10:01 am
now but it is very early. i can see it will get worse and worse as the day goes on. >> i'm feeling great. it has been a wild morning already but we got up early and the sun is out and the weather is good. we are feeling good. >> it's kind of quiet if you ask me. i would expect it to be a little more crazy. the day before thanksgiving so this is pretty good. tsa, our white times are 30 minutes at the most. not bad. >> john: lucky for you because others are not so lucky. americans across the country bracing for a rush. airports alone expected to screen 3 million people today and aaa says an additional 1.3 million travelers will be hitting the road compared to last year. you knew there was about. a powerful winter storm already causing trouble. good afternoon i am john roberts in washington and good afternoon to you. >> sandra: it is wonderful to be with you. i molly line in for sandra smith here in new york city. this is america reports.
10:02 am
heavy rain and snow like john was talking about sweeping toward the east coast after drenching the west already nearly 30 flights have been canceled and more than 1300 have been delayed according to the flight misery map. >> john: we will kick things off with fox business is jeff flock who is where else? behind the wheel of a car on the new jersey turnpike headed for the delaware memorial bridge. >> on the road again john. can't wait to get on the road again. if you can't wait, you are not alone. you talked about the numbers, they say before this holiday is over 80 million people will travel on planes, trains, and automobiles. when it comes to automobiles, put that number up. that is 70 plus million they say. right now we are as you say on the new jersey turnpike headed for the pennsylvania turnpike and if we take a live picture, may be windshield of our car, you see we are moving. earlier today we were in traffic
10:03 am
but not so bad right now. aaa, we talk to them about what could be the worst time, what could be the best time. i remind you know it is wednesday afternoon. here is what they said the worst time might be. >> wednesday afternoon is one of the worst times to be on the roads. traffic just accumulates during the day so if you are hitting the road on wednesday, try to leave as early as possible. thursday is typically a good time to be on the road. >> the only good news i have for you john in terms of being on the road would be gas prices. they are cheaper than they used to be or at least this time last year. maybe $0.20 cheaper now. not cheaper than four years ago. that was really down there. some people think maybe we will get down there again sometime in the next three or four years appeared what do you think? here's the bridge by the way. i promised and i delivered. we are entering the bridge to
10:04 am
pennsylvania. and grandmother's house or somebody's. john, molly. >> john: i figured you were going across the delaware memorial bridge south of wilmington. i didn't know you are headed toward philadelphia. good deal. >> we are further north. i live further north of the cities so i'm i'm not going too far. we will get there one way or another. >> john: terrific. thank you. appreciate it as always. keeping us on the road again. thank you. >> molly: multiple trump picks have been targeted by violent bomb threats and swatting. that according to the trump transition team. no injuries have been reported. bryan llenas is live from west palm beach, florida, with the latest on all of this paired we are beginning to get a little more information of names being added to the list. what do we know brian? >> that's right molly. sources tell fox news that nearly a dozen of president-elect trump's new administration been threatened at least since tuesday night and we now know the identities of at
10:05 am
least five of those appointees and nominees that have received those threats. we began with trump's pick for director john ratcliffe. his nominee for defense secretary pete hegseth, brooke rawlins his pick for agriculture secretary and his nominee for the environmental protection agency leads elgin who says a pipe bomb threat was sent to his family with a pro-palestinian themed message and his pick for united nations ambassador elise stefanik. she is trumps nominee to be at the u.n. a bomb threat was made against her and her family. new york state, county, and u.s. police responded immediately and everyone is okay but in a statement her office said this morning congresswoman elise stefanik, her husband, and their 3-year-old son were driving home to saratoga county from washington for thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residents. the trump transition team said
10:06 am
there were nearly a dozen people that were targeted beginning on tuesday night with "violent un-american threats to their lives." and those who live with them. the threats range from bomb threats to swatting which is making prank calls to send a heavy police presence to someone's home. according to the trump team, local law enforcement responded to the threats and visited the homes of the nominees and appointees that were affected. in the meantime last night president-elect trumps announced six new picks for his administration headlining those picks kevin hassett, director of the white house national economic council, jamison career as u.s. trade representative and doctor as the national institute of health. it should be noted that the fbi has released a statement saying they are aware of these bomb threats and incidents and they are working with local law enforcement. >> the threats to these families are concerning around the
10:07 am
