on the terror watch list. up nearly a 50% increase from last year. >> it's just one facet of the border crisis. the number of families coming across hit an all time high last month. cities like new york and chicago struggling to find beds for them. republicans say things will only get worse before they get better. >> this is what happens when you open the border and have the mass waves of people coming and cartels are able to exploit it. this is -- there will be more. the numbers go down when the summer gets really hot but the numbers are back up and they are coming into the united states. >> dana: a disturbing report from the u.n. migration agency now finds the u.s./mexico border is the world's deadliest land migration route. not a designation we should be proud of. bill melugin is live in mission, texas. good morning, bill. >> good morning to you. the numbers are absolutely skyrocketing down here at our

southern border. cbp sources telling me the last three days in a row border patrol has apprehended more than 7,000 illegal immigrants per day with the tucson, arizona sector being the busiest. we want to show you what's going on there. look at these images out of arizona yesterday afternoon. what you are looking at is a border patrol outdoor holding facility using chain link fences with migrants crammed in there. what's happening in the tucson sector is they are completely overwhelmed right now. cbp facilities are over capacity. migrants have to be held in the outdoor facilities courtesy of an ice field director giving images to fox news yesterday afternoon. border patrol can't keep up with the amount of people crossing in that sector now. more than 2,000 per day the last three days in a row in the tucson sector. you can see the result of that. we want to show you why it's so busy. take a look at these images.

our cameraman in lukeville, arizona yesterday showing a non-stop flow of people crossing into our country illegally. as you can see, a lot of them are single adults. a lot of single adult men from africa coming in. a lot from senegal, ghana, sudan, guys from india, others from asia. walking into the country illegally giving themselves up and they have got little to no fear of deportation. the border patrol union tells us the cartels control all of this. they are telling these migrants when and where to cross. >> while these large groups are being apprehended in these areas, further away they are bringing in narcotics, individuals that cannot be apprehended that are aggravated felons and possible terrorists type individuals. >> meanwhile, take a look at this drone video our team shot in eagle pass. what you are looking at is

non-stop illegal crossings out there as well with little to no resistance on the u.s. side. we continue to see the illegal immigrants coming into the country in broad daylight very brazenly. unfortunately a 10-year-old girl drowned there yesterday. lastly one last piece of video to show you in eagle pass. not everybody is looking to give themselves up. a group of evaders come through the barbed wire in front of the texas national guard and run into the brush and they disappeared. they're known as gotaways. there have been over 1.5 million known gotaways at our southern border since president biden took office. that's according to cbp sources. that is a population size that could fill up 16 rose bowls. send it back to you. >> dana: thank you, bill melugin. >> how confident are you that there will be no evidence to

incriminate president biden? >> what are we doing to improve their lives, work on the economy? these are real issues, real priorities. >> is vice president kamala harris the best running mate for this president? >> he thinks so. that's what matters. >> do you think she is the best running mate, though? >> she is the vice president of the united states. people say to me why isn't she doing this? she is the vice president. that's the job description. you don't do that much. [shouted questions] >> bill: all that in the last 24 hours and more. the white house trying to project confidence amid growing concerns over the president's age and electability. those worries appear to get traction in the mainstream media. karl rove here to analyze. a few questions about hunter biden, the president pushing back.

time for the media to -- let's get to that in a moment. what do you make of the past 24 hours with the calls from the left for joe biden to not seek a second term? >> look, we've seen a plethora of polls that have indicated that basically three out of every four americans think he is too old to run again including a substantial number of democrats. two out of every three americans think he is mentally not up to the job as one recent poll had it. i've been talking about this for a while. last august i went on jess watters and said i don't think he will end up being the democratic nominee. this will only grow. time is not his friend. he is not going to get better. we'll have more instances like the hanoi news conference that was horrifying in the months ahead because he is getting older and not stronger. >> dana: also it is remarkable those calls for him to step aside are coming from people

