>> bill: the west coast. malibu, california. crews battling a big and dangerous fire in malibu erupted last night prompting mandatory evacuations. flames burning very close to pepperdine university. that forced some of the students there to shelter in place. the fire scorched 2,000 acres and we'll keep an eye on this. santa ana winds are blowing and that's not what you want. stay tuned for more out of southern california coming up. >> dana: the threat of an unchecked border and president-elect trump's plans to solve it. that's front and center. a pair of hearings getting underway on capitol hill. trump preparing to carry oust the will of voters who sent him back to the white house. will top democrats dig in on

their resistance? we shall see. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom." i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. good morning to you, okay. getting ready, right? lawmakers putting a spotlight on immigration. the growing dangers caused by the current administration's failure to secure the border and uphold law and order. a huge deal in that election in november. this is what president trump and his team are walking into. one of many reasons why they don't want to waste any time. at least 2 million known gotaways have entered the country under biden-harris, a 256% increase from when trump left office back in january of 2021. >> dana: president-elect trump is laying the ground work for action now so he can fulfill his promise to launch a crackdown on day one. >> is it your plan to deport everyone who is here illegally over the next four years? >> i think you have to do it and it is a very tough thing to do. it is -- but you have to have

rules, regulations, laws. they came in illegally. the people that have been treated very unfairly are the people in line for ten years. we're starting with the criminals and starting with others and see how it goes. >> dana: we have a national correspondent griff jenkins starting us off in washington. hi, griff, good morning. >> good morning. here we go. both chambers of commerce tackling trump's plans to hit the ground running on day one in what he believes is a mandate to secure that border. we can show you live the democrat-led senate hearing will start here shortly and expect fierce resistance from democrats to his mass deportation plan. among witnesses retired army major general randy manor who plans the warn lawmakers about trump's use of the national guard to employ as part of that deportation effort. but we'll hear from patty morin whose daughter was raped and

murdered from an illegal immigrant in el salvador and blames the biden administration for her daughter's death. she is going to say american citizens aren't safe because joe biden and kamala harris removed the safeguards to keep criminals out of our conference. they turned a deaf ear to the people they swore to protect. please don't do the same. the dreamers brought illegally as children. trump says he wants to work with democrats to help the dreamers. >> i do. i want to be able to work something out. it should have been able to be worked out over the last three or four years and never got worked out. i think we can work with the democrats and work something out. >> over on the house side lawmakers are diving into local law enforcement's cooperation and hearing from the national sheriff's association how best to assist with trump's plans. but that may be hard, dana, in the sanctuary jurisdictions we have some mayors vowing to stand

in the way. >> dana: griff, thank you. >> bill: leaders dealing with crisis on a local level. president-elect trump's border czar vowing to keep cities in line. not taking no for an answer when it comes to cooperation. speaking with chicago republicans yesterday tom homan said chicago will be ground 0 for mass deportations. part of the administration's day one plan to curb the number of illegal im greeks. homan issued a stark warning to democrats including that city's progressive mayor, brandon johnson saying come to the table, help us protect you, please. but if you don't, get the hell out of the way. end quote. homan's notice says johnson faces residents who are furious on spending money on illegals instead of residents there amid a worsening homeless crisis. what is the status in the windy city today, garrett >> it is getting colder and over

the last two years chicago has spent more than half a billion dollars on migrants. when it comes to its own growing homeless crisis and growing number of tent cities the city says the money just isn't there. that has a lot of folks upset, including here around this park where a year ago there was a single tent. today there are nearly two dozen. when families walk through the park now, which doesn't happen often anymore, they have found needles, knives and condoms on the ground and lots of trash and a lot of safety concerns. >> i used to like going to the park and love going with our kids and our dogs. we can't do that anymore. >> it has gotten very sketchy. people doing drugs and you don't know what is going to happen. >> it will be get worse and start getting present at other parks where it isn't today and, you know, soon we'll be like portland and seattle. >> over the last year 911 calls

