she can gaslight the american public and that press corps at this point and get away with it. because there is only a peter doocy calling her out on this stuff while everybody else it's silence and lambs, ashley. >> ashley: they really need to start speaking up. when she said that my jaw hit the floor as did peter doocy. thank you so much. with that "fox & friends" begins right now. >> ainsley: straight to a fox news alert. the illegal immigrant that was accuse of shooting and killing five of his neighbors is hauled off in handcuffs after four day manhunt. >> steve: they found francisco oropesa hiding in a closet under some laundry thanks to a tip at 5:15 yesterday afternoon. >> lucas tomlinson broke this story. hey, lucas. >> good morning, steve, ainsley and brian. the suspect had been deported four times dating back to 2009.

provided the following after the arrest. >> everybody played a very very integral part in the arrest and capture of this coward, bottom line is, we now have this than custody. he was caught hiding in a closet underneath some laundry. they effectively made the arrest. he is uninjured. >> and he is currently being taken to my facility in cold springs. >> in addition to being in the country illegally, authorities say he was convicted of a dui in january of 2012 which prompted his third deportation from the united states. he was also charged last years in unrelated crimes but unable to be find. turning to the end of title 42 next week the biden administration deploying 1500 active duty soldiers to the southern border with mexico. texas governor greg abbott blasting the order in a tweet, quote. biden says he will deploy 1500

troops to the border primarily to do paperwork and only for 90 days. this does nothing to stop illegal immigration. i deployed up to 10,000 national guard at the border to fill the gaps created by biden's reckless open border policies. now the arrest brings an end to that intensive manhunt and involves hundreds of law enforcement officers going door to door looking for the suspect. $80$80,000 reward. five counts of murder with a $5 million bond, guys. >> steve: he was found in that closet under laundry in a town called cut and shoot, texas. lucas, thank you very much. let's wring in ron vitiello, retired border chief and ice director. >> good to be on. >> steve: cancellation to the family five people are dead. >> i agree with you. our heart goes out to that family and their relatives. i am proud of vortex

participation in bringing this criminal to justice and all the first responders who spent the last five days probably not getting a lot of sleep or having all the meals but were able to find this individual and bring him in. >> ainsley: ron, it looks like two of the women died shielding at least two children with their bodies. those children survive but were covered in the women's blood. the victims three women, two men and one 3rd grade little boy. what happens to those victims? i read they are being repatriated to honduras. one of them buried in the u.s. who had recently gotten residency. what happens to the family members? are they all transported back to honduras? what happens in this situation? >> it could be a combination of things. there are visas specially set aside for victims of crimes like this. we will work -- the government officials in the u.s. will work with honduran consulate officials to make sure that everybody is cared for and transported and brought to the right place, including the

deceased. >> brian: all right. so thive been deported. they were looking for him as early as 2016. couldn't find him. looks like ice without the support kind of gave up. let's talk about what is happening. this administration, i guess, is admitting the border is busted. it is open. it is not secure. yesterday came across, i guess about 10:00 a.m. that the president was going to be activating 1500 troops and sending him to the border. not going to do much. going to be support. it also says they have a 5-point agreement the white house plan with mexico. they are going to commit do enhance efforts in central america to address the root causes. the u.s. tends to welcome as many as 100,000 individuals honduras, guatemala, el salvador and continue to welcome from cuba, haiti and venezuela isn't that great across the 2,000-mile border. they have enhanced partnership with mexico. nothing about enhancing mexico's southern border. under the trump administration we got them to put 20,000 of

mexican marines there. are you happy with this collaboration and these decisions? >> no. it's frustrating. as you pointed out, brian. we had an agreement with mexico for the migrant protection protocols in which they would take back everyone who claimed asylum, who wanted an immigration hearing in the united states. all they had to do was wait in mexico. that led to 45 year low in illegal immigration across the entire southwest border. mexico under strong leadership out of the white house, deployed 25,000 national guard members. >> brian: it was a fear of tariffs. >> absolutely. closing the border. tariffs 5%, 25%. leadership in the white house that said this is a problem. we know it's a problem because lori lightfoot talked about it being a problem this week. mayor adams talked about it being a problem this he can would. it's a problem across the united states. and this white house refuses to do anything that makes it look

