this bill would give d.c. administrative jurisdiction over the campus for at least 99 years and permit d.c. to use the campus for commercial and residential development, recreation, stadium, parks and open space. this bill would require d.c. to preserve 30% of the campus for parks and open space and prohibit d.c. from building along the waterfront. this bill is a win-win for the federal and d.c. governments. as the department of interior testified, this bill would allow d.c. to transform the campus from, quote, acres of asphalt, to a complex focused on community sports, recreation, park space, and community amenities, end quote, and would, quote, guarantee public access to a sizable amount of parkland and outdoor recreation areas, end quote. at the same time, this bill would allow d.c. to create a mixed use development and to generate significant revenue for d.c. i thank chairman comer for his leadership and partnership on this bill and i thank him and westerman and ranking member grijalva and i urge the membe

but this bill, this bill ignores the southern border. almost a million people came over the border in the last three months. almost a million people. and the ukraine firsters are saying we don't care about the southern border. we care about ukraine first. and so the picture, the image that every american should have when they see all of these billions of dollars, $60 billion being shoved out the door, being loaded on the plane, as you see these smiling politicians gleefully dropping off the pallets of cash over there, every american should remember the image of the young man giving america the bird after he assaulted a police officer. that's the image of this bill. that's the image of the ukraine firsters. and nobody should forget about it. when we look at the problems that we face, we need to be fully aware that there is no pot of money, there is no surplus funds, there is no money to give to ukraine. we don't have enough money to pay our bills. we do not have enough money to pay for what we budget every year. in fact, the entire budget

we must pass this bill. we democrats as you know were willing to go steps and a bill supported by the wall street journal editorial page a bill supported by the border patrol union, very much a republican organization, supported by the chamber of commerce and unfortunately too many republicans succumbed to administration of donald trump and too many who said the border is in an emergency. in his own words, crass political purposes, let's delay this for a whole year because it might bring me help in my election, that's not going to wash with the american people. >> would you encourage house democrats and others to discharge petition and if speaker johnson doesn't-- >> i leave that-- i speak regularly to hakeem jeffries, maybe as much, maybe as much as i spoke with speaker pelosi, and his great help in getting this done. >> this funding, ukraine through the end of the year, how long do you think the u.s. needs to fight ukraine's fight and how do you build a coalition given this took several months to build for

bills. >> next year. >> you're wearing your ukrainian outfit. mine is on purpose as you can probably tell. >> speaker johnson has already put out a statement great skepticism with the package. will you speak to him directly and if you do talk to him directly, what will your message be? >> my message, i would hope to speak to speaker johnson directly and my message is this is a rare moment where history is looking upon the united states and seeing if we will stand up for our values, stand up to bullies like putin and do the right thing. i will say to speaker johnson, i am confident that there's a large majority in the house who will vote for this bill. i am confident there are many republicans in his caucus. i know, i've spoken to a whole bunch of them who feel strongly we ought to pass this bill and i will urge speaker johnson to step up to the moment and do the right thing. >> yes. >> do you think it's time for the white house and speaker johnson, and with the-- >> i think the house should

supporting this bill is standing up to putin. opposing this bill is playing into his hands.s i have said before the steaks on this fight extend well beyond ukraine. i hope we do not stop putin's appetite for power and control ukraine he will not limit himself to just ukraine. the cost for the american allies and partners will rise. for those who think they can oppose fighting to ukraine and not be held accountable, history is watching. history is watching. their support ukraine in this critical moment will never be forgotten. the position of the maggie republicans can be characterized at the "new york times" headline first this is the headline it reads, trump first, putin secretary, america third period that cannot pertain this bipartisan agreement provides israel with what it needs to protect its people and defend itself against the hamas terrorist will provide the necessary lifesaving humanitarian assistance for the palestinian people. by opposing this bill it's denying aid to the people who are really suffering and desperately need help. there is more work to get this don

