>> it is a beautiful day. good morning, everybody. thanks for starting it with us today. join us tomorrow same time, same couch. >> join me on the radio. a big show. we'll continue the vaccination pause. >> bill: those are air raid sirens in tokyo in response to a north korea missile launch. the north's fifth missile launch in ten days, the first time in five years it launched a projectile over japan. the longest missile launch to date. the u.s. condemning it as dangerous and reckless. gordon chang will take that up

today. first, here we go again. gas prices on the rise. the white house appears powerless to stop it. don't say we didn't warn you. i'm bill hemmer. dana has the day off. big welcome back to sandra. >> sandra: couldn't think of a better way to start my tuesday with william hemmer. here we go. i'm sandra smith, this is "america's newsroom."enter the president's strategy of tapping the strategic oil reserves appears to be falling flat. we're watching gas prices up to $3.80 at the national average. if you live out west, that probably sounds like a steal. >> bill: california gets the worst, $6.41 a gallon ahead of an opec meeting tomorrow that could make prices higher. >> this hurts the poor people of california. california has the highest poverty rate in the nation. poor people in california are not the ones driving electric cars. they are in gas-powered gars and paying through the nose.

this all started on day one of the administration when he ended america's energy independence. we're paying the price for that right now. >> sandra: jacque heinrich is live on the north lawn this morning to kick things off. hello. >> good morning. the direction these prices are headed combined with the fact that the strategic reserve sales are coming to an end later this month plus that warning sign from opec that they'll likely be cutting production next week is enough to give any one a fright. today's average for a gallon of regular $3.81 up from $3.75 a week ago. it is still down from the highest averages we hit in june at 5.02 but in the states where democrats are in tight mid-term races like arizona, georgia, nevada, pennsylvania and wisconsin the numbers aren't working in the president's favor and it has been giving fodder to republicans who said biden's trip to saudi arabia to encourage opec to ramp up

production wasted more political capital than it was worth. >> so much for joe biden being able to transact with the saudis trying to use the influence of his bully pulpit with the world marketplace. but what we ought to do is be bringing the prices down by producing a lot more here in the united states of america. remember when we did that once? it worked quite well. >> for the last week the president seemed to suggest oil and gas companies might be to blame for the spiking prices repeating on multiple occasions he would have the feds investigate instances of price gouging if it's suspected. even though officials have admitted that there has been no evidence of that happening. >> why does he keep throwing that out there and does it have anything to do with the possibility that opec announced a production cut next week? >> we're just making sure that while people are dealing -- what we're all dealing with a hurricane, that gas and oil companies don't take advantage of it.

>> the country's strategic reserve levels are now at four-decade low after the president began selling them to try to bring down gas prices and the fema administrator said after hurricane ian they would have to do assessments to make sure they have enough supply to last us through hurricane season, emergencies that the strategic reserves are meant for. >> sandra: many investigations have happened at the state and federal level about price gouging. nothing has ever turned up. the president is getting flak for comments he made on puerto rico yesterday. what did he say? >> let's play the sound bite and have people decide for themselves. listen. >> president biden: we have a very irrelevant term, large puerto rican pop plagues in delaware. i was sort of raised in the puerto rico community at home politically. we came here for a long time both for business and pleasure.

i am committed to this island. >> the president's detractors and critics seized on that. if you look across time he has a habit of trying to relate to his audience, sometimes making comments about his personal connections that could be a bit of a stretch. we looked at the numbers and to be fair in 1970 when he first ran for senate 81% of delaware's puerto rican population did live in his district. not very many people but 81% of the state's puerto rican population was in his district. >> bill: smitty, let's bring in two of the best. former trump advisor kellyanne conway, fox news contributor. congratulations and welcome on board. mark penn former clinton pollster and advisor. good morning to you both. before i get to the poll. five weeks from today mid-terms go down. it appears you have the theme in america and around the world. no order, no order on the

border, crime in big cities, economy, student loan forgiveness, decisions out of washington, d.c., the issues in europe and putin's war as well. there is no order could be a theme for what happens in early november. how do you see it? >> it's true, bill. chaos and crisis every where you look. and a feeling of insecurity, a lack of safety, a lack of accountability in our government and truly the sense and reality that everyday life is increasingly unaffordable. we're hearing from job holders saying we have 2 or 3 jobs in our household and not afraid of losing a job or replacing it, we're afraid the job is not enough. too much regulation. utility bills, food, groceries, insurance payments, rent, mortgage. the everyday concerns people are echoing. you're right. the theme going into the mid-terms is security and affordability, fair nest, education. the monmouth poll laid bare that

