comprehensive immigration reform legislation that could be passed to try to deal with some of these issues? >> hope springs eternal. we need to stop with the current crisis at the border and then maybe we can have a more rational conversation what comes next. this has been the stumbling point with our democratic colleagues and white house. senator sinema and gonzalez and cuellar have reduced an act in 2021. that might be a good place to start. >> dana: street start has to be to secure the border and then talk about the rest. senator cornyn, thank you. happy new year. >> happy new year. >> dana: the 118th congress set to convene for the first time two hours from now. one little -- a huge speed bump. kevin mccarthy's bid to become house speaker is up in the air. the most uncertain speaker vote

in a century. history going on here. welcome to another hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: missed you. happy new year. >> dana: i missed you. are you glad to be back? >> bill: with you absolutely. i'm bill hemmer. happy new year at home. the house is getting ready to end the 117th congress. the senate will do the same later this morning. the new house could convene in about two hours, 12 noon with a vote for speaker expected to begin around 1:00 eastern time. >> dana: five republicans have said they oppose mccarthy for speaker but can only afford to lose four votes. until the house elects a speaker it's frozen unable to swear in members or vote on any legislation. as of noon, everyone becomes representative elect including scott perry of pennsylvania. one of those republicans not sold on voting for mccarthy. >> i start evidence the negotiation with leader mccarthy back in the summer said status

quo can't continue. everyone knows washington is broken. let's talk about what we can do to change what that is. we went to him last night and said look, we have a deal that can get you 218. i took one of the guys that has been never mccarthy since the beginning with me to the meeting and he rejected. >> bill: senior congressional correspondent chad pergram is putting it all together for us live on the hill ready for a long day. where do we stand? >> good morning. it could be one of the most chaotic scenes in congressional history not seen in 100 years. kevin mccarthy acts a majority of the house to become speaker. he has the most support but that's not enough due to the opposition of at least five republicans and perhaps more. >> i still can vote for kevin mccarthy if we can come to an agreement that changes the status quo. >> congressman, congressman, what is -- hold on. what is the one thing you want?

>> to change how things are done so we don't have the same outcomes like we had a week and a half ago. >> that's too broad. give me a specific. >> 4,000 pages and oftentimes our leadership in the republican party votes with the democrats. that's what we don't want. >> he says mccarthy rejected an opportunity to earn his vote. the rule is the house can't even swear in members and vote on bills until it whats a speaker. the house is supposed to keep voting until it elects a speaker. in took -- it marks a rocky beginning for the new house majority. >> we have diverse points of view that we're expressing them. it should be celebrated but there is a time to put down the argument and pick up the gavel and get to work. and i was sent here to get to work and that's why i'm here. >> democrats are sitting this

one out so far. they are watching the g.o.p. eat their own. >> extreme maga republicans on the other side of the aisle are dealing with chaos, crisis, confusion and craziness. in many ways it's a product of the trump years and the fact they refuse to push back against donald trump's emergence and all that represented. in many ways you reap what you sew. that's the reality what we're seeing now on the other side of the aisle. >> if the house fails to elect a speaker after a number of ballots it could adopt a resolution by a simple majority to make it easier to elect mccarthy. twice before the house has lowered the bar from an outright majority of the entire house to just a portion. >> bill: let the games begin. chad, thanks. we'll be with you every hour throughout the day today. >> dana: terrifying moments in last night's football games. safety damar hamlin collapsed on

the field suffering cardiac arrest after making a tackle against the bengals in cincinnati. the 24-year-old was given cpr for nine minutes on the field before being taken away in an ambulance. the team says he is in critical condition at a cincinnati hospital. according to hamlin's representative the vitals are back to normal. the "new york post" captured the moment calling it a monday night horror. let's bring in dr. marc siegel, fox news contributor and is that a good sign that everything seems to be at least normal this morning? >> vital signs back to normal is a very good sign. the idea that he the defibrillator was on the field and they restored his heartbeat on the field, all of that is a good sign. university of cincinnati medical center is a great trauma one center and they know what they're doing there. it is all a good sign. he is on a ventilator.

