Also hitting the market, s p global just dropped the scale that measures environmental, social and governance factors when assessing a companys credit policy. No longer important and we are seeing it ripple across the board. Sandra. Sandra all really interesting stuff. Thank you so much on all of that for us. As we hit a new hour, President Biden is set to deliver remarks shortly on what else his climate agenda and while hes taking a victory lap out west, back home in washington brandnew evidence released in the biden family investigation. Trace we start hour two of america reports. Im Trace Gallagher in for john roberts, great to be with you. Sandra im sandra smith, good to have you here, trace. Trace House Republicans released bank records that appeared to show millions of dollars were sent to bidens and their Business Associates from foreign sources. President biden has not spoken to americans about this or congressional testimony from his sons exbusiness partner. Sandra also over a week now since we had an on Camera Press Briefing from karine jeanpierre. You might remember that falls in these hours quite frequently. But the president did have time for a climate interview. They have more, cheaper electric, excuse me, cheaper wind and solar energy than any other state and he wants to cut it back so he can have more oil. I dont get these guys. Trace critics say hes handing russia a gift that reporting is still ahead this hour. But first, to peter doocy, hes travelling with the president in new mexico. Peter. And theres this question about whether or not President Bidens comments on this trip signal an attempt by this white house to try to put Fossil Fuel Companies out of business. His team has been telling us for months they are not but then theres this from the president. I want to stop all drilling on the east coast and the west coast and in the gulf. But got, i lost in court. There is something he doesnt need the courts for that progressives really want him to do, declare a Climate Emergency. A Climate Emergency declaration would also be great for our economy, millions of good paying union jobs for americans. He has not done that yet. We know he has not done that yet, and yet training the military by doing the climate stuff. For example, many of the bases, massive floods, they have flooded out military bases in the midwest and the south. That has a profound impact on readiness. And so we have to change the way in which we generate energy. That was the president basically saying that he cant go through the courts to do anything about climate but he can address things with the pentagon. To the progressive pressure on the president , he did answer a question from the Weather Channel which was are you prepared to declare a National Emergency with respect to Climate Change and he said we have already done that. We know that on paper he actually has not. Hes on his way here we understand from the pool travelling with him in the motorcade to this factory, he wants to talk about the transformation of the economy to a Green Economy and they picked a good place to do it. Because now this building makes wind tunnels, they used to make something that is notable to anybody that has been to a tailgate, and that is solo cups. Trace. Trace peter doocy live in new mexico. Talk about wind tunnels and wind energy, a lot of consternation whether wind is the future because those sources they thought were going to be big time Electricity Makers turned out not to be so much. Sandra it reminds you in the difference what people are feeling versus what the Administration Says they should be feeling, Kamala Harris talks about most americans cannot afford a 400 emergency, but yet they are told to buy 60,000 electric vehicles. And they want the focus on now and the reality of right now and prices are still up. And people are still struggling. Thank you very much, trace. Now to more on the Biden Bank Records we just mentioned, bring in marc thiessen, former white house Speech Writer and fox news contributor. Marc, great to see you here on this wednesday afternoon. What should we be making of all of this, and where does this take the gop and their mission to show that these ties do indeed exist with the biden family . Well, committee is going a great job by following the money and when they have revealed today apparently is another 20 million in payments to the biden family from russia and kazakhstan and other countries, and whats really interesting is this payment from supposedly the wife of the former mayor of, widow of the former mayor of moscow, she apparently started transferring money after the first invasion of ukraine, gave hunter biden 3. 