joey: and that is the united states capitol. that's the building that symbolizes freedom and democracy and a constitutional republic and all those great things. it's also where a lot of people are going to be celebrating, it's also where rachel campos-duffy is just right down the street. your not too far, are you -- you're not too far are you? rachel: new york i'm right down the street. when i hear that song, i think about my mom, believe it or not. it's her favorite rolling stones song. charlie: really? the. [laughter] rachel: start me up, it's a really great message for america, right, charlie? charlie: absolutely. although i do love you can't always get what you want, which is maybe the greatest political an hem of all time because, you know, you can't always get what you want. rachel: it's true. but maybe this should be the replacement. start me up, america.

i feel like we're ready to to go. charlie: from your mouth to to trump's ears. joey: the village people are going to be there. i think that's still a good theme song for him. i like that one. rachel: the village people are going to be at the turning point rally concern ball, which i believe is tonight or tomorrow night, can't remember are. i think it's tomorrow night. joey: are you going to have to switch ball gowns? rachel: no. i'm not that much of a diva, joey. [laughter] one night, one yes, sir. [laughter] but it's been exciting. i've bought dresses i never thought i would wear before, so it's kind of fun, and that's been, you know, the girly side of it has been kind of fun for me as well. joey: we look forward to pictures. rachel: it's been a fantastic time here in d.c. everybody's gearing up. i don't think the weather is tamp thing down people's moods. -- tamp thing down people's moods. people are gearing up for a great weekend and a great start

to the trump administration. i as my edged, we're just two -- mentioned, we're just two days away. the ceremony is moving indoors for the first time in decades, i believe since the reagan days. joey: yeah, 40 years. david spunt if joins us live outside the capitol, and he's going to give us all the quay -- details. >> reporter: hey, good morning. the security posture is still up as if the inauguration was going to be outside, but i'm told that fencing will change and barriers will change here over the next 24 the hours to accommodate inside. as rachel mentioned, the last inauguration inside, january, 1985, with president ronald area began on his second swearing in. watch -- ronald reagan. >> i solemnly swear -- >> that i will faithfully execute. >> that i will faithfully execute -- >> the office of president of the united states. >> -- the office of president of the united states. >> reporter: crews have been putting up fencing around the i

city for the past week to prepare for the inauguration. the tall black fences are made up of those anti-climb fences, several layers. these fences were around before and long after the inauguration a back in 2032 the 1 -- 2021. signs like we're seeing all over the national mall to warn people to keep out. the fbi, secret service, d.c. police on hand over the the inauguration. so today the vice president-elect, j.d. vance, is going to be attending a cabinet dinner with the future trump cabinet if for term two, fireworks show at the trump golf club in sterling, virginia, about 25 minutes away if here. tomorrow there will be a wreath-laying ceremony at arlington national cemetery to honor those that have fallen and passed away of after service. a maga victory rally at the capital one arena. and then on monday everything kicks off with a church service and the trumps will meet the bidens for traditional tea at the white house.

now, the inauguration moving inside, things are changing. the parade now will be inside capital one arena. people will be able to view some of those inauguration vents merchandise capital one arena. concern inside capital one arena but trying to keep things as normal and traditional as possible for the thousands when made plans many months ago to come to washington d.c. charlie are, rachel, joey? charlie: so, david, obviously, you just mentioned the thousands of people who made plans a while ago to come and won't be able to the view the inauguration firsthand. they'll be outside. they can still, i assume, fill the parade route which goes all the way down pennsylvania avenue from the capitol to the white house. will there be, like, jumbotrons set up so that they can watch from the mall, the the ceremony inside the row ton a da? -- row dun -- rotunda? >> reporter: so what we're

hearing, and i actually want to read this to you, is that it appears they will be able to, there will be automobile to be people outside. the jumbotron part is not clear. we know there will be some sort of element relating to capital one arena. we know there's a rally there tomorrow, but as far as what people can do there, that's not 100% clear yet. believe it or not, even though we're a couple days away, a lot of this stuff is still being worked out, and that puts a lot of pressure on the inaugural committee and police secret service to work this out, but that was a huge change yesterday, when they announced it was going to be inside. the short of it, i just know that a lot of these fences and gates ask and barriers are going to be moved around, and the security footprint's going to be a little less. i think people will be able to move around more freely, guys. rachel: all right. david spunt, thank you. charlie: thanks. rachel: you guys, to his point

