millions, taken from the texas economy because of abbott's stunt. the traffic nightmare at the border, also leading to rotten produce and late deliveries. joining me now to discuss, robert gunther. he's chief public policy officer for the international fresh produce association. robert, thank you so much for joining us. is there any indication yet on how much abbots stunt has cost texas businesses? >> thank you for having me. this has been quite a week for the fresh produce industry. in fact, this is one of the major areas where we bring parties across the border, between texas and mexico. and when you look at texas alone, last year, 2021, nine billion dollars worth of fresh produce was [inaudible] what we looked at, that's about $25 million a day, that's crossing the border, that was completely stopped, as you mentioned. 30 hours of delays, hundreds of trucks being delayed. and really, well over $100 million in sales, but also for the state of texas, about $15 million taken out of production, just for this past week. you know, many are surprised th

the food and drug administration and abbott laboratories have reached an agreement to allow abbott to reopen the nation's largest baby formula plant which was closed due to concerns over bacterial contamination. following the death of two babies. meanwhile, the fda has eased import rules on baby formula made overseas. and the american academy of pediatrics has said babies as young as six months old can now be fed cow's milk for a brief period of time due to the baby formula shortage. up until now, pediatricians had recommended babies not be fed cow's milk until they were a year old. we'll have more on this story later in the broadcast. in the long time lgbtq lawyer and activist urvashi vaid has died at the age of 63. she headed the national gay and lesbian task force and became an outspoken critic of the federal government's response to the aids crisis. in 1990, she interrupted a speech by president george h.w. bush while holding a sign that read "talk is cheap. aids funding is not." she appeared on democracy now! in 2009. >> i feel that as a woman of color, it is not really separable

>> we reached out to governor abbott when we first discovered that he was compelling people to get on the bus, he was tagging them, he was sending them on a 45-hour ride, without any proper food, water or medical care, we've reached out and stated that let's coordinate and work together so we can deal with this crisis together, they refused to do so, and this is really -- >> wait, excuse me, they wouldn't even take your call? >> no, they did just the opposite. they took the call and stated -- that they would coordinate -- talking about governor abbott, that they would coordinate and they did not coordinate at all. it's more to do this basically political showmanship you're seeing now. >> you pledged during your campaign to keep new york city a sanctuary city, any concern that that policy is attracting more people to the border, more people to cross the border to make that dangerous trip? >> no, not at all. the city has always been a sanctuary city and we always managed those who wanted to come to new york city to pursue the american dream. let's be clear here, we've all come from some

even as abbott remains the favorite in the race. in the days after the uvalde school miscarry, o'rourke confronted abbott at a press briefing. >> somebody needs to stand up for the children of the state. >> reporter: we caught up with o'rourke where he told us he is proud of that moment. >> he said not a word about how we were going to prevent the next mass shooting. i knew i had to stand up on behalf of our fellow texans. >> reporter: in the aftermath of the ultimately shooting and the u.s. supreme court's decision to overturn roe v. wade. >> have those two issues changed the dynamic of this governor's race? >> absolutely. more texans think we are on the wrong track than have had said that to a pole lster or a surve scientist. this state wands change. >> reporter: wants change. >> reporter: governor abbott remains confident. he refused cnn's request for an interview but abbott goes on fox news to talk about immigration and border security. >> this just shows the hypocrisy of these liberal leaders in the northeast who think, well, t

and now it isn't just abbott. rosa flores is "out front." >> you asked your children for forgiveness. >> reporter: she feels guilty for taking her three children on the dangerous trek from venezuela to the u.s. southern border. she says one of her sons almost drowned along the way. [ speaking non-english ] at that point, she says she had no other option but to keep going. migrants like her are caught in the middle of the latest immigration debate. some are public and elected officials like texas governor greg abbott. >> this is an american problem caused by the president of the united states. >> reporter: bussing migrants from the u.s. southern border to the northeast. but now, el paso, a democratic-led city is doing it too. the city is in a border patrol sector that has encountered more than 228,000 migrants since october, a 47% increase compared to last year. we met jiminez at a homeless shelter there, where a growing number of migrants are being processed there. >> where are you going? >> reporter: the mayor of

