i was standing face to face saying i cannot believe i'm meeting charlie daniels. it's just amazing. i'm glad they did that because is he such a legend. brian: hero played live at all our concert series. ainsley: yeah, he did. brian: every time see an awards show never thought i would yearn for it but a sign of normalcy. bring us out of this. i'm not sure they have more time to make music. sooner or later i saw one of the as soon as this vaccine comes out work out something where you prove you have the vaccine and you can come in and watch a concert. a lot of these performers. a lot a lot of will. get 500 in a theater or a bargain but it seems like we are going in the opposite direction. steve: we are just over it. brian: griff jenkins joins us live from washington as the trump campaign files a new lawsuit in michigan. that's not the only lawsuit, griff. griff: that's right, brian, ainsley and steve. i missed al way awards show i

was up keeping tabs on how many lawsuits the president is ramping up legal battle across the country. start in michigan and try to give you the lay of the land. the trump campaign has filed a lawsuit alleging the credentialed election challengerers were blocked from having sufficient view of the vote counting process resulting in votes being tallied. one of the workers in michigan coming forward claiming she witnessed fraud firsthand. watch. >> kant confronted my boss, and he told me that he doesn't want to hear it. he didn't want to hear it. he said it is not our job to be running their election. we are here to assist with it. >> in pennsylvania, the trump campaign filed five appeals. philadelphia county's board of election decision to count different categories of mail in absentee ballots. this as pennsylvania state republican senators announce they're doing a formal review of the election results. out in arizona a judge today will hear oral arguments regarding a current lawsuit

alleging maricopa county poll workers wrongly rejected votes. and finally down in georgia, they are going to be busy, the secretary of state there announcing a hand recount of every vote with a deadline of november 20th. meanwhile, president-elect biden announces his new chief of staff, you see him here ron klain who served at his chief of staff when he was vice president. he was also obama's aczar in 2019. praises him on twitter. ron kayleigh mcenany's kayleigrs precisely what i need in a white house chief of staff as we confront this moment of crisis and bring our country together again and as the transition team tries to move forward. bernie sanders is reassuring progressives that the president-elect will honor his progressive promises. watch. >> do i expect that they will come forward and keep their word in maintaining and legislating

on the proposals which we agree to? yes, i do. griff: so one candidate tries to move forward with the transition while the other candidate, president trump is, mounting these legal battles. we will see where they ultimately go. fox news by the way, called yesterday another state alaska. its electoral votes go to president trump. brian, ainsley, steve? steve: all right, griff. thank you very much. also the president got good news yesterday because in arizona the campaign, trump picked up almost 1200 votes as they counted another 13,000. but, in that state, joe biden still leads by 11,000 with 25,000 more to count it. all comes down to can they find widespread corruption and voter fraud and that really is what it is all about. when you hear about all these lawsuits, for instance sharpy gate. they say that probably involves 150 ballots. when you hear about nonresidents voting. as it turns out there is a number of military spouses who are in other states and voted in

nevada. and that is part of the story behind the story. so, nonetheless, for instance, down in georgia we are going to have the selves with us in about 10 minutes. they are going to have a manual hand count, first time they have ever done this particular kind of system before. they are going to look at each and every page and make sure it's exactly the vote as it was counted on election day. and that's important because native of georgia, newt gingrich says, it's all about faith. >> something like 70% of the republicans in this country do not belief this was an honest election. the only way you can heal that is to go back through and all the key states that are in doubt and methodically count the votes and have hand counts. i think what the secretary of state in georgia is doing is exactly right. if at the end, they don't find very many votes, then biden will have carried georgia. but everybody will then know it was a fair and accurate

election. at the present time, a vast number of americans do not believe that. and think that frankly they are being railroaded. steve: in the pages of the "wall street journal" this morning karl rove writes that to win president trump must prove systemic fraud with illegal votes in the tens of thousands and, ainsley, he says so far there is no evidence of that. ainsley: yeah. that's why a lot of people are saying well then recount. what they are doing in georgia seems very fair. let's just recount and make sure we can all have confidence in this election. when you look at the statistics so many people that are not confident in the fact that their vote was counted or that something was done illegally. we have all heard these different stories of like that lady's story. we have heard different accounts of what's happening. we just all want to know when we go to the polls that our vote is going to count. listen, this is -- that's why i think all eyes are really on georgia right now. not only the recount but what's going to happen with the chamber, with the senate?

because, if the republicans lose the senate, then democrats will have both chambers and the presidency and they could pack the court. many people are worried about that. and that's why so many politicians are flocking to georgia to fight for these candidates there. this was marco rubio in georgia with kelly loeffler. listen to this. >> this is literally, you know, the showdown of all showdowns in terms of politics and what it means. we don't want to win one of them. we want to win both of them. we need to win both of them. >> road to socialism does not run through georgia. [cheers and applause] so, you may have heard now we take georgia, then we change america. well, you know what? that's right. no way. chuck schumer, nancy pelosi, you're not going to take georgia. it's ours. ainsley: brian, democrats would have to win both and republicans would have to win one.

brian: second amendment is going to be big there libertarian that ran with -- ran on the perdue side is about 2%. that 2% is supposed to be with people of pro-second amendment that would clearly go with perdue on top of that you look at ossoff a guy who leans as i think tom cotton said it best. he seems to be a trust fund kid who wants to be a socialist has got some disturbing link cages. is he still in his young 30's. we will see if perdue can pull out there. he had a 2 point lead in any other state he wins going away. that's about the distance thom tillis had in north carolina and walked away with this. kelly loeffler walks in and she will get a lot of support from republicans now that doug collins is out of way because is he extremely popular answered had over 20% of the vote. she had 24%. doug collins has endorsed her. he is overseeing now the recount in georgia. they are doing something pretty interesting. they are almost running together as a team. they are able pool some money

and appearances and get some momentum. the question is what will the president do and how will he help in the will the president going down there all i'm in or will he say i'm better off away from this ticket and let georgians run the georgian election. i worry about the amount of people going to become georgia residents like thomas freidman wants them to to get into the race totally disingenuous and i would be pretty angry if i was a georgia resident on the other side of the aisle. john kennedy weighed in on what's at stake. senator schumer made it easy for everyone. >> this election in georgia will be the most important in the history of ever, at least in terms of its ramifications on the country. if the republicans lose the senate majority, and the left of lennon wing of the democratic party gets in control as it will, controlling both the senate and the house, you have

nothing to worry about unless you are a taxpayer, a business owner, a parent, a gun owner, a cop, a person of faith or an unborn baby. brian: by the way there is a huge push on the left to push joe biden to the left. there is going to be a big challenge for him to withstand that. especially if he has the senate. now, not every time i understand with a 50-50. if democrats take both and is unlikely not every time is the vice president going to come in on every single issue but there is going to be a rotation thing there. did you go back to tom daschle and senator trent lot they had this deal he had this to work through. for the most part you know that senator schumer made it clear downtown said it twice he is going to change america. and there is a loft people going to work with senator schumer to change america. steve: exactly, brian. in fact they are now running an

ad down in georgia where they run that soundbite and then they say their change it would reduce funding for police, eliminate employer based health insurance. pack the supreme court. chip away at our religious freedom and gun rights. then rick scott who is running in the senate trying to get more republicans elected said don't let these radicals change america. michael moore wrote an open letter to joe biden and essentially would like him to change his centrist ways. he suggests in his facebook post that he putt up yesterday, that the best thing that joe biden could do would be to go into the white house like fdr on steroids, i he said. and he said a lot more. here he is. >> i see various people in the media and elsewhere trying to take credit for your victory and using their personal agendas to push you away from the progressive left. and toward the cowardly center. they think because trump got

