joining us. a busy night on capitol hill. the house just passed that continuing resolution. >> what is it, 3.0, to keep the government funded through march? >> it's now headed to the senate, but the government could still partially shut down at midnight tonight. >> let's go live to capitol hill, where fox news senior correspondent. congressional correspondent, of course, chad pergram is standing by. >> chad, what can you tell us tonight? laura? good evening. well, of course, as you say, we're waiting for the senate here. the senate is in session right now. i'm looking at a roll call vote that's unrelated to this, but we expect them to take this up sometime in the next couple of hours. the question is whether or not they can get this done before midnight, or whether or not some senators want to kind of slow down the process, take some time, have debate, and maybe they get in to some point during the day on saturday and there's a technical shutdown. or maybe they wrap this up right around midnight. the house of representatives vote was 366 to 34. there were no democratic no's, and there were 34 republican no's. jasmine crockett, who is a democrat

from texas, she voted present. now, this new bill, as you called it, the 3.0 bill was 118 pages. it renews funding for all government programs at the present levels through march 14th. it renews the farm bill for a year. there is also an emergency agriculture provision in this emergency spending for farm programs, and $110 billion in disaster relief that goes to florida and north carolina after the hurricanes this fall. so right now, we're waiting on the united states senate to chuck schumer. the democratic leader is supposed to have a press conference at this hour. he's going to be talking about judges, but inevitably, he will be asked about the state of play on this bill and how quickly they can process it right now. you know, it's just a question of do senators want to take their time? they are allowed that right to speak, or if they do this by the book, and this isn't going to happen, but this is the possibility they could really stretch that out for a couple of days to sync up with the house of representatives, but that's probably not going to happen.

this is probably going to be wrapped up sometime late tonight, or maybe around midnight. but again, that deadline is 1201 saturday morning. but there is not going to be a government shutdown law. >> all this drama. chad, right before christmas. >> come on. it wouldn't be christmas if this wasn't happening on capitol hill. chad, thank you so much as always. all right. joining me now, alabama senator tommy tuberville. senator coach the bill now going to you guys in the senate. what do you think. what do you know. it got overwhelming support. no government shutdown. what don't you like in this legislation if anything. >> well laura. third time's a charm, right? we've been working on this all week long. this is what we can't have happen when president trump takes office. this was kind of a preseason game to get all the all the all the kinks worked out. we had a lot of problems. we found out where people stood. but we'll vote on this tonight. we have a conference meeting in about an hour as the republicans, and then we'll start voting. we've got to do

something with the social security bill that was had closure on a day or so ago. and then we will do probably seven to 8 or 9 votes tonight. it'll be it'll be pretty late, probably somewhere around midnight. and obviously, you know, they rand paul and mike lee is going to want an amendment in this. and so we'll vote on those. but it'll be a late night. but that's fine. we'll get it done. better late than never. but as president trump said they didn't send us up here to be nice. they sent us up here to get results. and that's what we need to do. and we need to remember this going into january. >> well, senator ron paul, who i always like to read at times like this, says that it's not a good look when republicans and democrats negotiate together and present an unreadable bill. that was the first go around. but he's like, we're going to we're going to basically be bankrupt if this keeps going. and the democrats are trying to celebrate hakeem jeffries chalking this up as a huge win for the democrats. watch this.

>> house democrats have successfully stopped extreme maga republicans from shutting down the government, crashing the economy and hurting working class americans all across the land. >> senator, your reaction? he said basically, they got what they wanted here. >> where did they get this guy from? i mean, this time last night, he said, it's over. we're not agreeing to anything. you know, it's wrong. we had a we had an agreement and they backed out on it. it's a funny place up here, laura. but i know people get hurt because of what we do, but it's these these people can't get their both ducks in a row most of the time. >> but it's 1500 pages. it's down to 118 pages. and the best that the democrats can do, i think right now is say, oh, elon musk is running, is running the show for donald trump. that's their new

