♪ ♪ if. ♪ ♪ emily: welcome back to "fox & friends." you are looking live at newport, rhode island. a beautiful, sunny morning. two of us are in new york city, and will is live in el paso ahead of president biden's visit today. good morning, guys. happy 8:00 hour.

pete: indeed. morning, will. how's it going there? it's still pretty dark, but you've got a border wall behind you and a president finally decided at least to make a layover, three hours, in el paso today. will: yeah. it is still dark, as you mentioned, it's 6 a.m. here in the mountain time zone of el paso, texas. it's approximately, i would say, 35 degrees. and to your point, pete, this is the second time that it's been sort of a layover for president biden in his career to visit the southern border. once before it was driving through the, essentially, and today it's a stopover on his way to mexico city. the el paso sector of our southern border is 2 the 68 miles -- 268 miles. it includes portions of new mexico. i'm sitting just yards from the rio grande river are, and a section of the border wall. you know, pete and emily, i'm looking at essentially right here next to me is -- we'll go over here in just a moment, this

is the heavy metal border wall you've come to expect, two layers of razor wire, but it is right here. pete: it just ends? will: you can see it on the far side of your screen. well, and now you're looking at makeshift fencing that's held up by sandbags, you know, looks like it could have been put up last week. i'm sure it wasn't, but, yeah. essentially, the border wall you've come to realize, come to envision ends right there. and you see those cars and buildings, that's all juarez, mexico. emily: wow. and, will, where you're sitting today is an epicenter, it's sort of the example of what's going on there at the southern border which is american cities and towns that are bearing the brunt of that porous southern border. these cities and towns use their own resources, their own tax dollars to try to help along with nonprofits like the american red cross there at el paso to try to manage the massive flow of migrants

including a disaster declaration by the mayor to try to open up shelters for these illegal immigrants, and the state's unable to assist with resources because the whole state is being threatened. and the administration refusing to acknowledge the problem at all despite numerous lawsuits by governors, by attorneys general. and the media, at least on our side, covering it extensively. however, now, will, what we've been seeing is the streets in el paso miraculously are all of a sudden clean. weirdly, there's nobody out. all of the little immigrants are gone, all of their leftover remaining blankets and trash swept up. what you're looking at on the screen is el paso on wednesday and then on thursday. if that is striking. i doubt you will see that on the cover of the new york i'ms. "the new york times." will: no, i doubt it. in fact, the border patrol union tweeted this on friday, el paso being clean ared up as if nothing unusual ever happened just in time for joe biden's

visit. we suggest landing in des moines, iowa -- [laughter] telling him it's the el paso. he'll never know difference. pete: that's staggering. i mean, i think it was douglas murray that used the analogy of a flood, presidents go to see flood, you finished the analogy, will. it's like getting rid of all the water and the damage from the flood and then having the president visit. in the meantime, it got me thinking of a village who in the 18th century for cathing run the great put up fake villages. it was in crimea with. prime minister, take a look -- you've got to believe they're going to go to the border wall, right? and hale have a very scripted, choreographed processing center where just the right amount of migrants, just the right amount of women and children, give me a good mix, pretty diverse, send it across the border, and the

agents will orderly process them and move through so that joe biden can be told all is well, everything worked and the border is closed, according to mayorkas. will: you know, pete, what -- i'm glad you brought up that analogy. i was reading about that the other day. i mean, it wasn't tied to this, and that was catherine the great. they would take her on a river tour, right, and they would build these fake villages to say look at your wonderful kingdom, look at it. and then as she would pass, they'd tear it down and run out ahead a couple miles and rebuild the village so she'd be, like, wow, this is really beautiful. that's exactly what's happening today in el paso. emily: that's biden's america. what a travesty, frankly. earlier we had robbie scott, former u.s. border patrol chief. he said when he was acting chief many san diego, president trump came down to visit the border. he was given two directives, to give the president a tour and to apprise him of the situation, to

