trey, what's the latest. >> following the 11-day conflict between hamas and israel. the military wing of hamas held a parade in gaza city mourning the loss of one of their commanders. they had fired more than 4,000 rockets toward the jewish state during this conflict and the group toed a pledging that if the cease-fire unravels, they'll continue. and the brigade has entered gaza city, they are mourning the loss of one of their commanders during this 11-day conflict with israel. the sense in gaza is that all sides are prepared and the fighters we spoke with today say they are ready for the next round of conflicts. >> in lighter news, the children of gaza, who were caught in the cross-fire are getting a much-needed break. in rural gaza, a local

nonprofit held a group therapy session for kids dealing with trauma. and some of the kids don't speak they're trapped in their minds thinking about the conflict and others describing in detail what they saw, remarkable scenes and gives you a sense of the future of gaza and children that will have to deal with whatever political and military decisions are made. the question does remain whether or not this cease-fire will hold. both israeli prime minister and senior hamas leadership here in gaza have pledged if the other side breaks the cease-fire, they're ready for more conflict. >> incredible reporting, when you were with the fighters there in that middle of your report there, you were talking about the sort of sense you get and that's everybody's question. will the cease-fire hold? what is the sense where you are as to which direction it could be moving. >> right now, life has returned to normal in gaza. behind me there are families in one of the public squares in gaza city getting ice cream and jumping on trampolines. it's a popular thing in the

center of gaza, but there is this sense of things unravelling when it comes to the political side because you have to consider when you look back on this conflict, it had to do with two major issues focused in jerusalem. the al-aqsa mosque and issues for palestinian people. there is a question whether or not this will head towards peace or back to conflict. as of right now things remain calm in gaza city. >> great reporting, stay half. thank you very much. >> here in washington, democrats are divided as progressives say that president biden isn't doing enough to support palestinians in the region. and mark meredith is at the white house with more. >> president biden says the u.s. remains committed to israel even as a number of progressive democrats on the hill urged for the white house to reconsider with the jewish state. and the president has said that the u.s. is committed to israel, defending against

rockets. giving credit. but some of the lawmakers, rashida tlaib said a cease-fire is necessary although won't give freedom and equality for hull to live-- and the funding for human rights and end funding if the conditions are not met. the president himself weighed in on friday. >> there is no shift in my commitment, the commitment to the security of israel, period, there's no shift. not at all. i'll tell you what there is a shift in, the shift is that we still need a two-state solution and it's the only answer. >> now, closer to home, the white house pushing off a new round of negotiations with republicans on infrastructure spending. they're unveiling a $1.7 trillion downer offer, lowering their original request by $550 billion. the white house insisting it

can still find common ground with senate republicans. >> this proposal exhibits a willingness to come down in size, giving on some areas, that are important to the president. otherwise they wouldn't have been in the proposal and while also staying firm in areas vital to rebuilding our infrastructure and industries of the future. >>, but senate republicans say there are still vast differences in what the white house is proposing and what senate republicans are willing to push through. those negotiations, you know they'll continue to roll on. as for the president, he's up at camp david and due back at the white house tomorrow. >> thank you so much. griff. >> now joining us now is republican texas congressman and member of the house foreign affairs and house armed services committee, ronny jackson. thank you for taking time on this saturday afternoon. so much to get into. i want to start with the cease-fire in the middle east. you heard from our report there from trey in gaza city, it's holding, but there's also a sense that it could unravel.

what is your reaction this morning? >> i hope the cease-fire holds, but i don't think it will. one of the reasons i don't think it will, we, this country in the united states president biden's administration and congress have not been decisive and quick enough acting on this in large part because the agenda in congress is being driven by, quite frankly, the anti-semitic squad controlling everything happening in congress across the board, including our interactions and our support for israel in this. and if you don't think we're being tested you're crazy because people all over the world, iran, the palestinians, hamas, they're all looking to see how they handle this and we've not handled this well. i think the democrats-- this is just really unveiled how the democrat party has changed so much over the last decade or so and how these people that are driving it from the socialist, marxist minority in the party are influencing it and i'll give you an example. in 2014 about 300 rockets were

launched into israel and the democrats led a resolution condemning hamas over this. we had 4,000 rockets launched into israel this time, in less than 10 days, and they would not do that again, and they're not capable of it at this point. so i just think that things have heal changed in the democrats in general have abandoned our support for israel and this is toward peace in the middle east. >> as a member of the house foreign affairs committee. what are you doing to address the situation? >> essentially nothing, that's part of the problem. 'on the submarine-- subcommittee, and we have addressing transnational and white supremacist and terror. that's a big problem, and i've

sent a letter to the committee chair and subcommittee chair and basically demand we're talking about israel, our support for israel what to do to help our number one ally in the middle east. >> i want to change gears. you talk about who is talking in congress. and i want to talk about kamala harris, and criticizing her for not visiting our southwest border. what are your thoughts, why won't she go? >> because the border is a disaster and she doesn't want to be associated with it, either. day one she wants nothing to do with the border. i don't blame here, it's a disaster if you go down there. we'reover overwhelmed. we have 170,000 that we know crossed the border, an increase of 944% from april of last year. and march was a record year as

