their boycott. hi, welcome to fox news live, i am eric shawn. arthel: hello, everyone. fox news told west virginia senator joe manchin who also met with the texas delegation would not be exposed during their sitdown earlier this week. meantime, the white house is under fire for it admitted involvement with social media company's to flag miss information on covert vaccines. peter doocy asked jan psaki about that yesterday. >> for how long has the administration been on people's facebook profiles looking for vaccines miss information? >> i was i loaded and inaccurate question. our biggest concern here and i frankly should be your biggest concern is the number of people dying around the country because they are getting miss information leading them to not take the vaccine. >> a big concern for a lot of people on facebook is now this is "big brother" watching you.

>> they are more concerned about that and people dying across the country because of a pandemic or misinformation traveling on social media platforms. unlikely if you have the data to back that up, i'm happy to discuss it. arthel: live at the white house, david. >> following both of those stories first of all on the texas delegation, we've reached out to the vice president office because as you saw in the video at the top of the broadcast, she met with majority of that texas delegation, one of the representatives said on tv that three of them tested positive, all delegations were vaccinated, they were vaccinated the delegation dominated headlines for days when they came up earlier this week, this is they are on a plane without mask it's noticeable notable i should set because they didn't wear a mask on a plane, it's a nonnegotiable cdc guideline in an f a a

mandate on a trip from austin to washington d.c. early last week. the group met with multiple heavy hitters in the democratic party in addition to the vice president kamala harris, they met with chuck schumer. harris said she would travel to meet with the group in washington d.c. our to say it did not meet with president biden, the white house said they did not meet or even exchange a phone call so clearly he was not exposed to this specific group. he's at camp david and back to the entire social media story between the white house and facebook, white house officials close to the president are doubling and tripling down about his comments regarding facebook and covert miss information. >> what message do platforms like facebook? >> they are killing people. the only pandemic we have is

among the unvaccinated into they are killing people. >> the delta variant is a big problem not just in the white house but for the country as a whole. two weeks after the president declared independence from the virus july 4, numbers are going in the wrong direction. latest numbers from the cdc showed up 48.4% of the entire population fully up next, that's one -- 150 million, over and over that. officials say there are around 12 people being called misinformation doesn't spreading misinformation about the covert vaccine on my. facebook is fighting back against it reputation in a statement to fox news thanks will not be distracted by accusations which are supported by the facts. more than 2 billion people have authoritative information about covert and vaccines on facebook which is more than any other place on the internet, more than 3.3 million americans have also used our vaccine finder tool to

find out where and how to get a vaccine, facts show a's book is helping save lives. >> they have monopoly companies acting in concert with the government to take you can say this, you can't say that, we are going to decide, that's antithetical to the first amendment of the u.s. and free and open debate. >> the white house including the president said it not about free speech or free and open debate or personal reduce, it's about a life and death situation. there's a few hundred people outside the white house, protesting about the situation in cuba between social media, texas democrat testing positive for covert and what's going on right now with cuban-americans protesting for the president to do something about cuba, certainly a lot on president biden and vice president kamala harris' plate. arthel: i was going to ask you about the noise, i'm glad you told me and i'm glad the people are bringing attention to the

situation there in cuba and by the way, no such thing as a boring that we can't. thank you very much, live at the white house. eric. eric: larger numbers of migrants flowing into the southern border, the surge of those showing up at our doors, we are told there's no signs of slowing. this is live in texas where a lot of migrants are encountered, the trees there, just happened to walk into other countries. many families are ready to surrender and give themselves up from the orderly process for some as republican leaders calling out the biden administration's handling of the crisis. the federal judge ruling that doctor, divert action for child and arrivals program is illegal. president biden and administration now under renewed pressure to address the challenges. federal officials say roughly 6000 migrants stream into our country every single day, new

data from customs and border protection site nearly 190,000 migrant encounters at the southern border last month alone. the fiscal year already talked one feeling. greg abbott had a breathing moments ago florida governor rhonda santos. >> and texas along in fiscal year already, we have set a new all-time record for the number of people apprehended coming across for just the scale of this in terms of stress on public resources, school and medical and all these things, this will greatly impact immunities. eric: governors in la jolla texas, more from what they said a moment ago. jonathan as at the border with the latest on what is going on. reporter: florida's interest in texas is both political and tropical. as you mentioned both states have republican governors and

