saturday. peter doocy on the doocy side of the couch today with carley shimkus -- carley: hello, guys. peter: griff, we could have just done this in d.c. and had carl are ey, there would be no snow. griff: it is very important, because snow kicks us off, and i am representing the kilmeade side. a gingerbread house competition, for which you have experience, so i've got to bring underdog kilmeade side up. peter: if decorating ginger bread cookies is a doocy family tradition. the dough is probably already out in my mom's kitchen. carley: it's resting. the dough needs the rest. it's snowing outside in new york city. we just showed that beautiful shot of pennsylvania where it's coming down there too. i didn't know there was a bath in pa -- griff: a ski resort in pennsylvania. pennsylvania has great skiing, by the way. my wife's from near pittsburgh, and everything year we would -- every year we would go home

there, the hills are a little smaller, but, you know, it's snowing, so they're ready to do. carley: it's the saturday before christmas which means it's an extra special weekend morning. we hope you're all having a wonderful time with your friends and family, but we do have some news to get to. the senate passing a bill to stop a government shutdown, sending it to president biden's desk after missing the midnight deadline e by just 37 minutes. peter: the measure extends government funding into march. it includes roughly $100 billion in disaster leaf of and relief for farmers. if. griff: newly-passed 118-page bill does not include many policies that were in the original 1500-page proposal including health care provisions, restricting investments in china, pay raises for lawmakers -- that was a stickler -- and suspending the debt ceiling. peter: the president-elect reportedly not happy about the bill, especially the fact that the spending deal does not

include suspending the debt ceiling. speaker mike johnson says he did talk to mr. trump. >> i was in constant contact with president trump throughout this process. he knew exactly what we were doing and why, and this is a good outcome for the country. griff: now president biden signaling that he will sign the c.r. bill into law and really, you know, i think a lot of the country relieved that, hey, the government's not shut down. it's going to be okay. peter: okay. but we've got this on the big board here, big 30-foot monitor, all of the things this bill does. yes, the four main points. lawmakers don't care about any of that, they just wanted to go home. [laughter] this happens every year, and they talk about how washington spends like a drunken sailor, and then they vote for it anyway because they have flights and, as we mentioned, there are a lot of delays. but the extraordinary thing about this even though it happens every year, we are watching an incoming president, donald trump, negotiate bills

that the current president, joe biden, hen has to sign. carley: yeah, it's so true. and i think one of the most effective images was the one that elon musk tweeted that showed how bill the bill was, that huge stack of pages when it was 1500 pages, and then it went down to 118 which is what is going on to signed by joe biden later today. 1 is senate republicans -- 11 senate republicans and 34 house republicans did care enough to sick the around because those are the number of republicans who ended no even on this third bill. it received almost all democrat support minus bernie sanders who's an independent in name only. [laughter] i think he voted either no or stay on it. the reason is because republicans said it didn't strip away enough funding. thomas massie said this isn't complicated, separate the bills and vote on them individually. one vote on on a clean c.r., one vote on a debt limit, one vote op on disaster relief, one vote

on a farm bailout. he says radical right individual bills for each issue. that's' not what happens at the end of the year with these the omnibus spending bills. peter: we have another story that's near and dear to my heart. it has to do with the white house press briefing room. yesterday there were zero questions about huge "wall street journal" story that cites people with, apparently, the biggest cover-up in washington since watergate. it was 18 pages long when i printed it, but the gist is that there were staff, unelected white house staff, who knew during the last campaign and transition that president biden might be diminished, and they actively worked to hide that information from the american public. and we don't know what it necessarily means for his decision making, but this is a huge story, and somehow there was no curiosity, and our colleague, jacqui heinrich, was in the room. she was not called on.