you want to protect the heart and lungs and brain in this situation. hopefully he will wake up. i actually reported on a case which most cardiologists are calling this commotio cordis. it leads to -- where a heart starts -- i have think we can be at least guardedly optimistic he will recover. hopefully return to a semblance of normal. this is a great human being. >> bill: the example you gave of a young baseball player we heard about it in lacrosse, young kids, too. where there is trauma to the

chest. is that the commonality that you find at all these cases that sort of jumps the heart and then leads the first responders to have to revive the individual? but in this case, doctor, i think this went on for nine minutes on the field. that seems like a very long time. >> very long time to be giving cpr. you have it right. it's a direct blow to the chest that basically stuns the heart at exactly the wrong time. that's what you saw there in that video. but not -- not a severe blow, just even a mild or moderate blow might be enough. the defibrillator senses whether you have a heartbeat. if you have any kind of quivering or messaging from the heart the defibrillator will initiate a shock. an automatic one. the american heart association says 20,000 lives can be saved a year using that defibrillator. one of the messages here it needs to be in more places. thank god it was there.

i think it saved his life. that plus the very rapid attention and intervention of doctors, of the team, all, you know. we don't know where it is leading yet but clearly they got him to the hospital in critical condition with his vitals back to normal, all really good signs. >> dana: interesting you mention defibrillators. dick and lynn cheney when he was vice president, they undertook a personal effort and private effort to make sure there was a defibrillator in every house of worship in the washington, d.c. area because it can save so many lives. what -- for those of us watching and waiting, how long could the wait be before we know what his prognosis will be? >> i'm glad you brought up vice president cheney. he was really very important for awareness raising on heart issues. i don't know if we'll hear things in realtime here. there is also the issue of patient patient-privacy.

i would expect they know today, sometime today about waking him up and where he is in terms of that. i'm pretty confident he is probably okay from a medical point of view. again, though, where will he be in terms of waking up? that can take a few days. did he damage the heart? we'll find that out, too. >> bill: marc siegel with analysis from the university hospital in cincinnati. the other thing we don't know. we don't know if he had a pre-existing condition that could have led to. >> dana: maybe he wouldn't have known. sometimes you don't know about a preexisting condition until there is trauma. >> bill: the best for him and his mother in cincinnati. jeremy renner in critical but stable condition after being injured in a snowplow accident on sunday near his home. big storm there. he was up in it. william la jeunesse has the update. >> the actor suffered chest and leg injuries and went through

two surgeries on monday and remains in intensive care but is stable. injury not sustained by a snowblower but a snow cat. tahoe got hit by four feet of snow over the weekend. he was clearing a path on the driveway on sunday when the accident occurred. the vehicle rolled over his legs. a ski resort driver speculated that renner may have failed to fully engage the emergency brake. others think the vehicle mal functioned around 9:00 a.m. a doctor tied a tourniquet on his leg but lost a lot of blood by the time he was airlifted to arena owe hospital. his type of snow cat is no longer sold but similar models on second hand sites are considered vintage. renner is 51, he is in the avenger series. he has a 9-year-old daughter he

shares with an ex wife. both are with him now. the local sheriff impounded the snow cat and is treating renner's home as a crime scene. >> bill: thank you in l.a. we'll follow it. >> dana: congressional reports finds the fda broke protocols to approve a new ailsheimer's medication. >> bill: law enforcement expert joins us on what will happen next in the idaho case. >> it sounds to me that the defense lawyers are doing a good job. insanity defense is very possibility especially because of his academic kind of records. to pay down high rate credit cards, personal loans, even car loans. veterans get more at newday.

>> dana: the suspect accused of murdering four university of idaho students in november is due in court in pennsylvania a couple hours from now. his public defender says he plans to waive extradition. no murder weapon or motive. we know the suspect was a grad student in criminology at washington state just ten miles from the murder scene. >> what caused him to pick these people out? he had this bizarre research report from the college in pennsylvania that he was doing interviewing criminals as to why they kill people and how they feel. so there are a lot of potential red flags for motive and for whether or not it could have been prevented. >> dana: let's bring in former detective ted williams and fox news contributor and chris swecker former f.b.i. assistant director. ted, you are back in moscow, idaho. is there some relief in the

community there is at least a suspect who has been arrested? >> dana, i was out about the community here in moscow, idaho last night and i can tell you to the person, there is jubilation that someone is caught. it is kind of like a bittersweet moment for people out here. naturally -- the families, by the way. they would love their loved ones to be around. the fact that their loved ones are no longer here, they are very elated that someone is being brought to justice out here. >> dana: let me show everybody at home the charges against com company -- kohberger. we'll get the complaint later today. four counts of murder and burglary. chris, there could be more charges added later. this is what they felt they had at this point for probable cause. what struck out to you to the

