arthel: 95 more migrants arriving in new york city by bus from the texas border this morning putting more strain on the city's shelters. texas above greg abbott has sent more than 1500 migrants to new york in his growing feud with sanctuary cities. hello, everyone, welcome to "fox news live," i'm arthel neville. eric: thank you for joining us, i'm eric shawn. down at the border migrants continue to pour into our country in large groups, many sadly suffering from dehydration and, we're told, severe illnesses because of the heat
11:01 am
and the conditions there. the latest heartbreaking story there this chaotic humanitarian crisis involves an infant and a toddler who police say were abandoned by smugglers in the desert. arthel: matt finn is on the border live in eagle pass, texas, with more on this dire situation. matt? >> reporter: hi, arthel. this saturday afternoon we've already seen a few dozen illegal migrants crossing the rio grande illegally, some of them over my shoulder now waiting to be processed. eagle pass, texas, which is where we are standing, is the port9 of entry where so many migrants cross illegally here to the united states. texas republican governor greg abbott and arizona republican governor doug ducey have been sending migrants by bus to sanctuary cities like new york and d.c., relieving their border towns of the burden of hundreds of house of illegal migrants. and the sheriff of one county tells fox news president biden should be stepping this to help
11:02 am
solve this problem. >> let's get president biden in the room with us, let's fix this problem on our border. let's get engaged. i've said it before and i'll say it again, this ain't a republican or democrat issue, this is america's issue. >> reporter: also a new video shows that previously decan ported felon from mexico living here illegally with an outstanding warrant for indecency with a child by sexual contact, that man being arrested with three kids in an suv with him. that arrest happening in the rio grande valley. also in the state of arizona where there's are been substantial fentanyl busts in recent days and weeks, border patrol announced two american smugglers were busted with 4.3 million in fentanyl pills. those pills totaled 187 pounds, and we know that just a few specks of fentanyl can be deadly. also as you mentioned in my intro, a four-month-old toddler and an 18-month-old were found
11:03 am
in the desert in arizona. border patrol says they were abandoned by smugglers. they were revived near death, so that shows just how gut-wrenching some of these stories are along the border. back to you guys. arthel: very tragic. matt finn live at the border, thanks. eric? eric: reactions still coming in from both sides of the political aisle to the unseals of the -- unsealing of the redacted affidavit. the document is heavily blacked out, but it does offer the most detail yet on the government's investigation including the fbi's trouble cause for wanting to the to search parts of former president trump's florida home amid concerns that documents could have illegally gotten out. alexandria hoff has the latest. >> reporter: what was left visible confirmed that the justice department had mounting concerns over the nature and handling of the documents
11:04 am
brought to mar-a-lago. the affidavit describes in january trump representatives turned over 15 boxes of records, and by may the doj said that those documents they had stuff like notes and newspapers that were all mixed up with highly classified documents. 25 were marked top secret, and some indicated that they contained sensitive information on intelligence operatives. the probable cause, therefore, stated to justify the raid of mar-a-lago was the belief that additional classified documents would be found along with evidence of obstruction. what they mean by obstruction, that was not revealed. here's fox news contributor jonathan turley. >> we really need to know what happened during that month period before the raid, why it was necessary to do the raid itself as opposed to a second subpoena, whether the trump team basically told them to pound sand, we're not going to give
11:05 am
you these documents. >> reporter: former president trump reacted to the affidavit calling it a witch hunt, familiar words. he maintains that he had declassified all of the documents in his possession. president biden was asked yesterday about that, and here's what he he said. >> [inaudible] declassified all the documents, if he had just declassified them all -- >> i just want to know, i've declassified everything in the world. i'm president, i can do it. come on. i'm not going to comment because i don't know the detail. i don't even want to know. i'll let the justice department take care of it. >> reporter: according to senator mark warner, senate intelligence committee has made a bipartisan request for an investigation into sensitive investigation that may have been mishandled in this entire ordeal at mar-a-lago, whether it was kept securely or not. and in addition, the trump legal team is requesting a third party attorney be a appointed to oversee the handling of what was collected there. due to a paperwork issue, they
11:06 am
had to resubmit that request last night. eric? eric: alexandria, thanks. arthel: there is bipartisan backlash to president biden's plan to pay off up to $10,000 in student loan debt. the president insists it will not make inflation worse, but he still faces questions on where the money for debt relief will come from. lucas tomlinson live at the white house with more. >> reporter: good afternoon, arthel. estimates vary widely on the president's plan. the white house says it will cost $240 billion, big brains at the university of pennsylvania think it could cost four times that amount a, $1 trillion. the white house pushed back on that last estimate. >> they have a massive range on summiting the impact -- estimating the impact of our reforms to the plan. it assumes 100% of people will take it up. in our mind that's not necessarily a reasonable assumption. >> reporter: before heading to delaware, president biden defended his plan to spend hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money for the