like david ignatius. hillary clinton this morning says she is all in on biden. you have a split amongst the democratic establishment. >> look, you have jim mass ena and others saying publicly this will be okay, everything is going to be fine. it is not going to be fine. again, think about that. two out of every three americans say he is mentally not up to the job. three out of every four say he is too old already and he will get older. he will turn 81 later this year. nearly 82 by the time of the 2024 election. people are not going to wake up and say you know what? he is showing a lot more pepp and being more focused and disciplined. a lot sharper. i feel much better than i did six months ago. this is a decline. once you get in a period of physical decline it is hard to reverse it. >> bill: topic two. the memo that went out to media organizations, it's time for the media to do more to scrutinize

house republicans. the effort is now underway for this impeachment inquiry. see where it goes and how long it takes. what are the questions that you have regarding this? >> well first of all, i thought this was extraordinary. it is like maybe you say those things in private over cocktails in some georgetown bar to some friend in the media. but to send out a memo saying you in the media need to go over and scrutinize the republicans. that just is over the top. it is not going to help the credibility of the white house or the credibility of the media. i bet there are a lot of people even in the media left of center who say i'm not going to be dictated to by the white house. and they said deal with the lies. what kind of lies? the millions of dollars that hunter biden got from foreign entities, his work in ukraine and china. is that a lie? we know he got $11 million between 2015 and 2018. his trips on air force two and having meetings with clients and

potential clients and having his dad drop in when he was vice president. dinner in d.c. where the then vice president shows up with maybe russia oligarchs. saying on a telephone conversation dad wants to know where the money is. i got him in the next room. the president dragging his son in the midst of all these scandals to state dinners and having him travel with him on air force one. where are the lies in that? what gets me is this. think about this. this is president biden on the 16th of october, 2019. i have never discussed with my son anything to do with what was going on in ukraine. really? i have two questions. why not? you were the vice president of the united states in charge of the u.s. policy to encourage ukraine to crack down on corruption. and your son is on the board of a corrupt ukrainian company. why didn't you talk to him and more importantly, did anybody in the obama white house raise the

issue of hunter biden being on the board of burisma and the problems that this created? the problems of which were printed on the front page of the "new york times" when biden went to ukraine. what is your son doing these anti-corruption activist on the board of a corrupt company. the president obama raise it or susan rise raise the issue? we've never had these questions asked and answered. interesting if the obama white house turned a blind eye to hunter biden's corruption by being on the board of burisma. >> bill: all questions legitimate ones that we'll wait to see whether we get answers, if ever. >> dana: i like when you can wind karl up and let him go. great to have you, thank you so much, karl. with the clock ticking down to a midnight deadline the united auto workers union is gearing up

for an unprecedented strike. a stand off over heyer wages and benefits. the ripple effects would be felt nationwide if they go on strike. grady trimble is live in detroit. >> good morning, dana. the united auto workers union claims the offers the detroit three automakers have made so far are completely unacceptable. the uaw has some steep demands including a 40% pay bump over the four years of this new contract. in addition to cost of living increases. a 32-hour work week and other changes to health insurance and pension benefits. without a deal at midnight tonight the uaw says it is ready to strike but only at certain plants. >> we will strike all three companies, a historic first. initially at a limited number of targeted locations that we'll be

announcing. then based on what is happening in bargaining, we will announce more locals that will be called to stand up and strike. >> ford, general motors and jeep and chrysler parent company say they've been negotiating in good faith. some of them say the uaw is ghosting them by not making counteroffers. ford geo says when he went to the bargain table early whyer this week uaw president no showed. he went on to say if there is a strike it's not because ford didn't make a great offer. we should work to solve hard problems rather than planning strikes and p.r. events. unless there is an agreement today, the uaw will announce tonight the specific plans that workers will walk out of. at this point it's looking almost inevitable there will be a strike at least one of the

