♪ [national anthem] ♪ ♪ [national anthem] ♪

♪ will: one of the the absolute best things about "fox & friends" weekend, your national anthem on this sunday morning, the last sunday morning of december. good morning. good morning to the rachel and charlie. charlie: good morning. will: glad to have you here. it is our last weekend of 2024, what an eventful year. and i think we're going if to have a great 20 a 5. rachel: in fact, we're going to do a recap of all the best moments on this show later on. will: first, a fox news alert. a devastating plane crash in south korea has left at least 177 people dead. carrying 181 people onboard, it

skidded off the runway about 180 miles south of seoul earlier today. a. rachel: cleanup continuing this morning after the plane explode on impact with a concrete wall. at the international airport there in south korea. video is graphic. we want to give some of our viewers a warning, because you may find this disturbing. [background sounds] charlie: incredibly, two crew members were pulled from the if wreckage alive without any life-threatening injuries. local officials say the control tower issued a bird strike the warning shortly afterward, and shortly afterwards, pilots declared may day and attempted to land.

will: the jet's land aring gear was not deployed during the crash landing. sad, sad story the that plaided out on many people's social media timeline right there for all of us to the see how it occurred. let's bring in an aviation consultant to shed a little more light. mike, when you see that video of the crash, what stands out to you? >> number one, the gear is not extended, the flaps are not extended which would indicate that there was major hydraulic failure of some kind there. i understand that even when the hydraulic failure, there's a mechanical way of dropping the landing gear, and that was not done. i think we're going to be in the dark until we find the cockpit voice recorder and the black box for this because it looks like there was a bird strike from if some earlier picture of it. they did vector the airplane around to the other end of the runway with, so there was control. but landing at this speed or coming down at this speed with

the gear not down, it looks like that airplane suffered some major hydraulic failure of some kind, and we don't know what that will be until we get the black boxes. rachel: if the black boxes have been found, so hopefully some answers will be found from that. for those of us who don't know a lot about this, what impact does a bird strike have, and also this hydraulic failure, is that that spirally mechanical, or could concern entirely mechanical, or could there be a pilot decision or problem with that as well? >> well, you know, there are a million backups on this airplane. it's extremely safe, and that's what a lot of people are saying, they can't understand why the airplane was landed on that runway at that speed with no flaps, with to gear. this might have been something else involved. a bird strike the on an engine might if shut an ungeneral down, but there are so many -- engine

down, but there are so many redundant systems, it just doesn't make sense. we're in thing dark, but the runway's 9200 feet. it did come in hot and high, hot and fast. we don't know why that was. the real issue, that airplane was probably damaged more than we think, and it may not have been just the bird strike. there might have been other things that happened to that airplane. we don't know. but it's very strange to have that airplane land that hot on a runway that's 9200 feet to the point where it literally was still going pretty strong when it hit that wall. charlie: i still can't wrap my head around the idea that there were two the two people that survived that crash, especially when you watch the explosion if at the end. are you surprised by that? and how does anybody survive something like that? >> i don't know. i'm thrilled by it, actually, for their families. they were probably in the jump seats in the very back of airplane. it makes sense. the airplane absorbed all that, and they really got away with the very lucky position where

they were. because they weren't very far from the rest of the passengers on that airplane. god love are 'em, it's a wonderful thing that they were blessed a this way, but these things do happen. and again, how an airplane breaks up when it hits the ground, it's different every time. will: mike, you know, i've always been told, and i'd love for you to tell me if this is accurate, it's actually more risky during takeoff than it is on landing for most air flights. we all feel the jolt when we land and a bit of nervous ifst, but landing is one of the more safe aspects of air travel. i want you to tell me if that's true or not, but i also want to see my understand what you were telling rachel correctly. is it possible to land the plane and get it to stop without its landing gear belly first like we saw there if the runway is long enough to bring it to a stop, or should perhaps the pilot, if the plane was capable, have avoided a landing and tried to stay up until the issues were resolved?

