president. so it's unique that he's skipped it all a four years. will: well, it's normally, kevin, right, it's normally at lincoln financial field in philadelphia. of it's moved this year to landover, marylandsome if. kevin: yeah, they had a game in boston, it's in landover this year, baltimore next year. eventually, they'll get back up the philly. i know the folks really want to have the game back, but i think it's great to to move it around a little bit. will: yeah. speaking of maryland, there's somebody else down there, former marine vet joey jones is checking in with us all morning long from army-navy. hey, joey. joey: hey, good morning, guys. i knew we had a recovering grinch on the house, that's great to hear. you've got to love christmas, kevin. kevin: sure. [laughter] joey: this is the 125th time these two football teams, these two service academies have met on a football field, but it really is an amazing thing. the sun just pond up, and people are piling in to tailgate and

celebrate. there are military nonprofits here, there are companies that support our military here. it really is almost like a super bowl field to where so many people come here to celebrate the army-navy game. it's a really special game. one of the things that happens real quick when the game's over, both teams come together and they sing each other's academy if alma mater's song. and so the idea here is they're going to go to battle on the football field, but the minute that game is over, now they're brothers and sisters in arms again. it's really an amazing thing. you guys know, college football is one of the biggest sports in the country, and to have men playing college football that will in 18 months be out on the battlefield, it's really special. this is a couple times i've had the chance to cover it. you were talking about the game moving around. the last time it was here in maryland was 2021, i believe, or 2017 -- i can't remember. it's a few years ago. that was the only other time it was here. and the game was decided 17-11.

finish so normally this game's, like, within a touchdown even if one team's really good, the other one isn't. the passion on the football field is amazing. and i, for one, am a glad it's not in philly because every time i've gone there, it's snowed, and i'm pretty cold. i want to borrow that heater carley's got underneath the table. [laughter] carley: it's on low though because it does get really hot. kevin: let me ask you the question, buddy, i know it's early, but i'm just curious, what's the need mood? as a veteran, i know this game means more perhaps the you, joey, than it might to the average football fan, but e get the feeling there's a lot of americana here. we all get to celebrate and hear the cheers of usa, usa when the president or in this case president-elect goes out there, that's awfully fun. that's great stuff. joey: yeah. if you've seen president trump show up at any of those football games over the last year, you

know what the college football fan thinks of president trump. i've got a feeling today this place is going to go absolutely crazy for him. and as far as all the servicemens around the country, i'll be honest with you, there aren't a lot of people that get to go to a service academy. so as enlisted men and women and other officers, our connections to the academies is not very deep. but when you see those people out on the football field and all the pomp and circumstance, you can't help but feel connected. every soldier in this country feels connected to team army and most marines and every say sailor in in this country is pretty much -- will: most marines. [laughter] that little qualifier deserves exploration. i'm going to have a follow-up question later, joey. [laughter] we'll check in hater in the program. carrie: thank you, joey. one of the cool things is all the pomp and circumstance. i was just looking at the schedule of, you know, this time the march of marine midshipmen, the corps cadets come on, i'm

sure there's going to be flyovers. it's just such a fun thing, and belle -- it'll be really cool to watch. 125 years. i also, i also do love that j.d. vance invited daniel penny. because think about all that he's been through, and now he gets this mass if e show of support -- massive show of support. it feels like the end of a terrible chapter for him, and now he can celebrate and just have ease of mind and watch this game. it's an opportunity that that he would never turn down. will: or at least a break. there'll be a civil lawsuit and, you know, emotionally and financially there'll be a lot of catching up to do, but at least it'll be a break today. carley: exactly. will: accused ceo killer luigi mangione could be indicted to new york city as early as this week. kevin: his mother may have helped officials before her son's to arrest. carley: chanley painter joins us with the details. >> reporter: good morning. luigi mangione could be back in

