congresswoman jackie spears started her career working for a lawmaker on a fact-finding mission to jones told, she knows about the weight of that word, cult. >> i hate trump, hannity, fox rewind, nobody watches the show or read his books. laura ingraham, how are you? laura: grape is why we giving him publicity? no one watches his show except when they see him on your show. you are helping. >> publicity. he is like a pathetic -- hit trump, hit fox news, you and me and his rewind. maybe he doesn't know trump

isn't in office. laura: is he mister potato head or humpty dumpty? as he both? okay. laura: i am getting it all confused. i am laura ingraham. illegals aren't just crossing the border at record numbers, they are being sent all over the united states often governors not knowing anything about it. we have a report from mccowan, texas where many of these odysseys begin. hunter biden offers a justification for his art, and another olympian uses the podium to protest. raymond arroyo has that, a bridge to nowhere is the focus of the angle. roads and bridges broadband expansion, fixing potholes, fixing train tracks, and

internet access for everybody sounds reasonable. trump wanted to do infrastructure and pelosi impeachment, never got it done. i will tell you what counts as infrastructure. the republicans agreed to this without having read a draft of the bill. it was put together mostly by the majority party's committee staff. in june a bipartisan group of senators led by mitt romney fire was a good idea to engage with president biden on an infrastructure bill that would cost hundreds of billions of deal, the deal included a pledge that it would be a stand alone. it wouldn't be linked with this $3.5 trillion spendarama they were using to pass through reconciliation meaning they only need a simple majority. president biden couldn't remember what he said to him

about the negotiation so he ended up tipping the democrats hands. >> these measures to come to you. do you see any strength in this process? how do you anticipate what you will do? >> president biden: it didn't come with my assignment. laura: this made republicans look like charlie brown with pelosi as lucy grinning holding the football. >> you support nancy pelosi's stated plan until the senate, do you support that? >> president biden: the bipartisan bill was understood as the second part of it. not just for getting about what i proposed. laura: everyone knew there would be another bill linked to this. a few days later president biden

claimed he misspoke that we all know what he said about the bills being one bill is the truth. if you vote for the infrastructure plan which needs a filibuster proof majority you are paving the way for this massive budget bill, multi-trillion dollar extravaganza creating new entitlement spending and transforming much of american society top to bottom and the bill as i said will only need to pass by simple majority. but the republicans had once again, looks like they have been played. pelosi doesn't mess around. >> let me be clear on this. we will not take up a bill in the house until the senate passes the bipartisan bill and reconciliation bill. there is not going to be an

infrastructure bill unless we have the reconciliation bill passed by the united states senate. laura: she plays hardball. republicans are waiting for a wiffleball game to start. she's not taking up infrastructure until they get there spending package through a simple majority vote. simply put by agreeing to this order of things the romney group gave up all of their leverage. democrats are able to bypass them entirely on their way to a simple majority vote on a $3.5 trillion package no one sees. some of what we do know that will be included in the second bill, universal pre-k, free meals for all students, family medical leave, pathway to citizenship for daca recipients, greener farming and expansion of medicare and that is just the

beginning and months after the romney group met with biden the democrats finally release their infrastructure bill $110 billion roads, bridges, major projects, $66 billion for railways, $66 billion for broadband but that is not all. there were more that most senators won't have time to read, 2700 pages including funds for new state imposed carbon reduction requirements, $1 million for the appalachian regional commission cochaired by joe manchin's wife come millions for wildlife crossing structures, refers to women as socially disadvantaged individuals and in one part of the bill stipulates that gender identity will be a protected class under federal law. this is how it always goes, one party has been given all the leverage. they get cocky and they go too far but in this case who is going to stop them?

mcdonnell and on a giddy note to democrats today in part saying president biden continues to propose and deliver plans the american people across party lines agree are good for the country. doing exactly what he said he would do when he ran for the job acting not as president of red or blue state but president of the united states. and unprecedented crisis of biden making at the white house amid the new pessimism and confusion about his handling of the covid delta berry and in the border breaking down. 's approval numbers last week at a low of 50% but now courtesy of the romney group republicans have given biden bragging rights. they have given him a lifeline. he will only be able to claim a huge legislative victory in the glide path to this gargantuan

