shooting victims as well as local and community state leaders, they will meet with local officials on the ground. one person the of administration is not committing to engage with his border patrol agents injured while in the line of fire tuesday. top of the president's policy agenda now is gun-control and white house officials domestic policy council are weighing options for executive action. something press secretary insists are very limited. >> what we are seeing is we need help, we need assistance. the president cannot do this alone, congress needs to act. >> joe biden was non- middle when asked whether the president could ban via. >> i would just say hey joe, instead of saying we can't let's say yes, we can. [laughter] >> the white house says rise, head of the domestic policy council is the person for gun safety issues. they say they are not going to stand up the task force on gun violence prevention nor is the

president going to appoint azar for the issue, a tool he's relied on dozens of times during his presidency to mobile these top issues. jackie: meantime harris rh over the response of this week's tragedies leaving more questions and answers regarding the timeline of the shooting and the officers response. joining us now to discuss, house oversight ranking member congressman james, and former police superintendent and chief, dan linsky. dan, i want to start with you because this afternoon i watched the presser where he laid out details of the timeline. he's with the texas department of public safety and he essentially said police made the wrong decision when they waited to breach the classroom where the gunman barricaded himself inside. essentially what he was saying is the distinction was that he was a barricaded suspect versus active shooter.

>> there was 19 officers there, plenty of officers to do what was needed to be done with the exception that the manner inside believed he needed more equipment and more officers for a tactical breach. hindsight now, it was not the right decision. david: august the he's acknowledging a severe mistake was made but other questions about training, how decisions were made that day, what the communication was with respect from the 911 calls to the officers on the ground. your thoughts where we stand now? >> we have to wait until the facts are in as reported initially outside the door for that period of time is unacceptable. it's not consistent with the training we have for officers even if shots stopped ringing in the room, i can tell you five gunshot wounds and lots of blood

and getting in and do damage control can save lives. i have to wait until all of the facts are in, if it was coming through the door and they couldn't get close to it, it's a different story, we will see if that's the case but how i would train officers, how we train officers is you go to the gunfire, you get in as quickly as possible in three to seven minutes, the subject self inflict usually, an onlooker inside the class for police engages the suspect and neutralizes it. if i was outside that classroom knowing children were bleeding inside that classroom, i would hope myself and officers would do anything to get inside. i was the chief with the marathon tommi, i saw, i'm a former united states marine, i know crisis.

it's not about freezing every human being will freeze, delta force, you freeze but if you provide the terry fire ems with proper training to get out of the freeze mode as quickly as possible and go in training and response mode, that's what they will do and i'm wondering here the failure of leadership and failure to provide proper training and responses and tools and equipment to officers so they could do their job that day but every human being will freeze. jackie: that's a central question that still needs answer, new york times has a grim headline, uvalde prepared for school shootings, it didn't stop the rampage so it raises questions not only about schools throughout the country and steps needed to prevent a situation like this, not to place blame on the teacher but she did prop the door open and walked away to get her cell phone to call 911

presumably and that's the door through which the suspect entered the school, that's another issue to think about but many democrats also are saying essentially this is about gun control, it's about stricter gun laws in this country and essentially attacking the second amendment. >> right and they always take advantage of a tragedy to promote their left-wing agenda. i've wondered how the shooter got in because i know congress has appropriated money the past year or two to try to help better secure school, and sure people can't just walk in off the street so now we know a big question is how the shooter entered into the school even though there's a lot of appropriation to the school system to secure the schools and it's something that has not, every member of congress want to ensure our schools are secure and people can't walk in off the

street for any reason but to use this tragedy to promote their far left agenda to enact gun control, i don't think it's a wise moves especially when we are learning more about mistakes made by the school system or the teacher rather and a lot of mistakes made by law enforcement. jackie: we talk about money appropriated for training, we talk about everything we've done in this country to shore up our schools, maybe more can be done to make them even safer but when you think about what happens here and you try to get through the pieces and break it down, mental illness could be central with respect here, a car can be used as a deadly weapon for a responsible person, we saw that happen in waukesha wisconsin so we stand back and say is this an issue of mental health, do we go after the guns were after the

people not using guns properly? >> all of the above. it's a mental health issue, we've closed our resources to mental health and as a police captain who worked with me, her son was mentally ill up until the age 18, then after 18 they were on their own, our captain turn in to the fbi concerned about what he would do as a result, he is now in prison because they did that. parents shouldn't have to make that choice, mental health should address people in crisis and social media, people are using, people in mental health crisis are seeing this is something they want to do, they want to be relevant in their last final days and understanding that, any mitigation measure we can to protect our kids in school,