on just how up in the air and in flux things are, i ran into pete hegseth last night at one of the events, and we were having a discussion about what's going to the happen to our kids concern. [laughter] the original plan was, you know, cabinet members and and their spouses up on the platte forge our kids -- platform, our kids had seats down below. now that things are taken inside the rotunda, will the kids come with us? will the kids be at the arena? there's all kinds of questions going on, and things are getting worked out. i imagine that a lot of people who were planning on being on the mall are just going to be a little bit out of he can there, guys. even if things get moved into the arena, there are more people that this plan to be outside than there is capacity inside that arena, is so your hearing people just kind of upset. they made that trip down, they saved their money for really expensive hotels, and now they're not getting to do some of the things, including the parade that everyone really loves after the ceremony.

charlie: one of my favorite things to come out of all of this is the d.c. metro system in issuing new metro cards put donald trump's face with the 47, number 47 on it. and so i'll be with down there later today, and one of the first things i'm going to do is go to the metro center and get about five metro cards just -- [laughter] just for posterity. rachel: to frame. joey: oh, don't miss those days, public transportation days. [laughter] on that toppingic, real quick before we move on, if the concern to move it in is safety because there's tens of thousands of people that'll with out in the cold, then if they put up jumbotrons on the mall for tens of thousands to be out in the cold, you not really doing what you said you're doing, so i would imagine they'll deter people from being out there, but we'll have to wait and see. rachel: that will be for the people from minnesota, wisconsin and michigan. this is nothing to them. [laughter]

charlie: and a that parade is going to be jam packed, i guarantee you. joey: even if they're the in their puffer jackets and rachel isn't happy about it, i guess. rachel: this is definitely puffer jacket weather. you get a pass this weekend, everybody. somebody who's going to have to decide whether to take a pass on the ban on tiktok or not is going to be donald trump. a lot of gen-zers wondering what he's going to do when he takes office because as you know, there's been a move by the supreme court to uphold the ban on tiktok. here's a little sound, a little bit of video from the ceo of tiktok talking about what he expects to happen or what he hopes will happen after donald trump is inaugurated. >> as you know, we have within fighting to protect -- been fighting to peck the constitutional right for free speech for the more than 170 million americans who use our platform if every day to connect, create, discover and achieve their dreams. on behalf of everyone at tiktok and all our users across the

country, i want to thank president trump for his commitment to work with us the find a solution that keeps tiktok available in the united states. this is a strong stand for the first amendment, and against arbitrary censorship. we are grateful and pleased to have the support of a president who truly understands our platform, one who has used tiktok to express his own thoughts and perspectives, connecting with the world and generating more than 6 60 billion views of his content in the process. charlie: and, of course, donald trump tried to, tried to figure out a way to get a stay so that tiktok wouldn't get banned, but the supreme court upheld the congress, congressional action banning it if bytedance does not sell tiktok. he had a statement saying the supreme court decision was expected and everyone must respect it. my decision on tiktok not be made in the in the too distant future, but i must have time to

review the situation. stay tuned. rachel: that's right. and we just had a little bit ago my daughter, evita, who -- it was an interesting discussion, joey, very much in favor of this ban for national security reasons. e sue that saying she's not buying the national security excuse by our government. [laughter] she stands firmly with her generation in saying i don't believe you guys. here she is. [laughter] >> i don't think that downloading red note is an endorsement of china or an endorsement of communism. i think it's a rebellion against, ironically, ccp-style social control in this country via the tiktok ban. if the government cared about our privacy and our security, the government would put restrictions on selling american user data, they would do something about the military-aged chinese males who are allegedly coming over our open border, the chinese who are buying american farmland and

american cell towers. instead they're banning an app for social control. gen-z knows it and, like you said, they're giving the middle finger to the government that has abandoned the constitution. rachel: rah so, charlie, let me set this up a little bit, the comment about red note. so this is the rebellion. tiktok's going to be banned or go dark unless tiktok does something. they say, you know what? we're going to go to red mote which is another chinese app that has similar features as tiktok -- red note -- and as she's saying, charlie, she's like it's not that they all love china, they're just saying, hey, you guys are like china, and you can't stop us from expressing ourselves. charlie: and she obviously makes a lot of very important points about our own government's intrusion and spying on american citizens which is a really huge problem. the other thing that i think is really interesting though is red note is actually translated,

that's the word we use, but it's translated from the term the little red book, as in mao tse-tung's little red book. and it's amazing how many people either don't recognize that or don't recognize how horrifying that is because, of course, mao is responsible for the murders of millions and millions of people people, tens of millions of people starved under his utopia. and i female like for a lot of -- i feel like for a lot of young people today, i don't know that they even understand that history. joey: yeah. i want to amend my argument just real quick because evita's very -- she was the better or ray to have -- orator. charlie: very per if swaysive. joey: this is the law. the supreme court has upheld this law, so president trump can't just come in and say i don't want to abide by the law.

