there are no credible threats at this time. >> detectives and fellow cops face great danger every day and new year's eve is no different. fighting violence across the city. including the officers assaulted tonight are recovering. let's head down south to alabama. a mass shooting took place last night just a few blocks from a popular new year's eve event. one person killed with 45 minutes left in 2022. no arrests have been made just yet. >> thank you very much. to the new york incident, that is literally right down the street. it continues the pattern of no place is safe in the city. literally the guys first day on the job. we talk about how tough it is to

recruit cops this day and age. who will sign up for this if on day one you get hit with the machete. >> it is one of the safest days in new york because you have a flood of law enforcement that come in. counter terrorism, fbi, u.s. marshals, the city is on walk. the criminal still felt like he could go out there and/people. >> he reportedly is 19 years old he is from maine. jihadist writings. the mayor says no credible threats to new yorkers at this time. after they were hit in the head with a machete, they were able to still continue to do their jobs and secure the scene. >> a cop came in from staten

making it a lot harder. a lot more difficult to accomplish the goals. >> a few key things that matter. the highest inflation in 40 years. just to work through these. these inflationary pressures to the point of number one there. exacerbate the recession. that we currently have. we are in a nice little warm spell care. when title 42 ultimately goes away, we know that it will happen at some point. they just kick the can down the road. the situation at the border will get exponentially worse.

it will not go away just because the supreme court gave a reprieve. that will lead to more fentanyl coming across our border. if you have the number of people die each day -- yet nobody is talking about fentanyl except for us here. >> things are going to get better in the new year. judging by the tone of that the deal they think that things are going just fine. all the areas that you listed right there. when 70% of americans say we are headed down the wrong direction that they should not believe the pocketbooks, i just do not understand what message this is for the democrats going into this. everybody is preparing to run for president right now. >> using the holidays.

use this opportunity on the silent getaway to come up with an answer. you go all snippy. one step away from invoking corn pop. >> don't give us a deadline. when we should expect an answer from you. then when we asked the question you do that. it is just insensitive. mike huckabee was on with us earlier and he has some thoughts. >> he is not the only democrat that will run. he will not have a solo run at this. there will be other democrats. gavin newsom, probably some more moderate governors that will jump in. he will not have the stage to himself. he is already 80 years old. he will be 82 by the time the election rolls around. that is just unprecedented. this is not the senior bowl. this is really the toughest job in the world. he has already shown he may not

be quite up to it. carley: it will be interesting to see what plays out. gavin newsom says he will not run for president but actions speak louder than words. he did not even go to the border in california. texas, may be arizona. that video of him at the white house where he is taking his jacket off. then on the republican side, obviously, the former president said he will run again. but then what happens with governor desantis and people that may jump into the race. several people other than the former president it could split up the votes and then it could make it easier for donald trump to become the nominee so we could have another trump biden run in 2024. >> we will be covering it all again. carley: all again. >> the election is now next year carley: out with the old, and with the new. it may not be totally that way when it comes to the

presidential nominees. >> your saving grace as you will have a bundle of joy. >> that is the key. why do you think i had all these kids the last few years so i can be home. local. carley: i like going on those trips, though. you live on the road a lot. you do it well. a small city in arkansas declares a an emergency and puts a curfew in place due to a recent rampage and shootings. watch this. >> our city has been plagued with senseless acts of violence. should you be caught during curfew hours you will be subject to being stopped and searched. carley: oh facials near arkansas border says there's been more than 10 shootings in recent weeks. fewer than 3000 people live in the city. the end of year report shows no

updates into how the roe versus wade draft opinion was leaked to the public in the summer. enforcing the need for additional security after several justices of federal judges were targeted by violent attacks over the summer. we must support judges by ensuring their safety. a judicial system cannot and should not live in fear. he is right about that. the mega millions jackpot starting 2023 off with a bang. soaring to an estimated $785 million. this is after there were no lucky winners for the grand prize in friday's drawing. one winning ticket from ohio touched the $1 million prize. that is pretty good. numbers from friday. the next drawing will be on tuesday. one, three -- 51 and a mega millions ball i believe it is

called of seven. lawrence: i've got to get my tickets. carley: everybody does it. i do buy the tickets. >> if i win, i will pay for the kiddos college. >> if i win i will get you a burrito. it will be on me this time. you also have a lot of resolutions out there. you are sharing them with us. e-mail from tracy. give more time to what's important each and every year. that is awesome. willie and kansas. we have not been back to our church since covid. that changes this year. what a great e-mail. >> to watch fox and friends every morning. >> good for you, john.

mooney. good morning. great to talk to you. i know you know so much about popes. you've written books about them in the past. what are your reflections? >> we are sad, but you have to remember when the pope does it means he will meet his maker. carley: joyous. >> yes. you have to try to understand the depth of his intellect. either chance to interview him about 20 years ago when he was still a cardinal. in that interview he spoke mildly and lovingly terms about people, about the people he wanted to take care of and about their relationship with god. it was a stunning stunning performance. all we were doing was sitting at his residence talking. carley: what was he like during that interview? >> conservative and very strict.

