9:03 am
arthel: thank you. eric: at the southern border president biden calling the situation there a crisis. doing this after the administration previously only called it a challenge. you know, the change in tone comes as there were about 22,000 migrant children now in u.s. government custody, more than 170 migrants apprehended in the month of march alone and this influx seems to show no signs of stopping. we have live fox news team coverage for you, david spunt at the white house more on the president's comments on the refugee cap yesterday but first let's go to rich edison on the border with the latest with what's going on there. hey, rich. rich: hey, eric, well, this stretch here in la joya, texas, border patrol agents up and down the road, vans, there are trucks, earlier today more
9:04 am
apprehensions. this is what we are seeing on a daily basis here. a few dozen migrants crossing, going up to border patrol, border patrol giving them water and taking them out to central processing where custom take to go different ports of the processing. since then officials say basically the pace here has continued since those record high that is you saw for the first time really, the highest numbers in the last two months, democrats and republicans blaming for this. >> what donald trump did work, it was working. joe biden dismantled that and now you have a huge catastrophe at the southern border and of course, that's going to have reverberations across the country. >> there's no question that donald trump left us with a mess, you have been reporting on that and we have been fighting for 4 years. he has destroyed every legal avenue for immigration. >> customs and border protection
9:05 am
say they are afriending nearly 500 unaccompanied children a day down here with more than 20,000 in u.s. government custody, most are handled by the department of health and human services, hhs then moves them the long-term shelters or family members across the united states. now, there are calls from republicans, they want the white house, the want the president and vice president come to the border. most of what you're seeing is commitment from the vice president to visit mexico and guatemala some time soon. eric, back to you. eric: plans to unleash multiple billion dollars to help the countries stem the cause there. meanwhile you have the border patrol vehicles behind you. last sunday was amazing. you showed us families that were apprehended right where you were standing basically. have you seen any families or unaccompanied children crossing over there this morning? >> we had some this morning, eric. and it really is just timing when we go live. throughout the day, we have been
9:06 am
in this area here right along the border throughout the work and it just depends on the time of day that we have a live shot where people will just come up to border patrol, much of what we are seeing people with children, that's really been the hallmark of those who have been crossing the border here, eric. eric: do they just walk up the road or they come out of the bushes, how does it work? >> yeah, different ways. so the river is a mile that way. they will come across the river, some will try to create a diversion or use other migrants and families come as diversion and they will come and run right past here. others will go up to border patrol, they will talk to border patrol, surrender themselves and they will go into processing. a lot of it depends on the cayotes and smugglers on the other side of the border, those in mexico telling them to do. it's the first time they've come to the united states. they will take them up to the border and they will say, okay, this is where you go, go to this path, border patrol will be standing right there, go talk to them and go surrender or try to
9:07 am
claim asylum or whatever the process is, others might say, this is where border patrol will be or there's a group of families crossing here. you go around and go in the other direction and that's what border patrol is telling us is happening here and you will see this throughout the day here and throughout the week. eric: wow, really seems to be organized, they are getting instructions on what to do. >> rich: oh, yeah. eric: thank you, rich. arthel. arthel: eric and rich, president biden taking heat for saying he will keep the refugee crap at trump-era levels after major pushback from progressives. the president is now saying that he will likely increase the cap but he's not saying by how much. let's go to david spunt, he's live in wilmington, delaware. david: next fiscal year he was
9:08 am
looking at around 125,000, it looks like that is not going to happen after he signed that emergency determination on friday for that 15,000 level, though, the white house is saying to people, do not panic. there will be an increase here in the next couple of months after all the fiscal year is not over for a few more months until the fall. here is national security adviser jake sullivan on with chris wallace on fox news sunday. >> not only do we get people on planes immediately by changing those allocations which were rooted and xenophobia and even racism but also that we raise the cap. he has commit today that and he will follow through on that. >> and as eric mentioned yesterday was the first time we heard the president at least on camera call what's happening on the southern border where rich is a crisis. the white house resisted for months calling it a challenge instead but this is when the president used the word in
9:09 am
delaware, listen. [inaudible] >> the problem was that the refugee i was working on -- [inaudible] david: arthel, important note when refugees come to the country, different system than what we are seeing at the southern border. the refugees are vetted overseas and then clear today come to the united states on the plane. at the southern border where rich are showing up asking for asylum, arthel, the office of refugee resettlement better known in the community as oorr, is in charge of refugees coming all over the world and migrants coming to the southern border seeking emergency asylum, the president and white house including national security adviser jake sullivan says that office has a lot to handle. that's essentially maybe where they were just a little overwhelmed here over the past few months focusing on the southern border, but, again, president biden expected to increase that cap up from 15,000
