republican senator elect dave mccormick's campaign says "senator elect mccormick is very pleased with this ruling and looks forward to taking the oath of office in a few short weeks. according to senator casey's campaign, "senator casey will continue to fight back against efforts to disenfranchise voters to ensure pennsylvanians voices are heard and that eligible voters can participate in our democracy." meanwhile, according to the "philadelphia inquirer," the democratic election official who promised to count illegal votes now says her comment is being misinterpreted. here it was. people violate laws anytime they want, so for me, if i violate this law, it's because i want a court to pay attention to it. and there is nothing more important than counting votes. >> bucks county and others now promise to adhere to state law. here is where we stand right now. take a look. senator elect mccormick leads kc by roughly 17,000 votes and that's a margin that republicans

say is insurmountable. >> average recounts generally tend to flip about 300, 400, 500 votes, so we are not going to see this overturned. bob casey should certainly save the taxpayers the money from going through this process. >> the recount ends one week from today so we'll see how long it stretches out, john. >> john: did not object when there was a recount in his senate primary but the margin there was only 900 something votes, not 17,000, big difference. nate foy for us, thank you. >> sandra: let's bring in kerri urbahn, bring back kerri urbahn, fox news legal analyst. thank you for jumping on this. where do you see all of this going next in pennsylvania? >> i still think we are not talking enough about two key people who are at the center of this but very much behind the scenes. one of those people is marc elias. he is the attorney driving all of this peered i read a comment on x posted by

a friend, named matt whitlock, and he said he thinks in part elias is driving this because he was banking on all of the money he was going to make if it was a close call around the country the twins kamala and trump, and now this is all he's got. the reason i point out marc elias is because he famously or infamously was hillary clinton's general counsel during the 2016 presidential campaign and if you remember what they cooked up together in order to influence or usurp an election, they fed false information to the fbi, our government, about donald trump and a false russia connection so they would investigate so that elias and hillary clinton and their team in turn could feed that false information to the press, why, so they could swing the election and hurry clinton's favor. he is character number one. character number two is secretary of state al schmidt. if you recall he was on the philadelphia board of elections during 2020, very upset with donald trump for donald trump claiming there was fraud during

the election in philadelphia, he was so upset he testified before the january 6th committee. sandra, he was asked a couple days ago by a journalist and a local philadelphia station how he grades himself handling all of the he says it's been very smooth. he think it's great, this is all part of the process, this is as all of us across america were watching the tape of election officials openly defying the law, it's the same guy who was a crusader in 2020 and now is saying in 2024 nothing to see here, everything is good, so you have to wonder or this begs the question why do people have distrust in our system? it's because we have people who are lying to their faces about what is going on and everybody knows it and they are just done with it. >> sandra: the democrat governor shapiro, it is irresponsible and does not damage -- does damage to faith in our electoral process, law matters in pennsylvania, critical for counties and parties to respect it. karl rove earlier on what he is

saying is a move on the part of democrats. >> this is a last-ditch effort by five democratic jurisdictions to count ballots that are in violation of explicit state requirements, state laws that say you have to have a date on the ballot and so forth. this was a desperate last-minute attempt to say let me count the illegal ballots, and of course the court again said no. >> sandra: quick final thought to that? >> i don't think this recount will change anything but governor shapiro took a political hit the way he handled this, which i don't think has been great. >> sandra: meanwhile want to ask you about chuck schumer this morning pledging to confirm as many biden judges as possible. >> members should be prepared for another late night on wednesday to vote on the nominations i filed last night. voting on the president's judicial nominees is a core function of the senate. it's one of our basic responsibilities and we are going to carry out that responsibility as long as this

