young, young ♪ pete: a shot of jacksonville beach, florida. the fourth and final hour of this saturday edition of "fox & friends." january 6th. year of our lord, 2024. looks like a nice spot. kayleigh: that's where i was born, jacksonville, florida. home to tim tebow. pete: you know the name of the hospital. kayleigh: st. vincent hospital. will: what's the name of your hospital? pete: i don't know. i know i was born in minneapoli- kayleigh: mama's going to text you. pete: probably a lutheran hospital in minneapolis. will: i was surprised you were surprise anded she knew -- pete: the name of the hospital. will: lynn, do you know the name

of the hospital you were born in? everyone knows. you're the outlier. kayleigh: maybe you're just maintaining your private. pete: i've been hipaa from the beginning. will: maybe you were found in a basket. [laughter] kayleigh: like moses. pete: moses down the minehaha river there in minnesota. [laughter] kayleigh: oh, my if goodness. pete: by the way, this is our first time together in the new year. did you make resolutions? will: i did. i think you know this, you're setting me up. pete: did you make resolutions in. kayleigh: i had a walk on the beach, and we all a made resolutions. i'm abiding by two of the four so far. will: people were hitting me up, telling we they're making fun of you -- pete: mostly a failure. and i think you really, you inflated some of your grades. [laughter] will: no such thing. pete: i think your resolutions -- he made 20 resolutions last year. kayleigh: 20?

if. will: yeah. kayleigh: who does that? will: me. we're going to move on. he said mostly a failure. like 10 and a half failures, 9 -- 10 and a half successes, is that a failure? if. kayleigh: no, that's pretty good. will: i agree. pete: sa keel o'neill free throw percentage -- kayleigh: 95%, well done. will: no, it's -- kayleigh: you said -- will: nine and a half of twnt. life is not about your shooting percentage, life is a volume game, and i got nine. if hyde made three, i would have done less than the nine out of twenty -- kayleigh: you should have been a lawyer. oh, wait, you are. pete: you make 100% of the shots? yeah, that's the philosophy. tomorrow we'll talk about our resolutions and how we're doing. kayleigh: that's what we call

accountability. well, on to this. the supreme court set to take up the colorado case to disqualify donald trump from the ballot. they will hear oral arguments on february 8th. here's president trump reacting to that news. >> the supreme court is taking the case from colorado, and so -- [cheers and applause] and you know what i do find and, you know, maybe say it, maybe don't but i say it, a democrat judge appointed by, let's say, obama, they're the down -- they say we're appointed, that's the end. when you are a republican judge and you're appointed by, let's say trump, they go out of their way to hurt you so that they can show that they have been fair, fair, honorable people. it's an amazing difference. republican judges want to go out of their way to be fair and unbiased and even to a point

where they hurt you. but all i want is fair. i fought really hard to get three very, very good people in there, great people, very smart people. pete: and that may end up being the most consequential, ongoing factor of the trump presidency, are those three additional justices not just on roe v. wade, which will also be a huge campaign issue in 2024, but on deciding these things that on the surface are petty but very consequential and have been a huge part of the conversation. will the front-runner on the republican side actually be on the ballot, and if the supreme court doesn't decide on this in february, which they're going to do, this could have continued, and we've got enough nonsense that's going to be going request on for the next 10 months. we don't need this too. kayleigh: his name will appear on the ballot, and the secretary of state has said if the supreme court upholds the ruling to disqualify of the colorado court, we will not count your

ballot. if you think you can write in his name, that is exprison sitly ruled out in the -- explicitly ruled out. you cannot write his name in millions it's the reversed by the court. will: we had on the colorado republican chair, dave williams, just a little earlier about this battle over the bat olds in colorado. >> -- ballot. he's officially on the ballot, however, we're not certain that absent a supreme court ruling that affirmatively declares that he's supposed to be counted, we're not sure that our secretary of state's going to count those votes. so we're very relieved the court has taken up the case, and we're waiting for them to do what should have been done since the beginning. i don't put it past janet griswold to respect the rule of law. we're not going to talk it lying down. no matter, what, we're going to insure that our voters are the -- take it lying down. that that's why we're so hopeful that the supreme court will smack this ruling down and allow

