>> oh [bleep] oh, by god. pete: we begin this hour with a fox weather alert. thousands of residents are left in the dark this morning as two tornadoes rip through parts of tennessee, kentucky and mississippi. rachel: at least six people, including a child, were killed after the tornadoes touched down. will: on the ground in nashville with the latest. nicole. >> reporter: will, pete, ray i chel, good morning to you all. it is a heartbreaking day here in the only in music city, but across the state of tennessee as several families are now mourning the six who lost their lives after those several tornado-warned storms moved through the area. behind me you're looking at just one community that was hit maybe the hardest. this is madison, tennessee. and you'll notice here we're only a few miles outside downtown nashville, but you can take a look at just the sheer destruction and the force of the

potential tornado that moved through the area here. it's hard to see, of course, as we're still waiting for the sun to rise, but there are several homes here that have severe, severe damage. all across the community power is out, that means those power lights are out, unfortunately. i saw a traffic accident just trying to get here this morning because so many people struggling to get with around trying to figure out where to go. meanwhile, of course, we know this is not the only county mourning several lost. over in montgomery county, those in clarksville, also dealing with significant damage there, three other lives lost towards the tennessee-kentucky border. fort campbell army base also at one point was without power last night. so this is still a very tough situation for a lot of people. obvious, at dawn today we'll sort of get a much better idea as to how much damage we're looking at, but power outages remain to be one of the top focuses here among, of course, making sure that those who may have lost their homes or who

have significant damage are finding a shelter to stay in, finding the resourceses they need. we know more than 30,000 across the volunteer state are still in the dark. we know how dangerous that can be when we're talking about damage like this, guys. really a tough thing to be talking about just two weeks hate of christmas. ahead of christmas. will: all right, thank you, nicole, for that report. rachel: thank you, nicole. all right. well, donald trump was actually in new york city and had a fundraiser here in the city, and when he was there, he talked the about these indictments that are up against him. and, basically, he said that all of this is all political, it's all meant to take him off the stage because he is the strongest political opponent up against joe biden. here's that he had to say. he said i'm being indicted for you. these are not indictments in the traditional sense, these are biden indictments. he's opened up a pandora a's box that may never let our country be the same again. that's a very good bad thing.

i only can say to joe this: to be very careful what you wish for. today want to silence me because i will never let them silence you. and in the end, they're not after me, they're after you. i just happened to be standing in their way. that is a very we potent, powerful message for conservatives. pete: no doubt. he was peeking to the new york -- speaking to the new york young republicans here in new york city last night. we're going to try to get that tape. we've had video issues this morning, so we weren't able to show the video, but that was a part of a readout of what he had to say. but when you think back to 2015 and the disruptive outsider candidate that he was -- rachel: yeah. pete: -- and the way in which republicans at fist and them then democrats, the whole hillary clinton machine and then obama-biden machine used every level of government, first campaigning and then every level of government to dry him, yes,

they did open up a pandora's box, and now they're trying to point the finger back and say, well, you're the autocrat, you're the dictator when nothing in his background suggests that's the case at all. he was just unwelcome at the table and always has been. so they've been willing to do anything to defeat him. and i think that's why you -- look at that diner with raymond arroyo. why are people in shreveport, louisiana are, hooting and hollering for a new york city if billionaire? rachel: right. pete: it's because they connect to the ethos of someone who never, ever backs down and stands for the core values of the country. it's an amazing connections that he has with voters, but it has put our country in a precarious place. will: you know how when you're watching an nfl game there's a fight and all of a sudden the refs throw the flags? there's a rule when you're watching, everyone understands it, they always get the second guy with the flag, not the guy that first shoves or punches, it's the guy that reacting and -- reacts and they say, oh, that a guy penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct.

