6:00 am
i'm going. >> lawrence: brian, because i care about you and day 21, you are my elder, i'm going to go and bend over and what have you got? i wanted to be a robot. >> that is the weirdest thing you want to be growing up. >> brian: it's the witch from mercury, a super articulated action figure. >> carley: it's a game. >> lawrence: look at all the different things it can do. >> brian: animal lovers. >> thanks so much for watching "fox & friends" >> carley: have a great day. >> lawrence: we'll see you all tomorrow. >> if we can weaponize these
6:01 am
courts here, all americans need to really worry this could come to your candidate in your town across the nation. >> bill: that's one of many republicans now calling the trump ballot ban anti-american. colorado might just be the tip of the iceberg. we'll explain that now as we say hello. beginning now on thursday morning i'm bill hemmer live in new york. >> dana: that's weird. colorado is landlocked but the metaphor works. i'm dana perino, "america's newsroom." good to be with you this morning. legal efforts to disqualify former president trump are underway in more than a dozen states including maine. we're expecting a decision there as soon as tomorrow. also happening in california where the lieutenant governor wants to -- quote, explore every legal option to disqualify trump. >> bill: you put all this together and it puts pressure on the u.s. supreme court to get involved and the air out of iowa forcing republican candidates to talk about the frontrunner rather than talking about themselves.
6:02 am
talking about the issues facing the country. >> dana: team fox coverage. karl rove on deck. let's begin in washington with griff jenkins. >> i think you put it correctly. it's the tip of the iceberg. the legal law fair says it's tracking 31 different trump disqualification challenges under section three of the 14th amendment. this push to remove trump from the 2024 ballot for insurrection is here to stay. look at the map. colorado was the first state to rule him ineligible but far from the last. here comes maine. by tomorrow their secretary of state could announce whether or not trump will be on the primary ballot there in march. california's lieutenant governor getting into the game. the former u.s. ambassador to hungary writing this.
6:03 am
i urge you to explore every legal option to remove former president donald trump from california's 2024 presidential primary ballot. meanwhile, trump has yet to comment on camera about the challenges while president biden is stopping short of calling for one saying he will leave that to the justices. >> president biden: we'll let the court make that decision. he supported an insurrection, no question about it, none, 0. >> this is creating headaches on the campaign trail. trump's challengers are forced to once again talk about trump. >> there hasn't been any trial or guilty finding. that's a very dangerous precedent to say that a partisan court can just take somebody off the ballot. >> trump's increasing his lead over the rivals in the hawkeye state.
6:04 am
you are looking at fox business's polling showing trump with a 34-point lead over desantis. 52-18 with haley in third at 16%. back to the ballot challenges. one more point. there is no timeline on when we expect the supreme court to take any of this up but the clock is ticking in that first one because the deadline to print colorado's ballots is january 5th. >> bill: want to bring in karl rove. we were reading your piece that dropped in the "wall street journal" last night. the headline. trump versus the banana republic of colorado. it is baseless and helps his campaign. you heard griff's report there. 31 outstanding cases trying to do this. what comes of that? >> griff -- i wish i had written the headline. there is a brilliant group that writes the headline. i can't claim credit for the headline. what's interesting to me is that there are 15 states where these actions are underway.
