11:00 am
police investigation and even jail time if you simply say something or post something considered "troublesome" regarding characteristics like age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, trans identity, the intersex and white can imagine is the last two are having a real stir, she posted on x in passing the scottish hate crime act the scottish can have a higher value on the idea of men and female-in ess than on the freedom of actual women and girls, i look forward to being arrested when i go back to the birthplace of scottish enlightenment. they say her arrest is not an imminent. they are aware of complaints but no further action will be taken. she's not the only one upset. see what they had to say.
11:01 am
>> we are not going to do anything like that here in england. we should not be criminalizing people saying common sense things about biological sex that that clearly isn't right. >> she says i hope every woman in scotland who wishes to speak up will be treated equally by the laws of very bumpy early days for this, john, back to you. >> john: and you on the job taking a look at it keeping us informed of what lies ahead. thank you, greg. >> thanks. >> sandra: all right, john, as we top the new hour this is a live look at the southern border screen as we wait for warmer president donald trump to take the stage and deliver a major border policy speech. we expect that he will be railing against what his campaign is calling "biden's border bloodbath" as immigration is a top issue for voters.
11:02 am
>> john: i'm john roberts in washington, with what promises to be a news filled hour for everyone, this is america reports we expect trouble talk about the killing of 25-year-old ruby garcia the woman from michigan pictured here, her boyfriend a mexican national in the country illegally is accused of shooting her. "the new york post" reports that the boyfriend was deported under the trump administration but at some point snuck back in. biden's border patrol chief sounded the alarm about what he says is a national security threat. >> sandra: and we will have more on that with fox team coverage we will hear from the texas sheriff that he is cleveland in a moment about efforts on the front lines to slow this migrant surge. >> john: but we begin with mark meredith joining us, why would trump pete picked michigan? >> he will have to count on this date in november so we see how much that comes up in his remarks, and two states today democrats are hoping to hang on
11:03 am
to these in november wisconsin and michigan he won them both by a slim margin and lost them two years later and now they are a toss-up. this is not a rally today were we expect to see thousands of people. instead a smaller venue and we are told trump a focus on two major issues. immigration as well as crime after the murder of 25-year-old ruby garcia her body found at the side of a highway at the men she was linked to charged with her murder and the suspect in the u.s. illegally from mexico. eager to make immigration a top issue they are launching a website to showcase how illegal immigration is impacting states coast to coast. we heard from the trump campaign today head of the event who say biden is allowing vicious criminals, illegal drugs, gangs, and terrorists into the u.s., he alone has the power to reverse course the border yet he refuses to take action, bryden is prioritizing illegal immigrants over americans.
11:04 am
polling showing americans increasingly worried about immigration but democrats say they are ready to respond with the dnc with new billboards out claiming trump for the border crisis, again a few of these plastered around grand rapids and this afternoon we are hearing from wisconsin democrats as i mentioned trump goes there tonight. they are saying trump is the reason the board remains unsecure. >> i have no respect for an individual who says the border is the most important issue but then walks away from one of the most influential bills that could actually address the issues at the border. you can't take them seriously because again it is about him. >> we will hear this back-and-forth go on and on president biden we going to wisconsin next week we talk about the economy instead of immigration. this is not i mean like we have been there over the years from fox it's a smaller event but the message here. >> john: big rally tonight. mark, good to see you, thank you, sandor? >> sandra: let's bring chad
11:05 am
wolf acting in the first policy institute executive director, thank you very much for joining us. these illegal crossings reaching a record under this presidency, there is no sign of this slowing. we are about to hear from former president donald trump who has been sounding the alarm on this for some time. do you see in the future any change on the part of this administration to stem this f flow? >> no i don't. i don't see any change you have to look at the last three years. what they have tried to address has made the situation worse, sandra, the numbers get worse and we continue to see the number of god always increased so everything they try has the opposite effect of intended but the problem here is instead of going back to things that work whether it was in the trump administration or the obama administration instead of doing things that work, they have these new policies such as mass parole that they are doing that
11:06 am
have no basis of law. and don't seem to be working. situation continues to get better and i think fundamentally it's the catch and release policy they have a reinstituted. if a migrant can get across and facetime friends and family back home and say i am in the united states guess what? more and more will come. that's what we will see today. >> john: chad as we saw just a moment ago democrats are blaming the former president and democrats for the situation the border saying if only you hadn't passed the border bill taking its way through the senate all of this would've gone away. in your learned opinion because he dealt with those, with passing that border bill would it have made it all go away or would it have just given them more tools to deal with this massive influx of people? because critics are saying the only way to deal with this, to really deal with it, is to stop people from coming here first otherwise you are going with the flow.
