questioning your marriage back or you don't really have the high ground here, buddy! that's the part i think it's a disgusting. >> todd: i've always said, we've talked about as i feel like when you want to learn about being above the law, you take your advice from -- take a listen. >> no one is above the law, and the rule of law in a democracy -- core [applause] has to be our standard. but we should not rush to judgment. we should take it seriously, we should be concerned about it, and we should follow the facts and the evidence. >> todd: we are living in the death of shame because i say this all the time because of the women or james comey famously said, yeah, she broke the law, but in the interest of the country, we are going to let go because she got the equivalent of a cop picking you up drunk driving and tell you to take the back roads and go home decor

she says this is the reason she can't run. my experience has given me a front row seat had a deeply as well as consciously and unconsciously, people in this country hate women. jimmy, as a man, do you know any man who hates women? >> i got to be honest with you. no. women happen to be really -- there are big deal. i don't mean to let the cat out of the bag, but we kind of really like women, capable and multiple fashions come in multiple forms, but again, this is the scam of a seat of that some people that hear this and there likely! what are you talking about? i'm trying not to get too specific, but this is the thing. when you're aoc and your only catering to people whose emotions are the facts, you can get away with this. people buy into this because of all the things we just excited about the successful women of color, no one hates you because of your gender or sexual orientation in 2022. some people just need to accept

that their a-holes. they don't hate you because of your motivations are speck of people are just people. no person has the monopoly on good or bad or happy or sad. the view is one for every shape our site because she just doesn't want to on that. >> ashley: i do not think america hates women. that is 100%, in my opinion. >> get one of those tenants for my room that just as women. echo the phone finger for women. the middle finger for aoc. >> ashley: jimmy, thank you. sunday of march 21 years since the 9/11 terror attacks and over two decades later, first responders are still fighting for their health benefits. >> todd: the brother of honor our fallen hero raj is battle to cancer two years ago join the snacks with his right to protect those who put their lives on the line. that tragic day and during ple the aftermath and since pain relievers

>> ashley: a new report reveals refugees were allowed into the u.s. arm vetted during last year's chaotic afghanistan withdrawal. >> todd: but the white house insists nobody should be concerned about the vetting process. take a good morning. turns out that disastrous withdrawal may pose a greater national security risk than originally thought this inspector general report finds dh has lacked critical data to properly screen against threats saying this pack up and what we determined the information you give at evacuees for u.s. government databases such as name, date of birth, identification number and travel document data was inaccurate, incomplete, or missing. we also determined cbp admitted or parole at evacuees who are not fully vetted into the united states." that the park right from the promised the administration made a year ago. >> assure you that no one is coming into the united states of

america has not been through a thorough screening and background check process. figure now as dh is acknowledges individuals who could pose a threat may have been led into the country, the white house is defending the botched handling of the crisis. figure that the dhs inspector general who says cbp admitted or paroled evacuees who are not fully vetted into the united states. that is not good. that is different than what you guys that, so how did this happen? because not different than what we have set. that very report did not take into account the key steps in that rigourous -- you heard from us, rigourous and multilayered screening and vetting process the u.s. government took. >> meanwhile, republicans are blocking this is one of the administration's biggest failure is in the ranking member of the senate homeland security committee is pushing for transparency. >> we don't know how many afghans are in this country who

pose a national security threat, but we know that there are a few dozen based on what the fbi has told us. >> but it's unclear at this point that there will be any further transparency. there are no hearings schedule, our next steps in the wake of the inspector general's report. >> ashley: thanks, great. it has been 21 years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks and first responders are still fighting for health benefits. after former nypd detective, luis alvarez, 40 to expand the victims compensation fund before his death in 2019 >> you all that you would never forget. you made me come down here the day before my 69th round of chemo. i'm going to make sure that you never forget to take care of the 9/11 responders. >> ashley: his brother, joe alvarez is the member relations

ambassador to the world trade center health program. he joins me now. thank you so much for getting up with us this morning. your brother, he died post-9/11, but ultimately, he went into the middle of that as a member of the nypd -- i'm sorry. this is -- it's hard to hear. it's hard to see because my husband, he is an nypd officer. he has lost brothers and sisters from this post illness that they suffered from, so how are you keeping your brother's memory alive, and all of these people that we lost? we are working on getting his shot back up, but just a couple of things to follow up on. thousands of people have suffered from this, whether it be the people who died, the