the voters the right to support donald trump. pete: you've got to wonder what the next form of election are interference will be. they're not going to stop. they haven't stopped since the very beginning. kay kay yeah. i have 2008 that they will strike this down, and to the people saying trump justices recuse themselves, should ketanji brown jackson are recuse herself? if you're saying, kavanaugh, step away, you likewise should be saying jackson, step away. i'm hopeful 9-0. will: meanwhile, the biden administration and pentagon under fire for keeping it secret that secretary of defense lloyd austin had been in the hospital apparently details are actually fairly sparse and unknown still, seemingly for very serious conditions. a hospital stay for a week would suggest something fairly serious. here's a letter from pentagon press association to secretary austin's personnel. they said the fact that he has been at walter reed national military medical center for four

days and the pentagon is only now alerting the public late on friday evening is an outrage. at a time when there are growing threats to u.s. military service members in the middle east and the u.s. is playing a key national security role in the wars in israel and ukraine, it is particularly critical for the american public to be informed about the health status and decision making ability of its top defense leader. if as you pointed out earlier, fox news' jen griffin likened this to something that would happen in communist china. kayleigh: yeah, barb a starr, she's in the pentagon press corps -- and i want to point out unlike the white house press corps, pentagon press corps, these are the best of the best. barbara starr of cnn saying this is a huge strategic failure. as of tonight, i do not see a way forward for believing that the pentagon tells the truth. these are harsh words. and just as a reminder, the sec tar of de -- secretary of defense is in the chain of

command. no ambiguous terms, first the president through the secretary of defense issues orders. so this is a very important role, and we need this information. pete: yeah. this is the same pentagon that told us the airlift in afghanistan was a maasive success. there's a lot of reasons not to believe what comes out of this pentagon, also a lot of the reason why young men and women aren't joining the military. and now it's exemplified when on monday the secretary of defense went into the hospital, and we don't -- and now that's become a friday night info dump? like, where are we? voters deserve to know that, and, will, to your original point, how serious is it? i've had some pretty substantial surgeries or things where even though it's a bug deal, you're in and out, same day or next day. maybe get away with that that. five days? kayleigh: in the middle of two wars. pete: you're monitoring something or there's been some serious surgery or something that deserves to be disclosed to

us. will: not completely unrelated, the new hampshire house, new hampshire statehouse has passed a bill that would require the united states congress to declare war before deploying the new hampshire national guard. finish quote from the bill real quick reads as follows: article i, section eight of the united states constitution vests the congress with the exclusive power to declare war, and the united states congress has failed to follow the united states constitution and the intent of the founders. pete: this caught my eye. it's a really interesting development. right now this is new hampshire only. and new hampshire's simply pointing out that it's supposed to be congress that declares war. it has become an executive branch function, and as a result, unless the congress declares war, new hampshire doesn't have to send troops for foreign war. i mean, to me, it makes a lot of sense. i spent most of my career as a national guardsman deployed multiple times to foreign wars. we got used to the idea that state and national guard are

part of exe we decision their forces which is not traditionally the use of a national guard. and so this is new hampshire saying we don't trust how the federal government's going to use our troops, so we're willing to commit them when the american people through their elected branch in congress commits those troops to a foreign war. then you can. i i love this idea. and i, i'm sure the national guard bureau is, oh, no. i love states exerting their influence through a system of federalism and the idea of protecting the prerogative the of why are we sending some young guy from new hampshire to the eastern province of afghanistan when you have a northern border problem or floods that happen in new hampshire and they're not there to be able to provide support for that? it's a pretty -- it's an interesting development. it'll be interesting to see whether other legislatures to this and how the military react as to it. kayleigh: why are states having to tell the federal government,

abide by the letter of the constitution. i love it as well, but it's an unfortunate state of affairs when the states are having to say abide by the text. pete: no doubt. kayleigh: on to this. this is kind of the story of the week, i would say -- pete: really? kayleigh: it is the most intriguing. it is not the most important, however, the most intriguing and p also, the saddest. a small town democratic mayor accused of acting like a real life parks and rec character as she lives like a royal. she calls he's the super mayor with -- she calls herself the super mayor. spends all this money on hair and makeup, signage, putting her name on it. pete: she's ever where. kayleigh: her residents make $24,000 -- she makes north of $300,000, she makes more than the governor. she was voted to be recalled, but a court reversed it on a technicality. and she said, you know, i'll keep the pay unless my opponent wins, and then the salary's going to drop 20,000 something. will: 225 for this one

