>> u.s. capitol police arrest seven staffers from the late show with stephen colbert, charging them with illegal entry into the lonworth house office building on capitol hill. that's part of the big capitol complex. the group allegedly wandering around the halls for hours unescorted on thursday. welcome to fox news live. i'm aishah hasnie in new york. griff: i'm griff jenkins. this included robert smigle,

you remember him the voice of triumph the insult dog. and joining us now, chad, the story just breaking last night. what can you tell us this morning? >> hey, it's a strange story, griff. people are not supposed to be inside the capitol complex unescorted after hours, but that's exactly what happened with this production team from the late show. now, the seven went through official channels to get credential toss cover the 1-6 committee hearings, but denied because they're not members of the press corps. they were shooed away by capitol police. later in the day they kim came back later thursday night. >> the credential media had them escorted out the first time yesterday. and they came back and it's my understanding they were offered a way back into the house office building by a staffer

who worked for the other member of congress and then they were actually seen, they were actually seen banging on the doors of people like kevin mccarthy's office, jim jordan's office. >> fox has told the production team was let back into the lonworth house office building by an aid to jake aichenclos. >> barry loudermilk of georgia gave a tour to a group in 2021 and that one of the tourists was later caught threatening democrats like nancy pelosi for the riot. that man was never charged. >> i'm hearing the story they were let back in later. why were they let back in

later? >> well, you know, congress the word means coming together here. so people have a right to access their government. congress is all about seeing people, you have a right to access the capitol complex. you're allowed to be there if you have an appointment with a member or an aide and they let you know, but you cannot be without an escort. now, they did interviews earlier in the day with them and they let them in because they thought they had other interviews to do. griff: do we know who the aide is, by the way? >> i have not been told officially. been given information from a source here, but we don't know officially. nobody has said significant about this and we don't have a statement from aichenclos. griff: why were they credentialed for the hearing? >> they did go through official

channels. this is a hard press pass that i have and other press have to cover the capitol, i've had a pass like this for almost three decades. the house tv gallery were on this from the colbert team. and they were rejected because they do not perform a news function, they are entertainment. and they were denied the 1-6, and you need a pass to be in. they saw them from colbert around the room and chased them away and caught them at 8:30 at night. griff: chad covering this for us. thank you very much. >> quite the irony in all of that. so the busy summer travel is here and the heat isn't the only thing causing americans to sweat. unfortunately, inflation, gas prices, they keep on rising

prompting increased scrutiny for the biden administration. our lucas tomlinson is live outside the white house with the latest on the economic concerns for all of us, lucas. >> good afternoon. some more irony for you, earlier today, president biden was out for a bicycle ride in his home in rehoboth beach and he fell off and quickly got up and joked with locals. and some think that the economy will not recover as quickly. >> i'm using every lever available to me to bring down prices for the american people and these actions are part of our transition, to clean and secure long-term energy future. and the good news is, the climate security go hand in hand. >> as the price of gasoline skyrocketed across the country, biden's poll numbers plummeted sunk, and nearly half of the americans disapproving of his job performance.

according to the suffolk poll, nearly three quarters of the country think the u.s. is on the wrong track right now. nearly half of democrats think the country is on the wrong track. you recall that the new york times reporting an increasing number of democrats think that biden is an anchor that should be cut loose and shouldn't run in 2024 with gas prices spiking and a trip to saudi arabia and he responded them. >> i contacted them, my team has, to ask what their plans are and any suggestion that is they have. they have over 9,000 leases. 9,000, they can drill so that-- that won't happen, but they're not doing it. >> according to the oil and gas journal last month in the month of may, u.s. oil production 20 million barrels per day, within 3% of the all-time high, before

the pandemic and oil is operating about max capacity. >> and lucas tomlinson at the white house for us. >> and we're joined by republican congressman from texas, a member of the house financial services committee, lance gooden, congressman, thanks for joining us on your saturday. nice to see you. i want to first start off with the fresh fox polls. let's bring in this one in particular about the financial situation that americans are finding themselves in. and it really paints a dire picture that we're in right now. 47% of americans that were polled mere say they are falling behind, congressman, that's quite a ways away from the 27% back a year ago when by the way we were still coming out of the pandemic. last week i talked with a man in nevada, a father of two who told me that he is thinking about walking to work now, in 109 degree weather out in las

vegas, because he cannot afford gas. many people are finding themselves in this situation. this is not the american dream. people have jobs, but this is not the american dream. where do you see it going from here? when does it get better? >> well, unfortunately, i worry that it won't get better for quite some time. hopefully long before house republicans and hopefully senate take control in january, but the biden administration is continuing to pour expensive gasoline on the fire and they refuse to acknowledge it's their fault, they're blaming russia, they're asking oil companies, and asking for capacity and asking the government it get out of the way and release the full potential of the energy industry which president trump did before he left office. between now and when republicans take over, i worry that things will get worse. my constituents are feeling the pinch, it's a tough one. single moms are feeling very

