automate in order to compete. see where this goes where the president-elect is now involved. >> bill: see where it goes. buckle up as we say the north lawn. nice to see you. >> dana: scary video out of michigan. firefighters were responding to a car crash when this happened. >> dana: semi spirals out of control on the icy highway. no one was seriously hurt. incredible. >> bill: wow, off they run into the snow. 10:00. >> dana: change is coming to washington and the curtain falls on the biden presidency. new fox news polls show voters are really ready for something new. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer good morning. the question on the poll, right? are you ready, really ready? >> dana: they've had it. >> bill: is big picture especially scathing vast majority saying the country shadeing in the wrong direction.

>> biden finding himself where no president wants to be, underwater on the key issues affecting the american people. >> bill: jackui heinrich is live in d.c. as we start a new hour. >> good morning. tough conditions to leave the presidency with. voters by a 30-point margin say they've been hurt rather than helped by biden's economic policies. not only do most voters have a negative view of the economy, 77%, more also say their personal financial situation is negative. 62 to 38 percent. 64% of voters feel like the economy is getting worse for their families. that number holding strong from may after dropping slightly from april of 2023 when it was 70%. also at 74% say inflation has caused them financial hardship over the last six months. views of the economy are negative. 14 points worse than it was at

the beginning of the president's term. the increase in pessimism also comes from slightly more democrats than republicans but president biden's view is really completely divorced from that public sentiment. >> president biden: economy i'm leaving at the moment and others can do better than i did. i'm not saying i was perfect. but ends up at this moment the best economy, strongest economy in the world. and for all americans doing better. so we got a lot to do. and i'm leaving the presidency but i'm not going away. bad news for you all. >> white house briefing this week jared bernstein backed up the president's claim saying the u.s. economy really is the envy of the world. he suggested that trump would try to take credit for it pointing to jobs creation that would pay dividends later. historic lows in unemployment and wagesing up and inflation coming down, bill. >> bill: jackui, thank you for that, in washington.

>> dana: let's bring in sunday night in america host trey gowdy. the democrats back in july thought it would be very, very different. watch this here. >> joe biden will go down in history as one of the best presidents america has ever had. his selfless act this weekend remind me of what george washington did when he voluntarily gave up re-election. >> his legacy will be legend among american presidents because of the selflessness he has shown over the last month. >> with the inauguration of joe biden and kamala harris we established one of the most successful presidency of modern times. >> dana: we'll let you comment on that. one of the worst presidents in history at 35%. below average at 18%. you are getting up there to not so good. your thought. >> yeah, dana. i guess having video and audio

tape just changes life. it is very hard to deny what you say when it is on videotape. how poorly does this age? i'll give you a hint. when you are an incumbent and don't run for re-election as president, that's not a good sign. that's not an act of selflessness. that's the time you will get hammered. you will lose really, really bad and wound up his replacement lost pretty badly, too. >> bill: on this interview that donald trump did with "time" magazine, it is a long one, trey. he gave them an hour because it reads to 59 minutes, okay? he was asked about the campaign and kamala harris. he said speaking of kamala, what do you think were her worst mistakes in the campaign? he said taking the assignment number one because you have to know what you are good at. question, did she make any tactical mistakes that cost her? answer, i think when she would not talk to anybody it shown a

light on her. it was interviews, appearances and what was it? was it 95 days before she had a legitimate press conference, if that? you like to self-examine. what do you think about self-awareness when it comes to human beings? >> yeah, i just don't think they are great at it. she is a california liberal. which is different from being a normal democrat like an andy beshear or roy cooper. she is a california, san francisco progressive. you have to spend the rest of your time convincing people that they are not seeing what they are really seeing. she literally sounded like a member of the freedom caucus at the end on the border. she spent a billion dollars trying to convince people that she wanted to build a border. a billion dollars on her campaign. look, i think biden did her a real disservice. just like he did with justice brown jackson. you can't say i'm going to pick

a black female because then you undercut whoever you pick. say you will pick the best person and maybe it happens to be a black female. i think he did her no favors. no favors. >> dana: you remember the duke lacrosse case and accuser in the case is finally admitting she lied. >> they trusted me that i wouldn't betray their trust and i testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me, when they didn't. and that was wrong. >> dana: trey, your thoughts on this case as it continues to reverberate. >> sometimes it's better late than never and sometimes it's just way too late. her mea culpa is way too late. those kids' lives were ruined

