[squeals] carley: monster wave wiping out at dominican republic. guy was still holding his beer when he got up. priorities are in order for that man. rob: we got to go. "fox & friends" starts now. steve: 6:00 in new york city. we start this hour with an extreme weather alert. deadly winter storm hammering the northeast right now. snow, sleet, ice, rain will be up the coast and throughout the northeast and the midwest after pummeling several states, leaving seven people dead at this hour. brian: the storm causing chaos for thanksgiving travelers. remember, hundreds of flights can 1e8d because people had to get home and thousands delays. ainsley: delays and deaths. slick roads causing this car to slide underneath that tractor-trailer. that happened in niagara falls no. word on the driver of that car. heavy fog causing 60 cars to

pile up in 29 separate crashes down in maryland. steve: all on the busiest travel day of the year yesterday, moving into today. we have live team coverage this morning. janice dean is tracking the storm's path. we start with aishah hasnie. >> a lot of concerns this morning steve, brian, and ainsley. travelers left stranded this morning as hundreds of flights are cancelled. thousands are delayed. >> it seems like for the rest of the night they are cancelled there is a huge line over there waited for a while. >> i guess i'm frustrated. >> my flight got cancelled different flight going to atlanta and then to cleveland. it's a bit of a detour. >> here is the update this morning right now. nearly 6,000 flights are delayed and nearly 530 are cancelled across the u.s. as the severe winter storm pushed into the northeast. just looking at flight awares misery map at this hour, san francisco, boston

logan, jfk, those are the top three airports doing the worse right now. back to you. steve: all right. thank you, aishah. we are dispatching a crew out it newark. janice dean in the studio. 18 inches of snow in some spots in the northeast january japan absolutely. this storm originated from the west and caused all sorts of problems from the west to the central part of the country and now into the northeast. this low that brought over a foot of snow to parts of upstate new york is going to become a nor'easter. a coastal low. so you can see the past 24 hours the low will move out into the atlantic and intensify and we could see some measurable snow here in new york city starting this afternoon into the overnight. taking a look at it right now. the freezing rain is the problem. right? that transitioning up towards hartford. snow towards new england and upstate new york. and we have the light rain in boston. but. so forecast models say up to 10 inches in boston. wind gusts along the coast,

30 to 40 miles per hour. that's what happened -- this is going to happen into the rush hour this afternoon and measurable snow for new york city by tomorrow morning. we will certainly keep you up to date. but travel is going to be very difficult, if not crippling across portions of the northeast. ainsley: the timing on this. so many people are traveling to get home after they visited loved one notice other states. janice: the timing has not been good, obviously. >> busiest travel day of the year. because this is going to be a developing coastal low, the impacts are going to be felt later on this afternoon into the overnight and into. ainsley: i read most of the cancellations for the flights happened in san francisco. this effects the entire country. janice: another storm system that's going to move into the west coast. this one certainly could bring measurable snow across the northeast. you can see the travel delays across the west coast as well. more heavy rain and mountain snow. it's going to be very difficult to travel across

the northeast. steve: winter 2019. ainsley: be careful if you are hitting the roads. steve: i'm tired of turkey and the weather. brian: today the intel committee wil care could you late a draft of the impeachment report. i guess there are misspellings. on tuesday the intel committee plans to vote on the impeachment report. we know where that will go. thursday back in action. jerry nadler will hold impeachment hearings. at which time the president has been asked hey, do you want to send a lawyer there because you can be represented here unlike the intel committee. well, yesterday, last night, it became official. the white house answer is no. they expanded on that. steve: jerry nadler gave the president and his team a deadline. i have got to know by 6:00 p.m. last night and pat sip lone, the president's attorney made it very clear,

look, this is a sham. there is no due process. it's not fair. we are not helping you out this week. ainsley: they are particularly upset they said that jerry nadler particularly chose this date because the president is going to be at the nato leader's conference in london on wednesday when it starts. and he could be there in front of the house judiciary committee. brian: what bothers me, ainsley no, matter hot president is, internationally, you are supposed to hold your fire. and when the president was meeting at the united nations with all those world leaders and making some real progress internationally, that's when nancy pelosi prayerfully started pushing the impeachment inquiry. now nato schedule on the schedule forever. everyone knows is he going to london and everyone knows this nato summit in 4r50eu9 of what russia has been doing. and what turkey has been doing with russia, this is going to be extremely impactful. along with angela merkel leaving. the president of the united states goes over there and every other question is

about impeachment. ainsley: message america sees is this is working. is he concerned about our country. he is working with other national leaders. steve: right. ainsley: democrats holding everything up. a portion of that letter reads like this. it's a five-page letter but here is a portion of it. it says you have given no information regarding your plans. set arbitrary deadlines and then demanded a response. all to create the false appearance of providing the president's rudimentary process inviting the administration now to participate in annual after the fact constitutional law seminar with yet to be named witnesses only demonstrates further the countless procedural deficiencies that have infected this inquiry before its inception and shows the lack of seriousness in which you are undertaking these progdz proceedings. steve: five page letter look you will have all these witnesses on wednesday. know there will be four. ainsley: don't know to who they are. steve: for people looking in is it one of those fair things the republicans get two and they get to no it's

republicans get 1 and democrats get 3. republican from new york hakeem jeffries said at this point is he not sure who is going to show is up. chris: who are the witnesses that the democrats are calling? >> that's a question best directed at chairman nadler. the committee hasn't been provide that you had information yet. they are still trying to work out the details. brian: says we may may consider participating in the future but not right now. going to be like a lecture. they have three different lawyers come out historians come out hey this is why there should be impeachment and one say this is why this is not impeach being. if you were bored by the last one, really bored by this one. nobody has been converted. on the left no one has flipped and on the right no one has flipped. got the right scratching their heads. congressman america colin to come of california recommends the president should lend a lawyer but also said this. >> didn't use the delicate

language of diplomacy in that conversation, that's true. he also doesn't use smarmy talk of politicians. what you hear from donald j. trump is the blunt talk of a manhattan businessman. he says what he means, he means what he says. that's the only thing that's remarkable about that conversation. but he was entirely within his constitutional authority and was following the statute that congress adopted in granting aid to the ukraine. ainsley: saying intaskly let trump be trump. he was being the man the people elected him to be when he was on that call. steve: the intel committee is probably going to approve the report that is being reviewed today and kicked it over to the judiciary and then it looks like there is going to be a race against the clock to impeach the president on the democratic side by christmas. shall. ainsley: congressman doug collins ranking member on the house judiciary committee. is he going to join us today at 7:30. he says his first witness he

wants to call adam schiff. steve: all right. meanwhile, we have wanted to hear from lisa page. one of the so-called fbi love birds who she was it was revealed when the department of justice revealed hundreds of texts that she and peter strzok who she was having an affair with had a bunch of anti-trump tweets. well, isn't this curious? next week the ig inspector general report come out if there were any laws broken at the doj and the fbi. this morning the daily beast has an exclusive and lisa page, apparently she was upset that the president mocked her at a rally in minnesota in october. the headline is apparently there is no fathomable way i have committed any crime at all. and she tweeted out i'm done being quiet. a lot of people say why is she done being quiet the week before the ig report comes out? ainsley: she said she is furious with the president what he said in october.

