11:18 am
since president biden put her in charge of handling the border crisis, vice president harris is traveling to central america this weekend to try and address the influx. she will stop and guatemala before she heads to mexico city. this comes as the biden administration is formally rescinding the trump era remain in mexico policy for asylum acres. greg abbott issued a disaster declaration of 34 counties, he cites violent crime from the influx. property damage, threat to public health and violation of the loan start state sovereignties, what will the trip achieve? michael is with us, you visited this week, 27th congressional district. first, your visit to the border, what did you see? >> the one thing that you see that's obvious border security
11:19 am
apparatus is completely overwhelmed. compare our resources, it's astounding. they are doing the best they can with what they have without the wealth from the administration to help secure the border, it's really challenging and cartels are making hundreds of millions of dollars a month. they are outmanned, our borders securities out man, we have to turn this around and take seriously was going on at the border. eric: the vice president going, she's not going to el salvador or honduras. [laughter] what you expect will be achieved from her sitting down with officials there? >> she says she's looking for root cause but anyone knows his there's root causes, the place she needs to go is the border. you get to see the stories and one of the challenges for those of us who have been, conveying the stories of how bad it is
11:20 am
because people think you're embellishing to where you are beginning to just scratch the surface. where the wall is, we all know inauguration day we saw instruction on the wall so we went there and you ask with there have been caterpillar tractors building the wall when we were here? the wall was part of infrastructure, the technology that goes with it, the light, the roads, for example we went where the wall was being built, they have lights installed but we can't run the power to turn them on now because of the biden administration so it's really backwards thinking when it comes to what's going on the border, we have to have the will to stop it and what's really troubling the goal of the administration seems to intentionally be to overwhelm our resources. they know the american people would never call for open borders or catch and release and overwhelm border security apparatus with the influx and we
11:21 am
have that. eric: the administration says the border is closed, telling people not to come but let's go back to the live video we had, you can see a group, we have that? there they are. border patrol in a group of vehicles on the left, it appears to be what looks like migrants, they know they can just come walk across the border and say i'm here. how do you stop these families? they have desperate humanitarian issues back home but look at this, this is live here on fox news live, a family of little children, dangerous horrendous trip by foot across the border where the cartel operates and they are told to basically just give up. you think, can this ever really be stopped? >> we have to recognize lawlessness is not compassion.
11:22 am
we keep trying to put it in terms of compassion but aiding and abetting is not compassion alone cartel to take advantage of young men and women as across the border is not compassion. allowing them to be put into servitude when they come into the u.s. is not compassion these cartel serve as an outstanding influence in these companies, countries so you talk about corruption, we are helping fund that through our policies, they are getting millions of dollars a month so these countries trying to survive and build a better country for their people, it is very difficult because of our policies so you see more leaders and mexican president talking about how bad the policies have been. eric: 20 seconds, what should the vice president tells the leaders of mexico and guatemala? >> we need to reinstitute the dozen or so agreements the trump
11:23 am
administration work done, this is a partnership across many countries in our area that we are going to take the security of our community both here in the u.s. but in their countries as well, this does no favors to anyone in the path of cartels. eric: thank you. thank you for the live video to see exactly what's going on at the ground. arthel: the world's richest nations striking, big tech and other multinational, a group of seven signing an agreement today closing cross-border loopholes used by companies like apple and google. g7 agreed to back the minimum level corporate tax rates of at least 15% and committed to making sure companies pay their fair share. live in london, what does this mean x.