that's what biden's doing with the border right now. so we can't say, hey, we need a president who respects law and order and then ask him not to respect law and order. the argument is with congress because they pushed the through with the funding bill because they wanted to get money to ukraine, and americans weren't privy to it when it happened. members of congress weren't. so it's this bipartisan, nonpartisan bill because it was the attached, like pork is, to funding for ukraine, and the real gripe i have is with congress for passing it this way to begin with. all i'm saying is there is a security threat. tiktok is owned by china. congress should have done a better job at the solution they created and maybe, i don't know, patsed it on a -- a passed it on a clean bill. thomas massie makes a stand for it every time and loses out on it. rachel: yeah. i think that's a really generous, charitable view of it, joey, in that you thought it just got tucked into the ukraine

bill. [laughter] sometimes it's a bipartisan effort, a lot of times that's the, one -- the intel community and the intel motivation and their desire to control the narratives, to control our speech and have those kinds of powers one of the most bipartisan things in government in these things. but we'll see. i think it's an interesting thing. i think, charlie, you bring up an excellent point about what this means. i know, for example, my own daughter does understand what that red note means -- charlie: of course she does. rachel: in an op-ed on foxnews.com, you can catch all of that and her arguments many much more detail than we did here in her segment. but it's a fascinating turn of events of young people saying i'm just not going to listen to the government, and you've got to respect that kind of rebellion. the american -- even if they're turning to the chinese, there's something still kind of american in rebelling against government. charlie: absolutely.

no, and i love what you said, man. one thing i learned from being in washington is when with i heard the word bipartisan, grab your wallet and run. [laughter] rachel: yeah, no question. charlie: now to a fox news alert. the israeli military's preparing for the return of hostages tomorrow as part of its ceasefire if deal with hamas. joey: mike eau bin joins us -- tobin joins us live from hostage square in tel aviv, and he's got more. >> reporter: good morning, joey. really in the next few minutes the identities of the three women who are to be turned over from a hamas cap tinttivity baco israel should be relayed many a matter of minutes and, therefore, the families will learn as they have waited here and demonstrated really every week demanding israel strike a deal that brings the hostages home. we know a deal has been struck. there's light at the end of the tunnel, and the process will start tomorrow that could start bringing the hostages home. still on the eve of the cease fire, the violence continues.

israeli strikes have gone into the gaza trip. 23 people -- strip. 23 people have been killed in the strip in the last 24 hours. mt. last hour, sirens have sounded in israel as houthi rockets have headed in this direction. early this morning the people here in tel aviv and central israel were woken by the sounds of of the alarms. >> i think the it's a good deal. everybody who has a son or a daughter should have them home. >> i don't think it's a good deal. but i think we need to bring who we can. finish and and i hope everyone will come home. soon. >> reporter: as you can hear from if israelis on the street, some of them think it's a good deal because the the hostages come home, other think it's a bad deal because hamas, ultimately, is surviving at this

point in time. percent families of the hostages, you can only imagine the emotional toll this is taking on them. there was a deal, then it was off. there was a keel that was on, then service off. and for the three families that are about to learn their daughters are coming home, many more families are going to learn that their daughters are not in the first round of hostages. guys, back to you. charlie: thank you, mike. rachel: yeah, that that's heartbreaking. if it was my daughter, whatever it takes, get 'em home. joey: that's exactly right. rachel: all right. days after trump's inauguration, thousands will gather in washington for this year's march for life. what's next for the pro-life movement? that's just ahead.

