i'm in for eric shawn. we're following two big stories this hour. the my grant surge continues at the border. and a mexican national who came to the u.s. as an illegal immigrant found guilty in the murder of mollie tibbetts. we will hear from one of the jurors. arthel: we have live fox news team coverage. alex hogan on the mollie tibbetts case and aishah hasnie following the worder crisis -- border crisis. but first, charles watson as the travel surges, what's happening there, charles? >> reporter: arthel, it's been consistently busy here at douglas international airport. you probably wouldn't know it because the lines are a lot smaller, but i promise you there were long lines this morning for as far as the eye can see. this is an indication that the airports expect ourlines were

ready for the -- and the airlines were ready for the memorial day crush. american airlines alone expects 300,000 customers to fly with them from charlotte. as you look at the national picture, airlines are expecting to see crowds comparable to pre-pandemic levels with more than 2.5 million people traveling by plane to memorial day weekend destinations according to aaa. and for some, that's a positive sign. >> well, honestly, i forgot what an airline looks like. very big. >> it's really crowded. >> i think it's nice being back here and knowing that things are going back to normal. >> reporter: and, you know, the airlines are really brushing up against that 2.5 million number. the tsa screened more than 1.9 million people yesterday alone, the largest single-day number

since the start of the pandemic. but with the demand of travel up and a national labor shortage, people are most certainly going to be paying more in figuring out what works best for them financially. >> now starting to see a slight uptick in the prices of air. so really it's become a matter of economics, particularly for a family of four. they really need to determine, you know, how much you're going to pay airfare, all the protocols that are in place versus jumping in your car and getting on the road. >> reporter: and, you know, prices may be going up, but service is lagging as the hospitality industry struggles to get folks back to work. that means fewer choices at restaurants, lengthy lines at airports like we saw this morning and at hotel counters. republicans are pointing at the $300 federal unemployment benefit as the issue, but the other argument the labor shortage is a sign that wages need to go up to attract more people back to work.

and, arthel, whatever the case may be, that's not stopping the folks we see here in the airport. from traveling to their memorial day destination. although the delays and higher prices may cause a headache and stretch your wallet a little bit. arthel: so you have to pack your patience and your manners. i'm serious, y'all. we can't be fight at the airports. all right, charles, not you, i know.

river a little choppy, and just behind me -- i don't know if you can see -- do the u.s. coast guard just launched who two boats to patrol the river. these border crossings as they continue could become dangerous sometime today. now, i want to show you some incredible new video we got from delery rio, texas, showing migrant families coming across the river and really showing how dangerous it could be for them because there's an officer in this video grabbing a ahold of a baby and taking that baby to safety. just really shows you how dangerous it can be for these families. the president, as you mentioned, getting some heat for announcing these dedicated dockets, judges that would fast track these asylum cases for families who are crossing the border now. according to multiple reports, some 60 immigration advocacy groups though are complaining about these dockets saying that they're only going to result in denials and deportations. these groups would rather see the administration just end title 42 altogether and fully

reopen the immigration courts instead. the question, benjamin, though is will that be enough? brandon judd, the president of the national border patrol council, told neil cavuto earlier this morning the fact of the matter still stands, the border is wide open. >> we've had more than 125,000 got-aways. that's not a closed border. that's a border that is extremely porous, that's a border where anybody can make it into the united states, get relief just by claiming asylum or trying to evade apprehension. and, again, 125,000 people have gotten away. that's an open border. >> reporter: and also, benjamin, here on the ground the other big question is when is title 42 going to be rescinded. a lot of folks have been telling me they're worried that when that happens, they're going to see a huge surge that they're not prepared for. benjaminning? benjamin: remarkable. we've had teams down on the

