3:03 am
speaker pelosi's comments. she used the word imposture. talking about the president of the united states. >> finally guys, when does all this i understand? speaker pelosi was asked in that interview when it would end, she says she doesn't know when the inquiry ends. guys? steve: none of us do. all right. griff, thank you very much. meanwhile, there has been bipartisan criticism in addition to all of the republicans, it seems, up on capitol hill. talking about how unfair the proceedings have been. republican, rather a democrat from new jersey, jeff van drew said that the. we do process is fracturing our nature. ainsley: look at the polls about 50/50 in favor of it. pete: chair of the intel committee supposed to be bipartisan long sense lost that going to california and talking about the resistance as speaker pelosi says well, this is a prayerful, thoughtful process we will go through.
3:04 am
put those 8 names up going to be testifying this week we know what they are going to say because they auditioned behind closed doors we have a transcript and they released the transcript. you don't have to watch to know what they are going to say it's such a sham show. ainsley: testify behind closed doors and then they decide which one to be public. steve: not everyone makes the cut. pete: like audition for broadway show. one guy that might not make the cut mark sandy. you will. steve: then you have got as griff detailed jennifer williams who is a mike pence aide, specialist when it comes to europe and russia. she apparently told the committee that it looked as if the omb, office of management and budget clamped down on ukraine aid more than two weeks earlier than previously reported. that's it. that's the headline. two weeks difference. ainsley: she also heard the word burisma.
3:05 am
steve: okay, impeach him. i heard burisma. pete: i don't like your foreign policy on ukraine. steve: the president referred to her as a never trumper. even though she is working for the vice president, his vice president. pete: we will have a lot of impeachment this week. we had a lot of impeachment last week. in between, there was a big thing that caught our eye especially here on "fox & friends." it was 6:30 on friday night. the president announced full pardons for two army soldiers and the restoration of the rank for a navy seal. steve: right. pete: we had matt golsteyn on the program on saturday. there he is matt golsteyn on the left did a full pardon from what he was facing from the army and then we had eddie gallagher on sunday who got his rank back for what happened, ultimately convicted for one thing, which is taking a photo in front of a corpse. but these are cases the president has looked at very closely. steve: right. pete: he feels like these troops were mistreated by the military justice system. thrown under the bus by the
3:06 am
obama administration. steve: right. pete: he is given a chance to right those wrongs. steve: we will have on the program with a world exclusive coming up this morning. pete: he was in leavenworth about 72 hours ago. he is going to be on our set in an hour and a half. ainsley: we saw video of him hugging his mom when he was released. he spent six years in prison and still had 12 more 20 go. steve: after the president did that military action which a lot of people in the pentagon did not want him to do. pete: correct. steve: they said look this is going to screw up our military justifiable system. joe biden who would like to have the keys to air force one tweeted this out trump's intervention in the military justifiable system to pardon service members accused or convicted of war crimes betrays the rule of law, the values that make our country exceptional, and the men and women who wear the uniform honorably. he is not fit to commands our troops. and just as you said, pete, you actually had two of the fellows who have received this presidential action on this weekend.
3:07 am
and they were talking about what the president has done for them. >> the president of the united states is paying attention. that he is not going to be backed off by, you know, institutional elements of the dod that are going to try to, you know, retain their ability to do certain things and force outcomes. and weaponize the military justice process. and then hide behind process. >> the president has shown the nation he has been a man of his word this whole time since he took office. he will wanted to instill confidence back into the war fighters of our community that we're going over there and doing the job. he didn't want them second guessing themselves. he wanted them to know that he had a president who had their back. ainsley: they get to move on with their lives. pete: huge. across the board i have heard from people, staff sergeants, majors, colonels, who say thank god this
3:08 am
commander-in-chief sees the fact that the benefit of the doubt should go to the person who is pulling the trigger in those gray zone moments where things can go wrong and things can go right. it's some politicized members of the gencorp, democrats, others like joe biden who say no, no. we had it right. if you look back at how we fought isis with our hands tied i had behind our back or hand cuffed and traded five terrorists for traitor bowe bergdahl, bradley manning's sentence commuted. the priorities of the obama administration. isis being a jv team. steve: who winds up with the benefit of the doubt. pete: why did they end up with the benefit of the doubt as opposed to matt golsteyn and eddie gallagher known as the best navy seals. train these guys. clint lorance brand new platoon leader in afghanistan. bad moment and we will throw away the keys. ainsley: you say some guy in washington is making decisions in air conditioned office about what our men and women are going to do overseas. they have to make split
3:09 am
decisions in a matter of moments when they have to decide what they are going to do in that situation and some guy in washington or some girl in washington is telling them what they did was wrong. pete: on third, fourth or fifth tour. ainsley: right. pete: thank you, president trump forks seeing through the bureaucracy trying to keep us in this system. pretty cool. steve: speaking of pretty cool. kanye west was steamed up with joel osteen at his big lakewood church. yesterday morning, the service played like a traditional church service. kanye west was there he talked about his battle with the devil and mental breakdown and subliminal messages in the media. last night he had a performance that apparently sold out online. it was free. but you had to get tickets online. i think i heard somebody say it sold out in seven seconds. no kidding. tickets did pop up on craigslist. ainsley: service delayed because some people were trying to get in the door. steve: exactly right.
3:10 am
people were so excited to see kanye. a lot of people who have never been interested in church before, suddenly were interested. ainsley: god is using him. pete: joel was on stage with kanye west and asked him how god has changed his life. listen. >> i know that has been calling on me for a long time. and the devil has been distracting me for a long time. [cheers and applause] >> and when i was -- you know, at my lowest point, you know, god was there with me and. [cheers and applause] >> and sending me visions. and inspiring me. and i remember sitting in the hospital at ucla after having a mental breakdown and there is documentation of me drawing a church and saying, writing start a church in the middle of calabasas. i told you about my arrogance, cockiness already. now, the greatest artist that god has ever created is
3:11 am
out working for him. [cheers and applause] ainsley: it's wonderful. i think this is great. he has a huge following. a lot of younger individuals love him. so, they are coming to know god because of him. so many people are getting saved because of him. i never thought -- i watched joel osteen on sunday morning and i'm getting ready for church. i never thought i would see kanye west on that stage. pete: god works in mysterious ways. in this particular case a lot of people worried at the beginning is it pr stunt. steve: just to sell an album. pete: hearing him speak, demonstrate a true understanding of the gospel and how it has changed his life. ainsley: goes on to talk about how he has a responsibility as a dad. he was in church three times a week with his dad. two times a week with his mom. and he has responsibility to make sure his kids are raised in the church, too. steve: kanye referred to himself as the greatest artist god has ever created now working for him. ainsley: maybe needs a little humility.
3:12 am

