to share with you this morning. our boss, rupert murdoch is transitioning from fox corporation. in a note to employees he has decided in november he will move to the role of chairman at fox corp. his son will be the sole chair of both companies. in his note he says for his entire professional life he has been, quote, engaged daily with news and ideas and that will not change. and he says he will still be an active member of the fox community. reaching out with thoughts and ideas and advice as he does every day. he goes on to say, quote, our companies are in robust health, as many i. our opportunities exceed our commercial challenges. we have every reason to be optimistic about the coming years. i certainly am and plan to be here to participate in them. but the battle for the freedom of speech and ultimately the

freedom of thought, he continues, has never been more intense. my father firmly believed in freedom. my son is committed to the cause. in a news release today he congratulated his father on his 70 year career in media. thank him for his vision and pioneering spirit. steadfast determination and enduring legacy he leaves at the companies he founded and countless people he has impacted. we would like to add our gratitude as well. rupert murdoch created all of this and so much more across america and the globe. his life's work has left an indelible imprint on the global media landscape. contributions are extraordinary and we thank him for letting us be a part of it all. thank you, rupert, and congratulations. >> dana: indeed. without him we would not be here. >> bill: true on that.

>> dana: we thank him for that. the point about his being in robust health and robust with ideas, we can attest to that. >> bill: you are right. always great to see him in the hallway and say what's on your mind? he always has something to share with you or a question about what's happening in the news. some of my favorite moments that rupert has done in america when he bought the fox broadcast corporation, made the big bid on the nfl contract. changed his company in a lot of ways. the day he introduced the "wall street journal" on the ipad with steve jobs and seeing him in the hallway and catching his ideas at the moment. >> dana: we had a quick meeting and i said i read the "wall street journal." he said you like the columns? tell me a day of the week and i'll tell you which columnist you have. we bonded over that. congratulations to him and his son who is steadfast in all of

this. >> not stepping aside. just a transition. we're excited. four minutes past the hour. let's get to this. they're overrun and underfunded. a texas border town is begging for help. fox cameras captured this. more than 3,000 migrants crossing into eagle pass yesterday in the span of only two hours. it's the latest in a surge that prompts the town's democratic mayor to declare a state of emergency and call out the president. >> eagle pass is a city of 30,000 people. we cannot sustain this flow. we need help. we need it now. we need people from the top. i'm talking from our president, vice president, we're scared to go outside. we can't walk anymore. random people are walking the streets. >> bill: you were there yesterday, bill. what's happening today? >> bill, some breaking news this

morning. government sources telling me that yesterday alone cbp encountered more than 10,000 migrants at our southern border. that means we're back to those all-time record high levels we last saw in may in the days leading up to the end of title 42. 10,000 in one day driven by what happened here in eagle pass. new video for the viewers. look at this drone video from our contact in mexico showing the perspective from the mexican side of the river as the mass illegal crossing took place yesterday. over 3,000 people crossed illegally here in eagle pass in a span of two hours predominantly single adults, mostly men from venezuela. there was 0 resistance on the mexican side of the river despite their national guard and police posted there. the small city of eagle pass is overrun and texas governor greg abbott is pointing the finger at the federal government. look at this video he tweeted yesterday showing what he says

are border patrol agents cutting and removing the razor wire that he and the state of texas deployed at the edge of the river. you can see them cutting it. this is what led in part to that mass rush of illegal immigrants coming into eagle pass yesterday. he says they let migrants into the country and that's when this big flow started. he tweeted in part, quote, texas installed razor wire in eagle pass to stop illegal crossings. today the biden administration cut that wire opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants. i immediately deployed more texas national guard to repel illegal crossings and install more razor wire. dhs officials tell fox news they have no comment in response to what the governor tweeted there. one piece of video to show you. the juxtaposition and legal and illegal entry. top of the bridge migrants pennsylvania rolled through the cbp1 up and under illegally. they switched to photos of a major fentanyl bust.

back to that video. legal on top. illegal on bottom. biden administration wanted people to come through the ports of entry on top. the majority are deciding to cross illegally in the river below. live some tragic news, a 3-year-old boy drowned in the river behind us in the eagle pass. texas dps confirming they recovered his body. >> bill: we'll see what we get today. >> dana: joining us now is the texas speaker of the house and owns a ranch on the border. thank you for being here today and we grieve for that young little boy but we are worried there is more out there. yesterday governor abbott claimed the biden administration is cutting razor wire at the border. texas installed the wire in eagle pass to stop illegal crossings. they cut the wire and opening the flood gates and i deployed more national guard to install

