inflaming everybody. it's only there for two weeks during christmas. that's not by mistake. that is by design. >> maybe they should get used to the hot temperature with the candles. i want to move quickly to boston. mayor michelle wu is under fire for her christmas party. her assistant sent out invites to the entire city council which wouldn't have been a problem, but it was supposed to be a secret party of elected people of color. half the city council, the white half, wasn't supposed to be invited. >> and half of them are democrats. they are even upset and believe this is divisive. i guess it's anything but a white christmas. maybe blue christmas can be played at that party. >> all right, raymond. thank you. catch him in cleveland and

>> carley: the house voting for an impeachment inquiry into president biden to obtain more documents to understand how connected the president is to his business. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: good to have you back, partner. i'm todd piro. three presidents have been impeached, all three remained in office after being acquitted by the senate. brooke singman joins us. >> brooke: a formal inquiry is only way to get the white house to comply with their investigation. they are accusing president biden of influence pedalling during his time as vice president. hunter biden is saying instead of doing anything to make american lives better, they are attacking me with lies and

wasting time on this stunt that members of congress admit it was not. hunter was subpoenaed to testify with congress yesterday, but he didn't show up. he did come to capitol hill, but held a press conference instead. watch. >> i'm here to testify at a public hearing today to answer any legitimate questions. republicans do not want an open process where americans can see their tactics, expose their baseless inquiry or hear what i have to say. let me state clearly as i can, my father was not financially involved in my business. >> brooke: the president turning his back on reporters when ask about his son's decision. >> should your son have defied the subpoena?

>> did you watch hunter this morning? >> brooke: republicans say they will take steps to hold hunter in contempt of congress for -- subpoena. >> you had over a dozen members of congress in a committee room waiting for hunter biden to appear because he was lawfully subpoenaed. i think the american people saw that as a public ity stunt. we would have loved to have hunter biden and first question we would ask is who is the big guy, mr. biden? your partner said it is joe biden. >> brooke: given prior contempt like steve bannon and peter navarro. if the house approves a vote to

find hunter in contempt, he could face a fine or jail time. hunter's legal team are fighting nine charges and gun charges in delaware. >> todd: we have more on this throughout the next hour. here is what eric trump had to say about another first son skipping his deposition. >> called five times and testified for something hillary clinton paid for, a total sham. i've been subpoenaed more times and yet never had a speeding ticket, no hookers, i don't leave laptops at repair shops and i'm the most subpoenaed person in this country. it is infuriating. if that was me and i went to

capitol hill i would be in shackles before i left washington, d.c., people see this nonsense for what it is. 91 counts, they want to throw my father in jail and lockup the key. they weaponize the system. >> todd: texas congressman michael cloud will join us later this morning. >> carley: without hunter, the investigation will go on. a prosecutor will be deposed by house judiciary committee, leslie wolf for investigating the president during the probe. irs whistleblower claim she made decisions that deviated from standard procedure, objecting to search of hunter's storage unit before alerting his team about the planned raid and accused of asking agents to remove any

mention of joe biden from the investigation. a lot of tentacles. >> todd: remember that name, leslie wolf, a lot of links and breadcrumbs will lead to her. >> carley: american auto workers paying the price. stelantis. we will talk to a worker directed impacted by the ev push. >> todd: and draymond green is in trouble for this. another big story in the nba, giannis antetokounmpo squaring off with the pacers. why is he running into the locker room? we'll explain all the nba drama coming up.

>> janice: good morning, take a look at the maps. cool across the northern plains and rockies. we will warm up over next couple days. this system across southwest and texas is lingering and bringing mountain snow to colorado, where we winter weather advisories, could see a foot or more in higher elevation and rainfall on this side of the storm in texas and oklahoma. here is broader outlook. unsettled weather return to the northwest. this system will bring energy to

our coastal low that is happening this weekend. busiest travel week of the year, i think thanksgiving, this is second in line. coastal low will cause problems for the east coast sunday and monday. potential for heavy rain along the coast and interior sections could get snow. best guess, texas and florida storms expected to merge late this week. we have a coastal low across florida and that storm across texas, the energy combine to make the coastal low and a messy weekend for the southwest and sunday and monday for the northeast, heavy rain along the coast. there is the energy combining together to make for a yucky mess for the east coast and getting into christmas and people are traveling and it is not good.

