elizabeth: so why not do what democrat henry cuellar of texas is saying, vice president harris?u what's going on. whew aren't they showing up in. >> yeah. you u know, my -- henry cuellars my neighbor to the south, and we see it very similar on this issue, you know? securing our border is absolutely critical to our districts. i'd argue that the every city and every state is a border city and border state the whether that's the fentanyl and the drugs that are coming over, whether that's the over 800,000 illegal immigrants that are having to be displaced and sent all over the country or whether that's the 80,000 unaccompanied children. they're not just -- they're not staying in texas. they are literally going to all 50 states. it's encouraging to see governor desantis and others kind of lend a hand in this fight and. it really feels as if texas alone on this issue, and it shouldn't be that way. you know, the federal government, joe biden inrn particular, caused this problem. and it's really only when the federal government kind of reverses some of their issues is when they're going

texas's henry cuellar, and what has he heard back? vice-president harris over her absence. the latest bill. >> yeah, charles, good morning to you. we're coming on about three months since vp harris has been appointed the border czar, if you will. she has not come down here and looked at the surge which continues to get worse every day. if you like a look at video of her, what vp harris has done, she wants to focus on the root of the crisis, in honduras, el salvador and guatemala. she visited guatemala and looked at an anti-corruption task force and the u.s. would give more money, but several gaffes with the media when asked when she hasn't come down here yet and house republicans had enough. 56 of them signed a letter and sent it to president biden saying you need to remove her from the border czar position immediately. take a listen. >> for the good of the families of those whose loved ones have died of drug abuse, for the good of future americans who require a secure border, please, president biden, take kamala harris off the point

henry cuellar is asking why she isn't coming to the border. lester holt from nbc during her trip to central america and wasn't ready for the question. they're trying to paint it as being a conservatives and conservative media and republicans are pushing the story. it is not. it's mainstream media. democrats and republicans are wondering why the vice president won't do her job. >> harris: we've talked about it before and ownership of the issue. after 8 days who owns this disaster the slow response from the vice president? will it get to the president? >> first of all, people keep asking why kamala harris go to the border. why doesn't the president of the united states go to the po she is just his deputy. he is the commander-in-chief and supposed to be the one constitutionally responsible. why won't he rst of all, if either of them had gone at the very start of the crisis no one would be asking why haven't you gone to the border. they would have done it. number two they would have gone a fact finding information on how to deal with the crisis. a

henry cuellar says somebody needs to listen to our local communities. we'll see what changes.t. thanks, congressman. thank you. >> thank you. >> sandra: goldman sachs welcoming back all staff today as facebook tells folks that they're welcome to stay at home. should workers in this post pandemic environment have the choice? and later on, white house democrats -- while house democrats remain divided after comments from congress woman ilhan omar, house republicans are moving to censure here. why michael waltz is leading that charge. he is here on that and what president biden just said on russia. eatest challenge ever. but i've seen centuries of this. with a companion that powers a digital world, traded with a touch. the gold standard, so to speak ;) they said it couldn't be done but you managed to pack a record 1.1 trillion transistors into this chip whoo! yeah! oh, hi i invested in invesco qqq a fund that invests in the innovators of the nasdaq 100 like you you don't have to be circuit design engineer to help push progress forward can i hold the chip? become an agent of innova

henry cuellar joins us now.ll vowing to block the bill where does it go. >> i got to thank senator manchin for meeting with my former colleagues in the state legislature. and we had a very good conversation. he laid out a plan how he had been talking to republicans. but i assume what happened was senator manchin probably doesn't want any compromises, just pure political force that he is trying to use to stop any voting rights legislation, which is just amazing to me, to be honest with you, because i thought that joe manchin was coming up with something that would appeal to the republican senators. but they're playing pure republican politics on this without a doubt. >> so given mcconnell's response, do you think senator manchin is moving closer to supporting blowing up the filibuster on this issue for voting rights? >> well, i mean, i think this is something that you probably have to ask the senator. i don't want to speak for him. but i do want to say this, because it was brought up in the conversation, is that,