detroit three automakers that could cost the economy billions. guys. >> dana: thank you for that update. we'll pay attention as the day goes on. >> the consequences of ai going wrong are severe. so we have to be proactive rather than reactive. >> dana: elon musk in d.c. yesterday for a senate forum on a.i. what they talked about. why it was closed to the public. >> bill: why? the president is banking on bidenomics to win a second term. new numbers show inflation on the rise yet again. dana, this is a sticky wicket. how will his campaign spin that coming up? >> dana: a police dog playing a key role in the captured of the escaped killer in pennsylvania. lawrence jones is here with his dog who has the same training to tell us all about it. ♪

tanks in many states are paying more than $4 a gallon. this afternoon the president will talk about the economy. going to a community college in maryland and expected to criticize his predecessor and trickle down economics. the white house says this speech is geared towards americans who are wondering when prices will go down. >> the american people are going to hear from the president about an issue that matters to them which is the economy and how he continues to make sure he is doing everything he can to lower costs for the american people. >> but will people buy it given some of the new government data we talked about? house old incomes and poverty rate going up this rate compared to a year ago under biden's watch. "wall street journal" says the data tells the real story of bidenomics. a gusher of unnecessary social welfare spending helped produce to highest inflation in 40 years making americans poorer. gop leaders are echoing those concerns. >> the numbers do not lie.

bidenomics may be working, but it is working against working americans. >> the white house still facing a lot of different questions about its future economic plans. also as you guys talked about, a lot of questions whether or not the president deserves the democratic challenger going into next year. the white house says it is focused on the job at hand. >> bill: that story won't go away. nice to see you from the north lawn, mark meredith, thank you. >> yes, he had the firearm with him. yes, he was a threat. i believe the canine played a large role in him not being able to utilize that firearm. >> dana: pennsylvania state police giving credit to a police canine for playing a huge role in capturing an escaped inmate. here is lawrence jones, host of cross-country and cross nation. "fox & friends" co-host, yes,

nala his doing has the same training at yesterday's canine hearing. you got your certification to do that. tell us what you thought about when this happened yesterday. >> i was definitely proud. when they first released the statement they said it was a gray round. that was definitely a maliwa. the unit was great. they first came to prominence during the uvalde thing. they were the federal law enforcement that went to neutralize the target there. the wren why they were important and not just the capability of the canine like nala was, they have the experience to go into the terrain and that brush. your typical swat unit don't have that capability. there is no need for it unless you are in the state troopers.

these operators that are civilians did their job yesterday. stayed on the target for a while and set the dog after him. >> dana: without him firing a shot or them having to fire a shot. >> listen, this is new disrespect to the rank and file law enforcement. but these guys go through these scenarios over and over again. they waited him out. it came to 1:00 a.m. and sat in the brush with him. gave him the command to come out and then you give the dog to command to go after him and as the dog was trained, pinned him down until they were able to -- >> bill: in this case he bit cavalcante's scalp. as the cop yesterday explained this, it is a wound that bleeds easily but heals easily, too and why you saw the blood on his face. are they trained to do that? >> these dogs are different from

the shepherds. if you have a german shepard they will lock down straight on the target. the others are lean and smart. if you change hands, the dog will go to that hand. if you try to helped butt them they'll go for the head. they don't just lock down on the target. the threat is what they'll go for. >> let's talk about you for a moment. it has been such a pleasure to know you for so many years and especially when you first started filling in on "the five", i love to tease you. >> it was your idea. >> dana: you were right to praising the team on "fox & friends." you'll be a co-host on "fox & friends" every day. >> honor of a lifetime. fox has given me opportunity to grow starting at 20 years old and working my way up and people like you and bill and sean hannity, who has been an incredible mentor to me, it is a dream come true to join as a

murders of his wife and son. what is happening today is a status hearing for a separate trial on his alleged financial crimes. the disgraced low country lawyer is accused of stealing millions of dollars from friends, colleagues and clients. most notably the family of his long time housekeeper who died from injuries in a fall on the murdaugh family property. former attorney fleming who pleaded guilty to 23 state charges in connection with his role in murdaugh's alleged financial schemes will be sentenced today. >> it's very risky what corey is doing. do not underestimate that. you are leaving the sentence to the total discretion of judge newman, who has already said that what has been done has been a stain on our state and a stain on our profession. >> murdaugh is challenging his march 2nd double murder

