>> greg: we are out of time. thanks to brian kilmeade, kt mcfarland, jamie lissow, kat timpf. >> trace: good evening, everyone. welcome back and welcome to america's late news, "fox news @ night." i am trace gallagher in los angeles. breaking tonight: football fans rally for damar hamlin outside uc medical center where he remains in the icu in critical condition but his uncle says he has improved. a full report and jim gray straight ahead. idaho murder suspect bryan kohberger appeared before

pennsylvania judge and waived extradition and now we have body cam video of a traffic stop weeks before his arrest where police let him go. a makeshift container wall at the southern border in arizona is being taken down after legal challenges from the biden administration, you know, the people who created the border crisis. plus, democratic governor's busing migrants out of his state. bill melugin is here life with a full report but we begin with chaos on capitol hill after three rounds of votes, kevin mccarthy has so far failed to be elected speaker of the house. rich edson is live with us in the nation's capital with more. good evening. >> good evening. still no speaker. tthe house has adjourned on republicans are trying to figure this all out. kevin mccarthy says there is no circumstance where he drops out of the speakers race. he says he's looking for 11 votes to give him one more than

democratic leader hakeem jeffries. on all three ballots, jeffries received unanimous support from democrats. most republican support mccarthy though a group of largely far right members has been enough to keep mccarthy from the speakership. >> right now our candidate is jim jordan. he is a fighter, leader, he may not want it right now but george washington did not want to be president. he did was right for his country. >> jordan. holdouts say they demanded mccarthy name more conservatives to certain committees. in one concession mccarthy has already agreed to lower the threshold to hold a vote to depose a speaker. only five republicans had led the initial movement against mccarthy, within the voting began, showing 19 and then 20 votes for other candidates. mccarthy supporters say these republicans are moving the goalpost and delaying the work of their new majority. >> tonight we were supposed to vote to rescind funding for the

87,000 irs agents but we can't get to that because we have a group that's pushing for someone who doesn't want the job. >> while mccarthy opponent congressman chip roy says americans are patient enough to wait a day or two for republicans to sort this all out, to become speaker mccarthy needs a majority of all members of voting from the entire house. which includes democrats. a difficult task with a 4-seat majority. mccarthy says he has spoken to former president trump ancestral still supports him. that house next meets at noon on wednesday. >> trace: will be there. rich edson, thank you. let's bring in tonight's political panel. leslie marshall, former communications director for the national republican committee. welcome to you both. matt, i was watching alexandria ocasio-cortez on a different network and she says what happened today shows that the republicans do not have any faith in kevin mccarthy.

your thoughts. >> it was an embarrassing day and it was a chaotic day to say the least. i know what it's like to work two years to finally take back the house and this is your first day. we have an agenda defined the irs this what you're focused on. kevin mccarthy has earned the right to lead this majority. there wouldn't be a majority if it wasn't for him. for it to devolve to a sideshow was mostly personal against him. it's really unfortunate. we need to unite as a party. >> trace: on some of the candidates that he raised money for, they are some of the people voting against him right now who may not be in office without kevin mccarthy. it's interesting because you listen to john kennedy, the senator, and john crenshaw, the congressman from texas and there thing is, don't get this thing all blown out of proportion. listen. >> don't stab each other, okay. they will get it worked out.

they will get it worked out. then there will be some drama for a while. and then hopefully we'll get down to business. >> nobody should be panicking. this is really an inside baseball d.c. swamp kind of exercise in total b.s. >> trace: b.s. that gets worked out according to john kennedy but democrats are enjoying it. >> extra popcorn at the house right now. sadly, i am herbert lukens, we would do the same thing if this were my party. it is an embarrassment. it's disarray, it's fragmented. even when they do get a speaker and eventually they will, it will most likely be mccarthy because i'm sure he's going to promise everything, including naming every child after everybody who wants promises and money. the problem here is the american people put them in charge to get

things done. if you can't get this done, how are you going to get anything done? they have a very slim majority, they are very fragmented as a party. this more than proves it. i'm concerned as an american when they talk about divided government, you have a divided house within a house and that's the republican party. >> trace: some are saying it's beneficial for the-looking party to be like that. i want to put this up, g.o.p. caucus returns. representative kevin mccarthy is not everyone's ideal of a conservative speaker but he's led the house g.o.p. since 2019, raised rules of money for novembers midterms and easily won a leadership vote last year. 188-31. what they are saying here is he really is the guy. there doesn't seem to be a plan b. if mccarthy is not the guy. jim jordan with 20 votes. but really there doesn't seem to be a plan b behind it. >> no. it's not about the next person in line.

