you might be wrong. i can't wait for this segment. guy: pens and needles as the third hour of "fox & friends" weekend starts right now. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ charlie: keeping country music going i think for you. rachel: for me -- for the rodeo? i love it. charlie: rachel says she likes country music and we go with it. i like old country music more than newer. rachel: you're going to be a country snob like on the couch. charlie: i like different types of music i can't afford to be a snob great to be here with you all, and with guy and rachel. rachel: good to be here. guy: what is the last concert you went to actually -- charlie: i took my daughter to

see journey. guy: that's not embarrassing at all. that's a fantastic answer. charlie: she was born in detroit. and i met one of the guys in the band and he was like yeah we're going to be playing in detroit like i ought to take my daughter. guy: south troits -- rachel: which one in the band -- which instrument does he play? i'm sorry just curious because eve this a new front man who -- charlie: no, not him one of the original guys. i'm terrible with names rachel. you know. rachel: i'm impressed by this entire story. rachel: yeah, we all love journey you better love journey or at least be a member of gen-x. charlie: it was an amazing concert. and i was probably, my daughter was definitely the youngest person there. rachel: did she like it?

charlie: loved it and knew all of the music too. rachel: of course because she's your daughter. charlie: all forced to listen to classic rock back in the day. rachel: a lot of republicans are forced to lock themselves up in rooms get things done. here's representative mally talking about the gop meetings that have been going on trying to get everyone together. she said it was an informative and productive day where we exchange ideas, procedures to accomplish our legislative goals of secure our border deporting cartels and criminal saving traffic children restoring dominance and wasteful spending building upon president trump hispanic tax cuts we have united and ready to deliver for americans, and what will be the most momentous year for congress and the country. so what do you guys make of this a fight over speaker johnson actually maybe brought them close or together?

is that possible? guy: they had a success right they got together. a lot of the nay sayers are here we go again -- all of the drama multiple rounds how's it going to go and then one round, one and done speaker johnson elected unity required with one straggler everyone else on the same page. they're going to have to stays on the same page if they want to do anything really there was a long list we heard from the congresswoman a lot easier said than done. because it's like herding cats sometimes. but big promises were made to the american people. not just by -- congressional candidates and members of congress trying to keep their jobs but also, of course, by the president-elect. and they have the opportunity they stick together to do some significant things here in the coming months. >> a razor thin majority they have to set together or else none of the things will get done. >> i have given up on some level because it's been what 15 years

since -- congress has gone through regular order to fund the government. which i find enraging and -- it's to me it is -- they should all be impeached for it. it is so appalling. but given the depth of our problems, you know, the idea of trying to get a couple of big things through on reconciliation which allows them to skirt the filibuster in the senate trump, obviously, wants to do the border and he wants to extend tax cuts, and he also wants to get a debt ceiling hike to give them some maneuverability room for the next year. which all of the, you know, the debt ceiling thing always against that. but i understand why they want to do that. earlier today we talked to congresswoman claudia from new york an she talked about how they think they might get that through. >> i thought it was a tremendous meeting. i think that one of the most important things to gain from that meeting is --

what a historic time we're at right now. the fact that donald trump is able to win with a mandate, and the fact that the republicans were able to take back the senate and yes a very slim majority in the house but this is a moment where we have to make sweeping changes. we have to make a difference to the american people. and i think we're in a great position to do that. one of the things that speaker johnson emphasized is that we need to do this in one large bill because we've got to get it done. we can't miss an opportunity. we only get two shots at reconciliation speak or johnson is perfect person to work with donald trump. this is historic. we have to put this together. we have to deliver for the american people. and i think we have a unique combination of true patriots that are going to do that. rachel: wow. that's exciting actually. exciting. charlie: she points out you could not pick find two people who are more different personality wise -- [laughter] than speak or johnson and donald trump. guy: some of the video and just

images of speaker johnson tagging along to events ufc and trump and posesy he's like the dweeb like how is this my life right now that's how he looks but now he has a huge task heated of him donald trump is now made it possibly clear that his preference is to do this in one bill. because discussions about two but he wants one beautiful bill the only problem is the parliamentarian gets to decide what qualifies for that type of bill and what doesn't. so republicans have sob efficient but also really smart about how they do this. rachel: i love how you talked about how mike johnson went to the events went to mar-a-lago ufc fight. a lot of people don't realize just how relational politics is. you know, because trump is a

relational president he understands relationships matter and those relationships he has for example with johnson able to communicate get things done and that's been important. i think it paid off for speaker johnson to have a close relationship with are the president to pick up the phone and talk to each other and they know what ticks each other off and all of those kinds of things that happen in relationships. charlie: they do cover the entire nerd spectrum to total jock, donald trump. and like you guy, speaker johnson does a mean, mean donald trump impersonation he does -- >> he can break that out. if you've ever seen guys impersonation it is a pretty good inters nation. it is good. >> we were talking about we love zumba folks don't we love i zumba many times. have well -- charlie: i do the worst trump impersonation but i do it to make myself feel better is it makes me happy.

