Bill in is the quote that strikes you. The border is secure. The border is closed. I dont know how you rate that based on what we are reporting so far. That doesnt seem to match up with reality. There has been very little, if any, access the media has been held out from it. The pictures you just saw from a Democratic Congress member whose district spans that area of texas. Dana well talk to local mayors on the front lines. The numbers are staggering. Officials are encountering close to 600 unaccompanied minors every day. As of saturday 1,000 kids have been held by Border Patrol for more than 10 days. The Biden Administration says the situation is being handled but republicans call it a free for all. Are you thinking of going to the border . I will at some time. I know whats going on in those facilities. The border is secure. The border is closed. Weve been unequivocal in that and were operationalizing our processes, executing our plans. The border is wide open. There are reports now that customs and Border Patrol may be directed simply start processing people into the country without giving them a notice to appear in court. Biden administration dismantled the effective policies of the Trump Administration and the agreements we had with mexico. Bill let the debate begin. Fox Team Coverage talking to a Border Patrol Council President in a moment. We begin at the white house on the north lawn with mark meredith. Good morning. Good morning. President biden told reporters last night he will go down to the southern border at some point but didnt sound like it would be happening any time soon. All weekend long we heard from Administration Officials who once again put the blame on the former administration saying they are to blame when it comes to crowded facilities and changes to asylum rules. They plan to spend millions on hotel rooms because the facilities are filling up. Reports unaccompanied children are staying at Border Facilities for several days longer than what is normally allowed because they have nowhere else to go at this point. Homeland security Secretary Mayorkas insists the situation is under control. He spoke to several networks including Fox On Sunday saying the border is secure despite reports otherwise. We have replaced the remain in mexico policy with a safe and orderly Triage System working with our partners in mexico and humanitarian organizations in the international space. And we are not expelling vulnerable children. Former President Trump had plenty to say about all this. He put out a statement saying all they had to do was keep the smooth Running System on auto pilot. In the span of a few weeks the Biden Administration has turned a National Triumph to a National Disaster. Theyre in way over their heads and taking on water fast. Fox has requested access to some of these Border Patrol facilities to get a sense of whats going on. The Administration Says they plan to send out video of their own in the days ahead but no indication yet that well get our cameras inside to whats going on. We are expecting to hear more from the president later on this week. First News Conference on thursday. No Public Events at the white house today. Bill putting a lot of pressure on the white house. Well see whether or not it changes on the call. Nice to see you from the north lawn. Dana fox news has learned that Border Agents have started releasing migrants crossing into the u. S. Illegally without court dates. As the Biden Administration announced it is opening a new facility to Shelter Hundreds of unaccompanied children arriving at the southern border. Lets go to Steve Harrigan in mission, texas. What are you seeing . Youre right there on the ground. Were showing you a shot live drone pictures over the rio grande. You can see theyre headed towards a path thats beaten down about 40 feet deep in the center and strong current. At this location not a good place to cross. Fox news has learned that in some sections along the border with texas my grants are being released without court dates. If you can see the Processing Center from a distance theyre struggling to deal with the numbers of increased migrants. Theyre opening a new facility in pecos, texas. They could expand it later. 2,000 with tents and the criticism of the conditions that children are being held in continues to grow. It is no place for a family with young children. So they have to have they have to add capacity at the hhs shelter who are responsible for caring for these kids until they can be placed. Unaccompanied minors are allowed to be held with customs and Border Protections Facilities with three dai. S as many as 1,000 have been held beyond 10 days as the push for investigation into the conditions continues. Back to you. Dana thank you. Bill brandon judd, president of the national Border Patrol council. Good morning. You have been watching and listening to this. What would you tell the American People about where this goes next . I think that the main thing that we have to take away from getting rid of the notices to appear is that this is, in fact, a crisis. When you look at the unprecedented steps that were taking, were in a situation weve never been in in my 23 1 2 years as a Border Patrol agent. Were on pace to break all records in the history of the Border Patrol. What i will tell you again ill be very critical. When it needs to be but im also going to give credit. The fact were getting rid of the notice to appear is not necessarily a bad thing as far as alleviating the stress on our facilities. This is going to allow us to process people through a lot faster and it is going to put the onus on them when they get to the locations they are headed to, chicago, illinois, miami, florida, it will put the onus on them to report to ice to get that notice to appear to get all of that Legalization Paperwork that allows them to be in the United States until their Court Hearing takes place. Bill why wouldnt they just stay underground . They should have. If you look at again when you look at the dismantling, when you talk about putting the blame on a past administration for the failures of the current administration, when you look at the numbers going back to all the way back to 2017 when we dropped to 45year lows in illegal immigration and we did it again in 2019, dropped to 45year lows in 2020. The clearly shows the policies were working. If you thought that the policies remain in mexico were inhumane dont get rid of it until you have a new policy to replace it. Thats what this administration failed to do. They did not replace it with a policy that would actually address the issues the remain in mexico policy fixed. Dana tom homan was on mark levins show last night. I dont care if you loved or hated President Trump. You cant deny the fact he gave us the most secure border in my career, which is almost 35 years. I started in 1984 as a Border Patrol agent and spent my career on Immigration Enforcement and President Trump got it right. He had unprecedented success on that border. Dana ill get your reaction to that. I think you would probably agree with that and ask you if you Border Patrol agents working there now, what are you hearing from them . They arent allowed to talk to the media. Thats another thing thats extremely frustrating for the Rank And File agents. You have to be able to tell the media whats going on so the American Public understands. I go back to tom homan. He didnt just work under the Trump Administration. He was the head of ero under the Obama Administration. He has more experience in two different administrations, democrat and republican. So he obviously knows what he is talking about. If you look at people like me who are current employees of the Border Patrol, we can clearly tell you this is what is happening on the ground and the policies are not working as of right now. Bill thank you for your time and well see where it goes next. Excellent input there. We mentioned mayorkas over the weekend blaming part of it on covid. Play this clip and well talk about that. Were working on providing footage so that the American Public can see the Border Patrol stations. Were working on providing access so that individuals will be able to see what the conditions in the Border Patrol station are like. But first things first. Were in the midst of a pandemic and focused on operations and executing on our plans. Bill he was on a lot of networks. Go ahead. Dana thats not how this works. In our system of government, with a free press, the press is the one that has the access and then they provide the footage. You dont accept footage from the government as the case. Bill but again i dont think the white house is getting enough pressure on the reporters who cover them to make a move just yet. Do you think so . Dana last week in that briefing where i said there is a change now because all the reporters were asking at the same time and they were questioning. I actually think for example chris wallace, Every Sunday Show Yesterday was making news on this issue. Abc news had their entire sun show went to the border. Whether or not the people in the Briefing Room are giving them pressure the Biden Administration is under pressure and now there is a humanitarian emergency. The question will be you were warned during the transition. Why didnt you act . Bill last point on the covid pandemic. If youre a College Basketball player in America Today in the March Madness tournament and you have a positive test or teammates or coaches do, your season is over. Here if you cross the border illegally and break our laws and you test positive for covid well put you on a bus to the Dallas Convention center. It is that upside down. Former President Trump will join about Harris Faulkner to talk about this and more. Stay tuned for two hours from now. Dana fox news alert.

