one cable morning news show thanks to you, everybody around the world. >> you aren't done yet. listen to the radio for three more hours. the first guest is senator james langford. >> look up. you might see rudolph doing a test run. >> that's the news and now we turn things over to "america's newsroom" here on fox. >> have a good day. >> bill: thanks, guys, great show. good morning. from crisis to catastrophe. the end of title 42 could plunge our border into chaos as if it's not already there. can the white house come up with a solution? it's been two years, right? still waiting. i'm bill hemmer. counting down here. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." >> bill: i like the christmas green. >> dana: you are full of compliments this week after being caught out the other day. >> bill: two more days. >> dana: there is an expiration of the pandemic era policy called title 42.

forcing the white house to finally confront the crisis at the border. the administration is weighing a number of options. no time like the present, right? they reportedly include a five-month asylum ban as well as the expansion of a program letting some migrants apply remotely. >> bill: that clock is ticking. title 42 expires in six days. it will kick the floodgates wide open. >> dana: once that happens the u.s. is expected to see 14,000 migrants cross every single day. that's a strong dose of reality for a white house that has repeatedly refused to even acknowledge there is a problem. >> the border is secure. the border we are working to make the border more secure. that has been a historic challenge. >> the border is secure but we also have a broken immigration system and particularly over the last four years before we came in and it needs to be fixed. >> we'll have 2 million people cross the border. you are confident the border is

secure? >> we have a secure border in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration. >> dana: jacque heinrich is live on the north lawn. i don't understand the headlines saying the white house is scrambling because they've known this is coming for quite a long time. >> the border has been a problem for quite some time and pushing them to address the border and asking where the president is on the border for quite some time and getting answers similar to what you heard there. the new program would allow migrants from nicaragua, cuba, haiti to fly to the u.s. to seek asylum so they don't have to try to illegally cross the border. a state department official is telling fox the biden administration viewed migration as a hemispheric challenge and regional challenge beyond the scope of the united states. we've attempted to work on the

challenges and look forward to continuing to do so. this is the closest we've gotten to hearing any new detail how the administration plans to deal with the coming surge. they haven't announced what system will be in place a week from today when title 42 expires. now even democrat california governor gavin newsom is delivering a tough warning saying the system is not working now and even worse in a post 42 world in his words. that has gotten the attention of some republicans. >> you are on track to double illegal immigration because title 42 will go away. we'll have 14,000 illegal immigrants a day come across our border, about 100,000 a week. that's unsustainable. newsom knows that. how does biden not go to the border after newsom went? >> democrat lawmakers cuellar and manchin have joined some republican colleagues in pushing

the white house to extend the deadline. cuellar says no response. >> i haven't. i don't think senator manchin or cornyn. we haven't heard from them. time is of the essence right now. >> we also heard from democrat senator john tester yesterday he wrote a similar letter to the white house a couple of weeks ago. also heard nothing back. so there are whispers, have been whispers for months that some in the west wing would like to see the department of justice push the deadline because they don't have a clear idea what system will take its place. we haven't heard anything yet. >> dana: keep us posted. >> bill: our next guest repeatedly calling on the white house to strengthen border policy. a republican from southern california young kim. the feds are suing the state of arizona for the containers they

are setting up on what they say is federal land. we'll see where that case goes. you have a bill now where you want to reverse the strategy from a northern strategy to a southern one. explain that. >> sure. i have gone down to the border multiple times in california and texas, and after i spoke with the border patrol agents and those in authority, i found out that our federal government has only 0 border strategy that deals with the southern border. after i came back from the border visits i introduced comprehensive southern border strategy act that will give the department of homeland security to come up with a strategy to have a mile by mile strategy and get our operational control back on the southern border. look, so far the bill has not been even considered on the

