the new york city area and otherwise today. our friends down snowt south florida it's raining. ainsley: i hope you had a great weekend. thank you so much for joining us. let's start in wilmington, delaware as president-elect joe biden announces the members of his coronavirus task force. hey, griff. >> hey, ainsley, brian, and steve good morning. brian, i don't appreciate the disparaging of the washington football team the nfc east has has a lot 6 problems but i will move on we got our first major biden transition team press release hitting our inbox at 5:01 a.m. announcing the president-elect covid-19 advisories council led by three people dr. david kessler, dr. will vivek murty. president obama named him to be the nation's top doctor in 2014. president trump released him shortly after taking over in 2017. yesterday on meet the press

biden campaign manager kate bettingfield free viewed the task force and its mission. watch. >> he is going to launch the coronavirus task force. going to be led by vivek murty and david kessler who has been advising him since this virus emerged back in march. so you are going to see the work get underway. >> that work will include instituting a national mask mandate by calling on all governors to enact statewide man states securing biodefense and reengaging with the who as well as relaunching the u.s. agency for international development for trafficking program called predict. dr. saleen and. meanwhile president trump is digging in his heels over the

weekend. promising a barrage of legal battles in pennsylvania. relaunching campaign rallies to focus on this ongoing litigation with significant campaign staff being redeployed across the country in battle ground states in pennsylvania, georgia, wisconsin, michigan, and nevada. yesterday, the campaign held a press conference in nevada featuring an nevada election worker that claims he witnessed first hand election irregularities. we will have to see where this all goes. for now we are getting a glimpse at the biden task force. we will see what else we get later today, guys. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: all right. thanks so much, griff. let's talk about what the president is going to be doing. president is going to be looking at these four states in particular and saying is there anything widespread wrong that could overturn that state and ultimately the election. so, in arizona in particular, you have pennsylvania as well. wisconsin is supposed to be an automatic recount and there is some dispute over in georgia obviously. weengsd still don't know the results of north carolina. which i thought was very

intriguing over the weekend. people didn't like donald trump, if they didn't like the trump era like the heavy weights on the g.o.p. side. maybe mitch mcconnell would use this opportunity to say mr. president accept the results. he didn't. he said he had every right to fight it out. mitt romney the most noteworthy presidential critic says he has every right to fight for every legal vote. watch the language it could be incendiary. lindsey graham too. big win also for himself but he also says that trump had a lot to do with his win and the success republicans had. he said he should be able to fight for every legal vote. >> if republicans don't challenge and change the u.s. election system, there will never be another republican president elected again. president trump should not concede. we are down to less than 10,000 votes in georgia. he is going to win north carolina. keep fighting for every legal and live vote. brian: the most intriguing thing

what sidney powell said 450,000 ballots found with just biden's name on it she claims software hammer and score card use to flip votes in some states and the ag in georgia said they are seconding people and investigators down in fulton county to see if there was a problem reporting votes. steve: well, for the most part, lawsuits and rudy has alluded to the fact that it sounds like he could have up to 10 lawsuits okay have four or five by the end of this week. what we know the premise of three of the lawsuits are for the most part there are three issues. there were barriers to the observers, being able to keep an eyeball on the chain of custody with these ballots that were being cast. dead people voting. and, of course, there is always the allegation of back dated ballots. and so that is what we know of rudie's point of view so far. the big question is whether or not this is so widespread and, brian, you used that word a moment ago, why spread to overturn an entire election.

and would a judge agree to that? because in some cases it's a few people it would need tens of thousands of votes, in particular states, to undo what's already been done, ainsley. ainsley: you know, kristi noem this morning i was watching her on "fox & friends first." she said that she agrees with the lindsey grahams of the world that the president does have every right to look at voter fraud if there was voter fraud the american public, more than 70 million people voted for this president. they have the right to know if there was fraud. we are saying if there was, show us the evidence and then we will investigate that president trump is planning on having more rallies. he going to revive his rallies. go to these states and focus on the legal efforts that his team has put together and plans to use obituaries of people who allegedly voted but are actually dead. he said that's his evidence of voter fraud. in some instances and rudy giuliani said that trump has the right not to concede until all of these investigations are over. he has task force and all of

these states including the one in georgia that you are mentioning, brian, to recount all the votes there. now, when you look at the other side. you look at joe biden's team, they have this coronavirus task force. task force that they're putting together and they're going to roll that out today. bernie sanders was interviewed over the weekend and he talks about how that joe biden definitely needs to have progressives on his cabinet. listen to this. >> we are going to hold joe accountable for the ideas that he has projected forth with during the campaign. anybody who objectively looks at biden's success says thank god he won understands that progressive graduate roots movements, black and brown and white and environmental, et cetera, labor, played an enormously important role in bringing out the vote. so i believe that the progressive movement today deserves important places in the biden administration the answer is absolutely.

we are an integral part of the democratic coalition. ainsley: kate bettingfield is the deputy campaign manager you saw her the last few months. she was interviewed yesterday oh, this is what he ran on. he ran on the progressive agenda and he will keep these commitments to the measure people. she said he campaigned on an incredibly progressive agenda and she mentions his plan for the climate, brian. brian: yeah, bernie sanders gives you socialism who gives you the neil, who actually wants minimum wage of $15, which would just destroy businesses already on respirator and would also what have you is a situation where defund the police according to james clyburn and joe manchin and many others including congresswoman spamberger who just won her election almost destroyed the party and had everything to do with why the republicans took the state houses creeped up in the house and might hold the senate. so here is what the electoral

section of the "new york post" said a quick clip to make his union fire vow joe biden needs to go moderate. what joe biden said was really important. for all of those who voted for president trump, i understand the disappointment tonight. i have lost a couple of times. know let's give each other aens that. it's time to put away the harsh rhetoric and lower the temperature. if he wants to do that, you jam down the new green new deal and medicare for all which we don't according to that's a problem. steve: we heard conor lamb out in western pennsylvania over the weekend, he said look, the message about fracking and the message about defund the police just simply worked against us. the editorial board, brian just read the headlines brian wrote this in op-ed yesterday. we hope this means that he, joe biden will govern as the moderate and pull back from the positions he took to keep the aoc-bernie wing on board through election day. the electorate spoke.

they may have elected biden but they rejected radical ideas such as the green new deal. republicans added seats in the house and so far lost only republican senator. here is the place that's going to keep joe biden moderate that is the senate. if the senate is still in the hands of the republicans, he is going to have to work with mitch mcconnell to get anything done. if the democrats had unified government where they ran the house and the senate and the white house, it would be much, much different. it all comes down to these twin runoffs in the state of georgia on january 5th. they already started running ads. and for the most part, we know what the democrats are going to say. they are going to sight republican -- to say therepublie coronavirus response and refused to expand healthcare. republicans are going to be able to say that the democrats are too extreme for georgia and that

outside groups want to make the state very liberal. well, chuck schumer actually gave the republicans a gift on saturday when he said this: >> now we take georgia and we take the world. [inaudible] then then we change america. >> do you want democrats from georgia working for chuck schumer because he wants to change america. and he can do it if he got at least one democrat. marco rubio called georgia the fire wall against the radical agenda of the far left, ainsley. ainsley: well, you know, play that soundbite. we got that soundbite. we all know that's their agenda. of course they want to take the house and the senate and if you talk to the far, far right, they are completely disappointed.

they are upset about the direction the progressives want to take this country. talk to the moderate republicans if joe biden -- if he is sworn in on january 20th, at least republican also get the senate and there will be a balance of power. but they might not get the senate. they need two more votes on both sides. steve: tied right now 48-48. ainsley: that's right. these seats are very important. you will get the democratic party all these different states pour money into georgia to try to beat these republicans. might have the republicans doing the same thing. but, you know, georgia we'll have to see what happens. it's a tight race. it really is it's just amazing that it has come down to this to these two votes, brian. >> brian: real quick. on georgia. when sullivan win wins in alaskd tillis holds on in north carolina it gives them 50. which means they only need 51. they need one of those two seats. if you take congressman collins out of the jungle primary on one

side. kelly loeffler will actually -- if you combine the republican votes she will actually have a stronger situation than the democrat and on the other side, you have sitting senator purdue with 49.8%. so he comes in leading. so they are going to fight it out. the republicans go in to it fighting with a clear edge. i think in one way as we toss over to jillian. i think this would actually help joe biden more than anything else it. would save him from this extreme left. if he had to cut deals with mitch mcconnell. and they are friends. so there might be better for the country. jillian? >> let's begin headlines with extreme weather right now. tropical storm eta making landfall in the keys overnight. this storm bringing winds up to 65 miles per hour in broward county a man is? critical condition after he drove into a flooded canal and

