pacemaker with a defibrillator. it should be a short procedure to protect his heart and address the underlying cause of his stroke. campaign also released in photo showing fetterman cast emergency absentee ballot from the hospital. among republicans former president donald trump is pushing dr. mehmet oz. even releasing a robo call asking republicans to vote for him and criticizing his two closest opponents david mccormick and kathy barnett. he maintains the undecideds in this race will break his way. >> as you know, there is lots of undecideds. and they are asking themselves three questions. they are worried about where the country is going. they know this election counts so much. and they are asking who shares their conservative values and go to go fight for them. >> they are slowly filling in here at mccormick headquarters. head east pennsylvania where dr. oz has his party that's where we find my colleague bryan
3:03 pm
llenas. bryan. >> despite being the most well-known candidate on the ballot. celebrate physician and tv doctor mehmet oz banked his entire political campaign on being the so-called outsider ready to fight the establishment. he das his ballot in person, in fact, for the first time in his life in pennsylvania. oz said he has voted absentee in the past. dr. oz told us he is on mystic about tonight. >> i think metaphorically the sun is shining on us. i feel like i'm in a very good spot. i'm confident we have the momentum. i'm confident we have the right message. up beat. pennsylvanians are seeing in their own homes. >> last night, trump spoke at his tele rally. the oz campaign got a shot in the arm when he was backed by former president trump. oz voters told us they support him because of his electability and trump's endorsement. >> i was like just going to read up on everybody and then once i heard trump out promoting oz i was like you know what? yeah. i'm going to do it. >> i just think that oz has got

3:05 pm
>> but with barnett's unexpected gains came criticisms specifically over past tweets that her critics call anti-muslim and homophobic. she admitted to marching in d.c. on january 6th. says she did not is support or participate in the destruction of property. some republicans still fear given her history barnett would have a hard time winning over independent voters in a general election. but back to the election at hand here there is a serious issue in lancaster county. we learned that a printing error has caused thousands of mail in ballots not properly so they will have to be counted manually. that is a process that a republican county commissioner who spoke today said could take days. bret? >> bret: alex, thank you. turning our attention now to north carolina from pennsylvania where today's primary elections in north carolina are another test for president trump's influence in the republican party, including his endorsement of a current representative who has found himself in a series of

3:19 pm
numbers out of the water. >> it's more than 357% jump from the same period four years ago feds say they expelled more than 96,000 last month under title 42; however, some say they have yet to receive a formal plan on how it will be officially addressed with a deadline looming. >> why don't he tell the 20,000 men and women of border patrol what the plan is. what's the strategy to secure the border? >> early this morning this removal flight left texas carrying 132 migrants back to guatemala. after it was determined they couldn't stay in the u.s. no word on how much these flights cost but hours later, hundreds of miles away in eagle pass, texas a new group of 250 migrants seen crossing the rio grande further isletting the ongoing cycle officials say with no signs of slowing? now a multi-state lawsuit is still pending challenging the official expiration of title 42
3:20 pm
and that is still before the court. no ruling has been made. we expect one any day now. bret? >> bret: casey, thank you. joining us now in studio to talk about all of this arizona democratic congressman tom o'halloran. thank you for being here. >> my pleasure, bret. >> bret: just seeing these numbers and it's really staggering when you look at border encounters by border patrol just in the southwest border area, 234,000 in april. under title 42, 96,908 expulsions. how concerned are you that in days, title 42 might be wiped away? >> well, i have made it very evident that i'm very concerned. when i was down on the border last about a week and a half ago or so, they were capturing about staffing about half the amount of people than the other ones were able to get through. that -- and that's at lower levels even than we anticipate.
3:21 pm
they are not ready, i don't think. processing for the immigration services. the ngo's. the whole coordinated process. and at that time a week and a half ago, fema, who is trying to coordinate all of this and bring it together was not -- hadn't been even to nogales area. >> bret: the department of homeland security secretary is there today. secretary mayorkas. i talked to him about this a number of different times. last time on "fox news sunday." take a listen. >> they make their claims under the law. if those claims don't prevail, they are promptly removed from the united states. >> bret: but is it the objective of the biden administration to reduce-sharply reduce the total number of illegal immigrants coming across the southern border? is that the objective? >> it is the objective of the biden administration to make sure that we have safe, legal, and orderly pathways for individuals to be able to access our legal system.