and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. we spoke up and it made all the difference. ask your parkinson's specialist about nuplazid. steve: 9:30 eastern this morning. wall street set to open for the first time since friday's surging close. all three major indices brand new records with the dow topping 28,000 for the first time ever. ainsley: it is amazing. hear what this means for you and your wallet is host of making money on the fox business network charles payne. hey, charles. >> hello. ainsley: you have been saying this making a lot of money for america. >> i have tried my best to
3:19 am
keep people in this market for the last three years. i cannot believe how long the financial media has been and wall street has been and even now they try to tweet the story. oh, the market is up because of good talks on china trade. that's not why the market is up. by the way, there is $360 billion in tariffs in place right now for two years. they said we were going to crash. they said the economy would crumble. they didn't predict that wages would go through the roof. that home ownership would start to spike again. jobs would be 7 million job openings. they said it would be the exact opposite. the market suspect because the economy son fire. corporate earnings are killing it. absolutely killing it. and if you look at all the big winners last week. they were all mostly up because of earnings. nothing to do with china trade. in fact, the number one stock last week the company that does glucose monitors they advertise on our air. hopefully our viewers bought the product i only wish they bought the stock: you have a whole confluence of people against what president trump
3:20 am
has done on tariffs. have you got liberals to just don't want them to make it. but then you have the folks like at the "wall street journal" who said this would fail. and it's so hard to say well, maybe it didn't. it goes against this sort of conventional, conservative, economic orthodoxy that you can never use tariffs. not even as a last resort weapon and it's working. and they cannot say okay, maybe it's working. even today going to see somewhere out there the effects have been devastating. listen, no one likes to use them but it was -- it has been an amazing effect, the strategy in the meantime. our economy has done extraordinarily well and that's why the stock market is up a reflection of the economy. steve: sure, president trump, when he talks about that, he gets, you know, a lot of people go oh, thanks very much. but, instead, washington wants to talk about impeachment. we want to talk about the "new york times" headline yesterday. it was tantalizing how fedex cut its tax bill to zero. and that was really something. but then, you know, the guy
3:21 am
who runs fedex, frederick smith put this out. "new york times" published al factually incorrect story on the front page on sunday. i hereby challenge the publisher of the "new york times" and the business section editor to a public debate. the focus should be about federal tax policy and the relative societal benefits. anyway, challenging people to a debate. >> he also pointed out by the way "new york times" guess what you paid in taxes. zero. so, pot meet kettle. except you invested 118 million into the society and we invested $6 billion. i like to see them have this debate. pete: have it on your show. >> i would love. fred smith, economic hero of mine. let's go. i don't know if the "new york times" would show up. pete: keep getting it right. >> thank you. i just really really feel a responsibility for our viewers just don't let people spook you out of this market because they don't like policy.