$3.5 trillion reconciliation bill, legislation that could pass in a single gop vote and transform huge sectors of american society, the democrats justified the cost of the infrastructure bill by claiming it was fully paid for. here is the wall street journal's analysis that just came out tonight. west virginia democrat joe manchin and his republican friends stressing their deal is fully paid for but read their lips, no new deficit spending, read their bill, it relies on a great degree on savings and revenue already baked into the treasury. and that is unlikely to happen. given that we already loaded an unconscionable burden of debt on our kids and grandkids and given how fast our economy began to recover from the pandemic, a smart half would be for the

romney group to reassess the support for this infrastructure deal, including mitch mcconnell. go to the voters, explain how democrats changed the rules begin and head into the midterms with a clear message that america just needs to open up for business fully without burdensome mandates, no more accounting gimmicks and no more legislative games, otherwise we may be rebuilding some bridges but the country is going nowhere good and that is the angle. joining me now is centered a bill cassidy, one of the republicans has been out in front in pushing this deal, appreciate you joining me, you know my view on this but i did to give you a chance to defend this bill is good for america but first of you had a chance to read the 2700 plus pages of text that comprise this bill. >> my staff and i have read it totally, and defending it, why

wouldn't you want this is one of my colleagues at the $110 billion for broken down bridges to replace or make them better. also to make them safer. $65 billion to bring broadband in areas that do not have it, creating jobs along the way. $16 billion for army corps of engineers to address coastal restoration issues and other things that place americans at risk of losing their homes and businesses from floods. and did i mention it creates a heck of a lot of jobs. i disagree with your representation. it is paid for. it may not be paid for the way cbo scores it but it is paid for in a way of common sense. laura: we put those bullets up, pretty actually summing up what you just pointed out that is in the belinda does include all

that but it also spends billions on carbon capture projects, almost 1 billion for large-scale pilot projects, our viewers don't know about this and another $2.5 billion for demonstration projects. to some folks, the journal agree with this, sounds kind of like solyndra 2.oh. how does a republican, your fiscal conservative, how do you justify that? you speak of businesses, they are trying to export to markets like europe and they can't export to those markets unless they show that they are offsetting their carbon footprint. we are going to lose the european union and as a market. what this does is helps build carbon dioxide pipelines putting tight fit is to work and construction workers to work, they take that carbon off and use it for another product, to sequester many the ground. that makes our people more competitive in going into

markets like the eu that is absolutely fiscal conservatism because it puts americans to work and makes our businesses more competitive. laura: you think the rules of trade with europe under biden are fair rules? are you trusting the biden trade -- >> it is the european union that is putting these taxes in place, this positions us so that people don't lose those markets. >> dancing to europe's tune but that is up to biden. your colleagues likely has a different take on the bill that he went on the floor last night. >> some of the wealthiest and most well-connected americans will get rich off of legislation like this. this is an enormous amount of money, $1.2 trillion we will be spending here at a time when americans are feeling the pinch of inflation. we diminish the buying power of the dollar the reckless spending to bring praise and adulation from the media and from each other.

will: laura: the white house is giddy about this, reuters describes this is a glide path to the $3.5 trillion tonight and there right above this so your response. >> a couple things. it is the person in my state stuck in traffic who is fearful of their home flooding, who wants to have a better job, would like to make more money but doesn't make a lot of money now who really likes this village i talk to fox news watches, they love this bill. is that somebody who is wealthy? for the wealthy this means less. they have chauffeurs, private jets, they can flying here and there, it is the people who live in their own home at risk of flooding who like it. going to 3.5 trillion, pelosi wants to link the two, she doesn't think she has the votes for that 3 points for -- laura: i you on the show tonight saying nancy pelosi hasn't came down her vote you you think --

