>> brian: it's 8:00 on the east coast, february 14th, valentine's day. add this, ash wednesday. this is "fox and friends." we'll tell you what is in the show, an alert, first time in 150 years, secretary mayorkas second cabinet member to ever be impeached. >> this vote, 214-213 and the resolution is adopted. >> brian: senate preparing to put him on trial. >> steve: and democrat tom suozzi of third district in new york won to replace george

santos. leader steve scalise faces razor-thin majority and outlines the republican agenda this here. >> ainsley: and last-minute treats or gifts you can pull off for your special lady or man. remember, mornings are better with friends. >> brian: that's what i hear. fox news alert, dhs secretary mayorkas impeached over the border crisis. he's terrible. first time cabinet secretary has been impeached in 148 years. >> ainsley: proceedings moving to the senate. >> steve: lucas tomlinson is live in washington. yesterday's exercise really symbolic because he's not going anywhere. >> lucas: most likely not, steve, first time in 150 years.

willi william bellknapp. early next month house will send articles of impeachment to the senate. the trial must begin day after the senate receives articles and trials run monday through saturday and hold a full trial or move to dismiss or have votes on convicting or exonerating mayorkas and could send articles to committee for view then a vote to exonerate mayorkas or dismiss charges. here is reaction from the house last night for first time since 1876. >> i'll be surprised if they didn't try to rush it. everyday we talk about the border is bad for their guy. >> look at the polling, they

know border security is the number one issue. >> look at egregiousness, breach of trust on multiple times. >> lucas: steve scalise will be coming up shortly, he probably enjoyed celebrating mardi gras before lent starting today. >> steve: great point. just a year ago, republicans did not have the number of yes votes for impeachment. and lawrence jones is joining us. members in districts, 18, that joe biden won. politically inopportune that is why they waited until now. yesterday steve scalise who has been undergoing blood cancer treatment showed up and brian mast is trying to fly to

washington to make the vote, he never made it because of a mechanical problem. >> ainsley: that shows how important the votes are, it only passed by one vote because steve scalise was there. there are three who say they will not vote for impeach moonfor high crime or misdemeanor. that is ken buck. he says he is the worst secretary in history, not a high crime or misdemeanor. >> lawrence: it shows republican party has no ability to read the moment and understand what voters want. i am sick of what politicians vote for what they feel instead of what voters think. i personally like matt gallagher, to see numbers coming across the border and be head of select committee on china and

not be able to vote for impeachment with person overseeing the border is tone deaf to republican voters, that is why you see this split within the party. i am hoping as they prosecute the case, they unify and come up with a cohesive message that is reflective of what voters are saying, not just republican, independent and some democrats. >> brian: so wrong for democrats, if -- unless your name is henry cuellar. henry cuellar is only democrat that said the border is broken and i want to fix it and no one wants to talk to him on the left. the cbp tells bill melugin, they are seeing more -- how do you

get out of china, pack a bag, grab your family, land in south america and walk across in that society? i don't know if you heard, they tend to be oppressive in china, if they don't want you to leave, you usually can't. i get it. my sense is there is something else going on here. >> steve: perfect argument why we have seen so many. in fiscal year 2021, only 450 chinese in all and now 20,000 since october and roller bags are key. chinese are flying directly to tijuana and taking an uber to the wall and squeezing through the wall, getting on the other side and calling uber, and

starting life in america. it is out on social media and everybody knows and that is why chinese people are coming. >> ainsley: that guy with the face tattoo, i'm going to let him in my house. >> brian: neck. because i want to take -- >> ainsley: i'll let you sleep in the bed next to my daughter. >> brian: you can come live with me, can i pat you down first? you don't want me to, okay. let me know your sleep schedule. make your house into a bed and breakfast. >> lawrence: they can have that point of view, average american, they are not buying it. their kids are being kicked out of rek centers and health centers are being closed down. they can't keep institutions

open because of lack of funding, they are open when a need to house migrants. i think politicians are married to the idea, they will not back off on it. it would be political disaster. average day american doesn't like this. >> brian: every sane american doesn't like this. do you mind if i take mr. and mrs. stranger into our house for a while and feed them three meals per day. maybe drop them off at school. maybe they have hobbies we can help them participate in. lovely place to live. thanks mr. and mrs. representative. >> steve: i hope after this suggestion they do that, they release number of people who open their homes. when we get that information, we would like to talk to those people about what it is like to have those people. >> ainsley: steve, you have

