i'm jon scott thanks for watching see you back here tomorrow night. ♪ ♪ ♪ it's a long way down. pete: welcome to fox and friends. this is sunday, november 22nd. we are glad that you're here. you learn something about your cohosts every morning, often times 20 seconds before the show. we have this neat little rundown, and i stapled -- jed, you'll appreciate this -- i stapled jed's packet for him because i thought he likes it it stapled. turns out, he was ripping that out 10 seconds before we got going. jedediah: i feel like the

country could be divided on that as with. there's people who like the packet stapled, and there's the ones who have to rip it apart and scatter the pages around. what can i say? will: pete hegseth was attempting to be very thoughtful and stapling my packet for me -- pete: because the producer said one of the two of you likes it stapled, and it wasn't me -- i was wrong. [laughter] glared at me. will: i'll do better. jedediah: i don't like the staples either. [laughter] will: the great question of our time. we move ahead. long lines across the country as we ready for thanksgiving from airports to food banks. amid fears of more lockdowns and cases of coronavirus spiking. millions of americans carrying on with their travel plans. listen to this on why some travelers think it's so important to travel for thanksgiving. >> i think that traveling during

this time is definitely difficult. i'm a college student, so i don't really have much of a choice. >> family is, like, the most important thing, period. not to be around the family on a special occasion day and part of the year? if it's going to be rough for a lot of people. >> there's not a lot of cases where i'm from anyway. it feels, honestly, cleaner here than it does at, like, a store or anything like that. >> it's the safest place right now. i mean, they're very strict on the covid procedures, and it's a good time to get away. >> it's been one and a half years since i haven't seen her and her family, and we're taking precautions. >> they sanitize everything. we have the masks, we have the spray, we have everything, so we're fine. we're not taking the masks off. you've got to live your life at the end of the day, that's all there is. can't just, you know, can't just let it take over. will: i remember when lockdowns began across this country, and i remember saying it's time

that -- at the time that this will make americans reach their breaking point. they will get to a point where they're no longer simply obeying the rules that are mandated down upon them. and what you're watching here is, i think, two great, important concepts in our society that will push americans to the breaking point, and that is tradition and family. these are traditions that people uphold, and they will spend their time with their family. it's that important. pete: yeah, i love that line at the end there. at the end of the day, you've got to live your life. those are food banks too, by the way, a reminder that there is a lot of need as our economy has been shut down, people's livelihoods have been crushed, and they are in need. so getting together with family to share that moment becomes all that more important. mandates crush your soul, they crush your spirit, they brung you down, and something as is simple as air flight becomes a complicated endeavor.

but to see millions of people going to the airport is the hardest thing. i've spent a lot of time at the airport over the last nine months, i've flown a ton. i personally like the short security lines because there's nobody there. but to see all of these people back is heartening and, you know, the health experts can say what they want, but these are people being responsible, making a choice to go see their family which i think is heartening, jed. jedediah: you know, i think the airports recently have been, you know, incd by safe. obviously of course things will -- obviously, things will shift because more people listen traveling now, but i think the challenge when it comes to the cdc and the medical community is less about the airports and more about the idea of what holidays are which is typically multigenerationallal families gathering in one space. and i guess the fear is that there are a lot of asymptomatic people, a lot of mildly symptomatic people, but then you

take that opportunity on a thanksgiving, for example, to socialize with the elderly who may have co-morbidities, who may be in an age bracket who may suffer from this disease in a way that younger generations may not. there's a lot of conversations around college kids, and i asked a few doctors, and interestingly enough they said, unanimously, i would have them take a covid test and then quarantine for a week. i understand the sentiment, i really do. i mean, people are exhausted from this lockdown. and, obviously, everyone's going to be in a different circumstance, right? there's going to be people who will be traveling who will not be in contact with the you wouldingerly, people who are traveling among people who have antibodies, or there's a lot of different situations emerging here. but those are just some of the concerns. ultimately, people will have to make their own decisions, but it's always wise to think about your own particular situation, the people who will be in your household and what you can do to kind of prevent something bad from happening. will: and those concerns are real. but if you're a public policymaker, you have to

encounter the fact that america's an independent country that values it families, and people will do what they will do. after california's covid curfew went into effect last night, saturday night, curfew breakers popped up. these were rallies to protest the newest lockdown measures. ric grenell talked about some of the inspiration for these people protesting against these 10 p.m. curfews. listen. >> gavin newsom, he's the biggest phony ever. i think all you have to do replay his statement on why he went to the french laundry restaurant, the very expensive restaurant, and he lied and said-outdoors we don't have a media that holds this many to account because california is a one-party state.

pete: i may have missed something there, but i didn't see any violence at those rallies. those were people saying, hey, the virus doesn't go away, it didn't gone at 9:59 and suddenly appear at 10:01. we are free people who have the prerogative to make our own choices. when they've looked at black lives matter and antifa riots and rallies over the last six or seven months justify ld as the media as an exception, a carveout to covid-19, they say we can peaceably -- remember, that's what it talks about in the constitution, in the bill of rights, peaceable assembly -- we have the right to talk about the fact that our governor is a hypocrite, these rules are draconian, our lives have been forever changed, and we think it's still safe at 10:01. jed, i know you've been consistent in pointing out that, in your mind, gatherings like this on either side are troubling. but at the same time, these are

free people effectively saying you've altered my life in ways that are untenabling. idea idea yeah. and i think you're right to bring that up. that is a sentiment many people feel, a sense of rebell onagainst measures they believe are infringing upon their personal freedoms that needs to be acknowledged at this point especially because these lockdowns were promised initially to be temporary, and they seem to be going on and on with no end in sight. also important to note, i think, is that these businesses largely that suffer as a result of the curfews and what not, we've seen that in new york city, we're seeing it in other cities, have largely been very, very responsible in their protocol. so so some people will look at rallies gathering outside and say, well, i don't know. when it comes to covid-19, would i prefer rallies or prefer that these businesses that have behaving responsibly continue to do so? remember, these businesses don't want people to say i don't want to go there, they're not taking this seriously.

no. they're going out of their way to make people feel comfortable because that helps them to get new business. i've seen a lot of really impressive behavior in terms of making people comfortable, and that's just a thought people should consider. and the measures are tough, tough to handle month after month after month. that's just a human reaction in terms of rebellion at this point, will. and i do empathize with that position as well. will: we might be seeing americans reaching their breaking point when it comes to -- pete: it was 15 days to slow the spread, it's about to be 15 months. will: exactly right. the other big story is, obviously, the legal challenges to the election in november. we'll be talking about it throughout the morning including in this hour talking to jonathan turley about the status of the president's legal challenges to the vote. but as that challenge progresses, so too does people potentially being put into place measures to potentially place the joe biden administration into context and how various elected officials would deal with it. let me give you an example.

texas representative-elect august ---in dan crenshaw's campaign ad? he he has said a joe biden administration would be extremely alarming when it comes to oil. why? well, let's take a quick look back at what joe biden has said about the oil industry and oil in particular. >> i would transition from the oil industry, yes. >> oh, that's a big statement. >> that is a big statement because you would stop -- >> why would you do that? >> because the oil industry pollutes significantly. >> i see. >> here's the deal -- [inaudible conversations] >> well, if you let me finish the statement, because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time, over time. and i'd stop giving to the oil industry, i'd stop giving them federal subsidies. >> that's the biggest statement because, basically, what he's saying is this is going to destroy the oil industry. will you remember that, texas?

if will you remember that, pennsylvania? if -- oklahoma? will: here's what texas' representative-elect says: we're going to do everything we can to continue to fight energy independence. it's job number one for me that we fight against anything that we see from a biden administration or executive order, pete. pete: we can't ignore the significance of what the trump administration achieved in effectively looning our dependence on oil awed broad by -- on oil abroad. not being entanglinged to the middle east and being reliant on oil sheikhs. we want to do it here. so it can be easy to take that for granted and be comfortable with it and not realize leftists in the democrat party would like to erase it. just the practicality of jobs and livelihoods and energy independence which we've all said we wanted, now we suddenly have. jed, are we willing to give it

away? jedediah: yeah, and joe biden talked about not wanting to subsidize the oil industry. i think a lot of people could get onboard with that, but will he then want to subsidize clean energy? that's a problem as well. and he also should consider things like jobs, hike costs. -- like costs. the idea of clean energy on its own, i think, is fine. the question is how do you achieve it, and do you force that? the market has to be ready for that. you have to be able to transition those jobs. you can't force things like this where it winds up ending in disaster. we saw solyndra, other issues in the past that have merged. i think it remains to be seen what he will do in terms of policy, but certainly some statements give people pause particularly when it comes to their own energy bills and what that might look like under a biden administration. will: all right. more headlines for you this morning. two people are dead and two others are hurt after a shooting at a nebraska sonic drive-in.

police say the chaos started after a u-haul truck with fireworks exploded outside the restaurant. the blast was followed by gunshots. a bomb squad searched the area and did not find any other explosives. the suspect is in custody. the motive remains unclear. and the fda approving emergency use of covid-19 treatment regeneron. the antibody therapy was given to president trump when he contracted the virus, an antibody cocktail that mimics an immune response to the infection. it's used in high-risk patients. regeneron says it expects to have doses ready for 80,000 patients by the end of the month. spacex successfully launches a satellite into orbit. watch this. >> 3, 2, 1, 0. and liftoff of sentinel 6.

