journalist. charlie: fake farmer but i can't pretend to be a cowboy. will: you're like a mullet of a tv host party on the bottom. charlie: good thing ab mullet, though, is you can trim it yourself. will: pull it around the side and get after it. rachel: is that something that happened in your high school days? will: did you have a mullet? charlie: yeah -- will: on it right now. looking at your facebook. >> we did not exist on the internet back then. will: there's a yearbook somewhere. we're on it. rachel: you'll learn charlie that kind of a mention will get you in trouble here. charlie: the least embarrassing thing you will find. will: on that too. we love having him on "fox & friends" weekend but meanwhile. rachel: we have a fox news alert nypd is making a major break in the man hundredth for gunman who

killed ceo brian thompson we're finding what is believed to be the shooter's backpack. charlie: that discovery coming as the fbi joins the nationwide search. will: chanly is here with more. reporter: good morning that's right the manhunt 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 the photo you can see the suspect wearing gray backpack authorities now say they have that gray backpack after finding it hidden in the brush in central park. new york post sharing this up close photo police say that when the assailant fled from shooting on an e-bike he rode into central park wearing backpack and exited without it as you can see here in this new video obtained by fox, the suspect in black on the bike no longer has the backpack on. that critical piece of evidence, though, now in the hands of all

crime lab for analysis and testing. the nypd police chief of detectives tells us what happened next. watch. >> you see about ten days -- but we have that bus leaving the same morning him going up to the port authority terminal the same approximately an hour after this. >> here's a look an overall look at path the suspect took wednesday morning after the shooting. police believe the suspect likely left on a bus headed towards atlanta. reversing the same rout they think he took on the way to the city. they have video of him entering the bus depot and no video of him exiting an now fbi is assisting the nypd with thisinv0 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. the dea also stepping up saying, quote, we have offered all assistance but fbi has federally so we're there for them lean on us for anything and we are being told police -- they're processing that possible dna fingerprint and cell phone

data as they hone in on the identity of this person responsible. guys. >> thank you for that chanly. will: it is a fascinating case the mystery -- the tiktok of what this guy did that day. and maybe where he is now, we did speak to a former threat management team leader from united health group. he was on fox for us to talk about how they prepare normally to protect themselveses from any type of situation that happened here. how they try to protect their ceos. >> threat management treatment is multidisciplinary what we try to do is take threats to the employees, the staff, others, assess those for escalation to violence and ultimately try to intervene in some way that prevents somebody from effect lating to violence. it's possible that this person may have communicated with

others through other methods it is clear at least from my perspective in many ways this is a very -- very strong case of a grievance move to action. so the things like what we've been hearing about the -- items written on the ammunition -- the ability to do a surveillance to be there early all of the things are predator acts leading up to violence. >> we need more information and i guess with time we'll get that nypd is on it supposedly i think fbi also involved see how it turns out. >> they have a lot more information understandably than we know. but it looks like the -- it appears like maybe the walls are closing in a little bit on this guy. they know they're tracking his movements pretty well. >> meanwhile back to politics. one of the lessons i think we've come to understand i hope that everyone is come to understand

is the power of projection. rachel: yeah. will: accuse opponent which sins you're committing. former president obama gave us another example of projection thursday night in chicago. he gave a speech where he talked about the weaponization of government, and the polarization of your opponent polarization of america. let's listen to the words of former president obama. >> since total victory is impossible in a country politically split down the middle it is a doom loop government gridlock, even greater polarization. what i mentioned to a few friends that our federation would be hosting forum on democracy and pleurallism i got more than a few eye rolls especially as far as they were concerned the election proved that democracy is pretty far down on people's priority list.

there are going to be times potentially when one side tries to stack the deck and lock in a -- a permanent grip on power. either by actively votes or politicizing the armed forces or using the judiciary criminal justice system to go after opponents. will: that my friends is projection. rachel: that is amazing actually so it is intentional this isn't just some tick or something that just popped into his head. because he's bummed out that they lost the election so bad people need to understand barack obama has been a really negative force on this country. and on politics, and creating so much division. that comes from saul, people forget barack obama was teaching rules for radical he was

