say he's undersize, slender build, average arm. so probably be in the middle of the draft. >> wow, so positive of you. >> goodness. >> what about his agent. >> why is it on me all of a sudden. >> well, as the mom of someone who walked on the notre dame football team, did not win two championships and did not get this far, it's incredible, a lot of tenacity. good for him. >> thanks for watching, guys. here is "america reports." >> john: emily, thank you. the justice department launching a review after records were discovered in an office president biden used to 2020. some records were marked classified. >> sandra: his personal attorneys found the white house documents on november 2, 2022. that was right before the midterm elections. but we are just finding out about this now. republicans blasting what they are calling a two-tier system

and drawing comparisons to how the justice department handled a similar situation with former president donald trump. more coming up. [gunfire] >> john: begin "america reports" with chaos setting the scene in mexico as the arrest of a drug lord touches off violence in that country with president biden visiting for a high stakes summit.

hello, john roberts in washington. >> sandra: sandra smith in new york. president biden is set to hold a tri lateral working lunch with mexican president obrador and canadian prime minister trudeau in mexico city where they are meeting right now. we are told the three leaders will discuss ways to deepen and expand economic partnerships and border security cooperation between them. >> john: those talks come amid a crisis spiralling out of control at the southern border, illegal immigration and drug smuggling continue at unprecedented levels. president biden bringing up both topics with his mexican counterpart and asking for help to stem the flow of fentanyl while appearing to botch the number of americans killed by the deadly drug. >> sandra: fox team coverage begins now. katie pavlich will join us in moments. >> john: start with jacqui heinrich, live in mexico city with the latest from the summit. jacqui. >> hey, john. anyone who is hoping for a serious plan to crack down on

the cartels responsible for pushing these migrants and fentanyl into the u.s. might be left disappointed with what we just got from the white house and the key deliverables from the summit. it does not mention the word cartel one single time. buried under 11 other bullet points on supply chains, education, emissions, food waste, decarbonization, electric vehicles and conservation, plans to address irregular migration and drug trafficking. and finalizing and implementing root causes, an app for legal pathways, and public narratives, and on drugs the plan to resume the dialogue to improve cooperation against labor and sexual trafficking and strengthen public health approaches like sharing information on the chemicals that are used in fentanyl. this is a far cry from what biden's critics were asking for. >> i think we need to put military options, cyber options

on the table. >> if the president designates them as a foreign terrorist organization, empowers the united states to take certain actions against them. >> there could be more to come not mentioned on the sheet. the president suggested so in his bilateral meeting, at least. >> we are going to discuss how we can further deepen that relationship, not only in mexico and the western hemisphere, and discuss our shared security, including joint action to address the plague of fentanyl which has killed 100,000 americans so far, and how we can tackle irregular migration, which i think we are well on our way to doing. >> although the president did get the statistic wrong, the number of fentanyl deaths just since 2018 is 247,764. back to you guys. >> john: 108,000 in the last year, taking a big toll on

americans, no question about that. jacqui heinrich for us from mexico city. thank you, sandra. >> sandra: meanwhile a bipartisan group of senators making their own border trip to texas and arizona to assess the situation firsthand. mark meredith is live in el paso on that. mark, he also -- you also have an exclusive behind the scenes look at what agents are dealing with to secure this border. what exactly did you find out in doing that? >> sandra, you are right. we did get a behind the scenes look but also fascinating to hear from people on the ground, whether it's law enforcement, some of the nonprofits out here or everyday citizens that say they want to see change they believe action has to be taken. the latest congressional delegation is bipartisan, and senators admit the status quo is not working. only fox's cameras were there as the senators got an up close look at the border and a chance to speak with the border patrol agents on the front line.

