8:00 am
heather: it's been great. bill: you made it. heather: bye. jenna: fox news alert and manhunt for the new suspect of the truck attack in berlin this as christmas markets reopen for the very first time sin the rampage. hello, everybody, i'm jenna lee. jon: police are looking for a tanasian to ties with islamic extremists killing 12 people and injuring dozens more. this comes after isis claims responsibility for the attack. greg. greg: hey, john, there are actually signs that the christmas market behind us, the steam of all that carnage is going to be open up tomorrow. just push into that, you could
8:01 am
see the lights and activity, a lot of police, a lot of clean-up people active there. certainly very active. the search for the man responsible for all the carnage, german officials are saying they are seeking a tanasian man in early 20's. he came to german last year in the big wave of immigrants. he was turned down for asylum for officials and due to bureaucratics he remained in the country for months after. all that time he was on a danger watch list. he was considered a terror threat. contacts with chief isis here in germany and even arrested one time for forged documents this year, but again he went underground away from the police for the last few weeks, again, this is the incident that isis yesterday claimed responsibility for saying the man is a soldier of the so-called islamic state and again if this lead proves correct, the fact that he was a part of one million refugees who came into this country last
8:02 am
year, german chancellor angela merkel allowed to come in will not be good political news for her. there must be a change in the immigration policy. finally, it turns out that there could be a real hero in all of this strategy. there are reports coming out of an autopsy overnight that the polish driver of the truck which was hijacked by that terrorist could have put up a real fight. might have try today prevent all of the slaughter. he was stabbed when the truck was hijacked and then he fought with the attacker as they approached this christmas market and finally the attacker apparently shot him dead to allow him to commit this mass murder. incredible stuff, jon. the toll on the casualties against, one polish man dead, six germans, we still don't have the nationality of others, 14 in the hospital in serious condition. it is thought or feared that
8:03 am
there could be foreigners among those casualties, thank you. jon: the heroism of that truck driver story yet to be told it sounds like. greg, thank you. >> he picks really, really good people, he knows what he wants. they are very different and it's good. it's really good. i was in washington a few days ago, there's a spirit of reform, revival and revolt. pretty soon you're going to see a lot of moving trucks coming in and move out. you have to move about 4 to 5,000 people. i think it's a really well balanced cabinet. jenna: several key positions on press secretary. big area that we are going to be watching and speaking of that, major giuliani speaking about
8:04 am
those issues. >> the issue is there somebody number one that can be good manager of hospitals that exist because there are good va hospitals and is there someone that has the courage to fight a tough battle. you would think it would be easy to give a veteran a card and go to new york hospital or some other hospital, the union pressure against that is enormous. that's what stumped democrats from doing it. they put the union ahead of the veterans. jenna: senior political correspondent and charlie for the washington times. both of you had interesting notes on the remaining of the cabinet. heidi, you have a comparison to games of thrones and charlie, you're saying it's like the wild west so we can use either analogy, why don't you consider the rest of the cabinet, the filling of it the wild, wild west. >> i think the -- i actually i
8:05 am
think game of thrones is much better analogy probably. but there's a lot of drama going on. sort of a soap opera. but that's what people voted for. they voted for change the way things were going and that's what they are getting and with the picks that we have seen, this is a first big challenge for any president. do the people that got him here either through long-time loyal service back home or throughout the campaign, are they the right people to serve in the white house? >> often they are not and those are very difficult decisions for president to make specially because like trump who really values loyalty and so but it appears that he is making a lot of the tough decisions, he's picking people that we have not been seen, you know, on the campaign or around him and he's having to sort of stiff arm some people who have been around him for a long time and have been loyal to him throughout the campaign and so he's making a lot of those tough decisions. only time will tell whether they turn out to be the right decisions.
