show. i rappelled down a 22 story building alongside two new york yankees manager aaron boone and general manager brian cashman, part of the tradition. from what i understand my the review gets done this. i have never been asked. >> you got the exclusive ticket. it was a special for you. when rick did it for 20 years, you carried them and told and i heard steve doocy sent to you, why are you taking such baby steps down the side of the building, >> he had called me down the side of the building. you can look at it right here, right now.

him him video the secretary of state watched hours of video and said this is what happened, these were not suitcases, these were ballot boxes. hours and hours. all i am saying, and they were not allowed. they were and that is why in your you and trump attorneys not delegation it was the distance they were allowed to observe is there a two signature check. a lot of what is alleged by donald trump has not come to fruition, you have 30 cases that have been thrown out and

this relief bill. >> this bill is designed to take care of those who were hit the hardest, those who were unemployed as a result of shutdowns, the biggest revenue losses, state and local government, schools, it is designed to plug the hole that still exists as a result of this. >> here are the specifics including $300 billion in funding for small businesses to ppp, $180 billion to extend unemployment benefits at $300 per week for four months and a temporary moratorium on covid-19 liability lawsuits. i want to not spend too much time looking backward. what are the prospects of this bill being passed and at the same time what has held up the bill?

>> you guys have highlighted the last one. speaker pelosi decided to play politics with this, a $3 trillion bill we voted on two times. anytime a bill comes to vote for you can predict pretty quickly whether it will become law, those were messaging bills and all members knew it. it is unfortunate because people are really struggling and she tipped our hand when she had the press conference. that held us back in my opinion. now what is holding us back is our senate colleagues and speaker. they need to close the deal, the deal needs to get done. they are still in different places. washington is a leadership driven talent we need them to come forward. i'm more optimistic today than i have been in the last 2 or 3 months. when we first put it out we put it out in september. when we put our our house

version i was optimistic and rbd passed away, slowed things down. i'm optimistic then because you hear the right things about leadership and they are talking which doesn't usually happen. we will see and we will keep pushing. >> it is a bipartisan effort to put this together. less than 30 seconds to put a fine point on this. nancy pelosi hasn't has to bill up to this point because donald trump is president. we heard there is now a new president. is that is why things have been held up? >> that is the biggest reason. senate republicans have been all over the map but i do think that is coming closer to gather. i talked to senator portman from ohio and he's having good dialogue. they are coming closer on the senate side but the house she said it yesterday, basically political. >> thanks for your time. the newest member of aoc's squad and now this new york

proposal will not be tolerated. doctor, thank you for joining us. you listen to that clip, what is your take on what he was saying with respect to reduction of police? >> it is insanity and he is living in the twilight zone and doesn't have the pulse of the people to do something like that. crime has increased exponentially, murders, robberies, assaults. if he took a survey of the neighborhood people would have said we want more police and we are the people who call the police the most which i was raised in a poor community. i would never sign a paper to say take the police out of the community. if you have issues with relations you build on those. you don't just say get rid of it. i challenge those political leaders to come to those neighborhoods without their security and live there and

walk around. >> my problem with his statement is the implication is police are going to do something wrong. of course there are bad actors, we can have conversations about qualified immunity but this implication that people who get up every day and put on a uniform and protect other people and by and large are good people, the implication they are somehow bad and should be viewed as the enemy that is a real problem. >> he is, there he is feeding into the stereotype, we are people, brothers, fathers, nieces and nephews and we need to how many murders are salt, how many robberies are solved, police officers run towards danger. we don't run away. we run toward shots fired to protect people and protect life and property and save the above the ones.

once again this shows how out of touch they are with reality when it comes to police. >> president obama made some waves with some comments on defund the police. listen to what he had to say and get your reaction. >> i guess you can use a snappy slogan like defund the police but you flossed a big audience the minute you said which makes a lot less likely you're going to get the changes you want done. >> he took a lot of heat from folks on the left for saying that. was he right? >> president obama was absolutely right. regardless of party affiliation, republican, democrat or liberal you want public safety. even clyburn from south carolina stated it was a mistake to say defund the police and he even stated we should not defund the police. if you have an issue with what is going on, look at retraining, building better community relationships but

don't defund them. you want them to do more and be better. a lot of people are out of touch, politicians are not reading the data of the areas they serve nor are they speaking to the people when they start saying defund the police, they are speaking as a slogan, hurting the people come speaking on their own behalf, look at new york city, how crime has spiked exponentially and people are suffering, the police are not 7, the public is suffering because of these insanity type slogans was all they are doing is thinking everything is going to disappear. >> thanks for joining us with your insight and thank you for everything you've done to keep new york communities safe. >> have a great day.

the state of utah, thanks for being with us this morning. the trump team and georgia gop filing a new lawsuit friday, claims of viral video that shows in their estimation people making the claims that this is an example of election fraud. tell us your state of the claims and the status of the president's claims of fraud in this election. >> the president had no choice but to file another lawsuit. what you have is a video that has gotten a lot of attention. the video if you listen to the voice narrating the video that attorney is a friend of mine, have the utmost confidence in her, she's one of the finest attorneys that i know, she analyzed the video, they talked with witnesses, they outlined i think what is very compelling and disturbing when you watch

and see the video. when it comes to the debunking that has been alleged that they debunked the video if you look at what they stated, the governor is concerned about it and called for a signature audit but the debunking has amounted to basically yes, we admit they were scanning ballots, we don't think anybody was kicked out of the room. that's not debunking the video. what we needed someone to look at it in partially and the site if it is significant in this election. >> go ahead. >> i was going to say with all due respect that is not what the secretary of state's office is saying, they are saying they watched hours and hours of footage and what is being alleged about suitcases, they are not suitcases, they regular ballot boxes, these ballots, scanning ballots that had already been opened with

individuals in the room, observers who were not told to leave the room, they were told to come back in at any point. saying those individuals in the secretary of state's office are lying, saying an untruth with respect to what they saw for hours and hours. >> a couple things. that's not necessarily refuting what is alleged about the video. there are witnesses who indicated they were kicked out of the room. when it occurs is concerning. there was an admission they were counting ballots. there is a spike in the statistics in terms of biden jumping ahead that correlates with timing of the video. watching and observing it for hours much of the video may not be problematic but you certainly have enough when it concerns the governor, the secretary of state certainly

has the authority to recertify but if i watch and correlate the spike quote that went predominantly to biden i file a lawsuit and if you have confidence nothing was wrong they should be okay with a signature audit. >> the signature audit is what people have been calling for to see if the amount of ballots matches the amount of ballots with signatures on them to make sure the count is aboveboard. when you look at the spike of voting other states where the vote was stopped and there was a spike it looks suspicious but the new york post had an op-ed calling out democrats for what we know they do often which is hypocrisy, democrats are now reaping the whirlwind of the 2016 election resistance. a portion of the op-ed says in violation of long-standing norms democrats refuse to accept the results of as legitimate. again and again leading democrats to call trump illegitimate. 3 years they held the russian

