"new york post" says wild child, drugs, escorts and exotic cars while dodging taxes. editorial board said it was a scheme not to pay uncle sam but to give chastity at the gentlemen's club. the evidence is clear the justice department was burying it as favor to joe biden. >> todd: alexandria hoff will break it down. alex. >> his attorney sees it differently. the president's son has been indicted on 19tax-related charges, that were brought by special counsel yesterday. the defendant spent this money on drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotel, rental property, exotic cars, everything but his taxes. everything broken down, 1.6 million in atm withdrawals, money to women and adult entertainment and so on. david axelrod weighed in. this will further ignite house republicans. i think president trump has urged them to do it and has an ally in new house speaker mike johnson. this will be a log on the fire, the fire may not reach the door of the white house, but republicans will try to depict it as much. >> alexandria: yesterday does backup what the whistleblowers testified to. shapley and ziegler placed their careers on the line to blow the whistle on this conduct and politicization in the hunter biden investigation, every american should applaud these men. hunter biden has agreed to testify this week, house republicans say he must be interviewed privately first. >> carley: and there is that impeachment inquiry next week, we'll see what happens there. thank you, live in washington, d.c. fox news contributor miranda devine has a book out on his laptop, here is how she reacted yesterday. >> the indictment is vindication of everything we have been reporting for three years, vindication of james comer and fellow republicans in the house and the investigation they have been doing this year and especially vin dicasion of irs whistleblowers, gary shapley and zie ziegler and this indictment is an indictment of david weiss, even though his name is on this because that sweetheart plea deal he tried to sweep past the american people would have given hunter immunity was such a disgrace when you look at the depth and breadth of the crimes alleged here. hunter biden is accused not just of failing to pay taxes, but of trying to rip off the tax office. >> todd: that final point is such an important point, what changed? david weiss had access to this information for years, tried to stifle it and wasn't but for the two whistleblowers, we may not have the situation we have now, indictment on real serious charges. >> carley: totally and comer gave the whistleblowers total credit saying it changed the course of history. this is the president's family, i don't think this is an overstatement. they put their jobs and reputation, livelihood on the line to tell the truth, that is the whistleblower element. the david weiss thing does confuse me, though, he was willing to enter this plea deal, could it be to help the president and then he got caught, the judge said this sounds fishy, we'll go ahead with nine charges. david weiss highlighted hunter biden used a business line of credit to make payments to a porn site, one fifth of all the business line of credit for that expenditure. some personal problems there, to say the least. the judge assigned to the case is a trump appointee, as well. >> todd: we have so many questions, we'll ask an attorney who will join us on his take of this major story 20 minutes from now. do not miss it. >> carley: and what itten moos for president biden and biden family business. the president is heading to hollywood and will rub shoulders with celebs and donors. an ex-democrat is here to tell us what message this sends. >> todd: and a legal battle between stars of the hit show yellowstone. a coffee company is causing legal drama. big "fox and friends first" rolling on on friday morning. ♪ ♪ first time i connected with kim, she told me that her husband had passed. and that he took care of all of the internet connected devices in the home. i told her, “i'm here to take care of you.” connecting with kim... made me reconnect with my mom. it's very important to keep loved ones close. we know that creating memories with loved ones brings so much joy to your life. a family trip to the team usa training facility. i don't know how to thank you. i'm here to thank you. >> janice: good morning, we have a lot to go over, let's get to it. colder air moving into the west will influence warmer air the next cold front will crash into. warm temperatures, record-breaking warmth across the plain states, pushing eastward across the great lakes today and tomorrow. look at potential records for new york, jfk 61, islip, new york, 60 degrees. you have warm air, a cold front will slam into it and a coastal low moving into the east for the weekend. here is potential for severe weather -- sorry, this is saturday. slight risk over oklahoma and texas and moving across the mississippi and tennessee river tomorrow, hail, damaging wind and tornados. then watch this area of low pressure develop and move up toward the east, we'll see coastal low bringing potential for interior section snow and coastal rain. we could see snow across the great lakes after record-setting warmth. heavy rain in the forecast, flash flooding is a concern for the i-95 corridor, areas hit hard by rain. definitely prepare for that and interior sections could see good snow. here is what we're looking at tomorrow, snow across great lakes and upper midwest and area of low pressure develop as it moves toward east coast starting off as rain and on the backside we're going to see significant snow for parts of the appalachian and interior sections. i wish we were getting a little bit of snow, we are sick of the rain. yeah, that is something that will delay travel. >> carley: still chance for a white christmas. >> janice: probably a better chance. for new york, i don't think we're going to have a white christmas. >> todd: stay inside this weekend and watch christmas movies. >> janice: or christmas specials on fox nation, todd piro. >> carley: fox nation and fox weather. thank you. president biden is stopping by las vegas today pledging billionings on a rail project connecting sin city to l.a. and then to los angeles to rub elbows with hollywood eshg lite, stephen spielberg and barbara streisand. axios report says they are refocusing on people over politics, instead of the tone-deaf term bidenomics. christina joins me now. the biden campaign is focusing on people over politics, is going to swanky, high-powered fundraiser the right way to go about it? >> absolutely not, i have -- how many hostages do we have in gaza? the president has no business leaving the white house, get the powers that be and lock them in the white house and nobody is going on vacation until that is resolved. going with celebrities, they don't live in the real world, they don't have struggles the way we do. i am retired, i have disability through the va, my husband, as well. i had to go get two jobs just to help us make ends meet. we don't live above our means, we know how to budget, however, with bidenomics it is unreal. going to the grocery store is a chore, creative accounting needs to go into effect in my household. >> carley: this is money over messaging, biden campaign needs the money and will take a hit on messaging. on so