tasha's new album. it is available every where now. >> if you have the breakfast club you're ready to perform in the morning. >> morning approved for sure. >> what a voice. you do it so easily. >> thank you. >> thank you for getting up. >> bill: good morning, everybody. trying to thread the needle on inflation. fed trying to pump the brakes. economy keeps chugging along. good morning on a special morning today from simi valley in california, i'm bill hemmer. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." as you can see we're live at the very iconic ronald reagan library and it's great to be here. >> you see the 707 behind us. that plane has seen the world and carried american policy for eight years at home and abroad.

660,000 miles, 26 countries, 46 states, just an iconic image in the library that we'll share with you in the coming two hours and let you know why we're here and what we're doing here. an annual event for us at fox. significant policy decisions to be made at home and abroad and we'll get into that. >> dana: we want to bring you breaking news. moments ago the highly anticipated november jobs report shows 263,000 jobs were added to the u.s. economy last month. that's hotter than expected. but it is still the slowest monthly increase in hiring since april of 2021. the unemployment rate stays steady at 3.7%. >> bill: the rapid fire rate hikes not having the desired cooling effect on the economy rattling investors on wall street. more on that in a moment. >> dana: to another economic story. the white house breathing a sigh of alert after the senate voted

to avert a rail strike. it would have crippled supply chains. the bill goes to the white house. i imagine that joe biden won't waste time signing this one. >> he will sign it today. we'll get to that in a minute. let's talk about the numbers that came out 30 minutes ago. 262,000 jobs beat expectations and it shows the federal reserve that what they're doing so far is not enough to slow down the economy the way they want. it also shows that those people have more money pushing inflation because they have more money to spend. we look at wages here. average hourly wages increased 5.1% year-over-year. cpi inflation at 7.7%. people are losing money basically because inflation far outpaces wages. on unemployment in an exclusive interview yesterday i talked with new york federal reserve president john williams before the numbers came out and he expected the unemployment rate to eventually rise. it didn't this time. listen to this.

>> do you think the unemployment rate will rise? where is the neutral rate >> i think it will rise from 3.7%. it is hard to predict how it will play out. i expect the unemployment rate will probably get to somewhere 4 1/2 to 5% by the end of next year or around that time. >> we're not seeing that and getting the rate hikes. in 30 minutes i'll talk with ma marti walshe and the rail strike. congress passed a bill so unions have to sign onto the tentative agreement. they get a 24% increase by 2024. 10% of that immediately but they didn't get the additional paid sick leave that caused the impasse. >> there is that what was negotiated was so much better than anything they ever had that -- they all signed onto it. only four unions out of the 13 or 14 that didn't agree. so the majority at the time that i presented it, they asked me to

do it, i presented it, they all signed on. >> the president defending that agreement. he will sign it in about an hour and 15 minutes. senior administration official says in the ceremony he will also talk about this jobs report. back to you guys. >> dana: edward lawrence, thank you so much. what does it all mean for the markets? we'll ask maria bartiromo coming up at the bottom of this hour. >> in the meantime four minutes past the hour here. there is a big moment at the white house last night. president biden facing backlash over a seafood state dinner. they had lobster and the fish and lobster groups in america calling out the white house saying they're hypocritical for serving maine lobster after failing to meet with them about extreme industry regulations. maine lawmakers feeling salty how the industry is being treated. susan collins tweeted delicious, sustainable maine lobster is an excellent choice for the main course of the president's

dinner. if maine lobster is good enough for the white house to serve it's good for every seafood retailer including whole foods to sell. they decided to stop selling maine lobster after a conservation group pulled its support for the industry. who would have thought, miss enter>> dana: . >> dana: i would call them a radical environmental group. democratic congressman from the area who won re-election said if the biden white house can prioritize purchasing 200 maine lobsters for a family dinner he should take the time to meet with the maine lobster men his administration is currently regulating out of business. it was a dinner for macron. they would never be shunned in france and make sure their people were taken care of. >> bill: trump gave this issue a lot of attention running for re-election. here is the dinner menu last

