february 12th, 2024. as always, the story goes on. i'll see you tonight fox news at night. we're going to take a hard look on what we led this show with, the shooting in houston at the lakewood church. this is a megachurch and apparently this woman went in and she was allowed to go in to the hallway. it was between services. we're going to talk to somebody who has great insight on exactly what might have happened had this been just a few minutes earlier or later. "your world" with neil cavuto starts right now. i'll see you tonight. >> sandra: we'll take it from this. this fox news alert. this is live at the white house. president joe biden and jordan's king abdullah will speak moments

from now. this following the bomb shell report that put the president's mental fitness in danger. coming up, we'll speak to mark wayne mullen, a member of the armed services committee on his concerns. "your world" is now. >> ed. >> welcome, everyone. i'm sonda smith in for neil cavuto. this is "your world." when the two leaders come out, we'll take you there live. let's get to mark meredith in washington. hi, mark. >> sandra, good afternoon to you. the president is likely going to keep getting questions about his age, his electability and whether or not the special counsel's report says that democrats needs to come up with a planned b. critics speculate the white house skipped the skip down to protect the president's image. the president brought up the age issue.

>> i didn't realize and i've been around -- i know it don't look like it but i've been around awhile. [laughter] i do remember that. >> an abc news poll came out just over the weekend that shows 86% of adults think the president is too old for another term and the number is notable with democrats with 3/4s feeling the say way. so far the age concerns have yet to impact the president's ability to regain the democratic party nomination. he won easily in south carolina the first contest. his own main democratic rival, dean philips say americans don't want to talk about the issue. he said with can we stop focusing on who makes more gaffes and talk about the border and ending bloody wars and reducing housing and healthcare forne hard working families. we're hearing from kamala harris. she's rushing to the president's defense even calling the special counsel's report a political attack. she's trying to assure some of

the anxious democrats that she spoke to the "wall street journal" and he said she's ready to serve if necessary. sandra? >> sandra: thanks, mark. we await the president. thank you. president biden and jordan's leader meeting for the first time since that iran backed drone strike killed three american soldiers at a u.s. military outpost in jordan last month. lloyd austin is now back in the hospital. to jennifer griffin now at the pentagon where a briefing just wrapped. what did we hear, jennifer? >> sandra, first of all, as you mentioned. biden is meeting with jordan's king abdullah. the first meeting since the three american troops were killed in jordan two weeks ago. the two were slated to discuss humanitarian efforts in gaza. king abdullah has been calling for a cease fire. hamas still holds more than 100 hostages. the defense secretary was taken

to walter reed by his security detail and underwent anesthesia for a nonsurgical procedure. >> all indications, he will recover well and is in good condition and we'll keep you updated. >> secretary austin is expected to resume his duties tomorrow. unlike austin's january 1st emergency visit to the hospital in which he and his staff delayed telling the president and deputy defense secretary for days, this time the president was told before austin left for walter reed the secretary cancelled his trip to nato head quarters tuesday to oversee the ukraine contact group which means monthly to discuss ukraine aid. something that austin started in april of 2022. that meeting will be virtual. the timing couldn't be worse with european allies questioning the u.s. commitment to nato following the former president's

comment about nato who he said didn't not spend 2% of their budget on nato. >> i would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. >> this is exactly what putin loves to hear. if we're not united, it makes us weaker. we know that that is what putin is looking for. >> front line states like astonia are spending 3% of their gdp on defense and poland spends 9% on the u.n. europe has passed the united states in support for ukraine with the e.u. spending $96 billion compared to the u.s. sending 75 billion to date. >> thanks, jennifer. oklahoma republican senator mark wayne mullen joins us now. he's a member of the armed services committee. senator, welcome to you. nice to speak with you. >> thank you.

