>> it needs sequins, i couldn't see there but i think number one, leopard. >> if you don't wear the leopard it's a big mistake. one is all i have to say about that. >> one. >> one across the board. that's it. get ready for the new year that's coming soon. >> bye, guys, have a great day. >> you'll look so good. >> rich: new year, same problems confront president biden at the halfway point of a term marred by setbacks and big pieces of legislation. while voters say they're not optimistic for 2023. i'm riched son in for bill hemmer. >> julie: i'm julie banderas in for dana perino. it has been nearly two years since president biden was sworn into office and made lofty promises if you may remember. many of them have fallen by the wayside. >> president biden: without unity, there is no peace, only

bitterness and fury. the extreme maga republicans in congress have chosen to go backwards full of anger, violence, hate and division. it's a bill that will cut your cost of living and reduce inflation. take time to get inflation back to normal levels. i will accomplish what i said i would do, a more humane policy based on family yoonfication. don't come -- don't leave your town or city or community. >> rich: border encounters up 33% from a year ago. inflation up more than 7%, stock market down nearly $7 trillion. >> julie: that's as americans are reeling and the president is taking a break vacationing in the caribbean. the white house isn't completely vacant. we have peter doocy there. >> 2/3 majority of americans in a recent fox news poll say 2022

was a bad year. and that just does not compute with the folks at the white house. we have this photo that the white house posted that shows a huge stack of bills president biden signed to close out the year. the text accompanying those images says wrapping up one of the most productive legislative sessions in recent history with 1, 2 or 65 final bills to sign thanks to my friends in congress for making it possible. they think things are going great. the president is talking about his friends in congress. he will need new friends in congress. there has been some reporting recently that the white house is looking for moderate republican lawmakers they can partner with, with the g.o.p. set to retake the majority next week. as expected, most g.o.p. lawmakers aren't exactly falling over themselves to work with the biden team. >> we have to show true leadership and trustworthy leadership in america.

for the rest of the world to see this. i don't think people around the rest of the world can fathom why we have, for example, open borders. why we let this pandemic go on and on without searching for the truth. why we have people in leadership that are off vacationing when we have a transportation problem. >> christmas is officially over at the white house. i was watching yesterday as they were wheeling christmas trees out of the residence. the new year celebration will take place down in st. croix and the first family will be back sometime next week. >> julie: thank you very much, peter doocy. >> rich: let's bring in james freeman from the "wall street journal" and fox news contributor. you know, james, first semester is finished. you have grades here. let's get right to it. the president's report card thus far. d economy and inflation f, foreign policy b, healthcare,

immigration both f. what do you think the biggest problem but the biggest success in the last two years? >> i guess you would say, i'm a tough grader. i have feel like a dean reviewing delta house. >> julie: you don't believe in equitable grading. >> tough but fair. the f on economy and inflation. inflation obviously. it is related to his economic agenda. i think these were big legislative wins for him getting the so-called rescue plan through in 21 and getting the inflation reduction act, so-called, in 22. not wins for americans. we've seen the inflation problem. we've seen this massive spending feeding demand but very little to encourage to supply for labor and goods. that's the inflation problem in a nutshell. it was also based on a fundamental falsehood he told when he came into office that the economy was in a shambles

and needed a massive government intervention. the economy was rebounding since the middle of 2020. he either never saw it or acknowledge it. >> julie: he doesn't acknowledge a lot of problems. border and crime. he rarely talks about either. i never hear him talk about crime. crime has spiked in this country. i don't hear him talking about the stock market a lot. at the end of the year we end in the red. overall, the dow down over 3,000 points over the entire year. that's not a good look. >> no, it's not. it's a lot of the impact of the inflation problem that he helped create along with the federal reserve. federal reserve understanding the mistake and trying to correct it now with a series of rate hikes this year. i would prefer they focus on shrinking the balance sheet more. but the president in contrast has not acknowledged the problem. went ahead and pushed through

