hi, i'm jill and i've lost 56 pounds on golo. hi, i'm barry and i've lost 42 pounds. jill and i are a team. if she tells me to do something, i usually jump on board. golo was doable, it's realistic, and it's something we can do the rest of our lives. >> you're looking live at austin, texas where the senate senate cam, they're ending deliberations and expecting to come to a final decision on attorney general ken paxton's impeachment trial moments from now. they've deliberated over 16 articles of impeachment on friday and coming to a decision whether he abused the attorney general's office to aid a campaign donor answer real estate investor. paxton denied the charges and denounced it as a quote, sham.

's currently in his third term in office. we'll bring you the latest on the story as we get them. 13,000 workers walking off the job in a historic strike against the big three automakers. negotiations between the unions and the car makers have restarted, but the unprecedented act is also triggering fears of widespread economic damage. michigan congresswoman debbie dingell is standing by to weigh in on the walkout in her state and latest, the house impeachment inquiry into president biden. welcome to fox news live i'm griff jenkins, hello, molly. molly: i'm molly line. and we have the latest on the strike and let's go to lucas tomlinson where the president

is spending his weekend. >> before coming here to wilmington, president biden made a statement at the white house and the roosevelt room saying that he's with those uaw workers striking, not the auto bosses at the auto companies. >> auto companies have seen record profits, including the last few years because of the extraordinary skill and sacrifices the uaw workers. those record profits have not been shared fairly. >> president biden ignored a shouted question from a reporter asking if he would pardon his son. it's been a tough week for the president. first there was that awkward press conference in vietnam on sunday, and then biden falsely claim he went to ground zero the day after 9/11 and then house speaker mccarthy launched that impeachment inquiry and inflation started to rise, as viewers know who go to the grocery store or gas station, and david ignatius who normally

writes about this administration, says that biden should not run in 2024 and neither should kamala harris. and the first time in history, the president's son was indicted. and reacting to the gun charges. >> the u.s. attorney's office knew about it and no charges. and when they made a deal, a diverted agreement. what changed? not the facts, not the law, but the politics that have now come into play. >> hunter biden's expected to make his next court appearance here in wilmington in about a week. molly. molly: something to watch. the next thing to watch, lucas tomlinson, thank you. >> molly, we're watching the united auto workers and big three auto workers are headed back to the table after the union went on a strike against ford, general motors and stellantis. they're looking for significantly higher wages and pensions for employees. grady trimble is on the ground

in wayne, michigan. he's following it, doing a great job. what's the latest? >> the latest is that the uaw president says he's back at the bargaining table with the detroit three automakers today and the picketers are back outside of this factory in wayne, michigan for the second day in a row. president biden as you heard in lucas' report, voiced support for the automakers sharing some of their record profits with these workers, you would think that that's a message that resonates with workers, some of those we have spoken to are not pleased with president biden. the uaw president, when i asked him if he's going to let the biden administration negotiators sent to detroit to helped out into the building, he kind of brushed aside that they'll be here and wouldn't commit to letting them participate in the negotiations. but some other democratic lawmakers have been welcomed with open arms, including

senator bernie sanders, who is at a uaw rally yesterday. and michigan senator gary peters is across the street at that local union hall right now, with senator john fedorman, who drove all the way from festival to walk with the picketers. he was in his ford bronco, by the way, made at the factory these workers work at. take a listen to john fedderman. >> do you think it's protective for the president to send members of his administration to negotiate when the uaw seemed to indicate they don't want to help. >> you know, president biden is the best labor president in recent time and you know, i'm happy to stand with him, but i'm ready to be here with the senator here. >> not all the workers support president biden. they're worried about inflation and the transition to electric vehicles. >> you know, he supports them and i'm-- and i'm here-- i'm here to support it and the people here to support it, too.

