>> molly: president biden is offering up some new year's optimism. and he climbs we are now in the best position to lead the world. the president left out a few important details. namely the ongoing crisis at our southern border, the wave of crime that is sweeping through big cities and a lagging economic agenda. welcome to a special edition of "fox news live." i'm molly line. >> mike: i'm mike emanuel. president biden's economic agenda has been a key talking point during his reelection campaign. lingering inflation and high costs have kept his message from resonating with american voters. the president into the economy during his new year's message last night. buys my hope is that everyone has a healthy, happy, and safe new year.
8:02 am
i hope they understand that we are in a better position than any country in the world. and we are coming back and it is about time. people are in a position to make a living now and they have created a lot of jobs. and i guess i just feel good that the american people have been through a tough time with the pandemic, but now we are coming back. they are back. >> mike: lucas tomlinson is live with more is live with more on the president's new year's message. lucas? >> reporter: mike koster, was also no mention from the president last night about those u.s. navy helicopters killing those houthi rebels in the red sea in self-defense. on a much lighter note, we also heard from the first lady last night. >> dr. biden, your hopes for america? >> i think it is what i would always tell my students, be positive. be optimistic and be kind to one another. happy new year. >> happy new year.
8:03 am
enjoy two scoops of ice cream tonight. >> reporter: our colleagues at "the wall street journal" kept a list of the promises. biden followed through on a campaign pledge to cancel the keystone pipeline and biden promise to stop all new offshore drilling but the administration said it planned to schedule three new leases in the gulf of mexico. the united states is now producing more oil than any country effort has. critics say the ball of that is private lands want to see more drilling on federal lands. here is the president's chief economic adviser on fox news on his bullish outlook on 2024. >> some of what you are calling is really a return to normal levels of credit card delinquencies or debt levels. if you look at how much it cost people to service their debt, even as interest rates have gone up, in quite -- they are in
8:04 am
quite good shape. >> reporter: responding, the record-setting number of credit card debt in the united states, over $1 trillion now, the most in american history. not everyone on that "fox news sunday" program was convinced with what he was saying. >> the biden administration is extremely rosy when they talk about the economy. they seem to think everything is going incredibly well. i think it makes a lot of voters feel that the biden administration just has no relationship to reality or no understanding of what it is like to go to the grocery store, put the same items in the card that you have been putting in for years and just have the price skyrocket. >> reporter: mike, hamilton spent part of his childhood in st. croix here, and he wrote an essay about a hurricane that struck on the island and the town that came together, when he sent into the counties. the rest is history. perhaps president biden will take some of that message home
8:05 am
to washington. >> mike: i found it interesting that the president spoke to ryan seacrest. when i covered the bush and obama white house is, they always ended the year with a press conference. interesting contrast. lucas tomlinson, thank you very much. molly? >> molly: for more on this, we bring in small business expert gene. thank you for giving us your time. we are talking about the president. he has been painting as has been noted this rosy picture of the economy and there are some economic indicators to say things are maybe looking better on the housing market. your thoughts on the way the president paints it and how the american people feel about it? >> molly, it is funny. i so agree with the comment that those are forgot the woman's name. she was on.
8:06 am
the president painting a picture that is not connecting with reality and all you have to do is look at the numbers. if you are a consumer to an average buyer, you are paying 22% more for a car than you were when president biden took office. you are paying 25% more in gas, eggs are of. 57% since biden has taken office. and meanwhile, rents are up 21%. i'm throwing these numbers out just to give an indication that although inflation levels have been coming down, both consumers and businesses big and small or dealing with significant double-digit increases in their cost and their incomes. that is what the reality is in what is going on and i think it doesn't really hurt his credibility that he is ignoring that. >> molly: you know, in one of our recent fox news poll, only 14% say they have been helped by
8:07 am
the biden's policies. and inflation taking down other things. perhaps the fed not hiking interest rates. it could help americans. but will any of it come in fast enough that the american people will feel it and it could be due -- it could do something for president biden? >> i think it is the opposite. the fed hiked interest rates so fast that i think we are only seeing now, the absorption of the higher costs, both on consumers and small businesses. it is a and have%. most of my clients are paying a couple points above that. a lot of the debt is coming due. a lot of them can't refinance. even if the fed and hopefully that will reduce interest costs, it takes a while for that to reverberate throughout the economy and i don't think any reduction is going to have a big impact.
