>> steve: well, it is 8:00 in new york city, it is 40 degrees on this monday of thanksgiving week. it is monday. november 25, 2024, welcome to the final hour of "fox and friends" today. >> brian: today menendez brothers will be seen and heard. >> ainsley: incoming border czar coming to texas, as a two-year-old girl is trying to enter this country. >> venezuela?

[not speaking english] >> lawrence: unbelievable. and storms threaten travel plans, what you need to know. >> s >> steve: good morning, final hour of "fox and friends" starts right now. >> ainsley: today menen tdez brothers will be seen and heard. >> todd: the brothers will make an appearance during today's hearing. their attorney system asking a judge to reconsider their conviction. the brothers likely to attend vurtually, they have been serving for the murder much their parents.

george gascon has suggested the brothers be eligible for parole after evidence their father raped a former pop star and a letter from eric menendez describing how their father abused him. here is what this hearing will look like. >> you will see joint effort by a d.a. masquerading and see them try to push a judge to make a decision today. i don't think it will happen and would not surprise me if the judge decides he needs more time. >> todd: gavin newsom says he will reference the case to

has hofashgsman. today's hearing beginning 1 tiem t1:30 p.m. eastern time. back to you. >> steve: it sounds as if likely outcome of today and december 11, a judge will say i need more time to figure it out. their defense team will say, you know what, they wound up with life in prison without chance of parole. they are asking judge to rehear it. if they wind up with life in prison with parole, it would be up to the parole board. if they go along with what has been suggested where they are convicted and found guilty of voluntary manslaughter, they have served that time and could

be sprung. >> brian: if these guys get special attention, this is going to give fuel to people who say, there are two tiers of the justice, white rich kids because of high profile nature and d docuseries or is this justice? >> ainsley: we watched the doshs ocuseries and they had a real doc documentary of them. i really after watching that, believe that they had been sexually assaulted by their dad. makes you feel sorry for them. no one should kill their parents. walk away, tell someone. they looked up to their dad, their dad was scary, that is how they portrayed themselves. i did think they were sexually

assaultd and that letter came out that he wrote his cousin saying this is still going on. you said, they did kill their parents. >> lawrence: i enjoy the series and it is interesting as a crime observer, i think its has gone too far and we start relitigating cases and even if everything they said is true, if someone is a witness to a crime taking place, you get to murder them, too. they said she was a witnes that as well? think about this stuff logically and i brought up this example earlier. when bittany spears and that case happened, everybody was like free, bittany. now there are videos and bittany

is not all there. we did not have all the facts, we had producers that put that out there and not the full story. >> steve: pear depends what they are charged with. had they been charged with voluntary murder, they would have been eligible for parole. they went for and got first-degree murder with no chance of murder. mark is saying, there is evidence now that was not presented and it changes everything. >> ainsley: they are both married, that is interesting. >> steve: a lot going on in prison these days. >> steve: seven after top of the hour. democratic cities are vowing to push back on donald trump's mass

deportation plan. >> ainsley: unaccompanied migrant children are crossing into texas. >> brian: madeleine rivera. >> madeleine: blue state prosecutors have been preparing for months. democratic attorneys generals say they may challenge president-elect trump if he tries fo to federalize national guard or hold fund ing from cities. prosecutors worry trump administration is better prepared to withstand legal challenges, as it moves forward with a mandate it says it has been given. yesterday theres a group of migrants with 60 unaccompanied minors, including two-year-old little girl.

[not speaking english] >> madeleine: denver mayor mike j jo johnston made a comment to local news about sending police officers to the line to keep federal forces from deporting migrants. here is rand paul. >> if mayor of denver resist federal law, if he resists that, it will go to supreme court and i suspect he would be removed from office. >> madeleine: denver's mayor backtracked the comments. tom homan is expected to travel to the border tomorrow and be joined by texas governor greg

abbott. >> brian: tom homan bexplaining what he's doing, getting people ready. they are not bringing up the wall. now it is like, we're not bringing it up and democrats are for the wall. >> ainsley: tom homan was on with mark last night, great interview. he said if you want to come to america and have a bab, your baby becomes an american citizen, you can leave with or without your baby, your baby can stay. people are saying that is the separating families. he said what if someone commits a crime? he's going to prison without the child, that is separating families. >> lawrence: that two year old

