the nation's capital and this is america's late news, "fox news @ night". breaking tonight, the kamala harris team is blaming a sexist double standard in the media as the major reason for her overwhelming defeat, and they argue tonight if they had their own say on the joe rogan podcast, election results might have been different. >> if she did more traditional media. trump did literally none. >> don't even get me going on that. >> i'm sure they are scrambling to try to create their own version of this show. this is 1 thing that keeps coming up. we need our own joe rogan. but they had me. >> kevin: that they did. meantime just hours ago a u.s. appeals court halting the biden-harris administration from ripping down razor wire fencing along the texas border with mexico just like they did with a forklift as you see there. texas governor greg a bit

promising to add even more from the state. speaking of the lone star state, the university of austin not to be confused with the university of texas at austin, is rolling back dei initiatives and replacing them with more merit-based admissions policies. just the latest university to heed the incoming president's warning about getting rid of, you know, woke policies. this while the fbi investigates multiple bomb threats made against president-elect trump's nominees and appointees. we begin with correspondent jeff paul live in the southland with more. >> reporter: good evening kevin. both local law enforcement and the fbi are investigating these bomb threats. so far it is not appear anyone was physical hurt but investigators say they take every 1 of these incidents very seriously obviously. sources tell fox news this started on tuesday. the threats impacted nearly 1 dozen of president-elect trump's cabinet nominees and appointees. they included cia director

nominee john radcliffe, trump spectra agricultural secretary, and defence secretary nominee pete hegseth. they say a pipe bomb threat was sent with a pro-palestinian message. trump's selection for u.n. ambassador says she was traveling for thanksgiving when the bomb threat was made. state police and new york state no explosives and no explosive devices were located. incoming border czar tom homan says he too has received death threats threat -- since trump announced his new role. >> i have not taken it serious up to this point. now that i know what's happened the last 24 hours i will take it more serious. i'm not going to be intimidated by these people. i am going to do this job. i'm going to do this job because it's an issue of national security. you are going to shut me up, i'm not going away. >> reporter: law enforcement is looking to see if anyone else involved with the incoming trump

administration was also a victim of the recent bomb threats and swatting calls. the white house confirms president joe biden was briefed, is closely monitoring the situation and strongly condemns threats of political violence. >> kevin: thank you so much. for more on the threats against trump allies let's bring in former white house deputy comes director roma daravi and erin perrine of axiom strategies. we were talking and the break there, this is a very serious and frankly scary thing to have happen, talking about swatting. >> and it's a dangerous situation as well. not only are you putting law enforcement at risk because you are sending them into a situation where they believe there's a threat against an individual or family so they are mobilizing as much as they can to address what they believe is a critical issue. not only is it hard on resources in hard on the officers, but it's hard on communities, hard on neighbors, hard on families every time anything like this happens. if it's a foreign adversary or

some kid with too much time on his hands. you hope whoever does this is brought to justice quickly. >> kevin: spot on. you are right, they shut down blocks. sometimes your whole neighborhood in the circumstance. it can be scary. roma, let me get you to react to this, this idea that there was polling that made them think they were in really good shape. that was then, this is now. she lost all 7 swing states. listen and we will get reaction on the other side. >> i think it's a prized people because there were public polls that came out in late september early october showing us leads we never saw. >> as we look at how 100% of the votes will be allocated in the battleground states, we think we have an advantage over the trump campaign. >> there's been no sense of responsibility, no accountability. i feel like all these consultants are just going to fail upwards time and time again and move on to the next campaign as though this disaster did not unfold. >> kevin: the last part by

lindy lee. >> it's interesting they are complaining about their internal polling numbers as if they did not have access to their internal data. we all saw the external polling that had president trump at 90% of those polled had him up in every swing state. it's not be a surprise then that the american people were moving away from kamala harris. sure she had a bump when they first announced that she was their new candidate, but that did not last. quickly after, her numbers started to drop and as soon as the american people were asking questions about her policies and she could not give an answer, it continued to fall. this is really no surprise. it's a little bit laughable to me that they are just now saying oh, no, we did not know this was going to happen. the polls and the public were all wrong. you have access to your own polling too. >> kevin: erin, your thoughts? >> i think democrats will have a big reckoning and what they are showing the american people right now is they aren't having it. the american people rejected these policies.