11:07 am
>> absolutely. no, the bill folks are talking about in the senate had little effect on the crisis we see today. when i hear individuals say well, it's president trump's fault because either he was against it or we had senate republicans walk away, that's an uninformed opinion. they don't actually know what was in the bill. all they are regurgitating his things they are hearing out there. once you start peeling back the layers of that bill you start to understand it was not going to address the fundamental problems of the crisis today. again, i think is important to remember and remind folks that in 2021 when this crisis started, it was not because congress passed a bill they need to fix, it's because the biden administration took 94 executive actions on immigration that caused the crisis. they have the ability to reverse course and put new changes and new policies in place and they simply refused to do it. i think most americans shake their said and say why not? why not do something that actually ends the crisis?
11:08 am
and yet we are over three years into it. >> sandra: ted we have heard from many officials warning about the number of terrorists who are known to have been trying to or have crossed over into the border. and we just don't even know it. what is your warning about what could be happening as more and more cross over the border and we don't even hold them accountable? >> yeah, this is probably the scariest aspect of the crisis that has been going on now. that is the national security crisis. i think you mentioned earlier that the chief of the border patrol chief owens actually is sounding the alarm on this as well. saying looks, what keeps him up at night are they got aways and the national security threats coming across that border. at the same time we hear about isis's quay and afghanistan being able to reconstitute itself and not being able to look in to see what external operations they are planning. all of this is starting to come
11:09 am
together and starting you can really see it could affect the homeland and some serious ways particularly as the southern border remains open. the your legality of what we see around the border is an off but when you put it in the national security threats that we see along the border each and every day, i think that is what concerns a lot of american people. >> in terms of this who is to blame for this crisis is it president biden or formal president trump, let me just put up some statistics on the screen here. under president biden, or than 7.4 million people have come into the country illegally. in the entire trump administration it was 2.4 million. clearly trump was doing something to give the numbers down. and look at this and the new fox news poll who do you trust to do a better job at immigration? trump gets the nod, 57% of people say he would do a better job, biden just 39% of people say he would do a better job. the one thing i think is lost in
11:10 am
all of this, chad, the biden administration not just dealing with a bunch of people who want to commended united states for a better life. they are dealing with a multibillion-dollar business run by these cartels who are gathering up people and shipping them through mexico and across the border. but they are not dealing with it like they are dealing with this multibillion-dollar business. >> i think that is right. they have incentivize these cartels to traffic and smuggle more individuals and more illegal narcotics across the border because they don't have the right policies in place. the cartels know this and they are taking advantage. they have been the last three years. again, it's beyond me by the biden administration does not change strategy. what it tells me is they like the strategy, they like the outcome of the strategy. it is not benefiting americans at large. this idea that somehow president trump is to blame for what is going on is laughable. it's laughable because not only the numbers you cited, john, just look at the policies and
11:11 am
the impact we had along that border, we didn't get it right every time, but we did towards the end of the administration and we have a network of policies in place for the biden administration, of course they took all that down. and we've gone back not only to president obama's approach, it's gotten worse than that. we have seen a multitude of millions and millions of folks coming across the border and it continues with lax betty not understanding who they are and using taxpayer dollars, billions of dollars of taxpayer money are going to these failed ways of transporting migrants across united states. >> sandra: chad, really appreciate you joining us. thank you so much. obviously we are waiting for former president donald trump's speech about this that should be happening our short time from now we appreciate you joining us, thank you. and john is there a possibility of peter doocy questioning at
11:12 am
the white house and if so can we listen then? >> president absolutely believes that along that a border we do have significant national security concerns that have to be met but you said something really good in your question that i loved. that while these concerns are going on the bill languishes so what is needed? it's not anything more from the president, what is needed is for speaker johnson to do his job and get that thing on the floor and let's get it voted on. but we had a chance and decided for it not to act because surely people in people in the house or republican world wanted a problem rather than a solution. >> is the person in charge of preventing a terrorist attack is president biden thinking some of these border crossers could be in the united states right now plotting a terrorist attack? >> the president is confident throughout the agency dhs intelligence community that we are doing everything we can to be as vigilant as we can. to ensure the safety and security of the american people here at home.