majority continues. >> sandra: here's what incoming senate majority leader john thune had to say, if schumer thought senate republicans would just roll over and allow him to quickly appoint biden judges in the final weeks of the majority, he thought wrong. >> that's right. we see this on most every political cycle. ramming through at the very end, they tend to push people less than qualified or kind of crazy. they're going to be all kinds of fights over this that have to play out yet again. >> sandra: incoming president calling on republicans to show up, this just in from the incoming president donald trump, the democrats are trying to stack the courts with radical left judges on their way out the door. republican senators need to show up and hold the line, no more judges confirmed before inauguration day. >> yeah, it's important to his point they show up and do their job. part of the problem is absent senators, it's a lot easier for people to push people through, so that is a very basic point of common sense that should be happening right now and i

believe there are certain members of the senate were pushing just for that. >> sandra: another busy day for you, kerri, thank you peered john? >> john: always busy these days. we like that, though. expect to hear from the pentagon any day after ukraine with u.s.-made missiles for the first time in a protracted war. >> sandra: lawmakers asking where the tens of thousands of migrant children who disappeared on biden's watch? nicole parker will join us on that coming up. >> we are talking about a population of unaccompanied alien children that if they all were in the same school district, it would be the fifth largest school district in the united states. pairexclusively a! pair eyewear allows you to customize your look according to your vibe. pick a base frame, a top frame, and click! use your vision insurance for exams, glasses and contacts all at america's best.

they have no chance. they are on a company migrants or children. they are coming across the border. they are 17 years of age or younger. they do not have any legal immigration status in the united states, and they are without a parent or legal guardian. so what happens is they come across the border, they encounter cbp, than they are transferred over to i.c.e. custody and then i.c.e. transfers them over to hhs or the office of refugee resettlement's. believe it or not, it is through hhs where that oh are our program is tasked with finding a sponsor. where are all of these miners going to go? the problem with the administration's we know they have done improper venting across the board but when it comes to putting a child into the custody into a "home," you need to know where they are going, who they are being taken into the custody of, and the problem is there is no betting. they need to have full criminal background checks, fingerprint need to be done, some of these sponsors have applied for multiple children. that is a huge sign of human

trafficking, labor and sex trafficking, and that is dangerous. >> john: a big report out by hhs in august that raised suspicions as to where these children are going. what one sponsor apparently sponsored 2500 kids. what does that tell you? >> that is alarming, john. that is absolutely terrifying because as i just mentioned, who in their right mind would be applying for multiple children? that again looks to me like a human trafficking ring at operation, and i am so grateful that tom homan is going to be coming in as the border czar and is going to clean house. he has made a commitment to find these children. they have no chance. they are being put into abusive situations many times. some of these sponsors are actually traffickers, sex trafficking, labor trafficking, they are being exploited. the type of work they are having to do and a lot of children come from countries like guatemala, honduras, x ago, el salvador. they are coming here for a better life, and some of them have been brought in by

smugglers. they are not being brought in for free, that to pay smugglers back and pay their way back and that is what they are being forced to do. it is so detrimental and it is not fair and we need to protect these children. >> john: yeah, a lot of parents in the northern triangle countries are paying thousands of dollars to these smugglers to take their children north. you mentioned tom homan is going to try to find all of these children, he mentioned that when he was with us yesterday. he has his work cut out for him. here's what that august dhs report showed, a total of 448,000 children transferred to hhs between 2019 and 2023. 32,000 of them failed to appear for their court dates. 291,000 weren't even given a notice to appear for a court date, so that makes a total of 323,000 total whose status is unknown. and i.c.e.'s big conclusion from this without an ability to monitor the location and status of unaccompanied children, i.c.e. has no assurance that you

sees are safe from trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor. and at the moment it seems like nobody's doing doing anything about it. >> that is terrifying, to think we are putting them in the custody of a sponsor. you have to be able to do wellness checks, check on them, see how they are doing, otherwise they could be very dangerous situations they have no way out. it's extremely scary, terrifying for the young minors, and again, thank goodness that present trump won. he is going to get a handle on the border and shut it down, but there is a crisis on our hands and thank goodness we have someone with strong leadership who will help save lives. >> john: i want to finish with a quote from "the new york times" who wrote about this extensively in 2023, as migrant children were put to work, the u.s. ignored warnings, over 250,000 migrant children have come into the united states alone. thousands of children have ended up in punishing jobs across the country, working in slaughterhouses, replacing groups, operating machinery and

