about the democrats or bailouts. he just promised to shove cash down to city governments throat to prove he does not want to defund the police. the nypd could have $1 trillion budget but if the guys they both keep walking out with no bail, no charges, what is the point? if you want to take guns off of the street, take the guys that use the guns off of the street. biden should stop talking and do a little more listening. speed to an analysis fan last week rather found homicides in major cities have risen 44% fro. meanwhile republicans are demanding by let border flights of thousands of migrants released into the united states. >> griff: this as vice president kamala harris defending her role as border czar. joining us with the latest development, good morning, brooke. >> hey, good morning, guys. that is right for my republicans up at annette enough.

poorly managing our borders and sounding the alarm was seemingly unaccounted for 40,000 illegal immigrants into the interior now. he writes dhs is apparently unaware of the port location for roughly 80% of aliens that have received a notice to appear after receiving a notice to report between march 21st, 2021 and december 5th. north carolina senator tom telles' demanding efforts from dhs secretary alejandro mayorkas the use of ice forms to board or flights. listen to this. >> this administration owes us to local law enforcement and local health and human services and all the people affected by these decisions to be transparent. they need to be held accountable for the movement of anybody out of detention centers at the border. >> meanwhile at the white house vice president kamala harris seemingly shrugging off her responsibility as border czar claiming the administration's top priority.

she tells telemundo "the first piece of legislation sent to congress was immigration reform, literally, the first initiative to say you must have a pass for citizenship here the problem, she says, congress is not acting. acting. while officials are pointing fingers, the border agents have become targets. cpp confirms agents fired from mexico. it is the same area where shots fired texas national guard last month. the entire world waiting for the biden administration's next move as reports role in that immigrants from around the globe arrive at our southern border. we are also still waiting for the latest ice report for fiscal year 2021 which ended september 30th. the latest update january 5th went ice told fox news the report was in its final review and expected to be out within the month but you guys come it is february and no telling when it might be released, carley. >> griff: don't hold your breath come up brooke i don't know if we will see that report

they won't give us. thank you very much. you know, carley, i have to take a moment to speak about the border patrol agents who spent so much time with their resiliency through a pandemic and through this administration undoing every single trump policy that had border under control continue to stay in the fight now being shot at the second time in two months like this. it is unbelievable and it comes at unprecedented time would not only are the numbers so high like we've never seen them before as we head into this new fiscal year 2022, but you also have people, as brooke mentioned from all over the globe, not just from mexico or the northern triangle of what a they are coming from syria, ukraine, russia, pakistan, and this is a situation that the border patrol hopes they would never see because that means cartel broadening their reach, not just latin america. they are not pulling people from

the entire globe but the former border chief who says this is no longer a border crisis, this is truly regardless of where politics are a national security crisis. >> carley: we have been talking about that "cbs news" poll that shows 36% of americans agree with president biden's handling of illegal immigration border issue. i see some polls close to 25%. so you have to wonder why some administration reversing court? it is all political. if the biden administration starts enforcing border laws, they will get such pushback from progressives they don't want that. i think they are playing the long game. one of the first things president biden did was try to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants and congress blocked that. i think they are banking on that one day happening. if illegal immigrants to become legal citizens, that means they can vote. democrats are thinking they will

vote democrat. >> griff: you are seeing this pushback. for the first time ever when a border patrol agent in uniform is actively pushing back against a sitting secretary, against sitting border patrol chief. you see the border patrol is broken and that the camel that broke that back was the fact that you are having a single adult release. that is something border patrol thought they would never see, but yet, we know from the numbers from december that 45% of those released, 79,000 of 178,000 were released through title eight. it is an unbelievable situation and not getting any better. >> carley: it everything is backwards. the border patrol agents, they are not politicians. they are law enforcement officers. the cartels are essentially using them as a way to make money. there is also drugs flying across the southern border. then you have the feel for the

