ceo of tik tok is seeking elon musk's counsel on the incoming trump administration executives at tik tok's company, chinese company bytedance, view musk potentially as help in incoming as tik tok faces a possible ban over national security concerns. welcome to fox news live, i'm molly line. griff: it's great to be with you, i'm griff jenkins. president-elect trump announcing a flurry of key cabinet appointments to kick off the weekend including much anticipated treasury secretary nominee. bryan llenas is live for us kicking things off. >> good afternoon, president-elect trump announcing nine new administration picks last night, including his nominee for treasury secretary, scott best bessent.
9:02 am
if confirmed by the senate, bessent would hold the most important economic, really, position in trump's new administration. tasked with ushering in trump's new tax policies through congress, like no tax on tips, and overtime and managing how to implement tariffs on foreign goods without worsening inflation. bessent is a supporter of phasing in tariffs. listen. >> free trade has become unfair trade and more and more working class, whether it's americans, europeans, even south americans are rebelling against free trade. china is the most imbalanced country in the history of the world and they are exporting their industrial policy, their economics to us and you know, donald trump has a solution and it's reciprocal tariff. >> trump also tapping former
9:03 am
republican oregon congresswoman as his secretary of labor. and chavez who narrowly lost her house race, pro union republican. endorsed by the team sean o'brien who reportedly privately lobbied for her to get the role and pam bondi as attorney general after gaetz withdraw his name for consideration after allegations of sexual misconduct. bondi is seen as a loyalist who defended trump during his first impeachment trial. and he picked his u.s. surgeon general, f.d.a. commissioner and filled out national security staff and he has just four positions left to fill in his cabinet and on that note, the wall street journal is now reporting that president-elect trump is expected to select brook rollins as his department of agriculture head.
9:04 am
now, brook rollins is someone who would likely play a role if chosen in terms of how to really enact these new sweeping tariffs that trump has proposed and how that would affect american farmers. one last note, griff, i will say that the n.a.t.o. secretary-general, mark rudy, also meeting with president-elect trump here in florida yesterday amid obviously all of those concerns about the war in ukraine. griff: it's filling up quickly and if there are more picks, we'll come back to you bryan live from west palm beach. thank you. >> ice agents in boston have had a busy few days and really months, an arrest of an ms-13 gang member and someon these ar and sate leaders make headlines for saying they're not going to cooperate with deportation
9:05 am
efforts in the incoming trump administration. they've announced a slew of arrests in the last week alone. ice boston announcing two illegal migrants are back in federal custody. the man on the left from guatemala. and he had been arrested by local officers by rape of a child by force and released after local authorities ignored an ice detainer request. the man on the right from brazil, he was convicted of rape in his home country and crossed illegally into the u.s. hiding out as a fugitive and they've arrested those two m3 gang member. on the right dominican national charged with second degree child molestation in the states and this man was arrested by ice. the agency blurred his face because he's been accused, but not yet convicted of drug trafficking back in brazil.
