Todd you got the kids. Was your thing absolute mess. Pete total anarchy. Lisa Christmas Presents and unwrapping. Pete want to pretend process you will bring this gift to this person and then it goes haywire and clean it up as it goes along. Kind of takes the fun out of it and running around with a vacuum cleaner. Lisa fun to see the little kids. Forget about the stockings, and they go to the stockings and then that explodes. Todd we had the boring christmases. 27 kids u we will talk about that throughout the course of the morning there is a lot to get to. Pete lisa takes issue that her christmas was boring President Trumps first christmas as commanderinchief officially. Lisa the president spending the long week in honoring the secret service, police officers, and our american troops overseas. Todd Griff Jenkins live in washington, d. C. With more on the president s holiday. Griff President Trump calls it backtowork day. Thats what he is doing in maralago. The president tweeting yesterday i hope everyone is having a great christmas and then tomorrow its back to work in order to make America Great again which is happening faster than anyone anticipated. And as the president and republicans are celebrating that win on tax reform, and feeling emboldened perhaps, the next legislative accomplishment could come as the president signals he wants to tackle infrastructure. A Major Overhaul fixing and upgrading the nations roads, bridges,and tunnels which he believes could finally garner bipartisan support from some democrats you will remember. Democrats resisted on both hurricane and on tax reform. And it says lawmakers face this growing list of pressing issues. Like defense spending, immigration, daca, in that Disaster Relief that didnt get done at the end of the year. Have to avoid Government Shutdown on january 19th. The president while mauling all these things turkey and gravy. Military and local Law Enforcement in the surrounding area who were working on christmas to serve others. One source there was a cop down there called the gesture amazing. Its a great Christmas Day for the president down in maralago but it is back to work and, boy, it is a daunting list of things to tackle when the lawmakers come back. Lisa i look the backtowork day. That was better than what we were come up with. Thats why we need you griff. We need your help. Pete Merry Christmas. Can you still say Merry Christmas the day after. Lisa its all month long. I learned that with birthday celebrations. Pete i was asking the producers have previous producers done what the president did giving a meal to secret Service Agents and deputies . I dont think so because previous president s dont own an entire resort at maralago. When you only the place, lets give the ballroom to the guys serving us. Had it open all day 2 until night. Nice gesture for the men and women who protect us. Todd have you seen this guy . Lisa i have done food seeing you meants with him. Todd i think gesture to the world if you will and not many of the world like it right now, america is saying who cares we are leading other nations. 10 are ready to follow after the u. S. Announces the Israeli Embassy move, israel now in talks with 10 more countries to do the same. We know about guatemala. There are rumors that honduras is involved in this now. It begs the question to you guys because you guys have gotten in the weeds on this. Why does this matter . Why does this other 10 countries joining in matters so much to what we present to the world. Lisa i think demonstrates u. S. Leadership and what that means around the globe. Only in washington, d. C. , we have had president obama, we have had president clinton and president george w. Bush, all of these past president s say they want to move the embassy to jerusalem. We had congress overwhelming and overwhelmingly support funding for this in 1995 which has continuously been affirmed six months ago unanimously. I cant talk. But unanimously. Only in washington, d. C. Does it become controversial because its President Trump. Pete America First doesnt have to mean america alone. America leads and the rest of the world following. For years we have been told that the socalled Israeli Palestinian conflict was the sewers of all the angst in the middle east. Its why everyone hates us. Its a total fallacy. The left has perpetuated that victim class. Jerusalem has long been and is the eternal capital of israel. U. S. Did the common thing in recognizing it. Which has been our policy for decades. World said this is a reality. Few come with us. Israel is acknowledging 10 more from every con continue negligent. All continents are looking at this. But its a slow recognition of whats actually happening. And it may change the actual socalled peace dynamic because we are recognizing the truth on the ground. Todd i love so much about how we have acted right now. We are going to put our money where our mouth is 128 countries said we dont like this move. Do you know what we did . We said we are going to step up here on the budget and get rid of 285 from the overall budget while simultaneously slashing how much we contribute. We contribute 22 of the operating budget. And 28. 5 to a separate budget for peace keeping. Think about those numbers. Based upon that there should be four countries in the world of which we are one. That is not the case. Nikki haley went out there and said look, we are not going to be pushed around any longer. We are going to stand up for ourself and this is what she had to say. She said we will no longer let the generosity of the American People be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. You can be sure well look at ways to increase the u. N. s efficiency while protecting our interests. I ask you, how is this going to be taken . Lisa this is important. As you mentioned, we are the one that pay the bulk of the u. N. s budget. Here are these countries try to slap us in the face with President Trumps announcement to move the embassy. So why are we going to continue to be the barrier of the u. N. Budget if they are going to treat us this way and we are a sovereign nation. We have the right to decide where we are going to have our u. S. Embassy. I say amen to the ambassadors decision here. Pete to your question, todd, how will it be taken . My answer is who cares . We lead the world. We get to decide where our tax dollars go. If its going to go to assess pool u. N. Use that body bludgeon us and israel. Why would we continue to do business as usual. Occasionally i troll President Trumps twitter account to read. Go back to december 26, 2016, the president elect tweeted this the United Nations has such Great Potential right now its just a club for people to get together, talk, and have a good time. So sad. The reality is its a body that likes to talk a lot. In that talk they love to impugn the west. They love to impugn powerful countries. Why should we fund our own indictment to the level we are right now. Got bless nikki haley and President Trump for standing up to this body. Lisa more good news. The historic tax reform legislation signed into law. We have seen a retail christmas boon. Shoppers and retailers are feeling that christmas cheer. What do you make of this, pete . Pete i think people have a ton of optimism. I think they are anticipating that their salaries will go up and wages will go up in the future. Listen, there is a sense and i think President Trump has helped induce this that america is back. That we should be optimistic. A lot of this is on the margins but a very good indication. Lisa optimism does have a huge rol role in this. We have seen Companies Like at t and comcast to ability to pay bonuses to employees and investments they are going to makes a well. Comcast 50 billion over the next five years. At t 1 billion. Clearly they are feeling the optimism of the tax reform law and how thats going to impact them as businesses. Todd its always about the economy, stupid. If you get. Lisa nobody at home is stupid. Todd you are all very, very smart. Speaking of smart. Lisa nice transition to jillian. Todd jillian helped me buy all my gifts for my wife. She crushed it. Jillian you are not supposed to admit that. Todd so thank you again. Jillian im glad i could help.

But its unclear why at this point. Now, this comes days after the u. N. Issued new sanctions against the country. Something dictator kim jong un called an act of war.

Well, it wasnt prettiy, but the Philadelphia Eagles now have Home Field Advantage throughout the nfl playoffs. That one heading down the middle and good with 2. Jillian thats good.