>> i would suspect the second part they were doing, because i understand they did one go around. that's reported. i don't know. keep in mind, you know, yes, there are belly landings all the time. i mean, it's not unheard of. but in this case, that airplane didn't have its flaps. that meant if it was coming in at a much higher speed to stay in the sky, and that meant, banker we're going way too fast on that runway. it has to do with the happens in in this case. the landing gear it, we've had those things happen, but when you're landing at a very, very high speed because you can't slow down because you fall out of the sky -- and we don't know what the background of the crew is. this air ryan's been in business almost 20 years, it's almost a new airport, so all those things i don't think will be factors, but we will find out. rachel: mike p it can't be ignored that this was a boeing plane. can you talk to the us about that? because there have been some issues with boeing, in fact,

even some issues with boeing airplanes that very day at other airport as. nothing deadly, but -- >> i wouldn't go anywhere with that, i really wouldn't. we had a separate set of things that -- and this 800 is a very safe airplane. there's never been any systemic problems with it. i would say it's not a boeing issue. again, you always want to look at that because you learn something from every crash. you learn something something. but the fact of the matter is we do know some systems on that airplane were not working, and we knew there was a bird strike right before. that's probably the path they're going to go down right away although every path is open. will: mike p we appreciate you jumping on with us early this morning and helping us understand about this sad tragedy in south korea. >> my pleasure. charlie: he's right, got bless the families of the two survivors. you look at that that crash, i don't know how anybody if

possibly survived it. rachel: yeah, it'sen believable. -- unbelievable. yesterday we had quite a few discussions on the debate that's raging online about h-1b visas, and elon musk and vivek ramaswamy if coming out and saying, hey, we need this, our country needs this, our companies need this. we need to have this technological advantage over china and other countries. and other people saying, uh, i'm not so sure a lot of those h-1b visas are for coding, and they're sort of the grunt work of the tech industry, and there's a lot of americans who would like those jobs, and we should be working or training them instead of replacing them with foreign workers who presumably will do it for cheaper. so that's the debate that's raging. and in the midst of that, someone found a quote from donald trump where he says -- he back withs h-1b visas. now, that would be contradictory

the what he has said in the past. we'll have to get to the bottom of that, but here's what he said on this. he said, "the new york post" reported on saturday he said, i've always liked the visas, i've always been in favor of the visas, that's why we have them. i have many h-1b visas on my properties, i've been a believer, i've used it many times, it's a great program. charlie: this is, i think, as we talked about yesterday, such an important debate. it's happening entirely among republicans and within trump world. and, obviously, what he is talking about here is the fact that, you know, he's obviously defending the program. but what i also think is sort of interesting is that he put them into place in his first term, a lot of restrictions that protected the program, that reformed the program and, of course, one of the first things joe biden did including opening the border wide open to let lots andlots of unskilled labor into

the country that we have no control over, also removed a lot of those reforms to the h-1b visa program so that it was open to widespread abuse. will: and, in fact, that's what stephen miller tweeted back in 2023 talking about the first trump term and his position. he said biden axes reforms which eliminatedded the use for cheap labor, raised wages, outlawed substitution and replaced h-1b lotteries with high-paying offers which precluded substitutions. regs were scrapped and now big tech is replacing americans. so trump weighs in yesterday suggesting he supports h-1b visas. now, in the past he has looked for reforms to h-1b visas. on the surface, this issue, i don't think, has as deepen a divide on the right as one might initially perceive meaning i think a lot of people on the right including obviously,

donald trump and elon musk, support bringing in whatever percentage, .0 1%, whatever the number is, of highly skilled people. the idea of bringing your best. but the program can't be used to box american workers out. that's been the perspective in the past of donald trump, and by suspect it will be the position of donald trump in the future. rachel: me too. will: but the debate got deeper and more contentious on the cultural level. for example, that's where i took some exceptions, i thought vi make made too sweeping indictment of american culture. elon weighed in immediately after donald trump -- rachel: pretty soundly, by way. will: this is a quote from tropic thunder. remember that with -- [laughter] charlie: i don't know, can we actually read the entire -- will: i don't know, but let's try. rachel: okay, where is it? will: let's do it. he said the reason i'm in america along with so many critical people who built

