national transportation safety board leading a u.s. team to south korea to help investigate a fiery plane crash that killed all but two of the 181 people on board. hello and welcome to "fox news live" i am molly line. sweetheart good afternoon i am rich edson. eric and arthel have the weekend off. the troubling questions about the deadly disaster. we have to warning the video you are about to see may be disturbing. the airline is trying to land at an airport about 180 miles south of seoul. you can see it skidding down the runway, very high rate of speed and in apparent belly landing after its wheels reportedly failed to deploy. stephanie bennett is life in the live inlondon with the breaking development. qwest is incredibly tragic this events, the video shocking. the two survivors were two crewmembers they were taken to the hospital they are both awake and talking with investigators about what they saw in the

moments leading up to the crash. the youngest victim was just a 3-year-old little boy. a bird strike landing gear failures are also being considered right now as possible causes for this crash the incident is the deadliest disaster in south korea's aviation history. the boeing 737800 jet from bangkok was bearing a 175 passengers and six crewmembers the names of the victims are slowly being released according to local news agency one man in his 60 said five of his family members spanning three generations were on that plane. including his sister-in-law, his daughter and her husband and their young children. the victims on board ranged from age three -- 78 years old. according to south korea transport ministry the control tower at milan international airport had warned that the plane about a possible bird strike. airport employees to local media there were many flocks of birds around the runway at the time. then, a few minutes later the pilot pilot issued a made a call

they believe they struck the right while before the crash they are still be investigating. when the pilot could not put down the flaps of the landing gear. >> it's leading me too believe the pilot was probably very preoccupied with possibly multiple things happening at the same time to explain the airplane the crews flight configuration for it landing and coming in very hot. >> the president has apologized saying he feels fully responsible for the crash. official said the flight data recorder has been recovered and as you said ntsb is leading a team of u.s. investigators to help aviation authority in their investigation for now south korea acting president who only took office a couple of days ago on friday has declared a seven day mou morning. for the country. >> what do we know about this airline.

>> rich, it's the largest low-cost airline and south korea. they fly about 12.3 million passengers a year. that's the latest number from last year. in their annual safety reports they received a very good rating. now, a lot of people on this plane unfortunately were holidaymakers. part of a five day christmas package tour to thailand. incredibly upsetting all those people. >> what official state what could possibly be avoided here's early in the investigation, this all just happened. >> definitely put a lot of different things a lot of theories are at play here was at birds? why didn't the landing gear come out? we had a guest on earlier who you just saw his questioning why weren't the flaps up why were they down questioning why were they in that position when the plane came to crash question with this and other factors like heathrow which is just down the road from us and a london have a dedicated team that goes out and scatters the birds, disperses

the birds. they use things like a gun with a blank senate to scare the birds away. there's a special way they trim the grass so that birds do not want to nest in that area they also waive it. some airports i heard have dogs that run around to disperse birds so they are not around airports as well. bird distress signals or music through speakers. just to make sure there's nothing in that area are crucial plalanding and takeoff. for birds. they'll be a lot in this investigation. some have said it might take up to a month to go through all this evidence and have some answers on this. >> of tragedy in south korea's stephanie bennett thank you very much for the report. present elpresident-elect trumpt waiting until inauguration day to work he's throwing his support behind elon musk right to defend hb one immigration visas which let u.s. companies temporarily higher specialized foreign workers. matt finn is live in west palm

beach florida with more on this. >> high profile meetings have been happening at mar-a-lago to hammer out some of the critical issues and get everyone on the same page for trump's first 100 days for it late this week there's a bit of a flare up inside the trump world over these visas. elon musk leading the charge defending the visas using colorful language online posting at one point the reason i'm in america along with so many critical people that built spacex, tesla hundreds of other that made america strong is because of h1b take a big step back and blank your selfie wrote i will go to war on this issue. president-elect trump weighed in on the issue essentially settling the matter chain that your posting is in favor of the h1b visas as people working for him will use these visas he will continue to support them. the visas historically have a lot of highly skilled foreign workers easy access into the

u.s. however some maga supporters are skeptical of the visa arguing they make take american jobs. >> usa's stem graduates of which there is a surplus right now for jobs and they cannot get those jobs they are competing with h1b visas elon and others are trying to do are trying to expand the number of h1 b visas and not necessarily even eliminate two categories. >> is an inch closer to the first 100 days immigration all around a major topic the biden administration has agreed to stop auctioning off large portions of president trump's southern border wall. which it had been selling for pennies on the dollar. here in west palm beach top canadian cabinet members met with the trump team about our northern border. president-elect trump has been threatening a 25% tariff against canada if it does not fix what he calls eight flow of drugs and illegal immigration into our country.