5 million after that had dinners with joe and hunter biden and devon archer and then avoided being sanctioned under the sanctions after the 2022 invasion. This is the wealthiest woman in russia, former wife of the mayor of moscow, putin ally, involved in Organized Crime yet somehow shes not sanctioned by the Biden Administration when they are imposing sanctions on Russian Oligarchs . How did that happen. There are two lies coming through if its true. Biden said he never had n iing to do with his sons business dealings, she had dinner with him twice after she paid the son, and she avoided sanctions. Dots are being connected that are very serious. Sandra dots connected that are very serious, connected by the committee on which Byron Donalds joined me last hour and said this on the Biden Bank Records. The white house says joe biden never got a dime, i dont believe it and at the end of the day, if hunter biden was Spending Money for his dad on behalf of his dad, his dad doesnt have to take a dime. Thats facilitating a bribe of the president of the United States through his son. And another memo full of years old news, innuendo and misdirection says the white house but missing yet again is any connection to President Biden. This has been a pattern time after time, the white house says, comer hypes Up Bombshell Findings and yet has yet to release any evidence. How much longer is the white house going to wave this off, marc . They are going to keep trying. And hunter biden created a web of Shell Companies very hard to untangle. If you are doing legitimate business for somebody, providing a service in exchange for a fee, you sent me an payment, and this is clearly Money Laundering taking place and they are trying to make it hard for the presto dig through this and find this out. Of course, if every fact was in play for donald trump and donald trump, jr. And his kids, there would be pull Pulitzer Prizes in the offing. Exact same facts, different names. Sandra let people use their imagination on that. Marc, im sure you saw the compelling and emotional testimony given by the gold star families on monday, they were speaking out of the lack of accountability and demanding answers, this is christie shamblin, the motherinlaw of nicole gee. She was 22 years old when she passed away. I live every day knowing these deaths were preventable. My daughter could be with us today and that was not just one decision, it was many decisions, many times over it could have been stopped. So to call it a success is an ultimate disrespect for the very people that deserve every ounce of respect that we can give them. Sandra yet even though we just heard that from those gold star families, many of them, this was a question put to the state Department Just in the past hour, listen to the exchange. Marc. When the Administration Calls the withdrawal a success, do you believe it was a success. We believe it was the correct Policy Choice. Was it success. Correct Policy Choice but i would never want t quibble with a Family Member who has suffered such an enormous tragedy. Im going to move on to someone else. Sandra im going to move on. That was a question by Aishah Hasnie in that room. Your reaction to that. Thats their message. Move on america, move on, nothing to see here, happened two years ago, no big deal your heart breaks for these families. Joe biden could lose the presidency because of afghanistan ill tell you why. People are not voting on afghanistan in 2024, but they are voting a referendum on joe biden and if you look at the poll numbers before the afghan withdrawal, he was above 50 . And after that, he sank below 50 and never recovered. And on every single issue, why is that. Because americans looked at this and they said one, hes lying to us and two, hes incompetent, all the polls in the two years since it happened started in kabul two years ago when the polls went cratered and never above 50 again, the American People know hes incompetent and a liar and will lose the white house. Sandra and engrained in our memory, and listening to the gold star families that was powerful, powerful stuff. The worst Foreign Policy debacle in my lifetime. Sandra more busses full of migrants arriving to New York City this morning. Come to New York City and we are supposed to feed, clothe, house you as long as you want. That is just not sustainable, its not realistic. Trace the Sanctuary City is scrambling to find space for more protestors. Hundreds rallied tuesday against a new Migrant Shelter Opening in a former psychiatric center. And they have spoken against plans to open shelters on soccer fields. Sandra the american nurse and her daughter kidnapped by gunpoint in haiti now set free. What are we learning about their release and time in captivity.