A political fight by your presence how worried should would he be and are we prepared. General of all active forces in afghanistan. Author of a brand new book called direct fire. He joins us now. Thanks for being here this morning. I appreciate it, pete. Pete commodore of the marine corps makes comments like this. We may be at war soon. How far should military members take that and how should the general public take that . Readiness matters. These marines deployed over the holidays, he is making sure that they understand they are part of a flexible deterrent option in europe to prevent russian hegemony in the region. Speaking broader secretary mattis was down at fort bragg talking to the pair troopers down there. There are storm clouds brewing over the korean peninsula. Your readiness will help us prevent war and old peace through strength thing that president reagan used to talk bought time. We think about diplomatic, informational, military and economic elements of national power. This is the military and information element of national power. Pete you use the word flexible deterrent which i understand. Most folks hear the word war. What could that mean and where could it be if you were to place bengally here and say the likely flash points where are . North korea because we are on converging Railroad Tracks or maybe heading at one another. The information piece is happening. Diplomat being piece is happening. Diplomatic piece is happening. We are doing Response Options flying across with b 1 bombers and all of that my concern is that a mistake is made. North korean meg shoots at a b 1 u. S. B 1 bomber. Something like that. Annual act of war. Match thrown out the window and starts a forest fire. Pete we just sent more weapons to Ukrainian Forces fighting some of the russian separatists. Any concerns there. I think the big issue is that president obama did nothing about crimea. Did nothing about ukraine. And so now i think President Trump with new National Security its very good. You read it. I have read it very good. Talks about peace through strength and power projection and pursuing the enemy of a its core where they are. Thats what i think we are doing in europe and southwest asia and korea. Trying to protect the American People, which is a fundamental principle. Pete speaking of pursuing the enemy your new book direct fire is out yesterday or tonight. This morning. Pete you have a background in awful these things. This your eighth book. Tell us about direct fire. Direct fire is about cyber warfare it happens here in the United States. Eastern europe and russia are, you know, hacking and so forth. It directly gets.

And, you know, its about cyber warfare and suspension. Pete we have to leave it right there. Thank you very much. Appreciate it never trumper. Senator jeff flake not ruling out a rub for 2020 and making a bold prediction about a challenge to President Trump. If he continues on the path that he is on, thats going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for something else. Pete is senator flake under estimating the base th of support for the president .

I dont see a possum pete news continues, quick headlines for you. Russian president Vladimir Putins biggest challenger ever now barred from running against him. Russian officials voting unanimously that he is unfit to run due to fraud convictions or the fact that the country is run by a dictator. This is a all a employee to keep putin in power. Calling for supporters to boycott the march vote. Putin is expected to win easily a fourth term because he controls the entire country. A holiday fireworks celebration goes terribly wrong. Take a look. I dont know a lot about fireworks but that doesnt look good. At least 22 people including six children, unfortunately burned in central cuba when those fireworks started of exploding uncorollaably. Display part of a traditional Christmas Eve celebration in that country. Todd, over to you. Todd thanks, senator flake claiming President Trump has something to worry about in 2020. Take a listen. I do believe if the president is running for reelection, if he continues on the path that he is on. That thats going to leave a huge swath of voters looking for something else. He is probably indicting a republican challengininvite agol but certainly an independent challenge. Todd here to debate is former advisor for Hillary Clinton campaign and Fox News Contributor jehmu green and joe borelli. Thank you so much for joining us on this day after christmas. Jehmu i will begin with you, do you think jeff flake is right . I think certainly given the almost records low Approval Ratings that President Trump has and what were seeing as far as the Enthusiasm Gap that is facing g. O. P. Candidates across the board, that it doesnt take Rocket Science to know that theres going to be an independent challenger and probably one of these never trump republicans challenging him as well. If i were a betting person, i think that person is actually senator jeff flake himself, especially after he talked about in that very rousing speech about the reckless, outrageous and undignified behavior of this president. Todd joe, what say you . Do you see Enthusiasm Gap . I dont think jeff flake is retiring due to higher calling. Is he stepping down due to lower polling. Is he not someone astute enough to see that the republican brand that donald trump bringing in was going to be the driver in 2016. The real thing to jehmus point is back in 2010. Barack obama was polling around the low 80s amongst democrats. And people dismissed as ridiculous claims that someone like Hillary Clinton could possibly run against him in his second term. And i think we should be dismissing as equally ridiculous the claims that someone even a never trumper is going to be running against President Trump. Whats the argument coming from a fiscal conservative . We have lowered taxes on the middle class, lowered taxes. Whats the message for social conservatives . We very a social supreme consere Supreme Court with judge gorsuch. There is no opening for a never trumper like jeff flake or anyone else. Todd jehmu, i want to ask you a quick question here. Joe cited statistics on the Obama Administration. According to a recent gallup poll 82 of the g. O. P. Supported the president. Dolls your theory comport with that . Look, i think that what we are seeing, certainly if you look at alabama, the results there, and we started to see that in virginia, that some of that trump support that put him in to the white house in 2016 is going to chip away. Lets look at the votes of white women in alabama, for example, where still the republican candidate was able to win those votes but by a much less drastically much less margin than previous candidates. And so when you start to see that coalition start to crumble, those are concerning signs that i think the president s political advisors are probably paying close attention to. Look, we just have the president not give a final press conference because he was so concerned about the questions he would have to answer around the russia investigation. Thats not thats a troubling sign for any sitting president. Todd a few moments ago, jehmu on this very program i said its all about the economy and said stupid. I dont mean anybody is stupid but thats the famous line. Joe, i leave you the last word. Arent we going to be in a situation in 2018 where people have gotten these huge bumps in their paychecks since february. They go to the ballot box and they say my pocketbook is better. Im going to vote with my pocketbook. Come february when withholding tables are done. Every american is going to see an extra 70, 80, 90 in by weekly paychecks. How are republicans going to make that case against President Trump. Its laughable and really on behalf of republicans i want to to never trumpers just go away. Go away for 2018 and leave it up to people who want to take on the democrats and advance the republicans agenda. Todd we have to goo way way right now. Very peaceful debate on the day after christmas. Thank you very much. Union woman says United Airlines gave her seat to Sheila Jackson lee. How the airlines is trying to explain this one. The Holiday Season may be merry but it also may be very dangerous for your health. Next, dr. Saphier is in with how you can avoid the most common problem. How did you spend christmas . Maybe in front of the tv like me . Watching what you america said is the number one christmas movie. I disagree. More photos from our christmas gatherings and yours coming up next. My 3month old business. Plus. What if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Grand parents. Looks good. Here is findlay dressed in his christmas best. That was all of us yesterday. Pete thats too much eggnog there. Lisa im pretty sure this is reenactment of my family from yesterday.

