7:01 am
see any of their money. the walls quickly crashed down around ftx founder sam bankman-fried. dozens of federal. state and international authorities getting involved raising the question where were they before, all the regulators. bankman-fried telling bloomberg last august he had washington in his pocket. >> if i pulled out my phone and looked at my last ten text messages half of them will be people asking for -- politicians asking for contributions. i've got a few people on the ground in d.c. who are actually running the operation. >> bill: kelly o'grady picks it up today. a long time on this one as we unwind that string. good morning. >> good morning, bill. what a major fall from grace compared to that sound bite we just heard. he was on the cover of forbes magazine lauded as one of this
7:02 am
greatest innovateers and promote the brand. it wasn't always this way. i spoke to an m.i.t. classmate of his shared that the former billionaire honed in on philanthropy. he explained how easy it was to build his empire and the allure of crypto. >> you take $10 million and you sell and make a million and we were able to do that every weekday. >> where the crypto exchange got into trouble is the mishandling of customer funds coming to light following a back door $10 billion transfer to bolster his other company alameda research because some of those funds vanished completely. his testimony before the house, there were warning signs. >> we store collateral from our users not always done in the traditional financial system to back stop positions. >> critics are questioning why these warning signs were ignored and how some bankman-fried

positioned him at the heart of crypto regulation policy making. donations to the dems sparking curiosity. $27 million to the protect our future pac that donated to liberal candidates these terms and the max donation he made to representative jeffries, nancy pelosi's likely successor. he is in the bahamas and questioned by local authorities and could face extradition to the united states. but he is tweeting erratically and promising answers. he shared this just last night saying there was too much leverage, more than i realized. what can i try to do? raise lick i had tee, make customers whole and restart. average investors and celebrities who in some cases have lost everything. this will have lots of implications for the crypto space in general. >> bill: kelly o'grady with a report from l.a. back to her just about every day. don't know where it goes. here is what the "wall street journal" says today.
7:04 am
crypto politics with bankman-fried trying to protect your company from politics is no crime. he seemed to bet his success as much on regulatory and financial. that can be as risky as crypto , end quote. >> martha: essentially said in that interview he had a lot of good connections in washington so he wasn't too worried about the regulation. turns out, i think, that a lot of the people who probably banked on him in washington really didn't understand a whole lot about how crypto works. >> bill: i agree with that. >> martha: most of us don't. >> bill: if you are waiting on washington to get a solution this you'll wait a long time. the education curve for a lot of these lawmakers is steep. some have got it and some understand it but a lot are still in the dark about how it works. >> martha: seeing a different version what we saw with facebook, google and twitter, right? a lot of people on capitol hill didn't really understand the
7:05 am
influence or pull of it and were hands off when it came to regulation on all those groups. >> bill: we watched that live. >> martha: yes, we did. all right. where are the regulators during all this, right? while democrats with oversight were taking millions from this crypto con man as some are calling him. charles payne from fox business is going to join us. charles will explain it to us, right? charles will definitely explain it to us. stick around for that. >> america's comeback starts right now. in order to make america great and glorious again i am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. >> bill: it's official. former president trump at mar-a-lago last night launching his third run for the white house kicking off the start of what will be a very long 2024 campaign. griff jenkins live in palm beach, florida. down there today, griff, hello?
