they've run the engines to make sure when the grounding was lifted it would be ready to fly again. boeing's ceo says there's no plans to rebrand the 737 max but don't be surprised if they push it. >> thanks for joining us. i'm john roberts. it's time for "bill hemmer reporting." >> flying high. here we go. good afternoon. i'm bill hemmer. director of national intelligence warning that china is america's national security threat number 1. john ratcliffe speaking with foxnews.com and calling beijing the greatest threat to democracy and freedom since the second world war. he's giving advice to joe biden on how to deal with china as the trump administration raises the alarm on beijing again.

rich edson now from the state department with more from there. rich, good afternoon. >> good afternoon, bill. the nation's intelligence chief says the intel is clear that china is trying to dominate the united states and the world both economically and technologically and militarily. on top of that, john radcliff writing in the "wall street journal" saying they rob, replicate and replace. china robs u.s. companies of intellectual property, replicates the technology and replaces the u.s. firms in the global mark place. he shifted money in the intelligence budget to increase on china. ratcliffe said he briefed the house and intelligence committees that china is targeting members of congress.

ratcliffe tells foxnews.com that he hopes a biden administration would be honest about china and acknowledge that china alone is the greatest national security threat. that just went up on our website. also this morning, the state department announced more visa restrictions for members of the chinese communist party. a state department spokesperson said the ccp works in the u.s. to influence americans there propaganda and other nefarious activities. the ccp sends agents to the united states to monitor, threaten and report on chinese nationals and chinese american groups. the ccp members and their immediate families, tens of millions of citizens now can only stay in the united states on a visitor visa for one month. that used to be ten years. bill? >> wow. quite a change. thanks, rich. closer to home, fox news alert. california we go. waiting for the governor there to give an update and possibly announce new covid restrictions

after the u.s. supreme court ordered a lower court to reexamine california's rules on religious gatherings. the high court ruled in favor of houses of worship in new york. william la jeunesse has more. >> the ninth circuit court said that they could ban in-person religious services. the stay-at-home order did not violate the first amendment. that's what the ninth circuit said. the u.s. supreme court overruled that and ordered the trial court to reexamine those restrictions on indoor religious services. the california restrictions are still in place for now but revised the case by harvest rock church and several others in the state can now go forward. this follow's last week's decision in which the court said new york could not enforce limits on church and synagogue attendance. california claims that singing

and chanting indoors fuels the spread of covid. the first amendment prohibits government from restricting the size of religious gatherings. there's a growing backlash against strict rules that many say are unsupported by the evidence. parents are now playing with their kids in closed parks, adults are playing pickle ball without a mask. diners are fuming over rules that allow tattoo and massage parlors to stay open but closed outside dining. no walking or talking or bicycling with others, no hanging out with anyone outside your immediate family says mayor garcetti. >> it's time to hunker down. it's time to cancel everything. if it isn't essential, don't do it. don't meet up with others outside your house hold. don't host a gathering, don't attend a gathering. >> so california already has obviously a mask mandate, no

indoor outdoor dining and no sports for high schools. we expect governor newsome to impose restrictions on any county where the icu beds are more than 85% full. that would basically mean people cannot go to work other than essential employees. again, if you're over 85%, we know santa clara county and potentially a few more in northern california. >> thanks, william. another government official facing claims of covid hypocrisy. mayor of austin, texas now apologizing, telling people to stay home and stop the spread. casey stegall picks up reporting in dallas here. casey? >> you can't make this up. but in order to understand the time lines, we have to start at the beginning.

watch mayor steve adler, the mayor of austin, watch his plea to the public from a few weeks ago. >> we need to stay home, if you can, do everything you can to try to keep the numbers down. this is not the time to relax. we may have to close things down if we're not careful. >> now, you notice the ceiling was showing. perhaps adler had the camera tilted up so people continue say sand and palm trees. he was in cabo, san lucas, mexico at his time share. been there a day after flying down on his private jet with eight other people after his daughter got married. it happened to be at a time when austin was struggling with a spike of new coronavirus infections and hospitalizations. late yesterday all of this news was leaking and started making the rounds. hours later, you guessed it, roll the tape. >> i'm sorry i took that trip.

