"america reports." the weather across the u.s. is looking pretty calm with not too many major issues, but if you are in spots like minneapolis and chicago, you will need to

make sure to bundle up. >> anita: no doubt. lets kicks things off with jeff flock at the cherry hill mall in cherry hill, new jersey, where talking with shoppers about what they are looking to score. jeff, i want to ask you what you are looking to score, too? >> [laughs] may be an early departure. no, you know, i got everything i possibly can aid so i don't need anything at the mall which i used to come here when i was little kid believe it or not because i grew up in new jersey and this was the place to be. if you look around us, it is the place to be. people that thought wrecks and mortar list data, look at this number that national retail federation 65% of the people shopping will do it the old-fashioned way. bricks and mortar, not online. how much will they spend? well, they think almost $1 trillion by the time christmas holiday is over, $979 billion is the high end of

act 300% increase. numbers of people, 180 plus million and another record as he reported at the outset. does now even my friday attracting people that don't typically come out black friday. >> i do my online shopping mostly. so, i get out once in a while. >> you think by friday as of the day? >> i think so. they have the best deals. >> sam jane's, key chains. >> for you or christmas? >> are you happy to be here by friday? >> yes and no. >> that no part? >> the spending. >> yes, the spending, money a little bit tight in circles. big thing, i think interesting to report right now, thanksgiving him a little bit later this year. so, 26 days remain today the christmas shopping take a look, a lot of people out here.

if you thought bricks and mortar dying, there is a tradition coming out black friday deals and a lot of fun people, guys. >> anita: no doubt, black friday shopping in person. you said 65% of people are doing it in person, right? >> they are, yeah, exactly. online is growing obviously like electric cars. but it is still nothing like bricks and mortar. that is still lion share of the spending of black friday and all year long. >> anita: got to mix it up out there met with the shoppers. jeff flock lives in new jersey, thank you so much, jonathan. >> john: the biden administration allowing migrants to skip i.d. checks at the airport. that is according to new dhs report and obviously raising airport security concerns with busy holiday travel season underway. brooke taylor outside of dallas-fort worth international airport with more, broke, how

are other nonmigrant travelers feeling about this? >> china thing, you can imagine how frustrated they are hearing this and especially right now, the holiday season and people rushing to get to the airport early. have to show the i.d. and wait on the security when. migrants, illegal migrants don't have to show their ids and most of the time able to wait and special lines to get through security. a recent report dhs inspector general reveals illegal migrants don't need to show any i.d., passport. instead of, cbp 1 app as our document. they can choose to allow officers to take their picture. the cbp 1 app used by tens of thousands of migrants to seek asylum who allow us to self-report information. they inspector general report states that "if cbp and i.c.e. allow continued noncitizens with identity officers to not confirm

to enter the country, they may inadvertently increase national security risks." a person for dhs fired back at this report telling fox, it contains inaccurate statements and lacks important context. we spoke to their martial director who tells us this has been a concern for years. she is hopeful of these problems will soon be something of the past with the new administration. we have been fighting this for over three and a half years now because i'm headed, and people on a aircraft ra through an out way the aircraft but when they land and take another flight. i don't know it's americans are aware, this is not just a one-time thing. these illegals can fly on flights over and over and over again. >> and most of these flights are free flights that you, the taxpayer, are responsible for paying for, jonathan. >> jonathan: brooke taylor, thank you very much, anita.

>> anita: from on this ronald patel of former acting i.c.e. director and former border chief. thank you for coming end. such an important issue. we heard and brooke's report migrants are able to get on planes and fly around the country to the sink sanctuary city of their choice and texas is considering trying to stop tt by putting the migrants straight on passes and straight to the detention centers. how would this all work? >> thank you for inviting me. this is the trump effect, the trump tom homan effect in a situation with the state of texs instead of sitting migrants to sanctuary cities that got a lot of attention in the right way of the sense of pointing out to americans the risk that we were at and why sanctuary cities are destructive to the communities represented within them. but yeah, texas instead of blessing to the locations is going to work with i.c.e. logistically and we have these

people released from state custody or found at the border by personnel. instead of sending them to the cities, they will send them to did cinch go make detention centers that i.c.e. contracts with. magana, this is what you have when you have cooperation in states like arizona and texas am for trying to protect their own. this is an opportunity now with a new administration coming in with a new set of standards for security at the border, working with the states, and texas is in this fight for the better of four years. i, 41, grateful of this is what is going to happen going forward. >> anita: that will be a change in the way things are done and present electronic talking about using the military to carry out deportations. buddies going to have to have the cooperation of local officials, local sheriffs, local police chiefs.