about that. it's like we said earlier, a lot of these businesses are really following strict protocol. and it's a little frustrating. it's kind of like being told we can't be trusted to operate our businesses. and as far as how it went, it was great. i will say this, i want to thank everybody who supports local business. it's been a very humbling experience seeing the overwhelming support from our community in these unprecedented times. finish. jedediah: and it looks like you have a great lounge there. one thing i did notice is you have some outdoor seating which, i'm sure, has been extreatmently helpful in warmer weather. as we enter the colder weather, not as much. now, we're looking forward in terms of these lockdown orderses. obviously, very 'em in thetic to restaurant and bar owners around the country. what will be allowed and what won't be allowed in terms of enabling your business to potentially survive through

business for 50 years. it's because we pivot, we change as the times call for it. when the minneapolis health d. came out with those health guidelines, we followed them strictly to stay open, to do good business while keeping people safe and comfortable. jedediah: well, breath, i know a lot of eyes are on potential stimulus, we give you a lot of credit for what you've been able to accomplish under pretty difficult measures. thank you for being here and for sharing your business with us. it looks like a great place to hang out. >> thank you again, i appreciate it. jedediah: of course. thanks so much. he has logged over 1800 hours of flight time as an air force fighter pilot, now lieutenant colonel dan rooney is sharing his life lessons for how everyone can achieve greatness when the sky's the limit.

pennsylvania. in his decision, the judge slammed the campaign for failing to provide, quote, factual proof of rampant if corruption. will: the campaign says it's now seeking expedited appeal of that ruling against tossing mail-in ballots out. pete: lawyers for the trump campaign say this will-them in their strategy to get the case to the supreme court. here to break this all down for us this morning is jonathan turley, fox news contributor and gwu law professor. professor, thank you so much for being here this morning. break it down for us. we've seen a ton of lawsuits, a ton of challenges. there will be a appeals even to this most recent ruling that the trump campaign hopes to bring to the supreme court. where are we right now? >> well, what the court said in pennsylvania is that the trump campaign actually did -- or at least these individual voters, i should say -- establish that their votes might have been negatedded by so-called curing rules. so what these lawyers were saying was that some voters in

some districts were allowed to cure or correct their ballots, but they were not, and this were prevented from voting. the court basically accepts that and says that was properly pleaded but really balkings at the relief and says, you know, you're asking me to level down instead of level up. and what he meant was instead of asking me to count your votes, you're asking me to effectively not count the other people's votes; that is, by not certifying the entire state. and he says i'm just not going to do that. he does slam the trump campaign and says they do not have standing to bring the cause as opposed to these individual voters that are distinct standing claims. so i think what the trump campaign is saying is that this is good news. that's a bit of sort of making lemonade out of lemons, but it does allow them to proceed further. it allows them to go to the third circuit, eventually to the supreme court. jedediah: jonathan, you have a

new op-ed e out, trump's death star strategy forcing a fight over states' electors, and that's been a conversation about legislatures intervening in some of these battleground states. i have an obvious concern about that which is that if that sets a precedent, for example, that then any politician without evidence, you know, of a vast conspiracy which at this point is not being alleged in court, well alone being proven, could eventually overturn the will of the people in that state. is that a valid concern to have, and could this potentially happen? >> it is a valid concern, you know? the trump campaign still needs to put forward this evidence that they say is forthcoming because they said in the last press conference that that was an opening statement. with really need to move to the closing statement. we need to see the evidence. they need to put it into the record. they have raised voting irregularities. but what all of us have been

saying is show us something more system you can e, something that is going to change significant votes. finish and they said that evidence will be forthcoming. now, the reason i call it the death star strategy is to try to show how difficult this is, of hitting the sort of exhaust vent and creating a chain reaction. what they would have to do is create substantive problems or raise substantive concerns in these states to lead republican legislatures to either prevent the submission of electoral votes or even submit dueling or conflicting sets of electors. that would create a fight on the floor of congress. and we have had those fights in the hayes/tilden election in the 1860s. they are something that i've said for weeks i hope we can avoid. one of the reasons i've been really criticizing those trying to stop these challenges and harass these lawyers to drop

these cases for the trump campaign is that we need to resolve these. i don't -- the worst scenario is if we have a fight on the floor of congress. this country's already a powder keg. it is much better for us to resolve these in court which is why i don't understand the minute this election was called for biden, you had this campaign targeting lawyers to try to force them off the cases, targeting their clients to put pressure on them. it really is something that is grossly inappropriate. will: i do believe it's the most likely conversation we'll be having going forward. you talked about the political case, state legislatures to change their electors to pro-trump electors. you just gave us the historical factor, but just to follow up on jed's question, how likely is that political solution at state

legislature levels to succeed for president trump? >> the column is it's not likely at all, and those michigan legislators that met with president trump came out and told the press we don't see any reason why our state would flip the result or question the result of the election. so we haven't seen the type of movement in statements that are controlled by -- in states that are controlled but republican legislatures. so i'm afraid that this shot is going to make, you know, luke skywalker's shot look like bean bag. it's going to have to really come together in the next few days. pete: professor, what the trump campaign would argue is it's not asking are thetures to over-- legislatures to overturn the will of the peopleing it's what happens if legislatures decide they cannot say with confidence who won the greater number of votes. they're looking at irregularities and saying we don't feel confident in the

certified outcome, therefore, we would take an alternative route. is that plausible? >> it is. that's why time is of the essence. the campaign needs to produce the evidence that they've said is forthcoming. this is when you have to do it. and in the meantime, i really object to the michigan attorney general and others who are suggesting that willing to legislators could be criminally investigated for asking these questions or even meeting with president trump. i mean, that is absolutely outrageous. you're saying that if these legislators investigate these issues or his objections -- or raise objections, you could criminally investigate them and charge them. the media has been entirely silent on that. just as with the harassment of lawyers. that goes to the integrity of our legal system, our legislative process. and no one should stay silent in the face of those types of destructive calls for criminal investigations. pete: great point. jedediah: well, or jonathan, the next two weeks will be integral

as things unfold. thank you so much for joining us with your insight. pete: thank you, professor. >> thank you. jedediah: we're going to head over to rick reichmuth for some weather. rick, please tell me it's looking good for today. rick e rick it's actually looking good for almost everybody. we've got a really -- for what can happen on a thanksgiving week, we have a really, i would say, muled week. that doesn't mean there's not a couple problems. overall, things looking good. you get the idea, a little cool up across parts of the north but not horrible for this time of year. 64 in houston as you're waking up this morning, 67 in tampa. east coast, we're looking great. we have one storm, the same storm i talked about yesterday, and it's stuck across parts of the midwest throughout much of the day. overnight begins to sag a little bit, vernal lu throughout the day kind of slowly pull off towards the east. you'll see the far northern side of this cold enough to get snow across parts of the great lakes. a few scattered showers, maybe

the president, i believe, will win a nobel peace prize for what he has accomplished in the middle east. making peace with three different nations. and it's a real peace. it's a warm peace with the exchange of ambassadors, with, you know, business, tourism, all the things that are meaningful in terms of a real peace. so the president has done one of the most remarkable things and deserves amazing credit. but, you know, look, omar is a person who's indulged in aunt systemtism. -- anti-semitism. she supports anti-semitic the bds, you know? she is a dangers, dangerous person who represents the extreme left, radical part of the democratic party. that's not what america is, that's not what america wants. and i'm not only talking about republicans, i'm talking about democrats as well. she represents only herself and the squad and a few other

you're right. we just had a segment with kurt the cyber guy, he had christmas gifts. he's getting ahead of himself. i'll get us back on track by saying today, november 22nd, the is national cranberry relish day. the only thing is national cranberry relish day. that feels like thanksgiving. will: at least for pete and i, jedediah still has some work to do on this issue, thanksgiving is a top go holiday along with, of course, the fourth of july. we move on because there's a lot to get to especially in this hour. first this, thousands of trump supporters turn out for a stop the steal rally happening across the cub. these rallies come as the president questions why joe biden is forming his cabinet despite his campaign's ongoing legal challenges. david spunt is live in washington with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. this morning president trump continues his refusal just to give up and accept that joe biden is the president-elect.

president trump and his team hoping that there will be some sort of last ditch effort that will possibly change those results. those states have already started certifying, it doesn't look like that will happen. i want to put up the final electoral map that fox news is putting out, 306 electoral votes for president-elect biden and president trump with 232 electoral votes. it happens to be the same number as 2016, though then trump took 306 and secretary clinton took 232. biden currently ahead by 6 million in the popular vote right now. now, president trump tweeting several times over the weekend that president-elect biden is putting forward a cabinet before the states are certified. the president also throwing out the idea that possibly state legislatures across the country may pull through for him, though that is not expected to happen. we'll see what happens with that in the next probably week and a half, two weeks. now, while we don't know who will be in the president-elect's cabinet yet come january, we do know that he's heavily staffing the west wing.

this includes his chief of staff, ron klain are, and former campaign manager and she's now going to be the deputy chief of staff, jen o'malley dillon. meanwhile, the president's supporters for the second week in a row showed up in big numbers in california, wisconsin, georgia and other states, and people from both sides of the spectrum came out. listen. >> i've been noticing a lot of irregular things happening with the vote counts, right in in the numbers just don't seem to add up. something doesn't feel right. >> that doesn't represent us. we're representing black lives matter, and we're going to affirm that we're not going to let people intimidate us in our city. >> reporter: yesterday the trump campaign announced they would request a recount in georgia. that will happen though, it'll be a computer recount. this comes after there was a hand recanvass of all the votes showing biden still revailed in georgia.

