beets blood pressure support soft chews. today.

will: it's the 7:00 a.m. hour of "fox & friends" weekend. how it can impact trump's ability to get to work. >> one of the busiest travel days of the year. we're tracking latest delays and cancellations and plus the newest annoying trend driving travelers crazy. rachel: and from trump viral moments on the campaign trail to bennifer calling it quits. the second hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now. rachel: good morning, everybody. you know it's christmas for a few more days. christmas just started. it's not over.

carcharlie: playing the rolling stones. will: that's a good message for christmas. you can't always get what you want. it's 7:00 on the east coast and there it is. how you doing. there are people right now. it's impossible to get into the building. impossible. if you want to get to fox news, good luck. traffic on the streets and are here in new york. charlie: rockefeller center is two blocks that way. rachel: will, you got a new puppy for christmas. tell us about the puppy problem. will: it's -- first of all, i knew this was going to be the topic. rachel: he regrets telling me about this. charlie: what do you like to do? rachel: he's a one track mind dog. put it that way. will: one dog family prior.

one dog family. two dog families are chaos. we know it but we decided to be a two dog family. we like doberman. we had a female and we got a male. he's beautiful, great, smart but one thing on his mind. and that's my female doberman. rachel: she's not getting rest from him. will: i feel so bad for her. he's a predator. rachel: i asked if the dog's name was bill clinton. he said no. what's his name? will: his name is saint. but he's great and i love him already. i didn't post a picture on my instagram and honestly, it was up in the air for him the first couple of days. is he going to stay with us. rachel: you love your female

doberman so much. will: yes, violet and she has to be the priority. he'll be a great dog. rachel: is there a cure for that? will: he's got an appointment. charlie: know what's even more fun? a litter of puppies. will: yeah, that's fun. charlie: you have that to look forward to. will: no, she's spayed. will: another republican congressman is withtolding support for mike johnson. rachel: there's fears in delays of selecting a speaker could put trump's ketanjiification at risk. reporter: good morning. the speaker vote is less than a week away and the prospects of keeping his job have not improved and another republican congressman says he's not backing johnson right now.

whoever the president backs is likely to be the speaker regardless. current speaker going to lose one and all democrats voting against him and beginning with 200 house republicans and 215 house democrats and johnson needs backing of 218 members to hold on to the gavel. >> we shouldn't see our speakers

shaking hands without coming to the conference and getting a buy in. reporter: took five days for kevin mccarthy to win the speakership in january 2023. this time only three days between the speaker's election and certification of electoral college results so time will be ticking. will: this promises to be -- i don't know if it's a mess or a fight. charlie, you're pretty plugged in i think to washington dc. what do you think of this with mike johnson? charlie: one thing for certain is that i understand why people are dissatisfied with why he's handling the funding fight and going for these and there's a one seat majority or a 20 seat majority, if you're not willing to stake out a big position and defend it and past two speakers had trouble with this and think this is bad, imagine where republicans would be right now if donald trump had not won the

election and they were dealing with their handful of majority seats. rachel: think mike johnson survives this? >> my hunch is largely because of the same reason he wound up speaker in the first place, they don't want to go. nobody wants to do that job. that's a horrible, horrible job. and so i always sort of, you know, charlie: it shouldn't be a

terrible job and say this is what we're doing and lose your seat and ma verity and it should be fun. rachel: democrats were willing to do that with obama care and lose their seats and go big. the other point is there wasn't like an heir apparent and if it's not speaker johnson, it would be this guy. nobody is like that. will: new york city not honoring ice detainer for illegal immigrant accused of burn ago woman alive on the subway. the victim shockingly has yet to be identified. charlie and i talking about this off camera. it's horrific. they've moved from can't be fingerprinted to dna technology to determine who she is has also failed to this point.

