[laughter] thank you everyone. have a happy new year. thank you for joining us. coming up next is "america reports." >> people around the globe ringing in the new year as the nation's top tourist location gets ready to mark the start of 2025 with security at the forefront of preparations. i am griff jenkins. happy new year, julie.

>> i'm julie banderas. happy new year. i love this. got to spend christmas together, new year's. we are practically married. >> here we go, last show of the year. >> let's get it done. this is "america reports." all eyes are on the crossroads of the world, where security has ramped up ahead of tonight's big celebrations. more than 1 million visitors are expected in times square to attend the annual ball drop. the nypd says there is no credible threat to the gathering, but of course, as they do every year, they are not taking any chances. deploying everything from bomb sniffing dogs to drones to ensure that they remain safe. long lines are forming early this morning as tourists waited for their chance to snag the best space. >> how long have you been out here? >> oh my god, since 3:00 a.m. this is my third time. i planned this months ago. >> i think two hours now. the ball, the music, everything,

the energy. this is my first time in new york city. >> seeing the coordination of tonight, the entertainment, and atmosphere will be incredible. >> alexis mcadams' live from times square, new york city, with a look at all of this. happy new year. >> happy new year. there have been people out here for hours. before the sun came up. hundreds of people in lines across new york city, specifically times square. we are talking about more than 1 million people who will be here in times square. this is the new year's eve times square 2025 stage, just one of them. they will have big performances. that's lots of police, street closures, and the mayor of new york city telling everyone they need to follow the rules. >> not going to allow anything to disrupt the celebrations. we want you to follow the rules, even if you want to protest, protest within the rules. >> all right. this new year's eve, it's kind of the same thing as usual. the nypd is pretty used to these

major gatherings. police will be mixed into the crowd, including undercover units. though there are no credible threats, security is top 30. dogs and drone units will be out on patrol's. monitoring the bridges, tunnels, transit systems. you cannot get around with the road closures. you have to take the subway system. lines have been forming since early this morning. people from all over the country and all across the world wait for hours to get a glance of the ball drop. once you are in the secure area, can't wait to go to the bathroom. people say the extra preps make them feel safe. >> i feel safe. there is a lot of police, security. we were out last night until 10:00 p.m. and it's safe. >> it's impressive to see a lot of police, which makes us feel safe. >> it's supposed to rain later tonight. i don't know if you'll come out since you are in new york. i'm sure you're dying to see the ball drop and stand in the rain. there's lots of cops.

you can see the nypd is out in full force. they have rookie officers as well. they also have undercover officers and specialized units. one thing about new york city is they have huge events all the time. they are kind of used to this. i'm sure they think everything will go safely, but always see something say something. >> well, i wasn't planning on coming out, but as one of you once crowd served for the channel on new year's eve, maybe i will come out there -- alexis mcadams kicking things off for us. thank you. >> president biden back on mainland after his trip to the u.s. virgin islands. lucas tomlinson live in st. croix where he spends his last holiday as president. also, the president's back and you get to stay, lucas. what a tough assignment. [laughter] >> we have to stay here until the bosses tell us to leave. president biden departed st. croix a few hours ago and just arrived in philadelphia.

i'm not sure if you have the video. just stepped off air force one with his grandson, beau. this is where a st. croix native, alexander hamilton, helped organize the constitutional convention alongside james madison of course. president biden will be ushering in the new year in his home in wilmington. a lot about these reports that biden thinks he should have stayed in the presidential race and he would have won if he did. not everybody in the white house shares that view, according to "the wall street journal," which says that "the belief that biden could have won is not widely shared in the white house. the more common view is that the party would have suffered a larger electoral defeat and lost even more congressional seats had biden remained the nominee." ." biden departing st. croix after five days. waking up on the island, giving what many call that disastrous debate performance in june. some wonder how he could have stayed in the race. the debate had shades of gerald ford's debate blunder -- "no

soviet domination in eastern europe." both of them dealt with hostage crisises of course, a reminder that americans are still being held captive in gaza today. recalling the days following his debate, biden said he was staying in the race. >> unless they came back and said there's no way you can win. me. no one is saying that. no poll says that. >> 1000%, in your words, see you on the ballot this november? >> unless i get hit by a train. >> if you get and perhaps in a year and a half or two, you would look to come in your words, a very capable vice president to carry it over the finish line? >> only if i was told there were some medical condition i had. but that's not the case. >> air force one is not the only military jet launching today. u.s. central command says that

the u.s. navy super hornets from the harry as truman wants these strikes -- in yemen, and joined by their air force playmates as well as some tomahawk cruise missiles. the first strikes against them since that friendly fire december 21st, 1 of the u.s. warships shot down. >> thank you so much. can you talk to the bosses about sending me to st. croix? perhaps you have an in. >> can ring in the new year in st. croix. >> thank you. happy new year as always. >> texas authorities on high alert over a new threat from the venezuelan gang. the headline of a "new york post" article reads "knife wielding gang bangers reportedly attacking border crossings and desperate moves to force their way into the u.s. before trump takes office."