7:06 am
>> good morning. that's right. first out of the gate strategy for former president donald trump and there in mar-a-lago he made history laying out a national greatness agenda. he hit several topics including crime, the border, says he wants to be the first president to really solve education and he talked about overhauling the d.o.j. and f.b.i. now his tone was a little more subdued drawing some criticism from critics and former staffers as well. but he did not pull any punches when he talked about the current president joe biden. watch. >> we will abolish every biden covid mandate and rehire every patriot who was fired from our military with an apology and full back pay. they deserve an apology and they deserve full back pay and they will get it. >> a short and tears response from president biden tweeting
7:07 am
donald trump failed america. it was interesting inside, bill, who was there. of course, president was accompanied by first lady melania and sons eric and barron and jared kushner. you will remember he was a big part of the abraham accords that the president talked about last night. missing was ivanka trump. she said she will sit this one out. she loves her father but won't be a part of this next campaign. another person not there former vice president mike pence. he was on "fox & friends" earlier this morning. wouldn't say specifically that trump isn't electable but he says the country may be ready for something different. >> i just think -- i think i have a sense the american people want a new style of leadership that will reflect the way they deal with one another every day. >> something we're watching now is whether the president's announcement will have an impact
7:08 am
on that georgia senate runoff election in december 6th. that was something he did raise last night, bill. >> bill: griff jenkins in the sunshine. nice shot. >> let's bring in bill mcgurn. great to see you this morning. what are your thoughts after the big announcement last night and where do you think all this is going? >> well, we weren't surprised. he teed it up a week ago. the real question, i think, is not just donald trump, but what it means for the party. right now there is a big race in georgia with herschel walker. i think people would like to see if donald trump is committed to the party as much as he wants the party to be committed to him. he has a lot of support and very enthusiastic support, but i'm
7:09 am
not sure it's as broad as he thinks it is. remember that donald trump lost the popular vote in 2016 as well. so i think a lot of people, including some of his own supporters, are saying you know, he had two shots, we want someone else. last night's speech was, i think, very well done. he avoided the personal attacks and dwelt on an agenda. but he hasn't been doing that for two years. and i wonder how soon before we get back to, you know, calling ron desantis desank moneyous and saying glenn youngkin sounds chinese. i wonder which donald trump we are going to see. >> bill: bill, you write about this today, "wall street journal." here is your headline. donald trump pre-viewed the 2024
7:10 am
election. with regard to desantis here he is on victory night. that was november 8th. part of what he said in florida. >> we have rewritten the political map. while our country flounders due to failed leadership in washington, florida is on the right track. >> bill: big victory for him. in about 20 minutes, bill, he will be at the pine island bridge. there is an event. we don't know what he will say. the bridge was knocked out by hurricane ian. i think they had it reestablished within three weeks, which is remarkable itself. you can see what desantis's strategy is now. he will stay on the job and say this is what i'm doing and these are the results that i'm getting from it. >> absolutely. and he is not going to respond in kind to insults. he can't win that game. i think he is going to put his record out there and say i'm a winner, proven record, and let people make their own
7:11 am
distinctions and let other people get in a war with donald trump. he is not going to do it. i think he could win. there are some polls showing ron desantis ahead of trump in republican party in terms of picks for the president. it is so early. the big question is not just whether donald trump will win the nomination. the bigger question may be what does he do if he loses to someone like desantis? does he undermine it? does he work to make sure no one wins if he doesn't win? or does he loyally support the party and try to get whoever beats him in the white house? these are big questions. >> martha: that's a very big question and also the question of what happened in the mid-terms, bill, when republicans lost with young voters. they lost with women and they lost with independents. how do they fill those gaps and bring those voters back in?
7:12 am
can trump or desantis do that? >> yeah, it's a question. if i were ron desantis i would point to my improvement between 2018 when he first ran for governor, and just now. i mean, this was a landslide. he was improved with blacks, hispanics and asians. so i think it can be done. but those are the hard questions. you know, donald trump's candidates, he likes to say his record, i think, the 232 versus 24 or something. but in the key senate races, his nominees really did badly compared to other non-trump republicans in the same state. and he has to account for that. he can't just say everyone who won is because of me. if they lost it has nothing to do with me.
7:13 am
so i think there are hard questions about that. right now the test is herschel walker. will donald trump use his money and his influence to help herschel walker win? >> martha: thank you, great to see you. >> bill: thank you, bill. breaking news out of california here. whittier, california, 20 miles southeast of l.a. there is a report that 11 sheriff recruits are in critical condition on the morning run and hit by a car. we don't know much more than that. it is pretty much a headline right now to california. we'll get back there live as we see the camera in the sky there in california. all 11 apparently are said to be in critical condition. a big story happening right now. back to that in a moment. >> martha: new hope in the fight against fentanyl after researchers say they discovered a vaccine. is it a potential game changer? dr. siegel takes a closer look straight ahead.
