jacqui: u.s. officials say iranian naval spy ship is

feeding realtime information to the houthis as iranian-backed group target ships in the red sea in an attempt to disrupt shipping and military traffic. i'm jacqui heinrich. griff: i'm griff jenkins. hour two here we go as the war wages in northern gaza despite calls for humanitarian pause. greg palcokk in tel aviv. >> down south in gaza some very rough battles as we will continue to pound various hamas targets today saying it has killed a top weapon smuggler for the group. they are zeroing in on the headquarters in the south and trying to finish off strongholds in the north where miltants have been holding on. despite widespread devastation, israel not altering its approach after yesterday's resolution in the un security council calling for humanitarian pause. that was toned down a bit after

the u.s. go along with abstention, critics say it's not strong enough to get sufficient aid to gaza as houthi fighters continue attacks on international shipping in the red sea, we just got report of another one in the past few minutes. fox has confirmed iranian naval spy vessel is relaying realtime information to the rebels. main while israel is getting help from the four-legged kind. idf reveals army dogs equipped with body cameras are sniffing their way through hamas terror tunnels hunting down fighters, weapons and possibly hostages. finally, christmas in bethlehem, west bank more subdue this year because of the war, no tree, no lights, few tourists, very few celebrations as the fight goes on. there will be a midnight mass,

christmas eve for peace and hope, of course, for peace and quiet, noises down south and throughout the region. back to you, griff. griff: greg, thank you. jacqui. jacqui: for me on the war in israel joining me live in studio retired army colonel joe pacino, thank you for being with us. appreciate it. >> happy holidays. jacqui: i wanted to first start with this iranian spy ship that we learned about yesterday i believe but evidently the existence of this ship and it was doing i assume has been known to the administration since about october, so can you explain for us why it would be that we didn't learn about this until end of december and the pentagon was aware for months. >> it's no surprise. the houthis are conducting

attacks from onland, this is not a high-tech force. this is amilitia a few thousand people in one of the poorest countries on earth. so the iranians, it's clear, the iranians are providing targeting data, radar data, intelligence and directing the houthis where to fire drones and missiles. some of the attacks on the red sea were fairly complicated. 14-one way drones at one point and another point coordinated attacks against 3 different vessels, this is not something that they will be able to do. obvious conclusion to draw. the pentagon has known for weeks, the administration has known about this but this is a black eye for the administration, the fact that iran is helping the the houthis conduct this, you see the pentagon always wants to downplay the attacks and untetter the red sea attacks from the shiite militia from iraq and syria and downplay

because the administration is going to do nothing to strike at iran or hold iran accountable. jacqui: any reason why they might not want to do that right now? i'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt because we can talk about how they should take greater action. why would they not if you are looking at this from a neutral perspective, is there any advantage to doing nothing for several weeks like they have been? >> i disagree with the administration on this. jacqui: okay. >> i think the administration has got it all wrong. the administration does not want the widen this the out. they are relatively comfortable with israel in gaza, with hezbollah in the north firing off, popping up some rockets with our troops hunkered in iran and syria. they don't want to widen the war. that's always been the purview of this administration with regard to iran and with regard to the middle east, you know, their real focus is china, the

indo-pacific. that's one reason. another reason is how far do you take deterrence, how far do you scale up on escalation before iran does something that would trigger some other activity? and the other thing is just the complicated geopolitics of the region. we have the truce in yemen with saudi arabia, we are trying to get back into this the regional security architecture that was on a good glide path before october 7th which tied israel to saudi arabia and all the sunni arab countries and complexity the at interplay here. i just think they are wrong about this and they need to do something significant to send a message against iran because iran understands deterrence in that way. jacqui: and to your point, they may not end up being in charge of the timeline if something happens and u.s. service members are injured or something worse

and you now have the leader of the houthis saying, bring it on, we want direct confrontation with america. they said that televised, i think, we have a soundbite on it last week, but i want to play for you what mike allen -- michael allen said, former nsc member said about where this should go. get your reaction. >> it's not just by the way a destroyer in the red sea that could get targeted and we would lose a number of sailors, it's air base, u.s. embassy in iran, one of these days, one of these rockets is going to hit a hall and vessel and then president biden will have to go heavier than he is now. better to do it now to deter these type of strikes than wait. jacqui: what does deterring it now look like? what does that look like? >> deterring now would be striking iranian assets at sea, would be striking houthi assets in yemen.

