okay. noted. here we go for the hemmer. the dow will hit 50,000. >> dana: is that hopeful? >> bill: shy of 43,000. it is a bit of a contrarian view. i didn't say it will stay above 50,000 but hit it. middle east peace deal will not materialize. i think it will take more time. tiktok will survive. >> dana: i agree. it won't be owned by the chinese. >> bill: or they divest and owned by american company. taylor and travis yet again. i look at this for the "new york post" talking about engagement ring on her finger and photo shopped out. >> dana: maybe the musical is about a marriage or a breakup. we'll be back here next year to let me know how you did. merry christmas and happy new year to everybody. we love having you on this wild ride with us. >> harris: 11:59:59 tonight is

the deadline for either a government shutdown or the beginning of another holiday weekend. president-elect donald trump and his choices to cut spending, the doge co-chairs fought for the trimmed down version of that monster of a bill that was supposed to be a continuing resolution that looked more like an original omnibus spending bill. it was huge. then we went from 1,547 pages to 116 pages. so you know they were right. there was a lot to cut. even that failed a vote last night. however, today republicans say they have a plan and are hoping for votes later on today. it was supposed to be a 10:00 a.m. eastern. we're standing by. could be at any time. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." elon musk, one of those doge co-chairs posted this morning congress should first read the bill and vote. they didn't give them a lot of

time. are you trying to convince me people still aren't reading it? the 2024 election showed all this could be exactly what people wanted under president-elect trump. they want change. they want the swamp to be drained. a massive 83% of voters say they want a total upheaval or substantial change in how the country is run. of those looking for that change, 70% voted for trump. so the person on the other side of the aisle, the democrats that wanted to be up against trump, they didn't have the answers for far more than the majority of the country. senator tim scott says republicans need to get behind trump now. >> he has laid out clear markers. what he doesn't want is a democrats to hold him hostage with a debt ceiling and why it is such an important part of the conversation. what he wants is to make sure

that doge is successful. that means the american people get to keep more of their hard earned dollars. we'll see president trump take command, cut spending and get things done. >> harris: senior national correspondent aishah hasnie has been busy all morning on capitol hill. bring us up to speed. what's going on? >> good morning. at this hour there is no indication of when we might see a floor vote on a government funding spending bill. the longer this goes on and the longer that we wait today, it does not bode well for the house or speaker mike johnson. johnson is still huddled up inside his office right now. a live look right there with the house freedom caucus members and folks that were hard nose on that skinny cr you were talking about last night. trump's nominee russell vought is also in the room representing the president-elect and negotiating on his behalf. this morning when johnson walked

into the capitol he told us he had a plan and there was going to be a vote. sources told me later it was a short-term clean cr. that's what they were going to vote on. no debt ceiling attached to it as trump had demanded. they will kick that issue into the new year or the new congress and there would be no disaster relief or farm aid attached as well. it would be a clean cr. i have not yet heard of a concrete answer on how long that cr would be so that might be what they are all hung up on right now inside those closed doors. remember, last night johnson tried that cr with all of these things aid and debt ceiling and turned out to be a poison pill. he lost 38 republicans. we are watching the democrats right now in the senate. leader schumer just came out and said we have to go back to the 1500 page bill. here is the thing. the longer it takes for the house to get done schumer could put his own cr on if floor in

the city to jam republicans. waiting and watching. >> harris: a very special guest to wait and watch with us. newt gingrich, former speaker of the house, so much experience here. you said yesterday and i caught your post on x, president trump and republicans should not be afraid of a government shutdown. do you still feel that way? >> certainly. when i have was speaker, we had two government shutdowns, one was pretty long. i think 20 some days. it convinced president clinton that we were serious and it convinced the american people that we were going to keep our word even if it was hard. i think everybody misjudged what president trump won when they bring in a 1500 page bill that is a joke. that was not a continuing resolution as you pointed out. this was actually a brand-new omnibus spending bill.

