it's the 9:00 a.m. hour of "fox & friends weekend" starting with this. worldwide celebrations underway as rebels take control of syria, how the u.s. is now responding. rachel: police on the hunt for the united healthcare ceo killer, new photos of the suspect and where he could be headed. will: notre dame rising from the ashes, holding the first mass in five yiers. years, how a triumphant trump makes the world stage return at the grand reopening. the final hour of "fox & friends weekend" starts right now. >> fox news alert, rebel forces have taken over syria overthrown the syrian dictator, who was

fled the city. celebrations have erupted across the world. will: israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu just reacting overnight, calling the collapse of the assad regime and tier any in damascus a historic day. rachel: president trump responded saying the u.s. will not get involved. alex hogan is live in tel aviv. >> we have madeleine rivera in washington for us. will: good morning, madeleine. >> reporter: good morning, people in syria are pouring out to the streets, celebrating the end of the assad family's rule. assad has fled damascus. his whereabouts are unknown. here's a spokesperson for the rebel groups. >> the city of damascus has been l liberated and the tyrant has been toppled and people have been released from the prisons. >> reporter: the country's prime minister says the government is

ready to turn over things to a transitional government. this comes as russia is focused on its war with ukraine. prpresident-elect trump believes the abandonment of assad led to the down fall. russia, russia, russia, led by vladimir putin was not interested in protecting him any longer. there was no reason for russia to be there in the first place. they lost all interest in syria because of ukraine and trump says he think the u.s. should have anything to do with the conflict in syria. a spokesperson said president biden and his team are closely monitoring the extraordinary events in syria and staying in constant touch with regional partners. jake sullivan says united states priorities are to make sure the fighting in syria won't lead to resurgence of isis, support allies in the region like israel and jordan and try to prevent a

humanitarian catastrophe. will: thank you, madeleine. rachel: thank you so much. will: earlier we had ryan morrow join us. the conversation is what happens after bashar al-assad. does it in the end make a desperate russia or iran action more likely, one thing we can be certain on, it gives an opportunity for extremist groups in syria. here's what ryan morow had to say about what comes next. >> the only alternative to in this particular scenario that we have, because the assad regime is basically gone, is to support groups like the syrian democratic forces which includes a christian component, allies with suni arabs and allies with kurds. they control most of the oil and gas. it seems like backing them seems the most obvious option. i don't think that we can take a position of not getting involved because we're already involved. we already have military forces

operating in syria. what the u.s. interest is going to be is going to be what it has been where we had special forces in there working with kurds, rebel force i mentioned before in protecting what it can of the oil and the gas and trying to keep down isis and stop them from reforming which is a possibility and i think that could expand to trying to counter hts and other jihadist rebels, you don't want them to get control of syria and resources either. rachel: you guys, this feels like deja vu. the united states, in this case the united states, turkey and israel, supporting financially different rebel groups in syria. we have 900 american troops on the ground. people celebrating that assad is gone but now the country is destabilized. we don't know if these groups are going to be better for american interests or not.

that guest we just had said definitely it will be better for israel because this -- assad was aligned with iran but is this better for the christian, the ancient christian minority populations who were somewhat protected under assad as they were unde under sadda saddam hu. a lot of them fled. they've been under attack and don't have the same standing in terms of civic society that they had when saddam hussein was in office or in power so it will be interesting to see how this turns out. hopefully, donald trump says we're going to be -- he doesn't want us to get involved but i don't know what that means because we are involved. >> you know, the entire history of the middle east, especially the past century in the middle east, has been a series of consequences of actions that got taken previously when somebody thought this was going to be the answer to everything, whether it was the iraq war or all the

destabilization that occurs ends up being as a result of usually good intentions or maybe not good intentions but it's -- but the problem is, in the past that powder keg has been something that winds up on our doorstep which is why we talked about this earlier, i think that the most important thing we can do, energy ed independence and a stg border gives america the strength and the ability to operate with our interests and be concerned about minority groups there, in particular, christians who have a -- will: it's hard to make sense of chaos, it's hard to thread a needle, see a path forward that imposes some liberal order in the region. and therefore, you say what do we do? and i think there's just a couple priority lists you go down. you say israel is an ally, want to make sure whatever happens there doesn't negatively impact

