know attorney general merrick garland has named u.s. attorney david weiss who has been investigating him. as the special counsel in the investigation of hunter's overseas business dealings. weiss has been on the case since 2019 at the federal prosecutor in delaware. the attorney general said he requested the special counsel status this week nearly two weeks after the plea deal that weiss oversaw with hunter's legal team fell apart in corporate hello everyone welcome to fox news like i am eric shawn. aishah: hi eric so good to be with you on this saturday good to see you i am aishah hasnie in for arthel nevertheless a day off. trump appointed u.s. attorney weiss said yesterday talks were a new hunter biden plea deal have all but failed with the case is likely to go to trial. he says as special counsel he looked more independence from the justice department on this case. top republicans are calling or have been calling for special counsel for months now. now they are saying they cannot trust weiss' since he is the one who struck the so-called sweetheart deal. they call his appointment part of a d.o.j. attempts to cover up. they're going to follow the evidence wherever it meets. >> we are not going to let this go. weiss is not off the hook this up friday afternoon gambit is not going to work. we get are going to continue to ask questions about the biggest sweetheart deal and the history of america. we are not going when congress. click post go live to lucas tomlinson live at the white house with the very latest. >> let's member how we got here are just a few weeks ago hunter biden walked in the delaware courtroom thinking he would spend a few minutes to walk out at afreeman prick that did not happen. more charges could be coming we are still at an impasse and go to trial and special counsel has now been named. >> mr. weiss has the authority he needs but the steps you take appropriate independently based only on the facts and the law. special counsel has been a bad vest getting hunter biden for the past five years now. negotiate with many republicans called a sweetheart plea deal. weiss requested to be take the case out of delaware such as california and wa washington d.. might be a more favorable jury pool paired present biden left the white house afternoon for the beach. he did not take any questions before boarding marine one. a president biden of course is long main retain his son did nog wrong. his overseas business dealings. if the fbi document both he and hunter pocketed $5 million in the accreting energy giant. here is john yesterday with more amount. >> it almost comes two years too late. president joe biden as least as a witness if not more in an ongoing federal investigation brexit justice department is not commenting of president biden himself will be investigated per for those keeping score at home this is now the fifth special counsel in the last five years. and three are currently active. of course one to the president of the united states one to a son at one into the former president. aishah: not to mention this is all happening during a campaign year. lucas tomlinson live at the white house, thanks lucas. eric: republican lawmakers have called for special counsel in the hunter probe for many months. last september 30 republican senators sent a letter to attorney general garland demand just that. wanting weiss to be named as a special counsel. now that weiss is been appointed and has not placated help them further warning the designation they say cannot be used to obstruct their investigations on the hilbert alexandria hoff live in washington with that part of the story. >> hi eric were there with some republicans have been concerned special counsel at all would mean some of their investigative power will be taken away. but for others that really is just the name itself that's another issue. >> i was one of those who sent a letter saying we should have special counsel. on the other hand i have some question about weiss doing it. >> 's lucas mentioned weiss's u.s. attorney that negotiated hunter biden's probation only plea deal that eventually fell apart. republican congressman also feels weiss is responsible for allowing the statute of limitations to run out on a potentially felling felony charges adding this progress he denied access to subpoenas along the way. he gave updates to attorneys. he has shown his hand or to relate just be on the same team as a team hunter and team drove. >> spokesperson for house judiciary chair jim jordan stated we will continue to pursue facts brought to light by whistleblowers as well as weiss' inconsistent statements to congress. in my irs whistleblower gary shapley testified u.s. attorney weiss sought special counsel status but weiss attorney general garland disputed the claims. now that weiss has been granted that independent status, shepley says he feels vindicated. >> this announcement yesterday is absolute under quest vindication for coming for this the crux of the issue we brought forward to house ways and means committee in the house oversight committee. >> democratic congressman barrett providing his perspective on it all earlier, listen. >> i don't think is good for the country to see a former president on trial or the president son on trial. i would hope there's a way to resolve these without putting the country through either one of these cases. >> the critics also argue appointing a sitting u.s. attorney goes against d.o.j. regulations would state the special counsel should come from outside the justice department. eric: a lot of controversy, alexander thank you. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪. aishah: sights and sounds of the iowa state fair. you cannot make it up it's happening right now gop

