happy monday, happy new year. health officials may be making changes after recently updated covid guidelines recommending americans who test positive isolate for five days instead of 10 after no longer showing symptoms and recommending people wear masks for a week. it wasn't recommending people test negative. now dr. dr. fauci says the cdc may be making changes after wondering why testing has been left out. >> i assume the cdc will come out with more clarification of that sips it generated a number of questions about the five-day period, should you or should you not be testing people. >> todd: biden administration says the tests will take a few days to get out there. federal health officials have recently cast doubt on whether rapid tests would be able to do enough to clear up confusion when it comes to covid. >> opted not to have the rapid test for isolation, we don't know how rapid tests perform and predict if you are transmissible during the end of disease. >> republicans are calling out congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez after she was spotted outside a bar in miami, videos and photos went viral with the congresswoman firing back instantly on twitter writing if republicanss are mad they can't date me, just say that instead of projecting sexual frustration on my boyfriend's feet, creepy weirdos. republicans are calling the trip hypocritical, she chose to visit the state that shunned mask mandates, something she permitted. >> she is a hypocrite, she wants to shut down new york. down here, we want people to get out and lead their lives. >> florida and new york have taken two different approaches when it comes to pandemic response, both states are seeing a surge in cases. todd and kevin, if we were to go to a bar in florida, we would generate headlines of our own. back to you guys. >> yes on that, mark mered ith joining us in washington, appreciate it, my friend. secretary of defense lloyd austin testing positive for covid-19. austin says he is experiencing mild symptoms. he is home. he's been fully vaccinated and received a booster shot in october. he had his last meeting more than a week before he saw symptoms personally.

first homicides of the year. jacky. >> jackie: democrat-led cities are dealing with the same crisis of violence that plagued them in 2021 with surge of shootings over new year's weekend. four people dead and 25 shot over the weekend in chicago n. philadelphia, at least a dozen shootings two two homicides following a record shattering year for violence in philadelphia, which saw 555 homicides, most ever for the city. chicago reporting 797 homicides, the most in 25 years. in new york city, new mayor erica hernandez eric adams says he is reeling violence in. >> policymakers have not understood urgency of the moiment. i do. you will not bring violence to this city. that is not going to continue to happen. >> jackie: and adams reiterating plans to bring back a plain clothes anti-crime unit to nypd after it was disbanded in 2020. former nypd detective oscar odom joined us earlier hopeful the adams' time will mean more justice for criminals. >> oscar: he is law enforcement officer understanding needs of what is taking place. hopefully you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. >> jackie: adams vows to crack down on gun violence, nypd officer was shot in the head while sleeping in his car on new year's day. that officer suffering a fractured skull. but has been released and expected to recover. the bullet hit the officer from a long distance away. they are seeking information on who fired the shot and why. >> kevin: thank goodness he is okay. jackie ibanez, thank you. americans have words to describe 2021, including train wreck and chaos, according to new poll, usa suffolk poll, including awful, sucked, confusing and catastrophe. a few describing last year in positive terms with most citing covid pandemic and fractured politics as basis for dismay. 46% of people have hope for 2022, looking forward to a new year and new possibilities. kevin corkeegetting philosophical on monday morning. we should make everyday our masterpiece, some days it will work, some days it will not. there is too much pressure to put it all on a year. so many variables go into life over 365 days, a lot to put on the calendar year. try your best everyday and what say you? kiosk you need a cardigan and pie and patches on the elbow, very prove sorial. i look at the year this way, i have not been promised next month, next week, tomorrow, i make the most of each and everyday. you get to a certain age and you notice what happens in the lives of those around you, sometimes catastrophic job loss and it makes you sit back and say listen, this is our chance to do something different, special or at the least enjoy and take it all in. i try to focus on that, that is miable goal, i will do more of that in 2022. >> todd: that said, if you look in the change of the calendar as opportunity to do reset and recalibrate yourself and make yourself better going forward, let's face it, we're all for it. if it makes you a better human in 2022, this world could use better humans, let's go for it. get more focused, clean out our inbox at work and that other junk, that is what i focused on, shows where my head is at. let's do it, go have a great year and hope not to have the same talks like 2022, what a horrible year. >> kevin: did you make yourself a new year's resolution? some people do. i actually did this year, which is rare. did you make one? >> todd: i did. hear yours first? >> kevin: i have a bad habit, i can't get my mom's chicken and chili, i indulge too often in both. what i decided in 2022, scale back, i can have it, not as often. how about you? >> todd: got it. i have decided i want to eat more like an adult and not like a 15-year-old. i want to work out like a 15-year-old not like the middle-aged adult i am. >> kevin: i have to get rid of the captain crunch in my cupboard, i still eat like a 15 year old. thank you. speaking of others, listen, pro football players don't eat like 15 year olds issue but sometimes the stars all fauf. antonio brown no locker a member of the buccaneers. he took off his shirt midway through the third quarter before jogging off the field for good. bruce arians saying he is no longer a buc. when you do things like that, it will cost you more than your job, it will cost money. brown costing himself nearly million dollars in performance bonuses with that outburst. i'm a fan of his skill and talent issue not a fan of the distraction and i worry there is something bigger happening here, todd. your thoughts? >> todd: i agree, there is something bigger happening here, this is part of a pattern with multiple teams. in the nfl, talent finds itself back on to the field regardless of behavior and extracurricular activities. i don't know in this instance if it will. bruce arians said, he quit on us, that does not do well in a locker room. we wish he gets the help he does need, nobody needs to see that. with that -- >> kevin: agree with you. >> todd: yeah. time is 12 minutes after the hour. still ahead on "fox and friends," congressman and pat fallon join us life and getting mixed messages from the white house. >> the pcr can be positive for up to 12 weeks, that is not helpful. >> why not test people at that time? >> i myself feel that is a reasonable thing to do. >> yeah, if the experts can't get their facts straight how do the american people follow the guidelines? that is next. before treating your chronic migraine, 15 or more headache days a month each lasting 4 hours or more, you're not the only one with questions about botox®. botox® prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine before they even start, with about 10 minutes of treatment once every 3 months. so, ask your doctor if botox® is right for you, and if a sample is available. effects of botox® may spread hours to weeks after injection causing serious symptoms. alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue, and headache. don't receive botox® if there's a skin infection. tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions and medications, including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects. in a survey, 92% of current users said they wish they'd talked to their doctor and started botox® sooner. plus, right now, you may pay zero dollars for botox®. ask your doctor about botox® today. >> after infection can be positive for up to 12 weeks, that is not going to be helpful, you will not be transmitting during that period of time, we have seen in studies. >> people r concerned, why not test people at that time? i feel it is reasonable to do. i feel the cdc soon will be coming out with more clarification. >> todd: more mixed messaging on whether or not you need to be tested to end shorter quarantine. joiping me is dr. human humadi. if these two can't get on the same page to test or not, how can we trust the administration and messaging on bigger issues like vaccines and other major health issues? >> yeah, thanks, todd. that has been a consistent problem with the messaging since the pandemic began, recent months it's gotten worse. this is a critical public health issue, they can't be going and making up policies on the fly based on opinion. at this point, we're two years into the pandemic and don't have to guess what is going on, we now know based on huge body of literature houshgman hemmati. from masking to vaccinations and everything in between. when it comes to this policy, let alone any policy, they need to base decision and policies cautiously, deliberately and entirely based on clinical evidence rather than saying my opinion is etcetera. as result of that, what is happening, there is confusion created in the public and that confusion leads to lack of confidence and that lack of confidence turns into lack of compliance. when we have that, you lose control of the pandemic and that's happened over the last year or so, especially. what we need is for the administration to recognize they need to speak with one voice and that one voice needs to be consistent and based on clinical evidence, not based on politics or internal opinion and not based on anything else aside from medical science. >> todd: two people that the nation turns to, dr. fauci and welensky. forcing kids to wear masks as they prepare for boosters for kids. start with the mask, as parent, is it reasonable to expect your kid to sit with a mask on for eight hours per day? >> what is interesting, over the holidays, the word this directive was going to come out leaked out and there was enormous parental outrage on social media, result nothing bombardment of the e-mails from parents concerned and angry about this for a couple reasons. number one, if you're telling kids and families now that they need to switch into much more draconian measures in terms of masks, n95s or surgical masks, does