we extend sincere condolences to all the victims who have been affected. >> ashley: ezekiel kelly was supposed to be in bars at the time of the attacks, a judge sentences him for aggravated assault in 2021. >> todd: he was released after 11 months and the charge was downgraded from attempted murder. brooke singman has the latest. >> brooke: police confirm the suspect who was at large for almost 24 hours has been caught, here is what we know so far. 19-year-old ezekiel kelly is in custody for the serial shootings, victims include 24-year-old man killed around 1 a.m., another gunned down at

4:35 p.m. at bp gas station and a woman shot one minute later on a nearby road. he documented the murders in video on facebook. kelly was arrested after wrecking the stolen getaway car at 9:28 p.m. this image captures his big smile in the cop car minutes after his arrest. we are learning more, court records show he was charged with first degree attempted murder in 2020, employment of a firearm and reckless endangerment with a reckless weapon. kelly was released on march 16th of this year after searching only 11 months. former police officer says this massacre would never have happened with a functions

criminal justice system in place. >> such a depraved mind to shoot innocent people and want to broadcast it. this guy had charges, instead he gets a slap on the wrist, gets out of priz ong and goes on a murdering spree. bruk one day after the body of eliza fletcher was identified, suspect cleotha henderson is due back in court in just hours. he's facing first-degree murder charges and being held without bond. like kelly, henderson's criminal record began at age 11, convicted of rape at age 14 and went on to serve 20 years for kidnapping a well known attorney at gun point and forcing him to withdraw money from multiple a&m machines and memphis police are searching for a second suspect accused in the kidnapping of the mother and one year old in broad

daylight. >> todd: nearly 2000 runners gather tomorrow in memphis to finish eliza fletcher running route as way to honor memory and raise awareness for women's safety. here is video of eliza fletcher playing with her dog and singing to her studentss during a remote lesson. >> this little light of mine, i'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. >> todd: man, that is a gut punch as is that picture with her two little kids. fletcher leaves behind a husband and two beautiful boys. >> ashley: new homeland security reveals national security threat could have trickled through president biden's chaotic afghanistan withdrawal.

>> todd: the white house maintaining no one was allowed into the u.s. unvetted. griff jenkins will break it down. >> griff: turns out that chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan may pose greater national security risk than originally thought, this inspector general report found dhs lacked critical data to properly screen gance threats saying we determined information used to vet evacuees such as name, identification number and travel document data was inaccurate, incomplete or missing. we determine cbp paroled evacuees not fully vetted into the united states. that is a far cry from the promise the administration made a year ago, listen. >> we assure you no one is coming into the united states of america who has not been through a thorough screening and background check process. >> griff: now dhs acknowledges

individuals who could pose a threat may have been let into the country, the white house is defending the botched handling of the evacuation. >> cbp admitted or paroled evacuees not fully vetted into the united states, that is not good, that is different than what you guys said, how did this happen? >> that is not different than what we said, that report did not take into account the key steps in the rigorous and multi-layered screening and vetting process the u.s. government took. >> griff: republicans are blasting this as one of the administration's biggest failures. >> saw first 2000 refugees come in and had not been through the process and now the inspector general of the department of homeland security is talking about this and saying this is a threat to national security and to our local communities.

>> griff: expect to hear know ares pressing for transparency to know how many afghans are in the country now posing a threat. >> todd: that is the question. fo former assistant secretary of state is with us. you said this was going to happen despite the white house saying everything was okay and despite the white house saying everything was fine. as national security expert, what is most concerning part of this report from the ig? >> i tell you something, todd, most concerning thing from me, truth -- look, biden was routed, routed -- not only took with us 100,000 unvetted potential collaborators and members of the

taliban and left 100,000 of our allies there. imagine if we had ran away from northern france -- [audio difficulty] -- inspector generals are deep dives, that is what they are, everyone has a reason to get -- another example of botched rule of law, botched national security and botched the economy, it is disappointing. having spent time in afghan, for allies to be hunted down is a stain on our credibility for a