bills. >> go bills. [inaudible conversations] alliance.e conversations] president biden: i'm going to make this as a statement, i won't be taking questions but i'll take questions tomorrow or the next day. i don't want anything to get in the way of this statement. to be very blunt about it. not that you wouldn't just focus on the statement. earlier this morning, the united states senate, as you all know, voted overwhelmingly by a margin of 70-29 to move forward with the bipartisan national security bill. now, now it moves to the house. and i urge speaker johnson to bring it to the floor immediately, immediately. there's no question that the senate bill was put on the floor in the house of representatives, it would pass. it would pass. and the speaker knows that. so i call the speaker to let the full house speak its mind and not allow a minority of most extreme voices in the house to block this bill even from being voted on. even from being voted on. this is a critical act for the house to mo

this goes back to who bill gates really is. he's one of the most storied monopoly to walk the earth. we've forgotten his first chapter at microsoft, the antitrust trials in the late 90, the late 1990s. it was at the height of this pr crisis. he was one of the most reviled public figures on earth. people were throwing pies in his the simpsons was ridiculing him. in this moment of public crisis, he becomes a great philanthropist. very quickly. he goes from greedy to generous, from cold hearted to kind hearted. of course, bill has not really changed, and the way he runs the gates foundation is indistinguishable from the way ran microsoft. it's about exercising. it's about taking control control and it's easy to say, well, gates is an anti democratic figure, but he's giving the gates foundation at this point is giving away close to $80 billion. all of that money has to be helping people. right. and of course, the gates foundation's is helping people through a narrow at times in places it might even be lives. it is saving lives. the

the three of the bill. some will claim that will guarantees their amendments will be accepted makeup consideration finally some republicans will claim that we should separate orders solutions from funding for f ukraine. i would like to address each of those claims right here right now. ten republican senators wrote me a letter i like to introduce into the congressional record progress without objection there. regrets and rickets, rossa, cassidy, graham, sullivan, wicker, asked one think of me before the first vote on legislation. they asked for 72 hours to read the bill. mr. president, we have met that request. the bill was posted at 6:40 p.m. on sunday february 4 they want until 645 tomorrow evening and that is fine with me. actually mr. president we even offered to delay the vote until sometime on thursday. to give even more time for senators to make up their minds. i suspect they will not accept even that offer because they don't want more time. they are just using it as an excuse. in fact it will surpri

it is a good bill.t was crafted by langford, conservative republican, and many democrats, for months. it is an excellent bill to support border control, and the only reason that suddenly -- suddenly, there is opposition to it, is because, unfortunately, trump, who has no legitimate legal reason to be involved, has put out the fact that he does not want to support ukraine. he wants putin to take over ukraine. host: but why do you support the bill specifically? what is it about it? caller: for one thing, we need to end this crisis, and the border control supports this. it is obviously been worked on for months. it is just the best bill that has come along in probably a generation. host: ok. that is linda in florida. you can continue on with your thoughts on the phone lines. if you support it, (202) 748-8000. if you oppose it, (202) 748-8001. if you live in a border state, (202) 748-8002. text us at (202) 748-8003. a text from florida, carol in panama city, says do support it personally as it is just a rep

good bill. they put it out for all of the seeing some 300 plus pages. i got to read that bill but the interesting thing is before the bill was even rolled out, some of the folks that serve in this body said, before they even had a chance to look at it they said i opposed it. because they were told to opposed the bill. we are all elected by our citizens and their states. i would hope we all have a mind and i would hope we all can think and discern fact from fiction but when somebody says vote against it and you just vote against it after you have been in your state stating you have heard what a big issue this is and you have considered what can happen if we do nothing versus what can happen if we do something and yet for political purposes, not because it's a bad policy that for political purposes the person says don't fix it fix it. and almost like a cult people here said we are voting no. it's unbelievable to me and i've seen a lot of hypocrisy in this place but it's unbelievable to me the hypo

