resistance to those. they are like the absolute top class marines. there is no way cancer cells can fight them. >> this could help patients whose cancers have become resistant to standard therapys. you don't want to infect cancer patients with covid because they are at higher risk for complications, researchers developed drugs to duplicate the cancer fighting effects without the illness. results published in the journal of clinical investigation the treatments were effective against multiple types of cancer in human tissue and animal models, lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer and melanoma. >> mike: fascinating study. thank you so much. >> shannon: u.s. marine veteran daniel penny arriving moments ago on day four of jury deliberations, he is facing up to 15 years in prison for the

death of jordan neely on a new york city subway. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm shannon bream and live at the reagan library for the special defense forum. >> mike: i'm mike emmanuel. bill hemmer and dana perino were off today. no verdict after three days of deliberations, the jury looked at key pieces of evidence including testimony from the medical examiner. definitions of recklessness and negligence and key videos recorded by witnesses and police. >> shannon: paul mauro hazarded a guess what the jury could be thinking about now. >> if they decided on the top charge, the way they would start looking at this, then if they are still going and already decided on the top charge it argues the top charge would be not guilty because if they found guilty on the top charge it would import the lower charge.
7:02 am
>> mike: cb cotton is at the courthouse in lower manhattan. >> jurors appear to be working hard to reach a consensus. they asked the judge to rehead his instructions defining recklessness and negligence. they had a copy to refer to as they deliberate. as you mentioned, they also asked to review a piece of video evidence, specifically the one-minute clip captured biff the high schooler which shows penny's struggle with neely. yesterday jurors finished hearing a reread of testimony from medical examiner harris, prosecution witness who said the choke hold did indeed kill neely. they wanted to hear portions of her cross examination where she testified issuing a death certificate for neely despite not having toxicology results. expert witness for the defense argues he died from a genetic
7:03 am
blood condition, blood use and the struggle with penny. retired criminal court judge says it appears the jury is struggling with a unanimous decision. >> the way i would put it is it shows that they -- to me some jurors haven't totally made up their minds yet on that particular issue of cause of death, which is absolutely crucial for the prosecution's case. >> as jurors deliberate we've learned jordan neely's father has filed a civil lawsuit against penny requesting damages and alleging negligence, assault and battery that led to neely's death. penny's defense team said it hasn't been served with a civil suit but calls the timing unfortunate while awaiting a verdict. the potential consequences are far greater than any civil suit could threaten. back to you. >> mike: cb, thank you very
7:04 am
much. >> shannon: california governor newsom taking swings at president-elect donald trump while visiting the border in san diego. he did not mince words while attacking trump's plans for tariffs and mass deportations calling it bad for the economy. william la jeunesse is live from los angeles tracking it all. hello, william. >> governor newsom called trump's tariffs a betrayal and planned deportations a disaster for the economy. he stood before a border wall he once called stupid and claimed california isn't really a sanctuary states which contradicts what prosecutors have said for years . >> we don't interfere with the federal right to advance federal laws with federal resources. you can actually coordinate and collaborate with federal authorities as it relates to transportation. >> we can't cooperate with the federal government. we can't ask immigration questions, anything like that.
