tv Americas Newsroom FOX News December 16, 2024 7:00am-8:00am PST
7:00 am
democratic fights. jerry nadler stepped aside as the top democrat on judiciary committee. >> the caucus tends to evaluate committee leadership on a case-by-case basis. the best members who happen to be the most senior members to lead those committees emerged at the top. >> former house speaker nancy pelosi backs connolly. so does the more moderate new dems coalition. progressive and hispanic caucuses support aoc. >> bill: strange wires getting crossed there. thank you for that. chad pergram, thanks. >> dana: fox news alert here. incoming trump administration moving full speed ahead putting together plans to tackle border security and migrant crisis. but sanctuary democrats are digging in their heels and vowing to fight those efforts even before president-elect trump takes office. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning.
7:01 am
new hour begins now. i'm bill hemmer. some democrats gearing up for a sanctuary showdown. chicago's far left mayor brandon johnson seems to be leading the way upping his criticism of donald trump's incoming plans. >> furthermore i just want to be very clear about this. the incoming administration's threat around immigration is -- is dangerous and irresponsible. and this administration is threatening our economy. >> dana: incoming border czar tom homan putting a priority of notion nall safety. first order of business is removing more than a million convicted criminal migrants in the country despite orders for deportation. >> chicago with the crime rate that they're at, i just can't believe they want to sit there and call law enforcement officers the bad guy. why wouldn't he want help in removing the safety threats? i'm willing to do it. i said you don't want to help,
7:02 am
fine. i can't believe you don't want to help remove criminals. if you don't want to help, stand aside. we're coming. >> bill: virginia governor glenn youngkin how he plans to deal with sanctuary cities in his state. >> dana: garrett tenney starting us off in chicago with more. hi, garrett. >> tom homan says chicago will be ground zero for the mission and says if cities like chicago don't cooperate the people who will end up being harmed are those here illegally but who haven't committed crimes and are not the priority of the trump administration. rather than sending a single agent to pick up a single suspect from police, homan will have to send whole teams of ice agents to track down illegal criminals and when they go into a house they'll end up taking everyone who is there illegally. so far unlike some other sanctuary city officials, mayor johnson is refusing to work with the trump administration to remove criminals who are here illegally. >> i take his threat seriously
7:03 am
but i can tell you one thing for sure, i will stand up and protect the people of this city and we are going to invest in the people of this city and we're not going to allow the incoming administration to continue to sew seeds of division. we're bringing people together. >> the mayor whose approval rating is in the teens is bringing people together. his own residents continue to blast him for the nearly $600 million the city has spent on migrants. and for the tens of millions of dollars more he is now trying to spend in a new budget that so far the city council is refusing to pass. >> we don't want illegals in our community. we don't want migrants terrorizeing our own people and to have you sit here and say we have to accept $70 million being given to them when you have black people already struggling and need help? it is a disgrace. the stupidity to think that you all can come with this type of cut, this type of recommendation
7:04 am
and not come with the true accounting of how much money was spent on these illegals. you all have yet to be transparent with that. that's the biggest financial downfall of the city. >> johnson's latest budget proposal are new fees and tax increases to fill in the nearly billion dollar deficits. all paid for my voters who have seen half a billion of their tax dollars go to migrants over the past two years. >> dana: with us is virginia governor glenn youngkin. show everybody a reminder, southwest border encounters over the last several years, trump versus biden. a good graphic. it is in stark terms. you can see how many more immigrants came in and here is the chicago mayor one more time, governor. questioning homan's authority. watch. >> as far as his parameters, those elements aren't fully
