♪ ♪ >> greg: out of time. thanks to joe devito, kat timpf, tyrus, entire studio audience. i love you, america. [applause] >> trace: good evening. i'm trace gallagher. it's 11:00 p.m. on the east coast, 8:00 here in

los angeles, and this is america's late news, "fox news @ night." breaking tonight, governor ron desantis says forget the polls, because his ground game will translate into a big win in iowa. it's a bold statement considering former president trump is leading ila by more than 30 points. the latest power rankings have just come out, and they indicate the very real possibility of a surprise in iowa or new hampshire. aishah hasnie is live in des moines, iowa, with more on the fox news town hall as well as the shake-up in the fox news power rankings. good evening. >> trace, good evening to you. that's right, desantis says don't count him out just yet, despite the stagnant polling on him at there recently. he says he is promising to exceed expectations here in iowa. tonight on the big stage he boasted about his ground game at the fox town hall and his team tells me they have more than

30,000 people committed to caucus for desantis. that's a big deal. he said it's time to elect somebody that makes bold promises and also delivers on those promises. he spent much of the day-to-day off the campaign trail and inside the d.c. court room. >> donald trump's nominee, the election is going to be that legal issues, clinical trials, january 6th. it'll be a referendum on him. it lets the election off the hook. i think the election needs to be a referendum on their failed policies, and we need to offer a positive vision to turn this country around. that's what i represent. >> trump take center stage at a fox town hall tomorrow. he is still in the lead on our brand-new power rankings here ahead in iowa and south carolina, but his lead in new hampshire are not as strong. that's where former south carolina governor nikki haley can really swoop in and take advantage. she's running about seven points

behind him in a recent cnn poll, and why she is now second over desantis in our power rankings released today. haley needs to win new hampshire to really show that she is a real rival to trump. desantis has to do well, exceed expectations here in iowa. this is really a do-or-die state for him. trace? >> trace: aishah hasnie live in des moines, thank you. let's bring in the "washington examiner" restoring america editor, kaylee mcghee white, and steve hilton. here's ron desantis in the fox town hall. watch. >> a year before the election of 1980, ronald reagan was losing to jimmy carter by 24 points. he will neck a massive landslide. my election in florida, november '22, i will neck the biggest republican victory in the history of the state. i had polls saying i was going to win by two, three, four points. they were way off. >> steve hilton, it sounds like

he's banking on the polls to be way off to give him a little boost. >> he's got to put a brave face on it. he did a good job of that tonight. what else is he -- what else has he got? he's way behind. not just in iowa, the really shocking indication of the complete collapse, really, of ron desantis' campaign is that poll we should from new hampshire where he is fifth in new hampshire. if he doesn't do really well in iowa, his campaign is basically over. >> trace: it really is, and a lot of people have echoed that. some people think former president trump -- talking about iowa here -- something he could pull record numbers. 46, even 50%. "the wall street journal" thinks the former president is a little bit reticent to really give the go on iowa and new hampshire. quoting here, "who's afraid of nikki haley? iowa and new hampshire have been known to surprise in the 45th president is behaving like that

is the verdict he fears." do you expect any surprises in iowa, possibly new hampshire? >> i don't. it would take a pretty momentous event for trump and finally fell 34-36 points, which is what we need to happen for desantis or nikki haley to come out on top in iowa. i will say, trump isn't campaigning as if he really cares about the first caucus states. consider just the number of events, compared to ron desantis. desantis has had about 99 campaign events across the state with suburban voters, rural voters. there was a mess of support in the primary and general. >> trace: i think that's fair. this is the early state polling. aishah hasnie alluded to this earlier but it's very instructive. you can see the huge leads that