democrats are blaming everybody but themselves. they are not saying our policies went too far or kamala wasn't a good candidate, they are saying it was the media that isn't on our side, which is probably the most laughable thing. >> kevin: it is crazy. really quickly i want to share this from "the new york times". talking about this idea of elon musk slashing the federal budget. he faces big hurdles they say on his social media platform he posted it godfather style picture of himself as the d.o.g.e. father, asking government employees, what did you get done this week? roma, a lot of people and washington abuzz about this prospect. what do you think is going to happen here? >> washington is terrified by the idea of efficiency so of course they are going to be up in arms right now. elon musk, he's a very smart man but also a very funny man. he uses x to his advantage, sharing some cool graphics and tweets of him, you know, with

this funny little figure that he created for d.o.g.e. the media hates it but this is what the american people voted for. so of course you are going to get pushback from the left and the media but at the end of the day this is what people are waiting on, they are waiting for the government to finally work for them again so they can afford food and presents for their kids this holiday and gas to get to their families houses for thanksgiving. turkey is up 29%. the list goes on. finally time for some efficiency around here. >> kevin: erin, wrap us up. >> if i am in the united states federal government now, i want to make sure i'm doing my job as effectively and efficiently as i can because for the first time in a long time people are going to be looking at what's going on. >> kevin: bye-bye work from home, it back to the office. what have i done to deserve this great just kidding. ladies, thank you so much. happy thanksgiving to both of you.

>> their lack of self-awareness, self-reflection. the inability to figure out a way in which you can win this race. providing messaging and saying that you don't believe in your heart of hearts that this is true is disappointing. >> kevin: democrats have been talking a lot about the lessons they've learned from trump's reelection, but have they actually really truly learned anything at all? let's talk about that with "new york post" reporter lydia moynihan and brad polumbo. i just want to get your thoughts, lydia. this is a democratic strategist. i want to get your reaction because again, there's this idea that had they done this, they can do that, and maybe the future will be ever so bright for the vice president despite getting swamped by trump. listen to this and get your reaction on the other side. >> is this a good idea for vp harris to continue her

political ambitions? >> not to run for president again in 2028. please don't. i can't really speak for governor of california, but another shot of the presidency, i hope she doesn't. if she is relying on those same advisors that advised her this cycle, that's not who i would listen to. >> kevin: sister girl said no, girl, don't do that, i wouldn't go there if i was you. your thoughts? >> it's pretty shocking from kamala harris' perspective. they are already putting out a trial balloon testing the waters if people are interested potentially in your running after 1 of the most dramatic losses that we've seen in recent history. seeding so much territory to republicans, ending the campaign $20 million in debt despite inheriting a pretty impressive campaign apparatus from joe biden. i think anyone else would may be take a step back and think let's reorient, figure out where we

want the party to go. i think the democrats are trying to figure out what is next. the fact that they still are looking to kamala harris and some of these other figures who have clearly been very unsuccessful in running a campaign, of course she almost got kicked off the ticket because her favourability rating was so low. the fact she is emerging as a top contender is interesting and i'm curious to see who does emerge. was obviously a lot more centrist candidates like shapiro or moore. if they are able to prevail. but i would imagine on the 1 hand it seems so improbable that somebody like kamala harris would get another job after this, could be reelected, but you look at what the democrats are valuing and it seems given that, it might not be so far-fetched. >> kevin: maybe she can find a home politically in the golden state. let me get your reaction to this, the senior politics reporter over at cnn. listen to his thoughts about when the election was lost.

your reaction on the other side. >> i think the election was probably lost 3 years ago when the white house was saying inflation was transitory when everyone knew it wasn't and they were saying there wasn't a border crisis when there was. >> kevin: to quote joe wilson, you lie. that's what he seems to be saying there, brad. >> they chose gaslighting as a political strategy, the biden-harris administration, on everything from the border to inflation to gas prices. i still remember them calling it all putin's price hike and trying to blame all the prices and our economy going up on a war in ukraine when obviously that had something to do with it but there was a lot more to it than that, including their massive stimulus binge. they never took accountability and as the sitting vice president, kamala harris was always inextricably tied to the status quo while most americans felt the country was going on the wrong track. that's a recipe for electoral disaster so them when you add that to all of the single missteps she made, from not going on joe rogan and reaching