collusion hoax without producing every evidence accept the discredited steel body, democrats were dismayed that many americans are not accepting the legitimacy of the biden presidency are in the process of learning a lesson, talking a long time ago, you reap what you so. why is it do much to allow donald trump's legal team four, six, eight weeks to examine if the election was aboveboard, shouldn't that be okay in light of what was done? >> it should be okay. this is something i think trump is entitled to do. there's enough irregularities and this is also on the heels of the media seemingly burying controversial and expose allegations about hunter biden and money from foreign countries. >> never dug into that. thank you so much for your time and insight this morning, thank you. >> we will turn to some headlines in this hour, young

why is it they feel the rules don't apply to them and do they not care businesses like yours are facing destruction? >> i wish i had the answer to that. would be the most expensive political consultant but seems as if number one they have taken this very lightly when the rest of us are taking it incredibly seriously. to make these draconian rules and then just break them, not under the radar or months later but literally in some cases within minutes of putting the wool in place. >> maybe they don't believe in them in the first place. if you stay open what do you anticipate happening? >> i don't know. you got to figure out how these things are interpreted locally, what the sheriff is going to say etc. but at the end of the day i hope reasonable minds take over and we can continue to let our diners design outdoors was i don't to speculate, dress up in a

lobster suit to go across the patio. >> if you look at other places we've seen jim owners find hundreds of thousands of dollars into the restaurant owners taken away in handcuffs. ultimately they dig their heels in. you may be in for a battle. keep us updated, open outdoors makes sense to me. appreciate your time. still ahead. mccain is back in studio after surviving rappelling down a 22 story building. how did he do it? what was he thinking? did he use the section cups brian kilmeade told him to use? we will bring it to you. ♪ love you just the same ♪ we can't children ♪ that makes everything right ♪ so your hearts with christmas cheer ♪ santa claus comes tonight ♪

christmas tree along with the governor of california and the mayor of l.a -- [laughter] no christmas treement you can see a christmas tree if you make an appointment over at rockefeller plaza. all right. enough christmas, now let's get to politics, and there is the a big race. we're one month out from the race in georgia, which i believe is january 5th, today's december 5th. the president will be there tonight, and we have special coverage here on the fox news channel. and vice president pence talked about a republican minority majority in the senate -- majority in the senate. here's a portion of what he said. >> men and women of the peach state, i'm here on the president's behalf because we need georgia to send two great senators back to republican majority in washington. we need to send 'em back because the republican senate majority

could be the last line of defense preserving all that we've done. if you don't vote, there could be nothing to stop chuck schumer and nancy pelosi from cutting our military, raising taxes, a passing the agenda of the radical left. for all we've done, for all we have yet to do, for our president and our future, for georgia and america, cast another vote for all that president trump has accomplished. jedediah: yeah. i mean, these two runoffs are incredibly important. that would be your check on a biden administration, on anything that they choose to do. you need republicans coming out in georgia and vote. this is the way that you can sort of combat some of the issues that would come through a biden administration that you wouldn't support. you're going to see strong messaging from pence, you just heard it from other gop officials, and on the other side of the aisle you're going to see

a strong messaging from a lot of people including president obama who talked about the impact the result of that race could have on a biden/harris agenda. listen to what he had to say. >> the promise of the biden presidency and the harris vice presidency rests in part on their a ability to have a cooperative posture with congress. and to do that, we have to have the two gentlemen who are running for senate in georgia, raphael warnock and jon ossoff, there to help move that agenda forward. will: so what is the, in the words of president obama, promise of a presumptive biden/harris agenda? well, it looks something like this. these are promises made during the campaign or already in the last month from potential president-elect joe biden. a green new deal, pathway to citizenship, reinstate daca

program, raise corporate tax rate, are repeal 2017 tax the consistents, $15 minimum wage, rejoin the paris climate accords, ban the sale of assault weapons and free public college for low income families. it is, as you heard described there, a radical left agenda, and i think at the very least two promises made starkly clear, raising taxes and, as joe biden said in the first hundred days, he would move to a pathway to citizenship. that's what's at saw stake georgia. pete: yeah. don't forget that 100-day mask mandate. it is, it's cutting the military, it's raising your taxes, it's back to basics. of it's erosion of our sovereignty by opening up our borders and giving it to international institutions that don't have america's interests in mind at all. should that be the way it goes, the two seats would be critically important.

ultimately, you see how the left quickly falls behind radicals. warknock and ossoff are socialists, way out of step with what the democrat party used to be. they embrace it because that's their the only pathway to power. you're going to have to watch today, the georgia runoff debate special coverage -- tomorrow, excuse me, tomorrow at 6:45. most of our programs don't start at 6:45, so don't forget that. it's the first show i've ever seen that starts on a 45. special coverage of the georgia runoff debate right here on the fox news channel. jedediah: that's exactly right people should tune in and keep their eyes closely on those two runoffs. we've been talking a lot about the bar industry, the restaurant industry, the impact of these lockdowns, the frustration that a lot of individuals who own these businesses around the country is have felt that they feel these restrictions have fallen upon them, you know, kind

of arbitrarily. they don't understand it, they don't see an end in sight, and they're getting increasingly frustrated. we saw it on staten island, other areas of the country. here's angela, owner of pineapple hill saloon and grill calling out that double standard particularly on outdoor dining in california. listen to what she had to say. >> this is my place, the pine. ing hill grill and saw is loon. you can see all the work we did for outdoor like. i walk into my parking lot and, obviously, mayor garcetti has approved this. has a approved this being set is the up, this being is the set up for a movie company. everything i own is being taken away from me, and they set up a i movie company right next to my outdoor patio with. tell me that this is dangerous

but right next to me as a slap in my face, that's safe. this is safe? will: that is an absolute outrage are. what we're seeing there is her outside dining setup on one side of a parking lot deemed unsafe and illegal in california while right across a few parking spots, that is, i think, a craft services is theup for a movie production -- set up for a movie production there in california. it highlights two things. number one, just the plain cruelty of these mandates. there's no other way to put that. they're arbitrary, yes. they are cruel. they are crushing the livelihood, the life work of people there in california. and this is another point that i've tried to make several times, pete, but tolerance. people will get intolerant to this type of arbitrariness and this threat to their lively hood. they'll simply stop following mandates, and you're going to

realize limitations of your power. pete: how many times are we going to hear follow the science? there's nothing scientific about the arbitrary train of this application -- movies must go on, therefore, we're going to put them outside to feed them right next to the store that feeds people outside. and, frankly, probably has more protocols in place to protect their workers because it's a permanent location, they've thought through how to sanitize, how to deliver to their customers who they're ultimately accountable for. you go there, you know the owner, you go to an outdoor movie set, what are your expectations? nothing, right? give me a plastic plate and some forks, i'll eat, i'm out of here. there's nothing in the science about this. it's completely capricious and arbitrary. and i hope you're right, will, that people will start standing up. we've seen examples here and there. in order for it to be effective, masses of businesses need to stand up and resist. the entire block, we're all

opening up. you shut us all down? has to be collective action of free citizens. hopefully, we get to that point. jedediah: yeah. and the issue is it started with the indoor dining and they said, well, it's indoors, there's certain studies that show that gatherings indoors. and then these restaurant owners went above and beyond to figure out how to do outdoor dining in a way that would sustain their business to get through this, and many of them worked really harold. they set up certain structures outside, they got extra permits, and now to be told, oh, by the way, you can't do that either and your only option is takeout, a lot of these restaurants can't survive on takeout, and they know it. when you hear the emotion in that woman's voice, that can't be ignored. these people are suffering, and they don't know what other options they have. they're looking at shutting down, closing temporarily or trying to, you know, whatever savings they may left to try to sustain themselves.