mayorship. and to what you just said, kayleigh, if she loses the election, the salary reverse ised. pete: if she wins, she gets to keep her salary. and if she loses -- it's meant to deter opponents from running. i love the billboards. because when people say why are you all over these billboards, she says, no, it's an ad for senior services or fresh produce. it just has my name in the biggest font. kayleigh: that's her music video, by the way. pete: these music videos are with the cops. they're with the fire d., so she's pro-law enforcement which is great to see. you know what this is, will? i love it. will: what? pete: i love it. kayleigh: you love it? pete: she's just doing out loud what every other politician does under the table. bob menendez does gold bars, everyone else does insider trading. she's just out there saying i am

who i am. and i'm a super mayor. and you can try to recall me, but you can't beat them i'm going to take your tax money an. will: i'm going to bankrupt this city, and you're going to vote for me. pete: and if you vote me out? oh, you tried to? can't vote me out, there's some fresh produce. it's just out there and, of course, she's a progressive democrat. she's just doing it openly. kayleigh: she is. pete: i'm sure if i lived there, i'd hate it. but from this little couch here in new york, it's amusing. kayleigh: the election attorney is trying to hold her accountable. the trustees haven't been paid, i spoke to him earlier in the day. let's hear what he had to say. >> there has never, ever been anything close to the corruption and actual stealing of money that's going on in the poor little village of dalton. it's a dictatorship. it's a one-person rule of what i call an accidental mayor who won

three years ago when the incumbent mayor had a heart attack two months before the election. so she, she has consumed everything in government. she hires, she fires, she pays checks, she doesn't paychecks, and this poor municipality is going to go bankrupt if they're not there already. it's beyond control. i know there's pending investigations, i just don't know when it will come to closure. kayleigh: she has withheld pay from the trustees for two years. so she withholds money from those she disagrees with. by the way, we reached out for a statement, we did not around hear pack back. pete: she's welcome on our show anytime. absolutely. tomorrow morning, anytime, come on. will: turning now to your headlines, the fbi arresting three people at a florida ranch in connection to january 6th. three years to the day since the incident. olivia pollack and joseph

kayleigh: we're back with a major announcement this morning by the house speaker, mike johnson, formally inviting president biden to deliver the state of the union address on march 7th. the speaker asking the president to make a joint address, quote, in this moment of great challenge for our country. the two leaders have been at odds over a number of issues ranging from border security to government spending. this will be the first state of the union for johnson as speaker. he traditionally sits behind and to the left of the president during the address to congress.

pete: march 7th feels late, right? kayleigh: it does. it's typically january or february. pete: interesting. give joe more time to get ready. kayleigh: exactly, he needs it. pete: all eyes on a battleground house seat in michigan's 7th congressional district previously held by representative alyssa elissa slotkin who's now running for the u.s. senate in michigan. our next guest represented michigan in the state legislature for seven years and just launched his second bid for the house seat. tom bare it joins us now -- tom barrett joins us now. this is one of the most competitive districts in the country which makes it an important and helpful bellwether at the national level not just for the presidential race, but for the future of the majorities in the house and senate. what issues are animating voters the most for you? >> yeah, thank you, pete. thank you for having me on. happy new year, and you're right, this is the already teed up as the most competitive congressional seat in the country.

it's one that has a razor thin, partisan edge really for no side or the other. and the biggest issues are the issues we're seeing across the country; national security threats from china and other near-poor adversaries to the united states, border security with the surge in migrants coming across making every community less safe, economic security, the cost of living whether it's grocery, energy, home heating, and last wily but certainly one of the most important is neighborhood security. the detroit news just reported here in michigan we had a 60% increase in assaults on police officers with one of the fewest arrests in sewer actions with law enforcement -- interactions with law enforcement that we've seen on record. we're surging in assaults against cops because if we're not holding people accountable for their behavior, and yet we have fewer interactions with police overall. pete: now doubt. i'm finish no doubt. i'm sure you heard joe biden yesterday demagoguing about the state of our democracy even though we're a republic, but that teas a side point. --