9:06 am
he was taken into custody in a massachusetts city still set to reaffirm its sanctuary status. despite all of these arrests, the governor of massachusetts has joined the list of other sanctuary city leaders planning to resist president-elect donald trump's deportation plans. >> if the trump administration requested would the massachusetts state police assist in mass deportations? >> absolutely not. >> so trump's incoming border czar, tom homan threatened to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities that don't cooperate. molly. >> significant back and forth going back and forth on that. cb cotton, thank you. >> molly, for more on this and president-elect trump's plans for mass deportations, we're joined by democratic congresswoman from massachusetts, member of the congressional hispanic caucus,
9:07 am
and serves as the co-chair of the house democratic policy anyd congresswoman thanks for being with us. obviously, you also aware of all of these arrests of illegal migrants or migrants here illegally that committed crimes and ice going out to get them in a sanctuary city where in many cases local authorities have not participated. we can show you a running list going all the way back to the summer whether it's from nantucket to in lowell, massachusetts, part of your districts and elsewhere there's more and more out there ans thet to go out and get these migrants who are here illegally that pose the greatest threat. do you stand behind governor heely's calls to stand in ice's way? >> well, thanks for having me, griff and molly. you know, i'll start by saying, you know, my grandparents came to the united states as immigrants in search of a better life. they worked hard to provide for my parents and my parents did the same for my three sisters
9:08 am
and me, so i completely understand how unfair, and francly, how infuriating it can be to see stories about undocumented migrants who commit these types of crimes, especially and run the risk of walking away without consequence. that's why you're not going to hear me sit here and try to defend those bad actors. we have-- >> well, congresswoman, i don't want you to defend them. i'm wondering, do you side with governor healy and boston's mayor that says they're going to stand fully in ice's way when they come into office? >> well, i don't think you're going to hear a single democratic mayor or democratic governor, boston mayor and governor healy included, saying they're going to defend, you know, migrants who have been convicted of violent crimes and prevent their, you know, their accountability under the law and their deportation. we have a criminal justice system in this country for a
9:09 am
reason. if you break the law you should be held accountable whether you're a u.s. citizen, a green card holder or a migrant awaiting processing. i think we all should be able to agree on that. i also think that we should agree if you're an undocumented migrant and found to have committed a horrible crime in your home country, as is the case with the individual arrested in my district, then you know, you should be deported. you should not be allowed to enter our country which is why we need to surge resources to our border and to the officials so they can adjudicate those claims in real-time. you know, we should be working in a bipartisan way to pass legislation, to hire additional border security agents, to prevent people like that from entering our country illegally and to hire more immigration judges necessary to adjudicate lawful claims for entry into the united states.
9:10 am
>> congressman, i live in massachusetts, in the district and you have sanctuary cities in your district as well one of the things about the communities is very often law enforcement does not cooperate with ice or ice detainers and some of these very case that is we just showed there were detainers on the suspects and they were allowed to get out and re-enter the community and ice had to go and hunt them down. my question is a bold public messaging going on right now with the mayor of boston, with the governor of massachusetts, does this push back against the trump administration's efforts to change things in the coming months? does it potentially invite people to come here to massachusetts to look at those sanctuary policies, to potentially criminals to seek to take advantage of them? do you have a concern about that? >> no, look, i've-- i have the privilege of representing my hometown of lowell, massachusetts and you
9:11 am
know, we work hand in glove to make sure that we keep our communities safe. like i said earlier, i haven't talked to a single democratic mayor or governor who thinks that violent criminals should be shielded from prosecution or deportation. that would be ridiculous. but what i have heard from local leaders, in my community, anyway, is a concern for hardworking people who maybe came to the country years or decades ago, some of whom, maybe they overstayed their visa or entered without working papers, i think in a lot of those cases these are mothers and fathers and aunts and uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers to u.s. citizens who wake up every day, they go to work and you know, a couple of jobs in some cases and they contribute to our economy, and they don't break any laws. and i think people in my district are worried about a mass deportation plan that says those folks, their family members, are the same as a violent gang member who makes a living of breaking the law. and that's just not the case.
9:12 am
so, i think a majority of americans would agree that we don't want a grandma's door being kicked in by the u.s. military in the middle of the night and dragged out of her home and put on a plane to a country she hasn't seen in decades. so, i think we should be able to come to the table as republicans and democrats, seeking a better path forward at that doesn't result in the kind of horrific, you know, in that kind of horrific scenario playing out. so i'm-- the american people-- >> one of the things that you've brought up here -- one of the things you've talked about here is about immigrants living in our communities and one. big challenges in massachusetts the governor declared a state of emergency is overcrowding of the shelter system and forced the legislature to change the laws to create confines, and cost taxpayers here a billion dollars and that-- are you concerned this as these sanctuary states and cities, that the policies they have in
9:13 am
place regarding housing and how publicly they're pushing back against the president's efforts that will invite more people to come here just as the state is beginning to get their handle on the overcrowded shelter system problem? >> yeah, i mean, a lot of americans, including many that i represent in massachusetts, they look at the chaos that's unfolded at the southern border and they just want congress to do something about it because what's happening right now, you're right, it isn't fair to taxpayers and i couldn't agree more. that's why i was ready to vote for the bipartisan immigration agreement that was crafted by a conservative republican from oklahoma and a progressive democratic senator from connecticut to strengthen our border and update our broken immigration laws. look, i was elected to congress six years ago, the first time i'd ever run for office and i went to washington ready to take on the big issues. the border was an issue back then, just as it is today, but
9:14 am
there wasn't a serious bipartisan effort to address it until last year, so, if donald trump wants to work on this issue in a serious way by bringing democrats and republicans together, i'm a you will all for it because the overwhelming majority of americans,i think, in both parties agree that our immigration system is broke annen border security is broken and we have to fix it. griff: lastly, congresswoman, thank you for coming on with us and taking time. i want to show our viewers after the election, fox news' voter analysis on inroads made with hispani hispanic voters in particular was plus 15 in massachusetts. you can look at some of the other states that have the sanctuary cities, let's see, it's plus 12 in new york, plus 10 in colorado, plus 7 in illinois, that's not the chart, but you get the point. it's plus 15 in massachusetts.