like they are trying. 5 point agreement with mexico that says they will take back 30,000 people a week? >> brian: that's a joke. >> couple days worth of activity on the southern border. that will be nothing. the 1500 guard troops is a drop in the bucket for what's needed down there. i know my former colleagues are preparing for may 11th. the surge is already here. they're already overwhelmed. i'm not hopeful what it will look like may 12th. >> steve: ron, the administration is in a pickle because everybody is covering of the end of title 42. so they have got to look like they are doing something. so they, you know, big announcement hey, we got a new five point plan. that's not going to change anything. here's the thing. if the administration is sending 1500 active duty troops to the border, i thought they said the border was secure. why do they need those guys? >> you are exactly right. you know, our hearts go out of to the men and women on the frontline at dmpleght hs. because they have been dealing with this problem for over two years now.

again, they ripped down policies that were working and have yet to do anything that mitigates this problem and shows a level of control at the southwest border. they had tools in place when they took over. they just took them all away. >> steve: man o man. ron, thank you for joining us live. >> thank you. >> ainsley: karine jean-pierre the white house spokesperson said that i will legal immigration is down 90%. >> steve: said that on monday. >> ainsley: peter doocy asked her about it yesterday, listen. >> you said yesterday that when it comes to illegal migration, you've seen it come down by than 90%. where did that number come from -- >> -- i was speaking. >> you keep telling us the number was 136,000 people more. >> i'm about to answer you it. >> so far. >> if the dramatics could come down a little bit. if the dramatics could come down a little bit. >> what's dramatic about asking a question about -- >> -- okay. i'm going to answer. i was speaking to the parolee

program as you know the president put in a parolee program to deal with certain countries on ways that we can limit illegal migration. and we have seen the data has shown us that it has gone down by more than 90%. that's what i was speaking to. >> just to follow up. >> no we're going to move. go ahead. go ahead. >> steve: yeah. she was done with him. ain't ain't dramatic about a question. he is just asking her about a statement she said the day before. >> steve: he wasn't even dramatic. if he had said now on monday you said. he is very always respective and even tempered and even keeled, i think she was a little dramatic because she got caught telling a lie. >> ainsley: that's right she was talking about the parole program which involved extend ago program usinged for venezuela bees, haitians letting up to 30,000 months per month be vetted and come to the country with two year period with work authorizations. >> steve: she didn't say that. >> it dropped 84% not 91%. the next month it was up.

>> and now we didn't get the april numbers yet. that mini program that allowed people to apply in their country and if they passed we would comply them in rather than have them walk in and give all the human traffickers all that money. the program was not even a temporary fix. addressing nations dominated by communist horrible governments that for some reason we are giving preferential treatment to. it's not our fault your government sucks. we can't take in everybody's people. even though you have the biggest heart in the world. we won't have a country to support. these numbers are stunning. 75,000 people have come in the last 10 days and title 42 is still there then i'm finding out that we thought title 42 bass giving border patrol the ability and immigration the power to turn people around when they got to the power. do you know they have that power but only 30% are being turned around? we are still letting in 70%. and does anyone care about the 84,000 unaccompanied minors that we have lost in our country? nobody ever brings that up.

>> steve: that is embarrassing. so, this morning, on this wednesday morning, texas is the, you know, the circle -- you know, the epicenter of all the big news. it's where that four-day migrant manhunt ended. it's also the object of all this title 42 conversation. and texas, today, is where we find our buddy will cain. >> ainsley: yeah. will is live from the ol' south pancake house in fort worth, texas. hey, will. >> will: good morning, ainsley, brian, steve. welcome in to the old south pancake house where the morning is getting started with a little chicken and waffles and texas chowdown which i'm going to show you steve. i know you love to know what's on the menu in a moment. i don't know if it's out of solidarity for me but there is a heartening number of longhorn shirts here this morning. even though i'm in the backyard of the t.c. horn frogs. pressure is on. a big longhorn turnout. that's not what we're going to be talking about.