Just last week the president saying taxes would only go up for individuals making more than 400,000. Now the white house is acknowledging thats not the case. The wall street Journal Editorial Board put it this way. Down the biden Tax Threshold. In the campaign 400,000 in income and now its half that. Maria bartiromo is on fox business. Who better to explain this. Maria, i assume they realize they wouldnt be able to raise enough revenue if they didnt lower it. Thats exactly right, dana. Thanks so much. Were not seeing enough revenue from the quote, unquote, rich and unfortunately we saw this coming. President biden has said many times, as most recently as last week to George Stephanopolous that Nobody Making One Cent less than 400,000 will see a tax increase. Jen psaki says no, 400,000 pertains to families. So if youre a twoincome family where one is making 200,000 and the other spouse is making 200,000, then its the people who make 200,000 that will see higher taxes. Of course, we saw this coming because there is no way that just taxing the highest earners will bring you enough revenue to pay for all this massive spending going on. They will have to go down the trenches and tax people making much lower than that. Now we get the truth that it is actually making 200,000 or more that you will get taxed. We see a journal editorial about this this morning called down the biden Tax Threshold and the journal is pointing out other taxes that may potentially come out. Maybe there is a gas tax, maybe there is a wealth tax, maybe there are other taxes that will continue to try to raise revenue because they want to put as much as possible into their spending plans. Everybody knows if you are the head of the household or the head of a major corporation, the first step in actually cutting your debt and actually getting your financial house in order is stop the digging. Stop spending massively. So this 1. 9 trillion Spending Package that was just passed that was only 10 covid related is the reason that the republicans were so angered about this package because so much of it is just spending on pet projects of the democrats and now they are forced to raise taxes on everybody. Dana i want to ask you this. One of the things they said was we had to pass this bill in order to stimulate the economy. Questions like does this economy needs stimulating . Some areas maybe yes. If you are raising taxes and at the same time saying you need to stimulate the economy using taxpayer dollars to simulate the economy, isnt it wiping itself out . It is, dana. It is really the right point. An excellent point because were seeing the recovery well on its way. We continue to get Economic Data that shows were going to see growth in 2021. Expectations call for growth all the way up to 9 for 2021. I spoke with Cornerstone Macro and they talk about the stimulus checks already getting in peoples Bank Accounts right now. Were seeing a surge in consumer spending. She is expecting gdp growth in 2021 of 9 . Yes, we do not need anymore stimulus at this point especially since there is so much money, almost 1 trillion still left that has been unspent from the last stimulus package. So to say that the economy needs more federal money now is certainly debatable and you are going to see higher taxes slow things down. One thing you know that when corporations get higher expenses like a 35 corporate rate or 28 corporate rate from the current 21 theyll start pulling in their spending elsewhere. They will stop the hiring binge. They will stop the spending on r d. Thats whats coming, dana. Dana the Corporate Tax rate going up as well same result. Maria bartiromo, thank you so much. We appreciate it. You want to stick around for this. Georgia Attorney General chris carr will join us next hour and get brandnew reaction from him on the covid Relief Package and how he is working to make sure it doesnt interfere with their states tax policy. Bill details on a lot of this stuff. There is a provision if you take the money for your state, city, county you cannot lower taxes. Thats the debate theyre having now. An appeal to see whether or not thats the case and whether they can lower taxes if they take it some of these communities are getting hundreds of millions of dollars. It would easily cover their budget. Dana if you were a state and you had a tax cut plan that was supposed to go into effect including in georgia for foster care families they have to rescind that if they take this money. Bill georgia and 21 other states are challenging this, too. Minneapolis, meanwhile, bracing for violence during the trial of former Police Officer derek chauvin. The socalled Autonomous Zone. It became a hot spot for violent crime. Neighbors and Business Owners say enough there is enough and matt finn is live. Hennepin county courthouse in minneapolis. Good morning. Shortly after george floyd died last summer fox news went inside that Autonomous Zone many times for peaceful demonstrations. But today going near that area can be a safety risk. This is one of a few blocked off entrances to the site where george floyd died. It is referred to as George Floyd Square now considered an Autonomous Zone. There are still large barricades, still large sign telling people that they are entering the free state of george floyd. Its almost raining down daily down there. It has become totally unsafe. Nelson is the spokesperson for cub foods. Consider the site of floyds death. Nelson didnt want to meet us in floyd square. He considers it too dangerous. Im an unapologetic black man so i understand the solidarity and understand the angst and anger. At some point do we continue to make others suffer while we are mourning . Signs instruct people to enter think visiting auschwitz. Shootings in the area have increased by more than 2500 compared to 2019. Right now the uptick in violence around that area is unacceptable. I put them on notice. Enough is enough. Our come unteef will not tolerate this anymore. A city survey revealed 65 of 900 people that work or live nearby want George Floyd Square reopened immediately. They think its in honor of george floyd but it is really disrespectful to continue to hold a community hostage. And this morning Jury Selection in the George Floyd Death trial is scheduled to resume opening arguments are scheduled for next monday. Bill matt finn watching that from minneapolis.

