>> we are following two big stories this morning. a twitter storm and the storm of migrants at the border. and elon musk is going to have a bombshell about the stories and hunter biden story ahead of the election. the border crisis, it's getting so mad, ladies and gentlemen, that more democrats are pressuring the biden

administration to fix it, democrats. with the end of title 42 fast approaching, the migrant surge is showing no signs of slowing down. mike tobin is in eagle pass, texas. >> you've got to right, david. the flow of migrants is uninterrupted. there is no control of the border and people on the other side of the border are calling the shots. yesterday afternoon a group of some 250 showed up here in eagle pass, texas. lately they've been from vence, cuba and nicaragua. they showed up and turned themselves over to border agents to be process. in texas, smugglers cloned a border protections truck in an attempt to pass unnoticed without being stopped. it didn't work. in kenny county, texas, deputies say a pregnant woman was drafted into driving the load vehicle that was smuggling some four guatemalans. and kinney county has high speed chases with smugglers, bringing people they know would be turned back when they got to the border. >> the cartels and the

smugglers and coyotes have no regard for human life. i just spoke to sheriff coe and sheriff martinez from the border sheriffs and they continue to see high speed chases and rollovers and deaths. they have no regard. >> now, u.s. border patrol says in the last week some 72 pounds of fentanyl were seized. some 6,000 fentanyl pills, 311 pounds of cocaine, seven sex offenders picked up coming across as well as one person with an open warrant for a murder charge. data shows in the month of november, some 73,000 got-aways crossed, that means people who crossed undetected now loose in the u.s. no record where they are and what they're doing. david: or what they were doing before they came into the united states. good to see you, mike. appreciate it. the bordering crossings in el paso, 270% from last year.

and that's not a misprint. t my next guest says the end the title 42, we tried to get secretary mayorkas to the show and he's welcome anytime. welcome. >> appreciate it. david: it sounds that way to me when you think it can't get worse, it's done. >> we're constantly chasing our tail and that's the problem with this administration, they didn't care about border security, and didn't think it hurt hem in the midterms. some democrats who are vulnerable, they're pushing back. david: so much of this is executive action. dhs is under the executive authority, the executive power. could the president, if there are enough democrats, be

persuaded to change that policy? frankly, i think that mayorkas is just following orders, don't you? >> he is. i know secretary mayorkas very well. in fact i supported his nomination for the secretary. i don't anymore, he needs to go. david: why do you think he made the pivot from somebody you respected to somebody you don't respect? >> it's funny because i was sitening a seat ready to go on fax news fox news when i heard he was stepping down and the administration convinced him to stay on because of the optics. president biden is pandering to his base and caring about his base to the polls. and even when you have democrats pushing back. there were certain democrats pushing back against him during the midterms and he system didn't do anything about it, but when you look at title 42, look at what he could do to actually control the border, he has complete authority and control. all he has to do is implement the policies, programs and operations necessary. he just won't do it.

david: there are some suggestions that the white house may be looking to adopt some of the policies the trump administration had to keep out, to close down the border, or not to close it down at least to provide some semblance of order there, do you think they'll follow through? >> depends what they think the numbers are going to be. they've set the new normal. the united states public they've now become accustomed to hearing 200,000 apprehensions even though that's astronomical over what's normal, but what he knows is that if they go even higher it's going to potentially hurt them. he's looking at the numbers. if he can keep them at 200,000, even though they're astronomically high, that's the new normal. if he has to make changes, he can do it. david: is it too late? there are so many hundreds of thousands of migrants not yus from all over latin america, but all over the world who think it's open season, they can get in no matter what. >> so, david, when i put on a uniform and i patrol the