israel. we have 900 troops in syria, we want to make sure to protect those troops and serve american interests. but american interest has changed because for over 5 of 50years that included energy, te role the region plays in energy. with fracking and american energy independence, what happens there doesn't have to spill over to how it affects our everyday lives in america. rachel: that's a good point. a final point on this. we had a lot of people in power who think they understand the nuances in this region and what we've come to learn especially over the last, you know, 15, 20 years, is we don't know as much as we think we know in these regions and it's better for us to stop getting involved and toppling governments and having to clean up the messes after. will: donald trump made a trip to europe yesterday, went to notre dame, his first trip since winning office in november. there he met emanuel macron of

france and vladimir zelenskyy of ukraine. a fascinating moment of power, projected through a handshake. >> that's a hard handshake. hard power in a handshake. will: we broke the different power plays of handshakes earlier on the show. rachel: his hand was crushed, all the bones crushed. will: it's a new one in my book. it's not a quick grip where you grab a man's fingers quicker than he can make the grasp, making him subordinate to you. we did the pull-in. it's not the pull-in to get you off balance. this is a new one for me but -- rachel: men are so complicated, aren't they? >> we're so complicated. [laughter] rachel: or maybe simple. [laughter] rachel: more likely. but there were other power moves happening. i think donald trump going to paris and there's some footage out there on the internet, i said to our producers maybe we could air some of it, the way

donald trump arrived, already being greeted with a lot of deference and respect. i think that was a power move. there was another power move that i found really interesting in this. it's really important that donald trump, with what's happening in the middle east, trying to wind down the war that's been of no interest to america, between ukraine and russia, look at this video right here. this is donald trump making government officials, leaders of other countries wait while he shook the hand of all of these americans serving in france. this is him saying, you know, america first. this is a new attitude and i think it's the attitude that together with pete hegseth you're going to see putting american soldiers first, that message being sent in that, powerful stuff. >> he loves to do this on the campaign trail as well. it drives the secret service

bonkers, he'll pull over the motorcade. if sees firefighters or police officers, he'll get them to pull over and shake the hand of every one of them. secret service doesn't like that much. rachel: my father was a young soldier stationed overseas. the idea that the president says emanuel macron, zelenskyy, whose taken a lot of our money, you've got to wait because i need shake these hands. now to a fox news alert, the nypd releasing photos of the man accused of killing the united healthcare ceo as the manhunt stretches into the fifth day. this is after police divers scoured a central park pond yesterday searching for the suspect's gun. >> officers finding what is believed to be the man's backpack friday in central parked filled with his jacket and monopoly money. those items are being analyzed at a lab in queens.

will: meanwhile, new york city mayor eric adams says the net is tightening on the suspect and former fbi special agent jason pack agrees. he joined us earlier. >> having a thorough investigation like the nypd is doing, canvassing every aspect of central park there, seeing if there were witnesses not only forensic evidence but seeing if there are other people around with cameras, those types of things. all of these pieces will help tighten the net around the suspect no matter where he is. will: more money on any info on the son posed killer is up -- son posed killer is up to $50,000. wwas the weapon a veterinarian weapon designed for putting down animals on farms and ranches which are suppressed. the backpack, the facial recognition pictures. rachel: monopoly money, will. will: i don't know what's going on with that. rachel: that actually bolsters the theory that this was about a

disgruntled person who didn't maybe get their procedure or their surgery or medical bills covered by the insurance company. maybe that was a way of -- the monopoly money, maybe he meant to throw that on top of him on some time. >> most certainly has a message. rachel: it has some sort of message, right. >> we talked to paul morow in the last hour. he made a point, that could lead to charges of terrorism if the point was to inflict terror based on a political ideology or belief and don't forget, the bullet casings, i think there were a couple unspent bullets at the hilton that were collected that had messages written on them. rachel: that's right. will: it is a message. it's reflected in this weird wider, i don't know if i should call it ideology or sentiment. this is the new york magazine headline. the united health shooting was inevitable. they draw this sentiment which does exist online, you're starting to see people saying -- i don't know if they're

celebrating it but internet sleuths aren't looking for this guy the same way they do other true crime. this was an act of vengeance/justice, to that, mr. unpredictable, john fetterman jumped in. rachel: he said no shortage of takes on the 2024 election or the assassination, the public execution of an innocent man and father of two is indefenseable, cheering this on says more about you than the situation of health insurance. will: it's weird to see people turn, i don't know, this into some act of social justice. >> the point of the social come pact is you can -- compact is you cannot like insurance companies. i don't like insurance companies. but i can have my opinion. but it stays as an opinion. don't go beyond that. and you can say what you want to do but you can't do whatever you want to do and this -- all these hot takes that fetterman's talking about they're really disgusting.

