the event seemed to be popping up all over iran. and it is surprising, maybe not surprising someone to take a shot at the president, but you know, i ran in the military are responsible for a lot of the ieds in iraq. that's something the president has talked a lot about over the last couple years he's been running for president incentives become president. pete: first of all your central leader. you will be targeted and thrown in jail. rachel: and they were. before that, 30,000 prisoners. train to the ayatollah string to deny access fist based on this mission turnout hasn't worked so well paid the people there were sold after the iranian deal that the economy would improve and trickle down. inflation is gone up by 10%.

presidential treat the 2015. the first is this one. terrible. just found that obama had my wires tacked in trump tower before that it re. nothing found. this is mccarthyism. rachel: why did you love this one? traded because it was proved to be correct. no substantiation, no evidence and over that time was proved that there is paul manafort or others around him that there is surveillance of him and his team and everyone said that's a lie, no proof it is pretty spot on. i also loved the second one. the fake news media, filling their times, it's not my enemy. is the enemy of the american people. once again, sent the media into hysterics. don't you understand how important we are in this journalist, with the negative. if you're not doing your job well and being fair or telling your people you are fair but you're extremely biased, you're an animated truth.

and the president treated him and said lavar come you could've spent the next five to 10 years during thanksgiving with your son in china but no nba contract to support you. remember, shoplifting is not a little thing, a really big thing especially in china. i'm grateful for. this is when donald trump channels but we are all thinking. another example of why he has to use twitter. match that barack obama had gotten these basketball players out. they would be a parade for obama that he got them out and he got very little credit. unless he toots his own horn he doesn't get it. pete: he also treated maybe i should have left him in jail. rachel: that's the part i left out. pete: let us know. friends@foxnews.com. the greatest hits. opposite the ones so we don't forget. peter: start scrolling. also this today.

>> good morning, guys. it gets a lot colder want to go higher up in the outcome of the winds kick up a little bit. the temperature goes down a little bit compass is certainly a very chilly morning out here. almost everywhere across the country except for south florida and parts of the southwest, california now is soon to -- arizona. down across parts of the u.s. dangerously cold night tonight. we've been talking all morning long. somewhere in the 10 to third teen degrees range. standing out here. we have a warm spot we can go to hear for five or six when i start to get really cold. dress accordingly. try not to drink too much because you'll probably not notice if you're going into some typical states. hypothermia. that is my advice.

all morning long we will be talking finding out about the new crystals that they have on this here as well as, my gosh, there we go. that is what is happening. brain freeze. that's never happened to me before by the way. pete: at 2018 is a new year, by the way, rick. visibly freezing in times square. rachel: haven't not about that. it's satire. it's probably even colder. rachel: terrible. if you open up your addition of the sunday "new york times" which the president has labeled the feeling you're times anonymously for his article this is how the russian inquiry began a campaign aide drinks and talk

of political dirt. here is part of the article from "the new york times" during a night of heavy drinking at upscale london are in may 2016, a young foreign-policy adviser to the trump campaign made a startling revelation in britain. rashad potable dirt on hillary clinton three weeks earlier. mr. papadopoulos had been told thousands of e-mails would embarrass us clinton apparently is dull and enough or to damage her campaign. "the new york times" is laying this out as the nexus in the beginning of the russian investigation. a drunk investigation for a more than a little outside adviser to the trump campaign that triggered the entire brush accelerated by a fake dossier paid for by the democrat. this is when it comes to. rachel: the timing is interesting.

people are getting upset at the american people, the congress that we didn't get the information from the fbi and the doj about the source of the dirty dossier. who paid for that? we know the dnc did. the fbi seems to not answer the question. they refuse to answer the question. are the anonymous sources and "new york times" from the fbi, doj trying to really distract and one last thing, peter, if the doj, if this did not start with the dirty dossier, why are they turning over the documents of the house intelligence committee has asked for seems kind of sneaky to me. >> we still don't know how accurate everything mr. papadopoulos is says. we do know everything has drunk at a bar never exaggerates. this doesn't mean the fbi still does not use the dossier of two

spy on members of the trump campaign. it does mean that a very, very expensive possibly historic special counsel probe may have a nexus code spouting off. george papadopoulos i don't know him at all.

this guy was never senior member of the team. i was trying to impress his boss. a young guy trying to cook up schemes of doing this and doing not to be more relevant. why wouldn't he be at a bar bragging about what he may or may not know and how could that be the trigger. you are right it very well could be combined with all the other aspects include in the dossier could lead to the nexus of the investigation which is the irony of the whole thing. the investigation going nowhere including updating. rachel: even if it were true saying that you heard the russian were spying on her e-mails. that doesn't mean necessarily there is any collision on the part of the trump campaign. transfer may be a reason after a year of investigating they don't have any evidence of collusion is because the star witnesses can't remember what they said. rachel: straight to your headlines. a fox news alert. a live look at times square with

which led to the police shooting and killing of a 28-year-old. >> tiger before jostling all over the house you >> we don't need to do that. rachel: police releasing body cam footage saying they want their maps are accountable. they had an argument over a video with another person not related to change. faculty and staff at lake superior university of michigan releasing the 43rd annual list of spanish words for new fears, overuse and general use. this years should sound familiar. >> it's all fake news. phony stuff.

