extinguishing actions that need to be taken and we have not received an adequate response. we will pressure the government until we expect what we need to manage the expected influgs. >> ashley: doug luzader has more. >> doug: scrambling ahead of this thursday deadline on both sides of the border. we've seen long lines in texas, hundreds of immigrants, that is just a fraction of the thousands that come across everyday. the administration has claimed the border is closed and secure and blaming congress. >> the president has taken action on this issue of the border since day one and what we're seeing from republican officials and from congress, they want to play politics and

not deal with an issue that has challenged us for decades. this is nothing new and challenged us for decades and the president is doing everything in his power and he needs congress to act. >> doug: the white house says they have been prepared, but the situation is out of control. the chief of border patrol shared a tweet with just the numbers over 72-hour period. more than 26000 apprehension, 7000 gotaways, drug seizures from marijuana to meth to fentanyl, three sex offenders and a wanted felon were caught, as well. they say the white house has let this happen. >> they have had quite a while to get a handle on this, especially when it was one or two areas in texas that we were dealing with. now it is spread across the southern border and spreading to the north other than border and

coastal areas like miami. it will not take long to breach the 100,000 march after may 11. >> doug: 1500 u.s. troops being deployed to provide administrative support, that will only go so far. some expect the staggering numbers of illegal immigrants to double once title 42 ends on thursday. todd and ashley. >> ashley: not a good situation for anyone down at the border dealing with that. doug luzader, thank you. fox news alert, three jihad commanders are dead after israelis strikes at the gaza strip overnight. the israelis defense forces admitting they were aware of some collateral from the strike in reference to wives and children of the commanders who were also killed. the three leaders were targeted.

burglars are up and auto thefts up 167% as total crime in new orleans rises. harvey gulf international marine joins us now. the final straw in deciding to move your business was this attempted kidnapping which i think happened at 7:30 in the morning. what else led to this decision? >> we have a crime out of control in our city, like most major cities that are just not having judges impose the right bonds and sentences on criminals which afford them to commit more crime. i've watched this for 10 years. i considered moving then issue but rode it out longer, about 10

years. it is just time to move. we had the jazz fest last week and we had patrons having dinner issue the restaurant was shot up. an innocent bystander was shot. those things should not go on in america and i cannot let my people be put in those positions. move to the jefferson parrish, the sheriff there is committed to fighting crime and the da is prosecuting people and the judges impose harsh sentences. >> ashley: is there a police staff fully forced there? >> oh, yes, largest sheriff's ofls in louisiana, 1100 to 1150 gun-carrying officers, i used to be one of them for the prior sheriff. i know the department well and i

know when my people move there, they will be safe every single day. >> ashley: we appreciate your service when you did work there. the mayor said the city was disappointed to learn harvey gulf will be leaving new orleans. safety is a top concern for stake holders. is she aware of this or is she more talk, no good? >> to be fair for her, she inherited from the previous mayor a horrible consent decree. i worked with attorney general jeff landry, i gained knowledge of the consent decree for the city of new orleans in terms of handcuffing the police department and officers from doing their jobs. all fairness to her, she

inherited something that needs to go along and the attorney general is working with the mayor to get out from under that consent decree, which we need badly in new orleans. we need to restore law and order and put bad people in jail. it is the only way to stop this crime wave that cities are seeing every single day. >> ashley: quickly before i let you go, do you regret not leaving 10 years ago when you thought about it? >> you know, i don't regret it issue the city is great, when i think thises are running well, it is vibrant and fun, they have great restaurants. the people are wonderful to interact with, the french quarter is amazing to visit. it is time for me to protect my people if the mayor's office cannot get out from under that federal consent decree.