refrain. they knew they need a boogeyman. and musk is now it. does that work. do you think as a tactic going forward. >> no. no. they're going to try to embarrass president trump any way they can. he's the guy in charge, i promise you that. elon musk and vivek ramaswamy, they're going to do a great job. i like elon's text right after this bill passed. hey, we got the pork out of this one. now we need to get 2.5 trillion out of the government. and he's exactly right. exactly right. this place is an absolute cesspool when it comes to fraud, stealing money and just throwing money out the door and spending americans taxpayers money just as fast as we can. we got to quit doing this, senator. >> thank you as always, and have a very merry christmas. now to the white house, where fox's jackie heinrich is standing by. jackie, what's biden's reaction to all of this? >> well, laura, as this bill heads to the senate, the press secretary put out a statement saying that the president supports this bill. it delivers things that democrats wanted and averts. a shutdown includes

things like disaster relief for communities impacted by the hurricanes. and it doesn't have an extension to the debt ceiling, which they viewed as an accelerated vehicle to facilitate the 2017 tax cuts extension. that's a battle that democrats want to preserve for next year. use it as a point of leverage to oppose extending those cuts. but it was not clear this was going to pass. you know, house democrats weren't happy that they lost effectively, some of the ornaments on their christmas tree, bipartisan cr and also, they didn't want to jam senate democrats with a new bill, which is happening right now. hakeem jeffries did not have a vote recommendation when he sent his members to the floor. and that's pretty curious, because he only spoke with biden for the first time. we learned at noon today, 12 hours before the deadline for the shutdown, the white house was framing biden, staying out of the spotlight as a strategy, saying that trump and elon musk and congressional republicans would be the face of any kind

of shutdown. but it's made more curious by this, you know, politico report where you've got democratic rank and file members hand-wringing, saying that we don't know what the instruction is from above. and it comes against the backdrop of that new wall street journal report, which says that white house aides have been working overtime to manage a diminished president for years now. of course, that's a claim that the white house denies. but more and more, we're seeing a picture of a president who is still in office but not in charge, with trump calling the shots. laura. >> well, we have steve ricchetti, right. you have jeffrey zients. you have kirby. you have kringen. you know, jean-pierre, i mean, you have a lot of people, but no biden tonight. i don't expect we'll see him. jackie, as always, thank you very much. now joining us is charlie hurt. washington times opinion editor jason chaffetz, former chair of the house oversight committee. both fox news contributors. jason, now, this debt ceiling issue is very, you know, very wonky to people outside of d.c,

but this does not raise the debt ceiling. now, when you're reading about this tonight, analysts will say this will make it trickier for donald trump to find that 2 trillion, two plus trillion in spending cuts, because they actually account for tax cuts, 4 trillion in tax cuts as spending on capitol hill. so he will run into trouble with that calculus on on in congress. is that not the case? >> partially. look, donald trump was right. they should have disposed of the debt ceiling before he gets sworn into office. and it's a shame that they weren't able to get that done. but they score a tax cut as if it cost the american taxpayers. but when we did the first round of the trump tax cuts, guess what? revenue to the treasury went up. but the way that they they score these things, they don't get credit

for that. it's not dynamic scoring. and that's the problem. and so they can deal with this i think republicans will pass that. they will understand if they see true cuts to spending. they're going to raise the debt ceiling. it makes sense. nobody thinks we're going to raise we're going to balance the budget in the first, you know, 12 months. but we're going to be moving on a trajectory to do that. and every single republican, i think, would be applauding that. >> well, i think charlie, president trump, and knowing him as i do, is probably somewhat annoyed they're going to put on happy faces. but i imagine if i were he, i'd be somewhat annoyed by this because it would have been a lot easier for him to do the no taxes on tips, all the things that he wants to do. if they had given him that two year suspension on the on the debt ceiling, and they don't have that now. so it's a lot of maneuvering and it's much harder with a smaller majority next year. that's what i kept telling everybody. >> yeah, well, and of course

donald trump is exactly right. it is harder to sort of negotiate the whole reason that he wanted to punt the or rather, to take care of the debt ceiling now is so that it doesn't mess up things next year. and it's exactly that kind of tactical thinking that for too long, republicans in washington have been incapable of doing. and he's the first person republican to come along and say, no, actually, let's do this strategically. and, and then and then really get all of everything we want once we republicans control both chambers of congress and the white house, and we don't have to deal with this other nightmare. so it's very it was a smart strategy. obviously. he i think you're right. he will be disappointed. and jason is exactly right about the scoring for tax cuts. but you know, that's what happens when you have government bureaucrats in washington in the swamp scoring bills. they score things in ways that like the real world