8:06 am
>> even those who don't watch the game of thrones might get an idea what you're trying to say, heidi. jenna: charlie says it might be the better description. what do you think of what's happening in that way? >> it's not your typical power struggle that you see with an incoming administration and in this case there's a deep philosophical divide underpinning it all when you kind of look at the polls that are behind the president elect with steve bannon on the one hand, spokesperson's job as kimberly who is here on this network versus reince priebus who is pushing for a more conventional candidate sean spicer. that's not an inconsequential battle because the person who stands up in the podium every day, it's the person who gives the message and as you know, these two gentlemen have very
8:07 am
different philosophies and agendas and i think that, you know, this goes a little bit deeper than just your typical power struggle in that sense and you've seen that play out in some of the other picks as well with mitt romney, banon who was encouraging trump not to quote, unquote settle for him and to look at other candidates. it is in a sense also a test of how this is going to play out once this administration comes in as well and whether you're going to see trump continue with this more nationalist, populist agenda and message or whether you're going to see the more traditional republican conservative guard kind of take over and push the agenda through. jenna: we spoke to kellyanne conway on the program and it's very clear that she's already looking ahead to 2018 and what the choices in the cabinet look at how the republican party is representing itself in washington. it's also an interesting topic we want to talk about. we want to do it in this w
8:08 am
senate majority leader. we will play this and get your reaction. >> honestly, i thought we wouldn't hold up u.s. senate and hold up short and i didn't think president trump had a chance of winning. i figured that was my last celebration at 8:30 at night. jenna: there's good honesty and there's honesty that you don't know whether that's helpful. >> i think that's great that he's being honest and that's a terrific thing. my goodness, he needs to stop talking about that. the fact that he didn't realize the trump movement and the fact that he also said in the interview that he was surprised that such a rich guy could relate to working voters the way that donald trump did. man, admitting that you didn't see any of that coming, he's a professional politician. he should have seen that stuff coming and mitch mcconnell has a lot to offer in the senate. senate is a strange place. donald trump needs a guy like mitch mcconnell there but he needs to stop talking about it
8:09 am
because it reveals how totally out of touch he and the rest of the republicans have been for a very long time in washington. jenna: let's bring the two topics together. there is a focus on 2018. you hear mitch mcconnell take on the election and criticism of donald trump of not being diverse enough with cabinet selection. first cabinet in 30 years that there's not a hispanic representative on the cabinet. as we talked in the program about how the gop represents himself, how it reaches out to other voters, i'm wondering about that tension in the cabinet selections and also looking forward to the senate and beyond as we look at future elections? well, this is the first time that you will not have a minority or woman in top four positions. while trump is putting some women like linda and elaine, they are not the highest profile cabinet positions and i do think
8:10 am
that going down the road, there will be critics who will say, look, it is not that you should be picking any one because of their gender or because of their race but there are a lot of very qualified women, very qualified minorities to serve in these positions and diversity of a spot in and of itself is a qualification. so i think he's going to want to try and think about having whatever remaining positions he has left to try and have that in mind but also as we go down the road some other positions with more minorities and women. jenna: a lot of positions to fill, charlie. at the same time there are political opponents that will criticize him as heidi was mapping out for some of the choices. how do you think that's weighing in on some of the final decisions as we get a complete picture of what the administration will look like?
8:11 am
>> heidi makes a good point. if the election has done it chattered the practice of using racial, racial politics to people's advantage and so i think that sort of the rules are a little bit different now and i think that donald trump has given himself a little bit more leeway in terms of all of that. jenna: we will see where it goes from here. we will look forward to have you both back. merry christmas, thank you so much. >> thanks, jenna. jon: major showdown is brewing over illegal immigration as the outgoing and incoming administrations are locked in of tug of war of thousands of illegals trying to gain asylum and sanctuary cities using taxpayer funds for using legal help. >> jon, trying to unwind the policies after two terms is a major policy but the urgent one
8:12 am
is at the border where right now agents are on pace to apprehend almost 600,000 illegal immigrants, highest in eight years led by the continued surge of central americans seeking asylum. in just one month, one month, agents arrested 7,000 children, 15,000 families, almost double last year. but instead of being deported immediately as in the past, president obama has deemed the central americans victims of trafficking and refugees entitled to stay pending a court date which most ignore. right now isis is spending $700 to fly them across the u.s. and border agents say they are overwhelmed. >> it's been a group and then five minutes later another group and half an hour later you will see another one. >> los angeles allocated 5 million taxpayer dollars to hire defense attorneys to fight any attempt to deport any illegal immigrants.