millions of the exact audience she needed to reach, to not saying anything when she was asked about sympathetic media outlets like the view, what would you have done differently than joe biden back when that was a layup, but she totally missed it off the backboard. kamala harris took a tough situation and made it worse which is again why i can't believe anyone is talking about her for 2028. remember she would have to actually win a democratic primary in order to even do that. last time she tried to do that she crushed out before iowa. >> kevin: it's not going to happen. with all the respect that would be a huge comeback for her. stranger things have happened but i doubt it. 15 seconds each, a want to get a prediction. does joe biden, lydia, pardon hunter on the way out the door? >> i mean at this point he might as well. it would be obviously a tough cell but he has a few more months. it doesn't seem like he's very concerned about necessarily his legacy at this point. it doesn't seem he's very concerned about making his party happy. so i think from his vantage

point he feels a lot of anger towards democrats. he might as well but of course obviously not a good look when it's pretty evident to the average american that he did a lot of illicit things from illicit drugs to owning guns he should not have had, to prostitutes it. but will see. >> kevin: brad? >> i think you should at least. he has nothing to lose at this point. put your family first for once. why not? >> kevin: it's interesting. he said he would not do it on multiple occasions he's promised that he would not do it. it would not surprise me up on the way out the door he said i changed my mind. lydia and brad, thank you so much for your time, we appreciate it. >> thank you. we will terminate every diversity, equity, and inclusion program across the entire federal government. on day 1 i will revoke joe biden's crazy executive order, installing marxist diversity, equity, and inclusion

czars and every federal agency, and i will immediately terminate all staffers hired to implement this horrible agenda. >> kevin: as rejecting dei initiatives quickly becomes more and more welcome as a trend in corporate and academic america, "the new york times" is now under fire for allegedly shelving coverage of a groundbreaking study that raises very serious questions about the psychological impacts of dei. let's bring in the man who wrote that story, evolution our biologist and manhattan institute fellow colin wright. a real honor to have you with us tonight, colin, because there are a number of things i wanted to ask you. obviously given the brief amount of time we have i just want to touch on a couple. i want to begin by getting your reaction to the big headline which read in part, why was this groundbreaking study on dei silenced? this is so great. "the new york times" and bloomberg abruptly shelved coverage of a groundbreaking study that raises serious

questions about the psychological impacts of diversity, equity and inclusion pedagogy. the researchers demonstrated that exposure to anti-op anti-oppressive, antiracist rhetoric, common in many dei initiatives, consistently amplified perceptions of bias where none existed. a very interesting take on sub stack. i love reading what you wrote. unpack it for the audience if you would not mind. >> we've heard for years, ever since these radical dei trainings and policies have been forced upon us and our children in schools and the workplace, that dei, that it works and that gets the correct and perhaps only moral solution to fighting bigotry and hate. many of us recognize from the start that hyper fixating on our superficial differences instead of things like our shared humanity is absolutely ludi ludicrous. it's really the antithesis of mlk's clarity to judge people by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin.

these studies, we finally have definitive proof that our common sense suspicions were absolutely correct. it turns out these dei practices induced hostility, increased authoritarian tendencies and made people more likely to agree with really extreme rhetoric like endorsing terms when you replace the word with the cast term. this is no light thing. >> kevin: it's no light thing and i know that we talked briefly about the university of austin, the vp there talking about safe spaces et cetera. listen to this and get your reaction on the other side. >> they talk about safe spaces. we want to create an environment that safer ideas to be explored. and where there is not risk to the student for taking positions as they explore. we don't believe the institution should have a position or an orthodoxy or ideology. 1 of the criticisms of dei across institutions is it does not allow oxygen in the room for other ideas to be discussed.