well. this is a huge burden for our country economically. it's going to be a health care crisis for us, a criminal and terrorism crisis for us. the border is an absolute mess right now, we have record numbers of heroin, methamphetamine, fentanyl crossing the border, long-term issues we have to deal with and she doesn't want to be a part of it. she needs to get down there and they need to stop this. and the democrats think that they're relying on the mainstream media could not talk about it anymore and they think if they don't talk about it, it will go away. >> in the 30 seconds left. it appears that republicans and democrats are a long ways apart when it comes to infrastructure? >> infrastructure is not going to get done right now. the democrats won't back off of the social spending that they have in there. there's only about 6% of the initial money that they put forward that actually deals with anything to do with infrastructure and we're just not in a position anymore in this country to spend trillions

and trillions of dollars of our grandkids' money on this garbage. >> you mentioned the squad before with on another issue, but we did see them almost tank the capital security supplemental. do you anticipate them playing a role in this infrastructure talks? >> i think they probably will. like i said, they control a lot-- almost everything that happens in that party right now. they're in complete control. >> congressman jackson, thank you for taking time. >> thank you. >> for more on president biden's spending plan let's turn to new jersey congressman, homeland financial and services committees and part of the problem solvers caucus. they countered senate republicans smaller infrastructure proposal and cut the cost of that plan by half a trillion dollars. it didn't sit well with republicans who raised their top line amount. now the two sides they say are further apart after two

meetings with biden's staff than they were after just one meeting with president biden. that's the same complaint, by the way, they had about the biden staff during covid relief talks. so essentially the white house offer takes money from infrastructure and tacks it onto another bill and paying with a different legislative credit card. it voted on next week and some people say is this an honest negotiation on the part of democrats? (inaudible) >> i can't hear him. okay. it looks like we're having a couple of issues with the congressman's audio here. oh, we have him back. all right. >> sorry. >> there we go. go ahead. >> thanks so much. thank you for having me. >> of course. >> what i was saying was, you know, right now, there's a group of us in the problem solvers caucus, democrats and republicans working with a group in the senate, democrats

and republicans on a more targeted infrastructure bill part of the larger jobs plan. we're making very good progress on that. i think we will find agreement, i'm hoping in the next week or so-and-so what i would say, i know there's a lot of back and forth going on. when you're working on an agreement, it takes time and i think we're going to get there and optimistic that we can, focusing on the roads, bridges, tunnels, water and the grid part of the proposal. >> and how to pay for this. i want you to listen to what the white house press secretary said yesterday, i'll ask you a question. >> he believes that the extraordinarily wealthy, the companies many of mom who have not paid taxes in recent years can afford a modest increase to pay for middle class jobs. so the white house rejected covid funds and a few in the party threatened to pull support if the plan doesn't roll back the cap on state and

local tax deductions and puts you at odds with progressives. can the democrats pass this on their own if there's that division? >> where getting back to my earlier point in the agreement, negotiations we're working on right now between democrats and republicans, you know, we're looking at alternative ways to pay for this aside from increasing taxes and there are a lot of options, one way of course the president talked about is closing the pay gap and going off tax cheats and there are other user fees, and plenty of other alternatives there. my view is pretty simple when it comes to taxes. i'm not one that's a big believer in raising taxes and especially here in northern new jersey, things are so expense tiff. i think if any changes in the tax codes to families has to include reinstating the local tax deduction and giving real tax relief to families here, especially in the middle of a pandemic. so i think we can get there, but again, these things are going to be a lot of back and forth between the agreement and

how the negotiations go and i don't think that anyone should walk away from the table. >> i want to get to another story, talk about israel. for progressives, this news of a cease-fire has not been enough. they want democrats to fundamentally rethink how the u.s. deals with israel, you on the other hand has been a vote cal supporter of israel and senators like bernie sanders have moved to block it. i want to play sound from the divide from democrats on this and then get your reaction. >> palestinians aren't going anywhere no matter how much money you send to apartheid government. >> many have fallen back on a blanketed statement defending israel's air strikes against civilians under the guise of self-defense. >> some democrats said the divide is a g.o.p. narrative, but you've gone toe to toe with some progressives on this very issue. >> you've got a splinter group

of some in my party who have big extreme views on this usual. you know, and even some calling israel terrorists and or apartheid state. i mean, that's totally outrageous, that's not with where the democratic party is this week and we've gotten behind israel and between democracy and a terrorist organization, hamas, we obviously always go with our democratic apply, that to protecting the u.s. national interest and fighting hamas and hezbollah and isis and al-qaeda. so, there's no question here of what we need to do, which is continue to support israel, make sure they have the resources they need, and you saw iron dome and how effective that was in fighting off more than 4,000 missiles that were fired from hamas, which is a terrorist organization at israel. so i think we need to do more to get israel back and make sure that we strengthen our key ally in the region. and you know, obviously, you saw the president also holding that line. even as some in my party tried

to go in a different direction. >> all right. congressman, thank you so much for being with us, we appreciate it. >> thanks so much for having me. >> chris wallace has an exclusive interview with senator roy blunt on sunday part of the infrastructure negotiations with president biden. check your local listing for time and channel and media buzz tackles chris cuomo advising for advising governor andrew cuomo about sexual harassment allegations. that's tomorrow starting at 11 a.m. eastern. >> in the u.s. and south korea forming a new to expand vaccine and that it will help with the global supply of covid-19 vaccines and ease the semiconductor shortage that's stifling production for several companies including ford and gm and two auto giants forced to close down some factories because of the shortage. >> more than 60,000 migrants

you're looking live in the rio

grande, and the heaviest border crossings, a 20-year high. what you're looking at a section of the border wall built and expanded under president trump in la hoya, texas. it's important because right there, which is really next to pinedas, texas, a site of heavy are heavy activity. rest assured it's been going off a high clip more than 400,000 illegal crossings in the southwest border. customs and border protection releasing more than 61,000 immigrants in the u.s. since president biden took office as the record number of people crossing the border as we mentioned keep rising and that's why we're going to bill joining us now in the rio grande valley. great coverage, great job.