a a pennsylvania courtroom as soon as tuesday where we will learn if the accused killer is changing his mind about a fighting his extradition to new york to face murder charges for allegedly gunning down united health care ceo brian thompson. >> indications are that the defendant may waive, but that waiver is not complete until a court proceeding which my understanding from court officials in pennsylvania cannot happen until tuesday, and we'll be ready whether he is going to waive extradition or contest extradition. >> reporter: and this news comes as mangione reportedly hires new york defense attorney a longtime prosecutor who at one time led the sex crimes unit in the manhattan d.a.'s office before turning to private practice. we're also learning that police reportedly believe the 26-year-old fled the city by train after the murder and not by bus as originally thought. saying mangione took the subway

from the bus station down to penn station where he then purchased a train ticket to pennsylvania. of course police caught up with him five days later. and now it's being reported mangione's mother spoke to the fbi the night before her son's arrest where she told them the man pictured in those wanted posters for the murder of the united health care ceo bore a resemblance to to her son. and the new york post reporting this visit followed a tip to the fbi from the san francisco police about a missing persons report the family filed last month if after not hearing from mangione for more than four months. guys? carley: chanley painter live for us, thank you so much. will: you know, one of the things about this case, there's all kinds of mysteries and interesting aspects to this case. but for me one of the most fascinating sides has been the way that a lot of people in america and in the media have embraced luigi mangione. they have turned him into the hero and brian thompson into the

villain. and i think there's this wild psychology about this, like, why has this guy become your whatever we're going to call it, robinned hood, your -- robinned hood, your class warfare if hero. earlier this week on the will cain show, foxnews.com, fox news youtube, spotify, apple, i had dr. drew on, and we talked the about this. he gave me three reasons why people are embracing luigi mangione. >> so there are really three ways of looking at this. one is, as you said, on the individual level where people are expressing reprehensible moral sensibilities, truly rep rep listens hence,, saying things like i experienced joy when i heard about this man being shot or people are just fed up. it's an explicit endorsement of murder. if you happen to be frustrated with a business owner. this is a cities gust --

disgusting, reprehensible moral sensibility. the other, and this is the more humorous aspect, is the fact that there are now -- jimmy kimmel said something about these women being breasted and attracted to this -- interested and attracted to this man because he's a criminal. and that has a name. that is a illness called high wrist fill ya. that is a impairment that that affects functioning. and what this is, is, of course, mass formation, another manifestation of that. however, the mass formission during covid and during me too was focused on the cancellation mechanism. and cancellation is a scapegoating mechanism. cancellation was the the precursor to where we are now where they are literally acting it out violently. people that are engaged in this are not well. all three categories are sick, and we need to understand it as such. will: so the three categories

just to be clear, first or morally reprehensible people who have lost their moral compass. he points there taylor lorenz, the former new york post, washington post columnist, and senator elizabeth warren. honestly, this is a sitting senator. two, women that are attracted, they write letters to men in prison, and three is the mass formation, french revolution-style, you know, off with their heads, you know, we're going to go after ceos. all of them sick. carley: yeah, without question. and it's all over social media where it's, whether it's a comedian soaking -- joking about how people find him attractive. maybe because it's comedy, i guess you could put that in a separate category although it's still horrific because somebody just lost their life, to even when you go out on the streets of new york there are people on the streets selling t-shirts and mugs and christmas ornaments

celebrating this alleged killer. and i was reading that the mcdonald's where he was arrested has been flooded with negative reviews now because everybody's saying -- will: they called him in. carley: yeah, exactly. it's crazy. kevin: this is sick. i mean, this is a dad. you know, two kids. by all accounts, you know, a guy who really was a self-made person. killed by this kid of privilege who just snuffed out a life for a grievance. it's so outrageous to me becausest the almost as if people are delighting in evil. and that's what really -- you know, when you talk about righteous indignation, there's a lot of it around country because we're watching people do things that we know are sick and evil, and they're playing to the crowd on social media. i think it's awful. carley: it's so true. and the last thing i'll say about this is i hope -- you have to give a family time to mourn. i'm sure that his wife and his children, i hope that they're

