>> yeah, well, again, there this is another one of those national security threats that are going to be left to the new administration. israel wants the southern -- their southern border to be peaceful and secure. and that means that hezbollah is going to have to move back behind the la la tan any river. the u.n. has been unable to do it. lebanese army so far unable as well. israel wants to move their citizens back into northern israel. 60 to 70,000 of them had to flee. and serious impact on them and also the economy. but, again, another real challenge for the united states going forward. >> carley: with israel fighting a war on multiple fronts it's going to be a school to wrap that one all up as well. dan, thank you for joining us. have great day.

pardoning tradition later on "fox & friends" starts right now and remember mornings are better with friends. >> steve: gobble it up. ♪ steve christmas tree on fox square lighted up on friday night. it's 50 feet tall. it's got 18,000 ornaments on it. 340,000 warm white, true white, and red lights and at the top as you can see right there, a dove which symbolizes peace and love and freedom and it's perfect out there on fox square. how gorgeous is that?

>> ainsley: gorgeous. >> lawrence: it feels like that type of morning. >> brian: can i say that i have never heard that before? who was that? >> steve: was the jonas brothers. >> brian: that was really good. but i have never heard that before. >> lawrence: this is my favorite time of the year. you got all the christmas trees on set. big christmas tree. all-american christmas tree outdoors. and then everyone comes and stops by to view. >> steve: right. >> lawrence: then there is music playing outside. >> steve: brian, going back to the jonas brothers, you know, they're from my town. >> this is a secret i have never told on tv. but, before they were famous, somebody in the jonas brothers circle of friends and trying to get them on tv left a cd with christmas music and other stuff they had done in my mailbox and said they would be great on "fox & friends." >> brian: are you kidding? >> steve: i brought it to our producer at the time and what do you think? eh, not ready.

>> lawrence: no way. >> steve: sorry, jonas brothers. you could have made it five years earlier. >> ainsley: i can't believe thanksgiving is here. have you shopped? have you bought your groceries? are you cooking? >> steve: no. >> brian: news on this front. probably going to disturb the producers. on the request of my son. we are going italian. he can we admit we don't want turkey and going to go lasagna? >> steve: we're going to do a deuce on the loose in the third hour a majority of americans say turkey is not their favorite part of thanksgiving. least favorite part. >> lawrence: we do it for tradition. i like fried turkey but only the skin. i really am not a turkey guy. but i feel like yoe pilgrims. >> ainsley: we can do turkey dinner together i like the meat. not the skin. it gross me out. >> lawrence: you don't eat fried chicken either? >> ainsley: i eat the inside of it. i don't like the skin it grosses me out.

sometimes can you see -- if you look closely you see some weird stuff. >> brian: should we admit now we junt be hitting giblets it's body organs? they chop up all the organs pancreas, everything. >> steve: there is no pancreas. it's the gizzard and liver and stuff like that. in our last cookbook we came up with a solution to turkey that you don't like. we wrapped it in bacon. >> lawrence: i like that. >> ainsley: let's move onto the news. future white house is taking shape as president-elect donald trump wraps up the final picks for the second administration in 18 days. >> brian: every time you blink there is another person named. brooke singman shows us who will be running. >> good morning. >> we are getting a better idea of what trump's second run in the white house will look like after the president-elect made more key appointments over the weekend. so, first, trump rounding out his cabinet by nominating scott bessent for treasury secretary.

oregon congressman dare member for. turner to lead the department of housing and you are began development. former white house aid and the president of america first policy institute brooke rollins for secretary of agri culture son here's a look at the more than 40 appointments the president-elect has made so far filling his entire cabinet in just 18 days. trump's picks are getting notice for having background not very typical of a republican white house. including former democrats, tulsi gabbard and robert f. kennedy jr. focus now is moving over to the senate as trump hopes to have all of his picks confirmed as quickly as possible with little added pressure on senate republicans after the g.o.p. picked up a 53 seat majority this election. major cabinet rejections are rare and the last one came in 1989 with former president

