nice to see you. >> dana: president trump is stirring things up in washington and doing it fast. cutting through years of biden bureaucracy through dramatically reshape the federal government moving at warp speed to keep his campaign promises. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning. quite a week. >> dana: you don't get to be shown where the bathroom is. straight to work. >> bill: bill hemmer, good morning at home. president trump unleashing a tidal wave of executive orders. a lot at stake because of it. trump says it will take time, money and effort to fix many of the problems inherited from president biden. but he believes they can all be solved >> dana: in his first sit-down interview trump told hannity he got back to the white house just in the nick of time. >> it was the second time in history somebody didn't have consecutive terms. >> president trump: they say it's historically bigger. i don't know about that. but i can say it showed us a couple of things. it showed us that the radical

left, their philosophy and policies are horrible. we we didn't win this race i think our country would have gone forever. >> bill: from the white house we go and mark meredith there on the north lawn. mark. >> bill, good morning to you. roughly an hour president trump is set to address both world leaders as well as business leaders at an economic summit in switzerland. that address will be happening virtually but it will be his clans to outline more of his america first policies as they have been rolling out at break neck speed. trump issue multiple executive orders to change not only how the federal government does business but who is working in it itself. issued orders putting all employees focused on diversity programs on paid leave. a deadline of noon today for agencies to submit a list of names of employees who were recently in those positions.

we have a meme fro the head of office of personnel and management these programs divided americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars and resulted in shameful discrimination. trump is also ordering federal workers to get back into their physical offices. there has been reports people have been googling asking will this impact me? what will it mean for my job? this hasn't happened over the last several years. however, while we're seeing so many executive orders come out, some democrats say the president is not focusing on the right policies. they are blaming him for high prices despite the fact he has been in office for less than a week. >> my local cost co-was out of eggs this weekend. $14 for 18 eggs. a much bigger problem for working people than the name of the gulf of mexico. >> tomorrow trump is scheduled to go to california and north carolina. two states hit hard by natural disasters. trump told fox's sean hannity it may not be up to fema in the

future to handle these disasters. >> president trump: unless you have certain types of leadership it is really -- it gets in the way. fema will be a whole big discussion very shortly because i would rather see the states take care of their own problems. let that state. >> trump held a call spoke with saudi arabia's crown prince and when he will make his first trip overseas. >> mark meredith, north lawn. hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars were spent on d.e.i. all those efforts about diversity, equity and inclusion under the biden administration watchdog group open the books. president trump slashing that spending. hillary vaughn is on the hill. what's up now? >> well, we're still doing the math to figure out how much d.e.i. has cost taxpayers across over 400 federal agencies. the initial numbers coming in

are in the millions and it is mind blowing. according to open the books federal agencies have spent millions on d.e.i. programs and this is just what we know about. it is going to be much worse. hhs spending $68 million on d.e.i. programs including employing over 290d.e.i. staffers. epa spending $3 billion on a d.e.i. and environment a.m. justice grant programming including 200 d.e.i. starters on the payroll. the national science foundation $2 billion in d.e.i.-related grants. republicans on capitol hill are applauding president trump for finally letting d.e.i. die. >> all federal workers ought to be done based on merit not diversity, equity and inclusion. how do we get the best workers to do it? nothing to do with opportunity for everyone. this is cultural marxism.

d.e.i. was meant to divide the room by race and it is poison. >> some democrats think that trump is out of line to end d.e.i. >> he wants to traumatize federal workforce. there seems to be an element of glee in traumatizing people. i think this d.e.i. is just another example of that. >> what is traumatizing to taxpayers is looking at how much money is wasted on these programs. the u.s. debt clock that tallies up if realtime how much money is being added to the debt. now there is a live doge clock that tallies up how much money is being saved for taxpayers as a result of president trump's actions. like this. ending d.e.i. programs, bill. >> bill: okay. they came in with a lot of ideas. interesting to watch. thanks, hillary, nice to see you on the hill. >> dana: more on this. former speaker of the house kevin mccarthy.

last night i said d.e.i. was a tape worm. it kept getting bigger and bigger. omar didn't like this. >> it is incredibly alarming. we as a country strive to create a more equitable space for everyone. when they talk about creating a more efficient workplace, that is what d.e.i. hires essentially do. >> dana: in your experience in the government how did d.e.i. affect day-to-day operations? >> it killed productivity. no longer did you want to put your very best in. that's not how you were promoted. you were promoted by your sexuality or the color of your skin. it infiltrated business. we watched it go across. america was losing productivity throughout business. this is a major cultural change that gets us back to the heart of a core of what america is.

everybody has an opportunity but it is based upon your own skill and merit of what you put in. this will have everlasting changes and make america much stronger. >> bill: so that's one change. another one. come back to work full-time. here is the the memo for federal workers in washington. the only way to get employees back to the office is through adopt the central policy requiring return to work for all agencies across the federal government. seeking to ca joel individual agent east to try to get employees to return to the work site has not succeeded. you lived and worked in washington. how will it go over? >> well, let me tell you this. when we took the majority in the house two years ago this is one of the bills we passed out of the house that schumer actually killed in the senate and the president fought hard even in the last days before he left office. he wanted to cut a deal with the union long-term so people would not have to return. this is what makes people so

upset about government. government should work for them. you know what? covid was over. when we ended covid people should be back. it is providing service to the constituents. nobody is there. why are we spending money if half of the workforce federal workforce is not back at work? do you need that large a workforce or do you need the asset of those buildings? those assets you could sell, pay down the debt and another place that america can become stronger and more efficient and more accountable. >> dana: president trump will be going to california tomorrow. >> president trump: remember when i took criticism when i said you have to manage your fires? look what happened. los angeles is like a nuclear weapon went off what happened to los angeles. that thing went for four or five days and nobody was even fighting it because they didn't have any water.

their fire departments aren't funded properly. >> dana: there was a photo of you touring in 2018 when president trump went and met with gavin u newsom now. there is a different feeling now. >> it's frustrating. when i went with president trump we went to the paradise fire with 85 people died. we flew and went to the malibu fire. i listened to president trump tell gavin newsom who has been in office for more than 12 years, you have to take out this brush because a fire will burn but not if it doesn't have fuel. when you talk about water. the president trump had actually worked because the northern california is where our water and snow pack is and gets sent down south. he continues to send it to the ocean. what is worse in the derelict duty in l.a. county they didn't have a backup generator. if you go to hermosa beach with a water system by the private

water company they have a backup generator so it wouldn't go out and be prepared. then the insurance, many people have lost their insurance down there before this fire took place. there is this devastating story of a grandfather of a friend. he did not leave the house because his insurance was canceled six months before. nothing that he had done. so he stayed there to fight it and lost his life. this is again gavin newsom has failed california in so many different ways. one of the core jobs of elected official, private safety. make sure you have the protection when it comes to a fire. the fundamental things you should do. he is calling a special election worried about what trump may do in the future? he should have listened to trump when we were with him on the last fire and learned from that before he took office. >> dana: pay attention to that tomorrow and the days to come and we'll bring it to everyone live. kevin mccarthy, thank you for joining us. >> bill: on that topic here is what's happening in los angeles. sun is about to come up now on

the west coast. the hughes fire is serious, northern l.a. county here. here are the numbers. near castaic lake and the junction there. 14% contained. acreage covering 10,000. have to get a handle on this. we're watching some of the video from yesterday. this thing blew up. if you saw some of our reporters up there huge plume of smoke in the sky. that is just one fire. we'll move from our newsroom area. pardon my back over to the weather department here to check in on our colleagues because you've got the one fire there in the hughes fire. jimmy, go ahead and lead me on in here and you have two other fires burning. one is the sepulveda fire right along the 405 freeway. i always consider that central l.a. marissa torres is watching this for us. >> we still have active fires burning but improvements. with the hughes fire that it looks like crews have been able to push some of the flames further back into a more

wilderness area to the north and pushing it further away from homes is always a positive. 14% containment. not done with the winds yet. we have to get through this morning and into the afternoon. gusting off shore winds. very dry. we're worried about the spread of active fires and the concern for more fires. >> bill: we're watching three right now. what about into friday and into the weekend? will they get a break or will it get worse? >> mother nature finally helping out. what we'll see for friday we have to get through the wind today. the off shore wind continuing to dry everything up. not as gusty as earlier this week and compared to what two weeks ago with the palisades fire. friday is a dramatic shift. more of an on shore wind. the on shore wind off the pacific bring moisture. that helps put moisture into the atmosphere but will the low sliding down over california we have rain coming in. we have to get through today and a little bit of friday as well. rain chances on saturday.

the problem, though. not always good news with rain. if we can get light rain great. if we get thunderstorms that develop saturday night over portions of l.a. and ventura county and falling in the freshly burned areas you get heavy rain, the threat for flash flooding as well as mud and debris slides. >> bill: how long do the santa ana winds run? >> typically end of the year. fall and into the winter. what we had so far in january to see this intense wind isn't that common. though it can happen. >> bill: thanks, great to see you and your team at fox weather. >> you are welcome any time. >> bill: thank you. now there is this. >> president trump wrote an executive order to be a part of his border security package. we want to make sure that that executive order cannot be just overturned by the next president. >> dana: democratic attorneys general having their day in

court fighting to block president trump's bid to end birthright citizenship and putting politics in a house of worship. d.c. bishop refusing to apologize for controversial sermon during the inaugural prayer service. >> what she did was uncalled for. perhaps we should pray for her. the american people expect us to deliver on the mandate in which they've given us. the days of negativity are over. ? [cough] unlike robitussin dm, delsym liquid offers 12 hours of cough relief all day or night. delsym, cough crisis averted.

>> sovereign nation but you have to have sovereign borders and who would have thought that would have been violated? the citizenship clause was never intended to guarantee citizenship for the children of

illegal immigrants. >> dana: that battle moving to a court of law. president trump's executive order facing its first legal challenge in a seattle courtroom. david spunt is live at the justice department with much more. hi, david, good morning. >> good morning to you. that hearing begins in a little bit less than three hours in that seattle courtroom. a federal courtroom i may add. republicans on capitol hill in the house want president trump to sign their bill into law. watch. >> this is about insuring the citizenship a cornerstone of our national identity. it is protected, respected, and aligned with the principles upon which this country was built. >> even if congress passes this bill and president trump signs it into law ending birthright citizenship it won't end birthright citizenship. the reason it's part of the constitution specifically the 14th amendment dating back to 18683 years after the civil war changing the constitution will not happen even with a law.

to change the constitution, 2/3 of both house and senate would need to agree and 3/4 or 75% of all 50 state legislatures to sign up. thats the way to change the constitution. if president trump signs it into law the supreme court may be more interested to hear arguments eventually and though the justices can't change the constitution, their weight certainly would add to the conversation. right now at least 22 states are suing following president trump's executive order revoking birthright citizenship. one of those states, washington state as i mentioned that hearing in seattle the state is asking for a temporary restraining order to stop the executive order from being put in place. ultimately, no question this is a long game changing the constitution is not an easy fete but this brings up the conversation about birthright citizenship and may be what the white house wants to do. >> dana: fascinated by the debate. thank you for that report, david.

>> thanks. >> in the name of our god, i ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. there are gay, lesbian and transgender children in republican, democratic and independent families. some who fear for their lives. the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. i ask you to have mercy, mr. president, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. >> bill: that plea from a d.c. bishop mid prayer service triggering a firestorm from the trump administration. despite president trump demanding an apology over the sermon, the reverend budde telling "time" magazine saying she won't say she is sorry. bill mcgurn, good morning to you. "time" magazine. she went on "the view." that was a strange --

>> dana: that's a tell. >> bill: i would love people to bring compassion and breath into our public discord. >> it was a tell that she went on "the view." everything unfolded the way she wanted it to. this is not a prayer service. dana, were you at the second inaugural prayer service for bush? we sat through a lot of these events. good for the country, many different clergymen get up to speak. this was designed to invite the president in, hold him and his family and vice president hostage and to get what you just showed on the screen. you have the president and his team and their faces while this woman is insulting them from the pulpit. it was designed to insult them publicly in front of the whole

nation. it succeeded. i think if she had these concerns, she might have given him a letter for privately. but i think this is a stunt. >> dana: that proves it because when she went on "the view" she said this. watch here. >> how could it not be politicized? i was trying to speak a truth i felt needed to be said but to do it in as respectful and kind a way as i could. and also to bring other voices into the conversation, which voices that had not been heard in the public space for some time. >> dana: what's interesting is she is -- one of the things she talked about was immigrants. she had a very narrow view of the type of immigrant in our country but then the people also who didn't have a voice for a long time are the victims' families. you saw a bipartisan passage of the laken riley act. the first bill passed under president trump. >> you can have a conversation

about all this but it is not to be done from the pulpit. these are all secular concerns. nothing about the gospel of jesus christ as far as i can see. it was all political stuff and now she is on a victory tour of tv saying i'm not going to apologize. it is really quite extraordinary and it is just insulting. i don't see how that advances her side. >> bill: there was another way to do this. she could have expressed her feelings about this and her concerns and she could have also expressed her concerns for the families of the victims whether it's laken riley passed on the same day or that beautiful 12-year-old girl jocelyn nungaray. we pray for the strength of these families to get over these most challenging time. >> that would be the humanitarian way and the nonpartisan way to do it.

but i think -- >> dana: she leads a church that very much does this every sunday. this is not a new thing. it is not just her. the pastors of this church do it all the time. >> i'm not a member of that church. >> dana: they should have gone to the catholic church. it would have been the national shrine up there at catholic university. >> the basilica or st. matthew's. it was a deliberate choice. they took the man, the president, when hostage sitting in a seat they put the tv cameras on him and had her issue this stream of political statements. >> dana: bill mcgurn, thank you. you can read him every tuesday in the "wall street journal" and we do. i read it monday night so i can get a jump on it. good to see you. >> thank you dana and bill. >> ashes are everywhere. neighbors watered down the house. want to make sure the family is good right now.

>> dana: thousands in los angeles forced to evacuate after two new fires erupt in southern california. we are tracking the flames. we'll bring you president trump addressing the davos convention at the top of the hour when that happens.

ripping through yesterday threatening the town of castaic itself and just to the south of that santa clarita forcing tens of thousands of people evacuating their homes. given what has happened over the last couple of weeks here in the l.a. area, nobody was taking any risks with those evacuation orders. when they heard them, people got out and they got out quickly. we had another fire break out late last night, the early hours of the morning east coast time. that was called the sepulveda fire. it was near the iconic getty center and also threatened and ordered evacuation for some homes in the ritzy bel air neighborhood. that has been stopped now. here in the hughes on sepulveda fire were helped by the wind not

being enough to ground aircraft. they dropped water. they really played a significant role in firefighters getting the upper hand and preventing the kind of destruction that we saw just two weeks ago in the palisades fire and in the eaton fire in altadena. interestingly, dana, president trump is due to tour the damage from those two fires tomorrow when he comes to southern california. he is already setting up a political debate over california's preparedness to deal with those fires. he spoke to sean hannity last night. listen here. >> president trump: i don't think we should give california anything until they let water flow down. it's a political thing. i don't know what it is. >> there will be plenty of political discussion when the president arrives here tomorrow, dana. >> dana: what a pretty place and location that is, jonathan. thank you so much.

>> bill: with us now is a california chief of fire communications. here we go again. what's the status and outlook for you? >> hi, thank you for having me on. yes. we're continuing to be in a red flag warning. we will be through friday. while the hughes and sepulveda made news we had more than a dozen other fires that we were able to keep to a low acreage primarily because we had so much surged resources spread throughout southern california as well as the mobileization center. all these resources were immediately employed. we had a number of strike teams in the santa clarita area next to castaic immediately deployed and on the fire line. so we have gotten all the resources that we need and having that aircraft was absolutely critical. >> dana: what do you think president trump will witness tomorrow? >> well, fortunately the fire

has been reduced but a lot of work being done in protective actions to mitigate runoff. we want to make sure that any water that we do get, which we hopefully get in terms of rain, will go to the natural sources rather than collect and turn into debris flows or mudslides that roll down into the los angeles basin. >> bill: we're hoping for the best for you out there. the weather will turn over the weekend and hopefully we can hang on until then. thank you, sir, good luck. >> thank you so much. >> bill: 10:35. back here in new york. back to trump 2.0 forcing democrats to tear up their playbook. who the party might be looking to as its next leader as they search for direction. plus president trump deploying active duty troops to the southern border. how communities on the front lines of that border of the crisis are now reacting. >> get back into my house. i hear them.

>> bill: so a lot of movement on the hill right now as we try and get through president trump's cabinet nominees. chad pergram with the latest confirmation process. brooke raw liens an others. >> she is having her confirmation hearing today the agriculture secretary today. but the votes today on the floor and probably into the weekend are important. john ratcliffe up for c.i.a. director. a confirmation -- a vote to end a filibuster on his nomination today in the senate. it will start in about 20, 25

minutes or so. then in the early afternoon the senate will vote to confirm him. then the big one, pete hegseth up to be the defense secretary. there will be a vote to break a filibuster on his nomination probably sometime this afternoon. once you break a filibuster on a nomination, you get 30 hours of what they call post closure debate. democrats can hold this up for 30 hours. you would then go to a confirmation vote on him probably sometime friday night, early saturday morning and lisa murcowski, republican from alaska said today she has concerns about pete hegseth but he will probably be confirmed tomorrow night. they might need to bring jd vance to the hill to potentially break a tie. >> bill: watching for that. the first big deal for jd vance. thank you for watching that for us. >> dana: the democrats adrift in the political wilderness. the party lacking a clear leader and sense of direction as president trump and the

republicans put their stamp on washington. bring in our panel. todd piro, and emily compagno. headlines across the spectrum. democratic infighting is rising as trump takes center stage. privately squirming about their leadership and message. grappling with trump 2.0. infighting, panic and blame. an epic hang over there. play more from trump and hannity last night. watch here. >> president trump: i think one thing is happening is people are learning that they can't govern and that their policies are terrible. they don't want to see a woman get pummeled by a man in a boxing ring. they don't want to see men in women's sports. they don't want to see taxes go through the roof. this is the only group of people that want to raise your taxes. they say we want to raise your

taxes. they don't use common sense. in my opinion the democrats don't use common sense. >> dana: and can't seem to get off the mat. >> they're sticking with the old playbook. they have extreme policies but they can't get off the playbook of blaming him for everything. an event in new york city and largely democrat attended and talked about how trump could have won. somebody shouted biden. the reality is without a leader, without a strong person at the helm to message a more centrist policy and to keep them in line, the attacks aren't working is why they lost. as a democrat operative said we a spiraling. i believe that. for them to move forward not only do they need to assign a new leader not a gavin newsom but are particular late centrist policies and working with the

commander-in-chief. >> they will rise a again. when and with whom? >> i don't have know. look how deep the republican bench is. jd vance waiting in the wings. ron desantis, the list goes on and on. newsom, pete buttigieg? these are not leaders you want to take over. i understand the palace intrigue of the infighting with the democrats. we love the personality fights. but to your point, bill. that will be rectified. they don't have the policy on their side right now. i don't know when that is going to be rectified. to answer your when, i think the democrats will get up off the mat when they do what emily just said and figure out how to make their policies more centered. the democrats want a fighter to fight for them not donald trump. it's what donald trump is. >> bill: somewhat telling that so many democrats are voting on

the immigration bills. they've learned a lesson on that anyway. >> dana: one of the pod save america guys on jesse watters last night. let's watch. >> the people who want to run for office to emerge. we have great governors, gretchen whitmer, wes moore. >> is kamala running again? do you back her if she does? >> it is early for an endorsement. no one announced they're in the race. two years, mid-term elections. democrats need to show who they are for, what they are fighting for and hold donald trump's feet to the fire. >> dana: you don't hear anything from the dnc. pod save america is the head of the democrats. >> it reflects this shift of a lot of americans that are moving away from mainstream media and going towards podcasts. we have a subscription to curiosity and openness than a talking point they are all attached to. i have to say that the court system, which will make a lot of these grounding decisions on these policies, that's a big deal and up to the narrative coming out of that is the

mainstream media, are any of these talking heads going to say these judges are activists. i think that's a tone that will sit poorly with the american people whether or not they voted for trump they'll start bashing the courts that will uphold the constitutionality of trump's policies and reversing the unconstitutional policy of the prior administration. >> bill: i was thinking they stole your idea, man. it should have been todd save america. that was the gold. >> the american people want todd save america. whether it's trump, the dem -- i'm looking in the camera. make it happen. for the sake of todd save america let's lop off the second d. >> dana: great to have you. have a good day. want to get you to this. man accused of murdering four college students in idaho is fighting to throw out key evidence. why the defense is challenging the use of dna found at the crime scene.

>> dana: his term with a major crackdown on the southern border deploying an additional 1500 active duty troops there. el paso's democratic mayor is pushing back. brooke taylor is live in el paso. good morning, brooke. >> good morning, dana. the defense department says they are going to send 1500 additional troops all across the southern border. they are going to be stationed at different parts, most of them we're told will get here by the end of the week. the main task to build barriers and they are also going to be providing flights to help with these deportations. president trump's press secretary says this is going to send a really strong message to any illegal migrants in the united states and they are thinking about breaking the law. if you do so, you will be arrested and returned home. that's exactly what our drones

caught in eagle pass, texas, four migrants were let out of a border patrol van. stopped in the middle of the bridge and sent back to mexico. right here in el paso the mayor johnson says the city doesn't need the troops along the border. he claims it is quote very safe. >> i go back to saying we're very safe community. we are one of the safest cities in the united states and we don't need troops along our border here because it is very safe. >> check this out. border patrol agents are trying to tackle ruthless cartels and gangs. we reported on the tunnel discovered by agent earlier this month stretching from mexico to el paso used for smuggling humans and drugs. just this week border patrol served a warrant and arrested four people seizing rifles, drugs and found next to a shrine known to be used by drug cartels. border czar tom homan has said he will prosecute and try to

prosecute any official in democratic cities that try to fight back and don't cooperate. the mayor says despite saying this is a safe city and he doesn't need to troops he claims he says he is still going to follow the law, dana. >> dana: brooke taylor in el paso. >> changing scene down there. oscar nominations out of today. hemmer's celebrity news. amelia perez leading the way, 13 tomorrow nations including best picture. that's on netflix i believe. also up for the top prize and nora. >> dana: my pilates teacher said it isn't good. >> bill: i have seen a complete unknown. i liked it. one of the bigger snubs. many thought he would get best supporting actor for conclave. a another headline was the singer secured her first ever nomination for wicked. she is up for best supporting

actress. haven't seen wicked yet. i think the best supporting actress will be the person who played joan biaz. how was she able to do that. >> dana: i want to learn more about the relationship. sounds juicy. we're awaiting a pre-trial hearing for brian kohberger, the man charged with murder ping for college students in idaho. dan springer is in boise with more. feels like it has been a long time coming to get this trial going. >> it has been a long time, dana. this is a critical day and the lead-up to that bryon kohberger murder trial scheduled for august of this year. his defense attorneys will argue in court in a few minutes that nearly all of the evidence collected against him should be thrown out because they argue his privacy rights were violated. kohberger is charged in the brutal knife attack that left

four university of idaho students dead in their off-campus house in november of 2022. it took more than six weeks for the police to make an arrest and today bryan kohberger's attorneys will try to make the case the whole investigation was built on an illegal search using his dna and a relatively new tool called investigative genetic genealogy. if successful kohberger walks. >> i do not think that there is any way that the prosecution could proceed in this case. everything else is, you know, circumstantial and they lose the dna evidence and then they lose all of those other things. what evidence do they have left? there is nothing left to proceed on. >> here is what the defense wrote in one of the 12 motions to be suppress that will be argued today. quote, all the information in the affidavit was gathered because of law enforcement's unconstitutional use of investigative genetic genealogy

and thus nothing in the warrant should remain. we don't know how much exactly the police used igd to focus in on kohberger. everything connected to that part of the investigation has been under seal. but we know how it works. we know police got dna off a snap on a knife sheath found next to the bodies of two of the victims. eventually that dna was used to build a family tree of the suspect using genealogy databases. it is a big uphill battle the defense has to climb. we found only two other cases where this has been argued where the motions to suppress were built on this igg argument and both of those argument failed in other cases, one in ohio and one in washington state. so the defense has a big hill to climb but they are trying to climb it today. we don't expect a ruling on this until maybe a couple weeks from now. >> dana: we'll play close attention to that. >> bill: brutal story. dana reads sports and bill reads

sports and crime apparently. ohio state highway patrol has released the body cam video of the arrest of these four men from chile, illegals and they found an lsu hat and bengals hat. >> dana: the guy is wearing it. >> there is a louie vitton bag there, too. >> dana: they said they were going to florida and going the wrong way. >> bill: they wanted to see the snow. they're suspected to being connected to the robbery of burrow's house. >> dana: they could appear on her one more thing going on stupid criminals. they are suspects. alleged. a lot to come today and more on "the five." president trump is busy today and we'll cover it then. harris faulkner and "the faulkner focus" is next. >> harris: breaking news at any moment
