♪ [the star-spangled banner] will: welcome to "fox and friends". happy holidays, merry christmas, so great to see you again, so great to see you guys. rachel: great to see you. will: it has been a week or two and feels like an eternity. but we are back on the couch. do you have a good christmas? rachel: i did, had a great christmas. just enjoying my daughter in town with my son-in-law and she has a segment at the end of the hour. the gang is coming into the studio.

rachel: i can only imagine what it is like to do the christmas shopping in your household. santa is tired. santa gets tired in my house. every time we get to gather i get the director but it is fun. will: new overnight the wedding ticket for the one. $22 billion mega millions jackpot sold in california. charlie: channel a painter is here with how much the incredibly lucky winner is going to walk away with. rachel: the lucky winners set to take on the fifth-largest prize in mega millions history after matching all 6 members

and defeating the one in 300 million plus odds. >> reporter: it is estimated at one. $22 billion. those numbers are 55, 7, 3, 37, 49, the mega ball is six. rachel: no one won the grand prize in the previous drives, last time a mega millions player hit the jackpot was september 10th but now last night's winner has two choices, receive the one. $22 billion biannual payments for 29 years or take up one time cash payout of $549.7 million. here's another look at the winning numbers, the lucky ticket was purchased at this gas station in cottonwood, california which is 146 miles north of sacramento. the 30 seventh time a mega millions jackpot was won in the

golden state behind new york with the state with the most wins. five additional ticket holders walked away with $1 million each after they all matched all five white balls for the match 5 win. friday's winner could be one of the last before the lottery game undergoes an overhaul next spring including the price of the mega millions ticket increasing from $2 to $5 starting april. as of now the identity of the mega millions winner is not yet known. it was not media, sadly. it wasn't magill campos who plays regularly and was hoping it was going to be him. what do you think you would do? would you take the cash payment or do you want to be paid upfront or over the next 29 years? will: take the lump sum trusting you can earn more on it than it pays out in 29 years if you are wise, save and invest that money. rachel: that's not what

happens. will: the studies on the sort of what happens in the years after someone wins the lotto. charlie: if you are not careful it can turn into a curse. a lot of people do good things with it but my goodness. rachel: everyone thinks they are your friend or everyone wants a loan or a grant. they've done studies on that. charlie: obviously you have to play to win, which would completely eliminate me from the process but there's a lot you could do with us that much money, you could do some real good in the world. will: that is what i was thinking too. i would spend my 500 million, you want to do some good

because you can afford it. i'm going to get a ranch to be honest. rachel: i thought you would get a house in hawaii and i was going to go. will: i want my own spread. of that kind of money that is uncountable than i want a big chunk of texas. what would you do if you won the jackpot? how would you spend or save or invest that money? email us, friends@foxnews.com. donald trump put out an interesting post on truth social, he asked the following last night, where are you? when are you coming back to the center of the universe? bill gates asked to come tonight can we miss you, seem to be a reference to elon musk. knew yours -- new year's eve will be amazing.

rachel: that is a very public invitation to a new year's eve party. i thought elon musk never left mar-a-lago. charlie: he was busy getting skinny turning into skinny santa. >> a symbol of what you wants to do with the american government, the invitation would mean a somewhat permanent presence at mar-a-lago but would add to the list of tech ceos who have met with trump last couple months. jeff pazo's, meadow ceo mark zuckerberg, open ai ceo sam altman, uber's ceo, apple's ceo tim cook. that was 80%. will: this is a big turnaround,

big tech wasn't behind trump in the last election, they saw the light and big tech has donated a lot of money to his campaign especially the presence of elon musk being most prominent. also the ones who weren't on board before are in on the inaugural fund so you see amazon, meta-open ai, big-money. >> welcome to the center of the universe, you know that's an inside joke between him and elon musk and makes you wonder if there isn't some sort of little to if in the romance. >> the media had been fanning the flame of that to if, remember, elon musk got involved in the debate over the cr and at the end of the year and the media was like the real

