please become a st. jude partner in hope right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ hey, glory, glory, hallelujah ♪ carley: good morning, everybody. how me to welcome to the your -- year of our lord, 2023. we hope you had a wonderful new year's eve celebration, and this is the very first day of the new year. lawrence: i'm so happy to be with you guys this morning, hangover and all. but we're here.

carley: we had a session isment specifically designed for you in the 6:00 hour, hangover remedies. and if you were up at 6 a.m. and and you did some partying night before, i'm sure that was the most useful segment that we've had over the last three hours. lawrence: this is true. and if you thought things were going wrong for you this new year's already, well, just watch todd. [laughter] this is -- watch it. let's just -- [laughter] todd: all right, so here's the deal -- lawrence: this is todd cutting into a cake. todd: a couple things. first of all, hay put it on a golf tee. there's no way i can handle the balance. okay? second, i told everybody i was cutting carbs this year. i didn't realize i would have so much trouble actually cutting the carbs -- carley: clever. todd: i still got it, america, still got it. carley:you weren't watching when that moment happened, we were cutting into a cake that brings

you luck if you're in greece. i can't remember the name of th- todd: not if you're italian. carley: it brings you luck and then -- apparently not for todd. there's supposed to be a coin in it. we never found the coin. todd: yeah, i didn't find the coin. again, look at the base. it's too tiny. i need a larger base. carley: i hear you, i understand. todd: i'm all about that bass. carley: you and megyn trainer. if it was a wonderful -- megan treynor. a lot of your fox favorites including rachel, will and pete, of course, we are filling in for them so they can get some much-needed and well-earned rest. if you missed it last night, here is a compilation of that celebration. watch. pete: how we feeling tonight? [cheers and applause] i love it. we are -- i am not running for president in 2024. i see that sign, thank you, sir. >> i want to spend the rests are

of my life with you, i love you. so, yulia -- [cheers and applause] >> omg. yes! [laughter] [cheers and applause] finish. will: we have got lawrence jone- lawrence: what's up, guys? pete: you're partying in the new year and then you can roll into "fox & friends," no problem. lawrence: you know what, you know what? i am young, but somebody decided to call out tomorrow in doing their show -- >> don't wear it in the water. don't wear it in the water, it will weigh you down. oh, my gosh. [laughter] >> there's your dancing weatherman, ladies and gentlemen. your dancing polar bear. pete: am i wearing this hat right? i mean, is this looking okay? >> yeah, it's all right. it looks good. just get your ass on that bull. >> let's go, leg september.

let's go, mr. big. come on, rodeo will cain -- rachel: we got you. pretty impressive. >> turn it up to 7, there it ises. >> jimmy failla's been talking a lot of trash all night. jimmy hates the cowboy, so he's going to buck him right off. pete: good form, good form. will: we were, like, who can we call? who can we wake up? pete: what have we got? >> what the heck is going on with you people? [laughter] what the heck is going on? >> 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. happy new year! [cheers and applause] carley: whoo. and a good time was had by all. lawrence: that's an all-american celebration. carley: it is. we had an engagement, we had some bull riding -- todd: we had karl rove.

carley: karl rove got a prank call, i guess you could say -- lawrence: at 11:00 at night. carley: he's a classy guy. lawrence: it was a wonderful night. you know where it's not wonderful, our southern border. there have been over 4 million border encounters since vp harris was assigned to address the root cause of the problem in late march 2021. this is a problem that they said that they were going to tackle, they were going to talk with these nation-building countries and tackle the issue. here's a montage of what the vice president has said she was going to do. watch. >> we will enforce the law and that we also, because we can i chew gum and walk at the same time, let's address the root causes that cause people to make the trek -- to address what i call not only the root causes, but the acute causes of the migration. the president and i also discussed the root causes of

migration. the root causes of migration. the root causes of migration. the root causes of migration. carley: yeah. you know what? even when she was given this job in march of 2021, i believe, it was paying lip service to this whole situation. talk to the ranchers along the southern border, the american citizens, on how interested they are in learning about the root causes of illegal immigration when their ranches and their property is getting completely destroyed by this foot traffic which means that their livelihood and the amount of money that they're making is going down because of all of this foot traffic and crime that's taking place. so this was sort of the biden administration's way of saying we're handling it without really handling it. and now, who years later, even though she said that she was going to address the root causes, she hasn't even done that 4 million people later. todd: yeah. let's accept her premise for the

moment that the only thing she's going to be able to tackle is the root causes, everything else is something that can't be tackled. okay. to your point, what have you done on the root causes? that's what's freaking out all of us, is that if you can't handle the thing that you said you could handle, the only participant of this you could handle -- part of it, what is happening to the rest of it? our country is in major problems because of it. look, if the worst case scenario happens in 2023, 6 million migrants will make their way into our country. how in god's name can our infrastructure handle that? lawrence lawrence well, the reality of it is, the root cause i now is the biden administration. they have become a huge magnet. when you have people crossing the border with biden t-shirts, okay, when the vice president says don't come and the people at the border said that we thank joe biden, we thank the vice president, we thank the administration for being so welcoming. they're just not welcoming to go

through the legal channels. derek moss, who has been out front on this, he interviews these families to try to get them the help they need. he had some thoughts on this, watch. >> the white house can't even describe her role. she has a record of failed accomplishments at the border. if you look at just in fiscal year 2020, 458,000 ap rehexes. apprehensions. fiscal year 2032, 2.378 million, 4 20% increase. we have a fentanyl emergency in america, we have humanitarian crisis, we have dead migrants all over the border. these poor people in the journey and how dangerous it's been with the sex trafficking and the abuse of these children and the stash houses on the border, it's unbelievable. everyone in america is impacted from the lack of security at the border. so she's failed miserably, and she needs to be held accountable.

lawrence: all eyes are going to be on congress this new, coming session. they have said that they want alejandro mayorkas to come and testify on capitol hill. they have asked him to resign, if he doesn't resign, they will start impeachment proceedings. i don't know if it's going to help the problem. carley: yeah. it's just stunning to me that you have the number one killer of young people in america identified as drug overdoses, many of them are fentanyl poisonings. and the current administration has been completely silent about it, and there the needs to be so much more attention on this. more people, celebrities, other people half a big platform and a loud voice need to start the speak out about this, because it's killing our young people coming from china, coming from mexico. and nothing is being done about it. todd: you mentioned the key word, china. so many of these bigtime celebrities, their financial world is so tied to china

because that's where funding for so many movies, music, sports comes from. carley: so true. todd: they're loathe to call out china because they know it will impact their bottom line. but only like an enos canter, for example, is willing to put his money where his mouth is. and he lost everything. lawrence: the people that support the legal crossings don't understand this is all part of one criminal enterprise. if you support the people coming across the border illegally by these sluglers and cartels, then you also support the drugs and human asking. it is one system, it is one group, it is one criminal enterprise, and you can't separate one from another. carley: there is also this, we have seen what has happened to liberal cities across the country that have the really lenient bail laws. crime has gone up. and a few months ago illinois, unbelievably, voted to completely get rid of their cash bail system. they completely eliminated it.

and we are talking about not just minor infractions, we're talking about some of the most serious offenses. this is called the safety the act. governor j.b. pritzker signed it into law, and it would mean no bail for things like second-degree murder, kidnapping, armed robbery, drug-induced homicide, aggravated dui. the list goes on and on. now, almost everyone in the state, it turned out, was against this except for cook county, and there's so many votes there, that includes chicago. but thank friday, and this is -- thankfully, and this is the update, the state supreme court halted this law from going into effect. it was set to go into effect today, and now the state supreme court says not gonna happen. todd: what's important about that, two things. one, a lower court said this law was unconstitutional. what this supreme court said, it would unfairly take discretion on bail out of the hands of judges. and, yes, you may not agree with

everything that our judicial system does, but at the end of the day there is ostensibly a reasonable person behind that robe making reasonable decisions. and nobody would look at what we are seeing on our screen, specifically the violent crimes, and say that person who has a history of doing this once a month should be let back out on the street to do it again. that is why you can't just operate out of a book, out of a statute on this. you need to give judges discretion, and that's why this move by the illinois supreme court which, lawrence, you rightly pointed out is not a conservative court, it is a very liberal court, gives me some hope that maybe even some on the left are realizing we are not only losing our cities, but we are losing our country if we don't give these judges some discretion to keep bad guys from committing more bad acts. lauren:s they have now -- lawrence: they have created a criminal justice system that a does the not advocate for the

