arthel: how republicans he demanding president biden remove vice president harris from her role in overseeing the southern border as the surge of migrants crossing into the u.s. continues. customs and border patrol saying they encountered just over 180,000 migrants last month alone. hello, everyone. happy juneteenth. welcome to "fox news live." i'm arthel neville. hi, eric. eric: hi, arthel. hello, everyone. thank you and welcome. i'm air sean. the dire situation at the border is one of several big stories we're following today. there's also tropical storm

claudette, battering the gulf coast, flooding rains and high winds going on now and america, as arthel just said, commemor the end of slavery. we are looking at the juneteenth celebrations across the country, marking the new federal holiday. arthel: and we have live fox team coverage. aishah hasnie is in harlem on those celebrations, jonathan sarey is live in new orleans with the latest on the storm. bill lujain starts our coverage live on the border in la jolla texas. >> reporter: it's been three months since vp kamala harris was assigned as the so-called border czar, assigned to oversee the border situation and she still has not physically come down to the border, 56 house republicans have sent a letter to president biden saying you need to yank her out of this role as the border czar because she's not getting the job done. to that point, take a look at the video we shot this morning. the surge continues day in and

day out, night, day, hot, cold, doesn't matter. they're coming every day. this is la jolla, texas. we see it play out like clock work every morning. this is a group of 40 or so migrant whose gave themselves up to border patrol after they crossed the rio grande. earlier this week we heard texas governor greg abbott announce he plans to build a texas border wall. he announced plans to have local deputies and state troopers make more arrests, particularly of runner whose were coming across the border. he said they should bring them up on trespassing charges, anything to get them in custody, into a jail cell, to try to send a message. a former border patrol sector chief said the strategy might end up working that a listen. >> if you're able to arrest them for trespassing, you're able to place them in jail and have a court date and say it's 45, 60 days. that means you took those guys, the smugglers off their business

for 45, 60 days. that provides the pretty strong deterrent effect is what we've seen in the last 30 years, as least for border patrol. >> reporter: and greg abbott put out a call for help to other states and the call is being answered by florida governor ron de santis. he is sending florida law enforcement to texas to supplement extra boots on the ground to help out the state troopers, to help out the border patrol officers down here. ron de santis saying that this is a problem for the entire country, not just the state of texas. we talked to some texas state troopers who were thrilled to hear they're going to get the help from florida. take a listen. >> we welcome them as far as coming over here to help us. it says a lot especially from the governor of florida to deploy his officers, his law enforcement to the southern border to help combat the current situation right now. >> reporter: and part of the reason why they need the extra boots on the ground is when the family units come across the

border, border patrol resources get sucked up, they're busy processing the women and children. what happens is the cartels will send runners, young men elsewhere on the border where border patrol can't be everywhere at once. some of the guys get through, some get caught. this past thursday in the rio grande valley sector, they intercepted a gang member and an individual with a rape condition out of the state -- rape conviction out of the state of new york. they were caught but the big question is how many are getting through that aren't caught. arthel: that is a big question. thank you. eric. eric: portland, oregon, in the wakes of months of violent street protests there, some police officers have had enough. the police union at the fending their unprecedented move, the department's entire rapid response team resigned after prosecutors charged one of their colleagues with assault stemming from last summer's riots. the officers will stay on the

force in other roles but the union says the officers who quit the force say, quote, they were left with no other alternative than to quit that rapid he response team -- rapid response team. christina coleman following this developing story in los angeles. this is a message to police officers who have been under siege. >> reporter: that's right, eric. the union says these 50 officers on the riot control squad had enough of the anti-police and anti-public safety sentiment. the union released a statement saying in part, quote, until now, they have continued to come to work every day exhausted and injured. the only glue holding the team together was their commitment, dedication and integrity to serve their community. but that glues dissolved when political venom demonized the public servants for doing what they were tasked to do, restore peace and order in our city. when elected officials turn nightly violence into political banter for their own personal agenda, those actions put rapid

