10:01 am
on illegal migrants in the lone star state, pushing the crisis west the california. welcome to "fox news live," i'm jacqui heinrich. jan than: and i'm jonathan hunt some local residents are calling for governor gavin newsom to come see the influx for himself. national correspondent griff general since -- jenkins is live in jacumba, california, with the latest on this evolving border crisis. >> reporter: hey, jonathan, and we had the border patrol just showing up here in jacumba, about 60 miles east of san diego. you can see border patrol is lining up, and what's significant about what you're looking at a, jonathan, if we can take the drone shot as well, i believe, now over this group of 50-70. you've got one lone border patrol agent having to deal with 50 plus people. there are some chinese in this group, but there are also those from as far far as a guinea in africa, ecuador, we if rue, brazil and colombia -- we true,
10:02 am
and they're going to be processed, ultimately some buses will come and get them. but the story out here, jonathan, is the 500% increase in chinese nationals. take a look here. you can see some footage we've shot over the last couple of days. massive groups of chinese. yesterday 121, the day before 212 chinese. of the 20,000 chinese nationals that have crossed since the fiscal year began on october 1st, more than 90% of them have come to this sector. and the local residents are upset about it, they want gavin newsom to come here and see it firsthand, and they want him to do manager about it. and they're -- something about a it, and they're concerned about the possible national security threat. listen here. >> they're bringing 'em in. now they're within. they can attack us at any time. so that the scares me on that part. and that's not only the chinese. they're coming from all over parts of the world with. >> they're here by design.
10:03 am
i mean, why would they send them over, that many -- thousands of them? if now the chinese, this last two, three months it's been nothing but chinese. >> reporter: now, that couple, johnny and priscilla, live on the actual land where you're seeing some of those chinese migrants being apprehended. and and they say that they worry getting woken up in the middle of the night when the cartels push these groups through that they could come into their home, perhaps if steal something, and they don't like it. they want the officials to do something. i'll finally just add this. they both said they're impressed at the job governor abbott has done for the state of texas. they hope governor newsom will do a similar thing here in california. jonathan? john jonathan: we shall see. you shut down one part of it and the migrants just move to another place along that 2,000 miles of the u.s.-mexico border. griff jenkins, thank you so much. jacqui: all right. for more on this and the impeachment proceeding against
10:04 am
homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas, we are joined by house homeland security vice chair and impeachment manager, republican from mississippi if michael guest. congressman, thanks so much for being here. >> thanks for having me back on. jacqui: thank you, especially on a saturday. obviously, big news that the house followed through with its promise to impeach dhs secretary mayorkas, but what we're hearing in the senate is that this is going nowhere. and i want to read to you what senator manchin said. he said, we would dismiss it, yes. i think there's the votes for that. i just want to get rid of it as quick as possible. you go down that path, that's a slippery slope. you would never stop. so because you're leading this effort, when it heads over to the senate, what do you do when they've already decided this is not going to be a trial that the hours sees as warned? >> well, it's discouraging to hear those words and to hear that it seems like many of our senators have already predetermined this case without
10:05 am
hearing any evidence. you know, the senate is a body of tradition. traditionally, once articles of impeachment has gone over to the senate, the senate has allowed house impeachment matters to conduct a trial in the matter before they formulate an opinion and actually make a ruling as to whether or not officer as or elected officials should be impeached. so to hear that is very discouraging because i think, clearly, there is a factual and and a legal basis to remove secretary mayorkas. jacqui: the argument against the impeachment coming from democrats and the administration is that this would be unconstitutional in the sense that impeachment is not allowed if it's based on policy disagreements. and their position is that mayorkas was just carrying out the policy of the administration. what is your answer to that, and what do you say to those who call it a slippery slope? >> you know, clearly this is not just a policy disagreement.