and when you talk about the science, there needs to be science behind these decisions at this point. these are people's lives, their lively hoods, their families' lives. this should not be taken lightly. pete: i just want to know science according to who? another restaurant out there, what latest iteration of who decides? will: the claim of follow the science has become less about some intelligent analysis of what works and what does not and more a religious intonation. follow the science, therefore, my point is right. we're going to give you a great example of that lateer in the show. all right, turning to a few additional headlines starting with this fox news alert, right now more than 100 firefighters are battling a massive fire in new york city. it started at an abandoned building overnight and spread to a historic church. fire fight ors are still working to put out the flames, upgraded to a five alarm fire. the church has stood in the big apple since 1891. a record 2 the 27,000

♪ ♪ jedediah: the stock market hitting three record highs this week thanks to position on covid-19 relief talks on capitol hill. this as the economy adds 245,000 jobs and unemployment dipped to 6.7% in november. here with analysis, fox news contributor and professor at the kings college in manhattan, brian brenberg. brian, welcome back, as always. in general, give us your take on the unemployment numbers in particular and what that means with respect to the labor participation rate and all that smart stuff you bring up all the time. >> well, leading up to november we had six months of really strong jobs reports, but november didn't follow that trend. the number dipped quite a bit down to 245,000 jobs, and i've got to tell you, in light of your last segment, the answer for that quandary is exactly what we're seeing with restaurant owners and retail shops, it's the shutdown. it's very hard to continue the pace of hiring we saw earlier in this year when you're living under the threat of shutdown. you can see that in a couple

numbers. the biggest ones to me in this last jobs report was the labor participation rate falling to 61.5 from 61.7. what that means is that people were leaving the labor force. of they stopped looking for jobs. and one sector in particular where that really showed up was retall. we saw a loss in retail jobs of 35,000 last month. so if you look atta picture and try to figure out what's going on there, the answer becomes pretty obvious. those jobs where you have to show up to work, where you have to go someplace, those businesses, they're simply not hiring because they just don't have any confidence that they're going to be able to stay open. and if you're not going to be open, you're not going to bring employees onboard just to lay them off again. so looking ahead at the big issues for next year, the question mark is will we do something different on these lockdowns, will we find a smarter policy to help some of these restaurant owners and retail shops, or will we do what we're doing right now? if we keep doing what we're

doing, i think these jobs numbers are going to be depressed for only so time. jedediah: yeah. you know, brian, we've done a lot of interviews with owners in the hospitality industry, and it's heartbreaking to see what they have been through. you have to look no further than a mall, frankly, to see what this has done to retail. it's really incredible the devastation in the industry in the last suggestion, seven months -- six, seven months and hoping it comes back to some hfl of normalcy. it's been quite impactful in a bad way. we want to talk to you about, though, another topic that's been a really fascinating to watch, because a lot of companies have picked up their headquarters, hewlett-packard is the latest, and left places like california and gone to texas. we're now learning that tesla's ceo elon musk has told friends and associates he plans to move to texas. and the question is will california ever realize why? will they get the message as to why these companies kneel that it's more profitable -- feel that it's more profitable to

move to a place like texas? are they getting the message? >> it doesn't seem like they are. i mean, they keep putting progressive lawmakers back into state offices. the state is dominated by progressives. it almost seems like they wear this as a badge of honor. they like to be the state where it's hard to live and it's hard to do business, and they have watched thousands of businesses leave over the last decade. hewlett-packard is just the latest, and that's a big one. these guys were the founding group of the silicon valley movement out in california. california is one of the worst place for taxes, one of the worst places for regulation, and if they don't fix it, the center of graf i think in terms of the economy is going to shift away to texas, to other states that have much more freedom. jedediah: yeah. thank you, brian, as always, appreciate it. >> you bet. good to see you, jed. jedediah: you too. still ahead, congresswoman al of alful -- alexandria ocasio-cortez facing backlash.

of next month's critical january 5th runoff of to determine who controls the senate. the vice president went down to georgia yesterday, and former president barack obama held a zoom rally to fire up the base. >> we need to send them back because of who they are. we need to send them back because of all that we accomplished together. and we need to send them back because the republican senate majority could be the last line of defense preserving all that we've done. >> because the special election in georgia is going to determine, ultimately, the course of the biden presidency. >> reporter: incumbent senators kelly loeffler and david perdue face stiff challenges to keep their seats red. the gop currently holds a slim majority in the senate giving republicans control of the committees and the nominating positive for joe biden's cabinet picks. if the democrats win both, it would make a 50-50 tie which

means kamala harris would cast the tie-breaking vote in the senate. fulton county rejected fraud claims tied to a viral video, guys. will: thanks so much, lucas. the importance of that georgia senate race, both of those georgia senate races, cannot be overstated. as you heard in lucas' piece, so much of a potential biden/harris administration and agenda is on the line; green new deal, pathway to citizenship, higher taxes on the line. so much so that it's been clear and made clear by almost everyone including president trump and donald trump jr. and vice president mike pence that people in georgia should turn out. tomorrow night, by the way, right here on the fox news channel, there'll be a georgia runoff debate special coverage starting at 6:45, hosted by martha maccallum. pete: that race is important. turning out the vote will be important. but so will making sure you have

armies of poll watchers and attorneys and plumbers on hand in case that pipe breaks in atlanta again and it could pause the count. you can do both things at one time, vote and be hawkish on trying to identify whether or not there is evidence of fraud and across the country. and as the affidavits roll in like an avalanche, as people put their lyes, their rep takes on the lewin by -- reputations on the line by signing sworn statements, listen, there were more votes counted than voting machines available. in georgia the mystery water main break, in arizona they surveyed a hundred random ballots and found 3% doomed father-in-law lent in favor of biden. in pennsylvania do we still know about the 288,000 ballots driven by a postal service contractor from new york to pennsylvania that was then stolen? how about in nevada where they've identified 43,000 voters that potentially voted twice? these kinds of irregularities

need answers, and they're outside the margins, they're outside the mar injib of the difference in a lot of these states making them very significant. you can continue to push the case, as the trump camp has, putting witnesses forward. we're going to have one on the program in just a few minutes, a whistleblower, talking about what they saw and at the same time ooh seek to maintain a senate majority. but it does come down to georgia. we had brett tolman on, a former federal prosecutor, you never know quite what he's going to say, but you know he'll be thoughtful about it because he's got a great amount of experience as a prosecutor. we asked about the video in georgia where they stopped the counting and seemed like some shenanigans, here's what he said. brett tolman. >> there is a spike in the statistics in terms of biden jumping ahead that correlates with the timing of the video. watching and observing it for hours, much of the video may not be problematic. but you certainly have enough that it concerns the governor, the secretary of state certainly

has the authority and is recertified. but if i'm watching that and i correlate the spike in votes that went predominantly to biden along with the affidavits, i'd file the lawsuit. and if you have confidence that nothing was wrong, they should certainly be okay with a signature audit on those ballots. jedediah: yeah. so, again, the georgia secretary of state says the representatives from there watched hours and hours and hours of video. we saw, you know, a 90-second club on social media, a lot of conclusions were drawn, and they have come out and said this is false and this is why, and i could go into detail, you know in observer's were not asked to leave, these are not suitcases, this is the time they were put urn the table, here's why. these items were scanned by a separate group of individuals because these were ballots already opened when all of the observe everiers were in the room, and they go on and on and on to talk about what happened here. pete, you mentioned that, you

