will: straight to a fox weather alert, at least six people including a child are dead and dozens more hurt after two tornadoes barreled through parts of tennessee, kentucky and mississippi yesterday. >> oh, [bleep] oh, my god. rachel: searching through the rubble for any known survivors, nashville 's mayor says the city's left completely upside e down as the area is suffering from extensive damage. pete: residents are waking up in the dark this morning as tens of thousands of people are without power, more than 40,000 without electricity in tennessee alone. let's turn now to our chief meteorologist rick reichmuth. rick: yeah, so pretty dynamic situation yesterday, we'll tell you we had forecast storms, but i think even we didn't see this coming to be this significant like what we saw yesterday. right now 23 reports of

tornadoes from this storm. that'll whittle down a little bit once they get out and do some of the investigating, but that storm the around clarksville ended up being the deadliest yesterday. as we just mentioned, about 45,000 people still in tennessee without power. behind the storm, by the way, it's going to be much colder, so being without power in december is going to be pretty uncomfortable. this is the broader storm, that area of low pressure up across parts of canada, it's this front that's causing still a lot of dynamic weather. one tornado, excuse me, one tornado warning in effect just to the west with of columbia with -- or columbus, georgia, that is moving off towards the northeast. so be very careful if you're around the columbus, georgia, area morning. that radar-indicated storm could potentially produce a tornado. all of this is going to pull off towards the east, and it's going to be a very intense day ofwet including some severe swet, possibly a tornado or two across parts of coastal south carolina, areas of north carolina as well. the northern side of this storm,

by the way, throughout the late afternoon into tonight is going to bring us a lot of rain and potential flooding concerns across parts of connecticut especially. i think that's going to be a bull's eye. some places maybe 5 inches of rain, it's also a really windy storm. high wind warnings in effect across much of the northeast, so be prepared for that. and behind this, colder air is in place, so we'll see a lot of snow, but that's far interior, the i-9 5 corridor, strong winds that could cause some damage as well. pete: rick, this is real close to us. why was it so quick? i mean, that was the thing, a warning went out, but before that it wasn't real severe weather. there was watching and -- watches all that, but it went straight to tornado. rick: the storm prediction center out of oklahoma hadn't seen this being that dynamic yet, and yesterday early afternoon there was just one cell that suddenly popped up. a tornado produced from it very quickly and did not have a lot of warning for that storm.

so, i mean, i -- i don't know yet why the warnings weren't issued, but they were not issued with much time and, certainly -- pete: you're certainly right. it was an alert on the phone, and it was get to shelter now. a lot of people didn't have time. rick: yeah. of. pete: will: our next guest whose house was one of the worst hit says the tomorrow came as a total shock. pete: clarksville, tennessee, resident mckenzie underwood joins us on the phone. mckenzie, thank you for joining us. sorry for the damage. tell us what happened. what was the situation like last night for you? >> well, we, we were home and i have -- [inaudible] so our security system went off telling us there was a tornado warning. and following that we kind of checked the i radar and saw that there was a confirmed tornado, and it was heading right towards us. [laughter] so in the situation i took my four children down in the basement, and my fiance sat

outside and watched what was kind of going on. it wasn't even 5 minutes before it got to us. we were all down in the bathtub when it hit. [laughter] rachel: what rick said and what pete were alluding to is that it did happen very quickly in terms of the warning -- >> very quickly. rachel: you said you went down to the basement and you were in the tub? if is that what you said? >> yes. rachel: there's a bathroom down there? >> yes, me and my four children hopped in the bathtub as quick as we could. [laughter] will: and, mckenzie, when you came up from the base with. , what did you see? what was the damage in the area in. >> it was, it was pretty bad. all around the neighborhood trees were down. three trees in my yard went down. my garage kind of just blew away. [laughter] luckily, nobody was injured on

my street. a few houses over, unfortunately, there was people looking for -- one was looking for their children. somebody, they were looking for a man whose house kind of got completely flattened. luckily, mine wasn't as bad as their thats. theirs. ours was pretty much just concaved in. we had trees fall on the roof and thenning you know, the cars got damaged, but luckily nobody in my house got injured. pete: mckenzie, you said -- i know there was very little warning. how long did the storm last? was it the kind of thing that rolled right through, or were you down there for a long time? >> probably from the start of the tornado warning, i mean, the storm, like, came in and went through, and then it was fine. it rained for a little bit after, but it wasn't very severe after the fact. like, we got the tornado and

then it kind of was just rain after that. so it was pretty with quick. out kind of shook everything and you herald it. it was pretty traumatic. [laughter] rachel: mckenzie, really quick, how are you feeling just emotionally after this? >> i think i'm fine. i think it does, obviously, upset you when your family home kind of gets destroyed, but i think the kids were a little bit more shaken up about a it. rachel: of course. will: we're happy for your family, that everyone is okay. sorry for what you've lost in your home and your neighborhood and your town there in clarksville, but we wish you the best. you have our thoughts, our prayers. we appreciate you being with us this morning, mckenzie. >> thank you so much. rachel: god bless you, mckenzie. will: i imagine it's surreal. and, pete, i know your family was part of this story in a way last night, heeding these warnings. it's surreal to get them on your