that's training, quality procedures, personnel, look at what police has gone through in the last two years, we had a conversation about the funding police and let's ensure they militarize, this individual was in a barricaded position with a rifle, that's pretty military. cops need to be prepared. if we don't train them under the stress they will face where their brain is hijacked with cortisol and adrenaline, they can't respond when they need. jackie: be ready when it actually happens but all too often it happens. i'd like to give you the final word because i think dan brings a great points, there's so many people we could but obviously the suspect was posting on social media, he said there would be an incident in ten days and we know lawmakers are talking about gun control trying to shore up the rules, are there any conversations about social media companies regulating messages like these, flagging to

law enforcement trying to stop something like this before it happens when somebody is blatantly telegraphing to a certain degree essentially what they are plotting? >> we need a database of people who make threats on social media especially threats pertaining to school shootings or any violence with young children especially in the public school system and it needs to be shared by law enforcement agencies and it's an area where there is bipartisan support in congress in an area we have to focus on it. the social media has created a lot of challenges especially mental health issues and as dan said, the kids are using social media in the wrong ways creating bad behavior so i think mental health issues something congress has to focus on but also a database of people who make threats on social media and to share the data with law enforcement agencies. jackie: we can talk about what

happened, the breakdown in the system is laid out, obviously the adrenaline is something, communication is crucial and mistakes are made. i always say the best way to shore up the system would be to work on prevention and that would be one way amongst many other ways. james, wonderful to see you, thank you for your insight. more than 39 million people traveling this memorial day weekend, gas prices continuing to soar. where is president biden's plan to ease the pain at the pump? we've got that story ahead. ♪♪

everything from fuel to hamburgers and hotdogs memorial day barbecue. joining us now to discuss inflation, let's bring in former investment banker karol, great to see you. here is what i'm worried about, i'm worried about the consumer saying i need to get out, i've been cooped up for two years after the pandemic and whether i have the funds to pay for the gas and higher prices pretty much for everything travel, lodging, food, whatever, i'm going to do it and i don't have the money, i'll put it on a credit card. >> we are already seeing this, they are counting on the consumer to save the economy and that means personal savings are going down, personal savings rate all the way down to 4.4% today and we saw in the last report that including revolving credit card spending going through the roof so it's on the backs of the consumer they hope they can avoid a recession but it's strange because at the same

time the fed is trying to cool demand so not sure how those two things go to each other. jackie: it doesn't make sense, i don't get. >> it doesn't make any sense which means they are counting on you spending the perfect amount of money they thread the needle, avoid a recession and somehow bring down inflation. these are the people in charge of trillions of dollars worth of policies and created this to begin with and we are counting on them to get us out of it. jackie: a poll indicates 83% of americans think this country has gone off the rails for so many reasons, the economy and other things we are watching happen in the news and around us. his president biden having a chance at retaining control here? is pulling as a the lowest we've ever seen it. >> 17% of the people living in

perfect list who think everything is wonderful, i cannot remember a time our history that i've been alive for you have everything so, so wrong of the same time. i'm a fairly optimistic person, trying to find the silver lining and it's really hard to find that silver lining and in terms of whether biden can turn this around, i don't think any of us are thinking we will see light at the end of the tunnel anytime soon or if we do, it's more likely going to be a freight train. jackie: and when it comes to curbing inflation, they put on the federal reserve, the fed more aggressively raises rates and that will send into recession and what does the president do? not acknowledging spending is what got us here, he's got a long list of things he wants to spend on and one is forgiving student loan debt at a time like

this. >> yes, it is really frustrating because not only does it make no sense from an economic standpoint, anytime to do this, now would not be the time in terms of the impact on inflation but in terms of solving the problem, i have a lot of empathy for teenagers subject to predatory lending by the government, they buy them up in their teens, they are not giving appropriate are alive but all of a sudden forgetting $10000, it certainly isn't going to fix that problem -- >> but it could buy you a bunch of folks. >> it can buy votes although i imagine if you are somebody who didn't go to college and couldn't afford it, making 50 or 60000 a year -- you will not be too happy. jackie: always great to see you, have a wonderful holiday weekend. >> you as well. jackie: antony blinken says china remains the greatest