also -- prevailed in georgia. the trump campaign has a right to request a recount because it's within that .5% margin. guys? will: thank you, david. jedediah: thanks so much, david. david spunt live in washington for us. and we appreciate it. so we've been talking a lot this morning about the role of the electoral college, potentially that's going to be a bigger conversation in the next couple of weeks as we talk about state legislatures and the power they may have in terms of electors. we spoke with jonathan turley on that and a whole lot m on trump's death star strategy as he refers to it. take a listen to what he has to say about that and more. >> the reason i call it the death star strategy is to try to show how difficult this is, of hitting the sort of exhaust and creating a chain reaction. what they would have to do is create substantive problems or raise substantive concerns in these states to lead republican legislatures to either prevent the submission of electoral

votes or even submit dueling or conflicting sets of electors. that would create a fight on the floor of congress. those michigan legislators that met with president trump came out and told the president we don't see any reason why our state would flip the results or question the results of the election. so we haven't seen the type of movement in states that are controlled by republican legislatures. so i'm afraid that this shot is going to make, you know, luke sky walker's shot look like bean bag. it's going to have to really come together in the next few days. jedediah: you know, guys, the problem that i'm seeing with this strategy is that in order for something like that to be successful, you would need not only the support of the state legislatures, but you'd also really need the support of the governor in order for people to sign on to this. they have to see evidence of malpractice. there has to be justification

for it. otherwise it will be viewed as circumventing the will of the people when these margins in these states are so high. telephone of thousands of votes differentiating between biden and trump at this point. so barring that evidence, i think it becomes increasingly problematic. now, if evidence were to up fold that showed and reflected what the trump administration is alleging in press conferences -- not in court, because that's different stuff often time, but if that were to manifest, i think until change the dynamic. but as of now, i just don't see that happening. >> it does come down to state legislatures and whether or not they believe with confidence who won the number of votes. so what the trump campaign is doing is going state by state, challenge by challenge. we're seeing this ongoing about signatures, about unequal treatment, about allowing poll watchers to actually watch or not watch the mail-in ballots and whether those are treated the same way as people voting in person. those are ongoing challenges that the trump administration is

doing. at the same time, will, you've got the overarching strategy, we heard rudy giuliani and others say was there electronic tinkering, or more than that, fraud. and i think you can't deny, we were talking about it in the break, the rasmussen poll that showed that 50% of americans don't feel like this election was aboveboard. there's a bill sentiment of people that feel like something was stolen from them and9 that the trump campaign is doing the due diligence that's requiring. you can't immediately produce evidence in two weeks, three weeks, it's going to take time. will: it began to clarify all the different avenues being pursued by the trump campaign. if i might, quickly, i think there are three different avenues to the best of my understanding, one are the legal challenges such as those you just mentioned went it comes to the distance monitors had when they were watching the ballots being counted or signature verify cautions. those -- verifications. those challenges are suffering a loss, including yesterday in pennsylvania.

a secondary challenge was alluded to last week in the press conference by sidney powell and rudy giuliani, a wider, systemic corruption going on -- pete: they said it in their opening statement. will: they said it was coming. and then there's the third which i think president trump said last night might actually, in a tweet, be the most obvious and biggest one, and that is a political challenge. and that is when they attempt to go to state legislators and have the vote declared fraudulent, essentially, by politicians. and politicians like the michigan state legislators will be asking for evidence in order to make that decision. that, jedediah, as you said, will be coming in the ensuing days and weeks before us. but i believe those are the three tracks going forward that jonathan turley laid are out what he thinks is the likelihood of that third track. but we have to move on this morning because bernie sanders is moving on to what is a very radical potential plan for america. here's what he tweeted recently. this is what he would like to

see a new government, every working class american, $2,000 a month. every unemployed american, $600 a week. every american needs health care as a human right. no one in america should go hungry or homeless, and the do-nothing senate must act. to me, pete and jedediah, what this underscores is the other biggest fight in america right now which is the georgia senate race because potentially that is the only thing outside of president trump's legal challenges stopping that kind of agenda. jedediah: yeah. you know, this is the thing i love about bernie sanders is he just says this stuff as if money grouse on tree -- grows on trees. someone has to pay for that stuff. i'm sure he would say, well, we'll raise taxes, this and that, but the idea that government is supposed to provide these things is deeply problematic. and i think it represents the great divide that you see in the country right now. it's the role of government, the

proper role of government, government, you know, overreaching in many regards. and i would like to go to the wonderful wizard of oz and get, you know, an island off the coast of tata hity, but i'm not going to get that, and the government's not going to give it to me. so bernie sanders sometimes just needs someone to interject a dose of reality and remind him that government cannot and should not be all-giving and all knowing. pete: yeah. he's a socialist. he wants to give away money that is not his collected from others. that's exactly what that tweet says. we would all love no one to be hungry or homeless, of course. tell that to soviet union who could not feed their people. all americans want is the ability to be open, to produce and provide for their families, themselves based on hard work and merit. we had one of those guys on the program everything. brent montwe fit, and he talked about a four week lockdown on

all restaurants in minnesota, no indoor dining at all, shut down. here's what he said. >> a lot of these businesses are following strict protocol, and it's a little frustrating. it's kind of like being told we can't be trusted to safely operate our businesses. it's the reason we've been in business for 50 years, because we pith if, we change as times call for it. when the min minneapolis health department came out with those guidelines, we followed them strictly to stay open and do good business. it's so disappointing that there is no near-term plan from the government, and we're walking into this as a major unknown which is very scary for, you know, a small family-owned business like us. will: you both pointed out that bernie sanders' list is a juvenile wish list for ever on the planet that everyone wishes could come true, but pete, as you point out, capitalism -- while imperfect, and we need to figure out how to help the

losers -- has been the single greatest mechanism for lifts people owl of the poverty on the face of the planet. pete: undeniable. all right, headlines now. an arkansas police officer is laid to rest are, family, friends and fellow brothers and sisters in blue mourning the loss of officer travis wallace killed earlier this month while following a tip about a shooting suspect. he was a five-year department veteran, he leaves behind a young son. god bless him. and this just in, the trump administration will pull out of a 28-year-old arms control deal with russia. the open skies treaty allows the two countries to run armed recon flights over each other's territory. the u.s. has accused russia of violating the tremendousty, blocking flights over areas suspected of having nuclear weapons. the president first announced plans to scrap the treaty in may. and to college football,

police department chief andy kudric. thank you for being here, good morning to you. >> good morning. jedediah: so that statement could be deemed as controversial to some. why would you be choosing not to enforce certain restrictions being imposed by the governor for covid-19? >> so when i issued that memo, it wasn't a call to defy the governor's orderses whereas the power to use my broad discretion in order to enforce some of these executive orders. is so our community's hurting. i live here, i grew up here, i shop here, i go out to dinner here, and i talk one-on-one with our business owners. i see our community every day, and i hear from them every day. i'm out there in the community driving around, and i see how much they're hurting. so as a police chief in charge of 100 plus police officers, i felt it was just incumbent upon me just to led them know and my community know that we're not going to basically enforce some of these executive orders which

things poll very well with americans, then michael me -- who i thought was in touch with people at least on the ground in michigan -- is completely out of touch. he's right about one thing, everything comes town to georgia. it's the filibuster, it's the obnoxious yellow phone that stands in between the radical wing of the party in the house and joe biden's desk. none of that legislation i just mentioned ever gets to joe biden, and i think, personally, he'll be relieved if that happens. will: hey, joe, i want to return to something, pete, you said liberals talking to liberals, i think it's progressives talking to progressives. and you're like, yeah, of course, lille. i think -- will. i think people still think pop culture's somehow mainstream or maybe center-left. what you're seeing there is them openly admitting in pop culture, so, in other words, seth meyers is the story here, are representing, in fact, the far left. i know we know that, but what i'm shocked by is the willing admission of it.

it's not moderate left, center-left, it's not mainstream, it's far left from pop culture. >> yeah. i think seth meyers, a lot of it's performance art. he probably does have those feelings to a certain extent, but now highway he realizes, okay, i'm on at 12:30 at night on nbc, probably young people that are watching at this point, and if you look at any sort of polling, the younger you get, the more people you'll find in that particular instance. but you're right, it's all out in the open now. we talk about michael flynn being unmasked, no, the whole media's been unmasked over the last four years as far as how they lean and who they're trying to provide comfort food for. jedediah: joe biden had an interesting interaction with a reporter this week. the topic e was school closingses. let's take a look, and then we'll get your reaction. >> mr. biden, the task force said it's safe for students to be in class. are you going to encourage

unions to cooperate and get kids back to classrooms, sir? >> [inaudible] jedediah: what do you think, joe? >> i think that's bo erickson, he's with cbs, and and this is one of the few reporters, he's in a small club with another guy named peter doocy of this network as far as asking joe biden tough requests. bo erickson only had to yell that question that joe biden took such offense to because he didn't answer it. are you talking to the teachers unions as far as getting kids back in classrooms because the covid task force say classrooms are safe. okay, that's a legitimate question. instead, biden shoos it away in this situation. it's amazing how many reporters didn't come to bo erickson's defense as far as asking that question. it's a preview of what we're going to see, right? yelling questions at president trump, that was a daily occurrence in a a hostile way. joe biden gets one question in this case yelled at -- and

because, by the way, bo erickson also isn't on a predetermined list put together by his deputy communications director during every press conference of who's going to get questions and who isn't, boxing out certain reporters to protect their candidate, this guy wants to be leader of the free world, and he's afraid of the american press corps? i'm sure china and russia are watching say, oh, we get it now. this is a prewe view of things to -- preview of things to come. jedediah: well, he's gown to have to answer questions, like it or not. it's coming, it's a part of the job. joe concha, thanks so much for being here, we appreciate it. >> all right, guys. happy sunday. [laughter] jedediah: happy sunday to you. we're going to turn to some headlines for you now. congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez slams kyle rittenhouse's jail release as law and disorder tweeting in part, quote: does anybody believe he would be reloosed if he were miss -- released if he were muslim? if he was released on a $2 million bond.

