>> steve: todd and carley, thank you very much. 6:00 on the east coast. wednesday, june 5th. and this is "fox & friends." and we start with a fox news alert. years in the making, we saw this coming, president biden's executive order action yesterday went into effect at midnight while you were sleeping. but, you know what? republicans like it, parts of it. democrats hate it in parts of it. >> solve the problem. to me solving the problem is expanding the path to citizenship. >> it's trying to be all tough on the border. it confuses the message about what we stand for. >> brian: always love the squad. and "time" magazine, i guests delivered to my house once a month interviewed joe biden and now the reporters are addressing the question of his age. >> he appears very much as he appears on tv. he is older than when he started in office. it's visible. >> brian: okay. he expands on that. >> steve: i think we all know that. >> brian: we all got older. >> steve: news flash. >> brian: breaking news. this as a "national journal" report aides and lawmakers are discussing his cognitive decline behind closed doors. >> rachel: breaking news, brian, is that you have a subscription to "time." >> brian: i fill out the little card. ains. >> rachel: now we also have a fox weather alert. the first major heat wave of the season is sweeping across the west with temperatures reaching 108 in vegas. 109 in phoenix and expected to be even hotter tomorrow. janice is tracking it all with the maps. >> lawrence: make sure you stay hydrated. "fox & friends" starts right now. remember, mornings are better with friends. ♪ >> steve: all right. let's start here. a fox news alert. joe biden's border executive action is now in effect, has been for six hours and one minute as cbp sources confirm agents are seeing an average of 5,000 illegal border crossings a day. and this is over the cap. >> rachel: the union lateral action allows the federal government to block most illegals from entering the u.s. when crossings reach a certain level. >> lawrence: lucas tomlinson is here to spell out the new border policy. lucas? lucas lucas good morning, guys. you recall president biden said back in january he had done all he could to fix the southern border. for months the white house floated plans for taking these executive actions and now, five months before election day, here they are. let's list them. biden's executive action shuts down the all right effort consecutive seven day average of 2500 encounters a day. it only reopens after encounters drop to 1500 day. illegal immigrants receive a minimum of 5 year ban on reentry and can be criminally prosecuted. it prevents the border officials from admitting new asylum seekers while active. still allows 1.8 million illegal migrants to enter per year. critics say this is proof the white house does have the ability to close the border. now, here is some exceptions to these new executive actions. they will not allow visa holders, unaccompanied children, minors, victims of, quote: severe form of trafficking and those using the cbp 1 app. it's not clear how many migrants will be quickly down loading that app. right now, guys. here is biden's dhs chief with neil cavuto. >> we deal with unaccompanied children in a humanitarian way. >> it encourages drug cartels to take advantage of those kids. does it not, sir? >> neil, we are taking it to the drug cartels with unprecedented strength through our transnational criminal investigative unit. we are taking it to the cartels. we accepted unaccompany -- excepted unaccompanied children from asylum bar. >> donald trump's former dhs chief chad wolf say executive actions are an indictment of biden's failed policy since taking office and proof that biden lied to the american people about not being able to do this previously, guys. >> brian: lucas, do we know how and how they are turning people around? so they capture them. we are over the cap. sorry, return to sender. where are we sending them? do we give them a motor scooter? do we send them back to mexico? what are we doing? >> well, the big proof right now is going to be how many migrants are crossing. i think in the next few weeks we will be able to tell how effective the white house and the border patrol is in vught down the border. they are successful in shutting it down if these migrant numbers increase it will be proof all along that the white house had the ability to do this guys. >> steve: we know what the number is going to be, legally 17,500 a week over a million a year. we are only talking about the people who come in between the ports of entry. at the ports of we have, you knock on the door they are going to let you in if you have got a reservation. but it's the people between, that's the problem. lucas lucas there is over nearly 2 million migrants who did not get apprehended who just jumped into the country and we don't know where they're right now. >> brian: did you see the video of bill melugin in san