the spaces of sadness. >> todd: you're watching "fox and friends first"s, i'm todd piro. >> ashley: i'm ashley strohmier, in for carley shimkus. the 33-year-old suspected gunman, as they piece together the motive for the attack on innocent shoppers. brooke singman. >> brooke: the suspected gunman is 33-year-old dallas resident maricio. he was a security guard from april 2016 to april 2020. texas dps record says he received two untd ros of firearm training and authorities are invest investigating garcia's beliefs after tattoos he had showed

neonazi believing. three victims are in critical condition fighting f their lives this morning with the others in fair condition. garcia was shot and killed to a police officer who was responded to an unrelated call. >> moving. trying to -- i got -- >> brooke: texas governor greg abbott praising the officer's quick response. listen. >> gratitude for the swift response of that police officer, single police officer had to confront that dangerous gunman and did the right thing by taking swift action to eliminate the gunman and we are grateful. >> brooke: pastor john mark

kayton recognized the brave first responders who rushed to the mall. >> we honored the first responders, we cannot thank you enough or your spouse wherever you are on every place and space, you are part of the solution. >> lucas: christian lacore was among those killed, his mother tells wfaa, he is my light and my peace and he's gone. there is nothing we need except prayers and time to mourn together as a family. a family assistance center is offering crisis support and . >> todd: bring in florida congressman cory mills.

>> members cannot continue to meet this epiepidemic with a shrug. i want assault weapons and universal background checks i will sign it immediately. your response, congressman. >> thank you for having me on, it is attack itself not identifying any potential mental health issues, not looking at the environment around us. the left is so quick to vilify weapons, but we know we just saw another incident in i believe brownsville, texas, eight people murdered by a vehicle. what is next? will biden say let's ban vehicles? recognize we have a mental health issue in america and start identifying how do we get

support for individuals, it is my understanding this shooter in allen, texas, did get discharged from the military and had served in the military, but discharged for mental health issue. we have to identify the root cause of the actions. there are bad people throughout the world, whether use liesing a weapon, their vehicle, some type of a weapon, these are things people have a right to defend themselves. the approach of making everyone defenseless is not the answer. >> ashley: no doubt there is an issue. we hear about mass shootings all the time, have have been guns around for a long time and the left always go to the gun issue instead of mental health issue. what would the system look like? there are so many ways to go

about this, would it be on federal level, state level, what does it look like to you? >> it could be every single person, when you go into a gun store and purchase a weapon, you fill out a background investigation form. in that maybe is something that talks about whether or not you have had mental health treatment in the past year, not sure what the exact answer is. the reality is, we've had weapons in america since we became america. the idea this is the thing we need to vilify or say is -- it needs to be banned or outlawed, that is foolish when you are not addressing the real issue. >> todd: feels like we are in a hopeless cycle of shooting followed by blaming guns and lasts in headlines and then disappeared and people are dead and we need a solution. >> ashley: no respect for human life. >> todd: there is notment fox

news drone team catching this image of immigrants as republicans are set to vote on border security package this thursday. keep this video up for a moment, should we get used to more scenes this week if title 42 goes away? >> cory: i know censorship tillis and sinema were trying to put something in place for extension of title 42. title 42 is an emergency protocol for the public health situation during the pandemic. it is my understanding 70,000 people in a year killed from overdose of fentanyl, that is severe health issue. we could put title 42 in place permanently until the invasion does stop. you had 2.3 million people that

we're aware of that came into the country last yoo year and set for another record 1.3 million. the idea we would see a surge up to 18,000 a day really puts the cbp at the biggest disadvantage possible. start looking at securing borders, putting back president trump's agreement, making title 42 permanent policy and looking at trying to protect sovereignty of america. >> ashley: mayorkas said biden administration has been preparing for a year and a half, are they expected that app to work for every single person, the string of people that you saw in brownsville in the video is last thing they are worried about right now. talk quickly about hr 2, the gop secure the border act, restart construction of the border wall, increase border patrol agent and

