i'm sorry. [indiscernible] >> the question, the people -- [indiscernible] >> john: chicago residents erupting at a fiery town hall at times screaming at city officials over rampant crime that has turned the windy city into one of the most dangerous parts of america. fears of rising crime may about he more dire after this shocking incident in the upscale bucktown neighborhood, two men were seen on surveillance video following another man down an alley before viciously beating and robbing him in broad daylight. [bleep]>> sandra: just awful, that goes on for quite some time. the victim was able, thankfully, to get up and walk away, but all of this as crime victims are appearing at a house judiciary hearing in chicago today. no democrats showed but it is a warning that the end of cash bail in illinois will only put more residents there at risk of being robbed and beaten by criminals on the loose. chicago democratic alderman raymond lopez is here to discuss all of that, plus a live report from the crime-ridden city coming up. >> john: first, is time running out? resignation calls piling up for embattled new jersey senator robert menendez as now his garden state counterpart and long time friend cory booker has joined more than a dozen other senate democrats saying it's time for him to go. total number now up to 18 by the way. i'm john roberts in washington. this is your second go around today, sandra. >> sandra: it is, warmed up, ready to go. good to be with you, john. despite menendez holding a defiant news conference yesterday in which he claimed the hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash seized from his apartment were not bribes, it does not appear to have turned the tide in his favor among his senate colleagues. >> john: complete coverage now moments away on whether the dam is breaking for menendez. >> sandra: bryan, more democrats called on menendez to resign. number is growing. >> 13 a minute before i got on here, and now it's 18, and that includes amy klobuchar and gillibrand, but none more notable than long time friend and colleague, new jersey senator cory booker, says it was "mistake" for senator menendez not to resign yesterday. in a statement released this morning, senator booker writing it's not an admission of guilt but acknowledgment that holding public office is tremendous sacrifice at great personal cost. senator menendez has made sacrifices to serve and i believe he has spent his life serving. senator booker testified on menendez' behalf during his last federal bribery and corruption trial in 2017 that ended in a mistrial. senator booker and republican senator lindsey graham served as character witnesses, booker calling menendez then "honest and trustworthy," adding that menendez was -- that he had the backs of the forgotten, those who struggle with poverty and hurt. this time yesterday like i said, there were about three senators, now that number is approaching to half of the democratic senators in the senate. former house speaker nancy pelosi also saying it's probably a good idea for senator menendez to step down, too. this as people focus on menendez' curious explanation why he had $480,000 in cash stuffed into envelopes. yesterday menendez said he had this cash because he is the son of cuban immigrants. >> for 30 years i have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account. which i have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in cuba. >> he walked away yesterday without taking any questions. reporters shouting about the gold bars, 11 in his house, and the mercedes benz. nothing to say and he did not talk about whether he would run for re-election. he is due in court for his first appearance tomorrow alongside his wife and four other co-defendants in this case. we'll see. >> sandra: very interesting. breaking news now, president biden has joined the picket lines with striking auto workers, first time ever a sitting president has done so. dip in and listen to the president. [cheering] >> good afternoon, uaw family. i want to thank local 174, walker rouger. thank the leadership and director dickerson. because you are all the reason we are here, this is all about the membership. this site, willow run, it holds a historic place in the history of our union and our country. this was part of the arsenal of democracy during world war ii. it's where they built the b-24 t liberator bomber. that bomber, they built one of those per hour when they were at their peak. it's what helped us win the war. so today 80 years later, we find ourselves here again. with the arsenal of democracy. it's a different kind of arsenal democracy and different kind of war we are fighting. today the enemy isn't some foreign country miles away,s it's right here in our own area. it's corporate greed. [cheering] and the weapon we produce to fight that enemy is the liberators, the true liberators, it's the working class people, all of you working your butts off on those lines to deliver great product for our companies. that's how we are going to defeat these people, how we are going to defeat corporate greed is by standing together. [cheering] you know, this is an historic moment, first time in our country's history that a sitting