"america reports" starts now. ♪ ♪ >> sandra: fox news alert now appeared after visiting iowa and florida, ron desantis is visiting another primary state with speculation growing over his 2024 presidential ambitions. he will have my enough fund-raising gala that is happening next month. >> john: continues to claim that the trips to battlegrounds to it are just part of the book tower, but is he using the visis a 2024 test run as a g.o.p. field gets more crowded? david and kevin are here to weigh in on the state of the

race for the white house coming in. >> bottom line. >> business as usual. >> all transactions are fully functional. thank you all. >> sandra: we begin with president biden today scrambling to restore confidence in america's banking system after the swift and sudden collapse of two banks that pumped in fears of a wider economic crisis, and a lot is unfolding at this hour. hello and welcome, everyone. i am sandra smith. grateful to start another week with you. john. >> john: it seems like every week there is something new. i'm john roberts in washington. this is "america reports." the president addressing the nation before the stock market open, assuring that their deposits are safe. taking emergency measures to contain the damage from two of america's largest firms. >> sandra: while the president

blames bank executives and republicans for the failure of silicon value bank and signature bank, critics say about the aggressive rate hikes meant to rain and rampant inflation inflation are having devastating consequences for the american economy. >> john: we've got a stacked lineup for you including mohamed el-erian. he also says that the meltdown is a sign of something even bigger down the road. >> sandra: buffers, dagen mcdowell and sean duffy are standing by. >> john: and mark is starting us off. mohamed el-erian with some words. but what about the president? so far has implicated the markets. >> relatively calm, but it has been a pretty volatile day of trading on wall street. still waiting to see what it will look like. the question of course, will look, last? the president calling for more

regulations to prevent future losses, but he also says the real responsibility lies with congress. >> i'm going to ask congress and the banking regulators to make it less likely that this kind of bank failure would happen again and to protect american jobs and small businesses. the bottom line is this. americans can rest assure that our banking system is safe. >> the president chose not to answer reporters questions while heading out of town. he will be in san diego about two and half hours from now. likely questions from the economy are going to follow him there. the decision to step in and guarantee these deposits, even those over the ordinary $250,000 amount, not a decision that was taken lightly. represented a systemic risk to the end and overall pure not being too critical of the administration's actions the chair and says that he still has confidence in the financial regulators. we are however hearing from

senator tim scott he is a little bit more critical. he says "building a culture of government intervention does nothing to stop future institutions from relying on the government to swoop then after taking excessive risks." the president says we will be taking steps to review the actions and that the management of these banks can expect to lose their jobs now that the government is stepping in. >> john: was this risk-taking? bad management? a combination of all of the above. >> there is certainly going to be an investigation. >> john: mark, thank you. >> sandra: dagen mcdowell, sean duffy are here. cannot wait to dig into this with you because at this hour i think there's a lot of people around the country who are asking themselves is my money safe? did i'm coming you say what? >> the government has stepped in to make all the depositors hold this what i will call tech road bank, ms crypto company bank,

signature bank know that frank is on the board there. because the depositors at these two banks have been made hole. the expectation is -- the depositors add virtually every other bank in the entire united states above the fdic insurance limit of $250,000 would be made whole by the government. that is just the de facto message sent. so deposit insurance is now to infinity. based on this move. these depositors at silicon valley bank should never have been made hole. what happened last week was run was triggered by venture capitalists and their portfolio companies, and then there were, you know, fear by the likes of bill ackman. and larry sumner's.

