here is what he had to say. >> we have to fend for ourselves in eagle pass, we do our best with what we have. we feel 100 rs % ignored. nobody bothers to tell us what the action is. >> griff: lastly, i will push one more time, we are just getting light on migrants and make the point why agents are overwhelmed, here in eagle pass, you have no more than 40 agents on any given shift working around the clock, being overwhelmed 50 to one, 60 to one and ratio of illegal agents 200 to 1, creating the challenge they have here and it is one that simply isn't giving them a break. they are reaching a breaking point and moral is suffering as the sun comes up. you will see this all day long. yesterday we had four large groups of well over 100, we'll see what we're in for today. back to you. >> brian: congress is talking about going home without a deal or without asylum changes. what is this going to look like over next three or four weeks as congressmen enjoy their holiday? >> griff: you can see the live pictures, to point out, it is 38 degrees here, this is typically the time you have few migrants because it is uncomfortable and difficult. we had the other day a one-month-old infant born on the journey in the harshest of conditions and yet condition, according to james langford, will go home without a deal because white house is only talking to democrats, not republicans. if you talk to any official out here, they will say funding is great, we need policy changes and raise fear threshold and need a rocket docket to deny asylum and need to increase massively deportation to send the message migrants shouldn't come. cbp puts out a tweet every six hours saying don't come, you won't be let in. >> ainsley: who are those people walking behind you, are those migrants? >> steve: other side of the fence. >> griff: migrants crossing two my east and west and coming across the river and they put them in one single file line and at this point they'll be marched, there is a lot of them and i'm waiting for them to march them behind me and take them to behind the hill and do mobile processing and check to see if their id and find out who they are. on saturday we had one individual in one quick mobile processing hit a sex offender and they separated him and handcuffed him. yesterday a guy from angola. >> steve: griff, it is dark enough to see number of migrants are looking at their cell phones. out of curiosity, a lot of people have come to that location on trains and walking for days or weeks or months, where do they plug in their cell phones? how do they get electricity to charge those things up? >> that's a great question, we don't fully know the answer to that. i will say this and i interviewed a migrant that was telling us immigration officials last week told me immigration officials had given migrants gps coordinates of where to go in the mexican town across the river from us to get to this point, directing migrants here. i'm willing to surmise that many of them are using their phone to make sure they are going to the right spot. why? they know they will be taken into custody and get warm this morning, that is for sure, they will get shiny mylar blankets and probably water and taken to a processing center and they will warm up and they will be released. we have found on multiple occasions, migrants that filled out the cbp one app on their phone and still crossed illegal because they got tired of waiting, they are holding on to that cbp one application to give them assurance they have proof as another thing. you are looking at more of them coming along that line as you are pointing out because they just crossed and being directed here. it is hatching with efficiency of amazon. hats off to border patrol and national guardsmen, this is what they have been handed, they are doing the best job they can in difficult conditions. >> lawrence: explain to the audience, i think texas dps put this razor down here. has border patrol made it down there? normally texas dps will take them in and detain until border patrol gets there, has border patrol already arrived on the scene? >> griff: that is right, they have. i am not sure it would work if i spin the camera and stay on this shot, we are getting more light to see the size of the group. yesterday morning's group was 400. we have national guard to receive them, about a thousand yards beyond where i'm standing, up the hill, you see border patrol and a bus already waiting. balton, my cameraman, will yell at me. is it possible to spin around and show, this is rough, you can see beyond us border patrol truck and a bus already waiting. i apologize for the rough tv turn we're making. just since you skad border patrol and green stripe and that bus just out of view is waiting, they will try to process them as fast as possible. right now we have more and more coming across that river. >> steve: and you mentioned sun coming up, we'll check back in half an hour as the sun comes up and we can see what is going on in eagle pass. >> brian: griff is most -- and never seen anything like it. >> ainsley: we have catie britt this morning. >> brian: and houthi rebels responsible for yesterday's attack of the merchant ship in the red sea. the damage from the cruise missile led to onboard fire, no deaths reported. no u.s. ships in the area, but uss mason responded to the call. consumer advocacy group, requiring stronger warnings on botox, there are other injections on the list that are used to curb the look of wrinkles. the treatments come with black box warning but it should aulsz mention possibility of facial muscle paralyzing disease. now football, monday night football, there is tommy cutlets, sweeping the nation, giants, that is tommy devito. third string quarterback surplanted number two quarterback and now number one quarterback. led new york down the field and packers up 22-21 and go 57 yards to set up end of game field goal opportunity. giants lineup and defeat the packers. leading to third straight win. he grew up in new jersey. the devito lives in new jersey, his agent from new jersey and with the great hat. slow down the last like end of a romance novel. >> steve: what tommy devito has been talking about, pinch finger together, this is salute to italians they grew up with. >> lawrence: do they like to kiss?

