rachel: biden christmas. pete: biden christmas. get something really cheap, give it with love. will: that is not the way it works. when you wait until the last minute, it doesn't get to be cheap. pete: there is duane reade or cvs across the street. >> the biden christmas presents can go either way. they can be like biden christmas presents, inflation. get it at cv on sale, or be the hunter version you have to get something really extravagant because you have got a bunch of ukraine russia money [laughter] will: i have some ideas. i have some ideas. pete: not cocaine. rachel: or cocaine. will: my kids are hard to buy. their fashion choices are horrendous. i can't tell if they're going to communion or basketball practice. they have opinions about it. make fun of me. am apparently i'm a dad. oh, you have your jeans on. rachel: they do. will: feel silly for pete.

i have ideas for pete. you moved to tennessee. i have some country ideas. western ideas. he is into bro country. sent you an awesome playlists on spotify. pete: i listened to it a bit. will: it is real country music. he didn't go with it. i'm on ice skates with you. i don't know exactly. i have the genre, i know what to do with you. rachel: what to do with you. will: i love the amount of love. rachel: it is interesting. pete: no actual purchasing. >> this is so will, right? a lot of musing and analyzing -- will: nothing happens. nothing happens. i know what you're getting at. pete: that is why we love him. will: country music superstar luke bryan will join us. that is gift in of itself with "fox & friends" es. we start this morning the mayor of el paso declares a state of emergency over a surge of migrants living in unsafe

conditions. >> i believe that today our asylum-seekers are not safe, we have hundreds and hundreds on the streets. that is not the way we want to treat people. rachel: it comes as title 42 is set to expire in just a couple days on wednesday. pete: bill melugin has the latest from eagle pass, texas, bill. reporter: good morning to you. this already unprecedented border crisis will potentially gets a whole lot worse when title 42 drops on wednesday and mass illegal crossings are expected. activity is consistent here in eagle pass this is video our team shot saturday morning. migrants crossing early chilly morning. border patrol handing out blankets. almost all of them single adults. that was not the only group. second piece of video before the sun came up on saturday morning showing even bigger single group of 280 migrants who crossed

illegally. a cpb source telling us the del rio sector had seen 118,000 illegal crossings just since october 1st. those numbers are up 55% over the same time last year. then we'll take you out to el paso. border patrol out there announcing they arrested two convicted sex offenders. both of them guatemalans. both found in new mexico after they crossed illegally. previously convicted of sex crimes in the state of california. we'll take you up to the northern border. believe it or not this is in vermont. border patrol announcing their k-9 helped find five mexican nationals who crossed illegally from canada into vermont. one of those guys was previously deported two times. that vermont sector, border patrol says the numbers are nine times up they were same time last year. back out here live, the

white house making an interesting statement, saying if title 42 does end up dropping on wednesday it will not mean that the border is open. the white house says if anybody claims the border is open, they are doing the smugglers job for them and they are peddling misinformation. we'll send it back to you. pete: [laughter]. look at that banner. thank you, bill as always. if you say the border is open -- rachel: you're working with the cartels. you're helping the cartels. pete: yes. rachel: as the biden administration helps the cartels traffic these illegals that come through and spread them across the country. as the biden administration actually participates and is complicit in human and child sex trafficking with the cartels. it is absolutely, it is orwellian but it is also just gaslighting that it's unbelievable. will: yeah. i think we should -- rachel: you're speechless.

will: i just think i'm going to take a big black sharpie, i'm not ever going to use, unless i'm quoting someone, misinformation. it's a dangerous concept much less a dangerous word. rachel: yes. will: kelsey, a del rio resident wife after border patrol agent amidst all the chaos, what it is like being a border patrol agent? suicides up? loss of sense of purpose. here is what she said. what their life is life amid that surge. >> the numbers are going to increase like substantially. anybody that can, that is paying attention can see the people sleeping on the sidewalks in el paso. our agents are being sent to eagle pass already. you're enticing all these people to come. they're so desperate and we have so many tragic situations that our agents are exposed to on a daily basis and i think people ignore that. or they just don't realize how taxing this job is on them.

