>> brian: so glad you are up. i hope you are awake. 6:00 a.m. in the east coast. december 4th. in for ainsley. president trump reportedly debating new nominee for defense secretary as current pick meets with senators on capitol hill. >> steve: also, jury complications continue today, this morning in daniel penny's manslaughter case here in lower manhattan. the congressman-elect from oregon who stopped a terrorist attach in paris. remember that on the train? joins us warning this could be you if you decide to help others. >> emily: and a totally tone deaf post by house democrats making fun of sky high inflation. >> lawrence: incredible. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: and we start with a fox news alert. today on capitol hill some of president-elect trump's cabinet

nominees making the rounds as trump is reportedly considering replacing at least one of his key picks. easy for me to say. >> lawrence: bill melugin is live from west palm beach, florida. hey, bill. >> bill: hey, lawrence, good morning to you. two of donald trump's picks for his future administration has now withdrawn names from consideration and as you were talking about the "wall street journal" is now reporting that trump is considering replacing his pick for defense secretary, pete hegseth with florida governor ron desantis. here is part of what the journal writes, quote: trump allies increasingly think hegseth may not survive further scrutiny, according to people close to the president-elect's team which considers the next 48 hours to be crucial to his fate. now, trump's pick for dea administrator hillsborough county announced last night thanks but no thanks and doesn't want the position. he has been taking heat for conservatives for arresting a

pastor for holding church services during covid lockdowns back in 2020. sheriff chron missster posted te is more work to be done for the citizens of hillsborough county and a lot of initiatives i'm committed to fulfilling. back out here live, chronister is now the second nominee to withdraw his name from the process behind matt gaetz. evidence was trump's initial pick for attorney general. regarding that report from the "wall street journal" about trump possibly considering ron desantis for defense secretary, we don't know if desantis would want that position or if he would be interested in leaving his post as the governor of florida. i have reached out to desantis' orbit and i'm waiting to hear back to temperature on that news, guys. send it back to you. >> brian: thanks. >> steve: thank you, bill. >> brian: pete hegseth thing

people getting way ahead of it. jumping all over him like they were jumping all over earlier picks. evidently on one-on-one meetings he has been impressive doesn't surprise anyone who knows him here. he knows his stuff. he has got the vision. he fought in the wars. recruiting is already picking up since he has actually been someone coming forward because they know they are going to change the culture and make it more soldier-friendly. other thing he has got if you look at what he has done in the background. today is going to be huge senator roger wicker new pentagon. procurement. spreading out military base. growing it so we can service our allies. people buy weapons systems, being able to get them. spending wisely while increasing spending. evidence has got the vision. sits down with roger wicker. sit down and impress and ability to run a department that big and idea who to put underneath him that will go a long way. >> lawrence: there is an effort to stop the nomination before

the hearings. s they know that's where is he going to shine the most. they know he knows his stuff. he is a harvard guy. he is a princeton guy. he has been talking about this stuff for years. wrote a whole book about transforming the military the way that we are doing things and the wokeness. by the way, there are reports coming out here today we have known it for years. we know it's just not true. and the fact that they are going out there with unnamed sources, when we sit on the couch with him almost every day, i think it's just. >> brian: over 10 years. >> lawrence: to me that is the stunning part. especially when you don't reach out to his co-host of the show for comment. to say hey, what do you guys think about that. no one has been contacted about that. i think that screams that it's a witch-hunt. we can't allow them to catholic church pete. i feel like that's what they are trying to do right now. >> steve: in the "wall street journal" article it sounds like donald trump down at mar-a-lago is actually floating, you know, is he casually suggested okay,

if pete doesn't work out, what about ron desantis? another name apparently that is apparently weighed on the list plan b is elbridge colby, discussed by some trump allies. also some have suggested joni ernst. according to the "wall street journal," and they have got the exclusive on this. apparently a number of the republican senators are warning pete that you are going to face a grilling during public confirmation hearings. the allegations sexual assault, adultery, excessive alcohol use and financial mismanagement. according to the "wall street journal," there are apparently six republican senators who are not completely on board with him. so, that would be a deal breaker and maybe that's why they are looking at plan b. >> emily: the notion that a grilling is somehow disqualifying. the notion that heat on capitol hill. >> lawrence: that's the process. >> emily: exactly the road block to a nomination process to me is