look at governor abbott on a tear. he successfully banned abortion after six weeks and put bounties on women and banned books that make white people uncomfortable and pulled a full desantis to be crowned, good ol' greg decided to intentionally delay cross border food deliveries by adding redundant security inspections. the move is so bonkers i'm going to leave it to paul, a patriot texan according to his tiktok bio to explain it to y'all. >> right now governor abbott here in the state of texas is forcing the dps, our version of the stood troopers to stop every single truck coming out of mexico, every single truck and do a safety inspection on it. what they're doing is backing up shipping for dozens and dozens and dozens of miles. why? because they want to drive up inflation. they think it will help them in the midmidterms. >> abbott sabotaged $150 million worth of food and triggered an economic crisis that jacked up food prices further hurting americans just to prove he's a hard core republican. the move is so stupid t

that's exactly what happened at abbott's plant in michigan. the f.d.a. received the complaint about that company's production last october, but they didn't physically inspect the plant until january of this year. the f.d.a. does essential work with limited resources, but it cannot serve the needs of the american consumers and families on a thin budget. if we want to truly protect the safety and well-being of families and kids, we need to step up in congress. the house of representatives did it last week. house lawmakers passed congresswoman's laura derosa's legislation additional funding to help the f.d.a. with the formula shortage and prevent the next one. this legislation is a no-brainer from my point of view and that's why it's puzzling that 190 republican congressmen and women voted against it. they voted against the f.d.a. to get infant formula back into the homes of american families to prevent any healthy and safety issues in the future and 190 republicans said, no, i don't want to spend that money. that's right, the party that often claims to be

why didn't governor abbott attend any of the 21 funerals? we will talk to texas state senator roland gutierrez about a new state report that found systemic failures by the nearly 400 officers -- that's right, almost 400 who responded to the massacre. then we will look at today's democratic congressional primary in maryland where aipac has spent nearly $6 million in an attempt to defeat former congressmember donna edwards. we will speak to peter beinart about his new article "israel lobby's new campaign playbook: israel advocacy groups have developed strategies to raise huge sums for their candidates by appealing to corporate interests." >> aipac and otherstablishment pro-israel orgizations have dumped unprecedented amount of money and democratic congressional primaries this year. if their efforts succeed, they won't only stop the mocratic party fromom supporting in any meaningful way palestinian ghts, they will also prevent the democratic party from mounting any significant challenge to corporate power. amy: and we will speak to the pioneeri

unfortunately, governor abbott's comments are wrong on more than one level. first off, saying, you know, there's a tendency to refer to murderers in these cases as madmen and that kind of alludes to this idea and supports this frequently false idea that mass shooters are, that this is a mental health issue. and we know from, there's ample evidence that fewer than 30% of mass shooting perpetrators have any diagnosable mental health issue at all so do we feed to pursue improved mental health in this country? we absolutely do. just like we should put on our seat belt. will that prevent mass shootings? no. further, i think having seen also kind of having gone through the covid crisis, being in the hospital for that, what i saw in dealing with covid is countries, communities, turning to science, turning to public health and saying what should we be doing, is there evidence, what should we be doing to stop the disease from ravaging our communities, killing our family members, what do we need to be doing. i would love to see the country, the communities, the state g

the senate committee claiming as abbott spent billions buying back its own stock, it appears that it failed to make necessary repairs to fix a critical manufacturing plant. abbott denies the buybacks impacted the michigan formula plant and says it complies with all local and international tax laws and regulations. abbott's lab in michigan is expected to re-open in two weeks but it could take months before store shelves are restocked with formula. andrew. >> em, thank you. >>> covid cases are surging in parts of the country prompting a new warning about masks. the cdc says one-third of americans mostly in the northeast and upper midwest are living in medium or high risk area and recommends those in high risk areas wear a mask in public, indoor settings and including schools. >>> meanwhile, the cdc could recommend vaccine booster shots for kids age 5 to 11 today. less than 30% of kids in that age group are fully vaccinated. >>> we turn now to the worries on wall street. the dow falling more than a thousand points yesterday and overnight stocks in asia fell sharply. inflation gets much

now abbott is doing is calling them on their offer. after the 2016 election, mayor bowser says we respect all d.c. residents no matter their resident status. how can you complain when there have been two million illegal border crossings last year we're on track for two million more. there have been 5100 illegal immigrants brought to d.c. and 50 in new york. if you getting just little taste what texas is going through, what greg abbott doing, we're going to give you a little taste what we're experiencing in texas. >> i think these are stunt. this is what greg abbott greg -- gregabbott is doing. this is a governor who is in a political race for to be reelected in texas. it's a close race. people see things like, closing off the border, which definitely hurt the texas economy, hurt the american economy, they see him not showing up at scoot shootings -- school shootings. he's engaged in this stunt to embarrass washington mayor and new york mayor. the point should be let's have immigration reform. let's really deal with this issue in the co

