maria: how will you hold alejandro mayorkas to account, are we going to hear anything from mayorkas?will you hold him to account, we all know what we need to know. >> we all know that we all know it leads to mayorkas we brought them in from the border another homeland security issues he's going to come in and testify and is backward to bring in right answers come he's not going to bring in the understanding of root cause analysis to this point. i think having the operator come in and explain to us real-time what they saw the middle management folks expressing where the gaps are and what the needs are, this is what we will learn the most in the accountability of mayorkas comes when the selection is over frankly and he is either out of a job or we investigate him with president trump in the white house but squeezing mayorkas more is a fools errand at this point. maria: jonathan fahey, jumping, as much as you want to penn it on alejandro mayorkas he is also doing what is told to do. he is getting the directive from joe biden, let's not full of ourselves. >> it's amazing the way this has

you have mayorkas in front of you and point-blank saying why didn't you do this? stakes are high for both political parties and the country will fall. if providence or luck, you know, ends we've got a problem and it's a person disaster and it is. >> this can't be the road we're heading down in this country and resolve the definitionses and dd there were some reports that president trump was denied extra secret service protection. the risk is too high if that's the case. >> they don't let me talk to the president very often. larry: i'm sorry. not to make him look bad or anybody look bad but to suggest mayorkas could do it if he wanted to and maybe that's where the spotlight should be focused. >> yeah that, commit highway tee has jurisdiction and here in the senate. i would hope this is bipartisan and no reason this is a partisan endeavor and two candidates candidatesrunning for presidente was the president before and deserved this kind of protection. i don't know why this should be complicated or controversial. hopefully it's not. larry: or change the business mode

, mayorkas was in charge and is in charge of a white upper border were 10 million illegals have comeany are not that it got all we have 2 million getaways, massive dangerous venezuelan gangs running around america in intimidating everybody, alejandro mayorkas has yet to answer for any of this and now we have the secret service failures under alejandro mayorkas, you're an elected official, what are you doing about it. >> we impeached in the house alejandro mayorkas, the problem is chuck schumer and his senate shenanigans, no one wants to do anything, they don't want to reign in homeland security, mayorkas said from the very beginning there was no chaos at the border we know there was chaos, he tried to tell this that border agents were using whips we know those were not whips are good no horse for many years that was a rain but he never meets his mistakes he comes the congress in his arrogant tone and denies the truth and outright lies. it is time for him to go, schumer won't do anything about it but we passed the hr2 the homeland security bill, we sent it over there a year ago they w

you have mayorkas in front of you.y are you not doing it, stakes are high for both political parties. if luck ends we have a problem. it a national problem, this a bipartisan problem, american disaster. >> it is, this can't be the road we're hea headed down as a country, we resolve our differences at ballot box and free speech, not political violence, some people, even here, have memory hold first, there were some reports that president trump was perhaps denied additional secret service protection, we need to find out if that is true, if it was, is it still true, something has to change. larry: i interviewed speaker mike johnson this morning in front of a group afpi . >> i will go stand on the doorstep and stomp my feet until he does, but they don't let me talk to the president o often. larry: not to make him look bad e or anyone but to suggest mayorkas could do it if he wanted to maybe that is why spotlight should be focused. >> they have to bring him in that committee has jurisdiction, i would hope this bipartisan. i

maria: is there anything more you can do to the hold mayorkas accountable? week just to highlight the failures of the biden-haste administration, and -- biden-harris administration. and when you look at record high inflation, crisis at the border and chaos on the international scene, you look at all the people that have worked in the biden-harris administering, mayorkas stands the out as the worst of the worst. this is a continuation, if you vote for harris for president, this is a continuation with of the failed biden-harris policies, and nothing's been a bigger failure than what mayorkas has done on the southern border. you add in the fact that he's in charge of fema and of the secret service, i mean, everything major are cat touches has been a problem and has been a problem for the american people. maria: yeah. i'm looking at your report right now, the committee on oversight and accountability members have received this report on you're with talking about the high levels of inflation. paying on average 202% more for -- 20% more for, basically, essential,