otherwise she shouldn't have been appointed border czar. >> that was henry cuellar telling neil cavutorris is still not coming to the border. meanwhile, georgia is stepping up to help with the border. first, we're live in texas with more at the border. bill? >> jerry, good afternoon. human smugglers continue to benefit the most from this crisis. this weekend we had the chance to embed with texas state troopers that brought us to roma, texas. take a look at this wild video that we shot from romo, about an hour west of where we are. in the middle of the night, we went out and watched as human smugglers brought raft after raft of migrants across the rio grande from the mexican side and dropped them off on the american side, this happened over and over and over. literally a ferry service for these smugglers. and the smugglers had no fear hoff being caught. they dropped these folks off yard away from border patrol, state troopers and national guard. they were laughing, joking, took their head coverings off. they had no fear of being caught. this shows you how brazen they are. they talk abou

elizabeth: the polls show that now we have democrat representative henry cuellar of texas baking kamalaening is hampering what border patrol needs to do and following the laws that congress wrote and threatening and putting american citizens and surrounding communities in serious danger. >> representative cuellar understands what's at stake he knows republican was just elected mayor in the city of mcallen, that does not happen in that particular area of the united states, he knows he could be in trouble going into 2022, democrats are vulnerable going into 22 because of this issue in this issue alone and he wants it to be fixed yet the administration is not doing anything. elizabeth: trump is ready to proxy spoke at a north carolina republican event, he's expected to hold rallieson in ohio latern june and in florida inun early july, he's basically going to be goading and pushing on the biden administration saying you been derelict in you duty in terms of protecting the country, what happens if the president and vice president say nothing in response. >> it's going to hurt them going into

texas democrat henry cuellar sending a letter to biden's bored czar.egging vice president kamala harris to go to the border. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪. elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. stocks closed down as the federal reserve said it would raise rates in 2023. that is faster than expected in order to combat, fight against rising inflation. the market also watching president biden's first face-to-face meeting with russia's leader vladmir putin. hours before that russia, military exercise hundreds of miles off the coast of hawaii. the u.s. air force scrambled f-22 stealth fighters from hawaii in response. china also showing a show of force and hardware, sending a record number of military planes into taiwan's airspace. let's get to connell mcshane live in geneva with more on the summit today. connell. reporter: there were claims from both sides, liz, the day was relatively successful from their point of view. after three hour plus meeting between president biden and president putin, putin a he merged

i was with henry cuellar in laredo. center like the one she's going to, where you have barely running water, inadequate facilities, and so forth, and so i think this is an opportunity for vice president harris and the administration to really work on changing those conditions and making the conditions particularly at the cpp processing centers much more humane for these human beings who are seeking asylum and i think that's part of what she'll do. >> i'm not sure if we still have the live pictures of the vice president who as we've said just landed, she is now there visiting that facility. i wonder, congressman, what do you hope to see? what do you hope to get out of her visit to your state, specifically i wonder as it comes to the messaging we've heard around immigration and what's happening at the border from republicans specifically ahead of former president trump's visit there next week. >> it's a few things. first, she went to central america recently really to make the point that i think most of us believe, which

. >> myself and other of members of congress like henry cuellar who is on the other side of the aisle worries me is now that she has visited, no that they've acknowledged that there's a border crisis, now what? every president has had to deal with immigration and border security. how is this presidency going to do it? are they going to make things worse by doing away with title 42 or are they going to work with congress in a bipartisan manner. arthel: that's what i'm asking. you have great ideas. are you going to try to get a meeting with vice president harris. >> absolutely. we pushed hard to get the administration to get involved. what i mean by we, henry cuellar, democrat south of my district, senator cornyn led the way in the senate, along with senator sinema. we have a border solutions act. the issue has been this administration has not wanted to sit down and have a discussion on it. hopefully that changes. arthel: i hope so too. former president trump will visit the border this week, wednesday, to promote the completion of his wall that president trump couldn't get built in four

henry cuellar deserves credit as a democrat. actually he probably won't get invited to the white house for a christmas party. doing great things for the country and district. that's why you get into office not to be great democrat but to represent your people and also he's watching the republicans make huge gains in that area because joe biden, he doesn't understand the american people if he thinks you just have to check a box in order to win us over. we're not stupid. we know when people are trying and failing, which we give credit for because that's what we do on a daily basis, sadly. you know, sometimes you give everything and it doesn't work out. but when you pretend that i care and pretend going to do something to be effective. we can see through it. ainsley: that takes a lot. brian: that would be by border czar. ainsley: he represents the constituents of that area and he knows what their concerns are and that's why he is speaking out not trying to be political and too long what washington tells them to do. >> steve: i woul

