monday and tuesday, half the country will feel like springtime getting into next we think. take a look. look at today in new york, 58 degrees. crazy, right? florida will remain warm. 79 in tampa. on saturday, will dip couple degrees into the 40s for new york on saturday and sunday. then back up into the 50s on sunday and monday. look at new york today, feeling like april at 58 degrees, boston 56, 62 in d.c. 50 in portland, maine. here is brian kilmeade's official forecast, he's at the super bowl, today 74, 75 for saturday and 74 for sunday. nod bat. he didn't pay me for the forecast. i did his big game travel for monday when he comes back. we could see weather across the southwest, otherwise a good

i appreciate it. >> ashley: you heard the ag, do you think 100% of fentanyl is coming from cartels? >> i do agree with him. i've been to the southern border and rode along with the sheriff's office down there with cochise county and seen where it comes from. >> ashley: president biden mentioned fentanyl in his state of the union address while getting called out by republicans for failure to secure the border. listen to this. >> fentanyl is killing more than 70,000 americans per year. >> the border, the border. >> president biden: you got it. so let's launch a major surge to stop fentanyl production and the sale and trafficking with more drug detection machines, inspection cargo, stop pills and powder at the border. >> ashley: he is finally admitting there is an issue, it

is with the fentanyl. do you think this is because of his open border policy and he's the only person that can stop this? >> yes, i do, and it is more like 100,000 dying each year, one of the things -- go ahead. >> ashley: go on. >> one thing i want to draw your attention to is that five major associations put out a letter that we researched and we want to call out, it is dangerous, we want to call out two major drug cartels that are responsible and in the shadow in mexico. and that's sinola, and jalesco new generation cartels that are responsible for this. we're naming them and we're standing by our statement. sheriffs across america are tired of this and we need our

citizens' help. call federal representatives and ask president biden to declare them a terrorist organization and go after them, use u.s. military. they are killing 100,000 of our citizens a year, that is unacceptable. >> ashley: yeah, you wouldn't really think that a state like montana would see these issues. it shows it is every single state being affected right now in the united states because of the open border policy. first three quarters of 2022, seized twice as much fentanyl than in the previous four years combined. so it's staggering to see the numbers. sheriff, good luck, stay safe. i know the departments and your deputies will have to learn to deal with this, as well, it is dangerous for them and hopefully we can start seeing changes soon. sheriff leo dutton, thank you. >> thank you, god bles america

>> ashley: president joe biden and his family's business dealings under the spotlight of the hearing yesterday as lawmakers zero in on claims the fbi is covering for the bidens.

>> other whistleblower disclosures made clear the fbi has within its possession very significant impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by hunter and james biden. these disclosures allege joe biden was aware of hunter biden's business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them. >> todd: brooke singman is here. >> brooke: that is right. since grassley claim, hunter biden's attorney denied the request for documents related to foreign business deals made by hunter and james biden and hunter's business partner saying pedalling your own inrack rat and baseless conclusion under the guise of a real investigation turns the committee into wonderland and you into the queen of hearts, shouting sentence first and

verdict afterward to invent legislative purpose thinly veiled at best. republicans are determined to get to the truth. chairmans james comer is calling on the key players to testify under oath. he says hunter biden, james biden and swearen are key in the investigation of joe biden's involvement in his family's business schemes. the biden family sold around the world to the chinese communist party. fox news poll reveals americans are concerned about business dealings and 39% believe president biden and hunter actually broke the law and president biden spending much of this week downplaying the investigation. listen. >> president biden: the public will not pay attention to that, they want these guys to do something. that is all they can do, make up things about my family, it will not go far.

judge pirro accusing people of being out of touch with the american public. >> he's delusional and disconnected. three quarters of the american public who were questioned said this was critical information they should have known about that was suppressed by the fbi and twitter and social media. of that three quarters, half said it would have changed their vote and we're talking about both republicans and democrats. >> brooke: neither james biden or swearen have issued statements. subpoenas will be issue as early as february 22nd. >> todd: bring in joe concha, joe, the most transparent administration president in all of history apparently does not apply in this situation or any situation, right, joe? >> joe: well, it's pretty

obvious, todd, at this point, hunter biden was involved in -- be generous as possible, really shady stuff. not to be so generous, possibly illegal activity, which is why there is a federal investigation going on right now. take congress out, there is a federal investigation into hunter biden. the question that keeps coming up, did the president profit off of these business dealings by hunter biden? is he compromised by the chinese, our biggest adversary and others right now. not just joe biden, james biden, his brother, denies all this and calls the allegation he did anything wrong offensive. more we hear about the laptop and the contents, the more questions arise, there is more fire than just smoke. and the federal investigation continues, by the way, and it seems to concern more people than hunter biden, right? here

