concerned, embarrassed by the russian military operations and more, carley, ashley. >> ashley: former state department spokeswoman morgan ortagus lays out the real stakes of biden upcoming meeting with president xi, listen. >> i think he will size up biden before putin invaded ukraine. we had a moment where of taiwan not off of the table in this meeting is something small on the news and biden met with another world leader. this is come i think the most important meeting of his presidency so far. there are no room for missteps. there is no room for this to be screwed up because whatever xi jinping effects -- >> carley: we will have live analysis with national security and military analyst and grant as well as congressman what michael waltz. >> carley: fox news alert

university of virginia students told to shelter in place while the police search for the suspect on an on-campus shooting. no word yet on any entries after shots rang out. the campus garage late last night, the university of virginia football player was last on the team in 2018 did not play any games. authorities say the suspect is considered armed and dangerous. the battle for house majority is coming down to the wire as republicans pick up another key state. >> ashley: jackie ibanez has the latest, jackie. >> good morning ladies the republicans inching towards house majority is the district picks up the g.o.p. win. as it stands now, once in that seat is still left in play and 19 seats remain up for grabs in the house. it comes as republican lori chavis beats republic jamie macleod scanner flipping the fifth district seat read for the first time since 1997.

another crucial victory for the g.o.p. as they close in on control of the house with republicans holding 212 out of 218 needed for majority. and with democrats clinching the senate, both parties gearing up for a runoff election between republican herschel walker and raphael warnock. senate democrats are projecting to $7 million towards raphael warnock's campaign ahead of next month's election. senator tom cotton calling it crucial for the g.o.p., listen. >> the most important thing we can do is elect herschel walker to make sure we keep the pressure on democrats in the senate not to go too far to the left as they have in the last two years. >> republicans now debating whether to delay the senate leadership elections next week until after the runoff. >> now they want to rush through an election. we have a name and finished what's happening in georgia. that is what my focus is. we shouldn't have these elections. >> senator lindsey graham also

taking to twitter saying in part, "in light of the georgia senate runoff would be inappropriate to delay senate leadership elections until we know who's in the senate republican congress. otherwise it would be disrespectful to herschel walker. as of now, many g.o.p. leaders pushing forward with plans to hold the elections next week, carley, ashley. >> ashley: jackie ibanez, house speaker nancy pelosi to left off the idea house minority leader kevin mccarthy has what it takes to sit in her seat. listen. >> you are uniquely qualified to understand what it takes to be speaker of the house. >> the outcome i do, i do. i can see it happening. >> why would i make a judgment of that? something that may or may not ever happen. but that is up to his own people to make a decision as to how they want to be led. >> ashley: nancy pelosi tried to point out control of the

house has not yet decided despite republicans inching closer to the majority. and here is mark levin on the outcome of the election and the next steps for republicans. >> the democrats and the media are celebrating. what are they celebrating? there red wave. it never happened! it wasn't going to happen. not in the senate, for sure. but they are deluding themselves. the democrats made no progress in the senate, and they desperately needed to make progress this election cycle. when the math was 100%, 100%. and 2024 a horrendous situation with two-thirds it to mike two-thirds of the senate seat or up or democrat seats. and they are celebrating that they only lost the house by a relative few votes, but they lost the house.

the g.o.p. canal block these radical kook programs that biden is pushing. they conduct investigations. they can do what they need to do. but is this good enough? no, it's not good enough. if the republicans allow the same d.c. establishment that you see on tv all the time telling you how smart they are and they know everything, if they allow them to control the agenda and the money, the future is bleak. >> carley: let's bring an republican strategist chris spirit good morning to you. a little bit of optimism from mark 11 but a lot of republicans are surprised about the news ovr the weekend that the democrats e seat which is considered the best pickup opportunities for republicans. what happened there in overall, what happened no red waves that people anticipated? >> first off, i think mark is right in many ways, but some

