and what about our lives and our safety and what about as american citizens, what about us? this is where the br the biden administration has failed us all. spewing tren de aragua at catching the attention of federal authorities as local ofs sound the alarm over violent venezuelan gang's growing threat. hello, when i am jonathan hunt and this. >> anita: i'm anita vogel and jonathan good to be with you today. spilling john roberts and sandra smith is off and this is "america reports." multiple suspected gang members on outstanding warrants in tennessee. that is 1 of 16 states where the gang set up shop according to dhs report. we have team fox coverage, and victor avila is on tech with analysis. >> anita: cb cotton with presence in new york city, but first we go live to senior correspondent mike tobin in new york city. mike or maybe we are going to cb

cotton, no, back to mike. might, want to ask you how a chicago tackling this direct? >> they sent out an alert and what you can tell from baylor, anita, tren de aragua increasing the numbers to the point law enforcement and even sanctuary city like chicago fused the gang as a threat. the rank and file chicago police over the summer. they entail generating the alert appears to start with immigrations and customs important but warns officers members of tren de aragua a green light to fire upon or attacked law enforcement personnel in denver, colorado. but in chicago, officer she is to use caution and technical awareness for someone with tda affiliation. that think tank america first legal found as part of diovan law enforcement documents. >> this just shows that the level of brazenness that these game members have and don't to

find a law enforcement authorities in chicago police officers definitely need to be be careful with visible gang markings or other identifiers to link them to this dangerous gang. >> started in venezuela prison, gang popped up 16 states texas, california, illinois via florida. i.c.e. said predictable result of chaos at the border. >> this is a symptom of feckless biden-harris policies at the border that encouraged everyone from the third world including this gang to come during the presidency of joe biden because they knew they would be released into the united states. every city and town in america. >> early last week, we reported 30 times over the last two years with and covers less chicago place a connection to tren de aragua noted in the police report, anita. >> anita: mike tobin confirming and chicago for us, might go to think of so much for

that, i appreciate it. meanwhile, back in new york city fox confirmed two men with reported tren de aragua ties arrested in a major drug bust. cb cotton lived in new york city with the details on that, heiko. they confirmed that the two were arrested this week here in new york city during an ongoing homeland security investigation. this was a major drug trafficking and credit card scandal according to "the new york post" which says, "they are two at 15 suspected venezuelan gang members picked up early wednesday morning after a raid in the bronx. the outlet says months long investigation revealed the group's drug ring in the city selling heroin, fake weed and committing credit card fraud and violence. at these three are a semiautomatic rifles, to cope his pistols and ammo found

during the past. they both had active warrants in aurora, colorado, on felony charges of first-degree burglary and menacing with a firearm for another incident. colorado this fall showing and other men breaking into aurora, colorado, apartment unit about 10 minutes before fatal shooting at the apartment complex. a local report says the men knocked on two apartments and threatened residents. and other local reports that apartment management said that apartment complex has been taken over by that venezuela and gang tren de aragua and had a payment stolen. that alleged takeover has been denied by both local police and the mayor of aurora, colorado. but now "the new york post" reports from its source is the two man again captured in the viral video are, in the, tda members arrested as part of the drug bust here in new york city. anita. >> anita: that is scary.

cb cotton lived in new york city, thank you. jonathan. >> jonathan: joining us, before a retired special agent with i.c.e. and his partner killed by members of a drug cartel. victor, great to have you with us today. we hear about the numbers here. they are not huge in terms of the sheer number of tren de aragua members in the country. that they are menace seems outsized. how do we deal with it? >> you are right, may be talking sufficient amount of numbers here, but i will tell you what we are dealing with, high level of sophistication. i'm not trying to call them a gang anymore because tren de aragua is not a typical gang that more of a cartel, which means highly sophisticated. they have the backing of the medela regime from venezuela. but the mind sources are telling me the direct link between iran,

