little smaller tree. and coming right to our place where yesterday we were opening up the fence and people were taking pictures in front of it. it was really cool. >> lawrence: is our christmas tree bigger than that christmas tree? >> brian: probably not. >> lawrence: i like the move. it's very texas of fox to make it bigger. i actually -- i'm going to make that to the executives let's make it bigger. even just one inch. >> lawrence: lawrence bigger is better. >> brian: can you build the memorial there don't make it bigger than the washington monument. do you know what you did? >> lawrence: we did it anyway. do you know the texas capitol rotunda is bigger than the u.s. rotunda. >> brian: are you going to fix it. >> lawrence: i'm not going to fix it. i love it. the gavel in the texas house is bigger than the speaker's gavel in the u.s. house. everything must be big and

better. >> brian: like you want to be better than "fox & friends first." i want it bigger. >> lawrence: we don't do internal battles like that. >> emily: going to be in the nutcracker slowly grow bigger. anyway. >> brian: i used to work the bar outside of the tillis center and inside was the nut cracker. they never let me. in. >> lawrence: why not? >> they said you are here to work not watch the nut cracker so please do not tell me how it ends. >> lawrence: we got rain -- so it's thanksgiving eve and busy travel day. rain, snow and a shortage of air traffic controllers expected to slow down. the 80 million americans heading to the airports and hitting the roads. >> brian: winter storm advisories and warnings are in places across 11 states, including utah, where snow is coming down fast. you are seeing it. snowy conditions in northern california, colorado, making for slow go for drivers. put the chains on. >> emily: now let's check in

with senior meteorologist janice dean for our fox weather forecast. >> janice: hello, good morning, everyone, look at the crowd we have right here. i love it. i have got some friends here. what's your name? >> layla. >> and. >> mcclain. >> where are you from. >> georgia. >> are you going to see the parade tomorrow. >> yes, ma'am. >> what would you say the weather is in new york city. >> freezing cold. >> janice: excellent. what's your name? >> harper. >> janice: is it 13th birthday celebration. >> it is. >> janice: you from alabama. >> i am. >> janice: are you going to the parade tomorrow? >> i a. >> janice: do you care that it rains on the parade? >> no. >> janice: i love it. take a look at the forecast because i know a lot of people are ful thatting today. 43 right now. i wish the parade was today because it's kind of nice. buff we do have a couple of storm systems. one across the rockies. one over the ohio river valley and there is your forecast today. across the west especially along the east coast. the rest of the country looks

good strong pretty wet forecast for the parade. we don't care. rain on the parade is not going to effect our good spirit and joy. here is the future radar, it's not looking great. you are going to address accordingly. say hi to anybody at home? >> yeah, hi grandma, hi papa. >> how about you? >> hi grandma and hi papa. >> janice: i love it. thank you for coming to "fox & friends." let's go in to say hi to emily and brian and l.j. we have a great crowd today. >> brian: despite the weather, the city is packed. cannot walk -- it's all good. >> janice: people rex sighted. are you guys excited? >> [cheers] >> janice: happy thanksgiving. >> janice: good job. >> brian: balloons will fly under 23 mile-per-hour winds under that can you get the balloons. kids live for the balloons. the balloons used to go very high. start taking out light poles, we said we will bring them down. brought them down.

so hopefully the weather cooperates. >> lawrence: going to be right behind us right here the parade route. >> brian: talk about the democrats what their after action report reads. kamala harris has been off the stage. she was in hawaii, i think. hmaybeshe saw the obamas while s there. she came back. and normally people are energized when they come back from hawaii. this is what she had to say to her supporters yesterday though. >> the outcome of this election, obviously, is not what we wanted. it is not what we worked so hard for. but i am proud of the race we ran. that you knocked on doors. you called friends. you called in favors. you said hey, you know, i showed up at your softball game. now i need you to show up at the campaign office. [laughter] because of your efforts, get this, we raised an historic $1.4 billion and i know this is an uncertain time.

