brian: a record we didn't want to break. i think griff jenkins joins us from washington with more. as fox news poll shows immigration is joe biden's weakest category. it's in the 30's. hey, griff, tell me what's happening. >> that's right. brian, ainsley and steve. good morning. it's not necessarily a surprise that the president's lowest marks in this latest fox news poll come on the issue of immigration. take look here. you see 57% of americans disapprove of his handling of the border crisis while only 435% approve. this as the incoming border patrol chief raúl who officially takes the reins sunday confirming to our own jonathan hunt that the july numbers will be record breaking in the most difficult conditions he has ever seen. this is the most complicated in my experience. we have heard that the july figures for apprehensions north of 210,000. >> we have seen steady increases over the last four or five

months. >> over 210,000. >> yeah, i believe it will be over that. >> this as secretary mayorkas last visited in may heads to the rgv tweeting up. exciewngt our plan to rebuild a safe, orderly and humane immigration system. but he is being met by harsh criticism. president biden calling for their impeachment over mishandling the border crisis showing this new video of overcrowded conditions inside a texas holding facility unclear if mayorkas will visit this specific one and it comes as mayorkas plans by the way to meet with local officials later today in brownsville where laredo's mayor says they will ask the secretary for a moratorium on migrant releases due to the covid mike among released migrants. brian: griff, a lot of these guys and women are on speed dial at the border. do they -- where do they stand in terms of quitting or taking

actions into their own hands? because they know how to get control of that border and they're not being allowed to. at what point do they start sounding off whether it's through whistleblower situations or they just put down the badge? >> well, that is a great question. and i will confess i have communicated directly with a lot of these chiefs. some of them retiring like austin just retired from del rio where i was in that river confronting that smuggler. they're at their whit's end. none of them want to quit or put down the badge. they know morale has never in their lifetime in their careers been this low. i will tell you a little number i'm watching aside from the july numbers just yesterday we see the in over a month of number unaccompanied children getting lower climbing above 16,000 for the first time yesterday. so conditions all across the board not getting better. and my hats off to the men and women who are staying in this

fight regardless of being short of manpower and the ability to do their job. brian: like they are running a nursery school. steve: covid is the problem -- griff, thank you very much. covid is the problem. the mayor of laredo who he just mentioned pete sands is going to speak to mayorkas later today. he said what's going on there right now is terrible and everybody all across the country should know that the situation is so dire regarding covid in laredo what they're doing is the city of laredo is hiring four buses a day. they are totaling 200 migrants and shipping them off to austin and houston. and none of the people are being tested for coronavirus. none of them. apparently when they arrive in houston and austin, they are giving ppe and masks but uncertain if anybody is actually being tested at the receiving end. otherwise they are just released in the area. the reason laredo is interested in it because their hospitals

are pretty much maxed out. and if there is a coronavirus problem, that is why the city of laredo is spending between 8 and $10,000 a day to get the migrants out of their town. ainsley: they come through the rio grande valley center. that's the epicenter of this issue. then they go to laredo, he says we can't handle it our hospitals can't handle. that's why he has filed a lawsuit and why he has declared a disaster. he is saying i'm going to pay the money to ship them to austin and to houston, because they have to share in this responsibility. and he says this is a compromise. because i can't take care of all of these. look at this. they are packed. in no masks. brian: remember there was one still picture, two or three still pictures and caused chaos 24 hour coverage about the trump administration's inhumane caring for illegal immigrants? tell me how humane and safe that is. meanwhile julio has been at the border with town hall. always appears in our station, too. he sees how -- what it's like

being a border patrol agent and how bad it is. >> it's really quite, you know, mind boggling to see the biden administration have the calhount will challenge at the border. it's not true. i have been down to the border multiple times this year. things have gotten worse, they're gas lighting the american public by trying to claim that things are being overblown or making progress because it's simply not true. i stand on the rio grande for hours watching it happen. the border is not closed. it's open and it's open for business. brian: he says he is getting video from border patrol agents who want the american public to see what's happening the good news is his approval ratings are below 40, in the 30s now because he has done such a horrendous job, meaning the president. ainsley: whoever shot that video the source of that video says we are way past capacity it's a nightmare. bathroom, eat, women need to breastfeed and the list goes on

this. is past the point of sustainability. this is lunacy. steve: mayorkas is going to be counsel there to see with his own two ice the last time he was there he said the strategy is working. brian: don't worry the vice president is in charge. going to take a while to kick in. steve: speaking of polls you her unfavorables is going up. brian: what a shock. i don't think she has done anything well. steve: anyways, we will talk about the fox polls going up and concern with inflation. plus, refund the police. chicago's democratic mayor now planning apparently to boost the budget. didn't say how much, after that officer was killed and the city struggles to clamp down on gun violence. ainsley: plus, the search is over for the next host of jeopardy. find out who is going to take over the iconic role made famous by that man right there alex trebek ♪ how can i resist ♪ ain't nothing but a good time ♪

there has been a lot of criticism of lori light fort hood foot. keep in mind it was last year during the defund police movement that she slashed law enforcement in chicago $58 million and cut 600 vacant positions, you know what? the heat is starting to get to her because yesterday she said you know what? we're going to have to spend more money on police did. not say how much. this is unsustainable mess they have got there. ainsley: she is getting the message. she went to the hospital to go visit the wounded officer. she was not welcomed there. will police officers turned their backs on her because she turned her back on them. listen so what she is saying refund the police. >> it's my expectation that the police department budget will increase. no question. we have to. we have to make sure that we're continuing to provide resources to recruit the next generation of police officers and in particular make sure that we're