they were able to hear about how human and drug smugglers cross into the u.s., either through checkpoints or unpopulated areas, and heard from kyrsten sinema co-leading the delegation. >> it's so important to also search resources to increase man power with border patrol to give them the technology they need. >> it was interesting, at one point during the tour the senators were stopping halfway through because there was a border patrol agent who had detained two chinese nationals who were trying to cross into the u.s. illegally last night. they were searching the men and lawmakers saw how hard it can be with translation with what they were doing or what was going on. the logistical nightmare can be to process the amount of people coming through all the time. >> people are going to continue to come and we understand why, because people want to come to

the united states but we want them to come in an orderly, safe and humane and legal fashion. >> now, this delegation is not just here in el paso. about eight hours west in arizona seeing the yuma sector. the idea of the trip was to take what they gathered here and go back to washington and then eventually no firm timetable, come up with some sort of comprehensive immigration reform package, not just be border security or policies impacting asylum. the idea to get the best of both worlds, as we have seen for several years, progress is slow but the lawmakers say they realize the task is needed to be completed sooner rather than later. sandra. >> sandra: interesting look there. mark, thank you. john. >> john: bring in town hall.com editor, a tense memorial between biden and amlo, did not seem to be a fan of president and the policies, said the moment to due

away with the abandonment, disdain of south america. >> president trump was able to get a lot out of the mexican government with illegal immigration, he offered punishment if they did not do their job to stop the illegal flow up to the united states to our southern border. now we have the current mexican president demanding more money from taxpayers, american taxpayers if they are going to deal with this problem on a larger scale. when it comes to what the white house has been saying about this visit and the deliver rables at that they say they are going to get, they put out a white house fact sheet this morning, a long list of items. they have commitments on things like climate change and emissions and trade, but in terms of stopping this problem of illegal immigration, completely destroying southern border communities and putting human trafficking into a huge business, billions of dollars per month for the cartels, you

only hear about information sharing and really a lot of government discussion about what they should be doing to stop the problem rather than commitments from the mexican government about what they are going to do. when it comes to the cartels, there was not a lot of talk about corruption in the mexican government and how they are enabling this type of behavior. if you put sanctions or threats on the mexican government to do things to help us they work. president trump did it, and yet that is not something that has even been discussed at this point. >> john: take a look at guzman, the son of the famous drug cartel boss, mexico was going to extradite him and the violence occurred after his arrest they said oh, well, we are going to back off on that whole thing. to immigration, mexico has agreed to take back 30,000 migrants per month who cross illegally, 12.8% of the 233,000 who cross during the month of november. it's a drop in the bucket compared to the people coming up from mexico.

>> it's a drop in the bucket and the president has said we will do this, but the american taxpayer needs to give us billions more dollars in order for us to take these people back. we also heard they are going to give them money to build a new processing center in southern mexico to process the people, help with the asylum claims. you are right, the number of people crossing every single day, that needs to be stopped before it starts and that starts in the white house with the asylum issues they are having, with the policies and the number one thing driving this problem is the catch and release, where if you come in, you get processed and get released and for years on end you wait for a court date that may or may not happen and then you are lost into american society with no consequences going back. >> john: something else quickly with republicans taking over the house and kevin mccarthy flexing his muscle when it comes to committee assignments, he may block adam schiff, eric swalwell and ilhan omar, saying adam schiff lied time and again, and

mccarthy said in november washington has a check and balance, the american people have a say in their government. well in his purview, i remember nancy pelosi to remove marjorie taylor green and paul gosar from committees. >> he believes eric swalwell is a threat to national security and would not be able to get a security clearance in the private sector so does not want to give him a committee assignment. adam schiff for years used and abused his position as the intelligence committee house chairman to go out in public, claim he had intelligence that bolstered his accusations of russian collusion against a former president, which led to years of the country being dragged through an alleged scandal that was not true, so it's a consequence for him abusing his position in the past and he has the authority to do it, something he promised to do.

the house will be better off and the american people will get better information when people are not using their positions on the intelligence committee for political purposes. >> john: see if he does it. thanks for kicking us off, appreciate it. flexing his muscles. see how far he takes it. >> sandra: already, right out of the gate. more coming up on that, john. >> john: yes, we are. >> sandra: we are watching the weather on the west coast, severe storms slamming california with heavy rains there, flash flooding, downed trees, unbelievable situation playing out. we are hearing at least 14 people have died and the situation may be getting even worse. we'll have a live report coming up. >> john: and we'll tell you about atmospheric rivers, plus brand-new reaction from the white house on the classified documents found at the president's former private office. what is the administration saying now? our panel, jessica tarlov and doug coming up next. >> they have been sitting around

for five years? i mean, how long have they been sitting around, who had access all of this time, how many people had access all of this time? the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're providing greater access to investing, with low-cost options to help maximize savings. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive. my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. ray's a1c is down with rybelsus®. i'm down with rybelsus®. my a1c is down with rybelsus®. in a clinical study, once-daily rybelsus® significantly lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill. in the same study, people taking rybelsus®

