back, i think hundreds of years, actually. that the pontiff has given to the world. >> carley: started in the 13th century. >> i was watching this morning. the first tweet this morning of pope francis was just a simple message. he said this day is the good news that changed the course of history and the hope of mankind and really powerful for him, so we will be following what he has to do today. >> carley: amazing. one of the most special messages the pope can give alongside his easter message. i'm sure is he going to be talking about the reason for the season. bringing light to the world and hope in times that often feel very dark. timothy cardinal dolan archbishop of new york and friend of the show. we love having him on. he delivered a very special christmas message just for you from him. watch this. >> hi, everybody, cardinal

timothy dolan the archbishop of new york. do you know what? we see a lot of darkness in the world today. there's war, there is hunger, there's division. we see it in our country, our city. we see it sometimes within our families. we see it within ourselves. this is the season where we say the darkness ain't having the last word. the darkness is conquered by light because we celebrate the light of the world the birth who revealed himself as the lie of the world. one of the first things almighty god said to us in the bible let there be light. let there be light in your lives this christmas. a blessed one. >> kevin: that is so awesome as fourth degree knight of columbus, i understand the profund tri of what is happening today. even if you are a non-christian, you can appreciate the message of christ which is, you know, love your neighbor, you know, be

a family great message we can all rely on. >> carley: totally. cardinal dolan was on with maria bartiromo recently great interview. will anastoser dam must first since the church build down. a log the dig nay nah assistance around the world. special thing when the bells tolled for the first time you could hear people in their apartments in france cheering. and i can imagine that not all of them were christian. >> griff: resurgence in faith and seen in a'dia klein in recent years and hopefully that will come back. i will confess when cardinal dolan was talking there i was

thinking i need to get his number to text him. duck in. i didn't get in. so many people in line. and the line kept going. man, i hope i get in. and then they closed the door because of the fire code. they have a certain capacity. so i'm going to have to go today. >> kevin: it was that way last night 10:00 p.m. there were cops by the thousands all trying to nypd all trying to get in there. this was all day long. you talk about incredible. >> carley: that's really good news. i wonder if church is like the restaurant where if you know the owner you can get in a special table. >> griff: got to get his number. i'm out back let me in. >> carley: if you are a priest let us know friends@foxnews.com let us know if you have phone number. >> kevin: locked. >> carley: you try.

from. >> griff: it has to count for something. >> carley: it does count for something. a really special "new york post" op-ed written. articles, pieces that you read. you don't even realize how much you needed to hear it until you are finished reading the article. it's called faith is at the core of american freedom and losing it a endangers us all. don fawtedder we are a nation adrift in a sea of doubt. march survey only 30% of americans attend religious services regularly. while 56 are seldom never do so. the nuns rose from 13% in 2010 to 21% today. all of our most intractable problems, including crime, drug abuse, and depression are related to the weakening of faith. a famous painting by a contemporary artist shows washington kneeling in the snow and praying outside the continental army's encampment. such faith has sustained us in every war and national crisis. the fight to maintain religious

heritage is far more important than tariffs or tax cuts. what a message by that very talented thorough right there. >> kevin: so true. think back not just to our founding if you take even just the tiniest bit of time to look at how this country came about. it wasn't just people fleeing england. i mean, this is a deeply ruj jess nation. our traditions and our history have actually been formed through faith. and i still see it in so many places. i think a lot of people kind of feel like americans are drifting away but there are parts of this country where i think faith is deeper and more resonant now than ever before. >> griff: as we get older and you learn if there isn't something more than yourself hard is the struggles we have. the real message of christmas, the audacity of a baby born to

give us light in darkness and through whatever struggles. struggle comes for everybody. and inned midst of all the presents and other stuff you do have to remember that this day really was the gift of this baby born into poverty and nativity scene around animals or shepherds that would go on to bring forgiveness and hope and really that part of history hasn't changed. and ultimately those that come back, doesn't matter when you come back. come back any time. and it changes one's life. >> carley: amen, love that message. >> griff: president-elect trump spending his last christmas before inauguration day at mar-a-lago as more companies pledge money to his inauguration fund. >> carley: meanwhile president biden is spent christmas eve signing new bills into law including one backed by paris hilton. >> kevin: say what? alexandria hoff to answer these "say what?" she joins us this morning. merry christmas, my friend. >> merry christmas to you.