long time to come. >> ashley: two cases, evacuee who had broken out of prison by the taliban in august of 2021, since been brought back or taken by ice agents. how many more people do you think are in the united states right now? >> ashley, here is the problem, they don't show up and you saw pictures of the botched withdrawal, didn't use baghram. these people don't show up with documents, don't have passports, can't hit a computer button and say this is okay, this one is not. this is a long process. this is emblem attic of the way they look at national security. look at the southern border, the reality is what we did in

afghanistan was with textbook case of failure. >> todd: white house and dhs defending themselves saying the ig report did not take into account the screening by other agents, you understand how this works, your response to that. >> in the best of all worlds, vetting is difficult, when we vetted, i helped train and set up the training in afghanistan and iraq. best of circumstances, taking weeks to go through it, being careful about every aspect of interviews, etcetera, it is a very difficult process, to just drag the bottom and grab anybody that wants to jump on the plane and imagine a serious process at the other end, most people don't have documents, todd, no way to have effectively done that. what the ig said, there is uncertainty out there, when you simply grab people from a country like afghanistan,

dominated by the taliban, the very people we want to stop and bring a chunk of that home, you have no idea what you have collected. >> ashley: 69 million households are canceling vaoccasions, driving less and cutting back on groceries and that is all thanks to inflation, the economy is obviously top concern for millions of americans, is it enough when you have social issues like abortion to get people to vote republican, especially coming up in the midterms? >> you know, very interesting point, ashley. i look at polls daily for what they are worth. the economy outranks every other issue by 20%. why is that? the day that joe biden was inaugurated, gas was $1.98, today $3.75, 88% jump, that affects everything you do. groceries up 13%, used cars up

43%. i work with a group that, wos with older americans and the most disturbing thing, cost of rental housing nationwide is up 26% in one year. you want to devastate the impact they face on daily basis, inflation is the way to do it. what will happen, people will turn out to vote and it is a pocketbook issue, they will say, my kids, myself, my parents, we're all paying in somis cas twice or more than we paid a year and a half ago and we can't sustain that, manage the economy properly, reopen the energy sector and stop all this federal overspending. it is not rocket science, it is straightforward and most understand it at home. >> todd: more republicans say inflation is hurting them than democrats, could that explain the reason why this white house, run by a democrat and this congress, run by democrats has done nothing with regard to

inflation and focused on the green new deal and student loans. robert charles. failed candidate hillary clinton is not running for the white house, but making her presence felt appearing on "the view" to promote her new apple series and lash out as republicans. watch. >> my most fer vant hope is that republicans will begin to reject all of that verbally, vocally in their voting and kind of reconstitute the american party to where it used to be and not the party of trump, which is dangerous to the country. >> todd: clinton praising joe biden speech attacking maga republicans saying it was important to the country. kayleigh mcenany says it is not surprising sense hillary started the trend by calling the same group her basket of deplorables. >> kayleigh: she set the play

book, the wicked witch of the democratic party insulting the voting base. stacey abrams says georgia is worst state in the naegsz and charlie charlie crist saying you are a hater if you don't vote for him. going to joe biden calling out maga republicans. i made distinction on friday, my former boss punched back and attacked people, they were leaders, fellow political people, did not go on sustained campaign from the podium attacking half the country. >> todd: new york congressman aoc -- imagine working a job and your bosses don't like you and folks on your team are suspicious are you and the competing country is trying to

kill you? unlimited access to abortion and argue democrats must combat the very real threat of fascism, as far as presidential ambitions go, oklahoma says she has a front row seat to how consciously so many people in this country hate women and opened up about her relationship, admitting she wasn't sure she could marry a white man prior to her engagement, she didn't know if inner racial relationship was the right fit for her, we have jimmy failla coming up, on this, you don't want to miss that. >> ashley: columnist mocking former first lady melania trump thchl is price you pay when you are married to sticky-handed

president, put up with besmefrping of your panties by government hands, even gloved ones. many readers consider the raid an invasion of privacy. >> todd: who knew you could besmerch panty? >> ashley: terrifying look of what it is like to live in chicago, ambushed by mens with guns and robbed as she walked down the sidewalk in the middle of the day. neighbors shocked this happened on normally quiet street and we'll be talking to one of them. >> todd: judge ordering dr. fauci and karine jean-pierre to turn over e-mails, we'll tell you why next. ♪ (queen - we will rock you) ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

