banner yet wave -- ♪ work'er the land -- o ear the land of the free and the home of the brave ♪ ♪ will: you did it. you sent in pictures with your fireplace in the background -- pete: nailed it. will: -- watching "fox & friends." i didn't pay attention, was there a lot of robes? pete: i think i saw maybe one robe. rachel: my twitter was filled with people sending pictures of their fireplaces and us up on the screen. so. people are cozying up, you know, hunkering down in the winter, in the christmas spirit and watching "fox & friends." pete: you did it. and lee greenwood singing the national anthem. will by the way with, that was all based off a conversation we

had yesterday. rachel: why don't you fill them in? will: i can't remember very well. [laughter] rachel: there was fire and robes, hugh hefner -- pete: yeah, it came up, but this is the opposite of the weekday show which says get dressed, and our view is don't get dressed. it's the weekend, stay in your robe -- will: why were we we talking about fires? if. rachel: how coaz i city it is. pete: and i said i never do it in the morning, does anybody do it in the morning. will: fire? oh, yeah, fires are are the morning -- in the morning are great. pete: if you can flip the switch, but making a wood fire -- will: a little bit of work with. pete: love your pictures. rachel: mean while, minute else is loving donald trump, and that would be colby covington, a ufc fighter who, sadly, lost last night but, boy, he was on fire for donald trump who made a rock star entrance along with kid

rock and dana white. look at that crowd. [cheers and applause] >> -- of these united states of america. donald trump is a massive ufc fan. he's watching our fight nights -- will: yeah, quite a crowd. he's gone to, what is it, maybe, is it half a dozen or more -- pete: i was going to say at this point it feels like donald trump's campaign strategy is courtrooms, swing states, ufc fights. [laughter] rachel: a little bit of golf course. pete: a little bit of golf course. kid rock's there. rock star status. crowd loves him and fighters love him, to or your point, rachel. here's colby covington talking about trump. >> he's going to make america great again. we need these borders secure, we need inflation down, and we need america first again. donald trump's the only one when's going to do that again. trump 2024!

will: that was after the loss, as rachel mentioned, colby covington last night at ufc. right before the fight, donald trump was in new hampshire -- pete: swing state. will: made a cross-country flight. it was in nevada. rachel: can i mention, when he came out, his suit had donald trump -- maybe it was his robe -- pete: you wear a robe when you come out to fight. another use of the robe that we kind of missed yesterday. finish. will: this is what donald trump had to say, again, before the fight in new hampshire about the american dream. >> as long as joe biden is in the white house, the american dream is dead. but all of that will change the minute the polls close on election night, 2024. [cheers and applause] it's going to end. [cheers and applause] the next economic boom will begin the instant the world knows that crooked joe biden is gone and donald j. trump is has

won four more years as president of the united states. this will be a historic victory by christmas of next year, the economy will be roaring back, energy prices will be plummeting. the hordes of people charging across our border will have ended the invasion of our country. it will have stopped. rachel: you know, he's talking a lot about the american dream which a lot of people feel is slipping away. we talked about how people can't buy homes, we talked about young people just feeling like they can't get a start in life moving back into their basement. i saw an article the other day about you've heard of quiet quitting from some of the millennials and z generation, now there's seniors are quiet returning, having to go back to work to make ends meet because so many of them were on fixed incomes. of and they have to go to back to work. pete: yeah. we talk so much about the cultural stuff on this show and rightfully so, but the economic

brass tacks borders, inflation, energy, that impacts a ton of people every single day on fixed incomes or limited incomes who just can't live the way they did three years ago. rachel: absolutely. pete: and he can change that. will: now to a story that is grotesque but no less newsworthy. we alluded to it yesterday, and pete explained it in some detail in one of our hours. pete: too much. will: i do believe this is a story that are -- that will rightfully crass your radar, and that is that the daily caller, to their credit, reported on friday of a senate aide allegedly working for senator ben cardin who filmed himself having sex in a senate around hearing room with another man. there is graphic photos -- rachel: and video. will: there is graphic video out there. pete: which we are not going to play. will of this taking place on the

dais -- pete: yeah, on the big wooden desk out there -- will: of all the words i didn't get right, i'm glad it was dais -- [laughter] and it's something else. this is the administration, this is the four years of reportedly returning to norms. this is about -- excuse me -- pete: you almost got it. rachel: go ahead. will: not doing so good. this is when we were supposed to return to norms, talk about the sanctity of the capitol, so many things, and now -- pete: now we're where we are. rachel: you know,ing it's terrible. but we had a taste of this back in the summer when -- [laughter] pete: strong words. rachel: i men that in the summer if -- i meant that they had an lgbtq festival or party at the white house --