so many are wondering why she didn't speak out in october or in the spring when all this came to lifetime achievement. steve: absolutely. steve the timing. ainsley: trying to get ahead of the story. brian: early indications the horowitz report less than explosive and a little bit disappointing for those think hoping to find out what was really going on in the fbi. all indication by the "the washington post" or the "new york times." it's not going to be. on her text. this is what i found the most interesting. she doesn't think for a minute that her texts with peter strzok too political. few texts that convulsed the republicans trrm trump wasn't becoming president. we know about that. she never really goes into -- she says i can have opinions no. one says affected my work. stayed quiet for years. hoping it would fade away. instead it's gotten worse. it has been so hard not to defend myself to let people

hate me control the narrative. i decided to take my power back. it's like being punched in the gut and recall. he is demeaning me and my career, it's sickening. it's the president's belief that she was part of possibly a plot to upend his presidency at a time and i think it's safe to say he is a little ticked. steve: you can understand that and also understand her frustration when the president calls her out. but she does say in the daily beast article that despite what the president says, she has done nothing wrong. brian: what i also find kind of amazing. we are looking into what's going on with the russian text. and all of a sudden we realize that george papadopoulos is speaking so maybe he says, page says the first the fbi gets the predication to look into trump by george papadopoulos. which starts the whole russia investigation. which goes back to the biggest questions people have. who was talking to george papadopoulos? where is this professor that

started this whole thing? where is the ambassador that meets him by chance in a bar? this goes back in to it. there is no follow-up question from the daily beast reporter. ainsley: don't forget they were talking about in those text messages the insurance policy. if hillary clinton had won, none of this would have even come to light. steve: peter strzok lead investigator on the hillary clinton email service scandal and he was lead investigator on the 2016 russia collusion with the trump campaign. so there is a lot going on there. stay tuned, we will know nor when the inspector general report comes out officially next week. ainsley: one more week. meanwhile on this program on very busy monday. fox news alert. moments ago president trump made a big announcement about tariffs. brian: we woke up stuart varney from a dead sleep and asked him to come on our so it had to talk about it. he was shopping, shopping, shopping. ♪ that's what i want ♪ that's what i want ♪ your love can

o. ainsley: this is a fox news alert. president trump making a major announcement tweeting just a few moments ago, quote, brazil and argentina have been presiding over a massive devaluation of their currencies which is not good for our farmers, therefore, effective immediately, i will restore the tariffs on all steel and aluminum that is ships into the u.s. from those countries. steve: what does that all

mean? host of varney and company host of fox business stuart varney joins us. stuart, the president also said the u.s. markets are up 21% since the announcement of the tariffs and the u.s. is taking in massive amounts of money and giving some to our farmers who have been targeted by china. >> also part of those tweets is the president wants the federal reserve to lower interest rates again. the back drop here is a rapidly rising stock market a booming economy. the news about brazil and argentina terrorist reimposed on the steel exports to the united states, that's not such a big deal in the scheme of things when considering china trade and european trade. the big deal today is this booming economy. and steve santa claus rally. >> year end rally or santa claus rally, call it what you like. $7.4 billion worth of online sales on friday black friday. that's the day we are supposed to go to brick and

can afford to spend more this holiday season. the wealth effect. steve: it's good news-bad news thing. people are spending more money. at the same time they are doing so much online, the person down the street, the brick and mortar store, you know, not as many people went in on thursday and friday. which means they are buying online. >> i just want to point out the contrast here. you have a boonelling trump economy. terrific holiday sales. and what have we got in washington, d.c.? these boring hearings about impeachment increasingly irrelevant and ignored by people who are getting on with their lives. steve: because it's political. >> don't you find this ridiculous? i mean, don't you? ainsley: ratings are low. brian: these hearings beginning on wednesday as well. and i think it's just. >> you think it's going to interrupts my show? brian: are you going to take it? >> are you kidding me? i want to intanel my audience. i want to watch and be

excited. i'm not going to put them asleep. brian: we are going to go to stuart varney. steve: i'm traveling over the weekend holiday not one person talked to me about impeachment. a lot of the people talked to me about the presidential campaign. nobody talked about impeachment. brian: where i traveled nobody talked to me at all. a little bit later. real quick, do you remember elizabeth warren saying something now on the campaign trail that president obama said. do you remember this back in 2012? >> if you have got a business, you didn't build that somebody else made that happen. brian: that went over like people thought came up short. that didn't stop elizabeth warren from saying. this. >> there is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. nobody. you built a factory out there, good for you. i want to be clear. you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate.

you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. you didn't have to worry that bands would come and seize everything at your factory and hire someone to protect against this because of the work the rest of us did. brian: what's wrong with these messages? >> i don't care for socialism. and i think that is absolutely flat out socialism. but i'm very pleased to see that senator warren is really slippinged in the polls. her medicare for all idea and how to pay for it with massive tax increases that went over like a lead balloon. refugee from that kind of thinking, that kind of socialism. and i do not want to see it in my adopted country. america. ainsley: saying if you worked really hard you owe me a part of that. >> isn't that ridiculous. steve: because you used the roads.

>> isn't that ridiculous? brian: want to watch the impeachment hearings, don't watch stuart. steve: we have them on the news channel. ainsley: students storming the field for a climate change protest at harvard-yale game. now next guest giving the school an f. cut. liberty mu... line? cut. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. cut. liberty m... am i allowed to riff? what if i come out of the water? liberty biberty... cut. we'll dub it. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ is so wide open. just put an extra layer for chilly evenings around the campfire. i want to feel that cool crisp air on my face-- but i want to be warm at the same time. can i just say i want it all?

steve: this is a fox news alert. three people have been arrested in connection with to the massacre of an american mormon family. nine people including six children were murdered while driving in mexico last month as you know. police say they were caught in the crossfire of two rival hotels. hours before that announcement, four police officers and 17 others killed in a gun fight with the mexican cartel just a few hundred miles from the texas border. to another fox news alert. rescue teams find a shoe in the search for a girl swept away by the floodwaters in arizona. it could belong to 6-year-old willa rawlings, pictured right there. who has not been seen since friday when her family's truck got stuck in swollen creek. her brother and cousin found dead all six other family members have been accounted for. the search goes on. and breaking overnight. china suspends the u.s. navy

research assistant at yale university. always glad to have you on. read your op-ed in the "new york post." why did you decide to write. this the reason i decided to write this is it's important to bring criticism to what i think is bad university leadership that's nabaling this type of behavior. and to be clear, i don't really think it's coming from the faculty professors, it's coming from the nonacademic bureaucracy that is suffocating the university with its leftist agendas and empowering students to do things like this b by inenbuoying them with moral sense of superiority. ainsley: you want to ruin a football game all these athletes worked so hard. so many fans just want to watch the game want to watch harvard vs. yale which your team ended up willing in double overtime yale. what are we watching? >> we are watching yale students and activists and harvard activists hijacking one of the most sacred traditions in college football. ainsley: did they get arrested? >> to the university's

credit some of them did get arrested. i think this is a step in the positive directions. i would like to comment the yale police department for handling the situation as best they can. but, it really is an example of deep rooted when students feel they can do something like this. ainsley: you wrote in op-ed you wrote about bubble wrapping. campuses are bubble wrapping our kids. preventing them from diversity and discomfort. how do you think it is healthy. >> yale university was born out of intellectual. enlightenment ideas came from intellectual diversity. and students need to be exposed to ideas that are uncomfortable to them to become better leaders. unfortunately yale is becoming saturated by a particular ideology. i think when you become saturated by one ideology it can stunt your emotional growth. ainsley: you didn't like the tactics here. play the video. watch a little bit of this and explain what's going on here. >> yes, ma'am. >> you came in here.