we are going to be talking about how they feel about politics as we head to 2024. illegal migration as you point out and here we go. all right, doocy. it's the texas chowdown. i have to read what's in it pause the ingredients, i'm going to show you this thing. this is a sandwich with four eggs, two ham steaks, six slices of bacon, a half pound of golden hash browns, loads of american cheddar cheese all stacked between two texas shaped belgium waffles. the only thing that's missing in my estimation is grits. oh, look at that look at it break open. >> steve: is that one of the things if you eat the whole thing they put your picture up on the wall? >> i need to go snoop around the restaurant to see if they have a wall of fame to find out. kilmeade, don't ask me a question after that. because i will have runny eggs all over my cheeks in a second. >> brian: ask i ask a question? this is my moment.

>> will: this is your moment, i know how you like to eat on camera. >> ainsley: i have a question. will you get your steps in today? >> brian: going to have to run sprints. >> steve: if not. >> brian: in a rubber suit. >> steve: very nice. is he going to be there ol' south pancake house. >> brian: not wrestling 156 this year. >> ainsley: go give you time to put on your rubber suit so you can do some laps. it does look good. >> steve: chicken and waffles? >> brian: doesn't seem to be a breakfast meal. chicken is something you get the eggs from the chicken in the morning and then have you option for lunch and dinner. >> ainsley: you get the egg first and then kill the chicken for dinner? >> brian: i grew up on the farm. >> steve: it's all the same thing. >> ainsley: like steak and eggs always weird eating breakfast and dinner together. >> steve: you should try it, will you try it.

>> brian: i don't think so. >> steve: it's delicious. watch this wild video. a police officer. >> ainsley: look, he sees it coming. >> steve: barely escapes. >> brian: what instincts. >> steve: almost crushed by that out of control car. the speed the 17-year-old driver was doing that guy is so lucky to be alive. >> plus, remember this. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. >> never discussed it with his son. the newly released 2011 emails revealing hunter biden did help business associates get access to his then vice president father. >> brian: i know he wasn't discussing the kid out of wedlock because that doesn't come up, either. ♪ whatever it takes ♪ you take me to the problem i'm ready for ♪ whatever it takes ♪ because i

[laughter] i think he just broke up with me. now to the latest on the hunter biden scandal. emails from 2011 revealing the first three business associates get access to his father who was then vice president. >> steve: these email and also some visitors logs from the white house suggest that one of biden's top aides at the white house was assisting hunter's

efforts to secure a multi billion dollars overseas deal. >> ainsley: the deal was we got to get that meeting with your dad. todd piro is here now with all the details. >> the plot thickens again. emails and white house logs reveal then vice president joe biden's deputy chief of staff appears to have met with three of hunter biden's business associates at the white house in 2011. at least one of them was a foreign national. hunter was in talks with devon archer co-founder of rosemont sebaali can a partners to strike up a business opportunity with sean who is now a host at msnbc. reveal that con lynn was trying to get joe biden to attend the meeting, too. we need to get these guys to an event or something where they get to just formerly meet your dad for fossil-on they can talk to chief of staff. hunter said the meetings were not possible a face-to-face with his father and biden's chief of

staff could not happen on such short notice but hunter added he would meet with them himself. the first son eventually changed his tune. he responded to archer's email writing, quote: tell him i'll do the meeting. three weeks after that email visitor logs reveal the visitors met at the white house and stayed for 30 minutes. con loan's roll in setting up the meetings he responded to fox news request for comment saying quote, i know absolutely nothing about that the purpose ever the meeting was quote a humanitarian meeting. emails and visitor logs appear to contradict the president's repeated claims that he was never involved in his son's overseas business deals. the white house and hunter's lawyers did not respond to requests for comment. but, guys, i'm wondering if that word humanitarian is going to make its way into a lot more of these defenses of this behavior going forward. it certainly is an interesting