10:06 am
the articles of impeachment lay out very clearly that secretary mayorkas did not follow the law, particularly the immigration nationalization act. section 235, section 212 requiring the secretary to the to remove and detain inmates, that requires inmates who are released into the interior be based on a case by case basis versus the mass parole that we've seen this administration conduct. and then if you look at article a ii, article ii deals with the fact that secretary mayorkas has breached the public trust. and if part of that breaching the public trust is secretary mayorkas' repeated lying to congress. president biden didn't come to congress. president biden didn't make those lies before the committee when he was sworn under oath. those lies were made strictly by secretary mayorkas. secretary mayorkas has the duty and responsibility by law to secure the border. he has failed to do so. he cannot rely some sort of -- that he was following the orders of the president. and if that were to be the case, then president biden would be an
10:07 am
accomplice to what secretary mayorkas a had done. so if that is what the democrats are trying to hang their hat on as to whew these articles need to be dismissed, i would tell you that is a misstatement of the law, and i wholeheartedly disagree with those statements. jacqui: well, you know, the president's own words when i talked to him in the east room after an event a couple of weeks ago, asked him if he thought the border was secure, he said, no, and he hadn't believed it for the last ten years. obviously, that conflicts with what secretary mayorkas said under oath any number of times, that the border was secure. more broadly, what is your strategy going to be in trying to convince your democratic colleagues in the senate to follow through with this impeachment, and does the increased pressure that democrats seem to be admitting do now -- to now that something's got to be done about the border at all play into your strategy? >> well, first, it is nice to see that the a democrats finally are worried about the crisis that we've seen along the southwest border for the last three years. it seems to be ironic that it
10:08 am
only happens during an election year. if this was the top issue on the ballot, democrats suddenly become concerned about it. last year there were over 3 million immigrants who came across our border, the southern or northern border. that is a larger number than the population of the state that i represent, the state of mississippi. if how are we going to prove this case? we're going to put forth a cause and effect. we're going to show that secretary mayorkas inherited one of the most secure borders in modern history. that under his leadership and inability, a refusal to enforce the law that we now have a humanitarian crisis that we see, and we're going to show that the effects of those are we have financial impact on communities across the country as they struggle to house, field and educate migrants. -- feed and educate migrants. we've seen a number of high profile cases in new york where immigrants have committed violent acts. and there is a public health impact in the fact that the leading cause of death in america for individuals 18-45
10:09 am
is, in fact, drug overdose. most of those relating back to the use of fentanyl which pours as cross our southern border each and every day. jacqui: this is, of course, happening against the backdrop of a lot of criticism over the leadership in the house and you and your with republican colleagues for not moving forward with the nat bill that would have -- senate bill that would is have overhauled the border in a lot of ways and also aa chiefed what a lot of folks are eager to get done in terms of providing aid to israel, ukraine and the indo-pacific. how are, how do you plan to argue that getting rid of the guy in charge at the border should happen and should be the focus right now when speaker johnson has, you know, rejected this bill that came over from the senate and called for h.r. 2, but h.r. 2, obviously, as we've seen for many, many months is not going anywhere. >> you know, i think it's, again, highly ironic that now as
10:10 am
a we're approaching a presidential election we see that the democrats are finally concerned about the border. you're right, you know, you talk about h.r. 2, last year republicans passed what i believe would be the strongest border security bill in history, and we sent that to the democrats, and that bill has sat on chuck schumer's desk for almost a year now. he's not amended the bill, he's not taken up, he's just allowed that bill to sit there. the other thing that republicans did last fall is we passed our appropriations package dealing with homeland security. in that appropriations package, we had funding for a record number of border patrol agents, 22,000. we had in that appropriation package an increase in detention beds, an increase from 25,000 to 41,500. there was money in there for technology, money in there for merit pavement so the republicans have put their money where their mouth is in the fact that we have passed legislation
10:11 am
both authorizing additional mandatory the requirements at the border and then funding that, and we've also passed aid to israel that we sent to the senate months ago. again, aid that chuck assumer refuse -- chuck schumer refuses to bring up for a vote. jacqui: as you mentioned a couple of times, you're heading into an election, and there is the risk, people have voiced that if you don't find compromise in some way, you know, this chamber's going to be looked as at -- at as impossible or unable, rather, to get anything done except for their sort of absolute positions on things. we are in very narrow margins, very politically-divided time. what do you make of this new effort in the house to come up with a different strategy than the option that was passed over from the senate to try to address the border and this foreign aid package? what do you make of that a bill? >> i do hold out optimism that