Biden Administration Says it will have enough vaccine for every adult in the u. S. By the end of may even without as extra zen kas vaccine. Dana money could be the problem at the root of the problem. Border patrol sources say criminal organizations made 14 million a day last month. Trafficking women, children, families and single adults over the u. S. mexico border. William la jeunesse is live in los angeles. How is this hurting taxpayers . Taxpayers are on the hook. Remember these criminal organizations pay off police and corrupt officials with their profits and undermines the strengthening the president s goal of strek evening than the law in you pay 4,000 to 9,000. Children and families pay less because guides drop them at the river or fence. Adults have to get to a stash house or van. Border patrol estimates criminal organizations earned 411 million in february alone. Thats about 14 million a day. Some of it is giving up life savings. Some of them are paid once they arrive in the United States and working off this debt for prolonged periods of time. Bill u. S. Taxpayers are paying more than 5 million a day for food and shelter not including the daily hotel costs of all the agents we assigned to texas or 86 million for hotels for migrant overflow. The san diego the county asks the feds to reimburse shelter and Case Management for migrants in transition. Money to nongovernment organizations that take on these refugees and they want an indeterminate amount of money for something permanent and a blank check. The white house says the trump policy was cruel and inhumane. Justice figures show the Trump Administration granted more Asylum Applications at a higher rate than president obama in his first or second term. The point is that you made earlier. The Biden Transition Team was actually warned in december what would happen if it ignored some of the trump policies. So it is disingenuous to say today they were caught offguard or surprised. Dana william la jeunesse, thank you. Bill Border Patrol agents recently captured more than 100 people in several smuggling attempts. In laredo texas on the border. The city is waiting for fema to arrive and help out. Texas mayor pete saenz in laredo. It caught my eye. You had a Tractor Trailer pulled over, 44 people inside. A commercial tanker, 43 people inside. Another Tractor Trailer march 9, 24 people inside. What are you up against, mayor . Exactly that. Thank you for having me this morning bill. Thank you so much. Just a brief description. Laredo is 160 miles uprivers from brownsville and 600 miles down river from el paso so people know. Land port in the entire western hemisphere. Yes, weve been each region. Laredo section is different from the el paso and del rio. We experience more single adults from last year compared to this year, there has been about 140 increase. Thats substantial. And 90 of them are single male adults primarily from mexico. Of course, these folks then through the cartels or the criminal activity that we have in the border area on the mexican side and overflows to a certain extent onto our side. Although our cities are safe but yet matters of this caliber do occur. They end up in stash houses. From the stash houses they end up boarding these Tractor Trailers or these vans. We have had a significant increase close to 4,000 arrests 2,000 arrests in stash houses and i would say about close to that amount also on these vans and Tractor Trailers. As a mayor that concerns me. Obviously there is the potential of things escalating and more overflow. Im glad the Border Patrol is here and federal agencies. Bill they have to do something. Ahead of Homeland Security they said the border is secure and the border is closed. Is it secure and closed, mayor . No, to both those questions. I heard that yesterday from both President Biden and also from Secretary Mayorkas. These are good words and i appreciate that very much but words need to be followed by actions. We havent seen actions yet. Does it mean that these uacs unaccompanied and families turned away to continue using title 42 . If not, then those words are meaningless. So what do we do . Honestly, i think there is a plan to amend the asylum laws. So people can apply from their countries of origin. That would be great. The point here being is that we need to prevent this journey from those countries to the border. It is less risk, life and limb and money and so on to these folks but also here in the community. Were the first responders. They need to be cognizant of that. We need this thing remedied quickly. Bill thank you, mayor, pete saenz has a battle on his hands. Thank you, sir. Well stay in contact. Thank you very much. Thank you, bill. Dana fox news alert. U. S. Supreme court to reconsider the boston bombers death sentence. I was talking about how i watched the coverage during all of this.

Alex hogan is live in white plains, new york, to tell us what that means inside the classroom. Alex, hello. Hi, bill and dana. Monday morning classroom brings memories back. Things will look different in classrooms now. Before school desks were six feet apart. Under the new cdc guidelines theyll be three feet apart like this. I have my mask off because were in a closed set. Kids and teachers will need to wear their masks. This is just three feet headtohead. So it almost looks like a classroom from what you would remember. Barriers no longer necessary per the new cdc guidelines in common areas kids will still need to sit six feet apart. Teachers will also need to stay six feet away from students. Something that these new guidelines are bringing up some different mixed emotions. Not all teachers agree with them. The American Federation Teachers Association released a statement saying well reserve judgment until we review them especially as they apply in districts with High Community spread and older buildings with ventilation challenges. Most teachers unions agree that kids will benefit from inperson learning, something this guidance will allow. Much like teachers and their parents in general opinions dont always line up. Six feet i think there would be safer. Dana follow the guidelines of the cdc. I learn better in person because we get help from the teachers and you get the better experience. Now this guidance will be for grades k12 in areas in high transmission they still need to sit six feet apart. This school is keeping the barriers. They say thats what makes families feel safe. Other areas and parts of the country like Los Angeles County they say their schools will not follow the new guidelines. Bill interesting look. Alex hogan in white plains, new york. Dana john kerry will join chinas top officials with a Virtual Meeting to discuss cooperation on climate issues on the heels of a bilateral summit from u. S. And china last week. That meeting was a frosty back and forth. General jack keane is a retired Four Star General and fox news senior strategic analyst. I felt that china really expected the United States to treat them as an equal. Im not sure thats what happened. How do you see it . Well, i think one of the expectations that china had when the administration changed from President Trump taking a tough stand on china certainly to the Biden Administration, i think many chinese diplomats and observers there believed that the Biden Administration would be more like the Obama Administration of the past. Which generally speaking had a policy of appeasement and accommodation to the chinese except for the very last couple of years when their rhetoric started to recognize what