Lisa we have buck sexton with us now to answer some of these questions. You know, buck, what do you make about these rumors that he may retire . What are your i think the top ranks of the fbi are preparing for whats going to be a very difficult 2018. We have some clear indications of that with first of all mccabe egg stepping down early. Even bigger is the notion that they will not answer questions that they clearly have answers to. They are saying its because an Inspector General investigation. This all centers around thes to yea, the time line of events stretch from the Hillary Clinton email investigation all the way through into president day russia collusion investigation. They are being asked questions behind closed doors. We are not getting the full accepts of what was said and not said. We do know they are withholding information. Pete you refer to that two committees that grilled andrew mccapable for seven and a half hours last week. Late last week into the christmas weekend. He announced that he is likely going to retire in march. He is the deputy fbi director. Worked for james comey. He was the acting director. He was referred to as andy in the text between peter truck and lisa page for insurance policy potentially if trump gets elected. He was involved in the clinton email investigation. This is a man who would be involved in any antitrump bias going on. He would tell people if asked and most likely explanation he would give he cant do his senior role at the fbi the same way if he is going to be in the center of a firestorm which he is definitely going to be in 2018. Asked things who funded the dossier. Did the fbi pay for the dossier and they dont give an answer because they say there is ongoing investigation. It means when we do find this stuff out i think there will be tough days for the bureaus. Lisa what about what role the dossier played in the fbis fisa warrant what role do you think it played and what is the impact of that . Another one of these questions to which the fbi would definitely have an answer but doesnt want to share an answer with us. And this is why i think you are seeing some of the people that are so involved in all of these different stages of the investigations getting ready for what is going to be a spotlight on them thats going to make sure that they cant do the rest of their jobs. Mccabe is at the top of that list. Todd buck, how forthcoming does mccabe have to be if he is not working for the fbi. He would have to be under oath and tell the truth about everything that he could. Its just a question whether its in open forum or behind closed doors because of classified information. The moment you are talking about fisa warrants, by the way, that will be very sensitive closely held stuff. As we get the answers to this though, what we really want to know was the dossier which you all are quite aware clinton funded Opposition Research development the basis for weaponizing the Intelligence Community against a Political Campaign as it was happening. This would be people have been talking about the russia collusion. This would be the greatest scandal of my lifetime. Todd the fbi is reporting further the potential problem. I think they are trying to manage the message here, pete. They should at this point say look we havent been able to find anything on this. It looks like its pretty shady. There is a sense that the fbi is protecting the dossier is true. Why would they do that unless they had vested interest not being complete nonsense which i think it is. Todd buck sexton with always amazing advice. Merry christmas by the way. Lisa merry post christmas. Todd boxing day, lisa booth. We build a wall. [laughter] todd no laughing this morning. That student is back with a huge update. You are going to love it. Pete all Rosie Odonnell wanted for christmas was a new twitter war. New target . House Speaker Paul Ryan. We will play out how that went i got nobody to blame but me when a cold calls. Achoo . Answer it. With zicam cold remedy. It shortens colds, so you get better, faster. Colds are gonna call. Answer them with zicam zicam. Get your better back. Now in delicious fruit drops. Hello there friend hi hey there. Im an Imaginary Friend of a kid just like you. Youre going through a lot right now and i know youre scared. But youre stronger than you know. But look, well get through this together. And remember. We at the Imaginary Friends society always have your back expand the government so you will not be able to do anything. She will likely create a dress code for you all. She will raise taxes. [laughter] what i propose is that we build a wall between you and the sebastian. And make sebastian pay for it. Pete we covered this on fox friends a while back. Remember the High School Student disqualified running for student body president channeled President Trump in stump speech. Lisa he told us ba it back in june. Take a listen. I thought it was completely outrageous. I never thought this speech could ever evolve in what it has become really. It was completely a joke from the beginning and completely satirical. Pete since his appearance on our show and because of it he is now actually the senior class president. He joins us now with update. J. P. Thanks for being here. Lisa president krause. I stand corrected. We ran knew at turning point u. S. A. Conference. He said remember me on your show . I actually got the presidency because of what you did on fox friends. You were initially blocked because they said your statement was too negative about your opponent, even though yo you were joking around. Then they reinstated you to the victory you had erntiond. How did thaearned. How did that happen. About a week after you had me on the show the superintendent reinstated the results of the election. Because of that show, we actually i would say it was the main reason why i got back on as a senior class president. And then it took another week of pressure from my family and Pacific Legal to actually get the harassment record expunged from my record. Lisa j. P. , obviously that would have been bad for your future. What did the school say to you. Whats what the explanation to you . For the harassment . Lisa no. For one, for not letting you be the student president just for the actions that they originally took. What was their explanation . Yes. The school actually claimed that i harassed my opponent in my speech. You can see it. I am unable to really find where i quote, unquote, harled my opponent in that speech. Pete last time i checked you may have a lot of power as the senior class president i dont believe can you raise taxes by 80 . Not clear you are going to be able to build a wall between your school and the rival school. Maybe a dress code. So clearly you are tongue in cheek. You are joking around here. You win the election. They take it away. How has your presidency gone so far . Its gone smoothly actually since then. We have gotten homecoming stuff done. We have a close motto, our class flower, actually. Everything has been great since the since i have been reinstated actually. Pete you might say you are making vero beach great again . I dont mean to toot my own horn but. Lisa the best class president ever, right . Pete thats right. Have you cut taxes and have you built the wall . I want to know this is going to be a results based president. Lisa working on it. Trying to cut taxes and get funding for the wall. Its hard to get it through our student congress. Steve its those never crowders. Thekrauseers. Drain the swamp. Pete we appreciate your time j. P. Or mr. President. Thank you. Pete former utah congressman Jason Chaffetz texas congressman Louie Gohmert and ed stein notable quotables all here next. I dont want to work i want to bang on the drum all play i dont want to play i just want to bang on the drum all day what is this . When we love someone, we want to do right by them.

