The Story With Martha MacCallum : FOXNEWSW : June 17, 2024 12:00pm-1:00pm PDT : Free Borrow & Streaming : Internet Archive (2024)

>> alright john another rocking afternoon to kick off the week. >> martha: >> john: i love the segment but call and he really got to live his dream maybe he'll be back out there again. >> sandradjoining as everybody m sandra smith. >> john: i and john's -- john roberts we will see you tomorrow. in the meantime the story with martha begins now. >> martha: alright thank you guys good afternoon everyone i

am martha maccallum in new york this is the story. monitoring the white house briefing after reports president biden is set to announce a massive relief program for undocumented immigrants. it would be the largest such program in over a decade and would offer hundreds of thousands legal status if they had been married to an american citizen for at least 10 years. the move would come less than 5 months from the presidential election and days before the very consequential upcoming jun. at a time when the current president is bleeding support from latino voters." voting block he says he needs for victory. >> i need you, i need you badly. desperately need you're help because, look there are only 6 or 7 states that will turn down this election that her tossup states this is 1 of them. >> the president desperate for those votes by his own admission there. jason, tommy lan mike pompeo all

on the story today but first let's go to first national correspondent bill hello. >> reporter: martha hackett afternoon to you. as we wait to hear what the president is going to announce we just got our hands on some brand-new internal ice data that shows really how overwhelmed the agency is as old. take a look at the data provided by federal sources. it shows the nondetained docket, in other words people released into the country after -- it's exploded to 7.4 million cases in fiscal year 2024. it's expected to hit 8 million by the end of the year. the cases of more than doubled since trump's years in office. we are told 1 million cases have been added since october 1st alone largely because of massive catch and release at the southern border. ice is buried. take a look at the second graphic for perspective.

telling fox news right now each officer currently has to have averaged manage 7000 cases each. 7000 each that's an impossible task given their current staff levels. former acting director tom holman says the horse left the barn a long time ago. a lot of these people aren't going anywhere. take a listen. >> court hearings out 8 to 10 years by the time you get it they've built equities and all the sub 1 no -- all of a sudden no 1 wants to remove them. this is a long-term pentium the station knows what they are doing. >> martha numbers do not include the nearly 1.9 million known got always at our southern border the last few years. the bottom line is ice says they need more manpower and need it fast. >> martha: no kidding. bill astonishing numbers, thank you very much. here is the white house on calls

to use national emergency authority at the border just moments ago. wash. >> the president has taken executive action he believes is warranted but what's really needed at the border, everyone can talk a good game but you can't really change what's happening at the border unless you have legislation. >> martha: okay with that let's bring in our panel tommy blair and host of tommy learns fearless ron williams senior for little analyst great to have all of you. let me start with you ron these numbers are problematic. for this president. he says he is desperate for the hispanic vote. you saw the numbers that were just laid out and i remembered jay johnson saying a fraction of this would just be unsustainable. so where is the president on this now? >> i think it is pretty clear he is trying to speak to the issue.

it was only 2 weeks ago that chuck schumer the senate majority leader a democrat brought for a second time a bipartisan bill to try to deal with the border for a vote. again what happened was a republican said no largely at the instruction of former president trump who wants the issue and keeps document -- >> martha: but the issues -- hold on. it's been around since president biden took office and may arc us by his own accounts was boasting about the fact we are going to turn over every single rule and law and legislation that was under trump and this is what has happen. so it's tough to blame republicans when that was the day 1 agenda for the current president at the numbers have exploded under his watch is quickly if you can i want you reaction to that though. >> sure martha. we had a problem at the border way back, even before trump i think we had spikes et cetera

but what you have to keep in mind is nobody at the moment given the political season is focused on solutions. legislation that would say more border agents and more judges in those immigration courts and the ability to shut the border right now there is a spike. that was all in the legislation turned down by republicans. >> martha: we've got to stop it coming across. look at this polling tommy this is arizona. looking at some of these swing states. arizona and nevada. trump versus biden in the latest head-to-head shows biden and arizona 53 and trump 45. nevada biden 51 trump 44. but these are states he won buy almost twice as much as he is ahead in them now. what is your assessment tommy? >> i will tell you this,

