pete: that's a shot of a fox all american christmas tree in fox square. if you're in the area, in town, come by and check it out. i people do. lots of christmas card pictures are being taken right in front of this tree with a lot of tourists. pete: lot of people are doing it. it's true. rachel duffy campos, will cain with you. will: that's not under my per view of things. pete: you don't even know? will: was shown a card and i said thumbs up and i went out. pete: imagine what it's lake to be married to will cain? will: i'm pretty easy. the reason i bring it up, i mea- i do you take care of all the tickets and things that happen like ---will: tickets? i you know, like a car or licensing. do you take care of all that stuff? i doing it off. will: you're failing. you said you'd be nice to me for four ho hours and you didn't evn make it 45 minutes. pete: they're done and going scout jen is a machine. rachel: that's amazing. i keep a box where i put them all and pick like a morning that i just no one's bothering me and i have coffee and look at everyone's cards. it's so lovely. will: that's not the way to do it. get a cocktail and get everybody around and go look at their card. you're doing it wrong. pete: or reading of other people's letter when is they write long letters. will: can you believe they went with a trifold? what are they sa saying with a trifold? fancy. you're laughing because everybody does it. pete: she does it with her coffee and i do it three drinks deep. like whoa. this kid is not growing up. rachel: i'm always amazed at how beautiful all these families are and all the babies and just having a different experience. will: one less person in the picture this year. rachel: okay. pete: that's true. will: moving on to the other season, which is politic season. democracy 2024 and we've got elections coming up and ron desantis and vivek ramaswamy all holding campaign events in iowa. pete: six weeks out. caucuses are coming. will: six weeks. crazy. pete: so they're all holding events there. everyone is focusing -- you know. as the polls -- with the polls as an indicator, at this point, it's donald trump's race in iowa and there's a big national poll that he puts them up almost near 70 in the latest poll and nbc news des moines register poll has trump at 43% in iowa. desantis and haley at 16, vivek at 7. i think at this point it appears to be a forgone conclusion that trump will win the iowa caucuses and whoevers in second can tout that and try to use that to slingshot into other states and it's a done race. rachel: there's hope that ron desantis had with that debate with sean hannity and between him and gavin newsom might give him that extra bump if you will and one of the people that's been really interesting in iowa is vivek ramaswamy who's been touching that third rail and i love candidates that aren't afraid to touch the third rail and one of the topics that he's been challenging governor reynolds who as you know is a big supporter of desantis, he's been challenging her and others on these pipelines that run through the state that end up with eminent domain rules going through the pipelines and they're supposedly to capture carbon and what he had to say is the thinks there's funny business going on and the governor supporting and other politicians supporting this because they're getting donations from those behind this, these pipelines. listen. >> i challenge the industry air sewsuation claiming this was a opportunistic speech and favor these pipelines and i challenge governor kim reynolds and the four republican congressmen to tell me what i am about to tell you. what have i gotten wrong here and if after hearing what i'm about to say, you still support the use of eminent domain impimplicitly or explicitly then have the courage to stand up in front of your own constituents and make that case. why are the republican puppets that, you know, claim to represent you quietly supporting this issue or even worse ignoring it. rachel: yeah. will: this is interesting. it's a local issue in that you're talking about imminent domain for pipelines needing to be laid. eminent domain and the reason for it is based upon global warming/climate change. pete: these are pipelines and we'll get more information from him and we'll have a lot of farmers saying el eminent domain and yet another climate scheme, that's a whole nother deal. rachel: might be like going into iowa and dis-ing ethanal. he's touching on something that a lot of politicians don't want you to talk about and that's interesting. we're going to -- as you said dig more into it. pete: at 4% in iowa, what happens if it stays there? rachel: sure. will: down south to texas, a fifth circuit court of appeals, the fifty circuit court of appeals denied a governor's ability to lay buoys on the rio grand as nautical border wall with texas and mexico. greg abbott, governor of texas tweeted, the fifth circuit court of appeals denying texas' sovereign aauthority to secure the border with marine barrier is clearly wrong and attorney genapgeneral pac packs paxton wo scotus to protect texas from biden's orders. pete: they don't have to remove the buoys till this is appealed, does it? will: unless they can get an injunction. pete: here we go. we're pulling the buoys out of the water and trying to appeal it. others have faced this trying to maintain their sovereignty. will: impedments in-- im-- rachel: we don't know who a lot of people are coming across the southern boarder and numbers are so huge and it's really hard to vet them. there's been a lot of contraversey and look at footage, this is right near barbara streisand and jennifer aniston's house. these kind of boats coming and letting people out, this is happening all over italy and spain for years now and now we're seeing it come here to the united states. we also saw some