response team members and public safety at risk. also, the crowd control unit stepping down comes as crime surges in portland. homicides are up 533% compared to this time last year and shootings were up 72%. now, the regular patrol officers who respond to gun violence will be called in to deal with crowd control since the police department just lost the team of officers specially trained to deal with riots. the riot patrol quad quit partly in response to an officer being charged with an assault during one of the mini violent protests. the officer was cleared of wrong-doing by the department's use of fort experts. the crowd control unit stepping down after this indictment is part of a trend of officers nationwide taking action after what they consider anti-police sentiment. >> we have seen the numbers of law enforcement officers

continue delling, the -- dwindling and retirements surging and crime as a result has been skyrocketing. >> reporter: portland city commissioner says she supports the da's efforts to hold police officers accountable and the da is reviewing other use of force incidents from last year's riots. eric. eric: christina, thank you. arthel. arthel: christina and a eric, now to weather as a new threat in the gulf coast, tropical storm claudette, battering states from mississippi to the florida panhandle with flooding rains and high winds, hours after it came ashore in southeast louisiana early this morning. let's go live now to new orleans where we find jonathan serrey there in the french quarter at jackson square. jonathan. >> reporter: that's right, arthel. and you know, it's strange, the storm is to lopsided that while much of the southeast is getting heavy rain, in new orleans the sun is coming out and there's a

long line outside cafe dumond, people waiting for half an hour to get beignets and coffee. claudette came ashore in southeastern louisiana. the main concern has been heavy rain. the storm caused flooding in sl idell on the other side of lake pontchartrain. most of the rain has receded but they had to clear 40 to 50 vehicles that got stuck in the floodwaters and they rescued several stranded motorists including a woman who was on the way to the hospital because she afeared be going into labor. because of the lopsided nature of this storm, the worst rain extended far east from the center. some residents shored up homes and businesses with sandbags. their concern was the storm would add more water to drainage

ditch that's are saturated from previous storms. the emergency management agency tweeted dangerous flash flooding may occur in southern alabama. do not drive into flooded roadways if you can't tell how deep it is, turn around, don't drown. claudette is expected to weaken as it continues to move over land. remnants could cause problems for the carolina as we go further into the weekend. arthel, back to you. arthel: we'll be watching that for you right here on "fox news live." jonathan, thank you. and a different problem for more than 40 million people in the drought-stricken southwest. a blistering heat wave scorching multiple states, raising the dangers of wildfires and threatening the health of vulnerable populations like the homeless and those in low income neighborhoods. temperatures soaring over 100 degrees also raising concerns about electrical grid failures. eric. eric: wow.

pretty scorching. president biden is talking up covid vaccinations. he says the u.s. has administered more than 300 million shots so far. the cdc estimates that about 45% of us are now fully vaccinated but the president is warning that we must not let our guard down as that new delta variant that was first detected in india, well, it is spreading across the country. >> the new variant will leave unvaccinated people even more vulnerable than they are a month ago or a month ago. it's a variant that is more easily transmissible, potentially deadlier and particularly dangerous for young people but the good news is, we have the solution. the science and the data are clear. the best way to protect yourself against these variants are to get fully vaccinated. eric: health officials say that delta variant makes up about 10% of the reported cases so far

here in our country but it could be the dominant source of infection later on this summer. arthel. arthel: eric, americans across the nation today celebrating juneteenth, marking the freeing of slaves in texas two years after the civil war ended. many states had already adopted the holiday over the years but president biden signed a bill thursday making it an official federal holiday. let's go aishah hasnie, she is live in harlem with more of the celebrations. happy juneteenth, aishah. >> reporter: happy juneteenth to you, arthel. nim a big block party in historic harlem. via surprise for you. i met beautiful young ladies here and we're going to put on a show for you. this is the the a-stars dance group from harlem here. these girls, 8-16 years old, and they're going to give us a little performance. go ahead, girls. go ahead. okay. it's starting. there we go. we've got to wait for their you music. there they go and they're so