george h.w. bush's nominee for defense secretary john tower, guys? >> brian: everyone wanted to focus okay pete hegseth, tulsi gabbard and r.f.k. i think they are all going to be interesting. u gov poll shows r.f.k. is the most popular nominee. one thing that's clear so diverse. they are slogically, bonded by e thing, they are -- by the way they used to think negative world the maga world. they agree on the trump team. but they have their all points of view which i think makes it fascinating. >> lawrence: maga coalition which have you some that are more progressive. some that are hawks. you have some that are more independent-minded. you have some former democrats. and that's really the electorate that we saw this past election. different coalitions. they used to be really called biden coalition. he used to talk about them all the time. trump stole them away with the agenda. now you see reflective in the

cabinet. >> ainsley: i was looking at this list, look at all these faces right here. men and women. >> steve: we know most of them. >> ainsley: susie knowles, pam bondi, dr. janette nesheiwat. exciting surgeon general over the weekend. linda mcmahon, lori chafsz drem member. brook rawlins such a difference 8 years makes, when donald trump got elected. his transition stuff was essentially developed. brewed up by chris christie. he did not follow what chris christie back in 2016. and he wound up getting people in his cabinet that he didn't really know. i remember he was asking people hey, what do you think about this job? people would go i don't know what about this person? >> is he still doing that. >> steve: he would. think time he has a list. what is he doing is looking at people who have experience but who are loyal and people who are

maga aligned that does not exclude john fetterman, the senator from the great state of pennsylvania from, perhaps supporting -- he doesn't say all of the cabinet nominations but sounds like he is not going to prehate them that's the word of the day, pre-hate. watch. i'm going to have a conversation with anyone that i'm open to having part of that conversation. and there are some people that i just couldn't be able to vote for that. and some that might be enthusiastically vote yes. hey, we're going to engage int conversation. >> ainsley: mar said the same thing i'm not i'm not going to prehate. the audience laughed. they are going to give all these individuals a chance. >> steve: a share not. >> ainsley: 59% of the cbs poll americans 59% support this trump transition and his agenda. >> steve: so far so good according to tha the cabinet liberal and united

by maga ideologically diverse cabinet of modern times. how europe and i don't really study european parliament. that's the way they assemble their cabinet. game on. and then. >> ainsley: what do they mean by liberal though? >> steve: essentially what they are talking about a team of rivals. people from all different ideological background all united under the maga flags. >> brian: never rivals of the president. tulsi gabbard in the past said some things i'm against take out soleimani. r.f.k. jr. obviously was a rival of the president. steve, right on the money on that. but the rest are people -- these are my views. i want you on board but understand i'm calling the shots. marco rubio, people -- he is more of a traditional republican. but mike waltz more of a traditional republican. working for somebody who has a different vision but is he going to take their input. that's what i'm fast is sin nateed to see this whole thing develop. best thing about it is they get to earn their spot through the

nomination process. if they don't have the answers if they're an inch deep they will blow up. if they are deep, people are going toe be really encouraged and i know they are. they are going to be encouraged about what they bring to the table. >> lawrence: next phase of this process. signature issue for the former president and now president-elect donald trump. which is what is happening at the border. we have been told about the compassion when it comes to mass deportations but no one is talking about what's happening to the kids that are crossing this border. chris ole virus with texas departdepartment of public safed this interview at the border without her parents, watch. [speaking spanish]

>> steve: 2-year-old a part of a group of migrants crossing over into maverick county. there were 60 unaccompanied minors. 60, little kids like that. and do you know what? no parents to be seen. there she is showing that she is 2 years old. all she has got is that piece of paper. on that piece of paper is a name and a phone number her entire future is on that piece of paper couldn't imagine you lose that piece of paper. that's the way this system is set up. that's how the cartels are gaming it. there's the person. they are going to call that number. they are going to say we have got this little girl down at the southern border, maverick county, how can we get her to you? >> ainsley: do they actually call the number? >> steve: they actually do. >> ainsley: put them back together with mom and dad. >> steve: it's not mom and dad it's oftentimes human traffickers. >> ainsley: she said mom and dad. >> steve: i know that's what she said. that's probably what she was told. >> ainsley: why would mom and dad come across without their