more razor wire. bill melugin earlier this week showed migrant children crawling through razor wire. there is a five alarm fire going on at the border. your thoughts this morning. >> thank you for having me. you are 100% correct. here in texas we feel like we're at war with our own government and they are doing nothing to help us. the governor and his operation lone star and everything the texas legislature has done is a direct result of the failures in washington, d.c. since i've been elected we've spent $12 billion on texas taxpayer money. i've been to d.c. asking for that money back and go back again and we want to be reimbursed and want a secure border. you heard the mayor of eagle pass in his own words. they can't sustain this. this is an all-out crisis on the southern border. >> bill: 12 billion is

staggering. they're talking about new york city spending $10 billion over the next 12 to 18 months. you had a democratic mayor on the border yesterday call out the white house. do you believe if more democrats along the border mention joe biden by name and did something that he did, something similar, that anything would change? >> i don't see anything changing until we get a new president who takes the border serious. they come down for photo ops in areas of tower 1200 mile border that are secure. have the infrastructure to repel this massive wave of immigrants. they all go down to the del rio sector where you mentioned my family has had property for a couple of decades. they don't go to the del rio sector where human tear and legal and constitutional crisis. tens of thousands of people are coming over every day. nowhere to put them, house them

or feed them eagle pass or del rio. this is a day in the life. i'm telling you, it's going to become a problem for them politically. if you look in south texas in the texas house we picked up three seats in south texas, flipped from democrat to republican. people are fed up down there. they want to play in their backyard without worrying about 5 or 6 migrants running across their property. it is a real crisis. they will pay for it. >> bill: it has to be remarkably frustrated. when you say nothing changes with this administration, that's the reality that should be unacceptable. >> dana: the "new york post" cover shows the chaos and you are called anarchy. that's one of the things that i think is interesting about what you are dealing with on the border, it is starting to happen in other places including new york city. in addition to that you have this lethal fentanyl bust at the border, 110 pounds seized in the rio grande valley.

two milligrams is enough to kill someone. now we talk about 400 milligrams per pound of fentanyl. this country feels like it is under attack and i wonder what you can say about how the number of migrants and this fentanyl has changed things for texas, which might foretell what could happen in other places in the country. >> we're at the front lines here. we're trying to secure 1200 miles of border that the biden administration refuses to pay attention to. they have blood on their hands. they come here to see the border, get the photo ops, go to places that are secure. they don't go to where we're seeing this on the ground in these small communities across south texas. and it's fentanyl, illegal crossings, also human smuggling. there are human beings being smuggled across our border by cartels on a daily basis, it is not difficult to do this. pay attention and the biden

administration refused to do it the last two years. del rio sector looks like a demilitarized zone. you can't get a hotel room in these communities they're full of dps and the national guard and parks and wildlife. it is expensive and offensive. $12 billion i could deploy to infrastructure or property tax reduction but instead we're doing what the federal government refuses to do. >> bill: you need a lot more than luck. thank you for sharing your experience with us today. >> thank you for having me on. appreciate you all. >> dana: political news now. support for 2024 ron desantis plummeting in new hampshire. he is fifth with 10% support. president trump leads the pack with 39% and followed by ramaswamy and 13 and haley at 12. chris christie 11. support for desantis is down 32

percentage points from january and iowa numbers not dissimilar. >> he can change that if he does well in iowa come january. i think the nikki haley numbers since the debate are telling. >> dana: the next one -- the first one they introduced themselves to anybody. this one the rubber meets the road. all those candidates need a break-out moment. it will be something to watch september 27th, next wednesday at 9:00 p.m. eastern on fox business and here on the fox news channel with our partner uni vision. >> bill: you have this. a manhunt underway. murder suspect mistakenly released from a jail in indiana. mike tobin has it from the midwest bureau. >> another manhunt that has been underway for a week. public was not informed this time around and this time as you mentioned there wasn't a dramatic jail break. there was a clerical error that allowed this suspected murderer

to walk right out the door of the marion county adult correction center. 28-year-old kevin mason was arrested september 11th for a murder in minnesota. two days later clerks on poked the indiana and minnesota sides lifted the orders that mason be held thinking they had duplicate paperwork. he was released. police say he had help from a girlfriend who picked him up. she did shopping at wal-mart for men's essentials and bought a burner cell phone. she is not cooperating and has been arrested. they didn't go public for a tactical advantage following the girlfriend. they believe wherever mason is now he is getting some help. >> our plan is to look throughout the city with this uniform presence and make it uncomfortable for anybody who might be keeping him. if somebody wants to get him out of their house, happy to sit him on the front porch and we'll come by. we won't knock the way we usually do if we come by.

