since jimmy carter. >> todd: he is not wrong, where is kamala harris? she's had three years and received so many different tasks, yet done none of them and only time you see them doing anything is word salad. charlamagne is on to something you are right as to what it means. do you expect any policy surprise from the administration to win back black voters in next 11 months >> joe: no, they are risk adverse and playing not to lose. >> todd: questionable strategy, you play not to lose when you have the lead, they do not have the lead when it comes to trump and haley and maybe even

♪ ♪ we're all excited the gang is back together this wednesday morning after a christmas holiday. a christmas break for each of us. it was a wonderful time. makes us all grateful for this job and we are all back together. feels good. >> steve: feels great. welcome back, brian. >> before yesterday. >> we were here, and griff jenkins was here as well through the entire holiday. hats off to him and everybody else who filled in the chair. >> brian: must have been tough for him to not surf. griff prefers to surf. >> steve: i was talking to griff yesterday because is he going to go down today to south florida to go surfing. and i told him the beaches are gone because of beach erosion

over the last month. >> brian: you are kidding. >> steve: beaches are pretty much shot. >> lawrence: finally gets to celebrate and there is no beach. >> ainsley: still waves. >> brian: waves crash into land. just send you. >> steve: just smooths out. no roll. >> ainsley: y'all, before christmas we saw the president was going to be ivy league go in front of the congress. >> steve: how did they do? >> ainsley: elise stefanik what was happening on college campuses with the anti-semitism. clawed dean gay people said we want you to step down. elise alumni said i want you to step down as well. they were trying to work through all of that. as of yesterday she decided to resign. keeps $900,000 salary and return to a position of faculty. >> steve: making $900,000? she was actually making $900,000 about that much before she became president. and so after her disastrous

appearance about a month ago on capitol hill where -- here's the thing. she'll and the other two presidents of these ivy league universities were asked to really simple question. do you condone violence against jews, doesn't that fly in the face of your codes of conduct at your various schools? they would not answer it. it was so easy. here's the soundbite that essentially cost. >> geraldo: job. but she keeps her salary. >> so the answer is yes, that calling for the genocide of jews violates harvard code of conduct, correct? >> it depends on the context -- >> it does not depend on the context. the answer is yes. and this is why you should resign. >> steve: she is right. >> lawrence: brian, i think this. a lot of people see this as a victory. i happen to disagree. i just think this is one person. what about the 12-member board that appointed her? why do they get to keep their

job? why does the general counsel who worded this crafty statement that she read in front of congress, why do they get to stay? all of them need to go, plus the over 150-plus professors that signed a letter in agreement of her staying. i know some people are celebrating this and by the way why didn't you vet her to look at her plagiarism? she got the ph.d. in 1998. i think i was 6 at the time. y'all had plenty of time to look through her work. apparently people had already reported some of the stuff was plagiarized and y'all didn't take any of that into consideration before you all appointed her? i just think they need to clean house in the entire campus? >> brian: same thing with u penn that president resigned and still on the faculty keeps the salary. if it wasn't for the plagiarism she would still be there. barack obama jumped to her cause i want her there and want her to stay. the plagiarism was too much and it kept growing. christopher rufo he looked into it he did some investigating.

he didn't make anything up didn't give fiery speeches. he said how do you explain this? the numbers kept growing. evidently she decided the number of plagiarism, the proof of plagiarism continued to grow. i think it's basically proven i love the way people say it's not that she plagiarized she took quotes from other people and didn't attribute it. fine. get my head around it. it has been distressing to have doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and the upholding scholarly rigor to bedrock values that are fundamentally to who i am and frightening to be subjected to threatening attacks and hate filled animus. that's what we heard from al sharpton. he believes that she broke the glass ceiling as a block woman and that that's the reason she lost her job, which is really you have to allude -- you have to devoid yourself from the facts. >> steve: racist? was it racist a couple weeks ago when elizabeth magill of u penn

resigned? she was at the same disastrous press conference and she made exactly the same argument. hey, it depends. essentially is what they were saying. >> ainsley: how did we get here, steve? >> steve: one other point, ainsley that is the plagiarism president, didn't our current president, wasn't he accused of plagiarism a number of times? law school, when he stole neil kinnick's stump speech when he was running for president back in the 1980s? plagiarisms and presidents we have seen this before. >> ainsley: group of 30 harvard student groups that went to the newspaper and were on campus talking about what was happening on campus. >> and they said that this was israel's fault after october 7th. so that's really what started this how did we get there? and then she stood by those groups. she didn't condone -- she condoned what they were doing. she didn't condemn them. then she allowed them to protest on campus. then she went in front of congress and said well, it depends on the context of why

they would call for genocide. then it was revealed that she plagiarized. since thin harvard has seen early admissions drop 17%. fewer students applied for coveted spots compared to last year and lost $1 billion in donations jewish groups and students are celebrating this resignation only saying this should have happened sooner. >> lawrence: here's the problem though, ainsley, when they talk about the racial animus of this, we as a country because we are a young country. a little only 200 years. we all celebrate when we break certain glass glass ceilings. she didn't break the glass ceiling on her merit. she plagiarized her work. and i think to then say hey, look, it is because of my race, and you guys didn't want me to break the glass ceiling anyway, when you literally put all this work out that wasn't really your own, t did you really break the glass ceiling? did you use someone else's work

to break the glass ceiling? that's what a lot of americans are saying right now. >> brian: good point this is what the americans are saying and generals. >> these plagiarism allegations where clawed dean has had to issue multiple corrections. we should note that claw dean gay has not been accused of stealing anyone's ideas in any of her writings. she has been accused of sort of, more like copying other people's writings without attributions. >> i can't even imagine what she has had to face there are people who have come straight out and said that they believe that clawed dean gay, you know, before the plagiarism allegations came out they believe claw dean gay was only appointed because she is black and a woman but especially because she is black. >> why are elite colleges capitulating to it and essentially making it so uncomfortable for women leaders that they have to step down to be replaced by white men? >> bret stephens, who used to be at the "wall street journal" and now an op-ed writer over at the "new york times," he has got a great op-ed in the "new york

times" this morning that says why was she brought n the first place with a scholarly record as thin as hers? she has not written a single book, published only 11 journal articles in 26 years, how did she reach the pinnacle of american academia he wrote. where there used to be pinnacle now there is a crater created by the social justice model of higher education. >> ainsley: she didn't do the right thing when it came to israel. steve: easy thing to do, too. >> she would have said this is wrong. we're not having this you are all suspended or expelled. she didn't do that when it dime anti-semitism. the media starts digging into her past. they pull up all the plableggism stuff and then all of the sudden the board at harvard has to organization what it is called has to say look, we're losing money. you can't plagiarize and be president. the face of our university. this ivy league school. if you have been plagiarizing. one thing led to another and now she is out. >> lawrence: that montage was incredible to not even

understand what plagiarism is. and the last thing i will say bry, the president kind of started this whole thing with just saying hey, i'm only going to appoint someone to the supreme court if it's a black woman. i'm only going to appoint someone to the vice presidency as a black woman. the standard used to be most black folks i'm around my entire life have said we just want an equal playing field to get the job. the democrats now have said we're just going to end that and we're just going to tell you exactly who we are going to appoint. one pool of people. that's not right. >> brian: do you remember when the celebrities were found to be lying about their kids, about their kids' background in order to get into these schools. and i saw a lot of minorities on campus speak up and goes yeah, now we know how you feel because celebrities walking around on campus, people wink and nod. we know you didn't earn it. we know legacy or because your parents are famous. people look at people on campus and they think the same thing of minorities. yet some of them have perfect

sats, unbelievable scores, greatest says and they belong there because the people had the sense of the dei in these schools. look at minority only reason you are there because. >> lawrence: it's the worst feeling. >> ainsley: i agree with you, lawrence, as a woman we want an equal playing field. >> lawrence: that's it. >> ainsley: if i'm as smart as the next guy or equal playing field. everyone is equal as long as they have the credentials and experience. i just want to be considered and i understand that. >> brian: this is what i hope happens now. you know how everything changes stood up for virginia and what happens going on with the attacks. will started running for school board and more involved in kids' work. my hope is now people start looking at their colleges and making them understand you can't be anti-american. fundamentally do you know what this is? it's anti-semitism, anti-american. these are the same idiots that shut down jfk airport that are plaguing our streets and interrupting our tree lighting that same attitude starts in elite colleges but now is everywhere. my sense is people have to say

now it stops. steve: do you know what? after listening to this for the last 11 minutes, i have made up my mind, i am not going to harvard. i am not going. sorry. don't ask. [sighs] >> steve: 6:11 now in the east on this wednesday that kind of feels like a tuesday. coming up, show him the money. president joe biden says it's not his fault he can't fix the border. he needs dough to go. >> the money i need to protect the border. >> brian: thanks for the press access. plus, first gold bars and now watches. the new bribery allegations bob menendez involving qatar. why is he still in office? and i put that in italics. >> ainsley: how long is too long to keep up the christmas lights? how long do you keep yours up? that story is coming up. >> brian: is that my street? >> steve: that's my yard ♪ take a chance on me ♪ if you need me, let me know

♪ if you got no place to go ♪ if you're feeling down ♪

i think he's having a midlife crisis i'm not. you got us t-mobile home internet lite. after a week of streaming they knocked us down... ...to dial up speeds. like from the 90s. great times. all i can do say is that my life is pre-- i like watching the puddles gather rain. -hey, your mom and i procreated to that song. oh, ew! i think you've said enough. why don't we just switch to xfinity like everyone else? then you would know what year it was. i know what year it is. >> lawrence: back with your headlines another attack by houthi rebels. iranian backed group fired two antiship ballistic missiles at

merchant ships in the red sea overnight. no dang was reported. attacks come after senior hamas leader was killed in drone strike in lebanon. top official had long been on israel wants hit list. the idf has claimed no responsibility. new overnight, former president donald trump's legal team making final requests with a federal appeals court seeking immunity in the ongoing election interference case. trump's lawyers also appealing the decision to remove him from maine's 2024 ballot. the appeal argues that the unilateral move made by maine's secretary of state was biased and that she had made multiple errors of law. ever wonder how long your retirement fund will last? a new study breaks down how far $1 million will take you in each state. your money will last the longest in mississippi, oklahoma, and alabama. that million bucks would last about 22 years in those states but on the flip side, you will burn through that money the fastest in high tax states like hawaii, massachusetts, and new york, of course.

we want to from you though. will you remain in your state when it comes time to retire? send us your comment at friends@foxnews.com. we want to hear it. >> steve: that's right. one of the other things regarding that is because of the high cost of interest right now and inflation, that's why when it comes to hawaii, it lasts, what, 10 years something like that? double that in mississippi. and even higher in some of the no tax states. we gearing to talk about where people are moving according to u-haul coming up in a minute. >> ainsley: so sad you can be in a spot for 20, 30 years, raise your kids, make all your friends, have your community and you have to leave because you can't afford to stay there. >> steve: stay there today but you plan to live 20, 30 years. >> lawrence: always welcome in texas. just don't bring your crazy policies. >> ainsley: that's what south carolinians are saying. >> brian: as you sit in new

york. >> ainsley: your job is here you don't have a choice. >> steve: breakfast bar. >> brian: christmas tree. >> ainsley: bread and butter is. >> brian: both parties agree is utter disaster that is what is happening at our southern border and it's getting worse. when there is a chance to crack down on the border, do you know what the federal government is doing? cracking down on the barbed wire that the governor of texas is laying out. they are actually suing to make sure that the governor of texas takes down the bashed wire. the little protection we have now they are in heated negotiations to come up with somewhat of a comprehensive asylum rules that might extend the unprecedented tide of illegals. >> ainsley: senators have been trying to work for a compromise on the border. lindsey graham has been leading that effort. i can't go back to south carolina and tell them hey, we need more money for ukraine. we need more money for israel yet, our border is completely

open. >> lawrence: just a quick flashback when joe biden decided to -- when he took office, on day one. he got you rid of the border fencing that was right outside the border wall area that they were constructing under donald trump's administration. not just that. he got rid of all the technology that they had sitting there to install around the border fence. now the president is saying tell the republicans that we need more money to fix the border. watch. >> what are you going to do about the southern border, president? >> what? >> the southern border? [inaudible] >> got to do something. they ought to give me the money i need to protect the border. >> steve: so joe biden is saying give me the money. and i think he is talking about the negotiations with the congress. you know, bowers the congress, they are trying to do something with ukraine and israel and republicans are trying to include the border with that.

so he is asking for money for ukraine and for israel and it looks like there will be money for the border it, sounds like, or a change of policy. here's the thing what is joe biden going to do with the money? you think is he going to lock the doors? absolutely not at the southern border. what is he going to do is bring in more people to process the record number of migrants. we were talking about this yesterday. during the month of december. they broke a record. 302 people from other countries got into our country that we know of and for the most part they are here. joe biden wants some more money to get those people that you see right there into the united states faster. not turn them around but get in faster. >> brian: see, that's what he wants. that's not what he is going to get. >> steve: we will see. >> brian: if he wants funding for israel and taiwan. heated negotiations, senator lankford over the weekend they worked every single day over the break except for christmas, christmas eve and the day after, working on some type of asylum

changes and admission into our country. not just border money. and they are looking at something, also, that has to pass the house who -- that has been led by the senator from oklahoma. the other senator from oklahoma. he is keeping everyone up to date in the house about what they're dealing with on the senate side. time matters. and so let's be optimistic that the republicans have enough leverage to make him make the changes to allow him you to do his job and stop this incredible invasion. >> ainsley: gave him money to build that wall. he never finished building the wall. i think they have added like 20 more miles since he has been president. we watched all video of all the materials rotting and rusting on the side. so, you had a lot of money, joe biden. you decided to end all of these policies that were working, working a lot better, according to the numbers, if you look at these astronomical numbers since you have been in office. >> lawrence: at its core the issue is not a money issue. it's a policy issue.

>> ainsley: absolutely. >> lawrence: give him all the money all day is he going tone 40s laws on the book. >> ainsley: no. we saw that, we gave him the money and nothing happened. >> lawrence: good point. >> steve: i would like to address the elephant in the room for a moment. joe biden -- you can hardly tell from that video we just showed you. joe biden came back from the caribbean absolutely lobster red. you know, we have seen him up in delaware. >> he loves to be out at the beach. here's the thing. that is nine months after he had surgery to remove skin cancer from his chest. you got to wonder, you know,. >> lawrence: not a lot of sunscreen. >> steve: no, not on his face. is he bright red. but you wonder, come on, joe, you trying to kill yourself? stay out of the sun. >> brian: irish are bred as young children to stay out of the sun. >> steve: right, i'm swedish, i'm north of you. >> brian: were you briefed as well. >> steve: no, i went to ikea.

>> brian: blister. jim jordan one of the republicans at the border with the speaker who are touring the border to find out the exact issues necessary. jim jordan give us the idea. >> ainsley: skin check and talk about the sun and find out what spf he uses. >> steve: hope it's a big number. >> ainsley: more than 200 service members demanding accountability after the covid vaccine mandate was forced upon him. an official who signed a new open fox news alert err letter is going to join us next. >> brian: plus, more trouble for bob menendez, this time involving qatar.

>> steve: this morning new jersey's long-time democratic senator robert menendez, picture right there -- has been hit with more federal charges accusing him now of helping the country of qatar secure deals with the

united states mr. menendez got like a $24,000 watch. it's the second gulf state menendez is accused of helping. he already faces corruption and bribery charges for allegedly using his position to help the country of egypt. our next guest says he is unfit to serve and is now currently running to take his seat. menden new jersey republican mayor joins us live. good morning to you, mayor. >> good morning, steve. how are you? >> steve: i'm a little surprised. i figured it sounds like the feds got the goods on him regarding egypt and now qatar, too? and one of the guys is allegedly -- one of the people he was apparently trying to help sent him that catalog and said which one do you like? crazy. >> it's troubling but not surprising, right? this is actually bigger than gold bar bob menendez.

it goes into the heart of democratic politics. he has been in some cases it's been perpetrated by democrats. and he has been enabled if you look at 2018. >> he got in trouble. look at all of the democrats that came out financially supporting him. even governor murphy's wife tammy murphy gave him thousands of dollars people gave him lots of money toward legal defense fund. people have continued to support this kind of behavior it's not what new jersey deserves not what we lead need to look at in 2024 you know, one of the other interesting things i noticed was so here you have the chair of the foreign relations committee, supposedly taking bribes from qatar what country has been not only hosting but protecting the leadership of hamas, the terrorist organization?

qatar we need to continue seeing this in the news. >> steve: speaking of web. you mentioned the first lady the wife of phil murphy, the governor, and she is running for the same seat you are, essentially. she is run for senate. >> and she has supported him throughout the years. >> steve: she has been supporting menendez. >> right. >> steve: now she wants his job, right? because it's that continuation of a power grab by the democrats. this is about power for them. people seem to forget, which is part of why i say we need to return integrity to this seat in 2024. this is a job. public service job. serving the public, not self-service, which is what he has done, which is what candidates want to continue to do. i have been in service my whole life as a mom and a mayor. i understand what service is. i know what public service is.

want to continue that for the people of new jersey and not have the power go to elected officials and elitists return the power to the people my goal. >> steve: a statement from senator menendez says essentially he didn't do anything wrong. all right. let's see, christine serano glassner perhaps the next senator from the great state of new jersey, thank you, mayor. >> i am working towards it. will thank you. >> steve: ainsley joins us with news from japan which we watched yesterday. collision at the tokyo international airport. japan airlines flight collided with a coast guard plane while they were trying to land five coast guard members were killed and all 379 people on board that commercial flight narrowly escaping. the shocking video capturing the moment that the passenger plane burst into flames. local reports reveal the control

tower cleared the plane for landing before the collision. utah police releasing this footage of a moment a missing foreign exchange from china was rescued from a snowy mountainside. the teenager is a foreign exchange student. teenager was first reported missing last week after his parents received a message from a group claiming that the 17-year-old had been abducted. in response, his parents reportedly paid a ransom of $80,000. police are calling the incident a, quote: cyber kidnapping. and that's when the victim is told to stay away from loved ones for fear that they will be harmed. tickets to the college football championship game between michigan and washington will cost you at least $1,200 on the secondary market that's for seats in the nose bleed section. if you want to get in the 100 level, tickets can run up to $53,000. one man, who can afford, it is dave portnoy who won a million dollars after betting on

michigan to beat alabama in the rose bowl. >> finally a big ten team sticks it to the big bad bully. now we are going to houston. we ain't done. this is about the national title. yeah i'm a million richer. i don't care. this is about the naty. >> the bar stole founder will join us this morning to tell us if he will place another bet for that game. those are your headlines. now we will hand it over to you, brian. >> brian: i have never heard athat word so i'm a million dollars richer. i don't care about that. i have never heard that phrase until now. >> ainsley: i'm sure dave has seller million in his bank account. he is probably like this just pennies. >> brian: yeah, maybe. i think. so we'll talk to him in two hours. he will be on. >> ainsley: that's right. >> brian: more than 200 former and current service members demanding president biden's current be court-martialed and fired for forcing the covid vaccine on our military. in an open letter to america they say, quote: while

implementing the covid-19 vaccine mandate broke the law. trampled constitutional rights. service members and families significantly harmed. some service members became homeless population. some developed debilitating vaccine injuries. some even lost their lives. our next guest sign that letter. former combat pilot author of the upcoming book unfit to fight. how woke policies are destroying our military. she joins us now. amber, what prompted to you join this fight? >> i signed on to this letter because senior military, generals are failing the troops they kicked out over 8,000 able body capable service members who did nothing wrong other than stand by their beliefs, stand on their principles of not wanting to take unproven vaccine and in doing so they destroyed their lives some lost their pensions, they lost their livelihoods. they lost benefits. and almost worst of all is that they lost the trust that all is

right and just in the military institution. and that trust is absolutely essential for commanders to be effective on the battlefield. this lack of trust has spread through the military as a whole and we're really seeing the pentagon going in this downward spiral where the troops are seeing these double standards. these two tiered justice systems and just as in with the covid mandate implementation some lawlessness. >> brian: you saw about 8400 service members were discharged. now they said, amber, if you want to come back, we will take you back. what do those officers for the most part are saying no thank you. >> well, there has been some clarification on the "we'll take you back" comment. it's more of complying with the ndaa that was passed that the department of defense had to send letters that said here's the steps can you take to correct your record. so it wasn't necessarily a welcome letter to come back in. and, in all honesty, the department of defense doesn't want them back. because these are the people who will stand on principle.

they decided that the order was unlawful and they stood up to it instead of, you know, saying i'm just going to tote line and comply with an unlawful order. >> brian: people watching this we watched this ship disabled because of covid-19. could be used as a weapon on in closed environments like that and that in the past the recent past getting small pox vaccines before persian gulf war. how do you feel about people who point to those situations? >> we are a law of nations. and it sill legal to force or order a service member to take an emergency use authorization vaccine only the president of the united states can do that. he did not. secretary austin ordered commanders to order their troops take approved vaccine which they did not have on hand. that is the issue and the lawlessness issue comes up. so, one is legal. one is not.

of course, when something is fda approved. then the game changes people who want more information and read the full letter, please check out military accountability.com where you can read the full letter, see the signatories and also have a petition that's live where the american people can support our cause and hold these leaders at the pentagon held accountable. >> brian: general heading the defense department you would think the lives you lead and sacrifices you make but he doesn't. >> exactly. >> brian: left didn't agree with the president this one just signs on. am enter, thank you very much. your book. >> thank you appreciate it. >> brian: i will be live on stage and streamed on fox nation, co-produced and marketed with them on the 21st. 2:00 in the afternoon in juliet, illinois. then going right to new hampshire, it looks like. so right from there. i hope everyone joins me just go to brian kilmeade.com and v.i.p. opportunities and do what everyone else does. get there earlier and talk about what is happening in the world.

[laughter] >> rachel,. >> i'm okay. i'm okay. >> steve: hilarious. remember that episode? so the question is we have played that because the question is when do you take you down your christmas lights because there is a tradition in colorado we have never heard of that apparently they leave the lights up through the national stock show. national western stock show. and the lights in colorado they have been doing it since the 1920s. and they leave them on to welcome visitors. so they take the lights down after january 21st.

although i know a lot of people in my household we wait until the epiphany, little christmas, which this year is january 6th. >> ainsley: right. that happens all over colorado. even if you don't live in denver which i think is great tradition it. also allows you, you do all that work to put all those lights up. now you get to enjoy it an extra month. >> lawrence: i think after january they have got to come down. i'm all for putting them up early. you should be able to put them up early. >> steve: halloween? >> lawrence: no, no, november. some people wait. >> ainsley: right before thanksgiving. >> lawrence: after thanksgiving they start putting them up. november hits. after halloween is gone you should be able. >> ainsley: once february hits you are decorating for valentine. >> lawrence: a little trashy after that. >> brian: right now if dawn is watching, i think she should take down the tree now. [laughter] >> brian: by the way it's going to snow this weekend.

>> ainsley: come take down mine, too? >> brian: she would do. this the tree is dead. weave understand the tree is dead. >> steve: nobody watered it. >> brian: the whole thing is were you smart enough to put the tree bag underneath so that's it. and i think we did it this time. i don't believe that anybody watered it. >> ainsley: did i not know you could do that put the whole thing out. >> brian: we need it out for the garbage tomorrow. someone has to make a decision. >> lawrence: who is going to put it out there. >> brian: i'm going to get home around 4:00 or 5:00. i would not be surprised if she surprised me and took all out. >> ainsley: sorry i forgot to take the tree out. please take the tree out and go shovel the snow that's coming. >> brian: it's got to be done today. >> lawrence: i wrote a book about the american man and how we are supposed to do -- maybe i need the american woman book now. >> ainsley: it needs to be titled dawn. >> lawrence: exactly. >> steve: i remember the last time i put lights actually on my house i put them up. and kathy read about somebody

who fell off a ladder and a disaster. and then she said you know what? after christmas, it's too icy. and then if february, it was still too cold and icy. i was -- we had the lights up. we were trashy according to you, but i told the neighbors those are lent lights. how do you like my lent lights. i was the only one with lent lights. >> ainsley: one year my parents did leave them on the bushes outside year around no lie. it was like one rolled into another and you are like, you know what? just keep them up. >> steve: my neighbor. >> ainsley: we were trashy. >> steve: all year. >> brian: going to be on a ladder, have your neighbors hold a net underneath you. >> ainsley: okay. be very careful. >> steve: very dangerous. >> ainsley: we are doing some of these talking points and want you to weigh in because we want you to be a part of this. send us your thoughts, your photos, your displays of all your christmas lights at friends@foxnews.com. we'll talk about them later in the show. >> steve: that's right,

mrs. doocy, send the lent lights. in let me show them. speaking of christmas and winter time, the first major snow storm of 2024 is forecast to slam the northeast this weekend and it could bring the first significant snowfall in something like 700 days from washington up through new york and filly and baltimore, going without an inch of snow since 2022 so how much are we going to get adam klotz out on the streets. >> adam: i'm upstairs. >> steve: because it's cold, currently 32 degrees. you are indoors. >> adam: i will be out there with snow. key word if we even see snow. depends on where you are. we are going to be talking about a system saturday into sunday. we got days to look into. this this is what this could pan out to be nationally. weather system sweeping across the southeast bringing a lot of heavy rain. you do notice off towards the west all of this energy is going