child. >> steve: right. >> ainsley: why would they send their child? is that how desperate they are? what is the reason? but, it breaks your heart when you see this happening and this little girl, no telling who she is going. to say it's a safety issue. who is she going to? is she going to be trafficked? is she going to some person who is going to put her to work and pay her -- on your show this weekend you talked about how they are told you are making $2 a day down in mexico. you can make $6 an hour if you go to america. that's the ploy to get them to come and then they come here and they never pay off their debt and they have to keep working. >> brian: she asked to help when she showed up, she wasn't playing puzzles, she wasn't playing jacks with these kids. she was realizing they were being sent out with strangers the government made all call. they knew they had a crisis at the border in 2021. me and a

lot of other federal employees we raised our hands and said send me. i will go. i thought i would be doing puzzles and playing games with the kids. 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 have got stay with me and you have to work off your debt until your debt is paid. and, of course, the children are never able to get out of debt bondage. they have done incredible things to hide the story. 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 prosecution of traffickers who are ri harming e children? the administration has left a mess. it's broken. this program is broken. this can be fixed with a new

administration. >> brian: r.f.k. is the right person. she as it talked to him already. >> lawrence: hhs manages that when it comes to separated children. i was listening to the debate back and forth. some of them their parents are here. some of them their parents aren't there they traffic them. pump the girls coming across the border with birth control. a lot of those young girls are raped. part of the thing that was not discussed about the separating children from the parents, sometimes it's not their families. and that is a huge problem. >> that's why they got the d.n.a. kits down to the border. do you know what biden did? we are stopping that. >> >> steve: that little girl was by herself. here is the number of your parents in the united states. that's what she was told. she doesn't know if they are actually going to be there

children in the coming right now there is an eye opening piece right now in the "new york times" talking about millions and millions of migrants in the country right now illegally. what they are doing -- they are freaking out. they hear that donald trump is going it change everything, so they are racing to get ahead on the crackdown. they are calling immigration lawyers. going to information meetings by ngos they are trying to inoculate themselves. peoplee themselves. people with green cards who are fine trying to become citizens quickly as they can got that paper. what they are doing is they are trying to get an asylum claim and ultimately people who are involved in relations with americans are trying to marry those americans so they get a crean card right now.

>> brian: children get separated from parents six week window in 2017 was a huge deal. we could have been seeing that video from day one for the last four years, a little girl saying i'm 2 years old and telling her story. i'm wondering if it's because biden lost. now the border patrol is given more freedom to put these people on camera to show the urgency of the story tom homan i love that he is out front right now and not quiet. is he getting everybody ready for what is going to be happening and giving everyone a comprehensive course what he is up against. happening today menendez brothers will be seen and heard for the first time in decades, virtual status hearing as their attorney ask a judge to reconsider their convictions. lawrence la todd piro has a preview. >> todd: menendez brothers are expected to make that appearance during today's status hearing. the attorneys for lyle and eric will be asking a los angeles county superior court judge to reconsider their convictions now the brothers are likely to attend this hearing virtually

from a san diego prison they have been serving life sentences without the possibility of parole for the shotgun murders of their parents back in 1989. they claim they killed their parents out of self-defense, alleging that they were abused. last month outgoing d.a. george gascon requested that they resentence the brothers and make them eligible for parole after claims presented including claims from roy rosello that he was raped by thes' father jose menendez as well as a letter to his cousin describing how his father sexually abused them. california governor gavin newsom will not decide on granting the brothers clemson deferring the case to incoming republican l.a. d.a. nathan hochman who is set to be sworn in on december 2nd. sentencing request is scheduled to to be considered on december 11th. those two brothers now 55 and 56 years old have repeatedly appealed their convictions without success. the status hearing which is onto

the limited public appear ten dance 1:30 eastern time. >> that movie that came out that talked about it reenactment on netflix people care about this. especially cleaning kids. >> these guys -- thanks, todd, these guys are monsters duke could you series less sense advertised to it. brought you to the free britney movement entire online free britney. years later after britney is living her life you realize she is unstable. we can't be having -- it's great to be informed by and create a movement but we shouldn't be creating legal precedent from