i think you're watching that, in essence, play out in the mainstream media. to the extent this moment last night is covered, it'll be covered like everything else, a second tear presidency based upon retribution. but what it totally ignores is the autocratic move, the dictatorial move using the justice department to, yes, run sham or at the most charitable very weak indictments against a man running for president. and so you, therefore, have opened pandora's box. that's a truth in the statement. and the secondary truth is proven over time, this is about not just donald trump or it's about anyone who said the wrong thing, continues to say the wrong thing on covid, on the origins of covid, on race, on trans issues, on, on and on and on. it's about you. and everyone has seen that they have become the victim of a government intent on dictate thing the path of this, of the minds of this country. and donald trump is the

spearhead. rachel: you know, it's interesting, i saw a quote by nikki haley this week. i think it was just in the last couple days. she said, you know, donald trump did a lot of great things. i'm not denying that he was the right man at the right time. but -- and then she started to make the case for herself. she said but what we need is someone when doesn't have so much chaos around him, and i'm that person because chaos, for whatever reason, surrounds this man. donald trump. and i thought, wow, she's just really missed the point because the reason the chaos is around donald trump is that donald trump is a threat to the is system -- to the system in a way that nikki haley is not. and, you know, you talked about, pete, the people that came after him, you know? the bidens, the obamas, the hillary machine, everything that he's had to fight hoaxes, russia hoax and indictments. but in there as a well were establishment republicans, and they're still there. these are the billionaires who are funding some of the other candidates. and they feel very threatened by

donald trump because donald trump owes nothing to anybody. he's beholden to no one. and he has very natural gut instinct of, one, that he loves america and, two, a business sense about how to handle the country. and that is a threat to people who have very deep pockets and deep vested interests in the way they are. pete: i mean, you just mentioning the hoax thing, i didn't even mention, they manufactured an entire case about connections to vladimir putin and russia a and used our intelligence services the try to prime the pump so that he could be impeached. a whole special -- rachel: yeah. and he was impeached, pete, for calling out the corruption that we now know was happening between ukraine and the biden, you know, fam huh business. pete: -- family business. pete: is and now we're learning that mr. vindman seems to be profiting off of the war -- rachel: oh, we should do a story

on that. i want 40 tear -- to hear more about that. will: raymond arroyo is doing a special edition of breakfast with friends. good morning. >> i'm going to ask the question that the guys on the couch were just discussing. do you believe that these indictments against donald trump are political? the show of hands or applause. [cheers and applause] you do. okay. sir, why do you think they're political? >> oh, it's a witch hunt. of it's all they have, you know? when you have no substance of an argument against someone, you trash them. and i believe that's what's happening. >> let me ask someone i heard from earlier. i heard earlier that -- oh, no. i heard from earlier that you believe that this is not only a witch hunt, but what impact do you think it could have on the election? >> well, as far as i'm concerned, it's going to want to make me vote for trump even more

than before. >> so this could actually galvanize the vote for him. >> that's correct. they're going after trump because he doesn't work for them, he works for us. >> okay. [applause] look, some strong opinions in this diner. we're going to dive dive deeper into it and some other issues. mike job soften, the speaker of the house, this is his district. we're going to talk to him later, and i'm going to go have more grits. more "fox & friends" on the other side of this break. thank you all for having us, by the way. [applause] rachel: thanks, raymond. that could be a new campaign slow taliban for donald trump. i don't work for them, i work for you. [laughter] will: turning now to your headline, we'll start in los angeles where the district attorney might prosecute a 25-year-old man accused of molesting children as a juvenile. prosecutors say that's because they don't have evidence of the suspect abusing children after his 18th birth birthday. an attorney for the victims' family calling out george gascon saying his policies are an epic

failure. gascon has tried serious crimes in juvenile court before, prosecuting hannah tubbs for sexually assaulting a little girl at 17 despite being charged as an adult. one of hunter biden's closest business associates will testify before the house oversight committee next month. eric schwerin served as president of rosemont seneca partners, one of hunter 's investment firm. e-mails from the if first son's laptop hoe that he was intimately involved with both hunter and president biden's finances. now on to a huge free agent deal in major league baseball. superstar shohei ohtani signing a record-breaking 10-year, $7000 million contract with the los angeles -- 700 million contract with the dodgers. ohtani will make an average of $70 million per year which translates to nearly $6 million a month and more than $19 0,000

each day over the next decade. and those are your headlines. really quick, i was -- pete: not bad. rachel: wow. will: -- at a christmas party yesterday, we were talking about what guys make -- pete: you were talking with guys at the party about what you make? [laughter] here's what i make, what do you make? rachel: those are new york customs. will: no. it was the world's highest paid soccer player, i believe, is in the $20 million a year. i believe mahomes is $40 million a year -- pete: they showed him at $435. will: did we have that up? pete: yeah -- will: and how much a year was it? pete: it wasn't overall contract value -- that would be right, it's probably a 10-year contract? will: i don't know the length of his -- i'm going to bet that's 10. pete: they don't do more than -- will: and i don't know what lebron is, probably $50 million a year. this is a big jump to $70 million a year. now, he's one of a kind, ohtani.

