arthel: two beg stories we're following this hour. here at home the damage from the powerful nor'easter left some areas underwater and others buried in snow after hurricane force winds slammed new england and beyond. hello, everyone. i'm arthel neville. welcome to "fox news live." hi, eric. eric: thanks for joining thus sunday, i'm eric shawn. we're following the tense u.s.-russia stand i don't have over ukraine ahead of the united nations security council meeting tomorrow. that meeting will not likely mean anything, because russia

has ma veto can torpedo any resolution calling on vladmir putin to pullbacks. we have live team coverage. lucas tomlinson in washington. steve care began live in kiev. amy kellogg in moscow. molly line is in plymouth massachusetts on the aftermath of that wild nor'easter. hey, molly. reporter: eric it's a cold day today here in plymouth about 20 degrees. what a wallop this storm was. several feet of snow hitting a multitude of communities across the state. in boston they tied for the single day snow record, 23.6-inches there. some one hundred thousand people were without power much of the brunt of this storm. they're working hard to get the lights back on. utility workers from all over the country trying to make that happen. still tens of thousands of people without power across massachusetts. mostly along the south shore and cape islands.

those community hit particularly hard. here is the lieutenant governor karen polito. >> many restorations have been made, thanks to the utilities. prestaging, having crews available, made the difference to turn on power where they could. reporter: those big wind gusts and the flooding hitting hard here across massachusetts. you can look at some incredible video off nantucket the island. ocean waters surging into the downtown neighbors. you're looking at easy street. thankfully the waters in the downtown area have receded on nantucket island. a few streets are still frozen. the warming center is open at nantucket high school. logan airport, a big jumbled mess. lots of cancellations and lots of delays as well at jfk and laguardia. that is something to clean up in the days ahead. a gorgeous day, a lot of

frolicking, sledding. tomorrow will be a better one as well. not too cold. we'll see a lot of the snow getting up and out of the way. thankfully a weekend storm. we have a great day to dig out. eric? eric: great day for kids to go sledding. after the whiteout. molly line in plymouth. arthel? arthel: the nor'easter leaving nearly 50,000 customers in northeastern massachusetts without power. joining me by phone is a caroline, the spokesperson forever source, new england's largest electric provider. the 48,000 customers, when will they get their power back? >> well, good afternoon. we've been working around the clock. we're looking at now having the majority of our customers back by the end of the day tomorrow. the good news we have about 1700 line and tree crews working and as molly mentioned what a difference a day makes because

it is beautiful here on the cape and sunny, crews are making good progress. arthel: as you know residents, parents, prepare for the work week and school week. you will say everyone will have power by the end of the day tomorrow which is monday, that what you're telling us? >> yes that is correct. we work closely with public safety officials and school officials to make sure schools are on if we have any schools without power. to clear tree damage and communities are safe and roads are open. arthel: you have still a lot of snow on the ground. with about the roads in terms of, it seems like monday will be a wash in terms of leaving to go anywhere? what about tuesday? >> i think we'll be in pretty good shape by tuesday. yesterday was a pretty tough day. road conditions and made travel extremely slow for the crews. today is a clear, sunny day. we'll make very good progress.

arthel: clear progress, not too many road challenges facing the crews today? >> exactly. a big part is working closely with the communities because they're the ones where we need to get to, what roads need to get to certain circuits to restore power in the trouble spots. but those high winds yesterday, we saw gusts of over 80 miles an hour, those brought down a lot of utility polls and trees on to the wires that caused a lot of havoc down here. arthel: what about getting those back up, those downed wires and clearing the roads from the downed trees? >> that's right. essentially it is like rebuilding the electric system in certain circumstances. the good news what we did was we brought a lot of crews prior to the storm hitting. we flew crews from california, canada, florida, and we gave them our trucks earlier this week. so they could be ready to go. they were on the ground yesterday working. >> that is why you're able to have everybody up and running with power by end of day

tomorrow. okay. very good to hear. we thank you for your time and your good work there. caroline prettymann from eversource. >> thank you. eric: united nations security council set to meet tomorrow on the tensions over russian troops amassed at ukraine's border potentially poised for an invasion. the meeting comes as president biden says u.s. troops could soon be on the move into eastern europe as an answer to vladmir putin's push. lucas tomlinson in washington now with more on the latest on this. reporter: that's right, eric. two days after president biden announced he is sending quote, not a lot of american troops to eastern europe nato's secretary-general reiterated today no nato forces would be deploying to ukraine. pentagon press secretary john kirby says if russia invades, sanctions will be unleashed. >> the thing about sanctions, if you trip that the deterrent effect is lost.

