that we have in the studio with us. it is a caribou. will: we don't have a shot ready to to go of it but, yeah, i'm -- [laughter] i called it a baby moose. i was sitting here with charlie going, that's the smallest moose, they didn't connect me -- correct me once. charlie, our relationship's not going to work if you just let me run on and upon and on. this whole thing is predicated -- charlie: we're taller than it -- will: i know. rachel: moose are very, very large. charlie: very dangerous. will: and i was telling him the story, this must be a baby. [laughter] rachel: let's take a peek at that. will: it doesn't work on tv because we don't have shot of i- charlie: also caribou don't pull sleds. will: boom. there it is. thank you, bass pro, for that baby moose. [laughter] rachel: it's beautiful. will: no, it is a caribou because, of course, it is christmas season, and anyone if

who's an outdoorsman or pretends to be like me would have known that, and if i had a cohost i could trust, would have said it to the me right away, will, you got that wrong. rachel: that's the point of bass pro, we're learning more about the outdoors. charlie: every time you go into bass pro, they have all these mag enough seven animals. will: i know. it's really awesome. -- magnificent. rachel: by the way, we're getting close to christmas, and i asked my son if he was going to be -- i asked him what he wanted for christmas, and i said do you think you're going to be on the naughty or nice lists, and here's what the catholic altar boy asked me -- or said in reply. he said, well, my question is, are my sins that i -- do the sins that i confessed count on the naughty or nice list? [laughter] will: yeah. rachel: on the list of -- i said, of course they don't count, they're erased. will: yeah. rachel: smart kid.

will: santa's standards are the same jesus'. rachel: if you confess your sins, then they done count for santa to count them. charlie: it's two different standards. but it also sounds like maybe he should go to law school. he'd be a really good hour. rachel: i thought it was a clever question. charlie: we have this fox news alert, the nypd is making a major break in the manhunt for united health care ceo brian thompson's killer finding what is believed to be the shooter's backpack. rachel: that discovery coming as the fbi joins what's now a nationwide search. will: chanley painter is here this morning with more. chanley. >> reporter: hey, good morning. the man hun now entering its fourth day, expanding nationwide after authorities say this gunman, pictured here, left new york city immediately after murdering united health care ceo brian thompson wednesday morning. in this photo you can see the suspect wearing a gray backpack. authorities now say they have that gray backpack after finding

it hidden in the brush many central park. "the new york post" sharing this up-close shot of that. police say that when the assailant fled from the shooting scene on the e-bike, he rode into central park wearing this backpack but exited without it as you can see here in this new video obtained by fox. the suspect on the bike no longer has the backpack on, and that critical piece of evidence is now in the hands of a crime lab for analysis and testing. nypd chief of detectives tells us what happened next. watch. >> he was here for about ten days. but we have that bus leaving the same morning, him going up to the port authority terminal the same morning as the incident, approximately an hour afterwards. >> reporter: and here is an overall look at the path the suspect took after the shooting. police believe the suspect likely left on a bus headed towards atlanta, reversing the same route the gunman took to the city, and they have video of him entering that bus depot but no video of him exiting it.

now the fbi is assisting the nypd with this investigation, offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. the dea also stepping up saying this, quote, we have offered all assistance, but fbi has lead federally, so we are there for them to lean on us for anything. we're also being told by police they're processing that possible dna, fingerprint evidence and cell phone data as they home in on the identity of the person responsible, guys. back to you. will: all right. thank you, chanley. it's a fascinating story that we're trying to keep up the details on. we'll see where this leads, as we all suspect, very quickly. the police may know more than they're letting on, and and it seems inevitable they're going to find this man. but back here to domestic politics, we do wonder where the apology is to the american people for the lie e that we were given for the better part of a year, would you -- will you pardon hunter biden, joe biden in that question also asked of karine jean-pierre. of course, we were told the

