amount of time served will bring riva back. after his release from jail early today it is reported he is at his uncle's house in a suburb of pretoria, south africa to serve out his nearly six year long parole. bill, among the requirements of that parole, oscar pistorius performs community service and attends anger management classes. >> bill: what a story then and what it is today. thank you, greg palkot with that from london today. >> dana: earlier today bill asked me where were you when the story came out? it was 2013 and we were on "the five" and i remember we covered that extensively. >> bill: it tuned the world how accomplished he was and recognized throughout the entire country of south africa and good guy and they were proud of him. >> dana: he served 11 years, different system of justice. want to get you to this story.
7:01 am
the migrant surge in democratic run city spurring a blue city backlash. president biden is no stranger to republicans criticizing the border and now democratic mayors are piling on. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning. a fraction of what's coming across the border every day. enough to make sanctuary cities sound the alarm, plead for more help, beg for help from the federal government and the white house. the chaos becoming impossible to ignore. even thousands of miles away from the border as the crisis makes its way into big cities. now the mayors from democratic strongholds say the white house has left them to fend for themselves. >> the federal government must take responsibility and lead on this humanitarian crisis. >> cities have reached a point where we are either close to
7:02 am
capacity or nearly out of room. >> it will cramp city budgets around the country. $160 million of cost in next year's budget. 10% of our entire city budget. >> dana: denver's democratic mayor mike johnson is here. alexis mcadams live in new york city where the mayor is taking his own action. what would that be, alexis? >> well, mayor eric adams is now suing the charter bus companies bringing hundreds of migrants by the week here to the port authority in manhattan. he says he is fed up and is blaming the governor of texas saying greg abbott is doing this as a big scheme. >> we cannot bear the costs of reckless political ploys from the state of texas alone. these companies have violated state law by not paying the course of caring for these migrants and that's why we're suing. >> so let's take a look at the
7:03 am
lawsuit just filed in a new york state court this week. new york city is suing 17 charter bus companies for more than $7 hundred million for busing migrants in from texas, mayor adams blames them for the massive cost the city has had to dish out to feed, house and offer services to the migrants for the past two years. it is not slowing down. according to mayor adams, at least 33,000 migrants ant counting have been bused in since april of 2022 operation lone star that we've talked about on fox. initiative by tech as governor greg abbott and the texas department of public safety aimed at curbing illegal immigration. they are inundated every day with the migrant cringes. abbott released this statement saying every migrant bused in or flown to new york city did so voluntarily. that lawsuit comes one week after mayor adams issued the
7:04 am
executive order to curb migrant bus arrivals by limiting their hours. buses were rerouted to new jersey. when they showed up there officials sent them on trains to new york city. this is what new jersey governor phil murphy had to say. >> we're monitoring this very closely. this is a national issue. we need congress to take action period. >> it's not just the mayor of new york storks also the governor of new york and bill who is backing this lawsuit 100%. the mayor and governor have a press conference in a short while and we'll ask them about the ongoing migrant crisis. >> dana: thank you so much. joining us now is the democratic mayor of denver mike johnson. great to have you. knowing you from just -- i follow denver news, my hometown and i look into it. you have a reputation as somebody who wants to solve a lot of problems. i know you know a lot about government. you are a practical person and looking for some solutions.
7:05 am
right now i saw in the clip from last sunday you said this crisis is costing you 10% of your city's budget. which was money you probably wanted to go somewhere else. what can you as a mayor sort of new under the scene. what could you do to force some sort of new policy that will get this situation under control? >> yeah, i appreciate it. an honor to be on with you. pride of csu pueblo. there is a way to solve this problem and three key steps for us. one is we do think that we should have expedited processing of these asylum claims. they should take 30 or 90 days and not six years. when folks arrive in our city, we want them to be have the ability to work. work authorization when they arrive they can support themselves and we don't need federal or state support. we want a coordinated entry system.
