it's clearly stood the test of time. beautiful. nothing says holidays, christmas, new year like a dark burgundy. chocolate covered cherries that we'll garnish the drink with. we add a little cream. stir it a little bit. this is the drink that maybe a few years ago all of us would have said grandpa would have liked. now we're getting a little older and maybe we want to take a little bit of this after new year's. >> this looks great. >> it smells so good. >> cheers, thank you so much for taking us all that we can make on new year's eve. we'll have a party. >> thank you very much. everybody is taking notes. >> thank you for joining us. your top seller. what is it? best selling drink?

>> mike: hundreds of pro-palestinian protestors causing chaos at an airport on one of the busiest times of the year. good morning, i'm mike he manual in for bill hemmer. >> molly: i'm molly line in for dew point. protestors threw objects at officers, assaulted two of them. protestors carried banners with messages like di vest from genocide and let gaza live. a similar scene playing out at lax. bumper to bumper traffic stretched across all three lanes. >> police making dozens of arrests on most airports. the protests come as new york city goes on high alert. the nypd is taking precautions to prevent anti-israel protestors from disrupting the new year's eve ball drop.

>> molly: alexis mcadams has the latest. >> not just here in new york that this happened. chaos from coast to coast with police arresting 63 people at those two protests in la and new york city. over at jfk airport protestors blocked the roads and some travelers had to walk with their bags to try to make their flight. watch. [shouting] >> that was really not fun for those travelers trying to get to their flights. 26 arrests yesterday remained at jfk for disorderly conduct and blocking traffic. the port authority dispatched two airport buses to pick up the travelers to help them reach the airport safely and on time. a similar situation at lax if los angeles. one of the busiest airports in the country. protestors holding banners that read divest from genocide and

free palestinian as they locked their hands and stood in the roadway t. protestors used anything from construction debris that they could find, road signs, tree branches and blocks of concrete to block that road. investigators say the demonstrators attacked uninvolved cars. people that had nothing to do with it trying to pick up people at the airport and a police officer was thrown to the ground there. that officer was not badly hurt. one person was also arrested for battery on a cop. at least 36 others were arrested for rioting. the police department posting this on x. the lapd's objective is to preserve public safety and the first amendment rights of those demonstrators. this was not a peaceful demonstration. more protests are planned in the coming days across the country, not a surprise. this is going on for months. here in new york city the mayor says they are prepared for pro-palestinian protestors who could interrupt the new year's eve ball drop in times square. they'll use drones and other

equipment to try to monitor those crowds. >> molly: these protests remind me of climate protestors we've seen across the world on the issue, similar antics and strategies. what is the law enforcement plan to address this? >> they have had to deal with this pretty much every weekend. thursday, friday, saturdays where they block roadways and bridges. so they have to roll with it. molly and mike, how to use the drones to monitor the crowds and see how big they get. for this they'll have tactical equipment. police officers that are in unmarked vehicles, police officers in plain clothes and have eyes to make sure they can keep everybody safe on new year's eve to have all those people out there in times square. they'll block the area around noon on sunday anyway. they want to make sure they can stop the protestors from getting into those crowds. >> molly: thank you so much. really appreciate the reporting.

definitely something to keep an eye on as we inch closer to new year's eve. >> mike: the u.s. service member critically injured in a christmas day attack on an air base in iraq has been transferred to a hospital in germany in critical but stable condition. he was one of three injured in the attacks on the erbil air base attack. 106 american bases have been targeted by iran proxies since october. >> molly: white house officials meeting with mexico's president at the southern border yesterday discussing the surge of migrants. both sides say there was progress. gillian turner monitoring all of this live in mexico city with the latest. gillian. >> hi, molly. both secretaries blinken and mayorkas came here with one

assignment. to get help stemming the crushing tide of migrants from mexico into the united states illegally. it's notable that neither of the cabinet secretaries who traveled here went to the border to see the crisis firsthand. the delegation, though, was all smiles at the national palace with mayorkas tweeting we had a very productive meeting with the president and members of the cabinet today in mexico city. the regional challenge of migration requires regional solutions and we appreciate mexico's commitment to continue its efforts alongside us and with others. now one immediate priority for the biden team is getting mexico to crack down on cartels. the mexican president made clear he views the border crisis as a u.s. problem saying recently he is willing to try and help, but only if the u.s. lifts sanctions and sends more aid money to cuba and venezuela. >> we will boost as much as we can to help maintain and orderly flow of migrants.