also a growing realization that what happened here can affect things over there. not just a problem for texas water counts. right now, live at a group of migrant families and children voluntarily turning themselves in the border but while patrol agents are busy processing them, it's likely smaller groups of criminals will try to sneak in undetected and other nearby locations and the drugs and illegal activity they bring spreads out across the country. this week a group of florida sheriffs and police chiefs who were at illegal border crossings on the rio grande, migrants tell us they are paying smugglers upwards of 12,000 dollars to bring a family of three into the u.s. >> they are just turning people loose while we are wasting time, back us up and down the river making a mockery of the system. reporter: returning migrants to their home countries is more difficult this particular search even though air entering the

u.s. from mexico, many of the migrants are citizens of other countries in central america, the caribbean and even eastern europe. >> i don't see and insight, i think this fiscal year will end up pretty darn close to record number of apprehensions of the year 2000 which was about 1.6 million. reporter: eric, another concern, we are in the middle of summer, it's hot outside, the border crossing is all the more treacherous if you're going on foot in the hot sun or even worse, if you're hiding out in a secret compartment in the back of a truck, usually with no air conditioning. eric: they are still coming despite that. a few moments ago we showed you florida governor ron desantis and greg abbott, among the officials addressing the crisis at the border. they did stuff this afternoon in a news conference laying out

what they think their plan should be dealing with this crisis. here is more from the conference earlier today. >> just the scale of this in terms of the stress on public resources, school, medical and all these other things, this will greatly impact communities throughout florida and i think throughout the country so we appreciate the folks that have been here. we think your success is really america's success, we need this to work. we'd like to see old parties the previous at ministration simply put back in because we know that would solve a lot of this but before we get there, the states will have to step up, they have enough internal just ceased in june to kill hundreds of millions of people, almost 70% of our country based on just june, the fentanyl coming in so this is a really big problem. we need all the manpower we can get to repel the incredible number, record-breaking numbers

of people coming across the border. i do want to add in addition to florida, text is so proud to have support from other states including nebraska, iowa, arkansas, and of course texas is a partner in this with our fellow border state, arizona so this is a national based issue governor desantis said why this is such a national issue, what happens at the border may be happening here today but it will be happening in other states tomorrow or next week or next month it could be challenges such as human traffickers smugglers smuggling sometimes young children across the border, trapping them into state in the northern part of the united states, it could be cartel drug smugglers smuggling drugs across the entire u.s. and the worst of them all is fentanyl as governor desantis

was talking about the numbers are staggering at first, understand this. fentanyl is about 50 -- 100 times stronger than morphine. 2 milligrams of functional is a lethal dose. there has been just by the department of public safety, unearthed doses of functional to kill every man, woman and child in the state of texas and florida, nebraska, iowa, south dakota, arkansas, ohio and arizona. it's a situation for all states need to be part of the process stepping up because the best place to interdict criminal activity not in florida or iowa, it's right here on the border. this is where the people are coming across where we can make the biggest impact by having the resources on the border right now. this is happening because of massive change in policy by the biden a ministration for the trump administration had in place remain in mexico policy

and other policies that work working and led to a dramatic decrease and the people coming across the border, those policies were abandoned the biden administration and in their place, the biden a ministration as opposed open border policies. eric: hearing about government abbott about the migrants arriving. reports say the white house will rollback pandemic restrictions at the border this month including the so-called title 42, that allows border agent to expel migrants without detaining them first or try to stop the spread of covert with concerns if that's rollback, it could lead to migrants arriving here with covert and they would not be sent back implemented by the trump administration based on a threat to public health. arthel: thank you, a federal judge in texas ruled that daca is illegal after a coalition of states led by texas due too and the obama era program protecting

immigrant brought here illegally as children. here is reaction from washington. reporter: the program has been controversial since inception for the truck. now the judge says it's illegal in the government can no longer accept applications from so-called dreamers. doctor created by president obama through executive order, the program allows some undocumented immigrants to be to protect it from deportation. texas among the states blocking the attorney general tweeted saint i think it's right to stop a president who just decided they didn't like federal law and came up with his own immigration law. we sued him for violating federal law in week one. president biden prompting to keep fighting for docket survivals and the president said the justice department will work to appeal and goes on to say esterase federal court ruling is deeply disappointing. the court's order does not affect current daca recipients, this decision relegates hundreds

of thousands of young immigrant to an uncertain future. the latest ruling is sending shockwaves on capitol hill lawmakers are urging for passage of comprehensive immigration reform. bob menendez is among those speaking up in size a painful reminder we need to stop relying on temporary immigration. president biden says he's going to renew his call on congress to act with urgency and while the ruling does block new allocations, the government is going to be allowed to keep processing renewals for now but some experts warn that could change based on future ruling. arthel: you very much. eric. eric: andrew cuomo questioned by investigators today by the attorney general's office. leticia james has been looking into the multiple sexual harassment accusations against the. her office subpoenaed his travel