know, we need answers. and i do agree with that point, that we need answers. and i think we're getting them. i think that, you know, you have 30 plus court cases that have been thrown out. that's not nothing. i think that there has to be, there has to be evidence brought to the table, and what you see trump-appointed judges, gop representatives here, you know, gabriel sterling, gop representatives in these statements, governors coming out and saying there's just no evidence to support this. and my question really is at this point if let's say you run are its course, you do recounts, another audit, it goes as far as it can go and there is no evidence of these things, will that be enough? because you already see the things that have been debunked but officials in these states that have come out and said this is not true, something president trump continues to put out there on his twitter feed that's false, that's a problem -- [inaudible conversations] pete: saying we've looked at a few things and, therefore, we've debunked it -- jedediah: it's length officials.

secretary of state aren't reporters though. pete: -- make sure their election looks aboveboard because they were in charge -- jedediah: election officials on both sides of the aisle, governors, trump- pete: -- here's the problem, there were observers pushed out of the room in there've -- in philadelphia, in atlanta. i was pushed out, yelled at, demeaned, i was told to observe from 20 feet away, and you can't just shock your head and say it didn't happen, you're saying that they lied -- jedediah: no, no, i'm just saying -- i'm not. pete: repeatedly the vote was stopped, the poll watchers were not allowed and then the vote spiked for biden. jedediah: that's not true. pete: and you look at the trend, it's a big problem. jedediah: that's not true. it's not up to you, ballots were being counted. i'm not in count. they didn't in and many cases,

but i'm not a judge in court. all i'm saying is this is what is being found in court which is where people should bring their case. bring your evidence, do it. if it's there, bring it. let's hear it. but that's not what's happened, that's all i'm saying. will: in that pursuit of truth, one of those can'ts will be brought to "fox & friends" in a whistleblower coming later in the show. i want to quickly, if i can, hit one more story this morning because it's important. for months we heard from speaker nancy pelosi she wasn't e interested in a big covid relief bill -- she was only interested in a big covid relief bill. she wasn't entered in a smaller bill. she told you why for months, october, november, why she was standing in the way of a relief bill. remember? >> [inaudible] >> perhaps you missed what i said earlier. joe biden committed to ending

and crushing the virus. what was then before was not or or -- measure of this. this has simplicity. it's what we had in our bill. it's for a shorter period of time, but that's okay now because we have a new president. don't characterize what we did before as a mistake, as a preface to your question. finish if you want an a answer. that was not a mistake, it was a decision, and it's taken us to a place where we can do the right thing without other, hall we say, considerations in the legislation that i we don't want. will: that was nancy pelosi on friday, pete, after months of saying and giving various reasons why a bill wouldn't be passed, she's now coming clean essentially in her own words, because now we have a new president, we're willing to look at a new deal. pete: yeah. it's so are predictable, it's almost boring. it was a decision. of course, being honest, it could have benefited president trump at the time. people are suffering, republicans repeatedly came to

the table saying ppp, different opportunities, we're willing to do it. now it's o.k. because she might have the person she prefers in the white house. we had representative anthony gonzalez who's a member of the problem solver caucus on the show earlier talk about a little politics. >> unfortunately, speaker pelosi decided to play politics with this. he had, i think, it was a $3 trillion that we voted on essentially two different times. anytime a bill comes to the floor with very few exceptions, you can predict pretty quickly whether it's going to become law or whether it's a messaging bill. those were messaging bills. it's unfortunate because people were really struggling, and she tipped her hand yesterday when she had her press conference. that's what held us back, in my opinion. now what's holding us back is, frankly, or our senate colleagues and the speaker. jedediah: yeah. she's despicable on this.

and, pete, you are right, republicans came to the table multiple times. she did not prioritize that. it looks like it's been highly political, and it's not the first time we've seen this from her. we just finished covering the story about her going into the hair salon and having a separate set of rules when it came to the masks which left everyone wondering is that a political talking point as well. she has been exposed on many counts, this being just the latest one. pete: all right. coming up, whistleblowers nationwide sharing their claims of election irregularity they witnessed firsthand. we'll hear from one michigan election observer who says she was pressured to submit a potentially fraudulent ballot. ♪ if ain't no stopping us now, we're on the go. ♪ ♪ ain't no stopping us now ♪ ♪ we made usaa insurance for veterans like martin.

adjudication table, the poll workers, one of them said i think i'm going to give it to the democrats. so that's when i got her supervisor because that was a spoiled ballot that should have been thrown out. and so i went to go get her supervisor, and her supervisor goes to her and says, well, what do you think. it was really grotesque because it's against the law. it doesn't matter what we think, the ballot should be thrown out. at that point i get the gentleman who's responsible for that portion of the absentee counting process at the tcf center, and he defers to her again after what she thinks, and i just simply asked, well, why not give it to the republican over the democrat? at that point the man began yelling at me, and we had an argument, and i'm like, no, the ballot should be thrown out, and he's telling her to push the ballot through. i challenge it, and me and him had an argument. he's like, no, tell her to push it through. and she counted that ballot for joe biden even though it should

be tossed out. a and a lot of people say, well, that was just one incident. i went to our gop lawyer right now, and they said this was just one incident. i'm a trained christian apologist, and one of the things we look at is what we call intelligent design. the reason why this is important is one of the hall a marks of design is if i just see travel letters thrown about arbitrarily, i don't think about it, but if they spell a word, you see this pattern of events across america, we're simply asking for an audit of the election in the state of michigan. we're not saying just believe us. no. we're asking for our legislative body in michigan to push an audit to be done to prove what we're saying. that's all we're asking. pete: absolutely. entirely reasonable. christina, we don't have that much time, but do you feel like republican poll watchers, challengers, are treated differently? you were in detroit with absentee ballots. how were you treated vis-a-vis

>> that's the point. jedediah: -- larry elder that we began the show with. [laughter] >> number one, larry eller is an absolute legend, and he's absolutely right. literally for the past four years we have seen the mainstream media lie about president trump, we have seen them cover up the good things that were happening, and we've seen so much stuff. look, we got russian collusion delusion, we had the very fine people smear, so that lie that president trump said nazis and white supremacists are, quote, very fine people, one of the biggest whoppers in american political history, and the list goes on and on and on. and one of president trump's many legacies, i think, is that he completely exposed the mainstream media. and the thing about it is you don't even need to be a republican to see this, you just need to be somebody that has a brain and engages in the critical thinking. it happens so often that it became so often and people know that the mainstream media will try to destroy republicans or republican candidates all the

time, so we don't trust them. pete: so interesting, rob -- will: we have had this conversation off camera a couple of times, did president trump create this insanity or expose it? i agree 100%, for anybody who's been in media, you know this kind of symptom existed before president trump. he just sort of shocked everybody out of their masks, right? they essentially took it off for president trump. >> oh, yeah, absolutely. look, i say that i'm a recovering journalist. look, i went to columbia university for journalismment i worked in all the mainstream media outlets, i know exactly what they do. i know the lie about cutting off a quote right before it starts to make it seem like it was something other than what it was. i know about deliberately tweeting things that are mess truths. this is -- mistruths. this is what they do, and i don't think people were as a aware of it before as they were during this entire trump administration. i am somebody that personally