night. looks good. i think we would still be feeling it today, right? the cheese and cake and the medley of california wine served there. back to the issue of golden, he bucked his party on a lot of issues. build back better, inflation reduction act a lot to say about that. he just won re-election for a third term in upstate maine. he has a lot to say and on the right side of the issue for a lot of folks in that state. >> dana: watch here. >> what we found was that basic steps to determine identity weren't undertaken. turned out 57,000 loans were paid out in those first few weeks to individuals who on the do not pay list. i can't rule out that the fraud could be not only in the tens of billions but upwards of $100 billion. but it is too early for me to tell you how high that number is

going to go. >> bill: the d.o.j. inspector. six months ago confirmed the government's caved relief program was reiff with fraud. no small amount. they got a new report from the house today shedding light on how it happened and revealing how financial tech companies siphoned money left and right. bill mcgurn. a government doing out $5 trillion in pandemic aid and some stuff had to go sideways, bill. >> yeah. this is endemic with government money. as far as i understand the report, the basic problem was that they didn't verify who was applying. in other words, people got in there with a phony i.d. or an i.d. that wasn't eligible.

it's a mix. it's a recipe for this stuff. when you have a big pot of money and a rush to get it out the door, of course people are going to figure out ways to siphon off parts of it and get mine. this has always been. we had fraud in the continue continental army and union army and roman. try to find out what went wrong and claw it back. some of the financial companies hired to process it were clearly incapable of working at that volume. >> dana: in fact, let's show you a few of those here. firms believed to be tied to fraudulent loans. some of them they are not necessarily household names. blue acre, cross riverbank and a few other ones. they could be on the hook for

some of the money to get it back. american taxpayers were very generous in giving money and understood why we needed to do the aid during an incredible shutdown of the american economy but frustrating whether the money went to the wrong place or with schools wasn't spent at all. want to ask you about this. today is the last day of early voting for that very important georgia runoff and former president obama went down to georgia to campaign and here he is yesterday. watch here. >> the last time i was here -- since the last time i was here mr. walker has been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of georgia, like whether it's better to be a vampire for a werewolf. this is a debate apparently. he also claimed that he used to let me beat him at basketball.

but then he admitted that we never actually met. >> dana: they brought in their greatest asset, their biggest weapon in order to try to help raphael warnock win the re-election, bill. >> yeah. it signals two things that we know. one is this is a national election. what happens in georgia will determine what happens to a great extent in washington, d.c. and bringing president obama to georgia shows the democrats understand the importance and they are rolling out their biggest gun to help raphael warnock get reelected. >> bill: the polling suggests it will be tight. i don't know if it will be much of a surprise to a lot of people. tuesday night might be a long night and we'll find out what happens there. there are ramifications if the

democrats pick up one more senator when it comes to committee meetings and republicans are warning about that. nice to have you from the "wall street journal." >> take care. >> i want this guy to be scared. i don't want him to be confident. i want him to be sick of seeing my face and i'm not going nowhere until this guy is off the streets and the worst thing i want is another family to go through this. >> dana: the father of 21-year-old kaylee goncalves new details are emerging about the off campus house where the four were murdered. a sixth person was on the lease of that home. christina coleman is live in moscow, idaho with the latest. what do you have for the latest, christina? >> yes, in a new update from police they did confirm there was a sixth person on the lease but they do not believe that individual was at the house during the time of the attack.

during these updates that police put out, the night before, they are normally responding to media requests. some people were trying to figure out how many people had access to this house. again they are saying there was a sixth person on the lease but they do not believe that person was in the house at the time of this quadruple homicide. authorities elaborated on their efforts regarding forensic evidence stating the idaho state police crime lab scientists have providing testing analysis results to detectives. specific results won't be released to protect the integrity of the investigation. many students and residents tell me they're living in fear because police are still searching for the killer. >> every night if it gets dark here early and yeah, even like walking from my car back into my apartment i'm looking around. >> it is just rough. i pick up my wife and drop her

off every day now just because i don't know what's going on, you know what i mean? no idea if it's a serial killer or somebody who had a grudge or something. there is no leads or anything. >> a service will be held later today for 20-year-old xana kernodle to honor and celebrate her life and the lives of the three other students who were killed in the brutal attack on november 13th. dana was ethan's girlfriend. one of the other students killed in this incident. her sorority sisters describe her as the most devoted, spontaneous, adventurous at considerate sister. i spoke with students and faculty at the university and they're devastated by the tragic loss of these young students. >> i have been really devastated for this to happen to anyone is

