>> just puts you in the spirit. thanks very much for joining us on this december 7th live from new york city. see you back here on the couch. >> i'll see you on "outnumbered" today. brian has the radio show coming up. >> and then you'll be on friday, too. >> you'll be on "the five" one day next week. >> bill: good morning, everybody. another major shake-up. twitter reeling from another one. elon musk firing a lawyer who went rogue. guess who that lawyer used to work for? long night last night. i'm bill hemmer. hello at home and my partner. >> dana: this is "america's newsroom" i'm dana perino. james baker worked as f.b.i. general counsel under james comey. a central figure in the russia investigation as well as twitter's decision maker to censor the hunter biden.

>> bill: he vetted the twitter files before released. the files musk is releasing to journalist. the "new york post" calling it an inside job. >> dana: jim jordan saying it confirms what we already know. >> this just shows big tech, big media, big government working together to keep information from we the people. that's the problem. what i'm committed to doing and members on the judiciary committee are committed to do is get into the f.b.i.'s role in all this. >> dana: hillary vaughn has more from capitol hill. good morning, hillary. >> good morning. as it turns out some of these twitter files were tainted by jim baker formerly with the f.b.i. secretly screening the documents beforehanding them over to reporters. elon musk tweeted in light of concerns about baker's possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue, he was exited from twitter today.

musk says he did ask for an explanation but his explanation was unconvincing. republicans are expecting an explanation from baker, too. they want him to come to capitol hill and testify. >> baker is one of the most high profile twitter employee we want to hear. before coming to the oversight committee in january or february as quick as we can get them, they need to look very hard to try to find evidence as to why they suppressed this story. >> the two reporters that musk was handing the twitter files to were shocked when they found out it was jim baker screening them. matt taibbi tweeting how he and bari weiss found out. over the weekend we dealt with obstacles barrie discovered the person in charge of releasing the files was jim. when she asked his last name it came back jim baker.

my job hits the floor, says weiss. how deep is the relationship between f.b.i. and big tech? >> you had collusion between the f.b.i. and social media and down playing the laptop as russian disinformation. people want to know how far did this go? that cooperation between the f.b.i. and social media. how deep was that? >> dana, with republicans with the majority in january in the house they now have the critical power of subpoena power they say they want to subpoena some of these documents and get them unredacted. >> dana: jacque heinrich at the capitol for us. >> bill: james freeman, assistant editor of the "wall street journal." okay. the waters are running deeper by the day, are they not? >> yeah. i think a lot of us probably thought this story about suppressing all the information

on biden family enrichment schemes was about 2020 and looking back. what a disgrace, how do we not repeat that? it was still happening last week at twitter even after elon musk bought it. it is shocking. some people are wondering how did he not fire this guy on day one? i think the fact that he was the deputy general counsel below the radar allowed baker to continue there. >> dana: andy mccarthy, our fox news contributor wrote this. headline, twitter files missed the real scandal. f.b.i. interference in the 2020 elect saying that reading between the lines of evidence you can find and organized effort by the bureau to put its thumb on the scale for joe biden's campaign and he walks through it. is that how you see it? >> i think that's the real reform that has to happen. this should be the focus of investigators on the hill. we can't have the f.b.i. -- two elections in a row where they have intervened in a very negative way.

one, promoting a hoax and then the second time suppressing real information. >> dana: even hillary clinton thinks the f.b.i. meddled in the election. >> it is not their job and poisonous in a democracy. a number of big questions are related to this. end of 2019 f.b.i. subpoenas the information about hunter biden's laptop. the next year they are going around warning about the possible foreign disinformation coming, maybe about hunter biden. what was the communication exactly between when jim baker gets to twitter in mid 2020 and when they started the blackout? started silencing the "new york post" and other people sharing the "new york post" reporting on hunter biden? what was the communication? what was his role. amazing he was still there until this week. >> bill: break it down simply did the u.s. government work with a public company to go

ahead and suppress information that influenced the outcome of an election? >> it's so fundamental. it is not just an affront to the first amendment it's the basic integrity of our elections to have the government telling media companies, coerceing and encouraging, whatever, what to public, what not to public. look, they weren't doing this because it was trivial. this could have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. maybe would have. certainly when you look at polls, it is important to people when they learn about it. you are talking about the underlying information is a flood of foreign money to the biden family as the emails show and bobulinski's testimony says. it is not just hunter. it is about the big guy, too, identified as joe biden. it is a massive story suppressed finally coming to light. >> bill: did the dnc know that it had people on the inside?