much an increase the grocery stores and gas pumps and senior citizens of struggling and this president is pointing fingers at everyone, but himself. we need the president to step up, accept responsibility and change course. jacqui:. >> let's talk about inflation and that's getting worst as well. and rising by three quarters of a point from the fed and some economists say this is going to get us into recession pretty fast. the administration says it's not inevitable. do you think it's inevitable? >> i don't know, i don't trust anything that this administration says. i have some faith in jerome powell, he knows he's got to get the president out of this mess even if it's not his fault. one of the problems the excessive spending that democrats were pushing. you recall back in march when build back better seemed to

have a chance when the american rescue plan was passed. republicans like myself were criticized and mocked and called heartless and we've been vindicated. all the money poured into the economy proven disastrous, and admitting that build back better should never be considered. we on the republican side is saying all this have unspent money i believe there's 500 billion or so from the march package, it needs to be parred back and stop pumping dollars into the economy and we need to get inflation under control. >> let's get the latest on the fks news polls. president biden's approval rating continues to sink, 57% view him negatively. it's worse and worse and worse, and one of the criticisms this administration continues to take, particularly the president, congressman, they're

not taking responsibility. yes, things are bad, and some things might be out of his hands, but to not take responsibility and to continue to blame things on whether it's putin or whether it's, we're still coming out of covid or the supply chain crisis anything and everything except for what the administration is doing. what's your reaction to these polls? >> i think that the gas prices are going to be a killer for him between now and the midterm election ins a few months. there you few things to help him and democrats keep congress. i can't imagine them doing it. i can't imagine them admitting they shouldn't have approved all of this spending, and build back better and unleash the full potential of the energy industry. until then a crash for the democrats in december. and this poll, this

administration doesn't take responsibility. i think that would be a great first step for the biden administration to say what we're doing is wrong, let's change course. >> congressman, quickly, you work all the time at the capitol. i have to get your reaction to this story that just broke in the last day, stephen colbert show staffers, that were arrested for wandering in the capitol hallways without an escort, without credentials. someone let them in. some congressionalal aide let them in and sort of ditched them and let them have their way with the capitol. your reaction to that? i mean, especially on a day where we're talking about the january 6th hearings. do you not find this all ironic? >> very ironic and also anxious to hear more of the story. i've only read and seen what i've seen on the news, but in my experience, if someone seems harmless the capitol police have ask them to leave. i'm curious what led them to actually be arrested.

>> what actually happened. >> i suspect more in the coming days. >> we sure will. thank you for joining us on a saturday. >> thank you. >> we always appreciate it, thank you. >> you too, take care. griff: we had the senator from massachusetts, but he had to cancel last night. and one of his aides was involved in the colbert team being arrested in the building. and shannon bream will interview brian deese and then an exclusive interview with the republican senate judiciary committee mike lee. check your local listing for time and channel. and howard kurtz taking a deep dive into the committee hearings, that's tomorrow at 11 a.m. eastern, stay tuned. >> well, consumers are getting

less at the grocery store and major manufacturers are hoping they won't notice. it's a tactic known as shrink-flation. david lee miller has more on this. >> it's all about perceived value and it's what people will pay attention to is the price for an item. >> as inflation rates continue to rise, consumers in the u.s. are feeling the effects in their wallet with their dollars getting them less on everyday household items. the practice is often referred to as shrink-flation and often used by companies to create a stealthy price hike. >> it's a way for consumers not to feel like they're paying more at the grocery store. >> shrink-flation, i frankly noticed it when i was a kid and my mounds candy bar was no longer two ounces. >> the former attorney general of massachusetts and the watch dog website.

and he's been looking at shrink-flation, and comparing net weight of various items last year and since inflation 8.5% in 2022. a 14.5 box honey bunches of oats, $4 in 2021 and the same price only get shoppers a 12 ounce box. 75 fluid ounces in a standard size arm and hammer. and kleenex went down to 60. >> when i ask why why are you downsizing? >> well, the raw materials have gone up and more to get to the stores bias of high gasoline prices. the best answer i got from one. we wanted to keep the item at a familiar price. >> producers have a decision to make and you've got to either protect profit margins

vis-a-vis passing on to the consumer, repackaging can do that, sticker shocks versus taking prices higher. >> shrink-flation is here to stay at least until the inflation rates drop. >> this didn't happen overnight, and it's not going to happen overnight either. >> we've asked and we've not heard back. some shoppers consider is deceptive for companies to keep prices stable and shrink product size. it's not illegal as long as the item is correctly labeled. david lee miller, fox news. griff: customs and border protection looking at the number of people arrested on the fbi terror data base at our southern border. details are coming up. ion is e complete balanced nutrition for strength and energy. woo hoo!

