♪ ♪ brian: i think whatever they did the beautify worked. those guys look great. rachel: yes, they do. good morning, everybody. it's 7 a.m. here in new york city, and your looking at a shot here out on fox square. charlie: they have a christmas tree. rachel: did you come up with a names yet? charlie: well, i offered mine, but nobody liked it. rachel: we told you not to do a. that's. charlie: nuggets, i think, is good. and i think strip is good. brian: i don't think they would agree. i want to see what our audience came up with. rachel: we did, we asked our audience to come up with some names to beat charlie's. nancy said stars and stripes. that's good. charlie: doug, drum and stick, but that seems to violate the food rule.

brian: he's with you. this is good. this is from nicholas. he says cluck norris and hen solo. charlie: i'm going with that. that's a good one. hen solo. i'm assuming that one's a male and one's a female. it's kind of hard to el. both of them seem to have lost their tails, so -- brian: if you're a farmer, you could -- charlie: i'm not a farmer, i'm a fake farmer. rachel: is that true? they lost their tail? charlie: they don't have a fan. maybe they're young -- brian: and that concludes charlie's biology lesson. charlie: that's the extent of my knowledge. brian: go to the "fox & friends" instagram page. you can find all the choices there, vote for whichever one you want. it's up to you, and we'll see what you come up with. charlie: you're not going to be cluck and hen. brian: that was pretty good. well done. all right, we begin with the future of the white house as

trump wraps up his final administration picks. rachel: the president-elect filling his cabinet in near record time, a stark difference from the last time he was set to take the office. charlie: madeleine rivera is in the nation's capital with more on trump's new team. >> reporter: hi, guys, good morning. president trump made one more announcement, he chose brooke hold rinse to to lead the department of agriculture. rollins wrote in part on x, it will be the honor of my life to fight for america's farmers and our nation's agricultural communities. this is big stuff for a maul town, ag girl from glen rose, texas. roll hintz rounds out trump's picks for the top 15 positions within his cabinet. some of his other high profile nominees include senator marco rubio for secretary of state, veteran and former fox news host pete hegseth for defense secretary, robert f. kennedy jr. for health and human services, scott bessent for treasury secretary and former florida

attorney general pam bondi for a.g., the attention now turns to capitol hill where the appropriate senate committees will review the backgrounds of the candidates. generally, the committee will have a hearing on the nomination, ask and the nominee will every. if the committee will then vote on whether to send the nomination to the full senate. in order to be confirmed, a nominee needs a simple majority of the senators who are present and are voting. donald trump's choices like kennedy and his director of national intelligence nominee tulsi gabbard are expected to be highly scrutinized during the confirmation process. still, it is rare to have cabinet offers be rejected in a full senate vote. the last major cabinet rejection was in 91989. former president george h.w. bush nominated john tower as defense secretary. tower lost the vote along party lines in the democratic-controlled senate, and dick cheney was later approved. charlie, rachel and brian. charlie: thank you, madeleine.

>> reporter: you guys got it. charlie: that's kind of interesting, i'm surprised by that, john tower was the last nominee voted down. i would have thought that there would be one since then, but i -- obviously, i can't think of one. brian woib if it's true, that's telling. rachel: one of the interesting things about cabinet, donald trump has a very ideologically diverse cabinet. axios just wrote a piece on that saying, behind the curtain. trump's liberal cabinet. this is from a piece written by mike allen and jim vandehei. lost in the noise of trump's most controversial picks is the simple, undebatable fact this might be one of the most i'd to logically diverse cabinets of modern time. trump's cabinet increasingly resembles a european-style coalition government saw staffed with a dizzying array of ideological call rivals united for now at least by a grand maga vision.

