life. tell me you want to put a roadblock up for president trump trying to remove these criminal threats from the country. it is disgusting. >> sandra: you have been seeing it play out in real time, republicans hitting the ground running as president-elect trump continues to roll out new picks for his cabinet. announcing several new additions in just the last 24 hours alone. hello and welcome everyone. i'm senator smith in new york. john, great to be with you on this friday. >> john: great to be with you, sandra. it's amazing how quickly the president-elect is rolling his cabinet out. i'm john roberts in washington. this is "america reports." one of the latest members to join trump's team is robert f. kennedy jr. will take on the head roll at the department of health and human services if he is confirmed. >> sandra: bill melugin is live in west palm beach, florida, to kick things off for us. hello, bill. >> hey, sandra, good afternoon to you. it feels like if you have gottn to the point you might blink and miss something because donald trump is making these announcements at such a rapid

pace. he made seven of these picks yesterday alone. the last of which happened right here in florida last night regarding north dakota governor doug bergen. take a listen. >> i won't tell you the name, the exact name, think he is an incredible person, might be something like bergen, bergen, he is going to be announced tomorrow for a very big position to head the department of interior and going to be fantastic. >> in the meantime "the new york times" is reporting that elon musk had a secret meeting with the iranian ambassador to the united states earlier this week in new york city come apparently an effort to try to cool down tensions in the middle east. musk has been heavily involved in the transition so far. he was at mar-a-lago with trump last night where he said they are planning to shake everything up. >> i think this is going to be the most -- perhaps since the founding of the country. [applause] it is not going to be business as usual.

we are going to shake things up. it's going to be a revolution. >> now you guys were just talking about trump's splashy-est and most controversial pick was his choice of rfk jr. to head up the health and human services department. democrats were quick to pounce on that, democratic house minority leader hakeem jeffries who said today he is not impressed with the pick. take a listen. >> the former president promised on the campaign trail that americo would have the best economy, the best border security, and the best administration possible. and the question that we have to all ask, are these the best individuals available? >> and it's important to point out that hhs is not just a health agency. if he ends up getting confirmed, rfk jr. would play a role in trump's border agenda.

why is that? well, because hhs is the agency that takes care of unaccompanied migrant children who show up at the border. once border patrol gets them, they transferred to hhs, hhs takes care of them, than they have to find and fat adult sponsors for them across the cof something goes wrong with the care of these migrant children, that can be a very politically perilous position to be in, so we will have to see how it all plays out. send it back to you peered. >> sandra: all right, bill melugin live in west palm beach, thank you. john? >> john: sandra, proceedings in a georgia courtroom of jose ibarra, illegal immigrant from venezuela charged with killing 22-year-old nursing student laken riley. the prosecution opened with a detailed summary of the evidence of the case they say ties ibarra to the horrific crime and also described how the victim fought long and hard or her life. the defense tried to dismiss the evidence in its first or marks, calling it all "circumstantial."

fox news team coverage andy mccarthy joins us in just moments. but we begin with madison scarpino live outside the courthouse in athens, georgia. madison? >> hello john. we have already heard a lot of testimony from multiple witnesses, including laken riley's three roommates who say they were more like family. but perhaps the most shocking testimony so far has come from the uta police officer who found riley's lifeless body on campus, and we are about to play some audio of that, and we do want to warn our viewers that this may be disturbing, listen. >> [bleep]. ma'am. ma'am. ma'am. she's out. she's not breathing. starting cpr now. >> during opening statements, the prosecutor said that jose ibarra went out hunting for

women the day that riley was murdered. she said that when riley refused to be ibarra's rape victim, he bashed her skull in with a rock several times. the prosecutor also says riley and ibarra's interaction was long and that riley put up a fight. they say she struggled with ibarra for over 15 minutes. now prosecutors also showed surveillance video ibarra showing a jacket into the jump-start. her family was sobbing during all of this, understandably, but ibarra's defense claims that the evidence in this case just is not strong enough, and the judge expects testimony to end around 5:00 p.m. today. it's going to resume on monday. if convicted, ibarra faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. back to you. >> john: it really is remarkable that most of the family was able to stay in the courtroom during that. madison scarpino for us in athens, thank you. sandra? >> sandra: andy mccarthy, former assistant u.s. attorney and fox news contributor, obviously incredibly disturbing details emerging from the