we go. we're going now into what is basically a presidential campaign, donald trump announced and joe biden will probably announce soon and others will jump in. this is an important topic and it deserves attention, except when you watch media coverage of hunter biden, you would think, there is no there there, the contentses of the laptop say otherwise. >> ashley: joe biden says the public is not interested in this and it is a waste of time and lies about his family. my question, the subpoenas are going to come down because hunter biden's attorneys are not giving anything over to the committee and others requested from are not responding. to todd's point he made in the 4:00 hour, how can we trust the judges that would issue the subpoenas, they are part of the swamp, too. >> joe: precisely, you wonder is this a fixed fight? will this somehow go away

without a true investigation in this situation? fortunately, congress is pursuing this and fortunately there is a federal investigation going on, as i mentioned, we'll see how this plays out. either way, we've gone from the laptop is russian disinformation, ignore this to where we are now and it just seems like things will get worse before they get better for not only hunter biden, but joe biden, james biden and everyone else that appears to be involved in this based on the contents of the laptop. >> todd: there is a big game this sunday and we love to be talking to you about the spread, who is going to win, all this stuff, we can't. we have to talk about this. president biden has yet to commit to a super bowl interview on fox just days out from the big game. quick background, network that has the super bowl typically interviews the president, this year that is fox. is this surprising, joe?

>> joe: get the elephant out of the room first, todd, america is watching, who do i like in the game and why? eagles will win. >> todd: no. >> joe: i don't think it will be close. >> ashley: we're done, this is over. >> todd: joe concha. >> joe: 34-24, sorry, ashley, i know you're a chiefs' know fa, i don't see the chiefs protecting patrick mahomes against the pass rush. all that said, we have had presidents going back to 2004 -- sorry about that, 2004, who appear on the super bowl pregame interview. this is a tradition, remember the super bowl is carried by multiple networks, cbs, nbc, abc at one point and fox. every president for two decades, george w. bush, barack obama, donald trump, appeared and sat down and done this interview

regardless of the network carrying it. but joe biden appears to be, or his handlers, petrified of bret baier or shannon bream or whoever would conduct this interview asking the types of questions that americans want answered as far as the border, as far as education in this country, chinese spy balloons, as far as inflation and crime. so the president's handlers therefore say, we cannot put the president in this situation with tens of millions of people watching, we'll pull him out and quite frankly he looks like a coward when he does those things, especially considering barack obama sat down with fox news, no problem, joe biden won't do it. he is the least -- most protected president we've seen of the television era, guys. >> ashley: could you imagine being scared of shannon bream, she's so scary. >> todd: nicest human ever created. i will say this, joe, been great

having you on the program, we will miss you at "fox and friends first" going forward. >> ashley: we're done with you, we'll talk on monday and see if your prediction is right. >> todd: thanks. >> joe: save the tape. >> todd: thanks. we turn from the big game to an absolute meltdown on the tennis court. this is what it looks like when i play tennis. young star alexander smashes five rackets during a loss to an, the player from kazakhstan channelling his inner mcenroe, triggered by three double f faults. the booth just went boblic. everyone will know now. >> ashley: so mad. >> todd: democrats in one state pushing to ban tackle football for kids, we're tell you where and who is speaking out against

it. >> ashley: do you have an ex with an outstanding police department? one police department is offering a romantic getaway to the cell block this valentine's day, a very special offer . how cute.

>> ashley: police releasing surveillance footage of a houston gunman who got the surprise when he attempted to holdup a hotel clerk. the suspect climbed over the counter and point the gun to the employee's head, she pulled out a gun of her own, sending him running. watch this. >> okay, okay. [indiscernible] >> i promise. >> ashley: he did not expect that, the suspect is still on the loose. todd. >> todd: we all love this story, texas police department offering to arrest your ex with outstanding warrants this valentine's day, set of platinum bracelets, free transportation with chauffeur, professional glamour shots posted for everyone to see, all capped with a special valentine's day

dinner. the orange county constable spearheading this am capain joins us. this is year three of the program, go back to the beginning, how did we come up with it? >> a couple years ago, a buddy of mine in beaumont, texas had funny posts and i noticed he catches attention from that. i come up with something savvy to capture criminals in the local area. a buddy of mine came up with this, somebody did a special like this, another police department around st. patrick's day, we put a spin on valentine's day, turn in your ex with outstanding warrants. >> todd: how successful has the program been the last two years? >> pretty good, the first year, three years ago, it took off for a little while, then covid shut down the jail due to widespread

of covid. >> todd: what has been reaction from the community? >> a lot of people find it funny and it gives perception of we're allowed to have fun and act as humans and not everybody has to go to jail and we can interact with our community. this is community policing, being able to interact with citizen. >> todd: break down the negative and positive comments, i am curious what people say? >> from my perspective, i love all the people in orange county, even those we arrest. the community has been supportive, it has been shared 20s,000 something times and viewed over 40,000 times. i haven't really had negative comments, except for those who probably have outstanding warrants. i have support from the community and surrounding areas and people from out of state.