>> bill: the murder back in 2021 started as a fight outside of a church according to fox nine in minneapolis. when the fight was over, mason opened fire on the individual with whom he was fighting. police think he is good at evading capture. he has been evading since 2021. >> bill: we'll watch it with you. mike tobin in chicago. democratic senator john fetterman is in the news taking jabs at republicans saying he will wear a suit in the senate under one condition. >> dana: can't wait. all right. more trouble for ftx co-founder sam bankman-fried. his father and democratic dark money. >> i have heard young leaders talk with me about a term they've coined called climate anxiety, right? which is fear of the future and the unknown. >> i think i'm all right. i don't have climate anxiety. >> i don't immediate climate

anxiety. >> bill: the vp is saying something else that prevents young people from buying a home and having kids. well maria b has heard about that and she is up next. >> dana: she has a strong walk-on game. ♪ i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks! uuuhhhh... here, i'll take that! woohoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar. enter the $10,000 powered by protein max challenge. ♪ ♪ veterans, if you're applying for a home loan to get cash...surprise. some lenders charge hundreds upfront for your appraisal and other fees. not at newday. a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money.

>> bill: 22 past now. major news out of saudi arabia. our own bret baier sitting down with the saudi crown prince about many topics. the defact owe leader not pulling punches in this interview opening up on many hot button topics. he chose to do it in english. jacque heinrich live with more and the fallout from this. good morning. >> good morning, bill. although u.s. intelligence agencies believe the crown prince approved khashoggi's killing, mbs has sought to raise his own profile and also his country's influence across the globe and said he is reforming the country -- kingdom's security system to avoid mistakes like this in the future adding everyone involved in this killing is serving jail time. although mbs claimed he has made some success in those reforms he

acknowledged the saudi court sentenced a man to death over his online posts in is a crack down. he blamed laws on the books. >> i cannot tell the judge that do that and ignore the law. that's against the rule of law. >> do you think that guy will get killed for the post? >> well, i believe there are a few steps in the trials and i am hoping that the next phase of trials the judge there is more experienced and they might look at it totally different. >> another big headline mbs vowed if iran gets a nuclear weapons the saudis will have to as well. uranium enrichment reportedly for the nuclear power plant. >> are you concerned iran gets a nuclear weapon about them getting one? >> what we are concerned any country getting a nuclear weapon. that's a bad move.

>> if knee get one, will you? >> if they get one, we have to get one. >> the saudis are trying to get the u.s. sign-off on enrichment and u.s. security guarantees. despite reports that talks had broken down earlier this week the israeli prime minister netanyahu and mbs said yesterday in separate events progress is still happening. president biden's focus today is on ukraine. he is welcoming ukrainian president zelensky here to the white house amid an uphill battle on capitol hill to secure future funding for ukraine. >> bill: thank you so much. jacque heinrich from the north lawn. thank you. >> i've heard young leaders talk with me about a term they've coined called climate anxiety. whether it makes sense for you to think about having children, whether it makes sense for you to think about aspiring to buy a home. the clock is not just ticking,

it is banging. >> dana: vice president kamala harris placing the blame or a housing market is climate change. maria bartiromo is here and before we go to you, fox business went out and talked to people on the street to see if they have that type of anxiety. listen to them here. >> the standard of living for millennials is expensive. gen z -- the boomer population, their standard of living was pretty easy. the economy has gone up, inflation has gone up like really a lot. so, you know, a lot of things have been more expensive. >> living in new york city, it is expensive. there is a lot of factors besides climate that go into it. i never factored that in, to be honest with you. >> dana: what do you think? >> nobody has, okay. that's the bottom line. amazing for me to hear kamala

say it with straight face. the policies coming out of this administration have stoked an economy that's questionable, slowing down and a public that is living paycheck to paycheck with sticker shock. people care much more about the fact that mortgage rates are above 7% right now than talking about climate change when they are making decisions in terms of whether or not to buy a house. the reason people have tried to get a mortgage and walked away from it. they do the math and realize their monthly payments are not affordable. they can't buy the home. for her to say that and not even acknowledge the spiking inflation even though it has come way down from the highs and not recognize these are the policies that have taken us here is misleading. >> bill: if you are in your 20s you are used to low interest rates. you don't remember a time when it was 7% or higher. pete buttigieg has put out a

warning about a shut down. >> we estimate there are 3,000 plus more people we need qualified than we have today. even the shutdown lasting a few weeks could set us back by months. we cannot afford that kind of politically driven disruption. >> bill: i don't know if he is right or not. when it comes to government shutdowns we're given warnings the skies will fall. they close the world war ii memorial in washington, d.c. >> it hasn't been that big of a deal. the world isn't coming to an end because of a government shutdown. i don't want to see it. we want work to continue and everybody to get paid and most people will still get paid but the stock market in the past has rallied. so go figure that out. it's interesting to hear pete buttigieg say we can't afford something when the democrats have borrowed $6 trillion over the last 2 1/2 years. we have a budget that calls for

