3:02 am
you could see the wrap around his arm. he was shot in the hand. shot and killed lindsey kay. listen to what happened next here. iraq combat vernal oscar stuart was in the congregation and actually went after the gunman here. he told the daily caller his military training kicked in. he says i knew i had to be within five feet of thinks this guy so his rifle couldn't get to me. so i ran immediately toward him and yelled at loud as i could. and he was scared. i scared the hell out of him. stuart said he chased the gunman all the way out to the car and that's when border patrol agent jonathan morales ran outside to help and fired off several rounds as the suspect sped off. >> oscar stuart. a former soldier jumped into action. he tried to tackle down the gunman and jonathan pursued him and was able to discharge his web. >> some incredible stories
3:03 am
of heroism coming out. he also spoke about the comfort be phone call he received from president trump. >> he shared with me condolences on behalf of the united states of america. he was so comforting. i'm really grateful to our president for taking the time and making that effort to share with us his consolation and comforts. >> probably the most important part of his talk, he said that his community will stand tall and terrorism will not take us down. steve, brian, ainsley? receive receive saud.>> after ot and the bullet holes near her heart, there he is right there. oscar stuart, lori gilbert kay was shot near the heart.
3:04 am
he and apparently the story is that she had jumped in front of the rabbi and the rabbi said in my own interpretation lori took a bullet for all of us. but the army vet started the cpr on her. and then doctor walked over and realized he needed some help, started working on the woman. did not realize it was his wife until there they are right there. then looked up at her face and he passed out. >> that's right. the rabbi thanked the president and said he called him -- that personal call that she was talking about stayed on the phone 10 to 15 minutes. he said if that gun had not jammed, it would have been a blood bath. he said he watched his young little granddaughter was playing close to where he was shot. he said i wish my granddaughter hadn't seen that she could see him in the cast. he lifted his hands up with the gun and blew off one of his index fingers and he had to have surgery after that to save the other index
3:05 am
finger. brian: shooter was inspired by what happened in new zealand and inspired about what happened in pittsburgh no. mystery because he wrote a long manifesto as if he is an important person about what really was going through his mind. he also in the manifesto was critical of the president for being antiwhite. meanwhile goldstein amazingly had a message and this is what he told the congregation right after the shooting. let's listen. >> i was frozen in time. i grabbed the prayer shawl, wrapped my arm, my fingers with it. i'm bleeding all over the place. my congregation was standing outside and i said i have got to do something. i got up on a chair right there. and i looked at our congregation and i said. we are a jewish nation that will stand tall. we will not let anything or anything take us down.
3:06 am
terrorism like this will not take us down. steve: just a terrible story. brian: i think all churches and synagogues and mosques, you have to have somebody in there that's armed these days. everyone is pointed towards the altar or whatever you worship. under a are sitting ducks for slaughter and sadly all these volunteers show up and do great things in the congregation whether they're deacons or whether they are collections, i know you guys volunteer in the church, there is cops and detectives and fbi agents who all attend church. you have to go ready to defend yourself. ready to defend the congregation who are going there to -- for solace. instead they have got to make sure they are not becoming the next victim. ainsley: go to big churches here in the city. you have to have your bag checked go through security and metal detectors can you believe this the scfertion now. my grandparents would roll over in their grave. you can't go to church without worrying now.
3:07 am
steve: unbelievable. brian: they don't want to get shot back at. they want to slaughter you. they don't want to get in a fight. they want to kill. they have to know wherever they are going to go they are going to get shot if they try it maybe it will discourage the next one. steve: we will keep you posted on that. take you out to california later on a lot of attention was brought to it maria had her show, sunday morning futures down at the all right and "60 minutes" went to the border as well. and it is very clear folks experts down there fames at this point. so many families are going down there to jr. to put them. realize told back in home country if you step foot in the united states because they don't have any place to put you and the court systems are so overburdened you will essentially get out of jail free. ainsley: maria was talking to the border patrol agents down there.
3:08 am
takely aaron hold chief in the sector. they are saying 90% are from the three central american country us. and he said most of them are seeking asylum but they don't indicate that they are scared to go back to be returned to their country. they are saying they are here because they want a better opportunity. brian: until you see more and more democrats from cory booker, from dick durbin said stuff in the past that there is a crisis at the border. any sober person has to realize there is a crisis at the border. when "60 minutes" shows a crisis at the border. let off th drugs and gangs. we can't be a sosh three countries into our country. not a matter of open hearts or closed hearts a matter of legitimately being capable of absorbing another nation over the people in oneed in our nation or people who look like suckers now who are actually trying to get here in the right way. aaron hall came on as border patrol sector chief and talked about how they are getting in.