by the way off the coast of florida in the keys. a boat coming with illegals from cuba. pete: i mean, that could be an assault. could be anybody with any intention in malibu, california. it's very, seeing these impanelings and talking about them over and over again is disheartening. rachel: there's irony and a little bit like the martha -- remember when desantis sent the illegal migrants to island, was it -- pete: sure. rachel: nantucket or martha's vineyard. these are right by the homes of people who really support joe biden's policies so it'll be interesting to see how celebrities react in the backyard. will: we had gloria ro romero oo talk about that in malibu. >> every community in america is a border state. malibu is particularly interesting. it is over 100 miles from the border. it is the martha's vineyard of california and this is also a community that is a sanctuary city city with very, very woke politics that is overwhelmingly voted for people like gavin newsom and joe biden. so i think the politics are going to hit up against the reality of what an open unsecured border brought to you by biden harris is doing to what really is a very affluent community right at the beach. rachel: might give you an interesting insight into how every day californians feel about this. pete: they're voting for it. rachel: that's true. pete: not everybody but plenty of conservatives in california say we didn't vote for any of this. till you gain a critical mass and turn sanity back on. you mentioned europe, rachel, that's why you're seeing the uprisings and the protests and the problems in europe is because it's been unchecked, unfettered migration of illegals throughout european countries who is populations have been overwhelmed by illegals and then groups of people who say we're not here to be a part of your crown triple-demic, we're here to be a part of taking over your country. thankfully america has two big oceans and traditionally had friendly neighbors and is a huge country compared to this. hey, just drip by drip. drip by drip the intention is to change the country. rachel: no question about it. meanwhile in your set of the woods in minnesota. pete: talk about maple grove high school in minnesota. we played the crimson and had a couple of pre-solid games, basketball games back in the day. rachel: just wanted to tell us. will: nice. pete: letting you know. this middle school in maple grove, minnesota, the principle saying the whole school was transformed because of one simple thing. they got rid of yell phones. rachel: imagine that. pete: the principal of maple grove middle school talking about that on the ingram angle. watch. >> it's been night and day what we've dealt with in the last couple years and talking to each other face-to-face at lunch and you're not seeing them on social media in the hallway when is they have a break. they're not taking them out during class. they just look happier. pete: is anybody surprised? rachel: no. pete: how is this hard? rachel: it's not. my kids go to a school where they are not allowed to have cell phones. to me it's logical. i don't understand why they would allow it. they said it's interesting he says in the hallways, the kids are talking more. right. they're having conversations and you said there's less bullying that they've seen from removing the phones because a lot happens online know and pete: parents that excuse it away saying i need a way to reach my child. they need to reach me in a emergency. if you have a problem, raise your hand, talk to the teacher, go to the office and make a phone call. it's so not hard and parents out there who create the expectation, cave to their kids, news flash, 12 year-olds are morons and cave to their kids and you get chaos inside classrooms and it take as few courageous adults to say this is where we learn. put your phone in your locker and don't touch it. if you do, you're in trouble. maybe you'll focus on english and not instagram. will: what age? pete: up and up and up. 13 and then 16 and right now probably 17 at this point-blank layups. rachel: my daughter just got a phone at 15. pete: why is that not true? will: multitude of reasons. rachel: her phone she can't have apps. will: i feel the windup coming. my 12-year-old doesn't have a phone, my sophomore does. pete: reasonable. will: i think eighth grade is when we did it. eighth grade. eighth grade you don't have to. i just think you're all talk is what i think. pete: we'll see. will: i think by -- certainly by the time they're driving, you said 16 they're going to have a cell phone. pete: right now the talk there is some sort of flip phone ability to punch in a number and make a phone call in an emergency. rachel: that's what my daughter has. she's able to call us and we can text with her, she's 15 ask just got it. in fact, can i tell you when her school said everyone has to put their phones in the cubby, the first time she said i don't have a phone and they thought she was hiding her phone because everyone has a phone; right? she didn't have a phone. but, you know what i've heard on the flip side of this, some parents say, listen, we've had school shootings and those cell phones have been really useful in those situation so i've heard parents say that's why i want them to have it. they're not necessarily being like spoiled. pete: can't you put a land line in most school haves a land line in the -- keeping land line in the classroom. will: each classroom. they asked us to ask you guys to e-mail in. you're going to say we all agree. get them out of the classrooms. when is the right time to give a kid a cell phone? pete: love it. you might be right i'm all talk. any young new parent says i'm going to do this and you get broken down by reality. will: taxpayers me right now. will: that's me right now. i'm not sending them to college. trade