barreling down and we're not just talking about the one making land fall on east coast. in new jersey the growing calls for within his own party for democrat senator bob meneezez after charged with bribery and a record number of migrants crossing e illegally but more democrats coming down on president biden and across america, the bitter battle toened a crippling automaker strike spreading to more states. growing worries that it could bring our economy down. welcome everyone i'm charles payne in for cavuto and this is cavuto live and entering ninth day expanding to a lot more plants and a lot more states. now, president biden responding to the pressure to weigh in. mark meredith is following it all very closely from the white house. mark. >> i am where president biden continues to monitor the impact this autostrike is having on the u.s. economy, and the

autoindustry specifically. the white house says on tuesday the president is going to see first hand what's going on. getting a sense of what's happening on the frontlines as workers demanding higher waging this strike has dragged on for more than a week now impacting operations at three u.s. automakers general motors and ford, the uaw says it is even expanding walkouts at gm as talks drag on, however, talks appear to be progressing a little bit better with ford as for the president's thoughts he posted on friday to go to michigan to join picket line and stand in solidarity with men and women of uaw as they have a fair share for keeps manufacturing thriving with well paid uaw jobs and uaw leaders say they welcome the president's visit. >> we invite and encourage everyone who supports our cause to join us on the picket line from our friends and families, all the way up to the president

of the united states. we invite you to join us in our fight. reporter: president made it clear he believes work merse this fight demanding a raise given profits in recent years and a politically tricky situation for the president the uaw has not endorsed anyone yet. president biden has labeled himself the most prounion president in history. also still walking through a fine line on economy you remember recent polls show americans are unsure about benefits of bidenomics heading west to california and spotlight will stay on michigan because former trump he's getting ready to take his campaign there to meet with uaw works on wednesday. charles. charles: mark meredith thank you. parts are laying off work ergs more. thed to follow so what does it all mean for the overall economy? joining me now cointelligence

dan booth case capital kenny and tom, he's owner of six car dealerships including a ford dealer in new jersey. daniel let me start request you you cover the brotd economy and follow federal reserve money and you know we have these conversations daily. what do you see as far as the impact already i'm reading 1.6 billion dollars so far? >> they're starting to be economic fallout in terms of production that's going to sap jobs out of the u.s. economy. but we have to remember the back drop charles. the big three automakers ramped up production into three months beginning in march. and they ended up with 2 million cars in inventory with 15 million units selling per year on an annual rate. last time we had two million units in inventory in 2019 selling a the a $17 million annualized rate so demand is not what it once was so impact of this strike is not hurting these automakers as much as it would

otherwise i would have one last thing that's that the revenue at big dealership service centers, is at a 5-year low so again, they're aiming to hurt. but if the back drop matters right now, charles. charles: i know like i've got to go to tom she hit a few things that you know about firsthand. what do you make automakers are kind of worried this would happen. there's an overproduction and there's that buy you some time? does that buy the consumers some time? >> it definitely buys consumers some time inventories on new car side are definitely -- they saw this coming so they started producing more. but i have to tell you i disagree on one issue. parts are going to be the issue. supply chain gets shutdown parts can't get to the dealerships. when the supply chain gets shut down and start laying off employees what they do is they shut the truckers down, parts cannot get to the dealerships. and if the parts can't get to the dealerships dealerships can't pex the cars, consumers can't get their cars on the roads and you know what, that's

catastrophic because they have to get to work and get children to school. you're shutting down the transportation system. it's disastrous and i have to tell you what the uaw is asking for is unsustainable. charles: so -- are you then saying you kind of lean toward the car companies themselves? do you think the uaw deserves any sort of raise and is it intriguing they did begin these strikes at final assembly points not choke points final assembly points maybe if it is a short strike there won't be the rep l effect that you've described. >> yeah. you know, listen, i have to tell you, you know, what they're asking for is unsustainable you can't get a 40% pay increase in a 10% inflation environment and reduce your work hours to 32 hours and get paid for 40. you know, it's yeah. car companies have record profits but what they have to look at is peel back onion. ford is on track to be 4.5

billion dollars in this ev insanity that biden created. now consumer doesn't want they're not buying into the ev so they created this mandates. they're losing billions of dollars on that side of the fence and i have to go back precovid because precovid companies weren't making these kind of profits. what happens if we go back to precovid -- reality? and you know, we give a 40% pay increase and we give a 32-hour workweek these companies will go bankrupt. what you're doing is portioning manufacture to start looking outside of the u.s. to produce because they can't produce at a -- a competitive rate. so they're going to start looking in mexico venezuela and we want to drive these jobs back to the u.s. charles: kennedy because of the ev mandate by the way -- the kind of losses that tom just described automake reverse taking there's a wink and nod at some point if the democrats keep the white house, we're going to be mandated to own these cars,