many fronts, democrats supposed to be the party of the working class and the president is spending the weekend at hicelebrity weekend. do you have $930,000 to party with the president? >> absolutely not. the message, it is all about optics. what i see is with us suffering let them eat cake and that is what comes to mind. it is unfortunate and heartbreaking and i appreciate he is coming to las vegas. we just had a mass shooting at our university, i appreciate him coming. what i see and hear, i feel sorry for you and by the way, i'm running for president and by the way, trying to like we're ignorant and don't understand what the world politics look like or what america has come to. this is not the america that i signed up defend and with our disabilities, it is like, mr. president, what are you doing for our veterans and homeless veterans and veterans not making ends meet. it is heartbreaking. >> carley: the president may be going to las vegas for a good reason. nevada backed presidents in four consecutive elections, but only by two points in 2020. you used to be a democrat and you left the party, tell us why. >> i i opened up my eyes, i woke up and smelled the coffee and thought this is not working. if we are for the people, the democratic party, how is it we are allow be abortion and how is it we support murder and who is protecting the lives of the unborn, no way i can be a part of this anymore. >> carley: christina ramos, thank you for joining us. speaking of l.a., wild video out of los angeles in time for president biden's visit. >> todd: the fed-up business owner using it to send a message to biden and entire democrat irk party. don't miss what he has to say, that is coming up next. >> i voted for gavin newsom, i'm sick of it. i was stuck. unresolved depression symptoms were in my way. i needed more from my antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant... is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms... ...better than an antidepressant alone. and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain, and high cholesterol may occur. movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects. stomach and sleep issues, dizziness, increased appetite, and fatigue are also common. side effects may not appear for several weeks. i didn't have to change my treatment. i just gave it a lift. ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie could help you save. >> carley: smoke filling the air near israel's border with gaza. >> todd: greg palkot live with the latest. greg. >> greg: todd and carley, we're into month three of the israel-hamas war and from our vantage point here a mile from the gaza strip, we can tell you, it is intensifying. we saw hamas fired rockets right over our location and israeli iron dome seemed to have knocked them out of the sky. israel reporting 450 hamas targets hit in the last tw24 hours, by air, by sea, in the night, artillery aimed at the terrorists. most treacherous, massive israeli ground operation, especially in southern gaza where hamas stronghold is believed to be. there is house-to-house-to-house fighting. two more soldiers killed, bringing casualties to 92 soldiers. of course civilians in gaza taking a battering, as well. one-time safe areas to which they fled being hit. hamas run health ministry total put the death toll over 16,000. more raid being promised by israel and the united states. todd and carley, secretary of state blinken recently said there is no deadline for israel to finish the operation here, but this is important, he expects major fighting to be finished within a month, that means early january. also waiting 130 plus hostages inside the gaza strip, including it is believed eight americans. a lot of people watching. >> todd: extremely complicated. thank you. jewish people finished celebrating the first night of hanukkah, trying to stay positive. there is rise in antisemitism. the star of david is being removed from holiday displays. they say proudly celebrating hanukkah is crucial. >> hanukkah is message of victory. over 2000 years ago, perhaps people try to connect to modern-day fight going on in gaza. that is not the message of hanukkah. to connect the two is unamerican. >> todd: the founder of less people forget and is a jewish activist. how do you celebrate hanukkah this year with the pull of october 7 hanging over your head? >> good question, it is something we are struggling with right now, it is a weird balance toward mourning what we saw and what is happening in israel, try to understand why there is a rise in antisemitism and trying to celebrate one of the most joyful holidays and joyous times of the year, you just heard, hanukkah is time of celebrating victory and miracles. it is timely fchl we need anything in this world, it is a good miracle. >> todd: agreed. when you see people limiting hanukkah celebration, do you think that is a good move for safety or is that giving in to rabied antisemitism forces throughout our country right now? >> i see it as giving in. these forces are taking over. ignorance is on the rise. a recent poll had one in five that believe the holocaust is a myth. what we've seen has been horrifying and to give in to them is approving what they have been saying, shouting and doing and it will not help jewish people fight back and be proudly jewish, especially in the united states of america, where it should be so, so easy. >> todd: i don't understand that one-fifth number. as a sophomore, 30 years ago, sophomore in high school, we had a three-month period in our english class where we studied the holocaust and reviewed literature because it was english class through the holo holocaust. could you have envisioned the antisemitism since october 7 especially in light of the fact israel was the one attacked. >> jewish people are struggling right now, what happened on october 7 is so horrific. i don't think anyone realized antisemitism could go up. it scared a lot of people. the most deadly day for jewish people since the holocaust. we have seen a rise in antisemitism and people being openly hating jews on college campuses and the workplace and on the television. you play clips of rallies, especially in new york city, people have no problem waving swastikas around. my grandfather warned me, i was too ignorant to believe him. >> todd: you were hopeful and that existed around the time. i'm hopeful that the tide is somewhat turning, i saw the testimony of three presidents there at the university and outrage to them. i'm hopeful in the hanukkah season that the tide is turning. try to enjoy yourself this hanukkah. we appreciate your time. back to our top story, hunter biden facing nine charges accusing him of spending on party, cars and other things we can't get into in much detail, other than paying tacks. how many years he can spend in jail. >> carley: the number is on the right-hand side of the screen. did you see this? >> it is not an easy decision, i've had a successful career and been very happy, there is a lot of things that are enticing. >> carley: master champion jon rahm is leaving the p.g.a. tour, his massive deal and what he is saying. >> todd: that number is not on the screen, that is a massive number. >> carley: a lot of zeros. ♪ ♪ [coughing] copd isn't pretty. i'm out of breath, and often out of the picture. but this is my story.