translating into spanish for hill. it's been nearly three years since the university of iowa student was killed while out for a run, police finding her body stabbed in a cornfield. >> we just spoke to the family for a few minutes afterwards. they, they're relieved, they're please with the verdict. >> reporter: other reaction already, chuck grassley tweeting: eye ion's -- iowans hearts broke in 2018. justice was served. conversations, something the jury tried to leave out of the deliberation room. >> hispanic culture, what we really had to do was put all of our emotions to the side. that's not what it was about. it wasn't about our own personal beliefs and stuff like that. we had to look at the evidence and the facts and stuff like that based off of that was how we made our decision. >> reporter: he claimed two

dropped its efforts to restore the death penalty. they said, quote: while the family of laci and connor believe there is no doubt that the defendant's conduct warrants the death penalty and the defendant is deserving of the punishment of death, the family has decided this process is simply too painful to indoor once again. lacey peterson was 27 years old and eight months pregnant on christmas eve of 2002 when she disappeared. her husband was later convicted of murdering her and their unborn child and sentenced to death in 2005. but last year his death penalty was thrown out but the state supreme court because potential jurors were excluded after saying that they disagreed with the death penalty. but as it turns out, laci's family might be put through another new trial anyway. a judge is considering whether to grant a new trial because a juror failed to kiss close that she -- disclose that she sought a restraining order against her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. that juror said she feared for

her unborn child. now the judge will decide if this qualifies as juror misconduct and if it's prejudicial enough to warrant a new trial. scott peterson maintains his innocence. a hearing is scheduled next tuesday on the potential juror misconduct and whether a new trial should be allowed. the judge says she hopes to make a decision this year, and it's unclear if prosecutors will seek the death penalty again if there is a new trial. benjamin? benjamin: another big trial for us to be following. thank you. arthel: and we have a happy ending to a story about a missing woman. christine hammondtree was last seen getting into a car in times square. her parents reported her missing on tuesday. police and other sources now say the 29-year-old from maine has been found safe and sound at a hostel in queens. detectives found the driver of the car, and the nypd considers the case closed.

♪ benjamin: president biden unveiling his $6 of trillion budget proposal. it includes more money for just about every agency in the federal government and would push debt to the highest level since world war ii. the administration's looking to pay for that with tax hikes. mark meredith's breaking down the numbers live in wilmington, delaware. >> reporter: absolutely, benjamin. do you have a couple hours? that's how big this budget is. it would take a lot of time to go through it. democrats are applauding what they are see, but republicans say not only are they disgusted with what's included in it, but they're also upset with the price tag. it is a mass e budget, and it includes proposals to spend a lot of money on infrastructure as well as money to address the president's spending plan. we'd also see money go out to the cdc, money to address opioids as well as gun violence. the president put out a statement about this saying where we choose to invest speaks to what we value as a nation.

this year's budge, the first of my presidency, is a statement of values that define our nation at its best. while the white house insists tax increases on some americans as well as corporations to help pay for this, republicans are far from convinced. they argue such spending will push the country even further into debt. and one nonpartisan watchdog group is also concerned. the committee for a responsible federal budget says rather than putting the debt on a table and then downward path relative to the economy, the president's budget would blow past the prior record and increase debt levels to 117% of gdp by 2031. other lawmakers are also sounding the alarm. >> we're already seeing higher prices, but this kind of spending will insure that everybody's paying more for their houses, their rent, their groceries. you name it, prices will go up. >> reporter: the president's economic team insists inflation may be temporary this year as

the country moves past the pandemic. they don't believe there is going to be a long-term issue, but there is a lot of talk about a what consumers are seeing on everything from from the grocery store to gas pump. as for president biden, he is here in delaware for the holiday weekend. they just called a lid meaning we're not going to see the president today, but we do expect to hear from hum tomorrow. benjamin: the days of big government, they're well and truly back. thank you. arthel: mark meredith says it's going the take days to go through the budget. i got time today. let's bring in john bussey, fox news contributor. all right, john, the biggie is infrastructure. how can lawmakers agree to fund it when they can't agree on the definition of what is infrastructure? i mean, can they get this done and get it funded? >> yeah. they'll probably take some kind of compromise, arthel, on infrastructure. it seems to be moving in that direction anyway. the republicans wouldn't get exactly what they want, but