>> on the inside of twitter? >> bill: sure. >> it does say something about the culture of twitter pre-elon musk that they hired james baker in a senior role. this is the lawyer who presided of the collusion disgrace. the general counsel of the f.b.i. who should have said no, we're not going to pursue this garbage. we won't go to the fisa court. they misled the fisa court, a criminal conviction of an f.b.i. attorney resulting from that deception. at the very least baker was the lawyer in charge when that happened. how you then say oh, that's a wonderful resume. by the way he leaves the f.b.i. because he is accused of leaking stuff to the press and now you have a company saying that's such an impressive resume you have to come work for us. >> bill: did the dnc know they had people working on the inside of twitter and the f.b.i.? go ahead, dana.

>> dana: i feel like he covered it but i do wonder, i would like to hear from james baker. i worked with a lot of lawyers and sometimes they are overly cautious to try to protect people who work for the company. maybe they didn't deserve protecting. were there people within the emails that worked at twitter who like following orders from somebody else and now their information is out there and elon musk their emails should not have been included in the releases. so i don't know all that james baker was doing. i'm not defending him. i would like to hear from him. i don't know if we will. now he has been fired i assume he will now get a lawyer because he is going -- all of this is going to continue. >> bill: a good point. >> you would hope when they investigate this in the house he is one of the people we hear from on this. i would say i think it's harder to give him the benefit of the doubt about his -- we'll say his caution in 2020 is how he

presented it in terms of saying let's not end the blackout yet. but i think it's harder to give him the benefit of the doubt when it looks like as recently as last week he was still trying to prevent disclosures. now maybe they were personal things. >> dana: i would like to see some specifics what was he preventing. that we don't have. i would like to see that. that would make it easier to understand. >> bill: thank you, james. the waters run deep. james freeman, "wall street journal." this late from last night in atlanta. check it out. >> thank you from the bottom of my heart. it is my honor to utter the four most powerful words ever spoken in a democracy. the people have spoken. >> i got a chance to go into your homes and got a chance that you invested in herschel walker and i thank you. and i thank you so much. >> bill: that was herschel

walker last night, raphael warnock and this is your outcome in the georgia senate runoff. warnock did better last night than he did four weeks and a day ago winning by just shy of three points. back in the mid-term it was a lot closer, both under 50%. only.9 percentage points four weeks ago and herschel walker under performing what he did last night. quick check of balance of power in the u.s. senate. democrats up 1 to 51. republicans dropped back at 49. what does all this mean? it means kamala harris would not be required to break any tiebreaking votes in the senate and on some of this legislation that may be contested or perhaps a few democrats holding out, perhaps this gives them a slight edge on legislation that's right on the border of passage or not. that's your advantage for joe biden and the democrats as a result of georgia last night. from the white house from yesterday there was this. check it out.

>> why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> because there is a more thing going on. they'll invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise. >> dana: president biden down playing the border crisis. why the administration is so quick to dismiss with title 42 falling off right around the corner. >> bill: why is the white house still using tiktok? >> dana: idaho police defending the lack of arrest in a quadruple marts case that stunned the nation. >> this case is not going cold. we have tips coming in and investigators out every day interviewing people. we're still reviewing evidence. i said early on that no stone will go unturned. i mean that. at newday you can borrow up to 100% of your home's value to pay down high rate credit cards, personal loans, even car loans. veterans get more at newday.