independents have a 21% approval rating of joe biden on the economy, their number one issue. if you have 80% of americans saying the economy is extremely or very important and you have a 30% approval rating on that and 21% among independents your party is going to lose its majority probably in both chambers. and finally, you know, the republicans only need 4 or 5 seats to take the majority. if they win 18 seats we'll have the majority since 1994. if they win 30 seats the largest majority since a century. this is a truly incredible moment for them if they just keep on making the democrats -- they have this affirmative actionable message, commitment to america. they can have a good election day. >> bill: mark, what's going right? the monmouth poll. approval/disapproval. the top five issues that america

talks about. inflation, crime, elections, voting, jobs, unemployment and immigration. the disapproval number for joe biden is well under water on everything except for elections and voting. you heard kellyanne's response. how would you respond to the election five weeks from today? >> there is no question this is not a good poll for democrats. it is indisputed this shows more of a shift several points in the republican direction. and i think we've seen that after a number of polls. the fascinating thing about this poll is that among democrats, inflation, crime, immigration are not even the election issues. that actually among democrats, biden has an over 80% approval rating and the issue is voting and rights. the democrats have said those aren't oaf en the issues. i think the republicans have been pounding away that these are the issues. i think it has been winning with

independents and why i think realistically the polls are trending in that direction. two campaigns, two sets of issues. >> bill: kellyanne? >> voters tell us what's important to them. we don't tell them. i think joe biden is playing an inside game here by spending trillions of dollars of money we don't have on things we don't need trying to mollify the left wing. as mark points out holding steady among members of his own party in approval rating but every day joe biden and the democrats wake up and a few republicans wake up and it says january 6, 2021. most americans are looking at october 6th, november 6th, when the rent is due and student loan payment is due and utility bill is due. they're frustrated to not have a president and certainly a vice president to respond to these everyday concerns. last point i'll make. i think the democrats know they

are going to lose the house and likely the senate. they are preparing for that, which is why i think joe biden is taking pot shots at the former president. they are probably afraid of a cage match rematch. not being gracious enough to governor desantis as the hurricane was hitting and destroying so many lives and livelihoods and property in florida. so it's almost as if they know what is going to happen but i'll tell you that climate change, abortion, january 6th, these are the issues democrats want to run on. it is not what the majority of americans are telling everybody in their polls. >> bill: if you are a democratic candidate, how do you answer the question what is going right in america now? >> well, you are going to have to say what's going right is that the democratic party helped people through covid, got us through the worst of it.

put everybody back on the economic feet and doing something about climate change and trying to reduce inflation as painful as it is. that's going to be your best democratic case as opposed to the case about voting rights. >> bill: see you next tuesday. four weeks away then. thank you for chipping in today. appreciate it. ten past. sandra also there is more on the economy. right? gas prices. >> sandra: the problem saying what is going right to democrats they are trying to address inflation. this is a mess of the administration's own making. to tell the american people that's what is going right is a problem. overnight gas prices 3.80 for a gallon for a national average. gas prices are on the rise. west coast some states seeing 30, $0.40 up in the past week. oil prices this morning. opec meeting happens tomorrow. they could cut by a million barrels a day. you have oil right now $85 for a

barrel. that's up two bucks right now and it could go a lot higher. >> the october oil surprise. opec and allies will consider slashing production targets by a million barrels a day. the timing couldn't be worse for mr. biden and democrats in congress. sell high and buy higher wasn't supposed to be. that's what we've been releasing with the strategic petroleum reserve for the past several months. >> sandra: that was never a good answer to high prices. >> bill: i agree. >> sandra: hurricane ian's death toll over 100. steve harrigan is live in arcadia, florida for us at this hour. hi, steve. >> sandra, this is 50 miles inland. what we're seeing really is not damage from the wind but from the water. you can see this entire section

of road simply has given way with a pickup truck. this is not a lone incident. several vehicles by the side of the road where the road gave out from the water. outside the city of arcadia which is entirely cut off in sections by water. some of that water up eight feet deep. police and national guard still can't get the places six days in. we've talked to people who have been stranded. the water came up so quickly they were surprised by what happened to them. >> it looks like some spots look like a bomb went off. but yeah, definitely worse than we expected. >> we had to come through with a boat. it was rough. thought we would flip. the currents were bad. thankfully we're here. >> so even with their houses flooded a lot of people are commuting back and forth on the waterway simply saying they don't have the money toggles

