"the wall street journal" reports that alec baldwin is going to be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the deadly shooting on the rust movie set. cinematographer was killed in october of 2021 when baldwin shot a prop gun, which had been loaded with a real bullet. the shooting was determined as an accident. baldwin maintains it was not his fault. he has sued other people on the crew who handled and loaded the gun. that's just coming at us. baldwin charged with involuntary

manslaughter. now this, the prime minister of new zealand has stepped down and leaves office on february 7. why highlight a resignation in a very small country on the other side of the world? because prime minister was brought down by the exact same issues that tarnished liberals in north america. they've turned into a huge political series of liabilities. in response to covid, ardurn sealed off the whole country. that top-down draconian stance was popular and then people got fed up and the economy suffered and chronic labor shortage and inflation. does that sound familiar in progressives take the hit. crime again, ardern's policy was popular at first and tighten new zealand's gun law after a christ shooting in a mosque and police

defund the police movement in america, she scrapped plans for a more rigorous police respond in new zealand and now there's an explosion of crime like here. gangs are engaged in ram raids where cars are rammed into local grocery stores and then they're robbed and stolen from. it's just as unsettling there as it is here. yesterday's policies on crime and covid have come back to haunt the politician who is put them in place. one last point, in perk, florida's -- america, florida's governor desantis went the other way and clamped down on crime and supported the police and opened the state from covid restrictions very quickly. he's now winning and maybe headed for higher office. jacinda ardern is out and headed for retirement. third hour of varney starts right now. ♪

stuart: bill marr sounding the alarm about what he calls our failing education system. >> i don't know what you think your kids are learning in school, but i'm almost sure it's nothing. they still teach them how to read, barely. like they didn't let you out the door ovhigh school unless you had a sort of basic understanding of the world and our place in it and what happened before us and basic things and we were afraid if we didn't do well that there would be terrible repercussions like getting left back. nowadays they'd never use that term. oh my god, you're stigmatizing people. stuart: that is quite an indictment of our education system as it stands. jimmy failen with us this morning. you're a dad and share that assessment of the school s? >> i do. we have one kid and decided to stop breeding after the first report card. we should get a dog. i don't know that we're helping society. kidding, my kid is smarter than me. you can't tell that joke on tv

if you have a dumb kid but ours is smart. right now if you look at test scores and how they compare to the rest of the world, the average inner city school student thinks 2+ 2 equals jell-o. they have no idea busher showing them drag sh shows and all typef pronoun language forced on them. i'm not against tolerance or inclusion but we're recruiting them. kids don't get out of bed, okay, knowing that they have an option of trans-ideology on the table or anything else we're going after with all of the crt garbage because kids are not calibrated to think that way unless parents dump their politics on to the kids. that's the issue. it's like right now what bill maher is saying toosh true and left is too crazy for him and he count doesn't want to own this and there's no detriment to a kid where at that age is

learning to add numbers before learning to subtract their gender and he's tight to say that. stuart: you're right, jimmy. another subject. the radio host charlamain. he's questioning whether the media would cover hunter biden's scandal differently if he wasn't the president's son, watch this. >> now, let's be clear, mainstream liberal media gives hunter biden a lot of passes. they shoot hunter biden a lot of bail. there's a lot of soft reporting on a lot of his scandals but as always, i can't help but wonder if all of this would be reported on by liberal media if hunter biden wasn't master biden's son. stuart: he's a biden supporter? >> he calls balls and strikes but not always the best umpire but will call balls and strikes on the democrats and on this instance, he's right to call a ball on the media's coverage here. as we know, there's so many faucets to the hunter biden story. first and foremost he doesn't get any of the money if he's not

trading on his father's name. no one sending to the board room in ukraine and know what would boost profits and a guy thrown out of the chateau for smoke too much crack in los angeles and knows less about the power industry than amish people. we have to get him on the board, it's great. same thing for the paintings, stuart. he's getting a half a million a painting and if you think the price is high, you should meet the painter. it's a mess. stuart: jimmy, i hope i never cross you. >> you're good with me, varney. stuart: before we go, we got confirmation that alec baldwin has been charged with involunvoluntary manslaughter ot rust movie set. what do you make of that? >> well, i mean, in all honesty he's not as good of an actor as he thought because he issued that video apology and really tried to sell us on this ridiculous notion that the gunshot itself, which firearm experts would tell you is almost impossible. there's no chance of it happening. stuart: it was an accident. >> of course it was an accident but the number one rule of firearm safety is you never

