heather: it is monday november 26th and this is "fox & friends first". happening right now at 4:00 a.m., a fox news alert for you, barricades and barb wires at one of the busiest borders in america as hundreds of migrants make a run for it. [inaudible conversations] heather: brand-new threat from president trump and the move méxico just made to stop the chaos. and thanksgiving holiday travel halted strong wind, heavy snow and conditions creating travel

nightmare on the busiest travel day of the year, how things are shaping up today after thousands of flights are grounded. and cybermonday mania historic amount of money expected to be spent today, where to get the most bang for your buck as "fox & friends first" start right now. ♪ ♪ heather: yeah, lots of people traveling back home from long holiday weekend. hopefully you had a great thanksgiving, good morning to you, you're watching "fox & friends first" on monday morning, i'm heather childers, thank you as always as starting your day and week was, we begin

with fox news alert, though, did you see any of this over the weekend, busiest port of entry reopened after hundreds of migrants stormed the u.s.-méxico border, images amazing, force today fire -- forced to fire tear gas. >> first test of trump's administration tough talk of caravan, more than 5,000 came across the border, rushed the port of entry san diego, began as peaceful demonstration on the mexican side but devolved into chaos causing border officials to cause tear gas as mexican officials arrested dozens for attempt to go violate enter the united states, kirstjen nielsen, dhs will not hesitate to shut down ports of entry for security

, anyone who destroys federal property, endangers frontline operators or violates nation's sovereignty, officials temporarily closed entry as mexican officials vowed to deport those they arrested and tighten the security along the border. deputy commissioner of the customs and border protection robert pérez told fox news that the caravan is really unlike any that he's ever seen. >> this caravan and this phenomena and how it manifested itself is anything than what we have seen in the past, the violence perpetuated in two borders and throughout the country of méxico is something that we have taken note of and we prepared to deal with if it were to occur. griff: situation prompting lawmakers heading back to washington to put priority on this issue. >> we have to get on top of this, it is a national security

interest and top priority of the president and the congress. griff griff now, reports over the weekend of cooperation between the trump administration and the incoming mexican president's administration holding migrants in méxico while asylum applications play out but nothing firm, heather, we will find out one thing is for sure, american officials will not tolerate our borders being overwhelmed like we saw yesterday. heather: yeah, it'll be interesting what happens today. griff, thank you so much, great to have you with us this morning. well, president trump under fire for his threats to close down the entire southern border but republican senator from iowa says that everything the president is doing is to protect the american people. >> i think that's the intent of the president, is to divert any issues before they actually happen so, of course, we don't want to see the border closed but you know what, safety of our nation comes first. i certainly think the president

sees results, any time he does bring up an issue and he does lay down certain reasons why he's doing what he's doing, i do not want to see the government shut down again, if we can avoid that situation we absolutely need to do that but also realizing the goal of the president and that is to fund the border wall. we also understand that our constituents have stated quite clearly that they want to see our border protected. heather, the president has asked congress $20 billion to secure the border which includes building the wall. new overnight, major east coast bridge is back open after toxic gas leak stops traffic for hours, the delaware memorial bridge closing in both directions as firefighters try to maintain flammable gas from a nearby chemical plant. officials say it was a high, risk, of a, quote, catastrophic

explosion that connects kentucky and new jersey, the cause of the leak is under investigation. and then in the midwest there was this, weather causing chaos for millions of travelers trying to get home from their thanksgiving holiday, snow blanketing major roads causing white-out conditions from kansas city to chicago, more than one thousand flights canceled on sunday and hundreds more grounded today, the system moving east and into indiana and michigan. nation's deadliest wild fire in a century, good news, new fully contained, several days of rain apparently helping firefighters knock out the campfire in northern california after more than 2 weeks of just complete devastation, crews will continue to dig through ashes and debris to search for nearly 250 people who are still missing, 85 people now confirmed dead in that wild fire.

