quote
7:00 pm
joining us. you can catch me on fox and friends this weekend, every saturday and sunday from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. eastern time. let not your heart be troubled because sean hannity will be back tomorrow. in the meantime rest in peace. the minnesota vikings and the "the ingraham angle" is up next, everybody, have a good night. >> i'm sean in for laura ingraham and this is a special edition of "the ingraham angle" from new york city tonight. so how do you spend your long weekend? because president biden spent his back at the scene of the crime or, at least one of them, and that crime scene became even more contaminated. so while you're probably relaxing and gearing up for playoff football house counsel richard -- disclosed that five additional pages of documents
7:01 pm
with classified markings were found at biden's home thursday evening. surely this news was damming to those democrats who have spent the past seven years squawking about the rule of law and norms, right? wrong. what is the proper thing for a former president to do if he finds that there are government documents or classified documents that are in his possession? my understanding is they did the right thing. maybe there is a different procedure for dealing with them that we're unaware of. that's a meaningful thing that we could look at. but obviously, we don't want to turn this into just a political football. >> i know exactly what president biden said when he was informed that these documents were found in his office, in his office in washington. that was a, oh, followed by a four-letter expletive. it's an embarrassment no doubt. is there more to it? i doubt it. >> the congressman is right.
7:02 pm
it was such an embarrassment to bide than he rushed to defend himself earlier today upon returning back to the white house. >> mr. president, are you sure there are no more classified documents? >> yes, he couldn't run away fast enough. one of the biggest outstanding questions as it relates to these classified documents is, who had access to the locations where they were stored? we now know that at least in one location, it's going to be tougher to figure out. in addition to admitting there were more classified documents in wilmington, the white house counsel has also claimed that no visitor logs exist for biden's wilmington, delaware home. of course they don't. but at first glance, this might seem almost too convenient, but this might, in fact, make it worse for biden. according to jonathan turley, if congress has a right to the information which it most certainly does, it can now seek alternative sources for the information including interviewing staff and family,
7:03 pm
and even past visitors. those interviews are subject to criminal penalties for false statements. so this gets real serious real fast. joining me now is the man himself, jonathan turley, george washington, constitutional law professor and fox news contributor. jonathan, gets to see you. so professor. >> thanks. >> expound upon that point. why might this get worse for joe biden in the end? >> well, there was a curious statement out of the white house that this information is personal because this is the personal residence of the president. that dog won't hunt. you really don't have an argument that this is now a purely personal residence when you've stored highly classified documents there. so this is at best an investigator scene. but you can't say just because it's a private residence that
7:04 pm
congress has no right to find out who had access to an area that may have compromised national security. so once that wire was tripped, by finding those documents in the garage, congress clearly has an oversight interest in knowing who was in that house and whether there might have been a compromising of national security information. now, if they don't have a log, then congress is allowed to pursue other means to get that information. they can seek to interview family and staff. those interviews will occur under the penalty of perjury or making false statements to congress. this doesn't change to the ability of congress to pursue this information. >> can you talk about the defenses thrown out. joe biden said, i take classified documents seriously, others have said it was a mistake that joe biden had the documents at his residence or biden is cooperating with the
7:05 pm
doj. do any of those defenses actually work in this potential crime? >> well, the inadvertent defense crumbles fairly quickly after it was first raised. it's hard to make an inadvertent defense when you have documents that presumably were taken around 2017 when he left office as vice president. and then appeared to be divided and distributed at different spots. the question is, why would you have that division unless these documents were being used for some purpose? the purpose could be one of a number of things but the most obvious would be the use -- to be used on the book, that the then vice president was working on, which included subjects like ukraine. but, you know, we don't know that. but there are other questions raised by the most recent disclosures. you know, the last statement was
