>> canadian prime minister justin trudeau making a surprise visit friday night to

mar-a-lago, meeting with president-elect trump. this follows trump's recent threats to impose tariffs on canadian products. we'll have a full report from west palm beach, florida just ahead. welcome to fox news live, i'm alicia acuna. griff: great to be with you. we have a jam packed show, i'm griff jenkins. fox confirmed that two members of the venezuelan gang tren de aragua in new york post reports was a drug trafficking and credit card scam bust. and great reporting, cb. what else can you tell us? >> well, the two confirmed tren de aragua members were both reportedly peddling in credit card fraud and selling heroin and weed. and telling that they crossed illegally into the country last year near the border in el paso, texas. now, they're back in federal custody facing deportation after being arrested this week

in the big apple. the new york post reports that the men were busted with 13 other suspected venezuelan gang members. for both men were wanted in aurora, colorado, for menacing for another video that shows they were breaking into an aurora, colorado apartment unit about 10 minutes before a fatal shooting at that complex. now, shortly after, the property management company doubled down on claims that the complex had been taken over by tren de aragua members. that alleged takeover was denied at the time by both local police and the mayor of aurora, colorado and local officers said at the time, none of the men in this video had been linked to any criminal organization. but now, i've confirmed two of the men in this widely

circulated video, are indeed tren de aragua members, arrested again here in new york city incoming border czar homan says these are the cases that are going to be prioritized during the trump administration. >> we're concentrating on public safety threats and national security threats. i can't figure out why any public official, mayor, governor, doesn't want public safety threats out of the community. if they don't want to do it, we are going to do it. >> a spokesman for the southern community in new york, failed to comment. and it's unclear what charges they'll face. griff: and we have aurora council woman coming up in just a while and we'll see what else she can add to this conversation. cb cotton live from new york. thank you. alicia: border patrol seized more than 25 pounds of fentanyl

in the san diego sector after they searched a car that was deemed suspicious. this comes weeks after 800,000 fentanyl pills were seized in arizona. christina coleman is here with the latest. hi, christina. >> yeah, disturbing here. border patrol has been busy interc intercepting huge apartments of narcotics, potentially enough to kill five million people. border patrol found it hidden in a sedan 75 miles north of the border, orange county. 60 miles south of los angeles and just within the last fiscal year alone, law enforcement in the border patrol's san diego sector seized approximately 17,40 pounds of cocaine, 98,000 pounds of meth at least 6500 pounds of fentanyl. several weeks early in nogales,

arizona, more than 800,000 fentanyl pills, some were hidden in the floor of the vehicle and others concealed in a folding chair. incoming border czar tom homan says the trump administration is going to crack down on rampant drug smuggling and border related issues putting lives in danger. >> when you overwhelm the border patrol, overrun for the last four years, that's when fentanyl comes in to quill kill a quarter million americans and sex trafficking is up. >> and president-elect trump writing in truth social, i'll be working on a campaign, explaining how bad it is, fentanyl is to use and how bad the horror of this drug is. in announcing in october, a task force seized over seven

million pills of fentanyl at a straight value of $12 million. staggering numbers, alicia, and very, very concerning. alicia: christine na coleman, thank you. griff: let's bring in the department of public safety, and i've spent time with you, from the fentanyl to the violent venezuelan gang members, to children, unaccompanied minors coming across and we'll play that video that they had of the 10-year-old. breaking news right now, we have the pictures of a 5-year-old that was being smuggled, yet again, in maverick county. what can you tell us, lt? >> well, griff, first off, you know, these unaccompanied children that capturing are becoming too common now. i received information and photos of a 5-year-old little

girl that was smuggled across the border in del rio yesterday. and one of those images there you can actually see the smugglers carrying the child across the rio grande river and picked up by a smuggler and transport today a hotel. our troopers and investigators were at the right place at the right time when they were able to capture the smugglers arriving at the hotel and able to intercept and rescue that child, 5-year-old. as we went through the investigator, we spoke with the mother, here in north carolina from mexico and she paid $8,000 to a criminal organization to get her child across the border. it highlights the inner workings between families and guardians and trying to get children across the border, having the coordination with criminal organizations in mexico and the united states and how it works between

