9:01 am
griff: i've been here for a week now and in that week, in just this sector alone in del rio, texas there have been apprehensions and the migrants coming from more than 35 different countries. not just the northern triangle of honduras, el salvador guatemala, but africa and romania and other place. where i'm staying is a hot bed. i'll walk you along the river bank, mostly all venezuelans coming from here and we've learned from the dps agents and the other border officials here that it's highly, highly organized, as much as the venezuelans come all the way to the little town of acuna, and are taken specifically to this spot every afternoon. now, the drone that's up right now, you should be able to see, it's la hoya, texas in the rio
9:02 am
grande valley sector, that's hit harder, both the rgv and they're up in apprehensions, in the area where you're looking at the drone, the same river we're looking at rio grande, east of it, 12 miles or so is mission, texas where they apprehended a mexican national convicted in mission, texas of murder in 2008. he was sentenced to 15 years. why he was back, nobody knows, but they caught him. while you have the families in this just tragic humanity of 180,000 migrants coming across our border in the month of may, you have a criminal element and that's certainly part of the problem. the fact that these smugglers, if you look at the video from this week where they were streaming across in this location here, i confronted a smuggler in the middle of the river. his name was juan. i asked him how much he's making a day to move people across, he says 100 to $200 a
9:03 am
day and he's just the guy to move them from one side of the river bank to the other. when we went for a ride along, along an air boat with the border patrol chief for the sector, austin scaro, he showed us migrants crossing right in front of us, so bold and brazen, but he he told us exactly how much the cartels he anticipates is i can making per week. it's a stunning number. take a listen to what the chief told me sitting out here on the river. >> we estimate that the cartels are making about $25 million a week right now, just moving people through the del rio sector. so, they charge by demographic, by nationality, and so, everyone has to pay a different fee but everybody has to pay. >> and here is the thing, everybody pays. it's so organized when they come across the cartels also get the migrants in most cases to pay as well on this side of the border. they're not done, they're
9:04 am
indebted to the cartels when they get here. the cartels on that side of the border have found out who their contact is, what that contact's phone number is and then they extort them in most cases on the u.s. side, yet another time knowing that the border officials, according to the administration policy in many cases will release them. we talked to the director of the texas department of public safety, colonel steve mccraw, he's running the operation on border enforcement for governor abbott. here is what he had to say to me this week about the issue of the cartels having a hold on both sides. listen. >> border patrol is overwhelmed and they're a great agency, outstanding men and women, but when they're overwhelmed, the cartels exploit that and when i say they exploit that, high value migrants, including transnational games. ms-13, ms-18, those convicted of crimes before and deported leverage the opportunity to move into texas and they're not
9:05 am
just in texas throughout texas and throughout the rest of the nation. griff: and mike and jaqui, we're lucky to be joined by the previous sure in texas, and we met years ago riding on air boats during hurricane harvey, but you know, fell well, tasked with protecting rivers. thank you for being here. what do you have to say and what do you make of the crisis that we're seeing here? >> you know, thank you griff for having me, i've had opportunities to visit this border, mcallen, laredo, i've been to yuma. this administration is playing politics with the lives of people, it's dangerous. i've noticed that this administration is in complete denial. just last week, kamala harris said she was at our southern border, that's a downright lie. gets in front of the american
9:06 am
people and says our southern border is secure. that is a lie. i could put him on a polygraph machine and he would fail it, mayorkas and so would kamala harris. if kamala harris and mayorkas stood on this bank i wonder what they would say about what they said to the american people, this border is closed, i've been to the southern border, they haven't and they're playing with the lives of the american people and it's dangerous. the people coming across here are the ones that actually are waving the white flag. they know you're here. they know dps is here and the border agents are here. they want to be apprehended, so to speak, because they know it's a welcome right into our great country of ours, but what about the thousands that are coming across the southern border under the cover of darkness? those are the ones bringing in the drugs, fentanyl and methamphetamine and it's killing people. so we have to-- if you're going to solve this
9:07 am
issue, number one, you have to be real, you have to wake up and realize what's happening here, you have to visit the southern border, but you've got to revert back to trump's policies, that's the only way you're going to handle it. >> congressman, you mentioned the drugs and cvp put out cocaine seizure, exceeded last year. fentanyl 7500 pounds and exceeded last year. and 25 million a week just in this area, the cartels are making on humans. it's not factoring in the drugs and is it your opinion, your belief that the administration is in some way enabling the cartels to profit? >> number one, i believe that this have -- administration, i've been on the program talking about local law enforcement cleaning up the mess. this administration, the biden administration is complicit. they're aiding and abetting in the crime of trafficking persons, human trafficking, they know what's taking place,
9:08 am
now, we talk in this country about the war on drugs, and we do public service announcements, talking about sex trafficking, human trafficking, labor trafficking. what do you think is happening when these people enter our country? enter our great country of ours, many of them don't speak english, right? they're going to come across here, have limited skills. they're beholden to the traffickers, right and many of them may have a debt to pay so they're going to be in our country and they're going to be doing things that they don't want to do because if they don't pay that bill in full, the drug smugglers and the trafficking and coyotes will threaten to kill their families. >> congressman quick before we run out of time here and thank you for being with us. your governor, governor abbott says he'll allocate a billion dollars to fight this crisis and possibly try and build a wall if the administration won't? >> it's sad the taxpayers of texas are using dollars from