3:22 pm
>> bret: congressman, they know they have a problem here. but are you convinced that the objective on the border for this administration is to prevent illegal immigrants from coming across? >> we have to protect our border. come from a border state. we also have to consider the humanitarian conditions of those people that are currently been at the border for quite some time and refugees coming across. but, the bottom line is to be prepared for all of that and when i was a police officer in chicago, we over prepared. we identified a threat. our issue whether it was a peaceful demonstration or whatever, and made sure we had the resources available to be able to address that situation. in my evaluation, i haven't seen that yet. >> bret: our latest fox news poll asks about title 42 border restrictions, keep them 63%. end them 27%. obviously when you look at covid policies, that's also a question as we are relaxing a lot of
3:23 pm
these around the country not to relax that is kind of a double standard. >> arizona is infection rate just went up 137%. states around our country are going up considerably. so, i can't imagine why the cdc did what they did. i definitely can't imagine why a judge would intervene at this point in time. i have a true concern about people but we have to have that concern on both sides of the border. cities and towns and municipalities that are threatened and they can be overwhelmed quickly because they are small entities. and i don't know -- when i discussed the issues with people down there, i said what about the processing? what do we do about 10 people now to get trained and stuff, what happens when you have to do a few hundred a day at one location? and transport them by bus? do you have enough buses? none of the answers came out as answers that you could say okay,
3:24 pm
we're ready. >> bret: okay. we just had -- we reported on this drug tunnel from mexico into the u.s. have pictures of this and they are going to fill it in flow of drugs specifically fentanyl is having a massive impact, especially along border states like yours. do you think that the biden administration is taking the issue of illegal immigration seriously enough in your estimation? >> i know they are concerned. title 42 the answer is i wish they would extend the time frame. on fentanyl, we all have to do a lot more than we have. we talk about it all the time in congress. we have to move things in congress. we can't just sit back and wait. >> bret: okay. congressman tom o'halloran from arizona. congressman, thank you. >> thanks, bret. >> bret: up next the biden administration looks for solutions among mounting bipartisan blowback to the nationwide baby formula shortage. i ♪ ugh the dirt,

>> evil will not win, i promise you. hate will not prevail. and white supremacy will not have the last word. now is the time for the people of all races from everybody background to speak up as a majority in america and reject white supremacy. >> i won't let others forget what happened here in buffalo, new york, what happened to my friends, what happened to my neighbors, what happened to my community. >> bret: president biden visiting buffalo with the first lady talking to victims family members after that tragic shooting and the fallout continues. in the meantime in new york it's worth noting they have this thing called a red flag law. new york has a red flag law designed to keep firearms away from people who could harm themselves or others but dresden dresden this shooter was still able to buy a.p. style wrifl according to the a.p. let's start with our panel ben
3:52 pm
domenech "the washington post" columnist marc thiessen. you know, used to be a speech writer, marc, there are moments when presidents need to go some place in a moat. he had moments with these family members but the speech he delivered was different in its tone, tenor and what he was looking do. >> it was. the interesting thing i was with president bush when he gave a lot of these kinds of speeches, the job of the president is to be the consoler in chief, the uniter and chief. and president biden campaigned on being the uniter in chief. instead he chose to use this moment to sort of subtly but accuse the republican party of supporting white supremism and call out this replacement theory. i think it's important to remember that the people who came up with replacement theory were the democrats. democrats were the ones who said democracy is destiny the more immigrants that come in color.