pete: he is, but i thought that number could have been even higher if he hadn't been injured. i remember people thinking it was a $900 million contract before the injury. will: i don't know. yeah. pete: because it's not about -- it's about all the residual value that someone like him brings. will: will oh, yeah, japanese market -- and, by the way, you have to throw out the saudi stuff. they're getting stupid stuff. throw that out. it's funny money. pete: would they pay us that money if we did "fox & friends" in vape e ya? will: i don't know. rachel: i immediately demand we move to saudi arabia. will: rachel, that's -- [inaudible conversations] pete: that's not going to work. rachel: i won't be able to wear this dress -- pete: probably not a good idea. will: they won't take you seriously. just move on. rachel: all right. the university of michigan has a study on genetics, and here's what the study says. it says one thing that is relatively clear is that having children is more beneficial to longevity than not having children at all. and what we measured was the

probability of living to the age of 76. those with children have a 55-10 percentage -- 5-10 is percentage point advantage over those without children. and interestingly, or we found that having two kids was the longest life spanker having fewer or more kids both lower the life span. and this is an interesting thing because it's on the heels of in social media a lot of young people are celebrating their lifestyle as dinks. if you don't know what that means, it means that you are dual income, no kids. and and here's some of what these videos look like on tiktok. >> we get a full 8 hours of sleep and sometimes more. [laughter] >> we're dinks. we get desserts and appetizers. >> of course we're going to go out to eat every night after water. >> we never have money for a

babysitter. >> we're dinks. our house is almost always clean. >> [inaudible] pete: can't lie, that all sounds pretty great. [laughter] rachel: i was just going to say, some of the dinks, they wake up just so leisurely on a saturday. will: i remember those days. rachel: i do too. you woke up leisurely and you just were or, like, we want to go have coffee or breakfast. it just was -- there is some truth to that. there is something about that. but, but you miss out on the joys of children. i'm sorry, there's just -- it's just the most beautiful part of life. will: oh, for sure. i think, and i don't know, i haven't really dove into the dinks tiktoks, but i don't think they're saying forever, right? i think it's, like, enjoy your life. i don't know how many years was i married before we had kids, two or three? yeah, enjoy that moment, the two of you together. it is, obviously, incredibly fulfilling. pete: it's also, i think, part of that whole trend is extending it, right? rachel: right.

>> through your 20s into your mid 30s. that kind of thing is the mindset. so this study from michigan says that the more kids you have, the longer you live? so you're going to live to, like, moses. you're going to live to, like, 120. rachel: not only that, the chances of me ending up alone in a nursing home with no one caring for me are really slim. pete: you've got to really mess it up. will: you're going to be old when you do that show in saudi arabia. [laughter] by the way, the same study -- the two was optimal. rachel: yeah, you're optimal. will: are you getting diminishing returns, or does it go the other -- pete: is this a bell curve? will's going to really nail it, but at nine kids, you're just -- you might not make it to next week. rachel: i feel so blessed. i feel so blessed. and i'm being really honest here. when cower in the middle of having it, having all these little kids, it can be chaotic. but i'm now in the stage where i have little kids, but i also are

older kids. and being able to see and enjoy the fruits of it, i sit around when they're all there, and i just can't believe how kick -- lucky -- will: we tried to make fun, and she dumped all over you. [laughter] pete: she dumped on me. rachel: we're going to -- you have seven. you're blessed too. pete: i know that. kids are a reflection of optimism, a reflection of investment -- rachel: and we do need to continue the species, let's just be honest. pete: that's a pretty practical thing to do. rachel: we're going to talk about dinks with anna kooiman -- pete: she's back? rachel: she's back. former "fox & friends" weekend host du jour. rachel: we're going to talk about that and other things on pop culture round-up, so be sure you stick around for that. pete: all right. a fox news alert. iran-backed proxy groups escalating threats around the world. 87 attacks on u.s. forces since