7:05 am
defined. i don't know -- i don't really know what this position ultimately is. so, you know, i'm not going to try to prognosticate their authority. >> dana: how do you perceive the authority of the federal government helping a city or state deport illegal immigrants? >> let me begin. it is great to see we're about to have a border czar who will actually do the job of being a border czar. and last week i introduced strong legislation through our budget process that will, in fact, hold localities accountable. when there is an ice detainer and they have an illegal immigrant who committed a crime in custody that they cooperate with ice. we have seen too many instances when we have someone who has committed a crime, who is in custody, and then they are released when there is a
7:06 am
detainer in place in contravene the authority of ice and that person goes on and commits another crime. just recently, in february in the city of richmond, we had a person who was convicted of sexual assault of a minor, the person was released while there was an ice detainer outstanding, and then iced to enable a hot pursuit in order to retain this person in custody that puts more people in danger. we had a young woman recently in fairfax county who was sexually assaulted, raped by someone had 29 encounters with law enforcement and had an outstanding ice detainer and they decided not to cooperate with ice. this has to stop. when you don't cooperate in ice with a detainer in place i'll take away your funding. we are not a sanctuary state. we will no longer allow this to happen and we will work together to make sure that we keep
7:07 am
virginians safe. every state is a border state and i want to laws in this state to cooperate with ice. >> bill: a big job. i don't know if we're in for ugly scenes or not. who is not cooperating? >> of course many localities across the country and a few in virginia have declared sanctuary city status. fairfax county, alexandria, arlington, city of richmond, and we have to cooperate with ice. when there is somebody in custody who has been accused and by the way convicted of a violent crime and they are released because someone says we are not going to cooperate with ice that's flat wrong. this is common sense stuff. virginians and americans should be able to count on their elected officials protecting them, not trial to protect illegal immigrants who have committed crimes. >> dana: the other thing in terms of common sense is what you are trying to do with the
7:08 am
budget proposal to get the straight back on track. how is it going? >> virginia is roaring. i have to say that we have seen record job growth, we have seen record corporate investments and as a result we have seen record receipts surplus after surplus. more people are moving here for the first time in ten years. that is all translated into financial flexibility for us to provide even more tax relief and so today i announced our initiative to provide no taxes on tips to all of those hard working folks in the hospitality and restaurant and food industry. personal services. this is over 250,000 virginians who work so hard. a great way for them to keep more money in their pockets as opposed to giving it to a government we're already running surpluses and no taxes on tips will become the mantra in virginia. >> bill: here we go. thank you for coming on. a lot going on in your state and
7:09 am
hope you come back soon. there is more to cover. thank you. >> god bless you. thank you for having me. >> bill: so president-elect donald trump's health secretary pick robert f. kennedy will be on the hill set to meet with at least 25 republican senators trying to shore up support. senior national correspondent aishah hosni is getting ready for a busy week again. good morning. how are you doing on the hill? >> getting ready to chase him around on the hill. a jam-packed week for rfk junior, his team tells us he is prepared and energized for this week. set to meet with senators on the finance committee overseeing his confirmation and get one-on-one time with the incoming health committee chair bill cassidy. right now he is meeting with republicans. so kennedy's make america healthy again to improve america's food system will gain traction. already is including support from senator bernie sanders.
