congressman james comer says we need to confront the terror group head on. >> we can't continue to turn a blind eye to what is going on, they are in the transportation business. every person that enters the border pays a toll. the biden administration is making the drug cartel more powerful. >> todd: jackie ibanez has the latest. >> the u.s. is offering $50,000 reward for information leading to their safe return. there is video showing the moment the three men and one woman were kidnapped. they drug the people into the back of a pickup truck after entering the city. authorities believe it was a case of mistaken identity and the victims were wrongful ly

targeted. the victims were from south carolina. according to a family member, they were heading to mexico for a medical procedure. she says this is like a bad dream you wish you could wake up from. to see them thrown in the back of the truck and drug is unbelievable. the president of mexico is assuring the families the mexican government is working to bring them safely home. the white house calling the kidnapping unacceptable. >>y we are closely following the kidnapping and assault, these sort of attacks are unacceptable. our thoughts are with the family of the individuals. u.s. law enforcement is in touch with mexico law enforcement. >> all of a sudden, the gunmen

were in front of us, nobody moved. if we move, they will see us or shoot us. mexican authorities have confirmed the death of one citizen who saw the kidnapping unfold. >> todd: this is a frightening and chilling story. former attorney general william barr says the cartels are running mexico. watch this. >> there is another hostage, the mexican government, being held by parimilitary cartels that control mexico temperature is pretty close to a failed narco state. the government has no will and doesn't have the ability to deal with the cartel. >> todd: senator lindsey graham says he will take action.

>> 70 to 100,000 have died from fentanyl poisoning from mexico and china and this administration has done nothing. i will introduce legislation to make certain drug cartels foreign terrorist organizations under u.s. law and set the stage to use military force to protect america from being poisoned from things coming out of mexico. mexican government, if you don't clean up your acts, we will clean it up for you. >> ashley: george allen kelly, the rancher accused of shooting a mexican national pleaded not guilty. he was originally charged with first-degree murder. the rancher said he fired warning shots at a group of suspected smugglers, the trial will take place december 6th.

>> todd: president biden siding with republicans who want to block and getting pushback from progressives. >> dc is not a state, the bill is coming to his desk and he will make a decision. >> todd: senate set to vote to disapprove of the bill tomorrow. a large group of demps expected to join the republicans. awaiting president biden decision on whether to allow the willow project. >> what is more important to president biden improving energy security or reducing fossil fuels? >> so first of all, it doesn't have to be one or the other. >> todd: we are talking to an alaska energy boss who once endorsed joe biden.

>> ashley: and novyi svit pulls out of tournaments in the u.s. for being banned over his vaccination status. didn't the president say the pandemic is over? tomi lahren reacting to that. k-d

>> janice: good morning. we have a lot to go over, several storm systems impacting the u.s. temperatures are cold across the west, warmer than average in the south and southeast. we have snow. a quick-moving system across the northeast, even no getting some snow. this will be out by "fox and friends" at 6:00 a.m., i promised brian kilmeade it will be over and wouldn't affect his ride home. several inches for parts of missouri and mississippi river valley over next couple of days, causing flash flooding. we have cold air across the northern tier of the country, several rounds of snow this week

into the weekend. this energy is moving to the west, they have been socked with rain and snow for weeks. snow forecast from tuesday to saturday, over foot or more toward the midwest. the west, the whole coast getting more coastal rain and mountain snow, we have been covering this area really for months, with all this rain and mountain snow. very helpful for the drought, but flash flooding is a concern for the coast of california to southern california and more feet of snow for the mountainas. the west coast rain forecast through sunday, some cases upward of three to five inches of rainfall along the coast and snow for the sierra in the feet. people can't get out, if you live in the mountains of california.