70 million votes that the democrats should now reject, reject black lives matter and reject aoc, and reject anything that vaguely sounds like ssss socialism. please do not make the same mistake that an otherwise well-meaning and well-intentioned president obama made. charge in there on january 20th like fdr on steroids and go big. steve: there you go. what he is suggesting is hey joe biden don't forget about all the people under 335 who have embraced socialism. you will need them in the democratic party going forward. also he talked about ainsley, ditching the electoral college and universal healthcare. ainsley: yeah, not everyone thinks like hollywood. so many more -- i feel like there is so many more middle of the road democrats. hollywood and new york, yeah, they are progressive.

that's how they feel. that's how michael moore feels. look at south carolina. the democrats in south carolina are saying that they're losing house seats nationally because these progressives are going in and saying defund the police. well, sout south korea south carolinians don't want that they need to see what the rest of the world looks like. there are all these steps in between. the flyover states. they feel strongly about police officers and supporting our military and the people that protect our families. brian: no question, yeah. and i will add to that aoc and the socialist left who added one more person to have the squad obviously from new york who want to go medicare for all. go full bore socialism or green new deal. jacobs comes out i'm a democratic chairperson in nassau county i have got to do these things like winning over republicans.

i can't do it. you need two sets of binoculars to see a republican in queens. i live with them and we're losing all these elections because you and others are getting the most publicity and pushing the party to the left. it doesn't have national residentsresidence. best of luck with your podcast. we will see where that goes. go over to jillian mele who has other news. jillian: extreme weather. tropical storm eta making a second landfall overnight. one man died after being electrocuted in standing water at his home in bradenton beach. heavy rain from eta causing flooding in areas like sarasota rescue crews driving through flooded streets pinnal his county. several homes under water in saint highest number reported in one day. comes as every state sees a spike in infections. more than 65,000 people are now

steve: the state of georgia is preparing for a full by hand recount of nearly 5 million votes cast in the presidential race. our next guest is the man in charge. he joins us right now. georgia secretary of state brad roethlisberger. good morning to you, brad. >> good morning. steve: what you where to do has never been done before. explain what you are going to do. >> it actually has been done in other races but this would be a

full hand recount because w we e are conducting a risk limiting audit it trigger as state like we would have had to pull out 1.5 million ballots anyway. it's easier to pull out all 5 million and reach out to every single one of them. steve: look at each. pick each piece of paper and look at it for what? >> did they want president trump. vice president biden or the libertarian candidate. there will be three stacks. and then they will just count them up. steve: just like that. what if there is a problem for instance there have been allegations across the country about signatures were -- did not match what you had on file and things like that. if there is a question about that, how do you figure it out because you have got a pile of the ballots over here and for the mail-in or the absentees, the envelopes are some place else? how do you figure out which envelope went with ballots? >> well, in some cases that's

true. some cases they are actually still together if there was a ballot adjudicated and there was a concern at the original time. all the envelopes should be available for inspection regardless so that people can look at those. we will have open and transparent progress. we have the 5 million that gets wwe recounted and. steve: how soon can you get that done. >> stesks by the secretary of state is november 209. that's our goal. the big counties told us yesterday that they can hit it. they will be working overtime and hard it's a big lift but november 20th. steve: okay. well, good luck to all the people who are doing that currently in your state, joe biden leads by about 14,000. generally, with this kind of recounted and audit and recanvassing or however you want to depict it, how many errors are picked up? >> i believe it will be

relatively small amount. i think that you will find that the machine count that we did will be fairly accurate. steve: okay. that's what people are looking for because ultimately as we just heard from senator kennedy it's all about faith in the system, isn't it? >> exactly. at the end of the day you may not like the results but it will be an accurate recount and we'll know exactly what the vote totals are. steve: yeah. you have taken some heat over the last week. you are a republican secretary of state. and yet the two sitting senators from georgia both republican have said because there were so many problems with the election last week you have got to go. you are not going to go, are you? >> . i'm not going any place. i stood here by the voters. that's the people that will decide my fate. >> why do you think they said that? why do you think they want you out? >> you would have to ask them what their motivations were. i'm a small business owner. all i know in my business world, you know, business leaders don't

put out statements unless they can back it up by facts. steve: and you are confident that at the end of the day, after all this stuff that your office is doing by november 20th the results certified will be accurate? >> yes, it will. every single ballot will be hand counted. steve: it sounds like you can't ask for more than that bath wrapsberger we know you have a busy couple of weeks. >> god bless. steve: you are already at the office that says a lot. 6:26 here on the east coast. joe biden's tax plan will-likely face republican resistance on capitol hill. but defined a way to raise taxes without congress? charles payne with the discussion on that. he's next. ♪ i traveled the world and the seven seas ♪ everybody's looking for

regulations through administrative action without a senate. joining us now to discuss that is making money guy fox business' own charles payne he is on it, too. first he is on with us. what do you mean i could do something with executive orders? >> yeah, by increasing the taxes are a cost, right? so he obviously will not raise taxes in the way like. to say you start to unravel regulations. these regulations would add an additional burden on businesses while bringing money into the federal government. but here's the thing. these regulations as they were being unwound actually had a benefit for all of society some of these things help things like the vehicles like. vehicle sales and some of these other things that keep people employed. so, i really worry about this -- these sort of hidden costs that are going to be layered upon layer upon layer. president trump unraveled hundreds of them and he saved the economy billions of dollars and i think that those billions

of dollars of savings are one of the reasons why we saw business investment start to come on like gang busters, wages come on like they haven't come on in over a decade. shared prosperity. if that's the goal, if you start these hidden taxes by bringing on more regulations you are going to nip that the in bud. >> i'm not telling you anything new if i tell you cases are coming up cases of coronavirus. not telling you anything new that europe is flat on its back in the midst of a lockdown in france and germany and belgium and spain and italy. looks like one of the key aides to joe biden we might be heading to lockdown two. he floated the idea of shutting down for six weeks small and medium businesses to drive down infection numbers jewels in time for the vaccine. from a business standpoint, could this be more disastrous? haven't relearned anything from the first lockdown and that is it doesn't work? interest you would have fought they would have pivoted.

sanders. you know, there is a loft infighting right now, karol within the democratic party. they are trying to figure out which way to go. what do you think about this? >> it's interesting because i think that a lot of people believe that the progressive wing is the future of that party. and i think the democrats are sort of in denial about that. they gave them such a small slot during the convention and sort of pushed them off to the slide. then they do have to court their vote. the democrats absolutely have awoke sector problem with the aocs and the bernies and the rest of the squad because they're loud and they don't stop and they're going to keep targeting the democrats until they get what they want. ainsley: karol i want to play this soundbite this is james carville talking about it democratic strategist and great message for the progressives. listen to. this some of these woke people need to take a nap, all right? i mean we have got -- we have some good candidates out there. we lost some close races. and we have got to get back up

and win these two races in georgia. some of the things that we are hearing from some of the more extreme elements of the democratic party -- and i don't think that was helpful. >> yeah. ainsley: have they gone too far? >> so what's interesting, i think that james carville he knows the reality is that those wokesters, those progressives only come for other democrats. sure they can attempt to go after republicans but it doesn't really work out for them. it's a circular firing squad with them they love targeting other democrats. james carville is a party guy. is he not interested in taking out other democrats just because they happen to have other agreements. brian: he doesn't think the socialist thing resonates. here is a memo from the left. boy, i hope they work this out it's really tearing me up. they say this about nancy pelosi. when democratic leaders make unforced errors like showing off two subzero freezers showing ice

cream on television and cozy up for tells voters we're the party of the swamp. it's not surprising that we lose. i mean, this is the stuff that you usually get on secure conference calls. they are having these conversations out loud. >> right. > brian: siding with how can they both lose? >> yeah. that progressive wing is not afraid of nancy pelosi. and they have shown that over and over again. the fact that she allows them sort of to remain on the line is a real tell here. i think she knows they are very dangerous and she has to be very careful with them. yeah, nancy needs to watch her back right now. steve: no kidding. karol, you know this covid-19 vaccine cannot come fast enough. we are seeing spikes all across the country. new york, new jersey and connecticut have imposed new rules. for instance, they are closing the bars at 10:00 and the restaurants as well. can you still get takeout. you can't stand at a bar, things like that. then they are suggesting, cdc