>> i think it's important that we have elected women. i also think what is more important is that we have elected women and candidates in general with the right principles and the right core values with traditional american values. and americans has spoke as it pertains to that so i think it's a very good thing. and i look forward to serving in congress. steve: you know what? you will be serving -- your colleagues will be democrats across the aisle. what do you think as they look at the results? they thought there would be a blue wave. they would pick up a bunch more members. not the case. if you are a democrat today. what are you thinking? >> if i was a democrat and thank goodness i'm not, but i would pause. i would pause and i would do a reset. and i would really listen to what happened. because the polls were dead wrong. and their radical agenda checked

them at the door. i think if they are good politicians, which i believe they are, they are going to check their premise on maybe we need to get back to the middle a little bit if we want to get anything done. because clearly america has on the radical agenda. steve: do you think if she were elected as the speaker nancy pelosi that she would continue down the same track as last time. >> oh, absolutely. absolutely. 100 percent. steve: why do you say that? >> i think nancy pelosi is going to do what nancy pelosi wants i think nancy pelosi is a very strong leader and his her agendas. one of the things you need to do as a leader pause, take a step back and self-reflect. this isn't about you. this is about your constituents. steve: sure. >> i think at times nancy pelosi has difficulty doing that.

insulting his supporters. they spied on him. they impeached him. they goaded him. they did everything they could to try and make him i legitimate and get rid of him and delegitimize the 2016 elections. now they turn around and say these nice words? it would be a lot more believable if joe biden hadn't gone and declared himself victor on saturday night before all these voting irregularities and, you know, other allegations are taken through the courts. because you have almost 71 million americans who aren't really clear about what happened. how this very close election panned out. you need to reassure them that would be really an act of humility and unity. brian: i love joe biden's words. he said for those of you who voted for trump i understand the disappointment i have lost a couple of times before. basically let's put this all behind us and give another look.

i would love those words if it were backed up. he didn't mention or salute the president on the stage that night. he mentioned trump supporters. but you point out something in your column. and the numbers really tell a story. 150 million people voted. the election was decided by 120,000. there is some discrepancies and some things to investigate. how dare you say the president is wrong to look into this. he has every right to look into this, which is why mitch mcconnell, lindsey graham and mitt romney and senator toomey all saying he has a right to look into this. >> exactly. i mean, he has a duty, actually, to half of america which voted for him to look into it. so that it's all transparent. i mean, this is what joe biden should be saying, let's open up everything. let's open up the vote counting and the tabulation, all transparent. the president has to do. this even if he didn't want to, and just wanted to play golf, he owes it to those people who voted for him to reassure them that this was a fair election. brian: miranda, i don't know if

you heard about this. trump is a fighter. how would you think he would do anything different. bring you to the other element of what is going on right now. that is a look at why people voted the way they voted. democrats from james clyburn to joe manchin are saying to people in the house congress men and women why were you bringing up defund the cops? why were you brings up socialism? why were you bringing up medicare for all in the american people get scared of these radical policies. and in fact, aoc is pushing back on people who are pushing back on progressives. they say progressive policies do not hurt candidates. every single candidate that co-sponsored medicare for all in a swing district kept their seats. we also had a co-sponsor of the green new deal was not a sinker. i offered to help every swing district everyone who rejected my help is losing and now they are blaming us for their loss. i sense there is a bit of a civil war brewing. >> well, i think they have had a civil war going on the whole time. that's why they chose such a

will in joe biden. aoc has kept quiet. but you can see the arrogance and the iewb rus uberous of herf the party. i agree with what jim clyburn says. basically moderation won the democrats if that's what happened. joe biden was the only moderate in their candidate list. obviously can you see down ballot that vote rejected all the nonsense all the left wing radical stuff. but aoc isn't going to accept that the arrogance of her wing is something to behold. the fact that she decided she wanted to make a leaf of trump collaborators shows you where they are coming from it's scary. brian: she said at this rate she might leave politics. i don't know what we would do. nothing to report on. miranda, i look forward to your columns every single week.

thanks so much. >> thanks, brian. brian: trump's legal team new legal options starting this week. will they have a case? jonathan turley. we are going to ask him that. and he's going to smile.

steve: president trump's legal team preparing for a strink election lawsuits in key states as soon as this week including one today in pennsylvania. ainsley: so do they have a case? here to discuss is fox news contributor and law professor at george washington university jonathan turley. good morning to you, jonathan. >> good morning. ainsley: so the president is going to go out and have rallies. he says he plans to use obituaries of people who allegedly voted who are actually deceased. so i initially thought throw those out if they're not alive throw them out. but then the system, if you think about it the system has been marked as alive. so is the system antiquated and how do you prove that a daughter

or a brother or someone in the family voted and did it illegally? >> >> well, this is the meticulous work that goes into vote challenges. my relatives voted for years after they died in chicago electoral immortality that we all expect from the daily machine. but, you know this is part of the reason why this takes time. you know, it was an odd thing to have so many people coming out and saying look, there is no case to be made here. we're still nut tabulatio stilln phase. problem large number of balloting errors would come at the next stage at the canvassing stage. most of this information is held by election officials. and it often takes a court order to get that information to the opposing party. brian: so they have -- the judges rejected suits in

georgia, michigan, and nevada. but today we are going to see lawsuits again about alleged barriers to observing the counting of mail-in ballots. alleged back dating of ballots. pennsylvania specifically. and you mentioned dead people voting. in arizona, it looks to be focusing on the sharpies did they roger. in pennsylvania late arriving ballots judge alito said separate them but he was ahead before they even counted the late arriving ballots. having said what i just gave you, counselor, go with it. >> yeah, first of all, i'm not sure that those late arriving ballots would be enough to take out this margin. all of us have been saying that we have not seen any systemicker and the odds dramatically favor vice president biden. what i don't understand is how so many people want these challenges to end for there to be just simply a concession. we have electoral problems in this country 1960 the outcome of that election is still believe

to have been fraudulent. illinois in texas there were a lot of fraudulent votes that put kennedy over the top against richard nixon. in 2,000 people didn't believe we took enough time in florida and al gore may have won florida and won the presidency. there is no reason not to look at the allegations give 71 million people who voted for trump that sense of assurance that nothing untoward occurred and that their votes really did count. can they really overcome these margins? probably not but we don't know what we're talking about here as a legal analyst i'm supposed to analyze things. like saying there is a sick patient outside we want you to declare will whether he will live or die you need to see the patient. steve: right presumably rudy giuliani and company will start protecting the evidence nut next day or two or the week or so. jonathan you, when you mentioned

florida a moment ago. 20 years ago deja vu all over again. except florida was one state. this is a number of states. not just one place. when you look at the electoral map. the president would need sweeping legal victories in all of the states to change the outcome. >> that's right. that's why the odds are low. i don't think that sharpies are going to make a difference here. i don't think that poll watchers are going to make a difference. what we really want to see in these lawsuits is whether the alleged fraud and there now is a snub of affidavits alleging fraud with great specificity. what we want to see is whether there is this that may occur at the thawsks stage of balloting. those are the types of threshold problems that would affect not

one but many states. we simply don't know at this stage. there is no reason not to look at this. president-elect biden has s. already preceding with his transition. that's fine. there is no reason why key can't take some time and assure trump voters these things have been looked at is there a possibility of systemic errors? of course there is. we have had those problems in the past. ainsley: how much time are we talking about? >> i think in the next week or two we should see if there is something more systemic or broad broader at play here. then, you know, the president will have to make up his mind as to how long he wants to contest it. brian: right. 37 days before we knew that george bush would be the next president. jonathan turley, thanks so much. >> that's right. thank you. ainsley: let's hand it over to janice. she has been tracking this tropical storm. hey, janice. janice: yes, a lot of heavy rainfall across south florida as well as tropical storm force winds over the next 12 to 24

hours. let's take a look at 65 mile-per-hour sustained winds, that is the tropical storm. it made landfall across the keys last night. and then it's going to be with us for the next five to six days, unfortunately just kind of hovering across the west coast of florida. flood advisories are in place for south florida and the keys, flash flood warnings receive several inches of rainfall in a short period of time. there is the wind field. we are actually expecting it to become a hurricane yet again i would say over the next 24 hours and then it just kind of lingers. it has nothing to steer it. finally as we get into thursday we think a cold front is going to move through and help to bring it up north and eastward as a tropical storm, perhaps a hurricane or close to a hurricane perhaps for the florida panhandle. so, bottom line is we have got to watch this over the next few days over the eastern gulf. the rest of the country east coast quiet. west coast lots of changes with very cold air and plenty of snow early this season.