>> ashley: snow above second story of their window, it is crazy. >> janice: snow will be over for us this morning by 6:30 a.m. i have a complaint file outside of my door. >> ashley: awaiting president biden decision on the future of the willow oil project, alaska's largest new oil and gas development in decades. even democrats want it approved. back in washington, d.c., the president's party is strongly opposed, no version of this plan consist, taking bab the climate crisis as reflected in the inflation reduction act. joel call is president of afl cio. thank you for being here. does it concern you hearing democrats in washington are pushing back on this, especially ahead of this decision that the president will make on this project?

do you think he will be influenced at all? >> i'm sure the president is weighing this decision very carefully, we have confidence we have passed this nepa process and this is reaffirmation of a decision that has already been made and we hope he will find in our favor and we'll be able to develop this oilfield. america must continue to develop natural oil and gas reserve in alaska and build toward a climate future that is free of carbon, but do two things at once, it is simple. >> ashley: what does america look like if it is approved and if it is not approved, can you give us a picture of both situations? >> absolutely. america will depend on foreign oil and continue to import oil

from venezuela and places we can get it. the war in ukraine has put a cramp on production of oil and ability to get it to this country. we would be able to provide lots of oil as we transition to the next phase of how we fuel our economy. we have decades of oil available here and it is american oil creating american jobs and we are very excited about our ability to bring that. it is 2500 jobs for alaskans. there are more jobs here, all facilities built will be barged up to the north slope and built in the gulf states thchl is jobs for alaska, the gulf states and infusion of lots and lots of work, which we really need in alaska. >> ashley: absolutely, the white house is defending president biden's energy agenda.

>> what is more important, improving energy security or reducing fossil fuels? >> first of all, it doesn't have to be one or the other, we can try -- >> in 2019, i guarantee we will end fossil fuel, this project would be dead, right? >> the president has been clear how he's approaching the energy space. he does it in a way that is responsible. he does it in a way that delivers for the american people. >> ashley: you heard karine jean-pierre, the press secretary, say it doesn't have to be one or the other, what do you make of the comments? >> she is right, it doesn't have to be one or the other. american oil on the safest planet, welcome to alaska, we have 50 years experience, most experienced workforce on this

know plaet and we're ready to go to work and can do what the president says, two things at once, happy to oblige. >> ashley: your organization endorsed him, what happens if he doesn't support you? >> all of this aside, joe biden has been an amazing president for working families, this would be disappointment for sure. we will keep struggling to put alaskans to work. >> ashley: thank you for your time. so did you see this latest cringe-worthy moment from vice president kamala harris? >> share with you very simple story. i went home one day and i said, why are conservatives bad,

mommy, because i thought we were supposed to conserve things. i couldn't reconcile it, now i can. >> todd: you can feel tomi lahren ready to explode, weigh in on this one. there she is, she is next. the school play was really coming together. until... disaster struck. luckily, replacement costumes were shipped with fedex. which means mr. harvey... could picture the perfect night. fedex can help you be ready for what's next.

[laughter] >> ashley: vice president kamala harris cracking herself up while

telling an oddly specific story and insulting republicans in the process. >> todd: tomi lahren, i knew how excited you were to weigh in on this. i couldn't find words. kamala had different words with her mother than i did. why waste her time with panels saying conservatives stink? >> well, this is the unity administration, i wouldn't expect anything different from our vice president. this is further than cringe worthy. take a look and think about it. you have the vice president of the united states, a woman, whether you love her or hate her, she inspires young girls who wish they could attain that position to be vice president of

the united states and she is laughing and proudly admitting she judges someone based on political ideology and taught to do that from an early age. let that sink in. that is what is wrong with society today. democrats believe and teach their children to believe you can judge somebody, litmus test for friendship is political ideology and party. that is cringy. why is kamala harris not going to the border and sitting in colorado taking jabs at conservatives, this is the democratic party at a whole and how they look at this country. whether hillary clinton calling us deplorable and president biden talking about maga republicans. >> ashley: it is immature for the vice president to be saying that. novak djokovic, the number one tennis player in the world has

withdrawn from tournaments in the u.s. because he was denied entry for being unvaxxed. i thought the pandemic was over. >> todd: that is what my notes say. >> i live in tennessee, the pandemic has been done for two years now. the biden administration will catch up. still we're doing this, denying people into the united states who have had covid multiple times and the vaccine does not prevent inspection or spread. i don't understand what this administration is doing, they don't want to admit they are wrong, the fact we are still doing this while we have illegal immigrants coming across by the day unmask and unvaccinated,

this is hypocrisy. i am proud of the athletes and public figures that have refused to bend and cave because they are inspiration to a lot of people to sit by principles, even when you sacrifice a lot. >> todd: it is tough, he is one of the top 100 healthiest people in the world. a professor is wanting black staff to get time off for dealing with bereavement leave. it is customary to receive support and understanding while grieving the loss of a loved one, the same care is not given to the black community when we lose someone. >> this is critical race and he is a critical race professor.

