♪ happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ happy birthday... happy birthday to you ♪ god love you, kiddo. >> laura: [laughs] i can't do this! that's it for us tonight. our commander in chief >> todd: fox news alert, the biden administration ready to take legal action against republican governors for sending illegal immigrants to states. governor abbott and ron desantis are not backing down, vowing to send migrants to kamala harris's door step. i'm todd piro. >> carley: sanctuary city leaders at martha's vineyard declaring a humanitarian crisis

over 50 migrants that arrived on wednesday. griff jenkins has the latest. >> griff: good morning, the governors achieved one goal, they got attention. axios says they will meet today including litigation options after 50 landed on martha's vineyard and 101 were dropped off outside kamala harris's home yesterday, which she refuses to talk about. >>-- >> griff: president biden was willing to talk accusing republicans of a political stunt. >> instead of working with us on solutions, republicans are playing politics with human beings, using them as props. what they're doing is wrong, unamerican, reckless.

>> griff: on the tiny island paradise where many selel rities vacation, it is causing a crisis. >> some point in time, they have to move them somewhere else, right? we do not, we don't have the services to take care of 50 immigrants and certainly don't have housing, we are in a housing crisis. >> griff: the population of del rio, texas is 35,000, they had 50,000 encounters in july alone and martha vineyard population is 17,000 and they got 50 migrants. >> the minute a small fraction of what the border towns deal with is brought to their front do, they are upset. it shows their virtue signalling is a fraud. >> griff: california governor

gavin newsom weighing in, sending a letter to attorney general garland saying this, i urge doj to investigate whether the alleged inducement would support charges of kidnapping under relevant state law. the transports continuing, governor abbott says the buses will keep rolling to bring relief had his towns. >> carley: you were talking to migrants dropped off outside the vice president's house yesterday. did all the migrants say they knew they were going to the washington, d.c. area and signed up and agreed to go on the bus trip? >> griff: they did, carley, and you could see the pieces of paper they are holding because they were processed at the border and then released and texas offers them the opportunity to go on to a bus to new york or washington, d.c.,

they knew what city they were going to. whether or not they were told they were being dropped off outside the naval observatory is unclear and there were no people to meet the migrants, they came shortly after, we never saw the d.c.'s office. the standard procedure is to sign a release saying they are accepting this bus transport provided by the state of texas. >> todd: one of your exchanges going viral yesterday, it is talk of the nation, let's watch it again. >> the border is open, it is open, we enter and come from free. >> griff: it is open for you to come illegally, rights? >> illegally, right. we see on the news everybody coming illegally, we do the same. >> todd: that exchange making

headlines, anything else in your talks that didn't make air we should know about? >> griff: that is an important exchange and the reason why i asked that, i wanted it on record because the administration, the president and vice president won't go to the border. remember reporting on this show, we have gone to the pandamanium jungle and venezuela and gone from honduras through guatemala and the entire country of mexico to get to our border before they make this trek. the point that is not mentioned is most of these migrants are coming because of the success they saw of those who went before them and this is a psyche they'll is not stopping and has unprecedented toll on migrants. migrant deaths, 750 this fiscal

year, administration won't publish that number, i routinely get that scooped to me because it highlightss all the administration is saying they want to do the humanitarian thing, they are putting migrantss in danger. >> carley: good points, i believe in eagle pass, reports are requesting refrigerators to store bodies because so many people are drowning in the rio grand. back to the litigation front, curious about what they could be charging the states with. wasn't the biden administration flying migrants in the dead of night to areas like westchester county and got footage from westchester of the migrant flights. this is basically the same thing, take migrants and have them sign a document and ship them where they want to go, it is basically what catch and release is.