i'm clear-eyed about that. i know you are clear-eyed about it. and it feels heavy. and i just have to remind you don't you ever let anybody take your power from you. >> lawrence: what was that? >> emily: except for the american voters that took your power away from you you are not going anywhere after your term ends as vice president. the post more tis is not happening. they watch game footage and say what do we do wrong? honest analysis. that's had not here with getting. we have instead a current vice president who is making excuses for why she failed the american people as their candidate. i'm not complaining because clearly the better choice won. but we are not getting someone that has an honest reckoning and ability to self-audit. that's not what i in the a haven't, let alone a potential commander-in-chief. members of her campaign are advisers, blaming the press who

are throwing her wiffle ball softballs. unchallenged unfettered platforms to say whatever she could come up which was nonexistent. this was her excuse, blaming them? >> brian: emily a situation where she had to run a campaign 107 days. i didn't know how to separate myself from joe biden. she didn't know how to separate herself from who she was when she ran. so was she the liberal that was in california with the track record, was she the vice president that didn't do anything, including her first assignment as border czar and top inner of the day. was she a joe biden manna be. was this going to be the second term of joe biden? fundamentally, we have still to this day have no idea what she stands for, the people that knew early way to the left. is people could change. she never explained why we should believe that she now believes all these different things for fracking, extreme.

>> emily: transitioning from the. >> brian: do transgenders belong in women's sports? she wouldn't answer it except for saying no one is really talking about that? you are wrong. it's emblematic of a bigger story. stephanie cutter who is a veteran from the obama days, weighed in on pod save america yesterday on the big question. one of the most common questions is why did you turn down joe rogan? >> we wanted to do it. it, you know, i hate to repeat this over and over, but it was a very short race with a limited number of days. and for a candidate to leave the battleground go to houston, which is a day battle ground. getting that timing right, is really important. so, we had discussions with joe rogan's team. they were great.

they wanted us to come on. we wanted to come on, we tried to get a date to make it work and ultimately we just weren't able to find a date. >> brian: she did go to texas at the end. we couldn't figure out why. but she went there. she said one of her conditions was one hour and don't bring up marijuana. i'm not going to travel to you and do a one hour podcast. i don't travel to anybody to do that. that's why he went to austin, texas. so, bigger story is she wouldn't have excelled at that because she wasn't exposing herself as a human being, she had these memorized talking points. >> lawrence: brian, it's not just. this the fact that they continue to talk about the time limit that they h first of all, it's all of you guy's fault. you are the one who lied to the american people about joe biden. be transparent with the american public. then you all would have had more time. secondly, if you all had more time, then it would have been an

open primary. she would not be the nominee. can you not have it both ways here. third thing is, you know, i try to give them a lot of credit because i remember these folks from when i was a democrat, maybe obama was just a good politician because the advice that they are giving is not passing the smell test. they sound like academics. they keep talking about the data this, the data that they are not talking about people and the issues that matter to them. they don't care about any of that they keep talking about what they poll test. i listened to this whole podcast, it was nauseating. we poll tested this. we were working on getting the american people to know her. you all kept her from the american people. then when you all did do interviews, they were softball interviews, and she couldn't even tell us what she would do differently than joe biden. just say that. >> brian: first time i ever heard somebody blame the questions. >> lawrence: layups. questions were too easy.

>> brian: how many people got damaged. joe biden has 34% approval rating. nobody looks back four years and thinks it's positive and democratic party does not have a base. >> lawrence: gone. >> brian: base taken away and republicans going into the cities trying to explain to them they have been let down and there is a better way. >> emily: democratic bench is as shallow as kamala is. biggest disappointment i saw as an american citizen. the fact my current vice president couldn't field a question. empty vessel nation. the fact there was no articulation policy or explanation of i hear and feel you, america. and this person wants me to believe in her because she held the title of senator and attorney general and district attorney while having no actual experience, tangible experience to speak of. i mean, it's pageant status questions. how as i remember is it to say great question. i agree with all of the president's decisions. here's how i would have changed the outcomes and my prayers remain with the service members

