7:00 am
that they're issue level three advisories because of rampant gang violence and high homicide rates. they insist they're safe for the tourist hot spots which they have been known to be. so you have that. >> dana: high risk travel advisory for nothing. >> bill: off we ride. >> dana: speaker mike johnson said to hold a weekly press conference with the push to impeach homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas over the border crisis. front and center of vote is expected today in the house. welcome a again to another hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning. how are you doing? >> dana: great. how are you? >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. house floor now open for the day paving the way for votes on two articles of impeachment. time is of the essence. in the last week alone, illegal immigrants overwhelming cities with chaos and crime. one of those migrants charged in
7:01 am
the beating of two police officers in new york expected back before a judge any time today. this as the d.a. presents evidence to a grand jury. all of this now adding pressure to that impeachment vote in the house. >> this is malfeasance. active neglect on the part of the secretary and since he won't do the honorable thing and resign, the house needs to hold him accountable by impeachment. the only choice we have. >> dana: over in the senate the border security bill all but breaks down facing bipartisan backlash. what will congress do now? aishah hosni live on capitol hill with more. >> good morning to you. the past 24 hours have been nothing short of stunning here. we knew the border deal was dead on arrival in the house. not likely to make it out of the senate. republicans are poised to tank a procedural vote tomorrow. the author of this big bipartisan deal, the republican author, is likely to vote no on
7:02 am
it as well as well as the senate majority leader -- minority leader. senate republicans met in a closed door meeting that got so heated at myself that we could actually hear screaming coming from inside the room. when leader mitch mcconnell emerged from the room, he told me that he had a great discussion and that the conference will keep on talking. senator james langford, the lead negotiator told me it's clear the majority of the conference is not ready to vote on this thing. there is still interest in adding real amendments and shaping into something perhaps that they can stomach. he insists the bill is not dead but it looks like he may also vote no tomorrow just for the sake of party unity. democrats are already lashing out on the lead democrat negotiator chris murphy tweeting this. honestly, this is so embarrassing. you told us you wanted a bipartisan border fix. appointed a republican negotiator. we got a deal.
7:03 am
stop the drama. now there was three senators on the left also rejected the bill. the goal here was to get half of each conference on board. that is not going to happen. leader schumer is expected to go on and put this on the floor for a closure vote tomorrow. it is expected to fail as all eyes shift to the house where we're watching this impeachment in a few hours, dana. >> dana: thank you, aishah. >> bill: border officials telling us the fastest growing group of illegals comes from china. some are said to use apps like tiktok to help them sneak across and have smugglers tell them how and where to cross. gillian is live on that. >> chinese migrants are the fastest growing demographic crossing the u.s. southern border into the united states. one factor, the state department has been slashing chinese visas for years. >> it's an area where we believe
7:04 am
there is opportunity for shared cooperation. we have about 300,000 chinese students studying in the united states. our visa process is quite rigorous and quite solid. >> it turns out all most migrants need is access to social media where they can find thousands of video tutorials how to evade border security and cross into the u.s. illegally. >> we've known about this social media companies being complicit with human trafficking. all you have to do on any one of those platforms is type in a phrase to find traffickers to take you anywhere in the united states for a price. >> as the relationship between beijing and washington turns south between 2016 and 2022, the most year for which the numbers are available, the u.s. has slashed visas for chinese nationals by 2 million per year.
7:05 am
republicans say that policy coupled with lax border enforcement has created a perfect storm. >> the message has gone out we have this open border and they are being encouraged to come and leaving places acrows the entire world to come here. >> in 2022, again the most recent data that's available, bill, turns out 160,000 chinese nationals were given non-student visa, the state department says they might want to be taking that number back up again. we'll have to see how republicans on capitol hill react to that news. >> bill: thank you, gillian turner, state department with us. >> dana: joining us on all of this texas congressman tony gonzalez. the "wall street journal" writes on january 30th impeaching mayorkas achieves nothing. a policy dispute doesn't qualify as a high crime and misdemeanor. >> if house republicans can't impeach mayorkas what can we do? we should have impeached him a year ago.