3:27 am
20's i was robbed of one of the most precious relationships a person can have on this earth and that's the relationship with my mother. the thief that stole our relationship was pills, marijuana, and crack cocaine. and this isn't something that simply happened to me. from 1999 in 2017, more than 700,000 americans have died from overdosing on a drug. and there is so many folks who have faced this drug demon and i'm so thankful to president trump for making this a top priority in 2016 when he ran for president. he said that he was going to defeat this addiction crisis and he has invested $3.3 billion towards the fight. now, this isn't just a 5% drop that we have seen. if you look at the numbers overall, places like kentucky, ohio, west virginia, we are seeing numbers in reduction up to 24%. so i'm thankful for his efforts. ainsley: you wrote this in your new book in "taken for

granted" a lot of friends and family on drugs. people willing to do anything to get more. many have brothers in gangs who are in jail, sisters on crack, fathers and brothers who vanished. how did you get out of that, gianno, that's heart breaking to read. >> i write about that in my book "taken for granted" i will be honest. what changed my life is my relationship with christ jesus. that is legitimately the factor that put me before you today. nothing better than having a relationship with him that can legitimately save your life. i talk about that was the saving grace for me. also talk in my book taken for granted how liberalness this country have taken liberals for granted. whether a white person in an appalachian region. liberals have taken us for granted. 100 percent. we have a president in office right now changing the dynamic on that.

"now he's sorry." pete: flop on frisk. not just a side issue for former mayor bloomberg. this was one of his signature issues. ainsley: let's bring in dan bongino, perfect guest to respond to this.
3:35 am
dan, what do you think? >> yeah, having been a new york city police officer. this is why i wake up every day and thank the lord i'm not a liberal. they probably thank the lord i'm thought a liberal, do. the you know, typically wrong on everything. even when they're right about something they apologize for it. bloomberg the stop and frisk policy, by the way having been a member of the nypd and actually having lived it unlike bloomberg. he was a mayor but not a police officer, it worked. there was nothing illegal about it. frankly, nothing even unusual about it. the idea of what they call a terry frisk vs. terry vs. ohio case. a stop and frisk based on reasonable suspicion, a sound constitutional stop and frisk, guys, ainsley, is nothing new. the fact that new york city was a little bit more aggressive in looking for crime and keeping their eyes open for people who may have been involved in criminal behavior, it was a brilliant strategy to take guns and crime off the street. here's the news flash,
3:36 am
before it happened. this policy worked, bloomberg looks like a purely political animal by doing. this it looks weak. it looks pathetic, and i think it will backfire on him. remember, one more thing. is he trying to claim the moderate lane, too. this isn't the way to do it. steve: clearly, he thinks the road to the nomination would have to involve some apology, which he just did. what's delicious irony mr. bank, former mayor bloomberg has mocked joe biden. to apologize to voters to get on their good side. watch this flashback. >> it's just thought going to happen on a national level for somebody like me starting where i am. unless i was willing to change all my views and go on what cnn called an apology tour. [laughter] joe biden went out and apologized for being male, over 50, white. beto, or whatever his name
3:37 am
is, he has apologized for being born. steve: apparently he is in his apology tour. pete: dan, that was 8 months ago. he mocked it now he is it. >> one of these guys please grow a spine. it's not that difficult. just stand by. the data is on his side. the city was candidly a very dangerous place before the giuliani era. and then bloomberg took some of those policies and ran with it. just go out, forcefully defend it and here's one of the eye ron anies of this as well. not just that he is a phoney and fraud for apologizing for ripping people after apologizing. this policy worked and it saved minority lives as well. one of the communities he is probably pandering to right now to try and get votes in the primary has saved minority lives. i worked in the 75 precinct a largely black and hispanic precinct. it had a high crime rate it. had nothing with people being minorities and crime. it just was.
3:38 am
a high minority precinct. the fact that people got stopped and frisked in a pry 60 mostly black and hispanic had nothing to do with their skin color. it's a demographic breakdown of the precinct. he is being a fraud like everyone else. ainsley: headline in the "new york post." bloomberg's reversal doesn't change the truth about stop and frisk. it goes on to say, notice. he is apologizing for saving lives, simply because opponents effective policing managed to sell a narrative about one tactic's supposed impact. in other words, is he confessing his failure as a politician to counter a political attack. do you agree? >> yeah, i do agree. a court case where a judge that was incredibly biased by the way said well, there was a dispirit impact on the minority community who appeared to have been stopped more often. that case was such a joke and the judge was so thoroughly rebuked by everyone that the nypd wasn't even allowed to bring
3:39 am
demographic data. that's what happened there. what happened was when de blasio the communist mayor got in office he settled the case. went bake in court the judge would have been mocked thoroughly legally. that's what the writer of that op-ed is referring to there by the impact. the judge didn't even allow the racial data on the crime statistics to come not crime. which is important if you are analyzing crime data. a joke. pete: wild card is bloomberg could spend a billion dollars if if he wanted remake his image. >> tom steyer tried that too. losing to a south dakota bend mayor failed record in iowa. good luck with that strategy. steve: dan bongino, wide ranging today. thank you very much for joining us live today from palm city down in florida. ainsley: jillian, is here. she has headlines for us. jillian: college students' parents offering $10,000