play. we will see if works. >> brian: did any of these guys work for unicef? we'll have to see. >> steve: all right. todd. >> steve: did the story and excellent leg work on it. unclear if hunter or now the president joe biden actually profited off of that meeting. and these meetings. because we know the republican investigators, they have got professional investigators combing through all this stuff, they have not indicated they found anything illegal at this point. you got to figure if they had something they would tell us. >> ainsley: one substantial profit on this deal. another one suggests that a meeting with the vice president or his chief of staff would have to occur asap in order to access additional bonds worth billions of dollars we know he was on the

burisma board while the vice president was in charge of the portfolio. we know about cefc that chinese firm that was linked it the chinese government and guess who was on air force 2 going over to china with the president, hunter biden. all these things are just simmering in and around the then vice president nau the president makes you wonder how much longer this statement will stand up. >> steve: what statement? >> brian: we're going to roll it. >> ainsley: this is when peter doocy asked him. >> steve: flashback. it's a montage, gotcha. >> i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses, period. >> mr. vice president how many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings. >> i have never spoken to my son about his overseas business

dealings. >> you stand by your statement that did you not discuss any of your son's business dealings. >> yes, i stand by that statement. >> steve: he stands by the statement but it flies in the face of reality how is that possible? because we know that you see those things we don't know that they broke any laws, but, for him to say i have never spoken to my son about what he does overseas with these companies, that just seems crazy. ainsley: what dad is close to their son, doesn't talk about their son's business? >> steve: i talk to my son about his overseas business dealings all the time. >> ainsley: if i brought any of you all home to meet with meet my dad of course is he going to talk about fox news. >> brian: i think it's a joke because we have him on tape from the laptop saying about the "the washington post" story i don't think basically to paraphrase i didn't think anything is bad in there i think we avoided the worst stuff. i read the article. amazing how clued in he is about business dealings a guy talking to his son leaving voice mail

about business dealings. i would love this question, mr. president who is tony bobulinski? have you ever met him before? because he was saying that he was doing business w and your family and you were the big guy and you got x amount of percentage on all these deals. he has never been asked. bobulinski says i met him here at the beverly hills hotel after he gave me a speech. he asked me what the speech was like. weave discussed he has different meetings with the former vice president when he was in between jobs he has never been asked as far as i know do you know tony bobulinski? because it's proof he was part of that business deal. so when is that world going to close in? when is the bow going to be put on? when is the whole thing going to be laced up and put tight? >> ainsley: ask him when you get your exclusive with him. >> brian: with bobulinski or will the president? >> steve: he did say he turned over all those boxes to the federal government to the fbi. if they find anything, you would

think they would do something, because that was during the trump administration. >> ainsley: maybe that will be on some of his notes when he talks to reporters. this is how you answer tony bobulinski questions when peter doocy asks you. >> brian: walk in the door right first and had left, bend your knees, find the chair. rotate slowly, slide up to the table. >> ainsley: brian, read the teleprompter. >> brian: a third person is stabbed near uc davis in a week. lifting shelter in place order with no one behind bars. the student speaks out on the crime surrounding his campus, next. ♪(uplifting music)♪ along with significantly clearer skin... skyrizi helps me move with less joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue. and is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses.

angeles? >> you know, probably not quite as much as los angeles. but, homelessness is certainly an issue here in davis. you know, there is definitely a lot of people who are homeless, who are mentally ill and unfortunate situation. it isn't to say this murderer is mentally ill as in he is homeless or mentally ill but we don't know anything. >> brian: what would you like it see happen karan, would you like to see more of a police presence you? say people are concerned walking around campus. do you sense people are taking this as seriously as they should? >> i think the people are taking this as seriously as they can. as for what i would like to see, i think a lot of us would like to see a stronger police presence, robust police presence more police officers around the city, more cameras and a lot more lighted areas. we have a situation where many of the lights they go out at 7:00 or. so and i think a lot of us would prefer if it stays on longer. we would also like it see and i think we are starting to see