and other big venture capitalist. one of the individuals who caused this bank run. these rich people who were customers of silicon valley bank could have stepped up with the $2 billion in capital that this bank needed last week. so they were calling for all the said needs to step in and bail out this bank on twitter. all weekend. did we not learned from covid that you need to step back and think about the panic that people paddle and what the motives really are. these depositors, again, they would have gotten $0.95 on the dollar back. they just had to wait for the money, and they were not willing to wait. all they had to do is basically insulate the rest of the banking system. not these rich tech burros. >> sandra: what you are seeing just a moment ago there, the camera obviously went off the shot a bit, but live images outside of the bank. sort of reminiscent of the

financial crisis days, which has a lot of people asking is this a lehman brothers situation? to them, you say what? >> we don't know. i hope not. i talked to my small community bankers in wisconsin. if you did not back of the deposits, there could have been around on small and midsize banks all over the country and all the depositors would have gone to the too big to fail banks and made them really too big, whether it was chase or bank of america. you don't want that to happen in america. you want to make sure you have a healthy, small community bank. >> that is not true, sean. these are sophisticated companies. >> what you are not seeing the impact on small community banks. but joe biden blames the congress right now. you spend almost $7 trillion, print, borrow, and spend, drive interest rates to zero, then they are forced to come in and buy treasuries with no yields.

all of a sudden they are losing money on the bonds. they are in a really rough spot. this is a joe biden created scenario. and federal reserve, absolutely. do not take responsibility for yourself or bad fiscal policy, and then the fed with monetary policy. and you will not fix this until -- >> my point is these rich tech burros and companies did not need to be made whole to be made whole to protect all of these community banks. and separately, the federal reserve put in a facility for a year that any bank in the country can take their underwater treasury securities to the federal reserve and get the money at face value and not realize any losses. so the banking system is protected. to your original point, fully

protected right now. but this is a bank that was like handing out perks to all of these tech founders, and these vcs. like oh, jet loans. you need a loan on your house? you need some liquid for a $20 million house or $30 million house? or are they doing? you were paying fdic insurance on deposits up to $250,000, so you were really making reckless decisions and not paying to have all of your deposits covered, and the ceos and executives were getting paid for it. >> sandra: what i think is fascinating at this moment when you look at markets, by the way, just a few moments ago, it has gone off to a rough start right away, 6:00 trading on the futures market last night. there was a bit of a relief rally, then a sell off, then i bounce back a few you could see the green on the screens, and now we have gone back into

negative. and as i speak, it is now up 20 points. it is a market that is trying to anticipate what is next. mohamed el-erian is coming up. he is highlighting what is a huge change in the fed fund futures market. sounds like we are getting into the weeds, but essentially the market is now telling us that, rather than pricing and a possibility of rates going up higher and faster, which is what you most recently heard from the federal reserve chair, that this market is now pricing in rates possibly staying the same or even getting cut by end of year. that is a remarkable change that is happening in just a matter of years. >> damage has been done by the federal reserve. this is the fastest rate raising campaign in history. >> sandra: possibly one of the biggest policy mistakes -- >> this calamity over the weekend, this is the first disaster in the first act of what will be a rolling financial

crisis. lehman brothers was the last calamity. >> you are still going to have inflation -- >> sandra: let me add one thing. all of these banks should have been raising their deposit rates for regular customers in the last year, but they didn't because they wanted to squeeze regular folks for that last drop of profit. and shame on them. >> sandra: more on them coming up here at mohamed el-erian will be joining us. sean, dagan, thank you. we will see you tonight. john. >> john: if you thought dagan was hot about this, ask whether it is tomato or vinegar. and then you will really know. >> sandra: perfect. >> john: more on this coming up here biden pushing ahead with a massive oil drilling project in alaska. the president signing off on the drilling project. has got the potential to produce more than 600,000 barrels of

crude oil over the next 30 years. activists are slamming them move here they say opposes an environmental threat. what appears to be an attempt to appease those critics, announcing an indefinite block of 16 million acres -- any future fossil fuel drilling's. so we get willow but nothing else besides that. [chanting] >> sandra: fox news exclusive new video showing the dramatic moments when hundreds of migrants tried to force their way over the border into the u.s. over the weekend. at least 1,000 race to cross a bridge, before being blocked by border patrol. live in texas for us, what prompted that rush? >> sandra, good afternoon to you. according to some of the migrants we talk to, they were told some false information on