what troubles me, this education is being brought to school and college education down to elementary school and high school, this is taught to divide people based on race and decide what they should be given and what special conditions should be made because of the color of their skin. that is wrong. the institution did not say other minority groups would be given such leave and what about all people in all communities of all color who deal with crime on a daily basis and are fatigued by that? have that discussion. they talk about race and only race because it is a way to divide americans and this is critical race. we can say it is ridiculous, this is being taught to your children, americans, wake up and get active. >> todd: thanks. >> ashley: police charging 23 people with domestic terrorism

after an attack on police training center in at not laa. >> todd: we'll ask an atlanta business leader about the damage they are doing to the city he actually lives in, when we come back.

>> todd: a fox news alert, 23 protesters attempted to burn down a police training facility

in atlanta are facing domestic terrorism charges and most are not even from georgia. >> ashley: brooke singman will tell us more. >> brooke: the majority of the people arrested are facing domestic terrorism charges and all suspects could face federal charges. the suspects are age 25 or younger, but four of them are over 40. 23 of the suspects are from out of states, including new york, colorado and arizona. two of them are not from america, one is from canada and another from france. thomas jurring jurgens, one suspect is an attorney. -- an experienced legal observer and the arrest is not evidence of any crime, but heavy-handed

law enforcement intervention. protesters threw rocks and molotov cocktails at the training site. the white house had not heard about the protest until yesterday afternoon. watch. >> i have not heard discussion about this protest over the weekend, we'd have to go back to the team and see where we are, where we are standing and response on that. this is the first time i'm hearing about the protest. >> atlanta bail fund is taking donations. the solidarity fund claiming protesters were attending a music festival and police seem to be lashing out at anyone at the festival. the group of protesters is accused of leaving a music

festival near the construction site to take part in the violent protest. >> ashley: thank you. we will bring in atlanta small business owner, bruce lavelle. as you heard from brooke, 23 people charged, only two were from georgia and as a business owner, this cannot settle well with you, they are not destroying their city. people are coming to your city and destroying it. >> thanks for having me. here in atlanta, i've been in business 28 years. a couple of years ago, remember what we went through with the riots that went on. i remember covering the burned down wendy, where the former mayor allowed an aughton mus.

i spent a lot of time out there and talked to people and once again, the majority, i'd say 90 plus percent of the people were from out of town temperature is like deja vu. interesting thing, i'm praying and hoping these folks that were charged, interesting to see what the da's office will do. i served on the police board for years and i know a lot of the chiefs and want cans. they said when we get them to court, you see in fulton county with fanny willis, liberal prosecutors, that is interesting tell-tale sign what they do with the people. >> todd: it seems like at lant is a target for this type of

lawlessness, only two people from georgia. what does that tell you about their motives, bruce? >> it is interesting, we have georgia public safety training center further down, but listen, atlanta a is growing. hard to find men and women who want to serve because of the culture pushed on the american people. it is a deterrent to bring good men and women who want to serve, that is why they have a nationwide search. they are short. there is a push for more training. this facility going up is really, really good, a blessing to have, we need more of these across the country. it will bring training and safety with the officers and most of all, praying a lot of

cities start paying more for what they have to go through. >> ashley: of course. talk about the training facility in a city, considering what you have gone through in the past several years, it's not been gone, it's been a mess. i couldn't imagine the people of atlanta would not want more training for police officers to keep them safe, am i right? >> yeah, absolutely. here is the interesting thing and i hope your network especially, fox, go out and do documentaries or research on businesses that didn't come back after the upriseings. i've been in business here retail 28 years, i know a lot of peep and he will we support 62% of gdp, we pay sales tax and property tax that funds public

safety. when you push back on this, you rob resources for a business to be sustainable. what happens? people go somewhere else, they move out and your city suffer for people who have their life savings ask skin in the game when they are under this type of pressure. i rather they go back as my family, in the civil rights movement, with dr. almeda king. like to see us in suit and ties and when the sun went down, protesters went home, protesting at 11 p.m. at night is dangerous. >> todd: if we had drj prosecute domestic terrorists, instead of parents at school board meetings, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in. fox news alert, president biden rolling out new budget plan

