"fox & friends." now the news, fox news alert. laken riley's murder trial begins this morning after the illegal immigrant accused waived his right to a jury. how that could impact the case. >> ainsley: r.f.k. jr. getting

pushback after donald trump selects him as the hhs secretary. some experts are rallying behind the choice. >> r.f.k. lost your mind. take a backseat. let the professionals in this space handle it. >> lawrence: i love her. >> ainsley: me too. >> lawrence: president trump cabinet picks shaking up washington and getting an intro from sylvester stallone. >> nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off. guess what? we got the second george washington. congratulations. [cheers] >> lawrence: does brian kilmeade agree? >> brian: you will find out only if you watch the second hour of "fox & friends." >> lawrence: second hour of "fox & friends" darts right now. >> brian: get dressed. >> lawrence: president-elect donald trump revealing another cabinet member at an event as night. >> ainsley: latest appointment comes as washington reacts to r.f.k. jr. hhs secretary. >> brian: bill melugin is in west palm beach, florida. bill?

>> bill: good morning to you. trump is really starting to go rapid fire with these announcement for his administration. he made seven of these picks yesterday alone. the last of which happened right here in florida last night regarding north dakota governor doug burgum. take a listen. >> i won't tell you the name of his exact name. i think he is incredible person mighting be something like burgum. is he from north dakota. is he going to be announced tomorrow for a very big decision set. going to head the department of interior and is he going to be fantastic. >> bill: biggest headline of the day yesterday was trump's announcement that he is nominating r.f.k. jr. to be his hhs secretary. some democrats have already come out in opposition to that with house minority leader hakeem jeffries saying he is not impressed with that pick. take a listen. >> this is america's very best? ised this best that america has to offer to safeguard the health and well-being of the american people? of course it's not.

and that's problematic and it's an unfortunate sign perhaps of what is to come. >> bill: trump made a handful of other nominations yesterday. some include doug collins who trump is tapping to lead the department of veterans affairs e is also announcing he wanted to blanch as his deputy attorney general. blanch, of course, defended donald trump during hush money trial. meanwhile incoming senate majority leader john thune says they are going to look at every option to get these picks through as fast as possible for president trump. take a listen. i think we have to have all the options on the table. these nominees deserve their day in court. we are not going to allow the democrats to thwart the will of the american people and giving president trump the people that he wants in those positions to implement his agenda. >> bill: during his interview with our colleague bret baier, senator thune confirmed that one of the options on the table that they could potentially look at

are recess appointments, which would be a way to skip over the senate confirmation process. send it back to you guys. >> brian: that would certainly create some drama. thank you so much, bill. >> ainsley: all options are on the tactical though. >> brian: do me r.f.k. is emblematic what donald trump wants to do. he wants to disrupt the system. we all became a little bit more cog nay zandt of what is going on with health and human services during the pandemic. and it brought a lot of scrutiny and brought r.f.k. forward. he was talking about the vaccines. he was talking about health. he was talking about what was in our food. dr. makary writes an incredible book and kelly and casey means writes a book. joe rogan talking about it. we were exposed to maybe our companies coming together to put together frankenstein food really since the 170s that they are getting us chronically sick. did i not know this but up until the birth control pill, most people were not on daily medication until the birth control pill. and now everyone is on everything that you talk.

to say i mean, you see the list. if you go to the doctor. what medications are you on? most people are checking every box. >> lawrence: what's his resume, ainsley? >> ainsley: he has done a lot. very impressive. founded water keeper alliance, which is the world's largest clean water alleged advocacy group. he founded children's health defense address childhood chronic disease. named "time" magazine hero for the planet. he attended harvard, the london school of economics, pace university school of law. and then in 2008, barack obama considered him to run the epa. he didn't get that job, but he was definitely on the short list. >> lawrence: he has a lot of stuff that he wants to do. i guess the main take away and i have noticed this about a lot of the cabinet members, where have you this outrage. the president-elect campaigned on this. we knew r.f.k. was going to be somewhere in the administration. we didn't know the exact position. but he campaigned on letting r.f.k. go crazy when it comes to health. and what's going to be for our