probably land someplace in between. remember are, the budget is really the president's wish list. this is kind of the signal of what the president and the administration wants ooh to do during its time in office. the congress can take the budget, put it on top of the filing cabinet and not look at it again. the country is funded through appropriations bills that the congress passes. so i think what you've seen in the president's budget is some expectations that he's setting for priorities for his administration. remember also that the bulk of what the u.s. spends every year, what our tax dollars go into, are nondiscretionary. they're kind of fixed costs; medicare, social security payments to the elderly, medicaid for the poor. those are the bug, -- big, kind of the bulk of the budget. discretionary spending, what the president can choose to spend money on, it's going to go up. ing.

8.4% is what he wants it to go up, 1.5-2 trillion of that $6 trillion budget, so that includes that 8.4% increase. you know, already a lot of that goes to the defense department. so the president doesn't have a huge amount of wiggle room on what to spend money on. arthel: right. you said it's mostly a wish list. so let's look at some of the items on that list, if you will. president biden is pushing to raise the corporate tax rate to 28%. it's currently 21%. mr. biden also wants to nearly double the capital gains tax rate, and he wants to bring back that top individual income tax rate of 39.6% as well as impose a global minimum on u.s. companies' foreign profits. so, john, where in this list might president biden find success, and which items are just absolute nonstarters? >> well, the gop and republicans are not in favor of tax increases. mind you, the increase in the

corporate tax up to 28% from 2 is1% is --21% is still below what it was in 2017. in 20it was 35%. -- 2017 it was 35%. they're going to that try to recoup some of that money from companies and spend it on building bridges, on bringing broadband to rural sectors, on things that would enhance the economy and pay back through more economic growth, therefore, more taxes, more revenue if such that you might not have to raise taxes in the future. so on taxes he's going to have a hard time with the gop. on some of the spending issues too, he's going to have a hard time with republicans. he wants to lower the age for access to medicare from 60 to 65. he wants to expand medicare to services that it doesn't provide right now. those are all big ticket items. the gop, the republicans might be o.k. on fixing bridges. they may not be okay on raising

taxes and expanding pending on things like -- spending on things like additional schools, preschool or funding two years of community college as he wishes to do through taxpayer dollars. arthel: education's big, but that aside for now, last question for you with, john. based on president biden's overarching goal for the economy, for the american citizens, are there any items that both parties can approve and gain political capital? and politics aside, can president biden still -- or sell the exorbitant debt levels to the american people in. >> well, i think it comes back to infrastructure. who doesn't want the potholes repaired in the highways? that is something that republicans tried to do something about during the trump administration. you're going to probably see compromise there. you may see some compromise on taxes. the increase on individuals would be at the very high end, it would be on the wealthy.

there might be some accommodation there. on the debt, mind you, the deficit is likely to be below what it was the at the end of the last fiscal year which was last october in the last administration. in other words, the deficit would drop. but over the years, the national debt would increase to levels above what they were during as a percentage of our gdp, as a percentage of total economic activity in the united states above what they were in world war ii. those are beginning to get concerning numbers. the administration says economic rebound has been robust, and as a result of successful vaccination rates the economic rebound may be even stronger than they expected. so perhaps some of the numbers were a bit too conservative and won't rise as much. a. arthel: really quickly, i have to go but when you compared the budget to world war ii, is that a father comparison given that our way of life -- a fair

