griff: not once did brett muskberger say you're looking live at reindeer in training. that's what you're looking at right now. you're looking at sia looking at reindeer in training. we're going to talk to the reindeer coming up later on this

in hour. if you want to hear him -- griff: reindeer can talk? todd: if you're these reindeer, griff jenkins. this fireplace is about to be stuffed as he at 5:00 when i have my christmas eve dinner. within day till christmas. welcome in to the beautiful set. griff: where are the beautiful cookies? >> i ate them. griff jenkins, carley shimkus and todd pyro. welcome to "fox & friends". carley: they're from spruce run farms. i like the placement of them on their head. griff: where else would it go? carley: well, it's like one big thick one right in the middle of the head. todd: can reindeer get cosmetic surgery to move the antlers or shorten them. carley: i'm excited to go out on

fox square later in the show even though it's freezing cold. i've never pet a reindeer before. griff: that's like a horn straight ahead. carley: yeah, it's like a horn straight ahead. it's like the grinch. remember the grinch carton. todd: have you met a real reindeer? carley: this is a first for me. but we're also tracking santa in realtime with the norad santa track and shah gilani he just left -- he just left russia i believe. griff: yeah and todd loves me to bring this up baa that military is running this operation and it is absolutely streamlined, perfect, veryfect. they knew the -- very efficient. i can't pronounce the town he's in. carley: i just got an update and he's heading onto all the other boys and girls in the country.

griff: our reindeer are training to help santa some day. that's their life goal. todd: nod this year because they're here with us but maybe next year. griff: this christmas eve update we have a once in a lifetime winter storm. 46 car pileup and three dead in the crash in ohio. the intense winter weather bringing frigid temperatures and hurricane-force winds to parts of the country. todd: 200 million americans remain under winter warnings or advisories and 1 million customers without power. parts of the midwest even colder than mars, that arctic sea smoke from lake michigan pushing into chicago as the air temperature hovers around zero there. carley: already today, nearly 7500 flight delays and over 3,000 cancellations and the remnants of the storm expect to stick around into next week. fox weather correspondent robert

rayon the ground in georgia with the latest where it's cold in georgia, robert. reporter: yeah, good morning. we're sitting at six, seven degrees in the northeastern suburb of alpharetta and strange to wear an outfit like this in the south on christmas eve. merry christmas to you all and our viewers from the great state of georgia. travel has been a nightmare and i came in from chicago o'hare yesterday into atlanta and what an experience. let's listen to one man's experience trying to get from la guardia into heart field jackson here in atlanta here yesterday. >> i went to the gate and they didn't notify through my app, i was doing ton t tier and the --

frontier and the app never notified me and sat an extra hour and then security notified me and now i'm going to newark because it's the only flights because la guardia is booked. reporter: a mess and here in atlanta, we have housing centers at capacity. listen to this quote, we're at capacity as far as cots are concerned. however, we will never turn anyone away and we'll continue to build capacity to ensure our residents are experiencing homelessness, have a safe and warm place to stay during this extremely cold weather. you know, that's the case really in all these cities up north and even here in the atl. guys, yesterday i was on lake michigan and we look at this video of the arctic sea smoke that i shot freezing cold temperatures there let me

explain some of the phenomena happening and lake michigan temporal integrations at 40 degrees fahrenheit and temps in chicago were negative eight and windchill 35 and 40 below. that creates a hot tub effect and, you know, with the winds kicking up, it's kind of a fog or an arctic sea smoke on lake michigan and other bodies of water. scenes being created because of the air mass and blank oated and most of the country unfortunately people have died and i can tell you here in georgia, we are looking at over 30,000 power outages still in places like the buffalo area, metro area, some of the areas completely powered with snow and actually correspondent max gordon last night had to sleep in his vehicle because the hotel he was in shut down just nasty

situations, but here in the south sunny skies for today, christmas eve as the temps go into the 20s, and we have not seen temperatures like this in nearly ten years and we hope that it's just continuing to get warm because guess what, next weekend, new year's eve weekend could be almost 70 degrees here in the atl, guys. carley: that is crazy. robert ray, stay safe, try and stay warm, get back in that truck. thank you for showing us those images took into consideration especially out of chicago -- too especially out of chicago with the sea smoke. i've never seen anything like that. that. griff: i'll take 70 degrees. carley: yesterday i went to bed at 57 degrees and woke up and it was 12. todd: i iced my driveway in the 47 degree weather in anticipation of the huge weather drop while i slept. carley: something affecting a specific part of the country is the border and yesterday cvp released the november border numbers.

