for the season. today here in new york city right now, we have got 36, going for a daytime high of 43. and before we had a christmas tree, we used to do a christmas special in one of the studios of "fox & friends" would always do it. and this group, pentatonix sang this song i would say three times in a row. >> ainsley: i was so fortunate i got to hear that live. they don't have instruments. steve no, a cappella. >> ainsley: they sing all the sounds. someone sounds like a drum. someone that sounds like a bell. [laughter] >> brian: yes, a snare drum. >> steve: anyway, merry christmas, everybody. are. >> ainsley: december 1st. we are in the spirit this morning. >> brian: right. [bells] >> ainsley: you sound convincing. >> brian: that means a whole lot of shopping. [sigh] >> brian: yeah, because i'm not good at it. >> steve: you have got to do the deal that i have got. my wife bought the presents for all the kids. and their husbands and wives.

and all i have to do is buy for kathy. and my daughter sally figures out what kathy wants, sally tells me. i say sally, order that and then on christmas morning when kathy opens her presents, that's the first time i have seen the presents i have given her. >> ainsley: you appreciate the women in your life. >> steve: sally is a gift to me show is able to do my grocery stopping. brian, you have kids, have the kids do it. >> brian: you haven't mentioned the key component to this and that's santa. i don't know what you are talking about. your system is a little bit above me. >> ainsley: kathy talks to santa and santa delivers the gifts. come on. >> brian: this is a big children's hour. >> ainsley: we know dawn does all your shopping when we get our gifts it says love dawn. >> brian: it's not true. >> ainsley: it is so true. i should have saved that card. that was two years ago. >> steve: i think that's funny, brian. you say this is the children's hour given what ainsley just told us about her daughter

saying goodbye today. >> ainsley: my daughter said i was walking out of the door she says can i walk you out, momma? why do you have to go to work today? it's early in the morning, no one is watching tv this early. >> ainsley: i said, honey, we have a lot of viewers. >> brian: todd piro took that personally. 5:00. >> brian: three 3 minutes after the hour. the "new york post" admitted. >> the "new york times" admitted it. anybody else admitting that the hunter biden story should not have been sheffield than was actually real that the "new york post" account should not have suspended and everybody else that retweeted it? should we just admit that? one by one people are admitting it. why now? >> steve: well, maybe it is because something is going to be happening with the hunter biden investigation. >> who knows, maybe he will wind out getting indicted, whatever, anyway, people all across the media landscape admitting it. remember, it was a couple days ago that elon musk said he would be revealing whatever happened

behind the scenes at twitter. >> ainsley: why they decided to censor it. >> steve: the person who used to be the head of trust and city at twitter is one of the actually people who did the deciding, key to deciding whether or not that story should be kept from the public. he sat down with kara swisher. and during a podcast. and the video is going to be released tomorrow. he essentially admitted, yeah, we blew it. we should not have cracked down. he said we didn't know what to believe. we didn't know what was true. >> brian: come on. >> steve: there was smoke and ultimately for me it didn't reach a place. he is deflecting right here. where i was comfortable removing this content from twitter it. it set off one of my finely tuned apt 28 hack and leak campaign alarm bells. what that means is that's alternative name for the russian cybercrime fancy bear. so, in other words, it looked to him like it was russian disinformation. even though it was not.

>> ainsley: he said despite concerns of authenticity, he didn't want to remove the story. the decision to censor the story on twitter was not up to him. he did plan to meet with the now defunct dhs disinformation governance board. remember, headed by mary poppins? both ross and facebook ceo said they were approached by the fbi before the 2020 election, warning the platforms and foreign propaganda and misinformation. also, we questioned the timing of this. remember when they censored it? right before the election. >> brian: this is pretty unbelievable. and some people are taking offense to white house press secretary saying we are looking into it. the president's concerned about elon musk. why concerned about someone taking over a social media device, an app., that has impact and it is a guy that really is apolitical because all over the spectrum. already done legitimate business with the government, with spex. why is everyone concerned?

