>> ainsley: that was todd. >> brian: i ripped my pants in times square. i dropped something literally my whole crotch fell to the ground i had to buy pants. >> steve: congratulations media has a new headline. >> brian: by the way i have pictures. >> ainsley: wait a minute. you walked around times square without your pants? >> brian: it was the day i went to see the saints premier. >> steve: brian, have you not heard your own advice get dressed? >> brian: i apologize. look out for your seams. >> ainsley: second hour of "fox & friends" begins right now and remember mornings are better with friends. ♪ jingle bell, jingle bell rock ♪ jingle swing and and jingle bells ring ♪ snowing and blowing are bushels of fun ♪ now the jingle bellhop has begun. >> lawrence: you are looking at the all-american christmas tree i can't believe two weeks. >> steve: less than. >> ainsley: our windows are tinted i can't. really see.

>> lawrence: we can see them they are all bundled up. >> brian: can you appreciate this more than anybody, steve, this has become a tourist attraction. used to be place you sit on the bench and read the zipper. >> steve: unrelated to his pants issue. >> ainsley: headlines go around. >> brian: last night they told me someone got a proposal the other night tuesday night. >> ainsley: in front of our free. >> brian: gates open up and people are coming from everywhere outside new york to come. >> steve: i walked over that way a couple of blocks and walked back the famous 30 rock tree and saw ours. both gigantic crowd magnets. i like ours a little better. just saying. >> brian: by the way if you are watching and one of those people who got proposed. it happened more than once. security is out there. it happens a lot. people want to come here because fox means so much in their lives if you. >> ainsley: write us. >> if you are the one or not or and tag us in your photos. we can see and get in touch with

you and maybe have you on. >> steve: that's right at "fox & friends." >> brian: should have thought of that yesterday. >> ainsley: friends@foxnews.com. >> steve: that's if you are emailing. can you just tag us in social media. meanwhile, something that happens every day at 9:30 not wedding bells but? >> a bell new york stock exchange bell is going to be rung today by donald trump. when you live in new york city. [opening bell] >> steve: that's the sound right there. >> brian: not a bell really. hit a button. >> steve: it is technically a bell. it is one of the most visible symbols of success in new york to ring the bell there he is as you can see almost 30 years ago when he was down at the stock exchange. it's going to be interesting. he does gauge success of his administration by the stock market. and, remember, when he was president the last time, the stock market went through the roof. and so far since he has been elected, it has done with up

considerably. my 401(k) is closer to a 601 k right now. >> brian: i will say this when they ask the american people and fox did a great poll to find out where we are at right now. what matters the most. really no surprise. but maybe the distance. number one, cutting costs. lowering prices. >> ainsley: 60%. >> brian: attacking inflation. >> ainsley: cutting taxes for individuals 47%. >> lawrence: something he campaigned on. other candidates were talking about all this other nonsense. he took the issue on whether it was the economy and then right after that, it was the border. and if you talk to the president, the number one way he is going to be able to do that is through energy. it's open open up the flood gates, drill, baby, drill. that's how we are. >> brian: bring the price of energy down. >> ainsley: because the moment joe biden, when he shut down the pipeline, the one, in particular, our energy prices started to go up immediately. >> steve: right. and the energy prices went up

with ukraine and all sorts of things. donald trump aims to turn that around. it's all part of the new polls @foxnews.com. they also asked people, and this was a really interesting question. it had to do with the president's incoming president's cabinet picks. and so, the question was, okay. imagine you are a u.s. senator. would you vote yes or no on these various candidates? you know who had the highest number of yes votes? >> ainsley: who? >> steve: r.f.k. jr. >> brian: but he also got the most nos. >> steve: r.f.k. jr. apparently, 48 percent said they would vote yes. marco rubio 46% yes. so,. >> brian: people have a very big opinions on him. it's like 48-46. or 42 is the disapprove. right? >> steve: i'm just talking about. that's -- we're talking about enthusiasm for the new president come in. when you look at those numbers.

