[jingle bells] >> excellent op-ed. we will get to that first of all good morning to you. >> griff: good morning, no debate whether or not christmas season ends or continues in the superdome. we were showing the will superdome because it's a cool shot. >> joe: that song is one of my guilty pleasures songs. that's on my gym play list right there. i'm not going to lie. >> rachel: i thought are a lot more manly songs. >> joe: there are hate songs got balance it out so you don't stay mad at the weights all day. >> griff: meet iron like meet me in the middle is that how it works? [laughter] >> joe: probably more like that than you guys realize. griff i didn't have we have to highlight just off air before we started complimenting joey's

pocket square -- those us in this business have to wear a pocket square because it looks good. you have pheasant feathers? >> these are peacock and others. this is a couple called barackish. i'm not promoting them i don't know them. they make the bow ties. >> rachel: cuff links. >> joe: cuff links for christmas game birds. that's why i wear them. big hunter and fisher. >> griff: a christmas gift? >> joe: yes. got to get the brownie points in early this year. >> griff: did you have a good christmas? >> rachel: i had a fantastic christmas. i'm going to give a picture to the producers to put up later in the show. i had 20 people at my house over the holiday for three days and 14 teenagers and little kids and it was wild and fun. >> griff: that's a lot of gift-buying right there. a lot of gift wrapping. >> rachel: santa was busy for sure. it was fun. i love christmas.

i'm obsessed and that's why i'm going to keep the party going all the way until the 6th of january. >> griff: wasn't totally a party for some because of that massive storm. we begin with a fox weather alert. nearly 60 people are dead across 12 states including 28 in western new york after a massive christmas weekend blizzard. >> rachel: that's right. it has been tougher. recovery efforts underway in the buffalo area which got hit with as much as 4 feet of snow over the weekend. >> joe: fox weather correspondent and snow walker as we learned yesterday, max gorden is live in buffalo with the latest. max? >> hey, good morning, guys, well, a lot of people here in buffalo woke up to additional snowfall this morning. not what folks wanted to sees a you mentioned, we are now over e buffalo area with several more inches left to go today. really, the duration of this event has been one of the biggest challenges for people here. unfortunately.

27 people here in erie county are confirmed dead. folks have been found in snow banks frozen to death. several people found in cars and unfortunately in some cases, emergency workers just haven't been able to get out to folks because the roads have simply been too bad. still at this hour thousands of people are without power and workers are trying to get the power back on. now, this storm has caused travel chaos all across the country. southwest airlines in particular has had to exan sell nearly 2500 flights. that's more than 60% of its schedule. of course, other airlines have also been impacted. here in the buffalo area, the airport has had to push bark its reopening several times. now it's not scheduled to reopen until tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. at the earliest. it's just been really hard to clear off runways and travel bans are still in place in some places here in erie county, here in buffalo in particular, though they have been lifted in other

areas. there is some good news today. some grocery stores and restaurants should be reopening just a sign of normalcy coming back to the folks here in buffalo. guys? >> rachel: all right. thank you so much. >> joe: thank you, max. >> thank you. >> joe: the weather is in a bad place. we have migrants now at the border who are actually freezing. it's crazy the idea that even in texas it's so cold. but that's not stopping the president from making his way to the virgin islands for the new year. there is a lot going on at the border and a lot going in the country president ready to have a good time. saint croix is that how you say that? >> rachel: enjoys the virgin islands. this is a president told us during the campaign he was scranton joe. in thanksgiving $20 million estate donor's house lent to him. the fancy wedding with the vogue shoot of hunter biden's daughter at the white house. now they are off to saint croix. it's interesting to me that and i hate doing the, you know, if

