straight to a fox news alert, an american soldier killed in afghanistan overnight, in an attack apparently by the taliban. >> the group claims they blew up an american convoy. the death marking the 20th u.s. soldier killed there this year. this comes weeks after the u.s. restarted peace a talks with the taliban to end the 18-year long war. a convicted felon is back behind bars in connection to a chaotic shooting that left 13 people wounded. marciano white is facing a felony gun charge. it's unclear if he's the shooter. the shooting stemmed from a dispute at a memorial party for a man killed in another shooting. >> terrible tragedy and, frankly, an incredible act of cowarcowardce.

>> 12 victims are in the hospital. >> a 13-year-old charged in if murder of a new york college student is due back in court today. he was ordered to stay in custody after his first appearance last week. he testified that he watched his friend stab tessa majors to death in a new york you city ne. the nypd are still searching for a 14-year-old. >> the family of heidi broussard is speaking out you ahead of tonight's vigil for the murdered texas mother. dna test results are expected any day to identify the newborn baby found at the home where broussard's body was discovered. aishah hasnie is joining us with more. >> reporter: heidi broussard's mom released a heart-breaking statement sunday. she writes, the family is overwhelmed with grief. we're getting through as a family. we're blessed with having many

of heidi's friends to help and the community has been wonderful with their support and kindness and we're grateful to them. the mother saying the family is focused on spending time with heidi's 6-year-old son. a vigil is set for tonight to remember the austin mother. family and friends have been in shock since her body was found strangled in the trunk of a car parked in houston on friday. a baby found alive and healthy is believed to be heidi's missing daughter. investigators expect dna results as early as today to confirm that piece of this. meantime, everyone grappling with the arrest of heidi's best friend of 20 years, magen fieramusca. she is charged with kidnapping and tampering with a corpse. the question today, why isn't she facing murder charges. fieramusca is the only person in custody.

authorities possibly could be collecting crucial evidence. they did say they are not ruling out any more charges. so we'll wait and see. back to you. >> it keeps getting worse and worse. thank you. >> to some extreme weather now, a christmas travel nightmare as a record number of people get ready to hit the roads and skies this busy holiday travel week. look at this. virginia, ice and fog being blamed for this massive pileup involving nearly 70 cars. more than 50 people hurt, some critically, in that chain reaction. one driver calling it a apocalyptic. in new york city, massive chunks of ice falling from two high rises closing several streets. police taking extra precautions after a woman was killed last week by falling debris. >> now, let's go live to the maps. we are tracking two new storms expected to bring rain and snow that could impact millions from the west to the southeast. please be careful out there. >> yikes.

trump, obstruction of congress and abuse of power. so far, democrats have delayed sending those articles from the house to the senate and that's left some republicans outraged. >> and now that he's been charged with two articles of impeachment, nancy pelosi is denying the president his day in court in the senate. >> once the house has spoken, the speaker doesn't get the decision as to whether or not she transmits that decision to the senate in my view. >> democrats say the delay is all about ensuring fairness. democrats want senate republicans to agree to allow at least four white house officials to testify in a senate trial. chuck schumer made the case for witnesses to testify publicly over the weekend. >> they might exxon ar exonerae president trump or they might further incriminate him. but the truth should come out on something as important as an impeachment. >> that was schumer yesterday

in new york. mitch mcconnell said it was up to the house, not the senate, to investigate and he doesn't see himself as an many impartial juror in the case. >> this is a political process. there's not anything judicial about it. the house made a partisan decision to impeach. i would anticipate we will have a largely partisan outcome in the senate. >> reporter: both senate leaders met face-to-face last week to discuss options for the trial but no final decisions have been made. we'll look to see if progress is made before lawmakers return back to dc in january. back to you guys. >> everyone's standing their ground. thanks, mark. >> you didn't think this would be done, did you? ken starr says nancy pelosi isn't just slow walking a senate trial. >> he says pelosi is actually taking power away from congress with her handling of this impeachment process. >> it is a lesson, and a nasty lesson in how not to do impeachment. it's an example of raw power

being exercised and the constitution vests sole power on the house of representatives. she seized power that i think belonged to the house of representatives as a body, all 435 or 431, a few absentee folks these days. she sees power on september 24th. without a debate in the house -- the house is supposed to be a deliberating body. that's what the rules are designed to promote, orderly, procedurally, sensible decision making. she just said here it is. >> if and when impeachment moves to the senate, democrats would need 22 republicans to cross party lines in order to remove the president from office. >> carley walked in today, she said i love football highlights. here we go. chiefs crush the bears, 26-3. >> michael thomas made history

while helping his team win on the road. >> to the left, looking his way and there it is, a new nfl record. >> p thomas breaking the single season catch record with 145 as new orleans beat the titans, 38-28. >> the ravens clinching the afc top seed in their 31-15 win over the browns. >> the cardinals upsed the seahawks, 27-13. >> the eagles are in first place in the nfc east after topping the cowboys 17-9, et setting up an important game this week. the eagles versus the giants. >> i wonder who is going to win that one. >> gillian and i don't own the teams, we should make that clear. >> the white house says the democrats' impeachment push is meritless.