economic military balance. does it go far enough? joining us now to discuss, jeff andrew of the house home and security, congressman, always great to see you and thank you for joining us this evening it comes to the china threat, there was a former president who sounded the alarm on china and said china is not only going to eat our lunch economically but they are going to come after us in other ways as well. we have to lay down the law, we got to disentangle from china and he sent out a strategy to try to do that. the strategy undone by this administration and now antony blinken is saying china is our greatest threat? >> that's incredible. i think personally being a little facetious but the greatest challenge the united states of america right now is joe biden and his majority congress, what they have done to this country. a year end a half ago we had the china situation well under control and getting better because we knew and that

president new that it was important to be strong. no country has to worry if you are strong militarily, strong internally, economically, if you are strong in the energy portfolio and law in order in the country. all we were strong and now that we are weaker, it is again, i can't believe he brings this up because it's frustrating because they are the ones that have created the problems. even if it wouldn't have happened if we had been a strong america but we saw how we were and he thought he could do what he wants over there. by the way, russia is still a threat, it feels like it's a foreigner. russia is concerned about nato expanding along its borders a hundred miles where they were be even more nato countries, it's all your is stuff.

it changes constantly but what i will tell you and i do know, the most important we should do is not be scattered all over the world. his approach and what he said is much different than what president trump said. president trump said a strong america and we don't have to worry. antony blinken is think we have to leave other countries is a force to change the world and make sure everything is fair and good. i want to take care of americans in america, i want baby formula on ourselves, our prices under control, i want the america we know and love, time to bring america back home. jackie: i'm so glad you brought up that vladimir putin essentially exploited our weakness in respect to invading ukraine and we have a president who kept saying i will do this i will do that, sanctions will be coming making threats that obviously putin did not take seriously and now we've landed in a situation where it escalated become a larger strong

out conflict and lives have been lost and he said don't count vladimir putin out because he's handling, dealing with ukraine but he's not necessarily done with everybody else. i wonder is xi jinping is watching this and you've got president biden saying if you do this, who will defend, if you invade taiwan, we self-defense them, do you think he believes biden in washington everything happened and things the united states will do anything? >> i'm not being partisan, i don't know how you could believe biden because he says one thing and does another. he's got relationships we still haven't been able to unfold with china as did hundred biden, there's more to this, i think biden is involved up to his neck and a lot was going on with china. a year end a half ago different president, different time, we were worried, we let them know there's going to be hell to pay. you need a strong america. ronald reagan said no nation is

ever attacked because of two strong. jackie: you are right and former president trump had a plan to economically disengage which would have taken some of the power away as well and brought it back here back home on our soil. jeff andrew, great to see you, have a great weekend. closing arguments kick off today in the trunk russia trial assessment trial, defense slamming the case as misdirection, we got the latest on that ahead. >> of four misleading lying to the fbi but at the heart is hillary clinton, she sanctioned, approved these attempts to dirty up donald trump. ♪♪

who are worried it's going to spread hate speech but the fine is notable, $150 million, twitter says this was inadvertently done, didn't intend to do it, there was data we ask for from users, we said we were using it to secure their account. in fact it was used for advertising tools as well and the fdc has been saying is going to crackdown on privacy issues, this particular case really started a few years ago, it wasn't just the biden administration but it's reflective of ftc that is getting tougher and how it treats of privacy issues. >> when we talk about dishonesty at the company or transparency problems, there's privacy issues we discussed but also this issue elon musk was to investigate before he goes through with his transaction which is the fact

that they report less than 5% of users are fox and that's an issue musk doesn't think is true, evidence pointed to the fact there are a lot more fake accounts then twitter reported but somehow they managed to legally change the word, here or there, it was an estimate and get away with it. >> that's what musk is wondering. he said i'm going to put a pause on the deal until i get to the bottom of how many dogs are out there and spammers. $44 billion deal is reflective of a price that's trading under the share price but he's offering and his own tesla shares have dropped in value as well, reflecting troubles in the market but also concerns about this deal so he hasn't said he's not going to go ahead with the deal, he hasn't figured out how many belts are out there but until i get to more granular

