>> all right. wilmington, north carolina have a great day. thanks for starting it with "fox & friends." >> take your time getting dressed. dress slowly but ran fast to the radio. >> which i'll do. stay within yourself. >> bill: thank you, guys, bracing for bedlam. title 42 expected to expire in just a few hours' time. will that unleash a historic surge of illegal border crossings? we're about to find out. in some cases it already has. thursday, good morning, i'm bill hemmer. welcome to the program today. >> dana: good to see you. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." we're just -- this is tonight at midnight when this happens. t-minus 15 until title 42 comes to an end. the u.s. has relied on this

policy to expel 3 million illegal immigrants. >> bill: thousands are waiting for the green light in mexico. in texas, governor greg abbott is deploying national guardsmen to shore up security in his state. >> dana: they're relying on barbed wire to help make up for gaps in the border wall. despite all of this, dhs secretary mayokas continues to insist the border is closed. he blames the surge on criminals and cartels and urging asylum seekers not to listen to them. >> smugglers have long been hard at work spreading false information that the border will be open after may 11th. it will not be. the smugglers care only about profit, not people. they do not care about you or your well-being. do not believe their lies. do not risk your life and your

life savings only to be removed from the united states if -- if and when you arrive here. >> bill: on the hill house republicans ready to vote on a comprehensive immigration reform bill. president biden has pledged to veto that arguing the bill would make things worse. we'll speak with governor greg abbott and mike banks. peter doocy reports from the white house, alexis mcadams reports from new york city. we start on the border in brownsville with bill melugin. here we go, good morning. >> good morning to you. tonight at 11:59 p.m. eastern time everything changes here at the southern border. border patrol will lose title 42. a policy they have used millions of times to quickly expel people back to mexico. the migrants know that policy is going away and they are already showing up in enormous numbers. take a look at this stunning drone footage our team shot

right here in brownsville showing an absolutely massive amount of clothing, trash and rubbish left behind by these migrants after they cross illegally here. one of the major hot spots in brownsville. everything you look at is accumulated over a matter of a few days. mixed with all that clothing and trash are also i.d.s from around the world. paperwork from around the world and mexican humanitarian visas. before they get to our border they have to get to mexico first. mexico mass issues them visas and allows them to travel to mexico. go right to the u.s. border and once they cross over they get rid of their wet clothes, trash, food, i.d.s and that is one single spot along our border. there are dozens of these along the rio grande valley. look at the video we shot yesterday here in brownsville late yesterday afternoon. we went down to the edge of the river where you can see masses of people across the river in mexico gathering waiting to

cross illegally. some of them already in the water. some of them coming across on rafts. you will notice there is no resistance whatsoever on the mexican side. mexican immigration isn't trying to stop them. you see people in the water with kids and supplies and food and rafts. once they do get across to the u.s. side, the only resistance they are running into is coming from the state of texas, not the federal government. you will see texas national guard soldiers with barbed wire and soldiers and troopers trying to block them as they come across. you will see some of the migrants look confused and not used to being repelled. monday and tuesday alone of this week more than 10,000 border patrol apprehensions of migrants. some of the highest daily totals ever recorded in u.s. history. the border patrol union is already sounding the alarm in title 42 hasn't dropped yet. here is what they tweeted. field reports from agents across the southern border verify the en nor tee of this tidal wave of

illegal immigrants. huge groups are overwhelming stations and completely out of control. massive releases beginning and it will get much worse. thanks, biden. back out here live i have spoken with numerous border patrol and cbp officials and what they're telling me is the administration's number one priority now is avoiding overcrowding and the potentially damaging images of overcrowding that can come out of it. they want to process, process, process as quickly as possible and that we are likely about to see the largest wave of mass releases this country has ever seen. street releases have already been authorized across all nine southern border patrol sectors. buckle up, guys. send it back to you. >> bill: thank you, bill melugin beginning our coverage in brownsville. thank you. >> dana: all of this could be the new norm. president biden predicting the border will be chaotic for a while. peter doocy is live at the white house with more.

