"fox & friends first" continues right now. ♪ all night on the beach until the break of dawn. ♪ i'm going to miami. ♪ welcome to miami. jillian: there's something about seeing this shot, hearing the song, it just gets you going at 5:00 here on the east coast. by the way, griff, i checked the handy weather app, it's 81 degrees and partly cloudy in miami. i would take that any day of the week. griff: absolutely. i love it. cranking a little will smith. good morning. jillian, i'm coming to you from del-rio, texas, this is the border wall behind me. we're here of course because of the vie president's trip -- vice president's trip. but in this specific area of the border which vice president harris has not visited any of the 2,000 miles along the southwestern border, the

specific area in the last seven days they had over 5800 encounters with migrants crossing from many countries. jillian: lauren blanchard has more from us as she joins us live from washington to talk about what we can expect. lauren, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it was a little bit of a rough start for vice president kamala harris' first foreign trip. air force 2 was forced to return to joint base andrews yesterday shortly after takeoff because of landing gear problems. >> are you good? are you okay? are you okay? >> are you okay? >> i'm good, i'm good. yeah. we're good. >> reporter: the vice president boarded another plane and made it safely there last night. today, bilateral meetings with the guatemalan president, then community leaders and women business owners. later she will head to mexico city for more meetings tomorrow. the meetings will focus on the

root causes of migration from laten america, that -- latin america. that means food insecurity, combating violence, and corruption. vice president harris was tapped by the president to lead the nation's situation at the border. 75 days later, she has yet to visit u.s. border cities or migrant facilities despite invitations to do so. this comes as the situation at the border continues to be an issue for the administration and crisis for those living there. april's custom and border protection numbers hit a 20 year high, more than 178,000 apprehensions at the border. we're waiting for may's numbers to be released. in the rio grande sector last week agents arrested an ms-13 gang member from el salvador and two other migrants that were previously convicted of of sex crimes against children. the vice president has yet to hold a news conference since being tapped to lead the border

situation. today, though, she and the guatemalan president will face the press corps where i am sure they will have just a few questions for her. griff, jillian. griff: we will be watching. lauren blanchard in washington, thanks, lauren. jillian: now to a fox news alert. two suspects have been arrested in the california road rage shooting death of a 6-year-old. highway patrol announcing 24-year-old marcus aires and win lee were arrested at their home in orange county. authorities expect to charge both with murder. the 6-year-old was shot and killed on may 21 while heading to kindergarten with his mom. griff: three people including a corrections officer are dead and five others hurt in a florida shooting in a graduation party. police say two cars pulled up outside the hookah bar where the party was being held and opened fire. officers are running out of patience as violence spikes.

>> this shows you the magnitude of the gun violence issue doesn't just affect community members, it affects the law enforcement community. this is extremely frustrating. every weekend it's the same thing. griff: the shooting comes a week after gunmen killed three people and injured 20. a reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in that case. jillian: chicago police remove a 26-year-old man from an american airlines flight after causing what the company calls a, quote, disturbance. the passenger had to be detained on board until the flight from maine landed. no injuries were reported. this comes days after a delta air lines flight attendant stopped a man trying to breach the cockpit. that flight had to be diverted for an emergency landing. the would-be hijacker was zip tied before being handed over to the fbi upon landing.

griff: silence from dr. fauci, dodging questions in new york city as some lawmakers call for his ousting amid the fallout over his leaked pandemic e-mails. jillian: jackie ibanez joins us as others race to his defense. >> reporter: dr. fauci spent sunday afternoon with first lady dr. jill biden visiting a harlem vaccination clinic, both expressing optimism, urging the community to spread the word about getting vaccinated. >> we're going to end this outbreak for absolutely certain and the vehicle for ending it is vaccination. >> that's how we're going to do it, through the faith community, to reach out to their congregation, their flocks, as they come forward and be healthy. >> reporter: the pair did not take questions from reporters amid the fallout over fauci's leaked e-mails. the e-mails are sparking questions about his handling of the pandemic and what he knew about the origins of the virus and whether it could have leaked from the wuhan lab.

