>> todd: 14 democrats voting with republicans to pass a resolution condemning president
2:15 am
biden immigration policy, it blames president biden and mayorkas of purposely violating immigration laws by refusing to detain migrants at the border. it was introduced by monica delacruz, who says current state of our border security is unsustainable. policies put forth by biden is the worst security crisis in our history, endangering our securities and straining our resources. >> carley: we are waiting to see if the senate will consider the laken riley act passed by the house last week. it requires to detain illegal immigrants charged with crimes and here is what senate democrats have to say about it. >> another bill the house moved quickly on. i haven't heard much in the senate, they passed it with sizeable democratic support, the laken riley, is that something they should look seriously at?

2:17 am
down to one thing, equal justice under the law. what has happened, whether what happened yesterday in the explosive robert hur testimony. reiterating my thoughts when the hur report was brought out. you have to charge and layout the violation of the crime. we are not going to charge him, he is weak or kindly or jury won't convict him, that is not his job. if that is the case, as i said on february 8th, if you are not going to charge him, he is not fit to stand trial and not fit to be president of the united states or commander-in-chief. now the laken riley act, similar situation, you have failure to actually uphold our laws and now we have to pass an act to get
2:18 am
democrats to bring people to justice by detaining them. had new york state not had law in place that prevented detainment of this illegal immigrant, laken riley would be alive today, he was released by law under governor cuomo. he would have been detained and laken riley would be alive today. an innocent woman. equal justice under the law is what we need to see. >> carley: in terms of substance on the laken riley act, it would make sure illegal immigrants who commit crimes are placed in ice custody after serving, what would that mean for sanctuary cities? >> sanctuary cities would be eliminated and counties, section 287 g allow local municipalities to act in the place of ice to
2:19 am
detain and determine criminality and had we done that in new york city, this could have been done. leticia james, attorney general, threatened to prosecute counties who accept this. one county in new york which actually opted into the statute that would have saved laken riley. the democrats know this is wrong, know this is about crime, they are refusing to stand up on this issue and i think it account cost them the election. this is the election issue, border and crime. >> carley: republicans need all the votes they can get when it come to republican priorities like border and crime. congressman ken buck announced he is retiring 19of next week. party breakdown, 218 to 213, republicans can only afford to
2:20 am
lose two votes on a party line vote. what does that mean for republican primaries in the house? >> it has been difficult with divided government right now, we are not unified as we need to be. strongest thing is to stick together. every time a republican gets on the floor or in public and bash the republicans for work that speaker johnson is doing, chuck schumer, senate majority leader from new york, can rest easy knowing we're divided and they can continue to get their priorities and we cannot get ours. we will not get home runs with a two-seat majority. it will put us in jeopardy. i can't stress enough, if we don't stick together as republicans, we're last line of defense. republican in house are last line. >> carley: votes matter. you have to wonder what mike
2:21 am
johnson's reaction was when buck told him he was retiring next week. thank you for waking up, have a great day. >> thanks, you, too. >> todd: need to go on that diet. >> carley: nick saban weighing in on major college athlete controversy as lawmakers consider legislation to,allow them to get paid for name, image and likeness. >> all the things that i believed in for all these years, 50 years of coaching, no longer exist in college athletics. it was always developing players and helping people. >> carley: former n.f.l. player jack brewer works with kids and will weigh in next. >> todd: first annual battle of the badges. first responders from nypd and fdny squaring off in a boxing

