>> hi everyone from new york i'm jillian turner along with ray monday arroyo kennedy and gongs welcome to the big saturday showed big story about opportunities, three women have vanished in mexico without a trace after crossing the border from a texas town to sell clothing in a flee market now fbi is asking for public's help finding them days after mexican drug cartel were caught on camera captures four americans two we know ended up dead. bill joins us from texas this
2:01 pm
evening. hi, bill. reporter: hey good morning good evening to you two sisters as well as their friend all disappeared in mexico after crossing two weeks ago as you mentioned to go to a flee market to sell some clothes let's take a look at photos right now this is 47-year-old perez rios her older sister 48-year-old marina perez rios and friend dora alise none of them seen or heard from since february 24th again two weeks ago when they crossed into mexico. as you look at more photos of these women we'll tell you pd confirms us to families are in touch with them that families are worried would these women he been potentially kidnapped somewhere in mexico. local police department says they did contact the fbi. the fbi telling fox news they are aware of these missing women. they are investigating but cannot comment at this point in time an the local police here
2:02 pm
saying women last seen wearing green 1996 chevy siffled rad doe with texas plates and talk about where they crossed where they're from. take look at this map as we mention from right here in penitas they crossed into mexico in the rio grand value on february 24th where were they heading going a city, that's about three hours south of the border south of the southeast of the city of about monterey going there to sell clothing and went dark. their families have not heard from them since. now texas dps issue ising a warning to all texas residents. they're saying do not go to mexico for any reason. especially spring break, take a listen. >> our department is urging anyone thinking about traveling to mexico especially spring breakers to avoid those areas it is too dwaidges kidnappings that are taking place in mexico so
2:03 pm
very important and i can't stress enough to those that are thinking about traveling to mexico especially for spring breakers because that's one thing that we are preparing for in coming weeks is for spring break to avoid areas as much as possible. >> and we're told that mexican authorities are spearheading this investigation on their side of the border while, obviously, it is the fbi on the u.s. side of the border the state department confirms to fox news they are aware of these missing women, however, they cannot confirm their status in terms of if they're u.s. citizens or u.s. residents or waiting to hear more from the state department about that. but three women have gone dark essentially no contact from them. nobody seen them in last two weeks guys back to you. >> bill in penitas kennedy this highlights something we don't talk about when we talk about drug cartel mexican cartels border we talk about how they destroy and decimate border towns on the u.s. side.
2:04 pm
what doesn't get a lot of attention is fact that they also make the me of the border completely inhospitable to americans might not be a big deal if you live in new york or washington dwrk i live but if you live in the rio grand you live in mcallen this is something that impedes on your daily life and can't drive to neighborhoods you might end up dead. >> especially women. women are targeted and it is sad because law enforcement south of the border they don't have the kind of urgency that you wish they would for women who disappear and, you know, sometimes their bodies are found weeks or months later. they're discarded. there are -- assume to be just disposable, and it is really sad because often time when is law enforcement talks about it, they sort of blame these victims and they say oh well they were someplace they shouldn't have been or they were doing something they shouldn't have been doing. yeah, and when they do that, they sort of cap themselves at the knees.
