études trail for for illegal immigrant accused of murdering george a nursing student, lake and trial set to resume. orders are tom homan blessed the biden administration over her murder. >> if president trump was president and in the united states and got arrested in a crime before committed murder, he would never have been in this administration but turned over to ice. >> carley: a criminal defense attorney and joins us now, good morning to you. they are cameras in the courtroom and we are seeing the emotion on blake rate laken riley space and then fight for 18 grueling minutes. as a parent, i don't know if there are worms to make words to describe that reality after learning that detail, that is the emotional side but legally where do you expect this case to go? >> i think this case is going to go to a conviction sooner rather

than later. they mounted the evidence in this case presented by the prosecution during her very eloquent opening statement paints a picture of no one other than mr. jose ibarra responsible for the crime. we have dna evidence, gps location and putting jose a buyer at a significant time. we have 911 tape which shows a struggle and you can hear rustling and you can hear the repeated batteries and booming sounds of a rock against the skull which is horrific and only a mother or father could understand. this is a type of crime anyone could relate to. they were is very limited light at the end of the tunnel for mr. jose a lot high bharat. and because they waive jury, you don't have a lot of complications with the jury's

understanding of the first-degree murder charges in this case as we know lead to a judge. they will be a quick conviction in this case. >> carley: we are showing pictures of laken riley's mom and she has to go through this again today and the days to come until this is over. it is so growing. if he is found guilty, he faces life in prison here to the death penalty was taken off of the table, but the progressive va of athens county was just voted out of office overwhelmingly and lost 75% of the vote to the republican candidate. iis it possible for the death penalty to be put back onto face that in the future? >> practically, some might want to see that. that is probably the right result. legally, however, it is unlikely. the reason for that is in the criminal defense and justice field, we have noticed notice

has to be provided to the defendant if an individual is susceptible to the death penalty. there could be strategic differences and the presentation of the defense case to the fact finder in this case, the judge. it is unlikely that whatever change and statutorily, that would be reversible. >> carley: there is another high-profile case right now in new york, danny penny trial in new york examiner testified friday and will testify again today but on friday, jordan neely had drugs in his system but t chuck to choke hold was a cause of his death. we found in the blood cannibal annoyed a new drug in the scheme of drugs and i base my decision on the autopsy findings with the video and i did not wait for toxicology because no toxicology report would change my opinion. he could have come back with fentanyl to kill an elephant and walked onto the train and put in a choke hold and that is how he

died. break that down to us is that good news for daniel penny or bad news? ultimately, where will this case land? >> we have forensic evidence from who will determine the cause of death we look at that and split hairs to see what the actual conclusion is that what it is actually based on. in this case, the conclusion gives fodder or cross-examination material for mr. pinney in this case. one cannot argue legitimately with the state of the science in today's world that unknown or intoxicating amount of fentanyl could not have changed expert witness decision. we have in this case evidence from other recipient witnesses, paramedics saying conclusively the viable pulse at the time they arrived at the scene and after mr. penny released his

polls. it is quite concerning an good for the defense with cross examination fodder and good for the prosecution because that is they are witness, penny was so call us and that because of the death. highly inflammatory and basis using videotape proliferated to the public as a basis of that opinion. >> carley: thank you for joining us this morning. >> it is my pleasure. >> pennsylvania, to recount pennsylvania senate cs bob casey refuses to concede the race to senator invest as mike lee says if bob casey doesn't concede, pennsylvania keeps counting legal votes and claim victory in the senate could refuse to seat him. mark harris is mccormick campaigns lead strategist and he joins me now. mark, good morning to you. i want to get to senator lee's comments but this recount is