three empty bedrooms now. >> brian: if you only lived in boston. okay. >> steve: let's talk politics. >> brian: a special election yesterday, not special if you are republican. tom suozzi heading back to the house after defeat mazi pilip. >> steve: taking over the seat vacated by george santos. >> we had good early return result in early voting and absentee ballots and weather gets better later in the day. >> ainsley: 219 republicans and 213 democrats with three vacancies. >> steve: one thing she was running on was border, he was running on the border, too, he is a democrat and said we have

to do something about it. joe biden needs to close the border. then a ton of dough was spent on behalf of him by super pacs telling people that she was anti-abortion. if you want to protect abortion rights, vote for him. democrats used abortion as an issue and once again republicans lost. >> brian: republicans have hope, she is jewish, fought for idf, came from great immigrant story, seven children. husband is ukrainian, became a cardi cardiologist. she is strong on the border. should she embrace donald trump more? she was ambivalent on trump. let me focus on my race, it is a

purple area and donald trump blasted her on truth social. i don't know who this lady is, basically. >> steve: he said she lost because she did not endorse him. >> lawrence: the real problem, why give up the seat to begin with. you have rashida tlaib who embraced hamas and keeps her seat and bowman pulled an alarm and gets to keep his seat. i understand people criticize george santos, you should allow voters to decide. democrats stay together and republicans voted to get rid of a member, great job, you lost the seat and you can't get anything passed. >> brian: santos is a fraud. >> steve: ethics report was scathing. >> brian: nothing is worse than menendez. >> ainsley: if you do it to a republican, do it to democrats,

too. >> steve: menendez in my state of new jersey. >> lawrence: republicans side with democrats all the time, democrats never do. they never do. >> ainsley: they always stick together and unify no matter the story, if most horrendous thing in the world, they unite. >> brian: wouldn't be surprised if people who voted for santos feel burned, he lied about who he was and what he did. that made it hard for mazi pilip, who is relatively a rookie on this big stage. republicans in nassau came out against santos. i don't think kevin mccarthy would have done this, laid out until the end of the term and let him get primaried. >> steve: democrats flipped a seat and now house speaker has a

two vote cushion, three people say no, something fails. more on that throughout the morning. talk about the weather. janice dean forecasted yesterday would be snowy and it was. >> janice: and now it is gone. my friends from hong kong are here. you watch fox news? >> yeah, i love fox news. >> do you have favorites? >> hannity, "fox and friends," especially steve. i love him. >> say hi to your dad who watches, too. you are on a trip, democratic and florida. how was new york? >> i love it. >> janice: so awesome. look at the forecast, we had a lot of snow. bronx, 6.1 inches. central park, 3 inches. another shot for snow in the

weekend. heavy rain along the coast and mountain snow. tossing back to steve or everyone? steve has fans here. >> hi, steve. >> it is everybody. >> brian, too. >> brian: thanks. >> i love everyone at "fox and friends." >> brian: i got to do a better job winning over people in hong kong, i'm not popular in hong kong. they like steve. >> ainsley: her dad watches you. >> brian: hong kong is the hotbed, am i right? since the british signed it over. >> ainsley: carley, please take it over. >> carley: fox news alert, one migrant suspected to be involved in the attack on two nypd officers in time square last month is a suspect in keksz to a queens robbery. police are looking to question the 19 year old after a group

stole from a macy's department store and attacked a security officer. one of the four migrants initially arrested for the nypd attack and released without bail. the stock market looking to bounce back following the worst day in months. consumer prices rose more than expected. charles payne drove us to discuss. >> this was not news on main street. rent is not going down, home insurance through the roof, not coming down. >> ainsley: market set to open in an hour. dow futures in the green. in massachusetts, close call for ambulance during yesterday's snow storm. emergency vehicle traveling down i-95 when a car comes careening from the other side of the road,

flipping over multiple times and barely missed that ambulance. the driver of the car, 17-year-old boy, not seriously hurt. thank you, god. today is valentine's day and ash wednesday and catholic users debating how to use both holidays. husband and i never go out on valentine's day. we will go out at some point and call it good. wahlberg joined us earlier. >> what better than ash wednesday following valentine's day. where do you get more love than with the lord and in a time with uch is disconnect. power of prayer is bringing people together. >> ainsley: if you plan to abstain from eating meat today, you have options, including fish, shrimp, crab, lobster, part of your balanced catholic diet.