>> first thing we've been doing is collecting evidence, you have seen this with james comer committee, house oversight committee, jim jordan committee, judiciary, jason smith's ways and means committee. you have seen items come forward, all the shell corporations, millions identified, checks going into hunter's account. there is more evidence we are trying to get and the white house is blocking that evidence, we need to exercise impeachment powers to get more facts out and continue searching if let people see what is going on with this investigation and let it lead to where the facts continue to come out further. >> lawrence: why this is going on in congress, hunter biden's attorneys asking for indictment to be dismissed thchl is what he told in that letter. indictment against mr. biden much be dismissed it violates agreement in effect in exchange for mr. biden giving up various rights, prosecution agreed to provide immunity. the problem is, delaware judge threw this agreement out of the window, what is he talking about? >> he's been trying to block this, the white house is trying to block gets the facts out. even with archives, there are alias names out for joe biden. we need to bring this before a judge, the white house is trying to keep the public from seeing the facts. as people see more facts, people recognize web of deception, money coming from other countries, money coming from chinese shell companies, how many people use 20 shell companies from foreign countries? hunter wasn't registered as a foreign agent. we have seen joe biden say he had no involvement in his son's businesses and that turned out to be false, he is getting cash payments. white house is trying to block more information, we'll have the vote tomorrow. >> lawrence: no one can tell us what hunter did, especially when you have the foulings from the special counsel saying all this money wasn't for business because it was going to hookers and prostitutes. y'all have to make that case. key inflation report coming out in just not ms, we'll break down the impact and president of harvard staying put while antisemitism has cost the school a billion dollars. will harvard learn their lesson? 80% of yale undergrads got a's, are the grades preparing student to enter the real world? we'll ask a former social studies teacher, leo terrell. of bringing textile manufacturing back to america. we're taking the best fibers our farm can produce, spinning it at one location, weaving it, then finally into a cut and sewn product. there's value in buying american made it has a real life impact up and down the supply chain. we want our customers to feel how special this product is, right when they open the box. go to redlandcotton.com and receive 20% off your order with code fox 20. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. they're not looking for a handout. they're looking for a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. >> ainsley: just minutes ago, we received a brand new statement from harvard administration saying they will not fire claudine gay despite the fact she failed to defend the school's jewish students. alexandria hoff joins us. >> alexandria: like magill, gay did offer apology saying she felt regret, but not enough to resign and the university will not be forcing her out either. harvard's body says as members of harvard corporation today we reaffirm president gay's leadership and affirm our confidence president gay will help our community heal. billionaire hedge fund manager bill ackman said gay's handling of antisemitism cost the university billions. that did not rattle the board or faculty members. they wrote the undersigned faculty urge you in strongest possible terms to defend the university and resist political pressure for academic freedom. the critical work of defending free inquiry cannot proceed if we let it be dictated by outside forces. tomi lahren weighed in on that. listen. >> tomi: when conservatives come to speak on campus our presence is considered hate speech and administration speak out against it. when i go and riley gaines, same thing. the lack of consistency is frustrating for folks. >> alexandria: pulse released a list to rank free speech on campus and harvard scored dead last. >> ainsley: thank you, harvard refusal to fire president gaza -- gay, revealed outrage. grades of a given to yale last year. leo terrell used to be social studies teacher and now attorney and used to be a democrat. i want your response and reaction to the latest news that claudine gay is staying at harvard. >> i'm outraged. the jewish students are in harm's way. claudine gay kept her job because of her skin color. the