ginger bread house my daughter made. >> brian: i think someone lives there. >> ainsley: or a government office building. >> brian: definitely feels like the season. >> steve: there is the best right there in single digits. >> ainsley: 9 days. >> ainsley: burning your socks. if. >> brian: why we chose left i'm not sure. >> steve: those will go on either foot. if you left them there, if you were on top of the mantel and put your foot in there, it's left. >> steve: the names are on the right side. >> brian: i would wear them on the inside. i would wear my name on the inside. >> steve: upside down world. anyway, it is a friday, it's going to be a big show at the

end of today's telecast we will recap the past year. we have had a very busy 2022. >> ainsley: i read that we were doing that in the run down. i started laughing. i guarantee pickle ball is going to be in there. [laughter] >> steve: absolutely. >> brian: i see it in the elevator every day. unbelievable. >> ainsley: brian is a great athlete except that one day. that one day. anxiously it loves that you do great. all right. let's talk about this because elon musk is suspending the twitter accounts at least stove steve we know a couple days ago elon musk said dox somebody else

put out somebody elsens location they will be suspended now we know he has used that rationale and we know how long people are suspended for. >> yes, we do i will tell you exactly how long and maybe he will change his mind we will all find out together. it was actually, believe it or not, steve, a series of tweets from elon musk in which he explained why a number of journalists have been suspended for violating the platform's new policy not to share location information. now, musk says they would actually stay off the platform for seven days, although he is the guy who owns the shop. he can always change his mind. let me share some of the tweets that we have been watching. posted by exact realtime location. basically assassination coordinates and obvious direct violation of twitter terms of service. he later tweeted this. if anyone posted realtime locations and addresses on "new york times" reporters, fbi would be investigating. there would be hearings on

capitol hill and biden would give speeches about the end of democracy. how about this? a twitter poll that he put out there, asking okay. how about these accounts? should i unsuspend them? you know, like now or maybe i should wait seven days? a lot of people weighed in and the majority who weighed in said he should actually unsuspend those accounts right now. as for "the washington post" one of those groups suspended, gentleman by the name of drew harwell this is from the post. the suspension of drew harwell's twitter account directly undermines elon musk claim he intends to run platform dedicated to free speech. harwell was banished from twitter without warning, process or explanation. as for elon musk, well, we have new polling data out there that sort of lets you know what our

latest survey thinks most people feel about elon musk. so, what's your opinion of the new twitter owner? still favorable by just 1 point. 44 to 43. and opinion of twitter, not so much. 54-38 unfavorable according to our latest survey. and that's in sharp contrast to the 2018 survey which found that it was still unfavorable but much closer as 39-37. now, musk has described himself as a free speech absolutist. but, when it comes to doxxing, as you pointed out, there are lines that can be crossed. and, apparently, a group of reporters found the location of that line. steve, ainsley, and brian, back to you. >> steve: hey, kevin, i was reading this morning it sounds like some of those reporters the feud he has with the kid posting public information about his jet's location. i think it's unclear why the others were suspended. >> i have read that they were

critical of musk in general. now, if that is the line now, then obviously that's probably not going to make him look very fair or make the platform look very good. but, if there's more to it, if there is threatening language. if there was language that would, again, direct to you dox his family then maybe he would have a stronger argument. basically all i can tell you, steve, this is his shop. he can run it the way he would like. he can ultimately do that b.k. so we will all watch and see how much or how little he explains his rationale today. >> brian: thanks, kevin. when we talk about banning suspensions and mystery, it's never been "the washington post," "washington times" and cnn. it's forever. this is the first time there has even been some interest over there other thing give him credit for this. at least it's not a shadow ban. a mystery. why is such and such only getting three re-tweets. why is such and such not being seen? why is this bury? ed he came out and announced it

right away. i don't think it's the best modify he has ever had. >> ainsley: being transparent because he feels like his family is in danger. can you tweet about where i used to be, where i was. not realtime. it's affecting my family and i don't want them to be in danger. >> brian: nine kids, too. >> ainsley: they should be able to go to restaurants and go out and enjoy their lives without worrying about somebody coming up to them or throwing a molotov cocktail at the restaurant. >> steve: sure, if if they were just being critical of him explain why they were suspended. >> brian: people critical of me should be suspended. >> steve: we are working on that. >> brian: are you? >> ainsley: just get rid of all media. no more "saturday night live." >> brian: twitter has gone dark. >> steve: bari weiss, who worked with matt taibbi and they did the twitter files, she has published a blog, essentially, an essay about what it was like being inside twitter and looking at old twitter and new twitter. and she talked a lot to elon musk and she said musk paid -- says he paid about double what

it was worth but he said he had to, quote, chew down this hair ball which is to say he had to buy twitter. he said -- musk calls the twitter. >> ainsley: chewing down the hair ball? >> steve: musk calls the twitter he bought a nonprofit. wasn't pursuing earnings but social influence. quote, this was fundamentally an activist organ. he fired 80% of the staff and said if you didn't want to work long and hard get out and many did. >> ainsley: she talks about how unelected -- one unelected group had so much power in the old twitter regime. she says old twitter was moderated by the morals and morris of one group. now it is morals and mores of one man. if i took away one week at twitter power. how a handful of unelected people handful of private companies can influence public discourse per family because all of those people tend to move and think as one.

