a word even though patrick mahomes could have given the flu to everybody. he actually had it. dana, that's actually how we treated illnesses in sports for my whole life. michael jordan is even more famous than he otherwise would be because of the so-called jordan flu game. we expect athletes, when they are not playing 100%, to step it up and put it on the line in big games even if they are ill, even if they are throwing up and even if they have the flu. that's been the expectation for a long time. i think what djokovic did was stick to the long-term expectations which are athletes know their bodies better than anybody. if they want to play, then they should be able to play. it wasn't just joe -- there were athletes in different sports. when novak won. what immediately happened when

he won the u.s. open? they had the moderna shot of the day. novak, it was sponsored by moderna. you couldn't make it up. merry christmas early to everybody. >> dana: you, too. [gunfire] . >> dana: heavy fighting in gaza as israel presses ahead with the war against hamas. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. we have hour two. >> bill: how are you doing, good? first hour went quickly. the irony that you had the commercial. >> dana: there is some of that going around on other topics, too. >> bill: the biden administration by passing congress to rush through the sale of military supplies to israel after blocking a u.n. resolution calling for a cease-fire. this is happening as the israeli

defense forces push deeper into southern gaza ramping up attacks on remaining hamas strongholds. general jack keane earlier talking about the latest threat by hamas to kill all the remaining hostages unless israel meets their latest demands. >> they are implying they want a cease-fire. if they have a hostage exchange they will go into a cease-fire. israelis have claimed they have killed 6,000 or 7,000 of them or captured, most of them killed, some captured. that is going to continue. that is the pressure point here. they want a cease-fire to stop the military success that israel is having against them. >> bill: trey yengst begins our hour live in southern israel. trey, hello. >> good morning. over the weekend israeli forces pushed deeper into the gaza strip. this time targeting the neighborhood in the northern part of gaza. you can see here in this video

an israeli reconnaissance unit operating in that area engaged in close quarters combat. you are looking at the infantry brigades's battalion. 104 israeli soldiers have been killed and the fiercest battles continue across gaza-israel's prime minister netanyahu has this warning for hamas. >> in recent days dozens of hamas terrorists have been surrendering to our forces. they are laying down their weapons and handing themselves over to our heroic fighters. it will take no time, the war is in full swing. this is the beginning of the end of hamas. i say to hamas terrorists, it is over. don't die for sinwar. surrender now. >> he is talking about sinwar, the leader of hamas inside gaza. and while the activity remains high on the southern front, as does it on the northern front.

the border with lebanon where the chief of staff visited troops over the weekend. israel has set a deadline for attempts to reach a diplomatic solution with hezbollah. at this point israeli officials say they think the changess of a diplomatic solution are low. all the activity across the region taking place as international focus remains on the southern front with gaza. 137 hostages still being held inside the strip. we've been talking with palestinians today in the southern city of rafah who say things are increasingly tense as the entire part of gaza heads towards a humanitarian disaster. >> bill: here we go. sundown yet again in southern israel. good to see you, trey yengst reporting there. got a couple of things for you. >> dana: so there was a u.n. security council meeting and they tried to call for a cease-fire, got vetoed. here is congresswoman

ocasio-cortez. also single handedly vetoing the call for cease-fire and back the indiscriminate bombing of gaza. if we were to do die grappling of the sentences to point out all the things wrong with that it will take the rest of the hour. that's where she is coming from. a lot of people on biden's left, many of them, that's where they come from. >> bill: i think bernie sanders answered her question. >> i don't know how you can have a permanent cease-fire with hamas who have said before october 7th and october 7th that they want to destroy israel. they want a permanent war. i don't know how you have a permanent cease-fire with an attitude like that. >> bill: not wrong, he is not wrong. if you look at national security you have to eliminate the threat and that's what they are trying to do right now. it will take a few more weeks according to everything we're hearing out of israel. if you want israelis to move back into these towns in