they held off on releasing them until the friday before christmas, which is very notable, and showed a record breaking 233,740 border encounters, that's much more than the number of border encounters this time last year or november 2021. bill melugin has a tweet on this saying reminder, these numbers don't include known got aways and cvp sources tell us at least 73,000 known got aways in the month of november alone. these are people who are detected or seen but no manpower to get them for capture. griff: yeah, a friday night dump. i was talking with plow yen and we cover -- melugin and he and i cover the border a complete we got the numbers and started talking about them. there's been more than 205,000 known got iowa hawkeyes ways meaning the -- got aways meaning the border patrol agents saw them and couldn't bring them

into custody either on camera or a person. you add that to this record november, 233,000 but as earlier in the week, i got -- my cvp sources gave me total number of migrating encounters of this fiscal year beginning october 1, 85 days till today more than 575,000. add to that the 205,000 got aways and not too much math here early on christmas eve morning, but that is the equivalent of more than the populations of pittsburgh and buffalo combined. in just 85 days coming across the border. when you hear the white house karine jean-pierre saying border is not open and the numbers stand in stark contrast of that statement and you hear so many others that have been in this business like tom homan,

former acting ice director and said why he thinks cvp waited to dump this number. >> this time i think the reason they waited so long to dump the numbers because of the omnibus bill. they did not want the numbers released before the bill. it didn't prove effective because too many republicans voted for the omnibus, but i think that's one of the reasons because if these numbers would have come out maybe a few more congressmen or senators stepped up and said we can no longer take these and a record breaking month and we need to do something about border security and we know how it turned out and omnibus came out with zero money for border security. we're in the middle of the biggest historic crisis. going down to the southwest boarder and doing their terrible crisis and national security crisis and comes down to making a difference, they vote for a bill and give nothing to it. todd: i talk to --

griff: i talk to tom almost every day and he points out where we're sitting just a few months, three months into the new fiscal year, we're on a unprecedented crisis trajectory of where we're headed, 2.4 million last year and never seen anything like that and headed for way more november, 233,000 official numbers there. that's way higher than it ever is because of the season that's usually the slowest, todd. todd: coming to the got aways, i'm sure there's nice people in the groups but what are the chances that every single one of the individuals are signing up to be a priest or nun? slim or none. there's a lot of criminals and spreading themselves outs through the homeland and putting an extra burden on law enforcement when the individuals presumably commit another crime and recidivism is something criminals do. to your point, griff, we heard dhs come out and say worst case

scenario, we could see 6 million new migrants this fiscal year. think about that. i mentioned the impact on law enforcement but what about the rest of the infrastructure that's already overburdened in our country? our roads, our schools, our social services and quite frankly most important our hospitals, our hospitals are being slammed having to care for every single one of these individuals that doesn't pay taxes and that is no more sure -- no more certain than what's happening in el paso. listen to dr. robert, the yuma regional medical center and says his hospital is struggling to serve its community, listen. >> we provide the same level of care to migrants as we do to the residents of our community. they'll get the same quality and same everything. the individuals that are coming in that are migrants, you know, people always think they're coming in with coughs and colds but that's not really the case. we have individuals coming n in that need dialysis and heart surgery. there's some traumatic injuries

but a lot of it though interestingly is really complications of chronic disease that have been previously uncared for. there's no payer source for those individuals. we've contacted our state government through our state -- through our senators. we've contacted the federal government and there is -- everybody's sympathetic and they lend a listening ear, but nobody is offering a payer source for these individuals. carley: there's many unintended consequences of the border crisis and that's one and another is cvp seized over 1 million fentanyl pills in nogalis, arizona, at the port of entry in two dais. it's fascinating the moves the biden administration made this week making sure title 42 is kept in place and forcing arizona to take down makeshift border barrier and many say biden is not doing anything when

it comes to the border crisis. they are but all the moves are exacerbating the issue and they're making it worse. griff: there's nothing in the omnibus to try and get under control. you mention by the way who's coming across the border, it's important to point out 98 individuals in fiscal year 2022 last year that hit the terror screening data base and nearly four times the previous five years combined so who knows what we're headed for right now. todd: scary, griff. griff: turning to headlines with fox news alert. one is dead and another grazed by a bullet in a shooting at the mall of america in minnesota yesterday. the suspect reportedly opening fire after an altercation between two groups killing a 19-year-old man. the shooter has not been arrested, but police secured the famous mall and lifted the lockdown late last night. walgreens store in new york city is locking up its ice cream to try and stop scripters and it's that bad. a clerk at the store confirming to fox news digital says "it has

to do with all the shoplifting". new york police saying petty larceny up 43% in the city and nearly doubled in the neighborhood where the walgreens is located. locking up ice cream. if you're tired of peppermint candy canes, you're in for a treat. a couple of companies are releasing unconventional flavors of candicans. i'm over here. hostess coming out with twinkie flavored candy canes and we have pickle flavored ones and present and fun flavored candicans to taste test. those are your headlines. carley: i've been handed the pickle flavor. griff: i'll get the twinkies. i told our field producer i think i ate a twinkie every day of my life. carley: he's a t twinkie guy.