11:07 am
student debt relief. >> this is not going to cause inflation, number one. number two, it will generate economic growth. frees a lot of people up. it's going to grow the economy. we still have a way to go, but i'm optimistic. >> reporter: in what some are calling the biggest speech of his career, jerome powell says he has to keep raising interest rates to bring down inflation which sent the market plummeting, the dow down 1,000 points. >> softer labor market conditions will bring some pain to households and businesses. these are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. but a failure to restore price stability would mean far greater pain. >> reporter: a dem -- eight democrats have said publicly they do not support the student debt relief plan, all running in critical races in the midterms including tim ryan who hopes to beat j.d. vance in ohio, a state that trump won in 2016 and 2020.
11:08 am
next month president biden will head to ohio. arthel? arthel: lucas, thank you, live at the white house. eric? eric: most democrats cheering the president's move as making good on a long overdue biden campaign promise. but, you know, some as u lous cat said that -- as lucas said question the president's authority to wipe out debt with the stroke of a pen by using an executive order. the administration said he used covid-related emergency authority, and they say he is on solid legal and fiscal footing. >> this is going to be a one-time thing in terms of the blanket relief. you know, this is an authority that is conditional on an emergency, as i said, and the president believes that this relief is warranted in this instance coming off the pandemic and as we transition back into repayment. it is not the kind of authority you can use over and over again. eric: susan ferrechio joins us
11:09 am
with the washington times. good to see you, as always. specifically, you're forgiven $10,000 if you make under $125,000 a year. people who it helps are ecstatic, but others who paid through the nose for hair education or took over -- their education or took other life choices, they're saying, you know, do i get a break? how can this reverberate politically? >> well, it's a great question because i think this broad stroke by the biden administration has provoked uniquely strong backlash amongst his own base. and i think that's pretty interesting. you've got a lot of democrats who feel this is unfair, not just the lawmakers who are worried about re-election in some of these swing districts, but you're dealing with a lot of people who did not go to college and don't want to pay off other people's bills, but just other parts of the base where people went to college and paid off their debt, paying off their children's college debts, they feel this is unfair to them too
11:10 am
too, and they're also concerned that the biden administration is making a serious misstep ahead of the midterm election where that backlash will hurt him and not help him. but on the flip side of this, you look at who the biden administration may be targeting here, young people who 60% of whom turned out to vote for him in 2020. he's lost a third of that support since taking office. that's pretty dangerous stuff politically ahead of the -- not just the midterms, but looking ahead in 2024. you want to keep the young people energized, and they feel as though the biden administration has not come through with some key campaign promises, stuff concerning more green energy initiatives, the student debt issue, legalizing those who came here illegally as children, all these big issues that he promised on the campaign trail wasn't able to move across the finish line as much as they had hoped legislatively. so he makes this unilateral move, and it's provoked a backlash. he's split amongst his party base of people who like -- who
11:11 am
hate it -- eric: i mean, progressives, they say, he didn't do enough. some say he should have gone up to 50,000 if not more -- >> cancel it all, yes. eric: you mentioned the midterms coming up. who are two massachusetts members of congress, one served in the military, he went to harvard are. heavy got harvard and mit and bu and all the hub of higher education in their area, and they have reservations about this. let's take a listen. >> it doesn't address the key underlying issue which is the skyrocketing cost of tuition. you know, there is a concern that schools will just profit off of this because they can keep raising tuition knowing that kids will come. >> i would have taken a different approach here. i think with similar amounts of money you could have expanded pell grants, you could relieve medical debt for households throughout the united states which would be more fair and more proactive many looking at
11:12 am
how we grow the economy and how we make college more affordable going forward. eric: that's interesting the congressman is trying to thread the needle there with specific policy issues, but i it gets the headline if you say your debt's forgiven. >> the interesting thing though is people are angry about it. that's what's bad here for biden. already a lot of people really relieved and others who say it's not enough, but there's a whole chunk of people who say this is really unfair. if you get a bachelor's degree, you're going to earn somewhere along the lines of $1.# million in your lifetime over someone who never attended college, if you go to graduate school, that goes up to $1.6 million. a good 40% of all the debt can held right now by students eligible for this program are are held by people who took out loans for graduate school, not just undergrad. so you're dealing with people who are going to earn -- the highest earners in our society, and then you have these two lawmakers addressing other big, huge issues in higher education.