>> you are lack looking live high above our southern border, the port of entry and the border crisis ground zero in the rgv. 1,149 apprehensions with 119 got away.

that means that just as we look here from the sky, the border patrol saw the crossers illegally coming and then they could not bring them into apprehension. just this past week, multiple criminal migrants, one from el salvador with a conviction for sexual offense was a child from louisiana, also, migrants criminally accused of sexual offense froms south carolina and virginia along with a handful of ms-13 members and i could go on and talk about it for literally hours. fortunately, we have bill melugin on the ground there. >> there were 50,000 known got-aways at the border, that's a concern because the numbers of people on the terror watch list showing up at the border are exploding. brand new data out from cvp

showing the number of border patrol arrests of people on the terrorist screening data base of known or suspected terrorists. take a look at fiscal 2022 right now, 50 arrests on terror watch list, there are four months left in the fiscal year and compared to the prior five years before that only 26. partially through fiscal year 2022 we've almost doubled the previous five years combined with these arrests. and tom homan says the bad actors know that the border is open and now is the time to come. >> this president has created a border crisis, an immigration crisis. when you do that, that caused 70% of the border patrol off the line, 70%, that's when the drugs flow through to fill 100,000 americans and that's when the terrorists come

across. >> as you look at the video out of the yuma sectors, and the may numbers dropped this week, more than 239,000 illegal crossings in the month of may. that's now the highest number in dhs history, setting the new record for the third month in a row and it's also the third month in a row there were more than 200,000 illegal crossings here at our southern border and take a look at bigger picture since october. more than 1.5 million illegal crossings here at our southern border. to put that in perspective, that's bigger than the population of boston and seattle combined together. texas governor greg abbott as we are in the rio grande valley getting with the national guard to get an update on the situation here and he blasted president biden saying it's his job to secure the border and he is absolutely failing at that job. take a listen. >> this is the president's job,

national security. and our national security is at risk because of all of these terrorists who are on the watch list who may have come across the border. the president of the united states is failing in his most fundamental duties and that's to keep our nation safe. >> and griff, as you know, got-aways are a major concern down here at the southern border. and telling me that there have been more than 440,000 known got-aways as you mentioned seen on cameras or sensors and they can't get to and that does not account for the migrants they have never seen. there are unknown got-aways. griff: bill, you're doing a great job down there and i've spent time with the same folks and you brought up that one and a half million so far, 1.7 million was last year's record.

we're now less than 200,000 away from having the biggest year in history with four months ago and i worry about the men and women in border patrol and texas dps because that's an unbelievable burden to carry. how are they doing? how is the morale? how is the situation on the ground? >> well, griff, as you know, morale has been at rock bottom and sinking lower from reports we're getting from dhs sources they're planning to discipline the horseback border patrol agents from del rio last summer. they've been cleared of wrongdoing. and now they're going to announce administrative violations against the horseback agents and discipline them. the border patrol agents are furious about that and they feel the president and prominent politicians convicted those men with the false whipping before there was an

investigation. to answer your question, morale has never been lower and it doesn't look like light on the horizon for them. no policy changes and numbers are going up month after month after month. thank you, bill live from hidalgo. griff: we'll have an interview with the mayor of yuma, arizona. you heard bill talk about the situation there, and what he ises' doing with the heavy flow of immigrants in his city as well. aishah: as russia's war with ukraine goes on we'll speak with a chief negotiator coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪i'm so defensive,♪ ♪i got bongos thumping in my chest♪ ♪and something tells me they don't beat me♪ ♪ ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ring from me.♪

the troops, the first since it started 115 days ago. and nate has the latest from lviv. >> it's a successful week for president zelenskyy with high profile meetings and then the visit to the front lines that you mentioned, a lot of people back home in the states are wondering about the three missing american veterans in ukraine. taken by russian soldiers, including the two most recent just last week. alexander drueke and candy andy hun, and they're working with ukrainian authorities and they're in contact with the veteran's families who are begging the-wide administration

to please get them home safely. the third missing vet is brady who retired after a 20-year career. i mentioned a positive week for ukraine in its bid to join the european commission. and that they be given the status to join the eu. all 21 member states would meet thursday and friday for a vote and unanimously vote ukraine in to be given the status. on the same week that zelenskyy gained more aid on the balancedfield. >> and the week as very much beneficial to ukraine on many fronts and also like to thank u.s. president joe biden today for the assistance that's growing stronger every week and this week, we have notable results on the front line, thanks to u.s. assistance. >> aishah, that front line is

