3:03 am
the next several hours. there is the radar. any good news it's a quick mover. the morning commute is going to be nearly gobble in some of these areas. snowfall too many times 1 to 2 inches an hour going to be dangerous to be on the road way. philadelphia rain right now. new york city mainly snow. first winter storm warning in the new york city area in two years. see the future radar. this morning very heavy snow into the early afternoon and then by dinnertime it is out of here. so, again, schools are closed in a lot of these big cities. people are doing remote learning. and then travel is going to be difficult if not impossible. and i'm hoping that we'll check in with dawn kilmeade to see if she is going to be shoveling this morning. maybe we can get her on the phone. >> brian: i walked in the house yesterday, she said "where's the shovels?" i said it's been a while. we have more than just the metal one? we have three shovels ready to
3:04 am
go. >> janice: three and they all have her name on it. >> steve: one wife three shovels? >> ainsley: lots of kids though. >> janice: luckiest man alive. >> brian: kirsten might be honestly. >> ainsley: i thought your husband was going to help her. >> janice: he is available as well. >> steve: here is the problem. today is election day in new york district 3, that is the george santos area. the district. and they are telling people to stay off the roads. republicans are at disadvantage today. 80,000 people already prevoted. 11,000 more registered democrats cast the votes before they stopped counting them. >> brian: long island and queens is used to ♪ not like egg hitting an area that has never had to deal with this before. meanwhile fox news alert, we are monitoring a senate vote that could wrap up any moment. lawmakers worked through early
3:05 am
morning hours on the $95 billion foreign aid spending package. >> ainsley: here's a look at the senate floor right now. this morning's vote coming after the bill designed to send billions of dollars in foreign aid to allies, like ukraine and to israel. cleared a critical hurdle on monday. >> steve: okay. so if this bill in the senate passes the senate, it still faces an uncertain future in the house, because the speaker there, mike johnson, has made it very clear he probably won't bring it up. he is not on board with it. let's bring in chad pergram. he joins us right now. fox news senior congressional correspondent. so, chad, there are, i think i just read 17 republicans who were bucking donald trump and the rest of the party to join all the democrats on this, right? >> it's a little higher than that but, yes. you know, there is only about a third of the republican conference that is in favor of this bill.
3:06 am
this is where you have conservatives upset at mitch mcconnell the majority leader you are not listening to our conference and the only thing you care about here is getting money to ukraine. let me reset for you right now this vote is still open. they are getting very close to closing the vote. the vote is 67-28. in fact, i believe that's going to be the final vote because we believe there is one senator who is absent. this has the votes to pass. it only has a simple majority. they have two thirds for this. as you say, this then goes to the house, mike johnson the speaker has taken a rather dim view he doesn't like the fact that this lacks border provision there was this border component that was supposed to be part of this last week which blew up. he said look, we have got to deal with the border. that's why some republicans in the senate, including lindsey graham decided to vote no on this. there is one way they could possibly go above the speaker, go over the head of the speaker and that's something you are going to hear a lot about in the next couple of weeks.
