(♪) >> texas sending in the reinforcements to beef up security at our southern border. the state deploring even more state guardsmen to help handle the surge.

border patrol agents there say they are overwhelmed with the relentless flood of migrants arriving daily as the state showdown with the biden administration makes its way through the courts. hello everyone. happy easter. welcome to a brand-new hour of fox news live. i am jonathan. arthel: hello. happy easter. there mission to stop this sort of thing from happening again. it is a wild scene caught on camera. a large group of migrants reached the barrier at one of the checkpoints and trampled across the razor wire and knockdown the soldiers protecting the border. they report nearly 120,000 migrant encounters in the el paso center alone since october 1. that is a huge concern there and elsewhere along the border. >> we don't know who most of

these people are. 4.9 million people have been released in this country by the biden administration. 1.9 known god always. that is over 7 million. we do not know who they are. >> correspondent casey is back on the story in el paso today. hey, casey. >> good to be with you. happy easter. it's been a busy holiday weekend out here for border patrol agents. we have seen two large groups illegally cross into the united states and surrender to federal agents. this morning about 95 migrants including single adults and also family units came into el paso from war red spirit they were loaded up in advance and a bus. 150 in size came through at the same spot.

gate 36 where most of the action seems to be in this sector. once again, a mix of people. this as additional national guard troops. 1200 have been searched to this one sector alone in the last two weeks and thousands of troops from at least one dozen other states are out here on the front lines including some who just arrived from indiana. >> once again if the federal government active on the border -- >> over in eagle pass this morning the drone capturing these images, about nine migrants across the rio grande river and then walked right along the shoreline on the u.s. side next to the razor wire in shelby park.

national guard troops yelled at them in spanish and turned them back around telling them to go back to mexico to apply for asylum and that is exactly what they are doing. jonathan: casey, the razor wire that we have seen in many pictures, the shipping containers there, can you explain to us how big an area that does that cover and if it is only a small area, is it nothing more than an area of displacement. they cannot go across there so they go a few hundred yards down the road. >> that is a good question. both answers are right there. they have increased more and more miles of razor wire. at first right up there long shelby park in eagle pass for about 1 mile and a half stretch or so. the way it's been described to us is it is kind of like a balloon. if you squeeze a balloon lead to

other edges bulge out. that is kind of what happens with traffic and migrants going to wear the razor wire just ended. as texas continues to fortify the barriers, they add more and more miles. el paso, the del rio sector, most of the state of texas is covered now with razor wire. the only area that is lacking a little bit is over and the rio grande valley sector. we expect that additional wire will be put up there. last week, we were over in new mexico because new mexico is right next door to el paso and the razor wire trails off and guess what is happening there, they are starting to see increased crossings in that area because the razor wire is not there and that is why we see numbers continue to go up in

arizona and california. it appears what texas is doing is working. >> there seems to be a bigger issue with the big problem we have on the border. displacement to other states. thank you so much for being there this easter sunday. thank you. arthel: for more on this let's bring international border patrol council vice president. first of all, what can you tell us about that very concerning video of that large group of migrants reaching the razor wire have you heard from the agents that were confronted or anywhere they are on the ground? >> this is where the big picture comes into play. unfortunately, drug cartels in charge of where these groups though. you see these large groups, when you see the caravans come across , the cartels control where these groups go. when you see something of this

nature, a lot of times it's because the drug cartels will use this as a distraction so they can bring more drugs and other things into the area. the media focuses on that area. the law enforcement focuses on that area. it allows them to bring more drugs in. an increase number in new mexico , california and arizona. one thing that has remained consistent and arizona is the god away numbers. every time you see that and people start talking about it, you see another crazy incident somewhere else. the problem is this, the cartels , they know what they are doing and they will continue to use any type of distraction that they can so they can continue to flood our nation with drugs into the u.s. arthel: since you are mentioning the cartels, what can be done?

we just cannot let them run over the country like this, over the border like this. what can be done to stop the cartel? >> we will have to do negotiation with other countries that are seeing the drug cartels continuing to rise. currently, there is a battle going on amongst the cartels themselves in order to secure areas of the border. a battle going on south of arizona. they have shown it down there where they are at war. you need money to fund it. these drug cartels will continue to flood city streets with drugs making money so they confront their own war against themselves in other states, we are not seeing this administration -- arthel: i am asking what can be

