for jonathan turley. could this be witness intimidation? he sees this new warning to proceed at your own peril. >> sandra: welcome back as "america reports" rolls into hour two. i'm sandra smith in new york, john, a brand-new week. >> john: we are proceeding at our own peril, kind of a damn the torpedos, full speed ahead. twitter files. >> sandra: part five of the elon musk twitter dropping happened a few minutes ago. >> john: bari weiss talking about the aftermath of president trump, courtesy of new twitter owner elon musk, that staffers believed tweets written by former president trump around january 6th had not actually violated twitter policies, despite the company saying so at

the time. mike emmanuel was live in washington. >> fascinating, john, going through the steps that led to president trump's removal in the aftermath of january 6th. the fifth installment of the twitter files, removal of president trump after january 6th attack on the capitol. and weiss saying the morning of january 8, 1 remaining strike being at risk of permanent suspension from twitter tweets twice, 6:46 a.m., the president tweeted about the 75 million people who voted for him noting "they will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form." and then weiss reveals internal debate from unnamed twitter staffers whether it was incitement. and weiss says twitter employees organized to ban trump, a lot of

employee advocacy happening says an employee. there was some internal pushback, i'm not seeing clear or coded incitement, wrote a twitter policy official. i'll say the team has not found violations, that president trump was treated differently than some foreign leaders. in june, 2018, iran, said israel is a cancerous tumor that has to be eradicated, it will happen. twitter neither deleted the tweet nor banned the ayatollah, and another threatening twitter employees -- twitter did not ban him. >> john: they banned trump and

leave the ayatollah on the sight. what would they do if ghangis khan was still around. >> sandra: jonathan turley, dump number five, what's the news from it? >> what it reveals, a type of hair triggered environment of people just looking for any basis to ban donald trump. many of us criticized donald trump for what occurred on january 6th, but what you see in this company are people who are arguing that virtually any statement he makes, including the fairly innocuous one should be treated as a violation. that's really the face of censorship. that's what it means, is that you have people that sit there and they dress up personal bias as a way of protecting others from harm. what i really thought was

interesting is one of these exchanges of a woman from china who said look, i got to tell you i'm not comfortable with this, i'm from china. and what's fascinating, that voice was drown out because on the left censorship has become a certain rite of passage, you know, that it does not apply to us, we are not china, we are doing the right thing. and that's the type of blind advocacy in this license that we see in these emails. >> sandra: very interesting, as we sort of go through these, we are also noting the fact that we are about to see the beginning of these investigations into hunter biden. we know the newly led gop house plans to begin these almost immediately, we are expected to learn a whole lot more this week. that being said, what do you believe ultimately we will learn as we do note the way the media has covered every bit of this,

jonathan? >> well, what we have already seen is how the media is not even covering much of these twitter files, and the reason is, they are heavily invested in this scandal, invested in hunter biden, you know, the fact is that many of these organizations, including major papers, only recently acknowledged the laptop was authentic. two years later. but what's disturbing is not the laptop, but what's on it, which are hundreds of emails detailing an influence peddling scheme. it's famous form of corruption. i've been in the town three decades and never seen anything close to what the bidens' did. what you will see is a fool airing of what occurred here and the media is not going to like it and they are going to try not

to cover it, it's really indictment, not just of the bidens but the mainstream media, became this very active ally to the bidens in burying the story. >> sandra: you have a very bold opinion piece in "new york post," biden allies move to intimidate witnesses ahead of gop coming hunter probe. you say this, "the washinton post" is one of the most pro biden newspapers in the country and only recently admitted it's authentic. now a plan could create an open season on those who may try to influence, but democratic operatives clearly wanted people to know about this alliance. explain, jonathan. >> what was most astonishing to me about "the washinton post" story, it ended up in "the

washinton post," these are the types of scorched earth campaigns you keep under wraps. that's what the hillary clinton campaign did, they funded the steele dossier and denied to reporters because they did not want their fingerprints all over it. the other problem is you could be accused of trying to intimidate witnesses. so suddenly we have this article in the post people are giving long quotes about exactly what they plan to do and that they are targeting people like tony boboulinski. a former associate of the bidens, he represents a serious threat to president biden because he has contradicted what the president has said repeatedly to the american people so they say they will be targeting him and others in the coming weeks. well, that's not a very subtle threat for someone like him. they are saying we are coming after you and anyone who might