former president trump has and then you kind of go down the list, and it starts to go down. nikki haley has a good showing in iowa and it could resonate throughout the rest of the primary. >> well, one step down the road, but look at south carolina, her home state. she's way behind trump in her home state. this is why this establishment fever dream, kind of the haley momentum everyone talking about, it's true. that is where independent voters get to participate in the primary. independent voters are important in the general election. and you have so many states on one day. the fact she did well in new hampshire, even if she wins new hampshire, isn't going to make a difference. >> trace: finally, kaylee, the power rankings. you have the front runner, the former president, a strong number one, that you have

nikki haley now at number two, ron desantis put on a brave face as steve was saying tonight, but you can feel there is now a shift in the lower ranks. >> there sure is but i think steve is right in that the g.o.p. primary is the race for second place. haley and desantis are head-to-head that it is again a tie for second place. i think the big difference here is the reason why we see desantis starting to fall behind is he's failed to distinguish himself in any significant way. while the establishment has touted haley as an alternative. so she's been able to sort of distinguish yourself here, desantis has not. >> trace: it's a good analysis. kaylee mcghee white, steve hilton, thank you both. from the campaign trail to the courthouse, former president trump made an

appearance today in washington, d.c., courtroom. his team went to the appeals court argued a sitting president has immunity from federal prosecution. this international correspondent kevin corke is live in d.c. with more on how the court responded. good evening. >> in that hearing that reviewed a motion from the former president's legal team to toss the election interference charges, his lawyer's argument was fairly simple. presidents can only be criminally prosecuted if -- again, if -- they have already been tried and convicted by the senate. of course that didn't happen, which they say is why this whole episode should end in his favor. just one of several arguments made in an effort to convince the court to side with this notion that presidential immunity applies here. >> we are supposed to conduct a balancing test where they balance the need for the asserted immunity versus other public interests. >> and those interesting public

views and the people involved include preventing political prosecution of all presidents moving forward. this is the idea, if you go forward with this, your opening pandora's box, and they are saying what should happen here is we should maintain over 200 years of legal tradition. >> we feel very confident that eventually, hopefully at this level, that eventually we win. a president has to have immunity. the other thing is i did nothing wrong. >> here's the tick tock. if they decide in his favor, jack smith, the special counsel, will almost certainly push to have the supreme court hear the case. if the former president loses, he could then seek to have the entire circuit court or the appeal. that would take a lot more time and even if that failed he would try to have it heard again by the justices. the chance of this wrapping up before the election, slim to none. >> trace: kevin corke live in

d.c. let's bring in washington times legal affairs reporter attorney alex. i'm not the first to say this, the appeals panel seemed a bit skeptical about the former president's immunity claim. what do you think? >> yeah, even the g.o.p. appointees seem skeptical. i don't think the arguments went well for president trump but i do think time is on his side, given the normal trajectory of these cases. it usually takes months for an opinion, even if they were to get this out within the next few weeks. i don't know if they would be able to fit on the docket this term. that means they take it up closer to the election next term, which means we could be here months from now talking about if he were to end, can he pardon himself or drop these charges. this question could go on the

back burner. stealing meaning, as kevin corke was ending his story with, this is probably not going to be in the courts before the election? their assessment? >> fair assessment and definitely there will not be -- i will venture to say there won't be a march trial as jack smith was hoping. >> trace: i want to move on because i'm fascinated by this. the fulton county d.a., fanny willis, going after the accusations that she had a personal relationship with a man she hired, the prosecutor, nathan wade. one is that he's not really a prosecutor, and others accusations that he met twice, alex, with the white house, two different times with the biden white house counsel. what do you make of all of this? >> this was a big legal filing in the georgia case. in terms of one of the allegations against the d.a. is that there is a violation and

abuse of law due to public monies. so she is allegedly paying the special prosecutor who she allegedly has an affair with, i think roughly a million dollars come into an account that he's using for trips they are going on together. that is problematic from a legal standpoint. i do think there is political problems here, a conflict of interest of a political nature suggesting that this special prosecutor she has appointed was billing for meetings he had in d.c. with the white house counsel. one of these meetings i think took place november 22nd, or november 18th of 2022. that was the same day that merrick garland had announced the appointment of jack smith. they seems to be some trouble here for the biden white house saying that there was no communication about these cases when, in fact, there was a meeting with president biden's lawyer. >> trace: i got very little time, i just want to get your take. you have house republicans holding impeachment hearings for alejandro mayorkas, the dhs secretary. any chance of that actually