almost blasphemous. entire thing that the american people voted into office, no, no, no. we will not succumb to the left's playbook and kavanaugh becoming a verb the left likes to we would the media and a very public witch huntington to thwart the possibility for actual success. and that's the whole points. i agree with you that a commander-in-chief and true leader should always have backup plans and always ascertain and develop what structure looks like. what different strategy with different people look like. but the notion that pete hegseth will back down now or will in any way capitulate to the witch-hunt being wielded by the left by tired overused playbook to me is absolutely laughable. i wish him nothing but success. to your point, to conform and to sort of survive, what exactly that process is for. let the senators play out. let them conduct their analysis rightly so in front of the public. that's what it is there for. >> brian: a lot of the senators are going to be going yeah, i

got divorced too. my ex-wife hates me or i hate her or the kids, their families are complicated. also, you go fight for 20 years, you come back and your first job is to help other veterans? that's admirable. a lot of people like sean parnell who we know and others who worked for him i got to push back on that. i was with him every step of the way. number two you can't hold this job down and fill in for laura ingraham and sean hannity work 8 hours every sunday and over the course of 14 years. no show you kantz do. watch him on the patriot awards. this guy is and i will just say this. the way these detractors are describing him it would be gobble think he would still be survivability. pete is cut out of stone. he is a rock. the guy eats healthier, acts healthier, works harder. literally worked on his ranch. he has a lifestyle that reflects his discipline. a lot of people when you go and do things that are controversial

you are going to get a lot of enemies. i'm not saying he walks on water but i'm saying when he goes out in fronts ask him real questions. you want to know what he did in business what he did with his organization? but stay out of the marriages. that has nothing to do with this. and to me -- especially if you are looking back. very few people and those people that we feature on the saints episodes on fox nation. besides them, and martin scorsese talking about them and life after, besides him there is nobody questioning him and no one ever going to sit there that has had a perfect life. ask yourself at 450-something years old the perfect person at the right time to lead our military in the right direction? >> lawrence: it's what the people wanted was a disrupter. second thing i would say is this: much like the matt gaetz situation, careful what you wish for. do you want ron desantis there? you think pete is going to be a disrupter. put ron desantis even more of a disrupter like when you got

poland, let the process play out. >> steve: we have got on our show an exclusive later on in the 8:00 hour, pinal pay hegseth, pete's his or her is going to be on. she wanted to explain the scathing email she sent and what happened after that and she will be here exclusively on "fox & friends." >> brian: you want some good news. i saw those citizens shout down idiotic mayor for backing sanctuary cities and then i watch a mayor in new york city say i want to talk to tom homan because i want to make sure that we have an illegal immigration problem and i want to work with this guy. listen. >> we are willing to take migrants and asylum seekers that are not criminals and committing crimes. we're willing to take them, but they have to be able to work. i don't understand why this wasn't clear to the previous administration. those who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent

people, have been a harm to our country, i want to sit down and hear the plan on how we are going to address that. those are the people i am talking about and i would love to sit down with the border czar and hear his thoughts on how we are going to address those who are harming our citizens. this is not a new position. because, in the era of cancel court, culture. cancel me because i'm going to protect the people of the city. >> lawrence: this is a mayor now responding to the will of the voters. he is no idiot. he saw what happened in new york city. and i just be cancel me, i don't care. i would just say this though, if you look at, the media has just caught on to this but we have been covering it for months now. >> steve: decades, lawrence. decades we have covered. this. >> lawrence: talking about recently, all these once