brief him on what was going on. if however, when president biden comes into town, then here are your talking points, here is what you are going to say. these scripted concepts of this administration. this president has zero access to the truth, apparently because he doesn't turn on the tv, he doesn't turn on fox news, he can't see for himself. everything is scripted. everything is manufactured by this administration, and none bear the brunt more than the american citizens that live in those southern border states and the u.s. border patrol, those men and women, day in and day out in uniform that are risking their lives and sometimes sacrificing their lives to save these illegal immigrants that are dying trying to get across the border. pete: that that's the reason we're covering it so much because it is an invasion, it is unprecedented, it is ruining the lives of u.s. citizens whose communities have an influx of people, not to mention the humanitarian disaster of trying to make the trip and women and children.

so we're talking about this because it is so bad, and that's why there's so much frustration that he'll get a sanitized view of it. will: yeah. emily mentioned the former border patrol chief on our program earlier, and this is what he had to say. >> as soon as the biden administration came into power when i was chief of the u.s. border patrol, all of our communication was locked down, we were handed scripted talking points, and we were very, very closely monitored and watched by political appointees. i guarantee that's still going on. but if joe biden as president of the united states wants the truth, he can demand the truth. we can talk about the cartels, and i don't think people really understand. they use these migrants, these illegal aliens once they're in the united states as tools to overwhelm law enforcement so that they can bring in other threats, other things. and that is happening 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. we can put presse back their own citizens, but that's the other thing this administration has

not done. they've not leveraged any of the power this nation has to get other countries to step up and do their part. will: yeah, there you go. there's -- pete: go ahead, will. will: i was going to say, pete, you know, before rodney, we talked with some local residents here in el paso about just how bad this has gotten. and i don't believe, pete and emily -- look, we can have a conversation about whether or not the truth is being hidden from joe biden. he knows the truth. he has a television. one of the ten programs in the white house has the fox news channel on. this is about creating a village for the american public and the cameras that follow joe biden. this is about hiding the truth from the people, quite honestly, that don't watch pox. pete: that's an excellent point, will. the reason he didn't want to go so long and will only be there for a short period of time is because the press pool follows him, a press pool that normally ignores this issue. and they'll be forced to.

that's why they're cleaning it up, so that that press pool keeps the bubble around biden that preserves the fake narrative that everything is okay. emily: i have to say too, don't forget the vice president is the border czar. so, you know, i would be remiss if we talked about president biden and didn't acknowledge that she too has failed to go to the border, she too has failed to accomplish or acknowledge anything about the situation. today it's about the president finally going for the first time in his million year career there taking our tax dollars as his salary. obviously, it's sanitize thed, but that entire white house, the entire succession has failed utterly in even acknowledging this problem. pete: very much so. but you know who never fails us? that is shannon bream. she is the "fox news sunday" anchor and fox news chief legal correspondent, and we love seeing her on sundays. shannon, good morning. >> good morning, gang. you are spread all over the u.s., it's great to see you. pete: as always. we want to shift to politics, to the big event that happened this

week, you know, overnight, midnight kevin mccarthy given the gavel as the speaker of the house. but they deferred on a rules package that hay ultimately now have to agree on to get to work. that vote, i believe, is scheduled for monday. what does the future of a gop-led house look like with that vote and legislation? >> yeah. listen, it's going to be tricky. as you guys know, this is such a slim majority, not what they were hope for with talk the of a red tsunami last fall. but as you saw, 15 ballots to get to the new speaker, there's going to have to be a lot of negotiation. so the new rules package is out there. i've been going through sort of the 12 pages, some of it you'll recognize, things that they had decided about how and when to vote on certain things. but after all of those negotiations, we already see some members popping up and saying i don't like the new rules package. so, listen, there's been a lot of negotiating to get to this point, but it's not over. you're right, they've got to get these done before they can start doing things that are substantive in nature.

