tackle entitlements and defense they fail. that's not true. the dollar saved is one lesson they will take from you. maybe embarrassment will work where consensus hasn't. turning rhetoric into work in washington. >> bill: we'll watch it on the way. nice to see you on the way. thanks. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: it's called black monday. jackson is cutting loose doug peterson. at least five teams are in the market for a new head coach. now i understand what the woman next to me was talking about at the nail salon last night. all this stuff how it was like a bad day in football and everybody was getting fired. >> bill: it's what happens when your teams don't do well. >> dana: how are the bengals? >> bill: they let a few go, too.

black monday. >> dana: let's get you to this. president-elect trump set to step to the microphones going to speak from mar-a-lago in less than an hour from now. he may talk about a variety of issues. he is kicking his agenda into overdrive and just crossing the wires now his legal team asking new york state appeals court to dismiss the hush money case ahead of sentencing on friday. andy mccarthy was on with us talking about that. much more to come in this brand-new hour of "america's newsroom," welcome. i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. clock is getting slim right now in order to get an appeal that might be effective. maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. 72 hours and ticking. legacy forged in tragedy. house set to revote today on the laken riley act named after the murdered georgia nursing student. republicans looking to push it through with their new

republican trifecta in washington, d.c. >> mike collins brought the bill. this time around senator thune wants to move it this week. it is an important bill. so much violence against people committed by illegals. why should they still be here? laken riley is a clear and straight forward act. i think most of america supports it. we will pass it again out of the house tomorrow but you may see the senate pass it by the end of this week. >> bill: mike collins is a republican from georgia. he sponsored the bill and up in a moment here. first to the news and senior congressional correspondent chad pergram live on the hill. good morning as we start a new hour. hello. >> bill, good morning. this is the first legislative foray by house republicans in the new year and effort to make good on election promise to crack down on illegal immigration. the bill mandates detention for those picked up for theft and burglary if it passes the house, senate majority leader john

thune may tee up a test vote later this week. >> require the secretary of homeland security to take into custody aliens charged in the united states with theft and for other purposes. >> i now ask for a second reading. in order to place the bill on the calendar the provisions of rule 14. >> the bill must clear a senate filibuster, 60 votes in a high bar. montana democrat john tester sponsored the bill last year but lost in november. pennsylvania democrat john fetterman is now on board. the gop is encouraged. >> looking for to it being bipartisan. john tester saw the value and joined on. we welcome any democrat to join our efforts. we will starting tomorrow get this reintroduced and get it moving. >> 37 house democrats voted for

the bill last march. house republicans will dare democrats to oppose the bill on the floor. mike collins of georgia is the bill's main sponsor and he believes that laken riley would be alive if this policy were in place before she was killed. >> bill: 37 house members on the democratic side. how many democrats in the senate would vote for it? >> it's unclear here. again you talk about john tester being gone. you have fetterman being for it. they have to get past that 60-vote threshold. right now republicans only have 52 republicans. jim justice, senator elect from west virginia hasn't been sworn in yet. >> bill: got it. chad, thanks. it's about the math. >> always. >> dana: let's bring in republican mike collins of georgia. he sponsored the legislation. before we get into the how many votes do you have, what would you like people to know about this next attempt to try to do the right thing for laken riley?

>> i appreciate the opportunity to be on. i think it is so important that the american people need to understand this is good legislation. what it does -- right now local law enforcement can only contact ice if it's a major crime that has happened in their community with an illegal alien. this legislation just adds theft to that and if you want to bring that down to real reality, you just look at laken riley and what happened to her. a week before her murder, ibarra was picked up for shoplifting. if this act would have been law there is a good possibility. nearly 1 hundred% she would be alive today. so it is good legislation. if the democrats don't want to get on board and i tell people you need to contact them. if they vote no on this it states they are willing to let criminals roam our country free hand to keep their illegal trade going. >> bill: it appears it will pass in the house. i don't know if there is much

disagreement from you. the senate seems to be an open issue. but in the legislation, you allow attorneys general to sue the federal government if they show that their states are being harmed through immigration policies, which sounds really good on paper but you have this now. you've got blue cities and states that are against the immigration policies of the trump team will bring to washington. states like california, massachusetts, here in new york. cities like phoenix and boston and chicago. even if you get the laken riley act passed, how do you get around some states that may try and defy this? >> you know, that will be up to the states. i think the people of that state need to bring that to their attention. because that is the other part of this. a good piece of this legislation is the mere fact eye barra was pennsylvania rolled and hauled