i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. emails sent by the white house reveal intense pressure on amazon to censor and suppress books that raise questions about covid-19 and the vaccine. happening now as biden's treasury department unable to refute accusations it put a target on the backs of maga republicans and tracked sensitive personal banking information as part of its investigation into january 6th. they searched for terms like maga, trump, cabella's. hillary vaughn from the hill. >> treasury secretary janet yell en did not deny the surveillance scheme to have banks snoop on their customers' transactions as part of the investigation into january 6th. remember, fox news digital exclusively reported the federal government basically profiled who they thought would be a person of interest. it came down to people who love to shop at dick's sporting goods or bass pro shops who might have purchased religious books. sounds like most americans. those were the red flags investigators wanted banks to look for. a sign they said so

this bill is 370 pages long. most of this legislation is a o border bill which we spent over four months negotiating in a bipartisan way. i was very grateful hundred grams team and senator graham himself orer integral parts of e conversation. so this bill is subject to debate and subject to amendments. but only after a motion to invoke cloture is passed which require 60 votes. my good friend from south carolina would like to offer t amendments. some ofi the ideas he was discussing the ideas i very much a part i look forward to debating possibly even supporting one or more of his amendments. but alas we are unable to consider those amendments becauseco yesterday lee senate chose to vote no on the motion to invoke cloture to move forward on the legislature. therefore were not able amend or debate this bill. the senate moves a forger with a piece of legislation very similar to this missing the entire border section. so, we are now in a period of waiting until our next about to invoke a nether cloture in which potent

i want to see a great bill if we get a great bill we should do it if we don't get a great bill but ion't think we're going to get a great bill if you're starting at 5,000 people a day it's insane. it's interest, we just had a meeting with the teamsters. one of the biggest problems they have is millions of people are pouring into the country. and that's a killer for the teamsters. and i'm going to stop it. that's why the teamsters, i think, support me. i don't know if the top people will support me, we have to find that out. within the union itself, i have tremendous support. reporter: did they offer endorsement? mr. trump: they never give it. i felt -- we have a good shot, i think they like what i do. they never had better -- a better four years than they had during the trump administration. i can say that for a lot of business a lot of people. african-american, asian american, hispanic american. they had the best four years they've ever had. every one of them. reporter: president biden last week, i know you called it a joke, i'm just curious is that something to expect? mr. trump: i

we start back there. >> bill: happy friday. a long one, huh? bill hemmer, good morning. special counsel report blowing open the national debate about the president's age. special counsel hur recommending against criminal charges in part because a jury might view biden as an elderly man with a poor memory, end quote. >> dana: even in the mainstream media the reaction has been harsh. they are no longer to ignore the age-old question is biden too old to be on the 2024 ticket? atlantic with a harsh headline. biden's age is now unavoidable. he looks like he is turning into a statue of joe biden. the implications for this election are far reaching. we want to go to jacque heinrich at the white house where there is some rare activity there last night, jacque. >> that's right, dana. good morning. this report certainly cleared the president of the threat of any charges, it could be significantly damaging to his re-election bid. special counsel describing the 81-year-old as having diminished faculties and poor memory amid widespread voters concerns about his age. although the spec

this is a welfare bill massacre aiding as a tax bill -- masquerading as a tax bill. the "wall street journal" was correct to identify the ways in which this legislation vastly expands the welfare state. and so this is how the bipartisan agreement came together. if the republicans were willing to give the democrats what they wanted for illegal aliens to get massive subsidies and welfare, then the democrats were willing to give the republicans what they wanted on a bunch of business welfare. the child tax credit, as currently contemplated, will be a massive pull factor to bring people into this country illegally and we could have, as the majority party, demanded constraints to stop them from being able to use the money that way. but bipartisanship was more important than good policy. and as my friend from kentucky, mr. massie, noted recently, if you aren't paying taxes and youn the form of a check, that's not a tax cut. that's not even tax policy. that's just welfare. that's just that's just welfare. that's giving people money who didn't initially pay it in. and a bunc