extent that we know, in the investigation leading up to his arrest that was a key part of the investigation? what were the tools you think brought him to this moment? >> well, i think the lynch pin tool was the use of forensic genealogy, a fairly new area. it is basically the use of private dna databases from these products you buy where you can trace your genealogy. in the private sector they've built up a significant bank of dna and the higher goal, the ancestral relatives of this particular person. so in this case they used the private sector to identify at least someone within his family tree. so that is a pioneering area. i have think that's the bailiwick of the f.b.i. they brought something significant to the scene here. not taking anything away from the investigators and the stat

police but i think this was a lynch pin and what broke the case. >> dana: anything to add on that point or any other investigative tool you think was key, ted? >> yeah, also the fact they had some video of that white car. that also was very significant. to follow up on what chris has said here, this is a new innovative kind of dna procedure. and so it is kind of weak at this time and certainly going to give defense attorneys something to challenge in this case. but i think we've seen some extraordinarily good police work. the scales of justice sometimes move slowly but i think they have moved -- they're moving in a very successful manner to bring some closure for the families in this case. >> dana: his attorney says he

will -- that kohberger will be exonerated once he gets to idaho. innocent until proven guilty. that won't happen today. chris, can you explain what happens to a suspect like this who has been arrested? when they go to the extradition hearing in a couple hours in pennsylvania he will say i'll go back to idaho. how does he get to idaho? who takes him? what's the process? >> extradition is in the constitution of the united states. a formal request from one governor to another to bring a suspect back to face justice where the charges are filed. in this case, he will waive it, the smart thing to do. there is nothing to be gained by fighting it. the only issue is whether he is the person charged in the warrant. he will be transported by land or air, by detectives from idaho, possibly from pennsylvania as well. it will be in a very secure way.

either by private air or by -- i suspect that will happen. i doubt they will take him by car. >> dana: they will want to get him there rapidly. ted, thank you for being here and chris, thank you for your expertise. we'll stay on top of the story today. >> bill: now a congressional inquiry has found the fda broke protocol to approve the new ailsheimer's drugs despite doubts it actually helps people. the approval crisis was reiff with irregularities. we're in the story with the details. >> that's not even the worst of it. it finds the fda rushed this alzheimer's drug to market even its own scientists that the drug could cause harm to patients. the fda's approval process

deviated from fda guidance and procedures in significant respects. they are accusing the fda of working with biogen, the manufacturer of the drug, to approve the drug, promote it and rush it to market. even putting together joint presentations between the fda and biogen advocating for the drug's effectiveness. the fda not acknowledging any wrongdoing but doubling down on their practices. quote, fda remains committed to the integrity of our drug approval process and will continue to use the accelerated approval pathway that they used here. b biogen says they stand by the integrity of the actions we've taken. the other eye-popping october sayings in the report is the price tag. they initially charged patients $56,000 a year to obtain the

drug. now take a look at this from the investigation. it finds that was an unjust fileably high price according to congress. dem democrat is said it is straight up corporate greed. they hope this report will be a wake-up call for the fda to reform. right now the fda is re-evaluating two alzheimer's drugs. one was developed in part by biogen. >> bill: very interesting. gillian turner in washington, d.c. >> dana: as america's crime crisis continues one democrat-led state is making it harder for police to do their jobs. refraction law enforcement. the justice department accused of hiding hundreds of documents on hunter biden. could a new lawsuit bring them into light? ♪

learn how abbvie can help you save. >> dana: a call for transparency. an attorney claims the justice department is trying to conceal hundreds of documents that could shed light on the business dealings involving the president's son and his brother, james biden. that attorney is suing the feds so that information will see the light of day. david spunt is following the story in washington with more. >> good morning. this attorney based near denver, colorado says he has been in a back and forth with the department of justice for more than two years and quite frankly fed up with it. it began with a public records request. in 2020, when asked about involvement in his son hunter's business dealings then candidate joe biden denied involvement. prompted white collar attorney kevin evans to reach out to the justice department to request