11:24 am
>> as you are saying, just a little earlier today, they agreed to support the idea of a global minimum corporate tax of at least 13%. why? they want to deter multinational companies by stashing profit in countries that charge over rate. g7 shorthand for the group of seven economies, seven of the world which is companies including the u.s., biden administration has been pushing for this idea, championing this idea for a good while, lobby inside the g7. president biden himself will be here in the uk later this week for a gathering of the g7 heads of state so from a policy perspective, it's a big multilateral win for him head of that meeting. secretary of the treasury janet yellen spoke a while ago, let's listen. >> for too long there's been a
11:25 am
global race to the bottom and corporate taxes. countries compete by luring tax rates set of the well-being of the distance and natural environments. taken significant steps this weekend to end the existing harmful dynamics making commitments today to provide tremendous momentum towards achieving a robust double minimum tax at a rate of at least 15%. reporter: another aspect, we see big american tech companies like amazon, google, paying at least some tax in countries where they sell their services but don't necessarily have a large physical presence, huge contention between u.s. european allies. of course seven countries agree on something doesn't make it a global deal. a lot of the other wealthy economies out there including china are the g20, the group of
11:26 am
20 of the world largest economies, they are meeting in july so it's not ideal yet but it's a big step in terms of how countries tax corporations how in the future they may coordinate that activity. arthel: interesting, a lot of questions in my mind but i've got to run. thank you very much. eric. eric: new details emerging in the origins of the coronavirus. why the theory and wuhan, why was it it pursued in the early days in the pandemic? more on that in a moment but first a look at what's ahead for sunday morning futures tomorrow. reporter: the senate dealing with everything from biden spending plan to border crisis to china policy. i'll be speaking with ted cruz live sunday morning 10:00 a.m. eastern on sunday morning futures. ♪♪
11:31 am
fox news confirmed top officials at the state department were warned not to pursue an investigation into the origins of covid 19 over years of drawing attention to u.s. funding of research at the wuhan institute for the virus may have estates. this is as newly released e-mails suggest doctor anthony fauci downplayed the lab leak theory early on. white house press secretary jen psaki defending doctor fauci. >> he's been an undeniable asset in our country's pandemic response but obviously it not that contagious to reintegrate the e-mails from 17 months ago. arthel: executive director of the national security institute, also former chief counsel and senior advisor for the senate quorum form relations committee. let's walk through this. is it unusual for the u.s. to
11:32 am
fund research at a chinese lab, specifically the wuhan institute? why would the state department warn against pursuing the origins of covid? >> not that unusual to fund them generally, but what is unusual, the type we are talking about, gain of function studies to study how a virus might get more aggressive and spread to humans, particularly to study them at a chinese is addition and particularly one that has chinese government is more unusual but then going directly from the national or the like to the chinese lab, it went through a long profit monday an individual involved in some of the defense of the idea at the wuhan lab so there's a lot of interesting questions about that and people's motivation but that's one aspect of this whole
11:33 am
thing, it went away nonprofit, the wuhan institute of virology. arthel: why would they warn against pursuing the origins of covid-19? >> obviously if that's what happened, that's a huge bubble. i think what "the issue is" is what happened during the trump administration, the debate was how much, what we say publicly about it? there are people, a lot of appointees, none of them were soft on china was going on here, the question of what evidence you have? what you want to say, biological weapons? is a lot going on within the administration of the time and now fast-forward to the biden administration, they are criticizing the president, former president and we are looking at both theories and see what's really going on and do a deep dive. arthel: a sneaky as china can
11:34 am
be, does it make sense to undermine her question doctor fauci's initial dismissal that covid could have originated in a lab? >> i think it was a mistake early on, i think we all saw something happened, we thought this what market theory, it didn't make sense and then rumors started coming about about researchers at the lab they were three in november 2019, doctor fauci probably jumped too quickly so while it doesn't, those trying to do their best here, i think it is fair criticism for all of us to accept that theory and not been so critical what was going on at the lab right there in the same city where it all began. arthel: china is also vindictive, was the best approach investigating the origin? is not like china will send out an open house invitation.
11:35 am
>> that's exactly right, a long time has passed now, it's now well over a year, year end a half now, a lot of evidence is gone. taking them off the grid, we can't get them from what's really happening here is china walking down information so we got to put pressure on them directly, say you got to make clear the who a whitewash investigation not professional, even the u.s. government gave criticism and the only director said there's work to be done here so we got to get serious here require the president to put direct pressure on china, he got to be willing to stand up vladimir putin and president xi jinping . arthel: how does he do it? >> i think we got economic pressure on china, it's important the american economy,
11:36 am
that being said if we are not willing to make them pay a price for not giving the world community and how it began in being transparent about it, so be it, it's going to cost us a higher price but it's worth it if we find out what actually happened and put pressure on the chinese government. arthel: but you mentioned were community, it can't just be president biden, we are the big bad wolf, we have the most power but it can't just be us alone because you said it's a global pandemic, you don't have other world leaders jumping on board and putting pressure on china. >> exactly right, we need to put rusher on china and the who. arthel: there you go, we are going to keep talking about this because unfortunately not ending and we've got to get to the bottom of. i've seen the movie contagion and it freaked me out. i'm not trying to apply that to
