put out a detailed plan for co-existence between israelis and palestinians. if that trump revives that initiative in 2025 he could be remembered as the president who preserved israel as a jewish democracy and helped to securely birth a palestinian state alongside it. is that possible under the president-elect? >> i think anybody who knows donald trump understands there is very few people on earth who can put a deal together any better than he can. i'm convinced that if there's any hope for resolving what has been a long-standing conflict, donald trump is going to find a way to do it. i go back to the abraham accords, no one thought that was possible. it not only was possible, it was done. if he had still been in office, i think we would have seen it expand even more. >> carley: that's right. >> todd: governor huckabee, congratulations on the nomination. thank you for joining us. "fox & friends" right now. ♪ ♪

>> brian: 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. it is thursday, november 21st. this remains "fox & friends" and it's raining outside for the first time since 1971. >> ainsley: an illegal immigrant found guilty for the murder of georgia nursing student laken riley. the victim's family, of course, heart broken. >> he made the choice to take laken's life and destroy ours. he showed no mercy on laken when she was begging for her life. [crying] >> ainsley: georgia's brother brian kemp will join us on whether the punishment was enough. >> steve: plus, elon and vivek laying out plans to save your hard-earned taxpayer money from government waste. figure out what they have to say. >> brian: and at last night's country music awards eric church honoring the victims of helene in his home state of north carolina ♪ you got this down.

>> lawrence: "fox & friends" starts right now. and remember, mornings are better with friends. >> steve: let's start with this, the transition. we begin with the very latest on it. vice president elect j.d. vance returned to capitol hill later this morning after a busy yesterday. in an ongoing effort to sell lawmakers on crucial cabinet nominees. >> brian: i love our aerial shot. >> ainsley: person on the stairs trying to get some shots, too. >> brian: i forgot my pass i will do it from here. >> ainsley: vance and matt gaetz made the rounds with key senators. >> lawrence: alexis mcadams is live from west palm beach with more. hey, alexis. >> not a surprise to many people watching at home that it's going to be a uphill battle for representative matt gaetz. a lot of people think he is the most controversial pick right now this new trump transition

team. the former president and then president-elect posting on truth social just yesterday that this is what the left tries to do. they try to dirty up his picks and try to ruin them and he believes what j.d. vance is doing on capitol hill is going to help push matt gaetz through. check it out though here on your screen. this is what we saw yesterday in washington, d.c. you can see representative matt gaetz there walking around on capitol hill. he was in d.c. a meeting with republican senators, trying to really get more support there on the ground. a former representative is trump's topic, right, for the attorney general position. he was with vice president president-elect j.d. vance to try to make those rounds and repair some relationships. he might not have senator have been giving me good advice. looking forward to the hearing. we are going to get a g a proce.

great day. >> optimism on capitol hill you have to have if you are in a position to battle back. this comes as the house ethics committee discussed reports on matt gaetz deciding not to release the report over allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use that were reportedly in these documents. several rounds before it was decided it was not coming out. >> the chairman has essentially suggested that there was agreement of the members of the committee, which there most definitely was not. >> okay. trump's pick for treasury secretary continues to widen. that's a very important position with a lot of eyes on it. you can see the photos on your screen. looking at three names from various ports. kevin warsh, the former member of the federal board of governors, former management ceo marc rowan voice for private market. trump is looking more seriously republican senator from

tennessee bill haggerty. he is a former private investor ambassador to japan and top contender right now also information lye palm beach we can tell you the former president is eyeing official crypto policy czars. we know made that final push before the election we saw him at that bar not far from where you guys are in new york city. send it back to you. >> steve: thank you very much, alexis, a live report. one thing about the ethics committee yesterday deadlocking is apparently now democrats in the house are offering motions to put the entire question up for the full house to vote on whether or not to release the matte gaetz information. and there are a number of republicans who are on board. they want it released so it will be curious to see where that goes. also, if there is a confirmation hearing for him, it will be at least two months away, and there are a number of republican

senators who, you know, they want to support the president but at the same time, a lot of them don't see a path to 50 for him. and they worry that they are wasting their time and political capital on him. >> ainsley: did he talk to some of the senators and senator mike lee said that he spent number of minutes talking about the unfairness and lack of truth of this reported. senator josh hawley said he talked about the need to get confirmed and gaetz is able to respond in public under oath had when he has to answer the questions. senator john cornyn said he would like to see the ethics committee report before he makes a decision. you talked about this, brian, lisa murkowski and susan collins, they expressed skepticism. >> yes. i think mitch mcconnell is out already. just doesn't want it. lindsey graham says let's give him a shot. i think the one thing that he has going for him. if the ethics thing becomes -- they feel as though they can

