german christmas market investigators police are about to provide an update. welcome everyone i am edward lawrence this is a "fox news live." let's get right to stephanie bennett with the latest on this attack. what's going on? >> at last check at least five people have been killed. more than 200 others are injured authorities say 41 of those art seriously injured. the cities and mayor said they will be holding a memorial service later tonight to honor the victims and a suspect is in custody. take a look at some of this footage from last night. the attack happened about 100 miles west of berlin. just a five days before christmas the market was packed of people spending their friday night with family and friends, shopping and eating. witnesses say around 7:00 p.m. local time a rented black bmw drove it high-speed plug to the ground as a precaution of the christmas markets in many around the world.

up to their security include new york city. markets have added things like 20% security steel concrete barriers just as precautions for local reports say the market will not reopen this year the prime minister said quote we will fly the flags at half mask to express a tragedy is taking place here we all share in the suffering that has been inflicted it. that's a local prime minister. german chancellor visited the site this morning, saying today it will be a day of grieving and morning. >> it is now important that we clarify the situation and this is done with the utmost precision and accuracy. nothing must remain uninvestigated. we must understand the perpetrator. his action, his motives so that we can respond with the necessary criminal and other consequences. and we will. >> a 50-year-old saudi arabia doctor for scavenger may 2006 is

in custody part authorities have not yet released a motive but said he was acting alone today they will be focusing on his background will be checking things like his internet history and his cell phone. this comes almost eight years to the day when 12 people were killed in berlin after a truck ran three christmas market their so-called islamic state said one of his soldiers cured up that attack. earlier this month the police say foiled on a christmas ma market. after eight tip off there. for now again as you imagine german police are expected to give an update shortly. hopefully will get more answers to a lot of questions. >> before you go i wanted to ask you one of the victims is a young child. of the 41 who are critical, could receive the death toll rise? >> yes, it is definitely search in the death toll will rise unfortunately. last night we know the two victims as you mentioned one being a very young toddler and also another adult 41 serious

condition out of 200, it is very serious right now. you just saw from those images how packed the christmas market was. of course the christmas markets loved around the world but especially burgeoning and germany this close to christmas as well as very disturbing, very upsetting. we will see hopefully out of this press conference with those numbers are looking like now. >> will more clarification the barricades a lot of markets of the barricades did this one have barricades? and how did they get around them? >> a lot of markets have started adding concrete or steel barriers. some that are permanent some that can be put in when the markets are there. some that pop up from the ground. different reports we have been hearing there were some concrete barriers. some of the footage you can see, it looks like they were spaced out a little bit. maybe they were removed on moven paramedics came in. it definitely, looking at the videos on social media that have been circling, the car had no

issue just kind of plowing through their unfortunately. when you think a concrete barrier it should be able to stop that car right in its tracks. so hopefully we get more information out of this press conference coming up. edward: the unthinkable coming out of london. to washington where they spent past the spending packs action. metal at rivera's digging deeper into the trauma on all of this. >> good morning. the white house at the spending bill does not have everything it want but better than the alternative or to government shutdown right before the holidays. white house press secretary saying in part of the bill, it includes disaster relief that the president requested for the community is recovering from the storm. it eliminates accelerated pathway to a tax cut for billionaires. and would ensure the government can continue to operate at full capacity. the senate passed the bill 85 -- 11 shortly after midnight by the house approved the bill earlier friday evening.