2:05 pm
so they don't have the urgency to go to look for them and resolve these case and bring people to justice. now, these are americans who have been missing for weeks. you know, that we know of they were living in texas. but we're just hearing about it now because of the sensational story about four americans went for tombny tuck tourism in mexico two of them return and two were murdered. so now that's getting more attention because people are scared because we've always seen mexico in terms of tourism is innocuous safe place. preem rethinking that and if american tourism dollars aren't going into mexico that is going to make big, big dent. >> there's still more today this hour that we don't know about these missing women than we do know. we don't know for example if they were actually only residents of the u.s. or were actually citizens we're hoping to get more details over coming days. ray monday something complicating picture is
2:06 pm
conflicting guidance we're getting. lieutenant says texas no americans should go mexico for any reason and state department says go but we recommend you don't travel to certain areas. >> certain locals. texas is picking up slack of the federal government. the biden administration and the federal government should be ceasing and locking down this border. we're empowering these cartels through bad policy. every time, look i saw lieutenant alvarez i sat on rio grand and watch them bring people by the boat loads over at 3 a.m. on the dot every night. we know they're coming over. the cartels create these human decoy operations down river. so that upriver they're moving humans as well as -- as well as weaponry across our border. this is done every day. if you lock down the border as a government say nobody is going to cross xepght through these two points, we would strangle the cartels strong hold strangle
2:07 pm
ability to create the malice they've created on both sides of the border and ability to sending that horrible fentanyl and violence across border to mexico. these poor women are just victims of it but kennedy is right we need answers. and i'm glad texas is saying don't go to mexico. that may help mexico get engaged right now they're not at all not since bill barr tried to bring dea in there and real american and gaugement with mexican government that seems to have been ended. >> no travel warning for entire country will have severe consequences here's at the podium yesterday i want to get your reaction. >> there was, of course, white house was considering or department of homeland security considering reintroducing the practice of family detention. >> what we're going promise is that we're going to do this and move forward with a -- with a kind of system this
2:08 pm
immigration system that has been gutted really truly gutted by last administration we're going to move forward and do it in a humane way. >> child separation again you would say no we're not going to do child separation right -- i mean, so just seems like you can say like we're not going to do family detention. >> what you're asking me chris is to speak to rumors that are out there. >> you know, i don't know -- >> let me say that wasn't the podium, obviously, she was on msnbc. >> i don't know what kind of shoes she wears -- i don't know what kind of shoes she wears but i imagine knee high rubber boots because fertilizer spews into room she walks to on behalf of this president she's having to speak for a man who doesn't speak for himself and that's not a hit at anything other than when he speaks out both sides of his mouth. we're going to cover topics all night tonight where the administration says one thing and does another on this one specifically, with this whole idea the federal government says you can't travel to these areas
2:09 pm
but you can travel to those areas. that was the rule ten years ago. that was the rule 20 years ago no longer honor among thieves when it comes to the organize crime in mexico like it used to be. it used to be that hey if someone is an american you stay away from him because we don't need that trouble down here. now they're either not afraid because they don't think biden will sending it or inevitable losing control -- >> xepght except they did issue that apology letter. >> you think those men are ones who committed that crime or do you think they might have used that opportunity to get rid, listen i don't know much about next cab about cartels but rules that are king the when it comes to using prohibit products like moving humans or across a border or into the -- so they kind of act the same and taliban turned in a lot of folks. duke any of them were people we were looking for. >> you're not buying -- >> not at all. they don't want focus they want to continue moving their product over the border with law
2:10 pm
enforcement there paying off certainly on mexican side. >> that, obviously, is not -- >> if they are giving ten bodies young guys who are not invested in organization yes that is -- that is what they're doing to silence all of this. it was like alex murdaugh and trial going yeah i lied to people but i would never kill anyone. and it's -- >> play point on that topic is americans can't go to cancun anymore and say as well as two towns over they won't mess with you because you're an american i don't think that's the case anymore. >> two weeks ago -- >> journalist used to be protected in war zones. >> other problem here is karim jean-pierre talking about family detention and not going to do that stop this was a push policy, a obama policy who created the cages, and this was done humanely. they separated the parental unit from the child to make sure that that child was part of that parental unit and a lot of kids
2:11 pm
are trafficked that way. so this -- biden administration has to come up with a coherent immigration policy that protects our people and mexican people. >> call for it is bipartisan. >> i agree. >> we've got to leave it there but stick with us you might remember president famously said this about his commitment on the campaign trail to a green climate agenda. >> look at my eyes. i guarantee you, i guarantee you we will end fossil fuel. now administration is creating green lighting alaska project that would be largest new oil development in the united states in years. we'll explain why, coming up next. ♪ inner voice (kombucha brewer): if i just stare at these payroll forms... my business' payroll taxes will calculate themselves. right? uhh...nope. intuit quickbooks helps you manage your payroll taxes, cheers!

2:15 pm
2:16 pm
that president would even consider approving this project. white house spokesman karim jean-pierre said last night president biden is delivering on most aggressive climate agenda of any president in history and spurring, spurring an unprecedented expansion of energy and will make independent decision on the willow project no final decisions have been made. now climate activist say biden is breaking his promises made during the campaign by even considering this project. remember what joe biden said during the campaign. >> i want to fluke my eyes i guarantee you, i guarantee we will end fossil fuel and i won't cooperate -- >> would there be any place for fossil fuels including coal and fracking in a biden administration? >> no we would work it out. we would make sure it is eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those. have a transition from oil industry, yes.
