>> ainsley: lawrence, when you watch, we have a new addition, with you on the curvy couch with us. uh-oh. >> lawrence: great honor and learning from you, as well. >> brian: you're learning from me? >> lawrence: i do. >> brian: you're generalizing. >> lawrence: you always think i'm joking, you are truly the face of the show. >> brian: glad you are here. >> ainsley: ainsley is america's sweetheart. and steve is the dad of the show. >> steve: the grandpaafter that. >> brian: within five seconds, what do you need to say? >> lawrence: we should say, the third hour of "fox and friends" starts right now. >> ainsley: good job. >> brian: perfect.

♪ ♪ >> brian: that like -- [cheering] ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ this is living american country love song >> lawrence: that's you. what's up, florida? [cheering] >> lawrence: maybe. it is a big show here in -- [laughter] -- bag show here in florida. great folks here. love the country, so proud what is happening in the country. guys, bring you on in. >> steve: that is right. i saw you serving a bloody mary. i did a couple diners at harry 52. there were people drinking there

and it is florida and it is friday. >> lawrence: that is right, if you're in the area come to sunflower cafe, great people here, great food. when i finish, i'm going to have me a bloody mary. >> ainsley: why not, your job will be done. >> steve: it's 8:00 a.m. somewhere. >> brian: you can always get a virgin. >> ainsley: bloody mary. >> steve: folks at sunflower restaurant in a little while. let's move on before we get in trouble. a fox news alert, intense fighting in israeli as defense forces pummel hamas stronghold. >> ainsley: national security adv advisor jake sullivan meets with top officials. >> brian: and a rift on

palestinian casualties. jacqui heinrich is at the white house with this. >> royaled the white house and national advisecurity advisor je sullivan told prime minister netanyahu they need to transition to lower intensity phase. jake sullivan says that is not true and more broadly the u.s. is not giving direction, but asking questions and offering advice. but sullivan today says the u.s. role is greater than that. >> we had a very constructive conversation yesterday about the intention from the high intensity phase forward. when that happens and under what conditions will continue

intensive discussion between the united states and israel. >> yesterday sullivan met with officials and today will meet with the palestinian authority. part is getting a pause back in place so more hostages can be released. there is a push from kamala harris for biden and white house to display more public concern for palestinians. officials deny there is daylight between harris and biden. but the report raise concern for republicans saying the messaging undermines this. blinken had a post that was deleted. senator ted cruz told fox since day one biden officials have been obsessed with undermining israel and that obsession

continues evera the atrocities on october 7. cost of american security is catastrophic. congress is in recess after failing to reach an agreement on the border that would find israel and ukraine. chuck schumer says they will call the senate back in on monday to try to continue to reach a deal on this. >> brian: to me, main point of friction, when you going to stop the war and not, is two-state solution. jake sullivan and companies work toward a two-state solution. nobody thinks that will work, they will have to address this. >> yeah, and the president's comments on this, especially campaign fundraiser earlier this week, looked at with scrutiny. he mentioned israel's government has to embrace a change in approach. we have not heard a lot from the

israeli side of things echoing the administration urging in that direction. they said they will continue until the job is done. we really have not been able to get clarity on where exactly the disagreement is between the u.s. and israel and how strong it is because they are trying to maintain that they are aligned here. >> steve: okay. thank you for the live report from 1600 pennsylvania. now to the other end of pennsylvania. >> ainsley: to the crisis at southern border. cbp agent told to be on the look out for explosive devices near the u.s. and meteorologist border. >> steve: that warning after cbp foundie d's after a cartel gun fight and that is not good. >> brian: hillary vaughn is live at the white house. >> the mexican military found 10

improvised devices on the meteorologist side of the u.s.-meteorologist border. because of that, u.s. border patrol is warning agents to be on the lookout for devices. federal law enforcement source shared officer safety alert that went out to cbp agents warning them to be alert. agents should exercise extreme kaugsz and report any possible armed subjects approaching the border with possible explosive devices. this incident happened on wednesday, a gun fight east of the port of entry in pima county, arizona. a person was loaded with a ak rifle, loose rounds and a handgun. he said there were 11 armed

agents nearby. the mexican military responded and found 10 explosive devices filled with black powder and shrapnel. law enforcement says this ramp has a gap in the border fence used to funnel drugs through, now a magnet to push people through. this gun fight was a gang war fighting for control over this gap in the fence. the gap is a spot in the border wall never completed. it is dangerous for law enforcement officers and agents on the border and how lucrative the business is for the cartel, how far they are willing to go to fight for control over small gaps in the fence they can push paying customers through. back to you. >> steve: this is a big story.