366 -- 34 with all 34 no coming from gop members. this package funds a government through mid-march. it's the result was speaker mike johnson third attempt to keep the government open. it caps off a chaotic week on capitol hill after present electronic and his ally elon musk pressured house republicans to sink the initial deal. johnson had hammered out with democrats. the final product was voted on last night is slimmer than the first proposal but it doesn't have one of chomsky asks which was to raise the debt limit. johnson insist trump ultimately accepts a spending bill. >> he knew exactly what we were doing and why. this is a good outcome for the country but i think he is certainly happy about this outcome as well. elon musk and i talked within about an hour ago. and we talked about the extreme wrichallenges of this job. >> speaking of the job all the spending fight raises questions as to whether johnson can keep his sprayed the speaker's vote s

scheduled for january 3. edward: thank you for this but the wrap on a very stressful week. certainly the past 48 hours per let's are the person who is on the inside of some of this drama with me and out republican texas congressman pat fallon. congressman, first thank you for being here with me. i'm sure was a late night for you. this funds the government until march 14. it does not suspend the debt ceiling is this really with thee country needs then? >> well, what we really need is to get to a small bridge over a small brook to get to republican unify governments. if we are really going to tackle the debt in deficits we have to have people in the room that are serious about it. that debt to gdp ratio by went to president trump the runway to come in and not have to immediately worry about funding the government but this gives us the 90 day runway. i think the american people and november 5 have spoken now we

have to deliver. edward: sources are telling fox that president-elect trump is not that happy about the bill it does not suspend the debt ceiling. he did not loudly voiced opposition to this bill. are you concerned about his concern? >> certainly. he is the quarterback and we went to all work together well but he's going to call the plays we are going to go in and execute. but the thing is we get sworn in on generally third he does not get sworn in until january 20. we do have two and a half weeks to take care of that. we could suspend the debt ceiling for a year or more. and focus on it limits and acts we had a couple of years ago. that was something that did reduce the debt to gdp ratio. that's what we need to be doing. edward: this extra spend whatever billy knows her federal disaster relief 10 billion to extend the farm bill. is this money well spent?

should this have been included? >> just because this is an act of god as an emergency no one foresaw. we have to take care of americans due to no fault of their own, have their lives turned upside down. and with the farmers, i mean, this is what i'm talking about never drink covid, they are essential for safe food on our tables and they are subject to the whims unfortunately active gods as well. this is something to get them through and then we have to pass a five-year farm bill in next year as well. edward: to zero in on the 100 billion in disaster relief. where does that money go? fema provides about $1 billion to organizations that provide migrant crossings that are crossing illegally with transportation and housing services. i want to be clear there is no diversion of money that fema is saying it. i am curious if fema just does not have enough money to go around that's why they needed some of this extra 100 million?

>> fema it should not be spending a dollar on anything like that. come generate 20th i don't think they will any longer. because that just encourages people to cross the border illegally pretty came to washington to try to do two things. to balance the budget. i know that's pushing people up a pretty large mountain. but try to do that and also secure the border. what joe biden has done the last four years has done neither and has exacerbated the issues. we have larger deficits. and as a result larger debt. we have a wide open southern border pit that is white kamala harris lost handily in november. edward: went to switch gears quickly and ask about the attack in germany but you are in the armed services committee five are dead in that awful act. with the border policy of the past four years, does this attack in europe because you pause for this holiday here in the u.s.? >> edward, great question but yes one 100% that's one of the reasons why we want a secure border pretty you protect your citizens if you are not safe

than you are not free. we have 10 million people under joe biden in the last four years that have come to this country illegally. we don't know who they are. in texas alone over the last 13 years we have had 513,000 cr crimes, 299,000 illegal emigrants have been charged with those crimes resulting at 187,000 convictions us just in texas you can imagine what that numbers have you extrapolate the number of the other 49 states. >> one more the last 30 seconds on the subcommittee national security. have you heard anything we need to be aware of over the next two weeks as americans then? >> nothing specific. when you have again, all of those folks and the threats not just from latin america from all over the world. there been exploited as well i don't begin every one of them are coming there for the american dream some. sosupport representative pat

you are looking live at philadelphia international airport right there. travelers are racing out to make it home for the holidays record one or 19 million americans expected to hit the roads and skies on christmas and new year's. winter storms are causing turbulence. already more than 2000 flights are delayed or canceled today on top of the 11000 we saw yesterday but fox weather brandy campbell is in brooklyn with the latest. i am convicts fox to weather never sent you to a warm percentage if someone sees you on the streets are in for a ride. >> i think the only time i see son is when i go home because i