because they are ripping the cover off. from what can i see right now there was election interference. the obvious reality is long-time users know is that twitter has failed in trust and safety for a very long time and has interfered in elections. twitter 2.0 will be far more effective, transparent and even-handed. why does that bother so many people. >> ainsley: that's the question why is everyone so scared of elon musk? this is a guy who voted for joe biden. now he is saying he would endorse ron desantis. is he not necessarily a democrat or a republican. he just votes the way he sees it. he seems to be more in the middle and seems to be fair. he just is for free speech. why is the white house so afraid of free speech? >> steve: it's not just the white house. it's everybody on the political left for the most part because it's their monopoly of thought is broken with elon musk. iis saying hey, twitter is takig our thumb off. we are just going to let people say what they mean, apparently some sort of content moderation, we don't know what that is going to be. that's why some people have

freaked out. nonetheless, a couple of days ago from the podium. karine jean-pierre said that the white house is going to keep an eye on twitter which is very orwellian. so, if they have got a problem with twitter, that had our white house correspondent yesterday ask a really good question about the white house and the relationship with twitter. >> when are you guys going to delete the white house twitter account? >> why would we do that? >> pete: you are saying you are keep an eye on twitter because it night not be a suitable platform so why use it. >> look, i want to be very clear here. the president has always said and he has been very, very clear in his belief that it is important social media platforms to continue to take steps to reduce hate speech and misinformation. and he will continue to say that but, media platforms make independent choices about their information that they present. and so, look, i don't have anything to share on any policy

or any changes that we will be making. we have multiple platforms, as you know, that we utilize to communicate with the american people. >> steve: not pull the plug on twitter at the white house because they need twitter. they want to get their word out. the president, his personal or his potus account last night tweeted out a picture of him and macron having dinner in georgetown. they need twitter. because it is an easy way to get the word out. and that's the problem. for the left. now is going to be easy for people on the other side of the political i'l aisle to get the d out. >> brian: use truth social. >> ainsley: tell the white house correspondent to suggest that to them. >> steve: he was cut short yesterday. he was going to mention truth social. one other thing, you know, elon musk yesterday we were talking about twitter and apple, elon musk had said that apple was considering removing twitter from the app. store.

they dropped their ads. elon musk tweeted out why is apple against free speech? well, yesterday, elon musk sat down with tim allen, tim apple, rather. [laughter] >> steve: i was thinking of the guy from the movie. he met with the apple ceo tim cook. and then elon musk tweeted out apple never considered removing twitter from the app. store. and apple actually has increased their ad spending. so the stuff that he had tweeted the other day, not accurate. >> brian: they have lost some major advertising revenue and those companies have admitted it, g.m., jeep and others. they say they are still tweeting but they are not putting as much money. in and maybe he is going to have a subscriber fee instead of an ad fee. >> ainsley: democrats, obviously they were able to control some of these social media sites. they were run by democrats. they are run by the progressives until elon musk bought twitter. they had so much control. and tulsi gabbard who used to be

a democrat, left the party. i guess now she is an independent. she is not a republican. she says they are just upset because they no longer have that control. listen. >> before musk bought twitter i don't recall hearing anybody from the biden administration or tthe washington establishment or the eu complaining how dangerous twitter is or how it poses a threat to our democracy, which really just shows they don't care about free speech. they don't care about democracy. the reason why they are so concerned, so afraid and upset right now is because they no longer can control twitter. they can no longer use this platform as their propaganda arm to silence voices they don't like and to push out the narrative that they want to push out. and so that really is what is the crux of the issue here. and the biden administration is showing exactly how autocratic and dictatorial they really are. >> brian: should be very interesting to see who else comes out admits the hunter biden laptop is real.

admit what they're about to unwrap and unwrafl on twitter. >> ainsley: thank goodness for elon though. he is so wealthy he had this money to buy this platform. so many people would love to have a free speech platform and make sure both sides are heard. they can't afford it. so he swoops in. he sees what is happening at twitter. he buys it. >> steve: he is able to do what congress could not do in the investigation. >> brian: do you know what else is interesting he? came out and said way too much. they shouldn't be -- apple should be taking 30% of revenue from my app. it should not cost that much. guess who else said that? mark zuckerberg said you know it will when i think about it apple has way too much control over the app. store. now all of a sudden there is a rippling noise coming from silicon valley about apple, which is exactly what elon musk was saying. now, other people are saying, yeah, it's not right that they have that much. because apple decides really whether you are going to be successful or not. >> ainsley: it's a monopoly. >> steve: well, plus google as well. if you want -- look, yesterday,