11:13 am
>> john, do they think about section 301 terrorists? >> sandra: interesting moment considering the conversation we were just having with chad wolf about that very threat and that warning and the white house responding to it, john. >> john: and the key phrase there i picked up on from kirby was nothing more is needed from the president. it's up to congress to fix this but as jet wolf was just saying the proposal in congress would not address the root cause here if you want to go back to that of the situation, it's all of the cartels moving all of these people through mexico and to the border. if this president wanted to, but it's a very unpopular idea with the left wing of his party, if he wanted to, he could just resurrect all of those trump era executive orders and shut this thing down this afternoon. but he is not going to do that. >> sandra: and likely will hear more from the former president when he begins speaking shortly, john. >> john: busy afternoon as we await former president trump's remarks and what he is calling
11:14 am
"biden's border bloodbath" and we are keeping a close eye on the pentagon which is also set to brief this hour, it's busy. >> sandra: it is busy. plus president biden's ev push facing backlash from drivers as his transportation department faces crises in the air and water. we will talk to transportation secretary pete buttigieg, glad to have them today about all of that next. how do i clean an aioli stain? thankfully, tide's the answer to almost all of them. why do we even buy napkins? use tide. can cold water clean white socks? it can with tide. do i need to pretreat guacamole? not with tide. this is chocolate, right? -just use... -tide...yeah. no matter who's doing it, on what cycle, or in what temperature, tide works. so i can focus on all the other questions. do crabs have eyebrows? ahh... for all of life's laundry questions, it's got to be tide.
11:15 am
11:16 am
11:17 am
11:18 am
so you're telling me that the new iphone 15 pro is made with titanium? -yes. and it has the most advanced iphone camera ever? yes. and you got this on xfinity mobile? yes. -this thing isn't working. now hold on. do you like my partner's hair? -yes. it's working... it's working real good. get up to $830 off the new iphone 15 pro, and save big with xfinity mobile. speed to live to grand rapids, michigan, former president donald trump we will dip in and listen ahead of his speech is short time from now. >> it's insane. in iowa people know some of the media know they couldn't handle. i heard that.
11:19 am
we have our chairman year we have everyone here. >> sandra: looks like our camera has been ushered out of the room there. this roundtable discussion was expected ahead of the speech from the former president on "biden's border bloodbath" expected a short time from now and we will go to the speech a short time from now. >> john: mike rogers who is the chair of the house intelligence committee in 2024 was talking about the crime problem there. we will look forward to what he has to say about 12 minutes from now. in the meantime tesla sells more electric vehicles than any other in the world but for the first time since 2020 sales are down which is a not so good sign where demand is lagging as the biden administration pushes more of them to american consumers. let's bring in transportation secretary pete buttigieg. good to have you with us. on this tuesday afternoon.