i have a source familiar that this was on her list. carley: yeah. peter: 20 questions about the spending bill that has nothing to do with at -- carley: i bet she is your source, and she said there were no questions about this "wall street journal" report. she said some of us, ahem, couldn't, didn't get a chance. and i'm sure you would have asked -- peter: and typically when i am in the white house press briefing room getting an arm workout for the first hour, i've got a list. and if something that i'm curious about comes up 20 times, i'll cross it out and go to the next thing. i don't know if anybody if else had this on their list of questions or if it's the still just so uncomfortable to ask even hoe this white house has, as of yesterday, only a month left. by griff yeah. it's a great point, too, to

highlight that no one asked because this article in the wall street journal, which is very lengthy as you point out, isn't just what we all saw in that june debate between trump and biden that sort of laid it all out, the whole country took notice, but it goes into things like democrat congressman adam smith if who was then-chair of the house armed services committee worried about the afghanistan withdrawal, couldn't get bind on the phone, didn't -- biden on the phone, didn't get to meet with him in person over what could be more important than the withdrawal of afghanistan. and if it begs the question of what will be biden's legacy? many point out on the darker side it's going to be that disastrous afghanistan withdrawal. here's actually what biden says he wants his legacy to be. listen here. >> history, all told, how do you want to be remembered? what do you want your legacy to be? >> that i kept my word.

that when i said i was going to do something, i did. and that my focus has always been about how to gifford their people a shot concern giver if ordinary if people a shot. it's about being able to be yourself and focus on people who need some help. and the vast majority of american people, all hay want is a chance, just a chance, and they'll do fine. peter: he wants his word as a biden to be his legacy. we've gone through the video archives morning. have a look at this. >> various shots that people are getting now cover that. you're okay. you're not going to get covid if you have these vaccinations. we have a process in place to manage migrants at the border. we're working to make sure it's safe and orderly and humane. >> -- looks like a crisis.

>> well, look, it's way down now. we've now gotten control. >> are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every american who wants on the out -- >> yes. >> -- is out? >> yes. inflation has come down 65%. >> will you accept the jury's outcome, their jerk, no matter what it is? >> yes. >> have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >> yes. carley: we certainly know that none of that came to pass, in particular the pardon at the end of that clip montage. i'm also reminded of when made the speech and said we are not going to have people in afghanistan hanging from the if embassy roof and trying, you know, to get them out saying that when we withdraw soldiers from afghanistan, everything is going to run smoothly. boy, was he wrong on that too. and another thing i notice ifed about that clip montage is we were playing clip ares from 2021, 2022, how greatly over this past 4-year period that his voice has even changed and howdy minished he has become while in

office. and going back to to that "wall street journal" reporting, even though it's more evident now in how he speaks and how to he sounds and there are issues with him taking stage instructions and where to go, white house staffers were even worried about him in 2021, at the start of the presidency. griff: and they brought in hollywood pros to talk about the voice, which you're abe that, which i mow you heard up close and personal. peter: listening to joe biden's voice has been my life's work for the last six years. and when i think about this when i watch this, and especially about afghanistan, the day of the abbey gate bombing, i was in a press conference, it was still socially distanced. and i asked him a question, something to the effect of do you bear responsibility for this, and he turned it around on me at the time asking questions about some deal that trump did with mike pompeo had negotiated. in the moment it was all about trump. and it's just, it was the an entire campaign and an entire

administration that they made about things they thought donald trump had done wrong. and and look where that got 'em. carley: it's so true. what a missed opportunity, peter, to your point, about karine jean-pierre not receiving a single question on this "wall street journal" reporting because she was up there for the past four years saying that everything is fine. and when we saw videos of him wandering around and not knowing how to exit stage, they were called cheap fake videos. so i am curious to see how the white house would respond to this legitimate 50-person source reporting on how deeply hair concerns -- peter: i tell you what, ifcare live leavitt in a --care live leavitt was at the most and there was this big cover-up to try to conceal -- carley: so true. peter: -- diminished faculties, that would be every single question. it would be every question. and if it's not like the white house press corps doesn't have it in 'em.