so still some folks not happy with the end result, so we'll see if they can get it together on monday and, hopefully, not another 15 rounds of votes on the rules. of. will: so, shannon, i'm going to fire off, unfortunately, several questions in one, but i think they all go together, and hopefully you can handle it. one, what are the members saying they don't like about this rules package; two, what if they don't pass it? if i mean, what is the fallout, i mean, the repercussions now? there's not much leverage left for the 20 happenshay don't pass the rules package that was part of the concession to elect mccarthy as speaker? >> it's interesting, congressman tony gonzalez, from -- for one, on twitter saying, oh, i don't like the new rules package. there's so much there, 12 pages, very, very detailed. so it'll be interesting now that members are kind of recovering from what happened late into the night friday, early saturday morning. many of hem will come back on

monday, so we haven't herald their specific objections other than the general consensus from some of them that they're not happy with what ended up on paper. the house has to operate. you've got a speaker now, all the members are sworn in now. they're going of to have to figure it out because the vote is going to happen, and they do not, the gop does not want to have a repeat of last week. they had a lot of sausage making, everybody got to watch it happen, but now the pressure is on them to actually govern. so i think it's going to be a lot less messy. there may be some objections and some back and forth, but they know that the time for, you know, gamesmanship is over. these folks who were objecting got nearly everything they asked for in this package, so it's got to come together and quickly. emily: and, shannon, do we have any indication who those members are that have those issues with the rules? is it the same members of the freedom caucus? is it the same 20 or so names that we've been discussing a lot in this last week, or is it different members that heretofore were allies of

mccarthy? >> i think mostly it's that group of 20 although they've been pretty quiet this weekend. i think everybody 's letting the dust settle a little bit over what happened friday and saturday. nearly coming to a physical altercation on the floor. i think everybody wants to cool off from that. tony gonzalez is the one that's out there publiclyr saying i don't like it. we'll have to see. there are others who are saying, listen, this is what we negotiated down to. it gives conservatives much more than they would have gotten going into the speaker vote, so let's take the wins and run with it. so we'll see. a lot of, i think, silence is doing the speaking now for those 20 who finally whether they voted present or voted for kevin mccarthy, they're done talking for now. pete: many of them voted for your guest this sunday, jim jordan. tell us who you have this sunday. >> yeah, jim jordan's going to be with us. there's a lot of criticism out there from people and mainstream pundits and the left saying this

proves that you guys are extremists who can't get it done. he's pledged a lot of investigations. where do they go from here and prove they can get things done. we've also got democrat congressman ro khanna prosecute other side of the hill. we're going to talk about some of what he was saying. he was potentially willing to forge a deal with republicans on a consensus speaker, didn't come to that. also about the border, does the white house have to own this thing. and also because congressman khanna was one of the few people that appeared in these twitter files to show up and say, ah, there are free speech concerns here, there are more twitter revelations yesterday that i want to ask him about as well and does he think that the white house now owes us an explanation. pete: the twitter files continue, and you're covering it. shannon bream, thank you so much. you can watch "fox news sunday" at 2 p.m. on the fox news channel. thank you, shannon. on to another political topic, and it's not the fact that joe biden's now saying he wants to run in 2024, and the new york post is saying, joe,

no, along with the rest of us. could he really be doing it. it's another topic "the new york post" is going to expose. the new york post is willing to talk about hunter biden, they're willing to talk about topics, and it's the longest running paper in america, topics a lot of newspapers will never touch. one of those is what's happening to your kids in classrooms, and specifically in manhattan, where it's about as crazy as you can imagine with the gender woke nonsense. and one article caught our eye this week that we wanted to share with you, and it was it was a mother expressing the emotional stress that comes with raising a daughter in this city and what's happening to their relationship. here's the quote. she said, the emotional stress is unbelievable. get this, i consider myself a democrat and a liberal, but it doesn't matter. i've had fights with some of my girls just because i wouldn't get myself a rainbow pride if starbucks cup. the cup itself has become this huge battleground.