things are going to have to change drastically for our party. i think we will have to frantically start opening up and truly embracing young people, minorities and women. i think it will be vitally important. he is right, we can't have the same establishment but we can have the same from a media standpoint representing the party. it is time to open up a little bit and have a little freedom and optimism and start to have young folks. obviously, that made history that came out for democrats. we certainly know that a lot of young people and a lot of women and minorities have conservative viewpoints but we need to embrace that more. and a stronger wave of support. >> you talk about embracing that in this new strategy that i think a lot of people would agree, especially you think about the gen z vote and

minorities but how can republican shift gears slightly to get that vote but still stay with their core values? >> that is a great question. look, we have to do things differently, frankly. we are going to have to start concluding that democratic party. i think it will come down from everything from grassroots to actually engaging in activities that actually embrace them. i think it will be vitally important. we need to go inside the schools and really, look, when you look at churches for example, many of the christians, many of us are, the values especially minorities, that is what they stand for and obviously being christened many values, that needs to be talked about more and embraced more. and i think if we had an approach that was a little more tangible and a little more realistic to them and

understood, i think it would be invited to the party. a lot of folks talk to me and many of my other folks that are commentators. they have these conversations but a quiet conversation. you look at these races and look how close these races are pure look at nevada. look at also some of the house races, california right now which i think still 50%. but races like that show how close things are right now. and i think looking forward to the process and what we have that is at stake. i think the party really has to cultivate that and really engaged to do a much better job right now. >> ashley: does the news out of nevada change anything when it comes to how much energy and money and time spent in georgia? how important is that georgia senate race now for both parties to pick up? >> i think the senator's right, nevada, georgia is very, very important right now especially

with a tie so to speak. obviously, a vp coming to cast a vote. i think georgia will be immense to make immensely important right now. when you look how many votes from the independent party 80,000 votes from the independent that ran, but enthusiasm is not going to be at the same in georgia in this runoff as it was this past week. so, i think that is a benefit for the the g.o.p. herschel walker has to get down there in the grassroots and reach out to a lot more communities. i think he has to reach out to people. and i think really, he needs to invigorate the g.o.p. base. one thing everything possible and high-ranking person. we need to get our folks out there to really engage in the process and really set a standard that says, we are here to support. it speaks for itself. we have high gas prices and inflation is absolutely out of control. things are bad in this country.

70% of people getting a second job to make ends meet, it is totally unacceptable. you have 50% of americans saying their financial situation is worse off than last year than it is right now. it is absolutely worse than last year. it is absolutely ridiculous and we have to shift a few things lightly to embrace and get them to the party. the one former donald trump moving towards likely 2024 presidential campaign announcement and some people are saying this could be too soon. this could potentially affect the georgia runoff race. what do you make of all of this and the timing of it? >> you know, i think what you say is accurate, but the approach come again i think it can affect things. and i don't know if it's for the best. i personally think that he should wait. i don't know if it can help or hurt georgia. again, it may not be the best right now. but look, there is a lot of

folks in the party split on former president trump running for office. it can cause a lot of issues on both sides of the aisle. i think it is advantageous just a little bit so we can get through this election. and i think his announcing -- the unfortunate part if president trump announces he will run for president of the united states, it will certainly take away much, take away from the georgia election and that will not be a positive thing for herschel walker. they need to focus on him right now and that is great that we are talking perhaps about a vote for -- i think everything needs to be focused on that race. and obviously the g.o.p. is doing the same. he has raised $3 million in the first day or two after announcing the runoff. everything has to be focused on that right now because that will be vital for the future. >> carley: president trump will announce on tuesday, it's running for president a very professional buttoned up