What do you know about the conditions of their release . Well, sandra, just in the past hour the State Department confirmed that american nurse Alix Dorsainvil and her young daughter are free after 13 days in captivity. There were reports the kidnappers demanded a Million Dollar ransom payment. Its unclear if they received that. But what they know about her background. Shes originally from new hampshire, she lived in portauprince with her husband and worked as a nurse at a Nonprofit Group that he founded called el roi haiti and the organization you mentioned that announced her release. And wrote in part, it is with a heart of gratitude and immense joy we con if i were the safe relicks of our staff member and friend Alix Dorsainvil and her daughter, praising god for answer to prayer. And also answers the calls of protestors in haiti, hundreds filled the streets to support the american nurse, called her a Good Samaritan for providing them free health services. Earlier this week violence erupted in portauprince, many demanded protection from gangs that control about 80 of the capital. The problem has gotten a lot worse there since the 2021 assassination of the countrys president. This and gunfire forced the u. S. Embassy to close all Public Services for the past two days. U. S. Kept the country at a level four do not travel advisory since the kidnapping. A bad situation in haiti just continues to get worse. According to a u. N. Report out last month, authorities registered over 1,000 kidnappings between january and june and sandra, murders and kidnappings up for a fifth straight year. Sandra wow, with all the details on that, nate foy thank you for joining us. Trace. Trace Florida Governor ron desantis making another campaign reset, this time his Campaign Manager, third big staffing shakeup in under a month. Distant second behind former President Trump in the polls will that help him . Bill stepien, former Trump Campaign manager and partner at National Public affairs. Bill, great to see you as always. I want to know what you think about the shakeup, the new Campaign Manager, and maybe from the inside the Desantis Campaign is cool, calm and collected, but from the outside looks a bit chaotic. This is the third shuffle in a month. Some are calling it the threeboot. When President Trump called me over to the oval office to ask me to take over his campaign in 2020, it wasnt early, it was very, very late. It was july of 2020. Not an easy choice to make that late in the game, and over the next 120 days we brought the campaign back, mostly from almost all the way back. That was only because President Trump was bold and decisive. This transition has taken almost a month. What ill be looking to see, you can change the head coach or the Campaign Manager but to this point, largely, its been a candidatedriven problem, at least in my estimation. I dont think the candidate told the American Voters the kind of president he wants to be, thats not something you saw in 2015 in trump tower, you knew right from the start what kind of President Trump was going to be. I dont think hes done a good job what the Desantis Administration will be like. Time will tell if he makes the course correction. Trace the new Campaign Manager was Chief Of Staff for desantis, you know, Governors Office and so he knows the workings, knows the Inner Workings and not to say the campaign is dead in the water because its not, but its 30 plus points down, bill, a tough role for a Campaign Manager to fill. No doubt. This change needs to signify not just the change in leadership of the candidate but the candidate himself. Can he regain lost footing, sure. His record as governor shows that leadership is in there somewhere. But as you are saying, its august, its not april, and you know, theres a Yogi Bera Quote that says its getting late early, and it is. Trace back to ohio and talk about defeating issue one the voters did yet, big win for abortion rights supporters. What does this say about 2024, the campaign and how does it play throughout the campaign . There shouldnt be any Sugar Coating over what happened, it was a major setback in what became a very public fight between pro choice and pro life groups and the result was not close as youve been talking about. Remember, this happened in ohio, not a pink state anymore. This is a state that is red, its a state that trump won both times by more than 450,000 votes, biden barely contested the election in 2020, you have a republican governor just reelected with 25 , republicans control large majorities in the statehouse. Sheer politics should have provided a victory last night. Bigger concern what it means for 2024. National pro choice groups are at the ready and ready to pounce on this. We know democrats are not excited at all about joe biden, some polling shows that nearly half of democrats are excited about a joe biden candidacy again. These groups are going to provide rocket fuel to an unenthusiastic candidacy and knocking on doors and breathing life into an unenthusiastic campaign at this point. Its a big advantage for joe biden. Big hurdle for the gop to see if they can match that enthusiasm in some capacity. Sandra President Biden touting his Green Energy Push again out west. He says it will boost american jobs. New reporting finds china and russia may be getting the biggest benefits of all from this green push. What we are about to hear from the president.

