and inauguration ever before. d.c. prepares, busy week of confirmation hearings wrap up with da pick kristi noem taking the stand this morning. >> todd: joe biden sits for final interview with more warnings for americans about the future of democracy. >> i'm concerned about how fragile democracy is. that sounds corny, i really am concerned. >> carley: make hollywood great again? trump is ready to flip tinsel town on hits head. which a-listers he's picked for the job. you are watching "fox and friends first," i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: happy friday, i'm todd piro. we start with madeleine rivera with the latest on trump's upcoming inauguration. maddy.

ma >> madeleine: good morning. corporations are pouring into the inaugural committee, trump allies are expected to rake in $250 million. donors include biggest name in tech, auto and banking industry, apple, google, ford and uber donated 1 million each. amazon and robinhood donated 2 million each. they are solidly pro-trump. some say it is buying influence in the trump administration. also attending is chinese president xi expect representative. he's coming as trump threatening stiff tariffs on china. doug burgum and scott bessent appeared before their rippive committees on thursday. >> president trump energy

dominant can be america's big stick. leverage for prosperity and world peace. >> i believe wall street has done great past few years and main street has suffered. it is main street's time. wall street can continue to do well, maybe not as well. it is time to have a main straight small business led recovery led by small banks, regional banks. >> madeleine: this morning homeland security nominee kristi noem head to capitol hill. plans are liking to take center stage. kristi noem will say securing h homeland is a trust that must be pursue the and never taken for granted. being safe is an american right yet americans feel less safe than they have in decades, president trump will change that. she will appear before the

committee 9:00 a.m. eastern time. >> todd: we can expect that to be one of the most fiery this week. we will see. >> carley: starting fiery and ending fiery. >> todd: joe biden giving final interview as president repeating warning for the future of democracy. >> what i'm worried about is that the thing that keeps it on track are guardrails, there is supreme court that is independent, but accountable. there is a congress that you speak your mind but you are held accountable to basic standards. there is presidency that says you have limited powers. we seem to be chipping away at those elements. >> carley: jeff van drew joins us with his reaction. this is different. usually you get a final message from an outgoing president talking about hope for the

future and discusses accomplishments. joe biden yesterday said he is afraid for our country and future of our democracy. do you share similar concerns? >> of course not. it is kind of telling. this is his last important speak where he should leave that message of hope, of unity, of americanism, of american exceptionalism and extraordinary nature of this country and how we must come together for that future and instead he speaks about almost a political speech. at least couched in politics and now he's concerned. majority of americans and popular vote and electoral vote were concerned about the future of america he was taking us to. we were concerned where he was going, concerned about decisions being made. honest to god, when you're a member of congress, you talk to real, regular people on main

street, they were afraid for our country. when the president won, i mean the president-elect, our new president, when president trump won, so many people come up to me with tears in their eyes that there is hope and faith in this great nation once again. >> todd: and democrats and republicans, wasn't just republicans who expressed similar sentiments. kristi noem heading to capitol hill for confirmation hearing to be trump's dhs secretary, following another pretty solid day from trump nominee bessent and doug burgum yesterday. what stood out from yesterday? >> just these are solid people with graph grafvitas, people who were have united states of america in their mind, we'll not worry about political issues or making america stronger and

better. if you speak about who will be new secretary of interior doug burgum, he spoke about importance of energy. let me tell you, we are driven by energy and rather than depend on other countries for energy needs, we should be producing energy, exporting energy, america leads, america is the shining light, america is where everybody follows us and i'm not afraid to say that. throughout all the cabinet picks, you see that philosophy and belief. we have to make sure secretary of interior and work they will do that we're not putting america second, we're not worried about other countries more so we can have a good environment and keep the beauty and awe of america and at the same time, be number one in energy around the world and that philosophy flowed through all these cabinet picks when they were interviewed. yes, they are going to do their job and do it well.