7:10 am
his views on vaccines and his views on abortion may raise some concerns about his ability to oversee the hhs and its enormous budget. a recent report revealed that kennedy's lawyer tried to revoke fda approval for the polio vaccine. mitch mcconnell last week, who by the way contracted polio as a childish uday a warning saying efforts to undermine public confidence if proven cures are dangerous. the trump team, bill, is trying to clarify. >> rfk junior said let's have more science and study more to make sure the safety and efficacy is there. that's what president trump is saying. president trump saved millions of lives with operation warp speed. >> we've got his schedule. looks like he is only meeting with republicans for now. we'll see if it changes and if
7:11 am
he reaches across the aisle. >> bill: thank you, aishah, nice to see you on the hill today. thank you. >> you'll see it over. violence is never the answer. this guy gets a trial. allegedly killed the ceo of united health. you can only push people so far. and then they start to take matters into their own hands. >> dana: villain or vigilante. the murder of united healthcare ceo igniting a conversation about political violence. >> bill: donald trump hoping to turn the clocks back from daylight saving time. how his second administration could get rid of the twice a year changes and would that be a good thing? also this. >> dana: a street takeover in florida. the sheriff will join us as they search for subjects in this

7:17 am
>> dana: president-elect trump looking to daylight saving time. calling the changing of the clocks inconvenient and costly. mark meredith has more. people have tried this before. hasn't worked out. might it this time? >> we'll have to wait to find out. cher wants to turn back time when she sings. the president says he wants to lock the clock. he said he wants to eliminate daylight savings time and this time he may have enough support in congress to do it. daylight savings dates backs in the 1940s is inconvenient and costly. some republicans call it ridiculous and antiquated. in 2022 the senate passed a bill to make day lit savings permanent but never moved
7:18 am
forward in the house. trump is pushing for the country to be on standard time. sun rises notice fall would be earlier. changing the clocks in the spring is not great for health. associated with significant public health and safety risks including increased risk of cardio vast you lair events and motor vehicle crashes. not everyone supports eliminating it. some business interest groups argue it could cost the country a whole lot of money. "the new york times" writing over the penned small business owners when it stays light after work people are more likely to go out and spend money. you have arizona and hawaii made their decision. they don't change the clocks at all. why some people are really tired of this, the sunset in d.c. tonight 4:48 p.m. where you are at 4:30 tonight getting ready for your second show of the day. >> dana: just ready for "the five" where everybody complains about it being dark. >> i don't understand why people are celebrating him being killed
7:19 am
because at the end of the day like i said yesterday, he is dead. his kids don't got no father. the 26-year-old luigi mangione will be in jail the rest of his life and the healthcare system is still the same today. the company is still denying claims and everything today. what did that accomplish and why are you happy about him being gunned down like that? >> bill: good question. charlamagne tha god ripping those seen celebrating the suspect accused of murdering the ceo. some people casting luigi mangione in a positive light as they air their grievances with the industry. bari weiss is here. here is bernie sanders talking about some comments that elizabeth warren made. >> she obviously understands killing and murdering, shooting somebody in the back is totally unacceptable. what i think has happened in the
7:20 am
last few months is that what you have seen rising up is people's anger at a health insurance industry. >> bill: it can't be apples to apples in all of this. you guys write political violence happens because we let it. with the 60s and 70s tell us about luigi mangione and the uhc shooting. where is this going? >> i think one thing that is important to keep in mind and that charles lehman writes about in the piece you just cited is to remind people that this killing of brian thompson is part of a pattern of normalized political violence over the past decade or so. steve scalise, attempted assassination. gabby gifford. violent rioting of the blm. you have january 6th. you have the pro-hamas riots.
7:21 am
you have protests regularly now at the homes of supreme court justices. you have even people like a liberal museum cur ateor in brooklyn whose apartment building was attacked. why? she is jewish and a zionist and unacceptable. my point is we have normalized an ideology that suggests certain people because of their identity and their jobs or because of their political outlook are somehow ripe and in fact justifiable targets for violence. the same group of people, bill and dana, who like to tell us that silence is violence are going out and justifying the cold blooded murder of a father of two. how is that -- how does that comport? how do you make sense of that? the only way you make sense of it is if you understand they are operating from a principle in which certain groups are
7:22 am
acceptable targets and other groups are unacceptable ones. other groups are protected. this is a view of the world that is unacceptable. either political violence is wrong or it isn't. what we know for sure is that you cannot have a functioning liberal democracy like the one we have and accept that certain people are allowed to be murdered in the streets of manhattan. >> bill: this is what charles writes about. political violence cannot co-exist with a functioning democracy. it depends on peaceful liberation allowing each person to have her say. violence replaces the ballot box with the bullet. if we want the latter we must be unambiguous of our condemnation of the former. >> dana: wait a second and find out what went on with this man. this suspected killer. he didn't have united health insurance. he wasn't denied a claim. >> even if he did it's the idea i saw this unbelievable tweet going viral.