#. >> brian: doxxing one of his things? step back. how can he stay on top of this like this for a daily basis for years and weeks? saints ains especially when he has other companies. >> brian: tesla paying the price for it. lowest stock rate in six years. a lot of people look at tesla as ideological because is he tending to balance things out on twitter. one thing i would add to this story with bari weiss says they also list how many people at twitter donated to republicans and democrats. almost nobody donated who worked there to republican parties. you have these people moderating that social media platform. i'm sure facebook is the same way. who clearly had a point of view and that's what it was used for for the longest time.

is he trying to balance it out and coming off as a right winger but he is really not. >> steve: he also said this regarding why he bought twitter. he said i'm not going to spend just $44 billion to reinstate a satire blog, babylon be. i did it because i was worried about the future of civilization, rates are plummeting. the thought police are gaining power and even having an opinion is enough to be shunned. we are trending in a bad direction. regarding the twitter files bari weiss said for the past few days, conservative media and social media thought this was the biggest story in the world. we talked a lot about it nobody else was. the legacy press and those americans who rely on it barely seems to know it exists. we are living in a culture suffering from a lack of open transparency public debate for people to have the courage to speak their minds. they have to know at least what is happening. >> ainsley: i think it's refreshing for her. she went through it too at "new york times" and ended up leaving and started writing for substack

free press. she has realized how biased they are. how they keep the stories out of the press because they don't want you to know about it. if you are not watching fox news. if you are not reading "the new york post." you wouldn't have known about the hunter biden story. so i think she was the product of this. she saw what happened to her. and now she is, i think she finds it refreshing but she is also making everyone aware, look, this is what is happening. it happened to me. it's happening to other people. you all need to be beware when you read certain papers or watch certain television shows you are not going to get the full story. the old twitter unlimited vacation days, permanent work from home. no performance reviews. >> steve: i want to work there. >> ainsley: as long as twitter was breaking even that's all they cared about one employee told her. twit elon came in and fired 80%. if you are not prepared to work long hours leave. >> brian: got beds in the building. fascinating to hearings now.

instead the twitter and facebooks or meta, whatever they are called now and google everybody saying the same thing. twitter go yeah, they were a mess, biased and shadow banning. facebook is like we weren't. we are not going to buy that now it's really going to stand out unless they can provide documentation, at least jim jordan and company know whether a to look for now and can ask specifically were you doing what twitter was doing we know for sure? it's going to make it a lot more interesting. >> steve: kevin corke was talking about how he runs the show. elon musk runs the show whatever he says goes. bari weiss did say he one person has so much power. musk has business interest. could he end up suppressing info to impress the chinese communist party. she asked about criticism that no one should have this much power the old twitter or even he. he said, quote: i'm open to ideas. so, that's what's what's going

on behind the scenes at twitter, thanks to bari weiss. pulling back the curtain. >> brian: right. also, i have never seen him say anything negative about china elon musk. so that's interesting. >> steve: maybe it's subtle. that's what she is suggesting. >> brian: new polls show overwhelming majority of americans believe the doj should investigate the president's son. how quickly we could learn more about hunter biden's business dealings. >> steve: plus, is the clock ticking for tiktok? the latest calls for a ban on the chinese-owned app. you are watching "fox & friends" live from new york city. we have got a big friday show. look who showed up. >> brian: and anything can happen. ♪ ♪ ♪ entresto is the #1 heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren,

and we would like to see any mentions of hunter biden and his dealings with particularly china and also ukraine with are. [buzzer] that. burisma 260 emails that mention burisma and date back to 2014 whether hunter had a seat there and joe was the vice president. now the white house is kind of in a pickle will they say you know what? executive privilege. a bunch of that stuff you can't see in which cases they might not be a available to see until 2029. >> ainsley: national archives did inform the white house and told president biden and the obama administration in a letter that they wrote at the end of november that they plan to release the records. but, you are right, the president could, i guess, impose executive privilege and say we are not going to allow these to be released, papers to be released to the public on