records and collective tropes of other documents, e-mails and evidence on a range of areas. alex hogan is in the newsroom with the latest on this investigation. >> seven months since the first accuser came out with claims against governor andrew cuomo and since then, at least eight others shared their stories, most of them previously worked alongside the 63-year-old accusing him of groping from asking inappropriate questions, personal prescience, unsolicited advances or kissing without consent, sharing their stories with investigators. today in albany, an investigator hired by the state attorney general's office will question him about the interactions. there's no set timeline on how long the investigation will last but legal experts say this indicates that it nearing the end. >> i think it tells us we are in any eight or nine of the investigation. typically the defendant or the one exam at is the last one to

be examined, i would expect the report to be released in the relative you future and then the question becomes, what happens next? as he resign, get impeached or quit who knows? corporate he's repeatedly denied the accusations, only apologizing if he made anyone uncomfortable. it's one of the multiple probes against him from others include concealing public deaths in nursing homes and misusing resources while his multibillion-dollar book during the pandemic. despite criticism from a three term governor is gearing up for his campaign for the fourth term. according to financial documents, released this week, he raised $2.3 million in the last six months, that's down from $4 million he raised in the last six months of 2020. as far as the deposition today, one of the senior agent responded think the governor will not comment yet. eric: $5 million from that book.

thanks. our south speech of los angeles county is once again imposing an indoor mask mandate, this time regardless of vaccination status, the move comes as the county's public health department is reporting new covet cases have risen seven times since reopening june 15. reporter: we are just hours from the mask mandate going into effect, there's been more than 1000 covet cases a day for the past seven days and 2000 yesterday but fatalities are still down dramatically compared to the peak of the pandemic. global health experts say 99% of covet cases, deaths and hospitalizations at county hospitals are among undocumented people mask mandate is a better option than increased restrictions. >> everything is on the table if

things continue to get worse which is why we want to take action now even we are at this level of this transmission, the next level is high transmission ended not a place we want to be. reporter: he spoke with a number of residents from west los angeles today, they all said they were fine with the mask mandate, they just hope it prevents another full out lockdown. >> we do not want to be confined to just eating outside or whatever. we want to be able to get back to our life as soon as possible so we have to do what we need to make that possible. >> i feel cases are spiking, is probably at her to do something for nothing but since people are hospitalized are unvaccinated, they should push mark unvaccinated people to get the vaccine. >> critics question whether the mask mandate is backed by science since it does not align

with the cdc guidelines vaccinated people do not need to wear a mask, it's one reason that sheriff says his department will be enforcing the mask mandate, business owners worry about the effect it will have on getting employees back at work constantly changing guidelines. arthel: it sounds like more confusion ahead. live in los angeles, thank you. more protests in the u.s. as cuban-americans show solidarity protesters rising up against the communist government there. we are going to look at the biden administration tribute to bring democracy back to cuba coming up next. ♪♪

americans in the west rally against communist government to support activists there who are now under internet blackout. cuban officials reportedly are resorting to violence to crack down on. >> protests. charles watson has reaction from miami. >> there is strong support for the people of cuba here in miami. throughout the day, we heard cars honking their horns and people driving around with cuban flags. all of it in support of freedom for the people of cuba they are taking that message right to the

present doorstep. dozens of cuban-americans from miami are in washington d.c. 20 groups from all over the country from the cuban embassy right up to the white house to demand the biden administration take action to help liberate the people of cuba from the island communist regime. one man named camilla set he escaped from cuba on a raft ten years ago and said he doesn't think change is going to come to the island unless the u.s. government forces it. >> intervention, biden, now instruct time. i would take the same, you, mr. trump, intervention. reporter: slowly improving after an islandwide blackout, videos have hit cuban police forces, sometimes cracking down on protests. the white house says it's looking into options to provide cubans with reliable internet

access as for u.s. military intervention from of the white house hasn't gotten there yet but cuban -- he says he doesn't think it's necessary right now to make the regimes and eastern germany czechoslovakia either but eventually enough people went enough people did go to the street and demand change, they got it. i think the same thing has to happen in cuba. reporter: the cuban government has made concessions, they've made it easier for folks to get imports of much needed food and medicine to the people of the country tax-free to figure but cuban-americans say that's not enough, they plan to take to the streets again today, calling for the freedom of the cuban people. arthel: charles, thank you very much. more now, eric. eric: cuba 90 miles away but level engagement under president