henry cuellar was there yesterday. we begin in aishah hasnie in texas. >> good morning.s yesterday. the day before. on the rio grande river right here looking for drug and human smugglers. what we found rather were suspected cartel scouts that were following us. want to show you this incredible video we shot. that black pickup truck you see sitting near the mexico bank starts tailing us as soon as we launch into the river. the men then follow us until they can't see us anymore. it was a little nerve racking. officers say there is a whole network of scouts that not only look at their boats and count how many bodies on board. they're also equipped to rescue migrants from the river when things like this happen. >> they are drowning. they're drowning. >> that's exclusive video from roma, texas last night where migrants were in the river screaming they were drowning. everybody survived. the smuggler pulled them to safety. we saw 100 people cross into la jolla, texas, women and children. we learn new details about a woman shot in the head and being raped near yuma, arizona. a

henry cuellar a democrat more south down in the del rio sector.tention, please come. and then the decision to go to texas was not to the area where there is a problem but to el paso in which the local congresswoman there said that el paso is the new ellis island. >> well, it is considered sort of the capital of the border but you are quite right. where she is in el paso is further away from the real action, the real flood of illegal immigration down on the south texas and rio grande valley down here mcallen is further away than you in new york are from me in washington so there is that question. one, the timing, two, the location. and, you know, nothing will get accomplished today. she is going to have been able to check the marks she went to the border but not a big change in policy. and for all the talk about the root causes and certainly in the end that has to be dealt with as long as there is hunger and violence and corruption in the northern triangle countries people will still be making their way up to the southern border. but that will take

steve: congressman henry cuellar there saying hey, where have you been the last 100 days.insley: americans when you talk about we are going to take away your gun. you can't decide what gun you are going to buy even if you are a law-abiding citizen protect your family. yet let criminals come across the border. let fentanyl come across the border. let your guns come across the border and won't stop you. brian: vaccinate you when you come. give them a good gift bag like the academy awards. steve: on the same day announce she is going to the southern border is the same day that the border patrol chief rodney scott sent out word on his social media that he had essentially been fired. they don't want him at the southern border either. he was told he has three options. relocate, resign or retire. he is going to stay on the job 60 more days to ensure a smooth transition. brian: none of those options were given to jillian mele. she just had one option just come down. jillian: come here and deliver the news which there is a lot of breaking news especially out of florida. talk about

representative henry cuellar invited vice president harris to visit writing, quote, i encourage you to join me and other members of congress while we visit with people on the ground who deal with these issues every day. i believe it is critical you meet with local, stakeholders and residents to use their lived experiences to implement more effective policies. president biden put kamala harris in charge of efforts to fix the border crisis back on march 20 fourth but so far she has not visited the border or made any public plans to do so. >> investigators need help solving the murtaugh murders. information on the killing of maggie myrtle anderson paul. the number on your screen 803, 896, 2605, the two members of a prominent south carolina family found shot to death on their stateless we globally searching the swampy area near where their bodies are found. police have not made any arrest, no suspects named. >> acting boston mayor kim janie says she does not support the death penalty for the boston marathon bomber, tweeting i remain strongly opposed to the death penalty and respect the ind

representative henry cuellar whose district includes the southern border, included vice president harrisit. he writes, quote, i encourage you to join me and other members of congress while we visit with people on the ground who deal with these issues every day. i believe it is critical local stakeholders and residents consider their concerns and use their lived experiences to implement more effective policies. president biden put kamala harris in charge of efforts to fix the border crisis back on march 20 fourth. so far she has not visited the border or made any public plans to do so. jillian: she said she would go but we haven't heard when. neil: is to gain is need help solving these murders. a set up for information on the killing of maggie murtaugh and her son paul. that is 803 haven night 6, and a swampy area near where it is found. no suspects have been named. >> the husband of maya millette disputed gun violence, he was detained illegally, all 17 of his firearms, police say somewhere unregistered or obtained illegally. my's family joined us yesterday. >> and one day out of the week