live in miami but otherwise i think i'm stuck in a winter mode when i am working. look, thanks to those storms able here in the new york city area woke up to a snow covered city. this happening coincidentally on the first day of winter but i want to show you guys a video of what it looked like here earlier this morning we had pretty good sized flakes falling down over the town. helping this note stuck up reports are coming in new york city 1.7 inches of snow reported in central park not only to subversive measurable snow of the seats in a new york city it's the first measurable snow in december since christmas eve of 2021. oh over in jersey snow over 2 inches 3 inches in some places. 5 inches of snow reported. we spoke to residents who look forward to this. >> i'm happy that it is here because we need it. i feel like we don't have in a snow in the city the last couple of years this is good for us.

cook said that none of us went sick from yesterday. and now it is everywhere. gorgeous, gorgeous i love it. six more inches. alrighall right, this snow event caused a lot of havoc yesterday i joined those traveling via airplane like many others headed to boston where they also got snow, my flight was canceled. so now i am in new york today we are seeing hundreds of delays. the cancellations also starting to add up. most of those trouble spots are for the boston area airports and also comment here in new york city. good luck for those going home for the holidays. ramp up ramp-up starting today g through new year's day. between the delays in the record number of americans heading out, the prep to return home will be keekeeping let's ask your travel expert. first question driving or flying? as people prepare are there better times of day to make this

trip for the holidays? >> first of all that video did not make me too have eight because i'm flying to new york on monday for the holidays. [laughter] oh man, leaving los angeles for that. i am actually taking an early morning flight because of that reason. if delayed or canceled best chance of getting out later that day as things progress he fly in the middle of the day or towards the end of the day of your flight is canceled they are delayed you have a lot less of a chance of getting out. that would be mike's vise for sure. fly off peak times and days if you do not have to fly what everyone else is applying a better chance of getting home for quick sale be hard during in theholidays extra bag to hane gifts that they might get? how you approach that was flying? >> that is tricky. i hate checking bags i always suggest to people to send them ahead of time there's a lot of services now i will ship bags for you in a relatively reasonable price.

of course if you're expecting to get a lot of bags simon to bring an extra. or you can plan ahead and talk to your friends and relatives asked him to send gifts to your house and then you don't actually have to deal with it. but that kind of takes away from taking gifts out from under the tree. but it makes your life easier. >> or something but opening a gift under the tree kids love it, i love it. lots of travelers are looking for deals and f frontier airlinl you can fly past original going for $299. now at $499 for a years worth of unlimited fights are these deals were jumping on? what's it really depends where you live and where you want to fly. if you're in a hub city for fronfrontier and other airlinese this, it might be something to consider if you have the flexibility to travel pretty often at the drop of a hat. you only have a certain amount of time ahead of time you can book these. also it's not just free you paid the 499 you still have to pay

baggage fees and other fees it's buyer beware but at the same time if you w live in that area that might be worth checking out for you. >> they do not apply to every city as you mentioned prices burton you think airline fees are going que cosmic there at 4% over the last 12 months. >> edition travel related is going to be any cheaper in the new year. every holiday, this included is a record. i don't necessarily see that stopping. there is no inclination to tell you anything other than fees are going to continue to go up people paying the high prices hotels, airlines, everything else across the board it's actually insane considering people say they cannot afford eggs and milk but they can afford thousands of dollars to travel? >> not bring in the holiday cheer with that one. i'm going to hold you to that. thank you very much good luck on your travel to new york. happy holidays buddy.

