thinking about what else she wants to control. >> if you rule the world, what one thing would you do? >> i think about that a lot. maria: i'm sure she does. coming up, wisconsin senator ron johnson on the economic impact of forced resignations from nurse, pilots, teachers, bordere agents, military men and women as they refuse to accept a forced vaccine and other communist moves of this cadministration. plus -- >> where are you going now? >> boston. >> how come? what's in boston? maria: my encounter with migrants at the southern border, where havoc is being thrown at texas farmers as got away illegals harass and threaten their land. i just got back from the border with a message from one of those farmers for president biden. >> i feel like he has abandoned us. he doesn't care for the people of this state, of this area and we're extremely disappointed in him and i think he should be ashamed of himself. maria: coming up, more from texas ranchers tim worth on why he can no longer leave his home without carrying his gun. then, texas governor greg abbott on fighting back, what his administration is doing about federal vaccine mandates and the oidisastrous impact of biden's open border policy. plus, steal from america by trading on joe biden's name and position, the conflicts seem to be never-ending. joe biden sharing a bank account with his son hunter as hunter rolls in the cash from foreign governments while joe was vice president. no wonder joe -- he joe is feeling quite rich these days. >> i'm a capitalist. guess, i've also been for 36 years the poorest man in the congress. i make big money now as president. maria: the road ahead, will democrats be able to pull off the most expensive tax and spend plan ever, bernie sanders' massive spending plan expected to be voted on by october 31st. do the democrats have the votes to getee it over the finish lin, perhaps taking the country one step closer to a socialist welfare state. california a congressman ro khanna is here, he will bring us the very a latest, all that rigt here, right now on sunday morning futures. ♪ but first this morning, this exclusive, sources tell sunday morning futures there is speculation swirling in washington that house speaker nancy pelosi may step down after ougetting the massive spending package through. so all of those democrat members who had their arms twisted to vote on the multitrillion dollar package and put their own re-election in jeopardy may be fuming to learn that the speaker could be planning a cut and run. joining me right now to discuss the spending package and vaccine mandates is wisconsin senator ron johnson many he sits on the senate homeland security and foreign relation committee. it's good to see you. thank you for being here. i want to talk about the breaking news we have in terms of the speculation, we do not know if this is true. let me be clear. but the rumor has been heard by many that nancy pelosi wants to get the spending through and then step down. that a would create a special election. here's kevin mccarthy on this program last week. >> she's a lame duck speaker. she's on a farewell tour. where was she when the democrats were working on reconciliation? the u.k. she's back in europe when they're supposed to work on the debt ceilings. the reconciliation bill, she put $200 million from hard working taxpayers for a park in her district. maria: senator, thanks very much for being here. your thoughts? are you hearing this? what can you tell us? >> oh, good morning, maria. well, i have no further insight, i would be the. last person they would confide in. but we all know that nancy pelosi was willing to sacrifice herw majority for obamacare and bernies' budget, this 3.5 which is really 5 to $5.5 trillion reconciliation package it's just a laundry list of new entitlements, make more pamericans dedependent on government, explode our deficits, explode our debt, and of course make more americans dependent on democrats like nancy pelosi or her success s ss to keep them in power, this is about democrats wanting to continue too he provide benefits we can't afford that eventually the middle class, people in the poorer parts of our country will end up picking up the tab on this stuff but it seems popular. everybody likes to get free government benefits. and so this is what democrats do. this is who they are. maria: it's pretty incredible because there's so many unintended consequences, i assume it's unintended, the fact that people don't want to go back to work because they're counting on further checks, whether it be child care checks or the other money in the bill. do you think we will see a vote on october 31st for this and let me put up ron klain's retweet of jason furman, saying that most of the economic problems we're facing including inflation, supply chains, are high class problems, senator. this is what they say, this is high class problems. we're going to show a graphic in a moment of some of those, quote, high class problems where you see spikes in many items. >> democrats are just living in a fantasy world. they deny reality. and theiv reality is, high inflation primarily affects retirees and the working poor or any poor person. the rich people can handle inflation. they'll figure out p the right places to put their money. their assets will inflate with the rest of inflation. it's the poor, people on fixed income that are incredibly hurt plby inflation. and people need to