i had a couple democrats reach out to me, they are having the same issue in orlando section of town. we need to use common sense to fix problems, we are not looking from a sense caliperspective. these people should not have a right to stay in someone's home. squatter and rights in the same statement? >> carley: so true and state representative steeleshould be used to fix real life issues. hopefully they will fix it fast. thank you. third hour of "fox and friends" starts right now.

♪ ♪ >> joey: here we go, starting the third hour this morning. carley and i had to take a double take to see if that was behind us, that is how good the graphics are. we thought you had a fireplace. maybe i'm letting the cat out of the bag. that is a graphic. carley and i both had to look back. >> carley: i was like, when did they hang that ball in the building. they changed it to a bowtie pattern. >> griff: interesting new year's

eve in new york. the weather looks like it will be warm. we got rain today and yesterday and all week long pro-palestinian protesters disrupting the airport and fifth avenue. and see if they show up for new year's eve, it could be something. >> carley: do you remember when it rained, we were hosting the pre-show. it was raining so hard that the teleprompter broke 30 seconds before the show started and we had to ad lib. >> griff: we were 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. >> joey: that is where you want to be, people are not overboard and you get to go ring in the new year. >> griff: camera one went down,

camera two went down. i think camera three did, too. there is no prompter, here is the show, go. >> joey: who is that on the screen right there? what is happening? >> griff: a stupid looking child with nerd glasses in this great city. i can't even do the math. >> carley: great dance moves. >> joey: look at the pants. >> griff: who is that? here we go. >> carley: that is me crowd surfing in the pouring rain and those guys carrying me were really nice, they were like, i won't drop you. >> griff: you surfed the crowd better than me. >> joey: you were bobbing. >> griff: she had solid form. >> carley: they took me away, i

kept going for minutes. >> joey: can you surf me back. >> carley: they did. >> griff: tough to change direction, talk about a story going to play out beyond the new year. colorado supreme court kicking former president trump off the b balance and engage nothing insurrection. not something he's been charged with across 91 charges or anything he's been engaged with and one that many legal scholars say is not even a charge the state has authority to bring. >> carley: the republican party appealed to supreme court and by excluding from the ballot, engaged in disregard for first amendment right of political party to select candidate of

their choice and usurp rights of people to choose officials unless the decision is overturned any voter will have power to sue, disqualify any candidate in colorado or any other jurisdiction that follows its lead. >> joey: that makes me wonder if they are signalling if this continues, we'll find ways to disqualify others and opening pandora's box, there has to be order here. it doesn't hurt president trump if he keeps lead he kept in other places. >> griff: it would be unprecedented to remove the candidate, the people under our democracy on that ballot and have state supreme courts making own election laws to choose which candidate they prefer in act of tremendous political

discrimination that is what senator graham said to us yesterday, listen here. >> the supreme court will slap it down and a state interpreting the insurrection clause is a bad idea. they hate the guys guts. talk about radical, they want to abolish electorial college and have hr one. they are radical, not donald trump. this colorado decision won't stand. it is time to fight back. >> carley: he says the supreme court will snap this case up in a heartbeat and has national implication outside of colorado. 14 states have moved to disqualify trump from the ballot. >> joey: and has anything like this happened before? jonathan turley had this to say approximate how this compares to what happened with bush v gore. >> jonathan: bush v gore was

disruptive in court, spent years trying to repair the division on the court itself. try to get unanimous decision to reject colorado decision and to protect our democratic values to show the public that the court is divided idlogically. >> joey: makeup of the supreme court, look at bush v gore, 5-4 decision, decision people say politics influenced that. this would be precedence is how we pick our president. >> griff: the clock is ticking. january 4 is the deadline, we're a week away, we'll see what the

supreme court does. it was a divisive ruling and this has more at stake because you are talking about the ballot before you get to the election. bush v gore was deciding the election, this is the ballot, beginning of the process. >> carley: the stakes are high. seven after the hour. right now israeli forces are working to wipe out last hamas battalion in northern gaza. [shooting] >> joey: fighting comes at a high cost, idf announcing three more soldiers have been killed. >> griff: trey yingst joins us live. trey. >> trey: good morning.

i want to start with the latest out of the west bank. launching new raids against militants and infrastructure. a money exchange facility was targeted. after expanding ground operation, the israelis are facing resistance. 167 soldiers have been killed since fighting began. hamas and jihad launch new attacks. conflict continue, humanitarian situation in gaza is deteriorating for two million palestinians living there. >> it is day 82 of the conflict between israel and hamas. the war is challenging for some

of gaza's most vulnerable residents, like this deaf woman whose daughter has autism. war is difficult. i struggle a lot in the war. there is hardly any food and challenging to find supplies. it is estimated 1.9 million palestinians are displaced. civil yabians lineup waiting for meals. the food is far from enough to feed all the people. i got my food today, sometimes i am not so lucky. >> trey: on the humanitarian front israel says 118 aid trucks entered and it was requested israel shut down a checkpoint

because of logistics receiving. >> griff: food trucks going in, hostages are not coming out, correct? >> trey: correct 129 are still being held inside gaza. hamas and islamic jihad have rejected calls for ceasefire because they do not want regime change in gaza. >> carley: that is what is going on in israel. back at home, pro-palestinian protests continue to rock cities across the country and in some of the most annoying displays yesterday, pro-palestinian protesters, opposite side of the country, blocked entrances to jfk airport and lax in los angeles. traffic was snarled to a halt,