7:06 pm
that various documents were missed in the search of the residence. i thought that was really perplexing because i've worked with classified material for over three decades. they are usually held in a folder that has a very pronounced border. usually red or yellow or striped, and then across the front is, in bold letters, a classification. it's really hard to miss. if you're looking through a pile. so the question is whether some of these documents were not in their folders. if that's the case, it gets even more serious because it would mean that someone had to remove a document from a folder. that person clearly then knew that there were classified documents there, and that they were interacting with the classified document. all of those questions have got to be answered. >> we don't know who had access to the documents and whether they had clearance or not. let me get to this, some in washington think this investigation is a completely
7:07 pm
open and ended shut case. watch this. >> this isn't a particularly complex investigation. what it looks like now, an offers space, two residences to go out there, figure out if all the classified information has been recovered, who the people were who had access to it, all the circumstances by which it came to be placed there, shouldn't take a lot of time. >> jonathan peter is back and he doesn't think it's that complex of an investigation but probably not for the reasons he thinks. what's your take? >> i find it quite remarkable that everyone came out and said, look there is no evidence of anything other than inadvertence here. there is no evidence at all. the white house has refused to answer any questions. the evidence we have seems to go against inadvertent, when you really don't know, but what's really astonishing is how all of these people are coming forth saying, look, the record as it stands shows inadvertence. what record? you have at most, you have a
7:08 pm
group of documents that were divided for some reason, and sent to different locations. if the president interacted with those documents, then he shatters his defense. more importantly, it makes these recent statements look like an effort to deceive the public and the f.b.i. now, do we know any of that? no, but the pronouncement that there is nothing to see here is odd because we haven't seen virtually anything at all. >> based on nothing. professor turley, thanks for joining me. appreciate it. whatever the claim from the white house counsel, it will not put on house republican efforts to get to the truth. house oversight committee chairman james -- is trowing that he'll continue to press the biden administration for answers about who had accessed to classified documents and why they were permitted to rummage through the residence after the appointment of a special counsel.
7:09 pm
so in response, they actually got mad at house republicans for launching "hypocritical investigations into president biden's improper retention of classified records," and accused the g.o.p. of politicizing the matter while defending biden's cooperation with the special counsel pro. >> house republicans are blaming politics in an attempt to attack president biden. shameful. joining me now is house oversight committee james comber. what's your response to the house statement that came out today? >> ian sams has no shame. give me break. this administration was quick to criticize president trump for having classified documents which he would argue weren't classified, but that's another case that will be determined on down the road. joe biden was quick to call trump irresponsible. joe biden claimed he would be the most transparent president in the history of america.
7:10 pm
once again, this is another example of how i can make a strong case that joe biden is at least the most intransparent president in america. the reason we know about these documents is because cbs had an investigative report their broke the story. the white house was never going to tell us. this was going to be another one of many cover-ups with joe biden, and we want simple questions to simple answers and this administration fights us every step of the way. >> a hundred percent they do. by the way, they have been gearing up these investigations since i think last may. they aren't going to cooperate with y'all but i always want, when i want pearls of wisdom, i want to go to adam schiff so let's take a listen. >> congress will try to handle both situations in the same way. we ought to get a briefing from the intelligence community about any potential risk to national security of where those documents were and what they contained but congress shouldn't try to interfere with the investigations. i think sadly that's what mr.