border, my biggest concern is the got-aways. there's been over a million people since he's been in office, that have been able to evade apprehension. let's be clear, we don't know who they are, where they're from and their intentions in the united states. that's very dangerous. when you look at that alone, you would think he would try to get the problem under control and when you add on top of that, the drugs on the streets. talk to any police officer, there are more drugs on the streets than ever in the history of the united states and coincides with illegal immigration. david: it's so clear, the two are absolutely related and talk about the air marshals. being sent to el paso, mcallen, san diego, tucson, yuma, arizona. a simple obvious question. isn't the training to be an air marshal completely inconsistent from what you would be doing at the border? >> it is, it destabilizes a law

enforcement organization. the air marshals were brought about for a specific reason. now that criminals know there aren't as many air marshals in the air, it makes it easier for them to potentially cause harm to the united states, but, david, this is going to surprise you, it doesn't matter. you could line border patrol agents up, any law enforcement and hold hands across the border. if this administration continuings to release people and reward them for violating our laws, we need policies and procedures not more people. david: it's chaotic, and the mismanagement is extraordinary. aishah: great to see you in new york, by the way, new york can be dangerous, be careful. >> thank you, david. david: to the twitter storm. elon musk dropping details on the company's past actions what he calls suppression of the hunter biden laptop story before the 2020 election. and alex hoff is in d.c. with the latest.

>> musk revealed the company's internal communications sharing it with matt taibbi who turned it into a tweet thread last night. screen shots and extraordinary steps taken to remove the reporting on hunter biden's laptop marking it unsafe and utilizing a tool for extreme cases like child pornography and twitter disabled accounts temporarily that linked to the story. with executives seen here in this correspondence justifying their action saying the contents violated the company's hacked material policy there's debate internally whether that was appropriate or not and tee eby wrote that requests for political parties to delete tweets became routine. one in october of 2020, handling requests from the biden team. tee eby suggested that democrats proved more powerful in their requests due to the leanings of twitter staff. elon musk added yesterday that round two of the twitter files will be released today, that's

going to be done through a question and answer. here is former u.s. attorney guy lewis. >> we're going to see over the next few days and probably next few weeks a series of explosions, bombs, where he's putting out these tweets, indicating that what the prior management did was just absolutely, almost too hard to believe. >> lewis says there may not have been anything illegal about twitter's brand of censorship, but did take issue suppressing reporting that contained potential criminal activity and that ceo jack dorsey knew little of what the censorship taking place. david: that's fascinating in itself. alex, thank you very much. some democrats aren't too happy with president biden's push to restructure the primary schedule. approving his plan to move south carolina ahead of the

traditional states of iowa and new hampshire, and that's not all. usa today, white house correspondent frances ka chambers joins us with more. this has ticked off some voters in new hampshire and the midwest. why did they do it? >> so, new hampshire, to your point, is vowing to fight this. i just spoke to new hampshire senator jeanne shaheen who repeatedly stressed that new hampshire has a law and that that law says that they have to be the first primary contest. now, president biden, he did not win iowa in the primary, he did not win new hampshire in the primary, he won south carolina so his move to put south carolina at the front of the pack is reflective of how he himself won the democratic presidential primary process. david: that's very interesting. so the fact is that maybe he's setting himself up for a challenge, no, a democrat challenge and he's better set to do that in the south? >> so, all indications are that

president biden does plan to run again in 2024, and the members that i've been speaking to have said that they don't think that he would have weighed in so heavily if he wasn't planning again to run in 2024 and the reality at the end of the day is, he's the one on the ballot and he's the one they say is going to have to deal with this primary calendar and if this is the way he thinks is best to win the general election then ultimately they went with his view. david: now, you know, two years is a long time in politics, it's a long time in my life, but a long time, particularly in politics. anything could happen. if we have a recession in 2023, things may turn sour for the president again. right now, i mean, he's riding on a wave. that we didn't have the red wave that we thought we would see. he seems to have solved the rail strike, we just had the one recalcitrant union member saying there's no way they're going to strike. so he's got these in his favor and that could turn south, if it does, could we see a