9:10 am
here in the next few months but the big question and we asked and others have asked, what will be the final number, arthel. arthel: by how much, david spunt in wilmington, delaware, also coming up we will talk to former white house deputy chief of staff under the georgia w bush administration, karl rove will have more on the border crisis. eric. eric: arthel, all this on capitol hill, republicans in congress tearing to the democrat-backed plan to add 4 more seats to the u.s. supreme court. senate judiciary committee member senator lindsey graham promising to fight the effort to enlarge the court from 9 to 13 justices. calling that idea, quote, the biggest assault on the rule of law. but democratic lawmakers, though, say not so. they are sponsoring the bill because they say it's necessary to restore balance to the high court, that after former president trump appointed 3 justices to the bench giving conservatives a 6 to 3 majority and they point out that the gop
9:11 am
blocked merrick garland during the obama administration and they also pushed amy coney barrett's nomination on the eve of the presidential election. griff jenkins live in washington with more on the expansion plans. hey, griff. griff give hey, eric, this is that bill, the very bill less than 100 words really, the judiciary act of 2021, the group of democrats introduced, steps to the supreme court. simple one-page bill changing number of justices on the bench from 9. the number has been since 1869 to 13 which would shake up the current 6-3 conservative majority you mentioned. now it's outraging republican who is have introduced their legislation to maintain the number 9 and last night the former chairman of the senate judiciary committee lindsey graham lit into the notion. >> the idea of packing the court so liberals can make it liberal rather than changing the makeup through the election process the way we have done it for a long time, so this is a very dramatic
9:12 am
bold move and i will do everything in my power to stop it in the senate because it would destroy the supreme court as we know it. griff: yesterday one of the lawmakers introducing the bill speaking at a livestream making clear why he believes change is necessary. >> we are here because the united states supreme court is broken. the court is out of balance. too many americans view it as a partisan political institution and not impartial judicial branch of government. >> steven bryer said earlier this month that making changes that can be perceived political in nature could lead to loss in confidence in the high court. >> structural alteration motivated by political influence can only feed that matter of perception. further eroding that trust -- >> griff: freshman congressman

jones is now calling on bryer at age 82 to step down saying that they don't want to make the same mistake they did in not getting rgb to step down earlier. eric. >> fdr tried it in 1937, he didn't like the court's ruling against the new legislation. didn't work then. griff jenkins in washington, griff, thank you. arthel. arthel: president biden calling the crisis. karl rove joins us on the growing problem. ♪ tomorrow holds the course of your financial future. which is why it's good to know exactly how you'll get there.

danger. ♪ ♪ ♪ [inaudible] arthel: well, at that time president joe biden on the record yesterday saying we have a crisis on our southern border. so in march alone there were 172,000 migrant encounters at the border. president biden's admission that it's a crisis comes one day after the white house reversed course on a decision to keep the number of refugees allowed into the u.s. at trump-era levels, that announcement brought major backlash from the progressive left. let's talk about it now, former white house deputy chief of staff karl rove is also fox news contributor. karl, where is president biden going wrong and what was working under former president trump? karl: yeah, we don't have enough time to talk about everything going wrong because there's a lot going wrong. one statement that he made that i found appalling was right
9:19 am
after the clip that you ran, he said, he explained confusion on why he hadn't moved to raise the number of refugees the u.s. would accept, he said we can't do things at once on the border. well, that's ridiculous because every president has to do 5 or maybe 6 things simultaneously along the border. you have to deal we willingal border crossings of trade and goods in people, you to secure the border against illegal crossings, you have to return illegals either to mexico if that's where they came from or their home country, you to process and adjudicate the claims of refugee status and you have to process legal immigration and in the modern era, we have also accepted responsibility to try and do something with the conditions in the country of origins where we are seeing a surge of migration like from the so-called triangle countries, guatemala, nicaragua and el salvador. the idea that he can't do two
9:20 am
things at once is appalling statement on this whole administration's handling of the immigration issue. arthel: you know, karl, it was muffled, and he talked soft spoken and with the mask i couldn't hear him and what i thought, steve, if you want to have me reracked for me, that we couldn't do two things at the same time now they are getting on track to doing all of the tackling of the multiple issues that you just laid out. so if y'all have that for me, y'all can replay it and let me know when it's ready. you have that for me now. [inaudible] >> two things at once now and now we are going to increase the amount. arthel: yeah, it seems like he's looking forward to move forward. he's looking ahead to moving forward to tackling multiple issues but let's move on right, karl, because you mentioned those -- the countries of
9:21 am