what is the latest? >> good afternoon, that's right, we're in la hoya, which has consistently been one of the biggest hot spots along the u.s.-mexico border particularly in the rio grande valley. every single morning where we're standing like a broken record, groups of migrants will come out of the brush behind us to border patrol. had a group of about 100 this morning and we'll show you that video later and we'll show you the video that our crews shot this week with rio grande. the crossings happen in the middle of the night as you know. and this is video that alex hogan and her crew shot. migrants crossing the rio grande on rafts in the sector, having guides or the coyotes with them padsling them across, some coming with children and they come across the rio grande and to the u.s. side and give themselves up to the u.s. border patrol. we've seen if not just here, but in del rio, the large

migrant families, presenting themselves and not trying to hide. they bring the children, if we can pull up video from the donna texas, there's reporting from axios that health and human services secretary xavier becerra says they might have to increase housing capabilities from 5,000 to 10,000 at fort bliss at the military facility there and some activists aren't too thrilled. if you go into a bigger facility and you bring the children in, it harder to keep track of them and care for them appropriately. so, they had some questions for xavier becerra and countered them and said look, we've got 20,000 kids in our custody right now, we have to find places to put them. if you guys have better ideas, we're all ears, so that's something to keep an eye on there to see if that capacity created in fort bliss and live

in la hoyy, the ongoing security concerns, border patrol saying here in the rio grande valley sector, an active ms-13 member wanted in the houston area for the sexual assault of a child and the same day wednesday in browns v.i.p.-- brownsville, a mexican migrant crossed and had a murder charge. if they don't get them. they're right into the united states, griff. griff: that's such a good point, bill. i was thinking with fox and friends, the gang member out of el salvador, a confirmed gang member in a group of i believe 75, 77 and they have to then sort them out. are you getting the sense that that is a frustration for cvp

and border patrol to figure out who is who? >> yeah, absolutely. when we were in del roux he -- del rio, the border patrol was frustrated with that, feeling more like a welcoming committee than a border patrol. they found the man 30 minutes southeast of where we were in hidalgo, 71 migrants came across and family units, people looking for a better life, but sometimes as we've seen there are some bad apples mixed in there and they ran a background check on one man, i believe in his 30's, came back he has an active warrant harris county, active ms-13 gang member wanted for sexual assault of a child. so kind of shows you some of the grave circumstances that those border agents have to deal with out here. you never know who can come out of this brush, griff. griff: great reporting. we'll check back with you in the next hour. thanks, bill. >> all right, it's a big day in

the city of mobile, alabama. the u.s.s. mobile is commissioned today in its namesake city where it was built. the mobile's crew running up onto the ship to extend their journey to home port naval base san diego. the ship is the fifth in the navy's history to be named mobile. if you look at that. >> it's pretty amazing, i grew up in the south in memphis, every summer we would drive to destin, florida and go through mobile, alabama and you would see this ship and so, to now hear that it's being commissioned, i believe that senator tommy tuberville is going to deliver the remarks there, so, certainly going to be a big day for him down there and it reminds me, i kind of wish i was at the beach as well. >> it's a good day for the beach. we're here though. >> but there is news and we must get to it. and the israeli-palestinian cease-fire, we'll go live to tel aviv next. phone it in to farmers to switch and you could save an average of four hundred and sixty-seven dollars on your auto insurance.

>> the cease-fire between israel and hamas, holding after 11 days of deadly fighting. craig. >> jacqui, that's right, it's two-day of the cease-fire between israel and hamas and so far, so good from this vantage point here in tel aviv, not too much trouble. go about 40 miles to the south of us into gaza and frankly, there are a lot of problems. local residents continue to pick through the rubble left from israeli bombings. more bodies are being found. the death toll there is creeping up to 250. there are reports of some arrival of humanitarian aid at least at the borders of gaza and that's much needed. people need food, water, they need medicine, they need fuel. frankly, they need shelter. in jerusalem, we are getting some reports of skirmishing in

a flash point neighborhood there. not large. secretary of state blinken is set to be in the region starting on wednesday and egyps diplomates who played a big role in putting together the cease-fire are here and meeting officials and trying to make this stick. finally, we have been watching in recent days firsthand the israeli military in action. amid those efforts though, this are progressive democrats in d.c. trying to limit u.s. military support for israel in particular, a new plan this month, 735 million dollar sale of j-dam guided missiles in light of the conduct vi-a-vis the human rights issues. and we've heard from president biden and it sounds like he's not going to budge in the direction of the progressives, it sounds like a lot of support for israel as well as the palestinians here in the region. back to you. jacqui: greg palkot, incredible reporting. thank you so much for being out

