>> griff: percentage break down of what i accomplished. i admire will's list. i have one this year and it may be the secret to life. >> joey: oh, no. >> griff: that is go bed early. that you will past week joey and i were on the couch. forced me to go to bed at 8:00 every night. i deal like a million bucks. my wife says you look great. i go to bed at 8:00. i feel like i'm joining the senior club my new year's resolution is go to bed early. >> rachel: senior club. it's just the morning show, people. [laughter] >> griff: i didn't even make it to 10:00. >> joey: i didn't hear. >> rachel: key to life be a morning show host then did you go bed early. >> joey: i get to going to bed early part. i have that down pat. it's the waking up feeling like a million bucks. i'm creaking when i wake up and aching and it takes me about an hour. thankfully i get up an couple hours before the show.

>> joey: got the new year rung in. we were debating whether or not they would get it off. said anything, also, australia. they also rang in the new year. >> rachel: look at that. that's pretty impressive. dallas over by will -- i think will is on vacation. is he actually not in dallas right now. but there is his hometown. dubai, i have a brother in dubai. >> joey: look at that. >> rachel: celebrating with his family. >> griff: i do like the new year's fireworks part. that's cool. fox last year on new year's at midnight i went surfing in jacksonville -- or daytona beach. be. >> rachel: i remember that. >> joey: i like the sleep better than the cold midnight waves:imnot. i'm not going to lie. i went to sleep at 9:18, 9:30. i didn't get woken up. i didn't hear anything. whatever they are doing over there they got good insulation.

if there were a couple thousand people partying during my sleep, i didn't know it. i woke up this morning and nothing had burned down that i was aware of. it was a new year. i'm here and ready. >> rachel: all ready bushy eyed. ready to start the morning. >> griff: stealing your husband's i.d. i told you i'm calling you out on this. can i show the american people? right off the bat. there is new york city. shear a shot -- >> rachel: last two days i haven't been able to find my pass to fox. as i got up this morning. sean was sleeping like a baby. i saw his wallet. i stole his i.d. >> griff: public service announcement wake up and i.d. >> rachel: anyway, the good thing is it's like having a little frame of him right there so he is with us this morning. you guys are with us, too. we asked to you email some of

your resolutions. i know you said the best resolution is to be a morning show host and get up early. here is jerry saying compliment three people every day. forget the joneses. >> joey: what he is saying keeping up with the joneses. otherwise, attacking me. will here is one for henry. i will use my smart phone to actually reconnect and have a real conversation with a different person each month. i can like where is he going with that i would say you're probably trying to connect with people of distance maybe put the phone away and connect with people at the coffee shop or cracker barrel. >> rachel: lady who does my makeup char counsel stairs. her phone gave up i g.e.d. maybe it's a great way to detox from the phone addiction.

>> griff: a dad of four in missouri saying he is going to learn to how to communicate only through emojis and also a expert negotiator at settling cill disputes. good luck, lou with that. >> rachel: you can settle sibling disputes. you could settle the whole israeli, palestinian conflict. >> joey: people post their parent's text and use the emojis in different ways if dad only knew what that really meant to us, i'm always worried. >> rachel: my kids look at my emojis and say boomer. they think my emoji selection -- griff gruff the older you get you don't get better. >> rachel: no, just ages you. >> joey: hard to keep up. the pregnant man emoji, i use that at thanksgiving for my belly is full. >> griff: send us your resolutions friends at i foxnews.com.

we want to share them all morning long. >> rachel: joe biden our president is off on vacation. i think he spends about 37% of his days this year has been either on vacation at camp david or, you know, at his beach house. and but he is on vacation again. this time in the caribbean at some luxury pad owned by some billionaire. i never understood why presidents think that's a good look. but that's what he is doing. nonetheless, he was asked to share his new year's message this year at dick clark's new year's rocken eve. here's what he had to say. >> mr. president, before we start here about the new year, i'm curious, what sorts of holiday foods have you been enjoying over the last few days? >> i have been eating everything they put in front of me. pasta, which i love. eating a lot of chicken. chicken parmon. i have been eating all italian food, basically. >> and ice cream. >> ice cream. chocolate chip ice cream. >> we have a million plus on

times square and some eyes on the big ball for the big moment tonight as we get ready for 2024. what are your hopes for the new year, for both of you. >> my hope is everybody has a healthy, happy and safe new year. beyond that, i hope that they understand that we are in a position position than any country in the world to lead world we're coming back. >> if i'm watching that clip i'm watching jill biden who is white-knuckled and super nervous as this whole thing is going down. and you understand why. are. >> griff: as they beam in from st. croix to the dick clark's rocken new year's eve. it's fascinating that he has been so programmed to stay on message about the economy is good, despite the fact that basically the core inflation metric is down, which doesn't affect in any way the reality of what americans are feeling at the gas station or the grocery store but we did get also from

the biden-harris campaign at 5:00 p.m. i get the mass email stuff. the last one of the year they send us this. it says i'm going to read it to you. with joe biden in the white house, everyday is a good day for america's middle class. that's because president biden is always looking out for working people like the ones he grew up with back at home in scranton. by the way he left scranton in 1953. that's exactly 70 years ago whether he went to delaware. >> rachel: right. >> griff: this whole notion that you're better off. you're doing great no. matter what's going on in your life just remember you are great because of me. now, fox's latest polling asked people if they were better off, if the bidenomics has improved their life, only 14% could say that they were helped by this economy. >> joey: funny to me that they point out scranton that way concerning the polling that came out this week or actually the

data came out this week showed 20,000 more democrats switching to republicans in pennsylvania than republicans switching to democrats: 35,000 democrats in pennsylvania have now registered as republicans going into this election cycle. only 15 going that way. a 20,000 voter gain for republicans in pennsylvania. and they put out a statement pointing out scranton. so, there understand that and i guess they are trying to appeal or maybe they are just that tone deaf. >> i have been trying to understand why john fetterman has been saying the things he is saying. >> joey: i hadn't thought of that. >> rachel: that's an interesting connection there. there is sort of this idea it's almost like 1948 where they are beaming. you are happy. you are happy. your prices are lower. life is better under biden. but you are like but it's not. i go to the grocery store -- i went to the grocery store not yesterday but the day before so i could buy everything that i wanted to have yesterday when my -- we were going to have our

little new year's eve dinner with my family. i was sick to my stomach going through the line. i was buying for basically one meal and a few things here and there i might need during the week and my bill was so high and i was freaking out. in fact, i wanted to get a responsible by. and i just couldn't bring myself to do it. because there was another kind of steak that was on sale and i just was like i can't -- people are having to make all kinds of choices and they are like, things they might splurge on even on new year's eve, i can't do it. my bill is just too high. >> griff: there is an old saying in politics, if you grab them by their pocketbooks their hearts and minds will follow. if you treat them poorly with their pocketbook they will kick you out of office. that is what they're up against right now. because, the feds target is always about 2%. trump did a pretty good job keeping there. obviously it rose to 9% over 9%

like june of 2022. and he has, in fairness to biden, he has brought it back down. it's not effecting things like going shopping at the grocery store that you did. gas prices are down but they are still costing people an an arm and leg. >> rachel: there is war on energy. >> griff: that's right. ultimately as we start off heading down towards another election. iowa caucuses coming up. people are not feeling confident in their pocketbook. and there is really nothing on the horizon that this administration is saying they are going to do that's going to shift that. that's going to change that. other than just keep telling you are happy. it's like that -- remember vacation, the t-shirt forced family fun like you are -- technically you are on that summer vacation. if you are not having fun, you're not having fun. >> rachel: yeah. great analogy. >> joey: what people are looking to purchase or spend their money on or what is inflated. for example, homes and vehicles. those are two things that just about every family in a cycle of

a year otwo either sells or buys. that's something we do in america. we can live there how we want and get there how we want. i can get almost out of the truck i own made in 2019 what i paid for it. but i'm still spending twice as much as did i in 2019 to replace it. people have found themselves in this place where it all doesn't make sense. the math doesn't add up. can you get twice a as much out of hour home but pay twice as everywhere for a home to move into. people don't want to sell their vehicle. the used car market isn't there. even though they can get more money they don't have the money to replace it. >> griff: i have a truck with a side view mirrors and dent all over it. i love that truck. we will see. meanwhile, coming up. fox news alert. nine reportedly hurt with one in critical condition after a vehicle plowed through a crowd in new york city. we have more on that coming up.

>> rachel: plus, a fox weather alert. japan issues a tsunami warning and orders immediate evacuations after an earthquake happened overnight. our own adam klotz has an update, next. >> joey: new year could mean new fortune for someone. the latest power ball numbers and next drawings all of that ahead. the ladies have been doing a lot of talking recently. she looks great! what they don't know is i got inspire, a sleep apnea treatment that works inside my body. i feel refreshed because i'm not struggling with cpap anymore. 100 bucks she got work done. great sleep, at the click of a button. did she get implants?

>> griff: worry back with a fox news alert. multiple in the hospital police officer after a man plowed through new york city streets in suv overnight. police initially responding to a dispute involving a suspect near penn station and manhattan before that 44-year-old man took off in his vehicle. the suspect striking dozens of cars including handful of police vehicles as he tried to evade authorities. he was arrested a few blocks away. charges filed and no word on the total number of people hurt. we will bring you more as we get it. now to a fox weather alert. a 7.6 magnitude earthquake

striking off the northwestern coast of japan earlier today sparking tsunami warnings and evacuations. fire believed to be related to the quakes as well as other damage. the shocks being felt as far as away as tokyo. no official reports yet on deaths and injuries. tsunami warnings have also been issued in north korea and parts of russia. let's check in now with meteorologist adam klotz what's the weather look like. >> this is not relate to the tsunami warnings you were talking about. folks on the west coast know there have been really high surf active waves over the last several days across portions of california. we still have some of those issues looking at high surf advisories and warnings across southern california with waives getting up to around 10 to 15 feet in some locations. they were as high as 20, 25 feet. this was really active as can you tell things have calmed down

a little bit and looking at some of those wave heights closer to 7 feet. it has been incredibly active for folks up and down the west coast. fortunately that's beginning to back down a little bit fairly active but not as much as we were seeing. temperatures go across the country. i will leave with you that cold in the middle of the country as we start off the new year. typically where we should be a little bit warmer up and down the west coast. rachel, tossing it over to you. >> rachel: thank you, adam. anti-israel protesters seen and heard all over new york city yesterday except for times square. a massive group storming the 34th street macy's setting off a smoke bomb inside the store. while others could actually be heard praising the ongoing attacks by iranian terror proxies.

>> griff: ever play the power ball? >> rachel: i just texted my husband and said we should play power ball today. >> griff: i have never won but one lucky person could be starting off the new year as a multi millionaire as tonight's powerball jackpot grows to one of the biggest in the lottery's history. >> our very own alexandria hoff is live in d.c. and she is going to make it down for us. >> good morning to you. if you fell down in your luck in 2023 hoping to turn things around stoiblegly this is not going to do it. might park billionaire excitement. estimated $810 million jackpot is now the fifth largest in powerball history and tenth in u.s. history. shot up after there was yet again no winner in saturday's drawing where the prize had reached $650 million. in fact 34 consecutive powerball drawings with no winner. but, if that person is you don't, you can expect a

this is always really foreign keep in mind. one in 292.2 million, guys. >> i'm not going to think about that. >> are you kidding me? >> think positive. >> are you going to play? >> i do like to play only for -- only when it gets this big and only so my husband and i can have that hour long discuss of what we are going to do which is mainly try to stay anonymous and ease out of society. >> rachel: sounds good. i'm going to join you on that threetypicalisland. >> we can win it. >> griff: she nailed it. i only play when it gets really big. rach rach me too. my dad plays regularly. i will tell you i know someone who won the lottery twice. >> griff: what? >> congressman jim sensenbrenner won it twice. >> didn't kevin mccarthy win the lottery? that started his career. he won the lottery. >> rachel: i think you are

right. >> joey: something at play here. we need to look into this. >> griff: start the year right and win the powerball. pack your patience. 2.5 million people are expected to hit the friendly skies today. >> rachel: but, first, 2023 was the rise of a.i. how will the tech tech byte ine new year? >> joey: kurt the cyberguy is here. >> kurt: happy new year. ♪ so you can get to sleep and wake up ready to go. how could you?

this but give us your example. i love you say that in 2023, we learned that a.i. could take our job but in 2024, we need to learn how to use it to do our job. explain what you mean. >> exactly. happy new year, joey. >> happy new year. it's going to be happy if you can get your head wrapped around a.i. i think '23 was that year we holy crud look at the aa missile. of what a.i. is doing good and bad. we saw good. we saw the things, for example, a doctor now says that a.i. can read radiology better than they can. and identify breast cancer before it's a doctor's own human eyes can detect it. they have the bad side of it. so from my perspective you see cyber attacks were already plentiful then these hackers get ahold of a.i. and it's like nuclear weapons coming into our house in terms of the vulnerabilities that can bring into our lives to ultimately get to our bank accounts. we got to keep our eye on that. and then even deeper we got to