republicans did this, but i'm sorry. if a republican president in the middle of this storm, in the middle of -- it's not just that there is cold weather. that's mother nature. you can't stop that. but we have record level energy costs that are completely on purpose because of biden's policies and shutting down american energy. we have senior citizens on fixed incomes who can't hit their homes. some are dying because of that. i just think it's unbelievable that he gets a pass from the press on this kind of decision. and any other political, you know, republican house, white house, there would have been people saying i'm sorry, mr. president, this looks horrible. >> griff: yeah. >> rachel: not going to saint croix right now. >> griff: there are good optics and bad optics. lee i can't tell water of the reagan era republican strategist wrote the handbook on it and, of course, every administration focuses on it. you don't want your toes in the water, toes in

the sand when 60 people are dead across 12 states because of a blizzard and because title 42 could lift possibly today. the supreme court has slated it to end at 11:59 p.m. tonight unless they step in. it will end at midnight. and you've already got massive tents being set up outside of el paso. where we have seen so much of the crisis with those migrants laying out in the streets. you can see the cover of the "new york post" here welcome mat feds build massive tent city outside of el paso for biden's open border. a tweet from the san diego county supervisor further west. 646 migrants have been dropped off in san diego county over the past three days. he says our shelters are stretched beyond capacity. this is unsustainable and the federal government doesn't seem to care. retired border agent taping video of it that was given to me overnight. he runs a site called old patrol hq and you see some 50, 60

migrants here just north of san diego outside of a center where they are literally, yesterday, releasing migrants. he says most of the old patrol headquarters gentleman telling me that they're mostly going nicaraguans and cubans a few venevenezuelans. what you have the ngos have no places to put them the shelters are empty. got to go somewhere. they are dropped off with no instructions and no idea where to go. they simply can't deal with them. will. >> joe: this administration believes everybody across the border pure of heart individual who is just seeking ant opportunity. they want to come here and build this country stronger and all of those words sound fantastic. the truth is even with good people come bad things when there is chaos no, law and order. and this is a great example right here. raúl ortiz, border patrol chief tweeting he be alert we have

seen drastic increase of loaded firearms being carried by human smugglers. never get complacent and always approach with caution. stay safe out there and remember, this is important. you have a family to go home to at the end of your shift. i can attest to that i used to live in texas. i have a lot of friends. i was actually just talking downstairs with someone in our hair and makeup room santonio. people will know plentyton hours hour south of san antonio. two friends go into hunting blind and when they open the door were greeted by gahanna. where migrants had hid in there or smugglers. i don't know to me they're the same because, you know, it's like fighting the taliban or al-qaeda they don't wear a uniform. i don't know whether that's a drug smuggler or well-meaning family whether they have a gun pointed at me they are bad guy. two guys experienced that in the last five years down there. we are not making this up. people in texas aren't making this up. they fear for their lives

because there's complete chaos down there. if 1001 people crossed a border and 1,000 of them are good people, it only takes one to wreak havoc and take somebody's life. and americans have rate too be mad about that. >> rachel: just in the last year we know for a fact and these are just the numbers the government is willing to release to us. we know there are 90 known terrorists. god knows how many have gotten through. you talk about it takes just one. we have 90 that we know of. think about how many have gotten through that we don't know of or how many more our government is hiding from us because you know that the government doesn't want us to know the truth about how many terrorists have come through. and we have unbelievably the most dangerous border crossing in the world is the southern border here. rodney scott is a retired border patrol chief, this is what he says about the so-called preparedness plan coming from the biden administration for the end of title 42.

listen. >> all of my sources tell me there really is no plan. if you look at the omnibus, some of the language that's in there, it's basically to process people and release them into these communities as fast as possible. but i want people to stop and think about something. el paso is the biggest border town in along that texas border. and they cannot handle this flow. del rio is only about 30,000 people. that's the residence in that community. these are small border towns. they can't handle the flow. there weren't even enough flights out of el paso or san antonio this last week to be able to handle the local residents and all the migrants. this is beyond anything we have ever seen before. and with these frigid, frigid temperatures, the biden administration encouraging these people to come up and cross illegally is responsible for any deaths that took place. >> rachel: they are saying there is not even enough flights to get out. people sleeping, illegal migrants sleeping in our airport. many of them unvetted, griff.