7:06 am
it is clear that he has dismantled the border security on our country and it has to change. will it change policy overnight? no. it will show that house republicans are united in making sure that the administration makes a change at dhs whether it's impeachment, resign, whether it's policy changes. something has to change because 300,000 people coming over illegally in december is not the answer. >> bill: your district stretches across that border. you know it very well. why are you against this border bill in the senate? >> i haven't said i'm against the border bill. i said i'm against a bill that does nothing to tackle the problem. i want a bill that is real, meaningful, and solutions. a bill just to say you got a bill done i have no interest in that. a bill being against a bill just to say you are against the bill i have no interest in that. what i'm looking for is i want more deportation flights,
7:07 am
deport, deport, deport. that's how we get out of this crisis. by the way, joe biden got us into this crisis and joe biden can get us out of this crisis by just putting money, taking money from other parts of dhs and putting it in ice to deport people that are here illegally. >> dana: kyrsten sinema was one of the people part of the senate negotiating team on special report last night trying to push back on the notion that the bill would allow 5,000 immigrants in per day. here is what she said? >> to prevent what is currently occurring, which is mass numbers of people being released into the interior, we created this authority. the border emergency authority that says nope, we just shut it down because it is too many people for us to process that quickly and turn away. our bill ends catch and release by creating this new authority that requires people to be detained or be under supervision before their case is resolved. >> dana: this bill is going to fail tomorrow and the
7:08 am
republicans are going to vote it down in the senate. there is no legislation currently that would move through. are you satisfied with that? >> i'm not because people in my district, people all over the country demand an answer today. we need help today. i get it. congress has done nothing for decades. shocking that congress is going to continue to do nothing. where is the president in this deal? the president can implement changes absolutely today. there are some good things in that bill. part of what that bill highlights is we do need more immigration judges to expedite these cases. we do need more ice flights and ice funding to expedite removal of these people. they can implement these things today. i won't stop until we get meaningful solutions. americans every day are dying in this country and we all know the problem. we need solutions. i'm encouraged to see what the senate did. they have to do more. they have to do something that is meaningful and can ultimately get signed into law. >> bill: sir, thank you for your
7:09 am
time. if this bill doesn't fly and you can argue whether it passes or not, whether or not the laws are enforced. republicans argue this administration doesn't enforce the law and hasn't done it for three years. if this dies you have nine more months of the situation on the southern border. nine more months of 6,000, 7,000 people a day. think about where this story is going to be come november. >> we can't afford nine months, bill. >> bill: what do you do? if you don't buy this one, what's the solution? >> i think you pick up the pieces and you find something that focuses on border security. what happens is everyone wants to add their piece to it and then all of a sudden this 10-page bill becomes 370 pages. set all that aside. set your politics aside and say what can we do to secure our country today? maybe that's ten, 15 pages of just pure border security. that is what i'm interested in. >> bill: thank you for your time and we'll speak again soon.
7:10 am
>> dana: the presidential campaign heading out west to nevada. the contest hardly cut and dried. there is confusion. >> bill: oregon was the first state to decriminalize drugs four years ago. the fentanyl crisis may be causing it to have a lot of second thoughts. >> dana: the voice of a country music legend goes silent. his sound track stays forever. we remember the life and legendary career of toby keith. ♪ i should have been a cowboy, should have learned to rope and ride ♪ ♪ wearing my six shooter, riding my pony on a cattle drive ♪ -ugh. -here, i'll take that. woo hoo! ensure max protein, 30 grams protein, 1 gram sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals. and a new fiber blend with a prebiotic.

>> dana: right now on capitol hill the any head of the faa is going before the house aviation
7:16 am
subcommittee. lawmakers are expected to press him on airline safety coming after several mishaps with boeing aircraft. >> bill: what if they held a primary and it didn't count? that's what they're doing in nerve. the democratic primary in nevada today and republican primary. three years ago the state changed the rules getting away from the caucus and go to primary. they did. the state party said let's do the caucus anyway. the caucus matters. we'll explain why in a moment. thursday is the republican caucus. today is the primary. i know it's massively confusing. we'll sort through it. you had an option as a candidate months ago to select whether you wanted to be in the caucus or the primary. nikki haley chose the primary. that's today. mike pence is on that ballot. he dropped out months ago. then on thursday you got ryan
7:17 am
binkley. what's the prize? polls are now open. the caucus comes up on thursday. you can participate. what a country. you can participate in both, all right? that's your option. registration deadline. this is what's important. the end of thursday night we'll find out 26 delegates will be rewarded from the caucuses and in all likelihood go to donald trump. we are sorting through the maze. good morning alicia. >> doing the best i can. thanks. it's important for people to know voters can participate in both the primary and caucus. the candidates cannot. they had to choose one. former president trump is not on the ballot as you mentioned. nikki haley is. even if she wins she gets no delegates. she hasn't been here since
7:18 am