not just by her. i think people could tell early on that something wasn't right with her but the prosecutor, supposed to be a shield against innocent people withholding exculpatory president. the president of duke who immediately serves as judge, jury and executioner. what a horrible day for our justice system to have a prosecutor willing to withhold evidence. that is not what prosecutors do. i'm glad she finally had a come to jesus moment. it was just a couple decades too late. >> bill: what a moment it was for those men, too, at the time. trey, good to have you on. wishing you a merry christmas if we don't see you before then. thank you, trey gowdy, nice to see you. seven minutes past the hour. justice department inspector general i.g. saying there were no undercover agents in the crowd during the riot on capitol hill. the i.g. report did reveal there were 26 quote confidential human sources outside the capitol and

three assigned to be there. what does it mean? david spunt, what does it say? >> good morning. outgoing director chris wray has always insisted no undercover f.b.i. agents at the january 6th capitol rally. i told the truth according to this report. there were 26 confidential human sources or f.b.i. informants in the crowd. only three were told thereby there. 23 came on their own. confidential human sources are people that belonged to groups like the proud boys, oath keepers and others and became paid f.b.i. informants while still remaining members of their groups. out of the three told by the f.b.i. to be there, one entered the capitol in a restricted areas, two others entered another restricted area outside. the report said the f.b.i. did not encourage or authorize any sources to go into the capitol building or a restricted area. what stands out in this report,

none of the confidential human sources the entered the u.s. capitol or restricted areas were prosecuted by the u.s. attorneys office which said it did not prosecute people who entered restricted areas as the only offense. outgoing f.b.i. director chris wray has been pressed on the f.b.i.'s role in january 6th and bureau's response. one clip from last year. watch this. >> asking whether the violence at the capitol on january 6th was part of some operation orchestrated by agents and the f.b.i. emphatically. not violence orchestrated by f.b.i. sources or agents. >> in a response to the d.o.j. watchdog the f.b.i. says the agency continues to work with the department of homeland security to secure the upcoming january 6th, 2025, electoral certification which has already been designated a heightened security event. >> bill: they'll have the fence up. david spunt, thanks.

>> we should be doing some very urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies especially if they are flying over airports or military bases. we should be shot down if necessary. >> dana: this is embarrassing. we look so clueless, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle demanding action. mysterious drone sightings spreading from the northeast to other states, bill. >> bill: also you have a potential motive now in doubt. what an insurance company is revealing about the suspect in the killing of -- >> dana: while securing the border the biden-harris administration selling unused border wall parts as scrap. hear the outrage. “hero owl saves money!” use your vision insurance for exams, glasses, and contacts - all at america's best.

>> bill: investigators still digging deep for a motive in the murder of the united healthcare ceo. the suspect, luigi mangione, was never a customer of united health even though police say he named the company in a manifesto. out of san francisco, the chronicle reporting that police identified mangione through photos days before his arrest at a pennsylvania mcdonalds. candace delong, a former f.b.i. criminal profiler interviewed nearly 50 convicted murderers, the former head nurse at the institute of psychiatry of university of northwestern hospital. based on that new information what does it matter whether he was a customer or not of united health? >> i do not think it matters at all. united health is widely known to be -- they're one of the big top five insurance companies.

and that was his target. the insurance industry. and so he went for the ceo. it doesn't matter that he wasn't personally injured. he seems to have taken it upon himself to be some kind of avenging angel and he has in what he did kind of wrapped himself in this cloak of righteousness. i am here to protect the rest of all of you from evil insurance companies. >> bill: this from a reddit account that we believe is associated to him, okay? august 3, 2023. he writes when my back problems went bad on me last year it was devastating as a young, athletic person. i was destined to chronic pain and desk job the rest of my life. his family hasn't said much. we watched that together.