docuseries they killed heir are -- >> steve: in the second trial where they were sent away forever, without a chance of parole, they wanted to present the information that their dad had physically and sexually abused them and none of that information was allowed. and so that is what this is all about is will they be able to hear it? mark geragos, the defense attorney for either one of those guys, eric or lyle, he is going to ask a judge to resentence them on a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. and they have already served three times that amount of time so it is up to the judge if he would do that, it obviously comes down to the parole board. >> ainsley: they found a letter, allegedly that, one of the boys had written to his cousin. i think the cousin has passed away now, so he won't be able to

take the stand. in the letter it was dated before they killed their parents. and so it said in the letter, it alluded to the fact that he was being abused by his father, sexually assaulted by his father. so that's what they want to submit in court. i was listening to mark geragos over the weekend. he said a lot of people will ask me well then they were adults. they could have walked out. they could have left. they could have told someone. they could have left the house. they didn't have to live with their dad if he is doing. they said a lot of my response to that is a lot of women stay with their husbands when they are abusing them and they don't have a way out. >> brian: new d.a. is definitely got to get back and study the case. 10 minutes before the bottom of the hour. carley good morning to you. >> carley: good morning to you. more news to get. to say major news overseas in the middle east. israel is reportedly moving closer toward a cease-fire deal with hezbollah. according to several reports. israel tentatively agreeing to a u.s.-backed cease-fire deal. we are still awaiting details of a plan. however, no final deal has been reached.

what we are dealing with in terms of big storm systems. so we have this front and an area of low pressure across the great lakes, behind it very cold air. next storm system moves into the west. coastal rain and mountain snow and then we have got that area of low pressure across the great lakes, bringing some snow. some rain. this is not the big event. this is just a weak system that could delay travel today and tomorrow for the east coast. and then our next system develops on wednesday. and as we get into thursday. hopefully everyone is where they should be because this going to get a little bit stronger off the coast on thursday afternoon into the evening. and friday is a better travel day as people head home. a little burst of snow on saturday and sunday. and there's your airport delay forecast for today. not too bad. this is a good travel day. it's tomorrow and then wednesday and thursday we will be tracking those storm systems. fox weather.com for all of your latest details. also want to tell you about something that i'm going to be doing december 14th. heading to asheville, north

carolina. for a toy drive. giving toys to kids that were devastated by that hurricane earlier this season. hurricane helene. a lot of kids are not going to have christmas. so they are going to depend on your donations and here's how to do it if you look right there. give, send, go.com/holiday toy drive. tunnel 2 towers is teaming up with made's toy store and we are going to be delivering toys to all the kids in asheville. all right. brian, a great cause. i can't wait to head out there. people are still living in tents you, and we still need to cover this storm. this might be the only christmas that some of these families get. so we do depend on your donations. >> brian: that is awesome. we are not taking our foot off the pedal and trying to help the people of north carolina. you cannot overestimate how devastating it's been. it's great that you are doing that, janice, hopefully we will hear from that again later in the hour and throughout the week leading up to december 14th. meanwhile, a real busy weekend for president-elect donald

trump. he is filling more positions after more positions after more positions. he has 15 cabinet secretaries named. let's go through some of them. scott bessent i have been talking to him on the radio 15, 20 times. talking about vision and tariffs and the economy. he might be in the most important position for the president to be successful. he got the job. he used to work with george soros. he ran for -- i helped al gore get elected donated to him. somewhat of a transformation when he got into wall street and now firmly in the trump camp. by the way openly gay. dr. janette nesheiwat hear from television. also know this she was pro-vaccine. she was at the cusp of it treating patients positive before we noe knew where this virus was coming from. she has incredible amount of composure on camera. able to communicate fantastically with a great medical background. lori chavez dremmer. know her background. lost congressional seat race in

oregon fess who is happy about this? prounion for the most part but actually, for example with labor she understands et need for free market and understands, too. that blue collar workers got president trump into office. russ vought. people want to point out project 2025, yeah he contributed to it like 900 pages people contribute to a conservative doctrine that are conservative and the biggest think tank in washington. do you know what is important about russ vought. omv director last time firmly in the trump camp. alex wong. one of alex wong's greatest accomplish. s and working with mike waltz underneath him as deputy security adviser he helped broker the north korean situation. helped broker the president going across, establishing communications and they tried to get the framework of a deal it. fell short but don't be surprised if that is reinvigorated again. scott turner, nfl background. played 8 years in the nfl.