>> sandra: what would you like to see come out of this meeting between the president and king abdullah? >> king abdullah is a dear friend of mine. i've known him for many years. just yesterday my wife and my kids and i had a brunch with him. he is one of our strongest allies. he's a guy that is in a very bad neighborhood that loves america. but yet he needs our support. he needs a strong commitment by the president that we will be there. we will continue to have joint forces working together that we're going to make sure that we have the resources in his country to help him stand with us. listen, iran is no friend to jordan. he's very concerned about iran's proxy wars that is happening in syria with their terrorist organizations. they caught many terrorists trying to get in jordan on the border where tower 22 is. so he lives in a very rough

area. he need to make sure that america is not waivering. what you see out of the white house is appeasement and not strength. the middle east only, sandra, responds to strength. appeasement shows weakness. >> sandra: biden speak with prime minister benjamin netanyahu just yesterday. the white house said he stressed that a military operation in raffah should not proceed without a credible and executing plan for ensuring the safety of and support for the more than one million people shelters there. so obviously we could be hearing a big piece of news here as the two world leaders take to the microphones. do you expect anything major to change here? >> we do know there is a lot of conversations and a path moving forward. what happens, where is the exit strategy at the end of the war with hamas and israel.

what to do with the palestinians that live there. what does the country look like coming out of that. i believe king abdullah will have a big say in the direction and influence with president biden. i just hope that president biden and those around him will pay attention and take what king abdullah has in mind and what israel wants to do they have skin in the game here. >> sandra: we got an update in our program a couple hours ago, the indications are that this was a nonsurgical procedure to general austin. general anesthesia was required. the cancer prognosis is excellent. what is the risk of this happening while he's hospitalized? >> i wish secretary austin no ill harm. but at the same time, we need a strong leader.

we have a weak president. we have to make sure the pentagon is being ran by someone that is healthy. this isn't the time to be absent on the job. he doesn't want this to take place but it is taking place. at some point the biden administration needs to make a decision about secretary austin's future. >> sandra: thanks, senator. i want the ask about marco rubio talking to neil cavuto about how our enemies might be looking at this. take a listen. >> that report is also being read in beijing, being read in taiwan, moscow, the terrorists hiding out in their little caves. it puts our country in danger. nobody talks about that. >> sandra: what do you believe the hur report on the classified documents that the president had in his possession? what are we releasing to the world? >> when they release information

about his cognitive ability and him not remembering the years of his serving as vice president or confusing the years of how long ago it was when his late son passed away, it raises serious red flags. don't -- marco rubio is correct. they're reading these reports. they see what is happening. when you have a strong united states, you have stability around the world. when you have a weak united states, you have instability. that's what is taking place right now. that's why china is being aggressive, iran is being aggressive, north korea is being aggressive. china is aggressive because we have absence of a world leader that believes in peace through strength. marco rubio is correct. this is a huge red flag for us. i hope the american people will see this and make a decision in november that we need to move towards a strong capable leader. >> sandra: his haven't, kamala harris -- >> she's not one of them. >> sandra: she said in that interview she stands ready to serve. >> oh, lord help us.

how about we go to president trump? we know he has a strong ability to lead this country. his policies are sound and he puts the father of god in the world leaders around the world by understanding that america will not take any of this bully that they want to move towards us. so i do believe that president trump is the right person. kamala harris, that would be disastrous. >> sandra: thanks, senator. thanks very much. nice to speak with you. >> sandra: of course, we have got to take a quick look at the corner of wall and broad. it was a mixed day for your money. but there was a record-breaking day happening today. that was the dow closing at an all-time high. the s&p 500 unable to holderlier gains after hitting a record high. investors are waiting for the inflation report from january which is expected to show more signs of cooling. that is out tomorrow morning. we will certainly be watching for that. dow up 125. to the document drama gripping the nation and the likely

presidential election. donald trump attending a closed hearing in his classified documents case. the pressure is building to see that bomb shell transcript in the biden one-on-one, right, david spunt? >> yeah, the pressure building from republicans and democrats. we'll examine that coming up after the break. hi, i'm greg. i live in bloomington, illinois. i'm not an actor. i'm just a regular person.

some people say, "why should i take prevagen? i don't have a problem with my memory." memory loss is, is not something that occurs overnight. i started noticing subtle lapses in memory. i want people to know that prevagen has worked for me. it's helped my memory. it's helped my cognitive qualities. give it a try. i want it to help you just like it has helped me. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

