senator mike lee, republican of utah, still addressing the senate floor. he's been at it more than an hour now. but the package leaves out money or changes to the southern border. a key vote to advance legislation set for tomorrow. the latest package following bipartisan border bill this a collapsed in the senate last week, the fallout testing republican unity. later in this hour we will talk with republican oklahoma senator markwayne mullin of the armed services committee to break it all down and what he expects in the vote. but first, we begin with the migrant crisis is that is fueling crime in cities far from the southern border. police in new york city arresting a 15-year-old migrant from venezuela. they say he opened fire inside a busy times square store, shots hitting a tourist, then shot at a police officer who was chasing him. that migrant will be charged as an adult. this is a brand new hour of "fox news live." i'm eric sean. -- eric shawn.
1:02 pm
molly: i am molly line. that violence at the busy cross roads of the world comes almost two weeks after a brutal attack on two nypd officers in the same area drawing nationwide attention and condemnation for manhattan d.a. alvin is bragg. it's also shining a light on the city's sanctuary status which critics say needs to be removed or reformed. >> governor hochul mentioned that she wants these migrants that commit crimes to be deported. however, this is something that happens on the federal level, not a state level. but this goes back to new york city declared itself a sanctuary city. >> right. >> having that status, you're allowing unvetted migrants to come into the city of new york. when you don't vet these people, you clearly see how the violence can man and put us as the 85 million if residents -- 85 million concern 8.5 million residents of the city of new york. molly: c.b. cotton is live in
1:03 pm
times square with more on all of this. c.b. >> reporter: hi, molly. investigators told me the 15-year-old suspect is being charged as an adult. his arraignment on multiple charges to include attempted murder was set for today in manhattan criminal court. the police say this suspect doesn't care who was hurt as he ran away. so the teen was taken into custody friday afternoon in yonkers which is less than 20 miles north of new york city. fox is choosing not to show his face because of his age. the nypd says the teen had been staying at a migrant shelter in the city when he and two of his high school buddies came into a sporting goods store thursday evening and began shoplifting. investigators say the teen fired a total of three shots from a .45 caliber country -- gun, one of them -- the totality of them, rather, were towards a retail security guard and police officers who were trying to stop him. paul mauro, former nypd inspector, says the facts and
1:04 pm
the situation show that this teen was comfortable with brazen crime, and investors will likely probe why. >> we see this sort of a braise withen, just unconscionable crime in the crossroads of his new city with a high caliber weapon that it's very surprising he got so quickly, it argues support network, connectivity here, connectivity back home. there's a lot of reporting that these guys are sent here as part of their a gang to raise money. >> reporter: so the tourist who was shot in the leg when the suspect first fired his gun, thankfully, she is expected to be okay. investors say this teen is also a suspect in two other crimes, an armed robbery in the bronx and a shots fired case in midtown manhattan. molly, back to you. molly: great point by paul murray, connectivity. we shall see where this leads. c.b. cotton, thank you. eric. eric: well, the attack on police
1:05 pm
officers in times square by those migrants has now prompted republican lawmakers in new york state to call for district attorney alvin bragg to be removed by his fellow democrat, governor kathy hochul. this after bragg set -- let several of those suspects go free without any bail. critics say it is the latest? a list of failures by progressive prosecutors to be tough on crime. new york republican state senator dean murray is here. he sent a letter to the governor along with fellow gop state senators demanding that she dump bragg. state senator murray, why did you sign the letter, and what do you think's going to happen? >> good to see you too, eric. and we, we did this because it'. we're past the time of talk. it's time for action. the governor, under the new york state public officers law, section 34, has the ability to remove a district attorney who is not doing his or her job. and alvin bragg has not been
1:06 pm
doing the job of protecting new york city and their residents. we don't have recall elections, so it is up to the governor. talk is cheap at this point. we need action. eric: there have been several calls for this. she even criticized bragg for letting some of them out. they would say, well, he's following the law because of the bail reform act and those other progressive policies. what have they done to this state? >> well, first off, those policies have made it much, much more dangerous. but, eric, he had the authority. he had the ability. gang assault on police officers is a bail able offense. we know this because just days after it occurred, police did their job. they arrested 7 of the suspected 12-14 that were involved. one was held on bail, $15,000, but the other six were released, they never requested the bail. and you saw what happened. your station covered it when they were walking out of the courthouse laughing, giggling,
