we just heard from brown family moments ago, and live in elizabeth city north carolina, with the latest. chris. >> that's right arthel good afternoon. we're at a church here in elizabeth city where we had an emotional passionate press conference from all of andrew brown's children. we're here along with the mother of those children. the state leader of the naacp local tank county naacp leader and attorney representing the family harry daniels, and they are calling on the sheriff tommy wooten here to resign. they're demanding that the body camera video worn by deputies during shooting death of brown be released and they want the law in north carolina changed so they can be more readily be made available to the public. here's a little bit of what attorney harry daniels had to say at this press conference. take a listen. >> everybody -- told you that mr. brown was

shot -- unarmed in the back -- by multiple officers. that we know it was a weapon located at the scene. plus he was unarmed. unarmed. unjustifiable -- unjustifiable shooting unjustifiable publicized. reporter: arthel this protest have been peaceful for the last three days. there have been no arrests whatsoever and out every night demanding that justice wooten resign we spoke to the sheriff, here's what he said about the tape release. take a listen. >> ultimately you believe it would be released? >> yes it would be ultimately be released without exception if there was any violation of law or policy -- accountability is first thing that's going to happen they will be held accountable, absolutely. >> now at the scene of the shooting, you can see that clearly mr. brown was trying to

speed away. the investigation is under control of the north carolina bureau of investigation but we were able to talk to a neighbor who does house had a bullet goes through it and here's how that happened it is remarkable video arthel. watch. >> so bullet comes through the house, hits the clock and then goes where? >> over here. >> that's where it ended? >> no it kept going went through there. come out other side? >> yes. >> through here. all the way through there. >> and hit my crock pot. landed -- reporter: as far as tonight it is -- as far as tonight it is raining

side of the border. however, they're finding more and with more crossings they're also meaning more hazards. agents tell us that number of it drownings here in the rio grand river international boundary between mexico and texas have sky skyrocketed as have number of rescue and around the clock operation from sun up to sun down. this is video of migrants crossing in roma, texas, under moonlight. the feds say adults and family units are sent back but unaccompany minors stay. and more than 23,000 of them are now in pus u.s. custody according to hhs data and long beach california convention center will house up to a thousand. that place is now one of at least 15 emergency intake sites set up with overflow around the country. >> right now there are no consequences to illegally coming

to our border and entering our country. because they've simply overwhelmed our capacity to deal with it. reporter: now, some lawmakers like senator cornyn there support opening four new regional border centers. staffed with immigration judges which would help expedite asylum clainls claims move people faster through a back log system a system that was already backed up frankly before this latest surge even began. eric. eric: okay casey in laredo texas. a ride along with officers asrot threat areas on the southern border. they will show you exactly what it is like what they are facing, and what they're finding on their patrols. arthel. arthel: all right eric thank you. new york governor andrew cuomo office handing over data pertaining to nursing home deaths in his state. but not publicly releasing the

information calling it a, quote,ing invasion of personal privacy this amidst ongoing investigation into the governor's handling of covid outbreaks in nursing homes. senior correspondent laura ingle is in nassau county and particularly hit hard by covid. laura. reporter: when we take look at nassau and suffolk county 1,000 nursing home deaths due to covid that we know of. and after months of pressure, both by the press and by family members of those who lost loved ones, in their nursing homes, due to covid-19, there is yet another pushback from the governor's office to make these records public. it has been a long fight looks like it is going to go along a lot longer this latest push in response to a request from the associated press governor cuomo office in a freedom of information act request with governor cuomo office denying ap review of their documents regarding covid-19 nursing home

death toll. now in a letter dated april 15th governor records access officer stated that it won't publicly disclose covid-19 nursing home data that it gave to the federal government last year stating releasing the information qowld not only constitute warrant invasion of personal privacy but that their public disclosure would, quote, interfere with law enforcement investigation. the latest tally from the feds show that over 33,000 confirm cases in over 8,000 deaths occurred in new york state. republican new york state assembly minor leader will barclay told us this morning he's not surprised by the pushback. >> stone walling anyone getting this, let's hope the investigators who are involved whether it is ag or certainly the legislature will use that subpoena power to get it. but, obviously, it makes you very suspicious when he doesn't release it why is he not releasing it? reporter: it's been a long haul fight for the records after the