11:20 am
let me pursue that, tesla sales fell 8.5% the first quarter of this year for this week laying off two-thirds of its workforce at florida, scaling back a better reproduction facility because of low sales. the ev sales are nowhere near the president wanted or expected yet they continue to shove them down consumer's throats why? >> let's be clear. consumers have wanted and purchased more evs every single year than the year be before. and tesla is facing more competition as gm and ford and a stellantis other competitive players make sure they get a piece of the ev market. the automotive sector is moving towards evs and we can't pretend otherwise. sometimes on these debates happen if you like us than early 2,000 and we are talking to people who think we just have a landline phones forever. the reality is the automotive
11:21 am
sector is moving towards evs and the u.s. can fall behind to china or we can claim the lead. president biden wants to make sure those to be are made in america especially again as more americans choose evs every single year then the year before. we have to make sure those are made on american soil in places like northern indiana where i grew up, places like michigan where i live right now. during the trump administration china was really able to build an advantage in the ev market and not because they are big environmentalists in china, it's because it's the economically smart to play. we want to make sure that advantage comes back on american soil. >> sandra: mr. secretary it's a sander we appreciate you coming on the show. when you look at the market here in those who have watched markets most of their lives like many of us we think why are we pushing something that is not ready? as you read his pieces in "the wall street journal" often,
11:22 am
he is not a climate change denier but he points out this is just a market that is not ready. he says we should allow innovation to push this, right? that we should bring these cars along to the point where there is something people want that american consumers want to go buy. but right now but they are not affordable. they are extremely expensive. the electricity, obviously uses fossil fuels anyway, to power these vehicles. i mean, is this just premature this push right now? >> yes, these are all interesting and important questions but we know it is not premature because more americans every single year choose electric than the year before. if you look at is extremely rare for everyone who has gone electric to go back to the old gas car technology. it is not happening overnight and it's not for everyone, our goal is by the end of this decade to be half and half with new car sales but the reason we
11:23 am
cannot just sit back and let it happen on its own pace is there is a race going on. either china or the united states will dominate the ev future, we want to make sure as the united states. the power question is interesting, a lot of electricity is still generated by fossil fuels, but if you look at the science of it, what you will see is it is still more efficient to just as a matter of physics to convert the fossil fuels into energy and utility plant and run it through transmission lines into a car than it is to burn it in 100-mile individual car and engines even the efficient combustion engines rarely get beyond 30 or 40% efficiency. it's more than double that in terms of electric vehicles. look, it's early. think about where gas cars were in the 19 tens or 1920s, that's where we are right now with evs but we cannot afford to fall behind trying to. any mention affordability the number one way we have supported
11:24 am
evs is making them more affordable which is what these tax credits are about nbc price is getting closer and closer to parity so more americans can save buying and ev. >> john: they are still in the stratosphere with price. you talk about a race in order for someone to win you have to have the capacity to be able to do that. we do not have the capacity in the u.s. electrical grid to win that race anytime soon. here is what "the wall street journal" editorial board set about the new demands for new technology and green energy on the electrical grid. projections for the u.s. electricity demand growth over the next five years have doubled from a year ago and major culprits new artificial intelligence data centers, federally subsidized manufacturing plants and the government drilling electric vehicle transition. if you do not have the power to power all of those things houck do you win the race? we are not upgrading the
11:25 am
electrical infrastructure grid at the rate we need to to keep. a-determiner. >> we are updating >> john: not at the rate -- >> we are coming full circle from a few years ago when the president was pushing the infrastructure package and some sudden look of it's not roads and bridges is not infrastructure obviously as transportation secretary i love the fact there are so many roads and bridges being improved with this but it also included funding for the electrical grid. today about surveys electric grid can handle today's electric vehicles but you are right we cannot run tomorrow's vehicles are friendly to morrow's economy on today or yesterday's grade which is why needs to be upgraded. at the end of the day if we can get that right is a country that will leave us better off. there are more ways to move electricity than there are to move electric -- than there are to move liquid fuel. that's why my house a mission i
11:26 am
can fill our hybrid plug-in electric with a little electricity. obviously i cannot do that with gas at my house. in the long run we are better off but absolutely agree. we will have to put a lot of work in putting that grid and i am excited about good paying job for electrical workers. >> sandra: coming with another few big topics with the president going to baltimore in a moment but almost every day we hear about a plane being diverted, something happens, we have images of something dropping from planes out of the got no mike scott i adore coming off, a scroll of incidents coming and boeing's mess that will interfere with summer travs pause travel in the coming months as airlines to scramble to distance themselves from the airplane maker. people want to know right now is they are family safe traveling on an airplane mr. secretary? >> last night i slept on an airliner with my husband and our
11:27 am
twin 2-year-old sons and daughters. son and a daughter i care about this not just as a policymaker but as a passenger in a parent. flying on an airliner in america is the safest way to travel by far. but we never take that for granted as part of the faa and our administration has been very aggressive with regard to boeing. it is critically important that boeing meet the absolute highest safety standards. frankly the faa was not satisfied with what they saw when they went to the facility or engaged boeing senior leadership. our faa administrator put boeing on a 90 day clock we are about one month into that to put together a plan demonstrating that they can hit a different level of quality control and we won't let them increase production until they do. >> john: secretary i want to finish with a question about the bridge in baltimore because the president will be going there on friday to take a look at the efforts to try to clear it up and get it rebuilt.
