♪ >> how cool was it that dog ran on the set? >> how cute was she. she said dennis quade gave her her dogs. they had a lot of surgeries. so cute. >> bill: good morning and we're pulling back the curtain when a new batch of internal emails the lengths the company of twitter went to to censor conservatives. fourth batch is dropped. i'm bill hemmer in new york city. hello to you. >> dana: i'm dana perino. this is "america's newsroom." there is more to come not just on politics but on scientists especially regarding covid. there is all of that. elon musk releasing parts 3 and 4 of the so-called twitter files over the weekend. they reveal the process called

shadow banning and how the company rewrote its own rule book in order to permanently ban a sitting president of the united states. >> bill: among the revelations jake dorsey was on vacation during the january 6th riot. that left the decision to ban president trump to yoel roth, the company's former head of trust and security. >> dana: it suggests democratic pol politics influenced. the administration said it was keeping a close eye on the company of the musk takeover. >> we aren't directing private social media companies how to manage their content. these are decisions they have to make as appropriate. look, we don't want to see, you know, the public square polluted with hate speech and disinformation but it is up to these social media companies to determine how they will manage their content. >> dana: team fox coverage plus reaction from congressman james

comer. let's begin with mike emanuel in washington. >> among the revelations behind the scenes of president trump being banned by twitter. michael shellenberger tweeting around 11:30 many pacific time roth says he is excited to share, guess what? jack just t offend irrelevant for civic integrity. result in permanent suspension. yoel roth. shellenberger said there was a push inside the social media giant coming from twitter's progressive staff and method for removal came with a new policy. a confused senior executive in advertising sales sends a dm to roth. jack says we'll permanently suspend trump if our policies are violated after a 12-hour account lock. what policies is jack talking

about? roth, any policy violation. there was also external pressure on twitter from former first lady michelle obama who wrote now is the time for silicon valley companies to stop enabling this monstrous behavior and go further than they have already by permanently banning this man from their platforms and putting in place policies to prevent their technologies from being used by the nation's leaders to fuel insurrection. these revelations part of the drip, drip of newly released information about the internal workings at twitter. we await to see if there are more to come from the twitter files. >> dana: thank you for that. >> bill: let's bring in james comer, push can out of kentucky, hello to you. based on what i'm reading you will be the busiest man in america come the new year. you wrote a piece in the "wall street journal." headline. get ready for republican oversight. we'll conduct serious investigations and propose real reforms. here is your list.

border and fentanyl crises. pandemic relief fraud, afghanistan withdrawal, energy crisis, covid origins, biden's family business schemes. how are you going to get all that done? >> i'm fortunate to have a large staff. our staff will double on january 3rd when we go to the majority. i have great members on the committee. we have in ones coming in that are interested in oversight. if you think about it, there has been 0 oversight in this building for the past two years. democrats have had the majority in both the house and senate and completely turned a blind eye to the biden administration, disastrous policies, the runaway spending and to the elephant in the room, this influence peddling that their family continues to do. >> dana: i've noticed in our op ed with the headline get ready for republican oversight. you stressed every one of these hearings has to be tied to

something about the national interest. and you know already that there is a huge amount of effort from the democrats even outside of politics from these outside groups, a lot of money to try to discredit you before you even get going. and to suggest this isn't what the public wants. they want republicans and democrats to work together to solve problems. how do you plan to combat that communications effort by the democrats? >> they've already spent millions of dollars attacking kevin mccarthy, jim jordan and myself. we pay no attention. we're focused ahead and basing our evidence and investigation -- investigations on evidence. everything that we've brought forward we have reason to believe is necessary from an investigative or oversight standpoint. this administration refuses to cooperate with any type of investigations with any type of oversight. hypocrisy for joe biden and the democrats to say well the american people don't want any investigations, they want

republicans and democrats to get along. name one time over the past two years joe biden has tried to do anything to be somewhat bipartisan. aside from the infrastructure bill i can't think of any legislation, i can't think of any time he has come forward and said what priorities are important to the republicans? remember, we're deeply divided in america. 50% on each side roughly and this administration has been hyper partisan. they've done nothing but investigate the previous administration and still investigating the previous administration two years after trump left office. we announce one investigation and you think the sky is falling in washington, d.c. >> bill: there is one i missed on the 51 intelligence agents who signed the letter in 2020. kevin mccarthy said this. >> those 51 intel agents that signed a letter that said the hunter biden information was all wrong? i'll have a hearing, bring them

