i give him credit for that flags blowing in the wind. according to reports the sun will be up soon. closer and closer to christmas. >> steve: four days until christmas. wait until chris chulo comes into the studio you called him a short cameraman. >> brian: or maybe he fell. >> steve: he will be coming through that fireplace in a couple of minutes. welcome aboard. wednesday until christmas. we have the cardinal dolan on today so i saw that and i thought i should address appropriately. >> rachel: and you did. you you could it not look any merrier. >> brian: can i just say you have your jesse watters pop collar in the back. do you see your collar is popped in the back see that rachel? want to poll that down? >> steve: thank you. >> brian: looked a little like fonzie. >> steve: he has the collar that goes like that. >> rachel: remember he used to

pop his collar like a frat boy back in the day. >> steve: he probably did it on purpose did i not. i'm in a hurry the cardinal is coming. >> rachel: it's going to feel a lot like christmas because there is a winter storm coming. unfortunately it's going to be a big one. it's a fox weather alert. a holiday travel nightmare is unfolding on the west coast right now. over 300 flights have been cab said or delayed because of heavy snow. high winds, terrible weather, in the pacific northwest. particularly seattle. >> brian: imagine being in an airport where you have to work in that and go outside and get the luggage out. >> steve: de-ice. >> brian: 70 million americans could face life-threatening low temperatures as powerful winter storm sweeps across the northern u.s. >> rachel: fox weather correspondent robert ray joins us from chicago with the latest. robert? >> good morning from downtown chicago. you see the magnificent mile here.

very quiet before the sun comes up. it is cold, guys. 16 degrees. feels like it's about 4 or 5 out. but this is nothing. this is just the app. advertiser for what chicagoans and many people across the midwest are going to feel in the coming days. a blizzard is on the way with potential wind gusts between 40 and 60 miles per hour. they are going to force their way into this region, potential snow up though a foot in some areas. maybe even more. chicago expecting in the inches as that progress has been downgraded a bit. originally expected a foot and a half. but no matter what, it is dangerous, life-threatening system coming in here into the midwest. on friday, temperatures are going to be literally zero with real time feels potentially in the 20 to negative 30 degrees. all of that is going to make christmas just a nightmare for travelers as we have seen out in seattle, the airport just

snarled already. and many other airports are going to look exactly the same like o'hare international and midway here in chicago. and i can till, guys, yesterday, the shoppers were out trying to get last-minute christmas deeds done. there are many people that are concerned about how cold it's going to get with these winds, blizzard conditions. and what that means is 35 anywhere winds, sustained for 3 plus hours at a quarter of a mile visibility. that's what we are going to see here as this all comes. in and chicagoans are going to have to hunker down. if people wanted a white christmas they are going to get that the only problem is with cold and winds like this, it's very dangerous and we could see power outages and downed trees for literally thousands, perhaps even millions of people in this part of the country, guys. >> steve: well put, robert. we are going to have a white christmas across much of the country but it's going to be a blizzard and going to be very dangerous. thank you very much for the live

report from downtown chicago. >> rachel: thank you, robert. merry christmas. >> steve: merry christmas, indeed. >> brian: title 42 has been extended and even the administration that wants title 42 to go away why don't we wait until after christmas. leave it in place because it could cause all hell to break loose even though they don't admit they caused this whole thing to happen by ignoring the border, by refusing to finish building up the wall and giving the go sign to anybody who wants to come to the border that they will get. in finally, in texas, they are doing what they do in arizona. they are bringing those shipping containers in. seeing the raiser razor wire. national guard is being flooded into the zone. they are desperate to try to, number one, save el paso and all these other border cities that are just being overwhelmed. >> steve: right. the u.s. supreme court had told the white house to make an argument about title 42 by 5:00 yesterday and at the last hour the white house came out and said that title 42 had outlived

its usefulness and should be allowed to expire but don't end it until after christmas because, according to the administration, and this is something that they would say it. it will lead to disruption and temporarily increase unlawful border crossings. listen. 5 million people have illegally crossed since joe biden took office, so now the chief justice john roberts will deny or keep it in place or refer it to the full court. nonetheless, the white house has said, you know what? stick a fork in it. it's done. if you let the people come across right now, it's going to be a mess. >> rachel: so the department of homeland security remember what that says, department of homeland security, that's what they are supposed to be doing, instead of securing our country, what their decision is in order to deal with this problem that they have at the border is let's just move them further into the