doing that recruitment in a way that reflects the diversity of our city. brian: right. so she still wants to reimagine police. but they want to put more money into it just like the friend happened after george floyd was killed and officer jailed and convicted. there is a huge trend now. and i think it's going to start here of refunding, rerespecting law enforcement. and i think things had to hit rock bottom before they got better. maybe this is the beginning of it all getting better. ainsley: she wanted to slash the budget $80 million last year. now she is realizing what that looks like for her city. she is being slammed for not keeping that city safe and not doing something about crime. it. steve: well, regarding the killing of ella french, the officer, he monday morgan and his brother have been charged, they are is being held without bail. outrage. apparently the guy who bought the gun so-called straw buyer

jamiel dansy. they were in his car when stopped by police. prosecutors wanted him held in custody without bond the judge said we already worked this out he is going to go free for $4,500 is the the police superintendent said this is outrageous he would be on the street. he obviously was involved. he bought the gun. ainsley: and this gun was used. and the mother of those two boys charged she stormed into the hospital and she was arrested. steve: livestreaming. ainsley: she put it on facebook. my boys are not monsters. i don't believe a thing that the chicago police department says. she wrestled with police and broke into the hospital. and they say that she kicked her way into their room where one was being treated for a gunshot wound. brian: a lot of the time moms would feel really terrible their two kids combined to shoot and

nearly kill two officers officer, one officer. shows the sign of the times blaming the police, screaming at them and taping it so to make sure she has maximum publicity from it. it sounds like a heck -- she is not going to get mom of the year to say the least. the other thing is, with the passing of the officer, not only do they rush of the whole ceremony and the salute to her life and legacy, the person making the remarks called her ella fitzgerald. a lot of the cops go really? we told you the mayor not to come up and visit in the hospital. we told you it we have been disrespected. after a slain officer is killed they rush the whole process and screw up her name. ainsley: they didn't have the wag pipes which is what they normally do to honor an officer who is fallen. a mother in chicago lost her son exactly a year ago last july. and she said he was playing with a friend very close to their house and then someone notified her that he had been shot. she ran outside.

she said i got the call. he was lying out here and i immediately came out. and i watched everything, every moment. moment now i'm burying my son. is he all i had. steve: here she is last night on the 7:00 show, listen, talking about her son. >> my son was always the child that wanted to give back to his friends and wanted to be the helping one. and to live out his legacy, i started just being more involved with my community with helping the kids in the community, just have a better opportunity and a safety net to have a chance to grow up in the community that i'm from is devastating, you know, because we do have community leaders out there but we need more of a voice for our community. we don't have that. and that's why everybody trying to advocate for our community with giving a better opportunity for our community for our safety because we don't have.

days ago easement emotional speech. listen to. this within the last year i was told in one of my so-called equity at this training white christian able-bodied females currently have the power in our schools and that quote: this has to change. you shut the doors to the public as well as the emails sent by the superintendent last year reminding me a dissenting opinion is not allowed even to be spoken in my personal life. going so far as to sandy form to my colleagues and i encouraging us to fill it out. i quit your policies. i quit your training. and i quit being a cog in a machine that tells me to push highly politicized agendas on our most vulnerable constituents, the children. steve: and the conversation that night, that was tuesday night, was about this transsender policy. they said we're going to vote on it wednesday. they voted on it and now they have adopted it. this all got started famously when a gym teacher by the name of tanner cross said he would not follow it.

ainsley: for religious reasons. steve: sued the board saying it was against his religion. he has since been reinstated but the board is trying to appeal that to make sure that he is kicked off the team. brian: in virginia, the pay rate for teachers is not great. you have to love your job and be respected at it. and because of that. you see the resignation of one teacher. jeff morris thinks it's just the beginning, he is the school board member. >> our teachers, administrators and counselors are well-trained to identify issues and provide emotional support to students, but this board is losing teachers like laura morris. teachers that i want to teach my children. teachers that you should want to teach your children whether they're transgender, whether they are cisgenderred. whatever they may be. >> the final vote weighs 7-2. >> there were nine members there a total of 9 or that's how many

that's a pretty good sign. we're eating out a little bit less and flying less. that's having impact on prices. still rising got a problem but rising at slower pace. that's very important. ainsley: with gas prices going up, that's the biggest issue, right? every product we buy comes to us on a truck. brian: opec -- >> did you see that? president biden wants opec to pump more oil? why can't we pump it for heaven's sake? he has blown away our energy independence and now goes to opec goes to opec to fill the gap. can you believe this? that's exasperating in the extreme. steve: take a look at some of the impact from the inflation crisis that's going right now year over year. look at that, car and truck reynolds up 75%. gas up 45%. hotels up 25%, i'm rounding,

pork roast steaks and ribs up 15%. stuart, inflation is caused by two things. a lot of extra money in sirkdz and demand and after the pandemic people had pent up demand they want stuff in my opinion it's the wall of money that's hitting the economy you got all kinds of new imittle entitlement programs in place. $3 trillion in bank accounts because we have not been spending much during the pandemic and now we are delluccied with money from the government. hits the economy and raises prices. steve: wait until the next wall of money. >> the $3.5 trillion? i don't think that will happen. i hope it does not happen. it's a socialist measure. i'm a refugee from socialism. i know what it's all about. i don't want to see it come here and $3.5 trillion will give us a socialist economy, that's just

like europe, heaven forbid we go there. brian: wipes out ambition and hope. let's talk about what the next jerks thinks of something that used to be a layup. capitalism vs. socialism. nation did a series of polls, in terms capitalism, favorable 49%. socialism has a 59% favorability. that's with. ainsley: 44% capitalism is unfavorable, 31% say that socialism is unfavorable. >> turn it around. supposing you ask a question do you want higher unemployment? do you want less innovation? do you want a slow growth economy? the answer will be no, we don't. but that's what socialism will give you. ainsley: do you want $10 a month? do you want to rely on the government forever toilet paper and paper towels. you hear all these stories in venezuela and say yes to that. >> make the comparison america