peter, yesterday mayokas said everything is fine. the president does predict chaos. >> chaotic is not a word you hear a commander-in-chief use to describe one of their own policies. president biden is basically saying that's just the way it is. >> president biden: well, we have had problems with the border for a numbers of years. >> you will see 15,000 or 150,000 at the border. are you sending more than 1500? >> president biden: what we want to do at the border is have it work and function the way it is designed to work. that requires us sending more immigration officers, more asylum judges. >> there is already such a backlog that some border crossers will be released with no way for the feds to track them. dhs is explaining it like this to us. u.s. border patrol sectors may release certain migrants who

undergone public safety vetting to continue their immigration processes. this may include a processing -- processing migrants for parole to reduce the amount of time they spend in custody. the house leaders on the republican side pushing a border bill today are warning against that kind of catching and releasing. >> it's insane. we are catching people from yemen. you have to understand these aren't people just coming from mexico, they are coming from 160 countries, yemen, china, others. why are they coming to america? we know what has happened in this country. we have to protect our country. >> they will have secretary mayokas join karine jean-pierre at the briefing today. president biden's on-camera activity, his one appearance will be to tout historic conservation actions, dana. >> dana: peter doocy at the

white house. >> bill: brandon judd, lieutenant alvarez and gentleman, welcome to both of you. i want to -- if we can in a simple way to help our viewers understand what's happening as of tonight. under title 42, an agent can process and send 40 migrants back to mexico in five minutes. that's what we understand. when title 42 goes away, it will take one agent 30 minutes to an hour to process one migrant and determine where he or she will go next. now we're told this title eight goes into effect next meaning if you don't apply first in mexico, you can be expelled immediately. i don't know if that's going to be enforced. we'll find out from you in a moment here. what the president just said when he was up in white plains, new york yesterday he believes based on that sound bite the problem is resources, brandon judd. there is not enough on the border to handle everybody and

that's quite evident. what is going to happen now? >> it is more lies from this administration. more deflections. it's a problem of policy. if we had the proper policy we could control the border tomorrow. we don't need to throw more money at this or have taxpayers shoulder the burden. we have to have proper enforcement stances. if we have that we can stop this tomorrow. he just won't give that to us because he knows it goes against his base. what we have to go back to is we have to go back to the rule of law and what makes us safe. what makes the american people safe and it's so disgusting to every one of us trying to protect the american people. it is policy not more resources. >> dana: lieutenant, could you explain to people what could be different? we've been covering this story every day and i want you to be able to tell people if you've been following us on fox news as we've covered the story, what

will be different for the people of the texas department of public safety tomorrow morning? >> well, dana, we are more involved than we've ever been in terms of border security. the past two years and why we're talking about this topic the administration has dismantled every policy put in place. they canceled the construction of the border wall and took away every viable tool from u.s. border patrol to do their job on the front lines and enforce criminal work and seeing the mass migration between the ports of entry. yesterday we started taking a pro-active approach. governor abbott made it clear in march of 2021 operation lone star we weren't going the wait for the administration to take responsibility for their actions we would step in and do the job and what we've been doing for two years. yesterday we cleared out brush along the river and we put razor wire along with national guard to stem the flow of people coming across between ports of entry.

they talk about humanity and compassion, more orderly process. there is nothing humane or compassionate about people crossing between ports of entry with their children on a dangerous river. when they make it to the united states they have nowhere to go. the shelters are at capacity and now they're sleeping in the streets. clearly they have not done anything to protect these migrants coming across the border and we will continue to take more action and address any threats we see along the border and we have to keep in mind we have to focus on the criminal activity that's also going to be taking place because of title 42. an increase in human and drug smuggling and gotaways. every single resource, federal resource will be pulled from the front lines and have to process. now we'll have to fill that void. >> bill: the razor wire is just one location along the border that extends hundred treitz of miles. brandon judd, you asked the question what should the policy be? >> we've got to do 1 of 2 things.