house floor or in the committee. so i really hope with the crisis that we're seeing, this, you know, congress before the time runs out, at least they will consider this. but there are multiple options, as you mentioned, the white house is considering. i do hope that one of their considerations will be to reverse the policies that have worked before president biden came into office and extend the title 42. look, even our state of california, governor newsom has visited the border. that tells you everything that you need to know about biden administration. so i really implore president biden and vice president kamala harris to once again i call up on them to go down to the border and see the crisis for themselves. i think that's really critically important. california is a border state and my district is in southern california just a couple of hours from the border. so i see this. i work closely with local law

enforcement who tells me about the alarming statistics of fentanyl they are seizing. in fact, just in the ten months of this year, they have seized over four times higher than all of the fentanyl seizure they have made in the last 2021 alone. this is really alarming statistics. behind that, we have to remember the heartbreaking stories of so many people that we know that have been losing their lives so soon. 17-year-old -- >> dana: i want to make sure you see this video. we see it every day people crossing the border but in your district there is also water rescues. this is some migrants being rescued off the coast of orange county tuesday, the area you represent. it is not just the southern border. the occupants of this situation were 11 mexican citizens and one columbian citizens. president biden's job approval on immigration is dis--

disapproval is 61%. gavin newsom was the first of them, meaning kamala harris, biden or newsom, to visit the border last week. what does he know about this issue and what voters want that the white house seems not to get? >> well first of all, governor newsom going down to the border, i applaud him for doing so. but again, i think he needs to call up on biden administration to do the same. you know, he has got the 2/3 majority in his state legislature in sacramento yet he is blaming other republican governors in other states. he is the one who can also call up on president biden with his ambition to go national, i think he should use the leverage to call up on this white house.

his democratic colleagues in congress to really get behind my legislation. come up with a policy that is working and stop telling us to pass legislation that will add more money to the problem. that's not going to solve the problem. >> bill: we'll see whether or not you can find success here. one thing to add. we're told the majority of fentanyl that comes into america comes by way of vehicle traffic that crosses at san diego and that area south of there. that's right in the heart of southern california. young kim, thank you for your time and sharing your story today. we'll talk again. >> dana: another round of violent weather striking the south. at least one tornado touched down in the new orleans metro area. a first look at the damage in the morning light. you see destroyed homes and businesses. more than 40,000 people had power knocked out. so far thankfully no deaths have been reported. the national weather service says more than 50 tornadoes have been report evidence across the

south since tuesday. >> bill: watch that storm. a couple days now, right? in washington, d.c. there is a major focus on an app called tiktok and house lawmakers going the try to push further after the senate unanimously now approved a bill to ban tiktok on all government devices citing fears that china could use it for espionage and misinformation. growing reaction from the hill. >> good morning. i cannot underline enough how big of a deal yesterday was when the senate unanimously passed that particular bill banning tiktok on government devices. a group of bipartisan lawmakers from both sides want to ban the chinese app because of national security concerns. >> the more we get out there in terms of telling people that the fundamental problem is it is

owned by bytedance controlled by the chinese communist party. we don't want to give that to our primary competitor. >> it would ban all transactions from any social media company run through the u.s. adversaries including china, russia and iran. >> i want to ban tiktok for a simple reason. it is a national security threat but a direct threat to our way of life, economics, allowed them to interfere in mid-term elections. >> what's interesting about all of this is the bipartisanship in this. chairman of the senate intel committee warner agreed that tiktok is a problem. but he says it is not all bad news and he is encouraging the justice department now to instead regulate the app. >> there are a lot of creative things that happen on tiktok. it is not an all-bad platform but there are huge risks. some folks inside justice say we can find a way to allow that

creativity without creating these risks. >> so bill, pay attention to this very closely here. the fact that we have bipartisan discussions going on means something could actually get done. >> bill: aishah hosni on that watching from the hill. thank you. >> dana: house intelligence committee republicans say the origins of covid-19 may be linked to china's biological weapons research program. the newly released report saying this. there are indications that covid-19 may have been tied to china's biological weapons research program and spilled over to the human population during a lap-related incident at the wuhan institute of varology. house republicans launch an investigation over taxpayer money sent to the wuhan lab. james comer said this. >> they have information that would point directly to the research being done in the wuhan lab as being part of china's biological weapons program. now, what's frustrating to me