>> bill: president biden was in arizona yesterday. did not stop at the border. why? well, apparently there were quote more important things going on, according to the white house, according to the president, in fact. turning a blind eye to the crisis as it gets even worse in the coming weeks. peter doocy asked the question yesterday live from the north lawn today. good to see you. >> there is only so much time in a day and on a trip and this president has his priorities. >> why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> president biden: because there is a more important thing going on. they'll invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise. >> kevin mccarthy responds millions of illegal crossing and hundreds of americans dying from fentanyl aren't important enough to biden to pay attention to the border crisis. republicans won't let him ignore his destructive policies any

longer. putting the economy atop the to do list over immigration makes them mainstream and while yesterday's focus was on a $40 billion investment in a micro chip plant to make the u.s. less reliant on chips from china and taiwan they're now daring elected officials to say the border is a bigger problem than the economy. >> top priority is investing in the american economy and american communities and he is focused on out competing china and bringing back american jobs from overseas. that's what you'll see today. so if anyone believes that the president shouldn't make that his top priority they should say that out loud. >> so far none of these elected people that they're challenging have come forward to say that they think the border is a bigger priority than the economy. so it does not appear that president biden is feeling any kind of outside pressure to go to the border, bill.

>> bill: clearly, right? peter, thank you, nice to see you on the north lawn. >> dana: let's bring in one lawmaker who represents the largest stretch of border territory, tony gonzalez from texas. a couple numbers here. the known gotaways. this is how many people we know that got away from border patrol was the highest single month of known getaways ever recorded, 73,000 just last month. that exceeds the total immigrant encounters in november -- on record for november. and so this crisis continues. your constituents are dealing with this. they are on the front lines of it. the president said there are higher priorities. not for you or your constituents. how did you take it yesterday? >> there is no doubt president biden has abandoned america when it comes to the border and i will give you 14 reasons why the border should be important. 14 border patrol agents have committed suicide this year. if that doesn't get your attention, i don't know what

does. look, i represent a district that is at the epicenter of this crisis. i don't have two years or ten years to kick this political football around. people in my district need help today and that's why later on today in about a half hour i will hold a bipartisan press conference where we'll talk about how we address these border patrol suicides in a bipartisan manner. the white house has given up on america but the house of representatives has not. and we need to lead in a bipartisan manner to come up with some solutions today, not ten years from now. >> bill: it is a really important point you make about the suicides. how about the fentanyl abuse around america? it is out of control. there is no end in sight. however, a moment ago we just had a clip that said in 28 days everything changes. how will it change with regard to the border and policy when republicans run the house? >> first off in two weeks everything changes. title 42 goes away and you are going to see this crisis get put

on steroids. it is going to be absolutely terrible right before the holidays. now when house republicans take over, you will see a lot more effort put on holding these people accountable. dhs secretary mayokas has to answer for why 14 agents have committed suicide in his organization. that shows that there is something wrong there. not to mention the fentanyl deaths. families' lives are being torn apart. border patrol agents are seeing horrific incidents. they are having to pull babies out of -- dead bodies out of the rivers and having to see all these terrible things that are occurring. i don't understand how you turn a blind eye to it. i look at it the house of representatives. starts with the power of the purse and oversight of the executive branch and we need to start using it. >> dana: white house press secretary always says when it comes to immigration that the republicans should forward an idea and they'll consider it. i believe that you have had ideas going forward but when the

republicans take over in january, will there be a more concerted effort that you can take to them and say this is what we can be for. join us on this. let's secure the border and do some of the important things we need to do for the american people? >> absolutely, dana. house republicans under kevin mccarthy's leadership for 18 months have worked on this commitment to america. part of that commitment to america is insuring that a nation is safe, which means securing the border. we've outlined a variety of different things that will certainly do that on day one. i'm looking at it is how do i help my constituents today? in a bipartisan manner we'll hold this press conference and i'm releasing the taps act, taking action to prevent suicide. this is something that shouldn't be partisan. the border should not be partisan. addressing suicides should not be partisan. at the end of the day the biden administration won't take my call, they won't take others. they need to be held responsible. the house has to deliver for the american public zblchlt thank you for your time and we'll

