Investigation underway in florida after a Monster Alligator turns up with human remains. It is all happening in a residential area hello Everyone Welcome to a brandnew hour of Fox News Live i am arthel nebo. Eric hello everyone thank you for joining us im eric shawn this is a gruesome story. This horrible discovery it made it yesterday in a neighborhood in a small town of Largo Florida just south of clearwater and tampa. The alligator you can see resting along the side of the road found in a pool of blood but Senior Correspondent Steve Harrigan as a following this disturbing story for us, steve . Lexus all went down friday and largo. Neighbors were alarmed and passed the alarm from the neighborhood into the Fire Departments. They are used to living among gators a in largo. They say nearby at lake contains low four 5foot gators but theyve never seen anything like this. A massive 14foot Alligator Carrying what neighbors said was part of a corpse clenched between its jaws. They called the Fire Department and some of them began taking videos of the scene. But i was on my way to a Job Interview and i was looking into the lake for fish and stuff and i spotted a gator for a nose had a body in its mouth the lower torso once i saw that he ran straight to the Fire Department and got them for they converted to body all cap think about all these kids close to school right behind me and they come this way every single day. Florida fish and Wildlife Officers arrived on the scene. They were able to pull the 14foot gator and a half corpse out of the canal. They shot it dead. It is crazy. I mean especially around here. Like ive said i have seen them four or 5 feet gators. But nothing that big. It is crazy. My kids walk by there all of the time. So it is really scary. That victim still has yet to be identified, eric back to you. Eric all right steve thank you. Arthel the crisis at the southern border it just keeps growing for customs and Border Protection releasing the august numbers yesterday and they show migrant encounters at an alltime high with Border Cities already over and overwhelmed. Griffin jenkins is alive in eagle pass, texas the mayor declared a State Of Emergency this week or this is one of the cities that is overrun what more can you tell us . Quickset is right. Good Afternoon Arthel put eagle pass at texas has become ground zero. Read more than seven or 50 migrants pass right by our cameras today. But i want to get our viewers right to the fox of flight team up with the drone in the sky pretty see a unique situation we have not seen it yet in the past several days that is a bit of a standoff, arthel but we are looking at the little boats the rubber boats in the river. This is the rio grande separating eagle pass and on the mexican side on the top of your screen the u. S. Side and the island in the middle between mexico and the u. S. A group of migrants about 60 or 70 of them have been trying to cross for the better part of the last two hours. What you are actually seeing at the National Debt struck the Texas National guard in these small boats telling the migrants to turn back. To go back to mexico. We have not seen that so far in the past few days it. We have seen a constant stream of migrants coming across a brief look at our screen you see the Three Robert Boats of Texas National guard. Thats part of Texas Governor greg abbott operation at lone star that began in the spring of 2021 back when the migrant surgeon started Texas Governor greg abbott putting the matters into his own man wanting out to deter the mark migrants he put miles of dense dangerous rays aware that that would deter the migrants from coming. It has not worked. They keep coming this im getting stuck, some getting injured because many of them most of them action in this area are venezuelan believe if they can just get a cross they have a good shot at being released into the u. S. They have heard south of the board of the administration has now given temporary protective status to venezuelan migrants which would allow them to stay for upwards of 18 months without fear of being deported their Asylum Claims play out spring at their being released with notices to appear they can be years down the road for a backlog that is building every single day. We are just watching to see what will happen and whether or not these migrants will ultimately be allowed to cross. The Border Patrol by the way has not done this sort of deterrent trying to get active in the river and push them back. That is just so far the Texas National guard. It is a situation here that has become very difficult. There is a snapshot we are really getting to see the center of this humanitarian crisis. It is upwards of 100 degrees out here. It is hot. Most migrants fled their countries in search of better lives and jobs. They have been going for many cases and at months. Some come through the jungle between colombia and panama all the way through mexico appear. We do have sources tell us there are more migrants in large numbers on the way for the situation youre seeing play out is going to continue. Meanwhile, arthel in a Secretary Mayorkas is visiting over the border and mccown woman get information will give it to you. Arthel you have been to the border countless times we have been covering for more than two years now. What stands out . Is there something that strikes you as different this time, griff . Once you know im so glad you asked that question, arthel. I think for the first time we are seeing a Border Patrol agents that have been here for more than two years almost at a Breaking Point. Many tell me privately off camera they feel so demoralized their overworked, overwhelmed