10:12 am
the legislation is being floated will at least be considered by leadership. as a it relates to foreign aid a, it strips out much of the humanitarian aid. it relates only to lethal aid to ukraine, to israel, support of taiwan. the package is much more narrowly tailored, it's the been substantially -- spends substantially less money. and if also i think what has been floated in the house would actually go a long way towards securing the border. i was not impressed by the policy changes that were recommended by the senate. i don't believe personally that those policy changes would have substantially impacted the crisis that we've seen at the border. so i hope that we as republicans in the house, that our leadership will look very closely at the legislation that is being proposed, see if that legislation could be changed and tweaked, but i would love to see a bill that would pass out of the house that has lethal aid for our allies and that also would successfully secure the
10:13 am
border. of let's send that back to the senate and let's see what chuck schumer and the democrats in the senate choose to do with that. jacqui: we'll continue to watch it. congressman michael guest, really appreciate your time on this saturday. thanks so much for coming on. >> thank you. have a great day. jacqui: you too. jonathan: former president trump calling out the judge and new york attorney general for corruption and what he says is playing politics after the court ruled to fine him more than -- 354 million -- $354 million and bar him from doing business in the state for 3 years. c.b. cotton is live in new york with the latest. hello, c.b. >> reporter: hi, jonathan. we've got some protesters out here at trump tower that are happy about this $364 million verdict that will only grow because of interest. judge arthur engoron wrote in a 92-page opinion that former president donald trump and his son engaged in a years-long
10:14 am
financial scheme to defraud banks and insurers. and he said is they showed no remorse in doing so. so now mr. trump is barred from doing business in new york for three years, and a monitor will continue to oversee the trump companies for at least three, removing control from the trump family. edge ron ruled trump he didn't find mr. trump to be a credible witness writing, quote, overall donald trump rarely responded to the questions asked, and he frequently interjected long, irrelevant speeches on issues far beyond the scope of the trial. his refusal to answer the questions directly or in some cases at all severely compromise his credibility. trump's sons donald jr. and eric must pay over $4 million each, and they too are barred from doing business in the state for two years. the former president slammed the ruling as a sham. >> you build a great company,
10:15 am
there was no fraud. the banks all got their money, 100%. they love trump. they testified that trump is great, great customer, one of do our customers. they testified beautifully. >> reporter: meanwhile, attorney general letitia james called it a massive victory. >> donald trump may have authored "the art of the deal," but he perfected the art of the steal. this long-running fraud was intentional, egregious, illegal, and he did it all -- [inaudible] >> reporter: former president donald trump? his attorney have vowed to appeal which will likely take years for this case. jonathan. jonathan: c.b., great job dealing with the news outside -- noise outside trump tower. jacqui: a massive explosion in northern virginia are left one firefighter dead and several
10:16 am
others injured in a home that was left in pieces. 345dson scarpino has the latest on this developing and sad story. >> reporter: yeah, a really scary situation for everybody involved in the house, in that neighborhood if that's right outside of d.c. it's absolutely demolished. firefighters received a 911 call from somebody who smelled gas, and they got to the house, they found a 500-gallon propane tank with a leak. the catastrophic explosion happened shortly after the firefighters discovered the leak. some were inside the home during the blast, and and some got trapped under debris. the fire department says 45-year-old husband and father of three trevor brown was killed in the explosion. we don't know how he died yet. he was a volunteer firefighter who worked for the county for the last eight years. eleven first responders and two civilians went to the hospital for injuries. >> it's a huge physical and
10:17 am
emotional toll on everyone associated with the fire department. obviously, the people who are trapped, the rescuers that are going in to try and pull them out, the incident commander. >> reporter: you can see that huge cloud of smoke around the house, fire trucks lining the street, debris piles everywhere. this blast rattled the neighborhood, and some are now worried the same thing could happen at other houses. >> it's super frightening, and i think everyone now who has gas lines, which i guess we all do, we're not even sure about the logistics of that. now we're all wondering, okay, is it safe? >> reporter: all of this still turned investigation, and we're expecting more details on this from the fire marshal. jacqui: madison scarpino, thanks so much. jonathan: we are, of course, just one week out from the south carolina gop primary. we'll have the latest from the campaign trail. that's next.

