[laughter] you're not going to to want to to miss if any of iowa chel's moves -- rachel: no, those are going to be charlie's moves. [laughter] charlie: the final hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now. ♪ ♪ saturday night, my baby by my side ♪ rachel: good morning, everybody. it's 9:00 here in new york city. our producers listened to you

are request for more country music since it's the day of the big event at madison square garden, all of the bull riding. and so we're excited about that. by the way, i talk a lot, but first, welcome. charlie: great to see you. rachel: so good to be on the couch with both of you. we saw the bull riding, adam has been on, we talk a lot -- the or i should say i talk about young people prioritizing their love life are. if it occurred to to me if you were single in new york city and you wanted to be a manly man or you were a guy and you were single and you wanted to be a patriot cowboy, americana-loving girl, maybe this might be the place to go. what do you guys think? charlie: rachel the matchmaker. rachel: always. charlie: you do everything already, but then on top of that, match if make the entire city. rachel: yeah. listen, if you're thinking about where to meet minute in this town -- guy kentucky right.

so if you, let's say, moved here from somewhere el in the country and you're not really sure that you're meeting a lot of people who align with your values from back home, maybe, you know, the professional bull riding event at madison square garden might attract a different stripe of new yorker, i think, is what you're saying. rachel: yes. i say that also about our navy seal, you know, the race they do across the hudson s and then they go all the way -- that's another good place for women to go meet some manly men. there's just a few little tips. as neil mcdonough said, america loves americana, so what better place to go. guy: did i hear we're doing some dance exercise later this hour? rachel: we're doing some zumba. he's giving up the treadmill. [laughter] guy: he's speechless. charlie: truly speechless. [laughter] i know what a roomba is, i don't know what zumba is. rachel: let's see if charlie can

make zumba madly. charlie: i brought my shoes, and there's something on the bottom -- rachel: he's got his blank kickers -- charlie: these are not cowboys, these are red wings. it's a minor distinction. guy: all right. a fox news alert here. the first of what could be multiple lawsuits soon to be filed against the city of new orleans, this over the failure the secure bourbon street before that terror attack the on new year's that left 14 innocent people dead and dozens more wounded. rachel: the looming legal action comes as grieving families and the community hold vigils honoring the dead. charlie: a madison scarpino is live with more. madison. >> reporter: the local law firm filing the suit is representing one of the survivors of this attack, it and says that the new orleans police department and the city failed to put basic safety precautions in place that may have prevented this tragedy.

the typical -- in place here in the french quarter were not due to the super bowl preparations. the police chief said she did not even know about the barriers, and we're learning more about the 14 innocent people who were killed by sam sign din jabbar's attack. an 18-year-old girl, a former princeton football place, a 27-year-old single mother and a 25-year-old man from new jersey just to name a few of them. and just days after the attack, bourbon street is now fully reopened, but people are still trying to process what happened. fox spoke with one man who is visiting new orleans. his daughter got here before her dad and was in the french quarter just hours before the attack. listen. >> we were freaking out. and when you're nine hours away, it's -- you feel helpless. is so we felt helpless and just

tried to the call, call, call and call and then realized that everybody was trying to call their kids. so we finally got ahold of her. she was safe. they took a picture two hours before the accident in the same exact spot. so thank god they had a cur future. curfew. >> reporter: we're expecting several vigils to be held today, one right here at 7 p.m. local time tonight, and and then we now know that president joe biden and the first lady are expected to be here on monday to grieve with survivors and families of those who were killed or injured. i'll send it back to you guys. rachel: madison, thank you so much for this report. really appreciate it. just heartbreaking stories. i mean, can you imagine the terror that family had while one mother is not going to be able to reach her child after a because her daughter passed away. fox noticias, the spanish language show that i do, interviewed the mother of 27-year-old nicole.