suggested if you have thanksgiving, have it outdoors. and then around new york city they are talking -- and with governor cuomo he suggested that you have 10 people or less for thanksgiving. however, there is one republican, a new york councilman by the name of joe borelli, he tweeted this out. i will be having more than 10 people at my house on thanksgiving. my address is public knowledge. some family will come from new jersey. kids will see their grandparents, cousins will play in the yard. sis-in-law will bring shawbery rhubarb pie and turkey will be overcooked it. sounds like a normal thanksgiving but, at the same time, how do you strike the happy medium where try protect grand manchester councilman borelli does not play i love that tweet. you have to be safe. in our family we're going to be sort of on a lockdown in advance of that we are not going to be seeing anybody else except our family. we are going to get tested there are ways to do it safely. the idea that you cannot just

have thanksgiving with your family is absurd. you know these politicians making these rules are going to have thanksgiving with their family. family is important. you should go see them on thanksgiving. i absolutely the message that i have for all americans. brian: will they kick your door down if you are caught with 13 people. >> this is where the line. [talking at the same time] >> come back with a warrant. don't let anybody in your house. authoritarians try to come in your house, don't let them. ainsley: all right, karol, thank you so much. >> thank you. ainsley: hand it over to janice who has the forecast. janice: we had a fourth landfall of eta. we will be saying goodbye to this storm shortly. look at the trajectory nicaragua category 5 storm. over cuba and two landfalls in florida. this is the latest just south of cedar key. made landfall earlier this morning. it's going to continue to move north and east. the potential for flash flooding along its path as it finally

exits out into the atlantic, helping cold front along as well. so showers and thunderstorms not only for florida, southeast mid-atlantic up towards the northeast as this cold front moves on through. there's the track. 50 mile-per-hour sustained winds. so still gusty winds. flash flooding is going to be a possibility as well as isolated tornadoes on the path of this storm as we go out to friday and saturday, but, by tomorrow, it will be well out to sea, which will be great news. there is. so heavy rainfall across the mid-atlantic. that's courtesy of mostly that cold front moving through and temperatures are going to drop. remember we have had like way above average across the eastern half of the country that's going to, you know, start to even out and more seasonal temperatures as we head into the weekend. all right, steve, ainsley, brian, back to you my friends. brian: all right. you got the whole world right behind you. let me tell you what's straight ahead. are you considering getting a covid shot once it's available? hear from a volunteer who tested the pfizer vaccine and why he is excited about their progress with "fox & friends."

, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

of injection site pain and then i couldn't stand it i went and my doctor ran a full antibody test about two weeks after i had the second injection and i showed antibodies. ainsley: so it did work? >> i mean i haven't caught the coronavirus so that's a good thing. ainsley: yeah and you have the antibodies. some people got the placebo that's what i meant did you get the vaccine or placebo. i was reading articles yesterday about some of the people who were a part of your study and some of the side effects. what did you go through? it was two shots, right? how did you feel after each shot? >> after the first shot it was a little bit more severe than i thought. it was basically i had a headache and i had a lot of fatigue. injection site pain. it lasted about 24 hours. the pain in my arm lasted about i would say 72. maybe three to four days. the second one it was similar, but it was much more muted. it wasn't as strong. i think i took some advil a second time and basically they

cleared up. ainsley: i'm sure you feel a lot safer and probably free from a lot of the worries that a lot of americans are going through right now when they go out in public or have to go to the grocery store, that kind of thing. do you recommend people take it? >> yes. get it as soon as you can i know there is going to be some kind of phased rollout or something like that. i would recommend get it as soon as possible. it's a vaccine. we have been getting vaccines most of our lives. i had talked to my doctor. he said don't worry about it. there are differences in how this one works. but, in the end, it's still just a vaccine and people shouldn't be scared of it. ainsley: why did you decide to do it. >> had actually just read a news article that austin, texas, was going to be one of the places where they were going to try to gather volunteers. i saw it. i called the company up that was administering the trial and i just -- i went from there. it wasn't -- it wasn't

complicated. the people that do all the work, that administer this, this phase, and i had -- i had to basically just sit there and just take orders. it wasn't hard. ainsley: well, we all want our lives back and we can't thank you enough for volunteering to do this so we can all get that vaccine eventually. you said hearing of its success was like hearing the ringing of war bells. thank you so much, glen, for being with us this morning, giving us all hope. >> thank you. ainsley: you're welcome. coming up, senator tom cotton at the top of the hour plus senator lindsey graham, kayleigh mcenany, katie pavlich as well as joe concha ♪ ♪ can't nobody bring me down ♪ and i just got paid ♪ and i think i'm going to hit the town ♪ and i promise - [narrator] with the ninja foodi power pitcher, you can crush ice, make smoothies, and do even more.

[talking at the same time]

brian: according to the study i do with myself the coolest segment of musicians. i was never cool enough to hang with the heavy metal. they seem like every day men and women that you just want to have a beer with and probably they would offer to pay. steve: sure. and they socially distance so you could have the beer at 6 feet. brian: most celebrities socially distance from me even before the pandemic. steve: today a combination of music, television and news television because we are a news channel. and the very latest on the election. you want to know what's going on. griff jenkins joins us live from washington, d.c. and, griff, the president continues to file lawsuits. the new one, the state of michigan. griff: that's right. steve, ainsley and brian good morning. the president building cases of alleged building fraud and irregularities across the country starting with the one in michigan you mentioned. the trump campaign has filed a lawsuit alleging credentialed election challengers were blocked from having sufficient view of the vote counting process that resulted in ineligible ballots being tallied. one of the michigan ballot workers is now coming forward claim she go witnessed fraud

firsthand. >> confronted my boss and he told me that he doesn't want to hear it. he didn't want to hear it. he said that is not our job to be running their election. we are here to assist with it. >> pennsylvania, the trump campaign filing five appeals. philadelphia county's board of elections decision to count different categories of mail-in absentee ballots. this as pennsylvania's gop state senators announce a formal review of the election results. now, out in arizona today a judge will hear oral arguments regarding a lawsuit alleging maricopa county poll workers wrongly rejected votes. down in georgia, not a lawsuit, but they are going to be busy because the secretary of state announcing a hand recount of every vote cast with a counting deadline of november 20th. meanwhile, president-elect biden announces his new chief of staff. you see him here. ron klain, who served as biden's chief of staff as vice president. now klain was also president obama's ebola czar in 2014.

and as the transition team moves forward with personnel decisions bernie sanders is reassures progressives that the president-elect will honor promises made. >> do i expect that they will come forward and keep their word in maintaining and legislating on the proposals which we agree to? yes, i do. griff: and senator sanders is one of those eyeing a position in the cabinet saying he would accept labor secretary in offered. that would be something to watch. brian, ainsley, steve? brian: all right, griff. good job. a lot of court cases and certain amount of states they want to examine. still over 10,000 votes in all of them. even though arkansas' lead is shrinking every single day. president trump picked up another 1100 votes last night. let's bring in arkansas' finest senator from the g.o.p. senator tom cotton member of the senate intel committee. senator, so far i know in the past have you said you support wanted the president's push when it comes to finding out what happened in these battleground

states. but, as karl rove says today, unless there is something systemic wrong with these voting, it looks like this is going to be being too big of a mountain to climb, do you agree? >> good morning, brian. brian: good morning. >> there is no doubt there is multiple states in which the president would need to come from behind or have a significant number of ballots disqualified due to some of the troubling instances of fraud that griff just covered. they are still counting votes in arizona. they will do a manual recount in georgia there are lawsuits filed in other states like pennsylvania and michigan. i think we have the time to let the president pursue all of these remedies. i don't believe these democrats in 2,000 telling al gore the week after the election that it was time to concede and of course the democrats in 2016 never really did concede. they immediately moved to the fake russia collusion hoax and try to undermine the legitimacy of the president's first term. so i think we have more than enough time to reach an orderly resolution using existing legal

procedures to ensure that every legal vote counts and no illegal votes are counted. steve: and, in fact, you mentioned georgia. we had the secretary of state, republican, brad rafs persiane r audit is essentially they take a sample and then they estimate how it would span the entire elections. they are actually going to look at each peels of paper for this reason. watch. >> because we are conducting a risk limiting audit, it really triggers then a statewide recount. we would have had to pull out 1.5 million ballots anyway. it's just easier to pull out all 5 million and just reach out to every single one of them. we will have open and transparence process. the certification by the office of secretary of state is november 20th. that's our goal.

