very clear. if joe biden begins to systemically use preemptive pardons for political purposes, really having nothing to do with uniting the country or the benefit of the country butes f joe biden does it for himself and his party, he must be impeached. i understand the difficulty ofh. doing that. i understand beingta convictednt ultimately in the senate that wd as the body of politics cannot tolerate what is truly an mobster/dictator on the way out the door. he's done enough damage to theo country and enough damage to the constitution.'s enough is enough! that is only tool, the only tool of the framers have provided us. i will see you next time >> carley: a fox news alert, u.s. launching airstrikes on

isis in syria. radical islamist group is in control of the kapital city damascus with trove of chemical weapons at their disposal. meanwhile, president-elect trump holds first sit-down interview since being re-elected and talks about the border crisis and giving democrats a chance to come to the table and make a deal. >> what are you going to do? >> work with democrats on a plan. we can come up with a plan. democrats have made it very difficult. >> carley: rapper jay-z responding to an allegation involving sean diddy combs. we'll have details. this is "fox and friends first," i'm carley shimkus. todd has the day off. madeleine rivera is in syria with reaction. good morning.

>> madeleine: good morning. president biden is looking at the situation in syria with cautious optimism. >> it is a moment of historic opportunity, long-suffering people of syria to build a better future for their country. for years, backers of syria have been iran and russia, their support collapsed, all three are far weaker today than when i took office. >> madeleine: you heard the president taking some credit for toppling of st. al-assad. the president says the u.s. will engage with different syrian groups. some rebels have ties of terrorism. officials said they need to make sure no resurgence of isis.

yftz u.s. launched strikes on 75 targets in syria. there should be no doubt, we will not allow isis to take advantage of current situation in syria. u.s. has another priority, securing chemical weapons possessed by the al-assad government. biden said they have no intention intervening militarily. and trump says u.s. should stay out of the fight in syria and he believes russia abandonment of al-assad led to his downfall. it is time to negotiate a ceasefire. >> carley: bring in research fellow at foundation for defense of democracy. good morning, thank you for joining us. this rebel group that has taken over is a terrorist organization

with links to al qaeda. how does this news out of the middle east impact us at home? >> good morning, carley. what we saw the president, the chief of this organization, coming on an interview and promising he's changed and regretting what he's done in the past saying he was too young and immaure too. he almost said all the right things, we can't judge the words we have to judge by deeds. i don't see alarming signs for us here at home, we never know what happens, we are still too early on and things are changing at rapid pace at this point. >> carley: yesterday u.s. launched airstrikes in syria, message being don't think about using this crisis and turmoil as an opportunity. when it comes to isis, where are we right now? >> the fact we have targets and

we have not taken them out, we've been monitoring them, they have been trying to come back, we still have them on the radar, we are still focused on isis. i don't see them coming back as they did in the summer of 2014. they are certainly a threat and with new islamist group in damascus, they might think this is good opportunity to come back and start doing whatever they were doing 10 years ago. >> carley: you heard president biden say this happened because iran and russia has been weakened, should biden administration take credit for toppling of al-assad in that

way? >> i wouldn't say they should, most stretches that got us here, mainly fight israel launched against the proxies of iran, hezbollah and lebanon and hamas and gaza. administration has not been ass supportive and always called on deescalation and bandaid solution and that is part of the world. the israelis thankfully did not listen and went after iran and its proxies. i couldn't say they should be taking credit for what is happening now. >> carley: "new york times" reporting israeli ground forces acrossed into syria for first time since 1973, what is the significance of that and what doeses it mean for israel? >> israeli poster tells us

israelis are not om optimistic, they are nervous. they gave up on the deal with the syrian government and shows they do not think what is in damascus is not similar to the agreement of 1973 and 1974. israelis are taking precautions and act acting independently. there are no signs things are bad at the border yet, it is good to act president trump preempively. >> carley: he's been given asylum there and seems like fall of al-assad happens very slowly and all of a sudden. thank you so much for joining us and helping us understand all this as it unfolds, we

appreciate you very much. turmoil continues in syria, we have update on one missing jou journalist, austin tyse. u.s. the government now believes he is alive. >> what does the u.s. know about austin tyse? >> we believe he's alive, we think we can get him back, we have no direct evidence of that and al-assad should be held accountable. >> carley: fbi offering award up to 1 million dollars leading to his safe recovery. his mothers there is information that her son is still alive. we pray that is true. fox news alert. lara trump announcing she will step down as co-chair of republican national committee saying at the rnc, we had three goals, surpass fundraising