was really happening. So what has happened here the Biden Administration has largely accepted President Trumps tough stand. They will go about it a little differently but all the principles of it and the specifics they bought into. Give you an example. No change in the trade deal. No change in Export Restrictions or sanctions. Theyve increased sanctions on 24 more officials and calling out the genocide of the uighurs and crushing the hong kong democracy and intimidating taiwan and other allies. Those are pretty specific. But thats also rhetoric. It is not largely Policy Implications in terms of the challenges that are ahead. I believe the Xi Administration will test the Biden Administration in the future to see if behind their tough stance that they are taking with rhetoric, is the resolve there . Is the determination to truly back our allies and confront the Chinese Communist advance in the indo china region at large the world itself . That remains to be seen. Thats an open question. I do give them some credit for standing up to the chinese and telling them what problems we have with that they are doing and certainly yes, it turned out to be a little bit of a Slugging Match as a result of it. But listen, dana, the United States, the people in the United States recognize china as the number one Security Threat to the American People. And that fundamentally is shoring up this administration certainly. It has the wind at its back as a result of that. Last year the threat was iran by the American People to be number one. So much has changed. Dana just a quick question for you. Secretary of defense austan went to afghanistan. There is a big decision they have to make about whether to keep the timeline for withdrawing all of our troops from afghanistan. Do you have a sense how you think that will go . The deadline is may 1st. Thats certainly around the corner. Listen, the talks have stalled rather significantly between the taliban and the government of afghanistan and others who are participating in it. Were trying to reenergize and revitalize those talks next month in turkey. The United States and the government of afghanistan and others and the taliban will attend. The deadline is almost here. I suspect given there is no Peace Agreement, given there is no ceasefire and violence taking place on a significant level every day that deadline will be extended for security purposes. And i think thats the most logical and reasonable thing to do regardless of where you come out on this issue. Because until there is a Peace Agreement and ceasefire we dont have much of anything of stability in afghanistan. Dana always great to see you. Well keep in touch as the deadline approaches. Bill how are your brackets doing in March Madness . Thumbs up or thumbs down. Dana for March Madness . I dont know, it has been March Madness. I didnt have ohio winning. My bracket lasted for a day.

A powerful democratic imperative for giving everyone rights and National Political logic. Senate has become a principle obstacle to social progress across a whole range of issues. Marc thiessen is here on that. Good morning to you on a monday. Ill use your quote. This is not about principle, it is about power. Go. There you go. Jamie raskin said it. This is all tied up in the fight about the filibuster. Right now democrats would need 60 votes to make d. C. A state. If they get rid of the filibuster they only need 50 votes and then 50 votes to pass everything in their agenda. Now on the surface it would seem short sighted. No permanent victories in politics, right . Republicans will take power and pass their agenda with 50 votes. Not if they dont take power again. If you add puerto rico, district of columbia, two more safe democratic seats in the senate. Add puerto rico its two more democrat leaning seats. They could bolster their Senate Majority by four seats simply by taking these two and make it almost impossible for republicans the take back the senate in 2022. Bill January Of 2015 joe biden was then Vice President he said you should be a state. Joe biden doesnt have a vote on it yet because he isnt in the senate. Call for number two. House dems are eyeing the kitchen sink for the next big bill. It continues marc. They are looking at ways to muscle through priorities using the process that led to party bypass republican votes for its covid bill. What do you believe would be next for them . Here is the thing first of all. Joe biden wouldnt be enthusiast particular about state hood if it was republican leaning. It is that they can make it harder for republicans to gain back power. We talked about d. C. Statehood would put the senate out of reach. If you get rid of the filibuster they can also expand the size of the house. Which hasnt been done in over a century. That would mean that there would be more states more seats from populous blue states to bolster their house majority. It would make it harder to take back the presidency because the Electoral College is based on the size of a congressional delegation. If you expand the house, you also expand the number of blue state electors. Which makes it harder to win back the presidency. They are talking about packing the senate, packing the house and packing the Electoral College and making it sure if there is a conservative backlash against this radical agenda it is harder for republicans to ever take back power. Thats what the agenda is. Bill a lot of people thought it was a pipe dream. Do you see it that way or inching closer to the possibility of it becoming a reality . Because we lost in georgia were standing joe manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are standing again us and armageddon in terms of this eliminating the filibuster. A very dangerous and perilous situation. Again, if they go too far with their agenda they will cause a backlash but they can build a firewall against the backlash by expanding the size of the senate and expanding the size of the house and making it harder for republicans can win the Electoral College. Bill Marc Thiessen in d. C. Thank you, sir. Dana interesting. The new senator from california who took harriss slot is saying the filibuster has to go. He has been in the senate for 10 days and now when you have institutionalists retiring at a fast clip what marc is warning about is very real, i think. Bill a great point. Dana check this out. There is a curfew in effect from 8 00 p. M. To 6 00 a. M. Are you commanded to immediately and peacefully disperse. Dana chaos as swat teams descend on ocean drives after rowdy partiers refuse to cooperate with an 8 00 p. M. Curfew in the south beach area. Bill good morning. Begin a new hour an a new day. Police making more than 50 arrests since friday confiscating eight guns in the process. Miami beach remains under a State Of Emergency officials voting to extend the citys curfew as far as april 11th. Phil keating is in miami with the latest. Whats happening, phil . Clearly it is early this morning and so the streets are pretty empty and everybody who is partying late last night are sleeping in undoubtedly. Last night was a little bit mellower than the nights previously have been. Police last night, the first night out of four they did not choose to shoot Pepper Ball Bullets to disperse what has been an unruly crowd nightly. Night number two of the State Of Emergency curfew happened at 8 00 and it was then enforced about 15 minutes later but a lot of people still didnt abide for a little while. Despite a Large Police Presence the Partying Crowd was defiant until the end. Some