right now they're trying to -- all of the hey you know what 7500 bucks, a lot of folk don't need a $7500 tax credit because the uaw is saying hey after this we're going lose they're going to fire 30 or 40% of us. you don't need us look at tesla profit margins so they're saying our survival is this moment now we can't wait any long or. >> right that may be true but remember the contract is only four years long. so it is not like this takes them out forever to your point yes as we go to shift into evs there's a change in jobs there's that projection to be a massive loss in jobs so yeah i whawns the uaw is doing i also agree with i think that it is probably a little bit rich what they're asking for right they want higher wages in -- a shorter workweek i don't see where that makes a lot of sense but they should get paid a fair wage and mandates to buy ev if

there's a democratic administration they have to build out the infrastructure because the infrastructure does not support evs right now. >> infrastructure doesn't support any of this kenny now you're talking you're talking about -- but it is a mandate daniel let me go back to you because this is nonsense call to get a 32 hour workweek and paid 30, 42 hours but a start of a negotiation but we started this off with the right word, inflation right we're talking about everyone watching this show. they have impacted negatively by inflation. and these autoworkers believe it or not are making less money than almost anyone else in manufacturing over the last 15 years. and so you add inflation it is negative. so you've got to feel there's a deal, i wonder how long it would take both sides every ten days all of the workers if they go on strike every ten days is 5.6 billion we kangt absorb that as a nation can we? >> no we can't and you're

absolutely correct. timing is everything, and uaw last negotiation occurred before fiscal spending created this inflationary spiral they've had to sustain effectively making lower real income. i understand where they're coming from. but i would also look back and say history matters. in 1981, when the air traffic controllers went on strike one of their main demands that the public disagreed with was a 32-hour workweek i have to work more than 32 hours -- charles: i don't think -- >> that's my point. charles: i don't think anyone thinks they're going to get that but 75% americans think they should get a raise i'm one of them because severely underpaid -- fantastic talk again, but again right now here's the thing about all of us we keep talking about politics they're not endorsing president bide, of course, we know he's going join picket lines in michigan on tuesday but what does that mean for the blue collar vote political washington and washington reporter daniel

joins me now. so -- dan, let's be honest. biden will get the nomination he's going to get the endorsement already you have the head dis president trump but i'm worried about rank and file because in 2020 and 2016 rank and file you know even 2020 rank and file really showed up for president trump. >> yeah that's why biden is going to the picket line he's probably going to be the first president in u.s. history to strike with -- on a pingt line that doesn't happen normally. and we'll see if president trump is able to even join the picket line he's going to do a speech but he -- the president of the uaw said trump is not welcome. so they're trying to reverse this slide in poll numbers among nonwhite working class voters especially in 2020 biden had a 48.advantage among them now it

is 16 points and so i think inflation has a big to do with that. >> it is huge. glairs it is destroying everyone and i read this article on impact trump can win in 2024 and most important thing we have this discussion here. the investment, ira right this big inflation reduction act which one of the most horrible names ever. is all about things that hurt work ergs. right? all of the money goes to nonunion jobs. so i mean again if i'm sitting i'm not an idiot okay working whether it is uaw or somewhere else i'm looking at what you're doing, and we're going to -- if i work in oil and gas industry. i'm -- you want me to lose my job if i assemble cars, more lukely i've got a good chance of losing my job. why would blue collar workers continue to vote for the democrats? >> well what the biden campaign is saying is hey we've invested in america with semiconductor plants which is a bipartisan bill sponsored by senator todd

young republican from indiana. >> how does that help the blue collar six swing states i don't know how many semiconductor plants. this is what we're talking about right now the blue collar workers and uaw is a great proxy for that right -- rank and file not the president we know that. but the rankin feel who overwhelmingly overperform for president trump in the last couple of elections. >> a lot of these plapghts it is not just engineers from stanford who are working in plants you actually need blue collar people who are working in the semiconductor plants been announced all across the country. charles: that is 500 engineers from taiwan. >> you need those people too but i think it is a mix. charles and so -- >> you're not going to say semiconductors is a way to go lose your job and we'll retrain you we've played that game learn how to code it ain't going to work. >> but there's not -- not just chips plants. it is also the, you know, solar

subsidies, the wind power, you know, someone needs to make those things -- you know, electric vehicles subsidies even if some of those workers can actually buy a tesla. they are the ones who are making that. charles: those, by the way, nonunion workers dan thank you very much still ahead as illegal border crossings topped last year record high did the blame game in washington consider a new law? and a key democrat senator indicted on breeb rei charges. why what he's accused of hiding in his house may be very telling about his case. next.