there was an abnormal surge of migrants recently. >> between last friday and this monday they encountered over 35,000 migrants and nearly a quarter million for the month so far. those numbers have left republicans unimpressed. >> blinken's visit to mexico is all about paying lip service to this issue. we're seeing independents, republicans and democrats getting very angry about what they're seeing at the border. >> president obrador gave remarks this morning. we don't have those to play for you yet on air but we will shortly. the highlights number one, they agreed to reopen those rail crossings along the southern border that have been closed for nearly a month now. that is big news that will impact a lot of americans. he also said that the issue of fentanyl, the drug that mexican cartels are trafficking to the united states in historic numbers, was hardly discussed. we're following up to get more details.

>> molly: we'll wait for those. gillian turner from mexico, appreciate it. >> mike: let's bring in art dell quade owe from the national border patrol council. good morning. we don't have a ton of details about the meeting but the mexican foreign minister said about it, quote, the importance of reopening border crossings is a priority for mexico. we're talking about the economic part as well as the structural causes of migration. your thoughts, art. >> well, i think the meeting was smoke and mirrors and they will sit there and talk about what's important to mexico. how about what's important to the united states and the american people? securing our nation's borders, stopping the drug flow and illegal traffic coming into the united states. this is just a hey, we went down there but nothing will get resolved. >> the mexican president said now more than ever a good neighbor policy is essential.

what do you make of that? >> well, again, you know, i think it's a 1--way street right now on their end but a good neighbor is they would crack down on drug smuggling and cartels that they know are operating in their country. at the end of the day they can't just continue to ignore it. unless our administration actually comes down hard and says hey, we actually need you to be involved. we need you to do something and what is in it for the american public as well, this is just going to continue. it was just a check a box meeting. >> mike: we've been reporting another convoy of 6,000 or so is heading for the southern border. the immigration situation, resources on the u.s. side of the border already really maxed out. court cases are really at a crisis level. immigration court backlog surpasses record breaking 3 million pending cases. how do the courts ever dig out from that? >> they don't.

unfortunately it will take many years before they figure this one out. when you start seeing these big caravans, 8,000 plus you see come to the border those caravans are controlled by the drug cartels. you won't see one group of 8,000 cross in one particular area. what you will see is the drug cartels spread them out and use everything that they can to move them in certain spots and not move them in other spots because they know they want to stretch that 8,000 as much as they can because it creates that distraction that they continue to need so in the end they can cross more fentanyl, heroin and methamphetamine into the united states. >> mike: let's talk about your men and women on the front lines. i can't imagine what it feels like to wake up every morning there are more and more illegal migrants waiting for you at the border. how are they holding up in this crisis? >> it's frustrating. it is extremely frustrating. you have members of the media trying the best they can but certain areas along the border that is not releasing as much

information as they should be releasing. thankfully everything that's happening in texas, everyone is looking at the media attention that's getting put out. you have other areas in arizona, particularly on the reservation where you don't hear enough of what's going on and there is really small amount of agents that are working large groups in those areas with very, very minimum resources and, you know, a lot of gotaways that seems to be the big problem right now. >> bill: thank you for your time, sir, we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me on. >> molly: the biden administration is quietly shifting its strategy on ukraine reportedly seeking an off ramp for the war. we'll tell you the details of what is being said behind the scenes. house republicans broaden their impeachment probe. did president biden advise hunter to ignore a subpoena. homeownership now a fantasy for many americans.

territory. it is not that we're discouraging them from launching any new offense. shifting gears, here at home the american dream of homeownership may be slipping further away wall street says the average mortgage payment that's nearly doubled under president biden. more than $3300 a month today. does renting make more sense for now? here to weigh in is david asman, fox business anchor. >> my first house was in your neck of the woods in cape cod, massachusetts. i was lucky enough to get into a low mortgage rate and i eventually paid it off because i figured i would rather have the money than pay a bank for it. luckily i could do that. you have a low mortgage, too. to put a fine point on the figure you mentioned. it is 1700 to 1900 is what it was when biden took office for monthly payments if you have a mortgage.