always within the thought of america first. there is nothing wrong with those words. making america great again, nothing wrong with those words only folks who are perverse make those words bad. >> carley: you represent southern new jersey, beach towns, you were tasked with writing an executive order to halt windturbines for six months. doug burgum could review the use of them and do a cost benefit analysis and the topic of offshore wind came up during his confirmation hearing yesterday with angus king, who happens to be pro-wind. listen to this. >> i hope one of the projects you might undertake when and if you are confirmed is to convince your boss that wind power is not all bad. we have to have right balance and maybe have tipped too far in

one direction, i think that is key piece for us. >> carley: one more thing, donald trump posted on truth social on wednesday, wind mills are an economic and environmental disaster, i don't want one bill during my administration. why do you and president-elect feel so strongly about this issue? >> you know, i've lived and breathed this. years ago i was a voice in the wilderness, but president trump and i have spoke about this and he is right on point what he says. let me be clear, wind turbines in the ocean are bad for the environment and fishing industry and bad for national security. people sometimes picture wind mills and small wind turobbines these are hundreds of feet tall, they will litter our office,

they use lubricants to keep them spinning. 15 to 20 years, they are out of service. the cost of wind energy for consumer, for the repair is going to be double, triple, we don't even know. those companies which by and large of foreign companies will tell you your utility bills will go up but it is worth a lot. europe and france have moved away from this. some renewables are good, so many routes to go. in the ocean off the east coast, it is not a good idea. the president said to me, draft one, it does not mean they will use that exact one, it was a good start. i communicated with the team for interior and we'll move forward with this. we have to save our oceanings and our economy. >> todd: this will be a huge issue, pay attention, mark my

word. congressman, thank you, sir. >> carley: happy friday. >> todd: fox news alert. president biden will not enforce looming tiktok ban he signed into law last year leaving the app's fate in the hands of president trump. tiktok is set to go dark in the u.s. by this sunday. trump team is weighing options to save the app on monday. company ceo expected to attend a party on sewn and inauguration on monday. israeli security cabinet meeting now to discuss a new ceasefire and hostage release deal. prime minister netanyahu accused hamas ongoing back on parts of the agreement. if they move forward, hostages

will begin to be released this sunday. dozens are being held in gaza, including sagui dekel-chen. they will be exchanged for palestinian prisoners held in israel. trump's team was in the loop as the deal was coming to a close. >> i spent two hours with them to change nature of trans fer so it would be done peacefully. what we did, we brought in going to be his national security people, we brought them in to tell them what was happening as we hand this off. >> carley: new york city mayor eric adams meeting with president trump in mar-a-lago after months calling out president biden immigration policy. mayor's office says collaboration is key to the city's success. challengers are questioning if it is about the mayor securing a

pardon for himself. eric adams accuses doj of targeting him for criticizing biden. he has met with tom homan last month. breaking this morning, president biden announced 2000 new co commutations, new details coming up next. >> todd: and democrats in chicago just block a proposal for members of their own party to work with ice agents to apprehend criminal migrants in that city. one democrat fighting to roll back sanctuary laws will tell us why he is hopeful trump administration will be the one to help them. ...and my ulcerative colitis symptoms... ...kept me... ...out of the picture. now... ...there's skyrizi. ♪i've got places to go...♪ ♪...and i'm feeling free♪ ♪control of my symptoms means everything...♪ ♪...to me♪ ♪control is everything to me♪

>> todd: president biden giving a parting give to those convicted of nonviolent drug offenses before he leaves the white house. >> carley: chanley painter is here. >> chanley: president bidens this is correcting disparity after commuting sentence of 2500 people convicted of nonviolent drug offenses compared to sentences they would receive today under current law.

he said i have issued more commutations in u.s. history, i'm proud of my record and will review additional pardons. this coming after the president commuted sentence of 1500 prisoners and pardoned 40 others, including his son. democratic lawmakers pushed to keep him going. >> mass incarceration has created huge prison industrial complex in which private prison companies reap billions in profits. president biden, you have governed with compassion and been thoughtful on this issue and many others. today is reminder that your job is not done. we need action, we need compassion, we need clemency and

time to act is now. >> chanley: this announcement after biden commuted sentences of nearly all on death row including five child killers and several mass murderers. that announcement two days before christmas rubbing salt in the wounds of grieving families. >> carley: fbi shut down dei office, president trump wants to look at what they were working on, saying we demand fbi preserve all documents and information on closing dei office, never should have been opened. if it was, should have closed long ago. the agency says the office closed last month, did not say why. >> todd: donald trump ready to go full steam ahead on immigration issue with or without congress' help. stephen millir was on the hill urging slashing of funds for sanctuary city.