there. thanks, greg. griff: thank you, jacqui. at home. attacks across the country are stirring concerns of anti-semitism. lucas. >> increasing attacks in the united states following the violence in hamas. >> it's not israel problem, a jewish problem. it's a worldwide phenomena and american phenomena, the oldest form of racism and this is something i expect all public figures here to condemn. >> the operative word is peace. >> i'm really glad there's a cease-fire in the middle east and i have every confidence that the biden administration will make all efforts to maintain it. here in new york, peaceful protest is our hall mark and

must stay peaceful. >> some blame the rising anti-semitic attacks in new york on facebook, instagram, twitter and tik tok for instigating the violence. >> the platform is social media and it feeds on itself and there's no request that whether it's caused by the left, the silence of a lot of the media, of many political personalities, of social media influencers, when it comes to the history's oldest virus, anti-semitism, is definitely a contributing factor. >> thursday night a jewish man was beaten by a mob in midtown manhattan not far from our colleagues in new york. the victims said attacks against minorities are increasing and never in a million years will he have to second guess wear a yarmulkah in public. >> frightening stuff.

thank you, lucas. jacqui. jacqui: joining us for insight and analysis, talk show host on the radio, tony katz, things for being with us, tony. >> absolutely. jacqui: so, tony, celebrities, we saw, for instance last summer, quick to speak out against attacks on black americans, even earlier this year, attacks on asian-americans. there hasn't been as noticeable yet of an outcry over the attacks on jewish people. debra messing spoke out and twitter she says attacks on jews increased in the last 10 days, 86 attacks and hamas a terrorist organization whose sole purpose to kill every jew and destroy israel. most people in israel want peace, why haven't more people with platforms, i ask you, take up speaking about this? >> that is the great question. and the answer is, fear. if you speak out about this, you're going to have to say the following words, the issue here is not israelis and

palestinians, the issue here is hamas as a terrorist organization that wants all jews dead. when they chant from the river to the sea palestine will be free and that's genocide. you spoke to people on fox today. it's not the fault of twitter, instagram and facebook. >> eighths those who usual these. representative tlaib stood in front of the faith department and side israel is an apartheid state, which is a lie, and look at the states around it, but said they're implement being jim crow law and carson of the heartland said that's true and praised his sister rasheeda. and this is from our officials. debra messing, good on you, you put forth accurate data.

this is an incredibly well done piece that she put out in this twitter thread that she had and good on herment why we don't see more? fear for being called the wrong thing. oh, you don't understand, it's not jews hatred it's anti-zionism, anti-zionism is anti-semitism and you'd be a pool not to recognize it. jacqui: do you think people need to be educated more? sometimes they need to-- >> it never stopped them before. it didn't stop lebron james from talking about the manager of the houston rockets wasn't educated about those in hong kong. he was totally fine with doing that. i don't know if he has something to say about jews being attacked in the streets. jacqui: i want to get to another story getting a lot of attention. chicago mayor lori lightfoot

accused after media landscape only grant one-on-one interviews to journalists of color, there aren't diverse enough perspectives of news there. >> are you implying that white reporters cannot do a fair job of covering you? >> the fact that the city hall press corps is overwhelmingly white has very little in the way of diversity is an embarrassment. jacqui: isn't it just as problematic though to pick and choose who gets to cover you? how can there be accountability for government officials when they're picking their favorites? >> this is a really important story for parents all over the country who are fighting critical race theory and anti-racism, you can draw a direct line from that very, very radical kind of teaching to mayor lori lightfoot. it's a clear direct line. if you teach people to hate, if you teach everything is about bigotry, teach people not to look at individuals, but rather to group them based on color of

skin because that's what anti-racism does, it removes the individual and leaves only the color of skin and therefore, they are guilty regardless if they did something or didn't do something. the line between that kind of despicable thinking of lori lightfoot and others and parents are fighting it all over the country. jacqui: is there any merit to what she said there are a lot of white men in media, there are a lot of white men in politics? is there anything to that? >> i would answer in a couple of ways, first and foremost, maybe there should be a conversation with the employers who they employ. and then there could be a conversation who when they apply to college is interested in journalism. is there a reason that certain groups of people don't go after certain jobs? and actually look at it in terms of study, but the idea that there's something keeping people from getting engaged. look, nothing stopped davis

from saying i want to talk about these things and being an unbelievably effective voice against 85 and recording education. nothing stopped stacy washington, stacy on the right.com you hear in sirius xm saying i demand to be a part of the conversation and getting involved in them. nothing stops candace owens from saying i have something to say and i'm going to say it. there's zero stopping that anybody can point to, reporters of any persuasion getting into the game. now if a university is stopping them, well, let's all get together. jacqui: tony katz, thank you for joining us. >> a pleasure. griff: justice for a crime that shocked the country, an undocumented migrant on trial for the murder of an iowa college student next.