very small statements and very few words. the back problems seemed to come from him or friends of his in hawaii. but it doesn't appear based on the information we've been given that the family has referred to this back pain at all. is it possible that it's in his own mind? how do you analyze that? >> no, if that x-ray that has been posted on the internet is legitimate, if it is of his spine with four 3-inch crews in his spine he has pain. chronic pain of any kind can lead to psychological problems including clinical depression and we frequently see in the

background of people that commit murder, clinical depression. now, i'm not saying that's what happened here. i'm just explaining it's a possibility. his family doesn't seem to be anywhere. there is no indication they were at the hearing the other day. something is going on there. >> bill: the family said he dropped out of life and they lost touch with him for at least half a year based on some of the pieces we're putting together. this is backyard quarterbacking right now. we really don't know, okay? here is a friend of his apparently from going back to 2016 in high school. watch. >> the man i knew was a hard working kid with everything going for him. it is like a different person we see in all the headlines and the yelling in the arraignment. he is -- something has happened in the last eight years. when i knew him he was nice and polite and driven, athletic. he had everything going for him

and he was everything you could want. >> bill: that comment takes us back to the ultimate question. that's motive. right now frankly we don't have it. >> correct, we don't. a lot of people that knew him such as the gentleman that just spoke who knew him in high school, they are saying this isn't the person we know. the difference between knowing him then when he was in his mid teens to now is eight years, at least. when an individual goes from puberty to early adulthood to mid-20s is frequently when a lot of different chronic mental disorders emerge. they can be minimal, moderate, or severe. we have seen it in many, many cases. so when people say this isn't

the person they know, well, technically it's the same person but you are right. there has been a tremendous change. i cannot help but look at this whole thing and listening to all the people that knew him and his incredible successes, academically, athletically, socially, and then in a matter of months change and now stands as charged with murder oy was a no-show. it may say something down the road. we'll see. thank you for coming on. >> dana: no pay and an 80 hour work week. does it sound good to you? that pitch not stopping a flood of doge applicants. how they're building their team of cost cutting crusaders.

>> bill: the new administration just around the corner. fewer than 40 days i do believe. the biggest names in tech now lining up to rekindle their relationship with donald trump. grady trimble is on that story. this is an interesting group of folks who are kind of doing a 180, grady, good morning. >> they are. good morning, bill. big tech are ingratiateing themselves to president trump. meeting with him and donating big bucks to his inaugural fund. sam altman is the latest tech leader to do so. he is personally donating a million dollars to the presidential inaugural committee saying in a statement, quote. president trump will lead our country into the age of a.i. and i'm eager to support his efforts to insure america stays ahead. this donation comes after mark

zuckerberg's meta and jeff bezos amazon donated a million buck and amazon streaming the inauguration on prime. zuckerberg met with trump last month and google's ceo did yesterday and meet with bezos next week. just because the ceos are trying to get close to the president elect doesn't mean the trump administration won't go after their companies. >> censorship will be one of the top priorities for me. we need to restore americans' right to free speech. you mentioned facebook and other companies have been part of a censorship cartel working with advertisers and government officials to censor the free speech rights of everyday americans. >> trump has allies in congress trying to also stop online censorship. senator schmitt introduced legislation aimed at preventing

collusion between federal agencies and social media companies. a new day as relates to online censorship. >> bill: great to be in the room. thank you. >> we look at $36 trillion we're currently in debt. it is undeniable that this is unsustainable. there is never a better time than now with the tools that we have with a.i., with business intelligence, analytic tools for us to really do a deep dive and analysis and use taxpayer dollars wisely. >> dana: that is just one of many americans reportedly vying for a volunteer position with doge. vivek ramaswamy and elon musk wants folks to work 80 hours a week for free and people are willing to do it. todd piro and tyrus are here. you had engineers from going also deep mine saying i won't

work on this project for the pentagon. they didn't believe america was a good country. all of a sudden a different thing. >> a trump sea change. it underscores the magnitude of this moment. i think most americans see we have an opportunity for transformative change and much like our country transformed following world war ii, maybe they didn't necessarily know it at the time when it was about to go on but people view this as their opportunity to do real government service. you will work hard but my grandfather who had a four-year vacation in europe worked pretty hard while there as well and didn't get paid a lot, either. this is a great opportunity to help our nation. >> bill: the killer quote. his name is james tagg, 26 years old. electrical infrastructure manufacturing company employee, right? he says i'm prepared to invest countless days and sleepless nights to realize this vision. i believe america can achieve its full potential with doge leading the charge. to rub shoulders with the people

inside their orbit is priceless. how many people are thinking that way? >> you will do a lot of networking. once the job is done there will be a lot of opportunities. i am excited about this. we talked about this on "the five" a little bit yesterday. i'm excitesed about seeing people willing to give service to their country. also the other side of it is the opposition will give voters a good look at who is really for them that they are putting in office and who is not for them. so the special interests and all the other stuff, ridiculous spending we've seen. people who fight hard you will have to explain it. the other side is after their service is done with doge i hope these are the individuals that run for office because people who seek office for service and change and not money are the type of people that i want to vote for. >> dana: even if they start good companies, innovators. talking about innovators elon musk is one of them. president trump told "time" magazine he is not worried about conflicts of interest saying i think musk puts the country before his company.