this is marta perez who is talking about what happened and the aftermath of this, of her daughter passing away and the fact that she was only 27-year-old years old -- 27 years old and had a child. [speaking spanish] if rachel: march that perez saying my heart is broken in a thousand pieces. t her and so many other families just going through the sock show. it's just so awful. guy: it's hard to watch but it's

the reality. this is an evil ideology that's responsible. this is violent jihad. i think we have to remember what caused this otherwise senseless attack. and we talk about it in this setting as a news event, you know, 14 shattered, their families. and it's just awful. rachel: by the way, you can catch that full interview on fox noticias.fox. charlie: and the unfortunate aspect of it in terms of what we're trying to do is the stories about each of those 14 individuals can gets sort of drowned out because public officials in new orleans have to be held accountable for the poor planning, the bad with decisions that went into, into allowing this happen and allowing these 14 lives to be lost in the first place. we have tape of ann kirkpatrick who's the new orleans police

superintendent explaining how she didn't even know they had barriers that might have prevented this. >> we have archers that are along the sidewalk and that would be to be preventive if someone had or if this particular terrorist went around up on the sidewalk, that's what that would do, okay? it would slow that down for anyone who thought that they could breach our targets. >> [inaudible] >> actually, we have them. i didn't know about them, but we have them. rachel: i'm listening the that interview, and i barely trust that woman, ann kirkpatrick, the police superintendent, to be a crossing guard, let alone to run a city this important that has so many tourists and keep people's lives safe. this is unbelievable, that somebody this incompetent has this job. charlie: and she seems really

nonchalant about it. guy: yeah, it almost felt like, if you didn't see the tail end of it, she had just been it would about these things, and she was i trying to remember what she had been briefed on about these tools. that's the thing. she's describing how wonderful they could have been, but they weren't in use. and then a quick follow-up question, she's like, oh, well, i didn't even know we had them. that is not a great look. and, look, it is the impossible for authorities at any level to stop every tragedy or any atrocity from happening. rachel: of course. guy: someone who is bent on destruction is going to do some of that destruction, but you can take measures and steps to prevent some of the loss of life at least, and they had those pieces in place and then didn't use them. and, apparently, the top cop in the city didn't even know about their existence. rachel: we just had an event in germany if christmas, same kind of thing, so it's the not like big cities -- giew guy happened in new york city a few years ago. rachel: exactly.

meanwhile, gop lawmakers are meeting opinion for an all-day session to develop legislative planses as president-elect trump cheers on mike johnson for winning that speakership election on the first ballot to, calling it the first win for the republican party. i guess who was the one that interviewed kevin mccarthy? guy: that was me. rachel: how was that interview? guy: it was good. he said he wasn't that surprised that it was all wrapped up in one round. he nose about multiple rounds of ballots. [laughter] i asked the speaker about the path forward and what he expects to see, and he really opened by talking about trump's role in getting this first hurdle clears. here's part of that discussion. watch. >> first to speaker johnson, well done. i think having such a big election and real congratulations to president trump. i was with him last night. he made the difference here. he united a conference that is tough to keep together. now, we won across the country, but congress, the majority slunk a little.

and it's even going to get smaller by two more as they go to the administration. so nobody can have a disagreement if we want to get this agenda through, and the american people have spoke loud and clear. and i think president trump is the unifier. because you have a house and senate and presidency, the reconciliation is very important with that tax policy, with immigration and others. so don't have a few members fighting. you've got to find that what unifies people is keeping the promise. if you want to keep this majority, if you want to govern in the right direction, focus on the policy which they did yesterday focusing with the president bringing them together. charlie: and one thing that i think unifies all the republicans is a the they have a giant agenda that they need to get on right away. and one of the things so to roll back some of this insane, lewd i crouse democrat climate change -- ludicrous climate change insanity. the perfect example is in the state of michigan they are going the bulldoze 400 acres of forest

land to put up cheap plastic pollution solar panels that will occasioningly -- and if you've ever lived in michigan, especially around detroit -- occasionally produce some electricity. michigan live explaining this, evidence from both harvard university and chinese researchers shows the loss of car docks do-gobbling forests -- carbon dioxide-gobbling forests resulted in a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. so these are people who believe in the whole climate agenda, making the very valid point that if you cut down a forest to put up a bunch of plastic crap from china which, by the way, can you imagine? it's not recyclable. it's all going to wind up in landfills. you know, and i understand the land owners who get into situations where they get lured

because of government subsidies into putting this stuff up. but do you really think that that landowner isn't going to wind up footing the bill for when it comes time the scrap this stuff? rachel: it's also such an eye sore is. i feel the same way, by the way, about the windmills that they have offshore that, by the way, are killing our whales -- charlie: and birds. rachel: they're executing birds all over, they're getting decapitate thed -- charlie: they're bald eagle magnets. rachel: yes, it's atrocious. isn't there something also about the beauty of our landscape being destroyed by this? that is a value this andof itself. in europe they are rethinking this. now, they got into this whole climate thing maybe even, you know, more than we did initially, and they're now going, what have we done to our landscape, and they're or starting to reverse sol -- some these policies that are destroying the beauty of their country. guy: i would just have loved to be a fly on the wall at planning