it's trump's team of ideological rivals. the team represents the trump world view, traditional conservativism is dead and biggest lifelong advocates neuteredded to the point of irrelevance. i don't know if i agree with that last line, but i will say that this -- i mean, we were noting that this summer when rfk jr. came onboard along with tulsi gab a ard, this was a -- gabbard, this was something we've never seen before. it was definitely an ideologically -- charlie: yeah. rachel: -- you know, coalition that was forming that we'd never seen. charlie: yeah. not only were we talking about it this summer, we were talking about it the past four years, the past eight years. donald trump has completely taken over the republican party and changed the focus of the republican party and has ended a number of dynasty, political dynasties in order to -- in both the democrat party and the republican party. and i to do think it's kind of interesting that sort of people

wake up in washington and they're like, oh, wait a minute, you've got this diverse cabinet. yeah. what do you think donald trump has been talking about all the time? what do you think donald trump's been campaigning about for the past year in he's been campaigning on all of these issues with this diverse cabinet. so it's always funny, washington is always the last ones to, the like, catch up with what's actually going on in politics. brian: that's interesting. i get the diversity thing, for sure, and i agree to a certain extent. i feel like this characterization is trying to overplay that a little bit in terms of these rivals going after each other. i look at the wall and i sort of see a lot of people who are united by the idea that government doesn't serve the people anymore. like, they may have different views on different things, but this is a group of people who, i think, have fundamentally aligned on the idea that the bureaucracy, sort of the lifers in d.c. no longer think they work for the people -- rachel: right. brian: -- who have put them there or the politicians who put

them there, whatever, however they got there. and this is a group that wants to change that in their different areas. rfk's got it in health and medicine, and burgum has it many energy and permitting. all these different things. but that is their fundamental alignment. they're not rivals in that respect, they're actually a network of people who are wanting to achieve that. rachel: i think it also shows how things overlap, right? if so i look at my own husband, sean duffy, and rfk jr. they could not be more different in terms of -- [laughter] think about, like, one's a democrat, one's a republican. they both have a lot of to kids, but -- and they have very opposing views on abortion. this is a very fundamental difference. but talk about food and health and pharma and -- sean and rfk jr. are buddies on that. and so people are not as cut and dried as you would think, do you know what i'm saying? like, it's not -- things cross over more, ideas cross over

more, and i think that this cabinet reflects that in many ways. charlie: and the most important flashpoint in this sort of new, all these tectonic shifts in politics is the fact that a lot of these people left the democrat party because the democrat party went full whacko, and there was no longer a place for somebody like tulsi gabbard, elon musk or rfk jr. brian: right. charlie: and it, you know, they're not driven by their desire to, you know, abortion or whatever. they're driven by the desire to have a common sense government. and donald trump is the only person who's offering common sense solutions to these problems. and so, to me, this says more about the death of the democrats than it does -- brian: yeah. it's much more fundamental. this is really basic stuff the about government. of. charlie: and the perfect example, of course, is is this bizarre ideological grip the democrats have about open borders and the migrant crisis

that has affected, you know, the entire country but has most affected places that have had these unlawful, illegal,, unconstitutional sang can chow ware cities where they're -- sanctuary cities where they're harboring -- basically any democrat politician who has, oversees a sanctuary city is taking part in human smuggle campaigns. brian: yep. charlie: they wouldn't admit to the it, but that is exactly what's going on. and here in new york city, the new york city i.c.e. director a said i think yesterday, in new york city if it would take a lifetime to clear the city of the criminals that we have. these are illegal aliens. we need additional resources, and the fact is that i have to focus all of my resources on the worst of the worst, the most egregious violaters. all i can can tell you is that we have leads that we work every day, and it's not in the if hundreds -- not in the hundreds,

it's in the thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. is and taxpayers are paying for it. brian: and these guys got their cities into this thing. they had no idea how bad it was going to get, and they didn't even care about thinking about that. so now they get to this point, and as this i.c.e. director says, the task of getting these guys out of new york city is so far beyond what any of the people who are the architects of this ever imagined. or like in massachusetts, you've got the governor saying, oh, we're not going to do, you know, we're not going to do the hotels anymore. we're going to start shutting these things down. what did you think was going to happen when you created hotels for illegal migrants in your cities? charlie: so they create a crisis, a human crisis at the border, and then taxpayers are forced to to pay the move the human crisis to massachusetts and new york -- brian: right. charlie: and now they're going to recan create the human crisis when they kick them out of hotels. what are you supposed to do at about it then? this was a stated position