>> kevin: it does not allow oxygen in the room for other ideas to be discussed. as you answer this question, colin, your reaction to what michael had to say, i want to put up a meme as you are talking just a share for the folks at home. i love this meme of how you have always been pretty much where you have been. everything else around you keeps shifting to the left. your reaction to what michael had to say and maybe wrap us up by telling us about your great meme. >> i mean i think he's absolutely correct. we need to bring universities back to their roots of pursuing truth and creating knowledge. you can't rigorously do that if you cannot speak freely and risk potentially offending someone. universities are supposed to be, if they are space -- safe spaces for anything it should be to discuss dangerous or uncomfortable ideas, not for shielding students feelings. this cartoon is something that has gone incredible he viral. it really describes my feelings of increased political

alienation from the left specifically around issues of free-speech and individual rights and women's rights. people on the left one spewed free-speech as sacrosanct and now they sort of disparage this open expression, we don't judge people by the content of their character, it's now based on group identity. the left can't even tell you what a woman really is so how can you stand up for women's rights when you don't even know what a woman is. that's what that meme tries to encapsulate. >> kevin: i think it spoke so well to how a lot of americans feel in 2024. a real pleasure, hope to have you again, thank you for spending time with us tonight on "fox news at night". >> i appreciate it, thank you. >> kevin: coming up, a shocking report revealing just how many illegal aliens currently in the u.s. jails are there despite being eligible for deportation. what in the world is going on? more on those numbers just ahead. and later in the nightcap... >> it's completely fine to not

be around those people and to tell them why. to say i have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood and i'm not going to be around you this holiday, i need to take some space for me. >> get over it. stop acting like we owe you and for god's sake stop whining. it's embarrassing. our thanksgiving, our choice. >> kevin: wow. the presidential election just might be impacting some thanksgiving dinners this year. as democrats encourage each other to cut off family and friends who voted for trump. so what do you think about this? why are people, even family, cutting off each other? is it a good idea or bad idea? tell us why. we will hear from you on instagram @foxnewsnight and on x, your responses coming up later in the show in the nightcap. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> kevin: welcome back. 25 minutes after the hour. trump transition officials say their top priorities for deportation with migrants are the ones who have terrorist ties and those who have actually committed crimes while here in the u.s. while for most people that sounds completely reasonable, forces on the left tonight are already aligning an anti-trump opposition. correspondent chanley painter has more on that tonight on how the team trump is preparing to carry out it's plans. >> reporter: good evening my friend. border security is just one of the challenges the trump administration will face. homeland security report found that biden administration deported 74% fewer criminal migrants than trump. and in california, annual i.c.e. deportations fell by 90%. a recent department of homeland security audit found nearly

300,000 criminal migrants in state and local jails are actually eligible for deportation but they had not been deported yet because of sanctuary policies nationwide. here's what one california sheriff had to say. >> we would notify i.c.e. and say we have ten in our custody that are due to be released and they would come pick them up. now that does not happen, there is no communication between us and i.c.e. >> reporter: in the case of salvador in a legal migrant and gang member, police ignored nine i.c.e. detainer's to hold him for deportation. when released he allegedly stabbed and killed someone five years ago. this from earlier tonight, a federal court of appeals ruled that texas has the right to continue building that razor wire wall that the southern border after all. >> kevin: that is good for them and good for the safety and security of residents in the great state of texas. thank you so much.

let's get some insight into the southern border crisis during the transition to the next administration from former dhs deputy secretary jonathan fahey and attorney mehek cooke and rnc surrogate. we've got more sound from the riverside county sheriff talking about this idea of a sanctuary state which is apparently what gavin newsom is pushing for. listen to what they have to say and we will get your reaction on the other side. >> sanctuary state is a disaster for public safety. this has nothing to do with immigration. this is about our legislature deciding a decade ago that they wanted criminals running free in our state with no consequence for what they did and not being deported. it makes no sense to absolutely anyone in public safety. >> kevin: how do they justify doing this when they know the consequences could be deadly?

>> there really isn't a justification because democrats did not learn that people in america do not want illegal immigration. in fact 60% of americans have said they are pushing for deportation. when you look at sanctuary cities like -- that may exist in california and so many other democratic states, it's going to be very clear whether it's sheriffs, dhs agents, border patrol, they've been handcuffed by the democrat administration in the past. we will be taking the shackles off and allowing them to do their job. something they haven't been able to do under the biden-harris administration. let's not forget president trump said on day one he is going to start deportation. so let's start with the people in the prisons and then let's also not forget most americans don't know this fact, over half of the illegal immigrants today are people who have overstayed their work visas and their student visas. they came here legally, we know where they live, we know who they are because they filled out paperwork to apply for their visas. let's start without deportation