children. and changing the way that we do food. so, i don't understand the backlash from people so astonished that donald trump picked him for this position. the last thing i would say is hakeem jeffries' statement about is this our very best? have you seen the current administration? have you seen kamala harris? >> brian: have you seen. >> lawrence: pete buttigieg? is this our very best right now? so the audacity of him to criticize this administration right now. before they even do thing. >> brian: "new york post" editorial didn't like a lot of his answers when they interviewed him. wide swathe people against him. the "new york post" against him. the governor of colorado isn't. jared polis. >> lawrence: a democrat. >> brian: that the president-elect will appoint r.f.k. jr. hhs secretary. so he goes on to sing his praises. so, goes across the board. you got to do your own research. >> ainsley: when r.f.k. was sitting here he said when my uncle was president, 6% of

americans had chronic disease. now it's 60% of americans. and he said we have the sickest children in the world. one in three children is a diabetic or prediabetic. he gave examples. >> we talked about the mcdonald's thing. he said in england there is three ingredients in your mcdonald's french fries, it's potatoes, tallan fat and salt. in ours, 17 ingredients and he says not one of them is healthy for you because of the way they cook it. he said is he not against -- he is not against fast food. he just wants to improve our fast food and go back to the way it used to be when we didn't have all of these dyes. wants to take all the dyes out of our cereals, loaded with carcinogens. you can't afford to pay for bad food or you will pay for later on. >> brian: jillian michaels on this nomination. >> this collaboration of this toxic quartet of the way big

farm farming, bic food picks up those calories and tinker with it more with their food scientists to make it more addict tia. to say make it omnipresent. then big pharma catches us on the other side and starts treating all of our sicknesses with all the diseases won't touch on big insurance and how they play a role because there isn't enough time. the bottom line is look at the worldthis simple. what they're doing isn't working. isn't not working on purpose because it's profitable for the few. it's bankrupting americans. number one cause of bankruptcy health related condition. it's killing them. if you are afraid of r.f.k., you have lost your mind. take a backseat. let the professionals in this space handle it and thank god when it starts improving. period. >> lawrence: last thing i would say on the nominations let the hearings take place lit the debate take place and make a decision after that. we have name calling of people

our colleague pete hegseth calling him a white supremacist based on a tattoo he has that says god's will. i just find it despicable before these folks get to go out there and present their case. people already also fights in wars and i'm sure we're going to be talking to him soon about this. he is going to be front and center. good luck trying to outtalk him. he knows how to handle himself. about to find that out. for the first time last night we had a chance to hear the president at length talk about his remarkable victory. not only winning the electoral vote overwhelmingly. every battleground state. gaining in every single stated. gaining in every state. even states he didn't win. 49 out of 50. hispanics, with blacks, all minority groups, asians, and it's just comprehensive. and he just looks so comfortable

and reflective and grateful. and then another celebrity walked up and said by the way, this has been my guy all along. here's sylvester stallone. we are in the presence of a really mythical character. i love mythology. this individual does not exist on this planet. nobody in the world could have pulled off what he pulled off, so i'm in awe. [applause] and i will just say, this and i mean it, when george washington defended his country, he had no idea idea he was going to change the world. without him, can you imagine what the world would look like. guess what, we have got the second george washington. congratulations. [cheers] ♪ proud to be an american. >> please welcome the president of the united states, donald trump! thank you. ♪ won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me

♪ and i gladly stand up. >> thank you very much. wow. thank you, sly. you know, sly does not do that. he doesn't do that stuff and he did a beautiful job. >> ainsley: that was cool. what were you thinking? >> brian: i knew he was pro-trump. i didn't know he was going to go public like that. a couple of things. i think more and more hollywood people just coming out and saying it. i don't like this political correctness. i don't like what it's done to the business. i don't like what it's done to every single script. i don't like what it does with education. it wasn't conservative. it was common sense. he kept saying that and i will add one more thing. other leaders were there. the first leader to show up and graduate in person, javier malou of argentina. he is the trump of argentina. bowl son narrow the trump of brazil. working his way back to brazil. the outlier is becoming the

mainstreamer. >> lawrence: i'm curious, brian, comparison to george washington as our history guy what would you say to that. >> brian: teddy roosevelt said corporations too big. i'm a rich guy but for the little guy. a republican. progressive republican in many ways a lot of republicans to this day don't love him. i look more at teddy roosevelt came in and first celebrity president. he was bigger than life. he was a war hero. he changed the way our bureaucracies governor of new york. tried to sideline by making him vice president where did you go -- where careers go to die when mckinley gets shot this young guy became president and he changed everything. and then he tried to run as a third party after losing but pulled it off. did get more votes than the republican. it gave us woodrow wilson which many people feel is a huge problem. >> ainsley: what we heard when we were at diners and talking to voters was the economy. and couldn't afford food. he went into the grocery store.