embraced by democrats -- brian: you brought up the martha's vineyard thing. it's on a bigger scale. we can't to do it anymore, so we're going to buy tickets out of here. rachel: they're trying to ramp it down. they have nine months free in the if hotels, and then they're saying we're going to bring it to six months, four months and then might make it shorter and shorter stays. again, the question you asked, charlie, is a good one, what then? when they leave the hole tells -- hotel, where do they go? one of the biggest problems we have is children. children have been coming across our border unaccompanied, and they go into these detention centers, these shelters that are just for young people. i tried to get into one of these shelters. charlie: that's right. rachel: i wanted to seen when i was back at the border, and it's so high security. you would have an easier time getting into a prison -- [laughter] with death row inmates than you would be able to get into one of these with the children. they don't want us to to see them the at all.

and that's why it was really important that there were economiesing blower -- whistleblowers that came out of hhs to tell us what was going on. one of those was tara rhodes. she worked for hhs. they were looking for people who could speak spanish, and she volunteered along with others thinking she was going to go into these shelters and do puzzles and play with these kids because, obviously, they're alone and scared, and she was really looking forward to doing that kind of work. what happened is once she went into those shelters, she started talking to the children and hearing the horrors of their journey and how they got there and what they are going to face once they leave that shelter. here is a portion of what she told brian kilmeade last night on "one nation." listen. >> the government made an all-call. they knew they had a crisis at the border in 2021, and me and a lot of other federal employees, we raised our hand and said, hey, send me, i will go. the children were telling us

that they did not know who they were going to or worse, that they were actually lured here and that they were told, hey, if you come to the united states out of the goodness of my heart, i'm going to pay your journey. but you've got to stay with me, and you have to work off your debt until your debt is paid. and, to of course, the children are never if able to get out of debt bondage. as a matter of fact, still today hhs is stonewalling the data. why is hhs holding on to data that would lead to the rescue of children and the prosecutor -- prosecution of traffickers who are harming the children in ad managers has left a mess. it's broken. this program is program -- this program is broken. rachel: we have children who are basically indentured servants here, and how are they working that off? some of them? lawsuit -- some of them in slaughterhouses, we saw a report from "the new york times" about

that. others in different companies, but some of them are working it off through sex trafficking. this is an absolute, utter scandal. donald trump has promised to clean this up and so has tom homan, but they have a lot of work to do, and this is so criminal. charlie: and every bit of it is the result of intentional policies by the biden administration. they undid all the fixes to the border, and this is the result of it. brian: and she said more transparency, right? is so step one for a guy like rfk jr., let's see what's going on. get all the data out there so we can figure out how to solve it. it's a good first step, and i would say you've got a team here aligned wanting to do that across the government. rachel: it's interesting, i saw on x elon musk actually retweeted it, there was a paper shredding truck that came in front of -- [laughter] that was parked in front of one of these federal buildings, one of these bureaucratic buildings. so you wonder, you know, what are they going to find? are they going to cover their tracks before these guys come in

and shine a light on what's happened. gosh, we've got to pray for those kids because that's really horrible. let's turn now to your headlines. two people are dead and one person is severely hurt after a civil air patrol plane crashed during a training exercise in northern colorado yesterday. the pilot and an aerial photographer died after their mane went down in a wooded area during the training. the third victim was also on the flight, that's according to colorado's governor. the civil air patrol says they plan to cooperate with federal agents as they investigate. a los angeles woman is offering up a $9000 reward to to anyone who can help track down and return her stolen pillow. $900. security footage showing the perp running down a nearby street with the pillow tucked under his arm. but he wasn't done there, making his way onto a person's porch to