>> for. >> youtube rate. >> as we wait for santa, could the fed chair jerome powell will be the grinch is how the federal reserve lowering rates again this week signaling will be half as many cuts in 2025. let's turn to the fed fan gary. management president fox news contributor. i'm joking about the fan part obviously. what do you think about the fed chachairman signaling to working americans? >> by the white nothing personal it's the fed it's purely business. my problem is note the fed is doing as far as the fed funds right now. while they have been lowering rates from five and a quarter on the low-end of four and a quarter, the 10 year yield has gone from 3645% on a scale of one -- 10 the real yield is what drives the bus. the fed the real yields are a tenant. if interest rates the real interest rates keep going up that's big trouble going forward

it's a headwind for the economy the feds may be missing the mark again if the rates go above 5% on the tenure they're going to have to start raising rates again that would be indicating inflation is picking up again. and that majored in debt and deficits going on right now from our government. >> that is important to everyone is what mortgage rates are based off of. you are talking possibly upward pressure on mortgage rates and money is more expensive if you're trying to buy a house for. >> leave no doubt the last two to three months are the home builders. they are the most interest rate sensitive. as interest rates go up they are coming doubt there is a one plus one equals two going on this is vital because i've been watching the 10 year yield up and down for years it's a dominating force for the markets as well as the economy. we do not want that getting out

of hand. right now it's going the opposite way of what jay powell has been doing. >> consumer spending is still strong. we have record credit card debt and the u.s. but i want to listen to the fed chairman we asked about clarity about how how low interest rates can go listless and said this. >> the markets would like to see a little more clarity about the youtcome 18 months out. at that moment it looks big. >> honestly there are countless models of what a neutral rate might be at any given time there are empirical models, there are things that combine them we have as many different answers that u would like. there is no real certainty. it's actually a good thing to know that we don't know exactly what it is. you are not tempted to think i think this model or this estimate is right. you have to be opened to the empirical data. quickset the fed speak for note clarity i'm not going to answer

what happens to the stock market that seems very focused on the fed and 2025? >> don't you feel so much better there is no clarity out of the man that has probably 1000 analysts out there. look, going forward and i cannot say this any louder any clearer there are couple factors out there that i think a big time. for the first two months of the fiscal year 624 billion-dollar deficit. that's a red rate of 3.7 trillion that the bond market wakes up and reacts to that who knows we could be six or 7% and then look out below. the other card is inflation. i do not think it has been beaten. the rate of inflation has come down prices or staying up there very sticky. prices are still going up a lot less so. if that starts to accelerate

again, all bets are off. i just worry if he gets too easy with this monetary policy that will sew the seeds combined with the massive spending coming out of the government. i keep my fingers ac crossed ber days are ahead. but again i watched the yield very, very closely and write notes heading north. >> gary i want to get this in the last 20 seconds we have a new survey from walt hub 60% of americans inflation biggest financial concern for the next year. should they be worried and when will prices come down? you got 20 seconds. >> that's what they're paying for they sit down at the table there much higher than the used to be. they're still going up a bit when you look at insurance prices, and so many other things it's out there that is what the consumers goin have to worry about as we move forward. >> 2025's going to be interesting. gary that we appreciated think of your insight. we are not just droning on about

drones the faa put a temporary bay on on them over parts of new york and new jersey pray to find out why. first the amazon workers are they leaving santa high and dry? the strike that could mean delays of your last-minute deliveries. ♪

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪. edward: look up buffalo that was called looks like santa at my need to bring in reinforcements teamsters drivers is striking at an amazon delivery hub across the country with less than a week until christmas. max gordon at digging deeper into this and that city of industry, california where the demonstration enters day three. >> day three of this strike. it appears to be expanding. new this morning a facility on staten island has joined in. let's take a look at what's going on at the city of industry at this amazon with it we have amazon delivery drivers blocking multiple entrances and holding up vans essentially they're trying to slow down operations. they are using us as an operation to talk to the drivers teamsters president sean o'brien joined the picket line.