just tragic because no one deserves this. it doesn't matter what scheme of life or -- i felt -- i've been feeling like their lives were cut short. >> police have put out some confusing statements regarding this investigation, but they maintain they still believe this is a targeted attack and say they're unclear if the house was targeted or if a specific resident was targeted inside. dana, back to you. >> dana: thank you. lawrence jones is there and we'll talk to him next hour as well. >> bill: 14 past the hour. president biden once called vladimir putin a dictator. now he is opening the door to negotiating about the war in ukraine. is that a good idea? michael allen is here in california. >> dana: the number on your screen is not an illusion. more 73,000 migrants evaded

capture at the border. how will republicans investigate this crisis? texas congressman dan crenshaw on that. >> bill: a new poll shows americans are losing trust if one of our most cherished institutions, the u.s. military. why is that happening now? we're back live at the reagan national defense forum in simi valley, california, right after this break. ♪ at newday usa we give veterans the va cash out loan with no upfront costs for an appraisal or termite inspection. no upfront costs at all. let us get your family security of cash in the bank. ♪ sam! hey little brother! make this december one to remember.

>> bill: 20 past. back here in california president biden saying he is willing to reach out to vladimir putin on ending the war in

ukraine under certain conditions. former assistant to the president michael allen will join us on those conditions whether or not talking to putin is a good idea. jacque heinrich has news from the white house on the north lawn. >> both leaders expressed willingness to have talk russian president vladimir putin. they are almost on the same page with that. not quite. only president biden laid out conditions. >> president biden: the fact of the matter is, i have no immediate plans to contact mr. putin. mr. putin choose my words very carefully -- i'm prepared to speak with mr. putin if, in fact, there is an interest in him deciding he is looking for a way to end the war. he hasn't done that yet. >> all right the russians are saying that is not an option. >> in fact, what did mr. biden say? he said talks are only possible

if putin leaves ukraine first. the special military operation continues. >> french president macron -- he called to avoid humiliating russia and saying again that putin must be given a way out from this historic and fundamental mistake and we must not humiliate russia so the day the fighting stops we can build an exit ramp. >> you said you expected to speak with vladimir putin again. when will you speak with him? >> in the coming days. i want to first have the state visit and have discussions with president biden and our teams together. >> zelensky has not weighed in on the macron, putin meeting.

russia will often use a pause in fighting to reposition his troops. >> bill: jacque heinrich at the white house. >> dana: let's bring in michael allen. former assistant to the president. these are ukraine's gains over russia in the past few months. and i'm wondering from your expertise is that one of the reasons that president biden felt like he could say that yesterday? >> yes, but i think negotiations and talks will play a role in ending this war but it is too soon. putin does not feel beaten. he is sending cruise missiles and knocking out critical infrastructure inside of ukraine. if there were some sort of cease-fire now it would be a time for putin to rearm and reconstitute. so there will come a day when the allies put pressure on the ukrainians for what is your exit strategy but not now when they're taking territory back. >> bill: just last week nato has

ukraine's back. the last thing that vladimir putin wants to hear, which would suggest this is going to be a long war. >> it will be a long war. i think the ukrainians want to make significant gains in the south. that's the future vitality of their economy. they need access to the black sea and need to be able to export their grain and other food stuffs. so there is some long period ahead of us in 2023 where i think the ukrainians need to make significant process for them to feel like they've won the war. >> dana: what do you think about macron's involvement. >> a little freelancing all the time. trying to insinuate himself into the situation. two weeks ago he was suggesting that the chinese broker talks between the russians. i just don't think it's reiff yet for negotiations. i guess it's okay to keep talking but let's not try to force the ukrainians into pre-mature peace talks. >> bill: a big topic at the reagan forum. also the reagan survey is out

