? ? >> we are is the the battle ship? >> somewhere in there. >> look close. i should have brought my telescope. >> thanks for joining us at the end of "fox & friends", cape fear. >> run to the radio. have a great show. >> bill: good morning. well, president biden went there. he finally set foot on the southern border. republicans saying it is a crisis of his own creation. how we get out of this is anybody's guess today. hope you had a great weekend. i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." it was significant, the first trip in an entire political career, one of the most difficult problems to solve and only spent a few hours there. he has been in politics for 50 years, first visit to the border.

he toured a port of entry in el paso but stayed away by communities impacted by illegal immigration. >> bill: too little, too late? republicans saying the president's visit with as nothing put a photo op. >> the president that caused the chaos on the border needed to be here. it so happens he is two years and $20 million too late. nothing but for show. immigration laws already in exist in the united states of america. >> he is coming in after we've already seen too many of our united states sit stens die of fentanyl. too many criminals make it into the united states evaded apprehension. complete and total chaos on our border. >> bill: a moment reaction from texas lieutenant governor dan patrick. griff jenkins is in eagle pass, texas. jacque heinrich? mexico city where the president

wakes up this morning. let's start there, good morning. >> good morning to you, bill. today we'll only get a glimpse of president biden as he sits down with the mexican president ahead of a meeting with the canadian prime minister that we will not see. the factor that's looming large over this summit is whether or not we'll get any sort of new coordinated effort on how to crack down on not just the human smuggling aspect of this, but drug smuggling, the cartel factor. biden announced a new policy ahead of his trip here that would increase legal migration opportunities for people from nicaragua, cuba, venezuela and haiti and also consequences for illegal immigration on those immigrants. critics say that it does not address the whole problem. >> the issue is bigger than just the migrants. this is run by a trans national criminal organizations, the cartels. they're using the human smuggling and making a lot of money off it and then flowing

drugs across behind it. >> so far this fiscal year u.s. authorities seized nearly 5,000 pounds of deadly fentanyl. to put it in perspective, just two pounds could kill a half million people. last year more than 14,000 pounds came across the u.s. border. fentanyl killed more americans last year than cancer, car accidents, covid and suicide. ahead of this trip mexican authorities arrested el chapo's son and since the cartels have declared war on the mexican government killing more than 30 people and forcing down two military planes. arrest is described as a gift to biden and subtle message there the mexican president his strategy has reasoning to. mayokas acknowledged about

cartels. advocates say -- they don't have means to fly from abroad. >> migrants who reach the border in between the ports of entry on the vast majority, if not more than that, are using smuggling organizations to get there. and the average cost is $6 thousand. so it is not a wealth test. >> the situation here is so bad since guzman's arrest that members of congress say it is proof biden has to choose to help mexico in its fight against the criminal organizations. congressman michael waltz says it's time for the u.s. military to start applying intel again assets and cyber drones. we're fighting in a war against a pair a military operation with billions in assets. >> bill: we'll watch the trip as it moves throughout the day today. >> dana: griff jenkins is live in eagle pass, texas, another border town where the migrant

crisis is overwhelming local resources. >> it is, dana. cbp sources moments ago telling fox news in the last 24 hours, there were 518 migrant encounters in the el paso sector alone. yet white house indicated the president did not witness any migrants in the three stops he made in el paso. cbp sources also say in the first 100 days of the fiscal year that began on october 1st there have been more than 718,000 total migrant encounters across the entire southwest border of which 198,000 were expelled under title 42. a decrease of people expelled by title 42. we spoke with ranchers and landowners in this area. here is what they said about the president's visit. listen. >> everything is picked up, everything is clean, everybody

is on their best behavior frnlt if he wanted to see what was happening on the border come to someplace more active. >> had he come here, dana, this morning he would have seen just before dawn this group of about 164 migrants by our count. they come every day here across the river to be processed. many will be released and then finally, this new video. i shot this about an hour ago literally near where i am standing. you can see this group of eight adult migrants from the dominican republic with one child. the gentleman here, the father of the child, telling me his message for president biden thank you, we're looking for work. it is poor in our home country. that's the snapshot the president would have gotten had he come here. >> bill: let's get reaction texas lieutenant governor dan patrick. welcome back to our program. good morning to you. i don't know if he will be back over the next two years for the remainder of his term or whether

