station in the nation, we got last night's numbers, 1400 arrests in total. the problem is they only have capacity for 3000. they have 6000 as of yesterday, nowhere to flip them so they are releasing them to catholic charities. and their running distance 2013, she said it is not like anything she has ever seen. is what she said. >> those numbers have been so different and so high in comparison to any year before that, unbelievable. they are in great numbers. >> as these apprehensions pool in you have secretary neilsen coming down just west of here to el paso where the family unit apprehension is up 1700%. is what she had to say.

>> this is one of if not the biggest crisis this country has faced in a decade but we are not treating it like a massive cat 5 hurricane disaster. >> behind me this is one of the many ports of entry folks here locally are not only feeling the crisis of the apprehensions and the surge for single american families and the concern the president may shut the border down if mexico doesn't do more of their part in stopping the flood that is coming. shannon: thank you so much, appreciate your work out there and thank you. senator lindsey graham says there is proof we need a wall but the wall will work on its own. is calling on congress to fix the broken system. >> i asked the head of border patrol do you need a wall? the president stood firm. he has more money for a wall

than he ever had because he's willing to declare an emergency and there is one and he said if you don't change our laws the law won't work, right now if you step 1 foot into the united states to claim asylum you're entitled to a hearing, we have no place to put you. if you come here with children you can only be held 20 days. we will release you because we have no place to put you. that is being overrun by people from triangle countries because we can't deport you back to those countries. if you don't change that, democrats will help us. shannon: the border agency union says there are 1600 unfilled positions and more money is needed to hire an additional 1900 in order to curb the crisis. much more on this coming up. funeral services being held today for the south carolina college student killed after getting into a car she thought was her who. amanda josephson stabbed by the

action. donald trump thinks he has a bit of leverage here, and the 1998 star report and bill clinton. >> the fact is jerry nadler was on the opposite side of this. the mueller report is much tighter. there is a big difference. the starr report got out of control. now they limited it to the attorney general. it is hypocrisy and a disgrace. >> the attorney general enjoyed some support from james comey who said bill bar deserves the benefit of the doubt but debate continues whether the report will be public. calls by republicans to investigate the fbi, doj and fisa warrant process did not sit well with the former director. >> investigate what? investigate the investigations that were conducted? what would be the crime your investigating? a terrible cycle to start.

he already started at with the locking up of his political opponents including people like me. it would be more of that dangerous step. >> reporter: lindsey graham spoke to this last night as he believes top officials of the fbi and doj wanted hillary clinton to win the 2016 race and promised comey would be testifying about it. shannon: interesting the james comey just referred to himself as the political opponents of donald trump. that is a slip. thank you so much. history made in chicago, electing its first black female and openly gay mayor. lori lightfoot ran a campaign on shutting down government corruption. >> out there tonight a lot of little girls and boys are

littered with you talk to ranchers, i find dead bodies on my way and all the time. and so this is a serious situation in south texas. we've known for years it is a serious situation and it has escalated recently. it is good that it is getting the attention it needs. >> what would that serious action be? you heard kirstjen and saying she would compare this to the response needed following a hurricane or natural disaster. >> on top of that the cartels controlling the other side of the border should be treated like other hostile actors at the border. they are not kind, they do not have the best intentions in mind for the nation, our people, migrants they are bringing to the border. customs and border patrol released a video of them

dropping some young girls into razor wire so our border patrol agents would leave their post, attend to them for care and funnel drugs and people through the border. this is the kind of callous regard for human life a have. shannon: when you talk about dealing with those individuals and treating them as hostile actors do you mean we need additional military at the border? >> we need infrastructure, immigration judges, customs and border patrol are overwhelmed, they don't have the resources or manpower. i would be for more military at the border if that is what it took to stem the tide of what these cartels are doing. heather: the democratic presidential candidates have their proposals coming forward. we know one of them, the first one so far has been released.