9:09 am
texas up to a billion dollars. it's the federal government's responsibility, specifically congress to secure our southern border. i understand why the governor is doing it, he's there and his charge is to protect the people in the great state of texas because our president and administration is unwilling to do so-so i understand his point and i hope it can be effective and i'm sure that dps they're doing the best to try to address the issue, but if you really, really want to address the issue and stop the war, prevent some of the drugs coming in and these illegals, you have to secure the southern border with a wall, remain in mexico policy. that's it, you have to do it and you have to do it now. >> congressman troy nehls. formerly sheriff, thank you. >> griff, you've made multiple tours down there and we've seen the crisis for months. i wonder if you're sensing a growing frustration and exhaustion with those on the front lines who have been dealing with this crisis now for quite a long time? >> mike, i've got to tell you,
9:10 am
they're overwhelmed and exhausted. they've been that way for three months, we've seen the numbers, more than 170,000 for the last three straight months, unprecedented. when you talk off camera, privately with the rank and file guys, because literally, none of them are on the line doing their job of securing the border, but are having to transport and receive these massive numbers, they feel, in their words, privately, that they're an extension unwillingly of the cartels because they're simply helping to facilitate this unbelievable surge that is succeeding in coming across without being stopped. and that is very deeply personal, and very deeply painful and frustrating for them. now, that said, they swore to take an oath and to carry out their duties and every single one i've seen is doing that both at the state level and the federal level, but it's a situation that has to be addressed. meanwhile, the last point i'll
9:11 am
make for you, the leaders are privately worrying, that this administration will lift the title 42 rule for which we have been expelling a large number of migrants for fear they might bring covid and put americans at risk. as the covid and pandemic situation gets much better, there's a fear that the administration, which is actively reviewing whether or not to lift it, will lift it and that will then be a real driver for an even larger number of migrants coming despite the fact that temperatures are getting in the hundreds and becoming a very serious added factor into the dangerous trek that these migrants are making. >> griff, you've been down there multiple times, with these stories when you're there for a long time, putting in long hours, there may be a lasting image of a particular visit, something that you take away with you. what's the lasting image of this visit to the border for you? >> well, the lasting image, there's two, really. and the two images tell the
9:12 am
story. the one that we all saw during the cavuto's program when i confronted the smuggler with my terrible spanish, by the way, full disclosure, i have spanish skills of a four or five-year-old spanish speaking child yet the fact that this smuggler was willing to engage me in this sincerity of wanting to have the conversation, he told us a lot of things. first, that the border is very much open, it's not closed in the minds and opinions of the folks on that side of the border. second, that he's making 100 to $200 a day. now, in acuna, the town across from me, they make about 10 or $20 doing the average job they would. so, what would you do if you were living on that side in poverty. you would move the people by coming across. he says he doesn't fear the u.s. officials because they're not arresting any of the smugglers, they don't do that because they don't want to put people carrying babies or elderly people in danger. i saw a walker, a person carried a woman's walker and
9:13 am
they carried her across here, and she was in her 80's. the other interview, she was breaking down in tears and i called her daughter in orlando, and she fled because of maduro's population there killed her son and it was a moving part of the humanitarian sad and tragic part of this they are fleeing to get here, but yet, in their country we don't have the proper immigration process to get them here so she felt she had to come this way. >> griff jenkins live on the front line of the border crisis, we'll get back to you in a few. thank you very much. president biden meeting with the leaders of the nations in cornwall. we'll go there live next. zer ? sorry? well, since you asked. it finds discounts

9:18 am
largest economies can compete with china and their unfair economic practices. and president biden is trying to show the leaders here today that the u.s.'s approach to dealing with china is not going to be to go it alone. >> the u.s. is back and very, very strongly about the cohesion of n.a.t.o. and i, for one, think that the european union is an incredibly strong and vibrant entity that has a lot to do with the ability of western europe to not only handle the economic issues, but provide the backbone and the support for n.a.t.o. >> for their part, the world leaders here are eating that kind of talk up, expressing their appreciation for an end to the trump era america first policies and not so subtle terms. >> what we need is cooperation
9:19 am
and i think it's great to have a u.s. president part of the club and very willing to cooperate. >> when trump was president, and met with vladimir putin, as biden will do in several days, there was a side by side news conference. as of right now, no plans for president biden to do that with putin next week, but officials tale tell us the president is going to mention cyber attacks and crackdown on putin's political rivals in country as putin is sizing up biden and comparing him to trump. >> president biden, of course, is radically different from trump because president biden is a career man and spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics. >> and as the group of seven meets today, the official topic de jour are foreign policy and health and president biden's only one on one meeting with
9:20 am
