business owners like yourself deal with? this is crazy town and can't happen anymore. thank you for coming on the program and letting us know about the program, it is ridiculous, something needs to be done. best of luck, sir 6789 with that, the 5 a.m. hour of "fox and friends first" begins right now. a fox news alert, former president trump firing back overnight after new york state attorney general james happeneds down quarter of billion lawsuit against the trump family citing persistents, fraudulent practices. you are watching "fox and friends first" on friday morning. >> the lawsuit follows through on campaign promise to target donald trump and take him down. turns out the media pretty happy about it. >> carley: it is an extraordinary public service

she's done and i am grateful for that. >> tried to tell us, i've been shouting from the rooftops, he's a con, he's a fraud. >> todd: brooke astor has more on all of it. brooke. >> brooke: the lawsuit from james accuses the former president and his family of financial fraud, which includes lying to his lenders and insurers by overvaluing his properties and claims they inflated his net worth. >> donald trump engaged in years of illegal conduct, claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the art of the deal, it is the art of the steal. >> carley: president trump says banks have a responsibility to stakeholders to conduct their own valuation before giving to a

business and trump believes this is culmination of years of political targeting. >> she said we're going to get him, she came after us, we have been going through this years, i was under impression she wanted to settle. how do you pay something if you are not guilty, this is continuation of a witch hunt that began when i came down the escalator at trump tower. >> carley: legal experts including former attorney genbar bar says there is no legal basis for james actions. >> this woman campaigned for office promises to go after trump, what persuades me this is overreach, she went after the children, she says they conspired, no evidence they played a role in this. >> brooke: james opponent accused her of turning around

her falling poll numbers, back to you. >> todd: does letitia james have a case? here is what mccarthy thinks, watch. >> professional prosecutors looked at this and decided not to bring it, the fact james found something and bragg and vance to get trump's financial records, professional prosecutors didn't find something criminal, but she did is highly unlikely. >> carley: from one lawsuit to another, the former president furiously defending his rights for the documents seized from his mar-a-lago home last night. >> if you are president of the united states you can declassify by saying it is declassified because you are sending it to mar-a-lago or wherever you send it and it doesn't have to be a

process, there can be a process, there doesn't have to be. you are the president, you make that decision. >> they took a lot, i think they took my will. where is it? i think they took my will. >> carley: a judge panel is allowing justice department it continue to review the classified documents and remains unclear if trump will appeal the ruling. more on that for sure. >> todd: fbi agent under investigation for the bureau probe into the january 6 riots. watch. >> he could see from the ground how the fbi field office was manipulating the cases and steve friend stood up and said i will not do this. he did everything the rights way, complained to supervisors

and told them what rights of american citizens were being abused and he was ignored. >> todd: that whistleblower, steve friend claims he was removed into child exploitation cases to work on the january 6 case. >> carley: house expected to vote on policing and public safety build. reaching deal on legislation with ilhan omar and other progressives, grants for police training and recruit mooen and addresses mental health and language to tackle police accountability. two moderate democrats were dropped in order for a deal to be reached. moving to this, awful story. north dakota man accused of murdering a teenager because he

>> carley: more chaos at the border revealing agents been told not to assign registration numbers for migrantss to clear overcrowded facilities. >> todd: they are tackling the border crisis and hammering down on "root causes," and griff jenkins is live in washington with more. >> griff: good morning, this report from dhs office of inspector general shows in fiscal year 2021, border patrol did not assign alien numbers before releasing migrants into the u.s. did not issue for 107 in the statistical sample size, most patrolled into the country or issued notices to report and border patrol did not assign numbers because they were moving migrants out of facilities exceeding capacity yet the

administration argues they are focused on getting to the root causes. >> numbers matter. it matters this is a challenge that built up over decades. we have never been under illusion we can address the root cause over the course of a week or a month. >> griff: they claim this is unique, but border sector chiefs tell different story. >> within the last seven days migrants arrested from egypt and iraq. >> griff: texas governor abbott had enough, watch. >> fentanyl is a clandestine killer and texans are victimized by cartel that produce and import it. cartels are terrorists and it's time we started treating them

that way. >> griff: we're learning activists seeing florida governor ron desantis for dropping migrants at martha's vineyard are heavily funded by soros, receiving from the foundation and desantis spokesperson says this is political theater by activists. >> carley: thank you. we're seeing heartbreaking images that show two guatemala an brothers, six and two, found abandoned with notes written on their clothes. border patrol encountered 140,000 unaccompanied or abandoned children since last year. carlos gimenez joins us now, good morning, think canman. not a lot of attention being paid to uncompanied children or

the u.s. border patrol or national guard members, bishop evans who died trying to save illegal immigrants from drowning. not a lot of attention, more attention to the bussing of migrants. what do you think of this? >> if is failure of the biden administration, that if they had kept the trump era policy, we wouldn't be in this mess. this mess happening at the border and the border off florida is biden administration, they are the problem, they caused it and trying to shift blame somewhere else. >> carley: they are, democrats and biden administration trying to reclaim the moral high ground over border policy. here is what democrats are

