from the grave said they are still good friends. they were good friends. >> steve: so they are together then? good friends. >> brian: there you go. i think there was probably a rivalry there. >> steve: tony bennett by the way is still alive. you said they were in heaven together. >> brian: that's even better news. >> steve: they are legends together. >> ainsley: going well. >> brian: absolutely. talk about something controversial like ftx. >> steve: nobody understands. >> brian: you probably do steve. i know i don't. i know scandal and this has got it all over it. this crypto creep is now in jail. evidently one of the worst jails around. full of maggots and pestilence and all horrible things. >> steve: it's in the bahamas. how bad could it be? >> ainsley: is he worried about vegan diet and add. >> brian: should not have to go prison if you have add even if you steal billions from people. i have been all over this before. people are talking about his parents and their possible role in this. also, his girlfriend, ex-girlfriend now, obviously going through rough times.

caroline ellison in new york city, the word is, she has flipped and telling stories about alameda, ftx's sister hedge fund and the billion dollars that he gave without even finding out if it had any money to back it up. >> ainsley: co-ceo ryan salemi. he funneled customers talking about sam bankman-fried funneled the customer's money into his girlfriend's hedge fund just days before the company crashed. >> steve: right. exactly. so one of the top guys called the cops and said hey, what we're doing is completely illegal. keep in mind, this guy is the number two donator to democrats behind george soros. of course, he was supposed to appear via zoom in a senate financial services committee hearing a couple of days ago. but, because oddly, the day before he was supposed to testify, the biden

administration department of justice swept him up and he was indicted by the sec. well, yesterday, they had a hearing up on capitol hill on the senate side and elizabeth warren who has railed against crypto currencies for a long time, had on the hot seat kevin o'leary who has been an endorser of ftx. >> ainsley: the guy from shark tank. >> steve: shark tank is how everybody knows him. she asked him very pointedly, hey, one of the problems with crypto is it did can be used for money laundering, right? well, he didn't want to admit to that, and here's the exchange. >> if banks and western union said they shouldn't have to follow any money laundering rules, so that they could make more money, they could improve their profitability, what would our country say and what does every country around the world in the financial system say? >> i take issue, senator, with your concept that it makes it easier to do money laundering. currencies have been used for

drug trafficking since the 1960s and the american dollar when it was thrown out of a piper aircraft in a duffle bag. the american dollar is also used by bad actors all the time. i'm just saying if you know your client rules on both sides of the transaction and use a crypto, such as usdc, that is regulated, you solve this problem, senator, overnight. >> brian: don't kill crypto, kill this guy. he went into detail. i got $15 million in services. 3 million extra to pay for taxes. i got 1 million in ftx equity tilt worthless. 10 million in tokens which is now worthless and now all of a sudden the equity doesn't add up e also called back into the bahamas and talked to this guy. senator pat toomey is somebody just as smart as anybody there. he does this thing called asking questions. he asked them, kevin, what do you think happened? ened he goes i will tell you exactly what happened. i talked to him right after and he said my stuff froze and i don't know what happened to the money. go back 24 months, what did you

do? then he told everybody in the senate hearing what they did. and people actually gained from it instead of grandstanding like senator elizabeth warren. >> ainsley: the co-ceo ryan salemi there were only three people in the company could have pulled that money and transferred it to this alameda hedge fund three people sam and the co-founder and an engineer. that same guy, the co-ceo was praising sam bankman-fried on twitter back in august. he was saying it's an absolute honor working for this man. one of the most caring, humble, genuine people i have ever met. maybe he didn't know what was going on at that point. >> brian: right. deceptive. >> steve: the rap against crypto -- there are a lot of people in the deep web and elsewhere who use crypto to pay for stuff. drugs, all sorts of bad stuff. it's completely for the most part unregulated and people make a lot of money and they don't pay taxes on it. that is why elizabeth warren

