jacqui: impacts of the migrant crisis stretching from border towns to big apple with new york city officials are now saying they are having to spend millions of dollars a day on feeding and housing migrants there. welcome to news live. i'm jackry heinrich. griff: i'm griff jenkins.

we have fox team coverage with matt finn on the ground in mission, texas along our southern border but let's begin with nate foy live in new york with more on the astronomical price tag. >> it is. according to city memo on taped by the new york post the city spends average r average $364 every single day of each migrant household and right now the city is housing 30,000 migrants. you do the math, works out to just under 13,000 households. many of the migrants live in humanitarian relief centers that the city not only paid for construction of but on the hook for daily care of migrants. according to post with the daily per diem with $364 per household. the city is spending nearly $5 million every single day on migrants and estimated $4.2 billion this fiscal year and next ending june 2024.

new york city council republican leader joe borelli tells fox the amount of aid coming from the state and federal governments is laughable. fema provided $8 million in december which is two days worth of cost. it's meant to be evenly divided between city, state and federal governments but so far the city claims it's not getting nearly enough. emergency management commissioner zac says the city is at its end of the resources and the city's current plan to care for migrants is more sustainable as more migrants continue to cross the southern border illegally. griff. griff: jacqui. jacqui: despite biden's administrations to slow encounters in the border encounters have surpassed a million since october. matt finn live in mission, texas

with more on the story. >> jacqui, a delegation of republicans from around the country did a tour here. they want today see the border in person and they are urging the president and the border czar vice president kamala harris to come down here just a including my great state of alabama has become a border state. how many people have to die before enough is enough? it is like an airplane going down every day in this nation. 300 plus people die of fentanyl poisoning. matt: here at the border we see shocking lengths, human smugglers and migrants will go to including stunning video, human smuggler in industrial truck computer diagnostics leads texas dps in chase, the driver

ramsing into a fence and 1i legal migrants apprehended in the pictures. and these pictures in smashed tv in an uncovered trailer. texas dps troopers discovered the migrants during traffic stop. a female driver is facing 5 counts of human smuggling. since you mentioned since beginning of fiscal year more than a million of encounters. you have seen a slowdown in the last couple of months. it could be seasonal and interesting to keep the eye on the coming straight months to see if the numbers come back up, jacqui. jacqui: matt finn in mission, texas. griff: parents across the country impacted by the fentanyl coming across the southern border and slamming president biden for not taking the deadly crisis seriously enough. take a listen here. >> very specific saying that a mom, poor mother who loved poor kid to fentanyl, that i killed

her sons, well, the interesting thing is that fentanyl they took came during the last administration. >> what a horrible human being. how can he sit there and joke about it and this is why he opened the border so why. he just doesn't care. he's completely heartless. griff: the grieving mother. more on the fentanyl crisis, joining dhs secretary chad wolf, chad, i want you to react to what you saw there, the president who mentioned feinterl at the state of the union but laughing at the right tact and mother testifying on capitol hill both of her sons killed from fentanyl. >> yeah, it's unfathomable to have the president talk like that on a fentanyl crisis that's gripping america, that's killing over 70,000 individuals every

single year. and so they need a strategy, they need to tell the american people what they are going to do to stop the crisis but you don't see that from this administration. instead you see one-off comments like the president said it came in through the last administration. he has no idea that that's actually true or not. i think he's saying that to deflect some blame from his policies that are encouraging this type of fentanyl and these type of illegal narcotics coming over the border in droves that we have never seen before. it's important for folks to remember, the human crisis that's tied to the border and what's going on down there is enriching cartels like we have never seen before and they are able to put illegal proceeds back into their business and smuggle and traffic more fentanyl across the border every single day. the crisis on the border is tied to fentanyl crisis and they need to come up with a strategy. >> you put your finger on something there, chad, i think is very important and just for the record her sons died when

you were in office, when president trump was in charge but what we have seen when you look at the fentanyl amounts coming, it has only surged at unprecedented numbers and the border patrol chief put on social media late yesterday the weekly recap they have apprehended 299 pounds of fentanyl in just the last week and so while they say that as matt finn was reporting the encounter numbers are down right now in february, the amount of fentanyl continues to surge. so when that is clearly a pressing problem, do you believe that the administration is not doing enough specifically to tackle the cartels and to get the fentanyl under control? >> well, clearly, they are not doing enough. i think if you just look back at the trump administration you had president trump talking about

