it's wonderful that what your dad did will be honored tomorrow. a solid season as well. what's your prediction? >> go army, beat navy. >> carley: that's a good prediction. that's all you will say. usually the president attends the game. i'm sure he will be there. maybe president-elect trump will show up too. who knows. george luz jr. thank you very much for joining us. have a great day. >> thank you, carley. >> carley: you are welcome. called america's game for a reason so much bipartisan and sides pinned against each other now but who are you going to rout for in this game. >> one of my friends sent me the navy hype up video hilarious. look it up on youtube. army-navy watch that right now. ♪

>> steve: it is 6:00 here in new york city. i don't know which is the worst number. it is currently 23 degrees in new york. >> lawrence: i feel it. >> steve: also friday the 13th. >> ainsley: oh! >> steve: that got a reaction welcome. >> ainsley: i'm usually not superstitious. >> steve: welcome to "fox & friends" december 1st, 2024. mysterious drones flying over connecticut and even the west coast. what are those things? >> ainsley: plus, the accuser at the center of the infamous duke rape case years ago now admits she made it all up. >> brian: next, new york city mayor eric adams finding common ground with trump's new border czar tom homan. he joins us on the couch after yesterday's big meeting. >> lawrence: "fox & friends" starts right now.

>> brian: yep. >> steve: all right. a fox news alert. we got new video in that shows mysterious drones they are believed to be over the skies across the northeast, including now, connecticut. >> brian: all right. and there are new reports of drones over parts of southern california. >> ainsley: but, as americans search for answers, the white house is dismissing concerns, calling them a lawfully operated manned aircraft. >> brian: that's a little different. >> lawrence: madeleine rivera joins us now. >> madeleine: u.s. officials are quick to say the reported drones do not have any malicious intent even as they admit they can't say definitively what the sightings are. >> jacqui: can you make that make more sense? because i think people in new york and new jersey see drones the size of an suv over their house every night and think that doesn't make any sense. >> certainly i understand why people would be looking at this and be concerned about it. we are concerned about it, too. which is why we have the department of homeland security

and fbi my goodness taking a look at this. and we are seriously. we understand why people are concerned. we understand they have got questions. >> madeleine: people from coast to coast say they are seeing drones in san diego county and southern california spotted floating red orbs. camp penaltyton they are away there was drone activity in the area but add it did not effect military training or operations last night a woman shot this video over the train station in fairfield, connecticut. in new jersey, monmouth county police released this heat map of reported drone sightings from the last few days. they cover a chunk of the central part of the state. lawmakers are so far not satisfied with the federal response. they have got public safety and national security concerns worried about the possibility of adversaries gathering information. one u.s. senator is calling for action. >> we should be doing some very

urgent intelligence analysis and take them out of the skies, especially if they are flying over airports or military bases. they should be shot down, if necessary. >> the fbi and dhs say the drone sightings do not have a foreign origin a lot of the sightings are actually manned aircraft they admit they are still very early on in their investigation. lawrence, ainsley steve and brian. >> steve: madeleine, we are right back where we started we don't know what that stuff is out there. >> that's why so many lawmakers are frustrate. new jersey, california, they are frustrated as well. and interesting, i thought, that national security council spokesperson john kirby says so far the government does not have their own imagery of the drone sightings. what they are analyzing essentially are the cell phone videos there are so many gaps here that a lot of folks want answers, disangeddably so. >> steve: freaking people out.

>> brian: a lot of people looking up bumping into each other. >> ainsley: somebody who works with us says her neighbor saw one over his car when he was driving and it was as big as the a truck. huge, massive. >> brian: i talked to one of our drone operators yesterday. you have to get licenses to do that if you see a drone, the drone as big of a truck, it needs to go off a runway and that's fixed wing. that's different. and some of this video is manned video. shooting everything. if you look near an airport, newark, for example. i think we might be getting a little confused because no one gives us answers. >> lawrence: always know when the white house has gotten themselves in a pickle because they send the person the chief spinster john kirby. >> brian: because a woman is someone who is single. >> ainsley: you mean spin the story. >> steve: spin meister or master not spinster.