done. >> you are going to have to get into some kind of negotiation with mexico in order to stop these cartels. some real consequences on individuals that you see coming through the border. it takes consequences and political will to stop them. >> absolutely. if there's a negotiation with mexico, the biden administration , the mexican administration, the president there. we know that the cartels do not follow the rules. what the mexican government have any leverage over the cartels? >> it comes down to this. you are saying they don't follow the rules. we are talking about negotiations with a foreign government. they will have to get strict with the cartels or we will have to hope that the foreign government will follow the rules the criminal aspect of it, but what are you supposed to do? you have to have serious

consequences against the criminals. how do you do that? you have to be able to come down hard on them and stop them. you have to hit them in their bank accounts. if you are seeing drugs you will have money going south on southbound drivers and southbound operations to stop the flow of money that is going south into foreign countries as well. >> of course, you make excellent points. these people operate under the radar and in back alleys. there may not be bank accounts i can be identifiable in order to freeze their assets. >> it's not even just bank accounts. it is money going south toward of the entries. u.s. customs and border have done operations and have been able to intersect money going south. perhaps they need to do more of those.

>> well, i am glad you are raising this because, listen, we all want our border to be secure and we want the cartels to stop ruining our country and bending footnote here and killing our children. i would like to follow up on that aspect of this may be next week or so. would you be able to get more on that for me to see if we can get some pressure on these cartels and get them where it hurts in the pocketbook. >> absolutely. the cartel, they don't care what side of the aisle is consuming their drugs. they just want to continue to being drugs into america. >> thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. happy easter. >> our prayers continue to go out to these families who are living a nightmare right now. the whole operation is

remarkably complex. you have wreckage and you have a channel that is just clogged because a ship is still sitting there. we know this will be a long road to recovery. >> maryland governor telling shannon graham on "fox news sunday" that the massive cleanup and recovery operation for the collapsed francis scott key bridge will not be easy. teams of engineers working around the clock to cut and remove huge chunks of concrete and steel from the water. madeleine rivera is near the side of the bridge collapsed with more. >> those demolition crews cutting through mangled pieces of metal as we speak. they've been able to remove the top part of the north section of the bridge. 200 tons lifted off site. let's take a look at this video. 650-foot ton crane in a 330-ton

crane. small vessels will begin to move through. calling this 247 operation unprecedented. this ship is the length of the eiffel tower with 4000 tons of steel sitting on top of it. nearly 400 people participating in this response and there is so much work being done above and underwater. there are divers that are assessing the wreckage to figure out how to cut it up into smaller pieces. it is important to get the port of baltimore back up and running again for the good of the region and the country. they did approve $60 million for emergency relief but that is a down payment. he hopes congress can step in and release more funds. >> if you remember the 2007 bridge collapse in minnesota, $260 million put together. including funds put their

congress on a bipartisan basis. i hope and expect this, too, would be a bipartisan priority. >> although congress is facing pressure to move quickly, we are told it may take some time to figure out what the project may cost and what the needs are. >> in front of that extraordinary and tragic scene there. thank you very much. arthel: we will go to capitol hill now where a battle is brewing over the proposed fentanyl funding -- chad program has a story. >> i demand to rebuild the bridge. the city of baltimore, the east coast and the american economy demanded. >> this will not just impact merrill lynch. it is affecting kentucky and michigan. >> tension that federal government will pay for the entire cost. i expect the congress to support my effort. >> no one knows how long this

will take. >> it is a heavy lift. it will take some time. >> that bridge took five years to build. we don't have an estimate on how long it will take to rebuild. >> the i 35 west bridge in minneapolis plunge into the mississippi river killing 13 people and injuring 145. >> a bill to authorize additional funds for emergency repairs and reconstruction of the interstate i 35 bridge located in minneapolis minnesota that collapse on august 1, 2007. >> the house voted just days after the collapse relighting a quarter of a billion dollars for a new bridge. the senate okayed the bill unanimously. >> everyone in the chamber in the country is aware that tragedy be from our state. fourteen months after the collapse. today lawmakers were replicating to reconstruct the baltimore

bridge. representing andy harris citing minnesota sidelined environmental and regulatory burdens to accelerate this rebuild. we are in a different political climate today. congress struggled to avoid the government shutdown. that means money for a new bridge could be a political fight. on capitol hill chad program cup -- fox news. arthel: thank you very much. jonathan: gunfire erupting near a busy shopping plaza downtown indianapolis. the night before easter. injuring seven kids between the ages of 12 and 17. no suspects in custody. we have a situation in which young people have conflict when

down. officials who went inside a house of worship and trespassed and had no right to exercise their rights to speak in the church. they should be criminally prosecuted and penalty. i will submit to you, all the protesters, i would love to know how many have been prosecuted. they had no right to invade that church. the church wins hands down. >> leo, i make a bold prediction , zero of them will be prosecuted given the way new york is these days. would you agree? >> that no problem. they know when they break the law, they know when they go into a church, a house of god and violate those first amendment were right they know they will not be punished. the biden administration has said we will not do anything. that is why they will continue.