3:09 am
>> those people realize that as long as they're being apprehended by us they are still likely to be released on their own recognizance. that's because the country the u.s. government as a whole does not have the detention and removal ability to hold them in custody until the i do tension hearing u it's a huge draw to enter this country i will really. a lot of people refer to these units as asylum seekers. not the case. most of those that we encounter when they are caught at this step in the process, they don't indicate fear of return. they indicate they want better opportunity. steve: something that i didn't realize and they talked about last night on "60 minutes" when you see those inflatable boats where they are build it migrants and smowg glories bring them across. every person on that boat is paying between 3,000 and $9,000. could be an aactuality, a child, could be anybody. where is that money going? directly to the cartels. we will talk to the acting ice director live on this program 90 minutes from

right now because it is a desperate situation. brian: president of the united states is going to see nancy pelosi and schumer. president saying i'm not doing one thing on infrastructure until we do something on the border quickly. we are not talking about more money. we are talking about change the laws. main story i found fascinating on the front page of the "new york times" peter baker a fair fair reporter for the "times" legitimate relationship between vice president biden and the president of the united states. they are very respectful. however, when it came to 2016 and 2020 a lot of things now make sense. on why joe biden didn't run. ainsley: this is what the article said. over the course of weekly lunches he gently pressed mr. biden on his thinking. eventually the president arranged for his own strategist to deliver a daunting assessment of the odds against a race. mr. biden got the message. the president was not encouraging, he later acknowledged. the question now as mr. biden kicks off the campaign that mr. obama
3:11 am
helped talk him out of four years ago is whether he can parlay his service to the last democratic president into his own successful quest. steve: who is the logical obama heir? president obama is still very popular in democratic circles because joe biden is going to position himself as that but then you hear talk about mayor pete buttigieg or beto and they go well he is the knew obama. so what's it going to be? the heir to the obama throne, you know, the presidency. joe biden who was at for eight years or a new guy? brian: does the president know even though he loves joe biden that he is not capable of being president. he says he would sit in a room and biden would be unguided missile in conversations take things on a tangent. james comey described how biden would take meetings off track ever time they were together. gates, whoots secretary of defense for a while says the vice president has been wrong on every single
3:12 am
foreign policy decision over the last four decades and david plouffe was the one who was brought in by obama to explain to joe biden you can't win in 2016. the question is there is radio silence now in 2020. what does president obama know that we're all about to find out? ainsley: joe biden probably just being respectful of the president at the time who thought that hillary clinton, according to this article had a better chance of wishing. this go around he is saying i don't have to listen to president obama or anyone else i get to make my own decisions. steve: plus, at the time he was grieving the loss of his son. ainsley: they weren't sure if if he had the momen momentumo go on the campaign trail. carley: update to tragic story here. two of the four victims are identified overnight in a deadly crane collapse in seattle. seattle specific university freshman was inside one of the cars crushed by the crane. the school says she was an aspiring nurse. local media identifies a second victim as marine and

steve: 2020 presidential candidate democrat kamala harris calling for a ban on right-to-work laws across the country. our next guest says it will actually hurt workers even more. mark is the president of the national right-to-work committee he joins us now live from our nation's capital. marc, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. thanks for talking about this topic. it's an important one. steve: absolutely. the irony is nobody in the country is prohibited from joining a union. >> that's right. in the 27 states that have right-to-work laws and 23 stays that don't. anyone can join a union. participate in a union and be in a union if they want to. no one is stopped from doing that. even in the states with right-to-work laws. steve: what do you think she is talking about. >> talking about power for union officials. not for workers but union officials. certainly ms. harris is interested in the endorsement of these major unions that play a really
3:19 am
big part of the democratic primary process. in 2008 hillary clinton got 13 barack obama got 11. these are the big prize of the process so far and that is the money and power that comes with organized labor's endorsement. steve: sure. the endorsements aren't going to come until closer to the convention, right? >> you know, in 2008 i was looking back at that. and some of those endorsements came a year early, six months early liberation 8 months early. it's a big contest. with all these people how many do we have now 20? 21? we will try to one-up each candidate to get big labor to support them. steve: mark, with so many states being right-to-work states, how many impactful are the labor unions in politics these days? you hear it's not mandatory in every state that you have got to join. so the money to the coffer is not as great as it used to be. what about the influence? >> yeah. well, their political influence is really quite strong. if you have the privilege to force someone to pay dues or
3:20 am