phone and probably to think, nah, not here, surely. not right here. and then shift into, no, it's time, time to go into shelter e. pete: yeah. that's definitely what it was. by the way, clarksville is where the 101st airborne is, fort campbell, a a lot of military families. there were two tornado tracks, one up north and one just north of nashville right through madison, hendersonville and galaatin, and you've got a lot of fixed structure homes and a lot of mobile homes. one of the fatalities was in madison at a mobile home on a street we drive by on a regular basis. so if somethings quick like this, you just have nowhere to go. i was texting with friends who were at a walmart who had just gone to the local school because they had nowhere -- everyone was out and about doing their day. there was no forecast that it was coming. ray e iowa yeah, it's christmas time. pete: and suddenly it was a tornado warning imminent, and

everyone tried to find shelter. i got the warning on my phone, i called her, he was already in the bunker and didn't even want to show mow what -- show me what it looked like. rachel: you were just talking, will, yesterday with janice how quickly these things can happen. mckenzie went through it. hopefully, other people are -- she seems like she's got some good wits about her. hopefully others are also feeling as hopeful as she is in the aftermath. will: we'll keep you updated all throughout the morning. another update haas night from a story we've been to covering throughout the week, and that is the presidents of several ivy league colleges who testified before congress, the university of pennsylvania, mit, harvard. in this exchange with elise stefanik which absolutely left everyone shocked and waiting for the next shoe to drop. remember this. >> does calling for the genocide of vews violate penn's rules or

code of conduct, yes or no? >> if the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment, yes. >> i am asking specifically calling for the genocide of jews, does that constitute bullying or harassment? >> if it is direct canned and severe, it is harassment. >> so the answer yes. >> it is a context decision, congresswoman. >> it's a context-dependent decision, that's your testimony today, calling for the genocide of jews is depending upon the context? that is not bullying or harassment? if this is the easiest question to answer yes, ms. magill. so is your testimony that you will not answer yes? >> if it is -- >> yes or no -- do if the peach becomes conduct, it can be harassment, yes. >> conduct meaning committing the act of genocide? the speech is not harassment?

this is unacceptable, ms. magill. will: that shoe has dropped. that second shoe has dropped. magill has resign ised as a president of university of pennsylvania. rachel: yeah. pete: liz magill resigned, and the chairman of the board for the university of pennsylvania, she was under fire, by the way, even before october 7th. there was -- because we're doing a documentary on this, and she had welcomed a to-palestinian from the river to the sea group to campus, then october 7th happened, then it took her i think it was almost two weeks to respond in a strong way. then she went to capitol hill smugly and wouldn't say -- this is a woman who has been, would probably regularly say speech can be violence. yet in this particular case can, that speech, she wouldn't condemn it universally. rachel: yeah. she's probably the queen of snowflakes, right? but in this case, she says -- i found that exchange so interesting because elise

stefanik really tried to give her so many chances to, you know, just change what she said, and she just wouldn't do it. and so now she's down. by the way, $1000 million in donations -- 100 million in donations, yeah, donations to the university were threatened unless, you know, she was fired. and so that happened. and that's where we're at. elise testify nick's reaction to this -- stefanik's reaction to this, she posted one down, two to go. this is only the very beginning of addressing the pervasive rot of anti-semitism that has destroyed the most prestigious higher education institutions in america. this forced resignation of the president of penn is the bare minimum of what's required. harvard, mit, do the right thing. the world is watching. again, it's about anti-semitism, but it's also a bigger story about speech on campus, about the treatment of anyone who has

a diverse point of view especially if you're conservative. what the jewish population is facing in these schools is what conservative students have been facing for a long time. so many of them have been canceled and threatened as well, so it's a big issue. pete: no doubt. and it'll be interesting to see whether these other campuses take that same step. i think u-penn was the most obvious one because of the preconditions that were there. we'll see if this testimony leads to -- and we shouldn't call them, she's right, they're not the most prestigious or elite, they're just the most expensive. [laughter] that's it. they're just the most expensive. you can pay more to have your kid indoctrinated by nonsense. will: pete and i will go off the wall at 8:40 breaking down this wave of anti-semitism on college campuses. rachel: all right. let's bring in raymond arroyo. he's having a special edition of

breakfast with friends on "fox & friends" weekend, and he is live from strong eat shop in shreveport, louisiana. raymond, so good to see you. good morning. >> hey. hey, guys. look, i am so diluted, look, anytime i can show off a little bit of louisiana culture, you know i love that. we're in shreveport at strongs eat shop and look at this crowd.