testify against the bidens. >> sandra: jonathan turley on that for us, and twitter files part five. appreciate you jumping on the breaking news. and as we dig through part five, the revelation there were staffers who did not believe that the former president donald trump violated its incitement policy and spoke up in the company. bari weiss is quoted saying the twitter staff assigned to evaluate tweets quickly concluded that trump had not violated twitter's policies. i think we would have a hard time saying this is incitement wrote one staffer, john. >> john: as mike emmanuel was reporting a short time ago, a number of differences of opinion within twitter as to whether or not donald trump had any violations to constitute a permanent ban, and seems to be coming down on the side of no, but a political decision by the

people in charge at the time, which was not jack dorsey, because he was off in french polynesia, in the south pacific, it was left to others to determine if he should be kicked off. >> john: new concerns before millions of americans hit the skies, a brand-new tsa program sounds a little bit like something that you might see coming from communist china. brand-new technology scans people's faces at checkpoints, sparking concerns over privacy and whether or not data is safe and might be used elsewhere. madison alworth reporting live from newark international, what are fliers saying? >> we have been talking to travelers all day long, and right now in the test mode and voluntary, they see it's where the technology is going, and yes makes them uncomfortable but

also seems to be inevitable. take a listen. >> a little concerned. if it's just for travel, i get it. but anything else, that's a little bit privacy invasion. >> a whole lot faster, i hate standing and waiting. >> i could see it cause some concern. we are getting surveillance everywhere, though. >> we will get more and more comfortable with this kind of stuff, roll with it, it's going to happen anyway. >> you kind of hear that really just resigned that this is the next step, and like i said, it is in test mode right now at airports across the country. screenings, known as cat 2, it involves scanning your face when you get to the tsa checkpoint and the officer compares it with the image on your travel documents, whether it be your passport or your driver's license. rolled out nationwide as early as next year. the tsa defending the program saying participation in the testing of biometric technology is completely voluntary. passengers may notify an officer

if they do not withish to participate and go through with the standard i.d. verification process. the real question americans have to answer as they opt in or out of this program is how much they are willing to give up in terms of privacy for the need of efficiency and speed. it's a big question to ask when you have long lines. at the end of the day, this is tech we have seen used in other countries and does draw concerns, especially from privacy experts. >> john: we'll see where it goes. madison alworth, thank you. >> sandra: stunning images of migrants crossing the border over the weekend. border patrol says there have been over 16,000 encounters in just two days. so why isn't president biden going down there to see this firsthand? ro khanna, he believes the president should go. he'll join us coming up. >> john: outrage after a man who confessed to sexually assaulting a sleeping woman on board of

airplane dodges jail time. why so many policemen and women are packing up and leaving the nypd. so, how is the judge in that assault case defending this decision? that is coming up next. all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work helping them achieve financial freedom. we're proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

transitioning back to civilian life was extremely difficult. you feel like an outsider every it was hard to admit defeat. and that's exactly what i felt like i was doing when i finally contacted the wounded warrior project. i knew that i needed help. and when i reached out, they gave me tools to better my life. they truly saved my life. >> sandra: america's crime crisis now, and new york gives critics plenty of examples of progressive crime policies that make people less safe. now a liberal federal judge is giving insight into what is going through their heads when they cut criminals a break. he just sentenced a brooklyn man who admitted to sexual assaulting a woman as she slept on an international flight to

jfk. prosecutors demanded prison time, but the judge ruled community service. saying convicted felons have a tough life and does not want to add to his burden. and soft on crime laws, likely one of the reasons behind an exodus at the nypd. the nation's largest police force that resignations are up 30%, more than 3,000 officers leaving the force as of just last month. the biggest mass exit new york's police has seen in two decades, coming as other states offer sign-on bonuses. morale has suffered. >> john: terrorist who has waited 34 years to face a judge is going to have to wait another hour. the first court appearance for the man accused of building the bomb that blew up a pan am 747