southern israel they won't do it as long as hamas is still in gaza. so this is the effort that's now underway. see how long it takes. five minutes past the hour now. is this the first domino to fall? u penn president liz mcgill stepping down over the weekend over how she and the leaders at harvard and m.i.t. responded to anti-semitic rallies on campus. not just that but how they testified, too. billionaire bill ackman in two short words, one down. grady trimble live in philly with what may happen next. good morning. >> good morning, bill. what's next here is the university says liz mcgill will stay on until it names an interim president. and also remain a tenured faculty member at the university of pennsylvania. meanwhile, calls are growing this morning for the presidents of harvard and m.i.t. to step down as well. in cambridge, massachusetts, check out this video from fox

news digital. anonymous private funder paid to put these two billboard trucks near harvard calling for the firing of the president there. but the school newspaper, the harvard crimson, reports more than 500 faculty members have signed onto a letter urging the university's top governing body to resist calls to remove harvard's president claudine gay. members of congress say last week's hearing on anti-semitism on college campuses is just the beginning. the house has launched an investigation with subpoena power into u penn, harvard, m.i.t. and other elite university. >> we want to look at columbia, cornell and many other institutions. we don't want taxpayers dollars sent to places that have anti-seam advertisement. we'll take the investigation where it leads us and see what happened. >> even after liz mcgill and the

board of trustees at u penn resigned over the weekend, some students are saying they still don't necessarily feel comfortable on campus. that is what one jewish student told usa today. another jewish student told the "new york post" that professors and students at the university of pennsylvania are, quote, openly anti-semitic. there are questions about whether changes in leadership at the top level is enough to end the pervasive problem on college campuses. >> bill: grady trimble watching all that in philadelphia. >> dana: joining us now is a u penn student. it's great to have you back with us. we took your statement the other day on capitol hill and had you the next day and this government happened over the weekend. this is the letter from the resignation. u penn says on behalf of the entire penn community thank president mcgill for her service to the university and wish her well. mcgill says it has been my privilege to serve as president

of this remarkable institution and an honor to work with faculty. students, staff, alumni and community members to advance penn's mission. no apology or acknowledgement of wrongdoing. she is a tenured professor. she gets to keep a salary. what do you think about this development? >> i think it's just another example of failed leadership. i think leave with some sort of grace and huberous. on the other hand you can leave without acknowledging anything wrong that has been done and you can put out that statement. i think the facts speak for itself of what's happened over the past three months. and people can make their own conclusions as to whether it has been a positive and safe three months for students. >> bill: a law professor at your school wrote this long piece. i will read the headline. to fight anti-semitism on campuses we must restrict

speech. in that piece she explains why. do you get a sense this is a turning point on college campuses? >> i love that we are having the free speech conversation. i wanted to have it for a while, even having speakers who on campus might be -- have some what's called reservations towards jews. there is a clear difference between free speech and calls to violence, supporting terrorism, breaking policies. i think -- i do want to make it clear the distinction between the two. there is one penn club who has a history of vandalism. at their last rally they could see them holding a designated terrorist group's flag and they are currently sleeping in the student center and inviting outside members of the community. go to their instagram and see

comments people based out of ohio want to fly in to enter our student center. this is not free speech. the building closes at 12:00. you can't sleep there. and so i think people are all of a sudden acting like they are free speech warriors when they don't understand you can't break the rules and then just cite free speech as your excuse for why you shouldn't get in trouble. that's just ridiculous. >> dana: you filed a lawsuit this is before the resignation. does that lawsuit continue now? what do you hope to accomplish? >> just like the examples i stated, there is still a lot of work to be done. you install professors who have classes that are focusing on convicted terrorists and portraying them as -- i mentioned yesterday on fox that there is a professor at penn who compared protestants to al qaeda and said the u.s. and the rest

of the west should learn from al qaeda on their human rights, to learn the u.s. and al qaeda about human rights. this is scary stuff if this is what's being taught in the classroom and this is what students are learning, then it is no wonder the mess that you have on campus. because these are the students that they're educating and raising through the years and it is scary. no one should support terrorism. it is crazy this is even a conversation that we need to have in the u.s. after just how many brave men and women have sacrificed their lives so i can go to school and feel safe and yet now the problem for some reason is internal. the "new york post" article said cited a non-jewish student saying that penn, quote, has a serious problem with terrorism. >> bill: well, it's all been exposed now. thank you for coming back. >> dana: great to see you. have a good week. >> thank you so much.

