griff: new twitter files showing possible coordination between the social media giant and the fbi according to writer matt taibbi, more than 150 emails exchanged by twitter and fbi between january 2020 and last month. welcome to fox news live i'm griff jenkins, hey, aishah. >> a spokesperson for the fbi

said they regularly engaged with private entities. alexandria hoff is tracking it off. what do we know about the twitter relationship? >> we know it started long ago. takeny described in the wake of investigation, formed task force and swelled to 80 agents which corresponded with twitter agents including takeny and the fbi would pass along lists of preflagged accounts that may warrant possible action and according to statement by the fbi the company was under no obligation to act. it reads, quote, the fbi regularly engages with private-sector entities to provide information specific to identify to foreign aligned influence actors subversive and

declared covert criminal activities, private sector entities independently make decision what if any action they take on their platforms and for their customers after the fbi has notified them. some are aggravated from public hotlines and not clear if fbi and dhs were looking to tweets in-house within the agencies or relying on tips, maybe third party. release of twitter documents began two weeks ago and yesterday elon musk signaled this may be the last round at least for now, griff, aishah. griff: we want to take you to the border, you can see a group there is being apprehended. they call it a migrant encounter now. migrants continue to stream over in record numbers with the end of the trump administration's border policy title 42 just days

away. we have fox team coverage of the crisis with lucas tomlinson live at the white house but let's begin with bill melugin on the ground there in eagle pass. bill: hey, griff, we all remember when the border crisis started almost two years ago and the white house said it was seasonal, the sort of thing that that it would slow down when i got too hot or too hold. december 2022, chilly temperatures and the record numbers just continue. take a look at video our team shot earlier this morning just after sunrise, large group of migrants crossed illegally. it's very control in the morning. agents had to give them space blankets in an effort to keep them warm. we are very rarely seeing little kids or family units anymore like we were seeing last year. a lot of people from cuba, colombia and nicaragua in the del rio sector. we had another group before the sun came up this morning.

take a look at second piece of video. bigger group of 280 that crossed illegally before sunrise. the del rio sector, m, 18,000 illegal crossings, the numbers up 55% of the same time last year and we will take you to arizona, fentanyl bust. take a look at photo, nogales port of entry, cbp officers seized 230,000 fentanyl pills, 62 pounds of meth and 13 pounds of cocaine and 3 separate drug smuggling busts. that single port of entry in nogales has seized almost 2 million fentanyl pills. we will finish you in yuma, arizona. take a look at these images. border patrol on patrol in open desert east of yuma finding two

abandoned backpacks, 90 pounds of meth with street value of $150,000 obviously that had been abandoned by suspected drug smugglers trying to backpack the stuff into the united states. back here live the white house told fox news last night that if title 42 does drop on wednesday, it doesn't mean the border is going to be open. they said anybody who claims the border is open is pushing misinformation and is actually doing the work of smugglers, griff. we will send it back to you. griff: you know, bill, that rubs me the wrong way because as someone like yourself who has spent a lot of the past years at the border, let me hold up half a dozen cartel bracelets with digital four code numbers on there, the codes and the colors designating the stage of payments the cartels. it strikes me that that comes from the white house in the very people who have yet to visit in person that have not yet seen

it. great reporting. aishah. aishah: white house losing profile, liberal states are calling attention to the same crisis at the border even as the white house remains silent on the details of their plans of what they're going to do after title 42 expires on wednesday. so lucas tomlinson is live at the white house right now with the latest on this administration's response, lucas. >> well, if anybody wanted title 42 to be extended they were extended a blow, limited migrants from coming to the united states. the white house responding to the ruling late last night in a statement saying, quote, to be clear, the lifting of the title 42 public health order does not mean the border is open. we will continue to work expand

legal pathways to migration discouraging disorderly and unsafe migration. the administration said they were prepared for tend of title 42, they said they want help from capitol hill. >> but, look, we also need congress to act. it is important that they deliver the resources we requested for the border security and management. they need to pass the comprehensive immigration reform that we have put forth. >> some republicans are not buying that argument. >> this is the biden administration delusional ideology, if they sent more resources which means cash or more people to the border, it's not to close our border, it's not to tell the migrants to go home and to apply for entry into our country at their embassies as laws require, it's simply to process them through the border more quickly. >> title 42 is not extended some estimate the number of migrants showing up to the southern border and coming into the