7:06 am
the country to work to figure out where migrants should arrive and where there is capacity the same way we did with refugees from ukraine and afghanistan. we want the country to figure out how to manage the distribution process. >> dana: work permits. there are a lot of people in the country we need more workers and i'm for legal immigration. if you do work permits without securing the border won't incentivize more people to make the trip across the border and come here illegally? >> you know, i think we're calling on congress to take action on what they think the right border admission policy is. above my pay grade. whether they have 10,000 or 5,000 enter a day the key for us when they arrive in our cities they need to work. nothing more unamerican than having someone arrive and beg me every day for the chance to work and us to say we won't let you work, we want you to stay here and be supported by taxpayer dollars for not working. they want jobs.
7:07 am
i get calls from ceos every day saying i have open job, why can't i hitch these folks? let's put them to work. >> i understand dana's question and you told "the new york times" saying we won't sit by and watch moms and 6-month-olds in tents on the streets in ten degree weather. i think america would agree with you on that. but why not start at the source? why not push for a policy change at the border so you can deal with this long before it comes to your city? >> yeah, again we're open to what congress decides they want to admissions policy to be. it's not our decision. we have had more than 36,000 migrants who arrived this year and successfully integrated all of them into work or housing until just the last month and that was because those folks came with work authorization under temporary protective status through october. that expired and folks could no longer work we saw people in
7:08 am
tents and encampments. if people have the ability to work mayors say we have more than enough capacity to put them to work. with don't want people here to expect cities to foot the bill. >> bill: you are a purple state and power and you are a democrat. you can call this white house every day of the week if you like. have you? >> i have called the white house. i've talked to secretary mayorkas and the white house and we're pushing for those changes. this is why we were glad that secretary mayorkas did that temporary protective status keep our cities going through the fall. folks responded by trying to impeach him for that. it was him supporting cities and trying to manage this successfully. yes, we're talking to the white house and told them we need more federal aid and why there are dollars in the supplemental budget to do that and to adjudicate the claims more quickly and provide more security. there are dollars to do that. there is a common sense path to do both.
7:09 am
>> dana: texas bus population to various states according to abbott's office they've sent 95,000 or a little more than that out of their state. they have had 1.5 million just this year cross into texas. do you have some empathy for what abbott is dealing with given that border is so wide open? >> i do have empathy and i don't think any one state should have to solve the problem alone or every one city. i've offered to work together with abbott. what we want is what would help him also. a coordinated national plan where these migrants arrive and texas shouldn't have to bear the entire brunt nor denver, chicago or new york. we have 100 cities, 50 states could welcome people, have vacant jobs if we could make them arrive with work authorization, federal support and coordinated plan. i would be happy to work with abbott. >> you have power, you can do
7:10 am
something with it. >> we're working hard on it. it was a pleasure. >> bill: the pride of pueblo. >> dana: he seems like somebody who you could work with, okay? as you said he has a voice, some power, he worked in obama administration and knows higher education, you have no mayors, brandon johnson, adams, the new woman parker out of philadelphia. all of these cities have a similar problem and they could band together and they need to. why i asked the question about abbott. do you understand what abbott is going through? he said he did. >> bill: i would point a lot of viewers to the "new york times" piece how the democrats are putting pressure on the white house during an election year. they write about. increased the likelihood mr. biden and lawmakers to approve concessions that would have seemed improbable a few years ago. that's where the argument is going now. >> dana: we could see more on that next week as the budget
7:11 am
fight heats up. we'll keep you posted on that. >> bill: in the meantime we have a 6th grade student killed and five others injured happened yesterday on our program here in the state of iowa. a gunman opened fire at a high school northwest of des moines. police have identified the chart as a 17-year-old student at per eave high school saying he was found dead with a self-inflicted wound. gunshot. he was armed with a shotgun and handgun and disabled an explosive device. hundreds came tonight to pray for the victims last night. the first day of class after the holiday break. four of the injured students and the fifth victim is believed to be the school's principal that was perry iowa from yesterday. >> unity is the path forward. rebuild the backbone of america. america's middle class and unite the country.
7:12 am
we have become too divided. >> dana: the biden campaign is targeting donald trump and maga extremism. he is planning to warn voters that a vote for trump could end democracy. chris tomlinson is live in blue bell, pennsylvania where the president will be campaigning today. hi, lucas. >> hi, dana. president biden is returning here to the critical battleground state of pennsylvania. a state he has visited more than any other state since becoming president. we're only 15 miles away from george washington's winter encampment at valley forge and president biden going to philadelphia ahead of the mid-term elections flanked by marine corps. yesterday karine jean-pierre explained why the president has come back here. >> january 6th was an unprecedented attack on our core principles and democracy and the rule of law and our constitution. this is something that the president takes very seriously.