over lockerbie, scotland was postponed, it's now set for 3:00 here in washington, d.c. second only to 9/11 in terms of the deadliest terror attacks on americans. the 270 people killed including 35 students at syracuse university coming home for the holidays. the explosion so catastrophic that the jet debris rained over hundreds of miles, and killing 11 on the ground in scotland. >> i also want to express our gratitude to the u.s. authorities for today putting actions behind their 34 years of promises and pledges. >> john: our next guest was instrumental getting the libyan into u.s. custody. michael sherman, it's good to be with you. he was away from u.s. justice

for 34 years. finally brought to the united states yesterday. a case of justice delayed but not denied, thankfully. how did we get him? >> i don't know the actual circumstances of his actual detention and arrest. all i can tell you is what started this whole process was the case was relatively dormant for 20 years. it happened 34 years ago, which is pretty incredible. and in 2020 we had evidence that there was this interview of the bomber, and that confirms some things we knew from the prior case that went to trial 25 years earlier and once we received that information, it was essentially a confession to some degree about bombing and the discotech bombing in west germany in 1986. and institute a criminal complaint under seal, and

discussion with the scottish authorities over two years ago to put the balls in motion to make this case happen, and lead to the events we are seeing here today. >> john: if i'm not mistaken, in 2017, u.s. officials had a copy of an interview he had done with libya officials that said he built the bomb. and at the time it was done he may have been in the custody of a notorious brutal war lord. do you expect his attorneys when representing him may suggest or outright argue the confession was coerced? >> yeah, actually, you raise a great point. what's interesting about this case, look, the -- we filed the criminal complaint in 2020 because we knew that we had evidence to prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt or toronto barr would never have authorized filing the case.

the case is over 30 years old, it's not an easy case. there is significant evidence here, documentary evidence, forensic evidence, the blast pattern, debris that was picked up, all the little bread crumbs that point to him constructing the bomb. separate and apart, divorced from his admission, circumstantial evidence showing his path from libya to malta, putting the bomb on a feeder flight that leads to the samsonite suitcase on pan am 103. and also witness testimony of individuals in malta that saw the bomb maker at the scene where the samsonite luggage was placed on to the aircraft. but like you state, the confession is also important and there are some issues, some confrontational issues, some hearsay issues, fifth amendment issues, it's not a slam dunk of a case.

it's a very strong case and i expect doj to put on a strong case. but look, memories wane after 30 years, witnesses die, critical witnesses have died, so it's not an easy case. >> john: another person who has died is the only person to go to jail in connection with lockerbie, the pan am flight 103 bombing. he was released from a scottish prison in 2009 for compassionate reasons, died from cancer in 2012. but the fact that he is on u.s. soil and will be prosecuted in a u.s. court, how important is that for the 190 american victims he took down out of the skies? >> look, i think it's incredibly important for all the victims, not only the american victims. look, when we were considering bringing charges two years ago, working with the authorities because you have to work with them. they have the evidence. and without the evidence, we have no case.

so, this was a very sensitive part of negotiations dealing with the scottish authorities. but like you said, the first trial was not with u.s. prosecutors, this was with scottish prosecutors, a tribunal in the netherlands and that upset a lot of the victims. they wanted this in the united states, and thankfully now i think that we are going to have that, the victims will have their day in court to actually confront this bomb maker and let the evidence speak for itself to see the evidence will convict this, the bomb makinger. >> john: you laid the ground worker, what you said will be a very strong case. we'll be watching this as he goes on trial. again, his preliminary appearance in about 35 minutes' time in federal court here in washington, d.c. no cameras, but definitely get a report. thank you for joining us and laying that out for us, we really appreciate it. >> take care, thank you. >> sandra: the police in idaho

with a new statement just in the last hour. it has been released on the investigation into those four brutal stabbing murders. we will look at what it reveals now a month with the killer still on the lose. also an update from the coroner, and she's only talking to fox news. we are live on the ground in moscow with the latest details next.

one back,one back. the winter play was really coming together. until disaster struck.

