for one of few tools helping immigration officials handle the surge. great to see you. >> sandra: great to be with you. one week away from the end of title 42, and overwhelmed border communities are now bracing for an onslaught even more migrants and drugs in the aftermath. kevin mccarthy with a dire warning. >> projections 13 million more people will cross illegally the next two yours under the biden administration. he won't even go and tour the border. >> sandra: arizona is one of the states on the front lines. officials seizing more than 1.5 million fentanyl pills just over the last few days, at just one port of entry. >> john: tens and tens of millions of dollars. large groups spill across the border every day, coming from countries around the world. and the frustration is mounting over what many see as inaction

from the biden administration. the>> sandra: chad wolf will join us in moment. we begin with bill melugin, live on the border at mission, texas to kick things off. this crisis is not just in texas, is it? >> sandra, good afternoon to you, no, it's not. as a matter of fact, arizona is one of the biggest hot spots when it comes to fentanyl smuggling across our border. case in point, take a look at these images here. cbp reporting a single point of entry in nogales, arizona, over a few days, eight separate fentanyl busts totaling more than 1.5 million fentanyl pills, hidden in panels, floors, doors, blue, multi-colored and rainbow-colored as well. out of benson, arizona, a major smuggling bust at a local gas station. border patrol agents stopping a pickup truck, they found 14

illegal immigrants, all dressed in camouflage, crammed into the back of the truck smuggled by somebody, that was a u.s. citizen arrested and charged with human smuggling. take you down to ajo, arizona, border patrol reporting five big groups totaling nearly 500 people and from 14 countries around the world. nearby yuma sector, arrested more than 6,000 people from 46 different countries around the world. then bring you back here to texas, eagle pass, take a look at the drone video, another group crossing illegally. several hundred in size, almost all of them single adults. reporting last week alone, they had more than 10,700 illegal crossings. and more than 3,200 known got-aways. back out here live, to put the numbers in perspective for you,

sources tell fox news in the first two and a half months of fiscal year 2023, we are at more than 505,000 illegal krongs at the border. that is more than all of fiscal year 2020, about 450,000. excuse me, back to you. >> sandra: thanks, bill, stunning numbers, and the pictures tell the story and they continue to. thank you very much, john. >> john: bring in chad wolf now, former acting dhs secretary in the trump administration, so mayorkas was in el paso talking to officials, nothing that resembled a plan, and now the white house will ask for more money. >> throwing more money is not going to solve the crisis. we don't have a funding issue or money issue. what we have an issue with are the policies encouraging this type of behavior that continue to see hundreds of thousands of

folks, millions of folks coming across the border. it's not because dhs lacks funding. it's because they lack the will to implement policies that will deter this type of behavior, simply providing $4 billion to further facilitate this crisis is going to do nothing about solving the crisis. >> john: extraordinary pictures on the screen of el paso on sunday, almost 2,000 people walked across the river into el paso with nobody there to stop them. and then also wonder, if customs and border protection, border patrol is tied up with the people, what is happening between the ports of entry. since october 1st, when fiscal year 23 began, 505,137 border encounters, el paso is ground 0. claudia rodriguez, a city councilmember said. >> i've been sounding the alarm on this thing since may of this year, we are being given money

and the money is not solving the issue. the issue is that it needs to be, it needs to stop. the border needs to be secure, and they are not doing that. >> at the same time, there are thousands of people camping out in border towns like matamors waiting for title 42 to come off and will walk across the border. what are we facing here? >> actions speak louder than words, the administration will talk about a secure and orderly humane system, but the actions at the end of the day are driving this, and the actions are if someone comes across this border that is being facilitated by the administration, they are going to stay in the u.s. and that's all that matters. so until you bring some deterrents back into the system and consequences and accountability for folks that break the law, you will see the high numbers. administration will say the plan they have in place is to facilitate more and more individuals into the country. they want $4 billion, they don't want to solve the problem, don't want to solve the crisis, don't

want to turn them around, they want to process them quicker into the country. >> john: it's not $4 billion to keep coming from coming in, but deal with them once they are here. >> we put the question to congress and what are they going to do here, republicans know how to work with us, so why don't they work with us on this particular issue that is important to americans across the country. >> john: this administration and democrats keep saying republicans have no plan to deal with this. we talk to many, many republicans, including yourself, who say the solution to this problem is reinstate the trump era policies that joe biden dismantled his first day in office. >> which delivered a plan in transition, so they have it. it actually does not require new authorities by congress, yes, it would be nice to get some of those, but the executive branch, president biden has all the authority. dhs has the authority they need to solve this crisis today if they have the will and the

