republican leadership told republicans, snow is coming, stay in town over the weekend. they'll have plenty of people. >> ainsley: both chambers will lead out loud and count electoral votes. trump won by 312 versus 226, the process is expected to unfold without hitch presidency. >> brian: intoination, you can't teach it, don't try. >> ainsley: unless you are talented as brian. >> brian: that is what i wanted to say, wasn't going to say it like that. democrats won't show up and republicans will. four years ago and joe biden brought it up yesterday, donald trump waited for three hours while this was happening and democracy was in danger. they said in donald trump legacy how much does january 6 figure

into it. american public said 5%. they had a special hearing, prime-time shows, they gavelled in and had abc producer, it did not resonate. it is a small part of donald trump's story. after today, there should not be much. >> lawrence: american people weighed, the whole summer, they had towns on fire. they allowed protesters to come in. it was for justice to shut down targets and pharmacies so elderly people couldn't get prescriptions. they watched police departments be being stormed and torched. they compared it to that and

said it was one day, the people that were responsible for some of them had been overcharged and they moved on. their current circumstance mattered more. >> steve: today marks two weeks nothing inauguration, "fox and friends" will be live from the mall for incoming president donald trump's inauguration. on the way out with less than two weeks to go, joe biden did something yesterday. he signed a sweeping offshore drilling ban. essentially what it does, it blocks 625 million acres of american land, territory offshore, east coast, west coast, gulf coast along the sea so it cannot be developed for drilling. this is to send a message to donald trump, not so fast. karoline leavitt, white house

press secretary had this to say in the last hour. >> karoline leavitt: this is a disgraceful decision by the biden administration. we know joe biden doesn't know what is going on, this is not him, this is environmental ext extremists who don't care about what is in the best interest of the american people. american people who voted for drill, baby, drill. inten is to enact political revenge on american people and on president trump. this will be joe biden's legacy, not doing what is in the best interest of the american people. it is about throwing stones at those who don't believe in their ideology, being anti-trump, not pro-america. that will change on january

20th. >> steve: americans could reverse it, in the meantime look for it to get tied up in court. >> ainsley: this is his legacy? m meanwhile groceries are expensive and inflation under him and now do this. it will hurt oil industry, bring prices higher, wouldn't it? harder to drill. >> brian: it is executive order, it can be overturned. it was on his stack, like joe biden had a huge stack of executive orders. if president cared about the russia and ukraine war, he would allow them to stay off russian gas and oil and not buy from russia.

you can as usual, worst foreign policy in history. give them arms, slow walk them, get rid of oil and gas drilling, it makes prices go up and makes security greater risk for our allies. >> lawrence: to the point from a public standpoint, administration saying we're cooperating with the transition, i'm getting along with the president-elect. they are putting roadblocs. same thing with the border wall, they were selling off the border wall. every opportunity to put a barrier in place for the new transition, they are doing. you can't say i'm cooperating when you are telling liberal allies, we'll put guardrails and same with agencies, trying to

the get career people stay and say resist trump. >> ainsley: trump will find a way. >> lawrence: of course he will. >> brian: we'll see it happen. social security, everyone thinks it should be saved. if you upgrade amount of payments, that is what he did over the weekend. >> steve: donald trump will be sworn in two weeks from today, i'll bet he addresses what joe biden did. joe biden will head to new orleans to meet with victims of that attack on new year's eve on bourbon st. >> ainsley: jacqui heinrich is l live. >> there is a need to hold on to each other -- asked by reporters

if he believes white streauprem is greatest threat, which he said throughout his administration. he gave this answer. >> one of many threats. -- we are the most extensive multi cultural nation in the world. >> it was a answer, president in free wheeling mood addressing new democratic members of congress. he went on another tafngent abot strom thurmand. and on eve of election c

certification, repeated this message about trump. >> i think what he did was genuine threat to democracy, i'm hopeful we're beyond that. >> this morning president released op ed writing election will be certified peacefully. i will be present for the inauguration. on this day, we cannot forget, this is what we owe to our nation and commit to remembering january 6, 2021. the president will be in new orleans when the election is certified and vice president kamala harris presides over her own loss. >> steve: great remaining on target while the street sweeper went behind you. sounds like joe biden will give out more pardons.