>> sandra: former president donald trump appearing in closed door hearing in florida today for his classified documents case. dana marie is there for that. hi there. >> hi, sandra. this is no ordinary federal hearing because it really does have something to do with the classified documents that criminal case will be handled differently. now, trump's hearing finished up around 2:00 p.m. everyone part of that hearing was required to spend the afternoon in a special room that could hold classified documents. it's called a scif. it's a sensitive compartmented information facility. one was built for the force pierce courthouse. in trump's case, some of the

documents fbi agents seized at his home were marked top secret. hence the need for this level of security. trump's co-defendants were not in court today because they don't have the security clearance to see the documents. this complication has caused delays in the cause since the preparation for something like this takes more time. now this morning they spoke with judge cannon on how they will handle the sensitive or classified information. right now attorneys for the special counsel are speaking with a judge about their own strategy around those classified documents. right now this case is currently scheduled for may, but we do expect the judge to push it back to a later date because of the challenges surrounding these classified documents, sandra. >> sandra: thanks, marie. all of it comes as special counsel robert hur is facing growing pressure to release the transcript of his interview with president biden after the reports described the president

as an elderly man with a poor memory. david spunt is live with more following that. hi, david. >> hi, sandra. as i said before the break and the tease he's facing, the pressure from not only republicans but democrats and the pressure is really for difference reasons. there's agreeing chorus of republicans and perhaps some democrats that want this transcript out from the robert hur interview with president biden. special counsel robert hur sat across from president biden back for a two-day period. parts of a two-day period in october about five hours total to ask him and hear what his response to these questions are. we know the interview was reported and transcribed. >> it was a pretty surprising that the special counsel would state the obvious in writing. that joe biden's mental capacity is diminished. we see that play out daily. >> the special counsel's office not commenting but fox news told

via a source familiar that it's unlikely hur would release the biden interview transcript but doesn't mean that biden world, perhaps in the white house, may not release the transcript in some form. >> would you recommend that these be made public if they indeed back up your personal record? >> there's a process underway. i'm not a specialist. so i have to defer to those that have to work through those issues. >> that was the president's personal attorney and adviser, bob bauer. ian sams a spokesman at the white house said it's possible that there would be some release there. robert hur under fire from democrats for including information about the president's cognitive abilities that critics say was below the belt. hur was appointed by then. donald trump. we're told to expect robert hur to testify on camera in public al some point in the coming weeks and months. attorney general merrick garland has said with all special

counsels, he wants them to testify in public free from any interference for anyone to hear. back to you. >> sandra: thanks, david. should the biden transcripts be released? that's the big question at this hour. john yoo joins us now. great to see you. if they're so confident in what the president said in that room, why not release the transcript? >> exactly, sandra. i think we were one of the first people on this show to call for the release of the transcripts in respond to president biden and his lawyers attacking the integrity of the special counsel. i have to say, as a former doj lawyer, i do not find the comments that special counsel hur made in his report to be under the belt or unusual, a prosecutor has to take in into account how sympathetic is a defendant going to be to a jury if they will bring charges and whether or not that person seems like an elderly man with a bad

memory. if president's white house thinks it's unfair, they tonight have to get anybody's approval. the president can release those transcripts. he has the last say. so he can decide to do it. >> sandra: i suppose if i was talking to the white house right now, wouldn't releasing the transcript let people decide for themselves what to take away from the president and how he answered the questions? how his memory is doing? karine jean-pierre made the case that he's veering in speculation. so perhaps releasing the transcript we would have the opportunity to decide for ourselves. >> to give the other side of the case, a lot of the doj prosecutors and attorneys don't want to release the documents. they don't want to release recordings. they like people to be fully

honest with them, to be candidate. people might not cooperate if they thought some day my discussions with justice will be released. this is an extraordinary circumstance. the president attacking the very special counsel that his own attorney general appointed. it's incumbent on him to back up accusations with the proof. he has the proof. the proof has been transcribed and reported. it's all a question of whether he's fit to be president for another term. >> sandra: what is interesting in the hours and days that followed the hur report, the white house saying that hur has this wrong and, you know, he's speculating on the president's health. karine jean-pierre saying he's not a doctor. he shouldn't make comments like this. the same time, president biden when he held a news conference, he emphasized the doj said he shouldn't be charged over the

