9:09 am
migrants make their way acros rio grande river and piedras negras. it's been over a million this year and we still have the busiest summer months ahead. dhs secretary alejandro may joshingas insists the border patrol is in a position good to handle what could be as many as 18,000 new migrants crossing illegally a day once title 42 ends in a few weeks. >> thousands of agents and more are coming and in fact, not only are more coming now but we have requested that more come in the future. bryan: 600 additional personnel have arrived at the border but
9:10 am
are overwhelmed. all paid for by texas costing more than $4 billion so far. we visited piedras negras, officials say migrants flock there because it's the most secure city on the mexican border but the state of coahiila is not reporting mexican support from the government. democratic mayor pro tempore says yolanda ramon is chaos. >> somebody needs to wake up over there in washington, smell the coffee and get over here. i don't want to think about this summer what would be for eagle pass and piedras negras if this continues. >> you're looking live at fox news drone, border source tells fox news the situation in the last few days has been, quote,
9:11 am
eerly quiet and under title 42 the covid-19 public health order that allowed agents to expel mostly mexican nationals and some central americans almost immediately, cubans and venezuelans are able to be released. documents on the ground for two cuban citizens who had mexican credentials but the last thing they want to do is have any association to mexico when they arrive here because of fear of title 42, alicia. >> bryan llenas, thank you. eric. eric: florida republican congressman maria salazar, welcome, washington has been dealing for decades and unable to curve this. in the regular administration 1986 high number, president
9:12 am
clinton, 2000 highest record. why can't congress come up with the plan that works that protect it is country and finally ends this chaos? >> thank you very much, i love your question and i love that quote from the mayor of piedras negras, washington has to wake up, indeed, we have to take up and that's why yours truly maria salazar from florida number 27 created and presented to congress the dignity act which is an immigration reform law. it's a complete immigration reform law because the first thing that we need, the first thing that we need to do is seal the border with the best technology, levies, drones, people, cameras, anything that you can find, the technology out there has it and then after that, you take care of those who are here but first of all we have to stop gaming the system specifically the asylum system and i want to share with you, eric, for the hispanic
9:13 am
community, more than 20% of the population, the largest minority in the country, this is very bad news because it's giving us a very bad reputation to the hispanic, the latinos, the browns, we do not want open borders. we want to come in legally and we want to come in the right way. eric: what is your legislation about, why is it different than what's been proposed in the past and why do you think it's going to work? >> thank you for your question. i believe that this has the strongest border security measures that has ever been presented to -- to congress. we put this together in february and what we want to do is give dignity those coming in, those who came in -- have been here for more than 5 years, what we are going to do with the influx of immigrants that are coming in the recent days, you just reported that. we've had 1 million immigrants in the last 18 months and without title 42, we are going
9:14 am
to have another million. and that is very bad for this country and for our community. the fentanyl, the child sex traffickers, the coyotes, the terrorists and those bad people that have no business in the united states but the problem, eric, is that the biden administration doesn't have a plan. so something that's extremely complicated, i'm not saying it's only the biden administration but someone has to come in like you said, congress has to say, okay, enough is enough, this is what we are going to do, we are going to reform our asylum system, we are not going to let these people come in. we are going to end catch and release. we are going to seal the border and then we are going the take care of those who are here contributing to the economy and who have been here for years like the daca, the dreamers, the tps, all those people that now have been put in the back burner by the democrats because, remember, that the democrats have been talking at least during the biden -- during the trump administration madame speaker nancy pelosi, she was
9:15 am
very concerned about the dreamers and the daca kids, do you remember that? well, i don't hear her talking about them anymore? why, because the dems don't have a plan. eric: you talk about the democrats, let me interrupt you for a minute. the administration has 56% of the people who come in are expelled and today on fox news sunday secretary mayorkas said agrees with you and he said there needs to be legislation. but you know who you have to get by, you got to get by the progressive democrats in order to achieve what you want and they say what you are doing is racist, let's take a look at that. >> the application of title 42 by the trump administration was a cruel, racist and counterproductive use of health policy to circumvent immigration law. uncomfortable policy was in effect for too long. it did nothing to inflict unspeakable harm on migrants
9:16 am
particularly black and brown migrants denying millions their fundamental right to seek asylum. eric: congresswoman what's your answer to what you're doing is racist and wrong? >> and i'm a trader. i'm representing one of the largest browns communities in the country, 75% of my constituents are hispanics, latinos, browns, we know what this country needs and my community needs. she's not representing us but the problem with the progressives, the liberals, what i call them, the neo marxists within the democratic party is that they are not serving our interest, they t interest of the hispanic community is to have an orderly border give some type of dignity to those dreamers, dacas, tps, everything that the dems were talking about before, but the problem here is to go deeper in to your question that unfortunately the neo marxists are surrounding the biden administration specifically the
9:17 am
