white pants and nice denim shirt and he jumped on the dirt bike and it took off and he bit it kind of hard. will: right away. emily: did you hurt yourself? will: no, just mud from shoulder to toe. pete: hurt ego and pride. emily: that should happen going to the hegseth estate and get dirty and muddy. pete: it was fun we road around on the property and shotguns and we were wearing the de de dealsd his family brought his boys and jumped on the bikes. it was fun. emily: i loved spending the new year with you guys. nashville at wild horse saloon and i was here in new york city and we entertain add proposal, that was super fun between young man from florida and then his now fiance who was from ukraine. you guys were like color

commentating. i was like, you guys, she's going to say yes. will: she had a very dramatic pause. emily: she was so surprised and shocked and overwhelmed and first time to the states and now she'll be living here. welcome to the u.s.. so excited. that was a really fun night and loved sharing it with you both, and glad you had time at your property before that. that's great. pete: nice time. rachel gets well deserved time off. emily: nice. pete: yeah, we stayed up past midnight. barely. will: now we're living clean. clean living, baby. it's new year. emily: after 15 rounds of voting, the house elects california republican kevin mccarthy as speaker. pete: kevin mccarthy, republican from california and didn't win speakership once before and he took the gavel in a late night session as gop looks to get to work. >> honorable kevin mccarthy of the state of california having receive add majority of the

votes cast is duly e lekked speaker of the -- elected speaker of the house of representative. >> the hard work begins. i may not know all of you, some of you are new, but i hope one thing is clear after this week, i never give up. will: alexandria hoff is live in washington with more. good morning, alexandria. reporter: good morning. pete, you highlighted this earlier and there was a point overnight where there was not going to be a 15th vote and republicans moved to adjourn and minds changed and after midnight, congressman mccarthy was sworn in as speaker. >> there will be times we agree and many times we will differ. i promise our debates will be passionate but they'll never been personal. this chamber is now physically open -- fully open for all americans. i want to give all americans a personal invitation, you are welcome to see this body at

work. reporter: speaker mccarthy squeezed by with 216 votes since republicans bobart and gates voted present instead of no and he needed 215 for majority and democrats unanimously backed hakeem jeffreys and six republicans in total voted present. just to illustrate how contentious things became last night after the 14th vote failure, congressman-elect mike rogers of alabama had to be physically restrained and appeared to lunge at gates and still victory for mccarthy took one more round and with that came a standing ovation. [ chanting usa ]. >> from the great state of california and the next speaker of the 118th congress, kevin mccarthy. reporter: this was the

conclusion of drama-filled speaker vo voting and longest te in 150 years and stalemate in the freedom caucus and mccarthy agreed to key concessions with the ability to oust him more easily if desired and a ray of spending cut withs the gavel in hand, speaker mccarthy finally swore in the 118th congress. >> you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you are about to enter, so help you god. >> i do. >> congratulations. you are now members of the 118th congress. reporter: there were a lot of families along for this ride, this very, very long raid. you can take a look -- ride. you can take a look here and you had sleepy looking rather bewildered children apart of this and less thrilled than the adults across the country that members can start hiring staff and start on legislative work.

speaker mccarthy said he does not feel this drawn out process has weakened his position whatsoever. guys. will: thank you, alexandria. emily: thanks so much. we were talking about this a bit earlier that a lot of the frustrations during this time were that are these elected members serving their constituents right now by holding out? the answer ultimately is yes. looking back, two days went by, now it's gone and in the past. 15 rounds at the time seemed glacial but now it's over and the concessions mccarthy made, the accomplishments that have been agreed to here are pretty significant. i want to focus on one right now, which is giving three members of house freedom caucus seats on the rules committee and affects every single bill that . means as the bill comes to the floor, whether amendments are allowed, how many hours and arguments are allowed for it. that has a really big impact on any bill coming to the floor if the freedom caucus has that input, the bill can remain as they are and it's the amendments