a terrifying moment in an upscale chicago neighborhood caught on camera. those robbers pulling a gun on a woman in broad daylight, shoving her to the ground and robbing her. bill pollard lives close to where this took place. could you believe this was

happening in what you thought was a pretty nice and safe neighborhood? >> no, we were trying to figure out if it was on her block or just somewhere in the neighborhood, either way, it was shocking and surprising. >> todd: average price for a home in your neighborhood $1.2 million. i think i will be in a really nice and safe neighborhood where i do not have to worry about stuff like this. in america, in 2022, is any place truly safe? >> no, i would think we would be very naive to believe that. it is just the environment that we all live in right now. i think there is a degree of concern that we all should have for our own safety. >> todd: crime is sky rocketing, robberies up 18%, motor vehicle

theft up 64%, total crime up 37%. where do you lay the blame, bill? >> bill: i think right now i can tell you there is a lot of finger pointing going on, the local politicians, the police, the prosecutors, all trying to identify that someone else is to blame for the issue. but i think that it is both a societal challenge, people feeling the need they have to be involved in this kind of behavior and then not enough being done when someone engages in this type of wrongful act. i think there is plenty of blame unfortunately to go around. i think what our neighborhood

and our folks are more focused on is how do we minimize this from happening again and protect ourselves and keep ourselves aware and vigilant. >> todd: the buck stops at the person in charge, in this case, it is mayor lightfoot. bill, where is she? >> in this instance, we voluntary heard anything. seen a good strong showing of the police, haven't heart much from alderman about this, seems like he's kicked it back to the people and in the neighborhood to do more about it. there has been enough instances of this type of crime going around that you would expect to hear more from your leadership. >> todd: bill, what are you doing to protect yourself? are you scared this could happen to you, your family? >> bill: so, you know, i guess

i'm vigilant and i'm thoughtful about what i do out in the neighborhood, keeping an eye out, when you hear the pattern of how this happened, you're looking for closely at cars slowly driving down the street. it is more about self-awareness and individual accountability for yourself and your surroundings, i've heard tell of other neighborhoods that are hiring private security to come protect the neighborhoods. i don't know if that is something our neighborhood will do or not, you hear i think thiss like that could happen, as well. >> todd: it is good you have your head on swivel just in life in general, keeps you on alert, but it is sad you have to do it in america in 2022, in new york city, chicago or a really nice

neighborhood in chicago. bill pollard, please stay safe, hope your neighbor recovers. thank you. >> ashley: and mayor lightfoot being sued by a reporter who was stripped of press credentials after this tense exchange in april. >> asking me how could you possibly consider running for re-election as mayor of the city of chicago after all the harm you have caused? >> i disagree with you fundamentally and i don't think i need to dignify your comments one second further. >> ashley: journalist william kelly claims lightfoot collaborated with the police superintendent fake a report saying he bumped into a police report used to provoke his press pass, lightfoot does not want perpoor performance to be exposed as she runs for

re-election. >> ashley: hand over e-mails from dr. fauci and karine jean-pierre, the biden administration accused of colluding with big tech to censure information on hunter biden and covid-19. rand paul sounded off on dr. fauci and other talks with big tech under wraps. >> america's doctor, leading expert on covid and public health doesn't want to divulge information, doesn't want to divulge big tech, he wants to cover up and try not to allow sunshine on any activities that should be a tip off as to his motives. >> ashley: last year jen psaki admitted her colleagues were flagging problematic posts for facebook after a fox news having

found teaching of far left ideas, curriculum included critical race theory, reparation, pro black lives matter material. adl fired back, saying we are proud we have helped millions of children learn to challenge bias, discrimination and hate against all people, we do not teach critical race theory, period. interesting. to this, shocking story out of las vegas, journalist brutally murdered after series of reports on government corruption. democratic lawmaker who was focus of that investigation, we'll walk you through last night's dramatic arrest. >> todd: like a movie. pennsylvania senate candidate john fetterman says he will debate mehmet oz, what changed? details next. >> considered out of bounds to

mention the fact john fetterman is incapable of representing the united states senate, we should be worried about this. if they can get this guy arrested statewide, they can do anything.