country will more than double. aishah. >> we will wait and watch. lucas tomlinson, thank you so much. griff: well, for more on this crisis at the southern border let's go right to our guest former acting ice director and currently a fox news contributor tom homan. tom, you may have seen when i was talking with bill melugini held up the half a dozen bracelets. bill and i have been there numerous times and covered it and seen the stranglehold that the cartel has and with title 42 lifting in just four dais it appears that christmas is coming early to the cartels. >> yeah, i said it no one celebrated more the election than the criminal cartels in mexico. they knew they were going to be back in business. and what's sad the white house continues to deny there's a crisis at the border and blame us for speaking out about it.

the criminal cartels are mexico control our border. they have operational control of our border. they are the most powerful nation in the world and we don't control our southern border. and secretary mayorkas has taken zero action. i just watched what senator cotton said, he's right. they don't need to millions of dollars, process people. it's a policy issue. the trump administration proved it. when the end of title 42, what can they do, they can re-implement the remain in mexico program todd: like the trump administration did and the data show it clearly worked ahead of significant impact on the border but they are not going to do it because they don't want to slow the numbers down. they want an open border. they have proven that. griff: the white house spokesperson bill hassán said lifting of title 42 does not mean border is open and anyone

suggesting otherwise is spreading misinformation. you said that the border is not open, your reaction to that? >> well, the evidence proves. bell melugin and you yourself. record numbers of illegal administration with joe biden, 1.7 million. that was a record, historic number. we beat that by 2.4 million and this year is bigger than that. in el paso within ten days, recent ten days in el paso over 25,000 apprehensions and 10,000 got aways. that's just el paso. so in a month, el paso is going to have 30,000 got aways, that should scare the hell out of everybody. let me tell you what they are going to do, they will send more ngo's to mexico and process more migrants in mexico and pushing to port of entry, piece of paper they made legal claim for asylum and secretary mayorkas says

illegal immigration is down and they just legalized it in mexico and come to port of entry. this is what the administration is done. smoking mirrors, they haven't done a damn thing. it's all about processing quicker, releasing quicker. griff: is that the actual plan because i've been searching high and low for what the plan is in four days when this crisis is literally lit on fire beyond what we've already seen. >> look, they've already started, they've already started processing people in mexico and doing all the paperwork down there. you know what shocks me the ngo's have access to cbp databases. law enforcement databases, that's never happened in the history of federal law enforcement. so, yes, i think they are going to expand that program so they can say the border numbers are down, however, they are just -- it's a mix, they are going to process in mexico and transfer to port of entry legally and the data clearly shows that nobody is talking about this. nearly 9 out of 10 people that claim asylum never get released

by u.s. government if they don't qualify. i'm sick and tired of saying they are asylum seekers. if you want to title them asylum seekers but know 9 out of 10 don't qualify. they will be ordered and removed by immigration judge and dhs report says only 6% would leave, why is that because they are not detaining them. they know if they don't detain them, even if they lose their case, they are not going to leave. that is the overall plan of this administration. and it's disgusting. griff: tom, you said that the lifting of title 42 should the scare the hell out of a lot of people but can you take me inside the mindset and emotions of the border patrol agents that are exhausted and that have been overwhelmed for the last two years, take me inside their mindset and emotions right now. >> the border patrol -- they feel they have been abandon bid the commander in chief. they feel that they have been abandoned by mayorkas. he was down the other day. i heard by border patrol agents

in the meeting. why do you claim the border is secure, you know what we are dealing and the secretary made a statement, i haven't claimed the border is secured. he's telling men and women who put their lives on the line who watch them on tv saying the border is not secure. he has no respect for the men and women in the border patrol. i was down in county and met with border patrol agents. the only advice i can give them is hang on tight, hang on because in two years the right guy gets back in the white house and you're going back to the job that you're supposed to do is secure the bored and protect this nation and processing and changing diapers and making formula, you'll be on the border stopping drug smuggling, stopping known terrorists coming the border. we hope we take the white house like president trump had done and he's proven with policies, not a lot of money, just policies, we can make a difference. griff: tall order to hang on

