"fox & friends" starts right now. >> todd: bye-bye. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ you make everyday feel like christmas ♪ merry christmas ♪ never want to stop ♪ birthday wish list ♪ >> ainsley: so ainsley is supposed to start the 6:00 a.m. hour.

but because i'm trying to be a team player i will toss to brian. >> brian: no i will p peak at 7:00. get one christmas tree and get this pullout. >> ainsley: the beach boys are going to sing for us today and john stamos. coming this week. >> steve: we are listening to the jonas brothers, true story about 15 years ago, when the jonas brothers were just kids who lived. >> ainsley: in new jersey, right? >> steve: they wound up putting a disk in my mailbox of their christmas songs. they said hey, could we get on "fox & friends"? and i gave it to the producer. >> ainsley: did we bring them on? >> steve: we did not. doggone it. [sighs] >> ainsley: sorry jonas brothers you are invited at any time. >> steve: they talked about that in their special on netflix. >> ainsley: did they say steve doocy. >> steve: talking about how they

ambulanced out their christmas album to everybody and they didn't get many people to pick it up but eventually they became the jonas brothers. >> ainsley: that's what we do when i was in journalism school and tapes on my bed and said a prayer over all of them. god, please allow the tapes get in the right hands. i got one call. one call and that's all it took. >> brian: reverse peter and the fish thick. make more. you had a lot of tapes you only got one fish. >> ainsley: i had a lot of fish but enough to feed me. enough leftover. >> brian: everything goes back to the bible. >> ainsley: i'm glad you gave that reference pretty impressive. >> brian: two minutes now after the top of hour. i don't know if you heard but twitter was bought by elon musk i also don't know if you heard over the last few days a release of internal documents that showed what went into the shelving of the "new york post" story. and then this revelation came forward, which is outstanding on some levels. came forward that matt taibbi and bari weiss, when they wanted to get the second tranche of

documents and move forward on the story there began to be hinderances and hurdles to scale. parry weiss, according to matt taibbi was able to figure out what was behind the blocks 12r5e6 steve they are wondering what's the delay? why can't we get more? bari weiss asked who is handling the vetting. they said a guy named jim. she said jim who? and it came back later jim baker. that's the guy on the cover of the "new york post" today. >> ainsley: that's when barry said my jaw hit the floor. >> steve: matt taibbi said that my jaw hit the floor. baker general counsel under the fbi's james comey controversial figure. he worked with the fbi strzok and paige. left the bureau in 2017 or 2018. and at one point he was under criminal investigation for allegedly leaking materials to reporters. so then he was hired at twitter in june of 2020, just about a

month after twitter generated controversy for labeling two trump tweets will toledo rigged elections. they said that was promoting misinformation. so that was about the time he got hired at twitter as deputy general counsel. and so he is the guy who was in on this determination whether or not to censor stuff at twitter. but he was left in charge of vetting the stuff elon musk didn't realize that guy was still there. >> ainsley: elon musk fired him yesterday in concerns about possible role in suppression. tiberiasy tweeted this out on friday the first installment of the twitter files was here. we expected to publish more over the weekend. many wondered why is there is a delay? we can now tell you part of the reason why, on twitter twitter deputy counsel and former fbi general counsel jim baker was

fired. among the reasons? vetting the first batch of twitter files without knowledge of new management. and then he goes on to say reporters assumed searches through twitter files materials a lot of it today we can expect that, he said the next installment of the twitter files will appear at bari weiss. stay tuned. >> brian: this is the reference. the reference about him being the kevin bacon of all this controversy. just another despicable person to emerge from the fbi that had no right to be a part of the mueller investigation leading up to it and the did you remember report all over it. twitter repressing documents and somehow he sustained that job through the transition or wanted to be maybe because he wanted to choreograph the release or, i don't know, was he capable of masking some of itforced out

due to his role in that investigation which was a total hoax. he became a fernando of the russian investigation despite findings of bias and criminal conduct. he goes to the fbi, sullied and disgraced but holds on to that fbi probably for a huge salary and protecting a lot of people. let's see what is now open. i'm wondering if he was capable or if he worked behind the scenes. >> ainsley: elon musk trying to get to the bottom of it. when he fired him he sounds like he asked him to explain it and he wasn't happy with the answer. someone on twitter asked musk,