around the country on taxpayer dollars. that's where these blue cities and these sanctuaries cities need to be answering for this. these people have come into our country with the intent to harm the american people. if we let them get by with petty theft and never do anything to them it emboldens them and get more dangerous to the point of what you saw. laken riley was in february of 2024. look at how many people since then have been murdered or raped in our country due to somebody being in this country illegally and come to find out there is a thug or gang or just a criminal that came across and was let out of another prison from another country. >> dana: listen to tom homan. the border czar under trump. >> i've been saying for four years their open border isn't mismanagement or incompetence. it is by design. they want that border to remain open until the last day they are in office. >> dana: it is interesting we're

getting the big states are saying they don't want to work with the federal government. what do you hear -- anything you have heard from a constituents that stuck with you that you could share to help us understand what the people of georgia feel? >> the laken riley murder was in my district. athens is in my district. i tell you what the family told me and i don't see how you ever get over this. they expressed -- when i told them we had a bill that would come to the floor and like to name laken riley after the bill, the bill after laken, they just said if there is anything that congress can do to ensure that another family doesn't have to go what we've gone through, please pass that bill and yes, we would be honored to put laken's name on it. you don't have to say much past that. the fact that these people are here, they shouldn't be here. they came here illegally and they are harming our people. we have the opportunity today to

change that. we can get this through the house. we can get it through the senate. we're seeing good movement over there. we have an excellent senator in katie britt, a bulldog. from alabama she is a bulldog and she is charging the way and she picked up fetterman and we have to opportunity to pick up more over there. i believe they can pass this on friday and by gosh i believe this could be sitting on president trump's desk when he sits down his very first day. >> bill: thank you for your time. good luck to you. republican from georgia, thanks. >> dana: president-elect trump took a jab at canada prime minister justin trudeau after announcing his resignation saying canada could become the 51st state. his approval rating has been going down for quite a while. fox business white house correspondent edward lawrence is here with more. hi, edward. >> countries have been posturing before president-elect donald trump moves into this building

here. me fact, his election may have helped with the resignation of prime minister justin trudeau in canada. certainly on truth social president-elect donald trump believes that's the case. he writes on truth social he says the united states can no longer suffer massive trade deficits and subsidies that canada needs to stay afloat. he adds that trudeau knew this and resigned. there was an internal debate in canada how to respond the threat of 25% tariffs on canadian goods and led to the resignation of the deputy prime minister. now the prime minister is resigning. >> canadians deserve a real choice in the next election and it has become obvious to me, with the internal battles that i cannot be the one to carry the liberal standard into the next election. >> at least one conservative premier believes the resignation shows a public shift mirroring what the united states is going through.

>> with the wokeism, with the extreme environmentalist many. the punitive approach from mining to the development of oil and gas, excessive carbon taxes, making life more unaffordable. spending like mad. seeing the increase of inflation. we have had parallel experiences over the last four years and quite clearly canadians had enough of it. >> china also making moves ahead of the trump administration adding more american companies to its control list and boeing defense and lockheed market. the president-elect saying he may have tariffs up to 60 percent from china. it got china to sit down and write a trade deal in his first adelphia ministration. >> bill: donald trump junior

posted this on x from greenland a moment ago. here is the video. >> looks like the runway santa claus would land at. >> i thought there was more. i thought there was more audio than that. the caption read greenland coming in hot. really cold actually. president-elect trump posting on truth social a moment ago saying the reception in greenland has been great. this is a deal that must happen. maga, make greenland great again. greenland's leaders have repeatedly said it is not for sale. they have a prime minister. he said the territory is not for sale and never be for sale. i don't know. >> dana: never know. somebody comes and knocks on your door and says i want to buy your house. we'll see. >> bill: art on the wall. what are you willing to pay?