for the park spiked 20%. cases of battery doubled and having an effect on local businesses. when they pressed officials they were told the city has a five-year plan to address homelessness. for now there isn't enough money to clear out this encampment. >> you see money spent in a lot of areas in the city and very frustrating that they are not making this a priority and using funds to house the residents and restore the parks. >> local alderman says politics is also at play given that several of the mayor's allies have had tent encampments cleared out of their wards as recently as last week. the city says the soonest this tent encampment will be cleared out is next year. >> bill: a cold winter. garrett tenney, thank you in chicago. >> dana: for more on this is incoming white house counselor

to the president alina habba. congratulations on the appointment. a great job for you to get your head around all of this. you have to look at it from a big picture point of view. when garrett tenney runs a clip of the woman saying i used to love going to the park, those are the people you think about when you are fighting for the policies even if it is going to be difficult some days in the messaging. >> that's, of course that's true. difficult messaging is not something we're unfamiliar with or president trump is. we have to make clear the one thing dana that is that we're doing this for the american people. as tom homan said we're trying to clean up the streets, get on board. eric adams is a perfect example and i can't believe i'm saying that. he said look, you can cancel me. this isn't about politics. this is about safety, security and the people that i was voted in by to support and protect and defend. and that's what we want to do. we have to correct this so people feel safe going to the

parks and we don't have fentanyl crisis and the list goes on and on and top of mind when we get in there. >> bill: you heard us read this story out of chicago. homan went there and stayed to democrats get out of our way. i think he said get the hell out of the way. he was also asked about separation of families. he said i'm not looking to separate families at all. that's not my goal. my goal is to enforce the law. if you put yourself in that position, it may happen end quote. how much thought have you given to that possibility, alina? >> listen, every single issue that we're going to have to face because of what they have done over the last 3 1/2 years is going to have the negative press, the positive press, all the things that come with making tough decisions. nobody is breaking up families. nobody is targeting individuals and making sure that one over the other goes out. that doesn't happen under president trump. it didn't happen before. but you do not have a right to come here to endanger us or not

come in the right way. you can come in as an immigrant as my parents did but you must do it the right way. nobody that understands it better than i do. i can assure you tom homan as tough as nails as he is looking out for us and child trafficking is something he spoke about extensively and why he wants to get families, if they will cooperate, out and in the right way. that's all it is. you are welcome into this country but not illegally. >> dana: alina, can we ask you about new york justice system? you are familiar with it. alvin bragg, prosecutor, brought this case against daniel penny and the choke hold case when jordan neely was in the subway causing mayhem, daniel penny puts him in a choke hold and we have the trial. the headline from the free press. daniel penny's innocence and the shame of alvin bragg, a just verdict for daniel penny does not -- it was an inwarranted.

this is crime up, rape up 7.4%, grand robbery and grand larceny up, etc. there will be a challenger to alvin bragg. but this city just went through a trial. i wanted to get your take on it. >> this was an atrocity and that's well stated headline. alvin bragg is a disgrace. i have said that for years. i have said that under what he did to president trump and i can assure you as counselor to the president when i get in the administration i will make sure that this is not happening again. it is very disturbing to me. we have pam bondi in the attorney general's office. tremendous. people making sure these types of attacks on individuals while migrants run loose and people can't go to parks and people are afraid to take subways, that this exact thing does not happen. alvin bragg has made a shame of new york. he has ruined our city. and it is really -- we have no

place for it in america anymore. i can assure you on january 21st i will be putting my head down to make sure whatever we need to do to make sure this doesn't happen does not happen again. >> bill: thanks for coming on. see you in washington soon. alina habba. thank you. >> dana: thank you. >> thank you. >> will be delivered in this case. this case is hinged on attention. in fact, the attention in this case and the killing of brian thompson was helpful no doubt in allowing us to capture this killer. >> dana: it's a fact of life in law enforcement. the public plays a big role in catching bad guys. how the suspect in the killing of a ceo was captured far from the crime scene in manhattan. >> bill: you have a raging wildfire in malibu exploding overnight. sun is up. we can see clearly now forcing students at a nearby university

to shelter in place or evacuate. >> dana: high anxiety in new jersey. mysterious drones causing a lot of fear and nervousness. we'll have an update. >> we are most concerned about sensitive targets and sensitive critical infrastructure and something we're taking deadly seriously. i don't blame people for being frustrated. wax figure of myself. oh! right in the temporal lobe! beat it, punks! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ go-friends, gather! keke! chris! jason! boop! friends. let's go, let's go, friends! hold onto your dice. woohoo!! -nice frosting, pratt. -thank you! how we doin', keke? tastes like money to me. i can't go back to jail! wait, did you rob my bank? -hehe. -are we winning!? -ha ha ha! -oh boy! yeah!

money, power, friendship. let's go!