in l.a.. thank you very much. jeff for more on president biden's visit to east palestine, with us today is ohio secretary of state frank if larose and democratic analyst ari aramesh. thank you both for being with us. frank, i want to start with you. i want to note that a you're on the campaign trail. you're obviously making a senate bid out there in ohio. but the president's visit was widely panned as coming far too late,he got a bit of a wristly reception. do you think any minds were changed by his visit? >> no, i don't think so. he was a day late and a dollar short. it was a well known liberal, wood key allen, that said 80% of success is showing u. so i guess biden gets an f. -listen, the president needs to be there to help coordinate responses. when i was there in east palestine just a few weeks ago, i was hearing from if people that are still living with the ramifications of this. doris, a widow, is having financial difficulties. chad, the village administrator, had no idea who to call at the
10:34 am
white house because they hadn't bothered to show up. jacqui: i want to pray before we get to you, ari, what the president said in east palestine, because i want you to react to it. listen to in this. >> -- obligation and that's to stay here as long as it takes to get everything done and be sure no one's left behind. in moments like this -- jacqui: the criticism though also is he arrived there without delivering on what the residents have been continuing to call for, which is a disaster declaration that would help with relocation expenses and continued, or you know, medical help for all of the fallout that is still happening a year later. why come to east palestine and say that without that in hand? >> no, he should have done that. he should have come in with full hands. but the president and this administration, the department of transportation and secretary buttigieg, homeland security and fema, federal emergency management, they've done plenty, and they should do more. the problem is when you have crises like this whether it's
10:35 am
it's an earthquake or tsunami or a derailment of a train that goes off the rails because, as the president said, because of greed, there's never enough. you've got to do more and more and more. but here's the thing, the president went this year as opposed to last year because there's no longer a train wreck sitting there with chemical fumes and venoms and toxins out there. that's one issue. but secondly, everybody this year's going to make everything about the campaign, about the election. it's the sort of silly season of campaigns, and we're going to have to deal with it. what the president should do is this: we have to invest in infrastructure. democrats want to invest in infrastructure, and republicans don't. and those are good union jobs that go to ohio, go to pennsylvania, go to michigan. and we should focus on that. jacqui: well, the president's visit was a little bit oddly timed, in my view, because he, you know, is going to a red county in a red state, and it was right on the heels of this hur report that was, you know,
10:36 am
widely criticized be by the house as being improper in its discussion about the president's age, and the white house actually after all the media had seemed to move on from the that story because we had this news about a national security threat which turned out to be a russian nuclear capability in space with far-reaching implications, then the white house counsel's office sends this letter to media outlets criticizing our coverage. quote: many outlets have misrepresented the report's conclusion about the president and reporters in the white house briefing room have asked questions that include false content or are based on false premises. frank, what is your take on why the white house wants to go down this road, and is it dangerous given that this president has said that he would have hands off the doj? >> you know, it's really just part of this ongoing weaponization of the justice system. we see it with this 4th amendment -- 14th amendment to
10:37 am
keep president trump off the ballot, and we're seeing it now with a very clearly politicized doj. listen, you can't be both incompetent to stand trial and competent enough to be the commander in chief at the same time. and i for one am one that believes inning obviously, protecting classified information. i've had a security clearance since i was 20 years old. these are not just documents, they're sources, methods, america's secrets that need to be protected, but there is clearly a two-tiered system of justice occurring here. jacqui: we're running out of time, but i want to get your response, ari, and and i also want to note i did read the report, it is 400 pages long, and it doesn't say the president was too feeble to stand trial. it does say the evidence led them not to pursue charges. but that was, you know, widely overshadowed by a lot of the commentary in the report. so, you know, ari, what do you think the president should have done in order to move on from this? if don't you think that it continues to harm him the longer we're talking about it? >> it was no place of special