7:13 am
it was disrespectful to our constitution, attack on our democracy and the president -- these are values we hold close as a country and nation. >> the bide campaign released its first campaign ad in 2024. >> there is something dangerous happening in america, an extremist movement that doesn't believe in our democracy. >> republicans say biden is running on january 6th and so-called democracy movement because he can't run on his record. >> i don't buy they actually believe it. if they really believed that the united states as we know it would cease to exist if donald trump was elected president, they wouldn't be sitting there with joe biden at 30% approval at a 70% wrong track, 75% of democrats don't want him to be
7:14 am
the nominee. >> 4,000 george washington soldiers camp at valley forge. it was about survival. washington said any man caught stealing food would be met by the lash and soldiers would bite down on a led bullet to suffer the pain. hence the term bite the bullet. >> dana: you learn something every day from lucas tomlinson. thank you, appreciate it. >> bill: thank you rick admiral. >> only when you take out something iran cares about, one of its field generals, some of its financial assets. only when you hurt the regime itself will peace be restored. sometimes you have to escalate to de-escalate. >> the u.s. taking out the man believed to be behind more than 100 attacks on our troops overseas. is the biden administration finally taking a stance? >> there are some parts of the country that haven't seen snow in 700 days.
7:15 am
millions of americans are under a winter storm alert as the first nor'easter, the snow and ice could be the heaviest on the east coast. >> dana: a mob of over 100 looters used a car to break in and snatched everything they could. it's time to take control and talk to a physician specialist about axonics therapy. you can even try it first to see if it works for you. visit findrealrelief.com to get started. oh booking.com, ♪ i'm going to somewhere, anywhere. ♪ ♪ a beach house, a treehouse, ♪ ♪ honestly i don't care ♪ find the perfect vacation rental for you booking.com, booking. yeah. why choose a sleep number smart bed? because no two people sleep the same. only sleep number smart beds let you each choose your individual firmness and comfort. your sleep number settings. it's so smart, it actively cools and warms up to 13

>> dana: millions of people from the carolinas to maine are under a winter storm watch as a develop nor'easter raced toward the east coast. the storm has the potential to end the snowless streaks in philly, baltimore and new york city. we hope this is the case for our own lily. she is desperate for it. forecasters predict the cities might be just impacted by rain
7:21 am
and wind. say a prayer that lily gets her wish. >> bill: we shall. major escalations in the middle east this week. israel killing a senior hamas commander in beirut. u.s. taking out an iranian-backed militia leader in baghdad while isis claims responsibility for a terror attack that killed nearly 100 people in iran. sabrina singh is with us now. a lot to get to. an active world. we're seeing whether or not we can keep the middle east with a lid on it right now. from what i understand, the individual who was targeted and taken out in eastern baghdad was traveling in a vehicle with another person which tells me we were tracking him. is this administration willing to hit again? >> look, we always reserve the right to protect our forces, to protect our people that are stationed whether in the middle east and around the world. the u.s. military took action against a known terrorist leader
7:22 am
that has led orchestrated attacks against u.s. forces in iraq and syria. i won't forcast any future actions. it is deliberate action by the u.s. military against a known terrorist leader that has again time and time again attacked u.s. forces based in iraq and syria who are there on the mission to enduring defeat of isis, you saw that yesterday and again i won't get ahead of any future action. >> dana: interesting that isis claimed responsibility for the attack in southern iran yesterday. are they making a comeback or what's happening there? is there more of an internal fight or are they continuing to try to plot and plan to kill our people? >> well, i think yesterday's attack or maybe the day before is a good reminder of the fact that isis still maintains a presence in the region and why u.s. forces are in iraq and in syria partnering with militaries in those countries to insure the enduring defeat of isis, we saw
7:23 am
that peak just a few years ago. we do not want to see a resurgence of isis, we're almost ten years out where they were out of a few miles out of baghdad. it is really important that attack serves as a reminder of why u.s. forces are in the region doing what they are doing every day. these attacks on u.s. forces distract from that mission and that's why we've urged time and again that iran call their militias that they fund, support, he equipment, operate and train to back down on u.s. forces. >> bill: we heard from the iraqi military. have we heard from iranian leadership? >> again, i would refer you to the iranian government to speak to that. we have urged very publicly in our conversations that we have urged the irgc backed militias, a groups funded by iran to cease
7:24 am
support and back down. a robust presence of u.s. forces in the eastern mediterranean, a coalition of international partners to combat the houthi attacks that are backed by iran in the red sea at commercial vessels that are just transiting, as you know, i know you've spoken about this on your program. 15% of the world's commercial trade goes through that very important waterway. you are seeing an international coalition of partners with the u.s. military really pushing back and protecting commercial shipping in the red sea as well. >> dana: taking aggressive action there is critical. the supply chain problems we had after covid. this could happen again if that sea isn't protected. also want to ask you about this. xi of china has a new year's resolution he will reunite taiwan with china. they also sent a spy balloon over taiwan.