former fda commissioner, scott gotleib he defending fauci from criticism. listen to this. >> i don't think there was anything remarkable in the e-mails, i don't think there was anything that tony said that expressed any ill intent and nothing really that was new from the standpoint of what we already knew. >> reporter: former secretary of state mike pompeo saying otherwise, slamming fauci for down playing the lab leak theory early on, saying there's more evidence to support it. >> the more we see, the more we know. every sign, every piece of evidence we've seen today continues to stack up to suggest this did come -- the wuhan virus came from the virology lab in wuhan. >> reporter: fauci said he believed the virus likely formed in nature but that he's open to the possibility of the lab leak theory and supports an investigation into the wuhan lab, this as secretary of state anthony blink insays the biden administration is determined to

get to the bottom of the pandemic's origins, saying the u.s. will hold china accountable. back to you guys. griff: we shall see, jackie ibanez, thank you very much. meantime, u.s. energy secretary jennifer granholm says more crippling cyber attacks could happen and the american power grid could be next. listen. >> there are very maligned actors who are trying even as we speak, there are thousands of attacks on all aspects of the energy sector and the private sector generally. griff: granholm's remarks follow two massive ransomware attacks this year, the first shut down the colonial pipeline and then targeted the world's largest meat company, jbs. granholm says corporations and even private citizens must shore up cyber security to prepare for possible hacks. jillian: today, president biden will again meet with republican senator shelley moore captio on

infrastructure. the meeting comes after the president rejected the gop's nearly trillion down counter offer friday. capito's west virginia colleague, joe manchin, leading a group of bipartisan lawmakers proposing a plan of their own. a roughly $878 billion proposal. manchin telling chris wallace he's confident a deal can be reached. >> my goodness, the president has gone from 2.25 trillion down to $1 trillion. the republicans have come up quite a bit from where they started. we'll talk to senator cap he toe after those meet -- capito after those meetings, we'll talk to the white house. we think we can find a pathway forward. jillian: transportation secretary pete buttigieg also optimistic. >> we've seen a lot of republicans, certainly around the country but also a lot of republicans in office state their interest in doing something real on infrastructure. we've just got to see if we can actually get it into enough of an overlapping consensus that we can get a bill done together. the president strongly prefers a

bipartisan approach. jillian: the president set this week as a deadline for reaching a deal. the commerce secretary says it's not a hard wired timeframe. uber logan paul going the distance against floyd mayweather r in their highly anticipated exhibition fight. >> another counter shot. >> oh! jillian: paul may have avoided the knockout but the undefeated mayweather was able to evade the amateur's punches all night. still, there was no official winner and unfortunately many fans didn't even get to enjoy the fight because show time's pay-per-view stream was plagued by widespread outages due to high demand. that stinks, griff. griff: jillian, that fight came after social media had a scare n were facing off with each other before the fight, i guess when they were weighing in. so that's just a difficult thing

to see that. time now, 11 minutes after the hour. the border city of mcalen texas has a new mayor, this comes as the biden administration faces pressure to address the growing migrant crisis. we talk to the winner of the election about his plans to address the concerns of the community. jillian: oreo's new out-of-this world offer hoping to bring the entire universe together, we'll tell you about it. ♪ kiss me, kiss me. ♪ infect me with your love, fill me with your poison. ♪ want to be a victim so you only pay for what you need? really? i didn't-- aah! ok. i'm on vibrate. aaah! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ struggling to manage my type 2 diabetes was knocking me out of my zone, but lowering my a1c with once-weekly ozempic® helped me get back in it.

