notice the left never discusses assimilation with an assault on our history and our culture and erosion of national identity and patriotism. the devaluation of citizenship. we have dei and esg, multiculturalism biculturalism all for the purpose of undermining a national identity and unity. we have more than that massive migration with an emphasis on illegal immigration, birthright citizenship, chain migration. this is revolution by immigration. it will destroy this country as fast as it destroyed the roman empire. they lasted a thousand years. we're not even at 300. i'll see you tomorrow night on life, liberty and levin. ♪ ♪ o, say can you see by the

[laughter] rachel: exactly. can. kevin: that was great. wasn't it fun? will: i had a great time. i was invited by congressman michael waltz, who is a great guy, and, yeah, it was fun,

kevin. rachel: what was the feelingsome this was a big moment. pete was there, which was -- army, been through a lot over the last but weeks, you're his best friend. [laughter] give us the scoop. will: i'll give you two pieces of color. so is, first, i walked into the suite, and pete's standing there right next to elon musk. [laughter] only person that i really didn't get to shake hands with and spend any time with was elon musk -- rachel: the one person you wanted to, because i know you have read his biography. will: i have, i would love to meet elon, but there was a big bro hugment. i didn't mean to give elon the cold shoulder, but it just happened that way. [laughter] kevin: what's funny, i was looking at the great pictures you posted, and among the photos there's one concern i mean, these are beautiful, but there's one where there's, like, will and hen the elon's in the back. [laughter] turn the camera, go, hey, elon,

come on, get in on all this. [laughter] it's such an amazing experience. if you've never had a chance to go, as an american, i strongly encourage you to take in an army-navy game if you ever get the chance. there's the shot is i was talking about. there's elon in the back. i wanted him to turn around and say, hey, let me get in on this. will: the other piece of color is this, the atmosphere. kevin: yeah. will: it's really, truly an atmosphere many that suite and in that game. and i know that can begin to sound cliche, but there's just so much smiling and so much happiness and so much enthusiasm with, so much excitement about what's happened in america. rachel: yeah. let's not pretend our bro isn't there, our buddy. how he's he looking? how's he feeling? if i haven't been next to pete in a while. will: he's feeling good. at one point vivek ramaswamy's son -- rachel: do we have that video?

will: vivek ramaswamy's son was there, and i looked up, and there's pete on the ground doing push-ups, teaching vivek ramaswamy's son how to do push-ups. rachel: i love it. vivek's, like, a tennis player, and i think pete's trying to get kid to go to west point. [laughter] will: a lot of army versus navy recruiting going on yesterday. unfortunately for pete, for tulsi, for congressman michael waltz, navy won the game 31-13. but, you know, also in the booth, j.d. vance, incredible guy. first time meeting j.d. in person, incredible guy. and j.d. had a game, daniel penny. just days after he was acquitted in his new york criminal case, for him standing up as a hero, on the new york city subways, he was invited by j.d. voons as -- vance as well. rachel: that picture struck me.

this is a guy who had been vilified, called a racist, had his life turned upside down for trying to do the right hinge and became a symbol for the left are of what their whole ideological agenda was and the right in defense of him. and the fact that he's at this game with donald trump, with j.d. vance, if you want a picture that symbolizes the change, that shift that you're talking about, that joy of so many common sense americans that, okay, america's back, we might get back to normal, that photo is it. kevin: and if i could just add this too, a lot of people who didn't get a chance to watch the game, i took it all in, i love the game, the cheers for the president-elect -- i was emotional watching it. i'm getting goose bumps now because you really get the sense, i think, that positivity. people are talking about there is a new golden age perhaps coming for the country. there you see him right there in the booth, and it was fun just listening to that, chants of usa. it's, again, this reminder that