>> from the automakers' point of view, they feel like they've put forward historically generous proposals in their words. ford and general motors in their latest offers, included a 20% increase in pay over the four years of the congress. stellantis just this morning said that they offered a 21% pay bump in the four years of this contract, but the uaw president has said the offers so far are not enough and they will strike for as long as they need to. we mentioned that they're not striking everywhere just yet. they're at this one ford plant in michigan, a gm plant in missouri, and a stellantis plant in ohio, but the uaw has threatened to expand the scope of this strike depending how negotiations are going. if that happens, it could have a huge impact on michigan's economy. griff. griff: oh, boy, here we go. grady trimble in the middle of all of it. thank you.

molly. molly: really kind of laying out what's happening on the ground. for more on where the strike and in her very own state. democratic michigan congresswoman debbie dingell joining us now. she's a member of the house energy and commerce committee. congresswoman, thank you for giving us a little bit of your time. you have been out there talking with some of these laborers that are out-- that are out striking and listening to them. what are they telling you? how dug in are there? >> so, molly, by the way, this strike isn't something that i'm just showing up all of a sudden. i'm in a union hall every weekend. i have been working with the uaw for months, and it's very clear what they want. in 2008, 2009 when this industry was in trouble they gave up their cost of living adjustment. they want to get their cost of living adjustment back. right now, in real terms, they are making 10% less than what they were making in 2008 and 2009. if you are working on an assembly line, you can have three people doing the same

thing, and they're each in there at a different tier. you can be a temporary employee for eight to 10 years and they're looking for job security. so that's what they're talking about and that's what they want. now, i want to say something, people have got to be very careful with words. whether someone's at the negotiating table is very different than whether someone's around talking to people or offering visor giving ideas. no government official, like me, a cabinet official, president of the united states, should be at the bargaining table. that is between companies and workers. molly: yet the administration policies are having an impact here. one of the big challenges that seems to be something that's a big discussion is the push towards electric vehicles. this administration wants the green energy, but yet, they also claim to be, you know, the big backers of the unions and some reporting that the two are really hard to blend together.

there's a new opinion piece in bloomberg that ev's require about 30% fewer labor hours per unit writing, if biden's ev vision is to be realized detroit will need fewer workers with less generation compensation packages precisely opposite of what the uaw would like. what do you make of that. >> i'm going to be-- anybody who has listened to me, i do it every single day, we are at the crossroad, these are not talking points, this is where the rubber meets the road. it isn't either/or. we can address climate change or take care of the workers, we can do there, but we have to make sure that the foundation are there. there are issues that are not even part of these contract negotiations because batteries are being made in joint venture agreements where-- which are not part of these

negotiations. the automakers want to be known for ice, combustion engine at what a battery are at. and this is where they have to be at. molly: massive subsidies, as far as green energy are concerned they want a piece of that. it can't be ignored, michigan is a battle ground state, it was in 2016, trump the first republican to win since 1988, 2020, biden gets the state back by a small margin and union households make up about fifth of the voters here. how much is the election year at play here, the negotiators know it, the president knows it, what does it mean? >> so, i'm going to split this into two different ways. i'm the one that predicted dup would win michigan and nobody believed me. he's playing to this, michigan is a competitive state, it's not a done deal who is going to win it next year.

this negotiations should not be about presidential politics, it's about the workers, their lives, their jobs, the future of the auto industry, how we're going to keep a competitive and build the electric vehicles here and not in china and i'm doing my best to keep presidential politics out of this, but i don't think it going to be successful, but i think that these negotiations need to not be a part of that and tell you that michigan is one of the ground zeros for next year. molly: congresswoman dingell, thank you for your insights. this is something the whole country is watching and there's room for this strike to ramp up further. we appreciate your thoughts today. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. griff: in a new poll you see here revealing voters are divided over whether or not house speaker kevin mccarthy's impeachment inquiry is real or bogus harriet hagman joins us

now, part of the houses natural resources committee and thank you for being here, congresswoman. where do you come down? the impeachment inquiry has launched and do you support it or why? >> absolutely, the american people are entitled to know what extent our foreign policy is dictated by the decisions and activities by hunter biden in places like china, working for the communist china party and same for ukraine. we have to get to the bottom, to what extent has the biden administration compromised the department of justice and irs as they've attempt today cover up the fact that hunter biden is a tax cheats, failed to p taxes on millions of dollars that he earned from malign country, and actual enemies of the united states of america. we need to have the-- we need to get to the information that shows the extent to which hunter biden was the bagman for joe biden when he was vice-president and also, since he has become president, to what extent he