>> lawrence: he is crafty in this way but you can't spin this story. when he is asked about it he goes we have confirmed the origin that there is no dangerous origin. so they know what the origin is? so why not just tell us. it goes back to the point i have been making from the very beginning. they know exactly where these drones are coming from. >> brian: you think so? >> lawrence: they don't want to tell us who it is. is it a foreign actor? >> if they are older we can handle it. >> steve: we don't know. there is speculation. there is no doubt that once this story started a lot of people started looking up in the sky and saw something and they thought, you know what? that's a drone. a lot of them probably are airplanes. but there are other things that simply cannot be explained at this point. i mean, people who are familiar with drones say that appears to a drone in ocean county in new jersey where i live of the sheriff's office has beenousing their own drones to try to

figure out where they are coming from. and apparently, as soon as the drone, their drone, the sheriff drone gets near the incoming drone, that drone turns off the lights. so, there is some mystery about what is that stuff? >> ainsley: john kirby says that basically they don't know if these are real because he says they haven't been able to corroborate the reported sight. says there is no evidence that the drones pose a threat. if they don't know anything about the drones. how do they know that they don't pose a threat? these are the same people who lied to us about joe's cognitive decline, about the border. about inflation. about the chinese spy balloon. so, should we trust them now? >> or do you trust the spinster? [laughter] >> brian: i see a message in our notes from governor murphy. okay, got to the bottom of this. today i spoke with the hhs adviser lynn sherwood-randall to discuss my concerns. okay. get to the point. recent -- all right, great.

i will continue to press for more answers. if you have nothing to say. >> lawrence: just don't talk. >> brian: don't say anything. don't feel satisfied when they don't give you any answers. i had great conversation. came up with nothing. >> steve: i love that soundbite madeleine rivera said from blumenthal. we should shoot one down. the problem is if it's an actual airplane there could be people on board. >> brian: i was doing an interview with my home radio affiliate they say if we see one here they will be shot down. >> lawrence: i told you, let one of these drones come through the south. it's just a way of life. even. >> steve: maybe that's why they are not flying down there. >> lawrence: even the texas department of public safety have to let the ranchers know. hey, just so you know we have drones above your property so the we can track illegals. >> brian: don't even let new yorkers have guns. >> ainsley: we're going to have a huge drone about the size of what people are seeing just to

show you how big they are and show you how they operate coming up later in the show. >> steve: meanwhile the incoming president of the united states spent quality time with harold daggett and dennis daggett as well. remember, okay, so that was yesterday at mar-a-lago, i believe daggett represents long shore workers remember they were going to go on strike before the election and screw up kamala harris' path to victory. >> brian: she was doing that herself. >> steve: they only did a three-day strike. you know what? we will delay it until january 15th. >> well now, with this new deadline coming, january 15th is just a couple of days before donald trump takes office. and the last thing he needs is a supply chain bottleneck at the east coast and gulf ports. so it sounds like and it's pretty clear donald trump is now on the side of the union,

completely. >> ainsley: part of what he wrote is i studied automation and know just about everything there is to know about it. the amount of money saved this so where near the descrerks hurt and harm it causes for american workers in this case our longshoremen. i was thinking about this. wherever you work, when you tell your boss what you need and your boss gives you that, whatever you have requested, to make your life easier or to bring more money home, then it's always nice when your boss listens to you. that's what he's doing. donald trump is the boss. is he listening to the workers. this is how glenn youngkin won in virginia. is he listening to the people. the people who work so hard and tirelessly to get our christmas presents to our front doors. working on these ports. and he is listening to them and saying, look, i don't want you to be distressed yes, maybe they will make more money if there is automation. if it puts you out of work i care but, the american person. >> lawrence: he definitely has their spirit. he stands with them. he definitely wants to make sure