according to foxnews.com. there's a lot of enthusiasm for r.f.k. >> ainsley: i think people are confident in what is going to happen in january. we have already seen him do it four years ago. and we saw where our economy was. it's a different feel i think in our country now. people are excited about it. more people coming together. you are talking to before when he won before, you talk to democrats, they were so angry, they couldn't believe it. and now it's more like all right. well, he won. i hope on day one he starts really helping with our food prices. that i'm hearing from some of my democratic friends that they are happy about what is he doing with the border. already calling mexico. already calling or talking to canada about shutting their borders. >> lawrence: he has been pretty calm as well. is he not trying to have animosity with anybody. the truth social posts have been very limited. >> ainsley: yeah. >> lawrence: he has been negotiating. >> brian: negotiating with christopher wray. >> brian: for the second time since he won. for the second time ever he is going to be the "time" man of

the year no. doubt about it. the biggest comeback expected to be. i'm going to be surprised when it happens in an hour. >> steve: "time" magazine. >> brian: doesn't mean you are the best person or significant person how can you not see the greatest comeback in history in american political history. >> steve: "time" magazine had suggested okay, these are the finalists. one of them was kamala harris and we get why he would beat her. but also, elon musk. >> ainsley: again. >> steve: benjamin netanyahu and princess of wales. so they did select donald trump. elon musk on the list. of course, elon and vivek ramaswamy are going to be running this unofficial kind of why sigh official department of government efficiency doge. all they are going to do is look for ways to save money with the federal government it does not

pavement will have to spending all day every day working on it. the "wall street journal" has a great article this morning people who currently have jobs willing to step away from their jobs like unpaid internship to volunteer for doge to help save america's budget. >> lawrence: just get a load of the requirement. i just love this. we need super high q small government revolutionaries willing to work 80-plus hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting and they don't get paid? >> ainsley: no they don't and work double what most people are doing. >> lawrence: i appreciate what they are doing no way. >> brian: they might get paid. they got to be able to pay. >> steve: they are not going to pay. >> ainsley: you couldn't do it because you have to pay your bills a lot of people out there maybe their spouse works. >> brian: here are example of some applicants. >> ainsley: james 26 years old. analyst for infrastructure manufacturing company. this is what he said to the "wall street journal."

i'm fervently prepared to invest countless days and sleepless nights to realize this vision. i believe america can achieve its full potential with doge leading the charge to rub shoulders with the people inside their orbit is absolutely priceless. >> brian: what about sandy, lawrence? >> lawrence: this is what she is saying my conservatism. my support of trump, those time of things i could not have done outwardly so if there is an opportunity shy was retired. this next person sarah armstrong electrical equipment company she said this: and a lot of people apparently feel this wait a minute i think this is such a unique way to serve the country and more importantly, the people. so, what they're going to do, apparently you can apply, you send a direct message on x that you would like to be considered. and so of all the people that the "wall street journal" spoke

to, nobody had been contacted yet. so, you got to figure they are just trying to figure out what they are going to do and how they will meet and stuff like that. but just imagine if you had the opportunity to save the government money which translates into -- the more money they save the less tax dollars they need out of our pockets. i get why people want to help. >> lawrence: i also think, brian, you don't need an official position to do this. they are taking recommendations via x. so say you see something in government that's corrupt or spending too much money on something message at elon take a look at this. i have done the graphs myself and put into action. >> brian: definitely need someone to roll up their sleeves. i get that most of all get people who have dealt with the government. dealt with outside. felt the frustration on the inside and outside. >> lawrence: got to be a believer. >> brian: deputy secretary of defense who is also a defense