service and the sacrifices of our soldiers that served, especially the 9/11 veterans. these are guys who went and ladies went repeatedly, year after year, deployment after deployment for many years to the point where you got, put yourself in the mindset that you were going to go until either you were killed in action or you were too hurt to go back. it wasn't just those who wore the uniform who sacrificed, but also those families that waited and stayed at home. so this is why this is important to tell these stories, books like you're writing with and what you do, continue to do for the veterans needs to be told. the sacrifice was more than most people can imagine between iraq and afghanistan, and i'm, like i said, i was honored to be there serving alongside some of our country's finest. pete: sergeant major, no one

loves the troops more than you do, and i can attest to that firsthand, no doubt. i was on your second tour to iraq. you did a third one where your outpost was ambushed. you were awarded the silver star, have been nominated for the distinguished service cross and should receive it, frankly, for what you did that day. just break down that moment for us. >> so this is on my third deployment, it was in 2007-2008. i was in the first eagle company, second squadron, second striker cavalry, and i we had row anticipated into sector. we assumed the position called the combat outpost in east baghdad. we were only on the ground for about two or three days, but our company had trained, you know, very, very hard. you hear the saying everybody wants to be a winner, but then everybody's got the will to prepare to win. we went in there and we were ready. we established our parties of

work, got the outpost prepared so we could defend from, and we were attacked within about 48 hours of being on the ground. the outpost was ace tacked from three different directions at once, and, you know, the thing i could the most, i couldn't be any more proud of how my soldiers performed that day, taking care of each other during a very difficult situation. pete: sergeant major, and they love you. we're out of time, but that's why people need to get this book, "modern warriors," to read stories like this. it was the preparation you put in that allowed guys to come home alive, and we remember those who didn't. sergeant major eric geressey, you won't take the title, but you're a hero, and somehow you made it through this segment without offending everybody, which you're good at.

can stretch out so far, but i fancy feeling full on thanksgiving. pete: i just go no pants. that makes it easier. jedediah: [laughter] pete: we do have, well i might not be wearing pants right now you don't even know. we're all just in a box, so take a guess. we do have john mcelmore on the program of masterbuilt bringing in thanksgiving food later on and we'll have it on set. will: a little barbecue. pete: barbecue is coming up, right, dave? jedediah: oh, look at that. all right, well on that topic of thanksgiving, there's been a lot of talk about potential travel, obviously the cdc has weighed in but we are seeing long lines across the country in airports, we're seeing long lines at food banks, amid fears of more lock downs as cases of covid has been speaking around the country and obviously there's many opinions about this , about whether to travel or not, how to travel, what sort of precautions to take, but we have

spoken to some travelers who have explained their perspective on why they feel it's so important to travel during thanksgiving. let's play that and then we can talk about it. >> i think that traveling during this time is definitely difficult. i'm a college student so i don't really have much of a choice. >> traveling is like the most important thing and not to be around family on a family special occasion day and a part of the year it's going to be rough on a lot of people. >> there's not a lot of cases where i'm from so i haven't been exposed at all. it feels honestly cleaner here than it does at like a store or anything like that. >> it's the safest place right now. they are very strict on their covid procedures and it's the time to get away. >> its been one and a half years we haven't seen her and her family and we're taking precautions as you see. >> things are safe. they sanitize everything. we have the masks, we have the spray, we have everything so we're fine. we're not taking the mask off. you've got to live your life at the end of the day that's all it

is. you you can't let the pandemic take it over. jedediah: yeah, i mean, you have to understand people around the country have been feeling very down in many cases they haven't been able to see loved ones in a really long time and the holidays are times to lift your spirits to come together and regroup, so i definitely understand that sentiment. obviously the c does c warned against travel because the covid cases are speaking and it has less to do with the airports and we will see more people in airports now than in recent months but more concern about families gathering from separate households and potentially elderly people being there, people who have co morbidity, people more vulnerable to serious infection so that's ultimately going to rest with people and they have to take proper precautions to protect themselves and their family hopefully get tested, do what they feel is right to protect themselves. i'm sure that individuals don't want their own families to be in harm's way so i have to hope they will do what they can to prevent that. will: what you're seeing is not just americans insisting on coming together but coming

together in moments of need. what you see on your screen are long lines at food banks not just talking about traveling for the holidays but helping each other through the holidays. for anyone, the cdc presidential candidate, i think what's important to take away here is the limits of mandates. it's about what is versus what should be. you can mandate to americans, you can tell them what to do but there will be a breaking point. there will be a moment where they say their family, traditions or lives become more important and we're seeing that breaking point reached across this country. let's give a couple examples if we can. first, here is chief andrew kud rick, from new jersey and told us earlier he won't be enforcing many new jersey's mandates for thanksgiving. listen. >> our community is hurting. i live here, i grew up here, i shop here, i go out to dinner here, and i talk one on one with our business owners. i see our community every day in our stores and i hear from them every day. i'm out in the community driving around and i see how much

they're hurting and when we're hurting in society now days, our friends and families are the ones that provide us support and lift us up and i wasn't going tv have my police officers going on knocking on people's doors just to check how many people are inside their house. it's not happening. pete: common sense, very measured. there are a lot of opinions about this , but there's only one opinion that ultimately matters and that's each individual soul. each individual choice. that's what this country is founded on is freedom and freedom of conscience and freedom to make the best decisions for your family. understanding the statistics and the virus, and understanding who might be vulnerable and making decisions accordingly but ultimately, it's good to see people like this , police chiefs in howell, effectively just applying that very same common sense to the way rules are applied and we won't knock-on your doors in your house if you have 11 people there. we'll trust you enough to make your own choices and those food bank lines are tragic to see and

also a reflection of top-down mandates that have said this business is essential but that one is not. you're open but you're closed and those arbitrary rules create environments where small businesses, certain industries, are totally shut down and crushed while big guys and other industries flourish and succeed because everyone needs certain things at certain times it's sad to see but i'm hartened by the increase of lines in airports of people willing to travel airports are very clean and safe i've been in many of them over the last 10 months and if people want to see their loved ones they are going to do that. jedediah: we talked a lot on this show about the role of government in all of this , the role of mandates, the role of curfew and california's covid kerr use went into effect at 10 p.m. on saturday night and you saw pretty quickly that curfew breakers rallies were popping up to protest these new lockdown measures. that was not surprising to me.

i think there comes a time when you have to really understand the human sentiment of rebillion when it comes to this , because you've seen so many businesses that have been shutdown, people are going stir crazy. not everyone lives in a space where they can go out into a giant yard and stretch their legs and feel like they are living at an estate. some people have been cramped up in apartments, unable to work, a lot of frustration, mental health issues are on the rise as a result of this which is completely understandable so i think people are rebelling just and feeling like they need a return to normalcy for themselves and for their families so you can't really blame them in many respects. this has been ongoing for a very long time. ric grenell actually weighed in on gavin newsom in particular and the mandates he put forth which of course he didn't follow himself. listen to what ric had to say. >> gavin newsom is the biggest phony ever. all you have to do is replay his statement on why he went to the french laundry restaurant, the very expensive restaurant and he lied to us and said that

he was outdoors when now we see the picture that he was indoors. this is the typical thing of sacramental though. politicians get away with this like in washington d.c. we don't have a media that holding them to account because california is a one-party state. will: there you have it. it is arbitrary, it is not enforced upon the rule creators themselves not followed by the rule creators themselves. it is coming down on your family , on your traditions. it is not going to be obeyed by people who make those individual choices, point out, pete, because in the end much of it doesn't make sense. pete: exactly. will: that's the simple truth. pete: i'll follow the rule if i get it. if it feels arbitrary, or the second time around and it'll hurt me even more, look at minnesota. it's november. it is not warm in minnesota. you can't do much outside pretty soon. shutting down every bar and

every restaurant for four weeks, it is going to absolutely crush what restaurant industry exists there. that's happening in other states where governors are making the same approach and jed you raised the point about that rally in california which i think is so right. what about the consequences of telling people that it closes at 10. would you rather have employee p safely inside a restaurant having dinner or outside on the street at 10:01 gathering together to protest the fact that they aren't allowed to be free people it doesn't make sense will to your point. will: they are going to reach their breaking point jedediah, they might already be doing so. jedediah: you really can't blame people. its been a very very long time now, and it was promised to be a lot shorter, so at some point you say when is it going to end when can i do x,y, andz. it's just human nature at this point. we'll turn to your headlines now two people are dead and two others are hurt after a shooting at a nebraska sonic drive-in. police say the chaos started after a u-haul truck filled with

fair works exploded outside the restaurant. the blast was followed by gun shots. a bomb squad searched the area and didn't find any other explosives. police have not said whether the explosion and shooting are linked. a suspect is in custody and the motive remains unclear. >> and at this hour the president is expected to join world leaders for the second day of the virtual g 20 summit. president trump participated from the white house situation room for the summit's opening remarks yesterday. several p to ices were discussed including the economy and covid-19. >> as we are a little more than a month away from christmas santa is making his list and checking it twice and you can check it too. you can see whether you made santa's naughty or nice list by looking up your name on the north pole's website, christmasaffairs.com. we decided to look up a few names at fox & friends, and my son hartley making the nice list , and i also made the nice list this year, along with will, [laughter] we can't say the same for pete.