strengthen law to accompany unaccompany's children. what is most key to securing the border? >> cory: all of it is key. every element in the plan, this is similar to the texas border plan, that was discussed prior to the speaker's vote. one thing we talk about, get back to securing the border and have ability to turn away those trying to come here illegally. my bigger thing, what is the biden administration doing? secretary mayorkas told us borders are secure, they are not, he has done that before border hearing and working on a plan for 18 months. secretary mayorkas and joe biden have dereliction of duty and my

opinion secretary mayorkas should be removed, resign or be impeached because he has put american lives at risk, children's life at risk. in 2018, mexican cartel were making 500 million to now 13 billion last year, that is a massive jump of which almost 50% is human and child sex trafficking. there is no plan democrats have in place, whether the budget, border or help america first, they are sitting on rhetoric with no action. >> todd: what is joe biden doing, not just a question cory mills is doing, only 36% approve of joe biden's job he's doing.

poll shows americans favor trump over biden 45-38% and favoring ron desantis over biden, take a look, 42-37%. this is catastrophic for joe biden. a few weeks ago he was leading both trump and desantis. what is your take on the numbers? >> cory: 70% of americans don't want joe biden to run. he's failed economically, on the world stabling we saw with the botched afghan withdrawal, war ukr ukraine. look at everything going on right now, complete failure when under the trump administration it was nothing like we're seeing today. the american people are waking up and realizing that the issues

that we're facing at home, issues we're facing abroad. we've lost respect on the world stage because of joe biden is his presidency. >> ashley: not a lot of action being done to fix problems, cory mills, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> ashley: former ncaa swimmer riley gaines, encouraging athletes to protest biological males. >> we have girls who, the whistle blows and they don't run or swim, they stand up on the block and don't go. it is unfortunate, of course, to ask women to make that sacrifice because these are their sports, they should be enthailands titled to play. >> ashley: gaines tied with lia thomas in the 200 meter ncaa

championship last year, the association made gaines hold a participation trophy giving the fifth place plaque to thomas. >> todd: you like nascar? wild race, denny hamlin, on the checked flag, he won it from kylie larson, with last lap for 49th win of his career. >> he got the wiggling. >> they are side by side. >> he had to lift. >> he did. >> larson is in the wall. >> my gosh, barely tapped him, run, danny. >> denny hamlin. >> todd: i don't want them to hear me say hamlin stole it. 33 race drought ended. pit row after the race, rivalry between chastain and gragsden

scuffle and could make for awkward week at work with gregson revealing the two practice together every single day. >> ashley: all these athletes fighting. >> todd: great segue to the n.b.a. playoffs, suns tie against the nuggets, nuggets star jokic getting called for a t after appears to shove the suns' owner. >> jokic, contacts, that potentially could get dangerous. >> todd: the son's owner. james harden knocked down the game-winning shot in ot, winning over the b boston celtics.

>> harden from three. >> todd: clutch shot, that series tied 2-2. stop fighting, it is upsetting ashley. >> ashley: everybody is fighting, men, women, basketball, soccer, everybody stop fighting. >> todd: with that -- >> ashley: now to this, explosive eheff mails believed to show briberies between president dating back to 2019. >> todd: first gas stove, now the biden administration coming for your dishwasher? what? really? latest green guidelines coming from the white house. are you going to fight these guidelines? >> ashley: i don't know, i might. >> todd: after this.

e-mails reveals budcummines e-mailed an official saying that biden and kerry exercised influence to protect burisma in exchange for payment. the person who made the transfers was told one goes to joe biden. cummines claimed the e-mail was ignored and he learned his phone records were secretly obtained by the justice department. "new york post" show former cia chief mike morell misled officials by saying he would discredit the post about hunter biden laptop. mike morell said he drafted the letter because he believed the russians were involved and we think trump will attack biden on this issueats this week's debate. the chief wanted to skip