guy: anything about trump makes you happy. all right. so here's someone who will be replaced very soon. by donald trump that's the transition huge disparagement pouring in over president biden's decision to award presidential medals of freedom to a number of controversial recipients. some of them are perfectly fine like i love denzel washington some of the people deserving. but getting particular attention and note hillary clinton and john soros senator rick scott who was just reelected down in florida he posted to x apparently all it takes is to donate millions to him and his family january 20th, can't come soon enough. i mean if that's the standard i wonder if they can sneak in a medal for burisma as well. rachel: absolutely but millions given is really the least of it. it is just this is --

george soros by the way that's his son receiving on his behalf i believe jeff not up to coming to the white house. >> political bags man. to set it up. >> george soros is a villain a great interview earlier with leo terrell talking about the destruction that he caused by funding these d.a.'s liberal d.a. undermining law and order in the city's and people who paid the price were people in communities that don't you know people don't have private security like george soros. so these are -- bad people another bad person who got it, hillary clinton, i mean, just think about just what happened at benghazi alone not to mention the fact in haiti and all of the crazy stuff that the clinton foundation did down there. all of the destruction and the terrible policies of hillary clinton, yet here she is

receiving the medal of freedom award. i would say destroying freedom gets you the freedom award i guess. >> it can be inspirational to know that one day they too can set up a illegal e-mail server lie about it constantly get an award like that and standing ovation. >> among the wonderful deserving people michael j. fox you mentioned denzel washington. you know, david rubenstein who has given tens of millions of dollars to restoring some of the facilities in d.c. like the washington monument. >> totally worthy. why did lionel get it? >> but this is -- didn't show up. but this is that was hilarious but the idea that you would give the award to those people such deserving people. and then you would immediately cheapen the value of the reward by giving it to these people who don't deserve it. and then oh, and then one for a

couple of hundred to george soros it is really -- and another one and then you're going to politicize all of them, of course, they gave one -- he gave one to rfk sr. which was clearly, i mean, why are you giving one to rfk sr. today it is sort of bizarre except it is a shot to rfk jr. and they sent somebody else to pick up his award. guy: people on the left will say these can get political look at some of trump's honorees like rush limbaugh and republican of congress. rachel: that one brought a tear to my eye. guy: that is the counterpoint. charlie: it is a great point but the thing is that no one can dispute he was the king of radio. and he brought people, he did more to sort of illuminate and by the way, i think was a -- a leading the leading edge of the republican party that donald trump has turned the republican

party into. a lot of those people that working class people who maybe voted democrat, you know, could have been introduced to politics by rush limbaugh. rachel: i'm sorry -- guy: tied behind his back to make it fair. rachel: there's a fascinating "60 minutes" interview that you can go back and watch on youtube i watched with george soros from -- quite a while back. but when you watch this interview and he talks about his childhood he's sociopathic it is unbelievable this man who is currently had a stake in destroying our country, but also you know, his past, it is just kind of crazy. but also want to mention supersoccer player, star, given the award didn't show up a lot of people going why. why did he get it? here's what i think happened here's my theory you tell me if i'm wrong i think this was

the -- how democrats act. i know -- let's get the latino vote, and give this guy, you know, a medal of freedom from, you know, an e had didn't show up because probably doesn't mean much to him. but that's the cheap kind of way that they do outreach these days they don't give you lower inflation or -- better life or safer neighborhoods. but they do give your superstar soccer player from argentina an award. >> not saying he snubbed it deliberately but he's rightward in his politics. you know who else won recipient of this augusta award joe biden. obama gave it to him. so -- >> i justment everyone to know unlike mr. messi if i get the medal of freedom i will rearrange my schedule. >> you'll make man exception -- >> i'll clear my decks to be there. [laughter] guy: one day.