every single day. they take that home with them. and it is just, you know, men have a hard time i think expressing any kind of emotion and so for them to have to live with that every single day. it is just compounded, i just don't think that they're given a fair chance really. rachel: it was so interesting speaking with kelsey. you get a sense of this isn't just happening to the border patrol agent. as she says they have to come home. the whole family is impacted. as you can see here, those are pictures of el paso. these entire communities. people coming out of plans holes. people lighting fires, trying to keep warm. what you're seeing now, that is right now. imagine after wednesday. pete: great point. and the white house is saying one thing to the mayor of el paso, please do not declare a state of emergency. all they care about is fallout. they want this clearly their policy is this, right? their policy is no plan.

as a result they want people entering the country. finally late last night the el paso mayor declared a state of emergency which he resisted to doing because the white house said, don't do it, don't do it. now it is too obvious. the state of emergency declaration they will probably get more money to process more people, more quickly. this is not a part of any real solution. it is just dollars and cents. will: later 7:40 eastern time. half an hour. pete and i will go off the wall breaking down incentives for illegal immigration. move on to our next story. i will let rachel set this up. it is fascinating i believe. i believe you want to live a virtuous life. this is not the sales point don't pursue virtue. i come to believe if you sell virtue, you project virtue, it is really almost invariably a guise for hiding vice. so in other words, i'm always

projecting anti-racist. pete: self-righteously. will: i'm projecting anti-racist. i bet i find a tweet. can say tell evangelism, whatever under the surface is fraud of money, what is ever too much forced in your face. i think virtue signaling in every way, sam bankman-fried is a great example of this, has hidden fraud. i think climate change is no different. rachel: i think you're absolutely right. i think there is another piece. we're talking about climate change. we're talking about what the biden administration is doing to push this agenda actually causing other vices are far worse than environmental degradation of the kind they claim is happening. let me say this what covid exposed about the left, they're willing to hurt children in order to advance their political idealogical agenda. this story about the backdoor financing that they're going now

to, they will be financing mining projects in zambia and in the republic of congo where they know, the biden administration knows, u.n. knows there are 40,000 child laborers, many in slave labor conditions. they're willing to do that to get the cobalt and lithium, all these minerals they need to produce ev batteries. will: it is about climate change. it is about green energy. rachel: they don't want to do mining here in the united states where we have many of these minerals and in abundance. we could employ americans. we could do it without child labor. we can do it more environmentally safely. pete: exactly right. if you really cared about it you would do it domestically. rachel: exactly. pete: we had pete stauber, northern minnesota, where they have a lot of opportunities for mining if the government would get out of the way. here is what he had to say. >> it is unconscionable joe biden and this activist

administration chooses child slave labor over the american miner and the american worker. rachel: yes. >> it is unacceptable. to be able to support with a memorandum of understanding, using child slave labor to mine critical minerals when we have critical minerals, in particular in northeastern minnesota. we have what we call the duluth complex, which is the biggest copper nickel fine in the world. joe biden and his administration will not let us mine minerals that we need, we use in our everyday lives. rachel: this is immoral. this is truly, when you talk about evil, if you read the reports what happens to these children, they are, as young as nine years old. some of them say, they are you know ground for 24 hours. they don't have the proper equipment, so they're ingesting heavy metals. look at these photos. it is absolute -- many of them, their parent are also working but the conditions are so bad, many end up orphans because

their parents end up dying in these very dangerous mining conditions. our government is making financing deals with these countries in order to virtue signal about ev. will: where i started this, the point i was making, under banter of virtue signal of green energy hides the vice of employing child labor in horrendous conditions. pete: do whatever you want over there, we don't have to do anything much better much safer with all the right standards, for all the right reasons. part of the reason they would explain away doing this, we can't rely on china. we need other relationships with we need resources. how about rely on nobody. rachel: exactly. pete: do it with right conditions for workers. we have done right types of things for workers over the world. rachel: how about making deals with congo to get children out of the mines this is the immoral thing our government is complicit in. they are complicit in all the i

