the press didn't push enough to ask the hard questions. then the you know what hit the fan. this can't happen again, good for matt lee. it was painful but really, really revealing to watch. and the biden people, they are not on the field. up next, got filled. >> we begin with a fox weather alert, massive winter storm is turning deadly as a tornado ripped through the central alabama killing at least one woman and critically injuring several others. now hundreds of thousands of americans are without power across several states, more than 130,000 homes and businesses in tennessee completely in the dark. speed went the icy conditions causing massive 14 car pile up

in austin, texas. luckily one driver sustaining only a minor injury and it's not over. the national weather service issuing winter advisories in parts of the taxes all the way up to new england in northern new jersey. >> a massive mess for so many americans who are watching "fox & friends first" and i'm carley shimkus. and, it is great to be with you. we will be tracking the story all morning long and bringing updates it seems like, we have seen this before but two americans crime with biden using his business in new york city to blame guns, not criminals for the certain crimes. marianne rafferty with more on his message, good morning, repartee. >> president biden going against the police narrative blaming guns, not criminals and the president calling for additional 300 million for policing forefoot federal agents like bureau of alcohol and tobacco and firearms. >> you know i want more cities

and states to use some of the $350 billion we sent to them on the american rescue plan. to fight crime and keep our communities safe by hiring more police officers to community policing amp paying the place over time. >> crime in new york city is up over 38%, 100 shootings compared to 76 at this time last year and 23 people, shot, 18 killed leading up to the president's visit. republicans ripping the president to condemn left for -- house minority leader kevin mccarthy telling fox "biden lacks the courage to condemn the prosecutor new york city who refuses to prosecute crime, downgrade felony charges for crimes like armed robbery and releases criminals on low bail. he poses for photos and tries to divert attention to gun control as if guns shoot themselves."

and showman aldi the national order of police echo those sentiments. >> police officers deliver historic crime reductions in 20 years prior to this huge spike that we saw over the last two years. we have done it before, and we can do it again. we have to make sure that we are actually prosecuting criminals when they commit crimes. if someone loses a gun in a car, they should seek the maximum and not a slap on the risk and letting them back out. >> it's not just new york, crime is skyrocketing across major cities close to coast and milwaukee, for instant homicides 163% since the new year started, back to you guys. >> griff: all right marianne rafferty, thank you very much. you know, carley during president biden's visit to new york a crackdown on guns and says the second amendment is not absolute. listen. >> you want to crackdown just to commit violence. this does not violate anybody second amendment right.

there is no violation of the second amendment right. you talk like there is no amendment that is absolute. it didn't say anybody could own a gun and any kind of weapon. >> griff: biden's plan to crackdown with firearms disrupting the flow of guns along the so-called iron pipeline and priorities sing charges for illegal gun sellers and users. >> carley: president biden blames the violence on guns and the blame goes to elected officials who aren't enforcing the law. >> griff: keep in mind new york city, biden endorsed politician and have stopped enforcing a lot of the gun laws, stop and frisk, remember that? we can't have that so peoples illegal guns are getting away. by the way, joe biden violated and broke gun laws, a felony, not prosecuted. but you can't have a gun in your home because no amendment -- bottom line, the laws are not

being enforced and that is a problem. >> carley: part of the intake crime, a systematic racism and policing. fox news reviewed a working draft, which include creating a national database to track officer conduct reforming body cam policy, banning choke holds and no-knock warrants. >> griff: now turning to the corner, the border flights and limitations of thousands of migrants released into the u.s. >> carley: vice president kamala harris dismissing her role as brooke good morning. >> good morning, guys, republicans have had enough, ron johnson revealing how poorly managed the border is in sounding the alarm on and accounted for 40,000 illegal immigrants loose into the interior. he writes "dhs is apparently

unaware of the court location for roughly 80% of aliens that received a notice to appear after receiving a notice to report between march 21st, 2021 and december 5th. "thom tillis demanding answers from dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas on ice warrants to board flights. >> we have not received a response. this administration owes it to local law enforcement and local health and human services and all the people affected by the decision to be dipped transparent and they need to be held accountable for the movement of anybody near the border. >> carley: meanwhile at the white house white house vice president kamala harris shrugging off responsibility of border claiming the state's top priority. she tells telemundo, the first piece of legislation sent to congress was immigration reform, literally it was our first initiative to say we must have a