7:11 pm
comber's object is. >> congressman, adam schiff thinks you're interfering with these investigations. how do you respond toe him? >> adam schiff is the reason that congressional oversight has a bad name. no one interfered with the investigations more than adam schiff. adam schiff always overpromised and underdelivered. every day i have to battle the lack of credibility from congressional oversight because of adam schiff. so if i were adam schiff i would probably talk about something else. but at the end of the day, all we're asking for is equal treatment here. why was mar largo rated, why did they go through every room including melania's closet. why did the f.b.i. take surveillance cameras, but yet they haven't set foot on the biden residence. in fact, after the special counsel was announced we find out that joe biden's personal
7:12 pm
attorneys who don't even have security clearance, are still rummaging through looking for documents. this is so wrong, this is another example of a two tier system of justice in america, and this is one reason why republicans are so outraged over this whole process, and the hypocrisy of the biden administration. >> adam schiff was saying, we've got a briefing on the documents that donald trump had. we should also get a briefing on the documents that joe biden had. last time i checked i don't think adam schiff sits on the committee any longer and i don't think he's probably entitled to any classified documents of any nature because he was kicked off the intelligence committee. >> yes. no, adam schiff's days with the intelligence committee are over. we need to thank kevin mccarthy for that but with respect to getting a briefing, the oversight committee has jurisdiction over the national archives. they have never given us a briefing over what went on at mar largo much less what went on with the biden classified documents. so this is one of the problems that i have and jamie ras kins
7:13 pm
and i were both on cnn sunday, and i think we would agree that both, in a bipartisan way that national archives needs to come at the very least, brief t andr of the house oversight committee as to what type of documents were found at both mar largo and at both places with respect to the bidens, and what national archives knew about it, and what's going to go moving forward. i mean, are there more documents? is there an inventory of what the bidens have that are still missing? we have no answers to many questions. >> they seem to refuse that the f.b.i. raided it. i'll get your take on this. john ratcliffe weighed in on this issue. take a listen and i want you to respond. >> i don't even know all the places the documents went. we know that they were not kept in secure locations or that they were guarded during a six-year
7:14 pm
period of time. and we also know that one of the places they went was either owned or represented by a drug addict by the name of hunter biden, whose associates during part of this period of time included prostitutes, ukrainian oligarchs and business associates from communist china. >> congressman, are you too worried that hunter biden and maybe some of his associates would have had access to some of these classified documents? >> we know hunter biden lived there at least two years. we know he paid for a lot of living expenses at joe biden's house which that in itself is a problem joe bide listen have to answer to in the future. we know hunter had business associates that worked for the ccp. we know he had a business associate that was considered the head spy master for the the ccp. we know that, as ratcliffe said, he was involved with some less than stellar people from ukraine, from russia, and, you know, we believe that hunter
7:15 pm
biden is a national security risk, so to know that they were just, you know, these documents were laying around the house, in the garage, in the living room, i don't know if they checked the glove compartment or not in that corvette but i hope they do. this is very concerning, and this is another reason why the republican leadership should have already been briefed on the severity of what those documents were that were in possession at the biden house. >> congressman, we only have 20 seconds left but if we don't use the power of the purse to get the white house to comply with the demands of the congress, i don't think they are going to comply. will y'all use the power of the purse slashing budgets? >> absolutely. the house republicans are united, in trying to hold this government accountable. >> that's the only way they are going to respond. congressman comer, thank you for joining us, appreciate it. >> joe biden is already in a
7:16 pm
weak position with the 2024 elections looming but the classified document issue already has some documents concerned about his prospects in 2024. steven miller and chris bedford have reaction to that, plus the media's attempt to play defense for biden. so stay right there.
7:17 pm
7:18 pm
7:19 pm
7:20 pm
7:21 pm