awesome. there's live performances here tonight. there's food vendors, games for kids, celebrations really taking place all across new york city and across the country today. go ahead and check out that video from dallas. hundreds of people -- good job, ladies. hundreds of people took part in a juneteenth walk in dallas today. there was also a huge musical festival at atlanta's centennial park as well. the pacific park ferris wheel bill lit up tonight for juneteenth. this week, president biden officially made juneteenth national independence day, a federal holiday, the first since martin luther king, junior day four decades ago. also known as jubilee day, em orliberation day. this marks the day slaves in texas learned they were free, two years after emancipation. it's a hugely important day and it's a long time coming.

>> this day will mean representation so that kids that we're speaking of in 20 years will be able to say i'm represented, i feel a part. that's what america is, we're celebrating everybody. we're known in new york for being a huge melting pot and now with juneteenth, the african-american community can really feel a part of that huge melting pot. >> reporter: and arthel, you know, organizers here on the ground tell us that this is so important for future generations, 20 years from now the kids that are alive today, like the girls you just saw, 20 years from now they will really feel like they belong and they will really feel like they're recognized in their country because of this holiday. arthel. arthel: absolutely. and tell all the ladies that i really appreciated their performance. i was clapping in the studio. thanks for the treat. aishah hasnie live in harlem. thank you. >> reporter: you bet. arthel: eric. eric: deeply meaningful. the they have great weather here in new york.

arthel: the faith and freedom coalition holding its annual conference in florida, featuring top republican lawmakers with an eye towards winning back majorities in the house and senate in next year's midterm elections. florida governor ron de santis delivers the keynote address today after -- this is days after he announced he's sending state law enforcement to help secure the southern border in texas and arizona. let's go to mark meredith, he is live in kissimmee, florida with more. hi, mark. >> reporter: arthel, good afternoon. this year's conference is kind of a chance for republicans to push the reset button, try figure out how they'll be able to build up grass roots support ahead of the midterm elections. while the ballroom is empty right now. later tonight it is expected to be packed. attendees will hear from florida governor ron de santis. he is starting to make a name

for himself nationally, after the p covid-19 pandemic, allowing his state to reopen faster than some other states. he has not announced a plan to launch a national campaign, but he is starting to reach out religious voters in the state, signing into a law a bill that will require each k-12 school to hold a moment of silence every day. >> we think that it's something that's important, to be able to provide each student the ability every day to be able to reflect and to be able to pray as they see fit. >> reporter: former vice president mike pence spoke a lot about his faith during his speech on friday and while he's kept a fairly low profile since leaving the white house in january, he appeared eager to be back in the political spotlight, offering up fresh criticism of the biden administration. >> the biden administration and washington democrats pushing open borders, higher taxes, run-away spending, defunding the police, abortion on demand, censoring free speech, canceling our most cherished liberties,

the time has come for every american dedicated to faith and freedom to stand up and be heard and turn back the agenda. >> reporter: as pence was taking the stage, a handful of people started to heckle the former vice president, some even shouting the word traitor. i'm told that eight people were forced out of the ballroom. however, pence was able to go on with the rest of his speech. some top republicans are coming to his defense, saying he was nothing but loyal to former president trump. speaking of trump, he was invited to this year's conference but declined to attend. we've seen a lot of supporters in the audience. we'll see what kind of he reaction they might have tonight as well. arthel. arthel: mark meredith, thank you. eric: back now to one of our top stories, 56 house republicans have signed a letter to president biden, they've asked him to remove vice president harris from her role overseeing the migrant crisis at

the southern border. they write, quote, despite being in the midst of a border crisis, vice president harris has not yet shown adequate interest in observing this crisis firsthand. it's been 85 days since the vice president has been tasked with solving the cries civiles she has yet to visit the border and meet with officials and local law enforcement officials. one of the republicans that signed the letter joins us now, congresswoman yvette herrell, a member of the house committee on oversight and reform. she was recently at the border herself. congresswoman, why do you want the vice president to step aside when it comes to the migrant crisis? >> well, clearly you can tell the letter really speaks the truth. if she really had a concern about what's happening on the southern border, she would have made an effort to come down here and see it for herself and i myself had written her and invited her to new mexico so she could see what our farmers,