7:23 am
maybe you saw it. some d.j. that had it said over the weekend and giant flashing photos of luigi mangione and the crowd is going wild for it. there is something like very, very rotten in a culture where that has become not just acceptable but cool. >> dana: how do we turn it around? >> bill: we restigmatize political violence and shame any person that is trying to do that. there is no context that makes this acceptable. you murdered a person that is the father of two, full stop. that's it. >> dana: you wrote about. i read this over the weekend, the explosion of jew hate and trudeau's. a 670% increase in anti-semitic incidents in the past year. a dam burst. what happened and why. the free press investigates. >> we found out it is not so much that the fabric of canadian
7:24 am
civil society has been torn. it is that anti-semitism has been woven into the fabric of civil society in canada. i have to tell you, we have reported, as you guys know, on so many important stories over the past year. this might be one of the most important and one of the most alarming because what it shows is the way that anti-semitic violence, assaults, stigmatization of jews and jewish businesses has been completely normalized. it will shock most of u viewers there are a number of people in canada. not just a professor, but jewish doctors and professionals, parents of jewish kids that ar talking about fleeing p canada because of the normalization of anti-semitic violence. how did it happen? it happened because a group of ideologues have managed to convince massive numbers of
7:25 am
people and also taken over critical liberal institutions in canada and have put forward a view of the world in which zionism, which is the very simple, the belief that the jews like many other people have a right to a homeland in their indigenous land in the land of israel. they have normalized the idea that zionism is not the movement for jewish self-determination but actually racist and white supremacist and actually a movement for jewish supremacy. when you have successfully put forward that view and the vast majority of jews identify as zionists, suddenly they become justifiable targets for stigmatization and violence. one synagogue in toronto has been attacked. windows shattered seven times since april. one single. >> bill: a lot of ugly scenes in america last year. is it worse in canada?
7:26 am
>> yes. what we're hearing from people is that if the conservatives don't take power in canada and the government and policies of trudeau continue, we will be leaving canada. that's what people i know are telling me. they believe that america has -- is certainly not as far gone as canada and frankly we don't have the same demographic issues in canada. one in 20 canadians is muslim. really important stat to keep in mind. there are 40 million canadians. 350,000 of them are jews. the demographics of canada are changing. if you want to understand why it is that certain politicians have embraced a sort of hostile posture toward israel, why trudeau, the prime minister, talking about arresting him if netanyahu comes on canadian soil, in part it is because of what we show in this piece.
7:27 am
you have politicians saying have you looked at the demographics of my riding? it's bad politics now to support the state of israel and jews. i think that's a really important aspect to this story. >> dana: so much good content to be found on the free press. thank you for coming on. >> thank you so much. >> dana: washington's new watch doge. that's cute, vowing big changes to the federal government and elon musk and vivek ramaswamy are setting sights on bank regulators. plus this. >> we've run a campaign of basically scandal-free. hard to do in american politics these days. anyway, just want to thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. the bad news for you all is i ain't going nowhere. >> dana: president biden looking ahead for democrats after november's election losses. what's next for vice president harris? kevin mccarthy is here on that
7:28 am
7:29 am
we really don't want people to think of feeding food like ours is spoiling their dogs. good, real food is simple. it looks like food, it smells like food, it's what dogs are supposed to be eating. no living being should ever eat processed food for every single meal of their life. it's amazing to me how many people write in about their dogs changing for the better. the farmer's dog is just our way to help people take care of them. ♪
7:32 am
7:33 am
>> bill: now doge, the department of government efficiency setting its sights on u.s. bank regulators drawing pushback from the treasury secretary janet yellen. grady trimble is waiting for the sticks to fall on this one and which way they go in d.c. >> this one could take a while. the "wall street journal" reports the trump transition team is exploring the possibility of shrinking or even abolishing the fdic, which insures deposits in banks. the journal says advisors and officials are doge are asking about that possibility in interviews with potential nominees to lead bank regulatory agencies. they are also discussing shifting the fdic to fall under the treasury department. as you mentioned one person who thinks that is a bad idea is current treasury secretary janet yellen. she says in an interview with reuters i don't want to say that exactly what we have is utterly
7:34 am
-- i don't think it's broken. we have a good system. she added it is legitimate to look for regulations on banks are too burdensome. he says there needs to be watchdogs. >> deposits of the banks, not all of them. most of them are guaranteed by federal taxpayers. i'm an anti-regulation guy like you are. this is an industry that needs regulation. taxpayers are on the hook here. but it has to be smart regulation. we need the best banking laws in the world. >> elon musk, who as you know leads wants to eliminate the cfpb. it would require approval from congress. there may be an appetite for it. we'll see.