and mind-boggling to me is the fact that american tax dollars were actually playing a role in that. dr. fauci denied it was even happening for the longest time. >> dana: more information on that and i think as americans, we don't want to sweep under the rug how covid got started. justice for the victims, disprobangs across our country and a world and trying to find out what happened is important. >> bill: will we find an answer or will the world move on? we hope a. unprecedented number of fentanyl deaths. forcing police dramatically revamp that your response. show you how one department is upping the ante on that. >> bill: the fed hiked yet again. rapid fire rate hikes throughout the year, more to come. is a soft landing possible still? good question. >> we've covered a lot of ground

and the full effects of our rapid tightening so far are yet to be felt. even so, we have more work to do. ♪ i got into debt in college and, no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere. so i consolidated it into a low-rate personal loan from sofi. get a personal loan with no fees, low fixed rates, and borrow up to $100k. sofi. get your money right.

>> bill: talking about this a moment ago. fentanyl pouring across the border. in texas now poisoning americans at record numbers. new data from texas that shows deadly overdoses tied to fentanyl spiked 89% in one year. casey stiegel live in dallas to bring us the story from there today. good morning. >> good morning. to help combat that, dallas has the eighth largest police department in the whole country and fentanyl, as you saw, was becoming such a problem here that a special investigative division was formed. now staffed by two detectives who only deal with fentanyl

poisonings or overdoses. more specifically trying to track down and prosecute those responsible for selling the deadly drug. >> 20 to life for killing someone by dealing them fentanyl is -- that's one of the ways we are going to combat this. >> now the dea tells us its agency is also working closely with the u.s. department of justice and u.s. attorneys offices around the country to carry out similar investigations. but officials admit tracing a drug's origin can be difficult and, with so much of it becoming more readily available on the streets, the problem is becoming a much larger public health issue to tackle. especially when you consider about two milligrams is enough to be a fatal dose. an amount so small in sheer quantity you can see enough to kill an adult fits on the end of

a pencil tip. >> the bottom line is, it is coming to neighborhoods in the inner cities just as much as the suburban areas as much as gated communities as in public housing and in apartments versus, you know, rural farms. >> officials believe making the medication narcan widely available is key to helping lower the nation's fatality count but it's primarily about education. special agent chavez said like the campaign years ago when women and people were advised to keep an eye on their drinks while out at bars because of date rape drugs. agents say similar education concept here. >> bill: thanks for that. you might remember this incredible moment we shared this week. tough to watch. a florida cop exposed to fentanyl during a traffic stop. she is on the ground and out. her quick thinking team gave her three doses of narcan.

that officer is courtney banic and will join us with her story coming up next hour. stay tuned for that. >> dana: federal interest rates surging to their highest levels in more than a decade. chairman jerome powell announced the hike yesterday and hinting there is more to come. maria bartiromo will be here with us. did you -- how do you think they're doing at the fed in terms of what their goal is to try to get inflation back down to 2%? yesterday 7.1. >> a big goal to go to 2% but sticking to their guns in terms of them continuing to raise interests rates. yesterday powell told us it will continue. what we heard from the chairman of the federal reserve yesterday was interest rates will stay higher for longer. a rally in the stock market on this expectation they are close to an end. they are not close to an end and they'll take it as far as they need to take it to make sure to stamp out inflation. one of the big issues is the

