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
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.
Too, janice parents across america forced to find ways to keep their kids away from technology. this comes as a shocking survey reveals that 44% of teens say they re anxious without their phones. next guest say too many parents are turning a blind eye to the very real dangers of screen addiction. mchale black and courtney davis are both moms of two and they join us now: this topic is at the top of so many parents lists. i believe we have fundamentally changed childhood because of the introduction of phones and screens. let s start with you mchale, how are you dealing with this especially thinking about the summertime where kids a v. a lot of time off. right. rachel: we are hoping they are outside. exactly. you know, thank you for having me on this morning. i am a volunteer in my local organization. and our initiative for this year is screen time limits. it was easy for me to implement this in my home where we have
Screen-free meals. and we encourage our children to get outside and play. my kids love to play. and they would if he this could, they would play all day outside. sometimes we have to make them come inside. we go out there with them. so i encourage parents to go outside with their children to do things with their children immelt i m a children s author so i encourage them to go outside and play. if you know. so things that they like, try to get involved with things they like doing. my children like playing sports, so i play sports with them. rachel: i love the idea of picking up a book. i think that attention spans have really shortened because of this thing. and i think a lot of kids can t sit down to read a book. and, boy, the summertime is great time for parents to read to children or just give them a
Book or sit under a tree and read a book. courtney, what are you doing to, you know, cut down on screen time and bring some balance back to your kids lives. yeah, good morning. so happy to be here. one of the things i explain to my kids, especially going into summertime is you don t become a successful highly functioning adult without starting the practices now as a child. my children are 12 and 10. they have even made the commented that they feel a little lonely that they don t have a smart phone. i said guess what? that s a great way to navigate that feeling of loneliness together now. even as adults we feel lonely. one of the things we implemented this summer is devotional time in the morning. 30 minutes to an hour of moving your body, working out. as an adult, we have to do those practices and disciplines every day to be successful. and so i have really tried to encourage my kids not only to have quiet time. not only to have time away from the screens, but also how can we replace them with positive things. rachel: right. going to build our life and build them as good human beings.
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.
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.
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
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
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