1:07 pm
flip ifinging the bird, making obscene gestures. and, listen, this was a message sent to everyone in this city, in this state and in this country of how they feel about as. eric: one of the issues, foundation of this and drag's policies and the fact -- bragg's policies and the fact that the migrants are in new york state and other states has to do with the sanctuary state and city laws. you have moved in the state legislature to try to have new york state dump the sanctuary state law. what is your view, what is the progress on that? can that reverse what's been happening? >> well, first, if the governor is serious, she can take action. it was governor cuomo through an executive order in 2017, through that executive order that made new york state a sanctuary state. the governor can reverse that with the stroke of a pen. but myself and in the senate and assemblyman ed pflug have
1:08 pm
introduced senate bill 6964 which would prohibit sanctuary locations anywhere in the state. because, eric, what a sanctuary designation does is it prohibits local law enforcement from working with federal law enforcement. so federal law enforcement officials have a detainer request, they ask if you catch this person, please hold them nurse, we're going to deport them, the local officials cannot and will not cooperate with federal law enforcement. there should never be a law that prohibits law enforcement from doing their job and protecting our citizens. eric: and the aiming -- inimpact on the taxpayers of the state of new york and others across the country, $12 billion over the next 3 years. and new york city has had to reduce some services, as you can see right there. new york is not the only city. here's denver major mike johnson yesterday announcing that he's got to cut services in denver because of the migrant flow. let's listen.
1:09 pm
>> the first steps, they unfortunately will not be the last. and may not be the a hardest. this is a plan for shared sacrifice. this is what good people do in hard situations. we want to continue to be a city that a does not have women and children out on the street in tents in 20 degree weather, is and we also want to be a state that provides all our constituents with the services that they deserve and x. we want to do both of those. erin eastbound services are being cut, taxpayers being burdened. what is the impact of the migrant crisis op your constituents, on the taxpayers, on each one in long island where you represent? >> when i hear things like that, it makes my blood boil because you're talking about no one should be sleeping in the streets or in their -- we have homeless veterans, we have people that have put their lives on the line, said i will give my life to protect this country's rights and freedoms and and make it the country where everyone wants to come, and yet we're not
1:10 pm
taking care of them. you know, the mayor are announced a program giving out, spending $53 million to give prepaid credit cards to illegal immigrants, $1,000 each per month. where do the veterans get in line to get theirs? there is none. so it makes my blood boil because it's not about money, it is about priorities. and they are priortizing people who are not citizens, have not come -- have not done anything to benefit the country over our veterans and our citizens. it is absolutely a disgrace. eric: and finally, the impact on your constituents, on folks who go to work every day. what do they see in the tax bill, what does it mean for them? >> that's the thing, we are shutting down services. if you go to new york city, the libraries aren't even open on sundays anymore. they've had to close them down. and they're saying, be prepared, more is on the way. because we're just running out of money. yet this governor has proposed increasing in our next budget how much we will spend on the
1:11 pm
migrant crisis which means there's less for our citizens. eric: and it is continuing. new york state senator dean murray, republican of long island, senator murray, thank you for joining us this afternoon. >> thank you, eric. good to see you. eric: molly? if. molly: the white house on the defensive after a scathing report from if a doj special prosecutor who decided not to bring criminal charges against president biden over his mishandling of classified documents, but the special prosecutor citing the president's diminished mental acuity. the white house and democrats slamming that report as inaccurate and politically motivated. lucas tomlinson is live at the white house taking a look at all of this for us. lucas. >> reporter: well, molly, the white house isn't disputing everything in the report; namely, it's conclusion which propertied this question yesterday in the if white house briefing room. >> reporter: you're claiming that much of the report is accurate -- so why are you so confident that the conclusion is correct? if.
