7:00 am
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.
7:01 am
>> dana: poinsettias. he won the debate. >> bill: are they real? >> dana: yep. >> bill: we water them every morning. no, we don't. i'm bill hemmer, good morning. merry christmas. the policy allowing agents to rapidly remove migrants due to covid concerns is expected to end a week from wednesday. the 21st of december. this as the biden administration is seeking $3 billion in border security funding from congress. and the president facing growing bipartisan pressure to visit the border and do more to help the crisis. that is again out of control. >> this year we'll break another record. this administration is not doing a single thing to slow the flow. people are asking me just yesterday why are the numbers increasing now? they thought the numbers will explode. senators and congressman talking about amnesty. haven't they seen over the last three decades? >> dana: team coverage. marc thiessen with analysis.
7:02 am
mark meredith we house and first to bill melugin in mission, texas along the border. bill, you have video almost hard to believe but right there on tape. >> good morning. that's exactly right. the biggest single group we have ever seen during our border coverage crossed illegally into el paso, texas right now. we'll get right to that stunning footage. this was sunday night in el paso, an enormous migrant caravan of well over 1,000 people crossed illegally into el paso last night. el paso media reporting it is potentially the biggest mass crossing in the city's history. potentially at least in decades. you can see wave after wave after wave of hundreds of these migrants walking across the river and gathering on the u.s. side of the river. they form a single file line that you will see in the video at some points goes as far as the eye can see. it was chilly in el paso last
7:03 am
night. some of the migrants start campfires on the u.s. side of the river waiting to be processed. cbp sources in the last 24 hours they have had 2,400 illegal crossings and more than 5,000 people in custody right now. the city of el paso is reporting as of this morning border patrol has started mass releasing several hundred migrants to el paso city streets as border patrol is overwhelmed. where did they come from? this is in mexico. buses of migrants, 20 of them. received a mexican police escort to the border. mexican police guided about 20 of these migrant buses full of migrants into the mexican city across from el paso where thump dropped off at ngos and shelters. they didn't stay there. they walked to the river and crossed illegally into el paso en masse.
7:04 am
happening along the border. the third piece of video. eagle pass this morning our team up there in the pre-dawn hours finding a group of nearly 500 migrants that crossed illegally all at the same time. as you can see almost all of them single adults. eagle pass getting hammered in recent days. a couple days a group of 702. over the weekend a group of 650. having an impact on border patrol infrastructure there. last video take a look at this. drone team shot this over the weekend. the tent processing facility on the north side of eagle pass has capacity of 1,000. over the weekend they started overflowing. lines of migrants waiting to get inside. border patrol vans loaded up with migrants that couldn't unload because they had to clear space on the inside. border patrol is overwhelmed on the border right now. keep in mind. all that video you just saw is
7:05 am
with title 42 in place. set to drop in nine days. all of our border patrol sources are telling us you can expect chaos and a surge on top of a surge when it finally drops. send it back to you. >> dana: incredible. thank you. >> bill: as bill was mentioning biden administration looking for 3 billion more in funding. president facing pressure from all sides to try to manage the situation before it gets worse. how could it get worse? mark meredith from the north lawn begins a new week there. good morning. >> good morning to you. pressure is likely to going to keep building on president biden and his administration to address the border. a separate political fight underway between the white house and congressional republicans when it comes to funding for border security. what will happen next with title 42 certainly drawing a lot of attention. policy that was created during the pandemic under the trump administration essentially allowed the federal government to expel migrants and limit
7:06 am
asylum seekers' options. the concern as bill was mentioning, tens of thousands of migrants will try to enter the u.s. at one time. former border officials warning the situation will get worse before it gets better. >> the system is overwhelmed with the rescission of title 42 without being able to expel people back it will crumble under its own weight. they're already overwhelmed. >> reports department of homeland security wans wants additional $3 billion to address the border. republicans might be skeptical and may demand tougher immigration policies out of the white house at the same time. we're hearing from an administration spokesperson saying if republicans in congress are serious about border security, they would insure the men and women of the department of homeland security have the resources they need to secure our border and build a safe, orderly and humane immigration system. republicans say it is the white house asleep at the wheel ever since january of 2021.