in 2006 i was like a paris hilton expert these days not so much. a inaugural committee had shared with fox business $200 million in pledged donations. to say compare president biden's inauguration committee raised around 62 million in 2021. this year trump is shattering his own record that he set in 2017. "jesse watters primetime" ceo jeff bezos around donors, meta ceo mark zuckerberg as well as long as with the ceos of open ai and uber. according to the "wall street journal," the list of major corporate donors is long. it is diverse. it includes toyota, which followed ford in donating a million dollars to trump's inauguration according to the hill that, is significant given the tariffs that trump has pledged on auto companies that manufacture overseas. and speaking of overseas, not all that far. president-elect trump has made multiple comments about desire to purchase green land which would be the largest land ache

silings in u.s. history. you can see it right there. meanwhile, the danish government which controls it announced plans to increase the artic country's defense capacity. and president biden, well, he spent christmas eve signing 50 bills into law. they were primarily bipartisan. including an act to stop campus hazing and the stop institutional child abuse act. that was pushed for by paris hilton. >> i have done a lot of iconic and amazing things in my life and my career. but this is the thing that means the most to me. this is the most meaningful work of my life. this is my true purpose in life and this is what i want my legacy to be and i couldn't be prouder. >> president biden signed a new law designating the bald eagle like the national bird. for those of house assumed it happened in the 1700s it didn't be technically have the distinction until now.

>> carley: alexandria the biggest shock of my life when i woke up and read it just happened even though it's on the national seal it happened in the year of our lord 2024. >> always that story ben franklin wanting the turkey to be the national bird. they were having that conversation then. [ laughter ] >> carley: they say washington moves slowly and that's a very good example of that. >> great point. >> griff: i did see, didn't paris rekindle the feud with line richie's kid? >> brand new show coming out. >> carley: they are friends now not feud. >> griff: they were feuding back in the day. i stopped peaking attention. >> kevin: how do you know this? >> griff: i remember. >> carley: were they ever not friends. >> one of those orchestrated feuds. tabloid feuds. had a new show coming out. >> carley: did a podcast recently and talking about all of their iconic moments. >> griff: it's christmas. time to come together.

i'm happy for then. >> she did a lot of great work with there this bill. alexandria, merry christmas to you. >> kevin: you are hilarious. they made it up. really? i can't believe it i saw some sort of deadline. >> i don't understand to get ahead of myself. the producers can tell me. as we remember things of the past with president-elect trump coming back to office. there was an iconic moment. >> we will get to it. >> griff: of his first presidency. and if you know it, just think about it because we are going to play it for you. >> that's right. >> let me tell you what it is. >> coming up in moments. >> that's a tease. >> got some headlines to get. to say starting with a fox news alert. a passenger plane with 67 people on board has crashed in the cagney stan. the flight was head from russia. the emergency ministry says there are at least 32 survivors and film investigation results suggest the plane collided with birds before that crash.

7-year-old is resurfacing this morning. >> are you still a believer in santa? because at 7 it's marginal, right? >> hello, you just enjoy yourself. >> carley: according to local reports, the little girl told the president-elect she believed in santa because santa is real and donald trump was just confirming that with her. >> griff: white house had to put out a readout what the child said on the other end yes, yes. of course i do. >> carley: that little girl is always going to have that story. i was the one on the other end of that phone call with santa. >> kevin: it's marginal at 7. >> carley: that is so funny. next guest definitely believes in santa since is he real. >> kevin: is he real. >> griff: joining us now fresh off his -- >> awesome. ho ho everybody. merry christmas, everyone. merry christmas.

that ho ho ho. >> kevin: usc doing this a long time i'm wondering do you have a deal with amazon? they are out there everywhere, it seems like. >> amazon is a big competitor of santa but we use them to our advantage now. you know? ho ho. >> carley: what happens with our family there are santa gifts that you magically give and parent gifts you. >> that's true. >> carley: we left out milk and cookies for you yesterday. we hope you enjoyed them. >> i love every do you understand of cookie. >> do you have a favorite kind? >> what do you like the most? and most of them say chocolate chip which so happens to be my favorite. it is. it is. i eat any kind of cookie. not too picky. >> griff: what's the strangest thing they left out for you? >> well, i think it was the parents that left things out by accident it's always a great cookie for santa. sometimes it was a candy cane