meeting. we've got a bunch of lefties running michigan, right? it's a democrat-run state. here's the plan, gang. for the environment we're going to cut down a whole forest. and no one said maybe not, hey, maybe we should keep the trees and lose, like, these solar panels, we can put them somewhere else? i guess that -- charlie: [inaudible] guy: cutting down trees for environmental justice? what a? rachel:s this is what has happened to this party. the environmental movement was supposedly a left, you know, progressive movement. charlie: supposedly. rachel: they're smoking with save the whales, save the trees. they don't care about the whales or the trees. what they care about is the grift. i guarantee democrat donors are making a lot of money -- the. guy: there's money here. rachel: i talked the mark mark moran mow if earlier. he talked about this ability that donald trump has with this mandate to basically shut down a lot of these climate policies

that are destroying our country. listen. >> there's no such thing as climate action or fighting climate change. even the department of transportation and obama's department they had studies looking at how fate aal car crashes went up to global warming. you have to cut the funding, cut the programs, fire the pros at the very least -- employees. reassign them. i would love to preside over that. shut all this nonsense down, the most egregious examples, and then walk away from federal service. they have to be shut immediately. rachel: yeah. that's going to be really interesting. he also said his fantasy thing for the administration would be if they set up a panel of scientists and include climate skeptics because that is part of their thing. the scientists on climate change, they've thrown out -- they've been thrown out of their professionings -- profession professions, anyone who challenges science. that might be another thing the donald trump can do.

guy: major agenda to come. let's turn to some headlines starting with this fox news alert. vegas police now revealing that special forces officer or former soldier, i should say, matthew livelsberger, claimed the cyber truck bombing in las vegas was meant to cleanse his mind, and that's a quote, of brother brothers he lost. notes uncovered by investigators also showed the suspect railed against weak and feckless leadership. former green beret tim kennedy knew the suspect who is now deceased in this case, and he joined us earlier. >> scary letters the come from somebody who was so talented many so many different things. you know, the selection process for green berets is arduous, and they're very, very particular. very rarely do you see -- of course there's going to be bad apples, but this doesn't seem like a bad apple, in this seems like somebody that was hurt or broken. phi guy there's a lot disturbing and baffling about this case. officials working to confirm the

legitimacy of an e-mail allegedly written by the suspect where he claims the feds were working with china to develop and deploy mysterious high-tech drones reported over the northeast last month. so that's something at least that was claimed, and we're working on that, to see if that was actually written by him. and the justice department is urging the supreme court to squash president-elect trump's request with to delay the law that's expected the ban tiktok. that's coming up in a matter of days. this comes after trump filed a legal brief arguing that he should have time after taking office to pursue a political resolution to the issue. if tiktok set to be banned in the united states january the 19th, the day before the inauguration, unless the platform's owner divests tear u.s. assets -- their u.s. assets. the high court will hear oral arguments january 10th. and to college football, minnesota topping virginia tech in the duke's mayo bowl. final score, 24-10. big ten victory there.

but this bowl season a lot of the attention is on the mascots of the bowls. for example, in this one the postgame featured a masked singer-style moment with flavor flav revealed as the mascot named tubby, even doing the honor to, drenching minnesota's head coach, p.j. fleck, with a 5-gallon tub of mayonnaise. why not? >> first coach in duke's mayo history to do it with no hat. he is so nest. [cheers and applause] so nervous. [cheers and applause] >> oh, no. [laughter] guy: just the look of horror. rachel: it's just so gross. guy: i think it's fun. you get the pop tart bowl and some of that craziness afterwards. those are your headlines. charlie: i like mayo with, but i don't like it that much. guy: that's a lot of mayo. rachel: recent deadly attacks

highlight the importance of quickly confirming president trump's national security team. >> getting president trump's cabinet in is so important. this is a moment in transition of vulnerability. there are when migraine strikes... do you question the tradeoffs of treating? ubrelvy is another option. it works fast, and most have migraine pain relief within two hours. you can treat it anytime, anywhere. tell your doctor all medicines you take. don't take... ...with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors.

rick: welcome back to the "fox & friends." very cold air settling in across the country and a big winter storm we're dealing with, the first really all winter long. take a look at the map, it's -8 in fargo. we've got the storm that's now beginning to get its act together the across parts of the northern rockies. by this afternoon we start to see the ice across parts of kansas and missouri, and then the snow right after that. winter storm advisories, we should storm warnings and watches -- winter storm warnings and watches across the central stripe of the country. and for tomorrow the southern side is going to bring severe weather as well. tornado threat goes up tomorrow the very similar the what we had a week ago. take a look at this, an ice storm is one of the elements of this, it will be ice first, then snow on top of that. makes impassable driving conditions especially across interstate 70, about a 36-hour storm for everybody here. send it to you inside. rachel: looks like my kids might

get a snow day on monday? rick: you're probably a little far north. just south of you -- rachel: okay. i'm going to give the bad news to them. [laughter] republicans now demanding swift confirmations for president-elect trump's national security team following the devastation in new orleans and las vegas on new year's day. >> president trump is going to project, because he is a leader of strength. the narrative that we project on day one will be just as important, and that's having our people in place. >> the world wants change, america wants change, and we need to confirm president trump's cabinet picks and director picks as soon as possible. >> the fbi feeds to do a much better job establishing the kind of culture from the top. that's what president trump and pam bondi and kash patel will do once they take the mel helm. rachel: senior adviser to president-elect trump jason miller joins us now. jason, welcome and happy new year. how have the tragic event events

of new year's eve affected maybe the calculus in the senate for confirming especially these national security nominees? >> i think it heightens the importance of getting these picks confirmed asap. not only do we have national security positions, we have law enforcement positions whether that be attorney general or kash patel for fbi, but also we have critical infrastructure as well. think about the disasters we've had on the transportation front in recent years during the biden administration. we need to not only put in president trump's people so we can implement this change, but we need to restore confidence in our basic levels of government whether that's national security, law enforcement or critical infrastructure. we cannot have any more lapses. president trump has picked some fantastic people, and the american people voted for him to the put the adults back in charge. we need them babb on day one -- back on day one. rachel: one of the things that happened in new orleans is a lot of people are, like, i don't trust the fbi to be in charge of the investigation. they focused on dei, on going

after political opponents. they've a taken people off of important cases to get them on to the january 6th, you know, grandmas. so what can kash patel, how hard will it be if kash patel and, as you said, pam bondi get in, how hard will it be to change that culture in because it seems like it's been embedded. >> i have a lot of to confidence they'll be able to bring about immediate change, and if that's because these are serious grown-ups that are going to implement what president trump said we need to do, get the politics out of in this. there's so many good people whether it be at the doj or the fbi, but the culture at the top, the leadership, i think, is fundamentally broken. that's why you see this politicization of justice, all the ridiculous political attacks against president trump over the past four years. not even just president trump. look how they've a changed the culture within this country. we have a crisis in confidence when it comes to the leadership of our federal government under the biden administration.

if this has been a terrible four years when we talk about the border, we talk about the law enforcement within the country. another name that i would say that's going to be very important to get confirmed is kristi noem for homeland security. that's a critical position. but president trump needs his people in right now. we have to get them through committee and have them to go on day one. ray you're very close to the president as the nominees are getting themselves ready for these confirmation hearing, everything depends on these votes from senators, what is the president doing? you saw what he did this past week sort of twisting arms, making sure that his person, mike johnson, gets the spokership and we don't have a devolvement -- speakership -- on the house side. what is he doing in this regard with senators? is he personally calling them? is he twisting arms? if what's happening? >> well, the good news is, is such president trump has picked such outstanding people, many of them are going to sail through. we need them to move through very quickly. and and with other folks,

obviously, the nominees having their meetings on capitol hill with the various senates, and then those committee hearings will be coming up shore shortly. president trump has picked up the phone where he's needed to make some calls, he's done that. but all we've asked all along is once we get these nominees in front of the senators, they're impressive. this is a very impressive group of folks who are in these cabinet and director positions. once they get into the meetings, they win everybody over because they're so focused about doing the job. there's a fierce urgency of now that we have to to get them in place. rachel: yeah. donald trump certainly has the mandate, and i think there might be some political blowback for holding these nominees up, but these kinds of things happen. we'll see how it plays out. jason miller, thanks for giving us the state of play. appreciate it. >> thank you so much. rachel: you got it. time to saddle up. adam klotz previews the return of professional bull riding and all that manliness in new york

