everyone for joining us i'm eric shawn. the infrastructure in some area of florida have been completely destroyed and washed away. just take a look at that. tens of billions of dollars will be needed to rebuild according to the initial estimates and the storm recovery just one of the top stories we are following for you at this hour. also i had her in foxley in the southern border of the humanitarian crisis continues they are as slow. fox news learning some new details about the jaw-dropping number of got away so far this year as some migrants are pulled from the raging waters to safety. and as the countdown to the midterms is on the balance of power in the u.s. senate expected to come down to just a few states. we will look at that. but first steve harrigan is standing by in northport, florida on the recovery efforts they are in the wake of ian. hey steve. >> eric, we've been driving up and down highway 75. stopping along the way, so many communities pretty much flooded

out. they've got three or 4 feet of water read many of these houses. they are very isolated per we have drawn up in the air trying to show you some the damage people still trying to get around in their vehicles despite the hot water. now yesterday was a day of urgent rescues. today was more from what we have seen of a salvage date. people trying to pull what they can from their flooded homes. either furniture's or in some case groceries but followed young men into his kitchen to see what he was up too. ask no fridge no power. proximity going to do? >> throw everything away. [laughter] x how was your are you feeling? no one. cooksey is going to lose that entire fridge worth of groceries. national guard says that more than 5000 people out on the streets of florida. they have rescued more than 1500 people.

most of those rescued by high water vehicle, eric back to you. arthel: rhc thank you. arthel: air, enough florida residents live in your swollen creaks are being forced out of their homes. the national guard stepping in to help evacuate people trapped by high water that is expected to keep rising. not just on the gulf coast but also in central florida. fox whether katy is live in st. cloud just south of orlando were evacuations are underway. katy, what can you tell us? ex arthel, days after he ian hit the south was part of florida other parts of the state are dealing with the flooding days after the fact. people here thought they were in the clear but now they are waking up to more flooding outside their homes. people who live in this neighborhood behind me are evacuating because of nearby creeks and lakes overflowing and causing the flooding you are seeing here. crews have been using high water trucks to drive through this flooded water. and you can see there is a tow truck right there taking a car out.

that's some people are trying to do, salvage what they can to their cars do not get stuck in this if it gets any worse. it is several feet deep times people cannot drive through without risking getting stuck in less that one of those high water just a few miles from here and disseminate national guardsmen to women brought trucks into another neighborhood dealing with the same exact thing. silla county officials are concerned the water here is going to rise to more feet. it's not expected to crest meaning it will not reseed for another three days at least. some people in this county are under mandatory evacuation orders. others are under voluntary evacuation orders. which just expanded within the hour. these neighborhoods we are learning a lot of young families with kids and pets live here but at the possibility of power getting shut off many of them are choosing to leave. >> we are just hoping that it does not get so high were our home is completely underwater. but luckily we taped stuff off and hopefully it stays that way.

at this hour, crews have five pumps actively pumping water at nearby lakes in the county. if ira katy thank you. stewart's katy just showed us the threat is another another threat what is left behind by ian. floodwaters rise in the central part of the state. allie's a public information officer for the osceola county sheriff's office. welcome. we just showed our viewers the floodwaters rising to feet still expected to go up and what is the situation on the ground right on the county? >> yes, thank you so much for having me today speaking on behalf the sheriff and the sheriff's office. minutes ago we were informed that flooding is expected to peak between october 7 -- 12 to the county's work with south florida water management in the u.s. army.

as you know county announced they mandatory evacuation of the village due to rising waters. as of saturday there was a voluntary evacuation as well basically we are asking people and their vehicles to not go through these waters. because at this point there is so much water right now that only heavy duty vehicles can make it safely through those waters. that's basically the situation we have right now the city of st. cloud also issued a voluntary evacuation for several areas and some others. we are asking our residents to keep themselves informed. calling 911 if they need any help from us but.

