quote: mayorkas admitted the current release rate for migrants caught crossing the border illegally is above 85%. lawrence jones getting a firsthand look at the crisis. >> one migrant that is turning around, could get to the country so a lot of times you will see that they will go back and you will see the bag right there with all his belongings there. they will try again. >> ainsley: well, lawrence is down there on the border. it's interesting. lawrence, they are just doing this in plain daylight. yesterday the guy is climb over the fence in front of you and you were able to interview. that guy keeps turning around and looking at. >> lawrence: good morning, family. it's brazen. though know what they can get away with. they know if they can just touch u.s. soil go through all the barriers they will get a notice to appear in court.

places like new york, washington, chicago, filly, l.a. now it is a big story. there was a poll that came out in the last darius 90% of americans think what is happening behind you rio grande river approaching the united states is a significant problem. that is a drag on the president of the united states' poll numbers. >> lawrence: yeah. it's so true. i think the interesting thing about this and you all maybe remember. this for a year now, the biden administration, almost a couple years, actually. has been taking secret flights and dropping them in liberal cities that claim to be sanctuary cities. and there was zero pushback. it was only when greg act decided that he was going to bus migrants to the liberal cities that it became a problem when you heard the pundits when he first started this they said this is just a stunt.

this is not going to work. they cast aspersions against him and some in the mainstream media said it was a racist policy doing. problem when they started to get pushback from their own residents, black residents saying you are not putting us first in chicago when you see philly and new york that they have started to say maybe we need to change our laws. maybe we need to get rid of this sanctuary city policy. >> governor, desantis deserves a lot of credit, too. he started saying those flights into jacksonville. that's got to stop. the flights into west chester county, you got to be kidding me. then when he said okay, i'm going to drop them in martha's vineyard and they said wait a second, that's a problem. why is it a problem? it's martha's vineyard. i thought you could take care of them. a lot of money there why should impoverished working class community be forced to absorb these kids and families into their area and pay those prices while other affluent areas are immune to it and made everyone

re-evaluate what they are saying instead of the knee-jerk reaction instead of i'm outraged what governor desantis is doing and, what is happening in california, too. >> ainsley: lawrence went down to the border. been there the last few days reporting on what he is seeing. they had the town hall with nikki haley. an hour long at 6:00. tonight interviewing ron desantis. on wednesday donald trump at 9:00 p.m. but last night was nikki haley. she talked about all types of things she talked about what you are tawferg about lawrence, she mentioned the border and inflation. she took on her rivals. she aimed targets at them, criticisms of them and joe biden. she talked about her family. listen to a little snippet of what she said last night if you missed it. >> parents came here the right way. we are blessed to take care of my parents. they are 87 and 90. whenever i have dinner with my mom she still says are those people still crossing the border? they are offended by what is happening? my mom would always say if they don't follow the laws to come to

this country they won't follow the laws when they get to this country. if i'm a good mom and good wife i will be a good governor. if i'm a good mom and good wife i will be a good ambassador. if i'm a good mom and good wife i will be a good president. when my kids were little even when i was governor, i would still be home five days a week to have dinner with them because i thought the family dinner mattered. sundays were our days. we always were together on sunday and friday nights were haley family fun nights. >> brian: i thought she was really strong last night. she pointed out one thing. head-to-head against joe biden i did do a lot better than the rest of the field. as much as 17 points. bret came back and said by the way head-to-head with president trump, you are losing by 20 to 30. basically wait to see. so she can get out of the simi finals she would do well in the finals, lawrence. >> lawrence: i find the exchange interesting. i think what she displayed right there is the right way that is the message. look, my parents came here the right way. they wanted to live the american

dream. i was born here. that is the way that you do it from an immigration standpoint. but there has been pushback against the governor for some of her comments saying listen, republicans have to be careful of demonizing illegals that are coming across the border. almost as if there is two different consultants in the room having two points of view there if there was one message of the governor one message. it's confusing for the american voter when you don't know where a politician stands on the issue. position we do it the right way. >> brian: say you are doing a bad thing crossing. don't hate the people. i think that's a little bit what she was trying to say. say you are breaking the law i get it. don't take the anger out on the people. >> lawrence: i don't think there is any republican primary voter that hates the people that are coming across the border. but, when you see people invading your country, when you see people that my home state of

texas, getting benefits that you shouldn't -- that you don't get and your economy is wrecked and they are getting jobs and getting handouts. it's infuriating for the average american voter. so i think she becomes a little squishy on the issue with a republican primary voter. look, that may work in a general election. if you are going to defeat donald trump, you got to be strong on the issue while also being inspirational. i think that was a good moment for the governor. >> steve: i talked to some of my cousins who live in iowa. they tuned in and they thought she was very strong. i thought she was really strong. the thing is shoe had some common sense plans and approaches. democrats should be terrified of her for the point before how she said, you know, in the general election donald trump beats joe biden by 4. but, i beat joe biden in the general by 17. and she made a really good point. and that was she said if i become president of the united states, not only do republicans