ainsley: president-elect joe biden makes tackling coronavirus priorities with formation of his covid-19 advisory board and policy proposals that include a nationwide mask mandate. this comes as coronavirus surges across america the u.s. nearing 10 million cases after four straight days of record high cases being reported. here with what she wants to hear from biden's new task force is

fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier. hey, dr. saphier. >> good morning. ainsley: what do you want them to do? how do we move forward? >> well, joe biden has wasted no time at putting together his covid task force and highly qualified people. murthy, kessler. these people who are known for looking at clinical trials, making sure that we can make them more efficient, preventative medicine. i always have loved a lot of the philosophies of what these individuals bring to the table. i will be interested to hear what they have to say. moving forward i do want to make sure they are respecting all americans. what are we going to do? how are we going to move forward while preserving people's individual freedoms but also doing what is right for our country as this is a highly contagious virus and the spread was inevitable. we start talking about universal mandates. specifically mask-wearing and while i understand the concept behind that i think the overall message needs to be just an encouragement of wearing masks. that's what we see in countries

across the globe. it's not draconian measures. overall recommendation and really an understanding of why it is important to do it. when you start seeing governors say like in new jersey right now where they are still halting in person teaching for children in a lot of places in the public schools, but yet they are allowing other things, it starts having people questioning if people are really following the science. it's under this big umbrella of well, we are following the science. but if you have these harsh recommendations that really don't follow science. that's when you are going to start seeing people questioning them and n. distrust form. unfortunately when there is distrust. that's going to bring people not adhering to it and causing increase in the transmission of virus. ainsley: closing churches but keeping casinos open. many people scratch their heads over that one. what about the new news this morning "wall street journal" has an article talking about two vaccines are working better than expected. can you tell us more about this? >> so that's right the pfizer vaccine just reporting that they found that a week after their

second dose of the vaccine that that vaccine was having a 90% efficacy in preventing the covid infection. that he was great news. our threshold was just had to be above 50%. so to be reporting 90%. that shows it's really working. that means because this is a two-part vaccine. tough have two shots before it works. that means 28 days after that first shot, that you are protected potentially from covid with a 90% efficacy rate. that's great news. ainsley: when do you think the first one will roll out? >> well, again, the timelines are tough. this data is crucial for us to look at right now. the high cases circulating across the country have allowed to us have this data earlier. i do anticipate you are going to start seeing some of these approval processes taking place in the next couple of months and we may be seeing some of these vaccines available for healthcare workers and high risk people maybe early 2021. ainsley: we heard beginning of december, end of december 2021.

♪ country ♪ welcome aboard 230ebgs we have two more hours of information world's number one cable morning news show thanks to folks like you. ainsley: what's going to happen is joe biden and kamala harris launched website coronavirus. president trump plans to revive all of these rallies that he has h going out talking about the ongoing legal issues or legal efforts that he has and he also plans to use obituaries of people who allegedly voted but are actually dead. brian: it won't be sad because a lot of them would be 125 years old today. jason aldean, we bumped in with jason aldean music and joel picks all the music. >> good job. his wife britney, by the way, stood up for fellow republicans she took to instagram on saturday to stick up for fellow republicans who continues to support trump after a post she

kessler i have ventricle murthy and mercy la murthy's name may sound familiar to you kate bedid previewed this task force and its mission. watch. >> he is going to launch the coronavirus task force. going to be led by i have ventricle murthy and david kessler who have been advising him and our campaign since this virus emerged back in march. you will see the work get underway. griff: that work involves a 7 point plan which includes a national mask mandate instituted through state governors restoring obama era direct tort. reengaging with the world health organization and relaunching the u.s.a. path general tracking program called predict. biden will meet with his team.

we anticipate hearing from him in light of this pfizer news. president trump is continuing to refuse to concede this election. 3r078 missing a barrage of legal battles in pennsylvania, georgia, michigan, nevada. is he relaunching his campaign rallies to focus on ongoing litigation with significant campaign staff redeployed. now in the last hour, legal scholar and fox news contributor jonathan turley talked about those legal battles. watch. >> reason not to look at the allegations to give 71 million people who voted for trump that sense of assurance that nothing untoward occurred and that their votes really did count. >> now, as far as the lawsuits from the trump campaign, which are rumored to be in multiple states -- not rumored reported to be in multiple states. rudy giuliani the president's attorney said yesterday on mornings with marie tha maria ig this morning in pennsylvania. we will see what comes. brian, ainsley, steve?

steve: all right, griff. thank you very much. let's start with griff started that was with the new news from the "wall street journal" that they broke with in the last hour about how pfizer and biotech have this vaccine that right now it looks like 28 days after you have taken the second dose, it's a two-part shot, you have protection of 90% which is off the chart. because, remember, it was a couple of months ago that dr. fauci said we will be lucky if we get a shot a vaccine that works with 50% scientists said a really good one would be 75%. now for pfizer to say 90%. that would offer a lot of hope. but then at the same time, how many people would actually take it? we just did kind of an informal poll. i think a lot of us here in the studio would like to take it as well. this comes on the same day as the coronavirus task force for mr. biden and his announcement that he would like to see a

nationwide mask mandate going forward. any time you are outside the house and around other people. joe biden would like to you wear a mask to make sure that you don't infect other people. ainsley: he wants to implement a mask mandate nationwide. work with the governors. if they refuse then i will go to the mayors or county executives. i have a feeling some of the republican governors are not going to be on board with that there are a lot of people that want to make their decisions for their families and don't want the government to tell them they have to do that even though they have proven to not spread the virus and been effective. so there is this divide in the democratic house now. you have got aocs and the progressives and then have you got the more moderates. and some of the moderates are saying the progressives, your messaging is why some of our lawmakers did not get reelected in certain states. look at joe cunningham in south carolina. he represented. he was the incumbent represented the charleston area and then you had nancy mayes that came in and barely squeaked by and she beat him in that area.

but jim clyburn. first let's play aoc's comments about this and how she thinks moderates are being irresponsible and then we will hear from jim clyburn in just a minute and how that relates to the joe cunningham race. here is aoc. >> there are at least in the house caucus very deep divisions within the party. and i believe that we need to really come together and not allow republican narratives to tear us apart. as you presentationed we have a slimmer democratic majority. it's going to be more important than ever for us to work together and not fight each other. and so, when we kind of come out swinging, not 48 hours after tuesday, when we don't even have solid data yet pointing fingers and telling each other what to do it deepens the division in the party. it's irresponsible. it's irresponsible to pour gasoline on these already delicate tensions in the party. ainsley: james clyburn was interviewed and said it's irresponsible to spread the message of defunding the police.

i know in the state of south carolina where i grew up. law and order is very important. people want to be able to call 911 and know that a police officer is coming to your house to keep you and your children safe. james clyburn talked about that. listen. >> i talked to the people down in south florida they told me that really really was a problem down there. i can tell you about the first congressional district of south carolina. i agree that that's what called joe cunningham his seat. i can also tell you about the senate here in south carolina jimmy heroinson started to plateau when defund the police showed up with the caption on tv right across his head. that stuff hurt jimmy. i just hope that going forward we will think about each one of these congressional districts and let people represent their districts. brian: medicare for all is also a problem. joe manchin, really you are saying that the anti-americanism

pulling down the statues doesn't really work for a lot of democrats who decided i'm going to stick with the president or stick with the president's party. remember what they did in the house. they are creeping up every single day still about 20 seats out there. remember this was supposed to be the time which they definitely lost the senate. now they are one senate seat it's going to seem after sullivan win and tillis wins they will be one seat away from getting majority for the next two years at least and probably worse from there because of that horrible messaging the president was able to capitalize on. this divide if it was apparent before, joe biden doesn't get close. what they did is they spackled over it. signed a document together on this. then the divisions appear once they have the election. meanwhile talking about that election. president of the united states not content with so many of these battle ground states so close. wants a recount probably going to get it in wisconsin and georgia. also has a situation where he has legal teams fanned out in all these states for example sidney powell came out and said

yesterday 450,000 ballots found with only biden's name on it. that bothers the president, i'm sure. there is a software called hammer and score card used to flip votes from trump to biden is that indeed true? don't you think if you are the president of the united states you would like to find out. at least three or four lawsuits that rudy giuliani is going to be filing in a lot of those battle ground states. miranda devine said what the president is doing right now flakes a lot of sense. also, the pushback against the progressive agenda even on the left makes sense. >> they have had a civil war going on the whole time. that's why they chose such subpar candidate in joe biden. moderation won the democrats if that's what happened. joe biden was the only moderate in their candidate list. and obviously can you see down ballot that voters rejected all the nonsense, all left ring radical stuff. but, aoc isn't going to accept that the arrogance of her wing

is something to behold. the fact that she decided thee wanted to make a list of trump collaborators just shows you where they are coming from. it's scary. brian: do you know what's scary, too? it seems like so many people in country don't like the country. that's why i was heartened to hear james clyburn say i'm a proud american and proud democrat. people need to know fundamentally we are on the same page. so issues going to be looking into alleged barriers to observe counting of ballots in states. the alleged black back dated ballots and dead people voting. three of the main issues in arizona, pennsylvania, and georgia. meanwhile, shear jillian mele with the other news that she has been working on. jillian: that's right. good morning. let's begin with extreme weather tropical storm etta hitting florida after making landfall in the keys overnight.