we have done this in 2016, strike their radars, strike their gun batteries or striking an irgc base, islamic revolutionary guard base inside of iran and you're scaling up there, and you're scaling up that you're sending a message but you can scale up even further, okay. sending a message, doing something that's offensive four times now we've bombed these basically empty buildings in iraq and syria, primarily northeast syria and eastern syria, that's really done nothing to date. the attacks continue a pace. i think you have to scale up and strike something that iran actually cares about because they don't care about these bases in syria. jacqui: is there anything about the houthis not being a foreign terrorist organization anymore that restrains the administration? i know they have placed this under review and removed that

designation, blinken did over humanitarian concerns and we reached truce in yemen and we are trying to get things going there. if they were to reverse that now and bring that review to its conclusion and make that decision to redesignate it, is that at all valuable from a u.s. perspective in terms of how we can respond or should we really be focusing only on iran? >> no, i think we should redesignate the houthis as terrorist organization. the timing on that relative to the sequence of everything that the administration was doing at the time was off. okay, we had just came out of afghanistan and catastrophic withdrawal, we were trying to get back into the nuclear deal, jcpoa with iran, the sequencing, the timing and the messaging was all off. i think we need to redesignate the houthis as terrorist organization. ic we need to strike houthi assets in yemen and i think we need to continue to send a message to iran. i think the real concern for the administration that you mentioned this tenuous ceasefire

with saudi arabia and you notice the saudis are not part of this maritime task force that we established to escort commercial goods through the red sea, and so i think that's a consideration. our consideration should be american priorities, international trade, the international order and american interests, not really what the saudis want us to do there because the saudis do not want us to strike the houthis in yemen. jacqui: let's hope the administration makes a decision while it's theirs to make before they are forced into some sort of response by some horrible things that happens. thank you so much, colonel joe buccino. >> merry christmas. griff: reaction continues after the supreme court rejected the doj's fast-track appeal. alex hoff has all the details

for us. alex: the decision usually added to any frustration held by the president because it means that a federal trial for his top opponent could be delayed. the supreme court decided yesterday it's not going to expedite hearing former president trump's claim that he's immune from charges related to the 2020 election so that claim will first head to federal appeals court. here is fox news contributor professor turley weighing in yesterday. >> leapfrog over dc circuit to get a judgment as quickly as possible. jack smith has made very clear that he wants to case tried before the election. alex: but that might not happen. trump's criminal trial was scheduled for march fourth to begin then but yesterday's decision will likely set that back. that would be a legal win for the former president. meanwhile the biden-harris campaign is promising more visibility to come this week former aggressive tactics have been deployed like this graphic

it was linking statements that trump had made about immigration to hitler. also a memo was released yesterday by the biden-harris campaign it was titled inside the maga plan to attack birth control, surveil women and ban the abortion pill. it's clear that a major focus is going to try to tie president with restrictive abortion policies. we have seen it in polling. the campaign say they can counter reservations by getting the president out on the trail more. >> that's our secret sauce. president biden is extremely good and an excellent politician and we are excited to get him and the vice president out to all of our states. alex: biden-harris team says the team the as a whole will hit full steam by the summer. griff: alex hoff live in washington, alex, thank you.

[speaking in spanish] [speaking in spanish] >> pennsylvania. new york. chicago. chicago. griff: u.s. facing a record-number of migrant encounters at the border this month. joining us to discuss it all former new york state homeland adviser michael, my colleague has been doing a great job in arizona a few weeks i saw the same thing in eagle pass, texas, the numbers we've never encountered them but one of the things that texas governor greg abbott did early on that certainly achieved the goal of bringing the border crisis to states well north of the border so they would understood the impact was to bus them to places

like new york. we can show you a breakdown of the bugs. 82,900 total, washington, d.c. got 12,000 and 30,000 to new york city. now, what do you think about what governor abbott has been doing? has this been effective and has this been smart? >> what governor abbott was successful in doing making this the a national issue. when you think about the border crisis and the responsibility of protecting the united states it should not fall to any one state. i mean, there are literally over years millions of people who have come across that border so how realistic is it that the state of texas should be the one bearing that burden. this is a national crisis and should be a national response. now, in new york city what is interesting about that number you talked about, it's 30,000 but yet there's over a hundred thousand migrants that have come here raising the question, how

did everybody else get here and that's really the crux of the problem, we don't know who is coming across the border or how they are getting here and it's not simply folks coming from south or central america. griff: you reached such a great point, michael, that's the impact that the overall crisis not just buses have had in places like new york, in fact, i was shock today see this past week an op-ed from former governor andrew coamo in the new york post writing this of all things. i want to show it to you, feds and states don't take the responsibility. new york city should sue saying new york city is already in crisis dealing with a post-covid economy vacancies, crime, homelessness, migration in budget deficits, it cannot afford to pay the estimated 12 million in migrant care. he continues on the next page the city is the economic engine for the state and region.