labor market. very tight. wages elevated and that's what he is most focused on. today one of the worst reports we've seen so far, economic reports. retail sales number for the month of november. it was actually done six tenths of a percent and doesn't bode well with the holiday season. >> bill: the feed wants to do this. to slow things down. do you give them a grade yet or can you? >> i can't yet. i have to see where we go in 2023. a lot of expectations we'll see a recession in the next year. we're beginning to see what is under the hood now with the retail sales report. we haven't really seen the extent of the weakness in the economy. housing, autos, these are the very sensitive areas to higher interest rates. the other areas have not been affected as much. so this morning's retail sales report gives us a better glimmer

into what is to come. by the way, the cpi number was out earlier this week and it was better than expected. the one area that is not really budging much is food. so yeah, we've seen oil come down, we've seen used cars reverse. we've seen the housing market take a hit. food prices remain incredibly elevated. a tough nut to crack because you have things like eggs, even worse than they were last month up 48% year-over-year. food is a problem. it remains elevated. >> dana: i have a friend that has a deli franchise. the cost of lettuce is astronomical. he said you can't keep passing all of those costs onto consumers, it will break the system. new fox polling. let's call for number three. still the economy is the most important issue facing people by a long way, 42%. president biden's numbers approval on the economy are still very bad. you look at this poll, call for number three -- four, that one.

which is 46% of people say biden's policies have hurt. so as we find out today that dr. jill biden is all in on him running for re-election again, can they do this if people think that economy most important issue but blame him for the biden policy? what does he do? >> i don't see him happening him running again. i don't expect it because of the policies that he has been pushing and the impact. and also just his capacity. so i will believe it when i see it. at this point americans are feeling the pain. a lot of those people say they are facing economic hardship because of what we are just talking about. inflation will cut into wages, has been cutting into wages and there is also an issue about 2023 and what it looks like for manufacturing. corporations, we look at a profits recession. i would expect the democrats,

there is an ad don't run joe. i would expect that the democrats see this and try to have an alternative but who? >> bill: cnn reporting is joe biden is warming up to the idea. we'll know early in the year. one in four americans think the economy will get better in the next year. 1 of 4. strong head winds. he said the other day they won't know until the end of 2023 whether or not the prices will truly come down around that time. >> that's right. what we're going to see and already seen a slowing in the economy. we'll start seeing it in unemployment numbers. the tight labor market has been masking what is under the hood. retail sales number out today worse than expected. the new york federal reserve number and the philly fed numbers. these are indications of manufacturing. manufacturing has weakened as well. >> bill: you are saying the layoffs are coming next. >> yes, many people expect the second half of next year to start showing improvement. the first half is expected to be

very weak. >> bill: we'll bring you back with better news. the market will go south today. america's crime wave sweeping across the country. what's behind the breakdown-in-law and order? leo terrell has answers and coming up live. the violence not just targeting private citizens. two cops shot and killed in the line of duty. where this happened coming up. d. trust safelite. this couple was headed to the farmers market... when they got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ 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.

>> bill: law enforcement, two mississippi police officers shot and killed in a motel parking lot responding to a welfare check. jonathan serrie is in atlanta with more from there. hello. >> the two officers were speaking with a woman. they spoke with her for nearly half an hour before she allegedly attacked them in the parking lot of a motel six in the small town of bay st. louis on the mississippi coast. two officers conducting the

welfare checked were speaking with 43-year-old amy anderson as she sat in a parked s.u.v. with a young girl. according to police the officers called for child protective services. gunfire erupted killing one officer at the scene and another died at the hospital. first responders found the woman dead from what was believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. residents of this small town are in shock. >> any time of the year they are no more tighter than what you're coming on right now with christmas. for this, you know, three people lost their lives that won't be celebrating christmas. that has to be heartbreaking for the family. >> base st. louis police identified the fallen officers as sergeant steven robin and officers brandon. the department posted on social media the tragic loss is a sad day for the bay st. louis community and law enforcement. governor tait reeves tweeted every day across mississippi our law enforcement members place their lives on the line in