he wrote so many pcs about behavior et cetera. in person he was a very gentle man. he smiled a lot. he had cats that live with him. they kept running through the room between us. at one point he asked if i liked music. he got up and walked over to his piano and started playing mozart. carley: he played for you? that is amazing. a lot of people talk about how interesting, may be unique is a better word, situation it will be for the current pope to be presiding over the funeral of the past pope. you have any thoughts on that? pope francis of pope benedict got along very well. they were friends despite the fact that a different perspective on the catholic religion. >> on a personal level they were very fond of each other. they joked about soccer. yes, you are correct, benedict certainly had different views on

the world and theology than does pope francis. when the time came in 2013, he announced that his physical and mental abilities were no longer up to the task of being pope and therefore he was going to resign. it makes me wonder if there are many other world leaders that may want to take a cue from that. carley: i hear you there. i think that's a very good segue into what we will talk about now. vladimir putin and xi jinping held a virtual meeting on friday i had at the in person visit to moscow in the new year. xi jinping said this. regarding relations with russia. this is on friday. this is xi jinping quote. in the face of the difficult and far from unambiguous international decision we are ready to build up strategic cooperation with russia, provide each other with development opportunities and be global partners for the benefit of the

peoples of our countries and in the interest of stability throughout this world. these two countries have grown much closer together in recent years. really since president biden became the president of the united states. how concerned should we all be about this? >> we just saw some great football last night. xi jinping and vladimir putin remind me of two guys on a team that was a big favor to win. they are in the huddle and they are looking at each other saying what went wrong? it's your fault. no, it's your fault. vladimir putin is trying to figure out how to save his reputation and life. xi jinping has been greeted finally with protests from his own people. it is not happened before. he really does not know how to react to it. he has taken back some of his covert rules. he said production will start back up again. then nothing happens. carley: the world leaders at some of their weakest points

right now. some of their leadership positions. they are trying to find strength within each other. >> behind the walls there is nothing. carley: very important how the united states response to this. we will have to respond at some point. not a matter of if, but when china invades taiwan. it looks like it could be. always a pleasure. >> police believe the man in custody for the murder for idaho college students is the sole suspect. investigators continued their search for a weapon. ♪

>> we truly believe we have the

individual that committed these crimes. our investigation may gather more information. we are still putting this picture together. it does not stop just because we make an arrest. actually, it begins. todd: they believe he acted alone as they still search for the murder weapon. the 28-year-old phd student will appear in pennsylvania court on tuesday where his attorney said he will waive extradition. we are joined by a crime scene expert now. we know this crime scene will be very critical to the investigation. the investigators planned on releasing that crime scene. then there was a court order that said they had to halt that release of the crime scene. what do you expect to come from that evidence as we know key is a criminal justice major, he knows how crime scenes work.

they also said he was messy and made some mistakes. what do you think they captured from that crime scene? >> i think incident important they stop the cleanup effort. you want the defense to have an option to go in to do their own testing in their own work. we gnocchi made mistakes. if they got his dna, we know they cross check that with familiar dna so they know it was him. and then they found the car they were looking for was also the same car that was registered to him. what they will do at this point is where this dna was founded kenny explained why it was found where they retreated from. for example, was it on the bedspread, was it on the victim's clothing, not just doorknobs. a windowsill or the sliding glass door. it will be imperative to this investigation. >> this person is innocent until

proven guilty. talk about the preservation of that crime scene. being the expert that he is in our criminal justice system, i can see him going back and forth saying that the crime scene was perhaps contaminated. >> let's be real clear. yes, he has studied and yes he has a level of expertise that most people don't, but you cannot learn from a textbook how to actually commit a murder in action. you can read all you want to about bundy or gacy or delmer, but when you walk into a home in the dark and start to stab someone, you don't get that from a textbook. did he make mistakes? there is no question about it. lawrence: i think you just hit the nail on the head right there. he was so arrogant. the chat room post, his research posted online.

this is a guy that thought he could get away with it because he had studied how crimes are committed. >> he thinks he is the smartest person in the room. that actually turned out to be something that hurt what he was trying to do. look at this. studying ted bundy. he went further and made cachet's of weapons with tarps and shovels and firearms. he thought he could go into other states didn't commit these murders from seattle to alaska. the mistake he made was by using the victim's atm card where he is now on video. again, these mistakes will be made. if you did not wear a glove, if you did not anticipate that the knife would get slippery when the blood saturated it. you have to hold them with your nondominant hand. that knife could slip. you could stab your own self and your nondominant hand during your dominant hand if you come off the knife completely.

if he was not wearing gloves. he used his own car. those are mistakes that come unto me, are very juvenile. >> they just needed a little bit of time. thank you for your expertise. >> absolutely. thank you so much. happy new year. >> a new year means a new congress. republicans laying out their agenda for the american people. who will lead them? incoming congressmen mike lawler shares his picnics. anna coleman is back in the states. she joins us in this new year. ♪

the conference supports kevin mccarthy for speaker. when we had our conference elections back in november he received 85% of the vote. i come along with the vast majority of my colleagues, will be voting for kevin whether it is one ballad or 100 ballots. i think for my colleagues that have been holding out so far, kevin has been negotiating in good faith to address their concerns on the rules. the rest of us are open to those rule changes so long as they in good faith support kevin. ultimately, cooler heads will prevail. i do think he will have the requisite number of votes to become speaker. we will see what happens on tuesday. todd: the american people elected republicans to be in charge of the house because they want change. they are not happy with the way the country is going. your soon-to-be colleague put out the following five priorities. irs funding meaning undoing the

democrats to vote for you in order to win your race in a heavy heavy blue state like new york. can we republicans convince democrats to come across the aisle to put forward legislation that helps all americans? >> there is no question. i won in a district with 70,000 more democrats. we defeated the chair of the d triple c. i did it by talking about the issues that matter to people regardless of their political party. affordability and public safety. if we put forward the agenda that we ran on and one on, the democrats will be stuck between a rock and a hard place. i think the senate in the white house will have to come to the table. that is my focus. i want to get to work on the issues we ran on, that we want on and that the american people expect us to govern on. >> it all begins on tuesday.