social media. there was a facebook post going around telling migrants that if they showed up to the bridge yesterday and they had children with them, they would be let into the united states, and the video shows the result of a false rumor going around. let's pull it up one more time here at fox news exclusive image showing when this first began. masses of hundreds of migrants pushed past mexican border guards and run onto the bridge in el paso, one of the main ports of entry viewed you can hear a lot of them cheering, thinking they were going to get into the united states. running out of that bridge in an effort to get into the u.s., but they were met in the middle of the bridge by a cvp skirmish line set up where the barricades and barbed wire and dozens of cvp officers in crowd control gear. we are told they called in mobile response teams and a special response team as well to try to repel those people, but there was a standoff in the middle of the bridge for several hours. they close the port of entry,

and you can see the mexican military responded as well. a couple lines of mexican soldiers were patrolling the mexican side of the bridge. the camera will turn around, and you will see the u.s. response. it was a very significant one with, again, a skirmish line, physical barricades, barbed wire. not something we are typically used to seeing at a port of entry anywhere along the southern border, telling fox they set that up in response to "a large group of individuals formed on the mexican side of the border and approach the international border, posing a potential threat to make a mess entry. the cvp response included the deployment of physical barriers to restrict entry, and back out here live, they say they had to actually close down and barricade two other bridges in el paso yesterday for the same reason. they started seeing on their cameras on the other side of the river, migrants were gathering at those other bridges. there were concerns that there could be rushes, so pretty

hectic situation in el paso yesterday, but it sounds like cvp for the most part repelled everybody who tried to come across that bridge. >> sandra: bill, thank you. >> john: basically says have a good trip. a former st. louis detective blowing the whistle on kim gardiner. why he says she put him on a list that kept him from pursuing cases. leo terrel says it is another reason he needs to get the boot. he will join us. >> sandra: ron desantis says his visits are just part of his tour, but is it really a 2024 test run? we will ask david and kevin. they are up next. >> we got a great response across two different cities, and i think people look and they sem we have a deficit of leadership in this country. ♪ ♪ oina no. he's making real-time money moves with merrill. so no matter what the market's doing, he's ready. and that's... how you collect coins.

♪ ♪ >> john: speculation swirling around a possible presidential watch for florida governor ron desantis. next month he is headed to new hampshire as part of his book to her. so what could this mean for the state of the presidential race. let's bring in david avella, kevin walling. good to be with you. so, donald trump is in davenport today. desantis was there on friday. trump promising a more disciplined campaign from an organizational standpoint. i've got to say, desantis is looking very strong. >> he's making two very smart moves. following the move which is stay focused on your message. don't engage with president trump. don't engage with others. just stay focused on your message. second thing is being a good

governor beshear to billion-dollar tax cuts. going after reform this year. putting more funding in the environment with the everglades, making sure the border is protected. two smart moves. stay focused on your own mes message. be a good governor. >> john: in terms of focus, desantis has asked at every turn if he is going to be running. he was on "saturday morning futures" with maria bartiromo. what is the indication? here's what he said. >> first indication that we've got a great book that people are buying. a lot of interest. governor kim reynolds is a friend of mine. >> john: a lot of people are saying that kim reynolds could be his running mate, but here's the thing. it's okay to stay focused on yourself for now, but at some point, he's going to have to take on the big one. >> he's given every indication privately to donors, folks in

the party that he is running, but he's in a very envious position. he's got the cover of this book tour. >> john: almost like he planned that. >> i think he is actually forcing donald trump's hand. he announced back in november it's been 118 days since that announcement, and donald trump is going to iowa for the first time today, going, as you just said, to the same town the ron desantis was in, and he's talking about education, one of the key areas he has made a name for himself on. so i think the president, the former president is playing catch up to ron desantis. it's going to be a really strong race between these two individuals. >> john: it is more like a washington, d.c., parlor game as to who is running and who is n not. and at some point, republicans are going to have to make a decision. who do we think is best position to beat biden?

marquette law school poll found that desantis beats by 45-38. reuters poll found 41-38. a number of polls showed trump feeding biden as well. he looks like he is in a weak position compared to just a few months ago. >> no question about that. unfortunately for the president, as the economy continues to stagger along and we see fumble after a fumble which started with the pull out of afghanistan, his administration has never really recovered from that. voters are going to be looking for what alternatives are out there, and whether it be president trump or with desantis or the others, who is best going to push the agenda that republicans want to see? talking about the parlor games, also an interesting factor going on here. if president trump wanted to stop ron desantis, he would make sure the law they are considering right now that would

require desantis to drop out of being governor, he would make sure that bill does not get past, but the legislature is probably going to pass it. >> john: looking at biden, there is also this idea that he's going to be 82 years old, come election night. donald trump will not be far behind him. a few years behind him. desantis will be 47. when you take a look at the potential age difference comparison here, people looking at a young candidate like ron desantis and say that is the future of america. not an 82-year-old. >> i think that is certainly an issue at play. use on nikki haley make a real stand on that, making the generational argument. and i think if donald trump is the nominee, he is up double digits. that age argument, do your point, goes away, but if it is ron desantis, nikki haley, even mike pence, they can make the generational argument

against the president. >> john: we've got a lot to follow -- because >> just 600 days away. >> john: they go pretty quickly. the older you get, the faster time goes by. that is what i have found. >> sandra: don't put your shovel away just yet. forecasters not tracking the potential or a powerful nor'easter. just what you needed appeared off the coast of new england. how will it impact your work, travel, and lives? >> john: president biden saying that the banking system is safe. but some investors say the administration is not doing enough. we will ask two economists who advised robert a bottom. robert wolf and mohamed el-erian. he will explain what he sees as one of the biggest federal reserve policy mistakes of all time. ♪ ♪ navy is a navy wife. and if you've made the deployments and you've been the wife at home, or you■ve been the spouse at home,

now. people in the northeast bracing for a powerful nor'easter likely to bring heavy snowfall and powerful winds to several states along the atlantic ocean and could shut down travel for millions of americans. live at new york's laguardia airport with the very latest for us. what is it looking like there? >> so far, so good. not seeing any massive amount of flight delays are cancellations, but this is expected to be yet another headache for american flyers. you don't have to go back to you think of other headaches. had to cancel two-thirds of its flights because of staffing and technology issues. a few weeks after that, the first full ground stop since 9/11 because of a pilot alert system outage. just in the past feelings, we have had several near misses, but looking into some of those with good conditions, so safety is definitely a top concern. take a look at the flight board here at laguardia.

john, you can see it looks pretty normal. about a dozen delays. no cancellations to report right now if you're to give you the most up-to-date numbers, 23% of spirit flights are delayed. southwest and delta both at 11%, but these numbers are expected to get worse as the severe weather roles and overnight and into tomorrow and wednesday. take a look at this video, this nor'easter expected to have severe impacts. a lot of snow in the end. and the wind impacting all areas of the northeast, including costs, and these airlines operate with a small margin for error. generally once you start using gues, and these airlines operate one or two, a few delays, you start to see an exponential increase pretty quickly. back out here alive, john, the airline industry set a record for the most flight delays and cancellations. passengers are nervous when they go to the airport now, hoping that 2023 will be a little bit

better. so far today, the number is not too staggering. just over 100 cancellations. that is not too high, but we will see how we fear in the next 18 to 36 hours. >> john: if christmas week proved anything, little margin for error becomes a huge problem for millions of people. it was updated. thank you. continuing to fox weather by downloading the free app. you can also use your phone to scan that beautiful little qr code on the right-hand side of your screen. >> sandra: john, thank you. quick look at the markets. more than halfway through the trading day as markets open a brand-new week following the meltdown of the spv. looking at markets basically searching for direction. they were up nearly an hour or so ago. that is in anticipation of perhaps the fed will have to slow down. but now it is hovering right around the flat line.

our next guests advised for obama. let's bring in mohamed el-erian and robert wolf. robert, i always say we go to you a lot on politics, but you ran one of the largest banks in this country for quite some time and managed it through the financial crisis, so your voice is very important here. and mohamed el-erian, you as well. this sound from the republican from louisiana this morning. he ties president biden's inflationary policies to the bank's collapse. listen to this. >> this is a direct result of the biden inflationary policy. inflation is going up. the fed has to raise rates, and these banks are being caught in the undertow, so go back to his 1.9 trillion dollar kind of blowing out the budget, and you draw a straight line to the signature going down. >> sandra: robert, do you

agree with that? >> totally disagree. sbv is in the situation they are in because they miss match assets and liabilities. no one did not know that rates were going to raise, and they wanted to achieve bigger profits. their equity one from -- >> sandra: wait, hold on. everyone knows rates are going up. >> right, so prices go down. their equity one from 40 billion to 13 billion. their assets went from -- they needed to make profits. they took different risks, but longer term treasuries and mortgages, and there was a run on the bank, and mohamed will talk to about digital finance, but it's something we've never seen. you can withdraw $40 billion in an hour appeared >> sandra: he is suggesting that this is a whole new ball game now. because of the speed by which information travels, whether it is digital media, social media. voices like bill ackman got out there right away. he spooked a lot of people by saying that if the feds don't

step in and short of these losses in the next 48 hours, there's going to be a complete collapse of the american financial system. is that what is so different this time around? how do you see it? >> that is certainly part of it. in the old days, you had to line up, and it took a lot of time. there was a limit to how much money you can pull out. nowadays, you do it on an app, and we saw a massive flight of deposits out of the bank peered at speeds we have never seen before. so yes, there is something different. but if you are going to point the finger of blame, pointed at the banks, but you also point and at a lack of supervision. when a bank grows that quickly, it should grab the supervisor's attention. the federal reserve. an monetary policy, which was too loose for too long that encourage the sort of excessive risk-taking, and then we had to slam on the brakes because we

were late in addressing inflation, so there is blame to be shared, but i agree with robert. it is not pointed out the administration, but at the fed and the bank itself. >> sandra: here is a democrat. saying that the biden administration is not acting quickly enough. listen to this. >> i think it is just right now things move at the speed of twitter, and the government does not move at that speed, and i think they don't realize what the problem could be and how fast money is moving and the challenge this could be. >> sandra: you that is obviously before biden stepped in this morning, but there are many saying that he did not act quickly enough. for what has been months and years now of inflation with this administration. so while mohamed still calls this one of the greatest federal reserve policy mistakes of all time, a lot could have been done a lot sooner to prevent something like this. >> two things.

mohamed and i have been on the same page years, that inflation was not transitory and that the fed was too slow on rates, both ways. i spoke to them all weekend. he wanted a guaranteed two deposits, and that is what they ended up doing. i think were going down a slippery slope. bill and i have had a little exchange, but the idea that we want all regional and community banks to now have guaranteed deposits, they have become a utility. therefore we have to look at their risk, their profit capability. it's fine if we want to go that way, but you can't keep having a bailout just because a bank like sbv -- in my opinion, totally mismanaged. two days before, they could have raised $2 billion in a nanosecond. >> sandra: let me get one final thought from mohamed. >> he is right. we have now made the whole deposit insurance hostage to you this one bank, but i fear that

you cannot put the genie back in the bottle. politically, it's going to be impossible not to have this same full, unlimited deposit guarantee to all banks. >> sandra: that is a big warning, mohamed. >> it is, but once you do it for one bank, it is hard not to do it for another. are you going to say that they were special? that has political issues with that, so we ended up being forced to change policy over the weekend. i don't think they had a choice, by the way. they did not have a choice. the u.k. ended up doing in the same way, through a private sector solution, but they also guaranteed all the deposits, so there was no choice. the problem is we should not be here. and that is a longer conversation. >> sandra: we will have you back very soon on that, mohamed. just to highlight as we have seen the markets uncertainty, the financials in the u.s. stock market are getting hit severely

hard today. different situation with shareholders. of course they take on that risk on their own, but there are banks that are feeling a lot of pain in this moment. mohamed and robert, thank you very much to both of you for joining us. appreciate h. >> john: disturbing new information coming out of the centers for disease control on the number of teenage girls in america who attempted suicide last year. forced isolation from the pandemic lockdowns played a part. plus, this. >> so, you invite me to speak here and heckle me nonstop. i am just asking for -- [yelling] >> your racism is showing! >> sandra: shouted down by a mob of liberal stanford students and be rated by a school administrator, issuing a dire warning about the rule of law in this country. the university apologized. jonathan turley says it is

>> i would tell young people to stay away from -- it's an honorable job and position. an honorable calling. but with everything that's going on right now, i have a lot of family members, they are going to retire out of the system. they would not tell their family, their young ones to going to being a police officer. it is not worth it. >> john: wow. some straight talk there. speaking out over the criminal chaos flag in his beloved city and claiming he left the horse after kim gardiner placed them on an infamous exclusion list which bars officers from carrying out police work. this as gardiner fights off efforts from the missouri attorney general to remove her from office over neglecting her duties. let's bring in leo terrel, fox news contributor. happy monday to you. so, this exclusion list that kim gardiner has, apparently her

office admits to it and says it is to keep police officers who are deemed untrustworthy or biased off cases. what do you say? >> i say she's absolutely wrong. i tell you why. if these officers are so bad, they are still allowed to work. take them to a judge. let them have due process. but kim gardiner, basically soft on crime, makes an arbitrary list, and these individual officers can do their jobs. they cannot go out and testify in court, prepare documents. this is all wrong. that officer has a spot on he or she is a george soros prosecutor, and she needs to be replaced, john. >> john: roger was on the force for 26 years. he left in late 2021. he says that he was placed on that blacklist and claimed that she has made a concerted effort to break down the system.

he told fox news digital, this was a political effort by her aunt had nothing to do with bias. if it was true, as you suggest, that it was biased, take me in front of a judge. show proof that i am biased. she has not done that. he claims that he was blackballed because he criticized her on twitter. if you do criticize somebody who oversees your career, typically not a great career move, but should you be blackballed for doing it? >> absolutely not. kim gardner has not accepted the challenge of taking this officer in front of a court. there is other officers who are being denied this opportunity, but here's the secret. kim gardner is influenced by the institute of justice. they take the assumption that the system is systemically racist. i've said this ever since i've been a fox contributor. how can the system be racist? she's the d.a. she's a person of color.

what they do now, looking at a criminal prior history. when they present their case to a court, they ignore the criminal history. that's how you have career criminals. she's doing everything to comply with this institute that basically believes that the system is a racist that only black people are ones who are a victim of the system here it is not true. she's been there for eight years, john. >> john: you are on the same page, reporting on this soros connection. fox news digital said that gardiner was implementing policies that would shrink the criminal justice systems footprint in st. louis in coordination with the institution of justice that you mention. and that is what roger murphy suggests is that she is putting so much pressure on these police officers back, like him, they are saying the job is not worth it. i'm not going to do it anymore. st. louis has lost a tremendous

number of officers, but that is by design. according to murphy. >> absolutely. let me simply sum it up by saying kim gardner makes the assumption that if a person of color commits a crime, its racism. how? john, the systemic racism card that democrats, george soros will never let it go because it drives division. what she is basically saying is i am not going to prosecute people because of skin color. not the crime come about skin color. what about the victim, john? we don't talk about the victim because kim gardner wants criminals to come in and feel comfortable in her city. she needs to be impeached not today, yesterday. >> john: really surprising, after what happened to lori lightfoot. good to see you. i hope you enjoy the rest of your week. sandra. >> sandra: after a pair of
