American woman ilver earns you unlimited 1. 5 cash back on every purchase, everywhere. Actually, thats super easy. My bad. Patty heather killing the heat to secure the borders, house gop lawmakers will meet hoping to find a middle ground to fix our immigration system is what needs to happen to keep the American People safe . Joining me for firsthand insight is former ice agent and Border Patrol officer david war. Thank you for joining us, appreciate it. I will start with this. If you were running things what would you do . There would be a secure border. What i mean by that is under the negotiations in congress, unless the border is completely secure, completely funded and secure and verified i dont think daca would be on the table at all. 250,000 border apprehensions, that is just this year. 690,000 daca recipient in the us as well, you are talking about huge numbers. More than that. In 1986 the provision was made the 2. 6 Million People were legalized, given amnesty. Under the provision that we would have strong sanction laws, employers who hire illegal aliens would go to jail for doing it. That never happened. Every Time Congress comes up with something theres always giving but not putting up the security we wanted. We went through the secure fence act of 2006, that was never funded properly. That we had last year a bill introduced in congress, the defense act up to 2017. AnyTime Congress gets involved they do not complete the job and we go back where we were in 1986 with this. You are given a job to do it have to create another thing to tell you to finish the job you were told to do to begin with. It is mindboggling. Your viewers dont know that 750 miles of border actually exist in 350 miles of pedestrian border is up. That is the problem the president is facing. He would have an easier time negotiating with the north koreans under nuclear determined then negotiating with congress to secure the border. Heather people are aware of that as a result of Donald Trump Taking Office and his administration was where you expecting more from him at this point . The position needs 218 signatures to force a vote, currently 215 to move forward. Do you expect congress to get work done on this . I dont expect congress to do anything, they spin their wheels and do nothing. I dont know why several of them were in office in 1986 when the last fiasco of amnesty came through. If they want to do something they need to start working with the president to secure the border and when that is verified by the Border Patrol and the Government Accounting Office that it is in fact secure then they can start negotiating on daca. Your words were hot potato, coming up against the midterm elections the democrats hoping to take over the house. Do you think they will reserve this to use as a political ploy for their campaigns instead . They will. The democrats are chomping at the bit to be in control of the house again so they can ram something through on amnesty and do nothing for securing our border. If november comes around and this happens we are going to be in deep trouble, seeing this all over again. We need to secure the border as provided by law. We will see what happens. We know you will be watching and appreciate your insight today. Thank you. Have a good day. The time is 20 minutes after the top of the hour and a massive fire ripping through a 12 story hotel. The investigation happening right now into what sparked the raging inferno sending people running for their lives. I think president donald john trump. An amazing moment, this is what freedom look like thanks to a pardon from donald trump so why is this happy moment triggering democrats . Jackie ibanez reading your comments live up next, good morning. Heather welcome back, youre watching fox and friends first. Alice Marie Johnson is now the free woman.

Reporter the modus alice Marie Johnson will cherish forever. The 72yearold greatgrandmother running into the arms of her family and friends after donald trump grants her clemency. I think president donald john trump. Thank you. For giving me another chance at life. Reporter johnson served 21 years of her life sentence in alabama prison for taking part in a drug ring. The white house issuing a statement saying ms. Johnson has accepted responsibility for her past behavior and has been a model prisoner for the past two decades. Despite receiving a life sentence she worked hard to revalidate herself in prison and act as a mentor to her fellow inmates. Kim kardashian who met with donald trump last week was lobbying for her release expressing her gratitude on twitter, the phone call i just had with alice will forever be one of my best memories, hearing her screams while crying together is a moment i will never forget. Instead of submitting some democrats accused donald trump of favoring famous people. It should be done on the basis of fairness to all the people that way. Everyone should have any questions, not someone Kim Kardashian whispers in his ear about. Donald trump is in the early stages of pardoning at least 30 people including former illinois governor Rod Blagojevich and martha stewart. She had an entire legal team with her and they have been fighting for this for years. Other people have as well. Pres. Obama denied her clemency when they tried to do it during his administration. Governor huckabee had something to say about it too. It touched a nerve. I appreciate Kim Kardashian for using her celebrity for something that does good. I understand people want to lock folks up and keep them there forever but 22 years for firsttime nonviolent offender. A lot of people across america who have murdered people and will never serve even a third of that time. We dont have a crime problem as much as a drug and alcohol problem. A lot of people we are incarcerating the to go in treatment centers. I applaud the president because this took a lot of guts from to do this. There is never a political upside to granting any type of clemency be at a commutation or a pardon. He is also using this as a way to check out some of the total failures in our criminal Justice System and sentencing guidelines. All right so we are asking folks on social media why democrats oppose donald trump around every corner. Brendan says the only platform the left has is to be 100 against trump. It is pathetic. All the money that will be wasted running against him.

