executing a search warrant at president biden's residence as a deciding factor for not allowing it, even though she agreed probable cause existed. prosecutors said not to ask about the big guy or dad when conducting interviews. >> steps by doj i've never seen in my 14 years and makes no sense. >> wolf tips off the biden counsel about your plan to search the storage unit. is that right. >> absolutely. >> john: former doj prosecutor lesley wolf, on the hot seat as part of the hunter biden investigation. >> sandra: testifying behind closed doors after whistleblowers said she obstructed the fbi investigating president biden during the five-year-long probe. the panel sounds off in moments. first, a fox news alert from the white house.

>> john: awaiting the first white house briefing since house lawmakers voted to launch a formal impeachment inquiry into president biden. republicans turn up the heat in their investigations of the first family. hello, john roberts in washington. good thursday afternoon to you, sandra. >> sandra: and good to be with you, john. sandra smith in new york. house formalizing the impeachment inquiry with a party line vote of 221 to 212. gop says it's necessary to strengthen their standing with any future court battles. depositions could be conducted over the holidays, in the wake of the house decision. republicans say the president benefitted financially from his son hunter's foreign business dealings and their investigations into the matter could run deep into the 2024 election cycle. >> john: michigan democratic congresswoman debbie dingell is raising a red flag of polling out of her state, trailing president trump in a head to

head match-up. peter doocy live at the white house, but chad pergram live on capitol hill with the latest. >> chad: good afternoon. the vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry gives house investigators more power to summon witnesses for depositions, many republicans finally jumped on board. >> this administration has been holding us up saying there is not a formal impeachment inquiry, we are not going to give you paperwork, not going to let people testify, so that excuse is gone as we pursue what's happening here. >> chad: former doj official lesley wolf, they want to know why she let the statute of limitations expire before investigating burisma. they say parameters of the investige not clear. >> they don't know why they want

to impeach him. the floor debate, a range of different reasons, they don't know. almost reached the verdict before they have held the trial. >> chad: the house could soon vote to hold hunter biden in contempt of congress. democrats contend republicans are focussed on impeachment, and failed to find successful policy solutions. >> it's shameful but that's the reality that we confront. and we are going to continue to point out the contrasts between house democrats, team reasonable, team normal, team get stuff done. >> chad: it's unclear if the house will ever take an impeachment vote. conservative voters will apply pressure to the house to impeach the president some time in 2024. democrats say that's why impeachment is all about politics. john. >> john: as are most things on capitol hill these days it seems. chad pergram, thank you. >> sandra: on top of all of

that, now official impeachment inquiry, president biden's re-election campaign is being weighed down by his son's potential criminal trial as well as ad polling. how will that play out for him in 2024? peter doocy is standing by live at the white house ahead of a critical white house press briefing. peter. >> peter: we saw hunter biden claim yesterday on outside of capitol hill that he thinks he's the victim of what he calls the trump attack machine, and now trump himself is out on the campaign trail in iowa trying to tie hunter biden and his problems to his dad, the president. >> they have gone back to crooked joe and if they give him enough money -- did you see hunter, he went to the wrong place, he went to the senate instead of the house. everyone is saying where is hunter, you know, where is hunter. >> peter: president biden is saying aboutg to

help m is not supported by facts. and there are some democrats now saying they don't think the support for this inquiry during the vote yesterday was all organic. >> i think it's trump, i think it's trump working behind the scenes. i think it's trump's people working behind the scenes, calling the members and saying you better be with us. >> peter: this impeachment inquiry phase is going to be a distraction for some folks that work here at the white house but publicly they want to show the american people they can do other stuff so have john kirby come out ahead of karine jean-pierre to talk about the urgency to get money to ukraine, things that they are or are not doing to help israel, and then

