Ains Good Morning to you, 7 00 a. M. On the East Coast. Thursday, october 3rd. This is Fox Friends. Dock workers on the Picket Lines for the third straight day. The big problems could be coming to Grocery Stores and gas stations. Lawrence plus, families picking up what is left after helene as dhs warns fema doesnt have enough money to last through Hurricane Season. But what about the millions this administration has spent on the Migrant Crisis . Steve good question. Meanwhile, parents turning in their own children to the cops after seeing their kids in Security Footage of flash mobs. Hey, thats my kid. Im taking them to the police. And they did. Ainsley its hard to do i would imagine. But the right thing to do. All right. The second hour of Fox Friends starts right now. Ainsley it is day three of the dock Workers Strike and union members are vowing to stay on the Picket Line 24 7 until they get a new contract. Steve businesses worry that the strike is going to crush their livelihoods as concerns grow about Price Hikes and shortages. Lawrence Alexis Mcadams at the red hood terminal Sea Port in New York. What is happening on the ground . Looks like a lot of motorcycles. Steve somebody is taking off. It was quiet like 30 seconds ago but, of course, when im about to talk to you guys there is a Motorcycle Brigade coming flew brooklyn. Can you see behind me here in brooklyn and specifically in this port terminal red hook. People out here 24 hours a day seaing they are not going to go back on the job no matter what, until they go back to the table to gets more money and no automation, listen. I mean, we way behind, way behind the quurve onwith inflation. Thats why we are on Strike Today because demanding their fair share. They want to receive receive their fair share of the work. Industry. The strike is happening at ports across the country, we are on day three from New York, New Jersey, florida, and even texas. Automation as you heard. So the international longshoremens association, which represents 45,000 Dock Workers across the East Coast and the gulf saying that they want a nearly 80 raise in wages over the next six year contract deal. They say they worked so hard during the Pandemic Frontline workers and want that payment. According to the demands more Money And Promise that their jobs will not be taking over by automation. They want more than 5 yearly wage increase, saying the members dont work typical 9 to 5 jobs. They work extraordinary hours and sacrifice time with their families, so the disruption and the Supply Chain is blunting, 100,000 Shipping Containers full of perishable items that should be on their way to stores and people across the country are just being stored at ports in New York and New Jersey now. 35 ships will arrive over the next week and those will just be anchored offshore. Another live look out here in brooklyn. Can you see what is going on here. They have automations. Ila demands Job Security and thats exactly what they tell me this is about, guys, they tell me they worked years and decades. Part of their livelihood for their families. They dont want their jobs to be taken away by machines, which is understandable. Some of them want to get back to the table. One last thing to mention here in a broad spectrum and we are looking at politics, right . Just days away now from the election. Vice president Kamala Harris has endorsed the dock Workers Strike that the Union Bosses we have seen out in New Jersey saying he will do anything to get back to the table. But if that means crippling the economy, he will do that, too. Steve well, alexis, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris both stand with the workers as it turns out. So, im sure they feel emboldened. You know, whoever is going to be president next time is on our side. But, at the same time, they know that you cant stop the March Of Time and Technology And Everything is automating to extent. Even got automation in current contract. We say no automation but we will take this much of it . A couple of The Union reps, the ones that are allowed to talk to the media behind me, they be note allowed to. Some people i did talk to though on the last 24 hours, not so much about the money. They said theyre not making tons anyway. But its about automation. They didnt say that they would pivot on it or move at all. They were pretty upset they look back to the strike on the West Coast not too long ago and obviously went back to work on the West Coast. They said they did not like how they signed and automation. In at this point they dont want those jobs to go to machines. Thats their main Sticking Point that you said. Thats kind of what happens with the future. Lawrence so, alexis, normally when we cover strikes and there seems to be a disconnect between the Union Bosses and the actual workers sometimes. The Union Boss want the Negotiation Tools and all that and The Union workers just follow right behind, but it sounds like this was a real strike. These employees believe what the Union Boss is saying. Right . Yeah. When i asked him about that because as you saw all the reporting where they are showing the Union Boss, Daggetts House in New Jersey the guy lives in a mansion. Talk about remember Mtv Cribs that would have been all over it. Massive, beautiful home. A Pizza Oven out there. A Bentley Convertible parked in the front. I asked you guys are out here standing 24 hours a day. Your Bottom Line is going to be effected. Its you also hit with inflation and bigger prices at the Grocery Store and i said your Union Boss has all this money he said thats what happens. Everyone who is important they named president Joe Biden and named President Trump. They all have money and nice things, too. Thats the way it is. So we will see what happens. They are the ones that, you know, they could end up losing their job