julian castro, some of the element in his immigration plan would change illegal border crossings, criminal violation to a civil one, wasteful border wall construction, pathway to citizenship for dreamers and it would increase the number of refugees allowed in the us, talking about increasing the number of refugees when you are telling us we have uncontrollable amount of people crossing the border right now. >> we do. they are claiming asylum but 90% of them are coming for economic reasons which is understandable but the thing is the way we heal the world isn't through immigration. we cannot -- talks with people who are persecuted, been around the world, people who live in abject poverty, we cannot integrate half the world's population into our country to solve the problem. the founders gave us a good prescription for this, to be the city on the hill. if these nations live by the principles this nation was founded upon we would see the

same prosperity. shannon: with the president is talking about in terms of cutting off all funding, all laid to several of these countries that all these people are fleeing, would that work? providing them aid doesn't work so far. >> it is one of the tools in the bag. for many years we continued to give countries aid the don't have our best intentions. why are we providing the made whether it is iran or countries who are not helping us in this situation which is a serious situation. we had some people in our district and the border on a completely separate issue but the conversation went toward they have clients, a daughter and husband taken by cartels and held forensic. we have landowners on the border continually told to stay off their own property because

but back here in 2019, democratic candidates talking about total institutional reform, changing the electoral college, lowering the voting age. some of these ideas, changing the constitution. shannon: wildly unpopular among some folks was look at this small sibling of social media reaction, johnny says the electoral college is the most democratic thing you can do, evening the playing field for the few despite the many. democrats make no missense. that is what is happening when you're better at pandering than history. donald trump famously flip-flopped on this issue before he ran for president, he said he did not support the electoral college. after he ran and saw how challenging it was to run he supported now. >> it shows the importance of candidates, to go out and campaign. >> the president said it was easier to run if we had a

positive vote. to california and new york instead of having to go to iowa and smaller states and the presidential election, and a completely different take, joe biden versus brett kavanaugh. >> he was one of the supreme court justices multi-vocal critics. even went to the senate to work with christine ford and live tweeted it, i believe doctor christine ford because there is the notion that we should believe all women. there was a different take with joe biden. she tweeted this saying in part i respect lindsay forest's decision to share her story.

you must pay attention to it. just as we must believe women that decide to come forward we cannot assume all women's experiences are the same. social media quick to point out the difference. mark tweets i was wondering if i was the only one who noticed the huge hypocrisy. this is further proof the rules apply when the liberals say they apply. the allegations are very different. we are talking sexual in nature, the others, creepy touching, her opinions on both men are extremely different. did she have a response? has she responded her critics? a friend of joe biden's, she believes we should listen to all women but she has taken a much softer approach to joe biden as she did to brett kavanaugh. heather: we will see what comes of all of it. 27 minutes after the top of the hour. colorado given the green light to the red flag on law. one sheriff is firing back.

a potential threat but one of colorado's sheriffs is taking a stand. he refuses to enforce it claiming it violate citizens constitutional rights to protect themselves. he is even willing to go to jail over it. joining us is sheriff steve raines. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. if you could tell us what would make this law specifically in colorado so different from others? >> this red flag law is different from every other state that passed it in that a person who is going to have a red flag order placed against them doesn't get a chance to appear in court. the person having their guns taken away won't find out if the process has occurred until law enforcement shows up to serve the order and take his weapons.

heather: they could appear at the second court hearing which would have to be held within 14 days, right? >> that is correct. at the second hearing the same person would have to present a higher level of evidence to prove they were okay to own their weapon at significant risk to themselves or others. the initial hearing requires preponderance of evidence against the person. the second one is clear and convincing evidence they are not a significant risk. heather: as we continue our conversation let's bring up this information where we can say right now there are 14 states and dc that have imposed these red flag laws. they are proposed in another 21 states. what are the potential problems you see happening specifically with the one in colorado talking about people not having a chance to have this first initial court hearing before law enforcement comes in and takes these guns? >> people routinely buy firearms to protect themselves and their