Its back to work after spending christmas with the first family in maralago. The president tweeting yesterday, i hope everyone is having a great christmas. Then tomorrow its back to work in order to make America Great again. Which is happening faster than anyone anticipated and as the president and republicans celebrate the win on tax reform, the next legislative accomplishment could come in the form of infrastructure. President says he wants to tackle a Major Overhaul of fixing and upgrading the nations roads, bridges and tunnels which he believes could finally garner bipartisan support from democrats. In the meantime, the white house says the president has invited House Speaker paul ryan and Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell to camp david in january to make sure they are all on the same page in 2018. This as lawmakers face a growing list of pressing issues like defense spending, immigration. You see the wall there and Disaster Relief. First, they have to avoid that government shut down threat on january 19th. And also, while the president was on vacation, christmas in maralago. He was feeding with the first lady hundreds of meals, including turkey and grave for secret service, military members, local Law Enforcement folks in the surrounding area who were working Christmas Day. One source close to Law Enforcement calling the gesture amazing. Guys . Lisa thank you, griff. We appreciate it. Pete as i said in the previous hour i dont think other president s have owned hotels and resorts. Cant just open up their ballroom. Only one scoop for them two scoops for the president. Lisa some interesting news here. President trump, as you guys listened at home, President Trump and the Trump Administration got a lot of criticism for announcing they are going to move the embassy in israel to jerusalem. Well, guess what, guys . Other nations are now following suit. So, there has been an announcement that israel is in talks with at least 10 or more countries that are planning on doing the same. So, President Trump got a lot of heat for that. Now everybody else is doings same thing or at least 10 different countries. Pete guatemala is one name. What is the other . Lisa honduras. Pete israel acknowledges they are in talks from 10 other countries who are in talks from moving their embassy to jerusalem. This is about America First. Its not leadership to vote against this. Leadership is take bold step long been u. S. Official policy. No one in washington will actually follow through and do it. When you do that people will say wow, america is recognizing reality on the ground u america is recognizing that jerusalem has always been the internal capital of jewish people and israel. By moving our embassy that will create magnet effect in that region to acknowledge reality. I think actually open up the opportunity for resolution there. Whatever that looks like. And if i can can i haley and President Trump have done a nice job with that. Lisa President Trump was also doing something that president clinton said he wanted to do. Prish said he wanted to do that president obama said he wanted to do that Congress Said they wanted to happen. He was simply following through on what so many people had originally promised. Ed to to have had to petes point what i love about this it sort of tells the world we are going to lead this way. We are not going to listen to what the nay sayers say. We will step up and this is what is good for america. Speaking of which nicly haley had this to say with trimming u. N. Budget and not so u. S. Depend dent. We will no longer get the generosity of the American People be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. You can be sure we will look at ways to increase thes official is i while protecting our interests. In the first six minutes we have hit two things. The u. S. Said its moving its embassy in israel and were going to store of streamline the u. N. Thats the u. S. Taking action. Decide what the rest of the world has malaive. Lisa seeing the Trump Administration follow through with actions regarding some of the criticisms that the u. N. Has long seen. Right . As i mentioned before all these president s say they want to move the beems to israel. Guess what . President trump is doing it we have had so many people criticize the u. N. For one antiisrael bias for, you know, failing to follow through on some of their promises and now the Trump Administration is taking action by saying were going to roll back some of the funds that were giving you. Todd these two issues are very linked after we said we were going to do it the u. N. Had vote tried to shame america. Nikki haley used that opportunity and others to say not only does the u. N. Not represent us, but we are going to pull back on our budget if it doesnt represent our interest. Thats the nugget. 285 million cut from the contribution to the u. N. Alan dershowitz was on this show yesterday and made some news with his comments on it. Take a listen. I think terrific. Its about time we sent a message to the u. N. , which has become a place of hate. When it comes to the United States and israel. What President Trump did was to restore balance and everybody should have recognized that and that vote at the Security Council and the General Assembly should be responded to and nikki haley, who has become a real hero, did exactly the right thing and its the first of many steps, i think she will take to bring the United Nations back to where it ought to be a neutral arbiter of peace, not a place of hatred. Israel is the only democracy in the middle east. Americas strongest ally in the middle east and the United States and other countries ought to be supportive. Todd after that vote to condemn the u. S. For moving our embassy to jerusalem. Nikki haley stood up and said we are taking notes. Were going to remember who voted that way and also not only does america have the most powerful military in the world. We have the biggest wallet in the world. We will use that wallet and we would that wallet. Why will wield that wallet as necessary. Why should our dollars flow to an organization that hates us or hates our allies. It once served an interest. Those who believe in sovereignty and America First. Love whats happening at the u. N. Right now. Or at the very least what is not happening. Why dont we Pay Attention to them . When is the last time they enforced a resolution without asking for help called the measure military . That should major it happen. This is an important critique of this happening under the administration. Lisa there has long been criticism of the u. N. And antiisrael bias as well. One thing important to keep in mind. 100 senators signed a letter back in april to the u. N. Secretary expressing that concern of saying, look, this antiisrael bias is not okay. And expressing that concern as well. Now we see nikki haley taking action. You know, and rolling back some of those funds. Pete easy to write a letter. Tougher to do it. The Trump Administration actually doing it. Todd go to the twitter war rosrosie vs. Ryan. Its a beautiful message at the end of each year no matter how short or long it may feel there is always christmas waiting for us is that sense of wonder, the shepards felt when the angels appeared in the night sky to herald the birth of a savior. I read that nicely. Now i will do rossi her tweet in response. Paul ryan, dont talk about jesus after what you just did to our nation. You will go straight to hell, you screwed up, fake altar boy judas much . Lisa feel like you have been practicinged ited to one i used to say on this couch remember when comedians used to be funny. Rosie used to be a groundbreaking comedian in the 190s and 190s. Not so much now. This tax plan matters to those people with that 50 to 75,000 category. Those individuals are expecting to get an average of around 875 back starting in 2018. That Money Matters if i are living maybe not in the elite coast. Pete of course. Lisa Rosie Odonnell, she is just grasping for attention here. Because she also mixed it up with ben shapiro, daily wire. Sent him some obscene things on twitter as well. She has been out of the spotlights for quite some time now. Whats the last thing that she did . I cant even remember. Pete she got mentioned in the debate by President Trump. Rosie odonnell. His list this is how she is staying relevant with nasty and just disgusting tweets. Pete why are liberals so angry . Its christmas. Why you got to be so angry. Liberals are so angry. Be grateful one day off from twitter to appreciate christmas. Why do you have to always impugn the motives . Why does paul ryan have to go to hill . Lisa nicer note and happier note we have jillian here. Whats the headline . Jillian you guys are so nice to me today. Lisa we love you. Jillian i will keep coming back. Lisa the christmas spirit. Jillian good morning to you at home. A packed jetblue flight skids off the runway coming in for a landing in boston. The plane flipping and spinning 180 degrees before finally coming to rest. Passengers say it felt like the plane was doing donuts. Praised the pilot and crew for how they handled the situation. Everyone on board the flight from georgia safely evacuated. The plane had to be toe towed to the terminal. Millions of americans head back home after christmas. The boston Logan International airport also impossible to see through a blanket of snow. And more than 21 inches of snow hitting erie, pennsylvania. Breaking a Christmas Day record. And drivers in st. Louis, missouri, navigating slick roads for their holiday commuted. Be careful if you are headed out. How about this . A little boy bringing christmas cheer to local heroes. Florida deputy sharing this picture with a boy named jacob giving him a home made wooden american flag. Jacob said his plan was to drive around on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and give flags to any Law Enforcement officers he saw. Im assume he couldnt drive himself. Maybe he could drive one of those motorized carts. Pete power wheels 4 miles per hour. I like it. Thanks. President Trumps Administration track cracking down on ms13. To any member of ms13 listening, i have a message for you. We will find you and we will throw you the hell out of the country. Pete we will find you. A new report says the gang is menacing a Community Just miles from the white house.

