negligence and total stupidity and lack of caring. jillian: the border crisis is expecting to be a major focus and formal press conference on thursday. a fox news alert, a chicago suburb becomes the first in the us to pay reparations to black residents, households receive 20,$000 for home repairs and downpayments. they have to prove their ancestors lived in the city and suffered discrimination. the program is being funded through donations and revenue from sales tax on recreational marijuana. questions being raised on astrazeneca's vaccine after of fields to be 79% effective. the safety monitoring board is concerned the british drugmaker included outdated information,

i want to talk about your first-hand experience. can you tell us about that and what information you know from that experience and how you feel about this today. >> the operation i led in arizona 7 years ago, the epicenter of human trafficking and the criminal cartels, and relatives asking for payment. the cartels are out of control. smuggling 10,$000 to chicago, in arizona they were called relatives. and and and forcing them to pay.

many bodies piling up in arizona. many human traffickers and smugglers. an example how vicious it is. i remember one time going through the same scenario this relative gave us the phone number of the smuggler tracking that phone and saving these people. one person was hogtied, hands behind his back, his feet tied in duct tape, his face is wrapped up and a hole poked in the mouth of the straw so he could breathe. one case, paying smuggling fees, stabbed in the face over 20 times, these criminal cartels are ruthless and people don't see the upside. it is far from victimless.

>> they are making a lot of money. take a look at these numbers, $114.9 million made on central american children and families, the daily average these cartels are making, $14.6 million so it seems these people are turning out to be the biggest winners of this border crisis. >> no one celebrated more the biden presidency them, cartels, the promise he made cause a surge at the border and the cartels are back in business. what i tell people is the humanitarian issue could be turning into a national security issue. the criminal cartels purposely send a group of 200 families in one area.

every day. based on foot traffic and family traffic, over 1000 getting in the way, who are those thousands? and on fox and other networks, the border is not secure, president biden made promises, this is a plan to open borders strategy. donald trump gave us the most secure border of three decades and joe biden tore down in two weeks. they know what they are doing, they are in prepared for this. this is what open borders look like. the secretary mentioned these people have a right to come here. whether they remain in mexico, they don't claim assignment are waiting in mexico. if you believe in the rule of

law, why removing 90% of central americans entering the country legally of claiming asylum, they are removed. in the last eight years, hundreds of thousands of families ordered by a federal judge and you can't say the losses you have the right to claim asylum on that side of the law once you get a decision just because you don't do it it doesn't go away. you got to execute those orders and remove these people so central americans don't see people coming home even though 90% lose their case they keep coming. you quote the entire law and carry out the judge's orders. carley: many sides to this story and you just laid out the scariest aspect of it. 18 after the hour.

other, we were single file. somebody had their hand on my back and i had my hand on somebody's back and saying go go go, run run run. >> reporter: this happened monday afternoon at a time the retail area was full of shoppers. after the first shot started going off many trying to find cover or run to get outside, some escaped through the back loading docks. ten people it all were killed by the suspected shooter who police say was eventually arrested. one of the 10 who died has been identified as officer eric talley who according to investigators was the first person to arrive on scene to respond to the call of shots fired. he was 51 years old, father of 7 kids, the youngest 7 years old. authorities are calling his actions heroic. first responders from all over the area saluted him. >> the boulder police department

began receiving phone calls, shots fired in the area and the patrol rifle. he was fatally shot. >> as soon as investigators contact family members of the nine other victims do not give their names and tell their stories of who they were as people. the name of the suspected shooter hasn't been released, who gets medical attention, jen psaki saying president joe biden has been briefed, getting updates and that might include something we get later on at a news conference, getting the latest information in boulder. jillian: thank you. the suspect in the atlanta massage parlor shooting