another leader of the g7, president macron of france just wrapped up. jacqui. jacqui: all right, lots of eyes on that meeting. peter doocy, thanks so much. mike: for more on president biden's time at the g7 summit, let's bring in bill hagerty. senator, welcome. >> great to be with you, mike, thank you. mike: the focus of the g7 seems to be recovering from covid lets, let's see, climate change and reversing president trump's policies. >> when they're talking about cooperation, what they're talking about is capitulation. they don't like the america first policy president trump put forward, it was better for america and better for the world. standing up to iran, russia and china. when we talk about the biden policies, it looks more like america last to me. mike: and this comes as we've
9:21 am
had serious hacks of infrastructure in american interests. how should president biden handle that critical issue at this summit. >> he should press very hard against it and we know where the hacks originated. we cannot let vladimir putin skate on this one. putin has complete of what happens in russia. i heard president biden and not holding accountable. i think the g7, what happens next week when biden is peting with putin. he capitulated on the treaty with russia and the north stream pipeline. and that was categorized as a malign with the administration. it's a huge mistake in walking into the meeting in a position of weakness and that's what they're wondering how he'll
9:22 am
address this meeting. mike: how should he address him. >> he should from a position of strength. we have a border crisis that biden created. look what happened with iran, he's appeasing the largest state sponsor of terror, talking about giving tens of billions to iran, look what happened in israel, all part and parcel of a weak american policy. the chinese are looking at this, they see our biden budget come forward. that in net terms, after inflation actually reduces expenditures on our defense, on homeland security at a time when we should be building upment china certainly is. china now has more ships than we do. putin is looking at this and is america's strength at all in this and he needs to show toughness as well. mike: speaking of china, there is china, how should the united states and some of the wealthiest economies in the world deal with beijing? >> beijing continues to press its influential all over the world. you know, i was u.s. ambassador
9:23 am
to japan before becoming a member of the united states senate. i saw this up close and personal. beijing is pushing militarily, economically as we know, pushing diplomatically as they create influence in the who and the united nations. we've got to push back and our allies need to be with us on this. i hope that president biden continues to push this and continues to reach out to our allies to work with us in the same direction because china is a threat to every nation on this planet. mike: how critical is a transparent probe into the origins of covid which obviously has taken millions of lives around the world and devastated the global economy? >> i think it's absolutely critical. and we certainly can't rely on the who to do it. you saw exactly what happened before. china has such massive influence there. it's really amazing the fact that they are willing to look the other way. the biggest problem though is this got covered up and it's now been well more than a year and it's going to be difficult to get to the bottom of this and we should be pushing to do
9:24 am
just that. mike: obviously, president trump had a different approach on foreign relations and also back at home and seems clubbier with president biden there, does that make you think they might get things done? >> it's hard to say. what president trump did make the european leaders to feel uncomfortable, to step up and fulfill their responsibilities and obligations under n.a.t.o. and they did not like that, but that's what we need to do. we need strong allies and we don't need to continue to appease them and let them skate and america continue to pick up the tab. stronger allies will make for a stronger world and i think that president trump was right in that direction. mike: and are you confident that n.a.t.o. is up to addressing foreign concerns that we have right now? >> week' weakening n.a.t.o.'s position as we speak, allowing that pipeline is putting them allies, ukraine and poland and european nations are protected and have been through n.a.t.o.,
9:25 am
that's the entire purpose of n.a.t.o. is national security for that region and biden administration allowing nord stream two to move forward weakens that. we're taking actions that are detrimental, that are contrary to our position in n.a.t.o. mike: senator, thanks for your time. >> great to be with you, mike. thank you. jacqui: now we'll turn to democratic pennsylvania congresswoman, foreign affairs and armed services committee. congresswoman thank you for being with us. >> thanks for having me. jacqui: we just heard from senator haggerty about the upcoming meeting president biden face-to-face with russian president vladimir putin. i want to pull on one thing he mentioned he said that president biden is going into this meeting from a weak position. do you agree with that? >> i don't necessarily agree with that assessment. a lot of what senator haggerty and i, what he talked about i do agree with in the sense i believe that china has a malign influence and we need to keep
9:26 am
our eyes open and ears open for china and iran and as well as russia, but i don't necessarily believe that we're in a position of weakness with meeting with putin right now. he did mention, as i was listening, the defense budget and it's important that we think where we're spending that defense budget as much as anything. and we also agreed on the fact that we need to be thinking about ships for our u.s. navy and i believe that some of our strongest vulnerabilities are on the issue of cyber security and biosecurity so it's a matter where you're putting your resources not how big they are. jacqui: i want to turn to a challenge at home. a sort of a house divided over progressive congresswoman ilhan omar's comments relating the u.s. and israeli with terrorist groups she did walk back and the squad lashed out at democratic leadership claiming they're fueling attacks. and i want to read the comments
quote
9:27 am