leadership to do so. they don't want to do that. instead they go to congress and talk about amnesty, the solution is nothing to do with solving the crisis. but more amnesty for 2 million, 3 million individuals, only going to incentivize the crisis. it's a backwards thinking how they are approaching this crisis. i don't think they want to solve it. i think they are happy with the way it's unfolding and that's what a lot of americans don't agree with. >> john: crisis in seven days may become a catastrophe. good to talk to you. thanks for coming in today. sandra, we will talk with the lone democrat who is waving the flag saying we have to do something about this. >> sandra: and he has been pushing, henry cuellar from

texas. he has a lot to say in that. meanwhile, the crazy weather, a severe weather system spawning twisters across the south, killing at least two in louisiana, a mother and a child. all told, 17 tornadoes have been spotted in four states since tuesday, and more may be on the way. chief meteorologist rick. >> today worse than yesterday, these are the storm reports for the last 24 hours, you see a lot of them right here across the lower mississippi valley. tornado warnings in effect, one across i-10, you are going to be wanting to watch this, are this is not i-10, that goes towards baton rouge and new orleans. i-10 is where a lot of activity is. one tornado watch in effect until 1:00, a new one will b

beish -- be issued, level 4 out of 5 chance of severe weather, this is going to go on the next 5 to 6 hours. let me show you the future track. most is happening during the daylight hours, by the time we get overnight we have heavy rain but i don't think we'll be talking about severe weather with that. we have a flood threat as well. a lot of the southeast, especially the lower mississippi river valley is dealing with significant drought, this is coming too fast, a threat for flooding, be careful on the roads, we will see some flooding that will cause some problems. tomorrow, the storm weakens a bit but still a severe threat across parts of north florida,

coastal areas of georgia and parts of the carolinas, maybe a tornado or two in through tomorrow, but not as significant. the north side of the snow, a lot of snow happening, parts of the high plains here, nebraska, 16 inches of snowflakes wood, south dakota, a foot of snow, and really a slow moving storm. two days of snow to fall, along with that, really windy because of that wind and the snow we have blizzard warnings in effect, anywhere you see this orange color there. so be very careful here, very dangerous situation going on, especially across parts of nebraska and parts of south dakota. additional snow to fall through friday, some spots 8 to 12 more inches across the dakotas, but eventually we see a little more of this to get part of minnesota and wisconsin. and sandra, i have not had a chance to get there. all the storm moves toward the east. parts of the mid atlantic,

interior snow. >> sandra: and getting close to being able to forecast christmas day for many across the country. ok, rick, thank you. and for continuing coverage, you can tune into fox weather by downloading the app for free at fox weather, and use your phone to scan that qr code on the screen. extremely helpful to have. >> coding, coding, narcan, narcan. >> john: dramatic bodycam video shows a near death experience for a florida police woman after coming in contact with fentanyl at a traffic stop. details on how little it took to almost kill her and how rescuers thankfully were able to save her life. >> sandra: unbelievable what happened there. plus, damage assessments underway in ukraine after dozens of iranian-made drones were shot out of the sky. why kyiv may get some major help

from the u.s. to even the odds. >> john: and we are peeling back more layers on the onion the ftx meltdown including sdam bankman-fried. >> we would have had valuable information under oath of to be used for his press cushion. but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody.

>> john: ukrainian forces shooting down drones over kyiv this morning, this as the united states finalizes plans to send ukraine a high-tech defense system to fend off future attacks from russia. nate foy is live.

what did you see, nate? >> john, good afternoon. government office hit this morning was still smoldering when we got on scene. as you mentioned, all 13 iranian-made drones were shot down by ukrainian air defense. even an intercepted drone can cause a lot of damage, take a look. >> with smoke still rising from a government office in kyiv, authorities survey the damage below. hours after a russian drone strike. >> this morning the terrorist started with 13 drones. previously all 13 were shot down by our ukrainian air defense systems. well done, i'm proud. >> nearby residents began fixing their shattered windows in freezing temperatures, side-by-side with investigators, examining the scene. >> you see fragments of that iranian drone or one of the 13

iranian drones shot down this morning, some damage in kyiv behind me, a government building that has sustained major damage. the corner has been completely taken out. windows have been blown out as crews are now assessing the damage inside, and we also have crews here we moving debris from high up in these trees as a result of this morning's airstrike. and four apartment complexes here in the city of kyiv sustained damage. >> the people inside apartments describe the strike. >> third time it happens with me during this year. >> this man tells me he's no longer scared for his life. it's become normal. >> first time scared, next is common. >> how sad is that, john. these people have become accustomed to airstrikes. there is hope as you mentioned just before you got to me about the patriot missile defense