>> soon after the midterms a recently emboldened joe biden looked to be a lock for 2024. even jill biden who makes most of the decisions for joe, had told confidants, she's all in but this fast moving investigation into several batches of classified documents has democrats skittish. some political insiders are speaking out to fox news digital. it's never good when there is a special prosecutor appointed president it's definitely not a place i would want to be as we try to put the pieces together of a re-election campaign said a veteran of presidential campaigns. he has to be anonymous to speak more freely but some democrats, influential ones, even, are willing to go on the record. >> are you worried that this undercuts president biden, at a critical moment when he's deciding to run for re-election. there is no question that the reporting of all of this
7:22 pm
undercuts all of our credibility, for democrats when it comes to this kind of issue, yes. >> joining us, a former senior visor to president trump. molly hemingway, editor and chief of the federalist, and vancouver editor of the upcoming common sense magazine. all, thanks for joining me. appreciate it. molly, to you first, do you buy the idea that democrats might be willing to throw old joe biden under the bus here? >> i think it really does depend at this point. we don't know what we don't know about what documents are there. we don't know how bad the situation is, and the department of justice seems to be being pretty gentle with him right now. they have put on a special counsel but it has a very limited scope. they have been very friendly with him about unveiling this document dispute, and so if the democrats decide that it's time for joe biden to go i have no doubt that the department of justice will make life very
7:23 pm
difficult for him. but i don't know if we have that information yet. >> so chris, i look at what hillary clinton did, right? she used bleach -- she got rid of her emails, it kind over worked for her so if you have classified documents, f.b.i. allegedly isn't looking for them and national archives don't even know they are missing. why didn't they burn them? why didn't they shred the documents but instead they go, we have documents and we'll turn them over to the depth of justice and national archives. it seems like somebody knew those documents were there? >> everybody was expecting the republicans to make serious gains and joe biden would look very weak. everyone knows joe biden was a compromised candidate, someone chosen because he was less wacky than his competitors but wasn't the first choice of democratic voters and these documents were
7:24 pm
turned over to the department of justice after years and years of sitting there just days before the election. the election didn't go the way some democrats, actually most people, expected it to go and at the end that ball had already started rolling. things started to move. an investigation was started and now it's out of hand. i'm wondering if this was internally hit against joe biden because, when you talk about hypocrisy and double standards those are words that powerless people use to criticize those who are actually in power. democrats are completely in power. they have decided who gets prosecuted, who goes to prison and who doesn't. so when biden gets in trouble with this before the midterm i start to wonder who is benefiting. >> steven, i saved a very special moment from jen psaki just for you. watch this. >> so this argument that this very different case of biden's classified documents is going to be a political problem for him hasn't even played out on the other side and i think that's
7:25 pm
important to note because the difference, as you said, is who is defending democracy, and the answer so that is pretty clear. >> so is steven, they are trodding out defending democracy defense again. is that going to work, steven? >> no. it's not going to work. trying to spin joe biden's theft of classified documents and his family's illicit connections like china, as a defense of democracy is an insult to the intelligence of every american voter and if that's their best argument you're in serious trouble. you had james comer on a few minutes ago. he'll drill down and get to the very rock bottom of it. because there are key questions that have to be asked. for example, why did the biden center, at the university of pennsylvania, where there was a stash of classified documents, receive indirectly all of these funds from china?
7:26 pm
china gave money to the university of pennsylvania. and then money from the university of pennsylvania starts flowing into the pockets of joe biden and the biden center. what was going on there? whatever it was, it is shady as all get out. and i'm convinced that once enough subpoenas are issued, once enough investigations are launched, what we're going to find is going to shock people. >> no doubt about that. >> molly, activist chuck todd put on his i'm a journalist hat for a while. watch this. >> senator, do you have a crime that you think hunter biden committed because i've yet to see anybody explain, it's not a crime to make money off of your last name. >> so, chuck, you ought to read the marco polo report, where they detail all kinds of potential crimes. >> senator -- >> let me stop you this. potential -- >> about -- >> i'll take it at your word that you're ethically bothered
7:27 pm