that's a side point. is that effective in -- how does that affect i your race? >> you know, i think people want to see us return to the seriousness of the issues that are affecting everyday americans and our livelihoods. and it goes back to those four issues that i talked about. two to my web site, tom barrett for congress.com, we call them our four pillars of security, national security, border security, neighborhood security and economic security. the things that people care about the most as they sit around their kitchen table and make their decision as to who they're voting for for congress or president. pete: you're a former state legislator, 232 years in the army -- the -- 22 years in the army. >> yes, sir. pete: your opponent went to a veterans day event, wore an army jacket, certainly aruledded to the fact that -- he he wasn't in the army. >> it's something i'm proud of and my opponent, you know, shows up, you know, prances around in a another man's uniform on

veterans day and tries to defend this by saying, well, civilians can buy this uniform, so it can't -- count down -- doesn't count. thankfully, a number of veterans stepped up to call him out. i just think it represents, you know, a lot of irony and hypocrisy to show up at a veterans day event wearing another man's uniform to somehow suggest that a you're supporting set irans. there are men if dethe of ways to support veterans. solen tour for a veterans' organization, donate time or resources, help clean up a cemetery. there are plenty of ways to support our vet a irans without wearing another man's uniform on veterans day and projecting the image that you're at veteran when you're not. i think that's something that's a problem. again, i'd love to get some help from folks. if you go to my web site, tom baster for -- tom barrett for congress.com, we can make sure we prevailing and help win back this majority in congress next year and put the country back on the right track. pete: this will not be the last

kayleigh: we're back with a fox weather alert, snow falling across the country as millions on the east coast prepare for a nor'easter that could bring the first major snowfall of the year. let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. rick: we are hoping for the first snowfall in two years. take a look at the maps, one big storm across much of the east is spreading towards the mid-atlantic, now the southern tail of this, by the way, bringing a lot of rain this morning and the threat for severe weather. i'll show you that more in a second. we have icing across parts of virginia, west virginia. be really careful this morning

across interstate 81 or any of the roads around there, really dangerous conditions. here's where the severe weather threat is today, we could be seeing a tornado or two, and they've added that red bull's eye in over the last couple of hours, an increased threat across areas of florida for severe weather. areas of the northeast, upstate new york, much of pennsylvania and a lot of new england, but coastal areas, i think, are going to be mostly rain are. just not getting enough of the cold air to see significant snow, so we might not get that 1-inch snowfall which would allow that record to continue to grow. notice this, that little red line that you see from d.c. through philly and new york, that is interstate 95, and that's kind of the dividing line between where we've got rain to the east of it and snow accumulating to the west of it. some of that snow once you get into the higher elevations maybe in the 8-12 inches. we're talking about catskills, berkshires, worcester hills, everybody else maybe 5-8 inches or so. not a blockbuster snow, but

certainly the first significant winter storm of the season. guys, send it to you inside. will: gop lawmakers are threatening a government shutdown unless biden and the senate democrats agree to secure the southern border. this comes as a funding bill for the border was delayed with gop lawmakers fed if up with the migrant surge hitting record highs. one of those lawmakers joins us now, texas representative chip roy. congressman, great to have you this morning. let's talk about the showdown. first of all, it's house versus senate, in a way. the senate seems to want to wrap up a much larger package, you guys want to advance h.r. 2 and directly address what's happening ott our southern border. finish at our southern border. is it going to come down to a government shutdown? >> good morning, will. you grew up in texas, so you understand what we're facing down in texas in terms of the impact on our communities. i had six kids who died from fentanyl poisoning just southwest of austin, texas, just

last year alone. we're sick of it. we're fed up. the biden administration is going to court to sue to try to stop greg abbott from if cutting the razor wire or from using our laws to deport people and protect our communities. so, you know, i'm tired of all the games. you know, look, in w that's what we're -- in washington, that's what we're getting out of the senate. they want a deal for more money more ukraine. we want to do our job to force the biden administration to the table. to answer your question, yes, the people of texas are telling me very bluntly, you know, make sure that biden understands he's either going to shut down the border or choose to shut town the government. with but it'll be on him. it's our job in congress to use the power of the purse to stop it, and if we don't do that, we're just going to get more of the same which means another 750,000 encounters over the next three months like we got over the first three months of this calendar year. it's time to stop it, time to end it. by the way, this should have been ended in 2018-19 when we had a republican in the white house and republican control of

