Summary

The surge at the southern border continues to get worse, as border sources tell FOX News they surpassed the number of migrant encounters from last year with nearly 2.4 million people. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisles are pointing blame and telling each other to act. Former Senior Law Enforcement Advisor to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, Charles Marino joins to discuss what's fueling the crisis, why he believes the cartels have never been more powerful than ever under the Biden administration, and shares why the country needs to gain operational control of the southern border before prioritizing immigration reform. Senate Democrats are overwhelmingly calling for the resignation of New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez following his latest indictment alleging he took bribes from the Egyptian government. FOX News Contributor and Attorney Sol Wisenberg joins to discuss the legal implications of the charges against Senator Menendez, and how strong of a case the government has. Plus, Sol Wisenberg, who was deputy independent counsel in the investigation that led to the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton in 1999, weighs in on the impeachment inquiry of President Biden.
