pete: it is the 7 a.m. hour of "fox & friends" -- carley: weekend! pete: weekend, on sunday, january 28th, year of our lord, 2024. and former president trump taking shots at biden's battle with texas as he promises to help border states instead of fighting them if he gets reelected. carley: plus, jay leno reveals why he won't do political jokes anymore. will: and may the best friend win. rick issuing a geography challenge yesterday. >> not only am i good at it, i'm amazed sometimes how bad pete is at it. pete: oh, come on. will: could i beat you at a geography competition? rick: not a chance. will: it is on. we put our geography if knowledge to the test with a competition. the second hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now. ♪ ♪ you're my if brown-eyed girl.

♪ do you remember when we used to sing ♪ will: do you think it's the most catchy song? if is it the hardest song not to sing along to? if. carley: it's a toe-tapper. pete: pretty tough. thely ins are pretty easy -- lyrics are pretty easy. will: van morrison holds up too. '60s, '70s, 2020s, van morrison, always good. carley: that's the thing about a music today. do you think it's going to hold up in 30 years from now? will: you mean if are you taking a shot at taylor swift? [laughter] carley: ooh, her songs could hold. pete: taylor swift's won't hold, morgan wallen's will hold. carley: i think country -- pete: no? if. will: this is, how old is this song? late '60s, early '70s?

so we're listening to this 50 years later, and it, and everyone still loves it. pete: brown-eyed girl. will: right? i think. the 20-somethings, they like that? pete: absolutely. carley: undeniably good. will: so we're talking about in 2070 taylor swift songs are still toe-tappers -- pete: they're out. carley: or 2070, young people go, man, the beatles did something good there, and they just skip over this generation. what's -- i don't know. i don't know the answer. pete: what of our era holds? carley: yeah. pete: that's what i think -- will: i don't, i'm a fan, i think there's a better chance zac bryan is around in 2070. pete: more than morgan wallen? will: i do think so. here's another question, was van morrison, i don't think then he was the taye taylor -- taylor swift of that time. it wasn't super popular, right? i'm sure it was popular, but

probably a little more like zac bryan. not taylor swift popular. carley: yeah. he wasn't a pop artist either. will: the stuff that rides the highest in the short term doesn't make it the longest -- pete: would that be like the beach boys? they were high at their time, but they don't hold -- kiln. will: no. beach boys are quality. brian wilson and pet sounds, that's artistry. the monkeys may not -- carley: well all -- we all have to live til 2075 -- will: oh, i'll be long gone. pete: 2075? you could make it easily. you'll have a feeding tube or a ventilator, but finish. [laughter] by the way, stick around for our geography test. i haven't done -- i should have studied last night. will: i didn't know -- carley: the maps? pete: yeah, why not? a little quick check of the maps, maybe a little check on eastern europe -- carley: to head to head to head -- pete: is this international or

domestic? i don't know. carley: let's talk about domestic politics, if you will. should i transition to what's going on with former president trump? he was on the campaign trail yesterday in las vegas, a city that we can find on the map, i sure hope, and he was talking about the border battle between the federal government and the state of texas that has ramped up in ways that i don't think any of us could have foreseen. he says that if he becomes the next president again, all that goes away. >> instead of fighting border states, i will use every resource, tool and authority of the u.s. president to dee fend the united states -- defend the united states of america from this horrible invasion that is taking place right now. [cheers and applause] there's never been anything like it. texas will be given with full support, and i will deploy all necessary if military and law enforcement resources to seal up the final section of border. rather than helping texas to build our border security up, crooked joe biden is fighting

texas to tear our beautiful border security down. they're cutting all the wire. let's cut the wire, let everybody in. no, no, they want open borders. pete: and this will be a continuing, common refrain not just the right policy, but good politics when you look at coming out of iowa and new hampshire and immigration, border security was a top issue amongst voters. it's percolating into the democratic and independent if side of the aisle. so if joe biden thinks he's going to give a couple speeches like we showed last hour -- carley: no one's buying it. pete: and this guy's going to hammer home i was the original border security guy, i did it. i put policies in place, they're taking them away, it's a political liability for joe biden. and not only is that a reason, the politics is not the reason not to do the bill, but ultimately they're hoping the compromise bill will be a bailout to biden. can. carley: right. pete: i don't think that's the case. will: this was the number one issue in both iowa and new hampshire. and i do think it's breaking

through to non-republican voters. i've seen bill ackman, the wall street financier who is family noun -- famously now gone after both harvard and business insider tweeting about immigration. carley: yeah. will: it's starting to become an issue for people regardless of political affiliation. and now there will be this massive truck convoy head dog texas to send a message -- heading to texas to send a message, part of the take our border back movement. we the people are resolute to stand, to send a peaceful, lawful and clear message to all city, state and federal politicians and immigration enforcement officials who are enabling tens of thousands of illegal entrants, criminals and known terrorists from 160 countries worldwide to cross daily into our country along the southern border. carley: yeah. so this convoy of people across the country, concerned citizens, are all going to be heading to the southern border starting on february 3rd. so this is something to watch out for. i'm sure we're going to be

getting images and talking about it once this convoy heads down there. to your point, this wouldn't be happening, this group of people and trucks and cars, however they choose to head down there, wouldn't be happening if they trusted what the president right now is saying, that he wants to shut the border down. and i can't, i mean, i just can't imagine what brandon judd and all the border patrol folks think when they hear president biden saying now i want to shut the border down when they've been in the trenches for four years for such a crisis that he created. could you imagine? if. pete: what a mess. carley: yeah. it's all politics. pete: if not doing their job and then fighting texas over control of parks and certain areas so that they can process more people more quickly and not actually defend our border? many. carley: yeah. pete: that's why you've got average people saying we're going to drive down there and show our solidarity for texas. carley: exactly. pete: let's hope texas actually holds the line. so, yeah, politically, it can get a little frustrating. which brought us to this next

topic which is jay leno. a lot of people loved him, and the reason is he usually took on both sides. you've seen how late night comedy it's all left wing, it's all bash trump. i don't know what jay leno's politics are, but he was a fun-loving guy. made fun of democrats, made fun of republicans for the most part. i'm sure people have done the math and maybe he skewed one way or another, but he was on with our own piers morgan talking about the state of politics and what you can actually joke about. here he is talking about some jokes he doesn't tell anymore, watch. >> i just stopped doing politics in my act altogether because, you know, when i did the tonight show, the idea was to make fun of both sides equally. you're a republican p well, you and your democratic buddies, and they'd be angry. that's good, you know? if now you've got to take a side, and people -- you know. >> and i find when i start to tell a political joke, they want

to know the punchline before, is this pro or against? you know, so i just stopped doing it. >> really? >> i just want people to come and laugh and have a good time. that's the idea of doing a comedy show. carley: that's right. going back to what used to work. he just wants everybody to have a good time. i never understood why there was this immediate draw to be political when it comes to late night if shows. people read the newspaperses, they think politics all day, they've talked about it. when you go home and sit on your copy, usually that's the last one -- thing you want to hear about if you want to unwind. will: well, in 2013, '14, '15, jimmy fallon was doing really well in the ratings, and he was having almost a variety style show of a prom -- program. and once donald trump came along are, he became the nation's ultimate reality show in that everything had to be about donald trump. i can promise you, it became the

major topic in sports. and so what happened was all those late night if comedians went anti-trump, and all of a sudden somebody like stephen colbert starts beating jimmy fallon, and everyone takes the cue and follows it down the path until everything is about donald trump, everything is, therefore, politicized. and now that's every aspect of our culture. carley: yeah. remember how jimmy fallon had to apologize apparently when he had donald trump on and messed up his hair because people said it humanized trump. pete: yeah. and he learned i better never do that again. i better go after him. carley: it's so sad. i like what jay leno had to say. pete: i do too. he always felt to me like a fun-loving guy. just wants to have a good time, wants to be friends. speaking of a good time, jimmy failla was going to join us on this show at 9:30, stay with us, don't go anywhere. the prompter said 9:30, the graphic says 9:ooh. -- 9:50. so it's one of the two.

[laughter] it's 9:30. carley: if he comes on at 9:50, he'll be 20 minutes late e. p. president but he says it's not the republican party or the democrat party, it's a keg party. carley: i love that line. it's so funny if. okay, so let's talk about movies, and one of the biggest movies that everybody talked about this past year was the barbie movie. and, of course, the big news is that margot robbie and greta gerwig got snubbed for best director, best actress awards but ryan gosling got best supporting actor. hillary clinton posted a tweet about it, little flashback. she said, greta and margot while it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, you're both so much more than kenough. so she's talking about her own winning the popular vote but losing the election. so that's her take on it. there's also another take that people are talking about today on this movie.