8:13 am
>> we are seeing that the good and law abiding citizens of los angeles are family members, friends, navy base, they belong here and we will fight for them. >> la said it will also shelter criminal aliens, sharp departure from federal policy which means cities cannot interfere with deportation efforts. those city stand to lose federal money if they don't cooperate. >> the president can cut off their money at noon on january 20th of 2017 if they do not change their sanctuary policies and hand over criminal illegal aliens in their custody to be deported. >> now both sanctuary like a magnet for illegal immigrants. 66,000 cubans and african and asias now in the pipeline seeking safe haven unless
8:14 am
8:16 am
8:17 am
in our fox news poll just over half have argued with friends and family about the election and we find 79% of republicans say they are very or somewhat optimistic about the future of their party. that is up 18 points from just before the election. let's bring in our favorite number cruncher karl rove, former senior adviser to president george w. bush and also a fox news contributor. how things have changed to the two parties? those numbers have fallen, karl. >> yeah, after the election the winner gets more enthusiastic and the losers, well, they don't. the republicans are more optimistic about the future of their party, democrats are less optimistic about the future of theirs, republicans are more enthusiastic and optimistic about the administration that's coming in and democrats are not. what's important to me is not simply the fact that we'd expect that to be the case but the
8:18 am
polarization of the electoral with democrats feeling significantly less optimistic about their party and the country than we have seen in previous elections when the losers have lost and republicans feeling more optimistic but not reaching reaching the heights that we had say in 2000 or 1980 or 1988. republicans are more enthusiastic and they should be. they got the leverage of power in washington. democrats are more pessimistic, they should be. they lost it all when they expected to win it all. jon: also interesting dynamic regarding thousand two camps feel about one another. among trump voters, they were asked if they respect clinton voters, 67% said, yes, and among clinton voters, do you respect trump voters, only 50% said, yes. what does that number mean to you?
8:19 am
>> that's a sign of the polarization. two-thirds of the trump voters have respect for somebody who voted to clinton. negative and i think attitude among democrats. not healthy for the country and certainly not healthy for the democrats. if the democratic party is going to get off the mat and get up in the game, it needs to stop being driven by anger and discouragement and repulsion, revulsion over republicans. it needs to start to articulate a vision for the future. we see this carried out. two-thirds -- three quarters of the people in the poll said they expected, they wanted the democrats and trump to work together in washington, 62% of republicans, 88% of democrats but the expectation that that's going to happen are low, only 50% believe that trump was going
8:20 am
to work with the democrats and only 47% believe that the democrats would work with trump. they want to see something done with trump and they want everybody to try to work together where they can but there's low expectations that that's actually going to come to pass. jon: so many articles written prior to election day about how the republican party would be essentially dead and buried after hillary clinton took office. >> yeah, we are seeing some of the same writing about the democratic party. it was overblown about the republicans than it is about the democrats. the democrats are the oldest political party in the world, they're going to find their sea legs eventually. the recent moves, reelection of failed leadership and nancy pelosi, the left wingers who are running for the chairmanship of dnc and most important the blame anybody but hillary clinton and the democratic campaign for why they lost, all of this longer than normal period for the democrats to get their sea legs
8:21 am

8:26 am
sonogram, amazing experience. jon: they named their little boy robert, jr., brought him home and continued the adoption paperwork. >> we were happy. jon: but the blue-eyed bundle displayed unnerving signs. >> he was about 2 days old and we thought he quit breathing, we didn't know what was happening, we took him to our family doctor and they checked him over and said, you know, he's fine, it was probably colic. jon: turns out it wasn't colic and he wasn't fine. >> he sent us to neurologist where they did a 20-minute egg and found out that he was seizing the entire 20 minutes. >> the day they waited for 16 years. the day the child became their own is the day they learned his diagnosis. >> he has interactable epilepsy which basically means uncontrolled.
8:27 am
he takes seven medications and has an implant. he till has seizures almost daily. he also has cerebral palsy, he has an amazing personality. jon i don't know to say that -- shannon and robert sacrificed. >> i was an electrician and i quit my job. she had the good health insurance and everything else. there really are no other options. we are taking financial hit but our only concern or biggest concern was our son and the epilepsies started getting worse and worse. the seizures -- >> 25 to 35 seizures away.