mayor. mr. mayor, congratulations. thank you for taking time this morning to join us. >> you bet. thank you very much for the invite. my pleasure being here. griff: mr. mayor, i want to get right to the crisis. you are there in the rio grande valley in mcallen, ground zero for president biden's border crisis. you've had this year 60 plus groups of 100 or more, just last week, one had 198 migrants in just one crossing of them, 50 were unaccompanied children. it's hitting levels we haven't seen in two decades. you can see the numbers from april, 178,000. it's a huge increase. as the new mayor, what do you intend to do to try and help get this under control? >> well, fortunately, we are about 13 miles away from the border, we are being affected directly. we have to suggest and almost demand that it's time to do a little something.

we've of course asked washington, look, take care of the crisis. there is an issue, let's take care of it. we're limited to -- we assist in some of the logistics. it's something that we're not prepared for and we shouldn't be doing. so of course we urge congress to then ask the president to take care of the issue. jillian: let me ask you this. mcallen is a border town, as you mentioned, 85% roughly hispanic. the home to mcallen, it went to biden by 17 points in the 2020 election. given the fact that that county went blue, it was democratic, what does that say to you that a short time later within a span of a few months, all of a sudden now it's going to you in the mayoral race, do you see a change in tone with the residents in the area.

>> having a good dose of competition is important. people realizing, generally the hispanic community is very conservative. for whatever reason, historically they voted democrat. things are changing little by little, changing in different areas. it's findly hitting the south. i think it's very important, we have to keep on having a good dose of competition, competition makes things better. a few months later, everybody knows i was a former republican sheriff, the people chose to elect me. i think that's something that's very important, things are changing and we're very happy. griff: mr. mayor, i want to turn to the vice president's trip. vice president harris in guatemala today, headed to mexico tomorrow. she's addressing the root causes of mass migration. but she hasn't visited our border. do you think she should come there to mcallen to visit the rgb sector. >> we get a lot of visitors,

and any time you have a visit, that's important. what's more important, look, let's deal with the issue. i think we know what the root cause is. let's take care of it. unfortunately, we have to take care of it in washington. look, they're going to guatemala, going to mexico. let's take care of the issue. but the issue needs to be taken care of in washington. yes, we always welcome any federal official, state official to visit us at the border to see the issues we have. you'd be amazed that some of the issues that people think we have, we don't. immigrants come through mcallen, we assist them and they go up north. we don't have some of the issues others in the north might v it's a pass-through. they come through here and they're gone. but it's something that, look, it affects every single taxpayer in our country and we've got to address it. the president, the congress, the senate, they have to address that. jillian: real quick, we are running out of time, don't you think it's helpful for them, the president and vice president to at some point be on the ground to see exactly what they're dealing with?

sure, ultimately it will be handled out of washington but if you don't have eyes on the ground, how do you do it properly? >> they have to do it. they have to. they need to go see what -- 13 miles away from here you see under the bridge hundreds and hundreds of people accumulating, coming. this is the immigrants, whether legal or not, one of the main concerns we have is our international bridges have been shut down. those are our bridges. they bring us revenue and they've been shut down. we have the other individuals that shouldn't really be coming here or at least they're not coming in properly and they're being welcomed. that's an issue we have and we have to -- no, they they have to take care of it. jillian: thank you very much. griff: that's right. thank you, mr. mayor. >> thank you. griff: jillian, a great point the mayor was making there, under that bridge he mentioned, a temporary outdoor processing site is still up because the

flow is so heavy. time now is 19 minutes after the hour. twitter insists access to a free and open internet is a human right. jillian: but what about all the conservative accounts that have been censored on the platform? joe concha helps us answer that question, next. ♪ what do you mean. ♪ when you nod your head yes but you want to say no. ♪ what do you mean

jillian: welcome back. despite a number of conservative accounts being censored from their site, twitter insisting that access to a free and open internet is a, quote, essential human right. joining us to discuss, fox news