>> that is amazing what you just said. the floodwaters are expected to peak in about another week or so? this is going to go on for you when you are in the central part of the state just below orlando. the waters will keep rising for the next five days. was this expected? ian hit the west coast of the state. you are on the other side. what we are doing and now is to continue our assessment as the management and oh county as we did on friday were conducting another aerial assessment was looking at this point we are looking at the areas that still experiencing extreme historical level of flooding include right now portions of ventura lakes, pebble point, and other areas

where water continues to flow south from seminole and orange county they are coming to us through those creeks. >> you got disneyland, disney world i'm sorry up to the north of you in orlando what are you telling people? can they leave where people being told to do now if the water keeps on rising? are definitely in an emergency right now if they are experiencing damage, we are urging them to apply for assistance through female. disaster assistance.org website. or by calling (800)621-3362. i repeat (800)621-3362 they can

do it. it is an absolute emergency please call us through 911. the oh cilla county sheriff's office i can speak on behalf of them and i would like to say an occult effort with other agencies we try to do our best to respond to all these emergencies. cooks were certainly thinking of you and wish you the very best. especially with the shock of the floodwaters rising and continuing for like another week. this will be with you for a while. this will be staying with use thank you very much for the update. thanks eric the white house announcing will head to puerto

rico visit florida wednesday chad pergram is light at the white house with the very latest, high chad? >> it is a balance for presidents not to give away storm recovery. but they must time when they go on-site to show leadership. puerto rico is first. >> we owe puerto rico a lot more than they've got. it's going to take a long time. we cannot tire. whatever it takes. rising floodwaters and worries what happens when committees receive showers from a regular storm. >> first thing i would say is where it rains can flood. right right? our flood maps are really focused on inundation. >> congress approved money to flush fema's coffers with cash

and interim spending bill on friday. it's likely congress will need to prove more cash for puerto rico and florida after the damage assessments are complete. >> we don't have a cost estimate yet. but my own back of the napkin math were going to be well over 5 billion it's going to be higher than that. this storm is not just a wind event about storm surge from 4 feet -- 16 feet as just surge through our area. >> most republicans after hurricane sandy. that was back in 2012. the politics for the next wave of disaster relief have not yet formed, arthel para. >> chad pergram there at the white house, thank you chad. >> meanwhile the southern border with got new numbers coming to fox news. the number of so-called got a ways. this more migrants are arriving today in new york city from texas. calling out republican leadership. we'll tell you what he said,

next here on fox news live.

before start crisis of the southern border showing no slices of slowing down. this ended set a record for more than 2 million migrant

encounters, well over half of them have been to paint and trap detained and deported by the by demonstration is not apparently different influx at all. meanwhile getting more information and dramatic images of rescues on the rio grande river that you can see thereof migrants who were crossing a baby, as you can see big say. matt for his life on the border at eagle pass, texas with more on all of this. hey matt. >> hi erica. it was a busy week here at the border for just about every single day we saw large group of migrants crossing into the united states. a short while ago our cameras captured another group that crossed here along the rio grande river. most of the groups are men, women and often times we see very young children. so often we see these migrants being processed. they are often put into buses in band and then take it into processing centers. and then they tell us that destinations all of the united states for this afternoon fox

news has just confirmed with u.s. customs and border protection there were 600,000 got a ways that ended in 2022. guideways are illegal migrants. not signed written they don't want to be seen right u.s. border patrol rodney scott in 2020 that fiscal year of their 70000 got a ways. that we skyrocketed to 600,000. average of 50000 got a waste per month. in 1500 per day. and here along the border migrants are using all types of extreme measures to avoid detection including drone video potentially each to show you. recent bus 30 illegal immigrants from mexico, honduras, guatemala, south el salvador all of those illegal migrants turned over to border patrol.

the mayor pro tem centers of migration not that mere per tone tells us to do something to hurt border town or border is safe. vice president harris saying she's been to the board of the borders are safe, really? they are safe but yet you are upset because leaps people are going over there? if they are safe don't worry about it. what she was referencing migrants that have been bused to washington d.c., martha's vineyard and new york and beyond for the democratic mayor pro tem tells us she does not think of migrants are tricked onto buses. she says she thanks the appreciate or need a bus ride to other states to get to their final destination. back to you eric. >> that figure 600,000 got a ways is pretty astounding.