>> the congressman house appropriations committee member henry cuellar. welcome to the show. >> thank you so much. getting into. kennedy: i've said this about law enforcement in new york city policing new york city is different than any city in the country and obviously the border needs particularly our district very different than any other part of the border in the country. what are you not getting from the federal government? >> first let's start out by saying i'm glad the vice president is showing up the border. she's finally showing up and second of all it's a beautiful area to go and visit but if you want to see the surge, the surge is where the unaccompanied kids are coming and the families are coming in. i think you will see a 140% higher number down there but again i'm glad she is taking a first step. canby el paso is nice but i agree a few she should go to where the crisis really is. i've made an analogy about a trauma surgeon and if you are seeing the person with a sinus infection as opposed to someone with a gunshot when he's being helpful but

henry cuellar -- understanding the challenges faced on the ground, our government will effectively address the pull factors leading migrants to make this dangerous journey. it has been 92 days since the vice president was tapped to look at the immigration issues including the southern border. this will be her first trip, it comes two weeks or so after her visit to some of those countries in south america, guatemala and mexico to talk about the causes. jillian: you wonder if it will change anything. neil: rubio sounding off on the vice president's belated border. >> some people think there should be no border. just allow them in. any visit to the border, any visit, any efforts to stop the flow will be controversial. when she went to guatemala and said do not come, the opposite of what she set for months when running for president but when she said that there were people in her own party that went bonkers about that because that's not their attitude. their attitude is if you show up you get to stay. there are people who believe that interactive in the democratic party. >> rubio questions why

henry cuellar wondering why ? valley which is hundreds of miles to the southeast of el paso. >> even if she goes to el paso, which is a first step. she has to spend time with landowners, with stakeholders, with cities and counties officials and i hope she sits down with our brave men and women in green and in blue. our border patrol agents so they don't just get a pat on the back but actually get reinforcement and support down there. >> peter doocy from the white house with answers today. good morning to you. >> good morning. this represents a shift in the white house's approach to immigration from the vice president focusing on the root causes and not on the board. to see you in el paso. >> why is the vice president visiting the border this week when earlier this month she dismissed a trip like that saying it would be a grand gesture? >> she also said in an interview with nbc that she would be open to going to the border if it was an appropriate time. she said it after she said that. that's important context. >>

meanwhile texas rep henry cuellar in his letter to the vice president she needs to come down here.'ve seen on the ground. send it back to you. >> dana: in the dangerous heat as well. thank you. >> bill: the brother of a man killed in a mass shooting in austin, texas over the weekend is speaking out blaming the defund the police movement for hurting police efforts to fight crime in that city. 25-year-old doug cantor was visiting friends when he was shot and killed and his brother and uncle are here. i'm so sorry for your loss. you've been through a long process. what are you hearing from police and what are they telling you? >> due to the sensitivity of the investigation i'm not at liberty to discuss all the details of the case but what i can tell you guys is this was not a mass shooting. this wasn't somebody on top of a rooftop gunning people down for no reason. this was two rival members of groups that were having a problem with each other and decided that they were going to have a stand-off in the middle of a street party that my brother was attending. and my brother was caught i

it's not just republicans, it's border state democrats, like henry cuellar, the photos of a crowded facilitying "you need to do some thing about this," ask the mayor of mcallen, texas, republican win when hillary clinton won that city by 40%, and 85% hispanic population there and this idea that they keep stating, well, on one hand we don't want you to come but on the other hand, is the president of guatemala said, your policy is saying if you let kids day and families and parents day, coyotes are going to benefit from that. that's a square peg in a round hole, on one hand you can't say don't come but your policies enable that. the final thing is, when you are dealing with criminal mexican cartels making $20 million a day by trafficking which these politicians in guatemala are concerned about and the vice president is being protested today to stop funding criminality, you need tough policies to stop cartels from profiting off of this human crisis and apparently the biden administration has no interest in doing that and taking it seriously and she's the vice president of the united states comi

congressman henry cuellar said by understanding the challenges the government will address the factors this journey. looking at the root causes of migration, she went to central america, guatemala and mexico, to the border. jillian: thank you for being here, congresswoman. appreciate it. considering the former president announced she was visiting the border, listens what jen psaki says on the timing. >> the timing of this. >> the vice president making a trip to the border, looking at progress that has been made to prevent or change what the president of the united states does. jillian: what do you think of the timing? >> it is taken 100 days since the vice president was named borders are. she could've gone to the border months ago. if she would go she would have heard what i heard when i went to the del rio sector and had conversations with customs and border patrol agents which i heard earlier when you were talking about gangs overrunning law enforcement, the drugs, smuggling, go across the border. i hope that is what she hears when she goes and has these conversations but it has take