and they are fearful the government may shut down and will be forced to go at the beginning of october without a paycheck and stuck in the middle of the five alarm fire if you will. It is very much a real concern the Border Patrol agents on the line here on the front lines if you will could be reaching a Breaking Point and that is not good at all, arthel. Arthel Griffith Jenkins alive for them from the border thank you very much. Eric we contingency the astounding scene and washington The White House refusing to accept blame for the Record Number of migrants at the border. Instead the administration has been pointing its finger at House Republicans for the spike in the apprehensions because of the lack of legislation on the hill. His life on the hill with much more on this. Eric, good afternoon f from a wet and Windy Washington were lawmakers who not only trying to dodge the rain but also pressured The White House to do more to address the surge of migrants crossing over the border as griff was just showing up it also the same migrants arriving in major cities are nearly a daily basis by The White House says its doing all it can to help. For the president of the images griff was just showing certainly complicate efforts to save the border is secure. The white house is try to shift the blame to the pastor trump administration. The last administration certainly gutted the Immigration System for four years that is what they did. Good speaker at mccarthy and the republicans in congress who continuously, continues to take steps to undermine what is currently happening. Trying to undermine border security. But some democrats think The White House could do more including Robert F Kennedy jr. Who is seeking the democratic president ial nomination. As an oped he says current policies are failing our country and putting in intolerable strain on American City set of arty faced unprecedented challenges in the last three years. We desperately need a different approach but republicans insist they are ready to address the board with new restrictions and more funding for certain programs. But these are ideas The White House may not go with because of what they say its Inhumane Treatment or they may not and necessary griff this plan there is talk the border crisis may further fuel some lawmakers efforts to force a Government Shutdown within a matter of days. Republicans though say it is The White House it still deserves ts the blame. Not only to have all of those problems at the border, but far far inland how it impacts every state. Including as far as you can get away with the Fentanyl Deaths and human trafficking. It is disappointing. That is the worst example of the problems from washington d. C. Right there. The white house is not doing any major Public Events to talk about this as griff mentioned thave home unsecured secretary Alejandro Mayorkas at the border today we are looking to see what news he may break out of that. Also the president is going to be heading west of two border states california and arizona. But at this point we do not expect him to talk about the border during these visits. Eric right thanks so much. Arthel jersey senator rejecting cultures after federal prosecutors charged him and his wife yesterday it was several counts of bribery and conspiracy. Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer said menendez will temporarily step down as chair of the Foreign Relations committee. Alexandria hoff is life in washington. High arthel is the case moves forward he won will be chair but senator menendez can serve on the panel he is not stepping down from the Senate Despite calls from fellow democrats including new Jersey Governor Phil Murphy who stated the alleged facts are so serious they compromise the ability of senator menendez to effectively represent the people of ouion. Yesterday federal prosecutors charged under menendez and his wife nadine with three conspiracy counts for alleged scheme to enrich and protect three new jersey businessmen while also using senators position as chair of the senate Foreign Relations committee to benefit egypts authoritarian governments. That is in exchange for cash and gifts which federal prosecutors say it were found when the couples property was searched. They discovered a proximally 5000 in cash. Stuffed into envelopes and closets. Some of the cash was stuffed in the centers Jacket Pockets for. Prosecutors h said they found over 1000 worth of gold bars and eight mercedes those also allegedly provided to the couple along with other household gifts. Menendez denies all wrongdoing say he feels theres been a rush to judgment because he is latino. Setting those who believe in justice believe in innocence until proven guilty. I intend to continue to fight for the people of new jersey with the same success i have had for the past five decades the senator is expected to appear in Federal Court on wednesday. He was tried it six years ago on unrelated Bribery Charges and was cleared by a hung jury in that. Arthel Alexandria Hoff thank you for that reports. We are just days away from the second republican president ial primary debates. It will be on wednesday night 9 00 p. M. Eastern right on the foxbusiness network. Dana perino, Stuart Varney and Ilia Calderon will be your moderators for this. Six candidates have qualify for this, though they are. Theyve all signed the mandatory rnc pledge to support the eventual nominee. And again a former President Trump who skip the first debate will also not be at this one. Is he is planning to avoid it. Doctor lauren right political scientists at Princeton University but always good to see you. What should we look for . Who