>> and giselle loved his daughter. >> definitely a lot in the future. we will bring you all of this developing news. this really important breaking -- exactly. we are so grateful every day. thank you for watching. don't forget to dvr when you can't watch live and now here is "america reports." >> sandra: thank you, emily. fox news alert, congressman andy biggs set to introduce articles of impeachment against alejandro mayorkas as the gop house judiciary committee holds its first hearing into the biden administration handling of the border crisis. >> john: the hearing comes as border officials raise the alarm over the growing amounts of drugs seized at the border and the terror suspects being detained. will this push president biden to start getting serious about securing the border. congressman darryl issa and katie pavlich are here to weigh

in coming up. >> sandra: we anticipate all of that. first this fox news alert. fbi agents have just completed moments ago their search of president biden's vacation home as the doj investigation into the handling of classified documents widens. sandra smith in new york. hello, john. >> john: hello, sandra. halfway through the week. the search at biden's rehobeth beach home marks the first time fbi has looked at private locations tied to the president. >> sandra: david spunt has the breaking details. this search just wrapped, david. so, were any classified documents found at the president's beach house? >> sandra, john, no classified documents found. this is according to the president's personal attorney, bob bauer. the search began this morning at 8:30 in the morning at the rehobeth beach home, wrapped up at noon. three and a half hours, quite

the contrast from what we saw just a few weeks ago when we learned on a friday the fbi spent almost 13 hours inside the president's wilmington, delaware home and did find more classified documents. president biden purchased this home back in 2017 when he was a former vice president at the start of summer, but right now doj not picking up any classified documents there at that home. i want to read the statement from bob bauer, a little long but i think it's important. doj plan search of the president's rehobeth residence concluded incoordination and cooperation with the president's attorneys, 8:30 a.m. to noon, no documents with classified markers were found, consistent with the process in wilmington, took for further review materials and handwritten notes that appear to his time as vice president. now today here at the justice department where i am, robert

hur, he was appointed by merrick garland, his staff is officially on board, he will receive a complete briefing about what was discovered in rehobeth beach as soon as that search is done, even though nothing was classified. sandra, john, we reported yesterday the fbi searched the penn biden center in mid november. the key there, in mid november. the reason we found out about it two months late, seems to be the case with the story and many ways the slow drip of information. two more quick things at the white house, ron klain, chief of staff last day on the job. jeff zion is taking over to deal with this crisis coming in. also merrick garland, the attorney general is at an unrelated event at the white house, he will be feet away from president biden the same day agents searched the president's vacation home in rehobeth.

quite a juxtaposition there. >> sandra: another turn in all of this. david spunt at the doj, thank you. >> under president biden, there is no border. and americans are paying the price. >> the republic majority seems only interested in show boating. they continue to talk about the so-called biden border crisis even this administration has kept in place policies from the trump administration. >> secretary of homeland security said the border is closed, secure in march of 2021. was that true then? >> no. >> is it true now? >> no. >> john: fiery moments from the house judiciary hearing on the border crisis as republican lawmakers slam the biden administration for the handling of the situation. the hearing comes as the number of the individuals from the fbi terror watch list continues to rise with at least 38 arrested since the beginning of october.

complete coverage now house judiciary committee member darryl issa moments away. first to aishah hasnie live on capitol hill. republicans are making the border number one today. >> good afternoon to you. that's right. this is the first of two separate hearings on the border within just a one-week span that we are expecting to happen here so if that tells you how much of a priority this is for house republicans, and democrats not very happy with this particular hearing, first and foremost because of how it's titled. it's called biden's border crisis. they do not like that. today's witnesses primarily focused on the fentanyl crisis, including the father of a teenage boy who died of a fentanyl overdose. but in between the very emotional testimony, john, we have been watching plenty of shots being taken between republicans and democrats. >> this is the nightmare that the democrats have unleashed upon the country and the laws we write in the house i'm afraid

are not going to survive the democratic senate or get joe biden's signature, it's going to worsen. >> many republicans in congress seem intent on demonizing asylum families. >> as i mentioned the first hearing on the border. next tuesday, house oversight chairman james comer will hold a separate hearing, this time he will have border agents here on the hill to testify. and also, john, as you mentioned, we are expecting congressman andy biggs any moment to introduce articles of impeachment against as -- alejandro mayorkas. no word as of when the conference might move forward with a vote on this. john. >> john: we know you'll keep watching it for us.