from rasheeda talib. she says freedom of speech doesn't exist for muslim women in congress ap the house democratic relationship should be ashamed of relentness tone policing congress women of color. is it fair for the squad to pass blame over the issue and direct it towards leadership or the media in this case? >> one of the things i like about being a democrat we are a very broad and diverse coalition, one of the other things i think is important for us to understand about any person who is in a position of responsibility and leadership like a member of congress is that words matter so i am really, really grateful to hear that ilhan omar as you said walk back her statement because it matters what we say. i am really glad that we are a caucus of democratic caucus that's willing to speak to one another and call each other on things that may or may not be appropriate at any point in time and that's something that i think we should ask for from all of our leaders on both
9:28 am
sides of the aisles. jacqui: republicans have said that congresswoman ilhan should not have been put on the committee of foreign affairs with her insendry comments. i'll play a sound and let you react. >> this adds to the record. am i satisfied? i'm just frustrated by the continued series of comments targeted at the u.s.-israel relationship. jacqui: so if republicans push to remove congresswoman omar from this committee, is there any fear that democrats might vote with them? >> you know, i obviously can't speak for other people and other democrats, i can share the frustration of you know, the importance of our relationship with israel, a strong u.s.-israel relationship and the importance of recognizing their right to exist is fundamental to a very strong relationship with that
9:29 am
democracy, and the strongest democracy in the middle east. and so, i can't speak for what other democrats would say, but i am similarly disappointed, but grateful that we have those relatively speaking open lines of communication in the body that allow us to have this conversations and dialogs. jacqui: and all of this is really playing out pretty critical time. the president's got a big agenda, he needs to have his party united, but this is exposing a bit of a fault line here. how likely is it that democrats can stick together when you've got the infrastructure plans forming in the house, in the senate. what are you hearing about support for the bills as they're taking shape and whether they can get the support to pass? >> of course. and you know, just like the democrats are a broad coalition, so are the republicans, and what we're looking for is a broad enough coalition on both sides of the aisle we can come to agreement on infrastructure. it's critical and frankly ought not to be a partisan issue. in my opinion is apart san
9:30 am
issue, an issue of security as well as we look at cyber security and cyber incursions. and i'm hopeful no matter what side of the aisle you're on you recognize the robust package, something called the problem solvers caucus mother than 50 members strong both sides of the aisle in the house and as you've probably been reporting a similar group of 10 on the senate side. we've been working bipartisanly and collaboratively to put forward solutions in the infrastructure space. i know that's happening throughout the democratic caw cause and the republican caucus bus we need to figure out how to get to yes on this. jacqui: thank you so much. we've run out of time. thank you nor joining us. >> you're welcome. thank you for having me. mike: our guy griff at the border has more coming up. griff. griff: mike, since january tens of thousands of migrants have crossed over this property. you'll hear exclusively from the property owner coming up.

>> we're here along the rio grande. the drone showing a picture of the same river, but here in del rio right at this dilapidated old bridge is where venezuelans come across every day in a group of 100, 150. come up the banks of this private property. there are a group of 100, 150. every afternoon at least once, sometimes twice in that group since the beginning of january. call it 3 to 5,000 a month to now you're talking about 15 to 20,000. imagine what it must be like to be the property owner of this private property to have that kind of traffic of venezuelans coming acrossment well, marsha morgan is kind enough to talk to us. marsha, what is it like to have this crisis coming through your property? >> well, there's a huge mix of
9:36 am
emotions, you know, it angers me, definitely when this first started occurring they would come through our property which is definitely posted no trespassing and they would camp out here on our property and that's when we started seeing videos and pictures of them coming in and trashing our property, throwing clothing, you know, just wherever, you know, that they chose to do so. so anyway, i just, i hate it as a land owner and it's not just me. now, i know our ranchers are having issues with their fences being cut and their love stock and wildlife are escaping and that's people's livelihoods in many cases. but it's so frustrating because our law enforcement is here and they're doing what they can with the powers that they have, you know. one told me two days ago that it was as if he had a screwdriver when he needed a wrench. their hands are tied and we
9:37 am
need to let all of our agents do their jobs and quit holding them back and this biden administration has just got to step up and do something. griff: let me ask you, marsha, you feel like vice-president kamala harris went to guatemala and she said she would come here and didn't give a date. do you think she should come here. >> she definitely should come here, i don't know that it will make changes. i see no effort bringing awareness to the situation. it's a crisis here and they have created it. i'm not hearing any information as to how they're justifying it. you know, people keep telling me, you know, it's due to-- they're wanting the votes and what have you, but i would just like to hear their justification of the situation and you know, they need to quit trying to cover up the seriousness of the situation, and you know, bring the full,
9:38 am
you know, crisis to light. you know, this country needs to know what is truly taking place here. griff: as we see some video of the migrants crossing your property, they range from babies to you and i were here when they carried a walker over, elderly folks, but when you're here, you talk about the administration and hear the administration continuing to say that the border is closed what do you say? >> oh, you know, that's unbelievable they can stand there and say that. that's a total lie. now, flat-out lie. i watch them, you know, they either come up behind my property along the road, day after day or two days ago i sat here and waited and i actually saw them cross the river and i knew they were heading directly to my gate to cross through my property. that was the most disgusting feeling i have ever felt in my life. griff: marsha morgan, thank you for letting me see this