i was tired of throwing money down the rent drain, so to speak. after watching the admiral that just made up my mind, i said, i'm calling newday usa tomorrow. 70 more dollars over my rent. i'm actually owning my own home because newday usa focuses on the va homeloan benefit. that's their expertise. i felt like i would definitely get a better shake. the admiral said that my service is, you know, my down payment.

for us that was important not to be able to have to put anything down. i was aviation in the marine corps, 30 some million dollar aircraft. if the country, american people can put that kind of trust and confidence, the equipment that we fix, literally $200,000 home. can you help me? can somebody put a little bit of belief in me? and i felt like i felt newday did do that. if you can afford rent, you can afford to own. to maximize that va loan benefit and not pay anything out of my pocket was tremendous. i had my doubts, but i don't anymore. charles: another big legal scandal erupting that could have major implications on a balance of power in d.c.. new jersey democrat senator bob menendez say he's not resigning as top democrats and his own state calling for him to step down after indicted on bribery charges along with his wife

alexandria huff has details. alexandria. >> senator menendez has temple rarely stepped down from role as chair of the senate relations committee he says he's not giving up his electioned position despite calls from his foal low democrats that includes new jersey ghosn phil murphy who stayed in, quote, the alleged facts are so serious that they compromise the ability of senator menendez to effectively represent people of our state. therefore, i'm calling for his immediate resignation. the long serving senator and his wife nadine have been accused of engaging in a corrupt relationship with three new jersey businessman according to indictment unsealed yesterday senator used influence to interfere in criminal prosecutions and aid the government of egypt. >> senator menendez allegedly provided sensitive nonpublic u.s. government information to egyptian officials and otherwise took steps to secretly aid the government of egypt. reporter: senator menendez charged with bribery linked to

submit on officials with bribes and a search of the safety dmoft box turned half a million in cash some of it stuffed into the senator's jackets along with over 100,000 dollars worth of gold bars and mercedes also allegedly provided to the couple along with mortgage payments and other gifts. menendez denies wrong doing and stated yesterday, quote, it is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a latino and push him out of his seat seat i'm not going anywhere. senator is expected to appear in federal court on wednesday tried six years ago on unrelated bribery charged cleared with a hung jury charles. charles: thanks we're going to talk to legal psychological larceny on this coming up first, though, why a government shutdown threat on the ground could mean trouble in the skies. and a blame game over the border president biden pointing the finger at republicans over migrants rushing in but even

charles: new video this morning of hundreds of migrant crossing border in texas, president bide under growing pressure from both parties to address the crisis as officials on ground are now seeing record of number border encounters griff jenkins is live in eagle pass, texas, griff. reporter: hey charles good morning and we have had more than 700 migrants already on this very busy saturday morning, and right now we have a live situation going on in the river. charles i want to take you right to our sky fox flight team, the drone in the air there. you can see this group of migrants on this island in the rio grand between the u.s. side

they'll have to go through razor wire and mexican side on the other side there's a group on the mexican side crossing now in a border patrol boat in the middle of the river as we kind of circle around and we can take you, we have a land camera on this as well. you can get different views, it's underneath the port of entry bridge. there's a train track on one bridge and a port of entry above us here. but these migrants just taking their time crossing while another group have been waved from the ones in the island from the mexican seed to start crossing we're seeing that as border patrol monitors it and tries to make sure no one gets into a situation where the current can carry them away and a body pulled from the river yesterday afternoon charles a heart wrenching snapshot of the really crisis a humanitarian part of this crisis three migrants have drowned in three days this is scene we've been

watching all week long agents here tell me they have got about 11,000 migrants just this area and the past seven days. levels that they just schismly never see here most of the migrants by the way charles are from venezuela once they get across the river, they are going to have to go through that ray czar wire we can show you a little bit of video of them having to go through that and they walk along road up here to officials where they will be taken into custody most of them released there's no capacity here in this area to keep them or to hold them that's why they're going get this notice to appear in a court date way down the road to apply for their asylum hearing and real quick i want to show you numbers releasing august numbers yesterday, more than 232,000 migrants, highest on record you're looking now you can see that fiscal year to date. well over 2.2 million and there are still a few days left in this fiscal year finally back out here again i want to give