that more jobs are moved and more manufacturing is moved here in the country. and i think it's going to benefit them. i would say don't overplay your hand because he is still a businessman. some of the things they have been asking for in that past deal is ridiculous. just ridiculous. >> steve: they wanted 77%. >> lawrence: the raise that they wanted and then on top of that saying no automation as well. you can't have it both ways. >> brian: right. remember this whole thing when the president, harold daggett who is an interesting character in his own right of long shoreman union showed up to talk about his position -- this was october 1st. >> never gave a [bleep] about us until now when they finally realized that the chain is being broke now. cars won't come in. food won't come in. clothing won't come in. you know how many people depend on our jobs? half the world. >> it's time for them and time for washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of

us. because we took care of them and we are here 135 years and brought them where they are today and they don't want to share! >> brian: remember marlon brando was a long shoreman. >> steve: that was a movie on the waterfront. >> brian: on efficiency, if it's not significant, keep the jobs. but never industry you have to move it forward with progress because it does create other jobs, too, with a different skill set. it doesn't have to be tomorrow. but you would like to know that we were not living in the 1970s in order to placate a union although i'm very cognizant and sympathetic towards people losing their jobs. i would like to know where the world of automation comes in and efficiency as it goes with the job and progress. because you can't stop it. you can't stop it in our jobs and you can't stop it here. >> steve: well, it is very unusual for a republican to be supporting the unions. and but, you know, to your pointed, he worries about the workers. he was worried about everybody,

donald trump is. but, at the same time, they wanted 77% pay raises, they took 62%. that runs outs at the end of the contract or this extension on january 15th. the big question is what is fair if donald trump brought in elon musk the king of efficiency and automation and talked to harold, i think they're going to come at it from different angles, elon musk could say you should automate, you guys will come off boats faster. >> ainsley: shows you the importance of donald trump's voice and opinion. because when you talk to the ports out in california, remember, during this time they were saying we have automated. we didn't lose any money or workers. it actually helped be more efficient. and so we had more money to give to our employees, but then you talk to the union, the daggett, they say no, that's not the case. so i was like who do you believe? what's right? donald trump says don't auto mace okay, then maybe you listen

to him. >> brian: i think you are right. study it. a halfway point. here's the other thing. donald trump lost to joe biden by 16 points with union workers. he lost to kamala harris by 9. republicans have never had these type of gains. is he cognizant of that. number one the same thing he has when it comes to war. he sees children stop. this that's what act in syria. he sees jobs. meets the people looks in the eye. i care about you. so, he's actually in real life the exact opposite of the way he has been portrayed most of the last 8 years. and he sees the human element more than anyone. >> steve: well, if they don't automate with this contract, you know, we're going to be in the same boat three or four years from now. >> brian: robots. >> ainsley: remember when hillary was shutting down the pipeline or coal industry and the guy pushes the picture of his family in front of her this is who it is going to effect. >> brian: she was struck by that. >> ainsley: she was. these are families. we do care about these

individuals, absolutely, they are americans. and we appreciate what they do for us. all right. to a fox news alert. the accuser at the infamous 2006 duke lacrosse rape case just admitted to making the whole story up. >> brian: chanley painter is here with the details. >> it was a huge national story back in 2006 when crystal mangum acutz could you seed the players of stripping her while performing as a stripper at a team party in march of that year. now more than 18 years later she is finally admitting that she lied about it all saying this, quote: i testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn't. and that was wrong. and i betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me. i made up a story that wasn't true because i wanted validation from people and from god. the 46-year-old also apologized to the three duke players who were all found innocent of the crime then later sued the

university after their case was dismissed in 2007 reaching an undisclosed settlement. and the prosecutor on the case was later disbarred for lying in court and withholding d.n.a. evidence which ultimately absolved the young men and at the time magnum was not prosecuted for perjury due to questions about her mental health. she is currently behind bars serving time after a jury convicted her of second degree murder in the stabbing death of stabbing death 2013. even now with her admission mangum could not be charged with perjury because of the statute of limitations of course in the state of north carolina. guys, back to you. >> brian: we knew she was lying. she got caught lying. but we haven't had her admission. you pointed out something about her background. >> ainsley: chanley just mentioned it. she is in prison for murdering her boyfriend. >> steve: she is and chanley mentioned she cannot be held liable in north carolina because of the statute of limitations.