live whatever ethics come out and he gets in front of people. is he such a strong communicator. if he can tone it down and say that's the old me. i was a fire brand in the house. but the way i'm going to approach the department of justice is, this it might make people pause and say maybe people can have a different approach for a different job. >> lawrence: you are right, brian. if you can say hey, this is what the people of my district elected me to do was to be their fire brand, that's one thing. is he well-liked within his district i keep going back to this because i feel so strongly about this. every investigation, especially when there is the department of justice, fbi going after you, there is an investigative file. the house essentially took that file and they decided to do their own ethics investigation. my problem is when the investigations endnder the department of justice, we never see that file. it's because they didn't have enough evidence to present to a court or to get an indictment. that's the way it's always been. putting information out -- how would you like that to be done for you. you are investigated, you are

cleared or they don't find sufficient evidence to go to trial, and then you put that in the spub sphere. i don't want that happening to me and i don't think that's fair to any american. i know he is in line to be attorney general,. >> ainsley: he is such a fire brand. >> lawrence: correct. >> ainsley: so maga so, far to the right. >> steve: the trump transition team, you look at the big screen, there isn't the kind of headlines around any of those that you see around matt gaetz and the constant drip, drip, drip every day of some new revelation the trump team has got to be thinking you know, maybe this wasn't such a good idea. we don't want to be spinning our wheels. we don't want the distraction. we would like to hit the ground running. you know, like i said a moment ago, if there's a confirmation hearing, it won't be for two months. dragged through the mud for two months? >> lawrence: he actually thinks the opposite. he was aware of this investigation before. and the position of the former president is that there's a department of justice that went

after me. and it was unfair. and they didn't find anything with me and the same thing with matt gaetz. he has actually doubled down he wants him to be the pick. >> brian: front page in the "new york times" says this. federal inquiry trace gaetz from women. bowl centers claims by women who say they were hired for sex. and then they go into "new york times." this happens for the next two months it might be too much. >> steve: it's a lot. >> ainsley: yesterday i had fox on in my apartment constantly. i was in and out of the kitchen and watching the laken riley trial. last night someone sent me the letter that her step-father read in court. and it broke my heart. because this happens a lot in southern christian circles. we write letters to our future husbands. and. >> brian: that almost confused me. don't you have to have a boyfriend? >> ainsley: he went through her journal and one of her journal entries that was recent, right before she was killed, was about a few months before she was killed, was a letter to her future husband.

i haven't method you yet. i don't know you. i'm saving -- i'm doing everything i can to be a good christian woman for you so that we can raise our kids together. love your future wife, laken. he read that in court yesterday and it was so touching. listen to this. this is laken's step-father. >> i can stand here and try to tell the world the things that made her such wonderful person and as well as the many things we have been robbed and deprived of. i think one of her last journal entries dated 12/17/23 says it best. to my future husband, i want you to know that i'm thinking about you. i'm working every day to become the best wife i can be, working through my current relationships that best prepare me for ours and our kids one day. i'm focusing on god and what he

defines a faithful christian wife and so that i can best embody those characteristics. i pray that we continue to glorify the lord, prioritize him in every aspect of our lives, and raise our family, our future family to be god-fearing christians as well. i pray god is in the center of our relationship as it is a gift from him. i thank him for you before i even know you. i can't wait to love you in the best way i know how for the rest of our lives. i pray you know and feel the importance of my love and hopes for our relationship. no matter what challenges we face i pray our trust and love in one another overrules the obstacle. may our relationship last forever. your future life, laken.

>> steve: it took the judge less than 20 minutes to find him guilty. the evidence was overwhelming his d.n.a. was under her fingernails. they used his cell phone to track him to the area. but his lawyer said, you know, it could have been his brother. that man right there. his thumbprint was on laken riley's phone. and his d.n.a. under her fingernails. and the judge ultimately said, you know what? guilty, guilty, guilty, guilty. >> ainsley: the years were piling up as the judge was laying out two life sentences without the possibility of parole plus 27 years. that guy right there never changed his facial expression. he had to be in that room with her loved ones as you can see there. roommate and best friend forever. she wore laken's shirt. it's the red shirt. you can see the sleeve right there. her best friend spoke. we used to run together that was