canadian prime minister justin trudeau said those terms will be crippling. we talk about tariffs later on in the. [shouting] finn thank you. mike is an admirable job under tough conditions. amaking deals with hakeem jeffries and the republican conference that is not what we saw the last two weeks. >> is not obvious to me he offended that job they send the best job he can given the circumstances. and it keeps a level head. >> some house republicans are split with house speaker mike johnson should keep his job in the next congress republicans will have a very slim majority. johnson is under fire for handling of the government funding bill earlier this month. the spring texas congressman

brian babin thank you for joining us this afternoon. i'll start with you asking what? johnson will of the gavel next congress? >> aptly yes. he's got one of the most impossible jobs in the entire world i would think. he was trying to walk a tight rope with one, two, it may be three senate majority it's a very, very difficult. i can tell you, i know a lot of them you may call naysayers. quite frankly i do not know what their plan b is who are they going to run? it took us almost a month to get mike johnson elected last year or earlier this year. we have got an opportunity that the lord god has given us. the american people given us a mandate to fix this country. we do not want to be spending weeks again choosing another

speaker. when we don't know who that speaker might possibly be. mike is gotten possible job. we got to keep them in their perv got a republican house, republican senate, gotcha trump of the white house. we cannot be squandering away days and weeks trying to pick a speaker while we have got an agenda to pass to save this country. rich: oversight share james comer had this to say earlier but getting perhaps a president-elect involved. take a listen to this progress are strongly encouraged donald trump to get on the phone those five or six members who will not commit to voting for mike johnson buried all this is going to do is delay us. it's going to delay the certification president trump selection. twenty delay the start of his first 100 days in office which is the most important timeframe of soul presidency. >> what you think should the president-elect involved here?

if not when the speakership election you got to fund the government come march, build the deal thedebt ceiling so-called housekeeping things before you even got to the meat of the trump agenda, no? it looks like the congressman is frozen there. we are very close to the house having to elect a speaker of the house. were going to drag the congressman back. when you look at what is going on here with what the u.s. and congress have to do, you've got to elect a speaker. that will happen on january 3. be on that he have a situation generally sick to go to certify the next p ex-president and then generate 20 does the next election nominate -- all these things that congress has to do like to pay the bills, like raise the debt ceiling forget about overhung the immigration system we can't keep the lights

on. >> congressman is trying to make this point and they've got a big agenda gotta make things work with gotta see if they make that happen as they get underway there's a tight schedule is going to be very interesting january for certain. a lot of things to watch their special shadow washington to see how it all pans out and if it runs smoothly. >> republicans are talking about these first 100 days being so important. that's a major, major piece of this as well. you can always look back to congress and mentioned you don't always get the trifecta the house and the senate and the white house. that time is fleeting. they got a slim majority a number of republicans are saying with gotta get moving on that. >> it went that momentum. coming up the migrant crisis being blamed for the nine states record high homelessness which is costing taxpayers and one major city, i bet you can guess which one, over $130 million. more on that next. ♪far-xi-ga♪ ♪far-xi-ga♪

rich: preside present bite is wg up the beer year on the beach and u.s. virgin islands try to trump prove his legacy this newly disc photos of the biden rubbing shoulders with some of his son hunter's chinese business partners. lucas tomlinson as live in st. croix with the latest on that. hey lucas. >> we have not seen a president biden much since he began his vacation here in st. croix

pretty did pop up yesterday and went to church along with this recently pardoned son hunter. >> should put and take responsibility for the plane crash? [inaudible] there are newly released photos in the national archives showing biden vice president shaking and posing chinese businessmen during a december 2013 official trip to beijing along with his son biden hunter. there's a chinese state which sought to extract natural resources such as cobalt from china. abide in his long denied any involvement in his s son's overseas business dealings. >> i have never discussed it might business or their business, my sons or daughters picture that i've never consulted with my son overseas. >> have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything to do with their businesses. >> many republicans have accused

biden of not being truthful in the matter james comer spoke earlier on "sunday morning futures." >> joe biden lied. did in fact introduced his son to all of these chinese people joe biden did in fact meet with all the chinese people that were a wiring and his family millions of dollars for mysterious reasons. we knew it the american people with common sense knew it. >> the white house said in a statement they are calling this old news is saying this occurred over a decade ago. rich: lucas tomlinson and st. croix thank you. molly: the rate of homelessness in the u.s. a jump to a record high this year. officials at the department of housing and urban development say it's because of high housing costs, natural disasters, and the straight and the migrant crisis the incoming trump administration is already laying out plans to counter that. some blue states and cities are planning to block trump's agenda.