you catch them and release them to communities of their choice. how is this any different? >> griff: great points, carley and an important one. we saw yesterday karine jean-pierre try to split hairs saying if we do it, it is okay, if the governors do it, it is not okay. we'll see where that falls out cht the westchester midnight flights a perfect example. our colleague, bill melugin reporting the city of el paso edemocrat run city, is bussing migrants directly to new york city because they are overwhelmed, because the ngo's have no space and they are having a populous of migrants there. the city is bussing migrants to new york city, therefore, if you're going to bring litigation against abbotts, you can't

choose buses from del rio going to vice president kamala harris's home, yet el paso, it is okay. >> todd: perfect point. this is exhibit a and b to any lawsuit brought against the governors, it ends it, there is no rebuttal. >> carley: and lorilightfoot is -- pick who to litigate. >> todd: maybe he should stand down against ron desantis. >> griff: you are a lawyer, you will know, i am not. you have to have an injured party to have standing in that lawsuit. you can't have partial harm, you are harmed if a red state governor does it, but if a blue state mayor does it, it is not

an injury. >> todd: great point. this is not about law, this is about i'm running in 2024, everybody look at me. great job. thank you. with that, bring in texas rancher von box. von, you heard that discussion with griff jenkins and you heard that woman from martha's vineyard saying these people have to leave, we can't handle it. don't you laugh when you hear welcoming liberals complaining of a crisis called by 50 migrants? >> it's pretty appalling, it puts their hypocrisy on display. they never thought they'd have to see these people. it proves to the hispanics and the blacks, as well, they don't want the people, they want their votes. >> carley: how is illegal immigration crisis impacting you

and your ranch? >> well, carley, we're about, les than 50 miles from the border. we have a good bit of foot traffic, not as bad as those closer to the border. generally the ones that get as far in on foot as where we are are those, the bad guys trying to avoid law enforcement and we have a lot of fence damage and that type of stuff and of course, they are wandering through and breaking into homes and that kind of thing. america has 328 ports of entry and they are not using them, they are coming through areas that aren't protected, where we can't monitor who is coming in. >> todd: von, you hear about this is not humane, this is inhumanity at its worst. isn't it more humane for the migrantss to be in martha's

vineyard this time of year when it is stunning there, than trying to survive in the texas desert? >> you know, todd, good point. really the inhumane thing is policy and practices of the biden administration, they have turned every woman and child in the poor countries into a target for the cartels to traffic, that is the inhumane thing. there is probably been a whole lot more deaths of these immigrants due to the cartels than there has been to the weather. >> carley: latest from white house press secretary karine jean-pierre on the southern border. listen to this. >> what we have been doing is doing the work that wasn't done by the last administration. we are fixing a broken system, it is not like turning the light switch on, it will take some time. >> carley: so she says that the biden administration is fixing a

broken system that the trump administration created. what is your reaction to that? >> it is interesting, carley, the democrats, the liberals, they have been basically telling these people for decades what they're going to do for them. and absolutely they have failed the hispanics and the blacks, trump's administration came in and did more for these people than a number of the past democratic presidents combined. >> carley: von box, thank you for joining us this morning, we appreciate it. >> yes, ma'am, thank y'all. >> carley: absolutely. all right, house speaker nancy pelosi is in trouble, don't take it from us, senate majority leader chuck schumer is telling top democrats they should not expect to keep control of the house and that is not all he had to say. >> todd: ashley strohmier has

details on the concerns. >> ashley: despite nancy pelosi's public optimism, senator chuck schumer is singing a different song. chuck schumer told democrats if the election were held today, there 60% chance they would hold the senate and 40% they would hold the house. adding nancy pelosi could be in you believe tr. he believes trump will run in 2024. people say president biden has struggled to unite the country. >> the country was already divided to an extent extent, biden didn't help. >> he is trying to be a unifier, it is rough right now. >> everything he is doing is totally the wrong thing. >> carley: there has been criticism of the gop not having a solid platform to run on, house minority leader made it

clear what they will do when they win back the house. >> we're going to unite america with a plan, restore america to where we need to be commitment to america, make us energy independent, bring back the supply chain from china to america to create american jobs, let parents have a say in their kid's education and hold these government accountable. >> carley: recent poll shows americans believe the biden administration is incomtent and not effective with 52% not having faith in the administration. inflation fears with 78% americans, many saying inflation is causing financial hardship. separate poll, party preference was close. 44% saying they would vote for a democrat in their district and 41% republican. back to you, guys. >> todd: growing number of