Trace President Biden is touting a clean energy boom, hes in new mexico he is set to push for wind farms at the top of the hour. Yesterday he signed an Order Blocking Uranium Mining near the grand canyon and critics say it makes the u. S. More dependent on adversaries including russia. Brian brenberg and jackie deangelis, but first, grady, how could or might this help other countries . Trace, because almost all of the uranium we use here in power plants in the United States, it comes from other countries. So by creating that National Monument near the grand canyon yesterday, President Biden permanently banned new Uranium Mining claims on the 1 million acre plot of land so it could prop up countries that we get our uranium from. Kazakhstan and yes, even russia. They account for almost half of all u. S. Purchases of the metal. As President Biden limits mining, he is Praising Companies that are green lighting his green push by investing their own money. The private sector is coming off the sidelines. They have invested 250 billion in alternative energy. There is so much going on finally, finally, no one can any longer deny that we done have a problem with Climate Change. 250 billion sounds like a lot, but the total price tag of going green could be a lot more. Vice president Kamala Harris said last week taxpayers have already paid way more than that, four times that, a trillion dollars to transition to renewable energy. Critics say the Biden Administrations transition away from oil and gas is not going to happen on time or on budget. I think both republicans and democrats and most importantly, independent voters now have figured out the transition to green is going to take much longer than originally proposed by any administration, and these bankruptcies and the challenges of wind and solar in terms of committing to the grid, getting them hooked up, all of its taking much longer and costing way more. Its worth noting new mexico is one of the top Oil Producing states in the country but President Biden is not there t speak about oil, but touting wind energy and other renewables in 30 minutes to an hour. Trace grady, thank you. Sandra. Sandra Brian Brenberg and jackie deangelis, great to have you here. If we could, while we are speaking here, pop that live shot back up of the president where he is about to speak. Hes out there and this is his continued big Green Energy Push. Hes doing this at a time where gas prices are heading back to 4 a gallon, right. And remember, this is an administration thats openly talking about economic pain that the American People are living through right now. Remember this from Kamala Harris, ok. Just last week she said that most persons could not afford a 400 emergency right now. Yet hes out there telling people that they should go buy a brandnew 65,000 electric vehicle. Is that going to work with the American People, brian . Ill say it again. People cant afford the e. V. , they cant afford the floor mats for the e. V. Its completely unworkable and think about the suvs for families. Families cant afford this, people with children on a budget cant buy these e. V. S yet the Biden Administration is trying to cram it down our throat. What they are saying with the emissions regulations, either buy an e. V. Or you cant drive anything at all. Its a Take It Or Leave it situation. Sandra its amazing the writeup in the New York Times pointing out the lack of transparency, exposure to china, New York Times, Solar Supply Chain grows more opaque amid human rights concerns. Exposure to forced labor remains high and companies are less transparent according to a new report. Right, these initiatives are benefitting everything that joe biden and his cabinet say they are against, right. Other countries that are not doing business the right way and when you think about the cost that you just mentioned, con summers are pushing back. The sales of e. V. S its not trickling down to the bottom line and even the manufacturers are saying to administration and the union, hey, slow down, give it time to catch up. Let the Technology Get better, let the costs come down. The other point about how china and russia are benefitting, its going to take a while for the technology to get where it needs to go, as mr. Wonderful said the transition takes time so. If the private sector is suggesting as the president suggested, 250 billion, its a drop in the bucket. Thats how capitalism works. Then technology will catch up. Sandra and the subsidies poured into the companies the president is touting that are now failing. The president pushing solar panels despite the high cost. How do you convince americans the hard thing to do might be the right thing to do it. Tax credits, you can afford to do it and weatherize your home. We are paying people to make their homes more solid. Saying the quiet part out loud, we are getting tax credits to do it, thats what they do and you can afford to do it, said the president. They are not convincing anybody, they are just forcing you. They will give you money so its an offer you cant refuse or cant buy it. Water heaters, air conditioners, theres no persuasion here. This is top down coercion and all they have to do is go far enough and tap dance far enough until everyone knows it cant be reversed and then we hit. Sandra i asked Byron Donalds last hour as well. Listen. His Department Of Interior just made a National Monument of a million acres of land where we would mine uranium. Folks, the third biggest source of uranium for our Nuclear Reactors comes from russia. Joe biden took an allotment of uranium off the table. Its scary and dangerous, but what hes done to the oil industry is care scary and dangerous. And hes investing in other countries, hes killed our Drilling Industry here, sandra, and you made the point, we are taking oil in from our enemies. Why would anybody want that . Sandra why is their oil better than oil or cleaner than our oil. Its worse. If you cared about climate emissions, we are more clean than anyone. They dont care about the emissions, they care about control. Sandra interesting stuff, a bigger issue as we get closer to the election as well. Jackie, brian. Trace.