where you have to actually balance your checkbook and you're not allowed to print money. right. the way they would recognize the wins. and i and i still believe that once they get republicans get free and clear into next year, they're going to have to deal with that bill. but but this ultimately is a victory for them and for hakeem jeffries to now claim that this was somehow a victory for him when they lost whatever it was, 1400 pages of junk in the bill is just another example is another example of democrats. they just play mind games. that's all they know how to do is play mind games. >> yeah, well, i think, jason, we just want the incoming president to be super successful. and again, with a extremely narrow majority, you have to sometimes do things you don't want to do and you have to get to yes, somehow. and it's not pretty. it's not it's not pretty at all. it's very ugly. the process is. but he had to get there. johnson.

speaker johnson spoke about the president and his his part of this negotiations a short time ago. watch. >> i was in constant contact with with president trump throughout this process. spoke with him most recently about 45 minutes ago. he knew exactly what we were doing and why. and this is a good outcome for the country. i think he certainly is happy about this outcome as well. >> now, jason, who's the best negotiator that we know in washington or in the united states, i would say in the united states, is donald trump. the idea that donald trump shouldn't have been involved in this is ludicrous. >> yeah, yeah. he's the only leader in town. and the contrast with joe biden, who is just, you know, mia is just unbelievable, the contrast. and i can't even imagine what this would be like with a kamala harris. i mean, she has a hard time counting to ten. i don't know, but donald trump understands this and he's playing three dimensional chess. he will get us to where

we need to get to, and that is to put our economy and our books in a sound financial order. and that's what he's got to do. but it's hard because i got to tell you, there are less than 100 fiscal conservatives in the house, house of representatives. >> oh, no, there are. it's a swamp. >> it's going to be with republicans. yeah. they don't want to cut spending. >> the biggest problem trump has always had. yeah. the biggest problem he's always had frankly are with with the republicans okay. but he's defeated them all in the past and he'll defeat them again charlie jason thank you very much. have a merry christmas. everyone. catch jason sitting in for hannity tonight at 9 p.m. all right. and as christians around the world are preparing for the feast of the nativity. germany is reeling tonight from an apparent terror attack at a busy christmas market in the city of magdeburg. at least it's about two two hours west of berlin. we have two dead, 60 hurt, dozens more are in critical condition. after a driver

plowed his car into the crowd there. police have arrested a 50 year old saudi doctor. magdeburg again outside of berlin. it's quite a bustling city. and it. you know, remember, berlin was itself the scene of another deadly attack back in 2016. it was another christmas market, and back then it was 12 killed, 50 injured. joining me now is christian whiton, who's former state department senior adviser. christian and islamic terror strikes again. i'm not going to mince words tonight. it's not questioning whether it's a terror attack. this is a terror attack. what's the goal here? >> it is a terror attack. you know, this comes just about a week after islamists walked through another christmas market in germany, in essen, shouting allahu akbar and waving around syrian flags. as you noted, there was a terrorist attack in a christmas market in 2016. this is islamist jihadist let into germany by both center right and the current left wing

government, an open door immigration policy. and here we have a saudi who's been in germany for something like two decades. assimilation in this case just isn't working. >> i'm not sure the german government actually wants it to work, but it's jihad on the march. and, you know, we can say that germany has an immigration problem, but so do we. every sanctuary city in the united states could face this threat. >> thankfully, we haven't so far. >> but this isn't just germany's problem. >> well, christian like we brought in 120,000 people from afghanistan. i guess we're all led to believe they're all former interpreters. okay? they all interpreted for our military. there's no vetting done that was exposed. and we're bringing in all these refugees from other countries as well, paroling them into the country. we don't know their background. there is no way to vet them. isn't that the truth? tonight, as we see these poor german people, christians before christmas, suffering christian, your reaction? >> yes, it is the problem. yes.