happening, alex? >> i'm not sure. i think i agree with some legal scholars who have said that they don't know if the duties he's allegedly violated or incompetently handled reaches the level of impeachment, which is usually high crimes and misdemeanors, bribery, treason. politically i do think it bodes well for the g.o.p. the polling does not look good for president biden or mayorkas on immigration and border security. >> trace: it's not been forthright for his work on the border. great to see you, as always. thank you. we are finally learning more tonight about the health concerns of defense secretary lloyd austin and we are also told the white house is initiating a review of cabinet protocols in the wake of general austen's highly secretive hospitalization. matt finn is live with brand-new details on this. good evening. >> there was yet another major reveal and is very controversial incident. they confirmed that secretary austin was diagnosed

with prostate cancer and underwent a minimally invasive procedure. he started to experience severe pain on january 1st and was admitted to the icu where he was treated for a urinary tract infection and a backup of his small intestines. this announcement seems to differ from the initial explanation that secretary austin was off the job for an elective procedure. the white house says president biden was not even in the loop that secretary austin was battling cancer. >> he was not informed until this morning that the root cause of that hospitalization was prostate cancer. nobody at the white house knew secretary austin had prostate cancer until this morning. >> austin did not notify the chairman of the joint chiefs until one day after his procedures on generate first, and the white house was not aware of his absence until january 4th. a memo obtained by fox news

shows the white house is reviewing the protocols for cabinet members who need to delegate authority in the event of an absence. today the pentagon claimed the breach of transparency happened because secretary austin's chief of staff had the flu. >> the bottom line is we know we can do better, and we will do better. >> there are mounting calls for president biden to remove austin from his post, but so far the white house says austen's job is safe. >> trace: matt finn, thank you. let's bring a johns hopkins university physician and professor, fox news medical contributor to dr. marty makary. walter reed medical center released the following on the timeline. under semi 22nd, 2023, he was admitted to walter reed national military medical center and underwent a minimally invasive surgical procedure called a prostatectomy. maybe that's wrong. secretary austin was admitted to

walter reed, national military medical center, with convocations from the december 22 procedure on januar. the decision was made to transfer him to the icu for close monitoring. explain the complications and why he landed in the icu, dr dr. makary. >> first of all, the fact that he's in the icu may simply reflect that he is a vip, it might not actually represent the severity of the level of the intensity of the complication. we see that all the time. what we do know is that he had a fluid collection -- that is, fluid build up in his abdomen. it's unclear why, and we also know he had a urinary tract infection, a known complication after a minimally invasive removal, which is what he had done. it's often done with a robot. the prognosis is very good. these are very common procedures in the united states. i would say roughly 60% of prostate cancer in general, we choose not to operate on. we just watch it and follow it.

hopefully the prognosis here is good. >> trace: but the week-long stay in the hospital, you're not concerned about that at all? or is that also standard operating procedure? >> if the icu's day is truly because he needs intensive care, sure, there is an unknown. we don't know what the outcome would be. in general these are manageable complications. the vast majority of people get through it. surgeons are very good at managing these complications. and it should have no impact on the long-term outcome. about 90% of people survived long-term after this procedure for prostate cancer. if it's just a minor thing and he's in the icu because he's an important person, it is probably something he could leave the hospital from soon. >> trace: john kirby said this, and i will get your very quick response on the other side. watch. >> for situation like this to go as long as it did without the commander-in-chief knowing about it, or the national security

advisor knowing about it, or, frankly, other leaders at the department of defense, it's not the way this is supposed to happen. >> trace: medically, ethnically, did this need to be kept private? >> well, he was evidently on personal leave when this happened, whatever that means for someone who is secretary of defense. but he was under general anesthesia, and he was certainly on some sort of opioids, most likely, as part of that general anesthesia. so he's going to be loopy during the procedure. i think probably the doctor's and he had the expectation that this was going to be a 23-hour hospitalization. in and out quick, do it before the holidays, and it just ended up being more involved with this complication about a week and half later. >> trace: a lot of questions still need to be answered. dr. marty makary, great of you to come on. we appreciate it. ♪ ♪ first up into nights real news