or not it's a one and done operation here. simple question. what's going to change because of it? >> nothing. in fact, it may only get worse, bill. because he actually is talking about bringing more people in. i thought it was interesting in your clip that mayokas talked about the cartels charging $6 thousand a person between the entry points. i thought mayokas said the border was secure. apparently he knows the cartels are pushing people across at $6 thousand or more per head. i guess he really doesn't know what he is talking about or has been lying to us all this time. and when trump came to the border i spent a couple of visits with him on the border. the trip was different bill and dana. he came, spent a lot of time. i remember in the -- going up to the river's edge and having a round table meeting that went for an hour and hour and a half

with local officials. the president really wanted to learn. donald trump really wanted to learn what was going on and fix it. this president doesn't want to know what's going on. he didn't see any illegal im granulitis. they cleaned up and sanitized el paso before he got there. it was another tour stop at el paso like kamala harris took. away from the action. not that a lot of people haven't been crossing there but they cleaned up and sanitized everything for his visit. >> dana: we have pictures for everybody to see at home. this was the situation of migrants in el paso photographs of that before the visit and then after. so you can see that pretty stark difference. usually this can happen when somebody is coming to town and they don't want him to see. i do want to ask you about this. now -- the question is no longer when will you go to the border. they can say he went to the border.

they've answered that question even if it was a check the box exercise. you have eight senators who will be going to the border, senator cornyn from texas will be one of them. do you think that there might be some way, some momentum to get texas the resources it needs to secure the border as the governor said in his letter to biden is $20 billion in two years too late. is there light at the end of the tunnel here? >> i don't know. as long as you have a secretary of homeland security who is a liar. he needs to resign or be fired. if biden is serious about securing the border, number one, he would offer mexico as congressman waltz said help to their military. i'm not saying sending military troops but we're helping ukraine. how about helping mexico fight against the cartels who mayokas admits is pushing people now across the border? number two, i don't see any

reduction. we're talking about more people coming across, not less people. biden should implement the remain in mexico policies. those seeking asylum stay in mexican. he should not be fighting the ending of title 42. he may go there for a photo op. but everything he does is opposite of what he says. if you think about it, he didn't say yesterday about securing the border. we're beginning our session tomorrow and i've already authorized in our budget, that we've been writing for some time another $4 million and the house will too. when trump was president we spent $4 hundred million a year and now we spend several billion a year. texas taxpayer money. >> dana: that's not fair to the texas taxpayers. you could be spending that money on a lot of other things. thank you, lieutenant governor. >> bill: thank you for your time. a lot of reaction over the weekend. you can imagine it was the talk on the sunday talk shows.

among democrats specifically. here is what they're saying. >> there is no doubt that there is a problem at the border. president biden recognizes it and it is common sociabilities we need to secure the border. >> he needs to hear about how over time the challenges that we have faced as a country on immigration, on border issues, they have grown exponentially. >> they want to continue to use immigrants as political foobls and able to villainize immigrants trying to come here for a better life. >> bill: make up your own mind on the reaction there. read governor abbott's letter to the president. it is not long and listed on our website right now. there is no doubt that illegal immigration in america has gotten worse under this administration by far than it was under president trump. number two, i think it is a shame that gonzalez who represents the district starts in el paso, runs east along the

border for hundreds of miles, wasn't invited to be there over the weekend. that's mal practice. >> dana: he is a reasonable dude if i can call him that. i should respectfully call him a congressman. more on the border. we want to get to this. a mother of three in massachusetts who disappeared without a trace an new year's day and now her husband is behind bars. what police are saying this morning. >> bill: detectives using dna to track down a suspect in the idaho murders. the question is, about the affidavit, what in the affidavit doesn't answer the questions about these murders? we'll check in on that. >> dana: incredible opening play as the buffalo bills return to the field without damar hamlin. >> breaking a tackle and taking a pass. down the sideline he goes. this is story book. opening kickoff return for damar hamlin.

[ sighs ] i can't remember.