[laughter] adam: thank you. charlie: all right. the start of the new year means it's time to start new goals, and 65% of americans are considering a financial resolution. however, 53% say they feel overwhelmed by their personal finances, and 30% describe their relationship with money as stressful. not enough of it. is here with some tips to help you get if financial shape in 2025 the is investor jason tartek, hose of trading secrets podcast -- host of. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. charlie: so what are, first, most obvious resolutions people make and then mistakes they make

right out of the gate at the beginning of the year. >> what's interesting, the biggest resolution they say they're going to do is budget and spend less. and if that's time timely. americans spent 36% more than they expected to, and they have a ton of credit card debt. in 2024 we hit $1.2 trillion of credit card debt. so what we've got to do is we've9 if the to take advantage of what's happening now this year, and what's happening this year is there's so much automation technology that'll do the work for us. so we've got to take care of budgeting, but we've got to do it differently. charlie: so obviously you're already digging out of a whole if you spent for money than you had. and you focus largely with young people, i think. >> yeah. charlie: teaching -- young people don't, a lot of young people don't get these lessons. >> we just weren't taught this in the school system, right? one of by favorite quotes is if you're not willing to downgrade your lifestyle for a year for the lifestyle you want forever, you care too much about what

other people think. we're on social media all the time. we're seeing what people are spending, with they're going, what they're doing. at a are result of that, we are taking on so much more debt than we are able to. so i think one of the big things was behavioral-based budgeting. it's one big tip the i give everyone that listens to the podcast. the idea is understand why you're spending and where you're spending. so instead of, like, punching all the numbers in and doing excel files, pull out your credit card statement and see where the money's going. is it peer pressure? is it big deal? is it impulse? is it social proof like an influencer's giving an idea to spend? if you can understand why you're spending that money, you'll have a better job saving for the future. charlie: and, obvious, only by doing that are young people today going to be able to do the, what seems insurmountable, which is to come up with the amount of money needed to buy a house. >> yeah. well, we talked about credit card debt, right? average rates on credit card debt, 25%. you're looking at mortgages

right now, 7. and the supply is limited. so if you're in a home right now and the value's gone up significantly, where are you going to go? i think one of the biggest issues we're going of to have and new first home buyers are going to have is how do you afford it. the way you affordable it is going back to basics. it's managing inflows and outflows and making sure you can do whatever you have to have that excessive money available. starr. charlie: and starting today. >> starting today. if you're going to get a mortgage and you want to get prepared to buy a house 40, you really have to take care of your bad debt. we say refinance, restructure and repay. and the best way to do that, i would say, is a 0% interest credit card. take the balance, switch it over 12-15 months, restructure, repay. charlie: but then stay disciplined. >> stay disciplined. >> jason, thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. guy biofamily members of the menendez brothers meeting with

been abused went they were younger by their father. that would have been, perhaps, a mitigating factor in the case. is that evidence that you've been made aware of, is that compelling legally in your mind? >> so the menendez case is actually on three different tracks. the first is called a habeas track, and that's what you referred to by two new pieces of evidence that the defense brought in in may of 2023. that's evaluated against all the a evidence that was presented at the second trial, and erik menendez, for instance, got to testify for seven days regarding the sexual abuse on the second trial. the second track it's on is clemency. that's a direct petition to governor gavin newsom if that basically says let me out or let the menendez brothers out. he could have done that any day from which he's been in office from 2019 to the present and could do it this afternoon if he wanted to. the third track is resentencing, and that's somewhat unique for california. that says not only do we look at what happened in the past, but we look at what the menendezs

have been doing the last 35 years or so in prison and whether or not they've been rehabilitated. so we're looking at all three different tracts. we're looking and making a thorough review of the facts in the law and we'll reach the right decision and make them in public and defend them in court in the coming weeks. guy: very quickly, what's your timeline on making these decisions? >> we have a january 30th date for the resentencing shearing -- hearing, so that's the first court hearing date that's coming up. we intend the keep that date. so we are working as expeditiously as possible. i've been doing criminal justice as a prosecutor and defense attorney for 34 years. we know how to process information quickly, and we're working as quickly as we can to get to the right result. guy: all right, mr. district attorney, thank you so much for your time this morning. >> thank you very much. guy: all right. so changing gears dramatically -- [laughter] can you feel the beat? we know charlie can feel the beat. we are, hold your breath, doing