convictions with allegations the clerk of court tried to influence the jury's decision. even as he awaits a state trial on financial charges, murdaugh is expected to change his not guilty pleas to federal financial crimes at a u.s. district court hearing on september 21st. attorney bland speculates murdaugh believes what ever happens in which is murder conviction he will be spending the rest of his life behind bars and merely trying to get out of state prison for a potentially more comfortable federal prison. dana. >> dana: jonathan serrie keeping it straight for us. >> bill: the attorney for the family of murdaugh's late housekeeper. she died at the age of 57. sir, good morning to you. this is a bit of a mind bender. i think it is for you as well. how did this housekeeper die

inside alex murdaugh's home? was that ever official and finalized? >> yes, as best we know. we know she died from a fall down the stairs. we know she died from blunt head trauma as a result of the fall. the big debate is what caused the fall. so the fall -- if it was a fraud that alex set up was to claim his dogs caused her fall. if that were true it would mean there would be a real claim against his homeowner's insurance policy that provided $5 million of coverage for this house and create a vehicle for him to make a claim technically against himself and then collect the money which he stole. so it is still debatable whether the dogs caused the fall or not. we know of no contrary evidence. that's at the heart of the matter is what caused the fall? >> dana: the family, were they immediately suspicious about the death? >> no, there would be no reason to be suspicious of the death.

gloria was practically a murdaugh. she raised murdaugh's children. she raised paul and buster. she was integral to the family. she was proud of seeing herself as an extension of the murdaughs. so they saw themselves, as an extension of the murdaugh family. no reason to be suspicious about anything. >> bill: why is this still a question? because her family was awarded 7 1/2 million dollars, all right, over the payments that were stolen by murdaugh. so what is still to be debated on this? >> i don't think there is anything to be debated. this is alex murdaugh world. in his world he continuously tries to rewrite history. after confessing that his dogs caused the fall, after recovering the money, after stealing it, after even confessing judgment to the family for the money that he

stole, he tried to reinvent the story to create a grounds to recover back from the family the money that they gathered from other sources. again, this is murdaugh logic. so in murdaugh world, if i lied about the cause of the fall, there never should have been a claim in the first place. never should have been a payment of $4.3 million and there would never have been money for me to steal. somehow in his mind, that squares his financial crimes but it defies all common sense and at the end of the day in legal claims that lack common sense don't go very far. these claims didn't go far as well. >> dana: what would a successful outcome of this look like to you? >> for the family that he be convicted on all the financial crimes. i think now it's all the more important we have that back stop because there is a real threat, if there was malfeasance with the jury in the murder case,

that's a threat to that conviction. it is all the more important to the satterfield's and the state of south carolina that these financial crime convictions take place so that we have that solid back stop even if there was something untoward that happened in the murder case. >> bill: back in march when the conviction came down from that jury, deliberated for three hours. a lot of people thought this case was decided and apparently it is not, is it? >> it really is not. the most recent matter filed by murdaugh, i have to say is a serious matter. if it is true that the madam clerk herself entered that jury room and influenced the jurors in their deliberations about alex or his testimony that would be highly improper and it would be grounds for a new trial. that's a matter to be determined by the court. but it is a very serious matter that warrants investigation. so again, all the more important that we proceed with all due

haste with the conviction on the financial crimes so we know we have that back stop. >> bill: his attorneys will be in that courtroom today pushing hard on this and see whether or not -- >> dana: a good point you make about the need to get this one done for the family in case the other one does fall apart. thank you so much for being here. >> yes. thank you. >> thank you for your time. reminder on fox nation right now. steam martha maccallum's exclusive interview with buster murdaugh. she spent the entire day with him in south carolina. a fascinating watch. check it out right now streaming online at fox nation. another case we're watching right now from idaho. brian kohberger back in the courtroom yesterday. the idaho judge residing over the case calling out the media for its coverage so far of that trial. >> you can't tilt the case one way or the other. we don't want that because

