>> steve: all right, folks, it's 6:00 in new york city. we are outside around the tree. 28 degrees on this tuesday december 3rd, 2024. welcome to "fox & friends." first up, pardon me. well, the hunter biden special counsel pushing back on the president's claim that the case was political while some say donald trump should get the same courtesy. >> why don't you go ahead and pardon donald trump for all his charges? >> ainsley: and, closing arguments set to wrap up today in the daniel penny trial as the defense asks the jury who would you want on the train with you? >> brian: and tariff tactics. trump tells trudeau if canada can't survive without ripping off the u.s., then why don't you become the 51st state. [laughter] >> lawrence: that was so cold. "fox & friends" starts right now and remember, mornings are better with friends.

>> steve: all right. our lead story this morning, the department of justice special counsel david weiss says that the motion to dismiss hunter biden's indictment should be denied by the judges in the case. >> brian: madeleine rivera is in washington. maddy? >> hi, guys, good morning. special counsel david weiss and hunter biden's legal team is how hunter's legal cases go away. arguing that the president's full and unconditional pardon warrants the dismissal dismissal of the indictments. weiss is taking issue with that saying that does not mean the grand jury's decision to charge him based on finding of probable cause should be wiped away as if it never occurred. weiss goes on to say there was not and never has been any evidence of vindictive and selective prosecution. that statement there is particularly striking, given that it contradicts the president's assertion that hunter was targeted for being his son. in response, hunter's laura, abbe lowell says the special counsel acknowledges that the majority of courts, when faced

with such a decision, have chosen to dismiss an indictment, that special counsel's admission that this is a practice of the majority of courts, certainly provides legal support to mr. biden's claim that this dismissal is warranted. local ads a dismissal doesn't wipe away the indictment like it never happened. it just reflects that an indictment has been resolved. >> steve: madison, what this is saying he, the special counsel, hey to the two judges the one in california and the one in delaware, don't dismiss them. and apparently it's up to the judges they can decide whether or not they wants to dismiss the charges? >> yeah. look, the core of the special counsel's argument here is that these indictments were returned by a grand jury independent of the court. and they say that's why these claims -- hunter's claims that he was a victim of selective prosecution, all of those are baseless, yes, you will see what the judges have to say about this in the coming days,

perhaps. >> steve: thank you, madeleine, with an explanation. that's crazy. >> ainsley: president biden is traveling he went to africa to an goalla. we were told that kjp wouldn't be having a press briefing. she was on the plane on air force 1. some of the reporters did ask her -- >> steve: a gaggle. >> ainsley: exactly. we don't have video of her but we have sound because she was on the plane. the reason that president biden pardoned his son. >> does the president believe now and agree with president-elect trump that the justice system has been weaponed for political purposes and that it needs root and branch reform? >> no. read the president's statement. seriously, read the president's statement. he says he believes in the department of justice. he does. but he also believes that raw politics infected the process and it led to a miscarriage of justice. he believes his son was unfairly targeted. he said what his political opponents have done to my son,

that's his words, is cruel and enough is enough. >> lawrence: she lies. she just makes stuff up. >> brian: she says politics have gotten involved in the justice system which they lauded as believing in the justice system. you can't believe in the justice system and say politics got involved in the justice system. and it's affected this case. that means it effected david weiss who you left on the job. affected the deal that fell apart because unbiased judge looked at it and said i have never seen like that. what is so amazing she has got to be embarrassed. she was assured over and over again this pardon wasn't coming. michael bennet upset by the decision, personal interest ahead of duty, democrat, gary peters, president biden's decision to pardon his son was wrong. senator peter welch, president biden's pardon of his son is the action of a loving father, understandable but the action of our nation's chief executive is unwise. it goes on and on and on. i have just think about all those people who went to bat for the paragon of justice and