jumping on ton of a car. Numerous nights have seen chaotic fights with groups of people exploding with flying fists. Men and women and crowds running. So much Chaos City Leaders declared a State Of Emergency on saturday. All restaurants and bars now must close at 7 00. This was the scene last night just hours after the city held a Special Sunday Meeting to extend that 8 00 p. M. Curfew all the way until april 11th. When Something Like the crowd whether its gunshots or Something Else like that and hundreds of people are running through the streets panicked we realized that is not a situation that any police force can control. Since the spring break season began 1,000 people have been arrested in miami beach. Half of them from out of state. Bill. Bill thank you, phil keating miami beach with more on that. Police chief said it cant go on like this and theyre doing something about it. Bringing in the swat team. You needed to do that with all those people on the street. Dana a lot. I wonder if people the pentup demand. Bill no question. Dana have fun. Could get Out Of Control. You have to respect the police. Bill also add florida has been pretty much open for some time and you have to think about people from other states, a lot of people arrested over the weekend came from out of state. They are looking for something to do and they found it in miami beach until now. Dana yeah, take a look at this. Secretary mayorkas is plainly in over his head. No matter how many Tv Interviews he does from washington wont let press travel him to the border or bumling statements that joe biden said. Actions speak louder than words. Dana Biden Administration working to keep up with the surge of migrants at the southern border. Fox news confirmed Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley in texas are taking the unprecedented step of releasing migrants into the u. S. Without a notice to appear in court. The ongoing crisis on the border has become so dire Border Patrol has no choice but to release people nearly immediately after apprehension. There is no space to hold people even to do necessary nta paperwork. Have you seen this firsthand . Good morning, dana and bill. Yes, i have. And i watched the Press Conference with Secretary Mayorkas yesterday where he claimed the border was secure. We have a different definition of border security. Bill he said the border is secure, the border is closed. Right, sheriff . He did. Bill what does your border look like . Let me just say i came out yesterday for several hours to help my deputies and within several hours we had a deputy stop an rv with 35 in it. Another Vehicle Pursuit where they fled from us. We had two walking down the middle of our town. Another one couple of them walking right down the middle of our streets. Im just telling you there are stats in our county are off the charts. Record highs like back in 2019 and beyond. Dana what do you know about this idea that the Border Patrol is now saying well have to release some of these people into the country and then the onus will be on them to catch up with Ice Officials at their final destination . Without a notice to appear in court. Does that usually happen . Dana, let me just say this. There are over 800,000 waiting just for court dates for the Immigration Ins System to work. All were doing is backloging that and stressing that. Thats a sevenyear window because of the backlog. They are releasing them. We know theyre releasing them. It is almost an orchestrated plan here. Stats speak for themselves when you address this. Lets look at Something Else thats really important. On the Public Safety side of this. This is what we know. What dont we know . Its scary who is coming into this country. And Secretary Mayorkas made a comment yesterday about this is the plan. Well, you have governors, you have mayors, Attorney Generals, sheriffs, federal Law Enforcement all saying what plan . Weve never been given that plan. Or even know what it s. I dont think the press has, either. Bill you said its an almost orchestrated plan. What do you mean by that . What i mean by that, bill, you look at my county alone. Since President Biden has taken over, all our checkpoints are shut down, our aerostat for Low Flying Aircraft is shut down. Border patrol station in my county is shut down. They do childcare and processing. And were being told Effective March 28th that Border Patrol will not respond to the northern part of my county if my deputies stop a car full of illegals. You look at Ice Detentions down. It is all orchestrated. I have a hard time believing this is coincidental. Dana orchestrated because they want to get to what sort of outcome . No doubt in my mind. Open borders. When you look at the drugs. 200 increase of heroin over the last since last year. 124 in cocaine. These drugs are go sboong communities and schools. Every american should be standing up against that alone. Bill strong language, sir. Appreciate you coming on today. Well be in touch with you. Okay, sheriff . Thank you. Bill now ill get to the this is real. The effort under the filibuster to silence republicans in the minority. New york post opinion piece. The only reason to kill the filibuster is to empower democrats. Karl rove former White House Deputy Chief Of Staff, fox news contributor. How are you doing, karl . Good day to you on a monday. Is this going to happen . Well, we dont know. Its clear that the pressure is there. I thought the piece by david in the New York Post was terrific. He pointed out this is all about power and getting an agenda passed that they cant pass under the normal circumstances under the normal procedures the way weve been doing for decades and decades and decades by getting compromise and agreement between at least some elements of both parties. They wont do it. Just ram it through on a Straight Party vote in the senate that means 50 votes plus the Vice President to break the tie and that means get rid of the requirement that before you take up a measure, you have to have 60 votes to agree the take up that measure and discuss it. Dana a liberal columnist for the Washington Post warning democrats against doing it. I was saying there are so many senators, institutionalists and people there for many years and retiring and not running for reelection and new members of the senate like warnock of georgia. Here is what he said yesterday. This language about the filibuster is language much too puny. As an appropriate frame to talk about something as vital and as precious as Voting Rights. We have to pass Voting Rights no matter what and it is a contradiction to insist on Minority Rights in the senate while refusing to stand up for Minority Rights in soe. Dana instead of trying to reach consensus which is what the senate was meant to try to force, the idea is that just to get rid of the rule so you can pass what you want. Yeah. Where was his voice when the democrats used the filibuster 300 some odd Times David Points out to obstruct the trump agenda . Was he condemning that as a racist effort on behalf of the democrats when they slowed up things and defeated things and kept things from being taken up . Look, the rhetoric has gotten way too Out Of Control here. Lets be clear. Hr1 is not about protecting the essential Voting Rights of americans. Thats already done. What its talking about is putting in place a regime of power that gives the democrats dominance for decades to come and takes over inserts federal oversights and allows things like Ballot Harvesting which is illegal in most states. Here in texas we found