teaching about the university of chicago. that is who hero to him and one of his rules among many that was meant to basically dismantle society and bring about this -- you know, liberal utopia one of them was how to attack your enemy and saul took his actions from lucifer talked about somebody who can teach him tow to take power and control and here's barack obama charlie i think going -- he's in a bad spot. you know he created this, he thought it was beginning to become this permanent power base for him, and now he's accusing the right of what he did because he's just superbummed out right now. >> it is total projection. it is also desperation -- that's the thing that's so striking to me about all of those remarks that he made that entire speech whatever it was. was the depth -- he's very bitter. that's not the barack obama who

ran who gave that speech in 2004. even if you didn't grow or agree with his policy prescriptions it is a different guy than when he gave that speech in 2004 or when he won that election in 2008 he's a deeply bitter angry guy. and he's talking about how voters don't care about democracy. will: change turned into dour and bitter and bitter and projectionism. will: projecting he's not just projecting that we know at this point had is department of justice was weaponized under joe biden that was under joe biden what we should point out it all began under barack obama. that is when for example, he spied on a "fox reporter" that is when lois lerner targeted conservatives with irs and this begun and it was just extrapolated under presidency of joe biden. rachel: and then under barack obama and then under joe biden. which you know many people

believe that administration was being run out of obama's mansion in washington, d.c. but that said, the censorship industrial complex that was used to also consolidate that power is something else and that's one of the things that people were really voting against along with the weaponization of the government. this idea that it could be used to sensor us and therefore, allow them to consolidate power barack obama is very isolated right now even best friend george clooney wrote the op-ed ended pushing out joab is now upset at barack obama going hey, you told me to write that op-ed. now, everyone is blaming me online where are you barack obama? barack obama is becoming he's not used to not being glorified and this is anerting moment for him. >> meanwhile across the aisle you have donald trump who has taken over the mantle of sort of occupying the broad center of

american public opinion. on things like illegal immigration, to the point where you even have new york city's mayor eric adams who has previously supported sanctuary cities he can't be let off the hook entirely but open to the idea that donald trump and republicans are might very well have some solutions to solve the grave problems in the city. watch this. >> would you ever consider rejoining the gop? >> the party that's the most important for me is the american party i'm a part of the american party i love this country this is home of the freedom, land of the brave. >> eric adams taken a side to your point charlie of donald trump or at least tilted in the direction of donald trump -- when it comes to illegal immigration, there even leaving door open to a return to the republican party. >> bills are coming due he's like wait a minute maybe -- this wasn't such a great idea. >> also don't forget mayor adams was the subject i think about the weaponization that we were

just talking about. you know, he -- you said he was for sanctuary cities he saw effects on his city he was listening to the feedback coming from the bronx and queens. and people saying this is horrible our crime is up. we can't walk the streets. you know, there's, you know, illegal businesses on the sidewalk. the place look like crap, and so he's started to respond to it and draw attention to what was happening at the border, and all of a sudden he had a big investigation on him and so -- donald trump famously at the catholic event here in new york city just before the election sort of reaching out and saying yeah i know what that feels like this government can be weaponized. and i think that's why he's losing his thrill with the democrat party and it might be that he's being politically savvy reading the tea leaves people are in no mood for democrats and radical agenda right now. but i also think that he's experienced you have in to know

that this was not good for his city also what happened to him personally. a lot going on there. turning now to your headlines, this is a live look at notre dame cathedral president-elect donald trump arriving in france ahead of the reopening of the newly restored cathedral in paris. he was badly damaged in a fire five years ago and since undergone a 740 million dollar overhaul. later today, trump is expected to meet with french president macron and prince william who is standing in for king charles the third and reports indicate that trump could also meet with ukraine's president zelenskyy this would mark trump's first trip abroad as president elect. a federal apeats court panel is upholding law that could ban tiktok as soon as next month. but that's only if the platform fails to break ties with its china based parent company. yesterday's decision denied tiktok petition to overturn the law where they argued it violates the first amendment.

the legislation is designed to protect citizens from getting their data collected by foreign adversaries tiktok and bytedance expected to appeal to the supreme court. today is national pearl harbor remembrance day. 2403 -- to u.s. service members i'm sorry and civilians consider willed 83 years ago. in a surprise attack on the u.s. pacific fleet by the empire of japan. >> some 1941, a date which will live in infamy. rachel: pearl harbor day ceremonies held across the krpght including several in hawaii. last year fewer than 30 vngses attended the one in honolulu and those are your headlines. >> all right.