there's this optimism that seems to be growing in the country right now. and i saw it play out in really thyme at the game. it was great. rachel: one area that's not so optimistic is where i live over in new jersey where we've been having for the last, i mean, three, three and a half weeks drones all over our area, over our homes. we can see them through our windows and no answers. and initially, a lot of the officials were trying to calm fear as they were trying to gather information from the feds. and as the feds gave the officials in new jersey if no information, you're starting to see new jersey representatives, new jersey mayors and other officials, sheriffs, just really voicing their frustration. one of them is chris smith, congressman from new jersey. and he's really upset at alejandro mayorkas. listen. >> homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas shockingly said this week we haven't seen anything unusual. we know of no threat, close

quote. isn't unusual? is he kidding? how does secretary mayorkas who infamously told us for years that our southern border was secure and closed when we know it's not and now insults our intelligence that we haven't seen anything unusual? the illicit maneuvering of these drones, i would suggest, suggests a major military power. i've written defense secretary lloyd austin asking the pent gone to authorize the use -- the pentagon to authorize the use of force to down one or more of these unmanned threats to uncover the mystery. bring 'em down over the ocean, over an area where there's no population. find out who's doing it. rachel: i think it's us. i'm just going to put it right out there. [laughter] i'm sorry, chris smith. it's us, that's why we're not shooting them down. will: 100%. kevin brought up a great point

yesterday. look, if it was a foreign power, it would be shot down. there's no doubt about it. is it us, is it military. it's not military. okay, that doesn't t not us. what else do we have? intel agency, what's left? why would an intel agency be flying drones all over new jersey? conservative key and what are they doing -- kevin: and what are they doing with these particular aircraft? some people have suggested their spraying something out of it or dropping things out of it. it could be related to weather or any if number of events, and the ale question i've always had is why not just tell the people what's basically going on? if there's some let's just say surveillance or if there's some intelligence reasoning for this, you can say that. i think the american people are pretty relaxed about that sort of thing. but if you obfuscate, if you are opaque in your descriptions, people will run with it, and it makes you look like a liar if you don't just tell people the basics of what's happening. rachel: well, it's so

interesting, i saw a meme on the internet, and have you ever seen them where t it's like a 1950s mom talking to their child and they have a thought bubble or a speech bubble, and it says, mom, what's a conspiracy theorist? and the answer from the mom was someone who's six months ahead of the mainstream media with. [laughter] and i think we have lived through a period of time where everyone who's been accused, and i've been one of them, of being a major conspiracy theorist and kind of crazy, and then all the things we thought actually came to pass. so now i think we're in this space where people are, like, i don't believe what the officials say because they've lied toes us so many times. win of the things that i'm hearing, some people saying things about they're spraybeing something. i don't know. other theories and, again, i don't know what it is. i wish our government would tell us, some people saying there are nukes that have been missing and that these drones can't actuallg pictures at night. they can't do that at night in the dark, so what they're doing

is trying to catch a smell of some sort of activity, radioactive or methane. i don't know what it is. that's one of the theories. that -- so whatever it is, you guys -- will: can i ask you -- rachel: i just want the say this really quick, whatever the answer is, telling us the truth, they think, will cause us more fannic hand felling us -- panic than telling us nothing. will: that's the interesting. rachel: that's a crazy thought, right? will: fbi is saying we're doing our best to find the origin, but i think there's been a slight overreaction. that's the fbi's reaction. hey, rachel, last night i went the a christmas party after i got back from the game -- rachel: you're a party animal. i'm so impressed. [laughter] kevin: brother drove six hours, came back from a party, got up, did the show -- [laughter] will: but at this party there's people in westchester, in the city, in new jersey, and one of the guys was hey, i saw it tonight. i said, you saw it tonight?