you to me. >> regardless of what we said, it hurts -- i don't want this to come across as the wrong way, it hurts your feelings and many people's feels. you can argue the word. i don't want to offend you buoy suggesting the wrong word it's more than your feelings. >> you cannot come in here and change things. this has been our home. gaslighting. that is what you are doing. ainsley: esteban, what's going on there. >> there happened a few years ago. i really think this tipped off the country troy what's going on at yale. what happened is the university a bureaucrat sent out email telling students be careful what type of halloween costumes they were wearing. and a professor at yale at the college who is the wife of the professor you see in this video, she sent out email basically sayin saying we are adults if you have an idea you confront it. yale students can't handle the challenge of confronting ideas that don't agree with their owner that might make

them uncomfortable. they encircled a tenured professor and proceeded to harass him for verbally harass him and insult him and call for his job. which eventually they were able to push him out of college. he is still a professor but he doesn't have that current position anymore. ainsley: read that op-ed "new york post." >> thank you, ainsley. ainsley: dishonoring the badge. starbucks firing a worker where giving a cop with a pig on it. now stepping in to honor that precinct. dan bongino is on deck with that patriotic message coming up next. getting settled. rewarded. learn more at the explorer card dot com. i'm a verizon engineer, and i'm part of the team building the most powerful 5g experience for america. it's 5g ultra wideband-- --for massive capacity--

cancelled and over 5,000 were delayed. brian: senior meteorologist janice dean has been scrambled because she is tracking the path of this storm. janice, it is winter. and if you have a four wheel drive car pull up that handle and go to four wheel. janice: excellent advice as usual, brian. the problem is this is coming off the busiest travel season in terms of thanksgiving travel, right? so we have had a couple of storms move the west coast that has moved over the central u.s. and now the northeast is getting socked. in we have a new storm moving into the west coast bringing heavy rain and mountain snow. this is going to be an ongoing situation over the next couple of days. the worst of it coming this afternoon into the overnight for the northeast of course. this is on top of the snow we received for the weekend. some areas over upstate new york and new england over a foot of snow and we could get additional amounts of over a foot. take a look at the past 24 hours. so we have this low that's moving across the ohio valley and then that's going to transition into a coastal

somebody who disungted have to worry about any of this is dan bongino. is he down in florida as you know fox news contributor, secret service guy. great book out. ainsley: no taxesy in the sunny state. brian: why are you taking the easy way out? >> sorry. i grew up in new york. i suffered through many blizzards. it was 80 here yesterday. it was nice and watching "fox & friends" on sunday morning in the sun on my deck. not trying to rub it in but i have been through it, folks. ainsley: do you have a guest room? >> sure. steve: dan, this is your topic. you have done a couple of books regarding what happened to this president and the deep state and things like that. now, the week before, the inspector general report at the department of justice comes out, the lisa page is breaking her silence in the pages of the daily beast. she tweeted out i'm done being quiet. and then she is quoted as saying i had hopes to stay quiet for years, hoping it would fade away.

but, instead, it got worse. it had been so hard not to defend myself to let people who hate me control the narrative. i decided to take my power back. like being punched in the gutted. my heart drops to my stomach when i realize he, the president, has tweeted about me again. the president of the united states is calling me names to the entire world. he's demeaning me and my career it. is sickening. what do you make of the fact that she is telling her story, finally, the week before the ig report comes out? >> yeah. lisa page is done being quiet. we were done being quiet a long time ago, too. she feels bad that the president is calling her names. is she serious? she was the lead fbi lawyer on the biggest political spying scandal in human history who has already said on the record, lisa page in her own words in a congressional hearing that when bob mueller was appointed, think about, this put this in perspective guys and ladies, put this in perspective, bob mueller is

appointed after a year of investigating the president and his team and she says under oath, hey, at that point it could have been literally nothing. so you moved from initial inquiry to a preliminary inquiry to a full investigation to the president and his team and you are appointing bob mueller after a year of investigating and you acknowledge in front of committee as the lead fbi lawyer on this case that you could have had, quote: literally nothing? and you are upset that the president hurt your delicate sensibilities by calling you a name? i mean is, this serious? do you understand the panic these deep staters are in about this ig report right now? that's why they are coming out and doing these stories. brian: kind of interesting. the one area that i thought you were going to focus on is when she came out and talked about how this whole thing launched, there was no spying she said two. things that happened in the late summer of 2016. the first, of course, is the fbi gets the predication courtesy of loose-lipped papadopoulos which starts the russia investigation. we learned about the possibility there is someone on the trump campaign

coordinating with russia. george papadopoulos an unpaid advisor who has met the president once somehow meets by chance with a professor that we can't find anymore, joseph mifsud and then leaks li by chance and this? >> this "new york times" story which which addresses these two points which is supposed to be some type of effort to glass light everyone and make you believe what happened didn't happen, actually says it happened. the "new york times" story, if you read it, which most people didn't, they just read the headline which is a propaganda effort says no evidence of spying. it then goes on to say if you read the story later on how the fbi spied and put spies in the campaign. now, it uses euphemisms and the euphemism game to call spies like, you know, all kinds of fancy names like fbi employees. steve: informers.

>> informers spies in common use of the language. and the "new york times" story confirms it. as for mifsud. if this whole case started with mifsud, this professor who is allegedly a russian agent and best you can do in the "new york times" story co-including with russian agent at least he wasn't fbi specific informant, if this is your best face forward you are in a lot more trouble. one more thing the story. they acknowledged they didn't vet steele appropriately and used it in 2017 and went on to renew the fisa three times despite will sources were garbage. that's why lisa page is panicking. brian: thee doesn't think her texts are too political ainsley: after she said insurance policy. >> read the text yourself about smelling the walmart support for trump.

>> listen to this viewership for th the debates have dropped by 8 million since the candidates took the debate stage in june. are these debates even worth it especially since candidates like mike bloomberg aren't on the stage yet. here is the president of the and ceo of the democratic polling firm. >> good morning. >> here is the problem for michael bloomberg if he wants to get onto the debate stage you have to have 200,000 individual donors. he has only got one donor, him. is he not going to make the

debate. is that going to hurt him? >> two thresholds you have to hit. one a certain point at the polling. is he a little bit below that the second threshold as you mention is the number of donors that he has. what we found in our work along with the firm will viewership is down when we look at the november debates is down from the october debate. steve: why is that? >> it doesn't give an opportunity for the candidates to fully be heard and it's a format that rewards the zinger over the substance that is hurting viewership on social media in the last debate. steve: in the beginning when they had 24 people and they had to divide it two nights. there were just so many faces in the crowd kind of like i only got to hear that one person talk for a minute over three hours. >> absolutely. the next debate is happening december 19th, a few days before the christmas holidays. what democrats need is a lot

more attention and a lot more engagement. the format is awkward. the time something awkward and very difficult for any of the candidates to break through problem for the dnc is they risk the debates becoming a side show where they matter less and less. steve: one thing that i noticed about the debates they are not asking very hard questions. >> again, this is a tv spectacle and there are not opportunities for the candidates really to be pressed on the harder issues that frankly too many people on stage in relation to bloomberg challenge is if the dnc doesn't change the rules, which they are going to look at right now and they don't have him on stage a serious candidate. potentially the nominee, they will hurt themselve themsef they don't open the process up and allow them on stage. steve: bradley, pleasure. >> thank you very much. steve: banning tackle football for children. one state wants to keep the kids on the sidelines.

brian: get, this new york city considering a ban on tackle football for kids under 12. is this the best way to actually good kids? is that this trying to put fear into children. bike riding has led to almost double the number of youth head injuries as football. parents are still growing more concerned. 48% say they would encourage their child to play another sport other than football. here with us right now with his take is former nfl player chris voyeur let that who played for the tennessee tie tantaros: so you didn't start playing until high school. you have no problem with kids playing at 4, 5, 6 and 7. >> no problem whatsoever. kids that young aren't moving fast enough. bodies aren't moving fast enough. parents are worried about it.

