>> looking at our world famous all american christmas tree. thank you for joining us today. >> see you on radio. >> see you tomorrow, too. bye everyone. >> so long. >> bill: good morning, everybody. 9:00 in new york. fox news alert. overnight deadly tornadoes ripping through the deep south touching down in three states. the damage is just about everywhere in louisiana took the brunt of the damage. twisters flattened homes leaving a wild trail of destruction. three dead, including a child. we're live in a moment coming up in one of the hardest-hit areas in moments. we begin with the curious story, a judge denying bail for sam bankman-fried, the disgraced ftx

founder deemed a flight risk. when you hear the charges in a moment he is facing it is easy to see why as we say good morning. holiday spirit live we are. i'm bill hemmer live in new york. >> dana: i'm dana perino. i don't know how far he would get. people are seeing his picture. he is behind bars and not likely to get anywhere. one of the biggest financial frauds in history is how prosecutors are describing it >> bill: he is said to be 30 years old. appearing before the judge in the bahamas. police arrested him at the request of u.s. prosecutors saying he stole billions playing fast and loose with a lot of money and funneling a chunk of that to politicians on both sides of the aisle. >> dana: if he is convicted on all counts, eight counts, he would face up to 115 years behind bars. kelly o'grady has the latest.

>> he is already getting a taste of what the cell would look like set to spend the holidays in a cell in bahama awaiting a february 8th extradition trial. the judge thought he would be a flight risk. everyone is asking where did all this money go? i've been digging into it for weeks pulling blockchain ledger records and pouring over court documents. a lot of the value was lost in poor margin trading and the crypto industry in general over the year but runaway spending funded by customer assets. they spent billions on venture investments. a if you million here and there on dozens of start-ups and spent heaps on celebrity endorsement deals. they were planning to pay taylor swift $1 hundred million. a ball mark range. company insider paid themselves over a billion in loans, bought

hundreds of millions of real estate and used company profits to finance political donations. i want to highlight one of the charges. violating campaign finance laws. what sbf and others are accused of is fraudulently donating under other names as a workaround to political contribution limits. that means that figure of $40 million is even larger. >> these contributions were disguised to look like they were coming from wealthy co-conspirators when the contributions were funded by alameda research with stolen customer money. all this dirty money was used in service of bankman-fried's desire to buy bipartisan influence and impact the direction of public policy. >> that sound bite is very, very impactful. tracing all that money will take months maybe even years. they had no records. it is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle.

>> bill: he was taking it in ole um b and passing it to column b. >> it was like a piggy bank he was using the money. >> bill: you are still stuck in new york. good during the holidays. jonathan turley is with us now, law professor, fox news contributor. good morning. you wrote a piece today saying it's the first time you recall when a prosecutor moved aggressively to prevent a defendant from testifying against his own self-incrimination. you call it curious. explain. >> well, it's particularly odd timing because he was hours away from doing something that could have effectively sealed the case for the prosecutors. he was going to allow himself to be cross-examined by hostile members of congress for hours on every detail of the case. why wouldn't a prosecutor want him to do that? all of that is admissible. he is allowed to do it. instead, they sort of threw a flag on the play and moved

quickly, charged him, stopped his appearance from occurring. so it was really baffling for a lot of us. but now we are going to have to see where this goes because, you know, the u.s. attorney referred to co-conspirators. when will we see those indictments particularly caroline ellison, the ceo of alameda. they just said alameda basically allowed him to shift money over from ftx to be used for all of these improper purposes. well, obviously ellison was the key figure there. the view is that she might be trying to cooperate. but the prosecutors may have other people in mind. one of the things that the prosecutors look for is a target's most vulnerable point. as a criminal defense attorney i would look at the parents. the father was reportedly paid

by his son, the mother reportedly helped with some of these donations to democratic causes. if they have any grounds for a charge, prosecutors will often press them as a way of getting the son to accept a plea. >> dana: interesting. heck of a family business. wanted the play some reaction from capitol hill because they didn't get to have him testify in front of them yesterday. >> unfortunately the timing of his arrest denies the public the opportunity to get the answers they deserve. >> if you're trying to put together a case against sam bankman-fried why not let him take the oath today, answer the questions for hours, and then arrest him? >> i think there is a lot of questions here about the timing of that arrest. >> all three may be right about that. the curious piece to use your word out of bloomberg today written by bill alison, bankman-fried accused. the first paragraph.