foxweather.com, there will be delays and cancellations. be prepared you might have to rearrange some plans. >> todd: tis the season. >> carley: thank you. to this, stelantis could lay off 3600 workers over next two months. the reason, it need to comply with california emission regulation. scott hayes joins me now. cares a lot about this issue. it is great to see you thchl is a strange one. why are people in your state losing their job over what is going on in california? >> well, what we're seeing is failed policy out of sacramento and d.c. are costing real collateral damage here in the midwest. the effort to put you into an electric vehicle before we can do so, before it is attainable,

it is unachievable and costing jobs here. you met people in toledo, carley, they love you. this is a proud people, they have work ethic, willing to work in the elements and crazy shifts. 1225 people got a robo-call they might not have a job to comply with emission regulations that are out of touch with reality. >> carley: these people in toledo and detroit, not that the market is deck dictating this, the companies need to comply with mandates. what are these people going to do? >> good question, try explaining this to people losing their job and talk about 1225, think about

the suppliers, toledo is big supply park to the detroit auto scene. who knows what is going to happen. i can tell you this, for all of the talk about environmental justice, we need to better understand this eccentric definition. it is not good for people on precarious income or for the environment. we're shifting production to countries that don't make it as cleanly as we do in the united states. it is a net loser for the environment and for people on precarious income. >> carley: stellantis is talking to emissions and complying, california has a new law all cars sold in and beyond 2035, should be electric. you have former president trump, he did a town hall with sean

hannity last week and he touched on this issue, listen to what he had to say. day two, get rid of this ridiculous electric car mandate. on diesel fuel truck, big ones, great ones, you go 2000 miles. on an electric truck, you have nothing left, it takes up space, that is a problem, it only goes 300 miles. a child would understand, therefore, you can't do it. talk about a supply chain problem. >> carley: i don't know if you are political, a lot of union guys are democrats. a statement like that from the former president, how do you think that will play? >> it requires a very tough conversation with leadership, labor leadership about the net result to the rank and file. no doubt it takes more energy to pull out minerals to make an

electric vehicle. you are using large vehicles the former president is talking about, to pull it out of the ground. an electric vehicle has to be on the road for four years. electric vehicle mandates within timeline that is unachievable will have real consequences. >> carley: these job losses could be effective as early as february 5, what a way to start the new year. thank you for joining us, great to see you. >> todd: that golf tournament i attend every year, the individuals say this electric vehicle thing is killing them. >> carley: car dealership owners say stop with the mandates, nobody is buying the cars. wizards and capitals are leaving for northern virginia. >> todd: it is not just about

the money, d.c.'s out of control crime a huge problem, as well. lieutenant governor, winsome sears here next. >> states that are led by republican governors are winning and states led by democratic governors are losing and the data is just so clear. my daddy's a cowboy. i'm a cowboy and i'm raising a cowgirl. and discovering that my family come from farmers, for generations. this life is in our blood. and we ain't stopping no time soon. give the gift of family heritage with ancestry.

>> todd: have i ever reported over a battle over a game ball giannis antetokounmpo flipping out because the pacers took the game ball. tried to run into the locker room to get it. unclear if he got it back, we'll update you. the nba striking back against

draymond green, suspended indefinitely after this. what reason does one have to do that? backhanding an opponent in tuesday night's game. the league factoring in green's unsportsmanlike conduct. just last month he was suspended for choking rudy gobert. they are saying he's suspended to get psychological help to deal with what many think is a condition he has to address. >> carley: too aggressive on the court? >> todd: it goes beyond aggressive, you can't do that in sports. >> carley: i did not know about this until i got the alert on my phone. i talked to my husband about it, he said, that checks out. >> todd: if you have a good segment and i took all your

papers, what is equivalent in our business of that? >> carley: i don't know what the equivalent of that is, we'll wait to see. >> todd: you give me a forearm shiver because i take your paper. owners washington capitals and wizards moving his teams out of d.c. to northern virginia. a 70-acre complex will house the two teams and include new music venue, hotels and housing. >> this announcement that we're going to form a public/private partnership like none in america, it will be home to two great teams, washington wizards and washington capitals and will generate jobs. we see in states where republican governors are winning and states run by democratic

governors are losing. >> todd: mixed use nature of this is important. owners want 365 revenue, not just game day. you have to think that d.c. crime played an absolutely huge, huge role in all this. >> carley: without question. and the metropolitan police says robbery increased and violent crime by 40% and vehicle theft by 89%. mayor bowser is responding to this, she is disappointed by this p proposal. >> we have been through very good times and tough times and some of the times are ripples in history we overcome. d.c. fans and residents are

loyal and disappointed today, as am i. our experience with crime is a blip, we will drive it down. >> todd: go to lieutenant governor winsome sears. you just heard that soundbite from the d.c. mayor. a blip? this after an fbi agent is carjacked in her city, joe biden's granddaughter is the victim of an attempted carjacking. more than a blip to me. >> we have solutions in virginia and we know businesses are relocating here and we love it. whenny woo were running for office in 2021, we kept hearing three things from businesses. they were either not coming or not expanded or picking up stakes. it matters we are a law and

