tv   America Reports  FOX News  January 26, 2024 10:00am-11:00am PST

10:00 am
cannot speed and you are speeding for a legitimate reason and somebody on social media say, another imagine, imagine an empty highway in the middle of the night and you can only go 65. >> emily: totally, and wait for them to track you, the device on the car. >> more devices, etc. and it shows you now where they are going. and all the other stuff they have done is just led up to getting us acclimated to this idea. americans as we have talked about homicide have said, you know, not today satan. >> emily: unless you live in california. watch lisa on the big show, and don't forget to dvr the show when you can't watch us live. "america reports". >> sandra: any moment now we are expecting to hear directly from the white house as texas blows past this deadline ordering it
10:01 am
to reopen a key stretch of the southern border. we are watching both those live events happening right now. hello, welcome everyone, sandra smith in new york. gillian, great to have you here today. >> gillian: thank you, gillian turner out of washington in for john roberts. this is "america reports". that feud between president biden, texas governor greg abbott is ratcheting up by the hour now. >> sandra: some legal experts warn it could trigger a constitutional crisis. the president demanding the federal government have access to the 50 acre shelby park, likely remove the boxes and the razor wire along the rio grande. >> gillian: the latest on the ground inside eagle pass. >> sandra: right to peter doocy, live at the white house as we await this briefing. key to hear what we hear directly from the white house on all of this. for now, how far is this administration willing to take
10:02 am
their battle with texas? >> peter: it's a big tug-of-war, and they have to come up with something new either today or the next couple days, when asked about the border the administration talks about how there are negotiations going on in the senate between democrats and republicans and don't want to weigh in on the negotiations, if donald trump is putting pressure on republicans not to go along with the negotiations or whatever comes out of it and mitch mcconnell is privately saying the politics have changed, the bipartisan deal is probably not the best thing for the republicans, those negotiations are not something this white house is going to be able to go towards. it will be interesting, too, to hear how they talk about these 25 republican governors, other republican governors, half the governors in the country now siding with abbott because typically when they have a policy disagreement it is with
10:03 am
maga republicans. will they say that all -- every republican governor in the country is a maga republican, or will they recognize that there is possibly a true policy-based disagreement on immigration and on the border. sandra. >> sandra: as we await that briefing, we know you'll be in the room. peter doocy, thank you. gillian. >> gillian: team coverage continues at the southern border. texas is continuing to install more razor wire in attempt to keep migrants out. matt finn joins us from eagle pass, texas. tell us what you are seeing. >> right now the state of texas has not relinquished control of this park. the texas national guard is fiercely defending the property on the street and the rio grande river behind me. texas has not removed any razor wire. right now live texas is installing additional razor wire. today is the day the biden administration issued the deadline to texas to respond to
10:04 am
the federal government about how much, if any, texas plans on reopening this park to the feds. the texas attorney general tells us as it stands there are no plans to cooperate with that deadline or remove any more razor wire as it's basically serving as a border wall here. biden administration made it clear it wants full access to shelby park and the boat ramp and the international bridge. texas says border patrol has had access to the river and the boat ramp. the state does not want border patrol interfering with its razor wire mission on land. >> and we haven't said, if they have a medical emergency they can tell us and they will deal with it. they are bullying us and trying to get control of the two and a half acres, more for the point than actual need or any kind of necessity of saving anybody's life. that's just not true. they are lying. >> texas is now in its third week of seizing shelby park and
10:05 am