1:12 pm
>> the conclusion's been obvious from the very beginning. it was a long, intensive, sort of meandering investigation if that came to the conclusion that in february of last year, everybody knew that this wasn't intentional. >> reporter: it appears frustration is growing here at the white house over biden's attorney general who picked a trump a appointee to run the next into biden's handling -- investigation into bind he's handing of classified attorney. biden has told aides merrick garland did not do enough. over 70% of americans think the president is too old to be the commander in chief according to recent polling, molly. the president defended himself thursday night during cross-examination by our own peter dos i -- doocy. >> reporter: i'm well meaning and i'm an elderly man, and i know what the hell i'm doing. i'm president, and i put this country back on its feet. i don't need if his are recommendation -- >> reporter: [inaudible] and you continue as president? >> my memory is so bad, i let you speak.
1:13 pm
>> reporter: now, some democrats think it was a mistake for president biden to go out and hold that press conference hours after the hur report was made public. >> clearly didn't have the impact that they wanted. the only thing that he showed was some vigor, which was probably good. there was some edge that may have helped. but on the whole, the thing was not good. >> reporter: now, hillary clinton said in a recent interview that biden's age is a, quote, legitimate issue, molly. molly: yeah, it was interesting to see the white house press corps kind of on the same page over the course of that day. lucas tomlinson, thank you very much. eric: well, that critical report giving fresh campaign ammunition to both donald trump and nikki haley. the presidential candidates both taking swings at president biden during their rallies in south carolina today. >> this is yet more proof that we have a weaponized, two-tiered system of justice in this country. crooked joe got off scot-free. now, i don't know if you call it
1:14 pm
scot-free, they said he was a mental bass been basket case, so i wouldn't say it's totally scot-free if. [laughter] is this guy going to make it to the starting gate? eric: nikki haley also sharpening her attacks on mr. trump and his mental fitness. he has made confusing mistakes and misstatements too. haley trying to pull off an upset in her home state. >> they're saying, well, you know, biden, he doesn't know any better. you can't hold him can accountable for having these national security patients that he wasn't supposed to have. and now donald trump's like, well, if you did it for him, you've got to do it for me. that's sheer arrogance of joe biden and donald trump to think that they can put our security in danger just so that they could have a bragging point. eric: and two weeks to go until the south carolina republican primary. if molly? molly: house republicans are going to try once again, they're going to try to impeach homeland

eric: louisiana and utah among the latest states to send
1:19 pm
national guardsmen to the southern border. the move's intended to show solidarity for texas governor greg abbott. governor abbott is locked in that battle with the federal government over the right to protect his state and that shelby park. senior correspondent casey stegall is live at the border in eagle pass with the latest on this continuing standoff. hey, casey. >> reporter: hey, eric. yeah, lone star state crossings have certainly declined. however, they have not halted by any stretch of the imagination. however, instead of thousands a day, border patrol sectors in texas are now seeing hundreds a day, and that is a significant reduction are here in the del rio sector. activity has shifted away from the spot where we are in shelley park, that 47-acre military zone now mostly controlled by the state. now more of the activity is to the north or and south of us where this week our cameras captured more large groups coming across like this one. video you're seeing now roughly
1:20 pm
100 in size including small children. now handfuls of migrants are still being apprehended inside the city park which was once the end e center of this crisis -- epicenter of this cry e access. but now the governor says an average of 10 per day are arriving. and check this out, yesterday further away from us in the rio grande valley sector wild pictures, smugglers trying to flee from dps troopers driving their car into the rio grande river. nobody was hurt. the migrants were rescued. the driver swam to the mexican side and got away. >> the fact that shelby park is now secured, our state troopers can now get back to the main corridors, those highways that are used for human smuggling and focus on the criminal activity while national guard soldiers continue to place more barriers and secure other areas along the border. >> reporter: while over in the el paso sector this week agents disrupted yet another stash
1:21 pm