documents. so they're insisting that hur is correct when it comes to the law. >> biden has pursued the exact opposite approach of president trump took on these legal attacks. president trump has been very aggressive in court. he's not played ball. it's helped him politically. joe biden has tried to not cover up but tried to down play his own responsibility in the court. that's hurting him politically. >> sandra: let's listen to the president here, john. >> welcome back, barack is looking at you in the corner over there. along with queen rihanna who is meeting with jill now -- is the prince out here? i thought he was coming out. any rate, we have known each other many years. he's majesty has been a good friend all of those years, a steadfast partner alongside the queen. a be loved leader to their

people. the partnership between the united states and jordan is strong and enduring. today the king and i discuss with our senior foreign policy staffs what the issue that is front and center in the middle east and well-beyond. the war between israel and the terrorist organization, hamas. four months ago on october 7th, hamas attacked israel in an act of sheer evil. massacring more than 1,200 innocent women, men and children. the deadliest day for the jewish people since the holocaust. more than 250 hostages were taken. 134 are still being held hostage by hamas. we don't know how many are still alive. the anguish that their families are enduring week after week, month after month is unimaginable. it's a top priority for the united states to bring them home.

i have made clear the united states shares the goal seeing hamas defeated. ensuring long-term security for israel and its people. after october 7th attacks, hamas retreated back in to gaza where its leaders live in underground tunnels, stretching for over 100 miles beneath civilian infrastructure including schools, play grounds and neighborhoods. the past four months as the war has raised, the palestinian people have also suffered unimaginable pain and loss. too many of the over 27,000 palestinians skilled in this conflict have an innocent civilians and children. including thousands of children. hundreds of thousands have no access to food, water or other basic services. many families have lost not just one, but many relatives. cannot mourn for them even bury them because they're not safe to do so. it's heart breaking.

every innocent life in gaza is a tragedy. just as every innocent life lost in israel is tragedy as well. we play for those lives taken, israeli and palestinian and for the grieving families left behind. not only do we pray for peace, we're working for piece. security and dignity for both the palestinian people and the israeli people. i'm working on this day and night with the king and others in the region to find the means to brings these hostages home, to ease the humanitarian crisis and end the terror threat and bring peace to gaza and israel. enduring peace with the two-state solution. the united states is working on ahostage deal between israel and hamas which would bring immediate sustained group of

calm to gaza for at least six weeks, which we could then take the time to build something more enduring. over the past month, i've had calls with prime minister netanyahu to push this forward. the key element of the deals are on the table. there's gaps that remain. i've encourage israel leaders to keep the deal. the united states will do everything possible to make this happen. the king and i discussed the situation in raffah. it should not proceed without a credible plan for ensuring the safety and support of more than 1 million people shelter there's. many people there have been displaced multiple times fleeing the violence to the north and now they're packed in to raffah. exposed and vulnerable.

they need to be protected. we've been clear from the start, we opposed in force displacement of palestinians from gaza. today the king and i discussed in detail how to get more humanitarian aid in to gaza from the very beginning. my team and i have relentlessly worked to get more aid in. i urge congress for months to make sure that our nation's support for israel include aid for the palestinians. i've spoken with partners across the region, including king to help facilitate the flow of such aid in to gaza as much as possible. actually get to the people that are needed. we worked to get the raffah crossing open and to get shalom open and insist that we remain open. both remain open. we're working to open other routes as well. we're also working to make sure that aid workers can get the aid where it's needed once it gets

through. i want to recognize jordan and the king specifically for all he has done to provide humanitarian aid to gaza, including a few days ago. he personally got in a plane and helped conduct an air drop of urgently needed medical supplies in to gaza. i understand that two of his children has also joined the air drops. they helped fly humanitarian supplies in. the family's leadership and commitment are commendable. at the same time, we're working to create the conditions for a lasting piece as we talked a lot about upstairs. with the israeli security guaranteed in palestinian aspirations for their own state fulfilled, i say this is a life-long support of israel. that's the only path that guarantees israel's security for the long-term to achieve it,