"the new york times" has a not bad weather rider talks to several different than men about their life experiences and they have all concluded that none of it will lead them to ever want to take up the trash. that has to be a job for the man. they don't care that something from the 1950s or their list of reasons some people just don't like the mess. the smell, the weight. it doesn't matter. man's got to do it.

tree into president trump laying out his demand for daca deal. there until you fully understand there can be no daca without the wall of the southern border and the horrible chain migration in

ridiculous systems -- lottery system of immigration, et cetera. we must protect our country at all costs. >> is the president at the verge of a major deal? executive director of the center for immigration studies joins us now to weigh in. good morning, mark. >> good morning. and on wednesday democrats and republicans will get together at the white house to talk about daca. why do republicans need the democrats. they still have controlled the house and senate and white house. don't they try to do it like tax reform? >> because in the senate there's still the filibuster. the tax bill has a kind of parliamentary rule where you can move financial measures through only be one those. this will require 60 votes in the senate and so they are going to need some democrat diane. the reason for the package is

not just horsetrading. not just saying democrats come to you at the amnesty, we want this. makes the deal. that's not what is happening here. you need to have enforcement elements like the wall and other things and get rid of the chain migration in order to limit the damage caused by any of his due. if you have missed the people, first thing that happens is more illegal immigrants want to come. these people made it, we want to as well. the other thing is a few years down the road's former legal immigrants can sponsor family members are not a switching migration is. you need to fix those two things is part of the deal assorted damage control. if you just amnesty these people were daca, you'll end up with more illegal immigration march immigration. pete: of course, republicans just had a daca deal, not only would it be terribly politically

, the really good policy. you believe they can get a fully funded border wall and ended chain migration. in exchange for a daca deal that progressives are more or less obsessed with? >> we are going to see. the question is are they going to stick to their guns or are they going to cave when senator schumer and the senate is no deal? the real question is to question. will the president do to his guns? i think he will. and they willing to let these daca worked permits expire and let these people become illegal immigrants again rather than giving two pretty reasonable demands? democrats may be willing to play politics with these issues come up and lose their work permits and jobs when republicans in the white house say we are okay with amnesty and the special group of

people in exchange for things to limit damage. it will be democrats may behoove think this potential amnesty for this daca work people. >> at the gop in congress cave and agree to a deal that does not include a border wall, while the conservatives there moved to get rid of paul ryan a speaker, mitch mcconnell as majority leader. >> yeah, it could be. in the senate is where the fight is going to be. speaker ryan and mitch mcconnell will be taking their cues from the white house. the president says i'm going to veto this if it doesn't have what i want. they may say it strengthens their resolve. if they cave especially for ryan will be a real headache. pete: thanks for your time. appreciate it. freedom of religion reject it.

pete: #fox news 2018. someone just ran up on stage. pete. peter: tried to dunk up on camera. >> i normally hang out. pete: ed, we are glad to have you here. ed: think more and talk less. i feel like i'm always blabbing. peter: you said it. pete: how deep of you. rachel: sounds like philosophical comey tweets. ed: yeah, and i want to eat more bacon. pete: are all journalists saying the same thing? think more and talk less? ed: this sounds goofy i have been listening to on tape to the grant book. the book about president grant. it's interesting to get into history and out of the daily news cycle and look back. grant was just so underestimated and kind of

reminds me of the person in the oval right now in the campaign time and time again. the media and others saying he will never make it he will never get the nomination. he will never actually win. look at the economy. look how things are turning around. we have big stuff heading into 2018. pete: that's what we want to talk to you about. the president saying much more to come in 2018. tweeting about the fact there has been a lot of winning and good things happening in 2018. here is the good thing from the president about the economic surge. jobs are kicking in. unnecessary regulations and high taxes are being dramatically cut and only get better. more to come. ed, if you look into your crystal ball. what do you think is coming? ed: i think there is four i's in terms of the big issues in 2018. the president is getting the economy turned around as we are saying. that's because of the regulations he cut. that you all of a sudden the tax cut. infrastructure, immigration, insurance, and impeachment, okay? why those four? peter is on the hill a lot. right? infrastructure, this is something chuck schumer and the democrats have been

talking about going back to the obama days how they want to spend money, rebuild our roads and bridges. yet, they haven't talked a lot about it and the white house frankly hasn't talked a lot about it either. they promised to do it. they have got to get going on that in 2018. immigration, the president tweeted about this sure deal with daca by march and dreamers. what about the wall he promised in the campaign. what about other measures to crack down on illegal immigration. if the democrats want daca he will have to get something out of that as well. on insurance, they promised moderate republican susan collins they were going to do something bipartisan to stabilize the insurance markets to get her vote on tax cuts. pete: susan collins wants to stabilize markets and everyone else wants to repeal it. >> if you are going to repeal it, what are you going to do? if you north going to be able to repeal and replace as republicans did in 2017. you have to do something to stabilize the markets but get premium spikes calmed down. that's what really effects