it's now $3,300 a month. that's a 90% increase. and really owning a home is one of the most fundamental parts of the american dream. also having your own business and other parts of it. but homeownership is the core of the american dream and that part of the american dream is disappearing because people just can't by. as high as rents are right now people realize it is probably cheaper to have rent than pay these fees. it is a struggle. that's one reason why americans think the economy is bad. >> molly: i feel for the pome on the cusp almost there. going to get that first home and the interest rates crept up. you hop into any mortgage calculator and see what a big impact the interest rates have. how do you get started? >> the people trying to buy their first house are the ones struggling the hardest. mostly they are young, never owned a place before, and they can't jump into it. there is so much insecurity because their monthly expenses have skyrocketed in the past three years.

inflation is coming down a little. the rate of increase is not as high as when it was 9% about a year and a half ago, but it is still high compared to where it was when joe biden took office. and the reason why mortgage rates are so high is because the federal reserve has been raising rates to try to kill inflation. that's one way you can kill inflation. another way -- a better way is to increase incentives to produce more goods because the more goods you have in the economy, the lower inflation is as well. that would be tax cuts, regulatory cuts. but do you see any regulatory cuts coming from the biden administration? tax cuts? i don't see any. luckily they haven't raised taxes, but i don't see any tax cuts coming from this administration at all because they have this trillion dollar spending plans and that's what's causing inflation. the fed trying to kill inflation is what's causing rates to go up. it all comes back to what happened three years ago when we got new leadership in the white house. >> molly: there are some trends that show things are looking

better that interest rates may tick down a little bit. so if you're someone on the cusp of renting or buying and trying to make a decision, do you buy and hope you can refinance somewhere down the road or do you keep renting? >> people who are trying to figure out they take out a pad and pen and try to figure out how much their monthly expenses realize they just can't do it. another thing that's growing in a bad way is debt. consumer debt. a lot of people are using their credit cards to pay for it. some of these credit cards if you are overdue can pay 29% interest. it is just extraordinary. when they fact or all that in. how much debt they hold because they've been using debt to pay for inflation essentially they just can't do it. they literally can't pay. they would go into bankruptcy if they tried to buy a house. starting a new business is off the table. that's a problem as well. the good thing is the american economy is the best in the world right now.

and there is a lot of money, you can see that in the stock market. foreigners are pouring money in. it's the only place where you have the hope of something growing eventually and frankly i think some people are hoping for a change in leadership as well. >> molly: we'll see what 2024 brings. a lot of people watching things. >> i'll see you in cape cod. >> molly: thank you very much. >> mike: major companies responding to the growing controversy around diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. j.p. morgan, black rock, american airlines have altered or back tracked on their policies over potential lawsuits. lydia hu from fox business is live in new york city. good morning, lydia. >> good morning. the changes are coming after conservative nonprofits contacted the companies and demanded they cease employment processes based on race or sex. america first legal has contacted companies like starbucks, morgan stanley,

mcdonalds and others to demand, diversity, equity and inclusion policies end. a new analysis by reuters show six of those companies revised their policies. the changes mostly involved removing language that certain programs like scholarships or training were intended for specific under represented groups. that language changed. found that modified goals for increased representation, racial representation in the workforce has also changed. some advocates were eliminating dei policies hope altered policies promise changes in the hiring practices. >> my hope is that it's sincere. we'll see. a lot of this dei growth was created from pressure why activist groups, interested media organizations. so a lot of this wasn't an internal organic enterprise to begin with.

now companies are looking at the bottom line and shareholders. >> after a boom the layoffs and -- it shows a 23% year-over-year drop in job postings for dei jobs. mike, looking ahead we can expect more debate, more intense debate in the coming year, election year. two gop candidates that banned dei initiatives. trump and desantis. we also had the recent supreme court decision on affirmative action and college admissions. it ended affirmative action and it will inspire more challenges to dei in the employment arena. we'll keep our eye on that. >> mike: thanks very much. >> it sounds to me you think if the election were held today biden would lose. >> me and everybody else.