he has been in and out of the -- understands the needs in the urban environment. brooke rollins, secretary of agriculture chair of the brookings institute. understands what trump wants to get across and also understands, too. working hand in hand with hhs secretary nominee r.f.k. talking about how the farmers can play a part in the revitalization of agriculture in america where we can get healthy again. meanwhile, axios is calling this the most ideologically diverse cabinet of modern times. very hard to criticize when you have such a diverse cabinet. you have got to pick your spots, democrats if you want to knock out any of them. my hope is they will climb aboard and get this thing done by the end of january. before the end of january like joe biden. here to discuss this and more is washington examiner chief correspondent fox news contributor byron york. byron, you can't really label this conservative or moderate or liberal. why do you think trump did it

this way? >> well, you know, we have known since trump came down the escalator in 2015 that he is just not a conventional republican. and over the years a lot of conventional republicans, jeb bush, marco rubio, ted cruz back in 2016, nikki haley, this year, a lot of more conventional republicans have opposed him. and i think with -- in this case we really really should have gn idea when trump had president of the teamsters union speak to the republican national convention. something interesting was going on. and you just went through a list of some of the ideologically diverse picks that he has made. and you have to remember the bigger reason he is doing this is why he was elected. he was elected to fix the economy and fix the border. almost everything else was secondary to those goals. >> brian: byron, something else to bring up. when you stop the xl pipeline. when you stop all these things, you are hurting unions.

unions got hurt. those deals were done. and they discombobulated them. men and women are were out of work. he wants to get that going again. when you put mandates for electric cars, you are hurt guilty the combustion engine people, which, for the most part are the american people still want. let electric cars compete. when you do that less workers, new plants and it hurts the other workers who suddenly have a slow down with their company. that's when the lines got blur you had. joe biden could pretend to be on packet line. what did he actually do? >> you know, the interesting thing, kind of the undertone of what you are saying is, trump really believes most of our economic problems are energy problems. that if we just freed up the energy industry to sell and process all of the oil and natural gas that it could find, including selling it overseas, which the biden administration has tried to stop, if you do

that, you really set off an economic boom. and his energy team, doug burgum, for example, in the interior department. his energy team is going to do that for him. if you listen to him through the campaign. he said drill, baby, drill, in every single appearance. >> brian: you can be environmentally sensitive and also use our natural resources to make america safe again it. helps our allies in this war setting we are in especially in europe. byron york, it's going to be an exciting time. especially with the confirmation hearings. we have about two months to digest their background. appreciate it? >> thank you, brian. >> brian: you are welcome. a story most of america is really entranced by. menendez brothers return to court today. >> they will speak out. could they actually be released from prison? we'll talk about it. ♪

>> stowed california ai lyle and eric menendez back in court for a status hearing.

both brothers have been serving life sentences without the possibility for parole for killing both their parents in 1989. outgoing l.a. district attorney george gascon recommended the case be resentenced which is a decision the next d.a. wants to review here to discuss is l.a. county deputy district attorney john lewin. good morning to you. >> good morning, steve, i just have to tell you in advance that obviously i'm appearing. i'm not a representative of george gascon or the d.a.'s office piece opinions are my own. i need to make sure i clarify that. >> steve: start at the beginning. today for attorneys for both these men now are going to ask the judge to reconsider the sentencing given the fact there was that you will evidence they abused the boys back in the 1980 they weren't able to present. that's what is he going to say to the judge, then what happens?