should we keep tabs on what you expect will happen . Is a foxbusiness debate im sure the buy plenty of questions on the economy and governors in the mix do it pretty well on those. And so they might have a slight edge there. The harshest way of looking at this right now is it is eight race for Vice President , if trumps lead that is so sizable continues in the polls. If it really is a race for second place or trumps Running Mates then he is probably not going to pick the people who have already worked for him and qualified. So haley, pence pence, chris che on the transition. He is probably traded too many blows with the santos at this point to mend s amend some kindf relationship with him. And so tim scott and Vivek Ramaswamy in the second place race are looking pretty good. I think its still too early to tell aunt ron desantis definitely has more points to put on the board. What is going on with the santos and what is he have to do theres a lot of talk about if it goes down in iowa that could be it. Hes got a good ground game with staff and iowa the same reporting on that that everyone else is he has a lot of overlap with ted cruz a very successful staff there a few years ago. Until maybe he will have a success in these early states and that will propel him forward. But really, do santos could benefit if the conversation turns to co bed who took risks on covid who turned out to be right. You had the longest economic lockdowns, those types of conversations among republicans even tended to benefit desantis it. If he had a headtohead matchup with trump he could certainly nail trump on a lot of those things. Because desantis has a really great record and did it turn out to be right about a lot of things covid policy related. Its also a big might bring up at the ends up debating gavin newsom and a little bit. But. Eric said to be showing up to represent but not on the stage what about nikki haley question what she impressed a lot of people and is reaching out for it seems broader support. I think she is really, really impressive. People are starting to get to know who she is. If she stays in politics in some way, shape, form even if nikki haley is not successful this cycle she could be somewhat republicans will continue to look to in the future to be the leader of the party. It reminds me a little bit of help mitt romney use the 2008 primary process to really familiarize a lot of people with him who werent familiar with him as a governor. Perhaps nikki haley is Getting National recognition now. Even if its not that she will not say when the gop primary all that face time is really valuable and certainly she is got some zingers and pretty solid plot for items for. s before she really went after Vivek Ramaswamy approved you think will be ganged up again you talk about someone who is not well known. Certain he isnt a politician he is a businessman part lets listen to what he has said in the past about his candidacy. Look at the way ive run this campaign, going to the south side of chicago, To Kensington and biddle of philadelphia were traditional publican candidates dont go. We have an opportunity to build a multiethnic workingclass majority to deliver a landslide. Think im the only candidate in this race young or old black or white to bring all those voters along to deliver a 1980 Revelation Pregnancy talked about Ronald Reagan and did he get attention in that debate because it said its business will be in foxbusiness. Besides the governor do you think he will ring from his experience to this debate, how will it affect him . Will everyone else gang up on him again . It probably. It certainly is getting a lot of attention and a lot of fundraising. That makes you a target on one hand. In addition to that a lot of these politicians even of the gop candidates tend to run on Outsider Status they tend to run on a message that is against the mainstream are saying hey this person is a rookie as mike pence says. You cannot just got federal agencies you cannot Fire Hundreds Of Thousands of people and expect americans not to lose Certain Services and turn on a party. There is a lot of resentment there from the more experienced politicians in the group and experience might not be popular as trump said about hilary there is sometimes bad experience. But truthfully it is quite a Learning Curve and to start as president i dont think is going to happen for Vivek Ramaswamy but i completely understand some of the grievances of the other candidates they are. Eric quickly he has said he would turn down a Vice President ial spot for resident trump. Is there a long range for him or what is it . He could certainly run for another office. But honestly, a lot of these candidates might be pledging to support the nominate now but they might be saying and no im not in it for Vice President or i would turn down trumps Vice President things tend to change and pin politics as we go along. If you are a shrewd hardcore politician you can definitely change your mind about those things down the road. So that might be the case with Vivek Ramaswamy in and a few of these other candidates. Eric we ha weve seen that befn politics. [laughter] dr. Lauren wright Princeton University great to see you thank you for joining us on the saturday. And of course you can be sure to tune in tomorrow we will have Vivek Ramaswamy one of the republican president ial candidates you just heard who will asked some questions about him b for he will be joining arthel and myself tomorrow at Fox News Live at the 12 00 p. M. Eastern noon hour. Arthel . Arthel meanwhile theres a Tropical Storm drenching the east coast and leaving Tens Of Thousands without power this weekend.