speaking of the top, where is mayorkas? i don't think we've heard one word from him since the attempted assassination attempt on president trump this last weekend. where is he? after all, secret service is part of homeland security. what is this guy doing? i think they're all of those questions. let's hope this task force, god bless the speaker for putting it together, the task force here in the house, who some of those members are going to be on with shannon on sunday, hope this task force gets to the bottom of everything. i think they will. >> john: on the subject, congressman, of where is, your colleague in the senate, richard blumenthal from connecticut, is really hot about the fact that he feels like dhs is stonewalling the senate investigation. i'm sure the house investigation feels the same way. and to your point, white hasn't mayorkas come out and said boo about this? why isn't dhs readily handling over information to these investigative task forces? >> i don't know but this guy has been a complete failure. we you k

the other issue is alejandro mayorkas. okay.f the wide open of border that brought us venezuelan gangs that are killing everybody but he's also in charge of the secret service with all these failures around president trump. you're an elected official. what are you doing about it. >> only house republicans have passed 70% of the bills to fund the government. the democrats who control the senate have passed zero, zero bills to fund the government. we're the ones who have actually done the job and, yes, of course we need to the make sure that only u.s. citizens are voting in our elections so um voting for the speaker's continuing resolution with election integrity measures but don't ever misunderstand the situation right here. 70% of the bills that are needed to fund the government, house republicans have passed. the senate has not done its job here. maria: so you're doing everything you can do? >> well, yes, of course, and i you will be voting for that legislation this week. maria: congressman, thank you. >> thank you. maria: good

where is mayorkas. now for clarity we have to look to this bipartisan house bill that did pass today 405-0 and i'll quote. "imposes uniform standards for the security of presidents, vice presidents, and major white house candidate." okay, there you have it. there's no commensurate, there's no approximate. it's very clear. now undoubtedly this house bill will pass the senate and that will then mandate presidential-type protection for mr. trump. former dhs secretary chad wolf in an interview on this show a couple of days ago, also talked about something called threat-based resource model. now here is chad. take a listen to what he said. >> this needs to be threat-based. president trump definitely has a different threat picture than vice president harris so the resources need to be allocated as such. larry: so that's very interesting point of view, to be pursued elsewhere. but so far, i'm just saying, so far, neither president biden, nor dhs secretary mayorkas has seemingly given any clear orders. that's a

and secretary mayorkas is the head of dhs.sination attempts against a former president of the united states and a current leading candidate. i mean, this is pure -- this is out of a movie? wherwe're the united states of america. secretary mayorkas has to step up and he has to get that organization back on track or he needs to be gone. >> todd: so what can you do in congress to force his hand? >> it truly is about the power of the purse. it's not just writing a blank check any time somebody tells you well, you know, we had an issue. we only need more resources. there is always more to the equation than just more resources. and we have to push it like senator blumenthal mentioned in a bipartisan manner. this is about protecting our election system and protecting the -- you know, the former president of the united states. if we can't get that right, there's so much more that happens behind it. but it's really about the house using the power of the purse to subpoena, bring these people before and say what have you done from the fi

alejandro mayorkas and they are not taking it seriously and they're not importing president trump theel of security that is worthy that the secret service should be given for legally in light of the fact that his agency with a $3.6 billion budget, these people doing and where are the guys and where did this money go what is being used for enough of the production of the leading candidate, the next president of the united states. >> richard, jason was talking about this was not particularly creative and we look at this would be snipers there with a couple of bags and again and slime. is there a certain aspect here that even the most predictable possibilities are being taken care of. >> yes, the most basic kinds of what the secret service should be doing begun by the wayside, whether is not putting a human on top of a roof that is 150 years later nonemployee dog walking fence line of that golf course, that the president has been through probably a million times previously since leaving office and virtually admitted that golf course many times as i know the layout of the place like the b

to funding richard blumenthal frustrated over department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas failure to provide insight on two attempts, watch. >> i am reaching a point of total outrage, because the response from the homeland security has been totally lacking in fact i think tantamount to stonewalling many respects if necessary i will certainly support a subpoena. >> joining me kentucky senator rand paul ranking member of the senate homeland security committee member senate foreign relations small business entrepreneurship health committees you heard he had about a subpoena from richards blumenthal should alejandro mayorkas be subpoenaed to give us some answers on things he is over veeing not just wide-open border 10 million illegals on his watch but over veeing secret service getting no information on assassination attempts. >> secretary mayorkas has a history of not being very forthcoming, i will say one of the most important things that we've asked secret service for was denials of security, so trump security detail secret service detail, as well as trump campaign for mont

