than anybody else. >> people come to the border and try to get in without the necessary legal basis to do so, they will be sent away. >> talk to the migrants coming across the border, what do they say, we are here because of your president, here because of president biden and that's why we keep coming. >> i've made a call to our president, our vice president, we need action. united states of america does not care about the safety, security of the border. >> border state officials fire back at the administration, as the migrant crisis could get work to start the new year. rich edson in new york. >> jonathan: jonathan hunt in los angeles. a fresh wave of 15,000 migrants head straight for the southern border, alejandro mayorkas and sent of state antony blinken are set to meet face-to-face later this hour with the president of mexico to discuss the migrant

crisis. >> rich: chris clem is standing by whether the meeting will lead to policy change, but first to our team of reporters. c.b. cotton on eric adams saying president biden is refusing to meet with him to discuss the crisis and william who starts us off. hey, william. >> rich, what means more as we just saw, what you say or what you do. so the white house says the border is secure, today however secretaries blinken and mayorkas are doing what, securing the border with mexico's help. >> why would they stop coming? they cross the border illegally they are going to get processed and released, flown to the city of their choice on the taxpayer dime, put in hotel, get three meals a day, get medical care, they are not gonna stop. >> lukeville arizona last night, agents apprehended more than 1,000 immigration, including 700

single men. resume deportation busses and flights to central america. 700,000 migrants passed through mexico last year, it says, u.s. wants them out before they reach the u.s. resume policing the railroads. quickest and cheapest way north, migrants come north are the railroads. the beast. increase checkpoints, pull migrants off trucks and busses and reinstate national guard troops on the guatemalan border. finally, limit visas that allow migrants to transit mexico legally. migrants rioted after being denied documents. also where the latest caravan came together on christmas eve. president obrador said he is open to more enforcement but wants the u.s. to lift sanctions against cuban and venezuela. and critics say it's about paying mexico to do something we will not. >> we will boost as much as we can to help maintain an orderly flow of migrants. recently there was an abnormal

surge of migrants. >> the government of the united states will give over $300 million to mexico to curb migration. it translates into giving money to mexico to deport and detain all these people, poor people, people who have not had money to move forward. >> so best case, rich, mexico cracks down, the border patrol has time to regroup, congress enacts asylum reform and illegal immigration falls. >> rich: william, thank you. jonathan. >> jonathan: rich, thank you. sanctuary cities say they are also dealing with a surge of migrants as new york city mayor adams cannot even get a meeting with president biden to talk about the crisis. just last week, the big apple welcomed, if that's the right word, 4,000 new migrants. and adams says his city is losing hope on getting any help from washington. c.b. cotton is live with more. how much money has the city

spent so far? an just got some updated totals, city spent get this, more than $3.1 billion from april 2022 through november of this year on the migrant crisis. new york city mayor eric adams says american cities deserve better. nearly 70,000 migrants remain in the city's care and more keep coming. the mayor's office says nearly 200 migrants arrived tuesday night at the port authority bus terminal after their flight from el paso, texas to new york's jfk airport was diverted to philadelphia due to inclement weather. a mayoral spokesperson taken to x, last night in another inhumane act treating human beings like political pawns, texas governor abbott attempted to send us migrants, growing

abb -- greg abbott's office said they sent them. in total, over the last two weeks, the city has seen 7200 migrants come through the city's intake system. new york city mayor says he's been begging for help but does not gotten a one-on-one with president biden since early last year. listen. >> it baffles me. new york city is the economic engine of the state and the country. cities should not be handling national problems. i'm hoping that our national leaders understand and come up with immigration reform, decompression strategy, pick up the price tag of the issue and allow people to work. >> we are all waiting fo action. mayor adams says he understands it's his responsibility to navigate the city through the migrant month announced major budget cuts as the city faces waves of migrants which come with record crossings at the border. jonathan, back to you.

