ibarra and lay out their case against 26-year-old jose ibarra. >> on monday, the prosecution picks up where they left off and they will finish off witnesses they will need but still have to hear about the cause and manner of death. that is one thing watching for. we haven't seen the medical examiner testify and both sides quite frankly very good in this case and the prosecutor obviously has a lot to work with. the defense attorneys and that position to play a very, bad hand of cards they have been dealt. >> nine people had taken the stand so far after striking opening 8 minutes from both sides and the prosecutor said jose ibarra attempted to rape riley that they she was murdered. but the evidence is not strong enough to link ibarra to the crime. for small athens court room filled with family and friends

most of the day who were visibly shattered. by the time the crime scene investigator took the stand, most of the family left the room. the injuries and the glory crime scene shown in court. and ibarra did not change his calm demeanor through the trial, but did avoid looking at graphic evidence. only the prosecution has called witnesses so far. it is unclear when the defense will call there is but they didn't subpoena both of ibarra's brothers to testify and church with having green cards and in custody. >> reporting live from athens, georgia. we should point out there was a jury selection for this particular trail because mr. ibarra waved a right to a jury trial so he is sitting in judgment with an actual judge. one at the facts that came out on friday was the fact that on her telephone is his thumbprint.

and the defense is going to have to explain if he didn't kill her, headed his thumbprint wind up on her phone and how it her s fingernails? >> ainsley: and vice versa, exactly, she fought him off. that was a check that found in a dumpster like a garbage pail down the street from where he lived or close to where he lived. it was a jacket with his dna and blood in her dna and blood. >> brian: there is no mystery to this case. "what if" question mark no no, we know exactly what happened in exquisite detail but the only thing we are missing is direct video of it so we see what she went through and how far my card she fought for 18 minutes. we see she struggled to get help and we see also when he brought in, scratches on him so we know he is guilty but the randomness of this gilding film that

killing could be any woman at any time and that thing is to bring the brothers in and checking out the background, he came here to kill and disrupt and for those people who think we were covering or anybody else was covering this for an election reason for a partisan reason, we are not letting up on this or the other cases of brutal murder from illegal illel criminals who got across the board to blow up our system and tried to kill. we have seen a lot in new york city. bc the same gang take root in every city. stuff like this has to be used as momentum to oust those people who want sanctuary cities in our country. because athens, new york, chicago, austin, texas, and others those sanctuary cities are your kids in danger. >> some people our business to work at "fox" were calling and

talking to the family and letting them know they are so sorry. dad was talking about how close laken riley and her mom were and talked constantly. when you see the images of the mother covering her face, had a get through something like that? before i know, it will be interesting to see whether or not mr. ibarra takes his stand in his own defense because then he would have a lot of explaining to do. you will all see it live on "fox." >> ainsley: does he not speak english? >> brian: just a face of a killer, accusing you stone-faced? if you are innocent you are not sitting there stone-faced and guilty in any sense of emotion, you couldn't sit there stone-faced. that is the same look and mine site that allows you to kill without innocence. he is guilty. >> ainsley: you can't understand it because you are not capable of raping someone

and bashing their head in with a rock. >> brian: most people aren't in some people have regret. i don't think so. things are going to pick up in about 20 minutes. if things are interesting and not just how they start the day in the courtroom, we will take you inside the lead. in the meantime, and other fox news alert, president biden attending change summit in brazil and look at the beautiful shots. and the president signed off long-range u.s. weapons called attack them. >> ainsley: lucas live from rio de janeiro. >> good morning, ainsley, volodymyr zelenskyy has been thanking biden for years now. it is notable that ms. so as you mention, have been used to attack crimea in the past but restrictions on using them inside of russia no longer.

zelenskyy had been complaining and percent of the weapons congress approved, remember $60 billion package 10% of the weapons has arrived into ukrain. speaking of rifle president biden in rio last night and notable that there is no red carpet rolled out for his arrival the less we are about to see here. china's president j.j. ping afforded that honor by economic summit where china was given the rare honor of a state visit and biden was not. brazil is extending same honor to president xi and not biden. biden will attend on global hunger with reception with world leaders at art museum. vladimir putin is not here. biden has wind off counterstrike to allow ukrainians to use missiles up to 9 miles. and cluster youth munitions but the goal is to hit north korean soldiers with the plate to

russia's template the region and only inside of russia where ukraine lost back in august. ukraine is forbidden, brandy is an american elsewhere. biden decision to use these long-range missile after russia launched an attack on ukraine since the start of the war firing 200 missiles and drones. the drones targeting ukraine's infrastructure where winter has already arrived. yesterday, biden the first sitting president to visit the amazon. >> i am proud to be here. the first sitting u.s. president to visit the amazon rain forest. let's preserve the secret place or our time in forever for the benefit of all humanity. >> after losing 1912 election, roosevelt made a ill-fated trip along the amazon and almost killed him. going back to ukraine, american weapons fired by ukraine to kill