constant and repeated acts of selfless sacrifice for their community. they're a key reason that the rest of us are safely and freely able to live our lives. they are the thin blue line. police say they will release further details on this incident at a news conference this morning. that is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. central time. >> bill: tough to hear. jonathan serrie in atlanta. >> dana: deadly violence targeting law enforcement in mississippi spotlighting a search for answers on why exactly crime is soaring across the u.s., especially in major democrat-led cities? let's bring in fox news contributor leo terrell. civil rights attorney and former teacher. i think that's an important part of your experience because you look at this not just from a criminal angle, but also from the social logical one. what is the breakdown of more

all values and rising crime? do you see a connection? >> bad behavior is being tolerated. dana, every government, every school district has police power to protect, health, safety and morals. there has been a moral breakdown. criminality sec allowed and the focus is off the victim and basically bad behavior is being rewarded and why you have criminal conduct, serial conduct every day going on and on. these criminals realize there is no punishment. bad behavior is not discouraged. what you don't have in schools, you don't have a teaching of moral ethics. what is right, what is wrong. there is victimization, indoctrination but moral conduct, good conduct is not being taught. i see that as a teacher and i see that as a lawyer. >> dana: but what about the home? >> no question about it. parental -- it starts from the home, dana. this is why the only way to

correct what is going on in the schools and out in the streets is parental involvement. it has to start at home. good conduct, good behavior. the question here is it has to be reinforced in school. it has to be reinforced in the application of the law. and it is not being reinforced. it is not being reinforced in school or reinforced with the criminal justice system. if parents don't do their job it makes it impossible for schools and criminal justice system to do their job as well. >> dana: if there are not consequences that's a problem. new fox news poll. it is a breakdown in moral values. veilability of guns was the second one there at 17%. this was interesting. maybe because we're getting more experienced with it and talking about it more. weaker criminal penalties. that comes in now as number three. perhaps that's progress at least leo in getting people to understand there is a

correlation there. >> absolutely. the problem is simply this. in these democratic cities there has been a shift of -- away from the victim and focuses on the criminal. without understanding that some of these criminals are enjoying life on the street. enjoying the repeated behavior. the videos you show now, these are repeat offenders. police departments are helpless, there is a lack of support from the district attorneys in these democratic cities. >> dana: also this. i want to take you to a specific having to deal with the f.b.i. loudon county superintendent that is out in virginia and merrick garland the attorney general. "wall street journal" about this story saying loudon county pages merrick garland saying that it should not have taken the election of a new governor, meaning youngkin, an executive order for parents to get the real story of what happened to make public schools accountable.

mr. garland hasn't rescinded his memo. the loudon county superintendent was just indicted on three miss demeanor counts. this all goes back to when the parents were angry at that school board meeting for what happened in the bathroom to a child. >> thank you for asking that question. merrick garland owes every parent, conservative parent and apology. he used that concerned parent, whose daughter was victimized in the bathroom as the poster boy and basis for calling parents domestic terrorists. now a grand jury has indicted the school officials for their failure to act appropriately. garland owes the american families an apology. but don't expect it because when they are caught being wrong, this administration, like the border patrol whipping migrant and there is a secure border, they won't apologize.

merrick garland has not found a single shred of evidence to call any parent a domestic terrorist. >> dana: thank you for always bringing the fire and importance on the first topic there, the breakdown of moral values and what we all need to do about that at home, school and also for criminal penalties. leo terrell, thank you. >> thank you, dana. >> bill: in a moment border patrol sounding the alarm over migrant crossings and drug smuggling. it just keeps on going. title 42 expires in only six days. bill melugin reporting on a stunning meth bust that shows how cartels are finding any means possible to funnel drugs into the country. crypto currency. lawmakers demand to know what led to the collapse of ftx. to e people everywhere,

