>> when i was thinking was to push on his stomach and that would push air up and i do know the heimlich, but i just never have done it. you should never be afraid to help people. >> aishah: he has a bow tie and he knows -- what a great kid. >> rich: eight years old. he knows the heimlich maneuver. >> aishah: do you? >> rich: i have but never done it before. >> aishah: you have to teach me. i need to learn how to swim and learn the heimlich maneuver. i live alone and my deepest fear that i choke and die alone on a grape. >> rich: learn both things. >> aishah: good to be with you.

"the faulkner focus" is next. >> julie: president-elect trump is not backing down to get tough on immigration pledging to mass deportations on day one. this is "the faulkner focus." i'm julie banderas in for harris, some democrat-led municipalities are vowing to be the quote resistance to an incoming trump administration's immigration policy but others are leaning in to help with some counties being granted limited ice powers. incoming border czar tom homan said he wants to talk and meet with all mayors about the importance of working together. >> president trump and i have said out of the gate public safety threats are our priority. help us get the job done. everybody -- it shouldn't be a partisan issue. everybody should be on the same page. we are talking about criminals, public safety threats. let's work together. immigration officers, we'll do that. be cops and law enforcement and be elected representatives for your community. love your community a little

more than you hate trump. >> julie: a congresswoman joins us in a moment but first to brooke taylor from dallas, this morning. good morning. >> yes, some local agencies are already partnering up with ice under this 287g program. specific officers are trained to ask anyone questions behind bars about their immigration status. so if they are here illegally, then the jail will contact ice and let them know and basically flag them. not everybody department, though, is signing up for this. take a look at the illegal migrant who iced to pick up off the streets after they had been released from jail. their charges range from rape to assault. but they were still released on bond with ice holds either ignored or ice never notified. here is the latest example of what can happen when these suspects are let go. a shoot out in a new orleans meat market.

one suspect was facing criminal charges out of new york. the sheriff right here in texas says he didn't want that happening in his community. >> it's another way to protect the public because taking a suspect or someone who has committed a crime and making sure that they do make it through the criminal justice system. >> and the sheriff tells us after they flag ice, it is then up to ice to issue an immigration detainer or pick the suspect up. supporters say if more departments did this, it might save lives. >> i believe that the crimes that are committed by people that are undocumented are 100% preventable crimes and we should address them as such. >> departments in 20 other states already participate in this 287 program. under a new trump administration, more are expected to join. julie. >> julie: thank you very much. the democratic resistance to the incoming trump administration is

growing. the oregon attorney general is creating a sanctuary toolkit as they call it to help residents refresh their knowledge of the state's relevant laws. specifically those related to sanctuary policies. gavin newsom is also reportedly considering a quote immigrant support plan he is calling it, to counter those deportations. the program would connect at-risk individuals and their families with community systems such as legal services and schools. arizona republican congresswoman says this. >> why would democrats want to provide a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants and prioritize illegal over american citizens? i don't get it. but they've been doing this for years. i have been in the state legislature, then in congress, and they keep prioritizing illegal immigrants over u.s. citizens. it is a real head scratcher. i don't get it.

>> so far six blue cities so far have strengthened their sanctuary laws since trump's election win. incoming border czar tom homan has a simple warning for those jurisdictions. get out of the way. but, of course, some democrats are digging in. >> we are not going to cooperate or ask our police force to serve as ice agents. >> i will do everything i can to protect our undocumented immigrants. they're residents of our state. >> i will fight you every step of the way. >> if it's contrary to our values, we'll fight to the death. >> would the massachusetts state police assist in mass deportations? >> no, absolutely not. we are not cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear. >> julie: texas republican congresswoman beth van dine, a member of the ways and means and small business committees joins me now.