check out your press conference being held with your democratic colleague henry cuellar from the texas border region. >> dana: thanks for doing that. fox news learned progressive los angeles county d.a. gascon sent a directive to prosecutors asking them to avoid filing charges against suspects that could lead to deportation. why? william la jeunesse live in l.a. with more. >> sources say the new directive from gascon allows anyone under criminal investigation to contact the d.a.'s office before a case is filed and notify them that charges could have, quote, adverse immigration consequences. if alternatives exist, d.a.s are told to pursue those instead. it means this. when you are booked into jail your name is run against immigration database. most states a felony arrest or conviction can trigger deportation. in sanctuary states police and

prosecutors can't cooperate with immigration. this policy, however, goes further. it applies to serious crimes. domestic violence, assault, attempted murder that even under california law can mean deportation. gascon doesn't want that to happen. telling his deputies don't file charges. plead it down, dismiss or seek diversion without flagging immigration. all charging determinations shall be undertaken with the goal of avoiding or mitigating adverse immigration consequences. his office telling fox news digital quote, we've consulted with our staff, community stakeholders and immigration experts to craft a comprehensive immigration policy that protects vulnerable victims and prioritizes safety while attempting to avoid overly punitive consequences for the accused. we believe that we have achieved that result. deputies in his office say they have major problems with this

selective prosecution and they expect to be inundated with requests from immigration lawyers, the end result being discrimination with u.s. citizens facing more serious charges than those here illegally because they are illegal. here is a statement from the deputy d.a.s. that is saying we're going to give better deals to someone because of their immigration status? bottom line is, dane, the d.a.s have filed a dozen lawsuits against their boss and survived two recalls. we have a new mayor, new sheriff. we'll see if anything changes. >> dana: spinning wheels there in california. this is just another one. >> bill: fascinating stuff. decades of high inflation taking a toll and consumers and also taking the wind out of the economy. why many experts fear we're heading for a recession. charles payne will address it later today. a philadelphia gas station owner hires private security after his business was hit by robbers time after time. why he says the city is failing

its own citizens. >> philadelphia is off the chain. got to fight fire with fire sometimes. the lack of political action. when we the people elected him in office we wanted a prosecutor not somebody who was going to be kumbaya.

searching for the killer. alexis mcadams is in idaho with more. what did he tell you? >> bill, yeah, in that sit-down interview how emotional he was. this case is so personal for him. he has a family in town and he wants people to be safe and wants them to get the killer behind bars and needs the public's help doing it. the police chief and several other investigators will be back at the home in idaho where the murders were committed. a horrific crime scene. going back in again will be a lot. it isn't to collect evidence but to get some of the belongings that kids have left behind and want to give them to the victims' families. the police chief saying he is doing everything he can to find the killer. >> how personal is this case for you? >> i'm a dad with daughters and it's tough. you know, we're human.

we don't go to these and just turn it off. it affects us, but we have a job to do and we are going to continue to do that job and continue to push forward and we are bringing the resources that we bring and we owe it to the families and we owe it to the victims to make sure that everything we do comes to a conclusion for them. >> so it's been nearly a month since kaylee goncalves and the other three were murdered in that off-campus rental home in idaho near the university. now investigators are focused on finishing the timeline on the night of the murders looking at an almost five hour game between the time the girls were spotsed at a party and when they got home. it is pretty much across the street. what were they doing in the several hours there is the question? investigators are urging anyone who saw them or knows where they were heading or how they got there to come forward to police say they're looking for anything

abnormal to help add context. we know state police have interviewed dozens of people and are still talking with students, neighbors, locals, even tracking down kids who left for break and are now doing remote learning in other states. so the chief tells me, bill, that before they cross someone off the list they want people to know it takes hours and hours of interviews and work and they could be brought in again. >> just because someone has been cleared right now does that mean they might be reinterviewed? >> many, many hours have gone into that and several investigators and the team have all looked at the information that comes in and they've verified that those people can be cleared. so what i want to assure them is we're doing everything we can and we're taking our time to do it right. >> the investigators are back at the home later this morning. >> bill: moscow, idaho. tough stuff. >> dana: let's bring former f.b.i. assistant director chris