october and that's because the state legislature moved to a primary system with the nevada gop party opposing it saying they will still only award delegates through a caucus, which is on thursday. candidates may only participate in one of the contests, as i mentioned. trump is doing the caucus. haley the primary. haley and other republicans have been critical of the $55,000 fee a candidate must pay in the caucus. to be in the caucus. also accused the nevada gop for being in the tank for trump. >> we have not spent a dime nor energy on nevada. we made the decision early on we were not going to pay $55,000 to a trump entity that to participate in a process that was rigged for trump. >> how do you rig a caucus? everybody has equal opportunity to campaign in the state of nevada. the fact that nikki haley's team believes that the caucus is
7:19 am
rigged, it's a great sound bite. at the end of the day i think she is kind of kicking herself in the butt for not engaging in the caucus. >> this is why. there is a risk for haley if there is a big showing for none of these candidates option on the ballot. republican governor and trump supporters says he will choose. elections officials tell fox news it created a ton of confusion and distrust among voters who received a primary ballot in the mail without trump's name on it. write-ins will not be counted. the democrats are having a primary today which joe biden is expected to win. >> bill: clear as mud. thanks, job well done today. you're good. you're good. it's the system. >> dana: it's nevada. and if you haven't had enough poll ickx check -- check out

7:21 am
the move for a sharp rise in overdose deaths. the author of the book the least of us, two tales of america and hope in a time of fentanyl and meth author. it caught my attention you wrote a piece in the "washington post" called the fentanyl crisis is being driven by supply, not demand. that caught my attention. you do have some people that are experts say well, actually if america didn't have so much demand we wouldn't have so much supply coming into the country. make your case on why you think supply is the main issue. >> the opioids and fentanyl is an opioid, supply creating demand is really always been the issue because opioids create such a dependence and change our brain chemistry of the people who use it. so that was the case during the opioid epidemic when mass amounts of pills were prescribed by doctors across the country and that left us with an enormous new opioid addicted
7:22 am
population of americans. that supply kind of -- the supply -- source of supply now is the mexican trafficking world and the supply is no longer prescription pain pills as much as it is, of course now fentanyl, which is being produced in just staggering quantities and there is really covering the country in the same way the pills have. fentanyl adds to that story a little bit. fentanyl is being mixed into all kinds of other drugs, cocaine, methamphetamine, occasional will i marijuana and you are finding fentanyl creating demand among people who really do not know what they are taking, number one, and really don't want to take fentanyl yet these folks are either dying and if they don't die and if they survive the first exposure they are becoming fentanyl addicts. fentanyl takes people up to such high tolerances that they are
7:23 am
now terrified of quitting and so it promotes demand through this enormous tolerance. that has also created by the enormous supplies we're seeing inundate the country coast to coast. >> dana: listen to michael block on "america's newsroom" yesterday talking how easy and cheap it is to get it. >> it is $0.25 a pill right now. that's the street value. you can talk to people all over the place, it's $0.25. you know, those numbers are just numbers on a page until you start meeting families. this is an incredibly powerful narcotic. it is one that will take people's ability to rationalize and make decisions properly. >> dana: what do you think officials should do? >> well, let me just say one thing about what he said. i would say can't comment on the price of pills in oregon as i've done no reporting there. it is very clear that the pills,
7:24 am
these are counterfeit pills coming in from mexico, are coming in by the tens of millions. and so the price may vary but clearly what is happening is these pills are coming in in such quantities that they are, in fact, creating and exacerbating demand simply by the fact they are there so in such quantities. i think in general in many towns in america what we have seen is a turning away from the use of law enforcement in this fight. largely because people are afraid of repeating mistakes of the drug war. and i would say that the problem during the drug war was not that we used law enforcement. the problem was that we only used law enforcement. and now we have this kind of reaction that takes us far, far away from that. i think law enforcement has an absolute role in interdiction.
7:25 am
it also has a role in dealing with people who are in addiction. you are seeing experiments now, fascinating experiments using jail in different ways, using jail as places of recovery. drug courts and all that. >> dana: i follow your work and thank you for being here today. we'll stay in touch. thank you. >> you're welcome. >> bill: great guest. important topic. so there is breaking news now from the federal appeals court that has now ruled former president donald trump does not have immunity. this in the january 6th matter that deals directly with the special prosecutor jack smith. the decision marks the second time in as many months that judges have turned away trump. now the trial had been set for march. but it was postponed about a week ago. the judge did not set a new date. whether that changes we do not know. but you can expect appeals from the republican nominee leader
7:26 am
that ultimately could reach the u.s. supreme court. jonathan turley with us now. sir, if you can hear me okay, does this surprise you, yes or no? >> no, this is the result that some of us predicted. the panel was very skeptical of these arguments. what former president trump was advancing was the sweeping and unprecedented claim of immunity. and it's not surprising that this panel rejected it. the interesting thing about this opinion is that they cite the impeachment and quote from it as saying the president sought to incite this effort to overturn the election. and that is going to go now forward. the most practical impact of this appeal was indeed the delay that it caused. it was very important for the trump team to try to push this trial back.