it was being used in fraud in democratic primaries so there was a huge bipartisan vote to outlaw Ballot Harvesting in texas. Hr1 under the guise of Voting Rights institutes this activity. Raphael warnock has shown true colors. Left winger all about power and willing to call anybody who opposes him a racist. Bill it gives a person an individual the ability to go out to a particular location and pick up votes and bring them back to the Election Center is what Ballot Harvesting is. And here in texas it was used by some operatives to basically prey upon people who were bedridden and infirm or mentally deficient and basically go take their mailin ballot, fill it out and mail it in or take it in. Bill you mentioned the post piece. I wanted to quote this real quick. The real problem with the modern senate some would argue isnt the existence of the filibuster but reconciliation. But this debate is contrived by liberals and the media for one purpose only, to empower democrats to lord over half the country without debate or compromise. Thats the article that you were referring. Last word. Just remember, these bills are not being passed through normal procedure. Not Committee Hearings or amendments, not a vote to send to bill to the floor. Not a debate and an opportunity to amend it dramatically. Everything is constrained and everything is placed on rush and the object is get it done and put it into the law books in order to achieve a social goal, a political goal, ideological goal that might not otherwise be possible if the normal rules were followed. Bill thank you, karl. Nice to see you in austin, texas. Remember we had tom cotton on last week talking about the filibuster. He said ill stand here as long as you want. Dana he said try me. Bill dick durbin said this on cnn on sunday. Watch. I would like to see both sides come together and say this is reasonable. Talking filibuster, personal commitment is reasonable. Right now there are two or three senators on the republican side have to check the box to go forward with the bill. They control the floor of the senate. If they want to control the floor of the senate let them stand at their desks and make a speech to show that commitment. Like mr. Smith goes to washington try me. Cotton says. It may come to that. Dana well see who can stand. Last senator standing. This is not how a bill becomes law. We have to go back did you like that cartoon . I loved that. One time for halloween i went on bill on capitol hill. Great costume. Excellent. Bill we have 47 minutes to find it. Dana republican Attorneys General have a message for the white house, backoff. Why they say the biden stimulus prevents them from cutting taxes for Hard Working Americans and how they are fighting back. Bill teen vogue has another controversy. A senior staffer who supported the ouster of the Editor In Chief has a history of racially charged tweets. Should she be held accountable or is it time to cancel the cancel culture . I dont want to talk about cancel culture and this nonsense every week. I dont think people understand how much this is a tsunami and how fast the goalposts change. Almost on a weekly basis.

Bill republicans accusing democrats of a power grab as the House Committee reviews the results of an extremely close race in iowa from last november. Republican won the election by six votes. But democrats are considering pulling her from the seat she won giving it to the loser of the race, a democrat. Why would that be . A good question for our Chief Washington correspondent mike emanuel. Bill Republican Leaders are sounding the Alarm Warning House Speaker nancy pelosi and allies are trying to overturn a State Certified election. Iowa Second District was a super tight race between a republican and a democrat. Key republicans saying miller meeks won the seat certified by bipartisan election officials. I support maiernet. I want to certify these results. This is certified, a Bipartisan Commission that certified these results. She was sworn in january 3 a duly elected representative in the house of representatives. To flip the seat would require a vote in the house with some moderate democrats potentially not feeling comfortable with changing the outcome. I wouldnt talk about overriding. A lawful process the committee has underway and see what that process produces. Republicans insit hart should have gone to the courts to make her case. Democrats respond there wasnt time before the state certification deadline. What a story to watch. Stay on it in d. C. Dana critics calling out hypocrisy at teen vogue days after the magazine parted ways with its newly named Editor In Chief over anti asian tweets she posted when she was 17. A senior staffer who helped lead the charge against her has a history of controversy social media posts. Carley shimkus joins us now. Is there no bottom . This whole situation reminds me of the phrase from the bible let he who is without sin cast the first stone. A lot of people these days, dana, are casting stones without reflecting on their own sins. This situation is a perfect example where you have a Teen Vogue Staffer whose name is who said all ekesy cant work here and she has passed herself racist twiets. Should christine also be fired using the precedent she herself set . The answer would be yes. Thats the wrong answer. We cannot live in a society where people automatically get fired for bad things that they have said 10, 12 years ago. I have already seen many calls on social media for her to get fired and that is the wrong way to think about this. This is supposed to show the pitfalls of cancel culture. Not promote another victim of it. Dana listen to bill maher. He has been talking about it quite a bit on his show. Not just what you do now, what you do now, it is anything youve ever done. Now what you listen to, they can get you for that . What you order, who you say you like, any sort of association . Dana ive been doing the book tour and i get this question a lot. How do i help my children deal with woke cancel culture . I have to say aside from basically not doing any social media at all, not sure what to advise. Any suggestion . It is a scary situation out there. I honestly think your recommendation is pretty spot on. Dont go on social media would be the best way to avoid it. I also think this doing this exact thing is the best way to flip the house in two years or make President Biden a oneterm president. The reason President Trump won in 2016 had to do with Border Policies and also the fact that he said a lot of things that are still okay to say but people are too afraid to say them now because of cancel culture. He also defended america on the world stage. Our cultures and traditions. When a lot of people on the left see everything through the lens of race and never acknowledge any redeeming thing that the United States has done. That idea has infiltrated universities, which is why you get a lot of questions about this on your book tour. Also the military, pop culture, hollywood. As that movement is growing there is a Counter Movement growing alongside with it. Dana i wonder if this young woman will also be fired from teen vogue. We need to stop the firing. I hope not. Thanks, dana. Bill this was the scene last night in miami beach. That city declaring a State Of Emergency. A curfew is in effect. A City Of Miami Beach Commissioner will join us in a moment. Asylum seekers make their pleas to President Biden as we get an inside look at one of the few times at a migrant tent camp. Whats inside . Well show you coming up. Terans.