7:14 am
major hospital system goes down after a massive cyberattack putting patients and staff at risk. why these facilities are so vulnerable and what the feds are doing to keep everyone safe. >> we were able to identify and defeat the threat, protecting both the network and the sick children who depend on it. our opponents in this space are relentless so we have to keep responding in kind. got a big l. it's your va home loan benefit. it lets you borrow up to a full 100% of your home's value. with home values near record highs, the newday 100 va loan can get you an average of $60,000. and you can lower your payments by $600 a month. pay down your high-rate credit card debt, personal loans, car loans. best of all, there are absolutely no upfront out-of-pocket costs with this loan. rest easy, knowing you'll have cash in the bank during these unpredictable times.

longer, more severe breach we're confirming now from common spirit hospital system. they were attacked back in october. hackers hijacked the system and demanded payment to let doctors and hospital administrators back in. common spirit runs 140 hospitals. over 1,000 cancer clinics. surgery hubs and stroke centers. that hack has had some very real consequences for patients. look at this. a 3-year-old was overdoses on pain medication in des moines after having his tonsils removed. his mother says he was given five times his prescribed dose and two times his body weight. doctors told her it happened because of that hack saying it shut down his records. jay was then readmitted to the hospital for urgent care. cybersecurity experts say the hack has left 20 million americans across 21 states now at risk of dangerous healthcare like jay received. but unfortunately it is nothing

new. take a listen. >> a baby that possibly died because of the inability to monitor the heart rate monitors in an icu for a nicu word. when we talk about cyber doesn't have a physical effect, it really does. >> they say we're working diligently to bring systems online and restore functionalities as safely as possible. christopher wray acknowledged the ransomeware threat is growing just yesterday. >> we're investigating over 100 different ransomeware variants. each one with scores of victims. >> martha, as you mentioned off the top yesterday oak bend medical center a separate hospital system in houston which operates three hospitals as well as emergency care facilities says they've been attacked with ransomware now and up to a million of their patients may have been impacted.
7:22 am
>> bill: a new book on the shelves and selling well, too, ahead of the holiday season. "faith still moves mountains." a collection of powerful true life stories and the power of faith written by our own harris faulkner. she is with us today to talk about it. good morning to you. i know what your faith means to you. you have shared that with us before. but when you are going through this book, what did you learn? what did you learn? >> harris: first of all, i learned the value of patience when we pray. almost every single story has a period of time where the person going through the trial or tribulation is on god's timing only. it is just a stark reminder of what we see as what prayer should generate. on my knees i need you right now. my mom used to chastise me as a little girl. she taught me how to pray.
7:23 am
don't treat god like santa claus. he won't come on a specific night and drop stuff through the shim chimney. it is the unanswered or quiet time that people call it and then the suddenly. the minute the lord leans into you, it feels like a suddenly no matter how long you've waited. and i interviewed a couple when danny met doug. she was a young woman, very young in her 20s and diagnosed with several diseases at one time. one of which meant she would never walk again. they put her in a nursing home at that age. it was the journey between the time of prayer in that nursing home. she never gave up. there are hospice cases around her and people were dying all the time. that's a lot to process when you are that age. she met the love of her life, a medical tech there. they years later married in a church and just fervent prayer,
7:24 am
just don't cease praying but there were certain things they would pray and it was about the thankfulness and patience of both of them and one day in church she got up and she walked. that is so biblical, right? it's like old school miracle. that story is contemporary and many of them in the book are because we're journalists. i believe the di vine assignment on my life is to be a witness and tell the testimonies of people, whatever they may be. some of the stories i've come across because i've covered them. the twister outbreak in lee county, alabama. we may have a video of that. there is a fox nation special that has some. there it is. things were just down to the foundation. it was 2019 . former president trump went to visit lee county, alabama after thchlt an 80-year-old woman survived. look at her there. she is wrapped up. there was a prayer closet that
7:25 am
was in her home and certain pieces of wood of that prayer closet were soaked but they with stood the twister outbreak. the whole time she prayed thank you, lord. i thank you for the life that i have had. i thank you for what i believe will be more of that life. if it is your will and then after the storm she prayed. what a lesson for all of us. start praying before the storm. >> martha: something you read about in the bible that happened centuries ago but miracles do happen today and it is extraordinary. thank you and congratulations on the book. >> bill: thank you for the copy. >> harris: of course. turn to the center. there is a glossy insert. these are original prayers and the inspiration from the bible. those verses are also on each page and this is how you start. say you need to reconnect with the lord. you have leaned out from prayer for the bit. start today to change the way you are living, to bring better
7:26 am
things into your life. there is one on worship. they each have a topic that i chose. they are short. >> martha: bring it to your family thanksgiving and read it to everyone. >> bill: i will need a few more copies. >> harris: tell everybody i say hi. thank you so much for doing this. >> bill: thank you. >> martha: great to see you. there are growing fears of escalation in vladimir putin's war after a missile strike hits poland. how should nato respond? the spigots are set to open at the order. a judge blocks a trump-era policy. how can the biden administration claim it is fixing or addressing this situation? >> we have removed or expelled more individuals from the united states than ever before.