>> dana: come over and ask me and i'll let you know. check this out. >> this is not the only event that we've seen happen in new orleans. i think we have to look at the problems there holistically and see what kind of dysfunction is occurring and then fix it. >> dana: new orleans attorney general ordering a wide ranging investigation into the security failures that led to the new orleans terror attack last week as the city prepares to host a super bowl and mardi gras in the coming months. >> bill: super bowl is on fox. tiktok, is it a chinese propaganda wing. how it hides anti-chinese content and how it might be affecting your kids if they are on the app themselves or even you. >> dana: trump set to speak at mar-a-lago in less than an hour. full coverage of what he says coming right up. one and done... with mucinex kickstart. aaaaaaaaaaaaa. - headache? - better now. mucinex kickstart gives all-in-one and done relief with a morning jolt of

>> bill: we have a couple big things waiting on right now. number one out of florida. that's donald trump's press conference. what you are looking at now is the house capitol. republicans will hold their first press conference on the year. we're watching that. what trump will say in florida is anybody's guess. we think we can talk about jack smith and encourage him not to release the report and in all likelihood with judge merchan's friday scheduling for the sentencing. he will put up a fight against that as well. whatever else he has to say about -- >> dana: i think he might mention biden trying to block energy production before he gets in there >> bill: big agenda on day one. the list is long. this press conference could be very long as well. we'll wait on all that. >> dana: also this. a new study shedding light on how tiktok allegedly manipulates

america's youth. the app down playing negative content related to the chinese communist party. to tell us more rich edson is live in washington. hi, rich. >> good morning, dana. the study comes at a pivotal time for tiktok fighting a federal law requiring the chinese parent company to sell the app for halt operations in the united states. the institute at rutgers university said they created tiktok accounts mime micking those related to teenagers and the issues like the deadly crackdown and rule in tibet and compared that experience to those on american-owned apps like instagram and youtube. >> certainly tiktok is serving up far less information, search results, critical of the ccp than other platforms. we find this substantial

association between time spent on tiktok and i would say unduly favorable views of china and the chinese communist party. >> it indicated tiktok users held more positive china's human rights record. they deny it dictates the american user experience. a spokesperson says this flawed experiment was engineered to reach a false, pre-determined conclusion creating fake accounts that interact with the app in a prescribed manner does not reflect real users' experience as the so-called study does not reflect facts for reality. friday the supreme court will hear oral arguments requiring bytedance to sell u.s. operations or shut them down by january 19th. president trump asked for a delay to fall into his administration. >> dana: maybe more questions on that as well coming up at 11:00

when he has this press conference. >> louisiana a.g. ordering a security investigation. the people in louisiana deserve answers and committed to getting a full and complete picture of what was done and not done and importantly what needs to change to prevent it from happening again. tyrus and emily, good morning to both of you. this used to be your home. >> yeah, i lived their 10 years. >> bill: senator kennedy said the locals were to blame. you know the area well. what do you think? >> this is nothing new to the people of louisiana. i think what -- i'm glad there is an investigation. we really don't need one. i think we need resignations and from the mayor and the police chief or superintendent based off just simply this. we had a plan, quote, but the terrorists defeated it is

probably the worst thing i've ever heard in the history of -- the lack of -- where is the money? $40 million to fix them. you had temporary. no training, no effort but yet you are cashing your checks but they left the people of new orleans hanging once again. our police department bless them for charging in but they are undermanned. the mayor cantrell was about defunding the police. they kept the money and this is what we keep seeing in new orleans. for some reason chicago and new york get the spotlight for all the problems. new orleans just seems to be left alone. and now the horrible of this will maybe open some eyes. the a.g. needs to do these investigations. we need to go backwards. we already know why. misappropriation of funds and having people in office that are not qualified and d.e.i. hires

is what is wrong. i had to leave because of all the problems there. it was not safe for my family anymore. it was a tough decision. >> dana: listen to this. lieutenant governor who was outraged when he heard the police superintendent said she didn't know they had temporary barriers. >> angry, since i got elected lieutenant governor we've been fighting with the administration to make the french quarter safer and it wasn't until jeff landry put a state police troop in the french quarter we saw great progress to save the french quarter before this incident. the lack of leadership from the top on down to know those barricades were taken out with new year's and the sugar bowl is unacceptable. >> dana: there are going to be -- terrorists might be right once in a while, right? you can harden the soft targets. >> the issue here isn't the

amount of resources, it is the appropriate stewardship of cismd there will be federal funds when the reality was all the state and local funds were absolutely squandered through corruption and failure in any type of decision making whatsoever. so now more federal funds are going in. what difference will it make if they are continued to be stewarded in that way? we learned the vehicle things were sitting in a warehouse not protected or erected and the broader picture as we all head down the pike of 2025 is we need to steward intelligence appropriately. sarah adams and intelligence group. former cia targeter has talked at length what to expect in 2025. two things to note. number one, the terrorist groups acting in concert with each other have great plans for the united states and europe and parts of the middle east and those come in the forms of surges and waves and large group activities and sports event, embassies, train stations and