democrats go into city council meetings in chicago and boston and here in new york city, the residents saying what about us? you are closing our community centers and taking over our schools. >> steve: right. >> lawrence: giving credit cards to the illegals because they wanted to throw out the food they don't like it. what about us? i commend the mayor for taking the meeting. >> steve: break into the country come in illegally and break more rules, why are we allowing you to stay here. it is extraordinary that mayor adams now is saying if you break the law, you should be deported. perhaps he -- and he made that statement yesterday, listen, there's been so much crime and we have shown you a lot -- there is another egregious story. it just happened in times square about two blocks from where we are sitting. a 13-year-old migrant from ecuador and three of his teenage pals who were wearing masks, they stopped a pedestrian and

they said hey, can you take our picture presumably not in english. and the guy said yes. do you know what the kid did, the 13-year-old? he stabbed him with brass knuckles with the knife on it. got the guy in the leg and in the back. he ran off. the cops eventually did catch him. he has been arrested before. he was hold up. he has been staying over at the roosevelt hotel, but, the larger story with the "new york post" is that local cops are saying we have never seen so many juveniles involved in juvenile robberies and crime. some of these kids are arrested five, six, seven, eight times for the same stuff. >> emily: can i be honest i'm going to take a contrarian viewpoint too little too late, you are exactly right that he is just now capitulating to the will of the voters. roosevelt hotel, laken riley's killer cycled through there he was standing in front of a sign

during that presser saying subway crime down 15%. it's laughable considering as we speak the jury is deliberating on the daniel penny case. all of us who live in new york city that are subjected to the rot and the crime in times square, the crime outside, the million weapons i carry in my purse because you know what? there is not a police officer on every corner because they have the least contract in the country. zero support from this mayor who up until now was a total invertebrate saying there was room for everyone on these streets. the reality there isn't. after the reclassification of the juvenile court system in this city which he supported, that's why the juve juve juvenie recidivist background get away everything. >> steve: all family court. >> emily: responsible for spiking violent crime. the notion that somehow their youth makes them softer in their crimes is absolutely tragic because the reality is, the damage, the collateral devote quote damage, those are lives lost. those are injuries sustained and all of that is irreparable so the damage that he has committed by not taking a hard stance in

the beginning to me is unforgivable, but sure, go ahead and say now cancel him. the reality is i don't want him canceled. i want him responsible. >> brian: what we will see he also needs donald trump to maybe pardon him. get some momentum behind him. whatever it is, you are right. you think it's too little too late. i understand that maybe a little slow. also backing danny penny now say you want him -- where -- you should be calling out al village bragg. meanwhile if you want to know how expensive it is to house illegal immigrants in this city where we have 56,000. over 700,000 pass through. look at these other historic programs in our past that we have paid for and compared to legal immigration word ward 1, 334 billion. apollo billion 257 billion. space program overall 150.7 billion. taxpayer costs for the manhattan project to build the aton midge bomb 30 billion. the panama canal is 15 billion.

hoover dam 1 billion. now compare that to illegal immigration in our country $150 billion. >> lawrence: it's incredible. and, you know, it doesn't even include what is happening in texas. we are not even talking about -- we're talking about the feds. we are not even talking about the what the state of texas has to pay. we don't get reimbursed for it. because we have a superfluous in our state. we have been paying to secure the border. if you go out to the border, there are no border agents that are there on the frontline. they are processing. they will can't do their job. someone has to pay for that so, the state has been paying for that. this is unbelievable. that is so much money that we could be doing. homeless off the street. people living in poverty. fix our school. kids can't read now. we are paying for all of this? >> steve: the number that is the real tell is the one in the upper right-hand corner. this is just for one year.