february 28th, 2023. >> brian: fox news poll out how important the doj investigate hunter biden's business with foreign governments? 72% of you said yes. 26 percent said no. i think it's also important to point out that republicans pretty much got this down. it's really not about hunter. and what he is doing, yes. all this stuff there leads back to the vice president at the time. and then the former vice president, when he was between jobs, but i will add this, we know that there was already people in the obama administration that thought it was wrong that hunter was on this burisma board and how bad it looks because joe biden had the ukraine portfolio for because he was the vice president and actually did his job for barack obama. they said it looks terrible. buff at the time he was mourning the death of his son bo. i don't want to upset him. this is terrible. we wish he could pull him back. so there were problems in that administration with this. i can only imagine what the

expansive documents would look like. >> >> it looked terrible because hunter biden was on this board and he had no energy experience. $83,000 a month is the only thing that is on his resume that would indicate that he should be on that board was the thing at the top. his name, his name is biden. here's the thing. i predict that the white house will say executive privilege we have reported how they have hired a bunch of lawyers to fight everything that the republicans come at them with their investigations and whatnot. and this would be one of the things. the "new york post" writes that the legal grounds for claiming executive privilege are shaky at best. because a bunch of these things are already in the hands of third parties. so, the administration of obama administration-biden can't say hey, this is a big secret when somebody else has already got the stuff. >> ainsley: if you look at a fox

news poll this is interesting. even though the majority want the doj to investigate this and find out what the truth is, the majority of republicans think that hunter did something wrong with ukraine and with china. and they think the president committed a crime. the majority of democrats do not. only 11% think that hunter did something wrong and 8% think that joe biden did. >> brian: so gregg jarrett. he's a lawyer. he was on sean hannity's show last night and was asked about this and where he thinks it's going to governmental it's a crime to confer a benefit to to a foreign government in exchange of something of value. that's money to your son. and, you know, if biden tries to use executive privilege to hide these documents, that, in itself, would be an abuse. the privilege relates to confidential advice if disclosed would impair government functions that has noriega whatsoever to do with burisma and hunter biden. >> there is nocriminal informat.

it hunter biden corruption, influence peddling, fraud, you know, money laundering, a variety of things. all of which documents suggest implicate joe biden. >> steve: maybe the white house would make the argument that some of these documents pertain to ukraine, which is in the middle of a big war and so it should be kept out of the news. >> >> ainsley: they will find a reason. >> steve: that's why they're paying a lot of money. that he was why they're on retainer. stay tuned. >> buckle yourself up. otherwise, it sounds like at the end of february we will see what the federal government has in their archives about hunter biden and burisma from that administration. >> brian: all right. meanwhile, if you like holiday quheer a deals of his industry. be sure to check out new fox nation special which i'm lucky enough to host. we dig into how one cartoonist used santa claus to inspire americans through the nation's most divide era, the civil war.

>> brian: wbna star brittney griner will celebrate the christmas in the united states after high stakes prisoner swap with russia. while griner is safe several americans were left behind brings questions to the forefront. mark fogle an american teacher also caught with medical marijuana. like griner the u.s. has never classified him as wrongfully detained. why not? our next guest wrote an op-ed asking if fogle was simply not woke enough for the president to step. in congressman guy rashida tlaib then stuller joins us now. not many people are talking about fobleg what happened with him he had a very small amount of medical marijuana, which is legal in the state of pennsylvania. we're talking a few ounces of this. and he was detained he was convicted of drug smuggling and drug trafficking. i have made the argument that he

should be declared that's the many status of someone he would overseas and makes them eligible for a prisoner swap. brittney griner was put on wrongfully detained status within weeks. fobleg, who has been in custody longer than griner was, he was detained in august of 2021 still 2021 isnot on wrongfully detaind status. >> brian: what makes you think he is woke or not woke. >> is he a teacher from pittsburgh, pennsylvania. the d.c. elite view that as flyover country. i don't know mark fobleg's political association this administration values equity and central intersectional hierarchy as they see it and the viewers can make their own conclusions. i would argue there are reasons why brittney griner was released not mark fogle, he doesn't have the celebrity status of a basketball player. he is just a history teacher but

his life should be valued just as high as a celebrity basketball player and so should whelan the marine wrongfully detained in russia. >> brian: do you know what pieces we have to trade for him if we are going to go down that road again. >> to my knowledge, we don't have two merchants of death in u.s. custody. that's what is really shame about the viktor bout swap we lost all leverage when we gave up bout for griner. this should have been a deal we got whelan fogle and griner. one for one trade given we traded the merchant of death somebody who had blood of americans on their hand. led to chaos and violence all over the globe. we gave him up one o. one trade. that is patently offensive. we should have got all three of our wrongfully detained americans back from the russian physicals we were going to give up viktor bout the merchant of

death. >> brian: keep mark fogle's name out there. without attention he is going to waste away in that country. i appreciate it. congressman reachen that you recall, thanks so much. >> thank you, brian, merry christmas. >> brian: back at you. taking on wokeness and education, a university has raised millions in its goal to promote f free speech on campus. what you need to know about the university of austin. a little bit later, the gift of giving, samaritan's purse helps people around the world. can you join their efforts. we will tell you how. ♪ run, run rudolph ♪ santa ain't far behind ♪ ...and even worse with all my gear on.