♪ tensions were high. luckily, replacement costumes were shipped with fedex. which means mr. harvey could picture the perfect night. we're ready for the holidays, so you're ready for what's next. [applause] >> john: exactly one month now since the still unsolved idaho college killings. first time we are hearing from the coroner about where the hunt for evidence could be headed next. coroner speaking only with fox news about how the victims themselves might hold the clues that will lead to the killer. we also have a brand-new statement from investigators out moments ago on where this mystery stands right now. alexis mcadams is on the scene in moscow, idaho, the very

latest. you've been speaking with the local coroner, what have you learned? >> hi, john. the coroner here in this area, northern idaho, tells me that investigators inside the house after the murders did put paper bags on the victims' hands to protect key dna evidence in the case, the first time we are learning about any evidence inside the home here in moscow, idaho. the reason we bring up the hands, hands are so important, according to for instance specialist, they could hold clues, they could have touched the victim's face, or dna under the fingernails. other evidence could be complicated. >> you have to consider this evidence is multi-layered. you know, you have evidence that predates the actual event. you are going to have a lot of partial dna evidence there, commonly known as touch dna,

they have to suss through. >> so one month later now still no suspect, no motive, and no murder weapon. the bodies found hours after the students were killed, maddie and kaylee on the third floor, and two on the send floor, and two others uninjured. and girls were at this local bar in town and food truck, investigators have reviewed hours of surveillance footage from the bar, which does have cameras both inside and outside. also fox news has learned investigators have collected hours of video evidence, john, from a nearby gas station and it's only a half mile from the murder scene. >> we have been trying to use those videos to garner new information, as you can imagine, there is hours and hours and hours of video, so it does take a lot of time.

>> as police comb through the video from at least two local businesses, we are learning investigators are trying to track down a white hyundai elantra, near the home around the time of the murders. 2011 to 2013 model, john. they believe the people inside could have vital clues to crack this case. and we have talked so much about the backsliding glass door that investigators had said was a big part of the investigation, but i was told by a neighbor the other day this the front door to this home was wide open for hours before police were ever called. john. >> john: alexis mcadams with the latest from moscow, idaho. >> sandra: keep our eye on that. a live look at the dow ahead of the federal reserve meeting, a crucial week for the marks, especially heading into the final trading days of the year. dow up 280 points as charles payne told us earlier, a big inflation report out tomorrow a make or break moment for the markets.

meanwhile, the fed out with a new report showing new u.s. household wealth has plummeted for the third straight quarter as inflation remains at 40-year highs. let's bring in james freeman now, james, great to have you here. >> great to be here. >> watching markets, seems like markets are happy to start off the week, but it's the wait and see moment to see what happens next with the federal reserve, what happens with inflation. are we going into recession and if we are, how deep of a recession. while that's happening, household wealth continues to drop, why. >> yeah, that is the pain of inflation and then i mean, the stocks have come up, obviously, a bit in october and november, but this was a rough year for investors. you have the fears about what inflation is going to do in a slowing economy, federal reserve raising rates, makes stocks generally less attractive relative to some other

investments, but basically what ronald reagan called inflation, the thief of the middle class and really the thief of everyone. reduces the value of your money and assets. >> sandra: that is a remarkable drop. as far as the drop of household wealth in the country. people are losing 8.6% -- that has a huge effect on what we are seeing happen with the economy, and especially as we look out to the new year, the position that puts so many american families in the new year. >> a lot less wealthy than we thought and the federal reserve in large part to blame for this. the way, and policy makers in washington generally, the way they dealt with the pandemic was we are going to shut down the economy, the fed is going to create $5 trillion, so we can simulate the wealth and income that we would have if we were actually engaging in productive economy. so i think part of this is the hangover from that federal reserve has realized, got to pull that back.

but if you look at their balance sheet, they have not taken all that much money out of the economy. >> not yet. >> they are working on it. it's a slow process. so i think we still, i would caution people, i think a lot of investors in this town, certainly a lot of people in washington, treasury secretary janet yellen, they want to say the inflation thing is on its way to being resolved, you know, be careful here. we really have not seen the big policy turn where they are doing more incentive to create supply, and the money supply has not really shrunk. that situation has not fundamentally changed, and people as i said in the consensus, playing inflation would be transitory, kind of saying it again. >> sandra: remember that? >> and even if we get a good report, i hope it's positive tomorrow but look at the 1970s, a lot of this, people thought the inflation had been handled

and then it surged again at the end of the decade. >> sandra: 8.6% drop in welcome back, the second greatest on record, the other was following the financial crisis of 2008-2009. here is jamie dimon on preparing for the worst when it comes to oil and gas. listen. >> europeans will get through it this winter, but this oil and gas problem is going to go on for years. so i, if i was in the government or anywhere else, i have to prepare for getting worse. >> sandra: i have seen on social media accounts, many accounts of people who are making adjustments over in europe and surrounding areas where they are sharing, you know, people's homes, so they are not heating two homes, family members are moving in -- because it's gotten so expensive.