palestinians must seize the opportunity. as i discussed with the king today, the palestinian authority must urgently reform so it can deliver through the palestinian people. both the west bank and gaza. once hamas' control of gaza is over, they must prepare to build a state that accepts peace, does not harbor terrorist groups like hamas and islamic jihad and together we will keep working to complete what we started. to integrate the region, to bring about peace between israel and all of its arab neighbors. including palestinian state. that effort was already underway before october 7th attacks. it's even more urgent today. no one understands better than our allies and partners in the region including the king what we need. i'm grateful for his friendship, including his and jordan's unique role of custodian of the

holy sights in jerusalem. we're grateful for this friendship. we saw that two weeks ago when three brave american service members were killed in an attack in a military outpost in your dan close to the syrian border by radical groups backed by iran operating in syria and iraq. since then u.s. military forces have struck targets in iraq and syria. our response will continue. we're grateful to our partners and allies like the king that work with us every day to advance the security and stability across the region and beyond. it's difficult times like these when the bonds between nations are more important than ever. jill and i are pleased to welcome him and the queen to the white house today. your majesty, over to you.

>> mr. president, thank you for your gracious hospitality accorded to me and my degation today. my visit carries an added meaning at our countries this year marks 75 years of exemplarily strategic partnership. however, we had hoped we would be marking this major milestone during better circumstances in my region and the world. unfortunately one of the most devastating wars in recent history continues to unfold as we speak. nearly 100,000 people have been killed, injured or are missing. the majority are women and children. we cannot afford an israeli attack on raffah. it is certain to produce another humanitarian catastrophe. the situation is already unbearable for over a million

people that have been pushed to raffah since the war started. we cannot stand by and let this continue. we need a lasting cease fire now. this war must end. we must urgently and immediately work to ensure the sustainable delivery of sufficient aid through all possible entry points and mechanisms. i thank you, mr. president, for your support on this. restrictions on relief aid and medical items are leading to inhumane conditions. no other agency can do what unrwa is doing, in helping the people of gaza through this humanitarian catastrophe. it is imperative that unrwa continues to receive the support it need to carry out's mandate.

the potential threat of palestinian displacement beyond the borders and the west bank is something that we view with extreme concern and cannot be allowed. at the same time, we must ignore -- we must not ignore the situation in the west bank and in the holy sites in jerusalem. 400 palestinians have been killed in the west bank since october 7th including almost 100 children and over 4,000 injured. continued escalations by extremist settlers at the holy sites and the expansion of illegal settlements will unleash chaos on the entire region. vast majority of muslim worshippers are not being allowed to enter their mosque. christian churches have also voiced concerns about increasing unprecedented restrictions and threats. it is also important to stress that the separation of the west

bank and gaza cannot be accepted. seven decades of occupation have proven beyond any doubt that there's no peace without a political horizon. military and security installations are not the answer. they can never bring peace. civilians on both sides continue to pay for this protected conflict with their lives. all attacks against innocent civilians, women and children, including those of october 7th cannot be accepted by any muslim as i have previously stressed. we must make sure that the horrors of the past few months since october 7th are never repeated, for accepted by any human being. we must together along with arab partners and the international community step up efforts to reach a cease fire in gaza and immediately start working to

create a political horizon that lead to a just and comprehensive peace on the basis of a two-state solution. and an independent palestinian state with east jerusalem as's capitol. listing side by side with israel in peace and security, this is the only solution that will guarantee peace and security for the palestinians and the israels. as well as the entire region. your leadership, my dear friend, mr. president, is key to addressing this conflict and jordan is ready to work as always with you toward peace. thank you. >> sandra: all right. so waiting a beat there to hear the questions shouted as the two world leaders chose not to take

questions following this news conference. civilians of raffah need to be protected. military operations should not proceed without any credible plan for the civilians there. certainly news off of the top when the president said the u.s. is working on a hostage deal that would lead to a period of calm for at least six weeks. he says we're working on peace day and night. what you heard from both leaders, there's too many innocent civilians killed in this war and on the continued response on iraq and syria on the part of the u.s., biden says that will continue. king abdullah says we need a lasting cease fire now. we just heard from the two world leaders. we'll have continuing coverage after a quick break. we'll be right back. the question. but now, you're really going to have to get those new dentures. after all, you need a smile that matches the moment. so this might be a good time to mention that aspen dental