8:08 am
>> molly: the president was asked about his economic outlook and here is what he said. spoke about the economy, sir, what is your outlook on the economy? >> president biden: all good. take a look. >> molly: all good, take a look. this is essentially where he is insane, it is the way you are reporting it. you are not saying it right. as you pointed out, people can go to the grocery store and read the prices that are there. >> yeah, that is exactly right. it is -- you really have to be cessa -- suspect of anyone who says all of the economy is good. all is not good. you talked to people in the real estate industry and they are suffering. even manufacturing has been down like 13 months in the road. there are some industries that are doing okay. retail and restaurants have recovered, and that is great news.
8:09 am
but you can't just make this blanket statement that the entire american economy is going good. there are plenty of people and plenty of businesses out there that are facing significant challenges this year. >> molly: what, depressed and possibly do? they struggled as far as communicating bidenomics, the numbers that they want to get out there. what can they possibly do in these next couple of months that would change the way americans feel? >> i really think that they need to start reporting the news accurately. i really think gets to putting these rosy numbers or rosy picture on what is a very challenging environment for a lot of people, i think the president should be and many, that yeah, costs have -- admitting that yeah, costs have gone up significantly. people are struggling right now. but i think the president's biggest mistake is he is not saying that. he is not admitting that people are challenged and struggling, even buying eggs and bread. and he is painting a picture
8:10 am
that all is good or all is rosy. that has an -- a significant impact on his credibility. >> molly: there's a wide variety of media covering this. there are entire portions of our media committed to doing that. there are headlines claiming that the economy was booming under biden every day americans. not feeling it and the headline from the atlantic reading, why americans hate a good economy. as i mentioned, the recent fox news polling found 14% of americans claim they have been helped by president biden's economy. i mean, those are some tough numbers heading into an election year. >> they really are but you know what i have also learned over the years? the economy has so much to do with psychology and sentiment. since the biden administration has taken office, there has been very much of a pro-worker, sort
8:11 am
of an antibusiness sentiment. there have been significant regulations. they have been following his lead. that really has an impact on businesses, whether or not they want to invest or hire or spend money. and that ultimately reverberate down to the consumer. if there was something to be done to increase the pro-business sentiment, that might have an impact. but i'm not feeling optimistic that is going to happen. >> molly: gene marks, thank you. have a good new year. >> mike: the u.s. strikes back against iran. there's a new warning. we will bring you the latest from the ground, up next. ♪ ♪

>> mike: to the conflict between israel and hamas, hamas fired a barrage of rockets. what is the impact on israel? >> first of all, it continues to show that the iron dome works extremely well and we should be thankful for that and says that as biden is complaining to israel of how they are taking part in indiscriminate bombing, that the only ones that are actually doing that is a hamas and it also shows that israel needs to be able to conduct basically a clean sweep of the gaza strip. only way they are going to be able to capture everything and reduce hamas' ability to attack israel like this. >> mike: then there's the pe people. 87 days after they were taken captive. what more can israel do about them?
8:23 am
>> that is always a hard one, mike. first of all, we have to assume they are still alive. if hamas is telling us they are still alive, it is hard to even believe them because they are habitual liars and cowards in the first place. in the end, what israel can do is keep doing what they are doing right now, going from north to south in hopes of being able to find and free those people. but they can't just stop. every time they do that, they seek some sort of advantage to hamas. potentially making the situation worse. it tells anybody else around the world, that, hey, take hostages, it works. >> mike: colonel, any sense on how the military operation is going for the israelis? >> for right now, what i'm seeing and hearing from people inside the country, it is going very well, the pace is exactly what you would expect from operating in that environment with the full three dimensions of tunnels and buildings and land and sea, all of the above.