30% drop of participants football age 6 to 12 since 2008. 38% drop. that is tremendous. >> concerns are justified. gets a lot of attention. fear factor. reality is head injury are the same amongst boys sports or girl sports. you don't hear legislation about banning bicycle riding. but i do think that's been put into the game. what's been implemented into the game of football in terms of safety has really had an impact. targeting rules at both the college and nfl level which has bled down into the youth levels where if you hit above the head you actually get eject from the game. that's changed the whole game of football new programs like u.s.a. football which has the development model youth football which is endorsed by the american medical association for sport is the model for youth sports. it teaches competitiveness the right way and safe way

to play. uses the right equipment. all the tips and tools and tricks in place to make sure the game is safe so the kids can have fun. brian: where does this come from? brian: do you think it was a plan to take down the sport or legitimate concern? >> data shows that repeated blows to the head over a long period of time are actually going to cause damage. that's no big surprise. we have seen some really dramatic instances play out particularly with some of the professional football players. what's important is to play the game safely to follow the right model. take legislative hands. i also believe boys, 6 and 4. i single sport known to man. swimming, baseball, just like my parents had with me. brian: women's injuries in

okay. you only have 1% or 2% of flights cancelled at this point. the delays. everything guess worse as the day goes on. here in newark, united hub. big airline here. huge at this airport. this airport saw 46% delayed flights yesterday on sunday. so, match that with everybody coming home for thanksgiving. i mean, have you got all these people trying to get home. one of the worst travel days of the year under good conditions. then have you got these nasty storms. there have been storms all over the country. you had 45% at jfk. 43% delayed flights yesterday at laguardia, which is funny that laguardia ends up being the best because laguardia is usually a disaster under good conditions. and then up in boston, to our north here, you had about 22% delays yesterday in boston. they did a little better than the new york area. the storm hadn't quite gotten to them yet. we caught up with travelers talking about just how much of a mess it is to have this kind of a situation when you are trying to get back home from the holidays. >> seems like the rest of

the night they are cancelled there is a huge line over there i waited for a while. >> frustrated because i have coming up soon. >> my flight got cancelled. atlanta and then to cleveland. it's a bit of a detour. rob: so 66 flights here at newark cancelled yesterday as i said about 45% delayed. it's going to be another busy one today a lot of people didn't make it to work today. a lot of people still trying to get home. janice will talk to you about the storm today. coastal low. starting to rain, sleet snow here at this point. steve: it's the 1-2 punch. thank you, rob. brian: hopeless feeling. you are in charge. helpless feeling. don't get mad at the airline. innothing can you do. ainsley: worse when you are trying to get to your thanksgiving dinner table. at least it happened after thanksgiving some people have died there was like a

60 car pileup down neampleted janice, what's the latest? janice: so as rob mentioned the storm is transitioning. it's going to be a coastal low over the next couple of hours and strengthen over the atlantic. look at the snow we have received over the last couple of days across the west. the northern plains, the upper midwest and even the northeast here so on top of that why have more snow to come 12 to 18 inches up state new york and new england. this is what we are dealing with we have that primary low moving across portions of the ohio valley and then we have got the freezing rain and the sleet that's mixing in and the storm comes offshore and starts to strengthen into our coastal low. as rob mentioned, it looks pretty good right now. we already have delays in philadelphia and that is going to stack up throughout the day today unfortunately because the storm is going to crank up. current wind gusts 30 to 40 miles along the coast here. start to see that snow move into areas like new york city and boston overnight

tonight. we could see significant snow totals as we go through the next 12 to 18 hours. certainly north and west of new york. keep you posted and you are right, we just have to sit and wait and watch the weather forecast and go to brian's house. steve: absolutely. brian: no -- sure you can come. steve: janice, in it was a couple degrees cooler gigantic messy. rainy here in new york city. janice: absolutely. we are going to see some snow overnight tonight. as you mentioned along the coast that's where have you warmer temperatures. brian: bring two pairs of shoes. if you have brand new shoes bring other shoes. is that something you would say? janice: i'm glad you told us that because that's exactly what i would have said. ainsley: why would you originally say no she can't come to your house. brian: i changed my mind. i realized i was on television. steve: big storm and going to keep an eye on it. j.d., thank you. brian: "time" magazine does this story interview with president zelensky. he loves to talk much like

this president. the president of ukraine, about everything going on. the challenges of his country. the challenges with russia. and the controversy with the america. steve: exactly. the reason he sat down in his office with "time" magazine and some of the reporters from. so biggest papers in his area is because the first round of peace talks with russia will happen in paris next week. of course, that's to end the war which has been going on five years with russia. he says i do not expect much out of it. he says he does not, of course, trust mr. putin. but, all eyes here in the united states are on the president of ukraine regarding our president and whether or not there was any quid pro quo. ainsley: is he doubling or tripling down. he said i never talked to the president of a quid pro quo. that's not my thing. i don't want us to look like beggars. but you have to understand we are at war. if our strategic partner then you can't go blocking anything for us. i think that's just about fair news. it's not about quid pro quo.

it just goes without saying. brian: he said for the last two months he didn't know anything about the aid was frozen. now that it is he doesn't like the fact that it was. i guess he hopes it wouldn't. he doesn't expect much from the european partners although he appreciates what germany and france have done in setting up and being the mediator with vladimir putin. putin is meeting with zelensky which shows real progress and maybe shows it's costing russia a lot of money, too. they are going to do a prisoner exchange talking about that and possibly what zelenskyments is for them to get out of these two provinces they are in right now and dare i say get crimea back which i don't think is going to happen. important for him to say that he says we are going to get nowhere with without u.s. pressure on russia. that is true. ainsley: reporter asked him about the importance of the u.s. supporting ukraine. he said we want them to help us and understand us. and we want them to see us as a key player. steve: sure. it's interesting timing the fact that he would come out and say there is no quid pro quo. this week as the house intel

committee hands to the house judiciary committee their report on impeachment. it's also curious, the timing, the fact that next week as we told you last week the inspector general report from the department of justice is going to look into and reveal their 500 page report on whether or not any laws were broken or shortcuts were done in investigating the trump campaign in the 2016. also curious is because that is coming out next week, after all this time in the public eye, lisa page, half of the so-called fbi love birds. she has broken her silence coming out and speaking to the daily beast. she says in a tweet i'm done being quiet. their headline says lisa page speaks. there is no fathomable way i have committed any crime at all. isn't it curious that she would say that this week when the report comes out next week? ainsley: she said i stayed quiet for years hoping it

would fade away instead it got worse. it had been so hard not to defend myself to let people who hate me control the narrative. i decided to take my power back. it's like being punch dollars in the gut. my heart dropped to my stomach which i realize he has tweeted about me again. the president of the united states is calling me names to the entire world. he is demeaning me and my career. it's sickening. you have to understand from the president's standpoint she was trying to, it sounded like in these text messages, rig the election. they had. steve: had it in for president trump. ainsley: had an insurance policy. saying degrading things about the walmart shoppers who vote for president trump. brian: if you have an affair that's between them and their family. i think what they were saying to each other is what people are focused on. they were actually speaking openly about their partisanship. she says i didn't engage in any sort of partisan politicking but have an machine and staring the opinion publicly or privately with another person is squarely within the permissible bounds of the hatch act.

i you know i'm a federal employee but i retain my first amendment rights. when you see action and talk about insurance plan and put it in text on government issued bleable or device. how did this happen? how did you end up spying on a presidential nominee who became president-elect and then you look at the people behind it and they talk how much they hate the guy. and they are in charge of investigating the guy. why wouldn't you be upset at those two people and what their motivation. ainsley: shouldn't have done. this wrong to do this. government phone. brian: ainsley what i would have done in the conversation listen, do you understand -- i want her to answer. this do you understand how the president feels as though that you are against him because you said it? she said these are just a small portion of my texts. so what? i don't control how much you text. what's in there is damning. don't tell mee that's staying within your job purview. steve: i think a lot of people in washington, d.c.