9:15 am
did the democrat party get it wrong when trump was out there and rally after rally and talking about mass deportation and democrats were saying, no, no, no. >> we could draw conclusions, maybe different ones why there was a shift in, you know, even folks in my district who voted for trump this time. look, people don't think it's fair whe there are a lot of, you know, latinos in my district who have been waiting in line, there are a lot of just immigrants, folks in general that don't have permanent status here that are waiting in line, which is why we need to correct our outdated immigration system. we also need to do more to help working families who are struggling with the high price of groceries and housing and child care. there's no question and look, i'll be the first to admit sometimes democrats are guilty of talking about sort of the underlying metrics that signify
9:16 am
our growing economy are good, but people don't always feel that when they're in the grocery store looking at an increase at the checkout so we have to do a better job as democrats and republicans coming together and fixing those problems that are affecting working families. griff: congresswoman we appreciate your time coming on and look forward to coming back as the new administration comes in. we can talk more about it down the road. have a great weekend and happy thanksgiving. >> thank you. griff: well, with less than two months left in president biden's term, there are calls for his administration to trump-proof his legacy as biden hosted a dinner last night to thank his long time supporters. david spunt is live at the white house with more. hey, david. >> hi, griff, the biden administration is wrapping up in the final weeks, president biden is here at the white house this weekend, a quiet weekend at this point now. as you mentioned, a dinner on the south lawn last night with several hundred people to honor the president and the first lady, dr. biden, as a way to
9:17 am
say goodbye and thank you for the past four years. watch. >> we're leaving america a better place today than when we came into office four years ago. this country is living through the worst pandemic we've seen in over 100 years. our economy was in a tailspin. we just witnessed something we thought we would never ever see in america. >> there's still work to be done and president biden wants to get many of mhis appointed judgments confirmed lifetime appointments, five more judges are one step closer to crossing the finish line and made it out of committee and head to the senate floor after thanksgiving. the president has roughly 220 judges confirmed though he's nominated more than 260, getting another 40 confirmed in the next two months, less than two months is unlookly. if democrats need a tie break, vice-president kamala harris is in the back pocket. she is in hawaii own vacation,
9:18 am
but fox news is told that she'll be in washington in december if she's needed to get these biden appointed judges across the finish line. it's important to point out, griff, these are lifetime appointments. so these judges in many cases will be sitting on the bench long after biden leaves the white house, long after trump leaves the white house, long after the person after donald trump who is president lives the white house. griff: lifetime tenure, great point. david spunt live for us on the north lawn. molly. >> "the washington post" reports that president-elect trump plans to fire the entire team that worked under special counsel jack smith at the justice department. those doj employees worked on two federal prosecutions against the incoming president. the report adds, that trump is planning to assemble teams within the department to investigate alleged fraud in the 2020 election. let's work on unpacking some of
9:19 am