>> ashley: it falls on businesses, if the mayor is not going to do it. thank you for your time, we appreciate it. the fbi has until tomorrow to turn over documents about alleged bribery scheme involving joe biden and we're finding out same accusations were brought to the doj in 2018. the former white house stenographer who raised red flag about the biden family business dealings is here next. >> todd: the media is covering that, i am wrong, the media is not focused on this, they are diving into the president's diet. the food fight they say could decide the 2024 election. ♪

>> todd: the justice department was told about bribery allegations concerning then vice president joe biden all the way back in 2018. an e-mail from a federal prosecutor saying the vp biden and kerry exercise influence to protect burisma in exchange for payment. the person who made the transfers were told that goes to joe biden. mike mccormick says he has evidence of a biden family kickback scheme joins me now. great to have you on the program. what was your reaction when you heard about the biden bribery allegations made two years prior to your allegations? >> i looked at the stories that were written about it and it fits into the narrative, it fits into the evidence that i have developed based on books i've written, my subset i've written.

joe biden masterminded what his son did with burisma. he started that in march 2014, i talked with you about it a while go about a flight he made to ukraine in april of 2014 and jake jake sullivan committed a crime that joe biden was in a kickback scheme with his son and burisma. this is joe getting money directly. it came from ukraine. the prosecutor, the american, mr.cummins was given this information from a ukrainian prosecutor. one said it looked like a wire transfer went from the owner of burisma holdings, who put hunter biden on the board, specifically to joe. he did his banking in cypress

and that flight i talked about, april 21, 2014, three weeks after that flight, joe biden flew to cypress on a very unusual white house trip. no press on it. very little reporting. >> todd: interesting, not a lot of people head to cypress ever, specifically from the united states government. when you piece the allegations together, mike, what conclusion do you have to draw? >> mike: not many people from the white house went to cypress, last person before joe biden was john kennedy vice president johnson, 50 years in between trips. why was joe biden there? that is where burisma did their banking. my assessment, joe biden was there a week after his son was named on the board of burisma.

he didn't take media, i wasn't on the trip. they talked about energy security. they went there and to romania. joe biden is up to his neck in this criminal activity between burisma, his son and this whistleblower may have evidence that says this money went directly to joe, we saw it fchl it did, it came out of cypress. >> todd: back to the whistleblower, cummings, he alleged he had phone data accessed, is this chilling standard our doj utilizes when somebody raises a complaint like this? you attacked the deep states, we're going after you. you are ults matly reporting on potential illegal activity from somebody else? that seems chilling, mike. >> mike: that was shocking to me

when i read that, it shocked him. he's come forward again now about it. we're seeing a lot more whistleblowerses momentum is growing over what will come out tomorrow. james comer oversight committee, he has significant evidence to relay. i think there will be revelations and joe biden, like the old story where hole in the dike and a kid puts his finger in and stops the flood. the flood is coming through and they can't hold it back. >> todd: started with one hole and now swiss cheese, mike mccormick, thank you for speaking up. house oversight chair james comer, like you heard mike mention, is planning a major announcement tomorrow about the investigation into biden family corruption. >> ashley: and the congressman

gave us a first look what he will unveil, we'll share that with you next. >> james: i don't know if the doj is aware of the different llcs and schemes in the different countries that we're aware of and we'll present the facts to the american people tomorrow. get going. along with clearer skin, skyrizi helps with less joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and fatigue in just four doses a year after two starter doses. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms had a vaccine, or plan to. ask your doctor about skyrizi to treat your skin and joint symptoms - so you can get going. learn how abbvie could help you save.

announcement into his investigation of biden family business schemes tomorrow and he says he has receipts the american people and the doj need to see. >> james: there would be questions as to why family members received wire transfers from entities linked to the chinese communist party. family members without business experience. it didn't appear these are legitimate businesses. >> ashley: brooke singman has more on what to expect from the announcement. good morning. >> brooke: good morning, comer and other lawmakers on the house oversight committee will hold a press conference tomorrow morning to update the investigation. he joined us this morning with a preview of what they will share. >> james: we will present bank records tomorrow and talk about the different people they were taking money from.

their ties to foreign nationals in some of the worst countries on the planet. and i think the american people will have questions for joe biden. we'll see if the main-stream media has questions for joe biden. >> brooke: in the federal investigation into hunter biden, the doj could charge with tax fraud for failing to report income to the irs and falsely claiming he never used drugs when buying a gun in 2018. president biden's only public event yesterday amidreports his son could face criminal charges. there are row of empty seats at the event, the post media was not allowed to attend. the remarks will be live streamd and can be viewed at wh.gov.