>> todd: police arresting democratic county official in las vegas for murder of local journalist who exposed troubling allegations against him. >> ashley: jackie ibanez will tell us more. >> jackie: the murder of an investigative reporter, series of articles written by investigator reporter jeff garman, exposing hostile work environment claiming emotional stress, bullying in tellez's

office. there were text messages exchanged between officials. this was released by the las vegas police department. he was seen walking around his neighborhood and taken into custody after hour-long stand off with swat agents and this vehicle was owned by tellez and . on june 18th, looking forward to lying, smearing piece number four by at jeff garman, one trick pony, i think he's mad i haven't crawled into a hole and died. las vegas review journal says garman was pursuing a follow-up story about tellez.

>> ashley: near lee 750 migrants have died trying to enter the united states this year, topping last year's border death toll by nearly 2000. here is cruz take on the nonissue. >> what is unusual is to see white house press secretary that will stand there and flat out lie. she was asked about people walking across the border and she said nobody is doing it in the last year and a half, four and one half million illegal immigrants have crossed the border because of joe biden's open border policy. >> ashley: dhs shall ifs say migrant death toll is likely higher as agency in mexico. >> herschel walker says people are finally seeing through the media. >> media will not say anything positive about me, but i've done

a lot of positive things, i'm out meeting the people and talking to the people and the people are speaking, they spent over 50 million against me, but the race is i tooed, i'm up by one and the reason why, if people want change in washington. >> todd: walker is leading by points in the race and raphael warnock has agreed to a -- john fetterman says he will debate his republican challenger mehmet oz, the democrat previously shut down the idea blaming the decision on health issues after suffering a stroke. mehmet oz's team says big news, john fetterman will debate at a secret debate, we don't know when or how, it is a secret. tucker karlson says democrats

want to brush aside serious concerns about fetterman's campaign. >> completely out of bounds to mention the fact john fetterman is incapable of representing pennsylvania in the united states senate. that fact and it is fact, is fine with the people who run the democratic party. they want the power. we should be worried, if they can get this guy elected in the nation's fifth largest state, with stupid and destructive ideas, man with no record of achievement, long list of documented failures and cannot think clearly, if they can do that, they can do literally anything. >> ashley: election day just two months away and new polling out of florida shows republicans ahead of democrats on ballot by two points, 48% to 46%.

luna is air force veteran running for congress in florida and joins me to discuss. thanks for being with us this morning. >> ink thats for having me on, ashley. >> ashley: 20% of florida voters say inflation is most important concern, and 12% believe abortion is the leading issue, sprinkle immigration in there with 10%, as well. if you were toin with, how would you convince florida voters to vote for you, especially when you have social issues that linger in bipartisan effort to get them to vote for you and how will you help people in florida? >> one thing that set me apart, i'm going to the people and talking to people at gas stations and grocery stores and seeing majority of people cannot afford the inflation in our

country and democrats try to move the conversation to talk about social issues, there are people impacted. talk about price of food, eggs have gone up over $2 in the last year or so since we've seen impact of inflation costs. i'm trying to bring table issues back to the conversation and bring common sense approach back to washington, d.c. >> ashley: people are canceling vacations and cutting grocery bills. i want to get to this, members of the air force are set to receive a pay cut ranging from $900 to $5400 next month as service faces financial services. couple of them are getting pay cuts, combat controllers, first sergeants, flying crew chiefs, air men assigned to air force projects, i don't know what that means, it sounds important, what do you think the repercussions

will be of the cuts. >> highest risk jobs in department of defense, combat control, members of security forces, rescuemen, when they sign on to do jobs risk their lives over a miscalculation of $3 million on the part of the air force on the heels of pack act 400 billion in spending that didn't go to veteran issues. it would have been better spent giving to members, it is unfortunate and they will continue to see issues with people enlisting in the service especially when it seems like government politicians are using veterans and not taking care of us to include active duty service members, as well. >> ashley: lawmakers would have to -- signed by the president, what is likelihood of that happening? >> i think they should do it as soon as possible, as you know, things in dc are moving slow and