president demanding the removal of kamala harris from that role and democratic texas congressman henry cuellarhe faulkner focus" last week he asked the vice president to visit. says he is still trying and still waiting. >> i have not heard from her office. i have talked to the white house. my white house contact but i have not heard from her and again we're ready to help her in any way. this is not our first rodeo. we saw this 2014 under president obama, 2019 under president trump. there are people just coming in. if we don't take those incentives away they will keep coming. that's plain and simple. >> harris: respect to representative cuellar. this isn't like it was in 2014. it hasn't looked like this in more than 20 years. the arizona attorney general. great to have you on the program. i want to get your reaction to what we're learning and finally hearing words that we never wanted to hear and never thought we would. they're done and overwemd, the border agents. >> it is so disappointing, harris. because these folks are trying to protect us, trying to protect the entire country and if you ta

back live new information "washington post" reporting that texas democratic representative henry cuellaro come down here and visit the border. you need to see what's happening with the surge and you need to talk to the people who are being impacted by this. whether or not she will do it remains to be seen. >> harris: right now she has a group of democrats standing outside her office waiting to meet with kamala harris because they will talk about the texas election voting laws and so they want to talk more about what democrats have done to push that out of the way in texas than the huge crisis. we'll see if cuellar can get her attention. thank you very much. great reporting as always. vice president harris did visit south carolina on monday to kick off a nationwide push to vaccinate millions additional americans against the coronavirus but she still has not visited the southern border as you just saw us talking about. let's go deeper now. why it matters politically. rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel. there are politics when you lose an issue. the other side can do some things with that. what

here to discuss, henry cuellar who represents a border district.r governor says outright that your jail will require more capacity. is this the right solution? throwing more people behind bars? >> no. that's not the right approach. whether trying to build a fence on behalf of the state of texas or trying to arrest people, this is again something that the federal government should do. i think we need to do more on behalf of the federal government. i speak to the men and women in green and blue. and they're frustrated because of the large numbers of people coming in and this is just the reality that we're seeing here. >> so what do you think about what biden did with those funds that were allotted for the wall? >> the wall doesn't stop the unaccompanied kids or the family units with. a fence, they usually put a fence not at the river bank but a half mile. so it doesn't stop any of those people. i said that i'm glad the money will be going back to men and women in uniform. i'm glad. but the way we stop people is not by building a border fence. we have

being attacked by republicans, the republican house narrative is fun for the media but democrat henry cuellaris morning on "newsroom" he said her trip is a politically safe one and it's not going to do anything to give her a real piece of what's happening. >> jesse: if you going to the south side to see chicago violence, you're going to go walk by the river and tool around by the pricey shops where you like to go, greg. >> greg: is like saying like i did last year, that you went to the super bowl but you actually watched it in the hotel bar. she sitting at the hotel bar. the two i can't believe you didn't actually go to the super bowl. >> greg: is overrated. you know what at trump's to do? after she goes, cancel this trip and schedule another trip to get her to go to what looks like a crime-ridden area, trump should announce he's going to the south side of chicago just to get somebody from the biden administration to deal with the real crime. you know, it does... how much of this is defined by adversarial politics? a loyal opposition to get a stubborn bureaucrat off her butt to go down and lo

. >> today, bipartisan congressional delegation made up of representatives tony gonzalez, henry cuellarborder solutions. >> we thought it was and portends working together in a bipartisan why and in the senate in the house to come up with a solution that we think will contribute to to making progress. >> the group thanking the biden administration for announcing dedicated dockets to fast-track a silent case has, but called on the president to move the judges to border states. and they also won the administration not to lift title 42, pandemic related border restriction for adult migrants. >> imagine if you have a scenario like that -- talk to our men and women and blue and green and see what happens. you have to have a plan, you just don't give it of something without a plan paid >> in the meantime, president biden is undoing the migrant protection protocol, trump era policy which forced asylum-seekers to remain in mexico while their cases were being heard. while governor greg abbott issued a disaster declaration and 34 counties along the texas border, allowing him to send in more state