11:13 am
fact that tuition is rising and and rising and rising well beyond the rate of inflation, making itself una affordable to a lot of families, does nothing to address it. in fact, when you pump money into the system like this, we all know what happens, tuition will probably go up. so this isn't helping, you know, the status quo. it's making it worse, actually, while carving out a special program for one group of people. it's high risk, i think, for the biden administration to do this. eric: yeah. >> we'll see how it plays out in the polls. eric: yeah, certainly. and finally, susan, there are those who say, look, the interest rates have skyrocketed, it's so high. it's the like the mob, the mafia, you can't get out of it. you're paying hundreds of thousands, and others say, look, big corporations, 40 some odd fortune 500 companies pay no taxes, the rich people and billion mares and millionaires use old tax loopholes, so we're paying for thought -- for all
11:14 am
these millionaires and corporations, so why can't we give hard working people a break? >> or they argue we spend too much on the military, spend too much on programmings -- programs that people don't agree with. there's all kinds of ways to justify it, for sure. paints a picture that says, wait a second, everybody knows someone -- everyone has debt in america. you have a car loan, you have a mortgage, you've got credit card debt that's costing you more every month because interest rates are on the rise, all these people are saying, wait a is sec, why -- wait a sec, why does this group get a special deal when other people who have just as debilitating debt, where's our break? that's why i think the biden administration has got themselves in between a rock and a hard place. they really want to help on this, but they've alienated a lot of people potentially in their own base. eric: yeah. just look at trying to to the bills every month. susan, great to see you, as always, and thank you for your insight on this.
11:15 am
>> thank you. eric: arthel? arthel: all right, eric. well,, meta ceo mark zuckerberg making news following comments on joe rogan's podcast on thursday. zuckerberg said facebook censored the hunter biden laptop story after a warning prosecute fbi about -- from the fbi about potential foreign hacks and leak threats. according to an article in the hill, this warning came after russia used social media platforms including facebook to post content intended to be polarizing ahead of 2016 election. alexis mcadams is live in new york city with the details. >> reporter: hey, arthel. that's right, a lot of new details on this and a lot of people talking about this rogan podcast. the facebook ceo says he and his team took a warning from the fbi very seriously. that warning came just a few weeks before the 2020 election, and some people believe the fbi completely overstepped. zuckerberg defending the decision. if. >> kind of thought, hey, look,
11:16 am
if the fbi or -- which i still view as a legitimate institution in country, it's, like, very professional law enforcement -- if they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something, then i'm going to take that seriously. >> reporter: south carolinaer berg telling listeners -- zuckerberg telling listeners facebook did limited reach while fact checkers were tasked with checking the claims. less people saw the story hand would have otherwise. zuckerberg tells rogan he doesn't remember if the fbi specifically mentioned "the new york post" article about hunter biden's laptop but says it does fit the pattern of what the fbi described. so meta, facebook's parent company, released this statement saying: as we've said, nothing about the hunter biden laptop is new, pointing out that mark testified before the senate nearly two years ago. however, this interview has led to outrage and accusations of election interappearance by the fbi.