>> i'm confident this position is untenable. there is no way she can hold this position. >> wh .>> why our next guest s this a brazen attempt to steal the election. >> billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. >> it was a day we all learned what a wine cave was. elizabeth warren yoelse you -- u attacking pete buttigieg over a wine cave. what has some people calling her a hypocrite this monday morning. ♪ red, red wine. ♪ when we started our business

today is unacceptable and unconstitutional. she will eventually have to name managers and send this to the senate. carley: the white house and top republicans are blasting nancy pelosi as she brings impeachment to the halt. todd: how will that impact democrats next year. joining us now is jason meister. what is nancy pelosi's strategy here? >> i think this is proof that nancy pelosi has no faith in these articles of impeachment. i think she's very petrified of this actually being tried by the republicans in the senate because she knows the be president's going to be acquitted and he's going to be exonerated. if you think about it, the house democrats have made the case for months that there was crimes, high crimes and misdemeanors. they started out with quid pro quo, they went to bribery and extortion and they came up with nothing. i thinks that's what you're seeing playing out and why she's holding these articles. carley: we have new reaction

from the president overnight. he tweeted crazy nancy wants ptotic tate terms on the impeachment hoax to the republican t senate. no lawyers or witnesses on the democrat majority house. the dems just wish it could all end. their case is dead. their poll numbers are horrendous. similar to what you were saying. but democrats are saying that this is all police out pretty much in the same way that the clinton impeachment did because he was impeached on the 19th and then the articles went over to the senate on the sixth. there was a delay there as well. >> in the nixon and clinton impeachment you had specific climbs. here, you have absolutely no crimes that have been articulated by the democrats. this whole thing is a sham and it's terrible what's happening to this country. this was a phone call between two presidents. there was clearly no crime that occurred and you've seen democrats have been doing this for three years. you saw what they did with spying in that previous administration. we see that now in the ig

horowitz report and the conclusion that's came out, the tremendous fisa abuse. you saw that you had two years of a mueller investigation that showed no collusion. and so it's just -- it's really a terrible precedent that the democrats set this country on. todd: where's the urgency that was so much a part of the house originally. >> that's a great point. todd: now there's no urgency anymore. >> this was six weeks and now she's holding the articles of impeachment. it just shows you -- todd: do you think new witnesses and new documents, that nancy pelosi is trying to lead the senate down, do you think that's their only way of trying to reverse the current polling on impeachment which quite frankly is trending in the president's direction? >> that's right. especially among independents and swing voters. i don't think it will help them. i think it will only hurt them. i think when the president released that transcript of that

july 25th phone call with president zelensky he sunk their battle ship. this president has out-maneuvered the democrats throughout his entire presidency. when he released that transcript, i don't think any democrat realized how quickly he sunk that impeachment battle ship. carley: we'll see what happens when they get back from their holiday. i'm sure it's not going to be brett. todd: time now, 18 minutes after the hour. americans spending billions of dollars on christmas shopping while fewer of them are spending time on religion. carley: pastor robert jeffers is here to share a message about the true meaning of christmas. ♪ wonderful christmas time. ♪ a wonderful christmas time. ♪

todd: nearly 200 evidence anally cal200 faith leaderscond. in a letter, the editor in chief of christianity today defending his editor l y'aldefendinghis e. >> i'm making a judgment, it's his public morality that makes him unfit. >> president trump tweeted, the fact is the president has never done what i done for evangelicals or religion itself. carley: for the first time in 200 years there will not be a christmas mass at paris' notre dame cathedral. services have been held there every year since the french revolution. a fire destroyed much of the

in all of the political talk that we're engaged in right now. but you know, 2,000 years ago the world was fix yo fixated on politics. they were talking about what the emperor of rome had done, and a new tax is a bill. little did anyone know, the order would cause a couple to travel to a little village he never heard of to give birth to the savior of the world, he jesus christ. most of our audience can't even name that emperor, octavian but all of us know the name of the baby, jesus. when we type of write the year 2019, we're acknowledging it's been 2,019 years since the most important event in human history, the birth of jesus christ. and that's what christmas is all about. todd: i want to look at some numbers with you. the question was asked, this is back in 2017, so you have to

imagine it's grown even more expanded here, do you see christmas as a religious l holiday. boomers, 52%. millennials, 32%. like i just said, i expect that to be even a bigger spread now. what are we missing when we fail to he seto he see christmas as a religious holiday. >> what we're failing to do is to acknowledge perhaps the most important truth of all, and that is that god loves us. you know, paul asked the question in romance 8 if god before us -- romans 8, if god before us, then who against us. with all the turmoil in our lives, there is a god in heaven and that he loves us, that's what christmas is, it's a demonstration of god's love. somebody said if man's greatest need was for money, would have sent an economist, if our greatest need was education, god