for my reindeer instead of the carrot. the reindeer get so upset having carrots all the time and santa gets cookie. when you leave the candy cane they fly so much faster. there is sugar in them. >> you. >> carley: you did all the hard work and successful night. what are you doing today with mrs. claus. >> go back home to north pole and all the elves and mrs. claus and myself take a big feast wonderful meal and everyone gets to rest give the elves about two weeks off. two weeks. >> kevin: turkey or ham. >> both. both. >> kevin: my man. >> we do both. >> griff: do you take any time off? >> i give everyone off two weeks. we have to get right back to the workshop. 160 countries to serve. 2 billion children. so right away we get right back to work and start building those toys. >> carley: we love you so much, santa. >> i love you, too.

what is your message for us this morning. >> the message is really very, very simple which is one that embraces everyone, which is it is important to have hope. it is important to have resilience. really the lesson of the hanukkah candle, which was incapsulated by a great rabbi the balshinto a little bit of light pushes away a enormous amount of darkness. that's the message of hanukkah. a small group can overcome the odds against them and fight for their religion that just one jar of oil can last for 8 days when it's supposed to last for one. you should never lose hope. >> carley: isn't it interesting, father, that that's the message of christmas, too? >> it is. the book of galatians talks about in the fullness of time god sent his son. fullness of time means when the right time had come. it's interesting in the way in

which the right time, according to god, seems to be prepared for by human action. in other words, when we do our pardon. it gets ready for god's grace to enter into our lives. that's the story of christmas, in the fullness of time god sent his son in the form of a baby according to christian belief. in the form of a baby, someone that we can accept and love, no matter our weakness and no matter our difficulties. who cannot hug and kiss a baby? in fact i have some cookies that my 3-year-old made for you. >> carley: thank you so much. really? >> he washes his hands every once in a while. i will leave them here. children are so -- we find god in them. >> carley: most innocent form of humanity, place on earth to save us all. >> that's right. >> rabbi, you brought a very special menorah onto the set with you this morning. and i would love for you to share the story of it. >> so, this actually belongs to my colleague rachel crouse. and it was given to her by her

late grandfather, walter crew. now, walter grew up in frankfurt, germany, and as a teen in 1938 was actually interred in the nazi labor camp. he managed to escape, comes back to his mother. his mother says you better get out of here. they are going to be searching for you. he goes to poland, goes all the way across the soviet union. comes to shanghai. someone there says why don't you join the flying tigers? and he ultimately begins flying for the american air force. 1945, he goes back to frankford. and actually the family heirlooms had been hidden by a neighbor, a woman named olivia lydiawho wasn't jewish. lydia watched over them as many people had pointed out this was a great, great danger to herself. it shows you how people can come together despite being parts of

different faiths, and so he comes, his mother, unfortunately is gone. his mother had been murdered by the nazis. but he comes, he takes this men nor remarks moves to the united states. and four generations of family have been lighting this menorah. >> carley: i just love this story so much a woman of non-jewish faith risked her life to hide that menorah from nazi german officials and it also speaks to you being on the same stage together. you know, people of all different faiths coming together because it's just the right thing to do. and in that story, i'm also reminded, jonathan, of saint maximilianian. one of the saints featured on fox nation. he was polish priest gave up his life in place of a jewish man. he died at auschwitz because the man had children so he said take me instead of him. >> in the end we might call

ourselves one in the end children of god. that's the way he sees us, i believe, and christmas and hanukkah being celebrated together. what a great reminder to us. >> carley: i feel very hopeful right now. it's a great feeling. >> not only that powerful connection between christians and jews. which we neglected for so long. we really neglected for far too long. there is a recognition we share our -- as christian scripture and when we talk about the story of christmas, i mean, you are using jesus and joseph and mary and i'm in my mind thinking the hebrew names because there is this incredible connection jesus

was a jew. jesus was born in the homeland. that's the enormous connection of history that we have with each other that we are finally rediscovering right now in america. >> carley: a wonderful connection. a bond that can never be broken. jonathan, merry christmas. >> merry christmas to you. >> carley: rabbi, happy hanukkah. thank you for bringing that menorah and special story. thank you for the cook ideals. >> my son up waiting for toe to get back to open the gifts. >> carley: be with them. god bless you both. president-elect trump celebrating his growing support for young voters this christmas. why more young americans are embracing traditional family values heading into the new year. and we are leaving with you live pictures from the vatican as the pope celebrates christmas mass. ♪ joy to the world ♪ the lord is come ♪ let earth receive her king ♪ let every heart ♪ prepare him room

