"the evening edit" starts right

now. james: we look at your money. of the dow dropping 365 points. despite the title 42 ruling it must remain in place now. cities at the southern border are feeling effects of concerns of crossings. madison alworth in denver how officials are being impacted by the crisis. madison? >> reporter: james are there 600 miles separating denver where i stand now and mexico. yet this city is facing a migrant crisis, one that the mayor says could turn into a humanitarian crisis very soon if more help is not given. so since the beginning of the month over 2600 migrants have made their way to denver. the city spent $3 million to deal with that sudden influx. when you take all of that

together you're looking at around 160 migrants arriving each and every day. the city is at its breaking point. >> we expect by the end of this week we could see another 1000 people that will create a humanitarian crisis because we simply do not have the ability to care for them, to shelter them. we don't want a humanitarian crisis. i don't want you on our streets unhoused in this very cold weather, unsafe, unhealthy conditions. we're seeing in el paso. >> reporter: the city had shelters and welcome center to accommodate these migrants but the mayor was very clear. they are full. the city cannot take anymore migrants and the fear is, if and when more come, there will be no beds to accommodate them. the colorado state government has helped the city with managing donations but the mayor tells us they need both state and federal government to open up shelters to help financially if they want to prevent what is

happening at the border from happening here. the mayor confident that the federal government will reach out soon with short-term guidance now that there has been a timeline on title 42. but in the meantime the migrant population continues to grow. as we report, jails, the number this morning, 2500. as you saw earlier we're up to over 2600. the migrant population continues to grow in a city where as we know the temperature will continue to drop. james, i will send it back to you. james: thank you madison alworth, here to discuss the supreme court decision crisis at southern border, former acting i.c.e. director tom homan and dhs advisor charles marino. first i would like to play a couple of sound bites, first the president reaction to the supreme court decision. then we'll hear the reaction congressman-elect cory mills from florida. president biden: the court will not decide to june apparently.

meantime we have to enforce it but tatus quo of the biden administration. biden going to caribbean during time of cyclone bomb and open borders. the real problem they don't want to address the issue. we've seen that time and time again where our migrant insurgents come across and violated american sovereignty. james: tom, first in terms of what's likely to happen on the ground in the immediate aftermath of this decision, title 42 stays in place. the government can continue to refuse people based on covid health emergency justification. we're seeking asylum but i'm wondering is the fact that this will be around for a while, do you think there may be some good news in terms of the maybe less chaos at the border? i know a lot of people gathered there in anticipation that perhaps this was going to be lifted. would you expect any relief in the next few days?

>> look, having title 42 will help the border patrol a little. we need to understand the biden administration never implemented title 42 the way it is supposed to be. from day one this administration has carved out a lot of people. >> carved out family groups, carved out unaccompanied children, carved out people from venezuela and cuba. if you look at total numbers on the cpb website they have released a lot more people in the united states than they returned through title 42. what i expect some of these people waiting for title 42 done lifted, they will not keep waiting. rather than turn themselves over to the border patrol subject to title 42, they will be the new got-aways. they will wait until the cartels send a big group across, ties border assets up, get across. not sit in mexico forever. some will, most won't. james: charles, this is ongoing theme, there are laws in place,

title 42 related to a public health emergency but obviously a lot of other laws pre-covid existed to enforce our immigration and our border. do you see any sign in washington that a new republican congress is motivating the white house to seek solutions to reach across the aisle, to work on how you end this chaos? >> considering all this was done on purpose from the biden administration to walk away from the federal responsibilities to secure the border and enforce immigration laws, oh, by the way protect the national security of this country and safety and security of the american public, i would say the only way the republican congress can conquer that is to go after the money, go after the budgets of dhs, go after the overseas funding to the regional partners. look if we need mexico to take action and help provide a solution to slow this down, the northern triangle. we'll have to go after all these international funds and i fear

that congress is not prepared for how tough they're actually going to have be to get this white house to move on this. james: tom, we heard a lot during the trump administration about a deep state, government employees resisting the white house's policies. i'm wondering in this case, given that it seems that the white house policy contradicts with federal law, is there room for the rank-and-file that we hear so much about being frustrate stated to it do their jobs to enforce the law regardless of whether the white house is saying don't enforce the law? >> look, i think the border patrol agents, i started my career as a border patrol agents. they are 20,000 patriots of this country. i think they continue to show up to work, do the best they can, they're looking for relief. for instance, if title 42 is going to be controversial issue,