system that may be coming soon from the united states and it's badly needed here in kyiv. 40% of people are living without power during the day. at night, drops to about 25%, and temperatures again are freezing. back to you. >> john: hardship after hardship in ukraine, no question about that. nate foy with the latest. thank you. >> sandra: more details coming out of the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange ftx, prosecutors allege disgraced founder sam bankman-fried used the company to engage in fraud and outright theft for years. new york post calling the accused crypto con man harry plotter on today's front cover. got to love the post. robert wolf is here, former economic adviser to president obama, and erin gibbs, welcome to you. robert, you were discussing behind the scenes you used to run ubs, so you are very

familiar with working with regulators, the regulators yesterday, john and i covered the press conference, stepped up the sdny, they were patting themselves on the back. a case that was handed to them on a platter. they missed this all along. where are we with this? >> one, it was a scam in my opinion for much longer than we knew. this guy is a fraud. i think he's been a fraud for a while. i think erin will talk about the tokens. away from that, i'm not surprised he did not go to congress and he would have pled the fifth. i think the doj -- >> sandra: what do you mean he didn't go, he was arrested so he could not go. i think we have to ask why that was. >> he was never going to actually come and tell the truth. i have listened to three different episodes where he had interviewed -- >> sandra: he should go to jail. >> we agree he should go to jail, it's a scam, i think it will be broader and deeper than we think. i think there's a lot of money

where he hid and extradited to other countries. >> sandra: absolutely terrifying this was allowed to go on this long. we have democrats that were challenging terry duffy who runs the cme group who says i met the guy, he's a fraud and you had democrats like ro khanna challenging him on that. why is that? jonathan turley was on the program yesterday and said it's a very key question, listen. >> this is the first time in my memory that prosecutors rather than defense attorney stopped someone from making self-incriminating statements. this was a windfall opportunity for the prosecutors. he was willing to go forward with hours of rather hostile cross examination on every detail in the case. why wouldn't you want that to happen? that's all admissible. >> sandra: it's boggling. >> it is boggling and unfortunately i think when we are talking about whether it's a scam or defrauding, this is a risk within the cryptoworld.

look, we know a lot of crypto is used for nonlegal purposes, it's a way to bypass using regular currency and banks. and so when you are within this world and particularly creating new tokens off of questionable tokens to begin with, you have to know that you are going into this with a very high risk of it being corrupted or not exactly above board or above books. >> sandra: i don't think it has anything to do with cryptocurrency, crypto markets, this is outright theft, fraud, and one has to ask why he is not behind bars yet. >> one, he should be behind bars. two thshgs is securities fraud, to erin's point, should have on the securities. i think what's going to happen, his partners and enablers, i think we will see issues with the advertising -- >> sandra: you say bigger than 8 billion. this by the numbers, more than $8 billion in customer deposits,

has gone missing, more than 250 million on real estate purchases, more than 40 million in political campaign donations, we can pop it on the screen because you follow the money, ok, and there was massive amounts of money that were getting thrown around. the wall street journal editorial on the crypto crash, old fashioned embezzlement but new blockchain jargon, a story as old as time, thoroughly modern twist in the sbf allegation was to convince investigators to place money into a digital box. your reaction to that. >> you know not that this would happen in lots of industries and has happened in lots of industries. i think crypto -- we have seen similar trading frauds, enron covering up their books. >> sandra: you are talking of assets with heavy regulation and

rules. why is this exempt? >> i think why it's coming apart and he is going to go and be a criminal. he's not exempt from defrauding this many investors. >> sandra: highways parents were at the hearing in the bahamas, his mother was laughing during the proceedings. what is -- what's happening here? they are both ivy league educated parents. they have been sort of part of this story along. >> lawyers who decide to live in the bahamas under house that was bought by ftx money that was taken from people's deposits, you tell me where this is going. >> sandra: maximum 115 years in prison if convicted on all counts against him. did you like the left side, by the way? >> this is my first time on the right side. you know, i can get used to this. >> sandra: you are on my left. >> i could get used to this. >> john. >> john: depends on your

perspective. warning data on tiktok could end up in the hands of chinese's communist party. more than a dozen states are taking action against the app. will we see anything from washington? senator tom cotton of arkansas coming up on that. >> sandra: the twitter files uncovering information, covered up the hunter biden laptop story. why is the mainstream media barely covering this? we will ask gerry baker on the mindset of the "professional" left. >> 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. with the newday 100 loan, there are no upfront costs for appraisal or termite inspections. no upfront costs at all to get the cash you need. veterans get more at newday. this is what real food looks like fresh real meat and veggies.

