roger ailes had an interesting comment about the state of journalism. >> journalists provide a tremendous service to this nation but they must stay true to the cause of searching for the truth and putting the stories in context and we try to do that. laura: j wallace, the entire fox news team. >> when you see headlines and reports of mass firings and hundreds of people losing their jobs look at the bigger story. todd: friday october 8th, president biden dismissing outrage over and vaccinated americans losing their job, his approval rating on the economy dips to a new low as we await a new jobs report this morning. jillian: the migrants crisis taking a toll on president biden's presidency is a delegation heads to mexico city today. will they ignore the elephant in

the room? todd: reaction, joining us live where we live, heart stopping moment. jillian: you are watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning. todd: you are taking a live look at the white house where president biden is holding out hope for better jobs report after disappointing numbers in office. >> inflation sores and the president's agenda remains up in the air. >> the president is hoping to avoid a repeat of last week's dismal numbers, the economy added 235,000 jobs short of what they were projecting. today they are forecasting september to show a hiring booster 500,000 new jobs in a 0.one% drop in unemployment to 5.one%.

we will find out if the projections due to cases nationwide but if they fall short again with the supply shortages and rising inflation threatening a recovery look for the president to blame the pandemic as he praises vaccine mandates yesterday for helping the economy. >> more people are getting vaccinated, more lives are being saved. when you see headlines and reports of mass firings and hundreds of people losing their jobs look at the bigger story. >> reporter: this as the senate punted the fiscal disaster to december voting to increase the debt ceiling by $480 billion temporarily averting the nation's first default in history. the move wouldn't have happened without deal struck by mitch mcconnell but afterwards both sides blaming each other. >> republicans played a

dangerous and risky partisan game and i am glad their brinksmanship did not work. >> the majority didn't have a plan to prevent default so we stepped forward. >> the fight again in december, democrats between moderates and democrats intensifying, you can see senator manchin frustrated telling reporters he was disappointed by leader schumer's remarks and kristen sinema accosted by protesters in the halls and outside capitol hill, now this measure goes to the house where on tuesdays they will vote on it but must pass it to the president's desk and already grumblings from folks like aoc and the squad. we will see what happens starting next week. todd: they are never happy. thank you. today the us and mexico are set to discuss the new security agreement when officials from

both sides meet in mexico city. anthony blinken, dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas and attorney general merrick island will attend talks with mexico's president as donald trump blasts president biden and democrats failure to control the border. >> they sued us, the democrats, congress for 2 and a half years, and then we were able to start the world, would've been a tradition of the period of weeks and now we are paying $6 million a week for contractors not to build the wall. somebody doesn't love our country. when they allow this to happen to our country we have hundreds of thousands of people pouring in every two weeks, hundreds of thousands. >> there is still this question whether or not the white house delegation going to mexico today is going to talk about immigration. there is only one topic to talk about with mexico and it is immigration. is the elephant in the room like

you said, there is no other topic. republicans addressing it, 10 gop governors for multiple states headed to the border coming up with a 10 point plan to allow our country to recover from this disaster speaking to the american people whose lives are being ruined, texas, greg abbott requesting an appeal of fema's denial of the emergency declaration for the border crisis, people of texas are crying for help but the president has never been to the border and a border czar nowhere to be found. >> look at poll numbers and it is so fascinating to see these numbers incrementally changing as we go along. 23% of people approve of president biden's handling of the border crisis, 67% of respondentss to this quinnipiac poll disapproval how he is handling the situation at the mexican border. that on top of breaking it down by party, half of democrats

approve of his handling of the border. you expect that number to be higher considering that is his party, the numbers watch, 18% of independents approving his handling of the situation at the mexico border and we talked about it for a long time community pendants i want to watch as you approach the midterm and eventually get into the election but independents are an interesting group because a lot of independents voted for president biden because they didn't like donald trump and his tweets and things like that and you're seeing a shift, they will be a group to watch to see as we get closer to the midterms. will: todd: will democrats change course in the next 12 months leading up to the midterms, i'm not so sure. when i look at that number, 50%, it is lower than you might expect but 50% of that party

thinks what they are seeing at the border is all good. they are happy with this and that should frighten every single american. it shows why does president biden need to change course if half the people that voted him into office are happy with this debacle? the independent number is very low. i think it will cost democrats the house and the senate in 2022 but i am flummoxed by this 50%. i live in a democrat state. i don't no one one says this border thing is going great. jillian: interesting to watch those numbers. now to a fox news alert, u.s. navy seal is injured when the uss connecticut hit an unknown object in the indo pacific region, the submarine's nuclear power plant was not damaged. the collision happening with the nation of i reaching a fever pitch. they fly dozens of warplanes