7:27 am
they succeeded in doing that, as you mentioned. now, the next stage here is that they can ask for review of the entire court what's called an in bank petition. that has to be reviewed and voted on even if they reject it. that will take some time. and then they will no doubt appeal to the supreme court, which is -- now has a considerable stack on the desks of these justices, including election-related cases. >> dana: jonathan, if you are in an emergency room and they have triage and the most serious cases go to the top. is that how the supreme court would consider these cases? >> well, it's very interesting. an excellent question, dana. the interesting dynamic about this case is that jack smith has been telling every court it's absolutely urgent that we move this trial forward and he made
7:28 am
it clear that he wants this president tried and convicted before the election. the supreme court clearly didn't share that urgency. it refused to do that. and so it's not clear they will feel even greater urgency now. the march date is not on the calendar anymore and as we move toward the election date, it gets more controversial to have a trial of this kind within a couple of months of the election. so we'll have to see how the supreme court deals with this. the outcome is not -- is surprising for many of us, but what remains the unknown is how this will change the schedule and dynamic of the case. >> bill: just to keep the flow chart going here, aren't we 48 hours away from oral arguments before the high court on a different matter? and that is the colorado ballot decision where a group of unelected judges decided to keep trump off the ballot that?
7:29 am
that's thursday, right? >> yeah, we are. that is going to be a huge case. many of us believe the court is going to set aside the colorado decision. the question is whether the three justices on the left will join in in what most of us hope will be a rejection of colorado. this is a very dangerous theory that recently came into vogue. i don't believe it is well founded historically or in text. but the question for chief justice roberts will be likely to be whether he can eke out a unanimous decision. if the court ever spoke with one voice, this is that moment. the moment the court is designed for. and so the court will look at three questions. i think roberts will try to hone the questions to try to garner that type of broader support. >> dana: was there a better
7:30 am
legal argument that the trump team could have put forward in this case? >> well, they went for the whole thing here. very surprising. because the question of presidential immunity has been batted around in the supreme court for decades. the most important period involved president richard nixon. and the court did recognize presidential immunity but it also had some caveats. we saw those exceptions come to bear. for example, bill clinton lost another sweeping argument over immunity. and what the panel here is saying is that it just won't go there. it said look, whatever immunity you had as president, you don't have it as a citizen. so you were now donald trump, not president donald trump and we aren't going to extend this immunity to you. they'll get a lot of support for
7:31 am
that. the question, however, is whether the opinion goes too far on the edges. that could cause concern for some on the supreme court. they may want to tack back a little even if they ultimately reject -- accept the conclusion. >> bill: sir, thank you for jumping on the phone. stand by one moment. we go to the d.o.j. and dave i spunt to get more on that. >> we're waiting some reaction from jack smith's team to see if the special counsel is weighing in. this is clearly a win for him. unanimous decision as professor turley was just discussing with you. this is a 57-page order. this issue was argued before the circuit court of appeals back on january 9th almost one month later we are getting this order today. so we thought there may have been some sort of internal argument perhaps between the three justices that heard this
7:32 am
specific case. but on page 57, it ends with quote finally we are unpersuaded by his argument, meaning donald trump's argument that this prosecution is barred by double jeopardy principles accordingly the order of the district court is affirmed. now the district court ruling that trump is not immune from any sort of prosecution here. this just begs the question, bill and dana, when donald trump will go to trial. the trial was scheduled here to begin in washington, d.c. on march 4th. that has essentially stopped since mid-december to allow the trump team to prepare for this. now that the u.s. court of appeals has ruled against the former president, he has the right to take it to the supreme court. from what we understand he has up to 90 days. it is likely he will wait until that point. i'm also told by sources in jack
7:33 am
smith's office i was told a couple of weeks ago the special counsel will try to get it expedited to the supreme court. he wants to get it back on track as soon as possible. >> bill: it's breaking news. thanks to both of you. it is tuesday. on thursday you will get these arguments from the u.s. supreme court on colorado. so we'll see where it goes. maybe turley is right in the end. maybe this is the moment when john roberts brings everybody together and can we vote this way? >> dana: it with as just last week that justice sotomayor gets heartburn from being a justice. these are big, difficult topics and they have to do something about it. follow the bouncing ball with us and we'll keep you posted. >> bill: we are waiting for one of the suspects in new york after the attack on two nypd officers near times square. they appear in court today. the manhattan d.a. alvin bragg admitted over the weekend some of the migrants involved in the
7:34 am
meeting were still at large. apparently three at them at least took a bus to arizona. multiple ice sources say agents have arrested them at the greyhound bus station and we'll see when they're brought back to new york. 33 past. dana. >> i am a democrat but don't agree with the sanctuary city policies. doesn't make any sense whatsoever. this is insane. it is not good policy, obviously. a sanctuary city should not mean protecting criminals. >> dana: democratic new york city council member slamming the city's handling of the migrant crisis as new york city plans to hand out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families, $53 million going to the migrants is double what new york state spends on its veterans and the mayor says it will save the city money. bryan llenas has more from new york city.
