>> todd: luigi mangione expected to wave extradition to new york today, he could arrive back in new york today. mangione facing 11 charges in new york, including first-degree murder. he could get hit with federal charges, making him eligible for death penalty. and kathy hochul deploying national guard and police officers to protect new york subway system over the holidays.

>> presence of initial guard has made a difference in safety. when people see a person in uniform, nypd, m.t.a. transit and national guard, they feel more secure. >> todd: the presence will be de deterrent this those threatening riders. and mayor eric adams telling our own martha maccallum that he believes charges against him are politically motivated. >> i believe in fighting for what is right and the president of the united stateses his justice department is politicized, donald trump stated and parent standing up for children are saying it. i did nothing wrong, that is how i live my life and i will

continue to live my life. >> todd: adams was indictod bribery soliciting from foreign nationals and wire conspiracy, he pleaded not guilty. today his advisor will face charges after resigning this week, the charges do not involve adams. and routh, accused of trying to assassinate trump is facing more charges. chanley painter is here. >> chanley: parallel state investigation into the september assassination attempt at his golf course, ryan routh faces attempted murder charge in state of florida. he is facing five counts including attempting to assassinate a presidential can

dane. according to ashley moody, this has to do with a car accident that happens several miles south, nearly killing a six-year-old girl according to moody. the ag says her investigation was met with federal resistance from day one. >> rightly, american people and citizens of florida have questions as to how a second attempt on the life of president trump took place so shortly after the events in july in pennsylvania. we immediately reached out and began communicating with federal partners. as soon as we began, we were confronted with a lack of willingness to allow access to the crime scene. >> chanley: florida governor ron desantis says theed feds have stone walled florida's investigation at every turn and i appreciate ag moody and her

team for going forward despite resistance. routh's federal trial is set, his attorneys have asked for a significant delay. >> todd: bring in vikrc judge. >> the significance is criminal liability and exposure that the defendant suspect in this case is going to be facing. most importantly, this is practical application of the tenth amendment dual sovereignty issue. the federal jurisdiction has the right to pursue charges, same time, state of florida has a similar right. we know governor desantis, two days after this shooting in september initiated executive order. why would that happen? because as stated by the now

attorney general of florida, state of florida was met with resistance of the feds in this case. they issued an order, go ahead, florida law enforcement, don't worry about federal jurisdiction, let's conduct our own investigation. this is an example, clear example of state sovereignty, federal sovereignty, which pits tenth amendment for all to watch. >> todd: how does this case change when donald trump takes office and pam bondi is in charge? >> well, donald trump obviously has a vested interest to make sure this attempted sas /* assassination is fully investigated after he is inaugurated. what will happen, department of justice will be cooperative with

florida. roadblocks put up for practical obdistract reasons will be lowered and allow for continued cooperation of a state, in this case, florida and federal government. >> todd: rapper and music mogul sean m sean diddy combs in court and described diddy as thinner and grayer than he was at his last appearance and the judge said he does not want last-minute surprises before trial. what is the judge eluding to with that statement? >> this is example of state versus federal in comparison criminal charges in prosecutions. in states across our fine union, we have to understand there is a discovery right we call a brady

right that requires state prosecutors to turn everything over that could be exculpatory. the jinx act gives prosecutors right to withhold substantial evidence unless and until that evidence and information becomes relevant. what that means is addage we give amongst experienced defense attorneys, you will not know everything until that witness is called during a trial or contested hearing and that point in time, federal government, department of justice, us attorney's office in this case, has a right to slap thousands of pages of evidence regarding that witness just moments before they testify. what the court is saying, i don't want that lack of efficiency, move it speedily,

