a major winter storm during this week threatening to bring dangerous travel conditions to huge spots of the country's millions of americans prepared at the roads and skies for the christmas and hanukkah holidays but welcome to bring our "fox news live" i am arthel neville. hi griff. >> hi i am griff jenkins i am in for eric shawn but if you aren't living or traveling around the eastern third of the country, plate close attention forecasters warned heavy snow and strong winds are likely

coming your way. there's still a lot of uncertainty about the storm let's go straight to the fox weather center meteorologist is alive with the full forecast, michael what are we in for? >> griffin arthel this is not just the headache on the system this is a full on migraine if you are doing any traveling thursday, friday, and saturday. especially in parts of the midwest. a quick little timeline on this, shoving you by the time we get to thursday and friday of our friends and family in chicago, detroit, cleveland down toward st. louis as well, and for a ton of snow and a ton of wind as well. that when going to be capable of producing near blizzard like conditions. we are talking a wind gust 50 -- 60 miles per hour. on top of all of that a major winter storm is what we are anticipating. full too soon to put specific numbers on it in terms of amount. but we can tell if you're going to be traveling from say chicago

cross i 96 or i 94 into metro detroit i-75 from detroit all the way on through that's going to be a very dangerous travel stretch, especially on thursday, friday and into saturday. which you know is christmas eve. so heavy snow expected and all the areas shaded in pink coloring. we can see very heavy snow in the lake of belts 1311 thing to watch out for at this point it looks like the east coast of our models continue to trend in this way but should seat majority rain from d.c. up to philadelphia. all five boroughs of nyc up to boston. not to be left out that's two -- 3 inches of rain. a factor in the wind and all that, again travel going to be travel on the eye 94 corridor periods check this out by chicago saturday morning we are talking about wind gusts over 40

mile-per-hour wind gusts is what we are anticipating by the time i get to saturday, christmas eve. it is going to be a really, really intense winter storm that we see brewing in parts of our nations midwest section. a lot to keep our eyes on here in the fox weather center. griff: old man, michael, timing of the storm is no good. people better bring their patients boxed meteorologist jan h. thank you very much. vice president aaa will join us on how you can navigate the holiday travel crunch and these possible storms, arthel. arthel: not only your patients, griff, you've got to bring in asser because michael says it's going to be a full on migraine, the travel but meanwhile there is this part ftx founder sam bankman fried do in court in the bahamas he will reportedly stop fighting extradition to the u.s. where he is facing fraud and money lawn laundering charges.

the latest on this now, jonathan per. >> hey arthel, bohemian prison official tells washington post that sam bankman fried is hoping to be granted bail. but if not may decide to stop fighting extradition to the u.s. if that were to happen reuters reports that he would reverse his decision to fight extradition at a hearing on monday. now legal experts say bankman fried has to consider whether or not delaying extradition helps his case in the u.s. where he faces charges of wire fraud, money laundering and campaign-finance violations. >> if it is almost inevitable is going to be extradited and if delay is not his friend, which i think is the case here, he may decide to voluntarily waive income to the united states. >> federal prosecutors have been contacting democratic and

republican campaigns about donations they have received from the ftx crypto currency exchange founder. the vast majority of his contributions did go to democrats in this year's midterm cycle he was the second biggest individual donor to democratic campaign surpassed only by billionaire george. some of the recipients of these donations have vowed to give the money to charity or set it aside until they receive further legal guidance. bankman fried arrest in the bahamas came just before he is to testify in the u.s. under oath before a house committee. now, in addition to any potential legal strategy, another factor his apparent change of heart may be the conditions the detention facility where he is being held is called the fox hill facility in the bahamas. a number of months ago there were complaints it was overcrowded and in poor condition for it although since then officials in the bahamas have tried to improve those conditions, arthel.