courtroom, including this moment, andy, where the prosecution detailed the bloody fingerprint the prosecution alleged on laken riley's phone. >> they were calling the phone, pinging the phone, her phone was on silent. this is what daniela stewart saw on her iphone, exactly where your phone would be if you go to hang up a call on the iphone, the bottom of the iphone, she found this latent print in blood. >> sandra: obviously very detailed evidence being presented in court, so where does that bring this case? >> well, you know, the evidence seems like it is overwhelming to me. i am puzzled, although you have to play the hand you are dealt if you are a defense lawyer, but to complain that this is a circumstantial case, that's an argument that you would usually make to a jury, but this is a bench trial, and judge haggard is a very experienced jurist who

handled a lot of high-profile cases. prosecutors like circumstantial evidence cases, especially if you have enough circumstantial evidence, because there are things, sandra, like fingerprints, dna evidence, data from cell phones and that sort of stuff, that can't be cross-examined. you know, if you can establish that it is what it is, and it ties to the crime scene, that's not the kind of thing you can knock down, whereas if you have a case that is not circumstantial but say it is built on the testimony of an insider or an accomplice, if they defense lawyer can do a good job dismantling the witness' testimony on cross-examination, you can do a lot of damage to the prosecution's case, but with the kind of forensic details that we are talking about here, those are very strong circumstances, and for an experienced judge like haggard, i think he will be impressed by that evidence. >> sandra: as damning is that

evidence may seem, andy, this was ibarra's defense trying to raise doubts in the courtroom about who exactly was using ibarra's phone. listen. >> when they looked into this phone, when they did a close examination of who was using this phone, it wasn't just jose ibarra. it was other people in that apartment who are using this phone. while the phone was there, that's true. it doesn't show that mr. ibarra was there. >> sandra: so obviously laken riley's phone is being presented as evidence. his phone is being used as evidence, as well, making the case that somebody else could have been at the scene? >> yeah, well, c, this is another kind of argumentation that i don't think is going to be effective with an experienced trial judge. in every case, what a defense

lawyer tries to do, particularly in so-called circumstantial cases, is take every piece of evidence in isolation and try to detract from why it's an important piece of evidence in the case. and judges in every criminal case instruct the jury that pieces of evidence are supposed to be looked at not in isolation, but in conjunction. so you have to look at all of the different strands of evidence at once. and it's true. they may be able to knock down one. they may be able to discount another. but when you look at the whole thing as a mosaic, rather than as it comes to you piece by piece by piece, it becomes very difficult to mount a defense that way. >> sandra: want to finish off with this last piece of evidence, where the ibarra defense, andy, tries to raise doubts about who was actually seen in that key surveillance video near the crime scene. listen here. >> you'll hear that someone in

that video, in the so-called dumpster video, was wearing an adidas hat. that's true. when they find that hat, and specifically the hat that was tested in this case, it was worn diego ibarra, not jose ibarra. >> sandra: how important you see that moment in all of this? >> well, i would have thought it was much more important, sandra, if the lawyer had taken the next step and said that diego was the guilty party here, not jose, the brother, but of course he didn't want to go there. he is just trying to so doubt, and again, i don't think you can make a point or two on every single individual piece of evidence, but once you weave them together, it is very hard to dismantle the mosaic. >> sandra: got it. just an incredibly difficult case in the courtroom to watch there, this evidence going

forward, thank you very much, andy. we'll keep watching it. >> thank you. >> it is our responsibility to maintain democracy, to have the views of all readers, national readers, to be aired because if you just have the one side it becomes nothing else but an echo chamber. >> john: the owner of the "los angeles times" says it is time for the paper to be more fair and balanced peered how he plans to go about that coming u. >> sandra: plus left-leaning organization struggling to rally support against president-elect trump's second term. karl rove is up next on why the so-called resistance is losing steam next. ♪ open. ♪ ♪ over 600,000 usps employees working in sync to ensure everything sent on its holiday ride

billionaire owner patrick soon-shiong prepares to replace some members of the editorial board. he says it's time for all voices to be heard. all of this following the papers controversial decision to cancel its plan endorsement of vice president kamala harris. senior national correspondent william la jeunesse is live from los angeles and has more on all of it. william, was the canceled endorsement the straw that broke the camel's back here? >> sandra, that and a column readers called sexist and racist for saying white women elected trump. one of america's largest papers admitting to a political bias and promising to fix it. >> we need to have all voices, the right, the left, and the moderate, the center. it's going to be risky and difficult. i'm going to take a lot of heat, which i already am, but i come from the position that really it's important for all voices to be heard. >> so this comes after years of the times mudslinging and

disparaging coverage of donald trump. a trump rally doubles down on hatred, says one headline, and sure, harris isn't ideal but trump is a disgrace, set another. than on the opinion page, the times called trump a vindictive authoritarian, cons consummate t and malignant narcissist where his harris was called a fiery, swaggering speech maker. a commanding candidate, smart and compelling. so when soon-shiong recommended a harris comparison of harris and trump, three editors resignn protest. >> we have spent eight years railing against trump, and a resignation letter. do you think that hurts public trust? >> the fact we wrote over the last four years, i don't believe there is news or it was opinion. and mostly it was opinion.