new budget plan today, including raising taxes on some americans and how much medicare pays to prescription drugs. >> ashley: cheryl casone is here with the details. >> cheryl: good morning, we're getting more detail on this, this all just crossing this morning. the white house plans to propose a plan to raise taxes on americans making $400,000 and above and reducing what medicare pays for some prescription drugs. 60 million seniors depend on medicare for health insurance. the president writing the budget i'm releasing this week willic mathe medicare trust solvent without cutting a penny in of abouts, we can get better value making sure americans receive better care for money they pay into medicare. here is chuck schumer on biden's budget plan. >> focus on creating opportunity

for average americans, he will keep his promise not to raise taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year. democrats will keep medicare solvent and lower the deficit by $2 trillion over next 10 years. >> cheryl: this is part of the white house broader 2024 budget proposal, set to be released on thursday. the two issue ms i'm speaking about will fairs tough pushback from republicans, they control the house, remember. >> todd: will this have a ripple effect through the rest of the economy? this notion that we need to tax things and not do as much with medicare? >> cheryl: yes, you are raising taxes, but he's saying not on anybody that makes under

$400,000. that has been debated. the problem is, you have other spending under this administration that caused inflation and instead of cutting spending somewhere else, you go after certain prescription medications for seniors. think about new alzheimer's drugs coming out, for als, those are not generic and i have a feeling that is what they will target, the more expensive drugging. >> todd: this is rich, this ard min stragz and all democrats spent three months saying republicans want to take away medicare and look what joe biden is proposing in his very own budget. the hypocrisy is on display. >> ashley: congressman comer is going to be talking to the treasury department this week.

>> cheryl: a hearing later this week will put a spotlight on the treasury department and their failure to provide hunter biden's financial reports. house oversight chairman james comer explained. >> we're going to get answers as to why the treasury department is blocking the house oversight committee from getting this information. in the obama and trump administration when the chairman requested bank violations from treasury, they provided access to them. when joe biden became president, for somen ra, he changed the rule and blocked congress from having access to this. we want answers and will provide them information our committee has already uncovered with respect to why we think it is imperative that we have access to these bank violations. >> cheryl: comer requested reports for the first time on january 11th, he pointed to the

reports as potential wrongdoing by the president's family, particularly hunter and business dealings that have come into question from ukraine and ties to china. >> todd: you wonder what reason they would not give over this information other than protection of the biden family. listen to this, montana fentanyl seizures spiked 11,000% since 2019, over 200,000 and less than 2004 years ago. and overdose deaths put montana officials on high alert. sheriff from montana joins us now. describe how deadly the fentanyl powder can be if it is airborne and ingested. >> super deadly, we have narcan we issue to officers and to the

patrol deputies and officers. the problem is, as you stated, if it gets aerosol, you don't have a warning. you have respiratory distress, followed by cardiac arrest. we had that happen in my detention center probably about four weeks ago. it was smuggled in, it was a powder and they followed that exact thing. through cpr and narcan, narcan is not working like they thought. the fentanyl is being diluted and these women would have died. it took three doses of narcan each to revive them. this is shall it. >> todd: following the story of the toddler goes on vacation wither had family, goes to an air bnb, somehow dies from -- not sure if it is airborne

fentanyl or something she touched, that little girl is no longer with us, that is a tragedy. is this like anthrax and just being around it can take your life, even though you have nothing to do with drugs or fentanyl or anything? >> if left laying around, if unused product, it certainly can and why we haven't declared war on this particular product that is killing hundreds of thousands of americans each year is beyond me. i don't understand it, it is dangerous. certain rubber gloves don't work, we've had to use nitral gloves. >> todd: it can hit an innocent person, law enforcement is in the cross hairs around people going through fentanyl overdose or can touch it, dealing with dealers and the like. what are you telling deputies?

>> to always use the personal protective equipment that if they are going into an area or a house they think it is there, glove up. use a mask. we're not sure that it would 100% stop it, it is better than nothing and we have not had per our county, not had a deputy go down. others have of ared unintentional overdose from it and you don't have long to get narcan. it is scary. it is terrible that the -- i lost it. >> ashley: we got to let you go. sheriff dutton, thank you, appreciate it. breaking detail about the four americans captured in cartel-controlled mexico.