families. >> lawrence: very simple. >> emily: so simple to be empathetic, articulate intelligent human. for someone who didn't pass the bar the first time. maintained she grew up in the bay area even though it was canada. and it is too difficult to be honest. >> brian: other thing is i knew who the vice president was. i knew who al gore was. >> lawrence: of course. >> brian: i knew who h.w. bush was. if mike pence decided to run i knew he was more right of the president. why all of a sudden did she quickly have to introduce herself? she had the job for four years. >> lawrence: she needed to redefine herself. that he was the problem. et the rebrant. >> brian: president biden coverage of drugs like ozempic and wachovia for people on medicare and medicaid. >> emily: this could face opposition from president-elect trump's incoming administration. >> lawrence: peter doocy has the story this morning. good morning, peter. >> peter: we found something that the yacht going president and the incoming president both

agree is good, losing weight. we are seeing different ideas about best practice. we have some graphics here. president biden wants to make ozempic and similar weight loss drugs easier and dheerp get. over a decade proposing to put $25 billion towards this for medicare recipients. 11 besides for medicaid recipients. trumps playing a chunks of that plan may go nowhere if trump gets public health picks through. national institutes of health jay bhattacharya restoring public trust in public health. if r.f.k. jr. gets confirmed by the senate. the heart of his make america healthy agenda is diet and exercise which are both important to people taking weight loss drugs. the pharmaceuticals have not been part of the pitch. >> we're talking about utilizing this drug as a first line of defense for human beings as young as 6 years old. we're talking about a vast swath

of the population. up to 28 million people that they would like to prescribe these drugs to, that are simply not candidates. >> peter: losing weight any way you do it probably a tough sell the day before thanksgiving. maybe easier next week. back to you. >> brian: thanks so much, peter. really impactful conversation. because, if you are going to put this on medicare and medicaid. one arguments is they are not going to be able to afford it. >> lawrence: no. >> brian: plastic surgery is not covered on a lot of plans because it's elective. and you choose to do this. but then they can come back and say well, if you want to be healthy, this will make you healthier and bring your healthcare costs down. bernie sanders came out and said if you put this in to medicare and medicaid you will raise everybody's rates because they have to buy it. and to buy it it's going to cause the expenditures to go up which means people's terms have to go up. the thing is if you are going to do this, you have to give it to

us at a discount. >> lawrence: problem also is, brian, these drugs that they are talking about, for them to work, you have to stay on it. it's not one of those things that you buy one time and continue to pay for this every month and i just don't know how they are going to balance the checkbook. also, i think r.f.k.'s solution is the food. right? their solution is to continue to pump people up with the pharmaceutical companies. he is saying we have to change the way that we're packaging the food. the way that we are producing the food out there. let's got root of the problem. let's not try to put a band-aid on it with these drugs. >> brian: how do you feel? >> emily: i feel that it's massively expensive and the bloat of the regulatory nature and the pharmaceutical industry that has taken advantage of people who actually need drugs. they are treating the diagnosis not the underlying issues. so absolutely it would create an economic havoc and nightmare when we should be focusing on the health 10 steps prior.

>> brian: here's the other thing last thing we will bring up. we don't know long-term the damage it does take away your muscle. number two people looking now just because rich people can afford it then they can get the shot. it's hard enough for me, i'm overweight. why can't i have the same access to this medicine, this miracle drug to get weight off me, too. why should just the wealthy have it? that's the counter argument to it. >> lawrence: why will be following it. definitely a shakeup with this administration. competing voices going to be at the table. >> brian: it's going to be expensive. we have stock in wegovy or ozempic, time to jump in. >> lawrence: carley has some headlines for us. >> carley: i certainly do. big story here. fox news alert. a cease-fire deal between hezbollah and israel going into effect overnight after nearly 14 months of fighting. the tentative truce allows both sides to pull back troops over 60 days u and it also allows israeli forces to defend

themselves if there is a breach in the deal. civilians are now able to head back to southern lebanon. jim hanson, chief editor of the middle east forum reacting earlier. >> it works best for iran and hezbollah and hamas may be the odd man out here because israel is going to go back hard at them to try and finish that war. i mean, cease-fires are good and this was a result of the biden administration putting a soft embargo on some of the munitions and supplies israel needed. they couldn't fight a two-front war. >> carley: hamas is reportedly ready for their own truce with israel in war torn gaza with president biden looking to start working on that deal today. newly released body cam footage from chicago police show the moment a cook county official is questioned for dui after a crash and the democrat flaunt her government position before being cuffed.