We will find you. We will throw you the hell out of the country. Todd president continues to crack down on ms13 gang members. According to a new report, the gangs presence continues to grow unfortunately just a few miles away from the white house right there in maryland. Lisa joining us now with his take and some possible solutions is Frederick County, maryland sheriff chuck jenkins. Hi, sheriff, im actually from the area. This is something that im very familiar with i wanted to talk to you President Trump has made an issue of giving a voice to the victims of ilLegal Immigration. We also saw a knew the Washington Post feature doing the same and talking about particularly one woman whose 18yearold son was murdered in retribution. Had gone to the police officers. How important in your estimation is it to give a voice to the victims of ilLegal Immigration and particularly the violent ms13 . Very important. We have seen a trend over the past couple of years where increasing violence, even if their own communities through savage, terrible savage crimes. Intimidation. Threats against our own communities. So its very important that the message get out that this is a problem. Nationwide. Not only in l. A. And your bigger cities but all throughout america. Todd sheriff jenkins along those lines i want to put up numbers here. More than 10,000 members nationally of ms13. Approximately 1,000 members there in maryland. So, sheriff jenkins, i have to ask this question. How county strongest country in the world that has won wars all over the globe not be able to protect itself from 10,000 people that are in a gang . First of all, there is many more than 10,000 nationwide u secondly, we have to get serious. We have to get tough. We have to treat this group as we would any other terrorist group. Because thats exactly what they are. We have to be proactive. We have to be aggressive. Im all about the president s message. Get strock, ge strong, get toug. Department of justifiable all ought to come down and say we are going to treat this group as a terrorist organization. Not set back and let this group terrorize our communities. Lisa sheriff, as we see this increased presence of ms13, do you feel like, are you getting the tools, are you getting what you need from the federal government . Do you feel like there is an increased partnership there. Yes. But let me tell you where it lacks. It lacks at the local level because state leaders, state elect you had officials, local Law Enforcement does not have the will to step up and work with ice. In Frederick County where im from, we have a wonderful program. We cooperate with ice and out 287 g program and we deport criminal aliens. We dont allow them to terrorize our citizens. Todd sheriff jenkins, great point. When i was out with ice agents a couple months ago in new jersey they said they are so frustrated by the local Law Enforcement getting in their way and not helping out. Naturally getting in their way from doing their job. Unbelievable dichotomy we have going on in the country right now. We appreciate you coming on and helping us figure this out. Lisa we appreciate the job you are doing to keep people safe. It takes a will it take as will. Todd thank you, sir. Lisa thank you, sir. Todd disturbing new terrorist threat the target . Your new years eve celebration. Lisa maybe you didnt get quite what you wanted for christmas, take a listen. Raach, these are for you. Wiper blades. I dont even have a car. Lisa hopefully not that we have. So best tips for you guys making returns and the best post christmas deals. You are not going to want to miss that silver bells silver bells its christmas time in the city in the modern world, it pays to switch things up. You can switch and save time. [cars honking] [car accelerating] you can switch and save worry. You can switch and save hassle. [vacuuming sound] and when you switch to esurance, you can save time, worry, hassle and yup, money. In fact, drivers who switched from geico to esurance saved hundreds. So you might want to think about pulling the ol switcheroo. Thats auto and Home Insurance for the modern world. Esurance. An allstate company. Click or call. Pete the numbers are all pleased up which means is now time for news by the numbers. First, 284 billion, thats how much a pennsylvania woman thought she owed her Power Company for keeping her Christmas Lights on. Look at that number. Turns out it was online mistake and statement was adjusted to the correct amount of 284. They just added a couple billion. Second, 337 million. Thats how high the power ball jackpot has reached. No one has matched saturdays winning numbers. Now surprise, it has rolled over. Finally 18 billion. Thats how much money people spend on unwanted Christmas Gifts for family and friends. I have got to be that number to be higher. The survey claims average american receives at least one unwanted present with 46 of them being clothes, especially for kids or accessories. Lisa speaking of that. You didnt get what you wanted for christmas . These are for you. Wiper blades. [laughter] i dont even have a car. No. But with this new car smell you will think you do. Todd dont worry we have the top tips for exchanging for items you do want. Pete here what you need to know is retail analyst. Good morning. Thanks for having me. Pete we got a few things we dont necessarily like. We are grateful for them. Always 8s thought that counts. Its amazing. Pete not every time. Talking about 16 billion worth of gives given. 60 billion of those out of everything thats going to be spent, returned today and going into january. So i have a little road map for people that are going out there now to go. Lisa what if you want to return . You have to know what the return policy is. Because you dont you might assume that you have a couple months. You know, up to a year. Each store is different. Make sure that you know that return policy. And you also want to make sure that you have, you know, with gifts, obviously giving a gift receipt. I dont know but, my handbag is just an amalgamation. You probably dont have handbags. Todd my wifes handbag is a disaster. I take pictures of receipts i have that go in stores. Lisa thats a good idea. Here in the United States we dont negotiate. Lets say you dont have the receipt. Its fine. Everywhere else in the world people negotiate go into retailers. Go in the store and negotiate if you dont have that receipt. Pete big retailers will cut you a deal. Sure. Listen. My last tip go in the morning. Its always everyone is happier in the morning but always be nice. You cant go in there and just assume you are going to get great deal if you dont have your receipt. Always come in with a smile. Todd ed to you highlighted the indoen sis tenancies in terms of return policies. Start with the best one. Talk about openended policy. That means you can go in there years later and return anything. L lbean one of them. Nordstrums. Also bed, bath, and beyond has a really good openended return policy. Im sorry, bath and body works as well as lands end. Todd what about ones up to a year. Amazon, zappos also has these up to a year. Macys as well. A lot of these retailers have up to a year. Pete this shocks me. I can get something on christmas and wait until october and return it . For specific stores. There is also other stores. For example, i went into best buy the other day. They told me i had until january. They realized i was quote elite shopper. I guess my husband is going in there and buying electronics. I now have jl january 15th. Todd kohls and amazon the end of january. Kohls and amazon at the end of january. Pete amazon is a big one. A lot of people buy it online. 80 of people were buying gifts on mobile devices according to paypal. That was a lot of big spend online. Lisa some people include receipts in the gifts they give. Some people dont. What do you do if they didnt include a receipt and you dont like the gift and want to return it. Go in there and negotiate. You just come with us. No, no, no. Go into a store and negotiate and say hey, listen. Obviously they have bar codes on those products so they can research, scan it, you know. Todd bed, bath,and beyond carters ones you dont need to bring any paperwork. Bed, bath, and beyond lawsuit the best in terms of return policy. They are very liberal when it comes to that. His lives im all about the deals. I dont know about you guys. Im always trying to deal post christmas where do you go . If only we could gift after christmas. If you go into a macys some of the payroll especially outer wear, if you are going for a coat around 100. Get it discounted up to 70 off. Same thing with amazon. Looking at 10 to 70 off of deals and also old navy. 74 off. That is literally a fire sale. I was just was in there the other day. Lisa should we just start writing ious this is the gift you are going to get post christmas . People who you love are cool with it, i say you know what . Why not . Todd next year lisa and i are going to exchange december 29th. Lisa todd can be hey, honey, this is what im going to give you. Pete who literally lisa im going to go now knowing all this. Get the product even though its good to see you. Todd who could forget when the president said. This roll tape. Wouldnt you love to see one of these nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag and say get that [bleep] off the field right now, out. Hes fired. Pete hes fired is how it finish you had. Was the president s feud with the nfl the biggest sports story of the year . That list just revealed. Todd kevin flake says a democrat may against the white house in 2020. Jason chaffetz weighs in when fox friends returns fire watch this madness oh, sorry im late, sir. When you said you were at the doctor, but your shirt says you were at a steakhouse. Thats when you know its halfwashed. Add downy odor protect with 24hour odor protection. Downy and its done. Simply having a wonderful christmas time. Todd your photos pouring in on this day after christmas like this one from jim. Wow, featuring a very doggy christmas. Of course. Lisa i love that. I have a dog. Also a very whimsical christmas for pams family chose to switch traditional colors with the pink and green. Livening things up. Todd pete asked for it another fox friends viewer good thing im the only one who has to look at this mess. Nevertheless, fox friends on. Specifically Griff Jenkins. Lisa have you an eagle eye. Pete fox news corinther and g. O. P. Congressman Jason Chaffetz heading to church with his wife before opening presents. He has a long arm if thats a selfie. I think someone else took it great photos. There he is as well. It appears opening up a frame with a very festive colors and dog ego derly watchinwatch. Lisa i have met his wife julie and she is lovely. There is the congressman right there. Todd how was your christmas, sir . Thanks. I had all the family together. That was the best. Top it off by getting to wear my red reindeer pants. Doesnt get any better than that. Lisa i hear there is a baby on the way in the family. Tell us about that. Yes. Can