if he gives in and orifice plan succeeds and they get this scalp, so to speak, what's to stop the next person from having it happen to them in a month or two months? having this out right now is i think unfortunate. at least we can kind of getting out of the way. if there's one thing nancy pelosi taught republicans, is that united majorities are the ones that can succeed. look at all she did last congress with a very majority herself. i think that is something we can learn from. when we get this behind us, we will, we have to unite. >> trace: it might take a while. 1856. it took 133 ballots, two months. people say maybe the democrats are the ones that put kevin mccarthy in the speaker's chair because they just stopped showing up after 15 or 20 of these, they stop showing up and that lowers the threshold from 218 down to where he can get the speakership. thoughts. >> you're joking. i know the numbers.

democrats, we are united, united to show up. they are not going to sit home and need the popcorn that i'm going to eat. they are going to show up certainly because they would want that to happen. even more embarrassing for mccarthy's hakeem jeffries has more votes than he does. >> trace: the votes could come in the next couple days. we shall find out. thank you both. meantime buffalo bills safety damar hamlin remains in critical condition and the cincinnati hospital tonight after suffering heart failure during a monday night football game against the bengals. kevin corke live with the breaking information on hamlin's condition. kevin, good evening. >> you're right, damar is still in critical condition at a cincinnati area hospital just a day after going into cardiac arrest during a prime time game against the cincinnati bengals. the star football player having his heart restarted on the field by medical officials before he was taken to uc medical center

for treatment. >> his heart had went out so they had to resuscitate him twice. they resuscitated him on the field before they brought him to the hospital and then they resuscitated him a second time when he got to the hospital. >> i'm not a crier. i've never cried so hard in my life. my nephew basically died on the field and they brought him back to life. >> powerful words. a statement, his family writes "on behalf of our family want to express our sincere gratitude for the love and support shown to damar during this challenging time. we are deeply moved by prayers, kind words, and donations from fans around the country." a prayer vigil for the star athlete whose foundation toy drive continues to raise money for those in need. the outpouring of support has truly been inspiring. the chasing m's foundation, community toy drive raising over $5.8 million out of a goal of

$2500, as you see, the number of donors almost up to 200,000. the nfl commissioner roger goodell has informed the league's teams that the game will not be resumed this week. the league has not decided definitively if it will resume at a later date. meantime on social media, all nfl teams have changed their twitter avatars to "pray for damar" with his familiar number 3 jersey anything i speak for all of us when i say prayers indeed. >> trace: indeed. let's bring in sportscaster and fox news to return jim gray. i want to read this, a quote "we are all complicit in the nfl's violent spectacle," going on to read "we can no longer love the game while feigning ignorance of its cost. the players are not avatars are objects which is how they are too often viewed. they are young men putting their lives in the line for our entertainment. what are your thoughts on that? a lot of sports, this very same thing can happen. >> it is dangerous game. the people participating know

that it's dangerous. it's in their contract. it's on the back of their helmet and they willingly do it so i don't agree with that at all. >> trace: it's interesting because you bring up a lot of sports. the truth is they have pictures in baseball they can do the same thing. you can go through every single sport and there are risks in every sport. joe buck says the league told the players they have 5 minutes to warm back up during the game last night. the nfl came out later and said no, no, we never said that. there was a little bit of a controversy on who said what. does it matter if the game was canceled immediately or wasn't canceled for an hour or all of this just kind of background noise? >> it's background noise. joe is getting the information. they have someone who is hired, john. to get the information from the national football league. he is a former official and he's in contact with them. that's what he's being told him he tells the announcers and the producer and joe buck so joe buck is only as good as the information he's being given.

he didn't make it out. i've been in the situation numerous times in one summer he tells you that, they are getting it from an authority so the national football league, they don't have the information either. paramedic, feel, they are just trying to get it right. at that time, we've seen a lot of things. acls, broken legs, concussions, you don't know in that circumstance in the game always continues. in this instance the game couldn't continue. they didn't know that at the time. they are all dealing with proximity. these things happen so fast. you're asking people to make snap decisions when they don't have everything that's involved in having all the information. >> trace: the timing is not important at all? >> i don't think so. they got it right. >> trace: a lot of criticism about concussion particles this year. tua tagovailoa. we mention it again because there's a lot of focus on this and every time something like this happens they tend to change the rules. do you foresee this may be changing the rules? i don't see how they can.