people who are still fighting to get health care, which is the main focal point of this entire story. you heard lou is what they called him. we have his brother, phil, back. i don't know if you got what i said earlier, but how are you keeping the memory of your brother alive and really carrying on with what he sta started? >> i think it's a process where we always talked about never forgetting, and that was the motivation for my brother when he first found out he was sick. i'm currently the member relations ambassador at the world trade center health program in stony brook. everyday, i see at 9/11 first responders who are sick or worried about getting sick, getting their visits, and once again, when we say never forget, we need to speak about these

books coming into my clinic everyday, and some of them scared to death that some of the 9/11 illnesses that have taken their brothers and sisters are going to catch up to them. we need to remember them. we need to keep in mind that the programs need continued funding for research. lately, we've done a lot of research that shows other illnesses that are more common to the folks that had boots on the ground down at ground zero than the general population, and we need to keep figuring out what's coming up. many have said we are going to continue to get hit very hard. >> ashley: well, what is going on as far as getting people their health benefits? you would think that this would be a number one priority, not

only for the state of new york and the city of new york city, but also for the federal government. are we feeling our nypd officers, our fd and why, anyone who went to 9/11 and put their lives on the line for us? >> well, that remains to be seen. many of us 9/11 advocates are making sure that we do not feel them by continuing to bring out information about funding and make sure that continues. that remains to be seen. my brother was the 222nd nypd officer to die in the line of duty from effects of the terrorist attack on 9/11, 2001. that was 2019, and i can guarantee you that it's been many more since then. lets hope we are not failing, and just -- we say never forget, let's continue to remember them in the ways that they need us to

remember them. >> ashley: right. k. a 15, thank you so much for being with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me, actually. have a great day. >> todd: president biden gaining in popularity with young voters just weeks after signing off on student loan handouts that could cost you that, the taxpayer, about $1 trillion. how can republican compete with that? allie beth stuckey has a plan. allie beth stuckey has a plan. she' a ds next. because my eyes don't shy from the light. my head doesn't pound. and my stomach isn't nauseous. it's time for migraine prevention delivered differently, through an iv infusion. it's time for vyepti - a preventive treatment for migraine in adults. vyepti is designed to start working fast, and to last with a 30-minute iv infusion, 4 times a year delivering 100% of the medication directly into your bloodstream. the power of a vyepti infusion can help to reduce monthly migraine days.

"big ♪ ♪ john fetterman has agreed to debate at a secret debate because we don't know when, we don't know how we are a big secret." >> todd: president biden is quite gaining popularity with young voters and the rams up in the push for climate change, abortion, and student loan handouts. university poll shows biden's approval among voters ages 18 to make 24 up 19 points over the last month. >> todd: 316 of the host of the relatable part because he

joins us in a book i'm told you have a plan that republicans are used to counteract this record is that plan? >> well, it's basically anything other than what they're doing right now. president biden, even though he is up in the polls with these young voters, perhaps because of young people's support of abortion and their anger over the job's decision, because of his support for student loan debt "cancelation" because they may support by the but still, he has given republicans ample material. literally unless material from his failures all the way from the beginning of the present day-to-day. yes, things like gas prices are lower, but people are still really feeling the heat from biden's economic decisions looks, this administration is radical when it comes to social issues back a radical when it comes to abortion back a radical when it comes to things like so-called gender transition. a lot of, at least my cohort, i'm not in the youngest cohort anymore, billy and the kind of

millennial, suburban mom cohort that is leaning more democrat in the most recent years, who really still can be swayed by pointing out the radicalism of joe biden. right now, i'm not saying we shouldn't be talking about what the doj is doing to donald trump because of course that is atrocious, that is not going to win back the midterm election because we've got to be focusing on biden pick a we've got to be focusing on the offense because, as i said, he gives us unless material to point out just whata bad president he is and his party is. >> ashley: the g.o.p. says that they're going to focus on inflation because they are to focus on crime. you would think that those will be in the forefront of people's minds, but when you look at it, 19% jump in just a month that it is eight >> interpreter: 24, you mentioned abortion and then you got to talk about the cost of the student loan and is not zyrtec obviously, that age range