first the democrats and media attacked trump. now, of course, they're going after his cabinet. charlie: speaker of the house mike johnson on what he makes of it all. lowe's knows that holiday list can stretch

will: president-elect trump reiterating his support for secretary of defense nominee pete hegseth expressing confidence he can get confirmed. >> meanwhile fox learned that national intelligence director nominee tulsi gabbard will be on capitol hill to meet with members of the senate. >> madeleine rivera is live in washington with more. madeleine, good morning. >> good morning guys, president-elect trump says he believes defense secretary nominee pete hegseth can be confirmed although he admits he's not received assurances from senators still it is the latest public praise as hegseth trying to shore up support among lawmakers on capitol hill. >> it looks like pete is doing well now. i mean, people were a little bit concerned he's -- a young guy with a tremendous track record actually. went to princeton and wept to harvard he was a good student at both. but he loves the military i think people are starting to see it. >> vice president elect jd vance is throwing his support behind

hegseth too. >> we believe that pete hegseth is the right guy to lead the department of defense that's why president trump nominating him. we're not abandoning i fully support pete i think he'll get confirmed and we are completely behind him. >> next week is crucial for hegseth who is meeting with iowa senator joni again hegseth can only afford to lose three jop votes and says they're meeting this week was constructive. she adds that a minimum we agree he deserves the opportunity to lay out his vision for our war fighters and a fair heating hegseth saying a commitment to defense policy and i look forward to meeting with her again next week. another trump pick is heading to capitol hill next week director of national intelligence nominee tulsi gabbard she will likely face scrutiny regarding her views on syria and her 2017 trip to the country where she met with president bashar al-assad and spokesperson says lieutenant colonel is on national guard

duty this weekend in oklahoma and will begin hill meetings with senate meeting next week and looking forward to sharing her qualifications including serving two decades in the merle and hear the committee priorities. will rachel and charlie. will: thank you maddie. bring in speaker of the house mike johnson who joins us on fox "fox & friends." >> good morning. ?ril you heard the report when it comes to pete hegseth as secretary of defense there's a very positive momentum senator john cornyn expressing his public support for pete. and it seems like things are moving forward with joni joni ernst how do you feel? >> i think he's on the right track i talked to a number of senators on the hill over the last couple of days and momentum moving the right way. i like how he's approached it. we've made mistakes but we believe in redemption he brings

great education background, a great experience set, i think he's well suited for the job and he will chic up the status quo which is why this pick is so important. that's what president trump that's the common denominator to shake it up. rachel: i think that's why he's getting the push back that he has, let's face it and by the way, i love what you said about redental we have talked about this journey pete has been on his brother talked about it here those on the couch also seen that it is a sincere thing. he's a family man he comes here, on the weekend we see we know him so well. we know who he is. nobody who has made those reports has ever come to us and asked us about it. but it is so interesting isn't it speak or johnson that the media and so many of the people -- qhor clutching their pearls over pete's past are the same people who want to put pornography in the school and responsible for the degeneration of our culture. >> it is always a double standard for our sides and he'll shake up the status quo i got

here earlier this morning i was in the hair and makeup these ladies professionals extraordinary staff here at fox news. they're back there and telling us how much they miss pete he's so professional, great, they showed me their social media posts these are people working with him for what eight years. he's been at fox they're his biggest fans they're people who know pete and worked with him. he was in good spirits and i hope he gets this done. it will be a good thing. my oldest son a live fire exercise we have to fix the dod and he's the right guy to do it. >> nobody spengdz more time in washington but you running for office and the treatment of donald trump, the treatment of brett kavanaugh make your job harder getting good people willing to expose themeses themselves. >> if you want a high caliber taken on government service, this is not a good look who

wants to subject themselves to this and constant barrage on social media all of the things that come with it. but patriots like pete are the ones that we need he's willing to take the fire to stand and serve his country. >> mr. speaker we've seen this process play out almost like dominoes falling it with matt gaetz and pete hegseth and tulsi gabbard will be on the hill this week. why should we have a assessment it won't happen to tulsi and then robert f. kennedy does he not have a right it seems when democrats make their selections republicans confirm. the democrats like joe biden selections -- >> this is a really important tradition and principle that the president a new president gets to choose his or her team and he has the right to choose the people that he wants. to fulfill this man debt he's been given by the american people and so it is not right for them to go through and -- do what they're doing this character assassination i think is over the top and it does have