hispanic voters are flipping from democrat to know are citing border security top concern can hispanics demanding tougher bo border -- >> carley: a fellow at job creator network joins us now. daniel, good morning. hispanic support for president biden is dropping across the board, not just in border areas. according to "new york times" college poll 63% of hispanic voters disapprove of the president right now, why do you think that is? >> i think it is happening because the democrat party has to radicalize, has failed to deliver on economic issues hispanics care about, right? the democrat party is standing with teacher unions instead of parents that care about education, especially immigrant

families. and radicalizing themselves on transgender issues, things that used to be basic and both parties used to agree on and we have failed on the inflation. people from venezuela experience hyper inflation and we don't want to see that here. >> todd: democrats welcomed the crisis at the southern border, they think mostly latino migrants will be -- how misplaced is that confidence, daniel? >> well, there's one message we need to change about hispanic voters, about immigration affectss democracy. first two in three were born in the united states, they are not immigrants. asimulation is happening over time and that is good, hispanics

will look more like the average american. second, border security is not everything, the only thing that matters in immigration policy. democrats failed to deliver on immigration are. hispanic voters have to choose between democratic party that has not delivered on the economy or immigration and the republican party, you know, maybe you don't agree with everything issue but the economy is well, you will vote republican. that is what we're seeing now and even democrats who are not party leaders should be happy about this, think about it for a minute. it is better to have a country where people are not ruled by race than to have -- better to have where people is not defined by their skin color. >> carley: historically, the democratic play book has been to

try and attract hispanic voters by giving out handouts, welfare and saying they are the compassionate party. how much influence do you think that has on hispanic voters now? no group is a monolith, we think in terms of voting blocks, what do you think of that? >> what we saw from 2016 to the 2 2020 election, we saw in new york city, the bronx shifted to president trump and it was specifically because of dot min can american population in the bronx, just like the south american population shifted to trump, the mexican population shifted to trump. this is happening across the country issue not just related in the rio grand valley, not just about venezuelas and cubans who care about socialism, this

is happening everywhere because because of the economy and we have broken the stereotype because you are born in hispanic family you need to go democrat, that is what the party is scared of, right? we have broken the stereotype holding back people from considering republicans because they are racist and all the lies that aren't true, and instead, now people consider candidates based on proposals. >> todd: if democrats cared about the hispanic vote and hispanics in general, they would care about the border, the borders are made up of 80% hispanic, latino individuals. great point, daniel, got to leave it there. >> carley: thank you. president biden wants big tech to do better job of watching your speech online, part of his push for unity.

>> carley: a federal judge officially appointing a special master to review documents seized at former president trump's mar-a-lago home. >> todd: brooke singman has the latest. >> brooke: raymond deary has been tasked as special master to review the documents seized from president trump's mar-a-lago home. deary served from 1986 to 2011 and later served on the foreign intelligence surveillance court. federal judge cannon refused to let the justice department continue review of classified documentss. here ruling stating the court does not find it appropriate to accept the government conclusion on important and disputed issues without further review by a

neutral third party in expedited and orderly fashion. some say the appointment of special master underscores lack of trust in the justice department. >> we have an honor system, you can trust us and the judge said we are not willing to accept your representation, strong statement the judiciary no longer trust the fbi to follow the honor system. >> brooke: fox news poll reveals 65s % of voters feel it was inappropriate for the former president to take the documents in the first place. the fbi said it recovered documents, including 100 with classified markings. deary will review and segregate do you wants covered by claims of privilege. judge cannon is urging deary to complete review by november 30th. >> carley: thank you, president biden demanding an end to