in the luhansk region of the donbas, the final large city in the region that has not been taken by the russians. and that russia is deploying more resources there, and controlling 80%. ukrainians are holed up there with more from the west. meanwhile, vladimir putin is not deterred. he seems emboldened speaking in st. petersburg and said so far western sanctions have failed and that russia will finish what it called the special military operation. we'll send it back to you. aishah: nate, i know you've been out and about in lviv and while lviv is further to the west from where much of the fighting is going on, give us a sense of the morale of the ukrainian people in and around the lviv area. how are they feeling about this war? it's been a very, very long

time now. >> it's unbelievable the strength that these people are showing, aishah. the world bank is estimating to the economy in ukraine is going to shrink by 45%. here in lviv it's much better than that, but that gives you sort of another layer to the depth of suffering that these people are going through. but we're seeing air raid sirens or hearing air raid sirens go off every other day, it's not consistent, but the toll of this war is definitely felt in this country, but these people, it's sad they honestly don't flinch when the air raid sirens go off. you see them, we're seeking shelter and they're continuing doing whatever they were doing walking down the sidewalk, exercising, shopping, it seems as if it's honestly become normal for them this long into the war. aishah: well, we are going to continue to pray for their safety and yours as well, nate foy, live from lviv.

griff: thank you. it's about 115 days since russia first began its war on ukraine as they repelled russian invaders on battle grounds and the u.s. announces it will send additional $1 billion in assistance. and we have the chief negotiator, and david, thank you for being here. i know you're flying back and you took time to be here. and it's important what were you to go this past week in washington. i wanted to show our viewers, a fox news poll that shows some 59% favor sending more money, but 61% of americans support giving ukraine more weapons. are you getting the weapons you need at this moment on the ground to win the war? >> first i would like to thank all american people for this tremendous support. i'm wearing the ukrainian t-shirt and people are stopping me on the street and sending

warm words for the support and this is important for us because it's very, very hard now in the ukraine, you know, the war gets tougher. as for the weapons, i really appreciate this type of opinion because like the weapon is more important than money for us because we're fighting on the east, very, very tough fighting we are increasing the number of deaths, you know, so we need to badly badly need long distance high mark assistance and that i met numbers of senators and congressmen and described why we do need this because we have to be symmetrical with russia. the country is bigger and the army is bigger and we have to find creative ways to combat this and put the air assistance, and electronic warfare and we have means to fill that. once we destroy those, we could

go and attack and change the battlefield picture completely. so america already gave us a lot of stuff, you know, but this is the crucial, once we get those, you know, like we will go counter offensive operation and i think that have very good use. griff: let me be clear. what you need to change trajectory are the longer range high mark system you need those. >> very, very badly. griff: and boris johnson was in kiev and said to the ukrainian people we're with you and we will be with you until you ultimately prevail and president biden put out a statement three days ago the united states stands by ukraine as it defends its sovereignty or democracy, but won't say until you prevail. does that matter?

>> it matters of course. why? because we're hearing whispers not coming from the biden administration, but it comes from different angles saying that the it's coming and the elections here and europe will get some gas price issues over here, close to the winter and then you know like you'll have to surrender some of the territory which is not possible at all. ukrainians will fight until the end. you know, until the last soldier, we've got a lot of people motivated the morale is three to four times better for the russians. because they're fighting for unknown principles and ideology behind it and we reject all of the talks like this. so we want to prevail or put russians to realize that they did a mistake and they have to step back and we should kick them out of our country. griff: i read this morning that you had said in another interview, you thought the peace talks, negotiations could

begin again in august. where do we stand and do you feel like you're being pressured to return to the negotiating table? >> no, we are not being pressured, but what we would like to do, august, we have our independence day so we want-- i can tell you what, if today or tomorrow after our show, for example, the u.s. government will eventually give political will to give us long distance systems, i'm pretty sure we will be in good, healthy condition, separating our day of independency. griff: let me ask you, i know you were meeting with people like speaker pelosi, you would see if they would designate russia a state sponsor of terror. >> it's important. because they're saying u.s. sanctions failed, and somewhat true because they found numerous ways how to avoid it. so once the country has been

recognized as sponsor of terrorism, they've got problem with the banking system. griff: did you get a commitment from speaker pelosi? >> we hope this wednesday, which is coming that it's voted in the senate. it's a resolution and then go to the state department. griff: i think you just made some news there. we'll follow that. >> i want to give you also great souvenir that people are reutilizing weapons and peoples bullets that they give that, and guys making these types of bracelets. griff: look at that. david, parliament leader, thank you, very important indeed. aishah, to you. aishah: all right, griff. one firefighter died and five others were injured after a three story restaurant and residential building collapsed in that fire and jonathan siri is live with the latest on

this, jonathan. >> aishah, the fire broke out around 2 a.m. in a small mixed use building in the fair hill neighborhood of philadelphia. firefighters were able to get the fire under control in just a matter of minutes, about 15 minutes, but it's after they went inside to inspect the damage around 3:30 in the morning the building collapsed, trapping five firefighters and a sitting building inspector. officials say the incident claimed the life of one of the firefighters, a firefighter who served with the department for 27 years. >> a sad day for the philadelphia fire department, you know, unfortunately our department lost a member fighting, bravely fight ago fire and then a building collapse after the fire was over. >> the other trapped firefighters were pulled from the wreckage, they were taken to the hospital and reported in stable condition.