because we have never seen numbers like this. tom homan great to get your insight, have a merry christmas. >> merry christmas, griff. aishah: not just big tech, twitter files for more on the latest installment of the files let's bring in political panel joining us today deputy chief of staff for then illinois congressman john and republican strategist greta and finance team somebody for hillary clinton campaign al mattor. thank you for joining us. i can't believe it's almost here. greta, i want to ask you, obviously elon musk has unveiled a lot that republican wills use in the new session to launch their investigations into censorship and suppression but the suspending of journalists, let's talk about that for a

minute. a lot of folks out there are saying that is giving more ammunition to the democrats. >> you know, i think that what elon really has focused on is creating a new set of rules for the road with twitter. twitter wasn't profitable. twitter needs to ride the ship and i think the rules need to be clear and understood by everybody but ultimately journalists can't use information to try and docks people online which was he was saying was happening. >> first of all, it's a private company. he can do what he wants. first amendment doesn't apply on twitter. i agree with greta, people shouldn't be misusing the platform. ultimately that's what is happening. i think he does some things well and some not so well. we have seen the same thing with facebook and mishandling of

content discriminating against conservative viewpoints, et cetera. there's a lot to be discussed with the platforms and we ought to give them more time before saying he can't do it. aishah: let me ask you this, al, they are calling ftc to get involve and do you think it rises to level of investigation. >> it's not. fcc doesn't have regulations over it unless we make it publications platform, publisher or turn them -- call them journalists, for example, they don't have the same authority over twitter and that's a discussion to be had but right now they don't have that authority. aishah: okay, so we are watching elon musk and we are also watching this other guy sam bankman fried who has taken over headlines, founder of ftx made a lot of political donations and the majority to democrats and

listen to what he said here about the donations. >> sounds like what you're saying is maybe there's some donations that you have made that you wouldn't make if you knew they were immediately public? >> i don't generally think about that way. these are the right contributions to make. aishah: okay, so some democrats are still holding onto these funds. greta, how big of a problem is this in the new session? >> well, it's huge. it's stolen money. these are assets that ftx investors belief was being held by the company and was safe and so for sbf to take those funds and donate them to candidates when he knew he was fraudulently using the dollars, that's a serious problem. aishah: al, how much of a political problem is this for democrats in washington who obviously want to keep a check on crypto but are kind of tie

today this mess. >> i will say two things, if congress would be a lot smaller if people were restricted from taking money from bad people, but greta is right, they ought to give it back. just as -- if democratic politicians, for example, want to be pies and say they are not going to take money from pharma executives, they shouldn't keep money from a pri criminal in bas prison. the whole thing was a sham. it's good thing he's in jail. they should give the money back and senate ought to look at it. aishah: that wh what do you thik the house should do when it comes to other exchanges like ftx? >> i think you will see a

republican house of representatives that is going to be very uniquely focused on big tech and their attempt to manipulate congress to benefit businesses. that goes for ftx, twitter former management and big tech as a whole as well. it's a new sheriff in town. aishah: yeah, new sheriff in town. i think it's going to be about the investigation. it's going to be more messier is my prediction but we will be following closely, greta, al, thank you for joining us, happy holidays to you. be safe. >> you too. aishah: griff. griff: detective has died through benville, arkansas. earlier we showed you from the wreaths across event at arlington cemetery and this officer was escorting materials for event at 10:00 a.m. local time at fayetteville national

death toll at 4, 13 people are injured including children, one and a half year old found in rubble after being hit at home. parents were killed in the strike. there's a surviving older brother who is now an orphan. 64-year-old woman was pulled from the wreckage overnight by emergency crews. now there is a good video, you know, at least as good as we can get after a horrible situation like this. take a look at this. a volunteer rushed into the wreckage immediately after the strike. he finds a girl with her family and then he leads them down a broken staircase and gets them out of the wreckage. that family was save. here in kyiv we are not learning of any deaths, multiple injuries here in the kyiv region but remember, aishah, four of the missiles targeted kyiv, largest strike on kyiv throughout the entire war.