that create wild cards with whether we know in fact it will pass. will: you use add phrase and brought up something i love to focus on and whether or not the 20 holdouts reflected the desires of their constituents. my suspicion is the answer to that is yes. now, there's a lot of people that had criticism for what happened this week among republicans. i'm not one that has criticism and i think democracy is messy and chaos. as i mentioned earlier, i think the house is supposed to represent chaotic passions of the american people. if those 20 didn't represent the desires of their constituents, they'll be voted out in short time. approximately two year's time. they'll be voted out and so my suspicion is whatever reservations are out there within the republican electorate about leadership, kevin mccarthy, the establishment, status quo from the past, it probably more than the 10% represented by those 20 holdouts. pete: i love what you said earlier and house is meant to be the passion and pulse of the people. there's a important exchange from last night, it didn't look

like around midnight, i was watching, that mccarthy would get the gavel. the 14th vote was a tie with gaetz and boebert voting present and then gaetz comes to mccarthy and there was a deal struck and reporting that donald trump was working the phones to boebert and gaetz stood up and pressuring him to change his vote and walked down to mccarthy and it was clear they were going to change the way he voted and they all rushed to vote again. it was a motion to adjourn meaning not vote again that had been introduced by the republicans and they were done until gaetz changed and then they voted again at which point all six of those who were objecting voted present, which put mccarthy over the threshold and i agree with you, will, i don't care if they vote 100 times and not looking back on the process of how we got here but we'll remember what kind of

governing mayorty the republicans had -- majority had and if they're ensuring all the bills are read and find out all the nonsense that's in it and not the pelosi approach to pass then find out what's in it. that's a good thing and it reflects people who are sick of the uniparty of washington dc like mitch mcconnell with the omnibus and republicans looking no different than the democrats and the house better be resistant to that and i think this is the beginning o f that and it elmore -- of that and empowers mccarthy in an interesting way and his members will be behind him. emily: a perfect example of what you said, pete, newly elected eastern oklahoma congressman articulated why he eventually said, yes, i will vote in good faith for mccarthy. said i'm not going to vote for him till i get assurances that the bills surrounding spending on the federal budget will be treated differently than they have in ten years, which is exactly the same point that

brett baer made saying mccarthy won because the gop is done with the left's spending. pete, to your point, we're sick of treating our money, taxpayer's money the same way the left does. take a watch. >> i think this all came back to a real anger about the process of spending in congress. and conservatives were sick of it and sick of this omnibus spending bill deal where $1.7 trillion gets jammed down their throats at the end of december as they're heading to holiday break, and they have 24 hours to read 7,000 pages. they said this is not working so that's one of the ways that they expressed themselves that they wanted to change that process. in the rules that will be negotiated on monday, that is changed. will: we'll talk about this more throughout the morning. brett's point about spending and yours as well, emily, your point, pete, about the process and what we can have

presbyterians for in the future, i definitely think that's part of it but not all of it. at least coming to the american elector rat. i think -- electorate. we'll save time in the program to talk about this but i think the idea of what it means to be conservative has not aligned with what it means to be republican. for the last several years -- so short term team victories for republicans have not been victories for conservatives. i think that's what's happening in the american electorate. we're living in a world of mandatory vaccines and as far as i'm concerned, battles over marginal tax rates don't fit anymore. who fights for the american people? i'm okay taking 17, 15, 20 votes to get there if it's necessary. pete: last night, that picture you saw a preview of the modern left leadership. hakeem jeffries took to the stage to introduce mccarthy, as tradition the losing party introduces and hands the gavel

to mccarthy and gave what can be considered a disgusting partisan speech and calmed basically republicans autocrats, bigots, hatred and talked about mar-a-lago, racism, and tyranny. it was as if he was anointing himself shadow speaker as minority. think nancy pelosi was bad, you've got ideologues and not effective as politically as pelosi, who knows, but ideologically, he's even more extreme than pelosi was. that's what mccarthy is up against against and he'll have to close ranks with his members to pass an agenda that the senate will project. white house will reject. we know that. we can create the contrast and you have the power of the purse and that spending can be held to account. emily: would you expect any different where cori bush cowelled the nomination -- called the nomination of byron donalds a prop.