and subpoena them before committee. clapper, brennan. why do you use the reputation that america was able to give to you, more information, but use it for a political purpose and lie to the american public? >> bill: tell us a little bit more about that and how you hope to get to the bottom of it and whether or not they'll answer your questions. >> we're very concerned about our intelligence community. you go back the last 20 years, our intelligence community made a lot of mistakes. if you go all the way back to iraq, had weapons of mass destruction they had some big miss is. they told us afghanistan, the troops that we trained would fight back. they came and told us ukraine would drop weapons and run. they continue to make mistakes. you look at what we're finding out with twitter. they knew that that laptop was legitimate. they knew it was authentic but they discredited the story and

said it was russian disinformation. there is a lack of trust if congress. they make too many mistakes and now we don't trust them. we'll bring them in and they will have an opportunity to explain themselves to us and explain why they continue to make so many mistakes. at best. at worst they look like they're politicized. >> bill: thank you, sir. i get the impression we'll talk a lot come the new year. >> dana: jonathan turley said this in the "new york post." he said hunter biden may have collected millions in selling access and influence but anyone investigating or accusing the bidens is now fully warned, proceed at your own peril. warning there. >> bill: what do you think? >> dana: oversight hearings are coming and when you have subpoena power, there is power in that and you have to respond so that will be there. >> bill: the first week of the new year is going to be busy. a whole new line of storms.

>> dana: shot out of a cannon. >> bill: we'll see how far stories get over time. >> dana: the big breaking news. accused lockerbie bomb maker due in court today. he was i can en into u.s. custody over the weekend nearly 34 years to the day after the terror attack. 190 americans among the 270 people killed when that bomb took down pan am flight 103 over scotland. david spunt is outside district court in washington with these developments. >> the man will appear before a judge this afternoon. he was taken into custody over the weekend and landed in washington yesterday. this case is significant and this extradition is significant for several reasons, dana. number one, it keeps the story in the news. it will be 34 years on december 21st since this horrific tragedy. also he is the third person to

be charged in this bombing but the first suspect to actually face those charges physically on american soil. this is a mug shot of him released by the all ex an dee yeah, virginia sheriff's office in jail yesterday. two others were charged but never came to the united states. it happened december 21st, 1988. pan am flight 103. a flight headed to jfk airport in new york city after leaving london. blew up over lockerbie, scotland. this is the man accused of making the bomb. one of the victims syracuse university student, 35 syracuse university students died. of the 270 killed. 190 were americans. here is rick's sister this morning. >> one of the goals we've all had is to seek the truth and hold those responsible accountable. and i think this takes us a step closer to doing that. again, this is just one more

person who is responsible. >> two years ago in 2020, then outgoing attorney general bill barr announced charges against this man. that was the 32nd anniversary. >> let there be no mistake. no amount of time or distance will stop the united states and our scottish partners from pursuing justice in this case. >> things are personal for bill b barr. he announced charges against the other two men that didn't make it to the united states. bill barr announced those charges during the trump administration. and garland saw the charges through. in a fraught political environment it began in the trump administration and finished in the biden administration. the man will appear in court this afternoon. dana and bill.

>> dana: justice will be done even if it's slow to get there. we'll have a lot more on this with the brother of one of those killed in the flight 103 bombing. burt ammerman will join us. >> bill: 12 minutes past the hour. a surge of migrants over the weekend crossing the border yet again. the white house seeking billions in additional border funding. >> dana: a dangerous storm outwest. how the system is impacting travel today. >> bill: the quadruple murder investigation in idaho taking another turn over the weekend. the evidence that might hold the key. >> when you have a quadruple homicide and one person is more brutalized than other, it leans more toward it being a personal more toward it being a personal attack. t o help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's one that'll really take you back.

be on the lookout for a white car they say could help them crack the case. alexis mcadams at her post. week two, moscow idaho, more from there. hello. >> good morning. that's right. the car is the biggest piece of information we've been able to get on the ground. it was winter graduation on saturday. there were lots of families in town. lots of students in the downtown area in moscow, idaho. police released a warning urging the public and people near campus to be vigilant and travel in groups. eerie warning as the killer is still not behind bars. look here. this is from that winter graduation on saturday. you can see the students there filing in. the graduation there at the university of idaho did hold a moment, bill, of silence for the four victims. the mood on campus is still very somber. >> it has been a tough few weeks for our community and i want to acknowledge a loss in our family. ethan chapin, xana concern

olding, kayleigh gone cavils and maddie mowing an. they were cherished members of our community. >> it has rocked the campus. they were stabbed to death one month ago. no suspect or murder weapon. the families now of the four left with more questions than answers here. we now know the victims all got back to that house around 2:00 in the morning. they were killed sometime between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning. maddie and kaylee were killed on the third floor. the other two on the third and two surviving suspects on the first floor. the police are looking for a car leading to a big spike in tips. >> we have had a lot of tips come in on the white car. appreciate everybody's calls sending in the clips.