talk to me about a federal program called 287g, which gives sheriffs and other local officials i.c.e.-level powers. will we see that happening as well? >> and expansion of 287g will help the communities which initiated and will help the federal government on that on the logistics side to find those in custody especially that are also in the country illegally. 287g strict regime for men and women on the front line of local law enforcement and an agreement with i.c.e. so when they encounter people, they can do checks where they are from hotel immigration status, whether deported or not. they can do preliminary work to identify these people and get them ready to be put on a path for removal. once adjudicated in state and local case and turned over seamlessly to i.c.e. to be deported. this is a program that has been around for decades, but there are counties and states

participating in the. expanding it in the round and we had the last worst migration event in the last four years we have ever seen in the history of the country. having more 287g trained law enforcement personnel at the local level will help i.c.e. and help dhs accomplish the mission of deporting these criminals that are all over the country and help secure the border into way that is meaningful, especially the people who commit a crime. >> anita: a want to turn your attention to these images that caught everybody's attention the other day. 18-year-old boy from el salvador who made his way across the border, he was with coyotes that left him to fend for himself. he came across the border patrol agent and he was crying, lost and told he was looking for his parents already in the u.s. let's take a listen to some of that sound. [speaking another language]

>> anita: and janelle, ron, that is so heartbreaking to see that. i imagine what you are hoping to put an end to, is that right? >> absolutely, these kids don't come for this kind of misery. this is an example of feckless policies at this administration, encouraging parents to send their kids alone in the hands of smugglers to leave them behind the border if they get sick or hurt. this kid was obviously abandoned by a smuggler who cares little to nothing about his livelihood. i'm glad that frontline found him and we are compassionate enough to take him into custody and on the right path to be reunited with his parents. we have to fix the border. this is the problem, 500,000 children came to the border all by themselves during the biden administration. they are all of the country. we know they have been taken

advantage of in the labor context being traffic and sex trafficking in this little boy is an example of that. it shows people the callousness of smugglers and criminals and cartels that just want to take advantage of those at the border. it shows that compassion at the front line personnel. >> anita: it does. >> took comfort in the situation. >> anita: an awful situation but you are right it shows the compassion of officials on the border. ron patel at thank you for coming in today and happy holidays to you. >> happy holidays to you. >> anita: thank you. >> jonathan: so difficult when you see the pictures at the little kids like that, it is awful. it is true. it is obviously a huge toll on the kids but also on the border patrol agents who have deceived those scenes over and over and over again as well. >> anita: 529,000 miners came across the border during the biden administration. a lot of people are asking, where are they all and why are they missing question xp when it

will be extraordinary january 2h the border crisis but also the s a rush to try to get when president trump takes over or whether it all diminishes quickly we shall see. san jose transgender university as the women's volleyball team heads to the championship, but is the winning streak fair? plus this? >> the timing is perfect. >> do you have a scar on your ear? >> right there might. it like some of the wrestlers of the ufc fighters. >> anita: president-elect trump's media strategy appearances on shows like joe rogan's podcast paid off big time election day. but can democrats own up to their mistakes? julian epstein is here to talk about what democrats need to do if they want to bounce back.

♪ ♪ >> anita: san jose state university women's volleyball team automatically moving to a tournament finals after another team elected to forfeit their match over san jose's der policy. senior national correspondent william la jeunesse has the story, william. anita this is why it is a big deal if san jose state wins the tournament they go to louisville next month. the problem is, kentucky prohibits biological men and women sports and here is a question of whether blair fleming, the star outside would be allowed to play. fleming according to court filing is a biological naval. now, she was record-setting and vp in virginia and went to coastal carolina before

transferring to san jose before 6'1" hitter conference honorable mention and half of the make san jose by forfeit and boise state, wyoming southern utah. they refused to play them in a dozen players file against the conference saying violated title ix rights protecting opportunity, fairness and safety by allowing fleming to play. a biden appointed judge rejected the argument saying suspend and fleming would risk confusion and prejudice at a minimum to san jose state. an appellate judge affirmed that ruling. now, as for the latest, boise state athletic director said this, "they are player should not have to forgo the opportunity waiting for a more thoughtful and better system tht serves all athletes. 24 states ban transgender male athletes and the sports. the biden administration oppose those bands and men expect trump to undo those rules.