7:05 am
>> newsom announced construction of a newport of entry and more national guard to improve border security. this was in front of a border wall he called a monument to stupidity five years ago when he withdrew the national guard to protest trump's assessment that a million illegal entries presented a national emergency. >> crisis on the border is a manufactured crisis. and we are not iparticipating i guard? the whole thing is licrous. >> he blasted trump's mass deportation plan and belittled tariffs on mexico. >> are we going to start producing bananas and coffee in america? there is just -- those are simple taxes you will pay for that everybody -- everybody watching will pay for. the impacts of mass deportation on the cost of food in this
7:06 am
state and this nation are off the charts. >> as for being a sanctuary state, shannon, for criminal aliens it is not even close. california ignores thousands of ice detainers every year, some 90% in some counties, even for convicted immigrant felons, back to you. >> shannon: all right. william la jeunesse there california. thank you so much. mike. >> mike: another major blue city doubling down on a promise to obstruct the mass deportation of illegal migrants bucking the wishes of trump voters, boston city council voted to remain a sanctuary city banning police from cooperating with federal agents. one member saying it's not just a policy but a promise. as we brace for impact, we have to make sure we all work together. jerry baker, fox news contributor, "wall street journal" editor at large. jerry, good morning. >> good morning. >> mike: let's show our audience the scroll of recent arrests by ice in boston to tell you that
7:07 am
this is a very relevant situation for the city of boston. jerry, what do you make of the reaction from leaders in boston? >> well, you think this will be very, very unpopular with the people of boston. these other cities, too. you talk about gavin newsom trying to do something similar in california. i'm hearing new york city, the mayor here is resisting the idea. look, exactly, you give these examples of illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. we know there are huge number. almost a million illegal immigrants out there either in jail or have committed crimes. people want those people, regular people in boston, new york or san francisco want those people removed. they have no right to be here. they are trying to set up a clash with the new president, president trump, i think they will run into real problems. these cities are already living in a kind of chaos. they have crime problems, we
7:08 am
have disorderlyness, we have complete breakdown of order in some respects. if they will seriously try to resist i think they will face resistance from their own people. >> mike: a congressman offered this suggestion. let's play it. >> back in 2017 we made a law in the state of texas that said if a sheriff does not comply with an ice detainer, you could be removed from office. i would highly recommend the state legislatures across the country implement that type of state law to prevent these liberal sheriffs from releasing dangerous individuals into our country. you can't release individuals into our cities and then they commit further crimes. it's nuts. >> mike: it sounds like boston officials intend to tie the hands of law enforcement there. how do you think this fight plays out? >> again, president trump has a mandate. people just elected him. people are very unhappy with the level of illegal migration,
7:09 am
immigration into this country. we've seen again crimes, we've seen tremendous pressure on the social system on healthcare and education across america. he has -- president trump has a band-aid to deal with this. this is a federal crisis, not state responsibility. they broke the united states law to come here and he is got an opportunity to deal with it. he has the right to deal with it and a mandate to deal with it and i think he will do it. if cities work to put obstacles in the way trying to find ways to stop him from doing this, they are the ones, those elected leaders in those cities are the ones that will face real accountability backed with in their own cities. >> mike: from boston to california. governor newsom went to the border. >> i hope we can all agree the impacts on this region and your
7:10 am
pocketbook will universally be felt regardless of your politics. that's a betrayal that needs to be revealed to those that embraced and supported this agenda. that betrayal is taking place in realtime. you are being betrayed by these policies. >> mike: betrayal? your assessment, jerry. >> gavin, you should get the price for the first in the nomination field for 2028. that's what he is doing. it makes no sense talking in those terms. argue about tariffs. they do have an impact on consumers, they are lays prices. at the same time they are designed to help domestic industry. this is not as governor of california he can't do anything about this anyone. all he is doing is posturing and posing so that he gets himself to the front of the field for the democratic nomination in 2028. if president trump and economic team want to impose tariffs on foreign goods, they may have to get legislation to do it through
7:11 am
congress and then they will and it is a measure designed to protect american industry and they will probably have some success in doing it. gavin newsom is out there essentially posturing and posing for the benefit of a democratic audience. >> mike: i could listen to you all day but we have to run. thank you for your time. >> thank you very much. thank you. >> we're talking about items that add up to hundreds of billions of dollars or more. so i think the taxpayer is going to be the big winner. they will see a more efficient government. >> shannon: could the doge agenda become bipartisan? elon musk pushing democrats to get on board. some on the left throw their support behind cutting waste in the federal government. we're closely following the manhunt for the suspect in the cold blooded murder of an insurance ceo. why some believe police are getting closer to catching the killer. this is a picture of one suspect.

7:17 am
>> shannon: the nypd says it is closing in on the suspect in the killing of united healthcare ceo brian thompson. the manhunt is in its third day. police have a trove of new evidence coming to light. among the revelations this. the suspect used a fake i.d. to check into the new york city hostel. investigators are trying to pull dna from a phone and water bottle he left behind. we're following the breaking details and a live report from the scene in just minutes. >> how do you define success for doge?