the second biggest democratic donor in the 2022 election cycle is charged with violating campaign finance laws in what could be the biggest infusion of illegal corporate money in u.s. politics in decades. how do you measure that up now, professor? >> well, that's i think the most interesting of these charges. pursuing that final charge on campaign financing could expose a sort of ugly face of the dark money accounts and other efforts to funnel money towards these campaigns. what is fascinating is that he seemed to rush to get millions out the door for the mid-term campaign as his company was collapsing. what was fascinating about the press conference, they were saying in november he was still trying to sort of leverage and wheel and deal as this company was coming crashing down around him. so all of the timing on these

things is really rather odd. that's another question of why the department of justice would work against its own interest to prevent him from giving under oath statements to congress on all of these details. it is going to fuel a lot of the concerns about what is being -- what forces are pushing this case and its timing. >> dana: curious is a good word for it. i could find other words later. >> bill: thank you, we'll talk to you soon. thank you. >> dana: at least three people confirmed dead in louisiana and dozens injured after tornadoes tear through the south. among the deaths sadly a young boy, severe storms causing major damage in oklahoma and texas. fox weather's robert wray is live in louisiana. >> good morning. a very sad situation here in

this parish in louisiana northwest part of the state just south of shreve port and unfortunately a young boy and his mother have died from this possible tornado that hit here yesterday. the boy found outside of his home in a debris field. the mother found at 2:30 a.m. a block away from their home unfortunately just two weeks before christmas. this family going through a lot, as is this community. you see behind me the cato parish sheriff with the roadblock not allowing people into the neighborhood that was destroyed yesterday by this severe weather. we're actually going to be escorted in by sheriff's department after this report and get a firsthand look at exactly the damage. but my goodness, extensive in this small town unfortunately and we know what happened in texas and oklahoma yesterday with six confirmed ef2 tornadoes, multiple injuries.

another town in louisiana about 100 miles from here, over 20 people injured as this system began on the west coast dump snow in the sierras, through the central plains and severe weather outbreak moving across the southern states here. i have to say just an unfortunate, sad scenario here this morning in this part of louisiana, a young boy and his mother passed at the end of the year because of severe weather. terrible as national weather service will assess and this community will be reeling for days to come. dana. >> dana: robert wray, thank you for being on the ground. we'll catch up with you in a little bit. >> bill: so minutes past the hour. feds wrapping up the final meeting of the year. this afternoon at 2:00 trying to tamp down inflation. how is it doing? what will the fed do in the latest move? how that will impact you and your family coming up shortly. >> dana: one crisis fueling another. how fentanyl is pulling more americans into homelessness. >> bill: you might remember this

from the white house. >> advised the president to go to the border with me. >> bill: well, that did not happen. title 42 expires one week from today. the white house seeking billions of dollars in new border funding. will that happen? we'll ask minority leader kevin mccarthy for an answer next. helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy. from the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. and help communities thrive.

>> dana: overnight the u.s. preparing to send one of its most advanced weapons to ukraine. the patriot defense system can intercept russian ballistic missiles from up to 100 miles away. the pentagon plan needs the approval of the secretary of defense. it could take months to train ukrainian soldiers how to operate the system. months they don't have as ukrainian troops are working to keep the russians from moving

further west amid new fears that belarus may decide to attack ukraine from the north. >> bill: 17 past. massive groups of migrants rushing the border ahead of title 42 that expires in one week. watch this story. border officials working overtime not only stopping migrants but seizing drugs by the day. bill melugin back live in the rio grande valley today. bill, good morning. >> good morning to you. we've recently been focusing on the el paso area where the huge caravan came across the other day. we take you elsewhere along the border to show you what's going on beginning with a series of major fentanyl busts in arizona. look at the photos here. cbp reports at the port of entry there in the span of a few days they made eight major fentanyl busts totaling 1.5 million fentanyl pills. they found it in gas tanks,