public records and ask about communications involving hunter, china, russia, and ukraine. he also asked for documents related to the president's brother, jim, who had been reported to be involved in some of those business dealings as well. the attorney claims that he heard in court a d.o.j. attorney admit d.o.j. had 400 documents relating to his inquiries. a few months later he says d.o.j. did an about face and denied the statement. now he is angry. listen. >> the appropriate thing to do at this point is to redact those pages and then we'll fight about the redactions. not for me to tell the court these documents exist and then a month later say we won't confirm or deny whether or not the documents exist. >> while jim biden is not under federal investigation as far as we know, hunter biden is and has been for several years. we know prosecutors are mulling

charges related to his taxes and allegedly lying on a firearm form. a delaware attorney, trump administration holdover is expected to make a final call about charging hunter. we don't know when. we reached out to the department of justice for comment on this story. the department is declining a response on this from the colorado attorney. >> bill: a judge in illinois blocking part of a bill that took effect. it would have eliminated cash bail. however, other controversial aspects of the plan remain in place known as the safety act. critics say it is anything but safety. >> democratic leaders are enamored with doing everything they can to help dangerous criminals remain on the streets, remain in the neighborhoods, remain in home all at the expense of communities that don't need them there and are struggling to get by and past

the violence on the daily basis. >> bill: this gentleman is a sheriff by the name of kyle bacon, from franklin county, illinois in the southern end of the state. good morning to you. let me put on screen a couple of things in the safety act. some of the highlights. ending cash bail is put on hold in red at the top. but you've also got a requirement that cops wear body armor within the next three years. a ban on all police choke holds. new guidelines for de-certification of police officers and suspended licenses for failure to pay. three more pages of this stuff. sheriff, when it comes to cashless bail, is that a win for law enforcement if it stays? >> the elimination of cash bail has never been my greatest concern. the concern that i have always had is we can insure that folks committing dangerous crimes will be detained in jail.

it cleans some of that up and made those allowances a little more possible by the judges. but there are still many drug offenses that are not detainable. it is very concerning for us. >> bill: if the majority of crime issues are driven by drugs and addiction, if you can't hold them behind bars, what happens to crime in your county or your state? >> that's our greatest concern. we are rural communities. we're inundated with thefts and burglaries. these are all driven in my opinion by addiction. we do not have the treatment centers available that you might see in a metropolitan area. when we make these drug arrests we bring them into the jail, book them in, immediately book them out. that does not serve the public well or the people arrested

well. >> bill: did the legislature change this and is that allowed based on the constitution of illinois? >> the legislature did this change this to the safety act. the question on the elimination of bail was a constitutional question the circuit court ruled against and it is now sent to the illinois supreme court and well oh he see how they rule. >> bill: for those who support cashless bail, what is their view of criminals and crime and incarceration? why would they support that? >> i think the support comes -- and it is a legitimate argument -- that good people charged with the same crime and one of those persons is financially capable of bonding and the other is not, their question is what does that have to do with public safety? that's a legitimate question.

my concern is and will always be that those folks regardless of their financial position, that commit crimes, when they victimize people there is an option for them to be detained and i think there needs to be some changes made to allow for that. our concern is always public safety. >> bill: the supreme court in your state stepped in. we'll see if the ruling stands. thank you for your time and well oh he -- we'll see if you get the help you need. >> dana: how a wave of cuban migrants is overwhelming the feds in the florida keys. looking for a new year's resolution that could change your life? bill, i know you are. how yoga can improve our physical and emotional well-being. we have a report next. ♪

border patrol. not just texas and arizona. a surge of migrants arrived in the florida keys putting more strain on already overwhelmed authorities in that area. phil keating is live in florida with more. >> this is a beach and the curbent wave of illegal cuban migration to the u.s. is the largest we've seen in a decade. overwhelming not only the federal government but monroe county itself. this is the customs and border protection office where hundreds of illegal cuban migrants will be brought, processed and that will take bus after bus and day after day. could take all week. over the new year's weekend more than 500 cubans arrived in their small, sometimes homemade boats up and down the florida keys. escalating this weekend with 20 separate landings and 200 arriving in the remote areas. they are desperate to escape

cuba, its communist government and economic disaster. the u.s. has remained the park closed for at least two days or longer so personnel can provide humanitarian relief. it is 70 miles west of key west and there are absolutely no services there. it is a popular and historic place for tourists, day trippers. the only ways in and out are by boat or sea plan. they are uninhabited. if you don't bring your own food of water you're out of luck. monroe county sheriff is criticizing the federal government saying it shows a lack of a working plan by the federal government to deal with a mass migration issue that was foreseeable. cubans make the 90 mile journey over open ocean to get to the keys. it is dangerous, often leading to death. search and rescue operations and interdiction by the u.s. coast gad at sea.