7:18 am
elon, do you want to see democrats here? >> mike: elon musk and vivek ramaswamy getting -- bernie sanders and ro khanna say they are willing to work with musk. house speaker mike johnson is embracing the support. >> over the last 24/48 hours a number of democrat colleagues in the senate and house who said you know what? signed me up. i want to be a part of this as well. we welcome that. it should be a bipartisan effort. >> mike: let's bring in richard fowler and jessica anderson. good morning to both of you. the politics of doge are fascinating led by two trump allies and here senator bernie sanders. let's play him. >> many of the things he did during this campaign were really ugly. on the other hand he is a smart
7:19 am
guy. if somebody on the other side has a good idea sure, we'll work with him. >> mike: does it surprise you? >> no. it's the right path for democrats when we agree with you we'll work with you, when we don't agree we'll vote against it. the challenge for the doge committee that elon musk and vivek ramaswamy are creating. they are trying to convince the american people they can cut $2 trillion from the federal budget and get it done in four years. it has been tried before. ronald reagan tried it and al gore. governments for the 21st century. they struggled with the federal government is full of wires and tape and a lot of things. when you cut one wire you hurt some people in nebraska and cut another wire and hurt sheep farmers in kansas. this is the struggle they'll have to deal with. understanding that a majority of the federal budget goes to medicare, social security and the military. the rest of the budget goes to
7:20 am
paying our debt to folks treasury bills that we put in the marketplace. now how do you cut $2 trillion knowing all these things to be true? this is not going to be easy as elon musk's mom said last week talking to varney. >> mike: sanders will want to go after the pentagon. >> certainly reallocating and moving thing around is what we've seen the pete hegseth and a vision for how to reform and bring efficiency to the pentagon. as someone that started their career in the tea party movement 13 some odd years ago. we learned if you are going to take a blow torch as the speaker says to spending and provide government efficiency, cut bloat, it has to be bipartisan. that's what makes this effort i think different than what we've seen in years past. we should try. we should do big, bold things.
7:21 am
president trump will do that with his second term. he did it with his first. everybody said he couldn't move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. he did that. the vision the doge caucus put forward and what they want to do is fantastic. >> mike: 22% say they trust the government to do what is right just about always most of the time. does that suggest, richard, that most voters basically think there is room to cut? >> yes and no. i do think what this election taught us the american people are frustrated with how they think the government is working. they don't think the government is serng them as well as it should. it creates a complication. we should be bipartisan. i have think it does create a complication for the trump administration. if you want to be no tax on tips which the president promised. if you want to not cut social security and medicare what the president also promised, to do that and cut $2 trillion it is like being on a see-saw and no ground under you. the struggle they'll have.
7:22 am
i do think they are efficiencies at the pentagon. democrats are talking about how to you create efficiency at the pentagon. republicans said we believe in a strong military. if you look at trump's record in his first president he exploded the budget at the pentagon and spent more money and created a new division of the space force that cost billions of dollars. how do you do it bipartisan in a waif that doesn't hurt the american people and doesn't hurt defense industry and doesn't cut social security and medicare? that is a tall order. >> one big way they'll start we have 6% of the federal government that is all that shows up at work. so you have hundreds of federal employees that have not returned to their desks. start there. create some efficiencies with people are they going to be working or not? if not they need to find another job. plenty of jobs they can backfill across the country.
7:23 am
>> mike: happy friday. thanks so much. >> there is an element of mystery here that invites more questions than answers. it is atypical of some of the very unfortunate incidents of gun violence we see in this city. >> you think they find him? >> yes. >> shannon: new york manhunt for the gunman believed to be the one who killed the united healthcare ceo. the evidence that is helping police track down this suspect next. cool right? look at this craftmanship. i mean they even got my nostrils right. it's just nice to know that years after i'm gone this guy will be standing the test of ti... he's melting! oh jeez... nooo... oh gaa... only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪

7:29 am
we get quite a lot of new details flooding into the newsroom including they're working putting a dna profile together with the new york police department and possibly some federal partners because this suspect left quite a few details behind and those could help crack the case. he did come in on a greyhound bus. the latest photo we have of him. you can see it. can see him smiling. that's the latest photo. really the clearest photo you can see there on your screen of who they are looking for. a person of interest in the murder of the united healthcare ceo spotted checking into a new york city hostel. been in the city for ten days. was in the city for ten days before the shooting. he used the fake i.d. to check in at the hostel and paid in cash and pulled the mask down to talk with a front desk worker during check why. he rode on the greyhound bus and boarded the bus in atlanta. was spotted at various locations
7:30 am