challenge from the democrat in the primaries? >> well, i think it could happen in the next two years and anything could happen in the next two months. president biden hasn't actually announced his reelection bid yet and for what it's worth the democratic national committee, the full body also still has to approve his primary calendar plan. this was a panel of the dnc. is the full body likely to reject what the president wants and the panel approved? likely not. even in the next few months, things could change. and realistically if the president didn't want to go to iowa and didn't want to go to new hampshire and spend more time in a state like michigan which he also moved up and would need realistically need to win the general election, he was already in michigan this week and doing those sorts of things so he really just moved to make official what he had already been doing. david: they're giving me wraps, got to be quick. lame duck congress, only have a

few weeks, is there anything passing? >> they have to pass to avoid a government shutdown. david: that's the key thing. francesca, thank you for coming in. >> thank you. david: to the world cup, team usa is facing off against the netherlands in the round of 16 as it's called. afollowing it from doha, not such great news, alex? >> hi, david. that's right. this is the first match of the knockout. it's do or die at this moment. there's a lot of americans here as well as u.s. service members here watching for the match watching for a comeback. and all the latest after the break. helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. ray's a1c is down with rybelsus®. i'm down with rybelsus®. my a1c is down with rybelsus®. in a clinical study, once-daily rybelsus® significantly lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill. in the same study, people taking rybelsus®

lost more weight. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. need to get your a1c down? you may pay as little as $10 per prescription. >> things are heating up at the world cup. the men from team usa are squaring off right now with the netherlands in the round of 16. the first half not so good. how are we doing in the second

half? alex hogan is following it all live from doha, qatar. alex. >> hi, david, it's not the start that the u.s. had opened for. the netherlands is currently up 2-0 in this high stakes game four match. this is the knockout route and this is the youngest u.s. team to ever make it this far in the world cup. so there's a lot of young talent, but a lot of organization when it comes to the mindset of preparing for these games. the coach says that they actually started studying the netherlands 11 months ago, just in case the team were to get matched up with them. many of these athletes say that they play overseas, something that's helped them tremendously in the previous matches we've seen so far in qatar. we have 30 minutes left in the match and we'll see if the u.s. men can bring some of that preparation into this performance. they went in ahead 10 minutes scoring and another one just

before halftime. and i talked with americans in doha how they think this is going to play out. >> it's going to be a tough game. you know, i think we're definitely the underdogs for sure. >> i think a lot of people are underestimating us. >> they've played well. we've proven that, you know, we're a part of the soccer world. >> i think we've shot. i think we have a shot. i think we have been playing much better game by game. >> u.s. soccer player christian pulisic was on the field after last night getting a medical clearance to play. there was some doubt whether he would make it after severe pelvic bruising in game three. a lot of the u.s. players highlighting just how important this match is in their soccer career and it's also a major match back home watched by millions of people across the u.s. viewership is actually up 10% compared to the last time the men's team made it all the way to the world cup. now, even though the u.s. is

down 2-0, there is still hope because the last time that the u.s. men's team managed to make a comeback when they were down 2-0 was against the netherlands. i think that's what a lot of americans here, david, are clinging onto in the final moments. david: all right. alex, root for us. appreciate it, good to see you. we're following the big volcanic eruption in hawaii, residents on alert as mauna loa's lava slowly inches closer to a highway there. fox's max gordon is on the island of hawaii with the latest. boy, what a back drop you have. >> incredible, rivers of molten lava flowing down mauna loa this morning. the good news is that the lava slowed somewhat since hitting flatter terrain. 150 feet or so per hour so half a football field's length per hour though at last update from officials it was less than

three miles away from the major east-west highway that connects hilo to kona. now, mauna loa began erupted sunday the first time since 1984. since then lava has been spewing from fissures in the volcano. scientists don't know how long it will last. vog or volcanic smog is a concern and they're looking at the levels. they're seeing the awe-inspiring glow of the lava. for the native hawaiian people, the eruption is deeply spiritual and people have come to mauna loa to meditate, pray and leave offerings. >> it's magnificence, it's the kind of awe that is overwhelming when you see the energy and, of course, we're