3:42 am
city. janice: yes, it is a rainy day. a coastal storm just off the coast of new york city going to bring the potential for heavy rain, coastal flooding and snow on the back side. take a look at it. the temperatures are chilly over the northeast, parts of the great lakes. you can see it's 38 here in new york city. here's the coastal low we are talking about. most of it is going to remain offshore. we are going to get kind of a yucky day across the northeast. that is a meteorological term. you can see the rain that moves. in and then the snow on the back side of this as we get into tomorrow morning. but it will be out of here by tomorrow afternoon. so, not a whole lot of precipitation. it is going to be windy though by the way in some cases. gust us of 50, 60, 70 miles per hour off the coast. there is a look at your forecast precipitation. we could see some rain across arizona and some mountain snow over the northwest. so don't forget your umbrella. back inside. steve: that's right. we are just 10 days away from thanksgiving. jillian: hard to believe. pete: i can't wait.

offers. one of his biggest supporters rapper jay-z also reportedly not impressed, accusing kaepernick of turning a legitimate workout into a publicity stunt. here to weigh in super bowl champion g.o.p. congressional candidate and author of "why i stand" burgess owens. burgess, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. looking forward to chatting with you, my friend. steve: so what do you think happened? >> let me start off with some old school advice. you can't be -- you either have to choose to be pitied or respected but you can't have both. and in this case real men choose to be respected. i think collin is going down that path of being a martyr, supposedly and people feeling sorry for him and we just can't do that at the end of the day, it comes down to this. and i think the biggest problem we're having is we have too many people coming out of college thinking the way he does. a little background, again. he has been out of the game for three years.
3:48 am
that's the forever eternity in the nfl. he has the chance of playing millions of dollars playing six months out of the year shows up and want to choose dictate to his potential employers, time, place and when. it doesn't work that wait a minute i would say understand he is about to enter the real world now. real world shows you cannot be paid on your past or potential but paid on actually earning it. he is not earning it right now. that's why he is going to be out of the game in my mind for the rest of his life. steve: burgess, according to his side, they changed the venue at the last minute because the nfl wouldn't let -- wouldn't open it up to all media. he wanted transparency so everybody could see -- what kind of shape he is in. >> let me see if i understand. this he is interviewing for a job, if i'm correct, and asking people to pay him a lot of money, now he is going to dictate to them the conditions. it doesn't work that way in the real world. that's one of the down sides we're having in our colleges. i have to say this.
3:49 am
this is the result of our leftist college having these kids come out of school having no common sense elitism. so no, it's not going to work that way, collin. you will have to recognize now that the real world got to show up and earn every single day, play by the rules. if you don't, you are not going to have a job. that's the way it works nowadays for most of us. steve: there you go. when you talk to one of our producers yesterday, you said he has no interest in playing in the nfl. only interest making live lie hood out of being a martyr. >> yes. he is going down the route of being a leftist anti-american leftist. i'm hoping the nfl understands the fans are over. this we're done. it's now time to plate game. aus to play the game and come together with our teams without having politics enter it. so collin should would and

hours. we have busy stuff. clint lorance. a lot of people have been wanting to hear from him after the president pardon him over the weekend. he will be with us in 30 minutes. pete: that's right. steve: president trump slamming democrats for turning impeachment inquiry into what he calls a partisan weapon. pete: it comes as week two, goody, of public impeachment hearings getting underway. kristin fisher at the white house busy day in washington. >> always a busy day in washington. good morning. this is going to be another huge week for the impeachment inquiry over the weekend speaker pelosi said that shield love for the president to testify. give him an opportunity to make his case under oath. but for now, president trump continuing to defend himself on twitter. here is one of many tweets that the president made over the weekend. he said the crazed, do-nothing democrats are turning impeachment into a routine partisan weapon. it is very bad for our country and not what the founders had in mind. the president was also very active on twitter during the former ambassador to ukraine
4:02 am
maria yovanovitch's testimony last week. the white house says it did not amount to witness intimidation. but many democrats say it did. and here's where they believe it's coming from. >> i think part of it is his own as imposture. i think he knows full well that he is in that office way over his head and so he has to diminish everyone else. >> we are more than resistance now. we are a majority. we will send that charlatan in the white house back to the golden throne he came from. >> up next, tomorrow morning, lieutenant alexander vindman will testify. top ukraine expert for the national security council and so will jennifer williams. an aid to vice president mike pence. then in the afternoon kurt volker the former united states special envoy to ukraine. he will be in the hot seat and timothy morrison. the biggest hearing will arguably come on wednesday when the eu ambassador