any building a facial reconstruction profile. rachel: think they she was homeless because no one has come forward and they think she was sleeping on the subway and this animal lit her on fire. what's as shocking as the murder itself is sort of the reaction of the people around who just seemed to be not as seemed indifferent. charlie: it is shocking that you see and the idea of voters that keep electing government

officials that allow this kind of environment to go on on the subways and streets and new york city is like an open air insane asylum and walk up and down the street and step over people doing drugs and have needles hanging out of their arms, it's disgusting and the idea that we keep rachel: the area smells like urine and pot. there's an elitism and going to promote these cars and drive to their office or home. it's the working class dealing with the subways and meanwhile

going for them to have this entire cities and states and going for them to just allow illegal immigrants to come into the country and going to the heart of where you have this prosecutor refusing chad woman and have abilitying director of america first and policy institute blasts the city for refusing to honor the ice detainer, listen to this. the actions are not backing the

words of the major. >> denying an ice detainer and denying advance notification to ice and ability to come and pick the individual up. there's a lot of different issues here and back to the sanctuary jurisdictions like new york city and chicago and elsewhere where you are freeing criminal illegal aliens and possibly letting them back into your community and the american people want to change. they said that on november 5 and you'll have a new trump administration with tom homan and others getting to work really even before they come in to make sure they address what's going on on the border. will: i want to con tect lyse

it. walk around -- con tex yulize it and -- con contextualize it and going for them and saying it's an apartment complex. that's what i'm getting at. those exceptions can define an existence and my point, if you visit new york, you'll not see the odds of something horrible down the street. you're not going to see somebody with a ndle hanging out of their arm. but when you do, it can define your existence when a crime happens to you and it's more probable in the current state of existence of new york and defines your existence and you're saying it does smell like pot all the time. all the time. rachel: and urine. and urine. will: and pea. but my point is while it's n

not -- rachel: i want to know where you're going because it smells like pot and uriner everywhere i go. will: i'm just saying that people are defined by things big and traumatic and might mott happen every moment and when they dorks they change your life. rachel: i love you brought up the martha case. there was an interchange between jd vance and martha from abc and talking about the trans national gangs taking over the apartment buildings and she said it was just a few apartment buildings f. that happened to her penthouse in upper -- she would not be saying that and would be up in arms and would be able to hire private security making sure it never happens to her. going back to elitism we're talking about. it's okay if it happens in the

subway. it's okay if it happens -- will: that's all true. charlie: law and order, you have to enforce the law all the time. equal justice under the law. bad examples are not only unfortunate for those of us walking around a guy with pants down around his ankles outside of the time square. what's the value of that person's life. he should be gainfully employed. rachel: it's more than that for everybody and the problem is that martha radits can get around the problem because she's loaded and can hire security and get in a black car and doesn't have to face any of this. it's the working class that have to depend on mayor adams and the da and everybody else to keep them safe because they don't have any alternative it is. that's the problem.

will: the homeowner's decision to open fire is justified. >> i praise this husband for doing what he needed to protect this home and this family. going to be that brazen to come into my home, you should expect you're going to be shot. will: second suspect that faced armed burglar charges is a chips chilen nags gnat here in the u.s. on an expired visa. more border value materials and president elect trump takes office. kim paxton requesting the hearing after unused parts were auctioned off for pennys on the dollar. the floor security till their

varicose veins last day in power. navy battling oklahoma in the armed forces bowl and sooners jumping to early lead and blake who sat takes over. it's a new trend and those that travel, people not using headlines. rachel: headphones. will: i read headlines and talking about headphones. flying was the worst and america stopped using headphones and she said i don't want to listen to your phone call or both sides, i

don't want to watch you tiktok. it's gob smacking to me. we have to use headphones. it's true. all the time. charlie: i don't understand this. i'm like, hey, headphones. i are you the annoying guy on the plane telling people what to do f? charlie: i'm never that opinion. you take your shoes off and that's one of the most disgusting things on a plane. it makes me want to do the emergency door and jump out. rachel: i take my shoes off on the plane.

phone call on high alert. i can't help it. will: i haven't called anybody out i just sigh. charlie: passive aggressive sighing. rachel: ever since the ladies in whole foods telling people to put masks on, i'm like everybody do their own thing. will: e-mail us at "fox &

trump says things that sound outlandish and all these people deny that it's true. then you if your honor around a couple month later and realize there's truth to it. >> absolutely and the what president trump is showing is outstanding and tremendous. not only is panama been slowly been encroached by china for over 25 years, but in fact, what he's speck if i cannily talking about is -- specifically talking about and china's warfare and they blend the two together.