pathway for citizenship. the problem is if congress is not acting. the officials are pointing fingers, the border patrol agents have become targets. agents are being fired from mexico. it is the same area where shots were fired at the national guard last month but the entire word waiting for the biden administration's next moved as reports role in that immigrants from around the globe are arriving at the southern border and also still waiting for the e late ice report for 2021 which ended september 20th and januare report was in its final review and it and expected to be out in a month, but in february there is no telling when it might be released, carley, griff. >> griff: no indication coming soon. thank you very much. carley, as you know talk about this everyday, starting at the crack at done when the full sun comes up but one thing for sure, that for the vice president to

blame congress for an issue that she said she was tackling by handling root causes has now blown up in her face. that is a nice way of putting it because if she is traveling to damascus to beijing to islamabad. we have people coming from syria, from pakistan, from ukraine. this problem is out of control. the news she broke about shots fired, blown up shortly after we got off they are yesterday morning, that is just a sign of how emboldened the cartels have become that they are not afraid to shoot across the border that ever border agents. it is unbelievable where this is going. let's put into perspective one last thing. that is, we have never in the history of the border and at the levels we are at in the first three months of fiscal year 2022. 2021 was the record year where 2 million people came.

we are headed in unchartered territory as the border officials tell me every chance they get, they are simply broken because of this administration's policies. >> carley: that is exactly where they are speaking out and leaking videos that they were playing on our air because they are so frustrated. over the past few months, griff, you have pointed out border agents have apprehended people from 84 different countries. so i guess the only points the biden administration can get his points for consistency. talking about root causes in central america but that doesn't even come close to addressing the issue. in the last time president biden talked about illegal immigration, his comments were, we are still trying to figure out why people are coming in record numbers. all you have to do is talk to the folks coming over here and they say they are doing it specifically because of the biden administration's policy. they think the president is going to give them money and jobs and not altogether wrong on that front. >> griff: there was a moment this week when hillary caught up

with the chief and asked him to comment on the morale thing an all-time low. that is significant. ortiz then told in a private meeting in congress that he's worried title 42 will go away, the health provision expelling some migrants and leasing the rest. if that goes away, we will be talking about every network although they don't like to talk about it because it will be an absolute unprecedented open border. >> carley: and we are seeing the implications of that unfold every single day in this country. so, from the disaster at the border to dysfunction also continuing inside the vice president's office, kamala harris loses another high-ranking member of her team. sources tell fox, chief writer eight child grant is calling it quits at the end of the month. she is the eighth staffer to bail from the administration in

one single year. >> griff: and the global leader of isis is dead after incredibly complex u.s. social forces in syria. the biden administration says the alteration abu ibrahim al-hashimi al-qurayshi on the same skill as 2011 raid to dig out usama bin laden. and the gunman for two hours before the terror leader detonated a device killing himself and his family. satellite images showing third floor blown off of the building. president biden says the mission dealt a significant blow to isis. and marco rubio calling a russian invasion of ukraine a year certainty after lawmakers giving classified briefings on the escalating russian ukraine conflict. meanwhile, suggest moscow will fabricate an excuse for invasion. a full flag operation. >> legally that russia would

produce a very graphic propaganda video, which would include corpses and actors that would be depicting mourners and images of destroyed locations at the hands of ukraine in the west. >> griff: this is 1,700 american paratroopers in fort bragg heading to eastern europe when day after president biden ordered additional troops in the region. they will be stationed in poland. >> carley: we are just hours away from the opening ceremony of the winter olympics in beijing. but back here in the united states, house speaker nancy pelosi urging not to speak out over fears of a negative response from china communist government. >> we are there to compete. do not risk the incurring anchor of the chinese government because they are ruthless. i know there is a temptation on the part of some to speak out while they are there.