as to the games no sales, colorado state, san diego state they split with colorado, they lose twice to san diego but pretty good team there until they actually iowa, big ten team and won hawkeye invitational. the question is will kentucky allow them to play if, indeed, they get that far? >> anita: when what they know and when will the judge make the decision? >> they first have to beat the winner of colorado state san diego state. then, i think the only team in question, can she play in the louisville? >> jonathan: the teams that have forfeited, what are they saying is the reason, a moral objection or actual physical concerns that they are siding? >> most of what i have heard from the players and the statements given appear on air multiple times is an issue of fairness if we go down this road any further women will be excluded from female sports with the opportunities and scholarship argument more than what i have heard of getting

smacked in the face. >> jonathan: really interesting, thank you, william. democrats scratching their heads to figure out what went wrong with president-elect trump and republicans across the board gaining so much ground in the election? john fetterman telling "the new york times," he wants democrats to stop freaking out. he went on to add his party cannot underestimate the poll thinkers like joe rogan have on young voters. here to wait and julian epstein the founder and ceo the center center for industrial progress. great to see you a hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving. you have would just weren't reag the mood of the nation. so what should they read now? how should they listen to you and get it right in four years' time? >> well, thank you jonathan, thank you for having me on. yes, you are correct, we have

spoken many times in the last year an a or to what the democrats are doing wrong and sort of talking about these things and have their own candidate. and the policies. all of those things are right and the democrats have seen better candidates and they need to move to the center on economic and cultural policies. my point is there is a deeper, cultural problem with the left and democratic party. a party of openness and moral condescension. your previous segment where you are talking about immigration but what the left has done is said to people if you disagree with us on open borders, then you are a bad person. what that has done is it has caused the left to shut its ears and to stop listening to people. it has made it a lot dumber. it makes them feel good among cells in a cheap social status among fellow progressives, bennett made them a lot more attuned out what the country is saying and made them ineffective. a big reason i think for the loss. the democrats have to do is cast

away the sort of culture of moral condescension and talking down to people and start listening. we talked about this with all of the expression of the use of the word fascism and end of democracy and people turned out to and they don't leave it and they don't like the moral condescension. >> jonathan: i wonder if that is what you think john fetterman might beginning at. in his quote in "the new york times," the interview with "the new york times" he said this, "buckle up and pack a lunch because for years at this. if you have a choice to freak out along the hour, that is your right but i will not. if you freak out on everything, you lose any kind of relevance." you think a lot of democrats have been doing since election day freaking out and do they need as john fetterman says, to stop doing it? >> i do think they need to stop freaking out. the writing has been on the walls as we have discussed many times with not just the policy go to the policy on the economy

and all of the cultural issues and even things like the green new deal has been out of step with where the voters were. they did not listen to all the data that showed that. as i said go to the candidates were wrong, and i think the democrats are going to have to do things like going on joe rogan's podcast. the fact that you had a few woke staffers saying it would offend fellow progressives is lunacy. it is exactly the type of place you ought to be going. if you look at why working-class voters and particularly men have shifted republican, it's -- you can look at immigration and unfair trade, and you can see how working-class voters and people that work with their hands have been disadvantaged and that sort of neoliberal consensus over the last few decades and why there is such a rebellion against it. and again, what the progressive left does is says, you are a bad person. that covers up for their luxury

beliefs. the immigration helps the elites a great deal by providing them a low-cost servant class. and allows him to shut down the conversation by saying how dare you question me because you are bad person if you wish me. a way of achieving social status in faculty lounges. all of these things are an echo chamber and the elite class that very stupid and very insulated and out of touch with the concerns have particularly working-class men. they shifted away from the democratic party. it is not helping but a cultural problem is the point i am making. >> jonathan: all right, great to see as always and i would recommend to go to "the new york post" website and check out your op-ed, which is all about the democrats remaining out of touch. great to see you and thank you for being here. >> jonathan, thank you for having me. >> jonathan: anita. >> anita: russian president vladimir put in speaking out on president-elect trump, but could we see an escalation in ukraine before the new admission takes