tuning all of this out and just focusing on themselves right now. but there will be a time where i hope they do do an interview and speak out and talk about brian thompson and we get to know who he was as a person, and and then all the people joking and making fun of this, they feel as bad as they should. will: all right, let's move to this. some on the left are doge-curious. some in the house of representatives want to be a part of doge. inside house democrats' doge-curious bloc. [laughter] they write axios interviewed more than half a dozen house democrats who had suggestions for how doge can streamline the government cut spending. they hue to be younger and male, and some have open ambitions about running for higher office. led a rebrand by flipping perception of democrats as unquestioning champions of democracy schedule bracing a sleeker vision of government. carley: yeah, that's right. congressman jared moskowitz, he's actually the only democrat to join the new doge caucus --

will: so far. carley: that's right. he says more dems will join. doing so gets your voice to fight for the things where there's bipartisan agreement and fight against irrational things a probably get proposed. and then i was reading in this axios piece ro khanna had some ideas, democrat from california. he said cutting agencies redundancies, consolidating agencies and insulating self-populating tax forms as well as more liberal ideas of scrapping fossil fuel subsidies. i mean, making government more efficient shouldn't be a partisan thing. and you can see that reflected in how there are certain doge-curious democrats -- [laughter] kevin: listen, it's our country. -- money, it's your money. let's trim the fat where we can without hurting people. there's always inefficiencies in government, so i salute the folks who are doge-curious. will: there we go. kevin: i like that.

jocelyn none garre rhode island's mother calling for the worst punishment for if two illegal migrant accused of killing her daughter in june. prosecutors announced they'll be seeking the death penalty. >> i do want death for them. i do think it fits the crime. it's an eye for an eye, and if they did not want to be eligible for the death penalty, they should is have never did what they did. kevin: conservative cf the harris county d.a. joined "fox & friends" yesterdayen on her office's decision. >> we want the message out there that regardless of who you are but especially if you are illegally in this country, that you will face the same consequences as anyone else for murdering a child during the course of raping and kidnapping her. kevin: amen. both suspects are in jail with a $10 million bond each. and for the record, they have pleaded not guilty. meantime, president-elect trump is reacting to the mysterious drone sightings across the country saying the

public should know what they are and if suggesting they should be shot down. now, this comes as new jersey's governor is begging the federal government for aid saying residents if the garden state need more information. but the white house insists they're working on things, and they're trying to get to the bottom of it. >> i can tell you that we are working on it very, very hard to know because we want to answer those questions the same as those folks in new jersey want answers to them. we have now decided to employ some additional technology to new jersey and some additional personnel to try to get a better sense of what these things are. kevin: this comes as new york's governor launches her own investigation into the drone sightings. and finally, 77 years after leaving school early, this 96-year-old woman now gets to graduate alongside her great nephew. irene had to leave miami university in ohio because her family couldn't afford the

tuition, but she always wanted to finish her degree. her family reached out ott school which surprised her by making her an official alum. and this moment even sweeter because she gets that diploma if alongside her great nephew robert who is graduating early. and we say if all the folks here at "fox & friends", congrats to both. carley: amen. never too late. kevin: that's brittle cool. cr carr yeah. 77 years later, why not? kevin: you go, girl. carrie: carley: senator and marine corps reserve colonel dan sullivan is with joey talking america's place on the world stage. ♪ ♪

the army-navy game with more on that. will: morning, joey. joey: good morning. not just a senator from alaska, but also a marine corp. colonel, recently-retired. and more important hi are, you serve on the senate armed services committee. when we looked at what's developed in syria this week and really the entire landscape of the middle east with israel, president trump-elect is going to office with a promise to keep us out of wars that we don't see a strategic advantage or will last longer than we can afford. do you think we're going to have the opportunity to do that, to stay out of these wars? >> joey, first, good morning and thanks for your great service is, staff sergeant, right? joey: yes, sir. >> you know, there's a lot going on in the middle east. a lot of it's actually positive many terms of the developments like in syria. a lot of it, in my view, is because of israel's strong military response. and president trump and republicans, we're going to be focused on peace through strength and returning our