in investigators are following up. we appreciate the help. >> a closer look at the car. a 2011 to 201300 die elantra. it was so close to that area they could have vital information on the case because it dead ends. one way in and out. they believe they could have seen or heard something at the time of the murders. the town is empty. winter graduation has come to a close and a lot of students are heading home early for winter break. police are trying to talk to those students before they leave. >> bill: thanks. alexis mcadams. good to have you on scene. >> dana: let's bring in inspector paul morrow. you've been to the site a couple of times in idaho. there is an issue with the car. what are you thinking this morning? >> the car is the first hard data point the police in this task force has held its cards close to the chest. for them to release that tells me they do assess it it is a

lead. one of the things we talked about on the show is the rear of the house that hasn't gotten a lot of attention. there is a rise behind the house and wooded, not very large and levels off and there is a parking lot. 15 cars could fit there. the key is, you look right down from that parking lot through the trees easily into the sliding glass back doors onto the second floor where ethan and xana were asleep. if you walk that area, it is hard not to be struck when you are behind that house and look down into that house what a perfect vantage point that is for somebody looking to do something like this. >> bill: second question on this, show them 1 or 2. this is the house. the sketch you see screen right is floor number two. you see the arrow that leads to the third floor that goes to the right. the next full screen we have is the two girls on floor three

murdered. the girl and boy on floor two murdered. the two girls in floor number one survive. i was listening to this over the weekend, paul. i don't find any new clues in this. i'm wondering if the case has gone cold. >> i don't think it's gone cold. that's very premature. one of the things embedded in this from the beginning is an easy leap to make because it is horrific crime and a small town. oh, the local cops must have blown the crime scene. this thing is dead already and a cold case. let's review the facts. there has been a couple of public relations glitches here, all right? but they immediately ask for the help of the idaho state police and immediately asked for the help of the f.b.i. that isn't easy for cops and shows a level of maturity from this police chief. police aren't the people who ask for help and they don't like to ask for help. they are supposed to provide help. they got the help in right away.

just because maybe from the optics it is not going swimmingly perfectly from the outside perspective, it does not mean internally they aren't doing everything they're supposed to be doing. the layout of the house as you have it there is accurate. what it means is anybody's guess. we don't know enough. >> dana: i want to ask you about a different topic. the fact that you had a little bit of experience with viktor bout. he is the arms dealer that was traded for brittney griner who is home now and doing very well. already has a basketball in her hand and getting back to her normal life. this was from bout on the moment he passed griner on the tarmac. he said she wanted to shake my hand. you could feel she was positive. my point on this she had no idea who he was. she was being polite and nice. we don't have that video but viktor bout was the most wanted man in the world after bin laden back in 2008 and obama

administration brought him in. >> the case began under bush and continued into the obama administration. it was an excellent operation run by people i know in d.e.a. they got him in thailand from on e an operation and able to sting him with a deal. he was able to get heavy material, military material into very densely forested areas. it was areas of west africa and nations likely-liberia and where she made which is $6 billion getting that stuff. old soviet-era material that's left over from the breakup of the soviet union and able to leverage that around the world and make his fortune. >> bill: and perhaps to do it again at age 55. >> he is still a young man. there has to be a reason they

wanted him so badly. >> bill: thank you. nice to see you. paul morrow in new york. we have controversy at the t.s.a. after the agency said it is testing a new facial recognition program at some airports across the country. is there a privacy concern? we'll check. the alleged lockerbie bomb maker finally facing justice in an american courtroom today. it has been 34 years, 270 dead, the victim's families unwavering in their fight for answers and today they secured one more puzzle piece. the brother of one of the passengers on board that flight, pan am 103, will join us next. >> i believe if we had handled this appropriately then we might not have had 9/11. what we showed the world back in pan am flight 103 is that america was soft on state-sponsored terrorism.

