easy, in any season. >> thank you. i love you america! >> trace: good evening, it's 11:00 p.m. on the east coast, 8:00 here in los angeles and

this is america's late news, fox news at night. ♪ ♪ breaking tonight brand-new video of protesters in new york city chanting, free luigi! and holding signs that say, more dead ceos, referring of course to the alleged killer. we will have much more on that coming up also breaking tonight brand-new information on a story we told last night about a potential answer for these mysterious drones, mainly radioactive waste, a new jersey mayor now backing up that there you. mayor is life with more on the mysterious missing material. where is the biden administration on this? it turns out president biden went to delaware for the weekend, reminder at tuesday.

although he did offer this... meantime brand-new video showing area is the size of football fields that was supposed to build the border wall, no being sold after the biden administration got rid of the material and chicago mayor, finally passing his city budget but his angry citizens are not about to stay silent over the illegal immigration disaster that chicago is enduring. our favour chicago person in moments but we begin tonight on the unknown of those mysterious drones.

the senior national correspondent kevin is live in d.c. with more on this. >> good evening, another day another round of theories about the ongoing drone controversy. new tonight we are learning about an alert from the nuclear regulatory commission that was issued earlier this month, and they set at the time a material event, a missing piece of standard medical equipment, contained a quote, less than c.a.t. three level of radioactive material, and while there is no evidence specifically tonight that it is that material that is the source of this swarm of drones all over new jersey, or even if it has any relevance to the controversy, there are still concerns tonight about the lack of government transparency. it's raising alarms among lawmakers, from trenton to washington.

we don't know a lot, now to suggest that this is an expensive inner asian scenes investigating operation which -- now to suggest that this is an expensive investigation operation, there's no sense of danger from the drones telling reporters tonight there is nothing nefarious apparently but they are checking it all out. not terribly satisfying for some >> trace: live for us in d.c., cavan thank you. let's bring in the mayor of new jersey, mr. mayor great to have you on the show jennifer griffin asked the pentagon a very good question today, about today's congressional briefing listen to this.

the truth is mr. mayor it was all classified and members out this briefing said america is a secure and safe, would he think about that? >> i mean listen it's all been allies, six days ago every single mayor in the state of new jersey was assembled for a confidential briefing and security briefing and we were told point-blank the federal government has nothing to do this. yesterday myself and my fellow colleagues joined a call with the white house committee and they told us yesterday, spent 4e government of the thing to with this, yet today as you just reported, there was a classified briefing and i saw members come

by to that briefing saying that this is a federal government operation. they have to start coming clean with this we have no idea what is going on, we know they are up in the sky and we want to know why they are there. >> trace: it's a very good point, we know radioactive material was last -- lost in transit in new jersey, a drone expert john ferguson was on the show last night and he told us this watch. and you know the problem here, it's not that we are not getting the whole story, but the story is changing day by day. >> absolutely, the fact that i

have been asking for truth and transparency for six straight days literally nonstop on network of networks saying, want truth and transparency because it is nothing but fuel conspiracy theories online, and that is what you see happening now. literally yesterday we were told by the white house they had nothing to do with this and today re being told that it is a federal operation. >> trace: are there any more meetings planned, do you have any more talks that are in the works with some of these top officials? >> so far we have had two and both times we have been told we are crazy, we are seeing things, seeing a manned aircraft, no drones, no incidences, that is what we are being told. we have already done that twice i am not sure if there is another one schedule but it's a waste of time. >> trace: mayor check back in with us and let us know how the progress is going, we appreciate your time thank you. meantime breaking tonight a south african national on the fbi terror watch list he was detained in texas a few months ago but the release, by federal

authorities, has been tracked down and arrested again. this time in new york city, live with the breaking details on this, bill good evening. >> this is yet another example of a potential public safety threat, initially caught and released at the southern border after crossing a legally, then he was allowed to roam the country for months until he was flagged on the fbi terror watch list, they first apprehended this a south african national near eagle pass back in september they arrested him for criminal trespassing and said they then handed them off to the federal government. border patrol now says, after further investigation they determined he was a positive a match on that terror watch list and he was rearrested in a multi-agency operation after he was found in a brooklyn, new york, city, he is now back in federal custody, once again. the u.s. border patrol chief posted on twitter or in part quote, thanks to the coordination of multiple agencies, this potential threat