steal candy. the woman says the pillow has sentimental value and is from her boyfriend. not sure why it's in the headlines. [laughter] thanksgiving dinner is still 19% more expensive than before the pandemic in 201 despite costs being slightly cheaper this year. the average cost for a meal for ten is expected to cost just over $58 this year which is roughly $10 higher than before the pandemic. prices did fall 5% from last year and 9% from to to 2020. that record was $64. and those are your headlines. so prices coming down, but they're still much higher than they were before the pandemic. if. brian: that's right. their not lowering or indeed. i want to go to this one, because i'm curious to see with where you guys land on this. rachel: it's been a debate in my house. brian: is the kids' table outcandidated? we're going to debate it right knockout. -- right now.

i want to know where charlie is first -- charlie: first of all, many in rachel's house, everything is a kids' table. rachel: that's true. charlie: i mean, i come from a family where, you know, we've never if had kids' tables, we're vehemently to opposedded to kids' tables. everything is -- the problem with that is -- brian: vehemently? charlie: no, no. as soon as you're out of the clip, you need to be at a chair at the table and participating in the conversation. and or, listen, if you have nothing to say, just listen are. brian: so everybody's mixed together at one table. you don't want any separation. charlie: no. brian: youen haven't seen some relatives -- charlie: does that sort of lower or raise the intellectual heft of the conversation at the table in the it's hard to say. brian: maybe it says something about your family. when i was a kid, wayn'ted to get away from the if parents. i wanted to be with my cousins -- charlie: that's why you bring them to the main table. brian: but then you're talking

about politics or a taxes or something. who wants that when you're a kid? lye. rachel: i love the idea of integrating. my family's large, and and i have a huge dining room table. we all fit even when there's guest, however, last years at christmas it was my brother and his -- we were, like, 23, 20-some people, so it was hard -- so we did have a little, separate table right next x. this year the one who is got sat at that table actually the said we don't want to be at the kids' table. brian: what? rachel: so i've to been trying to think about this, do we actually crunch everyone around that table or do we just do a buffet and everyone kind of sits around? i don't know. we've been, actually, debating this because there was some blowback from the kids' table last year. charlie: you've just got to make it work. if anybody can do it, it's a rachel. brian: i think there's something, like, graduating to the adults' table. you're at the kids' table, you get to a certain age and you

migrate that -- there because you choose that conversation. it's a graduation kind of thing. you look at me like i'm crazy. charlie: this is what makes you a good teacher. i'm not a good teacher. it's, like, you're just -- you just need to sit at the main table. learn how to -- brian: i very much want to know, can we do, like, an e-mail thing on this ooh too? rachel: i think this is a great idea. what's your advice when there's too many people, a lot of people, should you separate the kids or just find a way to make it work in. brian: i guess i was in the minority yesterday. i want to know if i am again today. maybe i am just not with it. rachel: e-mailus at friends@foxnews.com. brian: got it. charlie: sounds good. the department of government efficiency recruiting lawmakers to help them trim down government waste. brian: aye s.t.a.r.t. joni ernsl will leaidd the senate doge caucus. shsae joins us next.

no time, already meeting with president-elect trump, elon musk and howard lutnick yesterday at mar-a-lago. join ising us now with more is senator joni ernst. senator, thank you for joining us. >> it's great to be with you, charlie. i'm so excited about this project. charlie: so i was excited when i saw you were going to be taking over the -- be the senate point person because i know you have -- no one has devoted more effort than you have to going after exactly this kind of waste. and you probably know more than anybody else about a where all the bodies are buried when it comes to federal government waste. [laughter] >> yes, absolutely, charlie. when i went into the united states senate ten years ago, my promise was to make 'em squeal. and we are doing just that. with the department of government efficiency. i have ten years worth of work on waste projects.