to produce a whole lot of snow for some of the mountain states. and then as it runs up into new england, the mid-atlantic, is when you start to see some of these questions. there is going to be a line where a little bit of rain on one side. snow on the other side. here is the future forecast model. think of through the day on saturday into sunday. that is when this snow or rain or freezing rain is going to be coming down. ultimately leave with you this graphic. it gives you an idea of where you are going to see maybe most snow or the least snow. everything here in this lighter shade of blue, that is a light snow. we are currently looking at, again, the moderates kind of like that tarheel blue. that is stretching there a little bit inland along the i-95 corridor philadelphia, new york, up towards boston, including places like d.c. that's the big question mark. we're currently looking at light snow. but, again, we will have a better idea of this in the next couple of days. those are the weather headlines. brian, tossing it over to you. >> not looking forward to it. it's been a great 700 days. i have enjoyed it. meanwhile if your new year's

resolution revolved around getting healthier and eating better choosing the right diet plan will be key. >> ainsley: you might have never heard some of these plans that we talked about. some of the best plans out there. >> lawrence: joining us with three of these plans is dine hendrix. tell us what makes all of these so flex tarren. >> the dash diet and mind diet. the at the core of them except flextarian is a plant based concept. the first one is the mind diet which is a primarily focuses on brain health and reducing the risk for dementia and to maintain, you know, brain health. >> brian: everything here helps the mind? >> yeah. special like walnuts is one of the reasons i chose walnuts it's a brain food. if you have ever seen them it

they look like a little brain. i'm using california walnuts to make this dish which is really awesome. all brain and avocados. brain health. >> teach you how to get all three meals using these principles you have to count things and get calories first. flexible 10 foods you should eat and five foods you shouldn't as a chef trying to create healthy dishes. >> brian: i need the brain power. >> ainsley: your name is brian and sometimes they spell it brain. you need the mind diet. >> omega 3 ala plant based fat similar to what's in salmon. the plant based concept. we got wholly avocado. this is walnut meat. we just put a little avocado on

here and this is wholly avocado like i said like real avocados. >> ainsley: brain health, dementia. is is more if you are worried about your heart and blood pressure. >> exactly. focused on heart health and lowering blood pressure. it's been around for a while and very successful diet with a lot of research behind it. >> ainsley: tell us about it? >> focusing on low sodium and like reducing the amount of saturated fat so there is not a lot of meat. really plant based. >> brian: do you have cheese there and look like lasagna bites. >> vegetable lasagna. offers more carbohydrates. they don't do a lot of carbohydrates that's helpful for diabetics. vegetable lasagna filled with mushrooms and focuses on nuts and seeds and fruits and stuff. and, again, this one focuses mostly on berries which i find interesting which when it comes to the fruit part. you want more berries than anything else in your diet.

>> lawrence: lastly we have mine which is the flexitarian which i needed that because there is no way i'm giving up meat. >> you tried this already? >> lawrence: no, i have read about it. >> i like this because it combines, it's the word itself flexitarian. flexible vegetarian sort of a vegetarian diet. you can incorporate meat and take you down in a few stages. first stage five days a week lean meat next city stage three days lean meat. not a lot of counting. again plant based but for people who eat everything, it's a better type of concept. and then here i made these prune bars which are so good. i don't know if you guys eat prunes but they are so healthy for you and these are california. >> they are good for digestion. these are california-grown prprunes from sun sweet so good and loaded have vitamins and

nutrients. >> sometimes children need help. >> got to watch if they eat too many. they are delicious. try one. >> brian: pick your diet, do your research and see whether a works for you. >> ainsley: thank you, diane. adorable texas toddler calming down her dog before mealtime with just two words. stay with us. ♪to q but with 3x more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes - vapes increase cravings - trapping you in an endless craving loop. nicorette reduces cravings until they're gone for good. we're here with chris counahan of our local leaffilter. so chris, tell us how leaffilter is different from every other gutter protection on the market. with leaffilters, patented filter technology,