detail on that, i want to take a closer look. jackie: what you think he challenged aoc to do, the polls and honesty, who is more dishonest, billionaires or politicians? i'm certain she won't do it but -- >> this is like the pot and the cattle, big business reflected in billionaires and congress are particularly trusted by the public altogether so congress in his mind less trusted than billionaires? i looked at some gallup data on public trust on institutions when i was watching this back and forth between her and him and since the early 1970s, public trust in institutions as a whole, whether the supreme court, presidency, congress, big business, it is way down, down for news broadcasts, newspapers, it up in a couple of areas, the military for example but it's

also the base registered first in the 1970s, the vietnam war when the military was not in particular refute with the public but institutions as a whole, i think if he gets his way and she gets hers, they would find that the public doesn't trust either particularly strong, doesn't trust institutions even religious faith in the church such as that, public trust has dropped the several decades. jackie: i think you're right and there's a lot of general mistrust and we will see if that shows up at the polls in subtle ways. john, great to see you, great is you. jackie: closing arguments in john terms probe on hillary clinton's involvement in the trunk russia fiasco. remember that? defense slamming the case as misdirection. ♪♪ >> this administration has

jury deliberations beginning today and michael sussmann's trial prosecutors said during closing arguments this morning that they have proof beyond reasonable doubt the former clinton campaign attorney is guilty of making false statements to the fbi. david spent in washington with more. >> jurors spent a few hours deliberating today but we won't have a verdict until at least tuesday. former clinton campaign attorney michael sussmann is charged with lying to the fbi specifically then fbi general counsel james baker when he came december

2016, he said can information linking trump organization to russian bank called alpha bank special counsel john durham says the lie is when sussmann told baker he was delivering information on his own, not on behalf of any client. durham argues sussmann went on behalf of the clinton campaign and peddled the story to the media. in closing arguments jurors stop evidence showing sussmann build the campaign on the day he met with the fbi. e-mails between sussmann and reporters also shown to jurors. his team told jurors despite what the government said this was not a giant political conspiracy theory. assessment attorney sean berkowitz told jurors a text message sussmann sent baker the night before the meeting doesn't matter, it's what sussmann said monday at the fbi headquarters and their norms or recordings of that specific in person meeting. we could have a verdict as soon as tuesday. jackie: thank you for that. joining me now with reaction, federal in your legal correspondent marco cleveland, great to see you when this first started, i thought this was a

slamdunk case, sussmann goes to the fbi and says he's a concerned citizen, really he's working on the clinton campaign and he gets them to start an investigation into something that essentially he knew there was no girth behind it. now jerry's deliberating and everyone is saying he's not going to get convicted. >> i am of the view he's probably not going to get convicted. not because there's not evidence, the evidence is overwhelming but to me what it comes down to is the two witnesses involved with the fbi, james baker, they were witnesses, they were the fbi agents who were bamboozled or knowingly went along with it but i would say bamboozled that sussmann was coming on his own behalf. if you have the people who were life to acting like i'm not here

because i'm out to get him and this isn't my prosecution, it's with the jury. the jury are people who live in d.c., they work with and our friends with and literally the juror, his daughter and her daughter goes to school with, sussmann's daughter. these people are part of the d.c. swamp and where they live, work and play. it's the people at the fbi shrugging their shoulders at it, i can very much see the jury doing that, i hope not, the evidence is overwhelming but sadly, i think it's more likely the outcome. jackie: who is on the jury is very valid and on america report earlier today he broke it down a little more, listen. >> the problem facing durham is he has perhaps the worst jury

ever seen for prosecution team you have three clinton donors on the jury, you've got a forest who's in aoc donor, you've got one whose daughter is on a sports team, sussmann daughter. jackie: i mean there you have it, you brought up the daughter and sports team situation and the swamp in general but you got clinton campaign donors on there, aoc donors, it seems like a certain degree this was a failure before even got started even though durham's probe has been sorrow unlocking and uncovering the problems ensued and led to this massive investigation that essentially ended up being a fraud. >> absolutely. i don't know how you are going to get the jury in washington d.c. a lot of the people there work for the government or have friends who work for the government so that is the problem but even if there's no

conviction, we are still getting information, there's no way you can take back the news that hillary clinton greenlighted the hoax, you just can't undo that. that is information out there so even if there's not a conviction, the public who's following knows what happened. i think going forward, durham is getting more information, he's been able to break through client privilege in some areas so even if there isn't a conviction, there's still pause say there's a lot. jackie: other networks are covering it, we are but the testimony was particularly damning, this clinton campaign manager talking to her essentially he said she knew and greenlighted to happen so if you are listening and watching this and that would be an issue. great to see you, thank you.