contractor i would like that person if their mindset is great and not selfish and i imagine trump wouldn't allowed them to get this job. joe lonsdale would volunteer. is he going to play a role. you have elon musk why are they perfect? the way they are perfect they have talked to people on the inside. expressed the frustration i can't get anything going. i feel like there is so much bureaucracy here. they have also known that elon musk famously came in when barack obama said i want to prior advertise space travel and rocketing satellite stuff. he said okay. just give me a smaller budget and i will be more effective and quicker and the $7,000 hammer and $200,000 toilet seat are history. and if you are a billionaire that really wants to straighten out the country, republican or democrat. i don't even know what they are, this is the perfect spot for you you know what's fat and what isn't? >> >> steve: billionaires great at the top as leaders because they

have led people. you need the people like the people we just quoted somebody who worked in the insurance industry regulations so onerous on. these are the people who face the government regulations every day. we have heard some times i want to start a small business do something apply for a loan. i ran into red tape. i saw the problem with the federal government personally. these are my suggestions and they will submitted them. and see if they could result in some sort of cost savings. >> ainsley: how is it going to work? go through all of our laws? all of our bills that have been passed and cut out the pork. >> lawrence: it's a mix of both. >> ainsley: stupid things like the shrimp on the treadmill? >> brian: i was talking to democratic strategist yesterday. we have had the cost-cutting thing going back to al gore. people get selfish.

if boeing is in your city, in your state and they go yeah, listen, that contract is a little fat and slow look to fan it out. excuse me, you are not going to do that boeing is here and american airlines is there. subsidy is here. people get selfish. you need someone to make the hard decision. which is the whole reason for the having the veto with the president. i'm going to veto this in order to get this done. you need someone like elon musk to come in and say sorry. these big contracts aren't going to go here because i know for a fact you could do it cheaper to. lawrence. >> steve: here's the thing, brian. when it comes to and this was part of the story as well. heads of federal agencies can make some changes but eliminating an agency or making big budget cuts requires congress. so, everything they are going to do. everybody at doge, they are simply going to make a suggestion how could we

accomplish this. maybe stuff they could do with executive order. >> ainsley: we will be talking about it and every network get the government's attention and people's attention. >> steve: let's hope it works. >> ainsley: calling lawmakers get rid of this, this, and. this transparency is what it will provide us. >> brian: elon musk what ai can do to make social security more efficient not to cut your checks but to cut them quicker and more efficiently. identify dead people so we are not continuing to pay them which seems easy. >> lawrence: only democrat willing to work with this administration as a mayor. chicago resisting. l.a. resisting and it looks like tom homan has accepted the invitation from mayor adams to talk about what they are going to do once he takes office. >> brian: not asking for a lot. access to criminals. detainers honored. give ice a chance by the way i thought it was a great robert

holden, a democrat from queens, said if you want to show that mayor adams talk is great, but if you want to show that you are sincere, give -- set up the ice office at rikers again. because they closed it down because they don't want to let ice. >> ainsley: eric adams is considering getting rid of the sanctuary city status. >> steve: tom homan meeting with the mayor of new york monday night tom homan was at an event and he revealed. the deportation plan on a wide scale. you know what american city they are going to start in? they are going to start in chicago e was a guest monday night at holiday party for law and order pac. this is one of the quotes, according to cbs in chicago. tom homan said chicago is in trouble because your mayor sucks and your governor sucks. >> lawrence: it's true. >> steve: it's going to start in chicago right after the inauguration here the other

quote. if your mayor doesn't want to help, can he step aside. there is johnson right there if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien i will prosecute him tom homan is suggesting if the people in the sanctuary city impede the federal government is he going to press charges. >> lawrence: you can't harbor felons. >> steve: no. >> lawrence: there is already a federal statute. that's all they are saying, when we come to pick them up. they are already in custody or they are already in a certain community residents are upset get out of the way. >> brian: proof from the residence themselves. listen to them speaking out against their mayor. watch? marry brandon johnson you took an oath to uphold the constitution or took an oath only intended to fight for the 10th and 1st amendments fighting