going down the road to venezuela and cuba. i don't think it's as extreme. european road. vast museum doesn't innovate anything. it's full up. it's lazy. brian: three hour lunches. >> a vast museum. that's what europe is it they don't grow. why don't we ask that question. do you want america to be like europe? that's the way we are going. steve: we have not seen inflation likes this since jimmy carter's days and that is a headline that this white house does not want. brian: 20 year high. >> this is the 1970s all over again. ainsley: we are in trouble. >> i'm not leaving. sorry, i'm not leaving. brian: stuart, you have to make the argument if the republicans want to get in power they have to make that argument. it's not a phrase. it's not something from madison avenue, it's a fact. they are not making that argument. stuart: they should make that argument and very forcefully. when this debate is $3.5 trillion is debated. we should make that point very,

very strongly. brian: we have two vos, which shows are you doing today? >> two shows. brian: aren't you doing america build? >> you know about that thanks for mentioning that and my other show is varney and company which starts at 9:00 eastern weekdays. 9:00 a.m. eastern. you have got to be there, brian. you are on the radio. brian: once a week we share audiences. thanks for stopping by. we just did your show prep for you. ains good sigh. 11 minutes before the top of the hour. we are stepping aside more in a minute. brian: that's our logo. nothing rhymes with liberty mutual. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ ♪ born to be wild ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ born to be wild ♪ see disney's jungle cruise.

seems that the pressure is getting to the governor. >> damn nice if our homegrown team started foe using on what's right. everybody outside this state is [bleep] about this state because of our success. steve: of course. ainsley: california resident and radio host mike slater joins us now to react to it good morning, mike. >> morning, guys. ainsley: how close is the election going to be there and

what's your reaction to him yelling? >> a lot closer than he thinks. that doesn't sound like a governor though thinks is he going to be ghorn five weeks. a couple days ago. much gavin newsom was caught cleaning up trash underneath a homeless encampment in san francisco he had his work gloves on and sleeves rolled up and that's not something he normally does on a tuesday morning. is he very worried. and that same video he is talking about how he created 500,000 new jobs in california this year. eat your heart out, florida and texas. what he knows is that we're still down a million jobs since before the pandemic. he knows that. and people may not know that number. but people in california feel it we have had enough of it. and that's why people are so outraged. brian: he can't believe it he thought he would be could youd up to be the future of the party. now he might not even be the future of california. in fact, here is the latest poll. i know they can go inverse quickly. california voters likely --

california likely voters on if newsom should be recalled. 51 percent said yes in this poll. 41 percent said no. overall we hear he would survive a recall 51 to 48. i saw that poll, too. what's your gut tell you? >> well, two things. first, the hispanic numbers are terrible for him 54% of hispanics want him gone. in that same speech he did there, he said that in california we have expanded the boundaries of discovery. like give me a break, gavin, you have single hispanic mother worked in tourism industry hasn't worked in a year and a half. her kids haven't gone to school in two years and wearing masks everywhere they go. ask her if she feels her boundaries of discovery have been expanded. give me a break. here is though, guys, why i'm not super encouraged and i hate to be the bearer of bad news. we have a new thing in this election in california. can you print out your parking lot. union members knock door-to-door i'm here from the save the puppy foundation, have you gotten a

time. in terms of corn, is it just stalks now? are there any corns to pick out? when does corn peak? ainsley: it hasn't peaked yet. brian: you can't pull it. steve: iowa is a corn state. most of america's corn comes from iowa and it is right now there are corn cobs on the stalk and the corn -- will cain is there right now ahead the game tonight. will, the corn is as high as an elephant's eye, right? ainsley: he was in it last night. tell us what you saw. will: i wanted to be the expert on brian's question. i was sitting here with steve and ainsley who clearly have some expertise on corn. it's above head high. i would say the corn is a good . and there is corn on the stalk, steve, as you mentioned. thought corn that makes up the outfield here at the field of dreams. this is feed corn. this is for cows, cattle. this is not sweet corn. not what we eat. it is not quite ripe.

ainsley is exactly right. it will be harvested in the fall. steve: there you go. brian: should the players be told not to pick the corn while they're waiting to be introduced? they are coming through the cornfield, right? will: wouldn't it be awesome though if, say, you know, joey gallow was sitting out there in the outfield like a 5-year-old instead of chasing butterflies and picking corn off the stalks? that would be incredible. ainsley: will, i have a garden and my daughter planted it and so excited about it my nephews came a few weeks ago. they picked every single little green tomato. and they threw them in a big pile. steve: friday green tomatoes. brian: it's hard because you planned on living off the land in september. ainsley: i was waiting on them to turn red. now i'm disappointed that i have to wait until the fall to eat my corn? will: here is an idea, ainsley. now there and build a baseball field. [laughter] will: just like they did right

here. ainsley: next year. will: people will come ainsley. steve: they will indeed. will cain is covering for us all day long the field of dreams game is going to be the yankees vs. the white sox tonight 7:00 on fox. and a lot of people from iowa have never seen a major league team in their state and tonight is the night. so people are very excited. and it's really cool. ainsley: i know. i bet everyone who flew out there had to be in a of course that, right? let's talk about covid right now. steve: on a plane, absolutely. ainsley: it's falling. his numbers have dropped 10 points over the last month, his approval this month is 54%. last month in june -- well, with it months ago in june it was 64%. his disapproval has gone up. in june it was 34%. and now it's 42%. brian: because, you know, he was counting on this. right now according to the fox news poll seems to be generous towards democrats again over 50% approval. agree they have to be happy with that in the white house.

but one of the things that's fueling his approval was this pandemic performance. and now that we see this surge of the day or night and the arguing between the states, and the petty policies that have him going after texas and florida ny are seeing that pfizer vaccines are less effective and to a degree moderna as well, less effective against the delta variant. meaning that hospitalizations are down, fatalities are down, but if you actually having break through disease it's diminishing by the month. ains the majority of the people with the break through got pfizer. brian: pfizer more than moderna. steve: the mayo clinic looked at