swecker. this is the floor by floor of the home. we know the two that were on the first floor survived. they were not attacked. in fact they were asleep during the whole thing apparently. on floor two you have zayn yeah and ethan. floor three was kaylee and maddie. when you hear about the gap in the timeline does it raise any alarm bells for you? >> it needs to be filled in. but i don't know how significant it really is at this point. hard to believe with as many interviews as they've done and as much investigation as they've done and tips and leads that have come in they couldn't reconstruct where the two were for five hours. maybe at the fraternity house and went in a room together for five hours. who knows? more significantly is the type of investigation they conducted seems to be a little bit dogged by tunnel vision on this targeting thing. when i hear about 150 interviews

i want to hear about a thousand interviews. that's a neighborhood that -- that house is surrounded by apartments and houses. i guarantee there are at least 1,000 people within a football field of that house. so i think this person came on foot. so i think that the investigation needs to fall back and go back to gum shoe, go back to knocking on doors and account for absolutely everybody who is in that neighborhood and be very conciseive interviews on them. >> dana: at this point what sort of help from your experience the f.b.i. is providing to the local police? >> there is a very sensitive dynamic when you have small police departments. you don't have primary federal jurisdiction here. the f.b.i. is in a helping role as is the idaho state police. so a small police department like this, it is no criticism. they are are like a teenager in the sense they overestimate their capabilities and don't want anybody telling them what

to do or how to do it. i think this case, the f.b.i. is offering their assistance especially on the forensic side. state police same. but i'm afraid that the moscow department has just rigidly held onto the lead in this and made bad decisions that have affected the investigation. you can see the frustration from the families about that. >> dana: one last question and you might not have an answer for this. when do you think there might be some more answers? idaho police chief told fox news the case is not going cold. >> it's at a sensitive stage. it is on the verge of being a cold case in the sense that resources and the f.b.i. and state police start to peel off. the mvps are the investigative analysts would work the software, case management and forensic software so they can make connections and make queries. get all the data in there. i hope it is by now. and start to make intelligent

associations particularly with other crimes in other jurisdictions past and unfortunately maybe future. i think this case will get solved by that type of police work, matching it with another crime committed in the past or god forbid one that may yet have taken place. >> dana: chris swecker former f.b.i. assistant. thank you for being here. we'll stay on the story, thank you. >> thank you. >> the person with the biggest mojo. twitter's top lawyer james baker, the quarterback of the f.b.i./russia collusion, i don't know scandal. low and behold he shows up at twitter five months before the 2020 election. >> bill: so elon musk's decision to fire the former f.b.i. attorney james baker from twitter reignites this whole debate on big tech and government working hand in hand. congressman mike waltz on what

needs to be done. is apple serious about moving factories out of china or is it just p.r.? enes kanter freedom is with us today coming up. to our 100% cotton quilts, s. every single piece is made right here in america. we believe in keeping our heritage 100% american made. enjoy our farm to home products and receive

>> bill: the state of maryland becomes the latest state to ban executive branch employees from having tiktok on their government devices. the move comes days after similar bans in south carolina and south dakota. hogan says it could be involved the cyber espionage. may be no greater threat to our personal safety and national security. keep an eye on that story. >> dana: in washington there is a potential deal between the biden administration and tiktok. reportedly it hit a snag over

national security threat. edward lawrence is live at the white house. what is this all about? >> they are still talking. the biden administration was expected to have a deal with tiktok by the end of the year. negotiations dragged on with concerns of privacy and how much data is shared with the chinese government. previous administration had the same concerns and almost banned the app in the u.s. when president biden came into office in the first month he canceled that review of the chinese app. it grew in popularity and now the second review, same security concerns are back. >> there is a mixed answer coming out of the white house where there are many people in government working for the president that are still using it. it has to stop. but it can't end at just tiktok. we have to look at every place in which the chinese or others are using bots or, in fact, stealing information. we've got to stop it and retaliate if necessary. >> campaign record show tiktok

