2,943 held beyond the 72 hour limit placed on border patrol. homeland security says the u.s. could soon reach the highest number of people apprehended at the border and more than 20 years. immigration lawyers say migrants are sending their children over the border alone illegally so they won't be sent back. democrats are blaming former president trump for the overwhelming surge of the border. he and his successor, president joe biden, are speaking out tonight. did biden administration still refuses to call it happening a crisis. >> people are coming in by the hundreds of thousands, young children are coming in. they leave their homes and they come up because they think it's going to be so wonderful and frankly our country can handle it. it is a crisis like we've rarely had. certainly we've never had on the border. but it's going to get much worse. >> shannon: hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. white house correspondent kevin corke is tracking what both presidents trump and biden are saying about the border tonight. good evening. >> good evening. from the sharp rising gas prices to encouraging all americans frankly to take the covid-19 vaccine if you can, president trump obviously had plenty to say tonight about the state of the country and most notably perhaps about the job joe biden is doing. while he said he wasn't quite sure before when he might announce another run for perhaps office in the future, he certainly didn't have any shyness about talking about the things that he is seeing happening on the border with respect to illegal crossings. >> they are coming in from everywhere. they are dropping them off and they are pouring into our country. it's a disgrace. >> former president trump holding nothing back in his assessment of the devastating crisis on the southern border. illegal migration exploding on mr. biden's watch. and he says because of his lax policies. >> my policies were working better than they've ever seen on the seven border. the wall is almost complete. they should finish it. they are destroying our country. >> the comments are part of a wide-ranging conversation with maria bartiromo on fox news prime time. amid reports there are upwards of 13,000 illegal migrant minors in u.s. custody along the border. a problem former president says his successor is responsible for. biden is pushing back on the idea that he is somehow throwing down a welcome that for illegal migration. >> the idea that joe biden said come, because i heard the other day they're coming because they said i'm a nice guy. here's the deal. they're not. >> do you have to say quite clearly don't come? >> yes, i can say quite clearly don't come. >> a message of don't come, but policies won't turn them away if they do. thousands of migrants being released into the interior of the country with no family match dna tests, no covid-19 tests, and no guarantees that they will show up for court dates once processed. in sharp contrast to a trickle of his predecessors border wall and remained in mexico policies. the former president took a bit of a victory lap for his administration's operation warm speed which delivered multiple vaccines in record time and he encouraged all americans to get the shot as soon as possible. >> we got the vaccine done in nine months instead of five years. fortunately that's not only going to save our country. it's going to save the world. i would recommend it and i would recommend it to a lot of people that don't want to get it. >> as for the possible 2024 white house run, the former president was a bit more cautious, as i mentioned earlier. he noted an excellent chance of the g.o.p. flipping the house and senate and he said he'd like to see how it plays out. he did acknowledge he has plenty of support among g.o.p. voters and i should also point out quickly march 25th is when we will finally get a news conference for mr. biden. shannon. >> shannon: it's coming. we know you will cover it for us. california governor ghassan gavn newsom. the required 1.5 million signatures elected. jonathan hunt tells us where things stand. he's live in l.a. >> good evening, shannon. after months of saying nothing about the recall effort, gavin newsom is suddenly saying a whole lot. >> we will fight it. wheel defeated. we are ready to go. >> answering questions as he toured a soon to be a reopen school and going on national networks to push his claim that the recall is driven by right-wing extremists. >> you have people that are part of the lead coalition that started this petition that are avid proud boy members, part of the three presenters, right-wing militia group, supporters of qanon. >> newsom was pushed on whether he believes the 2 million californians who have reportedly signed the petition are extremists. the governor sidestepped the question. the fact is we don't know if this point, neither does gavin newsom with the political affiliations are of those who back the recall. but one of the movement's most outspoken leader's claims he does know and he told us tonight around of third of those who signed either democrats or declined to state a party. >> it's about people and the people have a gripe with gavin newsom and that's why we've been so, so successful thus far to get it on the ballot. >> the recall effort has been backed by some progressives such as anna cast. >> all the failure in the state. >> several silicon valley tech moguls also support the recall, among them billionaire part owner of the golden state warriors in one of the founders of paypal. the recall signatures scheduled to be delivered to officials by tomorrow. each of them will be verified or disqualified and the final numbers reported to the california secretary of state. just under 1.5 million of the reported 2 million signatures have to be accepted for recall vote to go ahead. if it does, it's likely to come in october or november. shannon. >> shannon: allred, jonathan, thank you for the update. breaking tonight, president biden says new york governor andrew cuomo should resign if the investigation by the state attorney general confirms the growing sexual harassment allegations made against him. correspondent alex hogan has the latest from new york city. good evening, alex. >> good evening, shannon. governor andrew cuomo accused of sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior and of creating a hostile work environment. a