understand that. and unfortunately, it always sounds good when the federal government is sprinkling around benefits, going to give you free college and free child care and free pre-k, all the stuff is not free as margaret thatcher said, the problem with socialism, that's what democrats are putting us on this path, socialism, the problem with socialism is sooner or later you run out of other people's money which means you start coming after the money from the middle class. maria: senator, look at these numbers we're showing on the fscreen. gasoline up 42% year over year, energy overall 25%. used cars and trucks, 24%. food, 4.5%. clothing, transportation services, it goes on and on. we also have some of the food specifically broken out here, things like meat and poultry, fish and eggs, up 10.5%, new cars, i mean, it's just incredible, hotel price, 18%. what are your thoughts on the federal reserve saying these are temporary? >> doesn't feel that way. i was in business for 30 some years. it was like pulling teeth had to get through a price increase. as i talk to businesses now in wisconsin and throughout the country, price increases are just expected and they're being accepted so it he creates inflationary expectation. we have all the ingredients for stagflation, supply dislocations, labor shortages, inflation, this is a really bad sign of things to come but again, the democrats are living in a fantasy world. they're denying that reality. what they want to do is they want to push through this big bernie budget, the entitlement package, make more americans dependent on them, on government. it's not going to work. it's going to hurt those very same people. maria: so there are reports today that joe manchin is saying get all the climate out of this bill, all the climate items, alexandria ocasio-cortez i imagine is not going to go for that. what rush thoughts in terms of on october -- what are your thoughts in terms of october 31. >> i hope for democrat gridlock. oftentimes in washington, d.c. gridlock is the better alternative. when it's democrat gridlock, pray for it. i hope that's exactly what happens. maria: s okay. so i want to ask you the impact of all of this and what you think in termss of the oil and gas situation because i think this is an area that's really hitting all of us quite hard. you're feeling it as well. the president canceled the keystone pipeline on day one. he banned oil production on federal land. he reversed trump's alaska drilling. i remember the time it was a national goal to be energy independent. we're no longer energy independent as the president begs opec to do something about it. >> well, to call president biden and his administration incompetent is accurate. it's too kind. ithese are their policies. they want to drive up the price of fossil fuel. they want to drive up the price riof energy so apparently we use less of it. again, energy prices affect the price of every good and commodity. so again, this is exactly what they want. they want open borders. they want deficit spending. they want to increase debt. they want to make americans more dependent on government. they the want increasing energy prices. they wantgo inflation. this is what they want. and this is what was so disappointing in the last election. i tried to warn americans, don't elect people that want to fundamentally transform america. i said this repeatedly. do you like much less even love something you want to fundamentally transform? so no, they have put america on a disastrous path. we need to yell stop and we need to sweep democrats from you power in the 2022 election so we can stop the madness. maria: it's all quite extraordinary. probably the most extraordinary of all is the forced mandate coming out of this white house. you've got resignations up and down corporate america. i want to take a break. when we come back, we'll talk about biden's flip-flop on the vaccine mandate. last year he promised he wouldn't be mandating a vaccine. what changed? and then a new report that joe and hunter biden shared a bank account as hunter was rolling in the dough from chinese and ukrainianrc oligarchs which much of the media continues to ignore. we'll be right back. i've beend with chasing the big idaho potato truck. but it's not like that's my only interest. i also love cooking with heart-healthy, idaho potatoes. always look for the grown in idaho seal. age is just a number. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health. versus 16 grams in ensure high protein. boost® high protein also has key nutrients for immune support. boost® high protein. certified turbocharger, suspension and fuel injection. boost® translation: also certified goosebumps. certified from headlamp to tailpipe. that's certified head turns. and it's all backed by our unlimited mileage warranty. that means unlimited peace of mind. mercedes-benz certified pre-owned. translation: the mercedes of your dreams is closer than you think. ray loves vacations. but his diabetes never seemed to take one. everything felt like a 'no.' everything. but then ray went from no to know. with freestyle libre 14 day, now he knows his glucose levels when he needs to... and...when he wants to. so ray...can be ray. take the mystery out of your glucose levels, and lower your a1c. now you know. try it for free. visit freestylelibre.us overwhelmed by the ups and downs now you know. try it for free. of frequent mood swings of bipolar i?