deportations. >> you have to do it. it is a very tough thing to do. you have to have unity, rules, regulations and laws, they came in illegally. we're starting with the criminals, we have to do it. we will start with others and see how it goes. >> carley: jonathan fahey, former federal prosecutor and director of ice join us. we plans to deport everyone here illegally, not just criminals and it tough to do. how does he accomplish that goal? >> what he has to first do, he said he'll focus on criminals and according to a letter from ice sent back in august, we have

like i think 560's,000 people here, convicted criminals that are illegal aliens, some in jail, some are not. he needs to focus on them first and look at sanctuary cities to gets them to cooperate. go after criminals, that will keep ice busy for quite sometime and stop people from coming in, other important point. if we stop people coming in, it is easier to kick people out, resources can be diverted to removing people and it is a realistic goal to get criminals out and large number of peep toll go out the at some time. they may focus on incentivizing people to self-deport and encourage peep toll violate

laws, maybe financial incentives to get them to self-deport or say you will never have chance to immigrate here legally if you don't self-deport. a lot of things are on the table. >> carley: issue of dream ers cape up, here is president-elect trump. >> we are going to do something about -- >> what are you going to do? >> work with democrats on a plan, come up with a plan. democrats have made it very difficult to do anything. republicans are very open to dreamers. >> you promised to end birth right citizenship, is that your plan? >> absolutely. >> carley: you could talk about that, when it comes to dreamers, he says he wants them to stay here. sounds like he could use them as parg bargaining chip. what do you think about that and

your thought on ending birth right shnship, is that possible? >> first question, it should be a bargaining chip. his first administration, he was willing to work with democrats, they were not. let's codify remain in mexico and build the wall, you agree to that and we'll agree on the dreamers and give them a path to citizenship. democrats have to be willing to give a little and surprising they won't on things like sanctuary cities and remain in mexico and other types of things. that can be done. on birth right citizenship, this is interesting and senator mike lee pushes this. this comes from 14th amendment, which says anyone naturalized citizen under jurisdiction of the united states and point is

to define who was a citizen when slaves were being made citizens because they had previously not been citizens. had 234g to do with immigration. it is worth testing and sends message, you will not come here illegally and there will not be benefits. people thinking they have a child and can stay, this will be a deterrent. it would get sorted by courts and get clarity what 14th amendment means. senator lee think -- >> carley: okay, so >> both would be deterrent and serve a purpose if he pursues it. >> carley: drones have been spotted along the east coast. it started in bedminster, now

new jersey and statten island, drones as big as cars and we don't know where they are coming from, is this being met with ur urgenty it deserves? >> i don't know, when you hear media report and governor of new jersey, it seems like they are not particularly concerned, which might be a good thing, it might suggest these are government drones. if not, i'm concerned, they are the size of a car. what are chance these could be united states military, let's hope. if they are the first, you think they would shut this undo. to have a drone over 250 milligrams or grams or something, you have to register with faa and other restrictions.

it is concerning you are getting mixed message from the government and new jersey saying nothing to worry about. but they wants tips. there is a disconnect. if it is government, they are not talking to each other. >> carley: it is a wild story. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. happy monday. senior meteorologist janice dean has the forecast. hello. >> janice: rainy weather across eastern third of the country, which is good for areas that have been parched, really dry, especially across the northeast over last few months. area of low pressure across upper midthe west, snow for that area. rests of the eastern third dealing with mainly rain, could see snow for northern new eng

ceo and hopped on a bike and rode to central park and dropped his backpack and got into a taxi. rob domico joins me now. the good morning. do you think police are going to find this guy? if so, when? >> i think they will find him, eventually everyone gets caught, so to speak. we thought this was a crime of passion. now that we're looking at video and other information that we got, it seems he has good planning switching from bicycle to taxi, dumping his backpack and going to port authority. it is assumed he went through port authority. he had this well planned out and may have gone tz ground.

i think he got out of the immediate area. he knew police would figure out who he was and i think it will start prolonging the manhunt for him. >> carley: we basically know what his face looks like, are you surprised a family member, former classmate, neighbor, hasn't spoken out and said i know this guy. >> i find it surprising, they have may have done that to the police and the police may have a name. it may have happened, normally when it does, you get media leakage it has. i am surprised. his immediate family members, if a crime of passion and he did this based on a loved one dying, they may be more understanding of his plight.