my if squeal awards go out every single month where i am identifying waste, fraud, abuse within the federal government and then proposing the solutions to end that waste. so just for a few examples, some of the train systems that we have in california, our u.s. taxpayer withs pay for those. there is one train project that cost our taxpayers $1.8 million a day, charlie. and it is not scheduled to be completed for over a decade. so let's stop this. this is irresponsible spending by the federal government. if -- we can talk about the telework activities that we have seen over the curse of the last three years, and federal government employees that are simply not working. they don't want the transparency. they don't want us to to know that they're only working maybe 10 hours a week. we can talk about the vacant buildings that cost us $8

billion a year not to include the maintenance which is nearly that much as well every single year with. so there are so many areas. and through these meetings, i sat down with vivek ramaswamy if this last week, provided him with a blueprint of $2 trillion of savings merely immediately, was able -- nearly immediately, was able the meet with howard lutnick, elon and, of course, our next great president of the united states, donald trump, and visit with them about the goals of doge and how we can take all of the research that has been done in my office over the last decade and provide them with a very clear blueprint for success. charlie: obviously, you've had plenty of successes in this, in your efforts, but it is, it's maddennenning how -- maddening how hard it is to actually get a lot of these things done. how hopeful are you that with this doge effort that you'll be

able to sort of get rid of a much higher percentage of the stuff that you coexpose? -- do expose in. >> well, charlie, that's a great point. s the very difficult. and i have one run up against so many different obstacles when proposing legislation to fix some of these spending issues. and what i would point out to the american taxpayers and your viewers is that those that are pushing against cutting this waves out are usually -- this waves out are usually the fat cats that are actually enjoying this government waste. so there's a lot of spending. i have found some good partners on the democratic side, but we need to see them much more engaged. like going after federal workers who don't want to be tracked when they're teleworking. i've got a great bill that gary peters has joined on, so i know that there are partners. but we look forward to working with the caucus and making sure that doge is successful.

charlie: well, keep up the good work and we thank you, senator ernst. make 'em squeal with. >> you betcha, charlie. thanks so much. charlie: okay. the death penalty was never on the table for illegal immigrant convicted of laken riley thanks to progressive prosecutor. the backlash to the soft on crime approach, that's next. wog would be too much? nahhhh...

♪ ♪ >> your honor, i'm asking you to please give jose ibarra is the the same thing he gave us when he made the choice to take laken's life and drink ours. he showed no mercy on lake when she was begging for her life.

brian: an illegal immigrant is incidentsed to life in prison for killing a georgia nursing student. charlie: but the death penalty was off the table thanks to the soros-backed prosecutor initially in charge of the case. rachel: here to discuss is former d.c. homicide detective and fox news contributor ted williams. ted, i know this is something you're not happy about. talk to us about what this does to the family. i mean, clearly, we see her mom pleading for this. she saw, as we all did, the 18 minutes that her you are daughter fought for her life. we also saw footage yesterday, dead concern ted, of her collapsing on the side of the road when he found out the news that the body that they found was her daughter's. what to do you make of all this? >> you know, guys, i can tell you no family how far to go through what the riley family has had to go through when it

comes to their 222-year-old -- 232-year-old -- 2 22 -- 22-year-old daughter who had everything to live for. she just decided in february of 2024 to go for a jog, and here along this trail she was confronted by this illegal immigrant, jose ibarra. and we know that it was jose ibarra who confronted, stopped her and took a rock and bashed her skull in. we know that by virtue of the physical evidence as well as the scientific evidence that was found there on that scene. and if there was ever, ever a case that called for the death penalty, it was this case. this was a brutal, violent

killing of this young lady, and the death penalty as far as i'm concerned as a lawyer, i can tell you i believe that the death penalty should have been on the table. charlie: you know, politicians all up and down the board have blood on their hands for this case. everywhere from, you know, allowing him9 into the country in the first place, allowing him safe refuge in new york, or releasing him twice and then, obviously, down there in georgia. what was the -- with this prosecutor though, did she have a stated reason why he didn't want to go for the death penalty in -- penalty? >> the prosecutor who has now not been reelected, deborah bonds less, had stated -- gonzalez, had stated approximately four years ago that she did not believe in the death penalty. she believed that she was,