a final comprehensive bill. but i want to ensure members that chair graves and i will it be to fight for house priorities in the final bill to ensure that house members' voices are heard while we address long-standing issues in our aviation system. i support the short-term bill and, my colleagues to do the same. with that, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: gentleman reserves. gentleman from missouri is recognized. mr. graves: thank you, madam spearer. i yield five minutes to the gentleman from louisiana, mr. graves, who is also the aviation subcommittee chairman. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. graves: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, i want to add my voice of strong support to this legislation. look, there's no question what weave seen in the aviation industry, these near misses, these runway incursions, safety issues, all across the aviation system. as both ranking member larsen and chairman graves noted, the house did its business. we came together in a

i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. today's contest has both sides worried and with good reason. republicans are fighting to try and hold onto a slim majority in the house. republican mazie pilip and tom suozzi, the democrat, is trying to get back the seat. facing off to replace george santos. district three on long island outside of new york city, once a solid blue stronghold shaping up to be a political battleground for all kinds of reasons, too. voters voice fears over inflation, the high cost of living, crime, immigration, overseas hot spots like israel and ukraine. it is a lot like other places across america that could determine biden's fate come november. >> dana: the candidates delivering closing arguments in the final hours of this campaign. watch here. >> securing our borders, it is all about being tough on crime and supporting law enforcement, is all about improving our economy. >> i'm offering change. she is the same status quo of division. santos 2.0. phony baloney non-transparent. >> dana: we're in queens

even then, there was never a bill as tough on the border as this bill.o some republican senators like lindsey graham and john cornyn say exactly that, we won't get a better deal even if we control both houses of congress and the white house next year, because the democrats won't want to give all of this. right now, though, the democrats and president biden are willing to give that. they're willing to even take blowback from progressives, because they know they need to get this done. they know the nation wants there to be real change at the border. we see poll after poll that suggests that. it is a deeply cynical and nakedly craven thing to create that chaos because they think it will help them benefit politically. >> joining this discussion we have the reverend al sharpton and staff writer for the atlantic, david frum. david's latest piece is entitled, "the art of no deal." >> it's very clear what donald trump and the republicans have said openly. i've never heard this before in all of my life, but they're saying it openly. what is good for america is ba

bill is a terrible bill. i'm going to break it down on two metrics. number one, policy and number two, politics. on policy, why is this bill a terrible bill, it does not solve the problem. illegal immigration, people are dying. children are brutalized, women are sexual assaulted, over 100,000 people died of overdoses last year. this bill doesn't fix it. >> sandra: to that point, looks like they are getting ready here at the white house. to that point, governor, how about the president say to the american people that since karine jean-pierre, she often says that white house briefing we are about to get another one of in one minutes, apparently, why doesn't he step up there and say this is what i have been doing since i made this priority, since i took office. show us what has worked at the southern border. bring kamala harris in, who is appointed czar, i don't know how many years ago at this point. show us what you have done, what policies you have enacted that are working as you ask for more money to fund and

that's not in this bill. what was in this bill nis an almost immediate shutdown of the border. it was to be signed into law, the border would be shut down the very next day until crossing levels went way down. and then, they would reopen these hearings and these screenings. they would give a ton of money, actually, to make the immigration system works, and having enough agents, enough judges, enough nglawyers to process these cases in a fair and humane way, while at the same time, if levels got high, it will shut the border down again. it did not allow 5000 people into the country every day with no questions asked. the bill was very much misrepresented by many on the right. so, yes, it still had a tremendous impact on the border of, but its prospects are very dim right now. it appears as if almost no republicans are going to support, and in fact even james lankford was indicating that all the political pressure against him was getting, that he himself might not s even vot to put the bill on the floor. >> that pis bananas. tell us, luke, how do you think this impeachment vote on

good morning. >> bill, good morning. outrage grows after a pair of officers were kicked, even stomped on here in times square. the brutal attack captured on surveillance. at this time at least five of the suspects have been arraigned and released without bail. two more suspects arrested late yesterday evening. the nypd's top officers, new york leaders say this city is sending the wrong message. look at the screen. one of the suspects 22-year-old leaving court after his arraignment yesterday. at times covering his face and giving not one, but two middle fingers to the media. the manhattan district attorney's office confirms cash bail was not requested for the five suspects because the investigation into the incident is ongoing. a spokesperson telling us violence against police officers is never acceptable and paramount we conclusively identify each defendant and specify each participants' role in the incident. every defendant charged so far is facing felony charges that carry a penalty of up to seven years. this is an act