announcement some more to come on that for sure. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> carley: indiana congressman jim banks oversight would be the top priority of the g.o.p. led to house after the democrat led body failed with major white house decisions after biden took office. >> congress did not do their job to provide that type of oversight. oversight of the origins of covid, the lockdowns, the closure of schools and the outcome of that. we have never had congressional oversight into any of those actions by the biden administration. even a slim republican majority, we will have the gavels of each of these committees and oversight is a primary function. >> carley: promising to investigate the withdrawal from afghanistan and takeover of kabul which 13 u.s. service members were killed in that situation. twitter integrity team playing a

part in censoring the hunter biden laptop story ahead of the platform's trust and safety unit allegedly preventing users from sharing or scenting "new york post" on the president's son. he resigned from his position last week after the elections. he did survive a massive twitter of playoffs as elonva says he has high integrity. back in 2020 when he justified the censorship saying he spoke with government officials numerous times and want a potential leak would involve hunter biden. and national education association has parents up in arms over the weekend. the top teachers union tweeted this, "educators love their students and no better than anyone, they need to learn and thrive." parents slamming the tweet saying the parent should have a final say in their children's education. this is after tensions between the teachers union heightened over the last few years over the

♪ ♪ >> carley: texas officials now considering busing migrants as this comes as biden's border chief resigned after pressure from homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas. joining us with the details, doug. >> good morning, philadelphia bracing for the rifle of illegal immigrants from texas. the latest major city to have to deal with the broader southern border crisis. here is what the mayor's office there is saying. we don't have an exact location

where the bus will disempower nor will we have specific information about those on board nor do we know if other buses are planned. in other of other cities with busload of immigrants including new york, according to "the new york post" the independent budget office estimates this will cost the city $600 million a year. a number of border officials say that congress and the administration need to act. >> every state is a border state in a completely under unacceptable that it is happening and i try to hold biden accountable. if i use the tools in my toolbox until congress gets together and do something whether impeaching alejandro mayorkas or making a security of the border. >> a higher-level departure of the head of u.s. customs and border protection is stepping

down. chris magnus turned in his resignation letter's saturday towing the president, "i'm cementing my rights that nation immediately. i wish you and your administration the best going forward. thank you for the opportunity." there are a number of reports that chris magnus was told to resign or he would be fired a purity was confirmed less than a year ago, back to you guys. >> carley: doug luzader live in washington thank you so much. let's bring in jonathan fahey and dhs deputy assistant secretary, jonathan. let's talk about that possible drama with chris magnus resigning as head of cpc here and what led to that resignation? >> i think he's just a scapegoat because this administration has gotten a significant amount of bad press. so they had to do something the pretense of taking this issue seriously. so he was somebody easy to throw under the bus here and what is

interesting about it, you talked about he was let go for not taking the issue seriously, but the whole purpose of why he was brought in the understanding that he wouldn't take the issue seriously. they wanted someone with law enforcement that would come in and keep the border open. he shouldn't be upset because he was doing exactly what they wanted him to do, which is, in fact, nothing. again, he is just a fall guy and the elections come i'm sure alejandro mayorkas will be the one going. but let go and continue the open border policy. >> carley: now answer the question now that he is gone, when anything change policy wise? and it sounds like you are saying, "no." >> i think this election gave the green light to continue open borders policy. i don't see them changing in any respect. they will put somebody else in

there with law enforcement background to keep it going. the real issue the borders most visibly but the immigration issue that they said they will not deport anybody. as soon as they set on soil, given every right that citizens, united states citizens. between illegal immigrants and united states citizens, this administration eyes, they don't have to pay the phone bill. >> carley: a democrat calling on to biden administration to do something when it comes to the southern border but his message is apparently falling on deaf ears. he said the president hasn't talked to him since he took office. listen to this. >> i haven't talked to him since he was running for election. but again, i offer myself as a resource because again, i don't just visit the border. i actually live here at the border. >> carley: understand they are over 200 democrats and the