yeah, driving on the west side highway. it's like this story for a lot of people watching in america, including me, it's a story that becomes real. if you look up -- early on you saw them. rachel: yeah. will: how low, how big? rachel: i'm going to be honest and say it's really hard to tell when something is up in the sky just what the size is. it's not an airplane. it's concern i would say, and low. this is your video -- rachel: yes. i didn't take the it, my kids did. i was at the patriot awards with. they were in danger from an alien invasion -- will: to be honest, you would not pull up -- how to pull up your camera and video it, would you? rachel: that's actually true. if you keep looking at this, you'll see a tree, and the tree will give you an indication just how low it is. see, look, there's the tree. that's not that, that's not that high. and that tree's, like, right outside my house. that is the second or third time

we saw it. one time i was sitting on the couch, we were having prayer time with the kids, i'm looking out the window, and i can see it. i'm sitting and looking. that should give you an indication. i can't see a plane when i'm sitting down on our couch looking out the window. so that should give you an indication. but for weeks before it started hitting tv, everyone in new jersey was talking. and all of the neighborhood aps that used -- apps that used to be filled with coyote sightings and dogs and cats lost, and i'm on that because i lost a dog so i'm getting all hose alerts all the time, they all became about -- so something is happening, and they're not telling us the truth. will: all right. well, we have this as well, president-elect donald trump set settling his defamation lawsuit against abc news and its anchor, george stephanopoulos. rachel: that's right. the company is being forced to pay out millions to donald trump on top of issuing an apology. kevin: chanley painter is here

with details. >> reporter: good morning, guys. $50 million is actually going if to be paid to a charitable contribution, to trump's presidential library. trump sued abc news and george stephanopoulos days after the anchor during an interview falsely claimed the jury found trump liable for raping e.j. care roll when ors in fact, the jury only found him liable for sexual abuse. steph knop if louse are repeated the false claim ten times while interviewing nancy mace last march. now he and abc news also had to issue an editor's note saying, quote, abc news and george stephanopoulos regret statements regarding president donald j. trump made during an interview with representative nancy mace on abc this week on march 10, 2024. in a statement, abc news said we are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit on the terms

in the court filing. in addition the paying the president-elect $15 million, abc news must also shell out another $1 million to cover trump's legal fees during this process, guys. conservative chanley, thank you so much. rachel: well, that's an interesting turn of events. this has been a good week for donald trump. a loft of vindication. kevin: i'll say. rachel: plus, daniel penny with him as well. a lot of the narratives by the media, by people that we're supposed to be able to trust and donald trump coming out on top again. will: the standard -- kevin, i know you're in law school right now, the standard on defamation is when you're dealing with a public figure and donald trump is a public figure is actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth. stephanopoulos repeated it over and over, trying the make a jab over and over, repeated a false thing the about donald trump over and over and over. that's malice. or at a minimum, reckless. kevin: absolutely. and not only that, he said i'm

not going to be cowed into not doing my job as if he had the moral high ground on all this. rachel: on one of those late night talk show hosts, they asked him about it. kevin: that's right. and you can't take that kind of risk. i mean, this guy's been in the game for long enough. you don't say a word like rape, racist. you've got to be careful. and i think finally, it seems to me anyway, public opinion and maybe even the law's catching up, you can't just say anything about anybody -- rachel: it's also kind of rich coming from a guy who with worked for bill clinton. [laughter] kevin: and on that note -- you're right, by the way. turning to your headlines at this hour, israeli media is reporting president-elect donald trump spoke with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu by phone late last night discussing a potential hostage deal as well as the ongoing situation in syria. this comes just one day after reports that the two leaders were already eyeing iran's nuclear program following the

in his own right. by the way, travis not only won the award, second colorado player to do so, he did so 30 years after salam -- kevin: will: a colorado buffalo guy here. rachel: i'm not his dad, but i want to know -- kevin: i was certain because they've invited so many players and linemen, you saw coach prime there, even lil' wayne was there. these are all people very close to the family, and i'm not sure the back story of why the dad couldn't make it. based on what i heard from a friend who works in the athletic department, he really wanted to be there, just simply could not make it. it may have been health related. i was watching that speech too, and it choked up a lot of people. rachel: oh, my got. you see this big, strong, young -- and then just break down like a baby talking about his dad. and you're, like, that's really what parenting's about. that is what it all comes down to. the i love it. kevin: by the way, real quick,