25,000 people from minnesota from january to july. so this data is now from the mayo clinic. and what they say is because delta is different from the alpha strain which the vaccines were built upon, the pfizer vaccine is only 42% effective. and that's not a great number. moderna is 76%. which is much better but it's not 100 percent. nonetheless, you know, what the administration has been trying to do is try to get as many people vaccinated as possible. yesterday, one of the things that joe biden said when he was running for president came back to haunt him because i believe it was in september when he said i don't trust anything that donald trump is doing regarding coronavirus. keep in mind, he was running for president and he was trying to say that theplace is screwing ue pandemic response, well, peter doosie asked jen psaki about that yesterday and she had this

to say. >> any thought given, looking back to the possibility that he may have created some vaccine hesitancy when last year around this time the previous administration was rushing to get a vaccine authorized and now the president said i trust vaccines i trust scientists but i don't trust donald trump and at this moment the american people can't either. >> well, i think it's safe to say he doesn't trust donald trump so that hasn't changed. he does trust scientist, he does state experts and does trust people leading the cdc, the fda, which is the gold standard of approval for a vaccine. brian: so, by the way, on the effectiveness of those vaccines, you can be sure if there are diminishing effects need a booster shot if they're diminishing suddenly jen psaki will say as you know crump's administration came up with the vaccines he will immediately get credit. israel did a study on effectiveness of pfizer they seem they seem to be a little bit ahead of us and vaccine was

a lot easier but they did it more effectively, 39% effective at preventing infections, johnson & johnson down to 33%. but hospitalizations are down significantly. so, it means you are -- you are going to hear more and more about breakthroughs and next thing hearing about the next few weeks are boosters. we will all have to go get boosters. ainsley: they're saying right around the corner. steve: could be tomorrow. ainsley: why do you think that the government changed the guidelines when it comes to covid and mask wearing and mask mandates? 46 percent said politics and 42 percent said new information. so look at that. more people. brian: so true. ainsley: it's about politics. brian: biggest problem with these restrictions there is no expiration date. you know what happens. the numbers go down, they continue to keep the restaurants restricted. they continue to keep gyms restricted. continue to keep travel restricted we say wait a second. because of these governors and these mayors seem to love the power. and we have already seen this

movie before. we don't want to go in that direction. we want some control over our lives, and i think americans, democrat and republicans are reluctant to give it over to elected officials. ainsley: now going into the school year and kids get vaccinated hear it's not fda approved so why would we do that? steve: when they started the plans for getting back to school this delta variant was not part of the equation. the fox news opinion polls also asked people do you like the idea that certain cities would mandate that you have got to be vaccinated to go a restaurant or use a gym or things like that? and 50% say they favor cities requiring vaccination for indoor activity. also in another. ainsley: 77 percent said that? steve: 50%. meanwhile by a 20 point margin people are more likely to shop at stores that require a vaccine because they feel that they would be in a store with other people who got the vaccine and

they would be safe. it's all about, you know, it's time to get the vaccine because it does help save your life. ainsley: california is the first state to require teachers. you have to get a vaccine if you are teaching in that state. steve: or get tested. ainsley: or get tested every week. brian: new york city fridays or applebee's starting in a couple weeks you have to show your vaccination card. and i also think people should say well, for this i understand it. but understand that this is a precedent. a slippery slope. how many other vaccines am i going to need to go and grab a burger at a bar in the future? steve: well, let's hope this covid thing goes away as soon as possible. brian: i think we will be living with variants for years. ainsley: i do, are too. steve: unfortunately as long as there are 90 million unvaccinated people they are the ones who are going to get sick. ainsley: not only are we dealing with the vaccines and covid and trying to figure all this out. we are also deal with inflation. and that affects your pocketbook. so many things have gone up year

over year. and if you compare last year to this year, car and truck rental up 73.5%. brian: wow. ainsley: hertz declared bankruptcy because of uber. gas prices up 43%. hotels up 24.1%. pork roast steak or rib you will pay more, almost 14%, and milk is up and eggs are up as well. brian: they say each in today's society, as much as things are equal, mostly women are doing the shopping. and women are seeing these numbers. and what does that mean for politicians? everything. because when people say is my life better? if you tell them they got a raise but they are still paying more when they go to the counter to pay, whether you do self, you know, self-checkout or not, they are going to say who got us into this mess and who made it worse? and that's when they go and they close the curtain and they make the vote. that's where they are going to vote. steve: well, the really scary number is when you go to the gas station. because we're not driving as much, we don't go as often.

but, when you do go, right now gas is $1 a gallon more. than it was a year ago at this time. also, according to the fox news polls, 33% think the economy is in poor condition. that's not good for joe biden. 79% blame the administration for inflation. that's not good for joe biden. and 86% are worried that inflation will be growing. and the prices are going to continue to go high, especially on oil. which is interesting because, the united states of america, has the capacity to drill and bring up to the surface a lot of oil. ainsley: we were doing well before this administration. steve: we were doing well. and then yesterday joe biden said we need more oil. but we're not going to do it because politically it would be bad for me with my green agenda. so i'm going to ask opec to do it. ainsley: but i thought he cared about the environment. they are doing what he got rid of here. they are prosecutorsing the oil the same way he is not in fair of. asking opec to give us the oil,

drill more to our gas prices go down. he knows with gas prices going up everything goals up because those truckers need the gas to deliver every single thing you need to buy in the grocery store. steve: watch the president say that yesterday at the white house. >> today gas prices are lower than they were early in this decade. but they are still high enough to create a pinch on working families. one key thing about the infrastructure bill that just passed the senate is there are no gas tax increases. no gas tax increases. but that's not enough. recently, we have seen the price oil companies pay for a barrel of oil begin to fall, but the cost of gaffes lien at the pump for more american people hasn't fallen. that's not what you would expect in a competitive market. we also made clear to opec, the major oil exporting nations of the world. that the production cuts made during the pandemic should be reversed as a global economic --