school. well see. i've got twoer >>s left and see if i'm all talk. pete: it's difficult. will: what's the e-mail? pete: friends@foxnews.com. will: thank you. pete: thank you have you been hosting the show? rachel: i get the e-mail wrong autothe times. will: time for headlines. rachel: we're turning to headlines, a man hunt for the philadelphia prisoner who escaped while on a work detail entering its second day and u.s. marshals are joining the search after the prisoner escaped earlier this week. officials say he climbed over the facility's fence after tell ago guard he had to use the bathroom. authorities mention the inmate recently found out his release was going to be delayed till next year. he's currently serving a sentence for theft and burglary charges and right now vice president kamala harris is in dubai for a meeting for the united nations climate summit. she has her priorities and she's promising billions to fund the organization's climate fund. >> globally the united states is a leader in the effort to expand international climate finance. i'm also proud to announce a new $3 billion pledge to the green climate fund, which helps developing countries invest in resilience, clean energy, and nature-based solutions. rachel: she's sending $3 billion to other countries to control the weather. harris' announcement comes after the biden administration initially pledged less than $18 million to the un's climate fund. are you ready for it? it is the year of taylor swift. streamers can't shake her off. swift has just been named spotify's top streamed artist of 2023 with over 26 billion streams. she could rake in up to $100 million in royalties from the streaming service alone. that's not counting anything else. swift's publicist had to shut down rumors earlier this week after a social media account claimed she and her ex-boyfriend joe allen were secretly married and they say her -- her publicist says not true and those are your headlines. pete: i don't get it and there's some phenomenas that i get and others i done. taylor swift is one that i don't. will: when is garth brooks going to spotify? i can't get him anywhere. he took control of his content. pete: yeah, that just means he's nowhere. will: coming up, santos is out and a seat is say can. what does it mean -- vacant. what does it mean for the balance of power in the house. rachel: asking mike johnson and congresswoman elise stepanik. pete: the va's role in medical care for illegals drawing scrutiny. our next guest is a concerned air force veteran calling for change.

on lawmakers to investigate. air force veteran darren selmik is one of the senior advisers and joining us now. no one knows v a and va healthcare better than you. it's on fox news right now. break down what's happening and is it really the case when someone comes across the border illegally, in some way they're using the va to get healthcare services? >> hey, pete. yeah, it's happening. i found out about this a few weeks ago and it made me mad. everyone i talk to that's a veteran makes them mad. the va mission is to serve veterans not help ice and border patrol and the documents on their website and memo, it's not to help them process medical claims and pay medical claim make it easy for unauthorized migrants to get healthcare and dental care. what is happening is, look, someone that's a former senior adviser in the trump administration at va and adviser at white house, i would have stopped this. it's not right. mission of the va to serve veterans and not unauthorized myograns and what's happening and we have this from the secretary of health and he's put out in a video, which i've seen, hey, make it hard for veterans. make it hard for veterans to go ahead and get community care. but at the same time they are processing for 2022, 161,000 medical claims and paying those claims for unauthorized migrants. meanwhile veterans have a hard time getting healthcare and they're dying because they can't get mental health in a timely manner. they can't get cancer treatment, bills are being sent to them because they're not paying providers on time and making it hard for vet veterans and told s they have to do that and default to the va communicator when you have to and at the same time they're helping border patrol and ice make it easy button. easy button for unauthorized migrants and hard button for veterans and congress needs to investigate this last year and mayorkas sent testimony working with the va to expand this with the medical centers. we don't know how deep this is. got to be investigated. pete: it's insane. that va employee you're talking about said press the easy button less for vets with community care. they're not able to go outside if they're waiting too long. it was a bill passed intentionally to fix what the va is doing so terribly. a source for the story and it's an ice age and a vet talking to fox news digital. he said we se served in the military in the country and have benefits to use in the va and paying an exorbitant amount of taxes to the country and can't get seen for basic needs and illegals can and getting across the board we are preexisting med sal illnesses and they walk into a primary care doctor or specialty care doctor and get whatever services they need and what we're learning now, darin, the va is part of facilitating the reimbursements and payments for this. va denying their involvement and there's a va in front of the process by which the healthcare providers get reimbursed reporter: >> with directions to go to va on ice's website. va documents from ice that they processed at 161,000 medical claims. ice says that every provider that they take the unauthorized migrant to that they the provider has to send their med claims to the va. va is processing them. look, va processes for community care. they should be spending all their time