apparently, it matters what cup you hold. will, the article goes on to talk about -- [laughter] the schism between parents and kids. this is new york, but it's happening across the country. they're ripping our kids away from parents. will: you know, it's such a reflection also, pete, of how shallow this movement is. you can say it's about a -- look, if you're concerned, and these are children, but if they're concerned about a cup, i mean, this is what we talk about when we talk about virtue signal, right? it reminds me of that scene in seinfeld, have you ever seen where cosmo kramer went to the -- it was a pride, no, office an aids rally. he was standing up against aids. i'm here to march against aids. here's the ribbon. he's like, nah, i don't want to wear the ribbon. what do you mean? well, i'm going to march. you have to wear the ribbon. [laughter] the whole society is built around wearing the ribbon. you have to show your virtue in

the most value low ways at all times -- shallow ways. but that being said, this is so soars. you guys, both of you, had a wonderful interview to about what's going on with these children. a woman named kay yang, she's self-deprogrammed, she's working to help others take their kids out of this indoctrination. watch this. >> we used things of -- themes of acceptance, anti-bullying and suicide prevention in order to gain sympathy and trust from teachers and participants -- parents. and ten years ago no one had ever herald of a trans child. the work i was doing at the lgbt center was helping to pave the way for the creation and normalization of the so-called trans child. children are not trans, and children cannot consent to puberty blockers, wrong sex hormones and surgeries that alter hair healthy bodies and sterilize them. i think it is going to get worse, you know?

the gender identity industry has really spread its tentacles into every facet of our society. i think that's here. this is a coordinated attack on our children, and it's being done in the name of trans rights. emily: and we're sort of tracking two different things here. so one involves that interview with kay there where it was the structured impact, the structured tendrils that have infill tauted public schools -- infiltrated public schools, public grants, public centers, and the second thing is "the new york post" article just before that, the impact on families and the real results where children have stopped speaking to their parents. the article goes on to detail these really heartbreaking experiences where mothers have had their children cut off contact for a very simple, seemingly simple infraction, the starbucks cup being one of them, watching a certain news network being another. and it discusses the shame that a lot of these parents feel at having to admit my child doesn't speak to me anymore. my child doesn't speak to me

because i do not succumb to the activism that is running rampant through public schools and the indock try may noted social media world, the peer-to-peer airportlies that are making every kid, oh, wear the ribbon? okay, i'll douse myself in the uniform, right? it's real consequences, to your point, will, and frankly, it's heartbreaking. will: that's exactly right. emily: all right. turning now to your headlines, the man accused of shooting a scottsdale police sergeant is dead after a shootout with phoenix police last night. the sergeant was shot on friday while trying to serve a warrant. the suspect escaped after jumping from a second story balcony. the police eventually tracked him down, leading to the shootout which left the suspect dead. the injured sergeant is expected to make a full recovery, thank god. now president biden and his staff are reportedly all in on a 2024 presidential run, and he could make the announcement if as soon as next month. an ally of the president telling

"the hill," i think it's all about timing at this point. it seems like he's all in. it's not really if he runs anymore. only six prime ministers in u.s. history -- presidents in u.s. history chose not to run for election. most recently, lyndon b. johnson in 1968. of course, the new york post responding geezer caesar and saying, please, joe, no. those are your headlines. pete: yeah. remains to be seen whether he'll have challengers, but he'll rye and get out many front of it. -- try and get out in front of it. he's going to the border today. emily: you pay his salary, will, he should sit down with him. [laughter] pete: all right. still ahead, china reportedly suspending social media accounts of critics of the country's covid policies. e necessary canter freedom, patriot award recipient, has made it his mission to speak out against the ccp's human rights

pete: the world health organization calling out communist china for its lack of transparency in reporting covid

data. surprising they're create sizing them since they're basically in their pocket. as it ends its zero covid policy opens its boards, and now china is reportedly suspending social media accounts of more than 1,000 critics. 'em our next guest is a vocal critic of the human rights abuses, former nba player enes kanter freedom, good morning to you, it's great to see you again. >> thank you for having me. i appreciate that. emily: of course. so give us your thoughts on the latest travesty, frankly, by the ccp of censorship. >> you know, state media in china played down the severity of the surge of covid-19 infections while its scientists briefed the world health organization and also the world health organization has accused china of underrepresenting the severity of its covid is outbreak and criticized its narrow definition of signatures of covid death.