8:28 am
>> they sleep in shifts. jon: what's that? >> when he's sleeping we attach it to his toe and alarm will go off essentially letting us know he's having a seizure. jon: but it doesn't always work? >> no. jon: outskirts of houston where bobby his his own room. after move, shannon found a job in the oil business. >> after surrounding many layoffs, it finally happen and my entire department was let two. i'm the financial provider for my family, you know, and now -- jon: her income when she has it can bring its own problem. >> currently bubby gets ssi which enables him to get medicaid, well, it's all based on income, when i worked he would lose his medicaid twice a
8:29 am
year, because i got three paychecks in those months and if i worked any overtime, we would go over the income tblien -- guideline which let me tell you is a joke and he would lose. jon: he was penalized because you had a job. >> it's what's keeping our son but i hate to say this but we have been keeping him alive. we have all been responsible, hard-working people. we don't want handouts and we don't want anybody to give us anything but we are in a position where we have to do whatever we have to do for our son and we will, we will do what we have to do for our son. jon: so this is how you transport bubby, a stroller? >> a stroller. this is it right now. jon: why don't you give him a wheelchair? >> it keeps getting denied by
8:30 am
medicaid. they don't think he needs it or whatever. jon: how many miles on the van? >> 178,000. >> ac just went out so robert found part used online and spent two days under the van trying to -- watching youtube videos. >> it worked. it's working. >> we are half an hour from the hospital. we have to have a vehicle, you know. >> have to. jon: if he could speak to you, what do you think he would say? >> mac and cheese, please. i think food would be it. >> he's very motivated by food. >> everything is so basic, basic 6-month-old. that's about where he is right now. jon: that might be where he is for a very long time. the boy they chose to complete their family doesn't speak or stand or even sit without help.
8:31 am
[singing] jon: shannon and robert are madly in love with their son and devote themselves to try to meet their many needs. jon: i'm sure there are people who watch this and say, don't they feel cheated, they waited so long, they get this child. >> it's a blessing, it's a blessing from god. he's perfect. >> we have a good life. it's not all, you know, doom and gloom. it's not like that at all. >> we love him to death. he's our whole life. don't feel sorry for us because he enjoys life his own way. >> so excited. yay. >> we just love sharing in that.

8:35 am
jon: fox news alert, back to top story. hunt for the new suspect of the deadly christmas market attack with police in germany searching for a tanasian man. the suspect asylum documents reportedly were found inside the truck that slammed into the crowded market. there's also word the suspect was supposed to be deported from germany earlier this year. joining us now gregory, ceo of swan island systems, former navy commander and former senior adviser to congressman ed royce. thanks for bringing your expertise in happening now.
8:36 am
this becomes a needle in a hay stack hunt. how do you go about finding him? >> it's not an easy task, of obviously. the german police had a find -- finding documents pertain toing to deportations. it doesn't matter how many barriers or how many police are on the ground, you need to be able to know where the folks are. the german police are very good. they are very good and they have every resource. the issue the germans had to a large extent that as a result of the occupation after world war ii, the intelligence source to directly speak to the agencies which in many respects ties one hand behind their back of police trying to do their work and trying to stop terrorism. >> they've also opened their doors to a flood of immigrants
8:37 am
from syria and other places in the middle east and that's part of the problem? >> that's absolutely part of the problem. i mean, you cannot let a million plus people in your country and not know who they are. so right now the germans have been slaughtered with immigrants or asylum seekers from the middle east, areas that are known to house fundamentalist islamic terrorists. the bulk of the people would be just asylum seekers and refugees seeking shelter, seeking security and seeking food and water. regrettably when you have that massive people, over a million, you're going to get a percentage that want to do harm to the west and want to do harm to germany, harm to the united states this year over and over. unless you vet these people, unless they contain to a geographic area and not allowed to take leave whenever they
8:38 am
wish, you're going to have the problems happen again and again and it's going get them to an issue of immigration policy and, you know, i think this attack has left the german chancellor an splea -- angela merkel unhappy with her party. jon: used a number of aliases. >> he came across the border in 2015 from italy where he was for a couple of years. the thing is important here that he was well known that he was a radical islamist. his roommate had been arrested a month ago for material support of isis. one of the very closest
8:39 am
associates was arrested soon thereafter for knowingly supporting isis. arresting for recruiting and funding isis. now, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's probably a duck in this case. jon: we have just time for one more question, what's the lesson for those of us in the united states? >> well, i think the lesson, jon, is that our immigration policy needs to be considered and i think the new administration, president trump will hopefully be on that part, but also we need to be vigilant and keep your head when you're in public places like a christmas market and be aware of your surroundings. as i said before, you will not be able to stop an 18 wheeler in
8:40 am
a public place but be aware of surroundings and have a safe and happy christmas. jon: good thoughts for all of us. merry christmas to you, thank you. >> thanks, jon. jenna: if you're a parent and you feel like you've lost a few brain cells in the process a trailblazing study might just prove it. we will explain it next. per roll bounty is more absorbent, so the roll can last 50% longer than the leading ordinary brand.