elon musk addressed that and said that bhot testimony companies need each other. ultimately though, apple is going to take a fee for putting things on their store. you know, if you had a store, wouldn't you want a cut? they are taking 30% right now. although maybe yesterday elon was able to negotiate it down into the 20's. >> ainsley: maybe. so. >> steve: that's how he rolls. >> ainsley: troubling admission in the investigation surrounding the murders of his four i'd do who he college students. we have a live report coming up next. >> steve: plus, congress is walk working to avoid a rail strike ahead the holidays. the latest offer on the table straight ahead. you are watching "fox & friends" on this first day of december. look who is going to be on the show later this morning ♪ ♪ i even walking was tough. i had to do something. i started cosentyx®.

miscommunication. police confirmed they are making progress as they begin receiving results from forensic testing being donte crime lab. although they are not yet revealing any details about d.n.a. found at the scene. we're also learning the two sports whisororities which the o on prohibition for health and safety reasons. which refer to violations of risk management, alcohol or hazing. now, also yesterday, we heard some very touching tributes from the parents of the slain college students speaking out at a candlelight vigil it remember the victims. here's the mother of ethan chapin. >> we are eternally grapeful that we spent so much time with him. and i want to remind you that that's the most important message that we have for you and your families. is to make sure that you spend as much time as possible with those people because time is precious and it's something you

can't get back madison speaking out how proud he was of his daughter. >> trying to get to know someone the first thing i would say well,. >> i have this daughter and here is a picture of her. she is on at the dean's list at college and she works hard and she has all these great friends in the sorority. i would tell them all about maddy. >> and kayleeing con sastles dad giving daughter and friend's long friendship. >> went to high school together. started looking at colleges. came here together. they got into the same apartment together from the end they died together in the same room in the same bed. like some kind of terrible chapter. there is beauty in it and we are going to get four weeks since

stabbed to death in their bed no. murder weapon. palpable sense of fear and unrest in small college town. and, guys, how brave were those parents to speak out and so composed like that was really unbelievable. >> steve: they were. they have had a couple weeks to process it but still you could feel the heart broken throughout that entire. >> ainsley: thanksgiving was hard for them and facing christmas. >> brian: whole investigation is busted. you hope they were keeping their cards. thanks, anit attachment hoping they were keeping their cards to themselves but it doesn't look like it. interested to see the private investigator hot family has hired said he had revelations and asked him to hold back those revelations. i'm thinking to myself if no one is telling us anything and they are backing off their original claim, why can't we know more? couldn't -- why couldn't be that aid the investigation? >> ainsley: they did say they received the results of the forensic testing of the crime lab.

some take longer than others. and then they declined to comment on whether d.n.a. if they found d.n.a., if it belonged to the four victims. the two surviving roommates or someone that's might have been in the how fast that did this. >> we heard from the parents who have said we wish that they would reveal to us the police would reveal to us what they know. the father right there. steven con valves said died in the same bed as her friend maddy. that was a revelation. it was previously thought the girls were in separate rooms. but apparently they were in the same room in the same bed. and you have got wonder why the investigators said at the get-go that they if felt that the residents or somebody in house was targeted. >> and they changed their mind. >> steve: eventually. after a prosecutor went on television yesterday and said they were targeted. you have got to figure what happened is they were trying to calm people down. it's like we don't want you to

think that there is a killer loose but there's a killer loose. >> brian: you can't give disinformation to calm people down. >> steve: i'm telling you, it's not accurate. >> ainsley: maybe there was some reason they thought it was targeted. then they realized maybe not after more investigators came in. who knows? we don't know. i mean, that's the thing about this, they are not giving us much information. >> steve: i think it was probably somebody's gut. it just looks like somebody was targeted and that became what we said but now they say we don't know. >> brian: 23 minutes now after the hour. carley shimkus you have the news. >> carley: yesterday the house voting to avert a nationwide rail strike which would devastate the economy and supply chain ahead of the holidays. the chamber left of center passing a bill which provides seven paid six days to railroad workers. the clock is ticking on the bill now as it heads to the senate for a vote. just about one week from the december 9th deadline. that's when rail workers would strike if congress failed to pass legislation.

