"fox & friends" begins right now. have a great monday, everybody. ♪

>> steve: good morning, everybody. it is 6:00 here in new york city it is currently absolutely lousy outside. 3 # degrees. it's kind of rainy, sleeting, snowing, but it's the monday of december 16th. not too far away from christmas. 9 days to the big day. welcome to "fox & friends." president-elect trump meeting with major tech ceos after receiving a huge welcome at the army navy game in maryland. >> chanting u.s.a. >> 14 #th contest between army and navy. >> plus, r.f.k. jr. is set to meet with senators on the hill this week as hundreds of medical professionals are backing him in his quest to make america healthy again. >> and regifting. a christmas present taboo is that a taboo.

>> label maker. >> yes it is i gots it a gift. >> i go got it for tim whatley as a gift. >> who sent that you one. >> one tim whatley. >> steve: tim? >> ainsley: do you like to regift? >> lawrence: if you are not going to use it give to someone else who is. >> steve: you might get one for christmas. >> lawrence: "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: all right. meanwhile, take a look at that right there. president-elect donald trump got a warm welcome over the weekend at the army-navy game in land rover, maryland. >> ainsley: it comes ahead of a big week for the president-elect as he meets with a few tech giants. >> lawrence: and on capitol hill r.f.k. will begin confirmation meetings this week. peter doocy joins us live from washington with the details. hey, peter. >> peter: good morning. we got a list of 25 senators. r.f.k. jr. plans to meet with on capitol hill this week. is he, of course, part of the most famous family of democrats in our nations' history. yet, none of these 25 senators

are democrats. instead the strategy for the transition team seems to be shore up the right flank. minimize republican defections and try to keep the focus on improvements to things like the food supply and not on past controversial statements about fancies that would be unhelpful during a confirmation. while officials are going through the consent and advise into a box that the president-elect two miles away a fedex deal saturday spotted with tulsi gabbard and pete hegseth and ron desantis widely reported as the defense secretary backup if the hegseth pic doesn't make it. daniel penny was in there, too, less than a week after a jury that could have sent him to jail didn't. and then a few hundred miles south,tech billionaires keep popping up at mar-a-lago hoping for trump's blessing for various

projects. sundar pichai the google leader was just down. jeff bezos expected down there soon. they are both going to want their hands in which regulations the next president puts on or doesn't put on ai and space projects. back to you. >> steve: peter, normally so unusual to see you at the bureau where i think technically do you have a desk, right? >> i'm here so little and chad pergram is here so little that we share a desk. it is very dusty. and we both have a lot of mail. chad, i will be reading it all today. >> ainsley: lot of christmas cards there. >> ainsley: how does the confirmation process work? that won't start until after the inauguration, right? >> peter: these senators would consider it starting right now because of the all advise and consent they want to talk to everybody. the confirmation hearings won't start until right after the inauguration. they will figure out which positions have the priority to go first. usually it's the national

security one that go first. like the first day or the second 2k5eu69 new term. and tend to go pretty quickly. and then they will go from there. so technically it's got a couple weeks to go. it is underway this week. >> steve: peter, you were talking about all the tidal wave of tech people going down to mar-a-lago and when not. just kind of a sign that so many people are going down to palm beach it is impossible to get a room for like 5 or # hundred bucks a hotel room. >> drop a pen and look at stuff 15 to 20 miles. be lucky any day of the week to get something for less than 600 bucks pretty much everybody who has a business is trying to be a guest of somebody at mar-a-lago just to shake his hand and be

able to go and tell their workers. i talked to him. we are going to be fine for four years. >> ainsley: how many bedrooms do you have? can we stay at your house inauguration we can't get a hotel room? >> peter: at my house? there is a soft carpet in the basement. [laughter] >> steve: brand new carpet. i have seen it. all right, peter. thank you very much. >> ainsley: thank you, peter. >> lawrence: wee do expect some of the cabinet members to be confirmed before, you know the process because the congress gets seated january the 3rd. that's the before the president is sworn. in marco rubio who already has bipartisan support probably will be confirmed by then. i have been so surprised by the democrats. they have allowed donald trump to completely sweep the culture. you have yacht the union workers. have you got some of the people that were a part of the democratic coalition. now you have got him at the army navy game and although there were some democrats, like wes