then putting remain in mexico and i talked to hundreds of them. what they're waiting for is republicans to take control of the house and like your last, gentleman spoke before me. now they control the purse strings. to affect the money. more importantly they can conduct oversight hearings. they can subpoena the right people, the right information. call secretary mayorkas in. ask them, and provide the evidence through subpoenas. there will be a lot of damning information coming out. so you got 24 democrat congressman running for congress in 2024. they're in battleground states that trump won. they will see the evidence. they will have to pick a side. i'm hoping once they see evidence they can't ignore it anymore. maybe some of these democrats come over to the border security side and force the white house to do something. i'm hoping oversight hearings will give us some of that. the borer patrol agents are counting on that. james: i would hope at some point, charles, the white house would realize the opportunity

here, not just for them politically to benefit, look if we don't have chaos, we could actually use a lot of these people could be wonderful, new americans ready to work hard and contribute. we just can't have this lawlessness. tom was talking about secretary mayorkas. my impression is that he is not the main problem. that joe biden is the problem and if you had leadership at the white house, the department could act and would act to carry out that policy s that your impression or does oversight really need to go much deeper a problem beyond the white house? >> look, secretary mayorkas is carrying out the direction of the administration and the president, that is apparent. mayorkas leads the largest law enforcement department in the united states. so based on that, based on the actions that he has and hasn't taken he has lost all credibility within the department, within the largest gun carrying population in the

united states and all these law enforcement officers, the men and women are tired of being thrown under the bus. you have cpb that has been hung out to dry. you have the other law enforcement components within dhs waiting their turn, seeing what happened to cpb. look, the bottom line is, the emperor has no clothes. everybody realizes this administration even if they wanted to take actions are too incompetent to solve the problem. you see it in the dissent of justice gorsuch in the supreme court, we're here to term the law because we're not here as policy-makers because the executive branch can't do their job. james: tom, we wanted to go. i want to give you a shoutout at that one as well. if the president decided tomorrow to enforce the law and also seek a rational policy along with both parties in congress, do you get optimistic? do you think there remain as big

leadership problem at dhs. >> this, in isn't mismanagement. this is isn't incompetence this. is by design. this is open borders. this is what they want. secretary mayorkas needs to be impeached. he is secretary of homeland security. if this is a security issue resign in protest. he has no integrity, bottom line. he needs to be impeached. james: thank you, tom homan, charles marino. coming up next the china threat. the white house banning tiktok from all devices as millions of security concerns for americans remains unaddressed. president vows to hold southwest accountable after thousands are gerald passy is next. son, we offer the custom dental treatments you need,

♪. james: no flight cancellations for air force one as the president vacations in virgin islands. meanwhile americans facing a travel disaster this holiday season. transportation secretary pete buttigieg vowing to hold southwest airlines accountable for thousands of flights, canceled or delays the last few days alone.

jacqui heinrich in st. croix with the latest. >> reporter: air force one got president biden to his caribbean vacation no problem. thousand of americans were not so lucky. his administration is vowing to hold southwest airlines to the customer service commitments. everything from meal vouchers, hotels to refunds. >> you remember earlier this year, especially over the summer we saw a lot of problems with a lot of airlines, i pressed them to increase service commitments to customers. they put that's in writing now that they have put it in writing we can enforce that. we're able to get passengers millions of dollars in refunds this year alone. >> reporter: so you west trying to get commission trust may face a tough road ahead. there may be scrutiny from congress. >> moneys paid out during covid they were paid out to maintain the payroll and maintain the workforce. >> reporter: bloomberg reports the carrier vice president of ground operations declared a state of operational emergency at the airport after flushly

high number of employee absences according to a december 21st message to ramp workers. transportation secretary pete buttigieg faced criticism for not getting solved until the meltdown was several days in including from house judiciary republicans. he responded to that with a blitz of tv appearances, calls to the southwest ceo and a pledge to keep an eye on things. president biden also tweeted a link for people to see if they're entitled to compensation. james? james: thank you, jacqui heinrich. for more on the biden administration response to this holiday travel nightmare, let's welcome "wall street journal" reporter, jacob pass sy thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. james: help me understand. i thought over the years southwest was seen as a pretty competent operator. i think they were reporting pretty good earnings as recently as a few months ago. why is this only a southwest

problem when the weather is bad in so much of the country? >> yeah. they have definitely taken a reputational hit because of this. so a number of factors, all right are here? one of the biggest ones being that the software that they rely on to schedule crews, meaning pilots, flight attend dan where they go next, that. that broke down over the weekend into this week. so they had to return to manuel methods of figuring out where folks were. they didn't really know where many of their employees even were across the country after the storms subsided. also southwest route from other airlines. they hopscotch across the country whereas other carriers tend to rely on hub and spoke model, flights going out major hundred. you see less network wide issues, using that model which is different from what southwest does.