our viewers. when you have states in arizona where the president talked about in campaign, premiums increasing by 116%. rachel: can't trump do some of these things through health and human services just through regulars. not necessarily virginiaing to go through commerce? >> you won't have quash premium strikes. are the democrats going to work with the president on any of those three i's or just talking about comey and mueller and impeachment and we don't like this guy and we're not going to work with him? pete: good question. >> the president has to reach across the aisle as well in 2018. he said before he left for florida signing the tax cuts into law. i have a whole big agenda and i do want to work with democrats. pete can they get out of their own way and do it at this point? i had he had democrats are not just talking about these issues. they are talking about how much they hate donald trump. rachel: they don't want him to succeed. if he fails they are in

better position for re-election. peter: chuck schumer and nancy pelosi negotiate a spending deal because they didn't like a tweet from the president where he said he was never going to cave. now the president is saying this: i use social media not because i like to but because it is the only way to fight a very dishonest and unfair press, in quotations. now referred to as a fake news media phony and nonexistent sources are being used more often than ever. many stories and reports a pure fiction. and, ed, i know that, you see this i have got to trump rallies after he stands on a riser talk for hour and a half. i will listen to someone from another outlet next to me their understanding of what was just said is a lot. ed: a little different. peter: things being said introduced.

ed: normally here you have pete channeling the president and saying, you know, air quotes on the press. now you have the president with that tweet channeling pete a little bit doing the air quotes that he loves so much when he is talking about journalists. pete: big hit on credibility in 2017. ed: come to the couch with favorite tweet of the year. here is mine and so many to choose from. despite the constant negative press covco press covf. pete: he was asked 80 different ways about it and he kept saying we know what you meant. rachel: it's so if you pleasey because barack obama was sort of this young president with this really young social media team and

his social media, his twitter feed was pretty boring because other people were doing very conventional. here is grandpa donald trump and we can't live without seeing what is going on with his news feed. is he moving the news cycle. ed: i can't stay too long. 8:00 p.m. eastern it starts. lisa booth and dean cain. we decided, you know, this year has been talked about a lot. and people are talking about this a moment ago. all of the nfl players that were kneeling. not standing for the anthem. questions about, you know, respecting our veterans. and we thought why not as part of our coverage have men and women in uniform and those who have served and are now trying to transition and benefit from this improving economy. there is a bakery in washington, d.c. called dog tag bakery. and they mostly, not completely but mostly hire veterans, military spouses.

caregivers. and it's a nonprofit. try to get these transitioning from war to the home grant. i have talked to a lot of these veterans. went down and interviewed them last week. they were talking about how the hardest part is coming home and when you at war. everything is laid out for you. here is how we are going to do it. commanders telling them. all of a sudden you are all alone and you have to make that transition. take a look. >> veterans like peter scott say was not necessarily serving in war it's coming out and moving on. he came out of army with post-traumatic stress. >> it's been about 3 or 4 years. kind of soul searching. ed: finding yourself. >> finding myself. ed: start back at the bottom? >> take time to build up that confidence and experience. now scott has left dog tag and running his own nonprofit. >> dream big and find your

passion. ignite this human spirit again and help create a plan of moving forward. pete: dog tag bakery, because of the dog tags, the military identification that our men and women in uniform ware, and the reason why we want to highlight them. we have a couple of those veterans live with us times square tonight, we are talking about this rising economy and optimism all across america. yet, veterans, unemployment, veterans homelessness still huge problems in this country that have to be dealt with. and so we thought, you know, we're going to have great music. we have a lot of fun in times square tonight. lisa booth and dean cain and kennedy and jesse watters. you know that guy. waters, this is my world. that whole spiel. he will be out there too. we love him. we thought let's also bring some of our most courageous and bravest as well. rachel: sounds like a fun night. peter: you need a scarf. ed: i need a warm jacket.

i'm not wearing a suit. first time on fox i'm not wearing a suit. i will be casual and in layers. pete: that would be the first time i would see you without a suit. rachel: fox news alert. two protesters in iran shot dead as the nation's military warns they will face an iron fist if this unrest continues. nationwide protests running rampant overnight with public buildings being set on fire. demonstrators are rallying against the government for skyrocketing prices of basic necessities like fuel and food. iran's economy improving since the nuclear deal. that improvement yet to actually reach the average citizen. president trump tweeting moments ago, big protest in iran. the people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. looks like they will not take it any longer. the u.s.a. is watching very

closely for human rights violations. iranian americans will rally outside the white house today in solidarity. to another alert, and a live look at times square where the nypd is beefing up security as on 1 million people prepare to bring in the new year. snipers will keep watch from above as officers on the ground close off streets, check bags, and deploy bomb sniffing dogs. earlier former new york chief investigator steve cardigan explained why they are taking unprecedented measures. >> you can't prevent everything. there is always going to be evil people. if something happens, they're going to minimize the damage that it causes. it will likely be one of the entrances. rachel: on the las vegas strip snipers and national guard will protect thousands of new year's eve partiers. those are your headlines. headlines.pete. peter: coming up.