but conflated as if it's news. >> it needs to be labeled. >> exactly. and i'm going to do that. >> so the bottom line is dr. patrick soon-shiong wants a fair and balanced newspaper. the irony is, sandra, one editor who resigned said we are a liberal paper, our readers are mostly harris supporters. trump won more california counties than harris, including four in metro l.a. back to you. >> sandra: just incredible. thank you for that story, william. john? >> john: karl rove, fox news contributor, former white house deputy chief of staff. when you look at hello the map and the colors of california change, patrick soon-shiong seems to be on the right track, i don't want to say leftward tilt of the "l.a. times," but the complete leftward lean of the "l.a. times." if it wants to survive for the long-term, may need to move toward the middle, karl. >> yeah, well, look, we used to rely upon our daily newspaper to be an in-depth source of facts about things.

and it was one thing to read the editorial page, where it could have been liberal if it was "the new york times" or the l.a. paper, or it could have been conservative if it was the indianapolis paper, the oklahoma city paper, but increasingly, what appeared on the editorial page of literal papers began to appear in the news columns, obsessively is news. the biases were obvious, they have been so for years and years and years. people in the east to of gone to the same colleges, live in the same neighborhoods, socialize, interact with each other a lot and are by and large blind to the fact there liberal views are out of touch with the american people and that there liberal views are coloring what ought to be objective journalism. >> john: when you take a look at the way the left was aligning against trump rate have governors of new york like kathy hochul, new jersey murphy, pritzker in illinois, all saying that they are part of the resistance and if trump is coming for our rights, he's

coming through me. but apparently this idea of funding the resistance is going down like a leaky blimp. listen to what "politico" said, "the resistance is not coming to save you. it's tuning out. this time there is no menacing foreign power to expose, archaic constitutional provision to bemoan, or bumbling fbi director to blame, and there is no sense of anomaly, either. the people, in their wisdom, made trump the legitimate president. and the fact that he swept every swing state, won the popular vote, and really has a mandate to govern, he's got people who wanted to be part of the resistance kind everything a whether or not that is on the right track. >> yeah, well, i think there are two things in play. one is the instinct of the american people after the election to give, regardless of your views, to say i might not have voted for him or her, but they won and i'm going to give them a period of grace, and that is what is happening among a lot of ordinary people. they are saying, you know what,

election is over, let's step back, regardless of how i voted, maybe i didn't support president trump but let's give him a moment, let's see how he does. the second thing that's happening here is i think there are a lot of donors to left-wing causes antidemocratic groups who have said, you know what, i have been fighting this thing for eight years and look at what is got me. we succeeded in 2020, kicking the guy out, but we got joe biden and how great was that for our country? and then we put lots of money to stop them from coming back. so maybe i ought to just trust the people who have been spending my money extensively to feed him and step back from that a little bit and make a judgment about -- these two things, -- the desire of donors to see some effectiveness of the money they spent and when they see it has been misspent or spent to no good gain, they are stepping back, those two things are happening simultaneously. >> john: we saw the "l.a. times" there is a move

toward the middle, according to the owner. but what about the other media outlets that really appear to be not only part of the resistance against trump but part of the campaign for kamala harris? >> well, look, we've gotten a little bit of that. the viewership for msnbc, prime time viewership is down 36% since the election. cnn down 19%. up 56% at fox. so what does this tell us? these same two impulses are out there. the impulse of i'm fed up with politics. i'm going to -- and i'm going to take a break. i'm going to give the guy, maybe i didn't support him, a chance, and i'm going to step back. msnbc and cnn. we also have the contra impulse which is my guy won, let me hear more about what he is doing. i want to hear what he is going to do with the cabinet and how he is taking it all in stride and that is probably why this has gone up because we have covered the transition like we did the biden transition probably more than some of the

other networks have done. look, people, ordinary people are commonsensical, and they are going to say you know what, the election is over, give the d guy his do, maybe i support him, maybe i didn't, but it is time to step back and be americans rather than partisan. >> john: i don't want to let the cat out of the bag and give some advice to our competition but i think there is a big story to be told, karl, in the coming days about how this country is going to fundamentally change on january the 20th, and we will be there all the way along the way. and you will be there with us, carl, appreciate it. have a great weekend. >> you too, john. >> sandra: great to have karl on today. meanwhile president trump set to meet with china's xi jinping tomorrow as attention turns to president-elect trump's promise to enact tariffs on chinese imports. our economic experts are in the house. they will react. >> john: plus our viewers note