security review to give joe biden a talking response to use in response. >> todd: potential hunter biden indictment may include charges of tax and gun violation, this is ahead of the wednesday announcement of more evidence against the biden family. james comer has this message to the justice department. >> do not indict hunter biden before wednesday, when you have the tubt opportunity to see the evidence that the house oversight committee will produce with respect to web of llc's and adversary cal countries, they are looking at a slap on the risk. >> todd: grace curly joins me now, how do you see this playing out? do you think the doj will listen to james comer or try to jump on the charges and say, we did our part, before the real stuff

comes down? >> i think what you described, the fact comer is asking ememthis not to do it before wednesday means they will probably do before wednesday. we have seen joe biden do an interview on msnbc, seems to be softening the soil for pardoning his son. strategy from the left from the white house is deny, deny, deny he's done nothing wrong. joe biden said he is proud of his son. no nuance to this strategy. look at all the evidence republicans are coming forward with. >> todd: speaks of that interview on msnbc, listen to more of it. >> president biden: my son has done nothing wrong, i trust him, i have faith in him and it impacts my presidency by making me feel proud of him. >> todd: hunter biden is an angel, what is biden going to

say when hunter biden is indicted at some point? >> yeah, this part amazes me, it is not just him saying he's innocent s, him saying he's proud of him. joe is banking on the fact that the american people will be uninformed on the cases and will not look into it like they didn't in 2020 and the american media will continue to run cover for him, otherwise you couldn't have this arrogance going into this kind of thing. he could be rights, maybe this deny, deny, deny and pro tending his son is a perfect angel, will work for him. this could come back to hurt him. >> todd: it really could if other media other than us cover this. look at numbers reported in the last block. joe biden is low and predominantly that has to do

with the economy, you cannot hide how people are feeling in their wallet, when people hear the story of hunter biden and how it ties together with joe biden and the family, those numbers could get lower and that is a major problem for this administration? they are talking about getting rid of your dishwasher if it united states00s too much water, biden energy department putting out new goodlines, including limitting amount of water in a dishwasher, wanting all dish washers to use 27% less power and 34% les water. why is the white house choosing to focus on my maytag, grace? >> you are right, if they were this interested in cracking down on illegal immigration as they were cracking down on dishwashers and ush wai washing

machines. manufacturers are saying this will decrease efficiency and increase the cost of manufacturing, which gets pushed on to consumers. in joe biden's mind, that is small price to pay to check off a box that will appease climate activists in this country. they do not care if it is more expensive for the american people. >> todd: such a small minority of people pushing this, this is beyond democrat and republican. they lot of democrats are like, what is going on, why are messing with my durbwasher? you are right climate activists are getting this administration to do wild things. the most important question, will my dishes get clean? >> see, i don't know. this is where it comes down to, do you wash your dishes before?

do you rinse and put them in or leave them with food on? that is highly contested debate, as well. >> todd: i will not admit what i do here, looking out of the corner of my eye, i see ashley strohmier waving her head no, she puts her dishes in as dirty as possible, sometimes with full meals on them. and prays, a lot of faith and hope. keep us posted on your dishwasher. >> thank you. >> todd: back to breaking news this morning, we showed this shocking video of hundreds of migrants at the border, wait until you see this. the streets of el paso packed with migrant camps, conditions are completely unsafe. we'll talk to one resident next 6789 >> ashley: end of title 42 setting up showdown in new york, suburban lawmakers is warning eric adams not to send migrant buses his way, we have the

details next.

>> ashley: fox news alert, driver ran over a group waiting outside a shelter facility in brownsville, texas, yesterday morning. >> bodies start flying all over, they were dead, some missing legs, it was horrible. >> todd: director of the shelter says the migrants, mostly venezuelan men were waiting on a bus. the driver in custody and charged with reckless driving, more charges are pending. the incidents does not appear to have been accidental. and suburban warfare in rockland unt county new york. eric adams says he will bus immigrants their way.