6:05 am
for example, in 12 states according to law fare website the plaintiffs have withdrawn the suit because recognizing how weak it is. yeah, this is a big benefit to the former president. it makes him the center of attention, makes him a victim, makes him look like he is on the receiving end of unfair partisanship and, you know, it is unfair. this is harkening back to a reconstruction-era section of the constitution of the 14th amendment that doesn't ever mention the word president and requires somebody to have been involved in insurrection or rebellion against the government. like you said earlier, there has been no such trial that has found the president guilty of insurrection or rebellion. it has been -- this has been used twice in the history of our country. one time for a guy who had been found guilty under the espionage
6:06 am
act and running for a federal office. this is during the 19 -- early part of the 20th century. and this is clearly politics and it is the hard left of america deciding to make hay while they can and it is helping president trump which is one of the great ironies. >> dana: what did you think about president biden's reaction yesterday? he said number one it's self-evident that trump participated in an insurrection. not how our system works. it is self-evident to me that hunter biden was utilizing his father's position to get money from foreign governments with a wink and nod from his dad. is that self-evident to me? maybe. it doesn't hold up in a court of law. first president biden said that and he said we'll see where the courts go. he never said regardless i would beat trump on the merits. >> well, i thought that last one was an important missing
6:07 am
sentence, you are absolutely right. there is one thing unsaid and two things he said. i agree the first thing saying it is self-evident is wrong. self-evident that joe biden received money from foreign countries, no it's self-evident. you want to accuse somebody of violating the constitution and engaging in a rebellion and go to a court of law and prove that. do i like what happened on january 6th? no. do i think president trump should have immediately spoken out and told his followers on capitol hill to leave in peace? absolutely. but to say that he is engaged in what the 14th amendment requires is not simply -- that's not sufficient. but the second thing that he said that it's up to the court. that's where it ought to be left. leave it up to the supreme court to settle this. >> bill: you have two weeks to make a call here. first week of january colorado needs an answer, correct?
6:08 am
>> right. right. and i suspect the supreme court is going to be -- take this up and take it up quickly. i would not be surprised to see the court do a 9-0, 8-one, 7-two decision. the court will kick it out. undemocratic. and also political. what better way to take the obscure job of lieutenant governor and turn it into something big that by becoming the team leader on the issue of kicking donald trump off the ballot in california. it is politics, politics, politics. >> bill: thank you, karl. >> dana: great to see you. >> bill: you bet. >> dana: merry christmas. >> bill: watch your email over the holidays, right? this will drop. want to show you the map now. we shared it yesterday. my count there are 12 states with suits to bar trump from the ballot. pending appeals in two others and we follow colorado's decision from two nights ago.
6:09 am
that's where we stand as of now. maybe more to come? maybe it's settled very soon. >> dana: the crisis at the southern border continues to worsen. border patrol sources say they have been more than 24,000 migrant encounters in just the past 48 hours. federal facilities in the area you can imagine are over capacity with agents on the ground outnumbered 200 to one. bill melugin live in lukeville, arizona. this is going on for days. how are the border patrol agents holding up? >> well, cbp sources are telling fox we're at over 200,000 migrant encounters in the first 20 days of december. that's enough to fill up two entire rose bowls and still have some overflow in just three weeks. we'll show you what's going on out here in lukeville. brian will zoom into the distance. hundreds of illegal immigrants crossed overnight and border patrol right now is processing them behind the port of entry now a little bit more out of
6:10 am
public view. you can see some of them gathered there. we'll show you how they got here. take a look at the video we shot in the early morning hours this morning. hours ago, pitch black here. a mass of 700 illegal immigrants came through a gap in the border wall. as we've seen every single day out here in lukeville. started walking down the dirt road to look for border patrol to turn themselves into. ultimately you will see border patrol started processing them at the port of entry lear in lukeville. which has been closed down for weeks now because of the migrant influx. that is hurting international commerce, people on both sides of the border are having to drive hours out of the way because this port of entry is closed. but you can see they continue coming in from all over the world. mixture of single adults and family units. we'll take you to eagle pass. the live fox news drone in the skies above eagle pass right now have been inundated this week so far. they've had more than 10,000 ill le crossings in the eagle pass
6:11 am
area in just the last few days alone and it is no longer just venezuelans and guatemalans coming across. border patrol has recently encountered folks from bangladesh, lebanon, guinea and albania. they come in from all over the world. lastly texas governor greg abbott is flying illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities around the country. this is video of the very first flight he did which landed at chicago's o'hare airport tuesday evening. it had 120 illegal immigrants on it. all of them signed voluntary consent forms. they took off from el paso and abbott's office said they plan for flight in sanctuary cities around the country are fair game. we are averaging 10,000 migrant encounters every day for the month of december. those kind of numbers used to be unheard of. unimaginable. now it is the reality every 24