>> democrats losing faith in president biden's re-election chances. some of the president's most staunch defenders have some choice words for critics within the party. plus californians are fleeing the state in droves. why the golden state is losing its luster next. its luster next. hi, i'll have the avocado toast... minus the avocado. so, toast? yeah. everything is so expensive these days. hey, chevy gets it. that's why they're keeping prices down to earth. like on the most affordable ev in america. ♪ a super strong and capable chevy truck. ♪ and a high-tech chevy suv. ♪ why is chevy making affordable vehicles, connected by onstar? so together we can do more. -hey there. -hey. -hi.

hey there. how are you? i'm with disabled american veterans. i was wondering if you had a quick minute to thank america's veterans for their service and sacrifices -of course, why not? -oh, sure. -absolutely. -sure. all right. well, come on in here. i'm just going to hit record on this. i would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. i can't even think of the words to say of how grateful i am. i want to tell you guys how much, how much we appreciate. but most importantly, i want to thank you for your courage and bravery. wow. thank you. someone here who'd like to say something to you? oh god, you guys are awesome! someone has something they want to say to you. oh my goodness! how's it going? awe! so i will let you know how much appreciate it. how much we appreciate it! just feel honored, for everything you've done. thank you for myself, thank you for everybody. i get to live every day, you know, in peace because of you.

>> mike: south carolina senator lindsey graham taking a chicken fight in miss own hands. visited a new york city chick-fil-a continuing his attack on new york for pushing a new law that would force the restaurant to open on sundays. >> so the state of new york where i'm at wants to pass a law to make chick-fil-a stay open on sunday. if you can have a satan club in high school they can certainly close on sunday because it's the

lord's day. >> mike: he threatened to withhold federal funds for states who make them state open on sunday. after the show yesterday. i went home and did a chick-fil-a run. my family are big fans. but i think most customers are used to them being closed on sundays and obsess about it the other six days of the week. >> molly: one right across the street and have a chick-fil-a snack today. it applies to rest stops in new york state. we'll see how it shakes out. they are looking into it. it could impact chick-fil-a. one to watch. >> mike: politics of chicken. >> molly: census data shows more californians are fleeing the state. they saw a population decline for a third year in a row last year. william la jeunesse live in los angeles there in the golden state with more on this. william. >> well, molly, many argue the

state is beginning to pay the price for its progressive politics. why? the state isn't just losing population to other states, about 750,000 in the last several years, but also revenues. california now projecting a record $68 billion deficit. but the bigger story here is who is leaving? for the first time more highly educated high earning professionals are leaving the state than coming in. why is that a big deal? these are the taxpayers who foot the bill for the state's progressive politics, programs, universities, and pensions. >> the 1%, 150,000, 160,000 people out of a state of 40 million are paying near half the income taxes. >> so no state is more dependent on the wealthy. the top 1% pay 45% of the income

tax in california. their rate 13.3%. that combined with the state's high cost of housing double the national average is driving people away. >> i'm seeing anywhere from two to five clients a month calling me and saying we're leaving and it is not the younger people anymore. it's the age bracket of 55 to 65. the reason they're leaving that they are giving me is primarily for tax reasons. >> so if you combine take the loss of those high-income retiring baby boomers trying to stretch their 401ks along with the flight of the high-earning professionals going elsewhere, it means a 25% drop in state income tax revenues and perhaps a loss in state services. although with this santa claus rally people are talking about, that may change things. where are people going? they are going to lower tax arizona, no tax texas, florida,

tennessee, and nevada. back to you. >> molly: have to think about things in the long term if people are going to make those decisions. thank you. >> i think trump could win in pennsylvania. >> it sounds to me like you think if the election were held today biden would lose. >> well, me and everybody else. >> democrats raising red flags about president biden's re-election bid as his poll numbers suffer in key swing states like his home state of pennsylvania. washington examner, national political reporter joins us now. selena joins us. >> good morning, mike. >> mike: an interesting exchange between a "politico" reporter and john fetterman, the senator from pennsylvania, let's put it on the screen. fetterman responds to a question about the president's poll numbers. there is a whole lifetime in politics between now and next november. while there are democrats that are being very critical about the president, i'll use this as another opportunity to tell