it was a total violation. politics as usual. don't worry what the candidate says before the election, he will sell you out afterwards . trump didn't sell them out and now we are facing the first great reality of making american great again, which is a congress filled with people who love pork, love taking money home to the district, love deficit spending, love big bureaucracies and they are colliding with the man the american people picked to change things. i have think that president trump would be much better off to let the government close, let biden sit there as a totally incompetent president presiding over a mess and to go to the country and say to the country i am not going to be a president who sells you out. i need your help to convince the congress to pass a good bill. i have think the country would respond. >> harris: let's focus on biden for a second. he cut his vacation short. so did the vice president kamala

harris and i understand that if there were to be a tie on this in any way in the senate once it leaves the house, then she is the vice president would break that tie. biden coming back from delaware to go off to the next destination, i don't know that that helps anybody anyway. he is basically awol. i want to get your thoughts on that. we haven't heard from him on this process. >> i wrote a piece the other day saying that trump is the defacto president. technically biden is still president he has clearly just quit. it is unbelievable how much he is out of touch with reality now. even "the new york times" is beginning to report it. it must be really bad to make it into the times. that raises the question who actually put together the list of 1600 pardons and commutations. you know biden didn't. some of them are pretty sick. there are some people on that

list who really should never have been paroled. so you have to ask yourself who is really running the government? what is really making the decisions? i think that biden is now collapsed to about 66% disapproval which may be the highest disapproval since herbert hoover. from the republican standpoint, they need to be calm, committed to changing things, and now they do have to find a way to talk to themselves. there is a no caucus that wakes up every moment and i know the vote is know and what's the question. those folks have to come together and understand they are in a new world. >> harris: are they on both sides of the aisle. the no caucus? >> no, no, no. the democratic side. teddy kennedy say the answer is more money, what's the question? so there is a more money caucus on the democratic side. this is going to be a very serious challenge and one of the

first great challenges of the trump presidency. there are 20 members who have to learn that they are now a majority. they have a president. they have a program. they have to learn to vote yes. their hand won't fall off. there arm won't wither. they have to be part of the team. it will take a lot of talking and a lot of pain to get it. these folks have now spent ten or 12 years learning how to be totally obnoxious and totally self-directed and to think that they are morally superior to the other 180 or so republicans trying to get something done. this will be one of trump's greatest challenges but he is awfully smart. i think as he pays attention to it, he will gradually figure out how to get it done. >> harris: you were mentioning earlier that they were -- the democrats were in total violation and i wanted to complete that thought. i was thinking they are in total violation of negotiating in good faith. when you come to the table and you have all the cookies and you

mentioned pork and everything else in there, if that's the big word for what we call it. there are a lot of little deliciously sweet goodies in there for democrats and you think the other side won't play ball with you. they are forced to play ball. they have somebody new in the white house and coming. an absent nature of the guy there already. i want to get to that and get your thoughts on that total violation by democrats. >> well look, they are the party of government. they have are the party of goodies and hold their coalition together by paying with their money. they have a vested interest taking care of the widest range of their allies and the biggest spending bill. they are who they are. it's like blaming lions for eating zebra,s it's what they do. democrats love pork. the party of government. which is why if we go to a shutdown the pressure on the

democrats will very rapidly build because the fact is it's their allies, their coalition and of course trump intends to shrink the government and put uncle sam on a diet. the democratic wing of uncle sam doesn't want to go on a diet. they want milk shakes and goodies and a little bourbon. >> harris: quickly, i had told our audience previous with some of our numbers and polling just how many americans want what is happening, maybe they don't want a shutdown. i wouldn't go that far but they want upheaval and change in washington, d.c. how swampy is the swamp these days compared to when you were there? >> two or three times sicker. it is like watching cancer spread. we were able to balance the federal budget. remember, we had to shut down twice in order to get bill clinton's attention. once we got -- everybody said it will be terrible.

we were the first reelected majority since 1928 and it happened after the two shutdowns because the american people said oh, these guys are different. they actually mean what they say. so i would urge republicans stand firm for very large scale change. fight it out and rest comfortable while the washington news media and washington lobbyists and washington bureaucrats will all go crazy, the rest of the country is going to applaud finally having a majority that actually intends to change it. >> harris: what would you say to those people facing the holiday season looking at a shutdown? you have been through this before and people were not out in the streets protesting. they were watching the situation just like we are watching it now saying this is change. >> look, a huge part of america is going to go continue as usual. people will go to christmas dinner. people will watch nfl football and college football. people will go shopping.