2:17 pm
>> transition what are the political consequences to the president as he considers this approval this drilling license, he promised this important base on the democratic party wouldn't do it you heard fluke my eyes welling they're looking what are they seeing? >> a bit of a catch 22 of the campaign making because if it approves this project as you pointed out he's reneging on really something that was a core campaign commitment it is something he didn't just say in those clips he said it over and over again. he said it -- multiple times as sitting president as well if the he doesn't approve this project energy prices pricing at the pump continue on this upward trajectory pretty much unchecked at this point that will cost him gravely in the 2024 election. the other problem the administration grappling with they're about six months behind schedule now in terms of replenishing spr strategic
2:18 pm
petroleum reserve they've not been able to make moves on that because the price of oil remains so stubbornly high on energy market that's something -- >> only way to get prices back in check and to bring any sense of leverage in international energy markets is for the united states -- to replenish it. to get back in the game so far no luck. kennedy i have to share this with you you're dear pal karim asked her to square biden promises with his expected approval of this drilling project. watch this. >> what's 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 dwoak both. >> in 2019 i guarantee you we're going to end fossil fuel so this project would be dead right? >> here's what i can say the
2:19 pm
president did meet with the alaska delegation last week at the white house. when it comes to that specific decision, that's something that the secretary of interior is going to make. >> she's always clear as crude oil where do you think the secretary of the interior or joe biden is going to handle this? >> they are going to be proalaska since they really screwed the pooch with the chinese spy balloon that entered into american air space over alaska. we realized what a critical zone that is for our global security in terms of russia and china. and it's so now alaska is like no, let's drill let's make some money because as you know alaska citizens when they do extract energy from their playing fields that goes back to citizens they get a bonus every year so yes, of course, they want it. but more importantly we need it. we need fossil fuels we are not there yet. where and wherever we get there
2:20 pm
that's not now we need to fuel cars and buses and dangerous trains that pete buttigieg can't keep on tracks and only do that by having a fossil fueled present -- >> have you considered a career as a national security analyst you made a couple of really good point that very much impressed me there's a lot of money in it. think about it. >> and money and security and energy that intersection very critical for our evolution -- >> where does that magic electricity come from? fossil fuels coal and natural gas? and they never talk about these things as if electricity is made by the elves. joey jennifer she's doing hard work of the american people at the south by southwest festival this weekend. when asked about the administration's climate goals, grand holm offered this gem. >> i think china has done, has been very sensitive, and has actually invested a lot in their solutions to achieve their goals.
2:21 pm
so we're hopeful that, you know, we can all learn from what china is doing but the amount of money that they're investing in clean energy is actually, you know, encouraging. >> encourage that they're choking on air pollution china is number one polluter in the world joey they approved 168 cold plants that's a record for them. why should we follow china's lead on anything? >> you know how much work it takes to undermine how bad president biden messages and to go and do it so eloquently to top it -- >> this week of all weeks month after the balloon escapade everything that is in headlines from any news work is china is a bad actor and big problem our military shifting gears to thin off china and pacific and energy secretary is going to go say man china is doing a great job let's applaud them i think biden is really holding on to idea that we can make nice with china and because he doesn't know that we're ready for anything more and i think this is another little layer of it. this less about energy, more
2:22 pm
about the diplomacy he doesn't know how to do it an sew so back to this, biden's promise this is a man who touts five decades in public office. and he's learning that you can't appease your most radical supporters in also take care of your constituents like americans. he's painted himself in a corner with energy promising the world that he can't give when you look at alaska and what this is. this is a project on government land he can't not approve it. if he veto it is the politics are terrible. this passed unanimously in the house and passed unanimous consent in the senate so send that back to congress, would be -- i'm sorry talking about something different for a second i apologize. but -- >> there's a lot of bipartisan support absolutely. >> point is i got to a different topic we'll get to in a minute so my point on this is you can't tell the public energy sector all you need to do is produce more. while you've slow walked permits
2:23 pm
for two years you can't tell them it is your fault you want to make more money -- when they showing that they can't produce more and then you stop them from producing you can't do that. >> they won't give permits for refineries like we have goods we need to refine the energy that we've got. they won't allow that and she is talking about china -- and energy, they use slave labor to make solar panels. >> and they're buildings are choking in air pollution did you see beijing this week that dust cloud over the city -- all polluted air. these people the pollution in china is off the charts. why would she ever point to our biggest enemy. threat and there it is look at -- beautiful beijing oh the sunset through the smog. lovely. we've got to move on coming up next on the big saturday show, we're all about to lose an hour of sleep tonight because of daylight savings time and people are ticked they won't get their z's is it time to do away with daylight savings? that's next.

