opinion, accountability on the chair, transparency for the american people, making sure we have energy independence, making sure the border is clear and a big omnibus bill. a lot of things had been done prior to the first vote, to clear that up for the american people. >> ashley: jim jordan says they will come together, do you foresee another issue issue not an issue, situation like we saw last week? >> cory: i think democracy, it is great we are debating issuing on the floor. that is what the american people want to see. do i think certain people are upset there are committee assignments? of course, that bothers me, it should go through the regular order and process. i will say when it comes to securing border, getting

border and threatening our sovereignty. i applaud governor ron desantis, he continues to be right on issues humaning to stop fentanyl or helping with border crisis or stopping covid mandates, this is florida leaning forward and leading by example. >> ashley: okay, congressman cory mills, congratulations to you. we appreciate your time. >> cory: thank you, have you great morning. >> ashley: buffalo bills returning to the field for the first time since damar hamlin's collapse. >> breaking a tackle and taking a pass and down the sideline he goes, this is storybook and opening kickoff return for damar hamlin. >> todd: wow, hamlin was cheering them on from his hospital bed. he could be on his way home in just a matter of days.

with children, getting everything she could while keeping children in remote learning and said teacher should not go back to school without a vaccine despite the fact the cdc said schools could reopen. president trump prioritized teachers sag i make sure they get vaccinated early on and president biden did the same thing. randi weingarten said, i wanted more and cdc adopted what the union put forward for school reopening and then you had schools in remote learning despite the fact we knew mental health was on the rise and scores were down. 2022 graduating class just had the lowest act scores in three

decades, 40% are not act ready, math and reading scores down in elementary and middle school kids, we'll reap the consequences for decades to come, randi weingarten has to go. >> todd: we have to go because the time is over, we appreciate your time. joe biden border crisis as democrats turn on each other again and two sanctuary city mayors are talking. >> ashley: new batman storyline follows the joker getting pregnant and giving birth. fans are confused about this and i know i am. we'll talk to joe concha about it next. ♪ ♪ acoustic soul music throughout ♪

created by federal prosecutors, this is an effort to contact or inform possible victims of sam bankman-fried. it reads, if you believe you have been a victim of fraud of sam bankman-fried contact the united states attorney's office. this as disgraced founder of ftx faces counts of conspiracy for money laundering, commodities fraud, securitieses fraud, defrauding the u.s. government and commit campaign finance violation, which is interesting. the question is what can be clawed back. donations went to organizations, political groups, most have not commented if they will return the money. stanford medicine got 4.5 million, they say we are quote

waiting for legal clarity" before they return their money. stanford, you will not return 4.5 million, you are waiting for legal clarity. >> ashley: tiktok and meta are facing a lawsuit. >> cheryl: suing social media companies like tiktok and meta and more, the plaintiffs write defendants recommend and promote harmful content to youth such as an exia content. anxiety and depression ballooned from 2009 to 2019 and they say it is the fault of social media. we'll see if there is some type of financial angle to this when that goes to court. >> todd: i'm shocked it is coming from seattle, big tech hub. people are upset about this. cheryl, the internal democratic

pressure got to democrat colorado governor jared polis. >> cheryl: it did, colorado canceling plans to sent migrants to new york city and chicago. in a letter from the mayors, they say, we have seen your statement in the media you are accomodating the request of migrants, the migrants do not have ties to welcome them. so fair point, but it is interesting all it takes is another democrat to upon to the buses coming to new york. >> todd: no problem with the flights, they were fine with the democrats. critics ripping president biden for comparing asylum seeking migrants to jews fleeing during the holocaust. >> president biden: it is human

right if your family is being prosecuted, it was human right for jews in germany to be able to go to escape and get help where they could. >> ashley: joe concha is joining us now. joe, what do you make of what you just heard from the president? >> joe: if you are any family who had family members that survived the holocaust or died, does not matter, for him to use this comparison, commander-in-chief talking about folks from venice, haiti nicaragua, you name it, doing it to flee persecution, not much you have to add to that, other than say this is not a serious person taking on the most serious problem this country is facing and this wasn't a serious

visit, he didn't go to eagle pass, where bill melugin has been reporting from, he goes to el paso, which was cleaned up to look real nice by the time he got there and you didn't see the migrants living in the streets. this was check the box exercise because he is probably running for re-election, if he was serious, he would restart wall construction and talk about ending catch and release, reinstate remain in mexico policy, which was highly effective. he is going there now to avoid the question of when are you going to the border? don't hold your breath, guys. >> todd: enforce the law on the books, he refuses to do it and here we are. get your thoughts on this, bizarre new batman storyline with the joker becoming pregnant