that is really equal to the population of s or louisville for almost detroit, seems to be so many, matt thank you. we fight eric and matt former president bill clinton is weighing in on the border crisis. here's what he said on a podcast last week. there is a limit to how many migrants in the society can take without severe disruption and assistance. and our system is based much more on an assumption that things would be more normal. >> let us bring in out ron former u.s. border patrol chief and deputy commissioner and former acting isa director. ron, thanks for being here. first if i can get your reaction former president clinton's

assessment we just heard? >> is kind of ironic but i agree. large numbers of people crossing the border illegally in an almost uncontrolled fashion and policies that promote an open border are bad. they are a burden on our society. they are an burden on the mayor pro tem a vehicle pass with the burden on the other communities for their board and on border patrol we are enriching the cartels on the south side of the border. so yes i agree with him in the sense this is out of control. we've never seen anything like it. he is pointing out the obvious fact this administration has totally blown up at control levels they had when they took office. arthel: the former podcast present clint also criticized republican governors for busing migrants to the north and northeast. calling those moves stunts, what is your reaction to that? >> well, you've got to give it to these governors. over the border be like if they weren't helping questionable until rio or eagle pass look like at the thousands and

thousands of people who cross every we would still be there? these are people who were in government custody and were released. they are getting a ride free to them to a city they have chosen either new york, washington d.c., the case of chicago we all saw the flight to martha's vineyard. go back a second on president clinton. in 1996 he did an immigration reform package that was designed to better secure the border. cooperation from local law enforcement with ice. talked about aggregated felons being mandatory detention, expedited removal. he was an advocate for border security before it was cool. in 1996 he signed a law into place that help fortify the border that advocated for putting walls up. arthel: boyd, hemp week, long way since 1996. you mention something, those of migrants what to go to for they chose to go to new york, d.c.,

and chicago. i'm not sure if they chose it, those were the cities that were offered if you will. but let's move on and on to continue on that podcast that we were talking about here. who also asked about economic migrants. people who are gaming the asylum system, when you think about that? >> that is what we are seeing, right? eric talked about the numbers 1.3 million people were being deported. the administration must highlight that. why are 2.5 million people in the pipeline? because many of them are not even been seen by law enforcement for they do not get encountered. at that 2.5 million who were encountered many have been released into the united states. that encourages people to come by disincentive of coming here, claiming asylum, being released into the united states, that is the endgame goal for many of those people will know for go to it and asylum hearing. they'll never go to immigration court for they have succeeded by

getting into this economy will never see them again unless you get arrested or they do something terrible. in this administration currently likes it that way but we have an open border and they have not done a thing to try to change it. arthel: you want to look at the results of operation lone star in texas. this is since march of 2021. almost 309,000 migrant apprehensions. 20200 criminal arrests, nearly 18000 felony charges levied. 336 million doses of fentanyl seized. the system is clearly broken. do you think congress can stop tripping over political differences and come up with a long-term solution before the severe disruption that president clinton mentioned section? >> the disruption is already with us but if you live on the border you see this every day. some these destination cities are reacting to the overflow of humanity is coming to this border. congress need to act predating a strength or immigration law. they need to resource the bo

border. but policy matters hereto, right question at this administration inherited a policy which we have 40 year lows of inactivity or southwest portably texas has done more than anybody aside from the border patrol aside from the federal government. they're doing everything they can. everyone is overwhelmed, the system is overwhelmed. effect absolutes overwhelmed but want to go back to congress clearly a problem that needs to be solved they can compass laws and bills will really work. you start out by saying it's ironic you agree to former president bill clinton. and i understand where you're coming from. but isn't that the point though? it does not matter who you are a republican or democrat. if somebody has a good idea and you come together on it that is what works for us as americans to fix this problem we are

showing here. >> no, congress definitely has a role here. they can shore up the immigration framework for the remaining mexico program is based in law think it in situ that policy through force of law, they can change the detention centers are outlined for the incentives are for people to come here because many of them again will never be encountered by law enforcement. many are being released. congress can act to stop them but they do need a president that is willing to put policies in place and he tore down on his first day in office. arthel: we will leave it there. ron former u.s. border patrol chief and deputy commissioner and former acting price director. thank you. >> thanks arthel. cox arthel back to hurricane ian for the massive recovery effort continues in florida. there's still one big obstacle, what the storm did to the states power grid. we are live in a hard-hit fort myers and when they will get the electricity back. when my last customer discovered a crack in his car's windshield,