unprecedented state of emergency. the immigration system in this nation is broken. it's been broken for decades. near city has been left to pick up the pieces. >> new york city mayor eric adams this past week appealing for help from washington dealing with immigration. newly 100,000 migrant i sought shelter in the last year 50000 a night now and city shelters. the new york reporting the deal between the governor i and to sd 1200 migrants and families to 13 shelter sites outside of the city upstate is now ongoing. this as new york has been overwhelmed as it houses the migrants for four popular soccer fields while pushing to move some to a closed military base in staten island. what can the country do about this neared city councilman joins us he represents staten island. councilman good to see you as always welcome to fox news. >> thanks eric. >> one side being discussed is on staten island which is on the boroughs of new york city the historic fort wadsworth. what are your constituents saying about potentially housing migrants at that historic military base? axis is not personal and entire defunct military base. we have active guard units is not for drill. it's active at least in part on the week and for the rest of this facility is a national park. i think we're finally reaching the breaking point. not only are we giving up our parks giving up soccer field school gyms having more of an impact than the raw number and cost we have been hearing about for the last couple of weeks. eric: would look at pics of fort wadsworth it's a beautiful sight under the bridge, tremendously historic. when will people be at a breaking point or is it past the breaking point in trying to deal with the issue? >> i think we're well past that. the mayor often says the right thing about the migrants discuss aher putting it into practice. he is not the ceo of a charity but we are not a nonprofit organization for the city and the menace of a corporation we are not here to be the world's refugee camp and at some point the mayor it just has to say we are full. we no longer will the city more hotels we will no longer give up any more of our parks for they want to do that perhaps but they are facing some lawsuits. at some point the lawsuits have to fall where they may get to say enough is enough. eric: with the broader issue republicans on capitol of gone nowhere in the senate is somewhat building the wall, seeking more restrictions for those who ask for asylum on the border. they remain in mexico this sort of thing. basically trying to crack down on it and hit it has gone nowhere in the democratic controlled senate. >> look this is something we can easily pen on demo the democratic policymaker starting with the senate and the president. we had a president just three years ago who believes we should have remained in mexico. we should have a border wall. we should have enforced laws along our southern border. we did not have a crisis that it was not perfect but we do not have a crisis. now we have every democrat in our state essentially saying this is a crisis this is a state of emergency we do not hear anything from the president or even the vice president vice president harris was just in chicago yesterday. she could have visited any one of the migrant shelters there and seen what her failures have done. after all she is the borders are. but of course she didn't because that would really give the media chance to highlight the detrimental impact this is having on chicago, on new york and everywhere else democrats have considered a century city. support governor abbott of texas to be pressing the migrants of north of cities like new york, washington d.c., chicago and others feel the effects they have been feeling. for all of these years. given that has an effect or the democratic leaders wringing their hands trying to figure out what to do about this, if any think they cannot control it. >> i think abbott's actions have done two things number one they have certainly brought this issue to the forefront. now were talking about it. and number two i guess they are spreading the wealth if you will the cost of this migrant crisis. now basically every state is a border states it. let's be clear new york democrats touted for years, as long as i have been in office homes a decade they are going to be a century city. we have a right to shelter that extends to undocumented people. we're going to welcome migrants or with open arms. with a brought this on themselves and now they are actually scrambling to play the blame game the mayor's blade being the governor the governors blaming the mayor they're all blaming the president. i blame the democratic party in general. >> you think any of them have regrets? >> i think they do. i think when this was 5000 people it was a cute little experiment to show how woke we are or how we converge at signal as you pointed out earlier there are 57000 people in a shelter system who are here in this country who were not here just a few months ago. there is a population larger than helena, montana. we the nearest city taxpayers are single pane for every single aspect of their life. it's a cost we cannot bear we cannot pay more than we are paying for that a fire department and the sanitation department and posterity with no end in sight. so for expecting $4 billion not just telling about getting a couple of city sarasota, florida that his new york city house with migrants, sarasota, florida bentonville arkansas, casper, wyoming pretty small medium-sized. choate city

rescue crews searched for more victims. thousands of people have now left the island around 1400 are currently staying at emergency shelters here. it is still unclear how these fires started pre-but when they did ignite the island was a right for an inferno extremely dry conditions combined 70 to 80 mail and argos. hurricane dora fueled the flames create a challenging battle for the islands of

