peter: it's the 9 a.m. hour of "fox & friends" weekend starting with this, lawmakers passing a funding bill just minutes after of the shutdown deadline. now the bill is heading to president biden's desk. carley: plus, a majority of americans now say they support a social media ban for kids under 16. we reveal the state already taking action to protect your children. griff: and we are counting down to christmas and are putting our gingerbread house decorating skills to the test. [laughter] the final hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now. ♪ ♪ hey, santa, hey, santa -- griff: look at that. peter: it's three stocks. i got one even though this is my first time on the couch in eight years! carley: that's right. you have a stocking, peter. griff, you do as well. mine's in the middle.

it's been the same lineup that we're sitting on the couch. griff: i'm excited. and also they showed the gingerbread house just a moment ago that i had already done. so i don't want to intimidate you or challenge peter's skills, aforementioned, but that was -- carley: our goal so to just be better than that. peter: and the fireplace was really roaring there. i thought it was because of carley's space heater. carley: this is the ainsley and particularly brian complains. i have to ask ainsley how she does it, because i'm either freezing with it off or burning my skin on my if leg -- burning your legs too? griff: if or turning it to -- carley: are you hot too? peter: my feet are always sweaty. we do begin with a fox news alert, the senate has a passed a bill, stopping a government shutdown, after missing the deadline at midnight if by 37 minutes. griff: the measure extends government funding into march

and includes roughly $100 with in disaster aid and relief for farmers. carley: the newly-passed18-page bill does not include many policies that were in the original 1500-page proposal including pay raises for lawmakers and suspending the debt ceiling. griff: trump is reportedly not happy about the bill, especially the fact that the spending deal does not include that suspending the debt ceiling that you mentioned, carley. speaker of the house mike johnson says he spoke with the president-elect. >> 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. carley: president biden has signed -- signaled that he will sign the c.r. bill into law. he hasn't done it just yet, and that's one of the interesting things i was following yesterday when it passed the house about 5:30 p.m. east coast time and, of course it's going to take a

while in the senate. they've got to wrangle with it for a couple of hours, and i said, man, president biden's going to have a late night. you would think he would stay up, watch what's going on on the senate floor, get the pen out and sign it the second it passes. that didn't happen -- peter: no. this is somebody, we still have not ever confirmed that he was briefed overnight during the october 7th terror attack. we know he found out about it in the morning, but things were happening overnight, and it was just quiet and quiet and quiet. and so not really a surprise that -- carley: we've got to wait until the a.m. peter: and there are so few things that the president himself has to actually do. as we learned yesterday in the "wall street journal," there are, like, 50 people as part of some huge government conspiracy to conceal the president's diminished faculties. but, like, the only thing that he still has to do is sign billings. griff: yeah. and we learned from that piece

there's, quote, good days and bad days. so the number of people shielding him may increase on any given bad day as to opposed to a good day. peter: and donald trump, we've got it on the big board here, donald trump apparently does not think that this spending bill was a good day, because it does not extend the debt limit. it sounds like there's an appetite for that to happen when he gets into office. but regardless of what wound up in or out, we have seen something extraordinary, and it is not just your run of the mill funding fight over christmas. we are seeing an incoming president negotiating spending bills and then making the current president sign it which we think -- carley: i know. and he's meeting with foreign leaders, talking to both sides of aisle trying to make things work, already saying what his day one priorities were going to be to. we thought that the original bill that mike johnson had negotiated with both republicans and democrats would pass, but then elon musk and donald trump stepped in and said it's too big, it's basically an omnibus.

you've got to cut it down. which is, ultimately, what happened. congressman mike lawler out of new york was on the show earlier this morning, and and he talked about why it took so long to get this bill through. >> we're nil 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 the president. which is really mind mind-boggling because nobody's heard from him in weeks. and, in fact, during this entire negotiation he was nowhere to be found. we have a situation next year where republicans will be in complete control of washington, ask and we have a lot of work to do especially through reconciliation. we have to get our appropriations work done. but 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: speaking of petty grievances, mike johnson did the

thing that cost kevin mccarthy his job, he avoided a government shutdown. that's great. he needed a ton of democratic votes to do it. when kevin mccarthy did that, he got canned. so we're less than two weeks away from the speaker vote, january 3rd -- carley: what's going to happen? if. peter: i don't know. we haven't heard anybody say who an alternative speaker would be. they could bring kevin mccarthy back. carley: yeah, that's right. you don't have to be the a member of congress. peter: matt gaetz is gone, can't mess it up for him again. griff: will we get a finger put on the scales with president-elect trump who will be instrumental -- he won't have been sworn in yet but, obviously, his influence will count -- carley: yeah. peter: i bet you a mix if el that donald trump will have an opinion about who the republicans' speaker -- [laughter] and it's going to come on social media. carley: yeah. that's true, yeah. so far he has signaled that he still wants mike johnson to have the job. but you do mention social media. there's a new study that