that mean cloth masks haven't been working? implicit acknowledgment of that. second, it doesn't make sense, it is tough to breathe with those masks, it is difficult to wear one tight fitting for a matter of minutes or hours, let alone an entire school day. omicron is less severe, so why make the mask requirement more severe response to it? public health department decided to make it a recommendation, not a mandate. we're going to see, i think a lot of pressure on part of parents to say base this on science, rather than trying to do anything you can to show abundance of caution, that is all theatrics. >> todd: every time i wear a mask for any period of time, i got to use my inhaler. do what you got to do. dr. hemmati, we appreciate your time. kevin, over tou. >> kevin: 21 after the hour. we continue on "fox and friends," tough talk from president biden in his latest conversation

get to feel like you're walking the same path they did. ♪ ♪ >> reaffirming support for ukraine during a call with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. >> todd: good morning, alex. >> president biden says he will act decisively if russia decides to invade ukraine. jen psaki spoke about this yesterday adding following statement saying he, referring to president biden reaffirms his -- and expressed support for confidence building measures to deescalate tension. volodymyr zelenskyy ukrainian president says he appreciates the support and partners to prevent future escalation. this comes one day after the call with putin over issues at the border. there is fear of eminent invasion. >> this is a real threat to nato, united states and democracy and the fact russia could be using tanks to change the map of the world against democracy should be troubling to all allies. >> current conflict growing nationalists marched in kyiv yesterday honoring anti-soviet leader. president biden says russia will face severe sanctions if it invades ukraine. troops serve as protection against expansion of nato and ukraine has yet to receive a bid or membership to be admitted into nato. we will see more talks continue. senior u.s. and russia officials are set to meet in geneva, switzerland to continue this conversation on january 9 and 10. >> kevin: a texas veteran is calling on president joe biden for flip flopping his tone in addressing the covid-19 pandemic. take a listen. >> president biden: i'm not going to shut down the economy or country, i will shut down the virus. >> president biden: there is no -- >> kevin: wesley hunt is army veteran and candidate for 38th district in the great state of texas. mr. hunt, i'm like most, iment consistency in leadership and i want them to react to new information, it seems this is a bridge too far for some people, what say you? >> of course it is. we have had two million illegal immigrants enter our country. if you ask me, we don't need a booster shot, we need a booster wall. i recall a tweet from president biden criticizing president trump at 200,000 deaths due to covid and last i checked we are at 400,000 and we have not seen his resignation. there is a different tone from president biden and candidate biden, he's trying to enforce vaccine mandates on small businesses. there is contradiction and hypocrisy is nausiating. >> kevin: you point out attempt to federalize it and they are admitting no one size fits all solution to the circumstance. we had a conversation with a researcher yesterday that said, we have to in one form or the other live with this and learn to manage better. when you look at what the administration is doing and you mentioned we've seen a massive number of individuals come over the border and to say nothing of those intercepted, are they being tested and vaccinated? this is a real health crisis for the peep nel your state. >> it most certainly is. covid is here to side president biden and vice president harris criticized this from the beginning. when he was running for president, he said they would not take a vaccine if it origin eated from the trump administration. you wonder why people have vaccine hesitancy at this point. you are right about the immigrants, they don't have mandates and we are not vaccinating them. people are actually awake, this is why i'm running for congress to make sure we take back the house and stop the bleeding and hypocrisy. >> kevin: wesley hunt, from the lone star state. let me ask you this, if there is overarching message, a lot of people are concerned about crime and the border, concerned about american sovereignty, so many ways you can go, but one issue you want to hammer home, what would that be? >> it is our constitution, it is freedom. there is a reason why the population in texas and florida are growing exponentially because people are flocking to states where they are allowed to make their own decision and choice about their health and what is best for their children. what do we teach our children and how are we going to continue to remain in a free state and abide by the greatest document created outside the bible, our constitution. that is why i'm returning to preserve that right for all of us and every taxpaying citizen in the country. >> kevin: wesley hunt joining us today, we appreciate your time. >> god bless, happy new year. >> kevin: happy new year. todd, back to you. >> todd: one new york school banning christmas song "jingle bells," yeah, over the quote potential to be offensive. i give up, you

the school attributing the ban to reports the first song in songs by white performers wearing black face back in the 1800s. amid outrage, school president says this is not liberalism or cancel culture as some suggested, this is not a political situation, it was egg simple, thoughtful circular decision. todd. >> kevin: wow, starting to attack the people about wokism in their defense. >> todd: krit critics ripping the news for ted cruz's teenage daughter. joe concha here. ted cruz's daughter takes to tik-tok. quote from his daughter. this was not in an interview, it is off tiktok. people judge me on first glance, i disagree with most of his views. his daughter is 13 years old, any depth these people won't stoop, joe? >> joe: great question. if you are keeping score at home. reporting on the president's 50 something year old son hunter biden that is journalism, off limits despite there is plenty there to explore as adult child of a politician. look, ted cruz's daughter, 13 years old, she is fair game, however. news flash, many 13 year olds, my daughter is eight now, 13 year olds likely disagree with their parents on xyz. how is this new? if this was o'rourke's kid in texas, rhetorical question, todd. >> todd: such a great point bringing up hunter biden, this young lady did not put herself in the spotlight, huntser did. texas state senator springer, dallas news, do you need my kid's tik-tok account? hashtag leave kirds out of politics, i agree with that. this is every 13 year old girl, brah. and dallas morning news agrees with news of 13 year olds. y joe, is this a sign of desperation and things are not going well for the democratic party heading into 2022 heading into the mid-term? >> joe: in texas, the border is a major issue, you have 2.2 million people crossing into this country, whether texas or arizona, todd. you triple total population of washington, d.c. and that equals number of people who came to the country this year, maybe more. in general, kids who are not old enough to vote should not be covered by the press. i said this about the obama children when they were in the white house and i said this about trump, who was on the other side of vicious vitriol. no upside and nothing news worthy in the case of cruz. that is where we are at this point. go, bears. it was a tough loss against you guys yesterday and we recorded another sack. >> todd: of course it was. tough year. got to have a quarterback or you can't win. yeah. >> i got nothing, joe. joe concha rubbing it in because that is what he does when his bears win. have a great day, my friend. kevin, save me. >> kevin: great stuff. taking live look at the white house, snow is coming down. winter storm warning in place for the nation's capitol today. i had to take an uber to work

>> you know, what we have seen is, the border crisis that we are -- that's occurring right now is from two things. it was manufactured, from joe biden's wokeness and his weakness. he signaled to the far left that he de facto open border policy. and wait in mexico catch and release. build the wall became open the gate. deport criminals became cartels run amok. added 2 million people illegally to this country. the entire population of the state of west virginia. and we have had for the first time in our history at least 160,000 border crossings each month for 10 months in a row. this is not a border crisis. it's a border catastrophe. something has to be done. it's a clear and present danger to americans. >> it's not just a threat, congressman, to the health and safety of those on the border. it's frankly a national security threat, is it not? >> it is. do you know what joe biden succeeded at one thing as well. he has made every state a border state when you look at the fentanyl seizures on the border, enough fentanyl manufactured in china by the way to kill every man-child in this country time over. it's a lot easier for the cartels to smuggle their illegal narcotics when half of our border patrol agents are changing diapers, administering covid tests and baby-sitting. >> todd: potential killing of a thousand americans from overdoses isn't enough to change the biden administration's policies, congressman, what is? >> you know what? that's a great question. you know, they have this inconsistent covid policy where they close down the borders for nine months, except the southern border, nobody in the entire world could come to this country illegally as a tourist but they allowed 2 million people to come through the country mostly from nation states that don't have any vaccination rates to speak of. so, we -- what we saw in virginia, what we saw in new jersey in elections across the country in november, was a swing of about 16 percentage points. and that's not going to be a red wave. that's a red tsunami. if democrats don't start taking border security and the safety of americans seriously republican also take control and do for them. ed toed to congressman pat fallon, we appreciate you getting up early with us on this first business day of 2022. thank you very much. have great new year. mr. clark, i had fun doing this i think we should do it again tomorrow. >> let's do it again tomorrow and wednesday. a real pleasure to be with you, my friend. have great day and see you again. in the meantime be good out there and those of you that have to deal with the snow, be careful. >> seriously be careful. the first one always a problem. with that, be safe, shovel with your legs not your back.