arthel: all right jonathan thank you very much. griff: the collapse isn't prompting growing calls for congress to regulate the digital marketplace. watch. >> this is a complicated unregulated pot of money. it has been in so many ways. sam bankman fried was worth $30 billion and now he's worth probably less than zero and it very well may face a jail time. ftx is not the whole issue. griff: joining is now wall street associate editor fox news contributor, john let's jump in right into this idea of regulation. what would that even look like? how likely is it washington even has the will to jump in and do this? >> i think washington has the will to do this because you are

seeing a lot more households affected by this than in the past. you now have roughly 13% of households having dipped into the crypto currency markets over the last several years that's up for about 3% before 2020, that is a lot of people. a lot of people have really taken it in their bank accounts, not just with the collapse of ftx but other intermediary financial institutions that have also declared bankruptcy. bitcoin is down 75% it is been a roller coaster over the last several years, way up and then away down and then back up and then back down. and so you are going to see an increasing number of people who have taken it in the neck saying where are the fundamental regulatory processes by which this new financial market can be regulated. so that i as a consumer have a fighting chance of making in the

market that's going to be properly treated. griff: you really hit the nail on the head you talk about bitcoin. we can show you we got the plummeting we have seen it is down as you said some 70% print we can show here generally first, 47000 today 16000. in this chart down 65%. so my question is, if indeed regulation with congress authorized regulation given to the sec and the other regulators, could this industry even survive that kind of scrutiny? >> oh well, i think of regulatory agencies were to begin to oversee this particular market you might find quite to the reverse, it flourishes and that consumers begin to think okay, it's in now of a more legitimate environments but is not a casino it is not unregulated.

bankman fried the charges against him are basically embezzlement using a research outfit that he had to front run trades. these are all things that used to be done on wall street. i member insider trading on wall street before there's a crackdown on insider trading. the average consumer says okay, if the regulators are cracking down the big guys cheating then i can enter this market with a bit more confidence that i am going to be able to trade it legitimately but this is something the wall street journal j clayton the former head of the sec and timothy the former head of the commodities futures trading commission had a piece in the journal recent said look, people said it cannot be regulated it's meant to be this crypto currency that is global and not located to a particular country. it is meant to transcend regulation. it is kind of nonsense. they say in the article in the

journal there are basic consumer protections that all of us want to have pretty lengthy rule of law. we want people to stop at stop lights. we want there to be rules our financial markets markets to make it safe to trade. griff: bottom line in the time we have left here is that possible that bankman fried although it looks like a knot of people are not going to get their money back. but in the larger things bankman fried was the thing that set off a profitable future crypto currency market. >> so, it was bound to be something, right? if not this particular company than his series of other companies that have run into trouble. the fact that consumers have made a lot of money and they've lost a lot of money in this market. it appears to be a casino and there does not -- make you do not have the confidence you would as an investor walking into this market that over time

the following is going to happen you just do not know it's going to happen and you do not know what the players are you do not know who is front running your trade. so it was bound to be some company a failure of a company or the loss of confidence by consumers in general that was going to be bringing in regulators and the size of it is gotten bigger and bigger and at a certain point it becomes an major market regulators are simply going to pay more attention too. >> is a fencing sword to watch no one with more insight than you, john bussey thank you very much happy holidays progress my plates are you two. arthel: fox news get exclusive look at newly disclosed surveillance video showing what appears to be two of the murdered idaho college students walking around downtown moscow. just hours before they were killed in their off-campus home. matt is alive in moscow, idaho with the very latest, matt.

>> arthel, fox news digital obtains that video from property not far from worm standing here in johnstown, moscow. and steve gonzalez the founder of murder victim kayleigh gonzalez was a new video his daughter kayleigh in her friend madison walking from the corner bart to the grub at shrek just hours before the murders five weeks ago today. it is not confirmed but it sounds as if one of the girls asks the other about a man name adam which kayleigh's father suggested was the bartender that night. >> we have had that film for a while, i believe the business reached out to us directly. after they'd given it to the police it was kind of comforting to us it's just two girls having a good time talking about -- asking about their bartender, just being girls on their way to the grub truck. >> a new video shows the young