11:28 am
how quickly can you get the bridge rebuilt? and an auxiliary question and tampa bay won the skyway was knocked down in similar circumstances in 1980, islands were built around the towers so that no ship could run directly into the bridge. why was the francis scott key bridge never retrofitted with islands of the could not be hit with containers? >> there is a debate going on right now about whether any design feature currently known could have stopped a ship of that size. it was 248 million pounds impacting that peer. as you mentioned after the sunshine skyway incident in 1980 the bridge design advanced quite a bit. the francis scott key bridge was built before that, but some of the lessons are definitely being applied both for new bridge design and how to reinforce some older bridges. one of the many, many reasons why we put such a priority on
11:29 am
infrastructure with when they first got here in efforts to make many of america's bridges more but i mean i don't want to get ahead of them they will have more to say on the shipping side and the bridge side of this but any insights that come to light through that investigation definitely something we have to apply as a country to future generations of bridge design and policy. >> sandra: mr. secretary could you briefly give us a heads up of what we might see from the president during his trip there on friday what his plans are? >> knowing president biden, he is largely going to want to get to know the leaders and just ordinary people who were impacted by this. the rescuers who played such a critical role in dealing with any immediate aftermath. he is focused in making sure that the government gets the support he needs. i'm also guessing that there'll be a lot of detailed questions and i say that because just a couple days after the incident i was in the oval office with the
11:30 am
commandant of the coast guard and a lot of detail-oriented questions of what will it take to get the channel back open? what will it take to get the bridge back up? and i think he wants to know every possible tool in the federal toolkit is helping the city of baltimore and helping the state of maryland as governor moore works to get that bridge back up and the ports back open. >> john: we appreciate your time mr. secretary and one more question in the new rule about long trains requiring two crew members to be on a long train. the rule i imagine falls out of the disaster in east palestine, ohio, but there were three crewmembers on that train so how this new rule avoid something like that happening in the future? >> this isn't just one incident this is common sense. we were working on this before east palestine, and after what happened there. as with a number of issues
11:31 am
around rail safety. a lot of americans would be surprised to find out until this morning there was no rule saying you had to have more than one person on a train even as these trains sometimes with hazardous material on them sometimes 2 miles long or longer go through communities like east palestine, ohio, like south bend, indiana, where i grew up, and look, this is just common sense to me. i'm a little shocked the railroad industry lobby wants to be able to strip away the second worker on some of these trains. although they managed to strip away a lot of workers which is part of how they have become so incredibly profitable potentially at the expense of other priorities like safety. so just so you know this is not the only thing we are doing on rail safety with the gets an important sense step. i was disappointed the railroad lobby today said this was an overreach because to me this is pretty basic. but definitely not the only thing that matters, definitely
11:32 am
not enough. i am continuing to renew our call for congress to act on the bipartisan railway safety act. it is still waiting its turn in congress and it has been more than a year since east p east palestine. a lot of people including republican members of congress who had a lot to say, they are nowhere to be found in this railway safety act. i think it's time to get that through congress and i believe it would save lives. >> sandra: mr. secretary i appreciate you coming on "america reports" today thank you for your time. >> john: thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> john: hope to see you again. >> sandra: we are moments away from the major campaign address from former president donald trump on what he is calling the "biden's border bloodbath" we will bring you live when it begins. cards is no. if you want to save hundreds of dollars every month, pay off the balances on your high rate cards with a lower rate va home loan from newday usa.

11:37 am
becoming a negative bloodbath. >> he is talking -- he was talking about a group of people. a group of people. that's what he is talking about. but the president was talking about during the primary was not to allow it to be the words and the primary of that election to become negative. two different things. they are not the same. and not the same. and your question is disingenuous. so, look, i'm going to be really careful here. we have to denounce final went frederick wherever it comes from we have to denounce violent rhetoric. we saw what happens on january 6th. we saw what happened. when you have a mob of 2,000 people go to the capital because they did not believe in the free and fair election of what just happened months prior because of violent rhetoric, you have to denounce that. that is not what leaders should be doing. i think i have to go.