diego. >> lawrence: with the one border agent. thanks, lucas. so, yesterday, we were just talking about this. you had alejandro mayorkas on cavuto and talking about the crisis that is happening. this is after him saying that they had operational control. >> brian: three years. >> lawrence: border is secure. and all of a sudden they want to address this with executive action. neil cavuto brought up, legal pass is at the pertinent at the crisis. i got to fact-check you. it's no longer the epicenter because texas has shut it down. now if you look at the crisis now and shifted to california. but, if you really want to have a policy conversation. if you really want to go after the border and talk harden news, then you go on jimmy kimmel and have a conversation about the crisis. watch. >> so then there was a bipartisan group that included some of the most conservative senators in the united states senate who came together with democrats who resolve some of these issues. and that was the plan. that agreement. well, the republicans in congress got a call from donald trump don't do the deal because, you see, he preferred a run on problem instead of fixing a problem. and that's the tragedy of it. and we -- our point has been very clear. there are solutions at hand, and let's do the right thing. and, again, i think this points to a significant contrast for the people in november. >> brian: she is a genius. the border czar who broke the border and told us it was sealed. then she admits it's bad and donald trump's fault for blowing up a deal she had nothing to deal with although she had a chance to define herself taking control of that situation. grabbing a jean shirt, rolling up your sleeves at least pretending you are on top of things. instead she goes on that show. she is focusing on the root causes of the problem. >> lawrence: three years area. >> now it's mauritania. >> rachel: and china. >> brian: good luck with that go to the root causes. grab a globe. >> rachel: with the cbp app. can you come in. >> steve: make a reservation. >> brian: it's open table. everything is open table. >> rachel: 4500 they cap. think about of your own home. after 2500 intruders, then you are going to lock the door? >> brian: exactly. >> rachel: it doesn't make any sense. i want to hit on what mayorkas said about the children. one of the exceptions is we allow un unaccompanied minors i. that's the most troubling part of this entire thing. >> steve: absolutely. >> rachel: they should not be let in because this thing is out of control. what they should do is when an unaccompanied minor comes, if they have a number attached or somebody comes to claim them, i have spoken to people at the border and they say they will hand them off to illegal immigrants. well, we don't know who those illegal immigrants are. >> lawrence: they could be traffickers. >> rachel: that's why we have lost track of 80,000 of them, at least. as you saw in the interview that we did with donald trump this past weekend. i asked them if you become the president, do you promise to find these children? and he said. >> brian: it's going to be impossible. >> rachel: it's an effort. we have taken people off of sex trafficking cases in the fbi to make sure we get j-6ers. maybe find out who these kids are. >> lawrence: moms at school board meetings. >> steve: listen, the more you look at it, the more there isn't really anything there you know what? there is a headline. if you look at the major newspapers today, it's all about how joe biden is shutting down the border. is he not shutting down the border. he has got some really bad poll numbers. right now seven in 10 say that joe biden has no control over the border. and it's five months before the election. and so now what they are trying to do is make it look like he is doing something. as much as republicans and conservatives and border hawks would like to see more at the southern border. there are a lot of democrats who are absolutely apoplectic about what he has done. they say joe caved to republican demands. he ignored the immigration law. and the worry is it's going to alienate the democratic base. and they need those people to go vote. and that is why hillary vaughn was on capitol hill yesterday talking to a number of democrats, and they don't even like it. >> do you think the president has introduced a comprehensive immigration reform bill that is the kind of work that we need to be doing and that we want him to emphasize. so that there is a clear difference between what he and democrats are pushing for and what donald trump pushed for. and my concern about this executive order is it's trying to be all tough on the border and it's not going to fix anything. and, it confuses the message about what we stand for. >> i think the deal is like we want to do things that actually solve the problem. to me, solving the problem is expanding the path to citizenship and for people to actually be able to be documented and follow the rules