facilities in iraq used by iranian backed militants. >> joey: the act of retaliation comes after three u.s. service members were hurt on an attack on northern iraq. black smoke rising over gaza as the idf ramps up attacks on hamas terror attacks. the intense fighting comes after iran's president issues a threat against israel after one of their commanders was killed. david spunt is live in washington with the very latest. hi, david. >> one of our service members critically injured. the other two injured but in the critically. still waiting further details on those. the president ordered after u.s. forces came under attack by a drone. the iranian backed militia tied hezbollah and other affiliated groups under the umbrella of iran affiliates. president biden. camp david. let me be clear the president and i will not hesitate to take necessary action to defend the

united states, our troops, and our interest. there is no higher priority. while we do not seek to escalated conflict in the region. we are fully committed and prepared to take further necessary measures to protect our people and our facilities. the white house putting out a statement the president places no higher priority than the protection of american personnel serving in harm's way. the united states will act at a time and in a manner of our choosing should these attacks continue. this just adds to a growing long list of attacks on u.s. forces as you mentioned since october 17th, some days after hamas targeted israel and the united states armed forces stood with israel. some of those attacks more dangerous than others. iran i can't believe leader ebreastbound bra risey. airstrike took out top iranian commander in syria on monday. he says, quote: this act is a sign of the zinellist regime's frustration and weakness in the region for which it will certainly pay the price, end

quote. we also need to hamas rejected egypt's proposal to end the war in israel and still not admit free and fair elections in gaza. bark to you griff want to bring in rebecca. hope you had a good christmas. obviously the news doesn't take a break. now this strike by the u.s. how significant is this and was the response proportionate as the administration likes to say to the attack on our personnel, which left one critically injured? >> well, i think the attack -- the court attack on the part of the united states was appropriate. the problem is, it's still too late. and i mean these attacks against u.s. forces in the region have been ongoing of course since hamas massacre october 7th. these are not singular rocket

attacks when we talk about 100 attacks. multiple attacks each time. i applaud the white house for understanding this needed a much bigger response than what we have seen in the past. but i think it still is just not enough. there needs to be more to compel the iran regime to understand that this is not going to be worth it for them. that the united states is going to defend our troops and we are not just going to play defense. we are going to go on the offense. >> carley: what should the united states do? if you were advising the biden administration and the pentagon what would you tell them to do to preach the these attacks from continuing? >> we know where all of these paramilitary groups are that are supported by the irgc, that's the iranians. we know where they are throughout the region. i would advise to do a mask attack all at once, rather than these pin patriotic strikes waiting every five, six, 10 attacks there is going to be more.

i would advise a significant massive strike against where irgc trainers are we know where this hezbollah paramilitary group in iraq that conducted this last attack, we have known where they're. we know where they're. they should have been eliminated long ago and should not be allowed to persist. >> joey: rebekah here we are december 2 #th, 2023. i remember watching president bush declare victory in iraq. president obama declaring that war as over. then i remember president trump say that he had defeated isis which was largely iraqi organized and stationed and fought for group here we are in 2023 and we have been attacked since october 7th, nearly 100 times in iraq alone. we ended afghanistan. is it time to pull our troops out of iraq and say we can continue the over the horizon capabilities. >> i appreciate your question,

joey and always appreciate your service to this country. u.s. forces are still holding the line in the region. obviously as you know a major combat operations have stopped several years ago. they are still providing counter-terrorism operations in iraq. they are supporting operation pancreatic security forces. because we lost in afghanistan we lost a significant capability to conduct counter-terrorism operations in the region, so that's what our forces are doing there. as you know the united states will provide security through major sea lane arteries, the red sea, the mediterranean, we want to keep those open so americans can be safe here at home and prosperous. and iran trying to support global power hedge money, the am rat at this, they see israel as primary enemy and the united states. that's what our forces are doing there in the region. and they got to stay safe. they can't be sitting ducks,

joey. they got to be permitted to go on the counteroffensive. >> griff: to the opposite end of joey's question, should we go further in? i was in erbil, that's where the latest attack on our personnel was. no 2016. advising and assisting the special forces going into mosul to end the last remnants of isis that joey was referencing. now we are sitting there in same capacity in even smaller number, is it time for the administration to consider to go even bolder because iran is getting free play to attack our troops in a vulnerable position. >> it is unacceptable. it is unacceptable to have u.s. forces there in small numbers and unable to go on the counteroffensive. so, yes, i would say they must -- we know where these people are we know where these terrorists are. we must hit them hard. >> if that means that we have to send greater numbers in, i'm not sure that's the case. i think we have significant fire power in the region. it's not there just to be seen. we got use it we keep hearing