that's not based on evidence. that is not based on rules of the court. and it can get out of control. >> bill: in the state of idaho, they are fairly liberal on the laws of allowing cameras in the courtroom like the south carolina deal. but family members of the victims are pushing for that trial to be on television saying that kohberger does not deserve the privacy. the next hearing is set for the 22nd of september. let you know what happens then. stay tuned. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: so don't count him out for good. aaron rodgers making his first comments after his season-ending injury posting on instagram, i will try to get back to you soon. i'm heartbroken and moving through all the emotions. i shall rise yet again. so the 39-year-old tore his left achilles tendon minutes into his team's opener monday night against the bills. i read something about the turf being very bad there.

is that true? >> bill: it can be. a debate that has been going on for decades. metlife stadium gets a ton of use. the giants play there, the jets play there. they have major concerts there as well. it is an open roof so it doesn't get protection from the elements outside. look, the players union and nfl want to play on grass. you will hear this debate pop up again. aaron rodgers said the night is darkest before the dawn. he would know. he spent four days on the west coast to made his decision to play for the jets. 39. we would like to see him come back. hurricane lee is now moving toward the northeast. still a powerful storm. tell you which areas of the country could be hit the hardest this weekend. a community taking action to improve rail safety after a devastating derailment.

bagel. nobody will notice. this is the opposite problem. but the arrogance. it is quite amazing. this is what comes when they try to force things too fast. everything else do you remember -- reminds me what happened with obamacare. if something is good. if an invention or technology is worthwhile, it will catch on like the segue. everyone is driving in segue ways now, right? >> whoops. >> dana: electric scooters. >> the thing is when they try to force them. another good example. some cities say we're converting to electric scooters. they are lying all over the streets. the same thing with e.v.s. i think e.v.s could work. teslas are great. a friend has two. it is saving him money on gas bills but the problem is when they try to convert everything over just like they did with obamacare, the whole thing. it won't work unless everyone is covered so everyone has to join it and nobody wants to do it.

>> bill: j.d. power did a study. 20% of the government's charging stations failed. only 4% of tesla failed. elon musk will get the contract for all of these eventually. >> his stuff works. people are happy with it. a lot of people aren't happy with solar panels but love the tesla solar wall in their home. the guy knows how to run a company and it's high quality. if you don't want a tesla, don't get one. i love my gas-powered car. i have a nice light car. don't use much gas. let people make their own choices. >> dana: let the market figure it out. joni ernst reacted to the debacle. if the biden administration can't make it from charlotte to memphis without an incident how do they want to transition our military to electric by 2030. it's a road to nowhere. a new rule that will be nationwide that semi trucks need to be converted to electric. they won't be able to drive as

far. it will take them six hours to charge up which means you won't get your amazon packages in time. >> dana: i don't think -- these charging stations, what a nightmare. you have to sit and wait and it's really fast, they say. i see people with e.v.s. if you want one, that's fine. they like to drive it into their driveway, plug it into their home and then they get ready for a nice long charging session. but the idea they think they will convert this whole country and we'll all charge up like the jettisons? >> it's a government operation, what could possibly go wrong? you say live by the stunt and die by the stunt. buttigieg had the big deal of the white house and drove up in a black suv and got his bike out of the back to finish the final yards on his bike. >> this whole thing was a you stunt to get press. she is driving around look what e.v.s can do and realize what they can't do. her staff, poor them. they are afraid of her.

they say block the e.v. station because we have to charge and get in here and do our press conference. >> dana: a quick look at the board. electric vehicle average cost $64,338. gas powered car $26,000. it is busting the myth this is all available right now. maybe the country will get there but they are pushing it too far too fast. americans don't like it. >> don't force it. >> dana: great to have you. >> bill: tom shillue in studio. school districts nationwide are adopting equitable grading to eliminate what they see as bias. >> dana: what is that? >> what is equitable grading? why concerned parents say the new trend fails to get students ready for the real world. a look at that and how can you achieve happiness? arthur brooks and oprah teaming up on a book about building the life that you want. ♪
