joey: welcome back. it's the fourth and final 9:00 a.m. hour on "fox & friends weekend." marco rubio making his first foreign trip as secretary of state, the showdown over the panama cay that. charlie: democrats pick a far left leered after their brutal loss and they don't seem to be learning any lessons. >> we believe t that racism and misogyny played a role in vice president harris' defeat. [laughter] >> okay. rachel: and influencers flocking to rfk junior's maha agenda. the final hour of "fox & friends weekend" starts right now. ♪ ♪ i can w buy myself flowers,.

♪ write my name in the sand. ♪ talk to myself for hours. joey: that is a double win, a great song and a great view. looking at broken bow, oklahoma. looks really nice. rachel: it's beautiful. but really, you think it's a great song. joey: i think it's fantastic. rachel: it's got a great beat. the message, not good. i can buy myself flowers, basically you don't need a man. it's not as much fun to buy yourself flowers or hold your own hand. joey: is that what it says. rachel: it's a girl boss message. joey: you say that like i listen to the words. rachel: i get it, it's catchy. joey: just play it in the background. i don't listen to music anymore. my daughter controls the radio. rachel: i get that. joey: we're going to get into some stuff here. trump's team is championing america first, the america first

message as secretary of state marco rubio preps to meet with panama's president today. he's down in panama over the showdown for the canal there and envoy richard gray grinell brout back six or seven americans from vevenezuela. rachel: the americans were held hostage and donald trump sent the ambassador down there. he brought them home, put them on the phone with the president right while they get object thee airplane and also negotiated for maduro the ill legitimate leader or so-called leader of venezuela, a dictator, and said you've got to take your tren de aragua guys back and i guess that he must have been shaking in his boots because he also offered to pay for them to come back. so anyway, there's that. meanwhile, marco rubio, this is what he told the wall street journal. for many reasons u.s. foreign policy has long focused on other

regions while overlooking our own as a result we let problems fester, and neglected partners. that ends now. diplomacy's role in this effort is central, we need to work with countries of or roy given to origin to haltfurther migrant fg in the return of their citizens. charlie: it's a completely different posture, an america first posture, a recognition that our neighbors should be some of our most important allies and the idea that we have a failed narco state to our south should be a real problem. we were talking during the break earlier. think of all of the investments we have made around the world in far plug places that many of us can't find on a map, if we made those investments in places that were more immediately important to us, like our neighbors or central or south america, we might have a different situation

in terms of illegal immigration and drugs. rachel: absolutely. we had representative salazar on from the great state of florida. she's on the house foreign affairs committee and she talked about trump's new focus on latin america and how that's being received by those countries. listen. >> if you care about fentanyl, if you care about crime, if you care about migration, you have to care about latin america and that's exactly what marco rubio is doing and it's a new dawn for latin america and for the united states because it's our backyard and they want to do business with the americans hands down but we have been absent so now there's a new sheriff in town and i'm so happy that president trump understands that these people are in our backyard. this is our sphere of influence, latin america. so the message that we're sending now to the p pan mainans and the rest of the country, americans are back, venezuela is

a national security threat. if we don't do away with maduro we'll have venezuelans knocking on the door, we'll have the snake spreading through the atmosphere, and for the average american that is good, if we have a quiet and prosperous latin america including venezuela, we have peace at home. rachel: bravo to that. a lot of symbolism with having marco rubio there -- >> you couldn't have said it better myself. rachel: i couldn't have said it better myself. we definitely share a lot of common ideas there, me and the congresswoman from florida. i love how during the interview she referred to the secretary of state as her constituent. consistent sit.joey: the formef florida who is now her constituent. the glowing review i got, said that woman's a fire cracker but she's very knowledgeable. a friend of mine doesn't watch fox very often. rachel: that's what she said

about me. joey: that's what she said about you. charlie: among democrats, they've picked a new leader of their party but it's kind of funny because of course it's a white guy, it's kind of like after all of the dei and all of the lecture thing do to the rest of us and they wind up with joe biden, they wind up with ken martin but their meeting in maryland where they selected ken martin was pretty funny. it got kind of bogged down at times with some of their rules that confuse even them. >> our rules specify that when we have a gender nonbinary candidate or officer, the nonbinary individual is counted as neither male nor female and the remaining six officers must be gender balanced with the results of the previous elections, our elected officers at this point are currently two male and two female. in order to be gender balanced

