particularly border patrol. the american people want answers and we want answers from senator warren, what she's doing to get this done. congress are the only ones who can fix this problem, they are concentrating on tax returns and bank records as opposed to saving children and keeping people from dying, the problem has been out of control for some time and we are too busy fighting with each other instead of doing the job they are sworn to do. shannon: let's look at what she said. she demanded information from the trump administration addressing cvp saying you owe the public an explanation and a full accounting for the causes and circumstances of their deaths referencing children and you can read the rest of it right there but you said kind of hypocritical because no action is being taken on their part. >> exactly and we demand answers from them.

we want to know what they are doing. this problem is dropped in the lap of border patrol. we are not equipped to handle these, our facilities are not equipped, we are doing the best with what we have, trying to put a band-aid on a broken leg because all congress will give us is a band-aid. they are not serious about fixing this, more interested in political infighting and what lies ahead for them in their career as opposed to getting this fixed and they need to get to work and get somebody else who will get it done. heather: you can blame both sides for getting nothing done because this problem began in 2013. the mcallen central processing center in terms of number of apprehensions, 10,000 apprehensions per week. how would it be possible to handle that amount of people? >> look at the fact we are not

set up in terms of long-term facility. the facilities we have are not built into our station. we are just not built for this type of long-term processing to hold the amount -- there needs to be -- luckily we have federal agencies from all over the country to help us out. it has gotten to the point we are not about to break, the system broke months ago. heather: you have apprehensions, safety, crowd control, dealing with health concerns. how many jobs is the cvp expected to do it this point? >> the one job we should be doing is patrolling the border. we are inside, babysitting and processing instead of concentrating on what we need to

concentrate on and have huge numbers, the same numbers we apprehend on a daily basis because we don't have the manpower on the field to get it done when dealing with this crisis be a cause congress is too busy fighting with each other to do their job. heather: we appreciate the work you do at the border, stay safe. the time is 26 after the top of the hour. to impeach or not to impeach, that is the question. nancy pelosi is facing. >> engaged in a cover-up and that could be in impeachable, the cover-up is frequently worse than the crime. heather: will impeachment backfire or is it all they have to run on? we will debate next. - in a crossfit gym, we're really engaged

-- >> impeachment is inevitable. heather: nancy pelosi stopped just short of impeachment proceedings. with the 2020 election looming is she afraid it could backfire on democrats? his richard fowler and jason meister. thank you for joining us this morning, great to have you with us. i will start with you, impeach or not impeach? >> this impeachment push is a perfect example of the left controlling, the far left controlling the mainstream left. this would assure donald trump reelection. they are tripling down on this complete russia hoax which they themselves manufactured. mueller's report was very clear there was no obstruction, no collusion. this would assure he would be reelected. shannon: what do you think? is nancy pelosi trying to walk this fine line, have her cake

and eat it too when it comes to impeachment? >> congress has the role to have oversight and accountability when it comes to the executive branch of this government, that is in the constitution, one of their powers they have, power and responsibility they have because it represents the american people. volume 2 of the mueller report gives 7 indications where this president could have obstructed justice. these investigations, in the judiciary committee, the ones in the intelligence committee or government oversight are all trying to get to the bottom of whether or not this president obstructed justice because the mueller report doesn't exonerate the president, it says we at this time this is not on our purview to convict him. we leave it up to congress. what congress is asking for is the president to cooperate and

work with them and not disobey congressional subpoenas. we have seen the president do just that. you or i cannot disobey. >> you have to understand volume 2 was a political document. an extension to the democrats to thread a needle of impeachment. if you look at the actual findings there was no conspiracy. the fact you are talking about instructions shows that you see no underlying crime into focus on obstruction when he did not invite anyone related to the trump campaign with the president himself regarding collusion is a perfect example of how this is a political document being used - heather: moving forward to what should democrats do with these findings? if you look at paul after paul if you ask americans should they move on they should. we had a poll earlier that said

more than half of americans wanted to drop it and move on and get some work done and we saw what happened yesterday, what nancy pelosi did after this impeachment meeting this is what she had to say. >> this president is obstructing justice and engaged in a cover-up and that could be in impeachable offense. the cover-up is frequently worse than the crime. heather: she made this comments and goes into this meeting on infrastructure to get some actual work done and the president pulled back and says if that is what you are going to spend time on we are not going to spend time on this, no one is getting work done and then talking