>> dana: fox news alert. major wildfire spreading quickly across the pacific coast highway forcing mass evacuations and shelter in place order at pepperdine university. william la jeunesse has more live. >> the mountains above malibu that runs along the northern edge of the city of santa monica ca mountain preserve. last night the fire was dotted throughout the entire area.

the hillsides are burned. houses you can see are woven into the landscape. firefighters were up there doing structural protection. keith will move over to give you an idea the entire ridge line was on fire and into some of those canyons. pepperdine university is to his left a little more. 2,000 students sheltered in place there because it was safer. all the kids from out of town running around malibu. the fire actually even jumped pacific coast highway in two areas in bluff park. the danger, dana, this brush fire was going to turn into a major devastating fire because we're literally right now in the center of the city. town hall, public library and a lot of high-end retail. the fire start evidence at 11:00 p.m. last night. winds were 40 to 50 miles-per-hour and blowing. now as you can see it has calmed down. the smoke for the most part is going straight up.

that's good news. we'll go -- we have 600 firefighters here now. it's the only major fire in southern california. here is a resident from malibu speaking to reporters last night. >> it's a very nice area and there are a lot of beautiful homes. very expensive homes. this house on top of the hill here which is all dark now was totally lit up and unfortunately i'm afraid they might have done a lot of damage, if not total loss. horrible, a really expensive house. >> we got here last night, dana, around 4:00 a.m. in the morning. you could hear the bulldozers and chain saws trying to cut stuff down. a lot of palm trees went up right away. we don't know if any houses were lost. some structures were. no lives lost. that's the good news. >> dana: william la jeunesse, keep us posted. stay safe. >> bill: so on the other side of the country, many residents in

new jersey have been rattled. swarms of mysterious drones in the skies. state leaders say they aren't getting answers from officials. >> concern for public safety. that's number one. number two, having said that, it is really frustrating that we don't have more answers as to where they are coming from and why they are doing what they're doing. the minute you get eyes on them, they go dark. >> bill: the mayor of a township in new jersey and with us here in studio. good morning to you. off the top of that quote the governor said we don't see any concern for public safety. that's a good thing so far. what's going on? >> i have to tell you that's why i got into politics. i'm not getting answers. a couple of weeks ago around thanksgiving we started seeing drones. now the average person can see a drone over a wedding or over a baseball but it is tiny, not a big deal. these things are the size of a car, if not a bus. they are literally flying right

over our houses. we're concerned because it is not something that you are seeing every single day. when you see it once, okay. but when it comes back the next day and the next day it is an issue. and we're not getting answers. >> dana: this is a little bit from a letter sent from mayors in new jersey to governor murphy. part says the lack of information and clarity regarding the operations has caused fear amongst our constituents. the situation is untenable and urge your office to take immediate action to provide transparency and address these issues. i think the real big, the strange thing is why haven't they done something to bring one down? >> that's a great question. as the mayor of my township. the most amazing town in new jersey. >> dana: let's hear it for your town. >> my first responsibility is the safety and well-being of my residents. when you have something like this that's coming into the town, that's something that concerns not only the residents but it concerns my police chief

and the staff of town hall and concerns everybody. we need to know what's going on. i'm getting questions. does faa have authority over the airspace? this is creepy. they are everywhere now. one flew over our house last night. >> dana: they're loud, right? >> they're loud. with the world we live in when you see things happening in syria and ukraine and you see drones that are over there dropping things, you understand that the people want to know what's going on. can this happen in america? can this happen in the township of ours? we're frustrated because we aren't getting answers. we have to get better. >> bill: maybe washington could give you answers and maybe that's where the answers come from. a further description of what happened. ocean county, new jersey. a call for two now. captured footage of one of the flying objects over the weekend. it was larger than the ones flown by hobbyists flying 60 to