ethics. and saying how great joe biden was for not pardons son and thinking man i look stupid. daily show last night one thing that stood out. i didn't realize how many were taking a bow for joe biden's noble stabbed which we all knew he was going to reverse. of course he was not going to let his son go jail. >> lawrence: the lying here is stunning. former admin they struggle typically after you work in the white house. you get big corporate jobs. how does she get a job after the constant lying over and over again. even in that moment she just makes up what is in the statement. the statement did not say that and then, number two, this is two times where the president has been at odds with his department of justice. the first time was when the special counsel said essentially he cannot stand trial because he is mentally uncapable to stand

trial. right? and his attorney general allowed that to happen. this is the next time when his department of justice said that it was time to bring charges against his son and he is now saying that his department of justice is political. the question is, will we hear from the attorney general on this? where his statement on this. taking on his department. will he defend his men and women? >> we have heard from david weiss, the special counsel, and he says look, it wasn't political. grand jury returned an indictment and that's why we proceeded with this. you know. >> bragged about this in his book. he writes that he did this. >> >> steve: right, right. we all knew that joe biden was going to pardon a full and unconditional pardon for hunter. we knew that we knew that for over a year. but for kjp, kjp looks terrible. here's the thing. she said -- she has been emphatic. she is positive. no pardon, no pardon, no pardon. she has told that lie, maybe she

could rationalize it as joe's lie for years. if she had any standards, she -- as soon as she heard the president was going to pardoning his son she could have quit. she could have gone out on a high note. she is part of his legacy of lies. and it is a terrible stain on the press secretary for the white house, for the united states for her to be a conduit for so many mistruths. >> ainsley: okay. if you work for someone and they keep telling you say, this say this, this is what i'm going to do. i'm not going to pardon. and you go out there in front of the entire world, and you say -- you repeat what he told you. you trust him to, you know, to be honest. so then when he says okay, i'm going to pardon, if i were kjp and i were in the room i would say respectfully, sir, i can't go out there and say well, we're blaming it now on politics and blah blah blah because you

already put me in a position to say no. i would say he changed his mind. you know, he already lost one son. you would have to be honest. >> tell us not to believe what we are reading. other thing is i think you are right. she has been lying for three years when she said that the president is healthy mentally that he has been working 10 hours a day that he outworks us all and we can't keep up with hill. >> lawrence: runs circles around them. >> brian: she is just saying i'm going to lie every day what is actually going on at 1600 pennsylvania avenue in the evil office, and there is nothing -- i'm surprised there is no cobwebs because he has not been running the country. >> steve: ultimately, ainsley, it doesn't sound like kjp tried to talk joe biden out of the pardon. stories circulating that dr. jill biden may be actually was pushing joe -- joe

apparently didn't know whether or not it was the right thing to do. and it sound like she, jill biden who, remember, went to the trial every day. >> she said of course i support the pardon and my son. >> lawrence: someone is trying to salvage the democratic party. >> brian: salvage or savage? >> lawrence: take your pick. >> steve: joe biden savaged it. >> lawrence: says they should just pardon trump. let's watch it. .[laughter] >> steve: we do have a soundbite. stand by. >> what i would have done differently counsel would have been why don't you go ahead and pardon donald trump for all his charges and make it, you know, gone down a lot more balanced, if you will. i'm just saying wipe them out.

>> brian: james comer says next look for his brother. his brother's name is all over this. >> lawrence: i think their superstition they got it all wrong. dr. was no plan to go after the bidens, he is the type of person, just like a ufc fight. once he has beaten you, he is done. the fight is over and he is moving on. he made it very clear that he wasn't going to go after the bidens. so, this fear that they have. they are kind of telling on themselves. retroactively pardon him years later and then to do it right before burisma, i mean. >> brian: in 2014. >> steve: it's not just retroactive it's proactive. >> lawrence: exactly. >> steve: pardoning him for sufficient stuff that he has been convicted of. but he has also got the get out of jail free calder for anything that happened during that time. and we were talking yesterday with one of the legal experts