>> the public should sympathize with how bad of an employer amazon is. how they'd missed treat their workers. miss and classify employees. the public should put pressure on amazon to say were not want to buy your products any more michigan than what they deserve what they want for. >> thousands of drivers for firms a contracted amazons walked off the job across the country across the country. the worker say they are demanding a folding chair contract with the healthcare wages and safety. hemp amazons had their operations are largely unaffected them in the last minute rush to deliver holiday packages. they also say their bully workers into joining since the workers are striking are not amazon employees, just contractors they have no reason to bargain with them. >> personnel there is no strike because there are no amazon employees or drivers who are involved in this activity. what we have as a protest that

has been created and manufactured by the teamsters. to make a point. >> teamsters union president sean o'brien said the strike will continue until amazon comes to the bargaining table he would not elaborate on exactly what concessions amazon needs to make to end the strike. >> is seem pretty far apart. let's find out what this means for you as you go buy online for last-minute gifts. retail watcher with us on whether the gifts will get under that tree in time what are you thinking about if you buy from amazon? looking with the parameters were for amazon delivery but right now they are saying if you order on prime 22nd is the last day you will be able to get your gifts before christmas on hanukkah. the 22nd if you what one day is going to be the 23rd. we are looking at hubs that are striking. as you see this is in california but the one in the hub is about

to strike as well. in terms of actually getting those deliveries, you are looking at a very small amount of people who are striking. considering how many different hubs there are around the country. maybe if you are in new york you might see a little bit of a delay. overall nationwide you are not going to see very much change to delivery. cook sits even the news of this push some people are skittish to walmart or target do you think? >> walmart and target are certainly hoping that. in terms of amazon being a part of our shopping culture, i've been covering this for 10 years but amazon's got more and more integrated into the way the consumer shot. shop it just from a convenience standpoint obviously retail analyst not an amazon spokesperson. no one does logistics better than amazon. we have gotten very used to that logistics pathway. that's how people shop, they're very used to that they're not going to part from that anytime soon. >> that coined the two day

shipping everyone is now gone to print one at 57 million americans are shopping today just four days before christmas the cult support saturday. are there any super deals left at this point? >> not to point the finger at amazon if you go on amazon some of the deals are really interesting. i have a 6-year-old twins i was looking at some of that between stuffer girls. it's quite prolific on that site. i've been telling people here down to the last minute you don't want to go to amazon, go to your local drugstore. i have to tell you they have edited the toy aisles for those drugstores very well your barbie, paul patrol, in some instances are trying to get that product out of the doors very quickly for holidays. to go to see discounts up to 28 -- 30% which is pretty much average. your local fedex. some of these self-help books and the notebooks these are all things people want to gravitate

towards. if you are really in a pinch do not be afraid to utilize the local drugstores and fedex to get those products. >> the probably will not be sold out that's not first on everybody's mind going to go to fedex and get a gift. before you conc concern about te credit card use any advice for buying gifts on that front? >> the consumers relied on the credit cards. this is interesting statistic i saw, during the craziness of black friday in 2 2009 in 2010, actually compared to the income that people had consumers were carrying more credit card debt back then then they aren't now. consumers are going out and utilizing their credit. if you are doing that i recommend you pay off your credit card every month. with rising interest rates, interest rates are coming down as quickly as we want them to come down. that's only going to exacerbate how much are going to have to pay on the credit card bill. try to pay those off if you have

cash to pay for it in cash. if it's a last minute, if it comes down to it it's really about hanging out with your family, don't focus on so much the stuff but focus on hanging out. quick sets of the holidays are about there about your family. do you have any tips or financial security what we are on this and holiday shopping? >> in terms of financial security, paying off your credit card every single month, that is one. try to stay within your means and not overspend that's really hard. but also using cash i put cash away and that's a really great budgeting tool. in the next couple of days or even into january and 2025 going old school. putting cash and envelopes using that as your guide is a best bet. >> with things i do i use points up the credit card i save up throughout the year end use them for christmas gifts. on the backdrop of all of this is of course inflation that is still persisting but where do you see prices heading for the goods that would bind 2025?