>> ma'am, dew points me to handcuff you and arrest you. >> no. >> at this point you are refusing to provide me any -- >> -- i am. >> you are? you realize that, right? >> yes. i'm annual elected official. >> you what? >> i don't want any of this. >> well, ma'am, you were involved in an accident. you hit several cars. >> two. >> i actually do. elected official of what? >> cook county. >> samantha steel was eventually arrested and charged. police say she refused sobriety tests and had an open bottle of wine in her car. the ncaa western conference volleyball tournament begins today. the federal judge ruling that a transgender player on the san jose state university women's team can continue playing. this despite strong opposition from other teams to say it's just not fair. >> the fight is not over. we won't be silenced and this is just the beginning. women do not belong in women's sports or in our locker rooms. really disheartening to see. this going to happen.

but joining this lawsuit we know it wasn't going to be a straight path fiewghts justice never is. >> carley: this coming after several state forfeited earlier games against san jose state. we will see how that pays out. >> carley: working 9 to 5 worked for dolly parton just named billboard's artist of all time. the award winner reacting to the news for the special message for her tans. >> just know this from the bottom of my heart. i will always love you and i will always be. >> carley: who is better than her? parton 25 number one hits on billboard's number one songs and 49 top ten country albums during decades long career and she is a friend of the show too. she has been on "fox & friends." she is the best. >> brian: if she ever wants to fill in co-host. >> carley: that would be epic outside of emily compagno.

emily parton would be right in there. >> lawrence: what is wrong with you. the timing and i know you didn't mean it that way. this is just a true brian fashion. >> brian: talking about something that is important to her. >> emily: we're going to talk about my book for a second under his wings. i just wanted to share a story about it so in 2009, while i was a cheerleader for the then oakland raiders, we had the honor of visiting the troops that were deployed in iraq and kuwait. and while we were there. we got stranded in sad der city. if you know anything sadr city. they were shocked. how could this on the itinerary. particularly dangerous and urban joint security station there our black hawk was diverted for a medicine did i vac. we were suspended. i will never forget commanders

in charge. he said i have three daughters at home. i'm not going to sleep until all you girls are safely out of there. we spent all night hanging out with the guys outside. we never went to sleep in the wee hours of the morning we were eventually rescued out of there by a black hawk. and three days later, colonel karcher iud and lost his legs. on the way back in the medicine did i vac the man rolled over another ied. lost his life. 15 years later we reunited. and he credits prayers with saving his life. he died multiple times each time being by the grace of god. just one of the stories i'm honored to serve faith on the front lines. that is his family seeing him for the first time months after that ied after he lost his leg there on a tarmac.

his wife fought for the kids to be able to come on the plane to be able to see their dad. a moment he calls one of the bravest he has ever experienced because his daughter there thought he was surely going to die. she went to see her father anyway. lion hearted, humbled beautiful soldier in the army of christ and for the united states. it was my privilege to bear witness to his story. >> lawrence: one of the many incredible stories in new book under his wings and get it on fox news books. .com. or you can use that qr code that we put on the screen. >> you have a tour? do you go around for a tour eventually signing books and so i will be putting all of those dates out publicly and at what looks like and for starters after the patriot awards i will be signing books there. that will be exciting. >> lawrence: preorder it. >> brian: coming up next thursday patriot awards. >> emily: thank you for the time to talk about it. thank you. >> brian: meanwhile watch her on

outnumbered later. mexico threatening all-out trade war after trump's tariff plan as the president-elect taps another tough on trade leader. >> lawrence: mr. wonderful kevin o'leary on what it means for your wallet. what it means for thanksgiving, celebrating out on fox square just ahead. look at that smoker, look at that turkey. stay with us, guys.