3:07 am
it's called a discharge petition. this is where you get a solid number of 21. it has to be at least 218 house members, regardless of the size of the house. 431 members right now to go over the speaker and put a bill on the floor. only two of them have been successful in the past 22 years. but there is a universe of vote, certainly a lot on the democratic side and some on the republican side who could go for this. some say this is going to be our only option and get aid to israel. there are others who are big advocates for ukraine. they are going to say this is the only way to do this. the chair of the intelligence committee mike turn from her ohio has signaled as much. and mike johnson is just not for it -- >> brian: passes today and obviously ukraine needs aid right away and so does israel, nutritions is an issue. what would the time be to be if there were a chance for discharge petition in the house? >> there is a slight chance it could come out this week. i think it is really going to be at the end of the month or first
3:08 am
of march. little bit of time in the house supposed to be out next week. this might be a project for the first of march. >> what about j.d. vance yesterday said this is setting up donald trump for a possible impeachment if he wins the presidency because this money would go to ukraine and to israel through september of 2025. and trump vowed to end the war within 24 hours of becoming president and if he did this, could that be grounds for impeachment? >> well, i think if democrats win back control of the house, and if president trump wins, couple hypotheticals have to happen there first, there's a lot of things that they would probably try to find mitt romney suggested as much the other day republicans of utah that democrats in the house would find some reason to try to impeach former president trump if he is back in the oval office so, yes what you biden the president to spend money. >> steve: they have been pulling a all-nighter. when the vote is final we will
3:09 am
let y you know. >> brian: we have a lot to talk about there. see what happens when it concludes. house republicans are demanding that the justice department turn over transcripts and recordings of president biden's interview with special counsel robert hur. >> steve: , this of course, comes after the release of hur's damning report that's fueled questions about mr. biden's memory and ability to serve. >> ainsley: brooke singman is here with all the details for you, hey, brook. >> i obtained a letter house republicans wrote to attorney general garland where detailing concerns that biden may have retained sensitive documents related to specific countries involving his family's foreign business dealings. now, republicans also calling out the doj's lack of, quote: even handed justice over the decision not to recommend charges against biden. special counsel robert hur pointing to biden's mental fitness for the decision, calling the president a, quote: sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory struggling to remember events and strange at times to read and relay his own notebook entries.
3:10 am
edward lawrence asked the white house about his health. >> when can we talk to the president's doctor and how come they haven't been asked to come out here and talk with us given the hur all right that challenges the president's mental fitness. >> i have said the medical doctor, the president's doctor is going to do a physical. is he going -- and he has always put forth in the last two years a detailed -- detailed memo on the president's -- on the president's -- obviously, -- medical -- physical. and so i'm just going to leave it there. >> carley: meanwhile on capitol hill today former hunter biden associate tony bobulinski will give a closed door testimony in the impeachment. he met with president biden several times. bobulinski telling me, quote: why is joe biden blatantly lying to the american people and to the world by claiming that he did not meet with me face to face. he should call his son hunter and brother jim as they can remind him of the facts. i'm told bobulinski's testimony could last up to 8 hours today.
3:11 am
guys? >> brian: right. at one point he begged jake tapper to give him a call. he wants these questions. he wants to be challenged. and i think if democrats like goldman want to goatee off on bobulinski. self-made multi millionaire talking to ron johnson set in an investigation when they lost the majority and lost that georgia seat. this thing went dormant. it is heating up now. >> that's right, brian. tony bobulinski has been trying to come forward with when it evidence with text messages, emails since 2020. we were reporting on this back in october 2020 recollection of meeting with president biden that may of 2017. of course, the white house has repeatedly denied that but, you know, we reported on these text messages which kind of documented the meeting between bobulinski and biden so, we will see what he says today the house republicans have a lot of questions. >> ainsley: bobulinski had all this information on donald trump