this as we move forward. more on president-elect trump's plans for the justice department in particular. we are joined by former federal prosecutor, andrew, thank you for giving us time on this saturday afternoon, andrew, greatly appreciate it. kicking things off with the first start. the idea that entire team might be fired. it's not unusual for an incoming president, incoming administration to bring in new people, new teams, particularly when legal concerns are made, ag's across the nation. your thoughts on this particular headline? >> well, when you look at the people who worked under jack smith, you have to think about the credibility of the actions this they brought. first, we have an election that just strongly communicated that the american public vehemently disagreed with what jack smith had done over the last four years and then look at the facts that these attorneys working under jack smith were pushing a novel legal issue that failed at almost every turn to include as it went up
9:20 am
to the supreme court. so, if those are the attorneys that were working there, does donald trump really want those attorneys to continue in the doj? and so i think it's absolutely appropriate to be thinking about and talking about the idea that those folks may be well suited to leave the doj. we're not talking criminal prosecutions of those folks, but i think the idea of seeing them out the door is probably wise. >> and now shifting gears just a little bit to the ag pick, pam bondi, a trump loyalist and has a lot of confidence in. here is the former assistant u.s. attorney out of the southern district of new york talking about bondi's pick. >> there's nothing wrong or unusual with an attorney general who shares the same politics and ideology as the president, that's the way these things work, but i think the problem with pam bondi, she was
9:21 am
a vocal 2020 election denier and i think that raises questions about her independence and credibility and a sticking point when she goes in front of the senate. >> so, he's hitting on something that's also covered in that washington post article about president trump looking back at the 2020 election and seeking answers. your thought on her-- on the president picking bondi and what also has-- and focus on looking back at that 2020 election? >> well, pam bondi gives president trump everything he was hoping to get from matt gaetz plus much more. her credibility as a very effective ag in the state of florida, which has particularly maga type politics, and she's proven herself effective. matt gaetz had not run a similar office so i think that she really is a stronger pick to be able to perpetuate the policies and the ideas that donald trump has for the doj. as for the criticism of her, i mean, if you want to go back
9:22 am
and continue to-- >> andrew, i'm sorry we're running out of time and i have to wrap this quicker than i expected. thank you so much for coming on and appreciate you sharing your insights with us. >> of course. griff: molly, the nfl issued a security alert for teams after burglaries involving kansas city chief stars patrick mahomes and travis kelce next. —uh. —here i'll take that.

9:27 am
issuing security alerts? >> that's exactly what's happening and we don't know how travis kelce's watch got to rhode island, but they're looking into a string of thefts. kelce's home was burglarized the same day that they took on the saints at arrowhead stadium. one day before that chief's quarterback patrick mahomes' home was burglarized. >> you don't want that to happen to anybody, but obviously yourself. >> it's not just the nfl, milwaukee bucks star portis offered a reward this video shows two people outside of his home before he was burglarized. the nfl, nba, nhl are warning about the threat of burglary groups. per an nfl memo obtained by the groups, they're targeted homes

>> lebanese health ministry says israel strikes today have killed 16 people in central beirut and others north of the city. and at least four were children the ministry claims. it comes as israel ramps up air strikes against the iran-backed hezbollah terror group. molly: just days ago ukraine fired u.s. and u.k.-supplied missiles into russia and the kremlin responded by firing a ballistic missile at ukraine. stephanie bennett is tracking this escalating conflict. >> hey, molly, yeah, putin said that russia will increase production on these new missiles which are so-called unstoppable hypersonic ballistic missiles which president zelenskyy said is a clear and severe escalation in this war.