we did a briefing this summer where there were an hour's worth of questions about some parkinson's specialist that the kept coming to the white house. it it's not like it hasn't been a source of curious toty. i wish i had answers. i can't get in their heads. sometimes i would like to, most of the times i don't want to. griff: you keep trying to get them. meanwhile, we have snow here in new york, and we have winter storms dumping rain and snow all all along the i-95 corridor as aaa says 119 million people will travel this year. big cities like boston, providence and philadelphia are being impacted. carley: and this morning more than,000 flights -- 1,000 flights have already been delayed. party party let's turn to rick reichmuth for our fox weather forecast. rick: yeah. some delays out there. it could be worse. sometimes you get these massive, blockbuster storms. this isn't one of those, but we've got a big population zone, and that's going to have ripple

effects. snow across the northeast, most of the snow in new york city, waking up to snow this morning, it'll be out of here within the next hour or so. but behind it, some really cold air and windy conditions. and we've with got a lot of delays across airports in the northeast today the, and that will have those impacts downstream, any flights that are going through that area. want to look ahead at the next few days, tomorrow looking better. eastern seaboard looking great. we get really active weather this week. san francisco northward, look at the persistent chances of delays at least. tomorrow we'll have delays across parts of the great lakes. go towards tuesday, christmas eve, now you don't see any if delays right here, but we are going to have another chance of some snow on tuesday. go to wednesday and now you're look at a few more delays. overall, guy, no massive storms, but some fast moving storms that are going to cause problems at time. pick your airport, get some patience, plan if ahead and get

there on time. from griff mostly green on the map. that's good -- rick: i tell you what, we're going to have a big warmup, so any snow that's out there, a lot of that, i think, is going to be the melted by the time -- carley: okay. at least we've been warned in advance. rick, thank you so much. griff: christmas traditions, it's time for fun. what do you do? i'm going to jump in right now and say i kind of have a typical one. the family does pjs every year. hay do that, but my favorite family tradition of the last ten years is to dress our dog rascal up as santa. [laughter] there's rahs cag -- carley: he is so cute. what kind of dog is he? griff: he's a jack russell. and he doesn't really like the family tradition, he just hears the bells and sees the cans times and thinks, oh, my gosh, here we go. it's certainly important for the family. much like clark griswold, you've just got to suffer through it. there's kathleen, my wife, with

rascal. rascal trying to look for an exit. carley: i've got to get on the matching pj tradition. i forgot last year and this year too. fluff griff last year i took it upon myself, thought it was cute to have rascal's face on pjs, no one in the family would wear them. what do you do? carley: i don't have any pictures, but my if mom would bake a birthday cake and sing happy birthday to baby jesussen on christmas eve, which i love. and i think the i'm going to do with my son and future children if i'm blessed enough of them. i think it really does inject the reason for the season and why we're celebrating christmas, it's a big birthday -- griff: hold on. if you bake a cake for and brock wants to eat the cake, which is a high likelihood -- carley: oh, yeah, for sure. dive into the cake. there he is -- i wish i had a matching outfit with him. but i just love that picture, because he's so squeezed into

his onesie. peter: he's big. carley: we were at the iheart christmas festival. peter: my wife, when she was a toddler, she made a peanut baby jesus that somehow has still survived. that is the first thing on her -- carley: that is so cute. peter: and on the doocy side, something we're trying to start with my daughter as well, we all run down the stairs on christmas morning. look at this. remember, this predates having a phone. this had to be the handiwork of a father with television production if experience. and i came to new jersey! i was hoping to see my dad, i'm here in his chair at work, but he popped up somewhere that we don't usually see him -- carley: oh! hey, dad.

>> hello! hi, peter. i see you're drinking out of my cup. [laughter] peter: i took the steve yeti. it was right there next to the -- it looked clean. was it clean? >> it's clean. your mother cleaned it. peter: thank you. so i'm here in new york where you usually are, and you are down by mar-a-lago where i usually am. >> exactly right. peter, we were going the surprise you, we didn't realize you were doing "fox & friends," and then you wound up going to our house thinking -- you knocked on the door, we were going to be there, we're here down the road from -- i mean, i could say i'm in new jersey, but i don't think anyone would buy it right now because you don't see any if drones overhead, right? peter: i see the neighbors' house. i hope they're watching inside. so i would say that the number one thing everywhere that the i have gone for the last 20 years, 15 years on fox p people say i feel like i watched you grow up, i've seen you run down the stairs every single year.