smugglers and the united states and criminal smugglers in mexico. so, it's really devastating and sad story, chain of events that were seeing, and multiple with a 2-year-old and 10-year-old brought across the border by themselves. it's becoming too common. if it wasn't for our state troopers and investigators being there, no telling what could have happened to the child and where she would have ended up if we weren't there in time to rescue here and that's why many children are forced into labor or sex trafficking, that's the reality of the situation on the border. griff: a reality as heartbreaking as can be. you spend time and reside across from eagle pass, and you know it better than anybody. what can you tell us about the surge that appears to be happening and in what you know is happening on the mexican side? >> you know, as i've been reporting in southern mexico, we've had at least six caravans

that departed the state and the argument whether the caravan will ray arrive to a u.s.-mexico border and the answer is no because of an operation, and just as lt described, a lot of this is outsourced to criminal elements, organized crime for their crossing the migrants at remote areas and you're not going to see them arrive all at once like we did with the haitians, when they all arrived by the busload in acuna, across from del rio or by train, as we saw across from eagle pass. you'll see this slow arrival, scattered of migrants that are being moved by criminal elements and i think once trump takes office we'll see more of it. just when you thought that operation lonestar was very effective and that you know, reaching the end point, i think

it's going to be a lot more work for them, especially now that like i said that these families are outsourcing and also the corruption in mexico, there are outsourcing the criminal-- the illegal crossings to the criminal elements in mexico. griff: lt, you have your hands full there in del rio and eagle pass and yesterday in the last 24 hours, while numbers are lower, eagle pass is yet now back to ground zero for crossings, more than 450 in that del rio sector that enxanss eagle pass, it's more than san diego, more than tucson, more than el paso. lt, obviously, you've doubled resources and you're seeing it there, but what is the plan going forward if this surge is coming and how do you guys plan to handle it? >> well, you you brought up the stats and i was going to mention the stats of yesterday,

del rio is back number one, all of the sectors on the southwest border. and doing great reporting as far as describing the complexities of mexico and the united states and in terms of illegal immigration and smaller groups making the way to our southern border and consistent since the start of the year. how we tackle that, we want to be proactive, regardless of the numbers and fact that the numbers are down in texas over 86% i will credit that to our efforts. we're seeing smaller groups and accom accompanied -- unaccompanied minors and with those from other countries. and we've reinforced the border with razor wire and ability to have that as a state and we continue to make those efforts possible. as mentioned, we're not out of the clear yet and we could possibly see more of the

smaller groups across the border and more criminals trying to be captured as the desperation level eaches an all-time high because of the fact there is going to be a new administration. griff: and i want your take on how is this all playing in the mexican media on the southern side of our border with the reported phone call between trump and sheinbaum, and tom homan speaking how they're going hard and fast on day one at shutting down the border? >> yeah, one thing that i've always said about mexico, they're very duplicitous in their ways. domestically they'll say one thing and that's what we saw mex cal president claudia sheinbaum, domestically she read off the letter that she sent to president trump and then we saw the statement from president trump saying that the border was closed. so, there's this disparity of

messaging, but the reality on the ground in mexico, they also see an up-tick in violence you see the cartel fighting in sinaloa and also, that's pushing unaccompanied children and cia, special interest aliens through the state. and that's why i've been predicting we'll see more of it and the mexican media, the messaging like i said, it's quite different than what the u.s. media is reporting. one single phone call is not going to solve the situation. i think the battle is ahead of us. griff: the battle is ahead and we've be following it closely. thank you for your time and great insight. keep up the good work. >> thank you, griff. griff: alicia. alicia: and we will have much more next hour on the arrest of tren de aragua members with ties to aurora, colorado arrested in new york city with the council woman, first to