our thing. i can no longer run looking over my shoulder wondering if i could be nest. there she is in the middle. she woke up to the house being totally decorated. laken got up at the crack of dawn to decorate it for her birthday while laken went on to take her classes. >> lawrence: brian, one of the long irs moment wasn't just the 20 minutes where he came out with his verdict. there was moment after he delivers the verdict he says i'm prepared to give the sentence right now. but, if you all want a bret, do you want a recess for a minute to gather yourself? but i'm ready to sentence right after he gave the verdict. this shows you how definitive the evidence and how overwhelming the evidence was against this suspect right here. >> brian: couple of things, number one the president came out immediately on truth social and saluted the family. election is over. this bothers me. this is what i ran on 8 years ago. number two, this is everything that we have been saying as

americans. not as "fox & friends" hosts. illegal immigrants don't belong here. criminals are coming here to commit horrific crimes. cities are not reacting, they are going into their political corners. case in point, new york gets this guy. they say we want -- we can't handle you because there is 57,000 people here illegally. we are going to offer free transportation, wherever the hell you want to go. he chooses georgia. he does not want the american dream he wants to destroy somebody else's. so he gets drunk, and he does just that. but we caught it all on camera. we basically have everything except the actual murder. so we see it all play out. and anyone who thinks this is trumped up, this is something exaggerated that doesn't exist. you just saw a composite courtroom as if it was produced by a network because in real time, we saw the case, we saw it spelled out. we saw the killer sit amongst the victims and the survivors.

we see his blank stare. >> lawrence: no remorse. >> brian: there is no remorse. there is nothing. >> steve: right. >> brian: that is what the president is saying. these people are animals. these criminals are here to create havoc and ruin lives. why in a million years would you have another side to this? and this is what robin -- rachel morin said, too. at the same time it comes out, tom homan is saying i want to stop this and i'm the problem? and i want to enforce the law and i'm the problem. and tom homan is the problem? and lastly, on this day, it comes out that joe biden administration, i'm sure he doesn't even know what the hell is going on, put out a brand new app. for new york city where this guy is from that says ice,, you no longer have to check in with ice. have an app. where you can go check in without face-to-face contact and they have no way in that check-in to look at your

criminal p past or any deterrene on you. they are saying screw you to anybody who is a potential victim. >> steve: only took the judge 20 minutes to, you know, levy this guilty, guilty, guilty verdict. what you need to know is there are a lot of people who figure this is a slam dunk for the death penalty. >> the d.a., a very progressive d.a. down in that particular region, took that off the table and there are a number of georgia lawmakers who are calling for the attorney general of the great state of georgia to intervene and make it a death penalty case. >> lawrence: we're going to have the governor kemp on i will ask him about that. >> ainsley: murdered in february and she is already sentenced. we look at bryan kohberger going on and on and on. i don't know what it is death penalty or what it is. or potential death penalty case. we're parents, lawrence. one day you will be a parent. when you look at that courtroom, you feel that mom's pain. she said i lost my best friend. when we saw that chilling video

of laken run into the park i want to scream to her don't do it. he is somewhere in those woods or behind a tree or whatever. it's just heart breaking to know this was preventable. she was such a strong christian writing this letter to her future husband how i'm going to be godly and christ like. he took that away from her. evil. took her last breath. what fear she must have felt those last moments. >> steve: ainsley here is another case that could have been preventable. actually three cases. it involves more migrant crime as ice agents in the commonwealth of massachusetts have arrested three illegal migrants on child sex charges. >> lawrence: ridiculous. >> ainsley: this after the state's democrat governor says she will not assist with president-elect donald trump's planned deportation effort. >> brian: the mayor of boston feels the same way. todd piro. you have the story. >> todd: all horrible. ice agents in massachusetts announcing yesterday three separate migrant arrest all related to child sex abuse charges. first a gwatneyen national who entered the country illegally

through eagle pass texas where he forcibly raped underaged victim and faces child sexual assault battery charges. second illegal migrant that ice says is a foreign fugitive convicted of raping a child in home nation of brazil and on the run here in the states after i will illegally entering back in 2022. he was arrested on monday morning. a third a colombian national violated visa terms also arrested in massachusetts for allegedly raping a child. but despite all this, democrat governor maura healey says her state will not cooperate with president trump's deportation plans once he enters the oval office in january. >> would the massachusetts state police assist in pass deportations? >> no, absolutely not. i think that the key here is thatter tool in the toolbox is going to be used to protect our citizens and residents and