comparison given that our lives are completely different than it was then and our needs in. >> so the administration would say you need the sort of economic attention to the well-being of the individual that was required during the world war ii era not just on war spending, but you saw that in the new deal in the 1930s. there are elements of in that feel like a new deal. there are social problems the united states has had, and it has not addressed. this administration is attempting to address can. it's going to be controversial. it'll be a difficult wrestling match with republicans in congress. arthel: okay. just asking questions. john bussey, we have to go, but it's always a pleasure to talk to you for your reporting. i appreciate it. >> you bet.ben ben i'm going to share a story of my own family on this memorial day and why it means so much to us. you see, my father was born and raised in the philippines. when he was 9 years old, the japanese took over the city, and

a brutal occupation began. the japanese, in fact, killed my grandmother, my great grand parents, but my father, his father and his youngest siblings -- you see my father on the right there -- they stayed alive x they lived in the japanese camps. in 1945 the battle of manila began, and general macarthur came in to retake the city. it was some of the heaviest fighting of world war ii. as that battle reached its peak, my father was alone with a group of children in the city, and he decided they had to make a break for the american line. he was just 12 the, his sister was only 7, so they set off running in the direction of the american front lines. one of the boys they were with just a few accept steps ahead of my father was shot dead, and my father looked up, and at the end of the road, there was an american g.i. screaming at them to run, to run, which they did. they made it across, they were hoisted up by these american g.i.s from the 37th infantry x they were saved. 1,010 american soldiers gave

their lives recapturing manila, and we have always said it was thanks to the bravery of those soldiers that my father survived the war and i am here today. a few years later my father came to america, enrolled the u.s. army, joined the 7th infantry. for me on this memorial day, i just want to pay tribute from my family to everyone else for the sacrifices so many american soldiers have made and just remember sometimes they're out. there on the front lines for families they don't know. me and my family are here as proof of that, and we are eternally grateful. thank you from all of us. arthel: thank you for sharing your story, benjamin. you know, war is complex, you know? we fight each other and then we later become allies. benjamin: we do, and that's absolutely got to be the hope all the time. i feel that we're entering a period now where, you know, there are enemies on horizon. we mustn't let that slip. thank you to our armed forces, and i speak as an american citizen, everything they do for us and continue doing for us.

♪♪ >> we know that they were engaged in efforts that were connected to the people's liberation army inside of that laboratory. so military activity being perform alongside what they claim was just good old civilian research are. they refused to tell us what it was, they refused to describe the nature of either of those, they refused to allow access to the world health organization when it tried to get in there. benjamin: former secretary of state mike pompeo on "fox & friends" discussing reports that u.s. intelligence knew china's wuhan lab was a bioweapons facility. president biden this week asked the intelligence community to redouble efforts to collect and analyze information on the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

meantime, chinas has announced it will not support or take part in a world health organization probe of those origins. joining me now is congressman jim banks, chairman of the republican study committee, a member of the house armed services and veteran affairs committee. congressman, thank you so much for being with us today. we look back just a year, congressman, and the idea this came from a lab was considered a conspiracy theory. you were talking about it, senator cotton, the president were talking about it. what's changed? how this sudden u-turn? >> nothing's changed. that's the incredible part of all this. the evidence a year ago compared to today is not any different. the only thing that's changed is that donald trump is no longer in office, in the white house, and that's the bottom line here. the fact that donald trump is gone and the pressure that this administration has felt in the last couple of weeks to dig into the origins of covid-19 so that we can make sure that something like this never happens again and hold those responsible, in

this case the chinese communist party. and now he's succumbing to that pressure and has engaged in the subject a little built. but the only thing that's changed is donald trump is gone, and this no longer fits the narrative that the democrats have used for the better part of over a year to blame donald trump instead the of those who are ultimately responsible who we need to hold accountable. benjamin: also last year then-candidate biden said in the debate, he said if he were president, he would call up president xi and tell them our team was coming over to china, and we'd get to the bottom of it. how forceful has he been? are they going to get to the bottom of this? >> well, this is a situation that's exactly what joe biden told us it would be as a candidate. if you recall, joe biden dismissed china as a threat. also remember that nancy pelosi refused to join in with kevin mccarthy's china task force, which i was a part of. it was supposed to be bipartisan, but the democrats