70 miles-per-hour. we're not sure what it was. something flying low and fast. there is a meeting tomorrow on wednesday. who goes? >> a meeting tomorrow for the mayors of the townships in morris county and beyond. a couple days ago we spotted at least 60 drones over our township. and that's just what we could see. there are hundreds, if not thousands that are currently flying. >> dana: what do you think they are? >> when you look at the size and scale of this, it is either some big -- costs a lot of money to do this. i don't know if it's a google, i don't know if it's an amazon or a military thing. i'm kind of leaning towards military but i have to tell you i hope it's american. if it's not, we have real issues and that's what really concerns me. >> bill: this point is well taken because we know the u.s. military has had incidents where

they believe chinese national living and going to school here have flown drones over u.s. military bases. maybe this is related but entirely separate. drones becoming more popular and better. >> they are becoming better and bigger. think like this. if you had this thing flying over your house, what about your privacy? is it taking pictures? is it scanning? what's going on? we need to know. our elected officials have to do better. >> bill: are you only seeing these at night or daytime, too? >> we're only seeing them at night. we never see them during the day. we see them around 4:00, 5:00, 6:00. i'm a runner. i get up early. 5:30 in the morning i still see them. >> bill: mayor, we'll follow that meeting tomorrow. >> dana: keep us posted, please. >> thank you for having me. >> syrian civil war has had a huge impact on the region on the people of syria but had much

further afield effects as well. some of them will doubtless be felt in the period to come unless politicians are wiser this time. >> dana: a setback for putin. downfall of the syrian regime threatening key russian military bases there. we talk strategy next. president biden is still in office but playing second fiddle to president-elect trump. democrats not too happy about that.

>> the officer quickly recognized the male as the suspect from the shooting and within several minutes, seconds of the first contact, he had asked the suspect if he had been in new york city recently and that really invoked a physical reaction from the suspect. he became visibly nervous, kind of shaking at that question. >> dana: pennsylvania police describing the moment they arrested the suspect in the killing of united health ceo brian thompson. they caught him in altoona,

pennsylvania yesterday. that's roughly 300 miles from the crime scene in manhattan. alexis mcadams you have been on the scene and on this story since the first moments that this story broke and you are here with us in new york city. what do you know? >> the manhunt started in manhattan. investigators say it ended in altoona, pennsylvania from good old-fashioned police observant employee believed to have cracked the case here. want to pull up new pictures we got into our newsroom. these are the photos the pennsylvania state police dana and bill just released. looks like it is the suspect moments before he is taken into custody in pennsylvania having a hash brown inside mcdonalds where they called 911. pull up the video of the mcdonalds where it all went down in altoona. you wouldn't think it would happen a new hundred miles away. the suspect hopped on a bus and headed to altoona as the investigation continues. this perp walk video we have the 26-year-old spotted cuffed and

walked right out of that pennsylvania police department. mangione stood in front of a judge who explained to him he could then be extradited to new york city. we're waiting to get more on that. this all comes as investigators believe he had a backpack with him at that mcdonald and spotted wearing a mask and asked them to take it off and called 911. the fake i.d. they tell me luigi mangione was using at a hostel in new york city. he handed over this fake i.d., dana, at the mcdonalds and they said that's how they knew it was him, too. he started shaking -- he had a backpack with him at the time of the arrest. a different one. inside a handwritten note that explained a possible motive in the case talking all about how he had back surgery and slammed the insurance industry, specifically united healthcare