and this doesn't necessarily help us to that. >> lawrence: it's insane. >> rachel: insane fascinating battle within the democratic battle people in tough races making him do these executive actions which we all know isn't going to do anything. it's not. but, even the appearance of trying to be be tougher on the border the far left doesn't like it and they are worried it will hurt. >> lawrence: how could they be upset? he has done more to break. we are at 10 year highs. i couldn't have been. >> brian: worse. >> lawrence: more progressive when it comes to the border. and finally -- because you have got to win an election. he wants to be reelected. he is trying to at least appear like is he doing something. and then they criticize him. what more do you want him toe do to show how progressive he is. >> brian: shows you how divided that party is people like to talk about the brawling republicans and they brawl no. doubt about it. they got rid of the speaker for no reason. these guys on the left are so radical and he is so worried about them up until now. but go out and put on sunglasses and talk about what a disaster it is. can you imagine if they get in charge of the next generation. border security 33% approval. but for those people who want to feel better about the president and prospect for another four years. i recommend you don't read "time" magazine. >> lawrence: don't do it. >> brian: if they win do the do the same thing with president trump. they didn't emphasize what president trump brought up. pretty logical interesting interview the president put forward but it didn't make much headlines. one of the things he found fascinating. challenged this reporter to a fight. >> steve: can i take him. >> brian: i can take him. people say you look really old. he said same old thing where, watch me. and we do watch you. you look like you are older. he said i could do this job better than anyone else. you are looking at me. i can take you, too. fantastic. do you want to wrestle with an 80-year-old man how just want to interview for the cover of "time" magazine? i'm not really sure that's an appropriate response. >> lawrence: so the reporter that conducted that interview. >> brian: nose mow call breeshy irishman? >> lawrence: cousin down the line he decided to go on the jake tapper. >> biden brush off any concerns about his age. how did he seem to you. >> i mean, he appears very much as he appears on tv. he is older than when he started in office it's visible if you look side by side on the tape. the transcript is a good place for people to go to assess that, you know. he was -- we describe it in the piece as well sort of color description how he appeared in there not just the age of the president how he reacts. so crazy on a day-to-day basis. i think the growing concern is also this this is the next point that you are going to bring up with the "wall street journal." what is the staff doing? all these people that work in the white house that know that they are essentially running the show when the biden days are over and they will be over soon if people are crazy enough to reelect him okay we will do four years of this. there is going to be a book saying how he was in the white house. are they allowed to be analysts because they have lied for the american people for four years saying is he totally fine. he is running the show. asked tough questions. we know that's not true. >> steve: we know the staff is running the show and whoever puts the stuff in the teleprompter. >> rachel: obama and israeli jarrett are running the show. we all know that. >> steve: very telling that "time" magazine did this piece on him revealed more like what he is like. at 9:00 last night, the "wall street journal" came out with a blockbuster that talked about and the headline is behind closed doors. >> lawrence: a great piece. >> steve: biden shows signs of slipping. the 81-year-old president performed poorly at times. the white house biden is sharp and critics are playing politics. here is what they did. they talked to 45 people who were republicans, democrats, lawmakers, and staff members and talked to them about what do you think about joe biden these days? and they described a president who speaks so softly that people just a few feet away from him can't hear him and can't understand him. he is always reading from notes. we understand that but, at one point in the meeting with a whole bunch of top washington insiders. he paused for an extended period and closed his eyes for so long that some people thought is he asleep? has he tuned out? and so apparently a number of the democrats who talked to "time" magazine then called the white house and said hey, we just talked to the people from "wall street journal." and the white house would say okay, what did they ask? and then the white house would have the lawmakers and the democrats call the white house back. >> lawrence: of course. >> steve: essentially do some spinning you know