next. >> kevin: i think mehek makes a great point especially when you talk about the prisons. we know they've committed crimes, we know they are a public safety risk, what could possibly be wrong about mass deportation, at least from that perspective? >> that's a very good question and there really isn't a good answer. there isn't a reasonable answer to this. it's funny that the democrats, a lot of them have doubled down on the century cities which you would think after the lakin riley, a lot of people have been watching that trial, and it shows heartbreaking. she was somebody that would be alive if new york city was not a century city, if this person wasn't allowed into the country to begin with. so the only thing that makes sense is they are just putting their personal political agenda ahead of the public safety of their citizens and what i mean by that, they want to be seen as standing up to donald trump and they don't even care if it affects their citizens in a harmful way. the thing that makes it even worse, even if you are a century city, you are not just affecting your citizens like york with

mayor adams. when you let somebody out they can travel to another city and kill someone. you have a responsibility far beyond your citizens that you are not even being responsible for, but other people have a right to be safe and lakin riley's family will have a tough day tomorrow because of the policies. >> kevin: it's infuriating when you hear these public leaders make these proclamations knowing full well, like you just said, anyone could get killed by somebody who's already a danger. very quickly, i want to share a post on truth social from president-elect trump. he said, just had a wonderful conversation with the new president of mexico. she has agreed to stop migration from mexico into the united states, effectively closing our southern border. we also talked about what could be done to stop the massive drug inflow into the u.s. and also u.s. conception of these drugs. it was a very productive conversation. 15 seconds each.

mehek, what do you think of the post and the conversation? >> i'm not surprised that president trump has done more as president-elect then actually in the white house and the entire biden-harris administration. this is another tool and his toolkit. tariffs work, the threats work and we will see the border secure before he even enters office. >> kevin: makes a good point, jonathan. >> a very good point. i think the big differences president trump is trying to stop this. the biden administration was encouraging people to come illegally. it also shows that this problem is not overly complicated. we have leverage with mexico. we should use it and stop this because we need to save american lives. if they stop the illegal immigration, the illegal drugs, we can save a lot of lives and make lives better for people here and probably people there as well. >> kevin: you nailed it. save lives on both sides of the border. jonathan, mehek, thank you so much. coming up, trump fired one director but will he fire

the fbi, the doj, the dod report to the united states senate and house of representatives and that commitment continues to grow their tenure. i don't want anymore washington speak about we can't talk about this for that. the american people deserve courage and commitment and constitutional oversight and that's what president trump is going to deliver. >> kevin: that has been one of the major criticisms. we were just talking about this of christopher wray. you can't classify, redirect and soar a can't talk about this are that. you are responsible to the american people, responsible to congressional lawmakers, and you need to give them information. we have not been getting much over the last several years. >> we were just talking about the assassination attempt on president trump. the fbi hasn't released, as best i can tell, one document in response to our request for what happened up in butler, pennsylvania, let alone what happened subsequently in florida. so there's this terrible secrecy around the fbi and the problem

that christopher wray has is that he rated trump's home periods agents raided trump's home. and he knew or should have known there was no good faith-based reason to target trump let alone red his home. i don't even know how he can look him in the eye let alone expect him to remain as fbi director. as far as i'm concerned, if the fbi is able to -- at the point of the trump administration should be in large measure to make sure that the fbi to the degree it remains can't ever do it to someone else what they did to trump. >> kevin: i think that's fair and i think it's fair because not only did it completely fly in the face of reasonable expectation of how they would carry out their responsibilities, i think most people feel like there should be so more consideration before you go do some of the things we have seen them do. i want to get your reaction from this from the times. headline, jack smith closes up shop, defeated more by voters than jurors. it says, but instead of leaving his post on the heels of a

courtroom victory, he's departing after a defeat determined largely at the ballot box. and for all mr. smith's efforts to avoid having his work enmeshed in politics, mr. trump essentially put the voters between himself and federal prosecutors. i think that is pretty fair. what say you? >> i think the voters found trump in effect innocent on election day. they rejected the law fair that i've been talking about here. smith is going to try to punish trump on his way out, even the judge handling his case up here in d.c. said by the way, he can bring this case up again after he leaves office, as if that is going to happen. they will try to protect their reputations on the way out but there needs to be serious investigation into what went on here. i think if there's a credible -- there's a credible issue about whether these abusers in the biden regime and the states