it, you had myself and others in the administration talking about the fentanyl crisis and things that we were doing every single day to try to stop that, whether it was looking at oversees china in the precursors or getting tough on the mexican government having them do more, deploy their national guard and do a variety of different things because it's not only controlling the human trafficking but it's also controlling that fentanyl. if you were to say to the american people what has this administration done to try to stop the fentanyl crisis or at least curtail it, i think they'd be hard prez -- pressed to giveu an idea over the course of two years and then the numbers are reducing. i think we had reporting in january and february, it's interesting to note, though, they are just moving those individuals through ports of entry. so the number of folks coming on ports of industry in cbp app has gone up 200% over the last year or so. and so the demand decreasing at all, they are moving people around and shifting the numbers around to try to make it look

like they have it under control and they clearly don't. >> in the last ten seconds, i want to ask you on cartels, is it time to label them as terrorist organizations? >> well, i think you can do that and you can do more. i think it's time to get serious about the cartels, they are public enemy number one. we need to treat them that way and the federal government needs to have response and we need the president to lay out what he is going to do to stop cartels from the human trafficking and human crisis. absolutely, all options should be on the table. >> former acting dhs secretary chad wolf, chad, thank you very much. jacqui. jacqui: all right, griff, republican presidential candidate and former u.s. ambassador to the un nikki haley is speaking at the club for growth in palm beach, florida. >> the democratic party is a socialist party. joe biden is a socialist president. we are living through an unprecedented of the welfare

state. 90 million people on medicaid, think about that. 42 million people on food stamps since the moment covid hit, we've spent trillions paying people to just sit on the couch. this president and his party apparently looked at the failings economies of europe and said, let's do that, it's un-american and it doesn't have to be this way. i say that as a former governor who moved 35,000 people from welfare to work and i say it as a future president who will liberate tons of millions of americans from government dependence. our country has never held back this many people while claiming to help them. and we've never come close to spending and wasting this much taxpayer money. when i was elected governor, the national debt stood at 13 trillion. more than a dozen years later, we are at more than 31 trillion.

and because of joe biden, we will add 20 trillion more to the national debt in the next ten years. our children will never forgive us for this. jacqui: you have been listening nikki haley at the club for growth in florida, she spoke yesterday at cpac just outside of washington, d.c., one of two potential 2024 hopefuls trying to actually speak to both crowds as there's an apparent divide in the republican party during nominating process. we will keep an eye on the event there and bring you the highlights as they come out. a stunning revelation meantime from the biden administration a leaked internal memo suggesting that the administration is knowingly putting climate agenda ahead of the country's energy security. lucas tomlinson live now on the north lawn on the white house with the latest on this story. hey, lucas. lucas: in the last hour you had one pair of lawmakers from both sides of the aisle discussing the leaked memo from the biden

administration. >> they have an agenda and that agenda is the green new deal agenda. i doesn't involve oil or gas and it involves batteries and the things that we depend on with china. >> we need to move aggressively and rapidly to renewable energies at the same time. >> officials say this internal memo was posted accidentally by the interior department with higher royalty fees in coast of alaska. lower fees would help attract investment in the united states. the biden administration favored higher fees because according to memo, quote, constitutes the most reasonable balancing of environmental and economic factors for the american public. senate energy chairman joe manchin was fired up because the leaked memo as told by the colleagues from fox digital first reported existence, quote, makes crystal clear that the

administration is literally putting radical climate agenda ahead of the needs of the people of alaska and the united states. now some medical news, jacqui, as you reported president biden has basal cell carcinoma removed. dr. nicole saphier, basal cell carcinoma is rarely fatal but can spread quickly if not addressed by surgery is what we were told happened last month when president biden had physical at walter reed. jacqui: all great apparently in the president's cancer legislation. thank you, lu lucas tomlinson. griff: former president trump said to speak at annual cpac upon venges tonight as other 2024 presidential hopefuls. mark meredith live from cpac in

national harbor where things sound like they are quite active there, mark. mark: griff, good afternoon to you, there's a noticeable increase in the amount of informing in the room compared to the last few days at national harbor as you can understand why. former president trump will be the big draw where he takes stage 4 hours from now as i mentioned a larger turnout from what we saw earlier in the conference. trump, of course, the biggest name to speak at cpac. 2024 candidate himself and a lot of people saying are eager to hear what he has to say as the country inches ever closer do the 2024 presidential race. >> you know, anybody who speaks at an event like this, you know, before trump and then when trump speaks everybody forgot what the other person said. >> i would be happy with nikki haley and donald trump. those are two big candidates in my opinion. >> now there's been a lot of talk about what cpac was going to be like back here in maryland