7:35 am
>> bill: the time to strike is now if you will strike at all. nice to see you, grady trimble in d.c. thank you. >> president biden: i knew what i was doing asking her to be my vice president. i knew her record and i trusted her. she always served this country with purpose and integrity and she always will. and you are not going anywhere, kid. we aren't going to let you go. [applause] . >> dana: president biden at last night's dnc christmas party insisting vice president kamala harris has a bright political future following her failed presidential bid amid new reports harris is debating what's next in her career. let's bring in former house speaker kevin mccarthy. haven't heard from her much since the election. she spoke last night. let's listen. >> it is not defeated. we are not defeated. let's be clear about that. we are strong, we are clear about why we are in this, and because you are here right now,
7:36 am
i say again thank you because not only are you clear about all of that, you are willing to put in the hard work. and that work must continue. >> dana: cnn said top aides and people close to kamala harris are divided over whether she should head home to run for california governor in 2026. it all comes down to whether they believe she could win the democratic nomination for president in an expected competitive primary in 2028. what do you think will happen with her and your home state of california, if anything? >> any time you go through a struggle like that you go through the different cycles. if you listen to her speech she is the one bringing up defeated. it is not optimistic. secondly, we all know that had they had a primary system this time, she would not be the nominee. now she has lost and has tremendous amount of debt to the party where they owe more money. the party is trying to find a new direction. that doesn't mean that they want you to be the leader. if she came back to california,
7:37 am
she would not win the race for governor. so she has to rethink. she is young enough and retool but she has never really done well in long campaign. i don't know quite what that answer is. i would step away for a little bit, rebuild on issues. and look at the places that you can improve to be able to come back and the way you come back is really about an issue and idea to make the country better. i didn't know what she was going to do after she spent a billion dollars. i don't know why they would nominate her after she lost. >> dana: in a different topic the biden administration steps on a rake when it comes to pardon. the hunter pardon that we showed last week. politically so unpopular in the country and not well explained. then 1500 commutations. the white house wants credit for doing that many in a day. included in that were some that people cannot stomach. here is the mother of a young boy who was part of this cash for kids scheme that a judge in
7:38 am
louisiana was convicted for but he was part of this commutation and the pardoning system seems broken. watch her. >> he is not one of us. we have an expressway named after him. i have to drive down and look at it every day. the president biden express way and the biden street. i want -- that's what i want done. there needs to be reform of how the overseeing of how these applicants are chosen for these pardons and what i want to see is his name removed. >> dana: i don't think they realize the effect some of these things are having and not helping them as they try to get out the door. >> this says more about joe biden and the democrats than almost anything else. when you look at what he is doing. he wants to set a record for the number of people with pardons but not care about who is in there? even on his own son's pardon
7:39 am
when he said he would not do that, he lied in the pardon. he said hunter biden didn't pay his taxes because he was addicted to drugs. but in the trial, you look at the judge itself, hunter biden's defense was no, he was clean during that time. he didn't want to pay his taxes because he didn't want to change his lifestyle. there is a lie after lie. there is a standard when you are a president. you have the constitutional right to give a pardon but there is an expectation that you hold that standard for something very special of why that pardon is given. he has changed everything about it where even democrats now want to change the system because of how low joe biden has gone. >> dana: senator klobuchar agrees. asked about it this weekend and said some of this doesn't look good. kevin mccarthy, thank you for joining us on monday. if we don't see you, have a merry christmas. >> bill: thank you, sir. in the meantime, jimmy foxx attacked at his own birthday
7:40 am
party. didn't hear about this one. it happened at a restaurant in beverly hills. someone at another table threw a glass that hit foxx in the mouth. police say upon investigation officers determined that the report evidence assault with a deadly weapon was unfounded. the incident involved a physical altercation between parties. police conducted a preliminary investigation and completed a report documenting the battery. no arrests were made. oscar winner got stitches and is recovering. >> dana: in his face? >> bill: not sure. not sure. but something went down. we know that. something happened. >> dana: stay home. >> bill: that's right. >> dana: we'll get you to this breaking news. president-elect donald trump set to speak from west palm beach at 11:00 a.m. eastern. we'll get you more on that as we can and bring it to you live.