Dana as the white house grapples with the surge of migrants at the southern border we get a look inside a tent camp. Hundreds are hoping President Biden will grant them asylum. Griff jenkins is there. Not just hundreds its upwards of 1,000 here in this camp here in tijuana. Growing ever since President Biden lifted the remain in mexico policy and people saw some would be allowed to cross into the u. S. Let me give you a look here. Were just at the foot of the Pedestrian Bridge over to the california port of entry. You can see these tents and folks here just starting to wake up. Now its earlier in the morning about 30 minutes ago some music started playing, people started milling around. This is unique unlike two years ago when we were here in the same spot because of the caravans because they are flying biden flags. Theyre wearing biden tshirts. They believe that President Biden will help them, wants to help them and they will have a good chance of getting over. They get restless and growing impatient. What one migrant told us. We need an answer. People trying to survive. If biden will see this, he said i will hear their story. Please, biden, let us in. Dana, on the other end on the east side of the United States in the area where we were earlier in the Rio Grande Valley a Big Development there in that area. Border patrol agents processing people without issuing a notice to appear, a court date. So theyre coming across the rio grande river, being fingerprinted, putting in data and put on a bus and taken to the local bus station and turned loose and the responsibility to seek an Asylum Hearing is for those migrants to go to an ice office or through the Legal Process and get one themselves. That is what officials believe will draw a lot more migrants not just to the Rio Grande Valley but also in this area, well have to wait and see exactly what impact it has, dana. Dana people respond to incentives. Griff jenkins, thank you. Bill oh Border Patrol put out a statement. The nta, youll hear a lot. The ongoing crisis at the border has become so dire Border Patrol has no choice but to release people nearly immediately after apprehension because there is no space to hold people even to do necessary nta paperwork. Dana they work for mayorkas, the secretary, okay . He is out there saying everything is under control, the border is closed. We have this situation handled. But if you have your own agency that works for you saying something different. Bill the border is secure, the border is closed. That was the quote from sunday from the head of the department of Homeland Security. How many people do show up later . This is something or do they just disappear into the country . This goes back to the ongoing debate weve had over illegal immigration for decades. Dana you will want to keep it here for The Faulkner Focus. Former President Trump joins harris next hour to discuss how the Biden Administration is handling the situation at the border. Bill well see that top of the next hour. 32 past from florida. Fox news alert. Miami beach extending the curfew in south beach to three weeks from now after Out Of Control Spring Breakers nearly overwhelming police over the weekend. Here is a shot from that. Swat teams went to ocean drive to break up these massive crowds. Police say they made more than 50 arrests. Confiscated at least eight firearms. Ricky is a miami beach commissioner. Thank you for your time. Swat team, State Of Emergency . Is it necessary . What are you up against . Thank you for having me. Were in a tough spot now. We have very, very large crowds gathering here for spring break. At times they have gotten Out Of Control as the videos you just showed attest to. There has been property destruction, there has been fighting in the streets, and our Police Department is trying to keep everybody safe and keep things contained. The crowds continue to grow and behavior is not changing. So we have had to impose some tough measures including a curfew and closing down the cause ways to try to mitigate some of the Out Of Control behavior. Bill it is remarkable stuff. You think about spring break and the pandemic. How does that all come together when florida is a state that has been trying to be rather open during all this covid . Florida has had Great Success during this pandemic over the past year. The situation we have here with the Spring Breakers is a little bit different. They forget there is a pandemic. And there are very large crowds. Setting aside the Health Concerns which are really important, the behavior is what we have to deal with, right . Were already trying to mitigate the spread of the virus but moreover now dealing with people fighting in the streets, destroying businesses, destroying property. So it compounds the situation were trying to deal with. Bill i saw this quote from your city manager in miami beach. Raul said this is a spring break like no other. Not all people that visit miami beach are bad. Come to miami beach with intent to break the law and disrupting our quality of life. This is a different situation and calls for drastic measures. Are those who are on south beach or miami beach, are they from florida or out of state . What do you find . Well, the folks were seeing in these Videos Misbehaving like this we have had over 1,000 arrests, the vast majority are from outside the corner and many from outside the state. They are clearly tourists misbehaving this way. Visitors coming down for whatever reason. Great weather were having compared to other parts of the country. So yeah, a lot of these are out of town guests were seeing behave this way. Bill thank you for your time. Good luck to you. Swat teams, State Of Emergency. Didnt see that one coming. Especially during covid times. Thank you, sir. Thank you for having me. Bill good luck. Dana search for a woman missing in the Virgin Islands taking another turn next.