we either have to hold them in custody pending a deportation proceeding or send them back to mexico and wait there until their day in court. all of these individuals that cross the border illegally have the right to petition for their day in court but they don't have the right to be released to the united states. that's the magnet drawing all these people. it is a reward. they get released into the united states we reward them for their unlawful acts and we have to take that away. that's what the consequence has to be. it has to be to either wait in custody until you have your day in court or wait in another country until your day in court. by the way, that's what all developed countries around the world do. they don't allow people to enter their country illegally and be released. they make them wait in another country pending their asylum claim in that country and we need to do that as well. >> dana: thank you so much for kicking us off this morning as we get ready. >> bill: you have your work cut out for you, men, thank you for your time.

appreciate that. >> dana: speaking about the word chaos, so remember the afghan withdrawal and we described that as chaos. even the administration described it as chaos. a month ago the national security council at the white house said they didn't see any chaos in afghanistan. now even the president is admitting chaos but they don't want to own it. >> bill: when we were listening to secretary mayokas why isn't the president of the united states giving that same message. now the white house will have mayokas own this thing. we haven't seen kamala harris all week. it was root causes a year ago. that's gone to the wayside now and they've given up on that. el paso, they think they could get 17,000 to 18,000 a day. you've seen it already. we have been showing the video for a month. that's just one town.

>> dana: "wall street journal" said joe biden's immigration calamity. collapse on his border policy is on full display. >> dana: we'll take you through the day as the story develops. we'll have more of it. now this. >> you are going to have millions of people pouring into our country right now at a level that nobody has ever seen before. >> how would you deal with the increasing threat of vladimir putin. >> if i'm president i will have that war settled in 24 hours. >> dana: former president trump striking a defiant tone as a cnn town hall. how the biden campaign is already fundraising off it. >> bill: a major update on the disappearance of natalee holloway 18 years later. peru is allowing the extradition of what is considered to be the prime suspect. how natalee's family is reacting to that move.

t-main suspect in the 2005

disappearance of natalee holloway is being extra dated to the united states. he faces charges of wire fraud and extortion for scamming hollway's family. for those who have forgotten it was a huge story back then and he is back in the news. >> it is a huge case. it has remained an unsolved case but now the family is perhaps getting some closure. the peru government issued an executive order allowing joran vandersloot to be extradited to the u.s. he is the prime suspect in the disappearance of natalee holloway during a graduation trip to aruba after she was seen socializing with him at a popular tourist bar. it will allow van der sloot to face prosecution in the u.s. on

charges of extortion and wire fraud. an alabama grand jury indicted him on the charges in 2010 after he offered to tell holloway's mother where her daughter was buried in exchange for $25,000. a body was never found and although van der sloot is the prime suspect in the young woman's disappearance he hasn't been charged in connection with her death. he is serving a 28 year prison sentence for the murder of a 21-year-old woman he met as a casino in lima and pled guilty in that place in 2012. holloway's mother issued this statement. a long and painful journey but persistence will pay off and we're finally getting justice for natalee. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: what a twist that could be. hold on. new york city mayor eric adams is being shown the political door. no longer an official surrogate for president biden after the president scrapped adams from

his campaign's advisory board after his criticism of biden's handling of the migrant crisis. adams was initially named to the panel in march and he has been outspoken in his views about the busing of migrants. >> dana: i get it. maybe everyone would do that. if you can't take a tiny bit of criticism on something that you are saying a chaotic and admitting to mike lawler where the migrants are going you understand you need to do something. if you can't take a little heat you will kick the mayor of new york off your campaign committee? >> watch the progression on the administration's policy on immigration now. we are moving into another chapter. see what they do. >> dana: trump last night. >> if elected president again what is the first thing you would do to help bring down costs to make things more affordable? >> drill, baby drill. we have more liquid gold under

our feet. these stupid fools ended it. >> dana: he was in his element taking no prisoners in is cnn town hall. he turned it into a free for all but people liked it for the most part. karl rove joins us now. the people who support donald trump really liked it and hadn't seen him in a while and he came out firing. >> yes, he did. and you are right. to the true believers, this was a great evening. they saw their hero. he got to talk about issues that he cared about. what dominated the evening, basically four issues. there was a big consternation over was the 2020 election stolen. he continued to assert it was. a lot of talk about january 6th. he claimed that he had ordered the national guard to the capitol, which has been denied by his secretary of defense and the issue came up of pardons. not helpful for the general election. he said i will pardon a lot of