families, communities along the southern border are dealing with on a daily basis. eric: what was the answer to your letter? >> we are still waiting for an answer. in fact, i invited her down and i also asked her to take me with her to guatemala and mexico so if we are serious about addressing this issue, we could have bipartisan conversations but to date we haven't received any response from the vice president. eric: some supporters would say look, all she has to do is turn on the tv and see the situation. she's been having meetings with officials. she did go down as you point out to guatemala and mexico city to deal with the root causes. some would say she is addressing the issue. >> well, i really don't think she is, because we need to look at the bigger picture. less than 40% of the people coming here illegally are coming from the northern triangle countries. so we have those coming here from russia, from haiti, from brazil, from romania. i mean, that's a very small part of the problem. but to not see it firsthand and

understand what kind of serious issue this is for our communities, our law enforcement, border patrol, it doesn't make sense and i think it's a dereliction of her duty as border czar to not want to be down here and understand this issue and do something about it and work with us across the aisle to fix the crisis at the border. eric: you know, she famously in guatemala told me don't come. but it appears they're not listening. do you think the administration should reverse some of the policies that they took that reversed the trump policies like the remain in mexico or the fact they stopped the wall and this sort of thing. >> absolutely. the policies that president trump and his administration put into place, the remain in mexico, title 42, building the border wall, those were working. and ever since the election, actually on the day of the election when people understood we were going to have a very porous border and we stopped construction of the border wall, we've just opened the southern

border and really what is so sad is the mortality rate. the death toll is climbing. two people within 24 hours that were trying to come to our border coming across new mexico died because of heat exhaustion. this is unacceptable. this is dangerous for not only the american people, but for those that are putting their lives at risk to come to the southern border. so they're clearly not listening the to what our border czar is saying when she says don't come. eric: and finally, i mean, we've seen how scorching the temperatures are. i've been down to southern park on the border, you can put one foot on one side of the border in the u.s., you can put the other foot on the other side in mexico. i was told by the border patrol agent, young guy, that if i did that, they were going to send me over to -- i would have to walk to officially get back into the country. i didn't have my passport with me. people don't realize exactly, you know, how porous some of this area -- some of the areas

are. what was it like for you when you recently went down there and what do you hope to see? >> well, i've been very engaged with the border issue and of course i made four trips down there and taking not only the codell or the oversight committee and then again going down congressman babin and his group, showing people what we're dealing with and the gaps in the wall are hugely -- they're a huge problem. they're creating funnels if you will. the people coming across in new mexico, these are folks that don't want to be caught by the border patrol. these people are ms-13 gang members, coyotes, part of the car he'll, very dangerous conditions for people that live in and around the border. you have to see it to understand the vastness of the problem along the southern border. eric: congresswoman yvette herrell, thank you for joining us. for the record, i did not -- i did not step over the border. you could. it was right there. it was pretty amazing how easy

where i was it was. congresswoman, thank you. arthel. >> you're welcome, thank you. arthel: that's because you have good sense, eric. a bipartisan infrastructure plan is gaining more republican support on capitol hill. but one key part of it is a source of contention that could be a deal breaker for president biden. we'll have details on that, coming up next. i brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks!

arthel: it's the bottom of the hour. time for other stories we're following. shocking video in new york city, a gunman shoots an alleged gang member on a sidewalk in broad daylight with two young children, age 5 and 10, caught in the middle of it all. this according to nypd and others who were there. police say the children did not know the gunman or the victim. a manhunt now underway for the shooter. the california couple charged in the freeway shooting death of a 6-year-old boy last month pleading not guilty. marcus reeves is charged with

murder and shooting at an occupied vehicle. win lee faces charges of accessory. the victim was shot as he sat in a booster sheet in the back of his mother's car while she drove him to kindergarten. and a 19-year-old is accused of firing at people across the phoenix area in a string of drive-by shootings, killing one person and wounded a dozen more on thursday. eric. eric: well, arthel, a bipartisan infrastructure package is gaining steam on capitol hill, 21 republican and democratic senators now are working on the roughly $1 trillion compromise. the plan does call to raise the federal gasoline tax at the rate of inflation to help pay for it. the white house says that goes against president biden's promise not to tax americans earning less than $400,000 so what do they do about it? what's going to happen?