>> bill: we'll get to tennessee, the deadly tornadoes ripping through two states. tennessee and kentucky, killing six, destroying a lot of homes. knocking out power. it's a really tough day down there today. get back there in a moment. plus this from sunday. >> i think it is time for the democratic party to turn the election not in a referendum on joe biden but to vividly point out what a donald trump presidency is going to mean. >> dana: democrats voicing alarm as president biden false further behind in the polls. >> bill: also they have to worry about hunter biden after his indictment on nine new tax charges. miranda devine is writing on what this all means and she will break it down only like she can next. >> right on cue our friends in the media remind us biden was suffering from addiction during that time period, which is both true and irrelevant. it's not a defense. not a legal one, at least. is all about presents and shopping and cookies and trees.

but we know christmas isn't about something you buy at a store. it's about something so much greater. it is the day we celebrate the incredible truth that god so loved the world that he gave his only son. it's not about presents. it's about jesus. join me this advent in praying every day on hallow. cut through the noise and find god's peace. for the better part of the century, harry and david has been making gourmet gifts that bring people together. to share

>> i think it's legally justified. this is a very trouble individual who has -- who has done things that are worthy of prosecution and so i look forward to that case continuing. >> dana: even democrats are admitting the new indictment against hunter biden is troubling. he is accused of evading more than a million dollars in taxes between 2016 and 2019. reaction from miranda devine is coming up. first david spunt is live to catch us up on the news from washington. >> the morning hunter biden and his legal team have two federal court fights ahead of them. in addition to some other cases, for example, one where the president's son is suing the internal revenue service. in this recent tax case out of california, the government claims between 2016 and

october 15th, 2020, the defendant meaning hunter biden spent this money on drugs,s escorts, and other items of a personal nature. everything but his taxes. now the charges over his taxes not really a surprise. special counsel david weiss said in a court document in august he would likely charge hunter for tax crimes in california or washington, d.c. after that plea deal fell through. he chose california where hunter biden has called home since 2018. here is hunter's attorney about an hour ago. >> did he file a false return and evade taxes? i'm ending where i started. yes or no. >> it's not a yes or no because you want to drill -- of course it's not. in order to file a false return that's actionable, the following things depending on the statute has to occur. it has to be willful, deliberate. hunter was late in filing and

paying taxes in certain years. that is a given. as are millions of americans who do the same thing. >> as you point out both republicans and democrats in the senate, the body that once included then senator joe biden from delaware, a member for decades say they are on board with these charges. >> i think hunter biden is going to be held accountable in court for any violations of the law that he has committed. >> if his name were anything other than biden, he wouldn't have been able to bilk millions of dollars from foreign entities. let's start there. >> hunter facing federal charges on a gun purchase from 2018 meaning he could face two trials next year the same year his dad is running to keep his job as commander-in-chief. >> bill: miranda devine has been writing about this story seems like for years now. thank you for coming back. tracking the money, years of wild spending on screen.

take your pick. 1.6 million withdrawals, various women, you go down the line, health and beauty, adult entertainment, and on and on it goes. you write today that the reason why joe biden is not mentioned or connected here is because of what the whistleblowers have said. what the whistleblowers have said is every time they took an accusation to a higher superior they were denied and you point out a search warrant of a cottage on joe biden's delaware estate was denied. a plan to search hunter's storage unit was leaked to his lawyers that gave them a heads-up. questions about the big guy not allowed. questions with biden family members were banned. can they do all that? >> well, they did and they got away with it. as well, the most serious charges that would have occurred in the 2014 and 2015 years that had to do with hunter's $1 million a year payments from