turning off the power which is something that happens in california anything new on that in terms of what caused this to spread so rapidly? >> at this hour we we've got no word from officials on why these fires were started. there were multiple that burned across the island of a maui none are fully contained at this hour. hopefully we will learn a bore but right now really the tragic news is the death coal continues to rise. this could be the deadliest wildfire in modern american history. write out the second deadliest wildfire put 80 people confirmed at this hour but. >> fire while just passing you an indication it is far from over. max, thank you so much. >> thank you. aishah: eric let's bring in james he is the global senior pastor for kings at cathedral church in maui. he and the church have been working tirelessly with the city is served to distribute thousands of meals there. other emergency supplies for fire survivors. a pastor, so good to have you on the show. first of all, our prayers are with you at this hour. we are hearing an extension of your church in lahaina was destroyed by these fires. what can you tell us about that and what has happened to those parishioners in trenton parishioners -- my party or family? >> we are one church about 160 campuses through the nation. through lahaina and united sites i was one of the extensions burned to the ground. we have kept track of our people. we know who survived we are only missing one person right now that we have not been able to find. we are hoping she is okay. they will come and worship here at the cathedral this sunday. it is very devastating. one of the things that happens when you have a fire like this the worst in people come out as well as the best. what i have noticed is the best in people willing to serve with their whole hearts. people staying up all night ministering to the hundreds of people that are here at the cathedral that we are clothing and sheltering and feeding. our businesses have helped too. her. people from all over the mainland have responded to the malate relief fund our church has started at kings cathedral. and god has done a great thing in terms of at least allowing us to help those in need. in fact, the word of the lord gave me when this began with psalm 46 -- one god is our refuge and strength a very present help in time of need. so we are here for the people. we are thankful we got a crew of volunteers that are giving themselves to help others. we are so thankful for the support of groups like city serve, convoy of hope, many stores that have given, the government is stepping in three different things like that people who have donated. people come out of the woodwork and said what can i do to help? it is amazing. tremendous expression of love. aishah: everyone is come together, pastor friend of the biggest need right now is shelter people do not have places to sleep. i am hearing people are slipping in their cars parked in parking lots they are just looking for summer to be safe, take their kids of the kids are not scared. tell me about what you are seeing in the dire needs. >> all i can tell you it was from the people who are here at the cathedral we open up all the pews. people are sleeping on pews. we are feeding everybody, hundreds every night, every day. the parking lot is filled with cars. some of the stories are absolutely amazing. i met a man on a wednesday night an elderly man about 92 years old he was hugging a tree trying to figure out what to do he could not go anywhere and a couple from our church there in lahaina picked him up and saved his life. that story is multiplied in many, many times over. it is hard when you are not there to imagine what it must have been like. but i remember the fire in paradise that happened in california a few years ago. my father-in-law live there. that was quite a tragic saying as well and the whole town burned down i guess we had the same thing here in lahaina. it's hard to even get in there now. you have to go in a convoy. it's still very difficult. aishah: really quickly, pastor, so many of us that are watching this have never been to hawaii. and we feel so helpless, feeling so, so far away. but we are just devastated spiritually devastated watching these pictures and hearing about the stories people jumping into the water, things like that. what can you tell us and how we can help how we can be there for you? >> well, two things. one is to pray of course pray for the people of maui. pray for the responders who were trying to help like our church and many others that are wanting to do something to help. secondly, you can contribute. one of the proms when a tragedy like this happens is you have a lot of scammers that set up go fun things and all of that. you don't know if you're giving to the right organization. we have been you're a long, long time. i've been pastoring a church for 43 years is grown from a church of 100 to thousands and thousands. it is a place to invest. what i would recommend is people look up kings cathedral.com. there is a banner and they can click that says it maui relief. whatever they want to give. aishah: we will direct them to that, pastor thank you so much for joining us. we know you are holding up this community as best as you can but we appreciate it. >> thank you for taking the time to allow us to