president whom i have to believe that he has good intentions. it's just that the way he's being advised, it's extremely -- it's completely detrimental to the benefits and to the interest of the united states including the hispanic community. that's why i go back to let's get serious, let's pass an immigration -- complete immigration reform that includes the asylum system, that includes sealing the border and taking care of those who have been here, have not committed a crime, have american children, they are contributing to the economy, and they are paying taxes and they want to be part of the promise land, i'm not talking about path to citizenship, i'm talking about contributing within the promise land as they are right now. eric: we will be following your legislation because something has to be done as we know. republican florida congresswoman maria sal asas, thank you for your time. we will get back to you and see how your legislation proceeds. >> thank you very much for that opportunity. eric: of course. >> eric disney is not losing privilege status in florida
9:18 am
9:19 am
9:20 am
9:22 am
alicia: the improvement district is the governing jurisdiction that overseas disney's massive property in central florida. it essentially has full government control over everything that happens on the land but governor desantis says no more special treatment for disney. >> it just simply ends with them being treated the same as every other company in florida. they are going to follow laws and they are not going to have their own government and they will pay their debts, pay their taxes. alicia: let's bring in florida commissioner nicky freed. first of all, i want to get your position on this, where do you stand on the battle between the governor and disney? >> here is the problem, this governor went out of his way to actually have a bench on a company that was not in the same light as his positioning and what this is going to do now is have a direct impact on the
9:23 am
people that live in this community. they are going to have a direct impact on the amount of taxes they pay, the type of services that they get provided. we even see reports last week that there was conversation about lowering our bonding authority for aaa rating. that will have a drastic impact on the people of our state and how government works and it shows that we have potential instability of our economy. so this was dope as a knee-jerk reaction to teach disney a stay in your place otherwise we are going to come and harm you and the fact of the matter the people that are going to get harmed in this are people on the ground and those living in the community. alicia: as the governor said, to his point, the company believers has overplayed its hand in the power that it has and so he wants to rein some of that in, take a listen to what he had to say. >> i'm comfortable having one company having own government
9:24 am
and the company has pledge today attacking the parents in the state and has high-up people talking about inducting pan sexualism in the programming for young kids, it's wrong, walt disney would not want that so get that to the mission, that's why people love the company and you lost your way. maybe that will be the wake-up call that they need to get back on track. alicia: commissioner, do you believe disney could have possibly overplayed its hand here, that maybe it should just stick to what it does best? >> look, the ironic part of all of this that disney has had special district since 1967. there's never been a conversation until this moment to change the way that it works. and if this was truly an opportunity to look back and see whether or not disney had too much power, too much control, too much authority, then have that conversation, go through, do a full analysis of impact of
9:25 am
the state and what this can do for our bond rating and the economy and for the individuals living there. that's not what happened. what happened was the company regardless who it is, this is not isolate today just disney that if you dare cross this governor there's revenge to be paid. that's the problem that i have. this wasn't done in an actual analysis, this doesn't done in prudent manner and done for sole purposes to take revenge for those who speak up on agenda. alicia: let's move on to the economy in florida because cbs news is reporting that it has now become the least affordable place to live in the country. take a listen. >> the demand for florida is more intense in the history of our state, that's just the
9:26 am
reality because i think people realize who your governor is and state government policy has more impact on the daily life than who the president of the united states is. alicia: little data for you from realtor.com in february designated miami as the one the least affordable places to liver, average month $2,930. we are in san francisco, los angeles territory. if you were the governor, how would you approach this issue? >> first of all, ron desantis has made florida california and new york under his policies. and affordability is number 1 issue that i hear on the ground. day one of my administration i declare state of emergency on housing because that's what's happening in our state. hearing the rent increases by 30, 40, 50, 60%, that's not inflation. and on top of that, we have been gutting our affordable trust fund including this governor which would equate about
9:27 am
$2.3 billion that should have been used to build more homes in our state. so there was no planning on this and so no opportunities to build no homes and in chances for people to actually get rent under control and now we have an affordability issue. but instead of tackling those issues that are actually impacting people's lives every single day, he's getting into a fight with disney, he's having special sessions on congressional maps on focusing on the issue -- >> alicia: i hate to interrupt, we are up against a hard break, we will continue to follow the race, we thank you for your time today. >> thank you. alicia: eric. eric: the biden administration fighting back against two controversies, surprise in the gdp this week and growing controversy over the homeland security department over disinformation governance board. david spunt on we can expect on the president's agenda this week. david: president biden on way to
9:28 am
memorial. the president will be in attendance today but on the front here at home at the white house the president dealing with a lot of issues from the economy, from things costing more at the grocery store, from prices rising at the pump all the way to the border, that's an issue that continues to plague the president, speaking of the border, the department of homeland security knee-deep in the border crisis also responding to this critics with new disinformation board. this is a disinformation governance board just announced over the past few weeks, aimed at stopping disinformation, ministry of truth. the executive director criticized for down playing hunter biden story in 2020.