8:41 am
8:43 am
jon: happening now elderly michigan man happy to be alive today. 82-year-old backing out of driveway when he landed upside down in a river just as a good samaritan was calling 911, a police officer happened to be nearby. he was able to break aa window even as the car was filling with ice and freezing water. >> the car slipped upsides down. exhaust looked like a pretzel sticking up. >> terrifying, terrifying specially in the temperatures knowing that you could go hyperthermia and die. >> he was actually beginning the stages of hierp -- hyperthermia. he wasn't exactly sure what happened. jon: driver was taken to the hospital and recovering.
8:44 am
jenna: wow, angel for sure. european researches scan the brain of women who never conceived and after, the results, pregnancy changes the women's brain leading to less gray matter. so less gray matter in their brain after they had a baby. however, that may not actually be as negative as it sounds. let's talk about this with dr. kimberly, ob-gyn. we know that you are both parents as well. you have personal experience to this. it's not as negative as it sounds. talk to us a little bit about that? >> no, not as negative as it sounds. it's actually a very positive thing. what the changes in the brain that they notice in the where an area of the brain that work on social cues and allowing us to
8:45 am
be able to be more empathetic or be able to put ourselves in someone else's shoes, mainly newborn infants. it helps new mothers be able to adapt to infant social cues and really be able to take excellent care that women want to be able to care of their baby. jenna: the change takes place not only immediately after you give birth but up to two years. why exactly does that happen? >> well, it apparently there's a -- as the brain -- as pregnancy has its effect on the brain, there's a change or what was called a pruning as information in areas develop to adapt for post pregnancy care of the patient or care of your newborn. in a sense it's a remodeling and that remodeling also occurs in adolescents and also so at the time of adoll exents --
8:46 am
adolescents and again when you have a baby. whether they reverse or not over time still remains to be seen. jenna: what would a woman experience if this is happening to her physically. how would this play out? >> it's hard to know if the woman notices anything. the experience of pregnancy and childbirth is completely life altering for a woman and she definitely feels the change in her -- in her intsh all of that she's concerned about is newborn infant and so she definitely notices that. it's important to note that in the study they did test woman's cognition, their memory and their thinking ability before and after pregnancy and there with respect any changes there. it's not that she's going to feel like she's as you said at
8:47 am
the beginning losing her mind or not as smart or can't remember anything anymore, even though the lack of sleep and just the act of taking care of a newborn can certainly make you feel that way. jenna: maybe i'm projecting a little bit. [laughter] >> they didn't notice any change on the dad. i'm curious how you look at that dr. gary as a father but also as a physician. >> yes, they did look at the men and there were no changes. i can tell you -- and they actually looked at the men with respect to the sleep deprivation, et cetera, and from a personal point of view, yes, i experienced taking care of my newborn children sleep deprivation, was actually sometimes happy to go to work. [laughter] >> but i guess in the long run or, you know, why are the
8:48 am
differences occurring, we don't know and does it have to do with the adaptation of how you care for the newborn and males have sort of a different role, you know, as far as developmentally over time and maybe that's why the female brain changes to better care for the newborn. jenna: very interesting and we appreciate that honesty, dr. gary. i think we can all understand, sometimes you just need to get out of the house, all of us do. >> yes. jenna: great to have you both. interesting study and we will wait for follow-up studies for a little bit more information and we would love to have you back. thank you. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. jon: we worked together six years and i haven't seen you lose a step. >> that's very kind and also completely untrue.