rich edson live in wilmington, delaware where the president is spending the weekend. >> reporter: good afternoon. that's the problem in d.c. negotiations on this package and whatever else they're talking about when it comes to paying for things. the white house is against raising the gas tax and that's an issue that they've got in this, trying to come up with the money to fund this. the president will be negotiating with democrats and republicans next week. that's according to the white house, to try to advance this $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure proposal but how to pay for it is the issue. you've got democrats who are calling to generally raise taxes on those earning more than $400,000 a year. but you've got republicans who want to use unused covid funding, that's something that democrats are against as this becomes an issue on how to pay for it. >> elections have consequences. and right now, they do have enough votes if everybody votes for a tax increase and if they vote, if they decide that they want to go big on it, they've got 50 votes.

>> reporter: there are two discussions here, the $1 trillion bipartisan negotiations that are ongoing. democrats are also working on a separate bill, one that could be as much as $6 trillion, that would tackle other priorities and also involve p only democrats. so the 50 democratic senators getting on-board in the senate and the overwhelming number of democrats in the house in order to pass that. >> discussions about infrastructure are moving forward along two tracks. one is bipartisan. the second deals with components of the american jobs and families plan which we will consider even if it lacks bipartisan support. >> reporter: there are also concerns that spending this much money may have an issue with inflation. this is a monmoth university poll, asking how concerned are you that president biden's spending plans could lead to

inflation. 24% say somewhat concerned. 17% not too concerned. not at all concerned at 11%. 1% say they don't know. the white house says when it comes to the inflation we've seen in the economy, they believe it's transitory, in other words, it's only a temporary bump from the world economy getting back together after this he covid shutdowns are now expiring. eric, back to you. eric: thanks, rich. arthel: eric, thank you. with more on this, we've got steve hayes, editor and ceo of a digital media company and fox news contributor. let's start with infrastructure. based on where deal points and negotiations stand now, in what direction is this headed? your guess is as good as mine, arthel. i think rich made the key point in his presentation there. there are these two tracks that chuck schumer talked boy. on the one hand you've got bipartisan negotiations on infrastructure, some republicans

going along and trying to shape the package. on the other hand, you've got a much broader and much costlier set of reconciliations rules or packages that the democrat% putting together, preparing to essentially go on a partisan basis. i think the fact that the democrats are using this partisan c udgole to say we're going to do this regardless, makes it more difficult for the white house and those negotiating with republicans to go along with the package. there's been back and forth over the gas tax, over ways to pay for this. republicans will want to see the democrats have some ways of compromising to pay for this. otherwise you're talking about a massive, massive tax hike, i mean, spending hike without any real way of paying for it. arthel: some of it sounds like chicken or egg, which came first. it's all kind of confusing. if we drill down on the democrats' economic package, what are the best items in it?

what points are deal killers? and if in the end it does require reconciliation, is that possible without senator manchin? >> it's a good question. it's not just senator manchin. you had senator john tester, senator mark warner raise concerns about the cost, the price tag of the bigger plan. so it's not just senator manchin, but as with everything in this current senate, senator manchin is the hinge point in many respects. i think you have republicans who -- some republicans who think we need to have an infrastructure package. there are actual infrastructure needs and even republicans who share my views about the skepticism of the size of the government generally and the cost of government spending, will say yeah, there are things that the government needs to do with respect to infrastructure. i think the real challenge becomes when you look at the ways the democrats expanded the definitions of infrastructure to include anything that democrats want, proo dress i'ves have -- progressives have wanted for a long time and you start adding that up and that's where you go