and he's warning, jamie dimon, the danger of this war is extraordinary and these price hikes might be around for quite some time. >> yeah, i think he's doing a general call for more energy supply, and i think it would be great if politicians in this country were listening as well. you've talked about this a lot. there is a danger when the politicians, when they take credit for the price of oil going down, they deny blame when it goes up. they have not really focused on why these things are happening, and he did a good job in that interview of pointing out it's expectations of a crummy economy that have recently driven the price down. it's not that all of a sudden we are acknowledging we need to pump more and drill more, it's just expectations it's going to be horrible. >> sandra: james, that was missing from the bulleted points why prices have come down. they say it's because this president has tapped the strategic petroleum reserve so many times.

>> if you want to be an optimist, even in europe, talking about the necessity of the situation, they have started to make some practical decisions, if you tell everybody you can't have fuel, it's not really great for the environment, they go back to coal which is much dirtier in a co2 sense than natural gas. what we have seen in germany is a crash program to allow for the import of liquified natural gas. in these situations, horrible things about the crisis are manifest and get people to think more clearly. >> sandra: perhaps one of my favorite tv moments this morning, another business channel, cnbc one of the anchors could not talk over the head of green policy initiatives at the white house because the white house leaf blower was so loud. did not confirm whether or not that was gas-powered, but how loud it was. how about a rake. >> the electrics don't have the

oomph. >> sandra: you decide. john. >> john: president biden's border crisis exploding over the weekend. listen to. 16,000 encounters in just two days. over $97 million in narcotics seized. just 48 hour period. >> sandra: why does the white house insist that president biden does not need to see the border in person? democrat ro khanna says he should go and the nation needs secure borders. how does he justify the white house lying? we'll ask him. it looks like - looks like you paid too much for your glasses. ... who? anyone who isn't shopping at america's best - where two pairs and a free exam start at just $79.95. book an exam today. ♪ -i say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

(gentle music) >> sandra: more jaw dropping images from the southern border showing the scope of that crisis like we have never seen before. fox news crews along the border capturing this stunning scene near el paso. thousands of illegal immigrants crossing into the united states and not coming across anything that would stop them. the 2000 or so migrants are a small fraction of the more than 16,000 migrants border agents encountered in just the last 48 hours alone. even though president biden is planning a trip to mexico next

month, he still says he will not visit the border, saying there are bigger issues to worry about. democratic congressman ro khanna is standing by, but rich, is the white house going to get more money for the border? >> sandra, the white house is asking for it, it's unclear because there's been some opposition. some republicans are saying the white house needs to overhaul their border policies before they approve or will go along with any more funding. this is ahead of next week title 42 is ending because of a federal judge order. that's the authority that allows the government to immediately expell certain migrants that they apprehend at the border. without title 42, more migrants will probably get to wait out their asylum claims in the united states, likely drawing more migrants to the southern border. the past two years have already seen record numbers of migrants at the southern border. some lawmakers say even if the white house had more money, additional funding would take

too long to have an effect. >> it's going to take time to hire new personnel, buy equipment, and just takes a long time. so equipment and technology is one thing. policies, you can start implementing policies pretty quickly and that's something that i'm hoping that the administration will do quickly. >> the people in texas, particularly on the border understand joe biden does not care. he does not care about us or the crisis. there is a gop, a great awakening along the border. >> the white house spokesperson says if republicans in congress are serious about border security, they would ensure that 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. the federal judge says title 42 must end next week, have had several republican-led states sue to extend that authority. back to you, sandra. >> sandra: rich, thank you.