special immunity for social media companies that allow the spread of hate. >> president biden: white supremacist will not have the last word and this venom and violence cannot be the story of our time. polls, social media platforms accountable for spreading hate and violence. >> carley: after a report revealed several major tech companies are spying on user messages and reporting to the fbi. a whistleblower telling the post, it was a waste of our time, they were gun-toting red-b red-blooded americans, nothing about assassinating anyone. wow. congressman byron donald says the gop is the party of unity and the president is putting up a facade. >> joe biden presents himself like an autocrat and fascist, but these are activities of a

facist and autocrat. republicans are fighting for the soul of america, for democracy. we want people to speak their mind and be comfortable in that ability, if you can't do that, we can't get to what ails us. americans need to pay attention now, he does not tolerate debate, he yells in the microphone, we need to have know hoest conversations in the united states if we're going to get back on track. >> todd: shocking allegation of doj targeting, this time going after a veteran-led organization for pushing anti-government criticism, that is allowed under first amendment. in a letter to wray, jim jordan says "the fbi maintained terror designation on american contingency despite investigating the organization and founder and the group does charitable work on behalf of

communities devastated by natural disasters," and let that sink in. the fbi denied the claim saying the fbi cannot designate domestic terrorist organizations and can never open an investigation based on first amendment activity. take a look at this, horrifying home invasion caught on camera.

robbed over the past year. tom wong was a life-long san francisco residents. you lived there your whole life, but you recently moved to the suburbs, tell us why. >> it is because of the lawlessness and drugs and the homelessness and the city is just dirty and crime ridden and there is no clear end to it. >> carley: i know, it's -- go on. >> no, my business was robbed, it was broken into. my equipment was robbed. my vehicle is constantly being broken into. there is open drug use, a client site is next to the safe injection site and the street is literally filled with drug dealers, probably about 15 or 20 drug dealers around the clock on

the same block, one block. residents are scared, i can barely protect his home and it is just really, really bad right now. tom, you own a private security company and you just said it was robbed. there is some sad and terrible irony and your security company being robbed. what did they take? >> they took a lot of equipment, computers, construction equipment, couple of shirts and uniforms and stuff. it was really bad. >> carley: i really think when it comes to homelessness issue, it is crime and homelessness and they go hand? hand, if there is line between compassion and enabling behavior, san francisco chronicle reported homeless

encampment cost the city $60's,000 per year per tent. you can get a tent for a couple hundred bucks, what is your reaction to that? >> that money is not getting to people that really need it. that's a lot of money, we could have helped a lot of people if it was respondent wisely, but it's not. >> carley: san francisco used to be one of the most beautiful cities in the country. how did we get here? >> it breaks my heart to see that. i was born and raised in san francisco, a home i knew and loved. we got here because of the district attorney, we're loose on crime, we have open drug use. we're a sanctuary city, just it doesn't work, policies don't work, it is feel good slogan, but it doesn't work and we need to change that. >> carley: you're not alone, so

many people are leaving san francisco because of the issues and you have to wonder if more of the hard-working good folks leave this city that is crumbleing and turning into this awful drug fuelled homeless area, what is going to happen in the future? tom, thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> carley: all right, turning to this, conservative journalist accusing major media outlet of trying censure him regarding john fetterman. >> todd: they keep jacking up the prices, we're talking to a mom who is pretty disappointed coming up. mahindra is the official tractor of tough. right, chase? yep. that's right, tony. this baby's got four thousand pounds of

party celebrating passage of the inflation reduction act. >> high costs are really hurting families, which is why we've done the work that we have done the past several months and we'll continue to make sure we find ways that -- to lower costs for families. >> carley: latest report shows americans are seeing double-digit increases on fuel, food and power. prices up 8.3% compared to last year. >> todd: too woke to work, bashing theme parks claiming they are plagued with broken rides and facilities and ticket prices are not going down. tina ramireshg z goes to disney every year with her daughter and she joins me now. tina, describe the decline in the park you have seen. >> we go to disney every year,