9:39 am
firsthand and our thoughts and prayers are with you as you get through this, thank you. >> thank you for being here to report this. griff: all right. mike and jacqui, back to you. >> youtube is us is spending senator ron johnson for seven days after he posted videos touting experimental covid treats like hydroxychloroquine citing improper, and good afternoon to you. >> youtube says it suspended the account because of the content. but he says it's because of sense censoring conservatives. and with the milwaukee club, he because of discussing. >> and johnson fired back and
9:40 am
said mainstream media think they're smarter than medical doctors who devoted their lives to science and decided one viewpoint allowed dictated by government agencies. the senator says that youtube, owned by google, has too much power. and most agree that the biggest tech companies deserve more oversight. this week, a group of lawmakers unveiling bills designed to do that, these lawmakers want to give them more authority to break up tech monopolies and to assure there's fair competition in the marketplace. >> they know what you have purchased. they know your medical history. they know everything about you and if you aren't in control of that data and some monopoly is, it's very dangerous not just to our speech rights, but to our personal safety. >> while, there's certainly some bipartisan support for these measures, this is considered an uphill battle for congress. big tech has a lot of influence

9:52 am
and show site magazine editor in chief. thank you for being with us. >> hi, great to be here with you. >> my first question to you, i understand the show has been at madison square garden since 1877 and this year relocated because of the pandemic. and the state. in hudson valley. how different for the dogs and handlers? >> the dogs are used to this life style. they compete at shows around the country, indoors, outdoors, and in all kinds of facilities. so they can handle this show whether we are at madison square garden or whether we're here in the beautiful estate in lindhurst in terrytown. jacqui: i understand you have 206 breed 2500 dogs and four new breeds are allowed to compete this year. can you tell me about that? >> yes, as you said, the four new breeds are competing for the first time at westminster, they're from france, from
9:53 am
belgium. terrier from germany and dog from argentina. as with every show the dogs that compete her represent cultures from around the world and this year, those dogs are competing at westminster for the very first time. >> so correct me if i'm wrong, i understand this is judged based on how well the dog performs tasks they were bred to do. can you describe the judging that goes into this? >> yes, so westminster is a confirmation show. and so, each breed is being judged according to its standard. so the breed standard describes the dog's purpose, what was bred to do originally. many of the dogs that compete here are still doing those jobs and it's the judge's task to sort through the dogs of every single breed to determine which best represents that dog that's described in the standard. that's going on here today.
9:54 am
and that show is live streamed and later on this evening we're going to see each and every winner, breed winner, compete in the four groups tonight and three groups tomorrow night. jacqui: are there any early favorites for overall best in show? >> that's a really good question, jacqui. of course, there are favorites. i will not say who my favorite is, but every dog that's here has been waiting all year to get here. there have not been very many shows last year, as you might imagine, with the pandemic. a lot of shows were canceled and some of these dogs had just been showing a little bit last year and right now into this year. and the great thing about a dog show, jacqui, every dog shows up expecting the opportunity to win and really can be any dog's chance this year. there are always favorites as in any sport, but you know, dog shows are known for surprises and you may see some surprises
9:55 am
today, but we'll have to tune in to see which dog it is. jacqui: last year the winner a standard poodle. a beautiful dog. >> yes. jacqui: can a standard poodle win again? or is there some sort of a system to this? >> no, a standard poodle can win and in fact, if sheba was entered this year, i don't know that she is, but if she is, and win her group she could still advance to the best in show. there have been several dogs in the show's 145-year history that have won the show more than twice. in fact, the first three westminsters were won by the same. and sheba would have as good a chance as any dog. jacqui: that's great. what a great day to watch this really fun competition. dan, thank you for being with us. >> you're welcome. mike: one our in--

military. meanwhile the flow of migrants shows no signs of slowing. welcome to fox news live, i'm mike emanuel. jacqui: i'm jacqui heinrich and this is happening as greg abbott advocates to build his own wall on the border. griff: i'm in del rio, the sector, la joya is to my east and we are in del rio, migrants have come to the wall, old wall from haiti and cuba and they've surrendered and they've come from the river which is about mile down the dirt road behind them and they know to come and the border patrol processing just so you sort of figure what is happening, you see one border patrol agent. that's why they are overwhelmed, overworked and there's only one here. if you spin with me for a second, i will show you yaw have the valverde county sheriffs
10:01 am
here. it's a joint law enforcement effort between the local authorities, the sheriffs, the state, dps and the border patrol. it takes all of them to get it under control. the border patrol van in the distance is what the one agent has come on and he's going the take the agents and put them in there and process them. but thankfully there was the sheriff valverde county sheriffs deputy to receive the migrants as you see them now. now you can see they have come wearing clean clothes, they've come peacefully across the river, they've got -- some of them the belongs. the agents separating them into the different countries, into different groups and you'll see them now being walked over and processed being put into the border patrol van. and in this sector, remember, they are seeing about a thousand migrants a day crossing in this area since i have been here. the 7 days that i've been here, over 7,000 migrants from 35 different countries. this is cuba and haiti.