fees to you for the privilege of working in america that power is pretty dramatic. 23 states where workers can be compelled and lose their jobs if they don't pay union dues union power is significant. sister organization of ours put out a research paper that said big alicia spent over $2 billion in the last election cycle. that's a lot of money and tends to go to one party. that's why ms. harris and others, bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have all talked about forcing workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment against union officials in washington, d.c. and across the country. steve: interesting stuff, just getting started. mark mix, we thank you for joining us live from d.c. thank you, sir. >> pleasure, steve, thank you. steve: 6:20 in new york city. a university revoking a research invitation for professor jordan peterson, an air force vet and student at the university says professor petersen is why he applied there that student that guy right there, joins us live next. ♪ ♪

peterson was going to be joining us on the campus. when they rescinded his i invitation. i was offended this culture not only exists in the u.s. but elsewhere as well. brian: youtube speeches have made him a rock star with many people. talks about personal responsibility. not making excuses and taking control of your life. for you, you had a difficult life growing up. can you describe it briefly? >> yeah. yeah. i was born to a drug addicted mother in los angeles. spent my childhood in and out of foster homes and yeah went through a series of struggles and challenges in my life and then later joined the air force and sort of found a path to success. ainsley: how did you connect to jordan peterson? how did he inspire you? >> jordan peterson has a way of describing the struggles of life in a way that make it all sound worth it. i think a lot of young people are experiencing the sort of malaise like what you will what is this all for even high achievers. jordan peterson tells to you get your act together and
3:27 am
work hard and be responsible and building is of your life. brian: what is so bad about that message? why does he get such push back why would cambridge try to rationalize rescinding that fellowship? >> i think one reason jordan peterson's critics because he dislikes identity politics. he doesn't like people making excuses for the struggles they are experiencing. he tells them to take responsibility for yourself and that no one is going to hold your hand. it's up to you to find your own way. ainsley: he calls himself the professor against political correctness. we have a statement from cambridge university from student union he says it's a political act to associate the university with an academic work through authors which legitimate figures such as peterson. his work and views are not representative of the student body and as such we do not see his visit as a valuable conviction to the universitcontribution to theunit works in opposition to the principles of the university. do they ban anyone who is political or just ones who
3:28 am
they disagree with. >> just ones who they disagree with. we have political figures on the campus all the time. when one of those figures is someone that they oppose, then they are willing to disinvite them. brian: imagine taking personal responsibility and not finding excuses and not play placing blame on people for your lot in life. what a horrible message. meanwhile, has anybody else, rob, agree with you that you talked to? talk to your classmates or you feel like an island at cambridge? >> no, not at all. after i read that op-ed, the reaction has been very interesting because his critics have been very vocal in public, saying they disagree with me, they disagree with jordan peterson. the number of positive responses have outweighed that more private and quiet. i have received at love messages and emails and and people taking me aside i like dr. peterson and i appreciate you putting your neck on the line for this. they are afraid of this very

. brian: 28 minutes before the top of the hour. fox news alert. stories of heroism emerging everywhere after a deadly attack on a california synagogue. >> there was off duty agent officer hollers is recently discovered his jewish roots. he called this his house of worship. he worked for the border patrol. please arm yourself when we are here we never know when we will need it. as soon as the gun jammed and as soon as the shouting was going on he jumped up in pursuit. oscar stuart, a former soldier, jumped into action. he tried to tackle down the gunman. ainsley: the off duty border agent, the combat veteran jumping into action when the gunman opened fire inside the place of worship. also the lady to died lori gilbert kay she stood in
3:34 am
front of the rabbi and the rabbi said saving his life. steve: let's bring in dan bongino former secret service agent and author of spy gate the attempt the somebody a dodge of donald j. trump. good to see you. >> good to see you all. steve: you hear these stories and regarding the army vet who was in the congregation when the shooting started, as soon as the shooting started. he stopped and ran around towards the gunman. he was asked by the "l.a. times" why he said i don't know i think it might have been the hand of god. nonetheless, he saved a lot of lives. >> you know, steve, when i spend my time in federal and local law enforcement i ran into brave men and women like this who made similar type decisions. it led me to the conclusion that the real bravery comes with police officers and military and our founders. the day they sware i swear in ad
3:35 am
raise their right hand. do you know why, steve? they are agreeing to train to do. this then when this moment god forbid happens and you are in this red zone and happens to you you have heroes like these gentlemen who just do it and can't explain why. i can. i can explain why they made that decision years ago to be the bravest, the boldest among us and raise their right hand and swore in and trained to do exactly what they did when the horror came their way. brian: dan, don't you agree that it's up for these charges, synagogues and mosques to be safe you have got to go to -- people like you who are going have to be armed and maybe you get an organization that breaks down who is going to the 9:00 mass the former retired cop or the retired fbi agent? and you break it up that way? churches are made of volunteers why can't the security be volunteers. >> brian, you are doing a
3:36 am