>> dana: the husband of a missing massachusetts woman under arrest charged with misleading police in the investigation to her disappearance ana walshe vanished without a trace new year's day. officials searched her home yesterday for clues. the mother of three was supposed to fly from boston to washington but never made it on the plane. her cell phone and credit cards have been inactive. husband and employer both reported her missing wednesday and we'll be monitoring court for more details about her husband's arrest throughout the day. >> bill: american west, students returning to the university of idaho campus for the spring semester for the first time since the murder suspect bryan

kohberger and his arrest. the break in the case comes with mixed reactions. >> i thought the university of idaho was my safe haven. that has been scarred. >> bill: kohberger is behind bars miles from the school as police gather more evidence against him. jonathan hunt picks up the reporting on this monday morning with the latest in moscow, idaho. jonathan. >> good morning, bill. in fact, bryan kohberger sits in the county jail behind me here today. awaiting his next court hearing which will come on thursday. that will be a status hearing as investigators continue meantime to build their case against him and build their mountain of physical evidence. as part of that they were removing more items from the house where the four students were murdered over the weekend, including mattresses that they brought out and remember, some of those victims were killed as

they slept. they also brought out boxes of other evidence loading them onto pickup trucks. now, the house remains an active crime scene. it will remain, we're told, a crime scene for some time and will remain sealed off. meantime there are questions arising from the affidavit about part of the timeline. remember, one of the surviving roommates saw a man in black dressed all in black wearing a mask just after 4:00 a.m. and yet despite the fact that killer had murdered four students in the house, nobody called 911 until almost eight hours later. some experts tell us here at fox, bill, that that is not necessarily unusual. listen here. >> i can tell you from somebody who has faced myself, you know, the worry of being killed, that you do freeze. that is a normal response to

either freeze or flee. she had a normal response to this. the trauma, the stress of seeing this masked man in her home at 4:00 in the morning. >> and once again, bill, bryan kohberger will be back in court on thursday, 24 hours after the spring semester resumes at the university of idaho. >> bill: thank you, jonathan hunt in moscow. >> dana: the idaho suspected allegedly leaving a trail of dna at the scene. let's bring the director from a lab. doctor, great to have you here. a lot of what we had is about the phone, his phone, how it was on or off, where it pinged around the area. but the dna evidence is very important. can you explain how it can inform a case like this? >> that affidavit focused on the positioning of the phone and the car but at the very end they say

and also that dna from the sheath of the night and we were able to match that to a specific person. in this case they got dna from that crime scene and have matched it to dna they collected from bryan kohberger's house. it was from his father. so it got a paternity match to that dna. i imagine that since they've arrested him they have probably gotten a sample from him and matched it to the sample from the crime scene. >> dana: there is a possibility there might have been other dna that he left at the crime scene, is that what you are saying? >> well, i would imagine now they are trying to find other dna. where else was he in that crime scene? of course, the dna shows that he handled that knife. we have touch dna on the knife sheath. the prosecutors will still need to put together a case to say it means that he committed this crime. so they will be looking for all the evidence that they can find. >> dana: can you explain the

difference between that dna, the fingerprint or what it might have been on the actual knife to what is called investigative genetic genealogy? this is a relatively new field or feels new to us as we start to use it now to help solve cases. >> yeah, that dna they got from the sheath of that knife they first would have developed a traditional profile from that. searched it against the database and they did not get a match or they would have been able to arrest him right away. in this case they looked to see what else the dna could tell them. what we've heard reports of is that they used investigative genetic genealogy. the same dna sample generated a proper file and uploaded it to a public match and looked for distant cousins of this person. it wasn't a person in a criminal database but his third cousins may have tested their dna and put their dna in one of those

databases and opted into law enforcement matching and then investigators could tie back to that person that they were trying to identify from those cousins. that's what investigative genealogy does. >> dana: doctor, do you know or do we know yet when you have investigative genetic genealogy does that hold up in court? >> the genealogy was not mentioned in court -- in the affidavit. we have heard reports that it was used. so the genealogy is not what will be used in court. it helps them find the right person to test the dna. in the end when they get the direct match. the very confident this was definitely the dna from that person, that's what goes to court. >> dana: i see. that makes a lot of sense and more to come on this as we continue to get answers from what happened that night and look to the trial to come.

doctor, thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: the mayor of new york city warning people about calling 911 as thousands of nurses threaten to walk off the job. how some major hospitals are getting ready for that strike. what does the house look like under mccarthy rule. congress getting to work after a rollercoaster of a ride for kevin mccarthy and the house speaker. >> it's a dysfunction that was historic that we saw this week. it is not at an end, it's just the beginning. >> we need a little breaking the glass in order to get us to the table. paying off your car loan and paying off your high rate credit card debt? and still have cash left over to put in the bank? with a newday 100 va cash out loan, you could do it all. take out an average of $70,000 - with no upfront fees. no upfront appraisal fees, termite inspection, or water test fee. because a veteran shouldn't have to come up with money to get money.