it's only two years. chanley also mentioned the d.a. remember nifong, he was on the news all the time and shortly after the players were charged, he said there is no doubt about this being a sexual assault that it took place. and he said it was racially motivated. and then when he was disbarred, he was disbarred because he withheld d.n.a. evidence that would have helped the players but that never came out. >> lawrence: people have a right to come forward with their allegations and i think we should litigate them in court but there has to be a severe penalty lie and ruin people's lives. the lady 80-something that falsely accused emmett till. she was 80-something and finally admitted she was lying. people are like she should stand trial for that absolutely. i don't care what age you are. when you finally reaching your conscience of wanting to tell the truth about the situation

you should be prosecuted and severe penalties. the damage has been done. >> brian: reframe emmett till. he was killed. >> lawrence: lynched. 14-year-old was falsely accused by a woman later on in her life i think she just died a year ago in her 80's and finally came forward and said it was not true. there is consequences -- now, i'm not saying this is the same in this way because no one was lynched. their lives were destroyed as well. so, there has to be consequences for that. if it's true, let it be litigated in court. i just hope this is a cautionary tale for the media. don't just run with allegations. >> brian: do you know what happened the coach got fired immediately. and he will ended up going to another school in rhode island. bryant and revitalizing that program. weighs considered one of the lead coaches. fantastic coach went down there with his son and they restored the program. but, essentially, he gets fired.

they will find out it's all a lie. those kids, graduate, can't get jobs and now they don't want this on their resume hoping their name is not picked up. >> steve: this is good news for them. >> ainsley: not to make this about god but the 10 commandments he tells us not to do these things to prevent us from hurting ourselves and other people. says not to lie, not to cheat. there are consequences for these actions. >> steve: at the same time as she admitted that she made up the story, which destroyed their lives, she is asking those three young men to forgive her. >> ainsley: she is asking for that. >> lawrence: we can forgive but not forget. >> brian: the captain of my team is from my town. the whole family is like we will never talk about it. 18 minutes. >> ainsley: they probably is kids now. married and have kids. >> steve: 2007. >> brian: go over to carley. >> ainsley: update on the case in new york city.

united healthcare group luigi mangione was never a united healthcare customer as they continue to work closely with law enforcement it. comes as new york democratic congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez is caught comparing denied insurance claims to an act of violence. >> this is not to comment, and this is not to say that an act of violence is justified, but i think for anyone who is confused, or shocked or appalled, they need understand that people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an act of violence against them. >> carley: mangione is accused in the targeted shooting of brian thompson, the ceo of united healthcare in new york city earlier this month. country superstar morgan wahlen pleading guilty yesterday in her nashville chair-throwing incident earlier this year.

>> the chair landed on broadway approximately 3 feet from our officers gavin therese and officer was standing places them in imminent danger of death or serious bodily danger. >> you are charged with two counts of dangerous recklessly danger how double. >> guilty. >> dui education center and two years under supervised probation. to a fox wildfire alert. the franklin fire in malibu is now 30% contained after torching more than 4,000 acres. over 3700 residents are able to return to their homes while many are still evacuated. and look at this, that's a cross overlooking pepperdine university. which is still standing unscathed after the blaze burned the area around it. check that out. anxiously, did you see that? all the area around it near

pepperdine? >> ainsley: we saw that 9/11. remember the cross that stood with the beams shaped like a cross at 9/11. >> carley: i think that's a beautiful thing. >> ainsley: i'm still there. i'm still in this with you. >> steve: because we are looking for god everywhere. >> carley: that's right. that's true. i agree. >> brian: thank you, carley. >> carley: you are welcome. i will leave now. >> steve: stick around. >> brian: tom homan sat down yesterday -- there's the picture -- with the man who runs the blue city. will he make that yesterday's news? we will talk about it today on the couch. ♪ yes. you get member deals and earn points when you shop. so, you can get more and give more too. join my lowe's rewards for free today. lowe's knows how to help you holiday.