gordon sondland testifies. of all the witnesses he is the one with the most known direct interactions with the president. and, remember, guys, he has already had to change his testimony once steve, ainsley and pete? steve: busy week. kristin, thank you very much. let's think about the nancy and chuck suggestion that the president, you know, rather than just tweet at them he could actually sit down in front of congress. i wonder if it would first be behind closed doors down in the scif in the basement of the capitol so they can figure out what he was going to say or we immediately get the big chair in the big room on tv? pete: if we are following protocol, steve, he would have to first rehearse. steve: you mean audition. pete: yes. in the basement to make sure that what he says is acceptable for public consumption. then they would first have to release the transcript because if they feel comfortable. steve: all or just part. pete: maybe the part that
4:04 am
makes the most sense. all lines up put you in front of the camera ways and means. intelligence committee doesn't look good enough tv. move it over to ways and means where adam's chair is higher and rigged the rules for the whole hearing and a gavel he will smack you down if he doesn't like what you are saying. steve: you are not recognized, pete. pete: should have brought a gavel today. of course he is not going to do that. yet, they are trying to roll it out. ainsley: congressman jeff andrew, a democrat from new jersey, listen to what he said about it. >> i just don't think we are hearing anything new and real quickly, we must understand the importance and the level of what impeachment is hundreds of years of history. no one has ever been convicted of impeachment. and that's the point. we spend millions of dollars, in my opinion, tons of money, tons of time. tons of hurt. fraction a nation apart.
4:05 am
i haven' haven't seen this to ba good thing. steve: i was reading online of all the media coverage of president trump, according to the media research center 96% of it has been totally negative about the president. i saw a reuters poll that showed in october, 46% of the people they polled wanted to impeach the president. 46%. now it's 44%. within the margin of error. nonetheless, if the democrats were looking for a great big surge. pete: yeah. steve: it's not in that poll. ainsley: nancy pelosi says the president's actions are worse than richard nixon's. pete: don't worry though she is being prayerful about it. adam schiff this past weekend talked about being a part of the resistance and resistance must continue and supposed to chair this process. good on jeff van drew says i don't see high crimes and misdemeanors. you may not love it but impeachment? steve: last week, when they asked the former ambassador
4:06 am
what did he do? was it bribery? no. do you know of any crimes he committed? no. all right. pete: why are we here? steve: there you go. the "new york times" had a headline yesterday. it was quite tantalizing how fedex cut its tax bill to zero and in the story it said that fedex cut its tax bill from 1.5 billion to zero. the effective tax rate from 34% to less than zero. and the whole point of it was, you know, they utilized the trump tax cuts to get that. but what they said was the tax cut was supposed to encourage capital investment but the "times" didn't do that. that's -- rather, fedex did not do that according to the "times." after that story ran, you know, the guy who runs fedex is not going to sit that taking down. he fired back. pete: this is what frederick smith, the ceo of fedex said to the "new york times." the "new york times" published a distorted and
4:07 am
factually incorrect story on the front page of the sunday november 17th edition. i hereby challenge a.g. sulsberger, publisher of the "new york times" and business section editor to a public debate. focus of the debate should be federal tax policy in a relative societal benefit of business investments and you scrolled the prompter and i can't read any more of it. it went on to talk about lower and middle class pages and how this tax cut affected that you might ask yourself if you know anything about frederick smith he has been a supporter of republican and g.o.p. causes over the years. maybe that's the reason why the "new york times" decided to focus on fedex. ainsley: he founded the company. he said in 2017 they owed $1.5 billion in taxes. the next year, because of the president's tax cuts, they owed less than zero. brought tax rate from 34 to zero. steve: they did invest over $6 billion back in the company, which. ainsley: which only helps our country. he was on with larry kudlow
4:08 am
before he became the chairman of the national council. he had a radio show. he back in 2000 17 said the chairman of fedex. if you make the united states a better place continue to vest there is no question in my mind that we would see a renaissance of capital investment. pete: 6 billion back into the economy as opposed to 1.5 billion in taxes. how much money does the "new york times" pay in taxes? steve: according to charles payne, they paid zero in one year. pete: oh, zero. steve: that was in mr. smith's retort to them as well. meanwhile, over the weekend, all eyes were on atlanta because colin kaepernick apparently jay-z and the nfl had said up essentially an audition. ainsley: try-out. steve: for him to show that he was still in great playing shape. apparently all the teams were going to go see him. at the last minute he changed the conveniently you to a high school 60 miles away to make it open to all media because the nfl said no to having media present.
4:09 am
only 8 of 25 teams did show up. ainsley: people are questioning does he really want to try out or does he just want the press. pete: what are the motives? if you want to play in the nfl and the nfl has given a specific day at a stadium to do a tryout. 25 teams physically in attendance. the nfl is going to film it to send to all 32 teams. steve: sounds great. >> have his own wide receivers essentially not done. allowed to have a nike camera crew on the field to film a commercial while he is trying out. none of that is good enough because he insisted the media be inside. at the last minute he drove 60 miles away as you said. media was allowed to surround the venue. only 8 teams then watched him. lynch, see that t-shirt right there. he showed up in a country that kin-tay character t-shirt guy from roots. wants to make want to be activist or quarterback.
4:10 am
>> it was an opportunity no matter how you cut it to build a bridge to return to the league. 25 teams expressed their interest to come see the workout. and he didn't take advantage of it. now, history has shown that to move forward, it is most effectively done inclusively, to move from protest to progress and this was a moment missed. ainsley: all right. so now what does the nfl say? they say forget it. we are not giving you another shot. you are done. if you want to be an activist you can go do that. steve: they said they were disappointed he did not show up. we had burgess owens former super bowl champ with us about 20 minutes ago he said. this. >> collin is going down that path of being a martyr supposedly and people feeling sorry for him and we just can't do that he has a chance making millions of dollars playing six months out of year if he shows up and decides that he wants to
4:11 am
choose, dictate to his employers. potential employers time, place, and when. and it just doesn't work that way. this is a result of our leftist college, having these kids come out of school having no common sense elitism. he is going down the route of being a leftist anti-american leftist. i'm hoping the nfl understands that the fans are over this. pete: he has been and remains unrestricted free agent. any team could sign him at any moment if they want to. you look at what occurred on saturday, do you want that circus in your locker room? ainsley: no. pete: if you are in the business of winning games and building coherence on your team that's what it comes down. to say. ainsley: these owners want it to be family. they don't want guy to stand out and be an activist and have cameras in their face all the time. listen, if you want the job, have you got to show up for the job interview. if you don't show up, you don't get the job. don't complain when you don't get the team. steve: it was organized by
4:12 am

4:20 am
all your contacts. you know, it's an invasion of privacy, clearly. what could they do with that? >> well, here's the thing that's really scary. not only that tiktok has all of this information. but under chinese law, the chinese communist party can also get all of that information, which means, steve, they have got access to the personal information of millions of americans. teenagers, adults. they can build profiles on all of us and they can use it for ai, for instance. to help train their ai technology, which we know the chinese military is doing. it's just crazy the amount of information that the communist party can get and that's why i have a new legs that would stop that. steve: tell us a little bit about your bill. >> the legislation would prohibit tiktok from transferring any of our data to the chinese communist party or to any entity in china. and it would also, in the future, prevent chinese companies from buying american ones without state department approval when
4:21 am
they are a security risk. steve: is it just tiktok that you are worried about or are there other companies as well that we have got riding around and our phones right now that worry you? >> well, there is actually a company called a face app., which is a company that -- an app. that's very similar, it takes photos and so forth. it's owned by a russian company. my bill would cover china, it would cover russia and any other country that the state department deems to be a security risk when it comes to our data and our privacy. steve: all right. interesting stuff. senator josh hawley, republican from missouri. josh, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: that's one app. i don't need on my phone now. millions of americans battle heart disease. a new study says sentence and bypass surgery may not help. dr. oz breaks down the results. you are going to want to hear it. he's up next ♪ chevy silverado hd.

4:26 am
best you can feel work as well as the best stent and best heart surgery that you could do? and they spent $100 million, 5,000 people and, you know, 47 countries to try to answer that question. after three and a half years they found that unless you had a specific kind of a life threatening blockage on or about just intractable bad chest pain. for example if you are about to have a heart attack like bernie sanders was having that's different. a regular person who has something discovered on a screening test and your chest pain is not that bad. and then it turns out you don't live any longer, and you don't have any less heart attacks if you have a stent or surgery. steve: we have got some video. you brought along. go ahead and do the play by play. >> i want everyone to watch this. this is what the average doctor and thinks there is a blockage. what are you going to do with the blockage. plumbing blocked put something in there stent, goes in there. push open that plaque, right? makes perfect sense, if i could have that stent placed in my heart artery? that fluid that's coarsing through that corrosive.
4:27 am
above and below that blockage. even though i stented that one spout. i haven't fixed the entire system. that's what ends up happening. yeah i fixed two or three places almost 2 million sentence placed in america. just because you placed those sentence to open up a few areas doesn't mean the rest of the areas won't close over. steve: that address what is have you been talking about for years. can you control heart disease or manage it essentially with diet and exercise. >> brilliantly proved. this and this is a program offered around the country people -- even before they have heart problem if you have it afterwards for sure. it seems to reduce the symptoms by 90%. just by. steve: 90? no pills in. >> no pills. if you add the pills, which have proven to be beneficial especially if you have had a heart problem. gargantuan improvement match that as surgery. all talking about healthcare how we are going to pay for it. probably would save a billion dollars a year by listening to this trial and acting accordingly. epidemic you have