. >> shannon: so, joanna, henry cuellar, the congressman democrat from texas has been very vocal abouthing the administration. part of what we saw and heard from the vice president today was laying some of this or trying to at the feet of the trump administration. she said they inherited a terrible situation but by all metrics from nonpartisan government agencies the numbers have skyrocketed the last two months. >> yeah. i honestly think that the biden administration was pretty much blindsided by this entire patrol car. i think that they thought just basically saying we're we're not going to do what donald trump did was their immigration policy and then it turned out that there were negative consequences of all of that. and, you know, i personally i don't get some of the politics of this e particularly for kamala harris, she spent almost 100 days not going to the border, getting bad press because she wasn't going to the border. getting bad press because she had bad explanations for why she wasn't going to the border. and then she goes to the border and does a photo op. that basically s

first democratic congressman henry cuellar says president biden and vice president harris need to getvisit and when they do they need to spend some time. taking the same. >> somebody needs to listen to our local community. with all due respect, a staged visit is not enough. they have to understand. then i need to listen to me. they need to listen to other people that have lived here like myself. we have a lifetime of experience. a couple of hours doesn't substitute a lifetime of experience what we are seeing here. >> gillian: the vice president says she is going to do it but she has yet to set a date. she also appeared to get a bit defensive when a reporter held her feet to the fire. take a listen. >> vice president harris: i said i'm going to go to the border. >> what are you going to the border? >> vice president harris: i'm not finished. i said i'm going to the border. >> do you have a date? >> vice president harris: i will keep you posted. >> gillian: it has been 79 days since president biden is tasked her to spearhead efforts to tackle the crisis there. the attorney general of ar

>> look at my friend to the south henry cuellar on the other side of the aisle.e have worked together. we have a piece of legislation that helps solve this along with senator cornyn and senator sinema bipartisan bicameral piece of legislation. i would say congress is willing to do the work on our end but then there is nobody home at the administration. they have got this head in the sand, we know what's best for you and oh, by the way, we are not even going to visit you? i mean that is so disrespectful to everybody along the border. meanwhile migrants are dying at record numbers. i mean there is blood on the hands of the biden administration. ion jon let's talk a little bit about infrastructure. that's one of the big topics in washington right now and there is a -- after president biden submitted a more than $2 trillion infrastructure plan, well in the eyes of many was not entirely infrastructure. there is a slimmed down version a little under a trillion that seems to be gaining some traction. what do you think of that legislation? >> i mean, what a deal. only 1

hasn't quite been able to catch that and you had cnn criticizing her for that, they interviewed henry cuellarse district encompasses the rio grande valley and npr criticized her, i think the headline was vp harris visits the southern border after trying to keep the focus away from it and they even showed, this is npr, very much to the left on many cases and they showed mark meadows' tweet which criticized her timing of it because her announcement comes right after donald trump announced he was going to go. howie: let me ask you for short answers here, we're awaiting the presser on the florida building collapse. you anticipated the question. the timing, could it be that the vice president of the united states decided to do this because donald trump had previously announced that he's going to the border with the texas governor next week? >> i mean, it's obviously related to that you have the former president going down, all the republican congressmen, all the democratic congressmen, people asking. it's not about visiting the the border, it's about the biden administration's policies that are le

. >> congressman henry cuellar congratulations on pulling that meeting together so quickly and thanke room, we really appreciate it. and joining us now is texas state representative, gina hinojosa, she was part of the texas democrat delegation that met with vice president kamala harris at the white house today. representative, what would you say you learned that the white house today and what would you say the white house learned about the situation in texas? >> let me start by saying how humbling it is to know that while our president is a broad defending democracy, our vice president is working with us to protect our voting rights and secure democracy here, at home, because that is what is at stake, nothing less than our democracy. >> go ahead, sorry. >> and i was grateful and really honored to have an opportunity to share with her the voter suppression efforts that with our republican majority is trying to push through in texas, and our experience fighting back in texas. and to learn from her, to get inside and to learn from her which we can get at texas legislators in the trenche

we all remember last week texas democratic congressman henry cuellar sent a letter to v.p. border, take it look at it with him. talk to the people being impacted, see what's going on. well, the congressman tells fox news that his office never heard back from v.p. harris or her people. it has now been almost three months since v.p. harris was selected as the so-called border czar, still no trip to the border and it doesn't look like she has any plans. we will send it back to you. >> bret: we will continue to be there bill melugin, great reporting. thank you. up next panel on the crime wave this summer already. and the biden economy. first, beyond our borders tonight. a court in central russia arraign as suspect on murder charges in the death of an american woman who was studying at a local university. the body of 34-year-old catherine is a ryu was found saturday in a wooded area 250 miles east of moscow. she had been missing since tuesday. the state news agency says the suspect gave him a ride in his car and killed her in the course of a dispute. he faces up to life in priso

