dramatically increases military spending and fund the government and vote for order security. >> this bill full of democratic priorities but nothing to protect the border. quite to the contrary, it contains language undermining border security. i insisted we had one amendment come up or down vote, whether to preserve title 42. because title 42 is the one thing is that in between us and utter chaos. we already have total chaos, so bring us to utter chaos of it expires which is about to. all i want is an is an up-and-down vote. chuck schumer and the democrats are terrified of an up-and-down vote. they want absolute pandemonium and chaos on the border and they are terrified of this vote because they will lose, as they should lose. i'm standing firm, demand an up-and-down vote. if they don't give us the up or down vote, this'll be very difficult for them and it'll probably cost them the omnibus. >> the bill, the large one, unveiled days before the funding deadline and it includes

$575 million for family planning, 410 million to reimburse middle eastern countries for their border security. $55 million to restore the salmon, and a million to the michelle obama walking trail in georgia. >> while that battle goes in washington, migrants are overwhelming el paso and some residents say they can't step out of their front door without seeing a sea of migrants. >> lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are begging biden to get down there. kevin corke joining us live at the latest. >> good morning to you. to say things are at a breaking point in el el paso, texas, wih respect to illegal immigration is apparently a gross understatement. the problem in fact has become so acute that the city has resorted to opening up its convention center to house hundreds of migrants and perhaps even more as of last, arctic weather dips towards the borderlands. local residents say migrants are

now showing up at their front doors, "a fire pit, they jump over and they sit there and huddle. and the scary thing is there's a lot of people behind there, you don't know." things are so awful that democrats on capitol hill are beginning to distance themselves from the administration's border strategy. from henry cuellar, "the you should immediately and foment policy for asylum-seekers where they request for relief in an orderly pathway and there should be strong consequences, including removal, for those who don't follow proper procedures." in case you're wondering about the numbers, they are stunning. compare 2020 when there were 40 or 58,000 plus migrant encounters. so far this year? more than 2.3 million. much more, dhs still hasn't released the encounter numbers for november.

>> i share your feeling of frustration and the need of more urgency and i want to see that starting with the white house. >> at the president should be here, you think? >> i absently think the president should be here and everyone should be here. >> everyone should be here. that has been a refrain from republicans for quite some time. they say they know precisely where the blame should live for this crisis. and that's in washington, not austin. >> i've made that point the united states congress asking for more resources so we can better defend our border, knowing the federal government is not defending our border. the only people capable of doing it is texas and what is texas getting? nothing. >> part of his spirited conversation on tucker carlson last night with the great state of texas governor greg abbott. also a new concern of possible

white help plans to divert migrants into the rio grande valley rate lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle are urging the president to finally somehow someway show up at the border. perhaps as soon as possible. we'll see if he does that. >> we need november numbers. kevin, thank you. big thanks, kevin. >> texas national guard commander is warning chaos at the border is putting migrant lives at risk. major general says "i'm concerned of the safety and welfare of migrants, but the cartels are not. they are exploiting this migrant surge so that they couldn't have unimpeded access to the border. our message to the migrants is that this is not safe. there have been drownings every day of people crossing the river at eagle pass where the water is deep and there is a high risk of hypothermia as the temperature drops." he says troops will stay at the border until it secure and plans

are in place to put more boots on the ground when title 42 is lifted. nearly 150,000 migrants have been encountered in el paso since october alone. that's up 248% over the last fiscal year. speak out in the meantime democrat mayor of el paso teaming up with the governor to send busloads of migrants to new york city. four buses carrying 800 migrants have arrived in the big apple since sunday. new york city mayor eric adams declared an asylum-seekers state of emergency back in october. he says "the city can't handle the influx of migrants without state and federal aid" and he has c threatened to cut needs to do with those migrants. arriving in philadelphia dropping off more than 120 people from several countries into the city of brotherly love.

>> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy declaring a partial victory over russia in last night appearance before a joint meeting of congress. >> visit to washington comes as congress is set to vote on the omnibus spending bill which does include more than $45 billion in additional aid for ukraine. jackie bonnie is has the details. >> good morning, guys >> jackie bonnie has has the details. >> good morning, guys but notably speaking in english which is rare for the president. listen. >> you've succeeded in inviting the global community to protect freedom for europe is stronger and more independent than ever. the russian tyranny has lost control over us. your support is crucial, not just to stand in such fight but to get to the turning point to win on the battlefield. >> after finishing the speech come he gave speaker of the

house nancy pelosi and vice pvice president kamala hars ukrainian flag. before his speech, zelenskyy met with president biden at the white house. biden reaffirming his bow to support the war-torn country. >> we provide a steady stream of defense weapon including air defense systems, artillery, ammunition, so much more. and we have not done it alone. on the very beginning, the united states rallied allies and partners from around the world to stand strong with ukraine and i'm president, i press unprecedented sanctions and export controls on russia. >> has sent 60 scenes billion dollars in aid to ukraine since russia launched its invasion in february of this year. with another 1.85 billion on the way. an additional $45 billion which is proposed in the omnibus spending practice del my package by a kremlin spokesman telling

reporters that the white house posse as continue aid will "lead to an aggravation of a conflict and in fact does not bode well for ukraine" for the spokesman also said he does not think zelenskyy's visit to the u.s. will lead to peace talks as the war rages on in ukraine. >> we are going to bring in international relations expert john to rebecca what was your overallgeneral cos meeting between the two yesterday? >> what a speech. it's really bad news for putin that zelenskyy got this huge cheer from congress. i predict zelenskyy will get that additional aid and we saw a very strong support from biden saying we'll stand with you as long as it takes. this was really a triumph for zelenskyy both in congress and the white house. >> president zelenskyy jokingly

said he'd asked for more patriot missile's but i think he was pretty serious but listen to this exchange be it want to get your reaction. >> what's going to happen after patriots are installed? after that, i will send another signal to president biden that we would like to get more patriots. [laughter] >> that's a lot. we are in a war. i'm sorry. i'm really sorry. >> i interviewed him back in april in kyiv at that point he was asking for high marks and he told me essentially the same thing. addressed, if you will come out the sound bite you heard, but also what goes into a patriot missile battery, it it isn't just something we hand over to turn on start using. >> right. zelenskyy wanted more and got them. remember, we are sending one patriot missile battery, just

one. that's going to greatly improve the air defenses because it's longer-range. but it takes training for the ukrainians to operate this battery. this is the gold standard. we are not just turning this thing over to them. they will probably keep it as part of an integrated air defense in the future. but using patriot relies on the frankly u.s. and allied intelligence and surveillance, queuing and training. so we keep really close tabs on this missile system. it's great for ukraine to have it. they could use another battery and i bet zelenskyy might even get one. >> you never know. we'll see how it all pans out. dr. grant, think you're getting up with us this morning. disgraced sam bankman-fried arrived in the united states. handed over to u.s. authorities in new york after a chaotic tradition process from the bahamas where his now collapsed

end up in the tenderloin and it's really difficult, virtually impossible to run a successful business there. keep in mind, griff, there are families who actually live in the tenderloin and children have differently walk over and the sidewalks and step over and used needles just to get to school. >> what is the mayor's reaction to this? i recall she declared a state of emergency over the drug crisis. she supports this, right? >> she created a state of emergency and proceeded toward her friends contracts to help with that problem. this isn't the first neighborhood that has called on the tax boycott. business district also said he didn't want to pay taxes because they've got too many homeless people ruining their businesses as well. the mayor really hasn't responded. she said she's not going to refund taxes. but she's got bigger fish to f

fry. a city that has had more than enough money over the last years as they rode the tech wave. the budget deficit over the next couple of years, they aren't looking to get back tax money at this point. >> what about these individual business owners budgets? i read where one business in the area, told the sample cisco chronicle he spent $600,000 a year on private security to try and deal with this. is this breaking businesses? >> i spoke to the owner of that business by the way. completely frustrated, this is her life dream to build a business but very difficult to do in that kind of environment. told me that some of her employees had been assaulted recently and it's impossible to run a business and doesn't know how much longer she can hold on. >> what does the governor say all of this?