back to politics, democrats threatening potential government shutdown, they want protection for special counsel robert mueller in exchange for supporting the spending bill, mat joins us live as congress barrels towards a december 8th funding deadline. good morning, matt. >> good morning, heather and everyone at home, we all can agree that copying is contentious but hold on because it could become more heated as we inch towards the december 8th government funding deadline, republicans and democrats are disagreeing on major issues and both sides are warning of a potential government shutdown. at the forefront democrats including ron white say they may not work to pass federal budget if spending bill does not include language to protect robert mueller's investigation, current protect from removal except good cause which is a grave problem, senator, key democrat on the judiciary committee admits democrats should use the mueller protection measure as leverage

in bargaining. >> i think we should use it however we can and, again, it's going to depend on what bills are coming through and how we can do it, but we have to protect this investigation. >> at the center of democrats want acting attorney matt whitaker to recuse himself j never seeing, whitaker will be brought before congress when democrats take over because the american people deserve to know if the president is interfering with justice. another major point of contention between democrats and republicans is whether former administrator james comey new line of questioning by congress should be public, democrats argue open session and transparent but republican congressman trey gowdy says the comey interviewed video taped and released because public congressional hearings have become carnivals, last week the president warned of government shutdown if he doesn't get funding for a border wall. hold on, heather, another round of potential shutdown.

>> there's always a deadline coming up. this one is very fast approaching, thank you so much, great to have you with us, matt. >> thanks for having me, heather. heather: with written answers submitted to robert mueller the white house awaits the final report on russian interference, alan dershowitz law professor says although mueller's findings could be politically devastating for the president they still won't prove criminal wrongdoing. >> it would be foolish mistake for mueller and say this is a crime because the other side will be able to rebut it, if he simply lays it out and leaves to american public he would be much wiser and i think the report will be devastating to the president and i know that the president's team is already working on a response to the report and so at some point when the reports made public and that's a very hard question considering the new attorney general who has the authority to decide when and under what

circumstances to make it public, it would be made public probably with a response along side. the president will say, look, it's political, that's their account and the american public has to -- heather: robert mueller has been leading the investigation since appointed. that by the way was way back in may of 2017. another democrat who originally opposed nancy pelosi as house speaker, steven lynch that he will vote for pelosi if it means not supporting a republican, last week new york democrat higgins reversed on pelosi and vow today work for her, house democrats to vote for pelosi this week and at least 14 democrats pledged against her. president trump is heading back to on to the campaign trail today making two make america

great again rallies one day before runoff election, stomping for senator cindy hyde smith, nor democratic opponent mike ep say secured 50% of the votes during the midterms. heather: how football now, minnesota vikings outlasting the green bay packers in showdown. >> can he get in? heather: he got in, securing violationings 24-17 win. denver, steelers, their kicker throwing touchdown pass to lineman and army vet alejandro villanueva but the fake not enough. that was something, though. that was a great play. and how about the bills and the jaguars trading blows in

buffalo, this wasn't very good. ejected as the bills survive. 24-21 and the eagles ending 2-game losing streak beating the giants 25 to 22 and check out seahawks runningback flipping over the defender and landing on his feet and seattle to 30 to 27 victory over carolina. look at that. it was close but, you know, with moves like that i don't know. well, fox news alert for you, chaos erupting at the border and now border patrol says legal loopholes are stopping them from keeping our country safe. attorney alex saying democrats will fight to keep loopholes open as she joins up next. >> we need different leadership. there's no question about it. so the question for me is, what do i do about this.

heather: as john kasich getting ready for another presidential run, the major hints the failed presidential candidate just dropped.

heather: welcome back, 15 minutes past the top of the hour, you're watching "fox & friends first", to fox news alert for you, hundreds of migrants storming our southern border as president trump continues to rail against loopholes in our immigration law. so what are the loopholes and will the upcoming congress do anything to close them, here with me is now legal affairs reporter for the washington times alex foyer, thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me, heather. heather: what do you think about the images that we saw over the weekend of these hundreds, i don't know if you can call them migrants storming the border, trying to break the law and get in illegally? >> yeah, it's something that the president talked about

repeatedly especially over the last several weeks when we learn offed the caravan heading this way and reports of other ones starting to make the journey to our border and it's really an unprecedented number to on top of elements of loopholes and so what the president has pointed to in terms of asylum seekers is usually they present themselves and they have to show some sort of credible fear of persecution in their home country and once they do, many of them are then given a court date and parole, meaning they are released sometimes to go live with relative here in the united states and because of the backlog, you know, they look at 2 years or so, 700 to a thousand days for their claims to be processed which means over the period if they move it's on them to report their new address to immigration officials. heather: i'm sorry, what you're describing as you continue to describe it is what is referred to often times as catch and