those people for january 6th. now we will have a continuing questions to him as a candidate are you going to pardon the oath keepers and pardon the proud boys, are you going to pardon people who were found guilty or pled guilty to attacking police officers. the answers won't be helpful. some discussion of ukraine where he said i'll settle it but he couldn't bring himself to say russia was wrong to attack ukraine and that he wanted ukraine to win. the question is going to be last night this was good for the true believers but the election will be decided by independents. donald trump got 7 million fewer votes in 2020 than joe biden did and the question is are any of these issues going to add to his numbers? and my sense is no, they aren't. you know, it is just -- when you have a quarter of republicans saying that the indictment by the manhattan d.a. of him over supposedly falsifying business records, which every legal expert i have talked to says is

bogus, but if a quarter of republicans say it is justified he has a problem inside his base and nothing that he said last night in my mind does much to get him people who voted against him or didn't vote at all in 2020. >> bill: you laid that out pretty well. i have never seen a network denigrate a product it produced like cnn did once the event was over. it went on for hours. a couple things now. at the tail end of the town hall, this is looking forward to the election of 2024. as to whether or not you accept the results. watch. >> if you are the republican nominee and you are in that 2024 race, will you commit tonight to accepting the results of the 2024 election. >> if i think it's an honest election i will. >> will you commit regardless of the outcome. >> if i think it's an honest election i would be honored to. >> that's how that went. a few more questions trying to get him to answer that. the biden team was quick to

respond. they were on social media. do you want four more years of that? if not pitch into our campaign. they had videos rolling out. with regard to the biden team. biden slow start worries democrats, aides insist all is well. okay. now that's the foundation for where we think this campaign might be as of now. how do you grade it? >> yeah, well, team biden is living in la la land. they will nuke donald trump just like barack obama nuked mitt romney every day of the race. only barack obama started in april of 2012. they will start now going after donald trump and they will stay -- their opening video, announcement video opens with footage of january 6th and last

night donald trump basically exposed that is going to be a strategy that will have some pull. he refused to step back from his claims that the election was stolen and he gave them a big opening. you don't think the biden campaign is going to be saying are you going to pardon the proud boys, pardon the oath keepers? what about these people who attacked the police? will you pardon them, too? the answers to those that donald trump gives could have a big impact on the outcome. this is going to be probably the most ugly campaign we've seen in our lifetimes and maybe the most unpredictable. >> dana: that's saying something, karl. >> it is saying something. >> dana: we are glad you're along for the ride as we report on 2024. >> bill: nice to see you. crunch time. title 42 ends hours from now. border communities bracing for what could be a sea of humanity in their towns coming their way up next. also the f.b.i. with an explanation about a subpoena over documents in the hunter

biden investigation. what is the next step? what is that agency's response? congresswoman nancy mace will join us on that in moments. >> i have been accused over this particular issue that we're conspiracy theorists, we're not. we are showing you actual bank records, actual evidence. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ what do we always say, son? liberty mutual customizes your car insurance... so you only pay for what you need. that's my boy. now you get out there, and you make us proud, huh? ♪ bye, uncle limu. ♪ stay off the freeways! only pay for what you need.

>> dana: let's get a live look at the border right now. we're 14 hours away from the end of title 42. t the -- officials are bracing for more than 10,000 per day and that is forcing border towns to declare states of emergency. even president biden admitting it will be chaotic for a while. we're keeping a close eye on this and bring you updates as we get them. >> bill: it's prompting new york city and others to suspend shelter rules as officials struggle to accommodate bus loads of migrants that arrive