a former acting ice director, a former u.s. border patrol chief, and a deputy commissioner of -- happy new year. thank you for taking time. there is no one better to talk to about this. we have heard the officials in new york city -- saying they don't have that credible threat but they have committed crimes in the times square area. we have document of those reports on the channel. now, the border correspondent for "the new york post" with a big piece today. here is a little bit about what she wrote. "alerted to gang bangers attempts to force their went to the u.s. by an anonymous informant who said that the violent border break-ins by the gang would continue every night at 3:00 a.m. they said the gang intends to cause harm to the texas national guard soldiers stationed there, especially when they are left alone with no agents to help them. are we seeing an escalation at the border now as a result of

tda? >> i believe we will see if there will be a level of desperation. we know on january 20th, all the things of the border are going to change. the president has promised to end to catch and release, this vicious gang has infiltrated all over the united states. that is coming to an end, so people believe that the smugglers will full them to get to the pipeline now before trump policies take over, and the front line gets to do the job all over again. we are all facing risks from this gang that are unnecessary. they didn't exist in the united states before 2022. now, they are all over the country, and there is a level of desperation at the border. you know that the men and women on the frontline are going to be prepared for any kind of surge before the 20th, whether it is 3:00 a.m. or three in the afternoon. they are capable of protecting themselves and operating safely, but also being able to stop any surges. you know that for the last four

years, they have had to augment a couple of places along the border to handle thousands of people coming in every 24 hours. that traffic is muted, but they are prepared if it does come back or there is an immediate rush at the border. >> you raise a good point. that is that the tda surge is unprecedented. we can show you on a map, they have a foothold in 17 states and counting. you can see the map from coast-to-coast, and you are right. the data does not register a single criminal arrest of a venezuelan tda gang member until fiscal year 2023. i have interviewed chief owns of the border patrol, and pj -- from ice. neither had heard of this gang and had to deal with it until this administration. i want to ask you. here's tom homan talking about the threats and cracking down. listen. >> i have been born to that

right out of the gate we will concentrate on public safety threats. i have mayors and governors sitting there doing everything to prevent me from arresting public safety threats. the number of migrants who have died crossing this border, a record number: almost 4,000. how many lives have we lost -- migrants and u.s. citizens -- until they get a sense that a secure border saves lives? >> i take him at his word. have known him for a long time. the crackdown is coming, but do you anticipate that eradicating tda will be more difficult task that they own it might appear? >> they don't play by the same rules. it is a gang. by nature, they do what they want when they want. but they are vulnerable to removal. like we just said, they ot here. they have infiltrated a lot of places in the united states but none have legal status. they are vulnerable to deportations and criminal arrests for what they are doing. if they get into custody by local authorities or if the

justice department goes after them or ice fugitive operations teams. when the deportation effort starts, these will be among the first people they will target, but they are vulnerable. once they are sent out of the country it will be difficult for them to come back. >> the last thing on that. are you concerned -- it appears to me that when you have got new york that is a sanctuary jurisdiction, and california governor gavin newsom spending millions trying to protect migrants from deportations, that particularly, more tda members will try to seek out the sanctuary jurisdiction's to try find better protection? >> criminals will do that. they will go to places like new york, the state of california which is a so-called sanctuary. this is a destructive policy that needs to end so i'm hopeful that part of the things on the list in the new administration, and it is pretty long with regard to borders and safe streets. i would like the justice department to leverage their authority to hand out grants for law enforcement agencies and

state so they can pull back on some of that to incentivize these policies, to do with the sanctuary status, especially for criminal gang members. >> quickly before we run out of time, i wanted to ask you -- i send two programs that have spent millions that provide social services for migrants. i've talked to my ice sources today, and they said the program was not consistent with law enforcement goals, and it proved ineffective. it ended the program, as if they -- the waste before -- got to town. your reaction to this news. >> ice is a law enforcement agency. the funds shouldn't be diverted for social services regardless of who the recipients are. let other social service agencies do that. put them back in the business of enforcing the law. that's why they are there. >> thank you for taking the time. have a happy new year.