rachel: no question. meanwhile, veterans who helped rescue americans from afghanistan after biden's botched withdrawal have spoken out in defense of pete hegseth. will: there's a new article out at the washington examiner, it has dozens of men, veterans, and men who helped pull americans and our allies out of afghanistan with the failure of our government so all of these guys who have stepped up in the place where our leadership has failed in the past are now coming together to say we want pete hegseth. rachel: yes. here's an example of that. this is chad robicaud and mark geist and lieutenant come coal fellwho you spoke with ear. >> he would be a phenomenon choice. he comes outside of the institution. our most vulnerable part of the national security is not the military, strategic capability.

we have the lowest morale in 30 years. >> he has more recent experience on the battlefield, closer to the troops, understands what the war fighter on the ground is feeling, needs, and what is best for the country. as chad said, i mean, we've got to address the issues of retention, of recruiting. >> this is a guy who stood up for the war fighter through the afghanistan abandonment. he was working the phones behind the scenes, helping his own interpreter get out, connecting and the role he played with the war fighter at a grass roots level is something i hope the senators will consider and i hope they'll listen to what the war fighters of the longest war in our nation's history are saying which is we need reform and change immediately. rachel: i was listening to the interview, thinking about the moment with donald trump where he shakes the hands of all the soldiers making leaders of the world wait while he did that and the message of help is on the way and the help includes pete hegseth. i was reminded this week,

listening to a podcast, they were referring to an article written by a liberal press. they talked to different people who served with pete hegseth and talked about how pete was willing to go first into buildings ahead of soldiers, how he was very confused by the double messages given to them about what they can't do, what they can do in terms of defending themselves and how he took a leadership role and how the soldiers respected him so much and they talked about that and -- will: i want to add to that. we know pete. rachel: he's never told me these stories. will: he told me. rachel: he's never told me. i think that's a sign of the humility he has. will: i met pete's master sergeant. you know you talk about an nco. pete comes in from princeton and he's got this ivy league education, rotc, comes in as an officer and the way it works of, i don't profess to be a military expert but there's a great amount of skepticism. you come in, those enlisted guys

and ncos are like who is this princeton guy going to come in and tell me how to fight a war. he came in, handled that perfectly. he did what you said. first guy over the wire, first guy through the door. rachel: yes. will: and earned that. i met these men. not just the ones that know pete that we talked about in the interview but those who served with him, who pulled triggers with pete and they really respect pete hegseth. rachel: i have one other thing to say. he met my father. my father came here on the anniversary of the air force. my father is a chief master sergeant. the kind of deference he has for enlisted master sergeant. he was an officer, pete hegseth. he respects enlisted men, enlisted men respect him. the deference showed for my father who was here as retired veteran of 33 30 years, retired

master sergeant, shows me he is someone who loves soldiers. that's what we talk about when we talk about changing the military. you see the disasters we're in across the world, so many times people making these decisions they have never had a stake in those wars that they send our men and women across and that is one of the things that i love most about pete hegseth is that gets it. gets it from the very bottom level and those enlisted men and women respect him for that. >> of course, it's what president trump recognizes about pete. rachel: clearly. >> several lawmakers calling on elon musk and vivek ramaswamy to cut federal spending, one of those lawmakers joins us next with her plan to ease the burden on taxpayers.

charlie: we have a fox news alert. our top store roy right now sto, worldwide celebrations after the ruler is toppled in syria. president trump making it clear america will not get involved. will: here with reaction, gop senator marsha blackburn. great to see you. good morning to you. >> good to see you. will: let's start with syria. it's such a puzzle.

rachel asked throughout the morning, we think it's great, we think america first positioning is the right ideologies and front foot. president trump said let it play out. we have 900 guys there and turkey's playing and iran's playing so all these different players including jihadists are playing, what do we do in syria? >> yes. what we have to realize is there are no good guys in this. these rebels are connected to al-qaida. we know iran is going to lose supply lines to hezbollah. we know that russia is losing access to a warm weather port and we need to make certain that we support israel. cheryl: are you concerned at all about -- the most important point is the point about russia. are you concerned about what they do next given the fact this is a pretty desperate situation for them. >> it is indeed.

and i think president trump and his statement were right on this. and you know, this is one of the reasons with the trump administration coming in, having strong leaders and people that know how to deal in global affairs, this is going to make such a difference because this administration, the biden administration has been given to appeasement and no one ever knew where the administration was going to come down on any given issue. president trump's statement today about this is accurate and correct and that should be the footing of the united states. rachel: you know, senator, there are a lot of people who say yes, we should support israel. they're our ally and that's a totally understandable point. sometimes, though e that's not always in the best interest of america and we need to look at things from america first. one of those people who said that is ron paul.