caucus house but henry cuellar is an outspoken democrat. he represents a vulnerable district that they could have lost by one. a lot of hispanics as well. that comment came to a surprise to a lot of people. >> yeah, i think he is in a tricky situation with this border issue. because he can't just toe the line, the biden line of borders policy. he is making a lot of noise about it. but there is no reason for the president to visit him or visit the border. it's not this idea that the president or the administration doesn't know how bad it is. it is completely untrue. they know what is going on there and the drugs coming through. they know about human trafficking but they simply don't care appear at the highest priority is open borders. and henry cuellar the interesting thing is he's making a lot of noise about it but where has he been on voting when they were majority where he could have found something? it's almost like a green light

for this administration but, in fact, has he done anything? has he shown political will or will he speak out against it and allow the biden administration to continue with the border policy? >> carley: he has one guy and ad one democrat that feels that way. you see so many feeling the exact opposite when it comes to border policies. i want to hear your reaction to "the new york post" reporting on this morning. 40-year-old was found in possession of approximately 20,000 multicolored m- 30 fentanyl pills. charged with controlled substance in the first degree. the records show he was freed without bail. the city asked that he be held on $100,000 cash bail or $250,000 bond. the judge said, "no, he is free to go." >> talk about not taking issue seriously. last year 107,000 overdose

deaths. and we are turning at this administration and a lot of prosecutors are not even treating this issue seriously. we will continue my guess is we will have another record this year. but it is truly remarkable. in a significant amount of pills, they should be locked up. this is done. we are not tolerating this anymore. but again this administration and prosecutors allowing this to happen. other than for show, this network doesn't really cover with any degree of seriousness. it should be the leading story with so many people dying. these are young people dying every single day. >> carley: i remember when politico playbook criticized vilma lucian for trying to shock people when it came to southernr stories. because of what's going on with the south arm border is shocking and it deserves more attention. if the republicans take the house and it looks like it's

trending that direction, what would you want them to do when it comes to the border issue? what is the first thing they should be doing? >> one think they can take advantage. they have the ability to control -- they should insist on money to go to the border, border security. but again with this administration comic they won't enforce a lawsuit. they have a million border control agents. it was essential would be same. but public hearings bring alejandro mayorkas an end explain what is going on under oath. what are they doing with border patrol agents? punishing them for simply doing their jobs. this administration does everything they can to to discourage and actually punish people that enforce the law and uphold their own. it is a total disgrace. but the real reason with the administration not intent on forcing the law. >> carley: more to come in 2024 for sure.

president biden have had five phone calls since the president took office in january 2021. but like you said, the first time they are meeting face to face and a lot is at stake right now with this meeting described as the most important meeting since president biden took office. you have the war in ukraine, tensions over taiwan and so much more. with that international relations expert rebecca grant who joins us now, great time to have you on the program with the president and the two countries china and the u.s. meeting for the first time face to face here talk about what is at stake with this meeting and why it is so important. >> it is a very important meeting, cordial greeting to start off, but the fact is china is making the world a more dangerous place. now, let's remember this is president xi jinping's first trip out to the best sense covid and only second trip in the last two and a half years. president xi jinping the best

customers of the g20 he wants to show up as world influence. biden has got to remind them to simmer down on the conflict spots and remind that the u.s. is still the world's leader. >> ashley: rebecca when you talk about him being stern with president xi jinping today and it comes to people like vladimir putin, china and russia have become over the course of the years, so what would that look like if biden says, "hey i need you to be tough on the issues with the war in ukraine. how can you expect xi jinping to go against his new friend essentially? >> right, china and russia are basically allies. supporting the war in ukraine. and biden's big cass today is to figure out how strong china support for russia really is. would china quietly back off a little bit? pressure for peace or is china

going to continue to buy energy, supply arms and enabling russia to recap like in ukraine? >> carley: we are looking at the left-hand side of your screen the images of this bilateral discussion is set to take place. we are not expecting a joint statement from china and the united states after this meeting, but the president will be delivering remarks and taking questions 8:30 eastern time. you know, the relations between china and the united states, dr. grant, has sunk to new lows. in recent years nancy pelosi's trip to taiwan and trained as a response as a result. and both on the parts of china and the united states one biden administration said we have engaged in serious sustained thousands and thousands of hours of quiet diplomacy behind the scenes. that may come as a surprise to some who do not trust china and