let's bring in a national border patrol council vice president arch, thank you so much sir for joining us. all year long as well you have been a great help we have enjoyed your insights all this year. so thank you again for coming in today here on a sunday as we kind of tackle is shocking number. bloomberg said it search with highest levels in the federal government's been tracking numbers. in some sense was this a little bit predictable when saw the enormous numbers of people coming across the border? the shelters and filling up across the nation particular in major cities, your thoughts? >> outthink semis politicians are against it really is the domino effects every thing cause. that migrant crisis of these individuals coming into the united states did cause issues with the homeless shelters but they have cost issues with local law enforcement sponsored when citizens call them are stuck with other issues and other crimes throughout the city.

in time who is benefiting? the drug cartels. it is amazing to me that we have politicians out there that say they do not want to help. their hatred of donald trump but they have to look past that and realize they're not harming donald trump they are harming the american citizens that is what is so frustrating. obviously the domino effect right now is caused by the open borders of the current administration. >> were things i wanted to highlight including new york city not just the cost of the housing but the man power there's an incredible headline in your post in migrant crisis spurred nearly 3 million overtime hours in new york city for just workers, for housing and urban workers trying to rest

t the mayor is signaling a willingness to work with the trump administration. how successful some leadership working to some extent within the federal government and the next administration. >> i think is going to funnel from willing to say you can uphold by the laws a and not wod uphold the law. as you are seeing the mayor in new york he's shifting his process on that. he sees the reality of what is happening. he sees what's happening to the people in his constituents in new york. i believe that's going to be a trickle in the domino effect when it comes to the sanctuary cities once they start seeing all of that movement they're going to say wait a minute, let's rethink this. maybe we took the wrong

positioning the going to be getting affected by the heat migrant crisis as well. >> is a little bit of lack of clarity exactly how the mechanism, how things will work when the last deportation gets underway there's a variety of sanctuary cities that are re- upping their promises to trump prove their cities. particularly when it comes to helping legal challenges that sort of thing we can expect a lot of losses in 2025 going after the trump administration. this is senator eric schmitt. he talked on fox news and send it today a little bit about the challenges and what the expectations might be. then i went to your predictions. take a listen. >> a president trump is enforce existing laws and deport people who are here illegally. and so i think that's coming on day one. you'll see a flurry of executive orders to that point. the american people want that. you see that among hispanic voters, black voters, white voters, every socioeconomic group supported that by the egg supporting supports that.

that's why president trump won. is very clear about this it's a big important part about as many that he receive. molly: executive orders but what are your predictions? >> it turns out to enforcing the laws that's what it comes down to. but my prediction unfortunately is i think we are going to see some people who are protesting present him on the let their hatred towards trump is bigger than their love towards america. they're not reasoning correctly and the challenges are always going to be there. i believe you're moving forward with the new administration. on handcuffing the law enforcement community. being able to enforce the laws going to be huge and everything else should fall in line because that is down to. that's what we need to move forward toward its no his not at changing the last 40's it's been a free-for-all for the criminals with no consequences for them breaking the lost. molly: the final question with a focus on is the idea, the

trump's ministrations of the priority be on criminal on the noillegal aliens. how do you anticipate the effort getting underway, getting started? >> look it's not going to be that groundbreaking realistically. it is simple. there is a record where a lot of these individuals are they're askiasking for asylum. we should go to those spots and find out, take them to court have them have their day in court. at the same time you're going to have to have help from other law enforcement communities that's the frustrating part would hear century city ma mayor saying wee not going to help. it puts law enforcement a bad position we need help from them where they detain individuals they have a question of her immigration status. they need to be able to contact ice, contact immigration officials. at the same time they going to have to open it up. immigration officials are able to go into their jails and find out individuals they have detained to see if they have some type of status. it is going to take a group effort. then you have to worry about

deportation, where are you going to detain these people when they are going to have their day in court? we are going to need efforts from other law enforcement agencies as well. when it comes down to what we need to help each other out. wewe been talking about for a lg time we are at this but now we need to enforce the laws going to take a group effort. got your prediction of busy courtrooms is probably very accurate. thank you for joining us, happy new year to you. >> happy new year thank you for have me, molly. super israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in the hospital where he is set to undergo surgery as israel's war with hamas continues. trey yingst is in tel aviv, trey? >> significant surgery for the israeli prime minister as his forces continue the fight inside gaza. more after the break.