11:17 am
>> i think there should be an investigation on what the fbi communicated to zuckerberg and other media outlets that suppressed and didn't get the story out about not just the laptop, but anything else that they don't think will help the left in their agenda. >> reporter: and that's the question, arthel, what exactly did the fbi tell facebook and twitter before the 2020 election in that conversation. we reached out to the fbi for comment, but we haven't heard back. arthel? arthel: yeah. because then i read an article where zuckerberg had told congress hat fbi did not specifically ask about "the new york post" article, so -- >> reporter: a lot of conflicting reports there, yeah. on this podcast he says he can't remember, and as you mentioned in the past he says, no, they didn't say that. now people are calling for much more transparency and have a lot more questions. arthel: alexis mcadams, thank you. eric: europe's largest nuclear power plant is back online, but

11:25 am
and do you have any specific concerns about the nuclear power plant? >> well, arkansas zell, it's hard -- arthel, it's hard to know. right now we seem to be frozen at something of a stalemate. the ukrainians have done a great job pushing back against the russians and what everyone thought would be a very short war with the russians succeeding very quickly, they haven't. heavy lost 20-30,000 troops already, the ukrainians have lost 6,000 civilians, so casualties are high, but the ukrainians have held the russians at a stalemate. both are thinking about increasing their offensive capabilities and pushing forward, so we'll have to see what happens. with respect to zaporizhzhia, obviously, the shelling that continues in that area, the pressure that both sides are are putting on that facility, in particular russia's having taken it over, having gotten rid of a significant number of operators put that plan in jeopardy, and so we worry about a potential nuclear disaster with a cloud that could spread, radiation
11:26 am
that could spread over europe. that's a real concern with zaporizhzhia. arthel: right. you're talking about a leak. not an explosion, but a leak, possible leak, right? yes or no. >> exactly right. arthel: okay. so let's talk about this $3 billion aid package. how will it help ukraine's defense? and any offense, preemptive moves against russia? >> well, with some of the equipment being supplied in very large package, it's important stuff. we're talking about six surface to air missiles which'll help protect the ukrainians against russian aircraft. we're also talking about anti-drone do systems called the vampire system which can be mounted on the back of a truck. there's really good possibilities, also tens of thousands of rounds of artillery. so real opportunity for the ukrainians. these materials will be sent over a period of time, ukrainians will be able to buy them from the military defense industrial base, so we'll be able to get them that and be
11:27 am
able to sell that back to ukrainians with american money. arthel: wait, wait, wait. slow down, jamil. which you say we'll be able to sell that back? >> yeah. the u.s. government's providing the ukrainians money to purchase equipment from american defense contractors. so that's how this money will be deployed. to the ukrainians, and then they'll be buying american equipment with. arthel: interesting, okay. let me read an excerpt from the wall street journal, a report that came out on wednesday regarding this latest ukraine aid package. part of the article says, quote: while some defense companies may be able to provide some knew missions in the coming months, the biden administration said getting the weapons promised to ukraine on wednesday would be a multiyear investment. some weapons could take as long as three years to arrive. defense officials said. and now, before i get back to you, georgia mill, i want to play some sound from pentagon press secretary and brigadier general pat ryder.
11:28 am
let's listen. >> part of this is not only providing that capability, but sending an important message to russia but also to our allies and our partners in the region about our commitment to supporting ukraine. and probably the most important audience is the ukrainians themselves, demonstrating our commitment as a country and as a military to supporting them in their fight. arthel: so some weapons could take as long as three years to arrive. of course, ukraine needs to fortify its military beyond this current war, and the pentagon wants to display a long-term commitment to ukraine. so i ask you, jamil, is this the the right strategy and projection? we could have a different administration in three years and, two, might the aid eventually be in the form of special ops and less financing? >> well, certainly, arthel, it's valuable to provide this assistance to ukraine even over the long term so they can defend themselves against a future potential russian attack.
11:29 am
the problem, of course, here is why didn't we provide this kind of long-term support before the invasion? if we had provided this kind of support, this kind of training well in advance, you might very well have deterred the russians from coming in. so one wonders to themselves, look, we've had -- we've known the russians have been interested in ukraine for a long time. we started the ukraine security assistance nichive, we provided about a billion and a half of funding to ukraine there, why didn't the biden administration as we were in the runup to this war at the end of last year provide assistance then to try and deter the russian invasion that we're now in the middle of and the thousands of lost lives? arthel: president zelenskyy was begging for that assistance early on. jamil jaffer, i have to leave it there. thank you, always good to see you. take care. >> thanks, arthel. eric: fall just around the corner and so is another round of covid boosters. but how much can they the really help? we may face a new pall surge of covid.