justice department requested that new york and other states for that matter share their data and regards to covid-19 nursing home deaths. u.s. attorney office and brooklyn and state assembly judiciary committee also looking into claims that the cuomo administration purposely undercounted those nrmings. and even governor cuomo said it has been a long time these should have been made public. but he's not releasing them because they're trying to hide anything. rather they need to make an accurate count. arthel. arthel: laura ingle live there in new york thank you very much law are a. eric. eric: meanwhile in california, kate lean jenner now throwing her hat in ring as governor. olympic gold medalist reality tv star hoping to replace governor newsom in recall election and she's running as a republican. gina live in los angeles with the latest on this intriguing race. hey, christina. >> hi eric catlin jenner select status will bring a lot of attention to a likely recall

election we're hearing from a number of republicans on this. san francisco gop party chair tweeted could be interesting lots of name recognition lots of her own money lifelong conservative should know issues. and she knows how to win. her first appearance is crucial, will tell us if she's a viable candidate. caitlyn jenner a long time republican and an activist for transgender rights who like other gop contenders is slamming governor garch newsom over state high tax and restrictive covid lockdowns. republicans state legislator kevin kylie says strategically it is helpfulling having jenner in the race. first scwe do you want to remove gavin newsom and if we don't get over 50% then list of candidates doesn't matter so i think that having a prom innocent voice like caitlyn jenner in the field can only be helpful in terms of helping to make that case on the

first question that we need fundamental change in california. reporter: former san diego mayor kevin faulconer gop candidate did say this yesterday -- >> i think we're going to have a lot of candidates that will enter this race. i think that's a reflection on the dissatisfaction of the job that governor newsom is doing. i think i'm uniquely positioned in terms of somebody who was won election it is knows how to get results. i'm looking forward to the campaign. reporter: caitlyn jenner calls herself a proven winner she's confident that she can unseat newsom in this deep blue state, though, polls show that nearly 60% of voters support keeping newsom in office and again, a recall election is not official yet. though it is likely to happen. eric. eric: yeah, arnold schwarzenegger ronald reagan was an actor before so you never know. [laughter] christina coleman in california, thank you. arthel.

arthel: eric and christina back to east coast likely to be a fierce fight on capitol hill after president biden unelevates his 1.5 trillion dollar spending plan in congress next week. the president prpgzing to pay for his wish list of new items by raising taxes on the wealthiest americans. republicans warn a tax hike would kill the economic recovery. mark meredith live at the white house with more on this. mark. reporter: next week marking 100 days in office just before then he's going to go up to capitol hill to do a speak with congress for first time that he's been in office. have that joint session, it is also there that he's expected to lay out the second phase of his economic agenda which would be increase government spending on child care education and social program. the white house is going to be calling this the american families plan that is one and a half trillion in spending at least but this proposal is considered somewhat controversial because white house wants to raise taxes on some wealthiest americans to pair if it.

one idea under consideration raising taxes wearls americans pay off profits made by investment and white house insist details are worked out and adds only a specific group of americans will pay that higher rate and be targeted. >> what i can say it it will only affect people making more than one million a year that's pngt 3% of taxpayers or 3 out of every 1,000 taxpayers that's even at the top 1% other net worth rise by 4 trillion in the middle of a historic pandemic. >> republicans argue tax increases especially those thactd impact stock market could kill post pandemic economic growth. they're also accusing white house of pushing far left agenda on eversion from spending to environmental policy. he's not been working with republicans and inviting down to white house and not forward any policies that show that he's willing to meet in the middle. one question that remains unanswered at this point what was this latest proposal mean

for infrastructure plans that white house is trying to push forward you saw that republicans put forth their own bill that would still do things like repair roads and brings and spend significantly less an unclear whether or not that could distract from efforts those negotiations keep going at this point. arthel. arthel: thank you very much. meanwhile president biden today formally declared the mass murder of armenian during 20th century a genocide proclamation came during a day of remembrances in armenia and elsewhere right now we're going take a live look at los angeles where several armenian groups are supporting president biden's proclamation. armenia prime minister said the u.s. recognition was an important moment for his country and the world. the turkish government, however, immediately rejected president biden's statement in accused him of distorting facts. and estimated one and a half million armenians were killed under the empire from 1915 to