holidays. thank you for keeping on top of this. >> john: thank you. questions are mounting about the harris campaign spending as democrats continue to grapple with her massive election laws. one megadonor suggesting the overspending could be enough to discredit her as a candidate for ever. we will get into that as a moment. joining is now is fox news contributor. i'm sure you saw it carl. the infamous video that was tweeted out by the dnc of kamala harris talking to i guess party faithful after she returned to the united states -- to the continental united states from hawaii. listen to part of what she said. >> i just have to remind you, don't you ever let anybody take your power from you. you have the same power that you did before november 5th. and you have the same purpose
10:08 am
that you did and you have the same ability to engage and inspire. >> john: what do you of that? >> you know, in the 1990s on "saturday night live" they had a character named stuart smalley who was portrayed by al franken and he would say the stupidest organ of the stupidest homilies and when i saw that i thought they have recreated stuart smalley and they made him look like kamala harris. i was taken aback. what was she thinking? if i didn't know better i would say she got into the holiday cheer a little bit too much but what was that all about? >> john: some people are wondering if the democrats put that out there to torpedo her chances of running again in 2028. jen o'malley dillon meanwhile going on "pod save america" with stephanie cutter and blaming the media. listen to this.
10:09 am
>> we would do an interview and the questions were small and processes and about. >> dumb. >> they were not informing a voter who was trying to listen to learn more or to understand. that does a disservice to voters. >> john: i feel like i'm doing the jon stewart show today. the media could not have been more in the tank for her. >> unbelievable. first she looks like a hostage video and now they are attacking protectors. think about the complaints we have heard. not progressive enough, did not attack hard enough, she wasn't a centrist enough which i agree with, she wasted a lot of money and she was a bad campaigner. there's a lot of truth in everything except maybe the first two but the main thing we need to keep in mind is she is a bad candidate who ran a bad campaign but two-thirds of the
10:10 am
american people said the country was going in the wrong direction and biden's approval rating was in the 30s and no party has held the white house when the incumbent of their party has those numbers facing them and we saw a better trump campaign then we saw in 2020 or 2016. particularly in the advertising. they did a magnificent job. that ad that said she is for they/them and he is for you will go down with the 1964 lyndon johnson atom bomb commercial. it was devastating. and yet. let's keep this in mind. she trailed donald trump by 1.61%. he got 49.96, she got 48.35%. even a terrible candidate in a terrible environment came dangerously close to winning. >> john: harris as a result of that is telling her political advisors to keep the door open for future political opportunities. here's what democratic megadonor
10:11 am
john morgan had to say about that. listen here. >> i think this disqualifies her forever. forever. if you can't run a campaign, you can't run america. she's having a call with donors this week and they tell me about her political future. i don't think she has a political future. >> john: that is harsh but is it true? >> i think it is to a large measure. she had a lot of advantages paired she had a terrible environment, she was the vice president of a highly unpopular president, but she had no primary so she did not get dusted up. she raised $2 million and spent it. that is a vast sum of money. far more than her opponent had and yet she still came up short. i'll be by much. but i don't think anyone walked out of this thing she was a great candidate and she will do better next time without biden as a gigantic draw on her. a giant stone for her to have to carry. people looked at her and said she had all kinds of advantages,
10:12 am
people were desperate not to vote for donald trump and yet they did it in large part because she turned out to be a disappointment who could not or would not divorce yourself from the incumbent president. i think the key moment of the campaign is the interview on the view when she said she couldn't think of a single thing she would do differently than joe biden did. >> john: the softballs will always kill you. carl, good to see you. happy thanksgiving. best to you and the family. now this. >> i've set a hundred times in the last week, don't cross that line. it's a felony to conceal from immigration authorities. don't test us. >> molly: incoming border czar tom homan not mincing words. liberal cities are vowing to defy upcoming deportation or orders. we will talk to a massachusetts mother of four on how concerning that is to her up next. >> john: a shocking dhs report reveals how many migrants are
10:13 am
sitting in our jails despite being eligible for deportation. william la jeunesse has the numbers that are just sucking tax pacers drive. >> there are thousands of criminal aliens in jails who get released and not deported paired how will the incoming trump administration change that and deal with sanctuary cities and states? the details are coming up. ♪ thinkin' i can see through this and see what's behind ♪ ♪ 'cause i'm only human after all ♪ ♪ i'm only human after all ♪ ♪ oh, some people got the real problem ♪ ♪ some people out of luck ♪ (♪) if you're on medicare, remember, the annual enrollment period is here.