[speaking spanish] >> this as texas democratic congressman henry cuellar penned this later to kamalae border with him to see the impacts of the current surge. the crisis, he says, is only getting worse. [applause] and today florida's republican governor ron desantis announcing he is going to be sending florida law enforcement to texas and arizona to help supplement their border security. >> the state of florida is answering the call. we believe that securing the southern border is important for our country. >> meanwhile donald trump announced he will visit the border on june 30th with governor greg abbott. the former president saying joe biden's handling of the border has turned it into a, quote, unmitigated disaster zone. and new disturbing information from border patrol. the agency reporting this week right here in the rio grande valley, they arrested a convicted child rapist from peru and mexican national for conviction for sexual assault of a child. both men taken into custody after illegally crossing into the united states. >> and texas governor greg abbott went on to mention th

but now even though democrats including henry cuellar, congressman from texas has asked her to come toa downed power line in a rainstorm. she wants nothing to do with it because there is nothing good about what's going on there and she doesn't have a good explanation. she is telling us that this is a successful trip just now, she knows that's a lie. it's been a disaster for the administration. >> tammy: it has been. what's interesting this is out of the way of the barack obama playbook. they don't want to be photographyed near a disaster. obama didn't want to be photographyed with that oil rig that blew up in the gulf of mexico but you saw him walking along the beach and reporters were forbidden from taking pictures of it. they really believe, it seems, if it doesn't appear on the news or on social media then they can say it never happened. like the cat that puts its head under the curtain and think it's now disappeared from anyone ever seeing them again. if she has an entourage i have been shocked how inept her answers are and exchanges that weird laugh you would think she would be pr

when come back already pressure on her from another democrat henry cuellar he did it again in the letterlem. we are all affected. you need to see this. what is going to change? is the problem bad enough where other media outlets will actually agree that attention has to be done and so far she has failed in epic ways? >> no, they won't. they will never do that until there is not a price to be paid by a democrat, right? there is a midterm election coming up. the media we all know. it's not a secret, full-time democrat operatives, no breaking news there. but they won't do any of that because there will be a political price to pay. they should be asking, brian, cnn, if they were a legitimate news network would have a counter in the corner like they did for the coronavirus under trump days since kamala harris hasn't been to the border? they would do that if they were legitimate. if it was trump and a crisis they would. but they are not going to do that because there is a price to pay. after the midterms, who knows? maybe we will hear about it i doubt it. these aren't legitimate news organizat

ainsley: it henry cuellar is a democrat from texas.'s as outraged as anyone. >> all we can do is invite the vice president. hopefully she will come down on that. we are ready to secure the border and work with them. and we need to deport people. the people that don't belong here should be deported. >> i'm hopeful the administration will start working with us instead of -- not just affect texas in the end the entire nation and it won't be good. steve: just to show you how bad the situation variety now. you know, we have been showing you these stash houses down in texas. and then news that apparently some texas border patrol agents outside of the mcdonalds in van horn, texas they saw this big u-haul and they asked okay, you got to unlock that thing. let's see what's in there. 33 guys in there. no shirts on because it was so hot. think about it. there is no ventilation in the back of a u-haul. those people would have wound up dead given the fact that it is so ridiculously hot right now throughout the dessert southwest right through texas

democratic congressman henry cuellar sent a letter, you need to come down here as well. here on june 30th with governor abbott. governor abbott himself made his big announcement this past week saying he plans to build a texas border wall since the fed stopped building the border wall under the biden administration. the wall actually stop over right shoulder here. just stops in the middle of nowhere and migrants can walk around it. texas governor says $250 million to be used as a down payment for the wall. alicia: you spent so much time down there and you have seen signs to have cartel yourself? reporter: yeah, so on tuesday we were tipped off to a pretty wild bust of a human smuggling stash house that is cartel related. you can take a look at the video right now. 107 migrants crammed into this. it looked to be an old abandoned auto garage or something along those lines but what the cartels do, they bring them across and put them in stash houses and hold them there until they are ready to move elsewhere into the united states and what we saw spray painted on the wall ther