has been compromised because of hunter biden's activities. so this is absolutely a legitimate exercise for the judiciary committee, as well as oversight in ways and means. this is about transparency, this is about good governance and it's about accountability so we need to get to the bottom of it. griff: in your mind, it was written there was sufficient evidence for an inquiry, not for actual impeachment, but inquiry. you believe that there's sufficient evidence for the inquiry going forward? >> absolutely, it's been exposed by the ways and means and judiciary and oversight committee. the amount of information coming out with the whistleblowers, from the devin archer interview and deposition, the fact is joe biden was involved in hunter biden's activities in foreign countries. we have the burisma situation, hunter biden was paid to be on the board. what are the skill sets that

hunter biden had to sell to burisma, an expert on that? absolutely, his dad admitted he withheld a billion dollars until they fired the prosecutor investigating burisma at the time that hunter biden was on the board. i don't know how it becomes any more clear that the policy was actually implemented based upon hunter biden's foreign activities. griff: do you believe that ultimately there are sufficient votes? does speaker mccarthy have the votes to move forward with something like this? you saw our poll, it's split pretty much down the middle. >> well, that's because i would say much of the mainstream media has done everything in their power to hide what is actually been going on with hunter biden, just like in october of 2020 trying to cover up what was on the laptop. griff: the white house, you saw

the spokesman, putting out a memo to the media saying it's time to ramp up your scrutiny on house republicans. >> on house republicans, again, trying to deflect what hunter biden, joe biden, and other family members were doing. we have over 20 shell companies from the biden family, one bucket to another bucket, 20 million from foreign governments paid to the biden family. most much them were not working for burisma, but hunter biden does at the time his father was vice-president. since he's been president, the doj has been compromised when it comes to hunter biden. griff: 20 seconds left. are we headed to a government shutdown in two weeks and will conservatives like those in house freedom caucus, i know you're not a part of it, but your conservative members, are

they going to hold out and stick their flag in the ground on a border bill attached to a cr. >> the fact is i think a border bill should be attached to the cr. the american people should see what they're doing. are we going to fund the government or secure the border. we have to be able to secure that border. everybody recognizes the catastrophe that's been created by mayorkas and the biden administration on their open border policies. we have to secure the border. hr-2 is an incredible bill. >> it's the best border security bill passed by the house of representatives. we need to couple that with a cr. we need to demonstrate to the people that the republicans in congress want to fund the government, we're willing to fund the government, but at the same time we have to have border security. griff: we'll see where it goes. congresswoman harriet hageman, appreciate you being here on a saturday. appreciate your time. >> thank you. griff: all right. molly: post-tropical cyclone

lee is battling the coast line with winds, rain and potential flooding as it turns towards canada. we have team coverage with adam klotz in the weather center, but live from the coastal town of chatham, massachusetts. back to you. >> hi, molly, we've had rains, but it's mostly wind that people are dealing with in new england. at times gusts past 60 miles per hour on the cape. some people are dealing with the aftermath of those winds. they've caused some outages, taken down some trees like this one. it fell on a couple of parked cars in the family's driveway. no one was hurt. boaters had a sleepiness night, hoping some of the extra ties were enough to keep their boats from breaking free with the strong winds. andy is a scalloper here in chatham and feeling that his boat weathered the storm so far. >> hard to get some sleep, didn't get any sleep. >> really? >> yeah, wind is snappy, when

it's snappy like that, the gear breaks, you've got to be up for that or wise you run into the rock wall there and your boat turns to powder. >> the storm conditions will fully move out of the region by tomorrow, but we're not out of the woods yet. we're approaching high tide here and there's a possibility that we could experience some coastal flooding. molly. molly: all right, katie braving the winds for us, we appreciate it, griff. griff: for more on now lee could be affecting the weather this weekend. adam klotz is here with the latest. >> hey, griff. lee spins off the coast and probably going to make landfall in atlantic canada anytime now, winds at 75 miles per hour. it's cruising moving at 22 miles per hour. that's helpful. a large wind field though. i showed you where the center of the storm was. you don't have to be near there to experiencing impacts. the winds are strongest on the eastern side of the storms and