reveals, and this is something that is bipartisan. i mean, it's -- parents across the country are worried about social media. and this particular quinnipiac with study reveals that 6 in 10 americans want a social media ban for children between the ages of 14 and 17 years old. and it's because we have seen the effects of what social media does to young people. the cdc also came out with a report that said 15% of people between 12 and 17 suffer from anxiety, depression at 9% and behavioral disorders at 7.5%, and there are also studies that show those numbers much higher. griff: yeah. and p listen, as someone who has children in their teens and 20s that really live through this experience and you guys have young children, it's hard to overstate just how important addressing this issue is. we had jonathan haidt, a social psychologist, on earlier talking about the dangerrings of social media. easter some of what he said. >> 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 snap khat, instagram or tiktok. heir going to be exposed. the fact that the kids themselves say it, the kids point the social media as a cause, the parents point to social media as a cause, the memos inside the companies. we now have, thanks to lawsuits, we have a lot of memos from inside these companies. they know, they're trying to addict kids. they know that they are harming kids. peter: carley, your son and my daughter were born one day apart. social media is a long way away from them, but looking down the pike it's bleak. i would be fine with limits like what they are talking about. you have to make sure that you can protect free speech for others, but somehow i grew up with a policy ride camera and a

walkie-talkie, didn't need a smartphone. i turned out okay -- [laughter] carrie: -- carley: you turned out more than okay. peter: the people that don't think so are telling me on social media. [laughter] griff: you talk about, well, you're not going to deprave your child of being able to to go and see their friends and they'll be left out. and that's fine. that's manager to consider. but when i -- something to consider. but when i interviewed the head of the dea earlier, she talked about the opioid and the fentanyl crisis, and she said, you know, social media -- by having teenager thes -- teenagers out there, they're existing potential clients for the drug dealers that don't care. they're trying to rope them in. and many of these teens don't even know that they're being attracted. so the dangers are far and wide. you wouldn't send your 14-year-old kid the walk down a dangerous street in a major city by themselves, and they're making the comparison that social media in some ways --

carley: yeah. i know, there are people who sea this and say what australia did, that is government overreach, and i totally respect that. and what states are doing, it should happen in the home and all of that is valid. but i think that other people are also realizing that, as jonathan said, that, you know, this is -- it's addictive. it's almost like a drug. you don't treat alcohol the same way with all ages, you know? there are restrictions on that, so could you treat social media and cell phones and all of that in the same harmful way as other addictive substances? if i think it's certainly up for debate, and it's fascinating. peter: yeah. and we'll see. there's going to be treasure during the trump administration to do something -- pressure if during the trump administration to do something about this because it's the more and more kids -- griff: we're about to find out about the future of tiktok. peter: we are, yeah. griff: january 10th the supreme court will take up that argument.

peter: tiktok doesn't even have a clock at the top, so you can be scrolling and not even realize what time time it is, and that whole time china is looking at your photos and texts. meanwhile, winter storms are dumping rain and snow along the i-95 corridor as aaa says a record 119 million people will travel for christmas this year. big cities like boston, providence and philadelphia are being impacted. griff: this morning nearly 1700 flights have already been delayed. carley: let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth muth with our fox weather fore -- forecast. rick: do you know what else happened this morning? it became consistent budgeter. the days start to -- it became winter with. the days start to get longer. of take a look at this, we had snow here this morning in new york city, and look at our all-american christmas tree here on fox square, that is absolutely beautiful. snow stuck on the north side of the tree, wind blowing in from the north making that stick on that side of the tree.

a beautiful sight here. take a look at the maps. want to talk about white christmas. now, technically, the national weather service has the definition of white christmas, it means you have an inch of snow on the ground on christmas. and currently, 27 percent of the country has at least an inch of snow on the ground. this is with where that is. you can sees the now extended in across parts of the coastal area as along that i-95 corridor. i think we're going to see that melt pretty quickly. overall, we've got a pattern that's going to bring a few more storms across the country this week, but they're going to be warmer. this is a storm we had across the northeast right now, and behind this it is going to get really cold tonight. this is the wind chill forecast for tomorrow morning. single digits toward philadelphia. 1 in boston, that cold air is solidly going to be in place, but we have a big warmup coming tomorrow, monday and tuesday. you see that orange and is yellow on the map, has above average temperatures, warmer air moving in. some of that snow will melt.