over? former moscow cia chief dan hoffman weighs in coming up. >> jonathan: plus, israel and hezbollah pointing fingers at each other for violating the cease-fire in the region. speak of the cease-fire in the north is the biden administration's last ditch attempt to say look, we did somd solve the problem, frank late, a problem they created the ping ♪ ♪ng you can do to... ♪ ( slow. it. down.) ♪ ♪ ( get it goin' slower.)♪ ask your doctor about izervay. ♪ (i. zer. vay.) ♪ ♪ ( gets ga goin' slower.) ♪ izervay is an eye injection. don't take it if you have an infection or active swelling in or around your eye. izervay can cause eye infection, retinal detachment, or increased risk of wet amd. izervay may temporarily increase eye pressure.

concerns both sides throwing violation accusations at each other. yesterday the idf said fired at lebanon after responding activity at a weapons facility and saw vehicles arriving in several areas they claim breach the terms of the cease-fire deal. as part of the deal, if we reiterate, israel to withdraw troops in 60 days with increased presence from lebanese army and u.n. troops monitoring force in the country's south. has blessed the way to keep fighters out of an area mostly between lebanon's border between israel and the tiny. despite warnings, thousands of residents, they have started already to return home, many of them finding neighborhoods destroyed and completely leveled, especially eastern and southern lebanon as part of beirut. 1.2 million people have been displaced in total. >> i came home, and i found that as you can see, everything is

destroyed, everything is destroyed. the house and the things, as you can see, everything is lost. >> meanwhile, we are not any closer to a cease-fire deal between israel and hamas. israel's military said palestinian open fire on a bus in the west bank. at least eight people they claimed were injured there. israel on on gaza and palestinians reported that the. the medics say many died in nazareth refugee camp in central gaza and some 19 bodies have been recovered so far a claim. more people died in further strikes in northern and southern gaza as well. back here in london, they are pro-palestine counterprotests that will be happening this weekend so keep an eye on those as well, jonathan. >> jonathan: stephanie, thank you so much. i am sure you will, anita. >> anita: russian

president vladimir put in said president trump is intelligent and experienced while speaking to reporters. he seemed to leap the door open for talks but yesterday russia attacks ukraine's infrastructure and warning more could come. could we see an escalation from both sides before trump takes office? let's bring it dan hoffman, former cia in moscow and fox news contributor. dan, great to have you in on this today. what you make of this flattery coming from putin of donald trump? he also said he thought trump acted like a real man during the assassination attempt in july. what is with the flattery here? >> yeah, well, vladimir payton served in kgb and director of the federal security service fsp and so vladimir putin is about cloak and dagger espionage and trying to flatter president-elect trump sure and maybe gain if he thinks at least

an upper hand in whatever negotiations may take place at some point. but it is worth remembering the kgb and its successor intelligent services regarded the united states as the main enemy. and putin is at war with democracy. everything for liberty, freedom, democracy and everything enshrined in the consultation bill of rights, that is what scares up vladimir putin the most. we are his enemy. what is good for russia is not good for us. that is how vladimir putin will proceed in whatever resolution we seek from the war in ukraine. >> anita: trump has repeatedly said he wants to stop the war and stop the killing. to that putin has had, he doesn't know what will happen, but he is ready to resume talks. do you think he really is? >> there is no indication based on russia's indiscriminate targeting of civilians that he wants to end that conflict. remember, putin's bowl with a

launch on ukraine is to topple the government and he had and install kremlin puppet regime te and destroy ukraine's chances for linking up with the last economic lay coaches strategically and militarily. puzzles haven't changed for sure. it is also worth emphasizing that wars and macklin either one side wins or both sides are too exhausted to fight. the to get to a resolution is for ukraine to step up their attacks on russia and demonstrate to putin there is no reason to carry on the war that putin began unprovoked and barbaric as it is. >> anita: i want you to take a listen to something former cia director mike pompeo said everyone is trying to sort of gain a foothold before trump gets into office. take a listen to this. >> i think both leaders president zelenskyy and v8 are both trying to create the conditions where they have more