quote-unquote, a progressive prosecutor. but i think what i have to believe is that when prosecutors get into office, they involve. they look at the facts and the circumstances of each individual case, ask they make the decisioe decision as to whether, what the punishment should be. when you look at jose ibarra here who had, as you said, been arrested in several different jurisdictions and nobody put a hold on him, this is certainly an individual who i believe had no social redeeming qualities and that the death penalty itself should have been on the table. brian: well, perhaps it's heart,ing that d.a. who who bring politics into these processes are finding themselves out of a job more and more often now. ted, we've got to leave it there. thank you for being with us today. rachel: thanks, ted. >> my if pleasure. rachel: that's a really fascinating case. first of all, i hate the idea of

george soros being involved. i wish he would just get the heck out of these local races, let the local communities decide what kind of d.a. they want without all of this outside money. it's disgusting. i am philosophically to opposed to the debt penalty, so i'm wondering is that what it's about, that this d.a. is, as i am a, philosophically opposedded, or is there something else about illegal immigrants that she has sort of -- charlie: but you have a principled, philosophical position about this, but you also have a principled, philosophical position about protecting victims. rachel: that's true. that's absolutely right. brian: okay. gas and diesel rvs are set to be banned in six states. the left's environmental pus extreme case of government overreach. introducing new erox, the first fda-cleared ed treatment available without a prescription. eroxon gel is clinically proven to work within ten minutes,

jason, good to see you. i didn't know about this rv gas and diesel rv sales ban in these states. this sounds like just another one of these ploys to make having fun more difficult in addition to making life more costly. where did this come from? >> yeah. so this comes from a law based in california that at lot of other states have tide themselves to as it relates -- tied themselves to to as it relates to going towards evs. as of january 1st next year with, rv sellers have to sell somewhere between 5-7% zero emission vehicles. the problem is ev rvs don't exist. e -- rvs are built on a chassis. the technology barely exists, and, apparently, the only manufacturer that could potentially to do this is ford. but the problem is, none are actually for sale because the whole purpose of an rv is to be able to drive long distances,

live out of them, but batteries don't actually allow them unless you're plugging in every single hour. if you look at what potentially could come, there's a winnebago, for example, that has a ford chassis. it only goes 108 miles per charge -- brian: you can't do cross-country trips, yeah, you can't can that. >> exactly. brian: look, i think rvs are awesome. i would aspire someday to have an rv, okay? i think the people when make these laws don't care about rvs. they probably hate the lifestyle. they hate the fact that people are on the road, and so they make these laws that a make no sense for people who want to live that way. it just seems very elitist to me. >> it is. and, of course, what ends up happening is all of this happens quietly, right? the average person who owns an rv or who's thinking about purchasing an rv, they have no idea this is coming. there are a lot of folks who aren't yet even aware of this coming to their state. i mean, this is all coming. and there's nothing to do to

really get out of it unless we make better political decisions the replace the people who are in charge who keep instituting these kinds of laws. brian: right. >> remember, this isn't just about rvs. this particular issues also applies to heavy trucks, and ultimately, the same states that are let'sed, that also in 2023 if -- listed, in 2035 we're going forced into purchasing regular ev vehicles and that's a problem because we don't have the infrastructure for them. brian: yes. it's not just is recreational vehicles, it's the things people use to make a living and saying people want to ban rv sales or, they're going to go of after trucks as well. we've got to leave it there, jason. really good stuff. thanks for bringing us that story. >> appreciate it, thank you. brian: let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for a weather forecast and, again, by that lovely tree. rick: isn't it nice? telephone is -- season is here. everyone wants to know if