hispanic voters being taken advantage of 5 think by the democrat party. you heard president joe biden say i need you're vote and what he is doing is dangling the carrot for more illegal immigrants to come into the country expecting them to be excited about it. as being to married -- as being married to someone who can from cuba, otherwise they don't want to see this 1 of the border. they don't want to see people breaking immigration law. they don't want to see people paying criminal organizations to get into this country when they paid to do it the right way at a cost a lot of money to do so. to just assume hispanic voters in this country are going to be wooed by yet another pathway to citizenship or a legal status tingling the carrot in front of undocumented or illegal immigrant strict what's the cutoff point for rob wickens? 50 and beyond? they are not focused on current poker -- voters they are focused on future voters. that should be so insulting to

not only illegal immigrants but -- legal immigrants but also american citizens. >> martha: this idea that we will hear more about that you've been married to an american citizen 10 years you will have an accelerated pathway if indeed this is what we hear from the current president. >> there is nothing that he's doing to actually solve the problem. i was on the immigration subcommittee when i was on judiciary. women for the democrats for 3 years they have told us the border was safe and it was secure and under operational control. they are not enforcing the current law. the current law says if you come in between the ports of entry you will be detained and imported. instead dated night's executive orders to loosen up the border bringing in. to do another executive order them blame republicans for not passing legislation and having it repeated, that is not the answer. they have to enforce the current law. you cannot just import more wars

are so -- pursued voting for lots of places. right it -- what a coincidence right before an election. >> martha: looks like it wouldn't currently allow these people to vote but it is pretty clear that it's probably the path all of this is on. great to have all of you, and you are much. >> thank you spent think martha. >> martha: speaking of these horrific issues that plagued the country, a shocking murder of a mother of 5, maryland mom rachel moran was out for a hike when she was attacked and murdered. police say her killer came across the open saloon border in fact 3 times over the course of 3 months per hughes fleeing homicide charges in his home country of el salvador. then it will say he did it here may be toys. attorney ralph rice next.

tragic story a mother of 5 raped and killed on a hiking trail that she grew up going tuned in maryland. investigators say the suspect is a migrant illegally here and wanted for another murder in el salvador. he crossed the border illegally last year a couple times it appears. i will speak with randolph rice attorney for the family of rachel moran the mom killed 10 months ago but first to david

scott reporting live from washington. hello david. >> hi martha a sad story police never gave up on finding rachel moran's killer. her family was living in fear this person may attack again she died last august, please say the suspect as you mention killed a woman and el salvador before crossing our southern border early this -- last year. she was 37 years old, she had 5 kids. last august shoes found dead along the popular outdoor running trail 30 miles northeast of baltimore en route to the delaware state border. police say she was raped and killed and her body left for others to find a. authorities at a bar in tulsa oklahoma arrested this manner victor hernandez who is 23 years old and charged with rape and murder. as i said he is from el salvador, please say he killed a woman there before escaping to the stick. police obtained a dna match from los angeles in march 2023.

here's a surveillance video of the event. several people were assaulted and police say he is that suspect. watch. >> that dna was a big break in the investigation. working hand-in-hand we were able to on a plan of billions of people we were able to find the 1 individual, identify him and find him on a bar still setting the tulsa oklahoma and bring him into custody. >> he is expected to face extradition coming from oklahoma to maryland in the coming weeks if convicted he could spend the rest of his wife behind bars martha. >> martha: 1 thing for sure good police work and they did not give a. thank you david. randall phrase joins me the attorney for rachel moran's family. good to have you randolph. this is a terrible tragedy these 5 children no longer have their mother and her mother's grieving her loss. here's patty who you are present at this news conference when the

police announced they had found this guy and a bar and taken him into custody. let's watch. >> at 1 point when things seemed really bleak and hopeless the lead detective said to me patients will win in the end. and that's what they've been doing. they've been the gently working very hard and they've been patiently working through all of the leads and business -- is because of that we have interest today. >> martha: good to have you with this randolph. explained to me the reaction now the family now that all this. [ singing ] that this person who had no legal right to be in this country and was wanted for murder and el salvador somehow got past the so-called leading system at all border were obviously officials are overwhelmed. >> that's right and i'm not sure if he got past them or crossed