they are going to talk about whatever else the president plans to do to round out the year. this is not going to be a big part of their pitch to close out 2023, though. >> sandra: we know you will be there with your questions and watching for all of that. thank you, peter, live at the white house. >> john: just ahead, michigan democratic congresswoman debbie dingell for more on this. congresswoman, always good to have you on with us. we mentioned as we were getting to chad pergram this new poll, cnn poll of michigan. these are always snapshot times, but the snapshot at present does not look good for joe biden. donald trump in a head to head match-up gets 50%. biden 40%. the president won it by three points back in 2020. 154,000 votes. i know you have been raising the alarm about this with the white house. what have you been telling them? >> so, let me be clear, first, and talk about the poll, which is i don't believe any poll

because everybody told me i was crazy in 215 and 216 when i was -- i said to people, donald trump could and then i believed he would win michigan. you know what i think about this poll, i think it's snapshot in time. i think that there is real work that has to be downtown in migrant to tell the story of what the president has done, what he's delivered on, what he's accomplished, and to draw the contrast between the president -- between our president currently and president donald trump. but what i feel good about is that it's getting the attention. it's getting the attention of those that matters, people understand migrant is a competitive state, ance a lot of work that has to be done but i know it's got to be done. i've spent a lot of time in that state in a lot of different places and roll up our sleeves and we are going to make people sure that people know what's at stake when they walk into the

poll a year from now. >> john: congress will be going back home to the home districts over the christmas holiday, returning some time in january and immediately upon their return republicans and two committees of the house will be taking up the impeachment inquiry. how do you think that could affect president biden politically? >> so i have my own theory on all of this which is i think we are conducting an impeachment inquiry to balance the indictments that president trump has got and distract the american people from the fact we could be at looking at two -- well, partial government shutdown on january 19th and another partial government shutdown or total if we have not done something to fund the government by february 2nd. we have a lot of things that we need to do. i think it's outrageous that we have left washington and not done ukraine funding,

humanitarian funding. in the border needs to be discussed. the president has said it himself. people are tired and need to go home, we have things to do. the policy issues are what the american people are going to hold us accountable for. >> john: a lot that congress will leave on the table but how do you think this impeachment inquiry might affect joe biden politically as we head into an election year? >> i think a lot of people think it's political. they think it's exactly what a number of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, some not saying publicly but i know how some arms were broken. i think it's a real problem for republicans in seats that biden won, some by as much as 13 points. so i think many people, not -- it's an issue, are going to call it exactly what it is, a political issue and people are going to be reminded probably more than donald trump wants about all the cases he's been indicted in and i think that's

going to be part of next year's campaign. period. >> john: it will be dynamic, no question about that. ask you quickly if i could about a move by republicans in the house to hold hunter biden in contempt of congress for not showing up for the subpoena yesterday. kelly armstrong, republican from north dakota saying when you show up on the capitol steps to hold a press conference instead of sitting for your deposition, it would seem you want to be held in contempt. i'm comfortable obliging him. navarro was put in handcuffs and arrested at reagan airport. >> hunter biden said make it open, make it transparent and i think he has a right to ask for that. i think a lot of republicans are playing games, political gotchas

and watch the trump trials and they should be able to see the hunter biden testimony. i think we need transparency in some of these very political investigations right now and trials. >> john: it would be a lot of must-see tv. >> yes, it would be but i think the american people should be seeing it. let them make their own decisions. >> always great to catch up with you. >> sandra: members of hamas and others accused of planning terrorist attas in europe arrested in germany, netherlands and denmark. alex hogan is live in london. what do we know as the story is just breaking? >> hi, sandra. multiple arrests across multiple countries, accused of attempting to carry out terrorist attacks. at least three of them are long standing members of hamas. now, what we do know at this point, authorities say they are on high alert, three people were detained in germany, one person detained in the netherlands and three others arrested in denmark

on suspicion of terrorism and israel has linked all seven people to hamas, although denmark has not specifically named hamas yet. as is usual, the full names of those arrested have not been released but this is what we do know of the german-led investigation. two men from egypt, one born in lebanon tasked to take weapons to berlin, and one man is a dutch national, in his 50s, and he was arrested in rotterdam but also linked to the danish operation, law enforcement say they prevented a major attack. >> this is as serious as it gets. i'm pleased with the work of the authorities. it shows something about the kind of situation we are in in denmark. >> german leaders say attacks on jewish people have increased in recent weeks and the danish