they were locking hands and disrupting the road. people missed flights because of this. >> joey: this should be illegal, especially on airports. if pilots and attendants can't get to work and a plane can't take off, an organ or a surgeon that has to be someone somewhere, lives could be lost. arrests should be made quickly. we see overseas the famsz video of the italian protest where a guy comes up and pulls them off and their hands were glued down. >> griff: we were showing you jfk. this in lax in los angeles. the police lapd had to go into

riot gear, it became more unruly. you can see protesters being arrested here simply because of ability to get media coverage. look at people whose travel plans and people going to work and others disrupting their lives, calling for from the river to the sea, calling for abolition of the state of israel, something we talked about whether protestors fully understand what they are trying to do. everybody has a right, i keep on saying this, right to first amendment, we need to make tougher consesubsequences for those that disrupt commerce. we may see this in time square. >> carley: look at the

passengers trying to get under the banners, do those look like people that are being persuaded? they look angry to me. what the heck are these people thinking? to think you can put yourself, you are more fortunate and your perspective is more important than these people's lives certainly controversial way to handle this. i was reading in new york city, police in new york city were forced to change how they deal with protesters so now when they get vioviolent, police officerse strapped how they can handle it. >> griff: mayor eric adams said in the wake of black lives

matter protest, you now have officers dealing with protesters that are violent, police are hesitant and that is the most dangerous situation you can create. >> joey: you have to treat the aggressor with same protection as innocent and we talked about swatting earlier, going into protests, they can be violent and police officers still do that job, it is amazing to me. >> carley: more headlines starting with fox news alert blanchard released from prison this morning. she and her boyfriend were arrested in 2015.

she claims her mother abused her falsely claiming blanchard was sick and forcing her to use a wheel 2k4r9 chair and undergo unnecessary medical procedures. >> carley: the owner and operator was accused of repossessing and selling vehicles that belonged to deployed marines. debt collectors and towing companies should not be allowed to take their property or illegally take property from a marine and find out. officials in new york city revealing new design for 2024 new year's eve ball. the bowtie was created by

marquee. >> carley: one issue of being in time square, you can't go to the bathroom unless you are in a restaurant. if you got to go, you got to spend $650. >> joey: my son is up, he wanted to check out the hotel from "home alone 2." this scene is why, check it out. >> excuse me, where is the lobby? >> down the hall and to the left. >> joey: that is president trump, young president at the time not president, kevin mcallister from "home alone 2."

the director christopher columbus, had to to say about trump. he said this is his quote, trump said okay, we paid the fee, the only way to use the plaza is if i'm in the movie. we screened it for the first time, people cheered when trump showed up on time. i said to my editor, leave him in the movie, it is a moment for the oaudience, but he did bully his way into the movie. >> carley: his name is christopher columbus, he accused trump of bullying his way into the film. and former president trump responded. >> griff: trump said, how time flies, director chris columbus and others begged me and rented

the plaza hotel, i was very busy and didn't want to do it. they were persistent and i agreed. 30 years later, columbus put out a statement i bullied myself into the movie, nothing could be further from the truth. that cameo helped make the movie a success. why did they put me in and keep me there? because i am great for the movie, just another hollywood guy from the mast looking for a quick fix of trump publicity for himself. >> joey: it is in president trump's makeup to respond. he takes things personal. i feel like chris columbus's statement was a win. his statement said the people

wanted trump even if they didn't. >> joey: so much for home field advantage, new data reveals democrats in pennsylvania are switching to gop in droves. grooik and leo terrell will join us with his insight. hi, i'll have the avocado toast... minus the avocado. so, toast? yeah. everything is so expensive these days. hey, chevy gets it. that's why they're keeping prices down to earth. like on the most affordable ev in america. ♪ a super strong and capable chevy truck. ♪ and a high-tech chevy suv. ♪ why is chevy making affordable vehicles, connected by onstar? so together we can do more.

stress on the american people and it is a no brainer. the american people were better off under president trump and they cannot afford financial or bidenomics currently, it is too expensive to live under joe biden. >> joey: pennsylvania is a swing state,ive live in georgia and georgia is a bit of a swing state. we will see margins swing the state. when we look at pennsylvania, i think of pennsylvania as a blue-collar state, very much about family and personal responsibility. what about president trump's policies would persuade voters in pennsylvania? >> leo: president trump relates to the everyday person.

democratic party is party of elites and hollywood. president trump has people at rallies baltimore he can relate to them. and the democratic party has forgotten the middle man, the american citizen who worked a blue-collar job and pennsylvania, georgia, michigan, wisconsin they are turning red because much president trump. all the mud thrown at president trump, american people have never abandoned president trump. >> joey: we see the numbers, what do you predict will happen in georgia or nevada, traditionally red, do you think this trend will sweep the country? >> leo: absolutely, joe biden cannot change his course of

>> carley: people are saying this is a first amendment violation. >> it is that, they are drawing gender based line, you are either born with boy parts or girl parts. our supreme court says it has to withstand intermediate scrutiny, important governmental interest. what is the government interest in sectioning toys? >> carley: good point. and this is for elected officials. >> i'm a fan of this, florida is taking a step in the right direction. look at the biden administration, indictment of bob menendez hauled into criminal court for taking bribes, it is about time to see

i don't care if you are on pull my finger gas, administration should have no input on what you have for a stove. this is part of a broader problem, not just gas stoves, ceiling fans, air conditioning units, even beer, this administration wants american citizens to be department on the government, what you drive, where you live or what you put in your home, they want you to look to the federal government for answers to everything and that is not right. >> griff: when you broaden and step back and look at this and obviously president joe biden trying to get re-elected we heard about priority of the