1923. >> back here at home washington wrapping up its efforts to try to reign in some of the big tech companies. the senate, you know, already is prpgzed some bills to curb concerns over anticompetitive practices. and we're told more hearings are on the way. jackie heinrich has more. reporter: this past week, silicon valley tech giant face questions from the senate judiciary sub committee after house committee approved its tech antitrust report that summed up year long investigation into google, amazon facebook and apple, and they're alleged abuses of market power. the movement are setting stage for congress to take action. lawmakers want to tackle a number of issues including creating barriers for dominant a companies with a pension for scooping up competition, repealing or reforming section 230 lost shielding internet companies from legal liability, over content their users post as well as content moderation including measures to protect children. this hearing focused on the gate

keeping power these companies have over app stores and web hosting putting them in control of any apps success or failure. >> just because a company creates its successful innovative business that consumers like doesn't give it a free pass to harm competition or ignore our antitrust laws. reporter: apple allowed parler back after it was pulled amid criticism over content moderation policies and user posts about the capitol hill insurrection but parler has not been restored to google or amazon stores. former president trump last night added to calls for big tech to face antitrust scrutiny as he considers starting his own social media company. >> i'm looking at it we're looking at different plat forms we have a lot of people that want to come on existing platform they have to be strong and not dominated by amazon and by google and people that can take them off the air right away. and you do need antitrust you have to do something about it. a big priority for republican lawmakers is passing legislation that would address instances of bias against conservative

voices. eric. eric: all right jackie thanks so much. we're going to have a lot more on this big tech issue tomorrow, in fact, it is going to a special 25th anniversary edition of fox news sunday wow it has been on air for 25 years. chris wallace, of course, on fox news sunday that's first 2 p.m. right here on the fox news channel. arthel. arthel: look ford that. new polling showing public perception of police is declining police ranking across country are struggling to find new recruits. hear why our next guest says community based policing can be the ultimate solution. ♪ na na na na ♪ na na na na... ♪ hey hey hey. ♪ goodbye. ♪ na na na na... ♪ hey hey hey. ♪ goodbye.

eric: israel retaliating launching air strikes and targets inside gaza strip overnight after militants from there fired dozens of rockets across border and another exchange of fire comes amid rising tensions in jerusalem and clash with protesters and crowds from both sides attack each other. live in jerusalem on the streets with more on the situation tonight. what's going on, trey? reporter: eric good afternoon we've seen few rockets fired from gaza strip as clashes continue across jerusalem and in

different in west bank. we've seen a lot of video fires at check points as israeli security forces are clashing with palestinians you can see here, there's a separation right now outside of the old city at the damascus gate you've got israeli police on one side. and on the other side, you have palestinians that right now are sort of observing the situation and seeing what is unfolding. we have seen a number of arrests here as police use forces to clear the road. but you mention at the top, this really is the "x factor" gaza the strip is something everyone is focused on because last night 36 rockets fired into southern israel some of them intercepted by israel missile defense center iron dome others landed in some neighborhoods take look at the impact where we were earlier today. >> happened next to a house shrapnel can go through houses

so it's one thing to know first of all that everyone is safe everyone is all right. once you know that so then everything is relaxes. reporter: television before 6 a.m. in community when sirens went off residents say they didn't even have time to get to shelters like this one. before they heard a loud bang -- a rocket slamming into the ground of this animal sanctuary in the small community along the border with gaza. israeli security analyst fear that this is a message from hamas the group plans to get involved in ongoing clashes in the city of jerusalem. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu held security consultations with bennie and trying to determine what is going to happen next, if there are clashes and rocket fire continuing throughout the weekend, an into next week, you can expect the much stronger israeli response but again tonight there have been two rockets fired into israel, and right now there are clashes taking place not only in jerusalem but also in cities across the west bank. eric.

