Brian remember for the last time, i cant keep telling you this, your mornings are better because you are with friends. Ance start with a fox news alert. The funeral for Alexei Navalny just concluded. Brian the russian Opposition Leader is being laid to rest. Heavy Police Presence in the area. Steve alex hogan is live in our european newsroom with the latest. There is a lot of questions and concerns as to whether the tension will escalate. Thousands have gathered in the street, nearby a cemetery where Alexei Navalnys body is being laid to rest. Weve heard some people in the chants today saying his name, Alexei Navalny and saying, you were not afraid and we are not afraid. We heard protesters scream and chant words like murderer and no to war and we will never forget. This massive crowd congregated behind Police Barriers and heightened concern that people coming to mourning the Opposition Leader would be arrested. So far there have been no visible arrests, but too soon to say if that will come later. Brief 45minute service at a church nearby, before that, bumpy start with delay and handover of the body, image we can see, only footage just right now of what the service looked like at that time earlier this morning. There had been speculation as to whether today would happen. Prison officials refused to release Alexei Navalnys body and caved a week later. Navalny is vocal critic of the kremlin and died in a independental colony north. We have seen in attendance, his parents and u. S. Ambassador in russia. We are seeing chants taking place. We have not seen People Holding posters. There has been concern for the safety of people there and growing speculation as to whether there could be further arrest and whether there would be Police Crackdown on the protesters. Well monitor that. It shows bravely of people who showed up today. Brian and they arrested his lawyer, right . We heard that from lawyers urging people not to bring any kind of protest propaganda, any antikremlin messaging. We are watching that live stream and he is posting online from his former youtube channel. A lot of concern. Steve russia is good at Police Crackdowns, thank you for the live report. Ainsley they couldnt get a hearse, nobody wanted to drive the busy, trouble with the venue, surprised he was buried in russia. He went down with a fight and he wants to stay there. Steve the state held on to the body until whatever killed him had dissipated, couldnt trace it. Ainsley in georgia, funeral for laken riley will be held in her hometown of woodstock. Steve cops say an illegal migrant murdered the 22yearold when she was out for a jog and she never came home. Brian live outside the church where the service was held, madison. Family and friends of riley cant say enough good things about her. She was a passionate nursing student, Runner Andir Cafor everyone she met. This tragedy has shaken up people who live around uga. Sad and tragic. Youd like to think especially a spot on campus like that would be safe for a person to run on their own. She did everything right. It is really is a tragic situation. Rileys obituaries says her smile was infectious and she spread joy wherever she went. Ice says Jose Antonio Ibarra came into the country illegally in 2022. Her death has created a lot of controversy on immigration. The mayor was interrupted. Protesters want the mayor to resign. Former President Donald Trump was at the border yesterday and slammed President Biden over immigration issues and said he spoke with rileys devastated parents. What hes doing is unbelievable. Joe biden will never say laken rileys name. We will say it andy woo will remember it. We will not forget her. Its a horrible story weve had to live with for the last few days. A fundraiser in rileys name has raised 170 so far. Her family says they promise to honor her life in a big way. Back to you guys. Steve thank you. Somber day in woodstock, georgia. Ainsley they said she had strong faith, was close to the lord. Her church is called woodstock city church. Visitation starts at noon. Brian this guy was causing havoc and his brother was arrested multiple times. Requests to take him into custody ignored, he gets his brother and leaves his wife to get here and his kid. Goes to georgia, does this killing, im sure other crimes we will find out about and his other brother seems just as bad. The theme is tragedy. Subtheme is preventable. Here is tom homan. They are burying a child and have to live with the fact her last few minutes of life were terrorized. She tried to make a call to 911 and she fought for her life. She did not want to die. She did not have to die. I get so emotional on this issue, this is senseless, could have been prevented crime. He should be in remain in Mexico Program that biden killed. Brian well hear that phone call, too. Ainsley President Trump talked to the family. I dont think joe biden has done that. Trump was criticizing joe biden for saying hes on the border and has not mentioned her name. Steve that is different about this particular case. We hear about the migrants coming in and talking a lot about the migrant crime in new york city, chicago, elsewhere, when you can affix a face and victim and you look at laken riley and think, she did not have to die. Had they simply had that town and who knew athens, georgia, was essentially a Sanctuary City not working with ice, same as new york city. The mayor here, hes been a johnny come lately to this whole thing where now he says seasonal allergies. He says we should probably cooperate ice when it comes to felony. Do you think . If you are a Sanctuary City, that should be the red line. You commit a felony, we call ice, period. Ainsley white house is saying, we want you to work with ice, now they say that. We played a clip in the 6 00 hour of Democratic Leaders who said they did not want ice involved, they wanted sanctuary cities. They wanted to defund the police and look where that has gotten them. Brian senator Kamala Harris called Border Patrol president equated him to nazis, not Border Patrol, the head of ice. He is saying that is to push ice back, they were the problem trying to get ll lils out of the country. They are not the problem, they are the preventer. Nine after the hour, President Biden and former President Trump making visits to the southern border yesterday. Steve making stops, mr. Biden toured brownsville and mr. Trump went to eagle pass. Ainsley rich is live at the white house. Hi, rich. Your political president ial match up come the fall, this as immigration is a major issue in this campaign and they have two different perspectives on how to deal with the migrant surge. President biden was in brownsville, former President Trump to the west in eagle pass. Biden Campaign Said trump is weak on the border and crime and stocking chaos and cruelty because it helps him politically. Bidens trump should drop to the bipartisan immigration proposal. I understand my predecessor is in eagle pass today. Mr. Trump, set a plan policy issue, instead of telling members of congress to block this legislation, join me or ill join you in telling the congress to pass this bipartisan Border Security bill, we can do it together. That bill would spend billions on Border Patrol officers, detention facility, Immigration Judges and this is white house fact sheet, the bill includes 1. 