panels, floors, doors. blue, multicolored and rainbow colored that the dea is warning about recently. benson, arizona. look at the wild photos at a gas station there, border patrol makes a major human smuggling gust smuggling 14 illegal immigrants under a tarp at a gas station. they are dressed in camouflage. he was a u.s. citizen arrested and charged with human smuggling. another town in arizona. border patrol encountered five large groups totaling 500 people from 14 countries around the world in four different continents. it doesn't stop there. yuma sector reports in a one-week span they had more than 6400 illegal crossings of people from 46 different countries. lastly we'll take you to eagle pass. look at the video the drone team shot of another massive single group of several hundred

migrants that crossed illegally getting overrun like el paso. the del rio sector border patrol reporting in the last week they have had more than 10,700 illegal crossings including a group of 704. the biggest in that sector's history. guys, back out here live title 42 drops one week from today. a congressional aide tells fox news dhs is projecting once it does drop we'll see between 9,015,000 illegal crossings every day. we're at 7,000 right now. we'll send it back to you. >> bill: we await. bill melugin at the border. >> dana: how is capitol hill dealing with the migrant crisis and what to expect next year when republicans take over the house? kevin mccarthy is with us here. you invited president biden to go on a trip with you to the border. a border he has never visited. his press secretary yesterday with one of the things she always says about republicans. watch here. >> we put the question to congress and what are they going

to do here? republicans are asking, you know, how will we secure the border? i've listed out the ways we've tried to work on that. but we're also wanting to do this on a bipartisan way. republicans know how to work with us. why don't they work with us on this particular issue that is important to americans across the country. >> dana: i'll let you answer her there. >> clear. they don't want to work at all. they destroyed the border. we don't have operational control anymore. 1.5 million fentanyl pills in a week. one crossing from 42 different countries. it didn't used to be this way. what is going to happen one week when title 42 is lifted. all your viewers understand what that means. title 42 simply says when someone enters our country illegally from another nation we send them back to their country. when you do that, it stops illegal immigration from coming. but this administration will not

uphold that. there are projections it would be 13 million more team crossing the border illegally in the next two years under the biden administration. he won't even go and tour the border. he has been in office formore than 40 years and never been it to. how does he understand what's going on? the difference in 20 days on january 3rd, i will move hearings to the border. so these committees in congress and washington won't hold these hearings here, it will be at the border so the democrats can no longer avoid the situation. they've got to learn firsthand what's going on and the american public has to understand what's happening. >> bill: they're looking for $4 billion. they said if you don't work with them you aren't serious about the issue. can you find maybe the word is compromise or some sort of resolution between the two? we understand where you are coming from. we don't quite understand why the white house has allowed it to reach the point that it has.

so hang on. you want to be house speaker. bring the two sides together. how would you do that as speaker? >> the first thing is house speaker i bring the republicans and dream demme congratulations to the border so they understand the problem. i would take the border agents out of being processing agents where they are not even able to be on the border to protect it. so bring processors in there. i would put the policies back in with republicans and democrats remain in mexico. i would work with republicans and democrats to bring back title 42 that you would put people back into their countries so they know not to come here. i would make sure to go directly from republicans and democrats to go directly to china to stop sending the chemicals to the cartels in mexico to kill americans. that can no longer happen. the next thing i would do is make sure border agents have enough help.

now the cartels control the borders. the best thing that could actually happen i would have bill melugin testify. i would help -- fox would give him a one-hour special to let him show the videos that he has where there were tracers, bullets being shot at our national guard from the cartels on our border. i would give the stories of what is happening. you know what? this isn't a republican or democrat issue. today 300 americans are going to die because of what is happening on that border with fentanyl. tomorrow 300 more. you are watching people from 160 different countries coming. you know what else is happening? they're catching people on the terrorist watch list. we all know as americans what happens with a very few that come here that want to have a different way about america. so no, i will work with anyone that wants to do this. but to sit back in the white house and say we're not working with you. they have ignored the problem. they have created the problem and they have played politics with the problem. come january 3rd no longer will we accept that.