for the illegal aliens. >> we don't want illegals in our community. we don't want migrants terrorizing our own people and have you all sit up here and we have to accept $70 million being given to them when you have got black people already struggling and need help it is a disgrace. >> brian: all people. we could have played 12 of these. the people agree with tom. >> steve: in that wide shot you could see that some people were wearing -- you could see red shirts. do you know what the red shirts said? chicago flips red. so essentially he is getting -- let me just finish this up. so essentially those people are showing up are suggesting okay, you don't listen to me, just remember, politics have consequences. and we could flip this town red, which would be rare. >> ainsley: i'm so grad this is their message finally, you have been to chicago how many times. gianno caldwell's brother was

killed there it's very dangerous already. the money needs to go to the residents. it doesn't need to go to the illegals. >> lawrence: ainsley, when i was there a few months ago, we're showing this now, but we covered this leading up to the election. >> ainsley: yeah. >> lawrence: they have shut down schools of kids and the community. they said they didn't have any money for it. >> ainsley: why did they do that to shut them down. >> lawrence: they shut them down. >> brian: airport. >> lawrence: they said we don't have any money to fund this school or community center. but then they reopened them. found the money magically for the illegals there. >> lawrence: do you remember when i was in there as well i was outside of one of the holding facility? there is drug bags all outside of the place where they clearly have some type of illegal substance there the residents have been crying out for a long time the mayor still giving the back hand. >> ainsley: why is the mayor not listening to the people. >> brian: do you know what is interesting is that the people he thinks he is representing, he is -- he doesn't understand he is going by an old playbook.

he thinks if i go for the bat for inner city america or for minorities in my city, i'm going to make the hard decision against the law enforcement. but, law enforcement and his people actually agree. he is the impediment. so is the denver mayor the impediment. denver is falling apart crushing under own weight. more illegals and immigrants than even new york city. all this mayor cares about i'm going to fight for my people. do you understand that your people are asking you to get out of the way. >> lawrence: he once agreed. he told us in the interview they're at this their breaking point. magically when donald trump is elected then he turns back to the same old thing. you can't just resist because it's trump. you got to do what your people are asking you to do. >> steve: chicago people are simply saying look, you are spending too much money on the migrants. do you know what i think the people of chicago would like? a department of government efficiency. they need a doge in chicago.

>> ainsley: do you know how long is he in office? >> lawrence: he just got there. >> brian: like three more years. two and a half years. also they are in the red. they are in the red. >> ainsley: got to get it right in chicago. they continue to elect these individuals that aren't common sense. >> steve: that's why tom homan is starting in chicago. >> brian: the crealz thing is he was second and had the run off he ended up winning. >> ainsley: chicago reminds me of new york. remember it was -- they were great cities. i still love new york. uranium know i love new york. but it's different. >> chicago is beautiful. >> chicago is a clean mini new york, i used to always say i love to go visit my college friends in chicago. now we are hearing all these stories, carley you know, carley used to live there. they had an apartment there and i will never forget the mass shooting that took place outside our old apartment in chicago just across. >> beautiful area drive by shooting. gas station a lot of people were closing down.

>> carley: innocent person was hit. that's a jarring reality for a lot of people that live in chicago. we do have more news to get get to, guys the family of 7-year-old girl in texas who was killed in a dui accident is demanding answers after it has been reported that the suspect is an illegal immigrant who was released by ice, if convicted the suspect could face anywhere between 2 to 20 years in prison. this comes as internal ice data reveals the nationalities of 1.4. migrants ordered to be deported including 37,000 people from china. 38,000 individuals from brazil. 32,000 people from haiti and 22,000 from venezuela fbi director christopher wray announcing he plans to step down from his post ahead of president-elect trump's inauguration. meanwhile trump's pick to replace him kash patels was on capitol hill meeting with senators yesterday. his team is going to be ready to hit the ground running.

