cities where 386,000 were flown in. 3 26,000 went through miami and texas. florida congressman cory mills joins me now. con congressman 90% of illegal migrants flown in the secret flight issue were to governor desantis and governor abbott's states, is that coincidence? >> not at all, this is attempt to retaliate against red states. they continue to bus to sanctuary cities who claim they want the immigrants, but complain like mayor adams has done. what we know from the center of immigration study 326,000 have come on humanitarian parole program from october of 2022 to february of 2023, 326, 000 that we know of. he stated he had no cooperation with cbp or others to give him numbers. when we are talking every month and saying 200,000 have crossed, that is not include thanksgiving parole program biden set up to go ahead and bring criminal migrants from honduras, venezuela, guatemala and these countries are dumping their prisons. how is it we have thousands of these angel families like laken riley or like our own florida state representative keyon michaels who lost her son by a man who was deported three times? this is humanitarian, national health crisis plaguing america and biden is doing this unconstitutional leel into the state of florida. >> todd: i have trouble saying humanitarian parole. >> laughable. >> todd: like to laken riley and her family. is this payback or something more going on here? if i'm joe biden and i want to change the makeup of an electorate, i funnel in new voters indebted to the demo democratic party to a state like florida, where desantis is crushing it state level. >> individuals are being counted into consensus surveys. it is modifying our maps when we look at election. if you say they don't count to elections, they do count in in redistricting making sure densities are -- absolutely intentional, you have 70 to 100,000 who die of fentanyl poisoning every single year. this is an absolute violation of sovereignty and it is unconstitutional and should be impeached. i hope the senate will take up impeachment articles presented from the house speaker johnson has passed over and we can go up the chain for those responsible, which is joe biden. i can tell you, todd, this did not occur under president trump. >> todd: thank you for keeping pressure on the biden administration and when they want to know what a humanitarian looks like, look at congressman cory mills and what he does to bring people home. >> carley: so cool. thanks, congressman. switching gears to massachusetts, officials have decided to move migrants

is the one they are choosing to use? could veterans have used this housing facility? tell us about them and what they are going through? >> yes, i can and good morning. john doin min dlt /* comes to mind. he is dealing with health issues related to dementia and his family has been trying to get him into a home for 15 mongths now. it is a huge burden and strain on their family. sad part is this building was be ing utilized for veteran says. they are building a new building, this is a serviceable building that could house a lot of veterans. i talk to state legislators who have told me they have had two world war ii veterans die while waiting on the list to get in. >> carley: veteran services says the executive office formerly operated the building this project operates independently and will not affect the services at chelsea. i love statements government officials write, barely english. they said the chelsea soldier's home was slated for demolition, their position is, it is not really going to impact veterans, they were going to destroy the building anyway and are moving migrants in. what is your response to that? >> it does. we have a waiting list and a gentleman like john dominico. that building was used last month for veterans could be functional, people on the waiting list and you can then move them to the new building. >> carley: great point. if it is still able to house people, why not house our nation's heroes, tax-paying americans who served our country. as of 2023, boston has 5200 homeless people, many are veterans. and that number is going up and veterans have spoken out about this, they are angry and out raged, this is personal to them. they are furious about it. can you take us to reaction of the people you are speaking to? >> it is very personal. we have already sacrificed and we're being asked to sacrifice again and feels this devalues our service to our nation, we are being passed over here. this is not just devaluing veteraning, it devalues citizenship, as well. there is outrage over this. they want to protest and theying are not guys to stand in the p picket line. >> carley: feels like veterans are getting jumped. keep speaking out and maybe the state will close their mind, veterans deserve to be in the front of the line. >> thank you for having me and brin bringing light to the issue. >> carley: hunter biden front and center at the

it is more of a business decision, i am a supporter also. i just posted $175 million bond with failing new york based on a corrupt judge and attorney general. it was a con-job, so bad for new york where businesses is flee and crime is flourishing. the bond was set for $450 million. his lawyer alina habba says he looks forward to overturning this judgement. this blocks attorney general from seizing his assets for now. they are safe for now. larger bond judgement is on the table, delayed on appeal. >> carley: in another court case hunter biden got bad news. >> cheryl: he did, a judge rejecting to dismiss tax charges saying this is remarkable, defendant cites news sources, social media and legal blogs, these citations are not evidence. hunter biden's lawyer says we strongly disagree with the court's decision and we know continue to pursue mr. biden's challenges, including two counts of filing false return, one count tax evasion and six misdemeanor counts. one of biden's claim selective and vindictive prosecution. lol. >> todd: whatever opposite of that is what he got, he got sweetheart deals. if one judge did not step in, we would not be here. >> carley: talk about