would like to see it regulated. and kevin o'leary himself did say earlier that it should be crypto currency should be regulated. ben mackenzie who is an actor you probably recognize from the o.c. a lot of people don't realize he also has an economics degree. and he has been trying to -- he has been working with a journalist to expose these celebrities who go out and who have endorsed crypto currencies. and he essentially accuses them of shilling for these companies which he says are a gigantic scandal and scam. here he is yesterday in the senate. >> in my opinion, the crypto currency industry represents the largest ponzi scheme in history. in fact, by the time the dust settles, crypto may well represent a fraud, at least 10 times bigger than madoff. the fact that he has roped in

tens of millions of americans from all walks of life, as well as hundreds of millions of people worldwide, should be of concern to us all. >> steve: so many people invested in crypto when it was -- in its infancy trying to get that skyrocketing, you know, profits. and now they are holding worthless currency numbers that don't activate cash anymore. people are like i thought it was okay. >> brian: according to ftx 1.2 million retailers, aka, regular folks and 5 million worldwide have lost access to the money that they put to ftx. not just rich people like kevin o'leary wondering what happened to this investment or tom brady wondering what's going to happen with the class action suit. it's everyday people. >> ainsley: regular people. >> brian: that's going to force these politicians to give back that money. when you see regular people say i lost everything so you could have some more campaign ads to

win wink, or whatever you were trying to do, that's going to be -- that's going to be political dynamite. >> steve: what they will do is wind up giving that equal amount of money to a charity and then they can declare it a tax write off. >> ainsley: right. yeah. >> steve: silver lining. >> ainsley: think about the little guy invested in this who did lose money. average every day american trying to invest and make some money. we have 10 days until christmas, and americans, according to this fox news poll are really down now about the economy. the feds are raising the interest rates. they are saying that -- they are signaling there could be more increases down the road. >> steve: they will. >> ainsley: when asked how do you feel about the condition of our economy? 19%, only 19 percent said excellent or good. 81 percent said fair or poor. >> brian: it's even worse than last year when 23 percent said excellent and 76 percent said fair and poor. keep in mind we are getting hit by omicron at that time and people were down about what was

going on in the holidays. keep in mind, too. this is fresh off the midterm elections. you would think these numbers would be death to a party in power but it wasn't. this is another fox news poll question has inflation caused you financial hardship over the last six months? 74 percent said yes. 25 percent said no. also just about everybody says it is effects christmas shopping 4 in 10 christmas shopping this year. people aren't feeling optimistic. >> ainsley: real estate is not moving. you are right. if you talk to any real estate agent right now, they are saying the real estate market is not moving. >> steve: if you are going to buy a mortgage. you absolutely cannot. because, yesterday, the federal reserve upped the rate, you know, in the past it's been three quarters of a point. yesterday it was half a point. now their target fund rate is between 4.25 and 450. which is the highest since 2007. it's like if you -- you know a year ago, if you tried to buy a house, and you wanted your mortgage payment to be about 2500 bucks, you could get a

house about $600,000 in costs. now, for that same payment, you can get something in the 300s. >> ainsley: half of it. >> steve: wind up with half a house. they expect the interest rates to continue to go up in the coming year until they bring inflation down. but, here's the problem. this is what everybody is worried about. that is will the interest rates kill jobs? and they said yesterday, yes, they will. they are forecasting that a year from now, the unemployment rate will be about 1% higher than it is. so, so many people are going to lose their jobs when we know for a fact that if joe biden simply increased domestic oil production, it would drop the rate of inflation all across the country and people would save money, but he doesn't want to do it because he wants people to drive electric cars. >> brian: so joe piscopo just wrote me a frank sinatra aficionado. he has his own morning show.