>> resignation. >> we look forward to a very smooth transition at the fbi and i will be yesterday to go on day one. thank you. >> have you talked to president-elect trump? >> carley: patel vocal support from key g.o.p. lawmakers including house speaker mike johnson. so, do you want to be an influencer? well, some college classes are teaching students skills like this. >> you have had soy milk and almond milk try the hot east new craze it's like almond milk that's been squeezed through tiny holes in living cows. >> milk? >> no. >> now it's beef milk. the "new york post" reports influencer classes are growing in popularity among gen z students who believe they could make big money from content creation. one university of texas online 10,000 students from 1 170 couny

enrolled. a director of that u.n. partner program telling the hill it is one of the most successful courses. how about that, guys? so i actually thought this was like all right. how to sell milk and skincare. if it's a united nations program how do you feel about certain social issues and how do you feel about geopolitical. >> influencers supposed to believe what they're doing. they are not supposed to be commercial sales. kim kardashian really likes that scent. really likes those shoes. >> steve: kids spend so much time on their phone right not make money with it. >> ainsley: i know somebody who is an influencer, one store pace her a lot of money shy picks the items. >> brian: i don't like her. >> ainsley: you would like her. >> steve: meanwhile, number one story in the city drones. where are they coming from. we have a state legislator coming up.

italian. chanley painter. >> chanley: the evidence continues to stack up against 26-year-old gunning down brian thompson last week as police say he matched the gun in luigi mangione's possession to shell casings at the crime scene and his fingerprints were left behind, also. >> chanley: we were able to >> we were able to match that gun to the three we found at the scene of the homicide. we are also able at our crime lab to match the person of interest's fingerprints with fingerprints that we found on both the water bottle and the kind bar near the scene. >> chanley: mangione faces a second degree murder charge in new york. but the manhattan d.a. is indicating additional charges could soon be filed. andrew witty the united health

group ceo had this to say we owe it to brian to make good on our promise to make healthcare work better for everybody in every way. and this comes as senator elizabeth warren is making headlines for calling the targeted killing of the healthcare leader a warning. watch. >> violence is never the answer. this guy gets a trial, who is allegedly killed the ceo of united health. but you can only push people so far. and then they start to take matters into their own hands. >> and now police are investigating these wanted posters popping up across new york city, naming executives in the healthcare industry saying things like, quote: healthcare ceos should not feel safe. mangione remains behind bars without bail in pennsylvania where he is fighting extradition to new york. steve, over to you. >> steve: all right. chanley, thank you very much. meanwhile, let's go across the hudson river, new jersey governor phil murphy telling residents of the garden state, don't worry about the mysterious

drones by the hundreds flying over their homes, even though no one seems to know who is controlling them. >> i want folks out there to know we are not -- listen, you are frustrated, so are we. but based on everything and we are going to stay at it, i promise you, this is our top priority. but based on everything we know, we don't see any evidence of a risk to public safety. >> steve: how does he know? our next guest just left a department of homeland security briefing where the governor didn't even show up and is now asking the federal government to take action. especially since his district contains a natural and major national guard facility and coast guard base as well down the shore. new jersey state assemblyman paul can a nit that joins us now. you were there yesterday you went in and heard nothing. >> we were disappointed the governor wasn't there we are at the rock like straight out of the movie independence day. and if anything could bring republicans and democrats

together at this time, it was the anger at how little information we got and how apparent it became coming out of there and how vulnerable we are as a country. >> steve: in particular authorities are saying there is no known or credible threat. at the same time they also say and you were telling me during the commercial they revealed it's not us. it's not the federal government. it's not the state of new jersey. it's no known entity. >> so could you tell use the way they are positioning it. keep trying to diminish the situation. no known credible threat may as well be no known guarantee of safety. even with the most sophisticated equipment we have the dhs sent us we can't detect the frequency and we haven't downed any of them yet. really has us a month later. these started on november 18th. a month later we still don't know where they are coming from or why they are operating. >> steve: listen, whoever is operating them is breaking an