far away enough that we don't quite feel the heat, but you can imagine the heat that's coming out of the middle of the earth. >> now, there are initially concerns about folks stopping along the main highway and causing a traffic hazard to watch the lava. since then officials opened a lava viewing area and we're surrounded by folks taking pictures and taking in the awe-inspiring sight. david: it's a once in a lifetime view you've got there behind you. thank you for that, max. appreciate it. the big apple turning to crime fighting policies from the past to try and turn back the crime surge going on right now. we're going to be asking the n.y.p.d. commissioner who made them work in the past the last time and ask whether they can work again now. ray kelly is next. and from the big apple to the big apple heist in california. did you see this? brazen thieves ripping ipads and iphones right off of their displays in a store as customers look on in shock.

>> new york city mayor adams, mayor eric adams is facing blowback for his plan to relocate homeless to shelters and put more police on streets and subways, this is on top of the criticism from bringing back broken windows proactive policing policies that stamped out the crime surge a few decades ago. my next guest has seen the effectiveness of the policies because he was there, oversaw them and played a big part in turning new york around. the question is whether we can do it again. former n.y.p.d. commissioner and guardian group ceo ray kelly.

commissioner, great to see you. so it's not rocket science. it really isn't. if you stop crimes before they happen, it's much better for the city than if you wait for them to happen, right? >> you're absolutely right, david. as you said, it worked in the past. you have to pay attention to the little things before they grow into big things. and unfortunately, that's not what is being done in new york city now. but i am hopeful that the mayor's latest initiative on bringing people who are obviously in great need of psychological help into custody, to help them so they can get the proper training, this is something that really hasn't been done before so he deserves credit for doing this. david: i agree, he does. it's an extraordinary problem because the quality of life in new york with violently mentally ill people living on the streets. using the streets, first of all, there is the sanitary

conditions because they use the streets as bathrooms and it's a horrible situation, but to see them attack people, i think of some incidents, there was a woman michelle go, pushed onto a subway track and culled by a subway not long ago and allison russo, an ny fire department medic, she was killed. there's michelle, pushed to her death. and there's allison russo, stabbed to death by another deranged individual. so, this is really tough things, but the interesting thing about what the mayor does, already he's being attacked by various liberal groups saying he's going too far. so, does he have the backbone to stand up against them? >> well, this is going to be litigated no question about it. new yorkers are the mo most litigious environment in the world. it's significant for the quality of life. on the streets of manhattan and

subway, you see an awful lot of people who are in need. now, the police are going to be involved in this more than any other agency because the other agencies will want the security of the police. so, it's important that they get very, very specific instructions as to what they can do and what they can't do. don't forget, these people have not committed any crime. and to know that specific criteria, how much force can be used, when do you stop using force? and in the post george floyd world, cops are scrutinized so much and they're going to want to know exactly what they can do. david: you know, in the time when you were commissioner and mayor giuliani ras running the ship he would send out social workers to the homeless in the late '80s, early '90s, and too many living on the street. it not humane to leave people in their own waste when you

could actually intervene and that's what giuliani did, sending cops and social workers out, we'll give you the alternatives you need. if you're on drugs, you want to get off of them. if you don't have shelter, need a job, we'll help you. but staying where you are is not an option. can't we do that? why can't we do that? it was successful and it could be again, right? >> well, i think that's what the administration is talking about. they're taking social workers and linking them with police officers and having them in a crisis response teams, certainly in the subway. and this is a good thing. but make no mistake about it, the overarching problem is the lack of psychiatric bed space in the institutions, and that will not change anytime soon. david: yeah. >> the state has to get involved and it's a heavy lift because for decades they've been reducing the number of beds that are in psychological wards and hospitals.

