lot of them i can assure you of that president trump is going to work on day one. within seconds of his arrival at the oval office, again. to secure the border, to drill, baby, drill. to expedite permits for drilling and for fracking all over this country. so we can immediately bring down the cost of living here in earthquake in. is he also going to take strong action on the world stage to deter iran, to bring the hostages home. to say end the war in ukraine. he is going to get to work. is he already working as the president-elect. you are seeing that the trump effect is real. the world knows america will be back on january 20th, 2025. >> carley: lots going to be happening today including the first meeting of the house doge conference. briefing on the drone sightings kelly loeffler and r.f.k. capitol hill as well. have a great day. would you like to say it? >> todd: "fox & friends" right now. ♪ ♪

>> brian: all right, it is #:00 a.m. on the east coast, tuesday, december 17th, 8 days to christmas. and this will be "fox & friends" president-elect trump holding press conference with several big moments as tech ceos and other leaders rush to get in his good graces. >> the first term everybody was fighting me. this term everybody wants to be my friend. >> steve: seems like it. plus, the house of representatives doge caucus is going to meet today for the very first time. the pile of government waste that they could look to slash. we're going to talk a little bit about that today. >> ainsley: and one little girl stealing the show -- are you listening to me? >> brian: i'm sorry. >> ainsley: you got hear this. this little girl steals the show at her christmas performance. listen to this. >> my class is really sweet, except one little boy.

[laughter] >> steve: one little boy. >> ainsley: we're going to talk to that little girl and her mom. "fox & friends" is giving her back the microphone. she and her mother are going to join us. you have to stay tuned for that "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: okay. so this hour's lead story on capitol hill today, the house doge conference the department of government efficiency holding first ever meeting with lawmakers. >> ainsley: president-elect donald trump met with tiktok ceo on the chinese ban on the app. if it finds a new parent company. they have a month to do that. >> brian: there are some suiters. peter doocy joins us from washington. peter? >> peter: good morning, the tech ceo with the most to gain from a mar-a-lago meeting with chao chew he runs tiktok and license its chinese owners sell it, tiktok is banned here in the u.s. on january 19th.

on january 20th, can extend the deadline for that sale and it sounds like he is open to it. >> we will take a look at tiktok. i have a warm spot in my heart for tiktok. because i won youth by 34 points. there are those that say that tiktok had something to do with that. tiktok had an impact. and so we're taking a look at it. we won youth. republicans are always 30 points down in youth. >> peter: remember, the tiktok ban had to do with bipartisan concern that the chinese owners are mining data from u.s. users to use for reasons unknown. another very interesting dynamic to consider here. tiktok is a main competitor to x, owned by trump's new pal, elon musk. trump really seems to value musk's opinion on things. we don't know what kind of influence musk has here. musk doge is the talk of the next congress and it victoria spartz from indiana is so moved

by the idea of reforming the federal government that she is going to do just that just doge. she told speaker johnson she does not want to be on any committees anymore. she is not going to participate in anything with the caucus. just doge. spartz says she is still going to be a registered republican but it still could be a real headache for a house speaker mike johnson who just has a one seat majority as is. back to you. >> brian: wow. only because the other seats had to be filled with special elections, right? what do we have? waltz, we have elise stefanik. >> peter: gaetz. >> brian: those three seats it will expand a little bit. >> peter: sounds like there is ways that trump is manipulate the math. he could pull something like gerald moskowitz to run one of the federal agencies here. >> steve: that would be smart. going back to your other topic

today on tiktok. over the last couple of years we have heard about the security concerns and stuff like that. so many lawmakers and a lot of republicans and donald trump himself used tiktok -- and he was talking about it yesterday at mar-a-lago, about how tiktok helped him, he presumed, with young people. is there a possibility they could actually say we know we have been against it for a long time but now, you know what? maybe it's not so bad. >> peter: just depends on who they are listening to. the senator that he wants to be his secretary of state, marco rubio was one of the most anti-tiktok voices in congress over the last couple years the concern shuffling the chairs in the boardroom with a beijing owned parent company is not going to do anything to change the fact that might be mining data data on their phone. passed the bill with bipartisan

majority. as soon as you download it. they can see anything if they want to. that has not changed. >> brian: peter, here's the thing. you have that stealing our data. other thing is the news. most people getting news from tiktok. they have a great algorithm and business plan. try to find pro-israel stories on the timeline on the news feed for tiktok. now, if the tariffs go against china. you watch, slowly but surely, a the loft pro-tariff talk will take a lower profile to the pro-tariff -- to the anti-tariff talk because it goes china. do you want china controlling the number one news feed for the next generation of americans? >> peter: brian, i heard something so interesting. somebody ohio know who works in the intel realm discounted possibility right away that the drones could be controlled by china and the argument was why

would the chinese need surveil the u.s. with drones when they have tiktok. >> steve: they are watching from our pockets. >> ainsley: when interviewing in the green room they can see anything. anything we buy from amazon that's in china they can put devices in it, chips in it, they can put anything in it to spy on us. they know everything that we're doing. including the drones we buy on amazon. yes to all of that and yes to say it would not sit well with a lot of elected republicans. if trump reverses on the tiktok. forcing tiktok to be sold. what are they going to say about it publicly couple months since the election is that he was just elected with a mandate. we need to at least give him a

chance to do things the way that he wants to do. >> brian: all right. thank you, peter. >> ainsley: thank you, peter. >> steve: we have been talking over the last couple of weeks and months now about the mandate but also we are realizing that donald trump is in the midst of a money moon period like we have never seen before. i was looking at morning consult. donald trump hit the highest favorability rating since of 2017. that's right after he took office. a majority of people approve of how he is handling the transition and surveys show that people feel broadly warmer about trump than they did over the last two elections. it's not just the rank and file people. average americans. it's people with the biggest wallets in the world. because they realize, you know, that old expression, if you can't beat them, join them. they might not have voted for him in the past. now they're voting for him by supporting his transition and trying to make it effective

because whatever he does, impacts them. >> ainsley: yesterday, i was -- i filled in on outnumbered. and we were watching this presser of donald trump. it was more than an hour. it was so good. it was his first press conference. >> steve: charming. >> ainsley: it was. first press conference since being elected the second time. he covered so many different topics. from the drones to the ceos that want to meet with him. he talked about how all these ceos and individuals which i think is smart on the ceos part want to come to mar-a-lago and be his friend. listen to this. >> how was your meeting with apple ceo tim cook and did you talk about tariffs in that meeting. >> meeting with who? >> apple meeting with tim cook. >> did i have dinner with tim cook. i had dinner with all of them and the rest are coming. this is one of the big differences between we were talking about it before. one of the big differences between the first term and the

first term everybody was fighting me. in this term everybody wants to be my friend. i don't know, my personality changed or something. i had -- as you know i had sundar from google but i had sergei and we do have jeff bezos, amazon coming in some time during the week. >> brian: and, of course elon musk, another business titan and then you have people like david sacks who is going to be head of -- >> steve: crypto. >> brian: head of crypto and ai. he worked with them the whole time. they definitely have influence they want to say in it. a peer that understands business. starting a series of companies, turning into billion dollars success stories beginning but not ending with paypal. you have people that wants to be a part of it. they don't want to be left out. i also think they want to -- i might be naive. but i also think they want to help the country. they see this as an opportunity to help the country. without being put into

ideological box. because this president is so different than a typical republican or democrat. he splits the issu party on a lf issues. a lot of these titans thought they could do the same thing in 2017. if trump could have won, i could have won. now they are seeing what he has gone through and what he has done. the crowds that he got. the popularity that he has, getting the popular vote and then what he was age to do through being assassinated twice and it you know what? maybe i couldn't have done that maybe dive. in and elon musk, i think, made it cool. >> >> steve: to the point about the honeymoon not only with the americans but also with silicon valley for the most part knocke none of the tech companies supported him. they are realizing the importance of being president of the united states. that is one of the reasons why

these tech companies are now each donating a million dollars to donald trump's inauguration. you have got a million from amazon, a million from meta. open ai sam altman gave a million and so did perplexity. donating to an inaugural fund doesn't really ultimately get you noticed much. but, if you don't donate that get you noticed. why didn't we get any money from these people. they are all giving a million dollars. this time for biden, do you know how much google gave? 300,000. mike soft half a million, amazon about a quarter of a million. so, in other words, they are giving so much more money to donald trump. maybe it's a little penance, maybe they want to have a really big party. >> ainsley: called the inaugural fund what does that money go to. >> steve: pay for the new orleans? >> ainsley: for the senators it's not for the administration just for that night. >> steve: the event.

>> brian: they are still investigating the inaugural fund. remember? >> ainsley: yeah. right. what happened with this? i'm thinking to myself two and a half years later the democrats are doing an investigation where that money is coming from and how it was used. >> ainsley: donald trump also talked about the drone spotting. he says the government knows what is hang. he knows that the military, he says, they know where these drones are taking off and where they are landing. he also talked about softbank and he had the ceo of softbank on at the podium with him which is a japanese investment holding company. they invest in companies that are operating solely in technology and that could be anything from the internet to automation. they plan to invest $100 billion. next four years that is double the amount mr. sun, the man there with him made in 2016. and so he said i'm doubling down and president-elect said well, why don't you double down again and give us $200 million listen to this. it was a cute moment.

>> i'm going to ask him right now, would you make it $200 billion. believe it or not, he could actually afford to do that. [laughter] >> would you do that? >> i will try to make it hand. >> 200. [laughter] >> 200 billion investment. >> he is a great because i say oh, president trump, is he a double down president. i'm going to have to double down, you know? $100 billion and 100,000 jobs. this is my confidence level. because that has doubled down. >> carley: 100,000 jobs in america. does that mean chips? >> steve: it's interesting. in 2016, when he said he was going to invest 50 billion and create 50,000 jobs. something like that. some start up. some of them surge like uber,

door dash happened brand new developing industries. ai. and ai infrastructure. in other words, the things that make the power and the infrastructure and the grid to allow ai to work. that's where the money is, they think. >> so the president is going to be. executive orders. he knows what he wants to do in 30 plus days when he gets in there trying to get nominees across the finish line. people notice the different tone they're taking. tone in politico note worthy. from big tech to the media, the rush to kiss trump's ring is on. i think and i had a chance to talk to him on saturday. i asked him, you know, what is your take on this? why do you think they need to talk to you? they want to know what is going on? how do you feel? i will see anybody but i'm not going to forget. the thing is i would love for him to do this. mark zuckerberg i understand you feel bad about what happened you want to be part of the new

administration, appreciate that just allow matt tiberiasy, bari weiss, michael shellenberger to go look at the facebook files like elon musk let me look at the twitter files. i need to find out what you were up to with the pandemic exactly what you were up to make sure i didn't win the last election. if you don't involved, we want to find out who was involved. you have to show me you fixed it. at first you have to identify it. then i will -- maybe i will have additional trust with you. >> steve: well, right now, people are trusting him because those polls that i cited earlier, people are trusting that this transition is going to be smooth. and that he e.p.a., a majority americans hope that he is successful. >> ainsley: i think like you, brian. call us naive. just give him aens that. you know, we want the best for this uncan tri. >> steve: we are the country. >> ainsley: we are the country. i really definitely believe that god intervened in some of this. that god is protecting our

country enemy ways bringing people together. bringing ceos together who are very successful billionaires and all working together. i have never seen anything like this. >> brian: right. >> ainsley: hopefully they will give him a chance and it will be smooth sailing throughout this administration. >> steve: from smooth selling rocky evening. >> ainsley: chaos erupting it he chicago city council meeting as the whoas continue to get worse under the democratic mayor brandon johnson. >> brian: todd piro has the story. todd? >> todd: the council meeting got ugly. they narrowly approved mayor johnson's 2025 budget which includes controversial $40 million short-term loan for a city already swimming in debt. all part of a chaotic hearing last night. got so heated, mayor johnson actually kicked out the public. watch. [shouting] >> this will meeting will stay in recess. i will ask the arms clear every member of the public. >> one of the main reasons

residents are so upset is the democratic mayor's lack of transparency when it comes to using taxpayer funds to take care of illegal immigrants. under mayor johnson, chicago has already spent a whopping 527 million taxpayer dollars on the tens of thousands of illegal immigrants living there still, the city alderman just barely approving mayor johnson's proposal yesterday with a 27-23 vote. chicago reporter william kelly was in that budget meeting. spoke to me earlier. about the disconnect between city leaders and the residents of chicago. >> these are real chicagoans. they made their voices heard. they made it clear. they don't trust brandon johnson, mayor johnson with 50 cents. they know is he going to spend that money on migrants and violent teenagers. brandon johnson says it himself. >> remains to be seen if this most recent plan for mayor johnson will be able to put any

sort of dent in the city's nearly $1 billion budget gap. back over to you. >> steve: todd, thank you very much. one of the other things mayor johnson has lost so much political capital. he originally wanted to increase property taxes to the tune of $300 million to pay for the stuff like the migrants that they don't have the money for. he wanted 300 million. the city wouldn't give it to him. the council. then he said okay, i will take 70. i will take $70 million. the council said no and then yesterday, okay, let's not raise property taxes at all. it's zero. that's how effective he is. >> ainsley: i don't know why he isn't listening to his constituents. i know he got the votes because he has friends on the city council with him. when you have the whole room, the majority of the room yelling at you telling him to give us the money and not illegal immigrants. we know what happened in virginia when they stopped listening to parents. >> brian: he won't kick out

criminals. keep in mind the small number compared to what new york city has had to deal with over 150 million have come through here. we still got about 55 million still living here. it's costing us billions of dollars. they have 527 million that they spent there which is small for a city that size. i mean and they still can't handle it, because they have had terrible fiscal policies leading up to this. i just think, too. this is also an opportunity for republicans to get in there. let your voices be heard. they are singing your song. this is what you have been saying. let people know that they have an option for another party and another policy. remember, he -- in a run off election he was a distant second. the other guy was going to be pro-police. even though democrat. and he was going to be fiscal responsibility. somehow he ends up winning. and then look, this is what you get. >> steve: tom homan told us last week that the city where deportations are going to start in a large way first, chicago. all right. speaking of chicago.

carley has ties to the windy city, she joins us now. >> carley: update on the murder of the healthcare ceo happening today. united healthcare ceo suspect luigi mangione is due in court. sources say he could waive extradition from pennsylvania where he was arrested to new york. this comes as we learn mangione has reportedly received 150 deposits into his commissary account along with more than two dozen emails. the money can be used to buy items including food, drinks, and clothing while in lockup. two iranian men have been arrested for allegedly stealing u.s. technology for iranian drones. one of them is a dual citizen while the other arrested in italy. the drones traced it to one of the suspect's companies which supplies iran's revolutionary guard out of its tehran headquarters. those iranian drones killed three u.s. service members in a

strike in jordan. back in january. and happening today on capitol hill, the biden administration will brief the house intelligence committee on the mysterious drone sightings. as the federal government continues to down play them. despite widespread public concern. >> assessment is that this is lawful, legal, commercial, ohio hobbyist and law enforcement activity. some manned and some unmanned. we absolutely acknowledge a lot of these are probably drones but flying legally. >> carley: today's briefing is planned for 2:00 p.m. eastern time and will include testimony by the fbi and the cia. the judge in president-elect trump's new york trial rejecting his request to dismiss the charges brought against him by manhattan d.a. alvin bragg on the basis of presidential immunity. judge juan merchan saying the evidence presented in the trial was related, quote, entirely to

unofficial conduct and thus received no immunity protection. trump is pushing to dismiss the case all together but merchan has not yet ruled on that motion. and those are your headlines, guys. >> brian: they are still actually appealing his conviction. >> carley: correct. >> steve: it's still there. >> brian: they can't say convicted felon until he is sentenced and the sentence has been put off, i guess, four years. >> steve: until he is sentenced. >> ainsley: thanks, carley. >> steve: meanwhile on this tuesday joe biden facing growing backlash after commuting the sentence of that pennsylvania judge convicted of funneling juveniles to jailing in exchange for millions of dollars of kickbacks to the judge. ones he . but when it comes to caring for his teeth

>> ainsley: we are back with a fox news alert. police have identified a 15-year-old girl as the shooter who opened fire on a wisconsin christian school yesterday. >> steve: what an awful story. brooke singman is here with the very latest. brooke? >> yeah, guys, the shooting left one teacher and one student dead and six others hurt. a shooter who was a student at the school also died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. deputies arrived on the scene

just three minutes 911. police revealing who made that call. listen. >> a second degree student called 911. to report a shooting had occurred at school. let that soak in for a minute. a second grade student. >> two of the six who were hurt are now fighting for their lives in critical condition. crowds of people gathered for a candle lit vigil last night and flags in the state were ordered to fly at half-staff for the rest of the week. through it all the school's director says they are keeping faith. >> we also have a very strong faith in our community that in spilt of tragedy god is working. and we believe god is good in everything. he turns beauty from ashes. i had a number of families mentioned that to me this wasn't a surprise to god and he is going to do something mighty with it. we are holding on to those words and believe and trust in him. >> police searched the suspect's

home following the shooting as investigators still try piece together a motive here. the father is said to be croontding. and school officials have not decided if class also start up again this week. guys? >> steve: terrible story. all right. thank you very much, brooke. >> it's shocking. would don't see that. >> you don't see that very often. first one with a girl involved. and i never remember hearing about one any year. a school shooter being a female? we had that trans situation. >> ainsley: in nashville. >> steve: in nashville. >> ainsley: there is a lot to learn. all the information it takes a few days. everything kind of slowly unfolds in these situations because it involves kids and schools. >> steve: and the news that she

just that the family is cooperating with investigators. so maybe we will know what exactly was going on. >> brian: significant. the last two families i think have been indicted for allowing their kid to have a gun or playing a role or looking the other way. >> steve: because it was their gun. i don't even think we know whose gun it is yet. so stay tuned the investigation not even 24 hours old. meanwhile, you know, last week we told you about what day woke up and joe biden has commuted or pardoned 1500 people the biggest number ever in the history of the world. now people are starting to look at some of the people that he pardoned or he granted clemency to one person really angering people at dixon illinois comptroller there she is rita crumb well she essentially elm beveled $54 million, you know, that is not a very big town, dixon, illinois. it is probably the largest municipal fraud in american

history. what she did in 1990, she opened the city account and then deposited public funds for her own use for 20 years. what was she doing? she had a quarter horse operation. a breeding operation. she had some real estate things. all financed by public money and she went to jail. she was sentenced to 20 years in jail. served 8 and a half years. but then, during covid. she was released to home confinement. and then as it turns out, joe biden granted her clemency and people are really steamed. >> ainsley: she has known for that period of time in her life when no one knew she was embezzling money one of the quarter horse breeding operation unless our country. she went on to have 52 world champion horses. that were sold from her breeding operation. so, she was very successful. using tax payroll dollars. >> steve: funny how that works. >> ainsley: how do you embezzling that much money before getting caught? >> steve: she was good at it

apparently. >> ainsley: she was the treasurer too, yeah. >> steve: here is somebody the city manage from her dixon talking about how having joe biden commute her sentence bad thing. >> at her sentencing, on february 14th, 2013, judge ryan holt said that a significant prison sentence was essential to reestablish public trust and confidence. what we have seen unbelievable and really a complete betrayal by the federal criminal justice system. we're shocked, outraged, angered, disbelief, again, betrayal. >> this is a complete disservice to all the victims of her crime and quite frankly, to the sang tease and trust of the criminal justice system. >> >> brian: you know that judge biden is not 1500 cases i don't know how he has written 1500 words for ear year.

where is he going today? he is flying home. so where is this coming from? >> ainsley: he must mow know her or have connection to her. >> brian: 1500 beam. who made up that list? doesn't he understand blow back and other people that want a future in pennsylvania and these various states? >> >> most people don't know 1500 criminals. >> brian: or even just reviewed cases. >> steve: their lawyers reach out they want clemenciy and things like that. joe biden who always calls himself scranton joe he would know about the judge in pennsylvania. we highlighted this guy yesterday michael conahan. he was convicted. he was in the scandal called kids for cash. remember, he was essentially received $2 million in kickbacks for putting kids who, according to many, should have simply gotten a warning or community service. he put them in for-profit jails. and wound up getting $2 million. one of the kids that he

sentenced was a kid named eddie. and his mom sandy was on with us yesterday. edward committed suicide after being in that jail where the guy who sentenced him was getting kickbacks to keep the kids in prison. >> brian: very minor. >> ainsley: he was at a high school party and kids were drinking thereunder age party. detention center for juveniles, i believe. the child eddie was put in this facility for 8 months. and his mom said he came home, wouldn't look her in the eye. refused to go to counseling. she has no idea what happened to him when he was in that facility. but she said something changed about him. first of all, he should have gotten community supervisors. if even that. maybe a lecture from mom and dad because many people in my high school were at parties with

alcohol. you know, no one went to prison for eight months. then he ended up committing suicide after those 8 months. here was his mom on with a great interview steve conducted yesterday. >> i was filled with every kind of emotion he or she defeat now that i have had more time to process it. it's more of anger. and just, you know, a whole -- it's just very -- this is very deeply upsetting and personal. he ruined my son's life. my life. he ruined multiple lives there are so many kids that have lost their life, not just my son. joe biden came here and campaigned multiple, multiple times that he was, you know, joe scranton. he was one of us. he knew of our struggles and he cared about our community and our kids and our families. and that is just absolutely not true. he is not one of us.

there needs to be reform of how the overseeing of how these applicants are chosen for these pardons. >> steve: you would think that joe biden would remember that particular case from pennsylvania that impacted so many families. >> brian: governor shapiro brought it up. he is getting backlash from his own party. people have no problems taking him on now. only going to get worse. just wait. is he going to go crazy because he is angry at his party. is he angry at his country. he does not have anything to lose. no biden to save. coming up crooks scamming americans with card draining. the new gift card warnings ahead of christmas.

christmas. >> how many times have you seen a display like that at your grocery store? apparently now thieves are taking note of card numbers and pin codes and they are stealing them before money is loaded on to them. and this scheme called card draining cost americans nearly $217 million last year. >> this is a survey shows 44% of consumers plan to give gift cards this year. here to help us on this "tech tuesday" is kurt the cyberguy. kurt. i have got one of those displays in my grocery store. all the bad guys have to do is put a bunch of them in their pocket. walk out. go home, scrape off the pin numbers and then what happens? >> well, you can't even tell. you can't even tell that they have manipulated these. good morning to you, steve. >> steve: good morning. >> your beautiful wife kathy could be getting you a gift card at the store. they are everywhere. no matter what town you are in. you walk into the store and it's frankly honestly, i love giving gift cards.

i love getting gift cards. it seems like you are giving a better gift because they get to pick what they really want. so, we go for it and we grasp it. the problem is, until a new law kicks in next year in june. these are likely and could be in many cases really tampered with so that when you go and it's embarrassing. you have given this card to somebody. they go and thinking my gosh steve was generous $200 gift card. you go to use it and that says zero. that's because a scammer has preregistered the card. taken the money as soon as they were notified money put on when you went to the register. cashed is worthless. only one winning here is a scammer. law coming out in june going to make it a lot harder former chants to sell cards that can be tampered with target and a story you shared with me was interesting. they are now going to take a sticker that essentially gives that you authentication code on the back and only put it on the

card in the future on the back of the card at the time someone purchases the card. it's going to thwart these thieves. >> steve: so the way i described it. somebody goes, in steals a bunch of these cards and goes home and scrapes off the numbers, and then puts them back on the stand at the grocery store or wherever you see those things. but, because they have scraped off the number to get the authentication pin number, you know, you would be able to see, kurt, that somebody scraped that off but they are using something like whiteout or nail polish or something to make it look like it's been covered, right? >> to you and i if we were to take this card that was tampered with and look at it, it would not look tampered with. so they have gotten masterful at it. yeah, it could be nail polish, might be whiteout. we might notice go to scrape it not like a lottery scratch off get a card for the first time and access the back of the card to scrape to get a number to authentic it.

until this really changes, we will have to watch out. don't go to stores -- don't go online to buy a gift card from a third party you have never heard of. that right there is trouble. you are asking for. number two, just when you go to buy a card and i'm not saying they are all tampered with but look at it really really carefully. and then get that receipt when you are at the store. by the way, six of the biggest holiday shopping scams we're watching out for at, where? cyberguy.com. >> steve: i go to cyberguy all the time cyberguy. go to it's where i get all my tech stuff on tuesday. kurt, thank you very much for joining us live. >> you're the best. >> steve: now are the best. thank you for getting up early. one 4-year-old girl made the most of her school's christmas performance with a now viral moment. she and her mother coming up