todd: this is good. it's cocoa. carley: this is not good. this is a hard pass for me. griff: i'm fighting with this to open. todd: you guys want to try a hot dog candy cane, plump and juice. carley: it's like no one ever asked for that . i feel like the twinkie flavored ones might be good. griff: i'll let you know if i can open it. do you have nails? todd: give ted the hamburger one. carley: i'll use any teeth. todd: twinkie's not bad. how did you get it open? griff: i got it open. carley: hot dog is not good. griff: who wants a pickle. i'll try hot dog. there's no cream filling. carley: no to pickle and no to

hot dog. to be expected. there's a hot cocoa one, which will be delicious. are we reading the tease? todd: yeah. carley: straight ahead, aoc voted no on nine republicans and nine republicans voted yes for the massive spending bill for democrats and congressman lee zeldin was not one of them and he is next. todd: cue up the greatest graphic in the history of television and universe and surprise for the first days of carley. we have her favorite, taco bell. carley: are you kidding me? todd: it's on a tortilla blanket for your baby boy. stay with "fox & friends" for a very merry christmas and we celebrate by giving carley 12 gifts for the 12 days of shimkus. carley: thank you guys so much. you have no idea. this is my favorite.

griff: well congress is ready to send the $one p $1.7 trillion pe to the president's desk and it passed through the house with the hep of nine republicans you see here.

meanwhile aoc was the sole democrat to vote against. new york congressman lee zeldin is here to tell us why he too was a no vote. congressman, merry christmas to you. >> thank you, merries christmas. griff: the country got the ominous bill passed by the help of nine republicans, what's your reaction? >> well, i was a strong no against this bill. $1.7 trillion, that's a lot of money and that trajectory of federal spend asking out of control and the process is broke and house republicans were cut completely out of the process of creating the bill. what should have happened because you're in a lame duck session is there should be a short term cr, a continuing resolution and they would fund the government into the new year and new congress taking office and more of a republican seat at the table. as i mentioned house republicans didn't have any. title 42 and border security challenges were not properly

addressed in the bill so from the process and the substance, there's a will the of strong opposition by myself and a bunch of my colleagues and last i would add, i want to give a shoutout that the congressman from north carolina called dan bishop. i'd encourage people to go to his twitter account because he lists out a product of a lot of research after reading through over 4,000 pages and finding individual items that shouldn't have been in the bill. griff: lyrics that was my question, have you read all the pages? clearly dan bishop did and good on him and did you get a chance to read it and what stands out as the most egregious to you? >> so first off most egregious is the overall size of the bill, not just with the amount of pages but $1.7 trillion. you have the individual earmarks, individual priorities of members of congress. it's amazing how many people are renaming buildings after themselves. and i just would encourage

people to check out dan's account because, you know, you can read about the funding for -- that's going towards salmon that makes you scratch your head and say, well, is this a proper way to be spending federal tax dollars through congress? or maybe we should be more fiscally responsible. griff: congressman, i got to get your take on one other story and that is you nearly became the next governor of new york and now we learn that the new york legislature gave itself a $32,000 raise despite crime spiking and migrant crisis. now governor hochul has to decide whether or not she'll sign this thing or not. you can see they'd now make if passed, $142,000 and the highest of any state legislature in the country. >> yeah, that should be vetoed in a heart beat. you're going back to albany into a special session just before christmas. what stockings are you going to be stuffing? they choose to solely stuff their own and take money out of yours in order to be able to stuff their own.

what they should be doing is overhauling cashless bail and passing term limits and doing more to tackle the migrant crisis that has come to new york and new york city. there's so much more that should be done to actually represent new yorkers but instead they're just out there representing themselves. it's pretty outrageous, a $32,000 pay raise just in time for their own christmas. griff: how about that? congressman lee zeldin, thank you for taking time and we'll see in governor hochul decides to sign it. thank you, sir. >> thanks, griff. griff: frank sill serviceer is e celebrating the tunnel to tower life changing donations helping families of fallen first responders. hey, frank. ♪