people will go see movies. relax. this is the constitutional system. the founding fathers feared dictatorship, divided power up so no dictator could make it work. we can barely get it to work voluntarily. it is what the founders intendened and takes hard work. the largest transition since franklin roosevelt in 1932 and it is going to be difficult. this is riding a wild rapid. not a houseboat on a lake. it will be a wild river but will get us to a dramatically better, more prosperous and safer future. >> harris: speaker newt gingrich. thank you very much for your time. merry christmas to you and your wife. >> merry christmas. >> harris: we'll move to this and have a doctor in the house to get here. those puberty blockers for

minors are banned in the united kingdom and here it is fueling the debate. opponents of the drugs argue it is about putting science over politics immediately. it is an emergency. plus robert f. kennedy, jr. and health agenda are getting new backing from republicans on capitol hill. >> my grandma always said if you have your health, you have everything. right now america does not have their health. let's put wind beneath rfk junior's wings and make america healthy again. >> harris: he had 25 meetings with senators in one week trying to shore up support for his confirmation. there are still some concerns, questions about his stance on hot button topics. i will run them past dr. marc siegel in "focus" next.

lainey wilson: in this family, we ask for help when we need it so we can help more children who really need it. st. jude gives kids with cancer the chance they deserve. this holiday season, join our st. jude family. we need you. they get it. they know how it works. and most importantly, it works for them. i don't have any anxiety about money anymore. i don't have to worry about a mortgage payment every month. it allowed me to live in my home and not have to make payments. if you're 62 or older and own your home, you could access a portion of your equity to improve your lifestyle. a reverse mortgage loan can eliminate your monthly mortgage payments and put tax-free cash in your pocket. it was the best thing i've ever done. really? yes without a doubt. these folks know, finance of america can show you how a reverse mortgage loan

uses your built-up home equity to give you tax-free cash. it's a good thing! so look, why don't you get the facts like these folks did and see if a reverse mortgage could work for you. call finance of america and get your free, info kit. call this number.

>> i think he will be much less radical than you would think. i think he has a very open mind or i wouldn't have put him there. we'll knock out the middle men and get drug costs down at levels nobody has seen before. >> harris: president-elect donald trump defending his choice of robert f. kennedy, jr. to head the health and human services department. kennedy was on capitol hill meeting with senators ahead of his confirmation hearing. he is teaching them about his make america healthy again agenda focusing on our health and food habits putting a spotlight on obesity and heart disease. re-examining vaccines approvals. banning toxic chemicals and cutting corporate influence. republican senator roger marshall launched a new make america healthy caucus in support of rfk junior.

>> the wind beneath his wings and make america healthy again. it starts with food as medicine, healthy diet. declaring war on chronic diseases. we're trying to do the right thing. committed as a physician here for 30 years trying to work on this. i sit down with kennedy and he is committed to doing this. i think there are so many simple things we can do. >> harris: rfk junior is a kennedy so knows how to run. he is expected to meet with more senators on both sides of the political aisle. he still needs to address some concerns specifically about his stance on vaccines. he knows that. i want to bring in an expert now, dr. marc siegel, fox news senior medical analyst. what does he need to tell the public about vaccine? >> vaccines, i think, he has some people that are concerned about this, lisa murcowski from alaska, mcconnell who had polio. he needs to reassure people he

understands that vaccines are yes personal choice, but in many cases they are protecting a community for people who can't get a vaccine. that's a key piece of this. people that are immuno compromised or pregnant or people that can't get a vaccine are in their best shape when viruses aren't around that threaten them. if vaccines decrease that, fine, that helps a lot. second thing is kennedy is calling for transparency on vaccines and that's terrific. he also needs to acknowledge for some of his doubters that in many cases there has been a lot of information out there. many vaccines have been tried and true over many years and that has to be acknowledged. by the way, the government is responsible for vaccines ever since 1976 swine flu fiasco it's on the government they have to make sure that vaccines are safe. >> harris: it's interesting that you mention that. we have another situation going on now with avian flu. they found the first case in america just a couple of days ago. so the idea of whether or not

the current flu vaccine has hit that. this conversation will come up after the first of the year i would assume. we expect more cases from what i'm reading. >> one more thing. what is you are benefit and risk. what is your risk and benefit? >> harris: you talk about risk and some people shouldn't get a vaccine for many reasons, can't. herd immunity is what you are saying. that's optional for people, right? president-elect trump has said he is in favor of the pollio vaccine for example. that's come up with kennedy but not in favor of mandates. i don't know if you get herd immunity if people choose. >> on the school and community level. not on the united states level. if you let people go to public school and they don't get the vaccines, the viruses can reemerge. measles, polio and that's what we're worried about. we like the way it is right now.