we'll bring everyone together and we'll go after to make sure this border is secure and americans are stopped from being killed. >> bill: as you were talking we had a drive drone shot from the border. 200 or 300 people there at day break. >> dana: but you have a good point which is when -- if or when you become speaker. here is recent headlines on your quest. "the new york times" saying your bid remains im periled on the right. nbc news says can the never kevin caucus hold the line. one qualified alternative speaker. what can you do in the next couple of weeks the try to lock this up? there are a few on -- that are basically saying they'll never vote for you for speaker and you don't have the margin you need in order to get there maybe today. >> our goal is to stop the biden agenda, win the majority and fire nancy pelosi. we achieved all three of those. i have been leader for four

years and we've win seats when every other republican entity has lost. we're talking to every person in the conference. we have had our primary after the election who to be the nominee. i won it by 85% of the vote. i don't think at the end of the day the five republicans will hold up our opportunity to secure the border or the five republicans will sit back and make us not be energy independent or let this runaway spending continue because that's what will happen if we don't. we have to find a way to work together for the next two years, otherwise we'll lose as individuals. >> bill: in a word quickly. do you think you have the votes as of today? >> i think on january 3rd or before then we'll have the votes. >> bill: we'll see then. thank you for your time kevin mccarthy. have a great christmas. >> thank you. you, too. >> bill: 25 past the hour. we are watching the fed. another decision on interest rates today. will it signal or slow the rising rates? eight counts of money fraud

including one charge of campaign finance offense. what is that all about? charlie gas parrino says sbf coned his investors. >> he will be extradited to the u.s. to face charges. it was a family criminal enterprise.

so how many vaccines have you given to people? me? about 1000. walgreens...millions. no way can i miss her big debut. with your booster, i think you'll be there. for every twirl. i got a shot so my sister won't get sick. way to go, big bro! so while we're here... ...flu shot, as well? let's do it. when you need to talk vaccinations, our pharmacists are here. ♪ ♪

hi, i'm michael, i've lost 70 pounds on golo. i spent thousands on other diets that didn't work. on golo, i spent a couple hundred bucks and got back down to my high school weight. you're not gonna believe this thing is possible but it is.

i see an amazing place. feels like a dream.

a place of many wonders - and full of life. i open my eyes: earth is our pandora. >> dana: back now, the market just opened and a slow start but up 58 -- 62 now. we're expecting a fed rate hike announcement today so we'll see where this goes as you are looking at it. >> bill: do you think half a point, 3/4 of a point? what is perino's money on? >> dana: i have no idea. we have to go to grady trimble who has an update for us from the white house. hi, grady. >> we're expecting another rate hike today. this time by 50 basis points. that would signal a slight shift

from jerome powell and the federal reserve. moderating the pace of interest rate hikes. so far this year in each of the first four meetings from june, the fed hiked rates by 75 basis points. this is the fastest pace of increases since the 1980s. of course it makes borrowing more expensive whether it's for mortgages, credit cards, car loans. the goal is to bring down inflation. it has happened as we saw in the latest cpi data. prices remain stubbornly high especially for food. eggs are nearly 50% more expensive than a year ago. milk and coffee are up almost 15% from last year. president biden isn't giving credit to the fed for the slowing inflation. instead he is claiming his policies are responsible. >> what is clear is my economic plan is working and we're just getting started. our goal is simple. get price increases under control without choking off

economic growth. bringing inflation down while keeping our labor market resilient. >> in addition to today's rate hike decision, we're expecting the fed's latest economic projections for next year. that will give us a sense, dana, whether the fed will continue to increase rates in 2023 and as we're expecting them to, by how much. bill and dana. >> dana: grady trimble at the white house today. >> bill: back to the crypto chaos. arrest of the former ceo sam bankman-fried. our next guest says the whole business was a con job. hello, sir. the cover of the "new york post." harry plotter. crypto con, sbf embezzled millions and begs for bail because he is a depressed vegan. he said that to the judge. >> i don't think it will work.

