studies. thank you for coming on. a wall, stronger border, keeps americans safer, you say? >> absolutely it does. the government accountability office last week released a report that found there has been 32,000 criminal aliens incarcerated in the last 40 years for homicide. these are 32,000 lives that would have been saved over the years if we had better border security, better interior immigration enforcement. there is something we can do about it and it is too easy for people to get into the country, get a job, live here without fear of enforcement and there are many things our governments can do and it starts with border security and the wall but it is also interior enforcement and making it impossible for people

to get here and get a job, drivers licenses, register a vehicle is this person did who killed mollie tibbetts. rob: is that 32,000 illegal immigrants or 32,000 immigrants in general? >> 32,000 criminal aliens that the government identified who had been incarcerated in federal or state prison for homicide in the last 40 years. some of them may have been here legally on green cards but government statistics show most of these chameleons are illegal aliens and they shouldn't be here to begin with but had the opportunity to pray on americans, legal immigrants and other people in the community and those are preventable crimes, needless crimes that can and should be stopped through better immigration.

jillian: there are $2.5 billion spent by the us to incarcerate criminals in 2015 alone. and illegal immigrants obtained false documents. what do you say to critics who don't believe in better border security or don't believe in the wall? >> reporter: they are completely wrong and oblivious to the effects that unchecked illegal immigration has on the communities. and drug trafficking, gang crime, identity theft, that we are not inflicting on communities and illegal immigration denies americans illegal immigrants the opportunity to get certain jobs being held by illegal aliens. it is costly for taxpayers not

only on the cost of prosecuting a fraction of the illegal alien population that is committing crimes and providing services illegally, accessing schooling and other things we don't do enough due diligence screening out people who shouldn't be receiving that. >> the young man in iowa who killed this young girl say his immigration status is just rhetoric. >> it is racist to consider somebody's immigration status. not long ago this was something that was important to both parties, that people should be here legally. what has changed? >> know doubt both republicans and democrats have been complicit in blocking necessary

reforms to the law that would address this problem, it affects everyone. and particularly the crimes committed by people in the country illegally often occur in immigrant communities and they are frequently the victims of these crimes. it is not race or ethnicity, immigration status is not dependent on that and enforcement is blind to people's ethnicity. we need to enforce the laws regardless who is breaking them. the effort to have this be a racial issue is one of desperation to enforce the position for open borders.

rob: disturbing video of a police officer begging for help and the suspect is trying to grab his gun, bystanders, security guard, do nothing. >> why did you do that?

a statement affirming his own job. here is what it read, i'm attorney general, the actions of the department of justice will not be improperly influenced political considerations. i demand the highest standard where they are not met, i take action. donald trump in an interview on "fox and friends" made clear his anger over sessions decisions to recuse himself from the russia probe. >> even my enemies say jeff sessions should have told you he was going to recuse himself and that you wouldn't have put him in. he took the job and then he said i'm going to recuse myself. i said what kind of a man is this? by the way he was on the campaign. the only reason i gave him the job was i felt loyalty, he was an original supporter. >> reporter: an original supporter. will sessions go? senator lindsey graham suggested trump may want a replacement after the midterm elections but other republicans are not so

sure. >> the idea jeff sessions might be fired because he is not a political hack is a very bad idea for the constitution, bad idea for public trust, bad idea for the payment of justice and for the president of the united states. >> reporter: to add to the discomfort, sessions was actually at the white house yesterday meeting with donald trump after this took place talking about prison reform and an awkward circumstance at the very least. rob: very awkward. thank you so much. jillian: lindsay graham sending shockwaves through the capital but jeff sessions refusing to back down. rob: david bossi respect the attorney general but his inaction on clinton and russia probe's cost him the president's trust. >> i believe there needs to be another investigation into what happened in the department of justice and the fbi, peter

stzrok, lisa page, what happened under james comey's watch. how this investigation was dealt with differently than hillary clinton's investigation, the double standard in the political nature of the fbi, you can say that all you want but those are the facts and what the american people believe. they believe the mainstream media is biased against this president because they are. yesterday 225 -- msnbc and nbc talked about impeachment. jillian: jeff sessions was the first senator to endorse donald trump for president. rob: hurricane lane pounding hawaii, a threat of landslides and the worst is yet to come, live in honolulu, the high of the storm gets closer to the island. >> all over downtown these posters say you are a predator and sexual violence, what is

parts of hawaii they are feeling the hurricane's affects for sure. right now flash flood warning is in effect in parts of hawaii's big island after 20 inches of rain fell in 24 hours, streets were flooded, rivers began overflowing their banks and this extends 200 miles southwest of hilo. concern is shifting to the island of maui which has been hit with tropical storm force wind and several airlines have canceled flights in and out of the island's major airports and at last check maui county was housing 250 evacuees in shelters, the storm has been downgraded from a category 5 since it began to track toward hawaii but officials say it is still a dangerous storm. >> lane has been downgraded, it is wide and very moist and it is going to hang around for a while because it is moving slowly. that is why we are taking so

much precaution here. >> reporter: for that reason parts of hawaii are under a hurricane warning including honolulu, despite the fact it is pretty calm. we expect another update from the central pacific hurricane center in 30 minutes. rob: hopefully will turn left sooner rather than later. brand-new facial recognition technology at airports is nabbing crooks. and imposter caught at dulles airport in dc after his passport didn't match his face, they found the id from the republic of congo in his shoe after he arrived from brazil. the groundbreaking arrest three days after the machines were installed at the airport. a game changer in american combat, the u.s. air force test dropping and earth penetrating nuclear weapon, combining different attack options into a