my bill. the drought preparedness act, and being willing to consider it through the natural resources committee to help us bring it to the floor today. finally i want to thank my colleague, representative cisco mauney who co-chairs the colorado river caucus with me here in the united states house and co-sponsored this particular bill. throughout my home state of colorado we have seen drought conditions threaten the lives and livelihoods of so many in our communities. these ongoing drought krns shrinking. the regions -- are shrinking the region's many, many, water lifelines. as someone who represents the second congressional district of colorado and represents the headwaters of the colorado river, we know in my district, and our communities know, firsthand, how important that critical water supply is for our state. that is why we joined, rather created and formed, the bipartisan colorado river ca caucus, a forum for those in river basin states to discuss the colorado river upper basin and lower

back to you, dana and bill. >> bill: we'll see what moves eventually. nice to see you in new york. >> dana: fox news alert. america's border crisis boiling over as illegal immigrants flood into cities and make their own rules with nothing more telling of the pervasive lawlessness and sheer chaos than the utter disrespect that we saw from migrants giving them the middle finger after the beating of new york city police officers outside a shelter in times square. i'm dana perino. >> bill: happy friday. i'm bill hemmer. good morning. illegal immigrants caught on video attacking police on the sidewalk outside the hotel where they were getting free housing. the far left d.a. alvin bragg, along with a judge putting the violent suspects back on the street within hours. another example of crime without consequence. undermining our system of justice and some new yorkers telling the ingraham angle last night who they blame for the migrant matter. >> do you blame president biden for this? >> i do. i do. the wall was being built. it got stopped. >> honestly we have

to pass this bill immediately.o stand for decency, stand for democracy, to stand up to the so-called leader hell bent on weakening american security. and i mean it sincerely. history is watching. history is watching. and moments like this, we have to remember who we are. we're the united states of america. the world is looking to us. there's nothing beyond our capacity when we act together. in this case, acting together includes acting with our nato allies. god bless you all, may god protect. i promise i'll answer questions later. [talking simultaneously] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit >> house minority leader hakeem jeffries says all options are on the table to pass the $95 billion foreign aid package that was passed in the senate, including the use of a possible

and our bill ends that. the conservative wall street journal, called ours the most restrictive migrant legislation in decades. we make sure only those actually fleeing violence and persecution can stay here and work after they pass a new faster, tougher screening. and if someone doesn't finish the asylum process, their work permit gets taken away. hr-2 silence. hr-2 doesn't even fund new detention beds, guys. hr-2, another example of all talk and no action. so if you want to spend the border crisis for your own political agendas, go right ahead. if you want to use the southern border as a back drop for your political campaign, that's fine, good luck to you, but i have a very clear message for anyone using the southern border for staged political events, don't come to arizona. take your political theater to texas. do not bring it to my state. because in arizona, we're serious. we don't have time for your political games. we are not interested in you posing for the cameras. in arizona we are busy. just ask coc

there are many dozens of house republicans who want this bill and support this bill and a lot of them are on the armed services committee and a lot of them are on the foreign affairs committee. mike johnson has said he supports the aid for israel and supports the humanitarian aid and supports the humanitarian aid in aid for ukraine. they have also said they want to tied to the border and with trump hanging over their shoulders saying don't pass anything until i'm back in the white house, it's a very tough political calculation for them to make. we don't know how this will end but you articulated the case for the bill, the case against the bill is why send a bunch of money to protect ukraine's borders when we can protect our own. you will hear that from republicans this week or opposed to this thing. then there is the additional issue of deficit spending. we've got a $33 trillion debt so why are we piling more money onto that and saddling our kids with that debt burden? let's find offsets or other changes in the budget that would cover that. there will be a fierce opposition and we jus