6:12 am
hours here at our southern border. we'll send it back to you. >> dana: are there other reporters down there yet? >> there are. news nation is down here, a few independent reporters but all the national media right now is over in eagle pass, which is where we've seen the images the last few days. not a whole lot of national media in lukeville. >> bill: thank you, nice to see you there. >> dana: an incredible story. >> bill: we saw conan o'brien interview the president. did this come up? 12 past the hour now. the great christmas getaway is underway. we're in full swing and passengers heading for the airports, hitting the roads. will it be smooth sailing for you? we'll find out. >> dana: plus the hits keep coming for harvard university president claudine gay. why she may have a lot more explaining to do. there is also this. >> wherever you look across the country, new cars and houses are
6:13 am
unaffordable. rent is unaffordable. >> bill: silent depression is trending on lines. why americans aren't feeling so great about their financial standing. kennedy and jacque deangelis whether the gloom is justified. good morning, ladies. >> dana: good morning. look at this. ♪ (♪) my plaque psoriasis was so bad... i couldn't get my hair done. my psoriasis was all over.
6:14 am
then my joints started hurting, found out it was psoriatic arthritis. who knew they could be connected? for me, cosentyx works on both. 5 years and counting. did you know people with psoriasis on the scalp have a 4 times higher risk of developing psoriatic arthritis, which if left untreated can lead to permanent joint damage? cosentyx works on all of this and helps stop further joint damage. talk to your doctor. find something that works for you. serious allergic reactions. severe skin reactions that look like eczema and an increased risk of infections, some fatal, have occurred. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to, or if ibd symptoms develop or worsen. cosentyx. still workin' for me. ♪see me♪ find relief that can last. ask your dermatologist about cosentyx.
6:15 am
6:16 am
6:17 am
6:18 am
>> bill: here we go now. 17 past the hour. harvard university facing growing calls for action as more plagiarism accusations emerge. they're piling up against claudine gay, washington free beacon reporting harvard has received a complaint outlining more than 40 allegations of plagiarism. they claim that gay quoted or paraphrased upwards of 20
6:19 am
authors without proper attribution. we've been saying all week it looks like this is not slowing down. again yet today we have this. so we'll find out eventually the fate of the harvard president, i imagine. >> dana: check this out. migrants are rising in the ranks of social media documenting their journey to america on youtube and tiktok. some are even banking a paycheck for their videos. it is now influencing thousands of other migrants to guess what? they come to flood the southern border. kennedy and jackie deangelis are joining us now. great to have you both. imagine being a migrant, beleaguered after this tough journey. that's not what we're seeing. they come here and become tiktok stars. >> they've realized if they document their journey like any other millennial and edit the
6:20 am
videos together to make them compelling and upload them on social media they start to gain traction. every other teenager in the world uses, a lot of these people are a little bit older in their 20s and 30s. now they are creating migrant tourism. there are people consuming these videos in home countries going wow, i want to go to the darian gap. that looks fun. it is a treacherous part of the jungle where a lot of people succumb to the elements. they don't need a government hand out, just clicks. >> bill: we were watching many migrants cross the border in arizona with iphones fully charged, point taken. >> this is the world we live in. a world of social media. i witnessed it in 2011 with the arab spring where protestors were using social media to organize. you can't pick and choose who gets the use the tools once they're out there and disseminated. migrants are also using them to share information to each other and encourage people to come
6:21 am
across the border, where to go. how to do it, what to bring. what they'll get when they come here. it's a massive problem. interesting to me that tiktok and twitter and all of these different platforms are sort of again they don't get to pick how their tool is used. so this is kind of the dark side of technology to a certain degree. you don't want to see this happening, but you can't decide. >> dana: when the biden administration said we've told them not to come but what you need to tell them is on social media. >> with their mouths they say don't come but for people who want a better life they are figuring out the loopholes and the soft spots and weak spots. it is hard to come in through an airport. people fly from chad to venezuela and then take the long journey up because it is 100% guaranteed success i will get into the country. >> bill: eagle pass is something
6:22 am
we're looking at every day this week. it doesn't change. a trend online. younger americans believe there is a silent depression now. comparing it to 100 years ago is great depression. watch the clip from tiktok video. >> normal people in this country are struggling and at the end of the day normal people are what this country's backbone is built out of. if you crush the back, the country's back will be broken. >> bill: we've looked at a bunch of these earlier today. the unemployment rate during the great depression was 25%. >> things are different. a lot of these people don't understand the background and weren't alive to understand it or talk to people who lived through the depression. at the same time, you have to take what they are saying seriously, too. this is how they're feeling. since october since student loan payments resumed 9 million people have defaulted, 40% of the borrowers. i don't think they are doing it because they don't want to pay loans back. i think they're doing it because things are hard right now. you look at the biggest costs they're dealing with.