♪ >> todd: a fox news alert. fbi ramping up efforts to bring home four americans who were

kidnapped by heavily armed men in mexico on friday. the abduction reportedly happened at an intersection just three blocks from the u.s.-mexico border and the cartel controlled city of matamoros. >> florida congressman michael waltz cocoa sponsoring a bill to fight the cartels and joins us now. thank you for being with us. i have to jump into this. as a former military member you may be able to answer this question. now you are in congress. how would this work with the u.s. military and the mexican government. would mexico push back on the u.s. military in this? how would that look. >> we have to realize that these cartels in mexico have declared war on the united states. they control our border. they're killing tens of thousands of american citizens and we need to deploy every asset that we have not just law enforcement but also military and intelligence to dismantle them, to disrupted them and to take them out.

now. i'm not talking about an invasion of mexico u.s. military boots on the ground. i'm talking about cyber, intelligence, drones. >> targeting. we begin disrupting their money, their supply chains and targeting their leadership just as we did in colombia in the 1990s when we took down cartels. we need to take down the sinaloa and jalisco cartels. we cannot accept a narco-state that is completely ungoverned on our border that is preying on american citizens. >> todd: congressman, as you know the problem runs way deeper than just the cartels. here er is former a.g. bill bar. >> held tens of thousands of terrorist organizations that effectively control mexico.

it's pretty close at this stage to a failed narco-state. they can use violence and oceans of cash to runt the government. the government has no will and it doesn't have the ability to deal with the cartels. >> look. this isn't a problem that started with this kidnapping on friday. >> this has been going on for a couple of years now. why isn't joe biden and the white house using our economic as well as our military might to force mexico, the government of mexico force their hand, force them to do something. force them to police their own darn country? >> well, you know, again, yoursing what we did with colombia in the 190s, originally the colombian government was not on board but when they realized that we were going to take action either with them or without them, they began to work with us and to come along. the i think the mexican government really has no choice. they don't control their own territory. these groups are more like isis

than they are the mafia. they have stood firm, these cartels, against the mexican army causing over 50 casualties in one battle shooting up mexican air force aircraft. so, again, we need to be thinking about it differently and just as al-qaeda killed 3,000 americans with their planes, these cartels are killing 80,000 americans a year with poison. we need to use every asset we can to your point on the biden administration. this bill that i have introduced with representative dan crenshaw would authorize the pentagon to begin supporting law enforcement with all kinds of military assets. including even satellite imagery, targeting special operations. whatever we determine is needed but what we can't do is continue allow our border to be run and our cities to be destabilized and our neighbor to fall into a failed narco-state. do nothing.

>> ashley: we have to get to this. the white house is deflecketting questions after the "wall street journal" reported that china may be using cranes as potential spying tools. listen to this. >> well, there were the chinese spy balloons and now there are these chinese spy cranes the "wall street journal" is comparing them to trojan horses and use 80% at u.s. ports? >> on the cranes, don't have any comment on that specific reporting. i would refer you to the department of transportation and the department of defense who have been tasked with congress to study this particular issue. >> congressman, your thoughts on what you just heard? >> yeah, the spy cranes, well, look, we have to understand that anything that is made in china can be used whether it's a computer chip, a cell phone tower, a crane, we can a censor, we can go down the lipps that they will vacuum update that. we are under a tsunami of

chinese espionage. the fbi recently boarded a ship that was bringing in one of these cranes and reportedly is it had various types of censors and spyware on it. unfortunately 80% of our ports are now staffed with cranes and one more supply chain we have to make at home. >> todd: thank you, congressman. "fox & friends" begins now. bye-bye everybody. >> video shows four americans kidnapped at gunpoint in mexico. >> authorities now believe it was a case of mistaken identity. >> former attorney general bill barr says cartels are running mexico. >> there is another hostage and that's the mexican government. >> protesters who attempted to burn down a police training facility in atlanta are now facing domestic terrorism charges. >> they threw rocks, fireworks and molotov cocktails at the construction site. >> you have to be so sure in your decision. >> we are hearing more from jurors in the alec murdaugh trial it was this video that placed him at the