the inflation reduction act despite the title more spending, more feeding demand. very few incentives in there, if any, to produce all the things that make an economy grow. >> rich: one of the things the white house talked a lot about with the inflation reduction act when questioned how it will affect inflation, the answer that they would point to, there wasn't much in the short term, was healthcare. the ability to negotiate drug prices. why the f on healthcare and what about that in inflation reduction act? does it begin to start helping? >> the reason i give him an f on healthcare was that and other things as well. what you see across his agenda, rather than trying to address the entitlement problem, as we look at the long term, people talk about the 30 plus trillion federal debt and you count the promises they've made on entitlements to the future it is more like 100 trillion. >> rich: it doesn't slow spending. >> no, it accelerates it.

also the covid response. he campaigned as kind of the shutdown candidate from his basement. unfortunately he brought that attitude into office. he should have been urging everybody, especially schools, to be reopen. he adopted the teachers union line that only big spending and all kinds of unneeded improvements in schools would allow them to reopen. that's the reason for that grade. >> julie: did you have a grade about biden now versus other presidents at this point in their term? >> that's a tough one. the voters -- it is important to remember, because the mid-terms were not as bad as people expected for the president, his approval ratings are still lousy and his party lost the house. so that i guess you would say is typical of a mid-term president's first term. voters the end to do a course correction and they did somewhat

of one there. >> julie: a lot of people asked themselves are you better off now than four years ago? i think the majority would say what? >> based on inflation and purchasing power a lot of people would say no. i'm not one who thinks we're doomed to a big recession. i think it's possible, if the president does no harm, the grade improves next year. one thing i did give him better marks on foreign policy. a lot to be determined but he has supported ukraine while avoingd getting into a war with russia. i think that's a success for the year. >> rich: you are hosting evening edit on fox news network. check out more what james has to say. >> julie: the area recovers from its most deadly winter storm in decades. 37 people were killed due to the christmas week blizzard. authorities and fear that number will still rise as the national guard now is going door-to-door

to check on homes that lost power. fox weather correspondent robert ray is live in buffalo with more on the recovery there. >> good morning and you see just one of many streets here in south buffalo about three miles from downtown covered in literally feet of snow. neighbors have taken it upon their own hands to dig themselves out as the city is doing their best, we're told, to try to remove all this snow. the main arteries are good. we drove through them last night and today. some of these side streets not so much as you see. the piles and the ice that is now ensuing on the ground. many of these folks trying to get to their jobs this morning. they cannot because of situations like this on the side streets. city of buffalo says over 400 pieces of heavy machinery are out trying to remove the snow and get the city back in order. as you just reported, at least

37 people have lost their lives. we have a big warm-up here this morning as these are very icy conditions. temps will be in the 40s here today. what that will cause is some of this snow to start to leak out into the streets, causing some flash flooding over the course of the next couple days, which could be a nasty scenario. in the meantime, yes, national guard still out doing welfare checks. the travel ban lifted at 12:01:00 a.m. the city would like people to stay off the roads. many people haven't been able to get food, provisions and other things since last weekend. you can expect a lot of folks trying to make their way out. in the meantime it's streets like this where people are just going to have to get on foot. vehicles cannot make their way out here and the ice and the melting snow in the coming hours and days is going to make this situation even more nasty.

over 100 inches of snow has fallen in the city of buffalo since the middle of november. just an amazing scenario to the cap off 2022. i can tell you, people here in buffalo are hoping the new year brings in warmer temps and a lot less of this white powder going on here in buffalo. back to you. >> julie: thank you very much. >> rich: pope francis is asking for prayers for his predecessor, former pope benedict xvi because he is sick. the 95 year old's health is declining because of his age. he retired in february of 2013 and has lived in the monastery on vatican grounds since. >> julie: asylum seekers at the border are vowing to cross illegally despite the supreme court upholding title 42. what we hear from communities on the front lines of the crisis. southwest airlines doing major