he's also talked about doge and foreign aid. as we look at all the expenses, i want to read this x post from ron paul and get your thoughts on it. here's an easy one for doge, eliminate foreign aid, taking money from the poor and middle class in the u.s. and giving it to the rich in poor countries. with a cut to the facilitate toorsin between. americans don't want their government to borrow more money to spend on foreign aid. what's your reaction to that and how do you think doge he will approach foreign aid in a trump administration? >> well, doge is something that is going to cause everyone to look at where the u.s. spends taxpayer dollars and rachel, we have to keep in mind, it is the taxpayer's money and it is a government of, by and for the people. that's why my doge acts that do the across the board spending

cuts, that freezes federal hiring and salaries and move agencies out of d.c. and move us to a merit based employ easies testimony, this is why -- employee system, this is why it's important for us to move forward on the doge abilities ae great work you seeing done by vivek on elon on those issue and bringing people with great ideas to the table. all ideas are welcome. rachel: is thereby partisan support for your -- is there bipartisan support for your act? >> there is bipartisan support. there's growing bipartisan support. i find it so interesting that people are saying we've got a great idea and we're hearing a lot of this when it comes to the pentagon and spending there. and you know, it's like the pentagon not being able to pass the last seven audits. they can't find $824 billion. i tell you what.

pete hegseth would say pencil to the paper, you're going to find this money before we give up on this. you're not going home until we do this job. will: well, senator marsha blackburn, we appreciate you being on with us this morning. thank you so much. rachel: thank you, senator. always great having you on. notre dame hosting its first mass in five years after it nearly burned to the ground. we break down the meaning behind the moment, next. of bringing textile manufacturing back to america. we're taking the best fibers our farm can produce, spinning it at one location, weaving it, then finally into a cut and sewn product. there's value in buying american made it has a real life impact up and down the supply chain. we want our customers to feel how special this product is, right when they open the box. go to redlandcotton.com and receive 20% off your order with code fox 20.

business of saving souls, the bells rang for 30 minutes before the mass began. it was a welcoming everyone to the first mass in more than five and-a-half years. a mass to celebrate the glory of god, a procession of clergy, bishops from around the world and one priest in each paris in the city. france's president was seated in the front row. it was to cons crate a newly designed altar. a lot of the interior parts used for mass were destroyed like the altar and lectern so in order to concecrate they rubbed oil and water, a lot of insense. pope francis declined to come, making sure know the other dame was the center -- notre dame was the center of attention.

the fire five and-a-half years ago was an unimaginable horror to the french people and the world but if there's a silver lining, it may havei ignited a new interest in the catholic church in france and also in the western world. this is the second sunday of advent and the season that welcomes -- that leads up to christmas and welcomes the birth of jesus. masses will take place all week long. the next mass is 63:30 this 6:3s evening. the tickets were free. they waited 25 minutes for the first week of mass. a lot of people want to enjoy the real meaning of this cathedral. back to you. rachel: lauren, thank you so much. here with us today to break down why this is so important, the significance of notre dame reopening is jonathan morris, a fox news contributor and a theologian. really breath-taking, seeing the

work that the reconstruction that was done on this cathedral, that took 200 years to build, 900 years old but also the mass being said and there might be a revitalization of catholicism, a real interest it. your thoughts. >> let's wait and see. i remember watching five years ago, as everyone watching today, watching the spire fall and watching the beautiful bells, just terrible. what happened afterwards, not many followed. there were a lot of proposals made to redesign the cay thee. cathedral,including secular app. when you walk into a gothic cathedral, whether cat rick, catholic,evangelical, no faith , your eyes naturally go up. rachel: for a reason. >> from a theological perspective it's to look up at

god. the french government actually owns the cathedral. rachel: not the catholic church. >> not the cat catholic church. there's a long history. there were proposals to bring it down to the level of the people so instead of walking into a gothic structure and looking up, you would be looking at each other. i am so happy that the french government together with the catholic church and many other christians from all over the world who donated to this, they were able to bring back the beauty of amazing medieval gothic structure. when this was built in the 12th and 13th century, it wasn't catholic. that was the church. it was christian dome who builtt this and invited people into the presence of god and it's back in a beautiful way. rachel: i love hearing the background on it. there has been sort of this idea of in catholic churches even,