it was a lapse in judgment. i want you to know i apologize. i want you to know that i regret that travel. i wouldn't travel now. i didn't over thanksgiving. i won't over christmas. and no one should. >> that apology video going on to say that he still, however, did not violate any orders and that he consulted his own health officials before the wedding and the trip. 20 guests were invited to his daughter's wedding, which was held in a boutique in austin when the city was under a stage 3 advisory. ten groups discouraged him. everybody had to be tested before attending. >> thanks, casey. here's dr. fauci from earlier today. listen. >> i love them. they're good scientists. they took the data from the pfizer company and instead of scrutinizing it carefully, they'd said, okay, let's approve it. that's it. they went with it.

in fact, they were even rather criticized by their european union counter parts that are saying, you know, that was a hostile play. >> this is interesting. dr. fauci talking about london okaying the vaccine. first of its kind in the world. i want to bring in dr. marc siegel to talk about this. he wrote the new book "covid, the politics of fear and the power of science." did you hear fauci said that? he's saying that they're moving too fast. what do you think of that? >> when it comes to vaccines, you have to take dr. fauci seriously. one of the top vaccine experts in the world. that is his ballpark. but having said that, i have to hit the pause button here. i want our viewers to know, we keep calling this the pfizer vaccine. it's the bioentec vaccine. it was created in germany. it's a european vaccine that pfizer got involved with. why is that important?

it's important because the united kingdom has a policy of getting rolling data, bill. in other words, as the trials are going on, they're getting information on these 44,000 subjects. half of whom got the vaccine, half of whom got the placebo. we add the fda in the united states are going to be looking at all of that data at once. that takes longer. that's what dr. paul, the head of the vaccine education center at the children's hospital of philadelphia who i have interviewed says that they have a mountain of data to look at now. in the u.k., they were ahead of the game because they got -- >> but that's not what fauci said though. he said they just took the data from pfizer and instead of scrutinizing it, they went with it. now, is that true or not? >> i think he's concerned about that. i don't think that's true. what we're getting is reports that they look at their data bit by bit very carefully. i don't think that they would be

approving this for use in the united kingdom without doing that. fauci is right to raise the point. >> very interesting. the lag time on testing came up again today. why are we still dealing with this? >> we shouldn't be dealing with this, bill. first of all, we have a lot of rapid tests out there, abbott tests, other tests that can give you results in 15 minutes. the antigen tests are not as accurate unless you have symptoms. the delay is because a lot of places are doing the pcr test, the gold standard. they have to put them through a lab with through-put screening. the turn around time is the delay, getting it to the lab, getting it on the machine, off the machine. the bottom line, shouldn't take more than three or four hours to get a result. it's a disgrace. it interferes with what we want to do, which is identify the cases, isolate them and contact trace their contacts.

you can't do that four days after a diagnosis. >> you're right about that. >> it's too late. we have to do it right away. we're still not there. >> thanks, doc. marc siegel, good luck on the book. we'll talk soon. in a moment, a team descending on nevada before a court hearing where they claim 15 witnesses will offer testimony on voting issues. we're back live in a moment. we're digging deeper to a story from yesterday at the murky finances of the blacks live matter movement. we'll weigh-in on that momentarily. house democrats again choosing nancy pelosi as speaker but republicans, they are narrowing that majority. house minority whip steve scalise is here on that and more as we continue right after this. ♪ limu emu and doug. and if we win, we get to tell you how liberty mutual customizes car insurance so you only pay for what you need. isn't that what you just did? service! ♪ stand back, i'm gonna show ya ♪

the campaign filed a new lawsuit in the state. white house claims to have sworn affidavits alleging fraud. went to bring in ken star. good afternoon to you. nice to see you. a lot moving on a lot of tables and a lot of states, whether it's nevada today or what i mentioned in wisconsin or even the state of georgia. narrow it down for us. where are you putting your focus right now as you look at this? >> i'm trying to look at the entire battlefield. i want to know what those campaigns are doing in each and every state. but i will just say this at the outset. these affidavits, these declarations, the testimony is so important. while it's late in the fourth quarter because as you know, bill, december 8 is right around the corner. that's when all governors in order to have a so-called safe harbor have to certify. it's not formally over, but it's over on december 8. so we have to see the

president's team making real progress and thus far as we see, they have come up with very troubling evidence. but they have not found a way to win especially since some six states are in play. >> bill: you mentioned december 8. five days from now. >> right. >> bill: what can you get through the court system in that time or would you expect perhaps an extension past the 8th as you examine this? >> it's possible. the real key ultimately is january 6. but five days after december -- five days away from december 8, then comes december 14. that's when the electors vote. i don't think a court will interfere after that. god bless the president's team. let them produce this evidence. i'm already looking toward the reforms that need to be done because mail-in ballots are obviously a ticket for disaster, a ticket for mischief.