we look forward to talking to you as the new administration comes in and to the crackdown begins. thank you. >> happy new year. >> happy new year. it is remarkable. we have talked a lot about the tren the aragua -- executive orders and all that stuff, but this gang. cover the border for more than a decade at fox. i have never seen a specific group of migrants set up shop and the chief of the border patrol, the current acting director of ice tell me that they have literally gotten a foothold across the country. it's going to be allowed to undo. >> you are right. it's organized, and that is the problem. we have given them a time. to become disorganized, this gang needed time. under the biden administration, they had so much time, not to mention they were freely bussed all over the country so they have reached towns. how they find them? it's impossible to track them all down because they've had so

much time to hide. >> and venezuela does not -- with their citizens back, particularly violent gang members. asked tribbett mar-a-lago -- i asked tribbett mar-a-lago and he said "they are taking the back or suffering consequences." >> a lot of countries do not want to take their immigrants back. they have no choice or they will have hell to pay or they will have -- taxes and tariffs. speak of the times that trump was derided for saying that other countries are sitting there was. he was right in this case. >> it will be a return just like i am on amazon. return 'em all.

he is putting out a statement already, saying that if congress does not act, it will be a major tax hike for everyday americans. some 22%. he says for the past four years, americans have watched high prices eat away at their paychecks and financial well-being. at 22% tax increase would only compound that pain, particularly for lower income americans living paycheck to paycheck. elon musk is chiming in on the tax debate as well, arguing that the u.s. tax code is way too many pitches and needs to be drastically simplified. democrats are arguing new trump tax cuts will only help people like him: the rich. the senate president pro tem writing on x "republicans want to extend the trump tax cuts that gave handouts to billionaires and megacorporations while forcing the middle class to foot the bill." democrats also say that

extending the trump tax cuts will add to the national debt, but republicans point to recent treasury data, which shows that tax revenue actually jumped 45% from november of 2017 to this month. this bolsters their argument, republicans argument, as they go into this battle in the new year. >> grady trimble live at the white house, thank you. julie? >> meanwhile, americans are piling on debt unlike ever before. many are starting off the new year defaulting on credit card payments. on fox business.com, this is the headline. "u.s. credit card defaults soar to the highest level in 14 ye years. fox business anchor david has been joins me now. i know a lot of americans are hoping for a stronger economy in 2025 -- let's hope they get it -- but who is to blame for the record high consumer debt we are suffering from? >> it's pretty simple, julie. the fact is that inflation

during the biden administration has outpaced wages. that means a dollar earned today does not buy as much as it did four years ago. a lot of americans, in order to get the stuff that they need, are paying with credit cards rather than with cash. $47 billion has just been wiped away by a lot of credit card companies as bad debts. of course, the people that incurred those bad debts will never get a good credit rating again because of that. it's a terrible situation. you also have the interest rate situation. while the fed just lowered interest rates, or the one interest rate that they can lower or raise, they lowered it about two weeks ago. real interest rates in the real world have government. an average 30-year fixed mortgage has gone from 6.1% four months ago to 6.7% today. it's simple.

interest rates are up because banks have to lend out hopefully to get paid back in real dollars. that is how they make their money. they are betting that inflation is going up, so you add up the debt load americans now have come of the fact that they are not able to buy as much as they used to with the interest rates going up, and it's a terrible situation. this connects to grady's piece before. that's why we desperately need to extend the trump tax cuts, and probably get in more tax cuts like the president was saying for tips and overtime pay and everything. americans just need more money in their pockets. it's very simple. if we wait until the end of 2025 for those tax cuts from 2017 expiring, 65% of american taxpayers are going to get a tax increase. >> that's not a good number. this report, according to the "financial times," that during the first nine months a loan of 2024, lenders had to write off

more than $46 billion. delinquent credit card loans. that's huge. it's also an increase of 50% from the first three quarters of 2023. the highest we have seen since 2010. what do you predict for 2025? a lot of people have seen donald trump coming in and that we would turn a corner and that the economy would get stronger but it's not going to happen overnight. what do we do? >> it's not going to happen overnight, although it could happen sooner rather than later. if they put tax extensions, tax cut extensions as their number one priority or at least on par with what's happening at the border, we could money and americans pockets quickly, particularly those people who are working overtime, getting tips, et cetera. it's got to be at the top of the trump priority. were under that old saying, it's the economy, stupid remember the old saying: it's the economy, stupid. if we get tax increases in the beginning of 2026, that means