banning biden's border agents. texas defied the biden administration first deadline last week to reopen this park and now after the supreme court ruled in the biden administration favor, the u.s. government issued another deadline today. there's been this pending question whether there could be some type of physical confrontation between the federal government and the state of texas. so far ken paxton, the state attorney general and the national council for border patrol tell us they cannot imagine any type of physical showdown here, it would be hard to pit the national guard up against border patrol agents. we'll be here on the ground. we'll keep you updated. back to you. >> gillian: matt, thank you. >> sandra: shannon bream joining us now anchor of fox news sunday and chief legal correspondent. thanks for being here. this constitutional battle, where do you think it goes and how strong is abbott's case here against the biden administration? >> well, sandra, we may find out at the u.s. supreme court. they had a case that involved arizona passing its own state
10:06 am
laws dealing with immigration about ten years ago. and while it was a loser for the state of arizona, a lot has changed in the meantime. there are new justices, a different make-up of the court, and people are pointing to what justice scalia left behind, strike down parts of arizona's law but in his dissent he said essentially if states do not have the way or opportunity to pass laws that are not in conflict but work with federal laws to keep people out of their borders we should stop calling them sovereign states. that does not exist anymore. what governor abbott is doing is relying on two different constitutional articles that talk about invasion. one calls on the federal government to protect states against an invasion. the other says states have a way and a right to protect themselves if there is an invasion. that's the word that's going to make the entire case or break it for governor abbott, what constitutes an invasion. >> sandra: really good point. we'll see where that goes as some democrats are saying they
10:07 am
want this white house to seize control of the texas national guard. the white house seemed to punt on that yesterday. can the white house do that, shannon? >> shannon: exceptionally rare but think back to the late 1950s after brown v. board of education where there were students showing up, black students to try to integrate the schools as had been ordered. in arkansas the national guard was actually used by the governor there in 1957 to block these students from getting into class and dwight d. eisenhower, the president at the time, did take federal control of the national guard and tell them they could not be used to do that. >> sandra: important to get these in here, governor brian kemp of georgia and another standing in solidarity with abbott, two governors. listen. >> this is a no-brainer. every state now is a border state. the white house and joe biden obviously doesn't get it or they don't care. >> number one responsibility of the federal government is to secure the nation and they
10:08 am
haven't done it. job one is to secure the border. >> sandra: does seem there are more and more governors stepping up and standing behind the texas governor on this issue, shannon. >> shannon: and to the specific issue on the razor wire, the supreme court issued an order earlier, struck down a lower court's order, did not hear the case on the merits but this case is now before the fifth circuit on february 7th. once there is a decision there, whoever loses i think takes this right back to the supreme court so they may actually have to weigh in on the merits and that's going to send a signal to states across the country. >> sandra: before you go in the georgia election interference case, shannon, your thoughts on the co-defendant, jeffrey clark's legal team arguing in court that all communication between the district attorney fani willis and the biden administration should be turned over. here is jeffrey clark's lawyer at the hearing yesterday, shannon. >> the white house has its
10:09 am
fingerprints on all four criminal prosecutions of president trump and now we know they have their fingerprints on this case. >> sandra: so where do you think this all goes, shannon? >> shannon: those co-defendants are going to fight tooth and nail to get rid of the georgia case in any way they can. argument here, implication here, if they were coordinating with the white house and there are records of some meetings, was this a political hit job becomes the question. so, we are going to hear more about the communications, the fight over getting those and whether that will sideline this case. at best, most folks think it might delay it. we have to wait and see. >> sandra: it's a lot to watch, shannon. thanks so much. >> shannon: see you sunday. >> gillian: closing arguments wrapped up in e.j. carroll civil defamation case against president trump. the jury will start deliberating. alexis mcadams outside the court how's in lower manhattan.