sarah carter more bombshells in 2018. what can we expect? she will join us live next. my digestive system used to make me feel sluggish

but now, i take metamucil every day. it traps and removes the waste that weighs me down, so i feel lighter. try metamucil, and begin to feel what lighter feels like. pete: new developments in the russia probe. the "new york times" claiming it all spurred from

a former trump aide who drunkenly tipped off australian diplomat russia's dirt on that i recall diplomat, in turn, notified the fbi. >> peter: that's not the only bombshell we can expect as mueller probe expands in 2018. investigative journalist sarah carter has been covering this from the beginning. she joins us now. are we supposed to believe that unsourced "new york times" or anonymously sourced "new york times" piece that the entire russia election meddling probe began because an aide was talking at a bar in london and somebody called -- somebody from australia called it in? >> no, peter. you know, this is one piece of a much bigger puzzle. so, of course, he is drunk at a bar in australia. they share everything with us. i mean, our relationship with russia, especially on an -- i mean with australia on an intelligence level is

very, very close. so, anything he would have told this alexander downer, who is the top australian diplomat would probably have been referred anyways to our intelligence community. and that is george papadopoulos. but this isn't why. according to my sources, this was just part of a bigger piece of a puzzle. the russian dossier. the dossier that was put together by christopher steele, that dossier in particular was really what spurred this investigation. i believe george papadopoulos' statement. i mean it's a lesson learned people say. you share information at a bar. but it's also significant. remember, back in 2015, is when the fbi warned the dnc that their computers had been hacked. so it wasn't like george papadopoulos had some kind of exclusive information. people were already whispering about this and he could have been very braggadocious about this. we don't know yet. or he could have had some insider information. that, we don't know yet. robert mueller has that information. pete: save, to george papadopoulos, the point has been made and needs to be

made again. he attended one short meeting in march of 2016. he was never told he could represent the campaign to anyone else. so he was not -- even the word aide to the campaign is generous. does this not feel like an attempt, potentially, to cover up the dossier or distract from the dossier's role in starting the fbi investigation? i mean, this all looks little funny. >> yeah, pete. it's a significant point. because, that's exactly what people are thinking now. think are going to try to look at all the evidence outside of that dossier to try to build up a case publicly. and, you know, especially sources that really wanted to go after trump and the trump campaign. we still have not seen any evidence of collusion whatsoever. i mean, this is what is really significant here. if robert mueller, if the special counsel has evidence of collusion, we still have not seen that at all. according to the people i have spoken with in the fbi, this goes way back to last year. there still is no evidence of collusion. and that's what they are looking for, right? so there is no evidence here.

and right now we know that robert mueller is preparing, is he going to put together a report that he is going to deliver to rod rosenstein in july. that's going to be very important because that's going to give rod rosenstein an update on his investigation. and so far we haven't seen it go down the trail of collusion. we have seen other things like paul manafort, business dealings. we have not seen the collusion part of that report yet. pete: no, we have not. peter: with this story whoever liked it now no one is talking about the dossier. pete: that's at least the attempt to say a drunken guy started it. peter: sarah carter thank you for coming in on new year's eve. >> thank you. happy new year. pete: the p.c. police, politically correct police have a new target to see you lens conservative speech. the reverend franklin graham. the threat to ban him from an entire country straight ahead. peter: nine children in colorado officially became u.s. citizens. this is one of them. we will introduce you to the 10-year-old proud american with a patriotic message we all need to hear next.

our nation's history, i think you have to look at this president and not only has he gist accomplished things by passing legislation, but also rolling back numerous, numerous regulations that have impeded our businesses around the country. to i think he came in this presidency with american first agenda and i think he is executing. rachel: we hear so much about the stock market. if you live outside the bubble and in the midwest, you know that manufacturing and construction jobs, by the way mining as well are up. >> that's right. well, the first thing he had to do was reduce those regulations. especially for minors, oil and gas as well. rachel: that's right. >> opening up the pipeline. you have to get a culture of confidence when it comes to creating u.s. jobs. not just with the tax profits that many of the corporations will have. be able to roll back into the economy. but what you also have to do is make sure that you are saying we are going to have better trade deals and not going to be taken advantage of in this country. our corporate heads are able

to create more jobs inside the united states. but also small businesses are able to flourish because he creates policies that allow all americans to flourish. not just a certain segment of americans. pete: eric, we know this president ran on immigration, but the immigration system in this country is very broken for a number of reasons. so you say he set the table in 2018 to revamp that system? >> yes. i mean, i was really pleased to see during the campaign, of course, we talked about building the wall. we have had reduced rates of immigration coming across the border since he has taken office, because, again, you know, it worked. deterrence works. at the same time, we need to have a real common sense immigration policy and i was very pleased to see his tweet the other day when he said we are not just going to give up any form of amnesty unless we are going to crack down with sanctuary cities and start to build the wall. those are what he ran on. and, finally, we have a president that, you know, promises and delivers. that's what we have in president trump. rachel: all right. now, he also ran on backing law enforcement and bringing