a federal appeals court rejecting a request to rei object state president biden's student loan bailout. the program, which aims to forgive $10,000 in federal student debt per borrower was put on hold by a lower district court in texas. prior to yesterday's ruling, the justice department said it would ask the supreme court to intervene if its appeal was denied. it's one of two decisions preventing the education department from moving forward with the $400 billion plan. and the former ftx ceo speaking out for the first time since the crypto currency company imlapsd. bankman freeland denied any criminal wrongdoing but he does say the company failed to safeguard investor funds. >> testified, i was ceo of ftx and that means whatever happened, why ever it happened, i had a duty. i had a duty to all of our stakeholders, to our customers to do right by them to make sure of the right things happened to the company and apparently i

didn't do a good job of that. >> carley: messed up big time he said. $1 billion is missing from ftx another 10 billion was donated to sister company al met dough research. he denies co-mingling funds. and stevie nicks is sharing a touching tribute to fleetwood mac band made who died yesterday. knicks taking to instagram tweeting she was truly one of a kind, special and talented beyond measure. she was the best musician anyone could have in their band. and the best front anyone could have in their knife. mcvie was the writer of smash hits like little lies and don't stop. her family says she died from ha short-term illness. christine mcvie was 79 years old. and what an incredible voice. and the legacy she has. >> ainsley: songs with you forever. >> steve: fantastic life. thank you, carley. >> ainsley: today president joe biden is hosting french

be. >> brian: today president biden set toe host french president macron at the white house. comes a day after macron spoke

against climate incentives in biden's inflation bill. telling lawmakers this is super aggressive for our business people. also yesterday biden appearing to cast doubt on a run for 2024. listen. >> as my grandfather fen grin would say that's the irish of it. thank you very much. >> thanks. >> fox news contributor and former utah congressman jason chaffetz joins us now. what do you think it's a castaway line. four more years i don't know about that. do you think that matters? >> i think most people think he is not going to run in 2024. i looked at the democrats. they are being so nice to him. gavin newsom who wakes up every morning and looks in the mirror and says good morning, mr. president. i think he can't wait to run. i think hillary clinton is in that mix and says hey, i want to run. and everybody has been super nice to team joe biden. but, we'll see. i don't know if he can get through this term. the nextel prompter read for him i don't know that he can get

through. he is weak. he is feeble. everybody knows it. and i i think he is real doubtfl for '24. >> brian: if this was november 1st. i would say congressman, you are right. but after the mid terms, shall stemming a massive red wave they think to themselves we have got something here. >> yeah, well i think they feel like they pushed back away. they put up a sea wall. they did some things. but i don't think he is the aggressive leader. look at the rail strike, right? hey, i got this. he signed it. now he just hands it over to congress because he can't get it done. i think there are a lot of people that just think he is physically not capable to get through the job for another four years. he just turned 80. >> brian: axios said this story that they have a way to run him and that's make him a statesman and have this fundraisers in delaware and let everybody else do the campaigning. we will see if that works. >> that's what he did last time he buried himself in the basement. >> brian: talk about what president macron said. keep in mind, this is a

president that got dissed right away when that nuclear subdeal blew up with australia and he broke off reels with us temporarily recalled the ambassador. so mr. experienced president with the former chairman of foreign relations blew that up. and now he comes out after the inflation reduction act and says way too aggressive. bits is not ready for what you just passed joe biden. >> it was hundreds of billions of dollars. there is $300 billion set aside for mr. podesta to control the handout in terms of these climate initiatives. look, i think it's too super progressive. i think it's no mystery other countries think it's super aggressive. far too much. good that the world leaders sit down, have these discussions. talk it out. i think it's a good thing that the presidents are meeting. >> brian: the thing is it effects them directly. if we were mackenzie mizeing oil and gas. you could supplement and replace what russia is not giving anymore. so he is saying at a time in when which you are asking everybody to go war and we