one city is chicago. they rejected proposal from two democrats that would have allowed ice to work with city police to remove migrants with criminal charges. raymond lopez is one who matt gaetz that proposal and joins me now. alderman, what does it say about your fellow democrats on city council they shot this down and over whelmingly shot this down? >> 39 out of 50 members of city council said no to working with incoming administration, no to working with ice when we arrest individuals who may be arrested or convicted of drugs or gang issues, but people who are human trafficking and involved in prostitution and sex crimes against minors. it is embarrassing and outrageous this is where the democratic party has gone tow to protect criminals. we have seen time and time again in chicago. this is a whole new low, especially as we see congress

with democratic senators voting toward the middle and semblance of common sense on this matter. >> todd: chicago seems like an out liar on this, their sanctuary policies will remain in place. police cannot cooperate with ice if arrestees have criminal warrants and cannot support federal enforcement application. this invites criminal migrants to use chicago as a base of operation all to the detriment of hard-working men and emwa trying to get by in the windy city. >> we know this will encourage individuals who know they can prey on sympathy in the city of chicago. i understand there are people we can choose how we address them once they get here. city of chicago is saying no

matter how you got here, we will not turn you in, you can kill someone and we will not let the feds know, that does not send the right message. we heard time and time again, they want to focus on criminals. we want to focus on criminals. there is commonality there. there is capture if we continue to tell trump we'll find them ourselves. if we can help, we should help. >> todd: money talks, if stephuman miller and incoming administration withhold funds, will that change the city council's mind then? >> they want to fight, they need a boogie man and they are content to let trump be that for them. at expense of chicagoans and our city. if you put at risk billions in

support from the federal government for protecting 100 criminals, you might reconsider that logic. logic does not apply to those that espouse this. >> todd: people that you have isser in the end are middle and working class people who make chicago run temperature is unfortunate what is upon haing at behest of their own city council. have a great weekend. thank you for shedding light on this topic. fox news alert. california bracing for strongest winds since l.a. wildfires broke out. this could pose new challenges for firefighters and some residents. >> carley: fires scorched 40,000 acres and destroyed 12,000 homes and businesses. 27 people have been killed in the fires. senior meteorologist janice dean is here with the fox weather

forecast. here we go again. >> janice: firefighters have a chance to get a handle on wildfire this weekend, we have onshore winds, humidity is up and winds will die down. however, forecast is looking at potential for another santa ana wind event next week. one scenario, a very strong event for southern california as we have high pressure anchored in that typical spot where we see clockwise winds going through canyons and valleys. the other scenario is that high pressure is more toward the east, central u.s. and that will mean a weaker event, so hopefully that is what is going to happen, we need to watch weather pattern in next 24 to 48 hours. fire conditions expected next week, single digit humidity and uncertainty at how strong this

area of high pressure is going to be and where it is going to be positioned. we're into a cold arctic air outbreak early next week and that is going to set the stage for snow and ice and nasty weather for the south and then the northeast getting a coastal low we'll have to watch. certainly mixed precipitation, rain, sleet, freezing rain, snow for the south and we watch this area of low pressure looks like we potentially could see measurable snow, new york, boston, washington, d.c., right ahead of inauguration, which is going to be one of the coldest on record. >> todd: get ready, >> carley: he has not texted me yet. >> todd: he's awear. president-elect trump wants to meg -- that does not roll off

the tongue again, make hollywood great again, he named new ambassadors. >> carley: like maha, make america healthy again. joe concha will react to the star star-studded plan coming up next.