and the county said they can -- the big counties told us yesterday that they can hit it. they will be working overtime. they will be working hard. it's a big lift. at the end of the day you may not like the results. but it will be an accurate recount and we will know exactly what the vote totals are. steve: i wonder if there is a possibility, senator, that after this manual recount they could actually find enough votes for david perdue that puts him over 50? i don't know if that's possible. but that would change everything. >> well, steve, it certainly would. as your viewers probably know, in georgia, a candidate needs more than 50% to avoid a runoff. senator perdue fell just short of it just a few thousand votes short of it. while they conduct this manual recount for the presidential race. they will be checking the other races as well. if that weather that happens it is vital that we elect david perdue and kelly loeffler back to the senate to stop senator schumer if we take georgia we change america.

that's the stakes of this election. chuck schumer laid that out well. the basis georgians voting i suspect most georgians don't want to change america along the lines of chuck schumer's wishes. ainsley: remember when chuck schumer said this just a few days ago? >> now we take georgia and we change the world. >> i'm sorry, could you repeat that mr. schumer? >> now we take georgia, and then we change america. ainsley: this is a political ad. ainsley: before you comment on, this let's run the ad we all said they are going to take that soundbite and they will make an ad about this republicans are and use it against him. listen to this. >> their change, reduce funding for police, eliminate employer based health insurance. pack the supreme court, chip away at our religious freedom and gun rights. georgia, don't let these radicals change america.

ainsley: a lot is at stake here. whoever wins these two, the democrats need both before them and republicans need one. and i understand you are actually going to georgia. i know a lot of republican officials are going to georgia to help out. what are you going to do? >> yeah, ainsley. i was in georgia before the election campaigning and i will be back there so many other republican will. you might want to put extra stuffing and hang an extra chris stocking in georgia because the stakes of this election are so high. as you heard chuck schumer wants to change america. he wants to pack our supreme court. the democrats want to make washington, d.c. a state. they want to eliminate the electoral college. they want to grant amnesty and voting rights to 15 million illegal immigrants, raise your taxes, take your guns, defund our police. those are the stakes of this election if georgia sends a trust fund socialist like jon ossoff and jeremiah wright's best supporter in georgia raphael warnock to the united states senate. i don't think they will do that they will elect david perdue and

kelly loeffler. brian: yesterday it was brought up kelly loeffler is looking into the fact that warnock and another minister accused of hindering an investigation child abuse at church run camp back in 2002. stuff glanced over earlier because of the judge del primary with doug collins in it. now there is going to be a laser light focus and see where that goes because there is going to be a lot of people moving into stacey abrams house or something in georgia to establish residency. it's going to be chaos up until january 5th, tom. >> yeah. brian. i think with raphael warnock's. he skated without any exposure of his record. in addition to those allegations of child abuse at a camp he ran, he genuinely was jeremiah wright's best supporter in georgia. let's remember what jeremiah

wright said from his pews or from his church in chicago as barack obama and michelle obama didn't just sit in his church for 20 years. jeremiah wright married the two of them. jeremiah wright said things like 9/11 were america's chickens coming home to roost. he said not god bless america. god damns america. he was so radical, so extreme that barack obama ultimately repudiated the man who married him to his wife. yet raphael warnoc raffaele ware deserves to be celebrated. jeremiah wright said anti-met particular things. raphael warnock said israel built on apartheid as if it wasn't the biblical homeland of the jewish people and they stole that land from the palestinians and oppressing them ever since. this the is record of raphael warnock that has not been exposed and will be exposed over the next two months. brian: i think you just did it. steve: james carville the democratic-- strike that just who has worked on that side for decades and has been very

successful, he talked a little bit yesterday on another channel actually two days ago on tuesday talked a little bit about that senate race but he also talked a little bit about how far the house lost races on the democratic side and this was his observation. listen to this, senator. >> some of these woke people need to take a nap, all right? i mean, we got -- we have some good candidates out there. we lost some close races. and we got to get back up and win these two races in georgia. some of the things that we are hearing from some of the more extreme elements of the democratic party and i don't think that was helpful. steve: he doesn't think it was helpful. but, senator, so, if you are joe biden and the people who are trying to put together his team, you know, we had heard before the election, that while he was running as a centrist, some of the people who are in his more extreme portion of the party were saying once he gets elected we will pull him to the left. that's the problem right now. what's he going to do?

>> yeah. steve. here is all you need to know about the house of representatives. nancy pelosi lost seats, buff the squad won seats. alexandria ocasio-cortez and the rest of her members of the squad are adding new members. so many, in fact, that they can deny nancy pelosi a majority on any single bill whether it's defunding the police or raising taxes or con face skating guns or simply renaming a post office. that's one reason why you have people like james carville and jim clyburn who are liberals. they are not moderates. they have been around long enough they can count votes who are telling people like the squad to stop arguing for defunding the police because it's politically hurtful. not because it's a bad idea but because it's bad politics. democrats are running the number one advocate for defunding the police down in georgia raphael warnock. that's why it's important we run these races squad will determine what bills are passed out of the house of representatives. we don't want the democrats in the senate passing the squad's

legislation. brian: are you sure you can't run in georgia have you chikd the rules? it seems like you are ready to go. steve: one state at a time. >> i had good months at fort benning i had fond memories of my time and look forward to being back for the holidays. brian: since that time have you grown your hair out. [laughter] >> just a little bit more so than when i was in ranger school and officer candidate school for sure. ainsley: thank you, senator, for all of your service. we appreciate you being on with us this morning. >> thank you all. ainsley: jillian has headlines for us. you are welcome. jillian? jillian: good morning, begin with extreme weather. tropical storm teat making a second landfall in florida overnight. we have learned one man died after being electrocuted inenned thatting water at his home in bradenton beach. heavy rain from eta causing flooding in sarasota. rescue crews driving through streets? pinellas county. several homes under water in st. petersburg. the man charged with murdering a

police sergeant is being held on $500,000 bail. court records reveal robert solis is a documented gang member. he was out on bail for unrelated gun charge. his lawyer wants an outside agency to investigate claiming houston police will be biased. police are still searching for an extreme person of interest seen there in the black shirt talking to solis. sergeant sean rios was on his way to work when he was killed. memorial plans have not been announce the 30 term as rnc chair. the president tweeting quote, i am pleased to announce that i that i have given my full support and endorsement to ronna mcdaniel to continue leading the republican national committee. with 72 million votes, we received more votes than any sitting president in u.s. history, and we will win. with president trump's backing mcdaniel is expected to run for another term. today tiger woods will finally get the chance to defend his green jacket. the masters tournament gets

underway after being postponed from april due to the pandemic. so, it has been, if you are keeping track, 579 days since tiger won his fifth masters but he is not the favored to win this year. sham bow getting the best odz followed by johnson who tied for second last year. a look at your headlines. i get confused when we do sports at a time when they are not supposed to be. what month is it. brian: i know. they all hate one thing. they have to take on football on sunday. and it never goes well for any other sport. we will see what happens this time. if tiger is in the hunt it doesn't matter. thanks so much, jillian. meanwhile coming up straight ahead, perhaps the closest congressional race in the country coming down to just 40 votes. we're going to talk to republican now claiming victory in iowa next. but, first, here is the brothers osborne paying tribute trudy last night's cma awards.