more transparency, more information. that's never a bad thing. >> harris: quickly, just about obesity, i remember you saying during the covid pandemic at the peak of the deaths were under biden, many people don't know that. the first year in office we saw more deaths from covid than any other time during the pandemic. the lockdowns continuing didn't help that. >> the mandate strategy didn't do that. if you mandate something and you act like you are better than them they don't trust you again i love it. make america healthy again committee forming in congress, tommy tuberville is for all of this yet trying to protect farmers. gives you an idea more people get on board with what kennedy is saying here. let's go after the chemicals in our food and get healthier food and farm to table. get rid of all of the additives

that make us gain weight. high fructose corn syrup. sugar and salt. our food is unhealthy in the united states. it will get bipartisan support and i think it's really important. >> harris: the u.s. supreme court is considering a challenge to a tennessee law banning puberty blockers and transition sur -- sur gerjy for children. >> there are always risks involved and the legislatures job to regulate the immediate cain. they look and risks and benefits. in these cases we talk about kids making decisions that could result in life long lack of fertility, life long lack of sexual function. dealing with cognitive impairments, tumors, bone den see, blood clots, serious risks.

>> harris: first take a look at your screen. the up coming high court ruling could affect 22 other states with similar laws. this case is fueling even more debate after the u.k. decided to ban puberty blockers indefinitely for anyone under the age of 18. it cited a study that found evidence on the safety of puberty blockers to be remarkably weak. the "washington post" editorial board with this headline. look to science, not law for real answers on youth gender medicine. look to science. what's the science of these drugs? >> two point. puberty blockers can weaken bones. if you combine it with a hormone at the same time that gets you to the other gender, that can influence fertility. in terms of mental status, the people that are supporting them for children are always saying they make people less depressed. study out of the united kingdom is not showing that. it is showing a large percentage get worse as a result of it and can lead to problems with mood, problems with behavior and if

that happens it is a wrong time to be doing this when puberty is approaching. the united kingdom decided to continue the ban under the age of 18. another quick point that you and i made before we came on here. what role are parents playing here? are they feeling guilty and superimposeing political ideology and let the kid decide who is 12 years old? >> harris: maybe, maybe younger. >> not good medicine or psychological health. mental health support is the way to go for a young kid. >> harris: maybe for the whole family. perhaps parents have run out of road on what they think they can do for their child. it okay for everybody to get help in those situations. try to figure out a way forward that doesn't involve cutting and drugs. >> completely agree. >> harris: new numbers show a

huge jump in deportations this last fiscal year. critics say that pales in comparison to the millions they let in. you let a few go but you let millions in. plus georgia's district attorney now has been booted from trump's election case in that state with fresh questions about the future of that case period. >> the trial court judge said yes there is an appearance of impropriety but think we can cure it by removing the ex-lover from the case. i don't think there is anybody that thought that was going to stand. if it's not dead, it is certainly in a coma. >> harris: oh my goodness, all right. critics say it all but ended the case, the decision to take fani willis along with nathan wade off the case previously and another blow to the democrat lawfare campaign against president trump. jason chaffetz in "focus" next.

>> harris: we have some breaking news on that situation with the possible government shutdown. republicans now are strategizing forcing lawmakers to pass a continuing resolution before tonight's deadline. sources are telling fox news house republican leaders are expected to present three bills, one a clean funding cr. two, disaster relief, you know how many storms we have had, hurricanes, so on and so forth and three, a farm aid. i am a big component for that. i want there to be a farm czar when trump gets into office. they want a handshake agreement on acting on the debt limit and spending cuts next year. they want to break out those emergency portions of that giant bill that came in from democrats, the 1,500 plus page bill that got shrunk last night to 116 pages and still could not