republicans will lose in the midterms big time. they may lose the house or senate, or both. >> 2025 is expected to be the year of living practically. we should all follow that rule. if you look at the financial resolutions people have set for the new year, save more money is at the top with 43%, pay down debt 37%, spend less money 31% which i love, but listen to americans and their hope for a better economy. >> i'm looking for a healthy economy. >> better jobs, the house market, hopefully interest rates can go down, home prices can possibly go down so people can buy their dream home. >> the economy gets better. >> hopefully a better spot than this past year. >> are these realistic resolutions? please say yes. >> absolutely has. the same feelings are held by small businesses. they can be affected immediately by donald trump himself and the stroke of a pen. he can get rid of a lot of regulations that made it much more expensive and cumbersome

for small businesses to do business. he can make it easier and cheaper to do business, and you will have more business. >> a big mess to dig us out of and i hope he does as soon as possible. happy new year. it's always great to see you. >> great to see you as well. >> tiktok. i'm going to save tiktok. biden wants to get rid of tiktok. you know why? because he has no idea. he has no idea what he's doing. >> president-elect trump to press pause on president biden's tiktok band. health care -- attorney general alan wilson supports the ban. we will ask him why coming up. >> plus, the battle for the gavel on trump, throwing his support behind the current speaker mike johnson. some republicans are blocking his endorsement. find out why when our political panel weighs in next. >> president trump is the coach. he asked for. >> johnson to remain the speaker. we should listen to the coach and go about enacting the play.

>> the battle for the gavel is on. house speaker mike johnson facing opposition from some republicans who want him out of the big seats, but president-elect trump through his support behind incumbent. let's bring our political panel. former rnc deputy communications director, and former director of message planning for the biden white house. thank you for joining me. happy new year. by the end of the week though, we could have quite a mess. johnson was on "hannity" last night and talked about getting trump's endorsement. here is what he had to say. >> he recognizes that what we need right now -- i think my colleagues recognize this as well -- is a proven fighter and a true maga conservative, but also someone who can work with every member of our very diverse house g.o.p. we are going to fix the border. we are going to get the economy humming again. we are going to restore our stature on the world stage, get

our energy policy fixed. >> recognizing it, all of them, because the math is so narrow with massey already saying he is a definite no. you can only lose one republican. they have other members. they are questioning inventory and some others saying that they have not committed yet. how do you see this playing out? >> i'm sorry, who was that to? it cut out. >> cassie. >> they say hate again, not the player. don't hate the player at the expense of losing that maga momentum that everybody is talking about. these members who are on the fence. >> johnson as he said last night, these are his colleagues. how he got the job in the first place. these next couple of days, use them to talk about what changes they want to see made, particularly with the rules where we see this stuff get played out. then, be united in the vote.

that's what the american people need. i know these numbers of congress are trying to show up for their constituents. also, remember those constituents, the majority of them are trump voters and gave president trump a mandate. he needs congress to work with them to carry out that mandate and use this crucial first 100 days or so to get things done right out of the gate. >> do you see any scenario where hakeem jeffries might come to the rescue of mike johnson, and to try to keep congress from, as "the wall street journal" says, going straight into disarray if they don't quickly elect johnson as speaker? >> i don't. i think if the republicans didn't mess with this and go back on their agreement, you might have had a different story, but they disarray is the republicans problem. they claim they had a mandate. donald trump and elon musk decided to weigh in on this which created a lot of disarray and uncomfortable conversations i am sure. now they have a slim majority to

get speaker johnson reelected. they will have to act quickly. they need to certify the reelection. i assume that's why donald trump finally did endorse speaker johnson for reelection. >> this congressman is weighing in on the trump influence on this race. here's what he had to say. >> president-elect trump is behind him. is he the guy? >> i will ultimately make up my mind. i will pray about it. president trump is compelling. he is the largest dog in the pound. there is nobody bigger than him. i do think many people want to tangle with him, especially on this. >> some of the others that seem to be still sitting on the fence, what kind of message does that send? they say he will wait until friday. are these individual members holding out with this specific wish list, a self-serving goal