i am not making that mistake with abbott. the lights went out in texas because of greg abbott. our utility bills have gone out because of greg abbott. highest property tax increase be have probably seen in the state, that is greg abbott. the single greatest driver of inflation in texas, greg abbott. gun violence in our schools, greg abbott. so you name a problem, this guy has been in office for eight years, he owns. and i will make sure that every texas voter, democrat, independent, republican alike know that. and understand that they have a choice and an alternative, and better path forward in november. >> immigration. the national news is talking about what governor desantis, governor abbott have been doing together in tandem shipping migrants, asylum seekers, two points north, in many cases not being truthful with them about where they are going and what awaits them. is that galvanizing texas voters? busing is something that is happening here in the state. this is a different kind of busing. does it strike the ire of texas voters the same way that it does other voters in the

abbott is committed to those steps and is moving to put them in place. but they need to do so without any delay. and we need other manufacturers to ramp up their production as well. and once we get through this immediate crisis, we do need to ask some hard questions about a market, a private sector market that is dominated by three large producers that supply 90% of the infant formula in this country. we need to think about how we can bring more competition into this market, more new entrants into this market, so that the american consumer is not reliant on any one private company as much as we are today. geoff: i want to draw you out on that because, as you rightly point out, abbott, they create 40% of the u.s. infant formula that is available on shelves. millions of american families are reliant on baby formula. and there are just a handful of companies that produce it. so when you say there will be there will be time for those questions, i mean, what does that look like? how concerned is the administration about this sort of market consolidation? and

debra alfarone has the latest. >> reporter: abbott says it has reached a deal with the fda to reopen its baby formula manufacturing plant in michigan. >> the fda is working closely with abbott to bring the facility back online safely. that's the key here, safely. >> reporter: the abbott plant shut down in february for safety concerns. >> the agency had a 34-page whistle-blower report in hand making pretty serious allegations that there was data falsifiction withheld from inspectors. >> reporter: abbott makes about 40% of all baby formula sold in the u.s. so the plant closure has led to shortages. the fda says those problems should be corrected quickly. >> we would expect this to gradually get better over the next several weeks and within really several months to be completely up to normal. >> reporter: the white house says it is working with other formula makers to increase their supplies. >> made clear to all of them that federal resources, including transportation and logistics resource,s are available and on call. >> reporter: the fda is also working to ease regulations that would

absolutely. >> greg abbott is so bad -- >> and how bad is he? >> that texas voters are considering doing the unthinkable, electing beto o'rourke. oh. >> it's fine. he's hot. now on the campaign trail, when you weren't talking about your number one issue, what you put in your morning smoothie, you were talking about crime. bloomberg reports that misdemeanor arrests in new york city jumped 25% in the first six months of mayor eric adams' administration. these are small crimes like subway fare evasion and sleeping on a park bench. but these arrests do let concerned new yorkers know how mayor adams will not tolerate being poor in this city. can you promise that by the end of your term, every new yorker will be rich or in jail? >> every new yorker will feel safe. misdemeanor arrests, those are the quality of life issues. we lost almost $500 million on those jumping turnstiles. no enforcement. they start out as misdemeanor arrests. they enter the system, then they commit felonies. that's what history has shown us. >> now in one notable police incident

abbott has taken a strong role in this as has ron desantis. there is no excuse for what is going on at the border and we haven't heard the biden administration try to give us one. not only is what is going on at the border cheating americans being inunidated on the border and elsewhere, slighting migrants coming over who will never live the american dream because of the way they entered illegally and as governor abbott said this is enriching the criminal organizations, drug cartels, ravaging their home country and ours with opioid epidemic and fentanyl. there is no excuse for it and the biden administration, they have not tried to offer us one issue they remain silent on this issue, they need to be pressed on a daily basis. >> todd: did abbott go far enough? >> tomi: i think he's doing everything he possibly can. i think the people of texas are leaning on him more so for leadership, they are not getting leadership out of the white house. it is up to congress, this is national security and governors shouldn't have to deal with this, but this is

