and in california, governor gavin newsom says 51 of the state's 58 counties could be praised under a stay-at-home order. also, yesterday, the people in rhode island, if you got a smart phone you got one of those alerts on your phone. and what it said was essentially the hospitals are full and it looks as if because the hospitals are at capacity they are asking people to stay at home as much as possible over the next two weeks. ainsley: that was one of those states -- i have a friend and she goes there on the weekends to take her boys in the back yard. they knocked on the door in the very beginning of the pandemic because she had a license plate from new york to make sure she had been tested. then they opened up rhode island. a lot of new york other fers couldn't go to other places drive there to go on vacation. now back to where they started. brian: hypocrisy alert, turns out in california where they think the best onks is a great definition where everyone stays at home and continue to be the only modern society that

quarantines healthy people. they have said listen, shut down your businesses, shut down your gyms. shut down your restaurants and i'm going to vote says -- to do all of that. i'm going to shut it down. and then she was spotted in santa monica in favorite restaurant eating outdoors. i wanted to squeeze it in right before i shut everybody else down on the last day before she did it. here is the quote she did diane at il, spanish for ill. steve: i think it's italian. >> she loves ilforno if you love it you should be able to go. she is sad to see it like so many other restaurants suffer from a decline in revenue. she went there and took precautions i will add lib this because she decide thed to vote to shut it down. steve: she did, of course, if you are in the business of being in the restaurant business you think hey, wait a minute, she shutting is down and, yet, she is being hypocritical by saying,

you know what? it's dangerous there, i'm still going to go. here is a guy who owns a place in l.a. called slap fish and he was on with laura last night and he said this just stinks. >> nothing says take my rules less seriously than not following your own rules, right? and this most recent move, which obviously, you know, that kind of distilled down from the top because a after gavin newsom 15, 20 course hypocrisy dinner eating indoors without masks on in groups over 20 when the day before he said don't do all things i'm about to do and now outdoor dining which actually there is no sings saying you scg you should ban outdoor dining. everyone agrees there no reason you should ban outdoor dining but then they still go and dine outdoors. >> the mayor in el paso texas is

looking at the rio grand valley. two fold. part of it is coronavirus fatigue. people are sick of the lockdown they are so not being careful anymore. he reminds people to please wear the mask. he says they have done contact tracing and it looks as if a lot of the cases are coming from those big box stores that everybody thought were safe. ainsley: the guy you just saw on laura's show we are losing our business and staff meanwhile walmart and target can stay open. maybe we get a low paying job with one of these larges corporations sings they're shutting down our outdoor dining. another guy alex jordan. he is the owner of eat at joe's restaurant in row did and dough beach, california. he put a big banner outside of his restaurant he said the hypocrisy has annoyed me i want

my business to survive. brian: you don't get any communication with the people shutting you down. they are not making an effort for the most part any politicians to find out what is going on. precautions being made. how they can work together with the health department to make it work. every time you shut down a business and feel good about yourself, you are athletic the linelengtheningthe lines at foo. first time food bank people who say i never thought in my life i would be lined up to eat. that's what happens when you shutter business. only 3% of the positive cases came from restaurants. let alone outdoor dining where it's even less. steve: there are a number of lockdowns going on across the country trying to slow the curve here in new york stated, the governor said yesterday what we're going to be doing is we are trying to keep the hospitals from hitting capacity and so they're going to open some field hospitals. it's interesting, talking of lockdowns, the country of

england did a lockdown about three weeks ago and as it turns out, it looks as if the cases have fallen by 30%. so it's been tough on the people over there but it appears to have slowed the curve. ainsley: when you look at the numbers though in november 4 million u.s. cases. one third of our total cases since the outbreak begin 13.5 million people have gotten it and a third of them this month. brian: europe said hey we beat them, america be more like europe. guess what it came back in september and then they locked down again. ainsley: vaccine is around the corner. brian: it is. steve: should be here by now. brian: fda take your time. to another top story. griff jenkins live in washington as the trump campaign sends its fifth request to georgia's secretary of state for a signature audit to compare signatures from the people that voted to the one on file. griff? griff: that's right, brian, ainsley and steve, good morning. you are talking about governors in the hot seat. georgia's governor finds himself there although not because of

covid-related because georgia is really the ground zero for election results right now. the president again claiming victory yesterday and demanding that fifth audit of ballot signatures and he is promising more lawsuits and is he ratcheting up his feud with the republican governor there tweeting this: saying why won't governor brian kemp the 457less governor of georgia use his emergency powers which can be easily done to overrule i had on citizen that the secretary of state and do a match of signatures on envelopes. it will be a gold mine of fraud and we will easily win the state. georgia law prevents the governor from interfering in election he is. now this as the republican secretary of state brad rehabilitation berger announces they are investigating more than 250 claims of voter fraud and irregularities. though he did not foresee the outcome likely to change the overall results. meanwhile, more than 940,000

absentee ballots have already been requested in the highly anticipate you had senate runoffs in january where raffensperger has already launched an investigation into four third party outside groupings allegedly seeking to influence the vote. >> these third party groupings have a responsibility to not encourage illegal voting. if they do so, they will be held responsible. griff: among raffensperger allegations attempting to register a dead woman in alabama and encouraging college students to temporarily change their residency to vote. now the groupings have denied any wrongdoing and casting killing legal vote in georgia is a felony. you haven't begun to hear the end of all of this because vice president pence is down in georgia on friday. then president trump heads down on saturday where he says georgia republicans are angry about what's going on. although some republicans in the state are worried the heavy attacks on the governor and secretary of state could suppress voter turnout. brian, ainsley, steve?

steve: okay. stay tuned for that thank you very much, griff. regarding the secretary of state. griff was talking about the third parties doing their best to register people in advance of the run-off election first week in january. one of the groups is called america votes and thervel apparently sending absentee ballot applications to people at dresses who have not lived there since 1994. they say we're simply using a list we got from the secretary of state. nonetheless, karl rove had this conversation about groups like american votes last night on "the story." >> this is a felony. and if you don't think the republicans are checking the 5,135 new people who voted -- registered to vote after the november 3rd election and before a week ago last friday, you are kidding yourself. they are absolutely checking these registrations. people who came to the state of georgia and are registering to vote there and have no intention of becoming permanent residents as required by state law are going to find themselves in a heap of trouble if they

continue. steve: another group called vote forward attempted to register a dead woman from alabama to vote in the state of georgia. it's tough enough when you are dead to vote but to vote from alabama in georgia is even more spectacular. ainsley: that's what so many people are concerned about. they wanting to make sure that they can trust the election. we want to make sure our vogt counted and the mail-in ballots there there are 23 investigators looking into problems absentee ballots from the last election. claims of people who voted twice. people who were dead when they vote you had. and nonresidents of georgia who voted and now they are telling people to move down to georgia to vote and n. this very important election in about a month. brian: if you are a republican and you hear about 800,000 absentee ballots being gathered or applied for and stacey abrams behind it have you got to be wondering, wait, we are not convinced that georgia went red anyway and now 800,000 requests for absentee ballots on run-off election which usually has a third the interest of the general election?

so, that's why when people like lin wood an esteemed attorney comes out and says hey, republicans show how angry you are by not voting in the senate runoff election is one of the stupidest things i have heard in my life if you are a republican. because so much is at stake the balance of power the committee chairmanship adding states. we know what else they wants to do in terms of packing the court. i also think it's important to bring up, too, that the president of the united states is going to go there saturday. the vice president is going throb today. they expect $250 million in ad buys just for these senate run off elections which are within a point or two of each other in the so-called polls, if you can trust them that have been outlay you had. receive steve president is going to say look, this spartan of my legacy. have you got to make sure that these republicans win. meanwhile republicans are running ads saying look, if either of these seats or both, in particular, go to the democrats, how would you like bernie sanders running the budget committee in the senate?

