[inaudible] ask the prime minister netanyahu. >> did you tell him not to strike? >> i had a long talk today. it's rather complicated projects mr. president as you asked for cease-fire today? [inaudible] >> president biden just a few moments ago speaking with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu for the prime minister expressing his appreciation for the united stance at the un security council while the prime minister reiterated his route israel willcontinue its war on . gaza just one issue biden is

dealing with as his campaign looks to increase its events in the new advents. alexandria hoff is live in washington with more. >> hi brian, the president saying today did not ask prime minister netanyahu for a cease-fire. sure to further put off the more progressive base. as will the greater focus is now being put on the political problem for the president that is the southern border. in the coming days the white house is going to send top effects shows like separatist at entity blanket and home and said secretary to mexico to discuss quote the challenges there. the president and vice president are also gearing up for travel of their own as the biden-harris campaign says concerns over the president's age or performance as we have seen in the end of your poles can be countered by more direct engagement. >> that's our secret sauce. it's extremely good and excellent politician we are

excited to get out to all of our states. >> the biden-harris team they will hit full steam by early summer. we are seeing more pointed may be more aggressive being re- used. this was sent out yesterday. it was titled in side to attack bertha patrol and women and banned the abortion pill. there's a graphic information to hitler i went to the leading opponent former president donald trump it was yesterday the decision was made to not fast-track that he is immune from charges of plotting to overthrow the 2020 election parade this sense the case to federal appeals court and likely delays the trial start date. president biden asked today if it thanks any president against prosecution. he said quote i cannot think of one.

>> the supreme court has decided it will not for now decide on whether president trump is immune to prosecution in his interference case. special counsel jack smith requested the expedition decision for the issue inspect the u.s. court of appeals if a ttrump wins the merits of the case the charges against him will be dropped. former president's trial expected to begin on march 4. let's bring in sarah bedford investigative editor the washington examiner also a fellow at the steamboat institute. sarah, good to see you thank you so much for being here. first update march 4 a trial date how likely is that to move? what can americans expect in terms of timelines in process in this case? >> right now the march forth a trial date is really in jeopardy the appeals process could take a long time. the first step in the appeals process is for donald trump to go to a limited panel on the

circuit court and asked him to root the immunity claim if he fails there he can appeal to the whole court for what is known as a review which means every judge on the circuit court will hear the merits of the case for they will issue a ruling donald trump or jack smith that either of them do not like the outcome they can appeal it up to the supreme court and the supreme court does not have to review that on an expedited basis. it just showed it does not have an appetite to do so. i think the idea an open question then is a recent jack smith asked for the expedited review. justice department policy to not even have the appearance of trying to intervene in an election when you get into a certain window before november. >> and now we have the colorado supreme court on tuesday at makg the four -- three decision declaring former president trump may not be on the primary ballot here in the states.

the president's attorney had said they will appeal to the supreme court pro but here's a former attorney general built bar on that. >> i hope the court district the court has >> the stem very quickly. i think the legal argument here for it is ridiculous. i think even more importantly is highly destructive. it is exactly the kind of tactics by the left that created donald trump in the first place. they are the anything goes to sx that created trump in the first place and continue to breathe life into him. so the bogus cases in new york, the cases in atlanta and so forth strike from him. >> he has a point there. whether you are talking about polling, fundraising, both of those go up for the former president. every time his supporters and even some of his detractors feel he is being treated unfairly or targeted. >> that is right. president trump saying he's the

victim of a witch hunt for years now. it was easy to write off went may be used under investigation for one thing and there seemed to be some evidence of the public record at that time potentially there was some merit to it. but now, every time some frivolous investigation is opened against him charges are not well supported by evidence are brought against him it really reinforces the narrative donald trump has been pushing that he is being persecuted. i think even voters on the margins even independents were independence werenot inclined td trump is a victim are starting to her some truth in donald trump's message. and at this point i think collectively put legal woes he's facing or strengthening him politically even if he does basic conviction at this point progress and w i want to put upp here. because it really shows i want to ask if this is more of a trend. these are states with suits to bart trump from the ballot

pending litigation there are different stages of litigation. however, you can see how many are there. is this a trend? have the floodgates been opened at this point? >> it is a coordinated effort it's coordinated back groups in some cases with a democratic dark money that are funding the lawsuits challenging donald trump's eligibility to appear on the ballot on the grounds of him violated the 14th amendment. now, the danger for donald trump is because this colorado supreme court defined what happened on january 6 as insurrection excuse me, in the context of the 14th amendment that could put donald trump in danger of having other judges and other states cite that as a precedent sprayed that's why there is a consensus in the legal community the supreme court needs to act quickly so this is not a domino effect of other states citing the ruling to keep him off the ballot in states that are consequential for his election.