a deterring effect of better people getting involved in the system. rachel: you bet it does. there's a you talked about all of the different cabinet members who were disrupters this is what donald trump indicated we pretty much knew if he won he was going put somebody like robert kennedy jr. in one of the other developments that's been fascinating has been this -- new agency doge that will be run by vivek ramaswamy to look at all of the government spending and cut it and what's been interesting is i actually thought that was even just for pr sake was kind of a -- bipartisan thing. but like, the democrats are actually going we don't really like this agency. what is it? and they've been calling it a fake agency, and so -- i want you to listen to what hakim jeffries house minority leader said about it and i want to get your thoughts on the other side. >> it's unclear to me what exactly the objective is related to this --

so-called doge initiative. from our perspective, we want a federal government that is effective and efficient and equitable. and to extent the other side of the aisle shares that objective which is right for the american people and see if there's common ground for the american people. >> there's some of the government spending, the wasteful government spending with 7 billion, empty government buildings this one think about that, 3 million dollars on girl centered climate action in brazil. why wouldn't they want to even just from a pr state even if they didn't want to cut their programs just say we're not for that. >> yeah. exactly doge is exciting we have elon and vivek on the hill a couple of days ago and it was an amazing time. we brought together i brought together the senate and house republican leaders first.

the chairs of the committees jurisdiction who do the budgeting and infrastructure of government and we had a very productive discussion, everybody was really excited about that. and then i brought them into the big congressional auditorium we have house republicans in many, many of the senators, and it was a great dialogue brainstorming session we're putting the ground work in place to make real transformation changes to government we have to make it more efficientive and effective more focused on what it does. kayleigh: are the democrats excited? that doesn't look like they're excited. >> that's hakim talking points but democrats are joining the teal you heard several senate -- democrats and house democrats even on the day that they were on the hill. thursday, friday, joining on hey i want to be part of this. great we welcome them with open arms this ought to be bipartisan and aspire to have a government that is more responsive to the people so we're really, really excited about the potential here we believe we can cut it down. >> even bernie sanders --

>> even bernie sanders signaled that he was open to this. >> senator fetterman and jared in the house and more. look, i'm going to talk to all of the my democrat colleagues you talk about this join us that would be a great thing for the country. >> speaker thank you for being here. appreciate it good to be with you. merry christmas. glam we can't let him go without doing a donald trump impression? >> to me all of the time it is got good. it is not good for my like my career, okay.

hi beer back deliberation after

the top charge of second-degree manslaughter as jury became deadlocked twice chanly joins with us more. >> so daniel penny fate still in the hands of a jury, though, he may be resting a bit easier this weekend knowing the judge has thrown out the top count of manslaughter in the second-degree. which carried a sentence of up to 15 years. this all come after four days of deliberations and the jury telling the judge friday they could not reach a verdict on that manslaughter count. the judge then read the charge encourage them to reach a verdict but by the afternoon panel of five men and seven women were still deadlocked. so now on monday they will return to deliberate whether penny is guilty of the lesser charge of neglect criminal one remounting count will be dismissed by the jury on monday. that would finally put the nightmare behind danny and allow

us to focus on the civil lawsuit filed two days ago for the same allegations contained in the criminal indictment. now prosecutors mantessed that 26-year-old went way too far and placed 30-year-old jordan neely in a choke hold on a subway car for nearly six minutes after neely behavior was threatening. and neely family and supporters say this case is really about racism. racism is still alive ad kicking in america. those among you who say that daniel penny is innocent have racism and bias in your heart. >> america hates black people and we see it from the jury pool. on that lesser charge penny could face up to four years behind bars. >> chanly you were inside of the car and thank you for that report you were inside of the courtroom for closing arguments this week. tell us what you saw what you gathered, obviously, his attorney saying we think this lesser charge will be dismissed

were you able to get any ideas, feelings of where the jury was at? >> right i had my eyes on this jury for hours on monday and then again on tuesday as closing arguments concluded from both sides and i was trying to look for any sort of clue as to which way they may or may not be leaning really rachel i did notice a positive energy i guess you could call it or nods for both sides so it really doesn't surprise mw after several days of deliberation this is jury still can't reach a consensus there are five men. seven women, there's two lawyers on the jury panel too and it is interesting to see they've asked for some clarification on the law and jury instructions over last couple of days moving forward including justification self-defense, theory so it will be interesting on monday if they are, in fact, hung up on whether or not this was valid self-defense. that really wouldn't change if the count is lesser with criminal negligence on monday we'll have to wait and see. rachel: you are an attorney as well. what does it tell you the amount