and that they think is a very poo tent message. ainsley: put saying is he going to run again in four years. is he going to georgia to get out vote. steve: steve his campaign has already raised sings the election $150 million. ainsley: i believe it. brian: rudy giuliani's email comes to me every nine minutes he needs more money to continue to investigate. steve: there you go. a quarter after the top of the hour. thank you for joining us on this tuesday, december 1st. jillian: overnight seattle police make four arrests during a protest on capitol hill. officers witness protesters vandalize an atm and smash windows at starbucks. the twitter account officers hit with bottles and rocks. demonstrators also spray painted messages attacking officers. to extreme weather now. a winter storm makes its way to the great lakes to the appalachians cleveland slammed with snow and wind. georgia already seeing snow in some areas. winds gusts knocking this wind

steve: battle over the census and redistricting in the supreme court. heard oral arguments over president trump's plan tokes includes u.s illegal immigrantsm the census count which determine size of districts. rachel bovard. good morning to you. >> good morning. good to see you. steve: so a lot is on the line regarding the outcome of the census. what the president was saying, essentially, is that if you are in the country illegally, you shouldn't count as a citizen. but, doesn't the census as specified by the constitution it simply looks at residents, people who are living in houses rather than whether they in the

country legally? >> well, what the trump administration is proposing is actually two things for the purpose of districting federal resources they are looking at the entire count. but for the purpose of apportionment, which is drawing congressional districts they are only looking at citizens and past supreme court press dental, frankly franklin v. massachusetts allows the president to make these policy calls. so they're looking at doing this because, obviously, when you draw congressional districts with nonvoters in it, you are diminishing the accountability, the representative element that congressman have toward their voters. they are only elected by voters. they should serve those voters. and that's what the element they are looking at with addressing that apportionment question. steve: you know, rachel, it's hard to, you know, when you look at the tea leaves hard to tell how the justices ultimately will rule. however it, did sound like a number of the justices, including some of the conservatives, were scepght call whether or not the president had such sweeping power when it comes to the census. >> yeah.

there was a lot of discussion on the technicalities yesterday. less on the merits of the question its sufficiently. it does look, you know, justice amy coney barrett raised the issue of well, you know, previous precedent doesn't weigh necessarily in your favor. i think there was a lot of issues of timing. had hard really occurred? were they considering this case too early? it may be that they kicked this issue past the point of when president trump is in office, which would really, you know, harm their case, obviously. steve: right, exactly there was one other case that got our attention in the last 24 hours. the mayor of san jose and the police chief are urging the county santa clara county out in california to change their sanctuary city policies because a man by the name o ferdinand dough jesus lopez. battery of an officer assault with a deadly weapon, apparently he stacked five people at the grace baptist church killing

three and injuring three as well. they look at a case like this and this guy kept coming back. he walls deported a number of times and, yet, we let him. in the county does not cooperate with ice. and now three people are dead with. >> cases like this very clear california has already defunded its police. because sanctuary policies like this that has policies of noncooperation with immigration officials they're removing tools from the hands of police. and it's essentially like if your house is on fire the most can you do is throw a water balloon at it because the city has outlawed the use ofs of hoss makes no sense. and puts people at risk. clear clear clearly the president has made emphasis on sanctuary cities over the last four years. going forward with joe biden, what do you think? >> all signs point to a much looser immigration system under president biden. is he talking about undoing a

host of border controls, including the remain in mexico policy which was the most successful policy under the trump administration at reducing illegal crossings at the border. president biden wants to undo that so that is -- if we look ahead we are looking a lot like the obama years in the next four. steve: the president was also able to get rid of catch and release at the border and the way they enforce the rules but that's probably going to go by the bye, too right? >> i would expect. we haven't seen a lot of specifics from the biden campaign but what we have heard is undoing most of what president trump implemented again reducing border crossings to historic lows and i think that's all going to be undone. steve: sounds lite like a lot will revert to the policies the obama-biden administration had four years ago. >> that's right. steve: thank you for joining us from d.c. >> thank you. steve: meanwhile, straight ahead businesses sounds the alarm in colorado warning if they shut down again they will not reopen.

what adjustments did you make in compliance with what your state wanted. >> we spent thousands of dollars to make big time changes to our business and removed 50% of our seating. brian: you were able to eke out a living and then you find out you are going to be struck down again. now, has politician come down and said here is what i'm up against. what can you do for us? how can we work together? >> no. brian: you would have been open to that right? >> yeah. that's the whole point of why we got together and did, this right, was to kind of give a cry for help so that someone would step in and help us come up with policies that would make more sense. brian: if they want to come in and crack down on you they will be successful. are you going to crack down on 100 small businesses from gyms to retail to bars to restaurants? i hope the answer is no. but they got this power of taking lookalikes and destroy a

business instantly. look at restrictions, take out dining closed curbside delivery allowed. only meet with members of your household. last call on premises. 8:00 p.m. bars must close. when you heard about those restrictions, your thoughts. >> you for us that was really scary. we don't have an outdoor patio. and we are only allowed to use our parking lot for extended patio seating on saturday and sunday that would mean that we would be closed exception for two days a week. that's not enough for us to pay our bills. brian: what does your business mean to you? >> it's everything for us. we don't have another option. brian: what about the people that work for you? >> yeah. that's a big support of why we all decided to do this. i can't look my staff in the face and lay them off again. i refuse to do that right before christmas. we have got one woman that is pregnant and she was in my office crying. i couldn't do that.

brian: how many cases tied back to your restaurant since it reopened? >> none. brian: how frustrated do you feel right now? >> we're incredibly frustrated. the grocery stores are allowed to operate under fewer restrictions than we had before the shutdown. and it's a madhouse when you go in there. and we can't operate with incredibly strict restrictions that feels like a direct attack on small businesses. brian: i wanted you to hear what the governor said. i am sure you heard the statement the governor has great sympathy with every small business wanting to stay open and one. reasons colorado is one of the first states to reopen and avoid a lock down like neighboring states have. also why he called for a special session. wave fees for colorado restaurants and bars. the hard truth is that this is the wors point in the pandemic t our nation has faced yet. go back to bars and restaurants. what about yours? and what's your reaction to that

statement as we close? >> yeah. bars and restaurants are not the main source of this spread. but they are the main -- the brunt of this back the that's not a logical way to go about this. a conversation to better come up with policies that fit for everybody. brian: you elected them to serve you. instead they and looking out for your interest. they are destroying you and now they are going to be destroying 100 businesses together. we will see if there is strength in numbers. i know a lot of states across the country are looking at this wondering how this comes out. morgan, hang in there thanks so much for joining us and telling us your story. >> thank you for having me. brian: you got it meanwhile in a surprise twist some in the media going after joe biden. his team wasn't forthcoming enough about his foot injury. so can we expect more scrutiny from the press and the new administration? media opinion columnist joe concha here next to talk about

forthcoming. >he wasn't asforthcoming as youe would be with the press pool. >> there has already been in some way some tension when we call it a lid or a lid called and then the president-elect biden ended up going somewhere. so essentially the white house was -- i should say the transition wasn't giving reporters the heads that they would need. ainsley: joe, chris cuomo took a different take. listen to him. >> i took a lot of comfort in something pretty small like the size of a pinky toe bone. when biden hurt his foot, i appreciated it, why? because i'm a sadist? no. because we just got the straight truth about it. no lie. no deny. just he was out playing with his dog. why is that a big deal for me? because there was no b.s. there was no blocking us from the reason that trump was rushed to you a hospital. no gazy doctors with these absurd lauding statements about biden being super human, the

strongest pinky toe in history. just the truth. ainsley: didn't he have to come out and tell the truth, joe? he is going to be wearing a foot brace. steve: a boot. >> yeah, very interesting that that comes from chris cuomo the george washington of cable news when it comes to truth. the guy who broke his own quarantine when he was covid-19 positive while still suffering from a fever therefore still shedding the virus traveled 30 minutes from his home and got into a confrontation with a 60-something-year-old guy where a police report had to be filed against him. that's the guy who should be lecturing about truth. andrea mitchell on msnbc was very interesting to see the reaction to her saying that the biden team should have been more transparent. she got eviscerated online by the left for even raising a little bit of criticism around that and it reminds me of when jimmy kimmel i don't know if you remember this during the 2016 campaign and donald trump went on his show and kimmel messed up his hair like a playful moment like we see.