moore who is a rising star governor of maryland. when it comes to the leadership of the democratic party. they just yielded to donald trump and all of his appointments, and they just took over that arena. >> ainsley: navy won 31-13. donald trump was in the box. daniel penny, j.d. vance, you see him there the speaker behind the president, tumg, pete hegseth, elon musk, a lot of important people in there. >> steve: donald trump has attended each year of his presidency. he also won in 2020. and, you know, i don't think there has ever been such a sky box filled with powerful people than there were saturday in land rover because you can see screen left right there. the speaker of the house, the speaker elect. the vice president elect. behind there, isn't that the richest man in the world? isn't that elon musk right back there looking down at the football game thinking how can i electrify things here? how can i make things more efficient? what an amazing event.

and, you know, jurps the fact that while donald trump is basking in the add d.o. ration of so many people and they did burst into u.s.a., u.s.a. a number of times, but just to have this before he starts. i think people are appreciative of the fact that he is going to get stuff done and things are going to change. >> ainsley: brian was talking about going to the game on friday. he did go. i saw on instagram the pictures he was in the box next to this box and ended up talking to the president -- or president-elect. >> lawrence: a lot of stars there. it shows you there is a new day in the country right now. it's going to be a lot of the meetings today because you have r.f.k. expected to be on capitol hill this week to have meetings. is he part of this probably the load of making america healthy again. he promised this, donald trumps the president-elect have r.f.k. somewhere in the administration.

not only did he janette nesheiwat, dr. marty makary, those on the frontline not only during the covid epidemic and what you should know, but this new initiative of getting rid of toxins and really evaluating our food, ainsley. >> ainsley: a lot of people are excited about. this go to other countries, everything is fresh. everything is healthy. don't gain weight if you some of these foods eat in america you gain easily. >> steve: i want some of that ains ains the pasta, the pizza if you go to italy. he is saying he wants to make our food healthier for our kids. that's why some children have chronic diseases and why people are getting sick earlier. you hear about 20-year-olds getting cancer now. >> steve: you just sought big board with all the republican senators that r.f.k. jr. is going to meet this week. and keep in mind, he is a democrat. going to be meeting with all

these republicans and seem to be all on board. meet with the majority leader john thune and senator majority whip john barrasso. what is interesting is 800 medical professionals have signed a letter and endorsed r.f.k. jr. because -- and one -- they have written this letter. one of the people who signed it said this: currently, america's so-called healthy life expectancy, we rank 67th in the world while americans pay almost twice as much for healthcare per person as the citizens of other wealthy nations. why is it so upside down? we should have the healthiest people. we should have the healthiest food. we should have the greatest insurance and we don't that's on the agenda for r.f.k. jr. if is he confirmed. look at that. >> lawrence: combat the chronic disease epidemic, eliminate the toxins from food, water and air.

support sustainable farming and chemical usage. want to restore natural ecosystems ensure that regulatory cities act in public interest. one of the big things he has been discussing is taking on big pharma that is going to be one of the hardest obstacles in this best lobbying firms, they have so much money to put pressure on congress, put pressure on the senate to say we do not want r.f.k. but it looks made the case of the president. got elected as a result of that one of the issues. he has to make congress see that vision when he is up there on the capital this week. i'm sure there out in your neighborhood people in new jersey this weekend were talking about all the drones, weren't they? >> steve: i was in new jersey, i was also in florida. everybody in florida is talking

about drones. my sister called me from ohio the other day she said did you see a drone? are you seeing drones? i said i'm looking at a pams palm tree right now. there you can see some of the -- senator andy kim who is a democrat went out drone. sing this things, he said, he realized that possible drone sightings people have had in the past are almost certainly all airplane. so that seems to be one of the things. people so he a light in the sky and they think well, you know, that's a drone. well, here's the thing. they changed the law in the lapse year or so so drones can fly at night. that's why there are so many more sightings that's one of the things mayorkas said yesterday on ax. >> in september of 2023, the