states. and certainly to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law. >> no stranger to the migrant crime. haitian who entered the u.s. through a government program was arrested for allegedly raping a 15-year-old and this is how healey responded then. >> i think that we have the right systems in place. unfortunately, this is -- you know, a terrible incident. you don't want to see anything like this happen. this is also an individual who came in lawfully under the federal government through a federal program. we have security and systems in place. we have vetting in place. it is unfortunate that, you know, from time to time things will happen. >> todd: unfortunate from time to time things will happen. back to the original story all three men remaining in federal custody this morning we await as we watch their cases move forward. >> lawrence: crazy, these people. >> brian: blue state prosecutor followed hymn new york city illegal immigrant who robbed her and did horrible things in her

apartment. blue state prosecutor. >> lawrence: and you got. >> brian: easy on crime. >> lawrence: what is protecting illegal immigrants anything to do with democracy. >> brian: sometimes things happen. >> ainsley: that 15-year-old was disabled and raped and the governor is saying well, from time to time things happen. >> steve: well, there is a new sheriff in town at noon on january 20th. i got a feeling. >> brian: worried about the interim. >> steve: all right. carley joins us with more news from new york. >> carley: i certainly do. in just hours daniel penny's murder trial resumes in a manhattan courtroom. the defense plans to call a forensic pathologist to challenge the state's conclusion that jordan neely's death was solely a result of daniel penny's chokehold. on tuesday a psychiatrist claimed neely's behavior was a result of a sk schizophrenic psychotic episode compounded by drugs. no word yet on whether penny will take the stand. screams of terror as a flight

he judge in idaho saying bryan kohberger could be four college students in 2022. channelly painter is here. >> the death penalty on the

table defense throwing every legal argument toe judge in host of sparing their client from the possibility if is he convicted of being the monster prosecutors say stabbed to death four university of idaho students, kayleigh gonzalez, madison logan, daniel kernodle and ethan chapin two years ago this month. the removed the death penalty in several filings and argued in a hearing earlier this month the death penalty goes against contemporary standards of decency. it is cruel and violates international treaty prohibiting the torture of prisoners. but the judge disagrees pointing to the fact that capital punishment is constitutional and legal in the state of idaho. the family of kayleigh gonzalez reacted on facebook, quote: we finally have a judge who appears prepared, thoughtful and well versed in the legal process. new found level of far too long. justice is moving forward and we pray that one day in the not too

distant future it will be served. and this decision comes as the defense also filed a 160 page motion to suppress much of the evidence in the case. including the defendant's d.n.a. allegedly found at the scene knife sheath under the victim's body. the trial is expected to begin this august. lawrence, i will send it over to you. >> lawrence: we willing upon it. thanks so much. illegal immigrant jose ibarra set toe sprensd the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole after being convicted of laken riley's murder. her family making these heart breaking pleas before his sentencing. >> your honor, i'm asking you to please give jose ibarra the same thing he gave us when he made the choice to take laken's life and destroy ours. he showed no mercy on laken when she was begging for her life. >> i plead with this court to protect the world from this truly evil person. >> i am completely disgusted having to even look and be in the same room as him.

>> lawrence: the governor of the great state of georgia joins us now, brian kemp. governor, thanks so much for giving us some time. you know, all of us were glued to the tv as the family discussed essentially the story of laken and how they were robert of that complete life. >> lock lawrence, this one hits home for us. you know we live in athens, georgia. we know the judge, the deputy standing right there in the courtroom. we know the phillips and riley families. our daughter is a senior at the university of georgia. i mean, even when i was on campus both marni and i have been in the area where laken lost her life. i can't tell you how many times. it is a bittersweet day. this is a tragic event, as you and your colleagues have been saying. never should have happened. it did because of bad policies of this administration which is quite honestly outrageous.