the building inspector has been treated and released. a witness, whose job regularly takes him to fire scenes, says he's never seen anything like this. >> i'm at every fire scene there is, every fire scene. my company goes to every single fired and referred to by insurance companies, and this is handsdown the worst thing i've ever seen, the most serious thing i've seen. >> it's obvious that the fire weakened the structural integrity of the building and what led to that for the future. that investigation is ongoing. aishah: we'll be thinking about the firefighters down there. thank you so much, jonathan. >> certainly. aishah: griff. griff: we're going to hit the road to campaign 2022 with our rich edson on the ground in nashville, where president trump spoke out against the january 6th hearings on friday. that's next.

president trump's floated the election in 2024. it's not something he's officially announced, but he talks a lot about it. the former president spent a large chunk of his address here yesterday with unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud and a message that many republicans are urging him to move on from and spoke about the january 6th committee hearings and testimony from a former aide that said called former vice-president mike pence a wimp. >> i don't know who the people are, i never called him a wimp. mike pence had a clans to be great, but mike did not have the courage to act. he had a chance. >> pence is usually a regular these conferences, a close

the department worked with a private tech company that create a special dog harness equipped with electronics. and that's sensors enable the k-9 officers to detect radiation or chemical or biological agents that a dog's nose can't. the tech was necessary in a fight against terrorism. >> international terrorism groups were intentionally creating a gap in our detection capability specific to the dog. they were kind of gearing it to avoid detection by a dog. so they were-- they started to create unconventional explosive devices. >> now, each harness has multiple zones sores that sent readings to a command post and then the officers can take a look at readings and respond accordingly. >> and i can stay at one location and track them all

over. so if we have a team in brooklyn or went through manhattan, i can pull them up at the same time without being on scene and get the readings and information from them. >> although this new technology is only here in new york city, with the n.y.p.d., they've shared that technology and information about it with the military and other departments across the world, griff. griff: what would we do without our k-9 friends? alexis mcadams with a school look at the technology with the n.y.p.d. thank you. aishah: the mayor of uma, arizona speaking out now on the migrant crisis affecting his border city and why the problem has been skyrocketing during the biden administration. that's all still ahead. o triet more energy in just two weeks!

griff: live pictures from the southern border as the rising temperatures are not slowing down the record number of migrants crossing there as encounters hit new record in may at almost 240,000 encounters. welcome to fox news live. i'm griff jenkins. aishah: hi, and i'm aishah hosnie, big jump from last year which saw 180,000 encounters. bill melugin live from the rio grande valley in texas with all the latest. hi, bill. bill: aishah, good afternoon to you. that's right, it's not just the number of illegal immigrants

arriving in the country that are going up right now. the number of people on the terror watch list who are showing up at our southern border is also shooting through the roof. take a look at the graphic right here. brand-new data from cbp, the border patrol arrested people on terrorist screening database of known or suspected terrorists. take a look at the numbers for fiscal year 2022 already, 50 of the terror watch list arrests already this year and there's still 4 months left in the fiscal year. look at how that compares to prior years. the last 5 years before that combined were only 26 so partially done with year 2022, essentially almost doubled the last 5 years combined. and one of the biggest critics of the administration has been former ice director tom homan and repeated said bad actors used bad policy to get into the country. take a look at what he had to say about the numbers

the databases prevents to come to the country but they are meaningless. why apply for a visa when you know you will get vetted. you go to mexico, cross the southwest border and enter the country to do us harm. bill: aishah, you mentioned off at the top, may numbers are off, yet 239,000 illegal crossings at our southern border in the month of may alone. the highest number in dhs history. it's the third month in a row we set a new record. it's almost the third month in a row. we had more than 200 illegal crossings at the border. you look at the big picture 1.5 illegal crossings just since october. that's bigger than the populations of seattle and boston combined. yesterday if we can pull the video up, texas governor greg abbott out here in the rio grande valley receiving another briefing from texas dps and

national guard. he's had to surge massive amount of texas resources down here to the border. i asked him about that terror watch list. he had this to say. take a listen. >> we have demanded that joe biden come to the border and not for candy-coated tour. he needs to see the struggles of what people in del rio are dealing with. he needs to see the ranches that have been ripped apart by the illegal immigration that he has allowed. he needs to talk to the people whose lives have been completely disrupted. bill: again, we are at 1.5 illegal crossings in fiscal year 2022. it's not even done yet. griff mentioned last hour, last fiscal year in 2021 we had 1.7 million illegal crossings, that set the all-time record so we are going to blow that record out of the water this year in fiscal year 2022 if these trends continue which certainly looks like they are going to. we will send it back to you.