contributor joe concha. joe, good to see you. >> happy monday. how was your weekend? jillian: happy monday. i'm curious where this opinion was when the president was banned by twitter, when others on this list that we'll pull up were banned by twitter, steve bannon, michael flynn, mike lynn lynndel. when they were banned, you wonder why it wasn't free and open then. >> why is twitter taking away the essential human right of all the people you see on that screen, particularly the 45th president. these decisions are made by faceless people, in other words, social media oligarchs, because it's basically saying we're going to decide what is the right speech, what is the wrong speech and that's an awfully subjective thing. we should be rooting for more speech, not less speech but here's twitter taking away these accounts while screaming about

essential human rights. it's laugh out loud funny, jillian. jillian: the back story to this, this comes after the nigerian government banned access to the social media giant following a dispute with its president. it's like twitter is getting a taste of what they've been doing or what a lot of conservatives say they have been doing to them. >> good for nigeria, right. there has to be pushback at some point, when you have the social media platform, which is very powerful, by the way, something like 86% of americans get their news online. much of it from social media, from twitter, facebook. you and i do it. we go through our phone, probably, scroll through and find a story and that's how you get it. no longer going to the end of the driveway and getting the newspaper. we see twitter or facebook, they will censor donald trump, for example, and not allow them on their platforms, yet allow the chinese communist government to actually put up videos

celebrating the tiananmen square massacre where hundreds of people were killed including students. that's okay. china's okay. but we have leaders in our country not allowed to be or at least former leaders not allowed to be on these platforms and the reason why, jillian, is because twitter's stock is trading at $60 per share. a year ago it was trading at $30 per share. you look at that, says it's doubled. there's no mass exodus of conservatives leaving. the money is coming in. the private company can do whatever the hell it wants because who is going to stop them. jillian: twitter restricted the new york post account over one of the stories about hunter biden, days before the election. they suspended their account for quite some time. as it turns out, the story had now been checked out and backtracked. they backtracked on that. joe, i mean, at the end of the day, what do you think our social media sites look like in the next few years, do you see big changes coming after everything that we've endured and we've seen happen online in

the last year or so? >> jillian, as long as you have a democratic house or at least democratically controlled house, democratically controlled senate in essence and democrat in the white house, these companies will not be broken up, section 230 gives them liability protection, that won't be taken away because they serve at the biggest super pac for the democratic party. why would you injure or destroy your greatest ally? until you have leaders in the house, the senate, the white house or all three that are willing to take on these companies and say what you're doing is wrong, we're going to take away your liability protection, nothing is going to change, unfortunately. jillian: it's going to be interesting to see what happens with that, that's for sure. once again, twitter declaring a free and open internet to be, quote, an essential human right in modern society. that happened saturday morning. joe concha, thank you for waking up early and joining us. >> when i text you and 3:20 in the morning i expect a response. nothing.

it's amazing. we'll work on that a little bit. jillian: i didn't get a text. i got nothing. >> really? that was the other jillian. okay, yeah. jillian: are you waking people up? >> unfortunately, yes, yes, my sister-in-law. we'll have to work on that. sorry about that. jillian: joe, thanks. >> take care, bye. jillian: it's 28 minutes after the hour. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez encouraging new york city students and parents to protest campus police officers. we're talking to a former nypd inspector about it. griff: i think joe concha's got some apologizing to do. plus, i'll be talking with a border rancher, he says vice president harris should come visit him when she's back from latin america to see the damage done to his property by migrants illegally crossing the border. that's coming up.

this is the greatest idea you'll ever hear. okay, it's an app that compares hundreds of travel sites for hotels and cars and vacation rentals like kayak does for flights. so it's kayak. yeah, like kayak. why don't you just call it kayak. i'm calling it... canoe. compare hundreds of travel sites for thousands of trips. kayak. search one and done.