point a gun at someone whether you believe it's loaded or not, whether you believe it's a prop or not, he is responsible as the ep of the film for onset firearms handling so there's a degree of negligence. i don't believe for a second he wanted to kill somebody. i do believe it was an accident. you know, certainly in this instance you feel for everybody but especially the victim's family, but i think the apology route he went, which was, you know, the gun did its own thing, i think it was laughable to a lot of people so i'm sure there's some that are taking delight in the fact he'll go through the process of getting charged. stuart: got it, jimmy failla, thank you for being here. back to the markets, please. red ink, dow down 237 and nasdaq 220 and a continuation of the big-time selling we've seen over the past couple of days. allen nutman with us this morning. market watcher of the moment. allen, welcome back. good to see you again. i have to tell you, i don't see any signs of stability in this market at this moment, do you?

the last week -- stuart: in the del rio part of the border, they've had 69 different migrant encounters. griff, do we know how many got aways? reporter: we do. good no longer, stu. in the past six days there's been more than 3400 got aways in just six days in this one area, in this one del rio sector. let me go to our drone. if we've got that up in the sky because literally in the commercial break, some dozen migrants, don't know where they're from and i'll find out shortly, walked up behind us and it is like clock work, nearly hourly on some days over and

over again. in 111 days in the fiscal year since it began on october 1, there's been more than 160,000 encounters in the sector. now let me show you though before dawn, stuart, some tragic knews here. some -- news here and some video i shot on my phone, here just outside of eagle pass on the main highway, a migrant was crossing the road in the dark before dawn, was hit by a vehicle there. he's covered on the side of the road. it is at least the 15th plus migrant death this fiscal year in this sector. the officials said they found documents on him indicating he's a 17-year-old guatemalaen but no picture id and will need further investigation involving texas dps and border patrol. but a real snapshot of just the tragedy of migrants that come, obviously the individual that was hit was not trying to turn

themselves in. he was trying to be a got away and was in the wrong place at the wrong time. now let me also show you the tragedy of smuggling, and that is this texas dps video. brand new video you can see troopers in a high-speed chase with what ended up being two juvenile smugglers from del rio, three migrants jumped out and bailed and the troopers were able to bring them into custody and both of those juveniles charged with evading arrest and human smuggling but as we can maybe go back to that drone, you can see here right along the river, the shipping container topped with razor wire, which is what the texas dps and governor abbott has put here because there was no wall trying to get this situation under control, but yet another group of migrants, there'll be another one in an hour from now and another one after that and that is why for almost two years now, the officials here at ground zero have been saying we need

the policies to change and simply need more resources and we need more agents on the front lines not doing this transport, which is what they've been doing all day and a final note on the bridge above us just about 30 seconds ago, we saw migrants beginning to walk across being title 42. it's like a revolving door here and it is anything but under control. stuart, we'll send it back to you. stuart: anything but under control. well said. griff jenkins at the border. thanks, griff. moments ago, fox's bill melugin questions alejandro mayorkas over calls for his impeachment. roll tape. >> mr. secretary, any calls to republicans that are calling for your impeachments, sir? they've announced an oversight hearing for the border next month. will you cooperate, sir? sir any comments for republicans calling for your impeachments, we'll let you go. stuart: i call that a really big no comment. the gentleman on the other side

is tom homan that used to run the border. i want to bring this up to you, tom, as i understand it, there's a border app. it's to allow migrants to prefile for asylum. they get on the app, they get an appointment for asylum inside the united states and get to the boarder and tell border patrol, i got the assignment, i've got the appointment and they let them in. i believe that is about to happen. any comment? >> well, in my opinion, it's illegal and they'll lose it in court. florida already has a lawsuit on it. the probe policy is clear, the statute that says you can give parole on the case by case analysis ask significant public benefit and case by case analysis and the argue of president biden's speech saying 30,000 month will be brought in. where's the case by case analysis to bring someone in the

country when there was no analysis done. they'll lose this in court. what they're trying to do, they're trying to legalize people coming to the port of entry so when they bring 30,000 in with this process, that i think is illegal, then they're saying illegal border crossing is down 30,000. not because you secured the border because you're trying to give them some sort of caucus-backed seizure disorderso get into the country. stuart: would cow come back and run the border if there's a republican president? >> i will come back and run for this president. if this president wanted to secure the border and force immigration laws in this country and protect -- secure boarders save lives; right, yes republican president wants to secure the border. absolutely in a heart beat. i'd be taking a pay cut but i love this country more than the paycheck. stuart: if you were running the border, what would you do with the illegals here? try to track down the several million here and get them out?