it's been amazing. >> todd: people that get arrested, do they know their exes are the ones that turned them in? >> some of them do, they will call their ex out by name, i'm sure they called or their parents or a kid that didn't like me. >> todd: what is their reaction when ex joe turns in mary? what is reaction when they find out their ex turned them in? >> we don't always do that, we have crimestoppers hotline they can call with identity information. the information stays private and it is federally protected and they may not know who turned them in, that is way to protect them and stop the caller from being retaliated against. >> todd: to review, there needs to be outstanding warrant.

you can't just turn in your ex. >> absolutely not. >> todd: thanks so much, great program with a good ending, funny nonetheless, we appreciate your time. according to ashley, super bowl lvii kicks off between the philadelphia eagles kansas city chiefs. >> ashley: brian kilmeade is giving his prediction and a look at the full super bowl experience next. one back,one back. the winter play was really coming together. until disaster struck. ♪ tensions were high. luckily, replacement costumes were shipped with fedex. which means mr. harvey could picture the perfect night. we're ready for the holidays,

>> ashley: president joe biden attacking florida gone desantis and republican party during his trip to the sunshine state yesterday. listen. >> president biden: over 1.1 million people in florida would be eligible for medicaid if governor desantis said i agree to expand it. this isn't calculus, i know that a lot of republicans, their dream is to cut social security and medicare, let me say this, if that's your dream, i'm your nightmare. >> ashley: that comes as more americans are heading to florida to escape democratic policies. we spoke to some of them, watch

this. >> i moved to florida and my taxes went down, my personal property taxes are almost nonexistent and i didn't have to worry about my state forcing me to wear a mask or forcing me to take unconstitutional mandated backseat. >> i left california and everything was done that way and coming out here, our freedom, we don't have problem with the second amendment, we don't have a problem enforcing the law. >> everything from lockdown, you couldn't go to church, you could go to walmart. if you were a small business owner, they were going to fine that store if somebody didn't wear a mask. >> ashley: new data shows from july 2021 to 2022, florida gained residents and blue states saw loss new york and california lost half a million residents

each and illinois lost 230,000. >> todd: new york democrats sack tackle football for kids, michael benedetto. >> while the super bowl is an awful lot of fun, it's not fun when you see young children run around, play a game that they are hitting their heads, dozens, hundred times a week. brains that are rapidly dev developing, why are we putting children at risk for injuring their brains? >> todd: but pop warner, largest youth football in the country says lawmakers need to follow the science. leading researchers found no

proven connection between football and cte. get to adults playing football, countdown to super bowl home 57 on fox is on. >> ashley: who better to cover excitement than brian kilmeade live from glendale, arizona, tell us what you have done so far, brian? >> brian: when you said who is better, i thought you had somebody else in mind, i started feeling kind of bad. last night, spent day with dave p poynoy. things are back to normal, i've covered a bunch of super bowls, they have been scaled down. two years ago, no fans, last year a little bit. when you have the philadelphia eagles, who love their team decades, same with kansas city, they flooded this city, all the cities from glendale to

scottsdale to phoenix. >> todd: all of america is waited on baited breath for your prediction, is this the forum you will give your prediction or are you going to wait for "fox and friends"? >> brian: i will wait for sunday morning, not my show, how about that? wait until sunday morning, i need to talk to the players individually, go to each hotel room and meet them in the lobby and listen on game strategies and then sunday morning, i will do all that. right now, i'll be giving knee-jerk reaction and america expects more from me than that, you would know america better. >> todd: i know america -- >> ashley: could you imagine their reaction if brian kilmeade showed up to their rooms? >> todd: i think it is going to happen. >> ashley: brian, joe concha was on earlier and gave the wrong prediction, we assume you will give the right prediction of chiefs winning, right? >> brian: joe concha gets up in