at a point where they were unable to fat him adult. it's clear at this point. but here are some other good news within the past 10 minutes that defendant has weighed extradition which means he'll be back in maryland the next couple weeks which is good news for the prosecution in maryland so we can start to seize the wheels moving here. it's going to be a long process but it is good news they don't have to wait 60 more days friend to fight extradition in oklahoma. >> martha: the sheriff in this case came across hard against the administration basically saying if it were for these failures she would be alive. he said under the trump administration obviously he is a supporter that it was a much better situation. here's the current governor of maryland who is obviously very concerned about this case. watch. >> the sheriff is absolutely right. we have an immigration policy they needed to been dealt with and was not. this is why this is so

unbelievably frustrating. when you have a coalition that is a bipartisan coalition about democrats and republicans back at literally right up to the line to be able to get a deal done that because you had president trump who said this was not advantageous politically that the deal was killed. >> martha: he reaction to the and also what comes next legally for this individual? >> certainly and this is an american problem as well as broke weekend and democratic peer we have americans dying -- republican -- the next step is he is extradited and a bail review and ultimately we all assume he will have his bail denied and some lawyer we'll probably appear and they will start the process of setting trial dates. it's going to be a long road and we are certainly hopeful he takes a plea because it will be shorter for the family at the trial would certainly drag it out for them it would be a lot harder to see. >> martha: this individual

never should have been here and she should still be alive. that much we know. our best to the family as they deal with their grief and all of their loss randolph, thank you very much representing them. >> thank you martha and take you to the law enforcement they did a great job. >> martha: persistence was so important they did not give up on this pick thank you randolph good to have you with us. >> thank you e support for president biden among black voters is also taking a very big jibe. hispanic and black voters are really a focus in all this as former president donald trump is slowly gaining with these groups at this stage in a raise. karl rove next. >> holy cow folks look at this job item was up 80 points among this group back at this point and look at where the merchant has gotten down to. it is now just get this 37 points i'm speechless because

you always look at history and you say this is an historic moment. if this polling is anywhere near correct we are looking at historic moment right now where black voters under 50 which have historically been such a big part of the democratic coalition are leaving it in droves

brand-new reaction from the white house from this video from president biden in la over the

weekend. former president obama didn't -- obama put his hand over top of his hand and lead them across the stage his hand on his back. here moments ago a response getting a lot of attention today. >> let's not forget president obama at president biden have a relationship, they are friends and they are like family to each other. i think that's what you saw. you saw the president put his hand on the back of president biden and they walked offstage. >> a senior obama advisor also disputing reports president biden appeared to freeze onstage saying quote this did not happen. president biden apparently losing support among black voters in 2 important battleground states. look at these numbers. down almost 40 points in michigan in the essay today the pool compared to 2020.

from our voter analysis and facing a similar plunge in pennsylvania. former president donald trump gaining ground in both of these states. the majority still say they will vote for president biden but it's a very steep turn in terms of where this is gone. 's trick shot no chaser podcast good to have both of you with us. a lot of attention this video appears to show president obama leading president biden off the stage. how much should this concern people or not? >> what concerns me is why i'm here today is to talk about michigan. i won't speak for all black voters but i can certainly tell you by being vehemently black staffer in 2015 it does not take

a lot of voters to like president trump. -- former president trump. it really takes 1 or 2%. we flipped that state by 2% co into all the places hillary clinton refused to go. this week and alone i don't know president obama is holding his hand or his back but what i know is someone better get to michigan with a checkbook and head with no ious. this is article these swing states are looked out at that have to like president trump. they didn't like bernie sanders to be honest with you but it only takes a small margin to make a difference that's what i'm concerned about ms with the majority of people are saying i don't like trump or biden but they cannot afford to ignore this crucial demographic. >> a big warning obviously for you knowing michigan very well. sort of anecdotally a detroit grappler had to say this about voting in 2024 in michigan. watch. >> i don't agree with everything