they're going to be able to travel. today is a pretty good one. here's your massachusetts a little snow up across the inner-mountain west, that storm across the northeast, that's pretty much out of here. wednesday, the buzziest -- busiest travel day, one storm causing prop problems in or out of denver. chicago, possibly a trouble spot on wednesday and, to obviously, so many flights go through the chicago area. maybe your flight connects through chicago, you want to watch also to to see if your plane is coming, connecting through chicago. might want to check ahead. the east coast looks good. thursday, though, that storm makes its way toward the east, so macy's parade, potentially big problems. we're going to see snow across ther into if your section. where exactly the tomorrow goes, could be dealing with problems for the sayses -- cities thursday, into friday. the next seven days a series of storms are going to plague us. the rest remains active, rain, mountain snow even down towards

l.a. and then this across much of the east as well. brian, back to you. brian: keeping an wry out for charlie hitchhiking this week. that could be fun. pick him up, if you see him.

should have moved, actually, a long time ago as to most californians are fleeing. now is not the time to to leave because we are about to enter into a phase of total affordability and a booming economy. i guess right move for them but wrong timing. rachel: yeah. i think it's a little weird. you're leaving america as we're about to also enter into an era of freedom, right? no more censorship. and she's moving to this, like, places that's descending into tyranny. people get arrested for praying outside in england and, by the way, they're gobbling up farmland, too, from small farmers, so maybe ellen's farm might be gobbled up. >> she's one of the gobbleerers. enjoy the monarchy. rachel: we're staying here in the land of the free. justin trudeau dances at a taylor swift concert as montreal descends into flames and riots. i mean, do do we have footage of him dancing? yeah, look at this. what's the real crime here in. >> well, his dancing.

cringey. here's the thing, if he was at the concert of a iowa land sis more set, justin bieber, it would work. he's supporting people from the commonwealth. the reality is montreal right now is absolutely in chaos, and he's enjoying an american singer. so i think it sends the wrong message. it's the optics. and when you're prime minister, you are on 24 hours a day. this kind of thing ors it doesn't look good, right in let them eat cake, it doesn't look good. rachel: to do we have the picture of him at the barbie premiere? did we ever get that? if we kid, it would explain it. [laughter] all right, jason aldean's wife blamed wokeness after billboard snubbed her husband from the 1000 great- 100 greatest country artists of all times list. remember when i said it's been a journey standing up for what i believe? this is a prime example of jason being left out of things in the industry. billboard, your wokeness, obviously, overrides your ability to give credit where

credit is cue. so here's the issue, her husband has, like, i think 24 number one singles. kind of weird he was left off that the lift. -- that list. remember also she is the one who came out against the transing of trish, so -- of children, so shl positions and hers are what led to her being left off the list. >> jason aldean's record is incredible, no pun if intended. millions of albums sold, over 28 number one songs, is fact that he didn't make the top 100 i think confuses everyone not just in the industry, but fans alike. look, they're not wrong with johnny cash at number one, but let's just say i hope that in the next go-around of the top 100 artists of all time he, indeed, has a place near the top as he well deserves. and mrs. aldean is not wrong for thinking it's a product. time. as we enter if into this new era, i think that there'll be a lot more freedoms and a lot more

embrace of this amazing couple. rachel: yeah. let's hope nashville stops being so woke. it's so not country. all right, a 35-year-old man, so in new york city they're getting advice from grandmas on the streets. so here's what this 35-year-old man says. listen. >> she was here for me and a message that i needed to hear, you know? i'm just very thankful and, like, being able to do something like is very kind. >> talking to him made me feel that i had done something really worthwhile, i had addedded value really to his life, and it added value to my life. rachel: emily,s this is really sweet. what is this saying about our culture in general that we have to get this kind of elderly grandma advice from strangers on the street? >> yes or you nailed it, that was my whole issue. it is is sweet. of course, when you hang out with grandmothers and intimately connect with other humans, you will feel good, and it is mutual.

the issue is that people have to find it on the sidewalk because they're living on their phones, because they have been disconnected from the family unit. yes to this, but it starts in the home, and i hope all these millennials take -- rachel: yeah. if your grandma's in a nursing home, go see her. >> perfect. rachel: better yet, bring her home.