federal aviation administration, the faa changed the rules so that drones could fly at night. that may be one of the reasons now people are seeing more drones than they did before, especially from dawn to dusk. so that is the reality. it is our job to be judge lent in the federal government state and local partners and we can ensure their safety by reason of that vigilance. deployed personnel, technology and if there is any reason for concern, if we identify any foreign involvement or criminal activity we will communicate with the american public accordingly. right now, we are not aware of any if why become aware of any, we will communicate accordsly and take appropriate action. lawrence lawrence they are guessing right now and that's such nonsense answer. the deregulation when it comes to flying -- that and over a

year ago. you mean to tell me that happened over a year ago all the drone operators decided to send all their drones across the country into the air at the same time at night? that makes absolutely zero sense. >> ainsley: he says there are 8,000 drones flown every day in the united states. kathy hochul our governor here wants the power to deal directly with the drones. chuck schumer wants special drone protection technology. it doesn't sound like they know who owns these drones, where they're coming from or if they do they're not telling us. chris christie former governor. say they are flying over his house. and he ripped into the administration for allowing the conspiracy theories to fill the space. listen to. this two mornings ago over my house at 6:15 in the morning saw them myself, so did my wife. so yeah, they are there i have been traveling around new jersey. i can't tell you the number of people tell me they're

concerned. this is the first time i have noticed drones over my house. i was in a restaurant in monmouth county on friday night. people at the bar coming up to me and saying governor murphy won't tell me anything. the president went tell me anything. do you know? well, i don't know. but i will tell you this: i think this is what happens in our society now, george. because we are used to having things so rapidly, if you don't fill that vacuum then all the conspiracy theories. you can't have conspiracy theorists filling the space. will the administration has to be more vocal and let people know exactly what they are doing. >> steve: he is absolutely right. it took a long time before mayorkas came out and said you know what? we think a lot of those are illegal drones. they changed the law. i was talking to somebody in federal law enforcement yesterday. they said and this makes a lot of sense, almost everything that you see in the night sky is

either actual airplane or drone hobbyist drone. over the last week or so because people have heard there are drones flying everywhere, people with drones are now putting their drones in the sky to go look for the other drones that's why we have seen avalanche of things. according to andy kim, most those things that he is looking at right there are actual airplanes, but to chris christie's point, unless the government commentsth comes out and says okay, this is everything we know rather than being vague people start making up stories and people wear tin hats. >> lawrence: the fact people are putting their own drones up trying to get get to the bottom. whenever the government leads a void of information. people fill in the blanks with things that sometimes aren't accurate. i continue to say this for them

to say they don't know where the drones come from or who owns the drone, yet they are able to say there is no threat, that makes zero sense they got to come up either it's incompetence or they aware what the drone is and allowing them to be operating. it can't be both also in other news the united healthcare ceo murder, there is new information of luigi mangione, the guy who was accused of killing the ceo. he could be in court as soon as tomorrow for extradition hearing trying to get him back here to new york there are several defense funds created online by anonymous people raises money for him one of these sites has raised $100,000 on give, send, go. and they call this group the december 4th legal committee which is the day that luigi mangione allegedly shot and killed brian thompson. >> it's interesting. because go fund me, people tried to start some defends fund for

him on go fund me. no, not able to do it. this other outfit. they put out some statements and explained why it is still up one of the things they said we don't celebrate violence. this is one of the people who donated money to his legal defense fund. we don't celebrate violence but we believe in constitutional right to fair and legal representation. one supporter who called himself a frustrated citizen thanked mangione for parking the aswearness across the nation. >> lawrence: any time after you say something rye dickless you know it's a problem. i'm not suggesting anyone should called any harm to anyone but i do want people to know who is making their life hard are, who is stealing from them. who is decide nag a couple more percentage life is worth more than the loved ones.