we must have add one male, one female and one person of any gender. rachel: it's just so much easier to be a conservative, isn't it? i mean, this is so confusing. [laughter] rachel: i don't think knows what he says. does he? charlie: you don't need adjust your tv. it really was that crazy. the party of many genders, what they're saying is they created some rule that said we've got to have as many women as men. then come along the i don't knows. so it's like do we have to have as many i don't knows as we do women or men? does one i don't know count as one man and one woman? there's that i guess you call it a gif you can find on your phone. it's a movie character and all these math egg weig equations gn his head and he looks confused. that's how i felt when they were talking right now. rachel: that's how i felt. it's no wonder they can't get anything done. they can't get past the most

basic thing which is of course biological sex and who is who and they want to create these crazy rules to make sure everyone feels equitable within the party. charlie: let's be clear, they don't know what they're talking about either. it confuses even them. it only has to do with one thing and that is so they can call you their opponents a racist. that's all they want to do and they go through all of this so they can just shut us up by saying you're racist or you're anti-whatever and then before you know it they're putting biological males in girl's locker rooms. joey: i've seen ikea instructions that were easier to understand. rachel: no question about it. what i think is interesting -- i'm so glad we played that first. kudos for our producers and you that saw the clip, i think it isn't just stupid and confusing. it really feels very dated. and i do believe what we're seeing on pop culture, we did a segment on that new article in

the new york magazine about the cool kids club and it's that liberals are getting worried that conservatives right now in this moment that we are in are becoming the taste makers, are setting the rules. they used to have all these gate keepers in hollywood. because of social media they can't control the script anymore. thus you get donald trump, you get melania trump and everyone finally waking up and going wait a minute, this is the most fashionable, gorgeous woman that we've ever had as first lady and you have all these young people flocking to the republican party, to the gop maga movement, you see that cover. i wish we could put that cover up because it shows just how it all changed. charlie: that we have to crop in order to get minorities out of the picture. rachel: exactly. maga is this multicultural, you know, multiethnic movement but another thing that's happening is jd vance who is -- who comes from -- i gue guess he's a men

millennial. we're seeing debates between gen z, gen x and aging boomers about thomas aquinas. listen to jd vance talk to sean hannity about this very christian principle he says and i agree on the order of love. watch. >> this old school -- i think it's a very christian concept, by the way, that you love your family and then you love your neighbor and then you love your community and then you love your fellow citizens in your own country and then after that you can focus and prioritize the rest of the world. a lot of the far left has completely inverted that. they seem to hate the citizens of their own country and care more about people outside their own borders. that is no way to run a society and i think the profound difference that donald trump brings to the leadership of this country is the simple concept of

america first. it doesn't mean you hate anybody else. it means that you have leadership. joey: so look, this kind of controversy popped up different places. someone on social media i follow that lives in atlanta, hanna cox, she ventures right but she's more down the middle. she took an exception to the idea that he's saying this is what christianity is. i didn't see it that way. if you look at her post, there's one person quotes scripture to say one thing, another person quotes scripture to say it means this or that. he's not creating a religious r ideological debate. he's saying your charity, your giving, your concern is related to proximity, responsibility to others is related to how they affect your life and how you expect them. we have state, federal government. i believe highest taxes should go local, not federally. it's not because i don't love

the rest of the country, it's because that's where i live, that's my life, it's the water i drink the utility country. whether you bring to it your christian rel beliefs or you see that link, i think it's rooted on common sense, what the country is founded on. rachel: does it start at home, charity? charlie: for people to not care is to intellectualize it and say i care about people that are 1,000 miles away when you have people neck to you in your own sphere -- next to you in your own sphere who need help and it's a dangerous ideology to think that's more important than what you can actually in your own life do and it's why church is important, because it's your neighbors and you're all gathering there and you recognize that somebody is in need in your own community. rachel: just to make sure we're not making this up about liberals caring more about people far away, there was a

heat map that was developed where they polled liberals on what was more important to them. you see conservatives say family, then friends, then america, all the way down to number nine was other countries. let's see what liberals from the heat map here found. charlie: that is amazing. that is so amazing. rachel: right, stronger at the end. so they care least about their family, they care more about other countries. so it's a complete inversion and what thomas aquinas -- not to get too theological but we're ordered that way. he says this is the natural order. mother theresa once said -- people asked about world peace. she said you want world peace, go home and love your family. that's how we get world peace. i think that's the message jd vance -- jd vance's interview and all the stuff -- he's on twitter arguing it. it's been brilliant. this is a man who understands culture and knows how to articulate it much better than i have so go and watch those. charlie: you're dropping thomas