was located, taken to custody and is now pending removal, hashtag border security and we have this terrorist release and the public not the first time its happened by the way the same time we have these blue cities and sanctuary jurisdictions all of the countries that continue to say they are going to fight the incoming trump administration on their plans for nass -- for mass importation and things got heated and chicago city council meeting last night that is when meetings of the public spoke out against the city's plan about a whole lot more taxpayer dollars to go towards migrants, the mayor has some picked up the meeting. >> trace: and the budget passed after they were gone. live for us here, thank you let's bring in fox news political analyst and the community roundtable director, chicago resident, thank you both for coming on. i want to play, bill was talking about the meeting and i want to play some of the sound from your fellow chicago residents, they had this to say, watch!

that's what it looks like to a lot of residents, he passed the budget, that is not going to make these residents any less angry. >> the fact of the matter is, mayor johnson does not seem to care what the constituents of chicago feel like. and the concerns we are expressing. i think if he were to take a moment to address our concerns and to deal with the fact that we are not happy with what we are seeing, we are not happy with what -- with where our tax dollars are going you will not have the key people of the meeting because they are rallying or because they don't agree with what you are saying,

you have a responsibility to the citizens of the city of chicago, not to the illegals who are here. and the mayor refuses to accept that fact. >> trace: i want to get your thought very quickly john we are going to talk more about chicago and stuff happening with these illegal immigrants but very quickly, your thoughts on the south african national just reported on on the fbi tariff -- terror watch list in new york city it's not the first time as bill mentioned, and it will likely not be the last. >> and that's correct. that tells us with the biden administration is done to it citizens, if you look at the numbers we see over 200,000 people arriving as migrants into the city, of new york. we see about 60,000 of those people be convicted felons awaiting trial for criminal activity. this is what happens when you open up the border to 8 million plus people.

they come in, some get attention -- some with good intention, some with bad. many others that the biden administration cannot keep track of and that is what people voted for trump. every state has shifted towards the right. >> trace: i want to get through these two questions very quickly because here is in aurora, colorado, city council talking about a home invasion in her apartment complex likely a venezuelan gang he said the following, i will get your take. apologies, she.

she's tired of being a downplayed, what you think about her comments. >> i agree, criminal to come here, across the border, let me tell you something that probably has not made the news until now. i substitute teach at an elementary school. last week we had two venezuelan students who came in with bullets. not only do we have criminals here, but we also have people who have access to guns, to drugs and we have talked about that on the show, we have talked about the fact that venezuela did empty their prisons to send people here. we do not necessarily know who we have. i am telling you when my mayor stands up to say that he is going to protect the needs and rights of migrants, over citizens, that is a problem! >> trace: very quickly for you john, they do keep downplaying

this, it's only one apartment building! >> yes, it become problematic we talk about chicago, since the start of migrants started coming to the city of chicago, in 20221 year we saw venezuelan crime go up 11000% in the city of chicago and just when you're. people are fed up with what they are seeing, and it must come to an end, thank god january 20 it is around the corner because donald trump is going to put an end to it. >> trace: thank you both for coming on. meantime robert f. kennedy jr. back on capitol hill today working to gain support among senators who will decide weather to confirm him as the secretary of health and human services. live in west palm beach with the latest, on the trump transition, at evening. >> good evening, barnstorming the hill, meeting with a total of nine senators including the incoming majority leader, john now, rfk jr. was avoiding

questions about policy in the hallway, but he did at least say the meetings were really productive. he face pointed questions behind closed doors with more to come, from those who have yet to meet with them. rfk jr. reassuring people he intends to fall in line with trump. this, as fox obtained a new video being hauled away and so for pennies on the dollar, which trump is fuming about as he looks to restart wall construction on day one.