will: back with a fox news alert, smoke rising from the israeli-gauze a border -- gaza border as the idf carries out widespread strikes cover night. rachel: israeli solders finding hamas weapons hidden inside a stuffed ted by bear. pete: trey yingst is live on the ground in israel with the late. hey, trey. >> reporter: good to morning. it's day 65 of the war between israel and hamas. israeli forces are continuing their operations against hamas in the northern and southern part of gaza. i do want to just step out of the frame here and show you what this neighborhood looks like in northern gaza is. more than 10 weeks into this conflict, we're entering the 10th week now, you can see this black smoke rising from the horizon of gauze gaza. israelis say over the past 24 hours they've hit 250 different targets inside gaza. they continue to go after weapons storage facilities if other positions throughout the strip. the hamas-run ministry of health

says thousands have been killed since the conflict began. most of the focus in eastern gaza where the israelis say for the first time since the conflict began the artillery corps is operating inside gaza. they're also going after booby trapped houses that have been very difficult for israeli forces to operate among. since the ground operation began, more than9 0 israeli soldiers have been killed -- 90. i do want you to take a listen to the chief of staff who spoke about israeli efforts to destroy hamas. >> i mean -- [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: i see the achievements from day-to-day. we are seeing every day terrorists who are killed, also terrorists who are injured. in the last day we see terrorists who are surrendering. a sign of the collapse of the system. a sign that we need to press harder, and this is what you are doing. >> reporter: it's not just the southern front that remains active. also in southern lebanon the

israelis have responded with new airstrikes this weekend after renewed rocket fire, antitank guided missile attacks and also a just a broad tension across the northern front. there is a concern among israeli officials that hezbollah will get more directly involved in this fight, and even earlier today there were sirens sounding in northern israeli communities. guys? pete: trey, thank you very much for that report. and tensions are growing in that region for american forces. two more u.s. bases in syria attacked by iranian-backed militias yesterday. that's 87 attacks since october 17th. as the houthi rebels continue to target all ships heading to israel as well. will: america's commitment to israel highlighted as the tate department bypasses congress to approve the sale of more ammo. rachel: gop congressman and iraq war veteran cory mills sits on the house armed services committee and foreign affairs committee, and he joins us now. congressman, so great to have you here. explain this situation now.

>> well, basically what's happened is, is that congress set aside a $14.3 billion aid package that would have reallocated money that was intended for the irs with this 87,000, you know, deep state irs agents weaponized against the american people. the senate basically said we're not going to take that bill up. biden said going to e veto it, and now they're bypassing congressional authorities, bypassing the constitutional right of the article i, section 8, clause 11 or even the '73 war powers and trying to utilize e the aums as an emergency situation, that they can train 14,120 millimeter tanks rounds out but completely ignoring the elected officials that are in congress with our roles and responsibilities. pete: so the bill hasn't been passed yet which would allocate ethos courses -- resources, and the white house is saying we're ended sending that aid under emergency powers? >> why the package hand been approved, because you had the 2 democrats in the nat, chuck

schumer and mitch mcconnell, who refuse to actually approve this who won't take it up to the president's desk, and they're trying to cram in this multi-aid package because they want to send more money to ukraine. you've got joe biden who wants about $106 billion more money going to ukraine. we have demanded everything from the bill to define the mission act so we understand what the the military strategic objective, got shot down. we've asked how the money was allocated for a 100% audit on it, have never received it. and i will not vote one single penny to bal rotated to ukraine when we know the corruption going on and we have zero understanding of the oversight. rachel: are they laundering money? >> i think it's very possible. we can't take anything off of the table. when you've got that much money and you can't define how it's being utilized, that's a real problem for me. the circumveps of congress, also the fact that they will not uphold the constitution in any way. look, not that surprising for a guy who said the constitution is

not absolute. that was his exact comments. will: talking about these bills and whether or not we're going to bring -- by the way, we had the speaker just last weak and talking about whether or not they're going to bring these bills one at a time whether it's extending aid to israel, our border, versus tying everything together. we know now there's something like 30 people from the fbi's terror the watch list have been arrested trying to cross our southern border. that's this fiscal year which started october 1st. so 30 since october 1st. >> yeah. will: something's got to be done, and i don't understand why this isn't bipartisan. >> well, look, you're from the state of texas. you know all too well that our borders are completely open. instead of impeaching or trying to -- to oust someone like george santos, we should have been impeaching mayorkas. rachel: yes! >> just last week we had 12,000 illegals cross in a single day. we've got 1.8 million of gotaways, record high when it comes to how many were actually