let's go back to what jimmy carter and james baker bipartisan said, this is not -- i'm paraphrasing, this is not a good system. we have to prove who we are if we want to get on an airplane or get in a hotel. why don't we require that in a democracy? >> bill: let's see where that goes post this election. now your focus is on georgia. we get the reports that progressive groups are reaching out to people that may be dead, that may not live in the state of georgia. what do you think an investigation when you know you have another vote in that state in 32 days? >> right. exactly. so i hope and this is a hope, and it's bordering on expectancy, that the wake-up call came, perhaps should have been listened to prior to november 3, but for everyone to be girding his or her loins for we are here as integrity officers. we're going to insist on complete compliance with georgia

law. there's calls to reform georgia law. i don't know what is happening on the political front, but what we know is the american people have the most profound interest in an honest election. let's make sure that we have the tools in place to assure that as best we can. >> bill: what do you think the legacy will be then? you talked about mail-in voting. is that what we take away from 2020? >> yes, we're going to have a huge policy fight and political fight. mail-in ballots, we're opening ballot box to people -- we want everyone to vote. of course we want everyone qualified to vote. this is the problem. we now know -- we've known forever that a mail-in ballot is a ticket for abuse, for questionable practices and even for outright fraud. it should be never again without the most important safeguards in place. prove that you deserve to be on this airplane. prove that you are the person

that you saw you are when you check in the hotel. we're familiar with that. but by virtue of the actions because of covid. it's extraordinary. we don't have to do this again and shouldn't do it again. >> bill: thanks, ken star. enjoy your day. >> thank you. >> bill: we'll talk again. thanks for being here. catch that? he had to watch carefully. a movie or real life in 2020? a mysterious explosion there. and there's this in the oval office. >> i will and i think we're getting very close. i want it to happen. i believe that they're getting very close to a deal. yeah. >> you'll support it? >> i will. absolutely. >> bill: signs of progress and a covid relief bill. i'll talk to steve scalise about that and more next coming up. alright, everyone, we made it.

my job is to help new homeowners who have turned into their parents. i'm having a big lunch and then just a snack for dinner. so we're using a speakerphone in the store. is that a good idea? one of the ways i do that is to get them out of the home. you're looking for a grout brush, this is -- garth, did he ask for your help? -no, no. -no. we all see it. we all see it. he has blue hair. -okay. -blue. progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents, but we can protect your home and auto when you bundle with us. -keep it coming. -you don't know him. is important to me... ...so being diagnosed with advanced non-small cell lung cancer... ...made me think of all the things that i wanted to teach my kids. my doctor said i could start on keytruda... ...so i did. with each scan things just got better. in a clinical study, keytruda offered patients a longer life than chemotherapy. and it could be your first treatment. for non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, keytruda can be used... ...for adults who test positive for "pd-l1"... ...and whose tumors... ...do not havean abnormal "egfr" or "alk" gene.

keytruda is not chemotherapy... it's the immunotherapy used to treat more patients with advanced lung cancer than any other. keytruda helps your immune system fight cancer but can also cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body. this can happen during or after treatment and may be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have new or worse cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, diarrhea, severe stomach pain or tenderness, nausea or vomiting, rapid heartbeat, increased hunger or thirst, constipation, dizziness or fainting, changes in urine or eyesight, muscle pain or weakness, joint pain, confusion or memory problems, fever, rash, itching, or flushing. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including immune system problems, if you've had an organ transplant, had or plan to have a stem cell transplant, or have lung, breathing, or liver problems. before, i'd think of the stuff i might miss. but now with keytruda, we have hope. it's tru. keytruda from merck. ask your doctor about keytruda.

keytruda from merck. you can crush ice, make nismoothies, and do even more. chop salsas, spoon thick smoothie bowls, even power through dough, and never stall. the ninja foodi power pitcher. rethink what a blender can do.