it wasn't a major hit. it wasn't something he would look at as well, that was flagrant or violent or something that should be banned. >> correct. i don't think so. concussions are more frequent. we do know about head injuries and we know a lot more now than we did before. so they have taken steps to protect the players. player safety and particularly in the cornerback situation and defenseless receivers. hits and so forth. i grew up with deacon jones smacking a guy, lyle alexander. you would just smack the guy's helmet. it's changed quite a bit. if the game can be made safer i'm sure it will be but that was a routine play. this is so out of the ordinary. this does not happen. the fact that it happened here, it's dramatic. it's a tragedy and we can only hope that he recovers and is able to lead a normal life. him and i remember quarterbacks in the face mask. it was like you weren't even wearing a face mask. it was all the way down here, it hit in the face all the time.

forget that sports is actually good, it brings people together. a lot of stuff like this is criticized but sports brings this country together in ways that we could never dream off with anything else. take a look at how this tragedy has brought everybody together. look at the amount of money kevin corke just spoke about and that we heard about all day that's been raised. that bill's mafia, those fans are terrific and look at the response in cincinnati, the fans going out and holding vigils outside the hospital. look at what the players on the field. this is a brotherhood. it's, roderick. yes, they try to beat the heck out of each other during the game but immediately after they are hugging and shaking hands and laughing. they are exchanging jerseys. communities come together over sports, it's a rallying cry. people to gather around the television, they gather at the stadiums, they wash it and in this instance it's a sad circumstance but a lot of times -- look at what happens in argentina a couple weeks ago. 4 million people in the streets and a worldwide audience of over

a billion. watching that soccer game and that's what happens here in our country with football. >> trace: i was in a stadium and people were high-fiving after every touchdown. they don't know what political party that person is from and they don't. jim gray, author of "talking to goats. ." wonderful book. podcast on sirius xm. jim, great to have you on. the suspect and the brutal stabbing deaths of four university of idaho students is apparently heading back to ido after weaving a tradition from pennsylvania. jack ibanez's lie with the update. >> good evening, this is the first time the criminology grad student who police they brutally murdered four college students was seen in court. his parents and sister sitting the front row crying through the 28-year-old glancing at his family as he was let out of the courtroom. after stopping authorities for nearly seven weeks a summer

bryan kohberger was shackled and wearing this red jumpsuit. he dodged questions after agreeing to extradition -- waving extradition. his lawyer is confident he will be exonerated and called the suspect "just an ordinary guy." authorities have ten days to get @foxnewsnight in on back to idaho where he faces 4 counts of first-degree murder. it he sitting in front of the judge, the center of the most high-profile murder case in the country right now. police sources tell fox news detectives match dna found at the crime scene with dna from one of the kohberger immediate relatives. submitted to a genealogy website. >> having read those documents in the sealed affidavits of probable cause, i definitely believe that one of the main reasons the defendant chose to waive extradition and hurry his return back to idaho was the need to know what was in those documents. >> on his way back from

washington, kohberger was stopped by indiana state police for speeding. this new body camera footage shows the suspect driving the white elantra and his dad in the passenger seat. at the time, no information was available to the trooper that would've identified kohberger as a suspect in the idaho killings. investigator said during a press conference they are still looking for a murder weapon and a motive for the killings. we may get some details on how investigators tracked kohberger down when the probable cause affidavit is unsealed what should happen when he gets to idaho. hours ago, and i don't judge issued a gag order blocking investigators and attorneys from discussing the case. steve will follow it. thank you. volume 11 of the twitter files dropped tuesday in which matt taibbi takes a closer look at how the social media giant dealt with the public relations crisis at face in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. the latest batch of internal email shows put her executives

>> migrants crossing every day illegally. as the white house believe the border is secure? >> i've told you what we have done. we made this priority to make sure. to make sure there is border security measures. look, look, here's the thing, peter. the president has taken historic actions, we have to be very careful on how we talk about this. it because if we talk about in a way that's misinformation that helps the smugglers. >> trace: in other words, no answer. the democratic governor of colorado is passing the buck on the border crisis going migrants who mute recently arrived from the southern border on buses bound for big cities like new york and chicago, bill melugin is live with more on that. talk about the issue on the other foot. >> this is a new one. good to see you. the student colorado led by democrat governors sending busloads of migrants to new york city. copping what republican governors have been doing as the border remains completely overwhelmed so take a look at

this video here. at least 3500 migrants arrived in denver from the southern border since early december. more than 200 arriving overnight on new year's day and over 1,000 living in city run emergency shelters. as a result, denver's mayor had to declare a state of emergency last month and colorado has earmarked $5 million to assist migrants with bus tickets. colorado's democrat governor assured polis confirms the state has started busting more migrants out of the state to the dismay of new york city mayor eric adams. >> we were notified yesterday that the governor of colorado is now stated that they are going to be sending migrants to places like new york and chicago. this is just that for local government staff to take on this national obligation. >> new york city is a self-proclaimed sanctuary city. the florida keys or seeing a

massive surge of illegal boat landings with border patrols miami sector reporting migrant encounters there are up over 400% since october. sources tell fox news more than 600 cuban migrants landed there over new year's weekend with more than 20 separate landings throughout the keys. processing of these migrants takes weeks, as title 42 does not apply in florida. cdp reports border patrol agents in yuma, arizona, were shot out from mexico. they took cover and thankfully nobody was hit. circling back to those buses that colorado ascending to new york city, we remember texas governor greg abbott has been doing during this for months and he got a wave of criticism. he was called cruel and called human trafficker. now what democrat governor is doing in its radio silence. >> trace: we are not going to talk about the martha's vineyard's flights. eric it's unfair.

