>> welcome in to the 7:00 a.m. hour on "fox & friends" weekend starting with this story, the first lawsuit filed against new orleans over the city's alleged failure to secure bourbon street and the lieutenant governor joining us momentarily to speak out about what he's calling an embarrassing lack of leadership from the city. >> plus, new york judge merchan forcing trump to be sentenced days before his return to the white house. rachel: and adam is taking the bulls by the horns today and professional bull riding taking over madison area garden. all the manly action. the second hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now.

>> good morning. we have bull riding in new york city. guy benson, rachel campos-duffy, charlie hurt in new york city. starting to lighten up out there. snow headed to a lot of the country here and we're toasty inside and so much news to get to, guys. rachel: we have a lot of news to get to. we're going to keep going back down and i love that bull riding has come to madison square garden in new york city and the guest he had was saying they start with the pledge -- with a player and then the pledge of allegiance. i saw that patriotism when i went to the ufc fight with will cain just before the holidays in november. was it november, early december. any case, i was surprised at the crowd at how patriotic they were and how excited they were to be this. i think you'll see the same thing here at this bull riding event. carley: i want to know where charlie: i want to know where they got all the dirt from. guy: they rented it. they rented the dirt from new

jersey. charlie: where do you get it from new jersey? when i think of all the clean dirt, i don't know that new jersey and new york are the places i'm going to go to rent dirt if i want -- rachel: do you need clean dirt at a bull riding event? come on, it's just dirt. charlie: you walk around here. there's good dirt and there's good -- good dirty dirt and bad dirty dirt and new york specializes in bad dirty dirt. guy: the rented dirt might be cleaner than the streets of manhattan? charlie: are you kidding me? would you eat anything that's grown between the sidewalks here in the city? rachel: no. charlie, you'll get a chance to ask the ceos later on. charlie: it'll be my first question. guy: dig in on that question, charlie? rachel: we'll dig into some news right now and we have a fox news alert for you. first of what could be many lawsuits will soon be filed against the city of new orleans over the failure to secure

bourbon street before the terror attack that left 14 dead and dozens wounded. charlie: the looming legal action comes as grieving families and the community hold vigils honoring the dead. guy: madison mad sca -- madisono is live for us. reporter: good morning, guys. one of the survivors of the terror attack will be filing the lawsuit on wednesday. the firm said because of the nopd and city's failure to implement basic safety precautions that would have protected citizens and visitors. now, the firm says all the people impacted by wednesday's attack deserve answers and says the act of terror was both foreseeable and preventable and evidence will prove that. the law firm said "because of negligence of nopd and city of new orleans, 14 innocent lives were lost, dozens more injured, and the courses of their lives

forever changed. survivors of this tragic event bearing the emotional and physical scars for the rest of their lives". the city was warned something like this could happen. for years several reports said french quarter crowds are a risk for mass casualty events. we know typical barriers that are in place here were not because of super-er bowl preparations and a 2020 security assessment specifically mentions the vehicle barriers and calls the french quarter "a fish tank of bad behavior". fbi is returning to jabbar's houston, texas, home and he set fire to his new orleans rental property to conceal evidence. bomb making materials were found in both locations, and the fbi says jabbar planned to detonate two ieds found inside his truck during the attack. now, meanwhile we're learning the identities of most people who were killed and some of the victims include a former

princeton football player a25-year-old new jersey resident and 18-year-old girl. we're expect ago vigil here tonight and meanwhile president joe biden and the first lady are expected to be here on monday. back to you guys. rachel: madison, thanks so much. heart breaking to see the photos and so many of them young people as well. but also just how this didn't need to happen. those barriers should have been there. they shouldn't have been removed in preparation for the super bowl. new year's eve is a big event, and so there's no better indication of how dysfunctional the city is and anne kirk patrick, the new orleans police superintendent and talking about she didn't know they were supposed to be there. >> yellow archers there along the sidewalk and that would be to be preventative if someone had or this particular terrorist

went around up on the sidewalk, that's what that would do. it would slow that down for anyone that thought they could reach our targets. actually we have them, i didn't know about them but we have them. guy: count the things wrong with that sound byte and describing the measures that would have been effective to stop an tay tack like 25 and not being used and in response, she admits she had no idea they were there and talking about the lawsuits coming down the pike and one of them already this coming week. i imagine that will probably be part of the lawsuit if they're trying to prove negligence, here's the police super-intent saying gosh, we had these protective measures and i didn't even know about them and golly, it's too bad they weren't up and in use on new year's eve. that is a tough, tough sound byte for the city of new

orleans. rachel: charlie, new orleanss is a huge tourist destination and a place that obviously needs top w enforcement and so many events there. what are they thinking putting this woman in charge? she does not in any way shape or form make you feel confident. is this dei hiring 124 what is happening here? charlie: no, she does not inspire any confidence whatsoever and i agree, i think, you know, a quote like that will be perfect in a lawsuit. the other thing that's really frustrating though right now, and we're doing what we should be doing, which is focusing on the people who made these terrible decisions and focusing on who committed these -- this atrocity, but of course at the same time you're talking about, you know, as you pointed out, the pictures of the victims, you're talking about these wonder -- you read the stories about them, these wonderful

people and because we're rightly focused on how to prevent from this ever happening again and holding people accountable, every single one of these people represents a life that and loved ones, and they were all there in new orleans for the best of reasons, they were there to celebrate and enjoy life and many of them very young people, 18, 20 years old at the beginning of their lives and obviously we don't spend as much time talking about them as we should at this time because we are still kind of uncovering all of the ridiculous incompetence that was laid bear by this. rachel: yeah, one of the saddest things i saw were parents that told their kids, listen, i was one of those kids my parents said don't go to this and multiple parents that had warned their child, i don't want you to go. don't go to this, to new year's eve at this place. they went and this happened. that's heart breaking.

charlie: and they're at that age where they're supposed to start doing what their parents say not to do. guy: end up in the drunk tank and not getting murdered by a terrorist. rachel: of course. as a parent imagine having given that miles an houring and having that happen. the whole thing is so tragic. meanwhile i spoke earlier with nicole parker, a former fbi special agent. asking her how she feels about the fbi leading this investigation because a lot of people have no confidence in them. here's what she had to say. >> this terror attack exposed the fbi's cr cracks and vulneras on a national level and i saw these for years and caused myself to walk away. this a-sack that got in front of the media and said definitively this was not a terrorist attack. that is so damaging for the fbi. it absolutely was a terrorist attack, and people are asking do you think this individual is

going to get fired? will she get disciplined? in my opinion, not only will she not be disciplined or fired under this current fbi leadership, she likely will get promoted. i want to believe that the fbi will be made great again, but it will take a major shift, cultural shift, hiring, you've got to hire people based on meritocracy, promotions based on meritocracy and nothing else and shift the priorities to protecting the american people. if your agenda is to push your special and political ageneral disa, you need removed. rachel: again, nicole parker left the fbi talking about the culture change that needs to happen. you look at how it's been run and what kash patel has to face. it's daunting. charlie: truly. so president elect trump is slamming judge merchan for segment the sentencing date in his -- setting the sentencing date in his new york case days before he's set to be sworn in

as the next president a. quote from him, this is a political witch hunt by biden and the doj and want to get a pound of flesh because every case has failed and it's a completely accurate statement. he's not wrong about that. you spoke earlier today to jonathan turley. guy: yeah, the law professor and fox news contributor and asking about this decision. first of all, the judge rejectioned team trump's request to vacate or throw out the conviction and that'll have the sentencing date on january 10*9, a week and a half before the inauguration and turley think this is is a pretty good outcome for trump. here's part of what turley said. >> president is right, it's lawfare and denounced by cnn legal analysts and by democratic senator who said it was total bs. this will be the final rallying call of lawfare, but he will not have that orange jump suit

moment that many people had wanted. he will walk out of that courtroom physically or virtually, and he will walk into the white house just ten days later. there's a suggestion in the order that if if the ft. appeals and sentencing is delayed, that merchan may leave this and suspend it for four years. that would be a perfectly horrific result and hay low this trial -- allow this trial judge in new york to hold a leash on the american president for four years. it would allow the media to continually portray him as a convicted person who's awaiting sentencing. rachel: some is f the analysis on the democrat side was this backfired and there was no appetite and people could see

through this was a hoax, and that's 24 part of why donald trump won the way he won. seeing the results of that election, guy, do you think that this is going to backfire? there's no appetite for this anywhere and people generally want donald trump to have a shot after this without any of this these really, i think, unfair persecution? >> i think the appetite is dried up for those that brought them. the point was preventing trump from win winning and he won. we try that had and it failed, let's move on. what's interesting about the conversation with turley is he said, look, obviously trump is upset. this is another opportunity to slam the biden donor judge in the case, but if as we expected there's going to be no punishment attached to the sentencing, this would allow trump to basically clear the decks on the issue, it's now over and done with. there's not not going to be jail time or anything else for trump and meanwhile it's resolved at

this stage, it doesn't hang over his presidency and trump's legal team can start the process of appealing this case off to the side on another track and turley said as he has many times on our air, he believes there's all sorts of opportunity to overturn the conviction on appeal on reversible error. rachel: just drop it. it's stupid. charlie: one final reminder of what a boob judge merchan and all the democrats pursuing the cases have been and probably helped hand the election to donald trump. rachel: i think so too. james carville saying he knows why they lost in 2024. he says we lost for one very simple reason, it was and it is and it always will be the economy, stymed. is that the right analysis? charlie: think invented the line talking about it's the economy, stupid, with george h.w. bush in 1992 when bill clinton was running and obviously james

carville and george stephanopoulos were running that campaign and looked like they've been lost in the wilderness for awhile since then. rachel: not just they lost the election because of the economy, the economy is result of progressive policies and a lot of people have been saying hey, this is the end of progressivism in terms of how to manage the economy and how they manage some of the foreign affairs. guy: and the policies, stupid. or might say it's the stupid policy. rachel: right. guy: the culture. there's a number of reasons why and it's interesting here because carville is basically admitting he got this wrong. he was sounding bullish about kamala harris and his parties chances and of course they lost. he had to remind himself of his own line about the economy. like if he had just followed james carville's truth and speech from 1992, he might have seen what was coming.

rachel: you're right, that's fascinating and it's the economy, stupid. also could being the candidate is stupid. here is kamala harris that kanten remember the prenyl of allegiance. watch this. >> please join me in pledging allegiance to our flag. [ pledge of allegiance ] rachel: at that moment, maybe that summed up her entire political career. charlie: it's so painful. it's so painful. i've never admired her a whole lot. she still -- it's painful. i don't know who else to say. guy: she's like blowing the pledge of allegiance immediately. like line two she gets wrong and she sort of stumbles and corrects herself and now this is

the thing it's funny to chuckle at, it's funnier because she lost like she's not going to be president. so we can sort of laugh without being like holy cow, that person could control the nukes. rachel: really dodged a bullet. charlie: never watched vip. is it that painful to watch? rachel: yes. her flubbing this line, that's one you'd like. guy: you'd love it, charlie. rachel: like on the treadmill, watch that. charlie: when i'm on the treadmill, i promise you that's where i have watched it is when i'm on the treadmill saying i've never watched it. rachel: when you're on the treadmill or on a car ride, that would be like a whole episode of like her flubbing it and all the political fallout of her flubbing the it's funny. guy: it's a cynical and accurate look at dc with shallow people returning around.

you'd love it. charlie: they can't make it absurd enough to stay ahead of the absurdity coming out of washington? guy: correct. rachel: there was an episode where i know they lift it had from sean's campaign. do you remember the lumberjack scene? the commercial and can't get it right. just for the record, sean was a lumberjack. if he throws an ax, it it hads the bullseye but it was funny. you'll love it and, yes, she is ultimately that character. what is it, selena -- guy: meyer. rachel: yes. meyer. charlie: headlines, house gop lawmakers meeting today for all day session to develop new legislative plans aimed at quickly addressing pressing issues like taxes and immigration. it comes after speaker mike johnson clinches reelection after congressman keith self and ralph norman switch conversations with president elect trump. trump cal cal calling it a win p

three years in a row, fell to second. and california, as always, ranked dead last for the move ins for the fifth year in a row. rachel: that's so sad, you guys. california, it is the most beautiful state. guy: social security gorgeous. rachel: it's so sad it's ranked last and that should be all that gavin newsom needs to know about his state. charlie: know how hard you have to work to destroy pair dice? got to really work hard toe do that. guy: stupid policies and california is like exhibit a on that front. rachel: no question. guy: coming up, new orleans especially lacking security measures that might have saved live in that terror attack on new years'. the state's lieutenant governor is speaking out on what he's calling an embarrassing lack of leadership from the city. that's next. ruri never thought she would live out her dream. then one day, she did. you were made to chase your passions.

>> actually we have them, i didn't know about them but we have them and we have been able to now [inaudible] guy: here to discuss that ask more is lieutenant governor of louisiana. mr. lieutenant governor, welcome to the show. let's get your response, and we're all grieving for what happened in your state and that fabulous city, and it's heart wrenching and outrageous this terrorist struck and maybe there were some preventative measures that were not deploy that had day on a major tourist event, and now we have the head of the police force in that city saying she didn't realize those tools even exited. what's your response to that? >> since i've been elected lieutenant governor, we've been fighting with the administration to make the french quarter safer and not till jeff landry put a state police troop in the french quarter we saw great progress to save the french quarter before this incident. and her lack of leadership from

the top on down to know those barricades were taken out with new year and the sugar bowl is unacceptable. guy: yeah, they were apparently upgrading security for the super bowl, which is fine and makes sense to do that, but then leaving that area filled with tourists full initial on such a huge dayew year's eve and new year's day and football game is a terrible fill yuri colins. there's been critics pointing this out now for a number of days and prompting this response. i want to read this to you from the mayor's office in new orleans quoting, "the city of new orleans not going to be distracted by outside commentary and welcomes everyone to join the positive efforts of the unified command partners". outside commentary, lieutenant governor, seems like they're poo pooing this or minimizing it. >> i've been working with her administration for eight years

to put a plan together to manage the quarter. she couldn't even give a garbage contract to get the quarter cleaned up before the sugar bowl and the city council had to give a emergency contract because she gave it to someone that wasn't in that business. for two years we've been trying to get the post around jackson square replaced. there's no protection to jackson square. put a video out yesterday, you can drive through that mall around jackson square by the st. louis cathedral without even stopping and a car can run right through there. it's absurd her lack of leadership while she travels the world and leaves this city unprotected. earn should be outrages. guy: quickly and in the months to come, the super bowl is coming and mardi gras like every year, are you confident by those major events that tourists and people should feel safe in the city of new orleans moving forward?

>> governor jeff landry like putting the police in the state quarter, i have no doubt he'll take charge and make it the safest city and safest super bowl ever. i have all the confidence in the governor and leading since elected to clean up the quarter and make it safe, and i think he'll take charge of this and make it happen. guy: mr. lieutenant governor, our hearts go out to everyone down in louisiana in that affected community. thank you so much for your time this morning. meanwhile, the biden administration forever marked by the chaotic withdraw from afghanistan and now we're learning one of the top advisers to president biden actually tried to step down because of that failure, but the president insist that had he stay on. we'll have that story next.

rachel: we're back with a fox weather alert. this is a live look at a small town in western pennsylvania near lake erie much the roads are coated with a relatively thin layer of lake effect snow, and this year-over-year's first major winter storm spanning more than 2,000 miles is sweeping across the central plains. let's turn now to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth for the fox weather forecast. rick, i've been hearing all about this winter storm. tell us what to expect. rick: yeah, big impacts for a lot of people and lake effect snow is going quite a bit and will continue for the next few days and take a look at maps, talking about this storm, it'll be our first real major winter storm with major impacts for a big swath of the country. this kind of cuts a west to east line there from places in kansas all the way towards washington dc and southern parts of new jersey and winter storm warnings in effect and winter storm watches and icing as well and that'll be a big problem because we'll have ice then on top of

that falls the snow and makes everything completely un-pastramiable. this also tomorrow is severe weather threat down across parts of the south and lower mississippi river valley level 3 out of 5 threat and that could go up and we had tornadoes last weekend and again for tomorrow. this is the southern side of the same some. you'll need to watch. this storm playing out and we have it starting with icing from kansas through missouri and it's a pretty slow moving storm. getting the weather and you'll have it for about 36 hours across the entire area and this is falling and some spots maybe 18-24 inches of snow just to the north of i-70 and just to the south of i-70 and watching for that ice storm as well. big impacts for a lot of people. charlie, back to you inside. charlie: thanks, rick. u.s. withdraw from afghanistan an infamous moment of the biden presidency leading to chaos in the death of 13 american service members. now we're learning that biden's national security adviser, jake

sullivan, reportedly offered to resign from the administration over the catastrophe, but biden insisted that he remain. joining us now is form policy expert re--- foreign policy expert rebeccah heinrichs. rebeccah, it's amazing to look back at that withdraw and the biden administration insisted it was the greatest withdraw and there was no problem and we find out it was so bad that jake sullivan offered to resign over it. >> well, it was a kansas city a catastropheobjectively and weg that jake sullivan is claiming he tried to resign and trying to rewrite history and manage his reputation on the way out. in the same interview, jake sullivan defended the decision and said it "freed up the united states to help ukraine when russia invaded ukraine". the precipitous withdraw and how

bad that was and that caused putin to decide he could invade ukraine and cause that had problem and caused a precipitous cascade of other foreign policy disasters we're trying to recover from still. charlie: i agree with you. that was the part of the story is that jumped out at me the most and reading the quote from jake sullivan. the choice was leave and it would not be easy or stay forever and leaving kabul free to deal with the united states and the russian invasion of ukraine in ways that might have been impact if we had stayed and our alliances are stronger and enemies are weaker. did we keep america out of war? yes. strengthen the engines of american economic and technological power? yes. so that is his rewriting of history there, but the other part of this is that -- they're pointing -- what he's doing is he's pointing to the kansas cite that was afghanistan -- afghanistan withdraw but then pointing to the other

catastrophe, which is ukraine saying that's our excuse for why the first thing went so badly. >> it's mauricely backwards and middle east on fire and iran attacks israel and dealing with iranian proxies throughout the middle east. largest land war in europe. russia calculated that the united states with joe biden at the helm was weak and remember, that was a nato mission in afghanistan. joe biden wouldn't even pick up the phone when boris johnson in the uk was trying to get ahold of him. our allies are not stronger, our adversaries are stronger and on the march. we have now had china underwriting russia's war in ukraine and it's a complete rewrite and really trying to push forward the wrong lessons that are dangerous for americans to learn. carley: let's not ever forget -- charlie: let's not ever forget that jake sullivan was the one

that boasted the middle east was quieter than it had been in 20 years and then eight dater later we had the terrorist attack inside israel. rebeccah, thank you for joining us. >> thanks, charlie. charlie: biden spending billions on far left climate agenda and president trump is getting ready to roll it all back. his plans and what it means for your energy bill. same. discover the power of wegovy®. with wegovy®, i lost 35 pounds. and some lost over 46 pounds. and i'm keeping the weight off. i'm reducing my risk. wegovy® is the only weight-management medicine proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack, or stroke in adults with known heart disease and obesity. don't use wegovy® with semaglutide or glp-1 medicines, or in children under 12. don't take if you or your family had mtc, men 2, or if allergic to it. tell your provider if you plan to have surgery or a procedure, are breastfeeding, pregnant, or plan to be.

administration has headache taken more action on climate change than any other administration. reducing greenhouse gas, expanding ev chargers and pushing for clean school busses and going off the grid. what should the top priorities be for the trump administration to roll back the costly climate agenda. we have mark morano head of the climatedepot.com. you were onto fantasize for the shortest lived federal job and two weeks to clean out the wasteful climate directives and policies. tell us what you would do in the two we weeks and how you would advise president trump to deal with all the waste and climate

directives. >> well, from the department of transportation, the department of energy, to the pentagon and in fact biden made every agency the climate agency and shortest lived job in federal history. go in for two weeks and shorter than some of trump's previous press secretaries and not getting into that. go in and literally defund and close all of the woke climate programs, particularly starting in places like the navy, or the penpentagon and department of ay and have the climate initiatives and the mission of the army and the navy adds one of their focuses as going after fighting climate change and by the way isn't a thing. there's no such thing as climate action or fighting climate change. even department of transportation and obama's department looking at failed car crashes going up to global warming. cut the funding and programs and fire the employees at the very least because it's hard to fire

but reassign them and i'd love to preside over that and shut all the nonsense down and most egregious examples and walk away from federal service because that's what needs to be done and they have to be shut immediately but even beyond that, rachel, so much of this is the narrative and recasting this entire global fight but the biggest of all, and this has to come from donald trump. he has to submit the un paris agreement, the climate pact, to the united states senate as a treaty and get the senate to reject it and treat it as a treaty and that gets us out of not only that agreement but the entire un climate process going back to 1992 when george .hw bush got us into the whole mess at rio earth summit in 1992 and wanted republicans to appear earth friendly and gets us involved in this un sustainable energy mess and time for donald trump 2.0 to reverse that 32-year-old mess that began, 33 years. rachel: no question. you want donald trump to set up

a sort of new climate committee that would include scientists who are skeptics of this so-called science. >> this is frustrating because trump 1.0, the first term, he brought in the premier expert on greenhouse gases, dr. will happenner and princeton and he was trump's science professor and set to do the first push back on un climate reports that began in 1990, by any government arnold the world, first pushback scientifically going to have several dozen of the world's top scientists and former un scientist and noble prize winning scientist and nasa scientists and harvard and yale scientists all prepared to go. donald trump green lit it, but his staff slow walked it till it was too late to do before the 2020 election. this time around if he does the climate committee and does red team blue team, it'll be the first ever by a government pushback of the un climate

report and the shot heard round the world and first time a narrative changer on climate change. no longer would the only narrative be we have ten years left till we die and need climate action and stop allowing gas-powered cars and this would change the whole narrative and help argentina, help eastern european countries all who were itching to join president trump when i call it a klexit, a climate exit. we have to do it similar to brexit but on climate. rachel: hopefully it'll put an end to all the child slaves in africa digging for cobalt for this ageneral dam it i just want a dishwasher that works and i want the slave labor in s chinao end and i want a dish wash their works and don't have to clean the dish before putting in the

dish washer and wash it twice. marc morano, great to have you. >> thank you, rachel. appreciate it. rachel: all right. guy benson is next -- first, we're going to this. know him from yellowstone and he's getting us into the cowboy mindset. yellowstone actor neil mcdunna and professional bull rider is here next. ♪

there are some feelings you can get with any sportsbook. ohhh! the highs! no, no, no. the no, no, noooos - oooooooo! the oh, oh, ohhhhs! now whatcha wanna do with this? but the feeling that, no matter what, you're taken care of. ohhh, i just earned a hotel suite! hee! you only get that here. at the sportsbook born in vegas, where they know how to treat you right. who you talking to jamie foxx? bonus bets. exclusive offers. real world rewards. betmgm. download and bet today.