we had the gusts at sea, 50's, 60's, we've seen gusts into thele 80's already. and the wind gusts are lighter recently, 43 in bangor, maine. a lot of spots in the 30's and 40's and enough to take down branches and certainly take down power. a storm like this, even though you're on kind of the kinder side of the storm, if you will, across portions of maine. it's going to pick up a whole lot of water and drag that up to the coast. and it's a coastal issue and where it ultimately heads through portions of canada there. i do want to leave you with this, griff. because the storm is up to the north, the beaches are dangerous up and down the east coast. this has been churning up the sea for days and days now, and folks need to be careful about that. griff: all right. adam klotz in the weather center. thank you very much. and you can get updates on this evolving story and scan the qr code on the screen and download the app. to get free access to live coverage, you're going to want

that. molly. molly: all right. take a look at this, the texas senate now in the process of voting on the texas attorney, some 16 articles of impeachment. it might be a little bit after long process for the texas senate. the texas attorney general's historic impeachment trial. expected to come to a final deliberation shortly on whether paxton abused the attorney general's office, a two-thirds majority is required to convict him on any of these 16 articles of impeachment. we've been hearing a lot of nos so far. we'll keep an eye on this and bring you updates on the story as we get it. we're watching this one. griff: yeah, it's very interesting to watch as you look live in austin at the texas senate. only twice before in the senate's history of texas senators have been asked to consider expelling an elected official from office. let's listen in just a little bit here at lt. governor dan patrick, if he's going to speak to us. take a listen. >> members, you will now vote

on article two, disregard of official duty abuse of the opinion process, while holding office as attorney general, warren kenneth paxton misused his official power to issue written legal opinions under subchapter c, chapter 402 governor code, specifically, paxton caused employees of his office to prepare an opinion in an attempt to avoid the impending foreclosure to nate paul or entities owned by paul. and he solicited the chair by chair committee-- >> we're going to continue to watch this and bring you updates as soon as we get nm on the impeachment trial there, and we'll be right back. stick with us. there's challenges, and i love overcoming challenges. ♪ when better money habits® content first started coming out, it expanded what i could do for special olympics athletes with developmental needs.

>> to the campaign trail. former president donald trump and florida governor ron desantis battle it go out for the evangelical vote on friday. two highest polling presidential hopefuls were in dc and others are in iowa today. hey, alex. >> good to be with you. we have nine g.o.p. candidates in iowa where we'll be in the

faith and freedom, and president trump will be notable exception. he did make a pitch. >> no president has fought for christians as hard as i have and i will keep on fighting for christians as hard as i can for four more years in the white house and we will do things that nobody has ever been able to do. just think of what we already achieved. >> trump holds a growing lead over his g.o.p. opponents according to the latest fox news poll, preferred by 56% of republican primary voters, up seven points from last month. governor ron desantis dropped two points and vivek ramaswamy holding at 11 and both spoke. >> i don't know how you could be a leader without having faith in god. when you stand up for what's right in this day and age, that's not going to be

cost-free. you're going to face blowback. >> today you want to be counter cultural, you want to be a revolutionary, you want to stick it to the man? try calling yourself a faith-based conservative. >> now, some of trump's biggest recent gains have come from women, voters under 45 and from white evangelicals. the third group is the particular one that candidate and former vice-president mike pence feels should rethink their support for trump. >> he promised to govern as a conservative in 2016. what i want voters to know he makes no such promise today. as time goes on more and more people are seeing what donald trump is offering to conservative voters today is different than what he offered in 2016. >> now the latest fox news poll showed that if trump was not in the race, that desantis and ramaswamy would be nearly tied at the top, griff. of course, that's not the case, trump is in the race, 56% by primary voters.

griff: desantis second at 13. and don't miss the second republican primary debate on february 27th hosted by the fox business network's very own dana perino and stuart varney along with ilya calderon. >> and battling it out for the republican nomination, we have ken, a surrogate of florida governor ron desantis and founder of the super pac, never back down, surrogate for nikki haley. alexandria did a fantastic job setting this up for us. and if trump wasn't in the race, desantis and ramaswamy would be. >> i don't think anybody will

outlast desantis, we've built farther into the race than trump, working super tuesday and not just the early states. and desantis has an unmatched conservative record. you voted the vice-president there about talking about how trump has moved away from conservative positions. he's never been a conservative himself. and that record really matters. there's never been a more accomplished chief executive from a conservative standpoint than ron desantis, deep state, and the second amendment, the list goes on. i think that will bear out when you combine it with across the board effort in all the states. molly: whoever wins the g.o.p. nomination, the real goal is for the g.o.p. to defeat the current president running for reelection, biden. when the-- nikki haley comes out ahead of