rick: welcome back to "fox & friends." obviously, the fires this week have been such a big story. take a look at the maps, getting some containment on the two big fires, palisades fire and eaton fire. weather wise no precipitation in store for at least the next ten days, and that that overall dry pattern looks likest going to stick around for quite a while. by the time we get towards monday afternoon, santa ana winds kick in again, monday afternoon into tuesday afternoon. we can't tell exactly how strong this event is going to be, but some wind could cause some

problems. snow on the way towards the northeast. if you have plans that that you need to do anywhere along the eastern seaboard, do 'em today even though there's going to be rain showers. temperatures are going to be not that bad. the snow starts tomorrow, and behind that, that cold air is going to funnel in, ands it is going to be the coldest we have seen in a number of years including in the d.c. area, snow on sunday, the event on monday, the inauguration. 25 degrees, wind chills feeling around 10. rachel, hope you brought your winter coat with you down to d.c. rachel: i sure did, rick. wow. thanks a lot, rick. next week is the the march for life, and it returns to washington, d.c. where thousands the of to-life americans will gather -- pro-life americans will gather to celebrate and defend life. despite roe v. wade being overturned back in 2022 thanks in part to our next guest, organizers say there's a lot of work to do. so what can we expect on this issue from the trump administration? if mississippi attorney general

lynn fitch joins us now. lynn, it's so great the you. thanks for joining us today. >> good morning, rachel. great to be with you. rachel: before we get started, i'm going to note my vote here that we move the march to life to the summer because roe v. wade is over thanks in large part to you. but let's talk about this, because you are the lady who, you know, we can credit with overturning roe v. wade, but you're taking the lead on what the pro-life movement needs to do in this post-roe era. so lay out what you think is the approach for this movement. >> well, it was the an amazing case with the dobbs case to overturn roe v. wade, and we asked those justices, give us all the opportunity, give us a job to move forward. and in mississippi, we needly embraced that and i launched the empower ifment project. what are our next steps after the decision. we've immediately gone in and gotten a number of pieces of

legislation passed tar supportive, empowering, uplifting for our women, for our children. how do we help hem along their journey. so the empower ifment project, we saw there were several things that needed to be addressed, childcare, flexible work schedules, enforcement of child support to provide resources and tools for our young mothers, again, to upskill them. and certainly to fix our broken adoption and foster care systems. so we've immediately been in that arena, passed a number of pieces of legislation in our state.. i'm very grateful to our legislators for doing that. we passed legislation to allow safe haven baby boxes, tax credits for childcare for adoption. we passed the foster parents' bill of rights. just an incredible opportunity for everyone to be a part to empower and uplift women and children. and one of my favorite pieces of legislation is called the mama program. the mama program is a web site and and an app on the phones,

and it's incredible. it stands for mississippi access to maternal assistance. and so what we did, rachel, is we took all of the resources, public, private and faith-based, and put them on this site. and you can go in you're that young mother or mother-to-be, and you can tap on there in three clicks or less and see where you can find diapers, jobs, information, food. it's been incredible. we've had over 56,000 hits. so that means we're helping these young women, we're helping these mothers and bringing these families together. rachel: i just love this. i mean, you overturned roe v. wade, but you're saying now we need to step up and make sure that we are providing maximum support with the support of the state the make sure that it's easier for women to get through these difficult times and to provide that support system. i think it's a road map for the future. i think it's a blueprint for what other states should be doing. really quick, i only have a couple seconds here, lynn, are

other states calling you and saying, hey, we need to do this too? >> they are. and, again, it's best practices. we're happy the share any of our pieces of legislation, particularly the mama program, because we see how impactful and powerful that is, and it's the an easy tool to get these women the resources and the upskilling and the empowerment that that they need. rachel: well, only the pro-life movement is doing this kind of stuff for women, and so it says a lot about our movement. it always has had these support systems whether it was, you know, these pregnancy centers, but now we're seeing the power of the state coming in to show, you know what they say, show me your checkbook, and i'll show you your values. it's showing that mississippi values life, and that's a wonderful thing. i just want the tell you, you're a personal if hero of mine, lynn. just wonderful to have you on. as always. >> oh, thank you so much. thank you. always, i appreciate you, thank you. rachel: amazing. all right. thanks, lynn. well, you know him, you love him. a look back at the best of will cain on "fox & friends" weekend. that that's next.

charlie: so is donald trump about the make hollywood great again? the president-elect announcing jon vote, mel gibson and sly stallone will be special ambassadors to hollywood. actor dean cain joins us now. great to see you, dean. so are we going the make hollywood great again? >> let's hope so. first, i just want to say congratulations to my big brother, will cain, on his new show even though i'm many years older than he is. look, charlie, mel gibson, jon