steve: jimmy fallon. >> jimmy fallon. good call, brian. he was basically canceled. brian: he had to apologize. >> how are you normalizing this guy. he apologize you had utterly ridiculous. the bottom line here you have a communication team with biden waiting 24 hours to share what happened with this injury. steve: why wait? >> why wait? that's the thing. when you break your foot. i'm not a doctor but i may know one pretty close to me. when you break your foot immediate pain injury the minute you take a step you feel it. why wait to go to the doctor 24 hours. the bottom line is we just don't know exactly how this happened. the fact that they waited 24 hours is something to see. if this happened with trump and 24 hours was wasted in terms of telling the press and not allow trump enter the facility where is he being treated journalists would run out of soapboxes to scream about press transparency. brian: no fun stories about the president of the united states.

bad didn't deserve it put her by the russians and he will never win another election and of course evidence will be undone do i mueller report and impeachment. it didn't take long, joe biden isn't even president and he got this story from cbs. >> and now some breaking news. president-elect joe biden and his wife jill won't just be bringing their german shepard major and champ to the white house, the bidens tell us exclusively that soon they will be joined by a cat. ainsley: breaking news. brian: fun story, a cat. cat and german shepherds. brian: yeah. dogs and cats living together in mass hysteria i love slate's particular headline tried and truex pressure in presidential vigor. compare that to the "new york times" last year that literally had this headline why president trump hates your dog. that's all you really need to

know. i have no problem with puff pieces actually here and there when it comes to the president. human sides obviously to this as well. they are like the new york jets they took the last four years off and now puff pieces are all the rage. so, yeah, if you were nostalgic for the obama years, you are certainly going to get it. one more point about biden in terms of the way he treats the press and waiting 24 hours here. there was a time during the obama biden administration. this was in the beginning, right? 2009. the press still very friendly to obama. this is at the height of the financial crisis, he is selling obamacare, president obam went t giving a solo press conference. that's a full time pregnancy plus one month. expect more of that with joe biden for the next few years. very few press conferences. very little transparency, guys. brian: i don't think people are going to tolerate it. i think they are going to turn on him. >> i would think so too, brian. because suddenly those book deals are going to go away and all those viral moments of the

press getting into confrontation with the president going away. this only lasts so long before i think you are going to see more andrea mitchells and only people from this network have you got to tell us more. can't just be oh but trump. we will get a lot of but trump the next four years ago as well. steve: joe concha whose wife is an emergency room doctor, joe, thank you for joining us life. >> thank you, guys off to mcdonald's first day of december i can't be any more pleased this this rechesd year is about to be over celebrating with a sausage egg and cheese. steve: mcdonald's is coming out with the mcrib tomorrow. just saying so be forewarned. >> back with it. looking very forward to it. ainsley: it's very messy. steve: have you got to shave your beard off that's part of their promotion. move on to janice dean the weather machine on the first day of december. janice: yes, first day of december and it feels cold. spharls far south as the gulf coast where we have freeze advisories in place.

his on citizen that the secretary of state and do a match of signatures on envelopes? it will be a gold mine of fraud and we will easily win the state. twitter flagged the tweet and governor kemp rejected the president's call georgia law prevents the governor from interfering in elections. this as as secretary of state, a republican as well, brad raffensperger announces 23 investigators are probing more than 250 claims of voter fraud. he did not foresee it likely changing the outcome. and as more than 940,000 absentee ballots have already been requested in the highly anticipated senate runoffs. raffensperger also announced an investigation into four third party outside groups allegedly seeking to influence the vote. >> let me emphasize this again. casting an illegal vote in georgia is a felony. this office will continue to take stepping to protect the voting rights of the legally registered georgians of this

rigged, why should i even bother voting? >> you know, leave it to the campaign to pontificate on the president's strategy. steve: sometimes you are with the campaign so you know the thinking there. >> i do. i'm joining you in my official capacity today from the white house lawn but i will say, this the president has been unapologetic for the last 10 months in saying that mail in voting. mass mail-in voting is subject to fraud. this has been a key part of what he has talked about when it comes to election integrity. he wants to make sure signatures are matched. steve: right. >> the mail-in voting is sacco sank and tweeted with the integrity that every american voter deserves. steve: can't that come back to backfire with this georgia special election? >> no. because the president, again, look, if you go back to when nancy pelosi took the gavel, the very first bill she put in place was hr-1. this was allowing people on voting rolls, illegal immigrants on voting rolls, no signature matching. democrats for years, far before

the 2016 election, the 2020 election, rather, have tried to make our election system less secure. the president is going to continue to fight for that while also saying it's important to turn out and vote while also perfecting the system. ainsley: kelly, respond to this, they put out an article about the female staff. communication staff that biden has selected. they wrote four of the seven top communication roles at the white house will be filled by women of color and it's the first time the entire senior white house communications team will be entirely female. i know that you blasted the paper. some of your staffers did say hey, look at us we are all female. then you had a guy who is one of the staffers who works on your team. i know all the bosses are females. sings i arrived at the trump white house a woman has always been my boss, first hope hix, mercedes schlapp and sarah huckabee sanders and grisham and kayleigh mcenany and elise. i guess the media forgot. his name is judd deere. what's your reaction because they are saying you are lying about it? >> judd deere is a grate member

of our team. every senior role in the white house is a female. this president, out of the five press secretaries that have been women, three of them have been under president trump. he appointed the first working mom in sarah huckabee sanders and appointed another working mom and me with a newborn under the age of 1. consistently empowered women. the double standard in the media is absolutely absurd. if you are a democrat woman who comes into the west wing behind me who takes that podium, your biggest concern outside of your official duties is the next glowing profile written about you. if you are a too mail woman in the republican party who takes that podium, guess what your worry is? having a playboy reporter shout questions at you, demeaning misogynistic questions during a briefing. it's a double standard. one that's ridiculous and one that the white house correspondent's association should look into when you have playboy reporters shouting at women in is i misogyny chauvinistic simply because you are a member of the g.o.p.

brian: operation warp speed we are waiting the planes are ready to go and the vaccine is ready to go. the fda isn't yet. according to axios mark meadows has not to a zoom call and show up in person and explain what the delay is there is a sense they are not working around the clock and that he went to the outer banks to quarantine or vacation when you should be push being the moderna vaccine before the middle of december and pfizer vaccine as of yesterday. i know it's easy to punt on this, but what could you tell us? is there a little bit of tension that maybe the fda is not working as hard as the cdc and others like yourself and the president? >> well, you know, i don't want to talk about the meetings that will be going on today in the west wings but what i will say is, this we are working around the clock. you had monc ef absolutely say a vaccine judicially takes four years and 25 years.

brian: is there a sense that the fda isn't? >> the fda is working around the clock here this is a partnership of everyone wants to see american lives saved from dr. stephen hun to this president. this president will never apologize for putting the fire under these agencies to say yes we want a safe vaccine, absolutely. we also want a fast one because lives are at stake. vaccine by the end of the year can key and paramount and exactly what this president has done to be rapid but safe. steve: right. in the early days the administration said to the governors you know what because different localities have different conditions, everybody should be in charge of things in their own state. some of the governors are talking about more lockdowns or restrictions, i know in rhode island yesterday they sent out a text alert to everybody hey for the next couple of weeks try to stay as close to home as you possibly can how does the administration feel about these new restrictions in various places all across the country because it looks as if right

now, you know, there is something like 41 states that it is spiking in. >> yeah. we're at a different place today. look, we locked down the country once. it's because there it was a novel virus that came in that we did not have therapeutics for. that we did not know how to handle because we didn't have testing it was novel. no one had ever seen covid-19. we know how to handle it now. americans, we are responsible. we know how to wash our hands and socially distance and wear a mask and make wise decisions. but governors should trust their people to make the right decisions. this president is about freedom. is he not about shutting down businesses. he is not about locking down states. and he is certainly not about locking down places of religious worship which the supreme court said it was unconstitutional what governor cuomo was doing there in new york because, yes, we have a pandemic. but we also have a united states constitution and those freedoms matter even amid a pandemic. ainsley: kayleigh i'm reading an article report okay joe manchin