people and the victims, and it only benefits the criminal. how can you look at chicago -- these are the stats. theft is up 56%, robbery up 14%. burglary is up 14%. you see us every week when we bring you the numbers of the people that are murdered on the south side -- carley: and chicago lawmakers voted for this. lawrence: and they voted for this! the governor's office didn't veto it. the state senate voted for it, the representatives vote voted for it. no one stopped this but the supreme court. this is what they're dealing with. they doubled down on the lawlessness that's happening not just in chicago, by the way, but all of illinois. you brought up an excellent point earlier, carley. they lead the nation in ankle monitors, right? they believe when someone commits murder or assault or raped a woman, god forbid, they just put them out on the monitor. the monitor is not even monitored by the state, it's a private company. we know that there has been issues with those monitors. people have had them on for 2

the-3 -- off for 2 the-3 days and haven't been 3eubged -- picked up. carley: and under safety the act, as it's called, what would happen is if a criminal took their ankle monitor off for 48 hours, you couldn't -- a police officer couldn't intervene or whatever company was monitoring that ankle monitor couldn't intervene. it gives them 48 hours without the ankle monitor on before you can try and track, so that person could be anywhere. pastor corey books, you have seen him many times in the freezing cold out on the roof in chicago because he is raising money to help young people in chicago not follow life of crime. he is so well spoken and so involved in keeping chicago as safe as possible, and he is speaking out on the safety act. he says criminals need to be held accountable. watch this. >> i believe in reconciliation. i know that there's a lot of recidivism and that people need help and assistance to get back on track. i believe that with all of my

heart. but i also believe in accountability, and i know that when they talk about equity and these criminals getting equity, they're not taking into consideration the victims. every single day we work at project hood with victims, with families who have been impacted by violent crimes and having struggling times getting back on track. and i wish they would put more emphasis on the victims of these crimes and on fixing our neighborhoods than giving these criminals more power. we need to move away from race but see them for what they are, and that's being criminals. and these hardened criminals need to do the time, they need to be accountable. we're not talking about petty crimes here. we're not talking about that type of situation. we're talking about hardened criminals. carley: solving crime isn't rocket signs, not brain surgery. go back and look at what worked when new york city was the safest big city in the country. stop and san francisco ifing, broken windows -- frisk, broken

windows policing. if you think that doesn't sound compassionate, hen talk to the woman who got mugged or raped or a family member who got murdered by somebody who has been in and out of prison 25 times. talk to that person about what compassionate really is. lawrence: or how about once you arrest somebody who has murdered somebody, keep them e be hide bars. catholics all around the world remembering the life and legacy of pope emeritus benedict xvi who passed away yesterday. carley: the vatican beginning preparations for his funeral at st. peter's square next week. todd: lawrence green -- lauren green live outside vatican city. >> reporter: there's a lot of activity around here, preparations being made for the viewing and funeral of pope benedict vxi. and it really is unprecedented. there's never been a former pope in the modern era, so there's no

protocol for this. for example, journalists are asking about is there a guest list of people who may be attending. and we're also learning more about the last moments of benedict's life. benedict, the emeritus pope, died yesterday morning in his first floor apartment at the monastery in the vatican gardens. a source close to the vatican said men convict's last words were -- benedict's last words were said? german, jesus is, i love you. his hedge -- his personal secretary called pope pope francis to alert him. timothy cardinal dolan, archbishop of new york. >> yes, we mourn his death. we'll miss him very much. we are sad. but we also praisal might i god -- praise almighty god for

the gift he was his 96 years. >> reporter: and president biden, a catholic, tweeted of benedict: he'll be remembered as a renowned theologian with a lifetime of devotion to the church guided by his principles and faith. may he continue to be an inspiration to all. benedict will -- [audio difficulty] todd: all right. it does appear that we may have if lost lauren green, but obviously this is a no mentous day not just in america, but of course around the world. we will be monitoring the events coming out of vatican city, rome, and italy. overnight three nypd officers were stabbed near times square including a rookie literally working his first shift. the attack happening two hours before the ball dropped. the suspect swinging a machete at a group of officers. here's what mayor eric adams had to say about it. >> these officers responded in an admirable, professional manner, and all officers involved -- and i must say that

even after the incident took place, the responding officers made sure the scene was under control. todd: police have since identified the suspect and are looking into his social media posts to determine if this attack was terrorism. outrage at one of the nation's top-ranked high schools after it reportedly withheld awards because it didn't want to hurt other students' feelings. fairfax county, virginia, parents say their thomas jefferson high school students missed out on scholarship opportunities and are calling for the principal to be fired. virginia's lieutenant governor demanding an investigation tweeting, quote: our children's education is not a zero sum game. we cannot punish success in order to have to, quote, equal outcomes at all costs. check the out, an amazing viral video out of florida shows a teacher taking on her students in a dance battle to missy elliot's hit, with the work it -- "work it." they joined us earlier to tell us how it all went down. >> i think the students kind of

called me out, you know, and i'm never one to back down from a challenge. enter she's the best teacher i ever battled. >> well, missy elliot even replied to the viral video on twitter giving it 4 -- not 1, not 2 the, not 3, but 4 -- fire emojis. we interviewed those guys earlier, they were awesome, and those are your headlines. carley: they deserved every one of those emojis, absolutely. coming up, new year, new congress, but who will be the next house speaker? congressman matt rosendale is one of the five house republicans who could stand in the way of kevin mccarthy taking the gavel. he joins us next. ♪ gonna go to the place that's the best ♪

lawrence: so 2023 kicking off with the republicans set to take the house majority and a heated battle for kevin mccarthy to become the house speaker. the california republican floated a rule change to make it easier to remove a house speaker in exchange for support from five members of his own party including our next guest who has said he won't vote for mccarthy. montana gop congressman matt rosendale joins us now. congressman, thank you so much for joining the program.

i took a look at your web site, you stand up for border security, fiscal responsibility and the second amendment. you have said that you won't vote for mccarthy. will you change your vote now that this rule change that he's suggesting right now, sirsome. >> first, happy new year, lawrence. it's great to be with you. lawrence: you too, brother. [audio difficulty] lawrence: and looks -- >> -- what we're going to be able to accomplish, but it has to be done with proper leadership and proper rules in place. we gave kevin mccarthy opportunities over the last two years to demonstrate leadership skills whether it was the c.r., the ndaa, the so-called infrastructure bill, we put him in a position where he could have negotiated some common sense reforms, and he failed on every measure. we presented him, many of us did, with rule amendments that we wanted to try and implement months ago, and he refused to speak with us -- lawrence lawrence representative, i'm

sorry, i've got limited time with you, but you said you presented him all of these different proposals, but you only have another alternative which is hakeem jeffries -- >> no, that's just -- lawrence: i'm sorry, congressman. judging by the issues that you lives on your campaign web site, do you believe hakim jeffries would be able to support that agenda? >> lawrence, you're pushing a false premise. first of all, hakeem jeffries is never going to be speaker of the house. which six republicans are going to vote for him, okay? it's just not going to happen. you're falling into a big trap -- lawrence: then who are you voting for, sir? >> there are many other highly qualified individuals that are starting to have conversations with many of us about being able to seek the speaker's position now that they see -- lawrence: they don't have the votes though, sir. you guys had a conference vote, and he got an overwhelming majority of your colleagues -- >> kevin doesn't have 218 votes,

lawrence. he didn't have 20210 votes. -- 210 votes. he didn't have 190 votes. kevin doesn't have the votes. while you in the media continue to focus on the 5 of us that have been public about our positions, there are many more. there's another 7 people that a put out a letter saying they weren't going to support kevin. there was another freshman who came out -- lawrence: with all due respect are, sir, i'm not focusing on the rest of the media, i'm focused on what you listed to your voters that you wanted to accomplish. and right now there's only one name that is on that ballot right now that could accomplish that. your caucus selected a candidate, and it seems like you 5 are the only ones holding up the agenda of the republican party. >> that's just a false premise. lawrence: do you feel like you're doing a disservice to your voters right now, sir? >> no, i do not. that's a false premise that you continue to try and support, lawrence. there's more than 5 people, and you can see that as we go into

the election on january the 3rd. there was 36 people that voted against kevin mccarthy on the conference vote. there was another 50, over 50 that actually voted against earmarks while he sat silently and would not oppose hem. lawrence lawrence yeah. well, sir, we can only go with the names that have put their name on the record. the other ones have said that they will vote for the peeker -- speaker. good luck to you, sir. >> thank you very much for having me on, lawrence. lawrence: you got it. coming 7:, plus have a suspect but are still searching for the weapon in the murder of four university of idaho students. former detective ted williams joins us next from idaho.

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. i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the street, talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? i think so. how do you know? you're driving a car? you have the check engine light, but the heart doesn't have a hey, check heart sign. i want to show you something.

>> we truly believe we have the individual who committed these crimes. we're going to continue to look for a fixed-blade knife.

our investigation may gather more information. we're still putting this picture together dis, you know, it doesn't stop just because we make an arrest. actually, it begins. consider consider police -- carley: police believe the suspect charged with murdering four idaho students acted alone as they search for the weapon. he will appear in a pennsylvania court on tuesday where his attorney says he will waive extradition. fox news contributor and former homicide detective ted williams is on the ground in moscow, idaho, and joins us now. ted, good morning to you. on waiving of his extradition rights front, what does that tell you about his mentality or the advice that he's getting? how are you reading that? >> well, you know, good morning and happy new year to you. it is my understanding that he has a group of attorneys here on the ground in moscow, idaho. so this is probably a part of

their strategy. they'll waive extradition, they'll bring him back here. i would believe as early as tuesday or wednesday. and they will then start moving this case along. it is my understanding that the group of attorneys hard going to be representing -- that are going to be representing this guy have went in the court and got a court order to keep the crime scene over my shoulder in place. carley: very interesting, because i'm sure they're going to want to go in there and do some investigation or digging of their own? >> absolutely. listen, there is not a case that is complete, and case clear -- this case clearly is not complete. they don't have the murder weapon, they are still looking for the murder weapon. the chief of police, chief fry, has called out to the community to continue to try to help them

to put hair evidence together to prosecute this guy. carley: have you heard from any of the people who knew suspect? the there have been a lot of reports, a lot of news outlets including fox news have reached out to some of his former classmates, and they all say that he was socially awkward and tried to be the smartest person in the room. i mean, when you think about the qualities, the characteristics that everybody is ascribing, what does that tell you about the type of person he is, and does that surprise you at all? >> well, it doesn't surprise me about the type of person he is. he seemed to be quiet, he seemed to be a loner, he seemed to be somewhat of an outcast in society. from everything that i have been able to glean and investigate. so nothing surprises me about this guy. but case is going to be the

driven -- driven by the evidence. we have that white car that they impounded there in pennsylvania. they are doing a search of that car to try to match if it to this crime scene over my shoulder. carley: yeah. and, you know, ted, the police in moscow received a lot of criticism throughout this investigation. some people said that it was taking them too long. do you feel like that criticism was misplaced? >> well, at this stage i think -- i think that the criticism was clearly misplaced because law enforcement were working along two tracks; one, to try to find the killer of these four young people, and now they believe that they have that killer. now the other track they're working along is the prosecution track, and that is a successful prosecution. and so as a result of that, they are trying to put their case together from a prosecutorial standpoint and have a successful

prosecution of this guy. i would have to believe that the death penalty, perhaps, will be on the table in this case. carley: and, ted, steve goncalves, has spoken out. he said in the past that he does believe his daughter was the target, and and he also recently said his family has found some sort of connection -- he hasn't specified what it was -- but some sort of connection between kaylee and the suspect. what do you know about that? >> i've heard that also, and that has given me some pause. we mow that the moscow, idaho -- we know that the moscow, idaho, police department has said that there was a target. and so if, in fact, steve is correct, gives some context to what is going on in the prosecution. of this case. carley: ted, thank you so much for joining us live from moscow, idaho. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. carley: all right. coming up, ftx founder sam

and is now living at his parents' california home after being freed on $250 million bond. todd: fox business correspondent, she also has a new title in the new year, jackie deangelis joins us now. >> hey, guys, great to be with you this morning. so my reaction to this news, that sam bankman-fried is expected to plead not guilty, it's interesting. he'll be in court at 2 the p.m. in manhattan and, you know, it's a little defight, but i feel -- defiant, but i peel like you want to jump in here, todd. todd: my basic question is what's the next shoe to drop? obviously, we know what he's being accused of, what's going on behind the scenes with investigations, but what are you folks in the business world looking for when it comes to next step to happen? >> well, everybody wants to see what he's going to do because, you know, these trials are a gamble. we know that he's been charged with two counts of wire fraud and six conspiracy charges. he could face up to 115 years in

jail, so people are saying, you know, or it's not surprising that he might plead not guilty and see what happens when he goes to trial. you know what can happen when there's a jury in place. he knows what would happen if he doesn't. but the business community is looking at what's going to happen in the crypto space. how is going to present itself as an example. what are regulators going to do to fry to shore up this -- to try to shore up this area of the financial trading space to make sure it doesn't happen again. and the fact that this has been going on for roughly six weeks and regulators have been not so responsive, the department of justice the as well took its time before they filed charges. so people want to see, you know, that they really go after him. of course, his two associates, caroline ellison and gary wang, they did plead guilty, and so that doesn't bode well for sbf but, you know, we'll see. carley: yeah. the fact that they pled guilty, you're absolutely right. they're pleading guilty already, and they're cutting deals and leaving sbf on lonely island.

>> yeah. carley: you are filling in for maria, you're going to be hosting "sunday morning futures," so tell us what's coming up. >> that's right. i'm very excited to be with everybody this morning. we are talking to congressman darrell issa, we're going to be talking about what happens on tuesday in washington when the vote is set to elect a new speaker. are we we going to see this go through, or are we going to see multiple contests here? they can't get anything done until the speaker is elected. they can't even swear in new members. so we'll be talking about that. we'll be talking about the foreign policy, china, russia, iran. we're also talking to brian style about the -- brian stile about the city. we're going to talk about -- about the economy. 2023 could be a rough year, interest rates, the fed, inflation, all of these things that are kitchen table issues. we're also talking about the crisis at the southern border with texas congresswoman-elect monica de la cruz, and we're going to talk to her about the issues that her constituents

want to see her fight for in washington. really big stuff happening in 2023, guys, not a dull moment. we're going to get to all of that. todd: you're going to have a big year as well, congrats to you. looking forward to today's show -- >> january 23rd. >> we'll see you then. absolutely. carley: all right, let's turn to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth with our fox weather forecast. rick: good morning. all right. a a lot going on this week for almost everybody in the country. this active pattern returns. take a look at the weather map starting off in across parts of the south. dense fog advisory, anywhere you see that yellow, be very careful if you're heading out to church maybe, be careful on those roads because it is going to be hard to see in a lot of cases. we've got this storm that that a brought record-breaking rain yesterday across california, now across parts of the four corners. you're going to see a lot of snow across areas that really need it, so this is welcome news just for the reservoirs but also the ski resorts.

that same storm by tomorrow into wednesday moves out across parts of the northern plains and big snow there. on the southern side of that looking for severe weather tomorrow especially. right where you see this little hatched area, those dots potential wily the threat for some significant tornadoes, so be on the lookout for that tomorrow. tuesday moves a little farther towards the east. and then by tomorrow the rain and snow moves back across parts of the west, so this active pattern continues especially out across the west. we need it, it's good news, but it's the coming a little too quickly, so we have that flooding concern. all right, guys back to you. carley: thank you the, rick. lawrence: so to a fox news alert, the man suspected in the overnight machete attack of the three nypd officers was being watched by the counterterrorism task force. that information coming to fox news from a high level nypd source. the attack happened just two hours before midnight. the suspect swinging this machete at those officers. authorities say they received

information that the suspect was showing signs of home grown violent, extremist behavior. i mean, i'm sorry, how many times are we going to learn after the fact that they were watching the person, only watching them after they commit the attack. it's ridiculous. i look forward to hearing more information. carley: absolutely. this was a very dangerous situation, and it looks like this one, unfortunately, has legs, the worst kind you can imagine. if he had some sort of jihadist posting on social media, now the fbi say that he was known to them. he goes from maine to new york and swings a machete i at three police officers on new year's eve near times square. it could have been a much more horrific situation because, thankfully, these lee officers did survive that attack. todd: let's be real, he wasn't here to watch the ball drop, to ring in 2023. lawrence: perhaps if we dedicated more of our services in the fbi instead the of watching parents and watching

the terrorists -- todd: school board meetings, no. maybe on the streets of new york, yes. up next, we are kicking off the new year with some football. charissa thompson previews the big nfl matchups you don't want to miss on fox. that's next. ♪ better hang on tight -- ♪ i guarantee it's gonna be a hell of a ride ♪

todd: the love that music, and what better way to kick off the new year than with some football. here to preview the seven matches you can catch on fox today is nfl kickoff toast charissa thompson -- charissa thompson. heej day on the network. >> absolutely. the eagles looking to clinch that number one seed in the nfv and the much-coveted home field advantage, but don't sleep on the saints. they're the winners of two straight games and also have the number two pass defense, looking to slow down that arsenal that is a.j. brown and ta von today smith. jalen hurts is still working through that injury, i like the eagles by 6. todd: you says you need a winning record to win your division? we've got a lot of excitement and some games that, quite frankly, you may not have thought would be that big a couple weeks ago, carolina v.

tampa baying with -- being one of them. >> with a losing record, the bucs could win their division. if they win, they're in because the panthers still need some help even if they win today. and tom brady has lost three of the last five games, he would tell you himself he and this team haven't had the year they want, but with it doesn't matter. they are in a weak division can, so i like hem today to win by three and tom brady, again, will punch his ticket to the postseason. todd: and i'll be watching this game because this one has playoff implications for my boys, of course, talking about cleveland versus washington. >> i love that optimism in 2023 out of you, todd. [laughter] yeah, so the commanders and the browns, the browns have been -- [audio difficulty] looks like a shell of himself since coming back. carson wentz is going to get the start, for taylor heinicke, his first start since week six. the commanders are looking to

get back on track but, yeah, you're right, they're right in the thick of it like so many teams are. i like the commanders in this one by 3, and don't forget to download the fox super 6 app. the jackpot today, $100,000 of terry bradshaw's money. it's fun for everyone. tom. todd: and maybe it's the fact that i am a giants fan and we haven't been paying attention this late in the season for the last 10 year, but do you recall a season where this late in the year there are so many weird, different playoff scenarios? >> so many. no. and i mean, all you have to do is look at the starting quarterback position. there's been 62 different starters so far. we're in week 17 and who knows what the next week looks like. yeah, there's a lot of parity, which keeps it interesting here at fox. todd: looking forward to to do. huge day. happy new year to you and yours. with that, a little bit more breaking news. carley: yeah, we are learning

this morning the man suspected of the overnight machete attack of three nypd officers was being watched by the fbi counterterrorism task force. that information coming to fox news from a high-level police source. authorities identifying the suspect as 19-year-old trevor bickford from maine saying he's been watched by the fbi for weeks now. police sources say they received tips that the suspect was showing signs of home grown violent extremist behavior following a recent conversion to islam. they also say he spent his time researching the taliban and expressing interest in going to afghanistan, even saying he was willing to die for his religion. again, that all coming from a high-level n nypd police source. we'll see what else we learn about suspect in the coming days. todd: and, lawrence, before you raised the key issue. if all of this information is

known to law enforcement, why is there this disconnect, this allowing him to have time to actually go and commit the act? i understand you cannot act on every piece of surveillance information that you have. but when you have stuff that rises to this level, there has to be something in between not doing anything and storming his house. obviously, we have a situation where this guy was known to authorities, and last night he acted. lawrence: yeah. if i'm the nypd commissioner, i want to know the second counterterrorism department unit is the new york counterterrorism. were they properly briefed on this? were they given a heads up for the number one destination spot in the country last night, that he could potentially attack them? i have a lot of questions concerning -- and it would be different, carley, if this wasn't the first incident. we've seen multiple incidents where they say, well, they were

on our radar, but they didn't capture the person before they committed the act. carley: i don't know at what level he was on their radar and how does the fbi know when somebody is going to act. that is their job, they were watching him. i mean, 19 years old, his name is trevor bickford from if maine. it doesn't get more american-sounding hand that, so it makes sense that this conversion to islam was something that just happened, but now mayor adams has said there are no credible threats to new yorkers at this time, and he attacked these three police officers, one of them received a skull fracture, another one a major machete the cut to the head, if you can believe it. the -- this happened in times square last night during the busiest night in new york city. it could have been much worse, but these police were able to secure this scene, and they also shot him mt. shoulder, i believe. so he is likely in the hospital right now and in police custody. lawrence: i look bard to the

investigation and -- forward to the investigation and interrogation as well as seeing who he is linked to, who inspired him, are there more home grown terrors in this country that are in the these chat rooms with more to come? i would like to know that information. todd: with that, it has been a great four hours to kick off your 2023. thank you so much for joining us. go out there and make it a great day and a great year. carley: bye, everybody. ♪ ♪ jack: good sunday morning, everyone, and happy new year. welcome to "sunday morning futures." i'm jackie deangelis in for maria bartiromo. today as america enters 2023, dealing with numerous crises including red-hot inflation, chaos at the southern border and the i growing threat of china. president biden is welcoming in the new year in the caribbean, staying at the home of wealthy democratic doe or nors prix of charge -- donors. after the president return will bees to washington tomorrow, he will b
