what i think he's referring to, but i don't think he's organizing that run for anything. i think he wants to be called to service. >> yes we for news comes out about menendez for a second because again, i mean, we're talking about these two stories together because they're both running as independence. but i do want to make sure that we separate the reasons for that, right. this is joe manchin choice entirely senator menendez was basically pushed off the democratic stage by a primary because he has refused to step down in the context of these allegations. still allegations he is currently on trial the thing that i kind of wonder about menendez is, is this the first test we get of whether donald trump is the only one who can, who can overcome stuff like this because i mean, i'd be really surprised if he were to actually win a senate race, but he seems to be trying the thing that trump has successfully tried. >> yeah, i think with one end has i mean, past this pretense provided here already beat.
section 212 f of the immigration and nationality act. it blocks certain migrants from coming into the country if they're deemed, quote: detrimental to the interest of the united states. unquote. former president trump used section 212 f to impose the muslim ban, which president biden reversed in his first week in was o. needless to say the move marks a significant shift for the president. is he facing a lot of bipartisan pressure though to take stronger action on the southern border which many voters sees a one of his weakest spots. a fox news poll last month shows 64% of registered voters disapprove of his handling of border security. the white house has tried to pin the blame on republicans for tanking the senate's border bill earlier this year saying they have been looking at other options. regardless, the president's critics see this expected order as nothing more than a political stunt. it will likely be met with legal challenges. president biden will reportedly sign this order today alongside democratic mayors from southern border cities. again, we haven't seen confirmation from the white house nor is this listed on his
underestimate are under appreciate how close-knit the biden family is. i sat in countless meetings in many situations where joe biden stop the meeting and took a call from his kids it has grandkids, his sibling. i mean, he truly is somebody who puts family first and for him family supersedes all else. so it is hard for him, obviously, as a father is hard for all of them for their family member to be going through this but also don't forget. he's somebody who is balanced personal tragedy, and chat and familial challenges with the obligations of public services entire life. i mean, he lost his his first wife and his daughter in a car crash weeks after he was elected to the senate. so he i think he will remain very focused, laser-focused on his duties as president. i certainly saw him do that as he was grappling with family issues but the other thing i would say about this is this is also something i had a front row seat to in 2019 and 2020,
depth and breadth of talent in the republican party and i'm just so pleased to be part of that mix. but, whatever the future holds, i am up for it. bring it on. we need republicans in charge. >> todd: wow, that really sounds like, senator, you would be willing to give up to what amounts to a very, very senate seat for decades to come to work in the trump administration. is that what we're hearing? >> well, i have made no promises. i haven't spoken to the trump team, but i can tell you i do believe that president trump is going to be our next president, and, again, whatever we can do to right the ship. this country is so different than the country i fought for during my time in service. >> todd: you heard it here. >> thank you so much. >> carley: thank you so much. have great day. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> steve: it does start right
this is the second time he's going through allegations of this kind of second time he's going through an indictment. he survived that one. the party stood by him. he regained his chairmanship of the senate foreign relations committee at high perch for any senator. and you're seeing this happen for the second time and we'll see if he survives it mean obviously, the andy kim, the new jersey democrat who is running for the senate seat, is likely to become the democratic favorite. and there is some conversations about republicans, but new jersey has not had a republican senator and 40, 50 years. so i don't see that happening, but menendez future beyond this moment will be interesting right? we've seen a lot of people take some time off from public life after facing legal troubles or any sort of controversy and then come back stronger. but i think you're right. i think we'll see if donald trump is going to be the only political character of our time who can overcome legal battles and still get public office? yes. >> yeah.
the committee led by congressman jim jordan says garland has, quote: overseen the troubling rise in politicized prosecutions and the use of abusive lawfare tactics to target political opponents that includes cases against former president donald trump chairman jordan specifically pointing the finger at alvin bragg and embattled d.a. fani willis and special counsel jack smith. also today on capitol hill fbi director christopher wray expected to testify before a senate committee about ongoing border concerns. here is what wray told senators back in march. >> from an fbi perspective we are seeing a wide array of threats from the border. that includes everything from the drug trafficking and an awful lot of the violent crime in the united states is at the hands of gangs who are, themselves, involved in the distribution of that fentanyl. >> todd: wray will address the threat that the chinese
unless we do something. >> griff: the numbers are down, averaging about 5500. there were 5300 on sunday, 5900 on saturday. it opens one last can upon worms. if you let 2500 in, what are you doing to stop the mass release to go on notice to appear. remember the migrant that shot two two police officers. he was on release and we've seen the damage that does. >> brian: what happened yesterday, monday morning. a venezuelan immigrant shot two cops. thanks. >> lawrence: if not for the vests, those cops would be dead. the president liked that senate
campaign stump in 2014 but judge michael lost that election. two months ago it was judge michael who ruled against trump when his lawyers tried to stop judge merchan's trial from starting days before opening statements. another justice here guess mer gave thousands of dollars in campaign contributions for democrats before she took the bench. federal election commission records show the justice gave $2 thousand to senator chuck schumer's campaign in 1997. and to hillary clinton's new york city senate race. howard dean's presidential campaign in 2003 and 1700 to democratic campaign committees. last year former president trump did get some wins at this court. the appellate court ruled during a civil fraud trial with judge engoron cutting the amount of bond, lifted the gag order and allowed trump and sons continue to do business in new york. we looked but could not find any
laken riley and more. as far as law enforcement goes there is a culmination of many issues in new york. on top of the surge of crime due to illegal migrants, you also have laws that have been passed like cashless bail in this state and raise the age and less is more and the halls act. names of laws passed by the state legislature and signed into law, attacks on qualified immunity and elected officials who haven't had the backs of law enforcement. maybe will show up for a wake or a funeral and then disappear and not do anything about it. >> dana: i want to ask you about this. president biden will have this event today where he signs this executive order and we'll pay attention and cover it. there are four people in particular who are not attending today's event. they are vulnerable senate democrats running for statewide office running for re-election. tester, baldwin, roseen, casey, all those swing states. in a few minutes bill hemmer
will show our audience this incredible research we have about where people are landing policy-wise. immigration is a big vulnerability for president biden. give you the final word whether you think the executive order today can turn to tide for anyone or if it's telling that those four senate democrats are not going to today's event. they don't want to be seen there. >> right, it is not enough, dana. you aren't seeing an effort to bring back remain in mexico or catch and release. there are day one policies of president biden that quite frankly he is proud of. a new article that is now "time" magazine where president biden was asked another of your first acts as president under the banner of value-based leadership was to lift certain trump-era immigration efforts that you said were inhumane. do you think those moves helped drive record illegal border crossing. president biden says no. were you wrong to lift any of