to the supreme court. we're learning brand new details right now. david spunt has those. what do we know? >> sandra, we expected this because the deadline for former president trump to file with the supreme court was tonight at 11:59 p.m. obviously he came in before that deadline with this filing. 39 page argument from his legal team asking the nine justices on the u.s. supreme court to stay or put a pause on the unanimous ruling from the circuit court last week that found that donald trump is not immune from criminal charges and being prosecuted for his a -- alleged attempted to overturn the 2020 election. so there's untested legal theories here. so what is going on, donald trump's legal team has asked the supreme court to put a pause on that ruling, which really just

puts a pause further on proceedings. sandra, this case was supposed to go to trial here in washington d.c. before just tonya chutkin. that is not happening anymore. right now we're looking at being move back at least a couple months because the trial was put on hold. so if the supreme court issues a stay and it takes five justices to issue a stay, it will further delay this hearing or further delay this trial as i correct any self going in possibly late spring in to the summer or possibly in to the fall closer and closer to the election. could possibly happen after the election, which is what the former president's legal team wants. if the justices do not issue a state, it goes back to the judge who will start moving things again. in the legal world, it's not like she's going to snap her

fingers and say we start over again. many months of pretrial motions. right now we're waiting for the supreme court to way in. they could take one day, two days, three days, two weeks, five weeks. we'll see what happens. >> sandra: we will. thanks, david spunt. live from the justice department. john yoo back with us for his take. what is your take on this? >> this is not unexpected. trump as david said lost unanimously in the appeals court in washington d.c. so if president trump wants supreme court review, he has to file for this state. the lower court said okay, trial judge, you can start the trial up again. i don't think that is very fair to president trump. he needs to have the opportunity to take this argument to the supreme court. i don't think his chances are that great at the supreme court. he's probably likely to lose.

but the supreme court has never held one way or the other if a president has immunity from special prosecution. jack smith is the first one to indict a president. i think the supreme court has to take this issue and resolve it. >> trace: can you lay out the options for the supreme court here? they could deny a stay, which would restart the trial, john. they could greant a stay and le the appeals courts rule standing. >> people need to understand, a stay is just asking the supreme court to freeze everything in place. so what could happen is as you said, the supreme court could deny the state and not take review of the case. i find it unlikely. that would allow the judge to start up a trial again. we could see trial proceedings started in a week or or two. the supreme court will say we're going to grand the stay and we want you to file to hear the case in the supreme court and

we're going that take that case and set this for argument. it's like the colorado case that was just heard last week. the interesting thing, we're going to stay it and go to the full court. three judges heard the appeal. president trump has the option after 45 days normally to have the whole 12-judge court hear it. the u.s. supreme court often likes to do that because they get the benefit of seeing what the lower courts did first. that might be what the supreme court will do here. >> sandra: digging in to david spunt's reporting about the timing of this. you look at the colorado case and how quickly the supreme court took that up. obviously there was necessary urgency on that when you have someone who -- a former president who is the frontrunner for the republican party in the upcoming election. timing is everything here. so unless the justices do move quickly, john, this trial could be pushed in to either the heart of the 2024 presidential

election or even beyond election day? >> yes, i assume the trump trial strategy is to get the case pushed off after election day. it's looking harder and harder to see the trial starting and coming to a verdict before the elections. suppose the court takes this immunity case. if they follow the colorado example and operate it like warp 9.99, it will take about three months between now and maybe when we actually see a decision. only then can the case start, but as david said, there's a lot of issues. the president has a right to say these charges are unconstitutional or they don't fit me. i don't do anything of the things that they said -- he has a lot of legal claims that he can make that have to go to the hower courts before a trial can get going. >> sandra: really interesting. there's precedent here, too.