justice minister says it confirms the danish jews are also under threat. and denmark will increase police presence in copenhagen, and the three arrested in germany, they will go before a judge tomorrow. >> sandra: alex, thank you. john. >> john: a live look at the white house where we are expecting the first briefing since the house voted to launch an impeachment inquiry into president biden. we will monitor the goings on there and take you live just as soon as it happens. >> sandra: we are watching that, and on capitol hill the president's son is once again taking the spotlight. republicans questioning a federal prosecutor they say covered up for the biden family. tammy bruce and former pennsylvania congressman patrick murphy are up next who that prosecutor is. >> she's the one who said you

goli, taste your goals.

goli, taste your goals. >> sandra: investigations continue, hunter biden once again the focus on the hill after defying a congressional subpoena. now republicans are rallying for the president's son to be found in contempt of congress. as lawmakers question a u.s. attorney accused of covering up for the bidens. tammy bruce and patrick murphy. tammy, first up, should this be allowed? i mean -- to just be a no-show? >> obviously not. i mean, we have the precedent

what the democrats did when people did not respond to a subpoena or show up, and they should show up. i agree, you can't just ignore what congress asks of you or what a court asks of you whether you agree with it or not. that's why you have attorneys, that's why you have at least with the bidens millions of dollars is that you have support. so really can't do that, but i think that there's been a pattern and it must be jarring for someone like hunter biden and even joe biden or all the bidens to be held to account. and i think that's the problem is that it's disturbing, the system has worked for them, and i think they believe they can make the system continue to work for them. >> sandra: patrick, do you take any issue with the former doj prosecutor, lesley wolf, irs whistleblowers alleged that wolf, a key prosecutor, very high level of authority, had a very high level of authority at the department of justice investigation into hunter biden obstructed the fbi from investigating president biden

during the five-year-long probe. there are lesley wolf mentions in the whistleblower testimony, ok, 53 times and the first whistleblower transcript, 30 times and the second transcript. do you take issue and concerned about these revelations? >> well, that's why i'm glad she's testifying today, sandra, to be honest with you. no one is above the law, so whether you are a democrat, republican, wealthy, not wealthy, hold people accountable and when we have folks, that's why she's testifying today. as you know, i was a federal prosecutor, a military prosecutor. my dad was a cop in philadelphia. the american people just want justice, don't care who you are. they want to make sure the rules are fair and equitable for everybody, not just those who are powerful. >> sandra: lesley wolf 2020 email, tell the viewers who the

person is, in which she ordered investigators to remove any reference to political figure one from a search warrant, tammy. reads as a priority, someone needs to redraft attachment b, i'm not sure what this is cut and pasted from but other than the attribution location and identity stuff at the end, none of it is appropriate and within the scope of this warrant. please focus on fara evidence only, nothing about political figure one in here. did she cover for hunter biden during her time at the doj? that is what people want to know. >> and that's what this interview is about, what the testimony is about. so we have had the whistleblowers saying that you know, she was really the lead in a certain way, she became a u.s., assistant u.s. district attorney in 2006, she had worked for a law firm, clerked for a judge appointed by bush, and a history, and we found with the new indictment of hunter biden is that the whistleblowers have

been correct what they have alleged, and that they have alleged that there is, you know, she in particular was pushing back and hindering their investigation, ranging from not allowing certain searches to happen, like the delaware guest house where hunter biden was living at his father's house. there is also allegations that she alerted his attorneys, biden's attorneys to a search warrant prior to it being implemented, giving him time to change an environment. things like not wanting to have mentions of joe biden, not wanting to have certain words used. so it's a variety of actions that they said was at the heart of not -- of them not being able to do their job. what's interesting that she was saying these things. it was not even hidden to irs agents like the whistleblowers and others in the team who would have been assigned to implement an investigation that would have required searches of the home of the bidens and those are the things she stopped.