rachel: we've been talking about the encroachment of the panama canal for a long time on this show and i want to play one of the first interviews from when we first launched the show. [ speaking native language ] [ speaking spanish ]

rachel: they're concerned about the gap being environment tally destroyed and wanting to be ken polcari at a timed for that and talking alaska the pan 45 canal. what's interesting to me, when i talked to him, he seemed quietly but definitely pro trump and would prefer trump to winch he was conservative but he was cagey whenever i brought up china. >> yeah, that's pretty much because he knows china has basically hoodwinked him into thinking everything they were doing was about business and operating parts of the strategic infrastructure like the panama canal and his back is against the wall. president molino is an ally with the united states and this is a conversation to have with allies and harder with adversaries. with allies, supposed to have a conversation about how do we create a network that allows us to defend both panama's interest

and united states interest. they need to decide if they think china is better for the national interest in the united states than where it's going and what president trump did with panama and greenland and canada and mexico and all those conversations in one breath and has to do with creating a security ark and president molino is an ally and friend and east supportive of president trump. but if president trump doesn't bring this up, panama won't want to have it conversation and it's a conversation to have with allies like panama. rachel: only one country in latin america that's resisted the lure, money, investments of china and past paraguay. is this tweet as outrageous as some people may find it, is this donald trump saying you got to choose, panama. are we your ally or is china

your ally because you can't have both with that canal there and the fact that china can control two of the ports there? >> this is president trump saying to all of latin america it's tile to reengage with the united states. the ambivalence with latin america is over anding looing at cabinet appointments and senator rubio and mike waltz and people from "fox & friends" pete hegseth and the new generation of thinking and people having a new strategy of how to look at the world. you can't look at the world less you look at western hemisphere and president trump is making that abundantly clear and latin america getting basically -- going to have to think about this in terms of gio p politics than from both sides and the idea of being able to trade with china and the united states and allow china to take up the critical infrastructure and

putting the united states in a weaker position and that era is over and president trump is making that statement right now. will: thank you, joseph. rachel: thank you, joseph. if the trump administration is smart, they'll put that -- take advice from that guy. joseph humire has been at the forefront of so much of this and understands the economics, national security and implications for the united states. it's fascinating. great job on joseph's part. will: new york governor will: new york governor establishing a so-called climate superfund.n' we'ls l explain coming up. many people were in remission at 12 weeks, at 1 year, and even at 2 years. don't use if allergic. serious allergic reactions, increased infections, or lower ability to fight them may occur. before treatment, get checked for infections and tb. tell your doctor about any flu-like symptoms or vaccines. liver problems leading to hospitalization may occur when treated for crohn's. ♪ control is everything to me. ♪ ask your gastroenterologist

charlie: fining fossil fuel companies $75 billion and raising energy prices across new york. e perts warn this could spread through the country and president trump doubling down on drill baby drill. here to react is someone that left new york city over the left wing policies and karol markowicz. great to see you this morning, karol. one of my favorite things about failed politicians is when they decide to get out of the business of all the things they're actually responsible for and start fooling with things that they have no business fooling with. >> 60% of new yorkers want someone else when she's up for reelection and she's been a failed governor for a listening time and do what i say and not what i do. she's constantly traveling on private jets and helicopters and would like the rest of us to pay

higher fuel prices and she's been a failure all around and not unique to her and bill de blasio and former failed mayor of new york city wanted to sue oil companies as well and this is a plot saying i hate oil companies the way you do. vote for me. charlie: it's the look over there strategy. the strategy trying to get her voters that she had contempt for and thinking they're stupid and they'll fall for that. this goes to the heart of why you decided to leave the city. all of the things and punishing, they don't punish de blasio going to punish the people she claims to be wanting to help and

all the press releases and going for them and something somebody said when they're in the business of government too long and not in the business of business. >> toes sit fuels cannot be banned and to punish the companies saying we're going to pay for companies and making them better and it's simply unfair and not going to pass in the courts and i don't know they'll get this through and politician in going to be long and believed. going through florida and how many days in the past three year haves you regretted moving out of new york city to florida?