order state and passing legislation thats you commit cream, you are going to jail. we don't have anything we call smash and grab and you are able to not be prosecuted and you go out and terrorize communities. >> todd: these owners want mixed use and want revenue, how big a role did d.c. crime play in the decision to move both institutions to your state? >> you have to consider there must be something there, something they see in virginia and when other businesses see other businesses move to virginia, that's a win. we landed boeing, they moved from chicago to virginia, we landed lego, because they trust governor youngkin's leadership that we will be a place they can

live and work and raise a family. you want your employees to be safe. we are bringing two, not one, two major league franchises at one time, that has never been done. this governor deserves credit for it. we are very happy, we are looking at 30,000 jobs, no up-front money from taxpayers of the state. the major component will be from the business owner. we are ecstatic and we hope the new democratic majority will continue the policies of this youngkin administration that has attracted businesses. >> todd: and the commanders could be next. carley. >> carley: to california, take a

look at this, protesters blocking off a major highway in los angeles. 110 southern border grinding to a halt for over an hour. >> todd: it is a horrible road normally, i can't imagine under these circumstances. it got violent, wait until you see how it ended. can disrupt your life for weeks and could make it hard to be there for your loved ones. shingles could also lead to serious complications that can last for years. if you're over 50, the virus that causes shingles is likely already inside you. and as you age, your risk of developing shingles increases. don't wait. ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingles today.

>> todd: jake sullivan heading to israel today. >> carley: israeli officials are

cancelling a trip to qatar to discuss a second hostage release deal. trey yingst has more, good morning, trey. >> trey: good morning. some diplomatic efforts this week have failed as fierce battles rage on in northern and southern gaza. overnight another israeli soldier died bringing the total to 116 soldiers since the ground operation began. israeli official declined to provide details when asked by fox about a timeline. that official did describe what the efforts look like in southern gaza around khan yunis. with the war expected to continue for weeks or month, u.s. officials continue to weigh in on the conflict. >> we all want the war to end as

soon as possible for enduring peace, something the president and entire team continue to -- president has said hamas could release the hostages today. >> trey: developments on the ground in gaza come amid regional threats. yemen launched a drone in the red sea, and it was shot down. the arena in southern and northern gaza remain active. fresh airstrikes following rocket fire from southern lebanon. >> todd: thank you. in a win for jewish college students, house passing a bipartisan resolution to condemn antisemitism on campuses across our country. it comes on heels of last week's

disastrous testimony from presidents of mit, harvard and penn, they said calls for genocide did not -- let claudine gay keep her job and she even attended a menorah ceremony. >> yes or no, calling for genocide of jews -- >> i have not heard genocide of jews. >> i have heard chants when calling for elimination of the jewish people. >> not code of conduct or rules? >> that would be harassment is pervasive and severe.

>> carley: president's failure to control antisemitism on mit's campus distracted mit student from the core mission, we are alarmed mit earning rep tagsz for antisemitism. calling for the president's firing, edward joins me now. >> jewish students and alumni don't feel heard, what is your message this morning? >> it's a pleasure to be here. our message is that we are looking for change and moral clarity at mit. i'm a proud alumnist at mit. we interviewed 700 students from

schools who want to get a shot at mit, like the one i was for fortunate enough to have. we are asking for change and for them to step down or be fired as result of their action and their inaction in curbing antisemitism on campus. >> carley: tell us about yourself and your background and why you and your family came to the united states when you were seven years old. >> i am a proud american, i came from the soviet union as a seven-year-old child. i did not speak english when i came to the united states on valentine's day and i didn't know what that was. i went to public school in new york and fled soviet union, fleeing antisemitism. >> carley: you came to the u.s. and now experiencing antisemitism again.

how does that feel? >> shocking, inexcusable, abhorrent. jews were not allowed to take swim lessons, because there were not enough spots in the pool. >> i am the success story of the american dream, i am proud and to have what is going on at mit, where jews are being discriminated against, it feels like 1988 all over again. >> carley: three college presidents testified before congress and two have been in the news a lot. the president of penn resigned. the president of harvard is hang og to her job. the president of mit has escaped public criticism and the board released a statement supporting her. what is going on behind the

scenes? >> i do not know what is going on at mit. i had a call scheduled, meeting with the chairman of the board, which he cancelled. i hoped to introduce him to students personally affected on campus by genocide and calls for antisemitism. he cancelled the meeting, he is all over financial issues related to his wife's charity, i don't know if he is focused on mit at this time. >> carley: that is a meeting that needs to be had. you have 700 signatures, for this petition you started, that must make you look good. that is a bright light. >> we have multiple petitions. bernie sanders cannot be the change agent to run the sec.

come out against genocide, that is basic. >> carley: should not have been a hard question to answer. it is not a hard question, you cannot lead mit, if you can't answer that. >> carley: todd, over to you. >> todd: mayor doubling down hosting a no whites holiday party and invite only electeds of color. here is how they are celebrating at the white house. ♪ ♪ >> todd: because nothing says merry christmas like whatever the bleep that is. chcheryl casone here next.