you believe it . Our daughter is actually pregnant. And she is due in february. So, we wanted i wanted to unwrap that present early but we will wait another two months. Todd you will be the youngest looking grand pa i have seen in my life. So dignified. Todd speaking of dignity see in 2018 if democrats can restore theirs. The president has come forward and said he wants to work on infrastructure. He just had a tweet minutes ago. I believe we have it dialed up. Let me read it for you. First we are reading it as well. Based on the fact very unfair and up unpopular mandate has been terminated as part of our tax cut bill which essentially repeals over time obamacare. Democrats and republican also eventually come together and develop a great new heck plan. The president is bullish on infrastructure and also it now sounds bullish on a Healthcare Plan working with democrats. These folks resisted him for an entire year. Is there hope for any bipartisanship . We know they like to spend money. We are spend 1 billion or florida and other parts for the hurricane. Where are you going to get all this money to do infrastructure. Remember, oklahoma tried to do 787 billiondollar Infrastructure Program but the problem is a very, very small percentage of that actually went to roads, bridges and infrastructure. So its not an easy equation, especially when you have to get to 60 votes in the senate. Lisa congressman, what if democrats dont join republicans. Resistance that they have been doubling down on. Not joining republicans with tax reform. Democrats are pointing to wins in virginia and alabama as signs they have momentum in 2018. Are you concerned for republicans . No. Look. Republicans need to keep putting victories up and explaining to the American People what they are fighting for. I think the tax reform was a good example. They wont allow the American People their own money to keep their own money in their own wallets. Somehow democrats think thats armageddon. It is much tougher to get to 60. Interesting if Mitch Mcconnell uses the socalled Nuclear Option saying look if we are going through the appropriation process we only have to get to 50. That decision will be on his shoulders. Democrats want to spend money you have to cut somewhere folks. You cant keep spending 4. 2 trillion in 2018. Todd one salary appears to be off the books appears to be Andrew Mccabe starting in 2018. New report out the fbi says trup russian collusion. My question for you this 17 months after relearned dossier. Why would you brief members of the fbi before verifying the existence of collusion and really taint the entire fbi in the process . Well, that is the sim no seml question. If we trey gowdy foreshadowed came before the House Intel Committee and said he probably wont last the week. Now the reports are out he is going to try to retire soon. He has some mark is he trying to get to in order to maximize retirement benefits. The dossier we have long known is bogus. The question is how was it funded . That question was not answered yet. Second question is did they use it to go to a court and get that court then to allow them to spy on americans and if that happens, have you gone well, way, way beyond anything of reason and somebody, somebody should be prosecuted for that. Lisa some, staying on that topic as the former chairman of the oversight committee, there has been this allegation that the fbi who said that they cant verify the dossier potentially used that onto obtain a fisa warrant. In your estimation, do you think thats the case . Well, based on what we have seen, if its bogus, and how is it funded . If those things are both in the negative category. And it was used. Now, remember, before the senate before the house judiciary committee, congressman jim jordan, ron desantis, other people were asking, how was this funded . And you had people at the senior most level at the department of justice saying well, we know but were not going to tell you. How you cannot tell the committee of jurisdiction . Thats a flashing red light that it was funded through more nefarious ties. Perhaps with the clinton campaign. Pete a lot of questions that will come out in 018 i presume. Got to get you on it topic. Jeff flake made some comments saying that trumps policies or conduct is invite ago republican challenger for 2020. The question i had for you is he underestimating the Republican Base . You and i would go out and talk to groups all the time. I dont see where the jeff flake, Mitch Mcconnell constituency is. Amongst the baste, there is a lot of love for what President Trump has done. Where would his voters come from . Well, rook at the last big vote with the tax reform. You know, it may be jeff flake plus one, you know, for a table of two. Its not a big growing group at this point. I love jeff flake. He is a very good friend of mine. I interact with him regularly. There is a lot of support and i think we need to make sure and not make it too personal just stick to the issues and there is a lot to like there is a lot coming together. Finally by the end of the year they have actually learned to work together. Even jeff flake voted for the tax bill. Pete can you find never trumpers in think tanks and numerous. You go into grassroots groupings across the country out primary voters that would vote, i dont see a lot of never trumper support out there. Why is this such a personal thing for him against the president . I dont know. I do think it got a little too personal. I think when you stick to the issues, there are things that jeff flake and President Trump disagree with. But, also, one of the very best friends that jeff flake has is mike pence e the vice president. So they were very close when they worked together in the house. Hopefully that will smooth itself over, over the course of time. Its also signal for some people we like trump works with us on tax reform. We want to see him come to the table and work united moving forward. Pete thank you very much. Congratulations on the forthcoming child. I should say grandchild, yeah. Todd jillian mele with the headlines. Jillian what are you laughing at, pete . Pete i said child. I meant grandchild. Jillian we do have serious news to get to now.

Here in orlando we are expecting 145,000 people to pass through the airport throughout the course of the day. Looking at the big board though, we do have some delays. A lot of them to the northeast. Boston, logan, narpght nearly impossible to see through a blanket of snow there. In parts of pennsylvania, so much snow they are breaking Christmas Day records in terms of snowfall. And drivers in st. Louis navigating slick roads on their travel commute. Our tsa line actually under control this morning. This was about probably about the lowest that we have seen all day. But, people are definitely heading north. You guys, if you have some time off, you want to come on down to orlando, we are welcoming folks. Just make sure you pack your patience, especially if you are traveling from one of those places where you have snow on the ground. Live here in orlando. Back to you. Lisa sounds like people are going to need that patience. Pete im traveling with a 7, 5, and 2yearold. Lisa pete is going to need that patience. Pete be nice to us if you see us in the airport. Todd President Trump delivered on tax cut. What do you need to do to prepare for the new plan. We will tell you what you can actually do before 2017 is over. Pete big show still ahead on the program. Texas congressman Louie Gohmert and mark steyn live next hour. First, on this day in history, december 26th, 1972, president harry truman died at the age of 88. An historic figure. And in 2004 on this date. Colts Peyton Manning broke touchdown pass record when he threw his 48th and 49th of the season. That would indeed be a record. Lisa also in 1968, marvin gay was topping the charts with this hit song i heard it through the grapevine. Todd amazingly ruffled shirt whoooo. Going somewhere . Heres some advice.

Wondering how this is going to effect them heading into 2018. Besides buying gold and living in your basement because armageddon is coming. And buying guns. Lisa and buying guns, of course. First thing you can do is make a donation to a qualified charity. Now, listen, pete, qualified charity is not your lazy cousin. We are talking about 501 c 3 organization. Its good to give. You want to make sure if you are going to be losing that next year, potentially, because you are not going to be able to itemize your deductions. That you are making all the charitable donations that you can possibly do this year. Pete may not pass the threshold of 24,000 next year to do it this year when you can. Yes. Pete how about the retirement side . Whether there is tax reform or not, one thing you want to do is maximize your contribution into retirement plans. Whether thats your i. Ra 401 k . 401 k particularly good because many times there is an employee, employer match to that. So you want to maximize that. And whats interesting you will have people who will overwithhold on their paychecks in order to get a refund when they file their tax return. Yet, they dont think about hey, let me maximize how much i put into my own retirement plan. Given the government an interest free loan. Lisa what about state income taxes . State income taxes. We have heard so much about this is going away. Salt. State and local taxes. So, theres two pieces to this. First, state income tax, make sure you pay all of your 2017 taxes on time. Which means your last payment which is due, estimated tax payment, which is due january 15th, that you speed that up and make that within the next week. Property taxes. You want to if you can prepay your 2018 property taxes in 2017. Now, theres a lot of lines being formed at your local tax collectors office. But, its worth the wait. Pete third point is if you live in high tax state move to low tax state . Florida, texas, nevada, looking better and better. Pete texas is better and better. You have dug into the weeds for us. How do you feel this is going to effect the overall economy . I think its going to do well for this economy. Most people are getting a tax break. I would say about 80 . Its not a perfect plan. Clearly but its a very, very good plan. Plan. Lisa what about simplification. I know that was a goal for the Republican Party as well as President Trump. Will peoples taxes be simplified . We didnt quite get to the simplification part because we have seven tax brackets before. We have seven tax brackets now. Alternative minimum tax. We had that before and we still have it for individuals. So we didnt quite get the simplification. Lisa is there a deduction make it easier for anyone for double the standard deduction. Sure. Thats going to help. Because its going to push more people into the standard deduction. And. Pete simpler. Tax rates have gone down. Most people are going to benefit. Clearly. Pete we are not putting h and r business. And not putting dan geltrude. Pete why am i promoting your competitors . Pete geltrude and company llc a man who does his business well.