what this about, senator? >> the mounting data shows they're not working or are as safe as we hoped and prayed they would be. the mandates are pointless. we know that fully vaccinated individuals are getting infected, they can transmit the disease, they're getting hospital 50eu6d a, they're dying, -- hospitalized, they're dying. there's no point to the mandate. the fact that the administration wouldn't recognize immunity, and people need to understand this. it's not being reported. it's being suppressed. but over 25 years the flu vaccine, there were about little less than 1700 deaths reported on the vaccine adverse event reporting system, that's cdc's early safety surveillance system, less than 1700 over 25 years. with the covid vaccine we've had 16,766 deaths in 10 months, administering this vaccine. now, i realize the figures don't prove causation but when you have over 5400 of those deaths occurring in zero, one or two it could cause serious concern. and the other stat is we now have 798,000 adverse events reported in just 10 months. 798 you thousand. the other criticism is it dramatically underreports the vaccine injuries. oso it's not an irrational decision for people to say i don't want to take this experimental vaccine. another point, is the fact that the only fda approved drug, the version of the pfizer drug, i don't believe it's widely available. we have on the nih's own website pfizer saying they're not going to be manufacturing the fda version until they use up all the other version that is only under emergency use and of course fda will not answer my letter when i was asking them, what are you doing here, you authorize one, you didn't authorize the other, you extended the emergency use authorization, what is going on here. the agencies are not being transparent, not being honest with the american public. maria: well, unfortunately athere's a lot of politicizatin going on in every agency. i've been asking the question, is the fda in bed with big far ma. look, you were one of the first to say let's try ivermectin, this is a merck drug, is been billions of people for other disease.eople for andd merck makes ivermectin. now we see that's off patent. it's a couple dollars a dose. they've got a new drug now, merck does, that's $700 a dose. they'll make big money on the vaccines and drugs. pfizer and moderna on the vaccines and merck on this drug as well. what happened to ivermectin? >> there's not money in it. and so you have the drug companies, you have the fda a, you have health agencies denigrating and scaring people about ivermectin. but here's the stats, on the fda's early warning system 379 deaths associated with ivermectin over 29 years, that's versus 16,000 with covid's vaccine. what is going on? same thing hydroxychloroquine, 1600 deaths. there's something going on here. i believe it's sinister. i can't explain it. 'sbut hopefully eventually the truth will come out. maria: senator, real quick before you go. got to talk about hunter biden. qyou have been investigating ts situation along with chuck grassley. what is the deal in terms of hunter and joe sharing a bank account when he was vice president while hunter was traveling the world, meeting with chinese oligarchs and chinese government officials and getting paid for it? we still could not get confirmation from this white house that hunter still has a fipiece of that private equity firm in china. is that why this administration is so soft on the ccp? >> it's real possibility. the other thing we don't know -- we do know that joe biden used a private e-mail account and he was passing government information along to hunter. but we can't get information out of that as well. again, there's a lot of things we don't know. you know who does know? china. russia. northh korea and iran. these intelligence agencies probably know exactly all the financial entanglements and all theta corruption of biden, inc., including joe biden. tony bobulinski said joe biden is compromised, i believe he is. we may never find out but the chinese government knows exactly what type of money laundering was occurring, what type of financial problems, entanglements joe biden and hunter biden have and a it's entirely possible that they're hanging that over this administration's head. it's what chuck grassley and i were trying to warn america before the election but the news media wanted joe biden elected, they suppressed it, censored it and now we have the rolling disaster that's called the biden administration. maria: unfortunately, that's one of the issues that we focus on, the t fact that joe biden refuses to raise the origins of covid-19, every phone call when he speaks to xi jinping, the subject never counsels can up. also there's conflicts about our onattorney general, pushing the very things that he's also sicing the fbi on folks. thank you very much for being here. we're going to take a quick break, mexicanak cartels are advertising their services on tiktok, american citizens are responding. they want to be paid to be the get away car in texas. one texas rancher feeling the impact. chhe will not leave his ranch without his pistol. we'll talk with him when we come back. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. when you sponsor a job, you immediately get your shortlist of quality candidates, whose resumes on indeed match your job criteria. visit indeed.com/hire and get started today. ♪darling, i, i can't get enough of your love babe♪ ♪girl, i don't know, i don't know,♪ ♪i don't know why i can't get enough of your love babe♪ ♪oh no, babe girl, if i could only make you see♪ ♪and make you understand♪ get a dozen double crunch shrimp for $1 with any steak entrée. only at applebee's. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood. >> i have to carry a gun all the time. i have to carry a pistol every time i leave the house. can even throw out the trash without a pistol. maria: you can shoot them and then what? >> i hope not. maria: then what happens to i will be the victim. maria: you will? >> yes. >> that's my greatest fear. >> the way this thing is shaking down from this administration is where the big-- victims-- [bleep] maria: i'm sorry, sir. >> we are not heartless and we understand. maria: i'm so sorry. >> with this open border policy it's not working and we understand there are people coming in that want a better life, but there's a better way to do it than the way that it's happening down here and we shouldn't be afraid in our own home. we live in the united states of america. maria: that was texas rancher don and john paul schuster in rockville, texas. john paul in tears explained to me the number of got a ways that trespass on their property every day causing property damage and causing fear for their lives. we traveled back to the southern border last week on morning with maria on foxbusiness, the third time i went to the border and i witnessed firsthand how things have gotten worse since this administration ignores the destruction of joe biden's wide-open borders. we are right now awaiting a new caravan of some 60,000 migrants on their way to the border on top of the one and a half million apprehended this year. of course, that number does not include the illegal migrants who got away. estimated in the hundreds of thousands of this year that we do not know their intentions, why they intentionally did not want to be apprehended and i spoke with tim ward who also carries his gun everywhere he goes and he's spent $150,000 to fix what the illegal got away spoke on his property. he has a message for joe biden. watch it disappear tell us a little bit about what you have endured into arms of a migrants coming your property, assess the situation. >> i'm a fourth generation kenny county and we have through the years experience what would be described a light amount of illegals that come through. in the last eight to nine months it's been an invasion of our area and what comes with that is their desire to cut fences, to disturb the wells we have. their reason for disturbing the wealth is to actually try to get charge for their cell phone. they come well-equipped. they come with new clothes and they come with a desire to get what they can get from us. we are on the border on the cutting edge, but what we find is that they are on the way to the cities. we have endured quite a deal. it's not unusual for every night to hear knocking on the doors and windows and we make an attempt to get up and answer the call and a certain way to ask them to leave. it is disturbing and our lifestyle has changed completely. it's no longer a peaceful life. it has changed a. maria: what have you gleaned from these exchanges and encounters? >> one recent incident was there were four that appeared at our back door about this time of day and they were well clothed, all had cell phones and they asked me where san antonio was and i told them to the east and pointed in that direction. they immediately said well, you are going to give us a ride right now and so i had kept a distance and i was still seated in my vehicle and i answered them by saying no, i'm not taking you anywhere and then they began to approach the vehicle and when they did i had a pistol on the-- and i reached for it and when they noticed that they said okay, we have had enough, we are leaving and so i asked them to depart from the property. maria: do you fear for your life? >> no, not at all. the freedom we wants to -- once enjoyed we are no longer able to cherish and enjoy. it's a different lifestyle. maria: do you carry your pistol everywhere you go? >> yes. maria: why? >> there was a time i did not, but now i do. maria: how often are you encountering strangers on your property and having to defend yourself? >> i would say they are here on a daily basis now, say we encounter them every day, no, but we know they are here. we see that debris they leave, the footprints, the fences cut and so we know they are here. maria: what kind of cost is that to you that you have to fix your fence? >> a tremendous expense. we recently in the last five years placed offenses and it was right at 150,000 and once the fences are cut we have right now about 23 cut. at the fences their attention. they are no longer what one would describe as durable as they were to begin with and so what i have had to do is move my livestock to another location because i couldn't risk them escaping getting on the highway and perhaps causing problems. maria: have you had any support from the government? have you told leadership and what kind of response have you gotten? >> we are basically working on it. we are trying to do something now. we've been blessed with local law enforcement, sheriff's department and dps have all been very responsive. maria: is there anything you want to say to president biden right now? >> i would like to say i think president biden should become the president of the united states. if this was happening in delaware, i know he would do something about it. if it was done in new york or illinois, there would be those that would call on him and he would respond to those areas, but i feel like he has abandoned. he has no care for the people in this state of this area and we are extremely disappointed in him. i think he should be ashamed of himself. i think he should be the one to go and hide which i understand he does often because to think he's been contracted-- entrusted with the highest office of this land and to think he would abandon his citizens just for political favoritism is a very serious critical error on his part. maria: my thanks to tim ward and the schuster support sharing their story with us. we'll be right back with texas governor greg abbott on who's funding this massive migrant caravan headed towards our southern border and why he decided to ban covid 19 vaccine mandates in texas. mandates in texas. mandates in texas. i'm gonna earn 3% on dining including takeout with chase freedom unlimited. that's a lot of cash back. are you gonna stop me?