>> doesn't freedom of speech and the doors to any building or is this specific to a church like st. patrick's. >> it is a case-by-case basis. in the church, that freedom of speech, the moment they cross into that church, they had no right at all. if they are on the streets, okay they have the right to assemble. inside that church, they lose. a fundamental first amendment right to freedom of religion and exercise religion. it was disruptive. >> leo, while i've got you here, it would be remiss of me to not get your thoughts on politics, the trump trials that are pending right now. the situation down in georgia i am particularly interested in your thoughts on. the trump team is appealing the decision that allows the district attorney there in fulton county to stay on the

case. do they have any chance of still getting her thrown off of that case? >> jonathan, they have an excellent chance. i will tell you why. the trial judge hunted. he had overwhelming evidence. wade is connected to willis. there was a testimony, a false testimony between the two. he did not go the complete all 100 yards to take her off. he putted to the appellate court that is why he allowed them to certified the appeal so the appellate court could do the job that he should have done. >> we've got so many legal cases pending here. one other one that is really coming down the track very quickly. the stormy daniels hush money case. we go to trial on april 15. just to weeks away from that the first of those. judges issued a gag order.

former president donald trump kind of a saying bring on the gag order. he wants to win here in the court of public opinion as much as he does in the courts, legally speaking. >> you are absolutely right. the most inconsistent order. he has a gag order on trump, but not all witnesses who are on television and media, i don't want to mention any names. it makes no sense. this judge in my opinion is conflicted. he should not be trying this case. that april 25 trial date, expect numerous appeals to challenge not only the day but the judge's role in this case and that gag order. jonathan: would you bet on that going ahead on its currently scheduled date? >> i would bet that it will, maybe jury selection, but the actual trial opening statements, no. it will be pushed back. >> interesting.

jonathan: antigovernment protesters launching a three-day rally in tel aviv israel. the parliament there goes on recess. demanding hostages be brought home. they want benjamin netanyahu resignation as the war in gaza rages on.

we are live in tel aviv this evening there. good evening. >> good afternoon. as we approached the six month mark of the war pressure is growing for a cease-fire agreement. talks between israel and hamas are said to resume this week. overnight thousands took to the streets of tel aviv to demonstrate the others demanding the release of hostages. these protesters clash with police that lit fires in the roads. illustrating the ongoing tension across israel in the midst of politics and war. inside gaza day 177 of the conflict. israeli troops continue to operate in both northern and central gaza. he has really air force launched a strike in the hospital in the central city. the military said they were striking a command center. observers on the ground said a tent filled with journalist was hit in the strike.

>> they had a tent without any warning. we were standing there a group of journalists peacefully with no terrorists among us. we were preparing our cameras and all of a sudden the tent was hit. everything went up. there were flames. >> with the focus on gaza, there is still continued activity along israel's northern border. more rocket fire today and a report of a targeted assassination conducted by the israelis against an individual in southern lebanon. all of this as tonight benjamin netanyahu is in the hospital undergoing surgery for a hernia and he has temporarily given power to the deputy prime minister. jonathan. >> the situation in rough and southern gaza there, it seems to me that the israelis, if they had just done what they wanted to do, they would have gone then

with this major grant operation by now. the u.s. administration has been saying, do not do it. do not do it. is that having an effect are they just situationally planning this? >> that is a great question. right before he went into surgery benjamin netanyahu address this very point. he said the israelis will go in despite the international pressure. it is important to note that there are a lot of politics going on behind-the-scenes. this is seen by some as a process that is being dragged out to help netanyahu politically. there is this understanding between the americans at the israelis that in order to defeat the battalions in the southern part of gaza, it will require a ground operation by israel. there are more than 1.4 billion that are currently sheltering in the southern city. they will have to be moved out

of the way before is really operation takes place and even if that operation does go forward, it is not a guarantee that hamas will be destroyed inside of gaza. it will simply buy them more time to get the hostages out and bring the fight to hamas. >> thank you for extraordinary context and analysis. 8:30 p.m. in tel aviv this evening. >> i think we need to better use our leverage. we have different parts of leverage and one of them is sending more offensive weapons. president biden needs to be as serious about ensuring humanitarian assistance into gaza as netanyahu has been at making his demands. >> chris van holland voicing concerns over president biden's proposal to give more aid to gaza.

the white house is planning to install a floating peer off the coast of gaza as part of the broad international initiative to feed starving palestinians during the conflict. experts tell the washington post that it will endanger those building up and defending the structure from any attacks. let's bring in doctor rebecca grant. doctor grant, first of all, what are the pros and cons to a floating peer? >> well, the biden administration number one priority is to get that cease-fire and then move in massive humanitarian aid. the peer is necessary because it allows them to bring in chips and position them more easily. this will attract every disgusting terrorist from the small boats to the rockets to the suicide bombers. the pentagon is definitely taking a risk. protection will have to be at the top of the list. >> what does that mean?