i think we will find out who this is shortly. >> carley: his backpack found in central park, a jacket and monopoly money, maybe the money was way to say unitedhealthcare has monopoly over health insurance. going wild on social media. do strange revelations and details help police finding who this person is or impact this investigation at all? >> not sure if it helps. him write those words on the shell casings, pointing to the book from 2010 does message his motives. some people think it is way to throw police off. if he did throw police off and

kill him for another reason, there is more than we understand. monopoly money, i've heard it is monopoly, there may be very benign reason on monopoly money, i have not determined if that is connected or trying to say something. i don't know what monopoly money would do to further the investigation as another piece of evident. >> carley: we hope his killer is found soon. thank you, we appreciate it. rapper jay-z is responding to allegations tied to the investigation of sean diddy combs, we'll break down the details and his response with a criminal defense attorney coming up next. some things should stand the test of time. long-lasting eylea hd

billion, why are we subsidizing these countries? we are subsidizing mexico and canada and many countries all over the world, i want to have a level, fast, but fair playing field. >> carley: cheryl casone from fox business is here with more. what did we learn yesterday, cheryl? >> cheryl: much of the same we expect to see, he is serious with tariffs, about the border and will probably leave jerome powell alone. axios makes point trump would spike inflation, which is something american voters said they did not want to see more of. national retail federation says 60% tariff on china could cost $624 a year for american hours

holds. full tariff plan would put middle income households in the hole. tariffs are threats and he's using for political threat with canada and mexico, china is a different story. w "wall street journal" wrote protection and pain. they are talking about, i won't get into the weeds of this, there is diminimus tariff exemption. the chinese company, temu and shein, have used this exemption to get african american the tariff situation, they are using mexico more. we shall see. other side of this interview yesterday was issue of jerome powell, will he leave jerome

powell in his job? here is what he said. >> no, i don't think so, i don't see it. i think if i told him to, he would. >> you don't have plans to right now? >> i don't. >> cheryl: donald trump put jerome powell in fed chair position, his term expires in 2026. he said he wants him to do the right thing, talking about lowering interest rates further. mortgage rates have not fallen, even though interest rates have, big piece of the economy struggling. >> carley: sure that perked up jerome powell's ears, tell me more, do i have a job, when it comes to inflation, donald trump said he did have tariffs on many countries during his first term in office and inflation did not

rise. is that true? >> cheryl: well, it rose slightly under trump administration, nothing out of the ordinary like with biden with the cpi we got. it depends how they are written, that is the executive order we are expecting. justin trudea already went to mar-a-lago, canada is not excited and neither is mexico. depends what the leaders do. tariffs can be effective negotiating tools. >> carley: they can, i don't think trudea wants canada to be the 51st state, even though trump floated that idea out there. cheryl, thank you. did you hear this? rapper jay-z is being accused of

raping a 13-year-old girl with sean diddy combs during an mtv after party in the year 2000. the rapper issued statement ands directed his comments at attorney tony buzbee. i'm a young man who made it out of the project of brooklyn, we don't play these games, we have strict code and honor, we protect children. i look forward to showing you how different i am. criminal defense attorney lexie rigden joins me now. jay-z said this was a civil suit filed again him. he says i implore you to file a criminal coms mrant saying if i did these things, treat me the way i should be treated.

how should we think about all of this? what do you think? >> that is some denial from him. sometimes celebrities will not comment. i admire strength of the denial. there is no objective reliability to this complaint. things will play out and we'll learn more. look on its face, it is a 24-year-old complaint. he was not named in the lawsuit when it was filed. the girl was allegedly 13 when it happened. it said she had been given something and she was woozy, this need to be looked at in measured way unlike media is treating some people. pete hegseth being one of them, unlike they hear an allegation and run with it, this need to be treated in a measured type of way. anybody can make allegations

against somebody and people who are rich and famous are targets. i think it needs to play out and give the benefit of the doubt at this point. >> carley: this was filed in october and we are just learning about it now, tony buzbee responded by writing this. i sent the letter on her behalf, we will let the filing speak for itself and litigate in court, not the media. a spokesman from new york, declined to comment on whether the office is pursuing this case. what happens next? >> who knows what will happen with that. we don't know if feds will look into this. they may well be. there are people further looking