see for are the stores are failing at this hour. police in stockton, california say five murders over the past few months could be the work of a serial killer. the police she posted a photograph of a person of interest and since all five victims were men who were shot and killed in the late night or early morning hours. they are walking on the sidewalk alone. looking at the photograph of that person of interest there. the city is offering 85000-dollar reward for information leading to an ar arrest. facing attempted kidnapping charges after his own parents turn them. 28-year-old danko james was arrested monday after trying to grab a 10-year-old girl outside of a school and denver's suburb. police say his parents recognize him and his car from surveillance videos. the national archives that it is still missing some records may trump administration. the archive sent a letter to congress saying it's still missing some messages sent and received by for trump officials.

this about six weeks after the fbi recovered 20000 pages of records that are still stored illegally they say for former president state at mar-a-lago. back to the tops are the aftermath of hurricane ian, battered neighborhoods across florida trying to get back on their feet. about the recovery is being hampered by power and supply issues. phil keating is live in hard-hit fort myers beach with moore, phil. >> hi arthel. more on the power situation and a second here. this is san carlos island which is adjacent to fort myers beach proper on the other side of the bridge. this is also a marine service which has several private vessels up on dry dock for repairs when the hurricane hit category for big storm surge of

12 -- 15 feet. that big 40-foot sailboat owned by captain charlie and is called the dreman, the dreams have been crushed. a quarter million dollar boat brand-new headed to a junk pile somewhere near here. you see all of those tall pulley cranes? those are shrimp boats. take a look at her drone shot right now. you can see all of the damage from a much better perspective than simply the street view. every trailer in the area was crumbled and slammed into each other totally wrecked. the shrimping boats and push them and onto the land. you can see they are all jumbled up there together. so that is a major job that has to be done now. cleaning up all of the wreckage and debris. not only in this county but up and down the coast is weeks and weeks in the making. search and rescue operations in

their fourth day right now with hundreds of people searching by helicopter and high water vehicles. looking for survivors and of course unfortunately finding fatalities. those are people who tried to ride out the storm, decided not to evacuate despite the mandatory order. most of them according to the medical examiner died from drowning. storm surge is something to be reckoned with. this is a trailer park on the site as well. everything is wrecked and destroyed. the storm surge got into every trailer. even if it is structurally somewhat okay, inside everything flooded. everything is waterlogged starting to grow mold now and nothing at all is salvageable. as for the power, right now in lee county at 95% loss of power on day one. it is now down to 75% florida power and light is hoping to restore all power by the end of

a business on tuesday. it sounds ambitious but they seem confident. back to arthel. arthel: it's amazing if they could do that. let's hope they can. one thing, fill a lot of those people will not even get a chance to go back to the place they once called home. it is really, really too bad. phil keating, thank you so much. and so we feel really, really good. we feel like this is the key senate race and people are waking up to that all over the country. as a result were getting support from all over the country and all over my state. eric: former who is a republican candidate for u.s. senate advantage it challenging democrat senator catherine cortez masto. a little more than a month before the midterm elections in that race and three others could

potentially determine the balance of power in washington. for other those states include senate races in nevada, georgia, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. what is going to happen? fox news contribute opinion editor for the washington times carly is here. what is what the republicans have to do? what do they need to potentially flip the senate? >> well, obviously they are defending a couple of seats a part of the most celebrated one in pennsylvania and also in georgia they have got a hole. that is in this environment are not guaranteed wins. for a long time georgia it was a pretty reliable republican state. but that his change pretty dramatically in the past four years. they have got to hold those. they have also got to make inroads in places like nevada and a very good chance of making this inroads in nevada.

there are a few other pickup opportunities. but for republicans what they really need to do what they need to focus on is talking about crime and the economy. and in the races where they have focused on those two issues they find that they make pretty good headway. democrats are doing all they can to change the topic to talk about other things. and where democrats are succeeding at that the doing a lot better. >> democrats focusing on gun control, abortion, and other issues. and the economy. let's break it down. you just mentioned georgia course that is rocco warnock versus herschel walker. here's the latest poll. basically shows a 46 -- 41% as you can see on the screen there, warnock holding even. it is still close. what do you foresee for that? >> very close. and of course a minute ago i said that's an important pickup for republicans that is how badly things have changed for republicans in georgia.