7:07 am
they continue to be openly critical of the president as well as his decision not to visit the border personally. he was in arizona last week and chose not to make a stop there. continuing to hear, bill, about repeated criticism for the homeland security secretary. we'll see what happens with the new congress. whether that criticism amps up. >> bill: mark meredith, north lawn. >> dana: marc thiessen, call up number one. the southwest border encounters. if you look, okay, 2020, 2021. you can see from 450,000 to 1.7 million, now 2.3 million we're on december 12th. and now title 42 is going to go away and it is shocking. we were talk than on the break. if you aren't watching fox you don't know it's happening. >> exactly right. every year the "washington post" i do a top -- i asked bill melugin give me some data points to show me how the border has
7:08 am
gotten worse from 2021 to 2022. here is what he told me. 1.7 million encounters in 2021. up to 2.4 million now. 2021, 390,000 gotaways. this year 600,000. 2021, 15 terror watch list arrests. this year 98. 2021, 600 migrant deaths. this year 800,000. the worst border crisis in american history. unbelievably it has gotten worse this year with title 42. worse next year. >> bill: they are either working on this side of the border or mexico or other partners in central america, why. >> they don't see it as a crisis. the president said the other day what asked to the border why not going to the border? i have more important things to do. what he doesn't seem to understand, this is not just hurting the country but his
7:09 am
agenda. he wants -- he said he wants to get immigration reform passed, right? we do need legal immigration reform. we have a labor shortage. we need to have people coming in to fill some of those jobs in an orderly way. the prerequisite for any immigration reform is a secure border. what you just saw there is no political will in congress to do anything on immigration until you get that border under control. so he is not going to solve the inflation crisis until he secures the border and he won't get anything done for the dreamers and other people until he secures the border. he doesn't seem to care. >> dana: it is remarkable. i want to ask you about kyrsten sinema making a decision to leave the democratic party, become an independent. bernie sanders doesn't think it's a great idea. call for number four. >> i happen to suspect it is probably a lot to do with politics back in arizona.
7:10 am
i think the democrats there are not all that enthusiastic about somebody who helped sabotage some of the most important legislation that protects the interests of working families and voting rights and so forth. i think it really has to do with her political aspirations for the future in arizona. >> dana: a lot of frustration. she doesn't -- she probably doesn't -- i think she is sincere. she doesn't feel like she is a democrat. now the democrats are thinking they'll probably primary her in arizona and could be a pickup opportunity for the republicans in 2024. >> bernie sanders is an independent because he is a socialist. sinema is not a socialist. she had 70% of democrats in arizona disapprove. if she had run in a democratic primary she would have lost. now she is throwing the ball in the court of the democrats saying i'm running as an
7:11 am
independent. run a democrat against me or nominate somebody else and the republicans will win the seat. you will split the vote or you can do what you do in maine and what you do in vermont with bernie sanders and just endorse me. she is very smart move. the big question now becomes what do republicans do in that state? because if the democrats are smart and they endorse sinema for re-election they nominate another maga candidate they will lose that seat. if they nominate somebody like doug doocy, he can take her on with a good chance of beating her in a competitive race. >> bill: call for number three. josh saying something similar. arizona senator sinema's decision has triggered the possibility of a blue on purple civil war that could cost democrats a must-win senate seat in 2024. >> how rational the democrats are and how much they hate her. she ended up -- she has weakened
7:12 am
their anger against her a little bit by voting for the inflation reduction act that won't reduce inflation but also weakens her support among conservatives in the state who liked her for standing up to the democrats. >> dana: she is critical of biden's action on the border. the federal government has failed here. >> bill: democrats have to decide if they'll be rational -- >> smart move is endorse her and give her the nomination the way they do in maine the king and bernie sanders. and in utah with the republican candidate mcmullen. >> dana: she does vote with them 90% of the time. >> 95. >> bill: good to see you in person. elon musk releases more details on the inner workers of twitter. what they revell. >> dana: republicans are going to look into hunter biden's business dealings.