10:02 am
a very large number coming from both of those. the most -- the largest country that we get migrants from in this area is venezuela. watch them get on here now. now, the wall specifically you saw that they walked up to the gate. the migrants are told on the other side exactly where they should go. they are told there's a road right on the other side, you walk right up to that gate and the authorities will find you, process you and take you away. this border patrol agent working long hours, working by himself in this case will have to go and process them and you know what, he will get another call and he will have to come right back until the shift ends. it's a round the clock. let me show you the wall. in the situation that you have here, this is old wall and on the side of it, you can see that they're having to replace and repair parts of that. in another section just up the road, we saw where that part of the repairs was actually
10:03 am
migrants had lifted it up and crawled under. now if you come with this way, brian, and i hate to drag you all over the place, but this construction right now was the foundation for president trump's new wall. in the distance you can see a tinny piece of it. it's 30 feet tall but this foundation, the construction on it stopped. people here tell me that on the morning of the inauguration day they were building this, by noon they had stopped n. the distance let me show you how they are trying to control it. that's the helicopter, air and marine operations with border patrol. they usually are patrolling it but trying the catch the ones that cross and do not want to surrender. they want to evade being captured for whatever reason it is that they are and that's how they use the helicopters to try and really locate those that don't want to come to the places they know to go. but the situation here, it's really -- if the administration would come and see it, you would
10:04 am
see it old wall needing to be repaired, new wall that was stopped and halted. there's literally a fence built around a fence that have been stopped constructing next to an old fence that's broken and needs repairs. now we've talked to a local sheriff named randy brown from medina county. he's about 100 miles north exactly of where i'm standing, west of san antonio. he feels in the interior the narcotics, the human smuggling and stash houses, he believes that if they would build walls here it would help his problem inland here sheriff brown what he had to say, listen. from you spend any time, you seen some of what's going on. we deal with daily. we are 100 miles from the border. we deal with it daily and it's time consuming and we need to get to the number 8 or 9 or whatever number he talked about to where we are going to have the border barricades and finish
10:05 am
the wall. and that's what we need to get to. griff: now what he was saying number 8 or 9, governor abbott at the border security summit came and allocated 1 billion and announced he was going to do a big effort to build his own wall if the administration won't, that really resounded with him. we can see now is -- another van has arrived. we are not sure if more migrants have arrived. they are doing this around the clock. sheriffs local level law enforcement to federal border patrol, also the statewide deputy of public safety, dps, they are leading the statewide effort in the crisis. we talked to colonel steve mcdraw, he's the head of dps and no surprise, he also wants the wall, listen. >> absolutely. anybody who knows that in law enforcement and law enforcement professional will tell you, you can be proactive or the military for that regard, if there's a
10:06 am
way to tell and prevent and put in place the type of infrastructure that the needed and the technology and the beats on the ground, at the end of the day you need to put hands on people. >> now just to really drive home the point of the wall, since i first started, mike and jacqui covering the border 11 years when the governor wanted to help get the crisis under control, i heard three things that agents need today get under control, they wanted manpower, obviously more boots on the ground, they wanted technology, we've got a lot of it now between cameras and drones and they wanted infrastructure. well, that infrastructure part isn't what they have here. and if you look at the disarray that this sector is, this is not only not serving as a barrier to try and really drive migrants to one central location, it's also
10:07 am
a danger for the agents who have to deal with migrant particularly when they come through the soft areas and try and go inland because they have to pursue them. that's a situation right here as they wrap up this operation right now. i've told off camera it's not the first of the morning and it's far from the last for the day. guys. jacqui: griff, one question for you, we have spoken about this before, the white house is under pressure to get rid of title 42, it's the trump-era provision that allowed pandemic expulsions under public health guidelines particularly for people who are not children. is the law enforcement on the ground prepared in case title 42 goes away and that provision to turn people away at the border is removed? griff: jacqui, every border official in the nation watching your question right now is
10:08 am
extremely interested in the answer that i'm about to give you because every single one of them knows that if they lift title 42, it's going to increase the numbers incredibly and the numbers are at unprecedented level we haven't seen in more than 20 years. i will give you an example. in the april numbers, 178,000 encounters roughly. there were 111,000 of that 178 that were expelled under title 42. so if they lifted, well, they're not going to be expelled in that number. now the administration has only said that they're taking a look at it. they've made no specific decision or indicated how they may or may not lift it but i will tell you right now, the officials right here are very worried about it because they can't sustain the numbers. they don't want to make any more decisions, they don't want administration to make more decision that is could further increase it not only because they don't want to that hard but because of the tragic humanity that it's leading to and the control it's giving cartels to
10:09 am
run such a large organized operation and really overrun the officials on this side, jacqui. jacqui: last question for you, griff, have you seen processing or holding facilities? i know that when mayorkas was down there no too long ago touting that there was improvements in the conditions and how packed they were just a few short months ago. what does the situation look like now? >> well, the short answer to your question is no. the one thing i haven't seen and i've seen everything. i even went in the river myself as we saw, confronted smugglers. i got to ride with the chief austin for a very long extensive tour on the river on an airboat. i've been to every location where the migrants come across, but the headquarters in washington would still not allow me to go into the facility. there's a giant migrant center in eagle pass just to my east,
10:10 am