>> is a lot of states on that map. sarah thanks so much good to talk to you. >> attacking ships and interrupting international trade. all with the help of buy ron for his united states and its new coalition of partners in the region doing enough to stop it? doctor rebecca grant joins us next. now earns 5% apy. 5% apy? that's new! yup, that's how you business differently. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> israel ratcheting up attacks across gaza with the ports of hundreds of palestinian deaths in the past 24 hours. as the war rages on their fox news confirms iran's role in helping rebels target ships in the red sea a radiance by ship providing them with weapons and real-time intelligence for those drone mis and missile strikes. senior court foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot is live. >> hello this is pretty tough weather up here in tel aviv tonight. there has been some very tough battles down south israel slamming hamas targets all along the length of the gaza strip defense administered today it was with troops in the north which he now says is under his

country's control but remember that is after weeks and weeks of fighting. idf is also saying it's taking out compounds and tunnels in the southern city that's thought to be the headquarters of the group it all the combat coming out of price of five soldiers were killed today 144 since the ground were began. all of this is a side israel is not altering its aversion to battle even after yesterday's resolution the un security council calling for humanitarian cause. the writing of that was toned down to get them to go along even if it's just with an extension. critics say it's not strong enough to get sufficient aid into gaza. just a fraction of the necessary relief trucks got through today is the hamas supporting a ratinn backed fighters continuing their attacks on international shipping in the red sea and the past couple of hours. we have a new report of a possible hit fox has confirmed iranian naval spy vessel is relaying information to the rebels about the roots of the ship the placement of the ship.

no word on who is responsible for the strike earlier today on israeli linked ship in the arabian sea. meanwhile israel's getting help of fort leggett kind the idf reveals army dogs with body cameras are stiffing their way through hamas tunnels hunting down fighters, hunting down weapons, maybe even hostages. finally christmas in bethlehem in the west bank more subdued due to the war. a manger square this or tree, no lights, very few celebrations as the fighting goes on. there will be a midnight mass at the church of the nativity on christmas eve and the name of these there is of course a lot of hope for peace and quiet here. a lot of nasty noises throughout the region back to you. >> craig live in tel aviv thanks. >> even before fox confirmed iranian spy ship was helping attack red sea shipping the white house has acute to iran of

deeply involved in helping plan those drone and missile attacks. let's bring in doctor rebecca grant national security expert present a virus independent research. dr. grant, thank you for being here pretty want to start off with brand-new reporting from the wall street journals. in exclusive report that came out a couple of hours ago. that spoke about president biden calling benjamin netanyahu four days after the october 7 attacks urging him to stand it down on an attack against has a lot in lebanon to the north. in fact the airplanes in the air when the call came from president biden to prime minister benjamin netanyahu and he stood down this was of course all concerned about the white house being concerned about this projecting into a larger regional conflicts were in a morning what your responses to that new reporting? >> fascinating. airplanes in the israeli pilots like ours are used to getting a

last minute last second they can a dime. but what really caught my eye here that means the united states was using very sophisticated intelligence. telling netanyahu we see something else it looks to us like hezbollah's not getting ready to strike this was known all along there's very intensive intelligence cooperation coming from the united states to israel and partly in hopes of keeping a lid on that conflict in the middle east for. >> it also says something about the fact even in the early days the real emphasis was making sure this did not expand into a larger war in that region. >> fighting has been fairly blunt about this. israel has to restore it security we have one 100% support to israel hence the aide. but also we deploy military forces very quickly to send a signal to iran and the bigger piece we know is going on.

they don't talk about it very much. but the incredible space-based electronic -based aircraft maritime surveillance that we are contributing into the israeli defense forces that is making a difference at least in the context of the gaza conflict because united states and israel have stood alone. especially the united nations security council which a resolution was passed yesterday. the un united states abstain frm voting on this this resolution called for humanitarian causes between israel and hamas increased aid to gossett most important for the israelis and did not call for a cease-fire today. benjamin netanyahu president biden had a phone call. the president was asked whether he asked for a cease-fire today. biden said no he did not. how important is it that language was stripped from that resolution? >> i was really close it's very important because u.s. policy