answer is, no, he would not. and now we've seen that pardon. so karine jean-pierre's now being asked whether or not they owe the american people an apology. >> he thought about it, and he weighed, he -- it was not an easy decision to come to, and he put out a comprehensive, comprehensive statement. and i would certainly, you know, offer that up to folks out there who are wondering. i would say please read the president's response to this in full. >> reporter: -- just very specific --? >> it's not only colleagues who watch this, there's also the american people. so to be fair -- >> reporter: exactly, and they were told by you in july -- >> yeah. >> -- that this would not happen, and pit did. i'm asking you, do you feel like you owe an apology to the american people? if. >> i just laid out the president's thinking. the president laid it out himself in his own words. he did. he laid out how he wrestled with

this decision. he said in his statement as a president, as a father, he talked about how difficult it was the make this decision. charlie: you know, what's infuriating, they don't even acknowledge reality which is probably a pretty good tactic if, you know, you're just trying to control the news. the problem for them though is at system point it becomes delusional. she's delusional when she refuses to the acknowledge clear reality of all of her denials. rachel: yeah, you know, if you look at the timing again, the date that he starts, the pardon from, it's very consistent about pardoning hunter. it's about pardoning joe biden, it's about pardoningville biden who also participated in terms of enjoying the largess that was a made from abroad from, you know, china, ukraine and russia. it includes the grandkids. there were -- remember the offshore accounts that were put in the grandkids' names?

so the entire biden scheme to sell out the country and make money off of joe biden's position as vice president, that's what this was about. this was not some selfless father looking out for his crackhead son. this was the about pardoning the entire family racket and everyone involved in it. will: and, by the way, we're not done. rachel: not. will: i mean, the pardons to come will in themselves, i believe, be an admission -- rachel: oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. will: it won't just be -- we'll see. jim biden -- charlie: if i were a betting man, i would bet that joe biden pardons himself before he leaves office. rachel: we actually talked about off camera is also that these pardons as much as we all hate them and know that it's really an admission of what we've always a known about what was on that laptop from hell -- charlie: right. rachel: -- it will make it very easy for joe -- for donald trump

to pardon the january 6th political prisoners. charlie: oh, by using the exact same standard. rachel: yeah. charlie: you don't have to go beyond that. will: it'd actually be different, because it'd be in the spirit of a pardon which is specific. hunter biden's pardon is a blanket pardon over an 11-year time frame for things we don't even know. of. rachel: yes. charlie: also -- rachel: we know who the big guy is, come on. charlie: also the political activity that went into the investigation of hunter biden vastly helped him as opposed to to hurt him. you know, you had the secret service, you had the irs, you had the fbi, you had doj, everybody was desperate to the try to help hunter biden and that it wasn't physical that got blown up -- until that got blown up that he got charged. rachel: that's right. charlie:st the exact opposite is with the january 6th people. the january 6th people have been doggedly per sued and prosecute.

rachel: yeah. it's the stuff that happened to these people -- rachel: will: real quick, you were just talking about she's delusional, talking about karine jean pier. i don't know. it's really fascinating, it's very orwellian to hear her speak. what i'm getting at is here's a specific question, do you apolo apologize to the american people, and the answer is the president has given a comprehensive response, as though the president's words crafted in a press release have the authority that is unquestioned and should answer all your questions. i have a specific question that's not addressed in that memo. i refer you back to dear leader's words, you know in. [laughter] rachel: yeah. i think what's so gross about this entire situation with hunter expect families, you remember when jfk said ask not what the country can do for you, what you can do for the country. the entire biden legacy, in my opinion, is about what the government, what these positions can do to help the family. and i'll tell you, you see a

perfect example this coming weekend. jill biden is taking a solo trip, and we know she's going to end up at notre dame along with donald trump for that sort of grand opening of the notre dame cathedral after the renovation. but before that, this is a big junket. she's going to four countries. she's going to uae, italy, qatar, she's going to end up in france. like, i wish doge was on -- happening right now. like, what purpose could there possibly be other than to waste our money which they've done and feed off of the american people which jill and joe have done their entire political career? why is jill biden going? the joe biden's not going, he's not well, probably, but there's no purpose in her going. maybe you could justify france. no need for her the go, she's on her way out of the door. charlie: rachel, it's very hard to give up private travel. rachel: i know. i can't.