illegal migration has cost taxpayers $150 billion. in comparison, look. that is about half the cost of all world war i. and, you know, a fraction of the apollo space program. it's just extraordinary. that is one year $150 billion. and that is why we all feel it. >> brian: i love that doge is bringing this public. that's going to be their greatest asset. people say what can they actually do. actually coach president trump and make their case for executive orders. also rally congress, especially joni ernst says i'm going to work with you right away. some democrats who want a future will feel the same way. right now they are reeling. and i think the fact that is that elon musk and vivek ramaswamy holding a press conference going to be covered by all the networks. >> emily: to see our tax dollars to be squandered in black and white out there cyber deal on monday for 150 billion more world war i or illegal

immigration for a year. to your point all that covers is the federal taxpayer dollars. it doesn't cover that the emergency services budgets were absolutely blown one month annual year. doesn't cover the lives lost. it is so traumatic for the american people and the thought that this rip peel effect won't be generational finally, however, with new sheriffs in town, new bookkeepers in town with elon and vivek saying we are holding up the tax receipts on the basis of what was such opaque administration in 150 days. don't give you any type of indication what your tax dollars are going to. >> steve: what could we do with $150 billion spending it on that. that you will stuff instead we have got the -- it's a mess. and everybody knows it's a mess; however, if you were looking at the x account of the house ways and means democrats. they posted something yesterday quite tone deaf and pretty much immediately took it down. they said and here we were

thinking y'all couldn't afford eggs. and as you could see that's with a screenshot of a post by a journalist that said record air travel, holiday shopping, busing records, stock market at all time highs, the economy is the worst ever some pauley annas wine. what they don't take into effect effect and into consideration is the fact that it's tone deaf. >> lawrence: don't be ashamed of it. you do it on uneducated voters. we can't convince those types of people. oh no, the economy it's good. you know, inflation was just transitory. it's line after line telling voters they are not smart enough to understand their situation. and i think just be open with it. don't try to hide it because the people already know, the condense sending tone that they continue to use with the voter.

they are not smart enough to understand how things work. >> emily: irony that reflected consumer optimism in the future. it was the fact that president donald trump is the president-elect. it's the fact that they have now a refreshing administration to look forward to. that's in part what fosters consumer excitement and spending on cyber monday. wasn't the dread everyone has been feeling the last four years. the mocking, t t the con con den sense. leave it up. you don't need to hide it. >> brian: do some head liens and talk about illegal immigration. the illegal migrant from venezuela convicted of murdering the georgia nursing student laken riley we just referred to asking for a new trial i assume in spanish jose ibarra's lawyers claiming the judge may quote errors of the law. the known gang member guilty of all 10 counts against him including murder and kidnapping. ibarra sentenced to life in prison without the possibility

of parole. this morning a new york city jury resumes deliberations in the daniel penny's subway chokehold trial as the young marine veteran fights for his freedom. jurors considering manslaughter and negligent homicide charges with in connection with the death of jordan neely harassing people on subway all caught on tape. mayor eric adams supporting penny saying quote those passengers were afraid. i have been on the subway system. i know what it is to wrestle and fight with someone all the facts laid out. a jury of his peers will make the right decision. penny faces up to 15 years in prison if he is found guilty. put alvin bragg on trial after that. federal judge presiding over trial. bashing president biden's claims the charges against hunter were politically motivated saying quote nowhere does the constitution give the president the authority to rewrite history closed quote. california based land lord is accusing the first son of owing more than $300,000 in unpaid

rent. sean macguire posting, quote: what happens to the 300,000 plus in back rent that hunter biden owes my family from 2019 to 2020? is that pardoned now? this is getting even worse, guys. they have a venice beach apartment that is worth a couple of million and rent it to him. when he stops paying rent. you have got to pay rent. secret service looks like they changed the locks the land lord can't get in and hunter biden can continue with his rehab lifestyle. >> steve: here is the problem for hunter biden. so the land lord wants $300,000 and you hear joe biden absolved him, pardoned him from everything going back to 2014. but here's the thing. those are only federal charges. and emily, as a lawyer, you know that the landlord could bring that in state. >> lawrence: sue him, too. >> steve: and state court and