u.s.a. president has came out and stood on the picket line. our president has chose to stand up with workers in our fight for economic and social justice. it's an historic day, historic moment in time. just -- it's about the auto workers who are part of the fabric of the working class of this country. we are the people that make the world run. it's not the billionaire class, not the elite few, it's the working class of the billions of people who have been left behind. that's what this battle is about. changing that. you know what's going to move this, it's not executive that owns our future, it's us. it's working class people from all walks of life. it's what we decide to do together that's going to change it, going to shape the future of this earth and for future generations. and that's the economic reality that corporate executives don't want us to recognize. i see these ceos try to justify a system where they take all the profit and the workers are left to fight for the scraps and live paycheck to paycheck. that's got to end. they say they deserve all the profit because they say they are different. you know what they are different. they have different degrees. they have different responsibilities. they have different titles, different positions. you know what, i agree, though, they are different, we will talk about some of that. these ceos sit in offices and meetings and make decisions. but we make the product. they think they own the world but we make it run. the ceos think the future belongs to them. today belongs to the auto workers and the working class. and the difference between them and us is just as our theme song, "solidarity forever" says. without our brain and muscle, not a single wheel would turn. that's what's different about working class people. whether we are building cars or trucks or running parts distribution centers, whether we are writing movies or performing tv shows, whether we are making coffee at starbucks, whether it's nursing people back to health, educating students from preschool to college, we do the heavy lifting, we do the real work, not the ceos, not the executives. and though we don't know it, that's what power is. we have the power. the world is of our making. the economy is of our making. this industry is of our making. and as we show, if we withhold our labor we can unmake it. and as we are going to continue to show when we win this fight with the big three, we are going to remake it. in this union the members are the highest authority. in this country, the people are the highest authority. and so today i just want to take a moment to stand with all of you, with our president. and say thank you to the president. thank you mr. president for coming. thank you for coming to stand up with us in our generations' defining moment. and we know the president will do right by the working class and when we do right by the working class you can leave the rest to us because we are going to take care of this business. so thank you for coming out. thank you for being a part of this fight. and let's get back to winning solidarity for all of our members and economic and social justice for all of our members. >> we have said many times, wall street did not build the country, the middle class built the country and unions built the middle class. that's a fact. so let's keep going, you deserve what you've earned and you've earned a hell of a lot more than you are getting paid now. thank you very much. >> sandra: all right, president biden there first time ever for a sitting president to join in on the picket lines of the united auto workers. you heard the head of the united auto workers, shawn fain there a few moments ago talking about his workers living paycheck to paycheck. sort of interesting to point out, john, we have been reporting on more than two-thirds of the country report that they are living paycheck to paycheck during this sky high inflation, but he says it is -- but he says it's about them and an interesting moment for sure to see happening apply out live in michigan. >> john: the president did not speak much at the top, but he did say the uaw saved the automobile industry back in 2008, you made a lot of sacrifices, gave up a lot when the companies are in trouble but now they are doing incredibly well and guess what, should be doing incredibly well also. the president, i guess it was karine jean-pierre saying look, the president is not taking the side of the union but when you go out there and you stand on the picket line with the union, i don't know how you can see it in any other way. >> sandra: interesting to get the reaction from the major auto companies and the ceos to see the president and the picket lines. about a year ago at the detroit auto show, the president was out visiting with mary barra, taking a tour of the corvette, they were walking through the auto show together and now this moment. >> john: yeah, i mean -- really appears to be throwing in with the union, as much as the white house would like to say it isn't. but david avella pointed out, still no endorsement for the president from the uaw. dozens of democratic colleagues calling on new jersey senator bob menendez to resign. david avella, and kevin