the post has covered hunter biden's business dealings. it reported on files from hunter biden's laptop, characterized as russian disinformation. "new york post" columnist miranda devine is slamming the white house over the ban. listen. >> i think it is appalling, we have hit a never with the biden administration, it is not their press room, not joe biden's press room. it is the people's press room. for administration that is probably the most untransparent of any in recent memory and most opaque and president that is least accessible should be causing outrage with the rest of the media, they should boycott that press room. >> brooke: president biden insists his son has done nothing

wrong, as of last week. >> todd: bring in joe concha, brooke mentioned the laptop, doesn't this feel like laptop 2.0. >> joe: 3.0, been going on for a while. they should be sticking up for the "new york post," they just got banned, chilling threat to democracy. the same approximate president who celebrated freedom of the press last week. this is like my presidency, i will speak for 10 minutes and walk away cheerfully. that got applause. the "new york post" is oldest daily newspaper, it broke the hunter biden laptop story, they got locked out of their account and others said it was russian disinformation. from the "new york times" to jim

acosta, no fainting. >> todd: they love hamilton, who started the "new york post," maybe like the "new york post." >> joe: great point. >> ashley: good point, miranda devine says they struck a never, it is more than a nerve. the white house expects all hard pass holders will act in a professional manner by res respecting. following notice and an opportunity to respond. >> joe: wow, it is incredible, respect their colleagues. the white house starts respecting reporters trying to do their job, they can talk about respect. until this time, we have a president that has taken fewer solo press conferences less than any president in 40 years, this is the least accessible, most

protected president of our lifetime. >> todd: this media cracktown is a sign they know the walls are closing in on the biden family business. >> joe: the noose is tightening. >> todd: definitely. we have not spoken about hillary rodham clinton, she is praising joe biden, watch. >> i don't think he gets credit he deserves from the press or maybe some large segmentes of the people. he got a lot done in two years in very difficult circumstances. >> todd: in the middle, much in the same vein as deplorable comment, it is our problem, the american people's problem for not knowing and seeing amazingness of joe biden. >> joe: she didn't get into specifics. wages can't keep up, is it the

debt be? the border? it is about to explode and we've allowed 6.5 million in illegally. act scores at 30-year low. foreign policy, china moving on taiwan and endless war in ukraine and taliban controls afghanistan. if we were to look at big issues and say where does joe biden deserve credit, hard to find where that is, that is why he's at 36% approval and only 36% of democrats want him to run for another term. >> ashley: he has gotten more done in two years, not positive, never seen so much bad happen just pile up in just 18 months. we'll save that for a different day. >> joe: do you want to pivot? >> ashley: i do, axios taking deep dive into the president's disxet how food choices are

preparing him for a second term. his favorite meal is blt, pizza, peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti, cookies and ice cream. we have seen that. >> todd: thanksgiving background for this graphic? >> ashley: looks like it. you would think with everything going on right now, this would be the last of their concern. >> joe: indeed and i'm with joe biden, looki at this stuff. i'm anti-salmon, from the sea, not for me, bottom line. if joe biden really wants to show she cares about her husband, she would have recommended don't run for a second term. you will be 86 in the oval offense if you win again. two-thirds of voters believe

this president does not have the mental fortitude to stay in this office. this guy is not just working at the library to finish out retirement, this is commander-in-chief and two-thirds of the country thinks he is not up for the job, not sleeping well. >> todd: not a golf-course starter, he is president of the united states. golf course starter, that is what i will go to when i'm 80s, not planning on commander of the free world. >> ashley: one thing, though, jill is trying because when she recommends the fresh fish and veggies and stuff, she knows that helps cognitive function. >> todd: she should as well stepped in and said joe, no go for president. >> ashley: i'm not defending this. >> joe: let the man eat. >> todd: let joe concha eat what

he wants to eat. >> joe: i'm on a fasting diet. >> todd: governor desantis took a major step to keep chinese ccp influence out of the united states. cheryl casone has details. >> ashley: and female athletes speaking out after another victory in a woman's race. our next guest is calling on americans to unite in protest in women's sports. she's next.