♪ rachel: lawmakers desperate for answers as mystery krones buzz new jersey neighborhoods including my own house. now one of them pushing a new bill suggested by our next guest that would let law enforcement shoot them out of the sky which, by the way, president trump suggested yesterday as well in a truth social post. kevin: monmouth county, new jersey, sheriff sean golden joins us now. sheriff, this is a circumstance where it seems obvious to just about everybody you can't say on the one hand you have nothing to worry about, we have no evidence that this is a foreign power or nefarious, and at the same time you're not telling us exactly

what is over the skies of the garden state. >> yeah. good morning. great to be with you. you're absolutely right. i mean, that's the frustration, i think, right up to president trump as he says, listen, if heir not ours, shoot 'em down, right? if this was a national security drill, we miserably failed, you know? drone technology is emerging so much faster, particularly in the defense field. and it's a matter of national security, and it's a matter of public safety hear in new jersey, right -- here many new jersey, right? so when i got together and sent a letter to congressman smith, our congressman here in monmouth and ocean county where we've had a number of sightings, that letter said, hey, we need some changes to federal law. we have to be able to protect our public and our residents here, and that would require loosening up and the ability for the state or at least the state policing units across the country to deconflict and to de-drone if necessary, meaning take down a drone. so right now that rests solely

with the federal government, and i think that's the frustration. as you had said earlier in your show, is this some type of federal agency? you knowing, listen, these drones seem sophisticated. by all accounts we have a lot of false reporting, but the good accounts we do have them from military bases, personnel and from our own first responders around northern new jersey, these things are definitely sophisticated, fast, turn their lights off at times. so we need to get a handle on what it is and who's running it, right? if. rachel: so, very -- >> you know, we're from jersey. we can take the truth, right? rachel: rightment well, sheriff, we did see a chinese spy balloon go over our country, and our government knew about it and did nothing about it which is why some people are saying it's possible it could be a foreign thing and our government's so inept, stupid or compromised or all of the above that they're doing nothing about it. but i think this was a drone, am i correct, that actually crashed and fell and new jersey law enforcement saw that?

what was -- >> we don't have any report -- yeah, we don't have any reports of a crash, drone. i will say this, i think that was up in -- it wasn't in our county. listen -- rachel: oh, that was a civilian drone, okay. but, sheriff, what -- so it's illegal to shoot one down, correct? right now. >> yeah. it's illegal to shoot one down. obviously, we're telling our residents not to shoot them down. you'd be breaking laws in new jersey, and we certainly don't want that, and we're worried about people's safety. these things are large, and they could be dangerous. at the end of the day, what we do need is more deconfliction legislation. listen, i'm not about overregulation, but in this case don't overregulate, just differentiate, right? we need identifiers on commercial and residential recreational drones. you know, they started the faa allowed them to fly in 2023 at night, so some of these are recreational drones, very small, and some are are commercial. we see the testing going on with

amazon and walmart and the like. and, you know, the skies are going to get crowded with these things and in order to guard mix safety and in particular national security, we're going to have to have laws that differentiate these objects. kevin: sheriff shaun golden, best of luck as you try to work out that deconfliction that is so important sheriff, thank you. rachel: thanks, sheriff. all right. well, how could the fall of the assad regime impact christians living in syria? if we're going to discuss that very important topic next.

so, you know, han is 22 years old, and we've been together most of my life. not often do you have a childhood dog that, that lives this long so i think it's really unique and special that we've experienced so many, so many things in life together. knowing that he's getting good nutrition and that he has energy is a huge relief for me and my dad. “such a good little bean.” we're so grateful to have had this time with him,

so let's keep it going and make every day special. as the people you love get older, their risk of severe flu and covid goes up. last year alone, those viruses hospitalized nearly 1 million people 65 and older. that's nearly 1 million moms, dads, favorite uncles, and grammas. if someone you love is 65 or older, talk with them about vaccines, because to you, they're not just another number.