when did you come come up with the idea for that? >> well, that picture right there, the first house is our house near great false, virginia, when we were all working in d.c. i, before you -- about the time you came along, peter, i read somewhere in a magazine about how a father took a picture of his children every year at christmas. and it was just a still frame. but i thought, you know what? weaver got video cameras -- we've got video cameras, so i started standing at the bottom of the stairs, and then every year i would stand in the same spot. we had the house in virginia and then that house right there in new jersey, and every year you would get a little bigger a and a little bigger, and there you are in college with really nice hair and then there's sally and then last but not least, mary. she was at boston the college.

and eventually, i wound up putting it all together. and there you are at the very beginning. the reason you're so excited is because you just saw cash register that you had asked santa -- at eyeson's galleria. and, in fact, your mother and i were down at the same gallery ya with you and hillary and bridget, and you sat on same santa location. carley: santa knew to give it to you. >> that's right. so i put that together, we ran are it on "fox & friends" a couple of years, probably 15 years ago, and every year i go people say, you know what? i saw that thing you did with your kids, and we do it at our house. we all know gavin hadden, one of the top producers on "fox & friends," he does that with his three boys. and there are people all across america who on christmas morning are going if to be the standing at the bottom of their stairs and rather than a video camera, they've got their phone. and 20 years from now they'll

put together a little montage and be, like, ah, you guys grew up so fast. peter: and we have started that with bridget and soon with her little brother. carley: yes! peter: once we have three, i think we can make it a bite -- carley: oh, my gosh. steve, are you excited about having a second grand child? a third. >> we are so excited, and i've got a feeling i'm going to see that grandchild, bridget, in about three hours, if i had to guess. griff: well, steve, it's great to have you here, and i'm going to be asking peter a little bit later if he ever came down the stairs ahead of the camera because he was in a hurry the see santa -- >> oh, listen, griff, great question. we would -- i'd be downstairs, and i would hear, hey, can we come down yet? [laughter] carley: they'd be hiding in the room. >> yeah. santa was here, but you're going to have to wait million your mother gets up -- until your mother gets up. griff: that's awesome.

thanks for joining us, steve. peter: thanks, dad. carley: merry, merry, merry, christmas. >> thank you, carley, griff and peter. griff: coming up, congressman mike lawler. that's next. lowe's knows the best holiday tradition is taking your tradition to the next level. so, if you find a lower price on the things you - want. - need. we'll match it. plus, with mylowe's rewards, you can earn points when you shop. to make the holidays even more... sweet. lowe's knows how to help you holiday.

peter: a fox news alert, the government funding bill on its way to president biden's desk after of the senate passed the measure just minutes past the deadline. the stopgap measure still a sticking point with many republicans as dozens of gop lawmakers voted no despite multiple revisions. but our next guest voted in father of the bill. re-- favor of the bill. republican congressman mike lawler. congressman, thank you for being here. >> thanks for having me, peter. peter: so last night republicans, with the help of democrats, passed this bill that did not include donald trump's number one ask, which was getting rid of or at least extending the debt ceiling. is that something that's going to happen soon? >> well, it's going to have to. the debt ceiling limit is reached next year, likely by about june. but, look, we're still in a divided government, and i think people fail to recognize that even though the focus has been on president trump. joe biden is actually still

president. which is really mind-boggling because nobody's heard from from him in weeks. and, in fact, during this entire negotiation he was nowhere to be found. look, i believe, like president trump, that the9 debt ceiling does need to be lifted. this is not about future debt, this is about previous debts incurred. and we have to to pay those debts. and every time you start paying the debts, you run up against the limit. and so the debt limit, while i understand its purpose, the reality is we're one of the only countries in the world that actually has it. it's been used as a political piñata for decades now. the party in the minority uses it as leverage in a negotiation. and i think what president trump is trying to avoid is giving democrats a load ared gun to