what's in this bill? well, here's what the bill includes. let me just walk through some of the high points of it. it includes more border wall construction. under the 18-foot, 13-foot ballard-style definition, in locations set by president trump in those cases to build the call. it ends our catch and release issue. the vast majority of adults end up being held rather than being screen -- and being held -- screened there rather than being released. we add additional money for state, local, and tribal law enforcement to help with enforcement process. we have a tremendous increase in the number offize h. ice agents, the number of border patrol agents, more asylum officers, more immigration judges. we added detection equipment at our ports of entry to interdict fentanyl, one of the biggest threats to our nation right now. and we increased the sanction authority for the united states government to be able to sanction those ruthless cartels and members of cartels and those that facilitate them to be able to go after the fentanyl issue in the unite

so, this bill does leave a lot to be desired, but it is a compromise bill. it takes really important steps to get urgently needed aid to our allies and innocent civilians, and it was crafted to win bipartisan support. mr. president, i will be voting for this package because american leadership is on the line here, and because aid to our allies, including in ukraine and humanitarian aid to gaza, can not wait a moment longer. i have tremendous appreciation for the tireless effort my democratic colleagues put into negotiating away some of the worst and most partisan proposals. i'm not new to brokering deals here in the senate. and i understand that in negotiations you don't always get what you want. in fact, you never do. but i also know that after a bill passes you don't stop pushing for the progress you want to see, and that will be the case here. but when it comes to the bill before us, there is no reason, none whatsoever, for further drama or delay or partisanship. funding for ukraine, israel, and the indo-pacific all have overwhelming bipartisan support, a

>> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning at home. house floor now open for the day paving the way for votes on two articles of impeachment. time is of the essence. in the last week alone, illegal immigrants overwhelming cities with chaos and crime. one of those migrants charged in the beating of two police officers in new york expected back before a judge any time today. this as the d.a. presents evidence to a grand jury. all of this now adding pressure to that impeachment vote in the house. >> this is malfeasance. active neglect on the part of the secretary and since he won't do the honorable thing and resign, the house needs to hold him accountable by impeachment. the only choice we have. >> dana: over in the senate the border security bill all but breaks down facing bipartisan backlash. what will congress do now? aishah hosni live on capitol hill with more. >> good morning to you. the past 24 hours have been nothing short of stunning here. we knew the border deal was dead on arrival in the house. not likely to make it out of the s

and we need to bunch the ukraine and israel and border bill together into one bill, one bipartisan billt the bipartisan bill. of i'm asking the senate. i'm asking our house of representatives to do their job. finish. >> host: that's pamela in florida. one more call. ken's been waiting, allstead, pennsylvania. republican. good morning. >> caller: good morning, a-- i -- i apologize, i called the republican line, and i'm an independent. i apologize. i'd like to make two points. the word being ironic. i find it completely ironic that simultaneously they're trying to impeach mayorkas while also killing a border bill. that's a real head-scratcher. the other thing that's ironic is during obama's term, trump's hair a was always on fire about how obama wrote executive order, executive order, executive order, executive order. probably wrote more executive orders than donald trump. biden, in his inaugural speech, talked about bringing the country together. trying to do things in a bipartisan way. this bill, the border bill, was to be done in a bipartisan way. i was surprised how many republicans c

oh boy. >> bill: give it a shot. >> bill: close enough. >> dana: everybody stay safe.ownload the fox weather app on any streaming device. >> bill: it is threatening to throw a wrench in into the turnout for the special election. i don't see many folks out there. >> dana: a lot of people voted early. >> bill: probably, yes. but if you want to get a big push on election day. voters in the third congressional district. that flips in 2022 from the democrat to republican. george santos was the republican. then he was kicked out of d.c. so the race is being very closely watched as a harbinger for november's elections. that's new york as you look at your screen right now. >> dana: the biden campaign up and running on tiktok even though the biden administration ordered the chinese-owned social media platform banned from federal devices over national security concerns. the decision causing a fuss among both sides of the aisle. joining us is mike gallagher of wisconsin, chairman of the house select committee on china. china must have loved this news, congressman. >> every single