walling. so, it's up to 18 now. we mentioned that cory booker had joined, that's pretty significant, a supporter of menendez. mark kelly of arizona said. senator menendez has the same constitutional rights and presumption of innocence as any other american. however, a u.s. senator is position of public trust. these are serious and alarming, a breach of trust and burden i believe will prevent him from fully serving, he should resign. kevin, you were the first one on fox to say he should step down. clearly everybody was listening to you. >> i guess i made it cool -- no -- as we talked about on friday when the indictment came out, just the facts alone laid out in the document was just so overwhelming any ability for senator menendez to serve out his term without this kind of distraction has gone by the wayside. and he should resign and i think if democrats are going to prosecute the case against a return of donald trump facing these 91 indictments, we have to be on the same page when one of our own faces a legal jeopardy. so, it's consistent and important to see the democrats come forward. >> john: the flip side of the coin, david, if former president trump under indictment four times can continue to run, why shouldn't menendez stay in the senate? >> menendez can stay in the senate. what we know here is that for democrats, they see menendez as more of a political liability than hunter biden being a political liability. >> john: you think he should say? >> no, he should go. that said, if democrats were serious about this, they would expell him. we have not had a member expelled since 1862. mere talk of expulsion would get a senator senate or republican in the past to resign. david durnberger got censured. why don't they go all the way, say it's time to expell him. >> john: the two things together. if as you say menendez should go, should trump continue to run for president? >> the president is going to continue to run whether he should or not, he's going to continue doing it and republican voters are going to decide whether he's going to be our nominee or not and right now there's a clear voice that they want him. >> john: you want to put a button on that? >> when the only elected person coming to your event is george santos in support of menendez, george santos should resign, bob menendez should resign, and donald trump should suspend his campaign. >> john: big moment tomorrow night, seven republican candidates, criteria to make the debate was 3% support in two national polls, 3% in one national poll, two polls from four of the early voting states, at least 50,000 unique donors and sign the rnc pledge. here are the seven candidates who made it on the stage. we have desantis in the pole position. now and mike pence is relegated to the edges here. >> somebody has to break through and be the economic message voters say we want that over the message that donald trump the front-runner is giving. the challenge for that, much of the good economic policy that came out during the trump administration starting with the tax cuts. i mean, if you are not for making sure the child tax credit continue, making sure the standard deduction stays where it was reduced to after 2017, you have to be able to make that case. so you have to make the case that you have a better economic policy than what donald trump did during his four years as president in order to get any ground on him. >> john: there are still 7, 1 got dropped from the debate stage, that's asa hutchinson, but not the point where any one person could come forward to legitimately challenge the former president. >> it's true, and relegation of governor desantis, 13, 14% in polls, after a start of 30, 40% at the start of the year. nikki haley had i think the best debate performance back in august at the first fox debate. she raised more money in the 24 hours after that debate than most of the other candidates combined. now she's running second or third in national polls and each of the three early states. so my focus is going to be on how nikki haley performs tomorrow night. >> leading the pack in south carolina, but 32 points behind -- a long way to go. >> john: good to see you. >> sandra: good discussion, thank you guys. retail theft, meanwhile, a fox news alert. new numbers show it is surging across the country. stunning new figures on how much it is now costing stores and ultimately you, the shopper. can the u.s. economy survive this? mr. wonderful, kevin o'leary, is here on set to answer that. plus this. >> you know who is the most likely to be harmed by racism? our children. you know who would least likely engage about it, our children. >> john: top anti-racism activist accused of blowing through more than $40 million at a boston university research center. now administrators are asking where did all that money go? an author ahead on troubling trend of race-based programs in higher education. from pep in their step to shine in their coats, when people switch their dog's food to the farmer's dog, the effects can seem like magic. but there's no magic involved. (dog bark) it's just smarter, healthier pet food. it's amazing what real food can do. we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they have a clue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. someone needs to tell them, that they're sitting on a goldmine, and you have no idea! hey, guys! you're sitting on a goldmine! come on, guys! do you hear that? i don't hear anything anymore. find out if you're sitting on a goldmine. call coventry direct today at the number on your