(female announcer) release from golo, to lose weight and feel great. maria: welcome back. we traveled to the texas border last week for the third time in the last two years and i was able to see firsthand how this crisis has expanded throughout texas. from el paso to mcallen to del rio and now border agents tell me migrants are expanding into arizona. watch it. >> just between september 19, and a september 25, we had over 5000, 5400 arrests in a very small sector. this is not a big area. maria: he's referring to human arizona and join me right now the man who is fighting to stop this surge texas governor greg abbott. governor, great to see in this is morning. thank you for being here. before we get to what your administration is doing to stop all of this, assess where we are. are you seeing this crisis expand beyond what we saw a year ago? >> absolutely. listen, a year ago, of course, was still during the trump administration and they had put in place the policies that led it to the greatest reduction in border crossings, but now, we are seeing the highest number of order crossing because of the catastrophic open border policies by the biden administration and we are seeing more and more people come in, but i have to tell you there's something getting even worse and that's the cartels are getting even more aggressive and the cartels on the mexican side of the border are beginning to open fire on the national guard that texas has down on the border to secure the border. this is escalating into a firing more on each side of the border where texas and air national guard are having to defend themselves and the fed the state of texas-- defended that state of texas. maria: to be clear, we were in del rio and you said it's getting worse in other areas of texas? >> everyone saw what happened in del rio with regard to the haitians that came in there, but right now the hottest point is in roma, texas, in the stark county area and that's the area where the cartels on the mexican side of the border are shooting at the national guard on the texas side of the border. what texas has to do is to step up and guard multiple points across the entire border. maria: unbelievable, and i know the mexican cartel are very smart and they know how to flood one area so it opens up another area so they can get through smuggling humans and drugs across. we have new unofficial numbers from one of our border sources that says in the last month we saw 187,000 apprehensions, but of course, the number of got a ways is higher. 42,649 doctor waste, 91 people died in the u.s. in the desert. what do you want to say about these got a ways, we just heard some ranchers that said they are watching their property damage every day and they have to carry their guns everywhere they go including to throw away the trash. >> those ranchers were spot on in their assessment and that is the biden administration has completely abandoned those ranchers. in the biden administration has abandoned all the people who live on the border. they have abandoned people in the state of texas and these are counties and people who traditionally have voted democrat. the biden administration is ignoring them putting them in danger and you heard that ranchers talk about the need to carry a gun, remember biden said there is no need for anyone to ever have a gun, six rounds whatever the case may be. these are people who need the firepower to be able to deal with the cartels who may be coming across the borders of this is exactly why people need their second amendment rights to protected their own safety and defend themselves on the border. it's also exactly why texas is doing more than any state is ever done to secure this region so we can help ranchers like that, it's why texas has devoted more than $3 billion to secure the border and it's why we have the national guard and the texas department of public safety on the border, its why texas itself is building a border wall to make sure that we will be able to better secure our borders. maria: how can you do that, i mean, you are doing that just on state land i know because the biden administration last week said it's canceling all the remaining border wall construction contracts in that area, so i was there witnessing laws that were half done and the other half is wide open, i mean, it's quite easy to just get-- just coming from the rio grande, jump over and get in a got away car and i want to point out we understand-- another thing i learned last week is that these getaway cars are driven by americans, so the cartels are advertising their services on tiktok and snapchat i'm told so look at this graphic where we show cartels charging the migrants from the northern tribal eight to $10,000 but then they are paying american citizens a thousand dollars to be the getaway car and 90% of the cars stopped with illegals are driven by americans. what can you tell us about this? >> well, first of all it's true. a second, it's something the texas department of public safety has been working on and we just made it far easier for the texas department of public safety to tell the rest and be able to prosecute these people who are assisting in smuggling. this is an accomplice to a tell-- felony in the state of texas and so i signed a new law making it easier to crackdown on smugglers in texas and we are going after these people who are responding to these tiktok requests who are assisting the cartels and smuggling people into the u.s. that is a crime and we looked up at these people behind bars. maria: just extraordinary. governor, i want to switch gears and asked before you go about these axing mandates. texas and florida banning floor-- covid vaccine mandates in the white house is accusing you of putting politics ahead of health. why did you decide to ban it and set the record straight for us, does federal law override state law on what you can do with regard to mandating a vaccine? look at all of the people resigning right now. >> well, you make a good point about the people resigning because that's one problem with regard to the supply chain because so many people being forced to get a vaccine don't want to do that hence they are leaving their jobs, but to answer your question, clearly what president biden is doing is unconstitutional. there's a zero authority in the constitution that gives the president or his administration the authority to mandate anyone take a vaccine and that's why we feel very confident that these estate executive orders supersede the federal executive order because the federal executive order is completely unconstitutional. we want to make sure that our fellow texans who have been forced into this impossible situation about providing for their livelihood versus that being forced to take into their body something they do not want that it will be the state stepping up and protecting the individual liberty of our fellow texans from being forced to take a vaccine that could cause them harm, that doesn't take into effect the prior immunity they may otherwise have, doesn't take into effect at the severe reactions that some people are having to the shot. i have to raise with you something else people having considered and that is where does this end? we are talking about a federal mandate for a shot. as you know there's waning effectiveness of the shot. are people required by the federal government to take a shot every single year for the rest of their life? americans need to come to grips with the overreach by the biden administration. maria: it's an issue and a point that is well taken. a lot of people are worried about that and that's why we see all these resignations from nurses and military. that's going to have an impact on the economy as well because already businesses can hire the people may need. governor, thank you. thanks for all your efforts and for joining us this morning. governor greg abbott. we will take a break and then talk about is it a deal or no deal, and democratic congressman ro khanna is here on whether the house can agree on the spending agree on the spending bill by october 31. ♪♪ three times the electorlytes and half the sugar. ♪♪ pedialyte powder packs. feel better fast. >> are you ready to start a great career?