>> he stated that usually when he becomes angry or when he gets mad, he blacks out. so the next thing that he told me was that he remembered him driving and looking and finding the ear buds that belonged to molly and that is when he remembered that he had molly in the back of his vehicle in the trunk. griff: that was former iowa

police officer pamela ramaro, recalling when he confessed to to-- >> and joining us is bob barr and a gentleman that was born in iowa, this correct, bob? >> i was born in iowa city many years ago and even though i now live in atlanta i've actually had a number of criminal cases that i've handled in iowa over the recent years. >> well, congressman, tell us, you've been following-- we've concluded the first week of this trial for this undocumented farm worker. what are your sort of insights to what you've been following so far, of course we should point out that the defense for the undocumented worker was that he was coerced into a confession and it wasn't a confession. >> what i've seen and i've followed the trial fairly

carefully and read a lot of the reports in the media, griff, is that the police in iowa have put together very solidly, very professionally, there don't appear to me at this point to be any major defects in the police case and the way the prosecuting is presenting it, which doesn't mean it's a slam-dunk, certainly. anything can happen in any case at any time, but it does seem that having the forensic and evidence that they do have, put together a very strong case against this man. >> it has been very difficult for molly tibet's family to watch and they recounted with a power point where the body was found and they also had some surveillance footage of tibets running and a car following. we certainly have been pulling that part of it, you can see it on the screen, a lot of the evidence. one of the people though that has been a part of this is

molly tibets' former boyfriend and put him on the stand. here is a little of that. i want you to take a listen and then give your reaction. >> as early as a month before molly was abducted, you two were talking about breaking up, right? >> i do recall that, yes. >> so things weren't all rosie between you and molly in the last 30 days before her abduction, were they? >> no. >> her boyfriend saying he did not do it. your reaction, bob. >> certainly the defense is doing their job of trying to poke holes everywhere they can in the prosecution's case, but the evidence against rivera is close to overwhelming as you can get. so simply because her former boyfriend and she might have been having some argument doesn't really defeat or diminish in any way as far as i can tell the evidence against

rivera. griff: as we go into the next week, it looks like 10 day to two-week trial. what do you expect to hear? what do you think is the most important evidence to come forward? >> the most important evidence is simply the continued forensic evidence, some of which has already been presented. the fibers that were found in the trunk of his car, the blood found in the car that matched dna of the victim's and the confession itself. even though the prosecutor-- even though the defense, that is, will try to continue to poke holes in the voluntariness of the confession, i don't think that they're going to be able to defeat it. the police by all accounts i've seen, did a very good job following the strict letter of the law and not coercing this victim into confessing. >> bob with 30 seconds, i want your larger context back when this happened and now resurfacing during the trial

and his criticism because this person, rivera is a mexican national here that came illegally that perhaps this could have ties to what we're seeing in the border crisis? >> the fact that he is an illegal alien in this country points out a serious problem that we have in this country. we don't know whether any of these illegals entering our country are prone to commit crimes, apparently he was. but saying that, we want to tighten up against illegal immigration because of this crime does not make somebody a racist. it simply makes them n an advocate for strong borders and there's nothing wrong with that argument. griff: we'll continue to follow this, iowa city native bob barr, thank you for taking part on a saturday. jacqui: what president biden told our own peter doocy about the newly released video on

contrast to october-december last year. bill melugin joins us now with more. >> reporter: good afternoon to you. here where we are it's the busiest sector for border patrol all along the u.s./mexico boarer. we just found out -- border. we just found out that on wednesday morning here in this sector about 30 minutes south of where we are in hidalgo, they arrested an active ms-13 gang member, and he had an active warrant out of harris county down by the houston area for the is sexual assault of a young child. he came across with a group of 70 migrants and was mixed in with those family units but, thankfully, they were able to catch him, find his warrant. he was from el salvador. if we can pull video from la joya, texas, this is the sort of thing that happens every day like clockwork. our fox drone crew out here early this morning witnessing multiple groups of migrants

coming out of the brush where we're standing and presenting themselves to local border control here. most of them from those northern triangle countries, guatemala, honduras, el salvador. one family came from honduras, and it took them two weeks to get here. the end of a journey here, presenting themselves to border patrol. but it doesn't just happen in the daytime or early morning hours. take a look at this video from our fox crew a couple of days ago. in the dead of the night, the migrants will come across as well. this is shots of migrants crossing the rio grande on rafts. some of them with coyotes, with geese leading them -- guides leading them. they give themselves up to local border patrol as well. now, a local texas democrat out here has some concerns with how we are spending money, how we're sending it to other countries, those northern triangle countries, giving it to ngos, nongovernment organizations, to

try the fix conditions in those countries so people don't have to come to the united states. he says the federal government has to do a better job of tracking that money and making sure it's spent more effectively. take a listen. >> and my concern is that a lot of the foreign aid that we give not only central america, but around the world oftentimes gets squabbedderred, it doesn't get -- squanders, it doesn't get investment in meaningful results. we need to assure that we create conditions that create employment, security. >> reporter: and as you're looking at the live drone footage from the rio grande valley sector, keep in mind these apprehension numbers keep going up and up. last april, this april border patrol reporting they apprehended more than 187,000 migrants just for the month, that's a 20-year high. and back out here live, we told you about the active ms-13 gang member. on the same day, on wednesday, border patrol agents apprehended