the like and advancements in technology that include invisible suicide vests and certain weapons that make it through metal detectors. it means nothing to the american people if the southern and northern border are so porous they can get the machines and people through and we don't steward the resources right. the risk is great and this kind of stuff is not a one step myopic approach. a long term view and long term collection of these assets and this intelligence so that we do the right things with it. i have faith it will start happening after january 20th. >> bill: fair enough. this man was determined to kill people that night. >> you don't need to have a screen door. you need a locked door. >> bill: reminds me of katrina and go to the canalls, these dams weren't going to do

anything to keep the water out of the lake from coming into the city. this was 50-year-old technology. no chance. >> unfortunately this is what new orleans is known for. it used to be a place for music and fatty foods. that's delicious. now it is unsafe and its leadership is inept and arrogantly inept. >> dana: thank you both so much. have you back soon. fox corporation has made a donation to the love one louisiana foundation in support of those impacted by the terrorist attack in new orleans. you can help by donating at go.fox or scanning the qr code on the screen. >> bill: president trump is about to -- president-elect trump set to speak from mar-a-lago at the top of the hour. house republicans should be up any moment on the hill. we'll bring you those comments

brought my plus-one. jamie? >> dana: welcome back. 28 minutes before the top of the hour when president trump will have his press conference at mar-a-lago. tu tulsi gabbard is meeting with senator tubby tuberville of alabama preparing for a confirmation hearing getting underway next week. she will make the rounds before the hearing. >> bill: there is action. there is velocity as it picks up by the day. >> dana: that cameraman needs a steady cam. there we go, okay. all right . we'll get to this as well. president-elect trump set to speak at mar-a-lago a short time around. he is lashing out at his predecessor saying biden is doing everything possible to make the transition as difficult as possible from lawfare such as

never been seen before to costly and ridiculous executive orders on the green new scam and other money wasting hoaxes. bret baier we're awaiting the press conference. what do you think you'll hear today? >> bret: good morning. i think we will hear a lot of that rhetoric we saw on truth social. some of the things he said in recent days about his concern over oil drilling and access to off shore sites that were blocked now by president biden. i think there will be this effort to turn that around once president trump gets in office after the 20th. but there are some questions whether it has to be through not only executive order but maybe the courts and maybe congress as well. i think he is going to lay out what the vision is here as he gets closer and closer to the 20th. i said last week that my sense is from trump world that there is going to be this shock and

awe in the first few days. remember they've had four years, some of these folks have been working on what the blueprint would look like, executive der order wise and i think they've lined a lot of that up. what exactly that looks like we don't know for sure yet but i think there will be a number of signed executive orders that effect how the government works. >> bill: i have to think jack smith and judge merchan. you have a timeline here for this court action, 72 hours away. significant, too. he was on with huweish huweish >> it came across biden has banned drilling. it is ridiculous. i will unban it immediately. i have the right to unban it immediately. what is he doing? why is he doing it? >> bill: i don't know how much we can answer now.

how much can you undo or how much can biden lock in stone between now and the 20th of january? >> there are some legal experts looking at that by the way it was structured and how it is tied to a previous law and how president obama did something differently and not easy to undo. i think there are various ways. if congress acts as well or puts it in one of the reconciliation bills, it will be easier. but i'm sure president trump will do everything he can executive-order wise as he promised. there is this question about the final days of the biden administrations action and how they are counter to what voters voted about. president trump, former president trump before he was president-elect campaigned very vigorously on opening more avenues to energy. >> dana: interesting because in

addition to the story lines that we're following about president-elect trump getting ready to hit the ground running you have biden continuing to make decisions, some significant, also make comments that seem a little out of left field, indeed left indeed. the "washington post" wrote biden's legacy is a bridge to nowhere. like so many in his generation he vowed to empower new leadership and then refused to get out of the way and said this. after a lifetime of nobel service he will be chiefly remembered like so many in his generation as a man who didn't know when to leave. we saw last week an interview that biden did in which he still believes he shouldn't have dropped out and that he was the only one that could have beat trump. >> bret: that op-ed is stinging and in part it goes on to say biden was not elected for the new deal. he was not elected on that platform from the left and yet when he started those were the articles that he was the new fdr