unclear who they would go to and because we had heard a couple weeks ago he might pardon people targeted with future investigations. >> we've seen reporting about that, white house declined to answer questions about it few times that they received questions, i should note there are no upcoming briefings this week because the president will be out of town. we expect karine jean-pierre to gaggle aboard air force one. >> brian: thanks. >> lawrence: if he wanted to be secretary of state, he should never have run for president. he is letting us know what is happening, i understand election is over, he is still president right now. >> brian: his philosophy is george constanza, whatever he said, we should do opposite,

remember opposite day. then we would have successful foreign policy and he would, too. blinken said i have no regrets about withdrawal from afghanistan. is he an idiot? no one should take a bow after he pulled out of iraq. in comes yiern to iraq and they have not left and we had to go back in and had presence there. craziest thing i. you would think that is his exit interview. the timeline of new orleans, fbi making up ground after giving terrible information. they got the grown-ups in and explained what happened. during the bush years into obama years, we were all over this terrorist. if there was somebody who traveled to egypt and went to a

terr terrorist section of egypt, that is where al qaeda was born, stayed a mongst, they would have told the cia. no communication. guy comes back and goes again and then goes to new orleans and they said nothing. all these other clues in the pasts, fbi picked up on, i wonder if we'll have an fbi that will focus on this stuff again. we know they know how to do it. >> lawrence: 100%. >> steve: there used to be a watch list, was he on the watch list? >> ainsley: kash patel will be coming on employs . lindsey graham said we're at war. gave iran's ayatollah money fer

terrorism. get the confirmations done, january, february, we need our team on the field. we need an fbi fbi director and an attorney general. >> brian: that would be nice, especially in marco rubio's case. and the news about pete hegseth. >> lawrence: looks like he has the vote. >> brian: senator john thune told president-elect trump. >> lawrence: carley has headlines. >> carley: nippon steel suing biden administration on decision to block 14.1 billion purchase of the american steel maker. lawsuit argues move was unconstitutional and showed ung unlawful political influence. they are asking to review the deal. fox news alert, justin trudeau

will be stepping down from his position as early as today. his country faces several challenges including housing crisis and struggling economy. his exit would leave the liberal party would you want a head, the federal election will be later the this year. terrifying footage shows a plane's wing burst into flames. powell airlines had ani incidence, it is believed landing gear caused the problems. all passenger and crew got off the plane safely. 2025 golden globes took place last night with host nicki gl glassier mocking presidential endorsements. >> i'm not here to roast you

tonight, how could i? you are so famous, talented and powerful, you could do anything, except tell the country who to vote for. it is okay, you'll get them next time, if there is one. >> carley: kamala harris received endorsements from a-listers like oprah winfrey, beyonce and taylor swift to name a few. she was picked because of moments like that. >> steve: she was great. thank you. >> ainsley: i didn't know much about her until the roast, tom brady's roast. >> brian: they had stand-up comic and box office hits. box office are often not hits with artist community. why denmark could regret not selling greenland to trump.

greenland may regret not selling to donald trump. w "wall street journal" editorial page james freeman joins us now. jim, good to have you. when presidents, donald trump suggested we ought to buy gr greenland and denmark says, can't have it. now greenland wants independence. what does that do to denmark? >> could we have gotten something for it in 2019. brian was talking about the con constanza theory. when donald trump says something unusual, immediate reaction as denmark's was, that is absurd. it is not that absurd.

denmark sold virgin islands. it is about timing. >> steve: what would be in the united states best interest to go ahead and try to buy it? what do we get out of it? >> we would be buying the sovereignty, not buying people, as this is sometimes seen. property rights are respected. there is an interesting mineral play there. it is most of the country is frozen tundra, take a lot of capital to get natural gas, minerals, maybe oil. i think president trump sees it as strategic asset. we have the nuclear warning system at the top of the island, space force base to detect potential missile launches from russia. >> steve: one thing about your

piece i read in w"wall street journal," is the fact greenland is hard to get to, you fly in from denmark. now it is becoming interesting to tourists? >> it is. there are beautiful fishing villages. >> steve: vacation at fishing villages? >> i've never been there and i'm not planning a trip. united with fly there beginning this summer. >> steve: from newark to nuke? >> yes, none stop, exciting. >> see if greenland takes trump up on it, read about it in w"wal street journal." meanwhile, four and a half hours from now, congress will certify trump's win and republican party is ready to jump start his

>> brian: you talked to m murkowski and collins. >> every member wants to listen to what they say to the committee. we've had meetings with many of the nominees and i've gotten strong, positive reports. the nominees are be know pres presenting themselves in good, positive light. >> brian: other big story, what is first? senator john thune come out and said i want to do one bill at time, border, defense, tax reform. house side said, i don't think we can do it that way. listen to speaker johnson. >> i think president trump would prefer one, big, beautiful bill

and there is merit to that. put it together one big up or down vote, which can save the country and give us more time to negotiable and get it right. s >> brian: and he said put it all together, where do you stand? >> president trump is in a hurry to get america back on track and so am i. that means securing the border and starting to deport illegals and getting prices down by taking handcuffs off american energy and preventing large tax increases. we need the cabinet in place. we want to get president trump in office, that is what american people voted for and that is what we'll certify today in congress. this is historic victory for

president trump. teddy roosevelt was out of office and tried to come back and couldn't do it. has not happened in 130 years and president trump was able to do it. we want to deliver what president trump and republicans have promised with regard to taxes, prices and border. we are unified. >> brian: mechanics say bill probably wouldn't be ready until april or may, is that the timeline president trump is comfortable with? can he wait from january to april for the bill to pas? >> i can assure you, president trump come january 20 will be in oval office signing executive orders to reverse so much damage joe biden has done to this country. he will not wait on laws, he will do everything he can