finally we have another pick from the transition team, trump nominating the heisman trophy winner, nfl grade her she walker >> trace: live in west palm, thank you. the fox news and nigh common sense department is a question for california governor gavin, is he serious? if you have not heard he slamming the department for government efficiency or doj saying its quote, a promo project. california was a leader in a doj before doj was doj." interesting because three years ago california had 100 billion-dollar budget surplus, now it's $55 billion deficit. common sense is no math whizz but 155 billion-dollar negative swing is the opposite of a doj,

it's actually the department of government in inefficiency in california in three years spent $24 billion on homelessness. but failed to track the money, and the outcome saw the money go , god knows where, and the number of homeless increased dramatically, that is not doj, that is a government of stupidity and the california bullet train, l.a. toward san francisco in three hours the project was approved in 2008 to be completed in 2020, it is almost 2025 and the bullet train is decades behind schedule and 100 billion over budget. that is not doj, that is department of government boondoggle or he. let's bring in...

watch this! common sense would ask again is he serious? >> it's a joke, he's a joke, this is totally preposterous, to add to the fact that you just laid out there quite correctly. in the last 10 years most of which we had under gavin the budget of the government of california has nearly doubled, even as our population has been flat or falling, is everything twice as good? you speak to ellie can -- any california resident as i always do, everything is worse.

the roads are worse, the schools are worse, and yet they have doubled the budget. it's a complete joke and everybody knows it. >> trace: senator erica said this about biden auctioning off parts of the border wall for pennies, listen to him. we have to buy the stuff back for hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild that wall or continue building the wall. >> he is right the word that comes to mind a sabotage, the america people have said this is the agenda they want, they want to secure border instead of helping the president be successful, they are sabotaging and before he even gets in there and we pay the price. >> trace: it's crazy, meantime we have senator mark saying this about the rfk jr. confirmation.

i get his theme, passion is one thing but steve, votes are another does rfk jr. have the votes in the senate to get there? >> he must have the votes because what are they objecting to you? are they saying he's not qualified or that there is something in his path that means he can't serve? they cannot oppose this on policy grounds! has to be really clear, this agenda that make america healthy again, is a strong thing in the trump campaign, everything rfk jr. was fighting for trump backed it. this focus on curing chronic disease, all of that stuff, they cannot object to it, americans voted for it, there is a mandate for it and unless they find something completely extraordinary, they must vote for him. >> trace: meantime bill, woman who might be your next governor

once young people to fight, watch this! it sounds like she wants to stay in the game? >> i still don't know what she's talking about. >> the only thing young people are fighting for is to survive and afford to live in states like california. they are suffering under the policy democrat leadership and there is not a single republican diploma california so what is it they are fighting for? >> trace: it's crazy, breaking news i want to play the video because this is a new york city, it was protesters and they had signs defending luigi manji only -- luigi mangione. they are literally holding a rally for murdering more ceos.

>> it's completely sick and evil and stunning to people that this is what we get, it's very important to remember the context here, this is the left today, so when they start lecturing us about compassion and equity, and a social justice and all the other things he cannot with these other people that are calling for murder selector member that. >> trace: it's like hamas these rallies, it's amazing to me they are literally calling for the next death. >> this is the product of radical society, remember, most communism was put in place through violence. that's exactly what the left is promoting. >> trace: i saw pictures and i saw, -- and i thought, oh, my goodness where have we gone? thank you both. coming up the liberal media now struggling to get viewers back after trump's reelection former msnbc anchor keith has an idea. to double down on the far left content. later in the night, a new poll showing 41% of voters between

the ages of 18 and 29, find the united health care ceo killing, acceptable! or somewhat acceptable! what is going on? why are young people justifying murder? let us know, twitter and instagram. we will read your responses, coming up in the nightcap. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪

>> trace: they received breaking tonight new video of an anti-ceo demonstration outside of a leadership seminar in manhattan protesters chanting, free luigi! holding signs that say, more dead ceos! it's a direct message to the

jailing of luigi mangione for the shooting death of the united health care ceo brian thompson. he could be extradited to manhattan from a prison in pennsylvania, as early as this week. meantime a new emerson college poll says that 41% of voters aged 18 words 29 believe the cold-blooded murder was somewhat or completely acceptable! another 19% of those 18 towards 29-year-olds were neutral meaning, of those polled 60% of those would not condemn the killing. which is astounding.