i respect that, but i also worry about what the chinese government might do. speak to that one comes after republicans introduced legislation to sanction international olympic committee's spirit in the athlete, fan or member of the press becomes a victim of china woke violation of internationale human rights. and of course, nba player enes kanter global about china's abuse and here is his reaction to what the hell speaker had to say. >> it broke my heart because athletes come i feel like we need to use our platform to bring awareness to what is goinn around the world. and obviously, china right now is the biggest abuse in the world. so i feel like, to all the athletes, my messages take one or two day to visit the concentration camps if you can. see what methods that hong kong is going through or tied one see

what it means. it breaks my heart. >> carley: and griff, this is certainly not a normal olympics. athletes are told to bring burner phones and leave cell phones at home just in case china decides to hack into their technology. also of note, these winter olympics are taking place at a time when there is significant tensions between the united states and russia, which is all too familiar feeling but i think nancy pelosi is right, the number one responsibility of american athletes is to stay safe. also to beat china and then when they come home, that is when they can speak out and is safe manor against china. and a totally corrupt organization. >> griff: harley let me tell you what irritates and you mention beating china, and i will not address policies dealing for freedom on the

global stage, that is a no-brainer. but here is an athlete, and she is a free skier and just won the x games in 2021 a month or so ago, and she will compete for china. she was born in california, raised in california by the best coaches, the best experts to get her to the level she is and a shoe in front runner for possibly three gold medals and yet, she is going to compete for china, not the u.s., but she grew up into and i had to blame her she is 18, and i have two daughters 20 and 18 but perhaps she has not fully educated on what it means to be free in this country, but her mother who is from china i do blame because there was a reason why there were americans in the streets of hong kong last year and why people were carrying american flags and being persecuted.

it will be sad to see if she wins for china against her own country. >> carley: you make such a great point. she is 18 years old so i do blame her. i do think she should be more educated than that. she benefited from the freedoms, like you said the training and the coaching that america was able to provide her. to turn her back on our country and to compete for one of our greatest adversaries is certainly a choice that i hope she lives to regret, but in the meantime we will stay with this, the convoy is not backing down to prime minister justin trudeau even after reports the military could be sent in to break up their protest. as for the truckers at home mother fight is far from over against big tech. we have the latest on that. >> griff: plus, dr. jeanette and lara trump all live on this friday morning. stick with us.

[speaking non-english language] speak a weapon to my daughter should not happen to nobody else. [speaking non-english language] and take out all these guns. >> carley: so president biden's visit to new york city addressing her concerns. representing the grieving mother, joining me now, good morning to you, sir. president biden pulled out a plan to decrease gun violence yesterday when he was in new york city. take a listen to what he had to say. >> first, i want to crackdown on

those who commit violence. that includes taking on and shutting down rogue gun dealers. and doing background checks and making sure the people who are not allowed to have a gun don't get the gun in the first place. >> carley: calling for re-funding not deepening of the police department. what do you think? is that enough? >> look my think the issue here is we haven't beautiful girl who was killed as a result of a homeless, mentally ill man had a gun. how did they get that gun? there is a real problem in this city, crime is up 38% this month. mayor adams ever since he became mayor come he has to address it. he must address it with an effective program we protect the constitutional rights of the innocence while we fight crime. >> carley: i think you are absolutely right about that. right now, you are representing a grieving mother who just lost

her daughter in an absolutely horrific crime. this family will never be the same. and white house press secretary jen psaki recently talked about soft on crime policies. she laughed it off. take a listen. >> and then on fox jeanine pirro talking about soft on crime gun policies. what does that mean? so this is an alternate universe and some coverage. what is scary about it, a lot of people watch that. >> carley: understand you have some thoughts on what she had to say. >> well, clearly this press secretary should apologize. but the fact of the matter is very simple, crime is up in the city. you know, no fighting with statistics. what has to be done to stop the increase in crime in the city. that is the issue. and not trying to say soft on crime. that is not the issue. it's not the politics.

it is the deaths really important here. >> carley: you represent whose daughter, a beautiful, inspiring model and she was murdered by a homeless person who stole $100 from the burger king that she was working in here the suspect name is winston and he faces first-degree murder, first-degree murder and other charges. is he going to get life in prison? >> what this mother wants not to just get life but life without parole in prison. it will be up to the judge to sentence this killer. she will make a plea to him before sentencing after convicted, life without parole. >> carley: life without parole. i think he deserves that, you are absolutely right. thank you so much for joining us in speaking out, we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. >> carley: creative. >> griff: we talk about crime in new york city but a nationwide problem and concerned americans in new orleans want to know why covid mandates are more