into diddy and looking into people he's associated with himself. this may be beyond statute of limitation. i can't imagine there is enough evidence bringing something. somebody's accuser saying somebody happened 24 years ago the without more evidence, remains to be seen. >> carley: jury deliberation in daniel penny case set to resume today after judge dismissed second degree manslaughter charge. jury is asks to consider criminally negligent homicide, which carries four-year criminal sentence. should daniel penny be worried about being found guilty of it? >> criminally negligent

homehom homicideicide is he did not act as reasonable person. the verdict form says for count one, manslaughter, if you find him not guilty, then you move to criminally negligent homicide. there was no finding of guilt or any acquittal. they were deadlocked and couldn't reach a conclusion, the judge made them go back and keep deliberating and the state decided to say dismiss this count, that is not how they were charged. it is very inappropriate what happened herzog, his attorneys remember outraged. this is unfortunate. i'm concerned there wasn't just a not guilty, so there are hold outs on the jury that believe

his conduct for manslaughter had risen to level of recklessness and negligence, i don't know. there is a charn he could be, probably more so it is a hung jury. >> carley: thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. lawrence jones has a look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> lawrence: hi, carley, how you doing? >> carley: how you feeling? >> lawrence: we will make it through this monday. coming up, fox news alert, u.s. launches airstrikes on isis in syria, while president biden declares historic opportunity. trump urged not to get involved. senator tom cotton on al- al-assad's -- and drones still

society. it's not a joke when a husband and a father of two children is murdered on street captured for the world to see. unfortunately this incap late the world view of the far left. run a company and form an industry that is not to your liking, apparently you deserve to die. this is not a punch line it. should not be glorified because you are going to have now copy cats go after other ceos of other healthcare companies. at a point where other healthcare companies are taken down their leadership pages on their websites because they're feared such horrible reflex of where we are at this point. we shouldn't be joking about this any way, shape and form i guess what snl was trying to do whole bowl of wrong to make it a punch line. >> carley: spoke to somebody who used to work security for him said that he was just one of the nicest guys and always told his

previous security detail to stay safe. it's a huge tragedy all around. i hope that his family didn't see that from snl over the weekend. we also want to ask you about this. the internet going wild over joe biden and president-elect trump being seated right next to each other having seemingly friendly reaction toe reopening of the notre dame cathedral in paris over the weekend. and donald trump posted this picture on social media to promote did you know he has a new cologne and fragrance line and the tagline is the fragrance your enemies can't resist. what do you think about this, joe? >> well, as a guy who used car if you remember that in jersey back in the 90's, carley. that is how i got my wife. i war jacar cologne. >> carley: ooo. >> joe: not actually. did i not ask leaving her

husband doug emhoff only to leave him for donald trump. who would think that the guy called hitler would be flirted with. i wish my wife would look at me. it's the people of the century and the fact that joe biden war maga red on election day before she voted. maybe that was not an accident. i don't know, just throwing it out there. >> she said horrible things about donald trump on the campaign trail to see this picture and the friendly interaction very unique turn of events. this cologne is going to sell a lot over christmas. stocking stuffers with this cologne in it for all the dad and men in your life. >> joe: that's a christmas card right there. the next president is going to throw out there. >> carley: social media is always weighing in on trump's hand shake with emmanuel macron during meeting in france. one on social media president trump manhandled emmanuel macron

one of the most dominating hand shakes. president trump is back to come to nalgt world bleerdz hand shake. that zone is going to need a hand ha sage after trump did twisting. will hilarious happened twice and you know macron was told to prepare and probably practiced and still got dominated referring to previous times that they met and little bit of hand shake scramble. that was done i'm sure purposefully. what do you think so about this moment getting an upper hand on emmanuel macron. >> not just macron in this case. but, also on joe biden. right? bore where was the president? shouldn't he be in france for the reopening in notre dame? that wonderful can a cathedral on the river senne, there is donald trump acting like the sitting president because he pretty much is at this point. is he negotiating with mexico and canada for tariffs as far as

cuter our border. there he is with the french president and joe biden is nowhere to be found leadership is back in country. >> carley: were you surprised he held a trilateral with macron and the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy? we have been 30 seconds before we head over to "fox & friends." >> joe: don't wait until januar. i'm running the country at this point. able he wants to get into office as quickly as possible to change things as quickly as possible. >> carley: four previous years. relationships already formed. he wants to hit the ground running. joe, thank you so much for joining us. have great day and watching right now "fox & friends" starts right now.