liberal media continuing to struggle to cope with donald trump's election victory, providing plenty of flight for the nightly media panel coming up, let's bring in fox news contributor joe and a journalist , think you both are coming on. you first, you heard stephanie say, listen donald j. trump did not do the interview but at least he was available, i kind of shows even the far left realizes that both biden, harris are in a bubble. >> absolutely, people don't realize how deep the bubble goes. the vast majority people on the left and democrats never interact with people they disagree with. they cancel them, then followed them, the -- they don't have any conversations with working-class people and an ever talk to conservatives, they literally cut them out of their lives and that bubble goes so deep they

have no idea how the majority of americans to the world. >> trace: yes, joe, this was written about -- they should have been fired quoting, the audience is exhausted and need to break it will be back the resistor and resist dear the never suffering, but obviously you have to fire and continue the largely benign political coffee show without them. it sounds like the entire msnbc network is in flux but saying, you have to get rid of it. >> if anybody knows about getting fired its keith. limit get this straight, he thinks american viewers are clamouring for more left content and argument? hoping this news network should continue to scream that trump is a russian agent or hitler or fascist, thrown in jail? yes, that will boost ratings but the bottom line is that trump won the popular vote, this is a centre-right country, msnbc

going more to the left leaving them with more employees than viewers. besides taking advice from crazy people, keith, would be ill-advised at this point. >> trace: yes, he and dan were great together, this was at about trump's pledge to not revoke the polio vaccine, watch! these vague generalities, people believe there is no facts, nothing, absolutely no meat on the bone and yet they keep going. would he think about this? >> it's so amazing how they have invested so much time and energy repeatedly calling trump a liar, a person who always tells you exactly what he thinks, and meantime you look at the left

and the lies they have told about donald trump. they escalated that lying so much that finally, the majority of americans were like, enough of this we know who he is, all they do is lose their own kind ability when they continue to lie about him. including calling him a liar. >> trace: it really is amazing, meantime on the left america a.k.a. the obama brose had the following to say, a little truth telling right here. yes, again we should remind you that joe biden is in delaware

for the weekend, it's tuesday... >> well, five day weekend, donald trump is the acting president right now even if he has not been inaugurated he was the one that was at notre dame paris, he was the one who met with mccrone, he negotiated with mexico, the one threatening tariffs, until they help secure the borders and they are already talking, yesterday he was able to get the ceo of softbank, a huge company to pledge $100 billion in u.s. investment and again, he is not even the president yet. meanwhile we have not heard from joe biden except for one he set another record for pardoning clemency's. >> trace: great to hear from you both, thank you for coming on. coming up a new pledge to protect women in sports and republican senators, to the head of the ncaa plus fox news at night favourite comedian, joining us live on set, with his theory on the drones. his take, minutes away.

>> trace: senate hearing on sports betting today became contentious when the focus shifted to transgendered athletes but to submitting women's sports, louisiana senator john kennedy specifically calling out ncaa president charlie. let's bring in levi's former chief brand officer the founder of athletics, jennifer along with former ncaa division swimmer, independent women forum, think you both for coming on you heard charlie there, john kennedy, got him to say

that biological males competing against females is inherently unfair, but then he said the following, watch this! it amazes me how there is not clarity and yet they pick the side of the judge who really has not made a decision. >> yes, it's completely wild to me but also this is not an issue of law, at this is an issue of a biological reality. we should not need judges or anybody like that to say anything about this, we should be able to look at men and women and know that it is unfair for men to compete in women's sports. charlie baker, time and time

again has continued to put the response a million other people, and this is another example of him doing just that. >> trace: here's senator josh talking about locker room access, watch. 's kind of amazing that we talk about this, women need to make the decision. >> i would be astonished that a leader of this poor government body will never do the right thing. until they are shamed into it, i was a gymnast for decades, and took up the sides of the coaches, at the end of the day

they are cowards, they are cowards and they have no sense seemingly. >> trace: it's amazing, mark posted this on twitter quoting today, in the 1950s resisting the red scare was the height of cool, in 2010, being woke was the height of cool, starting 2025 resisting woke is the height of cool, do you believe that? >> i mean, it definitely is a resistant movement, i know myself, i am generation z but it is unpopular to be conservative, so it does it feel like a resistance movement but i do hope that we come to eventually have a common place for us to talk about conservative values and conservative beliefs and by the way, men and women sports should not be a conservative value but there are other issues that are considered common sense to most but are considered fringe and unpopular to people in my generation. >> trace: meantime, the sports

apparel company that protects the women's sports, what is the goal here? >> the goal is to give voice to help amplify the voices of those women who are brave enough to stand up and call out this nonsense that charlie baker is refusing to collapse -- to call out. when these women stand up they will not stand alone and we want to reward their courage so we are excited to platform them. >> trace: we appreciate both of you, think you. -- thank you. very funny, hilarious, yes.