and it's how long do we wait before he issues a blanket pardon for the entire family? they said the meter is running. because, ultimately, joe biden has that super power and he can do it. the question his own family is p.o.d. the a him. >> democrats have come out against this and said he shouldn't have done it. i like what the democrat from arizona greg stan stolen said. this wasn't a politically motivated prosecution. hunter convicte committed felond convicted by peers. is he in this position not because he actually broke the law. he is in this position because i'm the president and this is my son and i put him in this position and he is singled out because of who i am. >> brian: international business deals he was linked to. he forgot to continue that sentence. he was rushed, angola is coming. he forgot to address africa for

four years. china has taken it over. more on that later. 12 minutes after the hour. another big story is the president-elect. and the things that he has already talked about doing when he takes over. one, if you guys don't seal up your border in the north and seal up your border in the south mexico and canada 25% tariffs. china, if you don't clean up the fentanyl situation. 10% on anything coming to our country. call from trudeau and a visit. he went down and let's just work this out. at which time i think they were blunt to each other. in a stand off he said you have got to fix your border. tens of thousands come in. problem than the south. but there is a huge problem because you are not putting any assets there. the other issue is the drugs that come through governor of new hampshire. then when they started talking you can't put 25% tariffs on us. it will destroy my country he says. >> steve: fox news has spoken to two people who were at that table withdrew dough and the

president. and the president was very direct about what he wants. he said canada is letting in drugs and people from 70 different countries. and then. here's the quote that you will find on foxnews.com. the president-elect told the prime minister if canada cannot fix the border issues and trade deficit. he will levy a 25% tariff on all canadian goods on day one when he returns to office. trudeau, there was a little after there. then trudeau told him he can't levy the tariff because it would kill the canadian economy, completely. trump replied asking so your country can't survive unless it's ripping off the u.s. to the tune of $100 billion? and then trump suggested to trudeau that canada become the 51st state which caused the prime minister and others to laugh nervously. also, reportedly one person at the table said mr. president, that would be a very liberal state if canada became a state. and then trump said something like well, there could be a

liberal state and a conservative state. but nonetheless, he made it very clear. this is what he wants to happen. and you know, as we reported yesterday, stuff is happening. they are adding more resources our northern border. >> lawrence: so this totally happened. >> steve: absolutely. >> lawrence: listening to this exchange the president-elect totally told him this, if you cannot get your affairs in order. if you cannot guarantee do your part, this is part of your border as well. that you can't guarantee the safety of our people, and your people, then we're going to put a tariff. i di don't care if it tanks the economy, do the right thing or this is what i'm going to do. >> ainsley: i love the show of strength. donald trump saying tariff on you, tariff on you, mexico. the mexico president does something about it social media much on social media. not going to at the time let them get to the border. justin trudeau flies down to

mar-a-lago unexpectedly they have dinner and laughing. donald trump says well you want to fix it. fix your border or i'm slapping tariffs. that's going to ruin our economy and kill canada. become the 51st state i will major you the governor. then you have the president telling hamas release those hostages. if not this is what is going to happen on january 20th. >> steve: hell to pay. >> brian: assets immediately on the border. start fixing it. how does that fit into the usmca? are they violating it that's not what i'm clear on. does the usmca need to be revisited. >> steve: that's it. >> brian: fixed nafta. i thought the chinese were getting around it mexico gets a break? i have an idea. we will buy a mexican company and build our cars and stuff in mexico. get that american discounted. there needs to be some criteria put there as we described it last week. the suspicion that there is going to be these gigantic tariffs which would screw up

everybody's economy are a negotiating ploy. ultimately probably a new deal between the big three countries in the northern, western hemisphere. >> brian: just getting word now that i'm supposed to toss to ainsley air hearted for the news. >> ainsley: when you said usmca wait a minute we just finished ymca. usmca. i like to read it and you are asking us questions. what is in the usmca let me recite it verbatim. >> steve: it's fun to go to yucm too many letters. >> ainsley: crazy twist in bizarre story the lapd says that the woman from hawaii who disappeared after landing at the los angeles international airport last month is now considered a voluntary missing person. >> we reviewed video surveillance from u.s. customs and border protection which clearly shows her crossing the united states border on foot into mexico.