released 36 hours ago. one issue that they're finding that is getting a lot of attention is how political the military has become. they asked the question do you have a decreased confidence in military due to politization and 34% said a great deal. how do you interpret that? >> i'm worried about it. we're behind in our recruiting levels. there is a crisis in confidence in many institutions in the united states. and our military shouldn't be used as a place for social experiments. its job is to fight and win wars. to deter enemies from attacking the united states and compromising our interests. so they need to stay on task, on topic, and not spend too much time on these types of other societal issues. >> bill: where do you think they've gone that they shouldn't? >> we can only do so much education on issues outside the basics of what soldiers ought to

be learning every day. they have enough to learn in terms of strategy, tactics, trainings and the rest. it is not a place for social experimentation. that can be done elsewhere. in the military it has to fight and win wars and we ought to quit meddling with their mission. >> dana: i'll moderate a panel on this tomorrow and we have a good group of people to learn from. one of the issues i thought was very interesting was even in terms of physical fitness. the inability for us to be able to recruit a lot of people because you can't pass a physical fitness requirements and we can't lower them anymore, either. >> that's right. fair to say we have a crisis. we have a geopolitical competition with china and russia. we have to maintain strong military so that we can deter these two actors and i think we're in a little bit of trouble and i hope we can explore that this weekend and figure it out. >> dana: it is not just for fighting but deterrents. >> that's why the american

people spend so much on it because that's what the american military is for. >> bill: look forward to the next two days with you. in a moment also in california heartbreak for a mother who lost her infant son to rsv. you've been watching this story now. she is speaking out to save other kids from a dangerous virus spreading across the country. she has a message for parents coming up and you'll want to hear it. new warning signs in the november jobs report. are high inflation and interest rates weighing down the economy? maria bartiromo is coming up in a moment. she is live back in new york as our coverage continues in california. in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

>> bill: even at 6:30 in the morning it's nice. a beautiful 707 ronald reagan toured the world while shaping the world. we're here at the reagan forum for the next couple of days,

china, iran, russia, ukraine. the world is being shaped by those events sitting here today. it's dark outside and the fog is not lifting but we're optimistic. >> dana: always. >> bill: for a possible sun rise maybe. >> dana: it's sunny inside. >> bill: i like to think most of the time, nine out of ten. >> dana: i think so. >> bill: i agree. we'll get you updated where we came out to california and the importance of this reagan forum in a moment. meanwhile in california you have rsv cases soaring around the country. a mother who lost her infant son speaking out. it's overwhelming children's hospitals from coast to coast. big deal that grows by the day. >> good morning. this mother is heartbroken. so difficult to conduct this interview and took her so much strength to talk to us. she has to share help son's story so other families don't

have to go through the pain. the hospital in california was so crowded when they showed up they waited for six hours before the baby was tested. he died just days later. >> that's how serious people need to take this is that when we finally got to the emergency room and they called around to hospitals in southern california to find space for my son, there were so many hospitals that they called that just did not have the room. >> william was only a few weeks old when he became sick with this virus. first it was chest congestion and then a little cough. the couple took their baby to that crowded local hospital. once he tested positive for rsv william was airlifted to another hospital and intubated. he died just three days later. a warning from this mom that other parents need to listen to telling them this is a serious illness and families should take extra precautions this holiday season. >> i know it's tough to say no to your family especially around

the holidays. but for my family, there will never be a christmas and so for other families i really want them to have other christmases. there will be other christmases. keep your kids safe. >> just in the last month cases of rsv have exploded across the u.s. one bit of good news, bill, data from the cdc nation rally are dropping but pretty concerning levels. state by state we spoke to hospitals that remained overnight. runny nose, coughing, sneezing fever main warning signs. william didn't have a fever. it varies case to case. doctors say prepare for a triple dem i can with cases of rsv, flu and covid peaking in january. >> bill: really ironic when you think about the pandemic and how the youngest were immune to it essentially and now this as a follow on. thank you. very important story in new york. thanks for bringing it to us today.