that's not going to happen, is it? >> no, can we fine and arrest them? no, we'll look for as many as we can and remove one by one. here's the reason, varney, when they enter the country illegal lie, it's a crime. when they claim asylum under oath when they don't qualify, that's another crime and spend billions on judicial system to give them due process and taxpayer extenses. they ignore a federal judge's order and become a fugitive and go into hiding. they've committed two crimes, great due process at taxpayer expense and there has to be consequence. if there isn't, shut down immigration court. immigration court means nothing now. why go go through the process if a judge's order means nothing. no other law enforcement agency is asked to ignore a judge's order and not enforce. no, i can't arrest 5 million people but they can't feel like they're here illegally and it's okay. it's not okay. i don't go 100 miles an hour down a freeway because i don't

want to get a ticket. i don't lie on my taxes because i don't want to go to jail. it's not okay for someone to come into the country and be in the united states illegally because it's not okay. stuart: el cha p cappo is beggir the mexican president to pull him out and he doesn't see the sun and there's no healthcare and the food is poor. what's your message in >> he's responsible for thousands of american lives. his drug cartel killed thousands upon thousands, tens of thousands of americans. he's in prison where he should be. he wants to go to mexico because much of the mexican government, not everybody but a lot are corrupt. he can't get his prosecutes in prison. he can't have a suite in prison like he had before down there. he's paying the consequences for violating this country's laws and killing all the americans so he's right where he should be and i would tell him you've got no chance going back and buying off the mexican government once again. stuart: got it. tom ho handout, always good, thank you -- homan, thank you,

sir. the u.s. coast guard has been tracking a ship off the coast of hawaii believed to be a russian spy ship. ashley, are the russians allowed to be sailing there first of all? ashley: actually they are. that area off the coast of hawaii known as the u.s. economic exclusive zone is open for international ships to pass through and it's not unheard of for some foreign military ships to kind of linger off the coast. coast guard official says the russian ship is being monitored but multiple agencies are discussing st strategies to "kep maritime peace" but the russian reference off the coast of d preference off the coast of hawaii is well documented and several spotted including a russian naval vessel near alaska last september and russian planes that flew into alaskaen defense zones. president biden flagged russian federalled ships from entering any american port after russia's

invasion of ukraine and if they are spying off the coast of hawaii, they're not doing it very sneakily, they're in plain sight. stuart: got that right, thanks, ash. the governor of florida, ron desantis waging war against covid mandates. he's taking steps to make sure vaccine rules will never be a problem in his state. we're on that story. the white house is punching questions about the biden document situation to the justice department. watch this. >> can you tell us if there's any sort of acespedesment that's been planned -- assessment planned or launched to determine if national security has been jeopardized at all? >> again, that's really the department of justice? let's be clear, it's not your decision to make on why i kansas city chiefs or can't -- can or can't answer. stuart: the media is running out of patience with the white house. bill hammer is on that next. ♪

fly like an eagle has a nice feel. that is philadelphia international airport, rainy, 40 degrees. a lot of grim. nasa and boeing are teaming up to create a greener commercial plane. the fuel efficient design, which could use up to 30% less fuel than a typical jet also cut back emissions about 30%. the new plane should be in service by the 2030s but looks like it could be flying on toes. check those -- fossil fuels. check the markets, dow down 250, nasdaq down 130 and another day of selling on wall street. the iconic bluebird statue brought in a whopping $100,000. twitter placed hundreds of items from the san francisco office up for sale this week. the statue was the item that fetched by far the highest price. elon musk is another musk headline saying biden could weaponnize federal agencies against twitter. how would that work, ashley?