i want to bring in homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas.ch for being with us, and i wonder what you're hearing from officials about the scope of the need for the people in places like georgia, florida, north carolina. the president said today ten different states impacted by helene. >> chris, thank you for having me. the impact of hurricane helene is historic in the tragedy that it has wreaked. it has stretched a distance that is unprecedented and it is very very important that individuals impacted by the hurricane listen to their local officials and provide and follow the guidance that those local officials have provided. our hearts break for the families who have lost loved ones. we are still very much in a search and rescue mode. we have our search and rescue teams on the ground at multiple locations, more than 3,600 personnel have been deployed. a thousand or so of which our -- are fema personnel. we are in close touch with state and local officials. we are co-located in local emergency operations centers. we are deploying all sorts of

mayorkas. what did he think about this and when can pressure be put on mayorkas?im. i sent a letter to director rowe monday calling for president trump to have full presidential protection. he deserves that. he needs that and we know from the sheriff at the press conference there at the golf course that the security provided president trump right now is not what he had when he was president. now, the way the budget works with these departments, the secret service, yes, is currently under dhs. i think we need to move it back to treasury but in the meantime, and to make certain that president trump, president biden, vice president harris have full protection, what they need to do is reallocate the resources. they need to allow secret service to have more drones, more dogs, and more personnel. they need to improve their planning processes, and allocate people so that they are planning for any eventual that could possibly occur and right now, larry, they are not doing that. for director rowe to say well we didn't have golf on the schedule. anybody that knows contract

mayorkas obviously is failing at the border, he's obviously failing in terms of i.c.e.ention and this is the biden and harris administration's -- this lays at their feet in terms of this border failure but so does the secret service failure. maria: it's interesting because president biden continues to say that he and kamala harris did all of this together. he did so in a speech yesterday. he did so on the view. here's the president when visited the view this week. watch this. >> as vice president, there wasn't a single thing that i did that she couldn't do. and so i was able to delegate her, president put responsibility on everything from foreign policy to domestic the policy. maria: interesting what he thae delegated everything to her, foreign and domestic policy and a now she's trying to distance herself from it. she rolled out some of her policies and slammed former president trump. watch this. >> under my plan, more than 100 million americans will get a middle class tax break. that includes $6,000 for new parents during the first year of their child's life. we'll al

mayorkas we know it he is he is a complete incompetent buffoon.re is the president, the vice president who wants to be president and the attorney general? who was on absolutely nothing to get his hands around this. i am tell you this is someone who served wit at the highest ll of the department of justice. justice would not sit back and wait for a local special agent in charge of miami to take over. they'd be sending guys in the from washington d.c. and meese would have wanted a report every hour on the hour. he would want to know what we were going to do to fix this and i can also tell you the first time around this would have happened had ed meese been the attornattorney general and reagn the president of the united states. this is all evidence to me when i listen to everybody and they're all fantastic but it's all evidence to me of keystone cops who is in charge of what? it depends for this one should'shouldhave done that, no. we need a general who is in charge and says i want to know who screwed up? i want to know what were going to do to fix

now, open borders, mayorkas has been a failure. and incredibly enough, he is nowhere to be found after two assassination attempts on mr. trump. no accountability whatsoever. the bigger question is, where is joe biden? why didn't he actually fire the first secret service director kimberly cheatle after the incredible mistakes that were made in butler, pennsylvania? a point made by mr. trump in his debate with kamala harris is they never seem to fire anyone, afghanistan catastrophe, open border, inflation no one gets fired in biden-harris administration this is particular. here, on this point, take a listen to my pal mark mark levin who was on last night on fox. >> who is in charge? we don't have any idea who? charge. who is in charge of protecting a presidential candidate here? i'm older i served in reagan administration, chief of staff attorney general niece, let me tell you, ronald reagan would have picked up phone, he would have called the ag attorney general and said you are in charge of getting to the bottom of this you have 48