a look at your headlines. send it back to you. steve: all right, thank you. jeopardy host alex trebek has died after his brave battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. >> the tv icon hosted more than 8,000 episodes of the game show. brian: takes us through his incredible career. >> here he is the host of jeopardy alex trebek. >> for 35 years alex trebek gained tv audiences as the beloved host of jeopardy. a show he described as a simple recipe for fun. born and raised in canada. trebek studied philosophy at the university of ottawa. his television career began in 1961. first as a news announcer for the canadian broadcast are corporation, then as a game show host. >> what part of the world would you want a wombat? >> in 1973 trebek relocated to hollywood where he hosted numerous short lived game shows including high rollers and

>> sinsdy's ambition was to come to jeopardy and win over $100,000. she has done that. >> she died just a week before her episode aired. three years later trebek himself was facing his own cancer battle with bravery, candor and his trademark sense of humor. >> i plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease. truth told, i have to because under the terms of my contract, i have to host jeopardy for three more years.

that mr. schumer? >> now we take georgia and then we change america. brian: right. that's exactly what america wants to hear. that was senate minority leader chuck schumer critical to georgia run off starts balance of power in the senate. here is what at stake conservative institute rachel brevard. that might have been the most per victoria's secret thing for republicans to hear from chuck schumer. he will change the country if he becomes vort leader. >> yeah, chuck schumer is not lying. he fundamentally rel. reshape america. senate democrats have been very clear about what they intend if they take power in the senate. they will eliminate the filibuster. they will use that power to pack the supreme court. they will add two new states d.c. and puerto rico and to be clear, none of this is well thought out policy. this is not benevolence. this is not about what is good for the country. this is about establishing a permanent democrat majority in washington that can never be undone. what is what is at stake in this

balance of power in the senate. brian: do you know what? instead of saying well those republicans are overstating it. you roll that clip in an ad from chuck schumer it's indefensible or maybe exactly what democrats want to hear. now, in georgia if particular. have you got two races. let's take a look at those races, david perdue just missed 50% against jon ossoff and kelly laugh ler against raffle war war knock. if fill solicit holding none north carolina which is he likely to. republican also need one of these two races what's their better shot? >> look, i think both these candidates are going to present pretty good compelling reasons to vote for them. both of them were supposed to be blown away. that's what the polls told us. raffle warnock was up by 15 points. the fact that they didn't overwhelm the race and that we are here in a runoff i think speaks to the fact that this is

not easily divided. georgia voters will have o-to-make good tough decisions republicans have very strong cases kelly loeffler stand up to big tech in the senate. david perdue some out for fundamental immigration reform against surprise medical billing. these are things that matter to voters in georgia and voters across the country. this is going to be a national race whether we like it or not. brian: right. what people should understand about the loeffler race is doug collins is a great candidate and split the republican vote. he only missed it by about two. when you do that that gives warknock a chance to finish out front but get a chance to run it off january 5th. but stacey abrams change helped lead according to reports we don't have the final stats yet and the president thinks he is going to end up winning georgia on a recount did a lot to change georgia. get out the vote. what should republicans learn about november 3rd to help him on january 5th. >> stacey abrams to her credit did not take georgia for granted got out and had a strong ground

game. republicans have to register voters. they cannot take red states for granted. i hope they are doing that they needed to be doing it yesterday. i know that both senate campaigns are actively pursuing voters in this regard. but, hey, they got to get on the ground and they have got to do it today. brian: starting today. we have got two months. i will tell you it's so impactful. on some level i think joe biden is rooting for the republicans. i think if he truly wants to be moderate he has no chance if chuck schumer is the majority leader. we will have to give him some sodium pentothal and see what happens. rachel bovard thanks so much. >> thank you. brian: so much at stake in georgia. celebrate election win. >> getting decency back in country. >> free unsolicited advice for president trump, it's over. brian: wow, fantastic. joe concha says you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between. so big news rooms and campaign headquarters and it's sad. ♪ ♪

so reaction. regarding joe biden's projected win. how are the other channels covering president trump's challenges to the legal obstacles that he is facing right now? they seemed to be dismissed outright there is no proof or evidence. let the process play out. would he see nosy what we know and we know what we don't know. right now the president's camp has yet to present any hard evidence whatsoever in terms of voter fraud. again, the investigations go on the lawsuits start. there is one today as you mentioned before happening, i believe, in pennsylvania and let the process play out and then at the end of it we will declare hot president is but right now it is president-elect joe biden, steve. steve: well, joe, over the weekend, a lookout of the coverage on all the channels that i was sampling seemed to have one word they used a lot unity. how joe biden was not only going to unite the all the factions of the democratic party but also try to do something as an

outreach to the 70 million americans who voted for donald trump. >> yeah. i heard two words. i heard unity a lot as well and i heard dark to describe the last four years. 71 million people apparently voted for dark. they like the job that the president did. he therefore got more jobs than any candidate in history. the problem for him is joe biden got more votes than any candidate in history. joe biden talked about unity in his speech and it was a nice speech. but then he has to follow that with actions. when alexandria ocasio-cortez, for instance, starts putting out compiling lists around who supported this president, i remember a country back in the 1930s that also tried the whole list thing that's right it was the third reich. until he starts calling out bring the party together those 71 million people are not going to believe a damn thing around unity if we keep hearing lawmakers speak in those terms, steve. steve: all right. joe concha, first day as a fox news contributor.

steve welcome back. joe biden reportedly chart ago course to reverse some of president trump's policies. >> according to the "the washington post" he will rejoin the paris climate accords reverse from the who repeal the ban ton almost all travel from muslim-majority countries and allow dreamers to remain in the country from people familiar with his plans. brian: here to discuss is ben domenech. welcome back. that does not surprise you. let's add in the fact that he also wants to get back into the iranian deal. i guess he will be successful at this if he in fact survives any type of challenge from the president on the recount, correct? >> well, i do think what you are going to see from joe biden is a flurriy of activity that is going to speak to all of his different priorities to try to restore a lot of these bad deals that the president got us out of over the past several years.

he is going to do his best to really speak to his progressive left base with a lot of different executive orders that don't have to go through the congressional process because he may face a situation where is he not able to live up demands court-packing and comes to the filibuster. adding a couple of states, et cetera. that's something democrats wanted to do and something they promised to progressive left base. instead do all these rifle shot executive orders that try to restore a bunch of those bad obama era policies in a more direct way ben, you know this is something that incoming presidents always do. donald trump did it. barack obama did it. george w. bush did it. clinton did it before that but, you know, when you look at the potential, the fact that the senate could be run by republicans and is he a democrat in the white house, going forward, he might not be able to

get a lot of stuff done going forward so this could be it for a while. >> i do think you are going to see a lot of this done through the administration and through their different bureaucratic policies. executive orders are often something that pits the white house against the bureaucracy as we saw under donald trump that essentially he is demanding the bureaucracy do something the bureaucrats do something they don't want to do. in the instance of joe biden is he going to be giving permission to do the things they do want to do in such a restoring the funding for abortions internationally. restoring funding for planned parenthood, bringing back something like critical race theory which your colleague chris wallace inat rackly described as being no different than racial sensitivity training. >> this is the sort of thing we will see happen under a potential biden presidency. it's going to be something minute to satisfy the more extreme members of his party who know that they can't get that thing passed in congress or through one that is potentially as you said led by republicans on the senate side. ainsley: ben, kate bedingfield

was interviewed the biden campaign manager and she talked about the progressive movement she said he ran on these commitments he will stick to these commitments. listen to this. >> i think that vice president biden campaigned on an incredibly progressive and aggressive agenda. take a look for example at his climate plan it's the boldest, biggest climate plan that's ever been put forward by, you know, by a nominee running for president and now a president-elect. is he going to make good on those commitments. i mean, you know, he spent time on this campaign bringing people together around his climate plan. it's a big aggressive plan. a perfect example of the kind of, you know, big effort that he is going to make to meet this moment and to meet these crises that we are in. ainsley: ben, if he does win, if he -- if president trump is not successful with fighting these legal efforts and he is the president, what do the next four years look like? is it already starting? we heard bernie? we heard aoc say get him in. once he is in, then we can push forward. >> everything kate bedingfield

said there was a lie. she knows it's a lie. she is not a dumb person. there is no assessment of the climb plan that joe biden put forward as being something that he has brought people together around. that's just not true. in fact, you know, with a narrow senate the way that it is, we would have democratic opposition if he put forward that climate plan from people like joe manchin in west virginia and elsewhere. this is not a situation where they are going to be able to deliver on those promises so they will have to make up for it in a lot of different hand waving showy deals like saying they are getting back in the paris climate accord for instance but not actually doing anything when it comes to the legislative side of things. brian: ben, if you have a a conservative side so much good in this election. the president validated 2016 outcome. got even more votes now. and then you see what happened in state legislatures. you see what happened in the house. nancy pelosi still not over it. will never get over it. she might not even survive it. and then what could happen with the senate. taking the senate. what do you say from the conservative perspective in the big picture or can you see through the crowd right now?

>> i think the big picture is that definitely president trump changed the coalition of the right in america. he made it a more diverse, a younger coalition, one that is more economically populist. one that has different attitudes toward foreign policy and fiscal policy than it did several years ago. it's a dramatic time for change on the right in america from both a conservative and moderate perspective. i think that's going to happen enormous ramifications not just during the, you know, immediate period but also for 2024 and what leadership looks like going forward. this is an enormous time of change. a shift away from perhaps the old policies that maybe hung on a little bit too long without being challenged. i think that's something that would not have been achieved without the presence of donald trump. steve: all right, ben, thank you very much for joining us live on this monday. >> good to be with you. steve: all right. j.d. is also with us. j.d. south florida is getting hammered right now. >> yes. unfortunately, we had a landfall

of a tropical storm etta. winds of 65 miles per hour. 74 makes it hurricane. set to become a urk again next 24 hours as it meanders across the gulf of mexico. there is the latest coordinates 65 miles per hour sustained winds. a lot of rain in south florida watches and warnings posted. there are the models a lot of scrubbably lines near. not a lot of confidence as we go several days out we will have to watch this certainly for florida and the gulf coast over the next several days we will be trafficking it through thursday and friday. flash flood watches and warnings still in place for miami of course getting several inches of rain. as can you see that cone gets wider and stalls out that's concerning. that means more of a heavy rain threat for many days especially across the west coast of florida and we will have to see whether or not we have another landfall

over the panhandle over the next couple of days. other big story we are watching, big cold fronts moving into the west that is bringing much needed moisture for areas that we saw wildfires across much of the west and heavy snow. so we will continue to monitor everything from the fox news extreme weather center from my one of my spare bedrooms. back to you steve, ainsley and brian. ainsley: thank you, janice. steve: the weather bedroom. >> i miss you. ainsley: we miss you too, janice. ainsley: hand it over to jillian who has headlines. jillian: kristi noem comes to the president's defense election legal battle. >> give al gore 37 days to run the process before we decided who run the president. why would we not afford the 70.6 million americans president trump the same consideration? >> governor noem says the people deserve to note process is fair for the stake of future

were expecting last month. congrats. back to you guys. ainsley: that is great. >> by the way, was everyone wearing masks? were they six feet away when they were celebrating? i could not tell. steve: some were. brian: maybe one out of 10,000? it's amazing how people just skip over that i wonder if anthony fauci will be making a statement on that later. major development in the fight covid-19. vaccine is more than 90% effective. they want to land it out by the end of the month. charles payne here to react. less oral steroids. taking my treatment at home. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your doctor about nucala at home. find your nunormal with nucala.

ask i decided that aboui wanted to gome. for electrical engineering and you need to go to college for that. if i didn't have internet in the home i would have to give up more time with my kids. which is the main reason i left the military. everybody wants more for their kids, but i feel like with my kids, they measurably get more than i ever got.

and i get to do that. i get to provide that for them. ainsley: a fox news alert. major news in the race for a covid-19 vaccine. pfizer is announcing their trials show it is 90% effective. much better than expected. plans to file for fda approval by the end of the month. the news already causing dow futures to surge. here to react is host of making money on fox business. charles payne. charles, how is this going to effect us? >> oh beings it's just absolutely remarkable. i got to tell you, ainsley. one thing i have been telling people as we ran up to this election is to hold on in part because we are fixed pretty good in terms of household debt. the savings amounts that we have. wages going up. we know that there is a big enough swath of americans who are still hurting to get maybe

one more stimulus package passed. how do you get this economy really going? how do you unleash everything that's sort of built up and the key has always been this vaccine. and this news is much better. as we were getting some ibsd indications along the last few months, we were thinking 70% effectiveness. 80% effectiveness. no one said 90% effectiveness. 94,000 people -- i'm sorry 44,000 people were tested. 94 ended up with covid-19. fewer than 9 have received the two shots. so, this is absolutely amazing. no significant safety issues here. excuse me, and you just mentioned they are going to be filing for an emergency approval with the fda in the third week of this month. this is the best news for society. the best news for stock market and we knew it was coming. but i think starting a fading feeling it was going to come later rather than this soon. ainsley: are you finding the timing curious? we had an election a week ago.

[laughter] >> i am finding the timing curious. it's frustrating. you know, so interesting. i was watchining to gling around tv watching a couple games and whatever. i saw a commercial for "60 minutes" we are going to go to the military's operation warp speed. the military's? they are actually operating it in fact at the behest of president trump. and then there is an article this morning before this campaign out that was shifting sort of operation warp speed to biden now. "the washington post" biden advisers met with sharp with warp speed drugmakers before the elections. what i thought was intriguing is on the biden website operation warp speed lacks a strategy to see mission through and gain the trust of measures. i wonder what they're going to say today. are they going to tell people not to take this vaccine that pfizer is saying 90% effective? are they going to say wait? this is absolutelyely remarkable stuff. credit where credit is due. president trump he really did

push hard on this. who knows if it came a week earlier it might have changed the outcome i is great news for all americans. >> what will happen in the race in georgia and how will that affect the stock markets? >> 95% confident that both republican candidates are going to win. all we need and i say we i mean society to be quite frankly as one. most of the things that the president-elect joe biden wants to put through, it requires a lot of help from the congress and requires a lot of help from the senate, ainsley. even repealing the tax cuts he would need 51 democratic senators, 51 senate votes. ainsley: we got to go, charles. >> all these things. ainsley: charles you are going to get cut off. ainsley: watch your show to hear the rest of it. more "fox & friends" coming up.

close to giving up. even the headline of "the new york times," and if you watched all the sunday shows yesterday, he's got the back of the republicans. mitch mcconnell says, if i'm the president, i don't stop. mitt romney says if i'm the president, i look into this, just to watch your language. and also lindsey graham. he's like, i told the president, keep fighting this out to find out what happened in those battleground state, many of which have not been officially certified. there's going to be an automatic recount in wisconsin, possibly georgia. so who could blame the president for that? steve: well, this morning before the news of the vaccine at 90% effectiveness rate, the stock market was up a little. but right now, point of reference, the all-time high close for the dow jones industrial average, 29,551. if it closed at that number right there, it would be an historic high. so stick around, we'll have coverage of that today.