they said, was he asked to explain himself first? and elon musk wrote back yes. his explanation was unconvincing. last man stand from the inside circle from the people at twitter and were censoring the hunter biden laptop stuff, whether a was he doing exactly in the final days vetting it? was he keeping materials away from bari weiss and matt taibbi or was he, you know, was he filtering them, you know, i really up shouldn't give them that. the big question is whether or not and this is what he would have access to at twitter. any sort of coordination or communication between twitter and the biden campaign. if there was stuff, will it be revealed in this next batch of stuff? we hope so, because matt and bari were both trying to explain

at the behest of elon musk who said we will get to the bottom of it. i think elon musk was horrified to realize hey, wait a minute, one of the guys who was in charge of censoring, i left him in charge of censoring the stuff to give to the journalists? that's crazy. >> ainsley: how do they know that he didn't destroy some of that evidence. >> steve: you don't know. >> brian: miranda devine was on last night. and she knows this as well as anyone, "laptop from hell" author. >> ainsley: her story they censored. >> it was who was censoring that information. it was twitter's top lawyer, james baker who, as you just said, had been the top lawyer at the fbi, the quarterback of the fbi-russia collusion scandal. and he had had to leave the fbi because of that and lo and behold he shows up at twitter five months before the 2020

election and lo and behold one little element did come out friday night, it was this one email that had the date and time removed from it, very peculiarly, but it was from james baker and it was weighing in on the decision on the morning of october 14, 2020, and a few hours after our story came out. and it was james baker weighing in on the side of censorship, no surprise. >> brian: unbelievable. this is unbelievable that this has taken place. and so far on the other networks, not a word about it. and the only guy who says this is a problem is congressman ro khanna on the democratic side. he said he had a problem with the censorship in 2020. he even said it on cnn last night. i got a problem with it now. >> steve: well, and ultimately elon musk had a problem with it, that's one of the reasons he bought the thing for 42 million -- billion dollars, something like that.

he want to get to the bottom of it. and, you know what? you got to figure he is going to move hell or high water to make sure that those reporters get the stuff so that they can tell all of us what really happened. >> ainsley: decisions like this can change the direction of the country. >> steve: absolutely. >> ainsley: other networks don't report on breaking news that involves twitter and the fbi and stories that are or are not reported right before an election. it seems as an american, it just seems so unfair that the elections are -- it's just biased. and they are trying to tell you how to vote or suppressing stories so you don't even know about things that might effect the way you vote. >> steve: people think, you know, when i do that twitter thing or do the google thing, it's all fair and balanced. >> ainsley: they put in the algorithm that they want. >> steve: it's the algorithm. whoever programs the algorithms programs in some way the election. >> ainsley: moscow i'd do who he's police chief vowing no stone will go unturned as the

investigation into the four murdered students continues. his emotional gets really emotional think emotional interview exclusively with fox news. >> steve: plus, loudoun county, virginia's school board superintendent fired after virginia governor glenn youngkin makes good on his promise to investigate the embattled school board. but he won't walk away empty-handed. the shocking payout that the superintendent is going to get straight ahead on "fox & friends." and look who else is coming up on this wednesday morning ♪ ♪ keep your eyes on me ♪ i think you are holding back ♪ said shut up and dance with mo ♪ne this woman

second sexual assault after transferring. although the report says the district bears the brunt of the blame for the second sexual assault. zeigler was fired without cause, meaning he is going to walk away with his full salary and benefits. scott smith, whose daughter was sexually assaulted by the convicted teen has demanded transparency from the school board. he was arrested in june 2021 at a board meeting and says the report falls short of holding the board members accountable. listen. >> nobody held accountable by name. that whole report laid out a bunch of, you know, misdeeds, criminal, you know, situations, perhaps and at the end of the report, you know, we get six recommendations of things that they should do better next time. i hope that the grand jury is not done with their duty yet. >> todd: virginia governor glenn youngkin reacting to the report. superintendents firing on twitter quote today's report is important step toward accountability and i applaud the attorney general for his

initiative. a.g. will shared his reactions writing quote yesterday's grand jury report represents a big step in ensuring that the number one priority for loudoun county public schools as well as all school districts across the commonwealth is the safety of our students. although the victim's family says more work needs to be done, glenn youngkin delivering on his campaign trail promise to oversee an investigation into the loudoun county school board. steve, ainsley, brian, back to you. >> steve: hey, todd, since you are putting on your lawyer hat for a seconding. the superintendent was not fired for cause and nobody was named by the grand jury, why would that be? was that to say hey no single person made a mistake here? >> todd: it could be and obviously the board gets this they know they need to do something because people are demanding accountability, so they fire zeigler and at the end of the day he gets basically what he would be getting even if he stayed in office which is all his pension, all his benefits, so on and so forth.