around new york city. this is also key. not just his face in that one. let's pull up the pictures from the starbucks. to lay this out for everyone watching this at home we know he grabbed a drink at a local starbucks only 20 minutes or so before he shoots and kills a ceo in what was a targeted attack. his face is showing a little bit there but not as clear as that hostel photo. he threw out a water battle in the crash can before he went to do the murder. they use that as possible evidence in this case to get that dna and saliva off of that water bottle. so pull up his picture. brian thompson is the ceo of united healthcare, gunned down, shot at least two times. first one in left leg and he limped and turned around and looked at the shooter and bleeding on the sidewalk. this is what we know about the gun. it hasn't been taken into custody or found yet in this investigation. it is a modern version of an old
7:31 am
school suppressed handgun. back out here live we'll keep you posted on all those new details. >> mike: let's hope authorities get a break in the case. live in new york city. thank you very much. shannon. >> shannon: let's bring in a retired police lieutenant and founder ever wounded blue. what do you make of what police have been able to put together so far. some of these pictures is a clear look at this guy's face. if you know him you would recognize him. do you think they have a name? >> i think they are very, very close right now. my sources tell me that this investigation is heated up to a point where i believe they are going to have a very successful conclusion to it in the very near future. i think this is a very interesting case. the fact that they are giving out so much information i also find interesting. the fact that they are letting everyone know about this individual's movements. i think that part of the
7:32 am
investigative strategy here is to put as much out there in the public and hope for a sighting of this individual. he can't hide under a rock that long. >> shannon: we want to put up the timeline. a map that shows you where he was and what happened. the first step, victim was walking alone near the hilton in mid town and watch what we see the shooter left a burner phone behind where he ran, where he was spotted as he was going through. is it -- technology these days, we assume there are cameras everywhere looking at everything. the moves that he made. does this suggest to you it is an inexperienced person, this was a professional hit, it wasn't, somebody trying to pull off a professional-looking hit? what do you make of what we saw in miss immediate aftermath of that shooting? >> i tell you a couple of things that i found striking. one was the weapon that he used
7:33 am
clearly suppressed weapon. not something you see every day on the street. his calm demeanor was something that i also noted. not only was he calm prior to the execution, but during the execution he had a weapons mal function and very calmly he cleared the mal function and continued with the attack. familiar with firearms and he didn't panic. he was completely under control, which shows me a certain discipline. so i don't know that it was professional but it certainly -- i almost view this as a terrorism attack. i will tell you why i say that. the fact that he took the time to etch the casing with the message targeted at the insurance industry and his choice of targets. this is going to send a shock
7:34 am
wave through corporate america and i think it was designed to do just that. >> shannon: let me ask you this. a friend of mine in my text group trying to solve this crime in our own conversation via text, one of the women on my text said she felt it was a little too on the nose. that the writing on the cases wanted you to believe we'll go after insurance to cover up some other motive. >> well, we're talking a lot of agatha christie stuff. the red herring or the game of clue. this is a really targeted -- this was an execution as cold blooded as it gets. now the motive, once they capture this individual, what the motive will be, will be fascinating to everyone. but i can't help but believe that this was -- this took place
7:35 am
for a reason. whether it was a revenge killing because of some perceived wrong, or if this may be that red herring that was involved with something with his personal life. we'll have to wait and see. >> shannon: yeah, he leaves behind a wife and two children and we don't want to lose brian thompson and his humanity in this, too. always great to see you. thank you so much for the insights. >> my pleasure, thanks for having me. >> you were -- >> show respect for a secret service warrior that died on 9/11. do not invoke 9/11 for political purposes. >> i am not. i'm invoking this -- >> you are, sir, you are. >> mike: fireworks on capitol hill. it descended into a shouting match amid speculation whether president-elect trump will keep

fighting against this law that congress passed and that the d.o.j. was defending this court that would either force the company to di vest to a u.s. based company or a company that is not based in china, or face a potential ban tiktok's argument was that this is an affront on american's first amendment rights. their free speech rights because so many americans use this app, 170 million american active users on tiktok. but today the court of appeals that tiktok was appealing this law to decided that it is okay for this law to remain in place. that in fact on january 19th, 2025, it is quite possible that the wheels could start turning to force tiktok to either sell to a u.s. or other friendly country-based company or potentially face a ban in the united states. so it is upheld for now. we'll see what happens and see

whether president biden gets the wheels rolling before the -- the day before the inauguration, shannon. >> shannon: i'm watching to see if these things end up at the supreme court, too. >> it very well could. >> shannon: thank you. mike. >> mike: the future of ronald rowe could be up in the air. whether he stays or goes could hinge on a fiery exchange he had yesterday with a republican lawmaker. david spunt has the details. hello. >> the morning acting secret service director rowe has a lot to think about when it comes to his future at the agency. he has made multiple reforms since donald trump was shot in pennsylvania in july. rowe made news yesterday over this heated shouting match with a congressman from texas pat fallon over this photo. one taken at the 9/11 remembrance ceremony at ground 0 this year. rowe is near president biden, trump and v.p. harris.