where. they have some emergency meals and water here. police and national guard. people to get what they need. people are commuting bringing out milk, gasoline and diapers to those still flooded houses. back to you. >> sandra: thank you to all those that are on the ground there covering this. in your case, steve, and those helping so many who are in desperate need at this hour. steve, thank you very much. >> bill: more migrant buses arrive in new york city. top democrats butting heads on where the house them. the latest on the city's evolving plan there. >> sandra: planned parenthood unveiling a new strategy to provide abortion access for women living in states that have banned the procedure. what that looks like and how pro-life activists are pushing back. >> major escalation out of north korea sending a missile over the country of japan. what's the strategy here and how will we respond? >> we're watching this very, very closely. each time they do this, they

learn, they get better. they get more capable. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> bill: planned parent hood will open a roving clinic traveling close to the borders of three states that banned the procedure. planned parenthood say there is a surge of women seeking abortions in illinois. garrett tenney is live in chicago. >> good morning. this will be the first mobile abortion clinic in the country. planned parent hood said wait times for the procedure have skyrocketed. just across the border from st. louis, missouri where abortion is banned. wait times for an abortion have

gone from four days to 21/2 weeks. you can see illinois has become an island of abortion rights in the midwest and women all across the region seeking the procedure are coming to the state to get it done. this new mobile abortion clinic will travel close to the borders of surrounding states where abortions are banned. in its announcement planned parenthood said 100 days ago the supreme court took away the right to abortion. we're not backing down. our commitment to our patients is as strong stae as 100 days ago. the national right to life committee it is akin to drive by killing on the unborn saying planned parenthood is about killing as many unborn children as they can and mobile abortion is another grotesque demeaning of human life. planned parenthood says depending how successful this is, they could expand the strategy to other states to try to reach as many women as

possible. >> bill: thanks in chicago on that. >> sandra: those are alarms sirens throughout japan after north korea fires a ballistic missile over the country. the regime's first missile launch over japan since 2017 and fifth launch in ten days. let's bring in gordon chang. thank you for joining us this morning. first off tell us more about what we're learning about this intermediate range ballistic missile reaching a height of 600 miles at its highest point flying over that country. >> sandra, this was the 23rd launch of a missile by narc this year. -- north korea this year. the fastest ever. this probably an intermediate

range ballistic missile. clearly this is japan was upset about this. and as very well they should be. we have to point out that this missile, when it did cross japan, was in space. it did not pose a threat to the japanese people. >> sandra: setting off serious alarms there having people run for cover. as you noted, the acceleration of these -- the pace of these launches this year. it was the fifth launch in ten days. what does this tell you about north korea's intent and what might be coming next from the rogue regime? >> probably we will see a long-range ballistic missile test. they haven't done one of those since 2017 or so. so that's really in the cards. also the north koreans in 2017 promised an atmospheric test of

a thermo nuclear device. every country that has the bomb has done that. the issue here is where is north korea getting the money. that money is coming from transactions prohibited by the security council. for instance ship to ship sale of commodities, sales of weapons. this is a vulnerability for north korea. it passes through new york city. >> sandra: the statement from the national security council. the action is destabilizing and shows their blatant disregard for security council resolution and international safety norms. to your point, gordon. the united states will continue its efforts to limit the dprk's ability to advance its weapons of mass destruction programs. we believe we could be doing more to stop north korea from further launching missiles in the near future. what could we be doing as a

country? >> what we could be doing is going after the banks that are handling north korea's money. in 2017, the trump administration disconnected one bank from the international system by designating it a money laundering concern. we know chinese banks are continuing to launder north korea's money and we could designate them and cut them off from the global financial system. i believe we need to do that because we've warned the chinese year in and year out and they ignore the warnings. by the way, these banks are laundering not just narc north korea's money but chinese gangs have become the world's dominant money launderers using the chinese state banks. >> sandra: gordon chang on that breaking news. thank you for joining us. good to see you. >> inflation is a huge issue.

bad policies out of the biden white house, people are worried what their children are being taught, worried about excellence in schools. voters not just in virginia but across america believe that parents have a fundamental right to be engaged in their kids' lives. >> bill: republican glen young kin. a key governor's race in kansas and we'll talk to one of those candidates coming up. one of the hardest hits in last month's monday night football game was not on a player. we'll explain what this was all about. did not get away and did not get far. i'd like to take a moment to address my fellow veterans because i know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100% of your home's value.