- don't be scared. - let's go. - that's a good job. - can i see him? - this is our home - and this is our room. when people come, they say they've tried lots of diets, nothing's worked or they've lost the same 10, 20, 50 pounds over and over again. they need a real solution. i've always fought with 5-10 pounds all the time. eating all these different things and nothing's ever working. i've done the diets, all the diets. before golo, i was barely eating but the weight wasn't going anywhere. the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is managing insulin and glucose. golo takes a systematic approach to eating that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom. when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult

to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you.

any confusion this may have caused. hashtag, you are still not invited. when asked by reporters about the party, one said we have stopped getting to know each other and started attacking each other. >> carley: wow, everybody was invited initially and she sent another message and the white people were not invited. sticking with the christmas theme, over to the white house, what is going on there? >> >> cheryl: jill biden releasing an odd video celebrating christmas at the white house. ♪ ♪ >> cheryl: no words, just tap

left out of a playoff shock. it reeks of partiality. any rationale person said, something is up here and playoff selection committee, it is bound to anti-trust laws. florida anti-trust laws. we asked questions in a pre-suit investigation and sent a civil investigative demand. give us any communications and income going to committee members, any conflicts of interest. clearly something is not right here and we need answers as to whether or not as the conferences are garnering more power and reducing in number, we need to look at how this is affecting competitive practice. we expect an expedited response and we'll go from there and do

what is warranted. >> todd: this will not change who plays on january 1, you are going forward to see what happens going forward and make sure you can set a record if this ever happens again. life-long florida gator, we'll be monitoring. ashley moody, thank you. send it over to steve doocy to see what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> steve: todd, carley, football fans, on this thursday, is he a theater party threat? joe manchin, west virginia, vowed not to spoil the 2024 race, but said joe biden is polling way to the left. what will come out of it with joe? we don't know. plus, off the rails, shocking video shows thousands of migrants waiting to catch trains three hours south of the southern border heading for

this administration has been holding us up saying there is not a formal impeachment inquiry. we are not going to give you paperwork. we are not going to let people come and testify and those sort of things. that excuse is going to be gone as we pursue what is going to be happening here. the thing about yesterday that was so interesting. if it would it have been a meeting with russian oligarchs. a meeting with maybe ukrainian energy company or, perhaps, aa board meeting with some chinese equity firm. no doubt hunter biden would have been there. but he did not show up. instead he came to the capitol and a publicity stunt. it's unfortunate to see that. >> todd: when alerted to the fact that he was under impeachment inquiry. joe biden said republicans should be more focused on border security than impeaching him. can you even begin to comprehend the uberous in that statement. >> wow as somebody from south texas that's just unnerving. we over the weekend had a

16-year-old young lady in our district cold at the hands of illegal immigrant in her own house. so, each week, you know, i'm talking to sheriffs in my district and our communities are intimately affected by what is going on at the border. and, you know, we have another tranche of 10,000 people coming across the border right now. and, you know, the biden administration has done everything they can to skirt the law, to take any funds we send them for border security and use it for human trafficking. they are aiding and abetting cartels. it's unconscionable and to think that somehow the house republicans are holding this up, we passed her 2 two months ago and they have done nothing with it now james comer says is he going to initiate contempt of

congress proceedings voted by the full house and sent over to the doj. how will that play out? this is serious stuff. peter navarro was looking at two years in jail for being held in contempt of congress. what is going to happen to hunter biden? what does his future look like? >> i wish i could assure you he will get the equal treatment under the law that everywhere else has gotten that has been in contempt. we haven't seen that instead we have seen this doj and this administration do everything they can to protect the biden family. so you would like to think that the same crime would produce the same results, but, you know, that's one of the things we are working to fix in this government right now. >> i certainly think -- i would support that vote with -- in holding him in contempt. you know, he could have had a press conference where he was. but to fly over here to stand on just on the senate side and make sure he doesn't come over to the house side, you know, that is -- it's flaunting in front of congress. it's not just holding himself in contempt. he is trying to show that he is

untouchable, i guess. >> todd: at that press conference he said it is not fair. he also said his dad was not, quote: financially involved in his own business dealings. that leaves open a whole lot of other ways that joe biden could have been involved. did that hunter spectacle outside of congress just impeach joe biden? 20 seconds to you, congressman? >> well, you know, we have seen that story move from the very beginning where biden said "i've never talked to my son about it" oh well maybe did he and now it's well he wasn't a business part nerpted and now he wasn't financially involved. i expect to see that story move as we continue to uncover evidence. >> carley: he did say that hunter was not financially involved -- or hunter said his dad was not financially involved in any of his businesses. not as a practicing lawyer, a board member of burisma and certainly not as an artist. so there is that as well. paint brushes are free of corruption. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> todd: "fox & friends" right now. ♪