as you know, the ngos can't keep up with this so the vetting is basically none. right? >> joe: ngos aren't exactly good actors all the time. >> rachel: i have say ngo in the negative when it comes to. these these are nongovernmental organizations. they are getting money and getting rich off of our tax dollars. they are actually pushing this -- these policies in our federal government in the biden administration is basically taking pressure from them. this is a big scam, a big scheme. and, again, at the airport, amounts he said they can't keep up with the flights and they're lying on the floor and, again, you and i can't get through without our i.d. how the heck are these people getting on flights when we know they are being vetted by shoddy ngos? >> griff: that's great question. the answer is over the past years i have been covering the border mcallen, el paso, literally migrants have pieces of paper. many of them have signs that say

i can't speak english, help me. you know how bad my spanish is. i have tried to help these people who literally have been put at the airport, given a flight and they don't know where to go or what has happened. anyway, still ahead dozens of families in mourning this weekend as the horrific crimes that rocked christmas. >> rachel: plus, return of the mass. the major u.s. city that could bring back temporary mandates in schools. muzzling our kids. >> joe: no thank you. ♪ i want to put on ♪ my, my, my boogie shoes ♪ and boogie with you ♪ yeah. ♪ i want to put on my boogie, shoes

playoffs after a dominant defensive display in indianapolis. the fight star safety derwin james getting kicked out of the game in the first half. >> here's another one. watch out a flag on the hit by derwin james who just laid out ashton. >> i think he may be watching the reps of this game from the locker room. >> indianapolis wide receiver ashton was diagnosed with a discussion after that hill. james was also treated under the league's concussion it protocol after looking woozy that is some clip there. >> griff: i felt that hit all the way over here. >> carley: so did i as i was reading it. it didn't feel good. >> joe: usually those little clips that's football. that was pretty tough. they call that the crown of the helmet. >> griff: would you throw a flag on that? >> rachel: listen, that looks so dangerous it made me go no kids play football. [laughter] >> rachel: i know that sounds like a downer.

>> joe: you can't do that. >> rachel: let's go to another debate. the great christmas debate is when do you take down your christmas tree and cardinal dolan a good friend of our show wrote an excellent op-ed which i felt like he was channeling me. here's what he says. warning to catholics, i willing driving around the archdiocese today. if i see one catholic home with a christmas tree taken down already outside near the trash can, i am come in. and i'm going to curse your new year. the catholics celebrate christmas until the epiphany, the sunday after new year. so, joey was asking me what's the epiphany? >> joe: i was like is cursing a thing? is that really going to happen? >> rachel: first of all dolan is will joking. epiphany, for democrats it's the

6th of january. three wise men coming to give the gift to the baby jesus. in our home it's like another christmas celebration. our kids put out their shoes filled with sugar for the camels and they each receive three gifts just like the baby jesus. so it's a thing. and so i'm also just like cardinal dolan, we keep it going. the music is going. we never take our tree down. >> griff: you play christmas music as well. >> rachel: of course christmas music goes all the way to the 6th of january. >> griff: our producer tammy is not okay with it. we have had internal debate. >> rachel: let's keep the debate going. because, definitely it should go. >> griff: i do like the fact we can frighten our non-catholic joey cursing since he doesn't understand that gee. >> joe: i'm already in trouble now. >> griff: here in new york i was watching on the local news the city of new york is not on board with cardinal dolan they already have stations with trucks where

can you bring your tree as of yesterday already out to be mulched for mulching purposes to serve. >> rachel: it's a secular city. cardinal dolan is a minority in this entire. >> joe: you found a little avenue for me to jump in and know what i'm talking about for a minute. i'm going to use it jump right in there and kick the door open. christmas trees and you have a real christmas tree and you are not watering it. and it's dried out. get that thing out. replace it if you want to keep another christmas tree up for a week. dry christmas trees are such a fire hazard. both of my brothers have been firemen. number one hazard that they worry about. so much they collect christmas trees this time of year and that's what they use to start of the training fires. they are that flammable. >> griff: recycled christmas trees. >> joe: christmas trees dried out so flammable use them to start. videos christmas tree catches on five in five minutes the whole

house is on fire. >> rachel: water the tree. keep it safe. jiff. >> griff: as a catholic that did go to saint catholic's cathedral on christmas eve avoid getting cursed. >> rachel: never going to curse you, griff. i love christmas. it keeps going. i think that cardinal dolan did a great op-ed and mentioned all the other days that. >> griff: let us know do you take your tree down on keeping it up? >> rachel: that's right. >> joe: latest twitter file dump reveals the white house encouraged the social media giant to suppress covid content. even if it was from medical professionals. dr. siegel is here to react and i get he has got something to say. i started cosentyx®. cosentyx can help you move, look, and feel better... by treating the multiple symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. before starting...get checked for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections some serious...

griff griff the latest twitter files dhump s. a parentally the 10th if we are counting reveals efforts from both the biden and trump white houses to suppress ideas on social media related to covid-19. according to independent journalist david zweig, quote, twitter did express views many from doctors and scientific experts that conflicted with the positions at the white house. mislabeled information from the accounts of doctors and others were suspended. here to react is fox news medical twitter and dr. marc siegel. what do you make? what is your reaction to quite

lengthy that they sought to have content moderation? >> very disturbing. censorship essentially coming from the government, griff is on the road to totalitarianism isn't it on either side. anyone in power trying to suppress opinions and science is based on the diversity of opinions, especially that's why the use emergency authorization was because it was new. i said at the very beginning of the pandemic i was concerned about lockdowns because i had researched that for prior books on prior lockdowns going all the way back to the middle ages where there were problems with them because people rebel. people were fearful and they didn't necessarily contain the pathogen and this virus, we soon

found out, walls way more contagious than we thought so lockdowns were a poor strategy yet there was an attempt made to call that misinformation and disinformation. by the way, once you started with the term misinformation, the term mandate soon followed, right? because if only your way is right, you have to impose it. you have to super impose it. and they were super imposing it, the government was, on things that are questionable. now, you probably know that i believe in this vaccine but i will tell you something else about it though. it's not the kind of vaccine that prevents spread consistently. it is not surprising that that soon went off the table and it became more targeted towards severity. and if you are not preventing spread with the vaccine how can you mandate its use? that was a problem and, again, anyone who said that was marginalized on twitter or attacked on twit which is supposed to be a public forum. >> griff: dr. siegel, what we found in this dump that spans both administrations because you talk about misinformation it's

important to point out what david zweig found in the trump administration they were meeting with twitter executives we are worried about misinformation where this tweet where we saw people falsely saying there was a run on grocery stores. they didn't want the panic to happen. then when the biden administration came in, they were focusing more on anti-vaxxers. dr. saying this we will have to take action on fcc professor for violating our misinformation policy specifically by sharing false information regarding the efficacy of the covid-19 vaccines which goes against cdc guidelines so just one example, dr. siegel, but how much do you believe this may have saying this may have impacted the outcome of where we are today? >> two points on this, griff. first of all, i don't think you

can -- on the trump administration, i don't think you can control panic by controlling information. i don't agree with that but to be fair i found that information to be open to ideas even when i interviewed president trump you are the first to point out collateral damage from the lockdowns. i don't agree on controlling information to suppress panic. you cause panic by doing that second, on dr. call doppler i don't actually agree with his statements on how he feels the vaccine works but do you know what i do believe in? his right to say so his right to say so and anywhere else he wants. that's the debate i'm talking about. it's got to be open. i get to say my views. he get to say his views. very disturbing that anyone would target him and try to marginalize him or cancel him out. >> griff: such a great point. dr. marc siegel, let's see what comes in the new year. we know hearings will be coming. perhaps this will be part of that dr. marc siegel, thank you

very much. have a good tuesday. >> thank you very much. good to be with you as always. >> griff: clock is ticking, title 42 could end today allowing an estimated 420 420,00 immigrants to enter every month. it two are sounding the alarm and they will join us next type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it.

ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. and you may lose weight. adults lost up to 14 pounds. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. join the millions already taking ozempic®. ask your health care provider about the ozempic® tri-zone.

when people come, they say they've tried lots of diets, nothing's worked or they've lost the same 10, 20, 50 pounds over and over again. they need a real solution. i've always fought with 5-10 pounds all the time. eating all these different things and nothing's ever working. i've done the diets, all the diets. before golo, i was barely eating but the weight wasn't going anywhere. the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is managing insulin and glucose. golo takes a systematic approach to eating that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom. when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't.

the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you. >> rachel: more than 16,000 migrants encountered at our southern border over christmas weekend. those numbers will likely get much worse if title 42 is lifted today. our next guests live in border towns and say they see migrant crossings every single day. two former members of the border patrol and current members of texas join us now. mark garcia and rosa. i will start with you, mark. just in del rio where you are at, we know it's about 4,000 people who cross just over christmas day over the last couple days.

so, what impact do you know as a former border patrol agent and a resident do you think will happen in your town? what's the impact for you guys? >> well, i'm actually in eagle pass now. and as a retired border patrol agent, all my 19 years i spent here in eagle pass i never went to another duty station. i have never seen the numbers this bad before. the impact is tremendous. it's drained all of the resources that our community has not only law enforcement resources but church resources as well as the county. the county is already bankrupt so is the city as far as we know. we just can't sustain this it's not going to happen. >> rachel: you talk about the medical and health. it's not just strained it's drained. i understand from the notes you gave our producers earlier that illegal migrants are taking priority at hospitals and clinics over u.s. citizens.

>> yes. exactly right. as a matter of fact, it happened to my in-law's. my mother had to got emergency room and she was there for extended period of time before she was able to be seen. and she was able to witness how there were groups of illegal folks being brought in to get checked for medical purposes. and she is the type of person that hey, she don't carry [inaudible] you should get it but her concern was that a lot of these folks that were coming in with the border patrol agents they didn't look really bad compared to those folks that were there, the u.s. citizens that were legal residents who live here waiting to seek medical attention. she noticed they were being given priority she didn't think that was fair at all. >> rachel: of course not. >> she is the type of person that believes everybody treated legally but she saw the discrepancy. speaking to similar situations they have gone through similar

situations. illegals are getting priority or legal citizens. >> rachel: friends in border towns tell me they are traveling 100 miles away to take their children to the hospital because they are being overwhelmed and they are confirming what you are saying illegals are getting priority over legal citizens at the clinic. we have some numbers here i want to show you mark and rosa. 14,000. if title 42 is lifted. the estimate is 14,000 per day. 420,000 per month over 5 mil it. he is. >> nice. >> as you are bracing, you and your neighbors are bracing for this onslaught, if you had a phone call to him as he sits on the sand and enjoys the margarita, what would you say to him about what's going on in eagle pass and how you and your neighbors are dealing with this? what do you want him to do? >> the first thing i would tell

him is governor abbott had a great idea whenever he started setting up secondary checkpoints. and checking all the commerce coming in. they did 100 percent check and in three days i think the economy of mexico lost somewhere in the vicinity of just shy of a billion dollars. so, i would say take governor abbott's lead. let's do 100 percent checks at all points of entry. i know that sounds like something that can't be done but it can be done. as soon as mexico starts feeling the pain in their economy, then they will see -- they will come to the table. >> rachel: rosa, really quick, what would you tell president biden in the caribbean about what's going on in your community? >> >> president biden chocolate chip ice cream photo op. ain't going to work with us here at the border. looks like something he is planning to do again. he needs to answer the question here down here at the border. what is his plan of action?