rachel: despite eight arab league countries agreeing to support a peaceful transition in syria expect rebels that toppled the government promising to to respect religious freedom, christians in the country are still rightfully concerned. >> mr. secretary, are you confident that the leader of hts will be able to keep his word to

protect christians and islamic women in syria? >> mr. chairman, i'm not confident. i'm encouraged by the fact that they've said the right thing, but what we have to focus on is whether they do the right thing, including protecting minorities. rachel: founder of the chi process company and president of congress of christian leaders, reverend johnny moore and senior fellow and directer of the center for religious freedom at the hudson institute new york e that -- nina sherry join me now. nina p before we talk about the state of christians in that area, tell us why this matters to christians, our heritage, the history are of this community and why we should be so deeply concerned about their safety beyond the human humanitarian causes, just the historical, traditional part about that. >> yeah. thanks, rachel. this was the first community in the bible, in the new testament, that was identified as christian.

this was the -- damascus was the road that st. paul was traveling when he had his conversion. it's a very important -- it's really part of the holy land, and it's important that there be a living, ape a comment community with roots -- ancient community with roots that go back 2,000 years as these communities do. it really does at this christmas period, it's especially poignant to us as christians when we think about the origins of our faith and these people who have helped and kept the faith and actually brought it to the west. these weren't -- this wasn't a missionary church, this was a church that was missionized from the west, it was the other way around. rachel: right. >> so it's extremely important to us. rachel: absolutely are. johnny, this community has been under so much strain the already under the obama administration we saw their numbers dwinlding. assad provided some sort of rex for christians.

now he's gone because these rebels that, let's be frank, our cia, the turkish government, israel have all funded these are rebels, and now they're in charge. so what do you think is going to happen to them, and do you believe these claims by the islamists that they're going to provide protection for them? >> by the way, mt. video at the beginning of the segment when you heard secretary blinken answer the word about christians, he didn't say kiss chan, he said minorities. and that's a policy decision that this administration has made, that the obama administration if made. that's' why you had the christian community many syria go from 2 million people to turned 500,000. and the pact of the matter is these rebels, while assad was pure evil, that doesn't mean this government's going to be any better, and these rebels may not be isis, but they are islamists, okay in and there isn't a single circumstance of an islamist government making life better for christians. as the rebels are moving across syria, the leader of this group

was issuing statements, don't con first kuwait the properties, don't kill the christians. and you know why he had to issue the statements? because that would have happened had he not. and the fact of the matter is the christians in syria are terrified, and heir so terrified, they won't say it out loud. that's why it's so important that we do for them. rachel: oh, absolutely. we have to be their voice. nina, johnny talked about this very deliberate policy by the obama administration, by the biden administration to not call these communities christian communities, to call them minority communities. i want you to talk to me about why they did that. and then also, what kind of hope you have now that we're coming into a trump administration for these communities. are they going to be in a better spot because trump is in office? >> well, i think that they have denoted, i think that the obama and biden administrations have denoted religious freedom as a

priority of our foreign policy. i think trump, trump did -- president trump in his first term made this a priority policy through an executive order in 2020. i hope he renews that and reasserts it. but because they face an existential threat as a community. rachel: yeah, no question. >> this is a terrorist group. this is a u.s. terrorist group group that is now running the country. rachel: yeah. and we should note we funded it. johnny, last word on this because i know you have a lot to say about the difference between obama and biden versus trump when with it comes to protecting christian communities. >> yeah. look, president trump was and he will be the protector of persecuted christians and all persecuted people, by the way, around the world. and she's right, you know, the united states government doesn't need to be meddling in syria. we don't need a military intervention in any of these things, but if these rebels want to the make the incoming president happy or if they want to the make him angry, touch one

hair on one of those christians in these cities. and if they really want to do something, they'll make the christians of syria at the heart of the future of syria, and then maybe they'll prove us all wrong. we'll wait and see. but if they persecute christians, they will have the ire of the united states government. that's's the lesson of the first trump administration. i believe it'll be the lesson of the second. rachel: wow. i hope that's true. johnny and nina, thanks so much for joining us. very, very interesting thoughts and words. appreciate it. >> thanks for having us. rachel: all right. incoming border czar tom homan is next.