got rentalled and that means became republican-leaning during this administration because it's so obvious that if you're a thinking person with a brain, you can't unsee it. pete: so true, rob. if you look at facebook or social media, you realize the level of bias and censorship there as well off the charts. but this most recent development from facebook, i gotta get your explanation for it. so facebook has said it's going to treat hate speech against whites, men and americans as low purity. so those are -- priority. those are low priority. here's the statement. we know that hate speech targeted towards underrepresented groups can be the most harmful which is why we have focused our technology on finding the hate speech that users and experts tell us is the most serious. so now facebook is in the business of saying certain hate speech really serious, but if you want to hate in the other direction, we're going to look the other way. >> look, i think what it says is, obviously, facebook and a

lot of the social media platform all hate speech is not created equal. i kind of understand where they're coming from, but at this point it really does just refrequent the kind of far -- reflect the kind of far left priorities that a lot of these companies have. for example, even if you can say, you know, something bad about a black person, you know, is bad, but if you talk badly about black conservatives, then nobody cares. it's, you know, the same thing happened with candace owens the other day when noah cyrus basically had a racial slur against her, and nobody cared. i think what these social media platforms need to do is realize all hate speech should be equal. i think that this really points out the nature of some of these platforms. and like i said, big tech needs to be regulated. this tough is an agenda, and it's just just going to keep on going unless we do things like

frustrated about this particularly because they've looked recently at gavin new. >> and other people -- gavin newsom and other leaders tell them to do things when they, in fact, have not followed those orders. what has been the reaction among los angeles residents to this new stay at home order? >> well, look, there's no doubt that we have an issue right now. we've seen coronavirus cases exploding in l.a. county and around the state, over 8,000 cases yesterday, hospitals are seeing record numbers of people being admitted with krone this virus -- coronavirus. the question is what is the most targeted way to deal with this. this new stay at home order really targets outdoor dining, hair and nail salons the most, essentially shut down by some of the orders that are going to go into place in the next few days from the governor. and the people in those industries are saying show me the specific evidence that my industry is leading to a massive coronavirus outbreak especially because many of these same

industries are the ones that spend a lot of money on ppe and spent a lot of money to come in compliance, and now they're facing the possibility of having to lose their business right before the holiday season. that's where i think a lot of the frustration is. there has been mixed messaging on this. you mentioned some of the admitted hypocrisy by some of the leaders in this state, and so that is leading to some of the frustration and the confusion going forward. everybody believes we've gotted to do something, the big debate is what should we do. jedediah: you know, we're looking at those photos right now, and those photos were released by fox 11. you guys got the scoop on that and were the first to release the images that really sent waves trout the nation as people -- trout -- throughout the nation as people realized, hey, what's going on here? upon release of that though in the immediate aftermath, what did you see and hear from people

in. >> i mean, look, there's a lot of confusion if other a lot of these orders, and there is a feeling of do as i say not as i do, and that is something that i asked governor newsom directly in one of these press briefings, what do you say to people who say this is an example of do what i say not what i do, and he awe e poll eyesed for this. he said what he did was wrong, he said i made a mistake, i'm never going to do this again, and he tried to move forward. he admitted this could be problematic for him in terms of the moral authority of trying to get people to comply. the most blatant example of this was sheila kuehl who's an l.a. county supervisor who voted to shut down outdoor dining saying that it was dangerous and dangerous for the wait staff, and then within a few hours of making that vote went to go eat outdoors. [laughter] at a restaurant. she has not really apologized for it. and this was before the ban went into place. she said she wanted to deliver

the news personally, and she sat for a meal. so she sort of had a different approach to the governor. and then the question, one of the other big issues is sort of enforcement of these potential issues, you know? some of the sheriffs throughout the state of california, including the sheriff of l.a. county and riverside county, have both basically said, look, we're not going to enforce this. we don't believe in a lot of this. but some of the restaurants have been targeted by health officials already who have defied some of this and are seeing their licenses pulled. and so they, even the ones that were trying to say we're going to stay open are now shutting down. jedediah: yeah. and it also feels very arbitrary to people. a rot of people -- a lot of people are saying where is the science on eliminating outdoor dining? has outdoor dining been proven to be a sup super-spreader? -- super-spreader. >>? i just don't see evidence of that. >> right. jedediah: no one wants to see this virus spread, so of course

tree to you, so they're going to work hard to make sure that it's fresh, it feels good and smells great. will: looking at the bottom of your tip sheet there, george, give the bottom a fresh cut. i'm going to combine that with my question, give us the best tip for keeping it alive, and is it a straight cut? that always seems to be the debate, is it an angled cut? what do do you do? >> just a straight consistent, it can be just a half an inch off the bottom. the water will uptake just underneath the bark. don't drill holes, that's hardwood. that layer or right inside the bark is where the water's going to take up. so that little fresh cut opens up those pores to make sure it's not sealed over with sap. and they'll drink quite a bit of water, especially the first 5-7 days. jedediah: george, how long do they really last? i remember buying a tree one year, and it kind of went brown

knows that better than vice president pence who came here yesterday to rally with senators purdue and loeffler pleading with georgians to get out and vote. listen. >> between now and when the polls close on january 5 we need you to vote. my fellow americans, if you don't vote, they win. griff: how close are the races? look at this , dead-even, purdue and osoff separated by two-tenth s of a point and a half a point separates loeffler and warnock, the democrats leaving nothing to chance getting a virtual boost from former president obama. watch. the promise of the biden presidency and the harris vice president say rests in part on their ability to have a cooperative posture with congress. griff: this , as the president's legal team continues their legal fight in georgia filing a new lawsuit challenging the state's certification and earlier in the

day, fulton county resetter it tied their results for the third time and they rejected the trump team alleged was evidence of illegal ballot counting and let me just give you a little anecdote of being here in georgia. you ride around in a car, you can not turn on a radio station without hearing ads for the purdue and loeffler races more than $315 million combined between the campaigns and outside groups have already been spent, and i suspect president trump is going to be talking a lot about it when he gets here tonight. will, pete, jed? pete: griff jenkins you are no snowflake we appreciate you always on this program, thank you and the president is going down there to do two things at one-time, he's going to do everything he can on that senate race to make sure the republican s hold the majority because so much is at stake regardless of which way the white house goes, but he also continues to litigate, and you know, we've got bill bennett is going to be on the program shortly, we had brett tullman on earlier, a very well thought of attorney, who knew the attorneys

that are putting part of this case together, and said there's enough evidence in that video that was pointed tok say that things were not the way handled the way they should have been. whether or not those are ballots that were correctly filled out or not, what we know is that for an hour, at least, election observers were not allowed back in and then they were, and republicans were not allowed back in even longer, and it brings up the question, hundreds of whistleblowers across the country, making these cases, putting their credibility on the line. we used to love whistleblowers. whistleblowers were put up on committee stands and held up as heros, and now, they're told to go sit in the corner by the so-called mainstream press which has no interest in looking into the actual reality of irregularities. we do on this program and we asked christina caramo, an election observer for michigan, in detroit if she observed fraud and as a republican was she treated equally and here is what she said. >> i did watch with my own two eyes other people being thrown out. i did witness with my own two eyes one particular observer,