6:23 am
food and shelter. compounded with inflation both up roughly 20%. they pay more for everything. they aren't making as much as other age groups in society are. they're just getting started. it is becoming harder for them to manage. comparing it to the depression may be a little extreme. biden needs to listen to this. he keeps going on the road and said bidenomics is working for everybody but it's not. >> dana: the only presidential candidate on tiktok right now is vivek ramaswamy and whether we like it or not this is where the young people are. they are sharing this kind of information. they aren't getting alternative content. >> they don't want to be lied to. it is not necessarily about feelings when you can't afford your rent, when you can't afford groceries, when you can't afford to make a car payment or fill up your tank those are real things. the most personal things to people's lives. and when the white house is telling them no, things are great. unemployment is at 3.7%. the economy is going we're not
6:24 am
in a recession but they are using more of the clinical psychological term for depression, which is linked to their economic im more built and inflexibility to make choices for their lives which causes its own kind of psychological depression. >> dana: i think you just nailed it on what -- how everyone needs to be thinking about this. i did a podcast that will air next week about the youth vote and the need to actually meet them where they are and talk to them in that way. >> bill: thank you, ladies. well done. israel wants to cut a deal now with hamas on the hostages. the iranian-backed group hamas is having none of it. we'll have the latest in a moment. tiktok turns into a breeding ground for anti-semitism. why the social media platform continues to come under fire. >> so it's as if all the voices of hate have this unregulated power to amplify that hatred. >> exactly.
6:25 am
social media platforms are enhanced machines. that means that this hate is getting viewed billions and trillions at a time.

6:30 am
♪ why is chevy making affordable vehicles, connected by onstar? so together we can do more. >> dana: we're back now. as bill has been saying, this is eagle pass, texas. this is not your scene from yesterday or even the day before. this is today right now. but it is similar to what you've been seeing for an entire week in eagle pass. these are people that just continue to keep coming. remember that train scene from last week where people were waiting to get on the train. once you get on the train and make it all the way and walk across the border, you end up here in eagle pass. >> bill: i think sometimes we get lost in the numbers but when you are getting 10,000 a day, just add that up throughout the entire month of december. >> dana: border patrol outnumbered 200 to one. >> bill: if it continues in january and february. right now it would seem to indicate that yes, it will. numbers are huge on the border and the numbers on wall street
6:31 am
are big as well. opening bell 9:30 in new york. check this out. santa claus rally, ho ho ho, we're moving on the dow up and up and up again well above 37,000 right now and the futures market was positive and this is the result of that. does it last? does it stay? or is it just a -- >> dana: what does it tell you about the future? i don't know. you tell me. >> bill: a lot of people are looking in the new year expecting the fed to cut rates. if they do, in a significant way, maybe this is all justified. if it doesn't go that way, this is going to be a head fake, as you say. >> dana: we'll keep an eye on it. as we get another record as they go. hamas throwing cold water on hostage talks with israel dashing any hopes of freedom for those still held in captivity and the prospect of a temporary truce for their own citizens now rocket sirens are sounding across israel as the terror
6:32 am
group fires a salvo toward the jewish state today. trey yengst is live in tel aviv and has the latest for us. hi, trey. >> good morning . earlier today hamas fired more rockets toward israel's second largest city of tel aviv. more than 300,000 people here heading to bomb shelters. 76 days into this conflict, the factions still have maintained their ability to fire these salvos toward major population centers. it does come as hamas has publicly rejected israeli discussion about a new cease-fire. hamas saying no hostages will be released until the war is officially over. that is what they are saying publicly. privately they have a different tune. yesterday the leader of hamas flew to egypt where he continued conversations about a possible deal. it does come as israeli forces say they're close to come completing high intensity ground operations in northern gaza. much of the focus for soldiers
