than 2.3 million migrants have been released into mainland u.s.a. during the biden administration. >> ainsley: our co-host lawrence jones is live in eagle pass this morning. is he getting a look at the border by air and by land. and he joins us this morning. hey, lawrence. >> lawrence: hey, good morning, family. if you watch the channel, if you watch "fox & friends," you know we have been covering the crisis at the border for a long time. the difference is today is that you had december with the record number of 300,000 migrants encounters coming across the border. but, also now, with mayorkas there is an impeachment that is pending right now. and there is an investigation underway. is he scheduled to be here. also, you have the biden administration that is suing my state of texas because of the new law that just came out. that will not only arrest some of the migrants but also imprison them and give them the option to go back to their home country.
4:03 am
so, a lot happening there on the border. can't wait to get on the to see what the border agents and texas department of public safety are seeing every day, guys. >> steve: all right. lawrence. >> ainsley: i don't understand what the problem is. if they are here illegally why wouldn't you be able to arrest them unless they're maybe claiming asylum and persecuted in their country. >> steve: all of them have. >> ainsley: not all of them. >> lawrence: the problem is, ainsley. they are saying texas doesn't have the authority to do it. it's a federal government issue. i get that but the question is, if the federal government is not doing it, and texas is facing the brunt of it, do we have the right to enforce that law? and that's what they are saying right now. we passed a state law now and not a federal law, and we have the right to enforce it. we will see what the supreme court says though. >> brian: going to be interesting. because governor abbott had a pretty strong case yesterday with shannon bream saying that we are pretty -- he is a lawyer. they worked on this case for a while. they are going to prove that the federal government has dropped
4:04 am
the ball and they are the only ones that can do it. now the federal government is working on a border deal. we could have a framework today, tomorrow, or wednesday. which will probably, it's not hr 2 but they say it gets very close to it. and then you see if it passes the senate and then gets to the house. because, without that, there is going to be no war funding for taiwan. ukraine, or as well as israel. so, we will see what happens when that emerges. because it's got to be asylum changes and change parole or the rest -- nothing else matters. >> steve: indeed. >> lawrence: i know, brian you have been talking to your sources about that what they are doing behind doors. one of the contention points the democrats feel like it's just a money issue and not actually the courts as well as the asylum laws changing those as well. so we will see what is happening. >> brian: without the changes, no republic will sign off on it. >> ainsley: i wonder how border patrol feels when mayorkas keeps
4:05 am
going down there and they are telling him this is what needs to change. go back to washington and tell them. then he comes back for a visit there are no changes are they frustrated? >> steve: do you know what they say? we have heard it before. let us do our job because they feel they cannot. they would like to stop the people. lawrence, stand by for that let's talk a little bit about what is has been going on over the last 10 days or. so more than that, actually about two weeks. and that is we have got a timeline so we are going to put it up. the secretary of defense, that man right there, lloyd austin, on december 22nd, first box on the left on the top, he went in to the hospital, apparently, for elective surgery. then monday, january 1st, he was hospitalized and taken via ambulance to walter reed he was
4:06 am
placed into intensive ware for pain. on tuesday, deputy defense secretary kathleen hicks told she would be doing certain operational duties but not knowing that he was in the hospital, it wasn't until thursday that president biden was told and friday senior defense department officials and congress were told. here's the thick. the fact that he did not tell the white house, that is now today a gift to the republicans because it shows unbelievably bad judgment on the part of the secretary of defense. >> ainsley: is he in icu on monday. she, the deputy doesn't find out she is going to have to cover some of thinks duties. >> steve: she was in charge. >> ainsley: doesn't know he was in the hospital. she was on vacation in the puerto rico. donald trump says failed secretary of defense lloyd austin should be fired immediately for improper professional conduct and dereliction of duty i has been missing for a week including crooked boss joe biden doesn't
4:07 am
know where he is. he has performed poorly and should have been let go long ago. >> brian: the i recognize the media concerns about transparency and do have done a better job, you think? i commit to doing better but this is important to say this. was my medical procedure and i take full responsibility for my decisions about disclosure. the other thing surprised lawrence, accountability is drilled into you. this guy is a general. at war. it is not like we are in the middle of a contentious situation in the middle east. a secretary of state fanning out to five countries trying to say guys, let cooler heads prevail. we have our ships in the middle of guarding commercial vessels going through the red sea when the houthi rebels are trying to blow us up. we blew up three ships a week ago. and wonder when attacks coming from iran proxy. this guy is mia? that's official, don't you
4:08 am
think? >> lawrence: i agree, brian. i purchase his service. i'm shocked he conducted himself in this way it there is a rank and file. there is command procedures that you must follow and the president is the commander-in-chief. i'm also concerned with everything that's happening in the middle east. all these conflicts, when china knocking at our door russia new yorking at our door. what is happening in ukraine. just the general defense that the president didn't speak to the secretary of defense for an entire week to even know this or. >> brian: is he not making any decisions. is he a figure head. he is probably not making any decisions anyway. is he implementing what he is told to do. lawrence you are right. >> brian: missing for a week and no one seems to care? not oonly does the president put a lid 4:00. comes back from vacation three days of an empty schedule. now we have a secretary of defense who disappears and doesn't tell anybody. can you imagine if donald trump was in office cbp wouldn't have
4:09 am
taken a commercial for six days. this functional white house the president is so unworthy of the position. ainsley: we hope is he okay sorry is he in pain. we wish him all the best. the ways this with a handled is doorly. you have to tell other people in the hospital when you are in the hospital when you are in charge of our national security. >> steve: pretty much. >> ainsley: this is the headline, someone's head has to roll. they go on to say not telling the white house congress or the media he is sick and then telling pentagon staff is he working from home is next level. >> this is a problem. someone made the decision not to disclose, that person will likely be gone shortly he went in originally for elective medical procedure and northbound is saying what it is he thought he would be able to go in and is there done. sounds like something minor. >> ainsley: before christmas. >> steve: cosmetic. people are emailing suggestions a lot of them are things where did you go in and come out.
4:10 am
something went haywire where, you know, 8 days later he is in intense pain. he thought nobody would ever find out about it. but it has currently hit the fan. lawrence, one more thing. here's the thing what is the reaction of the president of the united states the president says he maintains confidence in secretary austin. here's the thing. joe biden as we have said a million times is very loyal to people in his cabinet. you know, pretty much his entire cabinet is still intact three years later. but joe's son bo served as a military lawyer under austin when he was the top commander in iraq. bo and lloyd also would often go to catholic mass together. there is a family connection which could keep him in the job because of loyalty the fact that he did something dumb. lawrence? >> as the commander-in-chief,
4:11 am
allowing this to stand, when no other servicemen or woman would be able to get away with this. he was mi. >> a. he was mia for a period of time. the president had no idea about this. the white house didn't know. the secretary of state didn't know. the national security adviser didn't know. and there was not even a peep and they lied and said that he was working from home when he was actually in the hospital. >> brian: that's what he said. >> look. they have been saying for a while that the president is constantly briefed by his cabinet. we now know that's not true. did he not talk to the secretary of state -- i'm sorry the secretary of state for over a week. and had no idea where he was. >> so this is not just a question about the secretary of defense. this is about the president's leadership as well. and i don't think they want to deal with this scandal when people have said that the president is weak and frail and not aware of what's going on. i think this kind of proves it. >> brian: he doesn't have press conferences, he doesn't do
4:12 am
interviews. he is going on vacation. we don't know -- we know he was quite angry, if you watched him on friday during that address. then we just saw nothing over the weekend. >> and today is he in charleston. all right. lawrence, stand by there at the border. >> ainsley: 11 minutes after the top of the hour. now to this. remember this insane video last week of a suspect attacking that judge during his sentencing in las vegas? >> steve: well, now the guy who jumped over the bench and got the judge is facing the judge again today in court. >> brian: todd piro joins us now. todd? >> todd: good morning. the shocking video shows the defendant leap over the bench and attack that judge. the judge sustaining injuries but was not hospitalized. now, the defendant, facing several new charges, including seven counts of battery and battery on a protected person. he was held on a $54,000 bail, refusing to return to court on thursday. because i guess you can refuse to go to court now. the defendant was in court originally for allegedly

