know what? you should try to do more to enjoy the time you have because you just don't know. so my goal this year is to have more experiences. maybe buy something nice for a friend or for myself. because, you know, usually i'm just not thinking in those terms. but now i'm just trying to be more in the moment. if that means investing a little more in fun and activities and experiences, i'm going to do more of that. >> katie: i love investing in fun and activities that sounds great. yellow, right? you only live once. >> joey: have more money in your pocket? >> kevin: joey knows me too well. a lot more optimism out there. i'm looking forward to it. i really am. >> katie: we want to hear what your resolutions are. email us what you are thinking about doing. holding yourself to it and be

disciplined. friends@foxnews.com. >> kevin: and ideas. >> katie: busy day in new york city, as nypd prepares for the huge crowd packing midtown manhattan this new year's eve. >> joey: live look big crystal ball times square earth cam. >> kevin: they are all over the globe. can you peek in and out of cities everywhere. including our very own chanley painter is there with a preview of the festivities and security preps for the big night. hey, chanley. >> chanley: hey, good morning, kevin, katy and joey. preparations are underway. hours away from 2025 and more than 1 million people are expected to crowd in to times square to see this behind me, this 12,000-pound new year's eve ball, make its iconic dissent 11:50 p.m. tonight. we have local state federal law enforcement out in full force. can you probably hear the

helicopters whicialg overhead right now as we take a look down at times square for us. but they have been precinct for days and weeks for this 120 year tradition. this year the city says they are taking extra precautions to keep visitors safe. saying there are no active threats. >> make sure each one of those who come here to visit and enjoy the ball drop will be safe. we have plain clothes teams, canine teams and officers on horseback and on helicopters and boats. the full complement of our police personnel will be here and pedestrians and vehicle closures will be in effect. >> chanley: at a presser yesterday the nypd commissioner pointed to the israeli-hamas war that has authorities on heightened threat here in new york city. they are also proactively addressing concerns around the transnational gangs like tren de aragua. they say they are using migrant shelters now in the city to recruit new members.

watch. >> is there anything you are doing with the tren de aragua presence you haven't had to deal with in past years? >> which threat again? >> tren de aragua, the venezuelan gang? >> yes. there has been a ton of work being done by our detective bureau, patrol bureau, counter-terrorism. this is an issue that we are dealing with not specific to new year's eve. >> and while security preparations are underway. there is lots of preparations for the fun happening. in fact, organizers say 3,000 pounds of confetti will fall from the sky for fun. some of it will include written messages people hitted them through virtual wishing well. 2600 crystals on the new year's eve ball. this is the switch, you guys. they won't let me touch it right now. maybe later in the show. i don't want it ruin new year's eve.

but i have collected 2025 2025 glasses for all of you have guys back in studio. >> don't touch that switch. >> katie: not yet. >> katie: tempting though. >> joey: she had thoughts. >> katie: i don't think you could u.s. pre. >> kevin: that is hilarious. too funny. >> joey: with the new year comes the new presidency. we were talking about it. november 5th, trump won. now is he making the rounds. so it was a big yearly for the g.o.p. of course, you had trump's win that many of us consider a landslide. congress of both houses were won by republicans. and now as some would put it, everybody just wants to be trump's friend. progressive mayor muriel bowser latest flocking to trump. she wants to meet with him. she did meet with him i guess to see how to make d.c. great again. thin this is her statement today president trump and i had a great meeting to discuss our

shared priorities for the president wants second term. president trump and i both want washington, d.c. to be the best, most beautiful city in the world. and we want the capitol city to reflect the strength of our nation. i'm optimistic that we will continue to find common ground with the president during his second term and we look forward to supporting a successful inauguration on january 20th. i guess it's kum ba yah in the capital city. >> katie: it's about time. washington has a lot of work to do to make it the most beautiful city in the world. it should be considering it's the capital of the united states of america. i think the mayor is a little bit concerned that president trump will work with the republican congress to revoke home rule and reestablish the governance of washington, d.c. away from the local city council and the mayor who have done a terrible job. >> kevin: can i say as someone who actually lives in washington, d.c. the city was really moving and grooving back in 2017, 2018. i think there was tons of

construction. lots of optimism. 2019 cody hit and then it was strange because it was shutting down churches and shutting down schools but leaving open bars and an odd time in 2020 all the protests it. seemed like the mayor herself was sort of encouraging this protest culture. >> katie: and riots. '. >> kevin: they burned things. i'm hopeful i'm sure she is hopeful as well. >> katie: we should all be help hopeful. d.c. should be a place where people can feel safe for their kids. >> joey: speaking of wanting to be trump's friend. i pulled that line from this clip we're going to show you, care cleeft. she said trump is going to deliver pho on policies. everybody wants to be his friend right now.

is he building a team of people from main street to wall street who want to make this country great again and help him deliver on the promises he made to the american people on the campaign trail. common sense solutions to fox bet super 6 the problems in their lives cutting taxes, ending inflation. deporting criminals. from our measure communities and using peace through strength to end the wars and the chaos that we have seen the harris-biden administration cause abroad. it's truly a unifying message. as president trump has repeatedly stated this country will be unified through success. >> joey: positive words. >> kevin: i'm not surprised and i think one of the things you are going to notice as she goes on in her career as a press secretary is she is incredibly disciplined and on message. literally every single time. i think as she gets more experienced she is going to continue to expand the idea of convincing and selling.

not just tell you what the policies are but bring those people not so sure about the second trump term. she is going to be bridging them along. her real focus is going to be as i want you as the american people to not just hear what we're doing but to understand and take part. >> katie: whether you have good policy outcomes and good facts makes it easier as a communicator to talk about those things. >> kevin: you nailed it. >> katie: when your policies are hurting people either personally or hurentding the economies of governments or causing damage, it's very difficult to explain. or like the previous white house outgoing trying to say that inflation is transitory. it's not really happening. what you are seeing with your own two eye is not happening it's hard to explain that away. if you have success and you can feel it's easier to talk about it. >> kevin: you nailed it. >> joey: karoline taking this role. there is multiple pictures of her sitting just off stage from one of the best press secretaries we have had in a while kayleigh which is now our colleague. but, if you look at trump's

press secretary. from sean spicer. there was such antagonistic relationship. everyone in the press pool coming in there trying to get gotcha. i wonder on this topic everyone wants to be trumpens friend. i wonder if that's actually going to change? they want access. they want to be able to sit down and ask a question. they want to be able to pull, you know, the president to the side and get some answers in this duration they have had zero opportunity. >> he. >> katie: he didn't do the end of the year press conference. didn't answer questions. hiding from reporters. they have very frustrated with the way they handled a number of transparency issues. trump during first term was talking to the press every single day. sometimes multiple times a day he really was. here's what i mean. basically what we are probably going to see a lot more of is

people just trying to get to the meat and potatoes of what is happening. can you interrogate a press secretary fairly without trying to make yourself the story. there are a lot of people -- and, listen, i was covering the trump white house during that era. and i think we can all name some names of people who really wanted their gotcha moment. people holding the microphone at press conferences when they were supposed to let it go. i won't mention any names. >> katie: we don't mention the names unless they want us. to say. >> kevin: i think hopefully, based on what i have seen in the freshmapressroom of late. we can only hope for the best. especially when i think back to what sarah huckabee sanders endured just sort of the vitriol, i think that's a change that we'll probably not have to see again. >> katie: the press has a big credibility problem. >> kevin: huge. >> katie: the way they covered the biden administration, especially in the last year when they got exposed for not asking the right questions. attacking fellow reporters for

asking about cognitive decline, where the president is, what his schedule is. so they have a lot of making up to do when it comes to reporting fairly to the american people as well. >> joey: let's see it. i know there will be other entities we haven't seen before. peter doocy. >> katie: he will be there as well as jacqui. >> joey: we covered and d.c. politics. we know there are a lot more of you throughout the country. with the new year come new state laws go into effect across the country starting in january. let's take a look at this list. so new york city as we just mentioned they have got congestion pricing. i was asking the producers earlier living here what that means. literally tax you go from one end of manhattan to the other. amazing. the governor suspended them until after the election and after january. so now they are going to go into effect. we also have california has new laws cracking down on retail theft. it's kind of odd that gavin newsom wants to be the hard on crime guy now. this one is controversial. florida saying there is no going

to be no social media for kids under 14. interesting to see how that is implemented. and then this one. i was asking the co-hosts here what this means. they banned junk fees in minnesota. and then one last one there, there is 21 states that are raising the minimum wage. and so those are some interesting laws. what i love about this guys, this federal system we have, we have 50 -- arguably 51, 52, if you look at some of the commonwealths. we have more than 50 places legislature a governing body can put something into effect and the rest of the country. >> katie: canada. >> kevin: i knew you were going to say that. bring in at least abort. alberta.21 different states have incredible cost of living circumstances where they need to raise the minimum wage, you can do it because it's not a one-size-fits-all.

if i live in rural georgia, i shouldn't have to pay some kid $25 an hour in minimum wage. but if i live in california, maybe 17 or 18 or $20 an hour makes sense. indicate interesting to watch how this plays out in different states. people are leaving that state in droves. number one state people are end aring u hauls. in new york people are talking about how they don't want to come into the city because they have to pay congestion prices. good laws and bad laws going into effect 2025. the states are always great experiment. >> kevin: 100 percent. >> katie: we will watch that, indeed. >> kevin: continue to remember the life and legacy of the 3 # president of the united states jimmy carter. >> joey: dates and funeral arrangements being set as the longest living president in our country's history. >> katie: steve harrigan is outside live the carter center in atlanta. >> steve: this will all get started on saturday. that's when pro-technologic take

remains from georgia through plains. boyhood home farm owned by his father. pause there before heading onto the capitol in georgia. and back to the carter center where the body will lie in repose for three days giving people a chance. >> anybody who doesn't know who jimmy carter is, now is a good opportunity for families to sit down and talk about some of that and what did he for georgia and the plains and agriculture and our industry here and our country. >> steve: from georgia on tuesday, the remains will be flown to washington in preparation for a state funeral on thursday. president biden will give the eulogy at that funeral. he has ordered all federal agencies to be closed as part of a national day of mourning.

after that, amp the six days will be flown back to plains georgia for a private family burial. guys, back to you. >> kevin: steve, thank you so much. we appreciate that this is such a big story for some americans while his presidency had its ups and downs and more downs than up. he did a good job. >> katie: married to his wife for 77 years cef amazing. >> >> katie: incredible. >> joey: if you are from the state of georgia more affection for jimmy carter. more honest and earnest individual in publics for better or worse perhaps. >> kevin: did you ever go to plains by the way? >> i lived down south in atlanta. and there is in gas station that's been there forever.

sell sausage biscuits in the morning near gay, georgia. jimmy carter use dod have those biscuits flown to the white house or at least that's what i'm told. >> kevin: wow. >> joey: start selling them at 6:00. if you get in line 8:30 on they're out. skeet shooting on the weekends and sold out. >> katie: got to get there early. >> kevin: cef segment idea get those biscuits. >> joey: i was thinking about that today. in honor of jimmy carter need to get those sausage biscuits. >> kevin: south korean officials investigating 100 boeing aircraft operating around the country after the fiery plane crash that killed 179 people over the weekend. officials are said to be looking at the maintenance history of the engine, the landing gear and operations records of models similar to the aircraft that went down. two flight attendants only survivors are both in hospitals. one of them, in fact, is now awake and said to be able to

communicate. that's remarkable. speaking of remarkable. check out this video from lax. two planes coming here feet away from colliding on the runway as one of them was taking off. the smaller aircraft was a charter flight that happened to be carrying the gonzaga men's basketball team. larger plane atlanta bound delta flight traveling upwards of 150 miles per hour at the time. the faa is looking to see how this may have happened although delta says it's unaware of any ongoing investigation. wow. the u.s. treasury department says it's been hacked in a major breach by chinese state sponsored actors, access was reportedly gained to treasury's work stations and u.n. -- make that unclassified documents through a security key. officials say they learned the breach on december the 8th. fox business obtaining a letter from to leadership on the senate banking committee.

big 12. missouri went from big 12 to the sec. >> katie: shop around. >> joey: all right the sec, big 10 or something else. >> kevin: going to be two conferences. >> joey: bulldogs have to play in a day or. so we will seal how that goes. preparing for the biggest night of the year what does it look like with the risk of violent migrant gangs higher than ever? the threat to blue cities up next.

have at love things to do. he recognize what is we need right now. i think my colleagues recognize this as well is a proven fighter and a true maga conservative. but, also, someone who can work with every single member of our very diverse house g.o.p. so we can get president trump's priorities over the line. that's what is ahead of us. >> madeleine: elon musk is joining trump too backing johnson after leading the effort to sink a bipartisan bill that johnson had hammered out to keep the government early open earlier this month. johnson can still have a tough road ahead on friday because he can only afford one republican defection of all 434 house members vote and thomas massie who so far has been the only house g.o.p. member to say he has definitely not voted for johnson hasn't changed his position. one g.o.p. congressman, josh is making it clear is he supporting johnson adding that any report suggesting otherwise, is dead wrong. notably, some of the other holdouts like victoria schwartz and tim burchett remain

but it's kind of this larger issue of how the city has handled illegal immigrants that have come to the city. is this something that we should look at and say this is a really big threat for tonight's celebrations or is it something that is here all the time? >> i would say the latter. this is something the city has been dealing with now a couple of years. specific to new year's eve, i don't think it is something that anybody who is coming to the event really needs to have on the agenda. there are other things to worry about, watch yourself relative to pickpockets and things like that. once you get into a pen in times square you are not going to leave. if you do you can't come back. in in in terms of tren de aragua threat. the pd is on this they have a lot of resources even as tight as it is to them relative to recruitment and retention they are out pretty far ahead tren de

aragua threat gang threat in general seen growing out of the migrant crisis tonight will be fine as far as that issue. >> joey: crime while illegal immigrants is so, i guess so acute in new york city felt so much. tells you where police officers are on it. unnamed sphere with two decades of experience told the "new york post" a lot more migrants assault cops than regular citizens. this comes as the lady we just saw speaking -- see if i can grab her name real quick. she deputy commissioner. she said that basically, these violent criminals are without consequence. they don't have consequence for attacking police officers. now police officers say yeah, they are going to get worse. what do you make of that? >> yeah. i mean, a lot of the migrants, particularly the gang bangers they come from some really rough terrain. remember that tren de aragua, specifically is, a prison gang. and a venezuelan prison gang is

a crew that is use to doing battle with the police in venezuela. they apparently exchanged gunfire with the police regularly. and they put out to their members here in america that specifically in new york that hey, it's okay to shoot at the police. because they shoot at us. that's just a culture that they are used to back home. and they have brought some of that here. and so, yeah, you know, the cops that are dealing with them are aware of the fact that lack with impunity. they don't have a lot to lose. they have been given everything they want here. we don't have any mechanism to get them out. they know that very adept to play the system. they know the system before they get here. yeah, there is a level of impunity and arrogance that is coming outs of these gangs, specifically this gang and until we wake up when tom homan comes in on 20 january and donald trump starts to do battle and it's going to a battle, legalistic battle with the sanctuary cities and states, this kind of thing is going to

go on because they are very aware of the fact that they have essentially a protected status. >> joey: actually, that was the sergeant's benevolence president who said that the person speaking for police officers and they're concerns there aren't any consequences for migrants amazing to have the nypd say we can't do our job. while we are not able to do our job. we are getting attacked. paul mauro, you know that thank you for continuing to cover it and come on about it. we appreciate your service to this city. >> joey: cause of the deadly south korean plane crash still unknown. what american investigators could now be looking for. he l, and says...