rinvoq is a once-daily pill that can rapidly relieve joint pain, stiffness, and swelling as fast as 2 weeks for some. and even at the 3-year mark, many people felt this relief. rinvoq can stop joint damage. and in psa, can leave skin clear or almost clear. rinvoq can lower ability to fight infections. before treatment, test for tb and do bloodwork. serious infections, blood clots, some fatal; ...cancers, including lymphoma and skin; serious allergic reactions; gi tears; death; heart attack; and stroke occurred. cv event risk increases in age 50 plus with a heart disease risk factor. tell your doctor if you've had these events, infection, hep b or c, smoked, are pregnant or planning. don't take if allergic or have an infection. done settling? ask your rheumatologist for rinvoq. and take back what's yours. (♪) >> carley: president biden took time to address the changing media landscape. >> if the decisions made that

the multi billionaires, the super, super wealthy, wealthsiest people in the world begin to control apparatuses from media to the economy, and who do i get to fight back for me? >> todd: fox news contributor joe concha is literally paid to watch interviews just like that. joe joins us now. isn't he complaining about the billionaire media class that was in the tank for him for years and years all up until he debated donald trump in june? >> joe: wow, todd, i lost because the media was dead set against me on my bingo card this morning. there it is. yeah, look, he talks about concentration of power, soon to be ex-president joe biden said

this on msnbc. network that will not allow one pro-trump voice on its air. remember ronna mcdonald? the inmates ran her out of town. this is baghdad bob of news networks. it is abc, nbc, cbs, pbr, "washington post," new york times, pretty sure it is not on the right. joe biden's handlers would not allow him to hold a solo presidential power end ing conference as is tradition. his handlers shield him to the end even though country and world knows his brain has turned to applesauce. this is why he's leaving office as most unpopular president since richard nixon who had to

resign. donald trump's inauguration cannot come quickly enough. >> carley: his party message, he is worried about super wealthy people that have samide logical perspective and want to control what we say. we literally have that, if you remember covid-19 and jen psaki admitting they were tagging posts on facebook and telling them to take that down, joe biden is ring leader of that, dead center in it. that is in the past, let's look toward the future. interesting idea president-elect trump announced yesterday. he named mel gibson, jon voight and sylvester stallone as special enavoids to hollywood.

it is true, a lot of studios go to britain, hungary, off the rail and because those studios offer tax incentives, this is part of plan using hollywood a-listers to do it. >> joe: put america first, that includes hollywood. it did lose its way some time ago. mystique and aura of being something special is long gone. we know this because animated film, "inside out 2" not sure you saw with brock, i saw it with my kids, that was number one movie of 2024, like going away in terms of box office growth. celebrities came out in droves for kamala harris and it did not move the lecture, ben stiller and jennifer lopez had zero impact. this is a shot at that, as well. hollywood needs to do business

in the u.s. instead of outsourcing it like other countries have. donald trump recognizes this, symbolic move and it sends a message. let's make movies in america again as pertains to silver screen. >> todd: double back on something we did in the tease, make hollywood great again. carley forgot the g. >> carley: make america healthy again, make hollywood great again. >> todd: daddy's home in the white house, one of mel gibson most underrated films "daddy's home 2," watch it next christmas. happy weekend to you and thank you for your insight on magh, appreciate it. >> joe: we can't have braveheart 2. >> todd: prequell, it could

happen. thank you. kristi noem heads to capitol hill for senate confirmation hearing to become dhs secretary and she's getting a huge wave of support from america's biggest firefighter unions. >> carley: more on that coming up next.

dave's been very excited about saving big with the comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. five years? -five years. and he's not alone. -high five. it's five years of reliable gig speed internet. five years of advanced securit. five years of a great rate that won't change. it's back. but only for a limited time. high five. five years? -nope. comcast business 5-year price lock guarantee. powering five years of savings. powering possibilities. comcast business.