[indiscriminate talking] >> john: president biden ignoring questions about classified documents found at a think tank he used in the run-up to the 2020 election. date back vice president in the obama administration and contain intelligence memos and information on ukraine, iran and the u.k.

reaction in moments from jessica and doug are standing by, but first peter doocy has got the breaking details from the white house which i guess today, peter, is a bit of a glass house. >> and we have reached out to the counsel's office about the details of the documents with ukraine and iran, and joe biden talked about ukraine and iran a fair amount. to add some context where this think tank is, it's about a mile and a half from the white house, a 10-minute drive over in the capitol hill neighborhood, in a big skyscraper office building or as tall as buildings get in d.c., and look at their youtube channel, not much there. a few brief sets of biden one-on-one discussions about foreign policy biden remarks, that's about it. it's not a place that as president we have known him to go and from what i remember covering him on the campaign trail it's not a place i

remember him hosting an event at or spending much time at. we don't know who exactly had access over the last few years to this facility. something else we have a little bit more clarity on this afternoon is why this is coming out now, i say we don't have more clarify but at least a response. the documents were located by a presidential personal attorney on november 2nd, before the midterms. so when we asked the counsel office why this is timed to come out right now, we did get a response, i'll read it to you, we just got it. it says this is an ongoing process under review by doj, so we are going to be limited in what we can say at this time but we are committed to doing this the right way and we will provide further details when and as appropriate. that is coming from the white house counsel's office. it looks like our colleagues down in mexico city are doing their best to try to get presidential reaction. we don't know if we are going to get that today or if it will

have to wait, john. >> john: and you are right about the skyscraper, maximum building in most places here is 130, some places 160 feet, not exactly scraping the sky. see you in a bit. sandra. >> sandra: thank you very much, and thanks to peter at the white house. bring in our panel now, jessica tarlov is co-host of "the five," and doug collins, host of the podcast. happy new year to you. continue on what you just heard from peter doocy, waiting for reaction on president biden, but the white house counsel, the office of the counsel spokesperson says tail end of that statement, when and as appropriate. isn't it high time that we hear from the president and his team directly on this? >> well, you would expect it to. this has been the issue that's come up. they have held the standard of the trump documents and we can get into that, but another issue where you have something that's been found, here is my key. interesting to me, november 2nd

when this was found. we heard nothing, we heard nothing. >> sandra: before the election. >> before the election, before the election and the only question is this, was it kept after the election, did the fbi get notified, doj notified, when is the timeline here. >> sandra: what do you think are the answers to the questions? >> i think they probably did. if they -- if they are saying it was november 2nd they found this, who did they tell, come up with? and if they told the white house and the white house did report it to the doj, these are all questions that need to be answered and right now the quicker they get it out there, the quicker to get ahead of the story, in light of the other issues out there, doubtful. >> sandra: it's a big statement. jessica, probably good time to tee up this sound of president biden september 18th, last year, slamming former president trump's handling of classified documents. listen. >> when you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out on the floor at mar-a-lago, what did you think to yourself

looking at that image? >> how that could possibly happen. how anyone could be that irresponsible. >> sandra: is it fair to say the same thing about him? >> i don't think it's fair. i think it was wrong and i think the president should just own that, that the standard is that you should not have important documents, things that you would be looking at in a skiff, for instance, outside of those places. this is actually an easy win for the biden administration because you can draw a very clear line. >> sandra: a win. >> don't do it in the first place but if you are trying to compare what he did versus what trump did -- biden had 12, some secret, and trump had 160, and some top secret and refused to comply with the subpoenas. the send the biden administration realized they had that, the lawyers got in touch with the national records