attacking a person with a baseball bat last year. and, he attempted to convince the judge that he wasn't a violent person, saying, quote: i'm not a rebellious person. but, if it's appropriate for you, then you have to do what you have to do. the attack occurring when the judge made it clear she was going to sentence him to prison before he could be handcuffed though, he ran at the judge in that now infamous video. today the judge is expected to continue sentencing the defendant in the baseball bat attack case. the d.a. wilson says his past record is mostly violent offenses including three convictions of three prior felonies and fine misdemeanors. after the attack the court said it would be reviewing its security measures. we will have to wait and see if he is going to be handcuffed during court today. back over to you. >> steve: he could still jump. it just would be tough. all right, todd, thank you very much. >> brian: another giant leap for mankind. privatized moon landings taking off starting with a launch early this morning. what it means for a new era of

4:32 am
while nikki haley is coming in at just about 16%. but beings look, we have been talking to a lot of iowa voters. they are telling us t they don't care about these bolts. they don't trust these polls. they are saying they don't have an impact on anything. they don't apply here because it's a caucus system. people aren't going out and voting. they are essentially going out and talking with their neighbors on caucus night. as you take a look at this voidio of nikki haley and governor desantis. voters are telling us they feel if either of them come in a strong second place, behind trump, it would still be a success for their campaigns. voters have been telling us they want both of them to stay in this race past the iowa caucuses yes iowa is important but not important if you don't win it? >> iowa is very important as an iowan, it's important but it's not the be all and end all. people win iowa then they are not president of the united states. people lose iowa and then they
4:33 am
are president of the united states. >> guys, i also asked governor desantis yesterday does he feel his relationship with donald trump can ever be salvaged at this point? and desantis said, look, it's never been personal on my end. i feel it's been trump who has always taken it more personal. from trump's perspective. he has set repeatedly he feels that desantis has been disloyal to him ever since he won governor in the state of florida. we'll send it back to you. >> brian: bill, keep in mind if desantis does not win the nomination, reagan didn't win the first time. romney didn't win the first time. got the nomination. marc contain didn't win the first time, talking about getting the nomination. so, i mean. there is light at the end of the tunnel. he is not even 50. >> bill: is he youngs a lot of republicans see him as the future. the way democrats see gavin newsom as the future of the democrat party. that's why it was great to see those two debate. even if it doesn't work out for

4:36 am
impacts my fire department. i'm having guys calling in sick. i got guys that i can see that are actually going to need some help. >> lawrence: you have to divert resources. you still got to fight fires. you have to do the task that you were appointed to in eagle pass. that's almost been diverted, right? >> we still have to take care of eagle pass. and we do take care of eagle pass. and, of course the visitors that come to eagle pass. so, would have got two jobs in one. trying to deal with the migrant crisis and deal with the city itself. one of the things that you notice is the impact on the hospital, the hospital gets overwhelmed pretty quick. when i say the hospital it's not the hospital in whole it's just