2:28 pm
that song is its own brand welcome back to big saturday show tonight most of us will lose an hour of sleep because daylight savings time will go into effect and for years people getting rid of this daylight savings practice entirely not only does it cost us our precious sleep but hits the economy and could contradict to deadly crashes will congress ever end daylight savings time raymond this debate is twofold. one of them is the people who don't want to change time anymore. other one are people who keep up this and say do standard or daylight savings time what's your take on it? raymond: people can't which time
2:29 pm
zone they would like to be and setting back and forward the clock i've missed more masses on sunday mornings due to this stupid daylight savings time because you move it an hour behind and hour late it is a nightmare. this segment helped me because i want to live in arizona and hawaii dongt abide by daylight savings time other thing is, it makes people more irritable when you lose sleep and i've confirmed will smith smacked hell out of chris rock after daylight savings time last year so we have a cultural marker where this is never a good idea and 62% in polls say they want -- to get rid of the clock change back and forth. that makes sense. i'm glad marco rubio is bringing forth the bill they should get rid of it. >> i had to do a deep dive most say to heck with daylight savings time but they want to stay on daylight savings time year round and so you know we started this i think for farmers back in the day but like you said in the commercial break
2:30 pm
technology kind of takes over and fixes this for us. is it really worth changing our clocks twice a year? >> i also fear not to bum everybody out but like we're wasting our time talking about it because this is a issue that congress likes to threaten to regulate, you know, they hold hearings, they commission studies that takes 17 years and cost billions of dollars. they drag people up to capitol hill to testify. they propose draft legislation, and then they literally never do anything. so i don't have any stheans this is actually ever going to we've had the same conversation for three years this is in washington -- >> this is taking it away from congress to tell us when to turn our clock back and kennedy allowing us to look to the sun that god or universe provided and internal clock that's already in us doctors are saying that this is literally causing people to have wrecks because it is causing them to stay up later in the day than sthield. >> yes and they're half are like
2:31 pm
monday waking up an hour earlier than they should and your rhythm is completely off. and it is hard to get back on track when you don't have luxury of sleeping in for an entire week. you know you have a 19 month old -- this really -- >> it is so hard -- >> pivot to that because i don't know what i'm going to do. >> it is garbage so hard especially on young children, and we are passed this. we're holding on to this for world war i sentimentality watch quiet on the western front if that's what you need but my god give me my hour of time back they say well the fire department likes it because they can remind people to change the batteries in their smoke detectors like okay then tell them thanksgiving and easter. you know -- fix it -- >> you know. >> it is funny that hawaii doesn't i live in hawaii and funny that hawaii doesn't -- >> i knew i didn't like you.
2:32 pm
they culture doesn't respect time at all it is a different more lackadaisical and keep running anyway. i thought maybe the individual liberty person might say do away with clocks. choose your own time. >> i think that's fine i'm a total subjectivist and loosey goosy i may leave right now what an evening i could have. whew. >> as long as you gets hour but lose it tonight i'm afraid kennedy. people we're also on edge you get a burger people are at each other extra sleep give them the hour leave it alone let's -- i think marco rubio's bill is a good one. >> has support in both houses. >> again been saving this for three years. >> should be a movement now. did pass the senate with unanimous consent which means by accident. and the house what's really cool about this argument that i had to go learn i say cool because it is interesting is there are
2:33 pm
certain states that fall at the time zone changes that don't like it because it robs a few minutes from them. anyway i host "fox & friends" tomorrow morning so i'm very much not in favor of the -- >> all right. straight ahead will we ever find out what the government knows about the covid origins? biden may be in a spot where he has to give every answer we're looking for. that's next. we start with sustainably grown cotton from the rich red soul of north alabama, here on our family farm. then we partner with family owned mills from maine to mississippi to manufacture our cotton into quality american made fabrics that become our heirloom inspired bedding, towels, blankets and apparel. experience our 100% american made luxury linens for yourself. go to red line cotton dot com and receive 15% off your order with code fox news.