she was alone with her luggage and appeared unharmed. >> ainsley: her sighting comes as she was found down in mexico on that video. this comes after her father was found dead in an apparent suicide after he traveled to l.a. to try to find his daughter. her family initially thought that she was kidnapped. officials say she was stopping in l.a. on her way to new york city but there is no record of her ever getting on her connecting flight. lapd says there's no evidence of human trafficking or foul play. a south carolina woman is sentenced to 25 years in prison after admitting to driving drunk in a crash that killed a bride on her wedding night last year. jamie pleaded guilty yesterday in court of felony dui. one count of felony die. two counts of dui. going 65 in 25 mile-per-hour area when she slammed into the couple's golf cart as they were

leaving their wedding reception and the bride was killed. we have amazing footage out of colorado where two children are safe after being rescued from a house fire by two sheriff's deputies. >> come over this way. >> come over here. >> kids! okay, hold on, sweety. hold on. okay. come here. [crying] >> oh my word. she said it's too big. it's too big. i guess the flames were too big. no adults were at home at the time of the fire. both children did make it out of that building without any injuries. the two deputies were also evaluated and were cleared. god bless them. gen z is divided over a trend where some are bringing back christmas decorations from the 90's, including the multi colored string lights from over-the-top ornaments. >> let me ask you, why is

everybody using these tiny little lights nowadays. i remember when people used to use big lights. >> that's a good story, grandpa. >> some on tiktok calling the 90's decor so extra while others say it looks too old school what do you think? >> steve: so the whole point is this article talks about how the new -- the kids these days thee like minimalistic stuff. look around the studio. we are an old school channel. we have all the ornaments and stuff like that. and do you know what? it kind of reminds you of your childhood. >> brian: we used ai to figure out where we should use put the trees. >> steve: we used chris. >> ainsley: i think we use the bass pro shops. steve. >> lawrence: i don't think we should censor christmas trees or lights big or small, whatever. >> brian: go back to the days when we used to light candles on

the tree, those were around the days. >> steve: we just did a story about a house fire. >> steve: worked very well. >> brian: waltons family christmas canal dells on the tree no problem. >> ainsley: color lights or white lights. >> steve: up to the tree. there is a switch on the tree. >> ainsley: you get to switch it. >> steve: our christmas tree. we did a life tree until about five years ago and then, of course, i told the story i brought the tree home a giant frog jumped out, was loose in the house. and then our neighbors brought their tree home and there were termites in it anyway, now we have a christmas tree where can you actually adjust it with your smart phone and you just push the button. it comes with a remote. >> lawrence: that's pretty cool. >> ainsley: what did you have to do, download an app.? >> steve: yeah. everything is on your phone now. >> brian: just like santa wanted

♪ >> ainsley: this is a fox news alert. closing arguments continue this morning in the manslaughter trial against 26-year-olds marine veteran daniel penny. chanley painter a lawyer who worked in private practice for six years and a former deputy prosecutor in arkansas is live outside of the court house. i understand you got inside yesterday. we're anxious to hear what your thoughts were when it came to the jury. >> good morning, that's right, ainsley. attentive and took notes. long day of closing arguments this case will soon be in the hands of that jury of five men, seven women. will they believe that 26-year-old daniel penny was a hero or a villain.