the worker was shielding his body over the duplication process and he was, the poll counter was very politely asking , can i see , can i see and he was being denied access and there were two other witnesses there to this but there's a bunch of claims this is not arbitrary. these are not irregularities or a clerical error. no, this is fraud and it needs to be investigated. jedediah: yeah, and so we've seen these claims made and these claims should be made before a court, and these people should be heard and evidence should be either shown or not, and a decision should be made. that video as we know as i've said several times now the secretary of state's office looked at over and over again and they're saying everything is above dashboard and gone through a step by step process of explaining why that's the case and saying observers were not told to leave the room, they had the freedom to leave or to stay , that includes republicans and democrats and they could have come back in at any point, and keep in mind all of this is on a video, hours and hours and hours of video that the

secretary of state's office, you know, local news divisions, have been able to watch, to assess because the bottom line is everyone wants to figure out what's going on here and make sure this is an aboveboard process. i wanted to shift over quickly though too because we have a promo, the georgia runoff debate special coverage tomorrow 6:45 p.m. and just say this senate race is extremely important as a check to the biden administration. if you're concerned about policies that could come through a biden administration, whatever that issue may be, essentially, the senate is the only way to check that at this point, so if people are concerned and listen ing to talking points of, you know, the election is rigged there's no point in voting, the election is not rigged. you need to get out and vote in georgia if you want to put a check on that power your vote matters, georgia election officials are reminding you over and over again your vote matters ronna mcdaniel of the rnc is reminding you your vote matters, pence is out there telling you that your vote matters.

your vote matters so it will make a big difference and if republicans lose that senate i don't know what's going to be coming down the pike in terms of policy so it's a very important election. will: couple points you two had a conversation, ongoing conversation this morning about those alleged instances of fraud in georgia and a this nation, what i would say is i don't know , i don't know the validity or the dismissal of any of those particular instances. i do agree with you, pete, i'm not going to rely on politicians , or for that matter , journalists who submissively or wholeheartedly dismiss or wave their hands at these claims and i am going to defer to the courts and that's where jedediah you brought up there have been lawsuits at the trump campaign continuously. now the trump campaign says they want to go to the supreme court. they want to take these issues to the supreme court and that still looms out there. i do think we'll have to take each one of these very seriously , hundreds, as you point out of whistleblowers, including one of this program a little bit earlier, we'll listen to that and we'll see how it shakes out in their ultimate legal claims which should arrive at the supreme court at some

point. pete: one of the things it's not just that your vote counts which of course is true but who counts your vote counts, and whose watching the vote counts and we'll see if we get to the bottom. will: jedediah you're absolutely right the importance of those georgia senate races cannot be overstated they will absolutely determine the future of this country. all right, meanwhile, it cohen compass things like the colding, shutdowns across this country, including like seemingly arbitrary and cruel rules in the state of california. this is angela marsen, owner of pineapple salon and grill and she will point out the absolute arbitrariness of shutting her down versus allowing others to exist in california. watch this. >> this is my place, the pineapple grill and saloon. if you go to my page you can see all of the work i did for outdoor dining and i walked into my parking lot and obviously, mayor garcetti has approved this.

has approved this being setup for a movie company. everything i own is being taken away from me, and they setup a movie company right next to my outdoor patio. tell me that this is dangerous but right next to me as a slap in my face that's safe. this is safe? pete: amen. there's no science to follow here the movie company presumably has lots of lawyers and lobbyists and can get away with everything they need while average business owners who have worked really really hard to try to follow the science, which keeps shifting and is very selective, they know how to keep customers safe and they pop-up a tent nearby, the contrast cannot be anymore stark. jedediah: and think about that woman's reality. she has to look at that. she has to stare at that and see that hypocrisy in front of her face every single day.

there is no evidence that i have seen that outdoor dining is a problem in terms of spreading this virus or being a super- spreader of it. businesses have proven over and over again that they're able to do outdoor dining safely and its been the only means they've been able to sustain their businesses in several months. this is deeply disturbing and i think people should pay attention to the emotion in her voice because this is an emotional issue whether or not you can put food on the table for your family that is about emotion. people have had enough and to see this kind of hypocrisy and have her and the likes of her have to look at that every day, that's just appalling what's going on. will: what she's looking at every day is her business killed while others are allowed to exist. all right, we're going to turn now to a few additional headlines for you starting with this fox news alert. new video coming into our news room showing a massive church fire in new york city. look at that. the middle collegiate church nearly destroyed by flames more than 100 firefighters rushed to the scene and spending hours to put out the flames and started

jedediah: president trump is heading down to georgia today to rally support for the republican candidates ahead of the january runoff this comes as the rnc ram s their staffing in the peach state telling fox news they've committed to spending at least $20 million in the peach state in support of senator cottons kelly loeffler and david perdue. here to tell us more rnc chair woman ronna mcdaniel. so ronna, welcome to the show and let's take a look quickly at the rnc efts in georgia and get your reaction to the contacts in a week, 500-plus staffers and a vow by the rnc to spend at least $20 million, so, if you wouldn't mind if you could take this moment to speak to georgia voters about the importance of this election and why they should vote, and what kind of efforts you've been putting into making sure that happens. >> well, absolutely, and the vice president was there yesterday, the president's going today and the message is we are fighting for the president and we want to make sure that we see

that through, but we need to keep our majority in the senate, and if you want to have a check on chuck schumer and democrats and what they will do to stack the supreme court and get rid of the filibuster, and embrace the green new deal and destroy our economy and destroy the country we love, we need to make sure we send republicans to the senate and keep that majority. jedediah: you know, ronna i watched i believe a press conference i'm not exactly sure what it was last week, i believe it was last saturday and you had gotten some pushback from georgia voters who were essentially saying why should we bother voting if its already been decided and you pushed back and said it has not been decided an honest question here, has the president's messaging at all with respect to the election being rigged or stolen, has it impacted the georgia race? are you concerned that georgia voters will not come out and vote because they deem that the race is already decided and what do you have to say on that count? >> well i think the voters very much support the president.

i think they're concerned with the state and how they'd administer the election and see ing things like we saw in fulton county where i know from the georgia gop chair that they were told to leave fulton county , that the observers were no longer needed that they were going to stop counting for the night and continued to count without observers. these are the types of things. the signatures not being audited , these are things the governor called for and voters are very upset this has not happened in the presidential race; however, they want to make sure we keep david perdue and kelly loeffler in as well and they can balance both. we can walk and chew gum at the same time and we need to support the president's efforts to make sure that we follow through on this election in georgia and inconsistencies and things we've seen and especially the signature matching but we can also make sure we get out and turn out the vote for kelly and david and this january 5 special election. jedediah: obviously the secretary of state has pushback on some of those allegations and said that everything was aboveboard and

that video that was released they vouched for double signature verification in georgia and they want to reassure people the election is not rigged because they want people to come out and vote particularly in these runoffs but i want to ask you about the $207.5 million raised by the trump campaign and the rnc since election day. to what do you think you can attribute, that's a pretty big number when people look at it. what do you attribute that to mostly? >> i think americans across this country are frustrated. they saw our poll obamaers not able to watch in places like philadelphia, and georgia, and michigan. they have seen inconsistencies across the country and they support this president and they're passionate about it and that's why we are pursuing all of these challenges. you know, it's funny that four years ago, democrats had a hashtag "not my president" and they attacked us as at the inauguration and they attacked my 13-year-old daughter and spit on her for wearing a trump shirt democrats boycotting the inauguration and the obama administration had started a

wanted to bring some hope to these families and i think it's a responsibility for americans to say to these families that have their husband's or wives go out and protect our community , police officers and firefighters that when they go out and give their kids a kiss goodbye and if they don't come home we'll take care of their families and tunnel to towers foundation is exactly what we're asking everybody to come together to do so asking everyone to donate $11 a month to tunneltotowers.org, and we can take care of these families and we're delivering 36 mortgage -free homes like you just said from thanksgiving to new years eve, but there's so many more that have to be helped and that's why we're asking, we're begging that you join us on this mission, because they all deserve to have that peace of a roof over their heads and not worried about the biggest bill that they have every month after losing their loved one. will: right their mortgage, 36 as you point out that includes three smart homes for injured

veterans six homes for gold star families 27 mortgage pay off for the family of fallen respond ers, phillip would love to go to you now so this includes what is it five chicago fallen officers who will be recipients of this as well, the families of those officers. i believe we have the names and pictures here we can take a look at as you tell us what this means, it's samuel jimenez, edwardo mamaleho, conrad gary, others, who are, whose families will be helped out through tunnels to towers, what does this mean to chicago and its police officers? >> first of all, three of the officers are from the chicago police, the other two are from surrounding chicago areas, but last week, frank gave us the material to go out to these three houses and let these widows know that their mortgage has been paid, and they were just thrilled because that's a huge burden on them. it's so important that we keep them in the loop. they want to be part of the police department still. next weekend, we're going out

for our annual operation santa. there is 17 families who have 24 kids in school that we're going to have santa stop at each house and drop-off gifts and it means so much to the families to show that we haven't forgotten them. will: those state troopers are up on the screen gerald wayne and christopher lambert which they join the families being helped out by tunnel to towers. frank, it's really cool what you're doing you guys have obviously expanded the first responder families you're helping. i would imagine, as you point out, many people out there would like to help out it's tunnelto towers.org, and this continues as you point out not just chicago, not just police officers but first responders and their families out across the nation, frank? >> yes it's all across america, and firefighters to show my brother is a firefighter that died on september 11, 2001 when he strapped 60 pounds of gear on his back and run through a tunnel to get to the towers while saving others he gave up his life and this is what our great men and women in uniform

whether it's serving overseas or here or our communities, do every day for us. we have to let their families know that we're going to take care of them, that if something happens we're going to take care of them and we're doing that. people are make a donation and see where their money goes. it goes to pay off their mortgage. you make a donation, $11 a month and you know that that money is going to go to pay off somebody 's heros mortgage. i mean, i think it's a great thing that we can, as americans, make a contract with these families. they are willing to die for us god forbid that happens, we're willing to make sure they don't have that burden of a mortgage. will: exactly do our best to take care of their families after all they've given to us after they're gone. frank siller and phillip kline thank you so much for your time this morning. >> we encourage people to go to our website and see what we're doing. will: thank you so much appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you. will: coming up president trump heads to georgia today ahead of two all-important senate races in the midst of his legal fight

to kelly loeffler and purdue and encourages everyone to go out and vote whatever they may think is wrong with november but in regard to november, i remain a skeptic, i'm not going to be singing this tune for four years , i don't want to sound like a democrat and never never give up but i believe this election was fixed, was controlled by a lot of democratic operatives, and you know, a couple simple questions. one, apart from the episodic events so the very persuasive woman you had on from wayne county, i think, detroit, talking about being bullied into putting someone in the democrat column. i'm interested in systematic corruption here that took place. there are just too many statistical anomalies. if you look at the probabilities here, the votes are coming in, trump is leading, then it kind of evens out and then some tranches come in and i think this is in disputable, in

the middle of the night, where the vote is 95 for biden, 5 or 10 for trump this just doesn't make sense mathematically or in terms of the world as we know it and hads are we to believe that in these inner city neighborhoods that joe biden out performed barack obama in terms of percentage of the vote? more popular with the inner city than barack obama, when we know that donald trump made tremendous gains in the inner city vote but then just a simple question. if everything is fine in fulton county why do you need to have a black cloth covering these ballots? a black cloth you can't see through? doesn't that seem a little odd, a little unusual? why do you have to tell people to leave and then remove the black cloth? i'm sorry, i know these official s have said everything is fine, don't look there, you know, who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes? i'm going to believe my own eyes and we've heard enough by public

officials over the last six months, you know, about this danger and that danger and relax, everything is fine and then a change of direction. i'm sorry i'm not buying it. let's let the process play out and i know jedediah is happy with the court's findings and wants this thing to end. we all want it to end. last point, this is a divided country, a very divided country. if we're going to get this thing resolved and resolved to most people's satisfaction, i don't think it's ever going to be to everybody's, you've got to let this thing play out all the way through. final final point. i want to look into those machines. i want to look into that dominion voting machine, they have resisted anyone looking into it on grounds that it's proprietary. i think there's a problem there. jedediah: bill quickly just because you referenced me and dh s looked into those dominion machines which were in 28 states some of which the president won, but you know, i think a lot of people i don't think it's a rush to want it to end. i think people are just

objectively, myself included, looking at the court cases, evaluating them, being honest about what's being alleged in court versus what's being alleged on social media, listen ing to secretaries of state, republicans that are in many of these localities that are am coming out saying listen, we're looking at hour upon hour of video and this is what's happening and this is why it's happening. trump appointed judges this just doesn't seem to be a big left wing conspiracy and you have many republican officials on record including many members of trump's legal team in court who are not alleging these things, let alone proving them, so i think it's just a factual assessment of what's going on. if there's more evidence, let's see it, but as of now, we have not seen enough evidence to say that this election has been stolen. >> i'm sorry i don't agree. there's circumstantial evidence. a lot of circumstantial evidence and you can take it to court and we're not done yet, but you know , we went for three years and the challenges to donald trump's election, can we just go another month?