thank you for talking to us. >> thank you for having me on. >> julie: i want to talk about this program 287. this is the wave of the future. this should be enacted in every single state. mass deportations will be hard enough but a lot of those that are being deported are repeat criminals. if an immigrant is jail won't be released into the public but handed over to ice. even somebody who commits a dui. doesn't have to be a violent crime. you commit a crime, go back to your country. why would any democrat want to promote allowing these illegal immigrant criminals to go back onto the streets to reoffend? >> you just saw them, too. my democrats colleagues having people here getting stopped for things like dui go back. we just had a vote on that recently in congress. the question is why? i can't answer that. i've had experience with this personally when i was mayor in

the city council. i was a big supporter of 287g. we created a program in my city of irving, texas and worked partnership with ice, with ill grecian and customs enforcement. when you have your local law enforcement agents and police working with federal agents it's a great partnership. democrats, you tried it your way and seen what happened. you've seen women who have been put on fire in your subways and mobs taking over apartment complexes and murders and rapes. you've seen beatings of police officers. we've tried it your way. why don't you try enforcing the law and working with federal law enforcement and protecting your citizens. it works. we had a lot of criticism when i did it in irving, texas. what we saw was the lowest crime rates our city has ever had. the fifth safest city in the country. people wanted to move in. i am supportive of tom homan and working with him. i sent a letter to mayors in my

district we want to teach you more about this partnership and have the resources you need. we'll be having round tables and invite tom to come and see if he wants to address any of our mayors, local law enforcement and tell them how to do it better. this is republicans and democrats in the representative cities should be doing. >> julie: this is something that both republicans and democrats should be doing for the american people. what any new yorker would want to see done. crime rate in these cities are astronomical especially since the pandemic. a lot of these cities that are democratic cities continue to welcome crime by busing in and allowing illegal immigrants to live for free in hotels. it has to stop. incoming border czar tom homan said this about the cost not just the human toll, but the cost of the administration's border plans. watch? >> congress needs to fund this deportation operation. they need to understand, yeah, it will be expensive in the beginning but in the long run

save billions of taxpayer money. talking about the biggest national security vulnerability this country has. $86 billion is a start. we need at least that to do this operation. >> julie: so $86 billion from congress. you know obviously that the democrats are going to argue against that. an opinion piece that argues there shouldn't be a price tag for border security saying quote securing the border will cost money but leaving it open will be far more expensive. u.s. taxpayers were on the hook for over 150 billion to support illegal aliens in 2023. according to a new report from the department of government efficiency. democrats have no leg to stapled on when it comes to over spending. the trillions of dollars this country is in debt on pork b.s. this administration has spent money on. this is the future. and the money you can't put a dollar or a price tag on women

and children that are being abused daily and kill. >> you see sex trafficking, human trafficking, drug trafficking, gang violence. they are trying to put a price tag on it. does newsom have so much money to give it away to people illegally? you are incentivizing people to come into your cities and country and into neighborhoods and committing these crimes. you are incentivizing. if they have that much money they don't need to receive it from the federal government. if you are a sanctuary and not doing your best to protect your citizens, you should not be getting congressionally delegated funds. i have introduced that bill and see how much democrat support it gets. we have a $36 trillion budget and seen hundreds of thousands people killed as a result of fentanyl deaths because you got all this stuff coming in over our borders.

and they are spending -- rand paul came out with a list of government waste. we're sending millions of dollars to other countries to protect their borders, democrats are supporting that spend and recognizing they need it in other countries but don't respect it in our own country. >> julie: they don't deserve to be reelected and the american people need to speak up. this is not going to win elections or win over the american people. i want to switch gears for a second. president-elect trump's department of government efficiency is already facing pushback from the biden administration and democratic lawmakers on capitol hill. musk and ramaswamy say the goal here is to slash billions in federal spending. some of their priorities include deleting the i.r.s., ending the federal reserve, and ending remote work, privatizing the mail service and while the agency could face challenges on

capitol hill, kentucky senator rand paul says he is hopeful for this new agency. listen. >> ultimately it takes congress. congress has to get rid of the spending. doge can point out the spending problems and the waste the same way i've been pointing it out. the reason it is not eliminated they don't have the votes to get rid of the spending. i'm hopeful that doge will draw attention to this. >> julie: what do you make of this? obviously cuts need to be made and you need to make those cuts in order to be able to afford other things. i love the idea of making people go to work. what a concept, gee. >> i was part of the trump administration's first go around. i worked at hud and three day a week telework before covid hit. people in the office i never met because they figured out how to take their two days off supposed to be in the office on vacation or event or something like that. how do you build a team when you don't have people coming to work not to mention the waste that we spend on leases.