am immorality at our border. will: new headlines, university of idaho murders do not have a suspect. this digital video food damage showing two of the victims just hours before their deaths. new reports say a scream was picked up by police bodycam the night of the attack around the four students were killed. officers responding to an unrighted incident near the campus. amazon employee stop as shooting attempt at a warehouse in arizona. the suspect opened fire in the parking lot at a warehouse when a armed employee shot back at him. the employee was found dead at the scene due to self-inflicted gunshot one and fire from the employee. one person was injured. he is expected to survive. rachel: amazing. will: on to college football, boise state picking up the first bowl win since 201, beating

i know we never won a super bowl but this is the closest thing to it. you asked about going, seriously, think about it. to come back from 30 points down in one-half. kirk cousins threw over 400-yards in a single half to come back. think about all the defensive stops to take to hold a team with that much momentum. gameplans. this is incredible. this game will live on in history, quite honestly, pete, gives me a lot of hope for this year's super bowl f a team can put this comeback together they can do anything. will: jack, jack. comeback was also down 33-0 to the colts. you're talking super bowl. rachel: jack, pete was watching this game in his office and was screaming. people were coming down the hall to see what was going on. what was happening with you in, where were you when you were watching this?

what was reacting to the comeback. >> i thought the game was over. i was at my son's soccer game. my dad was texting me it was over. all of sudden we look up, they won. it was incredible. so many people turned the tv off, if you're a viking fan hard to watch that. most folks didn't get a chance to watch the comeback. i had to look at the highlights. pete: it is true. i can never stop watching. we were down 33-40. i put it on the side. there was work. there was touchdown, then there was two. a stop, interception. pretty soon never felt like we were out of it. jack, we never had a super bowl, this might be the closest thing, which is sad i agree with you. i agree with you, jack. so. >> we'll take them how they come, pete. pete: take them out as they come. great jack brewer from the vikings. for a little insight.

released the twitter doubts that the fbi media focused task force created in the wake of the 2016 election swelled to 80 agents. here to react, former acting attorney general matthew witmer. matt, thank you for being here. is this washington revolving door stuff, go to business to bring the connections that you have or is this next level twitter fbi connection? >> this is next level. i mean obviously, what was happening between the fbi and twitter was, you know, a belief that twitter needed to staff up with you know, people with criminal experience, cyber experience, and the like. this revelation though really goes deeper than just the fbi. it was deep at the fbi with the bisque task force you point out t was also dhs, several states were lobbing in censorship requests. this is, i think a real concerning, infringement on our

first amendment rights. whether it's done by a private company at the behest of the government or not, it is still a serious free speech issue. pete: you have been at highest levels of doj who would know this is happening? doj, fbi, dni? does leadership know if the task forces are swelling and effectively directing private companies to censor? >> absolutely because those require budgets. you cannot have 80 agents on a task force without having to fund that task force. so this is not a matter whether or not they were coordinating and whether or not they were paying attention to these issues. this is something that was clearly a directive most likely after joe biden took over and merrick garland of trying to censor people whether on twitter or other social media platforms including facebook. pete: that was my next question

is this, do you think it is even diaper and wider and even larger networks? facebook has an even larger reach, google? why wouldn't we believe it is happening on a large-scale there as well? >> well, pete, this is why the mainstream media isn't covering the story. you have to ask the difficult questions, if this was happening at twitter as we're learning, it gets deeper and deeper, what was happening at facebook, google, instagram and others? and it is going to be i think even worse because to your point they had a broader reach than twitter. pete: yeah they sure did. matthew whitaker, merry christmas. appreciate your time. >> merry christmas, pete, skol. pete: skol he played at iowa. i'm trying to taunt him. will is not paying attention. big bakery payout. after a five-year legal battle a one college is paying a bakery millions after accusing the business of being racist.

make up for some of the lost income but is it bittersweet? >> absolutely it is. i wish they were both here to see it but, it is definitely bittersweet. rachel: what kind of toll did this entire thing take on your family? >> well it took a tremendous toll, a lot of stress. a lot of financial toll. it definitely, it definitely hit us hard. rachel: yeah. i mean no one likes to be falsely accused of racism for going after shoplifters in your shop. it is just unbelievable. before i get to you, i want to quickly read by this statement by oberlin college. we're disappointed by the court's decision. this does not disrespect the law. this is painful for everyone.

we hope the litigation will begin the healing of our entire community. lee, talk to me what that statement tells you because they clearly targeted this bakery and falsely accused them of racism. it doesn't seem like they are necessarily taking responsibility for their part in this? >> yes. good morning. and that is the unfortunate takeaway. you know, this should have really been a teaching moment for the college and the students learned, they admitted their guilt. they learned and apologized going forward. but as you can see from the statement the college still doesn't get it. this should have been a teaching moment. the teachers refused to be taught or accept the lesson. rachel: yeah, it really shows how stubborn they are, right. the students who stole pro the bakery, they pled guilty and they did end up taking

responsibility but the school did not. lorna, last words what you hope this school, but perhaps maybe other schools seeing the massive amount, $36 million, what you hope will be learned from this very difficult experience that your family and your bakery has gone through. >> well, i just hope that if incidents occur that people step back and try to find out what really happened and not jump to conclusions or listen to just a few to escalate something when it truly was not true. rachel: yeah. so the bakery will remain open, correct, lorna. >> yes. that is the plan. rachel: wow, good luck with that. merry christmas to both of you. we're glad the settlement has finally come. i'm just so sorry for what your family had to go through to get to this, lorna. lee, thank you so much for joining us. both of you. >> thank you. good morning. >> thank you so much. >> merry christmas to both of

bottom line, the biggest incentive, the freist, most economically prosperous, most dream world place on the planet. pete: most inclusive, the most diverse, most just, prosperous. will: this is opinion. if we dropped all immigration laws across the world where would people emigrate. pete: free-for-all, where every they want. will: they have, essentially we dropped i immigration laws in te united states of america. look what happened in response. in the fiscal year 2022 october, 2.7 million encounters with illegal immigrants. pete: this number is deceptively low. will: this is '23 pier pier we're on track to blow this out of the water. this number is explosion, explosions what it was trump era, the last year was 500,000. get a sense of 500,000 versus 2.7 million in one year illegal. will: to clarify the number you were talking about, pete, the '23 number. look at this.

that's a record. 6500 a day. this is what is expected after title 42 is lifted. doubling that on a daily basis. this is essentially one month's worth of 23. pete: we, we still talk to brandon judd. we talk to border patrol agents. they would say 1000 a day was overwhelming in the day. 2000 a day was overwhelming. will: jeh johnson, said 1000 was a crisis. pete: that is it was. i got the wrong name. brandon judd would say the same thing. we talk about incentives. milton friedman had welfare state. you can have open borders, welfare state. will: cannot have both. pete: you cannot have both. if you do, it is open season to get the types of programs. these are types of federal laws, incentives someone might get when they come here. they may not become citizens but birthright citizenship is real thing. you have a child while here illegally, that child becomes a citizen. that is just to start, will.

will: many of these programs are driven out of empathy. you want to help those in need. the question isn't whether or not you should or shouldn't. the question is, is it incentive to attack further illegal immigration. pete: good point. will: look at community health centers, foosing assistance, housing programs. pete: you will provide educations for kids. you're a parent, you're 10-year-old, you can't go to school. we're providing that. we're not saying right or wrong in that particular context. that attracts people to come to the border, when the border comes it means more people as well. you have something like identification cans. most of the time when you go to another, if i was to go to another country illegally, i would believe, would be difficult for me to get identification. an actual legal form of i.d. not in the united states of america. not in these 18 states where if you are here illegally, the left says undocumented, what is it is illegally you can get a driver's license.

will: not just identification. you're availing yourself privileges of citizenry. the left points out, a driver's license is not a right, privilege much citizenry to drive on public roads f that is the case why do we extend driver's license to those who do not have citizenship? >> intentional conflation, erosion of the privileges of citizenship. really good point. here are other state laws. not just a federal thing. of course you know that certain states provide sanctuary or more incentives. if you live in new york state, they have additional forms of safety net assistance. we know california. we're not even talking about sanctuary. we'll get to that in a moment. will: look at this one. so illegal immigrant living in state of california. you might qualify for in-state tuition. pete: that is the next level. go to the emergency room. give a driver's license. you might get some food assistance but to say on top of it we'll pay for your school? that is reason to show up. washington state, health