military to lethality. biden has not done that, and i think that's important and good for operations if we have them in the middle east or anywhere around the world. joey: yeah. i think the element of being able to back up your promise goes a long way. we saw that with president trump the first time, and i hope it does keep us out of war. behind us we've got the army-navy game, and we. want those young men to have the opportunity to serve in peace. that's what we want. so we've got this game today to. it's such an amazing experience to be here, but normally this game is the only game played today to it's very special, all of college football respects that. today's not the case. there are two other bowl games. so what are you doing to bring that back? >> well, first, i totally agree with you, this is a time-honored tradition. and it's more than just a game. this game unites americans through patriotism, it honors service and sacrifice, and it, very importantly, inspires the next generation of americans to

serve their country. so i led a letter with almost 60 members of congress, one-third are u.s. senators, and we wrote the top executives in the ncaa and college ball program and we said, hey, keep that tradition of making this only game today. do not put profits over patriotism. you need to make sure that for one day you honor american service members and you honor our country. just one day. that's all we need many. so we wrote them and, hopefully, they'll listen to us. joey: i hope they do listen to you. i didn't understand this, when it comes to just the revenue that these schools can wring in, the recruiting -- because it's hard to recite to a service academy especially in this landscape where players can jump around teams. and not only is it hard to recruit and hard to get in and today ooh's a special day, both of these teams are very good this year. >> you're exactly right. almost one-third of the revenues

for west point and the naval academy for their athletic departments come from this game. this day. and this is a huge recruiting tool to get young americans to watch this game, to listen and learn about the patriotism. guys like roger stay back who won the heisman and served in vietnam, i mean, this is such a storied tradition here, and it really inspires young americans to serve. and that's why we're telling the ncaa senior executives, hey a, let them have this day. and for the country, for our service members, one day a year you can afford it. hopefully, they'll listen to us. joey: i think they will. i think we've made a strong case here today. learning most people would say that senator is your top title. i personally think it's marine kohl mel. >> i couldn't agree more. joey: thank you for your service. >> thank you for your service and sacrifice, staff sergeant. joey: back to you guys. carley: very cool. thank you both for your service. great segment. and definitely keeping the game,

region this week. carley: and an ice storm causes a travel nightmare across the midwest. kevin: brandy campbell live in cedar rapids, iowa, where it is a bris withing 26 years -- brisk 26 degrees this morning. >> reporter: very cold out here. good morning. eastern iowa right now under an ice storm warning until 3 p.m. central time. so right now you can sees the raining. well, this is freezing rain. when it hits the surface, it freezes up. and so that's going to lead to major issues on the road which are quickly deteriorating. we could get a quarter inch of ice build up. i want to show you just a quick example. we're going to tilt down. we're actually on a bridge just above the cedar river here in downtown cedar rapids. this is ice that is already starting to build up. we know bridges, overpasses, those start to get that ice accumulation even faster, but the roads, i can tell you, are already slick out here.

if you are in this region, be careful. this is likely to be the first notable winter storm for this area. i'm going to send it back to you, rick. rick: brandy, great work. you always do such a good with job reporting for us. but i tell you what, these storms are so incredible. ice storms are so dangerous. you can kind of drive on snow. not that well, but you can. ice, not the case. you have to stay off of these roads. interstate 80 cutting across iowa, stay off of it this morning because of all of this ice. all that water falls kind of as rain, but it's very kohl right at the surface, and that's where you start to see that icing. you can see this on the radar picture where you see that pink. farther towards the north it's all snow, but this ice is going to be a big with problem. notice a lot of rain to the south of it. not as big of a deal, obviously. this is the ice still yet to come, some spots maybe another tenth of an inch or so, and that's all it takes to have that problem. here's the rest of the forecast for today to, the storm very

slowly budges off towards the east, notice out across the west a very active pattern as well. all right, guys, send it to you inside. kevin: meantime, north carolina is still rebuilding after helene with many still homeless. and we're talking about homeless through the holidays. well, our very own weather machine, janice dean, had a chance to talk to a volunteer there on the ground. >> well, right now all the property owners are in campers now. they're out of tents. in this direct area. there are till people in tents that coneed either a hot tent or campers or a ten -- tiny home. no electricity, so by generator and by wood stove and by heaters. will: despite all they've been through, nonprofits are making sure that the kids in asheville, north carolina, still have a merry christmas. carley: janice dean is live from a toy drive in ash aville. a family impacted by the storm is with her. good morning to you all. janice.