>> ainsley: we are back with shocking video plano, texas. a 12-year-old girl is injured after that driver in an suv rammed into her and then look at this. speeds away. >> steve: that's right. police search now underway to try to find the person behind the wheel. >> lawrence: unbelievable. todd piro has the story. >> this video so tough to watch that young girl simply walking to school tuesday morning when a black buick enclave as you see on your scene came speeding around the corner and knocked her several feet in the area. the girl can be heard screaming as she stands up trying to get to safety as the driver flees

the scene. the police issuing a stark warning to the person who was behind the wheel. >> this is considered a failure to render aid. and it is a felony. based on the time of the day it almost seems like somebody who would probably be living in that neighborhood. and we want them to come forward. >> luckily the girl was not seriously injured and was able to make her way to school to report the incident. but neighbors are still in shock this could happen in a development filled with families. >> everyone can make a mistake but driving off, that was intentional. that is not okay. that's where you made a choice to leave a child who could have been really badly hurt. >> that is so thoughtless of someone. slow down, be careful. think of it as if it were your own kids. what would you want? >> todd: police have not revealed any suspects yet and urging anyone with information about that hit and run to come forward. back over to you. >> steve: all right, todd, thank you very much.

meanwhile new york city mayor acre adams met with president-elect trump's incoming border czar tom homan pictured screen left right there. the democrat mayor screen right says he and homan share a common goal in the migrant crisis. >> we're not going to be a safe haven for those who commit repeated violent crimes against innocent migrants, immigrants, and longstanding new yorkers. that was my conversation today with the border czar to figure out how do we go after those individuals who are repeatedly committing crimes in our city. >> brian: there we go. incoming border czar tom homan had that meeting hours ago and here to talk about it. tom, you said some really promising things. mayor eric adams has led you to believe he is in to help you? >> absolutely. i have been call mayor adams' office for two years became a cop and politician because he wasn't taking enough action on public safety in the city when

it comes to illegal aliens. yesterday i saw a complete 180. i saw the cop in him. and he has promised to work with us to target violent criminal illegal aliens in the city and to help us find over 300,000 missing children that this administration released unvetted sponsors. that struck a cord in him, also. he promised partnership. he promised he will write some e os overturn some damage de blasio did. talking about getting back into refresh my recollection island so we have agents and people don't get released. having agents in the precincts rather than released in the street. we promise to put our staffs together and cutting out the details as of yesterday is he all in. >> ainsley: tom, what made him change? >> i think the tragedies we have seen the last year or two. i think, you know, whether it's laken riley and we actually talked about laken riley yesterday because laken riley was arrested in the city. if we would have had a better.

>> brian: killer. >> >> we had a better relationship here. he would have never got to georgia and she probably would be alive today. we talked about that. so, like i said yesterday, i saw eric adams career cop and he really cares about public safety in this city and he wants to do what he can he is willing to take the hit from the left to do it because it's the right thing to do: putting public safety over politics. >> lawrence: that should be every city. i don't know if people understand. this when there is a detainer talking about criminals only. if you are asking local law enforcement for help, it's because someone has broken the law in some way. we're not talking about oh though that is a part of deportation. but your cooperation for every major city is only talking about the criminal aliens, right? >> that's what we talked about yesterday. i said, look, i'm not looking for nypd to come with immigration officers. leave that to me. but, when it documents public safety threats, we should be on the same side. that's why i get so angry at the chicago mayor.

governor pritzker, san diego just passed the most damaging laws in san diego. illegal alien can get arrested for rape and they are going to release them to the street rather than call ice. that's why i'm so angry. it should be a partisan issue. republicans, democrats can, independents, when it comes to public safety, what elected mayor or elected governor doesn't want public safety threats out of their community? that what angers me. yesterday meeting was a good meeting. i gave him credit because once he agreed to sit down. i'm not going to give names yet but two other mayors have reached out verify they want to get to the table with me. already reached out. i think this starts a domino effect. >> steve: sanctuary cities? >> yes, sir. >> steve: i got a feeling it was not the mayor of chicago because you just mentioned mayor johnson. you were in chicago on monday. and you said that your deportation plan is going to start in a big way in chicago. you said the governor and the mayor can either help you or get out of the way.