president is elon musk, hoping to get the ir of donald trump. i don't know if that actually worked too. they . they are definitely both alpha males but the president is the president and i'm sure donald trump let's elon musk know that. but it seems maybe there was something happening and elon didn't, isn't coming to the new year's eve party. >> donald trump is a great poster but also he draws a lot of people on the outside who also want to stir the pot with him. >> or to fund the right has to do with the debate over, first, the surface at least, skilled legal immigration, but at a deeper level about american culture, vivek ramaswamy, elon's partner in doge set this off on twitter when he put out the following statement, the

recent top tech companies often hire foreign-born and first-generation engineers over native americans isn't because of innate american iq deficit, that being a lazy and wrong expiration, the key part of it comes down to the c word, culture. our american culture has generated mediocrity over excellence for way too long. at least since the 90s and likely longer. a culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympia champ or the jock over the valedictorian will not produce the best engineers was a culture that generates cory from boy meets world or zack and slater over screech in saved by the bill or stephan over steve urkel in family matters will not produce the best engineers, this is been a fascinating debate raging now on the right and on x. i was excited to sit down with youtube this morning to see where you are, we were together last night as i filled in on prime time and we started to touch on it a little bit together. i don't think what he says is without some merit.

perhaps when it comes to the .0 one% of elite engineers, you need to be gratified from across the world but i take exception, i know vivek believes in american exceptionalism but i take exception to the indictment of american culture print large. i think it is a unique, persistence, at times rotted, there's a bit of entitlement, certainly tacked on the left but i am oho d photo a believer in the exceptionalism of american culture. i think our constitution is special, our declaration of independence is historic but those are what set us apart, those protect our culture which is made as the preeminent civilization in the history of the planet. charlie: i agree with what you said. i do think, my bigger exception to what he said was the idea that it's a culture that, what this is, the whole debate and

it is happening entirely on the republican side of things which is very interesting and completely healthy. something very good can come of this because donald trump is not going to be swayed by vivek and elon because they like the visa process and there are problems with that real corruption and i have more faith in donald trump's ability to do something about it than any president we've had including ronald reagan. or the tech brokes but i do think, i take exception talking about what culture. what this is is a damning indictment of government schools is what this is. an admission that our schools, our public schools don't maximize the potential of a lot of these kids because you are right, if you want to get something done, you can throw out the history of our country, if you want to get something done, accomplished.

americans almost always the ones who step into the fold and get it done. without that, to be it all falls to public education. >> this debate is fascinating to me. a thousand different levels from pop culture to how we raise our families and government school, i agree with you. the problem is our school system, it indictment on it and the answer isn't to import new kids, the answer is to have better schools and this is the opportunity to do that, to improve that. i also think that it is fascinating, looking at how it has gotten into pop culture, vivek drew this in. a lot of people love saved by the bell and in our culture it is true. zach and slater, greater than screech, brainpower is great, emotional intelligence. risk tolerance, all these

things are what make greatness and i think there's a feeling that just brainpower is all but there is an there's more to that, you become not just because you are the prettiest but probably because you are also nice and people like you and there's other components. i'm not saying the valedictorian isn't valuable. i'm just saying that it has been interesting and steve bannon had the best tweet at all, saying we will not, he talked about the tech brokes and said we will not be ruled by the guys who are mad they got stuffed in a locker. will: bannon said america is not an algorithm and that's a good statement but i want to be fair to vivek. will: this is really important. this is the crux of it. it is not, we are not also about just gdp. what is good for the american people, what's good for the american people is that we actually love our people and

care about them and we want them to have the best jobs. it used to be its the jobs, americans don't want to pick strawberries, now americans want to stem jobs, but is that? will: to be fair, he is opposed to the h one b visa system and how it currently operates and while you both indict education. i have to save effect, this, his indictment was bigger than education. he said culture at a very young age, family level. and he's targeting specifically engineers and there's a big recipe that creates a great country but this debate could go on, we could have it for the next 4 hours and maybe we should. >> we should talk about this over the next couple hours. but there is more because check out these photos, this is in the new york post, this comes from america first legal, this is president biden posing with some hunter biden's, this is an

introduction to xi xinping and then there was a photo with what appears to be some of hunter's business associates as well that includes president biden. of course biden has said many times, didn't meet hunter's buddies, remember? >> president biden: i did not know he was on the board of that company. i never discussed my business or their business. my son's or daughters. never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with ukraine. i've never spoken to my son about his overseas activities, never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else period. charlie: the great hall -- marvelous. it is interesting. all of these pictures were in the national archives and they are the same people that donald

trump got into that to for with that resulted in mar-a-lago being raided by the fbi. this is evidence we are talking about of an actual government cover-up by the government trying to protect these pictures from getting out. stephen miller, incoming white house deputy chief of staff says it is unacceptable, he spoke last night on hannity. >> how often in life do you get photographic documentary evidence that proves that the president lied, that proves a government conspiracy, proves a media conspiracy. we have the actual photographs proving that joe biden met with hunter's business partners, met with high-ranking officials in china with hunter biden for no legitimate government purpose whatsoever.