aishah, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: darryl issa joining us now, a member of the house judiciary committee. he just stepped away for us. congressman, appreciate your time here at the top of the hour, can you give us an update what you have heard in that room so far, specifically going back to some fiery moments we played for our viewers. why do you fathom jerry nadler, one of the democrats on the committee, would reference this as the so-called border crisis. what about this is not a crisis? >> well, what we heard today was the contrast between the trump era, which had some illegal immigration but it was contained, and the immediate change that happened under this administration. ranking member nadler does not like hearing that but that's why it's the biden crisis. and we heard from a sheriff who represents one of the largest stretches of the u.s.-mexico

border, 44% of his jail occupants are undocumented criminals. it's taken him away from doing the regular police work he would do. and the impact it's having to his community. so yes, there were testimony on both sides, i would say on the republican side the facts and the numbers speak for themselves. >> sandra: speaking of which, we can put up the latest on the screen, this is the border crisis by the numbers here. these are the tallies dating back to february 2021. so, over a short period of time you've seen the border encounters top 4.5 million, congressman, 1400 migrant deaths, obviously just -- obviously paints the picture of just how dangerous this journey is, so many are not discouraged to make with the open borders, and the number -- the level of drugs seized topping 620,000 pounds to your point about the parents speaking up to the drug crisis that is a result of this.

here is andy biggs, this was biggs, your republican colleague last night on the border and why he's pushing to now impeach mayorkas. listen to this on tucker. >> he's literally attacked the essence of this country by attacking the geographical integrity and he's changing so much, he's put so many people in danger, we have terrorists here that would never have been here, criminal gang members and well over a million people here -- we have no idea anything about their background, where they went, because they just got away into the country because of his policies. >> sandra: so where do you stand on the calls for mayorkas to step down? do you back that? >> well, i think it's important that we consider that if the president is telling the truth, that he thinks the border is sealed, he thinks things are reasonably good, somewhere between him and the secretary is between him, somebody is not telling the truth. so, candidly, he is the -- the secretary is the logical one to

bring before congress, whether it's impeachment or simply getting him to face the truth. the truth is those numbers showed the policies are not working, reversal of the policies are not working, essentially he has to do a lot to contain it where all he had to do two years ago was maintain it. and that's a big -- a big pull and i don't think he's capable of it so he probably should step down. the question is, would we get a replacement that would actually enforce the laws and make efforts to make our streets safe again, and just if i can digress, the 5 million or so people that are here needing public assistance because they have been allowed into the country, what are we going to do if another 5 million and another 5 million come. there has to be a limit and right now there is no limit in sight. >> sandra: when you look at the trend lines, we are on track to see that happen unless something changes or the administration wakes up. finally play this out. locals on the border dangers and

the threats from the cartels, congressman. >> these people come across, they are still indebted to the cartel, not everybody is able to pay for it and they come as indentured servants and live below the system. >> the border is 100% not secure, and a lot of people don't like the united states for whatever reason. >> sandra: knowing so many more, a growing number of your colleagues on the left that are speaking up and out about this, do you think this white house will wake up? >> well, i hope they will. i think as they see crime rise around the country, they see groups like ms13 be able to move their people into the country to commit crimes, they are going to realize that legal immigration is a process of weeding out the very people that are getting in because the borders are open. >> sandra: it is really something and we continue to bring our viewers the latest from the border, these pictures, video, drone footage every single day because those borders

are open and migrants continue to pour over. thanks for the update, thanks for stepping up. john, we'll continue to monitor the hearings on the hill. obviously there's been a lot of, you know, fiery moments that have happened and rightly so where there needs to be a big challenge to what we are going to do to stem this because we see the fentanyl crisis, that continues to explode in this country, the cartels and the violence, it is -- it is a true crisis. >> john: pretty telling when the cbp official was asked about mayorkas' statement the border was secured, closed, and he said neither of those things was true. that's pretty obvious when you look at the situation there. the northeast, are you ready for this, sandra, bracing for bone chilling temperatures as part of a polar vortex moving in this weekend. it comes as an arctic blast creates chaos in the south. who is going to get the worst of this? plus this.