and actually have the numbers, but the way the social media platform said it had addressed, i believe, 12,854 violations, and they put permanent bans on 1,120 accounts and those are experts, scholars and medical workers. and that actually shows pure dick today -- dictatorship and censorship. pete: twitter did much same in our own country at the behest of our government, they just didn't do it openly, and you didn't know who was being blocked or turned down. i was surprised -- i know there's social media in china, i know it's very controlled. has there been any if real access to information other than state media if you're going too -- trying to figure out what the truth is on covid? >> no, definitely not. these kind of dictatorships pretty much control everything, pretty much controls the media,

the news, newspaper, social media. so the people can't really get fresh air, they don't really know what's going on. so also if you are someone who's on way slow and criticized what's going on, they will put a ban on you immediately. i mean, look at these numbers, you know? so they, i mean, that is one of the biggest censorship. but i believe whatever you see these protesters in china, you know, white page protesters, they're saying enough is enough. we want our freedom because pretty much china is jails or put these innocent people in, you know, i guess, these camps, and they're saying enough is enough. we want our freedom. emily: that's right. as of 2017 in the ccp, you must if -- whether you are a business or a personal citizen -- share data with the government from social media. so, essentially, there is absolutely zero chasm between

the government and any social media use. it is all state tv, it is all state social media. but, enes, you are giving hope to future generations with a video and a message. raise generations that can't be purchased. tell us more ant that -- about that. >> oh, my god, that is totally the best -- [inaudible] i've ever heard. if you want to have a better and brighter future, we have to build a message to inspire our young generation, because with our kids is our future. so, you know, we have to teach them there are bigger things than money or business like morals, values and principles, you know? not even a year ago whenever i, you know, had a conversation with some of my colleagues in nba, they pretty much sold their soul for nba contract, shoe deals, jersey sales, and they were silent on some of the violations happening around the world. but whenever i go to basketball camp, my one message to these beautiful kids is, you know, it

count matter what your -- it doesn't matter what your background is, your skin color, your religion, the most important thing in life is trying to find what we have in common because we only have one world to live, so we have to make this world better together, and and that's what i explain to our kids. pete: so well said by a man whose last name is freedom. enes, thank you so much. and a recipient of the fox nation pate -- patriot award, got to meet him down there. a great american. we're honored. thank you for all you do. >> of course. pete: appreciate it. >> thank you so much. emily: thank you so much. all right. still ahead, as we learn more about the timeline of the idaho murders, police are puzzled as to why a surviving roommate took 8 hours to call 911. nancy grace has been all over this case. her thoughts next. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month.

cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.

pete: we're back with a fox

weather alert. california residents bracing for even more rain. at least three atmospheric river storms -- rick, what are these names? -- set to hit california in the coming days. in this after another bomb cyclone, otherwise known as a storm, that drenched the region last week. some areas in california expecting to get as much as 8 inches of rain throughout the week. let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. we hear about bomb cyclones but not much about dewpoint anymore. rick: just so everyone at home is aware, this is the commercial break conversation that pete's trying to bring dewpoint back. rick: we can talk about it. right now an incredible amount of moisture. we've been dealing with this for about 10 days now across much of california. this is the rainy season, and you want moisture this time of year across participants of the west, and it's been so dry for decades now, and we have ongoing