>> president joe biden right now in lima, peru, going to tell president xi jinping the open lines of communication should stay open. national security advisor jake sullivan says that he is also going to stress that the u.s. transition of power will be smooth. >> the president has demonstrated that the u.s. and the prc can manage our differences and prevent competition from peering into conflict or confrontation, and he has done that by ensuring the maintenance of open lines of communication at the leader level, the military level, and at every level of our respective governments. >> now a small nonlethal weapons manufacturer for people and apartments, an example of the effect of trump on business in china. five years ago, $250,000 in sales for its first entire year. last quarter, three months, the company sold $27 million. expanded production in china under t the biden-harris administration.

worried about harris and administration burdensome regulations. the ceo ordered production out of china within the next six months and plans to expand its facility now in fort wayne, indiana, and eventually increased to 175 employees. >> there's 115 components that go into each launcher, driven making them across the world. since the pandemic, we have really been working hard to source everything in the united states, but with the election of donald trump, and what is cleared to be more tariffs on china, we have really hastened that. >> he says his vendors are also moving back to the united states, and he has seen that announcement accelerate since the election of president-elect donald trump as china is now watching business investment from the u.s. in their country dwindle. back to you, john. >> john: during the campaign trump made the case that imposing tariffs would bring business back to the united states. looks like that is already beginning. edward lawrence for us from

1600 pennsylvania. >> sandra: let's bring in our econ panel, doug holtz-eakin and dan greenhaus. first off, doug, we are seeing reporting right now, bloomberg is reporting that wall street ceos and executives are cheering this trump victory. said they were leading the other way into election day, now the stock market is up and they are apparently very happy. so where was all of that concern about all of the tariffs? >> well, i think the tariffs remain the uncertainty, but everything else breaks the direction they would like. a much better tax bill out of congress next year. they get the regulatory regime that we saw when he was president before, specifically astonishing in its ability to control costs imposed on the private sector, and as a result they have a much better business climate. we will see how the tariffs work out. i don't think the chinese tariffs are actually the big issue. those went in the first term,

kept by the biden administration, mr. trump said he will raise to 60%, we can debate how much of impact that will have but the notion that somehow knew trade war is about to develop, it's been going on for a long time. and it is a unified republican democratic opposition to the way china conducts itself in international affairs and that has not changed and is not going to change. >> sandra: the president-elect really stuck to his messaging during his campaign. we put together clips of various moments on the campaign trail where he seemed to tout the beauty of these tariffs. voters knew this when they elected him. here is some of what he was saying on the trail. >> it's the most beautiful word in the dictionary, tariff. it will save our country peered only stupid people don't want to use it. i can make anybody do anything through the use of tariffs. i can keep people out of war. biden hasn't been able to get rid of them because they make so much damn money they can't justify getting rid of them.

they want to build a plant in mexico owned by china so that they can save all the costs associated with bringing their cars, all of the things, i'm going to put 100% tariff on every single car coming out of that plant. >> sandra: he pitched it and americans voted for it, dan. >> that's exec the right. this wasn't a secret. not that doug was saying it was. everybody knew this was going to happen. i think the one issue you have seen consensus change on is the purpose of the tariffs. we can debate, as doug said, how large they are going to be, when they are going in, on what items will be tariff, but i also think there's an argument put forth by the robert lighthizers of the world, made a similar case, there is a national security component here, that you can't win world war ii, world war iii if you are buying all of your steal from your adversary, and i think there is a separate argument that doesn't get made enough, which is that some of those core items, those base