>> today, the judge has already said the hearing will take place on december 11th. what have you is you have got an expublic defender who spent almost 30 years in the public defender's office came over schroder while ago took over re-sentencing. in essence defense attorneys on both sides. you have geragos and his people representing the menendez brothers. and you have what district attorneys also representing the menendez brothers. what you are going to see today is the cooperation what is in essence a joint d.a. kind of that can a raiding. defense attorney masquerading as d.a. see them try push a judge to make a decision today. i don't think it's going to happen. it would not surprise me if the

judge decides that he needs more time so that he can properly assess new d.a. nathan hochman more time than december 11th to figure out what his position is going to be? so i understand the brothers are going to be appearing virtually because they are incarcerated, i think, in san diego. they are going to be beamed in to the court where the judge will talk about things today. you mentioned mark geragos. he would like to see them resentenced on voluntary manslaughter, given all this new stuff that he intends to present to the judge. but ultimately -- if the judge decides okay, doesn't it still have to behave to be decided bye board whether or not these guys are sprung? >> so, even if they are a couple different ways that this can go. if they ended up -- let's say the judge resentences to voluntary manslaughter, that would mean that they already served all of their time.

it wouldn't be a matter of parole. because, by operation of law. they would have completed their sentences if on the other hand. prosecution in original motion resentenced to basically life sentences. life with parole. what would happen is that they would immediately be eligible for parole. that would then -- they would have to schedule a parole hearing parole board would have to roll and then up to governor newsom whether or not he wants to honor if parole is given or to reverse it if that is his decision. >> steve: all right. let's see what happens in court today. john, thank you very much for getting up so early out there in california today. >> no problem, steve. happy to do it. >> steve: thank you very much, sir. all right. of course, we will have coverage throughout the day right here on fox. meanwhile, the latest episode of the saints on fox nation tells a story of john the baptist. the actor who plays john coming up next.

>> ainsley: the second episode

of martin scorsese's present the saints now streaming on fox nation. it's all about john the baptist. >> repent. the kingdom of god is here! repent. the messiah is among us! come and be baptized in the river jordan and repent. >> ainsley: actor that ha are a haney joins us now. good morning to you. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> thank you for coming on and making time for us. what was it like? tell us about this episode and what it was like to play him expw good question, i have watched the episode. obviously i didn't write the episode so i worked with what was there and i think it captures to some extent the

essence and importance of john the baptist is in his quest for truth conscious and desirous paving the way as he says in the series namely jesus repentance, during back to god. i thought about it as to what repentance actually means. and to some extent it's just believing in mercy. attempt to incarnate the role bearing in mind i'm not a saint and i wouldn't even purport to

be able to qualify myself as anyone even remotely close to the saintlessness of john the baptist huge responsibility and i tried my best. >> ainsley: did you a beautiful job. yes, i have read about his life, my entire life. and just someone that we all admire. he was so brave. was willing to be elm prisoned because he loved his cousin jesus so badly and knew that was his calling on his life. angel appeared to his parents and said you will have a son and name him john. actually baptized jesus and the heavens opened. this is what martin scorsese says about john the baptist. watch this. >> with john the baptist, of course, we are yawrsed to seeing him strong and muscular and unshakeable. when you stop and think about him that i think we realize he must have been going through some real agony trying to find a spiritual path, his spiritual

path, which ultimately, i think he understood, ultimately is going to lead to his martyrdom. >> ainsley: what is your reaction to that i can't ha? >> finding one spiritual path is agonizing. can i only speak to moo spiritual endeavor. at least saints they had it very difficult because they chose a specific way notwithstanding the risks associated with it. i just hope that it inspires some people to just, you know, be inspired by the messages of truth, of compassion, of mercy, and, above all, of humility. actually, if i may say so, one of the best -- because humility is a term and various subjective desks of what humility is, but

there is one french philosopher whom i really admire, her name is see more. weil. and she wrote a book waiting for god. and there is -- i think it's another one of her writings where she defines humility as an intelligent form of just the capacity of attention and there is a lot of nuances under that definition, but the fact that you know, we are all in this together and there is something incredibly miraculous about being here and it's a journey for each one of us which may be agonizing sometimes but also uplifting in others. >> ainsley: absolutely. i can relate to that. you might be persecuted and in john the baptist case it caused him to die eventually for being a christian or to standing up for what he believed in and talking about jesus. thank you so much, you did a beautiful job. i encourage everyone to go and watch it. it's on fox nation. >> thank you so much. >> ainsley: thank you. got bless you.