governor greg abbott has made that very clear. we will have to wait and see how president biden responds and if he changes his policies as a results. that would be music to many border states and in iowa. music to their ears. congresswoman mariannette miller meeks, thank you so much for hopping on with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you have. a good morning. >> carley: all right. "fox & friends" starts right now. more fallout from the former president trump's florida home. >> should return the attorney-client material. >> department of homeland security and the fbi are warning against increased threats against law enforcement in response to the displerch today marks one year sinces taliban secured its grip on afghanistan. >> a new report out by the house foreign affairs committee republicans it argues the choices made led to avoidable outcomes. >> chose told them not do this and they did it

abbott is not blameless. the company neglects the essential manufacturing and cleaning processes that are in place to guarantee the safety and reliability of the products needed for most vulnerable population. today, the exact batch of contaminated and fit formula resulting in two of their deaths remain unknown. the bacterial sample of the sample taken from two of the four infants who fell ill was not found in environmental samples takenak from avid sturgs michigan production facility. the facility has too long of a record of deficiencies. including evidence of the same potentially fatal bacterial on-site and his absence of the formulaan of 2019 and leading up to the 2021 inspection. fortunately, those batches were called before the product was released for distribution. this presents a disturbing pattern of negligence. what company alone does not bear the entire burden for landing in this current situation. there are also questions surrounding the timeline of fda's investigation response. four months left ov

is governor abbott onto something? obviously, there is criticism, but they look, you said you want to welcome, here is an opportunity, you would not have responded to my calls. >> absolutely. the state of texas has already spent $4 billion in the last several years, to work and secure the border and bring these people in and provide the necessary housing and needs that they have. if there are any phone calls that need to be made, it is with these cities, new york, washington, d.c., chicago, outrage at having to do what they have promised to do. they need to be calling the president of the united states and asking him to secure the border and make sure that we do what we can to prevent these people coming into this country. that is a phone call that needs to be made. >> excuse me, on that point, what do you say to the fact that, you cannot deny that the idea of how governor abbott has gone about it is intended to be a bit of a calling of a political bluff, right? there is that notion, the coordination aside, there is so

here in texas today, governor greg abbott was confronted on live tv. his democratic challenger beto o'rourke interrupting him not long after the governor said he had asked so many leaders here on the ground what went wrong. tonight, president biden asking lawmakers, where is our backbone? rachel scott on the hill tonight. >> reporter: republican texas governor greg abbott insisting today that guns were not the problem in the mass shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers. >> i asked the sheriff and others an open-ended question. what is the problem here? and they were straightforward and emphatic. they said, we have a mental -- we have a problem with mental health illness in this community. >> reporter: but interrupting abbott's press conference, former democratic congressman beto o'rourke, who is running for governor himself. >> let him talk. >> the time to stop the next shooting is right now and you are doing nothing. you're offering us nothing. you said this was not predictable. this is totally predictable. when you choose not to do anything

abbott says, that case does not apply in texas. the who can attest whether state's -- immigration offenses. obviously, this move raises many legal questions and civil rights groups are asking the justice department of investigating possible civil rights violations. i'm joined now by two texans, julian were castro is joining us, and grace a, look, wrestled is added up? to >> thank you for having me. the truth is, he has been relentless in his campaign against people who are immigrants. the stakes -- were anti immigrant actions are deadly. his actions will have a real impact on millions of people. i know what it feels, like i grew up in a texas, as you said, i had my father departed for the farmers branch in texas, and haven't seen him and be able to grow up with him. so republicans like greg abbott, or in arizona, there was also in florida, they are trying to divide us and it's clear that web their actions and using -- inserting power from their executive offices are trying to create conditions for immigrants like myself, millions o

of abbott's food safety policies and that it investigated the matter. beginning last september federal officials received notice four babies had been hospitalized with rare infections after drinking formula made at that abbott plant. tragically two of those babies died, but here is the thing, the cdc says the babies' bacteria didn't conclusively match with the strains found in the abbott plant so they had the bacteria but maybe they got it from somewhere else. yet this same abbott whistleblower then expands on the allegations in yet another complaint sent to the fda in october of 2021. that's the complaint that ultimately lands in the hands of congress and why we know about any of this at all. but it's not until february of this year that abbott's plant in michigan shut down, which then layered on to this crush of other supply chain problems causes the massive shortage of formula hurting families right now. the fda said in a statement we know there have been various questions about the timeline of events leading up to the fda's warning and abbott's reca