from a compromise package of $1 trillion to a democrat only package of $6 trillion. $5 trillion is a big difference. it's a big difference. you're not going to get republicans to go along with that. arthel: to that point, what is the republican comprehensive plan to fix highways, bridges, some of them are on the verge of collapsing and at the same time to boost or bolster the economy for the benefit of the middle class, the working class, low income families and the question becomes in terms of timing, how quickly does congress need to act and can the republican agenda get accomplished within the next three years. >> yeah, i mean, republicans are not going to drive this debate. they don't have the power. they're not going to drive this debate. what they're going to try to do, talking to republicans in the senate and folks involved in negotiations, republicans are going to try to basically shape it to the extent they can shape it and take a victory where they can take a victory and i think mostly that means pairing down the -- paring down the size of the overall package, knowing

lurking behind it is the broader democrat only reconciliation possibility which i think republicans will oppose broadly. in terms of the republican package, i mean, they made very clear they would like to repurpose some covid funds that have been unspent or look to be going unspent. i think they prefer to have user fees or gas taxes that we talked about as a way to pay for this kind of spending package and they're not going to go along with the kinds of proposals from democrats that you have undoing the trump tax cuts which republicans believe have been successful and would be unwise to undo. arthel: will anything get done, resolved real soon? >> i'm not sure soon. something will get resolved. something is going to pass. i think there's reason to believe something on a pie partisan basis -- bipartisan basis will pass. i can't imagine it will be $6 trillion. i think they'll go for something smaller that senator manchin and

others can go along with. arthel: steve hayes, thanks for joining us. eric. eric: arthel, iran has a new president but the way the election was won and the low voter turnout there has some inside as well as outside iran questioning the results. disturbing new details on the new leader of the islamic republic. i became a sofi member because i needed to consolidate my credit card debt. i needed just one simple way to pay it all off. it was an easy decision to apply with sofi loans, just based on the interest rate and how much i would be saving. there was only one that stood out and one that actually made sense and that was sofi personal loans. it felt so freeing. i felt like i was finally out of this neverending trap of interest and payments and debt. ♪♪

eric: hong kong's pro democracy newspaper is not backing down. the apple daily reportedly increasing its production from 80,000 to 500,000 copies, that after hundreds of police officers raided the newspaper's office. they arrested top executives, accused of violating beijing's national security law that bans collusion with a foreign country or elements that china says endangers national security. hundreds of pro democracy protesters have been arrested under that law since last june. arthel. arthel: eric, well, iran's top

the proteges of the ayatollah. he's the first president of the republic since 1979 to be sanctioned by the u.s. before taking office, for his involvement in a series of mass execution back in '88. the disqualification of raisi's competitors before the vote led a lot of people in iran, including some former presidents, to call on voters to boycott this election, something really unheard of in iran. and it appears at least some of the voters did just that. you were just saying under half of iran's 59 million voters participated in the election, that's an all-time low turnout for a presidential election in iran and more importantly, one out of seven who did cast their ballots either did so accidentally or perhaps more likely intentionally voided them to signal that they didn't want any of the candidates. israel's foreign minister has come out with a statement saying

iran's new president, known as the butcher of tehran, is an extremist responsible for the deaths of thousands of iranians. he is committed, i quote, to the regime's nuclear ambitions and to its campaign of global terror. one thing, this election certainly could make it difficult for the biden administration to get tehran, now enriching uranium at the highest levels ever, still short of weapons grade levels, back to the table and to the deal that saw iranian's abandon enrichment in favor of sanctions relief many there's an argument that this could be a golden time to get a deal, that in fact the spreem leader in -- supreme leader in iran wants a deal and the next six weeks before the new president takes office are the opportune moment to get that deal accomplish. we learned over the last hour that those negotiations between the iranians on the one side and the united states on the other with european intermediaries between them, those negotiations

are set to resume tomorrow. arthel: verification will be key. brian chilcote live in london. thanks, brian. eric. eric: arthel, remembering otto warmbier. today marks four years since the death of the 22-year-old college student who was brutally tortured and killed by the north korean regime. um next, how lawmakers in his home state of ohio and new york city are honoring him with a message that kim jong un won't like. more protection, more sun, more joy. neutrogena® beach defense® the suncare brand used most by dermatologists and their families, neutrogena® for people with skin.