we saw the dhs secretary mayorkas.ng related to the border has come up will come up. >> the brain room is telling us now, october 2nd out of 2023 was the last time he had a full cabinet meeting. we look forward to your reporting throughout the day. thank you. >> this is an explosive accusation that public information that we should have had about significant interest aliens -- which by the way, ten times greater under biden. 3,000 times greater. that was hidden from us. i along said the greatest, wrap out of the biden administration is the border. there's been a lot of time spent on hunter biden. all of. i wish we could've put more oversight here. there were migrants being processed. there were secret flights in the westchester county and immigrants in the dead of night being scattered around. and they were emergency intake facilities. migrant children on suicide watch list. there is a cover-up. we deserve to know more. >> i agree with you. this is the type of -- i guess it is not a whistleblower. he is coming out and

but the longer more important answer is president joe biden, open border mayorkas has been a completeailure in incredibly enough he's nowhere to be found after two assassination attempt after mr. trump no accountability whatsoever but the bigger question where is joe biden why didn't he fire the first secret service director kimberly cheadle after the incredible mistakes made in butler pennsylvania. a point made by mr. trump in his debate with kamala harris as they never seem to fire anybody the afghanistan qatar for sure they, the open border catastrophe, the inflation catastrophe nobody gets fired in the biden here's the administration this is very peculiar here on the point take a listen to my pal mark levin who was on last night on fox. take a listen. >> who's in charge, we don't have any idea who's in charge who is in charge of protecting the candidate in this country. i served in the reagan administration the chief of staff to attorney general let me tell you what would've happened in the administration ronald reagan would've picked up the phone he would've called the attorney g

get rid of mayorkas, republicans tried it on the hill. it's time for the president to do his job and fire this man and replace him with somebody that can do the job. >> right. >> harris: senator blackburn, thank you for being with me. speaking of people who are having some problems with and what the senator was getting to there with all the children were the sex trafficking cases that we know of, this does not necessarily involve children but it does involve charges of sex trafficking. sean diddy combs now facing charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, kidnapping and forced label. we expect to hear from federal officials soon. we'll bring it to you. the second assassination attempt on former president donald trump is raising big questions about obvious things that were missed by authorities. >> an agent that was paying attention noticed something out of the ordinary. but this should be detected much earlier and prevented and disrupted. >> harris: even people on the liberal side of the aisle, the liberal media saying it's essentia

are you planning on subpoenaing alejandro mayorkas?en battling mayorkas this whole congress. we impeached hum and you know the senate didn't even take it up so we're trying to figure out what we can do to mayorkas but it's been a losing battle thus far,more , maria, to be honest h you. maria: he's overseeing the border and overseeing the secret with all those failures protecting donald trump. we'll keep a spotlight on it. we'll be right back. moving forward with node-positive breast cancer. my fear of recurrence could've held me back. but i'm staying focused. and doing more to prevent recurrence. verzenio is specifically for hr-positive, her2-negative, node-positive early breast cancer with a high chance of returning, as determined by your doctor when added to hormone therapy. verzenio reduces the risk of recurrence versus hormone therapy alone. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. at the first sign, call your doctor, start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor abo

it is on secretary mayorkas.evated role in doing that. they are failing doing this. >> cheryl: officials maintain they met demand requested for trump. the agency has 8000 employees. analysis from cato institute shows this is not about budgets, it is management, structure and style within the agency. an overhaul may be the goal. >> carley: don't miss cheryl on mornings with maria. thank you so much. latest targeted attack on former president trump after he has been labeled single biggest threat to democracy? >> donald trump. >> trump is exen stential threat to democracy. he is willing to sacrifice our democracy. >> donald trump is a great threat to our democracy. >> carley: co-chair of the rnc youth council joins me now. this is really important, there are a lot of young voters out there that get news on big events from social media. what is your reaction and reaction of young voters to a second assassination attempt on a former president? >> absolutely, thank you for having me. this is terrifying, this is somethi

about policies from kamala, and we've got all missteps i've got another letter here to alejandro mayorkaswe acting director secret service from speaker of the house talking about failures in secret service, alejandro mayorkas is overseeing all of this overseeing secret service wide-open border 10 million i will say in the country 3 1/2 years will there be account for alejandro mayorkas until the senate. >> disappeared, last few months not anywhere they told him hide we don't want you out there talking about this same with kamala, they don't want her talking about it letting mainstream media punch a agenda the problem they've got things coming out we are starting to understand people understand wait a minute, we need to hear from her what you are was that she was you can tag about? i didn't ubs it how in the world pleader of the free world if can't give you basic 101 economics she drove drop out today let somebody else run i don't know how they plan getting her across the finish line president trump is going to win polls wrong everywhere i go everybody is saying coach we have to get presid