hilary, for years we've been talking about people on the terror watch list who are apprehended at the southern border. on the southern side of the southern border, you have bombs essentially. your sources and fox's sources are saying it is more cartels killing each other than sneaking into the united states, right? >> right, this was not a migrant carrying an ied across the border, this was a turf war amongst their own people and the mexican military obtained the ieds. it is a concern but not a situation where it was coming across the border and the person the border patrol apprehended surrendered to border patrol because they didn't want to deal with anything on the other side

coming here into the u.s. >> steve: we've had about gun fights and them throwing bombs at each other. >> as far as we know, the ieds were not used in this, they were this tact when the mexican military obtained them, of course that was on the mexican side. the environment is growing increasingly dangerous for border patrol working along the border there. >> ainsley: you think ieds, you think middle east and you don't think on our border. you think the cartel is dangerous, but not that they would have devices. pretty scary. >> todd: thanks, appreciate it. lawrence, think how the narrative has changed. donald trump, build a wall. walls don't work. sanctuary city, how dare you, where is your heart? now major cities want to revisit

sanctuary cities and people are saying follow the gaps in the wall. it stopped when the president stopped. tell me who doesn't want to fill in the gaps right now? >> lawrence: it doesn't make any sense, remember the cartel will do anything to protect their enterprise and they have three sources, human trafficking, they have drugs and they have the people that they escort across the border, that is their enterprise. how do the american people think about it? i'll ask my friends in florida. talking border, what do you think is happening at the southern border and how is it impacting our country? >> it is very scary, we don't know who is coming, we don't know their agenda. it is not sustainable. there is a right way to come to our country and we've taken our eye off other issues, like our

veteranses, our homeless, our elderly, our children and it is scary. we need to get our priorities right and take care of our people and take care of people who fought for our safety. >> lawrence: sanctuary cities, now they don't want to be sanctuary city and texas is sending migrants to their town. >> funny how that works and we're worried about our pronouns. well, i think there are more important thing to worry about than what pronoun we use for everybody and sanctuary city. >> lawrence: i see you nodding your head entire time. who is the best candidate to address the border? >> trump no doubts, we are from

massachusetts. i may not like his tweets, he was fantastic for this country. he would secure the border day one. >> lawrence: one of my other friends, real quickly. you got here at 4:15 this morning? for the "fox and friends" family. what is happening at the southern border right now? >> i think it is a disgrace. it is putting all americans in jeopardy and it is costing us a lot of money. we go to stores locally and people don't even speak english. we recently went to the store and i asked for help with something and i had to type it in on the associate's phone so she could tell me where to look for it. i don't like it. >> lawrence: you don't like it. it is valid concern, guys, i send it back to new york. when you don't do it the legal way, no assimilation, not

getting to learn the language or culture and i don't think you get to isolate people for bringing up that concern. >> brian: let's fix this thing, sooner or later we're going to have to. quick look at headlines. fox news alert, following this story, german and dutch police captured four hamas members plotting on jewish institutions through europe. three arrested in berlin, fourth in the netherlands. the group of suspects are long-standing members of hamas closely linked to military leadership. they will appear in court this morning. less than two hours, former first lady melania will speak at naturalization ceremony in washington. fox news digital getting a look at her prepared remarks about what being an american citizen means to her.

it means participating in democratic procedure and contributing to our society. and this, former congressman george santos ousted, turning to phillips, the former idf member, from great neck long island joined us to discuss why she's going to win this race. >> george santos is a disgrace, did wrong things and he's out now, he is the past. i'm the future, it is not about republican or democrat, be a good voice for american people. >> brian: she is last name pilla, running against tom suozzi. election will be february 13th right by my house and gavin wants me to do a diner that day.

>> steve: newsom? >> brian: yes, he is calling the shots, i'll get to the bottom of that. raiders pummel the chargers en route to a major win, raiders defense getting in on the fun. watch. >> oh, baby, unbelievable. jack jones. they do it again. >> brian: that is incredible, raiders scoring record 63 points over the chargers. a lot of football this weekend. fox has full slate of games lined up for you. look at that coverage, chiefs and raiders, giants and saints, bears and browns and falcons and panthers. wait, there is more. >> steve: you have the fox news snow globe and some merch

unveil, this stuff is available, get it by christmas and spend $50 and receive $10 off coupon to use on the next order. how great is that. >> brian: if you want to get this, you have to order it, for us, we don't get a discount. >> ainsley: the sherpa blanket, i will do the show under this blanket. on this side fuzzy. >> brian: like something the wisemen would wear. >> ainsley: the wisemen? with fox news on it? >> brian: exactly, there was no cable. >> steve: in our bethlehem bureau. >> brian: right. >> ainsley: brian always says it is too hot if i have a space heater, i can get rid of the heater and wear this. >> brian: if you don't mind wearing a blanket. >> ainsley: so cozy. >> brian: if we had a bureau in