still part of this del rio sector. in fairness to the administration, i should also report that the number of children in hhs, government custody has gone down. last month from 23,000 to just over 16,000 was the latest dhs unaccompanied child report that i read this morning. so perhaps it's getting better but one thing that they're not allowing is to do to see it and show it to the american people. jacqui: well, hopefully that changes at some point. griff, thank you so much for your hard work down there. appreciate it. mike: out of control. yet another passenger loses it on a crowded flight. we will tell you what happened next. ♪ ♪ ♪

10:20 am
with russian president vladimir putin, but the recent randsome wear attacks, colonial pipelines, jbs meat processing allegedly by russian hackers, how does that signal by president biden and what does he need to accomplish in light of the new challenges? >> look, this whole trip is really just been setting up for the president to go out and demonstrate that the president goes out. it's the whole thing is just a complete nothing-burger with nothing sauce in it aside from nothing and i think the -- the putin-biden meeting will be as the g-7. i mean, all we've really learned so far that the joe biden grandpa, friendly smiley face. we saw pew poll numbers that said america's images is on the rebound. the problem with that is that's not -- this is great power competition and countries look at power, not this niceness. so this whole thing is going to
10:21 am
wear pretty thin. i think they'll -- they'll work their way through this summit but it'll be like the g7, nothing substantive will come out of it. jacqui: okay, how about with respect to china? this past week secretary of defense lloyd austin warned on the hill that china is taking increasingly aggressively military exposure expanding military footprint. what does president biden need to accomplish in the meeting with the allies with respect to china? >> that's the second great attribute of biden foreign policy that we have seen g-7, kind of the grandpa image. he has that down. the other his finger waving. we should all do something about this but they -- people don't care about words, they care about what they do. let me give you an example, if biden really did want to lead the free world and poke china in the face and really get their attention, he would walk in the g-7 meeting and say, we should all stand up together, go to the
10:22 am
phones, stand in front of the microphone and say, we all want the olympics moved. why should we hold the olympics in a country that unlearned a pandemic on the world and the world's leading sponsor of genocide today. we should all want the olympics in a different place. the president did that, i'd respect him but i think all we are really getting is finger waving. we should all do something about this. of course, they all nod and say, yes, we should and they will go back to what they did the day before. jacqui: you talk about want to go take a stance in olympics but do you discount what happened this morning? there's a report out that president biden urged european nations and japan to counter china's growing economic security influence by organizing a direct alternative to the belt and road initiative. the chinese overseas lending and spread to go africa, latin america, is that not substantive? >> let me give you a great example of how -- they could do all all the puppet wave they
10:23 am
want but where is the real substance of policy? we have in central europe an alternative to belt and road. it's called the 3c's initially. imkate from the central european countries and this administration, yeah, we are all in favor of that but the organization that actually would fund the u.s. participation, the dfc says we don't want to do that and neither the secretary of state nor the president of the united states have said, no, we should fund this. so they're not really serious about pushing back on china. they're serious about saying, we should all do something. biden first thing that said, we are pulling out of afghanistan, then he turns around to turkey and said, can you guys please guard the airport. so his idea of leadership is, we are going home, you guys handle this stuff. this is not going to work well very long. jacqui: to your point, the white house didn't make any financial commitments and in announcing that this morning so, of course, understanding that a lot of people want to see dollars on the table before putting any stock in this.

10:34 am
that the governor wants to build his own wall. the administration doesn't. do you feel that walls help law enforcement? >> well, it helps us for this particular wall here that is unfinished as you well know. a few come and just put back the way it was or finish this little piece, that'll i liveuate our resources, we don't have to be here because as you can tell, they are climbing over, crawling under it. it would help us put in a wall beyond the two points that we have here, you know, a mile in this direction would help protect our community and put people beyond that wall. so it would help us a little bit. griff: sheriff, joe frank martinez, valverdee county. it's really been the sheriff who has helped us get around with the border patrol chief, austin and the dps guys, the combined law enforcement, local, federal that has helped us to tell the

story here that as you can see is out of control. they've never seen it this way, the sheriff said and it's just going to keep coming until they feel the administration takes steps to try and get it under control. guys. mike: griff jenkins doing a phenomenal job at the southern border. griff, thanks very much. >> the communist regime used the same critical theory as white people, the only difference is they use class instead of race. mike: virginia mother who survived the culture revolution in china and voicing frustrations. joining to react, our panel, steve gruber and radio show host and civil rights attorney robert patillo. gentlemen, welcome. >> thanks, mike. mike: steve, let me get the reaction to the woman we heard
10:36 am
here, that was in loudon county virginia, your take and overall issue. >> you are seeing pushback in the country. average americans are fed up that america is a bad place and parents are realizing after ignoring at city council level and county commission level and politics are local. a lot of folks didn't pay attention to the racists and realize how important it is to have good people on school boards because it affects their children and honestly, ron desantis is right, stop teaching kids to hate each other and loudon county we heard variety of voices including that woman who said it's all based in cultural marxism. it's a concern that we are dividing ourselves, she says in a different way but similar way. you know, hyphenating america and deveiting and doing identity politics, there's no good outcome to any of this. when you teach a white child oppressor and the black child they are a victim and teach to hate their country, i don't see
10:37 am