will: yes. rachel: remember, there was a tiktok person that took off the shirt, it was a man with fake breasts. so we are seeing this slow degradation. what i think is interesting is, one, there are c tv cameras. is anyone monitoring them in the ap toll? will: i thought about that too. rachel: there's rumors that the other gentleman, not the staffer, is a foreigner from germany. that has not been confirmed, but if that is, that's another issue. like, why do we have foreigners -- i mean, i can't get in as a spouse, when i was a pows, i could not -- can spouse, i could not get in there without my husband or somebody official bringing me many there in there. senator carden took to the senate floor after january 6th to give a speech about the sanctity of the capitol. and when asked about -- he did fire this staffer, but when asked about this, he just said no comment. pete: said i'm not going to say

any more about it. rachel: so lots of words and speeches about january 6th and how that degraded the capitol. i would say this in a much more graphic way. pete: they don't want to talk about this. jonathan turley in addition if said to all the implications, this staffer could face legal chargings as a well. staff theres have access into such room, but the question whether this unofficial -- yeah, i would say unofficial use -- [laughter] would constitute dress pass. it also uses an official area for personal purposes though it is it is not clear whether there were any commercial benefits garnered from the video founden various sites. using thend congressional space for commercial purposes can factor into possible charges. the resignation will not necessarily end any capitol police investigation. rachel: so it ended up on a site of like-minded staffers, and then the question i think turley's asking, is it going to end up on some other site for

pay or whatever. that's not been confirmed. will: the guy who is alleged to be the person in the video, again, the a self-taken video, right? to your point, it wasn't cc-tv, has already posted on social media attempted to say he's being persecuted -- pete: he's the victim. rachel: for who he loves. [laughter] and he said he's looking into legal, you know, if he can get, you know, get a lawyer. he may have some -- he thinks he may have -- will: honestly, this is gross and this is, like, you know, and and you're going to probably talk about it, can you believe? if this is not a maul thing. pete: well, it's also the sense that, okay, i'm going to share this with my fellow staffers, this is okay. and then when it comes out, i'm the victim. will: check out what i did. yeah. all right, now we move to this, a confederate memorial is being removed from arlington national cemetery on december 22nd, despite the fact there's been opposition from the republican party. and, by the way, governor glenn

youngkin of virginia says he'll move it to the shenandoah valley. this is a, this is from republican congressman andrew clyde who wrote this to secretary of defense lloyd austin, despite bipartisan support for the monument, the naming commission established by the 2021 national defense authorization act, clearly overstepped its legislative authority when it recommended the department of army remove the reconciliation monument from article aington national cemetery. the reconciliation monument does not honor or commemorate the confederacy. the memorial commemorates reconciliation and national unity. i mean, this is not only like, oh, man, they're erasing history or what. no. this is erasing reconciliation after a civil war. i don't understand the moral high ground of, oh, we should all come together after the civil war and heal this nation.

rachel: because if you a marxist, reconciliation and unity is the exact opposite of what you want. you want to divide everybody by class, by race. and by the way, a lot of this is ignorance. we saw a lot of this ignorance from the left on display during much of these protests where, you know, you had people defending hamas, defending, you know, one side of that israeli-palestinian conflict. people probably couldn't find on a map. and in this case, there's a history behind this statue that i'm certain these people don't even know. will: there's a lot of ignorance. pete: there is a lot of ignorance, but there's also a lot of intentional self-flagellation. i mean, it's this idea that we have to erase everything, rewrite everything. rachel: isn't that the communist way? pete: absolutely, it is. rachel: totally communist. pete: it's the orwell yarntion communist, left-wing way of we will erase it and then rewrite it to fit our narrative, good guys, bad guys, very neat and

tidy in history when we all know history's very complicated with complicated figures. and there are some things that are purely good and purelyville, and we know that, but the civil war our country went through, as horrible as it was, is something we've had to reconcile with. and part of that reconciliation, as you properly emphasized it, will, is memorializing what happened. and then putting it inside if our nation's most significant military cemetery so that other generations can realize, you know what? you can fight a civil war against your own people over some really nasty topics, and then you can forgive, and you can move on and you can heal. but those are not the values that are valued right now. will: not the goals. rachel: no, it's not the goals. will: -- marxism, but this is, this is actually revealing of the purpose of the hole indiana-racist movement. -- whole anti-racist movement. it says it on its face, right? d can ei, it's not about