>> rich: overwhelmed border cities are demanding action saying the biden administration needs to offer more to protect the border and prevent drugs and weapons from coming in. matt finn is live from the southern border in eagle pass, texas, with new numbers from customs and border protection, matt. >> good morning, rich. over the past two days since title 42 was extended we have seen a consistent amount of smaller groups arriving here in

eagle pass. behind me is a fresh group of migrants. they are being processed by border patrol. men, women, children as we see so often. it is very foggy right now if you can't tell. on top of the cargo container we watched as national guard yesterday installed fresh razor wire. governor greg abbott's office tells us it's part of texas bolstering physical deterrents along the border. also happening to the northwest in el paso where the national guard installed two miles of fencing along the border there. fox news did a ride along in el paso with the west texas dps sergeant he thinks over the past couple of days coyotes and migrants across the border can see the fresh fencing and military vehicles and appears to be slowing down the larger crossings in el paso. >> i think they see us and it's just deterrents. so they don't want to cross this way. if they decide to cross this way we're directing them in the

right place to go so they can get properly processed. >> larger crossings might have slowed down in el paso over the past couple of days but in general fresh numbers reveal migrant encounters in el paso and across the southern border are hitting an all-time high. sources tell fox news griff jenkins from october 1st to december 29th, the first 90 days of 2023 a new record average of 7,000 migrant encounters per day totaling 16,000 encounters at the southern border. 186,573 migrants expelled under title 42. but many more were released into the united states. rich. >> rich: matter, thank you. >> julie: let's bring in a homeland security reporter for "the washington examiner." thank you for talking to us.

this is a crisis that we just had james freeman talk about and he graded the president very low scores on immigration and crime. he has done nothing. in his administration not once in his tenure visited the border and now we look at title 42 and its expiration. they have a couple months to get it together. quite frankly it doesn't look like the president has a plan. he has very little time to turn this around. what say you on what the president's next course of action should be? >> you're right. president joe biden hasn't been down to the southern border in five decades. i've been covering this issue for five years and been down 45 times myself. i have never seen it like it is at present. people coming across. and the president, joe biden's administration, had since may when they were first going to end title 42 to figure out what they were going to do in place of it. extended to december and now extended again and we still

aren't hearing enough about what it is going to look like after ward. >> julie: if you take a look at the border. if the administration were to vitas it, el paso, texas, for exae it's a humanitarian crisis. in texas we have this incredible video of illegal immigrants breaking into a house. it is just so dire, the circumstances, because there is absolutely lawlessness that is happening across the border. the border patrol agents are just absolutely overwhelmed. they lack the support they need in order to deter illegals from doing what you are seeing on the right side of your screen there. >> yes. the thing is, there aren't border patrol agents on the border in el paso right now. i was driving on a road called border highway in el paso last

week. i was there for five days. you see people who have come over the river and walking along the wall that went up under president trump and looking for a way to get in at the end. so what governor greg abbott has done here. he has put up a lot of razor wire, fencing. those things aren't deterring people, they are funneling people to an area where we are for sure apprehending them but once in custody you may be released into the united states. and asylum hearings are 6 or 8 years down the road and not even a requirement to seek asylum to be released into the country. >> julie: that was the whole point of title 42. for health concerns and when they cross into the border, the rule was that they separate them into groups and that eventually they are brought back into their country where they wait to be granted amnesty or have to wait in line. now they are just being released into the public. you also report the southern

border city of el paso that we're just talking about has spent just shy of $10 million in taxpayer money responding to the border crisis and giving aid to the tens of thousands of immigrants released onto its streets this year. why are they having to foot the bill? why are taxpayers having to foot this bill? >> it's not only el paso taxpayers who are footing it. congress has approved full reinforcement for the city of el paso. u.s. taxpayers will pick up the bill. last week i saw hundreds and hundreds of people on different city blocks in el paso living on the streets. it canceled the -- 1,000 cot facility where people can sleep and get off the street. i went to see it myself last week but i was escorted off the grounds by two security officers.