after spending the last few years in florida and also controversy involving the organizers. the organizers tell us they have been happy with the turnout and also quick to point out that all 3 of declared gop presidential candidates are speaking this year including former un ambassador nikki haley. we showed her in florida. she was here in maryland at cpac on friday. >> i'm running for president to stop america's downward spiral towards socialism and end the self-loathing that has taken over our country. i'm running for president to renew an america that is strong and proud, not weak and woke. mark: and as tradition is with cpac, there's a straw poll that's conducted. everybody in the auditorium who paid for cpac ticket has chance to vote in app who would like to see be the 2024 nominee. trump's name is on there, hail yes' name is on there and

potential candidates, given the crowd, griff, i can only imagine that trump is to come out on top and likely bring it up in the speech four hours from now. griff: we shall see what he has to say. mark meredith live in cpac. jacqui: griff, our political panel weighs on proposed bill that targets wokeness in public schools and aims to increase rights of parents against school bureaucrats. that's coming up next. ♪ ♪ ♪

>> they advocated for and i quote exploration of new avenues for trip wire and source development against traditionalist catholics, their language including those who favor the latin mass. attorney general are you cultivating sources and spies in latin mass perishes, how did it happen? >> that's what they are looking into it. that document is appalling. >> senator josh hawley had heated exchanges with merrick garland as republican lawmakers demand answers to what they are calling political targeting. let's bring political panel today matt, gop strategist and

the vogul group principal and jim, senator schumer policy director. big takeaways from the hearing. there was a drilldown from senator hawley on the fbi's treatment of mark hou, pennsylvania pro-life activist arrested with what some criticized as an excessive use of force. the fbi director was asked by bret baier and he defended it and said basically, the decisions are made by people on the ground. merrick garland gave almost exactly the same answer in this hearing. so starting with you, matt, are the questions surrounding potential bias in the fbi in how they are treating conservatives, are your questions resolved? >> absolutely not. as irish catholic whose family had to flee ireland because of

our faith i can't believe i'm living in the country today where the justice department feel it is need to be tracking those who go to latin mass, treating mark hawk with machines guns drawn protesting in front of abortion center. it's appalling. i love that senator hawley and senator cruz called them out and the disparity in the dispensing of justice through the justice department is appalling. you have a place like the pregnancy center in new york city bombed by james revenge, there's video footage of the attackers and the license plate of the attackers. the justice department and the fbi have done nothing with the footage. jacqui: and then also people have brought up different treatment of, for instance, black lives matter protestors torching federal buildings and some of them didn't have dramatic arrests like mark hawk

did. prompted a lot of questions here. jim, do you think that it's fair that people are looking at these incidents and -- and perceiving a dual system of justice? >> well, the left a lot of times doesn't like federal law enforcement and now the right doesn't like federal law enforcement and i just point out to senator hawley, the missouri has had highest murder rate in the country and just last week the fbi got 21-year sentence of fentanyl dealer there and they made 6,000 arrests over the summer and broke up 895 gangs across the country. so the fbi and federal law enforcement does an awful lot right and get some things wrong and we should focus when they get something wrong but let's not forget to thank them. they are saving a lot of lives and keeping a lot of people safe in this country. jacqui: on the other hand you have house republicans trying to uncover the alleged bias against

conservatives in the federal government and in doing so there were some witnesses who came forth to testify this past week that were supposed to be one thing and according to new york times, i want to pull up the full screen on how they described them. a trio -- excuse me. trio of witnesses built as whistleblowers from provided no evidence of wrong do you think, spoused house claims of the capitol riot and compensated aide of former president donald trump. testifying about the role of the fbi and their aggrieved fbi officials. who does that say to the effort from house republicans to uncover the bias and then you have your -- you're turning up stuff like this according to democrats? >> jacqui, i think the house republicans should televised hearings personally but the sources for that piece in the new york times and the washington post were unnamed