aquinas and 9:14 on a sunday. i say that's pretty forward thinking there. rachel: all right. turning now tour headlines. president trump ordering military air strikes on a senior isis leader and other terrorists he led in somalia, retired air force gender rob spalding applauding trump's move earlier this morning. >> he's picking up where he left off with the soleimani strike and i think he's putting fear back into the equation. i think a lot of people think because he says he's about not having wars or starting wars, he won't be-you know, use military action when it's appropriate. in this case it was. it's good to see him making a quick decision to go after the threat. rachel: president trump has confirmed that no civilians were harmed in the attack. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is headed to meet with president trump.

>> the fact that this would be president trump's first meeting with a foreign leader since his inauguration is telling. the decisions we made in the war have already changed the face of the middle east. our decisions and the courage of our soldiers have redrawn the map. but i believe that working closely with president trump we can redraw even further and for the better. rachel: tomorrow netanyahu will meet with trump's special envoy for the middle east to discuss a second phase in israel's cease fire with hamas and the 67th grammy awards kick off tonight at 8:00 p.m. in los angeles. by i don'beyonce is leading alls with 11, breaking the record with most nominations in grammy history with 99 totals. rebuilding effort will hang over the whole show after the devastating wildfires happened earlier this month in los angeles. tonight's show and its charity

have raised $2 million in emergency aid with $4 million pledged so far and those are your headlines. charlie: the trump administration pushing for a cease fire ukraine. his goal for after the war, that's next.

joey: welcome back. the trump administration's plan to end the war in ukraine includes the push for elections in the war battered region. how would that work? our next guest recently returned from talks in the region, retired lieutenant general keith kellogg serves as special enjoy for russia and yuan. inukraine. he joins us now. is this president trump telling the post president of ukraine he needs to move on somewhere? >> when you look at ukraine, the ukraine, russian war, it's in our interest to solve this. president trump said that back in september when president zelenskyy of ukraine came to trtrump tower and said it's important for this to end. look at the amount of money we put in there, $174 billion in

thereafter four years, paul kennedy wrote a book, the rise and fall of great powers, he said great powers fail because of strategic overreach. hyou look at the engagement with foreign adversaries. that doesn't necessarily mean enemies, but in the link between russia, china, north korea and iran, we're trying to break that apart as we had during the first trump administration. the only person putin will want to talk to because he's kind of denigrated other leaders that are out there is president trump and president trump's the only one who can bring this to a conclusion. it makes a lot of lodge of call sense that president trump works with the russians, works with president putin. it's a transactional relationship. i know that from the first time. i think what's going to happen is you're going to see the events coming together, we're going to have discussions with everybody over time and then probably in the near term to figure out how to walk away from the war. it's probably a bad term but to

end the conflict. it's good for both sides. both sides have to give a little bit. can't just be the ukrainians giving up or the russians giving up. it has to be coming together. in the u.n. general briefing the president had in the first term he talked about national sovereignty. sovereignty is ensuring there's some type of stability in the region, that's what president trump is approaching and he's going to approach that with the russians and ukrainians. it's going to happen i believe in a relatively near term. joey: do we take this to mean, this as a sign that the trump administration doesn't believe that zelenskyy and his administration is willing to end the war? is that saying that we can't get this war ended if there isn't an opportunity to have a different leader? >> that's not true at all. when you talk about elections, it's in the constitution, they can't have an election until the war goes to a cease fire. both leaders, you're going to deal with zelenskyy, you're

going to deal with putin. putin made the comment he's an illegitimate leader. that's not his call. i think both sides will give a little bit. zelenskyy indicated -- he softened his position on land and putin's going to have to soften his positions as well. it can't be one way or the other. the western world won't stand for it. when you look at president trump, basically the true art of the deal individual, he understands that. he understands where negotiations are going to go and how they have to end. it's in our best interest, both here in the united states but globally as well to get this to a conclusion and i think that president trump is the one individual that can actually make this work and i'm very kv department it will work -- confident it will work. joey: there's a war in ukraine, a war in israel that's in a cease fire, there's the threat of china invading taiwan. seems like there's the threat of war just about everywhere. how important is it for the trump administration to show in this first attempt that they can