james: was this a problem that lots of people were talking about earlier? were institutional investors saying southwest you have to upgrade your it? it's a big problem, you're falling down on the job. you will have a disaster. this kind of surprised everybody? >> it is not a huge surprise according to folks on the inside. we heard from the pilots and flight attendants unions they had been raising the alarm about antiquated technology that southwest was using. officials from the airlines have said that they were aware of this, that these software was at the end of its life, they were going to replace it in the upcoming year. so you know, timing was not on their side in this case. they are generally reliable. for what its worth over thanksgiving they only had 70 some odd cancellations. they have weathered other weather props problems well in

the past. this was confluence of factors and how widespread their system was hurt that in particular. this was an issue that some folks saw coming. james: i guess i'm also wondering what the federal government is going to add to this at this point? i mean, i think you can expect some very uncomfortable hearings for southwest executives if this story remains in the news. there is no really suggestion of wrongdoing. it sounds like it is more a lack of capitol allocated to technology or is there maybe more to this? >> we're certainly going to see i would imagine at least hearing in the senate commerce commit committee will look into this issue. i would expect u.s. d.o.t. investigating this. how will southwest respond in

terms of refunds an reimbursements. airlines are required to give you a refund if you don't want to rebook with them, or canceled. but a lot of folks incurred thousands of dollars expenses, renting cars, booking hotel rooms and booking other airlines. how much southwest does that department, that could tell us response we'll see from the federal government in terms of more hearings, penalties, things like that. james: jacob before we go i'm wondering are there airlines that have stood out for their good performance? we're obviously seeing a lot of headlines about southwest all of these people stranded, where the baggage is going. are there airlines that either in this issue or over the last few years have really done well on this score? >> that is a great question. and it's a tough one to answer because you know i feel like over the past couple of years,

you know it is just a game of lottery with these airlines in terms of who will be next or having a meltdown. we've seen multiple major carriers have meltdowns. maybe not to this scale but certainly someone trying to get somewhere on a flight. doesn't matter if it is on the scale or not, you will be annoyed if the flight is canceled. what i would suggest consumers do just take a hook at, you know the track record for specific flight they're going on or a specific route, look which carrier is most reliable for that. rather than looking overall performance. james: good call, thanks, jacob. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> get ready a new study suggests that gas prices could return to the 4-dollar per gallon range by middle of next year. a the china threat. the house banning tiktok from all staff devices as security concerns from millions of americans remain unaddressed.

congressman mark green from house foreign affairs commit thee is up next on "the evening edit".

james: tiktok is banned on all u.s. house official devices as more state governments also move to ban the national security threat, or at least potential threat. the chinese owned app is accessible used by millions of americans daily. white house telling fox business it cannot comment on ongoing

review of the app. hillary vaughn has more. >> reporter: good evening, james, this applies to lawmakers, congressional staffers, if they have tiktok on their phone they have to delete it immediately. this tiktok ban applies to government devices. lawmakers want to do more to get tiktok off all phones. >> this is first step. they use technology, follow, trace us, biometrics, everything we see on the phone where we search. everything. it is important we keep the chinese communist party in check. prevent them from continuing to do surveillance at the mass rate. >> reporter: tiktok spokesperson pushing back on the ban in this statement, it is troubling that to encourage the administration to conclude the national security review of tiktok, some members of congress pushing for politically motivated bans that will do nothing to advance the national security of the united states. tiktok is still trying to

convince government officials that they are not a national security risk and get the green light to stay operational in the u.s. still be unchinese ownership as part of beijing based parent company bytedance. even though tiktok says the chinese communist party will remain hands off u.s. user data, not all lawmakers are convinced. >> any business in bed with the chinese communist party we need to take a real long, hard, look, what they are trying to do. they have been doing this for decades, whether it is ip, they're stealing ip from american companies. whether they're using apps to spy on american citizens. >> reporter: senator marco rubio has proposed legislation would put a nationwide ban on tiktok on all smartphones for all americans. with a third of americans using tiktok on their phones something like that is sure to get a lot of blow back. james? james: thank you, hillary vaughn. joining us to house foreign affairs, congressman mark green. congressman, thanks for joining