>> no. i acknowledge inflation is a concern and it's hurting working families and middle class as prices have gone up but what is the solution to inflation. there are two things that are the solution, we have to get people back into the workforce. what's going to get people back into the workforce? providing them with childcare. we saw economic studies show when you ended the unemployment benefits it didn't lead to people going back to the workforce because of childcare and the concern about covid so those are the things we have to address to tackle inflation. we also have to build manufacturing supply chain and our infrastructure. the bill is tackling inflation. maria: i went to talk about that, but do you think you will get a vote on october 31, for this? >> we will get a vote for the end of the year end i'm hopeful it's by october 31. maria: quick break and then more with ro khanna when we come back. i want to get into the hello, for the last few years, i've been a little obsessed with chasing the big idaho potato truck. but it's not like that's my only interest. i also love cooking with heart-healthy, idaho potatoes. always look for the grown in idaho seal. >> it is an incredible invasion of privacy. it allows the asic lately requires banks to forward information with transactions of $600. they talked about raising it to $10,000 but it's a political consequence and would be incredibly intrusive and it's a massive search warrant. maria: and that was the former president of the kansas city federal reserve. i am back with congressman ro khanna hooch chairs the house oversight subcommittee on the environment. congressman, you just heard what he said. is this bank surveillance still in the suspending bill? >> let me put some facts out there. first of all, the bill does not in any way survey all individual transactions. and there is oversight of individual transactions. all it does is ask the banks to give the total amount that was deposited and the total amount that was spent and the reason is because there's a lot of businesses in this country that aren't paying the taxes that you and i pay so if the banks have to give a statement on interest, why can't they give the total net outflow and inflow so people pay their taxes a? maria: you say it's not transactions, but you just said total deposit and what people take out and what people are taking in, i mean, $600 or even $10,000 affects most americans. >> it would be over $10,000, but it won't look at okay here is what you spent it on, it will just say did you make money and if you made money pay your tax just like banks tell you if you've made interest you have to pay your tax and if you get a double two-- the idea is that businesses should pay their tax and i don't think it's going to surveilled or snooped into people's privacy in any way because banks won't have the ability to go after the individual transaction. maria: but, it is a surveillance because the banks have to report that. a look, i don't want to get into the weeds without asking about your upcoming hearing. you have october 28, ceos from six major fossil fuel oil companies coming to testify in front of your committee. what are you trying to learn, what do you want to ask them? >> the truth. we want to learn the truth. we want to understand whether they are engaged in any spending on climate disinformation or if they recognize we are in a climate crisis and if they recognize that what are they doing to tackle the climate crisis. maria: congressman, great to have you. we really need to hear more from you more often and we hope you will come back soon. congressman ro khanna joining us this morning. joining us this morning. thth subway®... has so much new it didn't fit in our last ad. like the new deli-style oven-roasted turkey. and new hickory-smoked bacon. it's the eat fresh refresh™ at subway®. there's so much new we don't even have time for this guy! but i'm tom brady! oh, and there's smashed avocado too! ♪♪ eric: well, there's some new warnings of a growing global crisis. an official who runs one of america's busiest container ports says this could last longer than you think. this as americans are gearing up for the holidays. consumers not only seeing empty store shelves in some places, but they're also finding prices, well, they've skyrocketed for items that are still in stock. hello, everyone, ask welcome to "fox news live," i'm eric shawn. hi, arthel. arthel: hello, everyone, i'm arthel neville. pressure is building on