obviously is not to demand an israeli cease-fire into israel's objectives of clearing out hamas military capability are met. but now it is real happy with the situation. it is sad and a way to see this is what the un has come down to. able to help get aid in we are glad to see that but unfortunately the un to solicit in preventing the violence is going on in the region. >> let's move on to the houthis in the red sea for their been over 100 attacks on 13 commercial vessels in the red sea over the last couple of months. there is pressure on the white house to do something about this. they have declassified information that shows we can confirm there's iranian spy ship that's being used to help with these attacks. there is also missiles and drones. the white house trying to ratchet it up. the evidence they have iran is part of this. they are trying to attack these

ships through the houthis rebels. i am wondering what you are thinking about the white house's move to declassify more intel rather than go on the offensive and attacked the houthis rebels and whether or not you think it's time to do so? >> d classifying and revealing information that is the biden white house standard tactic when they don't really want to take military action. i think it's time for iran and the houthis to get a rebuke. i will say operation guardian on this new release of information does give us the groundwork. my first choice would be chased the iranian cargo spy ship out of the red sea peers giving targeted information the houthis are not great tacticians with their relying on iran and crating a hughes disruption that's got to go for.

>> quickly they did not want to disrupt a peace deal it's a precarious situation we ran out of time but appreciate her joining us. >> thank you. >> thank you doctor rebecca grant thank you for being here. >> organized retail theft take a major toll on both large and small businesses shoppers rushed to the short stores this holiday season. criminology professor with tips on how stores can protect their products and their customers, next.

retail theft is causing large and small businesses billions of dollars. last year alone thieves made off with 112.1 billion in goods. up from 93.9 billion the year before. so tips on how businesses can fight back against theft of this holiday shopping season bring it university of miami criminology professor doctor alex piquero. thank you for being here. going to put up a survey before we get started here so kids can see the impact is taking a businesses here it's on stores survey 28% said they had to close a location. 45% said they reduced operating hours and 30% reduced or altered product selection. so doctor piquero what can businesses do because this is dire. >> is great to be with you. i wish we were not having this conversation to be quite honest here in my hometown of miami a very famous photoshop was

burglarized in the same kind of way. those mom-and-pop stores depend on selling product especially at this time of year. there are a few things they can do the first thing is very simple, very common is obviously the more eyes they have the better that they are. second is to hire security personnel. now of course those two things involve a cost to the retailers we have to bear that in mind. a third thing is to work with law enforcement to do random patrols around town in certain areas and certain businesses the mind of a high degree of risk for being burglarized or broken into. because you are speaking we are showing video of groups of people going in to the stores and robbing them of flash mob style. can you explain this a difference between a shoplifter someone who goes in and shop lifts not that that is okay but a difference between that and the organized retail crime? what's it's a great point you raise. there are two very different

kinds of thefts but both are theft. we have some data on a shoplifting. the problem is we do not have a lot of data on retail theft. there are some police department that have that. what we see on television these brazen acts they insight not necessarily fear but oh my gosh this is happening a lot. we just do not have the data for the national retail federation or a law enforcement at the national level but i think it's time we start to collect the data to understand the trends. >> now congress is getting involved but earlier this month the subcommittee on house homeland security committee held a hearing to address this problem. this is what the hearing was called quote from festive cheer to retail cheer addressing organized retail crime at home depot's vice president president testified these groups are getting even more dangerous and they care little about any consequences. so, what can congress actually do here? >> is a range of different things congress can do but one

of the first things i should do is increase the data collections to understand the problem. not just big retailers like home depot and target and best buy it also smaller retail smaller mom-and-pop restaurants. all that information is necessary. the second thing is we have to be very mindful of severe punishments versus increasing the certainty of apprehension. what we want to do is get the individuals who are considering this kind of crime to stop and think about the consequences of their doing so but more generally we have to get back to realize stealing is just wrong. all of those kinds of things are part and partial with overall crime prevention strategy. >> it seems like in some places it's getting harder to walk into a store and shop. go into a walgreens and the shampoo and yet or is locked up and you have to find someone to help you out. that is no fun. people see these videos, it is scary. we are in this last minute holiday rush right now. what can you tell folks at least to help them feel a little better about shopping? it is not easy right now.

>> i'm a regular person to take off my criminology hat. i would tell people this. there are fears that videos and the viral videos they do elicit fear in people. but i would recommend people go about their business watch their belongings, the goods, their cars, lock their cars. and be mindful of their surroundings. i want shopping twice today i'm going to add again after this segment we have to live our lives. we have to beat mindful of that. we also have to be mindful of the people working in these retail establishments. everybody wants a safe community where you can go and shop. it's all of us to do our part to make sure it happens. >> our country need small businesses they are so important and they are an integral part of our communities for integral part of our economy. we really need to come as you said get out there and live our lives for great advice. doctor alex piquero merry christmas good luck with your shopping today and thank you for