biden and in the latest polling, desantis does not. >> absolutely, and this is the third head to head match-up that we've seen since the last debate that shows nikki haley handily defeating joe biden in a general election match-up and that's what this race comes down to is electability. while other candidates are either in the courtroom or are dropping in the polls, having to pull back their efforts in other states, nikki haley is seeing crowds, massive crowds in iowa, new hampshire, in south carolina. she is having conversations with everyday folks and we're seeing her numbers rise. and more importantly, we're seeing the fact that she's the only one that can handily take on joe biden in november and that's what this race is all about. molly: ken, back to you on you. can desantis beat biden and also, president trump, you know, despite the challenges that he's facing, he still leads by this wide margin, a growing margin, really. your thoughts on that? >> with respect to the biden

matchups, biden is beating biden as the truth comes out more and more about him and plus, desantis has a revivalist message for america and with respect to nikki haley's points on the board with biden, look, squishy, moderate, establishment neo con republicans actually do well when you throw it to a general election, registered voter type of poll, but they don't stand for much that the republican electorate wants. so, you can-- there are trade-offs here. if you want a presidency that's going to matter you need to stick with ron desantis. a lot of the republicans know that. they have forgotten what nikki haley gave to boeing.

and at a time we need to shrink the government, desantis did shrink big sugar and disney, and now he's going after nikki haley. we're out of time, but i want your final thoughts that trump has got this widely. >> you know, first of all, i'd like to respond to ken for a quick second. if we're talking about someone who has actually made a promise to rein in spending, cut the debt that we have, institute for legislative analysis found that nikki haley was the candidate out of all the candidates on the ballot right now, who is going to keep her promise. that's first of all. second of all, we're talking about raising the debt. ron desantis voted in congress to increase spending. that's number one. number two, if you look at florida's budget. he has-- we've seen florida's budget increase from 89 billion dollars when he stepped foot

into office, to now $119 billion. the fact of the matter is, ron desantis came into the race with very, very high hopes and he has dropped dramatically to the point where he can't even keep up with the rest of the field. so-- >> nearly-- >> both of your candidates have been out there on the ground. new hampshire, iowa, south carolina, of course, nonstop. we appreciate both of your insights and we're up against this break so we have to go to that. thank you both for coming in on a saturday. thank you. and mine's unlisted. try boost® high protein with 20 grams of protein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv you love rich, delicious ice cream. but your stomach doesn't. that disagreement ends right now. lactaid ice cream is the creamy, real ice cream you love that will never mess with your stomach. lactaid ice cream. working with newday,

cuccinelli. >> homeland security officials founding the alarm over the growing number of people on the terror watch list that are being stopped at the border. bill melugin is live in mission, texas with the latest on this. bill to you. >> and the watch list numbers are especially concerning given the fact that sources tell fox news there have been more than

1.5 million gotaways at the southern border since president biden took office. and it's not slowing down. in lucasville, arizona, nonstop there. it's part of the tucson sector saw a staggering 13,000 illegal crossings this week. 13,000 in a single week and they're coming from all over the world in this sector. we've seen a lot of single adult men from africa and india as that sector is over capacity and mass street releases started there. then we'll take you up to eagle pass, texas our drone team witnessing more middle of the day, broad daylight crossings in the river. people forming a human chain as they're trying to get across the river. unfortunately, a 10-year-old boy drown here earlier this week. eagle pass the scene of a lot of drownings here at our southern border. some other video from eagle pass. incredibly irresponsible migrant families crossing illegally and having their

little children crawl under and through razor wire deployed in texas and they crossed during a thunderstorm when the river can swell up. a bigger group showed up and texas dps had to respond and that group had a bunch of little kids with them and they had to cut the wire and let the migrants in for the sate of the children, but irresponsible for the parent to let the kids cross through razor wire to get into the country. and this is a guatemala family randomly dropped off by border patrol at a random dollar tree store. they had no idea where they were. what they were going to do next. part of the street releases going on tuesday the tucson sector overwhelmed and the local sheriff out there is, excuse me, isn't happy about it. take a listen. >> this isn't humane to leave people walking around communities without the basic essentials and funding and not