but you also said if he, meaning the mayor, if he impedes us, if he knowingly harbors or conceals an illegal alien, i will prosecute him. so, you will not only go after the illegal migrants, you may go after some mayors who aren't helping? >> if they step over that line. they can sit back and watch us, which, again, i find incredible, you don't want to take public safety threats out of your community to help us. there are laws on the books that we will prosecute. it's 18 us (c)(11) 1, impeding federal law enforcement officer a felony. title 8 united states code iii if you knowingly harbor illegal from ice that's a felony. when i was an agent a long time ago i arrested u.s. citizens harboring in their home or place of employment. if i can do to a citizen why can't i do it to a politician who is actively going to from doing our job. >> talk about up close and

personal real story. yesterday we found out about a 7-year-old ivory smith killed by an illegal immigrant who was arrested and let go and was drunk driving, killed dead. this is the type of thing that motivates you. >> yes. throughout my career i have seen a lot of tragedies, we have talked about many tragedies, back of a tractor-trailer a 5-year-old guy suffocated to death. girl 9 year as young as 9 years old raped by cartels. once you talk to a little 9-year-old girl that went through that sort of hell it, changes how are. yeah, i'm very passionate. it isn't just about illegal immigration. it's about, you know, the sexual assault of young girls and the murder of young girls in this country this year. >> brian: look at her. >> ainsley: beautiful. >> brian: she is dead now. >> fentanyl has killed a quarter million americans. about record number of people on the terrorist watch list. about 600 percent increase in sex trafficking. it's sick. and we can stop it.

president trump had the most secure border in my lifetime, we had to locked down and this administration opened the border and why have you all these bad things happening now. >> lawrence: i hate to put a deadline on this but we have got a lot of criminals here. i want to specifically talk about the criminals. how long do you think it will take to start the deportation proceedingsenned of all of those criminals? >> depends on what country they are from. some are easier to deport than others. china difficult. >> steve: they don't want them back. >> lawrence: do you hold them until the deportation until they receive them? >> there is a supreme court ruling called schwab bow vs. u.s. we can only 6 months with likelihood of removal. if there is no likely mood of removal release them unless you are a significant public safety threat or national security threat. that's why i'm so happy that president trump to me the best interest in my lifetime did more on the border. he will not take no. when we arrested gang members in

long island when he was president. he will soold wouldn't ms-13. it took -- he would hold these countries accountable. >> brian: selling off the wall is going on right now. daily wire had the story. pennies on the dollar. the wall we paid for that sat there for four years we're about to put it up. is there anything can you do. can president trump call biden and say knock it off? >> working on it. but i'm with you. i was actually down on the border with governor abbott. i was down on the arizona border with the united states border patrol just last week. the wall is laying there in pieces and they are selling it for pennies on the dollar. they are som sabotaging the incg administration make it difficult for us. going to get this done whether it's a mayor or governor or someone border wall we will overcome that. we are going to secure this border and save lives. >> ainsley: how many times have you been to the border? you are the incoming border czar have you been there.

>> i have been there four times which is four times more than the oldward czar. i'm looking forward to going back. i'm not waiting until january 20th. i'm on the ground getting this done. >> brian: someone has to run the country no one else is. >> steve: a lot of people are behind you. good luck. >> ainsley: thank you, tom. >> steve: another trump platform come to live doge is looking for the best and brightest to work 80 hours with no pay. one of the applicants says she's ready next. i was out on a delivery, when i came across a snake... ♪

all the great lakes. but we have lake-effect snow warnings down wind of erie and ontario. that's where we are focused in. wind chill alerts, it's cold outside across the northern plains and upper midwest and that's ongoing. tomorrow the risk for ice along the mississippi and missouri river valleys keep that in mind fox weather.com for all of your latest details. all right, steve, winter has arrived. >> steve: it's beginning to look a lot -- you know. thanks j.d. >> janice: you got it. steve since doge the department of government efficiency pit out this all-call on x for, quote: small government revolutionaries willing to work 80-hours plus per week on unglamorous cost-cutting they have gotten stacks of applicants. our next guest is one of the applicants, a cpa who is recently retired. and she is ready to slash red tape and government waste. sarah armstrong joins us right now from pennsylvania. sarah, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. thank you so much for having me. >> steve: we were talking about it yesterday.