4 billion for cities and states providing Critical Services for newcomers and in the country and qualify. Trump and republicans argue biden can rescind orders he signed. Catch and release, we released them in mexico. If you broke the law we caught you, deported you or did something else. We were doing a great job and that is where it stood. Officials say the administration is considering Executive Action on immigration and the president didnt announce any yesterday. Steve Lawrence Jones has been in brownsville for the last 48 hours on the ground. Yesterday had a preview and today postgame show for potus in south texas. Lawrence. Lawrence good morning, family. Good to be back home in texas. Were typically pretty friendly, but president of the United States was not met with friendly welcome from the people that live here. They are wondering why the commanderinchief decided to come here once they solved the problem and why did he pick a spot where there is probably zero crossings because people are not able to get across that high water that separates the Mexican Border from the United States border. Interesting thing, you had a lot of Trump Supporters that met the current president and said why come now and they say it is all about politics, he knows is number one issue for voters and question is, is he going to change his policy. You saw the president invite donald trump to join him. A lot of people say it should be joe Biden Joining donald trump with his policies, guys. Brian laugh, the statement from Bidenharris Campaign manager. Donald trump is weak on the border and weak on crime, that is why directed maga republicans to kill the toughest reform to secure the border in decades. If you want people to believe second half of your sentence, dont make them laugh in the first half. Criticism of trump, he is tough on the border, he is antihispanic and now they are saying hes weak on the border. His crackdown on crime has racial epitath in it. Now they are saying he is weak on both. I guess he is not racist. Lawrence brian, so glad you read that statement, it shows why so many people in texas were insulted by the visit. You have current commanderinchief taking credit for what texas is doing to stop the crossings right now and then suing, they just sued state of texas and blocked sb 4. He takes credit on one hand and sues us on the other hand, that is type of commanderinchief were dealing with. And also forcing Border Patrol, ainsley, so sorry. Forcing Border Patrol to stand behind him while he insults them. Ainsley and he wants us to call them newcomers. Brian please do not include that in anybodys copy. Sean and donald trump sat down on the curvy couch in texas in eagle pass. Watch this interview. One of the primary reasons in 2016 i ran and i ran on the border and i ran on other things, i ran on the border largely. We fixed the problem and in 2020, it wasnts even a subject. Sir, nobody cares about the border anymore. Since the election, we have a situation where this border makes 2016 look like baby stuff. It is probably the worst, not probably, it is worst border in the history of the world. This is now a war zone and they view it as a war zone. Mexico is doing nothing to help us. They are letting the caravans come unimpeded, caravans with 25,000 people just walk into our country. Something has to be done. Steve hes made it clear day one he will do stuff that he can as president to turn off the flow of migrants. Ainsley brian has been talking about this fox news poll and battleground state, who do you trust more on Border Security . Compare biden to trump, trump is winning by 21 points in state of georgia and in michigan 16 points and North Carolina 19 points and wisconsin by 17 points and this is number one issue. Steve that is why joe showed up yesterday. Ainsley if this is any ka indication, trump will do well. Lawrence republicans should not give them a lifeline, all or nothing. He broke the border, fix it. If he wants to go with the house bill and get that across, that is one thing. This half measure they want to pass in the senate, you have manpower and Border Patrol supported the bill. Make no mistake, they are not happy with the bill in totality. Brian brandon judd said it makes things better and doesnt go enough. Lawrence, need you a while longer. House republicans releasing transcript from Hunter Bidens closeddoor deposition. Steve and apparently the president s son doubled down saying father was not involved in business deals. Ainsley madeleine rivera. Madeleine several testy moments. Hunter stresses his son was not involved in business dealings. He does admit putting his father on Speaker Phone and asking him to drop by personal lunches. Hes he takes his familys calls because of the death of his mother. Im surprised my dad did call me now. If he did, i would take his call. He talked about a trip in 2014, hunter says he introduced his father to a Chinese Business associate jonathan lee. Hunter denies it was a meeting. Huntered i introduced my dad to jonathan lee and his friend and they shook hands and probably took a photograph. My father went up to his room and i went to coffee with jonathan lee. Your father, he never received or interacted with any business associates, is that correct . Yes. Did you receive money from china or not . I received money from a china company. Chair comer says next step is a public attorney. Abbe lowell says the transcript means there is nothing left to ask, say or do. Steve another standoff. Thank you. Brian now republicans want to see him in front of everybody. Steve james comer who ran that committee, he apparently left the hearing early and did not ask a single question. How weird is that . Been calling for him to come in, we want hunter biden. Did not ask a single question. Brian brian will ask questions to mark levin. Brian i will introduce mark levin and say goodbye. I will take credit for it. 19 minutes after the hour, over to carley. Carley fox wildfire alert. Two people dead as firefighters battle fires tearing through texas and oklahoma.