woman walking with a man who police at this hour is not a suspect read that man appears to resemble the same person in the original food truck surveillance video from the night of the murders. kayleigh and mattie appeared to be wearing the same close in both videos as well. this afternoon police continued to ask the public to be on the lookout for that 2011 through 2013 white hon day along tripper they tell me it was quote there the night of the murders they do not know the license plate and they do not know the owner. and if this hour our understanding is the car and driver are still somewhere out there and have not come forward, arthel. arthel: matt finn there in moscow, idaho thank you very much metz, griffin. griff: still ahead the migrant crisis of the southern border is pushing the city of el paso to the breaking point. how they are trying to get ahead of this historic crisis, next.

griff: democratic mayor of el paso, texas declared a state of emergency record surge of migrants flooding the city. this as the clock ticks with just three days to go until the end of title 42. border cities are preparing for what might come in that policy

is lifted. bill melugin is alive in eagle pass with the latest. hey bill. >> mcgriff good afternoon to el paso was now the latest border city to have to declare a state of emergency during this border crisis. the other two billing del rio and yuma, the real has indenting at get them into being undated with crossings as well but take a look at this video are drone team shot early this might just after sunrise. once again a large group of more than three under migrants cross illegally in the early morning chilly weather border patrol has to give out space blankets to these migrants in an effort to keep them warm predominant everybody crossing here is a single adult either from cuba, columbia or nicaragua. this counters for the most part not subject to title 42. most of the people across the sector doing to being released into the united states because of the sheer numbers of people the amount of human smuggling from the cartel the president of the border patrol union says he classifies what is happening at the border as an invasion, take

a listen. >> and if you look at the invasion although this might not be an army it is still being orchestrated by an organized group space been organized by the cartel. they are orchestrating everything we are seeing on the border so yes i absolutely do believe this is an invasion. i do believe we could declared as such. >> take a look of these images and major mass and bust right here in eagle pass. what you are looking at cdp port of entry here in eagle pass just a couple hundred yards away from where i'm standing. officers they are seizing 91 pounds of mass and a mexican nationals car as he was trying to drive it into the united states for that is a street value of $842,000. he was obviously arrested and then lastly will take out the arizona border patrol tucson sector human smuggling bus out there the border patrol stopping a vehicle with five illegal immigrants inside but all dressed in camouflage basically

stacked up on top of each other being smuggled for the driver was u.s. citizen a 22-year-old. he was arrested and charged with human smuggling. we are now three days away from the dropping of title 42 when a massive surge is being expected just to put the numbers in perspective for our viewers. as it is right now we are averaging between 6,008,000 illegal crossings everyday print one set of 42 drops dhs is projecting upwards of 15000 illegal crossings every day. almost a doubling of the current situation. we will send it back to you. >> that is not what agents need on that border. cooksey was government should have a very high level meeting in mexico with the mexican officials. and to pretty much put it on the table we cannot continue to lose 9000 americans every month. we have a flooded country of poisonous fentanyl. we have to be more aggressive. we are not doing and that is my

recommendation. >> a massive influx of migrants is not the only concern for republicans by the way lawmakers are asking for a sitdown meeting with president biden to discuss the surge in fentanyl. but so far to no avail. as curtails a final massive amounts of deadly drug across the border. in the letter following up on their october 18 request, the lawmakers say quote over this 50 day. an estimated 7500 plus americans have died from fentanyl related deaths. the families and the countless others destroyed by synthetic opioids pouring across our southern border will never be the same for joining me now, one of the republicans who signed that letter to the president michigan congresswoman lisette mcclain. congresswoman, thank you for joining us. if you could first of all explain the protocol to get a meeting with the president, what you have to do? >> clearly there is a crisis at the border.

we have sent letters, we have had phone calls, again we sent another letter last week requesting, asking, demanding at nausea him to meet with the president about this crisis that we have at the border. but again it falls on deaf ears. what i find so hypocritical is the president does not think there's a crisis at the border. yet, you heard the numbers of 5000, 8000, when title 42 goes away that does not count the financials going across a border as well. yet we bus 150 people up to a democratic city it breaks loose of got the call the national guard. we have thousands crossing our border and thousands were the fentanyl coming across our border. we cannot even get a sitdown with the president?