>> and this is i think credible it's happening during hot summer months which is not normal. griff. griff: for more on this, we are joined by the mayor of arizona, douglas nichols. i don't want to overload the audience with too many numbers but i looked at the last 24 hours specifically to the yuma sector. let us show our viewers, 644 encounters in the last 24 hours but in just yuma alone, you've had more than 230,000 encounters this fiscal year compared to last year which was the record year. you're up 318%. you've had nearly 25,000 migrants who were seen but got away. what is the situation there in yuma like? >> ironically the numbers are better than the month before because in may we had about over a thousand people a day. we had 33,000 people come to the

yuma sector and those that are -- that engage border patrol. what we are finding more and more now are those that are getting away. holes in the fence, those are the people that are looking to evade and those are the big security concerns really for our country. the reason i think we've been able to engage more and intersect more of those down the terrorist watch list and those with crimes is because we do have more agents now on the border, but what happened a year, year and a half before that when all of our agents start processing and not at the border. griff: what bill was reporting 50, 50 individuals arrested at our southern border hitting the tsdb and bill broke down in a tweet, 26 combined of the last 5 years, so you're up 100%. are you aware, are you notified when someone crosses, is

apprehended and hits tsdb in your area? >> we are very fortunate, our local border patrol chief is transparent and things go out on twitter and we are aware of what the activity is and could be if we didn't have our men and women in green working hard every day. griff: have some of the 50 landed in your backyard, have you had terrorists coming through? >> yes, we have. i couldn't give you the number. on a routine basis, the numbers are posted for the community to understand as well as the country. griff: mr. mayor, i've covered the border situation in years past in yuma where you are. it's a great small city. what is the population, maybe 95,000, 100,000 at best? >> in the city we are a hundred thousand and in the community we are about 200,000. so when you talk about 230,000 people coming through, that's greater than the size of total community coming through our sector here in the yuma area in the last 8 months, 9 months. griff: how do the residents of

yuma feel about that? >> well, they are very concerned because right now it is contained. border patrol is doing a great job but at the point in which a caravan hits and border patrol is overwhelmed, what does that going to mean in our community? we have been working hard to try to make sure that we are prepared for that but it's an unknown. we've never been down this road before. preparations, it's one of those things that are tough to put our arms around. griff: you feel border patrol is doing a good job but at the same time if you have 30,000 got aways, you know, it's hard -- would you agree or disagree with secretary mayorkas when he says that they have operational control of the border at this moment? >> yeah, i cannot understand how that makes any sense. operational control would mean you can control the flow. it's a completely reactionary posture at this point and so i don't know how you can say you control something when you are only reacting to it. i completely disagree with that.

it's something that we have never seen before. it was mentioned earlier, we are entering into the hottest part of the year and we've had 29,000 deaths in the yuma sector secretary. the temperatures hit 110 and 120, deaths are only inevitable when you have the numbers coming through. >> griff: and this point isn't raised enough. when you talk about deaths, you to talk about the fentanyl deaths happening elsewhere because the drugs don't stay at the border, they go into the interior of the u.s. how bad has the drug trafficking situation been in your area? >> well, we see all of the time very public busts where we end up posting and mostly u.s. border patrol again being proactive as recently where they've been able to have the resources to do that, but we are seeing record busts and the traffic is, i think, just the tip of the iceberg we are able to touch. a lot of it i believe is making through the interior of the country. griff: that's an unfortunate

reality, in the last 20 seconds, mr. mayor, are there resources or things that you need there in yuma? >> well, it's all about the prevention of crossings. whether you're talking people or you're talking drugs or anything illegal, we need a more proactive stance nationally in other countries where we are preventing the traffic from even getting to the border. griff: yuma, arizona mayor douglas nichols, thank you for taking time, happy father's day. >> u.s. capitol police charging staffers charging them with illegal force entry. big capitol compound. group allegedly wandering in the hallways for hours unescorted on thursday. not sure who thought that was a good idea. congressional correspondents chad joining us now with the very latest on this, chad.