interviewing him he thinks 1.2 trillion is acceptable which is half of his moderate and wants to work with republicans. a woman who owned a restaurants with everywhere earlier in our show she needs to lay off employees can't do it close to christmas. a pregnant woman was in her office crying please don't lay me off. they are not making money because she owns a restaurant. people need help, what's the latest. >> joe manchin needs to have a discussion with nancy pelosi who has been fundamentally unserious in a way that's irresponsible and quite frankly gussing that she resumes the house, puts the house back in session and what are the bills she puts forward? about legalizing marijuana. about going after tiger king and regulating the use of tigers. instead of focusing on the american people and the relief that's needed. her stimulus bill was chock-full of, guess what mail-in voting regulations to try to secure democrat power in the halls of

congress while this president said nancy pelosi you won't negotiate with me? guess what i will do protections from eviction. i will do more funding for unemployment insurance via executive order. he has been serious while nancy pelosi has been derelict in her duties. she does not deserve to be speaker ever again. brian: she almost lost it this time they were within striking distance. mitch mcconnell is putting the heat up on nancy pelosi. there is no reason for them not to have their relief package and joe manchin, senator warner and dick durbin are working with murkowski, rom anything, cassidy and collins to try to get something done. they are trying to get from bottom up leadership to actually act. will the president pick up the phone and get them to act? will he put the pressure on like he always does behind the podium? >> he has continually put the pressure on. i can tell you having had daily discussions with chief of staff mark meadows, the secretary of the treasury, steve mnuchin, they have consistently moved towards nancy pelosi on behalf of the president as his surrogate going towards the

hill. nancy pelosi has been laughablable. she wants this amount of funding to open schools and we give that we give more than that and she rejects it. she has been unserious. so we'll continue to move toward the left but that bipartisan group again needs to put pressure on the radicals aocs of the world and ilhan omars that control nancy pelosi like a marion netted puntd. ainsley: i thought it was kind of the president to reach out to joe biden on twitter and say look i wish you the best and hope you get well son. soon. some were questioning whether he was sincere. what was your reaction? what is the president's reaction. >> the president was being sincere. we are one country. we all have our parties. at the end of the day we are all-american. that's what this president understands. leave it to the media to continually take him out of context. think the worse of him. it's just what they do and we are used to that here in the trump administration. steve: all right, kayleigh, thank you for joining us on the north lawn on this first day of december.

resident been in new york for a full years. i know how the left operates across the country. i was a community organizer for them. and what i know is that if you are a woman and do you not conform, like if you are a conservative woman, the sexism glows out of the left like a volcano. my first book was about the sexism, racism and homophobia on the left. and for conservative women, in particular women who support donald trump, and this is the irony. all the screaming about donald trump and his morality or how he treats people and the left abuses women if they don't conform to the liberal framework. and that's the very good example because a lot of times people don't see it. and, of course, it's manifesting as ignoring -- this is the other thing, women do not work. women are treated horribly if they don't behave in a way thought left expects them to behave. if you are pro-life.

if you -- you know, are a republican or just simply are not a democrat. if you are in hollywood and you don't conform by condemning someone like harvey weinstein, do you not work. if you don't put out, you do not work in that hollywood. so, she knows, we all know that this is a big difference and, of course, conservative women, i think, are made stronger by it because they're answerable to regular people as opposed to hollywood and the left. ainsley: when we introduced to you we said you used to live in california. you were just talking about that. let me tell you about a story that's happening in l.a. the county supervisor sheila kohl was warning about the dangers of dining outdoors so they banned outdoor shy said it's a health emergency. servers are not protected from us and other tables that they're serving at the particular time plus all the hours in which they

are working few hours after voting against outdoor dining she dined outdoors. i dined on the very last day it was permissible. she loves il forno this is her spokesperson sad to see it like so many restaurants suffer from a decline in rev. she will not dine there again until public health orders. so mad at her for the hypocrisy. what do you say? >> look, what is it so that covid will only get you the day after the order goes into effect? >> this is why why are looking at arbitrary decisions. we all want to take this seriously we care about ourselves and family. i don't know how humanity survives more millennia without the democrats telling us what to do but we did because we want to live. we want to see the future. this is a classic hypocrisy. it's just like gavin newsom in california, right?

locking down restaurants, telling people you can't go out without a mask or in to a restaurant. and the next thing we know he is at the french laundry in norton, california having his big party with people who are unmasked, lobbyists for the medical community in california. and he waltzes around the same thing. it's not just there it's across the country with the democrats. they believe that they are better than everyone else. you saw the contempt throughout this last campaign. you just were taking about kayleigh mcenany. you see the contempt for people that they think they are overseers of. their rules don't apply to them. and i think that california has a breaking point at one point. i was involved in the recall of gray davis, the governor. californians need to begin to decide when enough is enough. and i know there is a recall effort against gavin newsom. but my goodness, what more does everyone, all the liberals, all the democrats, all the activists what more when you are doing it because you believe in the issues. and you have got hypocrites and

liars like this ruling over you, who will never really follow the rules. they are never for them. all of us deserve better. we are experiencing that through this latest election dynamic that we are willing to fight for what we believe in and california should do the same thing. ainsley: tammy, thank you so much. good to see you. coming up. >> my pleasure. ainsley: urging doctors to come out of retirement and into the covid-19 wards. our next guest calls it down right disturbing. dr. marc siegel is going to join us after this. ♪ ♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list sales event. sign and drive off in a new lincoln with zero down, zero due at signing, and a complimentary first month's payment.

brian: all right. new york democratic leaders giving themselves high praise while shaming other states for their handling of the coronavirus pandemic. >> you play politics with this virus and you lost. we have had a lot of success making new york city healthier. we got to really stick to that plan. >> it's going to be the states that denied covid that are now going to be paying the highest price. brian: really? now governor andrew cuomo is asking doctors to come out of retirement and nurses to help with the soaring covid-19 hospitalizations across the state. as he warns another lockdown is possible. what about those high fives? here to react is fox news medical contributedder and

author of covid, the politics of fear and the power of science, dr. marc siegel. dr. siegel, that's something. you write a book on how you beat the pandemic and the pandemic came back from a doctor's perspective, you could be saying i told you so, right? >> no. exactly, brian. the governor, of course, is posturing here. i think he is get ready for another book himself. and he is saying the grinch, well, the grinch is him, right? in other words, he is trying to take away the christmas spirit. and if you think people in the area of new york don't know already, not to go to small gatherings and wear a mask, what is all of this government super imposition about? and where was he in march with all of this? flex in surge, increased hospital capacity by 50%. guess what, brian, we are already doing that the hospitals in new york already have plans in place. we don't need the posturing here from the governor. brian: so, dr. siegel, it's coming back when you shut a city down and destroy it. it's coming back when you let

people make their own decisions like in florida. and it's coming back in europe where they were so strict and they had this great summer it came roaring back in the fall. what are we learning about this? >> i'm cerpgd about, again, the lessons we are not learning. you already said them. when you lock down a city, do you know what happens? people can't go out. do you know what they do? they spread it internally. not to mention the economic devastation. right now in buffalo, new york, where i went to medical school, they have already canceled all elective surgeries in advance of the surge. but you know what that means? that means people with cancer. people with heart disease that. are not getting the procedures they need. and then the governor is talking about bringing back, brian, retired people to work on the wards? excuse me, i like the sentiment of that but guess hot high risk groupings are in the older retired people. so they are going to get covid and end up in the hospitals

themselves. government policy needs to be thought out and not some super imposed oversight that makes people noncompliant. governor, message in a way where people believe what you are saying. brian: over the weekend the vice president who might be the next president joe biden we find out a day later he was playing with his german shepard and broke h e his foot. >> may be in a boot for six weeks. may be off by inauguration maybe not. do you know what disturbs me all this talk how he is transparent and president trump wasn't. all this fawning over a foot fracture. excuse me, i talked to president trump right after he had covid he said right to me on camera, i had a haziness on my cat scan in the lungs. i took the regeneron product. i got better. he couldn't have been more transparent and crystal clear about covid. so what's this all this talk about president trump not being transparence on his health issues. he was unbelievably transparent

and all this fawning over a foot. i think i'm going to have a lot of work coming up, brian, every time he gets a hang nail biden i'm going to be called, in right? brian: i guess so. the president was right when he said get the kids back in school. the risks are so minimal they need to go back to school. now dr. fauci goes you know what? i'm looking at the data the kids should be in school. china lied about how the virus started and weren't transparent about what the results were and how many fatalities they h who said that? the president every day from january until today. unbelievable. dr. siegel, it's all in your book. >> why would we believe china? brian, why would we ever believe china on covid? why would we ever? they lied from the beginning. they hid the initial case and it was probably months before that? how come we started listening to them? never. brian: we were listening, cnn wasn't listening until the election was over. thanks, dr. siegel. >> exactly. brian: you got it. lawmakers in washington have just weeks to reach a covid-19

relief bill. can they get it done? we are going to ask congresswoman elise stefanik next. introducing voltaren arthritis pain gel. the first full prescription strength non-steroidal anti-inflammatory gel... available over the counter. voltaren is powerful arthritis pain relief in a gel. voltaren. the joy of movement.