and there was a massive effort to keep these photos from the american people before the election. how much evidence has stacked up of the ways the permanent bureaucracy in washington has tried to keep donald trump from returning to the oval office and yet he won, he won her landslide and he will return because the american people are sick of a government that has forgotten them and i will go further, a government that has betrayed them. rachel: he lied, president biden lied in the debate where he said i don't know anything about what my son is doing. then we got the laptop and they told us that was russian disinformation. just this week we've seen more coming up about the lab leaks and everybody who said this seems like it came out of the wuhan lab it is probably a bio weapon was told they were crazy

and they were conspiracy theorists. our government is corrupt and we are on the verge of finding out if trump administration is actually capable of rooting out these really dark corrupt figures and rooting out these agencies, maybe even eliminating some of them because all of them are not to be trusted but i can't tell you, we could do a whole wall walk with you of everything they said was conspiratorial the came to be true and stephen miller is right, we have photographic evidence. president biden should have to get out of st. croix wherever he is vacationing and respond to to this. >> stick around a little later and we will talk about of wuhan, china and the role of the intelligence agencies. rachel: canadian diplomats flocking to florida as trump threatens massive tariffs.

florida to discuss the risk of imposing new trade tariffs in the northern border, offering canada tax cuts if they agreed to become our 51st state. senior advisor christian whiten joins us now. it is fun and i think there's a lot of deep conversations to be had about american expansion. the question is how seriously do we take this idea of canada becoming the 50 first state of america and i think the answer is pretty seriously if they are running to mar-a-lago. >> they are running to mar-a-lago in panic mode, the left-wing prime minister justin trudeau who is probably on his way out of. 's office along with his party this year already went to mar-a-lago. what he said wasn't sufficient for trump because trump has been having fun, it's not a bad

idea if you take the central provinces, alberta, saskatchewan, and british columbia, excluding vancouver which is very left wing, those states make a lot of sense, would be a national part of the united states and link with alaska. if you take all of canada you get a lot of leftys, socialist, french speakers and make america harder to govern and more liberal. i don't think it's a terrible idea and a lot of those central provinces might like to be governed by washington or have more self-governance rather than kinko's in ottawa who are unpopular. will: that the point that needs to be highlighted that ties into the culture debate that has been raging, just absorb a new country unless they can be absorbed into your culture, that's the bottom line. parts of canada can. john sebastian cabot said minister leblanc had a positive

meeting at mar-a-lago with howard lutnick as a follow-up to the dinner between the prime minister and donald trump last month. i want to transition if we are going to talk about american expansion, i love the instinct by trump, greenland, canada, panama. if it makes sense for the united states. talk to me about var panama canal. what is it about china and the role they are playing that has trump's attention? >> two things, china, chinese companies like hutchison which is hong kong-based, hong kong is just another chinese city that beijing exit wished press freedom. you have these chinese companies that operate the ports of the canal that we built at great expense and great cost of life, lots of people died of malaria.

that is the concern, owning a superporch in peru, extending its tentacles into our southern hemisphere and all so basically panama is charging tariffs, exorbitant fees for ships to transit the panama can now. sometimes these fees can go as high as $400,000 during ordinary times and the next ordinary times $4 million, they have to be corrected. will: what does greenland offer, what would we get out of greenland? >> they would get something and we would get something is climate changes, it is easier to exploit natural resources in canada if you have us capital and resources they are,