he gave that mom $100 bill and cut down her costs, obviously. and we interviewed her. donald trump was telling a story about sharing a story about -- i think she is an older woman. and she couldn't afford the apples, three apples, we have heard him talk about that story. talked about it yesterday. listen to this. >> the groceries too high. when you think about that that's a very, very bad thing. i talked about that a lot in the will last couple weeks. talked about a woman got three apples, an old woman. she had three apples, and she brought them up to the cash register looked at the woman ised that the right price in the woman said yes, ma'am, i'm sorry. that's okay. could you wait one minute? and she took one of the three apples and she brought it back to the refrigeration and she came back gently up to the cash register and paid for three apples instead of three. that should not be happening in

our country that should not be happening here. it's not going to happen here. we're going to make it a much different place. [applause] going to slash energy costs. bring down the costs generally speaking. >> lawrence: i will say this. all this talk about the democratic party doing some type of report to figure out what went wrong. i mean, it's not rocket science. why is the billionaire being more relatable, telling the american people stories right now and the democratic party, who was supposed to be the party of the working class, they didn't tell those stories. they didn't say people were struggling. >> brian: he or him, what pronoun did you want to be recognized as. >> lawrence: it's so -- they are making this more complicated than it really is we have been telling these stories for years now and people made fun of barbershop and tell these stories. >> ainsley: barber shops that's when i realized wow, a fourth of the black men voted for donald

trump. >> lawrence: incredible. >> ainsley: you said they all want to provide food for their family. they want more money -- they want to take home more of their paycheck and not give it back to the government or have to pay so much at the grocery store. that was the issue. and that's when it was i felt like he was going to win. >> lawrence: tide changing. >> brian: david brooks writes about in the "new york times." what did everyone miss? people are tired being divided up in ethnicities. blacks like this, whites like this, guys like this. define people on civil rights movements when people want to be defined as americans. we're done with the labels. steve. >> lawrence: we saw all the people leaders in each community being paid or production company were being paid. so, we're smarter than that. the voters rejected that. and now the president-elect has a shot to make good on his promises. >> brian: told transparency we are being paid. we are. just making sure people know. >> lawrence: not by a campaign. >> brian: that's true. fox news alert.

trial for the illegal immigrant accused of killing nursing student laken riley begins in georgia. >> lawrence: his fate is set to be decided by a judge. >> ainsley: chanley painter joins with us a preview. >> good morning. the fate of 26-year-old undocumented venezuelan man jose ibarra now solely in the hands of a judge after waiving his right to a jury trial earlier this week. today the family of 22-year-old laken riley is expected to fill the gallery of the courtroom as prosecutors again presenting evidence of how the nursing student was viciously attacked while out on a run the morning of february 22nd, 2023. the deci defendant, jose ibarra pleaded not guilty to 10 counts, malice murder, aggravated murder, kidnapping with intent to rape among other charges in an indictment that accuses him of hindering riley's attempts to call 911 and concealing a jacket and gloves smeared with blood nearby the apartment where he lived with brothers and a

roommate, all of whom were in the country illegally at the time. and, get this: the judge has ruled those men be present at this trial as possible witnesses. also, the judge has denied the defendant's motion to change venue and suppress evidence, including d.n.a. and cell phone data. the judge has also denied the defendant's motion to sever the peeping tom charge against ibarra that prosecutors say occurred on the same day with another woman. ibarra illegally crossed into our country in 2022 released into the u.s. via parole. since then cited for shoplifting in georgia and charged with child endangerment in new york if the judge finds him guilty. and this trial ibarra faces life without parole. guys? >> brian: if there is anybody that deserves -- thank you so much, chanley. if anybody deserves the death penalty, it's him. unfortunately he will maximum just life in prison. he came here to commit crimes. his brothers also seemly a