ukrainian soldiers inside russia, guys. >> steve: lucas, a story in bloomberg, north korea has sent 3,000 troops to help russia. bloomberg says there is a possibility they could send up to 100,000. >> that is right, steve. that is the big concern and of course, met with the president south korean president on the ground here in rio. this is concerning for south korean and certainly for the president. it is clear we spoke to deputy national security advisor the deployment of european forces which could be up to 100,000 russia, the game changer and change the white house and president biden's. >> brian: lucas, it has a lot to do with who won the election. he only has two months to put his agenda forward. the attack comes go 190 miles an hour and 375 pounds of explosion in it will be big but we need

the allies to do the same thing and waiting for the go-ahead to lift restrictions. but now the u.k., germany, everybody has to go in there because you put 100,000 men into that fight into a country that lost 700,000. russia lost 700,000 off the battlefield and 250,000 dead and stunning number but they don't care about their people. they are putting the poor, the one without influence and tell them you have to go and they are out of incentive, out of money and paying extraordinary amount of money. if your kids died, you will get money but all of a sudden drying up there. >> ainsley: had the do you know how many are killed? >> you have to figure it is a lot bigger. >> brian: they are estimates that russians don't push back on it. we are at a point where everybody would love a cease-fire for end to it but what kind of leverage do you have planned trump getting in

and talks? right now, if they are taking the land and holding onto a little bit of russian land. two if they can get on the offensive and vladimir put in comes to the table when trump takes over, zelenskyy has a better chance of holding onto more property. >> steve: donald trump donald trump ran on ramping up as fast as he can so i don't think he cares with the biden administration does. day one, he will do stuff is a way. the national security advisor -- >> brian: doing the deal, he wants zelenskyy to have as much leverage as possible because vladimir pitt will be less apt to do a deal if everything is on his side. >> ainsley: they will not talk until after the inauguration? >> steve: i heard both vladimir put me in zelenskyy and ultimatums to both of them. let's wrap this up, which means less fighting. anyway, brian talk to michael waltz, current congressman from the great state of florida. he is the president's pick for

nsa and he had this observation about how russia is escalating, which is not good for anybody. >> it is another up, up the escalation ladder and nobody knows where this is going. north korea is unleashing ballistic missiles, artillery and now tens of thousands of soldiers. the administration responds by lifting this restriction. north korea since more soldiers. south korea is now saying it may get engaged. china is by loyal for iran pennies on the dollar and using that to send missiles and drones to russia. that is then hitting ukrainian infrastructure. this is a development that a technical one. president trump is talking grand strategy here. how do we get both sides to the table to end this war? what is the framework for a deal which mark who is sitting at the table? this is an all-star team, that president trump is assembling

that will think through the broader strategic issues and how do we drive this to an end to map the president promised on the campaign trail. >> brian: there will be a lot of effect because denying iran will stop from replenishing to a degree, russia leverage over china if we stop allowing iran to sell cheap oil to china. they will be a new sheriff in town. >> steve: we are sitting 15 blocks north of madison square garden. >> ainsley: how great was that the deal? donald trump walked into the ufc fight and was with dana white and hugged joe grogan. he walks into msg after he did that rally a few weeks ago and the crowd went wild. those are his people. watch this.

when they started tracking birthrates. there is a real problem, economic implications and labor implications. elon musk talked about that and talk about whether robots could replace this but forget all that. are implications for our souls and our happiness and not having children. i personally know somebody who thought her career was everything and said, i am one of those people i just want my husband and my career. ended up having a child and said to, i can't believe i almost missed this. >> steve: what was i thinking? >> what was i thinking? and have another one after that. we were sitting during commercial break and you said how many did you know you were going to have. i didn't. i am catholic. they just came. but i did have someone give me advice. don't think about it because when you have a baby, it is hard and if you have other little kids, don't think how many kids you are having right now.

judge, who have been at the courtroom with the jury as we listen to the testimony. are you getting a rate how they are taking it? >> nope. these juries are cognizant of the fact we are watching every second. but what i can tell you this jury is unlike any jury i have ever seen. i used to somewhat have homogenous group, the kind of group going out to dinner and so different, old, black, white and some seemed a little more well-heeled than others. but they are all new yorkers and virtually everyone one of them has been on the subway. so they know better than most of us what it is like on the subway. what has been described for them in this case is the kind of scenario i don't know any of them have experienced. you think this wild where a guy gets on the train and throws his jacket down and says, "i don't care if i go to jail for life because some guy is going to die today and i'm hungry and i want