jackie: biden administration is allowing migrants to apply for asylum under a new system despite a major push by gop lawmakers to block the action. the new process will deliver a decision to migrants within months instead of years which is how long it usually takes through the immigration court system. officials say it will apply to a, quote, few hundred migrants a month. homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas says the new plan will deliver justice quickly while also insuring due process. joining us now, national border patrol council president brandon judd. title 42 still in place, but now we're looking to reform, you know, another aspect of the system here. it's amazing to me in this country when somebody else is going through the court system, you cannot push anything along, but when it comes to the immigration process, somehow we're going to magically wave a wand and make that happen? i believe they will do it. >> and that's the problem. i wrote an op-ed for fox news on this back in march when they

originally announced this rule. it is a very bad idea, and the reason why is because it removes the judicial branch from this entire process. you have to have checks and balances. our government was made up to have a separation of powers, so you would have eyes on what's going on. if you look at immigration -- i'm sorry, asylum officers, the bar that they set is very, very low, and if they move that over and apply that to the final asylum proceedings, that's going to be a serious problem. more people are going to be allowed in urn asylum, and that's just going to encourage even more people to cross our borders illegally. jackie: right. >> we must have the checks and balances. if you don't, one organization becomes way too powerful. jackie: and that's the issue, right? whatever the administration says, essentially they have an open border policy at our southern border. now they're saying if you want to go through the legal process, we'll make it faster and legal for you, and if you don't, just

come across, and nobody if's going to do anything about that either. obviously, the issue with title 42, you take a look at some of these numbers, and in april of 2022, migrant encounters, 7800, but if you lift it and we could have 18,000. >> you go back to what this administration is doing, and they want all of the power within the executive branch. they don't want that power spread out. we're suppose supposed to have coequal branches of government that insures that the executive branch is operating properly. title 42, if we properly implement it, it is a huge tool. it has proven to work. but when this administration carves out so many different countries from title 42, that again just encourages people. that's why the numbers have shot up so high. this administration continues to ignore the judicial branch, the judicial branch clearly said that they're supposed to prelim implement title 42 --

reimplement title 42 the way it was under president trump, and they're not doing that, and that's why we have the explosion if on our south border. jackie: it doesn't work with the administration's agenda, and that's why they're fighting it. i was talking about encounters per day, 18,000 per day if you lift title 42. i mean, just think about the magnitude of that for a second. but moving on here, there's a new fox news poll out, and it asks if people are for keeping the restrictions or ending them. 63% said keep them. only 27% said end it. >> yeah. again, the public is very clear on what they want. this administration pushes back against the public. this administration has too many activists in the white house. they have too many political appoint if tees that are in dhs -- appointees. that's why we're dealing with what we're dealing with. they're pushing back against what the american public wants. the american public sees what's

going on on the border. thank goodness for great reporting like bill melugin that is letting the public see what's currently going on. but just put in perspective what you just said, 18,000. at this time of the year typically speaking, we should be arresting about 1,300 per day. 1,300. it's jumped up to 8,000 and could go up to as high as 18,000. jackie: yeah. >> we should be so much lower than what we are, and it's strictly based upon this administration's policies why we're dealing with the influx that we're dealing with. jackie: the system is completely overloaded, brandon. you and i have discussed it a number of times. we just have a few seconds left. when i think about the magnitude of in that this administration has been in office a little bit over a year and what's happened at the southern border, do you think this country will recover? literally, 15 seconds. >> no, i don't. the damage has already been done. we've let in way too many criminals, and that's -- those criminals are going to commit crimes that are going to be devastating to u.s. citizens.

jackie: it is scary. we're going to have to continue to watch it, educate people about it and make them understand, you know, when you think about these numbers and as i said the mag knew did -- magnitude, it does put it into perspective. it feels like people are waking up. brandon judd, good to see you, thank you. i'm jackie deangelis, you're watching "the evening edit" on fox business. that does it for us. thanks for watching. ♪ >> from the fox studios in new york city, this is maria bartiromo's "wall street." maria: and happy weekend to all. welcome to the program that analyzes the week that was and helps position you for the week ahead. i'm maria bartiromo. thanks for joining us. many americans changing their travel plans amid record high gasoline prices. president biden declaring it all a part of an incredible transition away from fossil fuels. does it feel incredible to you? senator lindsey graham is here