>> john: legendary quarterback tom brady is retiring. again. seven-time super bowl champ, after 28 seasons -- 23 seasons, sorry -- vision is getting bad, in the nfl, the decision comes exactly one year after brady briefly retired in 2022 before returning to the tampa bay buccaneers. he thanked everyone from his family and friends to his rivals in the brief video he posted on twitter. watch here. >> really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me. my family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors, i could go on forever. there's too many. thank you guys for allowing me to live my absolute dream. i would not change a thing. >> jim gray is sports castro friend of tom brady's and fox

news contributor. not too long ago brady playfully bit your head off when you asked him on your podcast about his possible plans for the future. replay that here. >> jim, if i knew what i was going to [bleep] do i would have already [bleep] done it. taking a day at a time. appreciate you asking, thank you. >> you remarked he seemed a little sensitive about the topic but not too long after that announcing he's going, again. is it real this time? >> yes, it's real this time. it's just time after 23 seasons, and if you take into account that he has played 48 playoff games, he really just completed his 26th season, throw in michigan four years, played 30 years of football. and whatever it took for high school, he's been playing football so long, he's 45 years old and it's just time. certainly his body could continue, physically, he's great. his training methods, the tb12 method, he has rewritten the book of what longevity is.

he physically could play but his heart and his mind obviously are in a different place, and it's time after all of those games and all of these seasons to walk away, having achieved every goal everybody who have possibly dreamed, it has exceeded that. seven super bowl championships, played in ten superbowls, and leads with every statistical category as his record. >> john: you know, jim, he has plenty of time to change his mind if the right offer came along. brett favre, the first time he retired, he was definitive about it. the second time he retire he was more definitive and yet played again. could brady say my entire lifestyle is geared towards being at the top of my game to play in the nfl longer than anybody has in the past and you know what, i've been sitting on the beach two weeks, why do i

want to do that, let me back in the game. >> that has happened to others, muhammad ali retired and came back and kept winning titles. at least for my knowledge, this is it, it's over. the book is now closed on this. there is really nothing left to achieve and his greatness is in his future. he will gone on and he can teach everybody, always the players in the national football league about leadership, winning, perseverance. who leaves not only being loved by teammates but respected by competitors. he'll do great in business, he has a television contract with fox, doors are wide open for him whatever he pursues. football is in the rearview mirror, i believe it this time. >> john: a big but in all of this. the last season was not the way he envisioned it to be. the divorce with giselle, under

500 season, not the way he wanted to go out. >> well, that's correct. he wanted to go out, you know, i'm sure much better. but still competing to the end, even when they were down against dallas, he was pointing at guys and throwing touchdown passes with four minutes left. this was a very difficult season, both personally and professionally, and it took its toll. quarterback coach reported a couple of weeks ago you could see it in his face and you could see it in his appearance, he lost significant weight, so it's hard. football is hard, and he has so many younger guys -- he's playing with guys more than half his age. they are closer to his son's age. he is actually playing with players whose fathers he played with in the national football league. and so when you get to be 45 years old and looking at 46, and you see what your competition is, and these guys, you don't play football. football is a serious business, just like you don't play boxing.

when you get hit, it's harder to get up, and harder and harder particularly somebody who is 45 but whose legs as i explained, he had three seasons of postseason, his legs are that of a 48-year-old. think about that for a second, john. it's just too hard and too much at this time and there's nothing left to do, what else to prove. he's proven it all and the records will not be broken. >> john: i know it's a whole different ballgame, i work with guy benson who went to middle school with my older son, so i know what brady is dealing with, i think he's still got a lot of fight left in him. we'll see. jim, thanks for joining us. >> thanks, john. good to be with you. >> sandra: of course he has a lot of fight left in him but he can do other things. >> john: i know all the ladies in new york are vying for the office next to tom when he joins

fox sports, but i think he's got -- i think he's got another season in him. >> sandra: interesting. if you had one question, if he was in front of you right now, i guess that would be -- >> john: why, why quit? >> sandra: if you had it to do over again, would you do it over again, would you do it. i think he said he does in the regret anything. was it worth it? i have somebody in my ear -- some big football fans in the control room. >> john: here is the thing. i don't think the thing with him and giselle fell apart because of football. i would assume there were other things going on, i think he has another season left in him. come on tom, come on back. >> sandra: i love this -- we'll have to continue this conversation. giselle, i don't know, if he could do it over again, would giselle still be there, that is the question. and breaking news, president

biden set to meet face-to-face with house speaker kevin mccarthy in a big moment as they negotiate over raising the debt ceiling. does mccarthy have any leverage over the president to receive republicans' desired spending cuts. we'll ask steve forbes, he is here. >> john: plus, prosecutors in the alec murdaugh trial revealing cell phone evidence to the jury they claim shows the disgraced south carolina attorney was in proximity to his wife and son when they were murdered. we will bring you the late efrt from the south carolina courtroom coming up. >> sandra: and the start of black history mark, america honors the contributions african americans have made to our country and recognize their sacrifice in doing so. >> john: all this month, fox news will pay tribute to some of those who have left an incredible legacy. the life of bessie coleman, the first african american female pilot.