[laughter] >> secretary mayorkas, think you're being here today. you just told me backstage i could call you ali, but i want to make sure everybody here knows that so they don't think i am being rude. >> thank you. >> we are nearing the end of four years of your 10 year as homeland security secretary. i want to begin this conversation thinking big. if you can really zoom out, if your work on immigration issues were to end with these four years and 20 years down the line, you were looking back, what do you think you would be most proud of accomplishing? and what might you look back and wish you had been able to do? >> with respect to the issue of immigration specifically, caitlin, i think we have transformed the paradigm of migration by building an unprecedented level of lawful pathways for people to access humanitarian relief in a safe manner. we also have changed dramatically interior enforcement in the united states. and i think that is something that does not receive ample attention. it wasn't that long ago when an individual who has resided for

[laughter] >> secretary mayorkas, think '

let's do a wellness check and hear from secretary mayorkas. and if he can't get the job done, joe biden, fire them. replacing with someone who can. >> emily: and we discussed this and know the vantage point was well used. it's like when you grow up and all the kids hang out at the at certain places in town. everybody knows it's not a kept secret and therefore it's all the more shocking if the potential again risk to donald trump's life was not known by secret service. >> kayleigh: a known vantage point, exactly to your point. the truth about secret service is you cannot have a mistake. you cannot have a failure, you have to be rights 110% of the time. and ronald rowe said yesterday this was an off the record stop for donald trump. okay, off the record stops mean they are sudden and pop outcome at the same way jill and joe biden went to a waffle house after the debate. that's not an excuse, you can repurpose snipers from mar-a-lago, you can send out dog teams, one to search for explosives and people and would've found this one with snacks hidin

where is mayorkas and all of this peer why haven't we heard from mayorkas? he is the one in charge. their mission which is to protect the president and not go out and compete with state and local law enforcement to try to get great press and counterfeiting and economic crimes and on about other stuff, and get rid of the dei, go to the military come and get those people. and i want to say one more thing. i'm glad that ron desantis in florida is taking the bull by the horns and saying you know what? just because you filed two gun charges doesn't mean i can't do my own investigation. ashley moody is going to do it. they are going to do it. what they are going to try to figure out is whether or not there are additional crimes or more informational they can get because on the one hand you don't want the agency that's been trying to put trump in jail for the last year and a half to be the agency that's responsible for investigating whether or not the secret service acted appropriately on whether or not people should be charged with trying to kill him. >> jesse: dana, you know how these th

no press conferences from mayorkas. would like to see right now somebody fired because this is insane. one of the main candidates for the highest office in our land now has survived two assassination attempts and nobody seems to think we did much wrong here. >> bill: on the docket there is no press conference planned. that will change. at what time and what point we don't know and who leads it we'll wait and see. thank you. paul mauro and charlie hurt. >> dana: live pictures from west palm beach as former president trump is once again the target of an assassination attempt. the investigation into the first shooting is still ongoing. the two lawmakers on the task force are here. >> he is the most attacked and threatened probably more than when he was in the oval office. we're demanding in the house that he have every asset available and make more available if necessary. i don't think it is a funding issue, i think it's a manpower allocation. ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ask your doctor about farxiga. every d