pete: and here it is. from the independent, here's a headline, because this is the orr side of it. you've got the -- remember it was barbenheimer? carley: yep. pete: does oppenheimer's golden global herald a troubling return to hollywood's match macho dad movie days? so this is an unholy mix of angst over the fact that the movie about the preeminent female isn't won by the females and then the movie that's three hours long that is abo building a bomb is something that men like? carley: won a bunch of golden globes. pete: i don't understand how to add that together. will: the 3-hour biopic is quintessentially one for the guys and represents everything the oscars have been trying to, for years, move away from. so the movie that is based upon a toy and is fictional is the one that should represent the future of storytelling, and the one that is historical --

pete: exactly right. will: -- and nonfiction is a problem because the protagonist, that happened in reality, is a dude. cr cover i actually hi that that comment is incred by sexist. the movie about -- i don't even -- the movie about a historical moment, something that impacted millions of people, it's a really smart, well done movie. it's for men? if women can't like that movie? i watched it. i enjoyed it. so i wonder what that, that columnist would have to say about that? pete: men can't watch barbie and enjoy it? carley: yeah. pete: i didn't. carley: what did you think of it? i didn't like it. will: i didn't east. it was a waste of two hours. and i'm not saying that because i'm supposed to. carley: no, i am not either. will: whatever. i'm telling you, it just -- here's my test of movies, i have a simple test of anything i watch. does it inspire me to want to know more, right? if that's by favorite thing.

i mentioned yesterday i'm watching -- don't recommend it, by the way, t not great -- but on netflix the series griselda. carley: jlo? will: sofia vergara. it's biographical. and it's about a female. so you're like, hey, maybe this is what louis chilton wants us to talk about. she was one of the biggest godmothers of the drug industry in miami. why'd i brick that -- bring that that up? oh, yeah. i went to wikipedia, and i wanted to learn more. i like drug dealer stuff. so colombian cartel, miami, you know, i like my mexican drug cartel learning, but i went and learned more. barbie with, when it's over i'm, like, it's over. pete: same thing. oppenheimer, after that, i need to learn more about this guy. will: exactly. pete: was he a communist? if was it a fair portrayal -- because or, you know, it's all hollywood. matt damon if's anytime, is it really portrayed the way it was? if i want to know more.

that was the takeaway. by the way, our prices -- our producer pointed out that in the barbie movie, it's girls competing against girls. carley: katie axel made a great point. pete: for best actress. it's not like a guy beat out a girl -- carley: i know. it's one of those things, so, yeah, the best actress category is all women, so how could it be sexist if other women got nominated? just margot robbie is one woman who didn't? will: yeah. and he got best supporting actor. carley: which i think might be an easier category than -- pete: women beat other men at least for now. i don't know how they're going to handle that in the future with all the identification and stuff like that. with. will: he was also the best part of that movie. pete: was he? there you go. then he deserved it. carley: he was funny. will it's true and you know it. carley: i thought margot robbie did a great job is. it's a comedy, but i just didn't think it was that -- i didn't know what to think of it when

i -- was it a comedy or an anti-guy -- i'm not sure. will: all right. turning now to your headlines, the kansas city chiefs' fan who hosted a watch party where his three friends were found dead in his backyard earlier this month is, quote, very depressed. weirdest story. a source close to jordan willis' family tells fox nation, quote, not only is the whole country accusing him of murdering his friends without any factual details at this time, but he lost three close friends. authorities are awaiting toxicology reports for the three men, but police say the case is not being investigated as a -- pete: why does toxicology take so long? will: i don't know. pete: it's got to be they were incapacitated by something they took. will: they tell him they're leaving, that's the story, and they freeze in the backyard? it doesn't -- all right, camels, zebras and a horse run free as a semi truck hauling circus animals

erupts in flames on an indiana a highway earlier yesterday morning. troopers were papa trolling the area when they noticed the flames and rushed to bring the animals to safety. officials believe the fire was caused by an equipment failure. luckily, one of the 10 animals or the driver were hurt in the accident. and deion sanders being gifted a brand new colorado estate by his three sons. the new home brings sanders closer to the university of colorado's boulder campus. coach prime getting emotional over the gift. >> y'all three to, you know, want to put it together so the job makes ya straight, that's unbelievable, son. it almost provokes a tear. will: we're all sitting here going his sons can afford to buy him a home? pete: is that because of name, image and likeness? wuwell that would be a lot of -- can. will: i don't know. two of his sons are set to

return next season to play another season under their dad. pete: i need to know more. that'd be a good movie. a child that got that money. coming up, concerns over gain of function research as a watchdog shares a disturbing look at an nih lab reportedly experimenting on animals with ebola? carley: dr. marc siegel and dr. robert redfield are calling for a moratorium on gain of function study, and they joan us next. ♪ i'm gonna hold you forever... ♪ ♪ i'll be there... ♪ ♪ you don't... ♪ ♪ you don't have to worry... ♪ choice hotels is a family of brands with a hotel

together considering what we are reporting now that that's taking place across the world? >> well, will, one of the reasons dr. siegel and i have done this is we're very concerned that there's another pandemic on the horizon. it's not a question of if, it's a question of when. and one of the risks of increasing that possibility is the manipulation of viruses in the laboratory. we're both of the point of view that it's more likely that the current covid pandemic was not a cause of natural spillover, it was actually a cause of research that was done in the wuhan lab. and we think this tube of research poses an -- type of research pose ifs an inherent threat. and we're not convinced with the colleagues that support it that it's really necessary. we have good science capability right now, good a. i. capability. we think we can deal with new pathogen threats when they come. we don't have to try to create them to try to understand them. will: dr. siegel, can we do do

our to -- i think it's called steel man instead of straw man, those that support gain of function. the idea in their minds is what? and c. redfield began -- dr. redfield began to hint at it there, i think. oh, no, or we need to anticipate what could come along, create a vaccine. but in the process they create what could come along. >> will, as usual, you nailed it. basically, gain of function of this type is let's manipulate a virus to see if we can create something that nature could or couldn't do so that we can stay ahead of it so we can defend against it with hypothetical treatments and vaccines. now, first, there's obviously a problem with that. first of all, not all labs have biosafety level iv which, by the way, dr. redfield in 2019 closed down fort dietrich which was the army's research lab because he found all these violations and potential lab leaks. with we have lab leaks going on every day in the united states a and around the world, that's

number one. you can't do this safely. number two, you can't police the rest of the world. and if even dr. fauci has admitted that. so other countries, even if you think you have it under control here, you don't have is it under control there. and the third thing, and this is the most important, you already hinted at this, you could use artificial intelligence to create a computer model of this without ever involving a virus, and even that has risks. that has risks that someone's going to see that map and create the virus. this is an enormous problem, and the way we are going about it is very is dangerous. will: we're short on time, so i only have a chance to go back to wow one more time, dr. redfield, but i do want to ask you this, we talk a lot about china. so, and dr. siegel brought it up, different standards for safety across the world in doing this type of research. i mean, literally it's done across the world. should china be our primary concern? are they the ones that fail the most consistently to live up to safety protocols? >> no, will, i think it's

probably much more broad. i think my biggest concern is that this type of research now is done in academic labs all over the world that a really don't have the biocontainment that they should. so i think the obviously china has concerns because they've shown a propensity to do this type of research, but i do think my biggest concern is the broader academic labs across the world that are doing this in a fairly nonregulated way. will: this could spill out opt some university in sweden, you're saying, or for that matter the unite. >> or the united states, yes. and the other concern that we both have is that as the research has been done and published, they published a map on how to create these viruses that then could be used for bioterrorists. will: that's what dr. siegel was just talking about when you were mentioning a.i. i've got to run, but that sounds like, oh, we can do it without actually creating it, but you've created the map as i heard you

say, dr. siegel. dr. marc siegel, dr. robert redfield, thanks so much for high highlighting the topic. hopefully we can talk more about this issue in the future. thank you. we did reach out to the nih for comment this morning but have not yet heard back. still ahead, for 40 years our next guest has been inspiring americans from his iconic tune. ♪ and and i'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today ♪ will: now lee greenwood is combining his passion for faith and freedom, and he's going to tell us about it next. there's something going around the gordon home. good thing gertrude found delsym. now what's going around is 12-hour cough relief. and the giggles. the family that takes delsym together, feels better together.

and now to commemorate national bible sunday, the icon is out with the god bless the usa bible which also includes the constitution, the bill of rights and the declaration of independence. finish lee greenwood joins us now here on "fox & friends" weekend. lee, great to see you. >> thanks. great to see you as a well. pete: congrats, first, on 40 years of "god bless the usa." it's a song that just lives on. >> i've sang it several times here on "fox & friends," and it's always thrilling when people join me and honor the country. it's had an interesting rise since the time i wrote it in the back of my bus in 1981, you know? it became somewhat of a country song in 1985, and then song of the year there for the cm if a a, but later on, of course, it became somewhat international because of the war, you know, the gulf war and hen the attack on america which, of course, i came to new york several times to honor that. pete: no doubt. and now on national bible day,

you're out with a bible. tell us about the god bless the usa bible. >> yeah. this is very unique. it's beautiful. it's leather-bound, it's got the gold pages, you know, with the onion leaf. but when the president puts his hand on the bible and swears allegiance to protect and defend the constitution of the united states, i don't know how many people had a chance to read the constitution lately, but it's in the back pages of this book, also the declaration of independence is in here, the bill of rights and the pledge of allegiance. and the publish everybody asked me if i would handwrite the chorus of usa, and i did that. that's in her -- here as a well. it's beautiful to hold. all listeners should have this bible. it's god bless the usa bible.com or lee greenwood.com and get on the tab that says god bless the usa holy bible. pete: god bless the usa bible.com if you want one. and this isn't your first one doing this, because i've had one of these for years. why the bible? why's it so concern. >> you know, my wife and i both

have -- and, by the way with, hi, kim, home with her father jim. we each have a family bible, and then we have a family tree bible, you know with, where you have the deaths and marriages and things written in the front of the bible? that's table piece. we have -- we had some people come over from next door, and they were thumbing through the family tree and and said is interesting how our country got started. i got to thinking, maybe people should have that in their hand. those documents along with our faith. so if god honors this, i'm happy about it. pete: i love it. well, the two have been, from the beginning, were intertwined as much as people want to tell us otherwise. >> yes. pete: bible was central to the founding of our country, and now you can get the documents in the back part of it as well. check it out. god bless the u.s. bible -- can usa bible or fir you find lee greenwood. you're the best. >> good to see you. pete: still ahead, house republicans look to ban the white house from removing

carley: a group of house republicans are introducing a bill that would dam the federal government from removing four hydroelectric dams in washington state. they argue, quote, the biden administration claims to advocate for green energy solutions yet disregards that notion when told to by manipulative environmental activists who do not understand how critical the dams are to the pacific north best and a clean energy future. joining us now is the washington association of wheat growers' executive direct or michelle henning. michelle, good morning to you. tell us about the importance of these hydroelectric dams not just for folks in the pacific northwest, but for all of us. >> yes. our dams are extremely vital to our farmers, and everybody across the united states. with we utilize the system to transport our commodities overseas.

we have corn, soy and wheat coming through our system from the midwest. the reliability is absolutely vital for us as 90% of washington wheat is exported. we feed our nation along with others outside of our nation, so we -- it's very important that we keep our transportation system in place. carley: yeah. at first glance this seems like it would be a local issue, but it's absolutely not. so what are -- what's the worst case she flare owe here -- scenario here, and what are the chances that happens in. >> worst case scenario are we lose our transportation system and our reliability. we could lose our customers overseas. we have a lot of competition that's overseas with other countries. they are watching us right now. they are -- our system is one of the topnotch systems in the world. they are watching us, and they are building their system as we speak. these farmers rely on our transportation system, and a lot

of other stakeholders as well, just irrigation, rural economy. rural america right now, they are -- it's getting smaller or by the minute. we need to make sure that we support our farmers and make sure this does not happen. carley: the other thing saw that hydro power is fueled by water. it's a clean source of energy, so shouldn't environmentalists be happy? >> yes, they should. this doesn't make any sense. actually, those hydro dams are the cleanest way of transportation for us as well along with clean energy. it is one of the goals to meet our needs. and if so to remove them would totally throw us backwards. we put hundreds of thousands of trucks on the road along with having to rebuild the total infrastructure. carley: yeah. and the environmentalists say that these dams could be impacting the salmon population. how are the fish doing in your area? is there any truth to that concern? >> there's no sound-based science that says removal of the dams would help the salmon. we were left out of these

negotiation withs from the biden administration. we wanted a seat at the table so that we can come together as stakeholders and and agree if on solutions that will help assist the salmon. there are a lot of projects out there that federal funding could help with, but these dams have a high return rate for salmon passage. carley: michelle, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. have a great day. >> you too, thank you. carley: all right. let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth with our fox weather forecast. >> reporter: hey, good morning. a big storm across parts of the mid-atlantic, the ohio valley, in towards parts of the northeast, and the tail end of that front is going to be bringing cooler or air down across areas of florida. high temperatures in florida yesterday, we broke records. not a lot of rain here, but this is that front that pulls through, behind it we have cooler air coming in. this is the bulk of the moisture now. mostly rain, some snow. that snow is once you get a little bit of elevation, a few