3:53 pm
the permanent minority. they have a responsibility for spreading that philosophy in this country. >> bret: what about this tact and kind of the fallout from it as we gaze. >> look, i think white supremacy is a problem. white supremacy plus guns is a problem. you read the manifesto very clearly he laid out what he feels about the white race and other races. how he feels about jews. we have seen attacks on asian-american communities. we have seen the pittsburgh synagogue shooting. we have seen how all of them, including this guy referred to the new zealand shooter. so there is a problem here. blaming the republican party for this, wrong. saying white supremacy is a problem, correct. >> agreed. >> i think we can do both of those things at the same time. >> bret: ben? >> i think we have a crisis in this country of isolation of mental illness, of an inability to deal with people who are likely to trend in these directions, regardless of the ideological motivation or the politics involved. i think that we need to do a
3:54 pm
better job of tracking people we see in piece due to the break downs of the communities that would inform and warn of such things. the breakdown of the church, of the family, and of that cohesion that has been a key to america's success in the past and needs to be key to our success in the future. >> bret: there is also a crisis, as we talked about, on the baby formula crisis. and take a listen. >> here's what the president ought to do. he ought to call in the top 10 people at the fda and he ought to say number one, what happened? and give them about 20 minutes to explain what happened. and then the president ought to turn to the top 10 people at the fda and he ought to say you have 10 days to fix it. >> seeing the problem is very important. but understanding it very carefully is, too.
3:55 pm
when the all of this is done, i'm not associating my colleagues with what i'm going to say right now. i'm just saying it myself. i think there might be a need for indictment. flush. >> bret: a need tore indictment, marc from the house speaker. >> yeah. you know, this has become a problem now recently for the americans but the biden administration has known about this for months. they only swung into action now when all of a sudden the store shelves are empty. truthfully, i just look at this and say americans look at this saying are we a third world country? we are the united states of america? i mean, are these stores like goon the soviet stores that had nothing on them? we are the united states of america. we don't have baby powder shortages. this is not what happens to us. this happens in third world countries. this is biden's responsibility. he is commander-in-chief it's his job to fix it. >> bret: is that response mara because they feel the outrage that's bubbling up across the country? >> look, this is a classic case of not everything becomes a by a
3:56 pm
president's desk is his fault but it's all his problem. in other words, you know, he is the president. people expect him to solve these things. and yes, i agree with mark. there must be some way to get baby formula onto the shelves. there are too few companies that make it it's a very concentrated industry. one of these plants offline for various problems. i think something could be done. >> bret: i meaning hearings are to come. if the speakers are saying that there are chairman that are listens. we all had plenty of money and there was nothing our money could buy. the scene of these shelves being empty is something that is very disturbing to americans. we want to be able to have confidence that our economy functions that we are able to fix supply chain issues. that we are able to respond to these things quickly and as mara said, this is something that ultimately, regardless of the people who eventually, i think, are hauled in front of congress on this issue is something that the president has to deal with. >> bret: all right. let's go to pennsylvania. the g.o.p., the senate candidates, big night tonight.
3:57 pm
it's really the senate race is going to be fascinating to watch. come down to the wire, it looks like. and on the democratic side, it looks like the lieutenant governor heading in was positioned to win. he had a stroke. we just got word he had a successful procedure, mara, in the hospital. if you are a political junky, pennsylvania senate race is going to be -- >> it's insane we haven't even talked about the governor's race making production' heads explode. we can talk about that another time. yes, fetterman is going to win, i think. i don't see any change in the race. but the guy just had a stroke. so that's a big potential problem. is he going to be able to campaign? is he going to lose a lot of time in the next couple weeks recovering? we don't know. in terms of the republican side we will know a lot of things. does donald trump's endorsement mean in pennsylvania what it meant in ohio? what about kathy barnett who has been surge hog says donald trump doesn't own maga. in other words, trumpism is now a kind of separate independent
3:58 pm
force. we're going to find out about that. >> bret: i mean, taking on trump from the maga right is quite -- >> that is a problem. this has shades of 2010 when the republican party was set to take back the senate and we nominated a bunch of people like christine o'donnell and cheryl angle in nevada who had no chance of winning. barnett was on "fox news sunday" with sharon and she said talking about the tweets where she called obama a muslim doing muslim things and she said my tweets are not full thoughts or full sentences. i follow you on twitter, bret, your thoughts are full thoughts and full sentences. i try to make mine full thoughts and full sentences. candidate quality is important. putting aside ideology extremism. if she can't answer these kind of questions in a primary she will get clobbered. >> shades of what we saw in the tea party new blood coming to washington regardless of who ends up winning, you are going to see lots of new blood and it's going to change the congress in egg significant ways. >> bret: panel, thank you.
3:59 pm
