saw all along the east coast. power outages, 700,000 americans have power outages in their neighborhood. new york, pennsylvania, new jersey and michigan as that area of low pressure moves in toward the great lakes. there is the live radar. the rain component of the storm is over. we'll see snow on the backside and gusty winds in the afternoon and evening. wind gust in excess of 30 to 50 mile per hour for boston and nantucket and winds pick up this afternoon and into this evening and could potentially see more damage from this storm system as it exits this evening and one behind it affecting it is same area. there is the forecast today. say goodbye to this system here. potential for some snow across the midwest and the energy from the west will ramp up as we get

into friday, saturday and sunday and look at that trajectory of this storm system, similar to what we saw yesterday and last night. that is something to watch for. cold air moves in, that could set up a snow event next week. areas of low pressure continue to move in. point out getting into monday, that is ice across the south. that is potentially dangerous in toward the midsouth and maybe a snow event for the northeast. talking about the temperatures, coldest air has yet to arrive, saturday, sunday and monday with sub-zero wind chill. talking about iowa for the caucus, temperatures in negative 16 range. with wind chill in negative 30 range taking a look at daily wind chill on sunday negative 34

will continue into next week. bottom line, we have several storm systems along the same track potentially doing the same damage, including tornados getting into the weekend. best advice i can give, watch the local forecast and fox weather.comwill keep you updated. the new year has been active and we'll track it. >> carley: thank you. happening now, secretary of state antony blinken is meeting president of palestinian authority one day after meeting with israeli prime minister netanyahu and other leaders in the jewish state. >> todd: largest houthi attack on international shipping in the red sea we have seen so far. trey yingst live in israel. trey. >> trey: todd and carley, good morning. u.s. secretary of state antony blinken still in the region meeting with palestinian president abbas.

education of students and john grande joins me along with his la lawyer, john mcmcgrath. what stood out about this identity wheel? >> well, in a nutshell, back in 2020, i had to take mandatory training titled identity privilege. the teachers were to complete this exercise. while doing the exercise, i recognized this was part of critical race theory. after the exercise, we were to give our opinion how it made us engage in that activity. i was asked my opinion and i gave it professionally. i was then told i was being investigated for employee misconduct. i ended up in kangaroo court and received written reprimand placed in my file for the first

time in my lengthy career and i had to take a sensitivity class and i filed suit in u.s. district court to hold hartford school officials accountable for infringe og my first amendment right to free speech. >> todd: what did you tell them? >> well, during the exercise, we had to answer a series of questions and they were under heading categories like race, gender, sexual preference. if you answered yes, you would be considered to have privilege. i recognize these were gaslighting questions and worded in a way where guys like me would answer yes to them and therefore, i am loaded with privilege. when asked how it made us feel, i opened up, i was man bashed

and white shamed. apparently my opinion did not fit the narrative hartford school officials were pushing on the teachers, i was targeted and punished. >> todd: teachers union is supposed to represent teachers in situations like this, what was their response when you went to them? >> the teachers union hung john out to dry when he went to them to ask to help with this situation and protect his rights, they said no and there is a decision that says they screwed up on that and they should have helped him. that is why he had to come to us and file this lawsuit to do what the teachers union didn't do, protect his first amendment right. first amendment is there to protect school officials for basically having an opinion they did not agree with. we are looking forward to

pressing those issues for him in court. >> todd: hartford public school sent a statement when we reached out for one. it remains, school district, committed to creating safe spaces and learning regardless of staff background or ideology. we seek the right for all to seek representation, we disagree with said lawsuit, we will not issue further comment. john, your comment to that order specifically where it says regardless of staff background. sgls >> my certificate reads physical education, not hatred. i don't see kids' color, i see them as my kids, they don't see