Sandra Russian Missile strikes killed at least nine people including a rescue worker, they say russia made the deliberate decision to target rescue workers. Greg, you spoke to a top ukrainian official about these issues . Absolutely, sandra. More in a moment, but president zelenskyy Holding Russia up to question for its conduct of the war here and apparently ukraine is not just talking. Reports are that kyiv sent two more drones in the direction of moscow in the last 24 hours. Russian Officials Say both were shot down before they reached their target, but still, it caused a stir. As Russian Defense minister shoigu claimed the u. S. And the west are waging a proxy war against russia in ukraine. A different view from a leading cabinet official when we spoke with him earlier today. Take a look and listen. Ukrainian National Security secretary is a top aide to president zelenskyy, with strong views about the war including the russian attack on civilians in the east. Definitely we have a war only by russia and putin is responsible. He defended the pace of the counteroffensive, and said its right to bring the war to russia. This is about justice. Our kids have to sit in bomb shelters, why should we suffer and they dont. As for peace talks, he ruled those out until Russian Troops are driven from ukraine soil. Also heard talk about u. S. Cutting military aid but is confident. Politicians use this in their political program. Democracy has to be protected, aid has to continue, because this is democracy. Sandra, we asked National Security secretary when he thought ukraine would achieve its goals, refused to be pinned down but said we will inform the world because its our country and we will get it back. Sandra greg palkot live in kyiv, thank you. One small step for man, One Giant Leap for mankind. Trace and it was, a race between the u. S. And russia to get a man on the moon, now more than a half century later the u. S. Is preparing to send astronauts back to the moon, but this time we are in a space race with china. Nasa is showing us a look at the lunar spacecraft and Recovery Operations for a moon mission expected to launch next year. Lets bring in tom jones, Retired Nasa Astronaut and awful of the new book Space Shuttle stories. Tom, great to see you, i look at the dates and the equipment and ok, scheduled to fly around the moon late 2024, land on the moon in 25 and 26, and wonder five decades later, whats taken so long. More sophisticated approach, we have a spacecraft bigger, four aboard rather than three and at least two will go to the surface three weeks. So a longer time and tap the resources on the moon. So the goal is different. To use the water on the moon to expand the operations and make it cheaper to some day get to mars. So its a more sophisticated approach and more ambitious approach with a lot of international partners, and moving parts. Its more complex and difficult to achieve. Trace i want to play this sound bite, nasa administrator bill nelson talking about the race between china and the United States. Watch. You see the actions of the Chinese Government on earth. They go out and claim some international islands in the South China Sea and then they claim them as theirs. I dont want china to get to the south pole first with humans. And then say this is ours. Stay out. Or get to the moon or mars and say stay out. We won the space race, tom. Seems like we are getting a little further behind china on this race. What are your thoughts on that . I would say we are well ahead of the chinese technically but again we are doing the Ambitious Program of tapping the lunar resources. China can go to the moon copying 50 years ago and saying we are the power. The u. S. Has to return to the moon to preserve the lead and reputation and important that nasa push contractors and team members to get there on schedule in 2026. A couple years after that the chinese could push to be there before we do. Are we relying too much on elon musk and spacex . Thats a good question, we are relying him to produce the lander, and so far the lander has not flown. Im worried about the testing to get the Spacecraft Starship to be the lander. And a second team, if you will, they could be behind spacex, by a couple of years. So its important for nasa to keep pushing to get this testing done on time. Trace im out of time, how long for mars, 10, 15 . I believe 20 is the number. Trace good luck on the book. Sandra wildfires racing across hawaii consuming everything in their path.

Casey stegall is live in dallas. Any relief coming . Oh, gosh, trace, i wish i could say yes. Unfortunately, well over 100 degrees forecasted, at least for the next 12 days here in the dallasfort worth area. Much of the state is under the excessive heat warning this evening, meaning the real feel temperatures when you throw in the humidity, somewhere around, oh, 112, not to mention parts of louisiana, mississippi and florida also baking again this week. Naturally with demand so high across the country for electricity, the cost of running that a. C. Is about 12 higher this summer compared to last.
