6:14 am
a-new report from the house energy and commerce committee finds hhs spent $911 million on covid public information campaign. and that campaign was supposed to increase vaccine competence.
6:15 am
but the committee claims it did the opposite. report alleges some of the information was wrong or even unproven and it says the campaign overpromised what vaccines could do. committee says this caused people to lose trust in the public health system and something we're still paying for today. bill. >> governor abbott and tom homan are already working on something to get the border secured. not waiting until january 20th. we have an ally. great for texas and the entire country. >> bill: this is 2024 now, okay? this is eight years ago in 2016. it is a remarkable shift. two areas of interest where you see a flip of 75 to 76 points. just talking to bill melugin, maverick county in texas. hillary clinton won this county by 55.8%.
6:16 am
astounding. runaway in 2016. this is what trump did in the same county this year. won it by 18 1/2. you do not find swings like this very often in american political history much less over a period of eight years. let's go back to 2016. starr county down here southeastern section of state of texas. remember they've offered land, several hundred acres for a staging air area for deportations if and when they happen. starr county won it by 60.1 points. you go to 2024. same county, deep red right now. trump flipped it winning by 16%. hard to find that. bring in lieutenant governor dan patrick with me now. tell us what will change when you don't have the federal government suing you for cutting through razor wire, suing you for putting buoys in the rio grande river?
6:17 am
what changes and how fast? >> a lot is going to change, bill, very fast. by the way, those red counties you've just shown, we also have the first republican state senator in the history of the state out of there elected from a democrat district. it is unbelievable what happened. we've been on the watch even though biden didn't have our back and made our jobs difficult to secure the border to the best of our ability. keep this in mind. the border with texas is longer than the distance from atlanta to maine. ours is zigzag, not a straight line like the east coast. that's how much territory we have to cover, 1235 miles. national guard and state troopers and buoys in the water. i was at the park when they threatened to cut the wire that day. they didn't show up but we were ready to respond. our taxpayers, we spent over $8 billion. that's more than many states' budgets in the last four years
6:18 am
that the governor asked for it and we put to work. now between president trump at the top, kristi noem, tom homan, myself and governor abbott we will close this son of a gun down. >> bill: i believe homan and your governor talked last night. starting january 20th it is game on. here is homan earlier today on "fox & friends." give this a listen. >> we are going to secure the border. you have to put up border barriers, they work. you also have to end catch and release and put the remain in mexico program back in. third state country agreements. this time we'll finish the job. >> bill: you mentioned the cost, sir. there is an investigation that was done. this number just stuns me. i don't know how they determined it. $166 billion cost of crime by illegal immigrants. when you put that with the cover
6:19 am
of the "new york post" yesterday when this sweet 2-year-old girl had a phone number written on a post-it note trying to find her parents somewhere in america. >> first of all, add in the cost to our medical system and our education system, add in the cost to everything that at one of the 15 to (1) 800-0000 illegals that biden and kamala harris let into the country cost taxpayers. in terms of that little girl, bill, we have seen this. this is a sin. this is -- it is a biblical sin in my view of what biden and kamala harris did. they let children in here. when trump -- when president trump was in office we took the dna to try to match with the parents and looked at the adult and child. was the child hesitant. did they look like they were hugging them or in fear. we tried under president trump to protect these children and we did to the best of our ability. what did biden do?
6:20 am
got rid of the dna testing. told the border patrol just let them through. today as we speak, bill, today as we speak, there are hundreds of thousands, 300,000 that we don't know where they are because biden and kamala harris didn't care and they are either being enslaved in some type of work, sweat shop. sex trafficked, boys and girls. seven, eight, ten times a day. a horrendous torture to these children. 300,000 children and the blood and sin is on the hands of kamala harris and joe biden. the bible says if you hurt my child you might as well have a millstone around your neck. those two people have mill stones around their neck. what they've done to these children is unthinkable. >> bill: interesting how elections crystallize people and policy. >> this would be wonderful if it
6:21 am
holds. the problem is that hezbollah and its iranian-backed proxies like hamas and houthis have never kept an agreement. >> dana: nominee for u.s. ambassador to israel mike huckabee amid reports a cease-fire deal with hezbollah is imminent. tulsi gabbard facing a bumpy confirmation. some senators are pushing back and we'll talk about it. ♪

>> bill: so on to the transition now. former democrat tulsi gabbard facing attacks from members of her previous part after trump tapped her for director of national intelligence. alexandria hoff is watching that in washington, d.c. good morning. >> we don't know how all republicans will vote in an eventual confirmation hearing. republicans are saying the accusations from the left have gone too far. to say lieutenant colonel former congresswoman has been compromised by russia is down right dangerous. >> i think she combines inexperience with bad judgment, which is not particularly the kind of combination you are looking for in the head of the intelligence agencies. >> any question about where her loyalty might lie is very
6:28 am
dangerous. >> she is considered to be essentially by most assessments a russian asset. >> that's a big turn. hakeem jeffries said he would not characterize her as a russian asset. a term hillary clinton first lobbed in 2019 prompting bernie sanders to write tulsi gabbard has put her life online to defend this country. it is outrageous for anyone to suggest that actual see is a foreign asset. following ukraine gabbard went defense on comments she made bio labs that romney called russian propaganda. she clarified that being concerned over bio labs with pathogens in a war zone. not that ukraine had bio weapons labs. she made an unannounced trip to syria to meet assad.