11:38 am
go ahead, aaron. i rarely call on you but go ahead. >> john: karine jean-pierre respondent we don't know it's only what the question was what we think it had to do with the biden administration has been making so much of the former president saying there'll be a bloodbath if he is not elected as he was talking about the u.s. auto industry and i'm sure ducey found incidences where the current president used the word to describe situations come a lot of pushback from karine jean-pierre as she tried to dance around the issue. >> sandra: which tease this up with the live shot of the former president where he will have a speech in michigan that should happen any moment now. he is expected to hammer the border policies and those released in the texas border breach with more fodder for the trauma team. griff jenkins is live from the u dell mike white house what has been the reaction at the white house ahead of the
11:39 am
president's speech? >> sandra, what we have been seeing and he saw a little with peter and kareem jon perry is a pivot around labeled as disingenuous or whether it is specifically about the riot in el paso or in the case of what president -- former president trump was talking about in michigan it's murder is allegedly the hands of illegal immigrants. we did see just a moment ago peter also mixing it up with john kirby, similar question on the border and former president's br bloodbath speeche is given, watch this. >> a case of someone in this country illegally her name was ruby garcia. donald trump is out there now calling this biden's border bloodbath, what do you call it? >> first of all, i am not aware
11:40 am
of the specific of this case, that is terrible news. our thoughts and prayers obviously go to the family of miss garcia. i mean, that is the kind of news no family wants to get ever. and we would certainly defer to local law enforcement and investigative bodies to do the spade work that needs to be done to figure out exactly what happened to ruby. >> john: and a little further into that conversation you saw john kirby talking about what karine jean-pierre was talking about yesterday which was some congressional republicans are to blame for not taking action as we watch the podium in grand rapids the bottom right of your screen we will see what, president trump has to say. we know he will talk about that specific case that peter cited with miss garcia in march of last month and also other murders allegedly at the hands of illegal magic mike immigrants
11:41 am
in michigan in february and a few others so we will see what he has to say on one thing is clear is that trump is striking at the issue that voters most often cite as biden's biggest failure. according to fox's biggest polling 67% disapprove of his handling of immigration. sandra, that is worse then his disapproval on inflation or the economy. as we wait to former president trump has to say it will clearly be something the white house will have to openly address and one final note the leader of the caravan in mexico communicated with him this morning and said they are in a small southern half mexico town unclear where they intend to cross into the u.s., sandra? >> sandra: thank you, i can hear the rain coming down there in d.c. through my ifb. griff, thank you live from the white house, john? >> john: sender as we await the former president said will be about 5 minutes away we have former communications director
11:42 am
for senator joe medlin, and former press secretary about this illegal immigration issue what they've said in the past. listen. >> the jobs they hold may otherwise be held by illegal immigrants come the public service they use implodes burdens on our taxpayers. we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal immigrants we are a nation of immigrants but also a nation of laws. >> i believe we can be a nation of laws and immigrants. there is no doubt we have to get control of our borders. we can't have hundreds of thousands of people coming over to the united states without us having any idea of who they are. >> i mean talk about being light years away from now. what happened in the democratic party to get us from there to where we are today? >> i think going as far back as you have being congress unwilling to act for this. i was working for senator manchin in 2013 when we had a bipartisan bill to address
11:43 am
this, none of this would be happening right now if they got a boat in the house. i was with a mansion when john boehner said it was the biggest regret he ever had but there was also a 2018 bill that got killed and most recently a bill crafted by the second most conservative guy in the senate. a guy i don't think -- i don't think anyone accuses langford of being a rino, he had a bill that would've aggress this and it got killed. >> john: i didn't see u.s. presidents calling on congress to fix the problem. i saw u.s. president is concerned that immigration is a big problem. >> sandra: and leadership because of that was the case of a birth a gang of 13 or eight we would be in a different situation then how do you explain how do explain when donald trump was president when he had executive orders which effectively slowed to a very slow crawl illegal immigration at our border? and building the wall and all the things he talked about ad nauseam. we saw the difference of one donald trump was in office to
11:44 am
when joe biden undid those executive orders within minutes of taking office and ever since then it had been the delusion of illegal crossings that have now led to nearly every city, certainly every state in america, having this top of mind as cream jean-pierre would say and it's not enough to denounce rhetoric however out of context she might make it. you have to denounce what is happening at our border, what is happening at our states and announce the policies making it so. >> john: in 2019 there was clearly a big crisis on the border, donald trump reacted with the protocol be remain in mexico policies, really clamping down on cross border illegal immigration, as pointed out joe biden on day one joe biden rescinded all those rules and we are where we are today. seven and a half million people in biden's administration and yet biden says there is nothing he can do to deal with the problem. it has to be congress. clearly, jonathan, that is not
11:45 am
true, he is just not willing to do it. >> i think clearly some things prompted were overturned by the courts, some were illegal in that taking money from different government funds and using them to not to actually build the wall, but yes, biden wants congress to act so we can get the resources we need. we need more judges, we need more people adjudicating these issues and more people at the border. we need more people down there and biden cannot snap his fingers and do that. >> john: heartbreak and 15 seconds but real quick, ten seconds. >> i'm glad you take it as a crisis, it took years to admit >> john: standby we arn.eiq standingue by for the former president, wewill's w be right back to help manage blood sugar response. uniquely designed with carbsteady. glucerna. bring on the day. tired muscles and joints were keeping me from doing the things i loved most. not anymore. blue-emu gave me my freedom back.