real public service by asking this question, i mean that in my church specifically they do just that. there are a number of police officers and federal agents, me being one of them. we know exactly hot other people are inside the church. it's not a formal security force by any means, and, by the way, it's sad we have to have this conversation. really suspects awful that in a place of worship where people go to celebrate their love of jesus christ or whatever faith you may be that we have to have this conversation it's awful. may i add one thing here, churches from my security background are uniquely vulnerable. synagogues, mosques and elsewhere. two specific reasons, brian. most people come in the back of the church. there is one specific way to get. in you don't come in where the altar is, you come in from the back. everybody in a panic situation always goes to where they came in. it takes a while to figure out that there is another way out. but, secondly, brim. this is important. in a place of worship everybody's attention is one
3:37 am
direction up front where the altar is that's not the case in a mall or deli or anywhere else. when everyone's attention up front gives someone with malicious inner tent a unique opportunity to take advantage of that and gives them a few seconds to do their nasty, disgusting, horrific deeds. ainsley: maria bartiromo and "60 minutes" were down at the border. on "60 minutes" out rio grand valley sector patrol chief had an interesting comment about where their resources are going. they are not able to really do their jobs for this reason. listen. >> 40% of my workforce right now is dead kateed to the care and feeding, to the hostile watch. that takes that 40% away from border security mission. >> they are making formula and bringing juice? there is a pile of diapers

right there. >> that's what we have to do. ainsley: taking away from being able to protect at the border. your reaction? >> ainsley, it makes all of the people, just months ago by the way. network. basically is nothing to see here, folks. think about it, i live in a medium sized town north of palm beach county in florida. we had five times the number of total people in my entire town show up last month with children, some who needed serious medical help. our border patrol agents are brave. these are valiant men and women. let's be crystal clear on that. i think everybody here knows that we are not child care experts. this isn't a hospital. we don't have the ability. we simply don't have the assets to do what this endless flow of people coming here -- we don't have
3:39 am
the to do it. steve: tell us how those people came to martin county? >> we have 23,000, and last month 46,000 showing up. i'm sorry. i'm not suggesting martin county alone. severe sumzero sum. you can't clone them and put them in another place as well. brian: dan, here is the amazing thing. sadly, some type of humanitarian problem in these facilities because they are overrun. border patrol aren't healthcare, day care experts and they are immediately going to get blamed and blame the administration. this administration has had a siren for an emergency saying there is emergency there for two years. my hope is people like thomas freidman the "new york times" saying we need a wall there is a catastrophe at our border people understand we have to get together and solve this problem. jeh johnson sat on our couch
3:40 am
and said republicans helped him when he needed help with the border. democrats are not helping this president. will. >> thomas freidman from the "new york times" and jeh johnson moment was a big shift. i'm hoping responsible democrats, if there are any left, start to pick up on this that something has to be done. steve: something has to give. dan bongino joining us from florida. sir, thank you very much. have a good week. ainsley: carley is here with us for the headlines. carley: listen to this. hours after being drafted by the new york giants a college football standout is shot and his roommate killed. corey valentine is recovering at kansas hospital after the shooting outside a house party. his teammate killed. unclear how the violence unfolded the giants released a statement saying they spoke to corey and are playing for his recovery. pete buttigieg is meeting with al sharpton in new york city today. of the two will dine at a

4:01 am
froze when the gunman pointed the barrel at him. >> there is a young man standing with a rifle pointing right at me. and i looked at him. he had sunglasses on. i couldn't see his eyes. i couldn't see his soul. >> he was shot in the hand. the gunman killed 60-year-old lori kaye and injured two other people. this is what happened next. the rabbi goldstein says it appears that the suspect's rifle jammed and in that moment, iraq combat veteran oscar stuart started running toward the suspect. he told the daily caller his military instincts just kicked. in he says the gunman dropped his weapon, turned and ran. and that caused the gunman to make a run for it possibly saving a lot of lives. >> if i saved a life. save a million lives. i'm happy that i did that. >> stuart said he chased the
4:02 am
gunman all the way out to his car and that's when border patrol agent jonathan morals ran outside as well to help and he fired several rounds at the suspect as the suspect took off. now, rabbi goldstein also thanked the president for making a phone call that gave him some great comfort. >> he shared with me condolences on behalf of the united states of america. so comforting that i'm really grateful to our president taking the time and making that effort to share with us his purpose comfot and consolation. >> stand tall terrorism will not take us down. steve: rabbi made those comments yesterday in the southern california area. the president just about five minutes ago tweeted this. ainsley: he said i spoke at length yesterday to rabbi goldstein where i extended
4:03 am
my warmest con doll lances to him and all affected by the shooting in california. what a great guy. he had at least one finger blown off, and all he wanted to do was help others. very special. he had his hand bandaged. lost one of his fingers. able to save the finger on the other hand. brian: woman jump up she sadly would lose her life right after. when goldstein talked about what took place there and who stood up and took action. >> there was a border patrol off duty agent, mr. jonathan morales who recently discovered his jewish roots. he felt this house of worship. many times you work for the border patrol. please arm yourself when you are here. we never know when we will need it. as soon as the gun jammed, and as soon as the shouting was going on, he jumped up in pursuit.