origination, origination. vice president harris says that her role is to tackle the root of the problem from where the surge stems. so does it make sense for a u.s. statesman to deal with the heads of state, guatemala, honduras and el salvador and what does vice president harris need to accomplish with the strategy? >> well, first of all, it is reasonable and responsible to do so but realize that's a long-term solution. i was in the white house trying to -- when we tried to end catch and release, the idea that people came across the border, got released into our society and never showed back up for their court dates and so we had to deal with the same countries in order to reduce the flow of refugee -- of illegal immigrants coming across the borders but it takes time. in the meantime you cannot let up on the other responsibilities. look, the administration was turning a blind eye. starting in november as people thought biden was going to change the policies along the border, the numbers began growing dramatically and by
9:22 am
january 78,000 apprehensions at the border compared to 41,000 last year. by february it was 101,000 compared to 37,000 last year. 173,000 in march compared to 34,000 last year. the prime months for movement across the border are yet to come, april, may and june. so we are at a bad situation and they knew it and they weren't doing enough to stop it. arthel: let me ask you, i'm sorry, because i'm short on time and i know that you have a lot to say and i do want to ask you, karl, because you are a strategist, you have been there. how would you tackle the current border crisis and break it down for me in way that is the viewers can understand it because you know it so well. karl: first of all, we are dealing with highly-efficient and very smart criminal enterprise in the traffickers. many of them are tied to drug cartels and overwhelm the system, that's why we are seeing a large number of unassisted children being tossed across the border, brought across the
9:23 am
border, they know that will overwhelm the system. you have to deal with that. calls for extraordinary measures. arthel: that's a big deal. how do you deal with that? that's a huge deal. karl: you get ahead of it. you open up emergency facilities, you be -- you have -- you start using military bases and create special facilities for these people, you could do everything you possibly can and they have been doing little to nothing on the issue as it grows worse and worse and worse but you have to at the same time send a very strong signal, don't come because if you come, we are going to turn -- send you back and the money that you have given to the traffickers is going to be flushed down the toilet and you're going to end up back where you were when this is all done and instead they is said, well, we are trying to raise refugee cap and we are trying to be -- we are not the previous administration, we are not building the wall, and these are just the wrong signals to sake because there's a criminal enterprise using every one of
9:24 am
the signals in order to convince a large number of people to invest their money with those criminal enterprises and bring their families and children north or bring themselves north. what we are not paying attention to is huge number of single adults across the border. 65,000 in january compared to 25,000 last year. this is criminal enterprise and they got to get ahead of it. they are not. >> all right. well, i -- you made really good points. i understand that. i think -- and you're right, they had a big problem with messaging, no, no, the border is not open, do not come. so we will see if they can get that message there stronger. karl, will you come back again because i want to go over some -- some line by line items with you and really break it down as to how to fix this and we had a lot of time right now considering but then we didn't have enough. will you come back?

9:34 am
are, could there be another invasion or is he just saber-rattling? >> ukraine is a flash point in the relationship between the united states and i would argue the west at large and russia for sure intelligence community is assessing is russia simply threatening ukraine, might they seem to annex additional territory in eastern ukraine in region where russian separatist have been fighting ukraine forces for 7 years. it's possible that russia will seek an all-out invasion. that would be a very risky move for sure. eric: what would be the consequences of that? >> well, i think that's what vladimir putin is testing right now and, you know, the united states had planned to send two warships into the black sea, but then following very fierce russian protest, the biden administration decided to cancel that -- that plan maneuver and i
9:35 am
think putin might interpret that as the united states backing away and allowing russia to exercise greater influence in their spear of influence, traditional spear of influence. what scares vladimir putin most is democracy and ukraine striving for democracy and membership in european union and nato constitutes existential threat to russia. putin wants at the very least to dismember ukraine territorially and impact negatively the functioning of the ukrainian state. eric: what do you think we should do, the trump administration as you know sent lethal ammunitions to ukraine watching up their defense. what should the biden administration do do you think to try and blunt putin? >> well, i think there's a number of things the administration could do and some of them we are going to see and some of them we might not. i think a more stand in favor of
9:36 am
ukraine's territory. ukraine gave up nuclear weapons in 1994 in return for russia and budapest signing memorandum and russia has broken that by annexing the crimea and again launching attacks in eastern ukraine and massive cyber-attacks. we need to be very strong and forceful with our nato allies in support of ukrainian independence. we need to continue to support ukraine with military and with intelligence support and then behind the scenes really warn vladimir putin that this is a red line for us. i'm not so sure the biden administration has done that and i think a lot of the allies particularly those in the front lines in baltic states are watching can the united states can defend, deter and encounter russia. eric: mean while this is occurring in the backdrop of election of navalny, he's wasting away in jail.