i'm starting a private equity fund that specializes in midcap. you do you. switch to xfinity mobile today. >> sandra: retail theft has been plaguing businesses across the country and especially in democrat-led cities. a stunning new report is showing how bad that situation is getting. according to the national retail security survey, retail crime accounted for over $112 billion in industry losses just last year. that's a jump from 94 billion in 2021. bring in kevin o'leary, chairman of o'leary ventures. i'm trying to digest the number, that is stunning. what is happening and can our economy even go on like that? >> kevin: no, it's not sustainable because if you look at businesses, let's take sectors like grocery. margins are 3 to 5%. shrinkage was 1, 2%, second take that, but now it's sometimes 6, 7, it's completely unprofitable. that's why in places like san francisco, which is probably the case study for this whole situation, everybody is pulling out, the grocery stores are pulling out, hotels are pulling out, convention centers are shut down, nobody there. it's not safe to walk at night. the place has become a war zone. i don't think it's really politics anymore, i think it's bad policy is what's happened here and not sustainable. >> sandra: i'm looking through the report and while retailers have taken some drastic steps to prevent things like this happening. and by the way, these are drastic incidents of retail theft. but this is happening every day while your big department stores are open and people are just walking out with stuff. stuffing in their purse, stuffing big bags and walking out. we see that happening every day. they are taking a lot of measures to prevent this, and to address it. but that costs a lot of money. and guess who that is passed down to, the paying customers, ultimately. so, retailers are reporting that they are forced to close specific store locations, a third of them report that. some have decided to reduce operating hours, 45% of them. or reduce or alter in-store product selection, guess what, take the expensive stuff off the shelf or put it in a case. >> kevin: i have investments in 40 companies, we sell a lot in big box retailers. here is what you don't know. selling a high priced electronic item or even a padlock. it used to hang off the shelf, customers could touch it, read the back and the front of the package, now it's displayed in under glass. you can't touch it. you see this happening all over the place with razor blades, for example. when you put an item under glass, touching the product is gone. it's losing 30% of sales. it's a side derivative the theft and shrinkage is up so much. but if people steal things and tell them they are not going to be prosecuted or pursued, they will steal stuff. it's really bad policy. >> sandra: looking at the united auto workers picket line, the mention of the folks living paycheck to paycheck paying for the inflation most attribute to the president's policies. we are telling businesses they have to pay for the security measures, pay workers more because they are paying for all the inflation out there, everybody is paying more for gasoline to get to their job, i mean -- i go back to the initial question, can the economy continue like this. evil cycle we are in. >> kevin: it's very difficult. the debate with the union and manufacturing and automotive union, it's not going to work. i understand 20% increase in salary, i get it. they want more but probably end up with 20, maybe 25 max. but this idea of taking a work week down to 32 to 34 hours, that will bankrupt the auto industry yet again and everybody will be bailing out. when that happens. the world competes for automotive. and what will happen, we'll be flooded with much lower costs unless we put a brick wall around the border and say nobody can sell anything in america, that's not going to work. so i'm watching the debate closely. i get it on the wage increase but if they go to 32 hours, it's over. >> sandra: that is really interesting. quickly put up on the screen, washington post poll on the financial situation, those who believe they are better off 15%, worse off, 44%, about the same, 39%. lump that together, you've got 83% that say they are worse off or about the same. not moving ahead. this is the president claiming he's the most pro union president ever, kevin, your quick response out of it. >> i intend to be the most pro union president, pro union administration in american history. i meant when i said the most pro union president in american history, no apologies for it. made a commitment, the most pro union president in american history. >> sandra: can he tow the line between the priorities, the union and the climate initiatives? >> kevin: i argue it's not a winning strategy. he needs the majority of the independent voter, 50% are not pro union. you cannot win with just your base, either him or