mrna technology and says it did not enforce the patent earlier in the pandemic to speed development. the lawsuit is not expected to interfere with my new covid vaccines. eric: pfizer and moderna are asking u.s. regulators to authorize modified versions of their booster shots. that's ahead of an expected covid surge we may face coming fall. the companies want to include protection for the newest omicron strains. cdc data shows this that omicron ba-5 variant now makes up more than 88% of the cases here many our country. the seven-day average for few covid cases, well, it's been trending down, thankfully, in our country over the last month or so. but the cdc still says about 400 americans are dying of covid every day. so how effective will the boosters be? dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine at myu land gone disturb nby land gone medical
11:36 am
center. what do you expect's going to to happen this fall? they're talking about this new booster, they're going to mix up the recipe a little bit to make it more effective against the ba-5? >> first of all, the shot is going to include the old variant with, i mean, the original, plus the new ba-4, ba-5, so they'll have both in there. i think the problem they're going to have is we're not seeing a lot of vaccine upic the right now. we have 67% of the country got two shots, only about half of those got the third shot, and only 25 million in the country got the fourth shot. so i'm having this conversation in my office every day, what do you want to do? you're in a high risk group, you're over 60 years old, you have pre-existing conditions, i'm concerned that if you get covid, you could get very sick. people now for the most part are slowing could be on getting that fourth shot who are at higher risk. that's the key. severity. thinking maybe the ba-4, ba-5,
11:37 am
as you just said, is going to provide an additional bit of oomph in terms of decreasing severity and maybe even decreasing spread. i think that's true. i like the formulation of this vaccine. people, critics will say, well, it's only really been tested in animals, but related vaccines have been tested in humans. i'm not worried about safety here. i'm wondering, and this is the key point, eric, i'm wondering how effective it's going to be to keep people out of the hospital. now, when the boosters came out in israel, bam, you saw clinical data right after, who got hospitalized and who didn't. the new cdc -- and, remember, they said last week they're revamping towards realtime information -- that's going to convince people to take the shot. if you got it and you were less likely to be in the hospital and i can say that on tv, that will help. eric: so you're saying when you see the third and fourth shot, you mean the boosters, and potentially this would be, like, what? a fifth this fall. clearly, you could still be
11:38 am
infected, people who have been vaccinated and boosted can still be infected. but what's so important, and i wanted you to bring this message home, is that you may not end up in the hospital, you may not end up as severely ill and sick as those who are still unvaccinated. >> hugely important. data all over the world shows that. and, by the way, i'm not talking about a fifth shot necessarily, i'm talking to a lot of people out will that maybe only had two, and we're waiting because they heard it wasn't going to prevent spread. the data shows clearly that the more shots you have, much less likely you are to end up in the hospital. and i think that's going to be true here. so i'm going to use this shot to argue to people that a maybe even didn't get a third shot. hay got the first series, and they said, well, i still got covid. and you know what i say to them, eric? and this also was mismessaged all through the pandemic. if they got the two shots and got covid, i tell them, well, that covid helps your immunity too. so the combination of immunity
11:39 am
wherever you can get it, from prior recent infection or from vaccine, helps you decrease severity. eric: that's great news. and finally, what may not be such great news, we may have to live with. dr. fauci says it's going into an endemic phase that this, you know, could be like the flu. let me play you what dr. fauci says about the fact that we may never get rid of covid, it may be here to stay. we'll just have to to learn how to deal with it. >> it's clear that we will get covid under control and make it much, much less impactful on our social order. but it's not going to be eradicated, and it's not going to be eliminated. the pandemic will likely essentially become more of an endemic situation, something that we can live with and doesn't disrupt us. eric: do you think, dr. siegel, that that's case? it's like the flu and we'll just have to deal with it and get boosted every year? >> i think we're there. i think he's always cautious and
11:40 am