10:38 am
counsel hur to talk about the president's mental capabilities and cognitive abilities and so on and so forth. that just went beyond the pale. but let's face it, there is no two-tiered justice system in this country. we have a president who, yes, kept this classified information, but he cooperated with the special counsel every step of of the way. we have a former president who takeses classified information, defies the national archives, defies the department of justice, defies subpoena after subpoena after subpoena until the fbi comes knocking at his door. there is a reason that trump is having such a difficult time because, a, he's not taking it seriously. the cases he is taking seriously, you know, he's never been with cooperative. it's not a good year for president trump and the justice system. jacqui: i'm sorry, we've got to leave it there. appreciate both of you coming on. there's a lot of opinions on this, and, you know, the willful retention is what people continue to sort of mine in this report. a lot more discussion warranted
10:39 am
there. frank, ari, thank you both for being here. appreciate it. jonathan. jonathan: thank you. now let's turn back to capitol hill and the potential upcoming impeachment trial against dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas. we're joined now by democratic congresswoman from nevada and member of the of foreign affairs committee, dina if titus. congresswoman, thank you so much for being here. we had on your republican colleague in the house earlier, congressman michael guest, one of the impeachment managers as you well know, who said there is a factual and legal basis for the impeachment of al alejandro mayorkas and, therefore, the senate must hold a trial. i assume you would strongly disagree. >> yes, i would. i serve on the homeland security committee with mr. guest, and we went through day-long into the night hearings. they brought no real evident9 share witnesses -- evidentiary witnesses. it was just more kind of political stunt witnesses and
10:40 am
did not prove the case for impeachment. you know, this is the first cabinet person to be impeached since the mid 1800s. >> yeah, i think it's since 1876 or 1896 if i'm correct. but i want to move on because we're a little pressed for time here, congresswoman. i want to get to the important matter of the foreign aid bill. it appears the senate version is dead on arrival in the house. now some of your colleagues are putting forward this option of a $66 billion bill that focuses on military aid, also focuses on the border. no humanitarian aid for ukraine or, indeed, for gaza. is it a good bill? will you support it? >> well, i haven't read it, so i'm not going to commit to supporting it. i supported the bill that came out of the senate because it did have assistance for gaza. it had funding for taiwan and for israel and for ukraine. but remember, that's not money that a goes to those countries,
10:41 am
it's money that builds us new equipment and then we send our old equipment to ukraine. so we'll have to see. but the speaker has been told by marjorie taylor greene and that faction of maga republicans that if he brings that to the floor with any money for ukraine, he will introduce a motion -- she will introduce a motion to vacate the chair. so he's afraid of them, so i don't think it may even come to the floor. jonathan: really in that's interesting. congresswoman, just looking at the situation in ukraine that we're hearing from volodymyr zelenskyy and we see the ukrainian troops pulling out of one eastern ukrainian city because they are exhausted by the fight. they a say they're running out of ammunition, isn't there a really good argument for a bill that gets military aid a and lets deal with the humanitarian -- humanitarian aid, let the ngos provide it for the moment and get to that later? we need to shore up ukraine right now, don't wesome. >> we absolutely do.
10:42 am
and the people who don't know history and don't know that putin will go to ukraine and then he'll go to moldova and then hungary and the baltics, push across europe again, are just -- aren't aware of what a threat he is not just to ukraine, but to democracy in general. so we need to get that funding for ukraine. but there's no simple bill that just says funding for ukraine, so you may think we need to do it, but the speaker is not bringing that a because of the political pressure from those maga republicans. and trump has said is don't pass any immigration are reform. first they wanted that, now they don't. we're at home because we couldn't get anything done, so they just sent is us home. we don't need to wait two weeks. ukraine needs our help now. israel needs the help now. and with all the saber rattling by china in the pacific, taiwan needs help as well. jonathan: congressman, i'm glad