>> he... it's funny. when he was here is the mayor of of's emphasis go he was seen as pro-business and pro-small business advocate. but he has completely abandon small business owners pursuing more aggressive, you know, goals and his quest to maybe march to the white house. >> john, have you sat with this business coalition? obviously they want to actually fund it. but what is their ultimate goal. what is a win for them? >> it win for them is to, you know, get people off the streets and stop blocking their businesses. every day they have to come in, they've got to clean up the mess, the entire mess including the biological messes that people leave in their doorsteps. and it's really... what they are asking is her for the basic services that cities are supposed to supply.

border supervisors are largely run by progressives, they are pursuing social justice goals, they forgot the local business owner paid the supervisor for the district in which la cucina resides and operates has completely avoided this whole topic because he's one of these folks whose pursuing a progressive social justice goal and really hasn't had much to say about the challenges that local businesses face. >> you are the g.o.p. party chair so it might be time for a republican to challenge nancy pelosi and other democrats. thank you for getting up early, such an important story. thanks, john. this is life in joe biden's america. barbed wire lining our border, making el paso look like a war zone. are we ready for the end of

title 42? ron vitello is here alive. >> the fbi is finally responding to the twitter files. we'll bring you the bureau's side of the story next. >> the fbi says this is an effort to discredit them. doing a bunch of discrediting themselves but we are seeing is a pattern of collusion between the fbi, intelligence community, social media platforms.

hi. i'm shannon storms bador.

when we started selling my health products online our shipping process was painfully slow. then we found shipstation. now we're shipping out orders 5 times faster and thanks to shipstation's discounted rates we're saving a ton. honestly, we couldn't do it without shipstation join over 100,000 online sellers who get ship done with shipstation go to shipstation.com /tv and get 2 months free. >> the fbi finally responding to the twitter files released by elon musk writing them off as the work of conspiracy theorists. >> the agency claiming there's nothing to see in their communications with the social media platform despite emails between them directing online censorship. brooke singman joins us live with the details. hey, brooke.

>> the fbi finally weighing in giving fox news the statement. "the fbi provides critical information to the private sector to allow them to protect themselves and their customers. it's unfortunate that conspiracy theorists and others are feeding the american public misinformation with the sole purpose of discredit the industry. taking a look at the correspondents, invest get accounts that may have violated the terms of service. saying the accounts were being looked into. even when accounts like this one with the fbi primarily tweeting jokes like this. alvis chan reveals that he agrees that the bureau's claim, they never pressured twitter to center the hunter biden story or that they ever brought it up at all saying "in my estimation we never discussed hunter biden specifically." refutes sworn testimony who told

the fec that he felt compelled to censor the hunter biden laptop story based on information given to him week weekly meetings with the fbi. resulting censorship is evidence the fbi colluded with big tech to censor americans. listen. >> the fbi was constantly pressuring twitter and forcing them to do investigations leaning on them to do more suppression of speech and it's not just twitter, we heard this from facebook, from mark records mark zuckerberg. i'm really excited and republicans take the panel and start calling the department of homeland security, holding them accountable. >> set to take the majority meaning they'll have subpoena powers as they carry out this. >> thank you. the fbi's credibility crisis is its own fault.

listen. >> they are doing a fine job discrediting themselves. what we are seeing is a pattern of collusion between social media platforms to censor conservative speech to shut down information that could have hurt joe biden and help donald trump and now we learn on top of everything else that money was changing hands. $3.4 million in taxpayer money was transferred from the fbi to twitter. >> unfolding at our southern border and an outreach that republicans say it was no accident. >> this administration is not enforcing the law and they are encouraging illegal immigration. >> we are going to have more crime and the biden administration is not going to change. are they incompetent or is this intentional? >> none of the positions make any sense to me unless i view it

from the perspective of, well, maybe he wants us to happen. nobody is this incompetent. >> retired acting i.c.e. director ron vitello joins us now. says title 42 is the only thing standing between us and absolute pandemonium on the border and you see these pictures of places like el paso anywhere in the border, but el paso is busting at the seams. this looks like a third world country but now it's going to be cold so they got those issues and not to mention the border patrol in what they have to deal with on a daily basis but where's the leadership in the situation because it doesn't seem like anyone has a grip on anything down there. >> it's incredible. there is no leadership on this issue for this administration from day one tore down all the tools the border patrol had to fix this problem.