despicable guy just like him just targeting laken riley. and there you see him. >> lawrence: tried every legal maneuver trying to get the d.n.a. thrown out which is essential. the fact there were cell phone records that show he was right there in that location. he is as good as done and the judge was definitely going to decide his fate, ainsley. >> ainsley: my gosh. when you look at him i am like how could he have done that? how could he do what he did to a young woman who was just jogging on her campus. he lives in an apartment complex right on the edge of the park that was affiliated with the school where she was attending. it's just -- that whole -- how can someone take the life of someone? in such a brutal way? >> lawrence: not everyone that is coming to this country wants a fresh start. wants to work. >> ainsley: right. >> lawrence: i don't care what they t tell you. plenty of people that mean us harm there was a guy that came down an escalator in 2015 and

told us that and was demonized the country has changed. >> brian: all the cities pushing back against trump fight back about getting rid of the sanctuary city status. got to come back at these goicials pictures of laken riley and rachel morin, and you see what they went through, how they died. and just say do you want that on your head? tom homan is going to being going around with sheriffs around the bend, can't get into prisons to get these people before they strike again. can't stop them at the border. >> ainsley: a lot of people in athens did not realize they lived in a sanctuary city. >> brian: i didn't either. >> ainsley: you expect it in chicago. >> brian: texas, look at austin. >> lawrence: that's true. >> brian: 18 minutes after the hour. carley shimkus you have other news? >> carley: other news to get to overseas a fight breaking out at an israel-france soccer match in paris and the israeli national anthem was booed when it played in the stadium. this as israeli fans return to europe despite widespread

attacks in amsterdam last week. thousands of extra officers were assigned to the game and only took about a minute for security to step in and break up the fight. but outside the stadium, anti-israel protesters filled the streets to to protest the match. rnc filing two lawsuits in pennsylvania to stop undated mail ballots from being counted after the state's senate race triggered a recount. bob casey has refused to concede, even after the race was called with senator elect dave mccormick up over 26,000 votes. and in iowa, congresswoman mariannette miller meeks, his democrat opponent is requesting a recount. republican congresswoman up by less than a thousand votes. she has declared victory despite that race not yet being called. regardless of that race's outcome though, republicans have retained control of the house. "the chicago tribune" editorial board is calling out oprah after her production company reportedly accepted $1 million from the harris campaign after

she hosted a star-studded campaign event for harris. the board says those production fees should have been a campaign donation. oprah has denied accepting the money as a personal fee. and it is beginning to look a lot like christmas. check out this great video here. that is santa claus arriving by boat yesterday to greeted children at a german post office. there he began his first day of answering thousands of letters from kids across the globe and even delivering some gifts. it's a nearly 40-year tradition for the small germantown. last year saint nick and helpers responded to 3,000 letters. he is a busy guy. >> this is a busy season, guys. >> brian: right. germany is where santa claus started. >> ainsley: that's what i heard. you took german, you should know. >> brian: i'm one of those people. i adopt that as my second homeland. >> lawrence: i'm one of those people. he claims everything. every story.

>> brian: if you are german out there and want to claim me i'm claimable. >> ainsley: i will claim you my last name is earhardt. >> brian: you outdo me. we talked about being invited to inaugural balls. i got invited to the texas ball by congressman pfluger yesterday they told me to tell lawrence i get to go to a ball. >> lawrence: i will be there with you. >> brian: i'm taking chris chulo. >> ainsley: do you have an invite yet? >> lawrence: not yet. it's customary that you invite the texas on the couch. >> brian: you're right. chris you are out. [laughter] we saw the premier of a fantastic series on fox nation. >> ainsley: martin scorsese is so talented, and he has an 8-part docuseries called martin scorsese presents the saints. you have probably seen all of these commercials. you are going to be able to watch all of these on sunday. this coming sunday. on fox nation.com. >> lawrence: it's riveting, here is a little bit of it.