bethlehem, would we have let jesusin, and not left him in the manger? >> steve: we would love to have you, go to shop.foxnews.com. take a look, cups, hats, pretty much everything you see on the table and so much more. >> brian: what would be great, if you got foxed up for christmas, take a picture and send in and we'll put on the show. >> ainsley: i'll bet the merchandise will arrive before christmas, you can give as gifts. >> brian: i think it will arrive. >> steve: deck the halls with fox stuff. lawmakers under wire to make a deal on ukraine and the border as the house gavels out for the holiday, they have gone home. >> ainsley: senator mark wayne mullin gives us the update next.

>> brian: there's the animation. rsv is out there. for those 60 years and older protect against rsv with arexvy. arexvy is a vaccine used to prevent lower respiratory disease from rsv in people 60 years and older. arexvy does not protect everyone and is not for those with severe allergic reactions to its ingredients. those with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects are injection site pain, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, and joint pain. i chose arexvy. rsv? make it arexvy. some of the best traditions start under a tree.

it's where we gather as a family. it's where we experience the excitement of opening day. it's where we caught our personal best. and this tree is where it all began. this christmas start traditions under your tree... share the tradition of visiting santa's wonderland at bass pro shops and cabela's. and get your free photo with santa. bass pro shops and cabela's. generalized myasthenia gravis made my life a lot harder. but the picture started changing when i started on vyvgart. vyvgart is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are anti-achr antibody positive . in a clinical trial, vyvgart significantly improved most participants' ability to do daily activities when added to their current gmg treatment. most participants taking vyvgart also had less muscle weakness. and your vyvgart treatment schedule is designed just for you.

in a clinical study, the most common side effects included urinary and respiratory tract infections, and headache. vyvgart may increase the risk of infection. tell your doctor if you have a history of infections or symptoms of an infection. vyvgart can cause allergic reactions. available as vyvgart for iv infusion and now as vyvgart hytrulo for subcutaneous injection. additional side effects for vyvgart hytrulo may include injection site reactions. talk to your neurologist about vyvgart. joanna gaines: discoveries at saint jude helped this kid beat cancer at age two. marget: and now this kid has three kids. chip gaines: and that's what we do at saint jude. subject: give thanks for the healthy kids in your life and give a gift that could last a lifetime.

>> brian: do you believe congress should be going home? >> no. you should get the appropriations bills done. we've got work to do. energy independence so next year price of gas is lower, do the

border so you are safe, do parents bill of rights, so you have a say in education. kids are being left behind because of covid, we told them to stay home, never makeup for them. >> brian: kevin mccarthy, final interview, you can see that interview tomorrow night at 9:00. he says congress needs to stay at work before holiday recess. senator markwayne mullin is doing work. senator, where are you with negotiations and you are staying, but the house is going, are you okay with that? >> there is not a lot the house can get done until the senate finishes, i get why they are going. it is frustrating the white

house waited this long to negotiate. we messed up, we thought we could negotiate with schumer, but he's a puppet for biden and white house just engaged in the last week. it is impossible to get border security and reform done. they have not done any immigration reform since 1995, mcconnell's first year in office and reagan was still president. to do it in a week, we can't get it wrong, have to do it right and that will take time. >> brian: if you fix the border, country wants the border fixed. give us three things to look for to see if this is legislation we feel good about that you guys want? >> we have to do something about

asylum, asylum process need to change, we have a pact with canada and mexico, united states is only one that doesn't enforce that. you have to claim asylum, stem the flow by 70%. individuals are from other countries other than mexico. have true enforcement. if we apprehend someone, send them back and process them right now. >> brian: send them back? >> yes. >> brian: fly them back. >> yes. they get a piece of paper and they're in the united states four to eight years while awaiting court case. we have to have border personnel, right now within an hour, they go on shift, they are out of service because they apprehend so many, we don't have enough people on the border to secure it. >> brian: that is what you want,

i think most people agree with you. what do you think you will get? when murphy looks across the table, does the democratic senator agree with you? does the white house looks like they will sign off on that? >> they are going back and forth playing shell games. they are trying to come back and say stem the flow by set number of 100 people or 200 people. that is a drop in the bucket. having 10,000 individuals per day claim asylum. they considered it a national crisis and had 21000 a year. one or two hundred doesn't count. talking about personnel, they want to have more people to process individuals to get them out of holding center and into the united states. that is absolutely ridiculous. we are not really so far apart on what we want, we are so far

