Mission, texas. Whats the story where you are there now . John, good afternoon to you. Our viewers might remember the day before title 42 ended back in may, dhs Secretary Mayorkas held a Press Conference at the white house where he promised there would be stiffer consequences for anybody caught crossing the border illegally after the end of title 42. What he had to say back then. I want to be very clear. Our borders are not open. People who cross our border unlawfully and without a legal basis to remain will be promptly processed and removed. Will be promptly removed, he said at the time. Well, that is not reality what we are seeing on the ground here in the Rio Grande Valley, we see mass releases of migrants taking place from the federal government. Our Team Shooting this video, Catholic Charities of Rio Grande Valley here in the mcallen area, we watched bus load of bus load dropped off, mostly family units, once they get to the charity they will be helped with travel, and dates in the future, and they are not hoping to be released, they are expecting to be released. They have little to no fear of deportation and that is why they seek Border Patrol out and turn themselves into agents out in the field. In the mission area, tracking a Human Smuggler bringing migrants through the brush after they crossed illegally. Texas dps arresting them quickly. The smuggler, 26yearold Mexican National facing Felony Charges, and the drone in the eagle pass area, more trying to cross illegally despite the for for fortify, and sometimes between 700 and and 900. And Border Patrol has sent elite four Star Search And Rescue teams over to maui to help out with the ongoing Recovery Efforts there. Interesting to point out that Border Patrol resources are in hawaii right now trying to help out with the ongoing tragedy there. Back to you. The president just about set to speak on maui as well, so we are watching that closely for you. Thank you. Gillian a live look at milwaukee, wisconsin, where the president just began speaking. We are told he is going to address the Deadly Wildfires in hawaii off the top. Well take you there as soon as he starts to do so. In the interim, press secretary Karine Jeanpierre continues to defer questions about the Hunter Biden Investigation except to claim the president views the investigation as a private family matter. Jacqui heinrich joins us from the north lawn of the white house. Jacqui, does the team at all appear concerned about the probe ramping up as the president s seeking reelection . Well, gillian, one point to note, yesterday the press secretary was asked if the president is frustrated his sons plea deal is falling apart and that hunter biden would be facing a criminal indictment just as his father is heading into election season. And interestingly enough, Karine Jeanpierre in her answer responded to allegations about President Bidens involvement in all of this. If you think about what republicans in congress have tried to do for years, right, making claims of, and allegations, right, about the president on this front, over and over again and whats the result of that if you ask yourself what we have seen from that, they keep turning up documents and witnesses showing the president wasnt involved, never discussed these Business Dealings and did nothing wrong. Karine also reiterated the president has not been in business with his son and doj has not interfered, but that david weiss is criticized over the socalled Sweetheart Deal engineered for hunter, and bidens orbit, his sons Attorney Suggested Weiss has succumbed to political pressure to take the probe further, she did not want to weigh in on the handling of this case. Gillian jacqui, over to the president , addressing the wildfires in hawaii. Deadliest wildfire in more than 100 years. A whole city destroyed. Generations of native hawaiian history turned into ruin. I have spoken with governor josh green multiple times and reassured him the state will have everything it needs from the federal government. I immediately approved the expedited declaration, whatever you need, you will get, and will get aid into the hands of people who need it, lost their homes and loved ones, and damaged and destroyed. All the area they have to plow up, they cant do it, dont know how many bodies are there. Imagine being a mom or dad wondering where your child is, or mother or father, its tough stuff. Almost 500 federal personnel deployed to maui to help the communities and survivors get back on their feet. Fema, search and rescue teams are sifting through the ashes and the fivemile area you have seen on television. Its painstaking work, it takes time, its nerve wracking. Most of the debris cant be removed until its done. My wife jill and i will be travelling there, i dont want to get in the way, ive been to too many Disaster Areas, but i want to make sure they have everything they need. Fema administrator, the best we have had, i think, was on the ground this weekend, i talked to her, shes back in the states. I directed her to streamline the process as quickly as possible. To help register survivors, and to date fema has approved 50,000 meals, 75 water, 5,000 beds, 10,000 blankets and other supplies. And one time payments of 700 per household to do the immediate things, taking care of medication and prescription they so badly need. We are working with the state to make sure survivors who have lost their homes have a place to call home until we can rebuild. We are also surging federal personnel to the state, to help the brave firefighters and First Responders, many of whom lost their own homes, their properties, while they are out busting their neck to save other people. They are still working around the clock to put the fires out, evacuate survivors to safety and find the missing. Ive ordered to assist, coast guard, Navy Third Fleet and the u. S. Army. And the immediate aftermath the coast guard and navy support maritime searches and rescue operations. Army helicopters help Fire Suppression and efforts on the big island because there is still some burning on the big island, not the one where you see on television all the time. Fema has deployed more than 140 urban search and rescue personnel as well. And so Many Organizations to thank, like the american red cross, cell phone providers, making sure First Responders can make and respond calls, commercial airlines have Evacuated Tens Of Thousands from the island. List goes on. And the Small Business administration has dozens of staff on the island and begun making low interest federal disaster loans available to businesses, homeowners and renters to help them rebuild, to get by for the immediate and near term. And coordinate, continue to coordinate relentlessly for the people on the ground and make sure the critical work continues. In the meantime, use the phrase, ive been to so many disasters, its almost hollow, our thoughts and prayers for the people of hawaii, not just our prayers, every asset, every asset they need will be there for them, well be on maui