display approving bill to declassify information surprising considering democrats spent years laughing at anyone who brought up the lab leak theory but despite this newfound unity the president somehow still undecided. >> and that's the president of the united states. really? oh you know what, let's go back and listen again because that was so much fun to watch. [laughter] and there we are. >> sign tbil to declassify the covid intelligence -- >> [inaudible conversations] [laughter] he just went get off my lawn. mr. president that's the press they're not actually on your lawn they're supposed to be there it is their job. >> a gripping moment in television history. so why is there -- if the house is voting for 19-0 that's democrats and republicans last i checked what is the argument for keeping any of this
2:39 pm
classified? >> is there a vaccination against a coverup i just like check that out? i don't know why, what happened to the most transparent administration in history. this is his moment when both parties are saying, unanimously give this intelligence data to us and to american people we need to know where this virus came from and if there was american involvement. and i don't to steal joey's thunder because it nailed it in last segment biden is afraid of what he might find because it will show and demonstrate china was deeply involved and he has no response for china that's the problem. >> but it seems as though we've had different levels of intelligence operating here because you've got the department of energy and the fbi and the cia also saying different things are they reading different intel when they come up with different conclusions about lab leak theory? >> no but there are 17 or 18 intelligence agencies depending on how you, you know --
2:40 pm
carve the chicken. they never -- it is rare not never but rare that they agree on interpretation of the same raw data if you consider the intelligence to be the raw data so as much as i like think that we would get an answer, we're not going to get an answer even if every last document is made public. that's not to say that it shouldn't be declassified i think american people deserve to see that. whether it is conclusive or inconclusive or further tears us apart politically or not i think at the point where you have more than a million americans perished from this terrible virus and you have the fbi director telling bret baier last week that to this very day -- the chinese government is thwarting u.s. efforts to investigate and global efforts to investigate. this is something that is really deserved. it is one of those things where you really need to put the information out there. and then the chips fall where they may but people really deserve the truth. this country suffered terribly for three years. people are still suffering
2:41 pm
because -- >> 103 million americans sickened by covid and one million of them parished. low end estimates from the world health organization who is wrong about everything 7 million. >> and world health organization even they, they underestimate closer to 11. >> they weren't allowed in china to investigate but let's take a look at former director of intelligence john ratcliffe on the reason president biden might not sign a bill revealing the origins of covid. watch. >> reason is he doesn't topght confront china just as he hasn't for the last two years on any issue. no offense, you know whether it is a million americans being killed as a result of a virus or hundreds of thousands being killed as a result of chinese fentanyl. you know, flying spy craft across our country, you know, the biden administration wants china to be a friendly competitor. now this is long overdue i think the president is going to have to sign it because democrats
2:42 pm
have clearly abandoned him. >> you know why they've abandoned him because this is not about democrats who got covid it is not about republican who is got covid it is about americans who were harmed and killed by this virus and americans and every constituent who deserve answers. >> some issues are so obvious in lives of americans no matter what your partisan line is you don't get to pull it. the border is getting close to being that fentanyl is getting close to being that, and covid is absolutely that. americans have all stripes want to know what was this, where did it come from did we have a hand in letting it gets here and what are we going to do to prevent it and simple as those questions are, they are stymied with partisan politics because of the line that each party took in blaming one another and most importantly, americans took and listen to that and blamed each other. i saw on twitter today some guy supposedly a ph.d. in canada dining whole twitter thing about covid.