>> carley: secretary of state blinken final -- reporter was forcibly moved for causing a disruption. >> you are hurting me. you are hurting me. you are hurting me. [screaming] respect the process, criminal. >> carley: two reporters were removed as blinken announced israel-hamas ceasefire. not something you see everyday. president trump treasury secretaries they could spur the golden age for america. >> todd: that sounds good. cheryl casone has details. >> cheryl: we didn't have those fireworks in scott bessent's hearings, i'm glad, i want it to be most boring because treasury is important to many things in our nation and scott bessent laid out what he will do as treasury secretary.

that golden age. here is what that meant, he said create jobs and prosperity for all americans. two main things tariffs and taxes. listen to his message of optimism. >> today i believe that president trump has a generational opportunity to unleash a new economic golden age that will create more jobs, wealth and prosperity for all americans, perm nancy and forward guidance give people srnlt, capital investment, hiring, real wages, employers want to keep, train and expand the workforce. everyone wins. >> cheryl: he talked about what matters to the average american. with extension of tax cuts,

which is on congress' shoulder, he said if tax cuts are not extended it will be devastating for small businesses. >> todd: he made the point, small business pulling in 400,000, they are not making tons of money, if you let tax cuts expire, that small business is probably going away. >> cheryl: he talked about tariffs with regard to china, something we talked about yesterday. he said, you can take tariffs and up tariffs on china, that would force chinese to lower taxes, they don't want to lose m market share. there is talk it would cause inflation if tariffs are put on and he debunked that and said feds should stay independent and i'm a fan of that. he owns a farm in north dakota.

he will have to divest, this is not a financial windfall for him, he is sacrificing to make this position. it come with a lot of pressure, it is 24/7. he said fiscal cal spending is out of control. this nation, we don't have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem. not a fan of digital currency, he talked about that and said we need to be tougher on russia. >> todd: cabinet nominees don't need these jobs, they are taking it on for sake of the country and that is laudable to see. don't miss cheryl with mornings with maria. >> carley: and kristi noem as dhs secretary. edward kelly is president of the international association of firefighters and joins me now. good morning, it is great to see

you. this will play out in a few hours. you can guess democrats will say she is governor of a small state and does not have experience to lead a government agency of this size. you thought a lot about this in public safety given job you do. why do you think she is right person to lead dhs? >> never been more important given fires out in l.a. that federal government look at how we respond to emergencies in this country. i've spoken with president trump on need to take a good look at that, i've spoken with governor kristi noem about it. she has a long, storied track record. in the house, she was a supporter of firefighter issues, something we take seriously. we know she might be from a strong state, she is ad administrator, she knows how to run a big bureaucracy and she is familiar with issues we deal

with. any they are very important, she supported innic taking on some of the challenges we have as firefighters, firefighter cancer registry, cancer is number one killer of firefighters. we're confident kristi noem will be rights person to lead dhs and look forward to work with her. >> carley: good to have your insight on day like today when california wildfires are raging. it is still too early to get the full picture of what went wrong, we're getting pieces of it, including low levels of water in fire hydrants, broken fire trucks and cuts to the firedepartment, is any of that acceptable? >> absolutely not, what l.a.'s stories with awful fires and god bless those that lost lives and homes, it is a lesson for all city mayors.

when you cut the fire department, people die. in the city of l.a., they cut 10 engine companies, seven ladder companies, 342 full-time positions back in 2010. they didn't hire for six straight years. they have never been able to recover from that. coupled with the fact this fire, we know that the reservoir up in the palisades had no water in it for two years, two plus years, certainly that would have made a massive difference if we have water up in the palisades. still would have been devastating fire, 100 mile per hour winds no matter where you are from coast to coast. california has a long history of awful wild land fires that come into neighborhoods and destroy hundreds and in this case thousands of homes. we've had major wildfires in

manhattan last few months, it is not just west coast issue. when you cut fire department budgets, it puts fire fighters lives at risk and puts people's lives at risk. makes it more difficult to fulfill our oath. >> carley: i want to get this in and ask you about monday, you'll attend donald trump inauguration swearing in ceremony, why did you decide to go? >> it is very exciting. it is a great time in this country, we're very hopeful with new administration coming in that we're going to usher in a sense of unity and pride in this country and i'm excited to see what president trump can do second term. >> carley: it will be cold, wear cozy mittens. >> i'm a boston kid. >> i can tell in your great accent. have a great day.