bill melugin is live at the southern border to tell us all about it, hi bill. >> good afternoon to you. the cartel of an iron grip on deciding who does or does not cross our border illegally. these images really reflect what's going on. take a look courtesy of texas dps one of their drones in brownsville looking across the river you can see cartel guys with machetes threatening and extorting migrants essentially telling them you are going to pay us or you're not going to cross the river. you'll see one of the migrants it >> in the back with a machete as one of the cartel members goes through his bag and dumps everything out. go see a big group of migrants scatter in all directions more the suspected cartel members with machetes comes over to them yells at them to pay up essentially but some of the migrants did end up making across the river they told texas dps these guys were not letting us cross but once we paid them they did let us cross the river that is why we see so many people wearing those cartel wristbands once and crossed into the u.s. showing they have paid a cartel. it's been incredibly busy here take a look at the video from the other night. 3m in the morning we were out in texas had a massive group of several hundred cross illegally all the same time predominately family units a lot of parents with their children and toddlers. a lot of unaccompanied minors little kids and teenagers made the journey alone. a lot of babies out there as well as border patrol sources tell me a large majority of these family units are released into the u.s. after they're apprehended with a future court date. these families know that that is when they seek out border patrol, turn themselves and they really do not have a hole out of fear of being returned or deported these days. we'll take you back down to brownsville this happened earlier in the week. a huge mass of several hundred migrants tried to rush 20 ports of entry down there this is the gateway international bridge after a false rumor spread on social media amongst the migrants the border was essentially going to be opened up to asylum-seekers obviously that was not the case. you

gordon chang 's here senior fellow at the queso institute of the coming collapse of china on the great u.s. and china tech war. gordon, it seems the topics of the books are coming true right now. is there a slow-motion collapse? we see the tech war by the signing of the new restriction an indication that seems to be increasing. >> there is a tech corporate present biden's executive order on wednesday was a step in the right direction. but there were too many holes in it, erica. also it's only a rule of proposed lawmaking. right now those rules will not go into effect until next year. the biden administration although it declared it national emergency with regard to tech is it acting like it is run your first question the chinese economy right now is at a point where it is almost contracting. underlying indicators point to essentially a zero growth economy. president biden said on thursday the economy was growing about 2%. that is generous. >> what does that mean if china starts going down the tubes? >> first of all will be delinking our economies regardless of what president biden what he has been dog whistling companies to stay in china. but xi jinping the chinese ruler has been pushing them out with this inspired policies he has been closing china off he has been undermining both private and foreign businesses. we saw this dramatically the first six months of this year. the merchandise a trade deficit with china plunged 34.7% that's really good news for the united states. traded volume decreased 19.7%. these are stark numbers but it shows where decoupling from china. >> you support that? >> i certainly do. first of all china declares the united states to be its enemy. it is strategically and morally wrong for the u.s. to bolster and strengthen the regime that is set its sights on us. but also we need to delink with china. because when china falls apart we don't want it to drag the united states and with that. we need to start cutting these links as fast as possible to protect ourselves progress or we cutting links of fast enough? you talk about medicines and pharmaceuticals. the chips the semi conductors the sort of thing. can we get to a point where we can be independent of china on these vital issues? >> we can get there we will have to get there because of the factors that are pushing the two countries apart. we are not seeing the president use executive powers and other powers of the presidency to protect the u.s. biden seems to be slow rolling all of this. he is right when he says china is a ticking time bomb. he says bad people referring to xi jinping does bad things he is right about that he gets an a for diagnosis. but he gets a d or an f for actually doing something about it there is no sense of urgency in the o oval office. and by the way there is no sense of urgency at the top of the pentagon either. that puts us in grave risk. >> why should the by administration be doing you think? >> first of all the executive order issued wednesday it should be a rule effective immediately. it should not allow any investment into china's tech sectors. not just the three or four designated. the reason is in china there's no military distinction like in our country. if you invest in the civilian country company all that technology gets pipeline to the chinese military under the doctorate of a military civil fusion that applies in china. >> what can we do militarily question work they are aggressive, they build the islands they are aggressive keep on poking taiwan. the deal with the south china sea. they keep building more aircraft carriers, spending billions of dollars for their armaments and their navy capacity. i was in kansas city at the world war i museum honoring and are murmuring that war. it seems to me there could be echoes of the same with what china is doing. >> certainly. right now there is a crisis in the south china sea where the chinese are trying to dismember the philippines. we have a mutual defense treaty. we need to have our destroyers out there to oppose the chinese craft that are engaging in some very dangerous tactics. some of the chinese a tactics amount to acts of war against the philippines. this is a slow brewing crisis last saturday the biden administration issued a warning to china and writing the united states was prepared to use force to protect the philippines. the american public is not paying attention because of all of the development internally. we are very close we are one incident away from a shooting war with china and the south china sea. >> and finally, what do you expect?