>> bill: a recount showing rita hart losing by six votes. show could appeal through a legal challenge but she's going to the u.s. house. it's unclear how that investigation plays out. could end up with a floor vote on who should get the seat. her republican challenger says that hart is choosing a political process controlled by nancy pelosi over a legal process controlled by judges in iowa. hart says there's not enough time to meet the state deadline of december 8. we'll watch that. watch this, too. in new york, officials say they found 55 uncounted ballots for a house race currently separated by 12 votes. upstate new york now. the democratic congressman is anthony brindizzi trailing

claudia teney. most of the discovered ballots were found by republicans and cast for republicans. the winner is not expected for a few weeks because of challenges of more than 1,500 absentee ballots. iowa and new york. those races will affect the final balance of power in the house. there are two of five seats outstanding as we speak today. it could be tight. bring in steve scalise out of louisiana, sir. good day to you. picking up seats. how do you think this goes now when you convene in early january, sir? >> bill, we had great wins. we flipped a lot of seats from democrats. marynell is one of those great seats. 600 of 300,000 votes cast.

she will be great. i like claudia. in the end, she will win. it's bizarre that they find ballots and just enough to flip the seat back. it smells fishy and people are rightfully watching that. in the end when you look, all the experts in washington were predicting we would lose 12 republican seats. instead, we're going to gain 12. that's roughly 25 -- >> bill: we asked a lot of people this question. a lot of very interesting answers. why do you think that is? >> well, you know, there's a lot of questions being raised about the methodology of the pollsters and the so-called experts, the elites that said pelosi will get another dozen seats. pelosi herself was saying that and now she's answering tough questions because they lost about 12 seats. because we had great candidates first of all. i tell you what, bill, the voters of this country rejected socialism. we confronted it head on. all of these democrats that embrace the defund the police movement.

when they realized the public didn't like it, they were walking it back. they were embracing the idea of defunding the police and people don't want that. we took them on. >> bill: a lot of republicans believe the same issues are still on the ballot for the senate races in georgia come early january. i want to talk about the covid deal. there's movement on that today. do you see it that way? >> i'd like to see us get a relief package. we've been pushing for weeks to bring up steve shabbot's bill that allows small businesses struggling to go for another round of ppe loans, the loans that save businesses and jobs already. some of them are still struggling. unfortunately a lot of them have closed. pelosi brought that bill on the floored too, it would get over 400 votes. she's more focused on legalizing pot than helping small businesses. it's unbelievable how done deaf they are to these small businesses and the jobs -- >> bill: sorry to interrupt.

it appearses her marker of 2.2 trillion in october, it appears that she's come off of that number. do you rate that as progress then? >> i rate that as president trump putting his foot down and saying i want to help small businesses and families. we're not going to bail out failed states or do the green new deal that they were trying to do in these bills. let's focus on helping families that are struggling. that's where the focus needs to be. like i said, there's a bill that would get huge bipartisan support already waiting that pelosi won't bring to the table. hopefully we get something done soon. the businesses need help. unfortunately some governors that tell the businesses to shut down but they themselves are out there hypocritely telling you not to do what they're doing. people are fed up with that. >> bill: i think you put your finger on it. we're waiting to see whether or not washington really understands it that way. but you're making -- >> washington might not get it.

main street does get it. there's a lot of democrats that won't stand up to pelosi. if pelosi put that bill on the floor, the steve shabbot bill would get 400 plus votes but she won't do it. it would help every small business struggling using money already there. $137 billion, bill in an account that is frozen. you don't need to spend another deficit dollar. you can free that money up and it would help any small business struggling. why don't we do that today? >> bill: sounds like it sensible. see if it happens. thanks, sir. steve scalise. >> great being with use. >> bill: thanks for coming back. in a moment, following the money. more of our reporting in the black lives matters finances. they want transparency. geraldo and leo are looking into this. and the mysterious monoliths turning up. the latest in the state of

about. millions here. but it's still significant. according to tanden an organization that tracks philanthropic work, the $2 million in grants come from four donors. john cena, door dash, stitch fit and fila u.s.a. we know square enix, $250. thom shoes, 150. spanx 25,000. the group received millions in celebrity donations. bts, the boy band, $200,000. bts asked their army to donate and matched the band's million. several others that acknowledged donations but didn't specify, that group includes some of the wealthiest people in hollywood like ellen, lady gaga, kylie

jenner. she became a billionaire last year. let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture with respect to racial equity. according to candid, 14.2 billion has been raised for racial equities since 2011. out of that, 10.7 billion, more than 75%, has been pledged and committed this year. but there's a lot of racial equity groups, not just black lives matters. there were reports that bank of america gave them million when they gave them to various groups fighting racial inequality. bank of america confirmed to us that blm was not one of the groups. all the outlets are not blm but they support similar causes and the bottom line, bill, we're talking about a lot of money. >> bill: thanks. more in a moment. geraldo and leo on that. california's governor, gavin newsome giving an update on the response to covid. there's a regional stay-at-home order in california.