and obviously with the illegals and the gotaways, we don't know anything about them, but we don't even ask people who are immigrating here really about their backgrounds. and we'll ask them if they're part of al qaeda, if they've been part of a terrorist group, but really trying to dig in into whether they believe in the unification of mosque and state, whether they adhere to political islam, whether they want a caliphate. and there was just this big protest in hannover in germany calling for a caliphate there. you can bet that a lot of people here want that, too. and we need to find these people and remove them from the united states. the stakes are high. we've been lucky and thankfully, again, because we can't. trump is the president who is, you know, clear about this? >> you bet. christian, thank you very much. tragic news. and it's infuriating. infuriating. pray for the people of germany. and coming up, china has your phone number. what else does it have? data. personal information. are they compiling a dossier on you and your family? we're going to tell you the shocking details next. >> melissa gilbert here. i've

rules. >> barry loudermilk sounds off on the january 6th committee

water. >> two disturbing stories that confirm what the angel has warned about for many years. china is the enemy within. first, the next time you send a text or email on your cell phone, know that the ccp may be reading it, scooping up your personal data, even tracking

your location. this is all because of the weak security in our major cellular networks. more than a million americans had their data stolen by chinese hackers, and it might be even worse than we thought. >> the extent of it is quite serious. i can't speak publicly to how it occurred. >> how long has this been going on? months. >> it is not an overnight hack. this is a very sophisticated one, and it's still going on. and it is still going on. >> let's keep making cell phones and routers. let's keep making those in china, because that always works out well for us and the american worker in the end. so what's china going to do with everything they're gathering? experts say they are using data and ai to build dossiers on every american for future use. so what took us so long figuring this out and why are we allowing this? and that's not our only concern.

there's a story out of california where just learning about china's infiltration and influence on the state's politics there. yesterday, u.s. officials arrested a chinese national for acting as an illegal agent for beijing. he was serving as the campaign manager for an unnamed city council member in southern california two years ago. this is in addition, of course, to what we already know about the chinese secret police setting up shop in cities like new york to monitor and punish chinese nationals living in the u.s. anything else? i mean, yeah, when mayorkas says something is serious because, you know, he says nothing is serious, i think it probably is pretty serious. joining me now, gordon chang, gatestone institute senior fellow. gordon, you know, mayorkas said the border wasn't open. it wasn't a crisis. but apparently they're very concerned about this. china is spying on american citizens. why should american citizens be worried here? >> well, as you point out,

china is compiling a dossier on every american, and they're going to use that for blackmail and other nefarious purposes. and we got to sort of assume right now that they've got access to every phone call, every text, every email message. so they're scooping up enormous amounts of data. china knows more about american citizens than the american government does. >> does this have anything or any in any way relevance to the number of chinese who have come here to study? gordon. i mean, hundreds of thousands, of course, over the years. i remember there were 300,000 foreign students from all countries during covid. remember, we were going to send them back during covid, but we i don't think we ended up doing that. but there's a concern about that as well here. >> yes. because china uses every point of contact to take down our society. so we had had almost 400,000 chinese students. and we know that chinese consular officials and ministry of state security

agents were surveilling them and coercing them, and they coerced about 13% of them to steal information and data for china. so this has become a national security issue. you know, most chinese students, they don't want to do this, but we have allowed chinese agents to operate on our soil and to commit crimes. and we've known this for decades. >> and, gordon, to that point, the daily caller is reporting that the federal government has given grants to 50 researchers currently working in u.s. universities or labs, who are listed as experts of chinese government talent recruitment schemes, and that incentivizes participants to steal foreign technologies that are needed to advance china's national military and economic goals, according to the fbi. well, you and i have talked about this before, but again, talk about letting the fox into the henhouse here. >> yeah. this is insane. you know, we know that these individuals and these talent programs of china take

information and data and knowledge and intellectual property, and they ship it right back to beijing, to the chinese military. and we're actually funding it now, as the daily caller points out. this is just crazy how we could have allowed this when we've known of that about this threat for decades. and yet we continue to feed a chinese war machine that is actually configuring itself to kill americans. >> gordon, thank you, as always. we appreciate it. and up ahead, out of control behavior in schools, fueled by the desire to get more clicks on social media. so is there a way to stop it? one man says yes. >> the fox nation holiday sale is here. >> there's only one thing in my life that really matters. >> so start streaming fox nation's original premium content and you'll save 50% on our annual plan. >> do you believe you were sent by god? >> yes. >> we need you. >> they need me. >> get fox faith. >> if you have christ, all the other stuff is overflow. >> and new exclusive series the fox nation holiday sale. there's no better place to