house containing 31 migrants including one with an extensive criminal record according to officials. that makes now close to 100 of those stash houses in that one sector alone since the new fiscal year began on october 1st. by the way, we have spoken to agents while here on the ground, and some say that they are disappointed that border bill did not pass this past week in washington, saying that there were components of the bill that would have helped them do their jobs better and help with this crisis. eric? eric: casey, quick question. is there a sense that the numbers are down where you are because of what governor abbott has done with the razor wire behind you in shelby park? >> reporter: yeah. this park is fortified. i mean, you can't get in, and we also have sat here and watched migrants attempting to cross the river, and then you have some national guard troops that will intercept them and yell at them in spanish to return to the
1:22 pm
mexican side. so it's very difficult to get through these no-climb barriers, the shipping container, the razor wire. but this is only about two and a half miles or so of the park where this is really fortified. and as we said, it's sort of pushing the activity north and south of here, not the whole border. eric: at least it's working right there. casey, good to see you. thanks. molly? molly: two big fail pd house votes have the gop questioning speaker mike johnson's future. the push to impeach secretary mayorkas continues, but house republicans will have to unite to secure those votes and, surprise news today, wisconsin congressman mike gallagher announcing he won't seek re-election. he was one of the republicans to vote against impeaching mayorkas on tuesday, one more seat now up for grabs could have major consequences for the gop's already very, very slim majority. let's bring in blue stack strategies founder and principal
1:23 pm
maura gillespie, a former adviser to pows house speaker john boehner, of course, giving us insight into just how challenging it can be for speaker. in this case a new speaker, kind of herd things together, count the votes. i want to get your thought on that, a couple of republicans join the democrats, with a lot -- loss of votes they've got one more chance when representative scalise comes back. there's a special election, man, things are tight. your thoughts on how mike johnson is doing, is he getting his feet under him in. >> i think the obviously last week was pretty rough for speaker johnson, and that's, you know, largely attribute thed to the fact that he has a very junior staff surrounding him. in no scenario should he have been in that position figuratively and literally, being there holding the gavel when the votes failed. that's not a good look and also a didn't need to hawaii i think hopefully they're regrouping and preparing for this next step, but i personally don't think that this is the route to go. i think when it comes to leadership, you know, listen to
1:24 pm
the will of the people, and that's super important it's also about a explaining why this maneuver is, you know, if you want to hold the biden administration accountable for their failure at the border, the best way to do that is on election day, not by encouraging members of congress to violate their oath to the constitution and by setting a dangerous precedent like this lack of true reasoning for impeachment, you know, that's going to have implications on republicans, democrats and the future of this country. it's something to think thoughtfully about and, you know, as a i look ahead to next week, there could be some members who reconsider. maybe brad wenstrup or maybe kathy mcmorris rogers, maybe they change their vote. it's going to be a numbers game, for sure, but, you know, i do believe that there are going to be some people who are wavering. molly: let's take a quick look at the numbers, super tight margin there. republicans have a tiny little bit of an edge, and as you
1:25 pm
mentioned, election day is going to be a big factor and make things even more challenging. there are a few republicans that have announced they are not going to be the running, cathy mcmorris rodgers, brad wenstrup and mike gallagher making that announcement. he is a young man, so he could have had, potentially, a long future there in the gop. so some challenging numbers potentially getting even more challenging. on tuesday there's a special election coming up in new york, that was the seat held by george santos, now potentially a very tight race. of the republicans are hoping to hold that seat. what do you make of this one last chance they have to get the mayorkas vote through? do you think that'll actually happen next week or not? if. >> i think it's going to be really tight, you know? obviously, you mentioned steve scalise is coming back next week, so this really does become their only option. i know tom mcclintock, he has a primary coming up, i think he's one of the only tree that hasn't said whether or not he is retiring or not running again. it'll be interesting, like i said, an interesting decision
1:26 pm
for republicans who view this as are they just following along with what the party leaders are telling them to do, or is this really what's in the best interest of the country as a whole. and that's going to to be a question they're going to have to grapple with for themselves. molly: republicans are blaming their back to back failures on impeaching alejandro mayorkas and israel aid on their slim majority, not on mike johnson. but this from representative thomas massie, republican of kentucky, on, and. he just made this post this week, getting rid of speaker mccarthy has officially turned into an unmitigated disaster. he complains that the work on the separate bills has ceased, spending reductions, talked about a warrantless spying but also our majority has slunk. your thoughts on -- shrunk. your thoughts on those two angles. >> one, as somebody who worked for speaker john boehner and for who many people are constantly telling him and might bees of -- members of our team how much they miss hiwish he was