>> jonathan: c.b., great to see you. thank you so much. >> rich: chris clem, former yuma, arizona section board chief. thanks for joining us this afternoon. the statement you heard from mayor eric adams, says cities should not have to deal with national issues. is what the secretaries of homeland security and state going to talk to mexico's government today, are those conversations going to yield any relief for cities like new york and chicago and the other cities seeing this migrant surge? >> well, thanks for having me on and it's really just amazing that we are three years into this administration, they are finally going to clamp down on something that we have been talking about for the last three years. you know, look, even on williams' report about the optimistic outlook, if all those things come into place where, you know, mexico actually clamps down on things at their southern border or redirect some of the things they have going on, that would lead to a perfect scenario

where it can slow down the flow, but look, this is all organized and the fact we have caravans forming again, showing they are coming to the united states, it shows our government and mexico are complicit in this human trafficking and this migrant flow. it actually blows open the asylum seeking narrative. organized people coming here to get benefits in the united states and part of that is getting caught and getting released and going to the sanctuary cities. i've talked at length about, you know, mayor adams had sent teams down to the border a few years ago and we told him this was coming and so i do agree with him it's a federal responsibility but when you open the door to bring in people in, you have to own that and they are feeling the pain right now. >> rich: chris, william laid out what the united states is asking for here and says the mexican government has some asks, development aid to go to cuba and venezuela, and sanctions

relieved from the countries to stop the migrants from showing up in mexico who then show up in the united states. how effective do you think that would be in stopping some of the migration? >> any time you have the conversation and put some kind of consequence in place where you are going to stop something, in this case a certain group from coming in and moving through mexico, may make a difference. but at the end of the day why are we having to negotiate our own security and our own sovereignty. this has been going on too long, i think our numbers this month are looking to set another record. so i mean, look, i am glad that they are taking some kind of effort but i think this is as much more of just organizing this chaos and kind of managing and metering the problem. nothing shows or indicates that they are going to stop people from even coming in and moving through mexico. it's just kind of organized making sure that there's a little bit of involvement on the front as opposed to mass amount

showing up. it should be a simple statement. we are securing the border, this ends and you either comply or you don't and if you don't comply, there's going to be consequences. >> rich: chris you pointed out, we have had three years of the biden administration, not much change in border policy and we have had ebb and flows on high side but times it has slowed down a bit. now seeing the absolutely massive surge. why now? >> well, i think first of all, there's a couple things at play right here, right. and again, this is more my opinion but based on lots of experience. you are, let's be honest, we are entering the final stage of an election year, going into an election year. so the numbers are not looking good when it comes to border security so they have to act. you have organizations, non-profit organizations working to coordinate this mass flow of people. that's attention-getting for the open border advocates, right.

so a lot of attention, centered around immigration, illegal immigration and it's politically impacting some people. so now is the time to act in their eyes. they want to change that narrative. you listened to the press secretary saying the president has done more -- the president has done less to undermine what we have done at least the first 25 years of my career than i've ever seen before. so, this is just about getting attention, showing that they can change the narrative, maybe slow that flow down and get a better handle on it. but i don't see anything that says they are turning around 10,000 people a day, i don't see any of that. i see some kind of way of organizing the flow as it comes to the united states and i think that's what mexico ultimately would do, be in concert with dhs, the department of state, to make sure they can manage this migrant flow through mexico so it's a little more orderly, less chaotic, but if people make it

to the border under the policies of the administration and the border, they will be caught and released. >> rich: chris clem, former section chief, thanks for joining us. much appreciated. you know, jonathan, big meetings down in mexico but a real question as to what the u.s. can secure here, and if the u.s. can offer mexico anything. they have asks. >> jonathan: and from time to time, rich, mexico has taken more action, we have seen it. thinking about this the other day. i first went down to that border 25 years ago. the story essentially has not changed. numbers have ebb and flowed and we are hitting record numbers now but the issues are exactly the same for 25 years. the u.s. has not done enough. you've got to have a white house administration that's willing to do something, you have to have a congress willing to act, too, and we keep seeing the story year after year, decade after decade, rich. the idf is ramping up ground