university of penn president resigned. claudine gay gay should have been fired. harvard is committed to dei and claudine gay's race protected her from losing her job at the expense of putting jewish students in harm's way. >> ainsley: what if this were the kkk, how would she feel then? >> if it was a protected group, this would never happen. you would have the national guard and every black student protected 24/7. the jewish community and students are in danger. they are being intimidated, it is clear jewish students have been deprioritized. i'm a civil rights attorney. claudine gay is being given preferential treatment because of her skin color. jewish students being devalued because of their religious beliefs. >> ainsley: talk about yale, hard to get into, easy to stay in. 80% of grades are in the a range. one professor is saying this is dishonest and objective is to make everybody happy, not smarter. yale students are smart and well prepared and earn high grades, instructors determine grading performances individually. what is your response as a teacher and professor? >> outrageous. i taught and i was a student. they have devalued hard work and basically they want to make sure every student because they follow the dei policy, they want to make sure everyone is happy, everyone is feeling like they are the same and ainsley, education dictates who is a better student and you have to work harder to become an a student. everyone is not an a student. it will catch up with them in graduate school and they will find out they are not an a student. >> ainsley: what is the reason for this? because they have to be competitive? they want to make their students look better than other ivy league schools? >> hijacked by dei, this is diversity, equity and inclusion and they want everyone to feel they are the same. they are not the same. this is a problem with universities and public schools, dei is destroying quality education. >> ainsley: thank you, great to see you and for waking up early. he's out in california. over to lawrence, steve and brian. >> brian: election news about 2024, presidential race sources telling fox news new hampshire governor not running for reelection, chris sewn sununuis expected to endorse nikki haley later today announcing the governor will join haley and make remarks at 6 p.m. tonight in manchester. let's react. >> steve: this is interesting. two big contests are iowa, where the governor kim reynolds endorsed ron desantis and now mr. sununu throwing his weight behind nikki haley. he spent the last couple months traveling with chris christie and nikki haley and ron desantis. sununu does not think donald trump can win and wants the republican party to turn the page. >> lawrence: it looks like the republican primary has become a race between nikki haley and donald trump, establishment republicans, hawks, more going with nikki haley and then the people that want to take a wrecking ball to the american party sided with donald trump. ron desantis put it behind iowa. if polls indicate he could win, if he loses iowa, he's out. nikki haley has a far more ground operation going against donald trump, iowa, south carolina, as well as new hampshire. >> ainsley: good point, after that is south carolina. she was governor there, well liked in south carolina, brought boeing to our state. she has advantage of being only female on the ticket. >> brian: real clear average 18.7 for haley and desantis with 7.7. 23rd is the new hampshire primary five days after the iowa caucus. if desantis wins or is close, maybe that shakes things up for the people in new hampshire. big state, not a lot of people there. >> steve: look at chris sununu's record, new hampshire's large swing undeclared voters who are expected to play a major role in this particular primary. there could be a lot of people on the sideline that say, if i get the go sign from the governor, i'm going to go. >> ainsley: donald trump is up by a lot beating desantis, even though kim reynolds endorsed him. will trump still win with a landslide? >> lawrence: kim ren old's endorsement came too late. he made it clear he opposes donald trump, doesn't like, i supported him when he was president. he lost against joe biden, i don't think he can beat him this time. donald trump is winning in battleground states, so not as much of the argument. if endorsements matter -- >> ainsley: if donald trump puts her on theic ittet, he could do even better. >> lawrence: it is possible. >> brian: governor sununuspay was asked, would you vote for donald trump if he gets nomination? yes, i'm republican, i would vote for him. he was a good president. that is what ron desantis and nikki haley are saying, . chris christie is saying that. >> lawrence: they are saying he cannot defeat joe biden. >> brian: i don't think anyone believes that now. >> lawrence: that was the only argument they had. we like his policy, he can't win. >> steve: other component is iowa caucus not like people write out a vote and that's it. you go to place where they hold the caucus and you lineup in a different corner, are you for that guy? lineup over there, a lot of peer pressure, ron desantis put his eggs in the iowa basket, he has best game in iowa, will he turn that into a win? he's got the governor and manpower, you never know. >> lawrence: are folks receptive of the message? the money is drying up and feeding to nikki haley. when money is gone, they can't do operations afterward, we'll see. >> ainsley: 44 