7:29 am
>> bill: with the help of a tv station out of last angeles. a vehicle plowed into a group of law enforcement group. ten in the hospital. >> this happened at the star explorer academy southeast of los angeles about 20 miles. this car a gray s.u.v. honda slammed into a group of police recruits out for that morning run around 6:30 this morning. two critical. ten injured. these are men and women age 20 and abarf who are in training to join the l.a. sheriff's department or other police agencies. they are in week ten of a 22 week program. two hex are on the ground. one individual has been loaded into the yellow helicopter and going to three local hospitals. the gray s.u.v. honda hit a light pole.
7:30 am
the male driver is in custody. the cadets were wearing uniform shorts but green reflective tape around the waistband. the gray honda there. an individual being treated. also knocked over a light pole there. what we do not know is if the recruits were running on the street or sidewalk. if it was intentional. if the driver was impaired in some way. plenty of witnesses and we should find out later today the circumstances surrounding this incident. >> bill: it is early and don't mean to put you on the spot. do we know anything about the driver of that car? >> we do not, bill. an hour after this occurred so that information is yet to be obtained. >> bill: tell me a little bit about whittier, southeast of l.a.? >> it is just north of anaheim, southeast of los angeles. it is a pretty quiet residential
7:31 am
community, nixon library is nearby but this is where this academy was. there is a school now, the triage area. the green and yellow and red tarps. most have been taken away by ambulance and the helicopters there for the two that are critical. back to you when we get more. thank you. now to the border. agents getting ready for a surge of migrants yet again rushing to enter the country after a federal judge blocked the biden administration from using a tumble-era title 42 policy which was used to expel migrants back into mexico. texas governor greg abbott declaring the crisis an invasion giving himself additional power to halt the alarming flow of migrants. mike tobin in eagle pass, texas. what are the migrants saying about the court ruling?
7:32 am
have you been able to gather that reaction, mike? >> we have. for one thing the political shake-ups we've seen recently don't seem to concern them. the rejection of title 42 opens the gates further. they're undiscouraged and migrants keep coming. this morning we had a group of about 50 come across the border here in eagle pass, texas from cuba and nicaragua. the trend we've been seeing lately are virginia -- on the mexican side of the border. title 42 was rejected by the court. last month we saw a record number of crossings, 230,000. under title 42, 37% were processed for expulsion. now the message is reaching the migrants that nothing will stop them. >> they will give us good news and we'll be able to cross. they tell us that from the other side. we don't know. we're waiting.