ashley: well, it's all about donald trump. reports claim the former president has considered posting to twitter again. as you remember after being re-instated by elon musk back in november, the twitter ceo tweeted this, will be interesting to see how the biden administration reacts to this. they may try to weaponnize federal agencies against twitter. that's the thoughts of elon musk. trump initially said he would not use the newly reactivated twitter account and would stick to the truth social platform and the biden administration already upset with musk over the release of the so called twitter files saying it's being done to distract the public from the misinformation and hate speech that is "rampant" on the platform. stuart: thanks, ash. reporters are sick of getting the run around from the white house and they want answers in the biden document case. just watch this, roll it. >> can you tell us if there's any sort of acespedesment that has been -- assessment planned or launched to determine if

national security has been jeopardized at all? >> listen clear, it's not your decision to make on why i can or can't answer. >> if you're not able to talk about this from the podium, would you invite a doj official to take our questions here to the briefing? >> no, you'd have to go to the department of justice. peter. >> not getting a conversation about adding a member of the staff to the podium. >> peter, i just answered that question saying we have someone currently -- >> so that means no. stuart: wouldn't it be nice to get clarity on this issue. we have someone that can supply that clarity. his name is bill hemmer and he's with me now. bill. this is so much in the weeds. can you explain to me the significance that doj, the department of justice versus the white house -- what's the significance? >> with regard to the point that was being made in the briefing is the doj came out later and said we don't control what the white house says. that's up to them if they choose to answer questions or not. what i think is significant about the story is that there's

been a special counsel assigned to this. when that happens, everybody goes quiet. hey, we can't talk about it. but the reverse has happened in my view. about every day you get a little bit of a drip here and a little bit of drip there and leaves you asking more questions like andy mccarthy writes he thinks the doj is grossly negligent for allowing the president's aids to go through his private properties and not have fbi agents accompanying him looking for classified information. that's an interesting point to follow. stuart: it is. i just find the whole thing so weedy. i mean, there's so much who said who to what and what was there and where were the documents found? the general public watching this program will not be following is closely, you can't. >> two points, so many times it comes back to following the money. you'll follow the money at the penn biden center. we were told between 2017-2019

after he attached his name to that center he made upwards of a million, $950,000. but where did the money come from? we've been reporting that the university of penn has been taking in tens of millions from foreign entities but today they tell fox news last hour the penn-biden center has "never solicited or received any gifts from any chinese or other foreign entity and the university has never solicited any foreign gifts for the center". how do you define gifts? that's the next follow-up question and dan makes the point you're making if you read him in "the wall street journal". he concludes that this is all a mess. it's a mess on all sides. call it a draw for president trump, for president biden, and for hunter biden and allow what he considers this circus to conclusion. stuart: okay.

>> that's not going to happen and here's why, because republicans have the majority in the house and they're going to hold hearings in all of this. they campaigned on it. they told their voters they would pursue these issues and we're gonna find out how they do very soon. stuart: there's a poll, quinnipiac poll and 60% of the people think biden's handlings of the document were inappropriate and only 37% think he should face criminal charges. that's the general public looking at this chaos, not understanding it and saying, look, it ain't worth criminal charges. that's what they're saying. >> what i would like to know is can you tell us the general nature of what was contained in this classified material? was this hot intelligence or cold intention? was this old stuff or apply to what's happening today with ukraine or china or iran or pick your country. stuart: probably have to wait for congressional hearings and they're not going to make a statement.

>> they may not reveal it then if they consider it classified. if we knew that answer, we'd get more clarity to how important this .s i understand -- i think that poll reflects where you're coming from. you're in the weeds and want to understand it and wade through and you can't. >> i want clarify for the viewers and think this can dallas cowboys, the document scandal will prevent biden from running in 2024? >> that's a great question, too early to say. stuart: you're right. >> i don't mean to dodge it but that's where we are right now, and we'll see how thicker it gets. >> stuart: i tell you what, bill, i want more clarity and i'll be watching you on america's news room weekdays on fox news. there you go. i'll watch. >> good to be with you. stuart: thank you, bill. star of the show, boys meets world, the star of the show is running for congress. roll tape. >> if i win and you guys vote for me, i would say to each and every one of you, hey, thanks.