processing the claims for veterans, not for other agencies and not for unauthorized migrants and it's a fact they're doing it and because of that, veterans are suffering and getting bills and providers to leave the system and it's totally corrupt and got to be investigated and be stopped. pete: you're making my blood boil hearing that and considering how difficult for a vet to be seen at a va facility and getting authorized to go outside for care and then reimbursed and the system is so dysfunctional and making that work for vets and they were facilitating payments for illegals in the country to get medical and dental and then the va says nothing to see here. thank you, darin. folks can go to foxnews.com and check out the storm i hope they investigate. thank you. turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for the fox weather first forecast. >> pete, i'm outside without a jacket and it's really nice. temperatures across the eastern sea board and across the map and 47 here in new york, 58 in atlanta and 78 in miami here at 6:30 in the morning and a lot of the south has a drought going on and darker colors around louisiana and mississippi, there's rain coming in and probably over the next couple of months and el nino pattern set up and moisture and bus a lot of drought is good news and it's here on the rain coming in and threat for severe weather around the panhandle of florida and could be a tornado or two and watch for that. maybe a couple of water spouts that come on shore right there as well. so rain maybe 2 to 3 inches and isolated spots across parts of the south and get the idea looking at national satellite picture, there's a lot of moisture out there and we have a big storm, series of storms into the pacific northwest and moisture in the southeast is also going to be heading in towards the northeast throughout the i did today. today we have a different system bringing cloud cover and rain around the great lakes and later on in the day today, we start seeing some of that moisture getting through

turns to new york governor kathy hochul announcing a special election to fill the vacancy. pete: bring in house speaker mike johnson and house republican chairwoman elise stefanik. thank you for being here. >> good morning. pete: love to cover a range of topics and start with what happened on the floor yesterday. the vote on george santos, was that a vote you could control meaning whether it came to the floor or not and both of you voted against expelling him. what do you make of the outcome? >> we couldn't block it. it was a privileged resolution and gets to come to the floor within two days of filing and it was a regrettable day and prior to yesterday, only five people were expelled from congress and three confederates and two convicted of federal charges, and george santos has not been convicted in a court. you know, our party believes in the rule of law and due process, and we're deeply concerned about preserving those things. maybe he will be convicted by a jury of his peers but that hasn't happened and that's why we had reservations about it. will: you both didn't vote to expel santos and to the best of your knowledge and understanding the republicans colleagues on the isle, why did so many vote to oust him in violation of historical precedence and equal application to others with accusations and charges in some cases against them but not convictions? >> i think many of our colleagues looked at ethics committee report and had concerns that this is not befitting of a member of congress. again, my concern was that the lack of due process and it's a very slippery slope when this type of precedent is set. however, the house work its will and we're committed to making sure we hold this seat and the special election will be in february or march and, will, it's important to remember when we have local elections, there's a red wave on long island at the local level and we're very optimistic we'll have a strong candidate to join our republican majority in february or march. rachel: speaker, you couldn't stop this vote and it was called a privileged resolution, but you're the new speaker. i know you probably don't like that you have less of a majority now. you only have three seats so what -- why couldn't you as a team lead, i'm not trying to dump on you but you're the captain to go, come on, team. we need that extra vote and all the reasons that you gave before but it's not just for the sheer raw politics and they don't care about it on the other side. they've got eric swa swallar sleeping with chinese spies and have all these skeletons in their closet. >> yeah, there were some members on the other side making the rule of law argument in favor of expelling because they said what was different about santos is he was alleged to have committed crimes against the institution itself and that's why they felt like this made it a different thing. we had very impassioned views on both sides of that, and we let our views be known to the members and let them do what they d. weariness gown to a three vote margin and difficult to govern on those circumstances and we're optimistic about where we're headed and this team is together and pulling together and we have big things ahead of us and i'm bullish on the future of this. pete: another topic that requires holding the republican conference together as well and that would be the concept of actually formally declaring an impeachment inquiry. thus far it's been just that, an inquiry. based on what's been found, do you as the speaker with that power plan on bring an actual vote on impeachment? >> elise and i served on the impeachment team with donald trump twice when deputies used for brazen and illegal purposes. this is very different. we're the recall of law team and have to do it very me hodically and three committees of