7:25 am
here is mike gallagher on that. >> president biden is saying because china is facing domestic economic problems, it's less likely they will invade taiwan. there is no evidence to support that. it is just as possible that xi will survey the world. receive the u.s. looks weak, we're consumed with two regional wars and he may never get a better chance to achieve his life long ambition of taking taiwan by force if necessary. >> dana: is the biden administration committed to preventing that from happening? >> look, we have outlined from the beginning of this administration and the secretary has said this time and again that china remains our pacing challenge. we haven't taken our eye off the ball when it comes to china. just to push back on the congressman's comments there are two regional wars happening in europe and in the middle east. that just shows the power of the united states military. we can do many things at once. we can have forces securing the nato flank in poland and elsewhere and we can also support israel and its fight to
7:26 am
root out a terrorist organization in gaza. and we can continue to keep our eye on the ball on china. again, i would -- i can't comment more specifically on what china intends to do but i can tell you this department has certainly and is going to continue to keep an eye on what is happening in the indo-pacific. >> bill: thank you for your time. our u.s. military men and women overseas deserve our support and defense. >> dana: happy new year. >> thank you. >> more months going to every part of iowa shaking every hand. >> i put in a lot of time in iowa because doing 99 counties is the way it's done here. >> dana: nikki haley and ron desantis clashing with days to go before the iowa caucuses. gop candidates are there. will it be enough to catch

7:31 am
(jennifer) the reason why golo customers have such long term success is because we focus on real foods in the right balance so you get the results you want. when i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they don't believe me. they don't believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. the release supplement makes losing weight easy. release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your blood sugar levels between meals so you aren't hungry or fatigued. after i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. since starting golo and taking release, i've gone from a size 12 to a 4. before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. after taking release, that stopped. with release, i didn't feel that hunger that comes with dieting. which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. since starting golo and release,
7:32 am
i have dropped seven pant sizes and i've kept it off. golo is real, our customers are real, and our success stories are real. why not give it a try? >> dana: donald trump will be in iowa today for a pair of rallies. his first of the new year. three other gop candidates events are holding events around the state before the iowa caucuses. mark meredith is live in washington with more. >> good morning to you. former president trump is back in iowa tonight determined to hold onto his polling lead. he says it's a two-way love fest. what happens in i've with a can set the course for the rest of the gop primary. ron desantis and nikki haley both launched fresh attacks against trump claiming they're the only ones who can win over
7:33 am
moderates. >> donald trump is not willing to show up on the debate stage. has he come to many cowen tease and answered questions and gone to all 99 counties or nine counties? that's not the way to do it. >> chaos follows him and we can't be a country in disarray and have a world on fire and go through four more years of chaos, we won't survive it. you don't fix democrat chaos with republican chaos. >> haley's critics are saying if she comes up short in iowa it would be up to new hampshire to correct the record. haley said it was more of a joke. ramaswamy doing all he can to stay competitive selling $33 million of stock to fund his campaign. the campaign paying it is a significant investment in their operations and we expect to see candidates barnstorming iowa. trump will hold four rallies
7:34 am
between now and saturday afternoon. >> dana: what's going on over there? >> bill: on the board here going back to 2012 among republicans in the iowa caucus, can you make a comeback? we'll say what the polling numbers say about donald trump. we went back to 2012, ten days away from the caucus, 30 days out. newt gingrich 26%. he finished just below 14. rick santorum was below five and won it. the biggest change we saw a shade under 12% in 2012. can you catch up? you can but not easy. another thing i want to show you right now. this is stunning, dana. donald trump, nikki haley, ron desantis get a lot of press time, right? ramaswamy not so much. he made 278 visits to iowa and done the full grassley not once, he has done it twice, 99