office. >> my understanding they contacted the national records office immediately, discovered on november 2nd -- >> sandra: the american public was not privy to that information. >> that's not how this works. trump administration or the former trump administration was given the chance for months to have it not be made public. >> they have had a massive raid that led up to this. and now it's our doj, we are trying to play nice now, we are going to give everything -- again, questions that need to be asked. supposedly a win for the biden administration, come out and work it this way. my problem with all of this, we treat this on this level differently than we do, say, our military level and our others, bothersome to me, someone still in the military. it does not matter. you can have classified or

nonclassified and get in trouble. >> sandra: jamie dimon walking back his comments about the hurricane economic environment that was coming in this new year. listen. >> the consumer is still strong, balance sheet is in good shape, spending 10% more than precovid, more in the checking account, driving the strong economy. i should not have used the word hurricane. >> sandra: he's a highly respected ceo, j.p. morgan chase, made some comments that had big implications for the market and seems to be walking that back a bit. >> seems like a win, someone who knows what's going on, has millions of customers, can see what they are doing, how they are behaving. he's been fantastic at his job for a very long time now, one of the best testimonies on capitol hill in the financial sector. >> and also looking out for his own business, but is it for the

personal main street going to help from this, if they are, great. glad to see it moving forward. he's playing his own corporate game, and he is looking out at the economy. we don't want to see it bad, have to play both games. >> sandra: he's got a look at the institutional markets, retail markets because of the retail arm of that company, and we just all hope we can have an economic turn around in the new year, that would be -- that would be fantastic. we hope the forecasts are right. >> i think some of the ceos forget how much impact they have on markets. >> and every word. a hurricane, very explicit. >> sandra: and big decisions coming up by the federal reserve. thanks to both of you. >> thank you. >> john. >> john: speaking of hurricanes, severe wet weather ravaging california, heavy rains turning rivers into dangerous flood

zones, forcing the evacuation of thousands in towns where deadly mudslides are an all too real danger. a lot of wind as well. robert ray is live at capitola beach, california, south of san jose, some businesses have been destroyed by the weather. robert, what are you seeing there? >> yeah, john, good afternoon to you. look at the pacific ocean and the debris field that is moving in. these big trees pushed in, they all slid down the mountains and the hills over the course of the past 4 or 5 days from this heavy rain and winds. look at the beach, strewn with giant trees and now that we have had a break in the rain and people are out trying to look at this. but john, to your point about the businesses, if you guys could, come follow me through this. this is a famous restaurant here at capitola beach, this place is destroyed like so many others. lance, our photographer will

give you the view. inside this structure when you are seeing here, these walls, this is where literally the pacific ocean was banging up against these walls, pushing and putting the pressure on this famous restaurant here. they are lucky the windows did not break in. as you can see, many of the workers are here trying to clean up. a huge piece of pylon here that has been pushed in by the pacific ocean. you can see here and the pacific ocean was below all of this here, john, as this is on a pier and it was pushing up parts of this structure here and the flooring. very dangerous. they are going to rebuild, we are told. this restaurant will hopefully be back by spring break, they are counting on it, the economy is counting on it. this is a tourist town and john you see out here loading up the chairs and the tables from the restaurants, and many businesses in the same boat. it's just a mess, unfortunately.

they are doing their best. we have a break and a lull in the rain, another round coming tomorrow and another one later this week, and yet again into next week. but south of us in santa barbara and montecido, over 12 inches of rain in the hills, they are suffering deeply. as long as the weather cooperates here south of santa cruz they are making it move, they are going to do their best. you see, john, it's an uphill battle. and the workers out here raking up the debris, trying to get the restaurants and businesses back in business. john. >> john: tough scenes there. more like we see in florida than in california. robert ray, thank you. and a little later on, talking with the scripps institution of oceanography what's causing this and how long it's expected to last. you can download the app for free at foxweather.com and scan

the qr code on the screen and coming up, we will ask marty what is causing this. rivers in the sky is really what's to blame here, sandra. >> sandra: really looks like the situation could be gets worse, at least 14 dead, absolutely awful the situation there and the flooding continues to get worse in so many of those areas. for those of us who keep track obviously on the fox weather app, and social media flooded with pictures right now of the devastation there, john. >> john: quite a scene there. >> sandra: investigators searching for a missing mother of three, switching efforts to a trash transfer station. her husband spent hundreds of dollars on cleaning supplies a day after she vanished. molly line is live in massachusetts on the story. what are you hearing now? >> well, the search for this massachusetts mom ana walshe has taken a grim turn.