as the global economy recovers in order to lower prices for consumers. brian: yeah, i followed that. please make us more dependent on the middle east. worked so well 50 years. finally had freedom there we had russia had to scram to be keep up with us. this other wonderful place called iran and he wants to get us out of the middle east. he is about to pull us out of iraq and then he's us more dependent on the middle east which will bring us back to the middle east. he knows better. he has been doing this job for a long time. steve: when you look at the two things we were just talking about. going back to -- we have not seen inflation like this since jimmy carter and what famously happened during jimmy carter, because of high gas prices and the demand, gas lines. which we saw, remember, a couple of months ago when the colonial pipeline froze up. and suddenly there was no supply. and there were gas lines and people were paying 7 bucks a gallon in the carolinas. ainsley: i love it how he spins it. gases still aren't as high as

they were 10 years ago. a little too high. still feeling the pinch. steve: it's up a dollar a gallon. ainsley: how many gal loans do you put in your car? how much more are you pays? steve: 20 bucks per tank it's like a hidden tax. every time you go and fill up. it's a hidden tax. it's an extra 20 bucks. brian: wait a second. is it true that the environment is not affected if somebody else drills for oil? because that's what it seems to me. ainsley: is he asking russia or these middle eastern countries to do exactly what he is not in favor of because of climate change. residence. brian: john kerry can fly over to the middle east and convert. ainsley: if somebody is going to drill it why wouldn't he let it be us? steve: of course jobs for americans. when you bring it over from opec, you got to ship it and that, you know, more of the impact on the climate, which of course, joe biden doesn't want

to do. ainsley: doesn't make sense. brian: who wants to toss to jillian? ainsley: i will do it. hey, jillian. jillian: hi, ainsley, brian and steve. indianapolis officer comes to the aid of a wounded cop shop in the leg. shooting happening as authorities were outside a home responding to a domestic disturbance call. the wounded officer's partner applied a turn cut and got him transferred to a hospital in stable condition. a girl and woman were also shot. they are in critical condition. police say the suspected gunman died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. a loudoun county school board member announces the passage of a controversial policy that requires teachers to use preferred gender pronouns for students. one of two members who voted no on the policy. fifth grade teacher laura morris, we showed you this she quit in front of a board meeting earlier this week saying she can no longer push the district's, quote: highly politicized agendas. morris used morris as an example in his speech opposing the

apprehension highest in 20 years. we are going the wrong direction. this comes as secretary mayorkas is heading to texas today to talk to the officials there who are going to give him an earful. here to react retired acting ice director and fox news contributor tom homan. tom, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: good to have you out here on the noisy streets of new york city. someone is going to start jack jackhammering in just a moment. you watch. when mayorkas goes down there. the local leader are going to say hey, can you please have a moratorium on releasing migrants into the community because you are not testing them for covid and we got a covid problem. >> i don't really know why the secretary is going down there, right? he said on national tv he said during congressional testimony the border is secure. it's closed. so why is he going down there? so obviously there is an issue. but, look, they haven't taken one step to slow the flow. everything they have done is to process aliens quicker and release them into our communities quicker. that's the only success they have had which isn't a success. that's just going to entice more

people to come here illegally. steve: see, the problem is joe biden's number one agenda item is trying to fix the coronavirus. all these people are coming into the country something like 25% already have coronavirus. and when they are apparently when they are going to be deported, 25% of them have coronavirus. and then they have got to isolate them and quarantine them and can't send them back until they are better. >> absolutely. that's why not just a national security crisis. a public safety crisis because we know how many criminals and border already arrested over 8 thowrgs. a public health crisis. that's why i'm upset with a lot of republican congressman and senator. not one single senator should have vetted for that infrastructure bill. they should have held until something is done on this border this border should be front and center. republicans need to not meet with the democrats. they need to talk about no legislation until they hold this administration accountable. and demand action on the border. steve: you know what, tom, they could have -- they could have a

2,000-mile border wall, 75 feet high, but if the administration is going to let people through, one way or the other, actual infrastructure won't help. >> that's why the secretary has no business going down there. this can be fixed from the oval office. joe biden just needs to overturn his policies, take some of the trump era policies that worked. the data clearly shows it worked. they can fix this from the oval office. they don't need to go down there and do another dog and pony show that means nothing. steve: last time mayorkas was there he said the strategy is working. what is the strategy? >> the strategy is open borders and it's working very well. look, they came in this administration to create open borders and that's exactly what they're doing. mayorkas is a hero to the administration because he has allowed open borders to continue. again, i will say this. they have not done one thing to slow the flow. they have not done one thing to secure that border. all efforts they are making right now is to release people quicker. they have sent hundreds of border patrol agents down there to augment the workforce. they are not working the line and securing the border.

they are not aligned line duties processing quicker. most of the northern border agents have been sent down there to process illegal aliens, therefore line watch, river patrol, boat patrol on the are northern border is almost nonexistent. steve: i have a feeling secretary mayorkas is going to hear a lot of what you said later today in south texas. is is he going to do anything about it. >> no. this is open borders agenda. continue to allow these people. in every month he has been secretary the numbers have climbed. evidence month that president biden has been in office the numbers have climbed. this has been a massive failure by this administration this country is at risk because of it. steve: tom, thanks for joining us out here in the noisy new york city. i told you the jack hammer was going to be there and it was. >> thank you. steve: straight ahead, marking out on wokeness, a whistleblower reveals that american express is pushing the message capitalism is racist on their employees.