pass. they want to break off the farm aid and the storm bill. the emergency funding for people and have that passed separately. put those priorities first. one republican lawmaker is telling fox they'll be on the hill all night long. the deadline 11:59:59. beyond that to try to get it done. two others are expecting a republican conference meeting later today. i wanted to bring you up to speed. that's the breaking latest. after years of low numbers a new custom and enforcement report shows the biden administration finally caught up to the trump-era deportation levels. they were late, under pressure. they are losing elections, you know the deal. former acting ice director. >> right before the election they put in policies that would deter or send people back to mexico if they were from certain countries. at the same time they opened what they call a legal pathway

which is really an abuse of the parole system in the united states. so i am not impressed by the numbers or the statistics because we are still at great risk. >> harris: the numbers include millions of people they let in and didn't even vet. despite all of the latest round of deportations, criminals who are here are being released. so they broke our law crossing the border illegally and they also broke the laws from where they came. more than 100 of them who rioted and injured officers at the border in el paso have been let go into the country. remember this day back in march? they were beating the heck out of people who had weapons showing restraint. they let these people go. this week a criminal illegal immigrant from mexico was arrested again in new york city nearly three months after finishing a short jail sentence for molesting a child.

he was then removed from the united states five times and re-entered at an unknown date and time. matt finn has more. they want to brag about the deportation numbers. we don't know who is here. >> really highlights the dangers of not knowing who comes into our country. and harris of the 270,000 migrants deported last year, only about 47,000 were removed from communities across the country. the majority, about 223,000, were arrested right at the border. but the incoming border czar, tom homan says, under the trump administration mass deportations in the interior are going to begin quick and at a rate that far exceeds biden's 270,000 deportations. >> president trump's numbers will blow all these numbers out of the water. we'll let ice do their job and take the handcuffs off ice and put them on the bad guys

starting day one. >> in texas governor abbott unveiled graphic new billboards going up in mexico and central america right now warning illegal migrants of the dangers and consequences of illegally crossing. one sign reads your wife and daughter will pay for their trip with their bodies. the billboards were announced on the property of a texas woman who says she and her husband found and burned rape trees on their land. those trees are believed to be where attackers string up the undergarments of their victims. >> we have had several rape trees and lots of women that have been found beaten and raped in front of our house, left to die in drainage ditches where it makes you terrified to go outside of your own house and enjoy your own property. >> adding to that during my reporting at the border over the past year or 21 thing that stood out to me what's the number of women i talked to who said they were groped or molested on their

way to the united states, harris. >> harris: i remember my time at the border in the del rio sector. the reason they do that is to leave those people suffering or dead in visible sight to send a message for those who come behind if you don't plan to work out in every way that you owe the drug cartels this will happen to you, rape, torture, beatings, the whole thing. it is a signpost by killers. thank you very much for the reporting. jason chaffetz now, fox news contributor and former utah congressman. look, it is confounding about how we necessarily got here and there are some across the aisle from you politically who thought they would want to stay stuck, democrats. what needs to happen day one? we know from tom homan. in your estimation former chairman of oversight, what needs to happen? >> we need to lock down that border right away. i know to the trump administration is going to do that. lock down the border, get rid of

rewards and incentives and the idea and notion there will be some sort of amnesty. if you have broken our laws, guess what? you are going to have to be deported called restitution. it's a principle in the united states. and we have to do that. something like 1.4 million people that were ordered by a federal judge to depart the country and they didn't. you have the criminal element, 1.4 million people ordered to leave the country and did not. if you've come across the border illegally, i'm sorry, you will have to do what the current law says, which is to be detained and deported. that's the law of the united states of america. that's what the biden-harris administration and alejandro mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security, haven't been enforcing the law. i don't think it's too much to ask that the trump administration and the united states start to do that and we need cooperation from every state and law enforcement. how we put up with these

sanctuary cities and states. drive them out. don't send them any other federal dollar until they comply. if you won't cooperate, maybe that check needs to slow down and not show up in your city or state for whatever grant you think you deserve. >> harris: you may get some citizens like those in chicago who have been on this very program this week who say many, particularly communities of color says we'll help you. that's what one of my guests said. you have citizens that say they have to. they aren't getting the resources and protection they need in a huge city in america, chicago. i want to get to this. federal agents in new york raided a new york city home and took into custody 22 suspected tren de aragua gang members. earlier this week, 16 suspected tda gang members were taken into custody in colorado following a home invasion. they've decided 16 were taken