drought, so you want this moisture, but it's coming in way too fast. we're starting to see significant flood threat, very significant threat for complete mudslides and maybe hillsides completely kind of falling off and breaking out into the lower elevations, and that's going to be a real threat tomorrow and tuesday across southern california as well. we're talking about really heavy rain, very heavy know, but the -- snow, but the next storm tonight into tomorrow has a lot more moisture with it. so we're going to be seeing rainfall totals across southern california, maybe 8-10 inches in the higher elevations. by the time we're done probably 10 feet of snow which is good news ultimately, but this moisture is coming way too fast, and there's no sign of this pattern breaking at all. more on that coming up, i be emily, over to you. emily: thanks, rick. university of idaho students are returning to campus this week with a great sense of relief as the man accused of murdering

four students is brought to justice. and is as we learn more about the night of the murders, police are still puzzled by the 8-hour window it took for a surviving roommate to call 99 11 after seeing the masked suspect in the home. nancy grace has been covering this since the beginning and and joins us now. good morning to you, nancy. all right, what are your thoughts on all of this? >> well, number one, of course the returning students are relieved that brian kohberger has been captured, but they're still grieving. they're mourning not only the loss of the victims, but they'll never go back to the way they were before. before, when they felt safe and an illusion of safety. and as for the roommate, d.m. as she is called in the probable cause affidavit, you know, i think attacks on her at this juncture are highly unwarranted. we don't know what was going through her mind that night. remember, she's just a child.

she's a sophomore. she's not a senior like the others. this may be with her very first time away from home. she's about 19 years old. you know, until you to go through, you live through a violent crime, and i hope nobody listening right now ever does that, or you're a witness to the a violent crime, you block out what's happening. i know that. firsthand. you don't want to realize what's happening. you don't want to remember. i'm sure she was in sort of a state of shock. she locked her door, and according to what we've learned, coe berg 's footprints -- coe beggar -- kohberger's footprints may be outside her door. she locked herself inside and did not say a word. she's got a lifetime of regret. that's her punishment. but we will hear she will be a witness at trial. emily: and you're right, nancy, you know, this was the largest incoming freshman if class the university of idaho had ever

seen, by the way, is so to your point, there was a large amount of younger students. and, yes, you only seek to explain away to the positive. your inclination isn't all of my roommates are murdered in a horrible bloodbath right now. let me ask this question, what piece of information are you most looking forward to learning or discovering next? >> i'm anxious to get that dna match to kohberger himself. right now we've got a bio-dad match which is 99.998% likely to be the biodad can of the person that left dna at that knife sheath. i think it will be skin dna. but by now they've already served a search warrant on his person which means getting his dna, probably from a swab out of his mouth. and i want to see that stat. i really want to see that and how long he had been stalking these victims like a hunter, looking for prey.

emily: that's absolutely right. those 12 times his cell phone pinged near them in the month if leading up. i wonder just how many times before that he encountered them as well, nancy. so much more to learn, so much more to cover. we will be watching you tonight on fox news channel at 10 p.m. eastern with the idaho murders, the special that you will be hosting. we cannot wait. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you, guys. emily: all right. still ahead, hiding the truth? if el paso migrant camps are reportedly being cleaned up ahead of president biden's visit today. look at that stark contrast on your screen of el paso on wednesday and then el paso on thursday. will cain is live from there talking to residents about the reality in the border state. realtor.com (in a whisper) can we even afford this house? maybe jacob can finally get a job. the house whisperer! this house says use realtor.com to see homes in your budget. you're staying in school, jacob! realtor.com. to each their home.

♪ will: president biden will arrive here in el paso, texas, in just hours to get a firsthand look at the border crisis. but before he even lands, streets that were once filled with hundreds of sleeping illegal immigrants have been cleared up. you see it on your screen right now. and here with what their city is really dealing with is lifelong el paso resident and former congressional candidate irene car men -- i did a good job, right? >> you did excellent. will: jackson, by the way, and bill jackson. they're married.