>> lawrence: president biden set to visit with victims of new orleans terror attack as we are learning about the suspect's actions prior to the attack. live from new orleans. hi, madison. >> yesterday's update the fbi said the investigation is just getting started. the agency said shamsud din jabbar traveled to fwooip and egypt and canada in 2023. state and federal authorities reiterating there are no other

suspects right now. fbi showed a video of jabbar placing devices. one was placed in a cooler around 1:53 a.m. and dropped off second ied 2:20 a.m., less than an hour from the attack on new year's morning. >> it represents a lot of times to be detected. >> jabbar made two trips to new orleans in months leading up to the attack. by using meta smart glasses he recorded himself and had video glasses on during the attack but the glasses were not activated. >> we don't know why he

specifically chose new orleans. this is a top priority to understand the day of the attack and reason behind the two previous attacks. >> new orleans mayor says top priority is increased security especially with super bowl and mardi gras coming up and she plans to speak with president biden this afternoon, he will be here. the governor in louisiana declared day of mourning for the victims starting today. >> lawrence: thanks. join fox in supporting loved one louisiana foundation to help victims of the terror attack to assist with funeral expenses and medical. scan the qr code or go to the website at the bottom of the

screen. our next guest argues this is why our new cabinet picks must be confirmed quickly because politicized fbi weaponizes our country. initial reaction was to tell peep else it was not an act of terrorism for mpolitical correctness. this fbi insisted for years conservative white men are greatest terror threat facing america. islamic terrorists are losts in the mix. with nomination of patel as fbi director, we can believe we are being told the truth. david marcus joins us to explain. david, i'm watching the video and press conference from the fbi and see the video show an isis flag on the truck and they say it is not a terrorist attack.

isis is a ter terrorist organization, they told us otherwise initially. >> good morning, i don't think you have to be sherlock holmes to associate isis flag with terrorism. this was not a gps error. we had just seen what had happened in germany not long before. this is tactic used by islamic terrorists in new york. it was a slap in the face to the american people. we understand what is going on, old norah donnell phrase. american people are sick of it. we see mass murderer that fits one agenda, we get manifesto, another agenda, we get nothing. kash pat let el can't get in

office soon enough. >> lawrence: similar to when you saw protesters going after jewish students and white house releases statement talking about is islamaphobia. my big question, you have rank and file fbi agents, but how deep is political nature of fbi and leadership right now? can nabe overturned with kash patel? >> i hope it can relatively quickly. rank and file of fbi, you have some wonderful americans trying to do the right thing. it seems to be a small group, including communications arm of the fbi it is captured by dei stuff. media picks up with it and roll with this nonsense of about white men being greatest terrorist threat. it starts at top with people

like wra wra. i don't think it will take patel long to affect positive change. >> lawrence: he has experience on capitol hill and was behind the russian collusion hoax. we look forward to seeing what happens. thanks for joining the program. check in with bill hemmer and dana perino. they're back, happy new year. >> bill: back on trump time, congress set to cert fire the vote today. >> dana: and biden is blocking trump on energy. can trump figure out way around that. >> bill: new details about the terror hit in new orleans. >> dana: might be dry january, surgeon general warning about alcohol. >> bill: where were we? >> dana: new week begins in a few. sheldon: restoration is more than walls. it's more than paint.

teenagers, other high schoolers who might want to go to one of the academies? >> i would just say stick to what you want. stick to what you are doing. a lot of people as they get older change their decision on what they want to do. it has been what i wanted to do. if you stick to one goal you can accomplish anything. >> ainsley: how hard was the process? >> well, i made the application and then had to go to an interview competing against probably maybe 50 other people. >> ainsley: it's a rigorous process because they are choosing the best of the best to serve our country. thank you so much. we wish you a will the best. i know you want to be a navy seal and god bless america. thank you. >> thank you. >> ainsley: you're welcome. what a great kid. all right, or young man. thank you so much for watching. we'll see you tomorrow. welcome back if you are heading back to work. stay safe with all that weather. >> bill: thank you, ainsley. baton down the