so i understand what the father in this situation is saying. >> to your point, steve. no accountability, nobody is really getting punished. the guy is probably going to go to a different district and new job. he still gets paid. >> ainsley: unbelievable. imagine, you have daughters, todd, many of us have kids. imagine send are your child to school. they go to the bathroom in the middle of the day and they're sexually assaulted and that person who does it is just transferred to another school. >> steve: yeah, don't do that again. >> ainsley: exactly and does it again. >> todd: what's so tough for people of our age to realize and figure out this stuff never happened. if there was problem at school you may have got noon a little fight. nothing to this degree. you send your kids to school and think they are going to be protected something like this happens. something you could never envision, this is the world we live in now. >> steve: sexual assault. >> brian: thanks, todd. scott zeigler said we don't have any record of assaults occurring in our rest rooms. happened he actually said that ian prior led the fight to transform the school system in

virginia said this last night laura. >> what i see when at this look at this report i don't see negligence and gross negligence i see reckless indifference. when you are looking at things neglect of a minor, delinquency of a minor, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, recklessness is the standard. i also note that in there, going through all this behavior by the school administration, they also talked about the lawyer for the school. they seemed like they really wanted to indict him for tampering with a witness but they don't have a witness tampering statute in virginia. we looked at these but it doesn't fit obstruction for inindictment for the lawyer. they didn't say that about the actual reported and didn't say that about obstruction for the school board members. why wouldn't they say that? so i suspect we could see more down the road in the very near future. >> >> steve: one of the other things the grand jury apparently said, they said school administrators looked out for their own interest rather than the best interest of the school

district bears the blame allowing the boy to transfer after the first attack politician ran on a promise. so many people upset about what happened down there. one of the first things i'm going to do suggest they open an investigation into what happened. they investigated it the grand jury has returned a verdict and as we know now the school board has as well. the superintendent is gone. >> ainsley: one mom was asked are you considering pulling your children out of the school district she said i never felt that way before but it definitely crossed my mind yesterday reading the report. you put a lot of trust in these schools. weave put our little kids' little backpacks on every day. we pack their lunches hug them and kiss them goodbye. the one thing we want to count on is school system and leadership is really working overtime to make sure that things within their control are done well and always have safety

first and now it's been shattered. so what do we do next? we can't trust the leadership in charge. >> steve: all right. so that's the latest from the common west of virginia. moving on going down to virginia. coming up raphael warnock holding ton senate seat following georgia's high takes runoff. what this means for upcoming legislation in the u.s. senate and beyond still ahead on "fox & friends." ♪ oderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪things are getting clearer♪ ♪i feel free to bare my skin♪ ♪yeah, that's all me♪ ♪nothing and me go hand in hand♪ ♪nothing on my skin♪ ♪that's my new plan♪ ♪nothing is everything♪ achieve clearer skin with skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months. in another study, most people had 90% clearer skin, even at 4 years. and skyrizi is just 4 doses a year, after 2 starter doses. ♪it's my moment, so i just gotta say♪

>> brian: came down to the wire in georgia's senate runoff. but the peach state is sending democratic senator raphael warnock back to washington. >> after a about hard-fought campaign or should i say campaigns. [laughter] it is my honor to ho utter the r most powerful words ever spoken in a democracy. the people have spoken. [cheers] >> brian: with his defeat of republican challenger herschel walker democrats will control 51 seats and the g.o.p. 4 #. georgia based radio host acre erickson foremost experts of the region and the state join us now. surprise to you, eric? >> not really. i mean, this was kind of obvious when herschel walker announced he just had a lot of baggage that weighed him down.

really the surprise is how close he kept in the runoff. at love republicans primarily thought it was going to be a blowout but it wound up being close. >> brian: you think brian kemp's door knocking campaign helped how? >> brian kemp left his ground game on for herschel walker. mitch mcconnell poured $11 million into it. and if you look at the state, where did brian kemp over-perform in the general all the places herschel walker overperformed in the runoff. whereby he fell behind in the general and surged ahead in the runoff. ground became working it gives the model for the g.o.p. moving forward. >> brian: looked like depends on when the votes come in. for a while walker was up and it was a dead heat for hours until the last, i guess 25 minutes, warnock would go ahead for good and the other places wouldn't be strong for him. how much does this matter? warnock 150 million, walker spent 58 million? >> look, it matters a lot when you look at where it was spent. for example, walker only spent about 400,000 on streaming ads

and war new york spent about $4 million on streaming ads. a lot of people, we were missing the well, the adult underwear and the erectile dysfunction ads and watching streaming to avoid the political ads and suddenly we were seeing them there everywhere. thank god they are gone today. >> brian: what's the republican take away here in the big picture? you are supposed to learn from wins and losses what should republicans learn from loss. >> they need a better ground came. kemp's operation kept it really close. the democrats in georgia really outperformed the republicans again in that area. republicans used to dominate the state of georgia in that area. and they just haven't in the last couple of years. >> brian: what's changed? >> there has been this dissatisfaction and also this idea that if you vote early, your vote could not count and could get stolen which simply isn't true. they fixed the law in georgia. >> brian: the other thing is jim crow 2.0 didn't pan out. i think joe biden, president biden should apologize to everyone in georgia.

>> well, absolutely. major league baseball should bring back the all-star game punishing the state when actually it was a whole lot easier to vote absentee and early this time. the lines moved way faster than they have in the past. >> brian: senator sinema and manchin 51. republicans don't -- excuse me democrats don't need them each and every time. manchin lose pipeline deal made with senator schumer saying the american people will pay the price for washington once again failing to put common sense policy act of constant tribal politics. this is why the american people hate politics. what he said is i designed off on terrible inflation reduction deal to get a pipeline deal for my state and for others, perhaps, and republicans didn't back him up and democrats didn't vote for it so it didn't happen. >> well, you know, joe manchin should probably learn his lesson not stab the republicans in the back by telling them he was opposed to build back better and then secretly cutting the deal. this is pay back for him. also he can get a better deal now the republicans control the

house. the only reason the republican could say kill it in the senate because there were enough progressives in the house to block it with the republicans. that no longer exists. can he still get this deal in a senate in a restructured plan because sinema and manchin tend to stick together on this. they need both of them, the democrats do, to pass anything. he can get a better deal. the american people can get a better deal now because republicans will control the house. >> brian: everyone is talking about desantis and you should. but keep your eye on kemp nationally. because this guy has really made a difference. he stared at the democratic super star stacey abrams for four years. did he so well in four years. he got a resounding victory. i think the country is looking at him. do you think the party should be looking at him nationally? >> i think they should. in fact, when his term expires in 2026, one of these democrats in georgia jon ossoff will be up in the u.s. senate. already has a formidable ground game he may go to the senate. >> brian: i'm thinking president e might be a contender for that. >> i know kemp. the only time he ever cussed me

out is when i suggested he run for president. >> brian: erick who would ever can you say you out? >> the governor. >> brian: now the whole country looks at georgia the way we used to look at ohio and florida. thanks erick. >> thank you. >> border disorder, president biden skips out on visiting the border during his arizona trip. >> mr. president, why go to a border state and not visit the border? >> it there are more important things going on. trillions of dollars in new enterprise. >> >> brian: border town sheriff sounds off on how the president just sounded off. enough was enough. i talked to an asthma specialist and found out my severe asthma is driven by eosinophils, a type of asthma nucala can help control.

now, fewer asthma attacks and less oral steroids that's my nunormal with nucala. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. nucala is not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. talk to your asthma specialist to see if once-monthly nucala may be right for you. and learn about savings at nucala.com there's more to your life than asthma. find your nunormal with nucala. i may be close to retirement but i'm as busy as ever. careful now. nice! you got it. and thanks to voya, i'm confident about my future. oh dad, the twins are now... ...vegan. i know, i got 'em some of those plant burgers. nice! nice! yeah. voya provides guidance for the right investments and helps me be prepared for unexpected events.