get the money. he is it still on the hook for it. >> emily: my first thought about this yes and hunter now, with the smug weevilling you know condescension he has. with the assurance he has no responsibility amghtd never held accountable for his actions. tie him up in court. the landlord has a lot less means than hunter biden. oh you want that 300 k. all right. sue me for it and he will be mia like he was mia with his child care payments and showing up for tax court and everything else he has gotten away with so bad landlord. all the laws protect the tenants in california. under no circumstance also there be any protection for that london lord. >> steve: hunter is the first squatter. >> lawrence: sign credible though. he has never had to face any type of. >> brian: accountability. steve. >> lawrence: no responsibility. and we are supposed to feel sorry for him. that's the administration's point of view. >> brian: why the hell did joe biden run for president? he has got his hunter hooked on

drugs in 2020 not paying rent. he has got his beau's widow hooked on drugs thanks to hunter. this guy's house is a total mess. got all the international business deals, the laptop fbi bureau federal bureau. >> lawrence: granddaughter not being taken care of. >> brian: i think i will go run for president. what kind of responsible parent are you. >> lawrence: president. >> brian: then he becomes president. >> steve: the once and future president donald trump says he is ready to go after talking to republicans on capitol hill. his top priorities in the first not 100 days, first 30 days coming up next. ♪ the lord has come ♪ let earth receive her king ♪ let every heart ♪

republican senate majority is planning to prioritize the border, defense, and energy by a reconciliation. and will work on tax reform while putting in more hours and making voting process more efficient. here to discuss "wall street journal" editorial page assistant editor and fox news contributor james freeman. jim, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. >> steve: okay, you know, historically the presidents who are coming in they lay out their 100 day strategy. what they are going to do in the first 100 days. this is the first month and it's ambitious. >> yeah. i would say if they can get all those things done in 30 days then great. but, the history of the senate, the world's greatist deliberative body is that it probably takes a little longer. and that's why if i were donald trump, i would be pressing the senate to renew his great 2017

tax reform as the number one priority for a number of reasons. obviously, there is a lot he can do administratively on the border before congress acts on that. he showed that his first term and president biden has showed that in the last year bringing back a lot of the sort of trump style enforcement. and you saw the results. i think the tax reform is really key because a lot of those provisions are expiring at the end of the day of the year. you don't want businesses and consumers wondering all year tax provisions are going away motivating businesses all year long. >> steve: plus, james, you have got to remember what we are talking about right now is the senate because trump phoned in and gave them a pep talk, essentially. over across the way. in the rotunda across the

rotunda in the house there is just a tiny little sliver majority of republicans. i mean everybody has got to come to work every day to get tax reform done. >> yeah. and those other items, energy, the border, military, obviously high priorities for voters as well. with that razor thin house majority, obviously there is going to be some time and you saw it in the senate as well, they don't know exactly what they want in a border package. they kind of have a general consensus about walls and electronic surveillance and so forth. they don't have, yet, i don't think a consensus on the amount they are going to spend on that. so, that could take a while set the table right away with a big tax reform. i would hope house and senators would both recognize the benefits of just clarifying for everybody that their taxes are not going up next year or in

2026. and, you know, the only -- really the only major part of that 2017 reform that's permanent is that wonderful low corporate rate. a lot of small businesses, as you know the owners filed through the individual tax code. this is not something we want hanging over their heads all year. >> steve: they got to take care of -- >> they can't plan and invest until they know what is coming. >> indeed, i bet you were sitting in that chair when you wrote your new op-ed for the "wall street journal." and it's about educational equity. and you talk a little bit about how you know the progressives are pushing this. but it just is not working. >> no, we have seen this in a lot of cases where there is an urge to virtue signal. there is an urge to achieve a desired demographic composition. whether it be in classrooms or any other part of life. and reality intrudes.

and what is interesting, this is a story in the "boston globe" out of newton, massachusetts, which is very affluent, very liberal suburb, where they are re-thinking kind of a progressive educational policy that was putting kids of all skill levels in the same classrooms. and what is interesting about this is you have the faculty in this liberal school district saying this is not working. it's not serving kids at the high end or at the low end of achievement. we have to teach in the middle and it ends up still being not understood by the kids who need more help and the kids who don't need that help are bored. so, i think this is maybe an encouraging story that even in the liberal jurisdictions when progressive policies fail, there is a reckoning and acknowledgment. >> steve: it's a great op-ed.