efforts in the fight against hamas terrorists. are we entering a new phase in the war? live with trey yingst in tel aviv. >> rich: and houthi attacks in the red sea showing no signs of slowing down. coming up, david freeman former ambassador to israel what must be done to counter iran. >> i've been saying for six months now, hit iran. they have oil fields out in the open, they have the revolutionary guard headquarters you can see from space, blow it off the map. if you really want to protect american soldiers, make it real to the ayatollah. to duckduckgo on all your devie

are expanding ground operations in gaza. multi-arena war that will last many more months. president biden is facing more pressure as the conflict escalates. david freeman is standing by but first, trey yingst in tel aviv. we understand there is a disagreement between hamas and iran. >> trey: hey, rich, absolutely, over the past 24 hours, iranian leadership saying the october 7th attack was a response to the 2020 killing of top general soleimani. hamas pushed back against this statement saying it had to do with the compound in jerusalem and comes as the entire world is watching the middle east and there are new threats from iran and proxies and growing concern about the possibility of a broader regional war. we know just yesterday that 12 attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two

cruise missiles were shot down by the american eisenhower carrier strike group. launched by iran-backed houthi rebels in yemen. and they say the idf is expanding operations in central and southern gaza while forces go after hamas leadership. in southern gaza, civilians are struggling to get by. there is aid going into gaza but it's not meeting the needs of the population. >> it's day 82 of the conflict between israel and hamas. the war is especially challenging for some of gaza's most vulnerable residents. those like abir, a death woman whose daughter has autism. war is very difficult. i see people upset and it's hard for them, she signs. i struggle a lot in the war. there's hardly any food and it's challenging to find supplies. united nations estimates 1.9 million palestinians are internally displaced, many

living in tents near rafah. a food kitchen south of gaza, civilians line up to wait for their next meal. the food here is far from enough to feed so large a number of people. he explains. i got my food today, but sometimes i am not so lucky. today more aid trucks into into the gaza strip from egypt. organizations say the aid is not enough to serve the palestinian people there, and over the weekend hamas police in the southern part of gaza shot and killed a palestinian civilian who was trying to take aid from one of those trucks. rich. >> rich: latest in a terrible situation. thank you. jonathan. >> jonathan: rich, iran proxies have carried out at least 103 attacks against u.s. military targets since the israel-hamas war began. comes as the u.s. is under increasing pressure to tackle the worsening crisis in the red

sea after houthis attacked another commercial shipping vessel that happening just yesterday. let's bring in david freeman, former u.s. ambassador to israel. mr. ambassador, i want to put up the map of the u.s. assets in the region. we have, i believe it's around 900 troops in syria right now, around 2500 in iraq and naval assets both in the med and in the red sea. are we doing enough to protect all of those assets, given that we have seen this more than 100 attacks on them? >> david: no, we are not doing enough, jonathan. happy new year. i think the "wall street journal" reported today that some of the members of our distinguished military there consider themselves nothing more than drone catchers. they are not fighting back. and let's be clear, the biden

policy on iran is at the core of all the conflicts raging in the middle east. funding and fueling the war of hamas and hezbollah against israel and the war that's begun by iraqis and houthis in the red sea. it's more than appeasement. it's active assistance. we have made available to iran over the last 16, over the last six months $16 billion. $6 billion in exchange for five hostages and another $10 billion for no particular reason over the last couple months, $16 billion now our entire aid package to israel that has not passed congress is only $14 billion. so -- >> jonathan: mr. ambassador, what should we be doing here. is the answer to take military action directly against tehran? is that the only thing that is