no, you do not push and shove out. >> but the fights we're seeing among young people today, they're far outside the ordinary. they're often vicious and recorded for social media. >> cell phone video shows the chaos that unfolded during that fight, which involved at least 100 students on three different floors. >> you can hear the 14 year old screaming in pain in this cell phone video showing the girls attacking, beating her at potomac high school, punching her repeatedly in the head, the face breaking her nose as she cowers on the ground. >> now, this uptick in fights is one of the reasons why school districts across the country are deciding to ban cell phones, including broward county, florida. joining me now is alan zeman, broward county school board member. alan, i can't tell you how many parents i have talked to, and i have three teenagers who have been

begging their schools to do just what you all are doing now. your band just started this year of the cell phones. what have you found since the ban? >> well thanks laura, i have three kids in school as well, and our ban so far has reduced fighting, which is wonderful. >> and when you think about cell phones and how they fuel the beginning of fights and the middle of fights and the last the length of fights, the number of people that can be involved in fights. we think this is a pretty sage policy for broward county schools. >> so our our people just taking our students taking their phones, or were they taking their phones to record what happened? are what you saying is what we say in our banner are the were these fueling fights were the or was it was it all feeding on itself because of the social media? >> well, when you look at the beginning of fights and cyberbullying and the inciting

of groups of people to conduct violence, that is all enabled by technology, particularly cell phones, then you think about kind of the actual fight and people, instead of de-escalating or intervening in a good way, are filming the fight so that they can show it to other people. >> and then after the fact, you know, we have cell phones, again, not helping us to do the right thing in fights, but actually broadcasting those things to other people. and so at every stage of a fight, what we have been told and what the research shows, is that cell phones actually enable incite fights, not only make the fights more common, laura, but also make them more severe and have more people involved. you can't get dozens of people involved in a fight without cell phones. >> no, i mean, this is just insanity and i'm so glad you've done this. i'm so glad one of my son's schools has, you know, they have those pouches where you put your phone in the pouch and you can't get it, i guess,

until the end of the day. but but you're also cautioning other schools not to do that. well, check in at lunchtime. you can check in during breaks. that is not the way to go. i understand. >> well, the research suggests that the longer kids don't have their cell phones, the better off they're going to be. and not just in terms of avoiding violence, but better academic performance. >> right? >> which is the core mission of our schools and less mental illness. >> and we are in the middle of an epidemic of mental illness amongst teenagers and young adults. >> and it coincides directly with the amazing expansion of social media through cell phones. >> so i think no matter how you look at the research or what data you look at, this is going to work out better for all students the way we've done it. >> no cell phone from bell to bell, no pouches, no strings. >> okay, my next thing is get rid of the pouches in the school. so no cell phones. bell to bell, i love it. it's really easy to follow. allen. the

reaction from parents. i already know what the reaction is going to be. i mean, i know people worry about emergencies, but somehow we all survived when we were kids without cell phones. but the reaction 1 to 1010 being the most positive reaction. what's the reaction been? >> i'd have to give it a 9.8. >> and in broward, by the way, we allow kids to hold on to their phone, but it has to be in airplane mode and not used. so if there is an emergency, they can go right into regular mode and make that call. and i think that's smart. but what parents are telling us are things like at dinner time, their kids are coming to the table without their cell phones, so no bowl in the middle where you got to throw your phone and everybody pretend like they're not paying attention. >> they're not using the phones after school because they've learned it for 6 or 7 hours. >> they can live without it. >> when you look at the cell phone usage, like if you follow your kids on. on breaks, you see, you see the cell phone usage skyrocket. it's crazy. you're doing the right thing. more schools have to get on

this is child abuse, laura. i am so ticked off when i see these things. but you know what it is. it's parents who are so addicted to the clicks and the clickbait that they're creating on social media. they're willing to sell out their own kids and terrorize them this way. it's really bad for the parents and the kids. frankly. >> yeah. raymond, you know, we're going to be talking about this trend of phones and schools and what that's done to kids. how about what it's done to parents? right, right. this is insane. >> you know, i read something by a child psychologist who said it sets kids up for ptsd, anxiety and depression. this kind of traumatic act. it's stupid. just don't do it. i hope their hearts grow a few inches this christmas. >> i mean, it's it would be