10:10 am
what are the top take-aways for us? >> hey, gillian. it was a tense day inside of that courtroom here in manhattan, inside of that federal courthouse. as soon as carroll's team started closing arguments, trump walked right out of that courtroom. so that's just some of the things that happened there inside. take a look, these are some of the sketches from what's going on throughout this time for this ongoing trial. trump has been in and out of new york a lot for this case. the deliberations will start after they heard from both sides. carroll's team says he's so rich and powerful he can do whatever he wants, and time to pay for his actions here. trump's team saying the case has more holes in it than swiss cheese and the people who sent death threats on twitter are sick but trump shouldn't have to pay for their comments. both trump and carroll arriving for what could be the final day of this ongoing trial. this week trump testified that
10:11 am
he stands by his 2022 deposition where he denied knowing carroll and denied her allegations. he also said he never directed anyone to hurt her. when trump tried to add sentences of explanation on the stand, the judge cut him off and struck all the answers after he said yes and no from the record. on his way out of the courtroom yesterday trump was muttering this is not america. so we know carroll won that civil lawsuit against trump last year. the jury ruled trump is liable for sexual abuse and said he did defame her. that case, or this case, rather, centers on additional defamation for comments in 2019 when donald trump was president. pt and the jury will be instructed whether he injured her. and we are waiting to see more of what goes on, you can see trump's motorcade outside the federal courthouse, and what happens on the ground. we are expecting, though, the jury could deliver a verdict
10:12 am
this afternoon and also important to point out inside the courtroom today, carroll's team upped the damages, it was 10 million, right now they are asking for at least $12 million. we'll keep an eye on that. >> gillian: alexis mcadams, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: united nations now investigating a claim that 12 of its staffers were involved in the hamas attack on october 7th. this just in to us. the u.s. now pausing aid to the united nations relief and work agency which serves palestinians. alex hogan has the latest on what we are now hearing from tel aviv. hi, alex. >> i just reached out to unrah, they did stay staffers have been let go, even before the investigation begins released statements saying in part israeli authorities have
10:13 am
provided information of the alleged involvement of several employees in the horrific employees on israel on october 7th, as well as my employee involved in the acts of terror will be held accountable, including through criminal prosecution. earlier today the u.n. top court stopped short of demanding an end to the war or calling for a ceasefire, but did call for the need for israel to take serious measures to prevent genocide and the issue are four requirements israel take measures to prevent injuries, killing and destruction, measures to prevent any kind of incitement or acts of violence, preserve evidence of any acts of violence and the country also will need to report how it will be abiding by these regulations in about a month's time. benjamin netanyahu is responding to the ruling saying israel's commitment to international law is unwavering and like every country, israel has a right to defend itself. as the idf pushes forward into gaza, the military says it has
10:14 am
uncovered as many as 200 tunnels in the city of khan younis as well as more than 130 military sites. and during these proceedings, the court noted that 93% of gaza's population is now facing hunger and malnutrition. roughly 2 million people have been displaced and aid workers are warning of the growing cases of disease. hamas released a new video of the hostages, three women still in captivity held by hamas. a lot of pressure here, sandra, from the families of those hostages, but there are reportedly more talks on the way between u.s., israel, qatar, hopefully in the days to come, sandra. l>> sandra: alex hogan on the breaking news. thank you. and plenty more on that coming up with former cia station chief dan hoffman when he joins us live. alleged iowa campus killer attorney tries to get his
10:15 am
indictment thrown out, again. we'll tell you why, plus this. >> you and president biden's approval ratings historic low. president at 38, you at 37. why do you think that is? >> gillian: wait until you hear how the vice president explained those approval ratings. we have ari fleischer to weigh in on that coming up next. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are looking up, i've got symptom relief. ♪ ♪ control of my crohn's means everything to me. ♪ ♪ control is everything to me. ♪ feel significant symptom relief at 4 weeks with skyrizi, including less abdominal pain and fewer bowel movements. skyrizi is the first il-23 inhibitor that can deliver remission and visibly improve damage of the intestinal lining. and the majority of people experienced long-lasting remission at one year. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections or a lower ability to fight them may occur.

10:19 am
>> gillian: welcome back. vice president kamala harris is claiming low public approval for the job the white house is now doing is the result of a messaging problem. she says they are not taking enough credit for their accomplishments. take a listen. >> i think what the american people want most in their leaders is that we actually get
10:20 am
things done and we have done it. we have not taken adequate credit for it, frankly, and we got to do a better job of getting the word out about what we have accomplished and who did it. >> gillian: well, former white house press secretary ari fleischer joins us now, a fox news contributor and knows a thing or two about messaging out of the white house. 68% of americans polled by fox news say they disagree or disapprove of the way the biden administration is handling the border, that's the statistic behind this, that prompted the vice president to make those comments. it's becoming a bit of a late motif when defending policy that is polling poorly they tend to say well, it was a messaging problem, we just messed up with the messaging. what do you make of that strategy? >> ari: well, i would love to see vice president harris follow through on that.