if the big apple falters, the consequences will be devastated, finally, culminating in the feds and the state also migrants who are overconcentrated in one very dense city packed in modern-day welfare hotels in ten cities, your reaction? >> this becomes the question has new york and los angeles and chicago and san francisco all put themselves in the target for everybody coming in because they are, quote, sanctuary cities. this is really become the debate and there is a custom and practice and i'm not sure, not a state law, it's a city which says if you show up to new york you are going to be sheltered, you are going to be given aid and what happened is nobody really expected that to be -- come into effect but yet what this migrant crisis is showing that the folks that are coming through the border, they know what cities will welcome them.

you heard in your -- in the lead-up to this interview, you had migrants standing on the border, where are you going, well, i'm going to new york, i'm going to chicago. there's no coincidence that those are the cities that are saying we are sanctuary cities. what andrew cuomo is saying is, in fact, correct. this is a city that is not ready to do this. mayor adams has been screaming about this for over a year and the city really is not prepared. now you are talking about budget cuts and we don't have the covid dollars that used to be there and the economy -- so the stock market is doing great but the question becomes what is the future, the new york city -- new york state comptroller tom says we will be facing tough times from the financial perspective from the state. griff: you're right, 60-day right to shelter law is certainly been standing the test here in this crisis but if we widen the lens a little bit to go more macro and talk about the impact and i want to get just

one last question in with you on this and that is if you look at the number of illegal immigrant family households, the center for immigration studies did this, studies show that 3 and 5, 59% of illegal headed households are on some form of welfare, american taxpayers are paying for that, michael. >> there's a huge question about how -- what was spending per migrant family and what we spend on senior citizens through medicaid and medicare. there's whole issue of what are our priorities, are they for folks who have come to the country not gone through the process who we don't know who they are or to u.s. citizens who are tax-paying and in the case of senior citizens in nursing homes have spent all their lives working and are not getting the the same kind of support for folks that show up in the united states are getting. griff: michael, i have 20

seconds. i'm asking everybody i bring on, what one piece of advice would you give the folks in washington from president biden to the republicans trying to come up to the resolution to get this under control? >> the basic tenant of security, means push out your border which means we shouldn't be having these discussions right at the border. we should be working with the central american governments, the south american governments, we should work with them whether it's moneys into mexico to say, look, have a better state of security, tell us who is coming across, better intelligence, more border enforcement teams, that's what we need. griff: michael balboni, thank you very much, merry christmas and thank you for taking the time today. jacquesy. jacqui: last-minute shoppers are descending on malls around the country last saturday before christmas but where can you still get a deal? we've got more on that. stay tuned for more. ♪ ♪ ♪

jacqui: record-breaking shopping statistics occurring this super saturday, 141 million people shop both online and in retail stores just two days before christmas, madison live in atlanta talking to shoppers and experts about holiday spending this season, madison.

reporter: hi, jacqui, if you're doing last-minute shopping today you're essential not alone. malls across the country are expecting today to be busier than block friday so if you're going to go shopping i would say do that sooner rather than later today at least for the mall here in atlanta the crowds are getting bigger by the minute. several stores have lines out the door and again two days before christmas. >> this is the first time since i believe 2017 since we have had a supersaturday right before christmas. i would say this time around be careful because you don't have that much time between super saturday and christmas so get out there, shop as early as you can. reporter: the national retail federation expects that over 140 million people are doing some last-minute shopping today as you were just talking about today and the nrf says shoppers will spend $175 on average this year, about $620 on gifts and