eric: otto warmbier died four years ago today and now there is growing support to honor him as a human rights symbol, a reminder to the world of the brutality of kim jong un's regime. the 22-year-old college student from ohio was on an educational tour of north korea when he was falsely arrested, imprisoned and tortured, sent home severely brain damaged and unable to hear or see. he succumbed to his injuries at a cincinnati hospital. three former u.s. ambassador toss to the u.s. and a slew of top local and national elected officials want to honor otto by naming the street in front of the north korean noise the

united states in manhattan after otto, called otto warmbier way. the street renaming as the support of many including new york city mayor de blasio. >> the fact that an american lost his life there, it's something we need to remember, we need to honor his family and we need to speak out against the oppression that the north korean people go through every single day. so i think we have a good history in this city of standing up to tyrants and we should keep doing it. eric: with us now, gordon chang, senior fellow at the gate stone institute. otto warmbier way what message would that send to the north korean diplomats when they show up for work every morning. >> many are deeply grateful to fox and you for keeping this issue alive. you've given a voice to people who don't have one. this is -- on the question you asked, this is really important,

because you've got to remember that people in democrats don't understand the symbolism because our government's inherently legitimate. but the kim jong un regime is deeply insecure and so a street naming like this and the legislation from the ohio senators, it's critical threats to them and clearly what they're doing right now is they're trying to prevent this. so i think it's really important that we continue this and really thank you for what you've done of on this throughout the years. eric: well, thank you, gordon. look at the support that it's had. it's amazing. on both sides of the aisle, it's bipartisan. how could you not want this? take a look for example, john kerry, mike pompeo, former u.n. ambassador, bill richardson, senator tim kaine and chris van holland, manhattan bureau president, gail brewer, two korean american members of congress as well as others. here's what john kerry said

about this this, at the u.n. the north korea should see the name of the young man that should still be alive today. the world should know we remember and care, so no one forgets the tragedy of otto warmbier. mike pompeo said it would be fitting reminder to the north koreans and the world that america will never suffer brutal dictators without responding, that we value life and we won't rest before those responsible for heinous actions like theirs have been confronted. is this a human rights issue and what would that mean if this does indeed go through? >> well, it certainly is a human rights issue because north korea is the most totalitarian state on earth, always at the bottom of all the rankings and clearly the regime doesn't like this. i think it's important because

it's building momentum and the one thing, air, is you were keeping -- eric, is you were keeping this issue alive when there wasn't all this support for this. the bill to rename the street was languishing at the city council. it's great that everybody's got on board. and this shows there's moment mum to do -- momentum to do something about this. all the problems that north korea poses to the world are at the core of the regime and that's a human rights issue. eric: it still is languishing at the moment because the city council took no action on the bill wham would you say to the city council of new york about that? >> how can they not rename this, especially given all the support that we have had from people who have dealt with north korea. as you point out, bill richardson, john kerry, mike pompeo. this is really important because there's a consensus now and we can actually do something about human rights so the symbolism here is critically important. we've just got to continue forward. if we don't go forward, north korea will be just laughing at

us. eric: and certainly that would be a tragedy and a shame and you did mention also senator support from kuhns and others have a bill to del with misinformation. 20 seconds left. your sense of the message of ott otto warmbier four years to the day after he died. >> we remember otto warmbier's death and we can never forget the brutality that they showed to warmbier. this is something we've got to remember. eric: an american was killed. we must remember. gordon chang, as always, gordon, thank you. arthel: we'll be back in one hour. please join us then. liberty mu, so you only pay for what you need. hot dog or... chicken?