we saw he balanced the budget. he was on a tour across the country talking how to resolve race issues, worked with house and senate republicans even though he was under investigation to pass bill after bill after bill, to pass law after law after law. what we are seeing from donald trump is the opposite of that. he is laying his response ability as president on the table because there are investigations ongoing. prior to the start of the mueller investigation donald trump promised the american people at $2 trillion infrastructure package and now the rubber has met the road and we need to figure out how to fund this to trillion dollar package and the president hasn't proposed one penny, one sense, one plan on how he gets that done. he cares more about the ongoing investigation than improving american interests. >> this do-nothing congress

focusing on impeachment off of the mueller report was for donald trump his second term. >> let me stop you here. that is inaccurate. >> a cover-up of a coup d'état. donald trump, presidential harassment what is going on in this country and it should never happen. it shouldn't happen under any president, democrat or republican. >> let's remember the fact this congress last week passed a bill to extend equities of the lgbt community and passed a bill last week decreasing the price of prescription drugs. heather: we are past time but thank you for joining us and some sort of work is getting done by somebody because the economy is the best it has ever been. the time is 20 minutes until the top of the hour. democrats want you to buy into medicare for all in 2020.

on duty as powerlines, trees scattered on the roadways. janice dean joins us live with more on the multiple tornadoes from overnight and where the severe weather threat is headed. >> reporter: this is an ongoing situation for the last several days. the same areas getting hit hard by severe storms, prayers going out to parts of missouri getting hit with several tornadoes and you can see the radar bubbles up overnight with strong severe thunderstorms especially for jefferson, missouri, outside of joplin, missouri. this will be an ongoing situation. we don't see the scope of the damage until after the weekend because we will see potential for not only severe storms but letting rainfall. parts of the missouri river valley will come over there banks with some of the rainfall over the next several days,

storm reports the last 72 hours for severe weather outbreak stretching from texas to oklahoma, missouri towards illinois and indiana. we have tornado watch is in effect, still a volatile situation over the same areas that have gotten hit hard overnight. parts of missouri in indiana, tornado watches meaning conditions are favorable for tornadoes. if there is a warning it means we see a tornado on doppler radar, some of these tornadoes you can't spot them because it is dark outside. a lot of people without power and folks are not prepared for severe weather. today stretching across texas towards oklahoma, missouri, illinois and the mid-atlantic and northeast we need to have a heads up for severe storms, maybe not a tornado outbreak, large hail, damaging wind and flooding rainfall. this afternoon and tonight, i

can't talk about flooding enough. this will be a huge concern heading into the weekend, reports of over 8 inches of rain and more rain in the forecast this weekend. this will be a potentially deadly situation through the next couple days and memorial day weekend. janice will be with us the next few hours. presidential candidates hoping you buy into medicare for all at the ballot box. >> you all should have a choice, to buy into a public option for medicare. >> we are going to pass a medicare for all single-payer. >> we need medicare for all. >> medicare for all is one of the possible path. >> how to do medicare for all. heather: the congressional

budget office revealing the true cost of the socialist policy and here to break it down is founder and ceo of the research group chris jenkins. thank you for joining us, appreciate it. healthcare spending in the us, 17.9% of gdp. the cost of medicare for all would be $32.6 trillion according to a study by george mason university and the report seems to back up those numbers. >> $32 trillion is a lowball estimate. the house and senate this year added a new long-term care benefit and the urban institute said that would cost $3 trillion over the next 10 years. heather: the cbo report reports the impact of implement a medicare rates and said that decline could lead to a shortage of providers, longer wait times, changes in the quality of care

especially if patients demand increased substantially because many previously uninsured people received coverage. how providers respond to such changes demand for their services remains uncertain, the decline being provider payment rates. do you agree that is true? >> exactly right. the congressional budget office didn't put out a specific dollar estimate primarily because democrats haven't asked cbo for a specific estimate, they don't want to know the answer but we do know if provider rates, in the healthcare sector. if provider payments are not reduced, that is another $32 trillion. heather: these 2020 candidates have to be aware of these numbers and this is not anything sustainable or can be supported. why are they making the suggestions? >> that the good point.

no one has put out a plan to pay for any of this and the fact of the matter is current medicare funding has funding shortfalls. what democrats want to do is abolish the current medicare program and use it as a piggy bank to have this single-payer health care scheme. shannon: in their opinion they are trying to get votes based on it. >> that is correct. nobody points out the tax increases would completely overwhelm the spending. one estimate said that 71% of people would pay more under a single-payer system if it was funded by tax increases. somehow governments are not telling the american people that fact. >> we appreciate it. it is 10 minutes until the top of the hour. after a heated hearing on the whole, congresswoman omar