this is that same party. pete: please start the investigations like ten minutes ago. get the committees in order and get to work. emily: that's right. will: meanwhile joe biden says he's headed to the border and kevin mccarthy said it's one of the first orders of business. biden is head there had and here's why according to karine jean-pierre. >> i want to clarify, why make the trip now and not six months ago and not a year ago? >> we're clearly heading to mexico city and made sense to stop and see what border enforcement operations were like and meet those local officials who have been impacted. pete: can we get that guy a bigger mask, please. just all over his face. order one up. so what we've learned is that this is a pit stop, a layover, will, he's really going to mexico city and he'll stop by. we talked to residents this hour and yesterday, they're cleaning

up, sanitizing el paso so whatever joe biden sees with his own eyes will not be what residents have seen for months and years. that's what they do when they want to choreograph the perception for biden. is he going to stand with border agents? it's a show and a layover. will: meanwhile, doug mcgregor, he's a retired army colonel and he was on tucker and talked about so many issues coming to the southern border and it'll be interesting to see what sparks joe biden and the immigration crisis -- the fentanyl crisis piggy backs on top of the immigration crisis and mcgregor said it's an existential threat to the unit. united states. >> mexico and united states writ large is existential threat to the country. remember, they reach into the united states, all of your major

cities, there are networks there that reach back into mexico. that's why they're power and feel that's a war that will eventually have to be fought because at some point we'll shut down the border because things will have gotten that bad. when we do the drug cartels because we've cut off their income. we're going to have to fight inside the united states as well as on our border. that's going to demand the united states army because our border patrol is not nearly as well equipped and they're outgunned, outperformed in every sense, every category of military power by the cartels. will: fascinating conversation if you don't mind among the two of you during the middle of that clip as we heard. so m macgregor describes it as n existential threat and literally means could take us down and end the united states. whatever is happening in ukraine is not an existential threat to

the united states of america. we should have 100% agreement and no ability to end the united states. i don't disagree by the way. china more subversively and maybe over a longer term but macgregor is right about mexico and what's going on with the criminallalty and fentanyl and -- criminality and fentanyl and it's existential threat. pete: i don't think it's existential but massive and extreme. the longer he spoke and more he played it forward, i said that early in the clip, the more you play forward the cascading effects if someone did close the border and how the cartel would respond and the tentacles of what the cartels -- we have no idea the tentacles of the cartels inside our own boarders and what if they did rise up and start to create disturbances inside based on the people pumped into our own country based on supply lines in mexico. look at the war they're having with their own country. it's bad. will: unfettered illegal immigration is existential threat. it may be called united states

of america but it's not the same. if you have unfettered illegal immigration, you've changed the entire population base and that's a different country. that's just an objective truth. pete: just like matt gaetz last night, i'd like to change my vote. i'd like to change it right now. will: red card. where's the red card? pete: existential threat. emily: keep in mind, that's why the governor is down there trying to designate the cartels as terrorist and doing everything in their tool box to get federal resources to stymie it so we have to enlist the army to do what the border patrol can't do because they're underfunded. pete: it's really, really bad right now but consider where democrats are, which means they want to continue to facilitate the open border's process. extreme -- let's hope to god these things don't happen. it would have to get really bad for dc to get the courage to

take the kind of measures necessary to actually close it. then think of the ripple consequences of that and still stand strong. weather correspondent really are in a -- we really are in a bad to the. will: turning to a few additional headlines. a 6-year-old boy is in custody after allegedly shooting his teacher at an elementary school at new port. police say it was no accident and the educator is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries after being shot in the chest with a handgun. officials are looking into a motive as well as how the boy got the weapon. no students were hurt. pete: wow. will: new york times report reveals the pentagon new children were killed hours after a botched drone strike that killed ten civilians in kabul two years ago and made misleading statements to the american people over that so called over the horizon attack in afghanistan. the biden administration claimed for weeks the isis official launched the attack despite no

information to bong the claim. pete: they knew right away and lied about it. will: more than two dozen members of congress beating the stock market in 2022 despite a downturn on wall street. a new analysis by a very good account shows republican patrick fallon is at the top of the winner's list but his portfolio lost money last year. the report comes after wall street suffered its worst year since 2 2008. new house speaker kevin mccarthy is vowing to crackdown following insider trading following nancy pelosi's failure to get new rules in place. pete: the reports lay out thousands of trades. will: the stockbrokers are the congress people. pete: some are up slightly or down a little because they've got the info. emily: including pelosi's husband. how ironic and they fail to serve in their capacities to get what they need and self-serving their own interest.