because he said it's a national obligation. stand by as we continue this conversation, let's bring a national border patrol council president, brandon judd. the whole concept, we have a million things to talk about but i want to start by saying that the biden administration clearly is behind this border crisis and because of that you had arizona putting up all these containers on the southern border to try to keep some people out at least i know you have the biden administration threatening legal action so arizona is taking down these container walls, if you will. your thoughts on this. >> the honest media outlets call at the biden border crisis and i take it a step further, self-inflicted biden border crisis. he has brought this on himself by implementing policies that encourage people to cross our borders illegally and that's exactly what he's doing in yuma. when they take away these containers, all he's doing is sending the message to smugglers throughout the world and people throughout the world to come

here come across the border illegally in yuma and you ultimately will be released. when you do that, when you implement catch and release, when you reward people for violating our laws, that's when people are going to come and that's when the cartels are so successful in advertising their services and generating billions of dollars in profit. it makes no sense to see what he's doing in you moreno. >> you and i've talked about it, the administration continues to break its own record year after year and month after month when it comes to the crisis the border. taking a look at the final numbers for fiscal year 2022, nearly 2.4 million encounters at the southern border with 600,000 known got-aways. i am hearing from federal sources that these last month of december alone. border patrol had more than 220,000 encounters making it the highest december ever recorded which of course was preceded by the highest november ever recorded which was of course preceded by the highest october ever recorded. what are you hearing about the

numbers last month in december? >> all we do is look at the totality, when you take and look at every single number that we've had since biden has been in office, we are looking at nearly 4.5 million people that have been added to the population that have cross the borders illegally but if they have been released under the catch and release program or whether they deviated apprehension. nearly 4.5 million people. that number just continues to go up month by month. it's so amazing that we see this, we see the cartels being so successful, they move traffic, their people from el paso to our gv to tucson to yuma. they do it depending on what operations are in that specific area. when we started expelling people under title 42, all the cartels did -- sorry, venezuelans, although cartels did was replace them with nicaraguan. cartels are adapted operating

under our policies and generating revenues based on our policies. >> trace: bill is talking about numbers, i want to put this up, fox news op-ed. biden's border crisis. immigration courts had our 2 million plus case backlog and it's more than we can handle. this headline, almost 800,000 people are waiting on asylum hearings which typically take 1,572 days or 4.3 years. in other words from when you apply for asylum, and until actually hit a court room was almost four and a half years and we almost no that every month that list and the length is getting longer. >> it can take up to eight years in certain cases. what that is clearly showing you is people cross the borders illegally, they are released into the united states, they are never leaving. they can come here and get married and then they're going to have a sponsor. they can come here and have a child and then they're going to have a sponsor. they are never leaving the country. i.c.e. reported that they --

deported 70,000 people. that is a spit in the bucket compared to everything going on currently the united states. we have got to get this under control in their policies, programs and operations this administration could put in place right now regardless of what the press secretary says. they can do something that would be helpful. they are refusing to do it. >> trace: brandon judd, bill melugin, gentlemen, thank you both. meantime virginia republican governor glenn youngkin is calling for an investigation into school officials accused of withholding test scores. thomas jefferson high school for science and technology is accused of not releasing psat scores on time for students to apply for scholarships opportunities. more than 1,000 students are thought to be effective. >> we have students who have achieved a real accolade to be a national merit scholar and they weren't told. they weren't told because they didn't want to make the other

students feel bad. when you have a superintendent and loudoun county who expresses a desire that all students will have equal outcomes, no exceptions, this is the kind of just crazy behavior that you get from principals and administrators. >> trace: the virginia attorney general's office said they are reviewing and evaluating those allegations. a business in seattle forced to close because of a rise in crime downtown. if your new year's resolution was to get in shape, one jim says don't come here. the lightning round with jason rantz coming up. first d.c. man's joyride leads him out of the cold. a shark that gets a little too close for comfort to some beachgoers. today's best viral videos next. . just one dose starts to relieve 9 of your worst cold and flu symptoms. to help take you from 9 to none. power through with vicks dayquil severe.