might not agree with the people of the united states. but just the fact that they were caught up in the confluence of when they're the investigators and you read those text messages. steve: keep in mind it was the inspector general of the department of justice, michael horowitz who ultimately said do mr. mueller, look at peter strzok he has these texts with lisa page. he should be bounced off of your team and he did. that's how we found out all about him. dan bongino was with us about 40 minutes ago and he says he finds it ironic that lisa page says she is upset that the president has called her out. here is mr. bongino. >> lisa page is done being quiet. we were done being quiet a long time ago too. she feels bad that the president is calling her names. is she serious? she was the lead fbi lawyer on the biggest political spying scandal in human history. you moved from an initial inquiry to a preliminary

inquiry into a full investigation into the president and his team. and you are appointing bob mueller after a year of investigating and you acknowledge in front of a committee as the lead fbi lawyer on this case that you could have had, quote: literally nothing and you are upset that the president hurt your delicate sensibilities by calling you a name? steve: so, anyway, she is obviously trying to restore her good name. we will see what the inspector general has to say about it next week. meanwhile peter strzok was demoted. he is now in the hr department at the fbi. brian: it's amazing -- i thought he was under criminal referring. amazing he could keep his job. i didn't know peter strzok was still on the job. he is in the hr department? brian: i thought he was gone. steve: he wants his original job back. brian: wow, carley shimkus, you still have a job. carley: i hope. so my i.d. did work. i hope i'm in the right spot. brian: that's how you know. carley: start off major

update on horrific story here. three people arrested in connection with the massacre of an american mormon family. nine people, including six children were murdered while driving in mexico last month. police say they were shot and killed after being mistaken for a rival drug cartel. hours before that announcement, four police officers and 17 others were killed in a gun fight with the mexican cartel just a few hundred miles from the texas border. today the supreme court will hear arguments in a case that could have major implicationimplication on the sd amendment. it centers around a new york city ordnance which forces residents to keep their handguns within city limbs. residents challenge the ruling arguing they wanted to take their guns to shooting ranges and other places outside the city. the supreme court has not heard a gun rights case in nearly a decade. now to a fox news alert. and a live look at outer space. right now, two astronauts

this particular terrorist, who was killed by law enforcement with this recent attack had previously been sentenced in 2012 for plotting to blow up the london stock exchange. steve, that's not a small thing. deciding to blow up a stock exchange requires planning and logistics, requires weapons. and obtaining explosives. these things are accessible in the european union as we saw in spain and london previously. not only is this law stupid and it's silly, but. >> steve: boris johnson said 74 convicted terrorists have been released early. i have heard people say the problem is over there they are treating these terrorists as if they are

criminals. shouldn't terrorists be treated differently because they are ideological and it's hard to rehabilitate them and they should never be released early? >> yeah. the argument is that what they are trying to do in the u.k. is deradicallize them and then give them the ability to get out halfway through their release, which is what they are claiming was the reason why he was able to hit the street and carry out another terror attack. the problem with that argument is you have non-terror experts now conducting and passing laws on terrorism and so what happens is these prosecutors and these lawmakers who are coming obviously from the opposite opposed side of view here think that comparing them to criminals is really the only solution when in fact it's very different. you cannot deradicallize a culture that has gone through such a phenomenon where have you extremists willing to kill themselves. steve: okay. >> it's a dangerous way to

frame this thing. steve: aaron, you put it so well. thank you very much for joining us today from l.a. >> thanks so much. steve: meanwhile they voted democratic. now they support trump. >> democrats famous for walking away from his party coming up next. ♪ do you have concerns about mild memory loss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

hoping to repeat last year's so-called blue wave of swing state victories in next year's presidential race. they are saying they want to citizen 2018 but will it stop here. ainsley: a "new york times" siena college polls show two thirds of battle state voters who chose president trump in 2016 but selected democrats in the midterms say they are going to return back to the president in 2020. joining us now is former democrat and founder of the #walk away campaign brandon strakka. hey, brandon. >> good morning. ainsley: what does it mean? >> it means several different things. first of all, it's not unusual as we know for voters in the midterm election to vote for the opposing party for the sitting president. a lot of people like to strike a certain amount of balance in their government and make sure sitting president's party doesn't have too much power, too much control. we also have to bear in mind this was a very unusual president in many different ways. this was a president who came into office without any political background of any

kind. something very new. and the media was creating a large amount of hysteria saying, you know, this was an unprepared president. this was unprepared candidate on and on and on. now people have seen the president has done an incredible job the economy is better than ever. unemployment record all-time low. minority groups are doing fantastically in this country. not to mention the fact that many voters in the rust belt who voted for obama twice did not see that hope and change as they were hoping to see and they're seeing that now under president trump. so i think there is a lot of different factors that go into this. brian: also factor in maybe they're looking at the other side and saying i don't see somebody that could do a better job. take a look at some of the battle ground states and see where you think for example, in michigan, biden beats them by one. sanders by 3. trump beats -- trump was up by 4 on elizabeth warren. that's -- mean obviously by definition within the margin of error. you see how tight it is in

pennsylvania. he beat sanders. barely trailing biden. he hasn't really started competing yet but beats warren who is falling like a rock. in wisconsin it's basically a dead heat. see how close it is. this despite the series of hit books against him and series of the negative press. and the impeachment hearings going on. >> absolutely, something else we need to bear in mind, too. people that voted for trump in 2016 willing to vote democrat in 2018 in the midterm election. you have to ask yourself, if they voted for trump in 2016, did they vote democrat in 2018 hoping that these people would impeach the president that they voted for in 2016? probably not. they are seeing that the candidates that they voted for in the midterm elections have done absolutely nothing in the government. they shut the government down in 2018. they have gotten very little accomplished other than trying to impeach the president and spending tens of millions of dollars on phony investigations. this is not the reason why people put these elected these people in 2018.

and obviously people wanted president trump, they are seeing the results. they are feeling the results in their every day life and i think they are going to go back to the polls and vote for him again in 2020. ainsley: we will. thank you so much, brandon. >> thank you. brian: former democrat who walked away. telling jerry nadler president trump won't take part in wednesday's impeachment hearing. he won't send his lawyer. ainsley: congressman doug collins knows someone they should be hearing from. it's adam schiff. the congressman explains next. ♪ ♪ ♪ hi honey, we got in early. yeah, and we brought steve and mark. ♪ experience the power of sanctuary

we can't even prepare. the republicans get to choose one witness and then the democrats get to choose three; is that right? will who will your witness be. >> we are still preparing our witnesses well. we are trying to figure out if we are going to get more than one witness. they have said over and over we want to make this fair. only time the president has even attempted to be able to have fairness in this process. we are trying to normal committee hearing or maybe get at least one more witness out of this. then there is something else i want to go past wednesday's hearing. chairman nadler sent us a letter he wanted to know who we wanted to call witnesses. who we wanted to have depositions from. and all this kind of stuff. yet he will not tell mee are we going to have further hearings? are we going to have fact witnesses actually show up? is adam schiff going to sit under oath and actually again to answer questions that he has hid from for a long time now while they have had their hidden testimony and then had their public side show. jeremy nadler rushing. this chairman schiff and speaker pelosi running the committee again we have no idea.

it's about like me telling y'all i want you to go into the kitchen and bake me something. you say what do i have to bake? it doesn't matter just go bake something. tell me what you want. i don't know what i want. this is how bad it is. brian: they have a deadline to get the baking done. that seems to be a sprint. q. poll and gallup poll trending away from democrats. got to be a concern. you have election coming up no. matter what party you are. in q. poll 45% say they should be impeached. it was 48%. now gallup poll they said 58% were in favor of impeachment that was in october. now in november only 48%. lost four points. this was their best swing. they put all their guys out there. they had the transcripts. they knew of what they were going to say and the women. they have their articles of impeachment that's going to be offered. in come the academics and all the sudden people are going to go whose mind is changed? this is trending away. evan bayh said yesterday as a democrat they should look for off ramp. off ramp would be censure. do you recommend that, too?