really should see production in the united states may be if they are at a higher cost, which is a position i'm not necessarily conceding, but even so. >> sandra: doug, to dan's point, the president-elect did make the case for various reasons for these tariffs, including stopping fentanyl trafficking. here he was in another moment on the campaign trail. >> lose 300,000 people to drugs entering from mexico, and if they don't stop this poison from flooding into our country, and they can stop it by not accepting it from china, and i'm doing the same thing with china. we are going to tariff the hell out of them. >> sandra: considering the growing problem in this country, you can imagine there is a lot of support for that pitch. >> i think there are three different reasons he has voted for tariffs. number one is china. china is a bad actor. fentanyl and other issues. and as i said before, i don't think there's any great disagreement about that and certainly a lot of support for it. the second is the strategic use

of tariffs on national security concerns like steel supply chains, things like that. that has long been a use of tariffs. national security provision given the iron and steel tariffs in his first administration. the new wrinkle is across the board tariffs on everybody and everything, that is an explicit reason. i think that is the one you will hear the most debate about. and remember, whatever their source, all the evidence is that the american people will pay that tariff. there is no real support, somehow other countries eat the cost of tariffs. so when we do this, we pay something more, we do it for national security, don't like to have the drugs coming in the country cover that all makes sense. people except across the board, that is the issue. >> sandra: here was some of the opposition to this along the way. this was october 17th, janet yellen. >> calls for walling america off with high tariffs on friends and competitors alike or by treating

even our closest allies as transactional partners are deeply misguided. >> sandra: and paul krugman most recently in "the new york times" on the trump tariffs saying this is how we could lose the coming trade war. trump's assistant said tariffs don't hurt consumers even as trying to raise prices, when his planned tariffs hit strongly suggest that neither he nor anyone who listens to him understands how global trade works. not a good thing at a time when trade conflict. kirkman suggesting there's people running this program that are going to carry out these tariffs include in the president-elect that don't understand how they work. your response? >> first of all that is not true. whenever 70 says no one understands but me, you can argue. we had tariffs the first time around. yes, certain items went up in price but broadly speaking the average consumer as measured by the cpi did not see any meaningful increase in broad prices. the cpi was no stronger during the trump years than the

preceding years. we also put together in 2018 when the tariffs were in effect, gdp growth of 3%, a level of growth that we had not seen since the middle of the previous decade, call it 15 years. so the consumers probably looking at this debate and saying what is everybody talking about? i remember prices on balance going down, growth being pretty good, what is the fuss about? i saw this movie once and it ended well, probably will again. >> sandra: such a good point. doug, final thought? >> the tariffs for china, selected goods, not a concern, across-the-board some thing will never tried and have no experience with. >> sandra: i think stay tuned is fair. we will watch. doug, dan, thank you. john? >> john: sandra, "the wall street journal" reported that iran told the united states it won't kill donald trump. the president-elect promising to get aggressive with sanctions on the rogue regime. how hard could he go after iran? we will ask dan hoffman coming up next. plus this.

>> if you like people that live a long time, it's the most important position. we want you to come up with the things and ideas and what you have been talking about for a lg time and i think you are going to do some unbelievable things. >> sandra: rfk jr. tapped to lead hhs with the potential to shake things up in big ways. what will that mean for america's health. we will ask dr. nicole saphier. she's going to weigh in coming up.

pro-trump super mack right for america. we will keep updating you as these come in. >> john: also rand paul secretary. iran telling the biden administration it will not try to kill donald trump. that's according to an exclusive report by "the wall street journal" which shares common ownership with fox news media. gave assurance one month ago after repeated warnings by the justice department that iranian assassins were targeting trump peered at hoffman is a former cia station chief and fox news contributor. i would expect for self-preservation, saying publicly that they didn't want to assassinate the president-elect is a good thing for them. >> yeah, look, i think that letter, as well as the reported meeting that took place this week between elon musk and iran's ambassador to the u.n. in new york probably reflect the fact that iran wants to keep open lines of communications,

but at the same time they are mounting a multi-front war against israel. they are a nuclear threshold state. they have networks around the world to conduct against us. those assassination plots against the former president and president-elect as well as national security advisor john bolton, secretary of state mike pompeo, and iran -- we have to be very concerned about the threat iran poses but iran's economy is in free fall, israel has decapitated, proxy terrorists hezbollah and hamas. iran weaker, might be especially concerned right now with the maximum pressure 2.0 present trouble bring to bear against their country. >> john: in terms of maximum pressure 2.0, how hard you think donald trump is going to punch iran? >> i think the president look at all of the options, read the

intelligence with the team once they are in place and look at all of the policy options they have. assassination plots, the fbi conducted investigations and arrests. so that is an act of war. i am sure one of the options we will have on the table is to launch kinetic strikes against iran's revolutionary guard corps. i would also expect the trump administration to take a hard look at preventing iran from exporting oil. the trump team had exports down to roughly 200,000 barrels a day and they are now over a million, giving iran much-needed foreign currency to finance proxy terrorists. also iran's nuclear program and all that entails. look, the one thing i think iran is looking at if past is prologue, they know that president trump likes to escalate, to de-escalate, we saw fire and fury with north korea and then summits with kim jong un, so iran might want those lines of communication open to negotiate a deal.