>> will you negotiate with mccarthy? >> show me the budget. >> i think we could find common ground, we could find a lot of savings in the spending of government that saves the hard working taxpayers their money. >> sandra: all right, so right now that is the outlook from house speaker mccarthy ahead of the face-to-face meeting with president biden at the white house. it's happening in just over an hour. set to discuss the possibility of raising the debt ceiling over the next few months. steve forbes, chairman, editor and chief of forbes media. steve, i love when you can join

us, especially on days like this. we know the face-to-face is about to happen and to go back to president biden's words ahead of the meeting, he said show me your budget and i'll show you mine. what is that message to mccarthy tell you about what is going to happen in this meeting? >> well, i think they are going to go through a dance, tried to set themselves up with the base and say we are not going to do this, or that, or this, and demand this and that, and go to the wire. key thing is, there is a budget coming up, a federal budget coming up on march 9, usually dead on arrival on capitol hill, and what biden is trying to do in the case of mccarthy, to put the pressure on him, all right, you want to cut the budget. what specifically you are proposing to cut? are you going to go after medicare, are you going to go after medicaid, are you going to go after social media, what about the interest on the national debt, you have to pay that. are you going to cut military spending, and so put -- whether

you put specifics down, you start to get opposition. if mccarthy goes beyond the crazy things they have in the budget, all the crazy little things they put in, which don't add up to a lot, but ring through with the public, he's going to have a problem. they don't yet have their own budget. that's the key thing. and mccarthy has to be ready because this is going to be a public battle. biden thinks just because the republicans have lost, battles in the past and closing the government like they did in the mid 90s and again in 2012, 2013, he can just stonewall them in effect and say let go there, and public opinion will force you to capitulate. >> sandra: everybody watches this, and wonder what it means for them and their family on the bottom line. 64% of the country is now living paycheck to paycheck.

>> this is the thing, unlike the past shutdowns, people are in a position today they were not in in 2012 and 2013, the economic crisis is hard, more inflation than back then, and they are equating government spending eventually leads to money printing which leads to higher prices. i don't think the democrats are in quite the strong position they think they are in but the republicans have to not shoot themselves in the foot, and i'm afraid biden will ask mccarthy are you going to go for a national sales tax, turn the tables on the republicans. >> sandra: quick with the minute we have left, put the big board up, the dow is off about 300 points, we are awaiting the big fed decision whether or not jay powell will slow the rate hiking, he's been hiking rates to try to cool inflation, and the whole idea to not hike rates so far that you drive the country into a dean recession. so what do you think is going to

happen here, why are markets sort of backing off and anticipating maybe some bad news from the fed. what do you think? >> a few days ago everyone was celebrating. fed maybe taper off on rate increases. they will still raise rates artificially, it will put pressure on the economy. people are already being squeezed. credit card debt is going up, retail sales are under pressure. the economy is weaker than the biden administration acknowledges and the fed is wrong thinking the way to fight inflation is -- but they need to have a strong dollar. they hope they don't hurt the economy too much. bogus stuff from the 70s and repeating it again today, they never learn. >> sandra: the massive rate hikes, you see the chart there, to bring down the high prices

and a huge, there's a lot of pressure on the federal reserve to get this right. so it's a big decision, we'll be watching it. markets down in anticipation of it. nobody does it like you, steve. >> thank you, sandra. appreciate it. >> sandra: and also grover norquist will be coming up on that. affects a lot of people, car payments, credit card debt, your credit card payments, mortgage loans, student loans, big decision that will affect everybody's pocket book. >> john: it always does. any time the interest rates go up, the wallet gets a little weaker. >> sandra: we are paying for inflation, the inflation that did not have to happen inca incapacity -- in the capacity it did. >> john: forensic digital expert taking the stand the second day, prosecution witness telling the

courtroom what he found in data taken from murdaugh's phone and could raise questions about the defendant's timeline for the night his wife and son were killed. jonathan is live, he has the latest on today's court proceedings. what are the discrepancies they are talking about here. >> john, you may remember alec murdaugh told authorities he will not seen his wife maggie for nearly an hour before he went to check on his mom the night of the murders, but the prosecution is challenging the timeline with a video that murdaugh's son paul shot on his iphone just minutes before he and his mother were shot. murdaugh wept in court as the video played out, it shows a dog in the family kennel, but you hear human voices speaking in the background. although a forensic cell phone expert testified he was not personally familiar with the voices, they suggest maggie and paul were not alone. >> you hear three different voices in the video.