when joe biden took office january 20th, 4 your lows, illegal immigration throughout the southwestern border, and now we are seeing the worst surge ever in the history of the country in the history of that border. there is no leadership because apparently they prefer chaos along our southwestern border. >> you had been talking about a lot of years, you were the border patrol chief and i interviewed you. i look at the most recent members, el paso is under 436,000 fiscal year to date from last year which is unprecedented. when you hear republicans in the sound bite we played, this was an intentional effect. do you agree? >> yeah. because you have the ideologues in charge of what's going on at the white house. they have an out-of-control

border, the cartels are setting the agenda on the southwest border in that real estate and this administration has no idea what to do. they claimed it was in a crisis. they claimed it wasn't a problem and now we are seeing the worst surge in the history of that border and they've done absolutely nothing to change the policy, to try to get control, and they are at the whim of these ideologues that prefer chaos over control at our southwest border. >> i want to get your thoughts on the spending bill, this $1.7 billion spending bill and the fact that $410 million of it is supposed to go to border security for middle eastern countries and the g.o.p. and democrats are going back-and-forth over this. how does that make some be like you feel, you've seen this firsthand for years and years and years knowing they are fighting over whether or not to send aid to foreign countries and we are completely ignoring

what's happening in our country. >> we are given billions of dollars to assist the territorial integrity of ukraine and we have set aside a couple of million dollars for border control. guess what? we can't do anything except for process individuals who cross the border faster. that's what it says in this bill. this omnibus is a travesty as it relates to getting control of the border. we been put together for venezuela department oil coming in the united states without a repatriating agreement with venezuela. venezuela was a large contributor of illegal immigration across the southwest border. we did a deal with them to import oil from them, but no

repatriation agreement. this is a problem, the senate and the house, the senate has to act and they are going in the wrong direction here. >> we don't have repatriation which is now in larger numbers. let me quickly in our time, you mention the cartels and this is an important point. this is one of the thousands of color-coded four digit numerical codes at the cartels give to every migrant when they come across. no one wants to talk and the white house certainly doesn't want to talk about how these policies are enriching the cartels. if title 42 lifts, what does that mean for lining the pockets of the cartels, ron? >> the dhs, the estimates are saying that 14,000 people are going to come across that

border. we are seeing 6000-8000 people come across the border everything will 24 hours. if they rescind the title 42, we are going to see more people coming across the border. it's already overwhelmed, right? there is not enough force space, processing ability, not enough workstations, the work floor for border control pair they are already overwhelmed and the ending of title 42 is going to make it worse for them. >> as we show every day all day great footage from bill melugin, the others at the border, these large groups, every single one paid. ultimately it's making the cartels rich in ways they never dreamed of. thank you for getting up early and happy holidays. >> thanks, ron. merry christmas. >> merry christmas. hispanic business council president says that he's getting ready to ditch the party over

president biden's handling of the border crisis. >> i'm a democrat. i voted for joe biden. i'm pleading with him the come down here and illustrate that he cares what the people of south texas, this is a crisis and we need attention, we need action from our leaders. >> would you vote for him again? >> [laughs] we will see. but i've got to tell you, the democrats are going to make a republican out of me. >> also says the migrant surge is harming hispanic owned small businesses which are still reeling from the covid pandemic. >> a judge says transgender athletes can compete in women's sports and blues to connecticut by a track runner who missed the championship because she lost to a biological mail is here with her reaction to that ruling. >> plus it's being called a once in a generation winter storm and it's impacting nearly every state. we'll tell you what it means for your christmas travel plans. keep it here.