3:12 am
every network would be interviewing him and try get him to, you know, excoriate the president. but that's not happening here. thank you so much, brook. >> thanks, guys. >> steve: you know what, given what robert hur's report said last week, and tony bobulinski said, look, i met him a couple of times. all joe biden has do is say, you know what? i guess i forgot. because as robert hur's -- his findings that 345-page report said, joe biden has got a lousy memory maybe that's what they're talking about. hey, the white house asked the president and he said i don't remember them. it will be interesting to see what he has to say. >> ghost writer who interviewed president biden destroyed all of those tapes, you said they were able to recover them. >> brian: they went to the hard drive and recovered almost all of them. i want to turn myself. in i deleted the tapes when i heard robert hur got assigned to investigate. they said give me your computer and decided not to charge him because he was cooperative after he wasn't cooperative. then they asked him who told you
3:13 am
to blank those tapes he? said no one. okay. >> you interview a sitting president. you don't destroy those tapes. >> brian: i would think. steve. >> ainsley: unless there is an investigation. >> brian: which would be a problem. >> steve: if those tapes exist and they do because robert hur heard them. information, on the tape, the ghost writer is talking to the current president and he goes, hey, look at all the secret stuff i found in a box downstairs. it's all top secret. so essentially joe biden confessed to the fact that he was in possession willful possession of that stuff it. would be much easier to get those from the -- not the department of justice, i guess technologically they would belong to the ghost writer. >> ainsley: what are you going to say? >> brian: so the lawyer, joe biden's lawyer spent the weekend. >> steve: bauer? >> brian: bob bauer spent the weekend eviscerating robert hur's report saying i was in the room giving his testimony that's
3:14 am
not how i remember it. even margaret brennan said okay should we hear the tapes and my my own decision? >> steve: make it easy. >> brian: i don't see a reason forever that you got yourself in trouble there the fractures a little different. if you are going to impugn robert hur, then you are going to have to answer the question can you get the tapes? i have seen a lot of donald trump deposition tapes. they are everywhere. you can get them for a certain dollar figure and maybe even on donald trump's website. just a quick thing on the tony bobulinski situation. even rob walker said if joe biden forgot, that joe biden met with the cefc chinese executive energy in 2017, so even rob walker was not cooperative is going to say what tony bobulinski is going to confirm today. >> ainsley: even merrick garland's former professor, did you all read this was saying -- he was complaining about merrick garland keeping robert hur on after donald trump. because he is now investigating joe biden and he is the one who said he had a poor memory. and so this law professor said, that he was trying to do -- he
3:15 am
was trying to play in the middle, play it safely. and he shouldn't have done that and also about biden's age, as brook was saying. he is going to have a physical before the election. but they are not committing -- the white house is not committing to letting the media talk to the doctor. >> brian: which is crazy, you remember the doctor after trump, congressman from texas. sat there and took questions for 45 minutes. >> ainsley: jackson. >> brian: they mocked him for saying donald trump is in great condition and everyone laughed. >> ainsley: let's talk about the migrant issue because we have more medicine lines to get. to say migrants are not the only ones crossing the border into texas. border patrol agents arresting two killers over the weekend. their convictions include murder and robbery. meanwhile, in washington, today house republicans set to hold another impeachment vote against dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas unlike the first time today's vote is expected to be successful since house majority leader steve scalise is back in washington after receiving cancer treatments. police are searching for the

>> lawrence: the damage they did to your building. >> the building was 16 and a half thousand dollars with windows doors and locks. that kind of stuff. >> >> lawrence: how do you survive. >> he is it supports myself and my wife and family. it's been around 28 years. i'm not going to give into a bunch of kids who want to steal from us. >> you are sleeping in the store. >> evan for the last month. we can't have this happening on a regular basis. >> lawrence: this is what provides for your family. >> it makes me angry. it makes me really angry. i'm angry with the kids who do this. i'm angry with the parents who let their kids do this. i don't know what the answer is. >> lawrence: you decided to make this investment into this security operation technology, why make the investment? >> without security, if we have break-ins, if we have issues, we have no business. >> lawrence: you look at the numbers, major crimes are up. why do you think that's happening? do you think it's because of a lack of law and order? >> and when this is something we could sit and talk on for hours. you know, the crime is ramping