has blessed with heavy, heavy extreme ties to venezuela and tied to this organization. you can tell the type of crimes not just drug trafficking, but the money laundering with violent crimes, sex trafficking and many others. tobit is a bigger picture that we have to look at when it comes to foreign policy and ties to it. just be one interesting, i have not heard the accusation before. but we will certainly look into it. what strikes me odd the last 18 months or so, victor, is a lot of people have been sounding the alarm on this. i talked to just a local businessman, and he has an emigrant intel from columbia. we did it on a fox show about 18 months ago. he said these are not your grannies immigrants coming across the border and he is talking specifically those coming from venezuela. japan is a local businessman sounding the alarm. people all the way up the chain

politically sounding the alarm. why wasn't anything done? >> well, we know why it wasn't done because the biden administration allowed this to happen. most of these individuals, by the way, walk and enter in themselves and to work patrolled without proper vetting. i agree with this assessment, these are different migrants and different illegals we are encountering. we are dealing with a cultural war, if you will, even when i talked to a lot of individuals y are coming with a different agenda within an assignment, if you will. these are not individuals who want to be americans. they are here to do better and get a job for their families. that is not there because. their causes to wreak havoc and really do what they have been doing in the u.s. and take over these apartment complexes and extortion and many of the crimes they are committing. i want people to understand it is not a big surprise to me because they heads, for example,

they put on u.s. law enforcement. they come from different mentality from this country. knowing, by the way, they have no regard for human life, especially when it comes to law enforcement lives. that is the way they were trained and brought up. >> jonathan: let me jump and briefly, victor. what is the answer here? is it as simple as we know who these people are? let's go round them up and get them out of the country. is it that simple? >> yes. it is a matter of application. it is a matter of law enforcement. we can find these guys. we can find them and trap them down and out only remove them but some of the individuals have to be incarcerated for the crimes they have committed. and then deported to. the question about not being able to be deported to venezuela, i know president trump will deal with that but a lot of these can go around the swimming countries which they came from columbia, peru and others around

venezuela. >> jonathan: thank you for your service and great to have you with us today. thank you so much, server, anita. anita. >> anita: major winter storm is panting the northeast. we will get a winter weather tech as millions are set to travel. >> jonathan: plus democratic senator, john fetterman, billing against his own party and why he is telling them to "grab a grab" samantha dreyfus and juan williams racks next. >> democrats have been refusing to look inward. do you them blame everyone but the country they blame, the media, elon musk and they refuse to acknowledge that they had a terrible canada in a terrible message and a terrible strategy.

nothing in the area around buffalo. that will likely change tomorrow. whether we have a snow band and a 49's game sunday night remains to be seen. you can imagine travel is not recommended. i-90 impacted around new york all the way to cleveland. that will be the case based on where the band is residing through monday. keep that in mind traveling i-90 and i-81 through syracuse. and it could get as much as 5 feet of snow. the snowfall right now is at least 2 inches an hour. we are hoping to get saunders snow but it is unstable, john. lightning and thunder at any moment or two we haven't had it so far and that would be really, really exciting and dynamic. in the meantime though, this will be a problem for travelers in this area southwest new york north of syracuse and the areas cleveland and erie where we are

here also and check chautauqua county and superior michigan. have a cold with record warm lakes and water temperatures running in the low 50s here in new york state. that is almost unheard of as we approach the first day of december in the first day of meteorological winter. enjoy it while you can vicariously on television fox news, jonathan. >> jonathan: mike, only you can stand there enjoying it and be excited about lightning coming in after the snow. you are far braver and tougher man and i will ever be as are the called legs, might, stay safe and thank you so much, anita. >> anita: start of my erie not too far from there. president-elect trump rolls out policy agenda and white house growing weary. one "new york times" reporter "everybody is exhausted as the press braces for a second trump

term. fox news senior political analyst, wanda williams and samantha dreyfus, former white house bush staff. thank you for coming in on this pair to the press corps ro round 2 with president-elect trump and already exhausted. listen to this quote from "new york times" reporter baker. anyone who went through it last time remembers how nonstop it was. it ends up all-consuming and taking over your life. it wears you down. okay, juan, let me ask you about that. no doubt it is a busy schedule with president trump but also under president biden, you know, often time the white house was called 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. and people got used to an easier schedule. >> well, it might be. anita i think about covering president-elect trump as kind of nonstop thanksgiving day feast.