i could have ever made if ththen i'm not a real potato reciidaho potato farmer.shes, genuine idaho potatoes not just a side dish anymore. always look for the grown in idaho seal. >> close the bars and keep the schools open is what we really say. if you look at the data, the spread among children and from children is not really very big at all. not like one would have suspected.

so let's try to get the kids back. brian: unbelievable it's maddening. dr. anthony fauci urging schoolings to reopen. the same push outgoing white house adviser dr. scott atlas said in the winter called for months ago with a very different reaction. listen. >> children have virtually zero risk of getting a serious complication. virtually zero risk of dying. you don't lock down the children because you are personally afraid. >> the president and his administration are messing with the health of our children. going back to school is -- presents the biggest risk for the spread of the coronavirus. steve: well now apparently that's not true. here with reaction new york republican congresswoman elise stefanik. congresswoman, good morning to you. >> good to be with you. steve: you know, so there you have speaker pelosi saying going back to school represents the biggest risk for the spread of the coronavirus. not true, we know now. but back then politically, had

they kept the schools open, you know, that would have helped reopen the economy much faster. >> absolutely. it's very concerning the media has been picking who they want to listen to and who they want to ri ridridicule. we know from earlier this year when schools were shut down we saw increases in child abuse cases. we saw increases in domestic violence. and we also saw decreases in students testing results. we need to ensure our kids are safely learning in person. we have learned a lot about what works and most importantly what doesn't work when it comes to remote learning. in my district, we are continuing to work with superintendents, principals, teachers, parents, to make sure kids can safely learn in school. it really highlights the double standard in the media. they continue to praise everything dr. fauci says, even if it's the same thing that health experts like dr. atlas said earlier this year.

ainsley: let's talk about the coronavirus relief package the next one some businesses need that money. mitch mcconnell is putting pressure on nancy pelosi, listen to this. >> there is no reason, none, why we should not deliver another major pandemic relief package because the house gambled that if american families didn't get any more relief before the election party would expand the majority in the house. but there all or nothing obstruction backfired. there is only one remaining question for the speaker and the democratic leader. will they finally let congress pass hundreds of billions of dollars of relief on all the subjects where we agree? ainsley: even joe manchin said he is willing to work with republicans. he thinks 1.2 trillion is acceptable which is half of what his party was pushing. what's going on in the house? >> i think mitch is exactly right. speaker pelosi has walked away again and again and again from negotiations. there are a number of provisions that we agree on, for example, additional aid to small

businesses who are continuing to suffer, particularly as we head into this holiday and retail season. direct support for k through 12 schools. that legislation would be signed into law today or yesterday if speaker pelosi would negotiate in good faith. instead she played politics leading up tout election. and she lost. she lost every single toss-up seat in the country. republicans from picked up numerous seats. we are continuing to pick them up with the iowa house seat and a california house seat. she is losing her leverage by the day. and i think the reality is if she can get her votes for speaker, which is still an open question, she is controlled by the far left and aoc. so she is going to have to go to them to get their approval. i'm working with leader mcconnell and my colleagues in the house who continue to pressure pelosi to get back to the table on behalf of the american people and deliver that important aid for our small businesses, our families, our schools, and our hospitals. brian: congresswoman, she was getting pressure from moderates in her own party to get this done. they had a better sense of the

electorate than she did, obviously. she fell flat on her face. she says see was going to widen her margin. shocked everyone including the cooke report. the liable protection the dems don't want it. how do you expect a company to vote to bring their people back if they're going to get sued if one person gets it and state and local government fund something going to be key the democrats want and republicans have not been for. so we'll see if you do things the way we do in life. you negotiate it whether you are buying a house or buying a car. what about this brawl that's going on on the -- between the house and senate among democrats? you got joe manchin who evidently is in a little war with aoc, your new york colleague. he says -- he said. this he thinks -- he said this about moderates. he says i think we have a golden opportunity to bring the country back together and for us to work in middle. i will tell you the reason why. the numbers are so close to what the democrats house members lost for nancy pelosi she is going to have to work with people that so a moderate view than some of the -- than some people that

have pushed her from the left. and, she is going back and forth with aoc on this and that he said that aoc doesn't push any legislation. all she does is push her twitter account. what's your reaction to that? is that just spitting into the wind or could you guys actually be negotiating in the house? >> well, we are negotiating. the people who aren't negotiating are the far left and, frankly, nancy pelosi as speaker of the house. she has walked away from numerous negotiations. and because her margin is so slim, brian, she is going to have to go and say mother may i to any bill she brings to the floor. she has to ask the squad and by that i mean far left progressives like aoc, ilhan omar, rashida tlaib and that's not reflective of the american people particularly after this electoral loss that democrats face. they ran on far left platforms such as defunding the police. such as shut downs. and that didn't resonate with the american people which is why republicans did so well despite what polsters and despite what

cooke political report said. so while joe manchin is right that it's an opportunity, i am very concerned that speaker pelosi is going to continue being the most liberal speaker that this country has ever seen and the country deserves better than that they deserve a covid relief bill, we are ready to work. we are ready to work with the senate. it's just speaker pelosi. even joe biden has asked speaker pelosi to deliver a bill. that's an interesting question over whether speaker pelosi is going to work with joe biden or continue to focus on getting her speaker vote which means she needs the progressive far left. steve: that's a great question. congresswoman, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. steve: all right. straight ahead on this tuesday, seven time nascar cup champ jimmie johnson are teaming up with the american legion to support our military on this giving tuesday. jimmie joins us live next. there he is. to tell us how you can help vets and their families. good morning, sir, you are next.

georgia law prohibiteds the governor from interfering in elections and this as secretary of state also a republican yesterday announced an investigation into more than 250 claims of voter fraud, and though he was doubtful it would change the outcome of the election, and as more than 940,000 absentee ballots have already been requested in the senate runoff, rathensburger launched an investigation into four outside groups seeking to influence the vote. >> these third party groups have a responsibility to not encourage the illegal voting. if they do so, they will be held responsible. griff: among rathensburger's accusations registering a dead woman in alabama, sitting registration forms out of state and encouraging college students to temporarily change their residency and the groups deny any wrongdoing and casting an illegal vote in georgia is a felony, meanwhile vice president

pence heads down to georgia on friday ahead of the president's visit on saturday and a lot of the republicans in the state are worriesed the attacks to suppress voter turnout and suppress republicans control of the senate we'll see what happens brian, ainsley, steve? steve: the governor might not show up at the airport to greet the president just saying. brian: president doesn't want him to i don't think. ainsley: i just hope they get to the bottom of this because they have 23 investigators on their team in georgia looking into as he was saying absentee ballots claims of people who voted twice, people who cast ballots of dead people, non- residents of georgia who voted and he said they're a felony and i hope they catch these individuals to prove a point you can not do this and get away with it. brian: you got a senate election coming up. ainsley: so important. brian: get this right at least find out who the right winner is meanwhile let's talk about what we really need to be talking about, that is the lockout. they want to talk about a lockdown because that is not a politically beneficial term, but they are basically locking down all these governors each and every one of their businesses