on the terrorist watch list. the number one priority for me and many of my colleagues is securing our border. we passed in the house l.r. 2 -- h.r. 2 back in may, and the senate has refused to put it on the table because they want to use it as a leverage point to try and get more money in ukraine. well, i'm sorry, i'm not going to secure another country's border before i'm able to secure my own, basically taking a taxpayer, a guy who gets up before daylight, goes to bed doesn't see his kids, working extra shifts, and i'm going to tell you, guess what? 60% of your taxes, we're going to secure another country's border and not our own? rachel: keep fighting. pete: well said. will: great to see you. >> likewise. will: u-penn's president resign isinging after a shocking comment about anti-semitism the on campus. >> specifically calling for the genocide of jews, does that constitute bullying or harassment? >> it is a context-dependent discussion. rachel: resigned from harvard's

threat for tornado concerns. a tornado watch in effect for another half hour, i would imagine throughout the day we'll see a couple more of those further off towards the east, and this is where we have that tornado threat today. make sure you have a plan in place if that severe weather strikes. worse of it, i think, is across northern parts to of coast sal south carolina -- coastal south carolina and eastern north carolina. big impacts across the eastern seaboard later today, tonight and into tomorrow morning. really warm air to start the day, really cold air come anything behind it. snow across parts of the interior sections but at lot of rain and wind across coastal areas. the i-95 corridor, philadelphia up towards boston, everybody 2-3 inches of rain, but some areas, 5-8 inches across parts of new england, that's going to bring a big threat of flooding. we'll continue to watch closely. pete: u-penn president liz

magill resigning yesterday days after she was grilled over failure to address anti-semitism on campus. the shocking testimony by harvard's president was enough to cause some faculty members like our next guest to leave his post. >> so the answer is, yes, that calling for the genocide of jews violates hard saturday's code of conduct, correct? -- harvard's code e of conduct, correct? >> again, it depends on the context -- >> it does not depend on the context. pete: depends on the context. rabbi david wolf my if stepped town from harvard's anti-semitism the committee following that testimony. he joins us now. rabbi, why did you step down and what's your, what's your -- what would you say to the president of harvard, claudine gay? >> so thank you for the opportunity to -- pete: of course. >> i stepped down basically because it became clear to me that we were going to be the unable to make the changes that needed to be made at least in

the short term. and my -- i suppose my message to president gay would be that this is, you know, a five alarm fire -- [audio difficulty] and the answers were so legalistic and somewhat e wisconsin candidating, equivocating not just to representative stefanik's question, but to many of the questions. and what i was looking for was just a little indignation. had, i mean, forget the answer itself and the content of it, but had one of the presidents said this is unacceptable, this is terrible, the fact that there's anti-semitism on my campus causes me anger and grief and i'm going to do something about it, i would have felt so much better. but instead it was all process

and egyptingness -- gentleness where we needed a little table pounding. pete: yeah. you wanted indignation, and you got smugness. a lot of times it was dismissive and then calling for context. do you think, i mean, okay, so liz magill's gone at u-penn. we'll see what happens with claudine gay. getting rid of these school presidents though doesn't change the context of what's happening in these universities. >> i think that's a really, really important point. and i'm glad that you said it, because i don't want to suggest for a minute that the president is the problem. because that's not true. the problem is the deep-seeded culture that has been growing now for years, and the universities are sort of the paradigm of it. they're the best example. but they are hardly the only example. we see it in the streets of major cities, we see it in some of the high schools, we see it in businesses. there was a coffee shop in new york where when the owner

decided to give some proceeds to the idf, the entire staff quit. the idf if being the israel ree. so this culture is much deeper than the campus, but the campus ought to lead the way. it ought to be able to express what america, as universities traditionally did, this is how educated, thoughtful, morally-serious people respond to this. unfortunately, we're not seeing that. montana president no. these -- pete: no. these universities have lost their mind. they bowed to critical theory and the lens of oppressor and oppressed, and in this particular context, it turns out israel's on the wrong side of that. you can say whatever they want. even though speech used to be violence, it's insane. rabbi wolpe, thank you for your courage and appreciate you speaking out. >> thank you. pete: thank you. all right. still ahead, there's no place like home for christmas. that's why fox nation is bringing the holiday home makeovers to our nays' -- nation's heros in a brand new