will: we have this, international test scores show that fourth and eighth graders in the united states test scores have dropped, e believe this is since -- it was the paris if time since 1995. it's after the school closures, they're down 18 points for fourth graders, 27 points for eighth graders. this is according to trends in international mathematics and social and science study. so huge drop in those grades after what we saw happen during covid. rachel: yeah. i just did an interview with tom who's a therapist, we were talking about -- by the way, here's some of, these are all a countries that are doing better than we are. and to be fair, american test scores especially in mathematics have been dropping because our public schools have been failing. but to drop -- the drop during covid was significant because we basically locked down the schools. and the people who were responsible for that, randi weingarten, anthony fauci, everyone who perpetuated this idea that somehow children were

these vectorses of spreading the virus, and basically they held our country for ransom, they said we're not going to open these schools unless you give us a billion dollars, meanwhile, the catholic schools were open and they just wiped down, they sprayed their desked, they opened, and their scores have not dropped like this. charlie: yes. i mean, you talk about international competition. you know, singapore, turkey, poland, romania, all of these places, these countries are doing a better job of educating hair children than we are -- their children than we are. and, you know, i think that, you know, the debate about closing the department of education, i think it's a fantastic idea. rachel: yes. charlie: and people say, well, you know, you don't want to take money away from education. that's not taking money away from education, that's returning must be to the states and -- money to the states and parents so that parents can get their kids out of schools they're trapped in and send them to better schools that that don't close during covid.

rachel: that's such an interesting question. i wonder if the idea of the money being back in the states, had that been happening during covid, would some states just have remained open? i mean, they wouldn't have had that. i don't know. will: you spoke, you mentioned a moment ago, you spoke earlier about this drop in test scores. watch. >> when i was counseling kids in my office in person that were doing virtual learning, they told me that they basically, some kids it would me they literally could not learn virtually. other kids were spending all of their time in their bedrooms on their devices, hours and hours a day. we also have a mental health epidemic in our society is, so it's kind of like the perfect storm. it makes sense to me that math test scores and other scores are going to be down considering everything that's going on in our kids' lives nowadays. we also have a sleep epidemic, sleep depravation epidemic among our teenagers in the country right now because they're up all

night. so an exhausted, tired kid is a nonfunctioning kid. they're not going to be able to learn. we're losing a generation of kids mentally, physically, academically. something has to be done. charlie: you know the sleep loss has just as much to do with the phones as everything else. rachel: yes. charlie: not only should phones be taken away from kids when they're in school, they ought to be taken away at night as well. rachel: we talked about that in that interview as well. sleep depravation -- will: guilty. personally and as a parent, guilty. rachel: yeah. me too. turning now 20 your headlines -- your headlines, a judge dismissing the second-degree manslaughter charge against daniel penny. the move came of off the jury deadlocked twice. the young marine veteran now faces up to four years in prison on the lesser charge of negligent homicide. jury deliberations resume monday. vp-elect j.d. vance touring damage caused by helene in western north carolina.

and he's sending a message to survivors in the aftermath of the deadly storm. >> my simple message to the people of appalachia is that we haven't forgotten ya, and i know a lot of people in this neck of the woods feel left behind and forgotten. i want the make them feel that their government leaders actually care about them because with we do. when this administration changes hand in the next 45 days, we're going to do everything we can to to help people rebuild. rachel: vance also visited family members of a first responder who died after being killed by a landslide. watch all four episodes of "the saints "right now on foxnation.com. here's a look at the latest episode about st. maximilian colby. ♪ >> you can hide among us. >> i have to go with them.

our next guest warns effective security owes beyond body guards. former leader of the threat management team at unitedhealth group jamison ritter joins us now. thanks for being with us. a threat management team at a place like united held, which we just saw this being a target, what would you do? like, how would you assess these types of threats, and what are your warnings for other companies? >> well, you know, at the end of the day, a threat management team is truly multidisciplinary. what we try to do is take all information regarding threats the the employees, the staff, to others, assess those for escalation to violence and then, ultimately, try to intervene in some way that prevents minute from escalating to violence. so at the end of the day, it's a lot of prevention, a lot of hard work and a lot of collaboration with other elements within and outside the company. will: i want to ask you about one of the specific things that you have told us about myths or