eric: saturday night unsettle ready jerusalem, trey, thanks trey. arthel. arthel: eric and trey new data shows how americans feel about policing in america. as citizens cell phone and police body camera videos have provided real time perspectives new abc news washington post poll finds that the majority of black, white and hispanic americans believe more must be done to hold police accountable for their mistreatment of black people. meanwhile, public opinion is having a negative impact on morale within rank and fraternal order of polices president telling washington examiner, quote, recruitment is down lots of offices are choosing to take their retirement. so what we're seeing is the experience levels of departments going down. you add to that, cities downsizing their agencies, and what we're having is our job becoming less and less safe. putting all of these factors together we're putting together

a perfect storm for unsafe communities. my next guest helped create the blueprint for lapd's community based policing program. former los angeles county sheriff, and former lapd officer jim mcdonnell joins us now so before we get into the how to, what would you say is the most fundamental aspect of building trust between police and the communities they serve? >> you know, communication i would -- well thank you first arthel for having me on but when i look at an important topic like this -- we are in a crisis right now as it relates to the perception of police legitimacy across our nation. we talk about transparency, accountability all keepings to moving forward, but you hit it. our recruitment retention and crime rates and in cities large and small across the country are a major issue for all of us as residents of this great country. when you think about what we ask of our police officers out there

job has never been more complex than it is today. we have 18,000 police agencies across america roughly 700,000 police officers, most of them going out there every day doing a very good difficult, complex job often dangerous job exceptionally well. and granted we focus on 9 situations where that does not occur the way we would like to see. but reverence for life is the foundation of what we do. when we look to recruit people, in southern california, roughly out of every 100 applicants about four make it to the academy. three make it through the academy so it's very selective but we're dealing with people who are dealing with other people in crisis and so it ising very unique position. i think moving forward we need to be much more open about the challenges that we face. the obstacles and the need to work together with the communities that we serve. it is only that way can we plan

at all to be successful and so as we move forward, the focus on deescalation critical, critical but very challenging. it's something met we talk a lot about as well. but roughly 7 out of ten uses of force that police officers engage in, are dealing with people who are under the influence of either drugs alcohol or dealing dealing withl health issues so deescalation part becomes difficult when person is in a crisis of their own. and so as we identify the problems and try to come out with solutions and moving forward, the critical component is communication with our communities. the ability to be able to have high standards across our nation. the international association chief police came out two days ago with a set of recommendations that they've made that i think will get some traction, and there are things that you may not think would come from the police side of the

house. but things such as consensus policy nationally on use of force, national use of force database, national standards on discipline, and termination of individuals. mandating participation in a police officer desertification database, dealing with police leadership and culture, looking at improving recruitment hiring and promotions within the ranks, and then enhancing our ability to be able to implement effective discipline when the need for that occurs. in all of these things come down to, you know, are we -- are we viewed by public that we serve as legitimate? are we there to be a service agency and at the same time, the police need the public's support in order to be effective. arthel: let me ask you this final question here -- and you've talked about how trust is important and communication is important. how do we get to a mindset not all cops are bad. not all black men are criminals.

>> right. >> well i think again, it is getting to know each other and it is easy to demonize someone you don't know taking the time to be, you know, much more involved from a police side of the house in youth programs and getting to know people as growing up to be approachable, to be in a position where police are viewed as a resource for the community and like wise, from the communityside going to these programs, getting involved, getting to know officer who is work for particular area and developing that kind of ongoing relationship that makes all of the difference in the world about having a safe community, the ability to be able to help shape that each one of us has a responsibility. but also a great opportunity now as much as we see the nation in crisis in this regard, it's a great opportunity and a time for being tiebl move forward in a much more positive direction. arthel: let's hope for the sake of all of pus doesn't matter where you live for sake of all of us that we can get some understanding here. because something has to give. former sheriff jim mcdonnell

sheriff thank you so much for joining us. eric. eric: thank you sheriff thanks arthel. arizona governor sending national guard troops to southern boarld and some sheriffs say there they don't need additional help and coming up speaking to one mayor of a border city why he says he does want more resources. that takes wealth. but this is worth. and that - that's actually worth more than you think. don't open that. wealth is important, and we can help you build it. but it's what you do with it, that makes life worth living. principal. for all it's worth. that delicious scramble was microwaved? get outta here. everybody's a skeptic. wright brothers? more like, yeah right, brothers!

to border patrol agents in the national guard using air, ground, and marine assets to stop mexican cartels from smuggling people and drugs into the country. we went up in air with state troopers as they patrolled the rio grand valley. >> state troopers are the eyes in the skies when they see migrants down below they'll alert border patrol agents to pursue and increase in activity and it is taking longer than usual for those agent its to respond. reporter: only ten minutes into our flight, we spot a woman with a backpack on the mexican side. troopers think she's a scout for the cartel she's looking at us as she talks on a cell phone. >> how do you know -- >> on a cell phone walking around on two cell phones. there's a constant aerial presence there's about two to three choppers in the air throughout the day. but they tell us they can honestly use three more.