so when you look at this, she may think, and what's a little amusing, cbs news noted it's normal, the doj wants to not do investigations that might interfere with an election and yet we see what they are doing with trump. >> sandra: none of this sounds very good, patrick. >> and that's why i think we both, tammy and i agree and i think you would to, she's testifying at congress. a step back really quick, listen, rule of law, no one is above the law and it is in the court system, the department of justice. the subpoena, i think it's pretty, you know, interesting to say the least that when steve bannon was subpoenaed, he didn't testify. and hunter biden said he will tell as long as it's open. and during the investigation the subpoena in congress for over a year, when we have not passed a budget, we have not gotten the economy moving right now, back

on the right track. >> the issue, patrick, you would agree, the issue is you don't get to say you are not going to testify when you should be that day testifying because you don't agree with the details. you know, little people like us and regular americans don't get a say that doesn't work for me right now, we are going to do this and you make a statement to the press. that is the epitome of elite privilege and then you walk away. he doesn't get to set the standard. no testimony yet. it's that simple. >> sandra: quick, patrick, and then we have to go. >> steve bannon did not testify, defied the subpoena, didn't do anything with him. and he said i will testify if it's open and they were not willing to meet him halfway and meanwhile, an investigation in the department of justice. so, we want the american people to get moving and let the court system handle any criminal acts that happened. >> sandra: we appreciate the discussion. thanks to both of you for joining us. we'll be following everything that comes from it. thank you both.

texas continue to see thousands and thousands of migrants pouring in every single day. as all eyes are on the southern border, the northern border with canada is seeing an alarming increase as well in the number of migrant crossings, and terror watch list suspects are among them. senior correspondent mike tobin is live in buffalo, new york, now hit from two sides of the migrant crisis. mike. >> it is, sandra. of the people picked up, 85 nabbed here at the northern border, border patrol union says while you have the attention and resources going to the southern border, the people trying to find a weak point are heading here to the nation's longest border. >> even as the niagara river rages in frigid temperatures, migrants are taking the chance to make it into the united states from canada.

in november, over the course of four days, border patrol says four people, three from mexico, attempted to cross in flimsy inflatable rafts. as others attempt on foot, border patrol encounters with migrants at the northern border have increased 7-fold since 2021. number of agents remains the same. >> the border patrol cannot perform what they need to perform because of lack of man power and lack of funding. >> buffalo new york is getting it from two sides. migrants were bussed to the buffalo area where three hotels serve as shelters. local police have already dealt with cases of rape and sexual assault. >> they have no concern or no regard for what our laws or rules are. >> a whistleblower with knowledge of the shelters says migrants aren't being tracked and some are bringing in illegal drugs and weapons. >> we have knives, tasers, the

searches were turning up weapons or narcotics. >> and the border patrol union says the bitter winter temperatures don't discourage people trying to cross into the u.s. from the north. just makes the trip more dangerous. sandra, back to you. >> sandra: mike tobin, live from buffalo, new york. john, you are familiar with the border to the north and something they are dealing with on both sides right now. >> john: having grown up in canada, i have crossed it a time or two, first time when i was a child in either elementary or middle school, i remember that the canadian dollar at that point was worth 1.07 american, oh, those were the days. >> sandra: those were the days. >> john: a lot more -- kilmeade has thoughts, he'll be joining us coming up. >> sandra: he does, and our continued look at the southern border, the funding for our border security that republicans are trying to tie to ukraine.