[shouting] >> bill: this was something. chaos in brazil. sporters of the former president storming congress. he claims the election was

stolen. the crowd smashing windows and destroying desks and computers. police responding with tear gas. it went on for some time. 300 arrests. president biden condemning the violence calling it an assault on democracy. see how it works out in brazil. >> dana: 118 congress can finally get down to business now the house has a speaker. kevin mccarthy won the gavel in an historic 15-ballot vote and kentucky congressman james comer will be here in a moment on that. let's go to aishah hosni live on capitol hill. you have covered all the back and forth and all the drama. hopefully you got rest. how does it look monday morning? >> speaker mccarthy, which we can call him that now, his first big challenge may come tonight in the form of trying to pass this big house rules package. essentially how the house is going to operate for the next two years. we're already seeing a little bit of opposition. the biggest change in the rules package is really just lowering the threshold for a motion to

vacate the speaker to a single member now. most republicans okay with that. mccarthy handed over a number of concessions to appease several hold-outs over the last week. that would impact committee assignments and future spending and that, dana, is what is turning off some members. >> this has a proposed billions of dollar cut to defense, which i think is a horrible idea. >> i support it but what i don't support is a small number of people trying to get a deal done or deals done for themselves in private. so i am on the fence right now. >> even with a slim majority and really no favors from democrats, representative jim jordan told "fox news sunday" shannon bream he thinks republicans can get the votes tonight. >> i think we'll get the 218 votes needed to pass the rules package. the rules package is designed to stop what we saw happen literally 15 days ago, where the

democrats passed a $1$.7 trillion monstrosity of a bill that spent the american taxpayers' money in all kinds of crazy ways. >> pressure on mccarthy but also pressure on gop whip tom emmer, who got some criticism over the events of last week. dana. >> dana: aishah, thanks for your work there. >> bill: james comer, expected to chair the house oversight committee. good morning. the concessions made over negotiations, motion to vacate the chair, debt creeling, spe spending -- vote on term limit requirement. a lot of republican conservative ideas there. what took so long? >> well, that's a great question. the people in kentucky back home this weekend were excited about the changes in the rules. they were the most excited about term limits. this is something that republicans campaigned on every election. but yet we haven't had a term

limits vote in the six years i've been in congress. i'm glad we're going to do that and finally do the things we campaigned on and will serve us well moving forward. >> dana: one of the things that was discussed is the possibility of the motion to vacate the chair. meaning one person can say speaker mccarthy, we think you should have to go. let's call a vote. is that really how it works? >> pretty much is how it works. i've said all along more of a gimmick. i don't believe there will ever be any serious threat to kevin mccarthy's speakership. if kevin mccarthy ever did something so bad that there would be a threat to him vacating the chair, i have think we would meet as a conference and iron it out and, you know, take action accordingly as a conference. but there may be one person abuse that on either side of the aisle but i'm confident kevin mccarthy will be speaker for the next two years.

>> dana: do you agree with the theory expressed a couple of times since the big vote that because the republicans went through that last week, that it will be maybe easier for them to take on tougher votes and tougher challenges in the weeks ahead? >> i really do. i hope it was a learning experience for everyone. i hope it was a learning experience for the 20. i believe that they could have declared victory a couple of days prior to saturday morning. i think we need to learn when to declare victory. it was a good lesson for mccarthy and the leadership team to understand and make sure that they have the votes prior to big major bill coming on the floor and before a deadline. so i think it was a learning experience for the entire conference and hopefully learn from it and do better as a whole moving forward. >> bill: we needed to learn is explain a lot of stuff to the american people. a lot of people just don't follow it. you are trying to make the system better based on how you see it. here is kevin mccarthy. >> it's time for us to be a