i'm thankful justice was swift and the judge moved so quickly. >> lawrence: it was quick, governor. we are talking about 20-minutes to deliberate and then right after that, he made it very clear. i'm prepared to do a sentence right now. if you guys need a break. we can go to break. he delivered it very swiftly there is some talk that there should be more, such as the death penalty. what authority do you have in regards to that or is that in the a.g.'s hands right now? how does the law work in georgia? >> >> yeah that would really be in the prosecutor's hands. i wouldn't be able to comment on that. listen, the testimony from the family, their bravery was incredible but also heart breaking and i think certainly that moved the judge, and i appreciate the severity of the sentence under the ramifications that he had based on the prosecutor. that's really all i can tell you right now. i would tell you that, you know,

i text john phillips last week and just told them i know how hard this is on the family and her friends and really our local community, our state and the whole country is watching this case. told him we were praying for him. this is why we had a change in the election. people are outraged that the border has been this open for this long. have the government transporting people around the country and we have no idea who these people are, where they are going. why the republican governors in this country have repeated asked the biden administration to at least tell us, you know, who are the people that you are moving? where are you taking them and then if you move them somewhere else, to let us know so we can simply know if these people are in our state, if they are in our cities or not, and that has been met with cr crickets. >> lawrence: you talk about the mandate from the election and this is clearly the number two issue for the voters. the economy is number one. but you look at all these

progressive mayors, these governors yesterday, they were on air talking about how they are going to resist this administration. that this was protecting democracy. that they weren't going to cooperate with ice once trump and his administration got into office. so, do you think they are listening to the american people even after this mandate? >> >> look, i can't speak for what their thinking is. i don't know how you even comment on that when you don't even know what policies that they are going to implement. i would ask them to just wait and hear from the transition committee, from the president-elect himself on what exactly he is going to do and then make the decision. i mean, they are making a preconceived decision here without even knowing the parameters of that i can tell you from my perspective and a lot of the republican colleagues that i have been working with. really over the last six years, to help secure our border when president trump was in office, that i look forward to working with the administration. i mean, we don't know exactly what their plans are going to

be. they have always been open to dialogue from governors on those kind of things. and i'm sure they will be in this case. but, you know, we have also been working on securing the border under the biden administration. unfortunately we were having to do it with governor greg abbott instead of the president. and i think that's what is going to change on january the 20th. >> lawrence: real quickly governor because i'm out of time. there is always talk about i mean, you got a landslide victory yourself but you still have some liberal cities within your state. what happens if some cities within your state refuse to cooperate? do you have powers as governor to stop them from resisting this administration? >> yeah. you know, this debate has been going on since the tragic death of laken riley. we passed some legislation last year that will help us with that because the white house has not been identifying these people. i think that's going to change here very soon with the trump administration. but, you know, we also sent some

messages, going after some of these really george soros' funded d.a.s around the stated. we, unfortuna fortunately beat n athens. >> lawrence: congratulations in your state. we all feel the pain of the family. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> lawrence: more "fox & friends" straight ahead. ♪

mental health challenges that no one addresses. they let you out of the service like good luck. i was raped when i was in the marine corps. i had to seek a lot of counsel for myself and pay for that out of pocket. that's not the case for most people and they get out with all this trauma. >> ainsley: what do you do when you go in and find a veteran that is homeless. >> when we find a veteran that's homeless if we have a city partner resources. we usually bring those partner resources out on the walk with us. that way if the person is willing to get off the street today. we can get them off the street today. >> ainsley: that's awesome. what about this administration? has the biden administration been helpful for you? have we seen numbers go up and down and what about under trump? >> it was interesting. trump's first term it was way down. veteran homelessness, because they were really heavily leaned in to the veteran community. when we had this migrant crisis, a lot of the v.a. head bash funds house homeless veterans got reallocated to migrants. >> ainsley: what? >> i think it will go down under this administration. >> ainsley: that money supposed to go to the veterans went to

the migrants. that's why migrants are on the street. >> ainsley: he didn't tell the first guy why he wasn't. >> there is not enough shelters is the problem. if you went to prison. like most of these people have gone to prison for, you know, domestic violence and things. drugs. and then they can't get in to the shelter. they won't put them in military shelters. they continue to not get he rehabilitated. they just retain their trauma for their whole life. >> ainsley: i know you are going to be working with washington. you are a lobbyist. you will be working with doug collins and whoever these appointments go through pete hegseth, possibly. thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> ainsley: god bless you. you are awesome. elon and vivek laying out how they will slash government spending. federal jobs and the red tape. ♪ emergen-c crystals pop and fizz when you throw them back. and who doesn't love a good throwback? ♪ now with vitamin d