faa requirement. that is if you are going to fly a drone, you have to be line of sight. these things are going dozens of miles and nobody is keeping an eye on them. i know it's illegal to shoot one out of the sky, but if there are hundreds of them. just shoot one down. bring down one drone. actually you don't have to shoot it down. we have got the technology, bring one down and we will figure it out. >> these aren't just small little hobbyist drones. our state police sent up aircraft and hovering on top of one that was at least 6 feet in size. they come in over the coast in swarms of 50. shoot them out of the sky literally or figuratively shut down the g.p.s. force them to land. but we need to get our hands on one of these and determine it might not be a foreign adversary testing our defense capabilities and doing surveillance on us. >> steve: don't you think, paul, if the federal government said we don't know who is doing this, people would freak out? >> and that's why i think they continue to try and diminish the situation. because they are trying to keep

everybody calm. but the reality of the situation is they told us at the briefing yesterday, the state colonel, the state police who is doing an excellent job, mind you, despite the limitations that they have. this is a federal issue. they told us we would know if this wasn't us. if this was us. >> steve: just bring one down. just figure out. bring one down or maybe because there is so many maybe one will actually malfunction, somebody will find it out in an orchard. next thing you know reverse engineer it or great big company logo on it we will figure it o out: >> safely bring this down non-populated area and get our hands on one. >> steve: thank you for joining us live. meanwhile, super sanctuary status how one california city is going the extra mile to push back on donald trump's border agenda. come up. ♪

♪ >> brian: fox news alert right now. president biden granting the largest single day ability of clemency in modern history. brooke singman joins us with news. >> that's right. the white house announcing this news overnight. president biden commuting the sentence of roughly 1500 people. prison and placed on house arrest during the pandemic. also pardoning at least 39 more people. all of whom have been convicted of nonviolent crimes. the previous single day record for clemency was held by biden's old boss former president barack obama. but today's action is five times larger than that we had heard reports last week that the biden administration was considering issuing preemptive pardons for a handful of people like liz cheney, anthony fauci and adam schiff out of fear that the incoming trump administration could target them. but it' as none of those three names are part of this list. now, this also follows the president's controversial decision to pardons his son

hunter who faced sentencing this month for felony tax and gun convictions. white house lawyers say those pardons this morning had all been convicted of nonviolent crimes drug offenses and say they have sense turned their lives around, lawrence? >> we will be looking out for the rest of the list, thanks, brooke. today the incoming border czar tom homan is set to meet with the new york city mayor eric adams and will put sanctuary states and cities on notice. meanwhile on the west coast, san diego county is resisting trump's border plan and declaring themselves a super sanctuary. they will limit any cooperation with ice. san diego county district five supervisor jim desmond joins us now. so, jim, what's the deal here. why the resistance of criminal aliens? >> well, you know, this is just crazy. my colleagues voted to sever the direct access that our local law enforcement has for certain crimes. and these are the heinous crimes. this is rape, this is kidnapping. this is, you know, deadly force

and things like that. if we i someone is arrested for those crimes here in san diego county. local law enforcement has been able to turn them over to ice. well, my colleagues voted to block that. and so now, these people have more of a chance of getting out, getting back into our communities, and making our communities, particularly the immigrant communities, the ones they are trying to protect less safe. and so i was alone vote on that and this is just some going on in california. >> lawrence: unbelievable. this is not really a liberal or a conservative issue. just criminals protecting the residents here. this is what ice had to say about this. some jurisdictions have chosen to limit their cooperation with ice in recent years. unfortunately. these noncooperation policies often end up shielding dangerous criminals who victimize the same communities. so, essentially the people that they are saying they want to protect, they are actually

putting them in harm's way by keeping the violent offenders in their communities. >> you are absolutely right. and they are also saying that, you know, we are breaking up families. you always hear about that excuse. well, the person who committed the crime, the heinous crime, is the one that's breaking up the families. we're trying to protect the other families in the neighborhoods that they are going to be going back to, essentially. so, by blocking access to ice here in california, these are the same people that have voted in san diego county for a $5 million budget item that's going to pay for anybody that's being deported. out of -- to pay for their legal fees. so, you know, san diego, we are kind of the doormat of the border here. we got boats coming up on shore. we have been inundated with street dropoffs over 155,000. we want to keep our streets and our neighborhoods safe. and let's be able to turn over these hard criminals to ice.