would have sent a teacher. our greatest need is forgiveness, that's why god sent a shepherd. he gives you great news for all people, unto you is born a savior who is christ the lord. and the people who miss that, miss the greatest gift of all, god's gift of forgiveness. carley: that's so true. this time of year can be so stressful for so many people. it's good to remember the real meaning of the holiday. pastor, thank you so much for bringing they to us. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. carley: merry christmas. it's 26 minutes after the hour. jeff van drew opening you up about his decision to leave the democratic party. >> the final sign for me, when the county chairman came t me ad said i need to speak with you. i want to let you know, you have to vote for impeachment. carley: why he calls impeachment a dangerous tool. >> i could go either way.

up, blew the doors of the church open and they heard sleigh bells. and all the children turned around and said santa claus. and it's been santa claus, indiana ever since. todd: basically, the name, santa claus indiana, started because of mail. >> mail, yes. todd: we're at the original santa claus post office. time to write my christmas list for the big guy. dear santa -- your friend, todd. how many letters per year do you receive? >> between 20 and 25,000. todd: i've got mine here. can i mail this one. >> ring the bell so the elves know. todd: what is this place? >> santa's candy castle is the first part of the candy land section of the santa claus town attraction. we believe the board game was based on this attraction. >> i present to you the world's

um, think about who comes to that. billionaires in wine caves should not pick the next president of the united states. todd: okay. but she's not one to talk, hosting her own fundraiser that is at a boston winery last year. the tickets cost nearly $700, $100 less than buttigieg's tickets for the fundraiser at the california winery with the wine cave last week. carley: it will be interesting to see what that does to her poll numbers. this comes as the indiana mayor lands a home run endorsement from the star of field of dreams. actor kevi kevin costner announg his support for the front runner in iowa. >> i came out to tell you who i'm voting for. i guess it's no real mystery now. that cat's kind of out of the bag. carley: not to be outdon, earn

trump appointees are in the 40s. with obama, the average age was in the 50s. the judges will have an immense effect going forward. todd: pointing out the numbers, take a look at ki circuit court consistencircuit courtnominatio. look at the overall number of federal judge confirmations, trump, 187, easily beating the previous three presidents. from a policy perspective, from a subject matter perspective, what are you expecting to see different as a result of these judges being confirmed? >> i think the republican mindset is not to appoint conservative justices. i don't like the dichotomy of liberal and conservative judges. republicans are more likely to

appoint judges that will follow the written document of the constitution as the framers intended not as how we interpret it in the modern age. todd: along those lines which subject matters do you feel will be interpreted more to the letter of the constitution than they currently are being, things like abortion, guns, do those two ? >> the second amendment is sacrosanct. we're seeing a change in how we look at freedom of speech. it's incumbent to protect our first amendment rights. carley: one of the big complaints among conservatives is the courts have been weaponized by the left. that's one of the things the president talks about on the campaign trail and why he's made the judiciary such a big focus of his presidency. do you agree with that assessment? >> you know, like i said before, i'm not a big fan of the dichotomy of liberal and conservative justices. we have justice that's are trump

appointees, clinton and obama appointees. there's no too difference in how they -- not too much difference in how the rule. todd: what do you see in terms of 2020 in terms of federal judges and dare i say potentially a possible supreme court opening. >> you've got ruth bader ginsburg and briar sitting on the courts 86 years old. rbg has had health problems as of late. if trump gets another term it will be miraculous to see a supreme court justice sitting at 90 years old. carley: how do you figure the ninth circuit, with saying some are considered conservative, some are considered democratic, how causes go to the ninth circuit. >> it's one of the more activist circuits on the board.

it seems to tilt wildly liberal. he appointed new appointees to that circuit. we'll see that maybe start to moderate itself. carley: it's 45 minutes after the hour. since 2003, operation gratitude has shown support for deployed service members, sending more than 1.5 million care packages around the globe. but that effort ramps up around the holidays and now they need your help. todd: operation's gratitude's coo joins us next, to share his own story and how you can get involved. ♪ mom, why do we always come here for the holidays? how did you find great-grandma's recipe? we're related to them? we're portuguese? i thought we were hungarian? grandpa, can you tell me the story again?

at christmas, he had four children. it it was their first time being away from each other. he sent a note, saying this care package means the world. for me personally, it had a huge impact. what he said was, it brought joy to an otherwise lonely heart. he said i've never been more proud to be an american service member. carley: that must mean the world to you. let's take a look at the care package and explain what the service members get. >> we get great donations from corporate sponsors and individual americans who want to do great things. those americans care about this country. they love this country and care about their service members many we got more than just what goes in the care package is the love that goes into them. this is a hand made scarf. we have people all across the country that make these. this woman, carol from pens environmenpennsylvania, she mads scarf and put a note in here that said hand made love.