>> ais a religious in question. we sell the fed reserve decision, how they lowered the interest rate they were saying it might not go down, they are looking at a drop of two -- three times next year in 2025 that rocked the markets. i think because of that and knowing that we know prices will probably remain high. they're certainly coming down as a general consumer we have to have that in our minds. sticking to budgets is really important here. we don't want to think we are in the clear prices on goods would buy the grocery store are automatically going to come down fobut sticking to that budget ad knowing prices are not going to come down as quickly as we had anticipated in heaven that in the back of your mind unfortunately as we shot. >> i appreciate it thank you for this may be 2025 is the year of the budget.

of talk a lot of posturing there is been no action. we still have no idea what is going on. edward: senator richard blumenthal said that shoot a few out of the sky and figure out what's going on do you think they need to be shot down or some of them? >> it's a good question. first i'm going to say not by a citizen we are not going to try and shoot these things down in her backyard. were not going to try to catch these. we are not going to try to send up a hobby drone and take pictures. as i've said before the unintended consequences of this could be horrible and we don't want that. with that said, i do expect the federal government to step up and get one of these. there's plenty of space to get this. unfortunately, last year or the year before there is a big balloon apparently from china, that went across all of america aired and we did not do that

then. so i don't know if i've any faith in our current administration and current government to really step up and do anything. edward: generate 20th, that ends. why do you think no one can figure out where they are at landing or taking off from? they have been spotted in the sky. >> i do think we do know. i think our administration currently is absently useless. that's the difference between the current administration and the administration that is coming in. two weeks ago trump said the federal government knows exactly who this is and what they are doing. that is fine. why don't they tell us? if it is some kind of operation to remap something or whatever, that is fine. but now we are weeks into this. the biggest issue is this when we are not answering the american public's questions then hyou have all these conspiracy theories. when people are seeing every

single night on main stream media on youtube and x and the social platforms, they are seeing what's going on in syria and ukraine. they are saying is that something that could happen right here in new jersey? right here in america? we are not getting those answers. edward: you're still concerned obviously but what needs to materialize with this? >> i need them to step up. remember, we have elected these people for the whole idea about elected officials is at the end of the day they've got our back. so we can get on with life. christmas is what, less than a week away? right now it should be about family. it should be about thinking of others and yourself. what were going to do for the holidays, the gatherings, the reason for the season. and yet we are not getting any answers. i believe one of those reasons were not getting answers is because they went to bury it under christmas. so this way the american public

is not thinking about it anymore. it just goes away and boom it is gone. >> if you get an answer from your letter and when did you last hear about federal officials? do you expect more briefings before the end of the year? don't expect anything else. the administration has brought in technology or whatnot they brought in technology that is only capable of tracking last one in class to not class three in class four. these drones we are talking about that we are seeing are larger drones. they are not your typical drone. i say don't you think of something the size of your hands up and these are in no way, shape, form, that. it seems to me it's very convenient for their bring and technology that's not going to find an answer to this problem for the going to be able to say american public, do not believe your eyes. you're only seeing planes, stars, 1000 regular legally operated drones.

it is plausible deniability and we are sick of this. edward: didn't the governor at some level in new jersey needs to answer questions? has he engaged with you? >> he has engaged, boy he has engaged. yes, i believe he should. with that said i also believe the federal government. i believe both our estate and our federal government is letting us down. but unfortunately, we are kind of used to that. look at what is been happening over the last four years. absently useless these administrations are. edward: will see what happens come mid january but we appreciate mr. mayor thank you very much and hopefully we get answers for you and others wondering what dhec is going on up there. >> thank you a merry christmas to everyone. edward: at my christmas to you. new details emerging on the christmas market attack. we will tell you what officials are saying about the motive it now. plus republicans finally nailing down a deal to keep the government open.

hillsdale was founded in 1844. we're passing on a cultural heritage, the culture of the west. when the federal government started giving money to colleges, we didn't take it. that independence has allowed us to stay with our mission that we established 175 years ago. because we don't accept federal money. we are free to concentrate on the mission of the college. we care about freedom, and that affiliates us with the free institutions of america.