book which is fantastic called "woke inc." comes out next tuesday. vivek, are you stunned by this? think about this? a credit card tries to entice you to shop now they want to make you feel bad about it. >> well, look, big business has figured out that they can actually make money by critiquing themselves, right? at first it looks like masochism if you look more closely it's a way that these guys deter regulatory scrutiny. american express in particular has been under federal investigation for the last year for rampantly duping small businesses across this country. the "wall street journal" has reported pretty extensively on it they figure regulators tend to be liberal. why not deter them by projecting our woke values and professing anti-racism. instead, the financial services industry does this all the time. goldman does it, jp morgan does it, american express does and it i'm sorry to say a lot of time it actually ends up working but it's particularly ironic for a credit card company that caters to ultra rich people to be ultimately criticizing the very

capitalist structure that allows people to create wealth for themselves. they their flagship product is a black card. black card isn't for black people who spend millions of dollars a year. what better company to criticize capitalism as racist than american express. brian: teaching capitalism and how to get that black card. >> exactly. brian: can a legal mohammed great grandson of -- famous with muhammed ali malcolm x followed them he argued in a speech toe amex for amex to reduce standards for black customers and sacrifice profits for race based reparation. >> look, i think this is exactly the playbook of ultimately projecting these woke values. they don't mean it they are not authentic about it at all. i actually think what you are seeing at a lot of these companies brian has crossed the line to become down right illegal. title vii of the civil rights act tells you can't discriminate

on the basis of race. there is a good case this could be actually racial discrimination and teaching people that they ought to pledge allegiance to this new religion. and you can't as an employer force your employees to bound down to new woke religion than you can any other religion. i think when you get these kind of folks coming in and teaching mandatory company seminars that veterans on a civil rights violation, employees can take that to court. brian: fox news poll one of the questions works well for this segment, capitalism for socialism democrats. 49% view capitalism favorably. 44% unfavorably. and now in terms of socialism, 59% view socialism favorably, 31% have unfavorable. vivek, the numbers don't surprise you but it's because capitalism has been lazy. people have to explain what socialism means. it's not what you get, it's not even playing field.

it's not vilifying rich people. people should bring up examples of what it would mean. >> yeah, look, we have a new anti-capitalism culture in this country, brian, that's a symptom of our teacher culture of anti-excellence in this country. it's not happening by accident. and i don't think the solution is just going to be explaining the virtues of capitalism. realize the trick that big business plays in becoming the biggest critic of capitalism itself. they think like winston churchill said years ago he who feeds the crocodile will be saved by being eaten by the crocodile last. history teaches us it actually doesn't work that wait a minute big business sees the democratic party, the party that's in power, going against capitalism, they think they can avoid the ire by criticizing capitalism, instead it creates downward spiral where we lose the very mechanism that allowed us to create wealth as a country in the first place that brings not just the top down but everyone down along with it. brian: i have yet to see a politician make effective

guard was perfectly suited for this mission. they also work very well with the texas national guard and local border patrol but they're alarmed as well as i am by what's happening down there and how this facilitation of migration is happening by the white house. steve: sure. brian: you were called out by dr. anthony fauci because sturgi s is evidently something he wasn't invited to. it's problematic. outdoors on a motorcycle, you would think be one of the safest places to be. listen to what he said about one of the most important events in your state. >> it's understandable that people want to do the kinds of things they want to do. they want their freedom to do that, but there comes a time when you're dealing with a public health crisis that could involve you, your family, and everyone else, that something supercedes that need to do exactly what you want to do. brian: governor? >> it's shocking to me that he

continues to pick on republican governor, people who love their freedoms, and he ignores what's happening at the border. i didn't hear him criticize president obama for having a party for his birthday. i didn't hear him go after the other concerts that have been happening in this country or the complete ignoring of our federal laws by this open border policy that president biden has embraced. dr. fauci has become political and i think it's unfortunate because there's going to be a point in time again where we really need our public health officials and know we can trust them and he has discredited his entire profession by the positions he's taken during this pandemic. steve: sure and there does seem to be a double standard you're absolutely right. he talked about sturgis, he doesn't talk about the former president's big party or lollapalooza in chicago being potential super spreader event, and he doesn't talk about what is going on on the southern border because you look at the facts, and apparently, a week ago today, joe biden got a

briefing from his department of homeland security, and was told that about a quarter of the people coming into the country, illegally, have covid. they don't test everybody, but the ones they test, a quarter have covid which is unbelievable and yesterday, the mayor of lare do, texas said everyday, because there's so many people coming into their town, they've got to spend $10,000 a day to bust them out and nobody is tested, so people are leaving laredo texas, we don't know if they have covid and they go to austin and houston and some probably wind up in south dakota. >> steve when i was down there, i was just there for one day. we got a phone call i was with the border patrol and my national guard. they got a phone call from a local sheriff that said i've got 50 covid positive illegal aliens i'm holding at a local baseball field. what can i do with them and border patrol said i don't know what to do with them and they said we don't have any space, we're full. a non-profit that usually takes these individuals didn't want to take them because they were all covid positive, and that was

literally the discussion that our border patrol officers were having with local law enforcement there as in they've got this crisis created by somebody whose thousands of miles away in washington d.c., and everyday their life is hell, because they are trying to make the right decisions and they aren't giving the authorities to go forward and to really deal with it and do the right thing, so this is a tragedy. it's a public health crisis. it's a national security crisis. what this white house is doing is trying to destroy america by ignoring our laws and we know for a nation without laws, a nation without a border, that we're no nation at all and so it's alarming to me we should be talking about it and the hypocrisy of how they go after and dr. fauci goes after certain individuals and not others, it's wrong and the american people need to wake up. brian: i'll let you see if he comments because they are supposed to have this big concerts in central park in new york city, i'd love to see him take that on because he seems to like riots and demonstrations. >> well the motorcycle bike

rally is going great. we'll have up to about a million people in south dakota. we always love it when people come and see us and our beautiful country, and all these folks they're patriots. they love the fact they can take personal responsibility and go spend sometime with people that they love and so i enjoyed going on a motorcycle ride with them and spending time with them, having charity auctions we participated in. its been a good week. ainsley: you allow lemonade stands there. the kid whose famous for serving the bikers lemonade. >> i went to see wyatt and his family and i was standing there, there's lines and lines of people waiting to donate to st. jude, this little boy had organized. he already had a dirt bike donated to him, but they are lining up and these folks are getting off their motorcycles handing him $100, giving him a hug, and thanking him for thinking of other people, and for raising money for other people. so these people have big hearts, and are there supporting a young man whose doing the right thing.