critical infrastructure was hit but mayor klitschko says most of the water supply is restored. two-thirds of kyiv residents have electricity. president involve volodymyr zelenksyy had strong words after russia targeted critical infrastructure. >> probably as a result of the war meaning of word terror will be associated with such crazy actions of russia. nate: aishah, we are also learning about more russian shelling in kherson, region governor says two people have been killed in the shelling attack. aishah: i imagine putin will use in propaganda war as well. nate foy, live in kyiv, stay safe. griff: aishah, nate, let's go deeper for recent developments,

joining us hudson institute luke, you were in kyiv, lviv a few weeks ago. you know what's going on. this is our latest institute for study of war map of the battles, the front line you can see obviously from kherson that nate had mentioned all the way up across the eastern donbas, what can you tell us? >> griff, thanks for having me on. right now we are seeing static activity in the fighting. not because of lack of will on the side of the ukrainians but mainly because of the weather. right now it's very muddy time and i suspect as we see the -- the winter really set in and we see the ground freezing, we are going to see a lot more movement. we will see ukraine follow up on some of the success they had in kherson recently and few weeks before that also in kharkiv. griff: all right, let me just go to a second one, luke. 98 missiles yesterday, 40

something in kyiv. bakhmut also a hot spot. what can you tell us about that? >> the missile strikes will continue as long as russians maintain stockpiles. they are running low on cruise missiles we know from open source reporting. but we know they are starting to get more drones, suicide drones from the iranians and i suspect speaking to my contacts in ukraine in the next few weeks we will see the introduction of iranian ballistic missiles into it and what we will see targeting, of course, kyiv the capital, lviv the second largest city, the largest city in western ukraine and then we will see odessa, port of odessa being struck for sure. trying to spread the ukrainian forces more thinly across the front lines. griff: bakhmut a hot spot here all the way to the eastern side of ukraine.

>> bakhmut is becoming symbolic important for both sides. for the russians for the past several months they have exhausted huge numbers of forces, mainly the private military company and also the prisoners they have been recruiting, they have been sending to fight in bakhmut. but they've also shifted forces that were in kherson. griff: go ahead. >> in kherson, the area here. when they retreated they shifted better forces, airborne forces, marines to the fight in bakhmut. so right now that is the most difficult section of the front line for ukraine. griff: let me just take you also here to what's happening in melatov. >> i suspect this is place to watch for ukraine. i will see ukrainian positions

in mariupol to crimea and divide russian forces and when the ground freezes, this is what we are going to see the main effort be. griff: that's coming next. i just want to leave you with one final thing before we run out of time, i want to get to the belarus question. we had there a lot. will belarus get involved? >> from the people i speak to is matter of when if not if. the forces of belarus also take part of the attack or russian attack from belarus. i think there are two main scenarios here. we could see another attack on theonthe capital of kyiv. but just an attack would draw forces away from ukraine, ukraine's front lines back to the capital or we could see forces from belarus head into western ukraine to disrupt the supply lines that nato and the u.s. have been using from poland to resupply the rest of ukraine. griff: a lot to watch, indeed,

aishah: my goodness, federal reserve once again raising interest rates this week in its latest attempt to try to tamp down inflation and for more on this, let's bring in now jonathan honick, capitalist pig founder and great expert to talk about this with us. so, jonathan, let's start with where these rates are now, how far we've come. i think we have a graph. let's put that up showing where the fed's benchmark interest rate was pretty much near zero at the beginning of this year

and now where it's at now 4.5%. when i'm thinking about the average family watching this, a week out from christmas where a lot of americans are putting their christmas gifts on credit cards because they can't afford to buy this stuff, what is in their near future? >> they are extraordinarily concerned. great to be with you. 63% of americans are living paycheck to paycheck, half of small businesses were already in a recession and even the rich. 23% of millionaires say they don't feel rich anymore. fed interest rate hike, aishah, that was expected. what wasn't expected its gloomy outlook and the fed sees inflation going higher and lower gdp, americans aren't just dealing with higher prices this holiday prices but much lower stock values. the market was down 5% in november, aishah, and that's prompting as you said a lot of americans have to dip into