spacex, tesla and hundreds of other companies is because of h h-1b. go ahead, charlie -- charlie: you can take a big step back and have fun with yourself -- [laughter] rachel: so that's what he said. listen, i want to get into the cultural stuff. before that, remember, context about a lot of people were upset about the h-1b visas, that famous story of disney. do do you guys remember that? if disney i was going to lay off these workers, some sort of software workers, and then they said, listen, we're going to lay you off, and you will not get your severance unless you train the people that come in, these were foreign the workers on this type of visa. and so that really, i mean, really upset a lot of americans, and i believe that was the context around the conversation about abuses. and lots of people are weighing in on both sides of this. obviously, vivek and elon very

strongly on the side of getting more h-1b h-1b visas, saying we won't be competitive. the cultural side, i think, is fast fascinating, will and charlie. i guess vivek saying he thinks that we need to -- our culture has a problem with, you know, not prizing enough those who are valedictorians and academically, you know, succeeding versus those who are the prom if queens and the quarterbacks, i guess. charlie: what i think they kind of wandered into and neither if vivek nor elon musk, i think, appreciates the nuances on just what a sore spot this is for americans. it wasn't just disney, you can go through every industry going back 30 years and find examples of where american worker were forced to train their replacements as they -- and unbolt their machinery and send it to china.

one thing i have to say though that i think is extreme -- you know, i've known stephen miller since back when he was on capitol hill working for -- rachel: sessions. charlie: -- for jeff sessions, and he's always been one of the smartest people and most devoted to reforming immigration. and there's, there are few people that i know who know more about this and care more about it which, of course, is why trump values him so much. will: right. charlie: and if there's a guy who understands where that line is between valuing the best of the best, the cream of the crop from if other places and and finding a way to, you know, use them in america versus just looking for cheap labor -- will: right. charlie: -- because all of it is kind of geared towards looking for cheaper labor. rachel: charlie, nobody's against importing another elon musk. charlie: right. rachel: you know? we'll take more of those. will: right. rachel: however, if there are

americans who can do the job, let's have them -- charlie: but you know who can't do it? the current sitting president. did you know joe biden is still president? [laughter] i still can't believe it. "the washington post" had a story out yesterday. i think it may possibly be the most delusional story coming, from like, five different angles about how he regrets dropping out of the race. the headline, joe biden's lonely battle to sell his vision to to america -- of american democracy in his presidency's final chant er. biden has mused about whether he should have handled decisions differently. one of those being that his decision the drop out. will: yeah. charlie: in the first place. will: saying he thought he could have beat donald trump. it's an easy thing to say. i wasn't in the championship game, i lost in the semis, but i would have won. i'm using it now in fantasy football. i'm using that exact same excuse. rachel: maybe what he's saying is i was better than kamala, i

had a better chance than kamala. will: and who knows? but he did say, in the in "the washington post" they're saying biden and some of his aides believe he should have stayed in the race. biden and his aides have told people in recent days that he could have defeated trump and say the president has been careful not to place blame on harris or her campaign. charlie: what's so interesting about that though is this whole thing was an off the record, you know, anonymous quotes back and forth, and both sides are -- the harris supporters and the biden supports are treating one another with such kid gloves, being so careful -- rachel: why do you think? charlie: because they both know so much about the others that they don't want, you know, the biden people in the white house don't want the harris people really coming out and and talking about how bad things were and vice versa. rachel: right. because theoverring up of joe biden -- the covering up of joe biden's mental decline is one of the biggest scandals of our

time, actually, and both sides were implicated. both sides participated in that. i want to show this clip of joe biden at the debate. i think we have a montage, do we not? all right, let's watch that. >> $the 2 trillion -- $the $2 trillion tax cut benefited -- we have 1,000 billionaires in america. if they just paid 24%, 25%, either one of those numbers, they'd raise $500 million -- billion, i should say. making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what i've been able to do with the covid -- excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with -- look, if we finally beat medicare -- >> thank you, president biden. >> and i'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on, the total initiative

relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers. >> president trump? >> i really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. i don't think he knows what he said either. look -- [laughter] rachel: donald trump won the debate right there. that was the end -- [laughter] will: you like old movies. is it on the waterfront with marlon brando, coulda been a contender?