. >> where is mayorkas? think we have heard one word from him since he attempted assassination attempt on president trump this past weekend. >> the bipartisan congressional task force will hold its first hearings on capitol hill this thursday. shannon: lucas, thank you very much try to meet now to members of the bipartisan house task force gop congressman michael waltz and congresswoman madeleine dean of pennsylvania. thank you both for your time. congressman, i want to start with you. we have heard from the acting secret service there is not clear communication of who was responsible for that rooftop. and the days after all of this happened we heard from some local authorities. so the butler township commissioner edward told our lawrence jones appeared. >> was that your guys a job to secure that building where the shooter was on the top of the roof? >> absolutely not. >> of that as well the butler county sheriff said it was not our responsibility congresswoman, are you confident you'll get an answer about w

would have loved to have seen mayorkas and some other folks testifying before congress today, but it'sood that you got to hear from the local authorities who were on the scene. what was your biggest take away from today, congresswoman? >> today was an opportunity for the american public to hear from the local law enforcement officers who were part of the team that was on the ground to secure the butler site. one of the most important things you touched on, which was the lack of a unified command center. so secret service relies on these partners to secure a sight but that only works if they all have a game plan that they all have communication on the day of the event. so when something suspicious happens, there's something that needs to be addressed, they all understand and get that information simultaneously. so today really made clear that local law enforcement did not have the support, the plan and the communication that they needed from secret service in order to do their jobs effectively. >> john: there was a lack of communication as you point out which has been noted many times i

get mayorkas to do it, put him on the hot seat and liz macdonald will take it from there. liz: sure are, larry. you're so right. welcome to the evening edit. i'm elizabeth macdonald and he's about to make his first appearance in the battleground swing state of oregon and will he get the security he needs? running mate jd vance about to speak this hour. swing sate wisconsin and monitoring both of that and we'll bring any developments to you live. now, senator marsha blackburn joins us in just a moment and she's been strong on this and protecting presidents and is trump safe. is he gets the security he deserves and now top democrats and richard bloomenthal slamming the white house for stone walling. >> the federal reserve cutting interest rates. >> powell took a stand for independence of the federal reserve a day after president trump bashed the system he was trying to pressure the federal reserve, which is supposed to be an independent body. liz: okay, pot meet kettle. now senate democrats pressuring the fed to do a jumbo rate cut, bigger than what wall street expects and i

praising mayorkas who has been responsible along with kamala harris and joe biden allowing invited 11 plus illegal immigrants from 180 countries including countries with terror ties, allowing people was known in terror ties into the country. we have seen them committed murder and violent crimes against our citizens pick to me, it is unconscionable because all of that is preventable and you should be, now that voting is starting in pennsylvania, people need to understand all of this. i think we have a major secret -- security file going around and you seemed to be the number 1 target for assassinations in this country. as your son says last night, how many lives do you have left? a cat has nine lives, how many lives does don't trump have left? it is scary for people that carry about a year. >> mr. trump: i never thought about that way, interesting way to think about it. i will say that is on the border you are right, we had of the safest border in the history of our country when i left office, in fact that they must shot when i was turning right to look at, the border patrol, it was th

i listened to that answer from alejandro mayorkas, laura. i think it was so smug. from kamala harris on the debate stage whenever there was a discussion about springfield, ohio. and you know, the -- there is such a condescension toward the common voter that i do begin to wonder, laura, if it's going to backfire electorally on them in the extent it swings an election. i don't think they fully appreciate how this issue touches the lives of so many americans from coast to coast across this country you did a great job of highlighting some of the specific victims of crimes from illegal immigrants. but this issue that they treat so condescendingly, so smug but i touches the lives of a lot of americans. >> we are seeing it in small towns, in places like springfield where they, you know, they are bringing in these special category migrants. so it's 20,000 haitians and whatever -- you know, doing with their free time. i mean, notwithstanding, that's a massive, massive up ending of the social and economic order of a rather small community. >> will: absolutely. >> laura: fair

joining me now as a secretary of homeland security, alejandro mayorkas. secretary, thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> what are you thinking? we see the families behind us at memorial plaza. people have been laying that one rose . >> he used the word somber and that is an appropriate word. it is indeed a very somber day. we also have to draw inspiration from the fact that we have exhibited the resolve to stand strong and continue our way of life. our way of life is impenetrable and will stand forever. >> the threats, the threat landscape of course has evolved over the 23 years and the intelligence lapse and gaps that led up to 9/11, how has it evolved? what is the greatest threat to the american homeland today? >> the foreign terrorist threat that struck our country so tragically 23 years ago persists. it is still very much something that we have to address . but the threat has evolved so that we are also concerned about individuals already here in the united states radicalized to violence. radicalized to violence by false narratives