the growing number of republican women elected to congress. joining me now to talk to b. her race is mariannette miller-meeks. good morning to you. >> good morning, ainsley. how are you? ainsley: i'm doing well. thank you so much. i noticed on social media have you declared a victory but fox news has not called that, ap has not called it yet. why do you think have you already won? >> well, the races in iowa are very descriptive and very detailed. so on election night we were ahead votes but there is a process of provisional ballots and absentee ballots that have to be counted. but there is also within our code and our law that all of our counties have to do their audit and their canvassing and that has to be done by monday or tuesday of this week. and then those canvass have to be certified by their board of supervisors and turned into secretary of state. so, yesterday all the official canvass were completed or on tuesday all the official canvass were completed. we were ahead in votes, and so that makes us the winner of this election. that doesn't mean there is not

processes that we still have to go through. ainsley: i know there were questions about jasper county, about lucas county. what's the status on those counties now because i understand there have been two recounts. >> well, jasper county was -- that was a process by which we made very restrained in our public comments because we wanted information transparency and we wanted to know all the votes were counted. we had had ahead votes and in a matter of hours we were subtraction of 406 votes which then put us behind our opponent. and we did not make any comments about any malicious intent. but we wanted to noe what the process was. how that happened. and we thought that the voters of the second congressional district needed to know that too. every legal ballot should count. that process took the let of legal action in order to get some plausible explanation for why that happened and we got that on monday. and then on monday night as that

was transpiring, while lucas county was doing their audit they found in one of their precincts that if there were ballots, 217 ballots cast for me that were not reported to the secretary of state on election night. and 54 ballots for my opponent. that put me up ahead. with the absentee ballots that were cured. the provisional ballots that were cured and then this mistake uncovered within lucas county that then put us ahead. ainsley: okay. so you are running against rita harsh. she did release a statement she is a democrat she said given multiple hours found in jasper and lucas county given at the 11th hour the county should take care to ensure they have counted every ballot and the totals are correct. all right. well, what do you plan to do in washington? >> what i plan to do in washington is hit the ground running. i'm a person that i left home at 16 after being severely burned in a fire to put myself through medical school and nursing school and so i am a person that is a 24-year military veteran, a doctor, former director of the

iowa department of public health and the voters in the second district voted for someone to go to washington in order to help get us through this pandemic, prepare us for the next one. address healthcare, rising healthcare costs. make it affordable and portable. tackle prescription drug benefits and rising prescription drug costs and then work on getting jobs and reopening our economy in the safe and effective manner. part of that is infrastructure bill for our area and i have done those things in our state senate as a state senator in a bipartisan manner working together across the aisle to do those things. and i will do those things and hit the ground running in washington, d.c. ainsley: okay. we wish you all the best. thank you so much for coming on with us. >> well, thank you so much. ainsley: you are welcome. all right. coming up next, meet dax. iis he a decorate you had sheriff's canine who saves lives and protects his community. he is featured in the latest fox nation show hero dogs after the break. first, here is john pardony

dax. >> good morning. steve: it's good to have you. >> thanks for having us. steve: you bet. john, you have said that he is a type a dog and i'm a type a person. what do you mean? what i'm referring to him n. him is he a high drive dog. high drive for a toy and subsequently that's what his reward system is for working. he loves to play with the toy. loves to work. and i'm a similar personality where, you know, i'm a workaholic. i enjoy the job. i love the job. i love to train. so, combination of his drive in the dog and me as a handler police officer is a good combination. so, that's why we bond so well and work so well together. steve: right. and you mentioned training. and we look at dax right there training. you were a trainer for a long time before you went to work for the sheriff's department. weren't you? >> i was fortunate enough to

have 10 years worth of experience as a trainer. as a could i nincanine trainer a handler and get dax. steve: sure. you know, most people in law enforcement if they have a partner and they ride around in the car all day -- hey, pay attention, dax. they ride around in the car all day with each other. the partners talk to each other. but your partner is a dog. do you talk to the dog and, more importantly, does the dog talk back somehow? >> i do talk to him. i talk to him a lot. obviously there is commands in obedience and direction that i need to give him. he understands our language so it says something about dogs where i can give him commands answered understands it. i'm sure he talks back to me the way is he barking or growling or making noise. unfortunately i don't understand that as well as he understands me. but there is a lot of back and forth between us that goes on

during the course of a normal shift while we are working. steve: i bet. through the years, you and dax have apprehended close to 200 suspects and while each case is different. the ones that make you the most proud and obviously dax is proud because is he wagging his tail making a noise. are the ones where you save somebody's life. >> yes. a significant part of our job is criminal apprehension work where the dog is trained through area search or tracking to use his nose or and just deployment through patrol to apprehend someone. but we have had a lot of success as well in finding lost children or elderly subjects or even adult children that are in a state of mental crisis and wander off and that happens quite a bit and more often than you would think. in this part of the country in northern illinois we face a lot of temperature extremes and a lot of times if you don't find

those people in a timely fashion, it could be a deadly. steve: absolutely. ultimately you said he is working not for the treat but for the toy. where is the toy, officer? >> the toy is usually on me. on my person. that's our reward system. like i said. but right now the reason why he is really focused forward is it's on the deck here that's what he is staring at right now. steve: the cameraman is holding the toy so you are going to be able to release him here in a minute and he will have his pay off. officer john forlemza and dax, thank you very much. he is ready to go and you bet you are, too. >> we are good. steve: thank you, sir. >> a pleasure. steve: new season of fox nation hero dogs. do you know a dog that should be featured in our knicks season email hero dogs at fox news hero dog. joe biden full steam ahead with

steve: well, joe biden's transition team wasting no time getting to work trying to lay the groundwork for a new administration come january. ainsley: and making sure silicon valley is well represented, of course, with big tech execs from uber and amazon on the team. brian: right. here to react fox news contributor media opinion columnist for the hill joe concha. joe, he has some contacts with silicon valley why not tap into it. do you see a problem with it? >> not at all actually, brian. before president obama took office, many of the people in his administration worked in silicon valley. then president trump wins in 2016. now you have a biden administration likely coming up, as a result those people will be going back. think about it 1200 jobs need to be filled in any presidential administration obviously a biden administration. look, big tech really really wanted a biden administration. you look at $60 million in donations from alphabet, which obviously google is a

subsidiary. amazon, facebook and apple. so, and we saw the evidence throughout the campaign of that rooting, blocking that "new york post" story on hunter biden or fact-checking the president but never his opponents. locking out accounts of senior administration officials or prominent conservative voices so, look, we saw the ty tie roog for biden. very powerful combination, guys. steve: you know, joe there were many on both sides that said the big tech power needed to be reigned in and suggested they change section 230 because right now they have got immunity from liability because even though they act like publisher energies many cases they are not. something they started a long time ago to make sure it took off. i got news for you it took off and they're rich. >> big time. social media now in the 21st century was what television and radio and newspapers was in the

20th century. it's no longer just about people sharing pictures of their kids or posting their inner thoughts. these are where people get their news from. these social media companies. it's a good news, bad news scenario, steve. look, the bad news is taxes will go up for amazon and facebook and google. and obviously section 230 you talked about that that provides from a liability perspective protects the social media companies from the content that the users put up. but the good news is that they really did not like president trump's tariffs with china all that much. particularly apple was putter hurt by that most importantly h 1 b visas, the trump administration limited that to only people make $208,000 within a social media company. joe biden wants to relax that, wants to issue more green cards as a result social media companies can hire more farm workers less money. certainly good news-bad news. ainsley: michael moore read this letter on his podcast.

it was a letter he wrote to joe biden. listen to this. >> i see these people in the media and elsewhere trying to take credit for your victory and using their personal agendas to push you away from the progressive left and toward the cowardly center. they think because trump got 70 million votes that the democrats should now reject black lives matter, reject aoc and reject anything that vaguely sounds like ssssssssocialism. please, do not make the same mistake that an otherwise well-meaning and well-intentioned president obama made. charge in there on january 20th like fdr on steroids and go big. ainsley: joe, your reaction? >> michael moore toldly sold the whole sss -- from the fonz. he could never say he was sorry.

a little attribution there would be nice. over all, look, if i'm any of the georgia republican senate candidates, i'm taking that and making that in ad. americans like checks and balances either way. if you give a clean runway from the house to the senate to the oval office all those progressive ideas around abolishing the electoral college, filibuster, ice, expanding the supreme court, expanding the senate, banning fracking, as far as canceling student debt or defunding the police, all of that happens. so hey maybe you don't like me all that much but think about the consequence fuss don't have this fire wall between the house and the white house. i have a feeling if you gave joe biden sodium pentothal which i believe is truth serum deep down he would tell you i want a republican senate so i don't have to deal with that wing of the party and all those issues that will be a disaster in 2022. anyway guys i have got to go the masters and tiger woods is about to tee off. steve: 10 minutes. >> eggs and kegs. hopefully good weather down

i will double-check on that forecast and bring you the latest. here is the latest on eta 45 mile-per-hour sustained winds. it was a tropical storm when it made landfall. it's weakening and moving north and east it should be out of here by this afternoon. most of the moisture associated with it is moving eastward. that's because we have got this cold front that's sweeping across the east coast and that's also bringing some showers and thunderstorms across much of the east coast including perhaps the masters. so let's look at the forecast radar and then this is the track of ada and we go further out in time by this afternoon the worst of it should be offshore. we are still going to see the potential for rough surf and rip current. we are still going. tropical season doesn't end until november 30th, but we have several things out in the atlantic we have to still watch over the next few weeks. so, it ain't over until it's over and it is 2020. forecast prescription you can see where we have got that heavy rain. some of it moving in towards north carolina and the virginia

area. and then across the west we have got more rain and mountain snow moving in to the region. otherwise, you know, pretty good-looking forecast. and hopefully they have got some umbrellas at the masters. back to you, steve, ainsley and brian. steve: janice, we just looked it up and apparently there is a weather delay at the masters. the umbrellas are up and they're waiting to tee off at a point to be determined ains. janice: sounds good. steve: senator thom tillis holding ton his seat after beating democratic challenger. how did he win you when the polls said he would lose. and insider look at his strategy coming up next. but, first, here is sellsy ballerini performing hole in the bottle last night at the cmas ♪ it ain't even supper time ♪ there is a hole in my bottle of wine ♪ i seal my cork

brian. brian: cal cunningham conceding this week handing a victory to republican senator thom tillis. good election day polls had tillis trailing by more than two points he was trailing the whole time. tillis won by just under two points. another example of the polsters getting it flat out wrong. dallas woodhouse is the strategic director of institute and former executive director of the florida g.o.p. how did tillis once again surprise, dallas. >> i think a couple of things happened here, brian. i think many of the reporters covering this race got it worse than the polls when the scandal broke out about cal cunningham that moved from a sexting scandal to full blown affair with a military officer's spouse to a full blown hypocrisy scandal the reporters thought that this was going to be written about one time and the polls were supposed to change

immediately. that's not how these scandals work. they wrote off tillis way too early. he has a long history of coming back from behind. and the scandal war on cal cunningham tremendously because in the last month of the campaign, he literally could make no campaign appearances. he could not talk to the press where a senator tillis was everywhere. he was on this program many times. brian: yup. >> he was confirming a very well respected new justifiable on the supreme court. and in the end, come back thom did a comeback one more time. brian: yeah, coronavirus also hampered him at the same time the cal cunningham thing broke. he was hand picked by chuck schumer. another humiliating defeat for chuck schumer. >> yeah. it's interesting. if you go back to 2010, chuck schumer also picked cal cunningham and when cal cunningham was defeated in the primary the democrats walked away from trying to defeat the

republican senator at the time richard burr. so here's another time when chuck schumer's hand picked selection did the democrats no favors in north carolina. this is a real lesson. primaries have a purpose. you need to vet candidates. you need to find out the good and the bad about them. what they did with cal cunningham is they saw a candidate that had served one term in the state legislature 18 years ago. that is not a record that deserves to go to the u.s. senate. they saw pretty pictures of his family. they saw pictures of the military but it was all fake. and when you build an entire fake candidacy and it turns out to be a lie, it comes collapsing around you. you better put up a couple candidates and let them run and let the best man come out of the primary. brian: is the president going to win north carolina. >> the president has well won north carolina. unfortunately the courts had dragged this out until it's like

an 11th month pregnancy in a 75 hour labor. but the president has well won north carolina. and we should have it called by the weekend. brian: take your time. dallas woodhouse congratulations on the victory. i know you are the power player there in north carolina thom tillis. >> congratulations to thom. it's historic victory for thom. this will be the first time in my lifetime that north carolina is not going to be represented by at least one freshman senator. brian: have to wrap it up. thank you. coming up next hour kayleigh mcenany here live. katie pavlich and senator lindsey graham. pretty pictures and answer y separately to separate questions. es over-the-counter eye drops es typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me.

there will be a number of affidavits filed today. first is an individual who said they received a vote-by-mail, did not request one, went to the polls to cast her ballot, was told, sorry, you can't do that. you've already voted by mail. she didn't fill out the ballot that she received, she merely discarded it thinking it was a mistake. but nevertheless, her vote was cast. so there's those kinds of accusations. and separately from that is a big, systemic equal protection argument, and it's this: that in seven counties, democrat-leaning counties, if they received your ballot in advance, it's illegal to open those ballots until election day. but somehow they were determining which ballots were not accurate, which were not properly done and telling voters to fix them in advance. this is in seven democrat counties. but in 60 other counties, these voters were not given the same opportunity to fix their ballots. we have a number of affidavits from voters who were not told to

fix you are their ballots. so it was an unequal system. steve: all right, cawleigh, so, you know, it's hard for the average person to keep track of all the lawsuits and complaints and affidavits that you're filing. "the wall street journal" has an item today that says that the campaign is -- excuse me, seasonalleries -- the campaign is attempting to get court orders to delay the vote in certain critical states x. then republican-controlled state legislatures would then, because they would not be certified, would appoint pro-trump welcome to haves who would swing -- electors who would swing the electoral college in his favor. it's unclear how serious the campaign is considering that. how seriously are you considering that? >> constitutionally, that is an accurate argument. right now they're zeroed in completely on litigation.