and their individuals. stay-at-home orders are coming down the pike because the covid-19 numbers are going up, i get it, but you have to find a way in congress to prop up people who are giving up their livelihoods. the money has just stopped because there's been a stalemate on capitol hill, and because both these guys will not negotiate with each other they want to blame president trump so pulled himself out and said talk to each other still no good. mitch mcconnell says time to help out. listen. >> there's no reason, none, why we should not deliver another major pandemic relief package. speaker of the house spent the entire summer and the entire autumn literally gambling with the health and welfare of the american people. she gambled that if american families didn't get anymore relief before the election, her party would expand its majority in the house but their all-or-nothing obstruction backfired and there's only one remaining question for the speaker and the

democratic leader. will they finally let congress pass hundreds of billions of dollars of relief on all the subjects where we are degree brian: and you are not showing benevelence in my view and there's a downside to it and that is when you shutdown businesses what you do is you lengthen the lines for people lining up for food, and for food stamps, maybe for the first time in their lives because you wouldn't allow them to have responsibility in their bars, restaurants, gyms but you can go to walmart and target. in terms of helping people out, 80% of the businesses aren't coming back in new york. and in colorado today, two hours ago, i talked to a bar owner, restaurant owner, that teamed with 98 others to say we are not shutting down in colorado, because i shut down once and it almost destroyed me and if i shutdown again i'm done for good and in america we go down fighting. they know how to do it responsibly there was nothing traced back to their place and still they threatened to take their liquor license away, what

they are negotiating is liability protection and they want to be able to tell businesses you can bring people back and state and local government funding is what democrats want, republicans think writing a blank check to all these states is not feasible , plausible, or is smart. steve: because that is what the democrats in big cities like the one we're sitting in, mayor deblasio, that's what he wants. he says essentially look i'm going to reopen the schools but we'll need funding from washington. right now, the republicans and democrats are opposed in their approach because the republicans are trying to get the money to the people, and the democrats are trying to get the money to the people, plus to bail out the states and the local governments as well. we had congresswoman elise stefanik on a little while ago and she is upset that members of the house essentially have walked away from serious negotiations with members of the senate. listen. >> speaker pelosi has walked away again and again and again

from negotiations. there are a number of provisions that we agree on, for example, additional aid to small businesses who are continuing to suffer, particularly as we head into this holiday and retail season. direct support for k-12 schools , that legislation be signed into law today or yesterday if speaker pelosi would negotiate in good faith. instead she plays politics leading up to the election and she lost. i'm working with leader mcconnell and my colleagues in the house who continue to pressure pelosi to get back to the table on behalf of the american people and deliver that important aid for our small businesses, our families, our schools and our hospitals. steve: and that's the question. why won't she do that? and that's why a lot of people are scratching their heads. ultimately right now, what's going on with the pandemic is, and we don't know exactly how many people may have been infect ed over the thanksgiving holiday weekend but the number of cases in our hospitals is going through the roof in 41 states it's going up. i read a great survey, and they

looked at the scientific data in my home state of kansas. in the month of july, they had a statewide mandate for masks. now the problem with kansas was some counties would actually enforce it and other counties would not. in the counties that enforced the mask mandate, the number of cases of coronavirus actually went way down, and in the counties where they did not enforce the mask mandate, it went way up. ainsley: really? you just have to do it smartly and safely. steve: it means, apparently, masks work. ainsley: 4 million u.s. cases in the month of november alone that's a third of the total number of coronavirus cases in the u.s. since this pandemic began. all right, this morning, another big election win for republicans in the house. brian: congressman mike garcia keeping the seat he flipped in a special election last may defeating democrat christy smith

and officially giving back the gop, four of the seven seats they lost in 2018. steve: joining us right now is congressman mike garcia. mike, good morning to you. >> good morning guys thanks for having me. steve: congratulations. you didn't know until yesterday officially. what do you think is going on, because there was no blue wave. it was more of kind of a blue undertow in many instances. >> many of us watching closely actually saw this coming. this has been a red recovery in some ways a renaissance of conservative values and it did start in california, you know, with our special election back in may, that was the first time that a republican recovered a democrat-held seat at the congressional level since 1998 so 22 years of history in the making, and we're able to pull this off, we're able to keep this seat it was a little tighter but very proud of my team and especially the 500 volunteers that made this happen ainsley: i know it was neck-in-

neck, christy smith got 49.95%, and i know its been a grueling last few months for you , and here we are a month after election day, and you're just finding out that you won. this has been a great year for house republicans. what does this mean in two years , do you think republicans will take back the house? >> yeah, absolutely. i was a little disappointed we weren't able to get it across the goal line but we are within striking distance a few seats away. this means that nancy pelosi, while she'll be able to run the agenda on the floor she won't be actually running the floor. she's going to have to negotiate in good faith and there will be moderates from the left side of the aisle that come to our side and break our way and get meaningful legislation done so this is a big deal. we are on a trajectory to get the majority back in the next cycle and i'm looking forward to being a part of that as well. brian: congressman we're seeing laboratory of liberal policies in action. you give them the power and do you know what you got? you have states, excuse me, cities going bankrupt, homeless out of control, illegal

immigrants pouring across-the-boarder, and compassion is allowing them to stay in sanctuary cities so you got what you wanted. congratulations. now, try to save it. with what? higher taxes. what people are doing is leaving your great state, so is that the best calling card for republicans and is there an organization underneath to at least get the people of californian alternative on the state level? >> yeah that's right and what you described is old news in california. we've been experiencing that for going over probably 10-15 years now and that's why i ran frankly. i was seeing things happen at the national level that started to look a lot like california that scared the hell out of me. i don't want my country to become what california has become and i do believe that especially in california, we don't have to hit rock bottom. we're going to get lower level seats at the state legislative levels and get the majority in the house and make this country what it's supposed to be which is what we all deserve and that's to be the greatest nation that this planet has ever seen. a lot of broken policies, but

more importantly, a lot of broken politicians coming out of california and that's why i'm here. steve: you know, a lot of people are not familiar with your background. i know you're a navy vet. tell us a little more about your story, sir. >> yeah, so i was a navy f-18 pilot, flew combat missions off of aircraft carriers if you've seen the movie top gun that was my life. steve: that was you? >> i had a blessed job. not actually that guy, but the real one, so that's what i did for a living best job in the world it was an honor to serve my country and that's what i've taken up here. i've been an executive now since leaving the navy for the last 12 years i had no aspirations of becoming a politician or running for office until i started seeing what was happening and in my district we were unfortunate to be represented by our representative katie hill at the time and for me it was a bridge too far. i wasn't able to just sit on the sidelines and watch it happen so i ran as a patriot and i'm now serving as a citizen legislator and doing what's right for the country and like i said making sure that our

beautiful country doesn't become what california has become. it's a great state. great weather. beautiful people. a lot of opportunity but the politicians in sacramento have absolutely killed our state and i don't want that to happen to our country. ainsley: so many people feel the same way you do thank you for your service we wish you all best in washington. >> thank you, ainsley, guys. ainsley: let's hand it over to jillian with headlines, pretty in pink. jillian: let's begin with extreme weather right now, a storm makes its way from the great lakes, parts of ohio could see more than 15 inches of snow. even georgia getting its first taste of winter as temperatures dropped on the east coast, wind gusts knocking this tree branch on to a massachusetts home and ripping the siding off this building in boston. no injuries were reported. >> newly-leaked documents about how china mishandled the pandemic. the documents obtained by cnn show the country under- reported cases and deaths and it took on average 23 days to get test results and the

documents also reveal a difference between what official s knew at the start of the outbreak and what they publicly reported. china's government claims its been transparent. >> over 186,000 firearm background checks were performed on black friday this year, making it the fourth-highest single day total on record. the number of background checks from january to october of this year alone was 13% more checks than the previous busiest year for the nics office. >> and the seattle seahawks are high on monday night football, watch. >> rushing four, they do bring the extra man this time on third and 13, and wilson will take a shot and he's got it. jillian: quarterback russel wilson throwing for 230-yards in seattle's 23-17 win over the philadelphia eagles and the win leaves them at the top of the nfc west meanwhile in af k north matchup is getting delayed for a third time and they are postponing the steelers