bringing his tractor up to patch it together so that they could at least get stuff out so we could get supplies up the mountains, and then we found out that it was even worse on up the mountain. so we ended up working with the fire department to get supplies up to necessary bit chapel and over into, like, across black creek to the top of old fort road where craigtown was. like, it was hard. janice: yeah. >> it was harmed. janice: how are you feeling now, matt? the community is coming together, strangers helping strangers. what else do you guys need? >> at this point i don't know if we need anything. i think, like i said, i'm just so impressed with the community, how everybody's came together and met those needs. everybody's came together and said we can help you, and that's what's here today, you know? strangers coming in and helping us, neighbors help us. as long as we keep helping each other, i think we're good. janice: i love it. people from 50 states have come to north carolina to help. and sandy told me that you are

♪ [cheers and applause] >> usa! usa! usa! will: it's morning in america again. president-elect donald trump ringing the bell this week at the new york stock exchange if as loud chants of usa echo on wall street. but will this optimism make its

way to main street? trump economic adviser and co-hour of the trump economic miracle, stephen moore joins us now. stephen, great to see you this morning. let's start with some context. that's the first time since 1985 that a president or would-be president has visited the new york stock exchange. ronald reagan was the last time, that's why we have mentioned several times this morning, morning in america again. >> right. will: what to do you make of the significance of trump ringing the bell on wall street? if. >> well, i just can't stop smiling. when i see that. it was the most amazing moment when all these traders on the floor of the new york stock exchange started chanting usa, usa. you know, it's so interesting because, remember, kamala harris when she was running said she was going to bring joy back to america. i guess by losing she has brought joy, because trump has -- i mean, this is the trump effect right now, will, where people everywhere i go people are confident, they're optimistic, they have a little more of a hop in their step. and that's true each, will, of

democrats. many of my democrat friends say, hey, you know, this guy's going to bring back the american economy. it's a very positive thing. and the other interesting development is it's almost like donald trump is already president, isn't it, will? i mean, you know, what's the saying about joe biden, that he's forgotten but not gone. and trump has, essentially, assumed the role of president two months early. but it's great for america, and people are really feeling upbeat. by the way, confidence is good for the economy -- will: right. >> people go out and spend, they invest. i'm upbeat, and i think most americans are. will: i want to to pick up on this confidence thing because this could be misunderstood as a cheerleading moment, you know, the whole crowd yelling usa, usa. and, steven, i'm not here to preach to you, only to set you up. you're the economy pest. an economy is only a series, millions of decisions and choices made by individual consumers on a daily or actually

on an hourly basis. and there's a thing called animal instincts, right? and that is, like, how do you feel, your animal instinct about your purchasing power and what you feel about tomorrow. if you listen to traders on the floor of the new york stock exchange yelling usa, usa, what that suggests is we're on the verge of animal instincts carrying us forward in a positive direction. >> oh, e couldn't agree more. i mean, there's -- people are just feeling like good things are coming with the trump economic agenda, you know? i'm proud of that. i helped with the agenda in the first term. but i think people look back at those four years when trump was president and say, hey, that was or that about trump, but they were prosperous if years for the country. i think you're going to see trump, will, right out of the gate literally on january 21st signing executive orders, promoting american energy. we're going to get that tax cut done. all of these changes are good for -- things are good for america. trump has also instilled a kind

