he is senator, he is john katko. great to have you on. so you spent 25 years as a federal organized crime prosecutor. talk to us about what your feeling is about this shooting of the police officer? >> just a horrific example how out of control this defund the police and vilifying police movement has taken such a toll in our country it is terrible. this is just a terrible example. my heart goes out to the families. she leaves behind a two-month-old child and her partner is fighting for his life in the hospital right now. it doesn't have to be like that. officers across this great country are under siege because of the last passed and handcuff their ability to do their job and because of defunding going on making it much more dangerous because there is not enough police out on the streets. so it is the worst i've seen, the worst i've seen. elizabeth: this is a story affecting every american and all american families. she was one of 38, ella french, police officers shot or shot at so far this year in chicago. we see police officers quitting

john katko is on the commission. 210,000, think of it. picture 210,000 people coming illegally across the southern border, roughly somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000 people every single day. as you point out, each one of them essentially has a price tag on them that is going to the cartel, right? >> you're exactly right. the cartels control the southwest border completely. you can't cross without their -- without paying them. the average cost is $4,000 a person. so do the math. 210,000 times 4,000 is close to $800 million in one month. we're enriching the cartels like we never have before. >> martha: we're basically enabling the cartels to increase their business dramatically. not only do they get a fee for every person we let come in, they also under the cover of all of that chaos, they're getting so much fentanyl and meth into the country and you see that even impacting your upstate new york region. >> yeah, there's 127 pounds of fentanyl. there's enough fentanyl in the first five months of this year to exceed all of last year. last

john katko. a good time to bring up bill melugin in la jolla, texas. now they're trying to say the supreme court -- the supreme court is trying to say continue adjudicating these cases of those trying to get here and keep them in mexico as president trump wanted, not in the united states as joe biden has wanted to do. i'm wondering whether that has changed the dynamics and what you're covering has changed as a result? >> border agents says it will have a big impact here on the border. greg abbott calls the supreme court's decision a make -- major victory for texas. when my grants show up, they won't be just be released into the united states with a notice to appear. they have to go back to mexico and wait over there for their case to play out here in the u.s. that's what president trump was doing when he was in office. he said it ended catch and release. when president biden took over, he got rid of it. the supreme court says no, you have to bring it back. dhs says -- >> if you take a look at zone video here in this morning as hi grants were being appr

i happen to agree with john katko like with europe, japan, or with korea, there was probably a reason for our purposes, for our national security not for nation building, to keep a presence in afghanistan. that's behind us. now what's the relationship, we need a relationship on the ground. trump was the one who chose the taliban as our negotiating partners. it's a big bet that-- it's a long bet that they're going to be stable that they're going to be able to push back on isis-k and al-qaeda, but that's who we've got and i think we'll have to maintain a relationship. neil: all right, congressman, i want to thank you very very much. scott peters, democrat of california and again, the fact that the political responsibility, who was responsible for this, who isn't, and probably now is not the time to get too much into that, but to explore the inconsistencies in that argument no matter if you're talking this president or the former president. right now the focus is trying to get people out of the country and as you've just heard there are fewer of them getting to the airport to get out of

stuart: separate subject, congressman john katko joins us. he is the top republican in the house homeland security committee. congressman, thanks for being here. we know that you're calling on secretary mayorkas to release number of known or suspected terrorists coming across our southern border. does he know who they are and how many there are? >> he does. thanks for having me, stuart, and your statement about afghanistan and the current state there is spot on but the border is a very important component of that and prior to afghanistan falling i made requests of mayorkas to disclose at least if not the identity of the known and suspected terrorists apprehended at the southern border at least the number. we knew it was on an uptick. outgoing customs, border patrol chief just recently stated it is at unprecedented levels number of people they're seizing at the southern border that are known and suspected terrorists. this has pronounced implications not just for the southern border but what is going on in afghanistan. they released 5000 taliba

katko, good faith was trying to get to a deal on a january 6 commission. look what happened, was given the authority to negotiate that, and yet got virtually no votes on his side of the aisle. a handful. i would be unhappy if i were he. i think mr. cole is making the argument that we are punishing our members. i think in some ways members are punished over january 6. i talked to a number of republicans who would have liked to have voted for it. i just -- the whole environment here sort of gotcha and let's look to the next election almost forgetting that there is an american public that's struggling many, many, millions of americans struggling. we are going to talk about who is going to be in charge of the house. at some point i don't think the americans care who is in charge of the house. they care about their families at their own house. i care about their house. i'm sure we all do. i was reflecting on projections, we are talking projections here, i'm not sure what the projections were of the tax cut bill in 2017 but added a couple trillion dollars to the