refused to participate. this is a situation we're seeing play out, we knew -- we talked about during the campaign that joe biden told us would be the case. they be will continue to play footsie with the chinese communist party and with xi and the other leadership in china because the donors and those who put democrats in power to begin with, they require the democrats to play footsie with china. the big tech companies and the multi-national corporations in this country who donated to democrats and is made joe biden president of the united states today, they require -- they rely on the profits that they receive from, with their deals in china. so we're not going to see anything come of this 90-day plan if really, it's too little too late. and based, by the way, on the track record of the biden administration with the ongoing crisis at the border which we've seen nothing come out of vice president harris being appointed to go down to the border, she hasn't even been to the border. what are they going to dobe as ?

based on the track record of that and everything else that's come out of this administrationr breath that they'll do anything about holding those accountable for the origins of covid-19 either. ben wen okay. but if we did discover, if there was ed that showed this criers came from the lab whether it was intentional or not, whether the communist chinese party resulting in the deaths of 3.5 million people around the world, what action should be taken in how can we hold china accountable? >> at the very least, we should be sending a bill to china for the sheer cost of trillions and trillions of dollars that this, that this country has incurred due to this pandemic. but on top of that, we have to o do the very basic things that we've been talking about doing for a long time, and that's disentangling our economy with the greatest existential net we face in america today -- threat we face in america today, china.

and yet we have entities in america that are investing in china's military. these are common sense measures we should be taking. the biden administration and speaker pelosi have no interest in holding china accountable for any of their negligence due to this or anything else china has done to disrupt our economy. once again, their doe e nor base -- donor base are so close and entangled with china's trade deals that allow for our jobs and intellectual property to be stolen by china, the democrats are never going to do anything about it. >> congressman, i have to get your opinions on memorial day. you served in the navy reserves in afghanistan. what does this day mean to you? >> memorial day is always a somber occasion especially having served in afghanistan with some who didn't come home. i think of sergeant major turner, for example, someone who i served with who was killed in afghanistan who didn't get to

come home like i was lucky to be able to do myself. this has always been a somber occasion, but for me, this is even more somber this year because when the party in power in this country, the democrat party, has advanced the critical race theory and the woke ideology coming from the left that teaches our children that america is e vivid and rooted in racism, it makes occasions like memorial day when we should be revering and respecting those whose ultimate sacrifice made this country the greatest country in the history of the world. instead, we're teaching our kids something that's contrary to that. we lose a little bit of our patriotism or maybe a lot when we teach our kids that america is evil. i especially think about that and that those who a paid the ultimate sacrifice deserve so much better. benjamin: congressman, important thought. thank you, sur, for your service -- sir, for your service and have a wonderful weekend with your family. take care. >> thank you. arthel: well, a member of britain's royal family getting a

covid vaccination as the government there steps up inoculations and prepares to ease lockdown restrictions. health officials are warning everyone to remain cautious with a new infection level nearing a two the month high, and many of the vulnerable have not yet been fully immunized. kitty logan is live in london with more on this. kitty? >> reporter: hi there. yes, the u.k. is due to fully lift restrictions in about three weeks' time, but there are increasing concerns about this new india variant which seems to be treading faster -- spreading faster. the u.k. reported 3,398 new cases and 7 deaths, that is the highest figure in two months. and a majority of those new cases are this in india -- new india variant. so far 389 million people have had their -- 39 million people have had their first dose in the u.k., the race is on to complete the vaccination program before those cases rise furtherment.