investigators are digging through trash on the north shore of the state where prosecutors confirm a number of items have been collected. they are processed and tested. wbz, local tv station, blood, a hatchet, hacksaw, rug and cleaning supplies were found. the garbage hub is not far from where her mother-in-law was founded, in which a dumpster was towed. brian walshe claims on the day she disappeared, january 1st, he traveled to the sea side community to visit his mom, and cvs and whole foods. there is no proof he went to either store but he was caught on camera the next day at the home depot, paying hundreds in cash for cleaning trips. despite on house arrest for a fraud conviction selling fake art and a search of the cohasset

home, they found blood and a damaged bloody knife in the basement. the district attorney's office reports there are no anticipated charges, as far as brian walshe is facing at least at this point in time. >> sandra: we will continue to follow closely, search efforts, john. >> john: a new report finding airborne chemicals that destroy ozone are now declining for the first time, helping to repair the atmospheric layer that protects the planet layer from ultraviolet rays. it hurts trillions, hurts the poor and the ozone hole is beginning to repair itself because of reduction in hydro

flourocarbons. >> we should be really thankful. it shows us we can actually solve environmental problems and we solve them when they have easy replacements. so, what happened back when we originally agreed to the protocol and follow-ups, we switched out the cfc gasses for less damaging gasses but crucially we already had them in place. that was why reagan and many others signed up to do this. and the point here is what it tells us about climate change is we are going to solve climate change in the same way once we have the replacement, that is we have cheap, available and reliable energy. then we will solve it. we are not there yet, but we should be researching to find that solution. >> john: we should point out the report said it would take another 17, 18 years or the ozone hole to fully repair itself. and if you look at the latest animations from 2022, over

antarctica, still a substantial hole, though less than before. what are the risks of pushing policy ahead of technology? >> oh, there's a huge risk and the most obvious one is that most countries won't abide. so, obviously you can get some well-meaning american states, you can get the e.u., you can get a few other nations, as long as china and russia and india and many others, understandable reasons. a lot of these countries want to lift their population out of poverty, as long as they don't play game we are not succeeding. all we are doing is outsourcing our emissions and we are paying and they are gaining. the way to solve global warming is to innovate. if you could get clean green energy to be cheaper than fossil fuels, everyone would switch. >> john: the marketplace can determine it. speaking of policies, consumer

products safety commission has been looking into banning gas stoves, full disclosure, i have one in my house. apparently they have dialed back the policy a little bit, not after existing ones, but only ones that may be manufactured in the future. the reason is respiratory issues from emissions and the overall use of fossil fuels. what do you think of the idea of banning gas stoves? >> it's slightly bizarre. look, there is some respiratory issues and i think it's fine that people are pointing out. you should be careful. have carbon monoxide, it is funny they want to ban gas stoves but not thought about the other two things that pollute lots, lots more, which is wood stoves, and candles. i mean, if you actually care about making sure that people are well aware of what

contributes to air pollution, candles and wood stoves are by far much bigger. so again, yes it's good that we have people looking after our health, but we should be sure that they are doing it for the health reasons, not because they actually want to sort of do climate policy through a back door. >> john: 35% of american homes have gas stoves, a lot of restaurants do as well, a lot of restaurants have switched to induction stoves, my co-anchor, sandra smith will say is a fabulous way to cook. if you are looking at respiratory issues, a gas stove should have a range hood or vent blower system installed along with it. i'm not sure what they are after. >> look, if you are doing it incorrectly, if it's not serviced well, there might be problems, and so again, it's good that we have agencies making sure that we are healthy,