into custody potentially as gang members. a high number of that 19. police say the suspects robbed, kidnapped and tortured a man and woman at the apartment complex in aurora where members of the gang were seen earlier breaking into units. this is untenable. somebody has driven our car into the ditch and we're stuck but not for long. 32 days. >> not for long. an aggravating circumstance should be gang affiliation. if you are trying to target the millions of people that are here, who needs to go first? those gangs. you will need not just ice but you will need the u.s. marshals exceptional at fugitive tracking them down from the law and getting them into custody and need the f.b.i. and a lot of local law enforcement as well. sheriffs, they are elected by their public. they are the ones that will probably take the brunt of the local law enforcement needs.

they aren't going to be subject to the whims of a governor hochul or a governor newsom. let those sheriffs go out and do their job and answer to voters and the world will be a safer place. >> harris: amen. jason chaffetz, merry christmas. thank you. >> merry christmas, thank you. >> harris: again, i just said we're getting down to nearly 30 days from inauguration day and trump's return to office. some washington, d.c. area e eateries are saying they won't -- a pizza owner is facing a backlash. she posted out, she is with me next.

>> harris: more than 10,000 workers at starbucks are picketing. it is day five of a strike. they are taking place at more than 500 locations in los angeles, chicago, seattle, likely to last through christmas eve. another strike is happening for a second day to tell you about as well. the teamsters union of drivers is picketing against amazon at seven facilities across four states, which just five days to go until christmas. fox business correspondent madison is live at one of those facilities in new york. curious to know how many people this represent and how we feel this, madison. >> absolutely. we're talking about thousands of drivers across the seven locations but when you think about the size of amazon it is still a fraction of the drivers that they contract with. amazon is saying because it is only a fraction we aren't going to have delays.

we'll have delays in queens in new york. these strikers here are marching along the sidewalk in front of the driveway of the distribution center blocking trucks. the trucks are eventually let out. they try to let out a couple at a time. there will be delays on the ground here trying to get their message across, that they want amazon to sit down with the teamsters to acknowledge the union and them as employees. we asked amazon are you willing to sit down with the teamsters? >> there is no reason for amazon to sit down with the teamsters. they don't represent any of our employees and they don't represent any of the third-party delivery service providers that we contract with. >> i'm here with tyrus, one of the drivers that is protesting. amazon says you are not employees, don't work for amazon. what is your response to that? >> i'm amazon worker. he wear the uniform. i deliver out of their vans and this is the amazon warehouse. we're all amazon workers, my brothers and sisters are here to

get a contract from amazon. they need to come to the table to come and make their workers and customers happy. >> that's how long this is expected to last, they said they will do this until amazon comes to the table so we could be seeing this well through christmas. send it back to you. >> harris: all right. thank you very much. madison. appreciate the update on that. i want to get to this now. a headline, clashes are coming for trump officials dining out in d.c. that sounds physical. bartenders told that outlet they will make these people uncomfortable to take their power back. yeah, it does some physical. area pizza owner has already found herself at the center of backlash after she issued a congratulation post to the president-elect after winning the election. congratulations, we gift the

white house a nice italian wood burning pizza oven. election day #2024, so on and so forth. well, internet trolls were not happy about it. one person said are you trying to go out of business? another one star review coming and this one, tone deaf. maria is the owner of this pizza restaurant. i want to first of all find out did it even occur to you saying maybe i shouldn't send out this post? >> the restaurants in d.c. talk about politics regularly. there was a particular establishment that was posting that they will be popping bottles of champagne in harris wins. we were hopping on trying to promote ourselves and while i did expect some comments i did not see that it would go as

viral as it did. >> harris: so if anybody had any doubt, perhaps the establishments are not bipartisan. kamala harris was getting love and when you gave some to donald trump it was problematic for your restaurant. tell me what you've experienced there? >> yes, people said wishing for our restaurant to go out of business. we've been here since 2012. then they started saying how the city doesn't need fascist restaurants. we were called all sorts of name and one lady in particular yelled profanities at my husband on the street. outside of that it has been limited to social media. there has been some upside to what we did. as the posts started going viral we received many more messages of support. far outweighing the negative comments that showed me that people even in a blue place like