>> steve: when i was growing up, my mom would take us to mcdonald's for fillet of fish. >> carley: ainsley, you did a great job. >> ainsley: i was nervous to interview jesus and mark wahlberg. i need a drink but i'm giving it up. >> brian: do they get along? >> ainsley: they love each other. >> brian: seemed like they were tight, how did they meet, hollywood? >> ainsley: maybe through the app, through hallow. >> steve: great team. download the app, very effective. meanwhile, the white house has a messaging problem, we've been talking about that for a while, last third degree after special counsel report came out joe biden read a statement and took questions and was in a ditch for next four or five days.

yesterday he made sure that will not happen this time. listen to this. >> president biden: good afternoon. before i begin, i will make this statement, i will not take questions, i'll take questions tomorrow or the next day. i don't want anything to get in the way about the statement to be blunt about it. >> steve: so don't yell questions, lawrence. >> lawrence: this shows president of the united states not ready still. they keep making the case it is ek equivalent to donald trump and this will work out for them. i think most americans can see the difference in the two. separate the policy and say you don't like donald trump. you know he is all there, the president is not. >> brian: he decided to take that moment to salute the senate

for passing aid and urged house to pass for ukraine and ripped donald trump for saying if you don't pay up, russia have at it. he made it pure politics and wanted to leave that out there. he didn't use the term maga, i don't know if he forgot, one of the first times i didn't hear him say maga. he said trump and he wants to take him on. >> steve: brian, i don't, the maga republicans urged that. >> brian: he referred to the house could say trump supporters, michael waltz said everybody knows if you watch that speech, he was not putting down nato, he was urging everybody in nato to pay their fair share. >> lawrence: and they got more funding, sorry ainsley, got more

funding as result of that. >> ainsley: story in "new york times" talks about the relationship between relationship between karine jean-pierre and john kirby. >> brian: we should have soap opera music under this. >> ainsley: we should. we interviewed him, seems so nice, doesn't seem like he would argue with anyone. apparently they interviewed anonymous people, this is part of the article. mr. john kirby privately acknowledged he would like to be named press secretary and expressed frustration that karine jean-pierre hit the reporters who asked him questions at briefings. when she got the job after jen psaki, president biden was on the truman balcony having a re70ion and mr. biden tried to

reassure karine jean-pierre not to worry about filling jen psaki's shoes. he said, you'll have an admiral looking over your shoulder. >> steve: larger point, white house is having a messaging problem and kirby has been given expanded role and we saw ian samms answering questions. >> brian: we have a problem in ukraine, and with secretary of defense has series of medical mishaps and not tell anybody and we need somebody with pentagon experience and kjp has none and not jen psaki on her feet. >> lawrence: on the merits of it, i kind of agree with kirby. he's doing the job already, answering questions outside of national security scope and

doesn't get the pay or title, if i'm him, i'm upset, as well. how would you feel if there is a major crisis in the white house and they choose you to come out there and clear the air and karine jean-pierre does job of intern and pick people to get questions, i would be outraged. >> brian: ainsley, go ahead. >> ainsley: she checks the boxes, you need to choose the person who does the best job. >> steve: whoeverdoes the job is responsible for getting the message out. there is a problem. we don't have a problem. we know you love "fox and friends," do us a favor, set your dvr on valentine's day for 6:00 a.m. eastern time, all three hours, later you want to see it, boom. >> brian: fast-forward my interview and get to lawrence in

the street in st. louis, that is what lawrence wants. >> steve: straight ahead, fox news alert, secretary mayorkas becomes second cabinet member to be impeached. steve scalise made the trip to washington just in time to vote, he is coming up shortly. >> ainsley: plus -- >> brian: "fox and friends" exclusive, city remains among most dangerous in the u.s., lawrence has that story and -- >> ainsley: love is in the air. >> steve: it is not in the air. >> brian: it is a fight scene. >> ainsley: another flight on a plane, we will tell you what started it. >> brian: another reason not to fly coach. litary does provid e . and as americans, we can do so much more. i started the comfort, peace and freedom foundation to help veterans define their personal vision and to build a future of success. a lot of them aren't looking to

what life after the military looks like until it's time, you know, within their last year to do that. ken, you wrote a bestselling book about taking advantage of blue collar careers. i wanted to make sure that we had a way for our returning veterans to see a really clear future for themselves and through the foundation, we can provide materials, we can provide training. courses and books that can help them focus and see what they want their life to look like. and then how to go about getting it. anyone willing to risk their life in defense of our nation deserves our support. your donation will help put educational resources, including my bestselling book, blue collar cash and my course into the hands of our veterans. visit veteransuccess.org now.