on. i have so many questions to ask is you. let's start with this, he talked about sanctuary cities. does the trump administration, do you have any indication, have you talked to the president, are they going to just refederal funding from cities and -- remove federal funding from cities and states that don't cooperate with the government in getting ill ooh legal -- illegal criminals out of country? >> that's part of the plan. we tried that during the last administration, of course, but when the election, when president trump didn't get back in office, that lawsuit filed by doj, of course, joe biden dropped it. let me talk about what ban brandon -- brandon johnson just said. no one's asking him to make his officers i.c.e. agents. we're asking him to let us in the cook county jail where back in the day we arrested hundreds of criminal ail aliens. that's' what we're asking for. give us access to the bad guy. that's what we want. when you don't give us access to the bad guy in the safety and

security of the jail, you force me into the neighborhood. and when i go into the neighborhood, i'm going to find that bad guy, but it puts him, my officers and the community at risk. and when we find that bad guy, he's probably with others in the country illegally. guess what. >>? they're going to be arrested too because we're not walking away from illegal aliens. so your actions are going to give you the results you don't want. more agents in the community and more non-priority agents being arrested. you force me in that position, and that's what's going to happen. kevin: by the way, you can't -- i don't know what the mayor is thinking in this circumstance. you can't create a haw that violates federal law which, obviously, would have precedent. and in this circumstance regardless of what he is saying in terms of what we're going to do as a sanctuary city or state, the the facts on the ground are simply these: you have the rights, you have the authority as a federal agency to go in and get them wherever they may be. is that, do i have that right, tom? >> you have it exactly right. that's why i find it incredible

that him and governor pritzker, who governor pritzker, the first thing he said was you've got to go through me? why do i have to to go through an elected official to to help you remove public safety threats from your neighborhoods? that's your number one responsibility, protecting the community. i want a to arrest somebody who's in the country illegally that is a criminal. we're going to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats first. why would any elected official not want to help us with that? especially chicago with the crime rate and the shootings at the level they're at. i just can't believe that they want to sit there and call law enforcement officers the bad guy and the victims of -- you know, the criminal aliens that broke the law and violated laws against u.s. citizens, they're the vix, but but the people who enforce the the law are the bad guys? i just don't understand it. will: how unique or how common are you finding mayor johnson's

attitude? i know you met with a lot of blue city mayors, tom, including eric adams, by the way, here in new york city who seems to have changed his tune a little bit. he seems in a constant evolution towards singing a new song. but you're meeting with all these guys. do they sound like brandon johnson? >> no. he's far off the table. the comments he's making, it's just incredible. considering his ratings many chicago are so extremely low, i was there the other day and there was hundreds of people there that want him removed from office. and, again, i just go back to the crime rate in chicago. why wouldn't he want help? in removing public safety threats? i'm going to do it. and that's what i told him. you want to to help, fibro. guess what -- fine. if you don't want to help, just stand awe aside because we're coming. and because we can't take efficiencies of going into the county jail, now i've got to send a whole team rather e hand one guy. now i've got to send a whole

team to the field to arrest that bad guy. it -- if these the game you want to play, we're going to play that game, but there's going to be a lot more agents in your communities just because of your failure to work with us in the county jail. a taxpayer county jail. we want to talk to the guy that you locked in a jail cell -- will: right. >> you locked him in a jail cell for obvious public safety concerns. when you're done with him, simply give him to us. you don't have to hold him a minute on your taxpayers' dime. when you're getting ready to release him, let us know, we'll take a care of him from that point p. rachel: torches can i ask you one quick last question? let's say you get the the illegal criminal out of jail and you're in possession of him. i heard sara carter last night if on the weekend show saying that el salvador said they'll take them back. do you guys have arrangements with other countries to take them back? because a lot of these guys are venezuelans. i don't think maduro's going to take him back. >> i would say to the venezuelan

tren de aragua, don't get too comfortable, we're coming. there are several agreements that the i have, sara. they're going to be removed. i'm not going to call a country right now because we're in the negotiation process, but we will remove if them. if your country won't take you back, we'll find a country that will. i'm not waiting -- rachel: i really believe that. will: the minute rachel asked you that question, a smile went on your face. i feel like there's more here. >> there's more here, but let's put it that way, we're not waiting untillen january 20th. we're already negotiating, talking, taking actions. i've been on the road since the day president trump announced he. when we start january 21st, we've got a great plan in place that's got the prioritization of the worst of the worst first. we're going to concentrate on the public safety threats k and we're going to hit the ground running. and if i think the american people are going to see the mandate they gave to president trump, they're going to carry out. will: thanks so much for the information including the smile that reveals more information.