6:29 am
since that time she has run for president, also come back and served in congress and so she has gone through classified briefings during that time. he says that democrats are really just going after her at this point because they are upset she left their party. if confirmed as director of national intelligence gabbard would oversee 18 defense and intelligence organizations. >> bill: thank you in washington, d.c. >> dana: a cease-fire deal between israel and hezbollah in lebanon is reportedly very close to being sealed. israeli security cabinet is reportedly expected to meet today to discuss the u.s.-brokered agreement. former secretary of state mike pompeo and fox news contributor joins us now. listen to the state department spokesperson matt miller. >> we have made significant progress with getting towards a resolution that includes progress from where we were when i spoke to this last week. we aren't done yet. nothing is final until
6:30 am
everything is final. we continue to work to try and get an agreement over the line. we're hopeful we can get one but we need both of the parties to get to yes. >> dana: what do you think of

7:24 pm
yes. >> dana: what do you think of the agreement as you understand it so far? >> dana, it sounds like it is 60-day agreement that shouldn't surprise anyone. there are 60 days until president trump takes office. i think the israelis were put under pressure to sign the cease-fire. it is not a peace deal or
7:25 pm
long-term arrangement a temporary cease-fire for a couple of months and see if hezbollah warriors violate this as they violate every other agreement that they've signed and they go right back at it. i hope the israelis made a good decision. they know more about this than any of us do. i have confidence they have this right. i think the american administration, biden team put a lot of pressure on them at the united nations to sign this. had they agreed to a cease-fire when they were originally told to do it by the biden administration there would be a lot more terrorists and risk not only for israel but the united states today. we have to see what's in this and unpack it when we do. >> dana: in the commercial break bill hemmer and i were talking about he was there in 2006 covering the war and hezbollah never really stopped the fighting. >> dana, that's exactly right. i suspect they won't. we should not for a moment mistake hezbollah for the core problem. the core problem is their
7:26 pm
iranian sponsors in tehran. iranians are not signing on the deal. the challenge that is presented to israel is much deeper than just the missiles and missile systems in the north. we'll see. i suspect hezbollah will continue to build and continue its commercial criminal enterprises that funded it for so long and that this cease-fire will prove temporary. more peace is always better. >> dana: israelis want to move the citizens back to that part of the country. go to another theater to russia and ukraine. russia launching a record drone attack on ukraine. the "washington post" headline. ukraine prepares to sell trump on why u.s. should maintain support. that might be difficult if you look at this poll here. this is done before the biden administration allowed ukraine to use the new weapons. support is dwindling. a lot of people think that we're
7:27 pm
maybe either doing too much or about right. ukrainians want more. there will be a new sheriff in town. what can you expect? >> that's right. there will be a new sheriff in town. i suspect it will change the nature of vladimir putin's actions and dana and bill, for four years we kept him from invading ukraine. we had a deterrence model that worked. when president trump is back in power back on the scene i suspect that deterrence model will reestablish itself and make no mistake president trump was very clear we put real pressure on russia not to do precisely what they did. cause trouble in the world. invade europe as they had under president obama when they took crimea and as they did again under president biden. the missile attack, real scale into ukraine is evidence that vladimir putin knows that this is his maximum point of leverage and that in 60 days fundamentally his leverage will have decreased and the shaping of that conflict will have fundamentally changed as well.

requests it, would the massachusetts state police assist in mass deportations? >> no, absolutely not. >> bill: democrats, some of them. digging in their heels on immigration. a massachusetts town set to vote on becoming a sanctuary town. how is that going to work? we'll take you there coming up. if you are traveling today buckle up. how the weather could throw a wrench into your travel plans. ♪ ♪ i'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when i'll be back again, oh babe, i hate to go ♪ give you as a veteran is the eligibility for a va loan, for up to 100 percent of your home■s value. if you need cash for your family call newdayusa. from the va we can say yes when banks say no. give us a call.