from secretary of defense austin we got major fire power in the region. we are going to deter iran by a show of force. not just showing force. you got to have resolve to employ it, to use it. one last point, u.s. leadership. we are trying to keep the red sea open and free and there has been a lot of activity against by the terrorists against cargo ships in the red sea, we need to have our allies with us. if the u.s. isn't going to be strong and clear and have good direction, you will not have the french with us as the hesitant have been hesitant to be under our command. there is a very concerning pattern of u.s. weakness and leadership and unwilling to get our allies to come with us. >> that's a great point. caesar caesar secretary announces 10-country coalition to counteract these houthi rebels that are targeting these now 15 cargo ships in the red sea, that would be considered a defensive strategy as opposed to an offensive one. there is concern that these attacks will continue.

rebecca, we do have to leave it there thank you for joining us. your perspective is always appreciated and especially on a day like today thank you. >> thank you, merry christmas. >> carley: absolutely. you too. this war in israel is impacting us at home in the form of pro-palestinian protest that continue to pop up in cities across the country christmas day not a -- certainly a day that where this happened. you are looking at the footage on your screen. look at what happened in new york city when pro-palestinian protesters clashed with the nypd and now we're hearing that the nypd went to a level 3 mobilization. it's the second highest alert level at the nypd has. there were also demonstrations that descended on the home of lloyd austin and jake sullivan as well in washington, d.c., guys. >> griff: yeah. if you are up here during the holidays as all you know there are millions of people in this city than any other time. a the big problem with that other than the city is quite amazing during the holidays.

so much cover and concealment that people would do them harm. these are protests. you take them at face value. they are there to exercise a first amendment right. the moment it turns violent, you have got to look into it and say were there people who came here explicitly for violence or people in the city right now who would do others harm and are they utilizing the first amendment people here celebrating. these protests have been doing this all weekend long. talking about the weekend. didn't go christmas shopping on fifth avenue because they were doing their, you know, you're shopping while are bombs are dropping. listen, i, like all of us are the strongest supporters ever free speech. but it's getting violent and it happened in washington at a pro-palestinian rally that i covered in front of the dnc several weeks ago. now in new york city. the nypd having to activate this level 3 stage. and, of course, their theme yesterday was christmas is canceled. that's what they wanted.

that's the message. pulling a blood red nativity scene around. okay. great. you are getting your first amendment on? on christmas? that's what you want to do. you have every right in this free country to do it. but, when it gets violent, at some point, a line has to be drawn and say no. you can't do that we have talked for weeks now about how the -- from the river to the sea, is a call for genocide. you had all of the ivy league presidents, mit, harvard, and upenn that couldn't bring themselves to condemn a call for genocide. but what we're seeing in the streets and what we are seeing to tie this to campuses, too, is concerning because ultimately, people, for no other reason than the fact they were born jewish are threatened now. so, will authorities -- and where is the administration? >> carley: also counter productive. who are you persuading to come to your side when you are gluing yourself to sixth avenue during the macy's thanksgiving day parade? there was a christmas caroling event in washington square park

in washington and new york city as well. and these pro-palestinian protesters were circling the carolers, horn honking. one protester stood on top of an suv with monster car wheels waving a pro-palestinian flag. "the washington post" interviewed a bunch of those carolers. one young woman says she supports a cease-fire. she said carolers of all races and persuasion are caroling together in the spirit of the holiday. these jerks are driving around with music blasting and annoying the everloving bleep out of people whose support are they trying to win over. really quickly, joey, some these protesters are holding signs, justice, humanity, free fmla palestine. if you are calling for justice and humanity you should draw your ire against hamas holding the palestinian people hostage as well. the unemployment rate in gaza is 47%. and more than 80% of the population lives in poverty. hamas has no shortage of cash.

>> joey: i think you give them too much kreu9 when you ask the question who is they trying to win over. stirring up others who might be radicalized by this movement. short-sighted but absolutely stoked in this vile passion to be -- to do harm. to make people upset, to hurt people, to be join the fight the antifad do. not about persuading american politicians. joey. >> griff: we want a cease-fire to end the violence there so we will commit violence here to get it. i got the message. that's real clear. still ahead we are just days ahead a2024. joe manchin rumor mill new hampshire joe biden's hollywood tree much more on that. >> joey: 2024 may be a record year for weight loss medication. dr. marty makary all you need to know major diet drug. as more americans look to ditch the bad habits in the new year ♪ the last but it probably won't