>> ainsley: back with headlines starting with fox news alert. navy conducting self-defense strikes against houthi forces in yemen. u.s. took out anti-ship cruise missile prepared to launch against ships in the red sea yesterday and later in the day navy tracked another missile and did not strike it down, it was not seen as an imminent threat. now two passengers have a brawl

on a flight. [bleep] [screaming] >> ainsley: both men were detained after the flight landed, unclear what started that fight. st. louis police department grappling with rising crime and vacancies on the force make it more difficult. >> cops crying to me, they risk their lives in highest crime areas and don't get paid, they get a paper check that bounces. the city is under 300,000, businesses are fleeing and constitutional rights are be,a

bridged. >> ainsley: lawrence is with ann dorn and roger murphy. good morning to all of you. >> lawrence: good morning, thank you so much. let's start with ms. dorn. cops not being paid, checks bouncing, what is it doing to the city? >> we are losing officers left is right, you can't recruit when that is happening. when cori bush calls for defunding the police, social workers don't go out by themselves, they are going out with a police officer, they are

not reducing manpower, they are giving them other jobs that are taking them away from the street. they are not seeing police out there. >> lawrence: detective, you have kids carrying ar's and they are shooting and stealing and social worker will not solve this problem. >> a social worker will not stop, that is there for when kids are younger. at the point of carrying guns, no social worker will not help that. they are told it is okay. st. louis politicians and individuals running the city are telling them, it is okay, nothing will be done to you. go off with what ann was saying about paychecks bouncing and retirees are having a hard time

with medical insurance not being paid by the city. that is another thing. nobody wants to be a policeman anymore. it is out of control, this has been in last 5-10 years. >> lawrence: this led to the death of your husband, fleckless leadership. >> called for a stand down of police officers while people are being shot, what city does that? your city is being destroyed, you go in full force and get more officers. they allowed it. i have said before, it is the purge, like one night of free-for-all, commit whatever crime and you will not get in trouble and none of them did, they were released. >> lawrence: back to you in new york. >> ainsley: thank you, lawrence. coming up issue for gen-z, the cold rush is in texas.

before you consider drastic weight loss measures with dangerous side effects, like surgery or pharmaceuticals, try golo. (kevin) my doctor prescribed a weight loss drug, but as soon as i stopped taking it, i gained all that weight back and then some. i lost 210 pounds with gastric bypass surgery, only to gain it all back. with golo, i have completely transformed my relationship with food. whether you need to lose 10, 20, 50, or over 100 pounds,

lose it the right way with golo. when my doctor gave me breztri for my copd things changed for me. breztri gave me better breathing, symptom improvement, and reduced flare-ups. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed. breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain,

mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. ask your doctor about breztri. >> steve: you see them on "fox and friends" when they go off the wall and now they are going off the grid. we have pete hegseth and will cain. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: peter, start with you, this is your idea. >> peter: it is will and i's idea together. we love going deep on a topic and will is in texas during the week and i'm in tennessee. i'm working on getting off the

grid, i'm not fully off the grid yet, this segment is about pulling off the news grid in america, in washington and new york city and coast and hollywood. will and i want to talk about what is our neighbors talking about, tennessee and texas. >> steve: fantastic and i'm from kansas right in the middle. will, start with you, this first "off the grid" segment is how texas is number one destination for gen-zers. zillow says gen-zers are choosing texas more than any other state. my daughter sally chose texas and she lives within close to you. >> will: it is embarrassing, we

are number one, we need a belt buckle with a big number one made, no one has ever done that before. it is testament, it sounds trite, it is economic freedom. economic boom for almost couple of decades now, 20 or 30 year because of low regulation and low taxes and with covid we understood cost of freedom. i don't want to wear a mask. i don't want my business shut down. that is life people want to have, including gen-zers. >> steve: people go, people are moving to florida, look at this chart, 76,000 gen-zers and only

41,000 to florida and list goes on and on. pete, will has not heard kansas city chiefs are not from texas. >> pete: he's in the tank. it was davy crocket that came to rescue taxes at the alamo, america remembers that. i do tip my hat to texas. here is math for everybody. this is what the graph of tennessee population growth looks like, 7 million. this is graph of texas's population growth is like, about 30 million, a lot bigger. this is graph of california's growth looks like because of covid, that is not what a good graph looks like. that is ultimately, i can give you anecdotally, our church, our pastor, half the church is from