7:13 am
>> we'll bring them in and they'll have an opportunity to explain themselves to us and explain why they continue to make so many mistakes at best and at worst they look like they're politicized. after years of chasing the big idaho potato truck... i finally caught it. oh man. always look for the grown in idaho seal.
7:14 am

7:18 am
>> bill: police in new york city searching for a woman who tased and robbed an uber driver after getting a ride. they released a photo of the suspect. tased the driver. grabbed his wallet from the car's center console that contained hundreds of dollars and credit cards. she was at a mcdonalds using the victim's stolen credit card later. >> dana: america's producers are paying 7.4% more for goods and services than they did last year according to the latest producer price index friday.
7:19 am
tomorrow the consumer price report when we learn more how much of those higher costs are passed on to you, the consumer. the fed set to meet on wednesday as it tries to cool inflation. not sure what they'll do. edward lawrence probably knows at the white house with more. >> you are probably going to see a rate hike of half a percent. the white house feeling a little more confident about the state of things as gas prices are coming down a little bit. certainly not to the level when president biden took office. yesterday treasury secretary janet yellen told 60 minutes americans should get a break from inflation. >> i believe inflation will be lower. i am very hopeful that the labor market will remain quite healthy so that people can feel good about their finances and their personal economic situation. >> in 2021 it's the same
7:20 am
treasury secretary who said inflation would finish at 2% last year and revised it to 3 and 4%. you see where that's going. elon musk says if the fed raises interest rates the risk recession will be amplified. recession warnings from bank of america, wells fargo and j.p. morgan chase. the white house press secretary sensitive whether the president's plans for inflation. >> you told me the inflation reduction act should bring down inflation early next year. if it doesn't do that significantly, is that seen as a -- >> first of all that's a bunch of hypotheticals you are asking me. what i laid out is something that economists said by looking at the inflation reduck shun act. you are bringing up a hypothetical. >> bill: tomorrow the cpi inflation report comes out. wednesday we get that decision
7:21 am
from the fed about how high interest rates will go. >> dana: thanks, edward. >> bill: only a few weeks until republicans take control of the house and getting ready for hearings into the hunter biden laptop story and the president's involvement in his overseas deals. his allies are -- an array of groups is preparing to defend the president's son against an onslaught but lack a unifying strategy. john levine, good morning to you. kevin mccarthy also said they will compel 51 intel agents who signed that paper about hunter's laptop being russian disinformation a few weeks before the election of 2020. >> right. >> bill: remember, the f.b.i. had the laptop for a year, john. >> i think it's just a grand idea to subpoena those people.
7:22 am
for me it's a classic question of what did they know and when did they know it. not just that they had the laptop for a year before it was published but also these were people that held senior position in the obama/biden white house. clapper, brennan, panetta. they could have launched a precision drone strike. for them to say we didn't know what hunter biden was up to in those days. they must have known what the vice president's son was doing in china and russia during that period. so my question would be what did you know, when did you know it and why did you lie to the american people in that letter calling it russian disinformation when you knew it must have been true and you knew what was happening? i would want to know these things under oath. >> dana: at the very least super careless and just said put my name on it, it's fine and they violated -- >> where did the letter come from? who organized it? that's stuff we need to get to. >> dana: that will be interesting as well.
7:23 am
more twitter files released over the weekend. miranda devine wrote this. the media's silence on the twitter files is shameful. the best description of what they're doing is -- i can't say the word -- it's a great german word for death by silence, a tactic to kill ideas or news stories by ignore them. >> these people are so deep in, "new york times," cnn, npr. you have years and years of shadow banning isn't happening. it's a right wing conspiracy. hunter biden is misinformation. the viewers -- you can't now tell them everything we've told you for years on this subject was wrong. i think unfortunately, the narrative is more powerful than the facts in a lot of these cases where they are just going to power through it as best they can because they can't reverse. the ship is too big to turn around. >> bill: were you able to put in
7:24 am
summation what was released over the weekend? we're up to four dumps right now. there is a lot there. >> i think the key thing to view it as a single story. it is coming out in parts because elon musk wants to make it attractive on twitter and driver news and have a news cycle. it is the story about how twitter went from being a good company to becoming a very partisan political and very bad company. that's the story. i love the twitter files. i think we're learning so much and so many major, major revelations. i know people who have been going on about shadow banning for eight years and i've been hearing about it for years and i've been told it is fought real, it's a myth. your content is not good. now we see the proof. elon musk has promised all users can look up to see if they've ever been subject to censorship or shadow banning.