Arthel will turn to weather now her name is a ophelia the Tropical Storm is making landfall in corso North Carolina this morning bringing blistering winds and heavy rains. The storm has been heading up north with Virginia Governor glenn declaring a State Of Emergency. Fox weather correspondent Nicole Valdes is live in north folk will join it with the very latest on their hi nicole. Hi, this lowlying coastal city is under a significant flood threat. Its why City Officials long before that Storm Made Landfall took action and got City Officials and shoot where they needed to be resources include the city Pumping Station behind me now already in effect and being put into action. Flood gates across the city being closed. Lets first get to incredible video trust in from that u. S. Coast guard showing an Intense Mission five people including three children rescued off the coast of cape lookout North Carolina. You look at this video and see just how intense and dangerous those waves are it is no secret Tropical Storm ophelia is already packing a punch. Old dominion under a State Of Emergency had yesterday was when that happen. City leaders took action long before the Storm Made Landfall calling people into work to try to help minimize the amount of flood waters that could inundate the city. Closing floodgates that Surround Downtown or folk an area surrounded by several rivers and bays. Opening up Parking Garages and asking people to move their cars to higher ground. Despite all those efforts we are still seeing reports of damage slowly come in. Nearly 14000 people without power across the state of virginia. We know some power lines have fallen and some roads have flooded. That flood threat remains as high tide not expected until after 4 00 p. M. This afternoon when City Officials worry that water level could reach a 6 feet. Arthel lets hope it does not get too bad there, nicole bell does thank you very much. Eric that is for sure. When will ophelia leave the east coast to give it a break . Adam klotz is here with the weekend forecast. We had a little bit of time with the system for it heres where it currently spends the center of circulation is off toward the east of i95. Still in North Carolina. Went to back you out on this youll see a lot of folks are filling the impact is not of the center of circulation is. Raining in new york, raining in boston for it will be lingering here for a wild heard such a large area you are seeing at least some sort of these impacts. Here is the storm as it works its way up the east coast ultimately juts out to seat right on the mid atlantic. As it makes the move the winds slowly do die down a bit. The impact will continue to be felt why do spread across a large region here. The wind currently stretching out over 300 miles from the center. All of these winds are pushing on sure that is a restart to get concerned about potentially yes it may be some storm surge. Anywhere from three 6 feet is a forecast on many of these areas print watches and warnings are currently in place stretching up to the atlantic. Get coastal flooding also a concern across some of these areas it does include stretching north getting up toward portions of long island for it all areas where the water is being pushed up along the shore. That is why you see some of the flooding additionally about the actual rainfall . Fairly widespread here. A couple inches of rain. This is going to be lingering throughout the entire weekend. This is going to be a system if you are in it at least to the north of it you are going to be dealing with it for a while. Eric sauget we can for some, adam thank you.