and the fact that in many of these cities, be it detroit or philadelphia, there have been issues for a long time the of poll watchers being bull lued. i was sitting last night and reading through hundreds of pages out in philadelphia of people who volunteered their time, their legal right to show up at the polls to watch the vote count, republican challengers sitting there who were then bullied, who were called the c-word, racial slurs shouted at them, some of them escorted out of the room for asking a question. these are the forgotten men and whim -- men and women, and finally you have a president because he won states that no other republican has, who's standing up for these forgotten men and women in these new states are shining a light on old fraud and old problems with the system that needs to be rectified. up iowans so i know they're doing a recount in georgia. they want to make sure they have an accurate total because it's close. "the wall street journal"

editorial board says to everyone, basically, what you were saying right after the election. everyone stay calm, talk a moment. this is what they said, quote: there's no reason not to let the process play out. the odds seem small that the preliminary tallies will be changed, but but doing so is his prerogative. georgia's intent is to have the final results ready to certify on november 20th as originally scheduled. keep calm and count on. so they're saying the odds are small that president trump could win through these lawsuits. but the more than people need to know that their votes counted, that there wasn't anything nefarious, done behind the scenes. what do you say? >> yeah. "the wall street journal" is right to say we deserve to have an accurate count, and we deserve to ask questions when there are really serious affidavits out there making serious allegations. that's exactly right. and just to put this into context, the average national

election in 2016, there was about a 1% rejection rate of mail-in ballots. 1%. now, in several of these states, the numbers in georgia, for example, there's a .2% rejection rate. you would expect a higher rate in a lot of these races where there were a ton of new mail-in votes. there are real questions here. the i recount is a great next step in georgia as are these lawsuits. we just want answers, and the american people deserve to be able to ask questions. brian: it's been brought up by senator lankford, a republican, he said, listen, give joe biden a presidential daily brief. after all, senator harris, she's on the intel committee, she's getting, she has i high-level security or access. has the president considered that? >> i haven't spoken to the president about that. that would be a question more for the white house, but i will say that all laws are being followed with regard to expected transition though we expect to

continue on as the trump administration, and we will see how our litigation goes. steve: kayleigh, i see that there's going to be a stop the steal event this weekend in d.c. at freedom plaza at noon, also a million maga march where they're going to walk to the supreme court. i'm sure your side is encouraging that. do you have any indication how many people might actually show up? >> i think it's going to be quite large, from what i'm hearing. don't have an stunt for you, but -- estimate for you, but people want their voice heard. this president, look, he got more votes than any republican nominee for president, i should say, in the history of the country. he has 72 million people who love momentum, who want to show up and support him. there is no denying that this president is the head of our party for many decades to come, and the enthusiasm you see is something to behold at these

rallies, the crowd sizes, tens of thousands showing up. i anticipate quite a large event this saturday. ainsley: real quickly, is he planning to go to georgia to campaign in. >> he hasn't made any determinations thus far, but this morning he's been putting out tweets on behalf of senator perdue and kelly leffler, he knows how important it is, and no one's been more of a team player than president trump. many days you have employees leaving the white house and think president trump's wrapping up his day and, no, he's doing tele-rallies for candidates across the country. he will support these candidates as well. brian: it's the longest time since the president was president that we haven't seen or heard from him. is he planning on having another press conference, doing any interviews? >> i think you'll hear from the president at the right moment. he gave a press conference, of course, last thursday, but right now he's letting this litigation play out, letting his lawyers take the lead on this while he stays hard at work for the american people on covid and other matters.

you will be hearing from the president, hearing from him on twitter and at the right moment. steve: thank you very much for joining us on this thursday morning, filling us in on what's happening. >> thank you, guys. brian: jillian filling us is in on the news happening while we were talking. >> reporter: the u.s. topping 140,000 new covid-19 cases on wednesday, the highest number reported in one day. it comes as nearly every state sees a spike in infections. more than 65,000 people are now hospitalized, the highest number since the pandemic began. several companies, including pfizer, are working on a vaccine. one trial volunteer joined us earlier. >> it's a vaccine. we've been getting vaccines most of our lives. id had talked to my doctor. in the end it's still just a vaccine, and people shouldn't be scared of it. >> reporter: phase orer says its vaccine is 90% effective. to extreme weather now, tropical storm eta made landfall

police. here with reaction, butler county, ohio, sheriff richard jones. sheriff, good morning to you. >> good morning. steve: she also last thursday apparently called for $18 million worth of cuts to the police out there in portland. if somebody called your department, called 911 and made her complaint, what would happen to her? >> basically, we would have to respond. but when this is all over, we would look -- i would be getting ahold of the prosecutor, and i'd be seeing if she's violated any violation as far as tying up emergency services because somebody wouldn't roll their window up. with covid. that's what they're supposed to do, have their windows down. but it's even worse coming from somebody like her who has made the commitment that the 911 calls, cut those back, they're a waste of -- to send the police to these calls and defund the police and then go ahead and treat this driver with

disrespect. this driver's car. but that's why these people get elected to these positions or chosen for these positions, and they think they're better than the poor person that has to drive them and make a living. i'd be looking at the prosecutor like most police departments would, and for her to do that and have that stance, but then immediately go to 911 and tie that up. steve: i believe with these ride-share apps, you've got to do that. if you're the drivers, you're supposed to crack the window. >> hell, who wouldn't want to do that? i wear a mask most places i go, and we've had an increase here. everybody are washing their hands. being in a car with somebody you don't know? you're supposed to follow the rules. but people get in these positions, and and they think because they're high and powerful that these people in these positions they look down on, and you disrespect them and

their family by not letting them put the win e doe down. but it's bad enough, but for all people her or someone that wants to defund the police and cut the 911 calls, the silly calls that go out. and believe me, we get 'em. but this is right up there, equivalent of a 9-year-old or an 8-year-old kid calling or a 5-year-old calling 911 that my mommy won't let me have my cookies and milk. it's right up there along the same thing except she's an adult, and she knows better. steve: she responded to this question from the portland tribune about calling it, and she said this: i don't call 911 lightly, but i certainly am not going to do anything that would put my personal safety at risk. it's a lot harder when you are black or brown in america to make that decision. sheriff? >> hey, listen, it's a lot harder for anybody no matter what color you are, black,

brown, white, it doesn't matter. you make good decisions, and her decision to call 911, i believe, because he wouldn't roll the windows up and put the windows up and risk the driver's life who doesn't know her, she should have just told the driver lee the windows down and pay for the driver to get where she was going. she made the is situation worse and called 9111, and she has no apologies for it. and she won't. i've never met her, but by seeing the stance that she tax on -- she takes on 99 11 calls and then she blames it because of her color or her being a woman is ridiculous. steve: sheriff, we're going to leave it there. we thank you for joinings us today from ohio. >> thank you. steve: all right. still ahead on this thursday, filmmaker michael moore is urging joe biden to embrace the far left. how far left?

♪ ♪ brian: all right. documentarian michael moore is urging joe biden to embrace the far left in an open letter he decided to read out loud. >> please, do not make the seam mistake that an otherwise well-meaning and well-intentioned president obama made. he was willing to compromise on anything. the republicans had already decided that they were going to block everything obama proposed. charge in there on january 20th like fdr on steroids. brian: right. he ended up saying the word big. that means abolishing the electoral college, pushing universal health care, i imagine the green new deal. to react, fox news contributor katie pavlich. what about this push to get him to go big? should biden go big like fdr, pretend we're in a depression?

>> well, first of all, what michael moore said about president obama just isn't true. you'll remember that obamacare was pushed through in the middle of the night without a single republican vote. there was no compromise when it came to obamacare. and in terms of joe biden, look, he ran as a moderate wanting to compromise and bring the country together. in order for him to do that, he's going to have to push away far-left ideas like awe bollishing the electoral college and not compromising we republicans. would have leaders like congress woman alexandria ocasio-cortez saying she hopes the senate is, that democrats take the senate so that they don't have to compromise. so if joe biden's going to live up to his campaign promises, he should reject what michael moore's asking him to do. steve steve listen to what hakim jeffries says, might be the next speaker one day. he says this: do we want to win or do we want to be governed? or do we want to be internet celebrities?