so unfortunately, i think people for the next year might not see pay come back. >> ashley: your husband's form upper unit directly impacted by this cut, what does he say about this? >> he's furious, i've had a lot of people who are active duty reaching out on social media and these people are upset and feel abandoned by this administration and talk about combat control, two, three squadron, one of the most highly decorate in the department of defense, these people risk it everyday, we've asked them to sacrifice so much. >> ashley: thank you for getting up early with us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> ashley: mark cuban unleashing on progressives for tax policy, one person he is calling out by name. >> screw you elizabeth warren, you are everything wrong with

politics. >> ashley: okay, he didn't stop there, tell you what else he has to say. >> todd: perfectly cut clip. >> thermostat above 78 degrees, still feels cool beyond words, i worked into 78 degrees and felt like i needed a jacket. >> todd: really? critics turning up the heat on gavin newsom, our next guest is breaking down far left policies that got us to this point.

>> ashley: billionaire mark cuban is once again giving senator elizabeth warren piece of his main over calls to tax the rich. >> i don't mind being taxed more, it is most patriotic thing you can do after military service, pay your taxes, that allows everybody to live and pro prosper. screw you elizabeth warren, you are everything wrong with politics. >> ashley: cuban making those

statements in los angeles, the dallas mavericks owner and shark tank cohost arguing warren just likes to demonize people that are wealthy. todd. >> todd: okay, california governor gavin newsom being accused of piling on the layers while urging resident to conserve energy, take a listen to what he has to say. >> cool your home and make sure the thermostat is above 78 degrees, feels cool beyond words, i walked into 78 degrees and felt like i needed a jacket. >> a publisher joins me to react. mark, could the pr for gavin newsom be worse? he comes out saying ban gas-powered cars for electric cars and then oh, we can't provide enough electricity to keep people's homes cool in a horrible heat wave?

>> this is about the worst public relation campaign i've ever witnessed by any politician in the history of the country, let alone california. they ban gas-powered cars based on some ideology that they can just wave a magic wand, the very next day, announce you should not charge your ev's because the power grid can't handle it and gavin newsom is donning jackets and saying how cold it is and getting text alerts to say you can't use your tv because the california grid is collapsing. this would be a joke if policies stayed in california. this was self-inflicted, they did this to themselves, but a dozen states are following california's model and biden

administration praising california as though it is a visionary. this is utaupian vision gone bad with reality bites utopia is no more, california self-inflicted energy wounds are following green new deal policies. >> todd: it is 70 in the studio right now, if it were 78, i would be dripping on air and we're not in a heat wave, you can imagine in the desert, 120 degrees, 78 will not work. broaden this out for a moment, mark, does the green new deal do anything other than create suffering and shortages wherever it goes? >> no, they basically say we'll mandate it and magically it will happen and we're seeing not just california, we have dystopian vision of europe being ahead of california down the green new

deal pass and the eu came out and said flatten the energy curve in order to meet energy demand. this is getting weird dystopian feel, i write about this in "the perfect pandemic" they are imposing restrictions with energy because they created this based on green new deal ideology. europe is facing a physical lack of energy, europe is now at the point where they have gone beyond thermostat and banning hot water and energy and there is no way out at the moment because they created this over the last decade. the u.s. is following suit. this is a serious problem, not two weeks to flatten the curve issue great energy reset following a green new deal. >> todd: to be clear, climate, lites like john kerry say to

follow the european model, we should not because people are going to die there this winter because they can't heat their homes, how deadly will this winter be in europe? >> they are talking about, it is people fearing, talking about europe fearing winter like they did before the industrial revolution, seniors on fixed incomes. cold kills more than warmth, that is what we're facing. they have created massive food shortages with net zero green new deal policy, shutting down farmers in netherlands, canada and florida. this is based on if we shut down modern energy, we will have less hurricanes in the future. it is nuts and europe is the test case and it is looking

grim, they don't have the infrastructure and desperate for energy. >> todd: my big fear, mark, we will follow this, you and i are having this conversation, the climate elites don't get it, think we can undo what china and india are doing, the northeast is following the california model and we have deaths here in mass. thank you for being here and letting us know about the issue, it is scary, pay attention and wake up. >> we do, climate and energy lockdowns are here. thank you. >> todd: congresswoman aoc is weighing in on whether or not she will ever become president of the united states during a cover story gq interview. >> ashley: jimmy failla will talk about it and paxton, all ahead in the next hour of "fox and friends first."