1:27 pm
still speaker, i do find it interesting people always find the grass is not always greener on the other side. it is interesting to aerothat from thomas massie. but i think for speaker johnson, he chose not to keep any staff who were in leadership, and that inexperience and, quite frankly, that junior-level, not having that leadership appearance is hurting him. it's definitely not been apparent that it's been working for him to stick with his staff. but, you know, member service is important, and the people who have institutional a knowledge there on capitol hill, they matter. they make that place run. so i hope that he's reconsidering, maybe beefing up his team a little bit because he's going to need to if he wants to keep that gavel in his hand. molly: maura gillespie, thank you for your insights. thanks for joining us. eric? eric: well, the new jersey democrat senate race congressman andy kim has won by a wide margin at the garden state's first democratic convention that's been held in monmouth

china undermines sanctions and uses about 150 small and semi-independent teapot refineries. >> the reality is a feckless strategy of oil sanctions and enforcing those oil sanctions both against the transport and shipping of those oil, of that oil and its end users. >> reporter: so from hamas to hezbollah, the iranian proxies have cash and weapons. >> what we saw with the deaths of three soldiers is a direct result of three years of an appeasement policy towards tehran. >> reporter: during the trump administration, iranian oil exports dwindled to a few hundred thousand barrels a day. the u.s. ended sanctions exemptions intending to eliminate iranian exports entirely. enter we are going to zero. we -- how long we remain there, at zero, depends solely on the islamic republic of iran's senior leaders. >> reporter: now, according to some experts, iranian exports to china have peaked over 32

1:36 pm
money for border security. the package only includes funding for now for ukraine to continue its fight against russia and continued help for israel to defeat thests of hamas. terrorists of hamas. it comes after some republicans flock dropped that larger aid bill tomorrow. senators are right now on the hell debating it. joining us now is one of those republican senator, oklahoma senator mark wayne musclen who sit -- mark wayne mull ifen. welcome to "fox news live." >> thanks for having me on. eric: what is the most important thing to you that our viewers should know about the bill being debated at this moment? >> unfortunately, it count have border on it, but the american people spoke very loud about that. they didn't want the border bill that was being negotiated in the senate. so right now a lot of people, eric, has got stuck on the fact that this is a ukraine bill. it's not. it's really a national security bill. i'm not trying to put a spin on it, i just want people to understand real numbers. 75% of this bill actually stays
1:37 pm
inside the united states. it comes back into replenishing our munition and stand up our defense industry. our defense industry was way behind because for 20 years we have been fight a war on terror, and we weren't fighting a good conventional war. so when this ukraine war with russia broke out, unfortunately, we figured out really quick our defense industry was way behind on some of the advanced weapons is systems need. the other 25% of it, the biggest chunk of it in the tune of almost 6%, is for -- 60%, is for ukraine and riles. and let's not forget it's indo-pacific too, so taiwan to buy weapons directly from the united states. it seems backwards that a we're funding them to turn back around and fund us, but that's the way, you know, the defense industry works. eric: what you're saying basically is because of the ukraine warsh, that is helping us. that is helping america, our defense, and we're now catching up with our ammunition manufacturing? >> well, to -- yes. and it's unfortunate, but we were way behind. a lot of the defense systems
1:38 pm
that we use especially in air defense with you see russia actually bragging about they have supersonic weapons now, the defense system we had really wasn't being pushed to the limits. you know, when we were fighting a war on terror, we didn't have a whole lot of air defense especially talking about drones. drones have been recently introduced into the battlefield, and the technology to use that, well, we're spending $200 million missile the shoot down a $100,000 drone. it doesn't take very long for you to run out of money fight a war that way. so our hole defense industry we've been having to pivot and movement and so this bill is really more about national defense. and i really want listeners to know that i'm not trying to put a spin on it, it's just that we're calling it ukraine funding and everybody's hung up on that. and this is this about us. this is a national security risk that we have. we are very, very low on munitions. we're below what we'd like in our original stockpile. and the fact the president is actually signing executive