drop in here. >> they will drop based on the current projections below 50%. what does a stay-at-home order mean? what is on the list in terms of augmentation and new protocols and guidelines? we're looking at temporary closure when the region, when the region is placed in the stay-at-home category that bars, wineries, personal services, hair salons and the like would be temporarily closed for that three-week period. those sectors that will remain open in this new criteria include schools, bars closed, schools open that have received waivers with the appropriate oversight and safety protocols that we have advanced and we demand in terms of standards. critical infrastructure, broadly defined on the previous guidances that we have put out.

retail occupancy, 20% capacity. what we want to avoid is concentrating in large box retail too much of concentrate activity that would induce more mixing, not less. thus the decision by our health professionals and advisers. we've reached out across the spectrum for a number of days to get insight and valuable consideration that we put in play. made that determination on retail. restaurants, people continue to be open for take-out and delivery. i want to acknowledge the california restaurant association. as a restauranteur out of college myself and a restaurant i deeply empathize and a deep appreciation for -- >> bill: there's california's governor, gavin newsome. the last comments about restaurants is a bit ironic about visiting the french laundry that was captured on

camera. by the way, the other headline is that the new order will use icu capacity to determine businesses in the state of california. when they must close in specific regions. back with geraldo and leo terrell. good morning day to both of you. we brought you on to talk about two things. black lives matter, geraldo. a lot of money in a short period of time. is there something to this? >> bill: it's a tremendously popular organization, bill. you know, people want to give. there's a tremendous appeal to people with compassion. we want racial equity. previously as we know, black lives matter is involved with defund the police, the violence associated with their demonstrations, looting, anarchy and so forth. now they bear the burden as a

big organization, multibillion dollar organization. but they need financial accountability. they need transparency. the central group, the black lives matter global network foundation has to be accountable to the local chapters. ten of them are complaining that hundreds of thousands have been spent on travel, other expenses and consultants without accountability. that can't be in an evolved group. you have to be responsible for the money that donors are giving. >> bill: you used the right word, transparency. if you get it and if you give it, leo, you get more confidence from the people that support your group and organization. >> i don't get it. first of all, in my opinion, bill, black lives matter is an organization that intimidates people. it threatens people. they worked on the extreme left. i'm not asking and the report by jackie was excellent, but i want a finished investigation in to the executive board of the black

lives matter and apparently in-house fighting. i want subpoenas issued. i want to see the documents. billions of dollars. i know what their manifesto says, bill, but where is the money going to? this is the biggest problem with black lives matter. they are in the pocket of the democratic party. they were very disruptive in all of those key democratic cities and democratic leadership is intimidated by black lives matter. that's not a popular organization. that's a criminal and threatening organization. >> bill: so we'll see how that deal with that. karl rove, "wall street journal" on the event saturday in georgia. the election went down to georgia is the name of this piece. the president's trip on saturday will be key. rather than venting his grievances, mr. trump must remind supporters no matter how frustrated they are, they must turn out for mr. purdue and mrs. loeffler. the nation's fate during the biden administration and mr. trump's legacy may depend on

his choice saturday ". geraldo to you. >> don jr. treated out saying that i'm seeing people telling gop voters not to vote for kelly loeffler and david purdue for senate. that is nonsense. ignore those people. we need our people coming out to vote for kelly and david. why is don jr. so concerned? he's concerned because he has attorneys like lynn wood and sydney powell, they are working for the president and they're telling people not to trust the system, that the system is bankrupt, the electoral system, the governors are in cahoots, the secretary of states. it's generating distrust for the election and the fear is it will cut turnout, hurt the republicans in this key race. this is the key race. this will determine who controls the senate of the united states. this is for real. >> bill: we'll talk about that

for 32 days in a row. leo, quick. >> i was in contact with the senator loeffler. she's excited about trump coming down there. donald trump has to make it very clear to georgia voters that he is 1 billion percent behind loeffler and purdue and all georgia republicans have to vote republican because we need to save the trump legacy, bill. that is at stake. if the democrats take over the senate, we're in trouble. >> bill: thanks, gentlemen. see you next thursday. >> thanks. >> bill: more on the warning about beijing. what the intel chief calls national security threat number 1 and urging for joe biden to be honest about that. gordon chang has written books on china. he joins me next live. research shows people remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's one that'll really take you back. wow! what'd you get, ryan? it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual!