you one more look at that charles of this situation of the migrants you can see crossing -- this is the situation that we hope the administration will begin to give us a little more information on what their plan is to address this crisis and migrants leak these on this island we know that secretary alejandro mayorkas is making a visit in the rio grand valley valley in texas they're not seeing level we're seeing here nonetheless. we may get some insight right now we just hope all of these migrants will make it safely across the river no joke of these currents of the river. that's what's happening here charles. charles: griff jenkins pulling a blame on the republicans for the crisis. take a listen. >> we have speaker mccarthy and republicans in congress continuously take step to undermine what is countrily happening trying to undermine getting border security. we would love to do this in a

bipartisan way. but we're not seeing that. we're seeing what we're seeing from house republicans is wanting to defend -- defund pardon me dhs. charles: a growing number of republicans and democrats say that blame belongs on the president's policies. here to discuss montana republican congressman matt rosendale. congressman it is almost -- good morning, good morning. let's begin with we'll start with the press secretary statement that it's your party that's been in the way of all of this. and you have created this problem. what do you say to that? >> it's addition appointing to hear those sound bites out of the washington charles. you know, we don't have theories we have actual examples of what to do to secure our southern border. president trump did an outstanding job of it. and for the democrat party, to cast stones and dispersions to republicans while allowing this humanitarian crisis to take place it is disapongting to me.

not only do we have problems at the border but far, far inland how it impacts every state including -- montana which is as far as you can get away with the fentanyl deaths, human trafficking, it's disappointing and that is the worst example of the problems with washington, d.c. right there -- that spokesperson. charles: folks are saying exactly that -- that in reality every state is a border state. when you see the amount of deaths that death toll that's climbing the fentanyl death toll our population is going down. we are in a major, major crisis that any nation would sound the alarm but now, it really has come to the doorstep, you know, some of the sanctuary cities and i want to talk about mayor adams in new york. playing video of him proudly saying we're a sanctuary city. we always will be. everyone is welcomed here. you know, whole read off the poem from the foot of the statue

of liberty mayor is saying this crisis will destroy the greatest city, most wealthy city in the world. i mean, that's hard to connect those two things. >> it truly is charles i was in the rules committee yesterday afternoon unfortunately leader mccarthy sent most of congress home. but there's many of us that did stay here to get our work done so that we can pass the 12 appropriation bills. in that committee hearing, we heard republicans and democrats alike having discussion and debate and homeland security is one of the appropriation bills we're trying to pass now. so this was a major subject and the thing is that, if you don't have repercussions, the democrats even agree with this. if there's not a hammer or repercussions or consequences to entering in illegally you're going to continue to see this vast flow of humanity coming in. we have to reimplement those pomses that we know will work. charles: he's now you --

i don't think you'll get calls that protecting borders is race racist but should be smart and get something out of mayorkas on next visit coming up. i want to switch gears, though, because while all of this is going down right you have negotiators -- still down on the hill trying to hash out a budgets deal, obviously, everyone would leak to avoid a government shutdown could happen in over a week now so far you're not onboard with some of the things that have comp with short-term funding -- so how -- with we cap the livelihood of a shutdown for us? >> sure, sure, charles i'm so glad that you're the one who is actually on here with me this morming because you do have common sense. you do understand that we're going collect about $5 trillion worth of revenue into the federal -- this year but they're asking for $7 trillion a year to be spent and all of that will never be debated, responsibly and transparently unless we're able to bring those 12 appropriation bills up. we've known that it is not a

mystery. process started earlier this year and while these a lot of folks are focusing on trying to pass a continuing resolution that merely spends policies some of us are still here saying we want to pass these appropriation bills and now that we have gotten to the time is running out for when government is fully funded through regular process they try to use that as a tool to submit to the ways of old. and charles, it doesn't work. we -- if we pass a continuing resolution this appropriations process that we are -- that we're going through right now to have open debate and propose amendments, and transparency responsibly fund government that process will stop. and unfortunately -- this is what it takes. charles: you know, it's -- , of course, you always get the pushback this is not the time to negotiate things like that but i