know where they're at. then you look at the public safety side that's neglected: the federal government is throwing millions of dollars on the immigration side of this. >> and the border patrol union tweeted out that dhs personnel are referring to these mass street releases as quote, freedom runs, and that border patrol agents have been instructed they are to prioritize the processing and release of migrants over actually patrolling and enforcing our border. we'll send it back to you. molly: bill melugin, heartbreaking to see the video of the kids and the razor wire. thank you, consistently for your reporting. griff. griff: great reporting by bill. we have more on this coming up. we'll have the witness from the house hearing on border security. he had a lot to say on that hearing. you'll hear from charles marino in a moment.

border patrol officials processed and largely as we're seeing the release particularly of family units, that appears what it is, they'll wait for the officials to take them into custody. a snapshot in real-time of the crisis that's only worsening. meanwhile, a house judiciary subcommittee held a hearing on thursday to tackle the growing national security threat at our southern border as cvp agents report encountering, a record number of individuals on the terror watch list. joining us now, one of the witnesses that testified at that hearing, sentinel security official, and former secret service superry agent charles marino. charles, thank you for joining us. you just saw the crisis playing out all day, every day now. the numbers surging and bill melugin's report in tucson sector alone this past week, 13,000. the official number of individuals in the fiscal 2023

on c vp's website and 149 individuals hit the terror screening data base more than the last seven years combined if you added it up. what do you make of the situation? >> all of these numbers continue to go in the wrong way across all segments of the migrant population, whether we're talking about unaccompanied minors, family units, young, single, male adults. and those encountered on the terror watch list. this is why the policies of this administration are doing nothing to help the effort of securing our homeland. we're encountering people from over 165 different countries and the vetting is only as good as the systems you vet against. what i mean by that, we either don't share information with adversarial country or the countries that these migrants are originating from don't keep

records and there's nothing for us to bounce our information off of to see how dangerous some of these people may be. griff: that's very troubling. part of your testimony this week really struck me and i want to play it for our viewers and then have you respond. here is what you told congress this week. >> after the u.s. government was criticized for a failure of imagination by the 9/11 commission, our government promised all americans that never again. despite that promise, it's blatantly obvious that the biden administration is suffering from the same failure of emer imagination. griff: dhs was created after 9/11, in the wake of 9/11 to protect from threats, but you see possibly history repeating itself? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, let's look at how closely the mexican cartels are working with china to kill hundreds of thousands of americans, via fentanyl. why is it such a farfetched

idea that the cartels wouldn't work with other adversarial countries or even terrorist groups to infiltrate our country and kill even more americans. look, it directly undercuts the reason why the department of homeland security was created and that they assigned the two essential pillars necessary to secure the homeland. border security and immigration enforcement and the biden administration has completely abandoned their federal responsibilities in those two areas and that's why we see the chaos and the increased threat level against the country, because they have totally stepped away from what is needed to secure the country and our national security. griff: well, and charles. the advice you would be giving dhs now, considering that cvp sources tell bill melugin and myself that there would be more than 1.5 million known

got-aways, individuals seeing detected and not brought into custody because agents could not get to them since president biden took office. it's over 600,000 just this fiscal year. what is the likelihood that someone that poses a threat to this nation could be among that population? >> oh, it's a great possibility. 1.5 million got-aways and then another segment of those that aren't detected in any way, shape or form, you might as well add another 1.5 million to that, conservatively. we're talking about three million people that go through no type of process at all and as far as my messaging to the department of homeland security, it would simply be this. stop putting the politics of the administration over the safety and security of the american public. the president has one important job and one important job only, and that's the safety and security of the homeland and the people that live here. griff: we've got to leave it there, charles marino, great

insight as always, and i hope your prediction that we could have a national security threat on our hands is not true. thanks for taking time, and have a great weekend. >> thank you, griff, you, too. griff: molly. molly: a lot of work underway in texas where the senators are voting on the fate of state attorney general ken paxton where he's facing a possible impeachment. more next. meet the team... behind the team. the coach. the manager. and the snack dad. all using chase to keep up with their finances. the coach helps save goals here,