brian: a lot of people are going to retire. they looked at their 401(k)s, good night, everybody. ainsley: moving to florida! steve: president-elect joe biden has announced that he's going to announce his coronavirus task force as pfizer says its vaccine is more than 90% effective, and griff jenkins joins us live from wilmington, delaware, about 15 minutes away from joe's house. griff, we heard that operation warp speed had been working on different vaccines, but we have never heard of one that is 90% effective, and that's why the stock market is through the roof. >> reporter: that's right, steve, ainsley and brian, good morning. steve, you're talking about the market being up, it'll be interesting to see after president-elect biden surely will take to microphones after he meets with his new task force who will be talking, at the top of their list must be this news with pfizer, phase three trials of 94 summits, that could mean -- subjects, that could

mean a faster deployed vaccine on its way. pfizer in a statement just an hour ago said, quote: we are reaching this critical milestone in our vaccine development program at a time when the world needs it most with infection rates setting new records, hospitals nearing overcapacity and economies struggling to reopen. now, that task force is is being led, by the way, by co-chairs david kessler, dr. vivekmurthy. dr. nicole saphier weighed in earlier. >> they are expecting all americans. what are we going to do, how are we going to move forward while preserving people's individual freedoms, but also doing what is right for our country as this is a highly contagious virus, and the spread was inevitable. >> reporter: the task force also outlined a seven-point plan to battle covid-19 that includes a national mask mandate

instituted through all 50 state governors and reengaging with the world health organization, a break that president trump recentlied had. meanwhile, because president trump is showing no signs of conceding this election, promising a barrage of legal battles in pennsylvania, georgia, wisconsin, michigan and nevada, legal scholar and fox news contributor jonathan turley defended the campaign's right to do so. listen. >> this is part of the reason why this takes time. you know, it was an odd thing to have so many people coming out and saying, look, there's no case to be made here. we're still in the tabulation stage, you know? the information that would reflect a systemic problem or large numbers of balloting errors would come at the next stage, at the canvassing stage. >> reporter: now, the president is also relaunch. ing his campaign rallies to focus on this ongoing litigation with significant campaign staff redeployed across the country in battleground statements. now, as far as those lawsuits

go, yesterday the president's attorney, rudy giuliani, said they'll file first in pennsylvania, then more to come in other states. and we may -- i don't know for sure -- but could hear from president trump either through two twitter or on cameras about that news out of pfizer. we'll have to wait and see. ainsley: what are you talking about? he doesn't tweet. [laughter] thank you, griff. when you look at the parties now, the republican party's changed. it could not have happened without president trump. you know, it's the party, brian, we were talking about this, it's the party of the working class now. it's the party for law enforcement, for law and order. when you look at the democratic party, there is a divide. are they progressive or more moderate? which way will joe biden go? he's more moderate but then rap on this progressive agenda. -- ran on this progressive agenda. let's hear what bernie sanders said. >> we're going to hold joe accountable for the ideas he projected and fought for during

the campaign. anybody who objectively looks at biden's success, and thank god he won, understands that progressive grassroots movements, black and brown and white and environmental and labor, played an enormously important role in bringing out the vote. i believe that the progressive movement today deserves important places in the biden administration, the answer is absolutely. we are an integral part of the democratic coalition. ainsley: he said we cannot go back to business as normal. he said people are leaving school and they have a lot of debt, people are dying because they can't get to the doctor on time, he talked about the coronavirus, and he said people don't have food in their cupboards, brian. brian: any of these things solve any of those problems? pretty much no, or else they would have been in vermont or prevalent throughout the country, but no one's buying it, including a lot of sensible democrats.

defunding the police, when you talk about medicare for all, that's not going to resonate with the american people because you barely have medicare for some. meanwhile, kate bedingfield says, hey, no, we're going to keep with the progressive stuff. listen. >> i think vice president biden campaigned on an increasingly progressive agenda. take look at his climate plan, it's the biggest climate plan that's ever been put forward i by a nominee running for president and now a president-elect. he's going to make good on those commitments. he spent time during this campaign bringing people together around this climate plan. it's a big, aggressive plan. it's the perfect example of the kind of, you know, big effort that he is going to make to meet this moment and to meet these crises that we're in. brian: right. the climate plan that never passed the senate, using taxpayers' money to help developing nations develop their climate plan, china and russia are just basically ignoring and giving lip service to.

ben domenech listened to that sound bite and said this: -- >> everything kate bedingfield said there was a lie, and she knows it's a lie. she's not a dumb person. there's no assessment of the climate plan that joe biden put forward as being something that he's brought people together around, that's just not true. in fact, with the narrow senate, he would have democratic9 opposition from people like joe manchin in west virginia and elsewhere. this is not a situation where they're going to be automobile to deliver on those propses, so they're going to have to make up for it in a lot of hand-awaying, show by deals saying they're getting back in the paris climate i awe cords, for instance, but not actually doing anything when it comes to the legislative side. brian: we'll have to see. along with the paris deal not passing the senate, which means it's not a treaty, you also have the iranian deal which he wants to get back into. senator cardin, senator schumer, many democrats weren't for the iran deal, this was horrendous, and now it looks even worse and

pretty much the horse is out of the barn, steve, because they already started on their nuclear program again, and most of these arab nations have combined with israel to really push back on it. there's almost a wall around iran these days. steve: well, you know, the reason that joe biden won was he was able to get a lot of the bernie sanders supporters to vote for him last tuesday. so joe biden going forward's got to figure out, okay, what do i do? do i put a member of that coalition on the cabinet? how do we include it? how far do we go? so much of the joe biden agenda will be determined by the u.s. senate. and as you know, because of the rules down in georgia that are going to be twin runoffs with the, it sounds like we should know by january 6th who will control the u.s. senate because all the republicans need to do is win one. we've already -- i was reading the "atlanta journal-constitution" this

morning, they're already running, democrats are, tv ads down in georgia trying to persuade people to vote for one of the two or both of the two democratic candidates. essentially, what their opening argument is, is that the republicans blew the coronavirus task force response whereas the republicans are saying, look, democrats are too extreme. and then you've got chuck schumer over the weekend here in new york city saying now we take georgia, then we change the world. the big question is, do you want the world changed? buttigieg who has been -- pete buttigieg says that the choice really is for mitch mcconnell. he's got to figure out what to do. watch this. >> at the end of the day, again, the thing we have going for us is that the american people are with us. mitch mcconnell's going to have to decide whether he wants to help move this country forward and influence progress or whether he wants to stop progress. if he chooses to do that, i'm fearful not only that the

republican party would pay a devastating price politically, but the american people would pay a price that we can't afford to pay because we need action. steve: and pete buttigieg is right because joe biden's agenda is in the hands largely of mitch mcconnell if he is majority leader. he would have control over all the members of the senate who would vote on his cabinet choices, and also he would be able to, ainsley, block his legislative agenda. and that's why right now joe biden's talking about all these things he's going to do by executive order because if there's a remoney senate, the question is -- republican senate, the question is how much could he get done. ainsley: there's going to be so much money spent in georgia. folks thought commercials were over with? no. steve: good time to own a tv station down there. ainsley: right? january 5th is that election, and it's going to be tough. it looks like kelly loeffler, once she gets those votes, brian was making this point in the

first hour, then they will have the majority of the votes probably. and david perdue facing off against democrat john ossoff, he was finishing ahead, but he had 47.9. steve: it's so close. brian yeah, it's going to be really close in the end. good news for republicans, congressman collins immediately endorsed kelly loeffler, and he's going to be in charge of trying to recount in georgia. but he's very tight with the president, the president asked him to help out even more for her, i'm sure he will. so you get one of the two republicans, they get the majority and things change. i believe that the senator schumer's comments will go down like nancy pelosi's when she said you've got to pass obamacare to find out what's in it. him saying we're going to change america, that's exactly what america said they don't want to hear, and he just said it again in new york city. which has been just destroyed under chuck schumer and governor cuomo. and mayor de blasio.