they make me feel like i've got it all under control. because i do. ok, that was awesome. voya. be confident to and through retirement. merry christmas to each and every one of you. as we celebrate christmas you may wonder if jesus christ can make a difference in your life. you bet he can. that's why he came, to save us from our sins. jesus was born to die. he came to earth as a babe, took our sins to the cross 33-years later,

he died on the cross, and god raised him to life on the third day. he's not dead, he's alive. if you've never put your faith and trust in him, you can do that right now. just pray this prayer with me, just say, "dear god, "i've made a wreck of my life. "i'm sorry for my sins and i ask you to forgive me. "i believe that jesus christ is your son. "i want to trust him as my savior, "and follow him as my lord, "from this day forward. amen." if you prayed that prayer, call that number that's on the screen. we've got someone who'd like to speak with you right now. give them a call. god bless ya and a merry christmas to each and every one. hey, it's ryan reynolds, owner of mint mobile. it's the holidays and the big wireless companies are busy spending billions on advertising. at mint we're not into wasting money. so we bought this spiffy stock footage for $500. our footage also came with another hand, so we can let you know if you switch to mint,

>> ainsley: president biden defending his decision to dodge the border while he visits arizona this week. but those who live and work at the border might feel differently. here to react is pinal county sheriff mark lamb. good morning, schiff. >> good morning, ainsley how are you? >> ainsley: i'm doing great. thank you. when you hear the president say that, there are more modern things to do, what's more important than national security? >> that would be my question what's more important, mr. president. clearly all he cares about is the money. he says after that we have billions of enterprises come in. you know, the big guy has got make sure that that money is there -- see that money come into the state in arizona when in reality we have like you said, ainsley, a major security problem on our border we are allowing unprecedented amounts of people, unprecedented amounts of fentanyl to come into this country. slavery is increasing every day in this country and it is all happenings right at the southern border. and for the president to say they have more important things than that is really a slap in

the face of the american people. >> ainsley: look at these numbers, 73,000 got aways in november. those are the ones they saw on camera. those are the ones we know of. not the ones that got across the border that we didn't see. 137,000 since october 1st alone. 600,000 total in the fiscal year 2022. and 309,000 total in face equal year 2021. they say the border is secure. is that true? >> no, it's absolutely not secure. we had 24,000 apprehensions in the tucson sector alone, which is the sector that i'm in. we also had 24,000 got-aways that we knew about, like you said ainsley probably another 25,000, who knows how many that we don't know about. are my guys are pulling traffic stops every morning. just the other day i had two pursuits by 10:00 a.m. this is happening every day. i have had 250% increase in pursuits involving human smuggling. i have had 200 percent increase in traffic stops involving human

smuggling. and the deaths that we're having across america from fentanyl is through the roof. so, it's absolutely not secure. >> ainsley: yeah, moms and dads are always on our show talking about fentanyl and the issue and they have lost children because of fentanyl that's produced in china that comes across our border through mexico. what about your deputies? what are they saying? do they say this is a slap in the face to know the president is coming so close and not going to go down to the border? >> you know, after two years, our deputies note that this administration is not committed to protecting our borders. to the contrary, can you clearly see they just don't care. and more, their policies are actually contributing to it. they have to know that. this isn't by ignorance or accident or incompetence. this son pursuance. our deputies know. this but you know what? we have good men and women like the border patrol has on the line level. they put on that badge every day go out and committed to protecting our communities and protect those people trafficked

by the cartels and exploited by the cartels and who are being brought to the border to the door steps of the cartel by this administration and their failed and miserable policies. >> ainsley: i want to hear some of your stories because in some of the news articles it talks about what is happening in texas. border patrol agents in texas stop a wrong-way driver during human smuggling attempt. the suspect escaped. texas officials stop an airplane human smuggling attempt. one migrant allegedly paid $11,000. are you hearing stories like this or seeing them? >> yeah. i was just out, you can go to my youtube or my facebook for our sheriff's office and you will see me out with my guys making traffic stops. regular citizens actually transporting these people into our community. we have had bailouts which is where we pursue them and everybody bails out of the car and guys get hit by trucks. we have had them drive into canals and drown in canals. we have had them get into accidents with law-abiding citizens who are just minding their own business, trying to go to work or go home or wherever