then a little over 250 on things like decorations, candy and food. now overall that's about $42 more than consumers plan to spend last year and one thing shoppers don't have to worry about this time around is low inventory which means more deals and industry experts at kpmg says shoppers are stretching their dollars and really taking advantage of that but the company says that every 4 shoppers will use credit card to pay for gifts and a third are making installment payments so come 2024 a lot of people are going to have to be focusing on paying off some debt, jacqui. jacqui: i hope you're at least making good use of assignment at the mall today if you have any shopping left to do, madison, thanks so much. reporter: thanks, jacqui. griff: new york state lawmakers are proposing new bill that would require restaurants to

stay open 7 days a week. the administration aimed at chick-fil-a, notably closed on sundays, something lawmakers say hurts travelers. fox news correspondent lauren green has the details. lauren: chick-fil-a is known for opening on sundays even busy location new york freeway. the proposed law called the new york restaurant rest act would require chick-fil-a and all food establishments to remain open 7 days a week at through-way rest stops. chick-fil-a has been at the center of controversy after founder spoke about personal beliefs about gay marriage. tony simone, bill cosponsor, not only chick-fil-a has shameful history of opposing lgbtq rights, it makes no sense to be a provider of food services in

busy travel plazas, drivers are on the through-ways on sundays but chick-fil-a 6-day schedule is part of commitment to faith. 27 recently rest areas across new york state and the state has contracted with apple green corporation to run the food operations and in a statement to fox news channel, apple green is required to have at least one hot and cold food option available 24 hours a day at all locations. chick-fil-a sunday closure is brand requirement which apple green factored in to their tenant plan. chick-fil-a has not responded to the proposal. if the legislation passes, it could affect all food services that are controlled by the new york and new jersey port authority and law makers have not said when they will discuss the proposal. in hastings on hudson i'm lauren green, fox news. jacqui: coming up, political fallout of two major court rulings involving former president trump. stay with us.

>> if you're performing an official function the president has absolute immunity and that has to be protected. i support that. >> i think trump's strategy clearly is to drag all of these cases out. every time he gets charged what happens to his poll numbers, they seem to go up. so if i'm trump from a political standpoint, i keep dragging this thing out as long as i can. jacqui: the supreme court rejecting the doj's request to fast-track arguments on trump's immunity and colorado removing trump from the 2024 ballot all of this as we remain weeks away from the iowa caucuses, let's bring in political panel, today we have former aide to mitch mcconnell and democratic al matter. >> i will start with you, al, i saw you shaking your head, what

was going through it? >> well, i mean, look, it's a problem for democrats when we focus on trying to put trump off the ballot rather than beat him in the ballot box in my opinion. i think the case in colorado will be rejected in the supreme court and takes attention on serious things, he had falsified documentdocument -- mar-a-lago e elections about the deep state exercise to get him off the ballot, that benefits him in my opinion. jacqui: i would assume that you would agree, neil? >> the colorado case was laughable if it wasn't so dangerous. when you think about the precedent being set here, state supreme court, very serious body is denying an individual one of the most significant liberties we have, running for president of the united states on the basis of a crime that he hasn't even been charged with let alone

convicted of. i think this is going to backfire politically on the democrats who are pursuing this. do i think it'll be overturned in the supreme court. i think it's likely to be a 9-0 decision and i think in many ways they may have handed him the republican nomination and perhaps put him in a place where he is not just the favorite but i think the overwhelming favorite to be elected president next november. jacqui: well, he's already in a lot of way it is overwhelming favorite if you pay attention to the polls anyway, but to your other point about colorado, you know, al, are you at all concerned that this the effort and now you're seeing this mirrored in some other blue states, you had --ic it was california's lieutenant governor, we have to call up every possible legal tool to try to achieve the same thing. is there a real concern that in texas they can say the same thing about president biden? you heard dan patrick, lieutenant governor, he violated the constitution by leaving the

border open, we can pull the same trigger basically? >> that's again another reason why you don't want the courts to become tools of partisan politics, you want to be them objective arbiters. it's better to beat him at the ballot box. by the way the only way to get rid of him if he loses to nikki haley or loses to joe biden and we are not going to get rid of donald trump by these efforts in colorado or maybe maine which is talking about taking him off the ballot. jacqui: you guys are agreeing about everything and i will make you fight about something it is our political panel after all. we will talk about trump and nick question hailey because you brought her on. we had joe lieberman on cavuto talking about if nikki haley were to drop out and join the no labels ticket that there will be a lot of folks with no labeling eager to look at her as a candidate there. does the prospect of nikki haley running on another -- separate ticket from the one she's trying to get on right now change