>> grabbing my gun! [screaming] rob: how do we change this mentality and de-escalate the war on police. joining us is doctor darren porcher. you see that video. it is disturbing. the inaction. >> it is troublesome. we look at police officers, they are impervious to people -- if the officer needs assistance, we are sure you can help that person safely and effectively, a helping hand. i understand the public in many instances are not trained to deal with offices in these interactions because taken to consideration co-conspirators on the fringe but this is a life and death issue. take in consideration the fact

this kicks in and -- jillian: playing devils advocate for a second, anytime you have been somewhere police are trying to secure a scene they say step away. police officers don't want you to get involved in a situation because they don't want a chance of you getting hurt so how are people supposed to say i will step in here but not here, how do you know when to do it? >> a slippery slope to say the least. one thing to take into consideration, we look to the trained professional, by and large the public did not trained professionals. responding officers cannot differentiate between who is who in these altercations and the truth of the matter is the best course of action for civilians is to call 911, not to record the incident but call 911. if people can assist you as assets by all means do it but be careful. goes back to the trained

professionals should assist to interdiction. shannon: the one person was a security guard. that is our understanding. >> a security guard should be a trained professional, that should be the individual who should step in. rob: filming in the background, how pathetic is it that the security guard is sitting hand in pocket? never seen anything like that. >> i have. it goes back, this is what people are doing in this day and age, looking to fill things and put it on social media as opposed to assisting their fellow man. we should all be good samaritans and do what you can. it may not evolve into a physical confrontation with an assailant but you can always dial 911. jillian: hard to get on that mentality of having the phone in your hand. is that helping or hurting police officers?

>> police officers have become impervious to people in these altercations. looking at body can video the average citizen and police officer is photographed 200 times a day in a place like new york, taking into consideration an extra case of privacy, they understood this and that is the way they go through the day. rob: they will offer $500 in cash if you help a police officer stopped the suspect. i like this idea on its face but i feel like this is going to be a big issue legally if you have people interjecting themselves with suspect and try to take down somebody, couldn't a lawyer pick that apart? is there a risk? >> the sergeants benevolent association. i understood where he was coming

from but the truth of the matter is we live in a litigious society. lawsuits maintain a level of prevalence. we need to use the ultimate discretion in these instances because what happens if a person steps in to assist a law enforcement official and that person, is injured, then that person sues, not just the police officer and the individual. the good samaritan comes to the play but by the same token you don't want to put yourself in that instance and let the trained professionals handle these interactions. shannon: good information as always. thank you so much. >> 21 after the hour, foxbusiness alert, be there before you leap, hundreds of thousands of suvs recalled for bad breaks. >> imam letter a-year-old

jillian: you argue with college students, you see what happens as kids get older when not given responsibility, something as simple as walking a dog at a young age. >> responsibility at 18 when helicopter parents are monitoring every activity, the children have emotional dependence, become easily triggered, they are not set out to be good citizens whenever reaction is monitored. jillian: is in their place or time that you see something, say something. >> a case of overreach. what parents know their child, the environment so allow them some freedom. this is unheard of in other countries where children can use public transportation, visit a playground by themselves, go to the grocery store by themselves. this was not the case in america years ago, watching sesame street, where mom tells the child to get a loaf of bread and

stick of butter, a small child gets those 3 things and it seems today the mom would be handcuffed. jillian: a difference of generations, difference of time have anything to do with it? when i was growing up we could ride our bikes around the neighborhood. we were not necessarily allowed to walk to school or from school until we were a certain age but is it a difference in time right now? >> absolutely. columbine, parents wants to control. the term helicopter parents has come because they always hovering. i call it black hawk down parents. >> let parents be the ones to decide what is best for their kids, not the neighbors deciding in 8-year-old shouldn't be walking a dog. >> the parents know the child and the environment and the

children need that responsibility, they need to learn initiative and execution and independence and this is how they learn it. it doesn't magically happen in college at age 18. jillian: a statement from child services we want to put on screen, we don't control the calls in our hotline, something made someone think there was a concern and we don't know without checking it out. and fairness, get a calling out a concern -- >> calling child protective services, she understands where her children are, simply around the block, she could see the block, clearly an overreach. 12 minutes after the top of the or, more heat for facebook, why not flag an article about donald trump as spam? >> if i'm to change this i must first change myself.