raise the alarm about tda members in aurora. so stay with us. >> canadian prime minister justin trudeau visiting with president-elect trump in mar-a-lago after trump has proposed sweeping tariffs on canada, mexico, and china. mark meredith is live in west palm beach, florida with more. >> good afternoon to you. president-elect trump has yet to comment publicly about his meeting, somewhat surprising one with canadian prime minister justin trudeau last night. and the meeting came only a few days after trump threatened canada and mexico with tariffs, about 25% if they were not able to beef up border security to stop the drugs reaching the united states. there was consensus where it was going to go with the relationship with the canadians. this morning as trudeau was leaving his airport hotel reporters had a chance to catch up with him.

take a listen. >> prime minister, was there a productive meeting with president-elect? >> it was an intexcellent conversation. >> excellent conversation. and who else was with trump and trudeau and we see trudeau and we see doug bpurgram. >> and a canadian plane came down and iphone app. this wasn't announced by team trump or by the canadians and the economists are closely watching. and the wall street journal writes, tariffs would drive up steel, aluminum in the u.s. and buys all of canada's oil. and we listened to how

lawmakers are reacting to this and some are saying that this is a negotiating tactic. and it was president biden who warned this could have an impact on two close u.s. allies and basically asking trump to reconsider, but as we've heard from trump's surrogates nothing is final until it actually happens. griff: a lot of v.i.p. visits to mar-a-lago. mark, thank you. alicia. alicia: so for more on how trump's tariff plans could impact the economy, let's bring in mitch roschelle. good to see you. i want to talk more of justin trudeau making his way to mar-a-lago with the possible threats of tariffs. is it possible we could be looking at a trade war. >> if it is, it's probably between the united states and

china and i think it's in north america's best interests, and that would be canada, united states and mexico, to, you know, rethink usmca from trump's private administration and work out something between the three nations that makes north america competitive with china and create had a trade alliance north and south to combat china, which is the biggest threat to trade on the planet. >> you know, so many americans went to the polls, they voted for the president-elect, based on the economy. they want prices to come down. and there's a lot of concern out there that prices could go up if this doesn't shake out properly the way that trump wants it to. so i'm going to put up a rolling list. at least 50 things from the three different countries that could be impacted and we could see price increases, should these tariffs continue the way that they are promised right now.

what should americans think about this. they're thinking of the family budgets and trying to figure out what they can do for themselves in the year to come? >> you know, i think that tariffs, if you look at them completely clinically, they are inflationary, but as many republicans have commented and i've made this comment repeatedly on the air, if tariffs are used as trump did in his prior administration as a negotiating tool and to bring the other trade partner to the table. then they're not inflationary, in fact, the better trade deal could be in fact, deflationary. i think there's shock and awe when you hear the word tariffs and something that could cause more inflation when the average american has been grappling with this for four years now, but i think you need a little faith that this administration has plans to try to lower prices over time and they're going to use tariffs as a tool to do that. >> one could argue it did get

the canadian prime minister literally to the table awfully quickly. so, president biden actually had something to say about all this on thanksgiving, take a listen. >> i hope he rethinks it. i think it's a counterproductive thing to do. you know, look, heard me say before that we have -- pacific ocean, atlantic ocean, two allies, mexico and canada, and the last thing to do on those relationships-- >> it sounds like he's saying that trump can't afford to actually do this. >> well, first of all, if tariffs are so bad i don't know why the biden administration didn't eliminate some tariffs that trump put in place. and you said it, trudeau jumped on a plane down to mar-a-lago

because of tariffs, and trump talked with the president of mexico. and trump used tariffs on mexico, because trump was concerned about the border crisis and got them on their southern border and our southern border. other countries that would be impacted by tariffs pay attention when the united states talks about using them. alicia: i want to pivot to holiday shopping because that's what so many people are doing it. cnbc has an interesting headline. >> trump voters could fuel holiday spending while harris supporters may pull back and finding that trump voters are essentially feeling more optimistic now about life ahead and harris voters not so much. what are your thoughts on that, your final thoughts here? >> i think that's very much true. i think that all americans are probably relieved that those

comp commercials nonstop off the air, and the elections on for 18 months are behind them. you're seeing that in car and home purchases. and i think that americans are relieved there's a path forward. alicia: okay. mitch, good to see you today. thank you so much. >> great to see you as well. griff: and president biden responding to swatting and bomb threats for some trump picks and some democrats. that's next. ♪far-xi-ga♪ ♪far-xi-ga♪ ask your doctor about farxiga.