7:33 am
>> yesterday about 250 people came across. just last night. the agents and police who work the board rear dealing with this flow of migrants day and night. rejection of title 42 takes away one more tool and discourages them even further. >> now that title 42 is going away we can expect the numbers to go up because now there is no mechanism to hold anybody accountable whatsoever. we're going to be releasing the vast majority of these people into the united states. >> as far as the forced resignation of cdp commissioner magnus cops down here and people who work the border aren't optimistic that things will get better. they believe the problem is all the way to the top. >> bill: mike tobin, thanks. >> let me be clear, this is not ukraine's fault. russia bears ultimate
7:34 am
responsibility as it continues its illegal war against ukraine. >> martha: nato's secretary general addressing the missile that hit polish territory yesterday pinning the blame directly on russia. two people were killed in the blast. only a few miles from the ukraine border where nato is now weighing whether to hold an emergency meeting. let's bring in retired lieutenant general keith kellogg. former national security advisor to vice president pence. general, good to have you with us as always. what is your take on all of this this morning? >> thanks for having me. look, whatever happens or whatever they are talking about is the direct result of egregious russian behavior firing 100 missiles into ukraine. it is all on them. it is a direct result of what has happened to the south in kherson where the russians abandoned kherson. an operational failure.
7:35 am
it opens the door for ukraine to continue to advance toward crimea if they want to do it the russians lost 50% of the territory they gained since the invasion. here is what they should do with nato. i believe that biden should pick up the call and call the secretary general and the representative of the united states of nato. under article four you sought to call together the north atlantic council meeting and talk about potential reaction to what the russians have done. the russian military is shattered right now. they are not a threat to nato. you need to put pressure on putin and how you put pressure on him by raising the political stakes on him. the generals will see that. the senior military guy knows his military is failing badly and know they're having real problems going back on the offense. put the political pressure on putin. if they don't keep up the pressure it is a huge mistake. allows putin to recover and
7:36 am
reconstitute his forces and use winter to his add re advantage. use the advantage they got and enough of this. put the pressure back on russia. >> martha: you are saying they should use this to as an opportunity to bring everyone together to put pressure on putin. would you put more sanctions in? would you go after the swift banking rules and put pressure on the european allies to do more? what would you use this as an opportunity to do, general? >> yeah, martha, that's a great comment you just made. i would say bring everybody together and say look, this is the time to advance pressure and where all the nato alliance needs to stand up and give them more equipment, more training, whatever all the support they need to give to keep the pressure on putin and know they won't back off on him. use this to their advantage. if they don't do that, it is a huge mistake because putin will see it as weakness.
7:37 am
one thing he responds to is strength. you have to apply strength to putin. >> what describe are you getting from the white house right now. it was very quick yesterday president biden said we don't think that this came from russia. it is unlikely it came from russia. do you think he will take advantage of this moment or they will back off and say let's say it was an accident and move on? >> i think the latter not the former. they'll say it was an accident. no harm, no foul. a huge mistake. use something like this as leverage. if using the track record of this administration, they don't want to antagonize the russians for whatever reason to a large degree and they shouldn't because the only thing putin understands was strength. they need to apply all the strength they can with all of nato. keep pushing the envelope as hard as they can. >> martha: general, thank you, always good to see you, sir. >> thanks, martha. >> bill: more to come on that. the biden white house thinks it might have inflation under control but americans still feeling a lot of pain.

exit. musk reportedly gave staff the choice to work long hours at high intensity or receive three months of severance pay. twitter employees have until 5:00 p.m. eastern tomorrow to make their decision. >> bill: watching that. white house and wall street celebrate a low inflation report homeowners have to heat their home. families spending 45% more on their home heating oil than a year ago. madison all worth of fox business has more on that now. good morning. >> good morning, bill. we're riding around with heating oil for less saying their customers are struggling to keep up with the higher costs. really every energy source is expected to cost more this winter season. home heating oil in particular seeing a huge jump up 68% year-over-year. two different stops this morning. the tank behind us did a fill up for $950. last year the it would have cost

the ftx crypto currency collapse is becoming a major financial scandal. the fallout is putting a bright spotlight on a lack of oversight by regulators in washington. more than a million customers may wind up losing billions of dollars invested on the ftx platform. who better to make sense of this than mr. charles payne. joining us host of making money on fox business. >> first of all i'm still digging entity. this thing -- the branches of this, cult, celebrity culture and silicon valley and wall street. someone had to give him the stamp of approval. when silicon valley elevated him a regular person will say one of the largest vc companies in the world did business with him. it's interesting. they raised money for him and