of course. pete: coming up, a massachusetts mother missing since new year's day and her former home catching fire after her disappearance and the police chief working around the clock on this bizarre case joins us next. emily: plus, it's like something out of a video game, a rhino caught on camera chasing tourists on a safari. that story is coming up.they ♪

and i know she'd not go a day without speaking to her husband and kids. chief, how does that impact the tenor of your search? >> every hour getting more concerned for her wellbeing and at this point in the investigation we have more questions than answers. emily: have you been receiving tips or receiving help from the public at all? >> we have. there's been an outpouring of support and helpful information from the public and asking that that continues. emily: because this phase is still missing persons, tell us how that affects resources allocated or priorities your department is working on as they search for her. >> well, this is a top priority. it's one of our residents obviously and a mom of three young children, anyones 6 down to age 2. we have detectives working around the clock as well as we're receiving help from the massachusetts state police. emily: all right, is there any

federal collaboration at this point or between you and other state police or what additional resources are you depending on at this time? >> we have been working with the federal partners and at this point this morning we have detectives from cohasset police along with troopers from massachusetts, state police in route to washington dc to interview some people and chase down some leads in dc and work alongside washington metropolitan police. she does have connections to the dc area. emily: and, chief, the fire is just -- raises so many questions. what do we know with that so far at all? >> troopers from the state fire marshal's office are investigating that place. very strange circumstances, again, more questions than answers at this point. you know, we're looking into it and we'll leave no stone unturned. emily: right. do we know when we can expect animals, a determination of what exactly started that fire or

will: fox news alert, kevin mccarthy is officially sworn in as speaker of the house and this after a marathon four days, 15

rounds of voting. oklahoma congressman kevin hern's name was thrown out for speaker a few times as the process played out. >> the honorable kevin hern of the state of oklahoma has received seven. >> rosendale. >> kevin hern. >> hern. will: congressman kevin hern joins us now with his reaction. congressman, great to have you there on the program. despite being nominate through several rounds and you voted for speaker mccarthy in all 15 rounds of voting. tell me, as you saw this process play out and some of these concessions that were made in the negotiations, how do you feel about speaker mccarthy's ability to bring the republican constituency together moving forward? >> thanks for having me. the real winner in this was the american people. you all have reported on this for the last four years and before that even that the american people are tired of a dysfunctional congress where we're spending money.

it's out of control and it's devastating our future and generations for kids and grand kids, and then what we've seen with the wokism that's gone on, and what you've seen over this last four days is really just the resetting of where congress should have been at a long time ago having negotiate add lot of deals in -- negotiated a lot of deals in my lifetime on a large scale, this is what you see happen in negotiations and really everybody was involved in this. speaker pelosi caused this but the damages she's done to congress over the last four years. now we have speaker mccarthy that's worked hard over the last four days and i would argue over the last four months to get us to this point. i felt until he couldn't move these negotiations forward, i would continue to vote for him. when that didn't happen, we'd have to look at a different direction. will: do you worry, congressman, when it comes to policy, to making law that republicans will run into similar difficulty in getting everybody on the same page, it'll continue to have

holdouts be it the freedom caucus or whatever it may be, that put him in a position of having trouble getting to a majority? >> well, certainly it's going to be hard work, and he certainly understands that. he understands the rules, speaker mccarthy understands the rules that's been negotiated and what he has to live under. he said i'm not afraid and we'll take him at his word for that and we'll all work together. as the chairman myself of the republican study committee, all about policy, some 170 of the 222 members so very large swath from the furthest right to moderate republicans, we're going to work alongside to help him push for the most conservative outcome of every bill that's put forward. one of the big issues in this negotiation was around spending. we're out of control in our spending and the second part of this was empowering the members of congress so the voice of the members could be heard when it came to congress and that's what we needed to work on and we got that done. will: you may have answered that