by hunter biden. i'm curious, though, you seem to have a pattern -- >> are you not? >> i'm a journalist, i have to deal in facts. >> molly, he's unhinged. what do you think? >> chuck todd is not a journalist first of all. he spent years pushing the russian derangement hoax, that donald dump had won the election by colluding with russia to steal the election and he would come on day after day, week after week, and berate anybody who didn't share his conspiracy thinking, and now, when we're actually dealing with hunter biden who is under real investigation, who, we already know he had problems paying taxes. again, department of justice was very friendly about letting him repay some of the taxes that he had failed to pay. he's got gun issues that he's dealt with. drug issues, prostitution issues. he's been working with foreign oligarchs and regimes across the
7:28 pm
world and then chuck todd says i don't think we should rush to judgment. he's done nothing but rush to judgment for years. it's one of these things, i think republicans need to think about whether they should even, you know, be on a show where you have some sort of deranged conspiracy theorist like that. he has shown himself to be operating in such bad faith for so long, there is really no need to treat him like a legitimate person. >> i agree with that. stop going on these left wing programs because they are not media personalities. they are activists for the democratic party. but to that point, it seems like these media outlets and their personalities are more defensive of joe biden than even democrats are of joe biden. >> remember, media ran president biden's campaign for him. he didn't even go out there. they had weird scenes where he would sit inside his basement and have cars turning their headlights on and off because they were too afraid. they ran that for him. they ran cover the whole time. they turned on the new york pope. they were in favor of
7:29 pm
censorship. they government worked with social media companies like twitter to suppress that story. here you have todd saying why investigate it, there is no crime. there is a good piece at the federalist, you investigate to find out what's going on. we know there is corruption, we know he was dealing with foreign powers. we know he was on drugs. we know he was paying $50,000 in rent to his dad while living there, with all these classified documents in the garage. maybe it's poking around on that. >> it's worth poking around a little bit. speaking of hacks, here's joe scarborough. >> transparency, i think, works best for the biden administration. it works best for biden himself, because they find the documents, they reported them immediately. a different situation than donald trump's. anybody who says it's not is a political hack. >> so steven, we heard from professor turley in our first block that this explanation, i doesn't work. it doesn't wash. >> well, it doesn't work on 45 different levels. not the least of which is that
7:30 pm
joe biden entered the white house 14 years ago. 14 years ago. he left the white house in 2017. newly released documents were just suddenly discovered. something, somebody, some entity, someone with an interest, decided to get these documents out into the public like now. we'll have to figure out through the house oversight committee and others who that person was and why it happened but now you have biden's lawyers working in secret to present documents in this highly choreographed fashion. there is clearly, clearly a cover-up involved here preventing us from seeing why these documents were stolen, who had access to them. who benefitted from these documents, how does this involve the pay for play scheme the biden family was involved in. these are serious crimes that threaten national security. >> i think it's always important to remember that when these two cases are compared, biden and trump, donald trump had the
7:31 pm
ability to declassify his documents. joe biden had no ability to declassify his documents. >> absolutely. >> panel, thanks for the insight. i appreciate it. good discussion. biden tells lies at an mlk events and wait until you see the new mlk sculpture unveiled in boston. is it a salute or an insult? raymond arroyo reveals it all in "seen and unseen" and that's coming up next.
7:32 pm
so, you're 45. that's the perfect age to see some old friends, explore new worlds, and to start screening for colon cancer. yep. with colon cancer rising in adults under 50, the american cancer society recommends starting to screen earlier, at age 45. i'm cologuard, a noninvasive way to screen at home, on your schedule. and i find 92% of colon cancers. i'm for people 45+ at average risk for colon cancer,
7:33 pm
not high risk. false positive and negative results may occur. ask your provider if cologuard is right for you.
7:34 pm
7:35 pm
7:36 pm
>> time for our "seen and unseen" segment where we look at the cultural stories of the day. tonight it's all about missing the mark, raymond. >> it is. starting with joe biden, sean, he appeared at a martin luther king -- martin luther king jr.'s church the other day. he couldn't recall the name of the african-american supreme court justice that he nominated. listen. >> those are the words of
7:37 pm