this is not an antifirst amendment bill. this bill adds four words to existing law. it does absolutely nothing unprecedented. it only expands coverage of cyst ing protections to include i.g.o.'s. it is not discriminatory but prevents discriminatory actions against israel and other countries friendly to the united states so as to not undermine u.s. foreign policy. i.g.o.'s like the united nations continue to impose one-sided and bias policies against the state of israel. you cannot wait until after the fact to protect israel and the jewish people, as we saw on october 7. the e.u. doesn't maintain a similar black list. there have been e.u. efforts to create one and other initiatives at the e.u. just last year, in february of 2022, activists launched a campaign to propose a new law to stop trade. the campaign didn't reach the amount of signatures it needed to be brought before the e.u. commission. now let's be clear. the b.d.s. movement is antisemitic. it is one tactic in a campaign to delegitimize and isolate the state of israel and applies a double standard to israel.

and in our view, it's an immigration bill. not a border security bill.e have to secure that border. we have an obligation to do it. it's an moral obligation, it's a legal and constitutional obligation. the white house has done this by design. they intentionally enacted these policies, remember, we documented over 64 incidents where the president himself and his agencies have used executive authority to create the current situation. to create the situation and catastrophe. he could unwind those now stroke of a pen. president biden could fix this but he does not want to do it. i think this is going to be a price to pay at the election. >> laura: the border patrol union has said, come out and said the bill is better than the status quo. does that effect your thinking on this? >> well, i think it does have something to do with the pay structure that's in the bill. i stand that they are desperate for measures that will assist. okay? we took 64 republicans down to the del rio sector down at eagle pass in early january. they told us from their own perspective t

bill. it was a fair and long attempt led by senators murphy and zinn a ma -- sinema and lankford to come up with a compromise that both sides could accept. and if you think this is some kind -- you know, you listen to the right-wing media with, they say, oh, boy, this is just a concoction by liberal democrats? if well, "the wall street journal" editorial page, the point of conservative -- fount of conservative thinking, supported the bill. the president of the border patrol council is, who almost inevitably sides with donald trump, said pass the bill. the claim a bear of commerce -- chamber of commerce, whose head is very close to trump, said a pass the bill. any objective observer who cares about this country, its security, its future said pass the bill. but not our republican colleagues. not our republican colleagues. they kept moving the dates back. just get it done by christmas. oh, christmas, we need more time. lindsey graham said we need a delay of christmas and get the president invo

that's what the bill does. if you walk across the border today you can say i have fear in my country and you'll be released into the country for ten years. under this bill you walk across the border they say prove it. you have a higher standard of evidence. >> bill: if you enforce that it sounds good on its face. the other thing he said it builds more wall. this is a democratic president who would be signing this if it were to pass out of congress in its current form. when you spend the money on the wall is to be debated. a lot of that comes in 2025 and beyond. just on its face, governor, what do you like about what they have done inside this bill? >> i think anything that we're doing that makes it harder for people to just freely walk in. right now we have had under this administration completely and totally open borders. in the last month alone they picked up more people from the terrorist watch list than they did the entire four years of donald trump's presidency. so we have to put harsher and tougher restri

. >> bill: we want to share this with you. three multi-million dollar homes in southern california are teetering on the edge literally. this is dana point south of l.a. not quite the halfway -- south of long beach and huntington beach sought of there and north of san diego. it shows the mansions hanging on by an inch. heavy rain eroded the cliffs they sit on. the homes valued at a combined $43 million. >> dana: still? >> bill: good question. we await their fate and add up the numbers when it's all done. dana point, california, there it is. >> dana: fox news alert now house leadership about to take the stand for their weekly press conference. a lot at stake and why we'll take it today. they'll address in public for the first time since democrats took back a key seat in last night's high stakes special election in new york. the loss on long island is a major hit for republicans given the razor thin majority they have. >> bill: we'll see how they spin it. democrat tom suozzi won defeating republican mazi pilip. he will fill the s