end this big war between ukraine and russia, how important is that to re-establish america's strength and ability to bring peace thr or at least find peacn this? >> that's a great question. what has happened for the last four years? we've always been concerned about escalation. great powers do not fear escalation. and once great powers and other powers know that the united states is willing to move its muscle when it wants to they will step back a bit. that's what you saw in the middle east when you saw what netanyahu did. give netanyahu credit when he eviscerated hamas, destroyed hezbollah, went after the iranians. he created a sense of this in the region. people respect you more when you do that and i don't think we've that respect in the last four years and you're going to see that. and the chinese will respect that, the russians will respect that, the iranas are going to respect that and kim jong un is going to respect it as well. i think you're going to see that.

i think what's going to happen in the middle east, that's what's so great about netanyahu coming to the united states is the fact that you're going to see a greater bargain happening and you're probably going to see expansion of the abraham accords which would be perfect for the united states and middle east as well. joey: general, thank you so much for bringing your expertise, as always thank you for your service. >> thanks, joe see. joey.joey: yes, sir. rfk junior advocating for his make america healthier again. many are supporting him, including the creator of the podcast real foodology. she's withre s us next. stay with us. members save up to 40% on hundreds of items in store and online, because you're a big deal. so join for free today and save now before rewards week ends.

rachel: health and fitness influencers are backing rfk junior for health and human service he's second as he advocating for prioritizing healthy foods over pharmaceuticals during his senate hearings last week.

listen. >> we need to get rid of the conflicts in the agency that obstruct those studies and that is -- that are focused on advancing the mercantile interest of the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry rather than the health of the american people. rachel: amen to that. integrated nutritionist and real foodology podcast host courtney swan joins us now. what's your take away from this hearing and the sparks that we saw between the politicians and rfk junior? >> yeah, thank you so much for having me on. look, moms are largely the ones that are really supporting him. in fact, they packed hearing halls, senator cassidy said he's never gotten so many calls for a nomination before. moms are really seeing the effect of this rise in chronic disease in their children and to be quite honest they're tired. they're tired of being manipulated.

americans are tired of the grocery store being a battle and for once we finally have somebody standing up on the public stage and naming these issues and saying he wants to address them and fix them. it's really exciting. rachel: it is. it's so interesting when i was watching it to see just how far behind the american people, these politicians were. it's like the moms as you said have figured it out. the young -- you have an account, a podcast, you're an influencer on social media. all of my kids are watching all of this food stuff. it's trendy right now. they're so behind the curve in washington, d.c. but i think what was interesting, courtney, is he was saying this is actually intentional, right? that the corporations and big food have captured these politicians through campaign money. >> yes. yeah, unfortunately a lot of these senators are getting kickbacks from big agriculture, big food, big pharma.

they have large ad budgets and they're confusing the public for profit essentially. we have a for profit healthcare system and we have a food system that is largely more concerned about profits than it is about the health of the american people and we're trying to change that. why can't we have a healthcare system that incentivizes a preventative care model so americans can live healthier, longer lives? rachel: all of these politicians that are up in arms and yelling at rfk junior are the same people that voted forlr rachel levine. look at her physically, him physician i'll callie and rfk junior, one is a vision of health and the other isn't. they have no problem voting for rachel levine. we should want our leader of health and human services to be somebody that lives out a healthy life, right? >> absolutely. i think it's fascinating to watch this all go down. i don't know that we've ever seen such an uproar over a

secretary nominee and i think it's -- a lot of it's these senators are concerned about their profits but you know, it will be really -- i think that, look, the american people made it very clear that they were voting to get rfk in there. the american people want to make america healthy again and going against this nomination would be going against what the american people want and, look, i think he's in a really unique position here. if you look at his past career and what he's done, the majority of his career he has spent litigating against these large corporations that have been poisoning us so he's in a unique position to know all about corporate capture, he's naming it right now and he's saying that he can fix it and he has a lot to lose putting himself out there. you know? why else would he put himself out there? he said himself in hearing that he's so passionate about it but he has a happy life, he has a happy marriage. why would he put himself out there other than the fact he