here is what i would say. if you get indicted by the southern district of new york, the u.s. attorney southern district. the chances of you getting convicted are 99.9%. this guy, as i've said on this show, is going to jail. he is going to jail for a long time. because even his sergeant schultz defense i didn't know this was happening. remember sergeant schultz from hogan's heroes, even with that there is negligence involved here. just by the fact he set up this big system without proper controls, thus it was bound to fail and bound to lead to fraud and theft. it was bound to do that. he set it up. he is going to jail. i will say this, i'm not totally surprised they brought the charges now. we've been reporting on fox business that they were looking to bring charges before the end of the year. got two weeks left, i guess, until the end of the year. they were under pressure to bring charges. when the u.s. attorney for the southern district brings a case, it is almost done. i know what he ising to say.

he will say i didn't mean it. they'll say why didn't you -- if you didn't mean it, why didn't you set up risk controls? i forgot. it doesn't work. >> dana: criminal activity. >> it is really theft. not that much different than bernie madoff. he reminds me of madoff. i've interviewed all the creeps. not him. they all had this weird disengagement from reality. madoff when i was interviewing him in prison at the time, you know, you know, i was kind of forced into it. my clients demanded it. this guy is doing the same thing. >> bill: you wrote about madoff saying he committed the fraud because he was trapped into the greed of others. >> that's what he told me. there is a disengagement. in order to be a socio- path and rip people off there has to be something in your brain that keeps you focused on the crime

or on the misdeed and you see it in madoff, i saw it in epstein, i interviewed him several times. a guy totally detached from the reality of what he did. you see it in this guy saying i didn't mean this. oh, i -- you know, i was too busy with ftx to care about the hedge fund that was losing all the money. i made a mistake here. and every now and then he says i'm sorry. it really is a bizarre psychological thing but it is common. they all have the same sort of mind set. >> dana: yesterday we had the inflation number at 7.1% year-over-year. extremely high yet a lot of the framing of this is that we're celebrating it. it is good it is not 7.3, i get that. but 7.1 still high. what will happen today at the fed? >> they still have a long way to go. if their inflation target is two, it is seven. that's -- that reminds me when i was a kid in the 70s. that wasn't so great. inflation was raging at that

point. so i think the markets are getting ahead of themselves celebrating here. i think powell may say something marginally we're keeping an eye on it and pull back if we have to. we have a long way to go. >> bill: the president was asked about it yesterday and when will you get inflation under control and he said maybe by the end of next year. >> there you go. that's a lot of 50 basis point rate increases. one other thing. the fed raises rates, bubbles and scams appear out of nowhere. bernie madoff was uncovered -- tuned himself in because we had a financial crisis. it was all about the financial crisis of 2008. therefore people pulling money out of his fund. the same thing is happening with crypto. people are bailing out of crypto because markets are starting to normalize. there will be a lot more scams coming up. the mean stocks that everybody said were so great. amc, there will be scams in

there. they were being pumped beyond belief and they will lose a tremendous amount of value. >> bill: nice to see you. check out the piece today. >> dana: great piece in the "new york post." great to have you. elon musk is the world's rich et man. twitter is keeping its wallet closed since he bought the company. as we hear from his predecessor, jack dorsey, about the infamous twitter files. all that ahead. even one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country is not immune to america's crime crisis. a grandmother stabbed to death in her own garage and her own grieving son is spinning out. >> one of the things we want to do is her name is out there, her picture is out there and want people to know that there was a real person behind this. are no s for appraisal or termite inspections. no upfront costs at all to get the cash you need. veterans get more at newday.