happening. are there any concerns when it comes to the outcome of the account from the mccormick camp? >> look. we are concerned about what some of the counties are engaging in, which is clearly an effort to help bob casey. there is bucks county, montgomery county involved in unlawful counts of unlawful ballots. we are concerned about that aspect but ultimately we are at the hands of thousands of votes and dave mccormick is in the lead and we are going to win. quite frankly, it is quite unconscionable of these counties are engaging in this behavior. we have been very clear about holding them accountable. our legal teams, rnc, we will hold the counties accountable for their actions because these election officials need to follow that allow. the supreme court in pennsylvania, which by the way, controlled by democrats have laid out what the law is. we are asking the counties to follow it and unfortunately two

or more counties have decided that they will not do that. so we will fight to hold them accountable every day. >> carley: what you are referring to some democrat officials admitted to counting ballots the pennsylvania supreme court said should not be counted because they are lacking dates or signatures. here is one quote that really stands out. take a listen to this the bucks county commissioner what she plans to do with this recount effort. watch this. >> think we all know president by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country. people violate laws anytime they want. for me, if i violate this law, i want a court to pay attention to it. >> carley: first of all, we want to get your election to admitting that she could break the law by curing these boats. a more technical question, when it comes to the recount efforts will these ballots at the pennsylvania supreme court shouldn't be counted, with a

ultimately count in the final totals in the recall? >> yeah, that is a great question and one, as she said clear violation of the law and admits it on camera. there has been accountable repercussions for this. we are in court and expect to hear. ultimately these ballots will not count. we have full confidence that court system will intervene and stop these tallies that have clearly gone rogue. you have 62, 63 cam is doing the right way and a handful counties controlled by the democrats doing the wrong way that ultimately that is white dave mccormick will win and we have a big enough lead that ultimately these will not matter but we will hold them accountable make sure dave mccormick who is rightfully elected senator from pennsylvania gets to the u.s. senate. speech at the party of election integrity is not practicing what they preach. 's will cost taxpayers make payers in a million dollars but thank you for joining us.

>> thank you. >> carley: you are very welcome. president-elect trump calling for pollster and tells her to be investigated over a poll showing harris winning by 3%. trump won by 13 points and trump took to truth's social a totally fake poll that cause great distress to an and uncertainty at a critical time. she knew exactly what she was doing. thank you to the great people of iowa a record-breaking vote despite fraud by ann seltzer and discredited newspaper for which she works. an investigation is fully called for. joe concha fox news contributor, joins me now. a big factor in this is and seltzer that she is quitting and ending her polling operation and said i will continue to be puzzled by the greatest myths of my career. she is calling it an error. donald trump is saying this

could be intentional and calling for an investigation. what do you think about all of this? >> wow, social impact, good to see you, carley. went back poll came out i went back on the air and said i can't wait to come back and celebrate ann selzer's hitting retirement because we all know that kamala harris was not number 3 in iowa 2016-2017 and she was only up by 16-point since he won by 13. what tipped it up for me is ann selzer would not release her samples as far as exactly did she poll for this? did she talk to msnbc or planned parenthood advocates, she would never say. the fact she went on msnbc afterwards to brag about this poll tells me she was not on te up and help. into trump's point, yeah, it made no sense and outlier to all

outliers and she was the gold standard and this poll out of nowhere that no pollsters and how many did we talk about leading up to the election? dozens? have sign in your retirement, ann selzer, you and chris wallace could have a podcast together. >> carley: let's talk about harris campaign finance. sac filing says oprah town hall $1 million which is a lot of money. two sources told "new york times" a cots $2.5 million. over the weekend, the harris campaign stop paying senior staffers even though they were told they would be paid to the end of the year. what do you think about all of this and what is your big take away when it comes to this money and how could it impact the dnc from 2026? >> wow, great questions, carley. the macro level could you imagine kamala harris and her team and many campaign people would have worked under the

administration how they would govern this country if they can't even budget an interview with oprah? by the way, why is oprah or her company being paid for this interview? how is that journalism exactly? if you were asked to do a favor by kamala harris and apparently supportive like oprah and told we need to stop hitler and his garnered supporters, wouldn't you did that for free because oprah winfrey is worth $1 billion. you would assume she would say, this one is on me, affect millions of dollars not just paid to oprah but beyonce, eminem, liz oh and go down the list many to choose from to make her rallies look bigger, that will be entire chapter of my next book because it shows how phony manufactured, carley, this campaign was all along. >> the tribune said oprah's hometown paper said oprah should have turned into a campaign