james carville to shut the [bleep] up. it is a family program. i won't go further than that. what do you make of that, selena? >> well, i'm not surprised and he is not wrong. as we all know, there is an entire lifetime in american politics. if you look at a snapshot right now of president biden, he is in trouble. but that doesn't mean that he can't regain it. i think the onus is on him to get out there and campaign and talk with voters and be more accessible. but you have to remember, fetterman has had -- always had a keen understanding of what's going on in the state. he ran for the u.s. senate the first time in 2016. he lost in a primary but he stunned everyone two reasons. he came in very strong for someone who was just the mayor of a town of 1800 people.

but also after going around the state, he said, you know, trump could win this year and you all aren't paying attention to that. and so i think it would be fool hardy to dismiss what fetterman is saying. he does have good political instincts. but pennsylvania, of all the battleground states, is going to be the hardest for both -- if it's trump and biden it will be the hardest for both to win. while the voters are trending more republican in voter registration, last year in 2022, republicans got creamed. they lost the governor's race, the senate race, they lost the state house majority. so republicans are not in a great place in terms of what they have done in the last election cycle. so i think pennsylvania is a

state where anything can happen. >> mike: let's look at some numbers in pennsylvania. more than 35,000 democrats have switched to the republican party. more than 15,000 republicans have switched to the democratic party. a net loss of nearly 20,000 voters for the democratic party. is that a warning sign for president biden? >> absolutely. you never want people to leave your party. in particular if you are the cause. he has to figure out what is not working. what part of his message is not working. it could be a number of reasons. i think that voter registration change is very reflective of how the coalitions in the party have changed. philadelphia suburbs used to be very republican. they are now becoming very democrat. the west where i live used to be very democrat and now becoming very conservative. that's why i still think pennsylvania is going to be

battled for all the way up to the finish line. it is not going to be easy. it will be one that both men, if it's trump and biden, who fight to the finish for this state and it's a state to watch. >> mike: then there is the president's cabinet secretaries juggling multiple crises while the president is on holiday in the caribbean. the defense secretary countering threats from iran and also the immigration and is that bad optics heading into an election year? >> yes. any times you have those kind of optics telling you ---you are juggling multiple chris east that is always a problem for an administration and ultimately for a president's re-election. you know, the border crisis was seen for a long time as only something that republican voters cared about. but we have seen again the

coalition change along the border states and seats in congress that were once held by democrats for generations are now being held by republicans. so it has become a multi-party problem and a multi-party crisis. and i am still befuddled is maybe the word by the lack of addressing this by biden and by the administration. >> mike: selena from "the washington examiner." thank you so much. a busy year in politics. >> see you out there. thank you. >> molly: it's a little dark out there. we're looking at moscow, idaho as demolition crews are tearing down the house where four university of idaho students were murdered nearly a year ago. could that crime scene still hold crucial evidence? relatives of the victims fear it's the case. the trial slated for next year.

>> mike: demolition crews are knocking down the house where four university of idaho students were murdered last year. victims' families believe the house could be vital to the investigation. christina coleman is there with the story. >> good morning, mike. that's right. that house where those four university of idaho students were brute le killed a little more than a year ago today is coming down right now. it is coming down fast. the crews were here early this morning with streets blocked off and the walls are coming down.

the families of two of the four victims killed in that pre-dawn stabbing last year released a statement last night expressing their deep disappointment with the university for going forward with having the crime scene ripped down before this case goes to trial. they say they still have questions regarding the home. they want to know what sounds could be heard from the bottom of the house. whether the decks provided potential access points for the accused killer who in this case is bryan kohberger. take a listen. >> in a jury trial, you never know what might be valuable. and so the family feels like the house is a huge piece of evidence. it is the crime scene. you don't know what's going to need it or if it will be needed at all. >> however, in an email the university officials, prosecuting attorney in the county said he doesn't anticipate investigate horsed or prosecuting team needing the