>> dana: the november jobs report coming out moments ago. 263,000 jobs added. unemployment staying at 3.7%. the nation's employers keeping up hiring despite stubborn inflation and feds interest rate hikes. maria bartiromo joins us now. i wish you were here sitting with me. i always learn so much in commercial breaks. i'm take advantage of the time we have here. 263,000 jobs added sounds very good. are there warning signs about the economy? >> yes. good morning to you. let me just say the show has been fantastic this morning. i love where you are originating. congratulations. this report was a good report. you just said the numbers, 263,000 jobs created in the month of november. that was better than expected. but i would point out to two elements in this report that is worth watching and the most important. the first one is wages. dana, wages were up again. this is the issue that jay

powell, the chairman of the federal reserve keeps talking about. our wages are going up but still lagging what inflation is doing. so wages are off year-over-year 5.1%. as you know inflation is up 7.7%. even those people out there getting raises, promotions and feel that they are making more money because their wages are up, they are still ending up living paycheck to paycheck in some ways because what they are buying is costing more. inflation at 7.7%. wages at 5.1%. this is why the federal reserve has been raising interest rates and why the market today is freaking out. the dow and all the major indices in the stock market are selling off and yields going down. it is telling investors the federal reserve will raise rates. perhaps this higher than expected jobs report will have the fed rethink this idea that the pace is about to slow down.

wages one important issue. the other is the participation rate. we talk a lot about this rate. the fact that fewer and fewer people are participating in the jobs market. they are not looking for a job. they are not going on interviews. they are at home. the reason is because they are living off of their savings or all of the stimulus that is still coming at them. remember, a number of states are sending inflation checks out. there is more stimulus, more money chasing too few goods and that is going to continue to make inflation elevated. so good report, job creation strong in november. at some point most people expect a weakening and slowing economy to catch up with jobs. we won't see this kind of job creation every month. the wages and participation rate indicate a different story. those are the stories the fed is watching. >> dana: two things. i want to play for you call for number five. janet yellen, the treasury secretary on how she sees this

being fueled. >> when president biden was elected, he put policies in place that generated a very rapid recovery. it turned out the pandemic had very special impacts on the economy. remember, everybody stopped spending on services and starching splurging on goods and bottlenecks started developing. >> dana: when she makes that explanation there is no mention of the additional federal money that was passed by the biden administration that went into the system. >> that's right, dana. that's exactly spot on. i would say to you that if this administration is looking for the root cause of spiking inflation, the root cause is reckless spending and the spending began, of course, with that march 2021 package, the covid relief package 1.9 trillion signed into law by joe biden and the spending continued from there. what janet yellen just talked

about in terms of how consumers are spending their money is important. that played out in the november jobs report. where did we see the most jobs? leisure and hospitality? during the covid pandemic he were spending on money on things to stay home. streaming services, technology. once the pandemic ended people wanted to get out and they were locked down and started spending money on services, going on trips, on travel. that's why for the month of november you actually saw 88,000 jobs created in leisure and hospitality. you also had healthcare and education jobs up 82,000. where are the other jobs right now? manufacturing added 14,000 jobs and construction added 20,000 jobs. that was interesting to me. the fact that construction added 20,000 jobs. mortgage rates have skyrocketed and they're off their highest of the most recent time. but still housing has been

decimated because of higher rates but there was still jobs created in november. >> dana: there was. don't forget that home exercise equipment that everybody bought. that was another big one. thank you so much. >> that's right. >> dana: take care. >> bill: thank you, maria. buckle up, america. biggest match in decades for the u.s. tomorrow we take on the netherlands. knock-out round. you win and you advance. we're hoping christian will be back at 100%, nicknamed captain america suffered a pelvic injury in the win over iran. he says he won't miss it. we'll see. >> i'm feeling better for sure. in the days after the game it was a painful one but i'll work with the medical staff in all the days leading up and doing everything i can to make sure i'm ready for saturday. >> bill: so here we go. tomorrow the u.s. and holland go at it. coverage starts at 9:00 a.m. eastern time on fox.

big match an hour later. 10:00 in new york, 7:00 here in california. we need a strategy as to how we'll watch this game. >> dana: need me to give you a wake-up call in the morning? >> bill: the question is where do we watch it? >> dana: i don't think the bar is open that early. >> bill: can we find a bar? >> dana: we'll invite everybody. especially our wonderful crew. thank you for all you're doing. we want to talk about this as well. take a look. >> do you support the chinese people's right to protest? do you have any reaction to the factory workers that were beaten and detained for protesting covid lockdowns? >> dana: that was hillary vaughn trying to ask tim cook. he is under fire after the company limited a key iphone function used by chinese protestors. lawmakers voiced concerns to cook yesterday. was he receptive? we'll ask someone who met with

him. jim jordan. forces telling fox news there was an all-time record forgotaways last month. how the policy should and can change as the our program from simi valley rolls on. my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose neuriva plus.

unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger. what makes every stearns & foster® so incredibly comfortable? the attention to detail, that combines time honored craftsmanship, and luxurious materials. for a mattress that feels as good as it looks. during the black friday event, save up to $800 on select stearns & foster® adjustable mattress sets.

>> bill: we have stunning new numbers from the southern border. this is not good. some 73,000 gotaways. that means they were not apprehended and dissolved into america in one month. in november the highest number in a single month. want the talk about that

republican congressman dan crenshaw from texas. good to have you on. we could start at 73,000. the average at least 2400 illegals slipping past border patrol every single day. we sit here and ask why does it stop? i don't have a good answer, do you? >> well, we know how to stop it. that's the good news. i'll give you more bad news. the number you cited is because we know they got away. they know we couldn't catch them. there are plenty more we don't know about at all. it is infuriating. you have had 3 or 4 million people illegal encounters with border patrol since biden took office. unprecedented. the numbers are becoming too astounding for people the wrap their heads around. there are solutions. they're better incentives for cbp, better tools and technology. that's one thing. immigration laws. we have to close the asylum system loopholes. people are abusing them.

the state department needs to do its job and do a diplomatic job and make sure we can send people back to countries where these migrants are coming from. ice can have all the funding and all the planes that it needs but if the state department isn't making sure there is a place to land in that country, it won't work. it won't disincentivize people. we have solutions. >> bill: the mid-terms are behind us and you are starting to hear some democrats especially senators ask the administration to go ahead and take action on this. before i get to that question, here are the known gotaways by the year, okay? over the past three years in 2021 it was 390,000. how many stadiums does that fill? it's extraordinary. it almost doubled in 2022. in the last two months of this fiscal year, you are already at 137,000. the biden administration apparently is looking at some sort of border overhaul because title 42 could lapse.

do you believe there are members in the administration who want to take this seriously and do something about it? >> well look, we'll hold oversight hearings on this administration as soon as we take the majority and make them take it seriously. we're going to expose them for what they've lied about, for these numbers. we have never been able to do that in hearings in an effective way. democrats won't ask these questions. it is all about to change in january. i'm running for homeland security chairman running to solve the problems and go after the cartels and facilitate the fentanyl crisis, killing, murdering almost 80,000 americans a year. it is a poisoning problem that's happening. there are entire swaths of areas in northern mexico purely controlled by the cartels. mexico is at risk of becoming a failed narco state. this administration is doing nothing about it. we have to bring this all to light and have to understand they're at war with us, with our sovereignty, war with our people and it is something we have to deal with immediately.

we also one of the things i wanted to talk about today is dealing with the morale at the border. our border patrol agents. i introduced a bill that would help them on thachlt it would incentivize them through hardship pay. $6500 a year extra pay if they meet certain criteria. basically including being stationed at the southern border, having to deal with cartels and dealing with over 1,000 migrant crossings a day. they need help and working on a bill that would have retention bonuses. we need experienced border patrol at. they aren't being supported by this administration and it is infuriating. >> bill: a great point when you talk about morale. numbers are stunning. one more quickly. we talked about the gotaways that we mentioned. these are the ones that were actually had physical encounters. almost half a million in 2020. 1.7 million when joe biden took office in 2021. 2.3 million in 2022. dan crenshaw, thank you for your

time and we'll pick up the topic soon. it is not going away. here is dana. >> dana: a few details on the quadruple murder mystery in idaho. police trying to clear up confusion whether or not the killings were targeted. lawrence jones is live on the scene part of the special edition of "america's newsroom" live from the ronald reagan national defense forum. ♪ we all have a purpose in life - a “why.” maybe it's perfecting that special place that you want to keep in the family... ...or passing down the family business... ...or giving back to the places that inspire you. no matter your purpose, at pnc private bank, we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why?