if he does another invasion inside of ukraine that is exactly what they will get. reporter: critics think russia should be hammered with sanctions now and only removed when troops move back to their home bases. white house announced crippling sanctions on russia's economy if russia invades. "wall street journal" reports off the table sanctions on russia natural gas exports which account for 40% of europe's gas and coal. biden's u.n. ambassador says the u.s. must remain united against russia and warned of an impending invasion. >> we've seen the russia playbook before. they're using disinformation. they're encouraging ukrainians not to worry about an attack but we know that the attack is possible. you don't amass 100,000 troops if you don't have intentions to use them. reporter: the u.n. security council meets tomorrow in new york. russia calls it quote, a clear pr stunt. as one of five permanent

members, russia enjoys veto power making it certain the body will take no action. eric? eric: it will be doa on arrival there. lucas, thank you. arthel: as russia amasses more than 100,000 troops near the border with ukraine its foreign minister is it challenging nato's claim quote being a defensive structure. amy kellogg is love in moscow with what that means. amy. reporter: hi, arthel, not only is the russian line that nato is coming too close for comfort but they also say the nature of the organization has changed since the cold war when it effectively wasn't engaged any fighting. now the russians are citing yugo slavia, afghanistan and other campaigns nato has been involved with since the collapse of the soviet union. they say for that reason they can cast nato as a threat to russia. they don't want to see ukraine in it. sergey lavrov, russia's foreign

minister said, they just want to pull this country ukraine into nato although everyone understands ukraine is not ready and could make no contribution to strengthening of nato security, unquote. now putin we assume continues to ponder his next move or when he will reveal it. one russian journalist told me today he is a special-ops man at heart and may view this as such. long-time russian policy expert prominent here since soviet times told me any cost benefit analysis strongly suggests that russia would have way too much to lose by invading ukraine again. >> the collateral damage would be of epic proportion. i think that it is in russia's interests to escalate at least this particular juncture. i don't know what president putin thinks about that but i think that he is a rational politician and therefore i believe the chances of a direct military operation in ukraine

are quite low. reporter: this as many will tell you that russians are more preoccupied with their daily lives, domestic issues, enjoying remnants of the christmas season while trying not to catch covid but that of course could change, arthel, if they start suffering casualties. arthel. arthel: amy kellogg reporting from moscow. thanks, amy. eric. eric: arthel in ukraine volunteer forces there are preparing to fight off the possible russian invasion. moscow meanwhile sending blood supplies to the border where it amassed more than 100,000 troops. that move seen as a tipoff of vladmir putin's possible plans. the russian strong man has stationed troops and weapons also in its close ally belarus. meantime the united states and the united kingdom are weighing their stake in ukraine. one of our allies that turned to the west in recent years. steve care began live in the ukraine capital of kiev with the very latest they're.

hi, steve. reporter: that's right, eric. blood supplyies and field hospitals moved up to the front lines. often seen as final elements of any potential invasion. the russian buildup is enormous and continuing not just along the border with ukraine but along the border with belarus. the buildup is public. the russians releasing video of the weapon systems that continue to arrive. the mayor of kyiv tried to give his explanation of what he thinks vladmir putin intends. >> the reason for this conflict because vladmir putin want want to reform the russian empire. to remake the russian empire. ukraine one of largest countries in europe have to be as part of his vision. reporter: ukrainian officials are continue to downplay the idea that any invasion could be imminent while at the same time they're asking the west for more

military aid. negotiations meanwhile continue. the prime minister of britain scheduled to visit the ukraine this week. he will also have a phone call with president putin. eric back to you. eric: steve harrigan live in ukraine for us. arthel: as tensions mount over russian threat to ukraine, my next guest says russian forces may be surprised if they end up challenging ukrainian defenders. retired army lieutenant-general that pitter explains coming up next. ♪. ♪♪ helping them discover their dreams is one of the best parts of being a parent. one of the most important is giving them ways to fulfill them. for over 150 years, generations have trusted the strength and stability of pacific life. because life insurance can help protect