said her parents are in the country. should be arrested immediately. there is always talk of compassion, what about compassion for this two year old. if that were you and you left your two-year-old, they would take that child away from you. that little girl that ran out in traffic last week, they are investigating her. >> steve: there is a name and phone number on that post-it note, there is good possibility that the mother and fath er put her on that journey, they separated themselves from her. coarse if the parents was in venezuela, who is she going to meet? they separated themselves as a family. mark tom said on levine, states

that do not cooperate with deportation, they will slash their federal funding and reason we know this is probably going to happen, a lot of things trump administration tried to do eight years ago, did not work because it was challenged in court. they are trying to court-proof things. you can write an executive order, check all these i think thises. >> brian: stupidest thing ever, take the special anticipate, if you are from cuba, venezuela, and haiti and nicaragua, if you live in horrible regime, you get in. you are incentivizing people to come to the border with a special pass, many of which are

gangsters. on democrats and fall-out, looking into what has gone wrong,a dam schiff says entire democratic party is to blame. and it makes you wonder, no one brought up if it was intentional. >> ainsley: when you have counters that say we're not flying them back, why not take them to another country. >> lawrence:ef stereo, you are so right, stop them right there. >> steve: it is no-brainer. brian, democrats pointing f fingers, lead story in politico talks about kamala harris being on varcasion in hawaii. her future, i'm staying in the fight, she says, she will run in

2028 or governor in two years in california. she will probably give speeches and keep her political connection and figure out where to live. >> lawrence: necessary 2020 voters rejected her, she was first out. then runs for president, they shoe her in and she gets rejected and lost every swing state and let's do this again. >> steve: billion and a half. >> lawrence: go for it. >> brian: obamas wanted to stay in d.c., they have never been more onned sideline, they are sullying their reputation. i wonder, no one is happy in d.c., why stay there if you

didn't have to. >> ainsley: you watched the sunday shows. >> brian: different message, more informational, fascinating, every republican was given a chance to talk. >> lawrence: they are looking at ratings and people were leaving because they were lied to and now they are going to barbers and diners, but they are late to the party. >> steve: they don't want to wind up with egg on their face, if donald trump does a fraction of what he said he will do, it will be valued great success. i was in florida over the weekend and people said, let's see. >> lawrence: give him a shot. >> steve: going back to fetterman, give him a shot, he

is president and we're american. >> brian: carley, i want you to be involved in this, you have a growing family. earlier i told you that people who did a great thing and said we're in middle of the pandemic, i was going down to florida and there is an rv. i said, wow, i have two dogs, i'll be in a winnebego, i had 15 minutes of lesson, how hard can this be? one of the most stressful things i've done. >> lawrence: you told a crazy story, watch. >> remember when brian rented the rv. >> brian: they built toll booths that were too narrow, and i'm not a fantastic truck driver, i

went through and i hear something, it is me, i'm scraping t. do you realize you are scraping the door, i go up there and realize i have two dogs in the car and they need to get out, we can't get out of the car. i called the guy that i rented it from, did you hit anything? might have hit the toll booth. >> steve: cautionary tale for anybody traveling via rv. >> lawrence: don't. >> lawrence: this only happens to brian. >> ainsley: the damage is not bad as i thought. why did the door not open? >> brian: door was scraped. and we had to tape it.

>> lawrence: you look exhausted. >> ainsley: how did you have room? >> steve: did you lose -- >> brian: my family never came to visit me. my dog tried to. >> steve: did you lose your security deposit or have to pay for damage? >> brian: i did not have to pay for damage, they were insured. >> steve: you said too narrow. the winnebego is eight feet and five inches wide. a toll booth plaza in new jersey is 12 feet, you essentially had two feet on each side. i think you drifted. >> ainsley: i think you got nervous -- >> steve: leave driving to lawrence's dad. >> lawrence: let my dad do it.

>> brian: a lesson. >> ainsley: did you make it to wally world? >> carley: stressful. >> brian: it was. i'm not going to touch that thing until i have to go back. when you go through the tunnel in baltimore and you are in new jersey, all hell breaking loose. >> carley: after stressful week of work, that is your week. >> brian: my neck. >> ainsley: i'm sure. could you hire someone to drive you? i would love to do this. >> lawrence: this is em emasculating, she has a -- can't you just hire someone. >> brian: quit and realize you're terrible. >> ainsley: if you hire someone, they are on vacation with you entire time. >> brian: carley will be in this spot soon. >> carley: family vacation, it has only been me and my husband. >> brian: i have two dogs.

>> steve: with one son brock you don't need an rv. >> carley: he is like three children. >> ainsley: he is. >> steve: clark, great story. >> ainsley: go throw the lights that.e >> lawrence: more "fox and friends." ♪