♪ i didn't recollect that is your shot of the carley: that is your shot of the morning and celebrating in fox square with the all american christmas tree. we're one day from christmas day and special christmas eve performance by the beach boys with john stamos later in the show. you'll want to stay tuned for that of course. todd: the season of give asking a season of hope thanks to patriotic nonprofit tunnel to towers. griff: for the fourth year, t2t delivered to four homes across the country and wrapping up by

paying off the mornings for the family of the nine fallen first responders. carley: we're joined by the tunnels to towers foundation ceo frank siller. tell us about the season of hope and how much you've accomplished. >> every year during this season where it's so difficult for so many families because they've lost their loved ones in the line of duty, we want to make sure we bring them peace in their lives by deliver ago mortgage-free home. we did over 40 since thanksgiving to now. some of the families i went to visit, you know, we had the yonkers police officer killed recently and, you know, connecticut, all these and i go and speak to the families and usually go with another fallen first responder widow that comes with me to let them know that their lives will be okay. they're going to come out the other side. but right now we're going to alleviate their problem as far as mortgage is concerned. todd: does reaction from the family change this time of year around christmas? >> of course it does.

well, they're so sad and then you figure you lose your loved one around this time of year, it compounds that. we try to bring them joy into their life and more important hope. letting them know they're not alone. griff: frank, what strikes me is the great work you've been doing for year is not only the work you've been doing for the families but the generosity of the country, our viewers, america, and you got a major donation, $20,000 from operation deep blue. explain that. >> a bunch of crazy people kansas ccanoed from jersey downo washington dc in honor of first responders. carley: that canoed? >> yeah, 21 of them and raised $21,000 for us. we appreciate that. we're blessed at tunnel two towers foundation is blessed

that we have thousands of things like that happen to us all yearlong. it's going to pay off the mortgage for the fallen first responders or gold star widows and they see where their money is going and that's why they want to donate to us and 91% of every dollar goes to our program. carley: we might be see ago different side of frank coming up because fox is celebrating new year's in nashville. will, pete and rachel will be joining in and you're joining in on the fun. >> i sing a song and i bet you didn't know i sing and my wife does and leaves the room every time. i'll have the honor to be down there with everybody to bring in the new year and going to be with some families we've helped over the years. carl hauser is coming and nicole has been a great supporter for

a fox and little friends. does anybody else have that or is this a carley original? todd: it's a carley original. 12 days of carley continues on our christmas eve show.

carley: we're back with a fox weather alert and once in a

generation winter storm blasting across the united states leaving icy roads and causing pileups and 12 people have died so far because of the storm and 200 million americans remain under winter weather warnings and advisories and 1 million customers are still without power as much of the country faces single digit temperatures. so far this morning over 8,000 flights have already been delayed with more than 3500 cancellations. that number keeps on going up as the storm continues to reek havoc. turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth with the fox forecast. rick: carley, you can celebrate on the 27, 28, or 29th once you get home to see mom finally. that might be what has to happen for people stuck in the airports because you might not be able to make it this weekend because it is so cold and across the roads the snow is falling and wind is there and whiteout conditions that make things really dangerous. these are still our temperatures

if you get stuck on one of the roads and air temperatures are this cold, it becomes really dangerous really quick. 32 degrees right now in brownsville, 23 in dallas and 49 in miami, even parts of florida are really cold. this is the coldest air in decades and at freezing in tampa and frost advisories and hard freeze warnings across parts of the deep south and across areas of the rio grand valley and cold air settling down across the south as well and not as cold in the south as the north and not as used to it in the south as north. all of the area with blue, it is at least at freezing and this is all the culprit of the storm and we'll watch the winds across the great lakes and watch a major lake effect for buffalo and this here could pile up three to 4 feet by the time it's done with air temperatures five degrees. unbelievable. todd, over to you. todd: british police arrested a

women after silently praying over a abortion clinic in new england. isabel vaughn joining tucker bruce last night to sound off. >> it's not about those that support abortion or don't support abortion, it's freedom of thought and it's gone further than freedom of prayer and we talk about the cancel culture and the concerns we have about people being canceled, you know, speaking in public -- maybe public speaking engagements but to be arrested somebody for what they're thinking, it's just gone even a step further. todd: knocks news contributor and author of the lies men who found christmas. raymond arroyo is here with his reaction. great to be here. happy merry christmas eve to you, sir. what's your reaction to this? >> first of all, this is part of a curious law, todd, called the public spaces protection order. it's all over the uk, these local governments enforce it but not only is praying in these

designated zones illegal, but even the idea of private mental prayer, making the sign of the cross can get you arrested. this really needs to be looked at by the uk and citizenery there and 40-days of life are pushing back because they'd like to talk to women approaching the abortion clinics, but just generally what else is there? antisocial behavior, passing gas and wearing flip-flops outside. that's the rubric under which this falls and a back handed compliment in the season here, todd, it's an acknowledgement from the government that prayer changes things and needs to be watched and maybe that's of something worth noting during this season when i think we're all looking for the light. todd: raymond, beyond that, this is part of the war on religion that's not just happening in the united states.