investigated them. in shock that you would actually stab a grandmother dead in her own garage to take her suv. really? i mean, this lady, to call her grandma is not fair to ellen and her family. she was very articulate, educated, elegant lady who literally spent her life doing good works. helping raise her grandchildren, and i think about her coming out and finding him stealing her car and, instead of running or just taking the car and leaving, he stabs the grandma dead and leaves her to bleed out. and the mayor, god bless him, is congratulating, patting everybody on the back that they caught the perp. the problem is the crime, the murder, that's the problem. this guy, career criminal. just before he murdered m

ms. bolsonaro. ms. bowls. he tried to rob a liquor store. why wasn't he behind bars he already had aggravated felony assault case. >> ainsley: i know you have investigated this case. have you talked to people in the community? what are they saying? >> yes, i have. listen, this is three inches up the governor's tail pipe. right down the street from the governor's mansion. everyone is in shock. hey, everybody is always in shock when the murder happens right under their noses. this was a gated community. you are hearing a lot of people say oh my stars, it was a gated community like crime can't get through a gate. well, it did, and a security guard, too. he went in by foot. >> ainsley: let's talk about idaho, too. because we are fascinated by this case and we want it to find out who did this to those four college students. the car drove past the gas station the person worked at the

gas station going through video for hours and hours around that's what they came up with the picture on the screen. here is what the police is saying the case is not cold. listen to. this the investigation is not cold. we get tips every day that are viable. those tips help us do everything from clear people who maybe there was some speculation about to further some of the theories that we're working on. eventually we are going to narrow in on exactly what happened and who did it. >> ainsley: how helpful is it to have that picture of the car? >> it is extremely helpful. here are some examples. timothy mcveigh was caught because he didn't have the tag on the back of his car. scott peterson was caught in the marine at the 4 by 4 he used to haul lacy's body. it goes on and on. triple homicide was just solved in riverside, california because the neighbor happened to spot a red kia sol. the key to this case, i believe at this juncture, is that white

elantra. >> it's amazing to me that it took a gas attendant to find the video. one last thing. we have spotted a cinder block up under one of the windows at the murder scene and were wondering if that had been used to look in the window or even get in. >> ainsley: if you look at the map, this gas station is fairly close to where the college students live. you are right. should police be going to every business? why haven't they done that already, go every business and check to see if they have any video, especially a gas station? >> absolutely. it's 1.2 miles from the murder house. and it gives me the trajectory path of the car. i believe they need to be looking along that path because very often a perp will throw the weapon unwittingly out the window of the car to get it out of the car. that's very critical in this case. >> ainsley: yeah. they can trace that whole rout back to the gas station and see if they can find a weapon.

i wonder if that video was taken before or after the murder. they said they were murdered between 43:00 and 4:00. >> we are thinking right after and it was speeding. >> ainsley: thank you, nancy. >> thank you. >> ainsley: remember, to catch new episodes of "crime stories" on fox nation. coming up, congress is taking on tiktok and new bill that restricts usage. congressman mike gallagher calls the app. digital fentanyl and he is next. ♪ ployees through the pandemic, getrefunds.com can see if it may qualify for a payroll tax refund of up to $26,000 per employee. all it takes is eight minutes to get started. then work with professionals to assist your business with its forms and submit the application. go to getrefunds.com to learn more. y

furthermore, it's going to be hard for the democratic senators who are now on record recognizing tiktok as a national security threat to not support a more broad of tiktok nationally. it is time that we do something to stop tiktok from becoming the most powerful media company in america fundamental problem tiktok is observed by bytedance and it's controlled by the chinese communist party. that's why brendon carr has called it digital fentanyl. highly addictive and ultimately trace it back to the ccp. >> brian: i remember about a month ago "60 minutes" after 11:00 basically shuts down in china and mostly tiktok is educational and here it's trying to dumb us down or smooth our brains. here is what tiktok said to you in the proposed ban. some members of congress have decided to push for a politically motivated ban that will do nothing to advance the national security of the united states. your reaction? >> it's not politically motivated.