but i'm pointing out, let's make sure it's not just a different policy, namely you want to get rid of fossil fuels because you want to move people on electricity and say it should all be renewable. in the long-term, that could be one of the solutions but it has to be cheap and you cannot tell people, just bought a gas stove, but it's expensive to change over and again, remember, this is about solving a problem about air pollution, that's what they are saying. and you know, you should be aware that wood stove or, you know, just burning candles much more polluting. and i have not seen them put any warnings on that. >> john: now that you mention it, i'm waiting for the candle lobby to come out in favor of not banning candles. bjorn, great to see you. thanks for joining us. gas or induction heat? >> sandra: he's amazing,

induction cook top, magnetic transfer and it cooks -- transfers the heat directly to the cooking vessel itself. so it's a lot faster, people will point that out and a lot of top chefs are now using this, consistent heat and to clean it, it's just glass. spray it with windex and it's good. >> john: i sometimes use my gas stove to light my candles. >> sandra: don't try this at home. >> john: there you go. >> sandra: meanwhile, unrest in brazil as police detain hundreds of supporters of the former president following widespread protests and riots that targeted congress, the supreme court and other government buildings there. plus this. >> i voted for joe biden and i'm pleading with him to come down here and illustrate that he cares for the people of south texas. this is a crisis, and we need attention from washington. the democrats are going to make

a republican out of me. >> john: the president of the hispanic business council in texas tearing into president biden for what he and others are calling a sanitized visit to el paso. so, what is he saying now? xavier palmares has some strong feelings about it. he joins us coming up next. veteran homeowners, if you want to lower your monthly payments and put cash in the bank, use your va benefit at newday usa. you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value and take out an average of $70,000.

>> john: who let the dawgs out, they did it again. georgia bulldogs crushing, shredding, chewing to bits tcu in the victory last night. a new record for most points ever scored in a national college championship. i saw the new year's eve game and it was really close. not so much this one. >> sandra: i'm sure the tcu fans appreciate the description there. >> john: it's true. >> sandra: you might have noticed doug collins, the former georgia congressman was wearing his red tie on set, happy about all this. >> john: a lot to be proud in the peach state today. >> sandra: congrats. >> slap on the face. we are in the midst of a crisis. we see it every day. biden was not coming to see the reality of the border.

he was coming to see a sanitized, a clean el paso. what was the price they promised them to be able to clean this up and make biden look good? >> sandra: in el paso, texas, that was in el paso, texas, resident furious at president biden after his tour of the border town on sunday. locals saying the president did not see the full extent of the crisis there, many migrant camps were torn down before he arrived. and joining us now is president and ceo of the united states hispanic business council. thank you very much for coming back on the program. our viewers really appreciated the last time you joined us. you are incredibly passionate about what is happening there, you placed a lot of urgency on that, sir. what did you make of the president's visit, first of all. is this going to help anything? >> you know, i have to say that i've been critical of this administration's handling of that crisis and after months of

myself and others calling for the president to come down to the border and visit the americans who are suffering through this crisis he finally came, so credit where credit is due, but honestly, a three-hour scripted sanitized visit, that's not a solution. that's a photo op. and we are calling for a lot more than this, you know. he -- he -- i understand that joe biden did not create this problem, it's not his fault. but it is his responsibility. >> sandra: really interesting. this is the white house description of the president's new border policies imposing new consequences for individuals who attempt to enter unlawfully, expanding legal pathways for safe, orderly and human migration. they also say the surge -- securing surge resources, disrupt criminal smuggling networks and supporting border communities. will any of this help?

>> you know, i think it may help. policy is one thing, enforcement is another. you know, this notion of sending 30,000 migrants back to mexico is a drop in the bucket. it will help and right now we'll take any help we can get. but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the 1.5 million who are already here awaiting processing. in addition to that, we have 600,000 people claiming asylum. that process alone is estimated to take up to four years to clean up. what are we going to do with these people in the meantime? and at the same time that this is happening, our farmers are suffering. last year we lost 10 million tons of crops that went unharvested because we couldn't get people to harvest those crops for us. so we need the president's attention. we need some thoughtful

