and as we are, you know, looking at eagle pass and i know this is -- this is where kind of the issue is at the moment, you know, cbp quickly surged resources and personnel to the area and thanks to their great work, their great work, we are able to swiftly vet and process into custody more than 2,500 individuals and cleared the area where migrants had congregated and that's the work of our law enforcement. that's the work of our law enforcement at the border. remember, house republicans are trying to cut that, they are trying to cut that. >> totally different subject. there are some new relaxed standards in town. would president biden ever show up to an official meeting wearing shorts and a hoodie? >> you've -- i'm assuming you are talking about the senate, when you say relaxed standards. >> used to be president of the

senate. >> making sure we are clear what you are talking about here. you know the president, you've seen him, you've seen him as vice president, senator, he dresses better than most of us here, and so i'll just leave it at that. i'm not going to comment on how senate is running their business and the decision they make, that is up to them, not for us to decide. >> last one, at a fundraiser this week, president biden told donors about how charlottesville inspired his campaign and according to the pool a few minutes later he told the story again nearly word for word, what's up with that? >> i can tell you is, i'm going to be careful not to talk about, this was a campaign event for this upcoming campaign, obviously in 2024, so i'm not going to speak to that, put that out there for the hatch act, what i can speak to is look, the president was making very clear why he decided to run in 2019. he made it very clear as to what he saw in this country and what was going on and he got 81

million votes, historic amount of votes from americans across the country who believed this was a president who could help get -- protect our democracy, get our economy back on track, and could be a leader and the adult in the room. so that's what you saw. i'm not going to speak to comments made during a campaign event, but i can certainly speak to why the president is president today and why he decided to take on this job and it is important for him to continue to deliver for the american people and that's what he's going to do. >> i know you don't want to interfere with an ongoing -- >> john: so peter doocy a second kick at the can there, so to speak, after getting shut down yesterday by karine jean-pierre when he asked what do you call 10,000 people coming across the border, and then doocy asking about his speech last night he told the same story again like almost immediately after he just -- i do that eating steak

sometimes, i'll eat one steak and then eat another one, completely forgetting i've just eaten one, only because i really like steak. mollie hemingway, why don't we talk about the border because what we are hearing from democrats in congress and at the white house seems to be totally contradictory to what we are seeing at the border. yesterday hillary vaughn pigeon holed a lot of democrats on capitol hill and asked them about it. >> can i ask, is the border out of control? >> what is our immigration system is broken. >> we need for republicans to stop talking about open borders. >> when you see the cbp officers releasing migrants en mass on the street, do you think that sends a message to people the border is open? >> the border is not open. >> what you see is different than what happens in actuality.

>> john: that's the one i can't wrap my head around. what you see is different than what happens in actuality. we are actually playing that yesterday when we had pictures of a few dozen people coming across the river going underneath the concertina wire and aprehenned by the border patrol. what's happening here on capitol hill? >> right, well i don't think a lot of people want to talk about it on the hill but what people are seeing is not just happening on the border. you had 10,000 people crossing yesterday, 7.2 million across during the biden administration. you have the mayors of democrat cities, sanctuary cities like new york and chicago and other places saying that they cannot handle this influx of illegal immigrants and then you have people on the hill saying there's no problem here. i was really struck by what happened last night when joe biden gave a speech to the congressional hispanic caucus, he falsely said it was the congressional black caucus, but during the speech to the congressional hispanic caucus he said that he was doing

everything in his power to come up with new ways to have legal changes so people flooding across the border could be considered asylum seekers or refugees and therefore nothing could be done to stop it. it was a real admission that he is intentionally opening this border and i know people don't like to say it's an open border but after 7.2 million you can see it's an open border and his policies, it's not like he neglected the border and this just happened, he systematically, from the day he took office, worked to remove any kind of barrier that would secure the southern border and the proof is in the eating of the pudding, 7.2 million. >> john: the sheriff of maverick county was happy to say the border is open because he thinks it is. >> gillian: ongoing crisis is obviously a terrible thing for border towns, for americans who live there. that said, it is now a bipartisan issue with more and more democratic officials