jackson, our supreme court justice. >> okay, got it. nailed it. then today, sean, biden went to sing happy birthday to mlk's daughter-in-law, andrea king. i think it always helps if you're going to sing happy birthday into a mic to actually know the name of the person you are singing to. are you ready. ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ happy birthday dear -- ♪ ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ >> that's not her name. it's andrea, but we'll leave that aside. look, at least he didn't wish everybody a happy larry king day. that's a plus. >> i thought he was saying valerie, happy birthday p birthday valerie, and until you said it it's actually andrea. >> it sounds similar. sean, the problem with biden in these sayings is he starts to
7:38 pm
pander to the crowd before him and the facts start to slide out from underneath. for instance, did you know joe biden attends a black church. >> i may be a practicing catholic, i used to go to 7:30 mass every morning in high school and then in college, before i went to the black church. not a joke. >> but it is actually a joke. it's another fabrication. biden's attendance at the black church in delaware that he claimed to attend has been disputed even by the former naacp leader, and this is hardly the first time he's simply made things up, as you know, sean, for instance. >> nelson mandela walked out of prison. i had the great honor of meeting with our u.n. ambassador, trying to get to see him on robin's island. >> i was sort of raised in the puerto rican community at home
7:39 pm
politically. >> when i marched in the civil rights movement, i did not march with a 12-point program. i marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes. >> none of that is true. he never marched at all for civil rights. he was not raised in the puerto rican community and he was never arrested for trying to see mandela, which raises the question, sean, about the other things he says publicly. i mean, media has obsessed about this george santos and his lies. here's the president of the united states, who is now talking about classified documents, stashed in the garage. we don't know what to believe here. >> raymond, we're the laughing stock of the global community. you have a guy who can't remember people's names. and then he tells tall tales and lies. our media doesn't call him out. they defend him. they sit back and laugh at us. it's a complete joke. frankly, i love my country. i want my president to do well or at least better than this. give us a little honesty and integrity when you speak about who you are and where you came
7:40 pm
from. >> right. no, you can't make it up as you go along and clearly that's what's happening here and it's a bad look. >> it's a horrible look. if there are some news reports calling him out for it maybe he'll tell the truth but it is what it is. did you see this new bronze sculpture unveiled on the boston common the other day? it commemorates martin luther king and coretta scott king embracing. sean, when i saw this thing, it took my breath away. now, unbelievably, it was approved by mlk iii but i don't know why. from above, it literally looks like an alien being birthed, and then from the other side, i agree with seneca scott, mrs. king's cousin who said, well, he told compact magazine the culture is "mass -- now bonitos has a big bronze penis statue that's supposed to represent black love. it's an especially egregious example of the woke machine's
7:41 pm
callusness and vanity. as you know, art matters to me. it matters to all of us, and when you canonize and capture images of what are supposed to be individuals, this is so dehumanizing, i mean, first of all, it's headless. mlk and coretta scott king, their heads are gone. it's truly dehumanizing and very perverse. the king family should be up and arms over this and i'm glad some members are. >> at first i didn't know what it was. what is this statue of? by the way, martin luther king had a big heart and a very large brain that he used really well. maybe we could accentuate that in a statue as opposed to the arms. doesn't make much sense. >> this is profane. that particular angle, i mean, as the cousin said, it looks like the body part. the challenge here, also, as seneca scott said, this should be a day of service. let's do that instead of these
7:42 pm
kind of commemorations that i think distract us from the reality of what king stood for, the dignity he stood for, and the fight he brought to the country to restore the rights to his people. and the honor of all people. >> you know, raymond, there is a third topic i wanted to get to. i wanted to talk to you about miss universe. we didn't get clearance for the pictures so we couldn't show the mr. and miss universe that won this year, so sadly we can't chat about that. >> you know, sean, it was in new orleans this weekend and thank goodness all the contestants survived. i guess they were wearing those kevlar gowns so it worked out. >> i was going to say, i looked at it, she's kind of cute, but she's kind of strong. what's going on here? that's too much information. >> restoring feminism. one activist at a time. >> raymond arroyo, thank you, always fun. a border hawk.
7:43 pm
monica crowley and charlie kirk will reveal it coming up next.