♪ ♪ >> trace: more flight delays and cancellations today with dozens of boeing jets grounded in the wake of that blowout on board alaska airlines flight last friday. lauren green is a new york tracking the latest development. good evening. >> the nightmare continues for travelers as airlines discover loose hardware across their boeing 737 max nine aircraft, further delaying flights and grounding planes. 63 flights were canceled at the seattle-tacoma airport and at least another 60 at san francisco's airport. boeing held a company-wide safety meeting today after a door panel blew out on one of their 737 max 9 jets over the weekend. nearly 200 of the planes were grounded pending inspection, but the company stock is continuing to take a beating. "wall street journal" reports the ceo, david calhoun, says the company needs to acknowledge its

mistake during that meeting, adding airlines have been shaken by the incident, saying moments like this shake them to the bone just like it should be. they have confidence in all of us, they do and they will again. >> at this point i'm withholding judgment to wait to see what the ntsb ends up finding. >> something is clearly wrong here. you have one of the newest and most used jets in american aviation that has had multiple safety incidents just in the last three months, to say nothing about the fact that a few of them crashed early on, so this should concern a lot of us. >> tonight there are growing calls from both sides of the aisle for congress to hold hearings on boeing's quality of oversight. and questions still remain about why alaska lift that plane in service after it was pulled due to warning lights coming on several times. both alaska and united airlines say they they have found loose parts on some of their

boeing 737 max 9 jets. scary stuff, trace. >> trace: it is indeed. let's bring in aviation safety expert, retired army lieutenant colonel. great to have you on. why was that plane flying? three cabin pressure warning lights, one on december 7th and 1 on january 3rd, another on january 4th. the ntsb says they don't know if there is a correlation between this and the door panel being blown out. but why fly the plane in the first place? why not do some ground pressurization tests first? >> i would agree with that. the ntsb are not regulatory. they can make regul recommendat. the faa say you can fly or not fly. i believe they made their decision -- there's no sensors indicating pressurization but they did have lights, and looking at that indicates

there's a problem somewhere. my opinion, allowing them to go fly but not overseas, basically it was not, in my opinion, the right thing to do. what they're saying is there may be a problem. then it's better to be here than they are. why don't we just eliminate the problem in the first place? >> trace: i'm kind of baffled by the cockpit door scenario. it opened when the blowout happened, but nobody knew that the door was supposed to open. what do you think about that? >> just because there was a change of pressure -- every time it's pressurized and depressurized it goes through stress and structural changes. the fact that there was so much pressure differential when the plug blew out, it is logical that the door would open like that because of the sudden pressure change. >> trace: i want to play a pastor, her name is kelly barrett, and she was talking about knowing something was

wrong and not getting information. watch. >> we knew something was wrong. we didn't know what or how serious. we didn't know if it meant we were going to crash, we didn't have any information. so it was a really scary situation to be in. >> trace: do you find that unusual, keith, for the passengers not to be told exactly step-by-step what's going on? >> no, i don't. the fact that they were at 16,000 feet and close to the airport isn't a lot of time to do anything. the flight attendants are busy dealing with their job is, and the pilots themselves, it looks like they didn't even know what happened. they had to be informed of what happened. their job is to a v-8, navigate, and communicate. they going to be navigating, so they are busy doing that. they did an emergency descent to get down to 12,000 where there is oxygen and you can breathe. normally that is 300-500 feet

