don't really do gifts for each other. and you said it well, it is a gift to each other not to have to do gifts. >> carley: is a gift to me to not have to shop for him. he's just not a material -- i mean -- >> brian: he is so easy to shop for. >> carley: he doesn't like anything material. clothes, he doesn't like. >> brian: does he like sports? get him a poster. >> carley: what is he, 16 years old? >> will: what is this, 1984? >> brian: get him a poster and get him cleats. >> carley: brian, you will not be doing my christmas shopping! the senate is back in session and lawmakers are expected to hold a vote on a massive $1.7 trillion spending package as the friday deadline looms. >> brian: and title 42 remains in limbo as the border continues to be overwhelmed with migrants. >> will: grady trimble is live in arizona with the latest.

grady? >> good morning, will, carley, and brian. we are essentially smack dab between yuma and el paso. those areas are dealing with that influx of migrants crossing into the u.s. the biggest problem here, though, is smuggling. this road right here where i'm standing is one of the main smuggling corridors for people and drugs coming from mexico. we have seen both during our time here this week, and you can imagine the challenges that poses for business owners in this area. this is his auto repair shop. you deal with a whole host of issues because of the high-speed chases that go on in this area to catch smugglers, not to mention migrants illegally coming into the u.s. and breaking your windows and property. >> that has happened in the past and stuff like that. it hasn't happened as of probably the last three or four months or anything like that. but we have had to take it to where we've had to put padlocks on the restrooms from people

breaking into that. down at my residences, just down the road here little bit, they are going into my rv trailers and sleeping in them and stuff like that. i'm not looking to arrest these people are anything like that. it's the invasion of privacy and coming across quite a bit now. >> and you are worried about your family 'safety. we have witnessed the high-speed chases. they throw out the spike strips and stop the car smuggling drugs and people, and sometimes they go into oncoming traffic. that's a concern, too. >> i believe it was last week, maybe the week before, we had a high-speed chase that they terminated right in this parking lot. they've had law enforcement all around the area, people going out on the ground. while they were doing the processing, the drivers of the vehicle tried to get out and run. and we are right in the middle of doing business.

>> with title 42 expiring, just quickly, you don't think that biden administration has a plan in place? >> no. the biden administration, the government, it is broke. i don't know what else to say. >> carley, will, and brian, you can imagine the challenges the businesses here deal with, that the people who live here deal with, and this is on a daily basis. in some cases, multiple times a day they are seeing these events. >> will: grady, thank you for that. just a few miles i wrote dumbing down the road we spoke to jorge ventura from "the daily caller." he estimated 400-500 illegal immigrants from all across the globe waiting to get right into the communities like that. >> brian: they talked about how the border is broken. senator cortez masto said we had cracked out of the border. we heard about it from

senator maggie hassan. where is the leadership? outside of kyrsten sinema who sat down with fox news digital and said there was a problem and it's never been settled, and this has got to be addressed, and the president should be here. where are the democrats now that the election is over? >> carley: your interview with jorge ventura was very good. and the images he was showing is something that people along the southern border see all the time, but people in other parts of the country do not, except if you're watching fox news. he said he was meeting people from 25 different countries including afghanistan. we have a little bit of a clip of what he was telling you, will, earlier in the show. watch this. >> this is a massive line of migrants from literally all over the world. russia, peru, colombia, paraguay, cuba. just to name a few. it's not going to fit in this shot. these were smuggled in by mexican cartels in the middle of the night. it's one of the most sophisticated human smuggling operations here in yuma. it starts at 2:00 in the morning. what makes this location

different from texas easy will meet migrants smother then, russia, peruvian, all over the world. according to the mayor of yuma, we can't even see street releases like we saw in el paso. yuma county has already declared an emergency, so they are waiting on what's going happen with title 42. it is all eyes on title 42 right now. >> will: that was live earlier this morning on "fox & friends." let's bring in my cohost, pete hegseth commented react to what you're seeing there. good morning, pete. >> good morning, guys. merry christmas to you all. on a lighter note, brian, i would love a sports poster. i've always wanted one, i can't get one. >> brian: if she's listening, that's more than a hint. that's a request. >> it's a request for sure. we are talking border, but i wanted to give my stamp of legitimacy on that. we are making a few marks on our