food." he goes on and starts plunging. he has bended knees pulled up at the waist and he goes to a woman with a carriage and a young child and that is when danny penny gets involved. now the medical examiner is on. they were still cross-examining the defense. this medical examiner was very unusual because i tried these cases and i've been in charge of these cases but she comes an end it appears that chief medical examiner, the one appointed by mayor adams is involved in this case. it is somewhat unusual for him to be involved and part of a consensus that they gather to make a decision. she is claiming it was at the expiation when she says she has no idea the amount of pressure applied and she can't tell that it appears because he was moving that being penny of jordan neely, you couldn't consistently apply pleasure in e place and she was on category of

drugs consistent with cocaine. he also had sickle cell in every major one of his organs, which is a contributor to death as well. finally, no broken bones in his neck. i have tried strangulation cases involving the neck, no bones broken in the neck and the chin with the force was so great, why are they are not broken bones? these are delicate bones. i think if they bring a case, they will do it today. i suspect they have proven much of their case to the prosecution's case. every prosecution witness has given defense some crime to argue for the jury. >> brian: how much will they finish up? >> a couple of questions and your next question i don't know. >> brian: guilty or not guilty? what are you doing later? [laughter]

>> will daniel penny take the stand is a question? that is the ultimate question. what do you think? >> brian: i don't think they would. to much of a risk. you have to go to the courtroom. >> ainsley: really quickly, they examiner said he was still breathing when daniel took his polls. >> he had a polls air jet this is where the experts will come in and disagree. this doctor claimed she was leveled to when she was really a level 1 in the major medical examiners involved, there is too much going on. i don't like the smell of it. >> steve: judge, hop in your car and go downtown and we will see you later on fox. >> thank you. >> steve: meanwhile one court case to the other another fox news alert right now laken riley's murder trial after prosecutors revealed she thought with her killer for 18 minutes in her final moments. paul mauro is live from georgia coming up next.

clogs he allegedly wore with a hole and the thumb to allow for the thumbprint. we see the video of him what appears to be walking to the dumpster to dispose of the clothing subsequently found to have his dna and laken riley's. it is a very compelling narrative and the defense will have their work cut out for them. >> ainsley: while hunting, painting out to hunting for women and peeping tom case earlier that day and then the gloves. what does that tell you? does he go with a motive? >> it really does seem that way and the statement at the top inflammatory from the prosecutor and compromising and the judge that he was out on the hunt and that is just something that lodges in the mind of the fact finder here. he was out earlier. he tries to get into the home apparently have an employee of

vga. he has with him and this is interesting, he has with him a cup subsequently found closer to the scene of laken riley. but yet, the cup is observed of the video at the peeping tom seen. that is why it is important to get the earlier incident into the same case. they got a hold of that cup and tested for dna. the officer testified it smells like alcohol. maybe he was intoxicated and had this on his mind. and fortunately for laken riley, tragically, he ends up countering her. >> brian: the case makes it look more like a devastating conviction. paul, thank you so much. we look forward to carrying out and monitoring it the rest of the day, paul mauro, thank you. let's check in with dana perino on her show and i would imagine carrying on this trial. >> absolutely and a wonderful show as always and we will try

>> steve: a growing number of republican and rural counties across the country up and down the west coast feel steam rolled by democrat-led governments beginning in oregon. >> brian: the greater idaho moment has 13 counties voting to join idaho. >> ainsley: with more is spokesperson matt mccaul. >> hello, comp morning. >> ainsley: there is traction in illinois and california and oregon for these movements. they feel steam rolled by these blue-led cities and they want to separate. how is it going and how does it work? are you able to do it? >> yeah, so it's going well. what you are seeing across our country we have a very stark urban rural divide and we've seen the maps that happen after

the election. the entire country is red and a few blue dots sprinkled about. what you are seeing in oregon and illinois and california is that people in these rural areas, people across the country are saying it doesn't make sense for these metro areas that vote completely different than the rest of the state or different than the rural areas with different politics and culture and different way of life doesn't make any sense for them to dictate policy to rural areas or vice versa. what people are saying is that we want to use the political tools at our -- that we have available to change our borders like in oregon we want to move the border west so that eastern oregon can be part of idaho and the people in eastern oregon conservative and rural can get their state government from idaho. the people in 13 counties have voted and said yes. idaho legislature has said they are open to talks and the governor of idaho say they are

eastern oregon who voted to join another state held captive by their state legislature. we need to put pressure on those people to do the right thing and let us go. >> brian: don't let the door hit you on the you know what and maybe they want to excavate themselves from people that disagree with them politically. that might be a secret weapon. we'll have to leave it there and look forward to tracking this on the way. see certain states expand. that would be unique. >> steve: thanks for getting the word out. >> ainsley: you can leave oregon without moving. >> steve: we've seen the map for years where it is all red except some little pockets of blue. >> dana: trump did make gains. >> steve: now the red is fighting back. >> ainsley: bye, everyone. >> dana: the illegal immigrant charged with murdering laken riley is back in court for day two of his trial. prosecutors say he attacked and killed the 22-year-old in february while she was jogging on the university of georgia campus. we are monitoring that more