and somehow that got from the left a big push and that's how he governed, at least at the beginning. he had some successes on legislatively clearly and the op-ed goes into that. his biggest thing was whether to run again and clearly that june 27th debate showed that he shouldn't have. >> bill: interesting to hear chuck schumer on sunday we didn't talk face-to-face to people about the things that concern them. it is really remarkable revision as we look back. >> bret: shocking. >> bill: wow. bret, we'll talk to you at the top of the hour when the press conference gets underway. let's roll this, shall we? >> i am spider-man and i've really messed up. wait. >> you are being serious now? you are 1 hundred% serious? >> i'm not joking. >> i was only 67% sure.

>> he shoots web out of his fingers and wears a rock on hers. ac actors -- the two met on the set of the box office hit spiderman homecoming in 2017 when the actress appeared sunday night a massive diamond, engagement speculation took off. sources close to the family say it's true. if tmz reports it, it must be. >> dana: i wish them the best. that's fun. that's a nice little story. >> bill: absolutely. >> dana: speaker mike johnson is at the press conference, the first that the republicans are hosting this year. let's go to it. >> our members are ready to get to work. we have to fix everything. it begins today. on friday we passed our rules

package as you all know that included 12 policy measures that prove to the people that house republicans are serious about this delivering on our promises. you will see instant measures right out of the gates here to secure the border, unleash american energy, protect american elections and return to common sense which will be a primary theme of the new year for all of us. on saturday and sunday we took all the house republicans for workshops and lengthy retreats. we spent all day both of those days meeting and having important discussions about our policy agenda and what will happen over the next several months. you all heard me say over the last year we were developing using my football metaphors, developing a playbook and we have and very well-designed plays and now we're working out the sequence working with the new head coach, president trump. and our colleagues and teammates in the senate. the senate republicans. and we're excited about how all of that is rolling out. we trudged through the snow

yesterday to certify the election and that went off without a hitch. 38 minutes to certify the new president. that might be a record, i'm not sure. it went off well. president trump won the popular vote and he won all seven swing states which we stood to applaud during that important procedure. the america first agenda will be on full display. that was the mandate we got in the election with the president receiving 77 million popular votes. house republicans receiving almost 75 million. i think that's a record. we won the popular vote as well and we know that message has been heard here loud and clear. as promised we're starting today with border security. if you polled the populous and voters they have would tell you that was the top of the list. we have a lot to do there to fix it. it is a disaster because of what has happened over the last four years and the laken riley act is a big part of that. you know her story last february a 22-year-old student, reminds many of us of our own children

out for a jog, a vicious killer tragically murders her and that killer entered the country illegally with joe biden's open daughter and took her life. the only thing president biden did after her death was apologized for calling her murderer an illegal. it's outrageous. we know the real victim is young laken. there are consequences to policy decisions. this one was deadly. it was reminiscent of the tragic story that addison shared about his little brother. we all feel that acutely. a story repeated across the country to so many countless american families and it must come to an end and it will. we'll begin with legislation like the laken riley act today. when we brought this bill forward last congress it amazingly to me, 170 how democrats voted against that legislation. we are going to detain and

deport illegal aliens who commit burglary, theft, larceny, shoplifting, vicious and violent crimes. >> dana: you are listening to mike johnson. the first press conference that the house republicans are holding. they are taking care of business and giving a roadmap to their agenda as we get ready in 16 minutes for president trump to start his press conference at mar-a-lago. >> bill: a man in washington there riding high, right? just by the hair of his chin. you have one vote to spare you make it and become speaker of the house. good week. >> dana: president-elect trump is speaking soon at mar-a-lago. we'll bring it to you as soon as it happens. be right back.