evan shocked why the reaction. >> ainsley: i am, too. a father, christmastime worked fairly hard become the ceo of healthcare company. my money is not going to any of these funds. >> steve: take a look at the cover of "the new york post." the headline is whacked apparently comrade james carr he is plan position sell a deck of cards ever most wanted ceos with names and faces this is incredible. >> ainsley: just wrong. we have seen a lot of professors come out as well teaching next generation. behind the kids who support

hamas threaten bernie sanders and aoc part of the same group. this is what the senator had to-to-say about the ceo. >> what i think has happened in the last few months is that what have you seen rising up is people's anger at a health insurance industry which denies people the healthcare that they desperately need while they make billions and billions of dollars in profit so killing anybody, shooting somebody in the back who is a father of two is outrageous. it is unacceptable. nobody. nobody should applaud it. i know senator warren did not. i think what we need to ask ourselves, when we talk about healthcare is, why we are the only major country on earth not to guarantee healthcare to all people. why we have a life expectancy significantly lower than in other countries. why working class people die five to 10 people shorter than

the people on top. >> steve: you are hearing that a lot. we do not ever suggest violence. but, when you look at the merck system in the united states, you understand the frustration. they are almost suggesting although he says he is not. if you look -- listen to what he had to say. >> ainsley: bernie? >> lawrence: bernie. outrage for the system was more than the condemnation of the people that have been calling for the death of not only this ceo but all of them. if you go online and you see this whole group of people so, some that are celebrates as well that are certainly justifies the death. what i worry about and i said this from the very beginning there is a lot of americans that have grievances with the healthcare system and if you get a jury -- it's about people. if you hone in on that there a

potential this guy could goat off. all he needs is one juror to sympathize with his cause and have you got a hung jury. >> apparently he has hired a great attorney. >> lawrence: yes. used to work for cnn. >> steve: he is going to have a vigorous defense. >> ainsley: i read in the "new york post" his grandmother. didn't the family inherit $30 million. he has the money to cover. >> steve: did i not read that. >> ainsley: cover his attorney fees. 20 minutes after the top of the hour. turning to headlines. dramatic video the moment barista prevents a would be thief trying to steal a customer's backpack in san francisco on friday. the barista wrestling the man down on the ground until the police arrived. suspect around on suspicion of attempted robbery, using tear gas and violating probation, the chief's quest for history may be in jeopardy. quarterback patrick mahomes taking a nasty hit during yesterday's win over the

an engraved thing is hard to regift. >> ainsley: if it says lawrence,. >> lawrence: luxury gift and people care i think can you give that away, too. like something you are not going to use. gift aren't supposed to be trophies. you just don't want something collecting dust. give to somebody who needs it. >> gift box full of food that i don't ever eat. i'm going to give to somebody today. i'm going to tell them. >> ainsley: i got one of those too. somebody here at fox? >> steve: this actually come from people we donate money to. they sent it and we love it but we're not going to eat it, so we might as well share it. but with the caveat. i'm going to say we got this and we don't partake. >> ainsley: you're too southern to do this. >> ainsley: i give gifts i want

to receive. if it's a gift that you receive grateful but not not love it. i don't know if you want to regift thatment. >> lawrence: you don't regift? lawrence. >> steve: i don't want things to go to a waste. >> ainsley: somebody comes to my dinner party and bring a bottle of wine. sometimes if i'm going to deigner party i will grab a bottle of wine out of the cabinet that's regifting. i'm not. >> steve: friends at foxnews.com. perhaps we will share some of your stories a little later on. >> lawrence: white house under scrutiny with the drone debate unanswered. how it serves final reminder of biden's you don't need to know presidency. that's next. he best holiday tradition is taking your tradition to the next level. ♪ pr

knowing what gigantic things floating in the sky are a low bar for president of the united states. they can't seem to meet that and then kirby and mayorkas come out and say well, we don't know what this is but we're pretty sure it's safe. as you pointed out, lawrence, that doesn't even make any sense. but the biggest problem is why would we believe them either way at this point? as you just showed in that monday teenage, they have lied to us about everything. they clearly don't think that the american people need to know any of this stuff. we're just supposed to trust that they are very smart people and they know what they are doing. but we don't. and that's why they are not going to be in the white house on january 21st. >> lawrence: david, you have been doing this a little bit. i guess the question is is this pure incompetence? like they don't know what it is. or is this one of the cases of, they know exactly what it is but they just don't want to let us know what it is? >> well, again, we can't know that right? and the trust has been completely blown.

i think about, you know, incoming press secretary karoline leavitt who i think has done a very good job with the campaign. she has enormous opportunity but also an enormous responsibility when she takes over this job, because, if we can't believe the press secretary and clearly at this point we can't, i blown, karine jean-pierre should have resigned. >> lawrence: she is done. >> ridiculous she is still at that podium. if we can't trust them. then it doesn't matter if they know or not. i really hope that this incoming administration takes that to heart. no more nonsense about crowd size and just tell us the truth. it's what you were elected for and what the american people want. >> lawrence: you point to another issue. because they are going to to have a great responsibility. there has been so many scandals in this past administration. just because they leave office doesn't mean that the scandal goes away. they are going to have to present -- this is not targeting your political opponents. but there are still answers to basic things. i mean, i'm sure this drone

situation is not going to be resolved before january 20th. we need answers to what's happening with the drones, with the fbi, things that are happening in our government agencies, targeting, you know, school board moms. and the ideal that it just goes away just because a new administration takes office is laughable. >> i think that's exactly right. i think it can go back to covid. we still haven't had a full accounting of the lockdowns. we really haven't. i'm hopeful that with r.f.k. jr. and with the people coming in we will get that you are absolutely right. there has been no accountability for this administration whatsoever. >> yeah. a new day is coming. and it can't get here soon enough. david, thanks so much is for joining the program. >> thanks for having me. >> you got it. buy now, pay later is more popular than ever. big tech bending the knee of trump's white house return. the rush to get in his good

seeing. >> increase 500 percent in children ages 10 to 14. 333% among teenagers age 15 to 19. and 185% among young adults ages 20 to 24. dr. siegel, i have never heard of a child having colon cancer but according to these numbers, it's happening that's because of the seed oil? what are the symptoms? what do we do? how do we know -- what are the symptoms of colon cancer. >> first of all, when you see it in a real young person, it's genetic something they have a predisposition for and you need to know about that in advance. any kind of changes in bowel habits or bloating or that kind of symptom is what we are on the lookout for. we are screening people younger and younger. but i don't want to scare people and think we are seeing a lot of it in that young. seeing it in people around 40 and 50 which we didn't see it before. coming down earlier when we are screening people in the colon. any change in bowel habits is

what we're looking for. cconstipation and diarrhea. >> ainsley: insurance will cover if you have to get checked before the age of 40 or whatever if you have a history of it check with your doctor. >> exactly or family history. >> ainsley: dr. siegel, the u.k. expanded ban on pursuant blockers for people under the age of 18. when it comes to to the medical world is that a good decision? >> yes. i think we can learn from that because here's the headline, ainsley. they have been studying it for a year. doing studies saying denmark and france and sweden, it's banned. what about us in the u.k.? they did a study which showed that using pursuant blockers actually increases the risk of mental health problems versus decreases it. which was the dogma that was floated around. everybody says people that are gender dysphoria feel better they found the opposite. sticking to it and making it permanent. now we have got battles going on in the united states around. this 26 states trying to impose

bans. i don't like the idea at all of intervening with children. a lot of times it's parental pressure and politically motivated rather than medically. i say we support mental health and we let kids figure out where they are as they get older. really much matter is. >> ainsley: is it reversible if a child changes its mind later on in life? >> well, you know, pursuant pubertyblockers impact growth bd how is sturdy your bones are and also i'm saying mental health. some of this is not reversible. obviously surgical changes are not reversible. i don't think we should be super imposing this on kids. we should listen to our kids but not super impose ideology. some of it is not reversible. >> ainsley: dr. siegel, thank you so much for coming on. >> great to see you, ainsley. happy medical monday. >> ainsley: yes, sir. hand it over to steve for more headlines. >> steve: i do, indeed. experts say the spread of bird

flu is causing the cost of eggs to rise again. higher costs expected to persist into the new year. we have seen egg prices alone increase over 8% in the month of november. while wholesale egg prices jump nearly 55% last month. also, british pubbing are worried they are going to start running out of guinness, the classic irish brew has skyrocketed in popularity over the last few years. specifically with young people and more women. sales of guinness kegs in the u.k. increasing by more than 20% over the summer now considered the top-selling beer in the united kingdom by volume according to nielsen data. those are some of your headlines. more "fox & friends" ahead. but, first, a great big thank you to our partner bass pro shops for styling our "fox & friends" studio for the entire month of december. beginning to feel a lot like christmas, isn't it?