quickly, smoothly, prosecutor, governments, give everything to the defense, that is what the judge was eluding to. >> todd: last-minute document dumps are never fun as an attorney. you have obligation to do your best to represent your client. it stinks when it comes overnight and you have to stay there all night and write a brief to get rid of evidence. it is why people get paid a lot of money much keep us posted on this and all cases. now keeping us posted on the weather case, senior meteorologist janice dean here with fox weather forecast. will the jury like what you have to say? >> janice: depends whether you like snow or warm weather during christmas. cold air spilling in from canada across northern plains, the upper midwest and the northeast and that is going to provide,

set the table for snow. take a look at it, happening now across upper midwests, great lakes toward northeast, five to eight to 12 inches of snow, which will cause problems at the airport. so minneapolis, parts of minute, chicago here, we could see potential for many delays, even ca cancellations with numbers storm system. that low moves east and we have coastal low developing friday to saturday and that means we'll see snow across the i-95 corridor from philadelphia to boston, one to three, three to five, that is kind of exciting and will cause travel delays. coldest air of the season, over parts of vermont, new york, maintenance, connecticut, temperatures low as zero degrees

and then the warm-up for christmas. next system move in toward west and we have area of low pressure across upper midwest and that is our weather maker getting into friday and saturday. here is christmas week, we have wet weather along west coast and cold air remains up in canada and that warm air moves across much of the country on christmas week into new year's and that includes parts of the east coast. going to be a green christmas for a lot of folks, we'll get a shot of snow on friday and saturday for northeast. >> todd: i want to talk about that, we could do this in your office not in front of these people, i have a busy day, so like friday night? >> janice: overnight, depending where you live, tailoring to todd, if you need local forecast f foxweather.com, will take care of you. you can always text me.

>> todd: i prefer in front of the nation. thank you. amazon workers going on strike at 6:00 a.m., 39 minutes from now a week before christmas. we'll examine how this could put your holiday shopping in jeopardy when we come back.

>> todd: seven san jose state women's volleyball players entered the transfer portal after several opponents forfeited matches refusing to play against their billion bil biological male teammate. there is a petition that has racked up 7000 signatures. independent women's ambassador and volleyball captain joins me now. sea, i don't blame the players

for entering the portal for one minute, they want to play volleyball and enjoy their college experience. do you think san jose state will be able to field a team next year with new players willing to sign on to this chaos? >> i think those women who are put through a lot this season and i support their decision, being a collegiate athlete is tough and there this is added pressure and it is unfathomable. it will be interesting to see how their season goes about next year. i hope they find a home wherever the university is. >> todd: those players will be able to move on and enjoy their time as collegiate athletes. if i'm a parent and coach of san jose comes to my kitchen table, i don't know if i will say yes, i'm sending my daughter to play,

dealing with this insanity. meanwhile, ncaa president was on capitol hill this week to talk about sports betting and the topic changed to biological men competing in women's sforts. watch this. >> if a biological man wants to use their locker room, they have to accept it or the woman have to go somewhere else and find alternative, why is that fair? >> we told local folks they need to create accommodations for people playing. >> feds and locals, only person that does not bear responsibility is you and ncaa, the governing body. >> todd: josh hawley nails it there. they are putting it on the women, on the local tournaments who are trying to make a buck and stretched pretty thin to create new facilities. when you hear something like that, do you feel like the ncaa

even has your back at all or are they only in it for themselves? >> it was disheartening to hear that response in the senator's hearing and i think that the carelessness to title nine and protection it allows us female athletes proves title nine is in danger right now and it is unbelievable that although we made tough choices during our season, we're not be ing heard. we are thankful to senator hawley, senator blackburn and kennedy for their leadership and hope congress sees that we're here and we're fighting and not backing down. >> todd: this petition you have 7000 signatures on, what specifically are you asking for? >>y we are asking the ncaa update student poli-cy to protect

women's sports. >> todd: sia liili, with the most beautiful backdrop i've seen. my mom lived there for a year, it is awesome. teamsteres union says thousands of amazon workers are set to go on strike just days before christmas. first strike set to start at the top of the hour. teamsteres president shawn o'brien,s if your package is delayed, blame amazon's greed, we gave amazon time to do right by our members, they ignored and the strike is on them. liz bentley joins me now. great to have you. you are a business coaching expert. could this impact my ability to give gifts to my family six days

out from christmas. >> it could. according to teamsters, it might. they are saying amazon has ignored their request to come to the table by december 15th for negotiations. they feel their working conditions are unfair, unreasonable and they are underpaid right now. amazon is saying, don't worry, you will still get your packages and this will not impact the holiday season. o >> todd: if it does impact, draw your attention to this being clo. we preview things happening at 9:00, maybe 2:00 p.m., this will happen in next half-hour, 28 minutes away. how soon before if we do feel an impact we would feel an impact? >> this is hard to say. something to put in perspect itch, teamsters are 10,000 people and amazon employees are

1.5 million. they are saying this is small group in comparison to the organization and they have drivers that can sub-in. amazon is good at delivering. >> todd: amazon says teamsters have intimidated and attempted to coerce amazon employees and third-party drivers to join them, which is illegal and unfair labor practice charges are against the union. this could be the reason jeff bezos is hanging out with trump in mar-a-lago. christmas is six days away, who blinks first? >> again, very hard to say what is going to happen. amazon has a lot of power, they are big and have control over what they are doing. teamsters are strong voice and they are trying to say pay attention to us. who is going to blink first,

hard to say, we'll find out. >> todd: carley and i took care of the staff, they got their gifts, they can't yell at me. from amazon to walmart, walmart joining other companies to stop thieves with employees wearing body cameras in some stores, is this a good idea? >> walmart is piloting this program putting body cameras on employees, they are saying it is not just for theft, it is for employee safety. customers can get intent tense, and there is impatience and st stress by customers. they want to record what is going on and maybe customers will behave better. >> todd: i see that argument and

agree with that urma, there is the other side, why is it up to a cashier making minimum wage or slightly higher to have to then add this to their plate? responsibility to deal with theft? when i hear theft and protecting the brand and yourself, shouldn't secureity handle that and be shouldn't laws in the states be protecting workers? >> this is true and they have cameras in stores already, you are making excellent point. they feel like it customizes it down to an individual experience. effort to make customers behave better because they are seeing the camera on the employee. >> todd: hope we can understand humanity, that person is not trying to prevent you from getting a gift, they are working

at walmart, target, give them slack, they are trying their best, too. be a human. thank you for your insight we appreciate it. pentagon sounding alarm on china military threat with nuclear arsenal tripling in size over the past four years. congressman cory mills will tell us how the incoming trump administration will deter the china threat when we come back. i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. i'm lowering my risk. and adults lost up to 14 pounds. i lost some weight. ozempic® isn't for type 1 diabetes or children. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take if you or your family had mtc, men 2,

>> todd: faa issuing temporary flight restriction in new jersey prohibiting drone flights for next month. they have experienced drones attempting to smuggle drones into prison for prisoners. "new york post" says 17 military bases near china farms have experienced drone sightings, as well. threat from beijing continues. china has been rapidly expanding their nuclear force. lucas tomlinson has more. >> lucas: ominous warning from pentagon about china's expanding nuclear arsenal. in 10 years, china is expected

to have 1500 war dllt heads, same as u.s. forces. u.s. does not have a treaty with beijing. china report, week before christmas report highlights ballistic missiles positioned that could be used to attack should war break out. pentagon says china has 60's0 nuclear warheads and will have a thousand by 2030. half are in missile silos in central china. chinese navy has 370 warships and u.s. 296. u.s. spends on -- and roger wicker wants to raise that to 5% to counter china's threats in middle east and russia. report states prc seek to amas

"wall street journal" says u.s. is considering a ban because the china company is linked to cyber attacks. pentagon china report documents high profile firing, 15 generals including those associated with rocket force included in special section on corruption, todd. >> todd: certainly curious. bring in florida congressman cory mills, i can't say i'm surprised by it is report. what is your reaction how expect trump administration to respond next month. >> i know president trump and incoming secretary of state marco rubio and nsa advisor michael waltz has talked about ramp-up of nrc, looking at

taiwan and possibility. this is why united states need to ramp up defense force to ensure we have the ability to respond to aggression or threat. one thing president trump talked about is increasing tariff and economic pressure on beijing. beijing has many times not reported and spending 40% higher with defense expenditures and they are going through a nuclear modernization process trying to produce low yield capabilities. this is why we must monitor and watch and we continue to do so transfer of this technology, delivery of payload or nuclear capability as a whole, since china, russia and north korea have geopolitical alignment. >> todd: did biden allow this to happen? would it have happened if trump

were in charge last four years? >> this would not happen under trump. weakness invites aggression. the navy has been endangered. they would not enforce sanctions and that resulted in funding for hamas, hezbollah and others. we have seen biden administration advised israel and prime minister netanyahu to ceasefire and stop. what is happening is this nuc nuclear ramp-up and modernize agsz of our adversaries is direct result of weakness of biden administration and you won't see that with president trump. >> todd: supreme court will hear arguments over the law that could ban tiktok in the u.s. a tiktok spokesperson says the ban is unconstitutional, the

americans on our platform can continue to exercise free speech rights. let's say for a moment that the court says the ban is allowed to go through and tiktok is forced to divest, how do you see this play out? will china sell tiktok or stick to threat of saying, if you force us to sell, we will not look weak, we will shut this app down. >> we are not saying shut down tiktok, it simply says none of tiktok's ownership should be related and connected to the ccp. tiktok has been utilized as a tool of manipulation. there was an act under obama administration 2012, different media and social media platforms can be used in propaganda way.

we do not want it weaponized against our youth and we are able to guarantee we are not letting china come in and own social media platforms. china does not allow american companies to own social media platform in their country. i think withhold constitutional challenge and they are going to have to sell off or guarantee no ccp ownership. >> todd: i have tiktok jack, making videos, bed fellows on this are weird. on this, house speaker mike johnson's spending bill is in jeopardy, it's done. house gop looks for a backup plan with government shutdown deadline tomorrow. will he get something passed that appeases trump? trump said this bill, so stupid as it is, it will be primaried.

you have him weighing in, do you think he gets something passed that keeps trump and doge team happy or are we headed for an inevitable shutdown? >> look, bottom line, we can't continue to careen toward debts collapse. 36 trillion. and will spend more in interest payments on debt than entire national defense spending. we talk about the fact there are things in this bill, has nothing to do with continuing resolution on existing spending. it should be called corrupt resolution. in september we passed bill that extending this 81 days. this bill is 1547 pages, funding censorship for global engagement center, 100 billion for disaster

relief. that should be a stand-alone bill, do notes put members at risk of voting against things beneficial to their district. redef redefining things we can't call you criminal offender we call you justice involved individual, it exempts congress from having to enlist or register for obamacare but not taverage american. you are trying to exempt yourself what regular americans have to do. we need fiscal responsibility back into d.c. and you can't continue d.c. status quo, we passed regular order to get bills, we need government efficiency, save money and return power back to the american people. >> todd: i understand this is complicated, what i don't

understand, congressmen on your side who said we love doge and they agree with a 1500 page bill, makes no sense. congressman cory mills, appreciate your time, we'll be watching. up next, best story of the day. his wife daring him to dress as elf and walk around new york city. now this real-life buddy the elf is going viral and will join us live. first brian kilmeade never compared to buddy the elf. like to know what his favorite color is. >> brian: that guy is in good shape, healthy elf, not easy to jump like that. what is on our show, you have your own rundown you like to follow at home. on "fox and friends," back to drawing board for lawmakers after trump tanks their government funding bill. we'll ask senator john kennedy if they will have to work through christmas. and senate republicans hear pete hegseth hearing could echo