possibly, right . We will see what plays out here. How long they can do this. They want to get back to work and they do work really hard, right . Like ainsley said earlier, they are blue collar workers. They work around the clock. During the pandemic they kept everything moving. Ainsley yeah. We are grateful to them. So i think they will definitely have to get something. They have to get their way in some capacity because we cant continue this. If this goes on week after week after week. Americans are going to be frustrated because it will trickle down to all the families not just the people who work for these companies. Thank you so much. Lawrence thanks, alex isis. Steve so it all comes down to the Supply Chain. We were talking an hour ago. You dont have to worry about Toilet Paper because it is from the United States or, you know, mexico or canada. They can ship it in Via Rail or truck. Bananas 100 percent of the worlds bananas come into the United States from other countries. So you got to worry about that. We had a guy who knows so much about the Supply Chain. Jim nelles about an hour ago. Here is the impact he observed on day three. I think this is very shortsighted on the part of Harold Daggett the president of the ila. He should be negotiating with these carriers say lets automate together. Automate in a way that makes sense. This is going to impacted a lot of people. I think its a major miscalculation instead of getting The American people to support the Dock Workers, again we should all support people making a fair wage, its going to turn americans against them. Especially as we start to see problems with people getting the things that they need to recover from the hurricane. Lawrence im with ainsley, how long can we survive something like this . You know, The American public is sympathetic to causes. They want to get increases in wages. But its only going to be a matter of time before they go to the store and they cant get certain products. And then thats where the real pressure is going to come. I dont think its gonna look very well for the workers asking for 80 increase with people are going paycheck to paycheck in real day america, too. Ainsley i know, i hate to say it. I think people are going to start Christmas Shopping early. Because, if you have children, its important for them to have a christmas. Steve everybody knew the strike was a possibility. So the big stores stocked up. Youre not going to run out of toys, they say. You are not going to run out of imported Christmas Trees and stuff like that. Ainsley will they jack up the prices . Steve maybe. The way we operate is supply and demand. But, ultimately, how much confidence does that show that the shippers had in the administration or the Labor Union coming to some sort of snappy and quick result. Its only day three. Lets hope they wrap it up. And everybody is happy. Ainsley all right. The dock Workers Strike is just one of three major crises. The Biden Harris Administration is facing. There is also the severe damage after helene. The escalating conflict in the Middle East. Steve meanwhile, our current president , Joe Biden, spent 16 days in the last two months in that chair i think its a Tommy Bahama Chair at the beach in rehoboth beach, delaware. Lawrence how lovely. Mark meredith is live at the White House. Mark . Lawrence, ainsley and steve. Good morning, friends. Later today, President Biden is set to return to the south. Is he going to be touring the Hurricane Damage left behind from hurricane helene. He will be in South Georgia and comes just one day after the president was in the carolinas. The president getting a firsthand look at some of the devastation while the federal Emergency Management Agency says it doesnt know how much money its going to need to clean up this damage. Also, it doesnt know if its going to have enough money to make it through the Hurricane Season which stretches on until The End of november. Dhs officials say they dont know how much money they are going to ask congress for. Biden critics say they are amazed that the president is making the trip while accusing him of being missing in action as helene hit. Our latest count shows the President Spending a lot of time away from washington. And this is not a you this trend. Biden has raised eyebrows before for constant travels away from washington. When President Trump was in office he too was regularly criticized for visiting florida and New Jersey on a regular basis. This week, though, the president rejected the idea that he was asleep at the wheel. Mr. President, why werent you and Vice President harris here in Washington Commanding in this weekend . I was commanding. I was on the phone at least two Hours Yesterday and the day before as well. I command. Its called a telephone. There is an oped On Fox right now from David Marcus who writes in a normal world Joe Biden would have stepped down by now and be free to lay On The Beach in delaware all day, which he does anyway. But these are not normal times so, until january 20th, the best we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best. Vice president harris, she, too, was touring the Disapser Damage on wednesday but today she returns to the Campaign Trail with an event this evening in wisconsin. Steve, Lawrence And Ainsley . Hey, mark. So the president snapped at that reporter who asked about, you know, you feel bad about not being here for that crisis . And another time he said well, i was only 90 miles away. 90 miles is how far cuba is from florida. So, you know, that puts it in perspective. That is kind of a long way. Steve, just yesterday on the Air Force one trip down. Mayorkas the Dhs Secretary was asked the reason you are are going down to the carolinas now because former President Trump went down there i believe it was on monday he went down there and dhs said no, thats