apart on what actions will be, end of the day, you have success here. >> brian: you have leverage, trying to do the fair thing. it is for the country and i think most people understand that. thanks for what you do. next, folds of honor has a major mile stone, help children of fallen heroes receive scholarships. next. start your day with nature made. the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand. i look back with great satisfaction on my 32 years in active duty. i understand the veteran mentality. these are people who have served. they've been in leadership positions. they're willing to put their life on the line if necessary. and they come to us and they say, i need some financial help at this point in time. they're not looking for a handout. they're looking for

a little hand up. my team at newday usa is going to do everything we possibly can to make sure that veteran gets that loan. she found it. the feeling of finding the psoriasis treatment she's been looking for. sotyktu is the first-of-its-kind, once-daily pill for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for the chance at clear or almost clear skin. it's like the feeling of finding your back... is back. or finding psoriasis can't deny the splendor of these thighs.

they can feed themselves for a lifetime. so blessed to deliver over 1000 scholarships to military spouses and children who had someone killed or disabled. christmas surprises. we have dr. stephen on to hear us. >> steve: he is nodding yes indeed, congratulations on receiving the folds of honor scholarship. you had a dear friend who passed away because of a brain tumor, you have devoted your life's work to medical research. tell us about what you do and how impactful and helpful the money from dan's folds of honors helped you pursue this dream. >> good morning and thank you for having me on, it is an honor to be with you all. like many families, my family

couldn't afford to send me to college. the cost of education is so unattainable for so many. i knew i wanted to become a neurosurgeon and scientist. i knew going to college was important piece of that. i decided i would work four jobs to pursue this dream while going to college. i was working as a bar back and working couple different jobs at the hospital, i had a passion for brain tumor research and wanting to help people. when folds of honor came into the picture, it changed my life, they gave me finances i needed to pursue my dreams, that being brain tumor research. instead of focusing on working odd jobs to support my education. because of that, i was able to

make advances in the lab and one opportunity led to the next and i'm a medical student at university of pittsburgh. it wouldn't have been possible without folds of honor. >> steve: what a story. >> ainsley: impressive and i love the charleston connection, you did research and helped with muse. because, dan, you are giving him that money, he is trying to find research -- >> steve: to save lives. >> ainsley: exactly and tools to cure cancer. incredible. you at home can help, you can donate to foldsofhonor.org. thanks. >> merry christmas, god bless. we have 2000 unfunded scholarships, qualified families, please visit

table. let's talk with more folks. what do you think is most pressing issue facing the country? >> the country will go bankrupt with all the spending. >> lawrence: what candidate will solve that? >> trump will solve it, he will run the country like a business. >> you dropped out at 15, worked your whole life, what needs to happen in this country right now? >> put all the young people back to work, they need moral. i quit school at 15 and worked my whole life ever since. we need to go into college and get rid of all the professors and change it and start teaching kids work values, american values, love america, don't hate america and love your neighbor and friends. >> lawrence: a lot of people agree. >> one more thing, all american people, i don't care independent, democrat,

republican, white, black, it doesn't matter, it is about our border, economy, getting rid of china. >> lawrence: that's what i'm talking about. who is the candidate you will support in the next election? >> trump again. >> lawrence: it's been a pleasure to be here, great people here, the sunrise at the sunflower cafe. back to you guys in new york. great job, florida. >> steve: lawrence, now you can have a bloody mary. >> ainsley: he will not join us anymore today? >> steve: that's it. we have a musical performance coming up. >> ainsley: california governor gavin newsom defending the crime problem plaguing his state. >> you own the issues and address the issues, they have been on a doom loop since nancy

pelosi. 27% of all american jobs came from the state last month, fifth largest economy in the world and values are stark contrast, daylight and darkness in the republican party. >> steve: he is blaming republicans. next guest is joking san francisco has huge homeless problem or giant camping success story. >> brian: rob snyder is here. nothing wrong with san francisco, it is us with doom. >> california has good ideas, slave reparations, they want to pay people who were never slaves to be paid for by people who never owned slaves in a state that never had slaves. that is like paying child support for a child you never had to a woman you never had sex with. >> brian: very good. that would be your campaign. >> ainsley: as an actor and

comedian, what does california look like? is the video accurate? >> there are places where it is horrible and places there is not. there is too much and it is spreading. the problem, they can clean it up when they have somebody they admire like a dictator from china, they can clean it up in 24 hours, but for people that have businesses there, they don't care. >> brian: what are you holding in your left hand? >> i don't care, my new movie "daddy daughter trip" available at walmart. they still make dvd's. >> steve: i can play them on my computer. who is that little girl and tell us the story. >> miranda, scarlet schneider, she is my daughter, it is cheaper to work with them, she