saying in the manifesto i state i wasn't working with anyone. i was working alone. i do apologize for strife or tram that but it had to be done. these parasites had it coming. listen. >> officers recovered a handwritten document that speaks to both his motivation and mindset. >> we have begun to do an all an sis of written documents. electronic devices that are in the process of being downloaded. >> brian thompson was shot and killed in new york city. a dad of two kids. a wife in minneapolis area and came into town for work. now mangione is facing very severe murder charges. back live we can tell you investigators say he was cooperating dana and bill but quiet. he has not been able to get himself an attorney just yet. we'll see if he says anything that could help out in this case. >> dana: thank you, alexis. >> bill: on this back issue

here. >> dana: his back pain. >> friends say that he lived with significant sometimes debilitating back pain according to martin, a friend of his, who lived with him in hawaii. he got spinal surgery in 2023. when martin asked how it had gone mangione replied long story and did not elaborate. we have that. >> dana: many threads to pull here. also it's possible he used a ghost gun made on the 3d printer, a few statistics on that. 25,000 ghost guns were seized in 2022. that's a 1300% increase from 2016. atf says they are only able to trace.98% and 15 states have laws an ghost guns. that is something you can see changing as technology sometimes gets ahead of the law. >> bill: the mayor was talking about cracking down. especially in cities where guns

aren't allowed like new york, right? 10:34 past the hour. overseas, significant developments again in syria. let's watch. >> it is good that assad is gone but it clearly leaves a vacuum and our jury is out on the group hts and its leader gallony, they seem to set and talking which is a good initial first sign. president trump and our team are watching closely. >> bill: this could potentially be a major strategic shake-up in the middle east. watch it down. the downfall of the assad regime dealing a blow to vladimir putin and others. the future of russia's crucial military bases in syria an open question. dan hoffman, former c.i.a. chief of station is with me now and good morning to you. a lot to get to. first russia on the back burner. want to talk about what happened just overnight with the israelis hitting ports in syria, all

right? here is the quote. it is strikes on syria target chemical weapons and missile arsenal seeking to insure weapons don't fall into the wrong hands. take that first when you say that israel right now yet again is looking out for its own national security in a significant way. >> israel has to be extremely concerned about those chemical weapons stockpiles and the fact that syria is awash in weapons. the concern that there could be a power vacuum that we're looking at here where terrorists will enjoy a lot of open field running. in fact, the most prominent of all the opposition is this hts group which was previously allied with al qaeda and isis, they later fought against one another. israel, they know they need to detect threats and be prepared to preempt them before any harm is caused to their own civilian population. >> bill: so russia was using a

base there, a military base and they were using a port. they were using that for warm weather port eastern mediterranean gave them access all over the region and northern africa. if they lose both, how significant, dan? >> it's quite significant. this is an extraordinary turn of events for russia. that's their naval base and air bass that russia had used to project power. assad was their dictator in damascus and now their man in moscow. it is highly unlikely that russia will be able to retain those bases. it does have an impact on how they will be able to project their influence in the middle east. very much against the united states national interests. if the trump -- incoming trump administration wants to expand the abraham accords and develop more security infrastructure for israel. those chances are much improved now after assad ouster in the near term. >> bill: we'll watch that come

the 20th of january. two specific questions. why in your view did iran and russia abandon assad? >> well, i think the start was israel taking the fight to hezbollah and taking the fight to iran. that really significantly limited iran's bandwidth, their ability to project power and to support their proxies terrorists. russia has been dealing with a quagmire of their own in ukraine and unable to deal with protecting their power in syria. this was all the second and third order effects we've seen. israel responded to that brutal terrorist attack last october 7th, 2023. and this is a situation where we could all take advantage of israel's strikes on our mutual enemies. again it is early days, bill, but the potential is there if we play our cards right for this to go in the right direction. >> bill: hts is the group.

