or maybe that would be insulting to people too. maybe to that poor woman. >> you don't have to worry about a letter writing campaign because they clearly don't have the willpower to follow through but we need to do something because the fat stuff comes with health complications and i am proof that bullying and fat shaming works. i was like 300 pounds as a kid but i got called a slob every day and i at least learned to have some self-respect. >> laura: do we have a picture of jimmy? darn. first of all i don't believe it. i don't believe you are that big. will you bring a picture next week? >> i ou this, it's a least i can do. >> laura: or in the new year? that will be my new year's gift. always great to see you, have a great christmas. that's it for us tonight, make sure to follow me on social media. that means instagram and

as joe biden seems to be disappearing from the public stage as his term comes to an end, it does sort of feel like trump is the current president on the world stage of the domestic stage. >> technically, we have a few more days before that. you're watching fox and friends first here on a wednesday morning. i am todd and i'm carley shimkus. >> let's start with brooke singman on the deal to potentially avoid that government shutdown on friday. good morning brooke.

>> good morning guys. that's right. so lawmakers have to move quickly to pass the massive funding bill that would fund the government through march 14th, but they have to do so by friday to avoid the government shutdown deadlines. so the 1500 page bill also includes a whopping $100 billion for disaster and emergency funding, a health care package and a one year extension of the farm bill. but some republicans aren't too happy with it. watch. >> the swamp is going to swamp, right? we're just fundamentally unserious about spending. and as long as you got a blank check, you can't shrink government. if you can't shrink government, you can't live free. it's a total dumpster fire. >> i think it's garbage. this is what washington, d.c. has done. this is why i ran for congress to try to stop this. and sadly, this is happening again. >> and speaking of excessive government spending, the doge caucus had its first meeting on capitol hill yesterday to discuss their plans for cutting spending at the federal level. so doge co-chairs elon musk and vivek ramaswamy have revealed their plans for the department, which includes cutting up to $2

trillion from the federal budget by slashing costly programs. they also hope to send remote employees back to work and cut federal regulations. the doge caucus is set to meet again next month. guys. >> all right, brooke singman live for us. brooke, thank you so much. congresswoman claudia tenney attended that first doge caucus meeting. she's going to tell us about trimming the fat and what she thinks the first target should

based on my experience is that those that are over our military sites are adversarial and most likely are coming from the people's republic of china. communist china is very good at this stuff, and we know they bought land around military bases. this would be very consistent with their policy over the last couple of years. >> but a new jersey mayor, one of them, thinks there might be a link between the drones and radioactive material that has gone missing. >> in my opinion, they're looking for something. what might they be looking for? well, potentially, we're aware of a threat that came in

through port newark. maybe that's radioactive material. there was. and there is an alert that's out right now. that radioactive material in new jersey has gone missing. >> still, many lawmakers left yesterday's classified briefing still insisting that there is nothing nefarious going on with the drone sightings. stay tuned. >> sparking all those theories. all right. starbucks workers could be hitting the picket line. soon after, thousands of unionized employees voted to authorize a strike just ahead of the last bargaining session of the year. the union is pushing for higher pay, increased staffing and schedule improvements. a starbucks spokesperson tells fox business, quote, it is disappointing that the union is considering a strike, rather than focusing on what have been extremely productive negotiations. timing of the potential strike has not yet been hammered out by the union, but if you like your coffee and your christmas cups, this could be bad news for you. >> pay attention trend aragua now in 18 states as gang members from that gang are being accused of even more violent crimes. >> our next guest is trying to

get trend aragua out of his community, and he believes the trump administration will finally help him. he's going to join us on how next? >> it's a miracle he will have enemies, this kingdom. >> nobody is going to take it from us. >> i worship only the lord god. he's not a prophet, just an ordinary man who bleeds like everyone else. >> you can't do everything on your own. >> i am never alone. >> what did you see? everything. >> this holiday season, get 50% off fox nation's annual plan. >> donate your card to today's veterans and help support tunnel to towers. the process is quick and simple, and the proceeds from your generous car donation will go to support the good work that t20 is doing throughout our community. any cars accepted, running or not

old student who also died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. police say the motive was a combination of factors and, quote, everyone was a target. happening today on capitol hill, the house border security caucus will meet to recap the biden-harris administration's border policies and discuss president trump's plans for the future. >> lucas tomlinson in washington with the details. hey, lucas. >> well, good morning, carley and todd. president elect donald trump has promised a mass deportation of illegal immigrants after he takes the oath of office on january 20th. under president biden, more than 2 million migrants have entered the united states every year since he became president, the largest surge in american history, according to the congressional budget office. a total net migration under the biden administration is likely to exceed 8 million people. for the illegal migrants. the incoming trump administration is eyeing an expansion of ankle monitors for illegal immigrants not in custody. and in

colorado, more than a dozen gang members from iowa are now in custody for allegedly kidnaping and torturing a couple from this now infamous aurora apartment complex that witnesses say was taken over by the venezuelan gang. as you can see here, gang members, both male and female, kidnaped the couple from their home and took them to another apartment where police say they were bound, pistol whipped and beaten. a councilwoman said the woman's fingernails were ripped off. the other was stabbed. >> i am tired of this being portrayed as just another gang in aurora. this is so heinous. this is a whole different level and i am tired of it. i've been called a liar. i've been told this was in my imagination. this has been downplayed and people are suffering and i will not be silenced on this issue. >> and the police chief blamed the biden administration for bringing crime to aurora. he said in a past call with the white house official. they told him he owned they only cared about immigrants when they

cross the border. carley. todd. >> wow, that is quite the answer. a ridiculous answer, lucas. thank you. let's bring in tennessee assemblyman todd warner. assemblyman warner, great to have you on the program. you heard that councilwoman's passion. this is not like any other gang. the cruelty and violence of this gang seems to know no bounds. and you know all too well the threat of tren de aragua in tennessee, cities like nashville, memphis, knoxville and chattanooga all falling victim to this gang. why has tda been able to gain such a foothold in your state? >> i'm not sure. i mean, we you know, the only thing that we can see here in the state is that the biden administration, immigration policies, crime is on the rise across the state, as you're aware. i think your network had our fbi director on a few weeks back, and he made us aware of this problem. the fentanyl deaths in metro nashville, davidson county, i think are near 800 for the

year. so it's a serious problem here in tennessee. and it's a serious problem across this country. and i'm terribly disappointed in the biden administration and their failed policies. >> yeah, it's led to 18 states. to your point, with an established trend de aragua presence, our state and local authorities by themselves capable of combating the inhumanity of a gang like trend de aragua without really any assistance from the biden administration. >> well, it looks like we're going to have to, sir, the biden administration, as i said earlier, just continue to fail. the border policies are terrible. but i do think america spoke loud here a few weeks ago with the election. and in electing donald trump back to the white house, i think the trump administration has the right people in place. and we as a state here

revenue for cost of detention and transportation, and violent criminals would be subject to deportation. is this about making sanctuary city s put their money where their mouth is? >> absolutely. we banned previous general assemblies and banned sanctuary cities in tennessee. we want to send them where they are more welcome than tennessee. our crime, overdose problem is on the rise and terrible problem to have to face here.

and told five representatives to build more jails, build more prisons or remove immigrants from the state. he said over one-third of the criminal court cases coming through were due to illegal immigrants. >> todd: one third, that should not happen, they should not be in the country. i spoke with tom homan on air and off air and he is ready to go day one. how do you think your bill will work with the incoming trump administration? >> well, when this bill was being drafted, it was drafted before the election. i'm glad president trump has been elected, i think he's going to put his money where his mouth

is. we look forward to working on it in tennessee and hopefully instead of deporting straight to cities, we can send them out of the country. i want to point outs, if an illegal immigrant commits violent crime here, we want them to stay here, get maximum punishment and then send them out. toxi >> todd: understood. i'm getting choked up, why don't you take it. >> carley: i will clear my throat for you. send over to janice dean. >> todd: it is dry. is it dry? >> janice: in the studio it is, get a humidifiyer. the weather outside is frightful, we might get some snow. do we like the odds? hello, mr. christmas tree. current temperatures, cold air in place and that front is

moving through potential for snow showers for the northin plains, upper midwest and it is great lakes and heavy rainfall potential for parts of the mid-atlantic, ohio river valley could see potential for stronger storms, heavy rainfall and ice and freezing rain. keep that in mind. snow forecast through friday through northern plains, up to foot of snow and watch what happens with this low moving toward the northeast and secondary low develops. will we the get snow? depends which model you look at. more rain event, more snow mixing in, if you look at gfs, we could see stronger low and maybe a little more snow potential. also want to make mention the fire weather danger across southern california. we have the same setup we saw last week for these regions.

through this evening, potential for strong winds and dry conditions and high fire danger is an area we'll be watching through this evening. same areas that were under santa anta winds last week. west coast getting in on snow and coastal rain could see rain across tennessee and ohio river valley, dry in the northeast and christmas day forethe cast looking at temperatures in 40s and snow across the rockies and warmer than that getting into the week between christmas and new year's for much of the country. i don't have that map. there is your white christmas forecast, a lot of unlikely, maybe and dream on. >> todd: regardless snow on the ground or notes, there was snow in one studio when you and i and a few fox friends taped the

great christmas showdown. here is a clip. >> it is the great christmas showdown. grandma got run over so your grandma could live. >> when grandmothers stay alive, we all win. the outfit. keep the change, you filthy animal. >> wow. >> [singing] >> are they right? >> no. >> it all comes down to this. >> survey says -- oh, oh, oh. >> merry christmas to all and to all a good night. >> janice: this was third annual, so much fun. notice in the clip todd did not say much, a lot of sound effects. >> todd: i was in a tux, i did

whatever i wanted. focus on that. >> phenomenal outfit. >> christmas tree party dress sweeping the nation. >> carley: so much fun. >> todd: matt our floor director, that throw, perfect, like perfect form. >> carley: i said it for you, you did not need to. what was on brian's mouth? >> todd: eggnog, one of the challenges. >> janice: had toy did bait and do challenges like snowballs and eggnog. >> todd: cookie making. >> janice: fox nation, tune in now. >> carley: great christmas showdown available on fox nation. >> todd: thank you. >> carley: question, is media turning on nancy pelosi after reportedly ending aoc chance at being ranking member of the oversight committee? >> you have people that have the skills, but they are not pushing

them forward. >> todd: intractable, joe concha will define what that word means and react to rest of that segment next. i told myself i was ok with my moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis symptoms... ...with my psoriatic arthritis symptoms. but just ok isn't ok. and i was done settling. if you still have symptoms after trying a tnf blocker like humira or enbrel, rinvoq works differently. rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling as fast as 2 weeks for some. and even at the 3-year mark, many people felt this relief. rinvoq can stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower ability to fight infections. before treatment, test for tb and do bloodwork. serious infections, blood clots, some fatal; ...cancers, including lymphoma and skin;

serious allergic reactions; gi tears; death; heart attack; and stroke occurred. cv event risk increases in age 50 plus with a heart disease risk factor. tell your doctor if you've had these events, infection, hep b or c, smoked, are pregnant or planning. don't take if allergic or have an infection. done settling? ask your rheumatologist for rinvoq. and take back what's yours. (♪)

>> carley: house doge caucus meeting on capitol hill yftz and members are ready to get to work. >> there is still an energy and buzz on capitol hill. we had a packed caucus room, many more people attended than we thought. we had 50 republican members and three democrats. first thing is to build trust before the two parties have not

trusted each other. >> carley: new york congresswoman claudia tenney joins me now, she was inside the meeting. what was it like? >> it was great and energetic and great to see it bipartisan. it will be bicameral because senator blackbunrn and i have introduced the doge act. you can talk about the shrimp on the treadmill, if you don't fix it, you will have that kind of spending. we want to see major cuts and changes so our government is accountable and transparent with the american people. i see the bipartisan support, it was great on to have the democrats in the room. >> carley: when it comes to cutting government waste, what ideas were discussed yesterday? >> first of all, we are going to

have oversight committee will have a sub-committee chaired by representative marjorie taylor greene and a lot of great members will be on the subcommittee. look at federal accountability for each agency and make sure we can put a freeze on some spending and increases that are automatically in place and have performance-based initiatives here. right now, there is no performance, you can stay no matter how poorly you are doing. it takes years, even if you don't come into work, you still get paid. under president trump's veteran mission act we were able to get rid of and fire people who work for va serving our veterans, if they were not performing. that does not happen in others parts of government and that is a big part of it.

relocate federal bureaucracy 0u9 of washington, bureau of land management, department of interior, are better served not in washington. bloat of government makes cost high and causes government spending, we never end programs. look what happened in argentina, new president put draconian reform in, and argentina does not have a deficit now. these are things we can do along with boosting our economy, president trump will unleash american energy and we are going to cause growth, bring down cost of government, lower inflation and bring prosperity to americans across the country. >> carley: avert a government

deadline past friday, some are angry how mike johnson has handled this. what is going on there? >> a lot of people are anxious, we're excited about the trifektsa, having president trump. right now president biden is still in office and democrats still control the senate. we can't get through our state representative who happens to be majority leader, chuck schumer, one of my senators. we are negotiating with a narrow majority and speaker is doing his best to put what we want in. we would like to see our priorities in there. we don't have the votes and interesting to see, look, we would love to see president trump start with a clean slate next year. that will likely not happen. i see some good things in the cr. this is the way government will

be run until republicans take over next year. >> carley: two major questions in limited time, is there enough time to avoid a government shutdown? a /* that is on friday and do you think this anger from conservative members in the republican party today mike jo johnson could hurt his house speaker vote in january? >> hard to say where people are right now, these are difficult negotiations, speaker johnson is terrific guy dealing in as newt gingrich said most difficult speakership in american history. i think we'll get something done, i wish we would have passed all appropriations. that is no fault of speaker johnson, if we had the votes and

republicans could stick together, we would have priorities we want. we need to come together next year or we will not be able to implement trump's agenda. it is important president trump bring the party together next year. >> thank you. >> todd: president biden getting roasted by members of his own party for becoming an afterthought even though he is still president. >> trump is not president yet, a fact getting easier to forget, joe biden seem to be disappearing from the public stage. >> we should only have one president at a time and it is surprising choice to allow it to be donald trump. >> carley: those were obama bros. joe, what do you think about that? where is president biden amid in drone situation, he has not said

anything yet. >> joe: last night another fun night above my house in jersey. donald trump is acting president 32 days before his inauguration, it was he at the reopening of notre dame cotheed ral and he that met with president makcron. he was able to get soft bank to pledge 100 billion with a b in investment. we only hear about joe biden when he is breaking another record for pardons. he went to delaware the yesterday for a five or six day weekend at his beach house. sad ending to a sad presidency and makes you ask the question, who is running the country right now. >> todd: quite a legacy for biden if his own party thinks

he's quit the job. former harris campaign officials there is no value in speaking to mainstream newspapers, saying there is no value in a general election to speaking to "new york times" or speaking to the "washington post" because those readers are already with us. joe, your reaction? >> joe: talk about saying the quiet part out loud. why should we talk to new"new y times" or the post, that is accurate, look at track record of "new york times," they have not endorsed a republican presidential candidate in 64 years. they say, vote for democrats, mcgovern, carter, mondale, kerry and kamala harris and was "washington post" never endorsed a republican ever. leadership is people who think

msnbc is a news network. she could have gone on joe rogan and didn't and held a wide-ranging press conference and didn't, could have attended thes al smith dinner and didn't. kamala harris campaign shows genius has limits, stupidity does not. >> carley: alexandria ocasio-cortez wanted to be top democrat and did not get votes, because nancy pelosi was behind this making phone calls for jerry connelly. joy reid is not happy about it. listen. >> aoc and jasmine, two of the best communicators, you have people that have skills and they are not pushing them forward. it seems like it is intractable and i recall when president obama was elected he pushed aside dnc.

there is frustration with creepy way

way -- take a stand. >> todd: are they for sale this christmas season, spines? dan dakich is not afraid to take a stand and he is next. wax figure of myself. oh! right in the temporal lobe! beat it, punks! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪

>> carley: if you plan to pig out this christmas, san francisco might have you covered. the city hired a fat positive ity expert to consult on weight stigma and weight neutrality. author and forbes market contri contributor has been hired for the new gig. she's spoken out in the past about dieting and bmi metrics. >> todd: president of ncaa, on

capitol hill. he was asked about their policy on biological men competing in women's sports. watch this. >> why don't you take a position on transgenders competing in women's females, you just told me it is not fair. >> why don't you do it on your own? >> we are national governing body and follow federal law. >> why don't you go to amazon, buy a spine online and take a stand. >> todd: dan dakich joins me now. start with the transgender discussion there between kennedy and baker. >> i like kennedy, kennedy is always after him. he said it was debatable if there was a physical advantage.

my solution to mr. baker, if it is debatable whether trans athletes have advantage, make them play against the boys, the men's team. why do every single boy to girl, girl to boy, transitioning athlete play the women? they should play against the men particularly during that exchange earlier, charlie baker, president of ncashes adlt /* -- nbe caa, said it is debatable, charlie baker is a politician, you heard he is hiding behind the federal government thing. he should and he could put a machineidate in. other thing that was absurd to me, he calls them locals, local people are putting on an event employs indianapolis final four,

we are the locals, we should provide a space for women if they are uncomfortable with a trans man in their locker room, we should move the woman out to a different locker room or space, as he called it, which is absurd. a woman like riley gaines participating in a women's event should be protected and it is clooer under charlie baker's leadership, it is not, it is sad and shouldn't be, ridiculous and as kennedy says, he needs to go buy a spine and make this right. >> todd: tone of the country, get pulse and understand where the people are. governing bodies are so woke they can't bend the rules for right speaks volumes.

the focus was supposed to be legalized betting, seems to be some athletes are getting pressured by betters. what should be the solution going forward? this is a big money situation all around, you know that. >> dan: i do, this has been going on a long time. when i was coaching at bowling green, a kid asked what i think. this was before it was legalized and i went off on the kid, i wanted to teach him a lesson. it is more problematic now. in the nba they eliminated prop bets meaning there is bet on play-by-player at indiana, when you have a bet like that, you are betting specifically on player, one of your peers walking around campus and say

that kid does not hit it, now he is subject to threats and that is one thousand percent real. with gambling being legalized, what is going on campus, players being threatened and talked about and not being pressured but being asked about his team, you got anybody hurt? what do you think? it is bad business, when people lose money, they make irrational actions. they do. college kids losing money are going to lead to irrational actions. ome thing i can fully suggest, do what the nba did in college, elim the nat any bets possible on individual players. >> todd: that has to be the solution, this is wrong, you can't have this happening to an

18 to 22-year-old, it is just not right. dan dakich speaking truth, we appreciate it, dan. go to lawrence to look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> lawrence: what is going on, coming up on "fox and friends," i sit down with an exclusive interview with jocelyn nungaray mother and kim ogh, watch. >> he told me he believed the little girl found was my jocelyn, and i broke. >> you cannot run and hide in this county and state from a crime as brutalace this. >> lawrence: consequence of biden's open-border policy, plus participants hilton on the hill yesterday calling on congress to take up a child abuse bill. she will join us later in the show. and gop divided on speaker mike

johnson's spending bill, we'll hear from the speaker coming up. and will cain and dave ramsey join us. ainsley, brian, steve and me at the top of the hour, we'll see you in a bit. daughter, i know, that when i need you, you'll be there. but it's okay to accept a little help. so you can be my daughter. not my caretaker- just you. home instead. for a better what's next.

>> todd: intense search for missing jet skier turns into heroic rescue. found a man clinging to rocks st. lucie reported miss guilty over the weekend when his jet

ski was found abandoned in the water. coast guard airlifted him to safety and taken to the hospital with minor injuries. boy, that could have turned out much different than it did. >> carley: jet skier clinging to rocks and there with a bandage around his head. is he so lucky to be alive. god bless those rescuers. >> todd: what is happen happening to the auto industry. honda and could be merging. leading american electric vehicle manufacturers. both companies releasing identical statements quote as announced in march of this year honda and nissan are exploring various collaboration leveraging each other's strengths end quote. honda and nissan are the second and third largest auto manufacturers in japan behind toyota. >> carley: federal reserve expected to cut interest rates by 25 bases points. this would be the fed's third

straight cut of the year after cutting by 50 bases points in september and 25 in november. kevin o'leary is the chairman of o'leary ventures and joins me now. kevin, good morning to you. this could be good news for people. what do you expect the announcement out of the fed to be later today? >> i expect them to cut 25 but this will be the last cut for a while. the numbers aren't going the right direction on inflation. we stalled out in decreases. some of the numbers are coming in high. we haven't stamped out inflation. the mandates 2% were nowhere near that. i think the fed will make the cut, but that's it for quite a while. they will have to wait and see what happens over the next couple of quarters. >> carley: okay. there is also this interesting trend that i wanted to talk to you about out of the business world. particularly among tech ceos who are all lining up to meet with donald trump, talking about mark zuckerberg, geraldine ferraro bezos tiktok. sundar pichai, tim cook.

people had such disdain for donald trump in 2016 and 2020. now have done a complete 180. want to have dinner with him and donating a million dollars to the inauguration fund. what is going on here? >> frankly, they saw the mandate he won. he has a majority mandate right through the system, including the popular vote. so they are not stupid. number two, they are basically guaranteed a 21% corporate tax rate. we're not going to have a change there i don't think it's going to go to 15. 21 is pretty good. that takes the heat off of them on tax. real reason trump is going to deregulate federally. that's very good. cool in on all the merger and acquisition suits a lot of legality, changing a lot of the administrative makes for these people. they are saying well, i think i'm going to go suck up with him because he's the guy for sure for the next two years until the midterms. there's no doubting that that's why you are seeing them all fly there not just tech leaders, leaders of countries. everybody is sucking up now

because he is the man. >> carley: so true. probably been saying these things behind closed doors. not as bad. cut taxes good for business. not only that he won the electoral college but the popular vote say it out loud. i mentioned the ceo of tiktok. donald trump recently made comments on tiktok with the potential for sale of the company. take a listen what he had to say that surprised some people. watch this. >> i have a warm spot in my heart for tiktok because i won youth by 34 points. and there are those that say that tiktok has something to do with that tiktok had an impact. and so we're taking a look at it. >> carley: okay. so you have said that you are interested in buying the app. are you still interested and, also, what do you think about what donald trump said there? >> yeah. i don't think trump's going to ignore the fact that congress on a bipartisan basis has claimed that this is chinese spyware and it is and they are going to shut

it down jan 19th. i'm one of five groups interested in buying it. this idea it's about free speech has nothing to do with it. sell it to american controlled entity and you can maintain it. not about free speech it's about spyway. i have to disclose a giant crowd funding effort because i want the 7 million business owners that know me this is a real shark tank platform we all use it. i want there to be shareholders we side me so they can indicate their interest tiktok.com. this is chinese spyware and in india a few years ago. they shut this down it was a kerfuffle for five days and everybody forgot about it. if they don't sell this thing, they are going to shut it down. >> carley: if you buy it and keep them from going out of business a lot of people will vote for you too. thank you for joining us. "fox & friends" starts right now.