10:21 am
i believe her, that problem is they have not credit, so she should go to the southern border and claim credit for the southern border, stand on camera with all the illegal immigrants coming in on the border behind her. she should go to a gas station and claim credit and let people compare what they pay when joe biden came into office for what they pay now. go to a coffee shop and do the same thing. let people see how the price of coffee has gone up since they got there. she wants more credit, i would love nothing more than for her to try to claim it. >> gillian: she has claimed multiple times, ari, since the president sort of announced and tapped her to lead efforts to try and come up with solutions to the border crisis that she is not, in fact, in charge of that operation. she has deflected comments that she is the "border czar," and said i'm not in charge of the border. do you think that's a place the white house should be clearer how they are handling things?
10:22 am
>> ari: so much for claiming credit. either she's going to claim credit or duck responsibility. and i guess she wants to duck responsibility. she was named to be in charge of the border, one of the first things she did was go to central and south america to spend more money, american taxpayer money on problems in south and central america as if that would alleviate the huge millions of people who are pouring over our border. so she's just in denial. i don't think i've ever seen a worse vice president or candidate ever, why gillian, i was facetious and i hope she tries to claim credit and has a very prominent role in joe biden's re-election. it would be the best thing for republicans, the worst thing for democrats if democrats listen to kamala harris. >> gillian: interestingly, ari, over the past week now both the president himself and now the vice president have acknowledged that there is a major problem at the southern border. take a listen. >> there's no question our
10:23 am
immigration system is broken. and it needs to be fixed. >> the border is secure, sir? >> no, it's not. >> gillian: what do you think is driving that messaging about face? >> ari: failure. that's what's driving it. remember, this is an administration that came into office saying the problem on the border was seasonal, people come at certain seasons of the year, up and down and refuse to use the word crisis when most of american was using the word crisis for ten years or longer to talk about the border and now they have realized as soon as chicago and new york and democratic mayors are complaining about it they needed to pay attention. as long as it was a red state problem, border problem, they paid no attention. about you now constituents, it's a terrible way to govern. they are stuck with it. the nation's number one issue and trying to cling back into credibility but i think they are starting from such a deep hole
10:24 am
they can't do it. >> gillian: so you know, in their own words, the president and the vice president and the press secretary have been pushing back on the polling, somehow insinuating it does not reflect reality or the way voters really feel. this is call for 1. >> i know the polling numbers are not good, but they were the same way when i ran and one, everybody thought i was going to get clobbered. >> we understand polls don't vote, people vote, that's really important to remember. >> gillian: what do you make of that? >> ari: again, total denial. nobody thought he was going to get clobbered, nobody said that about the trump-biden race and two, it was a problem during his election and he ignored it. he's the one during the primaries who made a bigger problem by saying when he ran against fellow democrats, come, come to the border. he sent that message that the border was open. why do you think so many
10:25 am
immigrants came here illegally saying biden, let us in, biden, biden, we love biden. they knew they had a weakness in the white house and they exploited it. look, what will secure the border more than anything, more than any compromise, more than legislation, for people to fear they can't get in. if they fear they can't get in, the word will get back, don't try it, it won't work. if they say we can get in they'll come in droves. that's the difference between trump and biden. they feared trump, they didn't try. they think biden is a patsy, they are all coming. >> gillian: we are just learning chinese officials say they are going to meet with biden administration officials some time next week, don't know what day, to try to curb the fentanyl trafficking across the southern border. maybe they can make progress on this issue by, you know, carving away one element of it at a time. we have to leave it there, thanks for taking time. great to talk to you as always.
10:26 am
>> ari: thank you, gillian. >> sandra: so the white house press briefing is under way. karine jean-pierre just did a little housekeeping and she's headed off to the head of the climate change policy. he right now is updating on the administration stalling natural gas exports as activists have called them climate bombs. this is really sort of a thunderous, you know, happening in the energy industry happening right now. we are listening for an update in the white house. peter doocy is in the room. and waiting for the border standoff. into the briefing room as the news warrants. now this. >> you are going to stop the spending. ok if you don't go on the vacation, it's ok if you don't have the latest handbag, it's ok if you don't have the latest skin care product. >> gillian: gen zers are turning to what they call loud budgeting. what is it, does it work?