>> as threats overseas rage, the marine corps is thinking of ditching gender specific terms to avoid the risk of ms. jen during drill

misgenderring drill instructors, referring to their ranks or roles followed by their last names. the university of pittsburgh's reports argues that gender-neutral language will bolster the melon structures. the female instructors. her school therapist allowed her to solely transition her gender. the woman says her school allowed her daughter to use the boys restroom and a fake name while also using different pronouns to identify her. she says she and her husband pulled her daughter out of the school shortly after because "these kids are in their formative years and they are teaching the stuff to them, they are teaching them that may not be the sex they were born as. i can imagine what we are going to see in the coming years." >> the war on women sports continues as the u.s. second circuit court allows biological

male athletes to compete against women for the aclu celebrating the ruling calling it a critical ruling for fairness, equality, inclusion. next guest is a female track runner who lost her -- qualifier to two male athletes identifying as women. along with mack sharks, senior counsel with the alliance defending freedom. i want to start with you but you lost the state championship and the new england championship. when you heard the aclu say that this was a victory for fairness, equality, inclusion, what did you think? >> i was very hurt by their comments because it is not fair for a girl to be forced to compete against biological males. there is nothing that we can do to overcome the biological differences that male have over women but it makes me feel what i went through in high school did not matter. >> it takes a lot of guts for a young woman to stand up to a situation like this and a lot of

people applaud you for it. what are your fellow athletes and friends saying that may have thoughts about this? are they willing to stand up too or do they want to stay behind and just deal with it? speak to everyone i have talked to is in agreement with us and they support us. most are afraid of speaking out. i tell them that need to stand up and speak out. it's going to be much easier to fight this issue with the more voices we have. i have absolutely no regrets by speaking out. >> have you always stood up for what you believe in? >> i have bit my parents raised me that way pair that's the way i've always been. >> good. i've got a question for you. as far as a legal standpoint and this can what's going on with that and is there anything you can do from a law side that can help people like selena? >> we are currently involved in a connecticut policy that allowed these two males to take opportunities away from salina

and other young women in connecticut. unfortunately at federal court has dismissed that lawsuit finding the harms that these young women suffered, the loss of championships, lost of records, real dismissive service. i think the more encouraging thing has been the national movement that the other young women have launched it we have 18 states to protect fairness in women's sports, tell what happened does not happen in their state. >> i too was a fema athlete so i can feel for you and the story and all girls going through this right now. did you ever think as a young woman that this would be what you'd have to be talking about a couple of days before christmas and your early life? >> i never thought in a million years this topic would be something that would come up and i'd have to fight against.

but i have absolutely no regrets and i know what i'm standing for his right and i'll continue to do so as long as it takes. >> what did your coaches say about these situations? did they offer you any type of help or make you try and feel better about the situation? what where there? >> they said it was unfair but there was not much more beyond that. it was mostly my parents and my friends and family that were encouraging me to speak out and fight for what's right. >> from a legality standpoint, how many other young people do you foresee coming out and sticking up for themselves like selena in the future? we are hearing more and more of this now so i feel like people like selena who stand up for what they believe in, it's just going to kind of fuel the fire for these other young women. >> it really has. the alliance defending freedom representing lawsuits like selena in west virginia, in

idaho, other places across the country, we've seen more and more voices speaking out, more and more showing to testify in support of women's sports and raising the alarm about the unfairness happening, these policies allow to take away for young women. so encourage to see the movement that others have lunch with her courageous stand. >> thinks her being with us. thank you for sticking up for what you believe in and keep fighting the good fight for all of those young girls out there because we need people like you. we appreciate you getting up this morning. >> thank you. >> no problem. washington is heaping praise and a lot of money on ukrainian president zelenskyy after his historic address to congress. while more of our tax dollars stopped putin as he prepares for the next age of war? >> meanwhile the clock is ticking for congress to prevent a shut down as democrats try to pass its massive $1.7 trillion bill. we'll tell you about the last-minute change that could