that is the question taking over this manhattan courtroom today as we go to day two of closing arguments. let's take a look back at yesterday. started off with about two hours of closing arguments and painting very different picture from what we heard from prosecutors. telling the jury that on that day, may 1st, 2023, the eyewitness accounts describing 23-year-old jordan neely someone suffering from schizophrenia, high on drugs, threatening to kill people on that train when daniel penny stepped in saying this, quote. ment daniel acted when others didn't. he put his life on the line. he did that for perfect strangers. who would you want on the train next to you? the guy on the train with the ear buds, minding his own business, who you know will be there for you if something happens or you just hope someone like neely never enters, especially when you are all alone. prosecutors during its initial part of the close, arguments

argued that the marine knew he was holding chokehold for far too long and did so after imminent harm existed who was simply trying to breathe on the floor of that subway not resisting or fighting back. this is what the prosecutor said, quote: we are here today because the defendant used way too much force for way too long to way too reckless of a manner. we as a society cannot tolerate the unjustifiable death of a fellow citizen. this prosecutor, she will finish up her closing summations this morning before the judge spends about an hour instructing the jury of the law applying the facts heard the last 24 days. if they decide to convict the defendant here he will spend up to -- could spend up to 15 years behind bars. brian, i will send it over to you. >> brian: thank you so much, chanley. everyone will be watching. brand new op-ed jonathan turley says joe biden continue ited legacy of liar in chief as son hunter years about knowledge and

intentions in the influence peddling scandal sur rounding his family. david weiss objecting to the motion to dismiss hunter's case that gw law professor jonathan turley heard us talking about him and scrambled to the zoom and joins us now. first off on david weiss saying i don't think we should go ahead and follow through on the pardon we should follow through on the case, your thought? >> i think it's just positively nuts. of course he should dismiss the case. i think it's an effort to try to scrub away the stain of this case for weiss. he was at the center of that sweetheart deal. he wanted to give the bidens precisely what the president just gave in this pardon, a sweeping immunity for not just crimes he was accused of but other unnamed crimes. he is not going to scrub that away. and saying that i would like to stay in this fight a little bit longer is unlikely to impress these judges, you know, this is not hear to redeem yourself. the question is is there a case to be tried. and the answer is no.

there's not. >> you also believe that hunter biden might not be out of trouble yet. why? >> well, the president clearly is hoping that he has given him this sweeping protection. and that includes unnamed crimes. quite literally, you know, hunter biden could have, you know, six heads in a duffle bag in his basement and this would cover it as long as he committed those murders during this 10-year period it. would not protect him by the way from state charges. but, it's a sweeping pardon that we haven't seen legal really the likes of since nixon. it's pretty unprecedented in that respect. the problem is that hunter could be called before congress. congress has committees that are still looking into the influence peddling scandal involving millions and millions of dollars. he could be called to testify. last time he did that the house accused him of being misleading. even false in his testimony. if he commits perjury again,

it's a new crime. and this pardon will not have an impact. and he could face additional charges. >> brian: you also write he might not have to pay all his taxes back number two so many questions. what did you do the money in china and what did you do with the money from the moscow mayor and romanian billionaire. what about carlos slim? is he ever have to pay taxes on this or answer the question what did you do to earn that? >> i think he should be called to congress. and called to give a full account. we have a lot of questions. you know, the bidens have been notorious for nepotism and influence peddling. i have been writing about them from before the biden was vice president. they are the goats of this favorite form of corruption. in d.c. which is influence peddling. and this pardon really sealed that status. i mean, we have never seen anything like them. they have done an amazing job in

avoiding any responsibility, accountability or even answers. congress can demand those answers. >> brian: and he could always take the fifth, i guess. is there any doubt in your mind that jim biden and the whole family gets a pardon that the brother is next? >> well, i mean, this seems to be a free fall for the biden administration in terms of ethics. this is the final corruption, in my view of the biden administration. they have really untethered themselves from any principle. so nothing would surprise me at this point. >> brian: all right. i am surprised that you are on an island and agreed to do a hit this morning. i would be sunning myself or at the bar. you. >> thank you, brian. >> brian: appreciate the decision to join us. our next guest says we wouldn't need to take these measures if biden and harris controlled the border in the first place. we'll discuss it. ♪