>> it is a signal they want to escalate the conflict and it is impossible to use these high-tech missiles without the americans. putin has said this many times. >> the attack was just north of kursk, where 11,000 north korean troops are deployed to assist the 50,000 russian soldiers preparing to retake russian territory, seized by ukraine in august. u.s. officials tell me it was putin's decision to expand the war and invite north korean troops into fight ukraine that led to president biden's reversal. president zelenskyy referenced this while addressing the european parliament today. >> putin has brought 11,000 north korean troops to ukraine's borders. this may grow to 100,000. >> following the atacms strike, russian president vladimir putin signed a nuclear doctrine lowering the kremlin's threshold to use nuclear weapons, tactical

nukes, in response to a conventional attack that threatens russia or belarus' sovereignty. he had warned he would do so in september. reports of a mysterious sabotage of an undersea fiber-optic cable that connect finland and germany come shortly after biden authorized ukraine to use these weapons to target russian territory. a senior european official told me "we don't know yet what caused it but the company operating the cable says it appears to have been external impact. such cables are well protected and don't break easily." european investigators inspect russia as the culprit appeared i am told finland is not experiencing any major problems with its internet services because it has multiple connections, paired with with redundancies. >> john: jim griffin at the pen again, thank you p. >> sandra: general fox keane, retired four-star general, joins us now with more on this peered general, welcome to you,

thank you for being here. trump allies are warning biden is risking world war iii by authorizing these long-range missiles for ukraine, read directly from ric grenell's tweets on what they see as escalation. no one anticipated that joe biden would escalate the war in ukraine during the transition period. this is as if he is launching a whole new war. everything has changed now. all previous calculations are no and void, and all for politics. does beg the question, as we watch this play out, why now? >> well, first of all, let's put the facts on the table. the escalation is being done by russia. north korea had decided, along with china and iran, not only to provide material assistance, or in the case of china economic assistance, as well. they have decided to join in a war. so now we have a country with its military forces joining russia to overthrow ukraine.

that indeed is the escalation. and some people are just missing the reality of what is taking place here. the biden administration giving them -- giving ukraine atacms to use is long overdue. it should have been done last year. and used throughout russia, that is the only thing that makes any sense, and it certainly isn't an escalation by comparison to the fact that ukraine is now fighting two countries. pretty similar to what nazi germany did when it was marauding over europe and the italians joined in to help them doing it. that is the real thing that is taking place -- >> sandra: so what is it? how do you answer the question why now? why did he do this before? >> why didn't who do it? >> sandra: biden. >> he should have peered the reason biden has only provided half of the equipment they neede that they need it is because they have bought into putin's information campaign. he's inside their head.

and he waves nuclear weapons in the face. and he has been doing it for two years. and this administration buys it, and they are paralyzed by the fear of escalation by the use of that nuclear weapon. europeans blew this off last summer. they came to grips with the reality that this is only putin's information -- in other words, it's a bluff. the evidence of what the europeans did, they deployed long-range missiles before we did. they forced tanks on us, the f-16s on us. they don't buy this false information that is being put on, but this administration continues to accept it. >> sandra: well, there is reaction to putin lowering the threshold for using his nuclear arsenal after this biden arms decision for ukraine, and this is one of them. this is senator blumenthal on putin's nuclear threat, listen here. >> using nuclear weapons would be abhorrent. not even putin has the bad

judgment to cross that line, he will recognize the use of nuclear weapons not only crosses a line, it jumps into a chasm of total chaos and destruction. there is a way to end this war at the bargaining table. >> sandra: so not even putin has the bad judgment to cross that line, said senator blumenthal, and he said this just a moment ago, but he ended with, there is a way to end this war at the bargaining table, which rings me back to your point. how do you do it? where does this go next? >> first of all, i agree with the conclusion that putin doesn't make any sense to do this. his domestic population would be terrified by the result of something like that. his troops aren't trained to deal with radiation. they don't have the equipment to do it, the generals certainly wouldn't advise it and if you drop nuclear weapons in ukraine, that exposes year up, united states and nato countries would have to do something abou.

