senator steve daines introducing legislation barring migrants with arrest warrants to aboard planes saying and equipment "it is simple. an illegal immigrant represents their own arrest warrant as an i.d., they should be immediately arrested and not cleared by tsa to hop on a plane to the usa." this is beyond outrageous. this is a threat to the national security and it must be stopped immediately." finally, todd and ashley as you mentioned illegal immigrants accused of killing a woman and a hit-and-run crash in november 2020 is no longer facing deportation after dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas with removal of the family of that woman will be with you with guys in the next hour. and we will see what they have to say, todd and ashley. >> todd: an absolute shame, just a tragedy. we appreciated, del rio border agency encountering 1800 migrants over the weekend

>> ashley: a couple of thoughts. i want to start with how the biden administration said, "oh, we don't know why there are migrants crossing the border." i can tell you with my words, the border is wide open. >> todd: sure. >> ashley: i don't understand what they can't get this and i want to point to this and then get to another issue. when you talk about 75 unaccompanied children. and even more research with it. there is well into 800 children. you see images of these kids being left unaccompanied at the border, but that is a human rights issue for them as well. it is obviously, you know you have to think about transparency we are not getting in the united states as taxpayers. but you see all of these people flooding across the border and justice griff said more than 50 different countries. i said yesterday, migrants coming from ukraine and russia and that in itself is concerning with everything, the multitude of things we are dealing with on top of that you read about when

you talk about the migrants and the lack of transparency and you seem to that video of the westchester airport, that to me is so concerning peer there is zero transparency, todd, when it comes to this because when you see the body cameras video, those officers don't even know what's going on, and they get frustrated because they are not in the know of what is happening. where are these people going? where are they taking them? and why is the biden administration being so hush-hush about it? >> todd: because i know what they are doing is wrong. when ebony don't like anybody ask a question they are -- the press conference with the governors as about to take quess and then not so fast, take a lo. >> when i stopped taking questions, then tell me i'm supposed to call on governor cox first. >> okay. thank you guys.

thank you, guys, thank you. thank you. thank you, guys. >> todd: i mean so much bad you can take away from that one, where is the coordination? we are not setting up missile launch. questions with the media and the president and the media step should be on the same page. the bigger issue is transparency. why won't they answer questions about these flights? why did these flights have to be in the middle of the night where nobody knew anything about what was going on? also from that presser, the biden administration said we need to figure it out. to your point, actually there is nothing to figure out. migrants are pouring in because of you joe biden that bordered governing -- and not only are you letting them in but once i commit crimes, you are not deporting them. we will have more but that spirit more family of that young lady killed. ashley come away are they doing this? this is a question i come back here or there is only one reason because no rational person would do this other than to support

mandates, talking about the vaccine for really young kids. when is the cdc going to step in and take responsibility for this? because this is affecting their mental health. there is a mental health crisis. when are they going to step in and say enough is enough and who is it going to take to help these kids because somebody has to help these kids question rick >> that is exactly right. we hear from parents every day and i have three kids and enough is enough but steve scalise and i put in the litter requesting the scientific basis for the decision to continue with the mask mandates. we haven't seen anything out there. we hear from speech pathologist and different teachers that are trying to work with children that have mental and developmental disabilities. it is only getting worse. i wear hearing aids. the masks are terrible for people wearing hearing aids. there are so many problems with hearing and trying to develop speech. and just with the mental

capacity as a whole. so what we are asking for is a scientific basis for it. we don't believe the cdc, obviously has factored in mental issues, developmental issues in the decision-making. so, it looks to me whoever made these decisions with the cdc either don't have children or don't have children and the public schools. this has affected a whole generation, enough is enough and they cannot develop the science they have to reverse the situation. >> todd: a lot of people have pointed out to the administration, yet despite the repeated warnings, the administration doesn't care about what they are rules are doing to our kids. that is frustrating. keep us posted where your letter goes. i want to get your thoughts on this joe biden and congress tearing down a daunting month as russian ukraine conflict potentially escalates. the supreme court picked up in last week and of course, china bill looming. it is joe biden capable of handling all of this?

>> well, we haven't seen any evidence so far that would say he is. we are trying to figure out who the decision-makers are. if you look at the crisis in ukraine, joe biden has been all over the board on this. he had a press conference where he supposedly misspoke. a hands-off approach and now a hands-on approach with respect to build up. we don't know when congress where they are going with it. we heard pelosi wants to bring a bill to foreign aid. i can promise you republicans very few will support foreign aid for any country right now with all of the crises looming. we want to focus on the southern border first. we recognize that there is a huge problem with russia and ukraine. we feel if russia invades ukraine, that will give china a lot of potential to go in and invade taiwan. and then it will probably put pressure on iran to go and behave badly. so we recognize that, but we

will not continue to waste money. we have a crisis on the southern border. that should be the number one priority for the biden administration. >> ashley: makes you wonder if distinguish package locked and ready to go if this happens with ukrainian and russian border. okay, james comer, thank you for being with us this morning. appreciate it. >> thanks, ashley. >> ashley: tens of thousands of truck drivers defending freedom on the canadian border but justin trudeau said that is not the movement he supports. >> i have attended protests and rallies in the past when i agreed with the goals. black lives matter is an excellent example of that. >> todd: that is quite a statement. driver spend four decades behind the wheel responding to the prime minister next. ♪ ♪