new leaked conversation giving a look into the divide of how lawmakers are handling the scandal. >> the governor a hot topic of conversation during a conference among assembly democrats. the audio obtained by yahoo! news showing varying opinions on how to move forward. in a heated debate majority of democrats say they want the governor to go but don't think he will. the assembly men allegedly arguing we have a moral duty, constitutional duty to remove him from office if he does not resign. members angered over leaks. an assembly member saying i think whoever did that is a coward for going outside the conference. last week and approval of the investigation. >> i don't believe he intends to do any sort of impeachment. i think they are trying to wait out the attorney general report which we also done have a timeline on. >> new york state senate majority leader says she believes there's a majority: on cuomo to step down but not noting if there are enough votes to impeach. tonight the new report by "the new york times" finding that days after the first accusation by lindsay boylan, the governor's aides began circulating an open letter attacking boylan's credibility. the goal: allegedly to have former aides especially women sign it which no one did. >> the president weighing into my in an interview with abc. bidens has these claims turn out to be true, cuomo should resign and will probably end up being prosecuted. >> shannon: alex hogan in new york, thank you. "the washington post" under scrutiny overcorrection the paper had to issue. using a single anonymous source to claim the former president trump in a december call with the top investigator for the georgia secretary of state told her to "find the fraud." >> one thing i will say it, "the washington post" did a correction. a lot of pressure was put on them but they did a correction because they realize what they did was wrong. son i have to find out was at "the washington post"'s fault or the people that run the elections in georgia? >> shannon: let's get reaction to the interview from fox news contributors guy benson and deroy murdock. great to have you with us. "the washington post" erik wemple writes "misreporting the words of the highest elected official in the land is a serious lapse and one that in this case seems so unnecessary. when it comes to phone calls the only good sources are the ones were dialed in." >> i would like to focus on the consequences of the story. it wasn't just a random error. it's a fake news that wound up as part of president trump's second impeachment trial. the consequences, will anything happen to the writer who wrote the story, the editors who approved it. will he be fired, suspended? will they pay any price for it or will they just go on and continue as if nothing happened. these egregious errors occurring, nobody pays any price and that's probably part of the reason it keeps coming up and we see more and more examples of this seemingly every day or every other day. >> shannon: "the federalist" go through list of similar errors caused a great deal of trouble for president trump and yet they can't discern that anyone suffered any real consequences. they say five totally bogus stories. wikileaks emails, michael flynn's russian relationship, u.s. intel agencies agree. anthony scaramucci and the investment fund and trump direction to lie. it doesn't seem to be an isolated incident and they seem these errors or anonymous stories that are change later, they seem to fall in one direction. >> that i think is a key piece because if it was evenly distributed with stories that made big mistakes in favor of president trump and big mistakes against him, that would be one thing. people make errors. we are all human and journalism isn't perfect when you see this zeal among almost all the press corps who hated the former president, i think corners were cut if the goal was to help take them down. there was a huge appetite for that, huge incentive among the press corps especially the elite press corps to take him down a peg or more and that's why you see the direction of almost all the mistakes, the dominoes falling, the cascade in one direction. this is the latest one. it is a black eye for "the washington post" and the many other news organizations who ran the exact same falsified quotes saying that they had independently corroborated it i guess from the exact same source. now we have the source material. here comes the correction. eye-opener. >> shannon: when you look at this, of course the former president raising claims it could have impacted and a lot of people think the georgia senate races because of the suggestion that he was doing something inappropriate for the georgia didn't have things under control. that there were other ripple effects what happened. also they were pointing out "the new york post," the story on hunter biden, essentially silenced by big tech leading into the election. how stories are drafted, what stories are promoted, which are suppressed. it does have a big impact on elections potentially. >> it has a huge impact and i think it's a great contrast. how this fake story was pumped up, as guide pointed out, the actual story that there is a federal investigation of hunter biden and there was last fall. that story was squelched as you may remember "the new york post," oldest newspaper in america had its twitter page unplugged for 15 or 16 days at the height of the political campaign, exactly that time voters should get information make their decisions. that contrast is quite dramatic and very telling and very unfortunate. >> shannon: guy, and to the issue about punishment, the fact that a number of companies and media outlets have done this kind of thing over the last three or four years and probably dating way before that, they make mistakes or they make errors that a lot of people worry and wonder whether they are intentional or at least because of a driving ideology behind the story as it's being written. what will there be for a consequence? the people reading the stories probably many subscribers wanted to hear that president trump was doing some thing wrong. they are not going to run out and cancel their subscriptions to "the washington post." how does anybody get held accountable for what happened here? >> is part of a wider truth or a higher truth or a general truth even if these specific details in a given story