you could shoot a cannon through many federal buildings and not touch a soul because they are empty. but we spend all that money on leases every year. there is a lot of loss, and abuse. there is a lot of waste. i can't imagine anybody defending the waste. why would you spend billions of dollars on lease money for buildings that are empty? who does that help? it doesn't help the american citizens. it continues to take tax dollars and divert them away from programs we actually do need to programs that are a waste. i'm hopeful. i've talked about regulations and cutting them for years now. it won't be sexy, exciting or make a headline. was i wrong. you put people like vivek and musk in charge of it and that's what happens. i'm optimistic. once the democrats start seeing, these are the programs that are on the line, it will not affect your residents except in a positive manner. government will run more

efficiently and be more effective. those the positive things we should all be for and i'm supportive of this effort on the part of the doge caucus. i have gone to meetings with elon and vivek and what they are saying needs to be said and excited to take some of the ideas they say and put it into appropriations. >> julie: i look forward to the change coming around the corner. great to see you, happy holidays. biden is beach bound, shocker, as critics call out his absence in final days of office. even some democrats are accusing him of quiet quitting with just 25 days left in office. plus after a resounding election loss, the democratic party is looking to reset. one strategist says the party's brand is in the toilet. >> there has been a shift in the parties. the republican party is the party of the working class, democrats became a party of the

>> julie: a terrifying christmas day scene in one of new york city's tourist hot spots. a yellow taxi cub jumped a curb plowing into six pedestrians outside of harold square macy's. three victims were hospitalized including a 9-year-old boy on christmas day. we have the story in new york city. this appears to be an accident. nonetheless, horrifying, cb. >> >> definitely scary. we're right across the street from that iconic macy's. this is where it unfolded. the taxi driver jumped the curb and still signs of the crash. the broken car glass here.

a total of six people were hit bringing chaos to this area known for its foot traffic especially during the holiday season. it unfolded at 4:00 p.m. yesterday. the driver suffered a medical emergency. officers say a 9-year-old boy with a cut on his thigh, a woman with a head injury and woman with a leg injury and the tax' driver were taken to the hospital. three other women refused medical treatment. his wife is okay after he was hit said he tore off the fender on the cab to get to the little boy. when he did he made a shocking discovery. >> the tires were spinning out and noticed a little boy that had got hit trapped under the tire. as we moved the car back, realized there was what ended up being his mom underneath the car. she was coherent. i didn't inspect her by any stretch but she was talking to

her son and smiling and trying to keep him calm. the little boy was amazing. unbelievably tough. he made the comment to me he said this is the worst holiday ever. but no tears. >> what a brave little boy. the good samaritan says the injured mother and son were visiting from australia. he called that little boy the toughest 9-year-old he ever met. as for the investigation, it is still ongoing. no charges have been filed right now. this crash came at a time when the nyp was on heightened alert where the market attack in germany where an immigrant drove his car into a crowd of people. >> julie: thank god no one was killed in this case. democrats are facing challenges after loosing the white house,

house and senate. a new article democrats need to heal the fractures for find a new candidate. the 2024 election revealed the depth of the party's fractures. it is difficult to foster rising talent. they are mired in internal resentments and conflicts and sticking with the reckless culture of vilification, cancellation and hypocrisy. senator ron johnson with this. >> democrats have put this country on a path of destruction. open borders, 40 year high inflation. weakness globally. president trump is reassigned the politics and now the republican party represent the working men in america. working men and women of america who built this country, who love this country and the democrats are representing the elite and just these whacko woke ideas. >> julie: democratic strategist said the party is in the toilet.