ultimately going to get the message through? >> i think so. i mean, look, we have -- we have 40 times the size of iran's military budget. you know, we are enormously threatening to iran, if we choose to exercise our power and leverage. we exercised that through the taking of soleimani off the field when he was the leading sponsor of terrorism around the world. the response by iran to that was fairly tepid because we showed our strengths. no question american strength will deter iran and bring to a more peaceful place. biden thinks begging will reduce the conflict. just the opposite. >> jonathan: can i just be clear here, are you saying that we should strike iran, strike at

the heart of iran, should we launch strikes against, for instance, military facilities in and around tehran? >> iran has taken military actions against the united states and of course in that context the united states should respond accordingly. i mean, that's what -- that's what you know, america does when it's attacked and those are the actions that keep this from escalating into something bigger. >> jonathan: would it not escalate it into something much bigger if we took that kind of direct action or do you believe that would actually bring the flames of war down rather than fan them? >> i have no doubt it would bring the flames of war down, i have no doubt. i think iran -- with any other bully, you push back, you show your strength, especially as i said, we are 40 times stronger just on our budget and our military are far better, our soldiers are much better, much more skilled, so much stronger than them that the failure to

exercise that strength is causing iran to engage in the activity across the crescent of the middle east. >> jonathan: and mr. ambassador quickly, i asked this question of a guest yesterday, it strikes me as odd given the intel that we have, the satellite intelligence gathering that we can do, when we strike back at these militant groups and be they in syria or iraq, we injure a couple, we kill one here and there. we know who those people are. we can see them quite plainly. they have carried out acts of war against us. why do we not just take out the entire militant group that we see? >> well, look, i think all these actions simply betray our fear of getting into a fight and when you are afraid of getting into a fight, the enemy acts accordingly and act with greater aggression and we are sending the wrong signals and these are the same people that were around back in the obama administration that want to placate iran

operate under the misguided notion that somehow iran can be coaxed in a peaceful position through congress and it just doesn't work. >> jonathan: former ambassador to israel, thank you for being here. >> rich: many americans are travelling abroad this week, is there a growing risk of kidnapping if you head to the wrong part of the world? why the biden administration is now calling this a national emergency. >> jonathan: plus another state making a ruling on whether to ban former president trump from the 2024 ballot. all as a top democrat warns his party to be careful what they wish for. fox news legal editor kerri kupec urbahn next. >> waiting for the adult in the room all of you clamoring and stretching the law in ways it's

got good news from the michigan supreme court. rejected the legal effort to reject him from the 2024 ballot. other states could join colorado in blocking the front runner gop contender. kerri kupec urbahn, but first to chad pergram live in washington. so, chad, why could michigan be more important than colorado here? >> chad: it's about the electoral college math, mr. trump is off the ballot in colorado for now, it's not a swing state. however, michigan is. the wolverine state could determine who wins the white house in 2024, why democrats hope to force former president trump off the ballot.

>> i think our focus needs to be on the fact that donald trump is likely going to be the republican nominee and we have to do everything we can to defeat him at the ballot box in 2024. >> chad: michigan has 15 electoral votes, president biden won michigan in 2020 but only by 85,000 votes. michigan hopes the supreme court takes up the colorado case. >> this is a political decision in colorado, they hate the guy's guts. but you talk about radical, they want to pack the supreme court to the left, they want to abolish the electoral college, have hr1 national votings, they are the radicals, not donald trump. so the colorado decision won't stand. it's time for us all to fight back. >> chad: the michigan case never went to trial. the supreme court decided election officials had no power to determine who is on the ballot. >> colorado is a different dynamic. the state does have a provision that requires the state certify