♪ >> you pet politics over the constitution, it gets a pathetic. although i say this, we're going to win that seat back. >> i think jeff van drew's making a serious mistake, and it's kind of strange. i've heard of rats jumping off a sinking ship, but very few of them jump onto a sinking ship. ainsley: well, they said it couldn't be done, but less than a year after leaving the democratic party for the gop, jeff van drew won reelection as a republican, and he joins me now in his first interview since the big win last week. congratulations to you. >> thank you so much. it was a great time and it was a great week. ainsley: i know that had to be risky, to switch parties. but, obviously, it didn't hurt you, it seemed to have help you. why did you decide to do it? >> the risk was worth it,

essentially because really to condense it down the democratic party has changed a great deal, and it's changing more. and you saw that by even the number of moderates that lost in this last election right here who were democrats. and that's going to continue because whatever they try to do and whatever they say, at the end of the day it is very progressive, extreme, radical people that are controlling that party into the future, and that's not what americans want. americans love their country. and that's what the election was about. it was about which path we were going to take. the mrs. kennedy's path which was a radical path, which was one that, you know, believes in the green new deal, believed in defunding police, believed in sanctuary cities, believed in open borders, believed in not supporting our military, or was it the path of a strong and good america that we love, that we can make even better. we can always make it better, but that we support this great

and wonderful nation, a nation that we should be proud of. that was one of the most important points of the entire election, and then i would say the second really most important point in a way, the basics. we took care of our people. we always worked hard with constituent services. at times we would have 15-20,000 open cases. my people worked late into the night sometimes. they will do the extra that step to make sure that people get help. ainsley: what's the new republican party now? we heard someone say it's not a complete loss, that this republican party could not have happened without donald trump. >> i think that's true, and i want to thank the president, because i think the president broke everything open. he really showed -- it's like they have that saying, you know, ripping the band-aid off and seeing what's under. he did that. and he showed the seamy side, quite frankly, how politics could be better, that you really could work and fight for the

average person. you know, there's all the pundits and there's all the real smart people, or but the people who vote, the average, everyday working people out there need to be listened to and not forgotten about and certainly not looked down upon. and that was happening a great deal. just look at this election, you know? you have the pollsters telling you how much donald trump was just going to get thrashed and lose terribly. we were going to lose much more of the house, that didn't happen at all. i was going to lose because somebody who changes their party never wins. that didn't happen. they're still actually counting our votes, believe it or not, everybody's votes in new jersey. so they were wrong about everything. but the people knew. the people knew in their hearts. the people knew they want to see some change. this new republican party is about really having that relationship with the average, everyday person, with real people, making sure that we have government that works for them,

that we don't just keep increasing taxes, that we don't just keep pushing more and more programs that don't really, in the end, help anybody but bureaucrats. we can do so much better. and, by the way, real quickly? with need a new election system -- we need a new election system. ainsley: it's so antiquated. >> it is. ainsley: i agree with you. >> i feel like i've gone back to the 1900s. ainsley: right? >> we're able to decode e dna, we're going to put people on mars and on the moon, but we can't have an election system that works accurately are, quickly and electronically? that's nonsense. ainsley: i know. we're all on our smartphones, we're so technologically advanced, ask we can't handle this system. something needs to change. go to washington and do something about it, please. >> i want to. it's something i'm going to work on. ainsley: awesome. thank you. congratulations. >> thank you so much. ainsley: you're welcome. 23 minutes after the top of the hour. health care heads to the high court tomorrow in justice barrett's first major case, but

♪ ♪ >> here is the host of jeopardy, alex trebek! [applause] >> thank you, johnny gilbert. thank you, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. steve: one of a kind. alex trebek has died after a long battle with stage four pancreatic cancer. carley shimkus joins us live with some of the tributes for somebody who was a show business legend. >> steve, that's right. you know, the nation may be divided right now, but folks are coming together to say good-bye to alex trebek. the tv icon died peacefully at his home sunday surrounded by family and friends. he was 80 years old. trebek hosted the quiz show for nearly 37 seasons and more than 8200 episodes, the most by a presenter of any single tv game show in history.

former contestants taking to social media to honor his life and legacy, ken jennings tweeting: alex wasn't just the best ever at what he did, he was also a lovely and deeply decent man, and i'm grateful for every minute i got to spend with him. james writing: it was one of the great privileges of my life to spend time with this courageous man while he fought the battle of his life. you will never be replaced in our hearts, alex. and wheel of fortune host path say jack tweeting: alex trebek's courage, grace and strength inspired millions to those of us who knew him. a tremendous loss, i was honored to be a friend and a part of his professional family for all these years, a very sad day. now in a statement to fox news, the show has confirmed that the final episode of jeopardy hosted by trebek will air on christmas day. his last day in the studio as the host was filmed less than two weeks ago. jeopardy also making it clear a new host will not be announced

at this time. steve? steve: all right. carley shimkus in the newsroom, thank you very much. brian: all right. the affordable care act back in the supreme court in a case that could put an end to obamacare. it'll be one of justice amy coney barrett's first major cases, that's why the democrats targeted her as a threat to the health care law. >> your honor, i believe your views are sin sheer, but i also -- sin sure, but i also think you genuinely think the affordable care act is unconstitutional. >> for people who have been up here and their pictures, is it unreasonable for them to believe the aca would be overturned? >> the did you ever write or speak out in defense of the aca? >> did you have a general understanding that one of the president's campaign promises was to repeal the affordable care act when you were nominated? brian: let's bring in the director of the cato institute's

robert a. levy center, ilya shapiro. yale, first off -- ilya, first off, is there a good chance that obamacare gets destroyed in this session? >> there is no chance. it's very likely e that the individual mandate gets struck down because there's no longer john roberts' taxing power argument. but the rest of the law will survive. there's not even one vote, let alone four with barretting being the decider. brian: so i guess, technically, this is california v. texas, and they're saying, well, john roberts in 2012 said it exists because the mandate is a tax. now, the president gets rid of the mandate, so if that means you don't is have to buy health care insurance which had been an average of $695, so, therefore, let's try it again, let's try to get rid of it without the mandate, and you believe we should focus on severability. could you put that in layman's terms? >> yeah, that's a tan city legal term -- fancy legal term for how much of the rest of the law falls when one part is judged to

be constitutionally or legally defective. now, you have to understand this case is not a redo of that one from eight years ago when roberts ruled as you described. i was involved in that case, i argued for the unconstitutionality of the entire law. but this is not a redo because, when in 2017 congress zeroed out that tax, that penalty, all that e affected was the mandate. and congress could have changed the rest of the haw, could have struck it down, could have changed it in all sorts of ways, and it didn't. therefore, when lawyers, when judges applied this doctrine of severability, how much do you cut out, they look at what congress dulled. and congress determined not to change the rest of the law. that's why the mandate will fall. there's no more taxing power argument for it, but all or most of the rest will survive. brian: those pictures of children and adults with chronic disease that sat in their chairs instead of the democrats, that

was all a show? >> that was political theater: the democrats either didn't understand the case or, rather, their staff, their lawyers didn't, or they were being disingenuous and just politicking ahead of the election. brian: unbelievable. and when are we going to find out? >> by the end of june, that's when the term ends. but this case, as i said, is not that complicated at the end of the day, and we could have a discussion in a few months. brian it's really not your lawyer, but it's also not working, it's not working for america. i don't want to drill down and actually give people, you know, go beyond the political headlines, but the thing's got to be fixed. >> i mean, that would be great, but that obviously isn't a job for the supreme court, that's a job for congress. brian: well, congratulations on your book. we appreciate you joining us today, and we'll look forward to finding out if you're, indeed, correct. might not even be one vote to get rid of it. ilya shapiro, thanks so much. >> happy to be back. brian: still ahead, "the new york times" says joe biden's

first major tasking will be uniting the democratic party. is that easier said than done? karl rove is here next to answer that question, and that's karl rove. our retirement plan with voya gives us confidence. yeah, they help us with achievable steps along the way... ...so we can spend a bit now, knowing we're prepared for the future. surprise! we renovated the guest room, so you can live with us. oooh, well... i'm good at my condo.

[sfx: mnemonic] steve: back now with a fox news alert, stock market futures are surging at this hour. look at that right now, after pfizer has announced that its

covid-19 vaccine is apparently 90% effective. which we had not expected. indiana indiana lauren simonetti with our sister network, fox business, is live with the reaction. hey, lauren. >> reporter: this is like the best news the market could get. president trump tweeting about it saying stock market up big, vaccine coming soon. report 90% effective. such great news. this will very likely be a record-setting day for the dow jones industrial average. you're making money in your 401(k) today, and i want to point out the nasdaq, it is up, but guess what's down? netflix, peloton, amazon, all those popular stay at home plays because if there's a vaccine, guess what? we don't need as much netflix. we can go out once again, that's certainly good news. the 90% effective, if you compare that to a regular flu shot which is between 40-60% effective, that's even better news. it's why they plan to apply for emergency use authorization from

the fda the third week of november which could be next week. let me read you some of the statements from the pfizer ceo. he says with today's news, we are a significant step closer to providing people around the world with a much-needed breakthrough to help bring an end to this global health crew us. as for doses, when can you get one? 50 million will be available this year worldwide. it's a two-dose shot, so that's enough for 25 million people. and it's one reason why president-elect joe biden could be tempering some optimism with this statement, and i read in part: even if that is achieved and some americans are vaccinated this year, it will be many more months before there is widespread vaccination in this country. and the other thing to consider is not everyone is going to raise their hands right away and say, yes, give me this shot. nonetheless, welcome relief for so many people, for so many businesses, for so many schools. finish i was just looking at some of the cruise lines, up 30%