>> dana: bipartisan bill in the senate aims to -- lawmakers are pressing for answers about the sudden collapse of ftx and the criminal charges against sam bankman-fried. susan lee is here with more. no time like the present to look into this, right, susan? >> absolutely, dana. after one of the largest corporate bankruptcies in u.s. history, consensus seems to be building in washington, d.c. for more crypto regulation and we do have a new bipartisan bill being proposed by senator liz warren and republican senator robert marshall. the new bill puts common sense rules if place to help close crypto money laundering loopholes and protect our national security and arguing it is suspect to organizations and individuals that largely use crypto. >> crypto has become the

preferred tool for terrorists, for ransomware gangs and drug dealers and for rogue states that want to launder money. >> also testifying in front of the senate banking committee yesterday in that ftx hearing was kevin owe leery. >> currencies have been used for -- the american dollar is also used by bad actors all the time. >> that exchange is making its rounds across social media. now in reality there is really little chance that this bill will pass in the final weeks of the current congress. a lame duck session but here is breaking news on ftx. we know who the insider whistleblower is with newly released documents suggesting the whistleblower was a top ftx executive. the ceo of one of the

subsidiaries but ftx digital. he noticed irregular transfers to alameda. >> bill: want to bring in natalie, host of the coin stories podcast. i thought this hearing was fascinating. the topics they were talking about. warren is hot on the trail of this. play the exchange with warren and o'leary we had from yesterday. >> should the same rules against money laundering apply to crypto in the way that they apply to banks, to stock brokers, to credit card companies, to western union? i think your answer to that was yes, is that right? >> no, it's not yes, 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. >> bill: there is a lot there. usdc is a u.s. digital coin.

? >> thank you for having me. i think we all know by now you can do a lot of harm with this supposedly good intention of trying to protect people. we have to be careful. what happened with ftx is essentially what can happen when you mix human greed with frankly incompetence mixed with a blank check in a space that's full of these unregistered owe poke tokens the equivalent of counterfeit money. it is unethical to create a digital security, manipulate the price, dump it on the public. take money, lever it up at 100 x and go on a joy ride of spending on political donations and real estate and what have you. at the end of the day this is really about the ethics of an individual as well as the space. i do what i do because bitcoin is ethical money and it is a commodity controlled by no one. everyone would benefit from

regulatory security. how to register and what are the risks? it's what happens when someone purse a stock. when people try to commit fraud lock them up. when regulation comes we need to make sure the people writing these laws like warren can't offend people's freedom. bitcoiners are sounding the alarm on this bill. we have to remember what separates america from thor tanian regimes like china and russia is that defining value of individual sovereignty and freedom. we have the right to ethical money and need bad actors to be held accountable. >> bill: iran came into this discussion, north korea did as well. you mentioned the politics. this 30-year-old wonder kid, right? gave $40 million to democratic candidates. we don't know how much money he gave to republicans. he might be in new york maybe in a month, couple weeks. southern district of new york is the one who filed charges. they talk about dirty money involved. listen to this.

>> all of this dirty money was used in service of bankman-fried's desire to buy bipartisan influence and impact the direction of public policy in washington. >> bill: that money is gone and spent. the election is over. we don't know whether or not those funds can be repaid at all. but you raise the trap door about political influence in trying to buy it with dirty money, natalie. >> that's right. ethics are not partisan. this goes back to ethics. the right thing to do and the thing that is selfish and greedy when you are ashamed that you trusted a bad person. if i gave you money and you found out that money is stolen the right thing to do is turn it in and hopefully it is returned to the person that i stole it from, right? so president biden especially needs to lead by example here. biden appoints the person that leads the department of justice. so i think that any donated money needs to be returned and it can't go to, you know,

organizations that the political parties now choose. they probably have cozy relationships with these organizations. the money needs to go back to the bankrupty trust. they trusted the wrong person and now do what is right. >> bill: your podcast is available now coin stories. >> dana: details on the origins of covid. republicans saying it could be tied to china's biological weapons program. we'll hear from a member of that panel coming right up. when they got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪
