Guests and Topics for January 4,5 & 6

The news doesn't stop on the weekend and neither does FOX & Friends.

So start your weekend in the know with Mike Jerrick and Juliet Huddy.

Saturday:

The field for the Democratic presidential nomination got more crowded this week as Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., announced his intention to run for the White House. Who will emerge victorious? We'll get the Long and the Short of it from FOX News contributors Jim Pinkerton and Ellen Ratner.

President Bush gets ready to announce his economic plan for 2003 on Tuesday. But will it have an immediate effect on your investments? We'll ask FOX News business contributor Dagen McDowell.

U.S. troops are heading to the Persian Gulf preparing for a potential attack on Saddam Hussein. How close are we to war? FOX News military analyst and former Green Beret Major Bob Bevelacqua.

How secure are our nation's borders? Gary Bauer, president of American Values and former presidential candidate, weighs in.

Two Air Force pilots are on trial for the deaths of four Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan. The defense claims that the stimulants the Air Force encourages to keep the pilots alert, impaired their judgment. So what role do "uppers" play in the U.S. military? We'll talk to one of the defense attorneys.

Israel is talking about building a Palestinian state on most of the West Bank. Could this mean an end to the Palestinian/Israeli conflict? We'll ask ambassador Alon Pinkas, Israel's counsul general in New York.

Sunday:

The South Korean President-elect will offer a compromise that requires both North Korea and the U.S. to accept concessions to resolve the standoff over the communist state's recently reactivated nuke program, an aide said Friday. But does the U.S. hold the ultimate trump card in this nuclear game of chicken? The Brookings Institution's Richard Bush weighs in.

Or will diplomacy ease the tension? We'll ask Barry Schweid, diplomatic correspondent for the Associated Press.

Plus, author Michael Starr joins us to talk about his new book Mouse in the Rat Pack.

And, before you go to the theater, FNC entertainment guru Bill McCuddy previews About Schmidt and 25th Hour.

And here's what is on tap for Monday:

FOX & Friends (7 a.m. ET)

An illegal alien apparently got access to the White House, the Pentagon and NASA — and has pictures to prove it. We'll ask the reporter that broke the story, FOX News contributor Michelle Malkin.

Plus, meet Evan Marriott, the star of a twisted new reality show, Joe Millionaire.

Checking names against a terror watch list should be easy right? Not when there are over 60 ways to spell Mohammed in English! It's a problem John Hermansen, co-founder of Language Analysis Systems, is working to fix.

Don't miss a moment with us!