let's bring in fox news at night favourite comedian, it's rare to have you on the show. put the bug up -- put the book up. >> you have to pick it up for the family, it's a lot of fun. >> trace: speaking of magazines and books, donald trump, the president-elect named "time" magazine person of the year, again! >> what's amazing about that is this guy was going to be put in jail one and a half years ago but now he was on times person of the year and if he wins "people" magazine man alive that could be the trifecta. >> trace: meantime speaking of time there is a word that donald trump could, might get rid of daylight saving time altogether, it would not bother me one bit! >> i have not met a single person who wants to keep daylight savings in tact.

i think we should get away with it and get rid of it forever. >> trace: it's amazing, this horrific video we showed with these people supporting luigi mangione and these people saying more ceos need to be killed, and meetings are picking up on this and they are doing this because it is so crazy on the left, what is your take on this? >> it's carried the fact that if you are cute, that women and some men, will say -- these are the same girls that saves a red flag if you take the cheesecake factory or bring up children to early on a first date or whatever, they say to flag but then they are secretly about how much they love this luigi mangione guy. >> trace: meantime you were in phoenix this weekend at the and fast a big deal it turned out to be a big gathering. >> it's a big victory lap for some people. charlie kirk put this out, he's

amazing. now i'm the second most famous comedian. >> trace: we are working on it. >> what i want to tell everyone it's come find me in phoenix and i brought you a gift for christmas. you get this book and your fans because you have so many of them, the first 1000 people to message me online, i don't care if it's facebook, instagram, they are going to get a free ticket to my next show. >> trace: best of luck to you, once you go persian, a survival guide from you. apparently a good portion of a generation z is softening the idea of cold-blooded murder, as a new poll shows 41% of young voters think the killing of united health care ceo was acceptable. another at 19% were neutral, that means 60% would not condemn the killing. why are young people justifying murder?

>> trace: back with the nightcap crew, kevin, bill, steve, jennifer, tonight's topic

justified means, you polls show 41% of voters between 18 and 29 find the united health care ceo killing, acceptable. or somewhat acceptable. what in the world is going on here? >> well the same people think that it is social justice and progress for males to beat women in the boxing ring so their moral compass has gone haywire. you will jump the shark with this kind of action, so we are heading towards the end of it. >> trace: i was was amazed kevin, another 19% were neutral which means you have 60% of those who were polled that would not condemn the killing of the ceo, i find that very surprising. >> is repulsive by the way i love the happy days reference, jumping the shark in d, in this circumstance it is inexplicable, it is evil and it reminds us that you have to really cultivate young people and teach

them sensitivity to humanity is important. >> trace: steve? >> i think there is an excellent nation, it is what is going so terribly wrong in our education system in the public schools in the way the values are expressed in our society but the good news is that there are people fighting back. that is the answer we have to fight, for the values we believe >> it makes me sick because that is the exact age group on my tender search and ladies, you have to do a better job, you have three single guys here, three -- go with the guys who believe in good morals, good values you have them right here. >> i'm kind of at a loss for words, it's repulsive, i think it's coming from the same social justice circle or crossover with palestine we saw, people who live online in their little -- in their little echo chamber. always looking to blame

somebody. it's ridiculous. >> it's stunning where is the moral compass of these kids? one of the first amendments, one shall not kill. >> trace: society has told them fears that ceos are not deserving of what they are paid in these kids believe they deserve it and said, the result of marxists indoctrination, for their entire life's mega has been the evil villain, they have been desensitized to murder, they like the bad boy mentality, people hate the current health care system but that does not justify killing the father of two. brainwashed by their teachers and out of touch with reality. thank you for watching, americas a late fox news at night, in los angeles i will see you back here tomorrow night. ♪ ♪