[horse naying] >> do you believe you were sent by god? >> yes. >> repent. come and be baptized in the river jordan. i speak in the name of the one true god. >> lawrence: i mean the way they shoot this is like game of thrones. you see all the actions, all the images and the cinematography is incredible. >> brian: i mean, you got joan of arc, last night we saw two of them together. the other one was from the docuseries was max -- sebastian max colby. what you see is human beings that just go into the human being hall of fame. they get bee at find.

they just acted in extraordinary ways. even though you know the name. you don't know the story. and when martin scorsese puts his fingerprints on it. you are told in a way that you see with the raging bull and the godfather. it's a fantastic series. and he seems to be a biblical historian. judging by what we heard last night. >> ainsley: you are able to come here to the fox news channel, on the side of our bidding outside at fox square. can you turn yourself into a stained glass work of art. you can stand -- go into that little -- it looks like a little church. did you go into that little room there. we all did it. >> lawrence: take a photo. >> ainsley: take a photo and make you look like a saint. >> brian: do you have the pictures of you guys? >> ainsley: i believe we do. >> brian: i didn't have a chance to do this. but you guys did this. we have some pictures. >> ainsley: while they are grabbing that, if you want to come to the fox square it's from 10:30.

president biden meeting with president xi meeting comes as we expect crack down under president-elect trump. this week he tapped michael waltz and marco rubio for his administration. two lawmakers tough. see them as the number one threat we have ever faced. including our next guest retired four star general jack keane chairman for the study of war. do you like the selection of waltzand rubio seeming to underd

china. >> absolutely. they have a lot of experience here. they are going to be a major assistance to the president in dealing with this issue what is on the table as china comes back china outpacing military in terms ever capability. >> they have been investing for 20 years. and they are the pacing challenge of this current administration but the challenge is they are outpacing us. fix the military erosion taken place. the last four budgets in terms of defense have been flat. that makes no sense given the threats that we're facing. so we have got to rebuild the military. economically i nanny china now has a $1 trillion surplus dealing with the united states. that means exports over imports. that's considerably larger than what it was during the trump administration.

he knows full well that china reneged on the economic deal he made with them where they were going to purchase $200 billion worth of u.s. imports didn't do that. did some of it but not all of it chirge is conducting the largest penetration of american society in the history of the country mostly using cyber espionage. he will get all the detailed classified briefings on that and see what has happened in the four years since he left the white house, which is formidable and is he likely, as announced, going to take some pretty strong economic action against china, i wonder if president trump gave a message to joe biden as he goes out the door meeting with president xi. to show you how up to files you are piece in the "wall street journal" today president xi revving up china spy machine and alarming the west. they are trying to infiltrate in every way. we have to sober up to that. just to give you an idea what your statement is in hard numbers. china in 2015 had 255 ships.

we had 271. in 2020 it was 360 for them. 296 for us. in 2025400 to 286. way too slow in building ships, too. general, ask you to pivot over to ukraine. looks like russia is trying to get as much land as possible before trump takes over, 200 square miles over the last mo they have suffered record high casualties of over 1200, maybe 1500 a day in october. >> what is happening on the ground in ukraine? rickenbacker has certainly conducted a grinding operation in the south and east to really consolidate the whole donbas region. they are making slow progress but nonetheless progress. and, yes, in october, 57,000 casualties, they average about 30,000 a month, which is absolutely staggering. that's why certainly they welcome the 10,000 or so north koreans, and i think they would like them to be coming at that rate every single month.

we will see if that really have a pipeline or just a one-off. but, no, russia is certainly has its challenges, despite its tactical advances. that they are making. but, they are a much larger country than ukraine, brian. and they can tap into people. and they are buying conscriptions. they are incentivizing people to come into the military by providing financial bonuses, to keep the casualty resistance down by the russian people. if a russian soldier is killed they receive the equivalence of $150,000 as a death benefit which exceeds what that soldier would makes a a civilian in their society for an buyer year for sure. it is very significant what is happening there in terms of putin recognizing he has a manpower problem because of the