Arthel israel and saudi arabia making progress on a historic effort to normalize relations. A saudi crowned prince they fox news chief of political anchor bret baier a World Exclusive interview this week and set a deal with israel seems closer every day. Then israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sat down threat too. We just got back and i know you heard those words from the saudi crowned prince what was your response . Well, i was delighted to hear what he had to say and to borrow a phrase i think we are getting closer to peace every day that passes. Arthel the saudi prince told brett any deal depends on the palestinians. Mr. Netanyahu said they should be part of the Peace Process but not have the power to veto it. Eric meanwhile ukraines counteroffensive is targeting a key city russia crimea. This for a second straight day. Pretty dramatic missile hitting the headquarters to russias prestigious Black Sea Fleets. Conflicting reports just how much damage was done by these missiles. Brian with the very latest and london. Yes, very dramatic video indeed. Showing a missile not just hitting and slamming into but going right through the headquarters of russias Black Sea Fleet. The ukrainian say at least nine people were killed and that attack and several people injured. Including several commanders. Russia on the other hand it said just one person is missing. Interesting the though russias also say the attack was carried out by a storm shadow cruise missile. Thats it missile with a range of one or 50 miles and allows ukraine to strike deep beyond the front lines. The uk started providing ukraine with them this summer. And again this morning the city home to the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet was put on Air Raid Alert for about an hour after debris from intercepting missiles fell. Russia does appear to have the ability to shoot these missiles down. They are perhaps not as effective as they would like to be in doing that. All of this is The White House declined to confirm nbc news report President Biden told president zthepresident zelensk. Will provide ukraine with atacms Long Range Missiles will he was in the u. S. Atacms are the u. S. Weapons system with a range of 180 or 190 miles. In other words and even longer range than the storm shadows that hit the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet today. They are weapons zelenskyy has long been asking for and now fox news understands the u. S. Will send a small number of them to ukraine with the bite administration now less concerned ukraine will use them to strike targets inside russia itself. That something the bite administration feared could lead to an escalation of the war. Frontline showed just what ukraine is keen to get their hands on them for the counteroffensive has succeeded in breaking through russia defensive lines i can tell you it is a very slow going for the russian defensive lines are massive and they are very well supplied. The president in Ukraine A Zelenskyy has completed his North American tour he is now on his way home back to you. That missiles are provided could potentially help get the russians out of crimea thank you. Arthel will bring in right now Ambassador Kurt Volker hes a former u. S. Ambassador to nato and former u. S. Representative for ukraine negotiations. Ambassador i want to start the crane strike on russias Black Sea Fleet. Was it indeed an attack in ukraine . And what does this tell you about military capabilities at this point on both sides . No doubt it was an attack by ukraine the russians would not be attacking it themselves. They are showing the ukrainians are showing have increasing range in increasing capacity to cut off Russian Forces that are in crimea in southern ukraine. Its with the whole Counter Offensive is about cutting off the supply lines, the ability of russia to supply its forces that are deployed inside ukrainian territory and crimea and so on. And that is important that is the naval headquarters that can supply their and they can use their navy from there. The other two places they have to get through our where the offensive is on the ground the land line of communication across southern ukraine and also the bridge. It appears ukrainians are showing increasing capability do this. Arthel if the senior members of russias navy were indeed killed how do you expect putin to retaliate . Putin is doing everything he can already. I dont think we have to worry too much about russian escalation in the sense russia started trying to fight and kill as many ukrainians as possible. Is bput is bombing ukrainian cis every nights. It is already doing what it can. And i think they should not be surprised military targets like this are indeed being hit. Arthel as you well know The White House thursday President Biden promise president zelenskyy the u. S. Will provide him with a small number of longrange missiles. Well eat Missile System make a difference . France, uk, germany follow suit . It is important that he does this for a variety of reasons. Getting that longerrange ability to hit with precision is exactly what ukrainians need to cut off the Russian Forces. The distance inside ukraine are large and they need that capacity. In fact i would argue this is a decision that should have been made a long time ago. And yes, the fact the british and u. S. Will be doing it should provide encouragement to any countries have the extra long range to provide as well. Arthel and as they say winter is coming. What does this mean for ukraines military . Unfortunately it may give the military a bit of a break. But it means the russians will go back to targeting the Info Infrastructure and the power grid the hub to shift around air assets to protect the civilian infrastructure. As far as Ukraine Military ability to continue fighting however i dont think we should make too much out of this season and winter and so forth. As we are saying ukraine is able to make effective strikes with drones, sea drones, air drones, also with missiles. While it may make it harder for tracked vehicles on the ground to advance in some areas, that does not mean ukraines counteroffensive is going to stop. Arthel its hard to gauge progress. How do you assess whats happening in terms of ukraines efforts . Its important to t take a sp back and look at the big picture. Beer and a half ago russia invaded ukraine they were bearing down on kyiv they took major cities and the ukrainians have taken back more than half of the territory that the russians seized in the early phases of the war. For the last several months the only pattern has been ukraine gaining territory and rushed up losing it. We also see ukrainians are increasingly effective at hitting the russian supply lines. I think over all you have to say it is going and ukraines favor. Its very slow and very hard. Stupid stuff like very hard Ambassador Kurt Volker as always thank you very much take care.