11:50 am
donald trump is expected to take the stage in a moment now, the battleground state focus for the campaigning former president to talk biden's border bloodbath. obviously michigan is far from the southern border but republicans there have honed in and sharpened their rhetoric condemning the illegal immigration that is happening in this country after a 25 year old mexican was accused of killing his girlfriend in the state. it appears, john, they were rolling on a video on the stage as we see that some members have taken the stage but we have not seen the president yet. >> john: i'm told he is walking out 30 seconds if not less away. this'll be a huge battle in 2024, the old trump border policies versus the biden border policies. they are more than twice the number of people who crossed illegally in the first three

years that all the trump administration clearly the former president was able to do something the current president has not. sounds like clapping is for the former president as he makes his way out, the graph mind everyone by the way it is a history, a timeline of what has happened on the border under various administrations, sandra. >> sandra: here is a former president let's head to grand rapids and listen together >> mr. trump: it is an honor to be here the weather was a little rough but there is no way i would miss it. i see we have a lot of media here that is nice always nice they are our deep friends, right? [laughter] we are getting better over the years, much better. i do want to say hello to everyone. there is a special place to me and we will have a big victory, the polls are looking tremendous in michigan and wisconsin. we are going to do something i think that is very special. i think it will be a very special election. i've been saying november 5th of this year will be the most important today in history of
11:52 am
our country. i believe that. just remember that we are here this afternoon in grand rapids, michigan. 1,283 miles from the southern border, you've been hearing a lot about the southern border of the last couple of years. we put up a chart which is border related and use the lowest point in history was just before i left. just as i was leaving that was the lowest point. you see the arrows pointing and i think that chart spells out better than anything i can say today. in fact i c i don't have to say anything i could just leave, take a look at that. that's the best and then it looks like a rocket ship went off. when you look at the other numbers it is a shame. it's a sad a shame. under kirk and joe biden every state is now a border state, every town as a border town because joe biden has brought the carnage and chaos and killing from all over the world and dumped it straight into our backyards. people are coming in from
11:53 am
prisons and mental institutions, no one has ever seen anything like it. under the trump administration we had a tough policy of getting the bad people out to. we wanted to get them out we took them out by the thousands and we took as an example the ms-13 gangs that other countries didn't want to let them back in and we said we are not giving you any money. we give so much money in this case $793 million and i said that's okay we won't give you any money and they said we would be glad to have ms-13 coming back into our country. it would be an honor. and they took them back but they wouldn't take them back under obama under the obama administration. with biden they would not take them back and i was told they would not take them back and i said really? what do we give them? it was close to $800 million and say we are not giving it to them anymore and they immediately said let's take them back. that negotiation lasted about 3 minutes. we succeeded. that was an easy one. now under biden the bad ones are coming in at a level nobody ever

thought was even possible. nobody thought this was possible. in venezuela the crime is down 67% from was it was a year and a half ago because all of their gangs and alter criminals and they are depositing them into the united states of america. venezuela think of it there crime wouldn't would love to have statistic where crime is down 67%? ours is only going in one direction. it is called migrant crime they are having fistfights in the middle of the streets. they are sending prisoners, murderers, drug dealers, mental patience, and terrorists, the worst they have in every country all of the world. not just in south america. they are coming from the congo, from yemen, from somalia, from syria, they are coming from all over the world, china. many of them are military age which is a very strange -- you don't see many women coming
11:55 am