obama, longtime diplomat president of the global situation. george -- president biden considering intervention, or that be, internet access, what would you suggest the administration to? >> i think internet is certainly a start but there is a lot we can do to put pressure both on the cuban regime as well as to show support for the cuban people when i was at the white house and we were looking at some of these counter crisis strategies, there's a lot of things that you can do ranging from public diplomacy tools to get information into the hands of people all the way through to putting pressure on the leaders in the government and personal rights as well as politically. >> what you think would make them regime fall? we seen that happen in these regimes and eastern europe, but finally can break the back of the communist regime there that help the island and its people

for so many decades? >> if you go back to the cold war, ultimately i think it was culture that brought down the berlin wall. it's this idea of hope and inspiration and fast for i think the biden administration needs to put a lot of resources to embolden the people of cuba to continue this fight and put the cuban regime on its feet and realize they are out of time. eric: why can americans do to embolden the protesters and not just sit back on our hands? >> i'm a little disappointed because the initial response from the biden administration was delayed somewhat detached and i fear that they are not acting as robustly as they need to. they've talked about policy process but democracy demands the decision now that i think the biden administration needs to move quickly, not in a matter

of weeks or months but a matter of days. eric: there was discussion of military intervention, that will presumably be off the table. realistically, what would you like to see, what immediate steps over the next week can be taken to help these people topple the government from the front and for all? >> i'll give an example, if we took chip along with our allies filled with vaccines and other medical supplies and challenge the cuban regime to turn it away, those are the kinds of pressure points i think the administration can advance on at the same time during the obama administration he had his famous redline in syria, i think we need green lines to indicate that there are steps they must take, not just those they need to avoid. eric: is like reverse embargo. we will seek if this rolls out.

always good to see you. thanks so much. our fellow. arthel: the sentencing for the man convicted of killing molly into disarray after new evidence suggests someone else may have murdered her. we will have details on that.

we have two people that went missing in incredibly small towns and all we are asking is that he be given a fair shot the mark there's nothing in the role, nothing in the case law that compels the state to chase its tail because they are asking us to do it speech of the prosecution in the molly to murder case going out of, as a man convicted of killing molly has his sentencing delay thursday after his defense named other potential suspects and said to witnesses now implicate

someone else in the murder. the potential suspects deny it, one thing i wasn't involved in anything, i have alibis and everything, i am just waiting for someone to come talk to me. the other one thing i have no clue why my name even got brought up. attorney and fox news legal analyst, joining me now. we are going to talk about where this goes, first of all, judge joel denied the defense motion to compel more evidence after these people claim to be new witnesses move forward. why was the judge denied the motion and what does it mean for prosecution or defense? >> great to be on with you always. another adventure in this case, different couldn't be more dramatic as to when christian rivera took the stand and said it wasn't me who killed her, so now after the conviction for the

jurors did not take a long time to convict him, now there's another twist from we have concession with an inmate is pointing fingers to other suspects, they are the actual killer, maybe the they are the ones so at this time, it's great that you put the two battling sides, the prosecutors throw up their hands and say we have concrete evidence, and conviction. it is not credible that they are finally being identified when you're talking about concession by its very nature are not reliable that's probably why the judge turned around and said i'm going to deny this expedition because those are the words used by the prosecutor that really there is no use in allowing this to go forward because it is at the end of the day of fishing expedition. we have an eviction, they did not believe christian was there

when he took the stand and said he wasn't the killer, we're done, we have to move on. arthel: the hearing for the motion for a new trial to be held will be held july 27, 10 days from now. why the request for a new trial in which side stands to benefit? >> catholic that the fence aside, they are looking at rivera looking at 20 years to life once the sentencing is imposed by the judge so it is a very substantial sentence that awaits him once it's done but it's going to be really difficult. you might have a better chance if you don't have the defendant the stand but in this case, he took to the stand so it's difficult when you have a defendant take stand my professed innocence, create a narrative that he was not the killer and it was these mast men and wasn't believed to the essence of what they are going

to seek in terms of reversing and getting a new trial is the fact that he wasn't given due process when he was. he was given due process to such the extent and even his lawyers are not sure, that's a very difficult decision but rivera took the stand professed innocence and swear to be difficult for him to overturn this. arthel: are there any broader implications beyond this? >> that's a great question, not necessarily, one of the things that's going to come in, they are looking to have someone who's an illegal immigrant who might have some issues stemming from the fact that he was here, but at the core of the case, it's a random act of violence, it's one of those horrible circumstances where here you are just living your day, molly was literally going out for a run,

it wasn't late at night, it was 8:00 p.m. and she was snatched from the street and stabbed to death or something so extraordinary and doesn't happen very often, many are oftentimes murder victim knows the victim, knows the murder but that's not the case here so there might be some background noise but frankly, what we are looking at is a random act of violence. arthel: it's a heartbreaking scene, these pictures of molly. we have to leave it there. thank you. coming up next -- >> thank you so much. arthel: always. remember the hundreds of victims of twa flight 300 killed when the aircraft exploded right after takeoff from new york city. memorial services today to mark 25 years the tragedy.