department of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas denying concerns about illegal immigrationtch. >> when you hear a charge that illegal immigration and migrant crime is one of the greatest threats to the country today, you say what. >> that is false. cheryl: residents of springfield, ohio, disagree. migrants arriving in their town. thanks in large part to the biden, harris administration's expansion of the protected status program. residents are complaining of long waits for medical appointments. there are concerns of after a minivan driver hit a school bus last year that killed an 11-year-old boy. ohio's governor, mike dewine, sent a surge of troopers and $2.5 million in healthcare radio sources to springfield as a result of the migrant influx. dewine says the federal government has not shown they've got a plan to deal with this problem and mark tepper, i want to the start with you. you live in ohio. >> yeah. cheryl: i'm anxious to getter your take on all of this. >> this is kind of over of of near dayton, a good three plus hour drive from where i live but obviously there's

listen to that answer from alejandro mayorkas, laura, and i think it is so t smug and there o this issuethere was a discussion about springfield, ohio. and yoondeu know, there is sucha condescension against the commoi part of that i do begin to wonder, laura, if it willey backfire electorally. i don't think they fully appreciate how this issue touches the lives of so manyu di americans from coast-to-coast across this country. you did a great job ofs highlighting some of the specific victims of crimes fromn illegal immigrants. but this issue thadilyt they trt so condescending and so smugly touches the lives of a lot of americans. >> laura: an we seeid we are set in small towns in places like t springfield where they are bringing in the special category migrants. so what is 20,000 haitians and whatever they are doing with their free time notwithstanding, that is a massive, massive up in doing ofl the social and economic order or rather smallly community. that was fairly peaceful but you get the sens thee that the elits resent the fact that those small town settings are peaceful andno peopl

have you been able to get answers from alejandro mayorkas who is overseeing all of this. >> nobody's. he has no answers. we are still waiting for the first assassination attempt and you go back to kennedy's days,s we don't know what happened to the kennedys. mayorkas needs to step up and do his job instead of going in hiding and that's basically what he's done and people want to hear the answer and we need to know the answers. maria: let move on, get your take on this, house republicans are set to question small business administration head today over alleged efforts to register voters in democrat heavy areas of michigan, the house small business committee demanded information like documents, travel schedules of top agency officials but you say you're being stonewalled, what is going on there in michigan, sir. >> what they're doing, they signed a memo of understanding in michigan to help register voters which is not the purview of the sba, has nothing to do with it. when we ask for documents, they slow play us all the way. we subpoena people that come in and visit, we subpoenaed the

he couldn't say why and how he would solve it, mayorkas. >> this is a secretary who lied to congresshe american people. knew that his own agents didn't whip the haitian migrants he accused them of whipping. kamala harris extended that lie. purposeful because they know that they are guilty. they are guilty of releasing dangerous people into the united states and doing it because they believe it is politically beneficial for them. that's why they violently oppose the save act that i introduced that we passed in july with unanimous republican support. five democrats voted for it. democrats don't want to talk about it. they dismiss it as unnecessary. that's a lie. it is necessary. federal law doesn't allow states to check citizenship when they register to vote. my bill would require we check it. 58% issue. they don't want to do that? they know they are guilty of using these individuals endangering americans and migrants for their crass political purposes. they think it is beneficial to them. it is all about power. it's all about power. >> harris: we've seen some political candidates havi

president biden, vice president harris and mayorkas have been a lot of talk -- minimal talk and absolutelyresident's safety under these very high risk situationses. situations. look, this is a serious threat not only to president trump as we can see that but to our so-called democracy, to our republic, if he were to be assassinated, think of the issues to our country as whole and the idea that the sheriff and the secret service agree that they did not have the resources at -- in palm beach since -- with this risk assessment, because he's not a sitting president. it's not based upon your position. it's based upon the need for safety and what's necessary to protect him. that's what it's based upon. the risk assessment, not his position. maria: and based on the suspect's social media profile, he echoed the anti-trump rhetoric used by vice president kamala harris and president biden, the federalist writes today that even after president biden said let's lower the temperature after the butler shooting, what we have is just more of the same. with lots of smears from the democrats, calling trump