us. >> thanks, james. james: the federal government executive branch employees can't use it. house staff, u.s. house staff can't use it. bunch of state universities have banned it. does this largely in your view address the potential national security threar it really need to be banned as mr. rubio ask suggesting? >> james, thanks for having me on. you know you just had tom homan talking about our southern border. we've got a big problem with our fourth border, our cyber border and one of the key aspects of that is data mining. data is the new oil in this economy and any country that wants to control its population or control other populations, other people, the more data the better. and so, yes, i think tiktok is a problem, as long as it is connected to bytedance in china, it has to conform to chinese

security laws which mandate the data is shared with the ccp. any use of ticktok is a threat to the national security. james: do you worry about, if there is a total ban put in place it encourages more government regulation of a sector that is delivering lots of benefits? a big part of our economy because i think you're going to hear if there is a tiktok ban, about all of the other social media companies that some of your colleagues will want to fix in some way or another? >> you make a great point because americans company that are based in our silicon valley are operating in china and the question is, is how much cooperation are they giving with not only data but think about the power of a.i. with that data. so research facilities, helping the chinese develop their artificial intelligence which then relies on that data to make

its decisions, there are companies in the united states that are u.s. companies, that have offices in china, the question is how much data are they sharing? james: would you be for i guess the trump era answer to this, which is split tiktok off from its chinese owner? if this was a u.s. owned company, would you be comfortable with it? or are you still worried about existing connections that might be sending information back to the peoples republic? >> well data trafficking and there is a great new book on this that just recently came out that talks about american companies too but at least with american companies we can regulate those companies. we can say look, this is what you can share, this is what you can't share about americans. as long as it is owned by the chinese we don't have that say. yes, if it becomes in some way owned by an american you know, business or company then yes, i'm open to it but only with us tightening our regulations on the data that gets shared on

americans. we're talking about millions of americans whose personal data, they're being tracked, their locations where they go, things they buy, websites they visit, all that information helps the chinese communist party build a.i. and then basically, they can use it for disinformation. they can use it for advancing their own economic products vis-a-vis american companies. that economic competition is just as much of a threat as military. so, yes, absolutely. james: congressman, last thing before we go, do you predict tiktok will be banned in the u.s.? >> i can't make that prediction right now. there are some factors. there are a lot of people who find it, a lot of young people use it as a means of communication and entertainment. so yeah, i can't make that prediction, sorry. it is my hope. james: okay. we'll see, we'll leave it there. thanks, congressman. >> thanks. james: up next new york congressman elect george santos

facing bipartisan calls to step down after being accused of lying on multiple aspects of his resume', employment, education, even his religious background. get ready a new study suggests that gas prices could return to the four dollar per gallon range by middle of next year. phil flynn and neil tatergy next on "the evening edit". waiting. sometimes it's just inevitable. but if you're over 50 or live with a chronic condition, untreated covid could be deadly. got covid symptoms? get tested and get treated right away. it can't wait.

james: well we might not be in the clear from high gas prices after all. new study from gas buddy shows gas prices could return to the $4 per gallon range by may 2023. joining me with reaction price futures group senior analyst, phil flynn. we have energy commission chairman, neil tratgy. thanks for joining us. neil in the 1970s, many times they thought inflation was going away, then it would roar back. the latest estimate from gas

buddy saying summer driving season will be rough in terms of gas prices next summer. what do you think? are we headed toward a period of mild prices or should consumers expect the worse here? >> i think we're in a period of just gas price volatility and it is likely to be here for the foreseeable future. you look at what is happening right now with russia, with demand coming up as china reopens and the fact that we're struggling to send the right market signals to increase domestic energy production here at home in the u.s. this combination of factors is just put us into a new era of gas price volatility that sadly is probably going to hit americans later this spring or this summer. james: phil, let's talk about u.s. production. a lot of frustration by americans that u.s. government

is not encouraging u.s. fossil fuel production. what does that tell you about 2023 and the production? >> you're talking about the price gougers and profiteers? that is what the biden administration calls them. this is the most unfriendly administration ever. they have not only disencouraged investment but maligned the industry in many ways. it doesn't make it a very attractive investment. it sends signals around the world that the u.s. isn't a great place to invest. go back to the gasoline prices, the biden administration is so happy that prices have come down. they're patting themselves on the back. no responsibility when they to up but americans are still paying according to gas buddy report 112% more than they were two years ago when president biden came into office. you add to that the fact that the reason why prices came down were the strategic petroleum