>> bill: 43 past now. three alarm fire at a police evidence compound in brooklyn tuesday afternoon. check that out, wow. injured at least eight people including six first responders. cold day in new york yesterday, too. new york city police chief saying the facility housed biological materials taken from past crime scenes including dna evidence from 30-year-old cases. >> dana: terrible. >> bill: it could take days to fully put it out. the cause of the blaze is under investigation. that's a mystery to itself, wow.

brooklyn, new york. >> dana: a tragic story out of atlanta. a 77-year-old grandmother found stabbed to death inside her garage in her gated community. her son discovered her body and we're hearing from him this morning. >> i began calling her at 2:00 with an arrival time of 5:00. she didn't answer, which was unusual. and i got there and my -- my -- i was on alert. the lights were off. so i ran around back to see if her car was there and that's when i found her. >> dana: absolutely heartbreaking interview. jonathan serrie has more from atlanta. >> this crime has everyone in shock. it rattles the sense of security that most of us feel in our homes. family and friends say the victim felt totally safe in her home in this upscale community. the 23-year-old antonio brown stole a bottle of vodka from a liquor store in the buck head

neighborhood after the clerk refused to sell it to him after he appeared intoxicated. he moved to a nearby gated community and tried to steel a lexus suv. police believe the vehicle's owner, the 77-year-old, walked in on him in the garage and was fatally stabbed. her son, michael. who planned on spending the holiday with his mom found her body in the garage. he is sharing her story to keep a human face on this terrible crime. >> she was a military wife. she was an english teacher. she was a real estate agent. she had an incredible life. she had just been in portugal with one of her best friends about a month ago and had gotten back and had a lifetime ahead of her. >> a lifetime cut short. friends and family have set up a gofundme page to increase awareness for eleanor and other victims and support one of her favorite charities. funds will be donated to the atlanta humane society.

eleanor's son says the community can do a better job intervening with these repeat offenders before their crimes get out of hand. innocent victims like his mothers have to suffer. >> dana: our hearts go out to him. >> bill: want to bring in geraldo, rivera for more. what he talks about is this upscale neighborhood called vineings, a great community north of atlanta. lived there for a time. this is not what you see in a gated community and you listen to her son. life does not go down like this, geraldo. >> you know, so many times i've come home or gone to see my mom at the beginning of a vacation or from a road trip and the great anticipation of seeing her and then that first moment of there you are and there is your elderly mom and you embrace and

you are washed with love and compassion and there she is. the image of michael going home, going around to the back because he suddenly had this pit in his stomach what the hell was wrong, and then goes and finds his mom stabbed to death in the garage in a home where the family had been very happy with the security, there she was safe and sound in a place she loved and to see your mother slaughtered like that is so searing. it is infuriating and horrifying. the first job of government is to keep people safe. that is the prime directive of government. and here in this -- how much more can society do to keep someone safe and then have an intruder come and take the life that you cherished and that was the keystone of your family? it is, as we approach the

christmas holidays, bill and dana, it is so absolutely gut wrenching. there are crimes -- i feel for everybody. this one is so particularly near to home. >> bill: this was a robbery in progress that she tried to stop and paid for it with her life. i want to play another clip from michael. he was so impressive. he describes it not just as an atlanta problem. give this a listen. >> i think the crime issue in this country is so much bigger than buck head and so much bigger than atlanta. this is happening everywhere. and i will say she did feel safe. what we want to explain to people or hope people understand is that none of us right now are as safe as we think they are. >> bill: we've been reporting on the rising crime in america for three years. >> just think how random, bill, this crime. here is a guy with a long rap

sheet. being his fourth arrest. the last assault he was charged with was against his own mother. he is a drunk, steals a bottle of vodka, jumps the fence in the gated community and randomly chooses a victim who interrupted him as he was stealing her vehicle, totally random. how do you protect yourself from this lightening strike? it is so really deeply unsettling. i don't know what advice i can give to anybody. if you pointed your investigative nose at the record of antonio brown whose parents were similarly horrified by the deed their son committed. they expressed their profound sorrow to the victim's family. this is the perpetrator's family joining in this cascade of emotion and sorrow. but how do you protect yourself from the random crime? i don't know how you do.

i think that one of the, you know, reasons that when surveyed government gets such low grades is because of the apparent inability of government at almost any level to keep its citizens safe now. >> bill: thank you, geraldo. my best to you in cleveland. >> dana: an alarming new trend among students. new report says many of them are turning to tiktok to fill in the gaps about questions they feel uncomfortable bringing up with their teachers or parents. what does this open them up for in terms of misinformation? ...innovation...