read it in the "wall street journal," james freeman, thank you very much for joining us on this very busy wednesday. >> thanks, steve, great to be here. >> steve: okay. all right. meanwhile, jury deliberations in the manslaughter trial of daniel penny going to continue today. our next guest says this case is a wake-up call for people stepping up in a crisis. >> if he, god forbid is convicted, is going to frighten a lot of people in blue states to take action. and get more too. shop now for big black friday deals ♪olid our top brands. and rack up more points for you when you shop with my lowe's rewards. lowe's. ♪ if you struggle. ♪ and struggle. ♪ and struggle with cpap.

>> janice: good morning, everyone. we start with lake-effect snow still happening downwind of all of the great lakes where we have seen over 60 inches of snow in just a matter of days and more on the way. as we have this area of low pressure that's going to move across those great lakes and bring us not only snow down wind of the great lakes, but also into portions of new england and the northeast, new york city you could definitely see some flurries as we get into the overnight and into tomorrow. here are your winter weather

alerts, lots of winter storm warnings, winter weather advisories and blizzard warnings because the winds are going to blow in excess of 40, 50 miles per hour as we get into the overnight hours and into thursday. so any snow on the ground is going to be blowing around and that could cause visibility issues and people are going to be urged to stay off the rootedz. just listen to your local forecast. the other big story is the extreme cold. how cold is it? we have got teens, 20's and 30's for much of the map. especially the east coast. as far as south as florida, still having freeze alerts there all right. brian kilmeade. over to you. >> brian: thanks so much. now this very serious story. today jurors will continue to deliberate on the verdict -- for the verdict of marine veteran daniel penny. our next guest has a warning to all americans who think of themselves as someone who would step up. back in 2015, oregon national guard veteran alec skarlatos helped stop a terrorist attack recognized by the nation of france for his brave actions and

lauded around this country. oregon house represent elect alex scar lots at the joins us now my friend tackled him. got him in a chokehold, actually i beat him over the head with his ak-47 until he went unconscious. thank god it didn't happen in new york or we would probably be charged. >> are you outraged this is even brought to court to begin with and are you surprised that he is greeted every day danny penny chants of murderer as he walks into court hard to say anything is surprising anymore. par for the course. voters keep voting for this. the d.a.s are going to keep doing stupid stuff like this. it's offensive and stupid.

this guy obviously in a life and death situation. this guy was making threats to people. daniel penny didn't try to kill him. he tried to restrain him so he could go to the police station or go to a mental health care hospital. he accidently died for whatever reason maybe the chokehold or something else i'm not going to speculate. regardless this case should have never been brought. this is how anyone in his situation would have and probably should have acted. >> brian: you have a warning for people. if is he convicted, what is the warning out there for the next time a belligerent person gets on a subway or any type of close situation and starts making threats? what is actually at stake with this verdict? >> well, obviously, it's going to scare a lot of people i inaction. and i don't think that's just in this case. that's not just in subways.

that's not just in dealing with people that are out of control. this is going to have farther reaching consequences. you know, there is good samaritan laws that protect people a lot of people are going to wonder if their local prosecutor, if they are in a deep blue state is going to throw that aside and prosecute them anyway for doing the right thing. i mean, there is a lot of situations where laws like this could apply and it's just frightening because i live in a blue state and i know you do. so, i don't know. >> brian: what would you have done? >> i would have done the same thing as daniel penny, that he did. it's really hard to say without being put in that exact situation. but, it looked like his reaction was absolutely proper. and it was the right response to combat the right threat. they were equal in that regard,