through the candidate that they are eligible to run. it's nuanced, but still shouldn't have mattered because you are applying the constitution. >> chad: here is the other dynamic. michigan is home to one of the largest arab american voting blocks in the country. many are displeased with how president biden handled the war in the middle east. rich. >> rich: chad, on michigan there, part of the old blue wall that president trump cracked in 2016, chad, thanks very much. jonathan. >> jonathan: rich, bring in kerri kupec urbahn, fox news legal editor and former counselor to attorney general bill barr. kerri, great to see you. is this the correct decision from a legal standpoint from the michigan supreme court, according to michigan's electoral laws? >> kerri: i certainly think so. the fact that judges could single handedly unilaterally remove the opportunity for an

entire block of voters, here republicans who want to vote for trump, remove that from them, strikes me as remarkably, it is unprecedented but not the way we do political or justice in this country and so they did make the right call and interesting to see if the supreme court getting involved now that we have dueling decisions from colorado and michigan. >> jonathan: as you look across the country, kerri, the states with active litigation are trying to prevent former president donald trump from getting on the ballot in 2024. it's pretty remarkable. he's that's got one victory today in michigan. he's going to need a lot more or one big one at the u.s. supreme court. >> kerri: yeah, and again, the supreme court as we all know has full discretion as to what they take up. i do think that these opposite decisions probably make it a bit more appealing, a bit more right for the supreme court to weigh in given to your point how we see some other challenges popping up across the country. but jonathan, being a former

justice department official, one thing that has struck me is that for a justice department that prides itself on voting rights and the ability of people to have unfetterred access at the ballot box and vote for the candidates of their choosing, something attorney general garland has been very passionate about and made statements and speeches and congressional testimony revolvend that, crickets with what happened in colorado. disenfranchising an entire block of voters and not having access to voting for the person they want to vote for, you can look right at colorado and i'm disappointed that the justice department is not being more consistent in how they are vigorously defending and advocating for the voting rights of all americans. >> jonathan: kerri, i'm intrigued as to what you think is going to play out in 2024 as we head toward the presidential election. which of the many legal cases that former president trump

faces do you think is the most perilous for him in terms of the justice for him and in terms of not making it to the presidential election itself? >> kerri: i think where he is most vulnerable from a legal perspective is the documents case, the classified documents case, given that the justice department claims to have him on the record blazenly talking about the documents in his possession, to get back over and over and over again, i think it makes it fairly difficult to maneuver out of. but i will say from a political perspective, the cases against the former president as we have seen only seem to be helping him in the polls and seem to be increasing his numbers, and i think the reason that is, is because people, even if they don't like trump, even if they think he's acted inappropriately, even if they think he's culpable in some of these cases, what they are seeing is a flawed individual

exposing a flawed justice system and seeing the law repeatedly only applied against one person over and over again and i think americans are upset about that. so they may not like trump but they are very upset about what they are seeing in the justice system and this uneven application of the law. >> jonathan: a flawed individual and a flawed justice system. happy new year, america. we'll see how this all plays out. it's going to be a busy year for you, kerri. thanks so much for being here. rich. >> rich: how much fun. speaking of that, vivek ramaswamy pulling ad buys ahead of the iowa caucuses and new hampshire primary. his campaign says he's reaching out in other ways, but could it be a sign it's on life support. the panel next. >> jonathan: "new york times" is suing over chatbots. what the suit is claiming of the

reaching out to voters in other ways. a strategy or response to limited funds and rapid decline in the polls. bring in fox news senior political analyst juan williams, and matt gorman. thank you for joining us today. look at the polls. in new hampshire, you've got the former president donald trump up on the field, nikki haley, chris christie, and iowa, trump leading at 51%, ramaswamy at 5%, is this about it of the ramaswamy campaign? >> is he on life support, i would call the family because things are not looking good. his high point, his peak early in the debates, august, september.