not been able to really see how the city is responding to this with my own eyes. >> julie: unrecognizable for those who are from el paso, texas. they don't know their own hometown anymore. anna, thank you for talking to us. happy new year. >> thanks. >> rich: north korean dictator with a threatening pledge for the new year, what it means for the escalating tension on the peninsula. house republicans are vowing to launch a flurry of investigations into hunter biden, the origins of covid-19. is there a potential for overreach? we ask former oversight committee chairman jason chaffetz coming up next. >> the origins of covid are very important as we have lessons learned, after-action review, what did we do right and what did we do wrong? none of this has been addressed in the way it should be.

an unthinkable genocide took the lives of six million jews and thousands of jewish survivors are still suffering in poverty today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word.

to these forgotten jews. the international fellowship of christians and jews urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. when you call right now, your gift's impact will be doubled to help save lives. no vitamins and no protein so my legs and hands are very weak. oh, oh, oh let's make sure that we bring them just a little bit of hope. by bringing them a little bit of food. for just $25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. when you call right now, your gift's impact will be doubled to help save lives. your support will provide them with a box overflowing with nourishing food and the knowledge that faithful christians

around the world care about them. god tells us to take care of them, to feed the hungry. and i pray holocaust survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive.

today. that's more than half its scheduled flights. the travel disruptions leave thousands of bags piled up at airports, unclaimed by travelers caught up in the chaos. southwest issued a second apology late last night as it faces growing scrutiny from its customers and officials in washington. fox business's lydia hu is live in new york city with more on this. lydia. >> those 2300 flights you mentioned is more than 95% of all flights that are canceled for today. as you mentioned, a second video apology issued by southwest last night this coming from the chief commercial officer ryan green >> all the flexibility and planning we put in place to deal with the storm just wasn't enough. so we've extended flexibility for self-service travel changes through january 2nd. >> the core use of voices saying this wasn't a surprise is

getting louder. four months before this debacle 38 attorney generals warning unless oversight from regulators at the department of transportation led by secretary buttigieg saying buttigieg's agency failed to respond and to provide appropriate recourse to thousands of consumer complaints about airlines' customer service. they added, quote, americans are justifiably frustrated that federal government agencies charged with overseeing airline consumer protection are unable or unwilling to hold the industry accountable. now buttigieg's performance as transportation secretary is under a micro scope as he faces criticism being slow to respond and not tough enough on airlines. house transportation committee member nancy mace is pointing to the $7.2 billion the airline received during the pandemic.

>> i want to hear pete buttigieg say he will audit and figure out where the $7 billion went that's southwest received from american taxpayers. >> as of right now southwest isn't releasing information about what's going to happen with tomorrow's flights yet. so far, rich, we aren't seeing the thousands of cancellations as we have for the past several days but we're keeping an eye on this. >> rich: julie. >> julie: gop lawmakers are talking about restricting woke policies when they take control next month. they will explain their plan. >> good morning, julie. republicans on the house judiciary committee are promising to investigate so-called woke investing, esg, the idea that investment groups take an investment climate and social impact into consideration

before putting money into an entity. it could be a violation of antitrust law. six republicans questioned them. esg is radical partisan activism masking as responsible governance. it may violate the nation's antitrust laws and relentless in investigating them. the idea was it protected investors from investing in things tied to the energy market. bloomberg reported earlier this month that in 2022 the ten largest esg funds posted double digit losses in early december including black rock's $20 billion, all under performing and lagging behind the s&p 500. republicans also say esg steered investment hurts u.s. energy, drives up investment for u.s. oil and gas and makes energy prices higher for everyone else.