new york and georgia abuse their offices to punish trump for exercising his civil rights. that's a federal crime potentially. there needs to be a review of that. >> kevin: it's interesting. i would never suggest that turnabout is fair play and that retaliation is in order. a thought a great point was made about it. but you might be wondering, mike that happen? not because it's the right thing or even a good thing, but because it's a human thing, the way this all went down over the last four years plus. i think it's fair to say. great to see you my friend, happy friday. for us it's thanksgiving eve, feels like a friday. have a great holiday tomorrow, thank you so much. ♪ ♪ >> kevin: and as mentioned it is thanksgiving eve and we are very happy tonight to bring you some fox good news at night. about an outstanding organization serving those in need throughout the year. it's really ramping up their efforts during this holiday

take care of their small kids, for them to be impacted by other men that have gotten out of prison. casino the background there, our second chance heroes drove for about six hours to go deliver clothing, go deliver items for their homes, beds. these kids did not have any furniture, they are sleeping on the floor, their dads are in prison. our guys drove all the way to that home to make sure that those kids had housing products and a bed to sleep in. so it really is powerful to see. we feed so many people, thousands of people across south florida. the second chance heroes is what we call them. they go out and literally deliver hundreds of thousands of pounds of food to the community. they do it all in the name of. these are men that have been redeemed, their lives have been changed, they take our programs inside the prison and then they get out and start to be begins of light in their communities.

three words for both of you, it me three words to describe the jack brewer foundation. >> we serve like told us to, humbly. that was me talking on that screen and i try to lead by example. by doing the dirty work. i think if our leaders across america start doing the dirty work and be selfless, this nation will be revived. i think change is happening. it started november fifth and it will continue. >> kevin: julian, wrap us up. >> i say we are nonstop. a nonstop organization that is working to illuminate all the things that put in our heart and we are here to help the fatherless. we wish everyone a happy thanksgiving. >> kevin: god bless you both, thank you so much. great stuff. >> bless you. >> kevin: so is ditching family and friends over politics crazy or could it be necessary?

jeff paul, jonathan fahey, tom fitton, roma daravi and jillian anderson. hostile holidays. things may be heating up at thanksgiving tables across the table tomorrow as democrats encourage each other to cut off their trump backing family and friends. what do you think about cutting people off over politics? is it insane or is it the right thing to do? chanley painter? >> i think it's insane. let's just get together, focus on what we are thankful for and pass the mashed potatoes my way. >> kevin: jeff paul. >> listen, i'm going to say this to people out there watching, if you still have family alive that you can go and argue with, consider yourself lucky because one day they are not going to be there anymore. politics change, family is the only one you've got. >> kevin: spot on. jillian. >> i think the liberals should take their own advice and we are talking about inclusion, let's include everyone at the family table. my family, we've been celebrating since november fifth. we are looking forward to lower

taxes, cheaper grocery prices and dignity on the world stage. >> kevin: how about you, jonathan? >> thanksgiving is about bringing people together and you should spend time with your family. i think i would recommend for anyone out there, raise a glass just as a unifying message to say let's make thanksgiving great again. >> kevin: roma daravi. >> the left called for wives to lie to their husbands at the polls and know they are calling for you to disown your own family and friends so they love cancel culture, what can i say. now they are trying to cancel their own family at thanksgiving. >> kevin: tomi, wrap us up. >> i can't imagine anyone who would want me at their dinner table. [laughter] >> come on. >> kevin: you are the best. let's share some responses. i agree with that by the way. brandon writes, cutting people off over politics is a terrible idea. and the wise words of john lennon, life is very short and there's no time for fighting and fussing, my friends. paula says everyone gets to set

their own boundaries for their own lives. part of that is accepting consequences. jones says family before politics. if you have to go down to that rabbit hole, do so with a polite and calm tone. that's good. how about scott, -- said it best, at the end he won't think about politics, you will want your family with you. indeed. caroline, we will be at a split political table at our house but we are family. janice wrapping us up says, ridiculous, no need to talk politics. talk food and travel for a fun evening. i might throw in talk a little football as well. thank you to the nightcap crew and we thank you for watching america's late news, "fox news @ night". happy thanksgiving to everybody out there and we hope that you eat a lot and leave the politics to us. we will see you next time. ♪ ♪