is important for that group of people, so how is the g.o.p. going to get the votes, and not even the vote, but just the attention of that age because right now, it doesn't seem like they have it. >> oh, for people, young people, people in other demographics, if they are pro-abortion, and if that's what they're looking for, unfettered abortion access, which the majority of the country is in, but for those who are, they are probably not going to vote for a republican bear, strategy would not be to tell a republican you should back off from that, you should pretend that you're not really pro-life, you should pretend that your moderate on this issue, when really are quite conservative because i think the messaging around abortion, what abortion is, why it is so extreme, why the president is so extreme and so flip-floppy on abortion would be a better and more effective message than what some republicans seem to be doing with his kind of backing down on it. looks, but the people who are hard-liners on abortion, your

puppy not going to be able to win back their woodpecker that would not be my concern. my vote would be a lot of the people in the middle, and fortunately believe the information that women aren't able to get miscarriage care. a lot of the propaganda. which those people with real information, with the truth about it. i'm just not sure republicans have stopped being on the defense about it. >> ashley: allie stuckey, thanks for getting up with us. we appreciate it. mckibbon unleashing a progressive for the tax policies, but there was one person he is calling out by name to policy to cover the cost per view, elizabeth warren. you're everything wrong with politics. >> todd: the backdrop we've ever done. will tell you what else he had to say coming up. ♪ ♪ have the right partner by your side. hyland's naturals leg cramps quick dissolve tablets. no water needed. no stomach upset. just fast, effective relief. hyland's naturals leg cramps.

what happened to the transparency that he promised? by the way, i think he's not doing any tv interviews because if that did happen with even a halfway decent journalist, it is certain he would be asked about how he plans to pay for that trillion dollar student loan forgiveness program your destructive physic in sticky about you, but the inflation reduction act the cost is $750 billion that won't reduce inflation, why he refuses to visit the u.s. southern border is millions of migrants continue to enter illegally along with fentanyl that is killing younger back and that an alarming rate before the interview in going to happen, certainly not before the midterms because this president and his handlers are coward's way or they don't want to face anything regarding scrutiny and taking a question here and there are a press conference is a lot different than a one-on-one because the interviewer can ask follow-up questions if the president is lying and they know that they don't have a winning argument on all the things i just mention because there is no winning argument when it comes to those policies.

>> todd: by dint in an ap interview on june 16, but i think to ashley's point, joe biden does better in polling on the hide joe biden there at the white house. want to give your thoughts on -- >> b does make a little point in that, it might be ago ap is a wire service because that's not a journalist from a major newspaper, so i just want to make sure that people understand that there is a difference in there. >> todd: the white house saying president biden the g.o.p. bashing speech was not divisive. take a listen. >> people have talked about if it was divisive. it wasn't divisive. he also asked for people to come together. it didn't matter if you're a republican or independent or a democrat. >> todd: okay, job you can grab a pen, those of you playing along as well so we can divisive to the list of words that the left and right is attending the depression of the copy of recession, mostly peaceful, women, nor divisive. because that's right or

inflation also. we are at zero invasion right now, apparently. of course, karine jean-pierre believes that speech wasn't divisive because she is a repeated election denier in thing to elections won by republicans and donald trump and jada governor bryan come, they actually were stolen because those are her words, her tweets. this is what one of the most divisive speakers within from any president because this speech particularly stood out because the president continues to try to give the higher moral ground thing you want to unify americans, all while at the same time penning americans against each other. this is, in the end, all about keeping power, nothing more. the midterms are coming in under two months before this is to fire up the base because midterms are base elections, and to do it this way and not understand the damage that you're doing, i'm sorry. if i were your the joe biden is the great unifier again, there's not much you can really say in terms of the reaction to coach is not the person that he is and not the person, certainly, that campaigned to bring this country