eric: kim jong-un, he is at it again firing off more missiles. just days after north korea launched a flury of ballistic missiles kim's regime fired another missile into the sea of japan right off its east coast. that says the south korean military. this would be the seventh rocket launch just this month, more than all of the launches last year. the missile launches are seen as an effort by the north korean dictator to bolster his country's military with cutting many technology and also for him to gain an edge in negotiations with south korea and united states. those talks talks have stalled. arthel: eric, more signs of a russian invasion on the horizon. a u.s. defense official confirming to fox news that

moscow is moving medical units and blood supplies to ukraine's border where it has massed more than 130,000 troops but ukraine's president says the u.s. and uk need to cool it with alarmism over a potential attack. president zelensky trying to pull off a balancing act avoiding a panic that could hurt his economy while requesting huge sums of defense money from allies. let's bring in retired u.s. army major general dana pitard, who served in active duty 34 years. author of hunting the caliphate, the dawn of the strike cell. general, we'll zone in on zelensky in a moment but first do you think it's a done deal, russia will it invade ukraine? if yes, i want to know how forceful would the ukrainian military fight back? will they lay it down or really come at them. >> good afternoon, arthel. the chances are pretty high that

russian forces will invade at least a portion of ukraine, just based on the massing of troops, the movement of artillery, movement of logistics, as you just reported, movement of medical supplies. so there is a very high chance that russian forces could attack ukraine. remains to be seen how hard the ukrainians will fight in their own defense. i once commanded a multinational brigade in kosovo which included a russian battalion and a ukrainian unit. russian troops were tough but the ukrainian troops were fierce and disciplined. if the ukrainians fight the russians will, will have a tough fight on their hands. it is pretty easy to get into a war. it is another thing to get out of a war. so the idea that with 125,000 troops that russia could take over ukraine i think is

ridiculous. they would have limited objectives t might be kyiv, the capital or something more limited but all the country, they would need a lot more troops than that. arthel: meanwhile you have got the u.s. saying sanctions will be unleashed. nato says no nato forces will cross into ukraine if this does actually happen. is this the right response if russia invades? >> i mean it is a response. i think it is a semiweak response. if we really want to stop russia from invading ukraine, send troops to ukraine and raise the stakes for russia for attacking ukraine. it was 31 years ago, 32 years ago when president h.w. bush drew a line in the sand and said this will not stand. iraq at the time had the fourth largest army in the world attacked kuwait. this is a time for bold leadership this, is a time for putting together a coalition that can stop putin and russia from doing this. if we don't do this, china is

watching and china could possibly do the same thing with taiwan in the near future if we're not careful. arthel: i was going to ask you about that. what exactly would deter xi xinping going into taiwan and what could perhaps say oh, this may not be a bad idea, might be a tough fight for me if i do do this? >> concur. this is 21st century. you know, the idea that a big nation can just attack unilaterally being aggressive against their neighbor should not be allowed throughout the world. we need to say no to that. arthel: but if it is about boundaries of course boundaries should be protected, countries cannot overtake another country at will, however you've got the whole cyber wars. so they can do all of this covertly if you will. how do you, what do you say to that? >> sure.

the idea of cyberattacks, whole different ballgame. i think the world needs to come together on that and decide if, cyberattack is considered an act of war. we've always been real close on that one have never fully defined that but, yet you're right. that is a problem also. arthel: i'm sure. minds like yourself, brilliant minds like yours and your colleagues are working on that aspect of it as well. retired major general dana pitard. i always look forward to speaking with you. >> thank you, arthel. thank you. arthel: eric. eric: arthel, her son was murdered. she blames progressive prosecutors for going easy on one of the accused killers. next why that mob says liberal policies are killing the minority community.

>> police officers lined the streets of manhattan on friday to honor detective jason rivera, one week after he was killed in an ambush at a harlem apartment where officer rivera was responding to a domestic disturbance call and now the nypd prepares for another funeral for rivera's partner, officer wilbert mora who was also killed that night. alexis mcadams in the new york city newsroom with the latest. reporter: that's right, officer mora will be laid to rest this week but the city is still grieving both of the fallen heroes a new york actress out of a job posted a rant on line livid that the funeral for officer rivera blocked traffic. listen. >> do not need to shut down most of lower manhattan because one cop died for probably doing his job incorrectly. they kill people who are under 22 every single day for no good reason. we don't shut down the city for them.