>> this lengthy and independent investigation resulted in complete exoneration of joe biden. >> it did not -- that does not appear in the report. >> it is my case. did you reach conclusion this
2:43 am
man was out right innocent? >> that conclusion is not reflected in my report. >> todd: democrats trying to spin robert hur's testimony to exonerate president biden and criticize president trump. they did good enough job only for their friends in the media. >> not a good day for trump fanatics on the house judiciary come the and not a great day for their star witness. >> i side with hakeem jeffries, it is over and done. >> reality here is that the only reason joe biden accidentally taking classified documents with him, only reason that matters at all is because donald trump willfully purposely took classified documents with him when he left office. >> todd: joe concha is fox news contributor. joe, i'm scratching my head at everything i heard from the media, your reaction to the
2:44 am
reaction? >> joe: robert hur, if we watch that testimony yesterday was flawless in terms of testimony. democrats threw everything at him to paint him as a road partisan, part of the maga movement. instead they focused on donald trump, that is not what this was about. defending joe biden is like defending the indefensible. nine in 10 americans do not believe he has mental fitness to be president. you can read the transcript, the president's words when he had to ask when he began being vice president or couldn't remember the year his son died, which by the way, as transcript shows, joe biden approached that topic.
2:45 am
robert hur brought it up because it was part of joe biden's book. he said i'm sorry for your loss. this is beef some have with robert hur. how can one come to the conclusion joe biden is too senile to run trial, but gets to run the country. was he senile when he had no ability to declassify documents? we heard how great the state of the union was last week by the same people in the media. this was worst received state of the union in 25 years. genius is media who are totally subjective. turns out joe biden is polling worse than before the state of the union. go figure. >> todd: what stood out to me, everybody spins, there are also lies and what we heard yesterday on capitol hill coming from democrats and perpetrated and
2:46 am
propagated by democrats in the media were continuations of that lie. pramila jayapal said he was exonerated. robert hur said the opposite, nowhere in my report did it say he was exonerated and gaetz got robert hur to admit joe biden lied, yet you heard that nowhere. media supposed to report on facts, joe. >> joe: used to be that way, k kronkieshgsz te . they will say whatever the audience needs to hear. how is that compelling programming when one show says one thing and the next show and next. why can't people be objective and stand out at a network and
2:47 am
say, this is what happened and this is why you should care in way maybe you get mean tweets from viewers and a dirty look in the break room, but you did your job. i agree, it is long gone at this point. so predictable this would be reaction like after the state of the union last week. >> todd: they could have taped it in advance before the hearing. joe concha, thank you for your time. united airlines telling boeing to stop producing the max tens after another delay in getting the model certify by faa. southwest and alaska cutting flighting and delivering fewer jets during the criminal probe. >> todd: cheryl casone has more. >> cheryl: good morning, on the heels of that incident in mid-air, the j.p. morgan conference was happening and

bathroom and stewardesses walking, many were hurt. there was a lady in the seat behind me with a baby. i saw the baby fly. it was terrible. >> cheryl: yeah. bad on thissen pla. another passenger thought he might lose his life on the flight. >> it dropped and then the plane went like this, did a nose dive. i thought, i just looked out the window and said, all right, this is it, you know. we're done. >> cheryl: that same passenger talked to "wall street journal" and basically said that the pilot after the incident came into the cabin and that 61-year-old canadian said the pilot said his instrument panel had gone black for a second or two. this is the passenger recounting what the pilot said to him. it went dark before lighting up
2:50 am
again. for the split second, the pilot said there was nothing he could do. >> carley: this is more than turbulence? >> cheryl: does not seem like turbulence. that passenger said you know when you hit turbulence and he told the journal, boom, out of the blue the plane headed down and everyone went up. they are saying it was technical issue and took the black boxes from the plane, you don't do that if it is turbulence. this is the investigation. last year was the safest year for flying and no fatalities on any passenger jets. but all issues at boeing and the whistleblower, self-inflicted wound that killed himself. the stock shares of boeing are down 29% year to date.

another app. and that there be some continuity of data protection but, again, i think that this will continue to operate. this is not without precedent. in the past the u.s. government has actually required chinese companies to divest themselves of other social media apps. one of them was a popular apt called grinder which had very sensitive information about u.s. government and military officials with regard to their lgbtq status and the trump administration successfully got the chinese to sell it. there was no disruption in service. and the sale happened like that because it was a valuable social media app. just like tiktok. >> todd: carley mentioned biden, you mentioned trump. but that fellow on this one is really strange. you once had trump try to outright ban it now kind of supporting tiktok and biden who endorsed your bill, mind you, but whose campaign still uses tiktok actively.
3:00 am
in 30 seconds, congressman, what is your message to the two men running to be our next president? >> well, look, i think with regard to former president trump, one of his biggest concerns is whether meta would basically acquire tiktok and i think regulators probably would not allow that because of antitrust concerns. with regard to president biden, look, i don't have tiktok on my personal phone. it's banned from government devices. it's legal to have but i would just tell everyone to please exercise caution with regard to this app. unfortunately, the ccp has access to data as well as can manipulate the algorithm that creates the content of tiktok. >> carley: we are going to be watching this all very closely. and working closely with congressman mike gallagher. bipartisan is just a in this case thing, right? a good change. >> todd: great to see in congress and on "fox & friends first." we thank you for your time, congressman. with that -- >> carley: "fox & friends" starts right now. have a great day