release and you were just discussing this but you can bring this up for people at home so they can look some of what you're talking about and alternative to immigration detention, you just said illegal immigrants were given court date and released in the u.s. until that date, we hear that a lot of them don't return for court date is that true? >> yes, that's what the president has -- we heard him repeatedly pointing that out ahead of the midterms on the campaign trail and it's at least my estimate it depends what group you look at, research organization but roughly 20% at least of asylum seekers don't show up for court dates, when you look at overall migrants as a whole that number increases and so we are also looking at something -- the asylum seekers with caravan had been focused and in the past attention given to family units and child separation which was something that was a big topic earlier this year and, you know, that's

based on the settlement which dates thank clinton era in the 90's where basically accompanied minors were not allowed to be detained more than 20 days and circuit expand today -- expanded to all children. heather: something that the obama administration has dealt with, the agreement. >> dated back since 1997 and also problem in the bush administration. if you're looking at -- when you talk about new incoming congress coming in january whether or not they will be able to take a look at this and fix that problem, the question looks at history and best been in place for more than two decades, the question bears if that's really a likelihood that there will be any changes made. heather: so the president has said that he would fight this case all the way to supreme court, what can be done to stop this loophole specifically catch

and we lease and images like we saw at this specific site on the border, this happened during obama administration as well. >> right, i think the president will have to make strong case that there's some sort of national security emergency in this that definitely gives the executive more authority to be able to make changes to immigration law, at least even in the short-term, we saw that with the travel ban, for example, and, you know, in terms of what we were talking about the agreement and child detention and how to handle family units when they come over with a child, i think that's something that we really want to see congress step in but like i said that dates back to the 90's that had to do with supreme court ruling and so i really think that you are going to see some movement from congress. heather: movement from congress is the key for sure. >> yes. heather: alex, thank you so much for joining us, appreciate it. >> thank you.

heather: lots of discussion of this today no doubt. 20 minutes after the top of the hour, marine killed if line of duty all because of uniform. >> he would give you the shirt off of his back and do anything for anyone. heather: how that hero is being remembered this morning. this isn't just any moving day.

this is moving day with the best in-home wifi experience and millions of wifi hotspots to help you stay connected. and this is moving day with reliable service appointments in a two-hour window so you're up and running in no time. show me decorating shows. this is staying connected with xfinity to make moving... simple. easy. awesome. stay connected while you move with the best wifi experience and two-hour appointment windows. click, call or visit a store today. heather: welcome back, the united nations calls an emergency meeting today as russia seizes ukrainian ship, russia opening fire in three vessels near crimea claiming they crossed into waters illegally, u.s. navy says 6 sailors were injured. battling for years after russia annex crimea back in 2014.

well, french president emmanuel macron expect today respond today to a violent weekend of protests, demonstrators angry over rising fuel taxes and cost of living. thousands of protestors flooding the streets in paris lighting fires and clashing with police. officials forced to use water cannons and tear gas to try and regain control, at least 130 people under arrest. this is exciting, in just hours nasa will be attempt to go land its insight spacecraft on mars, 7 minutes of terror the agency is bracing for once it hits the red planet atmosphere. >> everything has to be planned in this process including few moments of free fall that has nasa scientists very nervous after 7 months of space travel, the landing 90 million miles

from earth but the crucial moments in less time than it takes to hard boil egg, using small rocket, deploy parachutes to slow down. >> configuration about 7 minutes before we enter atmosphere, at that point, we will say good-bye to crew stage and say thank you for getting us a nice ride to mars, you're on your own now, this would go to mars atmosphere and burn up and we will be left with just the shell. >> the shell will taken readings immediately released. they'll be a few moments of free fall before the rockets kick in and that's when scientists are crossing their fingers that major dust storms don't become obstacle, two-year study of mars deep interior in an effort to help us understand how rocky planets were formed for. >> mars is really interesting

destination trying to understand what the conditions were like back 4 billion years ago, did life actually begin on mars in that time frame and if it did is there any precertify vagues of that left on the surface. >> when insight lands on 3:00 o'clock eastern viewers will be gathering in watch parties across the country but you can watch it from the comfort of your home, nasa is broadcasting the whole thing online. in new york jackie, fox news. heather: pretty cool, the time now is half past top of the hour almost, theresa may and the fight of her political life, the speech she's giving parliament today to try and seal the deal on brexit. one democrat says progressives will lead the party to take on president trump in 2020 but that help or hurt chances of winning back the white house, we will debate that up next.