Com and maybe well show the photos. Pete President Trump fresh off a working christmas weekend at maralago already has his eye on bipartisanship this morning. Todd Griff Jenkins, live in d. C. What is ahead. Good morning, griff. God morning guys. The president and first lady may remain in maralago through the new years but that doesnt mean he is back to work. The president tweeting, based on fact very unfair and unpopular individual mandate has been terminated as part of our tax cut bill which essentially repeals over time obamacare the democrats and republicans will eventually come together to develop a great new health care plan. That certainly suggests that that we could be looking at another crack, another run doing something on health care. That is not all, the president saying that he wants to tackle infrastructure, something he believes could get bipartisan support, trying to fix those roads, bridges and tunnels across the country badly in need of repair. Meanwhile the white house says the president invited people Speaker Paul Ryan and senator Mitch Mcconnell in camp david to make sure theyre on the same page. That long list of things to do, also includes defense spending, immigration, daca, what to do about the children brought here as, children brought here illegally. Disaster relief, something they didnt finish, to fix the problems left by mother nature. Lastly, guys, yesterday down in maralago the president and first lady providing hundreds of meals, turkey, stuffing, gravy for secret servicemembers, local military and Law Enforcement working on christmas. One Law Enforcement officer, didnt want to be quote, listen what he did was just amazing. Back to work, time to get busy. Pete very cool. He owns entire resort feeding guys guarding him. While he get as christmas, theyre out there like so many Law Enforcement, firstresponders everybody working on the day. Great gesture. Lisa very respectful gesture. Todd if america and world were a sports team, america would get a c being the captain. Were sort of in charge right now and were leading the way on so many fronts, i want to ask you, really two things. One the embassy in israel, and two, quite frankly the United Nations chipping away at their bloat the infrastructure. Let me ask you, first to the Israeli Embassy, what does it mean to the world when we step up and take a position where we say this, is what worry doing, this is the way it is going to be . What do you think that does for us . Pete only thing that changes. Israeli reporting up to 10 countries may actually join us in moving their embassies from tel aviv to jerusalem inside of israel. Without america taking step, especially antiisraeli, antisemitic view the world takes that will never change. We recognize reality, Eternal Truth that jerusalem is the capital, guatemala, a few other countries said they will. 10 others still common news potentially in talks to do that. Leadership is not voting for everybody he will. And then doing something that is u. S. Policy forever and not taking the step. That is what. Lisa expressing that concern, antiisrael bias but now u. N. Ambassador nikki haley and the Trump Administration is saying no more. She actually said they will cut 285 million and she put out a statement. What she said we will no longer let the generosity of the American People be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. You can be sure well continue to look ways to increase u. N. Efficiency while protecting our interests. This is really important step because far too long as we have seen congress, president s complain about the u. N. Now nikki haley u. N. Ambassador saying you know what . Well actually take action. Were going to roll back the funding. If you want to vote against us, want to try to embarass us on the National Stage . Guess what, were rolling back our money. Pete well take your name. Take our wallet out, yes, my wallet 100dollar bill i got at the dollar store. I wont be handing it over. Lisa i will hang on to that. Reality we have a big wallet. We fund 22 of the u. N. s budget. Taking 285 million out of the budget that is a significant statement. Well not be stand back to be lambasted by this body. Well not move our embassy and take a show vote to make us look bad and sit back to take it that is total indictment. This is 100dollar bill i got for a dollar, the International System is rigged against free countries like u. S. And israel, in favor of small countries that want to impugn us. That is what the u. N. Turned into. Todd why under the Obama Administration did we take, sorry were u. S. , sorry were big in the world, why did we take them, when we act with measure of strength the world respects us . Lisa this is President Trump following through with moving the embassy, simply with what some president s said they were going to do as i mentioned earlier in the show. You have president clinton. President obama, you have president george w. Bush, Congress Also said as much. So you have so many people saying that this is exactly what should be done. Now President Trump is going to get this done, well follow through pete barack obama was baptized in the blame America First policy in academia. He doesnt believe america has leadership in the world so he pulled us back. That is that simple. President trump changed that. Todd he had the following, jeff flake to say with regard to the 2020 white house. Take a listen. I do believe if the president is running for reelection, if he continues on the path that he is on, that will leave a huge amount of voters looking for something else. He is probably inviting a republican challenge as well. Certainly an independent challenge, yes. Todd when asked whether jeff flake himself would be in the ring. He said i dont look that forward ahead. But he didnt say no. To mr. Flake, i ask the question, you were projected to lose arizona, your state by tremendous amounts of votes. Do you think you will go win the presidency if. Lisa you took the words out of my mouth, senator flake was expected to have a tough primary, expected to have a tough general election. It is interesting for him to make comments considering he himself would face a real uphill battle electorally. Pete find me the big swath of republicans that dont like President Trump. If you have been to single grass root event, and voters dont live in island of manhattan, there is support among his base Even Stronger than it was before. Maybe in some think tanks, maybe in some newsrooms, maybe republicans want to be lofted by the leftwing press, President Trump is terrible. There is no swath of voters. They are not there. That they will get one, two, 3 , bet by the president. These are polish words from a nevertrumper foolish words. Todd President Trump is beloved by these people. He cant do a lot wrong. While you may say, everybody in the Republican Party are realizing they were not on the trump train originally. They have gotten on the trump train because they see if they dont, this doesnt behoove them for political career. Senator flake doesnt see that. Lisa we need to move on. What do we need to know . Jillian . Jillian a lot of places are dealing with whiteout conditions pounding the northeast and midwest where millions of americans head home after christmas. Boston Logan Airport almost impossible to see in a blanket of snow. 21 inches of snow in erie, pennsylvania, breaking a Christmas Day record. As a result of that weather, a packed jetblue flight skids off the runway, coming in for a landing in boston. The plane slipping and spinning 180 degrees before finally coming to rest. The passengers in the plane said it felt like the plane was doing doughnuts. They praised the flight crew. The plane had to be towed to the terminal. Wasnt pretty, doesnt matter because the Philadelphia Eagles have Home Field Advantage through the nfl playoffs. From 35. That is heading down the middle and good with 22 seconds left. Jillian kicker jake elliot ceiling the deal against the oakland raiders. The steelers dropping a lump of coal in the texans as stocking running all over houston, 346. The one bright spot to the texans, take a look. Amazing touchdown catch from deandre hopkins, batting it around, turning around just in time to make the grab. Reading that i heard boos from todd piro. Pete youre insufficientable. Todd im hopping on the vikings cant change it. Lisa redskins fan. Were no threat to anyone. Todd no kneelers on the vikings.