just pretend today's christmas and enjoy with it. [laughter] carley: sound advice. griff: every day is christmas here on the couch. carley: all right, the man convicted of murdering two teenage girls in delphi, indiana, will spend 130 years behind bars. richard allen receiving the maximum sentence in court after he was found guilty last month. according to prosecutors, he killed 14-year-old libby german and 13-year-old abby williams in 2017, forcing the two off of a trail at gunpoint before dumping their bodies a quarter mile away from where he encountered them. his attorneys say they plan if to appeal the verdict. president trump picking catholic vote president -- for u.s. ambassador to the holy see saying he has demonstrated exceptional leadership and loves his church and the united states. he joined "fox & friends" weekend right after the election. >> president trump spoke to the concerns of many workers and families a just want a return to

about that. he came to washington early in his keefd did pretty well, and now i peel like he's getting thrown out to the curb -- peter: oh, let me take my $100 million. griff: that's a good parting gift, i suppose. carley: here are the most popular christmas songs according to each state -- peter: each of our home states. carley: right. new jersey is our shared home state. ♪ all i want for christmas is you ♪ griff, what about you? peter: was that the mariah carey? carley: i know!

carley: we are back with a fox news alert. a memorial service being with held this afternoon for five people kill m.d. a suspected terrorist attack at a german christmas market yesterday. a driver rammed into a crowd hurting more than 200 ores -- ohs in what they are calling a deliberate attack. stephanie bennett is joining us now from london. >> reporter: hey, carley. sadly, those numbers are likely to the rise. of the 200 that were injured

last night, around 41 of them are considered serious. this all happening about 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. now, witnesses say a black rented bmw trove can at high speed, plowing through the crowd. as a precaution, other christmas markets in germany shut down last night, and many around the world have upped their security including in new york city. local reports say the market will not reopen this year, and the prime minister there says, quote, we will fly the flags at half-mast to express what a tragedy has taken place here and that we all share in the suffering that has been inflicted. now, the german chancellor are, olaf schultz, visited the site this morning saying today will be a day of grieving and mourning. a 50-year-old saudi arabian doctor who first came to to germany in 2006, he is many

wants to be donald trump's friend? [laughter] >> he certainly wants to be in sync with what trump is thinking because trump, by every measure, has a majority of man kates, and he's going to the rule supreme for at least two years until the midterms. that includes tech, that includes social media which you've been talking about this morning. and all of these leaders, whether they like him or not, are going to success up to him, and that's to -- tuck suck up to him, and that's exactly what they're doing. to be cut out of the circle of friendship is a diminished position if you're a technology leader. and you want to be in that circle of friendship with trump right now, love him or hate him. a lot of these ceos bashed him pretty hard, so they've got a lot of sucking up to do. peter: it feels new. were these ceos not sucking up to joe biden? >> biden really didn't take a position on tech. his administrators did. they beat it up pretty badly, and they were pretty -- not in

support of innovation. they preferred regulation. and that's obvious because it's history. you don't have to debate it anymore. that was khan and the rest of them. with trump it seems more that the idea, and this really stems from something doug burgum said recently, the czar of energy, but it extends to every sector. he would rather innovate than regulate. and that gives the new tonality to the trump administration. i think it's a good thing. i think america's always innovated its way out of trouble. we don't need to regulate ourselves into it. we don't want to diminish our competition. peter: and as we see these ceos, i spend a lot of time in west palm beach these days just watching these motorcades go across the causeway, how would you rate the level of jealousy that these ceos have of elon are musk? >> -- elon musk? >> well, musk brings something to the table that many of them don't have. they're all, they've all been very successful.

but elon musk is an extraordinary individual when it comes to executional skills. so when you hear him say he's going to implement cost savings in government, it's hard to find a place where he hasn't chosen a mandate and been successful at it. is i'm very interested in hearing what his recommendations would be about cutting costs. there's a lot of fat in government. everybody knows that whether you're a democrat or republican. so this is a very interesting role he's taken on, and i think it's going to yield some fruit. and i think some of these recommendations are going to be acknowledged by the president who will give him executional ability to implement them. i don't see anything wrong here. i don't care what side of the fence you're on, red, blue or independent, you know government is dripping with fat, and it's your tax money funding it. peter: we hear all these democrats now talking about how elon musk is a billionaire who's bending the ear of donald trump. he did get trump to go to a spacex launch and support him there, but he still has not

convinced trump to get up early every day and post on x. that could come though at some point. thank you, kevin o'leary.

frankly, the reason that states like idaho are growing rapidly and those othest having a decrease in population and economic activity, is because people want to work hard and create good services that the world needs are coming to states like idaho where they have maximum opportunity to succeed. griff: and, governor, just in the last 30 seconds or so that we have, i kind of wanted to ask you, how did we get here? why the state of -- why is the state of idaho having to deal with something like this? >> well, it's kind of like the are regulatory environment. government left unchecked will continue to add layers of bureaucracy. and that's why we either eliminate it or cut 95% of all our rules. and along with that, decreased taxes. if you just looked at the demographics, if you look at the measurements of success, it's states like idaho that are