house further. based on our review of idaho case law the current condition of the premises is so substantially different than at the time of the homicide that a jury view would not be authorized. i also met with a university spokesperson last night. she tells me the students have voiced they want this house gone. >> they look at it every day. they walk past it every day. there continue to be outsiders coming to town to want to see the house and are in the area. they knock on their doors and harass them. we're definitely listening to our students. listening to our community and ready to help them take that next step in healing. >> a trial date hasn't been set. the prosecution did file a request last week asking for the case to go to trial next summer when the school year is over. the house is coming down fast. something that some of the families wanted to stay in place. it is being ripped apart. back to you. >> mike: pre-dawn demolition in

moscow, idaho. >> molly: this story was incredibly gripping as it was unfolding. the loss of their loved ones. a killer remained on the loose for several weeks until authorities announced the arrest of who they believe is the killer, bryan kohberger yet to go to trial. here we watch the building being demolished. at least some of the family members of the victims have concerns that evidence could be destroyed. something that might be useful to a jury somewhere down the road. your thoughts as we're watching this. >> i think this has become an emotional issue, it is not a probative issue. certainly the house has been altered significantly. walls have been removed, sheetrock, pieces of the floor. there is no longer furnishings. of course, any evidence of blood or struggle or the homicide

specifically have been removed, retrieved. so i think people don't understand that a jury walk-through would be more confusing than helpful. that's the first thing. the jury would not get a lead-through by a detective or a prosecutor or a defense attorney nor could they ask questions or talk with each other. they wouldn't be in deliberation. it would be more confusing than helpful. the law enforcement agencies involved with this investigation have gone completely as extensive as they can to document as the scene was scene, as the scene was processed, as the evidence was retrieved, photographic videos, digital scanning, all these agencies have created something that the jury will get far greater information from than actually going on a field trip to the

home. >> molly: one of the points being made is this scene is so dramatically altered because of the collection of evidence that a jury trip would not have been an in the moment type of thing where they would see the scene as it was and instead there will be videotape and pictures as you are mentioning. the crux of this and the concern being raised is there any way this could somehow be of benefit to the defense? >> no, not at all. the defense agreed with the prosecution to demolish the house. they had no objection. there is no appeal process for this. there is no unfair trial. he is going to get his day in court and he agreed, bryan kohberger agreed with his defense counsel that they would not oppose the destruction of the house. they know that it would actually be against them in their motions in court, not for them.

and the prosecution knows it would be highly confusing for the jury. this rarely happens. this rarely happens. this is the theatrics of a case that hits national screens that people go through walk-throughs. this is not the normal course. >> molly: thank you, mark. we appreciate your insights this morning. wish you a happy new year. >> thank you. >> the city of chicago that won't be able to maintain this mission, it's the entire country now at stake. >> mike: brandon johnson with the warning for the rest of the united states. what will the country do now with december poised to break records of migrant encounters. if you're from west virginia university, go mountaineers we'll explain this after the break. ♪

younger brother, 14-year-old demark cuss getting jealous. he felt his older brother was getting more presents. the argument continued after they returned home to their grandmother's house. demarcus pulled out a .40 caliber semi automatic pistol. pointed it at his brother's head. the sister, 23-year-old mother of two rebuked markus saying it's christmas, don't fight. he pulled the pistol again, shot his sister, one bullet through the arm. killed her. this mother of two was carrying a 10-month-old infant at the time. the infant dropped, fell, but was unhurt. now we have a situation where eight seconds later the other brother runs out of the house and shoots his brother in the stomach, throws the gun and runs. both brothers arrested and here is what the sheriff had to say. >> i really think we need tougher laws to deal with these kids. as you can see with their

criminal histories, they are not getting the consequences that they should get that keep them from doing it again and again and again or deterring others from doing it again and again and again. >> both of these brothers had criminal histories from age 12. as it stands now 14-year-old chargeded with first degree murder. his 15-year-old brother charged with attempted first degree murder. 23-year-old sister dead, two children age ten months and six years old both now orphans. molly, back to you. >> molly: terrible and heartbreaking for this family. i think of the grandmother that this is what she is seeing on a christmas day. heartbreaking. thank you very much for that report. so sad. >> mike: second american hostage held by hamas has been declared dead. judy weinstein and her husband in their early 70s were shot and