>> good afternoon, aishah, unlawful entry is the charge for these 7 members of colbert's team. you're not supposed to be inside the capitol complex after hours without an escort but that's not what happened on thursday night. among those busted by capitol police robert, he's known as the voice of triumph and put out a video this week and accused georgia representative of leading tours of the capitol before last year's riot. one man in the video spotted threats to democrats. >> there's no escape, pelosi, schumer, nadler, we are coming for you. aoc, we are coming to take you out. >> so accusing me of giving

illegal tours of the capitol, they are giving illegal tours to the capitol. who is going to hold them accountable? >> accuse the other side of being in league with last year's rioters. >> media are the ones i'm hearing that had them escorted out the first time yesterday and then they came back and it's my understanding they were offered a way back into the house office buildings by the staffer who worked for the other member of congress. then they were -- they were -- they were actually seen, they were actually seen banging on the doors of people like kevin mccarthy's office, jim jordan's office. >> the colbert 7 went through official channels to get credentials to cover the 1-6 committee hearings and they were denied and that's because they

were not press. >> they still decided to into the capitol. you and i know the capitol has changed quite a bit since january 6th incident. obviously security is heightened and people are on edge. what was this team trying to do on capitol hill? >> well, cbs put out a statement last night. they said that they were producing comedy segments for colbert's show. they did some interviews with adam schiff, the democratic representative from california, also stephanie murphy of florida. two members of the 1/6 committee and democrat from massachusetts and i'm told that it was an aide who let the members to have comedy back into the capitol some time after 4:30 p.m. on thursday. and they were arrested around 8:30 on thursday night.

>> i imagine kevin mccarthy's office is not going to let this one go especially considering there are some reports that these folks were, you know, knocking on their doors looking for them. is there any potential for a call for an investigation? i mean, what can happen from here on out, what can republicans do to try to get some kind of justice outside of just these criminal charges? chad: well, it's not just not what republicans can do. certainly they will make the case here that the 1/6 committee was fooling around with the comedy team when they were trying to have serious hearings but the u.s. capitol police continue to say they are conducting an investigation. you can bet that they'll want to talk to do aide and the house radio tv gallery that issues the credentials, they were onto this team, they were denied the credentials because they are not news and they are entertainment and u.s. capitol police asked the team to leave the area where

they were holding the hearing, the 1/6 committee hearing on thursday afternoon, they were on the lookout for them and they came back. you cannot be back in a capitol hill office building without an escort. aishah. >> incredible, chad, thank you so much, gate reporting, we appreciate it. griff. griff: aishah and chad as inflation and gas prices soar, the president's approval ratings is dropping. hey, lucas. lucas: hey, griff, president biden wants the oil industry to make more fuel but refiners are maxed out, max capacity, 94%. >> to asked what the plans are and give any suggestions they have. they have over 9,000, 9,000. they can drill. they're not doing it.

lucas: for weeks biden blamed russia for inflation crisis. last week a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline crossed 5-dollar threshold for the first time in american history. but half blame biden for the spike, 13% blame biden and putin. global oil production is already within 1% of pre-pandemic levels. here in the u.s. oil production also operating at near max capacity but 20 million barrels per day produced in may, that's within 3% of january 2020's record high before the pandemic. bottom line, there's not much room to pump more oil here in the united states despite the president insisting he spoke to reporters before leaving for the beach about meeting saudi arabia crown pins mohamed, better known for mbs. >> i'm not meeting with mbs.

lucas: india is doing the most to bail russia out. russia's oil exports have increased despite the sanctions. india a year ago was importing a hundred thousand barrels from russia today 900,000 barrels. nato allied turkey has also been importing more oil from russia, griff. griff: lucas, quick follow-up, last week you were the first to really put a point and start talking about as the gas prices rose the president's poll numbers dropped. is there any indication that they're acknowledging that correlation at the white house? >> not here at the white house, griff, but it's very interesting that the founder and chairman of fedex told bret baier back in april that president obama once told him that his poll numbers almost always correlated to the price of gasoline and we are seeing that today as gas goes to record setting highs, biden's approval rating is plummeting, griff. griff: interesting stuff. lucas thompson. aishah.

>> onto another crisis, now crime across america in florida 5 people were shot at a pensacola nightclub early this morning. that's according to police. four of the victims were found outside the club's parking lot and the fifth person showed up later at the hospital. all of those victims are expected to be okay. no arrests have been made so far. griff. griff: aishah, 3 individuals were assaulted by a man with a, quote, edge weapon last night in san francisco international airport. the san francisco police department reveals the suspect drove to the airport at 6:00 p.m. and walked the departure terminal before pulling out a weapon and assaulting the men. authorities claim the victims suffered nonlife threatening injuries and were released at the scene. aishah. >> brand new fox poll show one party has a double digit lead when it comes who americans trust to handle crimes. the results coming up next.