9:29 am
the president's son under federal investigation though not been charged with any crime his former laptop is in fbi custody. here is secretary alejandro mayorkas this morning. >> do you think that jenkawoitzs is particular for this job? >> yes, highly regard it as subject matter expert and i don't question her objectivity. there are people in the department who have a diverse range of views and they are incredibly dedicated to mission. we are not the opinion police. she has testified before congress a number of times. she's recognized as a tremendous authority and we are very fortunate to have her. david: jenkawitz delivered statement i would consider working for any information for solid represent for truth whether conservative or liberal. i was motivated to make impact
9:30 am
and strengthen our democracy just like all of my work on disinformation in the past six years have been, i just want to be able to do the work. on tuesday in just a few days the president will follow to alabama to visit lockheed martin that makes javelins and antitank missiles, the antitank systems that we been providing to the ukrainians. eric: we will take you to ukraine in just a moment, david spunt on the north lawn of the white house, thank you. coming up next what people are going through in their country.

9:35 am
humanitarian operation has started, first 50 women and children we are told have been freed. the plant repeatedly bombed by the russians cause what had the mariupol mayor calls conditions worst than hell. we will now take you underground to show you what they have been going through. fox news has obtained this compelling footage. look at this. citizens have been hiding out in these basement rooms in the underground bunkers under the plant since the war has started in february. imagine, hiding out for two months under ground not being able to go outside as the russians bomb you, about a thousand civilians, 2,000 ukrainian fighters set to be living in the soviet-era plant. the video showed the family in conditions, 600 or so people to be injured and unknown member to be killed an supplies are running out and the bunkers built during cold war to protect plant workers from a nuclear attack. the plant begging the world for

9:37 am
us, former vice chief of the u.s. army retired four-star general, chairman of the institute for of war. general, if there's evil side of putin it is this. can these people be rescued and what's going to happen if the russians get their hands on the 1,000 fighters in the plant? it solely depends on the russians. obviously no ukrainians being able to get in there because the russians are surrounding it. as we have been made painfully aware russians do make war on innocent people. that's a military objective they have assigned to their commanders and it's absolutely outrageous. there's probably hundreds of civilians dead in the very vicinity where these films are being taken and can you imagine the trauma, eric, that they have gone through for two months with continuous bombing and some of the bombing certainly in the last number of weeks has been literally focused on them not just indiscriminate bombing of
9:38 am
the city at large but literally focused on them with deep penetration bombs that the russians are using. the impact psychological and emotional impact on doing something and going through that is absolutely devastating for someone who is fortunate enough to be able to get out of there. and certainly the soldiers i doubt seriously whether they are going to get out. the russians if they attempted to get out will kill them. that's just the way it is. and i think there's a huge tragedy, eric, in mariupol that we are being denied access to because the russians are occupying the city, but we have seen from some satellite photos that people have tried to estimate the scale of those satellite photos showing mass graves and what the potential are inside those mass graves. they are in the thousands. we may see carnage here and genocide on a scale that is in the tens of thousands eventually when people of ukraine and the
9:39 am
military at some point will regain access to mariupol and believe me at some point that will happen, the people of ukraine will resist the occupation of mariupol and at some point they will reorganize themselves to fight back and take it back and they will fight for as long as it takes to take it back. eric: they have been so inspiring with bravery and courage to face russians and putin. do you think putin and stooges will face any justice? the mayor of mariupol says that vladimir putin in two months has killed more citizens of his city than hitler did, about 10,000. should putin be treated like hitter and how will he end up? do you think he will ever get justice for the crimes against humanity? >> i doubt it justice in the sense of a courtroom and a
9:40 am