many were brought from the fifth floor to the ground there murdered instantly. the death toll inside gaza continues to rise with more than 45000 palestinians killed since the october 7 the massacre parade the israelis and note a large fraction of the deaths are from hamas are islamic jihad fighters for international organizations and more than half are siblings with no diplomatic solution in sight the conflict grinds on. on saturday to long-range rockets were long-term because of the israelis responded by striking the launching position. today additional five rockets to were intercepted by israel missile defense system the iron dome. we do note that qatari in egyptian negotiators are trying to bridge the gap on cease-fire agreement between israel and hamas. no deal is expected before president-elect trump takes office. molly: still a lot of heartbreak on the cusp of a new year chief your chiefforeign correspondenty yingst, thank you. stuart let's bring in jacob senior policy advisor to the american first policy institute.

jacob, thank you for joining us this afternoon. it seems like this story keeps recurring. the idf says it hits a command center or a hamas position and hospital hamas says it was a civilian infrastructure. how much longer do you think this operation is going to last? thanks and have me on. it will laugh, remains him off the side of the hostages to israel. we need the lengths to which israel will go back to its people. summprivsummation the first edif right now if in a hospital capture their ho there. this has been what we've seen all along, priori prioritizes ot people part one would've been achieved on october 82 and had the opportunity the first to hand over the hostages.

this second point i would like to make precision and care of israel's commanders and 100. his time against the operations when knowingly determined civilians were by their operation. ideas that were tragically hastening history of war, here, hastening history of war, here, we are doing is group and the proxy network that intentionally target civilians. it is quite clear and evident. rich: the invited administration works with countries and entities in the region are trying to reach an agreement for hamas to release the hostages is some sort of exchange with the israeli government. do you think there is any chance that happens before the next administration takes over? or are the parties biding their

time until inauguration day? >> there will be at note cease-fire until hamas returns the hostages. those living as well as tragically those who have not survived. this is the key demand hamas has not agreed to. by contrast as well israel requires some security presence that it must have so hamas cannot reconstitute itself. i don't see this happening in the next 22 days. i am certain it will be a different tone and environment under president-elect trump's leadership. as he has committed time and again there will be to pay if that is not meant. >> what do you think should govern gaza once this war has finished? what does that look like? how much of our role should the united states play? how much should arab in that

region play a role? >> absolutely. first of all it is for the gazan people to determine their own fate and future. hamas is not that entity. it has proven that time and again. i think this will be a process. first of d radicalization. we have seen a tremendous amount of ill will and hostility towards israel from broad swaths of the gazan population that's a process that needs to take pl place. and then the participation of our partners in the region and the rebuilding and reconstituting of gaza to make it livable. to make it a peaceful neighbor. this all takes time it cannot happen without american leadership. i think the context will change obviously when they trump administration takes office in a few days. >> during the first trump administration there was an effort and a movement a successful one in many cases to expand israel's relationship the official relationship with country countries in the region

is abraham a court has invited administration tried to expand on that. october 7 at the end of that process do you think there is space here in a second trump term to further expand israel's relationship with countries in the region? or did october and the war in gaza ruin that? >> there is no question the singular top foreign-policy achievement of the first term of the trump administration was the abraham accord to trade the question now is not if but how far the abraham accords will expand under in the the second f the trump administration. how far, i mean both geographically in terms of members but how far in terms of the interoperability and partnerships among our different regional players there. that means in terms of weapons resupply. that means in operation with one another, i am very confident that we'll all take shape very fast. i think our partners in the region one church. they recognize this has been a

major derailment of that process the last 14 months in fact the region is probably in a better place for it given iran's giveng position there. all right from the american policy institute thank you for joining us. molly: we are inching closer to 2025. what will the economy look like in that first year of this trump administration? we'll take a look at that next.