>> adam: the final day of '24 wellively warm on the eastern the country, 40's, 50's. to the west all of that blue and

purple cold air spreading across the country. people in the east central part of the country one more day to enjoy some of that warmth. it is coming with a big rainy system impacting the midwest right now. ultimately moving into new england which means that tonight for the new york city ball drop rain, rain, rain. 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. likely going to be seeing some showers. no big temperature changes. actually fairly mild for the time of year it is, 49, 50 degrees. in the next couple of weeks, i showed you cold air currently sitting there across the west. that's going to invade the reps of the country. really noah voiding it. looking at multiple rounds here of really cold air. everyone makes it a little bit colder and colder air comes in once again january 10th we're probably looking at temperatures in a lot of these areas well down below freezing. winters is coming just around the corner. those are the weather headlines, kevin, tosses it over to you. >> kevin: adam, thank you so much. the cause of the fiery south korean plane crash that killed 179 people still unknown. and we warn you, the video we're about to show you is graphic.

and now a team of american investigators and boeing officials are heading to help local authorities determine exactly what happened. as the country orders an emergency airline safety probe. former ntsb investigator adam diehl joins us now with more. it is devastating to see that happen. i was trying to figure out when we're dealing with an incredibly short porch there, i know came in hot. >> but there are a number of factors that could have played into that, ella. >> yes, indeed, kevin. first of all, thanks for having me. clearly, some of the evidence suggests that there was a bird strike. that is beyond question. some of the evidence suggests that while that was in the right engine, but some of the video suggests that the left engine may have been shut down, obviously accidentally, which would have forced the crew to make a very sudden and a quick landing. they did a fairly decent job of

putting the airplane on the ground. obviously they kept the flaps and gear up to ensure that they could make the runway but, of course, we know what really killed the people was that reinforced concrete barrier off the end of the runway there. and that was tragic that they hit that. that kind of structure shouldn't be there. >> kevin: 100 percent shouldn't be there. even though i was trying to figure out exactly how much runway he had there. did he come in at a pretty high rate. so i was obviously in watching the video. in fact, let me show you more of the video. trying to deconstruct what happened and as we have been watching, you see the plane drags across the runway. smoke is obviously visible. another shot here, allen where there is no landing gear visible and, of course, obviously as we get closer to the end of the runway, the catastrophe. what will investigators from the ntsb draw from videos like that and what might they share with their fellow investigators in south korea?

well, the ntsb has got a human performance group they will help the south koreans investigate whether or not the pilot could have or should have. it's easy to sit here in a chair and judge these guys but we'll have to carefully examine and, of course, this will come from the black boxes, the flight data recorder will tell you what happened and the voice recorder probably will tell us why. and particularly if and i stress the word if they shut down the good engine, the left engine, that will be a big part of the investigation. that happens occasionally. usually the pilots can recover. in this case, obviously they didn't have much time. the reason for the gear and flaps being up, kevin, they had to make sure they made it to the airport. and the way to do that is to keep the airplane as they say clean you got make it to the airport. they did a pretty good job of

touching down but unfortunately they were just too fast and to have that barrier right off the end of the runway. >> kevin: let me ask you real quickly, alan, i understand there are a pair of survivors both flight attendants. what might would he be able to glean from their experience? apparently one of them is even conscious at this point. >> they can be helpful. the black box also be more helpful because they have more details. they were in the back of the airplane, as you know. but they can certainly talk about what happened after the bird strike. there is no question that the birds hit the right engine. so they will provide some nuances to that clearly they didn't get to do the job that flight attendants normally do and that's to evacuate people because of the amount of trauma to the airframe on impact. >> kevin: got to figure out why that barrier was there in the first place as well. so many unanswered get.