question and on the list of concessions that we have, we can put them up on the screen here, that were part of this negotiation. would you mind telling me what you think on that list -- what do you think is the biggest victory? what worries you the most perhaps as well on that list of concessions? >> well, i think probably just because i spent the last two years writing the only two budgets that have been done in congress and i've seen this at the very detailed level of the largest budgets in the world so get together balanced budget of which the rnc put out last year, which i chaired for six years and this year about seven years and actually doing that, that's exciting for the american people, everybody in america has to balance their budgets. the one i think that will be the most challenging for us because of the small margins is making sure we pass all the 12 appropriations bills that we can send to the senate and hold them accountable for making america more fiscally responsible for the american taxpayer dollars. will: congressman, i really appreciate you answering that

directly. i asked you for your biggest concern and excitement on that list and you didn't dodge either of them. that's a refreshing start to the 118th congress. i appreciate you being on the show this morning. thank you, congressman kevin hern. >> thank you, will. will: coming up, accused killer bryan kohberger hiring a forensic expert to examine the crime scene as a blood-stained mattress is removed from the home. the case the suspect's team could make.

pete: idaho murder suspect bryan kohberger's defense team is bringing on an expert in crime scene reconstruction and blood spatter analysis. this comes mere hours after kohberger's arrest affidavit is unsealed revealing key details about the house layout and the roommate that came face-to-face with the killer. criminal defense attorney molly palmer joins us with what we might expect come trial time. molly, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. pete: we've seen the affidavit, dna evidence, cell phone evidence, eyewitness accounts on scene. if you're the defense team trying to reconstruct this, what's their approach? >> well, you have to remember, pete, that the government has the burden of proof in this case; right. the district attorney in idaho

has to prove every element as charged beyond a reasonable doubt. what the defense team is going to do is try and create that doubt so the unsealed affidavit is law enforcement's version of the offense so now we see the defense team going into the crime scene and seeing if they agree with that version. they're going to examine the forensics, they're going to likely do additional witness interviews and see if in fact their theory matches that of the state. pete: he's pled not guilty. where would you start? would you try to disprove the dna, prove he was somewhere else, or are you admitting he's been there once? if you're defending this guy, how do you attempt to? >> i think you do all of that. in terms of dna, we know that dna can be transferred from one place to another so the fact it's on a knife sheaf in a party house where there was a lot of different people coming in and out maybe is not conclusive unto

itself and in terms of cell phone location data, if there's a plausible explanation for another place that kohberger might have been that would result in pinging that same cell tower, that can contribute to his defense as well. pete: here are some of the new developments we've learned in the court documents you're referred to. we learn that had the surviving -- learned that the surviving roommate heard crying and saw the killer and didn't call 911 for six or seven hours later, we're not sure why. suspect's car was scene leaving the area at a high rate of speed at 4:20 a.m.. knife cover with suspect's dna left on the scene. trash from the suspect's family home in pennsylvania was used to match dna at the scene. the phone traced near the victim's home 12 times before the murder. phone traced to an area of the crime scene the morning after the murders. is this a defense you would want to try to undertake? >> well, you know, i'll undertake any defense. i think any good defense attorney would do just that, but the reality is we're at the very

beginning stages of this case. so there is a lot that remains to be scene. any good defense attorney is going to go into this case somewhat skeptical, open minded, and they're going to do their own thorough investigation just as law enforcement has. pete: is there any moment where you as a defense attorney would step in and say we need to rethink this plea deal. really, they've got you dead to rights? >> absolutely. i mean, i think at this juncture it's a bit too early to do that, but certainly part of the defense attorney's role is to counsel your client and advise them when the evidence is overwhelming. pete: all right. as this case unfolds, we'll have to have you back and break down their attempt as a defense. molly parmer, thank you so much. >> thank you. pete: it is 44 minutes after the top of the hour. now to emily for headlines. emily: thanks, pete. now to the headlines starting in mexico where the extradition of el chapo's son is on hold after