donation. let's talk about this because the big news at the moment our donald trump's nominees. democrats unleashing serious criticism over them. here is markwayne mullin on all of this. watch this. >> i do have a question for you here to the democrats spending so much time talking about scrutiny of donald trump's pick. yet, we spent this amount criticizing biden's pick? i don't see the same people giving scrutiny. >> he points out pete buttigieg, was he qualified to head the department of transportation? he points to rachel levine and sam, nonbinary official under joe biden. he also have john fetterman saying, everybody calm down. democrats need to relax because donald trump has not even entered office yet. the reaction from democrats is wide-ranging. what are your thoughts on that? >> it is over-the-top and overplaying their hand as usual.

i will leave it here, carley, because i know we need to go. pete had secretary of defense we know p.a. war veteran, decorated more than 20 years of military service get the same people cheering on liz cheney and hoping she would be a part of kamala harris administration, i assume secretary of defense. boy, that is hypocritical, is in it? hyperbole never wins. democrats as usual screaming at the mountain tops and let's just go through the confirmation hearings and see how that goes before we start declaring these people are unqualified to. >> carley: everybody can be outraged in january. but as john fetterman said, let's take a deep breath. have a great day. check this out president-elect trump madison square garden usc and elon mass elon musk, just to name a few and the crew. surprisingly they enjoyed

baot comes in with his 18 mexicans and basically fled newport beach in the same thing happen in april. you had another boat with 20 mexican nationals and scatter into the town. what he is talking about is a fact these are sanctuary cities, i.c.e. cannot connect with local authorities. there is no -- there is no communication and no protocols because of sanctuary cities and so that is the issue. but when i say california is done, i mean gone. let's talk about what happened the election in california. they ousted first liberal mayors and p.a. os. the san francisco mayor shown the door and levi strauss era will be the new mayor of san francisco says i will clean up the city. the oakland mayor voted out 62%

hit and sucker punch because new yorkers, sound familiar? if you are sitting in office right now and you are still pushing progressive values, progressive ideology, let all the criminals run around, you are going to be out of a job. that is california, the message with prop 36 that passed, what is about smart drugs and trafficking. >> wise words from cheryl you will be voted out if you keep going the way you are going. the fox business network 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. thank you very much. california to chicago, watch this. >> we paid for these properties for a purpose and not for you to go touching it with the hundred million dollars that you want to siphon out of the citizens pocket. get rid of that, illegals, and take your money back. >> if you are a criminal, i have to address you and the doj has

government is run in the city. to answer that question the best way about nine months ago, we try to put referendum on the recent ballot asking chicagoans if they want to remain a sanctuary city. the mayor at the administration did everything they could to keep that off at the ballot because they did not want to know what we already knew coach at residents of chicago are fedp with illegal immigrants in chic. we told them to send them expending would bite them in the and sure enough it did. they were asking for well over $350 million just to cover the cost of the migrants. we knew this was coming and they didn't want to believe us and it is great to see the residents tell the mayor and person. >> carley: ultimately is what you said is they were not able to vote whether chicago should proceed to be a sanctuary city. how did that go over with the residents when they learned that they were not going to be able to vote on it questioning. >> they were furious, this was a

bill that went on for months. they were showing up to the committee meetings and council meetings saying they want this to be on the referendum so they could vote. we need the numbers high 60s, high 70s, residence that said do not want to be contrary city and dumping into illegal immigrants but the city and the mayor did everything they did to keep it off the ballot so they are furious. they have every reason to be angry right now. >> the resident said that tax hike with cost of illegal immigrants in the city. is that true? also, would chicago be in a budget crisis if not for the migrants to be housed, sheltered, and fed in chicago? >> it did take a big effect on the budget. there is a large deficit and the deaths that goes beyond of funds last year towards pet projects. that is why we got city council to vote right away against tax increase and telling the mayor to go back and trimmed the fat

