yout can say secretary mayorkas lied. you can't say secretary mayorkas is a liar. you can say i don't think this is a waste of time and i'm offended when someone suggests it is and waste of time. i think making that point clear is that important for the whole committee picked mr. bishop directness. >> 101. at the outset the reiki member said he was embarrassed that we would undertake this hearing, that it was so worthless it was embarrassing to him that witnessed responded to it because it was intact on that witness. ed witness on this panel and every member on the side of the dais. i wouldo like to know by a memr of congress because he sits up here at this dais can feel free to disrespect people on the, who, at our invitation to testify by declaring what they have to say about youth being killed by fentanyl poisoning across this country, that that is not work this committees time response to that is objecting to put all say another thing, and every hearing i've attended you were witness has testified to address the remarks to the chairman and the reiki member i've

>> i think this ask a misguided attempt to try to impeach mayorkas.y disagreement, as has been said. but the hard right flank of the house republican caucus, they want a scalp, and they want mayorkas. i remember jim jordan in 2016 wanted to impeach the irs commissioner. we killed that. i suspect this is not going to go anywhere, because this is simply a policy disagreement, they're free to contest the policy with the secretary, but also disrupt the house. you would have to go to a trial, and i don't think they have the votes. so i think it's a total mistake, a distraction from the issues people care about, the economy, crime, border security itself. >> jamal, today mitch mcconnell said republicans launching an impeachment inquiry into joe biden would not be good for the country. does that surprise you? >> no, it doesn't surprise me. i think senator mcconnell and joe biden seem to have a good working relationship. again, where is the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors. if the republicans want to investigate somebody, they should look at governor

thank you for being here today, secretary mayorkas. the good men and women of the department will not be disheartened by what they hear today. if confidence they will not let these baseless attacks deter them from their commitment to the work that is so essential to the safety of our nation. with, that i think the chairman and i yield back. >> gentlemen yields back, without objection, they will now be entered at the record. we now welcome secretary, america's secretary of the department of homeland security, is sworn in on february 2021. we welcome our witness thank him for appearing today. we'll begin by swearing him in, today you please rise and raise your right hand. do you swear under perjury -- cracked information and so help you god? let the record reflect the witness answered in the affirmative. mr. mayorkas, you know how this goes, do the several times. he'd get approximately five minutes for that many. statement we got written statement, last night i read through, it but we look for dear remarks and that will go right into que

mayorkas? or is that president biden? or is it congress? who is responsible for this? >> congressman, the criminal who committed the act is responsible. i look forward to working with you, to address the scourge of fentanyl that's causing so much devastation and death. i look forward to working with you to fix what's long been a broken immigration system. >> i hear you, but let me say this, sir, and you are aware of this as well. this administration has created two things on the southern border, drug deals and human trafficking. and if the policies of this administration because we talked about it earlier in here and you said four to $5,000. yeah, that's just south of the u.s. southern border. in arizona, 109 different countries came through that small town -- they are paying the cartels seven or $8,000. here, paying $19,000. so, the cartels are getting rich and the american people are paying the price in the form of crimes and drug death. so, we can sit here and talk for four hours, three hour

biden family influence peddling, as well as the dereliction of duty you've been to border shouldal mayorkas be impeached. >> absolutely, we've called for a -- to do just that encourage house to do that, first of all, he allowed six million people to cross the border illegally under this president, now the pro-brings people cross even more officially illegally but more efficiently has something called cpb-1f can cross river in texas communicate with their border patrol to bring in more officially then rosa them that he loosened up asylum claims again six million people over 200 terrorists this year 89,000 chinese nationals crossed our border remember every day 300 americans die from fentanyl poisoning as well we have not touched on human trafficking, about what chinese nationals apprehend at the border numbers up 1300% that is staggering, do you believe that xi jinping is sending these people here to set up camp in america and wait for further direction in case there is a war what is going on? >> yeah, it is one more chinese communist party, think of cia agents those type of people infiltrat

i thing mayorkas is doing a great job. the lady, the democratic congress woman talked about the fentanyl, this is what you hear the right saying, oh, all this fentanyl coming into the united states, but where is it coming from? it's coming from legal ports of entry by who? u.s. citizens. the republicans will not say anything about that. so there's no president that has ever conquered the immigration problem that we have and i think this is just part of the house's circus they have been doing ever since they took the house with kevin mccarthy. i think mayorkas is doing a great job. he's doing the best he can. i think biden is doing a great job in the best he can and the statistics do not lie, so i think the republicans are rude, unprofessional, and continuing their huge circus that they started ever since they took the house of representatives. host: all right. cindy, norwalk, connecticut, republican. caller: good morning. thanks for taking my call. you know, it's a bad situation, and i don't think any president has handled