3:41 am
up. there is no consequences. it's not that they're not getting caught. they are just getting let back out. >> lawrence: so you have a unique job. your job is to come up with technology to prevent criminals from even acting. >> here in memphis, tennessee, there has been no shortage of attempts to slow down the lawless. innovation is a big part of what we do. >> lawrence: tell me how you use threat detection? >> we will play overcome. >> video monitoring is active. >> just to let someone know -- it could be someone innocuous, like a you can with aer. they don't know they are getting a little close for comfort. really these guys are scared of nothing. okay? so, that is when they get hit with a sound weapon. [loud sound] though got inside you deploy the fog. >> simple premise is if you can't see it, you can't steal
3:42 am
it. if a criminal knows that a business is armed with security fog, it's almost what's the point in going in? >> lawrence: so we have heard about all the technology. let's see a demo of the fog. >> lawrence: wow. >> if you can't see it, you can't steal it. >> lawrence: i can't see anything. how busy is it for you? >> there is no shortage of smash and grab type of things. we in our actively deploying all of it stuff. not just here in memphis but across the country. we're businesses that are fed up and scared, frankly. >> lawrence: the bottom line is the folks need investment into these measures. if you are going to defund the police there has to be some type of alternative. shouldn't be on the backs of business owners. they have already started to
3:43 am
boarding up. the question is how long will they survive this crisis going on in memphis. i will send it back to you guys. i know you have breaking news. >> brian: lawrence be with you in a second. >> a fox news alert now. the senate has >> brian: just passed the $95 billion foreign aid deal. passed 70-29. this is money for ukraine and israel. and some more. the big story was they wanted some border money in that. but the border money really went by the boards when they -- bipartisan bill was kicked to the curb last week. so mitch mcconnell put it forward even when the majority of his caucus was not for it. so, now it goes over to the house. can. >> ainsley: speaker johnson said he was slamming this package for excluding the border security provisions. the senate bill he said is silent on the most pressing issue facing our country, talking about the border. he says he is not going to bring it to the floor if it passes the senate, which did did. but they could find a way to go around the speaker. >> steve: he says the reason that the house is not going to
3:44 am
bring it up is because it needs border security stuff, which ironically was in the senate bill last week, but, of course, that was kicked to the curb because a bunch of republicans bailed on it because donald trump didn't like it. according to punch bowl this morning, house leadership believes that they cannot bring this particular senate bill to the house floor if johnson wants to remain speaker. in other words, if they bring it up in the house, he will be gone. >> brian: what's interesting they could do the discharge petition, which would allow the whole thing just to go to the senate floor, excuse me, the house floor. chad told us last week -- last hour that it will probably go next -- march 1st when the house goes back in session. and that would allow the speaker not to put it up, keep his position. and to see if the majority of congress would go for this aid. so, look, they say 60 billion of this goes to kyiv.
3:45 am
14 billion goes to israel. 10 billion for humanitarian aid for civilians in conflict zones, including the palestinians over in gaza. to me, you have to -- i mean, in kyiv, i think one of the big objections and i think it's got a lot of merit to it is who is monitoring the money? you write the check. who is following it. and the one thing i think both sides would benefit from is to have respected monitors, make sure every bullet in every rocket gets to the frontline. >> ainsley: that's what mazi phillips when you were interviewing her she said i'm for the aid going to these other countries. i just want to know how it's being spent. j.d. vance sent out a memo yesterday. it was circulating. and senator paul -- rand paul was supporting the memo because it brings up an interesting point. it's because billions of dollars. federal tax dollars will go to ukraine. and that is -- that money would go through after the election september 2025. trump has vowed to end the war in ukraine within 24 hours of being president, whether or not that would happen.