burisma and which might have ensnared his father, who of course was the vice president at the time and was point man for the obama administration is ukraine, those have just magically disappeared because david weiss and his team in delaware allowed when statute of limitations to expire. so there were just so many ways that the deck was stacked for joe biden and it looks nakedly like an attempt to protect the vice president, the future candidate for president, now president. and so i find it just ironic when the likes of the "new york times" say oh well, look, hunter biden might have been late on his taxes, minimizing the fraud, and -- but it has absolutely nothing to do with joe biden. i mean, it has everything to do with joe biden as some of your clips have just shown. hunter would never have earned any of that money if his father

had not been vice president and these favors were being sought by corrupt countries and adversarial countries. >> bill: in all your reporting do you know who was tipping off the biden family? >> well look, numerous people. there is supposedly an f.b.i. mole that tipped off hunter biden to these four sealed indictments in the southern district of new york that named his chinese partners. within the delaware u.s. attorneys office there was a prosecutor who is now been taken off the case, leslie wolf seemed to be the one tipping of hunter biden's lawyers that there was a search warrant coming up of the storage unit of his. somebody in the f.b.i. tipped off the biden transition campaign in december of 2020 that there was an i.r.s. agent and f.b.i. agent in california who were going the next morning

to interview hunter biden. needless to say they never got to interview hunter biden. >> bill: the story goes on. thank you so much for coming in today and we'll see what comes next. thank you, miranda, nice to see you today. dana. >> dana: the border spirals out of control, dhs officials making a stunning admission on the number of migrants released into the country every day. texas governor greg abbott is here to react. crunching the numbers on a christmas movie. why the home alone kevin mcallister would need a bigger budget. >> are these microwave dinners any good? i'll give them a whirl. for the kids. there's an old sayg in the navy that the toughest job in the navy is a navy wife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you've been the spouse at home, you understand what i'm talking about. your spouse has earned the right

>> bill: i want to take you to capitol hill now. we've been watching this during the commercial break. protestors that are calling for

a cease-fire in the middle east. keep in mind now between the white house and the senate and the house, they are in negotiations right now to figure out what the u.s. government will give israel. what we will give ukraine. and what will republicans get for border security in the american southwest? so all that within the context of what you are watching now. >> dana: aishah hosni with us. is this in the visitor center? >> the hart building, the senate building next to the building i'm in now, the russell building. these are three senate buildings and hart has a ton of senators who cel offices there. it is happening in the atrium. there is a giant sculpture where you see the sign that these protestors have hung from that sculpture.

fascinating here is that somehow some of these protestors have climbed up the sculpture and are on top of this sculpture that you see. it's very tall there. and i'm being told by one of the senate aids that alerted me to this also in the hart building sending me some of these videos, that several of these protestors have now been arrested. some of them have been carried out by capitol police because they were refusing to be escorted out of this building by them. another one being arrested on her feet. some of them i've seen in videos have been carried out almost like children you could say. but you can hear it right there and i'm being told it is extremely loud, which is, of course, a problem for all those senate offices that are just surrounding this atrium. this is happening as negotiations are ongoing on this global aid package for not only

israel, but also ukraine and republicans trying to get some sort of border reforms in place as well. i will tell you about that as we watch the scenes unfold here. i am told that lead democrat negotiator chris murphy says the white house will get more engaged in these talks and we will see some of that intensify this week. now you see right there what i am talking about having to carry these people out, guys, because they are refusing to walk and be escorted out with capitol police. they have to do that one-by-one. it looks like they are laying down and we have seen protests in previous protests in the capitol. they are pretending as if they are dead to obviously solidarity of the thousands of palestinian people that have been killed. they are wanting a cease-fire from several different senators and house members, but we've seen as you played that clip

earlier senator bernie sanders as well a progressive saying no to a cease-fire -- saying that israel has the right to defend itself, rather. this is just one of another number of protests we've seen on capitol hill. people creating chaos here on capitol grounds. >> dana: they feel like they are doing a lot but actually persuading no one. >> bill: dhs officials telling lawmakers they are releasing an average of 5,000 migrants into the country every day. texas governor greg abbott is here to talk about this and more. as we look at the numbers talking to griff jenkins last hour at eagle pass and bill melugin in lukeville, arizona every day last week. 5,000 into the country. that reaches into about 1.8 million illegal entrants in that time frame. so let me ask you this, governor. if you could negotiate