speaking out, whether it's the mayor of eagle pass or the mayor of new york city. is the spotlight on this issue potentially helpful going forward? maybe or no hope? >> you saw in how karine jean-pierre answered the question or attempted to answer or fig leaf of an answer to peter doocy's question on the border. yesterday when she flat out refused toens a the question it didn't go over well because it's a bipartisan issue, you have mayors of large municipalities and then of small towns saying we just can't handle this influx. when you have someone coming in illegally, that might benefit certain sectors of the economy, elites, certainly like to have a lot of illegal immigrants. but it means that you have to take care of people in hospitals, at schools, in local communities, it affects the policing in a given area, and so a lot of times this was happening in small midwestern towns and now it's happening across the entire country with so many people.

so it's a much bigger -- >> gillian: if new york city cannot handle it. how is del rio. >> john: curious why karine jean-pierre called on peter second today, she never does that. was she chagrinned herself the way she handled it, somebody speak to her? >> interesting to note, a very different response than yesterday. >> john: the other big issue here, that's the dress code. joe manchin circulating a petition that business attire has to be worn on the senate floor. he clearly does not think this idea of some members of the senate showing up in a hoodie, shorts and sneakers is the right way to go. >> another interesting political issue cutting across both parties. on the one hand, who really cares what the dress code is at an institution. on the other hand, it seems sad, seems like an acceptance of civilizational decline that people are not ready to have. they might be frustrated with the senate with how it's

operating, how so many of its senators are corrupt or unable to do their business, but they don't want to have it be such an open admission of failure and so the fact that democrats are pushing chuck schumer to revisit i think indicates via polling or phone calls to the offices is not going well with even democrat constituents. >> gillian: to me the most problematic part of the policy revision is the way that in the original iteration handed down by chuck schumer, senators would no longer have to abide by a dress code on the senate floor but the american people would. that seems to like highlight all the bad things that people say about, you know, the nature of the senate. >> or reminds people of the problems with the country, two standards of justice, one for elites and one for other people. one for people who are friends of the ruling regime and one for people who are not. and so this just seemed to factor into that as well. >> john: you know, we made this point the other day that

supporters of fetterman say that him dressing casually and kind of roaming around the senate is an indication that he's a happy fella, indicates that he's recovering well, the fact that he can walk around in a hoodie and his shorts, but there were people like chris van holland, mark kirk, tim johnson, all of them had similar medical problems to that which john fetterman did and they continued to wear coat and tie. >> i'm worried it's the opposite of him being in a particularly good disposition. he was not long ago hospitalized with mental health issue, i've experienced myself as well, that when you are having bouts of depression or other issues it can affect your act to get up, get dressed, showered and get out there, and i hope senator fetterman -- people are talking about this but i hope the people close to him love him enough to get him the help he needs to make sure he's up for this, it

does not seem like he's able to handle some of the duties and maybe chuck schumer, rather than changing dress code policy and to help him out should think about whether he's providing the help he really should be. >> gillian: or the help the senator might need. we have to leave it there. thank you for joining us. >> john: good to see you. have a great we could. our first listen to 911 calls that were made after a pilot ejected from an f-35 stealth jet over north charleston. an aircraft that then went missing for more than 24 hours. a homeowner in south carolina made the initial 911 call but the pilot then hopped on the line to try to explain the unique situation. >> sorry, what happened? >> we have a pilot in the house and i guess he landed in my back yard and we were trying to see if we could get an ambulance to the house. >> we have a military jet crash,

i'm the pilot, we need to get rescue rolling, i'm not sure where the airplane is, it would have crash landed somewhere, i ejected. >> john: at one point the pilot asked the dispatcher if there had been any reports of a plane crash. and took more than a day to find the $80 million jet and there are still a lot of questions as to exactly what happened. the plane flew on auto pilot another 60 miles unmanned. defense officials have not disclosed what caused the pilot to eject but do say a feature that erases the jet's communication in case of ejection may explain why it was so hard to find. it's a stealth aircraft, clearly the stealth aspect of it worked and worked well. >> gillian: it did. i have to say, every aspect of this story is surprising. like from start to finish. i thought the surprise was when the plane was missing for all those hours -- i mean, every development is asstonnishing in the story. the fact he showed up at