henry cuellar and others, a visit to the border. why is she choosing not to?ws it is a crisis that joe biden created. she doesn't want to take the media down there and highlight the problem that they have. they are not securing the border. by the way, she is not somebody that is focused on getting the results. coming on this trip -- there is no one there there. nothing happened. it is just a media opportunity that hasn't worked out. go to the border and find out what the problem is. start doing your job. >> john: she went to guatemala because she says she wants to address the root cause of immigration. she also went to mexico. but many of the people that we are seen walking across the rio grande have been from other places in the northern countries. they have been from ecuador. many have been from venezuela. some have been from african countries. by going to guatemala, are you really attacking this problem? >> first off, they caused the problem. they stopped finishing the wall. it is not just the wall itself, but the technology. i went down to the order. they

henry cuellar, a democrat, who has a border district was on a couple hours ago on the fox news channel. he said he's ready to work with the vice president when she's ready. listen. >> i've been inviting the president and vice president and hopefully they can come down to the border. >> we are ready to secure the border and work with them and we are ready to deport people. the people who don't belong here should be deported. >> sandra: why she not willing to even work with members of her own party who are dealing with this crisis? >> this has been astounding. as you know, it started after president obama did the daca executive order and then president trump started getting things in place, building the wall, working with the border patrol, giving them the technology, the more agents they needed on the ground. with the biden reversal of all of these policies, what you now have is 183,000 people that were apprehended. in the month of may. that does not include the got-aways which runs the number even higher. it's such a humanitarian crisis. it's a national security crisis. it's an environ

if the pressure came more from the left not just henry cuellar, maybe they would listen.the right. in the meantime president biden -- coming under fire. reports surfacing that tracy stone manning participated in a tree spiking incident in boise, idaho in 1989 and colluded with ecoterrorists. they demand she withdraw from the nomination. biden so far is sticking by her. where does it go next? rich edson is live at the white house tracking this today. intriguing story. >> good morning, bill. this is still up to the u.s. senate as the white house is standing by their nominee. white house official tells fox news in a statement tracy stone manning is a dedicated public service with years of experience and proven track record of finding solutions and common ground when it comes to our public lands and waters. she is exceptionally qualified to be the next director of the bureau of land management. in 1989 as a 23-year-old grad student she sent a letter to federal officials claiming that spikes had been inserted into trees in idaho warning that a lot of people could get hurt if l

will: one more quick point on henry cuellar. it's not theory for him or political philosophy. it's a quality of life issue that impacts his district on a daily basis, so we have to take a very reality-based position on this issue. pete: yeah. let's stick with theories and districts as we move to minnesota where critical race theory has invaded a lot of school districts there. ilhan omar says, no, no, no, there's none of that here. nothing to see here. she tweeted this yesterday about critical race theory, the democrat from minnesota. republicans love to create outrage over things that aren't actually happening. people should be asking them what elementary, middle school and high school is teaching critical race theory, and why are they spinning false narratives. so so she's saying, nothing to see here, folks. just like you mentioned obama, what are they talking about? when you can talk to any parent, and we've had tons of parents on this channel, you go across minnesota, there's dozens of organizations showing how embedded it is

she also chose to visit not with henry cuellar who's been begging her to come down to the rio grandenity, to the new ellis ellis island. we finally have an administration willing to tackle the big challenges, challenges that our country has dealt with for decades. and if el paso's front door is one that has always been one of dignity, humanity and compassion. rachel: what do you say to that, dan? >> yeah. the july 4th holiday is coming up, i'm headed up to new york. i'm going to discover things about the border crisis. i'll learn just as much as kamala harris has learned in el paso. i'm going to go to new york, study the border crisis up there. i'm going to see effective messaging. i read this op-ed in the "wall street journal" a couple weeks ago, it was a good one. it was talking about how to detect communist propaganda, and you always have to, what they say, read the story upside down, the author said. the chinese communeist party puts out a story, communist party rescues 8 miners. they collapsed it. you have to learn to do that with the media and the democrats. veronica escobar sa