10:18 am
former vice president mice patents. now he has been asked by donald trump to serve as assistant to the president and special envoy for ukraine and russia. so donald trump already beginning the work of trying to unwind that war as he said he would before taking office. general keith kellogg named as special presidential envoy to ukraine and russia. we will see if he can solve the war. the trumpian is vowing to begin a mass deportation push on day one with plans to prioritizing deportation. william, you've talk to sheriff there. what can we expect? >> what they want to do and what governor newsom will let them do are two different things but in nonsanctuary jurisdictions you will see more federal interest in getting criminal aliens deported. right now we are talking about
10:19 am
basically low-hanging fruit. but they represent a public safety threat. criminal aliens who are already incarcerated in state prisons and local jails who can immediately be deported but frequently they are not because of a lack of money, cooperation, jail space, and a democrat led jurisdictions that use it sanctuary laws to shield illegal immigrants who commit crimes from deportation. >> i cannot hold on a nice detainer. it absolutely must be a federal warrant that a judge has signed to keep that person in custody. and the reality of that is it's impossible. >> case in point. career will criminal and el salvador immigrant carlos carranza ignored nine ice detaid and deport him. released from jail he stabbed
10:20 am
and killed jeff ehlers five years ago. >> we are not here nor should we be here to shield gangsters or violent criminals regardless of immigration status. >> it will be these criminal aliens who fall through the cracks. i dhs ottis found 300,000 aliene through our justice system each year. 50,000 are in state prisons, thousands more are in local jails where they are released every day but congressional audit found 74% criminal alien deportations under criminal ohmic president biden trump and ice deportations felt 90%. >> the corporation on civil immigration will not be forthcoming because it would violate the law. big lives and 100 times in the
10:21 am
last week, don't cross that l line. it's a felony to conceal from authorities. don't test us. >> tom homan is going to go after aliens in jails and prisons. those who have removal orders, 1.3 million who have been ordered and deported by a judge in there out in communities and enforcement. >> john: a lot will change in a little less than 60 days. we will be watching it closely. william la jeunesse for us. thank you. >> molly: as you just heard in william's report, that stark warming coming from tom homan. this comes as democratic leaders across the country vowed to fight trump's plan for mass deportation of criminal migrants. massachusetts among the states at the forefront on this. a mother of four from franklin, massachusetts, joins us now to talk about this.