back respect for cops. so, talk about that briefly. >> that was a big deal. that's something that, you know, doesn't get talked about enough. but, you know, we have had the respect for cops, talk about sheriff like david clarke. i can tell you something, cops have been vilified, from instances around the country. cops need to be a unit where we all kind of back. we have to respect the law. not just with taking on the nfl and the kneeling. but also just backing them when it comes to funding or backing them when it comes to, you know, making sure that we are not presumed guilty but we're presumed innocent. and so that's what he has been doing. so i think the last thing he needs to do in 2018 is to make sure that new jersey we pump our own gas so pete's happy. pete: you are exactly right, eric. thank you. you are on the talking points. i love it fifth point is cutting taxes. happy new year. eric beach, thanks a lot. i appreciate it. rachel: thanks, eric. happy new year.

vehicle. rachel: last vehicle which i think might fit all of rachel's family. this is the ford expedition. it is all new. pete: is this 2018? pete: i own the 2017. >> >> this is the max. had excursion in the past. this is the full size expedition. it has massaging seats. heated seats. pete: massaging? >> yeah. literally everything. the car comes in about $70,000. you load it up you can really have an awesome vehicle. >> all the kids in here for sure? he pulled my hair. >> stop touching me. pete: more "fox & friends" on the other side.

the president tweeting i use social media not because i like to but because it is the only way to fight a very dishonest and unfair press. >> the lack of respect that they have for the office and the president of the united states is uncharted. this is the actual ball guys we have the best seat in the house all morning long. ♪ celebrate good times come on ♪ it's a celebration rachel: you can't play that song and not want to dance, come on. peter: should have had the camera on. rachel: i want to see peter dooc y dance. peter: not until midnight. pete: let's get a live view on peter doocy at midnight. countdown to 2018 if you had a

two demonstrators shot and killed overnight. peter: the nationwide anti- government rally turning more violent by the day as military forces vow to fight back. rachel: we are live in washington with more. garrett? reporter: good morning you all. these protests are growing spreading across the country for the last three nights thousands have taken not streets to protest their government and the state of their economy. last night, thousands of young people marched through the capitol city and clashed with police who tried to end the demonstration. you can see in this video posted on social media. some of those protesters throwing rocks and setting cars on fire. in a separate protest about 200 miles southwest, demonstrators cheered as they ripped down a sign of the country's supreme leader and later, set a government building on fire. two protesters were killed in those clashes with police and officials say at least 50 people have been arrested since thursday. the protests have been spreading in part thanks to videos being posted on social media; however

today, the iranian regime took steps to rack down on that by blocking access to instagram and the popular messaging app telegram which has been used to plan many demonstrations. telegram ceo confirmed the move this past hour on twitter saying iran authorities are blocking access to telegram for the majority of iranians after a republic refusal to shutdown an activist and other peacefully protesting channels. these new rounds of protest are the largest to hit the islamic republic since 2009 following the country's disputed presidential election and are a result of the struggling economy despite billions of dollars going into the country after the signing of the nuclear deal that economic activity has not done much to improve the lives " average iranians. back to you all. rachel: thank you garrett and these protests are the protests we saw in iran, the so-called green revolution in 2009 where president obama at the time took a very hands off approach as we

learned in an earlier segment and unusually hands off approach and our current president taking a opposed position to that actually tweeting about this current unrest saying "big protests in iran, the people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. looks like they will not take it any longer the u.s. is watching very closely for human rights violations." peter: and the thought is that these protests, the anger is economically driven. people are very upset that stuff costs more, that they don't have as much money. think though why in iran is that happening because there are harsh sanctions on them and why are there harsh sanctions? because the leaders there keep defying international law and so -- rachel: but you also have to believe also probably a little more than just the economy going

on. there's a lot of pent-up anger in iran over the way the crack down in 2009 and how anything retreated then. pete: in 1979, they promised a islamic use taupe yeah in iran and instead they've sent that country headed backwards in pursuit of nuclear weapons that has led the world to react against them and then they pass this iran deal a classic example of leaders saying everything will get better except inflation is up, price of goods are up, the lives of average iranians are worse and women well educated in that country they don't have any rights. you want to talk about an actual woman's march? forget them marching the day after inauguration with funny hats it's those women standing uptaking off the hijaj saying we will give into this no longer. i don't know if this is a revolution but at the very least it's a civil rights movement and for president trump there is a picture of a woman in a