the entire bill topples. here's a little background -- after four months of negotiations, including many meetings over several months working with our colleague from idaho, senator crapo, our colleague from massachusetts, congressman neil, chairman smith of the ways and means committee and i agreed on a bill that brings together republican and democratic priorities. republicans wanted a set of tax cuts for business. democrats were willing to accept those because many of those tax cuts will help small businesses and help our country compete with china by promoting research and development. so, democrats said we'll work with the republicans on those proposals in exchange for an equal investment in kids and fam families. we fought for the largest expansion of the child tax credit we could get. our bill immediately helps 16 million kids from low-income fam families. the laws on the books, madam president, i think you and i talked about this when you came to the senate to join us, the laws on the books today discr

waiting on chad to give us the information the text of the bill we do not have the text of the bill butith the rumors we have been hearing is that this will be mass amnesty. 5000 illegal immigrants a day compared to 10,000 right now. anything short of shutting down the border. shutting down free hotel rooms shutting down free credit card for illegal aliens are coming into this country. anything short of that is going to have problems in the house. i can tell you right now folks on both sides of the isle when i talk to voters and constituents throughout south carolina both democrats and republicans are frustrated with joe biden's posturing on this. they are frustrated with the amount of free money for education free healthcare these illegals are getting and being encouraged to come to this country americans are angry what's happening in this country their anger at the biden administration. anything shy of shutting it down is not going to pass muster for a lot of america right now seeing it on the ground in south carolina you are hearing about it and sanctuary cities across the country ri

but in fact, this bill, there's no remain in mexico in this bill.ed the senator about that. i asked the senator that. the house rules committee is voting overnight to send the case against alejandro mayorkas meanwhile, the homeland security secretary, to the full chamber for a floor vote that could come as early as today. homeland security committee chairman mark green spoke during the hearing yesterday. listen to this. >> secretary mayorkas' job is to secure the homeland, enforce the law. he failed to do either of those things and must be held accountable. what is the point of us being here? what's the point of congress if we allow the executive branch to ignore the laws we pass. if we don't hold officials accountable, there are no longer in any checks and balances. that's not a constitutional republic. that's the road to tyranny. the case is compelling. the evidence is in indisputeabl. secretary alejandro mayorkas must be impeached. maria: it's all indisputeable. for the last year and-a-half, mayorkas actually looked at the senators and the republ

so what's the bill do? what does this compromise bill do for america? it funds $20 billion in security for the southern border for manpower, for technology, and to attack the fentanyl crisis. which is a scourge on this country. it includes the fentanyl act which puts serious harm to china's wallet for putting the precursor elements to fentanyl into mexico. it changes the asylum laws. it raises the bar exponentially and stops folks who come to the border illegal lay from gaming the system -- illegally from gaming the system. it requires -- it requires the president to shut down the border when they can't handle the people. look, don't take my word for it. the national border patrol council, some 18,000 border patrol agents have endorsed this bill. these are the folks that are charged, by the way, with keeping our border safe. the acting director of customs border protection endorsed this bill and said it would provide the strongest set of tools that we've had in decades. the chief of the u.s. border patrol said on fox news, and i quote, this bill that wo

this bill, this agreed-to bill, this bipartisan bill that is being considered here this afternoon, was an effort by both sides to limit the number of people coming across the border at any given time. it gave new authority to the president of the united states to cap and limit the number of people crossing the border at a given time. when those on the other side say we don't need this bill, that is legislative authority that the president currently doesn't have and was included. there were billions of dollars in investment in technology to stop the flow of not only those who were undocumented and illegal, but also the flow of fentanyl into the united states. just to name two major features of this bill, it had many provisions hammered out over months of negotiation. those of us who came back this week said we're finally going to do something on the border, and the good news is it's bipartisan. senator lankford has signed off on it and the other two senators representing the democratic side of the aisle signed off on it as well. and we were prepared to see this pass and hoped for the be