>> john: twitter files have uncovered a great deal of information about the social media response to the hunter biden laptop story and silencing

of conservative voices. but perhaps not surprisingly, mainstream media consumers are seeing next to no coverage of them. fox news research finding just 17 minutes of coverage on the other news networks combined since those files started being released last friday. gerry baker is the host of the wall street journal at large, he joins us now. not much of a surprise that the mainstream media is, for the most part, gerry, ignoring the story, even ben smith, used to be the media writer at the "new york times," said this. elon musk's selective release has shed light how twitter clamped down on voice it deemed extreme and misleading, mostly on the right and left right, and facebook made front pages for years. why the selective reporting on the part of the mainstream media? >> yeah, thanks, john, the same ben smith, at buzzfeed gave us the steele dossier, so he knows a thing or two, he knows a thing

or two about misinformation and what's a story and what isn't a story. the answer, john, i think is that so much of the media, as you well know, is possessed of a mindset that is -- not only, we think of it as bias, bias towards one side or the other, it's much worse than that. it's possessed of a mindset not only thinks their world view is right, you know, we all have views, we all have opinions, we think our opinions are right. they think any disagreement with that, any evidence or facts or arguments or opinions that take issue with that are illegitimate, dishonest, and actually immoral, and they actually don't want anything that actually challenges their world view even to be seen by people. so it's much more than simply, you know, we are not interested in that story, it does not appeal to us, we think, we disagree with that story or the implications of that story, it's that they actually believe that story itself, and now the story, the second -- the subsidiary

story are illegitimate, it's like a mental pathology on the part of so many on the left who so dominant our media and tech institutions. >> john: you wrote about this in the wall street journal, you said unlike much of the media, ignore or deride it, we should welcome elon musk's exercise in transparency. a fitting statement on the condition of modern journalism that many journalists profess disdain when an in influential company opens up its internal documents publication for journalist. imagine if a conservative organization opened up on its dealings. mainstream media would eat it up. >> john, you've been a journalist a long time. companies, generally speaking, don't open the kimono, they

don't reveal the inner workings, not required to most of the time. most of journalism is finding out what's going on in the important institutions that companies and nongovernment institutions don't want you to know. now they say maybe we did some bad stuff a few years ago and got things wrong, we are going to open the files, let respected journalists come in and detail what happened and publish that stuff. that should be -- whatever your view, exactly as you say, i mean, i'm on the right of many issues. if a conservative-leaning institution did that, i would say yeah, i want to know. my own curiosity would make me say i want to know, i want to report on it, and i want to tell people about it, this company opening itself up in this way. because of this mindset they have, so many in media are like no, no, no, they are dismissing the journalist, calling them names, essentially, deriding

them, saying ther they are mouth pieces of elon musk. arrogance and vanity and refusal to address the possibility that there could be an alternative view to theirs, could have some validity, is incredibly powerful among these people. >> john: and suppression of information always dangerous for democracy, i think this has a lot of legs and maybe as they did with the hunter biden laptop a couple years from now, see the mainstream organizations report on the story. gerry, thank you. >> sandra: new york joining a growing list of states taking on tiktok. assembly mulling a bill that would ban state employees from downloading the app on to their government-issued devices. a dozen other states have already taken similar measures over fears of spying by the chinese government. david lee miller is on it for us. when might this proposed law take effect? >> probably won't happen until

next year, that's when the legislature will meet once again. what's interesting here, is that if new york does pass this legislation, it is going to be the first state with the democratic governor to do so. as of today, at least seven republican states, texas, alabama, nebraska, oklahoma, south carolina and south dakota, and utah, prevent tiktok use on taxpayer-funded phones, tablets and computers. security experts say the app, which is owned by a chinese company, bite dance, collects data from users that could end up being used for nefarious purposes by beijing. here in new york, kevin thomas is sponsoring the legislation. he says security concerns have nothing to do with partisan politics. >> this is not a republican or democrat issue, it's a national security issue. when you have a foreign government such as china that rivals us and they are using data that they collect in order

to manipulate us, this is something that any state government would back. >> thomas is echoing the concerns of other lawmakers, including florida republican senator marco rubio, announced bipartisan legislation to keep tiktok from operating in the u.s. rubio's bill would ban all transactions from any social media company with chinese or russian ties. now, a statement released by tiktok when asked about the proposed ban in new york state reads in part, we are disa pointed so many states are jumping on the band wagon with falsehoods about tiktok. and interesting here in the u.s., over 135 million tiktok users. one of the lawmakers proposing legislation that would ban it calls it, i quote "digital fentanyl." >> sandra: wow, you think about the access to information that that would then give, 135 million users.