leverage as these negotiations began as the conversation frankly has already started president biden irrelevant to the conflict today. it is already president-elect and former president trump driving the process there in europe. it is about to gain leverage and began a better position when the conversations began how to create peace there. >> anita: okay, dan, thoughts on that! >> no, i think that is absolutely true. that is at the heart why vladimir putin has a north korean and yemeni troops apparently fighting on russia with the russian army. he wants to demonstrate he has great leverage. not that the troops will matter much technically, but putin wants to demonstrate to the west and the united states his allies, llama disrupted trade in the red sea and north korea have very belligerent nuclear threats against us with ballistic missile capability to target our homeland. and putin wants to gain leverage and secretary pompeo's right to get the best deal they can live

potential to rearm in the interim if they decide to attack ukraine again. the key for president-elect trump is to make a good deal and not allow ukraine to be his kabul so he doesn't have to carry on dealing with this throughout his administration. >> anita: yeah, no joke there which i'm sure he wants to bring an end to this. dan hoffman, thank you so much for that and we really appreciate it, jonathan. >> jonathan: thanks, anita the menendez brothers who brutally murdered their parents in 1989 have to wait until next year to find out if they might get released from prison after more than 30 years behind bars. will of the recent buzz around their case be their ticket to freedom and should it be? los angeles assistant district attorney, john lewin weighs in next. >> anita: plus, walk around a real christmas tree this year? christmas tree farms around the country will help you bring the outdoors inside but for a price.

thank you for being here. i hope you had a great thanksgiving. there has been a lot of attention on this because of the netflix shows and because of tiktok campaign to get the menendez brothers free. you told me a month ago, there is no chance they will be home for thanksgiving. a lot of supporters helped. and this is still a january 30 resentencing here and are we talking about inevitability and we are just postponing their inevitable freedom? or is there a real chance they don't get freed? >> we are not at all talking about any inevitability, jonathan. thank you for having me on. obviously, my comments are my own comments and do not reflect the opinions have los angeles county district's office or george gascon, who thankfully has approximately one day left. so let me just start with that. one of the issues that is most important about this is that the process matters. the process in this case was

just abysmal. george gascon, as everybody knows, head up or absolutely or absolutely humiliating defeat, which impact, he did suffer. in order to try to improve his chances were more likely help his post-va career, he decided to in essence bringing up this menendez case to see if he could generate some republics wait for himself because he didn't have any money. he then had a former public defender. this woman, nancy, head of the resentencing unit. and now approximately a year later, she has a head of the d.a. resentencing unit and brought over and they filed what they called a brief statement of fact. it should have been called cherry-pick statement of facts because it eliminated and did not include all kinds of damaging facts that were omitted, which basically demonstrates premeditation involved in the murder,

et cetera. what is important here is the process. the right now is that the judge has asked for more time. there was a hearing last week and quite disturbingly, kathy katie, is the lawyer representing the menendez brother comes into core as she is required to. she is allowed to be present. even though the d.a. arrange for her to be there, they go into a long chambers conference with mark era goes, the defense lawyer and i was just for the family for something like 45 mis without kathy katie or her clie. as a result, i don't know what that means, but here is what i do know the new d.a. anthony hoffman is a thoughtful individual, experience individual, and he said he will go through here until will take it a look at all the information and he will make a decision that is based on the facts and the law and not on politics as well

as with george gascon. >> jonathan: they are a little tight on time here, but i have always been fascinated by the fact that you don't think that these two rather should even be around now to have the possibility of parole or possibility of release. you think they should have the death penalty. >> well, listen, when you're looking at the facts that came out in trial and you look at what happens in similar cases, that is my personal opinion. that is my opinion as a prosecutor. there are certainly individuals who differ. in fact, the governor at this point, we don't have the death penalty in california anymore. this is as heinous of a crime that you will ever find periods feeling really fascinating. john, what is your prediction ultimately? nathan the incoming va will look at this one more time in the judge wants more time to look at it but are we going to see the