hold to his head here. we have a situation next year where republicans will be in complete control of washington, and we have a lot of work to do especially through reconciliation. we have to get our appropriations work done. and i think the president was trying to avoid democrats being able to use that as a weapon. interestingly enough, elizabeth warren agrees with him. he thinks the debt ceiling should be eliminated altogether. so, look, this is something we're going to have to deal with in the new year. i agree with my, you know, 34 or so colleagues that voted against the bill insofar as we have to reduce our debt. we're at $36 trillion. we have to bring down principal preponderance spending. -- federal spending. but we're going to be the best positioned to do that in the new year with republican control of washington, not right now in a divided government. peter: and a question about next year, congressman. to get this funding bill through

and to avoid the government shutdown, speaker johnson needed a lot of democratic help. when kevin mccarthy did that, he got canned. so in less than two weeks, is johnson toast? >> well, i reiterate removing kevin mccarthy was the single stupidest thing i've ever seen in politics. and, you know, really undermind our ability as a -- undermined our ability as a majority for the entirety of the 118th congress. removing mike johnson would equally be as stupid. peter: and so you're going to vote for mike johnson in two weeks on the first ballot? >> absolutely. look, president trump needs to have his election certified on january 6th. if you don't have a speaker, you can't certify the election. so to throw, you know, a grenade into the speaker vote would disrupt the ability to certify the election and, frankly, get president trump sworn in on

january 20th. we don't have the time nor the margin to do that. so we need to work together as a team. i get people's frustration, but let's focus on the work of the american people and put the petty grievances aside. peter: and to your point, no speaker, can't certify the election in that case, i saw somewhere if that happens, then the president on inauguration day would be chuck grassley. thank you, congressman mike lawler. [laughter] >> thank you. merry christmas, everyone. peter: merry christmas. coming up, tren de aragua gang members busted hiding out next to a new york city daycare. a former i.c.e. official on the crisis the media tried to ignore. further than your budget. with mylowe's rewards... you shop. so, you can get more and give more too. join my lowe's rewards for free today. lowe's knows how to help you holiday.

peter: we're back with a fox news alert. a memorial service is being held this afternoon for five people who were killed in a suspected terror attack at a german christmas market yesterday. german if officials say a driver rammed into a crowd, hurting more than 200 others, and they are calling it a deliberate attack. stephanie bennet is joining us now from hon loan -- london. >> reporter: and those numbers are likely to increase over the next few hours. police will be holding a press conference later on today, in about an hour and a half, so we will be watching that very closely. as you mentioned, authorities say at least five people have been killed, 200 others are injured. 41 of which are considered serious injuries. the city's mayor says they will be holding a memorial service at the loca three drag later today the getting -- cathedral later today. also a suspect is in custody and is currently being yesterday, and a lot of questions for him at this point. the attack happened around 100 miles west of berlin, just five

days before christmas. the market was obviously packed with people spending their friday night with family and friends. witnesses say a car drove at high speed, it was a black bmw, plowing through the crowd. chaos and confusion then ensued as visitors tried to help all of these victims. as a precaution, other christmas markets in germany shut down last night, and many around the world have upped security including over there there in new york. over the years markets have added things like 24/7 security and steel concrete safety barriers as precautions. local reports say the market not reopen this year, and flags will be lowered to half staff. german counselor o olaf schultz visited the site today and said that today will be a day of grieving and mourning and, quote, what a terrible act it is to injure and kill so many people there with such i brutality. a 50-year-old saudi arabian doctor who first came to germany in 2006, he's in custody. authorities have not yet

released a motive, but they say he was acting alone. today they will be focusing on the suspect's background and will be checking things like his internet history and also his cell phone. now, of course, this comes almost eight years to the day when 12 people were killed in berlin after a truck rammed through a christmas market there, injuring at least 50 others. so-called islamic state said one of its soldiers carried out that attack. again, german police are expected to give an update within the next two hours, hour and a half, so we hopefully will be are getting more information then. toss it back to griff. griff: such a tragic story. we'll continue to foil. stephanie bennet live in london, thank you very much. meanwhile, aurora, colorado, police charging 11 suspected tda gang members in a violence home invasion this week -- violent home invasion is. now critics are pointing to past media coverage painting the reports as a hoax. but these violent migrant gangs