david: commissioner, finally, short of violent crime, we have this horrible problem of stealing, of theft, particularly from stores that we're seeing an example of it out in california and it's happening all over the country where they lowered the penalties for shoplifting and lowered the penalties for the kind of thievery we're seeing in broad daylight, very brazen stuff. that has to be changed on a local level as well. you just can't allow people to get away with this? >> it's incredible, really, when you see it, as you said, how brazen they are. but this is really a problem for the district attorney because they're not charging people. police arrest somebody, and even, there's no process, that follows that. they just let them go. so, certainly here in new york city, we need to change that and one district attorney, alvin bragg, who is so responsible for sort of neglecting this area. it is horrendous, and the

police, of course, have to be involved, too. but ultimately, we need prosecution and that's not what's happening. >> we don't have much time for anything other than a one-word answer, but can new york turn around now as it did in the early '90s? >> yes, it can, but it's going to take some time and a lot of effort and you know, there's a lot of people, believe it or not, that are against it. against the things that were done in the '90s and early 2000's, that changed the city. so it going to be a tough row to hoe, but it can turn around definitely. david: commissioner ray kelly, thank you for the work you did. i was living here the time you turned it around and i'm always grateful for what you did. thanks for being here. appreciate it. >> thanks so much, david. david: to china where authorities are easing restrictions and some of the covid restrictions after police clashed with anti-lockdown protesters. we're going to be talking to a long time china protester coming next. (customer) hi? (burke) happy anniversary.

>> the white house is treading lightly this week as anti-lockdown protesters in china are calling for president xi jinping's removal. some lawmakers calling on president biden to make a stronger statement of support for the protesters. hong kong politician, nathan law is in self-imposed exile in london after a pro democracy movement. nathan, thank you for being

here. what would you like to hear from the president of the united states about the protests? >> well, definitely, we need solidarity. the chinese party is so aggressive and bold to demolish the civil society and values that we treasured. we need definitely need global leaders to say enough is enough and we need to protect human rights everywhere, especially on chinese soil. david: what is happening to the protesters rounded up? we've seen a lot of cases of them rounded up and they seem to disappear. >> a lot of arrests have been made of protesters in mainland china because of the sophistication of surveillance and control and the ability for the government to track you down everywhere. a lot of protesters are arrested, some of them were missing. one of the first protesters who held a blank paper on the street inside, she disappeared and we have no idea where she's

been going and for now, we still don't know where she is. >> that's horrible. by the way you mentioned technology. apple, as i'm sure you know, has been highly criticized for restricting its air drop device or air drop app which allows protesters to communicate with each other better. they did that last month. we had our own hillary vaughan catch up with tim cook, who is the head of apple, and ask him questions about this. i want to play that and get your reaction, roll tape. >> mr. cook, 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? do you regret restricting air drop access that protesters used to evade surveillance from the chinese government?

do you think it's problematic to do business with the communist chinese party when they suppress human rights? >> you can probably tell, nathan, no answers. i mean, the guy was closed-mouthed. is tim cook enabling the chinese communist government to repress protests? >> to be honest, it is really disappointing to see these big corporations, they have to do business in mainland china and they make deals with the governments and they abolish the values that they claim they treasure, it's definitely the case when apple, they have to sell the iphones in mainland china, they make deals with them so they help them facilitate them in some of the actions that we can see for people's rights. for example, the banning of the air drop, limiting the ability to air drop and also, locally storing all the apple users

data in mainland china for the chinese government that definitely have access to all of these things that are definitely really worrying and we do hope that when you do business in mainland china, you should stand firm on some of the integrities and values that you have. david: nathan, finally, it has to be quick and they deserve more time, two heroic individuals. one is cardinal zen, roman catholic cardinal, he's 90 years old. he was arrested, he's been charged with, you know, trumped up charges and jimmy li, still in jail, due to go on trial, if it hasn't already begun. what is it that the chinese communist party is so afraid about? there's jimmy, he's 70-- actually december 8th is his birthday he turns 74. cardinal zen is 90 years old. they're afraid. this is the achilles heel of communist government, they're afraid of these old people who