steve president-elect donald trump is demands the immediate release of all october 7th hostages who are still alive and being held in gaza. bill melugin weighs in right now from west palm beach on this tuesday morning. hey, bill. >> bill: hey, steve, good morning to you. yeah, that's right. look, president-elect trump is issuing a very, very direct threat to hamas. essentially telling them these hostages better be released by the time i take office are or else. very similar to what we saw reagan do with iran before he took office. here is a little of what trump posted on truth social yesterday. he says in part, quote: please let this truth serve to represent if the hostages are not released prior to january 20th, 2025, the date that i proudly assume office as president of the united states, there will be all hell to pay in the middle east. and for those who charges who perpetrated these atrocities against humanity. those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and soree history of

the united states. release the hostages now senator tom cotton says there are parallels to president reagan and carter here. >> this is what happened when ronald reagan became president in 1981 after carter failed to get hostages. now you have an equally failed president joe biden leave office with hostages still being held unless these terrorists take president trump at their word, i suggest they probably should. >> bill: last nights trump announced he is going to be making very first foreign trip as president-elect. is he going to travel to paris on saturday where he is going to attend the reopening of the iconic notre dame cathedral which we all remember parts of it were destroyed in a fire five years ago. it has now been restored. aides to trump confirm that they have been in touch with french president emmanuel macron about this trip. trump expects this trip to be a

very special day. in fact out here live trump's pick for dhs secretary kristi noem is going to be on capitol hill today where she is expected to meet with republican lawmakers. so too will his pick for attorney general poland and dod secretary pete hegseth. they have been meeting with republican senators already. they are expected to both continue their meetings today on capitol hill as well as this transition process continues grinding along. lawrence? >> lawrence: great job, bill. critics are pushing back against president-elect trump's illegal migrant crack down despite the 670,000 criminal migrants roaming the country. the presence of migrant gangs in over a dozen states and the more than half a million migrant children entering the u.s. alone under the biden-harris administration. former el paso u.s. marshal and retired el paso police department deputy chief robert del monte. sir, thank you so much for joining the program. so. >> good morning. >> lawrence: good morning. it looks like all the criticism

is going against the president-elect. he was elected with a mandate over 60% of the country is more mass deportations don't you think the focus of these progressive cities are heading down the wrong direction? >> oh, absolutely. you know, even -- even with the election results, overwhelmingly, the united states not agree with the direction our country has been going. especially dealing with border security with the border. and they are still in denial and all it's going to do is create more problems and encourage more of these migrants to come across the border. they just need to get with the program with a new administration, the gloves come off. and i speak to border patrol agents all the time. they do a tremendous job on the border and they are excited about the future. >> lawrence: you know, robert, we talk about the criminal elements that are here in the country. you being with the u.s. marshal

service, which coordinates the largest fugitive task force in the country right now, you know what it takes to get rid of these criminal migrants. it's going to take a lot of agents and it's going to be a while before we can goat all of them, right? >> oh, yeah. absolutely. that's why i expect president trump to prioritize the deportations. in other words, he is going to go after the worst of the worst. and that's what the united states marshall service has always done. go after the worst of the worst. and that would start with tren de aragua gang from venezuela and other dangerous criminals that are here. so many dangerous criminals here in the united states. so, that is going to take some time. and you are right. it's going to take a multi-agency effort to do this, federal, state, and local officers these dangerous, dangerous migrants. and deport them. it's going to take some time but it's going to be worth it to make our country safer.

>> lawrence: that's exactly right. so all the people out there talking ab abou about aabuela bg detort ported. massive deportation where people are going to be ripped. it doesn't work that way. robert, thank you so much for giving us insight this morning. >> thank you for having me. >> lawrence: travel tuesday. best deals for your next adventure coming up. ♪ hello ♪ it doesn't really mean that i'm in to you ♪ hello ♪ in. ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ♪ far-xi-ga ♪ ask your doctor about farxiga.