he will not even talk about this issue? what is extremely sad is i have met in my republican colleagues have met with families who have lost loved ones to fentanyl. and it fentanyl poisoning. this is all because of open border. and our president does not even care enough about these people to talk about it? that is shameful. it's. arthel: i am sorry congress might you want to hear the human toll of this momentarily. you want to go here for a second period if you do get a meeting with president biden what you want to say to him? what you want here for the present? >> what i want to hear is that we have a problem. that we have an illegal immigration problem. we have a fentanyl crisis at our southern border. and i would like to begin to talk with him about some answers on how we fix the problem. because if we do not fix this problem thousands more of our

americans are going to die. so you cannot fix a problem that you first cannot admit we have a problem. so first and foremost we need to talk to the president, perhaps invite him down to the border and maybe have some hearings down at the border to actually show him we have a problem. then we can talk about fixing it. arthel: i understand i'm guessing you were expecting a bipartisan effort. so how soon can americans expect new legislation or plan of action from the government the whole of government to take care of this a fentanyl crisis? >> i can assure you this, as soon as we get the majority in january, this is number one on our priority list. and you are right we do have bipartisan support because fentanyl poisoning is not a partisan poisoning.

it is the number one killer between mn from 18 -- 45 years old. what i plan on doing in our republican colleagues i can assure you secretary will have a permit's parking spot in congress because we intend to haul all of these people in and demand answers on what are you going to do to keep americans safe? that is the oath of office that you promised to do. arthel: i understand i understand human whole people, who should be held accountable. i'm hoping in that same breath once you do take over and get that power in the majority that you can implement some policy to make change. not just getting rid of the people who you feel are not doing anything. many of these families. go ahead. but i assure you this. we take the gavel will put through legislation and we will

give the president an opportunity to sign good legislation that deals with the crisis at the border as well as dealing with his pencil issue. we will give him that opportunity to affect the american people. you can count on that. >> we are looking forward to that. hopefully this will be clean and not with so many attachments that never gets done because we are really quite frankly as americans we are tired of that. these families that you mentioned earlier, many governments in your home state of michigan have been tragically touched by this fentanyl crisis. they are deathly afraid of it coming to the doorstep. what are you hearing from them? >> it is heart wrenching. i think if you talk to anyone, everyone you talk to has a story that they know somebody who has passed away from fentanyl or from an overdose for its rampant, it's sad, it is heart

wrenching. the more frustrating problem is the family of these people that have passed away they think nobody cares. they do not think this administration cares. and unfortunately the president and this administration is not helping that because he will not even talk about it. he will not even set up a meeting with these families who have lost loved ones. he will not set up a meeting with us to talk about the cr crisis. that is what is most heart wrenching. arthel: well, i wish you wellin your efforts to get some changes in effect. in january will be here soon enough. congresswoman lisette mclean thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, merry christmas. arthel: it merry christmas. griff: arthel, there is no place like away from home from the holidays. but you do not want this to

happen to you, oh no they are stuck. coming up expert advice from aaa on the best and worst times to travel.

travel right before the holidays. they still do. this was going to quite a bit of a headache. >> the expectable travel for the holidays we just have to be preparing ourselves to plan some extra time. but had 13 million and frankly that's 95% of paid 102 million are going to hit the roadways and other seven-point to million will take to the air. the numbers are almost on par 2019.7.3% back then. a lot of people traveling there going to do it the busiest days to travel friday the 23rd comic-con the 27th and 28th people are going to be coming back from christmas to be going out or expend the time for the new year. of course amended generally second book ends the holidays falling on the weekend of extra time to know was going to be busy. >> it's helpful will show you on