>> ainsley: cute. >> steve: growing shortage of car mechanics and that is fueling concerns across the country. >> ainsley: this as a new report reveals the auto industry could see more than 67,000 open jobs per year. so joining us now to talk about it is mike rowe from mike rowe works foundation. he is the ceo. and we are so happy to have you on, mike some for other people. why is this? why don't people want to be mechanics honest answer 300 page book i can't get around to finishes. 10 years ago i sat on your set. 10 years ago this month. >> steve: you did. >> i said look. this conversation usually involves employers who are struggling to find people wanting to do the work and individuals who could benefit their lives by learning a skill that's in demand next decade going to expand to impact the 300 million or so people who depend on this part of our

workforce industrial base, 100,000 trade people. the automotive industry has their back again the wall in the same way. the reason is super complicated. but it has a lot to do with the stigmas and the stereotypes and the myths and the miss perceptions that surround opportunities in these careers. so at mike rowe works we have been at it 16 years now. award ethic scholarships a lot of great six-figure jobs that don't require a four year degree like the ones you are talking about. >> and mike, you know, you mentioned your degree and four years of college. early on indoctrinated going to be successful go to college. wind up graduating without a degree in something they can make money at. go into something like this. and you will learn your craft

and then you will be able to do it your entire life. and at the end of the day, you will have done a good job and gotten a good paycheck and enough people it is an honorable profession. >> sure, look. i mean, it's a great point. and ainsley -- i think a better answer to your question, ainsley, is that we have embraced the kind of cookie cutter approach to education and workforce in our country. we didn't do it on purpose. but it just happens. you know, we are talking a couple million people right now. and the temptation is to say something that applies to everyone equally. that's not the world we live in. there are many millions of parents with kids who simply aren't best served by pursuing a four year degree. it doesn't mean a four year degree is bad. it just means it's not for everybody. same is true with careers in automotive. we have to step back from the bromides and platitudes and try to take a more nuanced approach

where the opportunities actually are. >> ainsley: yeah. you are absolutely right. i can't believe they -- i didn't know 6-figure valeries. >> all day long. >> ainsley: don't have to own the shop? >> steve: just work for somebody. >> no. you just have to work. we're raising money every single day to train the next generation. steve, i know we have talked about it. we are auctioning off a one of a kind truck right now. and all the benefits come to my foundation. it's going to be a huge deal. barrett jackson is doing this thing. my buddies up at sugarcreek built this half a million dollars truck. there it is. we just unveiled it as seema. i don't know what it is going to sell for. they say seven figures. all the money goes recruiting efforts in the skill trades with an infamous toward the careers we are talking about here. it's a beast. >> if people want to bid, how do they do that? >> well, you get rich and then you come to barrett jackson's

auction in january. but you can go to my website now. there is so many ways to help out with this endeavor. mike rowe works.org and open 24/7. steve you never close. mike, thank you very much. if we don't see you before christmas, merry christmas. >> ainsley: merry christmas. >> merry christmas to you guys miss you. >> ainsley: you too. more "fox & friends" straight ahead. ♪

2,000 years ago, god sent an angel to a group of shepherds, and he brought them a message: "fear not, for behold, i bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be for all the people. for unto you is born this day in the city of david a savior, which is christ the lord." you see, god sent his son, jesus christ, from heaven to this earth to take our sins, to save us from our sins by taking our sins to a cross and shedding his blood, being buried, but on the third day, god raising his son to life. if you've never trusted jesus christ as your savior, you can do it right now, this christmas. do it right now, just pray this prayer. just say, "god, i'm a sinner, i'm sorry, forgive me. i believe that jesus is your son.

i believe that he took my sins to the cross, that he died in my place. he was buried, but you raised him to life. and i want to invite him to come into my heart and take control of my life, starting right now, in jesus' name, amen." if you prayed that prayer, call that number right now that's on the screen. merry christmas.