we have law enforcement deployed ready to react to anything that comes up to this county. the big apple 122 hotel shelters and eight humanitarian shelters are overwhelmed after 60's,000 migrants arrived over the past year. >> ashley: okay, let me get this straight. new york city, sanctuary city, they designated themselves as that. they can't handle influx of migrants, so ship them up north to rockland county? it is pretty red as far as new york is concerned. in 2020 split 50/50 for biden and trump. isn't this what eric adams has gone after governor abbott and desantis for all these months we've talked about? he went back after them last week, they are going to start

bussing from texas again saying he can't handle it. i don't understand the double standard here. he is -- it is okay when he does it, but not when governor abbott? if new york city who says they are sanctuary city, cannot handle migrants when they say come here, we'll help you out, if they can't handle it here, how does he think texas is handling it when we see videos of thousands of migrants, 99% are single, middle-aged men. not seeing family and friends, what does he think abbott is doing, just to do it? >> todd: adams has boxed himself inner hoo. with regard to sanctuary city, can we end the virtue signalling? all the polices that put them

out there, look how great we are, we will welcome anybody, when the people show up, sanctuary cities have said, you have to leave, you can't stay here. one other point, you don't watch local news outside the new york metropolitan news. ed day don't play, an executive that reminds me like a texas executive dressed in a new york state garb. he will not mess with this, he is not bluffing, interesting to see how this plays out. you'll have a city mayorerce have s county executive, could it come down to somebody in the state decide what happens? curious to see how this plays out. >> ashley: regardless of what is upon haing, it is not just new york. in texas, in el paso, we see the streets lined outside that church, and see videos circulating ahead of title 42 ending on thursday, there were

cases of chicken pox and bed bugs, that is drop in the bucket to what we could see. this is not how americans want to live, they do not want to go downtown el paso, go to church and see this. i mean, yes, it is a humanitarian issue, but where is mayorkas and biden, kamala harris? >> todd: ash, the images on the screen is before title 42 ends this week, imagine what will happen when it ends? you will see the numbers explode and you will see the images just get worse and worse and worse. >> ashley: and i cannot stress enough, watch the videos, do you see women and children? at least majority of them? no. you are seeing middle-aged, single men. that is not to say there is 87,000 children wandering around

the united states, the biden administration cannot find them. look at this, this is brownsville, texas, and the people we have on the show from brownsville, texas, talk about immigrants trying to get on their property. one woman added $15,000 in security to watch what is upon haing because she doesn't feel safe. what is going to happen thursday? >> todd: great question, alejandro mayorkas says they are ready for it, take a listen. >> we've been preparing for this for quite sometime, we tried to end title 42 repeatedly and stopped by the courts, so we are prepared. number two, we have migration information center set up to communicate with state and local officials and we have been doing so. >> todd: i hope you are right, i hope you are ready, it doesn't feel that way if these are i

images before title 42 expires, tough week in texas. >> ashley: we spoke to cory mills and i said what is the plan, cb-1 app or the app biden administration is relying on? i hope not and i hope not for the people in texas and border state, arizona and really the united states. young police officer shot and killed in front of her home early saturday morning. following her shift in the city's south side, 24-year-old preston joined the cpd just three years ago, something she wanted to do since a college trip to germany and poland. she told the newspaper back in 2021, i know a big thing for the trip was finding voices for those who do not have a voice. i got back and i want to be a

>> todd: happy days stcott bao s leaving california. i'm making my wai to exit stage right from california, citing the state a homelessness crisis. no consequences for crime that is rampant, it is not a safe place anymore. hashtag, i'm free. he fled the golden state over concerns, including ares like mcconaughey and irving. yeah, i mean, when i left in 2012, i left to come here for a job. if i were still stuck in california, i would have gotten out by now. the images you see in the area where i live, i used to walk the

streets of los angeles, go on skid row to go to a restaurant in between my office. i wasn't worried, was it the most beautiful place in the world? no issue but i wasn't scared and now you wouldn't catch me dead in that area. >> ashley: they have thrown tens of billions of dollars at the problem and it is still a major problem. the thing with actors, i'm not sure what matthew mcconaughey's political status it, i don't think it matterses, mark wahlberg and scott bao, they are conservative, not sure about keith urban, but it is saying something when you leave for something other than family, a job. they are leaving because of the homelessness crisis, drug problems. it is not safe. how would you like to take your