cole hauser is an award winning actor. beyond his impressive career, he is a proud supporter of the tunnel to towers foundation. i was able to spend some time with cole and his family to reflect on those who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedom.

you know, as i started to be more and more successful, i was like, how can i help? but when i heard of the tunnel to towers and i met brandon in idaho and his family, i was like, wow. there's actually a charity where we know where the money's going to go. you saw all the stuff we put in these homes? i was i was blown away. why should americans help tunnel to towers foundation? i mean, is there any better organization to help the people that has fought for this country and freedoms that we have? and you're going to join us on that mission. thank you. hey, i'm cole. hauser. i want you to join me in supporting our nation's heroes and their families. it's only $11 a month. go to t2t.org >> steve: a new anti-woke school is will taking the country by storm the university of austin

founded last year as free speech alternative to most of america's colleges since its start organizers have raised over $100 million from donors who agree with its mission. peter is a founding member and joins us from portland. peter, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve, thank you for having me on. >> steve: you bet. you know what you were doing you asp professor at portland state university you said i have had enough i have got to go. why? >> correct. i couldn't take it anymore. i couldn't take the ideological capture and i say this as somebody who self-classifies as a liberal. i felt for the years that i had been there that i slowly saw the university deteriorate into an ideology mill and punished heretics and blasphemers. i had enough like so many people. it is happening to people all over the country. >> steve: i understand it's going to take shape ultimately in about a year and a half, in

the calendar year 2024 it will open down in texas. but, last summer. >> in austin. >> steve: that's why they call it the university of austin. >> correct. >> steve: last summer, you had what you call forbidden classes in dallas at a location. why do you call them forbidden classes? >> that's a great question. because there are topics and subjects and ideas that people cannot speak freely about on university campuses, gender, race, sexual orientation and we wanted to give people an opportunity to speak openly and honestly, sincere people who have sincere questions. we want to give them the opportunity to ask those questions from not only experts in the field but renowned people intellectuals engage those conversations which are simply not happening at public universities right now. >> steve: i read the description of some of these forbidden classes that were taught down in dallas over the summer.

and it sounds to me like when i went to the university, in the 70s, because it was described as it's a class where diverse views actually people who hold different opinions are presented about topics we wouldn't or couldn't or shouldn't even talk about. that's the way it used to be. you wanted to hear make up your own mind. now it's just all lopsided to the left it seems. >> yeah. the woke left, in particular. so that's what we want to do. we want to create the infrastructure that gives students the tools to make better decisions to think through problems. this is not a small task. very ambitious project particularly when we are facing several multiple mask allusions at one time with regard to the dominant moral orthodoxy. to speak freely and to open your mind and to be exposed to multiple ideas, competing ideas and to understand how to engage. this is a remarkable experience

it's also incredibly ambitious and we are achieving it. >> steve: you are achieving it because there are some people who have said this is such an important program. i'm going to donate a lot of money. have you raised $100 million already. >> over that that's right. >> steve: who are the people who are given the money and why are they interested in university of austin? >> well, so, that's a really good question. people are giving money because they are concerned about the future of this country. they are concerned about ideological corruption. they are concerned that people can't speak openly and honestly. so, there's one component of that where they are concerned about students' education and helping people who come from a wide variety of background, a wide variety of beliefs have an actual education as opposed to what they are having now which is indoctrination. >> steve: sure. the other issue is for the united states economic competitiveness. many of us, myself included, are deeply concerned that

anti-american notions and, school selectivity and we see what is happening with asians in the country being systematically discriminated against. and, yes, there is institutionalized racism and that's a great example of it. so, we have had enough. we -- people are giving money for both the individual level and on a global level. they are worried about the united states competitiveness internationally. >> steve: obviously, you feel so strong about it peter boghossiaan. >> steve: he is appearing portland time 3:47 so people all across the country can hear about the university of austin. thank you very much. >> thanks, steve. appreciate it. >> steve: good luck. >> on this friday continue 12 days of giving series with samaritan's purse. helping people worldwide and you can join them. the president's ceo franklin graham is live in the studio to