The Biden Administrations scramble to keep up with the migrant surge saying in the span of a few weeks the Biden Administration has turned a National Triumph over a National Disaster. They are taking on water fast. Charlie hurt, harold ford junior former tennessee congressman. I notice yesterday over the weekend the white house convened a Conference Call with democrats, leading democrats across the country to talk about the strategy to deal with, one, the politics and communications of the issue. What about the policy of the issue . Thanks for having me on. I think youre right. Reliance more on reaction and not allowing the press access are mistakes. I will say i give them credit, however, for two things. One, recognizing we have to treat the 80 of people coming to the border with a different kind of policy and strategy, that being children. Ive said on this show before i think a greater set of thought has to be given to a more serious set of thought has to be given to what we do in terms of some sort of targeted Development Aid to that region of the world in our own hemisphere. We can continue to try to score political points. It helped former President Trump four years ago when he ran. It helps democrats every 2 to 4 years. If thats what we want we should expect what we get at the border now. If were serious about it a broader, more Come Prehenceive Set of ideas and solutions need to be applied starting with securing our border. Dana families on the border, migrant families apprehended in january was 7,294. In february 19,246. Mark meadows former Chief Of Staff at the white house under President Trump had this to say. Well have almost two Million People crossing the border illegally this year. When you start to look at those kinds of numbers, there is no other way to describe this than this is really joe bidens Hurricane Katrina moment. Dana you were there in 2005 . Does it ring true to you . It does. The big difference being this is entirely something of joe bidens own making. Katrina was certainly not anything of anybodys making. Without a doubt it is a crisis, it is a humanitarian crisis, it is a sovereignty crisis, and it is also a medical crisis in the middle of a pandemic. I cant help but look at the images we see out of miami beach right now where everybody is rightfully concerned about people gathering and concerned about it from a sort of medical standpoint. But at the same time you look at the border and the administration is claiming this is not a crisis, not a problem. Yet thousands of people, many of whom some of whom arent even tested. Other people are tested and found to have covid and then they are released into the general public. It is there is no way of looking at this and seeing anything other than a policy that is driven bay radical, extreme agenda at the same time you have democrats in congress who are pushing two bills to grant Blanket Amnesty to these people streaming across the border right now. At some point you have to ask yourself what is going on here . There has to be something going on here . I think were starting to see democrats who realize this is not something that is just a concern to republicans or conservatives. It is a concern to democrats, Rank And File democrat voters. Thats why you start seeing people like representatively coming out what is going on at the border it is not working. Dana do you think the democrats are understanding the magnitude of their situation here . I think everyone is. To try to make this political and democrat or republican i get the politics of that. The reality is these people are fleeing from awful conditions to a country that has much better conditions. We cannot accept everyone. A better policy other than reaction has to be what guides the administration. I would hope my republican friends show the same zeal to try to solve the problem as they do trying to score political points. Dana harold ford and charlie hurt on a monday. Nice to see you. Bill hurt and harold. We were talking earlier about this wellknown photographer who covered the border for a long time. He went to the mexican side of the border the take pictures. Dana he said thats never happened before. And he is calling on them to allow them to come in because what im saying over the weekend, they have this Conference Call to get everybody together you cant allow the republicans to dominate the narrative. The facts on the grounds are dominating the narrative. The republicans will maybe use this to political advantages. Bill theyve shut the media out. The photographs youre seeing is from a democrat. These are some of the very few and rare images we have seen from thousands and thousands of people who are now here in the u. S. Dana Democratic Congress people went down during the Trump Administration and had access. Took a lot of pictures, had a lot of photo ops. They have done nothing of the sort yet. Bill republicans taking their fight against President Bidens agenda to court. How the state Attorneys General are leading the charge. Harris faulkner with a big interview coming up in a matter of moments. Good morning, harris. Harris good morning. The gloves are off.

Has joined 20 other state Attorneys General in calling on the Treasury Department to confirm that President Bidens Covid Relief Plan will not prevent states from generally lowering their taxes. Last week Georgia Governor Brian Kemp tweeted democrats in washington, d. C. Have no business telling us we cant cut taxes for hard working people in georgia. Chris carr is here to talk about it. Thank you for your time. The way i understand the law is that if you take money from the 2 trillion plan, you are not able to cut your taxes at the state level until at least the end of the year 2024. Is that your reading of the law as well, sir . It is, bill. Good morning. Thank you for having me. It is. Thats the concern that we have. The question the fundamental question this not only going to be the covid bill but be known as the biden tax cut ban. What this law says in the 11th hour inclusion in this bill, it says you cannot use the funds directly or indirectly for tax cuts. Well, if thats the case, then that will be one of the most egregious federal overreaches in american history. Bill im reading the provision. Directly or indirectly offset a reduction in net tax revenue. Sounds pretty broad. Continue, chris. It is very broad. Thats the concern. Thats the concern that you cant be ambiguous. We understand using the money for that which it was intended, for vaccines and treatment, that sort of thing. But you cannot tell a state that it cannot do that which is protected by the constitution. It is fundamentally unconstitutional. That is one of the things that states do. We deal with revenue, we deal with taxation. So to say you cant reduce deductions or credits would be preposterous. In the state of georgia today Governor Kemp is signing two pieces of legislation, increase the standard deduction for married couples and those doing foster care. We wrote a letter to the Treasury Department. They may agree with us. As Ronald Reagan said, bill, trust by verify. Well need more than a statement from a spokesperson. Bill put up the states that have signed this letter to treasury secretary yellen. Look, there is a lot of yellow in the middle part of the country. Is it possible, however, chris. We had this debate last friday. Austan goolsbee argued when the federal government gave Highway Funds to state if they raised their drinking age from 18 to 21, they were able to accept that money. Does this follow into the same precedent that one could argue from washington, d. C. . No, it doesnt. Here is why, bill. That was a specific direction. A specific condition that went to the use of that money. Courts have said repeatedly you cant be ambiguous about placing conditions on federal funds. When you say you cant use these covid funds directly or indirectly to offset taxes, what does indirectly mean . Thats why were using all the arrows that we have in the quiver and keep all options on the table. We may need to go to court. My colleague in ohio has already filed a lawsuit. Were waiting to see. The courts are clear you cant be ambiguous. Also, you cant commandeer an anticommandeering provision in the constitution, the federal government cant determine and drive federal policy saying this is our preferred way of doing things and drive it through this type of funding. The ambiguity is clear. Bill david yost from ohio will be our guest tomorrow. The law also says you cant use it to boost your pensions. Well see whether or not that stands as well. If you have recourse, can you server that part of the bill out or is the whole thing free . Thank you for your time today. Chris carr is the Attorney General in atlanta, georgia. Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Dana police say the boyfriend of a british woman missing in the u. S. Virgin islands wont let them search the last place she was seen, on his boat.

No purchase necessary and also if you rn employee of krispy kreme and you get it four hours paid timeoff. Bill how many can you get at one visit . Dana it doesnt say on my sheet. I was wondering that. I know you will rush over and get a donut. Bill i wonder if other companies will start doing that. Dana when we show the Vaccine Update tomorrow on the map you could show where there is krispy kreme locations and people could plan their vaccine shot and krispy kreme donut. Bill pick up a dozen glazed with your vaccination paper. Dana i think you only get one free glazed donut. Maybe buy 12 and give an extra one and give away one. I thought it was nice. Bill very cool.

And shrugging off lawmakers request for him to travel to the southern border immediately to see the situation for himself. He told reporters he will go eventually. Are you thinking of going to the border President Biden at some point, yes. I know