american citizens that live along the border and their property is getting destroyed by this constant stream of people pouring through their backyards. all of this is happening and has been happening the past year. it really feels like this issue is only getting worse. we have to turn to a fox weather alert and massive winter storm inching east and turning deadly as a tornado ripped through central alabama killing one woman and critically injuring several others. >> griff: it is far from over millions up and down the east coast still underwent troop warning. adam is here with the latest fox weather forecast, good morning, adam. >> good morning, griff, good morning carley. a large moving storm inching across the country. we still see heavy rain and rain stretching all the way north into maine appear to be see snow in between those two areas. a lot of ice and everything, ice may be the worst part of this entire storm system. ask her yesterday, areas of

texas and arkansas got up with more ice on the ground that is taking down branches and power lines and hundreds and thousands of people without power because of all of the ice and all of the damage. this continues and we have winter storm watch advisory stretching all the way through friday. it has been a slow mover. it really came together wednesday and it will probably not clear out until early saturday morning. this is your future forecast that takes you through the day today. still sings and snow on the backside of this until friday evening. it continues to be ice the biggest concern and more ice on the way today getting more open to new england. of course, we will watch the system as it wraps up over the course of today. but for now back to you guys. >> carley: thank you for the important warning the afghan interpreter to save -- only to be abandoned. we are getting an update with the exclusive interview just minutes from now. >> griff: carley we talked

native and new yorker dr. janette nesheiwat to speak out demanding new york's leaders step up and control the twitter trolls. she wrote for fox news and dr. nesheiwat thank you for taking time. why did you feel compelled to write this op-ed and why are you speaking out? >> good morning, griff. my heart breaks when i have patience coming in with us old, black eyes, with facial fractures and lacerations. and many tell me i don't know, i was attacked from behind without any reason at all. it is so important to get to the bottom of this and figure out what is going on. yes, we deal with gangs, illegal guns and drugs. one of the huge issues that has been a unaddressed for so long is the aspect of mental illness. here in new york city, we have over 300,000 new yorkers with mental illness. up to 20% of the inmates either have schizophrenia or bipolar

disease or severe depression. so it is so important to tackle these issues. it is not the gun that kills people. it is the person behind the gun pulling the trigger. so we really need to look at the bottom line and figure out why it says crime happening? figuring out ways to improve. i do like the fact here in new york city, they would have more funding allocated to mental health resources, access and availability. we will see more hospital-based violence intervention programs, which is fantastic. but we also need to make sure we have improved reform when it comes to criminals and the punishment. we need to make sure that if someone commits murder, brutal crimes, they receive the appropriate punishment and not let free to roam the streets and result in deaths like officer rivera or officer jason mora. young lives lost for no reason at all by repeat offenders. >> griff: dr. janette nesheiwat, the funding here is what the

president said in new york yesterday. listen. >> the answer is not to defund the police. it is to give you the tools, the training, the funding to be partners, protectors, and know the community. >> griff: is he hitting the mark, dr. nesheiwat? in part, absolutely. we need to back up the police officers. our police officers and firefighters -- i don't think people understand they risk their lives for every single day when they put on that uniform and go out to protect us, protect the community. when there are no repercussions for the crimes that criminals commit, that ushers in more violence and emboldens criminals. it is so important to take action and make sure we have a d.a. who realizes we are losing lives and shedding blood unnecessarily. we can't wait any longer. we need immediate action. >> griff: you actually in your op-ed a five-point prescription for how to solve this from

tackling mental illness, homelessness, education. you put the protest of safety in the law and order but what do you mean by that? >> absolutely. i think it is so important that we come together as a community and realized that safety is first. enough is enough, no more bloodshed. we need to make sure the police commissioners and police officers, mayor, governor work together along with prosecutors to make sure we are keeping the community safe. that is why public safety, law and order is a big issue right now. it is not the pandemic of covid but massive crime. >> griff: dr. nesheiwat with fixing crime, have a great friday. go to foxnews.com to check her out, carley. >> carley: speaking of the pandemic johns hopkins had covid lockdowns had little to no impact on stopping the spread. but they impacted the american economy in a major way.

to rule with several restaurants, joining me now, good morning to you, chef. it said that lockdowns only reduced death by .2%. after all of that small business owners have been through the past year, how does that make you feel? >> i mean, it doesn't surprise me in the least bit. going on this little tour talking about for so long. i've always been apprehensive to say that because of covid, look what has happened to the restaurant industry? i knew all along it wasn't necessarily covid, right, this has been reshaped, redefined by local, state, federal politicians kind of rewriting this restrictions, mandates that have completely thrown a wet blanket on retail overall. >> carley: and just came out and said it would take a long time for restaurants to get back to prepandemic levels. what are some of the biggest challenges you are facing?

