issues at the southern border and he is facing impeachment inquiry and now a situation, a powder keg in the middle east with latest attack leaving one american critically injured after iran proxy attacked in iraq and the red line for republican and democrat, was a dead american, you take the belt on, it is go time. that is not a delicate situation you want hanging in the balance when you jet off to get rum in the caribbean. >> joey: what is happening in his own life, an attempt to run away, not sure. first one moved from georgia to

california, called herself not-for-profit voter. integrity is important to her. james comer thinks biden is lacking heavily in integrity and here is what he had to say about it. >> most americans realize something stinks here. most americans realize we have bank statements that show bidens received well over $20 million from enemies around the world and can't answer what did you do to receive the money. he never met with any people who sent his family money and there is a wall between the government and his family's shady business dealings. he communicated with people around the world. american people know this stinks here, that is a problem for joe

biden moving forward. his plszs are a disaster and the american people think he's a crook. >> carley: there will be more conversation to come with hunter biden and legal saga and maybe the president is resting up. what will that look like? almost four years ago now, the met was in the basement and now he's three years older. that objection create challenges. just before pardoning the turkeys, he said, i'm getting crushed in the polls, we have to have a plan of attack. so far, there has not been a solution and i don't know what the solution will come in the form of, the economy is one of

the biggest issues facing the country and immigration cries and you have mayorkas and blinken in mexico right now. they are working but the president is on vacation in saint croix. >> griff: you have blinken and mayorkas in mexico and you have mcdermott coming to the white house and president biden is on the beach. yeah, hear you, don't care, thanks, going to put my feet up and kick back. that shot was in delaware and this is hanging in the balance. >> joey: national defense,

border, economy, crime. crime is a big problem. there is an incident here to talk about. a christmas-day stabbing. this man said he wanted to kill all white people and stabbed two teens. two teenage girls, stabbed one so hard it punctured into her lung and the other into her thigh. he was just arrested for threatening to shoot people and got a deal for no jail time. i don't have the number, but in the teens. >> carley: he's been arrested 17 times. these teenage girls are sisters, enjoying breakfast with their parents. they are both from south america.

they were near grand central station, which is a safe area of new york city. you are a teen, with your parents on christmas day, what could go wrong? then this crazy guy comes up stabbing while screaming, i want to kill all white people. >> griff: why was he out and able to do that? we have a quote from the previous victim telling "new york post" this, they should not have let him out of jail, i don't believe it. he pulled a gun on me and said, i don't care what kind of green card you have. he told me the cops don't do blank and what he said was true, he was telling me, why are you working for white people, he

needs to be institutionalized. signs are there, he's was out and tragedy now. >> joey: i have a close friend dealing with being arrested for self-defense is trying to prove he was defending himself. he has a good lawyer and was released. this war hero may go to jail over something that did not happen, he is he said, she said, thankfully a tape came through and exonerate him on many charges. how are we living in a country that is this varied on how we handle common sense justice. you have a right to defend yourself, you might go to jail for it. you innocently show up in new york city for christmas and a man who stabbed two teen girls

has been let out 17 times. accountability is not ser c cystent. >> carley: key to the quote you read of the previous victim saying what he experienced with this guy. he said the cops don't do bleep. it is not the police he is talking about, cops will arrest them, but they get out. criminals are aware of what they can do and where they can steal things, you have a certain amount you can steal, it is a misdemeanor and you get out of jail. they know how to make the system, they will take advantage. >> griff: no consequences, that is what you get. when there is demoralizing --

>> griff: this morning a pregnant mother in colorado lucky to be alive, after getting hit by a stray bullet that narrowly missed her two young

children asleep in their beds. the bullet went through the bedroom wall hitting kendall, who joins us now. tell us what happened. >> i was asleep in my bed and we just heard a really loud noise and same time my husband sat up and was like, holy crap, did you hear that. i grabbed my arm and i was like, i just got shot, call 911. it was confusing, had no idea where the bullet came from. he got our weapon and i asked him to look under the bed, it

seemed like somebody shot me from under the bed. we were going through every scenario in our head. he checked under the bed for me. i clicked that it must have came from our kids' room and i asked him to check on the girls. by that time, the first responders were there. they were there within like 60 seconds and got me in the blans and took me to the hospital. the staff was amazing. they did x-rays and told me the bullet was in my arm and my hum rus was broken.

>> griff: they left the bullet in your arm? >> they did. with being pregnant and the way my arm broke, they did not believe it was necessary surgery at that moment, to put me under anesthesia would be a risk to the baby. they did tell me to leave it, let my bone heal and they will make an incision to remove it in a few months. >> griff: danny, what is your reaction? you wake up from the shot and realize kendall has been shot. >> yeah, it is not something you can expect. i heard the gunshots. it is not a rarity, we have heard them, this was different, much louder.

there was a large crack in the room and that woke me up. when i woke up, you are waking up from a dead sleep to kendall being like, i just got shot. trying to get your bearings what is happening at the moment. we were able to establish that, i noticed she was not bleeding profusely, i was able to check on the kids and make sure nobody was in the house. it is not something you can prepare for. >> griff: no. do either of you have any idea where the bullets came from? >> at the moment, no. we were looking everywhere. then once we figured it had come

from the girl's room, we knew it was back of the house in that green area. >> griff: unbelievable. your children, thank goodness are okay. the pregnancy, will this cause complications going forward? >> from what the doctor says, everything looks okay. the baby is moving, everything looks good, i'm trying to focus on keeping my stresdz level down and not causing too much anxiety and bad hormones going through my body. >> griff: our thoughts and prayers are with you guys. danny, i can only imagine, i have two kids. do you think you will stay there? is there a message to do more to

protect the area? w what is next? >> it is hard for me, it is uneasy. like i said, this is not a rarity. we've had some bouts of crime, nothing to this extent. we've heard gunshots at night. i've taken precaution to make sure the house is secure and safe temperature is scary, i can do everything, you can't stop something from just entering your home. >> griff: it's not to be scary. we have to leave it there, we are out of time. thank goodness, you are00 am fokd dangerous winter storm in kansased to make it a wet flew

>> fox weather alert as we are tracking two storms across the country. the first storm, a blizzard across the central part of the country over the last couple of days. nebraska and the dakotas. temperatures are down around freezing. winds gusting to 30 miles-per-hour. yesterday the winds were 60 to 70. this system is winding down and we begin to look at the next impactful weather system on the east coast. showers across the carolinas, portions of the midwest, great lakes and mid-atlantic and seeing light showers. that will linger for a couple of days. if you're up to new york rounds of showers the next 48 hours that could bring a slight chance of flooding. those are with weather headlines. tossing it back to you, joey. >> here are the top that's near and dear to my heart college

football. the first match-up in louisville and usc. watch it all on fox with coverage starting at 7:30 p.m. eastern time. it will be a good game. joining us with a preview sports agent and analyst doug eldridge. let's talk about the game. louisville is a team that came into the season without much expectation. new coach, didn't do much last year. pac-12 this year, final year. every team is good. usc with all the momentum in the world and they just fall flat all season. this game, i think, will be on important one for both moving forward. >> 100%. if it was a title fight it might be might have been and still could be. usc7-five start. they dropped to one in five down the back end. on the other side what could be.

louisville a first year coach finished the season 10-one. 15th in the country. a program on assent. who would have picked coming into the start of the season louisville would be the favorite over usc. the holiday bowl. >> the holiday bowl may not be a new year bowl. it brings two coaches and conferences together and recruiting. if we zoom out and look at the college football landscape. i'm a georgia fan. i don't have as much of a gripe as maybe florida state fans. i was upset that my team wasn't one of the four to play for the championship. they won the last two. my team is number six. five is fsu. they didn't lose a game at all. the top four play for a championship. next year they may all be in the

playoff of 12 teams going into next year. what's the real effect of expanding to a 12-team playoff? >> in a moment where the college sports are losing grip on notions of amateur and student athlete they found a way to back up the brinks truck and fire up the money printing machine. expanded playoff scheme will do nothing but make more money. remember, they are already getting $470 million a year just from media rights alone. if we expand it from four teams to 12 or beyond as the talk is laying up, this is going to be billions of dollars for the ncaa. the question is at what risk to the athletes, right? if you are an nfl prospect the notion of playing three more games is not that exciting. it really isn't. the probability of injury increases exponentially at the end of the season given the wear and tear and miles on the tires. the players aren't as excited about it.

fans are. nobody is licking their chops like the cfp. >> college football is important in every hometown. i think we're losing the regional. thank you for giving us your break down. well, guys. >> a great interview. i'm glad it's over. the whole time i was staring at the chick-fil-a by you. >> you weren't excited about the holiday bowl? >> good score. how many have you got there? when do the dogs play? >> new year. they play in the orange bowl against florida state. half of each team will play. hopefully it will be a good game. >> hit the gridiron. >> chris is looking it up during the interview. >> the original football field looked like a cross hatch. >> we'll eat chick-fil-a. >> have a good day, everybody. >> bye. >> as the migrant crisis