flf rachel: we've got a lot of nominations -- confirmation hearings coming out from some of donald trump nominees and one that people have been talking about that might be controversial was the health and human services position that rfk jr. sup for. but what's interesting is we're starting to see that maybe some democrats will support rfk this is a quote from the hill as preparations for confirmation hearings begin to take shape multiparking lot sources say that bernie sanders and john fetterman in particular are at least considering voting for kennedy noting shared critiques on heavy corporate influence over food and a desire to promote a less chemical laden country bernie will give him a fair review said one source close to the senators office. what do you guys think? >> it is interesting when you stop and think about two renegades two rare renegades in the democrat party. whatever you think of bernie sanders, he's also a total

communist. but there are at least renegades within the party and it -- underscores how much the rest of the democrat party has become the party of corporations. and completely beholdened to the corpses that sadly our government agencies have been corrupted into more supporting than overseeing and trying to -- guy: although i would say a word of caution from a conservative perspective rfk jr. whatever you think of especially on health related issues he's single payer government run health care like bernie sanders. he's also not pro-life on the abortion issue. so i think those are -- important questions for the republicans on the committee to ask him because that's a powerful position he's up for. rachel: i want to ask him that as a catholic i love positions he's got. but boy i have a hard time with pro-life or his proabortion policies and positions. we have chef rule on earlier talking about this health issue. and how why he thinks that rfk

is the only guy qhok fix our food supply problem. listen. >> i don't think they should be telling people what they shouldn't eat and they need to get out of that game of information because that information is captured right, so a lot of that money that's provided from the private corporations or the big corporations to the advisory board into the federal government to jam down things like the food pyramid to us that is money. follow the money that's not good information get them out of the information game if anything let's allow octave information to flow through freely to consumer to make a decisions themselves. as the government has gotten bigger through the usda we've gotten sicker we look at the chemicals in foods and we realize these aren't sold in countries all around the world yet we're being given information here in the united states that's not good that's forcing us to eat those chemicals get those out. >> yeah. government studies not funded by the corpses. by the food industry,

interesting topic no matter where the -- where the politicians are i think this is a truly bipartisan issue for the citizens. charlie: those hearings will be interesting. now to a fox weather alert a winter storm dumping snow over the midwest is nearly 60 million people across 27 states face threats of heavy snow, ice, and freezing cold temperatures. guy: turn flow to rick for the fox weather forecast it's an important one. >> midwest also headed to eastern seaboard washington, d.c., baltimore, philadelphia, in for one of the biggest snowstorms you've had likely in years. i'll show you temperatures very cold already. the colder air in place by the way going to get much colder behind this storm. that cold air going to settle down across the southeast as well. this is the storm right now. see the snow flying across parts of kansas especially we have blizzard warning there is. now in effect, and look at this where you see that purple -- that's mixing rain snow. but where you see the pink that is icing.

at temperatures at the surface are below freezing, but up above they're actually warmer. and the precipitation falls as rein and freezes on contact on the ground and on every surface. because of that power outages easy with. this is where we've got watches and warnings in place anywhere from kansas at orange that's where you see the blizzard warnings, winter storm warnings, ice storm warnings in effect and this is the icing we're expecting especially across parts much kentucky southern illinois southern indiana wide power outages largely along interstate 70 you have to be careful keep in mind you'll be without power potentially and cold air temperatures feeling like into the single digit so it is going to be really cold. bit time we get towards tonight into tomorrow storm moves towards east this is i-95 corridor we have winter storm warnings in effect from philadelphia down through baltimore down towards d.c.. back towards west virginia, by the way, but some spots here may be getting over a foot of snow

or close to a foot of snow guy we were just talking about getting the snow? d.c.. it is a spot that hasn't gotten a lot of snow recently and six to 12 inch snowstorm in d.c. will be a big deal starting here monday morning commute. guys. guy: if the cold weather comes out a lot of that snow stays rights for a while. >> know is not going anywhere and it is settle in and it doesn't melt on the ground for quite a while. rachel: thank you rick great stuff. more "fox & friends" coming up.

a selfless person. great friend, brother and son. he had a deep passion for the sport of lacrosse he played in college just big jets fan he was supposed to be at the game today he had bought his father and brother tickets for christmas. hard worker always talked about the future really just had an amazing future ahead of him and it just such a shame that it was taken from him. guy: you went down there for this celebratory night having a good time how do you get separated and when did you have a sense that maybe something was wrong? >> yeah. so we went down for new year's eve and the sugar bowl, next day -- you know, it was a little blurry that moment but we were together for 99% of the night e turned around and billy wasn't there i had a missed phone call from him at 3:17 a.m. 3:19 a.m., i texted him called him where are you went to go outside, and at that point the