country. >> steve: hide them. >> rachel: hide them and send them to your community where your town can take care of the social services and everything else involved in caring for the illegal migrants. so, here the dhs has said they moved 10,000 out of el paso. 6,000 migrants moved to other sectors for further immigration enforcement proceedings. 3,400 expelled over to title 42. i want to mention one other thing because this is something we don't talk about enough. since joe biden was elected, 5 million have come in. well, a quarter million of those have been children, who have crossed the border and have been put in the care of so-called sponsors. which is not getting vote vetted. they were getting vetted under donald trump. the numbers are so much that they are not getting vetted. we have actually lost track of 40% of the children who have come across the border. so four in 10 of our government cannot keep track of.

we are seeing, you know, strains on social services. we are also seeing our own government be complicit in child trafficking, child sex trafficking and even slave labor and indentured servitude. many of these kids are coming across. their parents can't afford to pay the fees to the cartels. the cartels want their money back and many of them are being put into -- into, you know, work in slaughter houses across the country, this is absolutely insane. kat cammack from florida called joe biden the trafficker in chief. >> brian: look at these numbers. last week 10,000, in the small town of el paso plus. the week before, 8060. strewn all across the airport. strewn all across the border. it is freezing at night. they are stuck out there. and they're being pushed back to the rio grande river in these makeshift between the national guard and all the other things put together. yesterday bill melugin tweeted out they found three illegals from honduras smuggling two

pounds of fentanyl. 172 pounds of marijuana as they snuck across the border. good thing they were stopped. here's what really sinister. do you know that new ridiculous omnibus they are jamming down our throats of 1.7 trillion? in the budget for the border, funds are prohibited from being used to acquire, maintain or extend the border security technology and the wall. they are going out of their way not to fund any barrier for the wall. that is sickening. >> rachel: if you ever wondered what you are seeing there on your screen is intentional. >> brian: that's the answer. rach racism you it is. i remember going to the border, steve and asking people who live there do you think this is intentional? literally in the town hall of, i don't know, there was 15 people every single one of them, some of them independents, some of them democrats, all raised their hand and said absolutely, we live here. we can tell it's on purpose. >> steve: it's part of joe biden's business plan. is he going to let as many people in as he possibly can

think about it. 5 million so far. i looked -- i used the google machine today, 5 million is everybody in los angeles and everybody in san diego. so, in other words, joe biden has let in a san diego and a los angeles completely during his tenure. and you were talking about the children who have been lost by ice and the department of homeland security? foxnews.com has a story up right now about how our federal government has apparently lost track of 150,000 migrants in 2021 because they were in sump a. >> rachel: rush to get them out. >> steve: get them through they let them out without properly processing them. now they have launched something they call operation horizon to try to find the migrants. it is a big mess. because, when you bring that many people, in i mean, how many people have really been vetted? that's one of the concerns of tennessee senator marsha blackburn. here she is last night on the hannity show. >> since the biden

administration has broken the border, and now we have an open border, and now they're seeing this surge, they have to move them away from the border so this is their plan. send them to other states. send them to other cities and let the taxpayers in those cities and in those states foot the bill. this is a humanitarian crisis. and then you also have the issue with the drugs. the exposure to drugs, the fentanyl that people are experiencing. and the number of services, the amount of services that they are going to need. so, this administration has shown their disrespect and disregard for the states. >> brian: no doubt about it. and their governor came out, bill lee, so you have got to secure the border. putting the burden on the state is not a solution. we should not bear the brunt of the federal government's failures. absolutely dump them into areas of new york.