prominent square in iran taking off her hijab, which was illegal is not any more but you'll get a class on islamic theology if you do that that's bravery in a public square and this president taking the lead is what american presidents should do. rachel: bringing up such a great point. this is the real women's movement really. this is the real front line. pete: liberals where are you on this one calling this one out seriously. it's a very serious point. rachel: great great point. peter: it's tough to tell exactly what it is because unlike 1979 there are no leaders of this movement. these protests are popping up in different places around iran not in the capitol but there's nobody in charge at least obviously. rachel: it's a social media revolution and a revolution being led by the people which is why i think it's so important that the president is highlight ing the iranian people in history. pete: absolutely. rachel: very different from the

obama administration. a fox news alert, breaking right now sheriff deputies in colorado shot at this morning. this happening near centennial south of denver. the sheriff's office confirms to fox & friends there have been shots fired at the deputies but they are not confirming any more information like what led to the gunfire. we will bring you more information as it becomes available. to another alert. a man is under arrest busted with an arsenal of weapons in a hotel room overlooking the new years celebration in houston. wow, police discovering guns and amunition at the downtown hyatt after finding him drunk at the hotel bar. police in new york city beefing up security hoping to stop threats just like that as 1 million people prepare to ring in the new year. snipers will be keeping watch from above as officers on the ground close off streets, check bags, and deploy bomb sniffing dogs. on the las vegas strip, where we have the massacre there a few

months ago snipers and the national guard will protect thousands of new years partyers, in addition to security concerns , millions are celebrat ing across the country, also dealing with extreme cold temperatures. expected to be 11 degrees at midnight in times square. the fire department will be on standby with extra medical support. that brutal cold is canceling new years celebrations in other places like portland, maine, rescheduling their lobster dip into the ocean for the first time in 30 years. pete: oh, come on. if you're doing a lobster dip go for it. people say where were you on december 31 of 2017? rachel: [laughter] peter: it was so frigid. rachel: you might not survive that dip in that temperature. pete: wimping out. peter: so president trump, we talked a little bit about his tweets on iran. he's been saying that he needs twitter not because he likes it but because it's the only way he can get his message out.

he's doing that again this new years eve. getting on the board last day of 2017 with this. why would smart voters want to put democrats in congress in 2018 election when their policies will totally kill the great wealth created during the month since the election? people are much better off now not to mention isis, va, judges, strong border, second amendment, tax cuts and more. pete: minutes before this is just a couple minutes ago minutes before that he tweeted if the dems crooked hillary got elected your stocks would be down 50% from values on election day and now they have a great future and just beginning so he's making a strong case that results are results and if you're a voter why would you turn to the democrats who haven't done anything for you. rachel: but if i was the president i would focus a little lesson the stock market and what's happening in the midwest with factory growing manufacturing growing with companies that are leaving overseas. pete: jobs and wages too. rachel: that's right. mining, energy jobs, i mean those are real jobs democrats often said we're leaving our

country for good. peter: whatever it is he's focusing on it's all 2017 stuff his first order of business in 2018 at the white house wednesday is a meeting with democrats about daca. pete: see what happens. well you have been tweeting us your favorite trump tweets of 2017 we shared ours. mine was about fake news and wiretapping. what were yours? well a tweet from john my favorite trump tweet was when he said he would never call little rocket man short and fat. rachel: that was great. you're right thanks for bringing that one back to us, [laughter] all right my favorite tweet is president trump talking about this new year being the coldest on record and that we could use a little bit more global warming pete: that was good a couple days ago a great one. peter: sandra says i love when the president tweets particularly when he sends people into a frenzy. one of my favorite is his new years tweet. pete: yes love on the new years tweet so his style only improving as the year goes on what will 2018 bring? we can only imagine keep your e-mails coming in we may play a few more favorite tweets friends

@fox news.com. meanwhile we're moving on to other news president trump about to beef up security at the border. our next guest says he's doing what he's doing is historic. the head of the national border patrol council weighs in next. peter: plus his city dealing with homeless crisis but apparently new york city mayor bill did reserves a raise. rachel: and this is live in times square with the ball that will drop in a matter of hours rick how you doing out there? you're an arizona boy. >> i know exactly, i shouldn't be here. it's just the camera guy and me everybody left. i'm going to keep the party going for a little while here it's me and the ball and the camera guy but we'll get more people up here. more to talk about in just a bit stay with us. maria is confident. but when it comes to mortgages,

she's less confident. fortunately, there's rocket mortgage by quicken loans. apply simply. understand fully. mortgage confidently.

g new cars. you're smart. you already knew that. but it's also great for finding the perfect used car. you'll see what a fair price is, and you can connect with a truecar certified dealer. now you're even smarter. this is truecar. rachel: president trump ramping up border security going into the new year. the administration is planning a january executive order to hire 5,000 new border patrol agents, so what exactly does this mean for those agents on the ground? let's ask one of them brandon ju dd is president of the national border council and joins us now welcome. and happy new year. >> thank you. you too, thank you very much.