many of the democrats are people who ran against the democratic party brand who succeeded in this cycle. democrats are adrift as donald trump prepares to take power. party has yet to land on a clear message or a leading messenger. power panel now, matt, principle of the vogel group, dan, former hillary clinton senior advisor and ceo of arc initiatives. thank you both for talking to me today. matt, i will start with you. the democrats really do need to get their act together. what they need to do is sit down, sit back, turn on your ears or listening ears as i tell my children and listen to the will of the american public. the way they bombed on illegal immigration is problem number one. a lot of the far left leaning or as they call them whacko woke need to actually start listening to maybe more moderate views, don't you think? >> absolutely, julie. in your story with congresswoman van dine shows in the blue

cities they just don't get it. they would rather protect illegal immigrants who are here either criminally, with criminal backgrounds or just illegal immigrants over american citizens and they are pumping their chest over it after being pounded at the ballot box. i do think in that report she was dead on. there was a "new york times" interview where one of the democrat consultants actually said that the party was in the toilet. another one said well, a toilet has utility. right now our party and its message doesn't even have the utility of a toilet. that's pretty much where they are. the opportunities for republicans now are sitting in front of them. president trump has to stay on message and do what he said he was going to do when he ran for president. if he does that we could look at a reagan-like era of republicanism for the next generation. >> julie: i have to agree, matt. we have to agree toilet has great utility. the democrats need to flush a

lot of their ideas down the toilet and start from scratch and thinking for realistically, as fetterman put it. start using common sense. >> i think john fetterman right now is the strongest voice in the democratic party. >> julie: would you believe it? i know, who would have thought. >> i would love to see president trump sit down with him and try to come up with ways to make his ben nelson. the guy that george w. bush also reached out to. fetterman knows the working class people in his state voted overwhelmingly an enthusiastically for donald trump. >> julie: you are absolutely right. dan, that's the thing. people are voting for donald trump that never thought they would vote for donald trump. not only some republicans who never thought they would vote for him but even democrats are voting for him. why do you think that? the need for change has never been greater in this country and that's what the democrats need to recognize. they need to change their party

all together. >> well julie, it will surprise you. i do think democrats need a brand look in the mirror and from my perspective we stand for protecting the affordable care act, protecting healthcare costs and making sure pre-existing conditions aren't a barrier. we stand for jobs, minimum wage, capping insulin, the sandwich generation policies unveiled in this campaign that help people who have kids and elder parents pay for those that sandwich squeezed situation that they're in. of course, creating jobs. that's the agenda. the problem we have, i think as a brand and party is it's not enough to have the agenda and have the policies, people need to know you are on their side. at some points the democratic party sometimes can want to win the argument with voters and tell them they're wrong about something rather than tell them we're with you. the election itself was not some mandate thumping election across the country.

democrats won for senate in wisconsin and michigan and governor north carolina. democrats picked up a seat in the house. the popular vote was a 1.5% spread. very narrowly decided. i think republicans won the election fair and square. democrats have work to do. i wouldn't think you should think about it as a mandate and mass deportations are not popular with american people. having billionaires dictate biles by tweeting is not popular with the american people. we have a mandate and obligation as democrats to get back to the messaging and put working class voters front and center, we will. republicans shouldn't look at it as a big moment. >> julie: as far as mass deportations, the idea here is to get the criminals out. to get every single illegal im grant out of this country is not going to happen for a while

and never happen, it's impossible. to get illegal immigrants committed violent crime, you have california democrats that are trying to make it easier for illegals to stay and reoffend and commit crimes and kill americans. that's the law they're setting up in these sanctuary cities. you have to see that. democrats have to wake up. >> there was a border bill that james langford, conservative strong bill bipartisan that donald trump tanked in the election. he wanted the conflict and politics. >> julie: he wanted to close the border. why not close the border? why is that such a hard debate? >> work for folks to keep families together and have a stool that solves the problem. republicans have wanted the politics and chaos. it served them at the ballot box. democrats need to get back on the table with republicans. >> julie: republicans don't want the chaos at the border.