really cares. rachel: his own family turned on him. i can't think after. of a morepartisan issue than hed getting corporations out of our food and our diet. hopefully the politicians catch up to the moms and rest of america. courtney swan, it's so great to have you on. we're doing have you back. thanks. >> thank you so much. rachel: you got it. maria bartiromo sitting down for an exclusive interview with vice president vance and she joins us with a preview. maria: you're one of the youngest vice presidents that we've ever seen in the history of our country. are you expecting to run for president for in three and-a-half years. >> oh, maria, you're the firstt person who's asked me that. he lost so much weight. pre-portioned packs makes it really easy to keep him lean and healthy. in the morning, he flies up the stairs and hops up on my bed. in the past, he would not have been able to do any of those things. advil liqui-gels are faster and stronger

rachel: on this groundhog day morning, will we see six weeks of winter more or will it be an early fl spring? mr. phil gives his big prediction. >> i'm headed back down, there's a shadow up here. get ready for six more weeks of winter this year. rachel: let's head down to gobbler's knob in pennsylvania where punxsutawney just gave the answer. janice dean, how are you? i trust you more than the groundhog. [laughter] >> reporter: listen, the

groundhog is always right, just know that. he's 100% right. it's lost in train layings trane he speaks something called groundhoggese that only the president of the inner circle knows how to speak. if phil gets it wrong, it's because the president misinterpreted the forecast. it's cold here in pongs tony. punxsutawney.i think he got it . the forecast is pretty cold. if you were watching "fox & friends" around 6:00 a.m. or 7:00 a.m., packed, probably 50,000 people here but i mean, they made a bee line for the bars and the restaurants so -- and that's exactly what i'm going to be doing after this report with "fox & friends" but first, i want to introduce you to aj derume, the handler of punxsutawney and here's what he had to say. >> i wore gloves for the first two years as a handler. it takes some time to develop a

relationship, like a cat or dog. groundhogs get comfortable with the person that feeds them and takes care of them. i always wanted to do it. >> reporter: really? so this is destiny. >> i was born for this. >> reporter: i can tell. you're not wearing gloves. >> reporter: so he wasn't wearing gloves. i mean, he loved phil and i think phil loved him back. while we were here, fox nation, my crew was shooting a big major story for fox nation. it's called -- dan, come over here. dan cohen, he's the producer, what's it called? >> called seeing shadows, inside groundhog day with janice dean? >> reporter: this was your first time, what do you think. >> it was pretty overwhelming. i like the hat. >> reporter: will you come again. >> i will come again. >> reporter: maybe he'll just watch the fox nation special. all right, i live you all. i'll see you next week on "fox & friends." rachel: right back at you, janice. joey? joey: janice is still

listening, i could use that gobbler's knob scarf. i like that a lot. i would go just to get the scarf. turning to your headlines, we're learning more about victims in last week's american airlines plane crash including seven hunting buddies who were returning from a hunt in kansas, the hunting guides they had been using posting this photo online saying, quote, please pray for the families, friends and for our three other hunters in the group who are driving home heart broken is an understatement. i wore my rubber ducky tie today in honor of these seven hunters, i sent my four best friends out to kansas to duck hunt this year and that part of the tragic story really hit close to home with me and i had a lot of mutual friends with that group reach out and tell me about it. we're praying for their families. the premier of british columbia canada is urging all canadianans to boycott american made alcohol after president trump announced

new tariffs on our neighbors to the north. >> just the liquor purchasing that we do here in british columbia, $3.5 billion. we are depending on how do the math in the top five purchasers of alcohol products in the world through our liquor distribution branch. these tariffs will force canada to procure from other countries. joey: he says they'll also be removing american alcohol brands from government store shelves as well. and those are your headlines. charlie, don't go to canada looking for american whiskey. charlie: sounds like canada has a drinking problem. okay. this morning in an exclusive interview with maria bartiromo, vice president jd vance opening up about the potential consequences of dei and how it's being slashed under president trump. >> first of all, we should investigate everything but let's just say the person at the

controls didn't have enough staffing around him or her because we were turning people away because of dei reasons. there's a very direct connection between the policies of the last administration and short staffed air traffic controllers. that has to stop. the president made very clear that he wasn't blaming anybody but he was being very explicit about the fact that dei policies have led our air traffic controllers to be short staffed. that is a scandal. thankfully it's a scandal the president has stopped. charlie: sunday morning futures anchor maria bartiromo joins us now with more from that interview. that was -- those are some hard truths he was saying right there. maria: yeah, good morning to you, charlie. i mean, it's not like the president and the vice president are saying that they have evidence that the person at the controls on that wednesday when the commercial flight collided with the black hawk helicopter, that person was a dei hire. no. that's not what they're saying. they're saying the policy overall created a culture of