you can see it as a natural outgrowth of separate graduation ceremonies and dormitories based on race. now we have separate holiday parties and what is the criteria here? could vice president harris attend but not her husband, who i believe is jewish? could barack obama attend but he could not bring his late mother or grandmother with him if he wanted to go? what about the kids of these interracial marriages, are they allowed to attend. utterly, utterly ridiculous, indefensive, and post racial america, they want to keep it front and center, what the progressives the democratic party think is good politically and this is the result of that. >> john: if i'm not mistaken, michelle wu's husband is white as well. she was asked to explain this, listen to this exchange. >> are you concerned this lends

to further divisiveness? >> no, i mean, again, this is a group that has been in place for many, many years. we celebrate all kinds of connection and identity and culture and heritage in the city. we want to be a city where everyone's identity is embraced. >> john: she said the mistake was not in the idea of the party but whose names were put into the to field. but the question of does this not further divide a city council that's already pretty much divided and if you are trying to be inclusive and bring the community together, jason, how does this go any distance to fostering that kind? >> it doesn't bring the community together and she knows that. i think she's woeful i tone deaf. we are diverse country, intermarriage rates are all time highs and this is what government officials are pushing

on the public. i see no desire on -- in terms of the public for wanting racially divided holiday parties but apparently this mayor thinks it will serve her political interest to do so. >> john: just a couple minutes left, two quick topics i want to get to you on. they are very important. recent institute for family studies and gallup study found teenagers who grow up in households with conservative parents are happier than teens with liberal parents. being raised by liberal parents is a much larger risk factor for mental health problems in adolescence than a low income household with parents who did not attend college. children of conservative parents score better on mental health. secret sauce, authoritative parenting style with warmth and high level of discipline. >> i think if conservative parents are more likely to keep their kids off of social media

or at least limit the screen time, they are going to have a huge advantage right there, john, i'll tell you that. but what i was -- what i found interesting about the study is that the government agencies are that sort of tasked with keeping an eye on mental health for our youth don't really look at the relationship between the parent and the child. that's not something that's really on their radar screen. they are asking questions about the availaf meal health services, the child's exposure to racial or ethnic prejudice in their lives, but the parent/child relationship is not something that they are focused on and i found that very, very interesting because you think that's where they would start. >> john: i want to get to this quick, too, you have written about this. study also found "children report fewer adverse experiences when spouse sal relationship quality is high compared to when it's low," brings us to this topic, institute for family studies also found that one of the big drivers of crime is

fatherlessness. and this is something you've written about. >> yes. absolutely. we know that two-parent homes are the best way to raise a child. we know there are plenty of single moms that have done it, heroically, but they faced long odds and as a society you want to reduce the chances that future people have to face those odds. so we have known this for a long, long time. what's interesting to me is that it really transcends race. in other words, there's a stronger correlation between coming from a two-parent family and staying out of jail and versus your race or ethnicity and staying out of jail, even in terms of school discipline. black kids are suspended at higher rates than white kids. black kids from two-parent homes are suspended -- it's something that transcends race and ethnicity and that needs to be the focus of our public policy officials stressing the importance of two-parent

families. >> john: something we have known about for decades and yet still happening in record numbers. >> decades, millennia. institution of marriage is the best way to raise the next generation, known for thousands and thousands of years. and the idea that we could turn away from it and not any serious consequences is ridiculous. 2019, almost half of babies were born to single moms. >> we fail to learn the lessons of history sometimes jason, great to have you back. hope to see more of you. >> sandra: we are watching closely for our viewers, some elementary students in virginia had to go to the hospital after being exposed to fentanyl while eating candy. how do 4th graders get their hands on a potentially deadly drug? an update on the investigation from dr. william wells, superintendent of amherst county

back came into contact and then it just came into the school. our student was not involved, he was just handing out candy to kids at lunch and so kind of surprised him as well. a big shock to all of us on the situation. >> sandra: how are the seven elementary school students doing now? >> i spoke with the parents yesterday and all of them were fine. they were tired, you know, being at the hospital all night and then coming in and having their, i guess side effects of being exposed to the fentanyl also had an impact on them but they were all doing well, all ready to come to school today so everybody is doing well, given the circumstances. we were very lucky this turned out the way it did and not something worse. >> sandra: definitely. what are you telling concerned parents at your school now that fentanyl has entered the classroom there? >> we are telling them, one, we feel our school is safe. it's not a safety issue for us but a larger community issue we are facing. we have cleaned the school and