are factually wrong. i think that's inexcusable. it's not journalism. a lot of journalists talk a lot and paying much lip service to the concept of accountability for a politician. there has to be accountability for members of the media as well. if the media looks at the polling right now and it's not new. this has been for years. they are, especially these days, they are at a nadir. a majority of americans and some polls, super majority of americans do not trust the news media. the whole phrase fake news which deroy used, it's not something people chant in a trance. people have been angered, radicalized by these types of mistakes that seem agenda driven for years and trump started punching back hard, sometimes too hard in my opinion. it resonated with people because of the dishonesty and here we have a concrete example of fake news that ran in one of the most prestigious and influential newspapers in the country. as you said, it's not the first time and i suspect it won't be the last time. >> shannon: guy benson, deroy murdock, thank you both. >> thank you, shannon. >> shannon: a man in custody following a series of fatal shootings at three atlanta area massage parlors that leave eight people dead. reporting live tonight on the latest details, good evening. >> it started about 30 miles from where i'm standing in atlanta. five people were shot, four killed. one of the victims is in the hospital. authorities say the alleged shooter came here to atlanta. i want to show you where this all unfolded. it happened at two spas along a busy part of atlanta. police say they were responding to one spa when they got a call about shots fired at the spa just across the street. at one, they found three bodies. at the other, they found one body, all were asian women. it begs the question, was it racially motivated? at the atlanta police tell us it's too early in the investigation to know whether or not this was. we are waiting for any new updates from them on this. we are told the suspect, a 21-year-old, from the atlanta area. he is in custody tonight. we do have his booking photo. another thing. [audio breaking up] keeping an eye on all the things. we are still waiting on the atlanta police to give us the more updates but we will continue to bring you updates as we get them. life in atlanta.

gascon says he's planning review of questionable conditions. tweeting has resolved that the criminal justice reform will prevail despite a backlash by what he's calling "tough on crime" types. let's discuss the latest. sheriff alex villanueva. sheriff, good to have you back. would you call yourself a tough on crime type? >> i call myself a smart on crime. there's two extremes, tough on crime, soft on crime. neither one serves the public interest. after focus on smart on crime. >> shannon: this is why george gascon is saying the pursuit of justice is timeless. that requires us to safeguard the integrity of our system going forward and to look back to correct the injustices of the past. do you have any issues without going through these old cases to see, if there was racial bias or prosecutorial misconduct? he says the number of people in jail wrongfully convicted is higher than we would think. >> i think he is judged by the people he's surrounded himself with. he goes to jail he believes everyone there is innocent. he couldn't find a crook in san quentin. but the point is there's a process already. the scales of justice allows for due process and gives ample opportunity for someone who truly innocent at the investigative level, at the beginning, at the first deputies on scene. who gets detain, who gets arrested. investigators hone that. if there is probable because they do a search warrant and executed. it goes to a trial. goes to the d.a.'s office to prosecute someone to the fullest extent of the law. from there there is ample opportunities for appeal but now he wants to revisit everything as if everyone in jail is innocent and all the cops are guilty. he's increasing the ability to prosecute law enforcement while decreasing his prosecution of violent criminals. >> shannon: we are hearing from a number of victims, loved ones of family members were left behind watching him take these reforms. i want to play something from the son of a murdered california officer about how he feels under gascon's leadership. >> i don't feel safe. i don't feel justice. i feel going forward is going to have horrifying repercussions for law enforcement officers. already on the edge, having to watch everything they do. these are the people protecting us. going forward, it's terrifying to me as a victim and as a normal member of society, what this means just being on the street. >> shannon: share of you and i have talked about victims and family members left behind. gascon has said that they have to go into parole hearings and face people up for parole who have may be harmed or killed members of their family and a prosecutor is not allowed to go in. that is gascon's role. we hear more and more people, like this young man, saying that they're worried about what's happening under these new plans. >> i spoke with family member member whose son was murdered and prosecutors and the person was upper parole and she explained to me yesterday that she was previously assisted by the district attorney's office since they abandon her, she herself had to get a copy of the investigative file, something that she never saw. she was shielded because it had images of her murdered son in graphic detail. she had to sift through it herself and explained to the parole board why this person was not suitable to be released. that's unconscionable. why we would victimize people already suffering for so much. our investigators are going to step in where we can and our cases but unfortunately we are only one-third of the cases coming out of l.a. county. we need the chiefs of police had all the investigators from all the other agencies to do the same to fill in a void that they district attorney has abandoned. >> shannon:

shannon: with seven accusers, andrew cuomo remains the governor of new york. sheldon whitehouse looking to relitigate justice brett kavanaugh's confirmation hearing calling on the new attorney general to look into what he's calling the potentially fake fbi investigation into the claims against the justice. there are stark differences between the cases. justice brett kavanaugh initially faced the single accusation with no corroborating evidence from high school. there were two additional accusers including one who backtracked her story almost completely when pressed on the facts. nearing democratic governor andrew cuomo stands accused by seven women of harassing words or actions. they either work for him or covered him while he's been governor including the last year. they provided dates, documents, and details. the protests against cuomo have been minuscule in comparison to the waves of opposition that rocked capitol hill and the court during the kavanaugh confirmation protests. it's not over says democratic commissioner sheldon whitehouse because he says the fbi background investigation into the kavanaugh allegations was "politically constrained and perhaps fake." white house points out the fbi didn't listen to other witnesses and he sources a "new york times" book review article about a former clinton attorney who said he witnessed kavanaugh mako lewd gesture. he was not interviewed by the fbi. the near times reported the female student declined to be interviewed and friends say she does not recall the episode. sheldon whitehouse criticized christopher wray. the doj says the department has received and is reviewing the letter. whitehouse's views on near governor andrew cuomo are far less pointed. asked if it's time for cuomo to resign. >> to me he is new york's problem. >> shannon: if he believes the accusers. >> victims telling their stories is something that we need to respect and acknowledge. >> shannon: new questions about the origins of the covid-19 pandemic. u.s. state department former lead investigator believes the virus could have come from research being done on a bio weapon from a lab in wuhan, china. that investigator joins us. david, welcome. >> thank you very much. nice to be with you. >> shannon: i want to read something. talking about the huge delay in getting experts into the country to look around and the delay in the report. the covid origins report postponed likely due next week. they say in the end, the team of investigators arrived in wuhan more than a year after the first cases. they were discovered in december of 2019. what can we expect to find out? what may we never find out? >> i think one of the first things your listeners need to understand is these people really aren't investigators. they are medical doctors. they have different capacities in the medical field. none of them is a real professional investigator. there are people that are medical sleuths out there in the world. we have a community of them in our center for disease control. you can notice none of them is actually invited to join the w.h.o. delegation. the one american leading the u.s. contingent i guess we'd safer the delegation is a fellow who was employed by the wuhan institute of virology. the level of complicity and compromise to begin with, massive time delay. the time the chinese have taken to destroy evidence, covered up and now handpick the members of our own delegation including their guy who's worked with them under contract ironically funded by our own lead doctor, dr. tony fauci. it's a mystery. it's all summarized around one phrase and that's called gain of function. that may sound really complicated but it's not. it's the manipulation of genetic material to increase the virulence of diseases. for some reason, the united states medical disease community and with many international partners have decided we can get ahead of biology using synthetic techniques. we have been doing it in partnership with the chinese wuhan institute since at least 2007. i would argue the difference between gain of function in the context of developing a weapon and gain of function in the context of developing the vaccine to protect against a weapon, there's not much of a difference these days. you're not going to really understand the nexus of this program and what it was trying to accomplish unless you understand who was involved, where the money was coming from and what their motivations were. we disclosed on generate 15 from secretary pompeo, it was a military funded secret program being carried out by the people's liberation army scientists. they were directly tied into the biological weapons program of the chinese government. this wasn't the national institute of health, okay? this was something resembling something out of a sensitive u.s. military program. the whole thing is sort of screwed up from top down and the fact that the chinese have covered it up is largely because they want to protect what was a weapons program in my mind. >> shannon: they have had a lot of time here will watch for the w.h.o. report next week. knowing what you have said, taking the qualifiers. we would love to have you come back and talk about it once we have what they put on paper as their cause and get your reaction. david asher, thank you for your time. >> okay, thank you

"women of the bible." a lot of people seem to be very thirsty for that kind of thing right now. >> shannon, i'm so excited for your book. couldn't be more timely when you think about the conversations going on in culture, business, and faith in terms of the role of women in leadership. you say there's a lot of noise. let's go to the bible. what did the bible say about women? countless stories in your book that jesus saw women, welcomed women, elevated women. jesus broke the glass ceiling for women in so many ways. for anyone out there that doesn't feel seen, think of mary magdalene. jesus said her name at the tomb when he rose again. her name. he knows our name as well, shannon. all these stories inspire and remind us that women have played intricate roles in the life, legacy and ministry of jesus christ. >> shannon: i was so encouraged by studying them and i hope other people will feel hopeful. there's highs and lows in the book. god is working through their stories. megan alexander, thank you. good to see you. chad pergram tells us what democrats used to say versus what they say now about the filibuster. that's next. ♪ a pair of jeans that fit just right ♪ ♪ and the radio up ♪ get 5 boneless wings for $1 with any handcrafted burger. only at applebee's. we made usaa insurance for members like martin. an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. ♪ usaa ♪ ♪ ♪ we're made for. ♪ ♪ (quiet piano music) ♪ ♪ comfort in the extreme.