as long as it takes, as long as it takes, i mean that sincerely, well have more to report on this. But today i have come to milwaukee to talk about what we are going to do to bring manufacturing back home. The progress, the economy, not the top down gillian we have been listening to President Biden giving remarks in milwaukee, wisconsin, one year of the Inflation Reduction Act anniversary but opened, john, with remarks about maui, about the wildfires he just reiterated a commitment he made this morning to be there as long as it takes, to help the residents build back their lives. John and saying he and the first lady will visit maui as soon as is practical, but he says there is so much work to do in terms of trying to find the missing and where the bodies are before they can even begin to think about the cleanup. So, a long road ahead for a beautiful part of the country. All right, moving on, a Georgia Grand Jury indicted former President Trump on 13 new Criminal Charges stemming from the States Election interference investigation. The latest indictment brings a total of 91 charges across four criminal cases now aimed at the former president. That means trump is facing a Campaign Season unlike any other in american history, several trial dates Overlapping Key events. Jason chaffetz, so, Andy Mccarthy took a look at the latest charges, 41 in total, 18 people named, compared to the other cases facing the former president , jason had said by his legal Estimation This Georgia Case is potentially the most perilous for the former president. What do you think . It is, because there is no president ial pardon, there is no ability to do anything other than incarceration if you are there, and the governor cant get you out of hot water either. They cant go out and bail you out or and do that, and so it is fairly perilous for the president. But look at the charges, at one point you almost have to laugh. 91 charges, i mean, lets make it a round 100. I mean, at some point it becomes static and noise out there. Its pretty hard to take this prosecutor in georgia seriously when one of the coconspirators is kanye wests former communications person, like a publicist for kanye west was colluding with the president , thats what this has come down to . And then compare and contrast Stacey Abrams. I mean, you want to talk about an Election Denier . She said everything that happened in georgia was a fraud and farce and brian kemp is not the legitimate governor of georgia, how come there arent charges against her. Seems they are picking on the guy and doing so selectively. No balance in the administration of justice. John one of the false statements she cites is the president post election saying i won the election. He was not saying that to the fbi during the interview or anything like that, im not quite sure how you make the case that that is a false statement. Whether or not it was true is one thing, but actually say legally its a false statement, im not sure how she makes that case. The president has a schedule facing him unlike any other that ive ever seen in a president ial campaign. Put up on the screen what hes facing in the next six months or so. Letitia james New York State business fraud case, supposed to take place in october 2nd, jack smith january 6th prosecution, scheduled for january of next year, just before the iowa caucuses, right after super tuesday, you have the alvin bragg and Stormy Daniels case, march of 2024, jack smith documents case for may of 2024, just as primary season typically is wrapping up, and georgia case, we dont even know when that is going to happen. Youve been through primary seasons as a surrogate, ive covered them as a correspondent. The candidates dont have a minute to even breathe just getting to and from the political events. How do you throw this on top of that and have former President Trump campaign to the degree he might need to in order to fend off any challenge . Well, certainly it is time consuming, but also very expensive and you know, there are some people would look at that and say thats the whole point. Election was in 2020. You telling me they waited two and a half years to get after three years just happens to coincide in the middle of the election . Why werent these charges brought a long time ago. What information did they garner in the last year they could not have gotten in the first year on all of these cases and just makes you wonder if he wasnt the leader of the republican, in all the polling, if he wasnt making head roads would they actually going after the guy the way they did. I still go back to the Washington Post article that appeared on the literally the day that donald trump was inaugurated saying the impeachment proceedings have essentially begun. And i think thats been the attitude of the democrats. John and if he wins again, im sure theyll likely begin on january 20, 2025. You know, all of this doesnt seem to be having any kind of effect on his popularity with republican voters. My family feud moment, the survey says rcp average for the gop nomination, former President Trump still way out in front with 54. 5 . Even if he is jailed, lets say he loses the case, jailed on Felony Charges he can still run for president. If he becomes president he could pardon himself on the federal charges. The state charges, if hes incarcerated might be more problematic. The case could be made its more important to have him act as Commander In Chief than to keep him in jail. We are beyond precedent here, jason. Yeah, but this is where it get to the theater of the absurd. It just becomes almost a farce to suggest what the democrats are doing here in so many of these charges. I think at the heart of the problem, its not going to move republicans, its not going to move democrats, they have already kind of locked in their thoughts and feelings here. I think for the average Middle Of The Road voter out there they look at this, they hear a lot of static, noise, but dont see the equal application of justice. Hillary clinton was one of the biggest Election Deniers, she said donald trump wasnt a legitimate president , said the election was fraudulent, and now shes just snickering over there saying oh, well, they are just administering justice on trump. If you cant criticize an election and exercise your First Amendment rights, how come Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams and other democrats get away with it. John we have a lot to chew over between now and november of next year. Thank you for joining us. Gillian President Biden is still speaking in swing state of wisconsin. He says bidenomics is for the heartland. John do americans feel the same as the president or a different opinion . Iowa senator joni ernst is at the Iowa State Fair. She joining us with what iowans have to say. I think economy is important, job security. Farming, making sure they can have their family farms and be a farming community, people can still have that, that is a big concern. Veteran homeowners, Credit Card Debt piling up . Great news.