medical contributor dr. marty makary that one is marketed for diabetes i have seen a lot of celebrities are using that drug as a way to have just specifically weight loss. now we have two drugs on the market potentially stronger and they're targeting weight loss. what does this mean and what are the risks? >> well, good morning. you are right. in those commercials people are always dancing and you wonder why they're even advertising demand is so high they can barely keep up. there was a trial that recently concluded and it went head to head with ozempic, it was the new tirzepatide that's what's in zepbound and monday juror row. it won, it had about 7.5% more weight loss in those drugs and makes sense that drug tirzepatide in zepbound and mounjaro, these drugs are mimics

normal hormones in the body. they reduce your appetite. they slow down the gi tract that's why one of the side effects transition period for a few months described as a period with nausea and vomiting on occasion and some bloating. >> joey: looking at this to dive deeper wegovy and ozempic they effect one hormone. this zepbound and the other drug you mentioned attacks two different hormones. that word hormone being pretty interesting to me. as a 30-something aged male i know that hormone replacement has become trendy in the last five or 10 years. now we are talking about weighted loss through hormone plings? is that a concern? is there a problem there and long term effects that maybe we are not seeing? >> there are some long-term effects that people don't hear about. all they hear about is profound weight loss. up to 50 pounds with significant

obesity over the course before six months. you have a problem where you are lifelong dependent on these medications. you also have the issue that you have those side effects of sort of gi dismotility. there has been some occasional case reports of some vision issues retin nope patty. there is unknown long term. are you also losing valuable muscle mass? muscle mass is the number one predictor of how long you live. there is an unknown there. and individual level i should mention that you can sometimes tell if somebody is on these medications not only because the weight loss but their face has nor sagging. as a matter of fact, when i walk around i can sometimes spot it has a patient comes to you maybe obesity or are you going to pride this medicine or go toward

to the ladder news of this thage continues today the agents overwhelmed. they are seeing 3,000 a day. and you have got things, a situation now where the border patrol agents are all under that port of entry. they are unable to patrol open areas. it's a real problem but try and paint for our viewers really what you saw in the situation there and have you ever seen it like that? >> no. i mean, would very been going to eagle pass since 2021, it's the worst i have ever seen it. griff, as you know, up until recently, whenever people cross, border patrol was able to keep everybody under international bridge 2. because there are so many people coming at one time, they have had to use basic delay that is right next to the bridge to try to hold everybody. it's really untenable. and it's causing all those bridge closures which hurts the economy. it hurts american citizens coming back from mexico there was one gentleman that and his wife that were going their way

to chicago for christmas. they had been in the line for seven -- i'm sorry, 11 hours h they had been in 5:00 a.m. and he was now crossing at 6:00 p.m. it is just the worst i have ever seen it. not even just eagle pass. it's multiple places along the border that are seeing this. in this caravan that's coming. i mean, that's just the norm now. it was big headline news when there was that caravan under the trump administration. and that was one or two times. and now we are seeing caravans leaving tapachula on a pretty consistent basis. >> griff: this is now the norm. that 10,000 plus migrants every day illegally crossing our border and overwhelming our agents is becoming the norm. what does mayorkas and blinken need to accomplish out of? what's the teenage away that needs to many do out of this meeting with mexican president obrador. >> well, they need to do what president trump did. and that's actually pressure mexico to do something about it. part of the reason why mexico

allows this to happen is because it's not only the cartels to make money off the migrants but government officials. there is corruption in state, local, and the federal government. because it's them. why not in the cartels are making money. so they can make money as well. and if they don't get mexico's cooperation, then there is really no point to having this meeting. >> griff: it seems that mexico's immigration out reef sources they have no money. that's a problem. i want to also talk about what the border patrol agents and officials are telling you and me and every other border reporter, bill melugin, behind the camera, off camera, and this is their concern of the national security risk that the country has never faced a greater national security risk at the border based on what is coming in. we saw the terror watch list after the latest november numbers were released. you got 30 this fiscal year since october 1st, 30 members, individuals have hit the terrorist screening database. this picture, which came from a

got away camera, of a migrant in eagle pass is i crossing in the normandy area which is 15 miles north of that port of entry, carrying a rifle. they could not send agents. he is free in the u.s. somewhere doing god knows what. so, what do you say about the risk we're facing from a national security aspect? >> it's real. it's unbelievable what is being allowed to happen and it's putting americans at risk. and it's not even that but even people who give themselves up willingly and processed they are committing pretty serious crimes once they get to the final destination. multiple murders including a young girl in texas by somebody who was a minor at 17 at the time. and 1 and then he killed this girl and did horrible things to her. so, it's the national security risk. it's putting the general population at risk. and it's just -- you know, it's

not racist to say that not because we are scared of foreigners, no. when you have people who we have no idea who are coming across, they could be anybody. >> griff: they could. before we run out of time, i want to show a puppy that was abandoned by migrants at the border. they crossed told they couldn't keep the puppy. so they left him. here is your puppy. her name is bellla. and you rescued her. what a christmas miracle. there she is in your arms. quickly tell me about her. >> yeah. so, we -- my friends and i, we found out that this puppy had been abandoned so we had to go find her. we were able to track her down. i always loved dogs hay chihuahua for 1 years. so i have a soft spot for small dogs in particular. you know what you? are coming home with me. she is doing pretty good. >> griff: she clearly is not up for morning television. she little sleepy.

she didn't want to come here this morning. julio rosas, thank you, keep up the great work. our best to bellla. super cute. great christmas story. thanks, julio. >> thanks, merry christmas. >> griff: coming up, the day after christmas, and if santa brought you some high tech toys, you are probably wondering how to set them up and protect your privacy. kurt the cyberguy joins us with that if you are sitting home fridge full of leftovers. chef is here to show you how to turn them into healthy recipes to kick start your new year's resolution. that's next. ♪ ♪ i work hard, i work hard look u're 8 ♪ don't have it. yup, i knew it.

for toilet paper and batteries can it sell cars? kurt, what do we need to know about this. amazon just announced they will be selling cars in 2024. >> carley, they have dabbled it in this in the past. now they have actually reached agreement with hyundai, 2024 coming up next year log on to amazon just as easily as you order anything else, you will be able to order a new hyundai and you know you would only go to the dealer to pick up your car. that's really their only interface. buying on amazon is now going to be an easy way to get a car. the question is what do dealers think about this? pilot dealers seem very encouraged they say they have open dialogue with amazon because where do dealers make their money? on financing and upselling extended warranties and stuff like that. how are they going to do that? amazon said we will work with you on that. apparently the pilot dealers like this concept eventually cut

out the leadership. >> wild if one day you could put a car in amazon carted and shows up at your door. it looks like that's the direction we are heading. in speaking of directions tesla next generation of human mid to robots about to make its debut. what do we need to know about this. is it creepy is it weird? what is in our future. >> all of the above it. could be very helpful in life. elon musk makes all kinds of promises and then he has this sort of 80% delivery on everything that he does. remarkable what he does think about it kind of crazy and genius. 511 inches. travels 5 miles per hour. tasks we don't want to do dangerous, difficult or dull. around 20 grand when this comes out in the future. when can is it coming out? we will let you know. his predictions aren't so great in terms of timeline. >> carley: kind of crazy and kind of a genius making a human mid to robot sounds like a movie

retailers that people buy. you can see it on the screen. they have made policies a little more difficult. do you want to read those. >> joe: i don't know if cars fit into this. but if you bought something at amazon, it's cut its holiday return window by three weeks this year. i'm not sure what the dates are look at best buy there it accepts returns up until januar. which sounds like a lot of time. by the time you get to the new year and festivities and back to work. i feel like that's not a lot of time at all. that's just for things purchased between october 27th and december 30th. look down the line costco didn't put in a deadline for returns on most items, look at electronics and most appliances, 90 day return window that sounds reasonable. macy's a big retailer are going to charge you 10 bucks to return online orders. staples and it says they lost nine days off their return window. walmart has it right. i think this makes sense. if you bought online, your returns are free. most items purchased between october 1st and

december 31st you have got all the way to the end of january. i think a month to get your life rearranged to start looking at those things you had piled in the corner that you got for christmas and say hey, this doesn't fit me or this doesn't work right, let me return it. i think that makes sense. >> joey: if you got the gift return card, i wonder if that helps you. >> joey: receipt? >> joey: is a return, does that include exchanges like hey, i like this but i need it two sizes bigger because i ate a lot of food or returns specifically to get your money back? >> carley: these are specifically to get your money back, not exchanges. maybe not across the board it. depends on the store. i was reading that stores across the board a lot of them have made it more difficult to make returns since covid-19 because some people were buying online and then there were so many people returning stuff and that cost stores a lot of money about. 40% of retailers now charge for online return from 31% last year. kind of interesting statistic.

>> joey: i'm not a big returner. my sister bought me the same shirt two years in a row the wrong size both years. that's the only thing can i remember that i wish i would have returned. again i got so busy put in the closet and came back to it. irony first year she bought extra large i gave it away. the next year thee intowt did n a large i ne needed it it bigge. >> carley: sister trying. >> griff: full-time except for size exchanges. >> carley: kurt has good idea. >> griff: you are welcome amazon. >> carley: blizzard warnings in effect across the central u.s. the winter storm is expected to cause major travel delay force millions of hollywood travelers. >> griff: nebraska state police sharing photos of 18 wheelers that slid off the road, partially blocking interstate 80. >> griff: southeast heavy rain still pouring down on several states and they face a flash flooding risk. meteorologist adam klotz is here now with our fox weather