>> i was a new york supremacist and lifelong new yorker and never wanted to leave and i'm rooting for new york and going for that. charlie: let common sense prevail. thank you so much. charlie: next, former head of cdc director dr. robert redfield breaks down how biden was kept in the dark on critical covid lab leak evidence. hey hun - sometimes, you just need a moment. self-care has never been this easy. gummy vitamins from nature made,

the #1 pharmacist recommended vitamin and supplement brand.

hillsdale was founded in 1844. we're passing on a cultural heritage, the culture of the west. when the federal government started giving money to colleges, we didn't take it.

that independence has allowed us to stay with our mission that we established 175 years ago. because we don't accept federal money. we are free to concentrate on the mission of the college. we care about freedom, and that affiliates us with the free institutions of america. (♪) will: the report revealing "three scientists at national center for medical intelligence, part of the pena pentagon's defe agency, conducted a scientific study that covid-19 was

manipmanipmanipmanipulated in la risky research experience. it wasn't brought into and incorporate intoed the report then presented to biden". dr. robert redfield is the former cdc director. great to see you this morning. the new bomb shell part we have to highlight once again. they knew. intelligence knew this was more probably and likely created in a lab but they stopped that intelligenceall the evidence

with the fbi and narcoanalysis when they came forward really points to this being a laboratory leak. this was a consequence of scientific experiments that unfortunately. will: last night i hosted jesse watters prime time and the apparatus at cia or whatever it may be was working with ecohealth alliance in partnership in wuhan lab to

monitor what they were doing and us to have insight and most grady trimble tuning fork turnover marginsly going for them -- gr gratuitously and creating these bio-environmental and it's the apparatus for that in the agency. >> it's very, very possible that peter and the health align was part of that. even as you pointed out, it's most likely they didn't want the government to come in and regulate scientific research and the intelligence was blocking any scrutiny and they didn't

want scrutiny to potentially uncover their assets they'd deployed already. will: then the idea would be that just so i understand completely, i don't -- i do want to hammer it a bit. i want to understand. understand, what would the intel agencies spying on china be for. the bio-weapon being developed and what were they monitoring mg and as a consequence have to cover up their presence in what happened in that lab in state t? >> yeah, probably the dual use lab of the wuhan lab and monitoring to see what type of bio-medical research they were doing, particularly worrying about weapons of mass destruction and whether they were getting into research outside the grounds of what they should do by treaty.

they were presenting their assets at expense of not telling the truth. i think the truth will come out and i'm excited about john radcliff being the new cia director. i think he'll get all the agencies back in the room and look at data. it was disappointing

unfortunately but predictable they didn't have the fbi at briefing for the president. fbi was the one agency that concluded it was from the laboratory. will: real quickly, doctor, we deny get to weather but this is a important sixty here and i have to ask you one last question. i said gratuitously and we're being a little gratuitous, is it possible, should we consider the fact the intelligence apparatus was helping to create these types of viruses where it's illegal in the united states but helping to have fade pattern ill sit far their own use and using on foreign land in china to do it? >> it's possible, will. it really s. this clearly as you know, tony fauci in charge of

the bio-defense strategy and almost $40 billion and they were clearly very involved and defense department and state department and nih in doing this research in partnership with china. so i think you have to consider that as a possibility. will: thank you so the "fox & friends" studio for styling our hosts for the entire month of december. ♪ for more than a decade farxiga has been trusted again and again, and again. ♪far-xi-ga♪ ♪far-xi-ga♪ ask your doctor about farxiga. mylowe's rewards is here.

rachel: we're starting off with all the viral moments and president elect trump broke the internet and we have the garbage truck, fight fight fight. we don't have the bad ass mug shot, but what's your favorite one? >> i'm a former garbage man. shout-out to my guys. rachel: i didn't know that . >> i've driven a garbage truck

and was a garbage man and when he did that, i said this touches heart and soul and engineers if you will, rachel. rachel: that's right. other than my husband, the next most important man in my life is the garbage man. i'm with you on that. so celebrities, talk about this, donald trump had these moments but celebrity endorsements just don't matter anymore. it's like end of an era. why? >> 2016 i started supporting president trump, i saw at tampa fairground all people, regular people and no celebrity and is went in because i'd known donald trump for 40 years and that's his core with regular people.

rachel: all these celebrities got paid and donald trump went after regular people. these are women, people going enough of all the girl bossing. we want men and want to be married. >> my mom, god rest her soul, it was all about la f familia. rachel: that's right. there was some big celebrity divorces and marriages and engagements. the big one, benifer and ben

affleck calling it quits. >> i'm not the guy to talk about divorces and multiple marriages, that's a whole other show, i don't to want go after anybody. but owe know what, nobody cares. rachel: people cared about lana delray marrying an alligator tour guide. >> he's a regular man. rachel: our producer is frantic. we have looking forward to that thank you, joe. >> good to see you, kid. rachel: kid. i love that . he's so old school.