golani is the guy in charge. do we trust and believe him? >> he spent years in abu ghraib prison and a designated terrorist. i don't think we can trust him. it is a mistrust and verify situation there. i think it is important for the u.s. intelligence community to be out there with a full-court press collecting as much intelligence as we can on hts, as we've been doing and for us to maintain a small military footprint, 900 soldiers there to detect and act about the threats and preempt them to protect our people in the region and beyond. >> bill: help us to understand it as we go, dan hoffman, thank you so much for that today. thanks. >> thanks. >> bill: on a lighter note, dana, did kylee kelsey just dethrone the king of podcasting? >> travis kelce's brother,

jason, who retired from the eagles. >> dana: his wife. >> jason kelsey's wife is having a debut. >> dana: what is the podcast about? >> bill: i have no clue. i didn't know she had one. it's out there anyway. >> dana: about parenting obviously. >> bill: you knew that? >> dana: no. i love -- i have a birdie in my ear. there are a lot of parents out there. congratulations to her, very exciting. >> bill: we'll see how episode two does. good luck. >> dana: president-elect trump is taking the reins while biden fides into the background. you can guess how democrats are feeling about that. the smart investor has their money in a guaranteed product

>> dana: president-elect trump taking the lead on the world stage. prompting a slew of criticism against president biden accusing him of shrinking from view, letting trump take the spotlight in his final days. let's bring in the panel. caroline downey and karine from the "boston globe."enter they

said we have 42 days to sprint to the finish line and get as much done as possible for the american people. during a time when most would expect us to slow down you are accelerating. behind the scenes. progressive democrats are very angry. one said this is the one of the lameest of lame ducks in a democratic administration. there is a total vacuum. a democrat also said we should be less hobbled and more spurned. >> more shoveling. president biden has been on two international trips. you would expect him to talk to traveling reporters. we've seen none of that. it is really just good news for the incoming trump administration. all the appointments get all the press. his policy positions get all the press and in one way the trump side might want to thank biden.

this is their own doing. >> bill: caroline, the line from "politico." across two weeks abroad since the election biden spoke seven words to the media traveling with him. >> he is more reticent than ever. trump is filling a star studded cabinet with talent and historic number of women on his team. biden is still recoiling from the humiliation of being ousted and replaced by kamala harris. my favorite metaphor for the democratic party they're entering the political wilderness. they pass the same tree and running circles and they lost with their map with i dent fee politics. the grant plan of nancy pelosi to take out biden and have a smooth transition to the next nominee completely flopped. i think now they are having an identity crisis. >> bill: they will rise again. the question is when and behind whom? >> dana: another story. disturbing to see how many

people thought it was justified that brian thompson, the ceo of united health be murdered because he was an insurance ceo. here is piers morgan >> i do believe in the sanctity of life and why i felt joy unfortunately because -- >> joy? serious? joy at a man's execution? should they all be killed? would that be make you feel more joyful? >> no, it would not. >> why not? why are you laughing? >> because -- piers, it wouldn't -- >> you see the find the whole thing hilarious. >> i find your question. >> i don't find it funny at all. >> dana: she might be an extreme example but not the only one saying this. there is a sentiment out there. what's going on. >> it is all over twitter. part of it is disturbing just because we've seen. an era of political violence and speaking that way about a fellow american, husband, father is

dangerous. especially for somebody like taylor lorenz who has gone through her own trials with violence. gotten these terrible threats herself and should know better. it is deeper than that. you are a journalist. your job is to inform, not to incite. this is incitement. what she could have said instead if she wants to talk about insurance, insurance prices are really high, i'm glad the biden administration and incoming trump administration are making price transparency a huge issue. that's what journalists can add to this conversation, not calling and praising it. >> it would have been a lot more eloquent and intelligence. >> yes, i will say that she is notorious for having the most moral con -- she sent people to her home address and reprimands all people on twitter in the year of our lord 2024 for not triple masking after the pandemic is long over.

she has a twisted sense of what is good and what is not. her job at the "washington post" was to target individuals, not companies, but people and this is just the latest example. she is condoning political violence. the blatant cold blooded assassination of a ceo because of some justification which is they're harming people because whether it's the prices or predator practices, that's the justification she has. >> dana: finley has a "wall street journal" column to check it out. united healthcare. the laws mandates and regulations have given rise to myriad insurance market grievances. a policy debate to be had. whether an innocent person deserved to be murdered, there is no debate there. caroline and karine, thank you for coming in. >> bill: a new quantum computer chip. it is mind-boggling and it is

massively complex and can take all these complex problems and solve them in minutes. this is not the future, folks, this is now. it is next.