somebody's house, they called 911 rather than calling military officials, everything is surprising. >> john: i guess the homeowner, the pilot lands in your back yard, the first thing you do is call 911. i hope the pilot is okay. when you eject from an aircraft, even if you are not going that fast, still the force of being thrown out by the rockets while you are in your seat, very often can cause spinal injuries. but it's a real question that a lot of very high ranking military folks i've talked to about this have is it flew on for another 80 miles, why did it -- if it was such an emergency, why did it go that far and then the question as well that if it could fly that far, could it have been landed. don't know. >> gillian: i don't know. >> john: something apparently catastrophic must have gone wrong. >> gillian: all of it surprising, scratching your head. >> john: john kirby is promising

>> gillian: welcome back. uaw is ramping up strikes against general motors and stellantis, meaning workers are hitting picket lines across 20 states. gm calls it unnecessary and accusing union leadership of manipulating the bargaining process for their own personal agendas. ford tentatively agreeing to some of the union demands. united auto workers has invited president biden to join the picket lines, after the white house canceled plans to attend

negotiations in person in detroit. dottie leonard, a unitedrecessi healthcare back for the two-tier when they retire, bringing back cola, job stability, i mean, just -- i mean, we need to bring this stuff back. >> gillian: dottie, i want to highlight for the viewers the sort of scale and scope of the strikes right now. originally we saw 13,000 people picketing, but as of today additional 5600 have joined the ranks, bringing us to 18,600 people out there, 20 states are striking.

do you feel a difference in the energy where you are? does the addition of these 5600 other workers make a difference? >> i mean, as the uaw member, we are prepared to stand as long as we need to stand to get a fair contract. we are just asking for a fair contract. >> gillian: the president, president biden, has been insisting many times lately that he is the most pro union president in american history. do you feel he has done enough to help the cause of you and your colleagues? >> i don't really think that -- i mean, i feel like that's more collective bargaining for our side. i don't really -- i don't think he has, but -- >> gillian: would you like to see the president accept the union's invitation to come out and join the picket line in person, would you like to see that happen?

>> i mean, i think it would be great for him to come out, seeing he is pro union. so i think it would be great for him to come out and support us. >> gillian: i want to ask you about the transition being promoted by the administration to electric vehicles. when you take a look at your industry, do you think it is something the nation right now is prepared for, practically, financially, how do you feel about this push towards excluesive. >> i don't think the economy is ready for it, the cost and everything that goes into it. >> gillian: we have to leave it there, thank you for taking time out of this very important day and the work you are doing to

lay it all out on the line for us. we wish you all the best. >> thank you very much. >> john: president biden set to speak minutes from now where he is expected to announce a new office aimed at tackling the nation's gun violence epidemic. we will take you there live once the president steps up to the podium. >> gillian: ukraine's president just wrapped up a trip to washington, came with a massive aid package from the united states. republicans on capitol hill are questioning whether the u.s. government should be handing out more money to kyiv with the u.s. government now teetering on the brink of a shutdown. dan hoffman is going to join us to weigh in coming up next.

enthusiasts will have to wait a while longer. susan lee joins us from apple's flagship store in new york city. how are the lines looking right now? >> well, if you eyeball it, looks like the lines are longer than last year, and not just the line-ups here in new york city, but and the world in stores in australia, china, dubai, so consumer economic indicator, you know, if you are coming down to the 5th avenue flagship store be prepared to wait because you are staring down lines that are a block long all the way down to park avenue. this morning apple ceo tim cook opened up the doors here at the flagship store greeting fans, taking lots of selfies and i caught up briefly with him inside and two things he's excited about in the new iphone 15 line-up, a switch to titanium, the smaller microchip,

the phones are not cheap. so we asked some fans in line where they are willing to spend so much on a phone in the tough economic times. >> honestly, i didn't want to line up, but i tried to order online, the preorder seems like you have to wait a month or two for it to arrive and there were not any pick-up availabilities, it was all sold out so i could not get ahold of the iphone, so i ended up lining up. >> one reason behind the strong demand could be the generous telecom subsidies from at&t, verizon, and t-mobile. subsidies up to $1,000. now, apple still gets around half of their sales each and every year from the iphone, but you've heard from executives and tim cook himself saying it's a challenging u.s. smartphone market right now, sluggish smartphone demand and that's why apple could be staring down a fourth straight quarter of

