welcome to the "big weekend show". ♪ the big story tonight we are just hours away from ringing in the new year, here is live earth camp, millions of americans and cities coast-to-coast are gearing up to kiss 2023 goodbye and say hello to 2024. of course people still need to be safe, security is top of mind. for law enforcement have the ball drop in time times square. protests continue to loom over the festivities in new york city mayor eric adams is putting those groups on notice to be behave. >> we have witnessed a small number of people trying to embed themselves in protest and bringing about protest. this is a city where we clear a and there's no room for breaking

laws. you break the law you will have to deal with the new york city police department. >> fox news correspondent tv cotton is live in times square, chile but beautiful night, happy new year. >> we are less than five hours from ringing in the new year on the east coast and our people as far as the eye can see, the crowd is growing more excited by the minute. nypd is in full force tonight with uniformed undercover officers throughout the crowd. the good news is there are no pacific credible threats. i want to go to a live look of times where, thousands from around the world are packed in the organizers say the celebration has grown what it was before the pandemic shut the party down. protest continuing over the israel hamas war, nypd set up expanded security perimeter around times square which will help officers keep protesters

out of the party so listen to this. >> october 7, we been picking up for all major events we've had in the city so there's a lot of work on the scenes, you're going to see the resources, radiation detection, counter drone, sand trucks but there's everything you don't see and all that together bringing the machine for securing everyone here. ♪ >> there was already one pro- palestinian rally in the city called shut it down for palestine, police say they won't shut down anything and they certainly did it. the group was blocks from the times square area, drones and surveillance robots playing a key role to help officers monitor protests in large crowds from the street level and above. >> this is the future of policing.

can you imagine if there is any emergency we can use drones to make announcements and let the public know what exactly what to do, where exactly to go. this technology is helping keep new yorkers safe. >> i can tell you the crowd is amped. performers are on the stage rehearsing, we saw megan italian do her thing and nypd is reminding everyone part of staying safe is if you see something, say something. >> absolutely, we are grateful for nypd, fbi as well who talked about counterterrorism measures. how long did these entities together prep for tonight's event? >> obviously a lot of prep works goes into an event of this scale. they started preparing a year in advance and actors night they will take what they learned, what worked and what didn't and apply it to next year's pla planning. >> this is joey, you talked

about pro- palestinian protests, our police concerned they can do so much it would disrupt the ball drop or cause a scene in a violent way? >> great question. police knew in advance that would likely be a rally because throughout the holiday season, social justice coalitions across the state : supporters to go to holiday festivities and agitate them, disrupt them but they've encouraged people to boycott retail and commercial stores but nypd feels confident they will be able to keep protests that pop up out of tonight's festivities and they go to the rockefeller tree lighting as an example how officers did that get protesters wanted to get near the treatment got nowhere near it so nypd says they feel confident about tonight. >> the irony is pro- palestine rallies are going on, hamas is

no flying rockets into israel as it struck midnight in israel. moving on go. what type of security measures are you seeing out there? obviously there is a lot behind the scenes we don't know about but what can you tell us? >> in addition to uniformed officers i mentioned, plainclothes officers as well, also security perimeter at times square we see officers on horseback and we are noticing nypd is diligent at security checkpoints and perimeter making sure no one gets in with items not permitted in the area. backpacks, alcohol, water bottles and things, they are diligent. we also know there are helicopters supposed to provide surveillance nypd is well aware a single person can cause a lot of chaos. last year three officers were assaulted by a man with a machete, only eight blocks from

here. >> this is me fail, best dressed man in cable news. this is obviously a big night but i want to know is, are there any other groups that come in to help nypd from outside jurisdictions or departments? >> this is a joint effort. fbi new york field office has a command post where they monitor social media and any potential threat. fbi has bomb techs and swat officers. we also know new york governor kathy hochul erected state police to be staffed full capacity over the weekend. she has asked troopers to be out at the critical infrastructure and monitor transit systems across the state to make sure everybody is safe this is a joint effort among local state and federal local law enforcement to keep hundreds of thousands out here who want to

lot of people in a small space, you have to use the restroom as jimmy alluded to for some who don't want to wear a diaper. unless you have a reservation or ticket to a restroom -- or a restaurant, you can't go to the restroom. it is a debacle.

>> this will be the cost for ai destroying us, climate change is getting so bad got to get rid of this, this will be the catalyst. >> make sure everybody has their wine and doctor saphier has her champagne and ai is brilliant. >> here's the thing about climate change, i visited napa, i didn't have any business being there, it's a different color than me, i don't drink wine, i can't afford 500 million acres of land but i was there for a day and i learned a lot. the first thing is this year is one of the wettest years and that part of california where they grow wine because of that and others a lot more brass in with the grass died, it made the wildfires worsened when you take the part of the world god made and get rid of the natural belligerent bring something in, maybe it's us preening the problems and not the climate

change in. >> that brought us down a little. i am a microbiologist before going to school so i studied fermentation, winemaking process and i find it incredibly fascinating but i do know every year is incredibly different from moisture in the air, sometimes you get mold and other things, everything can change grapes from mineralization, rocks and everything so each year will be very different and it's interesting thing see things evolve but the man-made stuff, what year can cause wildfires, you get cash into the soil and that does because different tastes and that's why wine -- >> articles on board, ai has found its way in but in the crucial phase of mentation, a i understand everything you just said. >> one clarification, joey said putin, he was talking about napa

tracked and on an airplane you are essentially q-uppercase-letter can't walk out the door so there's something anyone who has underlying anxiety, this could worsen on an airplane so coupled with bad behavior and conditions and mental illness and there you go. >> maybe a little alcohol. >> they charge you for everything, who diagnosed a new condition they will be like check your condition for $2. >> bring your emotional support, or whatever you have. >> not declare before you got to the gate, $75. which hollywood celebrity would you smooch at midnight? yours truly hit the streets in new york city to find this burning new year's eve question next. ♪