casualties that he has to deal with. he has a bigger reservoir of resources than ukraine has. >> brian: 150 million people as opposed to 25 or 30 million. keep in mind we have not been enforcing the sanctions. hopefully trump will realize and we cannot let the ukrainians lose there general jack keane thanks so much for the latest. the institute for the study of war gives you an idea what is happening over there thanks so much, general. >> yeah, thanks, brian. you and the team have great weekend. >> brian: speaking of the weekend coming up at 9:00 one nation. don't miss it. jim jordan and newt gingrich putting in perspective what the president's win and what the agenda should be. what's wrong with the democrats? what's with paying these celebrities? mark penn and mike larosa former chief of staff for jill biden with be with us too. carley shimkus breaking down the media moments that matter, #:00 on saturday night. please join me then. i won't wear a tie, promise. tennessee seeing a surge of venezuelan gang activity across the state. the official sounding the alarm, next. >> they are running human

once that happens they are supposed to stop applying pressure or can cause injury or death. when the defense asked if penny appeared to be applying the chokehold fully for neeley to go unconscious. he responded not from what can i see. jurors were also shown the video of penny being interrogated by police just hours after the chokehold death. at the time, penny did not seem to know yet that jordan neely had died. >> i'm not trying to like kill a guy. >> right. >> i'm just trying to make like de-escalate the situation. i'm not out here like trying to attack people. i just felt the need that this guy was saying he was going to kill people. that he was prepared to go to jail for life. i'm just trying to keep him from hurting anybody else. he is threatening people. >> the marine veteran faces 19 years in prison. if convicted he has pleaded not guilty. lawrence back over to you. >> lawrence: thanks, todd. tennessee law enforcement warning that the violent venezuelan gag tren de aragua is

now operating in every major city in the state. tennessee bureau of investigation director david raush has been warning local leaders about the growing threat the program. now >> thank you, lawrence. >> lawrence: what's the big issue as it relates to your law enforcement capabilities? is the current federal, you know, detainers give us the scope? because ever the porous border, this gang has exploited it. they are actively working throughout our country and we know because of our investigation they are actively working in tennessee. they are in our four major cities. nashville, memphis, knoxville and chattanooga. and they are running human trafficking operations right now. we first noticed them about two

years ago during a trafficking operation in middle tennessee. we thought after we had captured a few of them we knew some of them had fled. we thought that they would move out of tennessee. but they have moved back. and we are aware now after some meetings this past month. we are aware that they are moving into dinner operations. they go from human trafficking to organized retail crime theft and then they move into the drug trade taking on the cartels in a very violent, buddy battles that they have had. and they also have zero respect for policing. they have attacked law enforcement officers throughout our nation. >> lawrence: what do you charge them with? you see that these folks may be allegedly a part of tren de aragua. if witness them committing a crime. got any evidence of a crime. right now because of the current administration. you can't turn them over to ice to be deported. what do you do? >> yeah, so that's a challenge. we do -- if we come upon them

and they have a detainer on them then we can take them into custody. other than that, all we can do is monitor and assure that they aren't violating the law. but that is a challenge. >> lawrence: that's a game of cat and mouse, right? >> very much so. very much so. >> we do that unfortunately too frequently and with these very violent, violent criminals, it is -- it's a dangerous game. >> lawrence: i'm hoping with the new administration -- as a matter of fact, i know things are going to change. sir, thank you so much for all that you do. >> thank you very much. >> lawrence: will cain is joining us next. but, first, we leave you with this beautiful shot of gainesville, georgia. courtesy of inspire sleep ♪ let it be ♪ if it's meant to be ♪ it will be ♪ it will be ♪ baby just let it be ♪ so why don't you ride with me ♪ ride with me ♪ see where this thing goes.

ring with the idea of mike tyson. and i give jake paul a lot of credit. i mean, i don't know many people -- now there is lots of money on the line why is he doing it. my good lord, jake, god bless you. good luck. he may win because tyson is still 60 but on the other hand, is he also mike tyson. >> 31 year age difference. okay. so pete was nominated for secretary of defense. we are all excited for him because we love him. is he part of our family. but you worked with him. you worked with him for years on the weekend show. what was your reaction to this? >> >> will: ainsley, what you doing? there used to be a show -- did you ever see jerry maguire? >> ainsley: yeah, of course. >> do you remember that? >> yeah. used to be a show on espn with roy firestone. he would get all the athletes to come in. the thing was roy would make the athlete cry? jerry maguire you are not going to make me cry, roy. you are not going to make me cry. you are not going to make me cry