processing takes hour. they will plead for political asylum. if they are denied they will be sent right back to cuba. dana. >> dana: thanks for the update. >> bill: now with the new year comes a new opportunity for people to take stock of their own lives. many make resolutions to get in shape including physically, mentally and spiritually. who knows that better than this book living in the light illustrating how the practice of royal yoga, emphasis on royal yoga, talking about meditation, breathing and self-help. nice to see you. good morning to you. great to have you here. before we get to the book tell us what it is about yoga that you find such peace. >> yoga stimulates a part of our brain and our nervous system that involves the nerves in the body that is called the vagas

what about hot yoga? >> that's part of the physical aspects of yoga. most people think it is only physical. it is much more subtle. >> dana: you talked about one of the most important things you can do as people take stock and maybe are looking for not a new year's resolution but a fresh start, you talk about when you expand your awareness there are two things you settle on. we change what we can change and we accept what we cannot change. that's a lot like the serenity prayer that helps people get through. can you expand? >> there are certain things right now that we're unable to change because of the political divide and the polarization in the world. all the polarization in the world is about ideas. so it doesn't matter which idea you take sides on, you are in trouble. you have to transcend both sides and find creative solutions.

even if there are plea negotiations that go on and can continue to go on in the background. the problem he has, they always talk about getting people to cooperate so you can go up the chain. he is the top of the chain. so he doesn't really -- obviously to us he doesn't have anyone to roll over on. so he is looking at very, very steep sentencing guidelines that quickly -- if the numbers we are talking about for fraud get up to 30, 40 years, life in prison pretty eye quickly. >> dana: his ex girlfriend and one of the co-workers decided to cooperate. at some point would he and his defense attorney say we stand alone and nobody else is standing with us? >> they do, dana. but on the other hand, this is not one of those cases where if you roll the dice and go to trial maybe you get seven years, plead guilty you get four. you do the calculation and

figure okay, maybe that's worth going to trial over. but usually what people say it's so much more obviously better to plead guilty that they plead guilty. what will he get out of pleading guilty here? the sentencing guidelines for frauds that are north of $1.5 billion get to life in prison. and what he can get from pleading guilty and telling the government everything he knows about the offense is such a marginal cut in what he would get sentenced to. it might take it down to 30 years. most people in that situation think that you might as well roll the dice and go to trial because there isn't much they can do in the way of a plea. >> bill: you used to worked out of the southern district of new york. we're familiar with that. that's where he has been extradited to. sorry for the bad grammar there, dana. when you think about that he gave $40 million in political

contributions mainly to democrats. is there a claw-back phase where you will be forced to give the money back? >> the history is there is a lot of litigation. what it ends up involving usually the guy who is at the head of the fraud like take a bernie madoff type. he is almost an empty bag by the time he gets caught. almost nothing left. sbf says he has $1 hundred thousand in his bank account. what this litigation involved who would the people who benefited at the early phases of the fraud and the people who lost their shirts usually litigate against those people. it can be drawn out for a number of years. >> bill: just the beginning. nice to sigh. happy new year. we'll rely on you this year. we need your big brain. >> dana: before we go. >> bill: flagstaff, arizona doesn't get too much snow during the winter. it does, actually, yeah.

when the city got several inches over the new year's these two dogs could not contain their excitement. you couldn't keep them in the house. they wanted to find out what the white stuff is all about. >> dana: can you imagine what could exercise that is? >> deepak chopra would love that moment. a moment of joy. >> dana: happy new year. "the faulkner focus" is up next. here she is. >> harris: it was a game and then it was the most important thing of all, life. a young man's life. the nfl called suspended and postponed the monday night football game between the buffalo bills and cincinnati bengals. damar hamlin was down. the images at center field were heart rending. today we await updates on his condition and we'll report those oz they come. right now he is still critical. i'm harris faulkner and you ar