kids in that area and drag them across the homelessness people, not knowing what they are going to do, if they have drugs, weapons, no one knows. >> todd: it is life-long californians, i went to law school with a young lady, who was a californiian, grew up in orange county, didn't want to leave orange county. they left, uprooted the whole family. relatives of my wife did the same thing, they just moved to georgia. people are sick of it, not putting up with it. >> ashley: i hope when they move to states they like the policy and don't see the homelessness crisis and do not vote the same way they did in the blue states. >> todd: a concern, scott bao was on "charles in charge." president biden could invoke the 14th amendment, including

provision protecting public debt held by the government. janet yellen says this would be a constitutional crisis. >> there is no way to protect our financial system and our economy other than congress doing its job and raising the debt ceiling and enabling us to pay our bills and we should not get to the point where we need to consider whether the president can go on issuing debt. this would be a constitutional crisis. >> todd: james langford calling it out. certainly not a good option and she said it would be constitutional crisis. it's been 96 days since the president talked about the debt limit with the speaker of the house. that is most stunning part,

everyone knew it was coming, it is time to negotiate. >> todd: president biden scheduled to meet with house speaker kevin mccarthy about the debt ceiling tomorrow. >> ashley: top biden officials met with leaders in saudi arabia yesterday to discuss a new railway project in the middle east and india. the white house says the work will advance shared vision of middle east interconnected with india and the world. train workers at home want to know why president biden is not bringing that prosperity to our falterring railways especially after they say biden turned their backs on them during the rail strike. alec lace has been a railroad mechanic for 23 years and joins me now live in the studio. the white house will team up with the saudis and leave you out to dry, what is your biggest issue? >> joe biden has made enemies with the railway workers, he

campaigned telling us he is railway joe, choo-choo charlie, then what happens? turns down the package that would have given railway workers seven days of sick pay, this is per year. he stabs us in the back. there were two packages, six republican senators voted for a package to give us seven sick days. i interviewed senator cruz, hawley and marco rubio. the railroad system in america is like a technology museum. get in a time machine and see what technology is like, go to any railroad in the united states and since this is the federal government, the r railroad, every time we get a new piece of technology or equipment, it goes through all

the red tape and regulation and gets to us on the rail, it is five years out of date already. stick railroad ties in the desert in the middle east. take care of america first before we build high speed there, we don't have it in the united states yet. >> ashley: this is a slap in the industry's face. >> of course it is, by the book, railroaders usually vote blue, they will do the best for you, that ain't happening no more. shame on him, he's made enemies, trying to put a bandaid on it, recently, we are going to get four days. the people running the show realize they made a mistake and ticked off railroaders and trying to hold it together, but it ain't going to fly. >> ashley: you said the majority

of people in the industry voted for trump in 2020, what do you think that will look like in 2024? do you foresee anyone after everything that happened in december and him turning on your industry, do you think anybody in the industry will vote for him? >> you will have people that will vote for him, but i tell you this, i've been through six presidential cycleless and i never saw so many vote republican like i did in 2016. 2020, biden with the promise, thought don't go this route, now they will not vote or vote republican in the last election because of this. >> ashley: what do you want to see done? what is biggest thing that needs to know done for america's railroads? >> focus on america first. when you can say we can compete with japan and china, then maybe talk about building railroads overseas, get it done here and take care of the american worker, we worked through covid

and all we got was a pat on the back. none of the covid money went to the workers. take care of america first. >> ashley: technology and equipment, from what you said, nowhere near up to dates, so many things could be changed and he ran on the platform he was everyone's president in america. we'll see what happens in 2024. alec lace, thank you for your time, we appreciate it. todd. >> todd: mainstream media knows the president is in trouble with lowest approval rating in modern history. >> president biden pushing back on questions from stephanie rhul, and more revealed in this brand-new poll. >> todd: brutal for biden, talk with mike mike huckabee and joe concha and cheryl casone here live, jam-packed 5 a.m. hour on

tap, don't miss a minute.