successfully with the white house and democrats in congress, what would you get to slow this down? or to stop it? >> sure. well, two things real quick. one is remember, president of the united states and administration have proven they can secure the border. it was just four years ago we had the lowest number of illegal border crossings in 40 years. that's because president trump put in place four policies. remain in mexico, title 42, end of catch and release and building a border wall. when biden came in, he eliminated all of those four policies. that said, republicans right now in congress are negotiating with the biden administration with policies that would provide extraordinary relief if not eliminate all of the illegal border crossings. they must hold fast and negotiate with the biden administration to achieve two things. one, to prohibit any asylum

offered to anybody that crosses between the ports of entry. second thing is they also must eliminate any asylum for anybody who does not seek asylum from the country from which they have left or from the first safe country they arrive in. those two policies would dramatically reduce any illegal immigration into the united states and would stop all of the visuals you are seeing on tv about the way people are crossing into our country illegally. >> bill: you are coming into an election year. i want to see if i can tie a few things together and get you to respond to this. president biden last week said he is open to significant compromises. secretary mayorkas over the weekend said that some of the proposals from republicans are reasonable and worthy of discussion. others he said are frankly not. however, you had all republicans in the senate stick together last week. do you -- and you know how much

this administration wants to help the war in ukraine and in israel for that matter. do you think finally you have reached a point where republicans, including yourself, can exact some change out of washington? >> so absolutely republicans can exact some change and the republicans in both the house and senate must hold fast right here and not give in. they must stand not just for more border funding. most of the border funding the biden administration is talking about does nothing more than provide more of a magnet to people to come here illegally. when need policy changes. policy changes that will stop people from crossing the border illegally into the united states. and i think the republicans hold the power position right now. they better not relent it. they better hold fast and make sure they do not let up until the biden administration finally puts into place policies that will stop illegal immigration into our country.

>> bill: in time we'll find out whether or not you're right. thank you for your time. we'll watch the images throughout the day and this week. they ain't going to end just yet. thank you for being here today. >> dana: incredible. ♪ >> bill: that is falling flat with fans. i liked it. today's hemmer celebrity news. prince william and kate middleton putting out the family christmas card. i think they look beautiful. royal watchers are less than impressed. some say it looks like they took the picture in a mall. others criticizing the lack of christmas decor. >> dana: it is artistic. it looks like an american family christmas. there is a lot of that. maybe people were looking for, you know, pizzazz. let's find out what martha maccallum thinks. we want to know.

you let us know what you think. >> bill: what would martha say? when we find out. >> dana: i think she would like it but why people wants more christmas cheer. new polling data showing trump way ahead of president biden and running away for the gop primary in iowa. voters aren't satisfied with the current administration on a number of issues to say the least. we'll break down the latest numbers right after this. don't go anywhere.

i'm sholeh, and i lost 75 pounds with golo. i went from a size 20 to a size 6. before golo, nothing seemed to work. i was exercising for over an hour every day. it was really discouraging. but golo's so easy, the weight just falls off. - bye, bye cough. - later chest congestion. hello 12 hours of relief. 12 hours!! not coughing? hashtag still not coughing?! mucinex dm gives you 12 hours of relief from chest congestion and any type of cough, day or night. mucinex dm. it's comeback season.