rachel: a federal judge in texas blocking the biden administration from auctioning any more of president-elect trump's border wall which it has been selling off at a fraction of the cost. trump celebrating the move as a, quote, major, crucial win for america and our national security. incoming border czar tom homan's weighing in too. >> a little bit of good news, one of the companies actually reached out to me willing to give us that border wall products back at what they paid for it, the pen nist on the dollar, giving it back for the

same price. rachel: retired lieutenant colonel chuck devore joins us now. good morning, chuck. >> good morning, rachel. rauner: rachel: this is a win for trump. i flew over the border and saw this, get this, chuck, border wall on the ground rusting, and if then i saw a processing detention center with a huge border wall around it. [laughter] so no border wall for our country, but no one can get into where they're processing the illegal migrants. the whole thing was insane, right in. >> yeah. well, it's important to the understand, i mean, aye been there too, i've been to the border in texas and in arizona and saw exactly what you saw, huge piles of border material that the biden administration immediately on their very first day stopped construction. and then, of course, right next to that where there are gaps in the wall, people coming illegally into the country. so thank goodness we got this

court order that texas attorney general ken paxton was able to get that court order, and just two days ago they stopped the auctioning. this is crazy, pennies on the dollar and we're getting ready the finally finish that border wall after trump put n as i recall, 540 miles he successfully installed. rachel: yeah, absolutely. i want to move to this topic with you, which is china. you know, china's reportedly building up weapons as well as psychological warfare operations, and trump apparently was -- by the way, there was a meeting between china and iran just recently, and trump was top of mind. i want to talk about the priorities and how they might change now that donald trump is in office, because it seems like our country has been spending money in ukraine, you know, i guess rebuilding nations, you know, other countries, rechanging, you know are, rebuilding the middle and changing that, and we've been spending money on all this stuff. meanwhile, china has been

building it military but also, i think very effectively, you know, getting into the western hemisphere, getting involved in commerce which, of course, their commerce has a dual purpose, a military purpose. we see it especially here in the western hemisphere. what is your take on this? >> well, ray dell -- rachel, i think things are extremely dangerous right now. there was a pentagon report that i wrote about in fox news or actually, pardon me, the federalist, that looked at this pentagon report. i was very critical of it because of a couple of things. first thing was that they had a special section on corruption in the chinese military as if to say they're somehow not effective. well, corruption is a way of life out there. everybody is corrupt. and the reason why xi jinping is using corruption to get rid of certain generals is he wants them to be loyal to him. it has nothing to do with corruption. and so somehow we're hiking that because they're corrupt, they're not going to be the deadly and effective. the other thing, rachel, is

they're massively building up their nuclear arsenal. we expect it to expand to at least 1,000 warheads by 2030, only 5 years from now, probably going to be even bigger than that. and then the third thing is the navy. the chinese navy if not by on the thage, but by numbers, is now larger than the u.s. navy. the chinas -- china has something like 250 times the shipbuilding capacity. it takes a long time. we need trained workers. we need people who know how to weld, manufacturing that knows how to make the right alloyed steel, etc., etc. it takes a long time to build a navy. so what you have right now, rachel, is china is engaging in an unprecedented military buildup that the world hasn't seen, frankly, since adolf hitler in the 1930s. the big difference there is he focused on land power which, frankly, is easy the body up quickly. navy -- build up quickly.

navies are much more difficult to build up, and we're way behind. we need to catch up i, we need to modernize our nuclear weapons and put a lot of effort into missile defense. as we've seen in israel and ukraine, missile defense is both needed and effective. rachel: yeah. and it's, by the way, your navy point is so well taken. that's also why they've informed in ports -- invested in ports around the world. we have a mega port in peru. they're involved in the panama canal, and we're busy building climate-friendly ships and dei programs in our military. >> it's insane. rachel: it's totally insane. >> we need to focus on war fighting. rachel: amen to that. chuck devore, your article's in the federalist. it's really worth a read, and i encourage you our viewers to do so. thank you so much. >> thank you. rachel: you got it. the race to succeed congresswoman elise stefanik heats up with a new challenger. why our next guest says he's

charlie: terrible storms turning deadly in the south yesterday as tornadoes ripped through parts of texas and mississippi. at least two people died and several more were hurt. the national weather service file being at least six tornado reports yesterday. this footage showing us the widespread scale of some of the damage in texas. more than 100,000 homes losing power as cross texas, louisiana and mississippi. let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for our fox weather forecast. adam: good morning, charlie. it's that same line of storms we're still watching early sunday morning. it's one to watch throughout the entire day. the risk may be lower but still a chance of big weather, and actually even earlier this morning everything you're looking at in those yellow boxes, that is a severe-warned thunderstorm. still powerful storms folks are waking up to early here in the southeast, but yesterday what an