vote, sylvester stallone, all folks who have survived numerous cancellation attempts and shockleyingly -- shockingly all a little bit conservative. it's a huge departure from recent years. andrew breitbart once famously said, you know, politics is downstream from culture, and he's right because liberals have been in control of hollywood for a long, long time, and the studios also are controlled by liberals. disney changing every known beloved character into some woke version of the original. so obviously what we see on tv and on the screens and so on and so forth can have a huge impact on how we feel about certain issues, situations. and you look at the successful films lately, top gun: maverick, sound of freedom. so people have been voting with their pocketbooks. it's wonderful. i love to see these guys in there. things are changing. and it's wonderful the see these guys sort of, i don't know, celebrated as opposed to canceled. charlie: yeah. no, i love you mentioned that

quote from andrew breitbart. i think it's so important and so true. and i think it's really a big reason why the left goes so crazy about donald trump, because donald trump is not downstream from culture, donald trump is culture. and i think that's why they freak out so much about him, and it's why he has been so successful. finish if. >> yeah. well, they've soled culture, is so to speak, for so long -- controlled -- i think they got complacent, and they started to get out over their skis a little bit some of these shows are just schaap in the face. audiences have been rejecting them. i think it's wonderful. i'm looking forward to an absolutely incredible pour years coming up -- four years coming up and beyond. i feel like there's sanity back in the united states of america, and i couldn't be more excited. great choice by president trump, all great guys, all great actors, and they'll be the president's eyes and ears in the hollywood. wow, what a concept. charlie: do you find that in hollywood these days that there is a different sort of -- i feel

like the reaction the president trump's election victory this time, like here in new york, it was different. do you find that there's sort of a different wind in, around hollywood today? if. >> oh, yeah. people are talking openly, you know, i've been doing it for years, but i've been, like, one of five people talking like this. suddenly everybody's like, well, you know, it couldn't be any worse than the last four years, to be honest, and what's been going on with an absentee president. it's clear right now who's running the country. everybody knows it. i made a mistake the first time, let's bring donald trump back in and see if we can't correct this stuff, and i can pay less for my groceries and wars across the world will stop. it goes on and on. but people are talking about it. hollywood is a lot more awake now, ask and i'm very happy about it. charlie: maybe you've pinpointed the one accomplishment of joe biden. he made everybody realize how

much we appreciate donald trump. [laughter] thank you, dean cain. >> quite an accomplishment. thanks, charlie. charlie: next, a preview of this weekend's nfl playoff games including a match-up not seen since 1999. at the farmer's dog, we don't think that's long enough. that's why our food comes in personalized portions. because a dog at a healthy weight could live a longer, happier life. taxes was waiting... now taxes is a turbotax expert who can do your taxes in a day... so you can get up to $4,000 instantly. now, this is taxes. intuit turbotax.

joey: it's hard arguably the best weekend of football as divisional rounds of the finishes nfl playoffs begin with the washington commanders taking on the detroit lyons on fox. the last -- lions. the last time these two teams faced off was 1999. sideline reporter jen hale joins us now. jen, what do you make of this game? >> hey, good morning, joey. it's going to be an awesome show for a variety of reasons. first of all, two head coaches who are gamblers. dan camp dell, dan quinn, that they love to go for it on fourth down. that's' going to make for fantastic moments in this game that are going to have viewers glued to the their set. secondly, you're getting healthier on both sides. the lions, they're getting david month if to comely back in the run game, and for the commanders, they're getting bobby radner if back, star linebacker. chomping at the bit to make an impact, they're going to be head to head.

they're both superstars with huge play-making ability. i think the spread on this one is way too big, it's still 2010 points. i think you're going to see that shrink as we get closer to kickoff. and, look, the challenge for this lions' defense, they are my pick to win one, but they're going the the get out after jaden daniels. he's been phenomenal all season, unable to be rattled all season long. they've got to a make him uncomfortable or today he's going to pull off the upset. joey: yeah, looking at jaden daniels being a rookie, is that a disadvantage coming into this game or has he played so well, that's not really a thing? >> morally, you're right -- normally, you're right. it'd be a bright lights, can can you handle the pressure, but this, i'm going to call him a kid because he's a rookie, he's not blinked once at all. this entire season long. he's so prepared, he's mature beyond his years. he won tons with lsu, bringing them to a national championship.

joey: yeah. >> he's your heisman trophy winner from that a season. i think if any rookie could handle it, it's him. joey: he's looked really good. jen hale, thank you so much. catch the commanders-lions tonight at 7:30 on fox. jen, thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. joey: yes, ma'am. more "fox & friends" moments away. struggling with the highs and lows of bipolar 1? ask about vraylar. because you are greater than your bipolar 1 and you can help take control of your symptoms,