continue to spread with federal authorities catching 22 suspected tda gang members in new york city including 7 hiding out in this apartment building you see here right next door to a daycare center. former head of i.c.e.'s denver region john fabricatoren joins us now. it's unbelievable how much tda has spread across the nation from colorado to new york city. but i want to ask you, you retired in 2022. and what really is shocking to me, john, is that just a few years ago the head of i.c.e., the head of border patrol, no one had ever heard of tren de aragua. had you heard of it? when did you first become aware? >> so i first started becoming aware in 2023, in december, that they had started to move across the border. now, we had known tren de aragua was down in venezuela and some of the south american countries, but we really started to get notice, you know, around 2022,

2023, and i knew that they were here in denver at that time. and and, you know, we started putting that out to the media. and even when we leased this video that we're looking -- we released this video that we're looking at, the media still tries to suppress this, sweep it under the rug. christmas time, we've got a bunch of grinches in the media that are trying to hide things on us. and allst the done, tren de aragua has been allowed to keep spreading. we've got them in over 17 states now. griff: well, we are certainly not hiding it here and having people like you to warn the country is an important thing. i want to connect some dots here and ask another sort of angle, and that is "the new york times" reporting today that the biden administration on the way out the door is weighing putting up roadblocks to trump's deportation campaign by extending temporary protective status, tps, for countries like venezuela. how do you see that impacting things? >> you know, right away trump's going to target who he wants the

target, and that's going to be criminal illegal aliens, national security cases and gang members. this temporary protective statuses is just that, it is temporary. so even if biden goes through and he, you know, enforces this and says that they can have another 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, trump can either stand by and allow that to happen, or he can revoke it when he comes into office. president trump's got time, he's got a plan. tom homan's going to implement that plan, and if they decide they want to do something with tps right away, they can. if not, business as usual. griff: we are certainly going to see a change when the incoming administration if takes over. john, thank you very much for taking the time, and merry christmas. >> merry christmas, griff. i appreciate it. griff: australia passing a first-ever social media ban for kids under 16 last month. now a majority of americans say they want the same. an expert on the right call for kids.

children for years. nyu professor and hour of "the anxious generation," jonathan hyatt joins me now. 60% of people say they do support a ban on social media for children. what do you think about that? >> well, i think it's fantastic, and it's the actually kind of obvious. you know, in the real world we don't let kids do everything that adults can do, especially if it's exposing hem to graphic sexuality, graphic violence, addiction or physical or mental harm. we have age limits. except if it's on social media where you let your kid open an account on snapchat, instagram or tiktok, they're going to be the exposed and become addicted, 10% of them, 20. and they're going to be exposed to things that are physically dangerous for them. tiktok challenges, things like that. so i'm thrilled. it's about time. we need to get an age limit in the u.s. too.

carley: the cdc found that 15 percent of children ages 12-17 have anxiety, 9% have depression, and 7.5% have behavioral disorders. i mean, these are kids 12, 13, 14. this should be the most care-free time of their lives. do you think that these numbers are a result of the increase in social media use among children? >> yes. actually, many studies show that the rates are much, much higher than that, closer to 30 or 40% for girls especially. and there is good evidence that that social media is a major cause. we can't say it's the only cause, but the fact that the kids themselves say it, the kids point to social media as a cause, the parents point to social media as a cause, the memos from inside the companies, we now have a lot of -- thanks to lawsuits, we now have a lot of memos from inside these company. they know. they're trying to addict kids. they know that they are harming kids. snapchat gets 10,000 reports of

extortion not a year, a month, every month. so kids are being harmed at an industrial scale. finish and we do know that when you go off of social media for a couple of weeks, your rate of depression and anxiety goes down. so, yes, there is good evidence -- carley: yeah. and especially among young girls. there's so much comparison out there looking at images and then looking at yourself and just feeling bad about yourself when they're little and beautiful, and they're just getting these images that completely put their mind in a place where it shouldn't be. i mentioned that australia passed this social media ban, and there are states in the country, and it goes ways when it comes to republican-controlled states and democrat-controlled states, florida to california, that are interested in cracking down on social media in certain ways. do you think that that's the solution? the federal government or state government stepping in and putting bans in place? or should this be something that