>> the renewal of the eviction for apartments, the votes on 3.5 -- he is hoping to follow these together to get a test. mike we is helping. republicans are trying to help nancy pelosi. laura: the tax increase the bipartisan infrastructure bill makes possible the $3.5 trillion behemoth that you will not support. >> i reject your characterization. this bill makes that $3.5 trillion less likely to pass and the squad knows it. bernie knows it. they are objecting to this bill because they think it is less likely they passed the

$3.5 trillion behemoth. >> why did you and mcconnell and company not ask or say we are happy to talk roads and bridges, let's have that completely separate, president biden did guarantee that so why not do what pelosi did and say show us your hand first, see the full text of your reconciliation bill, climate change, amnesty, tax increases, all the nightmares we delineated tonight. let them show their hand but it got flipped, you guys got played on this, you had to vote first or agree first, they haven't shown the text of the legislation, have they? >> you are agreeing with the squad and bernie. it is amazing, your agreeing with pelosi. we think the behemoth is less likely to pass and somehow you are trying -- if i may, we make the bill less likely to pass but if we think this bill and mary them together it is more likely to pass. that is what simple logic tells you. i'm not quite following. laura: you don't follow the wall

street journal "national review," yours truly, any number of people online writing about economics for 35 years. >> make it harder to pass the 3.5 trillion. them. makes an -- you realize america is going >> to forever. >> tell us everything -- i know -- $110 billion for roads and bridges. laura: you could have gotten that without giving away the store but you are talking loudly because you are trying to really -- >> to get that trillion. laura: when they pass the 3.5 trillion will you come back and say you're wrong?

>> somehow even though we have made -- i will come back on the show. if it still happens this is the blame. that logic is specious and you know it. laura: i don't think i ever heard senator cassidy talk so loudly to democrat. congressman jim banks of the republican study committee blasted this infrastructure bill. congressman, 17 gop senators, mitch mcconnell, romney, all these guys in the senate, very well respected in the business community. why was senator kennedy wrong? >> this bill is twice as long as the bible. there is the senator that read the bible cover to cover for the last 24 hours. we 19 senator cassidy said he read it with his staff. >> hard for me to believe anyone

read the bible cover to cover. they didn't read this book cover to cover. a lot of concerns in the memo we released to our members a little bit ago. my biggest concern is do the math with me, go back to january where they passed the covid relief bill and look today at what that has done to inflation. high street inflation since 1991. do the math with this, trillion dollar infrastructure deal, $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill nancy pelosi says the infrastructure bill will not pass her house without the reconciliation bill passing with it and imagine what that will do to inflation, you're paying more for a gallon of milk, every time you pump up your gas tank at the gas pump you will pay twice as much when these guys are done with it.

that is my biggest concern what is about to happen on these guys's watch. laura: the polling on this is interesting, the white house, i don't blame them for doing this, sending out memos, the people supported and voters to support an idea of bipartisan infrastructure and trump was pushing a version of this. a majority of voters are concerned about the size of the proposal, the infrastructure bill and the spending plan would run the country $4.7 trillion, 55% of voters say that too much, 64% oppose a federal tax hike to pay for this. i think we know the infrastructure bill doesn't include a tax increase, the follow-on bill which senator cassidy think is less likely to pass, i do not understand that does include a tax increase for people over 400,$000. what does this tell you with the

selective polling showcasing the white house? >> like donald trump told us, no deal is better than a bad deal and this is a bad deal, donald trump understood four years trying to pass an infrastructure bill, this is a bad deal in front of us and the tax increases and everything else that comes with the $110 billion will go towards roads and bridges, the way anyone in america would define as infrastructure. that will not be popular with the american people when they understand at the end of the day. >> should have gone to the voters, don't give biden the big win on this was massive groups of illegals pouring across our borders, not stopping there. we will take you to mcallen, texas on a report where many of these illegals are starting their journey, inside our country. stay there.