jillian: 31 minutes after the hour. a manhunt is underway for this man who philadelphia police say

shot and killed a dunkin' donuts manager. the chilling surveillance video shows the suspect with the 41-year-old woman at gunpoint. police say he robbed the store, then shot the manager in the head before running off. investigators are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. new york police release surveillance footage of the shooting that killed a 10-year-old boy just three days before his birthday. the suspect seen arriving on the quiet queens street in a dark suv before walking up to the home and firing 8 shots. the boy justin wallace was hit in the torso, his uncle was hit in the shoulder and is expected to survive. new york city mayor bill de blasio met with wallace's family and vowed to bring the killer to justice. police haven't revealed a motive and are offering a $3,500 reward. griff. griff: jillian, as the u.s. faces a growing surge of migrants at the border, this new mexico rancher, russell johnson, says his property is under siege

as illegal immigrants damage his land and livestock. these photos we're showing you now. you shot this footage, russell, thanks for getting up early and taking time, very important, you're a fourth generation cattle rancher. tell us what's happening to your property and where your property is in regard to the border. >> we're located 50 miles south of deming, new mexico. our ranch runs for eight miles along the u.s./mexico border. ever since president biden took office we're seeing a dramatic increase in illegal foot traffic. it's very negatively impacting our ranching operation. griff: russell, we're looking at trash left on your ranch. tell me what is some of the more striking things you've seen and really if you can, tell us the damage that's being done to your ranch and those like it. >> well, every time that we've had a dramatic surge of foot

traffic like this, you get the common problems that everybody sees along the border, with trash being left behind, the backpacks, the clothing, all of the stuff that's in the backpacks gets scattered across the range land. that's horrible for cattle they encounter, especially as they attempt to consume it. what we're seeing right now is because we're in a d-4 drought classification, our cattle are struggling to get enough feed to maintain their body conditions so we're having to feed them but we still have pretty good usable feed in areas along the border and because we're having such an increase in foot traffic, it's keeping our cattle driven out of these areas and we've had to try to push them back into these areas. they keep getting pushed out by the amount of traffic that's coming through, particularly in the three quarter mile gap that's been left funneling all this traffic into our area. griff: russell, you're in the

el paso sector of the border. house minority leader kevin mccarthy led a delegation there a few months ago. you've even had dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas visit the area. vice president harris has not come to see the southwest border. what do you say to her as she is in guatemala today? >> well, the root problem might be down there in guatemala, honduras, the northern triangle but the problem with the united states is right here on our border. it's very disappointing to see our elected officials going down to another country and basically putting the citizens of this country on the back burner. we feel very abandoned. we talk amongst our family all the time. we never felt more you abandoned by our government in all the years. my family's been on this border for over 103 years and we've never felt more abandoned and

disheartened than we have today. griff: russell, we're just out of time but just a quick answer. it's getting hotter. that's when it gets tougher for migrants. are you concerned that you may have my grants really struggling -- migrants really struggling in the heat that's coming. >> we've always seen that. we're starting to see these people giving up, border patrol agents saying the people crossing are starting to feel the effects of the increase in temperatures. we've had people come to our house that have given up. that's a safety concern when you have your wife and kids at home alone, these people show up, it's very concerning and response time for border patrol, they've been pulled to help with the humanitarian crisis in the other areas with the family units but it's just -- it's a horrible situation and it's not being addressed by our federal government. griff: it is a horrible situation. russell johnson, new mexico

rancher, thank you for taking time. please keep us posted. jillian. >> thanks for having me on. jillian: now turning to the track where kyle larson scored another nascar cup win. >> kyle larson wins in sonoma. jillian: larson meeting out chase elliott in the final lap of the toyota save mart 350, his third win of the season. the win is hendricks' 270th victory adding to the nascar record the team broke last weekend. congrats. it is 37 minutes after the hour. treasury secretary janet yellen says president biden should forge ahead with his $4 trillion spending plans even if it means for money out of your pocket. griff: plus, get this, oreo's new out-of-this world offer hoping to bring the entire universe together. ♪ did you make it through the

