republican and democratic leaders set to meet with the president for high-stakes negotiations on the debt ceiling. america is not a deadbeat nation. we pay our bills. with the clock ticking toward a june 1st default deadline failure to do that would be unprecedented. we talk with two powerful senators who have a history of working across the aisle about how to avoid an economic meltdown. we should never put the credit of the united states at risk. until the president engages, it doesn t matter what we do. later this hour country superstar miranda lambert on how she could set a new record in country music. it sounds really big when you say it like that. is that part of your super power? get it done, baby. it was possible that i may not see the end of the year. you mishandled that? i don t know if i mishandled i m a little wistful. this is not where i thought this story was headed. good evening and welcome back to who s talking. it s ca
that does it for us on this friday morning, ana cabrera picks up the coverage right now. happy friday. so glad you are with us. it s 10:00 eastern. i m ana cabrera reporting from new york, and it may be friday, but there s still a lot of news this morning, including big economic shifts. we just got the april jobs report, and instead of the decline economists expected, unemployment numbers ticked down. the unemployment rate is 3.4%. jobs were added, many more than expected. that is some good news, but with interest rate hikes, banking turmoil, layoffs, and store closures, how do you assess the state of the u.s. economy? former new orleans mayor mitch landrieu who s also a senior adviser to president biden will join us. plus, a judge could hand down a record sentence for a january 6th rioter today. how long that defendant could spend behind bars. and we re following reaction to the historic verdicts against members of the proud boys. what does it all reveal about the
and democratic strategist david. gentlemen, welcome to the show. i want to start off with the border. david, i will start with you, you know, immigration is a big problem for the president right now. if you can pop up the poll. 61% according to fox news poll disapprove the job the president is doing and he s getting incoming from all different sides that are very frustrated that this administration was not quite prepared for the end of title 42. some confusing messaging on that and, of course, the last-minute troops to the border. david, this is not an ideal situation for him, is it? well, it s not an ideal situation for any politician and we have many politicians out there saying that immigration is their number one issue but it seems like their number one issue to complain about. president biden put forth comprehensive legislation on immigration his first day in office and he s asking for a bipartisan approach. that s what s going to work. right now the president is actin
time announcing he is running for a second term and mark his first formal news conference in more than a month. this one to be two questions per side. sandra: all comes amid reports biden s advisers tend to shield him for his re-election campaign, to avoid unscripted comments that they have had to walk back. nikki haley is joining us exclusively on america reports. john: marc thiessen is standing by and peter, no surprise, the president once again running behind schedule. only about an hour, as far as these things go with the visiting head of state and dignitaries and press that travel with them, it s not so bad, but targeting 1:30 or so start for the rose garden press conference and the white house defense of the lack of press conferences from president biden has been well, he often entertains shouted questions. the reason this event this afternoon is significant is because people are not going to have to shout, somebody from the white house will bring a microphone u
brownsville. nearly 2,000 they ve encountered. by comparison, david, if you remember back in april of 2021, that del rio bridge with some 20,000 haitians, it took 17 days for them to get to 20,000 haitians in del rio. here in brownsville, in the past 10 days exceeded 20,000 and they re largely venezuelans. you can see it the construction, they re calling it camp monument, the border parole agents are, setting up areas to process, encounter, screen and transfer out these migrants and it s just part of what they re trying to get ready for because it s less than two weeks before title 42 lifts. i wanted to take a look at one more piece of footage that we shot this morning and this is the migrants showing up here. like i side 90% venezuelan and cuba, colombia, honduras, el salvador as well. meanwhile, in el paso, take a look at pictures given to fox news by local ngo, they ve set up shelters with migrants all over the streets and we heard some 30,000 migrants are waiting in juare