equality. it's not about arriving at a place where we're all treated the same. it's not about getting rid of discrimination -- pete: otherwise they would use equal. will: that's right. it's like the boston mayor, we did it yesterday, talk talked about the party in boston, it's a person of color holiday party. that that point isn't to arrive at a place of unity and equality, the point is to arrive at a place of revenge and reverse discrimination. and it says that. that's what equity is. not equality. and so the point is unity and reconciliation, no, that's not what this is about. this is about retribution. pete: if you're right. rachel: and this is about pick at a scab and, frankly, many people would tell you with, historians who study this, the south put their guns down. there was a, an attempt to unify the country, and in some ways we should be proud of how we've moved on from that. that is not how they want to do it. they want to create write history, they want to take down these statues to reconciliation,

and delay -- they claim they're building back better. but when you get racist christmas parties, i'm not sure that's the result. pete: moving it to shenandoah valley, that's a cave. rachel: i have no idea where that's at. pete: it's like moving everything to a museum. will: just seems like -- pete: it's a lloyd austin thing. this defense department full of dei crap top to bottom and, of course, they're -- you know, we're running out of ammunition, we can't meet our recruiting goals -- rachel: and soldiers. pete: yet we're removing reconciliation monuments? okay. will: the uss carney shooting down 15 houthi rebel drones fired from yemen yesterday with. the british hms diamond destroying a drone targeting commercial ships. by the way, where are the houthis getting drones? pete: iran. will: exactly. the american destroyer took down

14 unmanned drones in the red sea. neither ship suffered any damages x no injuries were reported. now to a fox weather alert, participants of florida getting bombarded with heavy rain and harsh winds this morning, the weather causing universal orlando's volcano bay water park and walt disney world's christmas event to close for the day. the severe storm is expected to head up to the east coast as busy holiday travel begins to ramp up. for more, download the fox weather app or stream fox weather on any connected device. what? pete: go ahead, breathe it. will: and to football, cincinnati trading touchdowns with pete's vikings in the last few minutes to send the game into overtime, setting up a crucial fourth down for minnesota. >> fourth and inches. oh. pete: come on. just do what you're gone --

gonna do! he didn't do it! what was that? will: what'd you say, is it over? [laughter] no, rachel, the game wasn't over, because then this long pass setting up a chance for cincinnati's kicker to win the game and send pete home disappointed. >> the snap's good, the hold is good and the bengals have come back to beat the vikings inover time -- in overtime. [laughter] will: the bengals beat the bikings in overtime, 27-24. today you can check out what a real contender looks like -- pete: somebody wrote that? will: they did. that's not me, but i happily realize that. the dallas cowboys take on the buffalo bills in america's game of the week, 4 p.m. eastern time on fox. those are your with headlines. rachel: you guys know i don't like sports, but i joined you guys at the sports bar last night. pete: yep. rachel: he is loud. he starts screaming, and it's new york city, so there's not a

lot of vikings fans, you know? and you're kind of by yourself there -- pete: it's what i do at my house too. [laughter] will: he's so specific in his requests. do what you're gonna do! pete: i didn't know you were filming. all you had to do, it was a 1-yard sneak, and he caved to the ground -- will: less. yeah. pete: it was horrible. rachel: and then will -- at a first it seemed like he was supporting the vikings -- will: well, for him. rachel: then he decided he had some bet he had going on, and he changed sides -- pete: fantasy football, and he's coming after me -- rachel: pete felt really let down. will: like i changed the mojo of the whole thing. pete: you did. because we were up by two touchdowns. no time left. rachel: he blamed will for the loss. wes. will: it was a good time. new details about a matthew perry's final days. the strange behavior he was showing just before his death. rachel: plus, a recent poll is

they're paying $1890. two years ago the gas prices were $1.80, now they're up to $4.50. so that has a real big impact, and they're kind of rethinking their choices. rachel: you said to our producers that you know farmers in your district who have legal workers, mexican workers, who live in mexico, and now they can't get those workers to work. what's going on? >> right now because of the border and the biden policies, there's -- it's so saturated with the illegal crossers or they're at the port of entry that it's slowing the line of the process. if it was one hour, it's going to two hours. they're diverting some of our, here in yuma, actually, that port of entry they're taking some of the resources, some of or our agents, they're moving them to other places so they can process.