steve doocy will look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." >> todd: he goes by name of cozy mittens, fun fact about the doos. >> have you been reading the blogs? good morning to you, big friday telecast starting in nine minutes and 37 seconds. joe biden gave his final interview as president and evera years of inflation under his leadership, you won't believe his comments and slamming republicans on how they are handling economy of red states. dana perino on that interview and media's glowing review of it. plus, after yesterday a holdup israel set to sign off on their ceasefire deal with hamas sometime today. general jack keane reporting for duty on details of this and latest developments. not just companies knicksing companies, newly sworn in

governor mike braun, why one of his first moves was to ditch dei, that is coming up. remember this viral campaign moment? the man who made it happen join us live ahead of inaugural parade debut. that is coming up. busy three hours, in the meantime, todd and carley back in a couple. you are watching the fox news channel. i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. but thanks to skyrizi and clearer skin--i'm all in. with skyrizi, i saw dramatically clearer skin.

and many even achieved 100% clear skin. 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. with skyrizi, nothing on my skin means everything. ask your dermatologist about skyrizi today. some people just know they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking allstate first. okay, let's get going. can everybody see that? like you know to check your desktop first, before sharing your screen? ahh..uhhh. no, that, uhhh. so check allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds.

>> todd: iowa man taking part in inaugural parade this monday and he will be driving that patriotic tractor to show his support for president-elect trump. >> carley: patriotic tractor indeed. jerry loeffler with the owner of that tractor and he joins us now. good morning to you. we would love to hear this story ahead of this inaugural parade. tell us how this patriotic trump tractor came about. >> well, it's a really unique story. i was driving back from colorado. i had my grandpa's tractor in tow and this tractor back home. i thought i'm going to redo grandpa's tractor to its original. what am i going to do with this other tractor. maybe i will just put an american flag on it. next thing i know i was with sue hopper out of lock ridge, iowa. and she has painted literally thousand ends satisfy motorcycles and took this tractor and made a at tapestryt of it and did a beautiful job.

>> todd: what was your reaction when you got the call to be in the inaugural parade. >> number one completely ecstatic. and i always tell people i says when i got the call that we're going to be in the parade i jumped so high. we had to call the people to fix the sheetrock on the ceiling. >> carley: that's funny. this tractor keeps you busy. you have been in a lot of parades and events. who has written -- written on it that we might know of? >> oh, well, a lot of people kayleigh mcenany, fares faulkner, matt whitaker, vivek ramaswamy actually drove the tractor when he was here during caucuses. don jr., eric trump. pretty much any time i turn on the news, fox news especially, i see someone that's been on the tractor. >> carley: i'm feeling left out. we got to get on that tractor. >> you got to come to iowa. caucus time. >> todd: let's be real.

it's more than a salute to trump a salute to brave servicemen and women including your family, your son is, in fact, a current u.s. army major. what's the reaction when people see this tractor? >> well, our son, ryan, is he a major in the combat engineer in the army. and you know, any time like we go to the remembrance front. we go to the final salute, we do the peace officer memorial here in des moines and underneath the hood of the tractor here are the 14 names of our family members that have served in the united states military. so. >> carley: that's awesome. >> we are so honored to have that family history and to see and then any time you see someone in uniform i always say -- i always stop and say thank you for your service. >> carley: thank you and your family for your service as well. we got to ask you, gary, what was your reaction on election night when donald trump won by a landslide and what are some of the things you hope he accomplishes over the next four

years? >> well, actually i'm a general contractor and when i went to one of the supply stores, i went back to where all the guys where you order your materials. the guys were all lined up behind the counter singing happy days are here again. the people that are like your farmers, your construction people, everyone is truly excited to see president trump back in office. and this is going to be a great time in american history. >> todd: today is friday, the parade is monday. better get that tractor on the move there, gary, because you need to head on out. >> i got a little surprise here for you. since we're coming to washington, d.c., i brought my swamp boots. >> todd: there you go. gary loeffler. >> we got the swamp boots ready and thank you so much for having us. >> todd: enjoy your trip. special 4:00 a.m. start on monday.