>> the army building this knows exactly what this means. while the white house says, you know, no u.s. boots on the ground, the reality is that there will be u.s. soldiers operating cap year end ideally, they extend the perimeter out a little bit of farmland and at sea. with air defense so this can flow easily. there is no question that protection will have to be a big priority so that we do not lose american lives in order to get this and move think humanitarian aid into gaza. arthel: of course. then you have the chicken and the egg. you are saying that there needs to be protection for our troops in order to build this. but, also, there needs to be a cease fire in place. so, you know, you cannot even trust gaza to agree to a

cease-fire and how quickly could the floating peer be erected and constructed. >> exactly. it is a matter of timing. that is why the pieces are already falling into place. it looks to me behind-the-scenes biden is hoping to get this cease-fire deal. the bigger piece is to get a cease-fire and then the number one objective for biden which is to get that saudi recognition of israel and normalization of relations. he wants that hold enormous deal to come together. cease-fire has to start first. right now negotiations have not gone to well. right now i think the pressure is off of hamas. if we put it there, it's not a bad idea, but they also hate the u.s. we should do it but we've got to have protection for our u.s. military that will be doing the

work to put that in place. >> absolutely. you mentioned normalization. is that what benjamin netanyahu wants? >> benjamin netanyahu wants a secure israel and that is the right priority. that has to be number one. those negotiations were on track before the hamas attack in october. the other states in the region, they want this war to be over. they want to see this wielding on. really unless we've got to get that piece in place for a larger to take place. we just have to see whether they will agree to any of the pieces of the diplomatic solution. cease fire comes first and hostage return. >> absolutely. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> a sad day in hollywood. dying in a motorcycle crash

when he failed a lie detector test. that deal would have let him serve his federal sentence at the same time as his 27 year state sentence for similar crimes. now, prosecutors want out of that plea deal. they say he was not telling the truth about what happened to $6 million of the money he stole from client and his law firm and whether a fellow attorney helped him steal it. the lawyer said the fbi examiner giving the polygraph test confuse their client. the examiner asked him strange questions and made comments about another high-profile criminal vander salute who killed alabama teen natalie holloway at 2005. already serving two life sentences for the 21 murders of his wife maggie and son paul. he says he did not do it and is fighting for a new murder trial. an attorney for several victims of the financial crimes is concerned about an overturned

people, but jesus was born into dark times for the jewish people he was a jew himself. he lived a heroic life and then gave his life for us. the story of easter is one of great gratitude for life, triumph over death he had difficulty being squashed by the light of the resurrection which is hope in this world. >> jonathan, i wonder why you think that the message perhaps does not seem to be resonating in the united states quite the way that it used to. looking at a gallup poll that we pulled out. 17% of americans are considered religion being important to them 2000 a little uptick 2023 just 45% say that religion was important to them. why do you think that is?

>> only one out of three americans go to church on a regular basis. we see in other parts of the world that this story is very different. and uptick in spirituality. we have everything at our fingertips. even with our own sufferings. when we are prosperous it is easier for us to think we are not therefore self-reliant. it is sad to say, but it is when the tough things happen to us that we often turn to spirituality and find a purpose and mission in life. right now the united states, we live a pretty comfortable life. all of our own pains and weaknesses. another interesting thing that as people get older they turned more towards religion. >> jonathan morris, our favorite the old jen. great to have you here.

happy easter to you. see you in 90 minutes. >> living the light. love each other as brothers and sisters for the sake of peace. happy easter. we hope to see you again at 4:0. nexium 24hr prevents heartburn acid before it begins. get all-day and all-night heartburn acid prevention with just one pill a day. choose acid prevention. choose nexium. ♪ on medicare? have diabetes? when enjoying life's special moments, are you left guessing which foods are right for you? with the freestyle libre 3 system, you'll know your glucose and where it's headed. no fingersticks needed. freestyle libre 3. manage your diabetes with more confidence... and lower your a1c. so you can focus on those special moments.