credit card debt for the first time in many, many months. aishah: i think a lot of americans are watching the fed do this and think, okay, we are going to suffer now and it'll be better later because this is going to fix everything and it's going to fix inflation and in the overall every inflation pretty sky high compared to last year. janet yellen said something not too long ago that's not very comforting, let's watch this and i want to get your prediction for the next year. >> i think we will see a substantial reduction in inflation in the year ahead. >> it's going the take a year? >> i believe by the end of next year you will see much lower inflation. aishah: by the end of next year. >> that's optimistic. the federal reserve and government officials didn't even see inflation in the first place. now there's one truth to what miss yellen is speaking of. inflation is slowing just slightly. it is slowing but outpacing wages. inflation is running at 7% but

not only inflation slowing but so is the economy slowing. we are seeing big-tech leaders of facebook, down 64%, tesla down by over 50%. there's been tremendous damage done. the average american is having trouble just putting money away. the savings rate is now a 17-year low. it's a very tough christmas. i don't want to be the grinch this christmas but the economy is really struggling and as you said inflation is the number one issued caused in washington, d.c. but being felt not only in wall street but in homes all across america. aishah: i have to ask you because i think -- i talked about inflation with my family all of the time and i talk about how hopefully this will come to an end soon but what about embedded inflation. we don't talk about this enough. do you have concerns that some of the prices for milk, egg, flour, they are pretty high right now. they may not come down. >> if they come down it could take upwards of a decade. i mean, research from bank of

america. once inflation gets above 5% it tends to take more than just a year, year and a half. it tends to take ten years for it to come down. part of what you are seeing is not just inflation but shrinkflation for smaller quality of goods. it's really a main street story and that's what every american is having an effect a lower quality of life this holiday season. aishah: jonathan, is the fed doing the right thing here with the aggressive rate bumps, are they taking the right actions and what else could they have been doing? >> the fed did the wrong thing and they printed all the money and created the inflation during the pandemic and they are trying to stop it up. a lot of the work can be done in washington, d.c. take a tip from 1970's, the mid-70's, we were suffering for similar inflation. we haven't seen inflation since the 1970's, jimmy carter deregulated large parts of the

economy and that set up reagan recovery. a lot of americans cutting back but not the cutbacks in dc that would precipitate end to terrible inflation affecting the economy. aishah: how much more can we cut back? i don't know where else we can do. it's heartbreaking to watch. jonathan hoenig, thanks for breaking it down for us. come back because we will need you next year. griff. griff: aishah, anger is growing as the liberal governor commutes all of the state's death row sentences. that's next. ♪ ♪ ♪

nation for a long time and you got out and decided to find another way to serve by doing the armed services ymca, you have been doing it now, what, eight, ten years, why are you doing it? >> if you can't be in -- on active duty supporting folks, i think t this is the next best jb to have. i got too old to serve on active duty and now i get to work with service members every day and you can imagine how rewarding it is to see the folks and their impact and at the end they are the ones that protect our country, our nation and one way to give back to take care of those who truly take care of us. griff: put you on the something, admiral, was there ever interaction with a family member through operation holiday joy or service member that got a ride home that you were able to meet that said, thank you, that you could see the impact it had? >> it happens all of the time but i was in camp penalton at

holiday joy and i was there watching families who had no idea who they were going to be able to go do and pick out presents for their kids to include bicycles. griff: we are seeing that now. that's where you were. >> it's a wonderful opportunity for these young folks to be able to do things to make their life a little bit better and what a wonderful time of the year when you want to have time with family and make a difference. griff: it's not just the corporations. you can see on the screen for anybody that wants to go and donate, it's asymca.org. like ymca but armed services. ymca.org. they can contribute as well. thank you very much for what you're doing and merry christmas. asymca.org is the website. you go there and contribute. that's it for us. i want to say thanks, aishah for joining us. i want to take two seconds