saying about the border and where they are placing blame, watch this. >> what republican governors are doing is political, they are using people, using desperate people trying to come here because they are fleeing communism themselves as political pawn. >> it is unimaginable what the governor of texas has done. >> it manufactured crisis by ambush. >> this is regrettable. >> carley: what is missing from their argument, these illegal immigrants signed waivers before getting on the buses. where is the compassion for the southern border? >> exactly. this is just the height of hypocrisy, the biden administration is causing this entire problem, millions of people are crossing the border and millions we know of and

millions of people we don't know of crossing the border and so there is reports that venezuela starting to empty jail and send across the border because of failure to protect america. the border towns have a right to live in peace and so the biden administration is advocating their responsibility to the american peep toll keep us safe and keep border safe and protected. i'm not anti-immigration, i'm anti-illegal immigration, it needs to be legal. what is happening now is just a travesty and these poor migrants, a lot coming for a better life in america being used by biden administration as political pawns. >> carley: you are part of the house homeland security

committee, 78 people on the terror watch list were caught trying to get into the country, how much of a conversation is that on the committee? >> for the republicans, it's a big topic of conversation for the democrats, not so much, 78 people we actually caught. there are 500,000 people we know that crossed the border and never apprehended and another 500,000 we don't know crossed the border, that is a million people. how many terrorists are here to do what? i don't think they are here to do us good, it is ab abdication, it is utter failure and policy in southern border is example of it. >> carley: congressman, thank you for hopping on with us this morning. >> it's a issue mr.

guessing. >> todd: you mention, business people understand more than government, one guy named fauci, not so much, he admits he knew draconian lockdowns would have negative consequences on kids, here he is. >> if primary goal where reports were overrun in new york, you have to do something that is rather draconian and sometimes when you do draconian things, it has collateral negative co consequences, it does have deletiruous consequences. >> cheryl: interesting listening to fauci going into retire mentz, being more honest. i'm following the science.

of the main orchestrators of what we saw during the covid lockdown. >> unbelievable to hear him call policies, he was so furiously defending issue admitting they are draconian, tell that mom who is suffering the consequences of her daughter having to eat in 90-degree weather. hot, people moving to florida, no surprise. >> cheryl: you knew this was happening during covid, initial covid story, first the billionaires and the middle-class follows, a lot of people in new york and san francisco, where you are seeing exodus thought people would come back, they are not coming back to new york, seeing record number of new yorkers apply for florida drivers license. in august the new yorkers applied for florida drivers

license and you spoke to a lieutenant who explained why, it is lawlessness in new york city, listen. >> average new york upper can't walk down the block without getting robbed. it is failure in leadership and people are fleeing and again, thousands of us are unable to work, we had to come to a state that supports religious and medical freedom. >> cheryl: the numbers do not lie. i don't understand about this, you are watching your tax base flee, eric adams has talked about that repeatedly, the criticism, what are you doing about that? he's going out every night, has new suits he's wearing. good for him, people don't feel safe in new york and walking out the door. >> carley: chicago, too, ceo of mcdonalds says we are in chicago, this is not a contract

cnn, msnbc, played clips of james targeting trump specifically for political reasons? zero. that steps on the narrative and remember, this is civil complaint, not a criminal case, she thought she had the goods and would have brought a criminal case against trump, this announcement comes as she is trailing her opponent. there is political aroma from letitia james and it is civil, not criminal, attorney generals should pursue criminal cases and not do things because there is an election coming up, rile up the base. >> todd: actual lawyers say this case is weak because letitia james cites zero victims, you need a victim to have a case. speaking of somebody who wanted to be a lawyer, former fbi james

comey. he loves attention, it is about the spotlight for him? >> joe: that is a shame, we are talking about the former fbi director and he has a showtime documentary and will have written three books since being fired by the fbi. james clapper, former director of national intelligence works for cnn. andrew mccabe works for cnn. john brennan, peter strzok works for msnbc. they claim to be political and objective and now among the most

this was expected. markets did not react well. >> brian: they didn't expect the gloom in the fed chairman's comments. he's admitting they blew it and saying it more and more every time he speaks, pain will be here because if rates go up, economy slows down, talking about higher unemployment rates and slower growth, they got this wrong. >> todd: third straight month, feels like third straight month, does any of this matter if joe biden doesn't follow through with policies in the white house, from the white house and our government that helps? >> brian: the fed is trying to fight this fight, admitted they are wrong and accommodated the government too long. biden doesn't get it, he doesn't admit we had inflation spike, that is such a problem, it means they have inclination to spend

and fed has to fight against that, it prolongs the pain if the administration keeps doing this. >> carley: if fed keeps raising rates, ramifications are people will lose jobs. any sectors that will be more affected by this or just across the board jobs? >> brian: i think this is broad-based across the board. everyone is arguing if we're in a recession, powell is saying there is no soft landing, the question is how deep and it will be deeper than he's admitting right now. across the board, prices are high, consumers stop spending, that hits everything. watch out below, i don'tment want to be overly pessimistic, the fed chairman said we got this wrong and will be aggressive in raising rates.