10:22 am
thank you. this is thanksgiving eve so i'm sure there's a lot of things going on. for folks across the nation in massachusetts, ice boston has been very busy in recent months. they've captured gang members as well as at least 18 men that are accused of sex crimes including child rape. they are here illegally and in several cases there were detainers lodged against some of these accused men. and yet they were released into the community and ice had to go find them. your thoughts on that backdrop and what is happening in your state right now. >> as a mom of four, i am very concerned. i've gotten involved at a real deep community level in the town that i am and that has a migrant hotel and one of the best things, leading from a compassionate heart but understanding what is the best way for us to get transparency and accuracy and there is a
10:23 am
funding issue because we do have situations that are happening within these migrant shelters and they are not being transparent at a town and city level, never mind a state level. by us personally asking what is going on just in our own direct town we are getting pushed back to go straight to the state to try to get information and it is kind of all up in the air of no one really knows what is happening and it is a financial burden, a safety concern, it is straining our individual resources within our own communities with fire and ambulance and emt services. police, even education peer justin franklin alone i know of a situation that happened unfortunately that required the family to move and mediate over to wester and in doing so since the kids were already in public education, our bus systems are now having to get moved from franklin all the way over there to make sure that these kids can go to school just monday through friday. i know tragic situations are
10:24 am
happening in shelters, tragic situations are happening across the state. again as a mom of four, i'm deeply concerned and the more i've gotten involved at an intimate level in my own community, the more concerns i have across the whole entire states that the best advice i can give to community members is to really try to get involved and ask good questions because more the direction that we are going on is the opposite direction of safety and financial needs that are required. >> molly: you are raising a lot of good points about the economy, about the criminal concerns. as you mentioned, governor moore healy as well as the boston mayor, both democrats, they have very openly and publicly pushed back against the trump deportation. listen to that. >> with the massachusetts state police assist in mass deportations? >> no. absolutely not. >> we are not cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear. >> there are these issues. they are very publicly making
10:25 am
these statements. are you concerned that by being so public about this, as new plans are implemented with a new administration that criminal elements, illegal immigrants, might fled to massachusetts seeking the sanctuary status and consider themselves safer and you mention on the economy we have a shelter crisis in massachusetts. they are overwhelmed and it cost a billion dollars. just regular illegal immigrants that feel like they might be safer in massachusetts. there could be a flood of people seeking sanctuary because of these very public statements. >> absolutely. going back to the financial and the economy, we are seeing a lot of overrides that are happening in the commonwealth right now. our town is one of those towns that had faced that and our public resources are being strained here and the people themselves are already struggling to put a roof over their head and pay their bills. not only are we unwilling to comply to what president trump is looking to move in, but we are also now putting the financial burden i think on
10:26 am
taxpaying citizens and we are all struggling as is. there's a safety concern here, there is an economic concern here and i really think that the people of massachusetts are going to have to try to step up and get more involved in their local communities because clearly governor healey is looking to do the opposite of what our administration is hoping to move forward. >> molly: thank you so much. i'm wishing you a happy thanksgiving and of course the four kids good i'm sure you have a million things you would like to be doing right now so we appreciate your time. happy thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. thank you. >> john: airbnb host in the washington, d.c., area urging other hosts to block trump supporters from renting their places during the inauguration. it's a form of resistance but is it legal? we will ask our fox news legal editor kerri urbahn coming up next. plus this. >> an elected official in cook county. >> you are on video.
10:27 am

get kardiamobile 6l for just $99 right now, our lowest price of the year, at kardia.com or amazon. >> molly: a local democratic official in cook county, illinois, arrested and charged with driving under the influence. the arrest caught on police body cams. mike tobin is standing by in chicago. a little more on this for us. what happened here? >> now we are hearing calls first made this deal to resign if you're not for the alleged dui but the attempt to intimidate a chicago cop. the sun-times said she should quit calling the actions of pitiful attempt to throw around her way. the longer public on the cook county commission gave a statement of fox news staying this incident undermines public trust and i urge commissioner steele to consider resigning for the sake of our community. she had already hit by her own
10:32 am