u.s. navy christening u.s. john lewis in honor of the late congressman and civil rights leader. it's the mavis replenishment boiler, ship that supplies others in the fleet. the honors of christening campaign model there. nancy pelosi delivered the address at the san diego their money. one year after congressman and civil rights icon, john lewis died of late stage pancreatic cancer at the age of 80. >> it's been 25 years since the deadly disaster flight 800. in this day and 96, the 25-year-old boeing 747 exploded in mid air off the coast of long island headed from new york airport to paris. all 230 people on board died. today family and friends of those lost gathered at the

memorial park in long island, new york. to pay for and honor the memory of their loved ones who are lost. she lost her fiancé that day, she found emotional support services and helped family members of the crash victims and the author of surviving sudden lost, stories of those who have lifted. heidi joins us now. his on the last of your fiancé, you are married now. bring us back to that evening when the plane took off 8:00 or so at about 20 minutes out of jfk, exploded off the coast of long island. >> that evening i remember going to the airport he called me before he boarded the flight and we exchange final i love zooms

and he said i'm going to call you when i get to paris than i remember hanging up the phone and within an hour later, my mother calls me and says please tell me he didn't go to paris tonight and i remember turning on the tv and seeing it on tv and in my heart i thought he strong and young and they are looking for survivors and i remember thinking you'll be on one of the rescue boats, somehow he will survive, there's no way he got on the flight and i remember calling the airlines and hoping he somehow got onto a different aircraft but around 2:00 a.m. i got confirmation that he was on board and at that time suddenly i learned quickly the separation was forever and it was really hard to absorb that and after that, we all

gathered at a hotel near the airport and i remember going there first thing the next morning to find out what happens and make sense out of things and i remember gathering of family, other families that and us in time when on, his times still i thought and found. i remember going back to new york city and met with the mayor at the time and said, is there a support group for people who have lost loved ones in plane crashes? they said no, we don't have one but we certainly need one right after that i was referred to a woman who lost her fiancé on flight 103 that happened eight years earlier. when i met her sat with her, i knew at that moment that was the care i needed she was a role model for me she got to eight years of grief i had a chance because she did. i learned how important it was to have others help guide you

through the process who had a similar lost so i met with the other families and i asked them if they would mentor the families because i knew how important that perspective was to have somebody who had been there before and could help them navigate their grief so i set up aircraft emotional support services to ensure no one had to go through this alone and now we have 250 volunteer brief brief mentors around the world who have all lost their loved ones and provide long-term care to those who have lost loved ones more recently and guide them through the process. eric: was such a shock that a 747 would explode suddenly off the coast of long island and it was chaos, i remember chaos that might on the other families, your standing behind a wonderful

memorial with a huge wave and flax representing the nations of the victims. it was chaos and there wasn't appropriate support for you guys. >> there wasn't, a very difficult process and with all air disasters, the hardest thing is how long it takes for information to come forward and make sense of what happened and so many people who call for help need the same thing and often don't have remains for any information about what happened and sometimes they don't even find so it is a difficult process. eric: you're going through that they think of missile hit the plane and there's an investigation, what was it like for you and do you agree with the conclusion that it was likely stark from the fumes?

>> none of us know the exact cause so for me what is is getting through her grief and surviving it and all the people here today and the incredible memorial built to honor a loved one is what keeps going, having the opportunity to conduct those people whose lives were changed in an instant with me 25 years ago and the fact that we get together here and people put the effort into to build this incredible memorial is life-changing for me knowing that is a place to go and share the stories of survival and who the incredible people have become and have gone through such tragedy. eric: thank you and we thank the families and those out there, a wonderful emotional memorial and i urge our viewers a beautiful beach a few miles from the crash site, a very important day and

remember all those who were lost. thank you for the emotional support services, for something none of us hope will strike are my friends and families but sadly it does happen sometimes. heidi, thank you. week will be right back.