you can tell because they are so different you can tell they are different voices. >> paul murdaugh stopped reading and answering texts on his phone just before 8:50 the night he and his mother were killed. maggie's phone showed a similar cutoff in communications from her, however her phone continued to show lots of other activity, steps taken, changes in the phone's orientation, camera activation suggesting the phone might be checking a face i.d. without unlocking and multiple unanswered calls and texts from alec murdaugh, the last text reading call me, babe. after this activity, the phone records no further motion until the day after the murders when the device was located about a half mile away from the family home. john. >> john: jonathan, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: a busy wednesday afternoon, a live look at the white house as we await the beginning of the press secretary

briefing. the white house briefing, karine jean-pierre is expected to take some pretty tough questions. it is expected as the fbi searched the president's rehobeth beach home in delaware. we'll be watching that to begin. >> john: president biden killed the keystone pipeline but a new drilling project in alaska may be on the way. it has plenty of bipartisan support. will climate change activists derail the whole thing? alaskan senator dan sullivan is here to tell us why the project is critical. >> we have an administration so tied to this radical environmental left that they're willing to drive your cost literally through the roof. no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why? type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone.

>> john: major oil and gas drilling project called the willow project in the northeast corner of alaska could be one step closer to approval by the biden administration, despite fierce opposition from environmental groups. interior department announcing completion of the final impact review for the willow project, which is located in alaska's national petroleum reserve. the administration now has 30 days to make a final decision. so it's not yet a done deal and really is a race to the finish. joining us now is alaska senator dan sullivan. you have made this your cause. >> it's a huge issue. >> john: to get as much as you can. there were protests january 10th, pictures of native americans and other climate activists as well, the white house is getting pressure to scrub the project all together. bureau of land managements scaling down the proposal, originally five drilling pads, ok, they are saying we could

live with three. what decision ultimately, senator, do you think the biden administration will make? >> it's part of this broader context you guys have reported on, which is the very strategically damaging biden energy policy, to shut down the production of oil and gas, delay pipelines and infrastructure, and pressure banks not to invest in american energy and as prices go up, they have all over the country, the united states begs from dictators, i'm trying to use leverage to do that. and the initial approval of the willow project as you mentioned, huge benefits, not just for alaska, but for america, up to 200,000 barrels a day, 2500 jobs, highest environmental standards in the world, but there's going to be a battle

royale happening and i'm in the arena, because of the biden administration, radical environmental left want to kill the project. we think it's not only good for alaska, but good for america. >> john: nearly 200,000 barrels a day, the overall reserve is 600 million barrels. >> this is the national petroleum reserve of alaska. set aside by congress. >> john: to drill on. >> decades ago to drill on. >> john: you talked about the potential benefits of the willow project and there is bipartisan support as well. >> there is. >> john: 2,000 construction jobs, 300 permanent jobs, $10 billion in taxes and other revenues, 50% of the royalties are going to go to native communities, public health clinics, schools, public health, search and rescue capabilities. you say this is a really good thing for alaska and america. >> absolutely. it's has broad base support in alaska, all the alaska native groups for the reasons you just mentioned, all of our unions,

but the issue that often gets overlooked, it's good for the environment. why? the lowest greenhouse gas emission project of this size of any project in the world. the biden administration is literally going to venezuela asking for more oil, they have lifted sanctions on the venezuelans. >> john: dirty oil. >> 18 times more polluting than any project, it's good for the environment, if we know that we are going to need oil and gas, which we need, for decades to come, get it from america, from american workers, enhance national security and any viewer watching right now reach out to the blm, blm.gov if you have been impacted by high energy prices, weigh in. the next 30 days are a real battle. need to get it over the goal line. >> john: benefit to native communities, and yet one who is a fairbanks resident works for a conservation group said the

willow project will be built on my traditional home lands in the arctic. far too long in the climate crisis to continue investing in fossil fuel infrastructure, especially one that would lock us into extraction for another 30 years. what do you say -- >> the vast majority of the leadership on the north slope fully supports this. alaska federation of natives, the biggest alaskan native organization in our state fully supports this. and again, the issues that go not just with regard to the communities on the north slope who get enormous revenues for this for clinics, gyms, water and sewer that many americans take for granted, so it certainly will benefit that community. but like i said, it's going to benefit alaskans and americans. when we have 200,000 barrels a day produced from america, a great enhancer of national security as well. >> john: we were talking in the break, the point she makes, especially one that would lock