>> griff: it was so cool new york city having first white christmas eve in over two decades. central park covered in snow you see here. here's what it looked like outside on fox square yesterday. but, looks like the big apple won't have a white christmas this morning. but it's a white christmas just north of us in albany, new york, and we want to see your photos of your white christmas. you can email them at friends@foxnews.com. we will put them on the air. let's check in now though with meteorologist adam klotz with where else we may be seeing a white christmas. good morning, adam. merry christmas. >> good morning, griff. merry christmas to you. we have got floridians behind me who were here yesterday. you are not used to seeing snow, are you. what did you think of that. >> it was beautiful. >> adam: it was beautiful? >> yes. >>

>> adam: what about this cold weather are you used to this. >> like 57 at home now. >> adam: quite a bit warmer across the south. plenty of places where folks are experiencing white christmas. dive into it. an inch of snow in new york city. that's the snowiest it's been on christmas eve for 20 years. that doesn't typically happen. usually have to go a little further north. the northern tier across the great lakes. seeing snow this morning. of course the rockies always see snow earlier in the year. they are continuing to enjoy that. here is your christmas day forecast. a little bit more snow in the rockies. no more snow up and down the east coast. just rain there in the mississippi delta. as i get ready to throw it back in real quick. i have have got some guys out here from pifing. and you wanted to say merry christmas to somebody, right? give a merry christmas to? >> merry christmas pezza. >> adam: what are you wanting for christmas? >> a steelers win. >> adam: a shot at the chiefs. kevin, i'm tossing it back inside with you.

>> kevin: good luck broncos i'm wishing for that for a christmas win. president trump taking victory lap games young voters 18 to 29-year-olds. going up 11% since 2020. >> so we g get the highest vote ever for a republican candidate. we won by 36 points with younger people. that never happens. and for all of us standing before you today, i can proudly proclaim that the golden age of america is upon us. >> kevin: so the question remains, what is causing the shift? independent women's features editor and chief kayleigh mckee white. i call you kmw all the time anyway. we work together a lot. why do you think this is happening because we have talked especially going back to election day about this idea that young people are really fed up. they are feeling more anxious about where the direction of the country has been. i think that was behind a lot of

this. what say you? >> i think it surprised a lot of democrats that young voters turned out for trump in the numbers it did. it is surging. another poll found that as many as 59% of young adults between the ages of 18 through 29 approve of the trump transition team and what he is trying to do. i think what happened is that democrats -- they underestimated assumed young adults my age inundated with leftism we would never question it. it turns out that young adults also enjoy a bit of common sense, especially on cultural issues. i think of one young voter who spoke to the "new york times" after voting for trump said she was particularly radicalized about the issue of men playing in women's sports. this is actually a big problem for young women my age. and, again, they didn't think that we would ever question leftism. but the fact is they started a culture war that now they can't

finish. >> let me ask you though about this idea of young people not just being frankly being tired of woke if i'm blunt about it. the idea that men creation spaces in women's traditional spaces traditional family growth in this country. a yearning if you will for faith and frankly i think the economy is always going to be the number one driver. if you have grown up in an error where your parents had a house and they were able to have careers and start families and now you are feeling like you don't get that i think that might have also turned the tide. >> part of this as you mentioned young adults are searching for meaning and fulfillment. they are actually turning to things like religion and other traditional institutions that many thought they had left behind. that's very encouraging to sees a a pastor's daughter and as someone whose faith is important to her young adults haven't

found in leftism what they have found in region. it is a kind of religion. obedience to believes. the problem is the beliefs happen to be at odds with human nature and what most people need. and so when that happens adherence are left with one of two choices, become either more radiculopathy calleddized. united healthcare ceo. >> just insane. >> the other option is they abandon leftism all together which is what we are starting to see and i hope election results give us a little bit of insight into which direction they ultimately choose. >> great to see you my friend. the one p.k. i know that is actually a really good p.k. proud of you. >> yes. >> kevin: thank you for joining us. quick time-out as we continue this "fox & friends" this christmas morning. gospel music.