that could threaten the political good for the bigger picture? >> if they are holding out for a specific wish list and wants demands meds, don't bluff. make sure you have an end goal in mind. the problem that we've seen played out before is how we got speaker johnson in the first place. you have guys who love the microphone, love to write home to their constituents and say they are fighting for them, but they didn't get anything for it. that's the key. if we lose this maga momentum obligate, it only goes to serve democrats, who have just lost all levers of power for a reason. the policies weren't working. president biden is on his way out of the white house because his policies weren't working. we need to focus on the bigger picture. i really do think that's what we will have. >> johnson is very highly regarded amongst his colleagues. i think they will work this out over the next few days. they understand what's at play

here. president trump, as we saw elon musk have the power of x behind him as well to help. >> do you want to respond? and what is the messaging coming out of friday? >> i think they have an incredible amount of power moving forward into the next congress. they will have one or two proceeds. everyone is in town to vote. i just think that the republicans are going to have to learn how to compromise. donald trump and elon musk will have to learn how to compromise. democrats as they did with this fight just a couple weeks ago. i think the message coming out of friday as they will get their house in order. speaker johnson will get the speakership. as predicted, i think it will be one or two in. i think the message coming out of friday for democrats as they hold a lot more power than they originally were going to have or originally republicans thought. >> with narrow margins, you may well be right. we shall see. have a happy new year and thanks for taking the time.

>> hey. how much is too much? your metric is life span -- the answer is zero. it might be the same amount of alcohol, but you will find few doctors saying alcohol is good for you. we are on the santa monica pier. the restaurants, the boardwalk. loaded with people who were drinking beer, wine, margaritas, and more. the last thing they are thinking about is how those rings are likely to lead to an early death. this study is an analysis of 100 other studies which found that the more you drink, even in moderate amounts, raises your risk of dying. two drinks a week, 2-3 days off of your life. seven drinks a week is one- one-a-day. two and a half months off of your life. 35 drinks a week is five a day. two years. it raises the risk of car

accidents, liver damage, cancer, heart disease. >> it's a good pick me up. the liquor is a good pick me up. you have those long workdays. you need to get the stress out. >> it seems over the top, i'd say. you have to enjoy life. if you are just doing that with a good meal or whatever, i think it's worth it. >> the cdc and u.s. dietary guidelines say women should have no more than one drink a day, men two drinks because alcohol is a leading cause of morbidity, after cigarettes and obesity. >> most people in the world globally believe a little bit of alcohol is good for you. quite a big shift to say no actually, there is a risk. there is not a certain benefit. >> across the board, and drinking in the u.s. is down. hard spirits are down 3%, and

that moves tequila, vodka, whiskey, wine 8%, beer 3.5%. the one counter are ready to drink cocktails like hard sets - heart cells are in a can come up 11%. >> it's becoming apparent in my life that alcohol is an issue that will take years off your life. just about lost a family member. >> about 25% of adults have participated in dry january. i don't know about you, griff, but life is abou. some people say one drink or two will not kill them. >> january brings the nfl playoffs. unfortunately, as a football watching beer drinking old codger, i won't be able to participate. maybe we will do dry march, just when there's no real sports. or you could have basketball, so

pointed out something else which is that drinking is down. you know what group it's down among? teens. >> that's good. >> the group i worry about the most. 12th graders are down from like 75% to 40% from the 1990s until now. there is less coming out of the pandemic, so i'm happy to see that. the hippo for sure has to be called griff. i got to tell you.

turning a corner, becoming healthier well before the holidays and new year. i've stuck to it. but, i believe mental acuity and determination in your mind-set is the number one most important thing people should follow through on if they are going to set these resolutions. >> well first of all, i agree with you. i want to tell you something you may not have thought of, which is all of these things are connected. the biggest problem is new year's resolutions, nobody keeps them. 70 percent don't keep them and only 57% in a recent poll from ap actually make them. i say make them. make the point about exercise. it is tied in. when you exercise, you generally eat better and your mental health improves. the hormones released in the brain are a heck of a lot better. the happy hormones are released with exercise. it is tied to mental health. >> it is. i started exercising five days a week and i've never been hap happier. i want to give that advice to everyone out there who did yo-yo

dieting for half their life like i did. happy new year. >> happy new year. >> president-elect trunk mar-a-lago estate. all need to do is big. we will take hi, i'm greg. i live in bloomington, illinois. i'm not an actor. i'm just a regular person. after working 25 years in the automotive industry, i retired. eight years ago, i just didn't feel like i was on my game. i started taking prevagen and i want people to know that prevagen has worked for me. give it a try. i want it to help you just like it has helped me. i've been taking prevagen for eight years now and it is still helping me tremendously. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.