we're red or blue, i mean, this is the president here. i was happy to do it. it was a historic day. pete: as we mentioned in the opening of this segment the michigan state board of canvassers scheduled to" moo on monday and as i understand it there are two republicans and two democrats on this board. will they vote to certify, do you think, and if it's a hung jury, 2-2 what happens after that? >> right, well i can tell you this , pete. i'm certainly not going to interfere in that process and i have not had a conversation with the board of state canvassers and i don't intend on having a conversation with the board of state canvassers but the way we've set it up is that our state law as you mentioned is two republicans and two democrat s and they certify the election for whoever won the popular vote. now, as you mentioned, the rnc and mrp both made a request to simply delay that certification for two weeks until there can be a full and complete audit done in wayne county. pete, we have 70%, 71% of the precincts in wayne county absentee ballot books don't

match what's on the rolls and that's very concerning that's why the legislature we've been doing our own investigations and our own reviews of these reports of fraud and the reports of irregularity regularities and these need to be looked into so pete as you mentioned if there were to be a 2-2 split on the state board of canvassers it would then go to the michigan supreme court to determine what their response be , what their order be. if they didn't have an order that it be certified well now we have a constitutional crisis in the state of michigan. its never occurred before because as the federal constitution says this is left up to the state legislature and the state legislature decided long ago to do it this way so if this way doesn't work obviously now we have questions that have, you know, a risen in michigan. pete: you're talking about tens of thousands of votes potentially on the absentee side that could, based on an investigation, be valid or not valid and what if the state legislature is mixed on whether or not they have confidence in who run the greater number of votes, then you're in an

interesting place. >> yeah it's a place i really don't want to be in, pete, to tell you the truth. our job is right now, is theres reports of fraud and the fact is no republican or democrat should be upset about an investigation done by the legislature and we've begun those investigations and we're going to continue those investigations in the coming weeks and pete let me also say this , for democrats who are saying that republicans are undermining the integrity of our election system and election process they couldn't be further from the truth. remember in 2016 when this first started the democrats were making unfounded claims that there was russian collusion, they said resist, he's not my president, that's what began to chip away at the confidence the american people had in the election system and now you have republicans wanting to look into irregularities and reports of fraud. i don't think transparency is too much to ask for because the people of the state of michigan do deserve that piece of mind. pete: it feels like rushing it through as opposed to giving it time to play out would have a lot of unintended effects, lee

jedediah: we're back with quick headlines. 70 columbia university students are temporarily banned from the campus after taking a trip to turks and caicos, reportedly banned for the schools travel policy during the pandemic. the students aren't allowed back on campus until december 1. >> the iconic rockefeller stating rink is opened with a reduced capacity and skating time is limited 50 minutes.

will: well there are new developments in the mysterious death of "cult mom" lori vallow 's third husband. police are confirming to fox news they're reviewing an investigation into joseph ryan's 2018 death after an audio recording released by ryan's sister allegedly reveals lori vallow talking about wanting to kill ryan amid a kudlow battle, over their daughter who was one of the two children found dead this year and here with new details is nancy grace host of a lori vallow investigation on fox nation. nancy give us the background as best you can. there's a lot of death, honestly , that surrounds this " cult mom." >> well that's exactly what i would start off an opening statement with if i were arguing this to a jury. how can it be just a coincidence that there's so many dead bodies around one person, cult mom lori vallow, but let's get right down to it i'm talking about third husband, joseph ryan. joseph ryan found dead, decomposing in his bed, when

neighbors smelled a foul odor. there's really no nice way to put that. that's what happened. now, quickly, anyone, a lay person, you don't have to be an investigator or a lawyer to figure this out, think about it. he's found dead in his bed, decomposing, and chad daybell's wife is found dead in her bed. that's quite the coincidence isn't it? will: and chad daybell is married to lori vallow, right so what you're talking about is two former spouses of this married couple, dead. >> exactly. exactly. so let's talk about this husband , joseph ryan. the third husband. he was in the midst of a bitter bitter custody dispute with cult mom lori vallow. he wanted to see his daughter ty lee. she didn't want him to. now catch this. even then, at the time of their contentious arguments, the

brother of laurie was involved alex cox. he actually hunted down the third husband, tased him repeatedly, plead guilty to third degree aggravated assault and did jail time. fast forward to charles vallow, cult mom's fourth husband, alex cox, had a pre-arranged visitation with jj was shot dead by alex cox, the brother, many believe, that cult mom lori vallow, so you've got two husband's of lori vallow attacked by her avenging angel brother, her words, not mine. that's not a coincidence. okay the tape you're referring to i've listened to them carefully and i've spoken to family members of joseph ryan. catch this. this is a hard ball are you ready? will: yup. >> we don't really know the cause of death of joseph ryan. it was assumed he died of a heart attack. nobody really knows because he's

decomposing at the time. those videos, those audios of cult mom lori vallow in it and i wrote it down to make sure, she used the bible scripture to justify the murder of joseph ryan. she says, "if he comes at you three times, you may then kill him. " she also says "i wanted to murder him" referring to joseph ryan. my only question is what took so long to open the investigation? will: nancy, it's almost hard to keep up with not because you did a poor job of explaining but because as you said there are so many dead bodies and that, by the way, isn't even highlighting the two children involved in this case as well. >> you're right. i know it sounds inside baseball , but the bottom line is this. cult mom lori vallow marries a cult leader chad daybell and suddenly her two children end up dead, dismembered, burned, on his property, and he's watching through the window and as the

cops get closer to the bodies and start pulling them up he gets in his car and leaves. do you know what? if i knew those children i'd be out there screaming, crying, demanding that i could help find their bodies but he took off. now here is the last thing i want you to know. a judge has just ruled they are going to be tried together and i could not be happier, because i call it the melted cheese theory , the ham sandwich the cheese gets all down in the ham and bread and you try the two of those together the jury will hear all of the evidence to get the cult mom and against chad daybell. will: where else you can get a lot of this information is on a lori vallow investigation with nancy grace, available right now , on fox nation. nancy, thanks so much as always. >> thank you. will: all right as lawmakers recused of breaking their own covid-19 restrictions everyone else faces more lockdowns and thanksgiving travel restrictions what do everyday americans think about that? lawrence jones found out and he brings us that, next.

will: welcome back we've been telling you about lawmakers accused of plotting their own coronavirus restrictions as americans face more lockdowns and are advised to travel not this holiday week. jedediah: so what are everyday americans say, lawrence jones got their reaction and he joins us now, lawrence? >> good morning, family. yeah, i had the opportunity to talk with some new yorkers about how they feel about the state

abusing its power, having rules for them, but not actually following those rules. take a look. >> so the cdc is recommending people don't travel or get together for thanksgiving. is that going too far or is that right? >> it's the right move it's necessary. >> it's really difficult to tell people what to do and put the restrictions on them because people are human. people need to be with their families. >> these governors and mayors telling us to put on a mask, telling us to socially distance and then you look at them and they're not wearing a mask. >> they were preaching one thing and doing another. >> i think shame on them. >> shame on them, guys. this is just ridiculous. i think people are fed up. it's one thing to be responsible but for the people in power to make these rules and then not follow them themselves this is why people are saying we're going to do what we feel is best pete: absolutely lawrence got to get your take on another topic as well as it pertains to covid-19.

the governor of new york, cuomo famously, we know, put patients back into covid- infected patients back into nursing homes thousands died as a result. yet they want to give them the international emmy association is talking about giving him an employee emmy award for leadership during the pandemic. what's your take? >> i think he deserves the reward. look at it. this was performance. i think the media during a time of crisis didn't ask a lot of questions, they didn't talk about the nursing homes and they didn't talk about the fact that we have over 33,000 people die in new york and i think it was more of an anti-trump message. oh, this is the guy that's calm ing us down. i even gave him credit in the beginning to say okay this is a guy that's trying to explain things but when you start looking at the numbers and you look at the results in new york, it's a mess here, and it's not just covid. it's the crime here. it's the fact that he wasn't able to get the nursing homes

under control and still have not answered any questions about it. meanwhile he's on a book tour, still getting all of this , so yes, he should get an oscar as well for the performance. will: absolutely that's what i was going to say give him an oscar because it was an absolutely stunning false portray all like any acting job is the distortion of reality and before we go can we return to your piece that first interview you had you said with what do you have, what? >> [laughter] i already know who you're talking about are you talking about the guy the head of the football union? will: no, no, i wanted to go with the guy that said to you he thought the restrictions were important. what i'm fascinated by is all of the people were upset with politicians not following the rules. was their takeaway condemnation of the politicians are beginning to question the necessity of the rules? >> well, the people that really question the rules did not want to be on the camera. the people that wanted to travel they literally told me, you know , this is my opinion, which that happens all the time where people don't want to be counsel

ed or the backlash and they say they don't want to be on camera because they are going to travel but they do it safely they just feel like they have reached their breaking point and they want to see their family. look, guys this has been a really tough year, and we need to see our family members and love on each other and we need to hug our moms and dads but we also got to protect the vulnerable as well. we can do that as americans these guys aren't passing bills or getting testing done to make sure people have ppe or to save these businesses and so americans are saying, we got to figure out how to do this ourselves. will: lawrence real quick now i know that was why you were laugh ing? was that demore smith behind that mask? >> it was. will: the head of the nfl player s association. it did say nfl pa on the mask but now you started laughing i was like well i guess that's head of the union. great as always, thanks. turning now to your headlines.