>> bill: there will be a new face of justice in two months time. a judge dropped the charges against president trump in the election interference matter in response by a special request from jack smith. kerri urbahn is here to take us through it. want to move the story forward. pam bondi is the nominee to be the next attorney general. if confirmed how would things change with her in charge of the department of justice? >> one thing i really like about pam bondi as our next attorney general is her experience as a state attorney general.
7:36 pm
it is the closest thing you can get to being ag. what i mean by that people misunderstand the role of attorney general in this country. people don't like to think of the role of a.g. as a political position but it is. what does that mean? yes, you have a duty to neutrally and even handedly apply the law but are responsible for pushing forward the president's agenda. as state a.g. pam bondi has great experience working with the governor and do it again here in washington at the department of justice assuming she gets confirmed. to your question, bill, i think pam bondi has a really great opportunity here to be -- to have a legacy and leave a legacy of being a reformer of the department of justice and one of the first things i think she should do is work with congress to get rid of special counsels once and for all. special counsels are the epitome of prosecutors with unfettered power and think about this, $1 hundred million later between
7:37 pm
bob mueller and jack smith. the country is reeling from an abuse of justice over a former president, future president now and the way it happened on the federal level was via special counsels. this is something that can be eliminated and the question then becomes okay, if there is an investigation that needs to be done who will do it? the answer to that is one of the 93 u.s. attorneys. that's their job. and they need to be trusted to be able to do that and when bill barr was a.g. he did it with a number of u.s. attorney and they did it quietly and well. >> bill: interesting. let me read this. atlantic. donald trump gets away with it? "new york times" opinion trump evaded jack smith and the rule of law. i don't know how you come down on that. what about the issue of firings coming up or terminations? how do you gauge that or what should we expect? >> it makes sense why donald trump would want to fire jack smith and special counsel team
7:38 pm
given the fact that special counsel teams are self-selecting. you raise your hand to go after the person you want to go after because you don't care for them typically. donald trump has reason to be concerned about animus from those team members. it gets tricky. civil servants have special kind of protections. however, there has been an open question whether those protections would make it very difficult -- which make it very difficult to file a civil servant if those are constitutional. what donald trump could do and my understanding is they're in the works to do something like this trying to figure out a way to make it easier to fire civil servants but in the meantime they can fire them. those civil servants could effectively sue but i would say let the litigation play out. it will take years. it is a reasonable legitimate constitutional question and what the department of justice should not do, though, in the interim is settle with those employees. that's what they typically do. take settlement off the table and let it play out in court and
7:39 pm
know you are in it for the long haul. a reasonable question that needs to be answered. >> bill: jack smith could quit before inauguration day and it is a mute point is it not? >> of course. a lot of these folks will quit. for some of those who don't, this is an option that i think is worth exploring. >> bill: kerri, nice to see you. kerri urbahn the washington, d.c. >> dana: doge team is taking place. d.c. outsiders are screening candidates ready to slash budgets plus it is hot and cold in the resentencing for the menendez brothers. they are facing new hurdles. >> i do want them home. they should never have been in such situation.
7:44 pm
>> bill: markets are opening en in new york. down as they weigh the tariffs
7:45 pm
announced last night. scott bessent nominated to be treasury secretary they got a jump but lower today. nasdaq was roughed up yesterday. today making a bounceback up about 88 points on the nasdaq. so we'll see how things go here day before the big turkey day. two days. >> dana: new body camera video shows an oklahoma city police officer save a man from falling off a bridge. the man appears to be sleeping when the officer arrives. then he rolls to his side and he starts to fall off. the officer rushes to grab him and a runner passing by jumped in to help. they pulled the man up over the ledge. police say the imagine was not hurt and the officer gave him a ride back to his family. >> bill: good stuff. oklahoma, huh? from oklahoma to los angeles now and a judge throwing cold water on the menendez matter. lyle and eric taking part in
7:46 pm
their first court hearing in decades. that road to freedom that some people believe may happen may have taken a little longer to get to. jonathan hunt live in l.a. with details on what we know now. what happened? >> good morning. erik and lyle menendez and supporters might have hoped they would be home for the holidays. a judge in l.a. said he is delaying their resentencing hearing until the end of january because he needs more time to go through all the evidence and documents from the case, which stretches, of course, back to 1989 when the brothers then 18 and 21 murdered their parents kitty and jose menendez. >> by january 30th or 31st we're hoping that by the end of that, or sometime sooner, that we will, in fact, get the brothers released. >> the move to free the brothers is supported by some menendez
7:47 pm