ones that are built now, just don't have that same idea that same beauty and architecture. let's talk about christianity in europe which has been on the decline. i know you said let's wait and see but are there any springs of hope out there? >> the pendulum has to swing back. certainly the secularization of europe in the last 50 years and beyond, especially in france. rachel: because of the french revolution. >> the 18th century, the end of the 18th century. the last 50 years, a massive decline in church attendance in europe. we've experienced that in the united states in the last 20 years. in the end, either god exists or he doesn't exist. if he exists, god is bigger than all of this, pendulum swinging whether political or cultural and the human heart longs for meaning, long for purpose, and

if you're a christian believing person as i know you are and i am, the heart is going to find god and god isn't going anywhere. this is an example of that happening. rachel: beautiful mass being said today, the feast of the i'm immaculate conception, fitting for the first mass. truth and beauty go together. i look at the church, how breathtaking it is, i'm so glad we didn't modernize it. it was beautiful in the gothic form. thanks for giving us the back story and happy advent to you. financial ink sending gen z toward conservative policies. maria bartiromo has details on that coming up next. ♪

warmer than average. which is going to feel really good after this cold spell that we've had. what's it looks like the latter part of the coming weeks. we have a couple storms we're watching, storms across parts of the southeast. we've had snow in the northeaster, around the great lakes and now we've got the snow on the ground. it's going to start to melt. we had a big rainstorm. this is the snow that's in place, some spots over 4 feet. now we've got rain that is going to move in tonight into tomorrow, get ready for about a 3 to 4 day rainy spell. dryest of the days is tuesday. but look at what happens on wednesday, more rain comes back in. rapid snow melt along with the rain is going to cause the potential for quick flooding. charlie, send it t to you insid. charlie: thank you, rick. gen z raising eyebrows after a recent survey revealing the salary they consider financially successful. nearly $600,000 a year. that's roughly three to six times what any other age group said they need. in one article, they argue this

underlies a generational shift to the political right. here to react, sunday morning futures anchor, maria bartiromo. great to see you this morning, maria. maria: hey, charlie. charlie: looks like after years of being fed a lot of communism, young people are looking to, i don't know, trying to make some money. maria: yeah. i mean, look, when you consider this group that you're talking about, gen z, these are people born between 1997 and 2012. think about that timeframe. these people have seen financial crisis after crisis. i'm happy to say i've had a front row seat in all of the shifts in the economy over the last 30 years and have witnessed it myself because in 1997 that was the beginning of the dot-com boom. you had this dot-com boom where google and amazon were going public and that led to a dot-com bust so people were losing money left and right who bought into the dot-com boom. so you that. then you had a financial collapse in terms of the global story. you had a debt problem which was

triggered by a housing boom and bust. right? and then you had the presidencies of president obama, president trump and president biden and now trump is coming back, these people have seen crisis after crisis with their own money. now they're trying to understand what policies are going to actually help them get to stability, get them to help them buy a home, take out a mortgage, and they figured out that the policies coming from the right are actually the policies that would help them sustain long-term savings and wealth and that's what you're seeing. so then you're seeing president trump come in, talking about things like no tax on tips, no tax on social security, and they're thinking wait a minute, i need to get to some stability where i am not being killed by interest rates that are sucking up my wages, an inability to buy a home, and the fact that i'm getting taxed to death so that's why you're seeing the shift in gen z. i think it's really interesting as president trump comes back

into office. we're talking about this morning with tennessee senator bill haggerty who is looking at the agenda domestic and foreign for president trump and you know e there's a thinking going on right now that the senators are going in the new incoming 119th congress are going to focus on the border, followed by energy capacity, followed by defense. putting tax policy all the way at the end of 2025. i want to talk about this because i want to know why it is that we're waiting for the extension of the tax cuts to happen all the way at the end of 2025 after being promised we were going to sea-taces cuts extended early on. we'll talk to bill haggerty about that. we're talking about president trump's number one priority, securing the border, with tom homan. we're talking with the deputy head of policy with stephen miller and kevin mccarthy as well. remember, the house is now heading back to a very slim majority given the fact that a hand full of people are going

into the trump administration and you had a couple victories in california on the house in congress just in the last couple of weeks. then we'll talk about all of these pardons, the biden family pardon playbook, who is next. it's likely joe biden's brother, jim biden, but why is it that all of these new names are being floated around, liz clay any, adam schiff, what crimes did they commit to warrant wanting pardons from president biden. we're talking about that with miranda devine. we'll get into the finances and domestic agenda coming up. we're also talking about foreign policy with president trump back on the global stage. your thoughts on that gen z situation because they've seen crisis after crisis, charlie, am i right? charlie: yeah, i think without a doubt. they've been fed the best propaganda in the world and they realize communism doesn't work. maria: right, thank. .charlie: we'll be tuning in at 10:00 a.m. this morning.