4:04 am
oscar stuart, a former soldier jumped into action. he tried to tackle down the gunman. steve: two men at the right place at a terrible time. jonathan morales off duty border patrol agent he was the fellow who was able, to i think, shoot a total of four bullets into the guy's honda as he was escaping. oscar stuart was the 51-year-old army vet who was there. there he is right there. when the shots started. he, just like everybody else, ran to the exits but then made a split second decision. turned around. doesn't know why. said it could have been the hand of god. ran to the lobby and saw the shooter and from his military background he knew he had to be been five feet of him because the guy had a rifle. got right up to him and hollering at him so loud he squeezed off two more shots and he said some other things next thing you know the guy just takes off. given the fact that the gun
4:05 am
also miraculously jammed between the two things. a lot of lives were saved. ainsley: that is incredible that the gun jammed at that point in time. three people were injured. one lady did lose her life. she was 60 years old. lori gilbert kaye and you had said this in the first hour. there is a picture of her. her husband is a doctor. and he didn't realize that she had been shot. she apparently jumped up to save the life ofheabbi and she was shot and her husband came over to give cpr to her and realized it was his wife and he actually fainted. brian: we know the 19-year-old was inspired by the shooting in pittsburgh and new zealand. so something has got to stop here. meanwhile five minutes after the top of the hour. same statements applies to what's happening at our southern border. they estimate we have already had 450,000 people come across our border this year and we are far from over. we are not even in to may yet. this is indeed a crisis. liberal columnist of the "new york times" thomas freidman pointed out. as cory booker has pointed out. as democrats are beginning
4:06 am
to see and even "60 minutes" did a feature last night. there is no doubt about it you cannot say the president exaggerating anything. can you say you are late to the party. but so far things have to stop. the president over the weekend said this is like disney world. come to the border put a foot in and get to stay. about a thousand a week we are letting out into the infrastructure. into the interior of our country. kevikevin mcaleenan talked about who is making a profit off all this. >> if you come as a family or unaccompanied child you will be allowed to stay and released because our court system is so backlogged. even if there is no right to stay in the just they know if they come they will be let out the back door. >> that's exactly right. smugglers are advertising that directly in their hometowns. steve: we have heard they are advertising directly. they are putting the word out on social media and things like that.

the way the rules are in the united states this is the time to act. seeing the largest wave of illegals in a decade. going to be talking to the acting ice director matthew albence 7:30 live eastern time. the pope sent half a million dollars from the peter's pence fund to 17 parishes in mexico to help with the migrant crisis. said, you know, the united states is not helping. they are trying to make it as hard as possible to get. in so the pope has sent half a million dollars to help the migrants as they stay in mexico. brian: real quick on that. the president of the united states is going to have nancy pelosi and chuck schumer in the white house. want to do infrastructure. you have to help me out with three major laws. flip them, rerepatriot people. do the same thing with the central americans. ainsley: same issue when many of you went to the polls in 2016. many issue in 2020.
4:08 am
numbers continual continue to crease like this. brad parscale the campaign manager for president trump is talking about how situations like this are really alerting all of us and making us think how we are going to vote in 2020. he says many of these states, these democratic states could flip as a result. listen. >> obviously we have to go back and win michigan and wisconsin. planning on being in minnesota very soon. i think new mexico is in play in 20206789 i think new hampshire. i think we continue to grow the map. i think nevada. you know, even colorado. so, those are states we did not win in 2016. and i think are open for 2020. every single metrics we are looking at even bigger, badder than we were in 2016. and this time we are not out there trying to prove we can do something. the president has proved he has done it now he has to deliver what he has done. steve: what he is saying is those were states that were
4:09 am
so close that trump lost them by a number of thousands of votes. given the good economy and witwhat the president has done over the last close to four years he feels given the data driven machine that the trump people have created, which is extraordinary, they could actually one some of those states they didn't win last time. brian: $150 million. 95% of the donations are small donations. could get up to a billion he believes. he says he has 40 to 50 million direct contacts with people. he has cell phones when they show up at rallies. one thing they're miss something healthcare. gallup did a poll. overwhelmingly number one issue. nothing legitimate that the administration can say they have done on healthcare and nothing the democrats can say they have done to fix healthcare. people of the united states are going well, who is helping me? steve: the president did say he was going to come up with a better plan after the election so essentially they kicked it over the election
4:10 am
and without a doubt it's going to be the number one issue. that's how the democrats won in 2018. but keep in mind the democrats won without a plan themselves. all they said was republicans are going to destroy your plan. and it worked. ainsley: you can ask yourself are you better off now than you were before? many of you getting more back in your taxes. tax day was a few weeks ago. and you are getting checks back. so, the economy is really great. we saw what happened with the stock market last week. what's going to be the biggest issue? is it healthcare or is it the economy for you? or immigration? brian: 10 minutes after the hour. carley shimkus big issue is she wants to read the news and we won't let her. carley: you are right about that. u.s. service member died in noncombat incident in northern syria. the military has not released any additional information. this is at least the fourth american serving in the middle east to be killed in a noncombat incident in the last two weeks alone.

4:43 am
as we have been maintaining for a better part of a year if not longer there is an absolute crisis at the border. not just a humanitarian crisis. not just a border security crisis. also a public safety and national security crisis. steve: sure. let's take a look at some of the numbers, matthew. the number of false claims of family units between october 2018 and march of to 192700 migrants said they were part of a family but weren't. when you look at it 62% of southwest border apprehensions involve family units or unaccompanied children who were apprehended. that's because the folks in these other countries who are looking for a better life or are trying to get to the united states they know how our laws work. right? >> they do. and if they don't, the smugglers are coaching them on thousand manipulate our laws. that's why what we're currently doing is surging resources from homeland security investigations to the border. we're sending human trafficking experts, document fraud experts. forensic interviewers.