>> president biden will never stop fighting to lower costs and give hard working american families more breathing room. this stands in stark contrast with house republicans who don't have a plan to lower cost and whose maganomics fails the middle class, cuts to social security, medicaid, medicare, and higher cost from prescription drugs to utility bills. >> sandra: live at the white house a few moments ago, art and dan, thanks to both of you for being here. so, karine jean-pierre, the president's press secretary, appears to be bashing maganomics as trump era policies. i'm not sure how you interpret
10:32 am
that. but as far as i'm concerned, they are touting an economy we are spending a lot of money to get to the growth reported just yesterday. art. >> they are doing that, they are spending -- there is just no limit to their hypocrisy. under presume, maganomics was born and lived and we had operation warp speed, brought the covid vaccine faster than ever before, probably six years faster. we had tax cuts that created the greatest prosperity ever, especially for the poor, the minorities and disenfranchised. decontrol of energy now net exporters of energy, we had transparency in healthcare, which was desperately needed. deregulation, we had low interest rates throughout the whole period and then look at the catastrophe that is bidenomics, and embarrassing
10:33 am
what she says, to be honest. >> sandra: they are leaning on some figures to tout, unemployment is historically low, dan, gdp growth reported yesterday, even larry kudlow says we have to acknowledge this looks pretty good. you have a stock market all time highs. so do they have a leg to stand on, bashing maga -- first time i've heard them reference that. >> sure, it's not to say that the current economy is terrible because it's not as you mentioned, unemployment rate is basically a low, the number of people filing for weekly unemployment benefits basically a low, and the stock market is at or close to a record high and those are positives. but the current economy with a price, and that price is the higher price for things throughout the economy from the cost of food at the supermarket to the cost of food if you go out to eat to plane tickets, to etc., etc. >> sandra: oh, that, it's costing us a lot to get to this
10:34 am
growth. this is the climate adviser, he's in charge of the administration's climate change policy. he's right now talking about the president choosing to hit the pause button on these approvals of liquified natural gas exports. this is having huge reaction in the energy industry in this country right now. joe manchin is promising to investigate this freeze on behalf with of the biden administration. what's happening here? this is one of our most valuable resources in the country? >> yeah, waging war against energy. that's pure and simple and it's just true. it's hurting the economy a lot. by the way, also not only are prices high, but if you look at employment, sandra, i know that the unemployment rate is low, but so is the employment rate. a lot of people have just left the labor force and even if you look at the gdp growth, which is nice, 3.1% for the year, it's pretty nice number, it's not phenomenal but pretty nice.
10:35 am
if you look at output, if you look at output compared to the trends prior to covid-19, we are way below those trends. so all the niceness of growth rates and that, interest rates are coming down and inflation is coming down but prices are high and interest rates are high. all of those are worse than they were under maganomics, and by the way, i don't understand why make america great is a slur and use it as attacking a person. it's exactly what ronald reagan said back in the 1980s and it's the right thing to do is make america great again. >> sandra: interesting. well, if things are so great, i wonder why this is all the talk on tiktok, dan, users dishing on loud budgeting. listen here. >> loud budgeting has the same feeling as sneaking candy into a movie theater. you feel you got away with something. you feel like you are on an adventure. >> stop the lulu spending, it's
10:36 am
ok if you don't have the latest handbag or the latest skin care product. >> stop doing things low cost, all go to someone's house and bring a plate of food, or go to the park. >> sandra: fewer and fewer young americans are financially independent in this country, breaking out by age. overall, 45%. just, 45% say they are financially independent, and more and more adults, i was going to say young adults, adults into their 30s are living with their parents or financially dependent on their parents. why is this happening, dan? >> maybe they have very nice parents, and that might explain some portion of it. but let me just say your 20s are for doing foolish things and sometimes foolish things cost a lot of money. but the best piece of advice i give people, i don't do it and i suffer from it every day, to live in your means. spends less than you make, save,
10:37 am