of new patriotism in this country. people feel upbeat about our country, and foreigners are -- by the way, why do you think you see so much foreign money coming into the united states? even foreigners are looking at what's happening here and saying, hey, good things are coming to america. it's kind of amazing that one man, donald trump, could totally change the mood of the country. will: you were talking about that trader in his blue jacket, the audio is of him saying, hey, if there's a guy, you're the guy. that's what that trader was saying to trump. you're the guy for this. by the way, i heard it this week in alabama, i heard it several months. my son who's an airline pilot, he was put on hold, day after the election he gets a call, okay, we're ready to hire. we're ready for the economy. i've got to leave it there. >> that's why -- will: go ahead. >> that's why i called this book the trump economic miracle, because this guy brings miracles to the country. we're going to see. and i think it's going to happen

quickly, by the way. first day in office. will: all right. there it is on your screen. stephen moore, thanks so much. >> thank you so much. will: we're celebrating the second of our 12 days of giving. how you can help our service members this holiday season, next. ♪ i'll be home for christmas. ♪ ♪ leading strategists like us. when you want to invest with more confidence... the answer is j.p. morgan wealth management

♪ carley: from the moment of enlistment to transitioning back into civilian life, uso is there through it all. this year the organization will deliver 50,000 holiday packages to service members deployed around the world. their goal is to focus on connection, strengthening, wellnesses and resiliency. and here to discuss is uso chief operating officer and retired u.s. air force colonel christopher plans. thank you so much for joining us, and thank you for all that a you do for our service members. and the uso does such good work just being there for service members who need a little bit of a boost especially over the holidays. tell us about your efforts this holiday season. >> absolutely. and thank you so much for having me here today. and it is true, the military, this is one of the hardest times for them whether it's someone who's just gone to basic and is away from if their family for the first time or our hundreds of thousands of service members

that are serving overseas and are going to be away from the united states during the holidays. we try to bring some of the united states and keep them connected to family, home and and country while they're overseas. that could be through our holiday care package program, as you said, we're going to push an initial 50,000 out overseas during this holiday period, but also we do special events all over the world many if our centers when that's in our airport center centers as they're that traveling back home or the centers that are in the installations worldwide. no matter where they are in the world, they can stop by, and they can have a good holiday moment at their uso centers. also to that is we try to provide connection whether that's a phone call, a connection or like our reading program where if someone's deployed overseas and they have a child back home, they can get on line and they can read a book to their kid or wish them a happy holidays. carley: yes, i love the uso reading program. you know, sometimes it can be even more difficult for the

child than even the service member. and to have the child open the package and hear the voice of their mom or dad who's serving overseas just puts a smile on their face, could make their day. i'm sure you have so many stories of success and happy moments that service members and their families tell you about what you provide for them. so do you have any that you could share with us? >> well, i mean, first of all, it's personal for me because i was deployed numerous times during holidays, and my two daughters grew up knowing sometimes dad was not there. we try really hard to avoid that, and many times it is the call when they're overseas, it is those deploying people that we're able to connect back. and having been there, you know, overseas, we have a tour right now going over in europe towards some of the deploys locations, and right now being able to make that connection back to the family, i think, is one of the most critical things. being away from your family during the holidays though you're serving the country is that tough time, and it's really where we surge. this is our busiest time of the

year. i mean, we're going to do about 10 million connections between ourselves and the military to try to support them and support their well-being, but the holiday time is when we do the most. carley: that's fantastic. we just showed a picture of you and your two daughters clinging on to you with, they're so cute. clearly, they love dad. people want to donate, and i'm to sure there are many who do, where can they go real quickly? >> absolutely. that was me getting back from afghanistan after a tour. carley: god bless you. >> they can go to uso.org and all the information about our programs and how you can donate is on the web page. carley: yeah. helping parents stay as present as possible even though sometimes they are thousands of miles away. colonel plamp, thank you for all that you do. we appreciate you. merry christmas. happy holidays. >> thank you so much for having us on. cr k you're very welcome. thank you to our partners, bass pro shops, for style thing our "fox & friends" studio for the entire month of december. how great does it look?