southern border. the path is clear because migrants know it's open. brian, i heard you talk about democrat senators who ran on talking the border, and they aren't anymore. that doesn't surprise me at all. it's like campaign conservatives. they are campaigning on common sense to appeal the voters to know there's a problem. then, when it comes to doing the bidding of their caucus, they are willing to, because it's the modern democrat party, and other dissenting voices available unless you want to spend more money to process migrants more quickly, where you want to give amnesty. that's where they always go with the conversation. this is going to be a dreamer for .0, 5.0. what path can legal citizenship can democrats attempt to give away to them while they extort republicans over minor border security measures? here is what kills me about the omnibus bill. i know you've been talking about it all morning long. we've got an omnibus bill that

is going to get past, which no one has read, which includes nothing for border security. but it does include money to secure the borders of the countries of jordan, nepal, lebanon, egypt, tunisia, oman, and pakistan. and the staggering images of zelenskyy, we may talk about this, as well. can you imagine kamala harris or nancy pelosi holding up the texas flag behind the president because they are standing in solidarity with texas, who is facing an invasion right now? because that's what it is. in other generations, when we had citizens with backbones, we would call it treason what's happening at our southern border. with a backbone, you know it's an invasion, you stand up with those people they are, they won't. instead they are cheerleading for a country 5,000 miles away that has a border dispute, i acknowledge that, but they ignore completely what's happening to our own citizens on their own soil. >> carley: this omnibus bill,

$1.7 trillion, 4,100 pages, three times the length of the bible. i do have senator rick scott saying he knows that nobody is going to read it, because they just don't have time. senator mike lee is talking about the fact that it has nothing to do with border protection at all, all this massive spending. he's trying to change that. he was on "hannity" last night. >> this bill is full of democratic priorities. it does nothing to protect the border. to the contrary it contains language undermining border security. i insist we have at least one amendment, up or down vote, on whether to preserve title 42, because title 42 is the one thing standing between us and other chaos. we have mostly cast, this would bring us to utter chaos if it expires, which it's about two. all he want his number down vote. chuck schumer and the democrats are terrified of an up or down vote. why? because they want absolute

pandemonium and chaos on the border, and they are terrified of this vote because they will lose, as they should lose. so i am standing firm, i'm going to demand an up or down vote. if they don't give us the up or down vote, this is going to be very difficult for them and it probably will cost them the omnibus. >> carley: what you think about that? >> good for him! whatever tool republicans have at their disposal at this point, they should be using. if they can force votes over things that are common sense, they should force them. mitch mcconnell has completely abdicated his responsibility as an opposition leader at this point, willing to push a bill that would handcuff the acquisitions and funding process for seven months into the new year, where kevin mccarthy and the republicans will not have a chance to set their terms. he's going along with nancy pelosi instead. it's mind-blowing in the way washington works. they don't want to vote for this title 42, which is barely a band-aid. you guys know that. common sense tells them they should vote for it, politically

speaking, but they don't want it. this administration says they don't want title 42. so they don't want to have to vote on it. they'd love for it to just fade away and the border, as mike lee said, to move into even more chaos. >> brian: you are prohibited from using any of this money, the $1.7 trillion, on border security. you can only do it for border facilities. real quick, since yesterday -- obviously will and i pretty much disagree with each other. a lot of people are disagreeing. your sense with president zelenskyy's address and the money pledged to the war effort? >> and probably with will on this, brian. i love you, but this to me is a war we will continue to fund and escalate and escalate with no clear sense of what an end state is. this is a war that nancy pelosi loves, a proxy war on donald trump against vladimir putin for, as she says, "the sake of democracy," which is an ever-floating where that

they insert anything they want into. this has been from the beginning for letting me put in a "give me my stuff back" war, 5,000 miles away. i think it's great ukraine is fighting back the way they should, but the further we entangle ourselves, the more we create unintended consequences we can't control. as someone who saw what happened in iraq and afghanistan, the goodness americans poured into that in the sideways way in which those things ended, i just wish we would throw a special session for our border states to get them what they need, not a country 5,000 miles across the world which ultimately -- i don't see the american interest involved. whatever outcome happens. tell me where it ends. >> brian: it ends with russia stopped invading and swallowing regions. and moldova. and then estonia. >> i don't want my kids fighting over the donbas or moldova or