and giving birth. this is a statement you could not say 10 years ago, this is the world we live now. we have had comic book fans saying no one is buying this, why instead of reading the market and stopping the woke garbage strategy, they are doubling down on woke? >> joe: no longer the joker, he's the woker, apparently he got pregnant because somebody cast a spell on him, not like the joker became transgender, who knows and who cares. everything has to be impacted, including comic books, which is ultimate escapism for children and adults. we have to go down this route where we inject this stuff into what otherwise usually used to be a safe zone, no longer the case. >> ashley: if you saw those

images, it is just disgusting to me to see this. i understand it is a comic, it is every place we turn to now, we cannot escape it. >> joe: yeah, and you talked about randi weingarten before with dr. sapphire and as far as teacher unions and everything going on since covid began and in florida a law called parental rights bill, don't say gay bill, as young as kindergarten being taught about gender identification and ron desantis said enough, we are not dealing with this, in our schools, we can't escape not doing blocking and tackling we should be doing. >> ashley: joe concha, thank you, we appreciate it.

>> todd: police are searching for the man who shot and killed a robbery suspect in houston, texas. inside a taco shop, the suspect dressed in all black pointing his gun at customers demanding money. a customer pulled out a weapon and pull the trigger killing the suspect, he picked up the money and returned to every customer before leaving the scene. police say they need to speak with him. >> ashley: investigators are puzzled as to why the surviving roommate waited eight hours before calling police that night. former fbi agent joins me now, good morning to you.

>> good morning, thank you for having me. >> ashley: no problem. what do you make of this? what are your thoughts on the fact the roommate waited eight hours after she saw this alleged killer? >> i think this was comly frozen in fear, judging from the affidavit. from somebody who has faced myself the worry of being killed, you do freeze, that is a normal response to freeze or flee. she had a normal response to this, the stress of seeing this masked man at four in the morning, she secreted herself in her bedroom, according to the affidavit. i believe she passed out or became unconscious because of the stress. >> ashley: what we learned from the investigation, let the

investigation play out. at first everybody thought it was going to go cold. but this roommate's testimony is going to be important in this trial. what happens if so many people online muddy this water and she says i cannot testify, what happens then? >> well, i'm hopeful she has a victim advocate working wither had from the fbi and hoping she is shielded from the social media. it is actually relentless against her, termed dm in the affidavit. she is not a villain, she's a victim in this situation. >> ashley: right, i think i would do the same thing issue frozen in your tracks, go to your room, shut the door and nobody was there, no one can say how she was feeling. there are a lot of people saying kohberger was spotted at a vigil

several days after the killings, what do you make of this? is that typical behavior of someone who was guilty? >> absolutely typical behavior, they want to be in the midst of what is happening and be abreast of everything. i believe whoever committed this murder watched closely on social media, eating it up for tip as to what the investigation and direction it was going, but also sort of seeing beforehand what he had done play out in the media, he loves this attention. >> ashley: classes resume wednesday for the students on campus, do you think there is renewed sense of relief for students and parents, too, because they left without a suspect being in custody and there has been a lot trans pyre from there. i think it has a lot to say

about the police work in the area. >> yes, just an excellent job done and there is a huge sense of relief to go back on campus now not fearing anymore of something like this happen, because this individual, at least individual is behind bars making that community more safe. >> ashley: jennifer, thank you for being with us and giving your take on this story, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> ashley: turning to el paso, officials are accused of covering up the migrant crisis by clearing camps before the visit. >> todd: will cain will tell us what the residents are saying next.

. >> todd: president biden set to met with the president of mexico today after making a controlled pit stop at our southern border on his way to mexico city. >> ale alexandria hoff joins us from washington. >> control is a good word. brief are to see the situation for himself. critics are saying this was a sanitized version ahead of preponderates. street had been cleared of migrants forced to camp out there due to processing. the sweep happened before the president's visit was announced. >> hi. [inaudible] >> over four hours a president walked a portion of the u.s. mexico border and stopped at a port of entry. texas governor greg abbott pointed thought a letter to the president the true crisis is playing out elsewhere writing

your visit site where vast illegal immigration occurs and side steps angry property owners who lives have been destroyed by your border policy. even the city you visit has been sanitized of the migrant camps which have overrun downtown el paso because your administration wants to shield you from the chaos texans experience on daily basis. here is more from the governor. >> it just so happens two years and about $20 billion too late. he needs to step up and take real action including reimbursing the state of texas for money we spent but resources for the federal government to do its job. he wanted to work with his office. he was cordial. >> the president is going to have to work on these numbers. protborder protection. tripled and rose by additional 100,000 plus by 2022. on track to break record yet