this is now worldwide. how much broader does this get, raymond? >> well, we have bubble zones here in the united states where depending on -- this is the danger of this uk order, it's elastic, todd. it can include other things. it was founded to stop public drunkenness and people attacking -- yelling at people on the street. but now it's expanded to whatever the local magistrates think it should constitute. that is a danger, and we are seeing some of that here in the united states, particularly those who silently pray outside these abortion clinics, they should be allowed to speak, to pray privately and quietly for people entering the clinic. it's an abridgement of basic human freedoms but getting to thought, this woman was asked what were you thinking? were you praying and said i was praying in my head. that's what they interrogated her over. this is a dangerous align that i think we've cro crossed and lets hope local governments don't get any ideas.

todd: no war on religion here on "fox & friends" and you call it christmas and there's a message for us here. what is it? >> at the risk of sounding like king charles with christmas proclamation and i learn add couple of lessons -- learned a couple of lessons writing this book and first the wisemen chased a light and beautiful that hon kansas city chiefs and christmas is -- hanukkah and christmas is overlapping but the wisemen chase add light and think the star led them to the christ child. no, the star goes out. they saw the glimmer of that light and then they chased that truth even through the darkness, even through their confusion and that's where we find ourselves throughout the year. it's in the darkness that light blossoms brightest, and often we find what we seek, truth, light, real hope by pushing through that darkness, continuing the journey. that's what these wisemen did and to our jewish brothers and sisters, there's a fascinating theory.

i subscribe to in our fox nation special on the wisemen that founder christmas where the wisemen may have been members of the first temple jewish priesthood and high royal priesthood looking for this messiah and that's a cool connection i think between the old ways and the christian faith. a fascinating connection and i hope it brings light to everyone this christmas season. merry christmas to yogis. todd: that is wild and fascinating. the book is called "the wisemen that found christmas" by raymond arroyo. merry christmas to you, friend. carley: authorities in california seized enough fentanyl to kill the entire population of north america twice over. california officials snatching 28,000 pounds in 2022. it has an estimated street value of more than $230 million. that's nearly 600% more than amounts seized last year. the numbers are staggering and

this maybe because she's pregnant. then pickles. put pickles on there. that's the entire sandwich. >> if she's pregnant, what's my excuse? >> that took literally, what, 45 seconds to make a sandwich that's off the chart delicious. i'll tell you, you guys, this sandwich, when i went down to visit my daughter mary and son peter, they took us to a place and they had this on the menu and it's like we have to put that in our new simply happy cook book and that's one thing we have in there. how do you like it? griff, it's new for you. what do you think? >> that's fantastic. my mouth is full while you're doing that. carley: steve, it doesn't make sense why it's so good. it could because it's sweet and salty but would have never thought about this but it's delicious. >> it's like a modified chick and waffles and everybody makes french toast around this time of year and make extra pieces and save for run and have do it that

way. something else we've got and you've got this in studio, this is -- we call this brookies and one of our long time producers came up with this recipe because one day her sons got two boys, one wanted cookies and the other wanted brownies so she said, i'll make both. unfortunately she only had enough eggs for one of them and cake up with a brownie/cookie, brookie recipe and this is what it looks like. i know you've got those in studio as well. c oh my gosh, it's not fair. it's not fair. griff: you have to be joey which he is nut to do this show -- chestnut to do this show. >> all the recipes are in the cook book and this looks like a christmas tree and people will do deviled eggs but rather than slit them in half, stand them up like that and cathy suggested putting a little dill in the top to make it look like a christmas tree.

it's adorable. if you go to somebody's house, we do this, called the a to ziti loaf. when you take a casserole to somebody's house, you never get it back. taking a page from panera, there's a bread bowl and filled with ziti and we'll put cheese on top and this is pretzel bread and we'll bake this and take to someone's house. all really simple recipes for the person on your list that wants to make 2023 really simple in the kitchen. todd: that ziti thing is mott making it over here and i'll do the 9:00 a.m. and i'll explode. >> this would be todd pyro lunch. carley: these are all so delicious and you take a lot of time to create them. congratulations on the success of this book.