north korea. they couldn't stand up if china didn't back them. >> bill: you believe it is the defining issue of our time. you're on the same page of what ratcliffe said earlier today. joe biden was in "the new york times" yesterday. here's his quote with dealing with china. he says it's about leverage. in my view, we don't have it yet. how do you read that comment? >> first of all, i don't think that joe biden is correct on that. because the u.s. has far more leverage over china than china has on the u.s. so for instance, last year china's merchandise trade surplus with the u.s. constituted 81.8% of the emergency surplus. that means that china is dependent on the u.s. market. it's also dependent on investment from the u.s. and technology. so i think what joe biden is trying to do in those remarks is basically say, i don't want to impose taxes on china because i don't have the means.

he has the means and he has to do it to protect the united states as president. >> bill: here's radcliff's statement. >> yes. well, clearly china has been doing that. what he's meaning is they steal our technology, they then duplicate our industries and then they put us out of business. they have done that for a number of companies, american and others. china steals somewhere between 150 to $600 billion worth of u.s. intellectual property each year. the director of national intelligence put that figure at $500 billion in his op-ed. we don't really know a precise figure. it is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. now, vice president biden has said look, you know, we really don't want to impose costs on china. we want to develop the u.s. well, of course we should develop the u.s. but we can't develop the u.s. when china is stealing half a

trillion of u.s. -- >> bill: but that's what the trade war was about. we grabbed that leverage. that's what we've been talking about. >> that's right. the tariffs that president trump imposed were under the trade act of 1974 for the remedy for the theft of i.p. but they have not stopped it. the phase 1 trade deal is failing because the chinese are not complying with their obligations. so we need to impose greater costs on china. i know people don't want to do that, but we don't really have a choice. >> bill: security threat number 1. that's what radcliff calls it. thanks, gordon. thanks for coming back. gordon chang. >> thanks, bill. >> bill: in a post covid world, have you thought about that yet? what might concerts look like? we'll talk about that with fox nation host abby hornacek that joins me. nice to see you. >> nice to see you. ♪ new projects means new project managers.

>> bill: did you hear this? check it out. listen. that building in central new york state was said to be from a meteor that fell to ear earth. fox nation host checking this out. how are you doing? nice to see you. it sounded like a mouthful. >> it did come about this boom was heard in new york, and the flash was seen across multiple states. yes, this boom was reported to the sonic boom from a meteor ripping through the atmosphere which absolutely sounds terrifying. it is very rare to see a meteor during daylight. i did some research -- >> bill: what did you find out? >> i found out that the american meteor research society said is very rare to see a meteor in daylight. it has be brighter than the magnitude of negative six. people who did sai see this metr

are very lucky. and to hear the boom. you didn't hear it in new york. >> bill: we did see the flash, but before, we did not. >> neil: i'm going to look at my notes, but i has to be a magnitude of negative eight and penetrate the stratosphere below for lefty commoners. >> bill: the monoliths keep popping up here to these suckers weigh 200 pounds. who is behind this? >> i think it is you, bill hemmer. i think the media landed and distributed these monoliths around the world. there are no answers yet per se. but we just found a third one in california. it is a little bit different. it is 200 pounds like you mentioned, but it is not secured to the ground like the one that was found in utah. the second one was found romania print the one in utah was ultimately removed by some tick-tock hiking e.r.es of course. it was on federal land. someone who hosted a national

park show -- whether it was for tick-tock or for a good cause but we are still trying to figure it out. it has been reported that a local journalist says and romania that it was a local welder that put that one in romania. but whether or not they are connected, we don't know. >> bill: i've got 30 seconds. would you in order to go back to a concert at some point post covid be willing to show that you took the vaccine? because ticketmaster may do that. speak out yes, they are definitely rolling out this approved process. i don't know about the vaccine just yet, but you can also get tested 24-72 hours ahead of time and show proof of that. they send it to ticketmaster and ticketmaster verifies that you do not have covid. a lot -- >> bill: i see those pictures they are, those people gathered. it seems like it was so long a

ago. >> you are ready to get out there and sing along on these concerts. >> bill: you come back. nice to see you, abby. set your dvr and never meso report. neil, is coming up on "your world." >> neil: all right, thank you very much, bill appeared we were following very closely the governor of california, gavin newsom is out lying really the strictest provision since the height of the pandemic back in march and april because of the serious spike in cases. governor gavin newsom among other things are looking at stay-at-home orders and trying to make this as voluntary as possible, but hinting that if people did not cooperate, there could be problems. he is dividing the estate and to at least five reasons and lockdowns would last for a minimum of three weeks -- which would take us right to the cusp of the holiday season. what happens right now? we are over the fallout also gog b