7:35 am
>> new york city says to start 500 migrants will receive the pre-paid cards that can only be used at grocery stores for food and baby supplies. if it expands to all migrants, it will cost the city $53 million. to put that number in perspective, it is more than double what the new york state is budgeting to spend in 2025 for its department of veterans services or its office of national and community service or division of human rights and it's more than double what new york state plans to spend on its state cancer services program. new york city says each migrant will get $12.52 per day to purchase food and baby supplies. that's about 40% more than what the average low income american got per day in government food stamps or snap benefits in 2022 at $7.59 per person per day. now the city argues the pre-paid debit cards will save it $7 million in costs for feeding
7:36 am
migrants. overall new york city and state will spend $15 billion through 2025 on the migrant crisis providing a laundry list of services including shelter, legal help, english classes, mental health, public education and healthcare. look, currently healthcare is free for migrants in the city. it is the most costly expense accounting for about half of the 4.7 billion that the city spent on the migrant crisis this past year. experts warn the cost of services for illegal migrants from new york to california are simply unsustainable. >> when the government spends money on welfare or other social services for illegal immigrants has to come from somewhere. either you raise taxes to pay for it or you borrow the money and pay it back later with interest, or you take money away from some other social services. often from needy americans. >> according to one estimate
7:37 am
illegal immigration will cost u.s. taxpayers $150 billion a year. dana. >> dana: thank you. >> bill: to the economy. federal research chair says he is in no rush to cut interest rates despite the pain it is causing for home buyers. charles payne with us now. good morning. this is what got the attention 60 minutes sunday night. the fed chair. >> is inflation dead? >> i wouldn't go quite so far as that. what i can say is that inflation has come down in the last year and we're making good progress. the prices of some things will decline. others will go up. we don't expect to see a decline in the overall price level. >> bill: curious about your reaction and analysis. >> people talk about inflation like it's a movement. we're still seeing price increases. they increase at a slower pace.
7:38 am
if they go from 0 to ten they're still ten. then going from ten to 11, okay. the pace has slowed but the prices continue to go up. that's the dill emma right there. he made some mistakes. an avalanche of money we've never seen before that sparked the inflation spike that we thought we would never cismd it had been 40 years. a tough thing to try to bring down. >> dana: he said wages have gone up but not keeping pace. the cost of all these other things has gone up so much and housing, it's making people -- >> the friday jobs report. the headline everyone saw just like wages came in much higher than expected. you know what else happened? work week dropped considerably more than wages went up. so guess what happened? people made less money in january than they did in december. you would never have guessed
7:39 am
that looking at the headlines. >> bill: average rate on a 30 year fixed is over 7%. all right. that's where we are at the moment here. i'm watching the dow. we're at 38,480. every day we tick to another record high. now, is the economy better than people are giving it cite? >> the economy is not the stock market. let's begin with that. the dow moves up by the biggest components when those stocks go up they have overweight on the dow. it is a terrible thing. by the same token the s&p moves overweighted by the highest components. an example. yesterday was one of the worst days ever in terms of participation by stocks. handful of stocks, there are a handful of stocks going up huge skewing this whole thing.
7:40 am
it is remarkable to watch. so even the stock market is not the economy or even the stock market. it is not. ten stocks and 490 stocks. it is amazing these days. you can't use that as a gauge. in fact, in some ways this is working against the federal reserve. people look at their 401ks and feel like they have extra money they may spend it. the whole time powell and company have wanted us to curb spending. that hasn't happened. >> dana: more on fox business with charles payne. prince harry touches down in the u.k. amid his father's cancer diagnosis. how will this shift the dynamic in the royal family? we have a royal expert who will join us next. >> the new monarch in charles iii. cancer serious enough his son who is estranged from is flying to london. i'm afraid, i think it is a serious situation. that's great. i know, i've bee telling everyone.