Pete potential major shakeup towards the top, very top of the fbi as Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe, otherwise known as andy in those Text Messages reported to retire early next year after being grilled on the hill for seven 1 2 hours by the judiciary committee. Lisa congressman Louie Gohmert is here to talk about that. Andrew mccabe is center of great controversy. His wife received political donations from Governor Terry mcauliffe. A close clinton ally. He was part of the email exchange between peter strzok and lisa page, talking about the insurance policy as well. So what are your thoughts on this potential retirement and what it means for the overall investigation . Well i sat it in on questioning last week of andy mccabe and, that was supposed to be confidential and wont betray that confidentiality but he doesnt remember some things the same way that mum letter and and mueller and some of the others do. He cant go fast enough. Anybody that has that much disrespect for the pub pick party, for the president of the United States, this goes way beyond just having a political opinion like everybody does. This is things that affect your judgment. So mueller, i have said since day one, since he was appointed he is bad news. He is out for a scalp. He would love to get trumps scalp. He would love to be the hero of the left to take out donald trump. He will do everything he can to do that. Mueller is not going to be deterred by these people falling around him. He wants a scalp and he would love to get potus. If he can not get the president he, like weve seen he will take a mike flynn and it was kind of sad the way that all happened. Todd sure. Were in some dangerous water right now. Going forward. Pete fascinating to watch any portion of that seven 1 2 hours. I know you cant betray confidentiality of what was said. Donations to his wife campaigns. Text messages refer to insurance policy, what he did in the clinton email investigation, i assume all those questions were asked. What was your overall takeaway, his disposition . Did you walk away really mistrustful, or was he able to answer some things . From things we already knew i was, i carried in some distrust. Just, i mean what we know is factual about andy mccabe. He sounded like he was very straightforward but, like i say, he remembers some things very different from some of the other people who made public statements. So andy has given some information that needs further investigation to see if he is right about that but the impression is that, my impression is since the day mueller went in, he has not been the up standing, fair guy that people painted him as being. He did more destruction to the fbi. Weakened the fbi more so than j. Edgar hoover or anybody ever did. He purged the Training Records of anything that offended radical islamists. Weakened us of our ability to see, for example, the boston bomber, they went out to talk to him, because of mueller they didnt know what to ask. He persistently shows disdain toward people who are very conservative. Hes a problem. Lisa congressman, real quick, do you have faith in mueller . No, i have no faith in mueller. I havent from day one. In fact, back, i dont know if you can see that, but that was taken in june by somebody else. I was telling the president , you have got to appoint special counsel to investigate mueller, comey, mccabe, lynch pete youve been ahead the whole time, congressman. We have to leave it right there. There is a lot of work yet to do. Lisa mark steyn is next. Thank you, congressman. Mark steyn is next. Everybody two seconds dear sebastian, after careful consideration of your application, it is with great pleasure that we offer our congratulations on your acceptance. Through the Tuition Assistance program, every day mcdonalds helps more people go to college. Its part of our commitment to being americas best first job. Todd time for quick headlines. A topless woman tries to swipe the baby jesus from a nativity scene at the vatican. [shouting] i wish we could look at hegseth and stein. Feminist activist was tackled by police hours before Pope Franciss christmas message. A holiday fireworks celebration goes terribly wrong he tried to say. Take a look. Thats not cool. At least 22 people, including six kids burned in central cuba when the fireworks started exploding uncontrollably. The display part of a traditional Christmas Eve celebration. Hopefully next years tradition will not include injuries and general explosions. Pete thanks, todd. The u. S. Cutting 285 million from the u. N. s budget from our contribution to the u. N. s budget next year. Ambassador nicki haley vowing quote, we will no longer let the generosity of the American People be taken advantage of or remain unchecked. We will con to look at ways to increase the u. N. s efficiency while protect our interest. Here to break down why this is a good move for america is columnist america steyn. Merry christmas. Happy boxing day as we say in our tradition peet peet what is boxing day . Boxing day is a when you give box to your servants. I gave a tie to my foot man. That is why it is boxing day. Speaking of giving were not giving as much to the u. N. And u. N. Will not have very much. Why is the actions that nikki haley took obviously through the president , why is this so important . Well i think the problem with the u. N. It was the Second World War victory parade preserved in aspect. That was good idea in 1945. The majority of members didnt exist as independent nations in 1945. Now you have a situation where essentially the dictatorships vote en masse, vote as a bloc. 58 member of Islamic Organization is monolithic block. The democracies are outvoted. Half the democracies are people who strike attitudes like the European Union did mostly with the israel vote. It is simply not an effective vehicle for america. America, by the way, just to accentuate the cultural differences you guys are not imperialists. So when you found yourself top dog in the world in 1950, instead of having conventional empire, you set up multilateral institutions to work threw them. One of the results you diminish your own voice and bulge up the pip squeak posers. Lisa what effect will this have. The trump is sending a message to the u. N. Will this have an impact . If he is serious. Trump is the one guy who would do it. Think of previous republican president s, first george bush was guy who could name off the top of his tread deputy trade minister of south sandwich islands, he thought multilaterally like that. George w. Bush was a bit like that. Trump is serious. Set one guy who could roll back of the u. N. , 22 , why should one nation fund 22 of the costs of a club with 200 members . Pete get out voted by that very club. Exactly. These guys have stupid antiamerican vote and stick u. S. Taxpayers with the tab. Pete important moment. One thing the president is serious on, specifically ilLegal Immigration especially chain migrations as we learn two more terror suspects were brought into the u. S. Through chain migration. Do we need anymore proof that our immigration system, Legal Immigration system as well is fundamentally broken . Look if you have chain migration, you dont have an immigration system. 70 of immigrants in the u. S. Come through chain migration. Which means the United States has no effectively no say in them. All countries have the right to select who they admit within their borders. If you have chain migration, you dont this guy in pennsylvania, for example, he is an egyptian, this latest jihadist, he is an egyptian who is distant, distant, relative of some guy who came two generations ago. Theyre basically selfselecting. That is a huge security flaw for any nation. Lisa weve also seen the visa lottery come under scrutiny as well, but do you think congress is going to act on this, because first some of these changes to be made, it will take an act of congress. Is there a will in congress to make these changes . Pete how is this not a layup for republicans . How do they not absorb this . I think a situation donors outvote the voters in a way. This is an 80 issue. If youre an american citizen, citizenship has its privilege. You dont give it away in lottery. Not like tristate mega bucks. That is ridiculous pete mark, i hate to bring the next subject up, i dont want to ruin your new years eve plans with Rosie Odonnell but there is a little fight going on between paul ryan and Rosie Odonnell. Paul ryan tweeted, at end of next year, no matter how long or short it feels, there is a christmas where the angels appeared in the night sky to herald birth of a savior. To which rosy responds, paul ryan dont talk about about jesus after what you did to our nation. You will go to hell. You screwed up. Fake altar boy. No yo if paul ryan is going to hill. My vision of hell is, trapped on a long elevator ride with Rosie Odonnell. If youre a democrat, the best thing the democrats could do to sweep congress win 2020 presidency, would be to send every minor celebrity with a political opinion to an atoll off the Falkland Islands until november 2018. They would sweep the house, senate, would get everything. These celebrities are killing them. Lisa good news people will want to hear more from you. You they can tonight because youre filling in on Tucker Carlson tonight. The 12 day of guests. Lisa why do you think youre in here. Fox news gave to me, pete hegseth in a pair tree.