>> lawrence: mexico calling on trump to propose a 25% tariff on their goods unacceptable and threatened to impose their own on the u.s. in return. [speaking spanish] >> it is not acceptable and cause the u.s. job losses. 70% of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in mexico come from your country. the weapons are not produced by us. these synthetic drugs are not consumed by us. >> lawrence: okay. but here in the u.s., trump appearing to double down by tapping jamison greer for u.s. trade representative key player in trade negotiations in trump's first term shark tank investor kevin eleary, mr. wonderful

himself. joins us now. tell me this, kevin. i'm not concerned about canada or mexico, they are going to fold. they need the money. they don't want to get in a war with us you it's the threat of the tariff, right? >> yeah. china has not played by the rules since they came into wto in 1999. most administrations have just let it roll. most of us who do business there set the record straight. they cheat they steal. can't use their courts. xi is getting away with it because he thinks no one will stand up to it. my strategy here and what i would advocate for forces him to the table in washington reciprocal deal which we desperately need. it's not 25%. it's 400 percent. then to bankrupt his economy. the only reason xi gets to be the supreme leader is people are

employed. if you threaten the core of his economy. by shutting out access to the world's largest economy. >> lawrence: people rise up. >> people rise up. they throw him out. when he senses that coming. he will fly to washington to cut a deal. it's going to take very tough negotiations but i'm happy to see this is going on mexico and canada a different deal. feisy, making her moves, that makes sense. canada is a different situation trudeau is on his way out. that's happening now. the new prime minister most likely is pierre polavier. >> lawrence: we love him. >> he is going to be negotiating this deal. i would advise trump's team to bring him down to mar-a-lago and meet him now. he has already told the canadian people what he is going to do. get rid of carbon taxes. lift the ban on pipelines. that's in sync with trump's mandate. i think there is going to be a

great relationship between the canada and u.s. over the next decade. >> lawrence: you see the country right now. people are so excited right now. got people coming out of the woodwork. you didn't know they were trump supporters. now seeing maga hats in new york city. there is this overall optimism that we are back. we are going to fight. there is deals being done on the world stage. are you feeling that in the financial community as well? >> not only in large companies and ceos hedge their bets and playing both sides. but 62% of this economy, small businesses in america 5 to 500 family businesses, they are loving what they see. less regulation, stabilized taxes. the ability to now that this uncertainty is over with. make their decisions. i just flew in from west virginia. we just cracked ground on $35 million new plant we were hedging on waiting to see what would happen. now that we know the regulatory environment is going to be stripped away federally. we are putting money in the ground. we are going to create a hundred jobs there. this is what i love. this is what i love about stability. pro-business is always better

because it lets you pursue what matters in america. the number one export we have is the american dream. we got it support the american dream. that's the whole idea. and the american dream is when businesses can create jobs and families flourish. >> lawrence: such a good point. kevin, thank you for giving us some time. >> take care. >> lawrence: a fox news alert. after a year of fighting. israel and hezbollah have agreed to a cease-fire deal. the nato secretary general has some thoughts on that. going to join us next on "fox & friends." ♪ lowe's knows when it comes to the holidays... everything has to be seamless. save on lg's first ever zero-clearance refrigerator that has near flush installation for the ultimate built-in look. don't miss our best deals of the season during black friday, in-store and online. emergen-c crystals pop and fizz when you throw them back. and who doesn't love a good throwback? ♪ now with vitamin d

unlocked. he was trying to save himself. the man jumping onto the platform alongside the coaster before walking himself down the structure to safety. can you imagine that? the rider says the park manager offered him a refund and took a report while local reports say the ride has appeared to be closed since that terrifying incident. those are your headlines, brian, over to you. >> brian: thank you very much. that's everybody's nightmare by the way. a fox news alert. after more than a year of fighting. israel and hezbollah agreed to a 60-day receiver. the is not intended to be p and will be scaled back over the course of 60 days. with the u.s. and france ensuring that both sides follow the terms. >> but israel maintains the right to defend themselves against any violations. nato general secretary mark joins us right now. mr. secretary, thanks for joining us. you at first blush, your take on the 60 day pause? >> well, obviously, brian, i welcome it. but, let's not be naive,

hezbollah is still there around -- still hezbollah, there. but has to be implemented and let's see what happens. whether they will keep to the deal. the hezbollah people. >> russians have weaponize to the houthis. the russians were found to have a ton of will interconnected to the north koreans. getting more and more involved in ukraine. backing up to russians, the russians more and more involved in the region. we are now discussing so this means that we are really facing a global conflict. and this is posing a threat not only to us and europe. but also to the americans and, of course, japan and south korea. russia is paying for it. for example, missile technology and missiles can then reach the american main lands and a real