falling sales. that would be the longest losing streak in 20 years but it's going to take some time if you want your iphone 15 line-ups today. >> gillian: wow, all right. susan lee in new york city this hour, thank you so much. john, it's amazing how many people are willing to not only pay like $1,800 for a phone, but they are also going to stand in line all day to get it. >> john: i'm looking at my lowly iphone 12 right now. >> gillian: i think we have the 12. >> john: thinking it's so 2021. you know. >> gillian: but it works, you know. why waste money on a new one when the old one works fine. don't get the free upgrades anymore, at least i don't. >> john: feel i am not keeping up. what am i going to do, what am i going to do. i'm going to say now this. >> go in, we lose, how are we going to carry it on. a grab bag of doing things the last year and a half. >> single sentence summed it up and quoting him verbatim, mr.

zelenskyy said if we don't get the aid we will lose the war. >> john: ukrainian president zelenskyy returning home with a new aid package. he was in washington where he met with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and then with president biden. during their meeting, biden announced additional $325 million in aid to ukraine, the news comes as poland said it would no longer provide weapons to zelenskyy. let's bring in dan hoffman, former cia station chief in moscow and fox news contributor. $325 million, himars missiles, including according to our jacqui heinrich, a small number of attack 'ems, the long range, anti-tank weapons, air defense munitions, artillery rounds, up until now, dan, this administration has been notorious for giving ukraine the type of weapons that will keep it in the fight, but not give it

the advantage to win. does this package change that equation? >> no, it doesn't. there's been a lag time. we are giving him the weapons now that they could have used 18 months ago. they needed f-16s, needed things before the summer counteroffensive and that's where i think the biden administration has failed effectively to enable ukraine to take the fight to the enemy. i also think the biden administration has failed to explain to the american people why we are in this fight. yes, it's ukraine's existential war for their survival but also our fight. ukraine is defending europe from russia's brutal aggression, cutting the russian army down to size and crisis of confidence in the kremlin, particularly among the kremlin closest allies, china, iran, north korea, wondering whether there is buyer's remorse there over vladimir putin's conduct of this brutal war, which has resulted in so many civilian casualties

targeting maternity wards and neighborhoods and hospitals. >> john: so, poland says it's no longer going to supply weapons to ukraine. and this is part of the argument, that has been made by, in particular, former president trump who says why should the u.s. be footing the bill when it's more in europe's interest to make sure that russia doesn't gain control of ukraine? >> europe and the united states have about matched each other in terms of assistance provided to ukraine in dollar or euro amounts. but politics is kind of infiltrated this very important national security issue. in poland as well as inn the united states, and democrats and republicans don't agree on a lot of things these days, and i guess we have to include the ukraine war as well. but i think if you look at the politics of it, look at ambassador nikki haley who was more eloquently arguably than anyone in the biden administration argued why the united states needs to continue to support ukraine. at the end of the day, it

reminds me of when i was in college and president reagan was explaining to the american people why we needed to take up the fight against the soviet evil empire. that's what we are lacking right now and i think we are seeing the results of that. >> john: bret baier of course had a terrific interview with the crown prince of saudi arabia in which salman indicated that negotiations were continuing with israel toward a possible normalization of relations. just a short time ago, bret was able to speak with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and asked him about those negotiations. listen to what he said. >> we just got back from riyadh, i know you heard the words from the saudi crown prince. what was your response? >> delighted to hear what he had to say and borrow a phrase, i think we are getting closer to peace every day that passes. >> you talked about it today in your u.n. speech. you talked pretty optimistically about it. >> yes, i did, and that's not to

minimize the hurdles before us, but when you have three leaders and three countries that avidly want a result, united states under president biden, saudi arabia under the crown prince and israel under my premiership, i think that really raises the possibility that we'll succeed. >> john: the idea of saudi arabia joining the abraham accords is heady stuff. but hurdles remain and huge sticking points between israel and saudi arabia when it comes to potential normalization of relations. do you think it can get done? >> i think first of all it represents a real pivot from president biden calling out saudi arabia as a pariah state during the campaign and critical of benjamin netanyahu, i applaud