hvac and car repair up 7%. median pay for new construction hire $48,000, that is up 5% from the year before. a part of this gen-z trend and she joins me now. thank you for being here. you chose welding over college. why? >> well, there are plenty of reasons, biggest reason for me, better opportunity for what i was looking for in of well, more immediate, shorter time to be studying, the pay for me is worth it. it is a very good skill to have a lot of dooif things to branch off into. it was just a better option for me and i did think about going to college, but i think the trade pays off, i'm very hands-on, do not want to work in an office. >> todd: how much the cost of college factor into your decision? >> it did factor in greatly because welding is a very -- becoming a more affordable trade as time goes on. college can be pricey after some time. i paid off my trade and i finished back in october so it was very more affordable option for me. it plays a part. >> todd: you paid off your cost to go to school to be a welder and your fellow 17 and 18 year olds will be paying for years. what does it say so many are making the decision to skip college and go into trades? >> i think it is really great, i am seeing more younger people coming into the trade. it happens to be rare, but it is really great to have younger generation, especially girls, i've seen girls starting their own businesses and stuff, and it is fantastic to explore options out there. >> todd: there are options and she is exploring them. awesome, have a great day. >> carley: that is very cool. i was

bigger threat to democracy, president biden or former president trump. listen. >> when people talk about the threat to democracy that trump poses, do you really think that it is as equal to biden? >> listen, i make the argument president biden is a much worse threat to democracy and the reason for that is president biden is the first candidate in history, the first president in history that has used the federal agencies to censor political speech, to censor his opponent. >> david webb is a fox news contributor and the host of the david webb show and he joins us now. david, good morning to you. democrats are not going to like hearing that he said that joe biden is a bigger threat to democracy arguably. >> so he has done something smart for his political campaign which is take a phrase threat to democracy which democrats seem to, you know, fall into more and using it. that's using biden against biden. lock, it's just smart politics. he is right about using the weapons of federals off the government and social media and more because he has a court decision on that. so for r.f.k. purposes this is just smart politics for him. >> todd: he the eliminate more invitation to democrat party events going forward because i think he has been eliminated from most of them that kind of comment is going to get him kicked off entirely. latest fox news poll church 48%, biden 28. >> i like the head-to-head matchups. i don't care who it is. issue based polling is what matters. if he keeps going on issues, i think he is more of a danger because he is aligned more with democrat principles and democrat voters. he is a democrat running as an independent. so i think it's smart for him. but 12% is, look, i watched ross perot. i knew ross perot. even ross perot didn't buy some of the narrative about his overall effect on the election. he knew he had on effect. r.f.k. is a bit overblown. is he on another state. that's good. let's see how far he goes. >> carley: hillary clinton was on with fallon last night. and she gave some friendly advice to people who are unhappy with the trump-biden rematch. watch this. >> yeah. can we talk about the upcoming presidential election? >> oh, no. >> yes, we have to. >> get over yourself. those are the two choices. one is old and effective and compassionate. has a heart and really cares about people. and one is old and has been charged with 91 felonies. [laughter] >> i don't understand why this is even a hard choice. >> and, you know, david, one of the things that is surprising to me about the biden presidency is really that his compassion something that hillary clinton was just talking about there, it's really been called into in numerous occasions. >> hold it i'm a neanderthal who is not back enough because i didn't vote for joe biden the great uniter, i need to get over it. this is hillary's latest version of her benghazi moment what difference does it make? she is kind of telling this. okay. so hang on. how bad is jimmy fallon's audience doing in his audience chair that he thinks bringing hillary clinton is going to bring new people in to watch his show. sorry, jimmy, it just doesn't add up. hillary clinton needs to be relevant. her irrelevant is probably her biggest fear. it's been history her entire life. we move on to tomorrow night's show if anybody is watching. >> todd: i don't know if bringing in old hillary clinton gets that 18 to 25 demo. >> look at never mind let's not go there. >> the bigger issue is who is really taking voting advice from multiple time presidential loser hillary clinton? i think that's an issue. >> look, she couldn't each win because americans really don't trust her. she is not genuine. she is not authentic. >> carley: if your selling point is compassion and look at what happened just last week where the former president was at the memorial forren. >> todd: detective diller. >> carley: and look at how they handled average talk to the mother-in-law of mcgee one of the service members who died she is still trying to get an appointment with the president and apparently has not heard back. thanks for joining. got to leave it there.