explosion of storms. these are all the storm reports we saw from yesterday morning running into overnight here early on this sunday morning. over 200 reports. several tornadoes, lots of hail, wind, continuing to see a risk hike that kind of creep into your sunday. the worst of this, six confirmed tornadoes that the ran right along the gulf coast area really just south of houston. this is our risk area for today. it's a 2 on a scale of 5, yesterday it was a 4 on a scale of 5. so a little bit lower risk, but it's something we're going to be paying attention to. for now, i'll throw it over to you. will: thank you, adam. as elise stefanik looks to take the on the united nations, the race to replace her key seat in congress is heating up with our next guest among the latest to jump in. new york state senator dan steck navy veteran joins us now.

dan, thanks for being with us. it's an important seat. of course, the balance of power is on the side of republicans, but it's a narrow margin in congress. what -- why do you think it's important for you to go from the new york assembly to the united states congress and help out republicans in washington, d.c.? >> well, thanks, will, and good morning. president trump made a fantastic pick in if elise stefanik, and i've had the great privilege to work with her from the state legislature perspective. it's a razor thin part if that they have. and so there's zero room for error here. we need the make sure this seat stays republican, and when i look at my resumé, my body of work, my background, i'm best positioned to do that. my entire 3 20,000-person senate district resides within new york 11. i was born and raised, college-educated in the district. i've lived my entire life in the district with the exception of my 8 years in the navy.

so is my engineering background, 12 years in the state legislature, it's positioned me, one, be able to win the seat and, two, be able to do the job at the highest level. again, i think president trump made a fantastic pick, but now we need to make sure this seat remains republican. i got 104,000 votes on election day last month. i am by far the most well known candidate in the district, and that's why that and the skill set that i believe i bring is why i'm going to try to run if the chairs pick me. will: we appreciate your service, state senator. there are a few other names that have considered jumping in. i know the sticker mule ceo may run against you. i do need to ask you about your relationship with donald trump. of in 20 to 16, you unendorsed donald trump, and and i'm looking at an enforcement for 2024 of new york state republicans that endorsed donald trump in our curve, in our most

recent race for president, and i don't see your name. what has been your position, therefore, on donald trump? >> absolutely. let me correct you, i never unendorsed donald trump n. 2016 i was asked by a local reporter if i would endorse along with my state senator, and at the time we both said we were going to withhold that, and ten days later i announced that i did support donald trump. i voted for him and endorsed him in 2020 and '24, and i was the first state senator after my conference leader endorsed on behalf of the conference, i was the first state senator to issue a press release endorsing donald trump in 2024. i'm 100% onboard with the make america great and america first agenda. it's absolutely critical that we pursue that. there's no daylight between donald trump and me when it comes to moving forward with his agenda, and i want to make sure we keep the seat so that we can pursue the mandate that he was given by the voters across the country. will: i just want to make sure i have it right. if i'm wrong, i'm happy to be

corrected. and, by the way, there's a debate about, you know, do we need to elect the best electable republican. it is an r9 district, and e reese testify stick did -- elise stefanik did serve it, basically, is side by side with donald trump the entirety of her tenure. there's an article here from the post star sawing that you will not endorse donald trump from 2016. you're telling me after -- >> yes. will: you're telling me after that you chose to to endorse -- >> 12 days later, the same newspaper asked the same question, and i said that i was voting for donald trump. will: okay. real quick -- i appreciate that. >> yeah. will: and i appreciate that. if that's accurate -- >> but, will, if i could, i'll go on and and if i'll just say in the aftermath from that, i've seen the job that he did when d his first term as president, i saw the nonsense that democrats threw at him with the lawfare and the impeachments and the constant i a taxes. hay tried to bankrupt him, lock him up. of it was absolutely insane, this reaction that they had to

