we found, just nothing, forms, bushes, bugs, snakes, spiders. you can see their they are. they have two more. >> this one was hiding to my left and to my right, just got up from the brush and get him before he got away. here i am, the last illegal crosser was laid down and herman had to crawl in like this through bushes and forms. it is just treacherous. >> they believe there were 11 migrants, they got eight of them and expect another large number. we had over 180 migrants total surrendering or being apprehended by them but 12 straight days, 1000 plus apprehensions. we will find out how the to how many they got. the process continues to be overwhelmed.

>> it is about connecting with people. i will be more mindful and respectful of people's personal space. >> i would like to think that perhaps this is a time of realization and self-awareness for joe biden. time will tell. i think that no one should define another person's boundaries period. >> democrats are divided over biden's actions. kamala harris says she believes the victims and comments them for coming forward but tom perez says the former vp needs to understand his warmth may be misinterpreted by some people. >> tim ryan running for

oops, gotta go. hey, wait. come back. >> we are building a wall on the southern border which is absolutely necessary. we will build the wall. that i can tell you. we would build a great wall along the southern border. build that wall. build that wall. build that wall. >> one of his biggest campaign promises and two years later it is still one of the biggest fights of the trump presidency. rob: the debate over whether a wall is the way to address the surge of migrants, border agents say they are completely overwhelmed. tommy fisher is president and ceo of the fisher sand and gravel company who submitted a proposal to build a portion of the wall and joins us to explain.

thank you for your time this one. one can assume if you want to get involved, you back the president and what he is trying to do. is that the case and why? >> that is. anyone who has been to the border knows there's a crisis on both sides and we possess the technology to get this done. when homeland security requested from the dod another 218 miles of strategically placed fence, we wanted to rise to the occasion so we put a price to not only build a fence but the technology to get it done so they know what it will cost and how long it will take and we can do that in under a year. >> the number you put up i'm assuming is a 30 foot steel flat what they are looking for and is going to the ground and how do you do a mile a day? how do you get that done? seems like a tremendously fast pace.

>> the system is so revolutionary, like comparing the iphone to a pay phone and that is what we do. we have always set records with we build bridges, highways, anything we have done, the infrastructure we do, these agents need it. we've demonstrated that to dhs and prove we can do it in 35 mile an hour winds, i will meet with them today and i want to give them as an expert the exact cost that it would cost to build these and the time it would take, these agents needed and needed now. >> i have never built a wall on the southern border. however, when you talk about construction projects everyone can relate to something like that it always seems like things take a little longer than they are supposed to. how did you come up with this timeline and what is the reaction from officials you met with? >> a lot of them are stunned because they've only seen past experience, they struggled in what they built but without technology when dhs was out a few weeks ago they sought and we proved it, now it is just the point when they come through the

bureaucracy, we gave a price for the public to match and see and if they step up and beat us, protect the border from americans and were they to do that, we are behind what we say. rob: there's a lot of arguments, people say the wall won't work and a lot of those reasons don't make sense but one thing that does is a lot of the wall would have to be built in places where it would be interior of the united states border which means the migrants would be on us soil before they got to the wall and could claim asylum. are you worried that whatever they build on the southern border if you get the contract won't be effective unless they change the asylum laws? >> laws are for congress but as a builder we can do both. and state of arizona, california, new mexico, we can build on the border and we have the technology and patents to build flood retaining walls on the river as well.

that eliminates both of those questions, there is border security on the border. rob: you can build on the river. is that what you are saying? >> we can build levees and flood retaining walls in certain areas and get elevated views so it is done all the time, any place, up and down coasts, in the flood areas. >> you had mentioned you met with some officials and you are having further meetings with dhs today. where do you anticipate coming from this today? >> i hope they can see that because they requested 218 miles and we've given that timeframe, completely backed by a warranty and the other big thing is we have technology that can sense tunnels, facial recognition, giving agents a fighting chance

and hopefully when they see that, we are under the budget of what they anticipated and hopefully the president will see this as well. he can cut through bureaucracy and this is an emergency and that needs to be done. there's a lot of congress men and senators that will be there, another demonstration on april 1, '62 show that we mean business, the technology, i really think if you possess the technology we do, as an american i want to do what we can do to protect every american on both sides. jillian: will you come back again? >> we would love to. rob: tommy fisher, thanks so much. 19 minutes after the hour. a long list of charges but not enough to stop lori laughlin's seems like such a friendly lady from basking in the limelight.

where this started. as a state lawmaker i represent the campus of the university of south carolina. i felt it was incumbent on me to look at state law that governs the ridesharing industry and i was surprised to find illuminated signs is optional. as i looked further into this i saw illuminated signs in larger markets being required to put into place by ridesharing companies and a beacon that has the technology that it will give you a call or on your phone at which point you see the vehicle and the sign will turn yellow if your phone is yellow and that is my uber. as i started looking into it, the technology already exists, i said this is something we need to do and i researched it.

it is a bipartisan bill. mike mccaskey, republican representative who cosponsored it with me, we think it is a no-brainer common sense thing to put forward and it is a discussion. >> this is home for you. the ridesharing safety, on the dashboard, the sign needs to be visible 50 feet away. let's return that to the country. i want to look at a couple numbers which intrigued me. how many more people use these ride sharing services, 15% use them. 36% in 2018. that is at 3 person. a lot of them nowadays, younger kids, high school or less. parent to have their kids trying to be smart.

>> the reason this is gone national is this is not a columbia, south carolina issuer university of south carolina issue. this could happen at any university around the country, this is a relatively new industry. with this tragedy i don't want to her to have lost her life in vain. it is incumbent on us as policymakers to look at the law governing these ride shares and see what to do with low hanging fruit to make it safer. this could have been my daughter or anyone out there's family member or friend. and bring awareness to this issue. the bill having illuminated signage is not and of itself the be all end all. there are other safety measures that need to take place, people

need a presidential candidate not going to deny the country, to unite the country and we need to think about that and do that. he is not a loser. he is someone with strong moderate views. rob: a fox news poll talked about this. in the democratic primary it is more important to choose one of these, a candidate who can be donald trump or candidate you can like the most. you see where the motivation is with this next election and it is obvious, hatred for most democrats of donald trump is pretty clear. could this candidate, ryan, be a threat to trump's dominance in the all-important rust belt states? he took a lot of blue states back, he's from eastern ohio, a rust belt guy? >> he is for the green new deal. he has admitted that. he fit the script and pretend the green new deal is really a

job creator and that is what i meant by saying american voters are stupid. can he be donald trump in 2020? that is absolutely true and he can't go against donald trump in 2020, trump passes bills and they are running on anti-trump. i am suspicious of anyone that announces their presidential bid on the view if that is where he is going today. why not go to a news source? rob: i want to ask in the field, does he have a shot? >> absolutely he has a shot. we need someone that will unite the country, not divide our country and bring both party lines together. rob: his position on the green new deal with determine if he is a moderate at all. we will be right back.