mistakes made when you're talking about protecting ceos, the myth that employees snap. that is something that we all have come to believe, i think, anecdotally, that all of a sudden an employee loses it and, boom, instead it's more, as you diabetic, like a cat and mouse game. would you explain that? is. >> yeah, absolutely. things like terrorism, active shooters, school shooters, workplace violence, all those things, it really is about a understandable escalation, a pathway to violence. what we're looking at here is predatory violence or targeted violence which is a deliberate decision to go from grievance to action through several understandable stages. and our job as security professionals is the try to move that timeline further and further away from an action of violence. so we can observe things like planning, surveillance,

communications, what we might call leakage where people are on social media or talking to friends and family about their intent or their grievance. so we're really trying to pick a needle out of a haystack in a lot of ways and identify the one of potentially hundreds or thousands of people that might if is have the ability to go from having a very strong grievance to willing and able the act in violence. will: so, jamison, i know you may be somewhat read into this investigation, but i don't want to presume you know specifically about this incident just yet. you did work with unitedhealth group. we're having a conversation, you and i, just now in how you assess internally, i think, i believe that's the presumption underlying whether or not someone snaps or stalks you. but is there anything in this particular case right now that leads you down the path of we're having the right conferring, that this is about some -- conversation, that this is about some threat that emerged internally, or could it still be

an external threat here that is this case when it comes to united health? >> you know, it's hard to say at this early stage, but i'd be willing to say the threat management process, assessing these types of threats really can come from any direction. it can be external, it can be internal. it can come from all sources. in a case like this, it's possible that this person may have communicated with others outside the company, within the company through other methods. it's clear, at least from my perspective, that in many ways this is a very strong case of a grievance moved to action. so the things like what we've been hearing about the the items written on the ammunition, the ability to do surveillance, to be there early. all of these things are very deliberate, target-predatory violence, predatory acts leading up to violence. will: even, i would suggest, i

would presume identifying mr. thompson suggests there's some familiarity, perhaps even a grievance here as the motivation. but we'll see how this plays out. jamison ritter, thanks for being with us this morning. >> absolutely. thanks for having me. will: all right. the pentagon giving lawmakers the latest on ufos as officials continue to investigate swarms of drones in new jersey. what to make of those mysteries, next. jon hamm: in this family, we choose to be here for each other.

[laughter] i suspect we need to open the season on drones. i've to been briefed on military

maneuvers where we mow that the chinese are doing that, and so it's a real problem. i think we need -- and, honestly, i don't respected this country right now because of who's in the white house. you saw the chinese balloon able to fly over our secret installations, even in tennessee. it turned around and went back. we could have dropped it in the pacific a long time before it went across the ocean. they dropped it off the coast of myrtle beach. so they are actually testing us, i feel like, and we are failing that test. and until donald trump gets in the white house, you'll continue to see this, but i would say it will -- rachel: that doesn't make me feel, that doesn't make me feel safe, that i have to wait until donald trump is in office to find out what's flying literally outside my window. we're not even talking, like, way over my house. >> yes, massachusetts well, you've got local -- yes, ma'am. you've got local laws and regulations, and i would suggest you we petition your local

folks. finishing a a a is failing at their job. rachel: just so you know, everybody in my neighborhood is calling the police station and the sheriff, and then the sheriff says call the fbi, and nobody gets any answers. here's what the faa said. they said safely integrating drones into the national air space system is a key priority for the faa. we look into all reports of unauthorized drone operations and investigate when appropriate. what? if like, that doesn't tell me anything. >> that's gutless, ma'am -- rachel: yes. >> it's the at tawd of the -- attitude of the federal government, and i suspect our friends at doge will make that report, and i hope congress has the guts to do something about it. what you'll do is, as i've stated on my, and account that had over 3 million views, i said the problem is the congressmen that are in that room. they've got to get the guts to do something about it. and, you know, if they make the propeller in one guy's district can and the battery in other districts, they're going to say,