a mexican migrant who was deported after 15 years, evidently he decided he wanted to come back. thankfully, they caught him. >> you've been down at the border now for a couple weeks telling this story. has anything changed since you first got there til now? >> reporter: it certainly doesn't seem like it. we were in del rio a couple of weeks ago where you saw those remarkable images of groups of migrants 50 at a time -- of 50 at a time in broad daylight with coyotes, no fear of getting caught. you come down here to the rio grande valley, this sector is way busier. every morning like clockwork my grants come out of the brush. it happens all along the border in this sector, and local border patrol agents are frustrated, exhausted. remember operation lone star

here in texas, they're having to bring local law enforcement up to help supplement the border because the numbers just keep going up and up each month. >> keep up the great reporting. thank you so much. griff: for more we're joined by former acting dhs secretary and heritage foundation visiting fellow chad wolf. mr. secretary, thank you for taking time on a saturday. i want to -- you just heard bill melugin's report about the criminals being apprehended. the chief in the del rio sector tweeted yesterday that there are 438 criminal migrants that they've apprehended just in that sector in del rio alone of which 77 are sex offenders, 7 convicted murderers. that's just one is sector. mr. secretary, how concerned are you that with these overwhelming numbers we haven't seen in two decades is letting in an unknown amount of criminals? >> well, it's absolutely a

concern. we have a humanitarian crisis going on at that border, but within that is also a security crisis. so more and more that law enforcement is not on the line doing their national security mission and they're in border patrol stations caring for these migrants, these family units and these minors, the less agents that we have on the line looking for these criminals and stopping that illegal flow. so there's certainly a security account aspect here that's very, very concerning. we know from experience going back to 2019 and even earlier, we know when you have a large number of individuals coming to the border every single day and night, we know that bad people try to hide themselves within that flow. so i'm glad to hear that border patrol is able to identify some of these folks, but there's a large number of folks every single day, over a thousand, closer to two thousand, that are what we call got-aways. these are individuals that are never encountered by border patrol. so that's what concerns me, because you don't know if those

are family units, ms-13 members, if they're terrorists and others. so there's certainly a security aspect to that border that is certainly a concern during this humanitarian crisis. griff: well, sure it is. and as our viewers are looking, that's our drone footage in the rgv sector, and they go right through that wall opening, and they go to the farm to market road over to highway 2, straight up north and all over the country. you talk about the got-aways, let's talk about the number released. we're now hearing more than 61,000 migrants have been released into the united states since february compared to 364 in the president trump's last year. that is a startling number. your reaction. >> it absolutely is a startling number, and it's a direct result of the policies that this administration has put in place over the last four months. if you're a minor, you going to

get released into the united states. if you're a family unit, you are likely going to be released into the united states. so what does that do? that incentivizes you to grab a child and try to claim across that border and claim you're a family unit because you know you will be released into the interior of the united states, and that's your goal at the end of the day. and that's what this administration is facilitating. and once you get here, you will not be removed because again, this administration has put the handcuffs of i.c.e. and law enforcement agents. they cannot remove illegals unless you're a serious aggravated felon or you're a terrorist -- griff: exactly. and we've only got about a minute left, mr. secretary, but we have seen, of course, president biden rejecting the abolish i.c.e. calls early on politically, but it seems that many of the things from the number of deportations down 60% to the really taking away

enforcement tools for i.c.e. that they've done just that, abolish them. >> absolutely. i think the administration's just paying lip service to we're not going to abolish i.c.e. everything that they have done, the policies that we put in place, they're now going back on private detention facilities, so they're trying to rereduce the number of facilities out there. every single policy that they have done is to tear down i.c.e.'s ability to do their job at the end of the day. so instead of congress changing the law, which they won't do because they don't have a consensus, this administration is trying to do it through executive order and through policy. it's wrong, it's dangerous, and we're not protecting our communities like we should. griff: former dhs acting secretary chad wolf, thank you for your time. >> thank you. >> a top hamas leader in gaza seen in public for the first time since fighting began earlier this month. this on the first full day of the ceasefire between israel and the palestinians. mike tobin is live in east

jerusalem with an update for us. mike? >> reporter: and, jacqui, fresh clashes between police and demonstrators here in east jerusalem, this is a remnant of a rubber bullet that was fired by the israeli police at the palestinian demonstrators. what i have here is the pin off of a stun grenade. the fact that there are new clashes here very relevant, because the latest round of major fighting was sparked by demonstrations here in this neighborhood. there was an attempt to evict some palestinians from a home here, that led to demonstrations here which spilled over to other israeli towns, and that ultimately led to the demonstrations at the holy site which inspired the rocket fire out of gaza. at the moment here in east jerusalem, things are calm. the damage assessment continues in the gaza strip, and it is staggering. upwards of 250 people are dead, and palestinian authorities expect that number to rise because they continue to pull people off the rubble. one of the things that has changed the approach from

washington. president biden has said that the money to rebuild gaza will flow through mahmoud abbas and the fatah party despite the fact that hamas controls the gaza strip. this effort to flow the money through the fatah party is a rather overt attempt to try to empower the moderates in fatah. here's the president. >> it's essential that the palestinians on the west bank be secured, that abbas be recognized as the leader of the palestinian people, which he is. hamas is a terrorist organization, we recognize that. that doesn't mean we should not be in gaza rebuilding gaza for all those innocent people who, in fact, have been hurt and have been collateral damage. >> reporter: u.s. secretary of state antony blinken is expected in the region sometime next week. the egyptian mediators have already been in gaza, and they've moved all the way up to the west bank to meet with

mahmoud abbas, all of it in an effort to make the ceasefire turn into a truce with a little more longevity. but evidenced by the clashes that we've seen here in east jerusalem where it all began, that ceasefire is very fragile. jacqui? >> thank you so much for that report. griff? griff: live pictures from jerusalem where you see here protesters gathering outside israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu's office. we're following this story and bringing you updates as we get them. it's 12 minutes after 8 p.m. there. you can see a large gathering. they've been there, we're told, a little over an hour. we'll keep monitoring this and bring you the latest as we get it. meanwhile, democrats are becoming increasingly divided over biden's middle east policy with progressives saying the president isn't doing enough to support palestinians. mark meredith is at the white house tracking it all.