rachel: right. >> and that's our borders and warning, they cross at four or five in the morning to come to work. rachel: yeah. they say the system's broken. well, it's broken when you just have everyone coming over the border. those who actually go through a process and get a green card to work can't even get so because it's just so, as you said, saturated. hispanic,s as you know, are the largest minority demographic in america. how do you expect that they will impact this coming election? do you think that they're connecting the dots? that they can remember back, hey, times were better under trump, do you think that trump will benefit from the disapproval of the biden performance? >> i think as long as they're communicating, they see how it's affecting them. we talk to each other. i think that is going to affect them. we know we were living better. families are hurting. you know, or they're moving out of their homes, moving in with other family members. rachel: yeah. >> and, yes, i think he does

in his platoon, it was hard for their families as well. so when they all got deployed, we started shipping the care packages, but it was only a couple hundred, maybe a couple thousand. we definitely didn't expect it to grow to this size. pete: so they started getting them, they loved them, and then you got more requests, i would imagine. >> well, it kind of spread by when his friends in his platoon, you know, when they went off to different bases, then we got more and more connections, and it just kind e of grew over time. pete: and how many stocks have you sent since -- this is since, what, 2017 maybe? >> yes. we've sent about 50,000 stocks so far over the past 7 years. pete: 50,000. >> yes.

activities. pete: you could have stopped with your brother and his platoon. why do you keep doing this? it's just -- our veterans and our military are such a forgotten group of people, and they really shouldn't be because of all the freedoms that we have are because of them and because they fought if for those freedoms. and freedom isn't free. and it's important to recognize those who fought for those freedoms. pete: no doubt. how -- you know it's unique for someone your age to have this kind of perspective, right? >> yes. [laughter] pete: is it, your mom's over here too. it's got to be your parents, very influential in instilling those values in you. >> oh, yes. my parents, like, were -- are very innine if, on how i see the world and everything like that. pete: it's called good parenting. >> it is. pete: are you going to keep going with this? >> absolutely. pete: how can people help out? >> so you can donate at miss sawyer.org. if you scroll down, there's a donate button. we get all of our donations

new sales through 2029. put that into context for us. i know it's the least ever allowed by an administration. what normally is the case for an administration on oil and gas leases in the gulf of mexico? >> well, normally the minimum is between 11 and upwards of 40 sales. federal production, will, accounts for 15-20% of our total oil and gas production, and so the administration has basically said we'll shut down 1 out of 5 barrels in future production. imagine if that -- if they said that to the agriculturalling or manufacturing sectors. imagine if they said we'll take one out of five airplane flights and take them offline. it's going to have dramatic economic consequences, and i don't think people realize how badly this is going to impact them. will: just to clarify, when you say it accounts for one in five barrels of oil,ing 15-20%, is that offshore drilling at large or is that gulf of mechanic coe specific? >> well, there is very little, if any, offshore drilling outside the gulf of mexico, so

this actually impacts just in the gulf of mexico itself 15% of our total production. one offshore platform produces the energy equivalent of dozens and dozens and dozens of wind platforms. it's a different type of energy as well because it has different uses. so we're producing manager that has long value versus just independent electricity like wind farms. will: and that's the move, isn't it? the biden administration, i believe it's going to allow for more wind activity in the gulf of mexico as part of this, reducing down to three new oil and gas platforms in the gulf of mexico, increasing wind? many. >> correct. the reason why they're actually having to do this sale because the i.r.a. bill forced them to do that. if you want to do offshore wind, you have to do offshore oil and gas, so they're doing the bare minimum. they don't even deserve a participation trophy for something like this. they're basically phoning it in. will: by the way, just to clarify, that's the inflation

reduction act. remember? designed to reduce inflation. and here you see the effects. it's to do the bare minimum in allowing new fossil fuel production of energy. and you alluded to it, tim, several times, one in five barrels taken offline, what economic impact does that have. well, some indication. here's the price of crude oil since the biden administration took over for west texas intermediate, it went from $52 a barrel, it's up to $72, til. >> yeah. and the problem, will, is these offshore leases take years and years to develop, so this has a really, really long tail of impact, how it's going to impact consumer prices well into the future. we have to have a rolling leasing program, and the administration let the prior one expire, and this is going to have impacts 7, 8 or 10 years down the road, unfortunately or, for us. will: and just to put a button on this, we did this story yesterday, we've talked about it on a weekly basis, the number of ways in which fossil fuels from coal to oil and gas has been, i

mean, attacked sounds like a political word, but reduced. we're reducing the amount we have available, and we're pushing more into green. >> absolutely. and people don't realize there's 6,000 consumer products that rely on petrochemicals for their base ingredient. this not just has an impact at the pump, what we're paying for our heating bills each other. d -- can month. everything from food to aspirin has an impact as well. will: tim stewart with, thanks so much for shedding some light on this this morning. thank you. >> great to be with you. will: still ahead, gearing up for christmas. with just about a week to go, mike caudill is here to show you the top gifts -- oh, adam's riding a bike around out there?