i don't think he knows where this is going, they have not been good at forecasting. if they say they are going to hike rates -- >> todd: green new deal, gas prices rising, heating prices expected to rise this winter, brian, we have been talking about it happening, it has begun, the run up to winter will not be good. why is it happening? >> brian: natural gas prices have doubled this year, leading indicator. getting into winter, products, heating, oil, they are future market and you are anticipating price increases. europe doesn't have gas or fuel it needs and northeast has lowest reserve in decades,

that's a problem. we ate through the seed corn this year, the administration sold out the reserve and we're in the situation you get to winter and need the fuel and nobody has done the work to build up reserve and living on the razor edge and putin is talking now crazier than he has in a few months, that is not good in terms of energy reserves. >> carley: that is right, europe could move further back from russian oil and gas. it is another example of energy independence and national security thing and you have a lot of people on the left saying go green, that issin foo issue but we need proper alternatives before we jump into that or we'll -- look at germany right now. >> brian: you'll not be able to heat the home the way you are wanting to, we live now and this

administration has done none of the work to put the u.s. in a position of energy failure. >> todd: it is frightening, people are going to die. >> brian: we're in a bad situation. >> todd: new york attorney general spending years investigating the trump family while criminals have free reign across the state. >> carley: new york congresswoman claudia teney coming up next.

with his car because of the it teen's republican politics. is he complaining about his own life and job and he thinks he is in jeopardy. shannon brandt released from jail after he did post the $50,000 bond. he spent just days behind bars after police say he mowed down 18-year-old kaylor he will electricson with his car, killing him. is he charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a fatal crash that didn't stop him from objecting to the bail amount telling the judge quote i have a job, a life, and a house and things that i don't exactly want to see go by the wayside. family that are very important to me court documents say the suspect told state radio in north dakota he hit a pedestrian who he claimed was part of a republican streamist group. a probable cause affidavit says brandt also told investigators he had been drinking alcohol before striking ellington and thought the teen was calling people to harm the suspect after the two argued.

some members of congress blame president biden's recent speech calling trump supporters semi-fascist as helping to fuel the violence i don't think it's an accident that the term this man used republican extremism the same term president biden stood in front of independence hall with it fists clinched saying half the country is extremists. that is a real concern. >> teen's mom said her son called her to say he was being chased down and that was the very last thing he said to her in his final moments. todd and carley? >> todd: horrible, sad, makes no sense. aknitted tax thank you. new york attorney general letitia james making good on her campaign promise to go after former president donald trump and his family as she files a lawsuit against them for $250 million. >> i look forward to going into the office of attorney general

she is bringing a civil fraud case against donald trump to protect who? who is she protecting in this case? big multi trillion dollars banks who actually look at commercial property, look at what type a would be loan applicants. not the average citizen up in upstate new york or in the rural or suburban or even urban areas. looking at taking down donald trump on what is called civil fraud. i guarantee you donald trump has probably never seen any of these appraisals. he has nothing to do with this. it's anything to criminalize civil behavior and that's all tish james does. meanwhile we have a governor in the state of new york, never thought i could say there was someone worse than andrew cuomo. covid-19 hochul is worse than andrew cuomo. she is the worse corruption queen to play. made it worse. a woman who wasted almost half a billion dollars in pay to play contracts on purchasing test

kits for covid-19 in the midst of this crisis and made sure no bid contract that those test kits went to a donor not to the best bidder, even california is corrupt and liberal as california is, even california saved 45% more than kathy hochul did on helping out our people suffering from covid-19. >> one person trying to shake up albany michael henry running against james for state attorney general this november had this reaction to the suit. listen. >> every day new yorkers right now understand that letitia james does not care about crime. she recently said she needs more credible data before she revisits the cashless bail law and more credible data means more victims. >> todd: congresswoman, you have run many campaigns. if her campaign for attorney general was going well, would letitia james have brought this suit against donald trump less than seven weeks from election day? >> absolutely not. and that's what she is doing.

this is a scare tactic. guess what's happening michael hen ray tremendous candidate. i have been campaigning with him all year is actually leading in the polls. this is the first time we could have a statewide public officer held by a republican since governor pataki. you also have a chance to get lee zeldin elected to take out the corrupt kathy mobleg. hike henry, lee zeldin paul rodriguez a lot of great candidates running statewide. another candidate running against chuck schumer. we only have a chance upstate new yorkers would get out and vote. we have an opportunity to take back new york. this is tremendous opportunity right now. i'm just so excited about all of our statewide candidates getting an opportunity. i served in albany. i know how corrupt it is. i know about the kickbacks and pay to play scandals. the people serving are worse than the people i served with when i served in the state legislature and that's saying a lot. >> carley: crime is up in new york overall by 34%.