hi, mark. >> reporter: good afternoon. president biden and senior democrats are dismissing the idea that democrats as a whole are not united behind israel. but before this latest ceasefire was reached, we heard from a number of progressive lawmakers that wanted the white house to rethink its military and financial support for israel. on friday, he praised his diplomatic team for trying to broker the latest end to the bloodshed. vermont senator bernie sanders is also among those praising the pause in fighting; however, sanders says the u.s. has to do a lot more to prevent future violence. he's pushing a resolution to block the sale of a weapons package to israel. as mike tobin mentioned, we are expecting the secretary of state to meet with israeli and palestinian officials in the region. president biden even admitted that long-term peace still appears far out of reach. >> let's get something straight here. until the region says unequivocally they acknowledge the right of israel to exist as

an independent jewish state, there will be no peace. >> reporter: now, we are hearing from a number of republicans who are speaking out in firm support of israel but also criticizing democrats who spent the week questioning the u.s.' longstanding commitment to the jewish state. >> i think at least half the democrats are hostile to israel, the rest of them are afraid of those who are hostile to israel. it's important to remember israel is up against a terrorist organization. hamas does not represent palestinians. it's a terrorist organization. >> reporter: here at the white house the president said on friday that he prays this ceasefire is going to hold. we we did not hear from the president today as he left for camp david, but he'll be back here at the white house tomorrow night. griff? griff: mark meredith at the white house, thank you very much. ♪♪ >> defense secretary lloyd austin addressing the west point graduating class of 2021 this morning telling the ca decembers

♪ griff: new york police unions firing back as the state's attorney general, letitia james, endorsed a democrat-sponsored bill that would limit officers' ability to use deadly force. this as concerns grow over anti-police sentiment nationwide. lauren green has details from new york. good afternoon. >> reporter: hey, griff. new york city's police union president is warning the city will become even more dangerous if the attorney general's crime bill, the new crime bill becomes law. on friday with eric garner's mother at her side, the attorney general, letitia james with, announced sweeping legislation aimed at elementing officer's' -- limiting officers' ability to use lethal force, mandating it be used as a last resort. all other tactics would need to be deployed first. it also imposes new criminal penalties on police officers who use excessive force. but in a statement, patrick

lynch said: this sweeping proposal would make it impossible for police officers to determine whether or not we are permitted to use force in a given situation. and the changes come in the wake of several high profile police-involved shootings of african-americans. protests calling for the defunding of police have echoed across the country and in the halls of congress where the squad, far-left liberal wing of the democratic party, nearly derailed a huge funding bill to strengthen capitol police. anti-police sentiment has weakened police departments across the country as officers quit the force. police say it is a bad time to be clamping down on officers as violent crime rates in several major cities have gob up dramatically -- gone up dramatically. griff? grave -- griff: lauren glean, thank you very much. >> joining us now is joe grimaldi. thank you so much for being with us. we're going to share some stats

with you looking at the top five cities that have seen a rise in crime. you've seen just a massive increase in portland, los angeles county, minneapolis, atlanta, philadelphia. i mean, look at portland, 800% year to date change compared to philadelphia at the bottom of that top five list, still a 38% change year to date. that's a huge number. and now we're also hearing about police officers in various cities quitting in the last year. what are your thoughts on all this? >> well, yeah, i mean, absolutely, it's a massive number. and what we're seeing is these cities that are deciding to defund the police, they're seeing huge spikes in homicide. as you said, philadelphia, 38%. washington, d.c., 35%. portland, 800%. minneapolis, 56%. and in seattle they're seeing the highest murder rate they've seen in over 30 years. and we need to as a society stop

pretending like defunding the police is you are rational policy -- irrational policy positions to have. we've seen murder rates, over 20,000 murders last year. it's the highest we've seen in a generation, and yet we continue to hear defund the police, and the very people that are responsible for responding, mitigating and then investigating those homicides. i mean, it is complete insanity to keep talking about defunding the police, but that's where we are nowadays in this country where, apparently, two plus two equals five. >> all right. what can be done to recruit and retain officer? want to play you some sound from the kansas city mayor. listen. >> i do not think the fraternal order of police speaks for kansas city any more than some of the activist groups on the left. when you are a mayor, you actually have have to make decisions. >> they want to cut the police budget there. what say you? >> yeah. once again, completely ridiculous. homicides are up 40% in kansas