heather: welcome back, half past half of the hour, you are watching "fox & friends first", we are back with fox news alert, chaos erupting in busiest port of entry as hundreds of migrants rush to u.s.-méxico border, border patrol agents firing tear gas into the crowds after some of those migrants became violent allegedly throwing rocks, officials temporarily closed the port of entry at san ysidro near san diego but has then since reopened, mexican officials vow to go deport arrested migrants and tighten security. well, president trump still pushing for his long-promised border wall but republican congressman andy says they need it. >> that's problem one, i think we can do it in the lame duck, i'm urging my leadership to bring it to my bill or even if

it's kevin mccarthy's bill, i don't really care whose bill as long as it's border bill this next week or two, we can get that done over to the senate. that's problem one. the other problem is that the senate doesn't have the horses to get it across either. so there's two big hurdles, there was a caravan in april and i feel like we have been prepared for this one so we have to face to fact that some of our leaders have let us down and congress has let us down and that's where we need to go. heather: biggs border bill would fine méxico and other countries $2,000 for every person arrested after entering the u.s. illegally. >> british prime minister theresa may must convince parliament to pass her brexit deal ahead of crucial vote next month. took less than an hour for european leaders to sign off of it this weekend, ellison barber explains why this next step

would be the biggest hurdle yet. >> prime minister theresa may is urging british parliament to sign off of brexit agreement, both may and the european commission president say this is the only possible deal. >> if people think somehow there's another negotiation to be done, that's not the case. >> european union, no changes -- >> the deal lays out the term of uk's european union departure and also takes into account the framework for the uk-eu relationship moving forward and what's described as the common objective of close future relationship but this deal is not final. next the british parliament and the european parliament will vote on the deal, may say it is british parliament will vote sometime before christmas after a, quote, crucial national debate. but the future of this deal in the uk is still so far from certain. it faces opposition from those who do not support leading the

eu and those who do. >> this draft agreement fills her own key commitments. the prime minister has not been able to guaranty outcome that eliminates risk of the introduction of the so-called arrangement. >> this deal risks further economic and political human -- humiliation. >> uk will remain single market and follow its rules at least until december 2020, reporting in washington, d.c. i'm ellison barber, fox news. heather: democrats putting 2020 white house hopes on progressives, hawaii's senator brian tweeting in part, quote, we must reject the premise that this is a fight between

moderates and progressives, we are going to nominate a progressive but is this really the right direction democrats need to take their party into if they want to retake the white house? here now to debate is a member of the trump campaign advisory board madis and joel, thank you for joining us this morning, we appreciate i. >> great to be with you. >> madison, i will start with you, is this a good direction for democrats to go? >> you know, heather for the past 2 years we have been criticizing democrats for lacking a message and i think this seems to be response going further left than in the past and obviously this may win somebody a primary for 2020 it's not going to win a general election and i think it all goes back to the economy which as you know has been president trump's strongest accomplishment, that's in fact, allotted by both sides of the aisle, jobs, deregulation, tax cuts, these are the things that people are happy about and have seen effects in own lives and i don't think progressive policies will

produce the same effects. heather: joel, the number of candidates already a large field has been attracted saying that they are considering running for 2020, we can bring up a list of some of those names as you discuss it, 37 in all so far, some very familiar names, cory booker, kamala harris, former vice president joe biden, elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, what do you think about this trend? >> well, heather i've run for office and i have to say that democratic base is very strong and clearly had an impact in this last election cycle but it's not necessarily democrats having a progressive versus moderate fight, progressive agenda is what won the house for democrats this past november and it was a convincing victory by nearly 10 million votes so i think we are going to see that agenda permeate across whichever candidate gets nominated, the question is which candidate is going to be able to not only communicate that but also engage the purple state voters with that agenda and demonstrating how far right president trump's