♪ charlie: north carolina is still rebuilding from hurricane helene with many still homeless, but cabins for christ is giving victims a roof over their head this winter. the founder of cabins for christ, devon taylor, joins us now. great to see you with, devon, and thank you for all you've done. i've got to ask you, so what inspiredded you -- inspired you to decide to to launch cabins for christ? >> thank you, charlie. you know, we -- my wife and i founded a ministry ab four years ago called campers care ministry. we tack some campers down three or four days after hurricane

helene hit the asheville area of north carolina, specifically swannanoa. and when we got there, we realized at that point the campers, we just couldn't get enough campers quick enough to fill the need that was needed in that affected area. so about three or four days after while we were in swannanoa at the christian church, we were getting ready to come back home to chatham, and the lord just put it on our heart to do more. and we began to ask the lord what could we do. and it was at that moment that i caught a vision of building some cabins, basically camper or an rv on a 12-volt system without a wheel and axle underneath it. is at that point it became cabins for christ. and we met with some folks back in chatham, chris blair and his

folks at rrb electric and a and a mechanical. we presented a vision to chris and his team who have been great ministry partners of ours since the beginning. and at that point we were going to build 26, and chris looked at us and said that's not even a drop in the bucket, and he said let's do 75. he shut his whole shop down and began to build those 75 kits which we shipped individually to the asheville community through various local business owners in the chatham area. and if they shipped those down. and then we had over 120 the 0 -- 120 the 0 volunteers from across the united states come together in asheville, north carolina, to begin to the assemble those kits that were constructed in chatham. charlie: so what's the total number of cabins that you've provided so far? >> so right now we've had other churches from as far away as ohio, south carolina to actually call us and say, hey, we want to to build a couple of these, can

you send us the specification, so not only the ones we've built, we've also built additional ones on the ground. some areas, charlie, as you're reporting, you can't even get a vehicle to, so we had to actually walk some of the material in and build them on site in people's yards because you couldn't even get a vehicle, like i say, close enough to the home to deliver it. so right now as we stand today some ten, just under ten weeks of being on the ground with all our volunteers and supporters, viewers, 175 cabins and campers together combined, we're supplying 175 individuals and families across. and we continue to deliver two or three or four a day. we're continuing to get requests every day. shar martha's just extraordinary. -- charlie: that that's just extraordinary. volunteers and donors can find

you at cabins for christ.com, is that correct? >> yeah. it's cabins, the number 4, christ.com is the web site. if we're committed, charlie, to the area. we're not leaving. we will begin from -- we're calling it from our relief to recovery after the first of the year that we're going to begin rebuilding homes and getting people out of these camper, out of the cabins and back into their homes. so we'll begin our rebuilding efforts in the next few days. we've got about six projects right now that we're going to begin actually building homes for people, repairing their homes so they can get back in there within that, the time frame that a lot of these localities have put -- charlie: well, god bress you and god bless all your volunteers. we thank you for what you're doing. devin taylor, cabins for christ. >> thank you, charlie. charlie: forget times square, one florida beach town's new

well. so we originally came up with the organization in order to help fund the community fireworks on fourth of july. but what wound up happening is we stepped in for new year's as well, and the idea of dropping a massive steam thing shrimp into a steaming cauldron seemed like the natural thing to do in the home of the modern shrimp industry. is we decided at that point to try and pit on. as you see on the screen, you have a giant 7-foot shrimp there. he's head the tail with lights, and he hangs 30 feet over everyone's head, and he's lowered down into that cauldron. we do countdown, and it's a beautiful thing. rachel: it's very clever it's obviously highlighting the try there, but i what has this done for new year's eve? has it attracted more people to the island for the celebration? >> yes. amelia island is known as a tourist connection nation -- destination. the first shrimp drop had about

2,000 people in attendance, the most recent one last year had closer to 5,000 people. so our numbers have doubled since 2015 when it first started. so, yeah. i mean, the amount of attendance is huge, and it's become kind of a big thing, you know? if here we are with you guys. and you cover used us back -- covered us back in 2016, a year after we first did it. will: you guys are third, we've got to get that up to second, maybe even first. >> that's right. will: we appreciate you being on the show this morning, we'll be watching for the shrimp drop. >> thank you. will: all right. more "fox & friends" moments away. i'm a retired school librarian. i'm also a library board trustee, a mother of two, and a grandmother of two. about five years ago, i was working full time, i had an awful lot of things to take care of. i needed all the help i could get. i saw the commercials for prevagen. i started taking it. and it helped!