7:43 am
fallion said rowe positioned himself over the protective detail for his own visibility: watch this. >> show respect for a secret service warrior that died on 9/11. >> is that why you were there? you wanted to be visible. >> i was paying respect for a fallen member of this agency. you are out of line, congressman. out of line. >> the lineup of dignitaries had no impact to secret service protective operations and all detail personnel were present. that in a statement to fox news from the secret service. president-elect trump may choose to keep mr. rowe on board as the director for a few months or could do what he did with the f.b.i. and announce a new director making it impossible for the current acting director to stay. no word from trump on rowe's future. a source close to rowe said he would be proud to continue serving if asked by president-elect trump. next week the man authorities plotting to kill trump on his florida golf club will appear in
7:44 am
court for a status hearing facing serious federal charges related to an assassination attempt of the president-elect. he has been in jail since september. no indication he is getting out any time soon. >> mike: we'll follow it all, david. thanks a lot. >> shannon: you've heard it said peace through strength. it was the strategic bedrock for president ronald reagan when he won the cold war. after the republicans election victory some say it is time to bring back that policy. >> trump needs to rebuild the military like president reagan did and restore a culture that's ruthlessly focused on war fighting excellence and lethal -- i can highly recommend you will walk through so many
7:45 am
important moments in history and air force one. hard to beat. you have a lot of survey information that has come out now as well how people are feeling about things. before we get to that what do you think it will mean for defense policy moving forward now that you have got republicans in control of the white house and both branches of congress? >> clearly president trump and the republicans who got elected both in the majority in the house and senate clearly have a mandate for peace through strength. the good news there, shannon, americans generally believe in peace through strength whether they are trump or harris voters. our survey data clearly shows that. but this is wind at the sails of those who seek to have a strong military engaged in the world. >> shannon: i thought it was interesting that folks really do support funding for the military and they know that there are battles to be fought on capitol hill about that. but consistently across the board americans said they support more increased funding for the military. we have all these new fronts to worry about. the reagan defense forum survey
7:46 am
on confidence in the military now up to 51%. the highest ranking. great confidence up from last couple of years. moving in the right direction. >> the u.s. military is a treasured institution and very important that americans feel that way. obviously the most fundamental purpose of government is to defend the nation and the population so it is really important. but more broadly americans want america to be engaged in the world. one way we do that is by having a strong military that can deter bad actors but also be there for us if we ever come to blows. >> shannon: i found interesting in the survey half of americans said if we got into a direct war to china, 50/50 weather americans think we would win that? >> it is a chaotic world. china has been ascending military and economically. people are right to stop and think do we have the military that's fit for purpose?
7:47 am
our own survey data over time shows that americans want a military that could win two wars at the same time not just one. so it is very important to look at this and understand these trends. >> shannon: multiple fronts. people think about could we take on china and russia at the same time or iran or north korea acting up and doing what they do in a transition time is a lot of time when bad actors who don't have american interests at heart want to flex their muscles. >> you mentioned the prc led by the chinese communist party, russia. jennifer griffin used a great phrase yesterday, axis of auto congratulates, don't their our values and worldview. we don't want to live in a world dominated by those people. >> shannon: this is from the secretary general talking about the fact trump took a lot of heat for calling out nato
7:48 am
comments and comments he made and relationships he had in regard to nato that we have to operate in that international stage but here is what the secretary general said about what president trump was right about. >> he was right in 2018 when he said that we had to spend more. since then we have massively on the european side increased our defense spending so this is thanks to donald trump. we need to do more. it has to be more than 2% if we want to deter russians and others in a good shape. >> shannon: he said they need to increase and trump was right. what do you think trump back on that stage and that conversation. >> one of the major successes of the first trump administration was insuring nato allies contributed more to our collective defense. a real win and you can see there is renewed seriousness in that regard. our own survey shows that
7:49 am