>> no, i do not. what did he do wrong to get censured that would be like just take him because we want to get the democrats to like us. you don't give in to people who are viciously going after you for no reason. this president has done nothing wrong. should not be censured. they're not looking for off ramp. i heard something yesterday from a member from both the judiciary and intelligence committee well if the president wants to mount a defense, now is his time. he has not had to defend anything because he has done nothing wrong. what they're searching for now is a way out. what their way out is this. how about drop the sham impeachment hearing. why not go back to passing usmca. why not actually legislating and care about the american people instead of your voters how promise new november 62016 that you are going to impeach this president. get back to doing your job. that's the off ramp if they will take it. ainsley: the president is overseas. steve: the way you describe it congressman, it does not look fair and the american people don't like that. one other story we wanted to ask you. but lisa page one half of

the fbi love birds as the president has referred to them. the inspector general report department of justice coming out next week if any laws were broken or shortcuts taken regarding investigating the trump campaign and she has chosen the week before the ig report to come out and break her silence. the daily beast headline says there is no fathomable way i have committed any crime at all. and she says essentially i'm done being quiet. what do you make of the timing regarding this? >> well, it would have been better if she had done been quiet whenner and the corrupt cabal comey, page, baker were actually undermining the president and undermining the campaign and department of justice and people's actual faith in the department of justice. it's amazing now how all these folks have started coming out as the horowitz report gets closer and durham continues his investigation how they are trying to paint themselves is concerned patriots or concerned citizens. we have already seen the transcripts and text messages. we know they have hated this president and despised even

more the people who voted for him. this is another attempt to try to deflect attention before what might be a very bad week for them next week. she should have thought of this a long time ago before she decided to say that her reputation was going to be ruined. what about reputation of the department of justice when when they were undermining an election and undermining an investigation. brian: she says she has freedom of speech, give an opinion as long as it doesn't affect her jonget that's where the rubber hits the road. not many people on the right are convinced it didn't affect her job. we want to get to the bottom of that see if horowitz and durham can do that afterwards. if can be exonerated good luck. ainsley: impeach this week and wh horowitz next week. good luck: thank you, sir. brian: go to extreme weather. we have a alert. deadly storm harming the northeast with snow, sleet, and rain. steve: all right. janice dean is on fox square, i think, with other own, yes, it's pretty out there but pretty wet.

ainsley: might be raining. janice: raining, sleeting kind of thing along the coast. a little too warm for snow. later on this afternoon and this evening we could get some snow. take a look at the maps and i will show you where the system is by the way the northeast experiencing delays. we also have a new storm system in the west coast bringing along the coast and big mountain snow especially for the syria. past 24 hours. so we have this low that's going to transition off the coast and become a nor'easter or a coastal low. we have had freezing rain for several hours in connecticut. cloudy with some spritzing here in new york and then we have all-snow event north and west of the city. boston, you could see several inches of snow as this does transition and gets colder in the next couple of hours. there is the additional precip and by the way we have already experienced over a foot of snow in parts of upstate new york and new england. here is the additional snow as we go through the afternoon and in to the overnight. couple of inches here in new

york city. boston, anywhere from 3 to 6, maybe 7 inches of snow. again on top of what we have already seen, we could see the potential for more plowable snow. and there's your forecast today. the central u.s. looks spectacular. so they get to breathe a sigh of relief while both coasts deal with storm systems. it's going to be delayed some and some flights will be cancelled certainly across the northeast. back inside. steve: big haskel again today. thanks, j.d. horrific gun fight south of the border. 21 people killed. 21, including four police officers in a battle with mexican drug cartels. ainsley: look at the bullet holes. retired ice director tom homan says the u.s. needs to help or the violence will get worse and is he going to join us next. travel rewards.sualize i receive travel rewards. going new places! going out for a bite! going anytime. rewarded! learn more at the explorer card dot com.

you're going to, 35% of united's flights were delayed as airline in total, 35% of flights. today we have seen 567 delays, today is better, the number on cancellations was 950 for domestic flights in the united states or coming to the united states i should say, over laguardia in the new york metropolitan area, worst of big storm that has moved through the country, affected starting california, midwest, laguardia had 43% delay flights, bit worse than jfk and newark, 66 canceled flights at newark, holiday travel season, talk about the worst time if for nasty storm that janice will tell you about to come through, the day that everybody is coming back from thanksgiving, the airport will

kentucky, we will be headed to talk with nato partners, we've done amazing work over our time in office to get nato to step up those countries to spend more money to secure, to secure themselves and to secure the world, we are proud of what's been accomplished under the trump administration at nato. ainsley: what do you make -- >> $130 billion. i was going to say, yeah, about $130 billion in increase sending so far, several hundred billion more in increased spending in next 3 to 4 years, this is direct result of president trump making it clear to help secure their own people. ainsley: phase 2 of impeachment begins on wednesday as house judiciary will be calling witnesses and now talking about impeachment, the president is in london as you're talking about for the nato's leader meeting and attorney sent fiery letter, 5-page letter to jerry nadler and folks on that committee and said, look, the timing on this,

you obviously are doing this on purpose. they said that -- the letter said nadler purposely scheduled the hear that is the president would be away, what do you make of the timing? >> yeah, long tradition that we support presidents when they travel overseas to do their work for them to hold hearings back here in washington to distract america's president from his important missions overseas, these are some of the most important allies and partners on keeping american people safe and secure, i regret that they are holding hearings at the same time and the president and national security team will be traveling to europe and london, it's very unfortunate. steve: yeah, once upon a time politics used to end at the water's edge, that's not today. mr. secretary, the president of ukraine spoke to time magazine and made it very clear, no quid pro quo, here is part of his interview, he said, look, i never talked to the president from the position of quid pro

quo, that's not my thing, i don't want to look like beggars, we are at war with russia, if you're a strategic partner you can't go block anything about for us, it's about fairness and not quid pro quo, just go without saying, your comment about that? >> i certainly understand the ukrainian leadership wanting assistance from the united states of america, in fact, the ukrainian leadership wanted defensive lethal assistance from the united states of america for many years during president obama's time and he refused each and every to provide that assistance, now, this administration not once, not twice but now 3 times has provided the weapons, the defensive system that is the ukrainian military needed to defend against russian activities and we have been relentless no pursuing strategic objective with supporting ukrainian people and their capacity to defend themselves, i'm proud of what we have done,

i certainly understand that president zelensky wanted more and faster. >> right, are you under the belief that zelensky is doing the types of things that makes you think he's a reformer that low you to -- that allow you to support him because ukraine is the stop of russia from them claiming provinces an reestablishing the soviet union, do you believe zelensky is the guy? >> brian, it's a step forward, no doubt about that. he's working hard and digging in, we are providing assistance to help fair that corruption there to make this a place where the ukrainian people can be proud of their democracy and absence of corruption. there's a lot of work to do, there's no effort on anyone's part, president zelensky would say the same thing, we are happy