estonia. he is no threat except for the energy policies europe has done to itself. he will leave the nuclear missis anyone does, i understand that, but energy wise that's the biggest threat that europe faces, and they pretty much did it to themselves. if europe is invaded by the russian army, then they are having to defend themselves the way they should. we've been there for how long, since world war ii? if they believe there's a set of the border like israel surrounded by muslim countries, they should build an army prepared to defeat it, not rely on the american taxpayer to defend them. >> brian: it's been the model for 60 years, though. it's nato and we do the bulk of the military support for nato. >> carley: it's a good debate. thank you so much. >> will: thanks, pete. >> brian: fox news alert now, a severe christmas week storm pummeling the midwest, bringing low visibility and subzero temperatures in some spots.

relations committee in the audience at that joint session yesterday. your take away? >> my big take away on this is that zelenskyy is not the problem. i think it's perfect for ukraine. he's the leader that ukraine needs. what's going on in washington very much is the problem on a number of fronts. washington has no idea what he wants to extract from russia. i'll give you a quick example on that. this war is far from over but there's people here planning to spend u.s. tax dollars to rebuild ukraine instead of demanding that russia be advised that they are going to pay for everything to rebuild ukraine. that is something we should be extracting. we are not looking to extract anything. we are not all in and not all out. you have joe biden coming in front of the american people saying what we are doing is not escalating, it's not escalatory. that is b.s. everything we do is escalatory, and i am at peace with that, but he's not at peace with america being what america is.

which should be the hero. vladimir putin is comfortable being what he is, which is the bad guy. this is a very specific issue we face as americans. >> brian: imagine if we gave them the patriot missile before it happened. imagine if we gave them the smart bomb technology to put on their bombs before this took place. there wouldn't be the destruction of the infrastructure, correct? >> you could say that 100% accurately. imagine if we said we were going to enforce a no-fly zone, the list goes on and on. but you didn't have any administration that came before the american people and said, "hey, listen, this isn't going to be a situation where there's no cost. there will be a cost to it, but if america does this, you can destroy the russian military for the next decade. you can cost $40 billion, the russian military a trillion dollars, and these are not the strategic objectives taking place. and they are still not taking

place in washington. >> brian: there is no way they stop here. he saw what they did in georgia, in crimea. you knew they were rattling the cages. they want to reconstitute the soviet union. that's what his job was. that's what his speeches said he was going to do. do you think we have effectively explained that? >> i don't think there's been a good x donation to the american people and a lot of that goes to joe biden and his unwillingness to speak truth to this. i have a firm belief that, where there an incursion into nato territory, article five wood 100% be invoked and stood by 100%. i believe that very, very firmly. but in the face of this, there is just -- they are not looking for a nuclear demilitarization, or demilitarized zones, or war crime tribunals, or putin out of power. there are no strategic objectives being looked at.

>> brian: then what does the end look like? >> it looks like we continue to limp along as has been disc discussed. he can wait out american sup support, and the politics of the situation, to eventually turn the war and his savior because ukraine is not going to get the support. without laying out a plan for how we actually win instead of how we just help ukraine defend itself, that will be what takes place. >> brian: and you have a situation now where iran is now playing a role. how long will china sit on the sidelines as they watch the russian military be humiliated because they can't fight and they have terrible weapons? they have no bases, and 200,000 people left their country rather than get drafted. this has been a disaster for them. >> china sees something even more important than this, in my opinion, and it's about the u.s. military industrial base and the ability to ramp up our supply lines.

if we are having a struggle to supply ukraine, nato, other entities with everything they need, and our own military, and they were to kick off something with taiwan simultaneously, i think they realize america can be in a pinch when it comes to that situation. semiconductors, a host of other things in our supply chain, and they are willing to exploit t that. >> brian: thanks so much, congressman. have a great christmas. the western u.s. and great plains are being battered by what experts are calling and warning could be a once-in-a-generation winter storm. parts of the country already extremes and wideouts. the system is expected to impact nearly every state and cripple christmas traveled this weekend. over 1100 u.s. flights had already been canceled today and nearly 5,000 delayed. meteorologist adam klotz joins us now. >> good morning, brian. this is being driven by some absolutely frigid air where folks are waking up with fields-like temperatures, the wind plus the temperature