i suppose. i'm just tired of, you know veterans getting unfairly scrutinized for their training. ridiculous what is going on with pete hegseth being nominated what they are doing to daniel penny and all that contrasted to hunter biden being pardoned for decades long crime spree and 13 americans getting killed withdrawing from the abbey gate in afghanistan know one being held accountable. it doesn't seem fair. >> brian: i never linked all three before but you just did. that's probably why you are running for office. saving people on that train and now try to help the country not only in service but now going to do it in congress. thanks so much for your point of view. nobody better to talk about this right now. hopefully this jury makes the right decision. thanks for joining us tote. bluck in washington. chicago residents are fed up. they are fed up with mayor

johnson saying he puts migrants over tax paying citizens. >> the city of chicago is out of the business of funding illegals. our mayor is embarrassing us, y'all around the world. it's more than paint. it's more than cleaning. that's the thing we'll never forget. for belfor, it's your memories. it's your life's passion. it's your home. belfor, restoring more than property. where ya headed? susan: where am i headed? am i just gonna take what the markets gives me? no. i can do some research. ya know, that's backed by j.p. morgan's leading strategists like us. when you want to invest with more confidence... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management

>> lawrence: so president trump -- president-elect trump pushing to fix the border crisis that reportedly cost taxpayers more than $150 billion last year alone. blue cities like chicago feeling the pinch as its own mayor vows to keep resisting trump. the taxpayers, they are just fed up. >> tax hike trying to push to house your illegal immigrants. you told trump you ain't going to blink well we ain't either. >> you are going down in history as the worst mayor in america. >> typically i'm here and i'm fussing. i want to say thank you to the is i council our mayor is embarrassing us, y'all, around the world. and you y'all took the power back from him to say the city of chicago is out of the business of funding illegals. >> lawrence: you just heard from pee ray easily. she was at that i saw a

community center, a health center and schools shut down because of funding. magically they were reopen for illegals. is that why residents are so frustrated right now. >> well, that's a portion of it. our main issue is it effects our bottom line. it is very cold in chicago right now. and there are people all around the city getting up to go make the doughnuts. we are not going to work to pay for illegals. they chose to pay here illegally we don't allow people to feast off of their criminality we are going to defend the people of this city. his attack let's be clear. the president-elect, former president trump his threat is not just towards arrival and undocumented feandz families. hills threats are also against black families. >> lawrence: a threat against

black families. how would you respond? >> i think it's very respectful for him to say that i'm an american -- our grandparents came here during the great migration. this is why we are really pushing for an end to race. because when you say black, that can mean anybody. they told us kamala was black. and yes there are black people who will be deported but that has nothing to do with the person people. our goal is to get this border closed and to get every unnecessary expense off of the budget line in the city of chicago. we can't afford it anymore. >> lawrence: it's a matter of affordability. then it's just common sense. so our kids can't read and write within our communities. you got people that are living in poverty. so, we have real issues in our community and it seems like they continue to say they can't fix it because of a strain but yet they find the money magically to

fund all these other programs for the migrants, right? >> so what they want to do, what i believe my mayor is doing is attempting to use the social and political capital of my community to advance the immigrant community. and we have been seeing this since the 1800s. frederick douglass warned us about this years ago. so now we are here. we are a much more informed and enlightened people. and we are america first i am an eighth generation american. i'm extremely invested in making this country grated as is everyone else. deportation fight. know that every american is in lock step with this because we deserve our spend our money in better ways. christmas is coming. why should we have to pay extra in taxes? >> lawrence: over 50% of the country are for pass deportations. you would think that the mayor would change after such a mandate as the last election. i haven't seen people in chicago so fired up until this issue

right here. i think it's going to be a game changer. p-rae thank you so much for joining the program. >> thank you for having me this morning. >> lawrence: you got it. more "fox & friends" straight ahead. ♪ the virus that causes shingles is sleeping... in 99% of people over 50. it's lying dormant, waiting... and could reactivate. shingles strikes as a painful, blistering rash that can last for weeks. and it could wake at any time. think you're not at risk for shingles? it's time to wake up. because shingles could wake up in you. if you're over 50, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about shingles prevention. oh, we got a weathertech gift card!