>> ashley: president biden is finally set to meet with house speaker kevin mccarthy and other leaders to discuss the nation's debt ceiling. both sides are at odds with just weeks before our country could run out of money. >> todd: here is cheryl casone. cheek all eyes on washington when president biden will meet with speaker kevin mccarthy to in theory find common ground on the debt ceiling.

both sides remain at opposite ends. 31.14 trillion, voted to raise the debt limit through 2024. a are theback to biden's climate change agenda, end to student loan debt. the presidents it will be vetoed, the meeting scheduled for 4 p.m. today. >> ashley: new law in florida desantis just signed. >> cheryl: the bill is law, state of florida banning chinese citizenless from buying land until they are u.s. citizens. it is worried the chinese military would have a foodprint in the united states. more than 352, answer are00 acres of u.s. land was owned by

china in 2020. >> we are a nation where in many places we don't know who is coming over here or purchasing land, we're not vetting these things and we are vulnerable to foreign countries of concern. >> this is meant to protect citizens and other elements include protecting personal information and electronic health records of the citizens. pretty comprehensive piece of legislation. >> cheryl: the bill bans north korea, venezuela and cuba. >> todd: we let china get this far into our country before solving a problem. meantime, welcome to texas, tesla. >> cheryl: welcome to texas, y'all, my joke of the morning. >> todd: that is a cheryl thing. >> cheryl: that is my joke, i wrote that, i'm saying that. message from tesla from governor

greg abbott for a new lithium refinery in robb unto. welcome to south texas, tesla, we broke ground on new lithium refinery, securing production to power our future for generations to come. thank you elon musk for investing. >> todd: you, me, abbott issue wrote the same toss there. >> cheryl: we have it, what can i say? >> todd: love it. >> ashley: to the female cyclist furious after transgender athlete won first place in a women's race. inga thomas said it is time to protest the policy and take a knee at the starting line. team managers need to speak up

and protect their riders, save women's sports. she joins us now. thank you for being with us. you said protest and stand up, what do you say to the women who are too afraid to say anything in fear of backlash? >> well, this is where we come in. many are trying to be this voice to give the women confidence to step forward without fear of losing sponsorship and we are asking owners to step up, fans to come and have active support

of women so they can -- we can have equality in women sports and i'd like to say phillips is, they are competing legally per the policy laws right now and we need to look at changing the policy as when this was first passed, it was not based on science. now we have 17 peer-reviewed studies that show this is not fair to the women, most of us figured this out in elementary school w. austin winning, it has given women's cycling viz s viz sxiblt asking for protest for the women. >> ashley: uci defended trans

policy, saying acknowledge transgender may compete with gender identity sxen they backtracked saying they hear the voices of female athletes and concern about equal playing field and will take into account all elements including evolution of scientific knowledge. what scientific knowledge are they taking into consideration here? >> well, that is interesting. the science has been there for years and been ignored, they would rather have inclusion than fairness. the medical commissioner at uci, said, i don't quite understand the science when asked about women in sports and we work with peep whole have doctorates in sportses physiology. this is being actively ignored

and this is why we appreciate you covering this so once we start getting loud and getting coverage on this, i think uci will take a look at it. we've tried for five years to get a seat at the table and look at new science and policy and it has been silence and as of tuesday, they were saying we stand behind policy. by thursday, talking about protest publicly, they decided to relook at this and it wasn't because of new science, it is the public pressure that is now coming down. the science has been there for years. >> ashley: they have been following it all this time and all of a sudden want to change it. as i've said time and time again, it is hard to compete against a good, strong, solid biological female athlete, i couldn't imagine being a female

athlete having to compete against them and biological males. thank you for your time, we appreciate you. a final farewell to one of america's favorite mayors lori lightfoot taking a victory lap preparing to leave office. >> the mandate i was given was to break up the status quo that failed our residents for too long. >> ashley: is she passing the torch to someone worse for chicago? asking tomi lahren what she thinks. >> todd: brian kilmeade will look at "fox and friends." >> brian: you don't care what i think, i will not be hurt. the clock is ticking, can washington reach a deal on the debt limit before it is too late? no. top leaders head to the white house, i see cold shoulder after cold shoulder and biden family facing for one of their own to face charges and the white house is freaking out.

ahhh! icy hot pro starts working instantly. with two max-strength pain relievers, so you can rise from pain like a pro. icy hot pro. >> ashley: a fox news alert. we are less than 48 hours from the end of title 42 and border towns are bracing for a potential historic surge of migrant crossings which is already ramping up and is seen here in exclusive video from fox news' bill melugin.