have backbone. >> i know, both of them and they are the bravest and kindest persons i've ever met, but jamie, especially, we still don't know when they could get out of jail. he could probably jail if they want it. they're afraid of brave people who stand up for values and do not bend their knees to the evil regime in mainland china. david: it really is the achilles heel of communist government. and to georgia, where rafael warnock and hershel walker are making the final pitch to voters. aishah hasnie is here with it now. aishah: good morning to you, david, from a rainy atlanta georgia and here ahead of this runoff it's turning out to be looking like it's having to be a very, very tight race, just

like the general. no clear favorites in the most recent polling here, as both campaigns are desperately trying to get out the vote. so, senator warnock just wrapped up an event with the afl afl-cio, the union association as he holds a narrow four-point lead over walker in a recent aarp georgia survey. noticeably missing, david, from the campaign trail self-president biden. -- president biden. he was from 1200 miles away in boston on friday. the white house says the president's message resonates with voters no matter where he is. i asked the incoming president forbe for the georgia afl-cio if she wants to see president biden in the final days especially after he is the one to ask congress to force the labor agreement between rail unions and employers this week. watch what she said. >> i think that we've done a good job of the surrogates that

have been here in georgia, that we don't-- that's not necessary at this point. he's being very supportive up in d.c. and we're good. >> and 1200 miles away in boston. >> and 1200 miles away in boston, but the message has been sent and right now, the senator needs to be knocking on doors instead of waiting on presidents to come or having rallies with people that are already going to vote for him. >> yeah, so, walker also doesn't seem to be waiting on a president, former president trump will hold a telerally with him, but sources tell fox digital he will not be in the state in person, as both side understand the appearance might be politically risky. remember 200,000 voters split their tickets voting for governor brian kemp who as you know has clashed with the former president and opting not to vote for walker. more than a million georgians,

david, have already voted early and now it's all about turnout on tuesday, david. david: presidents don't have the pull they used to have. it's wild. ais aishah hasnie. aishah: interesting to watch what is happening. david: and soccer fans, netherlands scored again right after the usa scored their first of the game. the count is 3-1, leading with less than five minutes left in regular time. coming up right here, president biden is facing backlash after allowing chevron to resume oil production in venezuela. my next guest says stop drilling overseas with a dictator. start drilling right here. we've got what it takes. that's next.

>> republicans and many energy companies calling out president biden for looking to boost oil production outside the u.s.

with our emergency oil supply near a real record low here, the administration is giving chevron the green light to resume pumping oil in venezuela of all places, the price future group senior analyst phil flynn joins me now to discuss. i like the red shirt by the way in keeping with christmas with the green behind you. >> thank you. david: it's not just our strategic reserves in order to bring prices down. crude oil reserves were down, we were expecting a drop of two million barrels, it's actually down 12 1/2 million barrels and that's despite china slowing down. and we have concerns with the winter coming up and ability to heat our homes. >> you're right and the numbers we're seeing is disturbing. that's another sign that president biden is really losing his war on the fossil fuel industry. this reaching out to a dictator

in venezuela is a sign of panic because they realize that right now, you know, once we run out of oil in the strategic petroleum reserve, you know, inventories are going to plummet. prices are going to surge. this is a sign of desperation. you know, they're giving up american values about democracy to deal with this guy. and it's really a sad state of what's going on right now. david: it doesn't make sense. the venezuelan oil company used to produce 3 1/2 million a day and now it's 600,000. they don't have any oil to give us, they have to use it at home. >> it is and chevron is sending over their people into that country to try to triple their oil production while here at home we're restricting oil production on u.s. lands, where it's condon a lot cleaner and better. to make this kind of a move is really counterproductive and really doesn't help the u.s. situation. david: and by the way, perfect example is what's happening in the gulf.

