griff jenkins. jacqui: i m jacqui hinrich. they re battling brutal summer heat and steve has the latest for us, hey, steve. 104 degrees yesterday, it s supposed to be 100 all week and that hasn t slowed down the stream of mar grants crossing illegally. we ve seen small groups here in the morning and several pregnant women making that crossing. in recent days, large groups as well, sometimes 300 strong crossing the river together. many of the towns along the border region, overwhelmed by the numbers and it s been the recent policy of text s governor abbott to bus some migrants to northern cities. that s drawn the outrage of a number of mayors, including the mayor of washington d.c. and new york city. not only the federal government, but we need some of those states that have been giving people one-way tickets, we need them to understand that, this must be a partnership in this country, new york is going to do its share, but we have been overburdened shelter system now.
Bill nothing more than a fill in the blank for the executive branch. that s unhealthy. i hope when we take the house we llen committed to the revitalization project and come 2025 we ll have a president that s more respectful of the constitution and willing to give back the dominant branch. griff: we will see see. congressman mike gallagher. thank you for taking the time. jacqui: thank you. jacqui: criticism of new york s no bail law, the attacker who went after candidates lee zeldin. that story is next. age is just a number. and mine s unlisted.
And the man on the ground from fairport, new york. 43 years old and is facing attempted assault charges. we have somebody within hours was put right back out on the streets after he comes on stage and tries to stab me at a campaign event. zeldin s campaign sharing the weapon on the bottom, it has two very sharp edges and that s under investigation. they re taking a close look at that weapon. the new york governor hochul and zeldin is back on the campaign trail with security. and he s been looking and thinking about, and they re in contact with capital police, they re not sure if active charges could be filed. griff: a frightening incident.
But he s coming forward now pointing the fingers at elected democrat officials because as he says the top concern was their personal safety of what is happening in these stores. maybe that s a message democrats should heed. jacqui: they should start listening now, we had rising crime in several cities, new york, just seems to be something no one has gotten their arms around and these bail laws are a problem. griff: you mentioned new york, we can show you the stats, robberies up, burglaries up 32%. violent crime as well. there are the viral videos we are seeing at the beginning of july on tick-tock, this fast food restaurant, women were upset having to pay extra for more hot dogs.
Seem to free themselves of the climate change wing of the party. griff: i want to ask you about that, you voted against former president trump in that emergency declaration to get funding for the border wall and now you are also opposing any presidential emergency declaration on climate change which appears to be forth coming, but you also see hypocrisy here. at the time i certainly heard about it from my republican friends, and everyone on my side of the aisle. what i said to them under the constitution only congress has the power to appropriate money. if a president comes in and takes appropriated money and redirects it for another purpose, it s unconstitutional, but also at the time i said i guarantee you once you open this pandora as box the democrats are going to declare a national climate emergency or gun emergency and wield the powers of the executive branch to do unconstitutional things and that s exactly what president biden is about to do and the same democrats