11:37 am
realize but -- >> i did see it, it's frightening. arthel: national security institute, we'll see you again. thank you. eric: , president trump making his first former speech since february. he'll headline the convention tonight. the day after facebook announced it would extend the ban on him till at least january 2023. live in north carolina with what to expect. reporter: former president trump will be the headliner tonight but it's a battleground state, we've seen high-profile republicans make their way here including today the governor of south dakota who discussed at length how she handles covid in her state and drew standing ovation from the crowd, eager to hear from her and she contrasted
11:38 am
what she did compared to other states around the country. >> i do believe governors have the authority to tell you your business isn't essential. whenever issued shelter in place or mandate anything such as masks, i stood up in front of my people and said trust. reporter: president trump will have plenty to say tonight not only about the pandemic but also about doctor fauci, what he believes is going on behind the scenes the last few months since he left the white house. gop organizers similar to what we heard a few months ago, the president will expand on a lot of that later on tonight. >> you're going to see donald trump tonight and he's going to lay out the differences between his vision for america, the america first agenda and what we are seeing out of washington out of president biden right now. reporter: we are going to get a much better idea how the president feels about the latest reaction from facebook. the platform decided to keep former president trump off for
11:39 am
at least until 2023, that could have an impact how he is able to impact midterm elections next year and whether it is decision to run in 2024. we'll see what he says tonight. security sweep is underway but we are expecting 2000 people to hear from him later on tonight. eric: thanks so much. arthel: president biden decking gop's latest counter offer on his massive infrastructure spending bill as the latest jobs report shows hiring is up but still missed expectations. mike huckabee and what it means for the economy. ♪♪
11:43 am
11:44 am
shelley proposed $50 billion in republican funding but there's still more continuing. may jobs report says the economy had nearly 560,000 new jobs that happens to be a big improvement over april's numbers still well below expectations so what does it mean? mike huckabee joins us. governor, good to see you. the president, under 1 trillion in first proposal, they first put up 7 trillion. the republicans are almost at 1 trillion, to think that's great? >> this is unfortunate they have already gone to a conclusion for the simple reason, the republicans love to build things and democrats love to spend money. troop and production program gives both sides what they want, because things that matter to the american economy, democrats get to spend money but it's money has a great return on
11:45 am
investment. let me give specific examples, for every dollar we spent building a road, it saves $526 and carbon payers for the average consumer. this is not a hard thing to sell to americans because they are going to benefit. every mile of highway create ten jobs. he wants 1 million new jobs? 100,000 miles of highway will give you 1 million jobs so there is a real reason i don't understand why president biden isn't going out selling the benefits of an infrastructure program rather than selling the budget. you will never win this trying to tell everybody how much it's going to cost, you win when you give people clear examples that this is going to be an incredible boost to the economy to their personal autonomy and it goes to things, if we try to build a hoover dam today, we
11:46 am
probably couldn't. $49 million in the early 30s, it's estimated it would cost 100 times that, somewhere around $1 billion today but we never get the permit for it so if we are serious about infrastructure, but it done, we should and we can, it's a matter of willpower. eric: the president and administration think it will help the economy but at the same time there is a lot more that doesn't have to do with that concrete infrastructure you talk about. what concerns you about that and what would you like to see done in terms of what's in the? >> there's got to be a lot more transparency, you cannot make infrastructure a catchall term to mean childcare or additional servings of macaroni and cheese for kids under six, it's got to be something with physical
11:47 am
consequences. when eisenhower built the interstate system in the 50s, there wasn't a lot of other stuff in there with the interstate system transformed country, it was built largely for national security but we are still living with the benefit of the skeletal system of our economy that infrastructure is just about the stuff that has nothing to do with bridges, roads, airports, water systems and sewer systems, but infrastructure being what it is and if you want to do things like macaroni and cheese servings for kids under x, or childcare, put in a separate bill and sell it separately. eric: you work governor of the state, you know about infrastructure, the bridge between memphis and west memphis, that's out because there was a crack found, what did you do as governor? how did you address this to make sure. >> it was a major focus is my tenure. we built every single mile, one
11:48 am
of the reasons i understand the numbers about the benefits car repair bills to the average consumer is because it was my job to go sell the people of arkansas on the idea that they impose upon themselves the temporary tax refuel, they get better roads and it would cost them less and their cars repairs were costing. we delivered that problem, fixed the roads ahead of schedule under budget and did it with paying back bonds we used to do it in record time so that's why i say it's an ideal opportunity for president biden as well as republicans to get something they like and more importantly give the american people something they are going to love. >> you race everything, bill clinton after the first time, the car tag increase, he raised
11:49 am
car tags. >> you have to be but more importantly, you have to tell people what's going to be used for and you better keep that promise. if you do, they'll love you. if you don't, they'll put you out of office, i've seen it both ways. eric: governor mike huckabee, who got the roads done. governor, hopefully we can get, good to see you. >> thank you. arthel: thank you, a few hours from now until the last jewel horseracing triple crown, run with limited hand and under a huge cloud of controversy over the hall of fame trainer. we are live with a preview of what's next. ♪♪