admission to cars before police arrived. body cam shows that she was uncooperative and letting her attorney do the talking. an example of an attempt to misuse her position comes from police urging her to get out of the car. >> if you don't exit the vehicle. i'm going to help you exit and you don't want that. >> you don't want that. >> i do. you want me to handcuff you and arrest you because right now at this point you are refusing to provide me. >> i am. >> you realize that right? >> yes. i don't want any of this. >> the video goes on to show that police how to how found bottle wine in the car and she went to the hospital to be checked out and that is where she reportedly accused a male police officer of behaving a certain way because he had small. the charge is a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. she was elected to the cook county board of review in 2022 which is a three person
10:33 am
panel and it is considered a powerful position in cook cook county. thank you. >> dumb xp with speaking of people in positions. rudy giuliani facing a defamation lawsuit of more than $140 million for it he has been forced to hand over some of his luxury assets to two georgia election workers after repeatedly accusing them of fraud which ultimately ended in their dismissal. does the punishment fit the crime? let's bring in kerri urbahn. here's what he said about it in court the other day. the implications you are making against me are wrong. i have no car, no credit card, no cash screwed everything i have is tied up. they have put stop orders on my business accounts and i can't pay my bills. clearly there was an issue here with what he said but was there this much of an issue? >> that is the big question here. does someone's bad behavior give
10:34 am
a jury or the legal system license to destroy them and perhaps a disproportionate way? we all know rudy giuliani as america's mayor from how many years ago. i was born and raised a new yorker, i remembered the difference in times square as a kid free him and post him. i was allowed to walk around because in fact it was disney. and of course after 9/11 that's when he was dubbed america's mayor. he was named person of the year by "time" magazine and france were 20 years later here we are. certainly the decline of rudy giuliani is a sad one. he certainly acted badly with respect to these two affection elixirs officials accusing them of fraud when it was revealed it wasn't the case. but the effort by the court and the legal system to grind him into the ground until there is
10:35 am
nothing left, it feels uncomfortable which is why we have in the state constitutions around the country in the u.s. constitution prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment, excessive fines, and the like because -- just because someone does something bad doesn't mean that the justice system can't respond badly as well and i can't help but wonder if there is a little bit of that going on here right now. >> john: we will watch us and see where it goes. the other issue, we have the inauguration coming up across the street on january the 20th and there are some airbnb hosts who are urging their fellow hosts not to rent their places in washington, d.c., to trump supporter's. this is what "the washington post" said. when donald trump became president-elect yet again d.c. resident stacy king felt she needed to do something so january 20th inauguration creeps closer, she decided to reach out to fellow airbnb hosts with a request. consider taking your rentals off the market that weekend or
10:36 am
increase your prices and donate the profits to liberal causes. they are private owners. can they do this? >> they are private owners who are opening their homes for business via airbnb and in washington, d.c., it is a protected class. not federally but it is here in this town. when i saw the emails and the reason i came across them was not reporting but because a friend of mine forwarded it to me and said look what they are circulating in my friend's neighborhood right now. i immediately thought if you open your doors for business and you put out there by the way if you are republican, say you voted for donald trump and that's the implication here, we aren't open for you. it really raises some interesting legal questions potentially and i heard people say it's only four people. why does it matter it's only four people. if this was a different protected class i think there would be more outrage and airbnb did respond and they said they didn't agree with this behavior,
10:37 am
this was not their standards of practice, but i do think it raises an interesting legal question for sure. >> john: you can imagine the human cried back in 2008 or 2012 airbnb hosts got together and said don't rent to obama supporters. >> exactly. and people are uncomfortable to make certain analogies but i don't know why because they are very clear in why they are closing their doors. again, if you open your doors for business in that way, even as a third party, there are some serious questions. >> j >> john: as mike huckabee said, vote with your wallet. just don't go. great to see you. happy thanksgiving. >> i'm two states away. they were located in boone and very few and far between you find someone willing to help you that far away. most organizations are about the immediate communities so that shows what a great organization they have.
10:38 am
>> molly: that's hurricane helene survivor on "america reports" yesterday. thankful for the organizations that helped him get out of the tent and into that tiny home. we will talk to the head of one of those organizations next. >> john: president biden introducing a new proposal for a popular weight loss drugs but how much will it cost you and will the trump administration keep it? dr. marc siegel coming up next on deck (vo) this black friday, verizon will turn your old or broken phone into a gift. anyone can trade in any phone, in any condition and get samsung galaxy s24+ with galaxy ai and watch and tab, all three on us. even if your phone is old or dated, you can turn it in at verizon for gifts for you and the family. all three on us. that's up to $1,900 in value. only on verizon.