>> cell phone video captured emergency crews battling a car fire overnight at the port of miami. nearby residents say they witnessed an explosion before flames and thick smoke. no injuries are reported and the cause is being investigated. griff. griff: two victims are expected to recover after they were caught in a black friday shootout at a mall in little rock, arkansas. police say it was an isolated incident beginning as an argument between two suspects. no arrests have been announced, but the city's mayor is vowing is hold the suspects accountable. alicia: president biden is in nantucket today where he said his administration is working with the fbi to address recent

swatting and bomb threats, targeting some of president-elect trump's picks and lucas is there with more. >> the biden family has been come to go nantucket for 40 years,s the last he will come as commander-in-chief. next year, ferry, but i digest. on a serious note, he addressed the threats to lawmakers and incoming trump officials. this is what he had to say around town. >> your reaction to the bomb threats and the swatting attempts, mr. president, this week, the bomb threats between lawmakers and swatting attempts against cabinet officials? (inaudible) >> now, alicia, i know you're

wondering what other presidents have come to nantucket. we have this graphic for you. first one president grant visited in 1874, what does the s stand for? it doesn't stand for anything. he visited here after the justice department. chester arthur in 1882, responsible for the greatest expansion of the u.s. navy in historiment and nine other presidents and four other presidents. fdr and jfk claimed to, but on dry land, and nautical miles. any way, the cease-fire deal between hezbollah and israel, biden when he leaves office in less than two months, that expires. yesterday when he was shopping here in nantucket eyebrows were raised when he walked out of the bookstore with a book on

100 year war. settler and resistance from the columbia emeritus from an ex-plo spokesman designated a terrorist organization in the united states. and he attended the christmas tree lighting ceremony. and no sign of the anti-israel protesters, led by the son of a famous author. president biden is leaving tonight because tomorrow works world aids day and an event at the white house and he also has to go on another trip, heading to africa visiting the nation of angola. >> i love the presidential trivia, lucas. the s stands for nothing. i didn't know that. lucas tomlinson, have a good one. griff: ukrainian president zelenskyy has a major change

from his previous stance that could lead to a peace deal with russia. we've got that next.

>> rebels in syria say they took control of the province. as syria announced an alepto for counter offensive. they say that dozens of soldiers have been killed or injured in fierce areas in aleppo in the past few days. alicia. alicia: in a big departure from his previous stance, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says he's willing to hand over area to russia if it means n.a.t.o. protection. >> he's been clearing in the

past, that ukraine will not cede territory to russia, but zelenskyy talks about the hot stage of the war. >> if we want to stop the hot stage of the war, we should take under n.a.t.o. umbrella the territory of ukraine that we have under our control. that's what we need to do fast and then ukraine can get back the other part of its territory diplomatically. >> he was adamant any proposal to join n.a.t.o. must first be extend today all parts of the country within its internationally recognized borders and here he explains why. >> you can't give invitation to just one part after country. why? because thus, you would recognize that ukraine is only that territory of ukraine and the other one is russia. >> and that would be against the country's law because the ukrainian constitution prohibits any occupied territory as russia.