about president trump i don't agree with everything on hundred% everything does every -- every thing anybody does. i'm voting a personal experience. i've experienced them both as president and i like trump as president more. >> that from detroit. crawl you're thoughts and all this. >> well, it's even more than -- it's even worse then the pole right up says. is said 66.2% of blacks and has all they knew today's support donald trump and they said it's 20 points down from the percentage they are member voting for. what this means is 92% of blacks in pennsylvania voted for it biden over trump. thank about that 1 out of every 6 black voters in pennsylvania who supported biden in 2020 don't even remember having supported him. same as in michigan. 54-point forward% of blacks say they are for biden today. again the right up to the pole

said it is 20% less then pole who voted for him in 2020. no, 22% of the 12% of the electorate in michigan who are black footed for joe biden which means 1 nearly out of every 5, 18% of the blacks who voted for joe biden in 2020 in michigan no longer even remember they voted for him. that is a big problem. >> let's play this from cnn's jake tapper talking about the fact that in several important places in senate races as well the democrat senator is outperforming how biden is pulling. i'd love to get you're thoughts on the other side. >> senator tammy baldwin up 9 points in wisconsin biden only up 2 points. he is down 3 arizona congressman rubin running for senate op 4, biden down 7. jackie wilson up 2 and nevada.

how can you look at this statistic and not conclude joe biden is a drag on the ticket? >> what do you say to that? >> i'm saying this and think i've set for the last 10 plus years they've been told this repeatedly it's disgusting to keep saying over and over that you cannot continue to ignore these voters. michigan is in trouble not just read black voters but organizing 100,000 google to go to the polls to say they are not committing to either once. that's an issue. it's an issue with college students and the unions on strike let's not forget all last year. in all these 7 swing states all the issues, people come up all they want to about wrappers and let me give you some breaking news he is externally popular in detroit. so when you got someone like that who says pay attention and look at what i'm talking about and you just getting 1 or 2%

difference it could make a difference. i'm independent martha want to make it clear i am not a democrat or republican. but joe biden administration cannot afford to sit on their butt and say is not a game and not invest the time, money resources -- >> martha: can he sell it and black media creek can he get himself into a better position by making those appearances? he doesn't always do well in those appearances. >> yes, and guess what we are done with the appearances. bring the checkbook the ious no logo matter. all they can at this is the better start cutting some checks. >> for who so we're clear? >> any and anybody nonprofits across the bore making sure people have adequate funding and getting in partnering with city commissioners to make sure people have the money he owed the black community and do something about using his

executive order as he stood next to joe floyd's but there. standing hastening -- singing and snapping and going along to get along is not enough. i did not support president trump i support the black community as i've always had. they need to get busy if they want those votes. >> martha: thank you both very much i hope to have you both back soon. great insight thank you very much. so, israel warns iran backed has below is terrorizing its people and nonthreatening a much wider war in the middle east. this is a very serious situation developing -- hesbollah. former secretary of state mike pompeo gets up to speed next in my office tell me about their frequent dry eyes, which may point to dry eye disease. millions of americans were estimated to have it. they've tried artificial tears again and again, but the relief is temporary. xiidra can provide lasting relief.

>> israel warning the crisis in the middle east could spread. as increasing aggression from north from iran backed hesbollah

risks a much wider war of. there is already a lot to handle with gaza between israel and hamas. here is joan kirby this moments ago. >> obviously we are concerned about this and we haven't seen hesbollah jump in. they have been of course conducting straights across the border israelis have been defending themselves against that. we don't want to see escalation or a second front. we are concerned about it. >> martha: the former secretary of state mike pompeo is standing by. on affairs correspondent in the area trait angst as well. hey très. >> reporter: hi martha good afternoon it is dated 255 with no end in sight. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has decided to dissolve the war cabinet here. we know that last week 2 out of