>> bill: 9:31. stocks open in new york. nice, to days in a row boom, 400 points at the open for the dow

30. nice gain yesterday. you go figure it out, right? investors dealing with rising oil and gas prices. we'll check and see how they impact the economy going forward the next week, month and on and on. what is your take, by the way? >> sandra: expectations for the federal reserve next move. they did a hike. anticipation now it won't be 3/4 but a half point. markets are cheering that on for now. the big round psychological number for you is 30,000. when the dow dropped it had a lot of people spooked and went into safer assets, cash. now it's about to go back above 30,000. >> bill: here we go. one point about the fed you were making there. the next time they meet is the tuesday and wednesday before the mid-terms. and they make their interest rate decision on that wednesday. so you are six days before that tuesday, right? november 8th it is. >> sandra: those mid-terms are

five weeks away. glenn youngkin is turning into a draw for republicans on the campaign trail. they hope it will make the difference in key battleground states. mark meredith is live in washington with more and mark, a lot of these g.o.p. candidates are embracing youngkin on the trail. >> they sure are. good morning. virginia governor has become a break-out political star since his surprising win last year. these days a growing number of republican candidates are eager to campaign with them and they try to reach swing voters. youngkin was in atlanta suburbs to rally with brian kemp. they are running on the same issues like anti-covid restrictions, greater parental say in education and less regulation. kemp is leading over abrams. how much voters appear to be embracing youngkin himself. he hasn't been in office for more than a year yet.

we asked him why so many people seek eager to embrace his playbook. >> i think our win last year and what we've accomplished out of the box where we have delivered on our entire campaign platform and putting things into motion, i think it gives people confidence that we can bring people together around conservative solutions to these kitchen table problems and deliver. >> youngkin has more campaign trips on the horizon. we mentioned georgia and nevada and maine. scheduled to visit new mexico this friday and make a stop in arizona before november. one group not impressed with the trips virginia democrats who tell fox, quote, it is clear he has left virginia in the rearview mirror and embraced the far right fringes of the republican party for his national aspirations. we asked youngkin about any potential plans for 2024. he just wouldn't take the bait. he is focused on the mid-terms and see what happens. a lot of people curious to see what the travel will add up to

going forth. >> sandra: thank you. >> bill: one of the big races on the governor side is in kansas, glenn youngkin and ron desantis has been there and the battle is considered a toss-up with the incumbent democrat trying to seek and win re-election. derek schmidt is the challenger, the attorney general of kansas. good morning to you. i want to show our viewers the top issues in kansas, inflation, cost of living. abortion, jobs and economy check in at 15%. the referendum on abortion was two months ago august 2nd. we know how that turned out. a strong turnout as well. how do you believe abortion plays in five weeks in your race? >> well, people in kansas went to the polls and made a decision. that settled the issue in front of them and the think they're overwhelmingly focused on other kitchen table issues, cost of living issues, economy and paying their bills. it's what we focused on speaking to in this campaign.

that, education, public safety and crime. you said she supports abortion up to the moment of birth. she says that's simply not true. i think her line is he is making that up. how do you respond to that? >> well, the governor has never articulated any restriction or limitation on abortion that she sports. when she was a legislator she opposed and voted against all the current existing limitations on the books in kansas. many passed with bipartisan support. her views are out of the mainstream on this issue. >> she the oh only democratic governor running for re-election in a state donald trump won. he endorsed you. does he make a difference in this election? >> bill, we have a wide range of support from president trump, governor youngkin, governor desantis, secretary pompeo, former senator dole before he passed away endorsed me in the race. we brought together a strong coalition all across the spectrum. that's why we'll win this race

come november. >> bill: the polling has bounced around over the past month. a close race. the voter makeup in your state. 44% republican. 26% democrat. almost 30% are unaffiliated. why is that? that surprises me in a state like kansas. >> well, kansas has always had a strong, independent streak. it is an independent streak conformed by conservative values. they are looking for somebody they know and trusted to lead their state and run their government. but also to lead with this sort of common sense conservatism that has been absent the last four years in kansas. there is a reason kansas is trailing near the bottom in terms of recovering jobs lost during the governor shutdowns. 44th in the country making up those jobs. we've been in the bottom tier in terms of wage growth and increase. we just can do so much better in