>> the u.s. military sending b- 52 bombers on a short- notice mission to the middle east. officials would not say where the planes went but said the flight was to "deter aggression and reassure u.s. partners and allies in the region." it comes days after the trump adminitration announced plans to pull 2,500 troops from iraq and afghanistan by mid-january. >> back in the states marines spring into action to save a woman trapped under a car. watch as surveillance footage shows the marines run out of a guard booth after she was hit at a d.c. intersection while riding a scooter. with the help of good samaritans they used two jacks to prop up the car so crews could help her. she survived. awesome. >> a wisconsin four-year-old gets his head stuck in a cat- scratching tree. take a look. parker's mom says she heard him screaming for help [laughter] after his head became wedged in the hole. she says once she realized he wasn't hurt, it was hard not to

laugh, i bet. she tried getting him out before calling fire department and firefighters came in helping parker free his head. pictures of the rescue have been shared thousands of times online do you have a cat tree? pete: i do not have a cat tree. i have cats that climb high into the trees and then one of these days they aren't going to come down. will: you also have a lot of kids so don't get a cat tree. obviously it's a hazard. jedediah: they like it though. they like it. my parents have three cats and we have those trees all over the house and they love them so just saying. just don't put your head in it. pete: you know this , any young boy wants to see whether it's bars or whatever you stick your head through everything. and look at that. i would stick my head through that and see if it comes back out. jedediah: i believe that. i entirely believe that, pete. pete: did they try, they must have tried a lot of yanking before they called the fire department. jedediah: oh, man.

rick reichmuth, yeah, if you're with us, rick, i have to ask are you at all surprised that pete would stick his head through a cat tree and see if it would come out the other side because i'm not? rick: of course i can't believe they didn't like lather his head in butter to get him out of there. pete: that's true. i agree with you. rick: man, i would lose my mind. all right, guys here is your temps waking up a little bit cool up across the northern part of the country, southern tier still looking warm in fact that's kind of the case with this for much of this coming week, but still not any real significant cold air in place. east coast looking good, we got a few showers again today in florida, and the same front that we were dealing with yesterday was just kind of stalled out across parts of the ohio valley beginning to move a little bit as it does part of the northern side of this a little bit of colder air, we'll see a little bit of snow maybe an inch or two nothing that causes any problems but be careful out on the roads this is your first time out on the roads for a lot of people maybe this year with

snow. all right, sundays i like to say how much precipitation you'll get throughout the coming week. we've got a pretty good area of precipitation coming across parts of the south but this is friday into saturday, for the most part we'll be talking about just some pretty light rain and then finally, pete, i took the turkey out of canada. will: oh, he's got it moving. jedediah: it's all over the u.s. pete: now he's in mexico. oh, now he's back. rick: better for you? do you like that? pete: outstanding, rick. well done. rick: there you go you're welcome. pete: he's traveling ignoring the restrictions traveling all across the country. jedediah: i love it. rick: social social distancing though. pete: the weather looks great for thanksgiving. jedediah: thank you, rick the turkey is social distancing i love it. still ahead the fda announcing another breakthrough in the race for a covid-19 treatment so what does this mean in the fight against the virus? we speak with an infectious disease expert, that's next. we live in a world of fees.

pete: we're back with quick headlines a college football team gets blocked from bringing a chain saw on to the field. >> [chain saw sounding] pete: a referee, the fun police, stopping a mississippi gulf coast community college lineman from taking the chain saw on to the field and the team 's coach says the chain saw represents a play called " saw" that its been a tradition to bring it on to the field. okay, and check this out. a goalkeeper in germany's top soccer league on a clearance kick, giving the other team the tying goal. look at that whoop! that was a chris burman reference right there but a late game winning goal saved

the goalkeeper from whoop! embarrassing drop, that's it jed over to you. jedediah: thanks, pete the fda approving emergency use of regeneron's covid-19 treatment the antibody cocktail mimics an immune response to infection and was given to president trump when he contracted the virus. this , as a new study reveals those who developed covid-19 antibodies are unlikely to get the virus again for at least six months. here with details professor of infectious disease at the university school of medicine dr. william shafner. doctor thank you for joining us obviously this news about the regeneron antibody cocktail is great news lots of questions have a risen and the question i have is that an accurate assessment that your antibodies would last about six months or as i've been told by some doctors, a season. >> [laughter] well we're still learning about that, six months is a good thing we actually hope they last a

little bit longer, but more studies are needed as we follow more patients for a longer period of time. jedediah: so doctor, this may sound like a silly question for you, but for me, this is something that's occurred. i had covid-19 and i have antibodies as a result of having the infection. do my antibodies, would they be likely to last the same amount of time as the antibodies of someone who never had the infection but got the vaccine? >> well, we don't know the answer to that either, jed it maybe that you're naturally- acquired antibodies and thank goodness that you recovered well, will last even longer. we haven't done enough long term studies yet. after all this virus has been with us only a few months, so we're following patients along to find out the answers to those questions. jedediah: so the possibility does exist then, though, that and we don't know for sure this either, but there is a possibility that rather than be, you know, a vaccine that you get once and then get a couple boosters and you're set for life

there is a possibility this could look more like a flu, that you would then have to get annually, is that accurate? >> well, yes. the short answer is yes. we don't know what that interval is but most of us anticipate that sometime down the road we'll have to get revaccinated every year, every three years we'll just wait and see what that interval is. jedediah: you know, that brings in a larger conversation about masks and safety measures and people get nervous when they hear information because they say does that mean this is a whole lifestyle change forever? i'd seen at one point and i can't remember who said it but i'd seen it on social media saying that if you had the virus already, and had antibodies that you should still wear a mask because you could potentially still carry that virus and give it to someone who had not contracted it. do you know if that's accurate? >> well, jed, this is the advanced course. that's exactly correct. one of the things you don't know

is if you have antibodies and you get reinfected, can you, will you be protected against disease? we think so, but could you bw a carrier and still contagious to others? that's something else we still have to work out, and so it's recommended that all of us for this period of time continue to wear the masks, do social distancing. now, when we vaccinate a large proportion of the population, this will take months, then i think we can start relaxing these necessary recommendations, but that will take months, so let's not throw our masks away anytime soon. jedediah: and doctor quickly just your thoughts on travel this thanksgiving and any advice you could give to people with respect to that and safety precautions? >> don't, but if you do, be very careful, always wear your mask, try to stay away from other people, lots of good hand hygiene, and good luck to you. we want to give thanks, we don't want to give the virus.

jedediah: yeah, okay dr. william shafner thank you for being here and clarifying what you can obviously a lot to still learn about this but every bit of information we can get weekly, daily it's more information than we had the week before so we appreciate all you're doing on this thanks so much. >> my pleasure. jedediah: amid the election battle trump supporters turn out in droves a live report coming up plus here is an idea for your thanksgiving feast, occasion deep fried turkey we join the mc elmore's in the kitchen, that's next. >> ♪ ♪ businesses today are looking to tomorrow. adapting. innovating.

anybody. at this point several states have already certified, more will be certifying over the next few weeks. the president and his supporters hoping that something gives, but meanwhile there's no evidence that anything could change if the president does end up finding out something. i do want to show you though, the electoral map. i want to talk actually about the electoral votes. joe biden, the president-elect, received 306 that's what fox news is reporting. we're also told that pardon me, that president trump, 232. those numbers are what hillary clinton received in 2006. i want to show you this is a stop the steal rally the president's supporters protested for a second week in a row. rallies took place in california , wisconsin, georgia and other states and people from both sides of the spectrum came out. okay, so you saw people in

wisconsin, in tennessee, in different states, but basically, now the president this morning was tweeting and yesterday, also was tweeting that he believes that joe biden putting forward a cabinet before all the votes are counted is somewhat of a problem. we do want to show you a picture of some of the staff members in the west wing that president-elect biden has put forward. this includes ron clain, he's going to be president-elect biden's chief of staff, we also know that there are several other people including jen o'mally dillon who was biden's campaign manager the deputy chief of staff for biden. late last night the trump campaign requested a recount in georgia and the president had every right to do that because the margin is within a .5 percentage of a difference. now there was already a hand recount canvass done, and governor brian kemp already

certified that but the trump campaign is requesting a recount in georgia so looks like that will happen. will: thank you so much, david. >> thank you. will: i'm sorry, jedediah go ahead. jedediah: it's okay. no, no, you can go. go right ahead. will: what i think you began to see from david in the tweet he laid out from president trump last night is a strategy that will unveil over the coming weeks a strategy that shows the president will make a political effort to convince many state legislators in swing states like michigan and georgia to potentially change their election electors from joe biden to donald trump electors, and there's a lot of talk about evidence and in the form of a court case is largely being put on display in meeting its expectations in many cases being thrown out in a court of law but for the political case that evidence is to come and we had jonathan turley on a little bit earlier talking about this political strategy, this political effort that you're starting to see when it comes to state legislators a little bit earlier.

here is what. >> jon: turley had to say. >> the reason i call it the strategy is to try to show how difficult this is. what they would have to do is create substantive problems, or raise substantive concerns in these states, to lead republican legislatures to either prevent the submission of electoral votes or even submit dualing or conflicting sets of election electors. we haven't seen this type of movement in states controlled by republican legislatures so i'm afraid this shot is going to make luke skywalker shot look like bean bag. it's going to have to really come together the next few days. jedediah: yeah again as of right now evidence has not been shown to allege what is being alleged in these press conferences by rudy giuliani and sidney powell. i think that it's an important one that in court, massive fraud that would overturn the election

is not being alleged so i think it be very difficult and very unlikely for legislators in these state, republican legislatureses to turn around and say we're going to make a decision that goes against the will of the people without proper evidence. if evidence were to manifest that showed this massive fraud spoken about in these press conferences i think that would really change things up significantly. with that being said just one other quick point. if joe biden were to get security clearances, which many have argued he should at this point, if he were to start building at least in his mind, a cabinet, that doesn't prevent the trump adminitration from continuing to bring their battles to court right now. those are two very separate issues. they can continue to bring stuff to court. it has been largely unsuccessful in court as of right now but they have the freedom to continue to do that regardless of what joe biden does, with respect to his own cabinet and with respect to security briefings and that decision as of right now he doesn't get those briefings but that may change. pete: and they will continue to do that because the campaign has actually alleged there is

widespread fraud on the ground where signatures were not verified against ballots that counted, ballots that arrived late were counted, ballots mailed in were treated differently than people that voted at the polls and then you have the systemic question of systems which is what sidney powell and rudy giuliani talked about where they said they're making their opening case, again all they're asking for is patience and pause. state legislatures have a chance to look at these and review them and ultimately, the challenge that might be made in state legislatures is casting doubt as to whether or not those legislatures can say with confidence who won the greater number of votes based on the recount and its only been two and a half weeks and it is premature to declare that joe biden is the president-elect. we shall find out who the president-elect is when all the legal votes are counted and that's the kind of thing that state representative lee chatfield whose the republican from michigan, speaker of the house, that's what's in front of him right now. there's been challenges. will they certify the vote and

get a delay for two weeks to review the systems and ballots there, he's got that in front of him and he was on our program earlier and here is what he had to say. >> the rnc and mrp both made a request to simply delay that certification for two weeks until there can be a full and complete audit done in wayne county. 71% of the precincts in wayne county, absentee ballots books don't match what's on the rolls, and that's very concerning. that's why the legislature we've been doing our own investigation s and our own reviews of these reports of fraud, and the reports of irregularities and i think these need to be looked into. in fact, no republican or democrat should be upset about an investigation done by the legislature and i don't think transparency is too much to ask for. pete: he ended by saying after what was done to president trump in 2016, every year four years we can take the amount of time necessary, four week, six weeks to determine who the right wall victor was and legal votes are the only ones ultimately counted and then we'll let the chips fall where they may from there

and we'll continue to cover it on this program but another thing we're looking at of course in a covid-19 moment, everybody, you feel that weight on your chest it's both the election result but also the restrictions we're feeling as individuals. well, do we open up, do we lockdown, both sides look very differently at it including bernie sanders, the socialist senator proposing this very socialist tweet. he says this. every working class american needs $2,000 a month, every unemployed american needs $600 a week. every american needs healthcare as a human right, no american should go hungry or homeless, the do-nothing senate must act so will as opposed to ppp loans which empower employers to continue to keep people on the payroll as opposed to opening up up responsibly you get a fast ball pitch down the middle of let's just pay people to stay home. will: yeah that is socialism made clear and a rejection of capitalism the system of economics that built this country. this is what you could possibly be looking at in a biden administration, but for the president's legal fight, and the state of georgia, the

all-important senate races in that state. now we had a business owner from minnesota, a bar owner, brent mo npetit, i hope i'm saying that right he was talking earlier about these types of measures combined with shutdowns and what that's doing to his business. >> well a lot of these businesses are really following strict protocol and it's a little frustrating kind of like being told that we can't be trusted to properly or safely operate our businesses. there's a reason we've been in business for 50 years. it's because we pivot, we change as times call for it, and the minneapolis health department came out with those guidelines we followed them strictly to stay open, and to do good business, it's so disappointing that there is no near term plans from the government and we're walking into this as a major unknown, which is very scary from a small family-owned business like us. jedediah: yeah important to note

too that that business owner has opted to close for the next few weeks because staying open just wasn't worth it. that's a particular business that doesn't make enough money when it comes to deliveries, to validate them saying well, let's staff it, keep it open. that's been the case for a lot of businesses too because when you say take out, not every restaurant, not every industry is going to be able to survive on take out. some industries survive their whole bread and butter is that people come in-person, they socialize. that's the whole component to it in fact on staten island it was a restaurant recently that closed but they didn't have a take out business. their whole business was people in-person coming, family, holidays and they've lost it so it was very sad and it was sad to hear him say they were going to shutdown because it wasn't just worth it right now. pete: a lot of restaurants make their actual margins on alcohol too. and people aren't there and not ordering it you're not making anything. turning now to a few additional headlines. an arkansas police officer shot and killed in the line of duty is laid to rest. family, friends and fellow

brothers and sisters in blue mourning the loss of officer travis wallace killed earl your this month while following a tip about a shooting suspect that's what our police do every day. wallace is a five-year department veteran who leaves behind a son. god bless him. >> the fda approving emergency use of covid-19 treatment regeneron, the antibody therapy was given to president trump when he contracted the virus as an antibody cocktail that mimics an immune response to an infection used to treat covid-19 in high-risk patients showing mild-to-moderate symptoms. regeneron says it expects to have the doses ready for 80,000 patients by the end of the month >> the rat academy is now in session. new yorkers are learning how to deal with the city's surging rat problem through an online two- hour course. the class is called the rat academy and will is a proud graduate trains them on rat prevention, many new yorkers are taking the class after seeing

rats as big as bunnies roaming the streets. some even say they've seen rats chew through car engine wires costing thousands of dollars in repairs. is that necessary? will: that's happened. i've had that happen. pete: really? will: i swear had to have the electrical system replaced. pete: rats the size of bunnies? will: i don't know if they are that big. i've seen them. jedediah: in new york oh, yeah. oh, the subway, pete? you see rats sometimes you think it's a cat from a short distance away. it's something. pete: i've seen them. i came out my door this morning there was a beautiful deer laying in the grass. will: oh, get out of here want to share my rat story with the nation? pete: sure, yes. will: no i can't do that. pete: no, don't, don't. will: got to make a turn because up next, andrew cuomo's pandemic response is sparking outrage after the virus killed thousands in new york's nursing homes. our next guest who lost their father, call out the governor for denying responsibility.

jedediah: new york governor andrew cuomo will receive an emmy for his daily coronavirus briefing despite the thousands of seniors who died from coronavirus in new york nursing homes. our next guest lost their 89- year-old father to the virus who was a patient at a nursing home facility in brooklyn. last month they helped organize a mock funeral for cuomo's leadership and integrity, daniel and peter arvini join me now, thank you both for joining me on this very sad topic our hearts go out to you for losing your father at this time. really really terrible. daniel if you would just first tell us a little bit about your father his story and how he died >> sure. my father was a vivacious 88- year-old man who was still working at 88, very sharp, christmastime, we enjoyed it together. immediately after christmas, he got sick, and that led to a series of three months of him

being in the hospital, being in rehab, which culminated around march 25 with us being told while he was in rehab at a nursing home we need to take him home because they were being forced to accept covid patients and regardless of how many elected officials locally called the governor and the nursing homes called and said please don't do this , one of the many other facilities that they could use including the samaritan's purse and central park, the fema , and setup in the javi ts center he could for six weeks-ish he sent covid patients to nursing homes and that ended, when we took our father out, we saw how bad the nursing homes were because they weren't getting support and we partnered with a couple local

organizations, and the community raised money, donated thousands of pieces of ppe. before my father passed, after my father passed and in my family's name, in one week, jed, and i say this very, um, it's hard for people to hear this , so i'll just say it. in one week, we had five of our family members die. four from covid, three were in nursing homes -- jedediah: daniel, that's terrible and i hate to interrupt , please. i hate to do this but i just want to make sure we get peter in as well into this segment and this is all just breath takingly horrible news. peter what was your reaction to hearing that cuomo was getting the emmy? >> i would think that he just doesn't deserve an emmy. he deserves an academy award for

directing and creating a horror show in nursing homes. his march 25 directive to put positive covid patients back into nursing homes was done without any science and thousands of people died and me and my brothers stand before the american people as covid offerings and there's thousands of us and people did not need to die and if it was a mistake, which it was, the governor needs to own his mistakes, he needs to apologize for his mistakes and we need closure and an investigation into this order to protect the most vulnerable. his first defense to his order was he used the word called discrimination and he stated that we cannot discriminate against covid patients, and i believe that there was no one in america that believes protecting

the most vulnerable population in nursing homes -- jedediah: i hate to interrupt you guys we're unfortunately up against a hard break but we greatly appreciate you being here our hearts go out to you for your losses and we hope that you receive the justice that you seek. thank you so much for joining us with your heart-felt story. >> thank you. jedediah: thank you so much. all right, more "fox & friends" coming up on the other side.

pete: welcome back thousands of trump supporters gathering at stop the steal rallies protesting against voter fraud as the trump team continues its legal challenge of the election results. here on the fallout columnist and author mark steyn, all- around great guy mark thank you so much for joining us this

morning we appreciate it. at moment the like this , you want to hear from smart people who have thoughtful takes on things and just kind of let them rip. where are we right now, mark what's your take? >> well, the united states state department would not recognize this election, if it took place in sudan or rwan da or anywhere you care to name. that's to say all of the things they complain about the united states government that happens in rwanda or sudan is now happening in the united states where you have a completely in secure election and there are two aspects to this. there were basically the mail-in ballots on a scale no western nation has ever done before, and most of the countries that the left tells us they want to be like, bernie sanders says oh, you know, we don't, when we say socialism we don't mean venezuela, we mean scandanavia.