mckenzie and company came out with a good report showing we could pump an extra two million barrels per day from the gulf of mexico and it's much cleaner. we do it, we pump it in a cleaner way and it burns cleaner, burns about, it has, sends off about half of the emissions that oil does from elsewhere in the world. >> it really is. when you import dirtier oil from venezuela, you don't encourage u.s. refiners to retool and get prepared to burn cleaner oil. and so, that's bad for the environment as well. you know, i would say president biden in his green energy agenda, you know, really has been terrible for the environment because what's gone on because of the war in ukraine, you know, because of embracing dictators, we're burning more coal, more dirty oil, you know, and if he got off the back of the u.s. and oil industry, we could reverse the damage that the biden green energy plans have done to the environment. david: there are miracles in the world. who knows? maybe that will be one of them.

>> are you looking for love? if so, you might want to rethink shelling out that pretty penny. a new wall street journal report says being a cheap date has suddenly become a major plus. i'm going to have to tell my wife about that later. but before i do, kelly o'grady joins me now in discuss, what

do you make of this? do you really think it's an attractive quality fob a cheap date? >> well, david, i think it can be, right? you've got the cost of meal at a restaurant up 17% now, you know, drinks away from home if you're going to get a christmas cocktail or something is up 12%. especially this time of year, you're thinking about your budget, you have to buy gifts, you know, you want to go out and celebrate and do something festive. so when you go on a date with someone you're not necessarily invested yet, if that person picks a place that, you know, maybe you're going to go for a walk in the park or something, it shows that they're cost conscious and that's incredibly attractive as we move into a time where everyone is worrying about their budget. david: it's a lifetime since i was dating. there was a time i wasn't making tv money, i was a free-lance, struggling free-lance writer and i was-- i put together, i obviously went out on dates, but i saved up for it. i would eat tuna fish for a week in order to save up enough

so that i could really take a woman out and treat her fine, but i just don't -- i was amaze today see that the average date night is $98. i mean, that's, to me, that's not a lot of money and even when i consider how poor i was at one point in my life. >> well, that's fair, right? but let's think of you're 22, 23 years old and decided to meet up with someone and doing it on the apps and you doesn't know that, you don't necessarily want to invest a ton of money and take them out to an expensive steak dinner, might be good to walk around and look at the holiday lights and talk to them instead of saying, i'm going to pour $300 into this. i was always a cheap date, never the person that ordered lobster on the menu so my husband got off easy. though probably wouldn't have fit into the white house dinner this week. david: yeah, where they ate, i think about 300 lobsters, they had flown in from maine.

but, fact is, you let him pay and that's the question now days, who pays, do you split, dutch treat? there's that whole question, too, right? >> that is interesting because i think you're seeing this social construct move over time. back when i was dating, yes, i always allowed my husband to offer to pay, but as we started dating more, and we're like, okay, this is a real thing, we did go back and forth, i would pay one time, he would pay the next time. i think what we're seeing now people are start to go see, okay, whoever picks the place, you know, sets the standard of how much we're going to spend on this date, so, you know, if i say, yeah, we're going out to a steak dinner, i'm not necessarily going to expect the person i've been on one or two dates to pay for the whole thing. i think you're starting to see that more. david: the question of this, the iphones and whether there will be virtual dates being hatched and god help us if we get to that. kelly, we've got to leave it at

that. have a wonderful weekend. aren't you glad you don't have to worry about the dating scene anymore, 30 years for me, so glad. >> me, too. david: thank you very much for being here and thank you all for watching. we really appreciate you tuning in. fox news live with griff jenkins and gillian turner and the news about what's happening in the world cup. late breaking developments coming up next. lot more? lowe's, actually. get our best deals of the holidays backed by the lowe's price promise. 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.