3:46 am
>> brian: not's going to happen. >> steve: right. >> ainsley: that means the fund would go end. if he did this, it could provide grounds for the democrats to impeach him again and undermine his administration. >> brian: that is huge leap of logic. to me, it helps the president. because it gets it off the table. if you want leverage against russia to strike a deal, you can't do it from, well, ukraine is out of money anyway. so a point of weakness. vladimir putin already on the march in mull dove. have a is he taking more of georgia. just a report today from macron that he is infiltrating into the european elections. so, if you don't stop him here, they are going to be nato nation will have no choice but to american troops there. >> steve: brian, you make a great point. that is why it is so extraordinary that so many republican senators. >> brian: nuts. >> steve: voted against. this you know, essentially when we went on the air 46 minutes ago, there were 3 b. 17, 18 republican senators breaking with the balance of their party to join the democrats. and there you see chuck schumer,
3:47 am
the top democrat in the senate right now. mitch mcconnell, john thune of south dakota, joni ernst of iowa and shellie had moore capito all broke with the other republicans to support the democrats on this. lindsey graham has been bulking on it. he actually backs now donald trump's plan for foreign aid essentially as being a loan rather than money. the other thing about all this money to ukraine that looks like a gigantic number but i have heard a number of people say a lot of that money actually stays in the united states. >> brian: because they buy our weapon systems we replenish. buy from american companies. >> ainsley: let's bring in chad pergram fox news senior congressional correspondent knows all of these players and so well versed on what is happening there on the floor. chad, what do you expect to happen now in the house? pass the senate and now it goes to the house. >> yeah. we don't think that this is going to come up right away in the house of representatives. house speaker mike johnson sent a statement last night saying that the status quo from the
3:48 am
senate was unacceptable. he wanted some border provisions attached to this bill. remember that was the plan that was the ask. that was the demand by republicans when president biden made this initial request to help out ukraine and israel and taiwan. mitch mcconnell made the decision saying, you know, that's the decision. we need to get border security. so they took this detour into these border talks for several months. and that blew up last week. and so some democrats are saying we don't know what you're for because you ask for border security. again, we can argue the merits or demerits of that bill, but they provided that. now republicans are saying there is no border security on this. so we don't think it's going to come up in the house right away. >> brian: let me ask you something on this package want money border patrol overtime and being able to hire more people. auto could they have come up with some border money that just kept all the other controversial parts about asylum and about building soft sided facilities
3:49 am
and all these other things that are somewhat debatable? can we just get more border money. should more border money have been there for border patrol? >> you had a lot of republicans saying that they weren't just willing to throw money at this problem. you know, so this is what was so vexing to many democrats and a lot of republicans that nobody knew quite exactly what could pass and what would be acceptable. >> steve: a lot of this is the fact that donald trump is against this. and, chad, we saw this play out last week where donald trump was against the bipartisan international security bill that was ukraine, israel, parts of parts of the pacific and also our southern border. >> that's right. and those statements, i think that that started to contour some of the positioning in the senate. you know, you had lindsey graham one of the most ardent supporters of aid to ukraine suddenly say he was opposed to the bill because it didn't include border security although
3:50 am
he and his staff were dialed in on this bill. i think this is very telling about lindsey graham here is that he is not going to munich security conference right now, which the senate was supposed to be out this week and bipartisan senators were supposed to go there. is he going to the border. so, again, the former president's comments have changed the politics. >> brian: yeah. they have. i understand what is he talking about. the other thing is, if you look at -- if you look at russian aid, russia is now asking -- hired nepal army, nuclear weapon please fighters to come fight. that's how low they are on people to fight keep in mind huge adean beat the soviets with mock sins passed $95 billion in aid to ukraine in israel now let's see what happens in the house. >> ainsley: it's been almost two years this war has been going on with russia.
3:51 am
>> brian: they said it was going to last four days. >> steve: didn't work out. thank you, chad. >> ainsley: let's go to another fox news alert. we are seeing more attacks from the houthis in the red sea as defense secretary lloyd austin is still in the hospital. >> steve: all right, trey yingst brings us up to date. is he live in tel aviv. trey? >> hey, guys, good morning. iran backed houthi rebels are continuing attacks against ships in the red sea according to u.s. central command. a scoring ship that was traveling from brazil ironically to iran was targeted with two missiles launched from yemen early this morning. the houthis claimed the vessel was linked to the americans in reality this was greek-owned. claimed the attack was in vindication of the oppressed palestinian people. 130 days into the war between israel and hamas, that conflict continues to influence global military and political actions. on monday, president biden met with jordan's king abdullah. the pair calling for a two-state solution here and discussing the expected israeli offensive