per minute. my guess is they were doing about 5,000 feet to 6,000 feet to get done quickly. once they sustained that, they did an emergency landing into the airport. so there is no time to inform anybody of what's going on. >> trace: i've got to go, but from what you've seen and heard, does it sound like a maintenance issue or a design flaw? 15 seconds. >> it is too early to tell. we should let the ntsb do the job. once they come up with a determination on what it is, they will give the correct recommendations. >> trace: great to have you on. thank you, sarah. >> thank you. >> trace: coming up, governor newsom wants a legislative fix to out-of-control retail crime in california targeting professional thieves. but he won't touch the law that many say is causing the problem in the first place. still ahead, a little rain, not a problem for these swans, and how some young adults are surprising their grandparents. today's best viral videos are

governor newsom allocated $267 million to, again, fight organized retail crime. the largest retail crime investment ever. and, as newsom said, "enough of these brazen smash and grabs," and yet the criminals kept smashing and grabbing at record levels. so newsom decided to bring in the california highway patrol to help. you know, the people who patrol the highways. which didn't even prevent a mob from using a vehicle to smash into a mexican-owned bakery in compton and proceed to destroy the place. as james gallagher noted, nothing will change without reforming proposition 47, the 2014 measure that decriminalized theft below $1,000. common sense thinks, when you allow criminals to commit crime, they have a tendency to take you up on it. let's bring in former los angeles county sheriff alex villanueva and former federal prosecutor nina ramani.

thank you both for coming on. why not just change the law and make theft and stealing a crime again? >> that is common sense, but what is sacramento known for? a lack of common sense. you look at prop 47, all the bad things it did, it was sustainable to a certain degree because prosecutors will were still prosecuting crimes. these new batch of prosecutors have thrown them out the window, so they are given a license to legalized theft in california. repeal prop 47, end of story. >> trace: i want to go back to the story that matt finn was talking about. an illegal immigrant from el salvador who has been arrested multiple times in boulder, colorado, for dwi and deported was arrested once again last month in colorado after allegedly killing a mother and her son in a car crash which people say involved alcohol. it is inexcusable and it is preventable, which is what is so baffling for the people involved. >> you're right, it is exhibit a

"san francisco beefed up its efforts this month to reverse the slide of police officers by lifting the starting pay for officers with zero experience to $112,000 plus a year. the highest rookie cops and big u.s. cities nearly double the level he new york city and more than what many u.s. secret service agents make." i mean, how in the world do you get more police? you can't even buy them off anymore. >> the sad thing is all the efforts of politicians dehumanize, discredit

father's years. >> trace: and its david foster and katharine mcphee. there's a lot of music in that family, so it's in the bloodstream, neama rahmani. >> l like father, like son, like mother like son. what a prodigy. he is even potty trained. i want to show that video to my kids and say you have to be like foster's kids. >> trace: john bonham's family is like, well matt he's good! >> i have a much lower level version of this. my younger son was really into the gym and climbing, and they said he was really good, he could maybe get on "american ninja warrior jr. "then suddenly lost interest. i thought, you had real talent! should had pushed him? and i thought, no, you have to have that enthusiasm from within. >> trace: lauren green who, by the way, is a concert pianist and has all the talent in the world. your thoughts? >> clearly this kid is the tiger woods of drumming.

he's incredible. but you have to nurture talent and be sure not to call an agent right now, because you don't want him to hate his gift and become a cash cow to the people who should be loving and protecting him. >> trace: matt finn? >> i agree with it, let the talent naturally develop. >> trace: we asked followers if they would have their kids pursue that talent, 43% said yes, and on instagram, 57% said yep, i sure would. sherry said, i would until he said he didn't want to. i would not force him to pursue something just make me happy. and conservative warrior said, if they truly had a passion and love doing it, i would encourage them but i wouldn't push them to do it. but as he ages, the decision to pursue it further becomes his. never force a child to live the dreams of the parent. i'm forcing all the way. thank you for watching america's late news, "fox news @ night." i'm trace gallagher in los angeles. we will see you back here.