>> bill: back now to the big story surrounding the 1988 lockerbie bombing. now the suspected bomb maker set to appear in court today in washington, d.c., two years after then a.g. bill barr charged him in the terror attack that killed 270, most americans. many students from syracuse, university from home from the u.k. one of the victims was the businessman you see her. tom ammerman. his brother, burt, is with me now. what a time this must be. wow, all these years later. i was reading that you were not anticipating this development. so it even surprised you. >> that's true. yesterday morning it is ironic, preparing for christmas 34 years ago, ten days before, ten days later i was in lockerbie, scotland for over ten days trying to identify the remains of my brother. a front page story for 34 years.

there is a reason for that. yes, this was surprising, but we have to keep being pragmatic about getting the results. >> bill: your brother was 36 at the time. born in august of 1952. that would make him 70 years old today had he lived. i just heard a clip from you a moment ago suggesting that had our response been different after 9/11 -- or even after lockerbie in 1988 that maybe 9/11 would not have happened. why do you think that? >> absolutely. well, the one thing that has been constant during the 34 years is the family group. so we're able to connect the dots. i've been doing that for the entire time. and when lockerbie bombing took place, the world was watching. what was going to be the response of the united states? and when the united states did not respond, that told the world it's okay to attack the united

states. and the likes of bin laden started preparing for vicious attacks. the night before i met with bush 41 in the oval office in 1989, i had a private meeting with john walshe from "america's most wanted."enter you won't get any of it because the betting line down here in d.c. the third world countries wouldn't be stupid enough to do it again because there would be military retaliation. sadly, he was 100% right. >> bill: you think this goes beyond just tripoli and the libyans and gadhafi. what is your thought? >> it's two-fold, bill. that's what people have to remind themselves. bush 41 -- i am not partisan. republican administrations and democratic administrations have

dropped the ball on this for 34 years. criminal evidence. there is not one thing of evidence implicating iran. when they indicted these two. i told bush back in 1989, this is not a criminal act and should not be put in the criminal arena. it should be intelligence information because there was an attack on the flag of the united states. and i spoke independently to an f.b.i. agent who was involved in the investigation and a scottish police agent. i befriended a lot of them during this time and i asked them where is iran? i spoke to them separately and both of them said there is no criminal evidence. i said yeah, but iran has to be involved. they said intelligence information, both of them said to me, iran is involved up to their necks but we do not have criminal information. so there is only one person that can get all of this out and give

us the full truth and that's president biden. and people the end to forget president biden was a senator in 1988. so if there is anyone down in d.c. that knows this issue backwards and forwards, is him. so don't deflect this to the state department and don't deflect it to the defense department, which is what they all do down there, republicans and democrats. president biden, get the intelligence information and get the intelligence information out as much as the criminal. >> bill: will you have a chance to be in the courtroom or do you even want that opportunity? >> no, bill. i was in the trial in the netherlands. i was there for the first three days. involved with the libyan relatives and what was going on there. it is 34 years later. i'm satisfied with the announcement yesterday, but after 35 years, i still remain somewhat skeptical because now

when is the trial going to take place? when will you move ahead? let's get those answers sooner rather than later. >> bill: great to have you on today. let's stay in contact. my best to you and your family especially during the holiday with this news. thank you for being here. from the annual day of remembrance in syracuse new york taking on added weight this year. there were 35 students from syracuse on board the flight when it exploded december 21, 1988. they were returning home after studying for a semester in europe. >> dana: tsa is testing its controversial facial recognition technology at more than a dozen airports across the country. there are some serious privacy concerns. we're live at newark airport. >> you will need more than your i.d. coming up soon. they will be expanding facial recognition technology across the nation.

privacy experts are sounding the alarm. passengers i spoke to say they saw the move coming. so let's break it down. facial recognition technology cat two. it scans the passengers face at the tsa checkpoint and compares it to the documents, driver's license or passports. it will expand nationwide as soon as next year. in a statement they defended the program saying quote participation in the testing of the technology is voluntary. passengers may notify a tsa officers if they don't anticipate and go through the standard i.d. verification process. 2 million passengers travel through tsa each day. travelers we spoke to were resigned to the change. take a listen. >> a little concerned. if it's just for travel i get

it. but anything else that's a little bit privacy in danger. >> i feel like it wouldn't make a difference. they already know too much of us. >> the way technology is going. not a big fan but no slowing it down. zblun less you have something to hide it shouldn't matter at all. >> one thing i heard from a lot of passengers is they already feel like they use the technology to unlock their phone with face i.d. doesn't feel all that different but it says something about how we operate today. speed and convenience trumps out everything despite the potential privacy concerns. >> dana: interesting as technology advances. thank you, madison. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: another sunday, another play by patrick mahomes. a crowd in denver at yesterday's game. they went wild with this one. he scrambled and made a no-look

pass for a touchdown. the move adds to his long, long highlight reel and propelled the chiefs with a win over the broncos. that was the best the broncos have played all year according to my sister. >> bill: sorry about your broncos. >> dana: congratulations on the bengals. >> bill: they won again. that's so good. you remember doug flutie the quarterback for a number of teams. he did that stuff all the time in college. extraordinary. boom, boom, boom. and it all worked. bengals won five in a row. honing in on hunter. how kevin mccarthy is vowing to get to the bottom of the laptop story. the president's son isn't bothered by any of this. a gallery in new york is selling one of his paintings for a quarter million dollars and jimmy failla but down the money to buy it and hang it in the living. he lives to tell the story. jimmie is next.