but again obviously herschel walker is an untested candidate. he is not a politician. but he is very popular, superstar, everybody remembers him as a great on the gridiron. he is i think coming into his own. he is very smart, pretty discipline on the campaign trail. but again, eric if he is able to make it about the economy. if he is able to make it about issues like crime instead of talking about all things democrats want to talk about raffaella warnock wants to talk about maga, donald trump, january 6, if herschel walker can keep it on to those issues. and polling shows most normal voters care a whole lot more about the economy and a whole lot more about crime than they do about some these other insular issues.

see if we've got pennsylvania 20 most unusual political figures in the united states today, jon fetterman. dr. oz averted shows a dr. oz dating somewhat and featherman they're going to have to debate october 2425th really close to the election day. what you perceive without race? ask of course that is a very difficult states for republicans to have to defend. the weight republicans managed to have a republican representing pennsylvania and the senate is the first place is sorted by hook or crook. but here they are. they're having to defend that seats. but, you've got i think a very photogenic and smart candidate and a man like mama todd who is very comfortable in front of the camera. he is a very good communicator which helps him. and obviously jon fetterman so much talk is been about his health which is a real problem

for him. but he is kind of lucky in that by talking about but he does not have to talk about his record. because of his record when it comes especially to issues of crime which is again the most powerful issue just about any election but especially in these times, if he does not have to defend and answer questions about his record on things like a bail reform and things like that, then obviously that is where he wants to be. before then to some voters he has so much out of the mold does not wear jacket and tie, as it may or he has tattoos those tattoos have the dates of murder victims when he was married. takes that very personally. he is really unusual. have we seen someone like him in recent times? he is cut out of a different type of mold. yes he definitely is. but he also when you start

talking about when he can down and drill down into the issues about criminal justice reform and wanting to end the cash bail and things like that voters get very squeamish in this kind of environment but especially the area around philadelphia were philadelphia is looking at record spikes in crime. even if it's not happening in our neighborhood if you are in a suburb around philadelphia, you get concerned about crime. of course it's on the tv every night pretty c was going on in the city of philadelphia. >> the client in philadelphia has been aptly stunning. quickly, charlie what is your prediction? what you think is going to happen? >> i think in the senate it's honestly a tough road for republicans because the map is tough. i think honestly in this environment where the wrong track/right track is so heavily against democrats. and i think the most important thing is a democrat not running on a record of the past two

years. all they can do is find these other insular issues. you name to the most important and they're trying to focus on abortion parade that is what they want to talk about. they do not want to talk about the record. and that sort of environment i think republicans have a very good opportunity to pick up enough seats to win the senate. i think they handily win in the house. support will see what happens, charlie always good to see you thank you. arthel: eric, there's outrage in portland, oregon isn't crime runs rampant including four murders in the span of 24 hours. what are officials doing about it? that is coming up.

her fears it is city council meeting on wednesday. she said these homeless encampments are dangerous and have human feces, open drug use. their big piles of trash just spilling out onto the street. but portland democratic mayor ted wheeler attend to scoff or laugh when she finished her comment. take a listen to their exchange. next i am angry and i am sad and fed up. i am so sick but a bit epic failure. please admit the failure inserted in the right thing. stop wasting our money and destroying our beautiful city. police are big leaders, thank you for your all right thank you, a major point emphatically clear. [laughter] thank you for being here and sharing your perspective we do appreciate it. >> well today, rosen told me she was upset over how the mayor responded. >> it was really hard to hear. and like i said before think it proves my point.

i don't feel like they are taking it seriously and that they care. and the way he laughed like you know what i don't think this is funny at all. this is a nightmare. and portland is in real trouble. we do not feel safe. show more than 5220 people are homeless in the portland area. that is up to about 4000 in 2019 for those numbers are likely higher by now. local leaders blame the pandemic and the expensive housing market for the growing problem. portland has a street services coordination center to help homeless people in a variety of ways. but clearly this is still a big issue for reach out to mage while to merit wheeler for response to the crisis in general and his reaction to julian rose in that city council meeting. we are waiting to hear back, arthel "we will look forward to your interview once he gets back to you. christina: thank you very much, erica.