latest gambit of the cfpb is a symptom of a deeper and unconstitutional cancer of unelected bureaucrats substituting their policy judgments for those of congress. the rule is part of president biden's war on what he calls junk fees. >> junk fees are the hidden costs that can add up to hundreds of dollars for the average american family. >> requires banks of more than $10 billion in assets to reduce their overdraft fees from an average of $35 to five bucks when it come when account was negative. thanks have the option to charge only what overdraft costs them in losses or any amount if they treat the overdraft feet like a loan and disclose the interest rate. democrats like progressive congresswoman are defending the cfpb saying quote republicans want to strip this agency's power all to protect their rich buddies and corporations. but republicans seem open to doge suggestions. >> i can point out problems to us point out where the waste,

fraud, abuse is where we need to tighten up. but we and congress are the ones you have to follow through on that. >> industry groups representing banks and credit unions are suing the cfpb over its overdraft fee rule single harm americans especially those with no access to credit. the cfpb calls its rule common sense and long overdue. at the white house brady trimble foxbusiness. molly: americans have been present like templeman going to tell him his promises to turn the economy around on the campaign trail he laid out a plan for terrorists for taking on inflation but what else can we expect? you're this thoughts. his research fellow eha antennae. thank you so much for joining us on the cusp of a new year. we are talking tax cuts, tariffs and who knows what else. i want to start their predictions. among many plans he's touted. >> the deregulation across the

finish line early are going to be key to this administration success. one of the things that hampered the first trump administration was the fact there were so many different pieces of legislation lawmakers tried to get through before enacting that tax reform. and as successful as it was it signaling the economy it would've been even more so had it been tackle verse. i think the president will really push for that and then there is the regulatory reform aspect of this which does even more for economic growth through the first trump administration. the net successful tax cut did. so the fact this administration is very much aware of how they need to deregulate both in terms of size and scope, i think that is going to be very, very successful twin to be key to growing the economy and keeping prices down. molstevmolly: the sweeping tax t to expire. you're talking about the regulation but what of the other big things you talked about are the tariffs.

to the impact that could really have? >> i think we're going to continue to see a lot of other nations bend in the name persing of mexico, or sing of canada. everyone knows around the world that trump has more leverage her than any other world leader because he has the ability for brady's really mastered this. he knows how to wield the american consumer's purchasing power like a financial weapon on the world stage. we have a contract mexico or canada almost all their exports come here to the united states and we are sending only a few percentage points of our exports to the country is clear who has the leverage in those negotiations. if these other nations are their leaders are not willing to give a fair deal to the american consumer both the american consumer and american producers and trump is going to find and punish them financially for it. molly: one of the other promises he trump administration as a planning our massive deportations f that could have a potential impact on consumers,

on workers, really in mass, and a big way. this is a senior economist of the bank of america global research. take a quick listen. >> it is harder to know what will actually happen around deportations. from an economic perspective, a worker is also a consumer. so there are some downside risk to economic activity if there is a larger change in the population. that is just math. molly: he did not really dive into a bit any predictions as to what the deportations could mean for our economy? >> to make an assertion like that without any facts to support and conclude by saying it's math, having presented no mathematical figures or formulas whatsoever. i am sorry, i don't buy that as an explanation. look, at the end of the day so many of these folks support about illegal immigration have appointed to alleged benefits without any proof and ignore all the cost for which there is much proof.

such is all the wealth or spending that is going to illegal aliens. such as all the housing units tare being occupied by illegal aliens these are all resources being spent on foreigners that are not available therefore to be spent on americans. and if you reverse this trend, if you deport people allow them to self deport you will reverse the negative effects that have come from illegal immigration. not the least of which has been higher home prices. molly: speaking of home prices the highest since july is a foxbusiness headline. i had thought perhaps there is a trend here we might get some lower mortgage rates. what are you anticipating in that regard? >> unfortunately this is a case where the fed has really bungled the job. but they've essentially done is cut by 100 basis points the overnight rate for bank lending. at the same time leasing the 10 year treasury yield rise by 100 basis points. real market interest rates are going higher as the fed tries to

push them lower. that's because no one believes the fed anymore. the feds has recorded 2% inflation we are not for the fed told us inflation was transitory, it wasn't. nobody believes these folks anymore i think trump needs to take a hard look at replacing some people at the fed because of their mismanagement. ej antoni thank you very much were anticipating an interesting 2025 for sure were looking forward to seeing more any of you in the new year. >> of the latest on your holiday travel. it is coming up next.