rachel: okay, so you're saying that what he's doing is unprecedented, you haven't seen anything like this in 20 years explain. >> i've been a border patrol agent for 20 years and whether you go back to president clinton , george w. bush, and of course barack obama, we've never had a president who has put immigration on the forefront like this president has and this is something that he promised the american people, so if you're a voter you have to check that box off and say president trump has done exactly what he promised the american people that he was going to do and he continues to do that as he continues to push for more infrastructure on the border as he continues to push for more agents and let me tell you what i love about twitter and what i love about him getting out and talking to the people is the people get to see exactly what he's thinking when he's thinking it and why is that a bad thing? the people that they don't like that because they know that he's connecting with the american public and connecting with

border patrol agents and they love him for it. pete: you're right to that point also the evidence is in front of us illegal border crossings are down 24% since he's taken office now he's dedicated to building a wall. there is the statistics right there. the number of crossings that's without a wall. he wants to build a wall. tell us why that physical barrier is still important because in the military we were told that if you have an obstacle it's not effective unless you're over watching it as well. a combination of a wall and agents seems to be the right mix well you have to have the combination of infrastructure and agents. you know if you have the wall, and you have people that are crossing the wall if you don't have the agents to actually arrest them that wall isn't any good but what we've seen and you look at yuma, look at san diego, arizona, what we've seen is when we put you'll physical barriers and man those with the right number of agents we become extremely effective and those numbers those illegal crossings will go down even further and

the american public will notice that we don't have the crime and the problems we've had from illegal immigration that we've seen in the past and so again, what he's doing is historic and it's absolutely fantastic for the american people. rachel: so much of the talk about the border and the wall is about humans crossing and sort of the immigration problem that we've had over the last 20 years but i think one of the things that's not talked about enough and maybe you want to expand on that is drugs and crime. i live in the midwest. our communities are being devastated by drugs. how is that making a difference for the american people even if you aren't somebody who has a family member who is illegal? >> well crime is like water. it takes the path of least resistance. if we don't have the barriers that are necessary, the opioids are going to continue to flow into this country freely. all we have to do is look at big bend and a sector in texas where we have all of these crossings that are taking place because we've never put up any

infrastructure. if we really want to get tough on all of the crime that's coming across-the-boarder especially the drugs and opioids that are killing so many people today, we have to man that border the way it was supposed to be manned for years. we don't want the border to be a topic in 2020 again. it's always been month lit sized but what president trump is doing is actually getting out in front of the problem making a clear difference that everybody can see. peter: brandon judd, you and your fellow officers make a clear difference everyone can see every day. thank you for your service we appreciate it. rachel: happy new year. pete: well a new slap in the face for the efforts to calm tensions with north korea. the new evidence north korea's allies are fueling the fire ahead. rachel: and president trump shaking up washington in 2017. so what's going to happen in 2018? our next guest says nancy pelosi will be out and there will be another republican in the senate the other big predictions up

next, stay put.

pete: welcome back to fox & friends on this sunday new years eve. quick headlines for you, two las vegas security guards unfortunately shot and killed while working at a casino off the strip. the fatal shots fired while the pair was responding to a disturbance call inside a room in arizona's charlie. the suspect, 29 year old christopher logay was later found after he shot himself in the head. no good news here at all. he's not expected to survive his motive remains unclear. and a california city administrator is gunned down in

a resort city in mexico just one day before his 50th birthday. doug bradley was vacationing during christmas in the town of ixtafa. witnesses telling local media they saw bradley being chased by gunman. mexican officials claiming he was filled during an allege ed armed robbery. no good. peter over to you. peter: thanks pete. democrats and republicans alike saw their fair share of change in 2017 as president trump shook up washington during his first year in office so what's in-store for the second year? politics, parties, 2018 here it is political prediction for the new year gop councilman joe bore lli. >> good morning 2018 is going to be a big year. peter: well tell us why for the republicans? >> well i think the republicans are going to see good things. number one they end the year with one more center than they're starting with and go into 2018 with 51 seats and one

of them is definitely going to hear you're fired by their constituents. peter: very interesting. what about obamacare repeal do you think is going to change because we just saw the individual mandates stripped out as part of the tax bill. >> so that's the death nail for the program and the republicans have no choice but to act on it. they're going to have to put their big boy pants on and whether it's a full repeal or replacement that sounds like a repeal or legitimate repeal and replace they will do something about it. peter: on the other side of the aisle do you think the democrats have a credibility problem in 2018? >> right this is the mentality of we're all going to die over everything and we saw that with specifically this tax plan whether they are convincing us this is for the rich and big corporations. americans are going to see real dollars come february 50, 60, $100 in their bank accounts and realize everything the democrats have told them the last three months was for not. peter: 2018 is the year the democrats think they will campaign and then win back the house of representatives but you think if that happens nancy