about that and continue to support his efforts to do that. ainsley: prime minister of london says that 74 convicted terrorists have been released early, somehow that happened and then fast-forward and you have people that are -- that are being killed by one of those men who was released too early stabbed to death on london bridge, how does that happen? >> you highlighted a problem that we have frankly all around the world, countries have not updated terrorism laws to reflect post 911 world, people who commit terror acts can't be brought back into the country, judicial system can't handle them, therefore they won't take them back, presents risk all across the world and when they do bring them back laws don't reflect the severity of the attacks, the severity it poses to the world, you see people not being convicted, people being released too soon, we saw what happened in the united kingdom this past week, the same kind of

risk face us all across the world and we've asked countries from asia to africa to the middle east to update their terrorism laws to reflect the severity of the asks, the risk to the people and the risk to the world, remains awful a lot of work to do. steve steve you got slammed regarding sanctions, secretary pompeo admits u.s. #economic terrorism on iraq to starve and medical supplies to kill innocent citizens, is that what you're up to? >> well, the challenge that iranian economy is as a result of iranian leadership, nothing to do with the sanctions we have put in place, the iranian leadership has failed to support the people, continues to fail to support their people, it's important to note and world should know that medical assistance, supplies are expressly permitted to go into irans, sanctions don't impact those items, to claim that somehow american sanctions are

denying medical products for the people of iran is foolish and to deflect catastrophe that iaotola has been for the iranian people. brian: and some would argue that -- and some would say that there are more -- more unrest there now than any other time since the revolution, in fact, the word is they experienced deadly political unrest in 40 years, began 2 weeks ago with sharp increase of gasoline prices within 72 hours they just start killing protestors but the outrage hasn't stopped, some are calling for the overthrow of the government, we watched as president obama did nothing during revolution early on in the administration, he did not want to pois tennessee nuclear -- poison the nuclear negotiations, what will you do of not becoming the target of

the unrest? >> brian, we've already done a lot, we have rallied the world to denounce the harsh response that the iranian leadership has, i see numbers from a hundred to many times more than that who have been killed by the iranian security forces, just simple people who are wanting to go out to gain political freedom and political rights inside of iran, we know that there are have been several thousand people detained, put in prisons, this is a regime that is spoiling the very demands that the people are putting on them, the protests are a direct result of economic collapse, absence of political freedoms in a regime that sent young boys off to fight and come back dead and habit used -- hasn't used the money for the better of iranian people, we have supported the protestors and done our best that they continue to communicate by using the internet which the iranian leadership attempt today shut down in entirety, this

administration has taken a completely opposite view of the important political protest, freedom-seeking, freedom-loving people of iran that president obama and his administration did. brian: 19 and 26, low-income young man standing up and fighting, we have nothing to do with tun rest, they are fed up with this regime that's taken their money and given it to hamas and hezbollah. >> they want to work and live their lives and they don't want to go fight wars against people for which they have nothing against. this is pretty straightforward. ainsley: i know that you're at the university of louisville today, what are you going to be doing? >> at the mcconnell center in university of louisville, i spend amount of time talking about great work of diplomats around the world and the work that the trump administration is doing to keep people safe and work in western hemisphere, central and south america,

administration has paid a lot of attention and providing economic growth in our own hemisphere. i hope congress will do its part in western hemisphere, hopefully it will pass usmca, enormous opportunity for the people in the united states as well as canada and méxico. steve: i saw time magazine article that said in the last couple of weeks you've spoken to republicans and told them that you will step aside and run for senate in kansas, anything to that? >> nothing at all. [laughter] steve: all right, so you're staying? [laughter] >> as long as president trump will have me as secretary of state i will continue to support him. brian: he said he's sure you'd win if you run? >> tough race, i've never had an easy political race in my life, brian. ainsley: thank you, mr. secretary for joining us.

saw on television, looked like the democrats for the most part ran the show, they were able to do all sorts of things to the detriment of the minority, what are you going to be be able to do in judiciary that they weren't able to do in intel? >> well, first of all, sin it's truly opened from the get-go supposedly we will get to use the rules to make sure we get full questions and a lot questions that we have, although they are trying to fiddle with that a little bit, we can use rule 11, demand minority hearing as well, we can use the president rules of the house as oppose to 660 which gave schiff so much and follow the precedence that were used in clinton and nixon hearings, i think that would give us more strength but they have the majority and i suspect they will continue to run right over us and quite frankly they haven't been concerned with what the rules have been too much anyway and so we will have to keep

fighting for every bit of ground we get. steve: when you say they can run right over you, i know a lot of the republicans in the committee, you're combative as they are running over you? >> we will be like a speed bump, a stop stick with spikes on it trying to put a flat tire on that truck returning over us. steve: all right, what do you make of the fact that former fbi lawyer lisa page, she is coming in and out daily beast, she said, quote, i had stayed quiet for years hoping it got fade away but it got worse and how she's coming out and essentially said i'm done being quiet, what do you make of that? >> it's incredible, audacity like you can't imagine, here is somebody who is engaged in the top of police apparatus in the country and then once he was

there undermine and delegitimize his presidency and now she wants to say she's a victim. the reason it hasn't faded away is because this is an act of such incredible magnitude that we really haven't seen before in this country and it's not going fade away until it gets fully investigated and the timing suspect as well, i think she's trying to spin it up before the ig report comes out next week. >> the timing certainly is something. congressman andy biggs out there in phoenix, arizona, beautiful blue sky day, sir, thank you very much for joining us live. >> thanks, steve. steve: 8:20 in new york city, new numbers shows san francisco' hem lose prissies could be worse than previously thought and some residents want to boot the governor out of office, our next guest is up with of them, the man who filed the recall petition on deck regarding the crisis in california.

plus delays and a thousand cancellations, so could have been a lot worse, i want to check the flights, come on over with me, if you can. i'm looking at northeast flights, that's where we see the main problems with delays, this is the arrival board here, you see, well, updated, places like syracuse, new york, boston not good, springfield, massachusetts not good, white plains is late, so, you know, it could be worse, this time last year at thanksgiving chicago was a disaster, it's clear today but the rest of the country not so. steve: all right, jeff flock who could be stuck in chicago today but it's beautiful city. thank you very much. brian: two things i recommend, get tsa, get your tsa clear and number 2, that clear is a god send, they look at iris and says

you're a okay. ainsley: precheck and clear. brian: the only people that are happy to see you is that clear. they welcome you back. ainsley: it is a god send, you breeze right through security. >> they do, indeed. let's talk to janice dean, in fox square with some people. >> you guys came out, thank you for coming, let's take a look at the maps and i will tell you what is happening, they're not getting out of this either, we have a storm system there, interior sections of the northeast will see definitely inches of snow and blastry winds throughout the day as the coastal low continues to develop, so 30, 40-miles-per-hour winds along the coast, thank y'all for coming, what's your name?

