Todd the moment the Christmas Show went off the rails, 9 08. The real reason for the season, of course thank you, santa is the birth of jesus christ, our savior. Well share a Special Christmas message from cardinal do dolan. Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great news for all the people. Today a savior has been born to you, the messiah, the lord. This will be a sign to you. You will find a baby wrapped in clothes lying in a manger. When they had seen him they spread the word concerning what had been told them about the child and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherd said to them but mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. Shepherds Returned Glorifying and praising god for all the things they heard and seen which were just as they had been told. Theres no better way to kick off your Christmas Morning hopefully than with that absolutely beautiful and poignant passage. Carley thats absolutely right. We have another message to share from cardinal dolan. Listen to his christmas message to everybody out there. Christmas blessings, everybody. Cardinal Timothy Dolan in New York City. Wish i could greet you personally at our Saint Patricks cathedral. Ill settle with this. Its beginning to look a lot like christmas on this morning. Do we ever need it this year, right. Were tempted to wall low in the darkness, things of the woes weve got, family, country, planet, even within. The people that walked in darkness are seeing a great light. Thats the message of christmas. Jesus, the light of the world, so lets put all those woes aside and admit that we need help. We need a savior and things are going to be better in 2023. A blessed one. Todd cardinal dolan, i had the opportunity, whenever im in new york on christmas, i recommend this for every viewer, go to Saint Patricks cay thee drail. I went cathedral. I went to mass yesterday. Reflection on the reason for the season is the birth of jesus. The humble man is born in poverty in a manger and his story of hope and power has outlasted every king, queen, army, wars. So much happened in 2023 and yet he is the centerpiece of many of our lives, those that are christians and we still look to him in a the hardest of times for hope and its such an important story and theres really a presence in Saint Patricks c and they have a giat Native Ity Scene that drives the point home. Im going to plug my buddy pete hegseth for his fox night special on the Life Of Jesus. He went to the holy land, walked and talked with his pastor and very insightful and really important this time of year to really remember who jesus christ was and why these many years later he is still the rock upon which many of us stand. Carley absolutely. What a wonderful way to celebrate christmas, to watch the Life Of Jesus and really reflect on exactly what were talking about right now. Its a perfect holiday. You have the fun. You have the tradition of. You have the family element. Theres a really serious wonderful and wondrous reason as to why we celebrate the birth of jesus christ born in like you said griff the most hundred bell of circumstances to save humble of circumstances to save the lives of every one of us. Even though we are sinners and jesus died because of our sins he also died for us so we could live together with go god and eh other forever. Todd the sorry itself is beautiful. Story itself is beautiful. If the story happened in common times we would report on it as like we have an amazing story to share with you, look at this video type of deal. That story happened so long ago, its such a beautiful, beautiful story that it still resonates and is the reason to your point that we do everything that we do and thats why quick little plug for petes special, my mom watched it. She said it is unbelievable. So if you get a chance, please make sure you check it out and my mom also said Carley Shimkus looks beautiful this morning before insulting me with an initalian curse word for how eat disgustingly.

Todd now to a fox weather alert, the historic winter storm slamming the northeast yesterday, dumping upwards of 28 inches of snow in buffalo. Many americans facing Power Outages and travel chaos. At least 22 have died as a result of the storm. Max gordon is live in hamburg, new york with the latest. Max. Reporter good morning, todd and Merry Christmas to you. The National Weather services Buffalo Office reporting 43 inches at buffalo airport. You can see it piled up all around us. Even though theres more than three feet of snow on the ground, some areas see more because of the drifting. You can see this massive snow drift right behind me. As you mentioned, Tens Of Thousands are without power this christmas. Crews are out there, trying to restore you power as quickly as possible but Officials Say some of the issues theyre encountering are trees knocked into power lines and Power Stations are iced over. Travel conditions are treacherous and a travel ban is still in effect right now here in erie county. Some roads are impassable for even First Responders. Two people unfortunately died because First Responders were not able to get to them in erie county and one man was found frozen to death in buffalo. Just tragic situations going on there. But some good news, it does appear the storm is beginning to lift a little bit. Were starting to see some peeks of blue sky all around us and hopefully folks will be able to dig out. Though there is some more snow expected, 1 to 2 feet of additional snowfall is possible over the next day with winds gusting of up to 40 miles per hour. Todd, back to you. Todd tim images are remarkable and scary at the same time. Max, thank you very much. Senator rand paul highlighting the most wasteful spending of this past year including 3 Million Bucks watching Hampsters Fight On Steroids and more than 31 million in Covid Relief Funds spent on luxury cars. Fox news contributor lisa booth joins us now. Lisa, Merry Christmas to you and your family. Merry christmas, my friend. Todd so many ridiculous examples to choose from. Which was the most egregious to you . You dont think millions of dollars to see a Hampster Fight Club is worthwhile spending for the government . You know, in reality, its easy to laugh at some of this ridiculous spending. Thank god for senator rand paul. I dont think i really appreciated him as much as i should have until covid and we realized what a principled man he is were lucky to have him in the senate. What this comes to is we work hard for our money. The people at home watching work hard for their money. Then the government just steals it, takes its from us and lights it on fire and keeps asking for more for things that people watching right now see on their screen. You know, millions of dollars for a Hampster Fight Club, over a million to get hampsters, to see them get drunk and that doesnt even cover the hundreds of billions of dollars in Interest Payments were paying on all of this debt so its a really sad reflection of where we are as a country and what little our government actually thinks of us. Todd to that point, if you were one of the millions of americans just trying to afford basic necessities, thanks to biden inflation, and you see these numbers on your screen, money so that parrots can mate, what are you supposed to think . I think it breeds frustration and a anger towards our government and i think were seeing more and more with covid, for example, right, the government shut down the economy over a virus for the vast majority of americans, as deadly as the flu, then spent trillions of dollars to pay people to stay home and change the work culture in our nation and spent trillions more on a socalled Inflation Reduction Act and the media lied to us, told us it would help inflation and everyone said lol, just kidding, its a climate bill. Were going to saddle your children and grandchildren with more debt. I think were all realizing that our government doesnt care about us and its truly broken and we need more people like senator rand paul and more people that actually care about us and actually care about what our government is doing to the country as a whole. Todd i think a bigger question is why. You know the swamp pretty well. You know the players on both sides of the aisle. I might add. Why do they think this is acceptable, wasting our tax dollars like this. Again, both sides of the aisle. Well, i think its twofold. One, its to buy votes. We saw what joe biden did ahead of the ahead of the Midterm Election with the Student Loan Bailout which ended up being unconstitutional but he did it to buy votes among young people and look how well democrats did among gen z generation so i think part of its to buy votes. The more sinister and sad part of it i believe is to he create government dependency. I think if youre being given money if youre being given money to stay home, to not work, are you more independent of the government or dependent on the government and then they own you and so i think thats the more sinister and probably the broader intent is to create more dependency to give people in charge more control and power. Todd it benefits the democrats who have been experts at that since democrats started their party. We do stories likes this every year, lisa. Is it ever going to stop . Next year will we not do this story because magically the government decided to stop wasting your money . I dont think so, todd. Thats the sad reality. I think more americans are waking up. I really do believe that covid for a lot of us Ign