the house and senate. we didn't -- meaning we, i winter there, but republicans didn't, and that's one of the reasons i'm saying this, i want to get laws enacted that will prevent someone like biden from doing this in the future. will: i'll come back to governor desantis and your presence in iowa today in just one moment. you have your facts straight, sherman, texas, born and raised. and i can hear the conviction on this issue, and i know you're reflecting the conviction of your constituents. the other side is showing a lot of conviction. we have to admit the biden administration is dedicated to insuring that border says -- stays open. including, as you point out, suing the state of texas. so, i don't know what your takeaway from that, but there iy deed candidated to their positions on the southern border. >> yeah. well, unfortunately, historically democrats have been more committed to their position, destroying the sovereignty and security of the united states and remaining mak.

we now have 50 million people in this country who are foreign-born, okay? they have about 20 million kids. this is the highest percentage we've ever had in the history of our country. they are doing that at a time where we don't teach our kids about the constitution, western civilization or to believe that america is great. so they're doing this purposefully. wide open borders, they believe in things like the new world order and the united nations making decisions for us. so that's purposeful. i just want republicans to meet that with at least the as much passion and resistance as democrats use to destroy our country. and that's the question for republicans and the speak orer of the house right now. are we going to meet the moment as republicans and use the power of the purse to stop this assault on our freedom, our security and well-being while we empower cartels, empower china, endanger texans? let's stop that right now. we can use the power of the purse. pass a bill that will fund troops, fund border patrol, send it to the president and say see you in november. will: i just want to say that little nugget of your answer, 50

million -- we don't teach our own children about the united states constitution, our form of government or american values, much less 50 million illegal immigrants who -- and it's not about whether they're good or bad people, it's about whether or not they understand and are dedicated to those american values. you're changing the country, period. either on purpose or by accident, you're changing the country. i don't want to rob you of this time. as i mentioned, you're in iowa, i see the sign for governor desantis behind you. it's a big week. you're headed towards the caucuses this week. what are you expecting in iowa? the. >> well, look, man, there's a lot of enthusiasm and excitement on the ground for governor ron desantis. he's a guy who has delivered for the people of florida, and i think that we in this country need someone who will deliver in the house -- white house, and i want someone my 4-year-old son can look up to $14-year-old son -- 14-year-old son can look up to. this is a guy e who's a winner. he won 50% of single female

voters, he has delivered time and time again, and importantly unlike former president trump with all due respect who i supported and if who i'll support if he's the nominee, this guy actually stood up to fight to secure the border in 2018. he was with the freedom caucus making sure we should pass good legislation when president trump was saddling up with paul ryan to pass an amnesty first bill. and for you people out there who sport president trump, google it. go looked at the facts. we didn't get the wall built, we didn't get mexico to pay for it, and the former president then gives anthony fauci a medal, a commendation as he's leaving the job. and meanwhile, he destroyed our country, $8 trillion in debt, shut down our economy. governor desantis was fighting to keep it open in florida. that's the kind of leadership i think we need, and the people in iowa recognize that while nikki haley goes to new hampshire and says new hampshire needs to correct iowa. people in iowa, they get to make

a decision here to set the stage for americans. will: i tell you what, i would love to have a deeper conversation with you as we approach the iowa caucuses both on the substantive issues and political issues. hopefully, you and i can get together in the coming weeks and go over some of these issues in more depth. >> let's do it. i loved being a prosecutor in sherman, texas, it's a great part of the country. will: were you a federal prosecutor up there? >> yeah, i was up there and mckinney. will: right in front of judge brown for all those years. great to see you. >> god bless. will: still ahead, professional bull riding is back at the garden this weekend, is and we're putting our inner cowboys to the test. i don't want to do this, i fail every time. ♪ -- and the sunshine shining. ♪ cowboy, baby ♪ we're told in genesis chapter 1:26 that god is made man in his image and by his likeness has he made him.