wonder as a taxpayer when is the snipe since they removed we have added 1.6 trillion and at 32 trillion and counting and this is something that's good. congressman rosendale thank you very much. attorney general may have seen this, this week in the hot heat over the handling of the hunter biden and donald trump investigations, and did we -- did the hearing actually expose a doj double ?arngd we're going look into that also the senate deching its dress code, and while many are bashing a change others are making their own kind of fashion statement. cuz... cuz you paid too much for those glasses. next time, go to america's best where two pairs and a free,

have been special council davidwise or hunter biden given how many times their name was mentioned during hearing. >> fix is in even with the face saving indictment everyone knows fix is in. four and a half years -- four and a half years of department of justice has been investigating mr. biden an investigation run by david wise an investigation that limited the number of witnesses agents could interview. >> garland aupon thed david wise to special council status after donald trump appointee personally made the request. >> i reaffirm today i am not the president's lawyer. i will add i am not congress's prosecutor. the justice department works for the american people. >> democrats down played the hunter biden questions, one even saying this to the attorney general. >> thank you for putting up with us today. american people are watching. they know what's going on here. this is a gross misuse of your

time, your team's time and our time. >> on the hunter biden front we learn he wanted to make his first appearance on federal gun charges remember indicted last week virtually but a judge in delaware said no, you have to come in person. therefore, hunter biden will com to court and is expected to show up before a judge in federal court in delaware on tuesday, october 3rd. according to his attorney, he will plead not guilty. charles. charles: thanks a lot david did the hearing expose that justice department does have a double standard or not let's ask form or prosecutor katy -- katy, a lot of fireworks, obviously, there. but also there were a lot of time when is garland he seemed -- he really didn't step up. he didn't give us answers he ran out the clock a few times as well. j well i guess now that we have seen what the doj can do with the broob rei investigation with

the menendez case there's no question there's a double standard here or whatever you want to call it. but clearly merrick garland was playing coy and did nothing to clarify very obvious concerns that many americans have with the way that the biden investigations has been handled and we're left essentially in same place that i think we started with we see a double standard. >> we see a double standard i think to your point also nation is ripped -- sort of torn apart on this. two part for you right someone in this profession watching it deteriorate over ideology things like that this is a pillar of our nation we can't be heading in the reeght direction. >> well i think that is dis disappointing to see professionals to take lack of justice regardless who defendants are regardless of what the identity of people involved are. ening that's ultimately what we want here is honesty and

integrity and fairness. charles: what do you think you heard representative jordan allude to the tax part of this. the gun charge, it was sort of, you know, get out of jail card free -- aspect of it. the tax implications i still wonder and hope we get more on that because there are a lot of unanswered questions there. >> i think exactly right. when you start to look at hunter biden finances the taxes, source of funds, any of the issues in that respect whatsoever you get very quickly down a path where you need to have questions answered from joe biden himself. so certainly that seems to be the obvious issue with pursuing any of those potential charges even further. the gun charges are distinctly removed from that that doesn't require david wise to get into questions because it is a quick keel you can easily conduct further investigations into the source of funds. but again, that leads directly to the president in many respects. charles: let me ask you also

about new jersey democrat senator bob menendez charged on broob bribery charges but right now new jersey democrat governor phil murray calling for him to resign where do you see this going? >> oh, indictment against him is very damming, obviously, presumed obvious present an spladges as to why it is not as bad as it looks. but a i am not so sure how easy that's going to be. and again, even to tie this back into the biden cases -- it clearly shows how significantly sophisticated the fbi is the doj is when it comes to investigating. they got dna off of the gold bars in the home. we still don't have dna off the cocaine bag in the white house so i don't know how they can -- with a straight face come forward with this indictment without answering those questions. on the outstanding broob rei or potential bribery investigation that we know exist out there. charles: i'm not a lawyer i'll

throw out a theory on this i think they'll go after him very hard in part because of the thoroughness of the investigation but also to say hey listen there's not a two tear justice system we went after one of them and we slammed a book on him. >> i guess that is something they can lean back on but when you have somebody with a significant criminality against them and again, this series of criminality actually started mere months after acquitted on other corruption charges so you have to wonder about character of this individual. but certainly i guess the democrats can lean back on that to some extent but this case is damming. they investigated it thor roarly and haven't done the same thing in the biden case and they, obviously, followed through with that in the menendez case. charles: yeah last case was settled he went to ihop met his future wife and here we are -- >> back at it. charles: katy thanks a lot. it is not just garland in the hot seat this week, lawmakers