the morning, not sure what he is saying until 7 a.m., from your show, he could do a 180 and say the wrong prediction would be eagles because you are pulling for the chiefs. i will say this, i will give -- wait until sunday, but i think the person with the ball last wins. it will be similar to how the chiefs end up winning to get here last week, that is how close i think the teams are. this is what i would do, high ankle sprain is like after getting hurt four weeks ago and then playing on it two weeks ago, it is all about patrick mahomes healing ability. >> todd: you are right there, anybody who knows sports knows high ankle injury lingers and lingers and lingers, he had an amazing performance after the injury in that game and amazing the following game, how much will that ankle hang in against

a team formidable as eagles. have they greased the poles in the phoenix area like in philly so the fans when they climb on things can't climb the poles? >> ashley: and the cactus, they warned them not to climb kacact earlier this week. >> brian: i went to auto barn and said who has been buying grease, i do not know about greasing the poles. i read this yesterday, eagles fans, it is lonely, hard, they don't serve you up there, if you do win, don't climb, stay on the ground and celebrate with friends. you don't want to be on a pole when your team wins, it is the oddest reaction, like digging a tunnel, dig a tunnel and climb a pole, i don't understand this reaction. hug it out, stop climbing. >> ashley: i thought it was a joke when i read that headline,

no, this is actually something they do. >> todd: brian kilmeade has amazing slate on "fox and friends" and at the end of our show on his s"fox and friends," we love watching you as you love the stuff you are covering and watch the super bowl this sunday 6:30 p.m. eastern on fox. brian kilmeade, thanks so much. >> brian: stay within yourself, guys. >> ashley: thanks, brian, to nfl honors record-breaking season, this should be todd's read, landed patrick mahomes his second mvp earning 48 of 50 first place votes, honor coming three days before he take's football's biggest stage, super bowl lvii. >> thank god for giving me this platform and putting so many amazing people around me, to my family, my mom, my dad, my brother and sister, thank you for supporting me everyday and

>> it's not a major breech. i mean, look. it's totally -- it's a violation violation of national law. it's our airspace and once it comes in our space we can do what we want with it. >> ashley: florida congressman greg steube joins us now. first off we are glad you are on the mend and feeling better. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> ashley: you heard biden say there no, this wasn't nothing to worry about. this wasn't that big of a breach. now we are finding out this was collecting data. >> it was. >> ashley: how can you sit up there and dismiss this as no big deal. >> during the state of the union some big deal that they shot it down after it traversed the entire continental united states connecting signal information. you have them collecting information and radio information of over military trying to get information to jam signals. to say try to have knowing our codes and our radio frequencies

for things that we do. this is a significant breach of national security and this administration sat back and let the chinese communist party surveil our military basis for the entire continental united states and once they had gotten all that information, then shot it down. >> todd: what do you think happens going forward? clearly this was not a one-off. they have been doing this for a while and presumably they are going to keep doing it. >> well, hopefully the armed services committee, which i know there has been classified briefings of this. there was classified briefings this week in congress. hopefully the armed services committee now that we have republican control is going to have hearings on this. and pass bills to structures and to push the administration to actually defend our country from threats like this. this is a significant national security threat. the chinese communist party is the number one security threat to the united states. this administration sat by and let them collect data and information for the entire continental united states and did nothing about it. >> ashley: yeah. we are have to get to this.

the house select cub committee on the weaponization the federal government held first hearing yesterday. let's listener to a piece of this and talk about tnches in my time in congress i have never seen anything like this. dozens and dozens of whistleblowers, fbi agents coming to us, talking about what's going on in the political nature at the justice department. >> ashley: so you heard congressman jordan there, what has been the most -- the biggest take away that you think from this hearing so far? >> well, have all known that the doj and the fbi have been politicized over the past few years going back to the russian collusion hoax and surveilling on the trump campaign. now you have actual fbi agents swearing an oath to be honest, sitting before a congressional committee, testifying that that's exactly what has been going on in the doj and the fbi. so much so that they left the bureau because of the politicization that's going on. so bringing these facts and evidence before the american people so they can see just how politicized that joe biden and the democrats have politicized

our intelligence gathering services, our law enforcement services is important for the american people to see the facts and evidence behind that. >> todd: in that hearing i thought the democrat response was appalling basically they are for this kind of weaponization because it helps them, that's the bottom line. >> of course. >> todd: finally, sir, this is your first time on "fox & friends" first since your accident. >> yep. >> todd: it was really, really serious what happened to you how is your recovery going. >> recovery is great. head back to normal. neck is back to normal. lost the c collar. i still have blood in my lungs which i won't be able to fly to d.c. hopefully be able to fly in march. i cracked my pelvis. six weeks non-weight bearing there. i will be back for the baseball game june 1st playing for the republicans on the mound. so we're on the mend. getting better every day. >> ashley: rehab is in your future until then? >> that's right. >> todd: the republicans need