democratic sources which we have seen over the years particularly since the trump years unnamed democratic sources turn out oftentimes embellishing the truth or trying to blur the lines with the truth and what is factual. it is great to have democrat members of congress come forward and say they believe that and like i said i think the hearings are ought to be televised and the american people should see what the government is doing and i did get a chance to see the republican senators grilling the republican senators to a fair issue. to his point, fentanyl is something that the fbi ought to be taking care of and they should certainly not be attacking. one christian group or another basted on their faith as opposed to letting people go with bombing pregnancy centers and not doing anything about it. jacqui: speaking about putting daylight on contentious issue,

there's effort in the house, republicans are introducing a bill that would require school districts to post curriculum publicly, offer in-person meetings with parents, notify parents of violence in the school, it is a parental rights in education bill that's a nod to the cultural issues that have become flashpoints and education and debates about education over the last couple of years. is this going to get -- any democratic support, do you think and should it if the best remedy for all this controversy is sunshine? >> okay, i think we already have sunshine. okay. so we have 99,000 public schools in america. 23,000 elected school boards in america or 13,000 elected school boards and 23,000 parent teacher associations in this country. like locally they are handling this thing. they don't need like a federal colonoscopy on this and i have a

kid in dc public schools. i hear everything. it is so much information overload on what i see in the curriculum know violent incident that happens any day in the school. so i think this is happening. it feels a little bit more like press release politics than real politics to me. jacqui: is this just a setup to gage democrats, you know, support for something like this and try to maybe set up a play leading into the next election cycle? >> if i were democrats i would be talking to congresswoman and trying to cosponsor hr5 because we saw in the virginia governor's race a couple of years ago how damaging this issue can be to democrats. you may remember back then terry mcauliffe not once but two times said parents do not have the right to get involved in students curriculum. i don't think most parents agree with that. that was the democratic governor for virginia, past governor of

virginia and close ally of many democrats in congress. that was his stated position and not only did not not sate it once but had to come back and re-up it 3 times to make sure that everyone knew exactly where he stood which was that parents did not have the right to be part of the choices that the curriculum for their students -- i think that's a ludicrous position for any political party to be backing. jacqui: are democrats risking, you know, losing support by not getting involved in some of these issues that seem to be determining elections lately and allowing republicans to be, you know, running the field as the -- as the party that cares about education, is that a mistake? >> yeah, look, i think democrats are showing some vulnerabilities on education. definitely in the virginia governor's race. we saw that. a lot had to do with covid and schools being opened and closed and the issues around that. my guess is if there's a culture

issue that's going the decide the 2024 election, it's going to be abortion because you're likely to have a republican presidential nominee that is going to be pushing, you know, outright national ban on abortion and i think that is going to take the top but on the education issues, there's no doubt republicans have made some inroads there. jacqui: all right, i love having the conversation. we could go on. we have run out of time. matt, jim kessler, thank you very much for being with us. griff. griff: jacqui, great conversation, meanwhile more misery for california residents as record-breaking snow isolates many communities. the details next. ♪ ♪pe. ♪ all in one and done. cuh-congestion? better. cough? fever? better. mucinex all in one relieves 9 symptoms in 1 dose. it's not cold and flu season. it's always comeback season. i want my daughter riley to know about her ancestors

personal traveling. we have fox team coverage with adam klotz standing by in the fox weather center with christina coleman in los angeles. let's start with her and see what's going on there in the west coast, hey, christina. christina: hi, griff, snowstorms pounded mountains in san bernardino county, 60 miles east of los angeles trapping residents and forcing them to hunker down with food and water as they wait for crews to plow the heavy snowfallen on main highways and country roads. >> we called 911. we called the gas company, we called 911 and they said to call the gas company and bottom line they said there's 500 calls in front of us. >> we are thinking we are in southern california yet we had inundation that has generated severe amount of anxiety,

frustration and difficulty especially to the victims and those who are actually trapped in their own home. >> there's also frustration regarding california governor newsom, declared state of emergency to help with disaster relief but getting blasted for r leaving california on wednesday during weather-related emergencies. in a tweet on thursday republican congressman kevin kiley said, quote, californians are trapped in their homes without power, more storms on the way and governor newsom has just left the state for personal travel. it's unclear where the governor traveled or the nature of the trip. also this is not the first time that newsom has been blasted for traveling outside of the state. he was criticized for going on family vacation in montana since california law banned to montana and other states over lgbtq