well, we need to study this for a while, and we don't need to study it, ma'am, it needs to go away. charlie: speaking of doge, elon musk and vivek ramaswamy are talking about trying to find $2 trillion in savings from the federal deficit. and this is great, and everybody can get behind that, but there's part of me that says, okay, $the 2 trillion, we've got a $34 trillion deficit. we're going to have to do a whole lot more than just $2 trillion. >> yeah, it's, like, 35. we have a trillion the every 100 days. again, this is where congress has to get some guts and the people and your viewers have to hold us accountable. i look up on that board every day at votes, and there's probably 15 or 20 of us us that put a red dot which means we vote against it. last week we voted for one bill that had over $300 million unfunded. we're borrowing from our great grandchildren. again, you've got your congress people up there, and they're going to grease their buddies,

their lobbyists, their wife or girlfriend works for some governmental organize, and that's what happens. you all have got to start holding us accountable. if we could get single-issue spending bills like we do in tennessee, they drop a 3,000-page bill on our desk, and then we have got 2 hours to read it. you read down and find out what lobbyists you need to grease, what group you promised to, what bridge you got in your district and then you vote for it. that's why we're $35 trillion in debt. do individual spending bills. and the old-timers tell me, we'll be here all night. well, y'all pay us over $170,000, at least in tennessee that that's a heck of a lot of money, and we need to start earning it. will: do you think there should be a bag with limit on drone season in tennessee or do you find it like the wild hog? >> actually, i pass thatted that bill. i think drones are a whole lot

like chickens -- [laughter] willwell so open season, unlimited bags for drones. rachel: do you know what charlie was telling me during the break, congressman? the one place you can't fly drones over is washington d.c. charlie: it's true. rachel: interesting. you can fly over my house but not the white house. >> we have the capability of knocking those things down, ma'am, don't let 'em tell you we don't. i have it on pretty good information. the ufo issue is a totally other issue, of course. will: all right. congressman tim burchett, thanks for being with us this morning. rachel: thanks, congressman. >> yes, ma'am. if you can get me a couple good old boys up there and get 'em a permit, i'm sure they'll knock those drones down.

know, if this sanctuary remains nothing but ashes and and rubble, then it looks like to the world that satan has won, and we can't let that happen. jesus said upon this rock, i will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. and whether we're talking about the reopening of notre dame or the reopening of first baptist dallas, it's a message to the world that, ultimately, god will win over satan, the kingdom of light will prevail over the kingdom of darkness. and that's a message our whole world needs to hear right now. rachel: you know, western civilization, europe in particular, has undergone gone a remarkable transfora mission from being the center of christianity to the sec tar the piece of, you know, the secular -- in many ways, it's lost touch with its history and its roots, and notre dame is a really important part of that. will and i were talking earlier, there was a "60 minutes "segment, he said it was a

10-minute piece that he and his wife watched. they talked about the restoration, everything that went into it, and he said they never once mentioned god. so while i feel like you're right, we can't let satan win, and i'm glad this tremendous, you know, piece of art and architecture has been restored and hovers over that city as a symbol and a testament to the christian faith of the french people in western europe, i just wonder if it's going to have the effect that you say. >> well, without the gospel of jesus christ and the message coming forth regularly from god's word, it's just the building. and the church is more than just bricks and mortar. it's a group of people who have dedicated their lives to christ. and, by the way, president trump understands that. i think it's very significant. rachel: me too. >> he is there today. he cares about churches. in fact, he -- i talked the him two weeks ago, and the first

thing he asked was about the condition of our our church. he was doing more than being lite. president trump understands that faith -- to polite. president trump understands that faith is the glue that holds this civilization and this country together. and if churches do well, our country does well. rachel: amen to that. if you've never been to notre dame, it is something to take in. it's just spectacular. we're really happy for that, can ask and we're really happy that donald trump has taken time out of his schedule to be there. jill biden also going to be there. pope francis not showing up, unfortunate. pastor robert jeff res, thank you so much. >> thank you. rachel: you got it. we'll check in with rick reichmuth right after this with project thank a cop at their annual shop with a cop event. that's up next. ♪ ♪ lowe's knows the best holiday tradition is taking your tradition to the next level. so, if you find a lower price on the things you -