>> to that point on that study, which i did read come i think it needs to be picked apart a little bit because what we really need to look at is the geography of restaurants. cities have been completely torn apart. restaurants have left cities altogether and know they are struggling so hard. we are the tip of the iceberg. counterpoint that two areas where restrictions and mandates and the strong places like florida, and areas in the midwest. nuc there is still a restaurant boom. when you dig into the numbers overall, you realize that his number one, right? you have to get rid of the restrictions and government has to get out of restaurants but also psychology. we have government officials telling people not to go out to eat. the fear of being draped on the mind-set of all consumers by virtue of the government, right? a lot of health officials have crossed the mentality. i think it is five, ten years that we actually start to get people out of this dark closet

of fearmongering. just so scared to go out. you have fauci saying don't go out to eat in a restaurant and he owns part of the restaurant so i don't know what he's doing. and second to that is the shift from money going to main street to silicon valley. a 5% of your sails lead into the pandemic or take-out and delivery and third-party delivery, now 60% and you lose $0.30 on every dollar whenu use a third-party delivery app, although it is a necessary evil. while sails may be steady, when you look to 2019 to 2001, profits are down because people are losing so much money to the silicon valley. i hate to say it, but they are greedy. the amount of money that they are taken from the restaurants. >> carley: you said you had been talking about this over the pandemic and it shows. you definitely know your stuff. luckily for you, the majority of people according to several polls want to get back to normal life. so hopefully we can get

stronger. all cities across the country very soon. chef andrew gruel, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. i appreciate it. >> carley: abc is taking a lot of heat for the start contrast between controversial remarks from whoopi goldberg and concern roseanne barr. we will tell you how they are speaking out next. and you can help take control of your symptoms - and ask about vraylar. some medicines only treat the lows or highs, once-daily vraylar is proven to treat depressive, acute manic, and mixed episodes of bipolar i in adults. full-spectrum relief for all bipolar i symptoms. elderly patients with dementia-related psychosis have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor about unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles or confusion which may mean a life-threatening reaction,

or uncontrollable muscle movements which may be permanent. high cholesterol and weight gain, and high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, may occur. side effects may not appear for several weeks. common side effects include sleepiness and stomach issues. movement dysfunction and restlessness are also common. you are greater than your bipolar i. ask about vraylar.

whoopi goldberg but you can't fire roseanne and give will be a timeout. and far left, disney's hypocrisy is showing. >> griff: jeff zucker cnn departure with another embarrassing headline with a long list of controversies. his exit with new questions about the network and reliable services. we do here to break it down fox news contributor joe concha, you have fox news op-ed and you say there is much more to the story. so the question is, what is it? >> well, for starters, basically, carley, the turmoil, anger, back and front stepping up cnn right now is king's landing. forget king of the rounds but came up microphones over there. winter felt 2.0. they had a meeting yesterday internally, and called chris cuomo a hostage -- i'm sorry a

terrorist who is only in network hostage and called him the bad guy as if jeff zucker is the good guy. reports now are saying that jeff zucker and his girlfriend who is one of the top executives there allison coached then governor andrew cuomo on interviews how to best attack then president trump at the time on his handling of covid. yet, cnn is lionized in jeff zucker activist president as if he is the most ethical successful president in history. let's talk about the successful part. cnn lost 90% from the same date in 2021. think about that. ten people were watching cnn one year ago. nine of them have left the room now. reports also say that we are seeking this relationship between jeff zucker as not been going on with covid like cnn reporting but since fox news was

born in 1996. 25 years. this relationship between them, not only a secret but it was open. it is just so fitting that even in its reporting of the resignation of its president, cnn media guy misrepresenting multiple tv stories that he absolutely has intimate details of. stakeholders, excuse me or taking notice of this, no question. >> griff: that is a great point, joe, in fact "the daily mail" pulled out brian stelter and the network needs to step up and fire brian stelter, the top reporter yet failed to report on the things in the office that they knew. and truly terrible at his job. harsh words, joe. does brian survive this? >> that is an excellent question because, you know, we are supposed to believe that a