2:43 pm
and a buddy of mine who is a liberal sent to me said are we not through it yet so americans are still worried not only about not getting the truth. but could they bring that back could they shut my business down again and ruin my life again over this? and politically it is impossible for them to veto this bill. if he sent this bill back to democrats in the house they would be upset because he's done that on the d.c. crime bill to them, and the bill passed in the senate by unanimous consent which means they didn't vote for it nobody octobered and can't veto the bill what is the price of truth? a look at the 9 eleven commission thousands of americans are dying from sickness thousands died that day. thousands died in a war that resulted from it. so that's not the price of truth. hundreds of thousands of americans died from covid, and even more lost their livelihood what is the price of truth? >> yeah unfortunately they're willing to pay it with our kids misery and heart ache could a

2:48 pm
♪ snots welcome back to the big saturday show is it time for a four day workweek a democratic congressman from california is advancing bill to define workweek in federal law as 32 hours. anything more than that would be considered overtime, should this bill pass it would apply to all sectors of the economy including the service and restaurant industry, business leaders are split on the about practicality of the plan. >> biggest issue was the fact that -- hour for hour met decrease in productivity and efficiency quite frankly. asking to take another 20% reduction in just productivity and competitiveness, would either require double staffing which is not practical and pragmatic isn't doable.
2:49 pm
>> kennedy, this point about needing to double staff people to make up for the lost employees potentially in service industry. does this work? at this moment in our history when you know so many restaurants can't get people to work. kennedy: it is interesting first of all it doesn't work second of all we have a very strange labor market right now. we don't have very high labor force participation but we have very low unemployment. and those two things are actually quite confusing but to you ask small business owners and they should be consulted here. they're having an almost impossible time even to this day. with looming recession, they're still having a hard time staffing especially in the service industry, they would have to pay twice as much. that means they either have to raise prices, go to automation or go out of business those are three bad choices. >> now there's this study that boston college and cambridge did joey it showed that companies that tried this four-day workweek plan planned to stwik it.

something of 18 of the 17 krpghts that took part said we're beginning to continue this now i don't know how practical this is in reality. and here's my question is this a covid holdover? is this an answer to all of those who say, i'm quiet quitting. maybe they should quit outloud. >> certainly it could be. here's where the principle of something and practicality of it kind of starting to conflict so principle of this is companies should have the ability to set the hours that work best for their employees based on task they have at hand. if there are a lot of jobs that you go in and you've got a weeks worth of work to do and do it at your pace and get done if you're more productive in a 32-hour week why not get paid for 40 hours of work when 40 hours of work last month in five day week was not as productive i know a lot of people who work to make friday i'll sit around the office day. but when you're talking about services someone that's a completely different industry. >> i'll give you last shot of this people who took part in the four day study they say they're less stressed.

[laughter] this is disgusting and supergross for a number of reasons. number one people who come out of weddings are sweaty because they've been in a church probably if it is a catholic

politicians this week. >> besides marching and protesting, what else do you suggest? >> well, doesn't happen overnight. raymond: she was joking and missed the irony this would be like a fat man defending obesity by urging people overeat you've already done that killing was never a solution whatever you call it it is neither activism nor progress. and i want to tell everybody there's a segway i have a new book coming out unexpected light of thomas it hits march 21 as great story of how a child out of a school became world greatest investor. >> you almost make that work. as long as a vietnam veteran at work. the marine core is eliminating scouts sniper program and i'll take this one real personal i'm not a ?iener but e serve with them. school itself is being disbandinged because marine corps. is doing a lot of changes that every living four star retired marine general doesn't agree with coming out of marine corps. is making these decisions
2:59 pm
put that aside, this is a culture problem you don't take away a school that marines strive to go to and learn from. >> all right. i'm up next my flop is this frontier airlines is giving their employees a $10 bonus every time they charge passengers oversized baggage fee when they check in even if their bag is not too big. frontier employee confirm bonuses after an angry flyer took to social media and complained about charges. frontier says extra cash is going to be used as incentive to help ensure compliance with the airline's policies. frontier charges anywhere from $50 to 100 for oversized bags this on top of oversized ticket and sort of piecemeal way in which you pay for everything when you fly on a airline there you go. could not be worse it reminds me of cops and certain neighborhoods. that are incentivized with year end bonuses for giving parking tickets when there's no crimes rather than reallocating
