Epidemic of Violent Crime in america. His focus, overwhelmingly and as expected is on guns. If White House Correspondent peter doocy starts us off from the north lawn, good evening. A few minutes ago, the president said he never gives up hope that congress could someday pass on Assault Weapons Ban but in the meantime he thinks there are more common sense measures that can be taken to protect crimeridden cities making the same joke twice. He doesnt think anybody needs a gun with 100 rounds of ammo unless they think a deer is wearing kevlar. We arent changing the constitution, we are enforcing it. Speak of the headlines of the president s multipoint plan are arrest firearms dealers, help former prisoners reenter the community and expandable limit opportunities for young adults. Help make sure the young people pick up a paycheck instead of criminal. Critics argue criminals are emboldened by softer sentencing standards and bail reform. The biden plan will not address the rise in murder and vicious assaults in this country. We have a lack of prosecution and weve declared war on the police and that his back firing on those who have done it. On another front, the Vice President is ready to make her first trip to the southern border. The Vice President will travel to el paso, texas, on friday. The white house said two months ago or focuses on addressing addressing the northern triangle. I havent been to europe, i dont understand the point that youre making im not discounting the importance of the border. Texas lawmakers are puzzled. The Rio Grande Valley is almost on the southern tip of texas, its 800 miles away there to give you a sense of how far they are, chicago, illinois, is closer to washington, d. C. , then el paso is to mcallen. Its unclear why the Vice President s visit in the border this week but the announcement comes just a head of the trip to the texasmexico border by former President Trump. Was it important for the white house to have her seen at the border before former President Trump has a trip there next week . We made an assessment within our government about when its an appropriate time for her to go to the border. On the same day we find out the Vice President is going to go to the border, we also find out the Bidenharris Administration sent a letter to the head of the border patrol, giving him three options. Relocate, retire, or resign. Rodney scott, the chief wrote on his facebook said hes going to stick around 60 more days in the position and then at that point, the administration will be able to put in somebody they want in the job. Bill lots of talk about later, thank you peter doocy from the white house tonight. Now for a different perspective on the crisis along the border, Alex Hogan Talks with the mayor of one community about his plans to deal with the current search. Shes reporting tonight from mcallen, texas. Along the countrys southern border, more calls for local leaders to send federal resources. The Rio Grande Valley is the busiest sector for illegal immigration. In mcallen, texas, the newly elected mayor javier via lobo said hes the first republican to take the role in 24 years. He said the city is safe but local agencies are stretched thin as crossings continue to climb and Nonessential Travel remains banned. The ones that we know that come across our bridge and affect our economy, thats something that washington said look at our economy, look at how its affecting us and look at what is going on, youre making us spend money on something we shouldnt. Customs and Border Protection agents say the extreme south texas heat is forming Human Traffickers to keep stash houses to keep smuggled migrants under the radar. Just south of the rio grande river, 19 people including 15 Innocent Bystanders were killed saturday in a gun battle between rival gangs. In many of these bordering towns, this is home. Hence Housing Thousands of migrants hoping to one to enter the u. S. Spirit asylumseekers whose claims were decided under a Trump Administration policy that forced them to wait in mexico will have a Second Chance at eligibility to enter the u. S. The Biden Administration announcing that registration began today. Any people say we are not going back to our countries. We say we dont go back. Many people are sick, others are afraid they are going to be killed. Vice president Kamala Harris will visit el paso on friday, Border Agents say apprehensions are up 267 , but right here in the Rio Grande Valley that number is even greater at more than 400 . Bill alex hogan along the border tonight come on now to our own fox poll and we put out just a moment ago. President bidens Job Approval Rate is up about a ticket, the latest number shows the president at 56 up from 54 in may. On the individual issues hes above water on covid at 64 , the economy at 51, his underwater on russia where 52 disapprove. Immigration, 54 disapprove and the same for china 39 to make 54 . Americans are extremely or very concerned about inflation, 83 in our polling. Taxes are next followed by unemployment, the deficit, and interest rates. As far as your personal financial situation, 27 of those surveyed said they are falling behind now, 56 say they are Holding Steady at about 70 say things are getting better. To talk about crime, immigration or more with Florida Republican senator marco rubio, welcome to our program and good evening to you tonight. You heard the president , the white house a moment ago clearly putting a target on illegal guns, how much will that stop the current crime wave . Guns are the instrumentality that are being used by the real target are the criminals, its the criminals who are stealing guns and selling them in the streets to one another and committing these acts of violence. What we have seen all over the country in the last few months are really things out of a hollywood movie except its real and its tragic. Shootouts on highways and i think its the inevitable consequence of when you take crazy, nonsensical ideas and get elected on them and try to implement them into policy or at least create the perception youre going to create policy based on them and the result is this and the migratory crisis on the border and other things. The idea these people have are nuts and when you elect people who have these ideas it almost encourages and incentivizes these terrible outcomes. Bill it will get worse with the summer months hes probably right about that but these strike teams are getting put together to go out to major American Cities wont be in operation for 30 days, how effective could that be . I think its better than nothing, we have to see how its structured but one of the most important things we should have done and continue to do is support local Law Enforcement. We have a major Brewing Crisis in american Law Enforcement. You see the numbers in many cities, people taking retirement, i know a number of Law Enforcement officers who are seeking now to get on the retirement pathway. They have the opportunity to retire in the state of florida, called