9:34 am
now, earlier this week, president putin said the ukraine war was escalating toward a global conflict after the united states and britain allowed those missiles you just saw ukraine to hit russia with long range missiles, something zelenskyy had been asking permission for for weeks. in response, putin had warned the west that moscow would strike back. and it has by firing this new hypersonic medium ranged ballistic missile. and putin claims no one in the world has such weapons and has warned more could follow. russia's head of strategic forces says they could be fitted with either nuclear or conventional warheads and reach targets across european with no means of intercepting it. >> we consider ourselves in the right to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries who allow the use of their weapons against our facilities. in case of escalation of aggressive action, we will respond decisively in a
9:35 am
tit-for-tat manner. it is the u.s. that destroyed the system of international security and by continuing to clutch to their hegemony are pushing the whole world into a global conflict. >> for now, n.a.t.o. and ukraine are expected to hold emergency talks this tuesday. molly. molly: stephanie bennett from london. thank you. griff: well, for more on the escalation between russia and ukraine, we're joined on set here by the former sent centcom spokesperson, you're probably glad you don't have your old job, these are tough times. let me ask you to weigh in on what seems to be clear escalation, whatever you call it. >> it's a clear escalation, i think it was not necessary. this didn't really need to happen. i think providing the ones to ukraine and to fire them into russia is not necessary. they've got a few dozen, it's
9:36 am
really not enough to strengthen their foothold in kursk or on the battle fior field. transition periods are not a time to make significant changes in these kind of geopolitical issues and i think it's a little bit confusing what's happening here and i think it makes all of this a little bit less stable than it was. griff: joe, joe rogan and others have pointed out, joe rogan was talking yesterday saying that this leads to possibly world war iii, what reaction is that. >> yeah, the great foreign policy joe rogan. i think he's right in this sense. i call this a limited global limited to one specific part of the earth, limited to one region. you've got global coalitions on either side. the russian side, iran, china supporting russia, you've got
9:37 am
north korea and now 11,000 north korean troops in the fight. on the other side, you've got a global coalition around ukraine, united states, european countries, so you've got a limited global war. now, you've introduced these, so you're climbing the escalation ladder and introducing the new weapon that russia is firing. climb the escalation ladder. i'd be afraid of climbing that ladder and tripping into world war iii. griff: a nuclear one, and these are hypersonic missiles, nuclear capable. and we'll fire it first time without the nuke and maybe he's threatened the nuke before. do you see that as an escalation in itself. >> just the messaging is escalation. say that putin makes good on his threat to fire into the u.s. base in poland without a nuclear warhead, and kills american troops, well, we're in
9:38 am
a different place now, we're in a different-- now you're really on glide path toward world war iii. griff: a dangerous place. >> a dangerous place, yeah. griff: let's talk about incoming president-elect trump said multiple times, our david spunt at the white house is reporting that trump repeatedly said he can solve this in one day, the war in ukraine. what do you make of that? >> well, i think that he's always been of the mind that there's a peace deal to beered brokered here and he can bring this down and get both sides to agree to come sort of a compromise. that the trump foreign policy has always been about the idea that we're no longer going to fund these kinds of wars, we're no longer going to offset or pay out wars for our-- or partners and allies, and so, i think, you know, reducing the funding, or developing some kind of a frozen conflict where
9:39 am
russia keeps some of the territory it's claimed. griff: which zelenskyy says he won't do. >> which zelenskyy says he won't do, but perhaps a carrot and stick with zelenskyy where the united states proffers them to join n.a.t.o. griff: "the washington post" said that if trump abandons ukraine, it will be akin to something like afghanistan under biden. what do you make of it. >> those situations are not parallel. that doesn't fully make sense to me. we had american troops in afghanistan that we withdrew. we had partners that risked their lives to support american troops for 20 years. we don't have american troops in ukraine. we've been funding this war. we've been funding ukraine now for 33 months. and you know, with limited gain. obviously there was a stunning
9:40 am
success in the beginning, with ukraine holding the line and then, you know, the kind of momentum never shifted back to ukraine after the russian counter offensive. griff: do you see their point, and it's not just "the washington post," that have said if trump were to fully abandon ukraine and quickly, it would make america weaker and em bolden dictators like putin. >> it depends how a peace deal is brokered. what that would look like, what's the message on both sides and i wouldn't want to speculate too much on that, but i'd imagine if there's a peace deal brokered whereby both sides come away with a messaging win, some sort of messaging success, that you know, you could really have a kind of messaging win for the united states across the world as well. at a certain point, you're kind of throwing money at this war
9:41 am
without much gain. so-- >> in the last 10 seconds i've got, do you have a messaging advice for the incoming trump administration how they handle this? >> what i would say is that, you've got to-- there has to be a gain. there has to be a win for zelenskyy, some sort of success that zelenskyy can point to internally to ukraine and to the rest of europe. griff: joe, retired lieutt. colonel, we'll have you back as this comes into play. >> anytime. griff: molly. molly: the pope's christmas tree was lifted by a crane and placed in the center of st. peter's square this week. the 70-year-old tree comes from a village in northern italy. 95 feet tall and weighs five and a half tons and the town is providing them with 39 regular sized christmas trees, griff. griff: san francisco police say a gang of kids stole $84,000