he is in a lot of companies but considers this to be his most important project and he wanted to do it. and i think he is one of the very few people that would have the credibility to do it but puts the country before and seen it before he puts his company. that's a transcribed sentence there for trump saying he is not worried about a conflict of interest. >> i think you don't have to look too much further than x or twitter or whatever it is. he took a haircut on that and did it because he believed in free speech. he is not making much money off that. if anything he is taking a huge loss. the one thing i would be cautious, let's watch what the d.o.j. does. this is an opportunity for twitter, for musk, for x, for trump to all say we're not going to put our hands on the scales of justice. d.o.j. has a lot of matters with elon musk. let's see them through without tipping the scale. >> bill: musk has become an american culture figure based on what he has accomplished. >> i don't know if i take crazy pills or not.

they're working at the pleasure of president donald trump. he have is not biden who doesn't fire anyone. doge is not doing trois they are supposed to do elon musk doesn't matter who it is, they will get fired and replaced. president trump is not afraid to make a change if things aren't going his way. so it is not -- they won't have it their way. it will be the president of the united states will pull the trigger if it's not getting done to the expectations which they said. >> bill: i'm anxious to see what they accomplish. what can they really get done? how much buy-in would you get? nice to see you. >> likewise. >> dana: have a great weekend. enjoy those girls this time of year, you too. eyes in the sky. questions mount as mysterious drone sightings increase in most states. tyrus has answers, they should call him. one of the longest rivalries. army navy will meet on the

gridiron tomorrow and the next commander-in-chief will be there. big news for mahomes! i'm switching to iphone 16 pro at t-mobile! it's built for apple intelligence. that's like peanut butter on jelly... on gold. get four iphone 16 pro on us, plus four lines for $25 bucks. what a deal. ya'll giving it away too fast t-mobile, slow down.

>> bill: border scraps for sale and on the cheap indeed. in their last weeks the biden administration is set to auction off sections of the border wall before president trump takes office. minimum open bid starts at five tlar for 20 tons of taxpayer funded steel. talk about a steal. william la jeunesse has the story in l.a. hello. >> good morning. this has been a debacle from the very beginning when president biden stopped construction of the border wall in his first day in office abandoning millions of tons of steel. where is it now? huge sections we found yesterday being trucked away from the border being sold as scrap for pennies on the dollar. even though president biden knows the incoming

administration wants this material. he is selling it. hundreds of tons of state-of-the-art finished steel wall for almost nothing. auction sites like this one near tucson. taxpayers will pay twice for the same stuff. the biden team already sold most of an estimated $350 worth of lights, wires and expensive steel. according to the government auction site that they are using now, biden is taking bids starting at $5 for each 40,000 pound lot of finished steel. >> it's a slap in the face not just to the agents out there working, to the american public as a whole. they could have just left the panels alone. >> so last year we know the biden administration sold 700 of these 30-foot steel segments for $2 hundred apiece, meaning taxpayers took a loss of $10,000 for each. president trump installed 455

miles of wall. another 250 miles was under construction when biden stopped the project. refusing even to fill in the gaps in the fence migrants were coming through. i found this pile of materials near yuma three years ago. >> message to the white house, right now i will bid on all of that wall and we will buy it in texas and we'll give it to donald trump. >> they are sabotaging the incoming administration and make it difficult. we'll get this done. >> so after our report last night, the auction site took down those webpages and appeared to cancel the sale of hundreds of tons of steel that was scheduled for next wednesday. as to who okayed this, bill, we're getting a run around from tsc to corps of engineers saying we have to talk to the secretary of defense to find out who. >> bill: that is an

extraordinary story. could they have dumped all that steel over the next 40 some days? >> yeah, they've already dumped a lot, okay? so there were termination costs of $6 hundred million just to pay off some of the contractors in the middle, if you remember, bill, in the middle of constructing it on the day biden took office and he said no more. canceled, national emergency. they've already sold multiple lots of this. i got -- there were counts of something like 30,000 in knee mexico unused. 20,000 in arizona. trying to get an accounting of how much has been sold and how much still may be left. >> bill: i like the idea from texas. they'll buy it on the cheap if you give them a chance. thank you, william. good reporting in los angeles. we'll see where it goes. thanks. >> it makes more sense because i think people in new york and new jersey see drones the size of an s.u.v. over their house every night and think it doesn't make