risk we have to be very much aware of this. >> brian: absolutely. more lebanon has control the better it is for the people in the region. let's go over to ukraine. we know the russians are on a big push. they are seizing more ukrainian territory of late than they have over the last six months. what are they doing? are they trying to get in position in your view to get to talks with the maximum leverage or do they have something else, just a total takeover of ukraine? >> that could still be the case. and they get more and more backing. as i said, iran is involved now. china is involved. most worried, of course, about the north koreans in and the fact that russia is paying for this and the technology russia is now paying in return tore north korea support is a dire threat to all of us. so what we have to do is to make sure that whenever a deal is reached that, we have a good deal and that deal starts from a position of strength.

peace through strength, to quote a famous american politician whom i spoke to last friday. i think that's crucial that we have a good deal because the whole dealing will be watching what type of deal will be structure president-elect trump last night hesitate image so you he says hello and get along great. when will europe equalize payments u.s. as you are prepared for all out war with russia because that's where this is heading. and who is going to get putin to the negotiating table. first off on the first thing. who is going to get putin to the negotiating table. do you plan on doing that? >> well, clearly, first of all, we have to make sure that ukraine is in a position of more strength than they are at the moment. so that a deal can be struck which is to the russians and, therefore, to china and north korea and iran because all watching. take xi jinping, he will be very

much interested who comes out on top of this. and if it's the russians, long term. so we have to make sure that ukraine is in the position where they can start these talks. and obviously then we have to take it step-by-step. make sure that putin comes on board and to your other point, president trump is right. he was right that we had to spend more on defense on the part of nato. we have done so in the meantime. we still have to do more. but, at the same time, we also have to make sure that collectively, we keep ukraine in the fight and prevent the russians from getting what they want. >> brian: do you plan on getting vladimir putin to the table? are you going to make that offer? or do you want president trump to do it? is that on the table? >> i would argue that, first of all, we have to make sure that ukraine is in a position of strength and that we have to do collectively. and to make sure that whenever it comes to talks, that ukrainians can discuss the

future of their country from this position of strength so it has to be ukraine to the table but they will only do that when they feel that they can get something out of it. and at this moment, they are really on the back foot. obviously, president trump is right. that in the meantime, not only was alliance europeans have to do more. push for that in the past successfully. and we still have to do more in the future. anhe fight in ukraine and support for ukraine. i also think on this issue. it is europeans who have to step up but, obviously, still needs to help the u.s. and formidable formiddefense industrial base. i think-guess -- no i'm pretty certain even when we do all of this, that collectively, president trump, myself, others we will be able to get putin to the table. he will sense that ultimately, it is in his interest not to continue to fight. but he has to feel this. he has to sense that.

>> brian: it's hard to believe that he is losing a thousand people a day and feels like he is winning. number two is now they have got the houthi rebels fighting there they got the north koreans fighting there. at what point does nato say i can't let ukraine fight alone. does nato -- is nato considering putting troops in if these other countries keep coming in to help russia? >> i think it will not be wise to do it. you do not want to get into a dire confrontation with allies being a party to the conflict. i don't think that is wise. what you need to do is to make sure that ukrainians can take the fight forward. can make sure that they get in a position of strength, whenever it gets to talks and that means that we have to supply them with the weapons they need to do that, to get in a position of strength, whenever the talks start. but then clearly, we have to make sure that the deal being struck is a good deal. >> brian: right. >> that we do not give in to iran, china, north korea, and russia. this is really crucial for the

future of all of us to make sure that that doesn't happen. >> brian: ukraine is now making their own weapons with aid from nato, which just shows their ability to adjust. they are fighting valiantly. this is something nato needs to be successful here. mr. secretary, thanks so much, it's interesting time to take that job over. you certainly have your hands full. i appreciate you joining us today. >> absolutely looking forward to work with you and the in the president. lots to do. >> brian: absolutely. thanks so much. more "fox & friends" in just a moment. ♪ is r free today. lowe's knows how to help you holiday.