a drop, many are forgoing that and retiring at a certain age and getting outcome of the other thing you have to keep an eye on i was on the academies. For the life of me, i dont know why how anybody can be encouraged to go in Law Enforcement given the fabric that surrounded that profession for the better part of a couple years. We have a Brewing Crisis there were i think its going to get harder and harder to keep highly trained, highly Competent Police officers on the job and get good people moving forward. Bill on the border, Kamala Harris will be in el paso on friday, what do you hope she sees there . I dont know why they chose el paso, its not the epicenter of the crisis. Thats more closer to mcallen, texas. What they are going to see is what they created, that Migratory Pressure has always been there, i dont care what rhetoric you here, i know people who have relatives in Central America and the message they got in november of last year and in january when joe biden was sworn in was theres a new administration, they are going to do everything the opposite of trump, there will be no law. Some of the first actions they took ron immigration in terms of deferring deportation of people who may have been in jail. New asylum processes, getting rid of stay in mexico policies all of this sends a message and that is its going to be easier to get in and Trafficking Networks took advantage of it. They recruited people to go on trips by telling them its going to be easier to go in, easier to stay especially if you bring a child and thats what we are getting now. Bill in 15 days, and guatemala she said the following with nbc news. Do you have any plans to visit the border . At some point we are going to the border, we have been to the border. This whole thing about the border, weve been to the border, we have been to the border. Democratic Congressman Cuellar has a Border District and said to you and the president , come. I care about whats happening on the border. Bill as you know, President Trump will be there next week, what do you think explains what took so long for them to go there . They dont want to highlight the border, its a very sensitive topic in a far radical fringe of their own base, there are people at the base of the Democratic Party who think there should be no border, people show up and we should allow them in. Vice president harris when she was running for president made the argument we shouldnt be turning people away who are arriving in the u. S. Looking for help. Any visit that highlights the crisis is going to be controversial in the base of their own party. When she went to guatemala and said do not calm, thats the opposite of what she said for months while running for president , there were people in her own party that went bonkers about that because thats not their attitude. Their attitude is it you show up you get to stay, there are people who believe in that and they are active in the Democratic Party. Bill two more topics, we asked about covid and where it came from, 60 of those surveyed said if he came from china and it was leaked from a lamp. Will the bite of the administration make sure they get to the bottom of this . I dont know if they will, i dont know if anybody can but i dont think theyre going to try, in order to try youve got to use all these friends you claim to have in europe and around the world to put pressure on china to say open up your labs because this isnt just about finding out about covid, its not just about covid. The experiments that could have led to a lab leak which is just as likely as if it was naturally transmitted those experiments are happening now on other viruses. We could have another pandemic, we could have another lab a leak of some kind of virus in the future and it could be far deadlier than covid was. Those experiments are going on now without any ethical restraints or proper security, we dont know. They are hiding it, that is what totalitarian regimes do. Its important to make it a priority, its only go to if the rest of the will joins us but you got a rally that and hes not doing it. Bill finally, val demings congresswoman from florida, she wants your job. This week she said you when things get shaky you blow like the wind. Can she when your job . Florida is always a very competitive place and we are going to run very hard. I feel good about the job weve done. I can tell you this, over the last four years, a group came out, Bipartisan Group and ran to me the most effective republican senator in congress, another group ranked me number two in leadership, one the most bipartisan senators come on my office received an award for constituent service. I named the ppp program that saved half a million Small Businesses in florida and millions of Small Business job, the va accountability act, my Foreign Policy work on china got me sanction from the chinese government, i have a record to run on, she has done nothing. Shes in congress, what does she do . She does nothing, i look forward to talking about that. Bill senator, thank you for your time, time, Marco Rubio On Capitol Hill tonight. Breaking tonight, the taliban is taking over more and more territory in afghanistan as u. S. Troops withdraw from the site of americas longest war. National security correspondent Jennifer Griffin has details tonight about that from the pentagon. More than a dozen afghan districts have fallen to the taliban and in the last 24 hours as the islamic militants see is a key road to the north of kabul that connects five provinces. The u. S. Militarys top officer testified to it today on capitol hill. It is true that the taliban are sniping at and picking off outposts, et cetera and they have seized logistics. There are 300,000 plus or minus to force, Afghanistan Army and police force and it is their job to defend their country. The Wall Street Journal reports new intelligence shows the Afghan Government could fall to the tell a within six months of the u. S. Withdrawal. Its time for President Biden to acknowledge the consequences of his decision. The u. S. Military is planning to be out of afghanistan this summer, well before the September 11th Deadline Set by President Biden. Last week the president s top brass conceded isis and al qaeda could regroup in afghanistan if the Afghan Government collapsed. It would take possibly two years for them to develop that capability. If there was a collapse of the government or dissolution of the Afghan Security forces, that risk would increase. Right now about two years or so. Like many lawmakers, Congressman Seth Moulton A former marine with four tours in iraq is concerned about the thousands of afghan interpreters. The taliban will kill them if they can. I consider them a moral imperative to take care of those that observed along our side. We are prepared to execute whatever we are directed. The u. S. Military said its withdrawal is more than 50 complete and could be done in a matter of weeks, President Biden meets with afghan president ashraf ghani at the white house on friday.