so -- this is [bleep] liz includes. this is ridiculous.port guzman posting the rant. she deleted video but it went viral. you can see the street closures and barricades for detective jason rivera for friday in manhattan. traffic was blocked off because thousands of police officers across the country you can see there were coming in to pay their respects. rivera and his partner wilbert mora were shot and killed responding to a domestic call in harlem. pba president patrick lynch saying in part new yorkers turned out by the thousands yesterday to help husband honor our fallen brother. one person spreading hate can't erase that. that kind of garbage polluted the conversation far too long. face-to-face films, that is the company the actress used to work for, they said in a statement she is no longer a member of her company, quoted this, face-to-face films does not support or condone the comment

made about fallen officer rivera. officer mora's funeral is wednesday at st. patrick's cathedral. thousands more are expected again. arthel? arthel: alexis mcadams in our new york city newsroom. thank you. >> like a runaway train. taeting, running straight into the black and brown communities because you got repeat violent felony offenders, repeat recidivists, 47 times, 73 times arrests over and over and over and over again. when is enough is enough? eric: when is enough enough? that is madeleine brown. her son, her son was a u.s. army sergeant. he served in afghanistan but was brutally murdered in new york city. he was in harlem when he say three men and a woman pounced on him. he was stabbed to death. one of the suspects is out free on bail. madeleine notes that her bail was cut from $750,000 to only

$12,000. she blames bail reform. she and other crime victims and advocates held a rally in front of manhattan district attorney offices allyn bragg last week. they say his progressive policies give criminals a free mass and that bail reform has put criminals back on the streets. >> i am fighting back and will continue to fight back against the white liberals, anybody else want to bring these insane policies here. we have had enough in the black community. our people are getting killed and murdered due to bail reform. eric: madeleine graham joins us now. our thoughts are with you and your son. you deal with this cold-blooded murder. dealing with the criminal justice system. what has this been like? >> it has been terrible. it has been torture. i'm tortured and tormented every time i go to court to watch this

woman walk in and out of this court building a free woman while she can slaughter another human being a few months ago. eric: that woman is identified as mary sanders. she is the sister of the two of the other accused, they're brothers. we have photos of miss sanders in court. she is out on what, there she is, out on $12,000 bail. you're blaming bail reform? >> absolutely. absolutely. the day of the bail reduction hearing the judge had no choice or no does correction except for to reduce her bail to an amount that the family could afford without charging, without causing hardship. eric: what do you think of this policy? >> the family had $12,000. eric: what do you think of this policy? >> i think that it is absolute

disaster. i think it has caused more problems, more harm than it has good. i keep hearing people saying that it is supposed to help the black and brown community when it has done the exact opposite. how much more do we need to see? what is the magic number? 43 arrests, 77 arrests, 108 arrests. 103 arrests. how much more do we need to see? how many more victims need to pile up? how many more dead bodies need to pile up before someone finally has the backbone and the political appetite to finally say, this is not working, we need to fix this. eric: what do you think d.a. alvin bragg and other progressive prosecutors around the country like in philadelphia, san francisco, elsewhere, what do they need to do? >> what they need to do is

prosecute. prosecute is prosecute. he was elected in there to carry out the law, to follow the penal codes, the statutes and sentencing guidelines, not make up his own theory of what social justice is supposed to look like. eric: you know says that -- >> if he is not going to do that, if he is not going to do that then he needs to step down. he works for us. we do not work for him, all right? us taxpayers pay his salary. eric: you know what he says? that the criminal justice system isn't working that too many people are incarcerated. that there should be more diversion programs and this sort of thing. what would saw to that? >> i get it. i get it. i do believe that there needs to be criminal justice reform. i believe that there needs to be some way to stop ending mass incarceration this, is not the

way to let people out on the streets, commit more crime, to create an environment that is not safe for anyone. that is definitely not the way to do it. if you're going to do it, then put services in place before you release people, like long-term in patient drug and alcohol programs like there used to be therapeutic communities. open back up places in long island, psychiatric hospitals and ci and state, not only help the people with mental illness, it would create thousands of jobs. eric: you tweeted something else that the d.a. and others support. it is called restorative justice. let me read you a tweet about this, you tweeted quote, the manhattan's d.a. office offered me to participate in the restorative justice program for the female out on bail killing my son f agreed it would reduce her sentence down to five years, i would walk away feeling better about her killing my boy.