you want to work at least 80 80 hours a week and not get paid. but you actually want to help the government, right? >> i do. and certainly the people here in the united states. and i have had the fortunate opportunity in the past to do this type of work for my local community. we had like a mini doge many years ago. so i had the opportunity for a year to volunteer and work with other wonderful members of my community for us to identify waste and become more efficient. it was really positively received by the community. i know this type of work and in a position to do it. >> steve: indeed with recent retirement. as a cpa, you know the rules. you know the federal rules. you know the government rules. you have a passion for small business and you know a lot of small businesses face a lot of dumb red tape, a lot of regulations. send elon musk. write up your idea and send to

elon musk and next thing you know they might actually cut some red tape. >> that would be wonderful. that would be welcome news, certainly for small business owners here in the united states. many of them make -- they wake up on monday morning and worried about how they are going to make payroll on friday. these are people that have a dream and start a business. and they take out oauto loan and they have to sign a personal guarantee and what that really means is they are putting their home on the line that their business is going to be successful. and to continue to burden small businesses with unnecessary regulations, unnecessary paperwork. and the cavalier attitude that every small business can just send things to their lawyer. send things to their accountant. every time they do that that's money they can't hire another mechanic or hairdresser for their small business. >> steve: sarah, you are not just doing it for the here and now and us. you are doing it for your kids.

lives. and it did so in many ways starting with backpacks in the hospital. which was just an introduction to the many programs that it has created. >> ainsley: right. >> throughout its, you know, 20-plus years as an organization. and those programs are really centered on warriors' needs. >> ainsley: john, you are incredible, west point grad. you served in the army. you were injured in iraq. lost both of your legs from the knee down. i'm so glad there is an organization like this to help you and help your family. i think it's important to draw attention to this organization because it's christmastime and season the of giving kicks off first 12 days until christmas. what does this organization mean to you? you just started as the ceo in march. you retired. you were in the army for 42 years. tell us about the organization and how our viewers can help.

>> come in here feels like come home to family. because all we do is care for people. >> ainsley: you were here for the soldiers. >> people like john. he put his life on the line. can'captain of the lacrosse team warriors thought they would have to accept the life they have instead of embrace the life they thought was possible. wounded warrior project get them on the path of life and renewed purpose we do it because of a grateful nation. the reason we are free because of people like john and many other veterans we can't ever forget them. so, we appreciate all they do for us. >> ainsley: john have you gone through something most of us have never gone through. how do you get up every day knowing that your life is not the direction, you know, maybe you thought you were going to live in paris and you ended up in a different country that you weren't expected, basically how do you wake up every day with a

purpose and getting through the day? >> i have seven children so they wake me up. >> ainsley: you don't have a choice. >> exactly there is so much that the organization does to give you those goals and give you a path. and help you transition to give you that new meaning in your life because, unfortunately, the battle doesn't end on the battlefield. >> ainsley: correct. >> one of the most important things that i have seen and i was hurt over 20 years ago is that those needs that i have have changed over the years. and even though there is currently no act of war going on warriors still persist. ever important and in many ways significant and greater in many ways. >> ainsley: well, i challenge everyone watching to donate to wounded warrior. maybe donate $5 to the

organization that we talk about over the next 12 days, every single day. maybe we can challenge each other to do it. god bless you. thank you so much, john, for everything you have gone through. >> thank you. >> ainsley: your service to our country, too, and this organization. thank you. merry christmas. >> merry christmas. >> ainsley: and thank you -- oh let me give you their website wounded warrior project.org. and thank you to our partner bass pro shops for styling our "fox & friends" studio for the entire month of december. ♪ come they told me ♪ pa rum pa pump pump ♪ our finest gifts we bring ♪ (holiday music) ♪ (♪) (♪)