pelosi will not be in charge? >> yeah, i don't think nancy pelosi will ever be speaker of the house again whether they win or they don't. we saw the writing on the wall with some of her members over the last year saying that she may not be the best thing for their parties branding and i think we're going to see that play out in 2018 regardless. peter: and 2018 as all these house and senate races are going on is when we would start to see maybe some prominent democrats going out in the closest races, democrats who might have their eyes on the white house in 2020, do you think we'll see the field of trump challengers grow or shrink? >> i do and i think it's good for the democrats that it happens. peter: get bigger or smaller? get smaller. anyone whose anyone right now in the democratic party is running for president and i think you'll see people like governor cuomo in new york get bashed by the right and left in his re- election battle and for good reason you'll have people younger maybe look at other options, have people older perhaps reconsider their plans. peter: so a mayor that most of america does not know you think

might be making some weight? >> yeah, certainly mayor deblasio is always going to be making waves. peter: overseeing everything in terms of the campaigning, tom perez, dnc chair how is he going to do? >> the disaster of 2017 is tom perez. he was supposed to be this unit er someone to bring together the obama wing, clinton wing of the party and a year later we have a party with no message, no unity and no money. it's over, tom. peter: well we can have you back next new years. joe borelli, thank you very much so this week nine children in colorado officially became u.s. citizens and this is one of them. here is incredible and patriotic message that this 10 year old proud american just shared with us and we are popping bottles on the plaza for the new year. the man known as the gladiator will try to break a world record live right here next and rick richmuth live in times square with the ball that will drop in

>> no this sword is dull. you can use a butter knife. anything you can find. rachel: i'm afraid of my kids watching this segment. >> you find the seem of the bottle and just slide it up. peter: you're aiming for the little notch? >> not trying to shop it just slide it. peter: and i want to try it. rachel: you do it. peter: i was told i'm not allowed to touch smart objects. >> come on rachel you could do it. rachel: no you're going to do it they want to see you. i'm going to do it with frank because it's so cold out i don't know what's going to happen. pete: so it would be 66 in a minute. peter: well 67 would be the record. pete: so we're going to put 60 seconds on the clock can we put it on right here there it is. right here okay? let me know when you're ready, sir. peter: we're going to start. pete: where you starting which end? rachel: all right, all right wow pete: you start wherever you

peter: time for your news by the numbers new years eve edition first, 1 billion that's how many people around the world will be watching the ball drop on tv. next, 3000, that's how many pounds of confetti we'll be dropping at midnight. confetti released from the roof tops of buildings throughout times square creating a celebratory blizzard and finally 50 tons that's roughly how much debris will be picked up during the massive cleanup after the new year's eve festivities. i've been there, they clear that place out good. rachel: and president trump predicting even more winning for 2018 and tweeting that jobs are kicking in & companies are coming back to the u.s.. unnecessary regulations and high taxes are being dramatically cut and it will only get better with much more to come welcome trish are. >> trish: hi guys happy new year

rachel: we also said the stock market added more than 6 trillion since he took office, unemployment hits a 17-year low and tell us what can we expect for the new year? >> trish: well it's certainly setting the stage for good things. rachel: sure is. >> trish: i have to tell you like many times throughout my career i've gotten nervous when the market starts to get at these high levels. there's nothing out there right now guys except for maybe perhaps on the geo-political front that would make you say i'm really nervous because the fundamentals for the first time in wow, like a decade, are improving. economic fundamentals are improving and by that i mean the job market wages are going up a little we need them to go up more but overall things are looking better so it's certainly setting the stage for a really good year. pete: right now, it's near 25,000 on the dow. do you think it could go higher but rachel made the point an important one that some people are impacted by the stock market but a lot of regular americans are not they're looking for jobs , wages, companies to come back. give us your predictions on both

fronts, stock market and jobs? >> trish: so i think the stock market could go significantly higher talking maybe 30,000 i'm hearing predictions of that on the dow by year-end and that's important, fueled by these tax cuts because basically they don't have to turnover as much money to the federal government and as a result they have better earnings which makes their price to earnings valuation that much better and that will send stock prices higher. you know, in terms of the overall economy i hear you because one of the most frustrating things i think about the market in the last say eight years is that while it gained, every day americans were really not benefiting from that in that they were struggling with jobs et cetera until we got increasingly into what i call an hour glass economy where the middle class is getting very squeezed and a lot of people falling into the bottom and you had this group on the top that was benefiting because they had capital, money, they could invest in the stock market but they didn't have money forget it interest rates were absolutely fueling it. rachel: but are real americans

going to see a wage increase? >> trish: i think there's a good chance. we've already seen a lot of companies saying okay we'll give you a bonus, up wages as a result of the tax cut so we just need a little more of that and there could be good things ahead peter: so trish is filling in today for maria bartiromo, sunday morning futures last show of 2017 with ron desantis, and marsha blackburn. what is the topic? >> trish: we'll talk more about that fbi situation. ron desantis is very outspoken he does not think robert mueller should be conducting this investigation because of the perception of bias among members of his team, so we'll get into that a little bit more. we will talk obviously about the economy, marsha blackburn has been a big advocate for entitle ment reform. can they get that done or does it turn to infrastructure because that would also help the economy so long as it's done right. rachel: sounds like a great show pete: thanks a lot. well from surfing to air balling dunk contests that's me, you