in and you see a lot of them coming in about 19-25, 26 years old. especially from china with 29,000 over the last few months. 29,000 from china and they all seem to be perfectly fit for military service. ready for military service, it's crazy. this is a country changing, country threatening, and country reckon, they have wrecked our country. i stand before you today to declare joe biden's border bloodbath and that's what it is it's a bloodbath. the tried to use that term indirectly on me two weeks ago its misinformation. they cheat at elections and disinformation misinformation fairly closely related those two words. they basically mean it is all talk. but it is a border bloodbath. it is destroying our country. is a very bad thing happening. it's an end on the day i take office which will be jan

january 20th. [cheers and applause] thank you. i want to thank members of congress. a lot of great congressmen are here, warriors really who fought with me a long time, john james, john molinaro and jack bergman, they are great friends of mine and they love your state. [applause] they love your state. i want to thank and congratulate because this guy has gone like a rocket ship, i've never seen -- well, i have a couple of times, gotten a lot of people elected, those endorsements are pretty good but you still have to endorse the right person because otherwise it doesn't work. your next u.s. senator mike rogers will be fantastic wherever mike is. [applause] wherever mike is, thank you, mike. he was a great congressmen and a tough guy too. he had one little sabbatical and went to cnn for a little while and it's okay. [laughter] other than that he has been
11:57 am
great, that's good because now you have a few of the more moderate people. we are being nice but he is a very respected person. he is the one we wanted and the one who decided to do it and i think he'll be a fantastic u.s. senator. always respected at the highest level. and it was always fair to us too what he did in this television thing he was always strong and fair. i also want to thank michigan senate republican leader eric nesbitt. where is eric? [applause] i think you are around here someplace. great job you are doing, eric. michigan house of republican leader matt hall. matt? [applause] they stand right in the middle those guys. former detroit police chief james, good guy too come a good guy. [applause] knows his way around and has done a great job, thank you very much. we have great support. i think he just supported mike, didn't he? did i hear that?
11:58 am
that's a big endorsement, that's a great endorsement, thank you, james. second-best. thank you. mike went up 61 points, can you imagine that? he went up 61 points. and that is really quite a raise. he went up in one night. i think that primary is over i think he is focused on the democrat. and the democrat is a radical lefty lunatic and it does not represent what michigan stands for i can tell you that. it does not revisit the autoworkers and wants to do the all electric cars all over the place that are all going to be made in china. very bad. so i think mike rogers is going to have tremendous success against her, former michigan attorney general bill shooting. thank you bill, very much. thank you. many here are some ex-congressmen, some congressmen, i won't go into it because we want to get down to
11:59 am
business. we want to get our country going again. we want to get the border closed and we want to have people coming into our country legally. moments ago we met with an incredible group of law enforcement leaders to discuss how michigan communities are being ravaged by a new form of crime and that is the migrant crime we name it it should be called biden migrant crime but that's too long but you will always member biden gave it to us. 11 days ago right here in kent county a 25-year-old michigan woman named ruby garcia who will become a very well-known name, beautiful young woman was savagely murdered by an illegal alien criminal under the trump administration. this monster had been deported, thrown out of the country, was not going to be able to come back because you just have to look at the charts, it was very, very hard to get in. but he came back. we threw him out of the country and crooked joe biden took him back.
12:00 pm
let him back in and let him stay in. he viciously killed ruby. the illegal alien charged with ruby's heinous killing, this is somebody who had many, many arrests including for some very bad crimes he committed. and he was set loose to roam our streets in this case set loose to roman michigan by politicians that are left and weak and stupid. by march 22nd he shot 17-year-old ruby, actually, she was a beautiful, beautiful young woman. ruby garcia was shot multiple times with an illegally obtained handgun. her body was dumped on the side of the highway left to die actually. had a little life left, left to die, and ruby passed away and it has been a big story because it is s