steve: let's talk, governor, about a young woman by the name of tymara stock. team usa wrestler, she won the gold and said this about a week ago. she said i love representing the u.s.. i freaking love living there. i love it and i'm so happy, i get to represent usa. she was on with shawn last night and said this. watch. >> my mom raised us to be respectful and my dad was an immigrant and he came from gh ana, came to america and he made a way for himself, like he had a whole bunch of businesses, and he made nothing out of something or he made something out of nothing and i just know that if you go out and give what you want, nothing can stop you so i guess just from those kind of parents in my life , i just have love for my country. steve: she has love for her country and unfortunately she's the exception. we didn't hear that many u.s. athletes say i love america

>> well here is the difference, steve, that you're talking about the fact that she loves her country, she was raised with character, integrity, she has gifts and talents. she talked about her family and that's the conversation we need to start having in this country is strong families, that parents need to be parents, they need to spend time with their kid, if you're having problems with your children spend time with them. make them be with you, that's the people that have time with our children are the ones that influence them, and so we have to start talking about the problems in this country stem from families that are struggling and we need to start building into them to create a stronger environment at home so these kids can be more successful in the future. ainsley: governor, walker haze has a song out called "fancy like" and all the kids are learning this dance now. steve: why is she laughing? ainsley: because we know you did this. tell us the story about this video that we're watching? >> we had about a half hour when we were at our cabin in the black hills for a little bit and i said to my kids, what are these reals on instagram and we

started watching and they said do you think you can learn that and i said i don't know, we got 20 minutes let's try, so what you saw was a little experiment, by somebody who isn't a very good dancer. steve: you are great. are you kidding? ainsley: we tried to learn this at the beach and nobody really got it, except my friends you're good, 20 minutes. >> well it was fun, we had a good afternoon. steve: my wife and i watch it all the time because it's just a nice distraction and a lot of fun. are you planning your next dance move? >> you know, i could. i guess we'll see how america reacts. that is not very impressive but i can keep practicing. we'll see how much free time i get. steve: governor thank you very much from south dakota we know for sure. >> thank you. have a wonderful day. ainsley: you too. jillian have you tried it yet? jillian: no, brian you could do that because you couldn't technically be on a dance floor, you could do it anywhere in the comfort of your home.

brian: this is the first time i've ever saw this in person. i think it's a lot harder. the dance that really made my name with was the hustle and also, what's another one, the waltz? steve: electric slide. brian: that's a good one. but i mean, this looks difficult ainsley: it does. jillian: she does a great job. brian: and she goes in front. steve: and this is a social media trend right now on instagram. it's just that a lot of people do it, all over the country. ainsley: cross, lift your leg up jillian: ainsley i feel like you can do this. ainsley: i learned it but we didn't really focus on it too long but i could learn it. you could definitely learn it jillian. steve: we have walker on our show. could have gotten a lesson right there. ainsley: true. okay, well you guys continue to study those dance moves and give us a live performance after the headlines. >> let's go ahead and start off with this story we're following. bravery in blue. an indianapolis officer comes to the aid of a wounded cop shot in the leg. the shooting happening as authorities were outside a home responding to a domestic

reaction to hooking a great white shark on a massachusetts beach. check it out. >> it's a shark! >> oh, my god. >> you caught a shark? >> oh, my god! jillian: his family obviously freaking out but the fisherman casually passes off his beer as he tries reeling in the massive shark and it thrashed on the line for a bit before eventually breaking free. that is a look at your headlines i'll send it back to you. steve: i think we need a bigger beach. brian: how big is that hook? ainsley: did they let it go? steve: it broke the line. brian: sharks are getting way too close to shore. what's going on? is the middle of the ocean too scary even for sharks? they want to stay near us? can we just please swim, one more month to swim, just back off. ainsley: they call new smyrna beach, florida the shark capitol of the world. brian: and the sharks know that and keep coming. ainsley: because of where the

tide comes. steve: it has to do with the temperature of the water. brian: they like it at a certain temperature. now sharks need it warm? steve: i think they like it cold brian: sharks need warm water. up next senator tom cotton on the latest on afghanistan and the legislation to keep critical race theory out of the classroom ainsley: a surprise escort on the first day of school. showing up to join the son of a fallen officer on the first day of fourth grade and that boy noah joins us with some of the officers later in the hour. >> ♪ i'll walk through hell with you ♪ i'm morgan, and there's more to me than hiv. more love, more adventure, more community. but with my hiv treatment, there's not more medicines in my pill. i talked to my doctor and switched to fewer medicines with dovato. dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment or replacing their current hiv-1 regimen. with just 2 medicines in 1 pill, dovato is as effective as a 3-drug regimen...

brian: fox news alert overnight the taliban seizing its tenth provincial capitol in afghanistan and a police

headquarters. the militant group now reportedly controls 65% of afghanistan, as the u.s. official warns the country capitol kabul could be taken within 90 days. it's the grey area on the map you're looking at. arkansas gop senator tom cotton served in afghanistan, joins us right now. senator, i know you're not for endless war, but i don't think the american people thought in 90 days a capitol would fall that we helped build up for 10 years, for 20 years. >> yeah, brian things are very alarming developments in afghanistan over the last week. the biden administration assured us they had a plan for an orderly and structured withdraw that would allow the afghan government to stand up to the taliban, and as you said, we saw the tenth capitol fall overnight, that's the tenth capitol in just a few days. it goes to show the kind of slap dash disorganized planning that went into this withdrawal,