7:25 am
it is all coming out. >> dana: if they shadow ban percy, i'm going to be upset. i don't think i was shadow banned. maybe something i re- tweeted was. it is clear we all have a lot more followers. thousands more than we did before elon musk was there. something was happening. >> bill: we always thought twitter was a fraudulent company and now we see the lid has been taken off. one quick thing. new academic analysis. more than 140,000 twitter accounts that used phrases or #s like bye, bye twitter only 1.6% left the social media platform entirely. >> they love to hate him. they are going to stay there. alexander vinman is my favorite of all these. he is tweeting almost every day. twitter is dead.
7:26 am
i'm done with twitter. i notice you are still here. >> dana: the people who were going to move to canada when trump won. >> my mother would tell me the girls were teasing me because they were secretly obsessed with you. >> dana: still true to this day. they are. heard all about it. thank you for being here. american college student vanishing without a trace without studying abroad. his family is asking for help. a man accused in the bombing of pan am flight 103 making his first court appearance this morning in u.s. how the victims' families are reacting. >> we have kept in the forefront of six administrations and yesterday he was brought into u.s. custody. another person responsible for the murder of our loved ones. ut so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're providing greater access to investing,

7:32 am
france. his parents pleading for help saying they last heard from him weeks ago. david lee miller is on the case in new york. what have we learned? >> the parents of ken have started a website to help find their missing son. a screen graph from security camera video recorded on december 3rd at a sporting goods store in france. it is the last known sighting. bank records show he spent the equivalent of $8.40 and vanished. he is a student there and staying with a host family while studying there. his folks say he had been in regular communication wi everyt changed. that's when they say they heard from ken for the last time via whatsapp. that same day he traveled about two hours south to another city. on november 30th his phone pinged but remained inactive.
7:33 am
at some point he continued traveling further south where he was then recorded at the sporting goods store. his family says because he is 22, which makes him an adult, the school along with french and u.s. officials are prohibited giving updates on his possible whereabouts. this morning they took their plea for help to the public. >> i say kenny, kenny, just call me. just pick up the phone. you can talk to me about anything. that's what i texted him. call me, text me, anything. >> it is not characteristic with kenny to not reach out to us and let us know what's going on. he loves to travel so this trip has been something that he has really looked forward to. >> his family says the school in france has filed a missing persons report but they feel helpless trying to locate their own son. his parents say authorities might be able to locate him if he uses his passport. but that document is not
7:34 am
necessary if he is traveling on the ground throughout much of europe. >> bill: mystery there. david lee, thanks. >> dana: the suspectedn d.c. court today nearly 34 years to the day after the terror attack killed hundreds on pan am flight 103 over scotland. 190 victims were americans. suspect is a libyan national extradited to the u.s. general jack keane joins me now. listen to one of the victims' brothers on with bill last hour. >> i spoke independently to an f.b.i. agent who was involved in the investigation and a scottish police agent. both of them said to me iran is involved up to their next but we do not have criminal information. there is only one person that can give us the full truth of it and it's president biden.