keep our eye on is the idea in '24, rogue governments that have, for example, access to nuclear weapons. a.i. could be that response mechanism. instead of human beings that could potentially launch a war. so, what we're doing in this country is kind of like a band-aid to a.i. but, in terms of what you and i need to focus in on for '24, yeah, we learned that it could take our jobs. that's true. but, this is the year to say how can i use a.i. to understand how it's going to do that and stop it and instead you be the boss of a.i.? so understand, you know, whether you want to embrace a.i. or not in '24, it's gonna come. it's coming it your life. it's touching our lives, i mean, in so many ways we don't even realize yet. so, what we need to do now is say okay, i'm just going to be open to understand it. whether i want to embrace it or not, it's really gonna put you

in the power driver's seat in '24 to just know how it's ticking. know how it touches us along the way and see how can i understand that better to either keep it in the safe space away from me or use it to make my job better, to actually get aa raise instead of being replaced by it. >> joey: there is articles out talking to business leaders. they are putting their prediction out how they can use a.i. in their business. a lot of people in that position. is a.i. going -- through automation, take my job away from me? is it going to do my skill set better than i can do? i think for a lot of people they need to understand that it's not the automation will take their job but they are learning to use the automation as opposed to doing the skill set. >> kurt: a.i. could replace our jobs in the workplace and the bosses are thinking oh wow i'm going to save some money here and maybe even deliver a better product to the world. what could you do as an american

to really grip that? and that is to say i will understand it enough so that i can apply it to what we do as a business, to then make that product better with my boss, with our team and i think that's how you win in 2024 with all this crazy technology swirling around us. >> griff: technology goes nowhere but forward. we have to learn to live with it i guess and that's what you are saying. >> foxnews.com/tech we published an amazing forecast for 2024 on what is coming up in tech. and then if you want an alert to know when you are being attacked go to cyber guy.com and sign up for the newsletter and get a warning. >> joey: with a lot of doom and groom on the border. other things. thank you for coming in and sharing positive outlook and what is a scary topic for a lot of people. >> happy new year joey. >> joey: now two weeks away from the iowa caucus. but anyone can catch trump? no, i don't think so. the latest polls ahead.

things are looking really really good. currently no travel delays as far as weather goes. there is very little risk that there will be any as you take a look at what the forecast is across the country. one of the few spots paying attention to is this rain moving into new york city. a little further off to the west that's snow. currently snowing in pittsburgh and buffalo. as can you tell none of this is particularly heavy. if you are having to catch a flight, this is not going to be a big issue for you. i will leave with you the forecast here today. temperature large and climbing into the 30's, 40's, and 50's here on this first day of january. those are the weather headlines. tossing it back in to you, griff. >> griff: rain go away. adam klotz, thank you. this morning we are officially in the election year the rails for the white house is heating up with the first caucus in iowa just 14 days away. latest polls still show donald trump with a huge lead at 52% you see here while ron desantis and nikki haley trail behind at 18 and 16% respectively. joining us now with a firsthand

look at the state of the race as this state preps for caucus iowa radio host jeff angelo and your radio show, jeff, is awesome. it's what you need to know with jeff angelo. what do americans need to know about what is about to take place and transpire in iowa? >> first of all wee have a bunch of reporters eating 00 our restaurants. i won't be able to get a reservation. >> griff: that's okay. fang's pizza save a pizza for me. >> that's right on the company expense account. that he was the key there trump is going to win bigly, that is going to happen. the race in iowa is for second place. and then that candidate needs to gain some momentum in a state down the line, new hampshire or south carolina to come positioned as the alternative to trump in the race. but here in iowa, trump is going to win it in a run away. >> griff: jeff, i have read that you're looking to possibly have

your iowa g.o.p. chairman saying they expect record turnout. but if trump is going to win by a landslide, why is a turnout going to be so large and intense? >> "fox & friends." you know, you folks are talking about it continuously. i'm talking about it continuously when i was going out to holiday gatherings with many friends, many of which never caucused before. curiosity up. >> they would like to caucus and put in their two cents for who is going to the next presidential nominee for the republican party there are a lot of people who do come to a caucus for the very first time simply because they have been hearing all of the buzz. chances are quite frankly, griff, presidential candidate. there just trying to eat omelet and suddenly nikki haley is standing there talking about foreign policy.