4:44 am
victim assistance specialists because our first and primary goal is the safety and security of these children. these children are being victimized. we know they are being trafficked. we know they are being recycled and sent back across the border numerous times by cartels to be utilized again and placed with a nonrelative adult just so that adult can be released because they know we can't hold them. these are the loopholes that we have talked about. we have asked congress to make changes and they refused to do so at this point. ainsley: after watching maria's interview over the weekend my heart broke when i saw those two little girls. i think they were age 6 and 10. mom was going to go get some food and never came back and just left the girls. what happens? what does our country do in those situations? where do the girls go? >> well, those children, unfortunately will be processed by cbp and placed with health and human services. health and human services will work to find a sponsor for these individuals glt country. a lot of times other family

just to deal with these crush of bodies that are coming in and process them. to the detriment of public safety in the country. those officers that ordinarily would be out there arresting criminals, arresting gang members, arresting public safety threats out there on the street, they are now at the border el paso and rgv processing families and releasing them. steve: sure. matthew, you just mentioned ice. what's your message to the politicians in this country who have suggested over the last number of months abolish ice because those jobs can be done by somebody else? they really can't. only ice agents have the expertise and training to enforce the immigration laws of this country. country. you cannot have any discussion about border security if you are talking about doing away with the interior enforcement component. as long as there is no interior enforcement component to its immigration enforcement, you will never have border security. you will always have that pull factor. individuals that want to come to this country

able to tell their real age if it's not truthful? >> again, a lot of these individuals have documents. a lot are fraudulent. we work with the foreign gompletsment asubstantial shae offices in northern triangle help us work on these cases. we have very trained interviewers are able to ferret out this information from them. so we will attack it from all fronts. we are also not going after those individuals. there is organizations supplying these documents. there is organizations bringing these people to the border. guides them across. we will attack these organizations both domestically and internationally. steve: good. matthew, over the last couple of weeks we have heard about how because your facilities at our southern border is completely maxed out. they are dropping people out by the thousands at bus depots and different places. what can you tell the communities that are, you know, suddenly flooded with a number of people who are in this country illegally but nonetheless the government has placed them in their towns? what they can expect in the future? >> well, until congress
4:49 am
changes the laws, and fixes these loopholes, and prevents us from being able to detain these individuals, detain these families together, allow them to have their due process in accelerated fashion and remove them at the end of that process if so ordered by a judge or release them if so ordered by a judge, we will continue to have this problem. congress has yet to fund at a level we need for detention. they have yet to fund at the level we need for transportation. what i would say to you is this is not limited to the border. people think this is just a border security issue. it's not. these individuals are not staying at the border. they may be there for a day or two while they are waiting for transit. they are coming to every community in this country. brian: gotcha. matthew albence, thank you so much. hope you get the job. >> thanks for having me. brian: meanwhile straight ahead a teenager didn't have a date for a prom. she wasn't alone. her grandfather stepped in and became her knight in shining armor. steve: their story going viral. as can you see they are live and next. ♪ always a good time ♪ oh, oh ♪

5:04 am
knew where it was. could obtain it. with the rabbi also said, if the morales had been in the lobby with the firearm, he would have neutralized that gunman in the lobby before ever even entering the sanctuary. as i was understanding and talking to oscar stuart, that is literally as soon as this guy comes in, he had army vest on, tac gear, not body armor, loaded with several different magazines. he stepped inside and started firing. luckily he didn't get into the sanctuary where hundreds were. that is where firing, at least shots were fired right at the intersection of the lobby and sanctuary per se. maybe in the future some people will have armed individuals. hey, we're a synagogue. we don't have money to pay a off doubt police officer. that why they use members. brian: happened to the volunteers. ainsley: scary even having that conversation. thank you, william.

5:17 am
hillary clinton was loyal to barack obama. he was going to reciprocate. one thing hasn't been reported with biden rollout is the last time he ran for president how he finished in the iowa caucus. anybody remember. steve: 1%. >> 1%. good for you. that is exactly right. that is not a great strong showing. so he got out. maybe president obama was making a realistic assessment. we shall see. ainsley: do you believe it? you know, can't always believe what you read. most of us have all been written about before and the story is not always accurate. what do you think is going on here? >> i don't know and it is "the new york times" which has been known to print news that is not fit to be printed. brian: peter baker is credible. >> peter baker is a good reporter, i have no doubt about that. the one part seems to be not credible, i don't think peter baker vouches for this, that biden saying barack obama, he
5:18 am
asked barack obama not to endorse him. really? truly any think obama decided not to endorse anybody at this stage. who knows. there are several reasons that barack obama would not want to encourage joe biden. i think mainly he doesn't think he is a very good candidate. steve: bill, don't you think, back four years ago, barack obama thought, okay who is best to carry on my legacy with obama care and everything else? looks like hillary clinton is a better shoo-in than joe is. >> he was a loyal vice president but he wasn't exactly a strong and vigorous vice president. you wouldn't confuse him with dick cheney, for example. i think that is probably a very good assessment. yeah, you're right. ainsley: i saw you last night on fox news with abby and she was asking you about "wise guys" your segment on folks nation. let's show folks at home a little clip what they can see next week on your show.