reporter: just in the last five weeks of this operation, dps arrested 631 people ceased marijuana, cocaine, guns, money, and detained 24,000 smuggled migrants 7,000 of them minors. >> always stretched thin and always trying to find that balance and make it work. >> first hand experience shows us how porous the board is and how difficult job as they chase down cartels with seemingly no end in sight. >> the violence, corruption is there and difnghts levels. in rio grand valley aishah hasnie, fox news. eric: from aishah flying over skies in texas and declared a state of emergency in his state in arizona deployed to help patrol along border and governor saying resources are maxed out and that local leaders and

others are calling for help. >> let's drain all of the pleks out of this. this is a border security issue. which is also a national security issue that directly affects public safety. and, of course, when we're going to deploy the major guard what they are doing is, they are supporting our law enforcement leaders. >> one of those official who is knows first hangsd what is going on is the mayor of uma doug nichols city is right on border and national guard has been deployed. mayor good to see you you were with the governor when he took that border tour last week. what is it like on the ground where you are? >> well right now on the ground you know it's sporadic and day-to-day and really cartels are working and they understand the border and they're trying to control exactly the different crossings whether it is people or whether it is drugs, and so -- where we were with the governor is a very common place to have people come through and really

just turn themselves in. but miles and miles away, when you see that surge where we were, you'll see an equal surge trying to get drugs or some other maybe it's -- not good actors trying to come into our country but that's where the border security issue really comes into play. >> what do you think has been driving this and -- being there seeing it firsthand what would you like federal authorities to do? >> well, i think what's driving it is when we start releasing all of those things that -- stepped this same flow in 2019 this is very much the same push that we had in 2019, and in about three months the administration at the tile was able to put policies in place that stem that flow of that kept people from trying to enter the country at these dramatic numbers. well with the new administration coming in and release of those policies that are reversal those policies -- people have seen that as an open

door, as a welcome mat essentially if you would. to come into the country, and so the transnational criminal organizations are promoting it, again, with those that are truly trying to see a -- seek a better life. but at 7,000 to 15,000 dollars a person, it is a business to these traffickers so when it is a business that brings billions of dollars a year to them, you're going to see them try to exploit every angle that in every weakness and every policy that is in place along the border at this time. eric: that's interesting. not just a matter of someone walking themselves as a lone family but whole criminal background network you say the president and administration has said border is closed. what they know of the loopholes and they know asylum loopholes following law when families are able to come across and they're given, you know, some of the them are distributed around country now to family members especially young children. and the others. what would specifically like to

see change as soon as possible in order to try to stop this flow? >> well federal government really needs to step up and take control of the situation because in 19 when that did happen, there wasn't a need for the states to issue national guard orders. the federal government did what it took to take -- to take care of this situation. but ultimately we need to see policy changes we really, really need congress to jump in and do the immigration changes that have been decades in coming. but we need to find ways as a nation to have the conversation about what we're doing in the current policies that have been in place and -- even the ones that are in the past are really encouraging this business and really encouraging the exploitation of people from third world countries if you're from cuba you don't fry from mexico and come to uma that's done because there's a criminal element that's all planned out and they know how they're going

engage with different elements along way and have intelligence to know where they can come in and how they can cool in and what they're controlling. so really the federal government needs to take it head-on. we can't just -- address the humanitarian issues which we need to do, we need to make sure those who need protection can get it. but we also need to try to cut the flow off so those that don't need that protection or as urgently need that protection, put themselves at this greater risk of being exploited. you know, it would be simple as trying to process claims within months of entering the country instead of years so the truly don't have asylum claim then you return home to your country that diskowrnlings others from coming along but right now what's happening are people are being released into united states with court dates three to five years out. while three to five years is so far into the future, very few of them actually show up so you just essentially de facto brought in -- a whole group of people that

will will never get due process. eric: that has been the situation, and what seems to be continuing you're right there on frontlines. uma mayor doug thank you, thank you for your -- insight right there on the ground. arthel. arthel: all right eric some patients hospitalized with covid-19 end up suffering long-term lung damage and some seeking out lung transplants and our next guest explain why is that solution could save lives but lead to other difficult issues. ♪ ♪ g. it didn't get us to the moon. it doesn't ring the bell on wall street. or disrupt the status quo. t-mobile for business uses unconventional thinking to help you realize new possibilities. like our new work from anywhere solutions, so your teams can collaborate almost anywhere. plus customer experience that finds solutions in the moment. ...and first-class benefits, like 5g with every plan. network, support and value without any tradeoffs.