including both practices and competitions and inclusive of all risk levels set fourth by department of health are being placed on a full and complete pause for january 2, 2021. the only exceptions are for collegiate level and professional teams. steve: you got new jersey governor phil murphy cracking down on indoor sports in his state including swimming, with new restrictions going into effect this saturday as you just heard. this , as a new survey finds absolutely not one covid infection at 44 different new jersey indoor pool facilities since july 2. andy moss and jerry sing compete with the summerset hills ymca swim team, they join us now guys good morning to you. hi, good morning thank you so much for having us. steve: it's good to have you so andy let's start with you. i don't quite understand what the governor is doing. he's closing down your pool even

though there's been absolutely not one case traced back to the pool. >> yeah, we were definitely disappointed in the news; however we know that the pandemic is super serious and especially given the rise in cases, it's more important now than ever to take the precautions and the guideline seriously; however we know that back over the summer, when we opened up our petition, we were back from the science from the cdc that said that chlorine kills corona and based off that we were able to open up the pools and follow the guidelines and all season up to this pint point, our y coaches, fellow swimmers have done a terrific job keeping us healthy and safe and with the given study showing there were no reported cases across the 44 pools in new jersey. we feel like we've earned the right. we have evidence, we've proven ourselves that we can train in a safe manner. steve: and the two of you guys were on this program in may talking about how safe it really

was. you started a petition, you had 18,000 signatures and you've gotten even more since then. jerry tell us a little bit about how the coaches make sure that you're safe when you're competing and when you're even practicing. >> yeah, so our coaches and our organization has been working very hard to ensure that every swimmer and every athlete is safe during our practices and meets, so every day before practice, we have to fill out a questionnaire on an app called team snap and then when we get to the pool we have our mask s on and we get our temperatures taken before we enter the pool. then, during practices, we are socially distanced we put our bags and our equipment in a designated area that's six feet apart from other people, and during meets, we all wear masks until we race, so we have our masks on until we get to the blocks and then we put it in a little plastic bag and put it in a bin behind the blocks and then we dive in and swim our event

and after we get out of the pool , we put our mask back on and we do our normal warmdown procedures. steve: yeah, well it certainly sounds like you're doing everything safely, so andy, before you go, there's a possibility the governor could actually be watching this. what's your message to him about given the precautions you're taking and the fact there have been zero infections traced back to indoor swimming in new jersey at these pools, what's your message to governor murphy? >> as you know, and as we all know, the top priority obviously is safety. steve: of course. >> everyone knows how important it is to follow the science and we have the science. the cdc knows that chlorine kills the virus. usa swimming put out very strict guidelines that our pool at the y and all of the other pools in new jersey and i'm sure across the country are following extremely strictly and given this study and given how routine and disciplined we've been at

our y, we know that if we follow the science, and if we continue to follow the science, we can and should get back to training in a safe way. steve: jerry is there anything you'd like to add to the governor? >> yeah, we obviously already said safety is number one priority and we have showed swimmers are disciplined and very focused athletes who will train and follow safety procedures to make sure that our sport is continuing in the future and this is very important, this is a big part of our lives, and many of us are swimming looking forward to swimming in college and we are trying to get times that will be very crucial for the recruiting process, so this is a very big part of our lives, and we're ensuring that we can do anything to keep the sport going. steve: indeed. i get it. but just the fact there have been zero infections and you do think safely, it's got to be frustrating andy moss and jerry

zheng, we thank you both for joining us from out in new jersey. good luck. >> thank you. steve: it is 8:25 here in new york city now. one of joe biden's most recent cabinet picks taking heat from both republicans and the far left. rob smith breaks down democrats latest and we'll talk about whom , next. it's here! caspers black friday sale has up to 30% off with our best offer ever save on supportive mattresses, soft percale sheets, even our glow light for better sleep. shop the black friday sale and save up to 30% today at casper.com some things are good to know. like where to find the cheapest gas in town and which supermarket gives you the most

brian: joe biden had the omb, and that's not sitting well with many progressives including former bernie sanders staffers. bernie's former national press secretary telling i don't know anyone personally in bernie world who was happy about this choice talking about a woman who is assaulting bernie sanders campaign manager and here to react is host of the rob smith is problematic podcast, and rob as we see these names, her nomination has outraged conservatives and socialists. why? >> yes, you know, i love bipartisanship in this case both the left and the right coming together in absolute despise and

listen, the thing going on right now is that the liberals are saying she's an anthropology embodiment of what they call the democratic party and conservatives are rightly saying she's a typical tax and spin big -government liberal and i think they are both right but also what's very interesting to me is that you brought up bernie sanders press secretary earlier. she called the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the corporate democratic party. and that is actually saying a lot, and also, you know, she's a twitter troll, she pushed the steele dossier and what's going on here is that there is a very far left component that is not having a lot of power what it looks like in this potential biden administration so they are going tok stomp their feet and talk on twitter but they don't seem to have a lot of influence in the picks we've been seeing in this potential biden administration and i think that it really says something about the lack of access that the squad and aoc and the far

left progressives are going to have. brian: she's had negative things to say back in 2015 saying even hillary clinton will look good in comparison basically to him and he hires him anyway, so we'll see how that goes through the confirmation process we'll see if she gets through i don't even know if she's good at math shouldn't that matter she's a lawyer, so now let's go to black lives matter and people understand towards the sentiment but the organization is ripe with problems including members of the own organization having a problem with it turns out the local chapters are not getting any of the dollars that are pouring into those who want to donate to black lives matter and here is a statement from the 10 local blm chapters here is a quote. since the establishment of black lives matter global network our chapters have consistently raised concerns about financial transparency, decision-making, accountability, despite years of effort, no acceptable internal process of accountability has ever been produced. you know, it turns out they're not getting any of the money.

>> yeah, you know, look. a lot of black conservatives like myself and a lot of other people we got blasted earlier this summer when blm inc became this big thing and we knew exactly what it was and when you've been around the block a couple times you see what happens with these large organizations. black lives matter inc has gotten billions of dollars in corporate donations, they got money from i think bank of america, the nba was spreading out the logo on all that stuff and what it was, the entire time , was it was a couple of people at the top that are making a lot of money exploiting brain dead white liberals and telling black americans and having them believe the lie that racism and police brutality is the biggest factor in their lives, and what we're seeing right now and what some of the people that are doing the work on the ground are see ing is that it was all a joke this was about enriching a lot of people at the very top or a few people at the very top, at the expense of exploiting the pain and suffering of black

americans and it's unfortunate to see but i think that we're going to see a lot more of this stuff as more people get clued into the blm inc agenda. brian: the whole thing and the big picture is people thought do you know what? the times up foundation with oprah there and said i'm going to give money because they have a daughter, they have a mom or somebody and their sister and it was time for women to be able to breakthrough. turns out none of the money was going to anybody. maybe $200,000, rest goes to management. then you see the george floyd and you think i want to help. how do i help? well write a check. use pay pal. and then you find out that none of the moneys getting to the people that need it most and it's discouraging for organizations that really do want to help. final thought? >> final thought is i mean, you're absolutely right. like look, blm inc is basically what we're finding out right now it's basically helping benefit a couple of people at the top at the expense of the mental anguish of so many black americans that really buy into

the nonsense and i think it's really unfortunate but it's a good thing if more people are waking up to this. brian: rob, thanks so much appreciate the perspective. meanwhile, black lives matter global network we reached out to them. they did not respond to us we'll let you know if they do. meanwhile joe biden praised by the media for assembling an all -female senior communications team, i'll pause. >> the first time in history, either party has ever put forward this all-female leadership team. >> and this is a first, history -making. >> unexpected and expect to see a lot more diversity. brian: wow but many will take over for women who work there before them for this man named president trump. former white house press secretary sarah sanders, also a woman who worked in the press. she'll talk to us. if these beautiful idaho potato recipes are just side dishes,