republicans have a 13% advantage over democrats when it comes to who americans think handles crime better. joining us now former manchin communication director and capitol council llc partner johnson and former georgia congressman and liberty guard chairman, bob barr, welcome to you both. thanks for being with us on this saturday. let's start with the crime and the gun reform battle happening on capitol hill. so congress is still trying to iron out the details on this bipartisan package for gun reform. working out some struggles right now, some of the details, but it does have support from a handful of republicans that could make this wind up on the president's desk. bob, you've got major concerns about this particular piece of legislation. can you give us an understanding why? >> major concerns about this, primarily because one of the

lead pins of the plan as we understand it without seeing all of the details is something called the emergency -- i'm sorry, the red flag laws and the problem here is these -- these laws are right with constitutional problems. there's due process, there's confrontation issues, there's property rights issues in addition to second amendment rights. and passing this law even if they do, even if the president signs it, it will have nothing to do with what we see happening on the streets of america and voters see what's happening on the streets of america, they see crime ramping, smash and grab, demonstrations, violence and that's what's going to make a difference in the election in november. not a piece of gun control legislation. that will not do it and voters know that. aishah: jonathan, if this piece of legislation does get to the president's desk, do you think

it would be enough for democrats to campaign on ahead of the midterms? do you think it's something that they can still stand next to and say, look, we did this and this is why you should keep us in office? >> i think they should. i think they should campaign on this. this is a good first step. as chris murphy said, this isn't everything that we need to do to solve the gun problem but good first step and bill we pass in 30 years. i also think we need to focus on the fact that crime is a national problem. it's not something that can be fixed one city, one state by one state. a new report by third way shows that 8 of the 10 highest murder per capita states in the country are red states that voted for donald trump. this is not a democrat or republican problem. this is a problem that we need to face nationally and come together and we need to see more democrats getting on board with congressman protect act that addresses the issue of getting more cops on the street, it helps the president who put in his budget getting more cops on

the streets and u.s. marshals get guns out of the hands of criminal and it invests in mental health, this is the way we address the crime problem in the country. it's in the just by saying oh, we can't do anything or blaming democrats or blaming republicans, this is a problem that we all have to come together and address as nation. this is a real problem and democrats are addressing it head on and unfortunately we have a lot of republicans who don't want to do anything on guns. it is ridiculous to say that we can want pass this bill because there's some property rights issues. an 18-year-old walk intoed a store, bought two ar-15's, this was a troubled person. this should never happen in the country. we need more republicans coming together and saying that's prowrong and we need to come together and do something about it. >> and there are several republicans on the hill that do want to get something done. congrats to cornyn. i applaud him. aishah: senator manchin getting a lot of credit for talking

about inflation and the threat of rising inflation all last year when democrats were trying to pass this trillion dollar build back better plan and this after they passed the american rescue plan. the president, of course, waiting off the idea that the american rescue plan may have contributed in any way to rising inflation. the inflation that we are dealing with today. jonathan, do you think that it did? >> no, i don't think it did. i think a lot of things contributed to the rising inflation. we spent a lot of money getting out of the horrible covid situation we were in. we were as a country shut down, people were struggling, they needed help. the recovery act grew people out of poverty and helped children get food and helped parents pay the bills and it was necessary but senator manchin has always been concerned about the fiscal responsibility that we have as a country. he halls always been concerned about national debt. i worked for him for eight years. he talked -- >> aishah: a lot of kudos from a

lot of billionaire that is he's saved the country. i want to also get to this. jonathan, one of the biggest criticism of this administration is not accepting responsibility or at least saying, look, the buck stops here with what's going on with inflation and gas prices. if we can pull up this poll here on what americans think contributed more to the current gas prices and at the top of the list, 50% say it's biden and his policies. how should democrats be messaging right now when 50% of americans say it's the president? >> i think democrats should take a page from the donald trump playbook and go out and champion and yell and talk about and tweet about all their accomplishments. they've done a lot. there were huge investments in infrastructure. huge investments in child poverty confirming judges. the biden administration has done a lot but have faced a lot but joe biden is taking it head on and that's why democrats elected him. we knew that he could handle 3,

4, 5 crises i don't think we ever thought there would be that many but he's handling them and taking them face on. i just hope democrats go out there and scheme at the -- scream at the top of the lungs and how good the administration is doing and if they do that they will have a successful november but that they are to take a page out of trump's playbook. aishah: you made a good point. democrats should be shouting what they have been doing. bob, do you think that's enough if americans are playing 6 plus dollars per gas? >> if democrats go out there and shout about how great they have been doing with the economy and with immigration, with gas, with crime on the streets of america, then they are going to lose even bigger. i mean, jonathan is in lala land if he thinks the democrats going out and saying, oh biden has done a great job dealing with

these crises when americans see at the pump every single day five, six, 7-dollar gasoline and when they see on the news a smash and grab and they see demonstrations in front of a supreme court justice's house and nothing being done about it. they see a double standard of justice. they see crime, they see immigration, they see the rising cost at the store and in their cars and if democrats go out and say this is great news for americans, the voters will laugh in their face as they vote. aishah: we will find out in a couple of months here. it's coming fast. thank you to both of you jonathan, bob, for being with us. we hope you come back. griff. griff: aishah, one of america's most iconic parks is shut down indefinitely due to devastating flooding. more on that coming up. ♪ ♪ ♪