>> bill: this is the group that showed up in the senate hart office building on capitol hill.

they have been taken out one-by-one protesting the war in gaza. and you see the banner come up and each one individually is taken away with the zip ties and the hand of the officer you see with the white zip ties there. the live look, there is this big statue called mountains and clouds, a sculpture. i have to think it's at least 30 feet high. there is still one individual who is tucked away inside that sculpture. you see him with a helmet on. he is the remaining hold-out, it appears. stand by. there could be more. that was going on capitol hill as we speak here. dana. >> dana: just about one month until the iowa caucus. new polling shows trump running away with the lead surpassed 50% amongst republican caucus goers and ron desantis getting ahead of nikki haley. marc thiessen and marie harf. the iowa poll came out.

get you to react. 73% of iowa voters believe trump can win against biden. that's up from 65%. strange in a way, it seems to be what at least until recently democrats were focused on saying he will never be able to win and get support from republicans because of the lawsuits. apparently 73% of iowa voters said that's not true. >> that's exactly right. look, we're now on day 1053 of the biden presidency. if you look at the average. joe biden is the least popular president in the history of this country going back to the world war ii not named jimmy carter. it's also true before the 2022 mid-terms joe biden was the least popular president since world war ii and turned in the best mid-term performance of any president except for bush going

back to john f. kennedy in the six 0s. voters didn't like the alternative the republicans presented. so if we present them with an all turn -- they will have a choice between two candidates they dislikes for different reasons. they don't want a trump-biden rematch. if that's what they end up one party won't like the result. it could be the republicans. >> dana: or it might be the democrats. look at this from the "wall street journal" head-to-head. trump at 47%, biden 43%. dissatisfaction with biden call for number three year, 53% of the voters polled said they have been hurt by his policies, 61 disapprove of the job performance. do you think the white house or the campaign is figuring out a way to turn it around? they don't have a lot of time. >> well, there is a lot of time

left before the general election in the political calendar. polls this far out are concerning bust not predictive. the hope the biden campaign doesn't dismiss them and makes clear they need to make a better case to the american people why joe biden should get a second term. but my friend marc is right here. elections are choices, they are choices between two people. what is so interesting in some of those iowa polls, dana, is that there are a lot of republicans who actually don't want to vote for donald trump. they are just split among three, four or five candidates. we saw it in 2016 as well. if this election will come down to what, five states maybe a couple thousand voters in each of them, those are the kind of voters, independent swing voters who don't like donald trump who in 2020 and 2022 elected democrats because they did not like donald trump and his policies and how does that change if he is convicted of a crime between now and election

day? so look, i think democrats have to make their case. but if it's trump versus biden, i think democrats feel better about that match-up than some of the others. >> dana: give marc one last chance. she talked about electability against biden. nikki haley topped biden by 17 points, 51-34, right? that's compared to trump's 4-point lead and i know she will try to make her case. she might not be able to get there in the end but giving it a shot if president trump is that the far ahead. last word to you. >> i mean, i can ask marie who would you rather run against? trump than against nikki haley. what's interesting about the polls. if you look at them, if one party takes either trump or biden off the ballot, that party crushes the other party. so if you look at the "new york times" poll of the swing states, if you take biden off the ballot, he crushes -- the generic democrat crushes donald trump in all the swing states by

double digit. if you take trump off the ballot and put nikki haley on she crushes joe biden in all of the swing states. the voters are sending a very clear message to both parties and the question is will one of the that does listen is going to win. >> dana: thank you both. we have a little breaking news we want to get to. thanks. >> bill: check out this scene from gaza. so it is almost 6:00 in the evening. it is nightfall clearly. these flares used by the idf are shot into the sky and as they drift toward the ground they are used to light up the ground so that the idf can see if there are perhaps hamas suspects that they are looking for and this has really been the cycle that we've seen going back to mid october and they are back at it again on this monday morning. israel saying over the weekend that they may need into the first week or two of january

before the operation is complete. there is dissension among the ranks especially on the democratic party here in the united states. we played the sound bite from bernie sanders. he was unequivocal and said finish the job. and it looks like right now netanyahu and the idf will do exactly that. the question is how much more time does he take? wanted to share that with you as the war goes on in the middle east. one reason monthly bills are getting harder to pay is the runaway interest rates on credit cards and car loans. credit cards can be 22% near 30% if you're late. car and truck loans- 10 to 15%. call newday. pay off your high rate credit cards and car loans with the lower rate newday 100 va cash out loan. you can save $500 a month $6,000 a year.