bouncers had locked us inside of the establishment said, you know, there's something going on outside i didn't realize the severity of it at the time. and then went outside and it was just mayhem and spent all night looking for him, obviously, to no avail. >> when did you find out that those growing gnawing fears were, in fact, confirmed? >> later that night. it was a horrible day. that didn't really have much information for us unfortunately and we were kind of just sitting there we were in the hospital, and yeah. it was just horrific. >> how has your friend group and his family been reacting to this because it has to feel on some level not real. surreal too all awful to be trut it is true. >> absolutely. so it was one of the most evil things possible what happened. but i will say the aftermath and the support that the community has been showing and our great hometown our friends, family

right people across the country it's been tremendous. the support has been something that's been one of the most positive and just inspiring things to me seeing people rallying behind him and honoring his memory. guy: i think after these sorts of things happen there's a obsession with attacker and perpetrator sometimes victims get short rift before i let you go billy how will he be remembered? >> as he loved to bring people together and make them smile, and i hope that the people that know him will do the same for the people they know and just act in that way. he's really just a fantastic again selfless human being. guy: troy gallo thank you for your time and so sorry for your loss. >> thank you. guy: more "fox & friends" coming up shortly including this story u.s. and mexican officials finding secret tunnel right adjacent to the border wall some officials are worried this could be a sign that gangs are sneaking into the country.

>> all right well we're back with a fox weather alert severe winter weather threatening the country right now as more than 16 million people across 27 states face threats of heavy snow, ice, and dangerously cold temperatures. >> at least three states have declared state of emergency one of those states is missouri and that's where fox weather correspondent mike joins us from now. good morning, mike. reporter: good morning we're getting into the thick of it snow and blowing snow we've got blizzard warnings for much of the state of kansas and kansas city where the chiefs finally got out of town yesterday and on the runway for four hours

because of ice it was a skating rink but they're playing broncos later on today. back here upwards of a foot of snow in st. louis right now it is snowing looking for five to nine inches there. the other impact is at the airports, kansas city forget about it 75.of the departure and arrivals at kci have been canceled and about 50% of the flights in and out of st. louis have also been canceled. this is going to last into monday morning, and south of here it is the ice storm warnings. cape getting ice power outages showing up 6,000 so far ice from parts of missouri and southern illinois, and parts of western kentucky, and this is all headed east guys. d.c., baltimore under winter storm warnings all the way to philadelphia to make a mess of the monday morning commute likely extend vacation for millions of kids who have been out for christmas will likely not go back to school tomorrow maybe not even tuesday. but this is a beg storm likely

to be the biggest in st. louis in about three years and other story is the cold coming in behind it. the snow and ice is going nowhere. temperatures the next several mornings, getting into monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, out here will be in the single numbers in highs may not get above freezing until next weekend so the chills heading east for those of you in new york city a little bit of snow but most of the significant snowfall will stay south of the city. on this particular storm -- >> well thank you mike my kids are in new jersey, and they were bummed that they weren't going to get the day off. but these are freezing dangerous temperatures, i know, right -- thanks for giving us that report fantastic. thank you, mike. >> you're welcome. >> well u.s. an mexican officials discovering a secret tunnel in mexico near the border wall with the help of drones last month. mexican police call it a narco tunnel used for trafficking drugs and people into the u.s. charlie: it is the third time one of these tunnels was found near uma, arizona, last year.

executive director for the center for a secured free society visiting fellow at the heritage foundation -- foundation joseph joins now. joseph good to see you. so you know i was struck by the fact that this was found by both u.s. officials in coordination with mexican officials. does that tell us anything about maybe -- the mexican authorities realizing that they're going to have to start actually participating in securing the border? >> well, you know we've had good cooperation with mexican authorities on tactical issues. what happens is when you want to get to strategic issues or high level against the mexican cartels that collaboration breaks down under most recent government but new government in mexico and new president of the united states so hoping that cooperation can enhance as far as the tunnels we have this refrain in the military we say amateur talk strategy

professionals talk logistics and on the border we have advanced that cartellings build because they're powered by massive amounts of money. you have the global drug industry $360 billion. the amount of money that's being poured on to the elicit emphasizes is giving best technologies to go around law enforcement. so this is a major challenge i think for the mexican government and new trump administration they need to focus on the logistics that power just like it does in a war about, supply lines power the militaries and this case logistics power the cartels allows them to do all of the stuff theyi wantg cartels are now mexico fifth large largest employer operating along southern border but also inside of mexico i've been concerned as you know we've been

having these conversations that open border and enrichment and empowering of these cartels would turn mexico into a narco state. is that where we are where they're the fifth largest employer. that's insane? dges that's 100% of the direction that mexico is going. this is a tremendous concern. we cannot afford for mexico to become a venezuela as a neighbor, trade partner and we share a very long border. and what happens and this is the biggest concern especially on border towns is as you know rachel like -- enterprise doesn't stop because you stop governing, a free enterprise that we're all involved in and illegal and elicit emphasize and when the elicit driven more than the production that means it is renderable and next day you're a truck driver for a cartel, and that's what's happening on border towns, incentives are lining so that elicit is

dominating the free because the mexican government, mexican economy hasn't been boosted up. it's been stifled down that was the big problem with the policies his policies of nationalizing the oil industry of going after the private sector was pushing more and more the incentives towards cartels and taking over towns and not to mention open border it gave them money, incentives into the elicit enterprise. >> in many towns cartel is the police for that town. they are the security for that town and, obviously, this corrupts politicians as well. go if i need to operate in this area, i've got to coordinate with the cartels. this is a very dangerous situation. there are our closest most important neighbor so this is a big task for the trump administration moving forward joseph you're always on top of these issues we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you. rachel: yesterday we had a very important question for our next guest. my daughters said that if you

glai. u.s. surgery general pushing for cancer warning labels on alcohol calling number three cause of preventible cancer in the u.s. after only tobacco and obesity. he points to a study showing how just one drink a week can cut your life-span by 5 minutes. and two weekly drinks may take two or three days off of your life fox news medical contributor nicole saphier is here to react welcome so is alcohol poison and is there a balance that we can strike between this information that's coming out? >> happy new year this message that alcohol is a toxin and can lead to an increase risk of many cancers not just one or two but over seven different types of cancer this is all great heading into 2025 putting warning labels on alcohol i think will have no, ma'am mall effect but getting information out there and educating the public about the

detriments drinking alcohol is very important. not only can alcohol directly affect the cells that it touches through the mouth and the e so esophagus and alter metabolism leading to cancers that you wouldn't think of like breast and uterine and others so this message is important heading into the new year. it is dry january, about a quarter of all of the population try dry january, i usually try to stay away from fads i prefer everything in moderation over the course of the year. but the good news is people who try dry january about 72% of them decrease their alcohol drinking throughout the entire year. now one point rachel i want to make some people like to drink alcohol because they say it has a calming effect, in fact, it has the exact opposite effect on your body increasing inflammation puts your body in a state of stress. so i recommend exercise, reading, family time, and you know me natural herbs to help calm our bodies more gentle way, and doing away with the toxins. >> you're right warning labels don't do but what i'm seeing

young people on tiktok talking about it also a lot of health podcasters people like yourself posting about it. those kinds of things actually i think have a greater impact and i guess you know we talk a lot about bad news in this country young people today drink less alcohol than kids in the 80s. so that's a positive trend. >> they need to get off social media that's bad too let's not take one addiction for another. rachel: drink or be on your phone talk about in a little bit. talk about that. but i want to talk about this because yesterday we had this question on the show. listen. >> my daughter is also said if you sauna it is like a workout like it is essentially the same as a workout by the way -- that is raises your cardio -- >> get one of the fox doctors on that one. nicole saphier can we sit in a sauna and count that as a workout? [laughter] rachel: you know my girls they love to workout they're listening to health podcast they're on those tiktok videos,

you know giving all of the health afghanistan advice and they said this. what do you say? >> duffy girls are the saphier boy baby-sitters and i know the household are big supporters of the sauna. i also like infrared saunas there are a lot of health benefits when it comes to sauna boost metabolism relaxes you and improves sleep all of these things can it replace going to the gym absolutely not let me tell you why first of all yes you burn calories sitting in the sauna. you certainly do. however, especially women rachel let's listen -- bone health is so important as we get older. we need to maintain our bone density we need to make sure we're avoiding osteoporosis like running, dancing pickle ball, but also you have to be lifting weights. lifting weights and building that lean muscle mass is not only great for your brain health and your body health but also keeps your bones healthy as well.

rachel: nicole i'm not saying it would replace weight lifting but i do my weight lifting and i have to choose between the row machine or biking -- or doing the sauna -- is that the same if those cardio exercises raises my heart -- not saying replace weight lifting but talking about the cardio -- >> but but you're skipping out on weight baring exercises but building that lean muscle. no but there are two different things lifting weights is one thing that's building lean muscle but weight baring exercises meaning baring your own weight not lifting weights but your weight so running -- riding a bike -- dancing -- pickle ball -- tennis all of the thingings that is the most helpful for your core and your bones. you cannot omit that you have to find a few more extra minutes in the day which i know is impossible but you have to try. >> i was hoping you would tell me i can relax in the sauna and

feel good about it and forget about my peloton bike but you always tell the truth so we appreciate that. thanks for clearing that up. by the way, guys are lying on screen at me.