milky way to see the lights all faded. ♪ and that heaven is overrated. ♪ tell me, did you fall --

jillian: good morning. treasury secretary janet yellen thinks president biden should go through with his $4 trillion spending plans even if it means more money out of your pockets. griff: cheryl casone with our sister network, fox business, here with what she said. janet yellen in the news quite a lot. what is this about. >> second yellen didn't seem too worried by experts warnings that biden's spending plans could trigger inflation and higher interest rates. she said if we ended up with a higher interest rate environment it would be a plus for society's point of view. we've been fighting inflation that's too low and interest rates that are too low for a decade. if this helps to alleviate things, that is a good thing. yellen insists she would not

give up on the spending packages, insisting they're not meant as stimulus but as investments to address long-standing needs of the economy. remember, $4 trillion in new pros poseals -- proposals sitting out there right now. jillian: facebook is defending the trump ban, right? >> the facebook executive defending the decision to extend the ban on former president trump for two years. >> we understand that making a decision like this is controversial. from those people who feel that donald trump should be back on the platform immediately and from those who say he should be banned forever. our job is not to take these decisions with an tie to which side of the political aisle is going to agree or disagree more with us but to do so in a way that is fair, transparent, proportionate. >> he also said lawmakers should deal with the issues of political speech, hatred and violence with new regulations. that is something social media companies do not want to hear but that's what's possibly going

to be on the table. griff: all right. finally, cheryl, this is my favorite story of the day. the oreo cookie folks seem to believe that aliens would like or yows as well. -- oreo as well. what's that about. >> i'm a fan. i'm sure you are as well. there's all these recent reports we've been talking about from the intelligence community that they can't explain certain objects that are flying in the sky. so oreo is getting in on the fun. they're offering double stuff oreo as a free welcome gift to anybody from somewhere other than earth. in a tweet using hashtag other ' oreo offering, they say the mission is to bring all life forms together. apparently, all life forms should be coming together over oreo cookies. jillian: if only it were that easy. because they're out there. griff: all right, cheryl. that's a great story of the day. has skullly or mulder been

that we heard? >> this was really a continuation of a bill that was sponsored last year in july 2020 by senator chris murphy from connecticut as well as the representative ayana pressly from massachusetts, a bill called the criminalization of schools act. i understand the purpose of it, that they perceive that if they remove the police from the schools there will be less criminalization and they want to place more counselors in the school which is not a bad idea in itself. it sounds pretty good on its face. i don't know if it's going to accomplish what they think it's going to do. you might have unintended consequence. the bill they're suggesting suggests there should be at least one social worker, one counselor for every 250 students and one psychologist for every

750 students. jillian: let me if i can break this up, the graphics of the cities that banned police in schools. there are certainly a number of them. i'm curious your within, what removing police from schools could potentially do. what type of issues could this pose? >> i'm sure it will allow for more entry of weapons into the school system. also, it doesn't necessarily remove the school safety officers, worrying about the criminalization of children. overall, i think it will reduce the safety of some of these schools. the police officers in these schools was not there by accident or plan, it was actually done by necessity prior to this occurring. in other words, the police officers didn't create the situation. the police officers were placed in there because the schools had the issues in the first place. jillian: so alexandria ocasio-cortez among others, as you mentioned, you mentioned a few names, other members of the squad, what do you think they

don't understand about the job and the role of police officers in schools and what do you want them to understand about it? >> well, they don't seem to understand that the police officers aren't there to criminalize the students, they're there to provide safety. nor are they required to do any particular activities. there's no requirement that they have to produce x amount of referrals within the month or along that line. my fear is this, the psychologists and the counselors could justify their existence may come up with concepts of deviancy that is recorded under their reports. when they report a youth referral, that record goes away, it's carefully sealed, there's retention rules on it governed by the state. jillian: dr. costello, i'm sorry to interrupt. we are out of time. we would love to continue the conversation with you another day and sorry to interrupt you