kansas. people in kansas know it. >> bill: thank you for your time. it's one on our radar. laura kelly is welcome to join us any time. invitation is wide open. we'll watch the debate tomorrow, october 5th, between the two of you. thank you for your time and we'll follow it. derek schmidt from kansas. >> sandra: a woman may lose sight in one of her eyes after she was viciously attacked in the new york city subway station and why she is pointing the finger at politicians and will join us live coming up. the fight against the nation's fentanyl crisis. wisconsin couple's warning to fellow parents after losing their son to the deadly drug. they'll join us next. it's nice to unwind after a long week of telling people how liberty mutual customizes your car insurance

nation about the dangers of fentanyl. they have launched a billboard ad campaign in times square showing people who lost their lives to the drug. it includes the couple's own son, logan, who died just last year. aaron and rick join us now. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> sandra: every one of these stories is heartbreaking and painful and so difficult to tell your son's story. but if you can, please do so because i know that's part of your mission for people to understand just how deadly this drug is and that it can take one time. >> absolutely. so thank you for having us. logan, what i would say with logan he represents so many other kids. he was a great kid. we had a great family. we did everything we could. we thought, you know, we teach our kids all the things we think we can teach them. i really think that the reason

why we're spreading this awareness is logan is a good representation of so many other kids. so he passed away from a pill in his college dorm room on valentine's day last year and we want people to know that it can only take one time. gone are the days that, you know, be careful with drugs. it is now life or death. these kids are playing russian roulette if they're experimenting with any drug at any time. >> sandra: i'm sorry for your loss, rick. this took away his life. to erin's point how little amount of this drug can be fatal. people need to know that and part of why you are out there talking about it. we have this penny and pencil comparison that shows how tiny an amount of this fentanyl can take your child's life. they may not have any idea what they are taking at that time. >> no, it's like the graphic

shows, just a few grains the size of salt that can kill the average adult. it is so easy. -- so little that is easy for these drug dealers and cartels and everything to get into our country. it doesn't take very much. so they can distribute this and get it out there. you don't know what it's in. if you are taking something that's not your own prescription, it can be fatal. >> sandra: i know it's your belief that parents on the front line of this. during the commercial break i asked where do you want the priority to be to combat this fentanyl crisis? and it seems to me that you've concluded that we can't do anything today to stop the flow over the border. it will just happen. it is inevitable. we have to deal with it as parents and your mission is now. we have video of you installing narcan boxes on college campuses. this is a reality for teenagers today. >> logan passed in his dorm room. about nine months later another

boy passed from the same thing, the same pill in the same dorm building on the same campus. so that gave us a very big awakening like wow, we need to do something. this campus and every campus does not have the education for these incoming freshmen and kids. we're working really hard to get campuses across our state would love to see it nationwide. but campuses in general need narcan. it is a tool in the toolkit. it won't be 100% but they need it. they need this education. so along with the narcan boxes the university that logan passed away at is the university of wisconsin-milwaukee. they are working with the love logan foundation to create awareness. they are incorporating it in their training when kids come in incoming. so we're working really hard for schools out of the 13 in wisconsin universities do have the narcan boxes and there are more that are going to be

following. >> sandra: when we call it a crisis that's what it is. put the numbers on the screen. u.s. fentanyl deaths. according to the cdc. they killed 72 -- almost 73,000 up until april 2022. that's a number that is continuing to grow. fentanyl deaths just last year adolescents. these numbers are far too big and growing, rick. this is an incredibly difficult time for this country as we see the battle at our southern border to stem the flow of drugs over the border. parents have to deal with this every day. if a parent is listening now and hasn't yet addressed this with their children how do you recommend they do that? >> first and fore most they need to let them know what fentanyl is. they should not take anything from a friend or anything from a stranger, anything -- even a friend that says i know where i got this from. kids are struggling with anxiety and depression, parents need to let their kids know there are