president trump is a transformational leader, and he is looking for those sorts of opportunities. >> john: i was there in singapore, went from fire and fury to kim jong un, hey, condos on the beaches of north korea if you get on for with the rest of the world. you've got to think what the ayatollah is thinking about all of this. here's what they said in "the washington post." struggling between two different extremes. on the one hand wanting to settle scores with trump by taking a very aggressive policy toward him but on the other hand he is very scared also. i mean, after israel, basically exposed iran as a toothless tiger, khamenei has to be worried about his survival, particularly as you said the united states undertook strikes against iran. >> israel wiped out iran's air defense with their strike in october, october 26th.

iran hasn't responded yet. they know full well if iran does response they will be able to target whatever sites they wish. really happens when our enemies see that we have the capability, not just the capability, and the wherewithal, but the commitment to respond, and they know that president trump, who approved the order to target qasem soleimani with a lethal strike in january 2020 is ready to do just that. and that is what is going to bring iran to the table. >> john: there is a real sense of the emperor has no clothes in iran, that could be very vulnerable. we will see what happens. it's going to be an interesting few years. dan hoffman, thank you. >> sandra: graphic new details in the murder of nursing student laken riley showing how she fought for her life in those final moments. as the illegal migrant accused of killing her faces trial. criminal defense attorney heather hansen just ahead of what we have learned so far.

plus this. >> oh, ladies and gentlemen. >> john: that's what you get for stepping on my toe. jake paul, meet mike tyson, a dramatic face-off, and that was just the way in. a preview of tonight's big fight a preview of tonight's big fight coming up next indigestion iberogast bloating iberogast thanks to a unique combination of herbs, iberogast helps relieve six digestive symptoms to help you feel better. six digestive symptoms. the power of nature. iberogast.

>> sandra: all right, so here we go, fighter mike tyson getting in the ring for the first professional fight in 19 years. the former heavyweight champion is going to face off against a social media megastar, boxer jake paul. jonathan hunt has a preview. i mean, what an incredible story. people are watching this one, jonathan. >> for sure, sandra. it really should be fun. argued with the most fearsome heavyweight champion of all time, albeit 58 years old, taking on an amateur boxer who is certainly better at posting weird youtube videos that he is at throwing a right hook. >> oh! ladies and gentlemen! >> and if those prefight shenanigans and tysons training sessions or anything to go by,

iron mike is ready for this. he is surely going to come out of his corner fast and furious in the first of the eight grounds, strike early and often, may be given his power just once. >> i'm just ready to fight. i've said everything i've had to say. there's nothing else to say. i'm just looking forward to fighting. >> but jake paul is 31 years younger than tyson, and if the fight goes long, the better his chances will get. >> i want him to be that old savage mike. he says he is going to kill me. is that what you are going to do, mike? because i'm ready. i want that killer. i want the hardest match possible friday night and i want there to be no excuses for everyone at home when i knock him out. >> whatever the result, both men will walk away whole lot richer. tyson thought to be getting around $20 million while jake paul has hinted he might make as much as $40 million. so who wins?

well, you know, i have been a victim of iron mike's notorious in your nibbling skills as you see right there but even sandra as a part-time boxer myself, yoo take a punch from that guy. i don't think jake paul appreciates what's coming. my money's on tyson, provided, sandra, he can finish it in three rounds. >> sandra: oh, my gosh. i don't know, i'm not making predictions yet. jonathan, thank you. john, are you? >> john: you know, i think that jake paul has got the edge because he is younger and he might be faster, but when you take a look close up at that slap, which was precipitated by the fact that jake paul i think accidentally or maybe on purpose stepped on mike tyson's toe, the way that tysons forearms still bulged out even at his age, i mean, that's going to pack a lot of conne kinetic energy peered. >> sandra: the eyes bulged out, the eye of the tiger, it will be must-see tv, for sure.

>> john: border states besieged by previous migrant influxes now wondering if they will see another surge before the trump and administration begins. take a look at how texas is preparing for that. and talk to a sheriff who is working on the front lines of the border crisis coming up.