into to i use were space. jillian: flying eligible afghan refugees to the us. todd: as the biden and ministration does not have an answer how many americans remain stranded in afghanistan. >> reporter: seems like deflection at the moment but it was during the early chaos of the withdrawal that most people were flying out unfettered. of these private evacuations they only account for a tiny proportion of the total number. nevertheless that is where the state department is shifting blame. >> there have been several instances of chartered aircraft to transport individuals out of afghanistan. identity checks on arrival and transit destinations revealed many passengers were not eligible for relocation and in

some cases despite our best that in the manifest were not accurate. >> reporter: the real concern is afghans flown to the us, 700 of them, and one congressman arrested after servicemember was at fort bliss. >> that is successful. service members save on military bases within the united states, where does that look for anytown usa once they are let loose. >> reporter: the us charged one afghan in relation to the killing of sergeant joseph mckay in 2008, the former taliban and matter was extradited from ukraine, kidnapping and killing 3 troops.

and the taliban colleagues they run afghanistan. jillian: thank you. todd: the white house dodging questions about attorney general merrick garland labeling concerned parent like these who speak out at school board meetings the new face of domestic terrorism. >> reporter: the justice department investigating parents, as possible domestic terrorists as parents at the school board meeting become concerned about curriculum and covid policies. jen psaki was pressed on the directive where she dodged questions. take a listen. >> the patriot act is surveilled these parents. >> i don't speak on behalf of the school board association but this government. the attorney general has put out a letter and they take actions they take.

>> reporter: fairfax county resident confronted his local school board on the issue. >> we are domestic terrorists, this resolution tonight, but - gender sexuality club in fairfax county. >> garland's son in law is cofounder of a company called panorama did which sells social justice and crt material. millions for data mining off of kids. parents got accused of domestic terrorism. the ag's war on parents not only helping teacher unions but his

own family. todd: let's go to thursday night football action. matthew stafford and la rams against the seattle seahawks 26 to 17. michael dixon steal the show. >> dixon kicks it. jillian: the first time before he kicks the ball up deep into rams territory. across the line of scrimmage. during the game. can i just say - i can get down with the lime green but not the whole lime green.

todd: finally, the browns - >> the uniform. todd: they look horrible. have you seen anything like that in your time watching football and we have our answer. jillian: you have a big game this weekend. todd: will cain and lawrence jones's cowboys. i've been avoiding lj. he is going to come at me. jillian: 13 after the hour, horrified by the crime stats for 2020. homicides alone are up 40%.

and i don't blame them to be on camera, you can't walk in front of the car that has the right-of-way but going 25 miles an hour. you vowed to push back against this anti-law enforcement agenda. >> reporter: if we don't have law enforcement officers on street and hit respond to calls for service, to the legislators and speak in favor, in our state, there have been certain things done, loves and appreciates the work law enforcement does but we need to fight back on soft on crime. because of the public sentiment in law enforcement and the revolving doors of catch and

when you have county attorneys and district attorneys that will not prosecute violent crimes that is why person like this is walking streets in utah, that is not wrong place wrong time incident, that is a microcosm of what is happening so you've got to get prosecutors the charge violent criminal with violent crimes and felonies. you cannot do the catch and release or cashless bail, you have to administer the law and anything and time law enforcement is anti-public safety, you are seeing the consequences. todd: there's an entire office, don't play public defender when you are da. we appreciate your time this morning.

then see below, from my uncle jack, is there any way we can help expedite this? what is your reaction to these newly uncovered emails? >> what do we say about hunter biden at this point? every day we learn something new, every day it is awful and no question, any deal he is making has to do with his dad, his dad was vice president and now president and the only reason he's in the position he is. honestly at this point at this point we are one development from jeffrey epstein territory. people understand what is going on and a lot of people talk about whenever the opponents or defenders of this administration

talk about his predecessor trump and his children. the difference is we knew trump and his children, we got to know them before the media was all over trump and his family before they were elected. they were elected anyway. we didn't get to know about hunter biden, we didn't get to know that until now and everything is fine. we didn't get to know that. there is a strong difference. if people had known the obvious corruption that goes on with the biden family there might have been at least some consideration of that. todd: i don't agree with you this will lead to something. i see the drip drip of hunter biden/china connections "happening now" little by little bit i am wondering either going to be any consequences, ice national security locations but mainstream media don't seem to