10:42 am
yes, the time has come for a fresh approach to dog food. everyday, more dog people are deciding it's time to quit the kibble and feed their dogs fresh food from the farmer's dog. made by vets and delivered right to your door precisely portioned for your dog's needs. it's an idea whose time has come. ♪ >> john: the biden administration is working to dramatically expand access to popular weight loss drugs like owes them back and we go v. the new proposal would make millions of americans with medicaid and medicare eligible for the drugs. dr. marc siegel has got more in this plan but we are nantucket,
10:43 am
massachusetts, pier did it stop raining? >> it has stopped raining. overall not bad. this news from the biden administration might be welcomed. 1 of 4 americans still have their access holiday weight some last year and perhaps also welcome news for some of the 7.5 million americans on medicare and medicaid. what is this going to cost question work we have the numbers for you. it will cost $25 billion over the next decade for medicare and $11 billion for medicaid. states will pay $4 billion for their share. but this plan may go nowhere two months from now if trump gets his public health officials through the senate. the president wants the national institutes of health to be run by someone who is restoring
10:44 am
trust after perceived mistakes during covert times and in october 2020 he coauthored an open letter known as the declaration which warned about the harmful effects of lockdowns on society and then if bobby kennedy jr. gets confirmed by the senate his mantra of course make america healthy again and his agenda is diet and exercise, not costly drugs but the pharmaceuticals have not been part of the pitch. here's jillian michaels last night. >> we are talking about utilizing this drug as a first-line of defense for human beings as young as six years old. we are talking about a vast swath of the population. up to 28 million people that they would like to prescribe these drugs to that are simply not candidates. >> not sure how many people on the eve of thanksgiving want to hear about weight loss appeared not sure the people of massachusetts want to hear that the first thanksgiving was in virginia. >> john: if they don't want to hear about it today they will likely want to hear about it on
10:45 am
friday. lucas tomlinson for us. happy thanksgiving. enjoy nantucket. now this. >> wow. i don't know what to say. i'm speechless right now. my family had it rough and i had it rough before the flood and you know, i don't know what to say right now. i'm so very grateful and ble blessed. >> molly: that powerful moment from the show yesterday. virginia resident eric had been living in a tent since september after hurricane helene destroyed his home. americans across the region are still getting back on their feet but as the holidays approach some folks that are in stock and makeshift housing has something special to be thankful for. the gift of a tiny house. incredible projects underway. nick pickerel, founder of kingsway services is with us right now. you could hear the gratitude in his voice for a tiny house. thank you so much for what you are doing here on the cusp of a
10:46 am
holiday. a lot of families are still struggling. roads and bridges are out and i can only imagine the logistical challenges but how do you pull a team together like this? how does that work? what are you doing to make this happen for people that are still struggling. thank you so much. >> it's an amazing community that we live in and it's an community effort. we started this a couple weeks ago with the idea of how can we help several of us who are down in north carolina and we saw the devastation and we were trying to do cleanup. we come back and say how can we help? we got together. a friend of mine really came up with the idea and said let's build some tiny homes and send them down. we thought let's get together with three. we will start with three and see where it takes us and so many different community members, business owners have gotten involved and it continues to grow and expand from there. >> molly: i can see one of the tiny homes right behind you. incredible projects. it's heartbreaking to think so
10:47 am

10:55 am
>> john, one of the parts of the meal that will set people back the most is the stuffing, but i want to give you the full picture because i have the full spread. it will cost you $58 to feed your family and that is down from last year but when you look back at 2019 pre-pandemic it was $10 cheaper so let's get into the nitty-gritty and show off some of the delicious amazing thanksgiving food. what is thanksgiving without a turkey? compared to last year the price is down 6%. that makes sense. however when you look back to 2019, you see the cost of turkey is up 23%. and you really can't avoid that because this is the centerpiece of every table. but i want to give you some good news peered something to be thankful for this thanksgiving. that's my favorite side, potatoes. for me, mashed. year over year, the price of potatoes is down 26%. it is down so much that potatoes today are actually cheaper than
10:56 am
they were in 2019. but now i will pivot to bad news peered one of the most inflationary items on the table is stuffing. since last year the price has gone up 8% and over the last five years the price has gone up 52%. i think this is another staple so another thing you can't avoid but you are paying more for it this year compared to pre-pandemic and finally, you might not like it but it is good for you. your greens. they will cost you more green. year-over-year the cost is down 8% but over the last five years, 21% increase. this is just for the food. you need to wash it all down and that will cost you more. if you are drinking wine, that is up 2% year-over-year but this is a wonderful holiday worth celebrating so maybe worth dishing it out and i hope i'm a little early but i want to wish you a happy thanksgiving because there is so much to be thankful for. >> john: happy thanksgiving to you as well. i'm coming over for dinner