again this year. the number of encounters at the southern border in total has reached 78,000 so far this fiscal year with 198,000 expelled under title 42. immigration is on the agenda for when president biden meets with leaders of mexico and canada today. the president also mentioned before departing that he did not read the governor's letter as of then. guys? >> ashley: alexandria hoff, thank you. we will bring in "fox & friends weekend" co-host will cain who is in el paso right now. we have all seen imgarages in the past year and a half of el paso starting to get really bad is that a good depiction of what it looks like there right now? >> well, you know, actually over the last couple of days there has been a pretty extensive clean-up effort to make sure when president biden arrived here in el paso it two look nothing like what it has looked like over the last several

months. you have seen the before and after pictures of downtown el paso. i have talked to some of the business owners in that area of town as well. they have had a massive problem. most of the migrant camps have been right there in downtown that's the thing and it's important to understand the numbers. those numbers are important but sometimes numbers, i feel like, can be a little stale and dry. so yesterday, right here on "fox & friends weekend" we had several el paso residents who have lived here for decades their entire lives perspective and context to give us tell us what is life like right now as compared to the past? here's what they had to say. >> he has never visited in his 50 years in office. but the only reason is he visiting now is because he is going to run for 2024. >> it's a photo op. they cleaned up the streets. they're going to show them clean not like they look normally with thousands of immigrants living in the streets. >> he doesn't have to create new laws. just enforce them. that's all that needs to be done.

>> will: ashley and todd those individuals were there to protest when president biden arrived. yesterday on the set people who lived here hose parents about immigrated from juarez. the rio grande river. the border wall is right next to me. this is actually a point we're between points of entry as people said. president biden needs to not go to ports of entry but see where tempted illegal crossings are. thousands were camped out here a month or two ago to try to cross the river and come in where we are sitting right now. so, about president biden see that what everyone here has experienced for months? no. did he finally i guess, at least arrive at the southern border. yes. >> todd: there's two things to point out about where the president went. one, you pointed out the obvious. there wasn't as much activity there, not even close to the other parts of the border that we have seen bill melugin, griff jenkins go to. i thought the left said walls are racist.

what do you think joe biden is seen walking right by a wall despite some saying he can't have a wall. walls are bad. so on and so forth? >> will: that's a good point. everything can be racist when you write an article from thousands of miles away. sit in a room in front of a computer and thors about the way someone impact. when you live in the real world and deal with issues literally at your feet here in your life, on your streets. maybe it's not so obvious that you can just throw those kinds of words around to dismiss an argument. to dismiss people's lives. can't just say that's racist. you might have to say we have a problem and at least president biden was told that by texas governor greg abbott. in response, as you heard today from alexandria, says we are going to help with resources. we will see that's needed from the united states federal government. >> ashley: he at the end of al leaks andrea's bit there said he didn't even read abbott's letter which said he did not go to the

worst places. there was one woman in your sound that you used and she was talking about how the city of el paso cleaned before he got there. did anyone else say anything about specifically being mad at el paso for doing that? what would be the point? that's like cleaning up after your parents are gone for the weekend for your brother and sister who had a party just to cover for the parents to get home so you won't get in trouble? what was the point of that? did anybody say anything? >> will: no. no one did, ashley, to that exact question no. one did express anger at el paso or border patrol for establishing the cleanup. did i ask that question to a man who runs the downtown business district here in el paso. and his response was at least it's finally addressed. his response was we need help. and for whatever motivation that comes in whatever way it can affect our quality of life i will accept for now and hope for here after the president leaves we can find a more experiment solution. >> todd: now the question becomes what comes of today's

visit between president biden and the mexican president? are they going to address the border or is this going to become the latest climate change conference where people talk a good game and nothing happens with regard to anything, except for the destruction of the united states energy industry? will cain have a great "fox & friends." we'll be watching for you. with that, ashley it's been a pleasure the last couple days. >> ashley: it has been. >> todd: "fox & friends" begins now. >> president biden in el paso, texas for his first visit to the southern border. >> critics are saying that the sanitizing streets downtown spools been cleared. >> this is a photo op. this is ridiculous. >> newly elected house leader kevin mccarthy facing a house battle on a contentious rules package. >> agreed to seat of rules that may not be an easy sell. >> these things are critical to have a functioning republic. >> the husband of a missing mother anna walsh is now in custody for misleading police after his wife vanished on thief