how there's a good outcome on any of this. .mike: robert, i will play a clp and then you respond. >> we have sat here with apathy, disinterest and distraction for years and that is what has happened right under our very noses. but it did take a pandemic to start to rouse us from our sleep. mike: he will be our guest tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. earn. robert, your thoughts? >> this is a continue weaponization and a lot of people are upset about something they have no idea about. let's understand, america 17th overall in education and people rating school boards over critical race theory which is not taught in elementary school and not taught until graduate school level. republicans and conservatives do this every couple of. two years it was common core they were mad about and before
10:38 am
that michelle obama putting salads in lunch and sharia law. because they continue to try to destroy public schools and destroy teachers unions they try to upset parents. instead they need to be concentrating on what will provide best educational outcomes for students instead of fighting against things that do not exist. none of these people have read deboise, many do not know what they're fighting against. it's a means to distract them on education in the country. mike: steve, i've been out there talking to a lot of parents to say what they object to is basically it divides children and makes them see race when young kids don't typically see race and it also makes them feel badly either that their ancestors were oppressors or victims, your thoughts? >> you're exactly right and i agree with robert and so far as we trail behind in science,
10:39 am
math, technology. we should be focused on those things and not teaching a strange 16, 19 history of america when america didn't become a country until 1776 and teaching children to hate each other, that america unfair racist mean-spirited place and millions around the world want to come america not because it's a bad place but because it's still the shining on the hill. we should teach science and math and actual accurate history. i agree with robert. mike: in loudon county, virginia the last day of school is tuesday, i'm curious, robert, whether over the summer the issue will heat up or maybe they'll be cooling over the summer recess. >> just with common core a couple of, republicans will move to other culture war issues to fight about. what was just described is not
10:40 am
what critical race theory is in any way, shape or form. what they do is fighting the wrong battle instead of addressing educational system. what will we do in a state like georgia where you outlaw critical race theory, what is it going to do for scholarships, what is it going to go to college exams instead of talking about the irish americans or what happened to italian americans during 18th century, recoup and creating legal framework to equalize citizens going forward. it's not simply about black and white but teaching accurate history and some states want to teach a false version of history and make it more difficult for students and found critical race year they are eye and decided they will make that the new boogie man to scare parents instead of addressing problems in the education system. mike: we have to leave it there, gentlemen, robert, steve gruber,

jacqui: violent start to the weekend in chicago, savannah leaving several dead and others in critical condition. more on tragic events of last night we go to christina coleman in los angeles, christina. christina: hi, jacqui, dangerous spike in crime here in los angeles county, la and other major cities across the country. just last night a 13-year-old and a 2-year-old were injured in a shooting in savannah, georgia. 3 apartments and six cars were hit with gunfire. one person was killed and a total of 8 were injured. this happened just 3 blocks from police headquarters. they're investigating a motive, no suspects were arrested and people who live there were horrified an upset. >> it's a large scene.
10:47 am
there's multiple people in different places. i looked around and checked on the neighbors, there's bullet holes in people's doors, their screen doors were shout-out. i'm just so upset at this moment and try to find a way to make some kind of sense out of it. christina: it was another deadly and dangerous early morning in chicago. police say two men open fire on a crowd in city south side, 10 people were shot, one woman died. the other victims were listed in either good or fair condition. it's unclear what sparked the shooting, police are still searching for the suspects. and in austin, texas police are trying to figure out who opened fire on the city's popular sixth street earlier this morning. that area filled with lots of bars and people were out and about when shots went off. 11 victims were taken to the hospital, two are in critical condition. >> it's not clear at this point what started this off or why this happened.
10:48 am
but out of an abundance of caution, we have notified the fbi's joint terrorist task force which comes out on active-shooter type scenarios in order to help with those investigations. christina: this all adds to the sharp spike in violence in major cities across the country. the staggering numbers show the dramatic increase in homicides and shootings compared to this time last year. shootings are up 77% in new york city and 120% in portland and this rise in violence comes amid the defund the police movement. a number of police officers have decided to leave the profession, leaving a number of police departments understaffed. jacqui. jacqui: christina coleman live in los angeles, thank you so much. mike: small business owners running to be governor of my great state of new jersey.

>> mike, great to be with you. mike: i am from westfield, new jersey, that probably means new jersey politics runs through my blood. >> 135, i know, mike. mike: all right, so new jersey has a million more democrats registered than republicans. how do you overcome what could be a simple math problem? >> well, there may be more democrats than republicans but they're not stupid. phil murphy's record has failed us but know this. over the last four decades republicans have won 6 of the last ten gubernatorial elections in the state. when it comes to gubernatorial we are purple state with a tint of red. mike: do you see a path of potentially being able to provide some tax relief to your voters? >> absolutely, mike. i'm an mba, cpa and two-time successful business owner here in new jersey. i've employed fellow new jerseyans, that's not something that murphy can say. i know what needs to be done to lower property taxes and exactly
10:54 am
what needs to be done the tax code to make new jersey a better place to do business so we can create more jobs. by the way, those are two things phil murphy never talking about, property tax crisis and the fact that new jersey is the worst place in the nation in which to do business. mike: as a dad, i think parents are worried about the impact covid has had on our children's education. are you concerned about basically a new school year and how you make sure that kids make up for lost time in the classroom? >> with if you will murphy as a governor i'm concerned with cozy relationship with the teachers union leadership. he has shown no leadership on this issue in terms of getting our children back in school and he should be doing everything possible with the joe biden money that's been given to him to ensure school districts will be open come september. i will be guarantying it. mike: so new jersey obviously has a reputation of being a blue state but known for electing republican governors. would help from the last republican governor chris