trump's trajectory in your eyes? >> i think anyone running on the no labels ticket whether it's senator manchin or ambassador haley tips the election to donald trump because his base of support is so solid, those voters aren't going anywhere. and so i think to the extent that nikki haley or joe manchin is running on no labels front they are peeling votes away from joe biden and tipping the election to donald trump. jacqui: well, we had bill barr today, great sound out of people, he was talking about how he could not see himself supporting president biden and bill barr has had bad blood but to what neil was just saying, you know, is the support for donald trump so solidified that someone like bill barr might

look as nikki haley as an option. >> i don't have the same view here. if nikki haley is on the ticket gives the election to joe biden. can't stomach the notion offshooting for biden, a solid place to go. i don't think they will end up in the ticket. if it were she would be problematic for the former president. jacqui: you both see it throwing the election to -- >> one or the other. >> i don't see where they get electoral vote. jacqui: 27 state ballots by the end to have year, right? >> it's an interesting dive into that and what would happen if they would throw the election to the house of representatives which allows president trump to win given composition. >> he just gave me point. jacqui: what do we have left to talk about? let's talk the about the polls because you do have the no labels folks talking about how the grounds are different right now where you've got significant number of people unhappy with

their options, even though trump has huge support among republicans, biden has weaker support among democrats but you do have, you know, and i'm really spit-balling the numbers here, you're nearing three quarters of voters in depending what poll you're looking at wishing we had something else. how is it true then that a third party or a third option would automatically swing the election to one of the two options that no one wants, al, first. >> what i was saying if they capture say 60 electoral votes, 50, 80 whatever it is, not enough to get to 270, no one will likely have the 270 required which tips the election to the house, that's what i was suggesting. the irony of no labels effort, so many people are dissatisfied on both sides, both republicans and democrats don't like their choices, the irony of it is, they will ruin the first election, even though what they may be doing long term is in the

interest of the country but they can't do long term bringing us with a solution until they mess it up. a tough decision for them to make. jacqui: last word? >> i think that independent will decide this election. it's going to come about to six states. i don't think no labels will make a difference to tip one of those states to win it. the key is what do independent voters in six pivotal states do, do they vote for joe biden, they compare the last four years to previous four years and maybe vote for donald trump or do they stay at home? as of today it looks like trump is the favorite at least if you look at the polling in those pivotal states. he's been charged with 91 some odd crimes, if he's actually convicted of something before the election, what does that do? does that spook independent voters and suddenly does that advantage that he currently has today start to slip away? >> yes.

jacqui: depending on who you're talking to you have wide array of opinion on whether it's even possible given the calendar, likelihood he could end up winning and pardoning himself. it's hard to map out a path to any sort of option if you're trying to forecast anything. it's hard to decipher where things are going. >> it'll be crazy. jacqui: thank you very much for being here. griff: propalestinian rally in the airport. commotion from moments ago. propalestinians turning out here. busy travel day across the country particularly in the denver area. they had some of the largest number of delays because of the weather there snow hitting that. you can see from the river to the sea a chant we have often talked about on this the air. you can see the group there

walk past someone with that red kettle ringing the bell you might just change somebody's life and it stuck with me all of these years and now for those of us who walk past the kettle and you don't have any change, you've modernized ways you can donate. talk to me about this season and how you modernized things? >> merry christmas. that story is not unlike stories we hear every day. 24 million people helped thanks to generosity to the american public primarily through the red kettle campaign, that's food on the table, shelter for the homeless, helping people overcome addiction when you give a dollar in that red kettle that helps local people in your local community every dollar that you give stays in the local community to meet needs and as you can imagine, through the years many people have said i don't carry cash as much as i have in the past, so we've created kettle pay in addition to giving your bills and coins

at the kettle, you can give through google pay, apple say, venmo, paypal, just the qr code or bump in your phone. we try to make it easy so you can give generous and give to others in your local community. griff: dale, how important is it this year to give to salvation army in the initiatives that you're trying to do? >> it's crucial. one in three americans say they are worse off now than last year due to inflation so the needs are rising, the need is great in local communities. last year the salvation army served 155 million meals. we were able to make sure that people had rent and utility assistance keeping 200,000 families in their homes so when you give a donation either at the kettle or online at salvationarmyusa.org, i can assure you we will do most with the contributions and donations stay in your local community to meet local needs.