basically, you know, dividing the number of people that were actually eligible for their job and canceling out perhaps very qualified people because of the dei policies. that's what he's saying and that's what we talked about. we talked about really what's gone wrong at the faa because now there are a lot of questions about how it's possible that that happened, the deadliest crash in decades, and what happened to the faa. are they going to need even more money to modernize things? we got into the president's agenda as well, of course, and i think you know that i also asked him about his plans in four years. it was an important interview, i think, hearing from the vice president in terms of what his specific role is in executing president trump's agenda. charlie: well, they certainly are on a tear. it's been an impressive -- what, it's been two weeks now, it's kind of hard to kind of wrap your brain around the idea that they've only been there for two weeks. maria: it's true, charlie.

i think most people understood president trump's plans and his agenda. he talked about it thoroughly throughout the campaign but very few people understood the rapid pace with which the president would take in terms of executing all of this, he's got an idea a minute from the panama canal to greenland to this iron dome that he wants to create for america, marco rubio obviously on the ground right no in panama. we talked about that as well. this morning we're talking further about the president's agenda when i speak with the wyoming senator, the majority whip in the senate, john bore barrasso is with me as well. we'll talk about the confirmation hearings next week. he's on the finance committee and that is the committee, mike krapo is announcing an executive session to consider the hhs secretary nomination for robert kennedy junior. we're going to talk to john barrasso about if he has confidence that in fact he's got

the votes to confirm robert f. kennedy junior. we've also got newly confirmed epa minister lee zeldin and we have breaking news, lee zeldin will travel with the vice president jd vance, tomorrow, to ohio, palestine. it's going to mark the year since that train derailment putting all of those horrible chemicals in the water and the air and we'll talk with tom homan as you know, the deportation plans underway right now in america and we want to find out where we are in terms of that swath that you discussed earlier in venezuela, that rick grinell was able to bring back hostages to america. we've got a big show. a lot of breaking news coming up. jd vance really made a lot of common sense comments about the president's agenda. so i want to really get into what he has to say about executing that agenda. charlie: well, it's a new era, a new era of transparency and we thank you for bringing it to us and we'll be watching, maria bartiromo. maria: thank you.

of trouble. >> well, you guys, you knowists knowit's really interesting bece finally faith is in fashion. there was many, many years where we felt like mentioning religion or faith you were kind of ostracized but it's so interesting when we think about all the losses that have gone on and i can't even imagine what it would be like to lose your entire home or lose a loved one, you know, in the blink of an eye through an accident but i will tell you that i lost my husband of 37 years and i went through a very, very difficult time of grief but what i found out of that is that when we are in our state of grief, what is so amazing is that that's when god shows up. he really does. he's there and what i learned is i thought my time for blessing and my time for happiness may have passed and maybe i don't

get that again. but i recently found that out of grief you really can have joy again in your life. and when you are still maybe in a difficult situation, when you're thankful and you live a life of thankfulness it's all about your attitude and it's amazing how god really can bring beauty out of ashes. rachel: yeah, it's so true. i love how you're saying faith is back in fashion. we were talking a couple weeks ago about my 80-year-old mother who prays the rosary online with russell brandt. talk about a cross-generational, cross-sectional belief in a higher power. this coming -- this past week, kim, i had the experience of my husband being sworn in just before these tragic incidents what happened but he was sworn in my clarence thomas who gave him some really sound advice and

he said go to mass as much as you can, daily if you can and then he said and pray this prayer every day and the prayer was lord, give me the wisdom to know what's right and the courage to do it. and i just think also, you know, praying for that in our lives but also praying for that for our leaders in this time. >> oh, 100%, rachel and i so admire you all these years. you've never been shy about talking about your faith and plussinputting it out there ande you say with your husband and that wonderful quote you just gave, i too am in a change in my life and i read recently about prayer regarding relationships and do you know that i think it's under like 20% of couples that pray together end up in divorce when we know that the statistics are 50% of divorce in his country so prayer whether it's for your husband being sworn in or whether it's for our neighbors and our friends, it

works. charlie: thank you for that message, kim. very important. always leading with gratitude. >> that's right. thanks, charlie. always good to see you. charli.joey: all right. more "fox & friends" just moments away. stick with us