distance themselves further from the country. >> china cut off climate talks after the nancy pelosi visit. the state department wants communications to flow again but be very careful. biden has to deliver a strong message on defending taiwan, get some answers on north korea. he's got to push back on china's nuclear buildup. so, all quite hours of talks don't matter as much of biden delivering a strong and appropriate message today in that meeting with their teams in bali. >> carley: we see that president biden and xi jinping walking into the bilateral meeting. we were told that there would be a shot of them. we saw a little bit of fat shot with a camera cut off for the handshake. but the doctor grant committed same like a little bit of a friendly encounter despite the fact there is so much tension.

you see the president sitting there. janet yellen on his right-hand side. and antony blinken on his left-hand side right there. people in masks also an interesting thing. let's dip in and we can hear the president right now. watch this. >> another candidate with useful conversations over the years. they are kind enough to call me and congratulate me and i congratulate you as well. and i believe there is a little substitute vote for face-to-face discussions. as you know, come committed to keep the lines of communications open between you and me personally but our governments across the board. because our two countries have so much that we have an opportunity to deal with. as a leader of the two nations, we share responsibility, mind you, to show that china and the

united states can manage our differences, prevent competition from becoming anything near a conflict and to find ways to work together on urgent, global issues that require mutual cooperation. and i believe this is critical. for the sake of our two countries and the international community. this is a key to the fame of cup 27 meeting where i spoke on friday and will be discussing a lot of these challenges together, i hope over the next couple of hours. in the world expects, i believe china and the united states to play key roles in addressing local challenges from claimant changes to food insecurity. for us to be able to work together. the united states stands ready to do that, work with you if

that is your desire. so president xi, i look forward to continuing and ongoing and honest dialogue that we have always had. i thank you for the opportunity. >> mr. president, it is good to see you. the last time we met was in 2017 during the world economic forum and dabo's that was already more than five years ago. well, since you assumed the presidency, we have maintained communication by conferences, phone calls and letters. but none of them can really substitute face to face exchanges. and today, we will finally have this face-to-face meeting.

from the initial contact in the establishment of diplomatic relations to today, china and the united states have gone through 50 plus eventful years. we have gained experience, and we have also learned lessons. history is the best textbook. so, we should take history as a mirror and let it guide the future. currently, the china u.s. relationship is in such a situation that we all care a lot about it because this is not the fundamental interest of our two countries and peoples. and it is not one of the

international community. as leaders of the two major countries, we need to chart the right course for the china/u.s. relationship. we need to find the right direction for the bilateral relationship going forward and elevate the relationship. a statesman should think about and nowhere to lead his country. he should also think about and know how to get along with other countries and the wider world. well, and this time and age, ways are unfolding like never before, humanity are confronted with unprecedented challenges. the world has come to a crossroads where to go from here, this is a question that is

not only on our minds, but also on the mind of all countries pure the world expects that china and the united states will properly handle the relat relationship. and for our meeting, it has captured the world's attention. so we need to work with all countries to bring more hope to world peace, greater confidence in local stability and stronger emphasis on development. in our meeting today, i'm ready to have a candid as we always did have a candid and exchange of interviews with you with strategic importance in china u.s. relations and all major global and relational issues. i look forward to work with you, mr. president to bring china

back to the stable growth of the benefit of our two countries in the world as a whole. thank you. >> you just watch the opening remarks between president biden and president xi jinping ahead of the most important meeting since he took office with the chinese president. the president said there is no substitute to a face-to-face meeting. the goal of this meeting is for china in the united states to handle our differences in a way that competition does not enter conflict and then chinese president xi jinping said history is the best textbook. so we should let history be our guide. we need to work with all countries to bring on world peace. let's bring back end dr. rebecca grant. dr. grant, one of the things that stood out to me with these opening remarks is that the first thing that the president said was his main objective is