trump, cannot endorse unions when half the independents don't endorse them. trump wants to stay out of that debate and for biden to do it and show up, the first living president to do this, i think it's bad election policies. the advisors are saying i'm not sure, boss, not sure i like this one, the independents see it on the news tonight, that takes me over the age. and 50% of the independents, they want a negotiated settlement but don't do allegiance either way. >> sandra: and the split screen for the border where he is not visiting, but did show up at the picket lines. john. >> john: sandra, fox news alert, what is the president missing by not visiting the border? well, this is the latest influx of illegal migrants across the rio grande in eagle pass, texas, we have been for the last week. bill melugin was down there a number of days, griff jenkins is there as well. and this is the latest group of migrants to walk across, wade across the river, come up through the concertina wire, it had been cut open by border patrol agents at the order of the federal government to allow illegal migrants to come up the riverbank of the rio grande without getting snagged on the concertina wire put there by texas dps to keep people from coming into the united states. over the weekend on a single day, we saw 11,000 people cross the southern border. that is as many as anybody can remember in recent memory. the total for the month of august was just posted on the customs and border protection website, 232,972, which is worse by almost 3,000 from what we were told it would likely be. putting the total for fiscal year 2023, runs from october 1st to september 30th, so we still have a few days left, 2,200 -- 2,206,039. and if september continues on a pace with august, looks actually like september is going to eclipse august, that number will likely go above 2,400,000, that would eclipse last year's numbers, set an all time record as well. this as new york is calling out the national guard to deal with the situation there. we'll keep watching this, courtesy of our fox flight team under the bridge and again as bill has pointed out, the legal port of entry is on the bridge on top of those folks but they wanted to come in illegally. sandra. >> chicago is an active war zone. cook county has become a revolving doors. officers lock up violent offenders but find them back on the streets. >> the problem is it's so normalized here the numbers are not even shocking to us anymore. >> sandra: victims of chicago's violent crime slamming the soft on crime policies during a hearing today. this past weekend, 30 people were shot, including an 86-year-old man gunned down in front of his home after simply retrieving something from his car. garrett is live in chicago on this for us. garrett, it is just absolutely heartbreaking to see what is happening there. what's the latest? >> yeah, sandra, we now have video of one of the latest violent robberies to happen in chicago and warn folks some of this is hard to watch. this surveillance video comes from yesterday afternoon in the popular bucktown neighborhood. 33-year-old man walking down an alley yesterday afternoon when two guys come running up from behind, sucker punch him and then beat him in broad daylight as he tries to fight back, about of they eventually take his bag and belongings and casually walk away as if nothing happened. that crime is still under investigation and no arrest have been made. so far this year, chicago is averaging more than 27 robberies and more than 81 carjackings a day, which is in part why today republicans on the house judiciary committee wanted to hold this field hearing to put a spotlight on the city's progressive policies. >> let bad guys stay on the street you shouldn't be surprised when you get more crime, defund the police, and ends cash bail, shouldn't be surprised when you get more crime and you shouldn't be surprised we have a 1700 police officer shortage in the city. that's what left wing policies have done. >> testifying at today's hearing is former chicago police officer carlos yanos, jr., he and his partner, slain officer french, were shot while trying to make arrest. >> time to stop coddling criminals, only then will they stop and think about of they carjack, shoot, kill a law abiding citizen. >> republicans held a similar hearing earlier this year in new york city, and no democrats attended the hearing, they called a political stunt to distract from the potential government shutdown. republicans will hold other hearings at other progressive cities across the counsel troy to show voters what happens when they elect progressive lawmakers. sandra. >> sandra: garrett, we are going to dig into this more coming up when we speak with chicago democrat alderman raymond lopez. he'll be joining us coming up, he was at the field hearing in chicago and he is responding to that new video of a 33-year-old man who was going about his daily business, 3:00 in the afternoon yesterday, when he was attacked by two men and robbed as they walked away in a bucktown alley. all caught on video. he responded by saying nothing in that video is a detainable offense and no bail required #fail. that democrat will join us next