discretionary spending at 1.6 trillion. they spent six. he was mia during the last rail strike. i haven't seen a lot of him during the strike for the automakers. another issue to look at as a result of bad policy. the automakers, employees of the united auto workers may be sticking their necks out too much. 49% raise they want? one of the issues they are talking about is the cost of living. they need more money because of the cost of living. this green agenda and this focus on spending money on green vehicles and electric vehicles, it doesn't seem to match up with the actual demand out there. it actually has massive ripple effects across the economy. >> dana: it is happening in europe, too. interesting phenomenon starting to happen here. the prime minister of the u.k. is likely to say we'll slow our roll on these green energy electric vehicle piece. >> it has forced the federal reserve to raise interest rates.

that hearing. >> dana: maybe next time they'll send people to the border to cover that story. >> bill: a jury in wilmington, delaware unable to reach a verdict after a brutal assault captured on camera for the jury to watch it. surveillance video showing a 68-year-old korean american jewelry store owner being beaten and repeatedly hit in the head with a hammer. the attacker is seen stealing more than $1 hundred thousand of jewelry from the store. how does an open and shut case end up in a mistrial? paul mauro, founder of ops desk.org. something to write about on your sub stack, right? >> i have written about this. i wrote about the original arrest. the crime itself is so bad because aside from the fact that it is a strong arm robbery and he has a weapon, while the alleged perp here, is cleaning the place out. every time the victim moves a

little bit he comes back and hits him with a hammer, all right? it's a miracle the guy survived. 68-year-old old. his kids want him to retire but he loves the store he built. the store got looted during the lbm riots. robbed multiple times but he wants to stay in the neighborhood. his american dream he has to deal with this. it goes to trial. second day the jury hangs. somebody in that jury pool was saying i am simply not going to convict and i'm indifferent to the evidence. what was the evidence? they found him with the jewelry. less than a week later he is wearing some of the jewelry. he has the jewelry partitioned up into little baggies to sell in the neighborhood. he tries to pawn it. the pawnshop gives him up and how they get him. the bike he rode away from the side is his video. they have the bike, it matches. he is wearing a mask during the

event. the cops are saying his walk matches. not a small thing. these days there is a technology called forensic gate technology to analyze your walk and your physical gait and that's good evidence. i don't know if they use the technology. the walk matches. this should have been open and shut. a hung jury. god knows how. when it happened, the democrats were gearing up their crime bill. no comment from our president who is from delaware as this happened as we went into that. still no comment. delaware says they will retry him. they better slam dunk this thing. this is an eawful case. >> dana: it was a good thing we had the video with the crime and that's evidence to a prosecutor can prove something beyond a reasonable doubt. in our system you could have a jury where you have someone say they are not going to do it and

that doesn't engender trust in the system. >> it doesn't. we talked about a lot of cases on this show. i've talked about the idaho case where i said you never know what a jury is going to do. people say there will never be a plea. the reason prosecutors take a plea is because of cases like this. you don't know. all you need is one and in this case they got at least the one and you see the result. >> bill: let me get to the story in new york. alvin] downgraded more than half of the felony cases a year ago. year-to-date down 54%. you see the track record for him now. show this video. this homeless man was beaten with a baseball bat and the perp was let go. in part because they could not find the homeless man. all right. so they cut this guy a deal, did not put him behind bars, and now he is walking free. >> this thing was not well done from the get go in my opinion.

first of all they charged assault two. i would have charged attempted murder. assault two is a felony but second tier assault. should have at least assault one. you intend serious injury and cause it. i would have charged attempted murder. their excuse they can't find the perp now so we'll let this guy. the baseball bat guy here, he got group therapy. >> dana: oh my word. >> that's what he has been sentenced through. he has gotten group therapy they say because they couldn't find the victim. you have all the paperwork, you have the video, okay? it's better with the victim if you go to trial. but you have the proof that you need not only that the judge shouldn't have accepted it. within the purview of the judge to say this guy has to go to trial and jail. here is the other thing. they say they can't find him. we looked in the shelters and neighborhood and hospital. did they look in the morgue, all

right? they aren't mentioning that. for all we know, you know, whatever, week or two later, six weeks later that caught up with him and he is someplace in potter's field. he is a homeless guy, we wouldn't know. this thing to me is emblematic of the fact they are ideologically opposed to locking up people. that's it. incarceration stuff. >> the perp will probably act out again. >> wait until they close ryker's. it will go down 50%. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: passengers in japan watch wristler fight inside a train traveling at speeds up to 180 miles-per-hour. this is a wwe style match held in a car full of 75 passengers. tickets for the 30-minute brawl sold out in less than 30 minutes.