climate change. what stuck out to you? >> yes, getting climate change back but biden said, hey, president xi jinping do you want to cooperate? and he had a stern opening, and he said history, the other history of beating up china. he says he wants to elevate the relationship. that is code word for drop the tariffs. so really pretty stern attack from xi jinping. they will have a lot to talk about with that big delegation. i hope biden doesn't go too far with claimant change because every solar investment here really benefits china, which controls up to 97% of the solar panel manufacturing supply ch chain. >> remember when xi jinping was talking to the end, the relationships with u.s. and china but also to get along with

other countries. what did you make of that comment? >> another excellent call. that is what the world is waiting to see is xi jinping going to cooperate and be a true statesman? but you know, we've been waiting 20 years for that to happen. that is why china was brought into the wto with the trade benefits. what we have seen over 20 years as economic espionage competition and military buildup. so, that would be great if xi jinping becomes a statesman and i hope we made progress today. but i thought that was a pretty stern opening by xi jinping. >> carley: a pretty stern opening by xi jinping and a meeting that will go down in history. the first time meeting face-to-face ahead of the g20 summit tomorrow that starts tomorrow and comes with so much going on with taiwan. obviously, the threat there. the war in ukraine and china becoming very close with russia throughout that war here at the

ongoing threat about what the nuclear ambitions of all of the actors between china, russia, iran, also korea and then seeming to group together in a strange alliance at this very time here that is wiping considered such an important meeting, dr. grant, thank you for joining us this morning. we will keep an eye on all things out of this meeting in bali. we appreciated. in the meantime back at home 65,000 residents in california will no longer have officers performing daytime patrols in their neighborhood. the sheriff's office is shutting them down because of their "catastrophic static gnomic staffing shortages." difficulties with recruitment and into the filmic retention of employees directly linked to pay disparities. and also an inability to prevent

enticing efforts. as a spokesman for the national police association sergeant betsy. thank you for being with us this morning. this is not something the police want. they don't want to say we will not go to work during the day. but what at what point will it resonate with everyone? they are not getting paid enough to do this job that they are doing. >> well, that is absolutely true. the trip has been warning the county board for well over a year. the deputies get paid $20,000 to $40,000 less than other law enforcement officers in the area. and i understand the sheriff's department have to staff the jail, and the jail is only staffed at 60% right now. and the largest county -- i'm sorry the largest city has a violent crime rate of 97% higher than any other city in the country. so this is catastrophic, not for the police officers but

catastrophic for the citizens. >> ashley: i think that is what people get mistaken that it will affect the people and not the police. but i do want to talk about this as far as not only the pay, but how dangerous? and not to get off topic too much but the sanitation worker -- this is nothing against them -- a sanitation worker gets paid more than city police officer. that is saying something. you talk about the police officer shot and killed in the line of duty. so far this year, it has been 50 officers. last year all of 2021 was 51. so we are almost at that break. what do you make of that? >> well, we truly have a war on cops in the united states. we have had over 105 police officer shot. 55 shot fatally. we have 60,000 police officers assaulted every single day in this country.

and yet, in california where they have this issue, california has so much police report happening in their department of justice investigates police officers who "shoot someone who is unarmed." and yet, when you look at those cases, people come out with an airsoft guns, knives, tech police officers with motor vehicles. that is one of the things law enforcement officers in california and other states, they just feel nullified. they are exhausted of being called racist and tired of being lied about. cops just want to do their job. that job is to protect their communities. but they need to be able to make a living wage to wing it. >> ashley: the living wage to do a job is dangerous as it is. what is the bare minimum. sergeant betsy brantner smith, thank you for getting up early with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me.