7:35 am
>> dana: i'm sure you've covered the story for years. you were in the army at the time. now that you have this outcome do you think it's possible that iran was maybe involved? >> well, you can't rule that out given the history of what they've done in the middle east attempting to drive the united states out of the middle east. they bombed us in the early 80s, 248 marines killed in the bare yaks and bombed our embassy in lebanon and khobar towers in 1996. yes, of course. intelligence services and the f.b.i. deserve credit for finally getting this man in our hands. i will tell you what, dana, i feel for these families and how frustrated they must be. this attack took place in the last month of the reagan administration. they are moving into the bush administration the following
7:36 am
january. and who made the decision not to treat this as an act of war because it was a terrorist act and in short order we knew it came from libya. in 1991 we charge libyan intelligence official and we charge a libyan airline official for being complicit in what we're defining as a crime. but going back to 86 in april of that year, a nightclub in germany in berlin was bombed by libya. one soldier was killed and 20 or 30 -- about 50 were wounded and other germans as well. nine days later we conducted a massive attack against libya based on some hard intelligence with 100 airplanes. bases, barracks and gadhafi's headquarters. it was treating a terrorist act as an act of war and giving us
7:37 am
the authority to react and retaliate against the nation state. we made some kind of a policy change here and didn't retaliate. i know that must be frustrating to the families and then finally, these two who were charged, it took ten years to get them into a courtroom and one was found not guilty. and that courtroom was a scottish one. i know the families must have been frustrated it wasn't an american courtroom. the other individual was found guilty but recall what happened here. eight years later, he was released because he had cancer and he was terminal and he went home a hero and lived for three more years with his family and friends. this is the frustration our families have gone through here. you have to feel for them having gone through this >> dana: one of the things that burt ammerman said as well if our response had been different to the lockerbie bombing maybe such massive attacks like the
7:38 am
9/11 attacks might not have been possible because we would have had a different posture. it gets to your point that you have to respond to terrorist attacks for what they are. >> absolutely. the mastermind of the 9/11 attack did say the feeble response by the clinton administration to the two bombings of the u.s. embassies in africa and to the u.s.s. cole contributed to their boldness in thinking they could bring down america psychologically and economically by conducting an attack against the american people. clearly there was correlation of past u.s. policy decisions that did contribute to 9/11. that's an established fact developed by the commission on 9/11. >> dana: general jack keane, thank you on this day where we finally -- the wheels of justice turn slowly but they're turning. i agree you have to feel with those families indeed and say a
7:39 am
prayer for them today. thank you. >> bill: health officials warning that so-called treple-demic of flu, covid and rsv could get worse. how are hospitals handling it? a jet fuel shortage affecting airports in florida. what's behind that and the travel problems it might create unless we head it off now. stay tuned coming up. veteran homeowners: need cash? 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. introducing a revolutionary comfort mat that can be lengthened and even go around corners to perfectly fit your space. because we don't want to be confined to just one area to stay comfortable while working. the comfortmat connect from weathertech.

7:46 am
and rsv-related illness east on the rise across the country. they call it a treple-demic putting a strain on hospitals nationwide and health officials are warning it could get worse. bryan llenas on the story in new york. what do we need to know, bryan? >> good morning. the treple-demic is expected to get worse as families get together for the holidays over the next two weeks. it shows little to know flu in october and that quickly shifts to dark red and purple colors indicating flu at high or very high levels in nearly every state. it is the yearlyest and hardest hitting flu we've seen in a decade. it got far worse after thanksgiving. according to the cdc after the holiday week flu cases spiked 85% to 13 million. hospitalizations spiked to 120,000. and flu deaths surged 73%. hospitals are strained.
7:47 am
80% of hospital beds are in use nationwide. a rate reportedly not seen since january's omicron surge. more people are being hospitalized for flu than covid but covid hospitalizations are up 36% since thanksgiving. as a result, los angeles is weighing a possible mask mandate and new york city issued a mask advisory strongly recommending mask use indoors in offices, stores, public transit and even in schools. also urging people to wear masks outside in crowded spaces. the question is whether people will listen. we went to the rockefeller christmas tree home to the city's largest outside crowd and found very few people wearing masks. >> i would not go back to masks. i'm comfortable not wearing a mask. i'm a teacher. i am exposed a lot. we have all the precautions. >> a lot of people are over it. >> we're protected enough and
7:48 am
done all we can to do away with this flu and that scene. >> i will say you see more people wearing masks in the subways. good news rsv cases are coming down and urging people get the flu shot and covid-19 booster. >> bill: cold and flu season. bryan llenas on the sidewalk of new york. >> dana: one of the biggest climate activists in the biden administration racking up major miles on private jets and guess who is footing the bill. orion flashes down. what the successful mission means for space flight. i was born on the south side of chicago. it has been a long road, but now i'm working for schwab. i love to help people understand the world through their lens and invest accordingly. you can call us