zelenskyy's comments to sky news appears that he would be open to that which would include countries unrussian control. it's unclear whether n.a.t.o. would, and said that the need to resolve major sticking points so there wab no police taken where n.a.t.o.'s collective against would take affect and zelenskyy says he wants to work with president-elect trump to make sure that ukraine has its biggest supporters. trump has promised to end the war before inauguration day. >> madeleine rivera. griff: thank you. for more on the russia-ukraine war, the defense of dbemocracy and a friend of years, cliff, i hope you had a good thanksgiving. and the news didn't take a

break and we have several hot fronts. let's start with zelenskyy, maybe suggesting because he has been steadfast, i interviewed him back in july he's been steadfast not yielding any territory, recognizing any territory russia has gained. what do you make of the latest development? >> look, he doesn't want to yield territory of course, he understands that trump is coming in, that trump is a deal maker. what does a deal look like. i think that ukraine keeps its independence, but loses some territory. by the way, it was a war that russia fought against finland in 1939 the winter war, same thing, the finns were outnumbered and outgunned, finland lost 10% of the territory and retained independence. could be something like this. putin wants an off ramp if the road ahead of him is bumpy and everything could be making that bumpy, okay, i'll settle for

crimea, settle for some of dombas and then you've got to supply a lot of arms to ukraine, so they can deter russia from a third. griff: on the flip side zelenskyy needs at least a pr win in this so that his fell le countrymen and women feel they got something out of it in addition to just ending the war. >> if their independence is preserved they've gotten something out of it. it's not everything they would have wanted, not everything they deserve, but don't forget what-- i've been saying this for year. putin sees himself as the czar. and what does a czar try to do in bad times? restore the russian empire. what does that mean? that ukraine has to be ruled by the kremlin. if it's not ruled by the kremlin it's not a win by any means. if ukraine is independent, it helps to protect, poland,

lithuania, and maldova, in the american interest it might be best to freeze the conflict make sure that ukraine maintains independence and make it a porcupine hard for a predator to eat. griff: let's shift to this very delicate, an appears, between israel and hezbollah and we're seeing it challenged. former secretary of state mike pompeo had this to say about it. >> this cease-fire in the north is a biden administration's last ditch attempt to say, look, we did something, we solved a problem. frankly, a problem that they created the conditions for. sort of like the arsonist putting the fire out. make no mistake, the conditions haven't changed, they're trying to destroy israel and the united states of america. >> he's not wrong, on the other hand, the cease-fire is very controversial within israel. the israelis are arguing among themselves, they tend to do that anyhow. however, i would say it's the best deal that israel could

get, not the best deal have hezbollah, but the best from biden. why? because israel needs replenishment to continue, the fronts that are going on. that's held up and now i think they're in training again. that's important. they don't want biden to do what obama did, stab israel in the back at the u.n. security council. if that's prevented, that's good for israel. the israelis know they can't leave it to the lebanese armed forces to make sure that those are addressed. the israeli defense forces will have to do that and they would rather ask for forgiveness than permission to do that. and once trump comes in, i don't think he would mind if they take out an arms depot. griff: and lastly reporting today, aleppo, the fight in

syria, syrian opposition, rebels going after bashar assad in the capital city. >> tricky situation, assad, killing 600,000 of his own people and it seems he won the civil war thanks to tehran and thanks to the russians, thanks to hezbollah. all are weakened, which may be why the rebels have been able to take aleppo, but the rebels are not great rebels, these are jihadists backed by erdogan in turkey. what happens now, assad, we believe is going up asking putin, i need more help, and as you know, putin is stretched thin and hezbollah can't do much. and not clear irgc, the iranian revolutionary guard corps can. and it reminds something

kissinger once said, wouldn't it be nice-- something like this, wouldn't it be nice if both sides could lose? both sides could lose here with little assistance from a clever united states. griff: it's quite something when someone like you can put in context how it's intertwined between hezbollah and saving assad, and putin behind the car t curtain and had a lot to pack in and watch. thank you for being here this weekend. >> a pleasure. alicia: riot police clashed with demonstrators outside of the department in georgia, all over suspension in the european union. following the disputed victory in the parliamentary elections. griff: in the first law of its kind world-wide, a democratic can't bans social media for anyone under 16 years old. could that happen in the u.s.? that's next. christians and j ,