own the white house. but then they can win the down ballot people, positions as well in the house, in the senate in the governor. in the school board. i have got to say. i actually like the town hall format better than debates and i know we do both here on the channel. simply because a debate is a food fight. and you only have a minute and you got have an open, funny, if possible, make your point, attack the other, and then wrap it up before it goes ding ding ding. so, i am going to be tuned in tonight for ron desantis. and i'm going to watch trump on wednesday as well at 9:00. >> brian: i want to have the revolutionary concept of a tv time-out fact-check. i want each candidate in the debate to have three red flags. they could throw at any moment. so,. >> steve: nobody would appear. nobody would ever show up if they knew that bret baier was going to throw a flag. >> brian: not bret baier. not the candidate. so, when gavin newsom comes out and says something farcical like

more people have come to california than left. okay. i agree with my judges keep debating. come back, fact-check. governor desantis made it up. joe biden lied 2020. almost everything he said blew up the next year. we didn't find out about it at the time. >> steve: brian, the problem with that, historically is when candy crowley fact checked live mitt romney. >> brian: that's why three separate judges. >> steve: she was wrong. i think that's why after that it became a policy let's just not fact-check. >> brian: take it from the moderator. agree on three fact-check judges. >> steve: artificial intelligence. >> ainsley: you watch the debate the next morning f foxnews.com will fact-check. >> brian: my idea. play it thought. keep debating. take break. about that earlier fact-check desantis called out. the facts are he was 100 percent right.

i think it's revolutionary. >> ainsley: ron desantis defend himself and make his case. >> steve: if it makes him look bad is he not going to want to stick around for the rest of the show. >> lawrence: i like the shant model of putting the graphs up before the question is asked. teeing it up with all the facts and then allowing the candidates to answer. >> ainsley: that's true. >> lawrence: astonishing that sean would put all the facts with gavin newsom up before. people leaving your state. this is the economy. >> this is the homeless rate and then he still lied about the record that he had. i don't think there is any winning with politicians. they are going to go with whatever narrative they want to go with. even if the facts go against what they are saying. >> brian: then the flags could be sponsored by alcoa or somebody. >> steve: he revolutionary let's swear them. in put your hand on the bicycle do you swear to tell the truth. i wonder if anybody will show up. >> brian: i will call march and this bret and see if they will

to conduct their operations from. a safety standpoint, it's it's pretty sad to see another one of those slices of cheese accident causation accident occur in this case looks like there might be a number of factors. >> if you are doing maintenance on a plane and the bolt is loose, you should tighten it, i imagine talk about issues of door plugs. what are door plugs? >> in this case this airplane on certain operators such as ryan air they wanted more seats. to get the evacuation requirements met they had evacuation door. another operators like alaska air and all of those in the united states did not require that extra door. so they put a plug in place. so, it appears to me that both the design and the manufacturing

implementation of that plug as well as perhaps the maintenance with regards to tightening of fasteners were deficient. >> brian: charlie, what is in layman's terms, the type of situation where maintenance comes up to an airline and says i don't think it's safe, the bolt is loose. i don't have a good feeling about it. what is the protocol to ground a plane? >> well, the faa -- an airline can ground its own planes but the airline can in this case both happened. the airline first and then the faa. but, more than anything, the fact that they had several pressurization problems with this airplane and they decided to take it out over water operations and just keep it above ground operations, in my opinion, is the most damning thing for alaska because at that point they could have conducted on ground tests to determine if there were, in fact, pressurization problems observe

the gauge pressure, use various techniques to determine whether wherethe leak was like you do pe gas system on the house. they have a bunch of leak detection fluids and other detectives of finding the leak fairly quickly. they could have done so on this airplane. they chose not to do. so. >> brian: would you fly on this plane today if someone said, you know, the flight you are on, is this version? this jet? would you fly on it? >> obviously they couldn't do so in the united states right now because of the grounding. no. the answer to me before they completed the full study, no i would not fly myself on it and for my friends and my family i would not recommend they fly on it until this is fully investigated, fully resolved all the way to the design standpoint. >> brian: alaska airlines says all aircraft will be thoroughly inspected in accordance with detail instructions by the faa. charly, thank you. appreciate it? >> you are welcome.

biden. somebody is going to help the community not only help us with educational system but in texas well. >> lawrence: roger that, brother. ms. dorothy i want to go back to that because i'm live here at our southern border. and when you look at the studies that have been brought up saying over 60% of the migrants coming across the border are receiving welfare and people in our community aren't even getting services they are being let down. our education system is broken. what are you hearing from people in our community about that? >> yes. so people i spoke to yesterday they said they feel like when trump was in the white house, we had the borders more secure and biden has let the border get out of hand. and they just kind of like biden don't really care about the american people. he says he does and pretend like

he does. but he really don't. they feel like they can relate to president trump because president trump had the border under control and it was better. they touted the malarkey and b.s. that they feel like they have been going through with. so that's why they wanted. to say. >> lawrence: such a good point, ms. dorothy. jason, what about that, what ms. dorothy is talking about. the community wants more whether a do you know say to that. >> that's true to a certain extent. america always be the place where come in to quote the american dream. we create a system where america look to come here. now all of a sudden we are upset or mad about that. what we have to do as a country is put in place policies and