♪ griff: republicans ramping up their demands for a criminal investigation into dr. anthony fauci after the release of revealing emails. jillian: here is his take is

congressman michael cloud. thank you for being here. we appreciate it two-part question here. number one, do you think that dr. fauci and others be investigated? number two, shouldn't everybody in this country want to get to the bottom of who knew what and when? >> most definitely. i serve on the oversight committee and those are the questions on the oversight committee we are wondering when are we going to have the hearings on this sort of thing. the one thing we know is that, you know, fauci seem eminent domain to not ever be sure where the science was on this thing. unfortunately so many of us were wrapped up and some lives olivia hood hung in the balance fauci's personal science fair project. devastating to so many people when liberally lives are hanging in the balance he can't seem to figure where the science is. seemed it be driven more by political science than actual science. griff: but, com, let me ask you a little more pointed question. do you believe dr. fauci made grave mistakes, perhaps during

the evolution of the virus or did he intentionally mislead the american people? >> well, we are only at the very beginning of this investigation. we need to have an investigation and time will tell whether he was just really bad at his job or whether there was some sort of criminal intent there the thing we know is that thousands of lives would have been saved if he had been more direct with the american people. we know china exported this virus intentionally. we know that the w.h.o. covered up for them. we know that fauci covered up for the w.h.o. and china and the american people are like this is the top doctor? we can do better than this. jillian: who else do you think should be investigated if anyone. >> well, lining i said, this is the twinning of the investigation, we need to look into it. it goes back to the old big question, right, with federal government, follow the money. i think we will be able to find out a lot of what is going on. unfortunately, there were people

more concerned about their profits and own personal safety than the safety and security than the american people. we could have saved so many more lives if we had just literally followed the science and one of the big mistakes we made, you know, fauci called this questions about his performance and an attack on science. but really the big mistake was science, especially on something so novel is something that should have a lot of voices asking a lot of questions. unfortunately, any dissenting voice throughout this whole process has been silenced. griff: congressman, let me change gears quickly. that is will we get a deal done, bipartisan lawmakers preparing yet another infrastructure plan as the white house g.o.p. negotiations continues senator capito will be talking to the white house again. where do things stand as far as you are concerned and will we get anything done? can a deal be reached? >> i'm sure a deal can be reached, you know. five years ago when president trump was elected that was the big thing that we were all

hoping for, we would all be able to get a bipartisan infrastructure bill. unfortunately we got caught up in a bunch of political shenanigans. one of the political use of constitutional spend something for infrastructure. and we certainly could use some. so i think you could get some bipartisan support for a real infrastructure bill. but what we have seen come true congress so far has been a bunch of very bloated bills. we had a covid bill passed that wasn't really about covid. and infrastructure bill that hasn't been about infrastructure. what we have seen as far as the negotiating table so far is concerned is the willingness to put up a front of negotiating but it's been my way or the highway, no pun intended or it's been so far the same when it comes to infrastructure bill. we need to see some real bipartisan discussion on it. jillian: seems like we are if getting closer group of bipartisan 878 billion. as you know the president has come down to 1.4 trillion in his

plan. republicans at 1.1 trillion. so we will certainly continue to follow to see. congressman michael cloud, thank you. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. jillian: and of course thank you to griff jenkins filling in live from the border. it was good to see you my friend. have a good at a. i know you will have a busy day down there. "fox & friends" starts right now. bye-bye. griff: thank you. >> vice president kamala harris is in guatemala to address the root causes of the migrant surge. >> they can fix this tomorrow. all they got to do is reinstate the trump policies. >> dr. fauci spent sunday afternoon with first lady dr. jill biden the pair did not take questions. >> every piece of evidence that we have seen today continues to stack up to suggest this virus came from wuhan. >> a jacksonville florida, police officer pummeled by multiple people as he tried to clear a crowd. >> crime is up. respect for police is down. >> our kids are they