policies. newsom pushed back. he said his family trip to manana was not paid for by the state. we have reached out to his office for the backlash he's receiving but so far we have not heard so far. griff: maybe he will see the written help us sign in the snow. thank you very much. tensions rising between u.s. and china as the communist country continues to post threats to the west. democratic congressman christy commented on the tensions earlier today and how they bring rare agreement on capitol hill. listen. >> this is something that we very much bipartisanly agree on. china is definitely behaving poorly in the region and it is also behaving possibly poorly across the world in terms of aspirations in terms of destablizing world peace as well

as peace particularly in the indo-pacifico region. griff: for more on this fred, american security and former national security council chief of staff joining us. fred, you heard christy saying, you know, this is bipartisan, the tensions with china not only only with respects to concerns china arming russia, your thoughts? >> griff, great to be with you. we are seeing something remarkable with kevin mccarthy, he's working with hakeem jeffries to make this bipartisan and i think the members are working together because they recognize growing threat from china. i think the giant chinese spy balloon that flew across the country had a lot to do with it. but under nancy pelosi's

leadership, there was no commission like this. the republicans pleaded for it over and over again. i think we have to hand it to republicans and democrats in the house for recognizing that this is a national security threat and we have to work together on a bipartisan basis. griff: now we saw secretary of state antony blinken over at the g20 this week in india meeting on the sidelines with sergey lavrov and then blinken saying publicly that he is concerned about china possibly arming russia saying that there would be, quote, consequences for engaging in those actions. was that a strong enough message? >> we've seen national security mishandled constantly from day one by this administration. this where you say the first meeting blinken had with counterpart since the ukraine war began. i just think that's appalling. there's been very little contact between senior biden and russian and chinese officials. i don't really know why and i

think this is caused a bad situation to get worse. blinken supposedly saying, well, look, we support peace talks or peace agreement under an agreement that zelenskyy put forward. that agreement is not viable. i mean, this administration is not seriously about peace talks, is not serious about end game for the conflict. we know the british, the french, the germans, they are talking about this to zelenskyy, biden has to put forward a solid and realistic peace plan to end the conflict. griff: do you believe that the administration is being tough enough on china with respect specifically in case of taiwan? >> no, -- i think the administration has played down origins of covid virus and repeated administrations on biden's weakness on the world stage has emboldened china and other u.s. enemies to try things they would not is tried in other circumstances. we've had so many missed

opportunities, meetings like in this meeting in anchorage alaska in 2021 that blinken was present at. i said this before in fox, biden has to start over with a better national security team, men and women with experience to try to put forward real tough policies on russia and china. griff: what should, just in a nutshell what would you change about the china policy? >> first is i would get a new national security of state and security add vieder. i would demand that china give an explanation for the origins of the covid virus. i'm glad we are putting on china not to provide weapons for russia but we should be having regular dialogue and engagement with chinese officials. china is not a competitor, china is an adversary, we should stop treating as competitor. that's not what's going on here. china wants to oust the united states as top power by any means

necessary. this administration doesn't seem to understand that. griff: fred, always appreciate your insights and thoughts. >> good to be here. jacqui: power winter storm bringing snow and strong winds across the great lakes and northeast this weekend is still chugging a long. meteorologist adam klotz has the latest in fox weather forecast. so, adam, what is going to happen for the rest of the weekend? adam: hey, there, jacqui, we were tracking two big winter storms as they move across the country near on this saturday. now winter storm alerts are in place again across the interior new england. if you're in the mid atlantic and you thought you had seen in new york city area, that's not happening. plenty of folks have seen the snowfall. this could be the best ski weekend. it's windy on the backside of this but we have seen big snowfall totals there. it's not the only system we are tracking. also winter system happening out

west as we are seeing rounds and rounds of this big heavy winter snow. really the only two big systems we are tracking. one on the east coast and one on the west coast. this is a future track and you can pay attention to time stamp in the corner. the system continues to push on-shore. right along the coast in california, mostly rain but as soon as you get elevation, you are talking about snow. 201% of seasonal snowfall already. more snow is on the way and where are we going to see it, northern plains but some of these purple colors are getting up into multiple feet of additional snow that's on the way as we are going to be tracking this system. i will leave you with today's forecast if you're in the middle of the country i showed you where big systems are, out west and east. things are mostly clear, chicago 50 degrees today. plenty of spots that are nice out there but we have winter system that is we are tracking through the weekend. jacqui: my mom up in maine was