it just doesn't stop. it is incredible. he has 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m. tweets that go out and you have to wake up and cover that. the part that always strikes me is, just yesterday, and ordinary thanksgiving day message from the president-elect. you would think that is no news. instead he goes after the radical left lunatics and it is a new story. right? that is president-elect trump. it is like a reality tv show. julie never stops. he always has something to say. and not only with the presti keeps them busy but it attacks incoming press secretary, karoline leavitt will push mainstream reporters like "new york times" out of the white house press room and bring in people who are podcasters and have different circle of influence more in line with president trump. >> anita: they may shuffle the deck merrimack in the white house briefing room. that will be interesting. samantha, the press corps in

general is seasoned now when dealing with president trump. how do you think they will approach at this time around? no doubt they will be working longer hours. >> it doesn't seem like they have changed much since the first approach and the first go around, which is a relentless pursuit not of the truth but of donald trump. if they are exhausted, i think the american people, anita so sick of the media acting like doing exhausting public surface to make service reading hippie says on donald trump and his staff all day, writing pieces missing context and in many cases proven to be totally false. and this press corps needs to poke my focus on projective journalists pursuing the truth and not at the best one to get donald trump. i think that is why you see trump and his staff look to shake up the briefing room and bring in folks millions of listeners and viewers not so hostile to them. >> anita: well, you know, when it comes to the democratic party, changing the

topic here, still trying to figure out what happen election day, i want to take a listen to senator john fetterman from pennsylvania as he gets his thoughts. let's listen to that. >> there is a deeper cultural problem with the left and the democratic party. a party of openness and moral condescension. they have said to people if you disagree with us on open borders, then you are a bad person. but that has done is it has cost the left to shut its ears into stop listening to people and help achieve social status among fellow progressives. but it has made them a lot more attuned out to what the country is saying and made them ineffective. >> anita: i apologize that was julian epstein and not senator john fetterman. juan, let's deal with what he is saying. as they are in a truth in what he is saying and are democrats thinking about the messages going out to the base? >> well, right now i think the

party the democratic party is disappointing and asperity. they don't have a lot of energy. from the democratic perspective, but is not about clutching your pearls and worrying. it is fire. they look at the prospect of tariffs driving up prices, mass deportation, the cabinet nominees, one of whom pushed out over a sex scandal. my god, they don't know what to do. julian's point is very much to be taken to heart, which is you have to be doing more than despairing. we have to start getting active and think about how to reach out to american voters effectively for the 2 2026 midterms. because right now with president-elect trump and office, the potential there is for the democrats to walk away and never be a factor again. >> anita: well, quick thought on that, samantha appeared to than i want to listen to senator john fetterman.

>> speak at the party lost a lot of credibig trump is a threat to my chrissyd a dictator instead of having a policy agenda that appealed to voters when voters were saying, we are not happy how the last four years have gone. with democrats want to win and 2026-2028, they have to regroup on the policy and not be pulled into the progressive leftists who are too focused on identity politics and not offending work with republicans, frankly, the next couple of years to solve these problems. >> anita: on that note, let's listen to senator john fetterman. he has advice for democrats out there make. take a listen to this. >> sorry, this is what i'm going to read what he says, he says we are not even at thanksgiving -- sorry about that, we are not at thanksgiving and democrats can't stop losing their minds every 1. we really need to pace ourselves

and realize this is how elections goes to mexico. at least the next two years, they have the opportunity to write the narrative and drive the narrative. if you freak out on anything you lose relevance. juan, day you think there is truth and that and should democrats listen to him? >> yeah, you not only have to listen but i think you can learn. obviously, we had success with the voters in this election. he did so with a populist message. there is lots of reaching out -- we are talking about the press, anita, reaching out to unorthodox platforms that have impact and really appeal to young, white man. democrats have to do a better child with a populist message to the blue-collar white men in america. >> anita: quick thought just to wrap it up for us, samantha. did you ever think you would hear that message from john fetterman? and do you agree with him? >> it is definitely surprising