save, save, you'll be much happier over time. obviously the kids on the tiktok are discovering my famous advice. >> sandra: art, it's a real thing. loud budgeting, i guess you have more and more people like that, i'm not going to buy my popcorn and candy, i'm going to sneak it in, trying to save a few dollars in the high priced environment. good to see both of you. art, i feel you need a final word on that. >> thank you. >> i'll just say i love this tiktok. the dave ramsey for young people. i just love what they are doing and i love the way they are doing it. i have six kids, 14 grandkids, and four great grandkids and i love seeing them be conscientious. economics is always the same. >> thank you. >> gillian. >> gillian: thank you, sandra. taylor swift the latest victim of deep fake fraudsters, fake

that's a pretty incredible reach. >> absolutely, gillian. it goes for a couple different things over the course of the year, like apple air tags, they were not started for nefarious reasons but human beings used them as such. and deep fakes were started for entertainment, storytelling, but it could ruin someone's reputation. then ask, what can be done, of course there's a lot that can be done, it starts at the federal level as well, i think the government needs to get involved if we are going to advance further in a.i. i had a gentleman on my podcast in 2019, and hey, we are coming up on election year, 2020, and what happens if deep fakes are being used for the candidates and the spread of misinformation, what can we do and he said there were a few laws in place. you have privacy laws, nil, name, image and likeness, but some target the use of technology for illegal purposes, in this case pornography would
10:47 am
fall under that umbrella, but it's important to realize that was in 2019 and if it keeps happening more needs to be done. that is why there was a piece of legislation reintroduced to the house judiciary committee that would make something like this, what happened to taylor swift, a federal crime and i think that's a step in the right direction. >> gillian: as you mentioned, abby, it's not confined to the entertainment realm. the justice department is investigating accusations that criminal fraudsters generated these sort of a.i. audio versions of president biden's voice that sound just like him in between the iowa caucuses and the new hampshire primary. this call was going out to registered democrats telling them not to vote. >> what's scary, too, gillian, deep fakes can be used on live images. if someone is livestreaming something, it can be used for that as well. all they need, really, is a few images of the person, something downloaded from the internet and
10:48 am
then you can actually put that face on someone else. so if you are telling voters this, and it's really hard as a regular person, as hard as you look and look around, you are not a tech analyst nor should you be expected to be, so it's really tough for people to recognize that and i think people should use common sense, do their research and the onous, make sure the images are not uploaded and taken down immediately and not allowed to be seen 45 million times. >> gillian: gill abby, we have to leave it there. we have some breaking news at the white house. thanks for taking time with us. >> sandra: admiral kirby at the microphone asked about the u.n. agency firing staff members over alleged involvement in the october 7th attacks. >> we welcome the u.n. secretary general and the commissioner general, their comments calling for a full investigation. secretary blinken made clear in his call with the secretary general yesterday we expect that
10:49 am
that will be a complete and thorough and transparent investigation. we all want to see that, it's good for everybody and that those who are -- who are -- who should be or properly held accountable for that. and as you saw, the u.n. said even including the potential for criminal prosecution. >> thank you, karine and admiral. death toll in gaza is staggering, reportedly now more than 26,000. is there anything at this point that would stop the president from supporting netanyahu? >> we continue to believe that israel needs -- >> sandra: so we are going to continue to monitor this briefing. the u.s. halting funding for the u.n. agency amid claims that staff took part in the october 7th attack, so we are going to continue monitoring this briefing for any more questions about this and answers from john kirby, karine jean-pierre will likely take to the microphone in a few minutes as well. we also want to get an update on

of the drug itself or simply from exposure to the cold and really being unable to help themselves. >> nate: kansas city police say it's not a homicide investigation and willis is not a suspect. the results of the toxicology report will depend when the examination occurred. medical examiner would not tell us when that happened but the earliest you can expect results is in about three weeks. >> gillian: nate foy in new york city, thank you. >> sandra: a live look at our southern border, eagle pass, texas at this hour. as texas defies president biden and installs even more of that razor wire to keep migrants from crossing. former federal prosecutor is here whether he sees the lone star state succeeding in court. >> gillian: plus florida may be inching closer to banning kids from using social media all together. but is the proposal unconstitutional? we'll dig into it.