see if mayorkas did his homework. republicans say they have enough, he perjurred himself and created condition for disaster on the southern border. >> i think alejandro mayorkas more than made the case for impeachment, he lied to me under oath, lied to senate under oaths, i think he lied to me under oath and made the case for impeachment. >> lucas: secretary mayorkas has been one of willful -- federal judge says it is a problem ruling tuesday biden administration asylum rules violate federal law. that policy white house claims helped bring down number of migrants since title 42 ended. this has not happened in this country since 1876. >> carley: lucas tomlinson, we appreciate it. over to senior meteorologist janice dean with our fox forecast. >> janice: sorry, i was sitting there relaxing. >> carley: got the maps ready, let's do this. >> janice: ready for heat across the northeast? it has been good, right? >> steamy, but nice. >> janice: area of high pressure will move across the mid-atlantic and northeast and bring su

number one, alejandro mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security. believe they should impeach him today, right now. his conduct has been atrocious, it's created the worst humanitarian crisis on our southern border in the list erie of our -- history of our nation. 7 million if illegal aliens, 853 migrants died last year crossing illegally, over 1000,000 americans died of drug overdoses. the body bags are piling up x they need to impeach mayorkas because he is utterly defying federal law. that's number one. the second impeachment inquiry that should be opened is of the attorney general, and the reason is simple. the irs whistleblowers, if their testimony is accurate, then merrick garland committed multiple felonies. now, it may not be accurate, that's why it needs to be an inquiry, he deserves the chance to present a defense, but if what they alleged is true, than the attorney general lied under oath to congress in response to questioning from me and actively engaged in obstruction of justice. both of those are felonies for which he should be impeache

secretary mayorkas will be in front of you and your colleagues this morning answering questions.d that he is displayed dereliction of duty, some calls to impeach him. do you think there are things he could have done better? >> you know, the biden administration and secretary mayorkas inherited a broken system, and for context, the increasing numbers of migrants arriving at our nation's southern border began under the trump administration. the only drop in crossings happened during covid when the globe shut down, basically, and those numbers went back up a couple of months later long before the presidential election, even longer before president biden was inaugurated. this is all a distraction tactic to so -- so that republicans have something to give the american people to focus on and it's kevin mccarthy reward to his most extreme members of the republican party. >> the border crossings, illegal border crossings, spike more after biden took office. we have seen them down 42% in june since this policy was put in place, but now it may go away. we will watch the hearing closely and

that alone is a reason for us to impeach mayorkas. enough of playing games.be removed out of office. he has just done too much harm to our country. and doesn't deserve to be in that position anymore. >> ainsley: i understand that you have a big announcement for us that you wanted to announce on "fox & friends." what is it? >> i'm announcing for congress. we are taking back our seat. texas district 34. i'm very excited and i have a lot of faith in god and my family and my amazing team that we will flip this district and take back what is ours in 2024. the people of south texas, the american people, deserve to have a voice in washington. we want to empower our border patrol agents, strengthen our border security. of course, our economy as well. and protect the children like i mentioned before that are being trafficked in this country right now. we are the number one in child sex trafficking. we have to put an end to this. and if we want to eradicate child trafficking, we need to hold accountable the biden administration for losing track of 85,000 children aroun

thank you, secretary mayorkas for your public service and now the republicans want to impeach you?ck with that one. >> and neil, the house is now in august recess, so if there were to be an inquiry, it wouldn't happen till at least very earliest in september. neil? >> neil: thank you for that. the texas sheriff, always good having you on. thank you for taking the time. >> thanks for having me here today. >> neil: let me ask you about this back and forth on mayorkas getting impeached, that he's got to go. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, he's not doing the job he was hired to do. he's not enforcing immigration law. but if they impeach him, and he's removed, they are going to stick another lame duck in there, so kind of on the fence on that. >> neil: this other move that the administration is taking, i guess, through the doj, it's filing this preliminary injunction requesting that these floating river barriers in the rio grande be removed. what do you think of that? >> well, when texas joined the union, part of that promise was to protect our borders. at this point in time, t