6:33 am
in the past days in a neighborhood where the troops from 551st brigade evacuated a group of civilians still in a building. ground battles taking place in southern gaza the death toll is rising in israeli soldiers, 137 killed since the ground operation began. danny said this to fox news about the possibility of a cease-fire. >> we cannot agree to a cease-fire now and you see the voices coming from the u.n., u.s. a cease-fire now will keep hamas alive. will alive themselves to reconstruct their abilities. they will become heroes. that should be a symbol that when you come against a democracy and try to terrorize it. it is your last mistake and what will happen to hamas in gaza. >> the fighting comes as activity continues to increase on israel's northern front. israeli strikes against southern lebanon were more serious after new attacks by hezbollah.
6:34 am
attacks against american forces are also increasing across the middle east in both iraq and syria. overnight a rocket attack against the al assad air base brought the number to 102. the region on the brink of a much larger conflict. you have seen american officials visiting tel aviv to meet with israeli counterparts and prepare for the future. >> dana: thank you for the update >> bill: want to bring in a former hostage affairs envoy. hamas wants a cease-fire is what they want first. blinken puts the finger on hamas. >> this is something we very much like to see happen. the problem was and has been and remains hamas. i know israel would welcome and i think the world would welcome. >> bill: what gives or is this just part of a wicked negotiation? >> can you hear me okay? >> yes. thank you very much.
6:35 am
good morning, bill. hamas's sick tactic throughout this process to invoke as much humanitarian damage as possible so that ultimately it can win on the battlefield of public opinion so to spell israel and the region once and for all. to dispel israel. hamas is not in the war for usual reasons to seek land, people, wealth. it's sole goal is to eliminate israel. all of these tactics we see with one side of hamas, one wing saying it wants to get something going. the other side saying nothing until the war is over shows their disarray but feeds into the ultimate objective to create confusion long enough to invoke enough damage and pin it on israel's future. >> bill: the whole quest about the cease-fire. why not grant that. we'll do it for ten or 12 hours. the israelis are looking for 40 hostages to come home. these are women and children and
6:36 am
elderly males. and you know those men need help in addition to the women. >> yes. absolutely. it is sickening. meanwhile, hamas is saying no deal until the war is over. the only way this war is over is not through a simple cease-fire. it is with a simple cease terrorism. nobody wants terrorism in the world accepts terrorists. they choreograph for their own influence. the terms of trade they ultimately want to see is no war, then maybe we'll talk. by the way, we want 8,000 palestinian prisoners out of israel for about 100 hostages. that's not sensible. i'm here in milwaukee today. president biden is here to explain bidenomics. he really this year needs to explain why are americans still held hostage in -- by hamas two months into this? this is going to turn out to be his carter-era hostage headache going into the election more
6:37 am
than bidenomics itself. >> bill: an interesting comment. sometimes you wonder why you don't get more of those questions with the white house press corps. we may see the white house a bit later this afternoon. this man, sinwar, in israeli prisons for 20 years. he is running the militant wing of hamas. by all accounts he is still alive and by all accounts he is still in gaza. can you explain to us why it is so difficult to locate this individual? >> this individual was locateable able he was released under a previous hostage swap deal a few years ago. that's the danger of letting the palestinians out of prison in israel because they go right back to the front. they end up commanding with a vengeance the type of persecution of israel and theatrics on the world stage that can unsettle not just the region but broader.