the i think it's a useful conversation because the socialist message wasn't helpful. no kidding. but i didn't think he realized that. >> katie, i'm so sorry, i cannot hear you. unfortunately, i didn't hear the question. brian: all right. we have a lack of communication. normally we have great synergy, but when we can't hear each other, it tends to eat away at the edges. in her column she actually wrote that she believed this whole thing about democrats coming together is a joke because they're not coming together. and actually wanted republicans to work with them. that's not true. calling for unity, that's what joe biden's doing, but if you look at aoc, some of the liberals on "the view," some of the people on television, they actually want a pound of flesh from anyone who supported president trump. so between that, the fracture on

the left and the phony outstretched hands, you wonder, katie, if you can hear me now -- >> i can hear you, brian. brian: -- joe biden with one america and let's put it all behind us, just to paraphrase what john me e channel surprisely wrote for him, you're not buying it. why? >> well, look, if you look at the way that the left has behaved over the last four years not just against president trump, but against trump supporters, you have these new exit polling and voter analysis showing that there was a shy trump voter because they felt like they would be bullied into submission if, that they were worried about cancel culture for simply believing in different political ideology, maybe their neighbors or the parents that they take their kids to soccer with. so this idea now that joe biden wants to just bring everyone together sounds more like let's move on, conservatives should just forgive the last four years despite being hounded at

restaurants. you have now a number of people on the far left including former obama spokespeople, by the way, and pete buttigieg staffers making lists of people so they can be punished for daring to work for the trump administration, trying to keep them unemployed. first of all, that's anti-american behavior, but it's not the behavior you should be engaging in you're truly serious about moving forward. people would say that's the far left, that's not joe biden, but i haven't heard joe biden come out and say it's inappropriate to put people on lists just because they work for a different party. the targeting continues of people who simply worked for an administration that they disagree with politically. brian: they were burning down cities before he was forced to react and say i think we should stop the protests when they turn into riots. he was forced to go out of his way to compliment police officers when everybody else in his party was saying they were the bad guys and ladies.

meanwhile, democrats were speaking out saying we're going to get joe biden elected, and then we're going to have him do what we want him to do. remember this. >> we can likely push vice president biden in a more productive direction. >> i will be pushing him. i will, you know, as soon as we get him in the white house -- >> our job is the day after biden is elected is to mobilize our people in the fight for the progressive agenda. >> united against trump.org, i did not know that was on the air. this is what they're doing, they're saying it out loud. now he's got the job, greatest moment of peace is probably this moment. >> well, you know, joe biden has these big aspirations about the country, but you have to unite the democratic party first. there are huge differences. you have this memo that came out this week, you know, saying that democrats have to go further left in order to push back against republicans, and yet you have joe biden saying that he wants to unify the country. the fact is that this was the

fear that a number of people had which is why they elected more republicans to the house giving nancy pelosi the slimmest majority since fdr. and so that's why, you know, they want to push biden to the left. however, the american people have voted for more balance when it comes to pushing back on a very far-left progressive agenda. brian: katie, you just watch, if he does not budge from this moderate stance, suddenly that hunter story's going to get a lot of traction in social media environments, and that'll be the pressure that gets him to move. you just watch. >> and they'll 3w4r5eu789 on republicans, but it will be coming from the left. you've got it. brian: absolutely. katie pavlich, thank you so much. meanwhile, senator chuck schumer has his eyes on a big prize. >> we take georgia and then we change america. brian: right. lindsay graham had his vcr rolling. he wants to talk about that.

money about to sink georgia. the democrats outspent us in 2020 probably 3461. my opponent -- 3-1. my opponent if raised $145 million through the act blue giving app where liberals all over america can send small donations in to democratic candidates. i raised $108 million thanks to your audience. i'm going to do two things, give them a million bucks to help them from my campaign and challenge every republican who has a web site in the senate and the house, direct every donation to georgia. so if you come on to lindsaygraham some, you will find out how to give to perdue and loafler. if we don't come back -- combat act blue, we're in trouble. act blue raised $1.5 billion in the last three months. we've got to get better. i've got 2 million donors, i'm going to ask my donors to help georgia, and i would encourage

every other republican just don't go to georgia, give to georgia. steve: ainsley? ainsley: what -- thank you. what exactly does it mean to the american family that's watching right now? how important is that election in georgia? [laughter] >> it means everything about the structure of your nation. if you took ninth grade civic es years ago like i did, it means that they would change the course. there would be 13 people on the supreme court because they need to expand it to make it liberal. the electoral college would be changed so that new york and california pick the president. south carolina and georgia won't matter anymore because it'd be a popular vote election. i can see georgia from my front porch. i drink the same water as my friends in georgia. president trump is tweeting to help georgia. america's on the ballot in georgia. what we're trying to do is stop the most radical agenda in the history of american politics from the being enacted, and

georgia stands in the way of socialism to america. so to my friends in georgia, we've never needed you more. what you do on january 5th will determine what america looks like. if you keep senate in republican hands, i will be the budget chairman. if we lose the senate because georgia got it wrong, bernie sanders will be chairman of the budget committee. that's about as big a difference as you can think of. brian: absolutely. meanwhile, your friend, the president of the united states, is battling to get four more years. in the meantime, he has blown up the higher-ups including the secretary of defense at the pentagon. there's some strong reports that the president's going to start pulling everybody out everywhere from germany to afghanistan, to south korea. is that a concern of yours? >> well, i don't believe it. i think he's been a good commander in chief. we killed the number two in al-qaeda about two weeks ago in afghanistan. to trust the taliban to police al-qaeda and isis would be insane. our presence in south korea is a

buffer against china and keeps north korea e in check. having a troop reduction in afghanistan makes sense, pulling out makes no sense. radical islam is very present in afghanistan, and our troops over there are an insurance policy against another 9/11. i don't believe this. i think the president's been too good of a commander in chief to do something like that at the end. so i'll believe it when i see it, is and i'm confident he will keep america safe. and the election's not over, by the way. somebody needs to be talking about nevada. these lawsuits in nevada are very promising. in nevada they have a machine to verify mail-in ballot signatures. if you don't have a signature on a mail-in ballot, then it's useless. the ma was basically -- machine was basically turned off. they ran millions of ballots, and the signature component of it was already literally turned off, so they accepted every signature whether it was fraudulent or not.

they may win that lawsuit. steve: senator, when you look at the various states, for the most part, tens of thousands of votes separate donald trump from joe biden. and west we've heard from the experts, it's got to be some sort of systemic fraud, some gigantic thing. when you look at what has happened so far, what we know of, i mean, we haven't seen all the lawsuits perhaps that they will file, but what we've heard of so far, do you think any of those things has a chance of overturning any of the states? >> yes, i do. so let me just, again, tell me what i just said about nevada. if you vote by mail and you don't have a signature, do y'all agree that that's a sham? if i just send a ballot marked with biden and no signature, you could vote a thousand times. so requiring the signature on mail-in voting is essential to make it lawful, right? well, how do you verify the signature? you have two ways to do it, human beings look at the signature or the computer looks

at the signature. what i'm telling you, they set up a computer in nevada so low that it would accept any signature. signature verification in nevada was meaningless because they set the computer up on a setting where it would approve anything. they need to rerun -- steve: who? who put the machine on that? >> the clark county voting machine signature ballot verification component of the computer was basically turned off. i am convinced if you ran these signatures through with the machine set at the proper setting, thousands of ballots would be have found to be kicked out. you remember the story about people filling out ballots on the hood of a car? we have a witness seeing that, that they filled out ballots on a biden/harris truck. those are fraudulent signatures. if you don't have a system to check out the signatures, mail-in ballots become just, just ballot stuffing. so what are they doing in georgia?

are you looking at the signature? it's not enough to recount the vote. i want to make sure that the signature on a mail-in ballot is actually real. does it match the database. and i can tell you in nevada they had the machine cut off. it might as well is have not had a machine. and that's what's at stake in nevada, and quite frankly, there are places where that may have happened. ainsley: gosh. it might not change the outcome of the election, but at least it would help preserve integrity, which we're all seeking. thank you so much, senator, for being with us. >> thank you. help georgia. thank you. ainsley: okay. let's kick it over to janice. she has a look at the forecast. hey, j.d. >> good morning. yeah, we're focused on where eta made its path across florida, made landfall this morning. a lot of flooding, unfortunately, in the tampa area from this system. we had several feet of storm surge even though it was a tropical storm once it made landfall, very vulnerable area