these small airports, mccarthy airport out east and west chester airport just above new york city and next thing you know they flood into your area and your kid has seven more kids in their classroom and suddenly these other people in your neighborhood. and even the sponsors family program is dicey. even if you are a sponsors family, you are not fully screened. i did something in brent wood where some of the ms-13 were. at love their plans was get these gang members into -- with these other families and then they will come down going to school and create chaos. >> rachel: brian, the numbers are so huge that people are assuming that the vetting and processing is being done by the federal government. that's not true. it's being done by ngos and these ngos can't find enough workers. i spoke with a journalist in el paso who told me the ngo employees who are vetting are high school grads. >> they do not have the skill set to vet. and so that is what you see senator blackburn concerned about. because they are leaving the el paso area under dicey vetting conditions as you just

mentioned. and then they are just being dispersed to your community. >> nobody knows who they're and our government is losing track of them. this is louisville a national security problem. >> steve: somebody feeling it firsthand is tennessee governor bill lee. is he going to be joining us coming up in been b. an hour and a half right here on "fox & friends" for this wednesday. >> rachel: that should grant interview. still ahead ukraine president zelenskyy will meet with president biden at the white house today as congress weighs sending another gift as 1.8 billion in military aid to the region. the battle brewing over endless spending. >> steve: plus, big brother is watching. a girl scout mom was booted from the rockette show across the street at radio city in front of her girl scout troop because of where she works. how facial recognition was used to track her down and kick her out. >> brian: can we borrow that at the border? >> steve: guess who else is come up on "fox & friends" on this wednesday morning. ♪ when you can't see the city lights ♪ everybodiens dancing in the

president biden has invited president zelenskyy of ukraine

to visit washington, d.c. to underscore the u.s.' enduring commitment to ukraine. it goes on to say this, during the visit president biden will announce a significant new package of security assistance to help ukraine defend itself against russian aggression. and while security assistance is the conversation, the two presidents want to have, it's also top of mind for congressional lawmakers who continue to wrestle with how much support is enough congress, you see, is on the verge of passing yet another $45 billion in assistance to kyiv and the year-end omnibus bill which would bring the total to $100 billion in emergency aid to the united states. this from the house speaker nancy pelosi. we are ending a very special session of the 117th congress with legislation that makes progress for the american people as well as support for our democracy. please be present for a very

special focus on democracy wednesday night. again, tipping the hand that zelenskyy will have remarks. but, as the war rages on, g.o.p. lawmakers are asking to cleave ukraine fund from the omnibus stand alone offering. this from thomas massey from the great state of kentucky, kentucky the. we should have a separate vote. most of my constituents do not wish to have their money sent to ukraine, especially not without oversight or an audit. meanwhile, zelenskyy took to twitter to tip his hand about his upcoming visit here to the nation's capitol. on my wayed to the u.p.s. to strengthen resilience and defense capabilities of ukraine, in particular president biden and i will discuss cooperation between ukraine and the u.s. i will also have a speech at the congress and a number of buy lateral meetings here is the house speaker. >> to have complete total hero

in the congress of the united states. leading democracy,ing leading people fight for democracy bring honor to the congress of the united states. >> a total and complete hero. some may not feel that way. some probably do. now, for the record, the u.s. has already spent in excess of, wait for it, $68 billion foe support ukraine since the invasion began. >> steve: as kevin said, now they are asking for another 45 billion. going to put us into spending over $100 billion for ukraine and joe will announce, officially later that they are going to spend these patriot surface to air missiles over there they are going to train their soldiers, the u.s. will train the ukrainians in a third

country. here's the thing, russia has specifically warned. if you give them patriots, we're going to be really p.o.ed. but they are going to do it. >> brian: $1.8 billion. the patriot missile system in major cities will be a game changer, russians proven not to be able to fight. they have the grift and taking a toll on their army. they lose almost every head-to-head clash. as they have been pushed back. they decided to haphazardly bomb out innocence as well as blow up infrastructure. and, finally, i have no -- if joe biden is going to get, in why he is doing it slowly is cruel. but the fact that he is going to give the patriot missile now, 300 days into the war when they asked for it right away, i'm glad he is doing it, but why did it take so long? how much would have been left of ukraine if had you done it earlier and get guided bombs for the fighter jets. the russians have been proven totally inept in the field. there is over 200,000 have

defected rather than get drafted to their country. even vladimir putin weighed in yesterday and said things are extremely tough there. i love, this is to me the most successful proxy war we have ever had. >> rachel: you and i disagree on this. we talk about the money which has been spent. >> brian: it's a lot. >> rachel: this is all borrowed money. >> steve: of course. >> rachel: borrowed money is what is fueling this 40-year inflation in our country. rand paul was talking about this not long ago. he says that the most dangerous thing that's happened. you have the biggest danger for america is that we could be dooming our economy. we could be damaging the u.s. dollar that's for march for dangerous, i would also say because steve, you talked about how p.o.ed as you say the russians will be. i just don't know if our interest are worth provoking russia in a way that could lead. >> steve: strategic interest. >> rachel: nuclear war. again, i'm really concerned about what is happening here