happens at home? what do you think about that? >> uh-huh. well, of course, you know, in america we generally think that the parents should be the principal deciders of this, but here's the thing, we're all trying. we're trying, but we can't keep our kids off unless you can keep your kid away from the internet. the way it's set up now, if your kid can get to a web browser, they can sign a contract with any of these companies, open an account you'll never know, people take their data, expose them to harmful things, and they don't need your permission. florida and many other states -- and you're right, it's completely bipartisan because we all have kids. it's completely bipartisan. for the most part, i want parents to be able to decide what they do, but we need help just like we can't be the ones who keep our kids out of liquor stores. we have to have the company checking ages. so, yes, we need it, parents want it, australia's showing it can be done. there's really no reason not to do this. carley: you're right. politics is second when it comes to things like this. parents are parents first.

we all love our children and need to protect them. jonathan, thank you so much. we appreciate you ask and your work. >> my pleasure, carley. carley: hundreds of flights canceled as winter storms rip across the u.s. a travel expert on how you can still make it home percent holidays. that's coming up next.

♪ peter: winter storms with rain and snow threatening holiday travel plans for millions across the nation. griff: of and experts are warning this is only the start of a record-setting travel season. carley: here with some tips and tricks is travel expert and former flight attendant bobby lawyerly. good morning to you, so we're already seeing travel cancellations and travel delays already today. so we're so looking forward to to what you have to say. you say that people should get in touch with customer service but not on the phone. you say go to the social media apps. tell us about that. >> yep, that's right. you know, yesterday alone we saw just about 10,000 flight delays and 600 cancellations, and today we're already look at some as well. and just like you mentioned, everyone's going to be picking up the phone trying to get in touch with the airline when they encounter a situation, but almost all airlines use social media now to connect with customers. so if you are on twitter or on

x, excuse me, if you're on x or facebook, send a message to the airline there, and you'll be able to communicate with them faster. and also use the airline's app. they use those to help you handle rebookings and missed connections. prif griff and, bobby, you know, whenever i'm traveling or carley or peter, a lot of times i'll try to not check a bag because, obviously, when you get delayed or flights get canceled, it's sometimes really tough to keep up with your luggage. you've got some advice for folks who may encounter that. >> yeah. consider using an air tag or one of those find me devices that connect with your phone so this way you know where your baggage is. now, if the airline does lose youring bag, you do file a claim, and if they do use their computer systems to try to track down your bag, but some airlines are now incorporating the air tags and these find me devices into their lost are luggage system. so you can share the location of the bag with the airline and

tell them where it is. and also you should keep in mind if is if they do lose your bag -- i'm sorry, they never lose it, it's always delayed -- if it's delayed longer than 12 the hours, you are entitled to be reimbursed for what you purchase if you do news anything while your bag is missing. carley: go on a spend spending spree. [laughter] peter: on a day like today when people are trying to get out of town, there are long lines at the tsa, you cannot avoid it. but they have a new app. >> that's true. so the tsa does have an app that you can use now that tracks wait times at airports across the country. they always tell you to get to the airport 23-3 hour -- 2-3 hours early, but you can check the app, and this way you can plan accordingly. take that into account with the weather and the local are traffic where you are getting to the airport, and you can make sure you make it to the airport on time and you won't find yourself in a situation where you need to use social media to get a new flight because you've

already misconnected. carrie: -- carley: do you like career or tsa precheck -- clear? >> i use them together. you use clear to get to the front of the line, and they put you to the front of the precheck line. carley: smart man. i'm sure a lot of people out there were paying extra close attention. griff: and merry christmas. >> merry christmas. griff: and thank you to our partner, bass pro shop, for styling our "fox & friends" studio for the entire month of december. there is the caribou. e-mail us at friends@foxnews.com. we're trying to pick a name. more "fox & friends" coming up. ♪ if. ♪ (♪) (♪) (♪)