the biden administration for -- where we recognize it's in our national security interest to make this happen, to build on the abraham accords and extend peace in the middle east. it's extremely difficult to do. i thought mbs gave a very interesting interview to our own bret baier. he was candid but parsed his words carefully, emphasized we needed to take care of them and negotiate, that's clearly one sticking point. and the saudi interest in countering iran's nuclear program is another one. i thought mbs messaged that effectively in the interview. >> john: he made it sound positive as it relates to jerusalem. some potentially troubling as it related to a possible nuclear arms race in the middle east. listen to this exchange. >> are you concerned, though, iran gets a nuclear weapon, about them getting a nuclear weapon? >> well, we are concerned of any country getting a nuclear

weapon. that's a bad -- that's a bad move. >> if they get one, will you? >> if they get one, we have to get one. >> john: if they get one, we have to get one and then the u.a. has to get one and then who knows where it goes from there. i mean, i can't see anything but bad -- >> that was -- no, but that was well said by i think mbs, he's messaging iran, if iran proceeds from being a nuclear threshold state, what they are now, a very short breakout time, to acquiring a nuclear weapon, they are going to tip off a nuclear arms race in the middle east, which no one wants. but he's also messaging israel and the united states to do everything that we need to do to ensure that iran does not get a nuclear capability, a nuclear weapon. so i thought that was -- that was a fascinating part of the interview and i think we are seeing mbs with some pretty sophisticated diplomatic and p.r. skills on display. >> john: let's hope everybody at the state department and the white house is as astute as you

are of reading the language. dan hoffman, appreciate you coming on. >> thanks. >> gillian: border patrol says a surge of illegal crossings along the southern border is expected to continue on into the fall. many people who cross are being sent to cities whose officials now claim are being stretched too thin. chicago is inking a deal that has many folks in the windy city up in arms. illinois state senate minority leader john curran is standing by to weigh in on that and a whole lot more, coming up next. you're the first to know when high rate debt is stressing your budget. but your family's service has earned you a big advantage. the va home loan benefit. with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan, you can pay off high rate credit cards and car loans. and can save $6,000 a year. that's real money you can use to take care of your family and home. f-r-e-e.

>> john: right there is a live look at the southern border at eagle pass, texas, you can see some people on the riverbank. we have seen thousands of folks crossing illegally into eagle pass from mexico across the rio grande in the past few days. the crisis overwhelming cities far from the border. >> gillian: this including chicago where mayor brandon johnson is facing criticism now after signing $29 million contract with a security firm. it's going to be used to build tent cities for migrants. currently many people are sleeping on the floors in police stations as well as o'hare

airport. the camps will reportedly hold anywhere between 500 to 1,000 migrants each, but what is not known is where exactly these tents are going to be winterized tents are going to be built. >> john: john curran, republican in the illinois state senate minority leader. john, it's great to talk to you. appreciate you coming on. this $29 million contract that the city of chicago has got with the contractor to build these tent cities, these winterized tent cities, what do you know about it? >> you know, the public knows very little. there's been no transparency with this plan. there are significant public safety concerns around this, not only just for the migrants, but

for the public in and around chicago as well. there's been a real lack of just any coherent plan put out there and discussed before the mayor went ahead and, you know, entered into this contract. >> gillian: what are some of the concerns your constituents are voicing right now? what are you hearing from them? >> it is public safety. first and foremost. you know, you are going to build these tent facilities, how is that going to be safe, the communities around there, how are you going to ensure the safety for the communities, where you locate them, right now it's unknown where these are going to be located, something the city is keeping back information-wise and not sharing with the public. there's -- there's just and real lack of transparency and that concerns everybody.