6:38 am
it is hard to find him. there is a fog of war. it is a very complicated situation. hostages are their own war. here they are a war within a war. the region which has undergone decades. we need to find this person. there are two wings in the hamas organization. the militant wing in the field and the other wing sitting comfortably in doha. we need to find it and take care of it once and for all. >> bill: the number was 121 earlier in the week where the israelis thought 121 hostages were still being held and still alive. does that number sound right? >> i hear varying numbers. one is too many. 100, 121. how many dead since then? we have had 30 americans die. several suffer as hostages. just one little girl coming out after two months, it's really sickening. as i mentioned, this is the
6:39 am
explanation we need to hear from this president going forward during this election cycle or else it will be a major hostage headache going forward. >> bill: thank you for your time, sir. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: well, bill, one of any new year predictions is out. there is always next year. injured quarterback aaron rodgers will not play again this season but continue to practice with the team. rodgers was eyeing this historic return on christmas eve against the commanders, where are they from? >> bill: from washington formerly known as. >> dana: he tore his achilles in the first date of the season on what date? september 11th. >> bill: very good. i was looking they're 5-nine. >> dana: that doesn't sound very good. >> bill: you have three games
6:40 am
left. would you want to do that? i think no. rest yourself and get healthy. >> dana: maybe next year. good to have you in new york. >> bill: cookies, candies, gummy bears, they are more attractive to kids before and sending hundreds to the hospital. the good doctor will tell us about that. new yorkers abandoning the state in droves yet again. why they are leaving this time around and where they are headed. ♪

6:45 am
>> bill: here is another report about the empire staved. new yorkers are fleeing the city overrun with crime and subway violence, unhoused migrants. a new census report reveals that
6:46 am
new york's population dropped more than any other state this year and this has been our trend for a couple years now. cb cotton is live on the sidewalks of manhattan. hello to you. good morning. >> the latest u.s. census data shows more new yorkers are moving out than anywhere else in the entire country. the new u.s. census bureau report showing the empire state lost more than 100,000 people between july this year and the last. one of eight states which saw their populations fall this year behind new york are other democrat-run states. california, illinois, pennsylvania. meanwhile, two republican-led states texas and florida saw the largest population growth followed by north carolina, georgia, and south carolina. these numbers coming as the new york state comptroller shares a new report finding that new york city is getting older with a growing wealth gap and declining numbers of white and black new yorkers. while nypd data shows major
6:47 am
crimes have declined slightly, felony assaults are up by 6%. some republicans say the departures are far from over and point a finger on soft on crime policies for the city's shift. >> we are no longer in a city where the innocent are protected. we're not. we are in a city where every advantage is given to the criminal element. there is no doubt about it. >> and we reached out to new york governor kathy hochul's office about the mass exodus and waiting to hear back. >> bill: cb cotton on that as they drive south. >> dana: melissa carney's two book the two-parent privilege. it's not being straight or white or male, it is being born into a two-parent household saying the declining marriage rate is what's driving many of the country's economic problems.
6:48 am
1.5 million babies were born to unmarried mothers. 40% of all births that year. i think at the start we should be clear. you are just stating facts and providing people information. not passing judgment on people who are trying the toughest job in the world is being a single mom, no doubt about that. tell us about your research and what you found. >> i appreciate that. that's right. what i'm doing is pulling out mounds of data and evidence to make an economic case that the decline in marriage, which has happened largely outside the college educated class, dramatic rise in the share of kids in the u.s. born outside a marriage or to single parents, that has contributed to economic insecurity of people without a college degree and it has really driven gaps in kids opportunities, experiences, household resources. this is something as an economic matter, now a moral proposition, we should all be really
6:49 am