>> todd: outkick host tomi lahren joins us. what's your reaction when you see that video from our amazing reporters at the border? you hear border officials say hey, if you thought it was bad before, just wait until you see what happens in 72 to 96 hours. what's your reaction to that? >> yeah. this is just a pregame. this is just the beginning of what it's on and pop and come thursday. i also want to say thank goodness for fox news reporters down there covering this while most of the media turning a blind eye to what has been going on two and a half years. 6 million plus illegal immigrants in this country so far. there is already hundreds of thousands amassing ready to come in after title 42 expires. to say put that in perspective for the audience my home state of south dakota is under 900,000 people. that's over six south dakotas come in the last two and a half years and about one south dakota waiting to come into this country. so, if you don't think this is

going to impact you and your community and your state because you're not on the border, think again. this is going to impact every single american. we already have a shortage of resources. we already have an economy that is struggling. now add in millions of people who are a lot of these people are low skilled labor and imagine the problems that we're going to have in the next year, the next five years, the next 10 years i would say mandate to next republican president there better be millions of deportations on the tactical when we get a republican president because this is you unsustainable. >> ashley: tomi, mayorkas has been saying the biden administration has been preparing for the last 18 month. what have they done to prepare? is it the app.? sending last minute 1500 active duty troops to the border by the way is just helping with transportation and trying to take the bulk of stress off the border patrol agents. even with that u.s. border

patrol period 3 day period. three sex offenders and wanted felons, 7,000 got-aways and those big seizures of drugs like meth and fentanyl. this is with title 42 in praise. it's going to be a disaster whenever it's out. >> you're exactly right. what you mentioned what the biden administration is trying to do to appear like they have got the situation under control. these 1500 troops god bless them for going down there, but they are not there to enforce the border. they are there to exat the tight indict the process. everything this administration has done so far he has been to move people into this country faster, to process people faster. i actually spoke to a border patrol agent who saw me in nashville last week and he came up to me with tears in his eyes and tomi i work in california and we are not prepared for what is going to happen next week. we are not prepared to process these numbers of people. it's not going to be catch and release. not even going to be release. walk on through because we do

not have the means to do anything to enforce our border or even process these people in a way then sures our national security. you mentioned the number of people that have got. in let's talk about the got-aways and people that got in with bad intentions because our border patrol agents were too busy processing and baby-sitting. that's the real concern here. the world knows our enemies know, the border is open. and they will definitely exploit it. they would be stupid not to. it's a golden opportunity for them. >> todd: tomi, what other reason could this administration have for the way that they have handled this over the past two and a half years than this is what they exactly want to happen. >> this is not a crisis. this is an opportunity. you don't sit back and allow millions of people to come into the country. we know that doesn't have to happen. because we saw the trump administration take steps to enforce our border. and we had apprehensions at record lows. so they knew this was coming. they allowed it to happen because they want it to happen. i quite frankly believe they want to give these people voting

rights, amnesty and add them to the democratic voting block so this is all a shameless attempt at doing just that unfortunately, it's working. >> ashley: not only drugs and people here illegally we have to worry about. but what about what diseases they have? we have no idea where these people have come from. tomi lahren, thank you so much for your time this morning we appreciate it. with that, "fox & friends" start right now. >> the biden white house bracing for the potential indictment of the president's son hunter. >> meanwhile the white house banned the "new york post" from attending president biden's event. >> it's not joe biden's pressroom. it's the people's pressroom. >> tens of thousands of migrants waiting to flood the u.s. once title 24 expires. >> the line almost as far as the eye can see. >> president has taken action on this issue of the border since day one. >> can president biden and speaker mccarthy come to an agreement on lifting the debt ceiling. >> highest stakes meeting yet of their career. >> treasury secretary janet yellen warning tha