>> john: sandra, for more on this, democratic california congressman ro khanna. i know you cannot see the video we will put on the screen, over the weekend, some 1500 immigrants crossed the rio grande, and brought to the border on busses that had a police escort. they were then turned over to ngos said there is the border, and there is the united states. get going. when is it going to be time for president biden to step up and do something about this? >> well, john, the president does want to do something, those of us in the house want to do something. we want to see secure borders and an orderly immigration process but we need funding to do that, we need funding for border patrol agents. by the way, the president has increased the border patrol agents since the last administration, just based on the numbers. but more importantly, we need

more asylum processing, refugee resettlement in the countries they are coming from so they don't end up on the border. i think there are bipartisan solutions here. >> john: this question directly, you can throw as much money as you want at what we are looking at on the right-hand side of the screen but how is that going to fix what we saw over the weekend? >> i don't think it's just about money. it's about a systematic solution. one of the things president obama started -- >> john: you said we need more money. >> that's one part of it. asylum officers would help process the cases, if they are not supposed to be here, adjudicated, and more resettlement, process the cases in the countries before people make the treacherous journey to the border and then if you have comprehensive immigration reform, then people who are coming here, if there's a local

pathway t coming here, they would be able to come here and then they would be able to go back if they did not want to stay here. all of this is not novel, the gang of eight did that with border security, we have to get some of that done. >> john: but again, you basically had the mexican government ferry this group of individuals to the border and say go for it. i mean, seems like what needs to happen there is president biden needs to pick up the phone and say to lopez obrador stop doing that. >> well, that's -- i don't know all the facts. but of course the mexican government should not be doing anything that is violating our laws and if -- and the president should be talking to the mexican president to make sure that they aren't aiding activity that is not legal. >> john: so nine days from now,

title 42 will be rescinded. what's going to happen then? >> look, i am for, candidly, rescinding of title 42. i think everyone should be able to make an asylum claim. one of the things you have right now is a lot of people are getting turned back and they are coming right back in because of title 42. and there are groups that have studied this that day that after the repeal of title 42, yes, there may be a short-term increase, but in the long run, the immigration is going to come down because you are not going to have people crossing back and forth the amount that they are currently. >> john: you'll have more people in the country, though. i think that will be the ultimate result of that. i want to switch gears, you are there -- you are not in silicon valley right now, but you represent silicon valley and we are learning twitter banned permanently president trump when it appeared as though there had been no violation that would trigger a permanent ban. bari weiss tweeting out "as an

fyi, safety has assessed the djt tweet above and determined no violation of our policies at this time." no violation of our policies at this time, yet he was banned permanently because senior management at twitter said no, it doesn't matter whether or not he violated the policies, we have to kick him off the platform. do you have a problem with that? >> i have to look at all the facts, and we need to release all of the facts. but obviously if there was not a violation of policy and just an arbitrary decision, yes, i would. my view, what i was told, is that twitter found some of the tweets were inciting violence and that's why they made that decision. but if there is evidence that was not the case, we absolutely need to look at it, needs to be consistently applied not based on viewpoint discrimination, based on what someone believes. >> john: according to bari weiss's reporting, a problem

with donald trump inciting violence, and the perform malaysian minister said it was ok to kill millions of people, he was left on the platform. >> if there are leaders inciting violence and threats of violence, that's the policy to remove them they should be removed. so, we have to look at all the evidence, but we need to make sure that we are looking at all of the emails and making sure that they are consistently applied. i've always said the application needs to be consistent and it needs to be transparent. >> john: does this deserve to be investigated by congress? >> i have said that i am open to looking at the broader issue of free speech to make sure that censorship is not taking place. both against conservatives and

liberals, it's happened to both, and to making sure at the same time that you have respect for people so you don't have anti-semitism or hate on the platforms. >> john: why did congress not investigate this, it's going to fall to republicans. >> we did have social media hearings, energy and commerce, but i'm open to looking at them. >> john: congressman, we have to run. ost. i promise to bring you advice that fits your values. i promise our relationship will be one of trust and transparency. as a fiduciary, i promise to put your interests first, always. charles schwab is proud to support the independent financial advisors who are passionately dedicated to helping people achieve their financial goals. visit findyourindependentadvisor.com