and he has the voice of reason in the democratic party. i really appreciate it. he has right, they need to reset, freaking out so to speak is not productive and they need to take the policy agenda that appeals to the america voters and go forward. >> anita: we will see what happens but one thing for sure, a busy four years i had one williams and samantha dreyfus, thank you for coming in today. >> thank you. >> jonathan: great conversation president-elect trump and the president of mexico in the meantime don't seem to be on the same page, surprise there coach about trump's tariffs plan. phil flynn joins us next

lives in america. >> on thursday mexico's president spoke back and forth and says in her phone call with trump, tariffs never came up and trade work could be averted. she double down to safe trade war can be stopped. trump called the conversation productive. the canadians watching the developments quite closely and reports canadians considering tariffs if hegoes through with d even talking about tariffs is a bad thing. >> these kind of tariffs is deeply harmful to our economy. >> now, trump could change his mind as he gets closer to taking office. we will look to see if he drops anymore hands down here at mar-a-lago. at this point how, we expect him to post on social media at his golf club right now end. anita. speed till we know you will bring us the latest mark meredith in florida, good to see you, jonathan. anita phil flamm fox business

contributor is with us now, philip on the question of tariffs, is this barely as you see part of that out of the deal if you like? is it negotiating point or is this a very real possibility we can go up to 25% tariffs? >> i think it is the art of the tariffs, it really is. it is not like the president is asking these country to cure cancer to avoid the tariffs. they are only asking them to go back to where the country was when he was last in office, right? if you look at the borders, they have opened up like crazy. we have fentanyl coming over the borders. i think this is a signal to the countries, we are serious about this! do your job! defend your borders and do not allow a crime to infest our country. >> jonathan: but phil, if you draw that line in the sand as president-elect, then if mexico doesn't live up to what he,

president-elect trump requesting of them you have to go through with the tariffs. we look at the u.s.-mexico trade relationship and we can put on the screen $480 billion in total, 15% of total u.s. import. i know it is a hypothetical, but if president-elect trump van president trump in any position where he has to draw the line in the sand, what does that do for those of us going to the store to buy maxima those imports from mexico? >> it would be painful, and prices would be higher. supplies have what we want or goods may be in short supply. but one that flip side, mexico will fill it a lot worse, right? if we get into a trade war, the united states would win but it would be a matter of time. if i am the president of mexico, i will not get into that war. i can avoid it. round up the usual suspects and put some people on the border.

turn back the terrorist rushing here to get here before inauguration day. i think they can do that. the same thing with canada, we heard from justin trudeau and taking steps to avoid this. even china, like i say, they kknow where the fentanyl factories are. slow it down and slow the flow. like i say, this is what was happening when trump and office last time and let's go back-to-back. this can all be avoided. >> jonathan: but phil, mexico and canada are one thing. you would be hard-pressed to find anybody who thinks the u.s. best interest are china's best interest in their view. what is in it for them in shutting down those fentanyl factories? don't they like the idea that they are importing death and chaos into the united states? >> of course they do, right? but they have done it more so in the last couple of years when nobody called them out on it,

right? listen, end of the last administration when trump pressured them, they did shut down some of it, right quick mike with a trade war with had a trade were under trump 1 and the agricultural community took it on the chance that we took progn china is not an economic condition back man but a much weaker position and i don't like tariffs but if we got into a trade war, china would have to cry uncle because economy is in a mask right now and they can afford to get into a trade war right now. we are coming from position of strength if we indeed have to get into a trade war with china. >> jonathan: phil, fascinating to talk to you phil for an, anita. >> thank you sir. >> wow, i don't know what to say i am speechless right now. you know, my family had it rough and i had it wrapped before the