>> we are working as fast as we can to get people to have both jabs. very important and, thankfully, the uptake is very high. but the second thing is that we monitor these new variants really, really carefully to check the effectiveness of the vaccines against them. >> reporter: and the duchess of cambridge received her first vaccine today. the hope is other young people might follow her example. and elsewhere in europe restrictions are slowly easing too. in italy, the papal palace gardens reopened to the public though the country is also still reporting over 3,000 covid cases a day. the virus has even reached base camp below mount everest, an outbreak forcing climbers in their tents. authorities not closing that camp. around 3.5 million people have died of coronavirus around the world. the hope is here in the u.k.

of the country. typically when you see warm air and cold air meet, that is where we see some rain. it has been a soggy one across the east coast. that's going to continue, unfortunately, for a good chunk of the weekend. we see rain from the mid-atlantic getting through new york city, up into new england. that is going to move so slow, and we're going to see kind of off and on rounds of rain. this is our future forecast taking you into early sunday morning. not a lot of movement there, so more off and on heavy showers. very slowly lifting up the coast, perhaps by monday you start to drew out a little bit in some -- dry out a little bit in some of the areas. as i said, moves so slow that it takes a while to get a little sunshine perhaps on memorial day. it's not the only spot, this is your forecast across the entire country. dry in the middle of the country through the midwest and the southeast is, but you get over into the plains and, again, rounds of heavy rain on sunday

and on monday. we're talking about probably a soggy memorial day there, and i'll leave you with your forecast on memorial day as well. it does warm up a little bit, 80 degrees in atlanta, a little warmer up into the midwest. 75 degrees in chicago, but still a whole lot of rain in portions of texas we'll be paying attention to, hopefully driving off by then on the east coast, but there is more rain on the way. of course we will be watching it. back out to you, ben -- benjamin. benjamin: thanks, adam. arthel: all right. this memorial day weekend we're remembering the contributions and sacrifices many japanese immigrants and their american-born children made during world war ii. our next guest will share stories about four real heroes and their families. that's just ahead. ♪

working on the book, it began to become more urgent to me that the story be with told, let's say. i got into it because after my previous book, i was casting around for a subject, and i began to look at the oral histories of japanese-americans during world war ii. and i was really drawn to many of the stories. these are stories of earnest, young americans who found themself in a really challenging situation at the beginning of the war being japanese-american, wanting in many cases to serve. so i wound up collecting four different young men and following them through the course of the war. arthel: now, you know, for those who are not students of history of generally curious people, why would you recommend they read this book? i mean, is there a lesson of compassion in the pages of your

book? >> i think there is. i think, i think if you get to know these four young men and their families -- the book really is about the families as well as these individual young men -- i think as readers, i hope as a reader gets to know them a lot of the history that we've sort of all heard about and read about will become more personal. and it's really interesting for somebody like me to start the seeing through the eyes of young americans who happen to be of japanese dissent. descent. i learned a lot by listening to their firsthand accounts but also just by sort of reflecting on what they went through. that's really what it's all about for me. arthel: what did you learn? >> you know, i learned first of all and above all, i think, that these were extremely courageous young men. it was very -- immediately after pearl harbor, jalapeno news-americans were --

japanese-americans were not allowed to enlist in the u.s. military. and that was true for the next year. but in early 1943, the army created a regimental combat team, an all japanese-american unit. these guys were incredibly courageous. they were incredibly good fighters. they wound up being what many people count as the most decorated unit of its size and length of service. so the story of the book is full of examples of just extraordinary courage both on the battlefield and also off the battlefield. arthel: and again, talking lessons that could be extracted from your book, applying to where we are in life today the, how we las vegas live -- how we live our lives, where we live our lives which is, fortunately, anywhere we want to, what's the final takeaway? >> you know, i think the final

takeaway is at the end of the day americans, so many americans i'm writing about all have a pretty common set of expectations beyond the obvious divisions in this country. but to me, the story is kind of a unifying one. it's a story about bringing people together. and i come out of it having learned about these young men in particular, i come out of it with a sort of renewed sense of optimism about what can be done in this country in the face of absolutely extraordinary, extraordinarily difficult odds. arthel: well, we appreciate your time and thank you for joining us. daniel james brown, take care. >> thank you. arthel: we'll be right back. ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,