>> reporter: us climate envoy john kerry is set to meet with his chinese counterpart for a virtual climate conference. ministerial on climate action conference is an annual meeting of major economy set up by china, european union and canada after the trump administration left the paris climate agreement in 2017. president biden last month formally rejoined the agreement. this comes after the biden administration sanctioned chinese government officials yesterday due to, quote, serious human rights abuse, the eu, the united kingdom and canada sanctioned the chinese officials on monday. the white house saying the move underscores the commitment to working with allies and partners with regard to china. listen. >> we continue to have concerns about china's crimes against humanity and genocide and evaluating the appropriate next steps in coordination with partners and allies around the world and as secretary of state

noted in his comments after this meeting we are certain the chinese are noting we are working more closely with our allies and partners been happened over the last four years. >> reporter: the sanctions came after the biden administration engaged in tense bilateral talks with chinese officials. john kerry's meeting comes weeks before president biden will host a world leaders summit on climate change. jillian: now let's bring in senior fellow gordon chang. thank you for being here. >> thank you. jillian: how does john kerry handle this and how should john kerry handle this? >> john kerry is saying climate is a standalone issue. this comes after a number of reports from people close to him who believe climate is so catastrophic that it overrides all other issues with china including national security.

there is great concern that he is going to bargain away things he should to get a climate deal. i don't know why we should be bargaining with china in the first place. they tell us they are so strong they don't need us, they don't need our money. it is going to be very interesting to see what agreements we come to. one other thing. the administration says we will deal with china where we can and oppose where we must but beijing itself says you can't go that way, you cooperate with us across the board or don't cooperate with us at all. this is going to be additionally very tough for the administration to work with china on climate. jillian: you say we don't need cooperate with china on climate change so how would you say we should handle climate change, what should we be doing here? >> one of the things we can be doing is stop buying chinese goods. people say take the 15 largest

container vessels that contribute as much carbon to the atmosphere as all the world's vehicles. that might be a little exaggerated but the point is if you want a really good climate, manufactured goods close to home because you eliminate one of the biggest sources of carbon emissions. the other thing, we have a crisis on the southern border. the reason is central america has been destabilized. it has been destabilized because factories went to china. if we can stabilize those societies with factories we are not going to have a pressure on our southern border. carley: a lot of people are asking how to deal with china, the last bipartisan issue left in washington. what do you say about that? >> it is a bipartisan issue. there will be differences how to deal with china within both

parties but clearly china is a common enemy. it is perhaps the only common enemy we have apart from iran, russia and north korea but those are all china's friends and those countries compose a threat to the united states only because china backs them up. reality will pervade even washington dc at this moment. jillian: i want your opinion on this. research poll, americans nearly split on faith in joe biden to deal with china, 46% have no comment, 53% to have confidence. where do you fall here? >> wait and see because although sometimes we have seen good things from biden on china, we've seen some indefensible things. he took down protection on chinese sabotage for the grid. i don't understand why he would do that. to see what he does because right now he's being tested in the south china sea as beijing

is threatened to break apart the philippines in this chain. this is where chinese policy comes down. jillian: i sigh you tweeting about that. you can check gordon chang's book, the great us china task force, great to see you. thank you. the time is 37 minutes after the hour. first in the nation, reparations approved in the chicago suburb. how it will work. plus. >> i am strong. i am smart. i am capable. i am a mathematician. jillian: a teacher uses the power of songs to give students a boost of confidence inspiring pretest strategy. going viral. we have it for you next. ♪♪ r those willing to go further.

veteran turned va nurse. david, it is an honor to have you on. what is your message to the biden administration this morning as you learn of this $86 million that's going to house illegal immigrants in hotel rooms? >> well, what i don't understand is why we can allow our greatest heroes, our american veterans that have done with to fight for this country, that have gone and put their lives on the line and then they come back home and have nowhere to go. this administration is putting more money into people that have never contributed to this society. and to me, that is very heart-breaking. being a homeless veteran myself, you know, are i needed all the help i could get, and i believe that that's where our money needs to be going is to help these veterans that have gone out and put their lives on the line. some of them are disabled. some of them have mental issues. and, you know, that's where we need to put our money. jillian: can you talk about that