outside, negative 30, negative 40. i saw as low as negative 50 this morning in the northern plains and that's all part of this larger system that is bringing an absolute blizzard to parts of the midwest and the planes, and you see that rain go up the east coast where you can see some flooding here later today. currently we have blizzard warnings from iowa stretching back into the dakotas, but the winter advisories are covering the entire midwest and down into the south, then back across the northern plains states. there are a large area six. sing this winter weather. there was fields-like temperatures will get even deeper by tomorrow. this is tomorrow morning. what will it feel like when you wake up? north texas, negative two or 3 degrees, negative 23 degrees in chicago. it'll be absolutely frigid. you can continue to follow the story by downloading the fox weather app. back up to you. >> brian: think you. still ahead, the new sky high amount. job applicants expect before saying yes, you're not going to believe it. tony robbins is here to change your life, next.

scary place." or that the whole world is going to end in 12 years, which we all know is b.s. but it has gotten into people's psyche. that fear starts to take over. when fear takes over, people just basically freeze. so there is a combination right now, a scarcity of jobs because so many people have dropped out of the job market. it's not because there are so many access jobs. it's because people aren't working. he said one of the reasons why. it's obvious. for a long time we have made people stay at home. >> will: you brought up men not working. i think the number in 1968 was 97% of men were either working or looking for a job. today it's 89%. that still sounds high on the surface, but if one out of every ten men isn't interested -- and this is working-age men -- then you are talking about a massive problem for the american society. >> there's no question about it. the question is what is needed. what is needed is people need to have something they can look forward to. let's be honest, it's going to

get worse before it gets better paid i'm not here to b.s. anybody. we will have more inflation and more challenges, and you'll hear numbers like you did today. but in the second quarter we said we had a million new jobs in it or not to be 10,000. so we are going to have tough times ahead. here's what i can tell you, historically. people who are very weak eventually get strong based on necessity. you look at the history of the world, it looks like this. weak people create lousy times. that's how it happens. i should say, good times create weak people, weak people create lousy times, lousy times create strong people, strong people create great times. think about the greatest generation. they were looked down on like some people look down on millennials or zs. that they don't have a work ethic, they don't care. well, they grew up for the first ten years seeing world war i, cars, music, radio, all this new technology.

they dreamed, "i'm going to have my first car." they turned 19, it's 1929, all of the sudden the whole world is upside down. and they go ten years a depression, then what happens? hitler invades poland and it looks like the world is going to end. these people became incredibly strong because the times necessitated it. we have not had those types of times that we are entering now. we are in a winter season. we go through 20-year periods where there's an overall theme of emotion. there is the times when it's fall, would it's easy, people want to give you housing, everything comes easy. but every fall is followed by a winter time, a challenging time that makes us get stronger. after that we have a spring time where it becomes easy again, and a hot summer. it's the nature of humanity to be tested. so i think the generation that is here right now, it doesn't look like they are prepared. but out of necessity it's going to happen. they have also been around where there are plenty of jobs. you want to work a place that

gives you lunch and dinner and you have some wine for lunch. nec twitter and some of these tech companies laying off 8,000 and 10,000 people each. i'm not worried. i'm just trying to bring people the skills and the environment so they can retool themselves. let's be honest, 40% of the jobs today, you look at studies from harvard or oxford, there could be gone over the next 15 years. what happens when happens when all of a sudden there's just one technology, like self-driving cars, they finally figured out, and it's 5-10 years? there's 5 million jobs of people who do uber driving and texting driving and trucks. he was going hire and pay for their insurance when they want more money, when they can run a truck that runs 24 hours a day is more effective? is so we are entering a world where we have to retool ourselves and for the averment we are in. but the challenges force us out of necessity to find the answers. >> brian: will come back and talk about the plan and opportunity the people are going to have for you.

you're not just telling people, you give them a plan. that's one of your great assets. and you have many. back in a moment with more tony robinson. ay usa we have a noble purpose. our purpose is not just closing a loan. we want to do whatever's best for the individual service person. we want to be known as america's mortgage company for veterans and active-duty service people, and they and their families. we're the ones there to help them. people are doing hard, arduous, difficult, dangerous things. some of them are giving their lives right now, today, for the freedoms that we have here in this country. they're willing to do that for you, for me, and for our family. so for us, at newday, to have the opportunity to turn around and help those people at this point in time. it's a labor of love, it's a noble service,