reserve releases. that is pretty much done. they have five million barrels to release. after that you will see gas prices start shooting up. james: neil, hate to be a downer but we had an op-ed in our paper today from timothy fitzgerald. incentives to produce crude oil but not enough problem refining capacity in the u.s. do you see that as a factor driving prices higher going forward? >> no question about it. refiners in the u.s. need to increase capacity but they need a clear signal from the federal government that the rug is not going to be pulled out from underneath them in order to get capital to, get investment. that has been the problem. the administration has really struggled to identify where they want to go. do they want to satisfy environmentalists or do they want to help our allies by, help ukraine and these mixed messages are really clouding the investment picture which is

preventing these refineries from fully capitalizing and the irony is, if we increase domestic production and displaced filthy, russian oil, on the global market, we actually help the environment as well. james: okay. phil, speaking of filthy russian oil, vladmir putin in response to the west price cap is suggesting he may withhold oil from the market or not sell it in certain situations. but he seems to have left himself a lot of leeway if he wants to find a way to sell it. is this, is this just a non-virtue signal from him? what dowhat do you think russiaa big impact on prices in the coming year or does that oil end up getting to market as largely as it always has? >> i think it is going to get to the market but i don't think you can underestimate vladmir putin when he makes a threat, you know, to other countries in cutting off their oil supplies. every time you know, for

example, the biden administration downplayed the possibility that he would invade ukraine in the first place, and they were wrong, you can't underestimate this guy. at the same time though there is lot of ambiguity in the price cap thing. seems like both sides there is out for everybody. if demand is really there we can get around it but i don't think you underestimate him. i think he will call it. james: thanks to both of you for joining us. next up a new study shows the debt very detrimental effects of remote learning t goes way beyond education but to the bottom line in years ago. congressman george santos faces bipartisan calls to step down, lying on his resume' with education, even religious background. batya ungar-sargon from "the evening edit". about money anym

>> yeah i've been talking with people who worked with him throughout the campaign, journalists had him on their shows, people promoted him, the word keeps coming up betrayal. just the level of lies. you know a total fabrication, a real fab youist, question where the money came from, he went from claiming $55,000 on a tax return, toe millions. there is questions where the money came from. there are questions here. james: he might really have the money. that is not another fabrication. that is at the root of calls to investigate him? he is suddenly wealthy and how did he get it? >> the question where did that money come from. there is reporting that a russian oligarch is involved. that is the kind of thing you definitely want to know. i will say the fab youism aside, lying to the american people aside there is a larger question raised by this, if you look what he lied about, having a college degree, having worked at goldman

and citigroup. i think we need to have a larger conversation about the way that we gate keep who is allowed into the political system. he felt that he needed to lie about those things that are not requirements for being a politician but if you look at our politicians today, the vast majority of them are college he had kayed whereas only 33% of americans have a degree. that mismatch bears investigation. not to excuse what he did there is larger conversation needed. james: needed, wanted, a lot of people would argue that. also if we're talking about investigating, or these calls not to seat him, i think this is a difficult road to go down because to some extent all politicians lie or tell falsehoods and you wonder who is the arbiter of how much is too much but, i'm also just wondering, you mentioned the sense among journalists they were betrayed by him but that just seems like an odd feeling

or outlook for a journalist. we're supposed to be skeptical, cynical. >> right. james: were they a little too much in love with his story? maybe a young, charismatic guy that they wanted to believe in. >> i think it is so interesting that the republican party was so eager to embrace this guy who is gay, hispanic, claimed he was jewish, not actually jewish it turns out but you really see this there is a hunger among republicans to have a more diverse party, to have more of that diversity in their representatives. i think that is real healthy thing. when it comes to this, it can go awry. the real question is, why, where was the opposition research during the campaign? james: yeah. opposition research, journalism. this is sort of our job in this industry i think, is to let people know who the candidates are and, one of the reasons i think it would be strange to not

seat him is that, the voters made the choice. we could blame them and say they should have looked over this guy more carefully but they picked him. >> yeah, absolutely. of course there are plenty of examples of current politicians who lied about all sorts of things. james: might be able to think of a few, yes. thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. james: when we come back the new study shows detrimental effects had learning remote learning on our children even impacting lifetime earnings. stanford university professor will discuss next on "the evening edit".