♪ >> brian: elon musk and vivek ramaswamy laying out government for efficiency doge writing in a op-ed today, quote. we will serve as outside volunteers not federal officials or employees unlike government commissions or advisory committees we won't just write reports or cut ribbons. we will cut costs. joining us now the host of making money on fox business charles payne. charles, great to see you. we don't know exactly how this

is going to work. they are also going to have a television aspect. do regular broadcast i imagine on youtube saying this is what we're doing. this is the turbulence we're facing. >> right. >> brian: that's new? >> it's new and x handle. i think they did a little podcast type of thing last night. communicating with the public is important with this stuff because, listen, free money permeates our society. but it's not free. it always comes from the taxpayer. and then when we have to borrow it costs the taxpayer even more. at the end of the day, we are all in this together. but the transition period is going to feel tough, it can feel tough. listen, there's a lot of targets. there is a lot of low hanging fruit which they mention in the article. some things that everyone knows. listen, we have all dealt with bureaucracy. the average person can walk in almost any government building, federal, local, state, and say golly, there is a lot of fat marbled into this operation. but, beyond that, and then i think this is really critical. last week in the stock market,

you saw defense contractor stocks get hammered. you saw a lot of pharmaceutical stocks get hammered. you saw a lot of corporate america is the biggest welfare queen out there. without a doubt, hands down. they have taken advantage of our government. think about this. >> brian: you think they got hammered because you know they are about to be held accountable? >> absolutely. the tr trough is going to be drained. if you want to drain the swamp you have to drain the trough. you don't get $1,000 hammers or $500 toilet seats unless someone is making a big huge markup. so that's -- i think that's where a big pivotal point is going to have to come between that -- listen, empty buildings, government buildings, all the unnecessary stuff out there. there is so much -- there is so much out there that can be done almost immediately. >> brian: i can see musk sitting there doing a press conference saying this building is empty. >> charles: right. >> brian: so it's going to be interesting. just know it's not going to be something like simpson-bowles that they ignore even though

they pay money to produce. >> charles: right. last night i googled every president for the last 40 years everyone used the same term i'm going to get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse. every one of them. we know it's there but none of them did anything about it. >> brian: i worry because you were on hannity last night. did you go home and google? you better spend time with your family. [laughter] >> brian: got to find out who the next treasury secretary is. here is a list of some of the finalists that we understand it is. i think it should include a fourth list i think scott bessent is still a frontrunner. bill hagerty made his name is business ambassador japan. came back, still has that knowledge. marc roin kevin warsh what do you think the president is looking for. i know he doesn't like to be harassed about it by them. >> charles: president trump is intriguing often he will bee friend or embrace someone who has been a critic of him or his policies. that's why it makes this list pretty intriguing. there are a couple folks who are considered establishment, at

least certainly in my mind. i would think and personally i don't know that the middle guy too well warsh i know of his work pretty well. basset, i think, is more establishment. i think hagerty would probably be more in line with what trump is looking for in terms of, listen, he has blown this thing up. these have been the most unorthodox cabinet picks in history. last time he went counsel there he thought he could drain the swamp by picking people in the swamp. you can't do that come with complete outsiders not just thinking but people not beholden. people who may not necessarily believe in that sort of thing. think about all the advisers that he had last time around. really good people. brilliant people a lot of them had this traditional conservative economic orthodoxy that put corporations first and people after corporations. >> brian: i do think steve mnuchin was pretty respected on both sides. on the same page with trade and tariffs. use that as a hedge. he doesn't need a critic from inside.

>> charles: mnuchin is more of an independent business guy too though. >> brian: making money with charles payne you don't have to tell me exactly what is on it i can watch it in my office? >> charles: you should be watching it. in this market i will bring something up and three years later, like bitcoin, no one like bitcoin. i had all the bitcoin people on my show right now quantum computing. look into it. >> brian: there is going to be a crypto-currency ambassador by the way. >> carley: quantum computing googling that right now. before the search engine catches up with it i will get to some news saying. this watch this video out of china after reports that two men were attacked by loose siberian farmers. local tiger got the scare of his life while stepping out of his door monday morning. the loose tiger eventually charged at the 74-year-old who was luckily protected by that fence around his property. the man was rattled but managed to escape without a scrape. the tigerred reportedly remain on the loose.

and art is truly in the eye of the beholder, this banana duct taped to a wall sold for $6.2 million at a manhattan auction last night. the artist had a named the 2019 conceptual masterpiece comedian. the artist behind the banana known for focused on the viewer's reaction as much as the work itself. crypto entrepreneur snapped up that piece but as part of its auction, he will have to replace the banana whenever it rots. that is a lot of thoughts about that one. more "fox & friends" after this. ♪ lowe's knows that holiday list can stretch further than your budget. with mylowe's rewards... yes. you get member deals and earn points when you shop. so, you can get more and give more too. join my lowe's rewards for free today.
