4:02 am
stand there. so it's underneath the stand. so you got to undo the stand, because my guy did it. in the customersry and he hammers it in. so then i have got to hammer it out and 8-foot tree and 8-foot ceiling. i'm getting marks on my ceiling in order to get my tree in a bag. >> steve: you put the tree in the stand on the bag and then you put pull the bag up that's the instruction. >> brian: you put it prior to buying the tree. you go to the nursery with a tree bag? >> steve: you have the tree bag at your house. >> brian: no my nursery guy slam it in. >> lawrence: install it himself where did you put the bag. >> brian: put the bag under the stand brian. >> ainsley: this is your tree put the bag over the tree and turn it over the needles are not going to fall out because they are in a bag and then break the bag at the bottom and take out your stand. >> brian: that's not a bad idea the key is don't spill the
4:03 am
water. >> steve: you were describing what i was saying. put the bag on the floor and the tree with the stand on it. bag it up. this is what you are supposed to do. because i did it a million times. you bag it up. you take it out of the house. and then you take the stand off. >> brian: here's the problem still got water in it. >> brian: tilt it out. >> steve: it's a plastic bag. >> brian: that is paper. >> lawrence: handy dawn does all the work. >> ainsley: why don't we put. >> brian: film it. >> ainsley: the bag, even if it's open on the border above the stand. and then. >> steve: that's not going to work. it. >> lawrence: sounds like a mess. >> steve: that's why we have electric trees. >> ainsley: get a foe tree. a fake tree. just easier. >> or just throw the stand away with the tree. >> brian: garbage man jam the tree in the back. >> ainsley: how much is the tree stand could you throw it away.

>> steve: you want to keep it. >> brian: severing disposable. no place to store anything in new york city. >> brian: that's true. >> steve: i think we solved that it's 7:03 now here in the east. our top story, man, come and look at the screen. shocking video of a convict attacking a judge inside auto las vegas courtroom that was him flying over the bench. >> lawrence: the career criminal snapped because he didn't agree with the sentence. >> brian: todd piro went to law school and this was never in your briefing. >> todd: to be realistic i never even thought about this happening when i was in a courtroom. you go in and have bailiffs and security. go do your business and leave. you never have a fear that you are going to be attacked. but that convicted felon is actually due back in court this morning after flinging himself over the bench, taking down a clark county judge just moments after she denied his probation request. >> i think it's time he gets a
4:05 am
taste of something else. i can't let that history in accordance with the laws of the state of nevada [bleep] >> whoa, whoa, whoa. [shouting] [scuffle] >> todd: he was in court for sentencing after pleading guilty in november of a charge of attempted battery. the judge felt he should be back behind bars due to his lengthy rap sheet. within the past decade he has been convicted of free felony charges, misdemeanor battery and destruction of property. the court spokesperson saying, quote: we commend the heroic acts of our staff, law enforcement and all others who subdue the defendant. the court remains committed to a safe and secure courthouse and courtrooms. we are reviewing all our protocols and do whatever is necessary to protect the judiciary, the public, and our employees. court officials say the judge was hurt and a marshall was
4:06 am
hospitalized. he is reportedly in stable condition, now facing several new charges including battery on a protected person but, man that, video was wild to watch, guys, back to you. >> and todd, you know, we have been talking about jurisdictions and judges who are soft on crime like here in new york city. people never wind up in front of a judge because oftentimes the cops just say you know what? you are going to walk out. i'm not going to write it up. in this case she was actually kind of going to throw the book at him because he had done too much. >> that goes back to this concept we always talk about. the lack of respect for the court system, for the law they are edge boldened to do whatever they want out on the streets. if they're prosecuted they now feel emboldened to do whatever they want in the system. that's not right that shows a breakdown of the system. it has to be stopped. >> ainsley: who is your football team? it's too bad this guy has a lengthy rap sheet he could have been a great athlete.
4:07 am
>> lawrence: great defensive end. >> courtroom that you are more worried about the families of the victims in the audience. and that's why you kind of staring in the back but in this case you got to be protecting the judge. to that that point i wonder going forward to keep everybody protected. the victim the victim's families. we have to keep everybody in handcuffs i know it's not popular. >> how do they decide that, todd? >> really good question. it's probably jurisdiction by jurisdiction my guess if you go to a state like texas or florida and depending upon the sentence that something meted out at that point based upon the crimes that he has been convicted of. you know, you don't go full hannibal elector but maybe something that sort of con strains the individual so they can't do something. provided that the crime is come miss rat. we can't have. >> steve: shoplifting wouldn't even be in court. >> mini jurisdictions, yes. >> lawrence: normally change
4:08 am
posture if the person is going to be in prison for life or something like that. >> lawrence: my first job was in a juvenile court working for a judge. in tv you see all the time that the bailiff is right there next to the judge. and most courtrooms it's not the same. the bailiff is onto the side making sure people don't disrupt the court with their cell phones and everything. they have already been checked for weapons and all that they may need to relook at how they have the bailiff positioned going forward. >> todd: also to your point, lawrence, the bailiff often has other jobs within the courtroom, not just security. they're helping with administrative, they are bringing paperwork, processing. yeah. so maybe we need to rethink that maybe have the court clerk do the processing and the bailiff focused 100 percent on security. again, i'm not faulting the bailiff in. this please don't misread. this oftentimes they have other things that they're doing. fortunately this situation the bailiff jumped in and helped solve this problem. >> ainsley: i wonder what changes that judge will make going forward? do they have to be handcuffs?
4:09 am
>> steve: maybe it's on video. >> brian: going to happen people's court on television. howard levin. >> todd: harvey wouldn't stand for that harvey would have taken that guy out. >> ainsley: thank you so much, todd. >> steve: i remember the old days judge whopner and doug lewellyn. i do remember. >> brian: if you have a judge show and this ever happened to you 1-800-tell fox. >> steve: wait, jeanine pirro is calling. >> brian: to a fox weather alert. it is looking like a messy weekend around the east coast. in the northeast record snow drought could be coming to an end. >> the first nor'easter of 2024 could bring measurable snow to several cities that's meters as well as inches, including here in new york. >> ainsley: meteorologist adam klotz is here with your fox weather forecast. hey, adam. this is the big question. where will that snow ultimately go. there is a massive system run its way up the coast. there is warm air in place. not everybody on that snow
4:10 am
drought is going to see snow or at least a lot of snow. think saturday night into sunday and through the day on sunday, that is when a lot of folks are going to be dealing with this at least the snow parts of it. ice across portions of the carolinas up into virginia. really higher elevations there. freezing rain obviously could be a major concern. the snow, everything you looking at pink the snow heaviest. places d.c. and philadelphia, even new york kind of on the lower end ever the snow possibilities because the air is going to be a little bit warmer. this is a zoom-in of new york city. this is our most recent model run, anywhere from 1 to 3 inches it. would only take one inch to break a snow drought in new york city. not necessarily a guarantee. but if you head a little bit farther north you do see that there's the drought. it's been around 700 days for a lot of these cities since we have seen measurable snow of an inch or more. those are your weather headlines for now tossing it back inside to all of you guys. >> steve: i'm hoping it rains.