now. art, thanks for being with us. you know, that's quite a different tune, first of all, from the governor of arizona. this was something that seemed to be not that big of a priority to her when he was running for governor. and i guess now things have changed. >> well, how much have they changed though? because she's asking for financial help when what she should be calling out the federal government and the administration is for enforcing our nation's laws. what she needs to be calling out is, hey, bring back policies that work. but, no, she's taking it from just a financial standpoint and, actually, she's doing it because of tourism, because of the port of entry being closed down. she got tired of the phone calls of people that actually hold property in rocky point. she should be taking a stance when it comes to law enforcement and protecting our nation's borders new policies that work, detaining individuals that cross, not continuing to reward these people by releasing them into the united states. will: it really is shocking, art. i know you're based out of the tucson sector and, by the way, here are some shocking numbers, 5,000 illegal immigrants

you know, any terrorist threat because not only, you know, the individuals are coming from all over the world that are turning themselves in that they get vetted, but not just through our system. so if they don't have any priors in america, then, of course, they get released pending their immigration trial. but at the same time, you said it, look at the gotaways. where are the gotaways from? if you're getting individuals from 150 different countries turning themselves in, you have to know a lot of those gotaways are from these 150 different countries. will: right. just stunning. the video illustrates what we're talking about, just the united nations of population there the at the border fence. and then soon on the american side and into every town across america. art del cueto, thanks for being with us this morning. >> thank you for having me. will: still ahead, to a fox weather alert, at least six people are dead after tornadoes ripped through tennessee. rick has the latestst coming up. plus, congressman and army veteran corey mills joins us live on the chilling new threat from iran-backed proxy forces.

rachel: well, there are more than 2 million farms in america, but did you know that a quarter of them are run by new farmers who have been in business for less than 10 years? our next guest says farming is not only a great asset to the community, but also for financial security calling it the new 401(k). here to explain, farmer, author joel salati. joel, welcome to "fox & friends." it's so great to have you on. we had you on our podcast, i had to have you back on our show, because it's now my new favorite podcast we ever did.

tell us why you think the farm is so great. >> well, you know, we live in a profound time of dysfunction and distrust in our culture. and when you have times of dysfunction and distrust, intuitively you understand that if you, if you want self-reliance, if you want to be disentangled from a system that is unwinding, you want an agrarian bunker. you don't want to be stuck in the city. so there's a homestead tsunami going on of people buying small acreages, homesteads, farmsteads to be able to grow -- to be near people who know how to fix things, grow things and build things. and that's the new 401(k). rachel: i mean, it just, it's exactly what i want to do. and so you say that covid had a lot to do with this tsunami that you call it in homesteading and small farms. >> yes, it did. you know, for the first time in my life, store shelves were

empty. so you had a double whammy. you had the store schells empty and the fragility of a long, of a long chain of food custody and the inability of large companies to be able to adjust quickly. and then you had putin invading quain which then made fertilizer costs go up. and so suddenly now there's interest in composting and do it yourself, do it yourself fertility, do it yourself food, developing a food pantry and, you know, as a important as cash is, food is probably more important. rachel: yeah, absolutely. and what also happened during covid, i think, was that people who were healthier survived it better than those who weren't, and now wily in a culture where we eat things that we don't, you know, in packages that have ingredients that we can't even pronouns, right? so this is -- pronounce, right? so this is a way to get back to the way we abused to eat and be healthier, right? >> yeah. for the first time in human

history, we're continually consuming things that you can't make in your kitchen and things that you can't pronounce, and that turns us into human guinea pigs. our micro bio which is, of course, the new arena of health study, is showing that a lot of this crazy artificial stuff is not really good for us. we know that now. and so if there's one thing that you don't want to be when the wheels fall off, you don't want to be sick, you don't want to be the one lying in bed saying, hey, y'all, as you leave the front door, can you take me with you? rachel: yes. >> you want to be healthy. so the whole health thing is a big deal too. rachel: one of the pearls of wisdom you shared with us is a culture that fails to act how to have happy pigs will not know how to have happy little girls and boys either. there's just so much about getting back to that faith. and i think what was so inspirational for me was that you say you don't have to have 100 acres, you can have 5 acres.

but even if you don't have a farm, joel, you say we can still learn these skills that our grandparents had, you know, right in our even kitchens. how to make butter, how to make candles, how to can. these are skills we can learn every day. >> yeah, they certainly are. you can sprout beans in a quarter jar on your window sill. you can have a composting kit under your sink, you know? rachel: yeah. >> you can do a lot of things yourself as you prepare. rachel: well, that's the can-do american spirit. my husband, thanks to you, is inspired. he's having his year of learning how to do stuff. he's doing his own butter, his own candles. you are just an inspiration. check out our podcast, it's from the kitchening table, and look for the new 401(k) is the title of the podcast. thanks so much for joining us, joel. >> thank you. rachel: we'll be right back. es are ours too.