should con more than us. can you do what you have in the ground. instead, you went the other direction at a time of greatest need where's the logic. >> could i woman back to the same two topics. inflation, when we have rapid inflation, the whole rest of the world has and it energy. when we don't produce energy, guess what in the rest of the world has to look elsewhere. and in france, they there are roughly 80% nuclear. we're not as good at developing nuclear technology as we should. and, but when we are produced the liquid natural gas. when we aren't able to do these other things, the reps of the world who looks to a leader, they suffer. we suffer as the american people but certainly does. >> one thing we better not suffer is saturday at 10:00. big soccer guy. your dad was with the aztecs. with the nasl. are you predicting victory against the netherlands? >> i love the victory of this u.s. team. they have so much energy.

they seem to want it more than anybody else. i think they can pull it off. >> i believe that, jason, you are 100 percent right. okay? i didn't agree on first topic but i agree on the conclusion. >> i will take it. >> brian: we will see jason in the hall and at the christmas party. straight ahead, disney bob iger sharing a new vision of his company steer legal of culture wars. two fired during the pandemic react next. i know all those people. i met them once ♪ it will be ♪ it will be ♪ baby just let it be ♪ ride with me ♪ ride with me ♪ see where this thing goes ♪ it's because in dreams, you can do anything. in dreams... you can hold your entire world in the palm of your hand. and turn time inside out... again and again. and you can do it all with your eyes wide open.

♪ do i like the company being embroiled in controversy? , not. it can be distracting. and it can have a negative impact on the company. and to the extent that i can work to quiet things down, i'm going to do it. >> steve: all right. newly reinstalled disney ceo bob iger telling employees earlier

he wants to quiet down the culture wars in the next phase of his leadership running disney. let's bring in former disney employees barbara andreas and steven crit. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> good morning thank you for having us. >> barbara you worked disney 17 years. you left the company like their masking policies with covid. what do you make though of bob iger who ran it for a long time and now has come back in the wake of all that trouble the company got in when the last ceo weighedwaded into the culture w. >> i think it's interesting. if bob iger is truly seeking reform with the company, he should be acknowledging the treatment of the cast members this entire past two years. in the recent town hall he speaks about diversity and inclusion. these are things that cast members have always embodied. we have always lived by that it's our leadership that has failed. leadership that was under him

ben chapek and now back to him. is he failing to apologize for how he treated those of you was with christian faith. he called will disdain for opposing views. but where was this respect when the cast were fired for not receiving an experimental vaccine. where was the respect for both of us who had multiple interrogation calls from hr over and over and over to express our faith and why this faith goes against. this where was the respect when i was fired in march and treated like a criminal, locked in my car after 21 years of service. all because disney refused to acknowledge my belief against this mandate. owe he is us an apology. >> steve: steven, you left the company and it was over the vaccine. you didn't want to get it. you asked for religious exemption. it was denied by your h.r. department. what do you make though of, you know, you look at the last guy, chapek, who ran it for less than a year, you know, with big companies, you don't want to anger half the population by

taking a political stance but they, you know, they -- the company got woke. and then when asked about the florida, you know, parental rights in education act, passed by the florida legislature, they were very critical. shouldn't a big company like disney stay out of politics? >> thank you, steve. yes, absolutely. they should. and as barb just pointed out that's the part we don't understand. like her, i was fired back in march as well because of the mandates that they rolled out. the unfair treatment of cast members requiring those of us that refused to get the shot because of our faith to wear and have things on our person that were different than what other cast members did that did get the shot had to wear. so this is all as barbie was just mentioning very confusing for those of us like myself who worked for nine years for the company. or sorry, 11 years, nine of that

was in leadership. i was elected the award winner. i worked on the disney cruise line. both barbie and i were will cast members who followed respect for those we worked with it was obviously a very confusing time for us. and when disney started going down this road into iger now being in charge, i have a friend i will put it this way, is rearranging chairs on the deck of the titanic. iger was still very much a lot of company which when decisions were made still executive chairman until december of last year. so he was very much a part of disney jumping into those culture wars to speak to the parental rights and education bill. i'm so glad you called it that. everybody called it the don't say gay bill. that word is not in it myself. i read the bill myself nine times, this again goes to show why the company would feel like it needs to get involved in all of this.