hour. >> john: they beat that guy senseless. boston university looking into its own anti-racist research center over allegations of mismanagement and a hostile work environment. center's founder and pioneer of the anti-racism movement, already laid off half his staff earlier this month. but the b.u. inquiry is putting it under scrutiny. so, this research center received tens of millions of dollars in donations, chris, but only produced two original research papers. a boston university sociology professor, affiliated with the center said "to the amount of cash and donations taken in, the outputs are minuscule." people are wondering where the money went. >> record donations to groups like black lives matter, to groups like kendy's anti-racism center, and the blm organizations, the leaders looted it, headed to the hills, dewent to the mansions and left it in shambles, the most spectacular academic failure in many years. hoovered up 40 plus million dollars, produced almost no research, even a single research scholar could produce more than two papers in 2 or 3 years. this is at the heart of the movement. it's empty, it has nothing of substance, it's all about taking in cash, producing nothing, taking personal paychecks in many cases and running when everything falls apart. it's a symbol of where we have come since 2020 and why that movement is floundering today. >> john: "new york times" wrote a comprehensive article, said in part, in response to him laying off more than half the staff, on wednesday boston university announced it was conducting an inquiry into complaints from staff members which include questions about the center's management, culture and the faculty and staff experience with it as well as its grant management practices and kendi had bold predictions saying it would solve these intractable racial problems of our time. bold prediction that doesn't seem to have come through. >> christopher: it was a bold prediction great for fundraising but disastrous for producing any work. but many of us saw this from the beginning. it was very clear that kendi was a fraud in 2020. signature idea, he wanted to use the government to discriminate against one racial group to benefit another racial group and called it anti-racist discrimination. for any neutral observer, racism in a new direction. he has nothing to offer the debate and i'm really glad to see his research center implode. it's the ultimate vindication for those of us that said critical race theory is not a solution to the problems, and poetic justice and marks the end of this chapter in this left wing racialist saga. >> john: chris, less than a minute left, ask you about something that happened in florida. the state of florida shaking up the sat and act by saying it would accept at its public colleges the classic learning test as an entrance criteria. the wall street journal said the college board, which oversees the sat said little evidence proving the clt can adequately assess college preparedness. big news, coke thinks pepsi doesn't adequately quench thirst and the knock on the clt, too heavy an emphasis on biblical passages and traditional western thought. some colleges you don't even need to take the sat or act anymore, why not this? >> christopher: well, it's a huge step in the right direction. i'm on the board of advisers for the clt. the college board has used its status to push left wing politics through the a.p. programs and other tools. the clt is the antedote, a rigorous test, great results for students who take it and now get into colleges across the state of florida. it's a big victory in breaking up the cartel of the college board and good to see. >> john: all right, chris rufo, great to see you as well. thank you for joining us today, appreciate it. >> sandra: israeli commandos granting fox news rare and exclusive access to looking at a palestinian bomb-making factory. trey yingst on the dangerous mission. >> john: the second republican primary debate tomorrow night in simi valley, california. a make or break moment for some of the candidates? one of the fabulous moderators, dana perino is here on that just ahead. the monthly payments can be expensive. with an affordable home loan from newday, you can pay cash and own the car or truck of

carbon emissions. the company introduced the prototype using recycled bottles in 2021. scientists and engineers tested more than 250 variations of materials as well as hundreds of other plastics. they are working on a plan for sustainable moments but the moment, sandra, it realized it pollutes more to recycle than it does to create new oil-based bricks. puzzling to me, hundreds of companies doing this effectively. >> sandra: imagine that. just like the green policies in washington, enacted before we really know what we are doing or the transition is ready. we are a big lego family, big lego family. >> john: ready, fire, aim -- >> sandra: exactly. john, israel's military raiding a palestinian bomb factory and fox news is on the scene embedded with an elite israeli command unit as a firefight breaks out. trey yingst joins us from jerusalem. a rare opportunity. what did you see? >> one of the deadliest years between israelis and palestinians in recent