greenlanders, the high cost of living, we can help them rich, if they had an alaska style trust fund where they get revenue instead of the government from natural resource extraction they could all be millionaires so they would be better off and we would be better off. will: too many people are dismissing as crazy talk on, crazy talk used to be what drove the world forward. i appreciate the instinct from donald trump this morning, thanks a lot. new york city refusing to honor ice requests even for the illegal immigrant accused of burning a woman to death on a subway. now taxes is getting the turbotax app and filing your taxes yourself 100% free if you didn't file with us last year. pay zero dollars when you file by 2/18. all tax forms

rachel: new york city will not honor the ice detainer request for the illegal immigrant accused of burning a woman

alive on a subway train due to current sanctuary city policies. he was charged with three counts of murder in the first and second the grand arson with arraignment set for january 7th. joining me with reaction is for acting ths secretary, good morning, new york city says we will hold onto this guy, one of the most heinous crimes i have ever seen, not just the death but the reaction or lack of reaction of the people around. tell me what you think will happen now that the feds don't get them in the state will. what are the consequences, what is your prediction? >> reporter: hopefully this individual stays in jail and be sentenced if found guilty and go to prison for quite some period of time but the larger issue is you heard mayor adams

talk about new york city needing to change the policy on ice detainers but the actions of new york city are not backing up those words are from the mayor. when they deny and ice detainer they are denying advance notification to ice as well as the ability to pick this individual up should the state of new york allow him 3 during his court proceedings. a lot of issues here and it goes back to sanctuary jurisdictions where you are freeing criminal illegal aliens and letting them back into your community to reoffend. rachel: this man came in 2018 to cross the border, trump administration kicked him out and he made his way over, we don't know when, possibly during the biden administration when our borders were open. i guess americans are looking at this and mayor adams as you brought up is justifying this

saying good new york city penalties will be greater than the fed's. what do you make of that excuse? >> we will see at the end of the day. i still think that federal, state, local law enforcement should be cooperating with ice, should be cooperating with federal immigration authorities to lodge these detainers so they can pick them up if that's applicable. to simply deny the retainer out right before the court proceedings are underway or have concluded is the wrong approach and it backs up what we know from new york city being a sanctuary city and other cities. this isn't unusual unfortunately but what it does say is some of the rhetoric and language we've seen from mayor adams doesn't appear to be translating into action. rachel: they still haven't identified her. it is believed she was homeless, just sleeping on the train when she was lit on fire.

what will it take for people in new york city to wake up and say we want a different way in terms of how we charge crimes in the messages we send to criminals about the tolerance for crime in the city? >> the majority of individuals in new york state, maybe not new york city want a change and the american people want a change, they said that on november 5th and you will have a new trump administration with farm home and at others getting to work even before they come in, make sure they address what is going on on the border but also the removing individuals, dangerous commonly aliens from communities like new york city but also elsewhere in the country as quickly and as fast as they can because that is how you protect americans and more of these blue city mayors and governors are starting to see shielding these criminal aliens does nothing to protect their communities and makes them more unsafe.

>> focht >> janice: look, severe weather expected to continue sweeping the south with millions facing the threat of tornadoes, hail

and strong winds, this day after several twisters tore through parts of texas, including one that left folks at a barbecue restaurant scrambling. watch this. >> oh my god. >> that's crazy. >> is coming back. >> don't say that. >> no reports of injuries there. let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for our fox weather forecast. >> this is part of a large system bringing some rain and winter conditions across portions of the northeast, mid-atlantic, stretching all the way across the southeast and ultimately bringing more severe weather. over the last couple days we've seen a couple of spin up tornadoes, these are the tina reports the last 24 hours. expect more of those as we get going in the afternoon. this is up to 4 on a scale of 5 for the risk of severe weather, a bull's-eye across portions of louisiana into mississippi, tornadoes likely with this, certainly big severe

thunderstorms, straight-line winds, 60, 70 miles an hour, a lot of lightning, hail, all of those conditions possible, the tornado threat is relatively high across the same region, major cities like jackson would get in on this as we see some decent size tornadoes. by the time we get into tomorrow it does lessen quite a bit but we shift to the area we are paying attention to more across the southeast. we will be all over that all day on fox weather as well. those are your weather headlines, back to you guys. will: donald trump saying the fate of tiktok should be in his hands urging supreme court to delay their decision on a possible us ban. >> the trump team saying he needs, quote, the opportunity to resolve the issue in a way that saves tiktok and preserves american national security once he resumes office as president of the united states on january 20, 2025.