>> did you see this? australia's parliament on friday passed a social media ban for children underage 16 in a world first law. once it goes into effect the law will make platforms, including tik tok, instagram and x, liable for fines to the e equivalent of 33 million dollars. and meta said this, naturally we respect the laws by the australian parliament, however, concerned about the process which rushed it through and without properly failing to look at the evidence. what it does for the voices of young people, alicia. alicia: griff, more on this now and the impact of smart phones and what they have on children. let's bring in mark, smartphone for kids, advocate for kids to

wait until 8th. sorry about that, did i get that right? >> wait until 8th. alicia: great. want to get to more of that. quickly, i'd like to talk to something that actually the incoming surgeon general had to say, dr. jeanette said on what she thinks should be done with social media and teens, take a listen. >> in my opinion, i think that social media should be banned to all teenagers, to all young children because it's done nothing, but harm. alicia: so, i mean, mark, we're headed somewhere, right? the australian government has made a decision on this. she's calling for this. do you think that this can actually make a difference if that -- if this happens in the united states, in australia? >> i think it's a yes-and approach. the wait until 8th movement is about empowering parents to the latest smart phones for kids. the number one thing we hear

from parents, i don't want my kids to be left out. a communal action problem requires a communal action solution, and that's why wait until 8th join together parents saying i want to join with my community to wait until at least the end of 8th grade to get my child a smartphone. alicia: this has to do with the impact smartphones have on kids and these are the findings you've seen as well. can you tell us more on what parents can do to feel empowered to take this on and we'll show you a rolling list of some of the those. >> and jonathan spoke to the anxious generation, shone a light on consequences of smartphones on social media and our children, everything from sleep problems to addiction to the phone themselves, to all the challenges with social media including cyber bullying and all kinds of problems. so this holiday season as you're thinking about getting a smartphone for your child, we encourage you to wait and give your child actually the better gift, the gift of a phone-free

childhood and we think that has real power by joining together with others in your community. alicia: that's really tough for parents, especially this time of year because at the top of the his is a smartphone. they want to give that, that gift to the kids and so many of the other kids are getting those as well. how does a parent not give in to that pressure. it's like peer pressure via the other kid and the parents. >> and that's the wait until 8th pledge, to empower parents and kids to know they're not left out and we do want them to be left out, left out of the cyber bullying, left out of the negative mental health impacts of social media. and we also encourage parents to consider a range of smartphone alternatives. on our website wait until 8th. we encourage them to get smart watches, flip phones or an air tag can solve your challenges to stay in touch with your child. alicia: you know, axios has an

interesting piece on attention spans, how they've shortened when it comes to kids. i'll read a portion, studies have linked excessive screen time to problems focusing. and kids and teens have a world of entertainment at our fingertips and we can keep scrolling if something doesn't grab up. part of what this reporting pointed out kids now days don't have the patience for just a regular old cartoon. they have to be shorter, movies are too long, tv shows are too long and everything is shorter and we've all kind of actually been reprogrammed? >> that's part of the problem. smartphones are experience blockers and kids have partial attention challenges and has huge implications for education and even for socialization. so that's our big message, let kids be kids a little longer by delaying smartphones at least until end of 8th grade. we give them a chance to experience childhood phone-free

and distraction free and we think that has real power. >> well, thank you so much. this is all wonderful information to take in, especially a lot of parents are out there doing some shopping out there. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. griff: alicia, a post-thanksgiving arctic blast as show batters the northeast. how travel is impacting and maybe threatening an nfl sunday night game. your full forecast next.

traditional coffee sucks, despite my expression. no, that wasn't a question. my brow girl had traditional coffee this am

and then she crashed into my brow. did i mention this is permanent. don't get your eyebrows done if your eyebrow girl doesn't drink everyday dose. everyday dose coffee, functional coffee for all day energy without the jitters or crash. it's okay. it's gonna be. it looks good, right?