>> yes, this is not -- this is the first time a president has been indicted. may not be the last time a president has been indicted. you're making a lot of decisions about immunity about whether a president can be disqualified that can reverberate not just for presidents but for senators, members of the house, people that run for federal office and future presidents. do we want them being worried about prosecutors when they make important decisions for all of us. >> sandra: i'm reading through the application. you can see there that they detail what you have heard from his legal team. the threat of future criminal prosecution by a politically opposed administration will overshadow every future president's officials acts especially the most politically controversial decisions. that would obviously be a concern. we appreciate you jumping on the breaking news and coming back. thanks, john. >> my pleasure. >> sandra:alejandro mayorkas creating a firestorm yet again by shifting blame over the

>> it certainly is a crisis. we don't bear responsibility for a broken system and we're doing a tremendous amount within that

broken system, but fundamentally congress is the only one that can fix it. >> sandra: dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas deflecting became for the migrant crisis. bill melugin has witnessed the chaos at the border first hand. he joins us now. aren't these people in power to fix it if it's broken? >> well, sandra what is significant about that meet the press interview with mayorkas, it's the first time where he's finally admitted that what is happening at the boreder is a crisis. keep in mind, he's decided to call it a challenge. he did that with bret baier in his interview last month. we're seeing a shift in language with the biden administration. men time, we worked with fox nation. a new documentary came out called "border crisis 24/7" where they embedded with myself and other migrants along the

border. we did some behind-the-scenes stuff. here's a sneak peek at what they saw. >> border patrol and federal contractors were trying to fix a hole in the wall that smugglers cut when a surge came pushing through the gap trying to get in to the united states and doing it before border patrol could fix it. they were trying to weld it. people started pushing through the hole. there's a human smuggler dressed in black on a the other side. he sees our camera. he just gives us a shrug and salutes us. border patrol has been finding these cuts all over the place. they try to fix them. they say it like a game of whack-a-mole. about 2,000 crossing here every day. >> that was in lukeville,

arizona. what is unique about this documentary, when we do these live shots, we get about 90 seconds, this documentary has a lot of behind this scenes footage. we went to lukeville, arizona, rio grande valley in texas, eagle pass in texas. san diego sector where we shot all sorts of things going on. myself, griff jenkins. this is lukeville, arizona. we're trying to show you what's going on and what you can't really see in our live shots. keep in mind, the numbers are on tract to set a record for the fourth year in a row now. we've had cbp migrant encounters since october 1 topping 1 million. that is in a little over three months.the numbers are shooting through the roof again. remember, we're in the slow time of the year right now, sandra. when we get to the spring and summer months, these numbers will take off like a rocket

ship. if anybody would like to check out the documentary, it's on fox nation right now. you can watch it, see it at the bottom of your screen. it's about 25 minutes long. a lot of great footage that we should in december shooting a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff of what is happening every day, which mayorkas is now finally calling a crisis and just the other week, president biden himself admitted that the border is not secure. we're starting to finally see a shift in language coming out of the biden administration, sandra. >> sandra: bill, it's a great point you make. you look back as we have seen clip after clip of the years leading up to this moment where they're acknowledging this is a crisis. they were in most times in denial that this was even happening. you think about all of the warnings from republican lawmakers in that moment to the administration. do something. this is going to get worse, this is going to get worse. now we're at that point, bill. >> yeah. think about how far we have come.

we used to have the white house saying this is seasonal, it ens and flows. the sort of thing that happens every year. they said people are not just walking across the river. they said when they do, they're not trying to stay here long. we had karine jean-pierre last may saying mass releases are not happening. we've repeatedly heard them say the border is secure. it not a crisis. it's a challenge. now everything is doing a 180. we're hearing the president saying no, i never thought the border is secure. we heard mayorkas himself in the meet the press interview say it's a crisis. he told bret baier he would not call it a crisis. there's something shifting. >> sandra: kamala harris says she stands ready to serve if that came up as vice president, obviously, this is someone appointed to be the border czar. did you ever get the sense that she was heavily involved in fixing this crisis? >> no. what she's been focused on again

is remember, three countries, guatemala, honduras and ensalvador. we have over 160 countries from around the world showing up at our border now. primarily getting a lot of chinese, venezuelans, men from africa. the american country has nothing to do with it. the effort she's putting in the root causes will do nothing to stop the numbers that we're seeing now. >> sandra: just became a bigger and bigger political issue. look at the primary. this was the number 1 priority for voters. far from the border. bill, great recording. thank you. we'll be watching for that fox nation special, "border crisis." thanks so much. ready, set, snow. the northeast bracing for a winter storm that could have an impact across the country. adam klotz. what's up?