we want the parents to realize the school is safe for the students to come back. our big, a big thing we are trying to get the parents to realize, when you have the conversations with our children about safe ways to handle food and other items from other people, at the elementary level it's, you know, you have to have age-appropriate conversations, elementary students are, it's a different conversation about just being safe and not taking food from others at our school. we are not really wanting people to bring in things not in the original packaging just to be on the safe side there, so we have our staff look at that and talking to the parents about making the right decisions. >> sandra: i think that is a conversation a lot of parents are having all over this country because it can be something as simple as something that looks like gummy bears in a bag laced with fentanyl and kids are not necessarily looking for that. so, what is your advice to parents where this could turnp anywhere? i mean, this could happen

anywhere. what do parents need to tell their children? >> well, i think the first major thing is you know, don't take things from other people. go back to that old analogy there. if you don't know where it came from, don't take it, don't ingest it. need to be very careful there. our students again in this situation, they were just sharing things at lunch, at the lunch table and just came, you know, they were just handing it out. as far as our younger parents, parents of our younger children really having the age appropriate conversations. be careful, not take anything from strangers, even our friends. those were friends, not necessarily stranger, but be careful what we are doing. i think with the middle school and high school-aged parents, the parents of those children, you know, we need to really be careful because we are all seeing a big increase in the thc-laced gummys and vape pens in our community and need the parents to have the conversation. >> sandra: that is horrifying. >> and we need to really talk about that and have the

conversations. and i want to go back to kinds of the ronald reagan statement of trust but verify, we want to trust our kids, we want them to know that as they are growing up we trust them, but we also need to make sure that as parents we are doing our part to keep them safe. >> sandra: absolutely. as you said in your message, parents need to take charge, it's here, fentanyl, you said, and it is real. so, we wanted to make sure we get that story in there and we'll be following what happens with 26-year-old nicole sanders and clifford duggan, jr. >> john: jake sullivan in israel as the deadly fighting in gaza shows no sign of letting up. and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu vows to fight until absolute victory. stay with us. - hey, we're here to get you.

>> john: all right, we want to go to the white house where john kirby has finished up briefing on the war in the middle east and karine jean-pierre now taking questions. let's listen in. >> you talk about what the president himself is actually -- we have not seen him do. >> look, as you know, the president has been in regular contact, regular touch and he said this with congressional leaders from both sides, with the republican and democratic sides of the leadership.

>> talked with the speaker? >> i'm not going to get into like specifically who he's called, but -- but obviously congressional leaders from the republican side and also the democratic side, both parties, and as you know, staff has also been on the hill, our staff has been, his staff has been on the hill negotiating on his behalf and they met on tuesday, they met again yesterday and we believe it's going in a productive place. we believe it's heading in the right direction. we believe that conversations, that the fact that it's continuing is encouraging and we are seeing progress and that's because obviously of the president, we believe, continuing to certainly negotiate, have those conversations and this is a president who knows how to negotiate. we've seen him do it multiple times, being able to negotiate across the aisle and working on legislation, making things happen on behalf of the american people. look, it's going in the right way. we understand we are going to finds, you have to find a

bipartisan compromise to get this done and we are talking about the policy side of it and the funding side of it as we talk about relation to the border, we will have the conversations, it continues on the senate side. you heard us how and the speaker said himself how he's going to, you know, they are going to go on vacation, they argoing to go on vacation while the senate side continues to work. and that's, you know, that's not -- that's not for the american people when you go on vacation and go on christmas recess. >> president negotiating, how is he a part of these negotiations. is the white house now at, you know -- evaluating the proposals? >> john: we will leave this where it is at the white house for a few moments, we are expecting they will talk about hunter biden but right now they are on about the supplemental on capitol hill, includes funding for ukraine as well as israel. and not the border so far. but, republicans are saying it has to. >> sandra: and we want to see