Donald trump defending the first lady, scolding conspiracy enthusiasts. The moment milania proved the medias bizarre speculations wrong without saying a word. The. Wave a ripple, is a red riptide brewing . Our next guest says yes, why democrats should hold on tight, going to be a bumpy ride. Heather red riptide threatening the hopes of the democratic. Wave in november. Eight primaries held across america this week with major republican momentum building in california. Joining me to react is chairwoman for california dylan. Thank you for joining us, really appreciate it. I like that. A red riptide or blue wave. What do you think is going to happen . Starting in california we had a lot of warnings from democrats that there was going to be a blue wave that swamped us. We have 7 congressional races here in district that Hillary Clinton carried and democrats and nancy pelosi targeting and hoping for those to go their way and they went bust. Republicans did very well. Our voters turned out in greater numbers across california then democrats did. That carried out in other states as well. We had high enthusiasm among republicans coupled with after many months of democrats complaining about the president but not having their own agenda their voters didnt turn out. It is looking good for us. If you listen to what people call the main news stream media, they talked a lot about democrats turning out in huge numbers. Do you think this will keep up with republicans as we head toward the midterms . More republicans heading out and why do you think more republicans are heading to the polls . It is specific, depends on the state. In blue states like california, which is the most extreme, republicans and independent voters and democrats are tired of the high taxes and government control, regulations that make it hard for businesses and families to succeed, you are seeing the effect of that, in other states and seeing what the president is doing nationally to help us out, enthusiastic to carry that on. Democrats have been a very negative agenda they have been proposing and not proposing solutions for america. Some democratic consultants, people in the party are warning democrats all they are doing is campaigning against the president that wont work for people on the ground in their states. Heather people that need jobs, want to get ahead, not going to work if you Just Campaign on impeaching donald trump. Speaking of donald trump, on twitter he said great night for republicans, congratulations to john cox on a really big number in california. He can win. Even fake news cnn said the trump impact was really big, much bigger than they thought possible, so much for the big blue wave, it may be a big red wave, working hard. He said many more Republican Voters showed up yesterday than the fake news thought possible. Political pundits dont get what is going on out there or they do get it but refused to report the facts, remember dems are hightech, high crime, easy to beat. Donald trump agrees with you, everything you just said. Absolutely and we have to be vigilant as republicans we have double the number of retirements, democrats in congress, double the number of seats to defend, we cant rest on our laurels but we have significantly higher number of pickups on the senate side as well. When you have democrats in high tax states like california pushing more taxes, more regulation, singlepayer healthcare as their agenda americans are alarmed about that, we are happy to see the turnout. Even at the top of the ticket like you said in california, a contested race, contested races in other states that have primaries this week where republicans may pick up the seat and newer faces, one more factor is republicans in congress have a rule where they allow people to be leaders and that fosters democrats have a very older kind of leadership. We have a different face and a positive face and looking forward to november. Heather thank you for joining us, appreciate your insight. Donald trump in the meantime, the first ladys health, she steps back into the spotlight. A rough patch but doing great and proud of her, she has done a fantastic job is first lady, people love you, people in the country love you. Heather the first lady sitting inside the pres.