homes. having a law enforcement officer come in the middle of the night to serve one of these orders, you can see potential for a violent encounter that could occur by law enforcement trying to take the right approach and going and carrying out one of these orders. it is more a flagrant attack on our constitution. we are making this about the second amendment issue but truly this is an attack on the fourth, fifth and 14th amendments, that is due process turned upside down in this particular bill. it puts the onus on the innocent person to prove they are innocent. they are guilty until proven innocent and firearms can be taken away. 364 days, they get one chance of appeal in that timeframe after those initial two hearings. that is not what our country was

founded on. heather: you are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty and this reverses that. 33 colorado counties declared themselves sanctuary from the red flag gun law including your county as well. what does that mean? what would that entailed? >> more of a symbolic measure telling legislators at the capital that we don't agree with this law. my commissioners have reaffirmed they don't want budgetary dollars spent on enforcing an unconstitutional law and they are leaving it up to me to decide if that law is unconstitutional. you know where i stand on that issue. they are standing shoulder to shoulder with me and understand the predicament our legislature has put us in, violate a citizens constitutional rights. heather: you are willing to go

to jail to stand up for that. >> that is not where i would want to be. that is not my first method of trying to figure out how to resolve this issue but that is a method that would create standing in the courts and if that is what is required that is what i will do. i would much rather violate a court order than someone's constitutional right. we need to focus on mental health and that is what this bill sorely misses and that is unfortunate. we are kicking the can down the road. heather: we don't care a lot about the mental health in these situations until after the fact and then it seems to disappear and we go back to this. thank you so much for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me on. heather: have a good day. 20 minutes until the top of the hour. either too many democrats running for president in 2020?

heather: 13 democrats have declared a run for the white house in 2020 but could there already be too many? politico claim science says yes and our brains are not wired to handle that many choices, tilting the scales in favor of donald trump. here to debate is jonathan harris and former trump data director matt brainard. thank you for joining us, appreciate it. as we begin let's bring up the list of the democratic presidential hopefuls. as we said, there are 13 and we

had one that has launched an exploratory committee. you say the science is wrong. >> they are trying to fly an abstract scientific theory to something the can't afford to the complexities of the democratic primary. saying there are too many choices. we are not at the point people are making up mind up over candidates. the fundraising phase, by the time people do start making up their minds, political darwinism, aluminate the unfit candidates who countries me, couldn't build organizations, had a horrible gaffe or something was discovered in their history. having a lot of candidates is a great thing. number one, the primary is harder meaning by the time the person gets to be the nominee who secures the nomination, there is more valid test and the trump campaign face a large field that forced us to campaign harder, smarter, to adapt and made it so much better fighting state after state. the second thing is, establishment consultants.

a new talent to rise, deputy directors, that brings new energy and new visions of the party. heather: the gop presidential candidates, take a look at that as well. going into the debate there were a total of 16 gop candidates at that point. what do you say about this in terms of the science of all this? >> there were 16 candidates on the gop side, democrats are taking a page from the gop playbook and it -- i would disagree, we know that we had that wide-field on the right-hand took the white house through the electoral college. the more people you have running makes it also more difficult for the other side to target one individual. we had roughly five candidates

running in 2016, no one knew hillary clinton would be the front runner. it was easy to sharpen the attack against one particular person. heather: did it matter there were a lot of other candidates or if there's already the cinderella or chosen one? at this point in terms of the chosen one i will stick with you. if you look at polling numbers they are all polling below 10%. >> right. a lot has to do with the width of the field and the amount of people running, breaking it down among so many different people. we have donald trump's approval rating is 39%. running against that is a good thing. when you have diversity of ideas on the other side it will have a similar effect for the gop. >> what do you think of that? >> i agree with the general idea. the interest suggests the democratic party might need to do something about this problem.

even if the science is right it will create not merely the problem it does if the dnc chooses the winner. that is going to backfire. that will sit back and let the process run and have a nominee. and a strong candidate. heather: you wonder if they learned that last time around. >> exactly. >> with hillary clinton as the assumed front runner, made it so bernie sanders or donald trump could sharpen their attacks on her whereas it was broken down with different ideas. bernie sanders running as a democratic socialist, kamala harris making it clear she is not a socialist but considers herself a progressive democrat. it will be hard for donald trump to target any one person specifically.