9:38 am
lackluster response to the coronavirus pandemic, the decrease in hydrocarbon import from russia on which russia's economy relies, protests in belarus and moscow to cyberria. he needs to demonstrate he's a ruthless leader and that's why he used nerve agent to target navalny. he needed bread crumbs leading back to kremlin and not plausible deniability. he wanted his own followers to know he's as ruthless today as he was 20 years ago. navalny arrested in january and been on hunger strike since late march and there are grave concerns. his own team is saying he's deathly ill but if you look at the way that -- that putin has treated his -- his enemies, among others, i just don't know that -- that we can expect much

police pulled over a 44-year-old man for allegedly running a red light and when they approached the car the driver threw bleach in the face of the officers and sped off. out of the car they say, the suspect threw a lit molotov cocktail and you can see the windshield of police cruiser. luckily it didn't go off and none of the officers were injured. arthel: dr. anthony fauci says he hopes that vaccine comes back. federal officials call for pause on single-dose shot last week as doctors assess a possible link. >> i don't wan to be ahead of them but i keep getting asked that, i do think we will get it back in some manner or form but
9:52 am
what i'm sure, i hope that we don't see anything extended beyond friday, we need to get friday some decision one way or the other. arthel: here to talk more about this is dr. ja, public health. dr. ja, no need to tell you, but this pause has added to overall vaccine hesitancy. with that in mind, what does the general public need to know about what the cdc panel that dr. fauci is talking about. what will they be discussing in terms of the j&j vaccine? >> yeah, first of all, thanks for having me on. i think this panel made up of experts is going to be reviewing all the data that's out there and issuing guidance and advice to the cdc and fda about what to do with the pause. bottom line is we have awareness of 6 potential cases linked to this vaccine. that's 6 out of 7 million or 1
9:53 am
in a million. your chances of getting hit by lighting is higher than that and i hope the panel takes the risk into account, think about restarting vaccinations and my expectation that they will recommend vaccinations begin up again. arthel: with that in mind, i would imagine that you would say to those who have already gotten the j&j shot especially females 18 to 48 years old you probably say no need to really worry. >> i'd say two things, all of the adverse events, all the clots that happened, happened in the couple of weeks, if you're let's say a month out of your shot, absolutely, no need to worry. you're way out of the window. if you got it in the last couple of weeks, your risk is really, really low. i wouldn't worry but at the same time obviously pay attention. if you develop really severe headaches, really severe abdominal pain, something that would land you in the hospital anyway, obviously don't ignore
9:54 am
that. but also mention the fact that you got vaccinated in case you are 1 in a million, again, not something to be concerned about but paying attention is a good idea. arthel: good advice. 200 million shots, i believe, have been administered in the u.s. i think that means that half of all americans have at least gotten at least one shot, i think. that's fantastic news, however, until there's a global control over this pandemic, it's our problem too, right, so how will this j&j pause impact vaccine distribution worldwide? >> yeah, i'm hoping not by much. you're absolutely right. this is a point that we often forget. this is a global pandemic, a global pandemics come to an end when you get a global solution. we have to vaccinate the world. we won't be able to get through if america is largely vaccinated but large outbreaks happening elsewhere, we will continue to see outbreaks in the united states. so j&j is a fabulous vaccine, it is a vaccine i would feel comfortable with my family getting and my hope is that we
9:55 am
use a lot of it here and also be able to ship some out to the rest of the world because, again, global solution is what we need. arthel: let's talk pfizer and moderna before we go. are boosters eminent and if so how soon will we know if we need to get a third shot after six months or after one year. >> yeah, i don't think boosters are imminent. i know that there's been a lot of talk about boosters as far as i'm concerned. i want to still focus on getting people vaccinated. my take is that people may need a booster next year but we, you know, with the flu shot we get an annual and there are other vaccines where we get boosters. the only reason we might need a booster soon other than that if we have a lot of variant that are causing breakthrough infections, than a booster can be helpful in preventing that, u i don't expect that this year, if it will show up at all, it would be spring and summer of next year is my best guess. arthel: that makes me rest easy. i already got both of my pfizer
9:56 am
shots. all right, dr. ja, it's always a pleasure to speak with you, i really appreciate your expertise, sir, thank you. have a good day. so, eric, we made it through another hour on a sunday at noon. and we are going to take a break. eric: i'm glad that you got your shots. arthel: and you? eric: wear the masks, stay safe. arthel: did you get your shots, eric? yes or no? eric: yeah, yeah, i'm not out of the window yet so you still have to be careful. arthel: absolutely. we are back at 4:00 p.m. eastern, please join us. sorry for talking over you, eric. ♪ ♪ ♪ i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein.