>> caroline higgins from nashville, tennessee. >> where are you from? >> from lancaster, pennsylvania. >> thank you for coming, that's dedication, my friend. what's your name? >> nola, alabama. janice: we saved the best for last, steve, ainsley, brian, back inside. brian: the pride of minnesota is here. steve: pride of his parents that are sitting right here, pete hegseth, u.s. army veteran. >> bring your parents to workday, you didn't know that? [laughter] >> pete, you were a guard at gitmo for a while, what do you make of the story that about the complaints that some of the detainees are having? >> first of all the story comes from abc news, incredible puff piece, i was there in '04, '05, i used to joke with my guys,

terrorists got better and more attentive health care than my guys in the national guard from new jersey who were there serving, we bend over backwards to care, at this point there are 40 guys effectively running a nursing home for them and the reason they may not be in good shape because they are boycotting the care because they want the world to think they are getting bad care when they are getting great care, there's no gitmo for me if i get captured in the battlefield, i get my head cut off, if you are captured by us, you get constitutional rights, soccer, therapy, tall health care you can imagine in the world, i mean, if these guys are leaving with any problems is because they are overweight because we are feeding them so well, if a story like this is absurd, international propaganda to make us look bad and the reality gitmo is well run, we do way too much in my opinion for these guys. ainsley: christmas is just around the corner. you have a series. >> i had a chance to go to birthplace of jesus, place of

first christmas, exclusive access to church and nativity. this was overwhelming christian town, bethlehem, today christians are less than 10%, some we talked to less than 1%, they are under assault and the only time you go there to go to church itself, there's a wall around bethlehem, why, because of terror attacks that have occurred, attack against christians, a quick preview of battle in bethlehem. this is bethlehem, firth place of jesus, site of very first christians, millions come to worship, the site remains contested under palestinian authority control walled off from jerusalem. if palestinians and israelis this wall is at the heart of the

bat until bethlehem. >> when israel controlled bethlehem, christians, muslims were able to worship there, right now palestinianian authority, christians have been pushed out, muslims have moved in and that trend is almost accelerating, we got a chance to get in there with cameras, we watched it last night, my parents and i hadn't seen the whole thing all the way through in its final edit, i think we did a decent job, on christmas, it's a great reminder for folks. steve: did the christians leave the area because they felt threatened? >> we talked to christians and not a single one would go on camera not even if they covered identity, if they spoke out with muslim authorities, their lives are at risk. they can't talk as a christian surrounded by the muslim --

brian: it's cybermonday now, something we should keep in mind. >> cyber morning for this. for cybermonday if you right now joined, sign up for fox nation you get 35% off 1, 2 or 3 year subscription. ainsley: good savings. >> biggest savings fox nation has had, if you've been late for a year and you have not joined fox nation you are left out because you have a year's worth of content and binge-watch, maybe you were the smart one. steve: you got a tattoo in bethlehem? >> it says jesus in hebrew. ainsley: mom, what do you think about this? >> they didn't give approval but i think they still love me. everything is fine.

it's right here. it's the jerusalem cross, also right there at the church in bethlehem. steve: it has been great having you and your family. thank you very much. ainsley: okay, right behind you is carley shimkus she had headlines for you. carley: i do, good morning, update on facebook to get to, facebook ceo mark zuckerberg doubling down to keeping political ads on his site even if they contain false information. >> what i believe is that in a democracy it's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying so they can make their own judgments and i don't think that a private company should be censoring politicians or news. ainsley: zuckerberg denies being pressured into the decision by president trump during recent dinner at the white house, this comes as new report reveals more than 300 protrump ads were removed from gagged and youtube for violating company policies,

it's unclear what policy that refers to. a manhunt intensifying for a group of teen who is broke out of jail, two of them are accused of murder, police say they weren't notified of the escape for 35 minutes, the teens were on work detail at a nashville juvenile detention center when a supervisor left them alone to respond to a fight. they used staff protocols and walked out and considered to be dangerous, police say they are pursuing all leads. look at, this veteran owned business reaches out to police department disrespected by a starbucks, on thanksgivings they were given cup with word pig, starbucks fired employee and when company heard story contacted the department and donated their product, 40% of the company's employees are veterans; how cool is that, i

like that story. >> i don't like the way it started but how it ended. >> our next guest is a former new york times reporter that said that the once respected newspaper has lost its credibility, what he says is to blame for its collapse coming up next. ainsley: and tracee carrasco live at best buy warehouse for cybermonday, hey, tracee, a lot of people out there? tracee: good morning, you can see behind me workers are getting all of your cybermonday orders ready, it's expected to be a record-breaking holiday shopping day, we will have more coming up.

steve: well, today is cybermonday and ainsley and i have been shopping during the commercials and they are expecting record-breaking day of

online sales, probably the most ever in history. ainsley: tracee carrasco from fox business network live from best buy warehouse in new jersey, people aren't shopping there, they are getting ready for the big rush, right? tracee: they are just shopping online, they are shopping on their mobile devices, behind me you can see how busy it is, all the workers getting the cybermonday orders ready, lots of activity here getting the orders ready so they can be shipped out to you by the next day arriving at your doorsteps tomorrow. it is as you said expected to be a record-breaking holiday shopping day, today cybermonday $9.4 billion spent, up 19% from last year, i want to show you the special area, these are robot that is will go down and get the merchandise, there's about 3,000 of best buy's best selling items right below here, this is, of course, supplement to human workers but they go and pick the items and then they're

able to track it on this monitor here, you can see where all of the robots are moving and then they take these orders to a person who will then put the orders together, get it to you by your doorsteps tomorrow morning, 24 hours a day this warehouse will be operating, back to you. >> all right, tracee, thank you very much, that's cool. brian. brian: now this, used to be one of the most respected newspapers in the world, in a new op-ed "the new york times" lost credibility, he would know, he used to work there, he's with the new york post, columnist and fox news contributor, michael, what made you write there? >> this goes out of public lecture i gave in october and they asked me to speak about the collapse of "the new york times" and i eagerly accepted the invitation because "the new york times" is a functioning business, fairly successful one as far as newspapers go but

standard of fairness, traditional sense of restraint in news pages and one of the things that i did having work there had so long, i knew a lot of the rules i grew up with there, i never understood the foundation of them, how they started, i went back and researched how the founding really owner to have new york times a man name adolf who bought it and borrowed money, basically started on the first day, we will have a fair and impartial newspaper and he set all kinds of rules, standards that grew out of that over a century have been thrown overboard by editor to stop donald trump from becoming president and then knock him out of office once he got in. brian: michael, as an example, not too long ago when they led the impeachment push with bill clinton. democratic president. >> yes. brian: that would never happen today.

>> now they are totally a left-wing newspaper, there's nothing in the paper that is impartial anymore, if you look not just as politics which are the most obvious, if you look through sports pages, business pages, culture pages, everything is opinionated, there's no straight news anymore in "the new york times". >> that's fine if you label that, don't tell me it's news and mask it as opinion and that's -- >> that's the big breakdown of standards, it's a betrayal of the founders intent of "the new york times". brian: coming up straight ahead, liberty university to fight attacks against religion, cofounders join us next, first let's check with bill hemmer and find out what he did this weekend and how it feels to have cincinnati bengals win for the first time. >> we will see if he takes questions and many with the white house strategy on

impeachment, why was the isis killed in london freed from jail, china will prevent u.s. navy from selling to hong kong all as malarkey tour in iowa, it's monday, join me and sandra in minutes. if you see wires down,

treat them all as if they are hot and energized. stay away from any downed wire, call 911 and call pg&e right after so we can both respond out

and keep the public safe. [ dramatic music ]ing ] ahhhh! -ahhhh! elliott. you came back!

ainsley: liberty university is opening a new center to fight attacks on jesus and the constitution. charlie kirk, the founder of turning point usa and jerry fallwell, jr., cofounded the newkirk center, good morning to both of you. why did y'all died to team up and open up the center? >> charlie kirk came to me months ago with the wonderful idea and it's sort of sad that we have to do something like this, it's a free service to the public but it's just to provide basic education on american history because so many universities have become liberal and public schools have not taught u.s. history in so long and young people don't understand that the whole idea of the american experiment was based on the judeo-christian ethic, based on free enterprise, limited government and the idea that all of our rights come from

our creator, not from government, not from the church and we are not -- we are advocating the idea that america is not theocaracy. that's not what jesus thought. that's just basic history 101 that has not been taught in recent decades. ainsley: charlie, what would you add to this? >> i could tell you, young christians in particular are unfortunately very confused about how to make choices in the civic arena especially voting and politically and be able to partner with jerry and liberty university is amazing because we are trying to explain the link between gospel jesús christ and freedom. ainsley: thank you so much for being with us, atlantic say that is christianity is in crisis, we need you guys, thank you.