it's vote vacated by national security. it's motivated by protecting this country from the aggression ever the chinese communist party. see, the issue is not just that the ccp, be it bytedance or tiktok can track your location, track your key strokes, compile a dossier and hoovering uptons of date from united states and all over the world while they don't afford the same data reciprocity. young americans get their news from tiktok which will allow tiktok to censor news according to dictates of the chinese communist party. that is incredibly damaging. that's a way in which they can propagandize young americans. we can't allow that to happen. the motivation is nothing more than trying to protect this country from the ccp. >> brian: got to worry about social media companies with left wing bias and now worry about other country twris anti-american bias. and they try to get to the main issues that separate america and polarize this nation and try to push it guard as senator rubio

brought up yesterday, they were pushing elements that were saying don't vote. so trying to suppress the vote. what party does that help? what about racial tension to try to inflame that in america that works to our enemy's advantage. i wouldn't doubt that began in 2016. here's a map of some of the other states that said we are banning it. i know new york is considering it. not on the list yet. alabama, idaho, oklahoma texas south carolina, south dakota, utah. 9 other issue, obviously, this is auto small step, congressman, because you still have your private devices tom cotton said yesterday even if you delete the app. you might have to get a new phone because it might still be able to track you. >> tom is very smart and understands national security about as well as anybody. start with getting the apps off the phone and banning tiktok and then we can figure out how we sanitize our devices there another thing going on brian behind the scenes on capitol hill had which is pretty disgusting. they have hired a lo lobbyists o

they went ahead and got the group he was with on the day they witnessed a pretty big round of illegal male adults nearby the area. they sat down all the children and spoke to them directly hey, just to let you all know it's not safe for y'all to be coming down here to the local neighborhood park anymore by yourselves. as a matter of fact, not even as in pairs. whenever you decide to come back again, make sure that you all come in big groups because it's no longer safe for y'all to be coming here alone y'all witnessed what happened right now we strongly suggest don't come here anymore by yourself. >> steve: unbelievable. >> pretty sad situation. especially in our situation, because this child that i have, like you mentioned earlier, he is 14 years old. he is the type of child that is very athletic. is he into all sorts of sports. you name it. gym, soccer, basketball. he is pretty good at it. he got that from his dad.

he was used to that he would go to the local park pretty much a couple of times a week to go ahead and practice and what have you. so this took a big hit on us. because now we have to go ahead and take them across town, go to his practices when he could have just walked over a couple of blocks. it's sad because he saw the people that they were young. they were males, and in big groups and in their prime because he him self said it, mom, they are not like us. they are not overweight and obese. they are in their prime and thick he saw how they were running fast and jumping fences and what have you. >> steve: that area that your son wanted to play in just too dangerous. stephanie, i know you were born and raised in texas. and on your ranch you have got some fencing. but that's not stopping the migrants. and it's costing you a lot of time and money because they cut your fence a couple of times a week. and how much does it cost to fix that? and who is paying for that? >> it's costing us a lot of

money, in the thousands, currently, and counting. and we're the ones to pay for it. >> steve: absolutely. so, when you complain to law enforcement, what do they do? >> nothing. and currently, in august, the powers that be took our border patrol agents that were here in our county and they sent them to the border for processing. so we don't even have border patrol agents here anymore. >> steve: they put the border patrol agents. they moved them out of lasalle county downtown border to process people. so, stephanie, when you have a problem on your land and you pick up the phone to complain, you know nobody is going to come. >> correct. that is correct. >> steve: heart breaking. now, brit, i know you are a third generation rancher on the border. i'm sure you have had the same problems. one of the things you told one of our producers yesterday was the fact that this has become

such a big problem with migrants being chased by texas authorities and whatnot, there are a lot of high-speed chases. so the police in your town have put military borders around the schools so that if there's high-speed chase, these guys don't crash into the school building. as a parent, that's got to just horrify you. >> yeah. it does. and, you know, the people of texas and our community in kinney county, we have had to take measures like this to protect the children on campus. and texans across the board, i believe, feel abandoned by the federal government. we realize there is two people that can fix this situation either joe biden or greg abbott. texans, i believe, are praying every day that abbott, you know, stops this nightmare and secures the border. >> steve: sure. and, just like rosa and stephanie, your property is vandalized every week by the migrants. there are thousands of migrants coming in. and your houses, your ranches