the screen specifically the busiest times to avoid. if you can you can see on december 23, this two days before christmas muni 6:00 p.m. on january 2 there you have it. if you can avoid traveling during that time do so. what is the best time to travel? >> the best time really on those days or prior to those days to be in the morning. if you could avoid the rush hour go early morning or very late at night. i like to think most people are going to go out early. the key is to make sure you're hitting the roads and planning appropriately. checking your vehicle make sure vehicles equips you have everything. especially during this winter time and a lot of times and that you winter weather but make sure you check your battery, your tires and leave ample enough time to consider the highways you're going to be delayed. you're not going to be able to avoid it so pack your patients is what we always say. that's it wouldn't give you as

advice. >> i talk about planning to start this show the great meteorologist michael estime tracking a big storm coming across the great lakes. not clear is going to do to the east coast it's a heavily trafficked corridor. how important right now should people be coming up with may be a backup plan if you factor in the weather concerns? >> great points. weather is certainly the wild card. especially safety on the roads for the people who drive it. taking to the air if your flights and delayed, they have to be deiced or canceled and delayed you're missing connection seven people are traveling right now. there's not a lot of free time or open space to be re- accommodated. it really isn't a contingency plan you can plan out to start moving your travel plans for you need to be aware. i would say make sure you have the airline app. make sure you understand carriage whether it's a weather delay or cancellations, that is an act of god.

there is really no obligation to do anything else other than to get to your point of the next available flight whenever that is. having the apps, using flight aware and check your inbound flight making sure inbound flight is on time and running in your area at whether it's going to help you make your connection down my pride be prepared. if you can take a carry-on i always suggest take a carry-on and not have to worry about -- airbags not making the connection. also electronic connections, bring an extra charger. make sure you have to bring up charge on your phone to make sure you can stay in touch with loved ones along the way. maybe be able to rebook or check availability on the flight apps along the way. griff: pack your patients, paul of aaa. happy holidays. you traveling by the way? >> i am going to be home with my family but i have traveled all week last week.

it's been very busy from north to south from florida and new york, both busy. >> there we go. paula, thank you very much have a great holiday. >> youtube. arthel: paul has the right idea but if you do have to travel bug, try to avoid the bugs will get you sick as a holiday season is in full swing all but four u.s. states are seeing high or very high levels of flu cases appear this is all part of the ongoing tripledemic we have been reporting it is flu, covid, and rsv. alexis mcadams is alive in the newsroom there in new york city now with the very latest. >> hi arthel, here new york city masks are still optional right now. both cases affluent covid spike and then york city health department issued eight mask advisory. but not everybody we talked to said they are bored at that idea. >> it is interesting because i'm actually a nurse. if i was sick i would wear a

mask. but if i wasn't sick i wouldn't. >> mask advisory urges to wear a mask and out on the subway switch this weekend, arthel, are packed. point to the high spike in fluent covered berry. the advice comes as hospitals are busy taking care of patients sick with the flu, covid and wsrc it is the tripledemic we been hearing about doctors for weeks. according to data from the cdc at least 15 million people have been sick with the flu so far this winter. leading to 150,000 hospitalizations and more than 9000 deaths for that spike in illness coming just in time for the holiday season. >> are seeing very high rates of rsv in children. and some older adults. we are also seeing in the uk the disturbing tran 13 pediatric deaths. we note simply wearing a mask in this indoor spaces in particular can protect you. >> here's a look at the number

flu cases across the u.s. the state seen here in red and brown have the highest number of cases. which is pretty much everywhere you look except alaska that is not moderate to high numbers of cases for the flu but is as cases continue to climb other large cities including los angeles have also recommended people mask up, arthel. >> welt ms. mcadams you stay safe over the holidays. merry christmas and happy new year to you and your family, thank you. some of our arthel come our viewers are going to want to see this. an inspiring reunion this holiday season appeared an artist in los angeles was able to save her parents from a war zone in ukraine after they nearly died twice. she joins us with her family story of survival and why their struggle is not over yet. and leon... the first of them all. three generations, who all bank differently with chase. leon's saving up for his first set of wheels... nice try. really? this leon's paying for his paint job on the spot...