hospital. no one else was hurt. steve: meanwhile, turning to the potential role that drugmakers could be playing in the crisis. ainsley: the connecticut ag filing suit against purdue pharma, the maker of oxycodone. they're not the only ones. sarasota county is among more than 1500 state and local governments taking opioid drugmakers and distributors to court. brian: fox news correspondent at large, geraldo rivera went to sarasota himself to see the crisis first-hand and joins us with more. hey, geraldo. >> hi, brian, ainsley and steve. you talked about connecticut's lawsuit and sarasota, ainsley. 1500 local governments are all suing big pharma and distributors of these opioid drugs. why? because they have decimated the communities.
5:26 am
here is the lead attorney, william robinson, jr., for the sarasota lawsuit. watch. >> they started a marketing campaign to change the narrative. what they wanted and if you look at the statistics was to convince the mainstream physicianing and medical professionals that opioids would be appropriate for chronic pain and they're not. because the body gets used to it. if you're on them a month, about 56% chance you will be addicted. that is an addiction that will last the let's of your life. >> this is a terrible, terrible problem in sarasota. 10 or 20 years ago, say 20 years ago there were eight overdose deaths in sarasota county. two years ago there were over 80. plus 71 children born addicted to opioids. it is clear that this is a problem and they have a very innovative sheriff down there trying to deal with these inmates so they reduce their drug use and recidivism and try to get that community back
5:27 am
together. here is the sheriff. are you in favor of these lawsuits against the big pharma and some of the contributors? >> i think it's great. someone needs to be held accountable. what has changed in drug abuse in my 32 years, looking at 40 inmates here product of big pharmacy. >> do you blame anyone really in this section blame the big pharma companies that produced oxycontin? do you blame the distributors at all? >> of course i have a little bit of bitterness towards them. if it wouldn't have been for prescription pharmaceuticals i would never have started opiates in the first place. >> pharmaceutical companies and doctor industry in florida plays a big part. >> when i started pain management program. i started on much less dose. my doctor gradually over time, got me on the super duty heavy stuff, got me on fentanyl. >> we all make choices but if my doctor hadn't -- i don't know. >> i ods probably six times.
5:28 am
>> you see how self-destructive this is? you're lucky to be alive. >> i am. more to the doctors prescribing it to me. they said i needed it. and then i use abused it. >> do you blame them. >> yes, i do. if it wasn't for my surgeries that started it i would have never touched it. >> somebody came to me and offered me to fill a prescription without going to the doctor. it seemed easy. >> the disease is so cunning, baffling, powerful, we feel like we're stuck in this cycle. we don't know how to get out. steve: wow. brian: geraldo, are they getting better? >> are they on the path to rehab? >> that's a great question, brian. you know this, it used to be they were just incarcerated. just kept off the streets and punished for whatever crime they committed to get the money they
5:29 am
needed to buy their prescription drugs. but now in sarasota and many other places they are trying a much more comprehensive rehabilitative approach to it where, they're trying to lessen recidivism, get the people on straight-and-narrow where they get coping skills, some survival skills. even as they're doing that, taking care of those patients, that will be focus of my report tomorrow morning, they are busting drug manufacturers. literally, criminally, the rochester drug cooperative three days ago, two of the chief executives were arrested for knowingly and intentionally intention pedaling opioids knowing they were more addictive and damaging to the people than they were saying. ainsley: i feel so sorry for them. brian: in the crack days, get a guy selling illegal drugs, women selling illegal drugs on the street. this isn't that. people are wearing lab coats. they're writing out prescriptions. ainsley: they're in pain. so they're taking these drugs.
5:30 am
>> they're drug pushers in white coats and they're big manufacturers. you know in their suits and ties. it's a lot different than it used to be. they are responsible for devastating much of our country. 72,000 last year? you know, some evidence it is plateauing because of these aggressive federal actions but there is a long way obviously to go. brian: geraldo rivera, thanks so much. >> thank you, geraldo. >> see you tomorrow. brian: president trump speaking with the rabbi wounded in the deadly synagogue shooting. he hayes his congregation will not back down. ainsley: white house press secretary sarah sanders is here nextla. that captured carbon like trees we could help lower emissions. carbon capture is important technology - and experts agree. that's why we're working on ways to improve it.

who wanted to get away who used expedia to book the vacation rental that led to the ride which took them to the place where they discovered that sometimes a little down time can lift you right up. flights, hotels, cars, activities, vacation rentals. expedia. everything you need to go. brian: we're back with a fox news alert. the rabbi injured in the deadly attack in a california synagogue over the weekend standing up to hate. >> my congregation was gathered outside of here, i said i have
5:34 am
got to do something. i got up on a chair, right here, i looked at our congregation and i said -- we are a jewish nation that will stand tall. we will not let any one or anything take us down. terrorism like this will not take us down. ainsley: the faith leader came face-to-face with that shooter and says the rifle miraculously jammed, likely saving lives. steve: one woman was killed in the attack as well. let's bring in sarah sanders, white house press secretary. she joins from us the north lawn. good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: the stories this morning, we have a couple stories of heroism. an off-duty border patrol agent was there in the church. he had his service revolver. we have a story about an army vet by the name of oscar stewart who actually ran toward the gunman.