sentence. i doubt that seriously ahead and isolate himself like that. in terms of world condemnation certainly isolation. this is an old unfolding trauma that the world has got to come to grips with and there's no going back to having relations with putin. this is an absurdity that he's been invited to the g20 that indonesia is inviting them as if everything is normal. there is no meetings that we should be attending with putin to give him any sense of legitimacy whatsoever except the meet that is will take place between the ukrainians and the russians if and when that gets started up again. eric: do you think president biden should go to indonesia? >> no, absolutely not go. there is nothing going on at the g20 that would justify in my mind his giving that kind of
9:41 am
legitimacy to this poria on the world stage that putin has become. there's no going back to any kind of normal relationship with putin post ukrainian war given what he has done. the world has got to understand that and certainly the europeans and nato and the eu and the united states absolutely understand it. eric: general jack keane sounding of human rights, decency and condemnation of vladimir putin, general, good to see you, thank you. >> great talking to you, eric. alicia: truth or consequences growing calls for scrutiny for the governance board. analysis when we return. ♪ ♪ ♪

constitutional scholars and others with concerns of the governance board. let's bring former senior adviser to ohio governor john kasich and managing director at merker, llc. first i want viewers to listen to jen psaki. >> primary mission to discover best practices and to respond to misinformation done in a way that protects civil liberties. this is also work that's helping to address unauthorized terrorism, other threats and see howdies information, misinformation is being pushed to lead, to increase those. alicia: jay, your thoughts on this? >> this is one of the most blatant overreaches by the biden administration. look, they can't get a lot right over there and we have seen that
9:47 am
over the last couple of but this is something so sinister and something that all conservatives and all defenders of the free speech need to be up in arms about. this is in the a partisan issue. you should not this kind of board, republican administration or any independent administration, this is totally un-american. who is the biden administration to say that they are the arbiters of the truth? alicia: there's been a lot of blowback especially from members in congress. >> the first amendment to our constitution states that congress shall pass no law breaching the freedom of speech. he has no authority to do this. alicia: jay, what do you think, is this something that congress can address, do they have tools that they can employ in this? >> i hope congress brings the
9:48 am
administration before them in hearings. i hope that there's many hearings. i hope reporters question this too. look, this is the same administration, the cdc, for example, they have spread misinformation during the covid pandemic, what is yesterday's misinformation is today's truth. we see it time and time again. right now we have to say we trust you biden administration, no, absolutely not. they do not have the authority and congress must take it back and hold them accountable. alicia: secretary mayorkas this morning on fox news sunday told bret baier that there's no question that dhs could have done a better job in communicating that and just from the response that we have seen that's abundantly clear, however, is there a point about disinformation out there that needs to be addressed in a way even if it is from the administration? >> look, disinformation is always going to be a problem and something that needs to be addressed but it's not the government's role to tell us what is true. look, they've appointed this money nina jenkowitz.
9:49 am
this is the person that is been clearly biased against conservative thought. one of the things that they said today in defense of nina jenkowitz that she testified before congress before. you know who else testified before congress, elmo from sesame street, does elmo have any bearing, any stand running an organization like this, i don't think so. the administration is reaching and they are trying to sneak this in under the cover of night and i'm glad conservatives are yelling about this. alicia: i have about 30 seconds left. republican senator rick scott says he will be asking senator -- secretary mayorkas next week about this, get some answers. what do you think the american people need to hear about this board? >> well, first of all, the administration hasn't actually said what this is and one of the things that they are trying to claim is that it's there to protect minority communities, isn't that what they always say
9:50 am
nowadays. let's get to the bottom of why they are doing this. at the end of the day, conservative, defenders of free speech need to stand up and say enough, kill this thing in the cradle. alicia: we appreciate your time. >> thanks, alicia. eric: fox nation streaming service where there are two special shows on it right now, first what it's like to be in the mafia, you will hear from him, my exclusive interview on our show, mob mentality and -- mentality sammy the bull, i hope he's not watching and jimmy hoffa investigation, the fifth episode of riddle also on fox nation, catch up before the fbi expected dig in new jersey, that's right, the fbi could soon be digging for the remains of jimmy hoffa. if you have watched the show, you will know all about it. we will be right back.