not the case at all. We are focused on disaster recovery. The White House has pushed back on the idea that this was disaster tourism. Instead they wanted to make sure that they had the resources to protected security for the president but also not take away Law Enforcement needs for the folks that are down there. Obviously, they have got to keep looters out. Make sure that roads can be reopened. Allow trucks to get back in. So, steve, the White House pushing back quite hard on the idea that the president didnt care. But, as We Saw in that oped, critics say this is such an unusual time right now. Lawrence so interesting to me thank you, mark. They said that the current president , secret service, and the Security Protective detail its the same as Donald Trump. So if Donald Trump is going there, why cant they do the same thing . I think its awful of them to condescend the reporters like them and talk to them nasty like that saying i could just use my phone. Thats different from your presence being there. Ainsley from what im hearing on just accounts from people we have interviewed or people that have been on Social Media, i dont even know if they care if Joe Biden shows up. They want federal money. Lawrence resources. Ainsley they want resources and helicopters to go in and rescue these babies and older people trapped in their homes. So many civilians that are doing it through different organizations and nice millionaires or billionaires or whoever offering their helicopters. Brian Lawrence Larynx for those people for their own private resources. Ainsley ains they want washington to say bring in national guard or whoever can help. Lawrence bring in the cavcalfcavalry. Steve as you look at asheville can you tell its going to be a lot of money. Heres the problem. The federal Emergency Management Agency apparently does not have enough money if there is another storm. Secretary mayorkas said this yesterday. Fema does not have the funds to make it through the Hurricane Season. Heres the problem. The Hurricane Season runs through the last day of november. They are expecting another hurricane. But they dont have enough money and, in fact, Speaker Johnson with us yesterday and he was talking a little bit about, you know, its all about priorities. If we need more money we have to change things around. They should change things around at the department of Homeland Security that mayorkas is in charge of because they have got millions and millions and millions of dollars, not going towards americans, but going toward processing people who are in this country illegally. Ainsley well, i mean, its. Steve look at that number. That would help with a lot of floods. Lawrence now we are up to 640. Ainsley that money should go toward american families who have lost everything. Lawrence unbelievable. If you are going to have the policy of keeping the border wide open, you know you are going to have to spend more money for processing and migrant shelters and feeding those kids come across the border. You said it was okay for the parents to come across the border. We knew there was going to be some sort of deficit with the surge of migrants coming across the border. It looks like the administration calculate that with the request from congress. And now they dont have enough known in the middle of a crisis. Its pretty sad. Steve the president and Vice President mayorkas should announce a pause. Were going to have a pause on all the people coming into the country illegally and processing them and were going to reprogram that money to take care of the people here in the United States but, a couple of reports came out yesterday, and they are very damning. One of them was from the department of Homeland Securitys Inspector General. And this should scare everybody. They said that cbp, ice, and tsa did not fully assess the risks associated with releasing noncitizens into the United States in particular, think about this. A couple of the agencies rely on people, okay, who are you . And they gave them a name. So thats going to be the name that they put on the document. Thats why Tim Walz the other day said, you know, they are traveling in the country legally. They are in the country legally because the federal government gave them that peels of paper. The problem is we according to the Inspector General at the department of Homeland Security, you Cant Trust that. And, it is of particular interest because tsa, people who get on the airplane, they dont really know who they are. They just got a piece of paper from the department of Homeland Security that says im this person. They dont know. And thats why it was quite a warning from the Inspector General yesterday. Ainsley dhs 2025 Homeland Threat Assessment says this. Over the next year, we expect some individuals with terrorism ties and some criminal actors will continue their efforts to exploit migration flows. And the complex Border Security Environment to enter the United States. Doesnt make us feel safe. Lawrence the interesting thing about this is you have to layer that report from the Inspector General to the quote that we got from dhs upset about Tony Gonzales releasing the numbers about the amount of criminals, rapists, as well as murderers that were coming across. People had criminal records. They said it was over a 40year period. As i told you guys during that period of time, its a numbers game. The more people that you have coming across the border, that are unvetted, the higher that number is going to be. And so on one hand, they want to dispute that big number and say its over a 40year period. But then you get an Inspector General reported that says, hey, just a cautionary tale here, guys. Be aware this is whats coming across the border. You just cant have it both ways. Steve the system that is in place right now, is not safe. Illustrate matily is wha