they don't want the chaos at the border. that's the whole point of trying to close the borders in order to ratify our illegal immigration problem and bring down crime and save american jobs. we have to move on. i'm sorry that all the time we have. thank you for talking to us, smaller vehicles are selling faster as buyers feel a budget crunch. how inflation is changing and how americans purchase a car. a look back at the year in health from ozempic, food recalls and social media. what you may have missed.

thousand. it is a sub compact s.u.v. according to edmonds, sales of s.u.v.s and compact cars soreed in 2024. truck sales shot up. car experts say 2025 will be another hot year for small cars. cars are expensive now with the average price of a car sitting at more than $47,000. still they say consumers shelled out less for new cars last year. the average price down.8%. the market for larger trucks and some s.u.v.s have softened. mid size s.u.v.s fell 2.3%. >> inflation, high interest rates contributed to consumers looking to buy vehicles that are a little more affordable. as we look into the 2025 we'll see that trend continue until we see the market start to course

mcdonalds restaurants across 14 states. the food system is becoming more complicated. >> i think the government is under resourced when it comes to food safety. >> america's surgeon general handing down several warnings this year. the first that firearm violence in america is a public health crisis as the number of deaths and injuries from guns increases exponentially. >> it is important to be thinking about this as a public health perspective. >> called on congress to require warning labels on social media platforms saying they pose serious dangers to the mental well-being of kids and teenagers. reproductive rights remaining in the headlines this year. major supreme court ruling following the overturning of roe v. wade giving doctors in idaho to provide abortions in emergency situations when a woman's health is at serious

the mass clemency, for example. critics argue remaining inactive on issues now will become the legacy. yesterday the president made a reflective post that began for the last time as your president it is my honor to wish all of america a very merry christmas. president-elect trump shared well wishes from mar-a-lago. then he took to a more active approach to messaging. in one he wrote in part merry christmas to all, including the wonderful soldiers of china lovingly but illegally operating the panama canal. panama's president has denied beijing holds any control over the canal. china invests heavily and own two ports there. trump has advocated for reclaiming possession of it. yesterday trump clocked in again announcing miami-dade commissioner kevin cabrera as emotion -- ambassador to

panama. and he said to the people of greenland, needed for u.s. national security purposes. he expressed interest in greenland with denmark's prime minister but they say the island is not for sale. president trump promised to keep sending weapons ---biden promised to keep sending weapons to ukraine. >> julie: thank you so much. let's bring in jason chaffetz. fox news contributor and former utah congressman. i don't think anybody should be surprised biden is heading off to the beach. it is too cold to go to the beach in delaware. >> how many beaches are there that the president is going to go to? he has been to each coast. headed back to the virgin islands. i didn't know he had any more vacation time left. he has nothing to do for the next 30 days.

i engage with him frequently. alert, sound. >> he is the president of the united states. you know, i can't even keep up with him. >> that is not a question we should be even asking. >> joe biden is an extremely accomplished, experienced, and capable in every way that anyone would want as their president. >> julie: lie after lie. an opinion piece calls it the lie of the year. the scope of the lie was enormous. the consequence was historic. biden cost the democratic party any prayer of winning the 2024 election by staying in the race and dropping a live grenade in the lap of kamala harris, unequipped to handle it. it is incredible. you just saw joe, who is like sitting there talking and praising biden, now hanging out with trump at mar-a-lago.

amazing how the media figures flip-flop like that. >> that montage of quotes is stunning. joe biden was elected in 1972. let this be a notice to everybody in this country. don't let somebody sit in washington in a powerful position for literally decades. there is nothing good to come of that. this is a four-year cover-up. a four-year story. the more time passes the more we'll be horrified by the idea that he wasn't actually in control. he wasn't running the white house. i don't know if it's jill biden, hunter biden, who knows who it is, but there were powerful people behind the scenes that were pulling a lot of these levers and, you know, i think america figured it out. they figured it out before joe scarborough and everybody else. >> julie: we don't know who was running the white house. it wasn't joe biden. who was making all these