parent company bytedance lobbied lawmakers in the past two years. we'll see if tiktok privacy concerns when the secretary of state meets the chinese president in early 2023. listen today. >> we're determined to stand up very clearly and strongly for our own interests and values. there is no surprise. at the same time, it's important to us to see if we can find ways to cooperate on issues that affect both of our countries but also affect countries around the world whether it's climate, global health, macroeconomics. >> find ways to cooperate. the statement from tiktok. we're confident that we're on the path to fully satisfy all reasonable u.s. national security concerns and have already made significant strides toward implementing those solutions. more to come on this story, dana. >> dana: thank you, edward lawrence at the white house. >> bill: tiktok not the only big tech giant under pressure.

elon musk firing general counsel james baker over his alleged suppression of the "new york post" hunter biden laptop story weeks before the election of 2020. republican mike waltz out of florida member of the house armed services committee. thank you. we have a couple things to cover. get your reaction. we've talking about it for days now about twitter. what do you think is going on here and where do you think this is going? >> well apparently baker was actually trying to interfere with elon putting a spotlight on all of these documents and on this election interference that we're learning about. many of us suspected but now we're seeing the hard original source documents and this james baker, who was involved with the russia collusion scandal, was now at twitter also interfering. so we have a lot more to learn, bill. he was also the back channel to sussman, clinton's lawyer. apparently he was the back

channel to cover up the hunter biden story, including canceling kayleigh mcenany's account because she dared link to the story at the time. look, at the end of the day jim jordan, republicans on judiciary, we all need to get in the majority, get in place and peel back the onion on this. this is continuing to devastate the credibility of our national security institutions, of the f.b.i., intelligence community. when you have people with clearances in positions of power saying this is russian disinformation, and now it's not. it was a lie, the next time we come forth and they come forward and say i don't know, china is about to invade taiwan, who is going to believe them? because of the public erosion. that's what we have to -- the public erosion of trust and that's what we have to restore. >> bill: president xi lands in saudi arabia and be there for three days with the saudi arabian leader.

the relationship is growing. we're on the outside of this. how do you see this relationship here? john kirby was asked about it this past hour? >> well, this xi and his economy first and foremost. he needs to shore up his supply chains. key part is relationship with the gulf states. more broadly, what we should be reminding the saudis, if we had a better relationship. that is heavily damaged under the biden administration, china is also supporting their arch enemy iran. they have poured a lot of money into the iranian economy and buying a lot of their oil. we're seeing arms sales into iran and this is not a road that our saudi allies should be going down. but because this administration is more concerned about the iran deal and less concerned about our staunch allies in the gulf, we're seeing those allies reach out to china and others and

we're starting to see the erosion of american leadership. >> bill: almost as if you gave him a field to run on. u.s. faces a mineral crisis against china. the link you make here, call for number one, headline on the screen. the link you make is to the departure of kabul that allowed beijing to continue. explain. >> there are over a trillion dollars of rare earth minerals sitting in afghanistan. some of the world's largest reserves of lithium, cobalt, copper. i helped back in the bush administration commission the geological survey of these minerals and guess who is sitting there now? chinese geological survey team is sitting at bagram air base getting deals with the taliban to extract the minerals. we know that china controls 90% of our rare earths. they will bolster their supply

in a place in afghanistan that we spilled years and years of blood and treasure. it is infuriating. on top of that you have things like the inflation reduction act that will pour billions right into the chinese economy, which by the way they could care less about climate change. it is about control. and we have the world's largest solar panel factory in china being powered with coal-fired power plants that american money is going to flow into. we can't trade one dependency for another. but that's exactly what the administration's policy is doing. >> bill: understand your point. "washington examiner." the piece is out there today. nice to see you today. the republican from florida. >> dana: if you're a student submitting standardized test scores on college applications, why? also find this. parents struggling to find baby formula, yes, nearly a year since a nationwide shortage