agenda has been and how it hasn't really helped them in daily lives. heather: madison, back to you, if you take a look at the issues themselves, what issue can republicans concentrate on going ahead towards 2020 that could counteract some of the progressive candidates? >> sure, let's look to jobs, a lot of democrats have been coming forward saying oh, well, president trump hasn't been able to produce more jobs than president obama, we have to look at the composition of those jobs, this is where the effect is coming in on people's everyday lives. we have seen shift from retail and jobs like transportation, warehousing, keep in mind, leisure and retail averaging $50 weekly pay whereas warehousing double that, almost a thousand dollars, construction jobs also up, obama's last two years he only produced 2,000 new construction jobs, president trump produced 47,000 already and in construction jobs bring highest -- second highest weekly

pay around $1,500, this is what people are happy about. heather: joel, just taking a look at the numbers that headed out to shop over thanksgiving holiday, lower-income families for the first time had money in their pockets to spend. >> yeah, well, there's no doubt that there's been upticks in the economy but also looking at a trillion dollar deficit and voters in this past cycle were very concerned about health care, for example, preexisting conditions need to be covered and the president's party trying to take that away and there's a lot of economic security issues that are underlying the general economy and i think democrats exploited that quite frankly in the last election and push an agenda in the house in particular and try to highlight those differences heading in 2020. heather: there would be argument whether they exploited that truthfully, you hear republicans saying they are not trying to take away the previous

conditions, madison. >> i mean, the president and so many republicans have come forward saying, hey, we don't support obamacare because of the economic detriment but we do support protecting preexisting conditions, we don't want it to be broken because people want for the sake of saving obama, everybody, democrats and republicans to come together on health care, on top of that, there's so many other issues here that i feel when we look back at midterms democrats could have done so much better and they did not. on average they produced less wins than the -- >> historic victory. >> 46 seats flipped in the house and nearly 10% victory margin is not a small victory, it's a large one. >> no one said it's a small victory. heather: we are talking about 2020, so we've got a long time to debate it.

madison and joel, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thanks, heather. heather: the time now 20 minutes until the top of the hour, police officer, marine veteran killed in line of duty, now his community, we will tell you how they are honoring his service. >> he came home, followed his dream and then died for his community. heather: horrible, the emotional tributes coming overnight. the biggest online shopping day ever, how to get the best bang for your buck on this cybermonday today is the day you're going to get motivated... get stronger... get closer. start listening today to the world's largest selection of audiobooks on audible. and now, get more. for just $14.95 a month, you'll get a credit a month good for any audiobook, plus two audible originals exclusive titles you can't find anywhere else. if you don't like a book, you can exchange it any time,

heather: welcome back, you're watching "fox & friends first", a community mourning the death of utah police officer, the marine veteran killed in line of duty. police officer david was purposely hit by a car by burglary suspects trying to get

away. >> as much as we prepare, we know the risk of this job, we are not prepared for this. it took us all by surprise. it's very painful. heather: hundreds of officers lining up as his body was moved from the hospital, an honor guard will watch him around the clock until his funeral, survived by his wife and 4-month-old baby. gofundme page has raised more than $20,000 to help family and we have a link on website if you would like to donate. an american soldier killed in combat just identified as sergeant leandro jasso, army ranger lost life in shootout with al-qaeda terrorist in afghanistan on saturday. the washington state native was on his third deployment since enlisting in 2012. officials described jasso as humbled professional who will be deeply missed. he's the second american troop killed in afghanistan just this

month. and our hearts and prayers with those families. let's switch gears back at home, one of the biggest shopping days to have year and you don't have to leave your couch, tracee carrasco from fox business here with more on what is expected to be a historic cybermonday, good morning, tracee. tracee: good morning, heather, the single biggest online shopping day ever, americans are expected to spend a record $7.7 billion on cybermonday, that number is up over a billion dollars from a record set just last year, retailers have already scored major profits this weekend with overall black friday sales projected to total $23 billion alone, that's up about 9% from 2017. a large chunk of that was generated on the internet with shoppers spending over $6 billion on friday over a third of those sales made on cell phones, retailer saw less

foot traffic in stores over the weekend which experts say could result in better sales today. >> stores that have an online store as well, if they don't have a great black friday they are more online. tracee: best deals to look out for today, amazon is slashing $300 off the price of a google chromebook, wal-mart is taking off 100 bucks iphone 8 and target offering 15% thousands of items and lowes and home depot are taking up to 40% off home appliances. shoppers can expect a little more than usual at the checkout because of recent supreme court ruling requiring more companies to collect sales tax on online purchases. heather:i almost forgot about that, the deals need to be deeper. tracee: yes, they do. heather: thank you so much, tracee, a critical runoff