what? yes i said that keep in mind he is sharp as a tack. the "wall street journal" thing have you got read is he not sharp as a tack. it's terrifying how much he has lost in the last couple years. >> rachel: this is exactly why president trump has said i want a drug test before the debate. because people are wondering how is he going to make it through that debate. >> brian: they say he has good days and bad days. i also think it's interesting, too. you go to core inflation is up 20% since you have been here. he talked about -- i'm the best president ever, basically. he said look at all -- i got $368 million to spend on the environment. i got trillions here. trillions there. well, inflation is up 20%. corporate greed. corporate greed and gouging is the reason. so this was the most substantive. you can't brag about spending trillions of dollars at the same time blame corporations for jacking up the price on people's lives. i look at james clyburn, is he 84 years old. they are asking him to go around the country as a surrogate for trump. it's nothing to do with age. i watched ben cardin. >> steve: that would be a better show. >> brian: i watched ben cardin a couple weeks ago he is older than biden. fantastic. he is walking right. is he retiring. nobody could say he has an age. it's joe biden's age not the age. >> lawrence: martha mccallum is overseas with the greatest generation. they are doing all these tours. they are talking about their experience. they're lively. some people that are on these tours are on hospice care, but they want this experience. >> steve: once in a lifetime. >> lawrence: the president gets over there and calls a lid. you got these elderly gentleman. you think the president would be hosting sitdowns with them, doing dinner with them. pass at any time. our commander-in-chief that's how he calls strength calling a lid. >> rachel: he need his nap time. >> steve: he does. we all do. ainsley is off today and in her place glad to have you. >> brian: is that why you are here? i had no idea. >> rachel: i'm here to read the headlines. so we are going to turn to those headlines right now beginning with a fox news alert. at least three gunman attack a embassy. leading to half hour long gun fight. one of the shooters was killed and another gunman, a syrian national was shot and captured. a third is still on the loose. the u.s. embassy in beirut posting to social media saying that their team is safe and investigations are underway alongside lebanese law enforcement. florida deputies getting into a car chase after a wanted fugitive speeds off during a routine traffic stop. >> it's saying you have a warrant out of sit truss county. >> stop me. >> i am you watch the description of a wanted fugitive. >> okay. i'm not wanted. >> don't you drive off. don't you do it. don't you do it. >> rachel: police taking the suspect into custody after 20-mile chase near jacksonville. one one officer hurt during the arrest. gun stolen. wanted in court for drug possession. a brooklyn man accused of teaming up with disgraced former nba player john at a porter in a sports betting scheme has been arrested. porter's coconspirators were arrested trying to flee to australia with a one-way ticket. that man and several others are accused of placing bets on porter's performance after port we're inform him he would be leaving the game early. porter was banned for life nba for his role in that results of latest round of primary elections. trump backed navy seal tim sheehy cruising montana senate crime marry. is he gearing up to take on three term democrat senator jon tester. in a race that could determine the balance of power in the upper chamber. and in new jersey, kurdish bash shaw defeating trumped back christine glassner for the republican senate nomination. ba shaw will take on the democrat nominee andy kim as well as disgraced incumbent senator bob menendez who is now running as an independent while on trial for alleged corruption. and a troubling sign for hind as a large number of democrats are voting uncommitted. 9% voted uncommitted in new jersey and 10% in new mexico. and those are your headlines. >> steve: hard to believe the primary is still going on. >> rachel: i know, right. >> steve: going to do some voting in guam on saturday and then that's it. >> brian: i'm going to be covering that live. >> rachel: that's a nail-biter. >> brian: i'm going to be leaving after the show. there is a huge diner there. i'm going to be at a diner in guam. [laughter] >> rachel: i'm actually vouching. i want you to go. but i would watch. >> brian: take me three days. >> lawrence: i'm sure he has room on his jet. >> brian: while i head off to guam, why don't we toss over to carley. >> carley: i got some crazy stories out of california for you this morning starting with a new bill that's being pushed by california democrats, which would mandate illegal immigrants be hired for taxpayer funded state jobs. reform california chairman karl d