resolution to this, something that is sustainable, that will help the american people and the american economy. >> sandra: this is senator james langeford on what he says the president did not do with this border visit. >> he didn't meet with the border patrol union or the land owners of the area, did not meet with migrants. this was a staged event he brought in on sunday to say look, i went, but he's not going to try to say what needs to be fixed. >> sandra: echoing the comments we heard from you just now. you've reached out to the white house. are you in communication with the president and his team at all about these issues? >> we are to some extent. but the reality of it is, you know, they want to listen to the people they want to listen to. and listen, i get it. joe biden has the toughest job in the world. but let's not forget. he asked for this job. we gave him the job and now it's time for him to do the job. this is a difficult very, you know, it's going to take some thought, it's going to take some

leadership, he's going to have to reach across the aisle. not a single republican was invited to that visit. where were our two senators in texas, where were the texas republican members of congress. we need a leader that understands the issue, that's talking to the americans on the border, the farmers, the doctors, the nurses, the police officers, the teachers, the americans that are suffering through this crisis. they will best inform his strategy for how to move forward, not his insulated ivy league-educated circle of six. he needs to get beyond that and talk to real americans how we move forward here. >> sandra: javier, i only have a couple seconds left, and people are listening, and by the way, the last time you joined us we didn't ask but you voted for president biden and you put him in office and also said at the end of the last interview we had with you that democrats are going to make a republican out

of you over this border crisis. has there been any change there? do you -- >> sadly there has not. i'm waiting for joe biden to step out of the inner circle, to step out of the beltway and deal with the american people, hear from us, hear from republicans that are on the border that are suffering through this. it can be done, this is his moment. he can illustrate he's the leader he promised he was going to be. >> sandra: hopefully he reaches out to you, you are welcome back any time. >> god bless for having us. >> john: i love his independence. child obesity rates were up before the pandemic closed schools and now they are saying it could be higher. is giving children diet drugs or lap band surgery the answer?

dr. saphier has new recommendations. >> sandra: and after two months of the grisly students' murders, a piece of evidence is still missing. do they have to build the case. >> events that happened, i don't know if it will feel like the same. >> i breathed a sigh of relief, pretty sure my mom did the same thing. i had periodontal disease, and i just didn't feel well. but then i found clearchoice. [ forde ] replacing marcia's teeth with dental implants at clearchoice was going to afford her that permanent solution. [ marcia ] clearchoice dental implants gave me the ability to take on the world. i feel so much better, and i think that that is the key.

>> john: investigators are continuing to build their case against bryan kohberger ahead of a status hearing on thursday. the 28-year-old accused of stabbing four university of idaho students to death. a lawyer says kohberger had no previous connection to the students. dan springer is live in moscow, idaho. a lot of questions still unanswered. >> john, i just got off the phone of shannon gray, the lawyer for the goncalves family and nobody knew this guy, bryan kohberger now officially charged with murdering the four university of idaho students and said the victims never told anyone they thought they were being watched. so, motive is still very much a mystery, and something investigators are still trying to piece together. we are also getting our first look at the latah county jail roster, includes his booking

photo and court case information. police said in the affidavit that came out last week that kohberger's phone was in the proximity of that rental house where the murders took place 12 times since mid august. all but one of those times it was late at night or early in the morning hours. kohberger will not be taking his ph.d. classes at washington state university this term, started yesterday. he also is a criminology teaching assistant, and students at this campus were stunned to learn about kohberger's connection and arrest. >> it's kinds of nerve wracking being my first year here and knowing that information is like close to where i live, so it's kind of startling but the same time i know i'm safe with the security here. >> and john, the classes will start here at the university of idaho on wednesday for the spring term and we are told security will be wrapped up here as well as what we saw at

washington state university and we also know that kohberger will be in court on thursday with the status hearing, so we'll hear what happens there. we don't know if he's going to be making official pleas or what, but we know he'll be in court on thursday, john. >> john: at least there is a suspect in custody, that has to give some comfort to students returning. dan springer, thank you. >> sandra: family fighting to free their service member son from prison. they say ridge elkonis was driving wrecklessly when he killed two people in a crash. his loved ones say it was a medical issue that caused him to go out of control. know so many of you have served our country honorably. one of the benefits that we as a country give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100% of your home's value.