is that okay? can we just look at everything and be as sure as we possibly can that this thing was fine? but there's plenty of evidence. it's called statistical evidence it's called probabilities, it's called anomalies. 18 of 20 bellweather counties voted for donald trump. these are the counties that always predict the president and yet, it didn't happen in this case. if you look hard at these facts it's just hard to ignore the idea that something went fundamentally wrong. in terms of a conspiracy on the left, i'm a lot older than you are jedediah, i know the left. i used to hang with the left in college. hate to admit it but i did. they will do anything, because they think that we are awful, we are wrong, we are evil, they are right, and they know what's good for us. will: bill i think many americans share your skepticism as you pointed out earlier most polls suggest most americans look at this election not just those on the right, by the way, but a significant percentage of those on the left look at this election, and raise their

eyebrows at the very least. you talk about why those eyebrows are raised. your conclusion, bill, is then let's let the process play out. help me see what process, beyond the legal process, would you like to see play out? you said you don't want to be a democrat and let this go on for four years as well so describe the process for me, please. >> well a full airing, you know , justice brandise said sunlight is the best disinfectant let's not sweep away all of this. these dominion machines have been looked at by some people but not other people and looked at by interested parties and by the proprietors of these machines but let's have full disclosure here. the court system here is a problem and i'll admit it's a problem. if you want a case in a court of law talk to any serious litigator he will tell you it takes six months, a year, a year and a half, to make a case. these guys, guilani and others are under incredible time pressure but do what you can and keep the appeals coming and keep

uncovering whatever evidence there is and then, if we get it settled and nobody can establish it i think its already been established, then a lot of the country will go along, but just keep the process going. i think if we didn't have so many people saying that it's a threat to democracy, shut it down, stop, get over it, i think i'd feel better about it. that's the court of public opinion, and public opinion is crucial here for next couple of years. if you want civil peace and concord, you'd better let this thing play out. will: there you go dr. bill bennett thank you so much for your time this morning we appreciate it. always love having you. >> my pleasure, thank you. jedediah merry christmas. jedediah: merry christmas to you too. >> thank you. pete: turning now to your fox news alert, iran hands over power to his son because his health is deteriorating an iranian journalist reports the ayatollah reports he was supposed to meet with iran's

president today but was canceled because of his condition and his exact health issue is unclear at this moment and served as iran's supreme leader since 1989 big development just learning about it right now, i'm sure we'll un pack it more today or tomorrow. will: that is big news up next, joey jones paid a huge sacrifice while serving overseas losing both legs in combat and now his incredible story is being told in pete's new book, which is a new york times best seller, " modern warriors", joey jones next, after the break. i'm greg, i'm 68 years old. i do motivational speaking in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

pete: my brand new book "modern warriors: real stories from real heros" just debuted on the new york times best seller list as well as the wall street journal and it highlights men who have sacrificed everything on the battlefield including fox news contributor and retired marine corps staff sargent joey jones who joins us now, thank you very much for being here and for being in the book it was a

no-brainer of course for you to be included. you've also been a part of our show on fox nation modern warriors where we sit down and just talk about the issues of the day. as you're talking to other vets and other modern warriors, what are the issues that come to the surface for you? >> absolutely, pete, thanks for having me on and thanks for having me in the book and what i'll say when you guys were introducing me earlier, yes i lost my legs in combat and it was a big deal but it wasn't something i did on purpose. i would say in the book probably the most important part that i have to say is talking about my dad teaching me what hard work is as a brick mason and understanding that he created a business with his back and hands created a job and a career in the way to feed our families and i think veterans right now, have been sold on this idea that this is a life-long commitment with the government and i think a lot of them are getting handicapped in what they go through after the military, because the narrative now is so confusing. i mean, from a recruiter to the commercials from the non-profit

on tv, veterans are being told they're a victim and don't have control of their own destiny and now more than ever they do because the economy reals from this virus, they are going to need leadership and people that aren't worried about staying late and getting the job done before they go home. pete: such a great point and important point. you mentioned veterans when they're home and the book talks a lot about that as well. you share your stories and you also talk i'll tease this , but what it's like to be a bomb tech whenever are where you go, you're the guy standing on top of the bomb and just feeling that it's just a matter of time right? it's an amazing look into the psychology of the battlefield so check out joey's chapter in modern warrior s but i want to ask you about veterans unemployment you talked about it, it was up to 6.3% in november, you do vets charity work talk to me about that number and things you're involved with. >> yeah, i'm going to speak tonight at an organization called operation uniform and the entire organization is geared towards helping veterans transition into the business world after service and when

people ask me what's the number one issue with veterans today, they think i'll say suicide or ptsd or va, and what i always tell them is transition, because that's a mindset. it's a perspective you can control, so even if the va is picking up the phone and even if your buddy committed suicide yesterday and you're starting to have those thoughts if you can get the right help which is necessary, but if you can find perspective which is what solving those problems is, then when it comes to finding a job and being successful after service, well you're happy again so you can find that success, so all the veterans out there let me tell you this is an opportunity for you to go out and impress the business world and the job market because you're going to look for hard working people like yourself that don't complain about things like staying an extra hour and getting the mission completed, which is probably where a lot of americans are right now. pete: that's true they show up on time and you talk about perspective and it's also that next chapter of purpose for sure joey your event, i have it there

, omu vets.org, and joey thank you so much for being here good luck tonight. >> absolutely, thank you. pete: i love it in-person event. we used to do that, remember? up next, when the bell rings tonight at the boxing's biggest fight of the year, former two- division champ danny garcia will go head-to-head with unified weight champ spencer jr. and when we look ahead to the big fight with the man whose been in the ring with both of these fighters, showtime, shawn porter coming up >> ♪ ♪

night and do what i do best. pete: we're just hours out from boxing's biggest fight of the year between former two- division champ danny garcia and unified weight champ errol spence jr.. will: spence jr. is back for his first fight after a horrific car crash last october and when the bell rings tonight, he's looking for them to go toe to to e, so let's ask someone whose shared the ring with both of these men, boxing analyst showtime shawn porter, shawn what's up? good to see you this morning. let's do it this way if errol were entering this fight before the car crash, it was errol spence at his top against danny garcia, how would it go down? >> i'd be with the rest of the world understanding that errol spence will control the fight beginning-to-end. i just don't know if that's going to be the case now, but i mean, prior to the accident and every way, shape and form and even now he's got better speed,

better power, better skills, better boxing ability, and i think it would have been a very tough fight for danny garcia. still may very well be, we just don't to for sure until after the first round. pete: shawn as someone whose been in the ring with both of these men and you may in the future get back in and you're now analyzing what are you looking for in the first few minutes like what are the indicators that give you a sense of how the fight might go? >> well there's two things for danny garcia, one part of boxing that people overlook is the game planning and the preparation it's not just running and sparring and you go to the fight and you win or lose it's game planning understanding your opponent when he's going to move, how he's going t move and from danny garcia i want to see what your game plan is and what your strategy is in trying to beat errol spence jr. and then honestly for errol spence i just want to see the real old errol spence jr. that was in the ring with me, prior to the accident and if i come out, if e

rrol comes out and he's tenacious, aggressive, and he's throwing punches and moving a lot like he used to he's 100% like hi says he is. will: shawn many people talked about boxing what's wrong with boxing and what are the big stars and the names what is the great fight. this is an answer to that i think. errol spence jr. is a big star, danny garcia is underrated and it's an easy prediction to say this should probably be a really good fight but i don't want you to do easy predictions, shawn, don't just tell me it's going to be a good fight. tell me what's going to happen. >> it's definitely going to be a great fight and this is the one thing that's happening now with the world is even though boxing is moving into another era of greatness people have been used to that in boxing and i think it's time for people to really get a good understanding of who we are and what we do. not just especially in my

division we're six, almost 10 of us that be a world champion in any given time. will: but shawn, who wins tonight? that's what i was asking >> oh, so here is the thing. i'm on a live tweet my prediction after the first round i just really wanted to see that first round and i wanted to see errol spence jr. be errol spence jr. and i want to see what danny garcia is going to do. i don't think it's going to take more than one round to know whose going to win the fight. will: it's on pay-per-view. pete: showtime shawn porter thank you so much. more "fox & friends" moments away. >> ♪ ♪