5 members of the cabinet actually resigned from their positions over political disagreements with the israeli leader. some far right ministers were pressuring benjamin netanyahu to take those positions which is partly why it's been dissolved. their disagreements with which direction the worship of. daily humanitarian pauses were announced in southern gaza to allow for more aid to enter the enclave. the decision immediate lead to condemnation from the is really prime minister who called it unacceptable. there is a massive backlog of aid in gaza yet to be distributed. something this will help to adjust. this week and was the deadliest or is elite forces in months. 12 soldiers were killed in recent days with outed them in a single incident when a suspected antitank missile struck their snow carrier -- 8. with a focus on the southern fund the israeli military remains on high alert in the north and add new attacks from the militant group hezbollah. >> hezbollah's increasing

aggression is bringing us to the brink of what could be a whiter escalation, 1 that could have devastating consequences for lebanon and the entire region. >> and israeli defence official told fox news this weekend diplomatic efforts are ongoing to diapered a larger war with hezbollah but time is running out. martha. >> martha: thank you very much. with that we bring a former secretary of state and cia director mike pompeo fox news contributor could to have you with this as always. what do you think here? how big a threat is this from hezbollah? let's put up on the board what they have, we think 100,000 fighters 150,000 rockets and missiles. $700 million a year from iran and 20,000 active personnel. 13 out of 128 seats held in the lebanese parliament. yuri argent what's going wrong? >> yes martha you and i talked about this and i've been talking about it from one's. every own is focused on gaza

which is fair enough. israelis need to be completing the mission such a total decimation for some -- hamas. but until it begins to hold iran accountable the centre of this we talked about 8 months ago, until you go to the place causal -- causing all of this trouble and all of this murder and terror again you will continue to see it. whether it's the precision guided munitions pack -- these are runs from gusset they can pick a target, house and struck a facility. aerial complex high-end precision guided missions. until you begin to impose on iran, the persian gulf and the red sea or malicious -- you are going to continue sissy western and american interests at threat. dave sibley refused to do it for 8 months now martha.

>> martha: here at the point out all these different hotspots they are all connected, they all come from iran. 1 was a last time you heard present biden stand up and point to an end and say you better back down you will be sorry. we have heard nothing like that so isn't this their window to get what they want done before the election? >> i certainly think that this is the window the iranians think they can use to exploit and harm american interest, no doubt. you can see what is taking place today with 8 israeli soldiers coldly fed over a thousand killed because -- we have cost -- frankly until january when a new president might take office. window stood for 4 years we didn't get a rate every day but we understood deeply that the greatest state sponsor terry noel is the rushing iran you have to promise them and impose costs on them. absent that you get exactly the

chaos we see in the middle east today and the gulf states are going to hedge their bets if the u.s. also from helping israel defeat these terrorists. >> martha: absolutely. nbc growing ties between russia china and iran and patent going to north korea next week. this is a very troublesome set of issues. thank you so much always good to see you. >> thank you martha yet men have a good day. >> martha: he was well. a shocking move by the u.s. government they have essentially slapped a warning label on social media. can they crack down on it as they eventually did fairly successfully with cigarettes? hi, i'm greg. i live in bloomington, illinois. i'm not an actor. i'm just a regular person. some people say, "why should i take prevagen? i don't have a problem with my memory." memory loss is, is not something that occurs overnight. i started noticing subtle lapses in memory. i want people to know that prevagen has worked for me. it's helped my memory.

right now acing federal charges for blowing the whistle

on gender affirming care for kids the doctor says hospital in texas allied about ending the treatments there after the state's attorney general said the could be considered child abuse in a foyer reporting live from houston. hello nate. >> hey martha. the arraignment not -- finished 20 minutes ago and he pleaded not guilty to charges related to -- his trial date -- he alleges he was protecting children while exposing a secret and illegal transgender medical unit at texas children's hospital for kids under 18 whereas prosecutors argue the way he did it is illegal. the u.s. attorney's office for the southern district of texas provided the statement saying "the indictment alleges he obtained unauthorized access to personal information of pediatric patients unders false

pretenses and later disclosed to media contact. dr herman released redacted records claiming to show that secret unit at ted 6 -- texas children's hospital. attorneys now responding to the accusations telling fox news it appears that the government has its facts wrong. they misunderstand the situation and it's unclear if they understand how it works. our client will have his day in court and we are going to fight these charges. fox news reached out to texas children's hospital so far we've not heard back. it's illegal in texas for doctors to provide medicine and surgery for a child's gender transition. the next court appearance we'll be july aids and ben & jerry's selection in his trial will begin august 20th. martha. >> martha: okay nate thank you very much. it's a big story today the surgeon general says social media is dangerous for the health of kids and it needs a warning label like the surgeon general's slapped on cigarettes