david lee miller on that story for us, thank you. john, i imagine a lot of parents all over the country who would wish tiktok would be banned from their children's phones. >> john: as we will talk about with tom cotton, senator from arkansas, it's the perfect trojan horse. addictive to young people as heroin is to drug addicts, and all the time tiktok is mining information and who knows where it's actually going. >> sandra: and giving really easy access to a lot of children in this country with those drugs. >> john: yep. trivial, trivial stuff as well. hey, a shortage of pilots causing widespread delays and frustration for passengers. what one airline is doing to get new pilots into the cockpit and ready for takeoff, and does not involve sleeping at a holiday inn express. >> sandra: plus, it is a story that is shocking. a police officer nearly losing her life after mere exposure to

fentanyl and a tense scene as fellow officer tried to bring her back to life. >> we are not talking enough about this issue across the country. and unfortunately, the education is falling on us bereaved parents, grassroots efforts to get the messaging out.

>> yeah, hey, good afternoon. a really scary situation, police in florida, about 40 miles north of orlando say one of their officers was conducting a routine traffic stop, searching a vehicle when she found and came into contact with a rolled up dollar bill containing fentanyl and it nearly killed her. a quick warning to the viewers, the following images may be disturbing. >> oding. narcan, narcan. >> and so the tavares police department, you can see the officer lying motionless on the ground, struggling to breathe as her fellow officers gives her two doses of narcan, the lifesaving drug that reverses the effect. within moments, she's awake and aware but eventually loses consciousness again, and is given a third dose of narcan before an ambulance finally

arrives and takes the officer to a hospital for treatment. police say banock was wearing gloves but wind may have blown the deadly narcotic into the officer's airways as she was searching the vehicle. the officer is expected to make a full recovery. they are thankful and praise the quick thinking of the other officers on the scene. >> the other officers were not there, there is a very high chance and probability that today would be completely different. and that we would be wearing our thin blue line, you know, straps that go over our badges. >> john, we are told the suspects involved in that police stop are being charged with felonies. as for officer banock, she wanted the video to get out to

it requires a permit to buy any firearm and bans ammunition magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds. some members of law enforcement are worried the restrictions could apply to them. our next guest says she will not enforce the law when it is implemented. joining us now is michelle duncan sheriff of lynn county, oregon. why would you take such issue with the law, those who support it says it's intended to take guns off the streets and out of the hands of criminals. >> we have seen the statistics that most crimes involving guns that criminals, you know, commit, they are not obtaining those firearms legally anyway. second, there is a lot of controversy and some recent rulings in the court, while this measure was going to the ballots, and the supreme court in particular gave very specific

instructions to the ninth circuit which weigh fall under, specifically around the magazine capacity limits, and we are, you know, waiting for them to rehear that case and make a new ruling. with that said, i can't, you know, put handcuffs on someone knowing that there is this, you know, black cloud around the constitutionality of that magazine capacity limit. the permitting will have to do what we can for our citizens to make sure that they can still exercise their second amendment right and we are working on figuring out what that will be now. obviously i'm following all those court rulings very closely when and if i have to do anything. >> sandra: really interesting. so much to it. under the new oregon gun law, gun buyers have to, and this is a list of what we have learned so far, obtain a permit which is a really big deal, because so far we have heard from so many

who believe that there is not even the capacity in your state to handle the number of permits that would come in and process them. there would be a $65 fee, you have to complete approved safety course, submit photo i.d., fingerprinted, criminal background checks, and bans magazines that hold ten or more rounds. which part of this do you take the biggest issue with, sheriff? >> quite frankly, i take issue with all of it. it, you know, it's not good for public safety if i have to pull cops off the street so that we can, you know, issue thousands of permits across just my county alone. no funding, the $65 fee is nowhere going to cover all the things that we have to do and the man power it's going to take for our office to do it. the training has not even been created, and so, you know, in

addition, the way the law reads, at least the way that i looked at it, is our own police officers are not allowed to carry their duty weapons off duty. the>> sandra: and that is what we have been hearing more and more of. that is really -- that's a big deal, and that will be a big deal for so many in your state who fear that this is their second amendment rights being stripped of them. >> yeah. you know, it's by far i think as we have seen across the nation, the most infringing on our second amendment rights, and you know, again with the magazine capacity, i get to choose to some extent where i use my resources and that's just not where i'm going to use them. >> we appreciate you joining us on this, we appreciate your time. we will continue to follow the story and will continue to do so. thank you for coming on. >> thank you for having me.