eligible person $5 million. madison alworth with me now. >> they're expecting the money from the government or the taxpayers and here's the thing, the funds in california, they're in short supply. san francisco, they're forecasting a $738 million deficit over the next two years with their current done a lot, and that's without the reparations payment. i want to bring that back again; right. the reparations committee is suggesting not only a $5 million payout for each eligible person but a salary supplement for some with -- at a rate of nearly $100,000 per year for 250 years. statewide, a california reparation panel recommended $569 billion in reparations or about $223,000 per person. california already facing a $24 billion budget shortfall. but those in support say it's a necessary expense. >> the government seems to be able to find resources when it

needs it. i wasn't aware that there was enough money for the war in ukraine, but they found a way to create the money to get that done. money can be found. the resources can be found. it'll be found at the state level, it'll be found at the national level. >> here in new york city, mayor eric adams supports a renewed effort to support reparations in the state but at the same time he's also spent considerable time and effort asking for more fiscal help with the current migrant crisis, which his office says will cost the city $2 billion. nationwide economists are saying a price tag for reparations of about $14 trillion. very few cities ryan higgins states have implemented reparations at this point but clearly being able to pay for them would be a whole different issue. stuart: i hope there's a vote on this. we as voters, can we say yes or no? i hope there's a vote. >> something we're following. i mean, it just keeps getting more interesting. stuart: please follow it.

provide free healthcare for thousands of undocumented migrant children. free healthcare. ashley, who's paying? ashley: one guess: taxpayers of course. new jersey governor phil murphy announcing extended program for immigrant children with 16,000 noncitizens under age 19 for free routine medical care, emergency room visits and other services and democrat murphy, who's a former goldman sachs executive says it's not just the right thing to do morally but for the future health of the state. maybe not your financial health. new jersey has one of the least funded public pension systems among state governments but since murphy has taken office in 2018, spending has increased by 35%. stu. stuart: never met a tax he didn't like and that's a fact in new jersey. ashley: that's right. stuart: thanks, ash. the governor of florida, ron desantis, is pushing to ban

permanently covid mandates in the state of florida. dr. frank is joining me now. let's make the point, it is covid vaccines that he's banning the mandate just on covid, nothing else; right? >> that's correct, stuart. nice to be back with you. bravo, governor desantis. mandates, what they do is take the honis off the doctor/patient relationship and make all medical decisions a blanket decision. medicine doesn't work that way. medicine is a case by case sit down with the patient and go over risks and benefits of everything you do, and that goes for writing a prescription for a blood pressure or diabetes drug to taking a vaccine. when you take -- when the government takes over the role of the dr. doctor and patient, that's not good for anybody. whether or not should be takes the vaccine is a doctor and patient visit, not a government

one. stuart: you do not object to a mandate that children take a measles vaccine or adults have a smallpox vaccine. it's just covid mrna vaccines; right? >> here's the difference, when you're talking about a measles or polio vaccine, they've been around for half of a century and been shown to be safe and stop you from getting and transmitting the diseases. that's not proven to be the case with the covid vaccines. stuart: got it. now, there's a new artificial intelligence bot, ai bot, that is chatgpt. did you know, doctor, it passed all three parts of the u.s. medical licensing exam? would you trust a robot to help you in your practice? >> maybe to help as electronic assistant. as of taking my place, i don't think so. if i was the same doctor that i was after taking and passing the first three steps of the u.s. medical licensing exam, i wouldn't want to be that doctor

anymore because that doesn't take into account the years of experience, three years of residency, 18 years of clinical practice. that's where the art of medicine comes in. could i see using this as an assistant to maybe double check something or if i needed an idea on the diagnosis, maybe as an assistant but you can't take the place of the doctor/patient relationship is essential. stuart: artificial intelligence is coming on strong. can you see robot doctors many years down the road? could it be that big a deal? >> i don't see anything replacing the human to human contact of a doctor looking into a patient's eyes, seeing their facial expressions and body language. i can't tell you how many times what a person told me didn't match up to what their body language or facial expression told me and i was able to probe a bit deeper and say let's focus on that where a computer cannot do that.

stuart: fair point. dr. frank contassesa. i'll get it right. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: 11:55, trivia time. when was the transcontinental railroad completed 1836, 1847, 1858, 1 1869? i should know this one because i did a american-built special on the transcontinental railroad. we'll give you the answer after this.