my daughter is seven and loves it. the last time we went, it's gotten worse. you are right, the parks are dirty and the rides are falling apart. worse than that, you pay so much to go in and every year you get less and less and feel you are being gorged as a family and families can't afford that. every family like mine, we sacrifice to go and should be a magical experience. when you go into the park, you are being pushed political agenda on you and your family. families just can't afford it anymore. families like mine, i'm a single mother and i work hard to take my daughter to disney. we are making other plans and disney needs to be aware of that, they have alienated the families they are trying to

serve. >> todd: pop up a video of most magical place. long lines and rides breaking down, small world, an hour in small world. i believe that is splash mountain, where a boat sank, that is not supposed to upon ha, not part of the experience. smaller food portion and really weird food, according to some. to your point, not like they are lowering ticket prices, they are raising them. $199 for one day, two days for $326. how can the average american afford this place anymore, tina? >> they can't and that is the whole point. it used to be a place that was fun for families, all families. i'm a single mother and work

hard to provide for children. people should be able to go and meet up like princesseshg s and have a magical experience. disney has lost its magic. in an attempt to push their woke agenda, attire of the staff now scare my daughter. they are rude and unpleasant. it is not a magical experience and what you are paying for, you are not getting. if you splurge on a big ticket, it would be worth it if you were getting that magical experience, but you're not. with inflation, cost is twice that for the average family when you put gas and food prices and everything else. they are alienating families that have been lifelong disney fans and want to be there and that is unfortunate, it is all about the bottom line and their

political agenda. they will feel the effects of that. >> todd: you're not the first to say as the woke goes up, the magic goes down, that is not what the average american family wants. tina ramireshg z, hope it improves, don't think it will. hope your income destination is good, appreciate it. and message coming from chuck schumer, what he's telling his party and believes nancy pelosi is in trouble. >> carley: joe concha, burgess and ashley moody and later on jam-packed "fox and friends first," keep it here.

double-digit surges with many saying defund the police move mentz is to blame. the force is stretched thin and burned out. jeff rash is joining me, he is a retired police chief. one thing officers say, there aren't enough police officers in their department. why is this happening and what does this mean for public safety? >> yeah, thanks for having me, carley, you are right law enforcement are speaking out, they ared and overburdened with the crime wave going on across the united states. we have good leaders coming up with new initiatives and using modern-day technology and doing things to make their department more efficient to be able to combat this crime wave. >> carley: it shouldn't be that

way, every police department should be funded and staffed at a level that is acceptable for the number of people, number of people in their city and if you look at the numbers, in new york city, the police department down 1500 officers, philadelphia down 1300, chicago 517, seattle between 250 and 350 officers needed there. because of that, crime is going up, when crime goes up, new recruits say it is too dangerous to become a police officer now, it is a vision cycle, how do you break it? >> yeah, certainly the numbers speak for themselves and this is the world we live in today. we look at why is this happening, so soft-handed approach of the prosecution, is it breakdown of the criminal justice system? it is a number of things, that is what law enforcement has to dissect and build a plan to overcome, whether from

recruiting or maintaining current staffing levels. we talk about defunding or funding, i think law enforcement, we signed up and knew what was the job paid when we signed up. the target is now seem to be turned on the backs of law enforcement today. a split-second decision can mean their life could be ruined for the rest of their life. there is a negative narrative, anti-hate police has kicked in now and it is causing havoc and wave of law enforcement leading the profession. >> carley: do you think city leadership and cities across the country are getting the message? do you think police will feel supported in the future? >> there are cities and towns that are on track to providing support for law enforcement. i live in florida and governor

desantis has done amazing for florida. there are droves of officers moving from different states to florida to be a law enforcement officer. great things are happening here in florida. >> carley: we can take a good example of florida and hopefully repeat it across the board and other cities. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> carley: the next hour of "fox and friends first" starts right now. "fox and friends first"ed, biden administration ready to take legal action against republican governors for sending illegal immigrants to democratic cities. governor abbott and ron desantis are not backing down, supporting their move to send immigrants to martha's vineyard and right to vice president kamala harris's door step. >> todd:
