jimmy, thank you very much. hour two of "fox & friends" started seven seconds ago. [laughter] >> lawrence: we begin this hour with a fox news alert. at least 10 more hostages are expected to be released today as the cease-fire between israel and hamas is extended until wednesday. >> ainsley: for the last two hours smoke clouds have been filling the gaza skyline. this comes as we receive new images reunited with their family. >> brian: nine children released bringing the total to 51 over the last four days. >> steve: trey yingst is live in tel aviv where it is 2:00 in the afternoon. trey? >> yeah, hey, guys. good morning. it is day five of the cease-fire between israel and hamas. it is expected to be extended for at least another day. and just last night 11 more israelis were released. they were flown here to the hospital in tel aviv. nine of them are children. all of them still have fathers

being being held inside gaza. the israelis were taken hostage from a small community that sits along the gaza border. officials are hopeful another 10 additional hostages will be released as part of this broader cease-fire agreement. it's the families reuniting though that really stands out amid this past weekend. you can see this video here of the family as they were reunited with their dog. these kids just look overjoyed to finally be with their loved ones again. and some other very difficult news to report as families wait for similar reunions, still not able to get them yet, the beiber bass family stands out among that list. four members of the family. including a 10-month-old baby currently being held inside gaza, the aunt of their mother earlier on "fox & friends" saying this it's crazy. it's crazy just thinking about it. we are waiting hopelessly, trying to remain positive every

day counts for that baby. it's been almost two months. he was nine months when he was kidnapped. he is going to be 11 months. it's crazy. >> trey: it's been 53 days of war. the longest war in the i had history of israel and gaza. closest was 51 days in 2014. that baby stands out amid this story. he is a symbol brutality inflicted on october 7th. again, not expected to be ons list today of those released from gaza. >> ainsley: trey, i'm hearing some of the kidnappers are not -- not only are they transferring who hamas has taken and the baby and the baby's family to another terrorist organization. but i'm also hearing that other people who they were calling civilians which juiced loosely i should call them kidnappers. went over the border and kidnapping israelis. i heard on her network if you kidnapped an israeli you can go back to hamas with that individual and they will pay you for them. is that true?

>> yeah. absolutely. and that is the real concern here for qatari and egyptian negotiators as they look at some sort of path forward. there's an understanding this cease-fire could be extended if hamas is able to come up with 10 hostages a day to exchange for prisoners in israel. the issue here though is that hamas doesn't control all of the hostages there are groups like islamic jihad. some of the smaller organizations like plfp and dflp in gaza as well as families in the strip that could be holding hostages. hamas doesn't have control of them. they don't know where some of them are it really raises concerns for israeli authorities where it puts them in a position they can't put pressure in the negotiations because hamas doesn't have these hostages under their control. >> brian: do you believe because that's one of the questions i asked efat. i said, do you believe that hamas is calling the shots? if they say that they don't have your family and she says they rule with such an iron fist there. they are in control of

everything that's n not how you are portraying it. >> trey: i. have reported inside gaza nine years multiple times met with people like islamic jihad. some of these smaller groups, are actually, if you can believe it, are more brutal and more ruthless than hamas. they don't have political wings. simply military things commit terror attacks. so, you shutter to think of what is being done to think what is being done israelis 53 days in this conflict being held inside gaza. >> steve: yesterday during your report you showed video of elon musk, the world's richest man, meeting with the prime minister benjamin and then among other things they were talking about recognize of stem on social media and trying to get a hanel on that. i see in the papers over there today that one of the things he,

elon musk told bibi netanyahu was when the war is over, he will help rebuild gaza. how is that being greeted? >> trey: it's certainly being accepted here. there is an understanding they can't leaf the gaza strip with more than 2 million people to deteriorate. the world health organization is warning that more people can die from disease during and after the war inside gaza than from the conflict itself. it will cost billions of dollars to rebuild gaza. it's something the israelis are not going to shoulder on their own. it was accepted by the israelis. but i will say something that really stood out among officials we talked to that elon musk did when he was here yesterday. he didn't just meet with prime minister benjamin netanyahu but also herzog and even the family members of those being held hostage. but he was given a necklace. a necklace that so many people across israel wearing today it says "bring them home." it's a dog tag a symbol of hope

and reminder each and every day to not forget the hostages. elon told israeli officials that he would continue to wear this necklace until all of their loved ones were brought home. and i think that meant a lot to the israeli people. this is a conflict that has hit so close to home for many. it's something that people have to live with each and every day as to continue to exist amid this conflict. 53 days into it. >> lawrence: trey, yifat was on the program. i asked her you are aware that hamas is being able to regroup. so how do you balance wanting to get your loved ones back home and still wanting to disseminate hamas? on the ground in israel, what do you think the split is? is there pressure on the prime minister right now to get the hostages back or to return to the battlefield? >> there's a lot of pressure.

before i get there, i do want to show you one of these tags that elon musk was given yesterday, it says bring them home now. and when you walk through the streets of tel aviv the way we have done the past few days, it's something that you see people wearing they are trying to ensure that the world doesn't forget what happened here these tags are actually tags that soldiers would normally wear. there is a perforation in the middle, because if you were killed in battle they would break these tags in halve of half and one half to the family and one to the family. they are familiar with here that served in the army. as for the future in this conflict and where it heads. we should talk about the political pressure that the israeli administration is facing right now. prime minister benjamin netanyahu there is understanding on the ground that once the diplomatic channels dry up and they are unable to get any more hostages out of gaza, that the ground and air campaign against hamas will continue. and there are real questions and important questions today about

how the israelis will operate. they have told more than 2 million palestinians to head to the southern part of the strip. but, much of the hamas leadership and the fighters still in gaza, thousands of them, are hiding among the civilian population. and so israel will continue to face criticism for the rising civilian death toll as they go after hamas leadership in southern gaza. >> steve: trey, thank you very much for summarizing what is going on over there right now. >> ainsley: earlier in the show we talked to the great aunt of the youngest hostage. we keep hearing about the 10 moneld baby that was kidnapped. and this baby has a name. his name is kfir, he has younger brother. mom and dad and all four of them were taken. we interviewed the family members over the last month and a half. here is the baby, here is kfir. the baby's great aunt was on with us, her name is yifat, who we keep talking about. she had a very powerful interview. we were able to ask her so many

different questions about what they are going through and what the status is over there. here's a portion of that interview. >> i was born and raised in israel. on one side of this conflict and i always educate myself and i learn but, at the end of the day, even if there were mistakes during history, i would never raise my children to say that someone is deserved to die, someone's not deserving his rights. to exist. i will never ever stand behind a group that kidnapped children and i don't know, it's early morning and probably the children watching the screen so i don't want to discuss all the brutal acts that were made and done. those committed by hamas on october 7th. i won't change anyone's political point of view, but a

child is a child. >> brian: that was in response to your question about how would anybody rip a hostage paper off a wall or off a light pole like we were seeing yesterday two arrests because of it. and some of them were of this 9 #-month-old in captivity and people walking up i'm pro-hamas. i'm pro-palestinian. i'm going to rip this off. and this is happening on constantly on college campuses and in major cities like this one. >> steve: i will tell you what, brian, yesterday, last night in oakland, california, as it turns out, the city council passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire. i believe it was 8-0. and then somebody brought up a motion let's condemn hamas. and do you know what? it failed. 6-2. oakland, california. >> lawrence: made it clear where they stand on the street on this issue. we need the president of the united states to step up on this matter. i know there is photos going all

around had and videos of what going on in gaza. you have got understand that the terror organization is all over in civilian locations. i just want us to be mindful because america is going to have to do this at some point when we're attacked again. there was not a lot of foes in afghanistan or iraq. certain things happen in war. suspects not right we don't like civilians get hurt, children get hurt. these are the casualties that happen when you have a terror organization that uses people as human shields. so the next time america is attacked and we have to go to war and they start circulating photos and videos of that i hope we have the same position. >> brian: they might have the same position these anti-american attitude so pervasive i believe that soon these people will be taking knees against us. >> lawrence: rear dickless. >> brian: and stopping bridges from having traffic because it seems to be anti-american behavior. please tell me what the. >> ainsley: october #th.

when they went into israel, everything changed. israel, what did you expect for them not to fight back? they have to. they have no choice. >> steve: it's existential. >> ainsley: they will do it again and again and they said they would. >> brian: were were the protests prior to october 7th. where from the support for hamas are prior to october 7th? it was nowhere. there is something financing this. you don't go out and pick the palestinian cause because it's complicated. it's not wow, i don't like police officers. whether you agree with it or not. i understand that's your stance to understand the palestinian situation go back to 1920. go back to 1 b.c. go back to world war ii to figure out where you stand on this. you can't just wake up one day and give me some otag let me make a sign. >> steve: it's certainly going on and we're talking about it. lawrence, you were talking about the president of the united states. the number one issue according to a brand new bloomberg morning consult poll with swing voters, the number one issue is the

economy. and everybody is feeling the pinch. you know, as it turns out, prices have gone down, but because of inflation they haven't returned to where they were before the pandemic bloomberg did the math you are not going to like this. >> ainsley: if you went to the grocery store before the pandemic filled up that cart. go to the grocery store everything is 100 bucks. if you do that today the same groceries and you take them to the register, look how much you are going to pay now. going to have to have basically an extra 20 bucks to pay for same groceries. everything is going up. even if you get a pay raise at work it's gobbled up by inflation. inflation is so high. housing affordability is the worst on record. auto loan rates have soared because of inflation and because of the interest rates. borrowing with a credit card has never been so expensive. >> steve: it's all across the board. yesterday, i went to the grocery store last night and i picked up a bottle of ketchup. a medium bottle of ketchup. >> ainsley: how much? >> steve: $6. >> lawrence: that's ridiculous.

>> ainsley: save the packs when you get food in the green room. save the ketchup pack. >> steve: brian, one more little detail. hamburger which is a staple. hamburger is a protein, $6 a pound. and here's the thing. and i know the white house is very concerned about the price of things. joe biden will not be reelected president if hamburger is $6 a pound. america cannot survive on $6 hamburger, period. >> brian: here is why, steve. it's not just the hamburger. it hurts hamburger helper. who is going to buy hamburger helper if hamburger is too hard. >> steve: need hamburger helper because that stretches the hamburger. >> brian: good point. thank goodness for the heinz people yes the kerry people for making ketchup squeezable you no longer have to hit the bottom or the side. that saves a lot. slap it right out of your hand because you are determined to get the rest of the ketchup out of the bottom. i will say this. how is it that the president of

the united states uses this opportunity to get mad at people for not understanding how good the economy is and then blame maga republicans and corporations greedy corporations for the price of things right now. not the money he is spending of ours to force inflation up and devaluing the dollar. >> lawrence: president's energy policy, if you go to the "new york times." i love this argue. could biden's clean energy push be a victim of its own success? the doubling down on this. they are saying that the president, because he was so good at it, that the demand is up, because all these people are buying ev cars apparently, they are not. >> brian: except for ford that doesn't want to make them anymore. >> lawrence: victim of own success. >> steve: peter doocy was in the front row at the white house yesterday. the reason hamburger is approaching $6 a pound. wait for it. watch. >> so here's the thing. when we walked into this administration, the economy was on a tail -- a tail spin.

that is the fact. because of the last administration, because of the trump administration, because of how they dealt with -- dealt with covid and the pandemic, because they didn't have a comprehensive plan. >> peter: almost three years in office, inflation is up over 17% since president biden came here. and you are saying that's still trump fault. >> inflation is moderating because of the actions that this president is taking. because. >> peter: prices are going up slower they are still high. >> lawrence: campaign message. >> steve: blame trump. >> lawrence: we weren't able to make things better over the last four years even though we promised that we were. it's all because of donald trump. >> brian: if you asked donald summers rescue treasury secretary. >> ainsley: natural gas up 29%. electricity up 25%. groceries up 25%. restaurant food up 24%. and if you want to buy a used car, it's up 35%. >> steve: the average price of a

monthly car payment in america now is 73 # dollars. this is for the average car. >> ainsley: how can the average family afford that. >> lawrence: interest rates. >> brian: don't go buy a car because you have got finance it and the interest rates are too high. >> steve: this is why it's the number one issue with voters. and joe biden had better do something about it. >> brian: you are hurting hamburger helper by hurting hamburger that's what i get from. this. >> steve: that's actually helping hamburger helper sale. >> brian: because hamburger is more expensive looking. >> ainsley: don't get as much meat because you got the noodles not just a hamburger. >> brian: pizza flavored hamburger who thought that's the engineers. >> ainsley: the problem with mila saniya i have to use two facts of meat i like it really meaty. >> lawrence: i do too, ainsley. >> ainsley: more shop. >> brian: when you were shopping with sean did you notice these prices so high?

>> lawrence: yes i did. that's the great thing traveling with sean hannity. >> brian: let's get top sirloin i'm on "primetime." >> lawrence: i was going to pay but he said i got. this. >> brian: i have the morning salary. >> ainsley: that's why the waiters like to wait on him. 100 percent tip. >> steve: 7:18 here in the east coast. and a fox news alert. reporter from the "wall street journal" evan gershkovich, who was arrested in russia on poje espionagecharges has his detentd through january. >> brian: unbelievable. >> steve: latest on news breaking overnight coming up. >> brian: january 30th. the situation at the border off the rails. wild in the video show hundreds of migrants riding on top of a train bound for texas, i know. >> ainsley: shocking scenes from chinese hospitals overwhelmed by patients with respiratory illnesses. dr. marc siegel joins us on that. >> brian: here we go again. not wearing a mask. ♪ l become a legend.

china i want to say this bhure hear hospitalized and w.h.o. is telling you everything is okay and china is saying no problem. well, here in the united states, excuse us if we don't necessarily believe any of that because we have been lied to by china and w.h.o. has carried water for them and did so with the pandemic; however, having said that having said that, steve. i think we are experiencing in china what we experienced here last year which is something called immune pause. >> remember they locked down all through 2022. you relieve the lockdowns and upper respiratory viruses, rsv, covid come roaring back. one more thing the journal of nature has a tremendous article over this week about a bug called micro plasma a bacteria. guess what they were doing in china. they are flooding this bacteria

with a z pack. when you give a z pack to too many people you get a resistant microplasma and can you end up in the hospital. is our answer here you take what the w.h.o. says with a green of salt you said. to the point earlier, dr. siegel, before you went over to italy, you saw you have seen in the united states people with particularly i was talking to our emt doctor everybody who is going to his office has like laryngitis or trachites i think is what he called it is that something that is new is this something we see every year at this time? >> it's new and i saw a lot of it, too rsv is rampant this

year. there is a lot of strep around and we have a shortage of antibiotics for strep. amoxicillin especially. we are seeing that. if you are going to your emt and have that raspy throat. he or she needs to test to you make sure you don't have strep. because that's thing we can really treat. we can treat microplasma and strep. if you are in a high risk group by the way over the age of 60, 65, you should be getting your pneumonia shot and we also have rsv shot out and flu. these are things you need to talk to your doctor about and get to the right decision. >> steve: dr. marc siegel on the road today. sir, thank you very much for joining us live. >> save me some lasagna, ainsley and you too, steve. thank you. >> steve: yes, sir. coming up, unbelievable video a 12-year-old -- a 12-year-old is leading cops on a wild chase after stealing a forklift. how did he get the keys?

>> lawrence: so new data suggesting president biden could have a serious problem with young voters next year. look at this recent nbc news poll finding biden trailing trump 42-46 among voters 18 to 34. and almost always dependable voting block for democrats. the "new york times" says this trend should be taken seriously, quote: the problem for mr. biden isn't too few young democrats. it's that many young democrats don't like him. let's bring in our gen z voter panel republican voter cage sawyer and independent voter alexandria chun. let's go to you first, alexandria. what do you think joe biden is doing wrong right now. >> good morning, lawrence, thank you so much for having me on. >> lawrence: a pleasure. >> across the board, it is so important to realize that in 2020 joe biden was supported heavily by young voters from 18

to 34 who turned out to vote for him. right now this demographic is so largely disappointed with the job that president biden has done regardless of political affiliation. i mean, from his age to his depriorityization of the issues that matter most to gen z. i think people are just so disengaged with the biden campaign. >> lawrence: cage, the vice president said she loves you guys. this is what she said in houston texas watch. >> i started a college tour at the beginning of in september to go out and meet with our college-aged leaders. and so there were colleges and universities, also community colleges and also trade schools. college-aged. and let me start by saying i love gen z. i love gen z. >> lawrence: i guess the question is, cage, do you love them back? lawrence, always good to talk to a fellow texan. thanks for having me on this

morning. i think kamala harris may love gen z i don't think gen z loves kamala harris. education board past may. my job every single day to talk to young students. i can tell you now the young students and young alumni in this country particularly texas and the south are very concerned with the economy. their credit cards are high and they can't afford a home. if they try to start a business regulatory red tape is stopping them from anything. kamala harris can keep her talk to herself. she is a career attorney who has probably never talked to a student herself. >> lawrence: so true. alexandria, what do you think about that, the struggling young people. i talked to several friends who thought they would be able to get their first house but because of the interest rates and the economy, they just can't do it. that's part of the american dream, right in will to this economy housing prices everything across the board. i don't think that any young american is very pleased with

the job that joe biden has done. >> it looks like democrats have shot themselves in the feet. they are not going to vote for the democrats. they will stay home. what do republicans need to do to bring them to their side? >> first and foremost, joe biden has an ace in the hole with his student loan forgiveness program. i hate to say it the student i talked, to the young people i talked to, this is very, very attractive to conservative students, conservative young people to liberal young people, donald trump has to match. this say 10,000 and $1 or something. at this point we are playing political trick or treat handing out everything. but donald trump, if he wants to turn support right now and momentum right now to a finger touching a voting machine on the first tuesday of next november in 2024 he has to attack the issue of student loans. young people are so concerned with this. honestly they feel like they have been given a sham degree. half these degrees are not worth the paper they are written on.

fox business correspondent madison alworth joins us live from eagle pass, texas with the details. madison? >> good morning, ainsley. you know, the physical toll of the migrant crisis is very evident here in eagle pass with the barbed wire behind me. that financial toll as you just mentioned coming into focus. the house homeland committee majority has a new report showing that the annual cost $451 billion per year. now, that's to care and to house known asylum seekers as well as the known got-aways. here in texas, they are trying to cut down on that got away number. the dps texas brush team took us out on patrol last night and we were able to ride along as they looked for those that were trying to sneak into the country illegally. 30 minutes into our night, the helicopter picked up heat images on a ranch and we were led to 400 all arrested for criminal trespass. a state crime. one armed with a knife. not long after that. cameras pinged another group. and the heat seeking drone was

sent up to locate more illegal crossers that were spotted there. this group scaled a fence to get further into the ranch. i followed along with texas dps scaling that exact same fence running further into the ranch. all five were eventually located and also arrested. both groups, again, trying to sneak into the country undetected, not claiming asylum. these captures that we had last night were on top of the roughly 2,000 that entered just yesterday through eagle pass claiming asylum and winding up in the hands of border patrol. our cameras captured 300 plus of those migrants crossing the river. i want to bring in lt. chris olivares who was so helpful with all of this yesterday. we are out there this morning. the sun starting to come out. it's dark and cold. we have seen 50 migrants just this morning trying to get across the river. has weather had any impact on crossings? >> it has not. historically around this time during cold temperatures we see a drop in illegal border crossings. this crisis had has not been the

case. as long as the federal government continues to incentivize border crossing ports of entry women and children will continue to cross this river during cold temperatures. only creating more dangerous and inhumane conditions for illegal immigrants. >> we are only two months in 2024 fiscal year. crossings along the border. those are those that turn themselves over to border patrol that claim asylum. that does not include just the nine last night that we saw in two hours of night patrol. ainsley, i will send it back to you. >> ainsley: the numbers are staggering. thanks so much, madison, great job. hand it over to carley for headlines. >> carley: we will start with a fox news alert. the russian court is extending the prison stay of "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovich for the third time according to a russian source the american journalist will now be held until the end of january. gershkovich was arrested in march on espionage charges.

he denied the allegations the russian foreign ministry has said it will car swap for gershkovich only after a verdict in his trial. he will have been behind bars for 10 months by the end of his now extended detention. to another fox news alert. first responders are putting out a fire at a business in north bergen, new jersey. officials say the blaze broke out at commercial garage before 7:00 a.m. no injuries have been reported. but we are going to monitor that situation. bring you the latest there and check out this shocking video. wow. it shows a 12-year-old leading police on a wild chase after stealing a forklift middle school in an ann arbor, michiga. locked keys inside. the boy slammed into at least 10 parked cars. the chase lasted about an hour. he was taken into police custody but remains unclear if he will face any consequences. turning now to a fox weather

alert. 3 million americans are under a lake effect snow warning as a cold front moves into the u.s. upstate new york getting the first big snow storm of the year. let's check in senior meteorologist janice dean for our snowy fox weather forecast. janice? >> yes, it's here in upstate new york. take a look at the lake-effect snow machine that is still up and running this morning. we got over 2 feet of snow. or close to it in upstate new york around the buffalo area. and more snow is falling. there is cold winds over the relatively warmer lake waters of ontario and erie and michigan. lake michigan and superior. so we are getting a lot of lake-effect snow early on in the season. could see upwards of 3 feet. so we have got that cold and windy conditions in the new york area and some of that lake-effect snow actually could make it down towards new york city and parts of new jersey. you know, it's just going to be flurries. we are not going to see any significant snow. that's how far reaching some of

this lake-effect snow can go. potential record lows for parts of the mid-atlantic and even the south. tomorrow morning, 60 degrees in ohio, parts of ohio, virginia and north carolina. we have freeze watches in effect for the gulf coast. florida, the panhandle there up towards coastal south carolina. even coastal north carolina. so feeling the freeze today and tomorrow temperatures below average for all 50 states and start a warm-up thursday into friday. that will be good news. next artic cold front moves in. those are the low temperatures. some cases the teens and 20's and 30's. we actually have a lack of snow for the i-95 corridor. look at this. boston last season, 50 inches. but that's a departure of 36 inches. we need to see some snow in some of the big cities all along the i-95 corridor. the winter has not even begun. i bet we are going to get at least one big snow storm. that is my prediction. not based on anything except my gut, ainsley. >> ainsley: i like your gut.

>> janice: i'm glad. >> ainsley: last year we didn't get a big snow storm so we need one. thank you, janice. a new tell-all promising to pull back the curtain on the buckingham palace and the situation with the royal family. the end game author claiming to shed light on the royal riff between prince william and harry writing, quote: william has prioritized his loyalty to the monarchy quietly cooperating with the u.k. press to undermine harry. royal commentators richard fits williams joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> well, harry claimed the same thing. he accused the family of talking to the press to undermine him. do you agree with that? >> well, it seems to me that the this book should have been entitled "seeking sensation" and as a subsidiary title "sussex squad handbook." no question they have been aggrieved against and they want

apology from the palace they are not getting one. and the palace are naturally not commenting on a book which is pretty poisonous quite frankly. it goes through a variety of members of the royal family and attacks them. for example, if you take catherine, the princess of whales, last spoke to meghan no question she is sometime who is a part time royal gives nicknames, the king is indecisive. he is also got william ambitiously eyeing his job. it's very much a pant mine look at the royal family and i don't think a lot of people will take it seriously "new york times" had the first copy. they didn't think much of the

book. all of this is just seeping out into public domain one knot two royal reyess. harry withdrew that term, brought it back. >> this is a thoroughly nasty book. >> ainsley: so he writes about william that he lost harry. he doesn't want to know this version of him. he writes about kate that she jokingly shivered and giggled when meghan is brought up. never a fan of the actress. she spends more time talking about her than she does talking with her, which is probably true since they don't have much of a relationship. indicate the last shiny things. the queen liked her because she was a coachable princess, unlike diana, the book says. it talks about the power struggle between the king and the prince. is any of that true? >> well, quite frankly, i mean, by coachable, escobar writes the most appalling english.

his proceeds is terrible. i think what he meant that the king someone who was dedicated to the job in hand. he doesn't have the numbers of patronages that some royals used to have. she and william have fewer. but they do more for the ones they have got. she has her work-life balance which is excellent. the sucks says a concern. we know because it came out in court that the sussexs through meghan briefing and they collaborated with finding freedom which is the last book and also harry was alleged to have commented that he didn't want their cooperation to be known. they had previously denied. this they say they have nothing to do with this. if you believe that, well, i have to say, quite frankly, that this book is simply a sussex's

praise, endlessly it praises them. and frankly, i don't believe a lot of it. >> ainsley: okay. thank you, richard. >> the book is end game. he wrote finding freedom. escaped from the firm. thank you so much for joining us. all right. now to an update on the financial crimes trial of disgraced lawyer south carolina alex murdaugh, the convicted killer is expected to be sentenced this morning after admitting in court that he stole money from former clients. todd piro is here with those details. todd? >> todd: ainsley, murdaugh is expected to be back in that county courtroom in about two hours. he pleaded guilty to 22 financial crimes back in september, including money laundering, forgery and tax evasion. he is facing more than two decades in prison. his victims are also expected to be in the courtroom this morning getting a chance to confront the man who admitted to stealing their money. the disbarred attorney currently serving two life sentences for shooting and killing his wife and son in 2021. now he is looking for a new

murder trial. his defense team claiming that the court clerk tampered with the jury. now, if granted a new trial, both the judge and the clerk could be put on the stand. just last week the son of that same clerk was arrested on wire tapping charges. unclear with the alleged crime is connected to murdaugh's six week double murder trial. so much intrigue, brian, over to you. >> brian: i know. i'm going to stay on top of it. meanwhile american borrowers getting close to maxing out as rates are continuing to surge. how bad is it? let's bring in stuart varney all the way from the fox business network. we paid for your travel. thanks for being here. let's talk about credit card balances and who it matters to, most. >> stuart: this is a story about people living hand-to-mouth, paycheck to paycheck. >> brian: yep. >> interest rates and borrowing on credit cards are part of the problem. $48 billion of extra credit card charges in the last quarter, bringing us to a total of just over $1 trillion worth of credit card debt. >> brian: would you say a lot of

this gets surprising because the interest rates go up? you look at your balance and say i didn't really spend that much but look at how much more i owe? >> stuart: precisely, keeps on going up. paycheck to paycheck. as we borrow more the delinquency rate goes up. now at 5.78%. it was only 2% in the previous administration. so the delinquency rate goes up as interest rates rise. >> brian: that is just fallen to an abyss as those interest rates group it gets harder, more fees on top of that and then it gets impossible to pay back. now, let's talk about this, debt as it relates to the annual percentage rates and interest. take a look at this saturday stuart here is the surge in borrowing. see that line there? that's from biden entering office. there is a surge in borrowing. precisely the same time, there is a surge in the interest that you pay on your borrowed money. it's now 20.72%. as of november the 1st. 20.72%. when biden entered office, it

was 16%. >> brian: when joe biden talks about bidenomics, he says hey, i got the jobless claims down, i got unemployment down. the g.d.p. went up. but people out there look at this and say i'm not feeling it. he doesn't get the disconnect why people aren't feeling it. he thinks it's political. this is the answer to his question. >> stuart: the story here is, the higher the income, the lower the delinquency rate. rich people can afford it borrow. >> brian: let's take a look at it. >> the lower the income. and looking at this line here. the lower the income, the higher the delinquency rate. >> brian: here's the 25,000 right here. >> stuart: yes. >> brian: people make over 100,000 don't have the problem. they are not carrying the balances. >> stuart: that's right. so you squeeze the lower your income, the more the squeeze. that's why you have that lady on from pennsylvania the other day who is doing everything right, four jobs, and she is still living hand-to-mouth. 200, to $300 to last 10 days. that's the story here. rising interest rates, scrimping people in middle america. that's the story.

>> brian: she told us both incomes, two good jobs, one a registered nurse, says it is now monday and we have $200 for the rest of the week. >> stuart: yes. >> brian: that's what people feel they don't look at the g.d.p. >> stuart: 60% of america's population lives paycheck to paycheck. six out of 10 americans. political consequences for that. >> brian: i checked the schedule right before i came to work. you are on today 9:00 to noon on fbn. >> stuart: that's correct. >> brian: you will be on varney and company. and host american built monday nights at 9:00. do you want to tease anybody coming up today or all about you. >> stuart: all about you. >> brian: varney and company that's all you need to know 9 to noon. stuart thanks very much. >> stuart: you are killing me. >> brian: i'm casually going to walk over there. you are going to be in am >> ainsley: we are starting our final hour with a fox news alert. new images showing emotional