and find out who that person's boss is and that person's boss is does that go all the way up to mayorkasn't surprise me. >> griff: at that hearing yesterday that dove into the terror threat at the border, they requested and invited mayorkas to appear. he chose not. to say. >> brian: what does he do? not showing up assassinations, he is not doing anything. >> lawrence: important to note that a lot of the reporting that bill and griff does is from sources within the border patrol. because we're not getting the actual numbers day-to-day basis. depend on sources. this guy is not lying about it. >> brian: no one is challenging him. >> steve: here's the thing is he a former border patrol. >> lawrence: that's why he had to. >> >> steve: the administration will not make any of the current people available. that's why good reporters, like we have got plenty of them here at fox. you just mentioned two of the best. they get stuff from people who are on the inside who are frustrated with what is happening oprah sat down with kamala harris, the vice president came in about a half hour into the progra

. >> now a conversation with homeland security secretary mayorkas onboarder security and emtkpwraeugs policies. regarding the u.s. southern border

house minority leader hakeem jeffries and homeland security alejandro mayorkas. o mayorkas —ahhh!werwash, he can fly through 99% of grease and grime in half the time. oh, my-gration. look at him go! yeah, dawn powerwash is unique. it absorbs grease with three cleaning boosters, removing it five times faster. ooh, for beak's sake, that was fast. and powerwash can replace multiple cleaning products. —wooh, fumble recovery! —ooh, those suds got game. dawn powerwash. the better grease getter. (man) mm, hey, honey. dawn powerwash. looks like my to-do list grew. "paint the bathroom, give baxter a bath, get life insurance," hm. i have a few minutes. i can do that now. oh, that fast? remember that colonial penn ad? i called and i got information. they sent the simple form i need to apply. all i do is fill it out and send it back. well, that sounds too easy! (man) give a little information, check a few boxes, sign my name, done. they don't ask about your health? (man) no health questions. -physical exam? -don't need one. it's colonial penn guaranteed acceptance whole life insurance. if you

certainly secretary mayorkas has done that.nd then by the time that there is actually a point where someone comes along and says we have to reverse this they argue it's impossible. that's something that i think the american people are sick and tired of because they understand that they see it for what it is, which is attempting to do something that is unconstitutional, at odds with the rule of law and basically saying it's too late, it is already done and over. you can't do anything about it. the american people want this to change. they understand the threat that this represents to our communities, our way of life, and burdening particularly smaller communities. as steve forbes was saying, whatever you think about what is going on in springfield you can't assume dumping this many people in small cities and towns across the country won't burden all the different resources supposed to serve law abiding citizens. new york has experienced this themselves with the migrants that have come there and seen the way the democrats have re

in yesterday and today, and still, neither biden nor alejandro mayorkas has decided and executed andy the same thing about kamala harris and give her full presidential protection pretty but i think it's not right the time passes and the clock ticks way and trump is back on the campaign trail and they have not fixed to this come they have not fixed this yet. newt: i don't think they want to fix it. back in hannity in july, have the first effort to give the president, that was the natural outcome of the law fair campaign feeling and i don't think that you can underestimate how deeply the establishment is terrified that donald trump will win and he's going to genuinely change things and genuinely got the corruption. i think his foot dragging is not an accident and there's a deliberative same reason not providing support to robert f kennedy jr., they were setting him up to get killed. his uncle had been killed in this father had been killed and they refused to protect him. i think we need to understand how about these people are someways how evil some of the sales and, i mean, this is go

i know impeaching mayorkas didn't do the job.ing to help pull him out of that position. we're stuck. he won't actually pay attention to the assassination attempts on trump's life because his homeland security department is in charge of the secret service. and he doesn't do anything about this situation or even mention it. >> look today, kamala harris is doing a virtually dialing into this meeting that they are having with the cabinet. america deserves better than a virtual president. we deserve president trump. i would argue house republicans we have to stop thinking as if let's ride president trump's coattails to victory. we have to roll up our sleeves. hispanic heritage month. asme owe hispanic and represent a district that predominantly hispanic. republicans need to deliver a conservative message that will make hispanic lives better. i was encouraged to see the hispanic leadership trust, they are going to places like arizona and helping a person and help president trump, organ, california is how we take back our country. every