7:35 am
counties, 198 counties throughout the state. that's what he is trying to do. if you look, trump is the lowest at mark pointed out in his report. how little ramaswamy is spending out there. could it be a surprise ten days away? maybe, something we'll watch. nikki haley far and away has taken the most reservations on television time for advertisements coming up over the next ten days. she is trying to make a late push. this is what we found in our latest fox business poll. donald trump where is he right now? iowa back in mid-december he was at 52%. ron desantis 18, quick math puts that at 34% between trump and desantis and haley at 16. we'll be there and see how it goes. back to you, dana. >> dana: check this out here. >> we have had more than 36,000 migrants arrived this year. we want the country to work to figure out where migrants should arrive and where there is capacity. we know how to do this.
7:36 am
>> dana: that was denver mayor mike johnston speaking about the migrant crisis affecting his city. democratic mayors are trying to band together to fight back at their cities are crumbling and calls for aid from the federal government have gone unanswered. let's welcome back tyrus and taylor rigs. it is costing 10% of the city's budget johnston said. they didn't anticipate that when they were initially doing the budget. what he really wants is for them to get work permits. i can understand why. then the incentive to keep coming doesn't end. >> i agree. it increases the incentive to keep coming if you give them work permits. i don't know what else they'll do with these people. when you think about the economics and financial aspect of this city budgets are finite, not unlimited. if you only have x percent of dollars to spend and spending 10% on migrants it is taking money away from schools that
7:37 am
could be improved, water and sewer systems that could be improved. local transport systems that could be improved and so all that money is taking away from residents who have been there, taxpayers who want to see some of those local things actually improve. >> bill: do you see anything changing between now and -- >> i don't see anything changing. nothing has changed since the first day the biden administration took over. they opened the gates and now we're seeing before we've actually, what might happen while i'm sitting talking we might see moderate democrats stand up and see democrats try to take their party back from progressives. we talk about the numbers that we've seen that have been caught where it's almost a state in terms of population. let's say that maybe 40% got away and we got at least 60%. the numbers are bigger than that. these democratic states that were so happy to go along with just winning, getting in the
7:38 am
house, opening up the thing. now they're saying wow, the unaffected are affected. now all of a sudden the crazy gop who are talking about protecting the border they make sense. look at mayor adams in new york what he is going through. maybe it's not party first. maybe it's city first. >> bill: adams can't find a way out. he is going after bus companies. >> there is no help. if you ask the white house, jpk says it's doing fine. >> dana: bus companies, what did we do? another story wanted to get to. tyrus, you have been in movies. hunter biden is going to be in a documentary. what do you think of his strategy. the "new york post" cover here. we don't think that's what his documentary will show. >> it will be some kind of van gogh picture of him being held as a baby by his father. i would love to have a budget to make a documentary of myself . i will be the sweetest hero
7:39 am
ever. a dove landing on my shoulder. this is a campaign to try to convince us he is not broken all these laws and done all these things. >> bill: if i were hunter biden, i would do it too: >> how he wants to be portrayed painting, raising his son. >> everything he thinks he is as opposed to what he actually is. that's movie magic. >> dana: an interesting strategy. i'm curious from a communications standpoint how it goes. when you have legal problems the lawyers say keep quiet. >> sam bankman-fried's lawyers said don't talk. >> they think they are smarter than the system and talk their way out of anything. they are human shove el that keeps digging. >> dana: i want to get your reaction to this, tyrus.