together. >> ashley: i have to agree. joe concha, thanks so much. >> great to see you again. take care. >> ashley: record number of migrants have died at our southern border this year under president biden, so where's the outrage from democratic attorney general ken paxton is your next. >> todd: steve, you stole somebody today. >> i'm sorry? >> todd: use all the next all somebody today. >> what are you talking about? >> todd: carley shimkus, she's going to be sitting next to you. unless my notes are wrong. >> and you're all along right now. >> todd: in 10 minutes, carley will be there. >> we pre-installed? >> todd: presteeling. >> coming up on "fox & friends first," carley shimkus is going to join us because -- fox sports

thanks for getting up with us this morning. >> thank you. good morning. >> good morning to you. when you talk about the migrant deaths at the southern border, so far in 2022, these are just the deaths that we know about. obviously there are probably many, many more. there has been 748. when you look at it from a democrats' standpoint, they will cry about a lot of things. but this is one thing they are not crying about is this humanitarian crisis that is happening right on our soil. >> yeah. and they claim that they are allowing all these people in because it's a humanitarian crisis. at the same time as the numbers go up, we have seen the numbers of people dying, a number of migrants dying along with the number of americans dying more drugs and crime comes across. the biden administration has made a decision we know the number of deaths are going up for migrants. we know they are going to go up for americans. we are willing to trade that to get more illegals here. they don't seem to care about the number of deaths. >> todd: i find this point is

fascinating both you and ashley are making. this administration pretends to care about a number of issues as the midterms approach. have you seen what they have done on crime. they have come out and said oh, we never said we wanted to defund the police. we have always been for funding the police when, in fact, that's a lie. on their of the border a.g. paxton, they have been absolutely silent and absent. why do they keep ignoring it? is it strictly because they know that they have got as we look at the wall, 2,242,000 new democratic voters? >> i think that's it. they are willing to trade these lives. going to happen again. we just had 13 migrants i do in the river because of flooding. 15 in san antonio in a truck. they number the numbers are going up. as much as they talk about why they are doing it humanitarian reasons, they don't do anything to protect these people. and don't do anything to protect americans as more drugs come across the border. >> ashley: it's just scary it

seems only if you watch fox news you see it. any other place you don't get it. you are getting to that group of people. the sheriff of maverick county, texas, in the eagle pass sector says the border crisis is taking a major toll on his deposit at this time. we are doing two jobs doing what he would supposed to do and immigration problem now they are human beings. they are family men. it effects them. not only is it the stressors of having to see something so traumatic as that but you are also having to deal with immigration as well as being a sheriff's deputy. at what point even though this sheriff hired 10 more deputies at what point do the deputies say i'm throwing in the towel, i can't take this from auto mental standpoint anymore because i have no backing from the administration. >> you see a lot of complaints from mayors in these cities where governor abbott is busing

and they are dealing with a few hundred or a few thousands. these people are dealing with thousands every day. we have over 5,000 a day coming across the border. and over time. and we have been dealing with this since the biden administration came into being. this puts tremendous stress on border towns and law enforcement. not just these sheriffs but also state police and other law enforcement. and just city services. county services and state services. we are overwhelmed. >> todd: what happens when these individuals, when these sheriffs, when these deputies start quitting en masse. what does the federal government do then? can they continue to ignore? >> they seem not to care. i think the fact that these people will start quitting we will end up with more crime and more problems. even more overwhelming. it doesn't seem like the biden administration considers those issued at all. they just want to get the numbers up and as many people here as possible as fast as possible. >> todd: attorney general ken paxton always appreciate you coming on the program and

letting us know what is really happening at the border. it's scary. not just for texas but the nation. we appreciate it? >> thank you. have great day. >> todd: you as well. great welcome you, my friend. >> ashley: great being with you as well thanks for having me. >> todd: you always thank me. i'm not in charge of this decision. >> ashley: not your turf. >> todd: "fox & friends" starts right now with another friend in the center seat, carley. ♪ ♪ >> 19-year-old suspect in custody after a violent shooting spree broadcasts on social media. >> this guy had charges. >> we got to this point because of failures of the left to treat criminals as the criminals they are. >> no one is coming into the united states has not been through a thorough screening. >> inspector general's report stating that the biden administration put national security at risk. >> dhs lacked critical data to properly screen. >> a lot of people got on those airplanes that had nothing to do with