>> the first time in history, either party has ever put forward this all-at the mail leadership team. >> an all female communications team senior communications team, this is a first history-making. these roles which are typically held by men a lot of the time, it's just nothing is going to be traditional in this white house, expect the unexpected and expect to see a lot more diversity. ainsley: let's bring in sarah sanders fox news contributor former white house press sec and author of the book "speaking for

myself" good morning. >> good morning. ainsley: so where was the praise when president trump appoint all these women, you, stephanie gris ham, kayleigh mcenany, where was the praise then? >> you know, that's something i've often wondered. look i was the very first mom to ever serve as the white house press secretary, and instead of all the praise that they're laughing on to these appointment s, we got actually attacked relentlessly by the media. president trump not only empowered me but he empowered other women to very a number of senior roles in the administration working moms and he didn't get praised for it he got attacked for it and so did we. i've often said and i'll continue to say it. democrats always want to talk about the war on women, but the real war being waged against women is by democrats and the media that attack conservative women and anybody who has supported this president

it is absolutely outrageous and the media bias is on full display and i think it is absolutely absurd and sad what they're doing and i think what we can expect them to continue to do unfortunately. brian: so you don't think any of these women will have trouble eating in a restaurant or dropping their kids off at school, sarah? you don't think any of the women will need i hope secret service protection like you? >> my guess is they'll all be, you know, given softball questions and praised for the fact that they showed up for work. again, not only was i the first mom, but the other two press secretaries that followed me were also moms. this is a president who has empowered women and empowered working moms in his administration and actually put forward policies that helped women across the country do better. we saw more women going back to work, we saw more women taking on bigger roles and jobs across the country under this administration. he never got praised for it and i think it is absolutely

outrageous that this is taking place. steve: yeah, sarah, what did you make of the fact, speaking of press teams, the biden press team announced yesterday that apparently, on saturday, the former vice president, president-elect broke part of his foot playing with his dog, they said, but he didn't go to the hospital or didn't go to the doctor for the scans and stuff until a day later, and we were talking to joe concha a little while ago about how some msnbc reporters say that the biden team wasn't as forthcoming as they should have been. what do you make of the transparency there? >> well, my guess is they'll give him a free pass like they've done on everything else during the campaign over the last year and a half. they don't push for questions, we saw them celebrating a group of journalists in the press pool celebrating that they got donald trump to answer a question. he's the most accessible president in u.s. history. getting him to answer a question is not a heroic feet, but

getting joe biden to answer a question be. i hope that they will push him, hold him accountable and ask him real questions and do that of his team around him over the coming weeks and certainly, at least try to put some of the pressure that they constantly put on this president day in and day out. ainsley: let's talk about the divide and the democratic party. remember when aoc posted that picture of her giving the death stare to joe manchin from behind. steve: that one? ainsley: that's the picture she posted that on november 12 and joe manchin was interviewed working on the coronavirus relief package and was interview ed and he talked about the numbers are so close he said there's a point where i was wondering if questioning myself should i even be a lawmaker and should i get out and he said now he's happy that they are more ce ntrists in the democratic party and he feels like he can work with the republicans like

mitt romney and susan collins and lisa murkowski and he said this to the reporter talking about aoc, i guess she put the dagger stare on me i don't know the young lady, i never met her, she's not that active with her bills or in-committee and she's more active on twitter than anything else. is that true? is that the rumor in d.c. or actuality in d.c.? >> certainly, i think that that's the belief of a lot, but what joe biden mansion may not know and i think the really big takeaway here is aoc is actually controlling a large base of the democrat party. they have moved so far to the left. that is the future of who the democrat party is, and that's the direction that they have decided to go, and one of the main stickier heads that they decided will represent their party whether he likes it or not, aoc represents where their party is right now and that is the far radical left. the democrats, like joe biden and others, have shown they are

either too weak or too in capable of standing up to that far left of their party and will continue to cave to them day after day as they have over the last year and a half. brian: maybe if he comes out of that reality he'll become a republican and make everybody in west virginia happy because the president won by like 100,000 points in west virginia. sarah sanders thanks so much. >> thank you for having me. brian: all right, not only do i get to say goodbye to sarah i get to say hello to janice, hi, janice dean, you have the weather map behind you. >> janice: i do and i'm getting so many tweets saying it is freezing this morning, janice dean. what can you do about it? i mean, we've got freeze warnings all along the gulf coast into florida look at some of these temperatures, 32 in houston, i mean it's colder down south than it is in new york city. that's kind of a rare where it's 52 in new york city, that cold air has plunged southward along the gulf coast, and in towards the sunshine state. we have a winter storm that continues to move over the great lakes, the ohio valley, parts of

the interior northeast today. that will exit thankfully we'll bring those temperatures down a little bit although freeze warnings are going to be in place tomorrow for the deep south and parts of the gulf coast still winter weather advisory throughout the day today as that system continues to move eastward, then our next system moves in across the plane s states and that brings snow across the southern states including oklahoma and texas the rest of today's forecast looks pretty good but bundle up if you're down south it's chilly, 20s and 30s back to you steve, ainsley and brian. steve: it is indeed, j. d., thank you very much. kentucky bourbon, maker's mark is epidemic hadding the restaurant community this giving tuesday. one bottle of bourbon at a time, america's together on fox & friends. that's why td ameritrade designed a first-of-its-kind, personalized education center. oh. their award-winning content is tailored to fit your investing goals and interests.

following and now the kentucky distillery is giving back to restaurant workers donating all the proceeds of this limited edition community batch of bourbon to the struggling hospitality community. rob samuels is the chief distillery officer at maker's mark grandparents founded the business and he joins us along with chef edward lee from the lee initiative which teamed up with maker's mark to establish the restaurant worker 's relief program. hey, guys. >> hi. ainsley: hi. rob, nice to see both of you. rob how did you come up with this idea? >> i'll tell you, we treasure the close relationships with our hospitality partners and the idea for the community batch in many ways was created by this hospitality community that's suffering and what should we be doing to give back to the community, so in partnership with chef edward lee and the maker's mark team we're just delighted that the proceeds from all 7,500 bottles of the community batch will benefit

the lee initiative and serve the hospitality industry who for many years have served us. ainsley: that is so nice. >> i'm pretty confident it'll be a delicious way to give back. ainsley: you make a donation and while supplies last you get that free bottle. chef lee tell us about what's happening in the hospitality industry and how you're deciding who gets this money. >> well, so, i'm sure you know that restaurant industry has been just completely destroyed and for us, we can't decide. every city needs help. everywhere is struggling, so we're really trying to focus on restaurant workers, really the people who are the backbone of our industry, the people on unemployment right now we're trying to just have them make sure that they know that they're heard and seen that we're taking care of them and providing them with free meals everywhere from louisville kentucky to chicago to seattle, new york, d.c.,

we're trying to help out where we can and make sure that we have an industry to come back to at some point. ainsley: how do you choose who gets the money? >> well, what we do is we fund restaurants, so we are able to give grants to restaurants who are then able to feed their community and we basically pick restaurants who have been good to the community who have already been doing things for their community. we pick restaurants who have already made a commitment to sustainable organic agricultural practices and we feel like those restaurants who were before the pandemic at the forefront of social justice are going to be the ones that should be around after and those are the ones who are taking care of their people should be the ones who get a little bit of a leg up so they can help survive this pandemic. ainsley: rob we're almost out of time, but your grandparents

started this business and a loot of people were drinking bourbon over the thanksgiving holiday i know it's my dad's favorite thanks for doing this and giving back i know the alcohol industry has seen a boost but i'll give you the last word about 15 seconds. >> it's an honor and just want to say how proud i am of chef edward lee and his team. it was the middle of march when he decided to turn his famous restaurant here in kentucky into a relief kitchen and within three weeks, through his leadership, with the maker's team we opened 19 different locations and served more than 600,000 meals. ainsley: that's amazing rob thank you so much thank you chef lee, it's lee initiative.org if you want more information. more fox & friends moments away. oven can, like flip away. the ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away.