history. saw this firsthand as a cameraman and i were granted exclusive access to a nighttime raid in the west bank. >> right now palestinians are engaged in a gun battle inside the refugee camp. we have to move quickly. it's 3:00 a.m. in the west bank, and the israeli military is entering the city. >> you stay in the car. >> they received intelligence about a palestinian command center and explosives factory. the troops from the commando unit must move carefully. streets are covered with bombs, bulldozers rip up the earth below. >> an the only which to take care of the booby-traps. >> mosque loud speakers notify the refugee camp to intruders. in a nearby house, soldiers take cover. they have located their party but are pinned down. >> right now the israeli military is in a firefight with palestinian military inside the refugee camp, you can hear they are firing from the window of the house trying to hit the militants shooting at the israeli soldiers. pushing deeper into the camp, israeli forces return fire, killing two palestinians. palestinian militants are firing on the soldiers. they have to move from house to house in order to avoid that fire. and it's a difficult job but they have to clear this area, part of the task in tonight's operation. >> beneath a civilian home, the israelis locate what they are looking for. soldiers find roadside bombs, boxes of ieds and the materials used to make them. across the hall, on the other side of a booby-trapped doorway. dozens of camera monitors. reminder that the israelis are not the only ones surveiling their enemy. in early morning controlled explosion destroys the buildings and as the sun rises, palestinians survey the damage from the raid, then hold funerals for the dead. one, a fighter from hamas, the other they claim a civilian. in a statement hamas officials called the raid a barbaric act, the israelis say the operation was a success. sandra. >> sandra: trey yingst on that story for us, embedded with the israeli military unit there, you will only see it here. trey, thank you very much. >> john: fox news alert, keeping track and count of the number of democratic senators who are coming out saying new jersey senator bob menendez under indictment for allegations of corruption and bribery should step down from his position in the senate. he currently serves as the chairman of the foreign relations committee as well. sandra, cory booker who is his colleague and long time friend is probably the most prominent of these. of the 18, intriguing to know ten are up for election in 2024 and don't want to face voters saying why are you leaving menendez in the senate. >> sandra: very interesting. senator cotton, the republican from arkansas says he has the right to test the government's evidence in court like any other citizen. he should be judged by jurors and voters, not by democratic politicians who view him as inconvenient to their hold on power, john. >> john: and the issue of a double standard, too. all the democrats, i don't want to say the democrats specifically, but lots of democrats are saying that former president trump under indictment fourall the democrats, i don't to say the democrats specifically, but lots of democrats are saying that former president trump under indictment foure cases, should not run for re-election so how would they ever allow menendez to stay in the senate if they are calling for trump to drop out. i guess they have to be consistent. but you know, menendez said two things that are true yesterday. these are allegations, and people are innocent until proven guilty. so -- see how it goes. >> sandra: the number is now at 18. now this. >> the sinaloa cartel and the jalisco cartel are responsible for the devastation we are facing. >> our indictments describe in detail how these cartels operate without respect for human rights, for human life. or for the rule of law. >> sandra: attorney general merrick garland and dea administrator speaking earlier at the second annual family summit on fentanyl, and also meeting with families who have lost loved ones due to poisoning from the drug. this as jason owens highlights how the border crisis is fueling the fentanyl epidemic, tweeting pictures of the drug at the border so far this year, including more than 2700 pounds of fentanyl. chad wolf is the former acting dhs secretary, also executive director of america first policy institute. thank you so much for joining us. i mean, our heartbreaks for the families, all who have been affected by this. they are speaking out. something has to be done. what is your message? >> well, thanks for having me on. i think the message here is that we need a new change in policy along that border and so i would love to hear the attorney general talk about steps that this administration is going to do to hold the cartels accountable. they should be public enemy number one. they are killing more americans today than basically anything else and yet it's a business as usual along the border in american communities and families are suffering not only the human trafficking, obviously that we see, but also the illegal narcotics and the fentanyl across the border in record numbers. this all stems back to a very porous and open border