every morning. alexis mcadams is watching that story for us today. hello and good morning, alexis. >> good morning. as the president of the united states says it could be chaotic. it could also be chaotic in big cities like new york city where we are now. starting this week officials tell us they expect at least 1,000 migrants to show up in new york city every single day. bill, the city says they don't have anymore space. so mayor eric adams trying to prepare for this has now signed and executive order to suspend some of the city's right to shelter laws. look at the executive order that came in last night. the right to shelter rules in new york guarantee shelter to anyone who needs it. under the new executive order the city will no longer require families to be placed if private rooms with bathrooms and kitchens and suspends the nightly deadline for newly arriving families to be placed in those shelters. a spokesperson says the worst may be yet to come telling us with over 130 emergency sites

and eight humanitarian relief centers already open we've reached our limit and have no other option but to temporarily house recent arrivals in gyms. back live check it out. this is in manhattan in new york city, an nypd training facility full of migrants. weapons and officers are inside but now they have to house these migrants. look on the screen. these are the cops. we have pictures of this from the nypd sources we have telling us this is what it looks like inside as nearly 200 migrants and counting are staying there. nypd officers running security at the shelter to make sure none of the migrants enter the active shooting range or storage unit. the city is calling the influx an emergency and says they are out of options. >> we knew we would see a surge after title 42 was lifted this friday. but it happened sooner. and so the old police academy was the most viable option for

us to provide the emergency shelter. >> so running out of options. all options are on the table according to the city. even putting migrants in tents, small homes on city streets or migrants lined up sleeping in central park. >> thanks, more to come on that certainly from yesterday also. check it out. >> the bidens have received millions of dollars from china. it is inconceivable that the president did not know it. >> it was intentionally made to be complicated so you could not follow the money. we're trying to show you how to follow the money. >> bill: that was yesterday. now today republicans accuse of f.b.i. of flying cover for the bidens. they were supposed to comply with a subpoena that may contain a document with a possible criminal scheme that involves the president and multiple members of his family. nancy mace, you saw her, back with us now. thank you for coming back.

i want to try to advance the story. the f.b.i. came out with a statement with regard to this alleged document saying it was unverified and since it was unverified, they don't want to establish its credibility or quote weigh it against other information verified by the f.b.i. where do you stand on that as of now, congresswoman? >> well, i have one message for the f.b.i.'s christopher wray. this is just -- i'm looking at you, mr. wray, this is just the tip of the iceberg. man up and do your job. what we've tried to show through bank records the biden family has been playing a shell game with millions of dollars from our adversaries including china and the f.b.i. is playing a shell game that will prove it was happen. the american people don't trust the federal government for a reason. i don't care if you have an r or d by your name these things should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law.

>> "politico"'s headline. without showing link to president and here is jamie raskin, democrat also on the oversight committee saying there is no ties to the president. watch here. >> we haven't seen anything that touches president biden. there is obviously a lot about hunter biden, allegations about other members of the family, but i haven't seen anything that really connects to president biden. i understand the nature of the game here. i just don't think they've laid a glove on president biden. >> bill: what your committee laid out was allegedly 20 different llcs used in a personal way and business way, money going here and there. but you heard the claim from democrats and many others. as we try to advance the story. what can we expect next from your committee? where is this going? >> you'll continue to see us investigate and have more updates like the press conference yesterday. everyone wants to say there is

no connection to the president. we have debunked many of the lies told. we were told the laptop was fake. it was not. we were told that joe biden this didn't happen while he was vice president. it did. reproved that with romania yesterday. the democrats want to say it doesn't have anything to do with president biden. this is his family tree including a grandchild and nieces and nephews likely innocent collateral damage and have nothing to do with this. but the millions of dollars and the shell companies being moved around and the access they had to the president and vice president. this is the most corrupt scheme in american politics and it ought to be investigated to the fullest extent of the law and the left has said for years well no one is above the law. prove it. put your money where your mouth is. >> bill: no date on the next update. >> we're still working through the documents yesterday with bank records. that was four of a dozen banks we're investigating bank records

on. there is a lot more still yet. >> bill: thank you for your time. we shall wait. >> dana: president biden hitting the campaign trail to make a case to raise the debt ceiling. can he sway moderate republicans? he was-in-law -- congress is set to debate on a $1 trillion farm bill. two republicans say the president is failing farmers and they join us next. >> we have had to sell to make ends meet and it's just not working. in the end, i'm no longer being able to do my dream. great. taking the shawl off. ok i did it. is he looking at my hairline? is plaque psoriasis making you rethink your everyday choices? otezla is a pill, not a cream or injection that can help people with plaque psoriasis achieve clearer skin. and no routine blood tests required.