>> dana: new york city art gallery unveiling a new painting by hunter biden and the sale price is $250,000. that's a lot. >> that's big money. if you think the price is high, you should meet the painter. good to see you. come on now. but the reason this does look bad. no administration has cared less about optics than this one. i think the belief is they don't expect backlash from the press. prior to joe biden becoming the president, there was no market for hunter biden, okay? he wasn't a known commodity in the art world. the only thing he was known for

is painting the town, okay? there was no demand for this. it looks a little ridiculous that they might be peddling a little influence here and this very much overlaps with the accusation in the hunter biden laptops that they traded on the name. they seem to be doing that here. >> bill: you are two for two. his version of starry starry night. the guy running the gallery said biden has been a painter for years, always been an artist. painting on your own and saying that's how i'll do itment i'm going to be an artist. >> i don't buy that. they aren't taking the company public. the one thing is it's only $2 hundred thousand for hunter. he has to give 10% of the sale to the big guy. >> bill: topic two. nancy pelosi's daughter apparently says her mom is tough to crack. license here sound bite. >> there is no catching her off guard. my life's work is trying to get her to go off guard. she eats nails for breakfast.

represents here, okay, and what elon is trying to do. there is some overlap. i think this is an unforced error by musk. the reason he is showing the light of day to these internal censorship efforts was to prove how corrupt the previous regime was. he is inserting himself into the debate by taking a political position. i don't know that this was the right move but i find it really funny and after the weekend i had in oklahoma city i'm glad no one is calling to prosecute me. that's it. >> bill: statute of limitations hasn't expired yet. >> thanks for nothing. >> bill: sheriff knocking on the door. >> dana: you're never going back to oklahoma. >> no time soon. >> bill: sam bankman-fried, sbf set to testify in a house hearing tomorrow as the feds weigh possible fraud charges after the giant crypto collapse. an american disappears while

fraud. >> bill: you are right on that point. i want to bring in vivek ramaswamy. good morning to you. should he do this now? under oath? >> you know what? i think he has learned an important lesson from the people who preceded him. fraudsters. the way it works you wax eloquent. win awards, make political contributions to the right party. when things go south he has a new practiced vulnerability. apologize profusely. you saw it from a lot of the financial executives in the after math of the 2008 crisis. he is taking a play from their playbook. one piece of advice is to interrogate not beating up this one guy but recognize all the ways he wasn't actually that different than a lot of the more

genteel fraudsters before him. it is not that different than what happened at m. f.global. another exchange with co-mingling of funds. former goldman exec and new jersey governor. how history repeats itself again. this hearing tomorrow will be a lot more familiar than in my first scene. >> bill: he has suggested that you are a smart person, you can read up on this stuff. if you choose to invest with me, you know there is risk involved in this. to me that sounds like his defense. you? >> so it conflates two different issues. the people invested in ftx the company. they were taking a risk but they would have gotten a lot of upside for betting on a business, some fail, some succeed. that's different than puts your customer in an exchange where

you were never taking that kind of risk. when you see your money disappear it is not the kind of risk you were taking. sbf has become a master of deflection. the do good smoke screen and now use a technocratic smoke screen to deflect accountability. the most remarkable part of this story is not how he is so different from the other elite financial intelligence regarding him as the other, the weird guy in the bahamas who wore a t-shirt and shorts but how similar he is to a lot of the actors who ended up getting bail-outs in the after math of the 2008 financial crisis. jon corzine got off. interesting to see whether he benefits. >> bill: he said there is ruminateing. when i get up during the day i try to focus and be as productive as i can and ignore things out of my control. i have 15 seconds, vivek.

crypto education is not a for tay of most lawmakers in washington, d.c. he may talk circles around him. >> it's likely. this guy calls for crypto -wide regulation. the irony is it would have advantaged his firm. and the irony is that his collapse may result-in-law makers knee jerk reacting to exactly pass the kind of regulations that he was arguing for that would have made decentralized exchanges more competitive in preventing a fraud like this. regulators shouldn't fall for that trap. it is a telltale sign. >> bill: vivek ramaswamy in ohio today. >> dana: fox news alert. border officials are preparing for the expected end of the title 42 migrant policy next week. some say it will fuel an even greater migrant surge which seems hard to believe. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. good morning to you. >> bill: hello to you. good morning. lovely in red. you match the flowers.