of time -- that they've taken? the kinds of questions they have and clarifications they have for the judge does that bode well or bad for the -- >> that's a great question rachel. >> for the defense? >> you never know that's a great question i've been in a lot of courtrooms over the years and you always think if it is a quick vecialght it will be either a quick acquittal or a guilty not guilty verdict but here it over several days it doesn't really surprise me because it was a 20-plus day trial and it took a while to go through all of the evidence from both sides and sort it out and this jury being there are a couple of lawyers going to be technical they're asking for clarification on the law. they're going over the evidence the video evidence in this case. usually the longer it goes on you usually see what we saw yesterday which was a jury that can't reach a decision that leads to a mistrial or it could eventually after the judge gives them the alan charge they feel a little bit of pressure to reach a decision one way or the other.

rachel: my heart goes out for this young man and his family i'm a mom with boys disclose his age and we tell them to do the right hying to stand up for people who are, you know, victims potential victims and people in trouble. to be helpful -- to be a hero. and boy this mess the message coming out of this entire trial the fact that he was prosecuted at all -- is the opposite. i think this has more than legal implications i think this has very huge cultural implications safety implications for the people of new york. if this man is put in jail chanly i don't think anybody can ever expect a young man like that to stand up and do what's right for the women and children who are in damage. chanly great reporting. thank you. >> you've got it. rachel: trump making history yet again what the first ever crypto and a.i. czar is planning for

the tech industry but first here's brian kilmeade with what's coming up on one nation. >> i can not wait one nation among mike walz trying to assemble a new trump 2 team what's it like and mike taibbi he thinks journalism is dead and surprised with the twitter followers guy he is to say and one of the finalist comedians of the country part of a fox nation special but what does he think is funny you're about to find out only if you watch one nation.

president trump appointees he's not select academics or author he's choosing real world people they've done this ever be and rolled they're sleeves they've been in the trenches they are doers so from president trump it is clear he wants to deliver on preelection promises and make ugh the cryptocapitol of the planet when you look at david sachs in particular, he certainly is procrypto he's a capitalist he owns crypto he was one of the early investors in biggest a.i. players out there so it is very crystal clear that president trump mean what is he said and he wants to make us the biggest crypto player in the world. charlie: such a great point and trump you know in every arena, he separates -- surrounds himself by people who are these doers it is such a

terrific point. so what are some of the things that david sachs and donald trump are going to be doing in this area? >> well, look i think one of the biggest issues with crypto is nobody knows how much to regulate it should there be any regulation at all and i think from a -- stand point of having some clarity reducing uncertainty, that will certainly make it much more likely that you have more crypto bowls that bitcoin continues to climb higher. but then further more you look at the rest of the trump appointees and nominees whether it is scott bessent in the treasury and howard and fcc they're trying to make this a legitimate currency and all if at some point you see a company like amazon allowing people to buy goods with bitcoin, or with crypto overall the coin is going to go to the moon. it will go up substantially. so i think you'll see more use cases.

i think they'll have some clarity on regulation and both of those are going to be great for crypto. >> of course donald trump is first president to come along who embraced crypto like this why do most politicians think crypto is such a threat to them? >> well i think probably the biggest issue is i think there's dirty business happening with crypto right. you know whether it's -- drug deals or, you know, ransoms there's a lot of that. so that's i think that's kind of a black mark on crypto. but you know about when you look at the technology, the block chain technology, when you look at the ease of transfer, it is a legitimate currency and i believe that the people who are in place right now are certainly going to further legitimatize that and charlie i have to tell you some of the bullish calls out be bitcoin is a thousand up 50% sense the election. mike of galaxy digital of maybe a month or so ago he said that if trump is able to build a bitcoin reserve which he's

talked about -- it could go to 500,000 a coin. another research resource that i read bca research said it is beginning to 200,000 a coin and there's no qualification for a bitcoin reserve. so when you look at all of these people it seems like the cone is going to continue to climb higher. charlie: also i don't like it because they can't control it. mark tepper thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> best of women's basketball in one double header a preview of the first ever women champion classic on fox. plus -- rick is getting a little game in himself he's going christmas shopping at the fourth annual shop for the cop event. that's next.