check and provide some balance to the president's policies. our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 i.r.s. agents. one of our very first hearings will be held on the southern border. no more ignoring the crisis. >> bill: you run straight into a senate led by democrats and see how many of these ideas are workable. but on the issue of explaining things to the american people, you've walked down the street. how many people can tell you what an omnibus bill is? $1.7 trillion and you were giving 24 hours to read it. you don't want business to go on any more like that in this congress. if you explain that to people maybe they come to understand why it took so long to get last week done. >> that's a great point. i think that if the american people knew what went on in the days before christmas this year

and how $1.7 trillion of their tax dollars were spent without any member of congress fully comprehending the bill, without any debate, without any amendments offered, i think they would be outraged and happy with the changes the republicans made to the rules package. it prevents that in the future. democrats can be outraged by this but this is the way it will be moving forward. the american people will get transparency from the government and expect the biden administration to be transparent and we need to be transparent as well. everyone will be held accountable in this town as far as new republican majority in the house is concerned. >> dana: what will be the topic of your first oversight hearing and when will it be? >> as soon as we get the committee populated our first committee hearing will be on the covid funds. we spent trillions of dollars in the name of covid. there hasn't been a single hearing to oversee those funds. during the entire covid

pandemic. it shows the democrats weren't concerned about wasteful spending. we know there are hundreds of billions of dollars wasted in the unemployment insurance and stimulus funds and ppp loan funds. no one is taking that seriously and no one is held accountable. we'll look into that. >> bill: james comer the republican from kentucky. thanks. >> thank you. >> dana: apparent flip-flop on remote learning from the leader of the largest teachers union drawing ire. what aft president randi weingarten is now saying and some people are crying foul. how are folks in their 40s supposed to dress and look? iconic movie is sparking a heated debate among today's youth. sharp dressed man jimmy failla is here to weigh in.

>> dana: the head of the nation's second largest teacher's union facing backlash. she tweeted yesterday remote education didn't work following her repeated efforts to keep schools closed during the pandemic. here is jimmy failla. let me read to you the tweet, okay? what we've seen in public education is that technology can't replace teachers. remote education didn't work in part because you have to have relationships and build trust. >> bill: she was working so hard to get them back in the classroom. >> why, she is telling you to trust is like telling prince harry to stop gossiping by your family. there was no bigger proponent

for keeping schools closed back in the summer of 2020 when doctors said kids were safer in the classroom. lower transmission rates, learning more, socialization or lack there of denying them their well-being. if you lived in a domestically abusive household it was harder for a teacher to diagnose that. we knew this didn't work. we had academic data by the end of the school year in 2020 that told us kids had lost up to six months to a year of academic gains but anecdotal data. i was lincoln's high school spanish teacher for two months in 2020. he came up to me at the end of two months and asked me what date we celebrate cinco de mayo on. okay, this isn't working, oh cave? i don't need data. people are losing their minds and they should be. she was the one who wanted to keep them closed. it was political. >> bill: in the heat of the

battle, right? july of 2020 call for number two if the authorities don't get it right, she wrote and don't protect the safety and health of those we represent and those we serve nothing is off the table. negotiation, grievances, lawsuits on and on. in the summer of 2020 we're wondering whether or not kids will go back to school. she said you have to change all the air conditioning units for just about every classroom. >> to be clear she wasn't saying it based on data. she was saying it based on political positioning. the republican candidate for the presidency said go back to school. she took a brazenly political position. anyone who doubts that. she campaigned on behalf of every prominent democrat on the ballot. you can trust whatever comes out of her mouth is self-serving and political. >> dana: the next topic, you are too young to have to answer this. here is a picture of dianne

them likes. now that everybody looks cooler, fashion shows the woman is wearing a swan, the guy is in a set of tires. it is harder to stand out now. people dress better, i like it. >> dana: good to see you. have a great week. >> bill: republicans are blasting the president. they call it a pit stop at the border and asking will the new immigration policy make a dent in the crisis. damar hamlin watching the game from cincinnati in his hospital room. >> when he came out, did we win? we needed that. as fans, we needed it. i mean, this guy is a legend. w, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy. from the plains to the coasts,