better if just, you know, if you want if you want to do something funny, have joe biden come to the party and he can sniff everybody. okay, raymond, i'm granting you three christmas wishes. >> well, thank you, laura. >> christmas time. >> i wish that no fruitcakes would ever darken my door again, i prefer carolers. what happened to christmas? carolers? laura. no, that's not my real wish. my first wish is. i really wish that the theater kids would just sit down and watch the movie that we paid to see, even if it's a musical. please. flying solo. >> at least i'm flying free. to those who ground me. take a message back from. me that i won the flying gary. >> it's bad enough. >> when did this become a group performance? >> yeah, exactly. this is not your moment to shine. you want to be in a movie, you want to

be in theater? go audition for something. but to spoil a movie by jumping up in front of everybody. it's horrible. look, wicked is bad enough. i was dragged to see it. it's bad enough what they committed to celluloid. we don't need the amateurs jumping around and doing their own version. >> okay, wait a second. my. yeah, haley told me that i have to see it. she said it's fantastic. you say it's no good. oh, i guess you did tell us it was no. >> pull the old tapes of kristen chenoweth and idina menzel doing the originals. i think it's a skosh better. their voices are certainly better. look, not to spoil the christmas celebrations, laura, but when we're in the middle of merry making, i wish we didn't have to hear the bizarre prattling of those national decor experts. the waltzes, toilet paper roll. >> angel, you made it. >> did you see your little hands here? hands on the back are the angel wings. >> so here we go on the tree. >> not on a real tree, but on this family tree. >> oh, dad. >> got it on there. joy to the

world. >> all right, there you go. >> i know you're missing your griswold family. >> laura. you know this to the world. these are the only people that lose the national election, and they become chip and joanna gaines. how did this happen? next, you'll be giving dance lessons, you know? gosh. help us. >> no! raymond. raymond. i thought she was going to say. you have to hang the angel. hang the angel. >> hang. >> turn the page. hang the stockings. she should have done that whole cadence with all the at least stay on brand. that would have been funny, i agree. come on. all right, raymond, final wish. i can't believe it. 2024. what a wild, wild year. laura. >> i wish when rihanna approached the alleged queen of christmas, mariah carey for a signature, she would just bring a photo or an autograph book. like normal people, i need a signature. >> who got the sharpie? >> wow, this is iconic. this is

mariah carey is signing my. >> i guess that's not all rihanna wanted for christmas. there was something a little extra there. please. this is a christmas show. don't show your body parts for signature at a christmas show. my gosh, raymond, my thing is, are they outside in the in the bright sunshine? >> what's going on with rihanna? barclays arena condition god bless her. >> yeah. no, that's the barclays arena. she's in an arena. finally. laura, i got to share this with you. this just broke. the president and first lady brought some holiday cheer to children's hospital. a lovely gesture, but one of the kids was snagged by biden. and he did what so many voters did. he rejected him, ran away, and later threw things at him. merry christmas, a wink of his eye and a twist of his head soon gave me to know i had nothing to get a whistle. >> and away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

>> but i heard him. >> it would have been funnier if it played when i described it. but we'll let you. we'll leave you with that bit of holiday cheer. at least he didn't sniff him. i watched the video. >> he's like, hey, that's a super mega, mega, mega trumper person. that's what he is. he's a little mega, i know it. take that, take that jumper off. i know i love maga tattoo underneath that somewhere. oh biden is not. biden is usually good with kids, except when he gets too close. but raymond, can you. by the way, we have set off a raging debate on social media about real versus fake christmas trees, and i decided to post a photo of my kids. >> i invite the viewer to look closely. look closely at that tree in the background. you tell me, ladies and gentlemen, if that's a real or an artificial tree. she already admitted it the other night. i'm going to post. i'm going to go on instagram and post the segment so people can hear for