>> john: so there was a graphic depiction of what one of these camps might look like, and there it is here, this is from the chicago sun times, you can see it's got a number of -- they call them yurt-style tents, i guess those are the blue tents there on the left-hand side. restroom and shower facilities here, obviously a dining area, storage areas, this is designed to hold almost 1,000 people. it's obviously going to take quite a footprint. what areas might you have in chicago where these could go, and i ask you that question because in all of its wisdom, the city of new york decided to take the soccer fields at randall's island and turn them into tent cities, much to the chagrin and actually outrage of local residents who only had that place to go take their kids

to go play. >> and the layer on top of that, vast public safety concerns in chicago, you know, crime is at an all-time high right now and now we place these facilities at places, how are you going to keep that facility safe and how are you going to keep the neighborhood around the facility like that safe. so that's really where the concern is coming in. right now there's great concern with regards to crime in chicago, and this is just layering on top of that. this is just a perfect example of how chicago sanctuary city status plan from the beginning has just been a disaster. >> gillian: i understand that compounding some of the waryness of folks on chicago, comes on the heels of the ill-fated plan over the summer to house undocumented migrants in schools, how did that go down? >> and police stations, on the floor in police stations. you know, really -- and there's

been a lot of pit falls with that. it is -- there's -- you know, the move to being a sanctuary city was never followed up with an actual concrete plan to how you are going to house and acclimate all those people you invited and advertised to please cross the border and come to chicago. it has been ill conceived from the beginning. >> john: staying at schools after they had to get them out of police stations where they were being housed. senator john curran from the state of illinois. good to talk to you. hopefully we will get more information about this in the not too distant future. >> john: take care. striking workers at hollywood studios meeting for a third consecutive day as the strike enters the 145th day. so, what progress has been made? we'll have a live report coming up next. place her many hats would be embraced. and she couldn't hide the excitement from her face. so, polly traded in her hats to help earn her grad cap!

>> gillian: welcome back. another showing of some pretty bad sportsmanship during last night's 49ers-giants game. video posted to social media shows fans fighting in the stands. it all starts with two women going at it before a man, you can see him there, holding a beer, grabs one of the women by the hair. the fight then spills down the stairs. this is not the first fight that we are seeing and it's only three weeks into this season. there it goes, last sunday a group of texan fans got into a brawl near the concession stand as their team was losing at home to the colts. there is that, and then also this fight at a cardinals versus commanders game during week one at fedex field. and then a patriots fan died after a fight with a dolphins fan at gillette stadium. >> john: he had some medical condition. you know, being between this and crime we are seeing across the

country and people carjacked in their garage in nice neighborhoods, this entire country is turning into a batman movie. >> gillian: folks are angry. >> john: what's being done about it? >> gillian: i don't know, but not beating each other up on the flights anymore, or at least not hearing about it like during the pandemic. >> john: i don't understand why folks are so mad at each other. >> gillian: can't they get along like they do in washington? >> john: great example. >> gillian: setting the tone for the rest of the country. there you go. >> john: the way they do it across the street, the way we should all be doing it. negotiations continuing today between striking writers and hollywood studios as the historic dispute nears the five-month mark. the two sides meeting for a third straight day after hours of talks yesterday. wga members still in full force on the picket lines. even as discussions continue. jeff paul live in culver city, california, with the latest. any end in sight, jeff?

>> we are all hoping so, at least so we can get these folks back to work. but we are outside of one of the many studios, i don't know, here in southern california where the production of tv shows and movies has all but stopped and enter the 144th straight day of these writers being out here on strike, there are some signs that real progress is being made. that's because both union representatives and the studios are continuing talks for a third consecutive day, that has not happened in weeks. writers want more money as well as residual for streaming services, and also against the use of a.i., and longer this work stoppage goes on, the more money will be lost. so, writers say the fact both sides are still at the bargaining table is a huge relief. >> radio silence from both sides, so that's good.

that means they are talking. so far no bad news has come out, no good news, but as long as they are talking, that's good news. >> i feel really optimistic. i feel that sometimes you have to be pushed to the edge in order for you to recognize like what needs to happen. >> now as we enter the weekend, wa el -- we'll have to wait and see when they will come to an agreement, but a sense of urgency as california governor gavin newsom says the strike is costing the state's economy more than $5 billion. john. >> john: all right, jeff paul for us and hopefully we'll get our tv shows and movies back again soon. gillian. >> gillian: also this robot cop is joining the ranks of the new york city police department. coming up, how the so-called k-5 can help maybe improve subway safety. stick with us. ♪♪