>> we're eliminating the third party fact checking system. well intentioned at the start. we're scrapping it entirely. too much bias. >> dana: meta getting with the times and throwing out the rule book on censorship. new administration and advancing competition forcing them to look in the mirror. grady trimble live from washington with details on this big story today, grady. >> these are major changes, dana, that meta says will make facebook, instagram and threads

where free speech thrives. meta is ending its censorship program and a notes program like on x now. lifting restrictions on certain topics like immigration, gender identity, trans issues and increasing political content for users who want to see it. also moving its content moderation and safety team from california to texas to avoid political bias. and in doing all this it is acknowledging too much harmless content has been censored using automated systems so it won't use those systems to monitor for all policy violations anymore. only to scan for illegal and what it considers to be high severity violations like terrorism, child sexual exploitation and scams. mark zuckerberg announced the changes in a video posted to instagram this morning and in his first and only tv interview since taking the job, meta 's

new head of global affairs blamed president biden and his administration trying to control content. >> when you have a u.s. president administration pushing for censorship it makes it open season for other governments around the world that don't have the protections of the first amendment to really put pressure on u.s. companies. we'll work with president trump to push back on that kind of thing around the world. >> to that end our colleague brook at fox news digital spoke to the president-elect today saying that meta 's presentation was excellent and that they have come a long way and have his stamp of approval. >> bill: reaction from clay travis. you testified before congress on this a couple years ago. three things struck me this morning. they have admitted community notes on x works. they came out with it and said it is working there and we'll do it where we are, too. two, kaplan said there the are changes on instagram for kids age 16 and under.

limits and controls put on there. i watched the zuckerberg video. at the end he says we're going to work with president trump. you think about where that company was at the end of october in 2020 after that election, go ahead, clay. >> bill, i spoke in march i believe it was of 2021 and i jotted this down because i read my own testimony. at that point, bill, facebook, twitter, spotify, instagram, shop file and others had all banned donald trump from being able to be on their platform. now he is about to take the oath of office in is 13 days. a seismic change. as someone who ran outkick.com that we sold to fox in 2021, every time that we got one of these dings from the so-called fact checkers were just opinion checkers, not actually checking for facts, our traffic collapsed. it had major impact on our

ability to run a company not just us, all different sorts of companies and media had the same results. and what happened was the fact checkers were wrong on so much and they didn't allow real debate to take place. here is one example. where did covid come from? do you remember when you weren't even allowed to suggest that it came from a chinese lab? the cure for speech you don't like and this is effectively what mark zuckerberg is saying is more speech. that's the whole concept of the marketplace of ideas. i think you have to give credit to elon musk when he bought twitter he changed everything. zuckerberg was wrong for years and he is right now. i don't think it's coincidental elections have consequences. if kamala won i don't know they did this. but since trump won this is huge. >> bill: we'll get you on very soon. got a lot of breaking news. thanks to get your perspective on that today. >> thank you for making the time. >> dana: president-elect trump is about to hold a news

>> harris: we're awaiting a news conference. president-elect donald trump is about to talk to reporters at mar-a-lago, his home in florida. america is watching. a swift transition of power now. confirmation hearings for key cabinet picks by trump begin one week from today and i'm told the president-elect has secured a very large new foreign investment into the u.s. economy. no doubt there will be questions from the press about outgoing president biden's dangerous move to transfer out a dozen prisoners from gitmo. why now? the trump news conference is live at the top of the hour.

>> bill: thank you. waiting on that. take you down to mar-a-lago where the president-elect will come out in a moment here. there is a bevy of things that we will likely hear about. two of them start in the legal justice system of the u.s. jack smith, the special prosecutor who compiled reports want to make them public. trump says not going to happen. in addition, you've got a sentencing on friday of this week in new york for that 34 felony counts that was tried by judge merchan. the judge has not backed away from it. trump says you can't do it. but right now it looks like that will proceed. so in all likelihood if it does and you get felony listed attached to your name, you go into the white house as the first president to have that. trump doesn't want it. wants to stay far away from it. if it does happen you will have an appeals process that goes on for some time during his term in the white house. >> dana: the other thing that

could come up >> bill: an thrown out and retracted. >> dana: we know that his nominees are continuing their visits on capitol hill. the hearings start next week. after the terror attack in new orleans he will reiterate what mike waltz said. we need our team in place immediately. it is too important. i think he will take questions or make sure to comment on immigration and the economy. the two issues that helped get him elected. people will want to see some results on that. >> bill: it could go for an hour or longer. stay tuned. >> dana: i did my podcast last night. things to watch in the next four weeks but we broke it down between trump and the republicans and also biden and what he is doing and i'm sure president trump will talk about that as well. a big hour ahead and "the faulkner focus" is next. >> harris: fox news alert now. at any moment president-elect donald trump will speak for th