7:41 am
plus this. [yelling] >> dana: chaos in florida. law enforcement searching for suspects in a so-called intersection take over. the sheriff on the status of that manhunt. there are families who were born into and families you choose, families who choose to show up, lift up and never give up. one in five kids still won't survive cancer. it takes all of us together to give them their best chance to live. this holiday season, choose to join our st. jude family. we need you. please donate now. [music playing]
7:46 am
[yelling] >> bill: this is not good. chaos in the streets of florida. the orange county sheriff's office searching for dozens accused of terrorizing drivers and damaging cars during an intersection takeover. happened at the end of november. video from the scene shows someone crying out over a danger.
7:47 am
>> there is a baby in the car! [yelling] >> there is a baby in the car! >> bill: this goes on for a time. there is plenty of video to watch. orange county sheriff is with me now. good morning. a couple of questions to figure this out. what's the draw for people to do this? and what age group are they? >> good morning, bill. i think the draw is just excitement and we're looking at 17 to 30 year olds. it really runs the gambit. it is extremely reckless, it is extremely dangerous and why
7:48 am
we're cracking down on these street takeovers. >> bill: how long did this last, sheriff? >> it went on for several minutes until our deputies arrived there. of course, you know, the crowd, the cars immediately dispersed. we were able to make some arrests and give some tickets to some people that we were able to capture there but we'll continue to fight against the street racing and we'll do coordinated what we call racing details where we have air assets, including helicopters, drones, and an airplane so the bad guys aren't going to get away. we don't want our residents or visitors to be terrorized like this. >> bill: how hard is it to find them when they are on camera repeatedly? >> we've already got a number of tips that have come in about who these people are. we have some great photos of them and, you know, for some of those people they are facing
7:49 am
felonies. coordinated street takeover is a felony in florida. we've done really well in the state of florida passing legislation that would increase penalties and fines that would make the second offense a felony. we've been able to now impound vehicles and now we're also able to cite spectators. even if you show up to watch you could get up to a $4 hundred fine. >> bill: we showed 30 faces on screen right there. you have some leads. miami herald says this. if you are caught in one of these and you are a driver, trapped by a street takeover, stay calm. don't engage. if possible pull safely to the side of the road and call 911. how often does this happen, sheriff? >> so, we do our racing details every single week. it is hit or miss. sometimes there are groups out there who coordinate and post on social media where they will be.
7:50 am
and so almost every week in some part of the area in central florida. it might not be in our county. might be in another county. we work closely with our partners in the surrounding jurisdictions and counties and like i said, you know, we have air assets, helicopters and planes that we can track them with and so when we see them out there, we're able to track them down. >> bill: i assuming this is in downtown orlando. the other question would be you are kind of chasing your tail a bit here when they can communicate on their phones. it is almost as if they can stay a step ahead of you, sheriff. >> sometimes they do. that happened just south of orlando. but we also can step ahead of them. we have radios, we have other assets, we commonly put unmarked vehicles out there and try and blend in at times.
7:51 am