[laughter] laugh lifelong el paso residents, both of you. bill, longtime border patrol agent. we appreciate your service. >> thank you. will: tell me, irene, what it has been like. first of all, i've talked to other residents this morning, witnessing the change. tell me about that change. >> well, what we see is, i think, what america needs to know is that we feel as american citizens living on the border, first of all, we've been neglected. now all of a sudden, all eyes are on the border. but we've been neglected for decades. but now it's like the illegals have more rights than us citizens. who is footing the bill? and america needs to understand especially here in el paso that there's no such thing as government funding. we are the funding as the local, state and national government. so when we talk about funding and sending funds here and providing for the illegals here and there, it's coming out of our pocket. so being neglected is not okay.

will: you said it feels like illegal immigrants have more rights than legal residents in el paso. how? >> well, they have everything or that they could possibly need, and they're being allowed to come in without any if real check. i mean, being married to a border patrol agent, i know there is a process, and what is that process for? if in order to identify those criminals that want to harm america. and so we don't know who is walking on our streets. it doesn't matter where you go in el paso, there's illegals walking everywhere, and there is a big difference between an immigrant, a migrant and an illegal alien, illegal immigrant. my parents are immigrants, but they are against everything that's the illegal immigration. and we see it in the grocery stores, we see it in the gas stations. it all boils down to our pocketbook, and that's what i mean. will: so, bill, you've experienced this not only as a lifelong resident, but as a border patrol agent as well. what changes have you seen through those two experiences,

professionally and personally? >> well, personally, i guy up here -- i grew up here, so i've seen changes in our city that are unprecedented. the amount of people that are homeless in our society, in el paso, has moved into more of the neighborhoods, and now these illegal aliens, which they are because migration is moving from one place to another. we know that. but when they cross a sovereign border, they are now against the immigration laws of our country, and they're illegal aliens. so they're occupying city streets. they're actually using our city services. it's not just isolated to border patrol agents, now the city, the county and the state are involved in taking care of these illegal ail years -- aliens. there is more litter and homeless that are on our street. there's tents, it's just unprecedented. professionally, i mean, it would be so easy for me to go down the street and be able to pick people up because automatically

just based upon my experience and doing my job with that there would be somebody that i would need to talk to. will: what are you saying, they're just not? meaning it'd be so easy, but the way it's being handled today you should the direction that they're efforting, that's just not happening? >> right. the administration's trying -- tie toking our hands. there's -- tying our hands. there's never been a president in united states history that has facilitated illegal activity, allowed criminals, like president biden. he lets 'em violate our laws. and in doing so, they've jeopardized the safety and security of our citizens. will: last question for you guys. as a married couple, as a couple who experience this living in this community, you've lived here your whole life, parents emigrated from -- immigrated from mexico, what's it like as a family being a border patrol family? >> well, you do, when he would leave to work, it was something that in the back of your mind

you'd know that something could happen. and there were certain times that things did happen. he had injuries at work. and everything had to stop. now, you see, because he was also a chaplain. he got to deal with the tragedies of what happened to to border patrol families, and we all became a part of that. so we just want to make sure that america understands that people like beto o'rourke are not what represents el paso. we're hard working, america-loving citizens, and i just want to make sure that america understands that. will: bill? >> she is the true soldier in all of this, my family. and as that is every family of every border patrol agent that's working in this environment now and previously. we always go out doing our job with honor, dignity and respect not only for the lives of the people we come in contact with, but doing the enforcement duties that protect the american people. and we never if waver in our

responsibility to do that. this is just another thing to be able to add to the stress that border patrol families are experiencing. and we can't leave it at work. it comes home with us. and, unfortunately, our wives and our children are paying for that. will: well, on that note, we appreciate both of you -- >> thank you so much. will: -- for what you've done and also sharing with us morning on "fox & friends". >> thank you. thank you. pete: coming up -- will: house majority leader steve scalise will join us as are republicans get to work in congress. and a year on planet earth. the new fox nation special on how experts are protecting animals across the globe. ♪