established himself as the rebel, you know, and made nikki haley and ron desantis into establishment republicans and you know, pretty much postured that he was the new donald trump on the scene. but that has evolved into rude, even hostile behavior on the debate stage that has not won him favor with voters or donors so far. his hope is the early work that he did, especially in iowa, comes as a surprise with people turning out at the caucuses in mid january for him but that's about the only hope he has at this point. >> rich: so matt, what does vivek need to do to keep it going? >> start running tv ads, number one. if people are pulling tv ads from the airwaves, it's a very, very bad sign. and we have people like this every time we have a campaign where folks pop and then they fade and it's really hard to sustain that. a few weeks ago he was out in the press bragging that he was

running tv ads saying he was not an idiot, it's important and necessary to do and you see this. he needs to overperform. hot and new over the summer, but when you are new and different you only have people's attention least, you need to keep the support, he's been failing to do that, and now especially over the holidays it's hard to resurrect in large numbers. >> rich: apologies to continuing the morbid theme here, but a comment in the "new york times" a long time desantis pollster and close adviser said the campaign needs to make the patient comfortable right now, illusion i guess to the fact they don't think it's going to be successful. what does ron desantis need to do to be successful in the first two campaigns, and first two contests? >> well, you know, a lot of this

towards desantis is about the ground game. he has bragged about the ground game, he's gotten endorsements from governor kim reynolds, the governor of iowa and some of the evangelical leaders in the state but his early investment in the ground game is the question. how successful has it been and will it show up on a cold january night in iowa. because right now, nikki haley has the momentum and with the surprise endorsement to some minds, anyway, that came from the coke brothers network, you node, american prosperity, she now has more money so she's up on tv, you know, to pick up on matt's point, she's running those ads and she's going to run and push people now with more on the ground troops knocking on doors for her. does desantis's early effort and the seeds he's planted, do they sprout or not. that's the question. >> rich: and this investment by

those supporting nikki haley, the brothers, and donald trump is up in the polls by a significant margin. does he need to win by a significant margin or is he opening it to a case where you have the high expectations and you are not meeting them? >> that's the keying for a lot of these folks. all expectation game, right. if desantis really overperforms his numbers so far, a win for him. nikki haley is getting a lot of buzz in new hampshire. she has to do very well there to meet her expectations. it's a fluid game whether you beat expectations or whether you don't. and absolutely, americans for prosperity, that brought nikki into the league with trump and with ron desantis and his evangelical network. especially northwest iowa where it's ruby red, a lot of caucus-goers can tilt the caucus one way or another. so don't sleep on americans for prosperity. that really helped her, and again, if nikki is successful in iowa where for ron desantis it's

iowa or bust, that could be a very rough morning the next day for ron desantis. figure out what he's going to do next. if he succeeds, probably a ticket to at least new hampshire or south carolina. >> rich: just a few weeks away. always a pleasure chatting with you. thanks very much. >> jonathan: you may have heard on the ban of apple watch sales in the u.s., now it's on hold for at least the time being. why a court just gave the tech giant more time to respond. >> rich: potential murder case, calling the death of a pregnant texas teen complex.

israel is under attack. the war against israel began with the murder of hundreds of precious children. countless israelis are enduring the devastating anguish of lost loved ones. the jewish people have become refugees in their own homeland. i simply can't stress enough the urgency of this situation. it's more dire than ever before. your gift of $45 will make sure that the people of israel have mobile bomb shelters, emergency supplies, and the hot nutritious meals that they so desperately need. this would be an incredibly important time for all of the friends of the international fellowship of christians and jews to stand with our friends in israel because we believe it's what god would have us do.

complex. >> what we are looking at right now is a very, very perplexing crime scene, and detectives right now are looking at this as a possible murder and but we don't know for sure. >> savanah's sister-in-law said she saw blood in the car and believes they were shot and the baby who would have been named fabian did not survive. the grandmother says the family is absolutely heart broken. >> i just want answers to who, what and why, she was a good girl, did not deserve to go this way, especially with her baby. he was an innocent child. nobody deserved this. >> police are not saying who may be responsible for the deaths but several family members said savanah has been in an abusive relationship for three years and a year ago her boyfriend beat her so hard she ended up in the