well no scandanavian country would have an election like the one we've last seen, venezuela does, in fact, sidney powell has pointed out we're actually using the same voting machines now. mail-in ballots are generally not permitted in most european union countries because they tend towards corruption so at some point, these elections have to be cleaned up on a systemic basis. whether you can do that before the electoral college meets in december is a slightly trickier thing for the president's lawyer s. pete: what do you make of the legal strategy so far? are they pursuing, are they taking the right approach? do you see enough traction in the coming weeks because it's going to be weeks, maybe a month , to expose any of this. >> well he's up against the clock. i found it interesting when this judge yesterday in pennsylvania dismissed the trump

case. and he said that it be , he said despite the equal protection clause of the united states constitution, it be completely preposterous to expect every pennsylvania county to run the same kind of election throughout the state of pennsylvania. that's absolutely preposterous. 8:00 p.m. on election night in new brunswick about a month ago, a province in canada that's been subject to the same covid outbreaks as everywhere else, the polls closed at 8:00 p.m., and the province announced the results of the election at 8 :55 p.m. in carolyn malone's district in new york city where i believe rudy giuliani actually lives, in carolyn malone's district there's still like 40% of the vote still to count. why in a tiny, urban district,

can you not count that vote we're getting on now for three weeks. that is actually a fundamentally corrupt election. that's a venezuela election. pete: not to mention the stopping of the count when you knew you be counting it leaves a lot of people to wonder what in the world is going on. appreciate your take on all of that but you mentioned canada. the largest city is now under a lockdown in canada for 28 days. justin from canada says if they take the right precautions, they might be able to save christmas. he's going to save christmas for us, mark. >> [laughter] that's very good of justin. that's very sporting of him. it's all, the goal posts keep getting kicked farther and farther down the road. in a few weeks time, justin will be saying oh, sorry about christmas but you know, if we just agree to another lockdown we might be able to save st. patrick's day or easter or whatever comes next.

as we just heard, a couple of minutes ago, lockdown actually gets in the way of protecting the most vulnerable. lockdown is a strategy that never works because it basically postpones whatever the covid is doing. you'll go out into lockdown, then when you emerge the covid comes back and does what it would have done a month earlier. we're driving the entire global economy off the cliff with lockdown and nothing but lockdown. pete: amen, mark steyn, your point about mail-in, mail-out ballots is so important, the amount of corruption that's allowed if that becomes the standard for our system is jarring, mark steyn we cannot thank you enough. >> absolutely, pete i'm forming the election day paper ballots party just to get election day paper ballots, come and join me. pete: the election day paper ballots party led by mark steyn, that could get some traction sign me up, done. >> single-issue party.

pete: [laughter] thank you, mark appreciate it. all right coming up, will there be another trump on the ballot in 2022, lara trump is up next on whether she's running for the senate in north carolina and on the elections, don't go anywhere. >> ♪ ♪ history

will: thousands of trump supporters protesting election fraud at the stop the steal rallies across the u.s.. this , as president trump asks why joe biden is forming a cabinet amid ongoing legal challenges to the election. here with an update, lara trump, senior advisor for the trump 2020 campaign good morning, lara >> good morning great to be with you. will: let's start with this before we get into the issues of the day, your brother-in-law, donald trump jr. has been diagnosed with covid-19 how is he feeling can you give us an update? >> well he's doing great, one of the fortunate one who does not have any symptoms of covid but he's taking all precautions and tested regularly until he gets the number of negative tests necessary and we hope to see him at thanksgiving we'll see what happens. will: great glad to hear that. we'll get into your thanksgiving plans in just a moment but let's talk about the rallies going on across the united states and the president's plans for the upcoming weeks i want to put up on the screen a tweet

from the president last night wherein he seemed to layout some of his plans going forward. what i want to focus on, lara, is the last line of the tweet which he says hopefully the courts and/or legislators will have the courage to do what has to be done to maintain the integrity of our election. what will be the campaign strategy when it comes to something rumored for quite some time? will there be an effort to sway state legislators in places like michigan or georgia or arizona , to change their electo rs from pro-biden to pro-president trump electors? >> well i think that the general effort is to make sure that this election is free and fair and every legitimate vote gets counted and you've seen you've been showing the stap the steal rallies last time i checked the people were still in charge of the united states of america and there are about 74 million people out there who do not feel like the result of this election has been presented is accurate.

you know, i think it's very hard for people to rationalize that a guy like joe biden who could barely scrape together 12 people to go to a campaign event for him, you know, even a couple of weeks ago, suddenly somehow got around 80 million votes. donald trump gained 10 million votes from 2016. we all were out all across the country working hard, you saw that there were tens of thousands of people that were coming to trump events and then like 12 to 20 people showing up to a joe biden event. this is like if the guy on the street corner is trying to sell you a gucci wallet for $12 you probably know it's not a gucci wallet so people have been very clear something is wrong, we have been trying to get to the bottom of it from the trump campaign and we just want the right thing to happen all of the legitimate votes to be counted. will: and lara, what is your right about the number of people or the enthusiasm out there or the passion out there for making sure this election was on the up and up, but to what extent i'm curious, do you

think the campaign will go? will it go to the those state legislators? >> well that's a possibility. look we've obviously been putting forward lawsuits across the country in states where we feel like there were really egregious violations of people's rights and the way this election process played out, and we're open to anything. we again want the right thing to happen here, and so far, you've seen the fraud that has been uncovered you've seen that dead people have been voting. people have been voting in multiple states, the recount in georgia just showed suddenly oh, my gosh, thousands of votes were uncovered most of which went to donald trump that somehow they missed the first round, so we're open to doing whatever is necessary to make sure that this election happened in a proper way and again, every legal vote gets counted. will: i have to ask you about this , so i know you've addressed this once or twice but your native home state is north carolina, and there are rumors out there that you're considering running for senate in north carolina in 2022. are you going to run for senate?

>> well look, our priority right now is obviously getting through this election. it is still going on, we are far from over this one right now, we're still working very hard on this and i think it's probably a little too soon to break any news on that front but look it is my home state as you just pointed out. it's a state that i hold near and dear and it's always going to be home for me. i love this state so much, eric and i named our daughter carolina after my home state and it be an honor to run for such a prestigious position in my home state but maybe a little early to make a decision on that so stay tuned. will: i will stay tuned you've brought it up earlier your thanksgiving plans, your hopefully donald trump jr. will be healthy enough to attend. what are the plans for you and eric and the family? >> well, we're a bit up in the air, still this is of course a unique year for all of us in america, trying to figure out how best to have thanksgiving and so forth, but we all are planning to be together as a family, so i think at the end of the day, that's the most important thing making sure we

celebrate time together with family and, you know, it really is a year of all years i think we can all appreciate that and celebrating how fortunate we are to live in such a great country like america and, you know, to get through this year, quite frankly. will: absolutely two sentiments worth seconding there getting through this year and fortunate to be in a country like america. lara trump thank you so much for your time this morning. >> thank you. will: all right bernie sanders is renewing his calls for $2,000 monthly stimulus payments, while slamming what he calls a do- nothing senate. but would this actually help the economy? maria bartiromo is here to answer that, next. >> ♪ ♪

okay? this is bernie sanders tweet. every working class american gets 2,000 a month, unemployed americans $600 a week, this is the key, i think, maria, every american gets healthcare because it's a human right. do you know what else is? the ability to be free from going hungry or homelessness. those are nice wish lists but are they right, maria? maria: wow, this is unbelievable you guys thank you so much and good morning to you. pete: good morning. maria: i think that this is exactly what is explaining what we have in front of us. two different approaches to governing. on the one hand, president trump 's approach to governing has been make sure that there are enough opportunities for people to work. give people the access to employment so that they can make as much as they want, they can make sure to work hard, to ensure that they have equality and access to a job and to their own money, and the other approach is to give people who do not have enough, give it to

them, like free school, free healthcare, free et cetera, $2,000 checks and what we saw from president trump's approach earlier this year is that income inequality had actually begun to narrow. that was what we saw, because the bottom earners were making more money and they were lifting themselves up and that was lifting many boats. everything comes down to these senate races, guys. on january 5, these races could not be more important, because if the democrats are in control of the senate, all of those programs will get through the senate. not to mention cabinet picks of an incoming biden potential administration, cabinet picks as well as things like higher taxes, $4.3 trillion in taxes, big green new deal, all of that will go right through the senate so that's where these january 5 senate races are so important. we'll be talking about that and this morning we're getting outside legal analysis to the president's legal team and what

they are charging in terms of voter fraud. i'll talk with alan dershowitz to get his independent views on whether or not president trump still has a path to victory, we're also zeroing in on those january 5 senate races, and look what's going on in the house all of this time, constant victories a much more diversified membership that kevin mccarthy is sitting atop, he's likely going to see the speakership in two years , when we've got the mid-terms, we're all over that again we'll see you in 10 minutes guys. will: sounds good. pete: maria bartiromo, always love having you thank you so much we'll see you in 10 minutes maria: thank you. pete: country music star lee greenwood honoring our nation's heros with an all-american performance at this year's patriot awards, and he's here, next, with takeaways with a special live performance you will not want to miss. >> ♪ ♪