>> that is a very significant issue as well. the whole esg thing. combine it with the moratorium on producing energy on federal lands, the lack of permitting, the administration is holding up permitting, litigation. they reduce the supply and drive up the cost of energy. >> esg crackdown is unlikely to pass congress. democrats maintain control of the senate. it is not stopping states from acting with their dollars. at least seven states announced plans to pull funds from black rock over concerns that they are putting climate over investors. julie. >> julie: thank you. >> rich: house republicans officially take control of the chamber in less than a week and the committees that come with it. party leaders are promising a flurry of investigations designed to serve as a check on the white house. let's bring in jason chaffetz former republican congressman once chairman of the house

oversight committee. he is also a fox news contributor. jason, look at this list that republicans have publicly mentioned of items they would like to look into. hunter biden's taxes, covid-19 origins, china's role in covid-19. afghanistan withdrawal, border handling, f.b.i. mar-a-lago raid. a pretty long list there. if you are looking at this list and you are still chairman of the house oversight committee, what do you focus on and what do you think republicans are going to get the most traction on? >> well, those are a good start right there but you have 22 committees in the house. all of them need to be involved and engaged in oversight. the oversight committee is solely focused on those things. since 1814 we have had this in place. democrats aren't going to like it. no doubt they have already start evidence to write the press releases seethes owe an overreach and they aren't legitimate and they will only

succumb to subpoenas that are legitimate and the legacy media will already start writing stories and op ed's being the republicans are overreaching. the problem is the precedent that democrats set in the 117th congress. >> rich: if you look at the house oversight committee and it has jurisdiction over a host of issues more than other committees on the hill. what is it like -- you know the dynamic of being a republican in a republican-controlled house trying to subpoena a democratic white house? how difficult is that and what kind of roadblocks are republicans going to run into as they try to look into these issues? >> well, issuing the subpoena is fairly easy. i did a couple dozen of them. one-page document and the chairman has unilateral authority. you don't need to get a committee, i would just issue an

the subpoena. as my former colleague trey gowdy pointed out it is only as good as it is the ability to enforce it. the biden department of justice would be the one to enforce it. i issued two subpoenas to hillary clinton's i.t. staffer at the state department to compel him to come to the committee. he just didn't show up and they never prosecuted or did anything. look at the speed and veracity they went after steve bannon when he didn't come before the committee. they were all too happy to get that done within days. so that will be the big question. will the subpoenas issued by jim jordan and james comer, will they be enforced by biden's department of justice? >> rich: do republicans have to be careful about how they divide it up? covid origins you have house oversight, oversociality committee chairmen are talking about looking into it.

you talk about democrats saying there is overreach but there is a concern that republicans either overreach or don't stay in their lanes where they are supposed to when it comes to these committees looking into the issues? >> they have to coordinate. you can't have seven committees doing the exact same thing. that coordination is fairly simple to do. the oversight committee has jurisdiction on everything everywhere. you may have 1 or 2 committees looking at some but the mal practice that happened in the 117th congress, they did nothing on the origins of covid. nothing on the border. they haven't had anything about the biden family business. they've done none of this. biden hasn't had a single oversight hearing yet and they're about to have a lot of them. >> rich: white house officials are preparing for that. jason chaffetz, congressman, thank you for joining us. >> julie: scary moments for

actress valerie bertinelli. she posted photos on instagram of would be burglars outside her home tuesday night. she said she is thinking of upping her security because of a string of robberies in her neighborhood. the video shows a man walking up a driveway while carrying two bags and a backpack. you can see him there. he then stopped to look around before turning around and walking away. bertinelli said another man showed up at her home an hour earlier. that's scary. >> rich: what's going on? >> julie: they have a big, beautiful house. people assume there are expensive things inside. there are brazen robbers out there because they assume the cops won't come get them because of the way that people have been disrespecting law enforcement. >> rich: or do they not know stars live there.

>> julie: it could be random. it says a lot about crime in this country. we aren't doing so well on that. >> rich: there are increasing calls for the justice department to look into a possible link between social media and the fentanyl crisis. while there is concern some apps like snapchat could be used to drive up sales of the deadly drugs to our nation's youth. who would have thought grapes could be the answer to finding love? more on the ritual that could land you a new mate in the new year coming up next. ♪ my daughter and i finally had that conversation. oh, no, not about that. about what comes next in life. for her. i may not be in perfect health, but i want to stay in my home, where my family visits often and where my memories are.