there was a public announcement, both by abbott and by the fda. ah about the problem with the product and there were general reason needed to be recalled. representatives from manufacturer abbott also faced tough questions during the house committee hearing, with many blaming the shortage on the closure of habits michigan plant in february due to safety concerns. current infant formula shortages heartbreaking on behalf of everyone at abbott. i want to express our extraordinary disappointment about the shortage. the hearing comes as thousands of pounds of baby formula arrived from germany wednesday as part of the biden administrations operation fly formula. today's shipment will be enough to fill one million baby bottles. the fda has also approved the release of 300,000 cans of specialty baby formula to help kids suffering from severe food allergies. i think we'll see a return to sort of semi normal within a matter of a month or so says it will reopen its michigan planted early june baby formula should begin hitting store shelves about 6 to 8 weeks

abbott is releasing them in new york where they want to go. so governor abbott is following federal rules. how has this migration policy affected your ranch? >> the thing about it is these migrants coming across the ranches and stuff, they are tearing up fences and letting livestock out. number one, you might say they are littering your pasture, cattle, with water bottles everywhere. you have clothes, food and the thing about it, it will eventually kill them later down the line. it gives them a short life. the thing is, these illegal immigrants, they need to be turned right back around. they don't need to be in the united states. i'm not prejudiced and not against it. you know what, come into this country legal like you are supposed to and get a job. i have worked overseas and everywhere i have went that i was working, i had to have a passport. they checked my passport because if i didn't have it come i got thrown in jail. that is not the case in the united states of america. anybody can come in here and all the single young adult males, what

in this case it was abbott nutrition put profits in production over people. due to what is a disgraceful oversight is causing parents and caregivers to struggle to feed their kids. the images of empty shelves, desperate families are heartbreaking with the legislation does provides $28 million in new funding for the fda. it will provide fda urgently rated nice resources to address the shortage, to prevent fraudulent products from entering into the marketplace. to help acquire better data on the situation in the marketplace and to prevent these shortages from happening again. we strengthen their workforce, focus on formula issues and increase fda inspection staff. in response to question i i asked the fda and how they would be able to review and fit formula submissions, i was told that they have only nine people to do this. this would be coming from domestic manufacturers, foreign manufacturers to be able to look and see if this is a quality project. if it meets our standards. what this will also allow the fda to do, with the resources is look at fda facilities

i will read the statement, unfortunately texas governor greg abbott greg abbott is without shame or humanity, that is but ever since he put the racist practice of expulsion in place, we have been working with community parties to ready the city to receive these individuals. isn't it dangerous rhetoric to refer back to if you don't agree with something, that it is racist instead of looking at the big picture and saying you know what, it is a big problem. is it hard for democrats and republicans to see something as big of an issue as the border crisis? as partisan? >> yeah, i'm so sick and tired of these liberals when they get their back against the wall. they always play the race card. i think the american people are seen through this. what's going on at the southern border is unconstitutional and it gets worse every day. and coming across the border, although human trafficking and all the crime across the border is a direct result of the biden administration having an open border policy, welcoming these people across the border. and i am glad that these big city mayors thanks to governor abb

greg abbott has no interest in solving this. look, let's be real. if he did have interest in solving this, he would call his friends in the republican congress and in the senate to say, hey, you all need to get with democrats who have a solution in hand for comprehensive immigration reform that would continue to secure the border and find a pathway to citizenship and a way for these migrants to come in. we're at full employment, laura. corporations and companies all across the country are begging for workers. let's find a way to put these immigrants to work. that's why they came here. but these governors, these republican governors, have no interest in solving this. they only want to use this as political stunts, and i think it's going to be hurtful for them in their party, hurtful for them politically because it's really betraying what they really think about immigrants. they think that they're trash. >> we'll see how this all unfolds. if there is antic factor, the word burden in the same paragraph, we're talking about human beings. i recognize the

greg abbott has not apologized. he abruptly ended his policy after beto o'rourke joined at this program and said this. >> it's going to increase prices at our grocery stores even higher. and it's worsening a supply chain problem that we already had. and this didn't have to happen, it's a decision of one man and one man alone. greg abbott. >> beto o'rourke from democratic congressman representing el paso, texas. he's now running for governor of texas. and that one man who you said was responsible for the decision to put this in play. made the decision to stop it having accomplished nothing? is that the correct accounting on was accomplished? >> i'm so proud of the people of texas who forest greg abbott back down. and off of this ridiculous proposal of these unnecessary inspections that costs texas economy 400 and $70 million a day. was in the words of our statewide ally to republican agriculture commissioner, syd miller, economy killing. and drove prices up in every part of the texas economy. especially in our superm