on the positions. they have high-paying positions by democrats in the chicago vero crack to lower the tax burden. there is some major issues to go past the migrants but there are ways to fix this without taxing the citizens and i'm told there is a no on the property tax hike. we went from 14 older men and 50 when it came to vote time. >> carley: today, the police officer henrique martinez laid to rest after shot and killed earlier this month during a traffic stop. chicago mayor brandon johnson originally said he would attend the funeral but the family asked him not to attend so he is agreeing to their wishes and will not be there. there is also this fact chicago police superintendent larry testified on friday 2020, 350 officer shot leaving 38 injured or killed. what is your reaction to the funeral of this beloved officer

today and that fact 300 officers have been shot since 2020? >> you know, we will put the rest of a hero and unfortunately this is happening time after time in the city. at the city is out of control with prime we were told to put criminals away and keep them away and they refused to do it. this is the end result. we have guns on the street alarming rate and officer shot at alarming rate. it is hard to believe police officer and chicago and first responder because you are not backed by the administration a lot of the times. that is why they were asked to not come to the funeral. >> carley: you can understand that. let's think about officer martinez family as they lay him to rest. thank you for joining us. have a great day. >> think you'd for having me. >> carley: peter doocy on "fox & friends," hello.

coming on fox talking how parents were put in the back seat when it comes to their kids education need to put them in the driver's seat. president trump believes that, too. ultimately i believe the department of education should be shut down, absolutely. since it was created, we have only seen plummeting achievement scores. teachers unions having more influence in our kids' education and more global interference in our kids' education. no coincidence the fact that kids in kenya are learning the same type of expensive hex he haddization curriculum in new jersey. we absolutely need to stop the waste at the federal department of education and put parents, again, back in the driver's seat. local control is the most important thing, carley, when it comes to education. >> carley: that's so interesting. it's not impossible that trump's political path to abolishing the department of education is narrow and many believe it would take 60 votes out of the senate which might not happen. probably would not. so, if that doesn't happen, how do you think donald trump can improve the department, if it

stands? >> president trump has been very clear about the fact that he wants to get rid of dei. abolish critical race theory. stop the transgender insanity in our schools. we want to get back to common sense governance in the united states of america. we want more school choice parents at the fundamental right to direct the education of their children. they should have transparency into what their children are learning in school and ultimately have the choice to where their child is educated. so, president trump is a really smart guy. he has made amazing picks so far in his cabinet. i have no doubt he will find many ways to accomplish the things that he has promised the american people he will do. >> carley: the stats, nircht in reading, 34th in math and 16th in science out of 81 countries. the number one super power in the world which means that we should have the best education system out of all the countries, and that's not happening. why is that and also, how do you fix that? for parents out there watching

saying i just wants my child to get a good education and learn how to read. learn how to do math and science my and my school is failing. what would you tell them? >> parent involvement is the number one driver of student success. nothing the government can do can replace an active and involved parent in their children' lives. you are right only a third of kids are reading on grade level in america's public schools. 80% of the kids coming to the system are relatively illiterate. it's a crime not to teach children how to read. bang to the basics if we did nothing else in our elementary schools in america teaching children how to read. >> carley: you said you wanted the department of education abolished. but, if that doesn't happen, and you are asked to be the secretary of it, would you say yes? >> yes, i think president trump has a mandate from the american people to shrink the size of the federal government and to put the american people first. so i know he stands for parental rights and i would do anything i

could to help him defend our parental rights at every level of government. >> carley: tiffany justice, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> carley: new york city bakery selling out two days straight after "the view" whoopi goldberg accused them of refusing to serve her because of heir political view. >> the place that made these refused to make them for me. [gasps. >> it can't be because i'm a woman. perhaps they didn't like my politics. >> carley: the bakery denied of serving her politics insists it was because of boiler issues. that's that.