putin is not stupid. the history of putin, you push him, he steps back. but he is a master at incurring fear psychologically. next step is, i think when we begin, the united states, to look at where russia and ukraine is, and what's possible in terms of negotiation, the administration is going to find that the putin they are dealing with today is not four years ago. he is a wartime commander, on a war footing with his economy. he's absolutely determined, as we speak today, to still take over ukraine. and he is willing to stick with that premise because he believes eventually the united states and europe will collapse. that is, in terms of their political will. that is where he is. to get him to the negotiating table and some substantive way, i suspect when they look at the balance, they will want to increase ukrainians' leverage by

advancing them. this use of atacms is a step in that direction. why do you think zelenskyy is sitting in russia, occupying a small portion of russia? to gain leverage. eventually, if they go to negotiations. that is what this is about, and i suspect the administration are going to have to make some choices. do we actually increase support for ukraine to gain that leverage, or do we go in there with negotiation and they play weaker hand than what they should? >> john: the white house put out a response earlier to russia's latest moves saying thy weren't surprised by the announcement that it would update its nuclear doctrine. we have not seen any reason to adjust our own nuclear posture or doctrine in response to russia's treatments today, the white house just a couple hours ago -- >> that's a decent statement. >> sandra: general, good to see you. >> great being in the studio. >> sandra: always a pleasure. thank you so much. now this. ♪ ♪ >> whoever has my children, that

board will consider, in addition in south carolina 8% of parolees are actually released, and it's less likely to happen here because it's the first time before the board. she has a notorious case it makes it less likely, and the family members and prosecutors are still adamant she belongs behind bars so all of those things together make it very unlikely. >> john: the former prosecutor involved in her case said to a local newspaper the belief was she would spend her time thinking about michael and alex, her two children. it is clear she hasn't been thinking about michael and alex. the judicial system is set up to, if somebody is open to it, remorse, reform, thinking about what you did, coming to terms with it, never doing it again, becoming a changed person. during your incarceration. that does not seem to have happened here. >> you mention she has had sacks with some of the guards, caughte

certainly could never begin to understand. >> it's interesting because back in the day so many people wondered why she didn't get the death penalty in this case, and it's always interesting to look at these cases and think now, 30 years later, she is actually up for parole. we sort of thing these people are locked away and we throw away the key, some of the cases we talked about just last week and it does happen that these people do come up for parole. not only did she allegedly and convicted lee kill her children because of an affair she was having, she also led police on a wild goose chase, impacted race relations when she accused a black man of carjacking the car, so much of her story was unbelievable and quickly disproven. it really was a crime against not only those two beautiful children and her husband, but then it turned into a crime that impacted the entire state and the nation. we are all very intrigued by the parole coming up tomorrow, but i truly believe that the right thing will happen and she will

go back to the jail cell where she has been living. >> john: here's what prosecutor tommy pope set about that. guys on social media who want her when she gets out of prison, she is not focused on remorse for the lives she took. i think she needs to continue to serve her sentence and serve it out forward. he wants her to stay there until the day she dies. >> well, and it's interesting because "the new york post" reported today even those people she is talking to on social media won't write letters in her defense. over 400 letters have been cemented to the parole board in her case. only six of them are in defense of her. it's pretty clear that the people that she knows even peripherally, her ex-husband, the father of those children, everyone believes that she belongs exactly where she is, including tommy pope, the prosecutor in the case you just quoted. >> john: some people have a macabre fascination with people who are incarcerated on social media. i don't think they want to spend the night with them.