themselves. laura, i'm from your mouth. >> i may have switched out. oh wait, santa's calling. he's very. oh no, i may have switched out the trees. so people have to understand that it doesn't look perfect. see, it's all messed up at top. that's a telltale sign. it's a real tree. but you all can vote. raymond, have a wonderful christmas. and all the all the rest. and by the way, in the new year, the last time people said we're going to be merry making. is that what your script said? merry making. whose merry making are you partying? >> i just did a whole album number one on amazon jazz charts. merry and bright. we're merry. >> making laura the spider who sang christmas raymond next year. >> love you, i love you back. >> thank you. all right. merry christmas. all right. the annual awards. the best. the worst moments of the year. oh, this is going to be fun. next! >> all aboard! >> oh, abby's going to santa's school. i can hear the santa's singing already. she's taking the reins, getting good tips.

the annual angel awards, and it has been a wild ride, folks with inspiring moments, legendary takedowns, and a completely unhinged media here to break it all down. the best the worst moments of the year is lisa boothe, fox news contributor, and matt tory, political analyst and pollster extraordinaire. both of you, it's great to have you on. now, our first category, i think is going to be maybe the easiest, but it's the most inspiring moment of the year. and here are the nominees. donald trump's butler moment. we got to do. daniel pennie getting acquitted. >> how they dismissed the top charges. >> it just showed their arrogance that they were going to get me on something. >> and the unc frat bros

reacting to the takedown of the american flag. those are the nominees for the most inspiring moment of the year. lisa, who's the winner? well, i picked donald trump's fight, fight, fight. >> obviously that was a devastating event that took place. we lost corey and others were shot as well. but that was the unity and the fighter that america needed. >> i mean, we had been kicked in the teeth as a country. >> we lost sight of what it means to be america, and we lost our standing on the world stage. and then you saw the bravery and the courage of him standing up in the face of bullets, saying, fight, fight, fight! >> as the crowd chanted in unity, saying, usa! >> so it was a uniting moment for the country. >> it was a turnaround for the country. yeah, i mean, i like the frat brothers lifting up the flag and holding it up. you didn't really see them. they actually hoisted it back up on the flagpole. but matt, i mean,

this is not even a close call. >> no it's not. >> in fact, trump's fight, fight, fight is one for the ages, not just for the year. >> this is for the ages. i, i don't think i've ever seen an event quite like that. >> and now it's seared in everyone's mind from now on. >> so he's the winner on that one big time. >> all right. that's official. the winner of the most inspiring moment of the year is donald trump. moving on to our next category. the biggest crash and burn of the year. the nominees first, kamala harris. >> the outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for. >> joe biden. >> so i've decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. >> and, of course, take a load off fanny. >> there's no ledger. >> this is friends handing money off to each other. >> we were friends.

>> we hung out. >> we hung out. but he never gave me any money. all right, those are the nominees for biggest crash and burn of the year. matt, who do you have taking the trophy? >> well, i'm still a member of the georgia bar, so i'm going to pass on the fanny. but i would say the biggest crash and burn was was was kamala harris. she, you know, she took off and it looked like there was joy everywhere. >> and then that campaign just started to fall apart. >> we talked about it every week. >> i think that the biden thing we knew was never going to take off. >> he was in trouble. >> i think she's the big crash and burn for 2024. >> lisa. >> well, we might need awards for all three if we're being honest, but i think joe biden look, this is a guy who has been in politics for more than half his life. >> he was first elected in local office in 1970. he's been wanting to be president his entire life. he ran in 1988. he was 1988. >> yeah. >> well, no, but but yeah.

>> and then he gets to this moment finally. and he has to leave both, you know, mentally incompetent, disgraced, destroyed and beaten by joe biden and his own party and then corrupt with the pardon to hunter biden. so he leaves office in disgrace. >> yeah. the winner of the biggest crash and burn is going to have to break this tie. i think it's kamala. we did it, joe. >> all right? we did enough. >> can't win them all. no, can't win them all. lisa and matt, we can't get through all the categories. but next time thank you very much. have a great have a great christmas, both of you. all right. that is it for us tonight and for me for the year. but make sure to follow me throughout until we're back in january on social media. thank you for watching all year long. we have great shows next week as well. and remember jesse watters, he takes it from here. >> hello everyone. i'm dana perino along with j