network president of ten years has two abruptly resigned because of consensual relationship with another single executive? not one person on the planet believes this. yet, this is what cnn's media correspondent is trying to push the bottom line chris cuomo apparently has the goods on his former boss. he wants to get paid out on his contract at this point. into think that nobody knew about this relationship or cnn's media correspondent is suddenly shut shocked and surprised by this and close to him and still is texting multiple times on how to handle this. what happens from here is up to the news stakeholders from discovery when they take over. they will look at this culture at cnn and say, okay, who needs to stay and who needs to go to get the stench of a bus at this point? it is up to them. i will not wager against them. >> carley: your "game of thrones" analogy was very fitting.

never want to be a part of a situation that is related to that. joe concha, thank you so much. >> think you, no problem. when todd piro is here, you have to watch your back. but with grip, you are safe. >> griff: thank you, joe, have a great weekend, my friend. meanwhile former winston marshal lasting for soviet style censorship of joe grogan spotify podcast. marshall fitting in an essay titled "when artists become filtered." in that they call out liberals for demanding spotify remove joe rhoton for misinformation. how can any artist we ate without free speech? and also took a direct hit at neil young to remove his music from spotify. if he doesn't like joe rogan's podcast, he should start his

it is and they wiped out to administrators, facebook profiles altogether. it is not a right issue or left issue but in the issue, a human issue. speed food that is right, the trucker on the screen talking t& friends" and on fire by the comn protest and want to do it in the u.s. in a safe and peaceful way to protest against vaccine mandates for the military, for e officers, for teachers and anybody who feels like they are being forced to get vaccinated against their will. they say -- i asked him about this qanon thing that facebook is accusing him of and they said it is simply not true. they are truckers and have no association with qanon whatsoever. they invited people to call them and tell them what they said that has them thinking we are associated with qanon or broken a rules.

a sudden. well, this is nothing surprising for anyone. kamala harris has taken zero responsibility for anything since she was named vice president but it is concerning absolutely nothing is being done on our southern border. and it is still a crisis. it was a crisis a year ago. that's why she was named border czar. it is a crisis today and nothing has changed. >> carley: as she is fielding questions about her role as the border czar addressing root causes. another staffer from her office just left. this time her chief speech writer bringing the total to 8. why is this happening? >> when a ship sinking people want to jump off. when that ship is on fire and sinking, which seems to be the case with this entire administration, people want to get away from that i think it's pretty clear you look at the poll numbers. you look at, you know, what these two -- joe biden and kamala harris have done since they took office, people can see the writing on the wall.

no staffer wants to be associated with a failed presidency, with a failed vice presidency. and have their name on that. i assume that they're jumping ship because what else would you do when that ship is going down? there are a lot of reports, obviously, that kamala harris isn't great to work for. it seems like she wants the job without doing any of the work to have that job. so i imagine that this must be a very challenging environment to work in. but, look, you can't blame people if things feel like they're going poorly and you are not happy in your role there, i assume people want to leave. >> >> griff: let me just in the last 2 a 5 seconds or so we have, laura do you think this issue of the border is going to cost democrats in november? >> oh, absolutely. look, anybody with their eyes open in this country can see this is a problem. they have not addressed it in any way, in fact, they're actually ushering more people in and encouraging more people all across the world to come to america. this is horrible for our

country. it's hurting people all across america. it has to stop and yes, griff. i think come november, the democrats are going to feel the implications of this. >> carley: border agents are frustrated and speaking out and a lot of american people are as well. laura, thank you for joining us this morning, happy friday. >> thanks, guys. >> carley: with that griff, it was great to see you. "fox & friends" starts right now. ♪ ♪ >> griff: president biden using guns to blame for the violence. >> politicians have stopped enforcing the gun laws. joe biden's own son violated federal firearms law. >> the problem congress is not acting. >> vice president kamala harris is dismissing her role as border czar yet another high ranking member of her team is calling it quits. >> you are there to compete. do not risk incurring the anger of the chinese government. >> that breaks my hrt