laura: i believe the secretary. why shouldn't americans think this is what they see as success flooding the country with illegals. check this video from mission, texas. 1000 migrants held by border patrol less than a mile from a popular crossing site. in mcallen, migrants being dropped off at a catholic charity before they are fanning out all over the country courtesy of the us taxpayer, bill. and has that story for us tonight. >> reporter: there are hundreds of migrants waiting as they've not been processed by border patrol. border patrol stations were running 600% overcapacity this past weekend and as a result mass releases of migrants pretty much nonstop. look at this remarkable video we

shot over the weekend sunday afternoon, a massive group of illegal immigrants held by border patrol, the largest group we have ever seen in all our trips to the border, we are talking at least 1000 people, border patrol apprehended just here in the rio grande valley alone over the weekend. sunday night in the hoyer we came across this large group of 200 migrants who turned themselves in to border patrol, many were visibly coughing, covid 19 cases surge among the migrant population in the rio grande valley, 900% increase just in the month of july. in downtown mcallen today we watched as border patrol released illegal immigrants from the custody in masks. border patrol dropped migrants at a local catholic charity every 30 minutes. we watched over and over is busloads of migrants were emptied out and released into

charity, several hundred until, staff members for catholic charities of the rio grande valley walked them across the street to mcallen central station where they were given bus tickets to travel elsewhere across the country. fox news has learned the second local hotel where the charity is housing, positive migrants this time where city officials say they really found out the charity has been quietly housing migrants at this texas in without being told by the charity. i reached out to the executive director of that catholic charity and asked how many cover the cost of migrants in local hotels in the rio grande valley. she told me, quote, i have been advised not to comment. >> but your kids have to mask up at schools, they care about covid. the biden administration quietly extended title 42. that was trump's idea, the trump policy that allowed the us to

quickly send illegals back to help prevent the spread of covid but it is not the same as what was in place under trump because while technically the same this administration is not going to enforce. you just heard from bill, facilities are so overrun that busloads of illegals are being sent all of the united states including many that are covid positive. when senior customs and border protection source told the washington examiner they are not tested at encounter, family units him into custody quickly. infected and don't have obvious symptoms they are sent out. joining us is dan patrick, a us official confirms the number of unaccompanied children picked up by border authorities will likely hit the all-time high in july. why is this not being covered? >> it is not being covered because of the marxist extreme media. fox is the only one telling the story. americans all over this country

are angry what is happening to the country. total invasion and people in every state are going to die through a combination of people coming in illegally with covid, with defensible drugs setting an all-time record and criminals crossing the border. imagine if you lived in michigan or la jolla or all those towns and at 2:00 in the morning at 3:00 in the morning you have people milling around your streets walking by your house, these people are everywhere. when they leave that bridge where do they go? they go to some city in america taking covid, they are criminals, delivering drugs. this administration is putting american lives not at risk, not likely to die, americans will die because of this policy. laura: he's getting the bipartisan infrastructure through. >> the senator you interviewed is the kind of senator that

makes republicans on the polls. disgraceful. >> we couldn't get anyone to come on the show to defend this so i give you credit. watch the media cover for this public health crisis the biden administration has created. watch. >> a lot of immigrants are in overcrowded shelters, detention centers and in order to move them out, with their families or to other detention centers they need to put this on buses. it is not new to the biden administration, immigrants been transported out of the state of texas. >> this is just, this happens all the time. this is always done this way. is she kidding me? >> they think the american public is stupid. i will tell you will happen in the rio grande valley that trump turned 7 counties for the first time ever from democrat to

republican, in the 22 election, governor abbott, myself, we are going to turn the whole valley republican, hispanics across this country who we say share our values, charter schools, lower taxes, economic opportunity, second amendment rights and border security, hispanics in this country are going to be the leaders to through the democrats out for good, the socialist policies are what many of them escaped from and remember if you took your family to cancun this weekend you couldn't get back in the country and this you tested negative but these people come in with no masks, no nothing. >> the secretary said the border is closed, physical close to you. and mayors break their own covid was. raymond arroyo has seen and unseen.