rachel: here is allison win, welcome. so this is such an interesting situation, i frankly believe that tiktok, i don't trust the government in this situation. what is your take on it? >> reporter: my teenagers are big fan of tiktok and i believe donald trump and the base love tiktok. the thing is we need to give donald trump a negotiation power to assert his leadership, a great leader and biden has been asleep at the wheel on this matter, allowed china to bully us in the international waters and our partners in the indo pacific and greenland and now the panama canal they are charging us up to $500,000 per ship going through the canal when americans built that and they banned us companies like facebook, google and youtube in

china, we need to have the negotiation power when donald trump is in office to negotiate for better terms for america on the world stage. will: the ones that were trying to censor us and tell us tiktok is bad and i am supposed to trust them, i don't. will: don't know how you thread this needle, how you control the chinese communist party. at the same time preserving one of the platforms that has become so important to a big chunk of america. and to this with you, you are a silicon valley person, this debate between vivek ramaswamy and elon musk and others on the right talking in part, h1b visas and legal immigration. vivek said there are not enough domestic high level engineers to satisfy the demands of

silicon valley, 0. one%. others have said american engineers are being boxed out of these jobs. >> that's a great point. i went to school with many of these tech pioneers, founders of google, paypal, executives at facebook. when they started these companies it was american workers. we were the ones that built the transcontinental railroad, far panama canal. we invented modern oil and gas drilling, personal computer, the age of the internet on the verge of the golden age of ai. we need to keep the jobs for americans american first. i love how donald trump is bringing in $100 billion of investment, hopefully 200

billion so instead of the scarcity model, there's not enough money because of our new leadership, how about we create more american jobs, bring in more manufacturing jobs. and 100,000 manufacturing jobs because of the scarcity model in the golden age of ai. people are excited with donald trump because he's outside the box, i personally disagree with the that, i love friday night lights. i'm calling you from south-central texas, my high school had a rivalry, i think these american culture, this is part of who we are, not just math and science scores and we can't change that recipe.

we may not be the highest scoring in math and science that we have innovation and risktaking everyone wants to emulate. will: saint angelo? it is a big district. >> reporter: it is. we have taken turn this every other year. rachel: in the playoffs. thanks for being with us this morning. rachel: great job, fascinating conversation. everything that is wonderful and all-american. the government can't control tiktok and that is why people censoring us can't control tiktok and that is why they want to get rid of tiktok. i trust the guy who has been

censored by these guys to find a solution to this and that is the right answer. major flight safety concerns after a second stowaway is caught midair. the executive director of the air marshal national council is demanding action and that is next. trouble with your weight? same. discover the power of wegovy®. with wegovy®, i lost 35 pounds. and some lost over 46 pounds. and i'm keeping the weight off. i'm reducing my risk. wegovy® is the only weight-management medicine proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack, or stroke in adults with known heart disease and obesity. don't use wegovy® with semaglutide or glp-1 medicines, or in children under 12. don't take if you or your family had mtc, men 2, or if allergic to it. tell your provider if you plan to have surgery or a procedure, are breastfeeding, pregnant, or plan to be. stop taking and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or any of these allergic reactions.

rachel: michelle obama getting heat after posting a new year's message that appears to be a veiled reference to donald trump taking office. >> happy holidays, everyone. i know it has been a difficult few months for so many of us and folks are feeling a little bit anxious and uncertain. but even during these tough times, there are plenty of reasons to stay hopeful. rachel: i love this. a lot of trump supporters criticizing the former first lady for that apparent swipe. she hasn't met the other 50% of the country that's real happy. the times square ball fully installed and ready for new year's eve, organizers working to place the last crystal triangle.

>> every time we turn around we are spending billions of dollars on upgraded security systems. each year we hear we need more and more for electronics, more enhanced technology and think about this. go to the ticket counter, show your id and boarding pass, two things you need to get through security. of one of those things is missing you get through. i don't know what tsa is going to do to increase protocols or security protocols. when someone doesn't have a boarding pass it is simple, they shouldn't get through security. charlie: they have all the whistles and gadgets they need but we are still taking off our shoes because of something that happened 15 years ago. it does seem somebody isn't