and it raises real questions about president biden's plan to defend our number one interest in afghanistan, which has been for 20 years, to prevent it from becoming a safe haven for terrorists that they can use to strike against the united states or our citizens around the world. brian: yeah and by the way we know the taliban aren't going to attack us but they allow other terror groups to thrive amongst them, and to perpetrate attacks and we know what they were capable of doing 20 year ago now with the technology it harkens to think what they are capable of doing now so this finally came up with the press conference. jen psaki reacting to the remarkable progress the taliban are making. listen. >> the national security defense for the equipment number s in training to fight back. they have what they need. what they need to determine is if they have the political will to fight back, and if they have the ability to unite as leaders to fight back. the taliban also has to make an assessment about what they want their role to be in the

international community. brian: so let's let them fight but they are going to lose and the taliban will be in charge so we'll evacuate and have plenty of time to evacuate the embassy by the way the polls show that we're not for endless war we get it but the american people ranks terrorism as one or two as the thing they care about most. that symbolize terrorist activity. your thoughts, senator? >> yeah, i don't think general psaki is going to inspire me and the troops to go out and charge into battle with statements like that and again the fact that the biden administration did not predict this and by some reports , all the way up to president biden, are surprised and shaken by the number of capitols that have been falling suggests that they don't have the plan to continue counter terrorist operations in afghanistan. i can tell you as a member of the armed services and intelligence committee i've not heard those plans. i've not heard how they get the cooperation of some pretty unfriendly nations that surround afghanistan to help support counterterrorism operations, and as you said, brian, the taliban may not

launch attacks against the united states but what they did in the late 1990s leading up to 2001 is they allowed al qaeda to operate freely inside of afghanistan, to plan and to operate until they struck us on 9/11 and afghanistan still has the largest concentration of foreign terrorist organizations in the world, all which would love to kill americans. brian: on the political front here unrelated, you got a little bit of progress, the senate passed tom cotton's amendment preventing federal funds from promoting crts in school as a virginia teacher you saw quit, so senator people listened and you got support for this? >> yeah, we did, brian. a majority of the senate passed the bill that would prohibit federal fronts being used to indoctrinate children with critical race theory. i think that's very significant because so many americans are opposed to the unamerican principles of critical race theory, that the most important thing about us is our race or that some races are inherently privileged others inherently

victimized but it was the thin its majority possible, 50-49, and all 49 of those democrats are going to have to answer at the ballot box. some of them as early as next year about why they think your tax dollars should go to indoctrinate children to think america is a racist nation. brian: senator thanks so much appreciate it. talk to you again soon. >> thank you. brian: you got it meanwhile if you build it, they will come. our will cain is live at the field of dreams ahead of tonight 's nostalgic game. will? will: yup, i took the field of dreams yesterday, brian. i hit, i pitched, and i will be in the seats when we come back. >> ♪ chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more, you're not the only one with questions about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they even start, with about 10 minutes of treatment once every 3 months.

i mean, it's going to be an up hill battle though. the interesting thing is if you remember, back during the primaries, ainsley, kamala harris was so unpopular within the democrat party, she had to dropout before the primaries in her home state of california. she dropped out before marion williamson even did and she had failed spectacularly at the two jobs that she had been given since becoming vice president of the united states. getting the vaccines out and across the country and encouraging people who are hesitant about the vaccines to get them, i think everybody that has had the ability to get the vaccines now has gotten it and i don't think you're going to convince anybody with kamala harris to get them any more, and then we know the southern border, the one-time she went down to the southern border, she went to the wrong area, the area that did not have the massive issues at the rio grande valley does, so i do think that they're looking to her for 2024. they say 2028, but i think it's going to be an uphill battle

are not responsible to pay their landlords rent at this point in so many places as well, we are getting used to relying on the government for so much. we have seen inflation through the roof, prices skyrocketing across the country, so many people can't handle it on their own so they're willing to take that government handout that is because of the failure of our government that we have seen those prices increase, so it's a very slippery slope whenever you continue to be reliant on the government for a long period of time, maybe, ainsley, you get used to it, but i certainly think for a younger generation it is up to us to teach them about socialism to teach them about the failure it has been, every single time, it has been implemented. ainsley: when you hear these stories we interview so many people that came from socialist countries to talk about the wonderful aspects of america and capitalism. it's just blows my mind that people would think that socialism is a good thing. thank you so much for coming on it's so good to see you. >> thanks ainsley. ainsley: let's check in with our

jason was a great great officer. he taught me something really important in life, that you can give your job 100%, but then come home and give your family 100% but if it's not one or the other abdomen he was great with veterans in crisis. he knew so many resources i had no idea about because he was a veteran. he took the time on calls. he was a funny guy, an infectious laugh, and he was a blessing to have on the squad. really a great guy. steve: right and don, why did you guys decide to try to honor him by escorting noah to school? >> you know, i think only because he would have done the same thing probably for anybody else, anybody else's kid, son, daughter, he would have done it if they were related, not related. he just had a huge heart, you know, jason brought that out in us and that's why we're here to support noah. he's an amazing kid, and i didn't know him for a long time

but for the moment i had known him he's got a big heart too just like his dad and extremely important to us to see him move on and be happy and live a wonderful life, so we're here to support him. steve: christa how important is it that the officers have your back during this time of need? >> it's extremely important. it really shows noah and i that a job he went to, and they've done everything, i mean, on his birthday they came, the whole squad came up with a trunk full of presents to surprise him, jason's partner tries to come home and have lunch with noah whenever he can, because that's something that they did during the summer in distance learning, and it was the highlighted of noah's day. he'd ask all morning, is daddy and scott coming home? so, he tried to do that, and also his partner scott's

birthday falls on noah's birthday, and he's like what are we going to do this year for our birthday so they've just been extremely supportive and noah's connection to his dad being a police officer and i think that's extremely important for him. steve: and noah, you want to be a police officer like your dad when you grow up, right? >> yes. steve: well i think those two people behind you can help make that happen. folk, thank you very much for joining us from las vegas. >> thank you very much. steve: officer jason swanger was 41. as your business changes, the united states postal service is changing with it. with e-commerce that runs at the speed of now. next day and two-day shipping nationwide, and returns right from the doorstep. it's a whole new world out there. let's not keep it waiting.