early evidence from the u.k. shows that one in five people hospitalized with covid-19 could suffer from long-term lung damage. meanwhile the journal of the american medical association reports that 10% of all covid-19 patients will become so-called long haulers and that could potentially impact the rest of their lives.

dr. david while is the author of exhale hope heal and life in transplant so dr. wild, of course, with understanding that variables like age habits and immune system and preexisting conditions factor in at this juncture how much is known about what covid does to the lung? >> i think there's a great deal that is about what happens in the acute face when a patient is infected initially i think what's less well known is what the long-term is going to hold for some of those patients. our concern is that -- there's going to be patients that recover from the covid infection that end up scarring their lungs and having lung dysfunction long-term. >> and you spent much your career specializing in lung transplant how troubling or challenging will lung transplants be post covid? >> i'm concerned about it. not only because there's going to be a number of patients that can't be weaned from the

mechanical ventilator and also longer term patients that may not recover their lung function. so i'm concerned about the number of patients that may require lung transplant how technically challenging that surgery is beginning to be in these various -- >> what make it is so technically challenging? >> the covid -- pneumonia is characterized by real lung destruction, so there's scarring of the lung. there's actually destroyed lung tissue that make getting lungs out during a lung transplant challenging so some of these operations that have been performed have lasted several hours. and the patients bleed rather excessively during cases in many of them so the technical challenges of getting them through operation are profound having said that, the teams that have transplanted some of these

patients may be as many as 100 worldwide that have been transplanted have had actually pretty good success getting patients through it. arthel: that's good. and, of course, the current vaccines are designed to keep us out of the hospital off the ventilators which is great but what does a mild case of covid do to our lungs and what are the long-term effects of any level of covid on the lungs i know you've gave us a little bit of an idea if you have a severe case but even if you have a mild case what does it do to your lungs over course of time? >> short answer is we don't note answer to that. we're not sure that mild cases there's going to be any residual lung damage. my guess is that kind of lung damage that will require lung transplant is going to occur in those patients that have been on the mechanical ventilator very sick in the icu, and have required long hospital stays. my guess is, that group of patients are the ones that i'm

most worried about and might need a lung transplant. arthel: uh-huh. i'm running short on time but, you know, we may have you back because the question is even if i get a mild case again i don't have any leal of covid-19 and that's what i'm wondering what will happen in those cases so we'll have to have you back to talk about that mean while your book is exhale doctor david while thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. arthel: eric. eric: that's car returning to talladega and exclusive look from drivers seat ahead of tomorrow's big race. ♪ (ac/dc: back in black) ♪ ♪ ♪ the bowls are back. applebee's irresist-a-bowls all just $8.99.

gleek revving up for nascar geico 500 at the talladega 500 and charles watson is there with a preview. hey, charles. reporter: hi eric we're getting taste of what fans will experience here, tomorrow, right now with the ag 300 at the talladega superspeedway and fs1, of course, this is sort of one of the competitions you'll see before the main event tomorrow. nascar is really led the way in sort of putting on these live sporting events getting fans involved. you know, there are thousands of

fans who are here today and there will be fans here tomorrow to watch all of the axon the track. but, obviously, because of the pandemic things are a little different. so we don't have the 80,000 fans here filling up the seats. capacity is capped off at about 35% so less than half of what talladega can hold that's to make sure everyone has enough space to spread out and not spread any germs. so after a year of not being allowed to go to any live event like this, you can imagine how pumped fans tell us they are to be here today. some have traveled thousands of miles i'm talking about -- as far as washington state. there are dozens and dozens of campers with fans here in the infield to watch races and believe it or not, some of these fans have been camped here since wednesday. >> whole covid pandemic had us locked down we're all tighted up