domestically. we have, you know, 40-year high inflation. energy prices up 32%. i'm not convinced. and also the oversight is a big problem. a lot of us don't know where this money is going. >> steve: to your point, kevin mccarthy said as early as october, and again, yesterday on -- with laura, that the united states, when he is in charge of the house, if that happens, there will not be a blank check for ukraine. meanwhile, there was some speculation that mr. zelenskyy is coming right now as congress votes on this omnibus, the $45 billion more, is he coming in person to make a case for that to personally lobby? and the white house said no. they said this is about sending a message to putin and the world that the u.s. will be there for ukraine for as long as it takes. they say it's not for him to lobby. it's for him to lobby. >> rachel: very great debate

going on. >> brian: it is pretty significant. also, when russia goes and invades a country, thoroughly unprovoked we agree on that. >> rachel: yes. >> brian: they say we are going to be upset? wow, you are are going to be upset provoked for a missile defense system that you are haphazardly bombing up cities and blowing up hospitals and torturing a group of people because you feel as though you want their land? russia is totally inseptember. this guy is totally insulated. he has been exposed. if we didn't stop from now estonia and lithuania. little by little take one country back at a time. >> rachel: we probably shouldn't have. >> brian: this is all on them. >> rachel: we probably shouldn't have signaled, you know, nato entrance for ukraine. and i think that probably would have not -- that probably would have done something to halt that my opinion. >> steve: a surprise -- given the fact that russia is now officially angry at the united states, there was a surprise

meeting this morning in china. do you know who went over to china to meet with president xi? the russians. former president medvedev set down with xi to talk about relations between russia and china. isn't that curious? we will talk to congressman brian fitzpatrick from the great state of pennsylvania. he was part of a ukrainian co-del. he is going to share his thoughts about mr. z. going to d.c. today. >> brian: over to carley shimkus for of the news. >> carley: abandoned hyundai elantra spotted in oregon is not the one police are looking for in connection with the quadruple homicide in idaho. the moscow police chief is defending his agency against claims they're not up to the task. >> i know there has been some questions about the leadership in this investigation. what i want people to know is this is a moscow police

department investigation. we're utilizing the resources of the fbi and state police. >> carley: police are still searching for the hyundai spotted near the scene of the attack around the time the four university of idaho students were killed. elon musk says he stepping down as twitter's ce o'deas after users voted for him to step aside. the billionaire says he will stay in charge until he finds somebody, quote, foolish enough to take the job. after that only one twitter's software and service teams. that announcement comes as the tech giant lays off engineers in infrastructure division just days before christmas. it is unclear exactly how many people lost their job. listen to this. a mom gets turned away from seeing a christmas show featuring the rockettes all because of her job. she was chaperoning her daughter's girl scout trip to music hall in new york city. flagged by the event's farnl recognition system and refused entry. the law firm she works for is involved in an ongoing injury

lawsuit against radio city music hall owner james doll lanel. even though she isn't working on the case, she says she was not allowed to enter the venue. a lot of layers to that story there. millions flooding the streets of biewbuenos aires. moving at a snails pace because of the swarm of crowvmentdz look at all those fans. the players were picked up by helicopter as fans took chaotic turn with fans trying to jump onto the bus. when it comes to tv ratings. sunday's match was the most watched world cup final in u.s. history with 16.8 million americans tuning in and a lot more people tuning in worldwide. >> rachel: wow. >> brian: fox has to be happy with those ratings. >> carley: bingo. think i think they are. i will talk to somebody. probably in this building.

>> steve: just not today. >> brian: facial recognition pops out a mom with a 9-year-old. the girl scout troop has to go sit in the place by herself. >> brian: she goes i panicked in 20 seconds i was thrown out. >> steve: it's rockette science. >> rachel: so crazy. >> brian: on this show pays to be unemployed. americans in 14 states could be earning more by simply staying at home. the insane amounts of money people are making off welfare programs with no work required. ♪ i just want to bang on the drum all day. ♪