Arthel writers in Hollywood Studios making headway on a deal i could finally end the nearly four months strike no deal on the table just yet after three days of Marathon Negotiations Talks are expected to resume today. Nate foy is alive so what is the latest . The fourth straight day of negotiations you meant optimism the deal is close so far the two sides cannot get over the finish line. Right now the Negotiation Center around minimum staffing and writers from a Disclosure System were streaming numbers would influence how much writers get paid. Wga members protested outside several Studio Headquarters in los angeles. They argue shorter seasons for streaming shows smaller Writing Rooms have cut their pay and made it harder to live comfortably in expensive cities like los angeles and new york. Im not in the room so i cannot speak whether we are close or not. What i do know is the ceos of finally seem to be engaged have been out here for five months because of their corporate greed. Hopefully we are close to a deal i would love to get back to work its about time to do a counter proposal perks. A big reason why theres optimism as ceo engagement for the first time this week disney ceo jointly talks directly part along the ceos of warner bros. , discovery, netflix as well as nbc universal. A Los Angeles Mayor karen bass is urging both sides to come to an agreement citing economic implications. She writes in part because the energy is a filament is a pillar of our economy directly impacting not just those who work in the industry but the thousands of Small Businesses that support the industry every day. The strike is only 10 days away from tying the longest writers a strike of all time. That was one or padilla for days have back in 1988s. We will seem anything comes on this fourth straight day of talk so back to you. Arthel lets hope they settle it, nate foy thank you. Eric people want their shows back we may soon have a Childcare Crisis on our hands but turns out the pandemic arra funding for about 70000 childcare Centers Across the country set to expire in one week. Some warnings say without more federal funds many of them could shut the tops and the parents, what did they do . Lets bring in Freedom Works the chief economist steven moore. He got 3 million kids are so in daycare across the country. What do you see happening if this a chi is childcare fundings dry . First of all this is only context as you know the Big Budget Fight Happening In Washington right now. We may see a temporary shutdown of the government starting on september 1 britt hope it does not happen but it may well because biden the republicans are so far apart. But i do have to tell you we are running right now a 2 trillion national deficit. 2 trillion a year. My first came To Washington in 1985 the entire debt from 1776 until 1985 was 2 trillion. Thats what we are borrowing every year. That is the real focus. Have the president saying oh my gosh if we have temporary shutdown of the government were not quite have enough air Traffic Controllers and people are going to lose their childcare was the seniors are not going to get meals on wheels. This is a Propaganda Campaign they are using to try to get leverage. Most americans realize that when we are borrowing this amount of money under joe biden a record amount this cannot continue we have to find a solution. Eric what kind of steps should the administration and Congress Take . Congress is the power of the purse what can they do on the hill to try to get this under control . They have to take a chainsaw to this budget. Eric, we have added 6 trillion of Debt Spending over the normal amount of money that we spent since biden came into office. On all these Green Energy Programs old the welfare programs. A great nation like the United States that wants to continue to be the World Economic Superpower Cannot continue to spend and borrow at this pace. We have to make Real Progress in terms of i like what ron johnson the center from wisconsin is saying lustrous to every Single Agency across the board a 1 cut. Now come on eric given how much money were spending right now in washington a 1 cut is easy to do this should be cutting 10 . So that would be a good start. Before we think is up for trimming theyve got the entitlements that are sacrosanct so what can they do . What so give a couple of examples do we really need to spend 100 billion on the federal Department Of Education when it doesnt do anything to help kids .