jurisdiction -- methodically and they've been doing an extraordinary job following the evidence where it leads and now we're being stone walled by the white house and they're preventing two to three doj withins from coming forward and former white house council and national archives and white house withheld thousands of pages of evidence and formal impeachment vote on the noor allowing us to take to the next necessary step and we have to do at this juncture. will: congressman, help me understand something alaska the impeachment process and proposal to depose hunter biden is something the american people would love to see happen and take place. that's what hunter biden says he wants as well to have this take place open and in the public but there's some desire among republicans to start the process behind closed doors. so why? >> it is important to get a deposition. a deposition is very different than an open hearing for the viewers across america and i've minutes on the democrat side and five minutes on the republican side and becomes a very public pressoopportunity for the deputies to -- press opportunity for the deputies to politicize and we want to go at a legal and factual perspective and only way is through a deposition and i'll remind you, will, this is what democrats said when they refused to allow an open hearing when they made their argument, they wanted a deposition and now trying to make it a counter argument and they're on record saying witnesses should have a deposition and it's unacceptable that hunter biden's attorney said he wants to do an open hearing. the only correct response to this subpoena is a deposition. will: that's a really good thing. glad you explained that to us. trey gowdy talked about that in an open hearing it can turn into a publicity event and you want this like a prosecution and the ability to cross examine. >> it's the precedent for the j6 impeachments of donald trump and every investigation 06 congress in the modern era, the deposition coming first and public testimony follows and why would we break that precedent now? rachel: i'm grateful to you having the promise to release the j6 tapes and some of the tapes coming out seem to champion rate the people that are languishing in jail or being persecuted frankly by the fbi. what will happen now? these tapes are out and some of this is contradicting what that committee, that very bias committee said they deny want to see all the evidence and then what, what about all those people that were just exercising their rights and are now being pursued by the fbi? >> it's a great point. listen, the reason we release the tapes is because the american people deserve to know the truth and we're for transparency and democrats ran around with their hair on fire screaming that this would be the end of the republic and it's the exact opposite. we can trust the american people with the facts and let them draw their own conclusions. some of those people have been denied due process and were exploring avenues on that to assist and a number of members that want to investigate the j6 committee itself for how they might have hidden some of this. we'll see. we're working through all that methodically and at the end of the day to get the facts to the people and let them decide. not let them have partisan politicians trying to present their version of things that happened. that doesn't serve the country. >> i want to say the republican conference and republican members are very proud of the speaker that released the tapes in the fist few weeks of his speakership. rachel: amen to that. i'm impressed with that as well. pete: we have a few more questions for you. would you stick around while we pay some bills here? >> sure. pete: speaker johnson and congresswoman stefanik are sticking with us. don't move a muscle, we'll be right back. after farmer's dog, she's a much healthier

try to repeat some of it. with santos out, you have an even tighter margin. do you have the votes to actually formally start an impeachment process? >> yeah, i believe we will. i suspect no democrat wills assist in this effort but they soul. the facts are so clear for everyone to see. >> 15 ml. we know the biden family received $15 million from china and russia. 16 times on the record joe biden lied about his involvement in the family's business dealings and hunter biden's business dealings and at least 22 times the president met with or talked with you wanter's foreign business associates and checks written to joe biden is $40,000 from china and 200,000 from a bankrupt healthcare company that his brother james biden swindled and you cannot look away and the constitution requires the house to follow the truth where it leads and there's a duty to do this and it won't stop. rachel: i believe when you want to do transparency and you want to be transparent and this conference to act in a transparent way and i can't think of anything less transparent and we cannot figure out where the money is going even in europe, there's conversations all the time about leaders of that government buying villas in france and in greece. this is our money. why -- if you look at the people, they don't really want this war to go on. they want a peace resolution or agreement to happen and get our money and our attention off of this. where are you? you're for the ukraine, let me explain it. >> the pleuralty of the american people in the latest gallop poll says we're spending too much in ukraine and the white house dropped the ball on this. they've not been able to say what the objective is or the end game. oversight over the money and we have the same concerns and nobody wants vladamir putin to prevail and march through europe and most agree might try to go to the ball kins over there we've laid down the line so clear and did it for the white house and president and