any sense. >> i understand why people would be looking at this and being concerned about it. we're concerned about it, too. why we have the department of homeland security and f.b.i., my goodness, looking at this and taking it seriously and we understand people are concerned and understand that they have questions. >> dana: people are growing frustrated and embarrassed that america has this position off the lack of answers on the mysterious drones flying overhead. new sightings in california. the president of guyer taylor laboratories join me now. can you shed light on this where the government cannot? >> hi. this is -- a lot of hysteria going on over this. reminds me a little bit of the war of the worlds radio broadcast back in the 30s where things happened and people got -- started looking in the sky looking for aliens and now everybody is looking in the sky and we're seeing all sorts of things and taking photos of it and videos.

one of the key things to look at is if the item flying overhead has flashing lights like f.a.a. warning lights, it's probably a licensed aircraft or helicopter. and so if somebody knows what it is and what it's doing. >> dana: do you think these aren't drones? >> a lot of videos like i one you show there looks like an airplane flying overhead. so, you have know, go ahead. >> dana: if they are airplanes why can't the government just say they're airplanes? >> that's above my pay grade. >> dana: is it classified? >> i doubt it. i doubt it. i think a lot of this is people seeing things up in the air and taking videos and it's routine air traffic for large part. there are drones flying around. there is everything from the commercial hobby drones to a lot of companies like mine that are developing drones for use in

defense and security. for instance, we're trying to develop a drone that will hover for 48 hours and just stay in one spot and provide border security. also fly high altitudes to provide cell tower service. there are a lot of drones. >> dana: would it be the size of an s.u.v. like some people report evidence about these? >> some of the newer ones are especially if you look at called the vertical take-off and landing with electric. air taxis is what we're calling them. people are looking to be able to fly-in stead of a helicopter, you get into ones of these and fly it from someplace outside down into new york city. >> dana: can you get me to jfk airport? that would be fantastic. >> that's what they are working on. >> dana: you think these are just planes and everyone should calm down? >> i do think that there is a lot of extra height going on. a lot of hysteria.

take a deep breath. there is a lot of cool things flying in the sky. if you are at the right time you can see satellites flying overhead, airplanes, helicopters are up there. i love it. i love looking up and seeing the aircraft fly over. we're soon going to be having drones. they are coming. >> dana: my dad contacted me earlier and given new life to an executive producer on the 21st floor who told me this yesterday and i laughed at him. so tom, i'm sorry. thank you so much, paul guyer, we'll be in touch with you. >> bill: the one thing he does mention. 20 years ago the d.c. sniper story when he was driving a white van around washington, d.c.? everybody looking for a white van. turned out not to be a white van. everybody saw one. >> dana: my dad called me about that one, too. >> bill: he did. are you okay? i'm good. so a country superstar entering a plea deal. today's hemmer celebrity news. what do we have?

mum an medicines found the current pathway for gender dysphoria presents an unacceptable safety risk for children and young people. in the u.s. the u.s. supreme court heard a challenge to tennessee's law banning puberty blockers and hormone therapy. the upcoming ruling could impact 23 other states with similar laws. we spoke to tennessee's attorney general today. >> the united kingdom is not just cutting off puberty blockers for kids dealing with gender disinformation yeah, it is greatly increasing the mental health resources available. it recognizes this is a problem but recognizes it is a mental health problem and for kids it's the more appropriate treatment. >> on x elon musk weighed in on the u.k.'s action writing puberty blockers are a horrific crime against children and those who push them are criminals. he has a personal relationship with that issue there. since puberty blockers are used off label data on how many children are prescribed them in the u.s. is scarce.

report by reuters found between 2020 and 2021 the diagnosis of gender dysphoria in children increased by 70%. >> dana: important story, thank you. >> coaching college football and it just never really worked out. had some good years in the nfl. that was okay. this is a dream come true. i believe we'll run a good program and have a good team. we'll see where it goes. i'm not making predictions but come in there and do the best i can. >> bill: university of north carolina will be the next stop for the football ledgend. signed a five year deal with the university. won six super bowls. jim gray, sportscaster here to