city over the last two years. and what this mayor is actually trying to do, it's going to cut hundreds of police positions from kansas city. and if this mayor even bothered to take a poll of his area, he'd know that defunding the police is a complete loser because, in fact, our communities want more police officers there. they don't want less. but speaking to the recruitment and retention issues that we have, the morale has never been worse in policing than it is right now. and in addition, we have had 119 police officers shot in this country this year which is actually a 20% increase over 2020 which was a historic year. so when we talk about recruitment and retention, retention, forget it. 75% increase in the nypd, seattle's seen 20% of their force walk off. and as far as recruitment, new jersey state police just said they saw 90% reductions in applications, and a recent study in colorado just showed that 70% of agencies said the recruitment is tanking. it's a complete disaster. we're in the middle of a perfect

storm, and we're not going to find anybody to take these jobs anymore. >> well, there's another section of the democratic party working with the republican party -- not the folks calling to defund police. they don't tend to support police reform bills that is looking at, but there's this issue of qualified immunity. with just 30 seconds left, is that going to deter people from wanting to become a police officer if qualified immunity goes away? >> i think if qualified immunity goes away, it would certainly impact officers wanting to take the job. but the national fraternal order of police stands ready to have a fact-based discussion with anybody on either side of the aisle that wants to have it. and i believe there's reasonable compromises that can be made to make sure that we all move forward on a path where we want to reduce officer-involved shootings in this country. it's the goal that everybody wants to reach. but if we're going to sit down and talk about it, we have to talk about the actions of the other individual on that scene with that officer. that has to be a part of the

conversation because they ultimately determine how much force an officer may or may not use. and if we don't address that, we're going to be caught in this perpetual doom cycle we find ourselves in. >> joe grimaldi, thank you so much for being with us. appreciate your time. >> thanks for having me. griff: here we go, the atlantic has its first named storm of the hurricane season. that's next. ♪ ♪ it would be cool to ride a horse on the moon.

saturday. great piece. who are the cranky democrats? whywhy are they so mad? >> they're me, bill maher and john mcquarter. i based the conversation off of bill maher's show a few weeks ago, and the main focus of their conversation was this white fragility versus black fragility, but they started talking about how they think of themselves as crank key democrats. these are not people who are going to start turning around and voting for republicans, they may not even sit elections out, but they sit there and are scratching their heads saying why are we having a national conversation about issues that don't really apply or matter to a broad swath of americans, which we know is how you win elections, you put up popular policies that apply and appeal to a majority of people, and that's how joe biden won his election. griff: jessica, when it comes to the midterms, you have such

narrow margins in the house, a one-seat margin in the senate. how big of an impact do you think the defund the police, this cancel culture stuff will actually play? >> i think it could have a very real impact. whip clyburn, the third most powerful democrat in the house, came out in november and said that defund the police cost us seats. other congress people like abigail spam berger was caught on tape talking about the negative impact of that on her own race which she barely squeaked by, and we lost a lot of other seats. here we lost our seat in staten island, for instance, over issues where people just said i'm fed up with talking about these issues that just don't appeal to us. and when you talk about defund police, which i think is the most egregious example, it's talked about regularly by hemoon the far left of my party, only 34% of democrats are in sport of

it -- support of it and only 28 president of black americans. the conversation about reforming the police, that is broadly popular, and we need to have it, we need to talk about criminal justice reform, talk about changing some of the rules that we have certainly in the prison system, how police behave. but saying defund the police, it's just a. nonstarter in terms of engendering support from voters. griff: and to be fair, jessica, do you believe that democrats and rib law schools wholly -- liberals wholly own this cancel culture or do conservatives and republicans as well? >> oh, absolutely. and i do in the piece draw a line, a distinction between what i think is real cancel culture and faux cancel culture. josh hawley talking about how his book deal got canceled is faux. that's not about the government, and that's a decision private companies made. conservatives are supposed to be for the free market. there's been no cancellation of dr. seuss. that's ridiculous are. but someone like -- who now is 18 or 19 years old, a white

teenager at 15 years old she used a racial slur in a snapchat video. she apologized for it, certainly seemed to have owned her mistake, and when she was applying for college, someone in her class went ahead and resurfaced the video, sent it to the college she had been accepted to, and her admission was rescinded. that story got widespread blowback from people on both sides of the aisle. i certainly do not condone a racial slur, but minnie groves deserves to go to college. why are we doing this? why is this happening? griff: with just 30 seconds, i'm going to unfairly ask you a question that needs more time, but do democrats have a kamala harris problem at the ballot box? she's shifted in what she wants to be, taking a heat for not holding a press conference in 60 days, doesn't want to visit our southwest border. do you see it as a problem? >> i don't, but i certainly think she needs to take on a

more prominent public role in terms of speaking directly to the american people more consistently so that when 2024 comes around and even for the midterms she is a more popular figure within the party. it only hopes joe biden who's been doing a great job. griff: well, i'm not sure, just to push back quickly, that border democrats like henry cuellar and others would agree with you because she's been tapped to handle this crisis, and she's not. >> well, she's actually been tapped to handle the crisis in the northern triangle countries. it's very similar, actually, to the role that joe biden had when he was serving as vp to barack obama. but i've said repeatedly i think she should go to the border, i think it's important to see what's going on there, and border democrats are always good at holding people to account and republicans like will hurd who's now retired were good at that, so she certainly needs to get more involved. griff: jessica tarlov, great piece, great insight, and i would encourage our viewers to check it out at thehill.com.