after the top of the hour, a key inflation report released, consumer prices rising by .1% and rising 3.1% from last year. >> brian: markets responding positively. and hundreds of migrants are gathering at the southern border after the cbp agents apprehended 20,000 migrants overthe weekend. congress is going home without fixing this. >> steve: griff jenkins is live watching it happen, griff, we see the fence they are lined up against and they are about to go across the finish line and enter the united states. >> griff: that's right, guys. we are getting more light. you can see this large group, this is at least two to three hundred, maybe more. lawrence was asking how they would be processed. they are met by national guard at the river's edge and go up the hill. some have begun coming up and i'll have more coming up behind me and i've been asking where they are from. they seem to be from venezuela, a few from cuba and priority they are moving women and children, first migrants that crossed were father holding a child, toddler, maybe two or three years old, asleep in his arms, covered in a blanket, had been going for days. this is the finish line where they have seen those that went before them they get and be released into the country and these are coming across this area. you look at the group coming up behind me, find out where they are from. i want to see if my crew, we got a operation working in tandem, see if they can bring that up the hill and show where that finish line is. we are giving look of this line coming up, still priority is women and children, family units, gentleman with a small child. nicaragua. si. [speaking spanish] >> griff: thank you. i was asking why he is coming to the united states now, he says thank you and you can see migrants giving me a thumbs up sign. venezuela okay, largely venezuela and nicaragua. this will go on for several hours and numbers are unsustainable, they have 17,000, unclear what this week will bring. one thing, it will overwhelm agents in this sector and agents a thousand miles to the west in lukeville, arizona, where they are getting hammered, as well. >> brian: they don't care in washington, they are going on vacation. they will not get anything done and go home on friday, unbelievable. 12 before top of the hour. border patrol chiefs say biden policies are incentivizing migrants to turn themselves in because they get released. here is katie britt. your reaction to what we are seeing in realtimeline. >> you are showing eagle pass. this is another prong of the failed bidenomics. that actual entry about 34 billion in trade. everyday we have to shut that down and saw them have to do, it is about 100 million, this is definition of america last. our frustration, it is just continuing to grow, we've been telling democrats and the white house for months now, in order to get this package together, we have to have real border security, the problem here, everything we put forth, democrats don't want, truth is they want open border, their solutions leave the border wide open, it is drug cartels, terrorists and human traffickers that will win. >> brian: senator langford says we will not get this through thursday or friday. there are large areas resolved, no ukraine aid, no taiwan aid, no israel aid, there is no change to the border. we don't want more soft-sided tents, we need more asylum rule and change in laws. didn't the president see what we're seeing? >> absolutely, this is failure on president biden's watch completely and totally, his policies are magnets to draw more and more people here. he put forth 1.4 million for the program that is red carpet and white glove service for migrants, which attract them. senator langford is right, time for biden to come to the table. >> brian: you got briefed last week about how concerned are counter terror and security officials about a terror attack as relates to the border. what can you tell us? >> you saw senator graham nail it with director wray, he said, do you see blinking lights? director wray says i see them everywhere, increased threat doing something on our soil and pointed to southern border as reason for that. we know we've had more known terrorists caught between ports of entry. brian, is there are 1.7 million come under biden administration we never touched gloves with, meaning we don't know who they are, where they are going or what their intentions are and the american people deserve better. >> brian: 27% support border policy. it's a disaster, you would save him by changing asylum rules, but he does not want to do it and you shouldn't be going home for christmas until you get it done. >> i agree. >> brian: thank you. appreciate it. still ahead, stix and foreigner performing next summer. bill hemmer will not be on the tour, what is on the show? >> bill: did they bring their eight-tracks with them? >> brian: last time you heard them? >> bill: harvard made a decision about the fate of its president, republicans making a move toward impeachment. brand new polls on battleground states, lot of interesting data here. rack it up, dana and i will see you in eight minutes, top of the hour. but we know christmas isn't about something you buy at a store. it's about something so much greater. it is the day we celebrate the incredible truth that god so loved the world that he gave his only son. it's not about presents. it's about jesus. join me this advent in praying every day on hallow. cut through the noise and find god's peace.