>> republican governors like greg abbott of texas and ron desantis of florida shift migrants to other areas across
7:48 pm
the country they were blamed for exacerbating the problem. while there is some political motivations behind the moves, and there were, there were practical ones as well. when all is said and done it might prove to be the most successful combating willful action from the biden white house yet. case in point, new york city mayor eric adams went to the border and did something biden wouldn't. he witnessed the horrors in el paso face-to-face, and afterwards, he didn't shy away from the cold hard reality. >> we're not pointing the finger at el paso. we're not pointing the finger at houston. we're pointing the finger where we should point it and that's our national government. this is a national problem. we must have real immigration reform, and we must immediately have a short term fix of making sure that the course of this does not fall on our local cities. >> joining us is charlie kirk president of turning point usa, and monica crawlie, former trump assistant secretary of the
7:49 pm
treasury. and host of the great podcast. by the way, it's good to see you both. it's remarkable by just pointing out the obvious, adams is now being loitered at some border hawk. i think it speaks to how out of control this border is. >> yes, it's great to be with you, sean and charlie. it's great to see both of you. look, none of these dominant democrats had a word to say about biden's open border policy as long as it was only directly impacting border towns most of which are hard working blue collar towns, and border states. most of which vote red. are republican. as long as the impact was only there, to the most extent, then these democrats had nothing to say. but the moment that illegal immigrants in massive numbers began to descend on cities like new york as a direct result of bide president's open border policy that's when they began to speak out. now, look, mayor adams campaigned other longstanding
7:50 pm
new york city policy of being a sanctuary city, and he said we're wide open for business for any illegal immigrant who wants to seek sanctuary in new york city. now the chickens have come home to roost and the massive numbers of illegals in new york city, upwards of over 40,000 so far and growing, are putting a tremendous strain on new york city's resources, and it's affecting mayor adam's abilities to do his job and to carry out his duty for the people of new york. so isn't it amazing that these democrats, once it directly affects them, and their resources and ability to carry out their job, all of a sudden now they have something to say about it. but their ire should not be directed anywhere except the white house. joe biden and his administration, because you know, sean and charlie, we know what works. just a few short years ago don't trump put into place a series of policies that enforced the

border and solved the illegal immigration problem so for all the democrats' talk about, we need comprehensive immigration reform, et cetera, et cetera, no, we know what works. all you have to do is go back to the trump policies. >> we saw it work. absolutely. charlie, mayor adams also said this in el paso. >> there are websites that are advertising that new york city basically the streets are paved with gold. that there is automatic employment. that you're automatically going to be living in a motel. giving the false impression if you come to new york city everything is fine. >> but this contradicts reporting by "the new york post" about the deal adams just struck. so the emergency agreement between the city department of homeland services and the hotel association puts the city on the look for as much as $55,000 per migrant that lands in town. so charlie, how is that insane, at this presser right after the city inked this deal to provide more housing for migrants to the tune of $55,000 per migrant.

>> yes, could we also just appreciate how bizarre it is to see the mayor of new york city visiting the southern border and the town associated there. this just goes to show when you have failed despot activism which is what this administration is, they have made an attempt to be despotic, and they aren't even good at it you get fractionallism. you get other voices that start to fill that void. yes, it's the government's false but it's also pandering every progressive policy. is this some sort of 2024 preview of infighting? i don't know but i'm sure the masters of the democratic party will sort it out when election time comes but i want to reinforce this point how bizarre and strange it is to have the mayor of new york city visit el paso as if he's the head of department of homeland security. this is an extraordinary crisis and every single state that's a board state, and now new york city is feeling the pressure of the southern invasion, so joe biden what is his response?
7:53 pm
his response is everything is perfectly under control, as i have said before it's not happening and it's good that it is. joe biden's entire perspective here is failure, repeated time and time again. it's a strange moment. it's confusing, disorder will be met with fractionallism and that's exactly what we're living through. >> that's intentional failure. they have intentionally opened this border up and allowed millions of people to come into our country. i'm surprised they have done it. but, monica, do you think if more democrats like mayor adams, and others stand up and go, this policy is insane. we have to change the way we're doing business. do you think the white house will change course and maybe take, as you mentioned earlier, take some of those trump policies and reimplement them to stop the flow of people coming through our southern border. is that possible? >> well, when mayor adams makes this kind of trip and these kinds of statements it is useful. it's helpful to have that kind of internal political pressure coming from a fellow democrat. but my sense is that this white
7:54 pm
house and administration is not going to change the policy because his policy is intentional. when people ask, what's plan from the biden administration? what's the plan on the border? this is the plan, okay? this is the plan. because otherwise, they would have changed course over the last two years and they choose not to do so, right? so, look, other democrats can try to build political pressure from the inside. but my sense is, unless and until they have direct political pressure for 2024, and that election cycle, they aren't going to change. >> i do have to run. i have a hard break. thanks for joining me. we'll be back in a moment.