because of the policies over the past 28 months. i think it's incumbent on this administration and president to outline a strategy how he's going to get the border under control if he wants to do that and protect americans from the fentanyl crisis. >> sandra: record numbers, by the tons, owens' tweet with the pictures showing the drug busts by the cbp, and this is the chief, jason owens, he said with fiscal year '23 coming to a close in a few days, september '34, seized 69,000 pounds of narcotics at the ports of entry, 13,000 pounds of meth, 11,000 pounds of cocaine, 2700 pounds of fentanyl. why is this not being treated by the current administration as the emergency that it is? >> well, it absolutely should be. those statistics and numbers you cited are just a drop in the bucket and cbp and dhs will tell you they are likely apprehending a small percentage of what is eventually coming through, not only ports of entry but between ports of entry. we have all seen the photographs of individuals whether they be coyotes or other illegals coming across in camouflage carrying backpacks. of course they are carrying fentanyl and illegal narcotics. so again, there needs to be a holistic, strategic approach from the u.s. federal government, not only using department of homeland security assets, dea assets, atf assets, but also the military. look, all options should be on the military when we look at the cartels and we need to push the government of mexico to do more. they are complicit in this. and they need to be doing a lot more to help us secure that border. >> sandra: because people are dying, and that needs to be said. here is the number of deaths on the rise since 2020, 56,000 plus. last -- 2021, 70,000 plus. the last fiscal year, 75,000 opioid-related deaths. that's according to the centers for disease control. chad, karine jean-pierre, i think just last week was being pressed on the border because these pictures continue to exist, this is our fox flight team drone footage, the continued flow of the migrants coming over the border. karine jean-pierre almost in the same breath she blamed republicans for the crisis at the border, she claimed this president has done more than anybody to secure the border, and said he's doing everything he can. what is your response when you hear that? >> well, i think it's evident for some time the white house press secretary has 0 credibility when it comes to the border or other issues to that point. president has 0 credibility. american people are not blinds, and recent polling, the president has 23% favorability on the immigration policy. my question is who is the 23% who thinks the border is in a good place. pictures, data, everything from the border says it is a catastrophe. and that we need to change course and we need to start treating this as a national security issue because we also talk about the known or suspected terrorists, over 264 have come in over the last two and a half years, we also had a story just a little while ago about an isis-related individual smuggling people across the southern border. the national security and public safety threat coming across the border each and every day while our border patrol officials unfortunately are processing migrants rather than trying to stop bad individuals and bad people from coming into the country. >> sandra: the more and more people in the country, more and more cities seem to be waking up to this crisis, because it's coming to their front door. look what's happening in chicago, a democrat alderman joining us next hour said there is a drop-off at a local high school with no heads up that was happening, an i parentally it's happening right now. you have the pictures of kids crawling through razor wire to come in this country. obviously very inhumane situation unfolding there. i guess my last question to you is, i don't know, with the political season upon us, the presidential election coming up, will there be any change at our border? >> well, i don't think so, probably not until you get a new commander in chief. i think you hit the nail on the head, inhumane. policies over the last two and a half years are the most inhumane you can imagine. during my service as dhs acting secretary, when we would have a couple of deaths in custody in border patrol custody, a lot of individuals came over the border very sick and unfortunately died in our custody and in about six months we had 3 or 4 die and those on the left and i heard it from members of congress on the left and others were outraged. today on average, two individuals dying per day and so this is the most inhumane way to run an immigration and border security system, and i just -- it's hard for me to believe that more people aren't paying attention and aren't focused on this issue. this is again as we said, the cartels are killing upwards of 100,000 americans every single year. this should be public -- this should be issue number one. >> sandra: mr. secretary, thank you to much for joining us, appreciate your time today. it's shocking, stunning, but something we are all too used to now. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we can be downtown chicago, be robbed, killed, whatever the case may be, we al