california. you are running from lunacy. half my school, california implants. some people are flying over texas and making their way to tennessee, which is zero income tax state like florida. lots of option, people voting with their feet. economic freedom is a real thing and a lot of people moving off the grid and getting cows. >> will: i don't want this to be a brag session, steve, i don't want to allow misinformation, kansas city chiefs were once dallas texans and owned by a dallas family, the hunts and never thought pete hegseth would argue with me over ownership of davy crocket. this is sad. >> tennessee titans used to be -- we stole your team, just saying. >> steve: i love this segment, off the grid and at each other's

throats. thank you for joining us live. you be the judge, where would you move? fox news alert, secretary mayorkas impeached and democrat tom suozzi won a special election in new york. he's a democrat. house majority leader steve scalise on both topics coming up next. but i got jesus here, and we were wondering if you might want to pray with us. well, not the actual jesus. obviously, but let's spend some time with the real one. lord jesus. we take this moment today to simply be with you. we are lost. we are broken. but we are not alone. help us to grow closer to you. this lent, jesus name we pray. amen. join us in prayer. this lent on hallow.

>> brian: fox news alert for first time in 150 years, secretary mayorkas second cabinet member to be impeached. house majority leader steve scalise. first off, great to see you, how do you feel? >> i feel great. it is great to be back here and with you. i went through extensive treatment for cancer. had stem cell implant and it was successful and my doctor said, it is safe to travel. i had to be in isolation for a while, now i'm able to get back here and it made a difference last night and important to get that done.

>> brian: whether they are shooting at you or cancer, nothing stops you, very inspirational for everybody. you came in for the vote, impeachment is done. goes to senate, they will probably get rid of it right away. what was accomplished? >> it made it clear the border matters to us and secretary mayorkas has failed miserably. he's come to congress and misled and lied under oath and saying the border is secure when everybody knows it is not. we passed heart attack r 2 that would secure the border, if the president and secretary does not want to do it, if the senate doesn't care, the american people care about it. they are sick and tired of every city in america being a border town. >> replace him with somebody

better, we care and will keep fighting for secure border. >> brian: tom suozzi is coming back, beat pilip to fill george santos speech, was it a mistake to kick out george santos, to begin with? >> i didn't support it, it is between him and the voters. tough loss last night, special election is different, different turn-out model, joe biden won by eight points, it is not a big red republican district. we would like to have won it. we will win that seat back. >> brian: one of the big stories is tony bobulinski, hero of the hunter biden investigation who has come forward with impeccable career and called out bidens and

got behind closed doors in front of house leadership for hours and he stood tall and told the truth and said joe biden was more than participant and beneficiary, he was an enabler. he is the big guy. he produced the text messages. i don't know what happened behind closed doors, what can you tell us? >> that is why we're doing this impeachment inquiry, having somebody like bobulinski, who was business partners with hunter biden and watched the flow of the money. big guy term was coined by bobulinski, he knew joe biden was getting a cut of the money from chinese and ukraine companies. it is important to make sure facts are locked down tight and he is helping us.

>> brian: yep, he met with the people and met with joe biden and knows he is involved and hopefully the truth will come out, he risked a lot comeings forward. hope you are okay, great to see your smiling face this morning. >> great to be with you and be back. >> brian: stay healthy, still ahead, if you need last-minute valentine ideas, that is why we're here. check in with dana perino who will tell you what is happening in the world. >> dana: i will tell you. good to see representative steve scalise. the speaker is live at 10:00 a.m. and is that a big deal or nothing here to see? plus three blue collar workers on what the economy is like out there and how dangerous to get medical advice from tiktok?

>> that's right. if you are having valentine's day at home, with your friends, family, i have you guys covered. nothing says i love you like a board. how do you make one? three to five different cheeses. all cheese on the board is from the state of wisconsin, the state of cheese. they've won the most awards out of any other state or country for cheese. everybody -- every cheese from there will be delicious. >> ainsley: look how she cut the apples. >> these are envy apples, red skin and the inside stays fresh and white longer. there is more. cocktails or mock tails from ordinary to extraordinary. fun ice cube molds. hearts on roses. put your favorite sparkling wine on there. fun. really fun and easy.

>> ainsley: great for showers, too. >> these are heart-shaped dinners. pizza in the shape of a heart. pepperoni in the shape of a heart. heart-shaped chicken nuggets here. you can get them right in the freezer section of your supermarket. then you have some mac and cheese in bowls and delicious wind all under $25 from the washington state wineries you can get. >> steve: today not only valentine's day and ash wednesday but the chief's parade. >> brian: i see they told taylor swift not to go. >> the courage of our house republicans should be applauded. the best way to get rid of mayorkas is to fire joe biden. it is time for the american people to