overtreatment. some iments $2 billion a year for people could have less invasive treatments or medical approaches most importantly lifestyle alterations. why not do the most patriotic thing can you do. take care of yourself. you cost the system less money. you are there for your family. and makes sense. i think the -- we can fix it mentality should be one that's battle for health in your home in your kitchen, living room and bedroom. not in the
4:29 am
throw pal if you have a stress test done after that. or another -- look, like angstio gram. it doesn't show life threatening problem or chest pain. why would i mechanical if. if corrosive fluids remains in body it's going to rust the tubes even if you have had a placed stent and maybe people have to have another one placed because they never fixed the fluid.

i can't say enough. you know. i'm so happy to be an american. i'm just so glad we are part of this, you know, amazing country and it's got such great, you know. impassioned. you know, leadership. and it's just amazing. steve: clint, there are some at the pentagon who did not want this to happen because they feel like it would impact military justice going forward. what's your message to them? >> well, i think they responded at the pentagon that the president is indeed part of the military justice system; you know, there is a book out there called court-martial. and, you know, i read it a few months ago. and you would think i have had enough of court-martials. but so, you know, it sort of enlightened me to presidents all the way back to the beginning of
4:37 am
our republic have been getting involved in the military justice system. and there were a few presidents who even ordered courts marshall themselves. and, you know, there was one president who decided to be the convening authority himself. so he was the first line reviewer of the court-martial. so, essentially he was trying the person himself. so, you know, what president trump did is not unprecedented. but, to me, it's life-changing. to my family it's life-changing. to say our military it's life-changing. and it's just something that, you know, i told, you know, hunt county, because darn near the whole county was there. pete: that's right. i saw the video. >> yeah. i told hunt county the other night i said, you know, a soldier, a service member who knows that their commanders love them will go to the gates of hell for their country and knock
4:38 am
them down. ainsley: look at that? >> i think that's extremely important. you know that sir. you know, being in the military yourself, you know, and anybody who is not part of the senior pentagon brass, will tell you the same thing. i think folks that start putting stars on their collar, anybody that's got to be confirmed by the senate for a promotion they are no longer a soldier. they are a politician. and so i think they lose some of their values. and they certainly lose a lot of their respect from their subordinates when they do what they did to me, which was, you know, throw me under the bus. now, not to sound like a victim or anything. i'm not. i'm happy -- i'm actually proud of everything that happened to me. because it turned me into a better person and gave me the opportunity to get closer to this country. and to, you know, little tiny towns around the country all
4:39 am
over the place. they are just so -- they are packed full of awesome people. and it's just, you know, it really going through something like that. you know, they reach out to you through the mail. and it really reminds you of you who amazing this country is that we live in. and, you know, i just -- i can't tell you enough how much i appreciate president trump and vice president pence. and i just -- i love them. they are awesome. they are great people. ainsley: clint, you were sentenced to 19 years. six years into your sentence when you gout this pardoned and the timing is perfect because next week is thanksgiving. >> yes. ainsley: if the president is watching, what do you want to say to him? >> i love you, sir. you are awesome. you and your -- you know, i will say this, mr. president, i wish you had a better team around you. you need more people watching your back. and i think you don't have a lot of that. and that is absolutely unfortunate. and that infuriates me to no end. the american people elected you and, you know, my thing is if