don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. serious allergic reactions can happen. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. some people taking otezla had depression, suicidal thoughts, or weight loss. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. doctors have been prescribing otezla for over 8 years. don't hesitate. ask your doctor about otezla today. if you're the spouse of a military veteran, i want you to know something. your spouse has earned the right to apply for a va home loan. a va home loan is unique. it's different than other loans because it allows you to borrow up to 100% of the home's value. that extra borrowing power may allow you to pay down debt, lower your monthly payments, put cash in the bank, and give you the peace of mind that every veteran deserves.

bill. farmers across the country say the president's policies are failing them. our next guest represent districts home to some of the country's most vital farmland. from iowa and kansas. a headline from you on foxnews.com is biden's quiet attack on rural america smells just as bad as manure. biden's bureaucracy will use the rule talking about the water rule to bully american farmers. overall as you get into this farm bill, how is rural america feeling, congressman, start with you, about their lot in life right now? >> i tell you what, president biden has absolutely turned his back against the american farmer. he has seen this in the state of the union address. he never mentioned the american farmer once. we also seen this in his budget proposal that he created $5 trillion of new taxes on the

backs of the american farmer. by the way, that's a $50 trillion increase in the debt with the new budget. we have seen this in the regulatory environment with waters in the u.s. to regulate all the farmland in america. we saw this also with energy policy, the green new deal provisions and buying oil from china, venezuela and saudi arabia instead of buying bio fuels from the american farmer in the midwest. it has been a complete disaster from this president and we're hurting in rural america and as farmers. >> dana: the farm bill is a monster, huge bill that has a lot to do with farming and a lot that has nothing to do with farming. it will be very controversial. how are republicans positioning themselves to make our case. >> we have to make sure the farm bill works for rural america. the biden administration continues to be at war with rural america and make sure the

farm bill reflects true american values. right now it never ends. the lesser purchasing regulations and war on liquid fuels. all these things. the biden administration we ought to thank our ag producers, not punishing them. it makes no sense and we have to make sure the farm bill works for our producers and rural america. >> dana: let's look at some of the costs. not only affect farmers but what affects farmers affects the rest of us. april ppi report. inflation number at 2.3% year-over-year, right? that adds up certainly for you and passed on to consumers as it has to be. farmers fighting inflation saying livestock and poultry expenses are forecast to rise by 4.8 billion or 13.6%. what could be done in this farm bill that would try to bring those costs down?

you have proposals for that that the president could consider? >> absolutely. this is the big thing. inflation, the cost of inputs. our farmers are putting in crops in the ground and the cost of fertilizer, the cost of the seed going into the ground and this is the problem, all right? so there is significant cost. it gets passed on to the consumer and hoping the producer makes a little profit or if you have a drought it is catastrophic. this is what the farm bill does creates a safety net with insurance programs, which is so important. creates conservation programs to protect our waterways instead of having it overregulated by waters of the u.s. things we can do voluntarily instead of having the government put their thumb on us to mandate all these things and that's what we try to do in the farm bill help the farming community make sure they are successful. when they're successful the rest of the nation is successful. >> dana: let me finish with you, congressman. you are from kansas and your

buddy from iowa. biden approval in iowa, this is in a recent poll, his disapproval at 64%. two years ago it was at 44%. so disapproval within rural america is growingment how is it in kansas? >> similar numbers. i ask myself who is the 36% think biden is doing a good job. when you wage war on american farmers you'll be unpopular in farm country as you should be and we should encourage these people working to feed, fuel and clothe all of us. >> dana: the farm bill also deals with the snap benefits or welfare benefits and the work requirements that will go into that. i promise i would cover the farm bill. we're going to. it is a monster of a bill. thank you for telling us about your point of view. >> thanks, dana. >> dana: take care.