the audacity. they describe restorative justice victims, offenders, community getting together. the results can be transformational. what is restorative justice, what do they want you to do? >> the way the district attorney who stepped down presented me with this quote, unquote, opportunity, was that i would sit across from mary sanders and have a series of counseling sessions where she gets a chance to express her remorse to me and i get a chance to tell her how i feel about her murdering my son. and after the successful completion of these series of counseling sessions she would be guaranteed a reduced sentence on top of being out over two years on bail. okay, she would receive a reduced sentence and all me, my family, my grand children and

would get walk away feeling better about her killing my son. it is supposed to be a forgiveness type of thing. eric: your feelings about that? >> my feelings, most atrocious thing i ever heard. it may work, it may work with someone who continues to rob somebody's store. it may work for maybe, i can't even really think of what it may work for but it definitely doesn't work for murder. eric: you will be back -- >> i will get my, i will get my chance to tell those people how i feel when i give my victim impact statement at sentencing. eric: the trial -- >> i can forgive them as long as they're in prison. eric: strong words from madeleine brame. the trial begins february 7th. you will be back there with the other supporters, crime victims supporters and pro-police supporters at a rally in front of d.a. alvin bragg's office on monday, february 7th. we'll be covering that.

madeleine brame, thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you for having me, eric thank you. eric: of course. arthel: miss brame is right, sons, fathers, motherss daughters are being killed with no real consequences for the perpetrators. the highlight on the southern border highlighted in a intense and viral exchange between border patrol agents and their leadership. next the mounting frustration as a short-staffed border patrol prepares for another record breaking rise in migrant arrests their only friend? the open road. i have friends.

eric: fallout continues over the viral exchange 2010 border agents and the border patrol leadership during a town hall meeting last week. the border patrol chief got into a tense exchange with agents during a visit by department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas's visit, that in laredo, texas. the agents claim the agency leadership is releasing criminals into our country. bill melugin live on the border in la jolla, tax secs with -- texas. reporter: a couple days before the video went viral, the border agents in yuma, arizona turned their backs on secretary mayorkas. we're seeing border agents becoming outspoken when it comes to frustrations when what is happening down at border. look at video we shot here in la joya, texas, they continue

coming in the middle of the night, mostly family units, some bringing young children with them. i mentioned chilly temperatures, late january in the rgv, they were given thermal blankets n the rgv, they are still averaging over 1000 apprehensions every single day. we're used to see the family units, not to see what we witnessed this week. look at this video this was san san antonio i.c.e. bus mass releasing all single adult males in the airport, releasing them to travel wherever they want. there was an ngo waiting to see them. that is some of the women you see there. that ndo lined the men up, they brought them into the airport, the men are free to travel where they lant to go. that wasn't it. look at video in brownsville, we witnessed i.c.e. mass releasing more single adult men. some had ankle monitors on when they were released.

another ngo leading them in a line walking them to the bus terminal to release them. some hiding their faces with the folders not wanting to be on camera. during this we saw several hundred single adult men released from custody. the president of the border patrol union says this is something the american public didn't know what was happen. take a listen. >> when you look at the total number of people we're releasing, especially unaccompanied adults that is scary to any one of the border patrol and i.c.e. officers. that shows you what the administration has been doing awful long time. now it is uncovered. now the american public gets to see it. reporter: when it comes to the mass release of those single adults brand new dhs numbers show during the month of december only 59% of single adults encountered by border patrol were expelled from the country via title 42. send it back to you. eric: in a few moments we'll

have texas attorney general ken paxton here to react to the flood that continues within the lone star state can do about it. thanks. arthel? arthel: several people are in critical condition after carbon monoxide poisoning at a hotel pool near columbus, ohio. some of those hospitalized are children. charles watson is following the story from our atlanta bureau. how did this happen? reporter: arthel authorities confirmed to us this was indeed a carbon monoxide leak happening at a hampton inn motel in marysville, ohio. 30 miles northwest of columbus. they started receiving calls rolling in sat day evening what was later confirmed to be a carbon monoxide leak. a two-year-old girl was found unconscious in or near a pool. not long after that, more calls came in from the same motel with people reporting symptoms of dizziness, burning sensation in the throat and losing

consciousness. >> after an investigation by marysville fire and worthington hazmat, they determined the cause was carbon monoxide at dangerously high levels. reporter: dangerous situation indeed. officials tell us at least 13 people were hospitalized including who were transported in critical condition for possible carbon monoxide poisoning. a half dozen children are reportedly among those needing care after these folks say these folks were exposed to extremely dangerous levels. a spokesperson for the group, that hotel parent company saying in a statement quote, the hampton inn in marysville is fully cooperating with the local authorities as they investigate this incident. officials have not said exactly what caused the high carbon monoxide levels. again an investigation is underway as far as that hampton inn. we're told that it was evacuated in at least temporarily closed. at this hour it remains closed.