5:35 am
then the gun jammed which ultimately saved a lot of lives. >> these stories are so powerful and the words of the rabbi that you played just now are absolutely powerful but so unfortunate, that he has to speak those words to his congregation, truly horrific thing that took place over the weaken and something that should never happen anywhere in the world. certainly not in in. certainly not driven by this type of hate. nothing could be a worse thing to happen than something like this in a place of worship. and the president has condemned this type of hatred, anti-semetic behavior. he spoke to the rabbi over the weekend. he also spoke with the governor and the mayor and offered condolences on behalf of the country and our hearts go out to these people. and again, this should never
5:36 am
happen in our country. our hearts are broken as we see what's taken place. ainsley: you're dad was a pastor of a church. you know, most of us go to church, or worship. go to a synagogue, go to a mosque or go to a church on sunday or over the weekend. for the first time in my life i'm starting to think about that when i'm in church. am i safe? is there anything we can do to make sure when people go to their house of worship that they are protected and their kids are protected? >> again i think like you said. that is a place you should feel safe. i'm thankful when i am there, i'm surrounded by the petitions and comfort of our creator and i think that is one of the most beautiful things about a church service but you should never have to feel what those individuals felt in that synagogue over this weekend. brian: right. >> i think that we need to look at every way we can, not just in churches but across the country
5:37 am
to look for ways to bring that level of hatred down. we have to call out this type of anti-semetic behavior, racism, bigotry. we have to call it out. we have to call it out by name. we have to continue to identify it. and make sure that people know it is evil and look at it right in the face call it exactly that. and again, anything that we can do. certainly i know the president and the administration are looking at ways that people feel safer in schools, in churches, across this country. brian: matt dowd an lift on abc says this, i think president needs to do look in the mirror, understand the rhetoric, the words he uses all this inflame a part of what is going on in america. they give permission to the most craziest people in america. what is your reaction? >> look i don't think anything we could be further from the truth. we have a president that has a
5:38 am
heart for people. why he ran, became president. he cares about people, he cares about this country. he wants to see it succeed on every single level. words like that are not helpful to this process at all, looking for how we can actually change people's hearts. i think matters. the president has condemned not only this act but all acts of evil an hatred and racism and bigotry and we will continue to do that. and again, i think that is a outrageous statement and something that is complete misrepresentation of who the president is and what he is trying to do in his administration. steve: something that the president is trying to do is trying to fix the immigration problem and jared kushner said last tuesday, detailed plan for a merit-based immigration system will be presented to the president, giving priority to skilled immigrants rather than those with family ties to the united states. do we have a timetable on this when we'll find out more about it? >> we're still working through
5:39 am
that process. i expect that to be over the next couple weeks. that that plan will be rolled out. meantime we're still calling on congress to help us fix some of the immediate things that could be done. the border is completely broken. we're seeing that more and more every single day. there is a true humanitarian crisis at the border that has to be addressed. we have children coming in record numbers, unaccompanied minors. it is just skyrocketing. it is inhumane what is taking place and the fact that democrats are not willing to work with the president -- brian: but tuesday they are. nancy pelosi and chuck schumer are coming to the visit the president. they called for a meeting. will the president expect to walk out with concrete steps both sides can take? "60 minutes" and "the new york times" is saying a it is a crisis. do you expect something to come out with the meeting on immigration? >> the primary purpose of that meeting is to discuss infrastructure. i certainly wouldn't be
5:40 am
surprised if immigration comes up. it is a major problem in this country. so far democrats have refused to acknowledge it and address it. hopefully they have, as a lot of the mainstream media who were really late to the game, but even like you said "the new york times" started to recognize this is a real crisis. hopefully democrats are seeing that as well. that they are more willing to work with the president. the purpose of that meeting is to discuss infrastructure, how we rebuild the country's infrastructure. another vital conversation that has been ignored for too long. this is a president to likes to build things. he knows how to build things and do it well. and i think this is a is great place where democrats and republicans can come together to find common ground. that we can focus on solutions instead of the fighting we've seen taking place over the last several months. democrats are solely focused on attacking this president and ignoring all the big issues in the country. we hope tuesday we'll see a
5:41 am
change of heart from both speaker pelosi and chuck schumer. ainsley: sarah, white house correspondents' dinner was over the weekend. the president has not gone the last few years. you were there last year. you decided to skip out on it as well. you both went to green bay, wisconsin, for a rally. the president was on stage. called you up on stage with him. joked around a little bit. watch this. >> she doesn't get it. she doesn't get it. she doesn't understand me after all these years. she is becoming too popular. i'm jealous, sarah, you're fired. [applause] steve: you had a good run. >> thankfully he didn't fire me in real life. and, we had a great night saturday night. there were tens of thousands of people that came out to cheer on the president. and sheer on the success of his first two years in office, which have been absolutely tremendous. it just bows to show that there