in some cases. so it's going to be a good day today for investors and i think for americans and people worldwide. this is very promising news. brian: thanks a lot, lauren. it's unbelievable, the doom and bloom of the biden take on this. operation turbo is definitely paying off. could you imagine if this came off last month? warp speed, i should say. kind of interesting. how much better would dr. anthony fauci's zoom call with celebrities been yesterday if he had this news? meanwhile, president trump insists it's not over. with his campaign pushing forward op their the legal fight in several states. steve: here with reaction, fix news contributor and former senior adviser to president bush, karl rove. karl, welcome back. >> morning. steve: all right. so where are we with this? >> well, we're getting to a compressedded time frame. things are starting to move rather rapidly. the president, this is the week where he's got to file these election challenges. he filed some last week, most of

them were dismissed. one of them, one significant one, was upheld which was that observers in pennsylvania -- namely, philadelphia -- were not being allowed to be within the legally required 6 feet of the count and were given an obstructed view, and the judge said in this particular instance involving a specific center that immediately had to to be resolv. but this is a week where he's got to file these suits if he's going to file them, because we're now starting to run into official certifications. and once a state is officially certified, it gets a lot more difficult to overturn that decision. and remember, it's already are or hard to do this. in the last 50 years, we've had three instances in which statewide elections have been overturned in a recount, and in those three instances the difference was less than 500 votes separating the two candidates at the end of then unofficial count. and here we've got much larger differences. arizona, 17,000 votes separate

the two candidates, about half a percent. wisconsin, 20 -- biden is winning wisconsin by a smaller number than trump won it four years ago, 20,000 versus roughly 25, 0.62. pennsylvania, winning it by about the same number of votes in a slightly smaller percentage than four years ago. nevada, 35,000 votes, 2.6%. that gets to be really dicey. we've got georgia with 10,300 votes, military and provisional ballots yet to be called. i wouldn't be surprised to see that number shrink a little bit, and because of that there's 0.11% separating the two. under state law, this is already going to a recount. but if the president has evidence of systemic fraud, he's got to -- this is the week to unveil it and put it into the legal system. ainsley: when you hold up that the white board and look at the numbers, this election was so close. did you expect that? >> yeah. well, i've got to tell you, the president's last burst was incredible, and think about it, i mean, we had in wisconsin an

nbc poll saying he was down by 17%, and he's down by less than a point. and the real clear politics national average said that he was going to lose the popular vote by 7.2%, and he's about 3% behind today. might get a little bit bugger because -- bigger because they've gill got all those mail-in ballots they've got to count. but it was a remarkable achievement to close it up, but i don't think anybody in america would have expected this election to have been this close. and with it, remember, the republicans held -- appeared to hold the senate. it's 50-48 with two runoffs in florida, excuse me, in georgia. they increased the number of members in the house. i think we're going to end up with 226, 227-208 or 9 in the house, that's remarkable. the democrats were hoping to flip as many as half a dozen states and more than almost a dozen chambers, and instead the republicans gained the new

hampshire house, new hampshire senate and the alaska house and kept everyone else including the democrats spent $30 or $40 million in a handful, maybe a dozen races in texas to flip the texas house, and the republicans held the line. they didn't lose a single seat. brian: they got rio grande valley and hispanic vote. this is what the president's leg is su e is. talk about class, george w. bush congratlated joe biden, but he also said this: i want to congratulate president trump. he earned the votes of more than 70 million americans. they have spoken, and their voices will continue to be heard through elected republicans at every level of government. very classy, i thought, as usual from a guy i think we both agree is an extraordinary person. i want to bring you to some other things, and i want you to comment on that, but some other things that republicans are pointing to. sidney powell has a lot of respect, she came out among -- in legal circles.

she came out and said i'm going to look at 450,000 ballots found with only biden's name checked. i'm also going to examine the software from hammer and scorecard that could be used to flip votes from trump to biden. do you want to talk about that? >> well, first of all, i'm interested in the first one because there will be undervotes. that is to say we will have people who came into this election who said i'm only voting for, you know, i'm here to get trump out, i'm voting for biden and walking away. that's normal. i don't know how many there are of those, 450,000 sounds like a lot, particularly if it's in one state. but there are people who just walk in and say i'm here for one reason and one reason only, banker i'm off the here. -- bang, i'm out of here. so you have to sort of pick your way down the ballot. ing but i'd be interested to learn more about that. the software, look, there are software problems. in michigan, a republican county, discovered that there was a bug in the software, and i'm confident the moment they discovered that there was a bug,

everybody who was using that software jumped on top of it to see if they had a similar problem emerge in their count. but this happens as we move into the electronic age. there was a problem in software in 2000 in new mexico that if you voted for -- they had straight party voting. if you hit the republican or democratic box and then voted underneath, if you hit the republican box for bush or the democratic box for negotiation it kicked out your -- gore, it kicked out your ballot. they redid their retabulation as required under state law and discovered the problem, and bush went from, you know, he came from losing the state by something like, you know, 2,000 votes to losing it by 1,000 votes, and there were 16 other counties that used that software. but by the time they discovered thing bug, it was too late. so bush carrying 15 of those 16 other counties.

remember, when it comes to software, most counties in this country are red counties. so if you have widely used software and there's a problem that was discovered in a republican county -- and i'm confident it was immediately shared throughout all of their users and the results were examined. steve: karl, you mentioned the balance of power in the senate could hinge on georgia. democrats there are already revealing their hand, they're going to make the argument that republicans bungled the coronavirus response, and then republicans are going to say, look, the democrats want to take georgia to the liberal extremes, and chuck schumer gave 'em a gift over the weekend when he said this. watch. >> now we take georgia and we change the world. [cheers and applause] >> now we take georgia, then we change america. steve: is that what georgia wants to do, karl? >> well, first of all, full

disclosure, i'm the chairman of a fundraising effort for the republican senatorial campaign committee for georgia, but, no. thank you, chuck schumer. after doing a fantastic job of lousy candidate recruitment and wasting tens of millions of dollars in races you were never going to win, thank you now for capping it off. it's the trifecta, what an incredible comment. that comment is going to give each day in every conservative county in georgia how you want to win georgia and change america. no, no, we want to make america better, but we don't want to transform america into something really weird like you want to do. so, no -- [laughter] this was incredibly stupid on his part. thank you, chuck schumer. really appreciate it, and i'll get you a nice, you know, holiday gift as a result. ainsley: here's your campaign ad. thanks so much, great to see you. >> you bet, thank you. ainsley: joe biden vowing to unite the country, but our next guest is putting the pressure on the president-elect to prove it's not another empty promise.

points awe ahead of the bell, maria bartiromo will join us, and longtime host of jeopardy alex trebek dead at 80. reaction pouring in this morning. come join us live from "america's newsroom" as we begin a brand new week, top of the hour. steve: president-elect joe biden calling for unity after democrats resisted the trump add managers for four more years. our next guest says if it really wants unity with trump supporters, let's see what happens next. new york post columnist michael goodwin joins us now. that's the question, what's next? >> good morning, steve. well, look, biden has been talking about unity a hot, and my wish is that -- a lot, and my wish is that he really meant it. because already we're seeing signs that he didn't. it really has no bearing for the trump supporters. 70 million people and counting voted for donald trump, and if

joe biden thinks he can just say, well, let's all unite now and that's all going to happen, i think he's going to be rudely surprised because a lot of those people, as you were just reporting, still have serious doubts about the election results in many states. and i think there's the also what exactly mandate did biden win because, certainly, there's no support elsewhere up and down the ballots for packing the court, the green new deal. these things really got a no vote if you're going to hook at congress for any of that -- look at congress for any of that. so i think biden really has to take the size of the trump support seriously if he's going to unite the country because otherwise if you're going to refer to them as idiots and racists as michelle obama did, if you're going to try to keep a list as alexandria ocasio-cortez and others are doing, you're going to really find yourself with in a situation of unresolve

bl conflict, and that's not good for the country. so i think biden, frankly, he could go the whole way and say, look, let's resolve these counting issues first. let's find out the truth, and let's call on the democrats to have transparency because so far he hasn't, and it's the democrats who have blocked up the windows with cardboard and who are appealing all these court decisions. let it all hang out. let's see what really happened in these states. that's the only way, i think, to get people to have confidence in his administration. steve: all right. michael goodwin, our time is short because of the breaking news. sir, thank you very much. we'll be right back.