month ago and i think we see that everyone is concerned with this very cycle. heather: neither of the candidates reached 50% in the midterm. >> that's right, under mississippi law a lot of people could run and you have to get at least 50% of the votes cast and no one got that so you have the runoff at of top two contenders and this is what this is all about, so many people don't realize there's an election going on tomorrow so i think the president is going to mississippi, hey, remember what happened with brett kavanaugh, remember how hard it was to get the votes to get him confirmed to supreme court, remember what just happened here and vote accordingly on tuesday. heather: and president trump, this is an area where coming in, stepping in and holding the two rallies, that could benefit hyde smith because he won mississippi, 57% to 47% compare today hillary clinton. >> the president is not taking anything for granted, not just

one stop but two stops to remind people to show up and vote tomorrow and i think that's a very big part, it's about getting the base out certainly as polls indicated and we know the results from the last presidential election, donald trump is very popular in mississippi so trust just making sure that people that voted for donald trump the last go-around come back and vote again tomorrow and again, busy week, we have cybermonday today, we got off of thanksgiving, people are looking toward the holiday. heather: not really thinking about an election. >> and the president showing up in mississippi, i think, is a really trying to overcome those other new cycles going on in that state. heather: if you take a look, we have at least one poll and asks who would you support in runoff election, 50% hyde smith and 36% espy, the specific poll is nbc news poll among likely voters. >> yeah, i think, look, if you are a betting person you would bet that hyde smith would win tomorrow but, again, with the

amount of money that flows in from other states to mississippi and other states in midterms, i think that's causing a lot of sort of underdog candidates to have shot at actually winning and i think that's why, again, the president taking nothing for granted is showing up to combat the out of state flow of funds in favor of mike espy who was a bill clinton official back in the day. heather: circling back to the beginning of the conversation you say this boils down to which candidates supports the president and if you support the president, that's the candidate you vote for? >> well, i think it's really quite simple, the reason we do not have a law -- wall on the southern border is not because of donald trump, it's because the people in congress, we don't have enough votes in congress to pass a budget to get the wall, right, so you want to have the votes on capitol hill for the trump agenda and in mississippi, this is a question of whether or not there would be additional

vote for trump agenda or one additional vote against the trump agenda, and with the brett kavanaugh situation every vote really matters for the future of the united states. heather: we saw that, thank you very much for joining us, let's see what happens. the time now is about 8 minutes until the top of the hour and look at this, a horrific crash leaving a race car driver trapped, actually hanging upside down while the car burst into flames, how he was able to walk away unscathed and the surprising reason one driver gave as to why she took her car on the train track.

heather: welcome back, i will consider running for president, statement from cory booker, tells new jersey advanced media that people all around the country are talking with him about a possible run after visiting 24 states in the run-up to midterms. a new state law will allow him to run for president and senate at the same time by the way. and another possible 2020 candidate but this one on the republican field he challenged president trump for the republican nomination back in 2016 and now outgoing ohio governor john kasich is considering doing it all over again. >> i'm worried about our country so the question for me is, what do i do about this? do i run because i'm determined that i can win or is it important for me to make such a good showing that i can send the

message that can disrupt the political system in this country, this is a serious thought consideration every day. heather: 66-year-old says all options are on the table indicating he could consider a third party or even a bipartisan run. what do you think he's going to do? now time the good, the bad and the ugly, up first the good, mother thanking this good samaritan for saving his choking baby at golden coral in north carolina, rushing from her table to perform maneuver on 7-month-old cally, christ was with us today. now the bad, terrifying crash on the opening lap of a formula 1 race in abu dabi, flipping through the air before landing upside down on the barrier, hanging there as the car caught

fire, trapped for 3 minutes before being rescued, he was abe to walk away unharmed. the woman was 100% sobber, no medical condition impacting decision-making, cited for careless driving but not injured. sometimes you don't follow the gps, this wraps up this hour of fox father or mother first, "fox & friends first" continues right now, bye, bye. [shouting] jillian: monday november 26th, fox news alert, barricades and barb wires up in busiest border crossings in america. rob: demanding to be let in, brand-new threat from president trump to stop chaos at the border, also in the hot seat