way to the u.s. supreme court trying to enforce. the administration is not doing that. they're letting asylum-seekers stay. they're using taxpayer dollars to bring their children and other caregivers into the country illegally. none is authorized by law. they're making this up. this is more a dictatorship than a constitutional republic. eric: it is legal to ask for asylum. there is a legal process. ask for asylum to get that adjudicated. go to judge for that to be determined but do you think this is kind of an organized process that people show up at the border, go into the system and ask for their kids to be reunited with them? >> yeah. there are particularly two things are not legal. one is claiming asylum is okay but you're not supposed to be allowed to stay in the country. you're supposed to be detained or sent back to mexico. that is what federal law requires. that is not happening. we went all the way to the supreme court. they agreed with us. the biden administration is not

following federal law as it relates to asylum-seekers. worse the asylum-seekers come in family members paid for taxpayer dollars violation of federal law. there is nothing being done right here. eric: the numbers on the border, i mean, they're basically, at near, at record levels. i mean there were one million 600,000 or so back in the early 2000s. we're seeing total complete increase. what do you think can be done about this? >> okay this, is a complete collapse of the border but it's a man-made crisis this, is purposeful. we saw this happened under obama. they perfected this creating more programs and even less border control. you see that with your clip of the border agents how frustrated they are. i was down there with 12 attorney generals from republican states so they see for themselves how bad the drug trade is, how bad the human trafficking trade is, how unreliable this whole system. it is purposeful and the only

thing we can do to fight them in court, to try to hold them accountable what we will continue to try to do. eric: eric: you talk about being purposeful. let me show you the numbers, skew to children and families as opposed in the past single adults up 77%. look at families up 927%. single children up 172% year to year from fiscal year 2021. so, mr. attorney general, you're seeing a move toward families. how do they do this? obviously this is organized. they have found a way to work the system and get loopholes to do this? >> not even loopholes. they are literally looking at federal law, the biden administration saying we don't follow federal law. if the court tells us to follow federal law we'll do a little bit. we won't listen to the court. we have a here who has gone rogue. i've never seen anything like this. the consequences are great for

the border communities. it is great for other states because you know the fentanyl trade is up significantly, 30% more drug overdoses this year directly related to what is going on the border. the fact they have spread covid around the country transporting people they don't test, they don't vaccinate. send them to all the states. it is all secret and they spread covid there are lots of people dying because of what is going on at the border. the fact that the biden administration doesn't care. actually promotes it is pretty sad. eric: you know what the democrats are saying? they're blaming republicans and blaming you. there is a democratic state representative gene wu, show you what he tweeted about republicans in your state. he said quote, texas is suing to stop children from being reunited with their families. read that again. he also tweeted every day i think to my self our state's republican leaders cannot be anymore monstrous. every day they prove me wrong. how do you respond to that type of criticism? >> i would say, gene doesn't

understand the law. i guess he want as lawless country where we don't have any laws we follow. the president doesn't have to follow laws. none of us have to follow laws. the borders are wide open for drugs. i don't know if he has been down to the border to see what cartels are doing. they're literally killing people. they gain control. they control the trafficking comes across. everybody comes across that has to pay them. i don't know that gene understands this. this is serious issue, what he is saying is we need to continue this type of crime, criminal organizations on the border. i'm fine with it. i disagree with him. eric: finally, quickly the biden administration in their defense we're dealing with the root causes. that is what the vice president is in charge of. how is that going? >> it doesn't work t doesn't make sense. she is completely ignoring the problem. she doesn't want to deal with the real problem. this idea you will go down to talk to people in honduras to fix this is ludicrous and i think the numbers will show that she's wrong since illegal immigration and drug trade, all

the bad stuff is up 300% this year. eric: wow. texas attorney general, ken paxton. mr. ag, thank you for joining us about this issue. we are following it here at fox news. we'll be right back. >> thank you. >> vo: so when my windshield broke... i found the experts at safelite autoglass. they have exclusive technology and service i can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete balanced nutrition for strength and energy. woo hoo! ensure, complete balanced nutrition with 27 vitamins and minerals. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪ ♪