resources for them and parents need to provide those resources for the kids if they are struggling and want to try to self-medicate or experiment they need to talk to them and telling their sons and daughters what to do if they are approached. they need to have a strategy, exit strategy if a friend tries to pressure them or somebody try to sell them so they know what to do. if they have a plan they'll likely follow the plan than succumb to the pressure. >> sandra: something so close to your heart. when you see leadership in the country trying to address the crisis what do you want to see more of? >> i would love to see a continuation of the coverage. fox is doing a great job on that. i would love to see that widespread and education. our country needs to educate kids at a very young age. kids learn at age 3, 4, 5 to not cross the street without looking both ways. we need to teach kids at a young age that pills aren't okay just

to take. what happens is by the time these kids are 11, 12, 13, pills are so normalized in their head from allergy medication, tile lon, others, when they go to a party at age 15 when they are supposed to make mistakes, 16, 17, kids are supposed to make mistakes. they look at a pill and it is not scary. and so it has to be something these parents are taught and these schools have got to get on board. >> sandra: i know you are fighting for your son. so sorry for your loss. thank you for joining us. >> bill: mid-terms 35 days away. there is news in the heated race in battleground p.a. that could help determine the balance of power in the senate. watch this race and listen to karl rove in minutes. plus critics on both sides of the aisle accusing democrats about doing nothing when it comes to the border and the crisis in the american southwest. >> they stopped building the

>> 250,000 migrant children. any issue with that? in your opinion is the border secure? >> i have to go give a speech. >> i'm bill melugin with fox news. do you have a few moments to talk about the border? >> i don't. >> bill: those are democrats in washington. many will simply not cop to the migrant crisis. some insist the border is secure. data shows hundreds of migrants crossing illegally every single day. a record 2 million plus over the past 12 months were encountered in the american southwest. former border patrol chief rodney scott with us now. texas public policy foundation. good morning to you. we're now getting reports about

small private airports being used to enter the u.s. what do you hear about that? >> so the cartels will use any method they possibly can to smuggle commodities, humans or fentanyl into this country. i wish some of those people on the left would have just ignored the border. we handed them a secure border. if they ignored it like they do the questions we would have been better off. they tore down the measures we put in place to secure the border, more secure than ever before. today it's wide open whether it's bringing across drones, small planes, what you are seeing the massive numbers of illegal aliens crossing the southwest border every day. distractions to border patrol so the cartels can bring in the fentanyl that your guests that were on earlier were talking about. my heart goes out to that family and to logan specifically. all that fentanyl comes from

mexico and it could be stopped. this administration is ignoring it. >> sandra: why is this not a bigger priority, then? >> they campaigned on this. how will they go back on their word? i can't speculate on what the in-state in. is facts are our border is completely wide open. 2.2 million arrests they try to claim show the border is secure is a farce. most of those gave up the border patrol agents and we left hundreds of miles of border open every single day. if you want to know the truth if the border is secure or not ask a border patrol agents not mayorkas. they won't lie to you like he is. >> bill: 55,000 gotaways every month this year. 55,000 people crossed the border undetected. pick them up on cameras or sensors down the road. in new york i think we're up to 15,000 who have been brought here by bus. here is our mayor, eric adams, who has been on the job six months. >> the far right is doing the

wrong thing. the far left is doing nothing. i mean, the silence -- i don't believe the silence i'm hearing. >> bill: one thing he could do is go to the border himself. he and abbott are going at it publicly back and forth. the silence about the far left doing nothing. how do you react to that? >> yeah, i'm glad he is finally spinning out. amazing he is whining over a couple thousand when a city like del rio, texas, the whole population is only 36,000 and they are inspected to ingest 40,000 new transients every month. this is -- this needs some attention and i believe the governor is doing everything he can to help his local communities and keep the country safe even though it's a federal responsibility. first thing the mayor could do is shut down the sanctuary city status new york has. that will also help. >> sandra: this is something.

border patrol chief tweeted this over the weekend. 1,442 migrants apprehended. five rescues, four gang members arrested. one sex offender, 338 pounds of meth, ten pounds of fentanyl. great job honor first. that's the reality of the situation today. >> yeah, the border is wide open. when you talk about it from just a migrant perspective you lose the fact that the cartel is controlling what crosses our border today. that's because of the policies that the biden administration put in place. if you look at the seizures that operation lone star has made in texas over 300,000 arrests, 300 pounds of fentanyl. the only reason they're there is border patrol isn't there because this administration has them processing asylum seekers most are fraudulent that don't meet the criteria. >> thank you.