you are working in the white house or if you are working in the united states government and you don't agree with something the president does, then go home. pete: well said. well, there is someone -- i have got to get your comment on think someone who wants to be the next commander-in-chief tweeted about your case and matt's case and eddie's case. joe biden. tweeted trump's intervention in the american military justice system to pardon service members accused or convicted of war crimes betrays the rule of law, the values that make our country exceptional and the men and women who wear the uniform honorably. he is not fit to commands our troops. >> i would say to the former vice president, that seems to be a partisan answer. that seems to be something that he is just toeing the party line on. i highly doubt the vice president, being the patriotic man with a son in the military like he had, i highly doubt that he really believes that and i
4:41 am
think that what he is doing is toeing the party line. he is doing what he thinks his donors and the people that are signing his paycheck are expecting him to do. and i think if he were to sit down with him face to face i think he would have an issue saying that face to face. steve: clint, did you think, as ainsley said, you were six years into a 19-year sentence. you probably were just planning on serving all 19 years, weren't you? >> well, not when president trump got elected. you know. pete: you saw that as a moment that your case could change? >> yeah. i knew it would. all of us did. and with respect. steve: well, what was so different about the obama administration? >> well, president trump is somebody that sees something that's wrong and fixes it and doesn't care whose feelings it hurts. and that's what i learned when i was talking to him on the phone. he said something along the lines of this is going to make a lot of people, you know,
4:42 am
irritated at me. but i don't care. and to tell you the truth, small towns across america, all those people i just told you i love and we all love, they loved that. that's what they want in their commander-in-chief. that's what i want in my commander-in-chief. somebody that will see something that's broken and fix it. the military justice system is absolutely broken. we have got people like first sergeant john hatly still sitting in fort leavenworth. it's absolutely broken. i still see people sitting in fort leavenworth. president trump is not going to give up on them. pete: what's next for you? >> i don't know. i'm currently home also and jobless. [laughter] >> this is my only set of clothes by the way. i wore my dad's overhauls up here to new york city. trust me, i look very out of place. i don't know, i guess we will have to see what comes next. ainsley: what was the first thing on friday when you got out? >> ate pizza. president trump had so much flack from the other side that
4:43 am
he was, you know, waiting for the right time. i think, looking back. the family went and bought pizza like four or five times they thought i was going to get out four or five different times. they ate a lot of pizza. i ate it once. it was great. it was the best pizza ever. pete: members of your family are off camera. they have been up here every step of the way. pete: you wanted them up here. we could only have you. group fight. we appreciate you spending time with us on fox and friends. >> ask everybody to go to uap.org, that's a great organization. and they are responsible for paying all the legal fees, the millions of dollars in legal fees that i racked up over the years. i don't have any debt because of that i could be in debt millions of dollars right now but they paid them. pete: now you can buy clothes. >> absolutely. steve: and pizza. ainsley: thank you for serving our country. >> thank you. ainsley: god bless you. reach you all the best with your future. >> thank you.

ainsley: here to weigh in is dr. darrin porcher. steve: good morning. ainsley: what do you think about him flip-flopping apologizing. >> begs the question of his leadership. if you make a decision whether it's right or wrong. you need to stand behind it. he is clearly not someone who has done. this he started out as a democrat, then he became a republican, then he became an independent. now he is back to being a democrat. how are we going to effectively elect this one, this person to be the commander-in-chief of this united states of america? i don't see it. steve: well, i saw comments from the police union that said that, you know, we told him back then that he had a problem with this because they -- they consider it a quota program, essentially. >> right. there was a landmark court case titled floyd vs. the city of new york. where they determined and established that there was no correlation between that and the precipitous drop in crime in new york city. so, as a result of that that should have been the harbinger for let's make some adjustments. he never gout on board with that
4:49 am
he believed in ray kelly and i guess the executive branch of the nypd at that point and their vision moving forward. but the truth of the matter is, it came somewhat ineffective and he mailed to make the aggressive changes and a as a result this is what we have. ainsley: what is so interesting in march he was critical of several 2020 candidates going on apology tour. listen to this. this is what he said in march a few months ago. >> this is not going to happen on a national level for somebody like me start where i am. unless i was willing to change all my views and go on what cnn called an apology tour. [laughter] joe biden went out and apologized for being male, over 50, white. beto, whatever his name is, he is apologizing for being born. ainsley: now he is doing the very thing that he is criticizing them of doing. he is apologizing. >> he folded like a chair. this is clearly what bloomberg was. but what's interesting bloomberg was the mayor for 12 years. so if anyone would have had the ability to see the

ineffectiveness of a policy, it would have been him. moving forward, hopefully americans will see this is not the person we want to elect the president of the united states moving forward. steve: all right. dr. porcher, thank you very much. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, his disappearance is one of the biggest mysteries in american history. now eric shawn is finding new clues in the search for jimmy hoffa. including a facebook message from a mobster son eric joins us live next. >> and i started thinking he knows or could know where the body is (contemplative synth music)

5:09 am
his own dollars to try to implement a gun grab which is never going to play. i think good news for all of us, maybe he spends the bulk of his massive fortune running for president, is having same success as because because did instead of trying to take legal firearms from law-abiding citizens that is a nonstarter in most of mechanic. pete: in the obama administration there was focus, traded bowe bergdahl, five terrorists for bowe bergdahl,. manning sentence was commuted. isis was jv team. clint lorentz on this couch moments ago a fresh interview out of leavenworth. he had strong praise for the president but the process he faced. take a listen to clint.

5:11 am
that takes guts. this president exercised the power of executive clem men any in many cases not because it would win him votes or favor because he took a honest look at it, he made a decision he believed was right. there are very few chief executives at the state or national level willing to do that. some have done it because they bailed their donorsç out. president said people who put on your uniform, put your lives on the line, i will not let you rot in prison because of political pressure. thank god for the president willing to look at a case, not care what the political consequences are, but say this is the right thing to do. pete: very well-said. apologize to you anytime, governor. steve: we would stand up and give you a standing ovation. it would screw up the camera shot. watch this. told you. pete: thank you, governor. >> have a good week.