thank you, tom. rachel: man. the president put the right guy on the job. will: still ahead, should you go dumb this christmas? why one tech expert says there shouldn't be any smartphones under the tree, next. stretch your budget. that's why we offer a free select tool when you buy select tools and batteries from our top brands. so, perfecting the holidays... oh, you're good. is easier than ever. lowe's knows how to help you holiday.

rick: welcome back to "fox & friends." we had that ice storm yesterday, moving off towards the east. behind it cold air, but not that bad. it could be a lot worse for this time of year. now we have winter weather advisories across parts of the east with the worst of it right there, again, across the central spine of the appalachians. that's where we'll get most of the snow. the storm pulling off towards the east, already getting some of that snow down across the appalachians and then rain is going to fall if on spots that saw all of that lake effect snow. it'll be cold again right after that. this storm is going to move off towards the east to. not bringing a ton of we preposition taxer but a rough day at least for tomorrow and then this pattern holds, another bout of storms for today and wednesday. will, over to you. will: thank you, rick. a whopping 93% of young americans ages, get this, 8-18, own a smart if phone even though several studies show negative impact smartphones have on mental health. what do you do if your child has

one of these devices on your -- their wish list? the author of the upcoming book, the tech exit, joins us now. claire, 93%, pretty stunning stat, 8-18. and if you're not in that 95, it's probably on the kid's christmas wish list. what are some good alternatives? >> absolutely. i think parents often feel trapped. they know that smartphones aren't good for kids, but they want their child to be able to stay in touch with them, they want their kids to have friends to be able to talk or text with hair friends and, frankly, hay just feel like smartphones are inevitable. but what many parents don't realize is there are better options and tenderness available, phones like the bark or pin wheel phone that allow kids to talk and text with their parents or friends and even access certain tools like a sports team app or gps for driving but without any of the addictive social media apps, online gaming or internet browsers. and so it's possible for parents

to choose news alternatives -- these alternatives and resist smartphones and go dumb this christmas instead. will: so, claire, here's the challenge. i have two boys in this age range, and while i -- i mean, if anyone should know all the risks and the dangers, it's me. the the compromise on some of those phones, and help me out with this, is that, honestly, they use snapchat. that's how they communicate. they don't use text. they don't text, obviously, they don't e-mail. the gps is nice, i want that, life 360, to find them. how do you get around their using certain apps that aren't like instagram, post your picture, but things like snapchat as their communication mechanism? if. >> yes. this is precisely the challenge for parents, and parents don't want their kids to be the only one left out. will right. >> you've got to find other parents, talk to parents in your school and neighborhood to say, hey, none of us want this for our kids, and let's choose this alternative and tell your kids, hey, you can call and text, you don't have to use the snapchat

app and explain to your kids, this app is bad for you. it's addicting, and it's going to undermine your well-being and mental health if, and so we're choosing this earn the. and as one dad told me, a real friend will find a way to get in touch with you. i'm not saying it's easy, but it is the best choice for our kids and their long-term well-being. and so, parents, we can do this if we work together and parents find each other and opt out together. that is the best way. will: that is -- i think you're right. that's the key. i don't know how -- that's not easy yesterday, but find your social circle pod, all make this decision together. claire morrell, great to have you on "fox & friends." >> thanks for having me. will: more "fox & friends" coming up. ♪ rain dropsen to roses and whiskers on kittens -- ♪ bright couple kettles and warm woolen mittens ♪
