minutes. it will be a short all day holiday christmas party. pete: is this an invite? will: absolutely. always an invitation to both of you. jedediah: he is excited. will: i am thrilled. his eyes lit up. pete: in the park at 10:00. jedediah: it is interesting. we talked about the way the life has changed with covid-19, with lockdowns of all the orders. when the holidays come around, you realize the impact of that. not only with the own gatherings in your home, you're right, will, of holiday parties. seeing posts on social media people say, remember how life used to be and throw back photos. there was time we gathered together comfortably in a different way. they hope that time will return. pete: i always bring my "a" game to the christmas party. will: you do? pete: i do. will: i bring my "a" game to any

party that starts early, college football, whatever party starts noonish. pete: that will be today. there is some football. i was walking upstairs, walked through the office, walked through the "watters' world" area, they have candy cain tootsie pops. did you know that was a thing? will: i didn't. pete: tastes like a candy cane. pretty good. thank you for being with us on this sunday morning december 6th. we began with the senate showdown in georgia. kelly loeffler will debate rafael warnock ahead of the georgia runoff. after the president rallyied support from republicans. fox news jillian mele ahead of tonight's debate. good morning. reporter: a lot is at stake, a battle over who gets control of the senate rests in the hands of georgia voters.

runoffs with kelly loeffler, rafael warnock, jon ossoff and david perdue is close. he was rallying the crowd. as he always does, there was a lot of people there his message was people have to get out and vote because a lot is at stake. listen to the president. president trump: steak in the election is the control of u.s. senate. that means control of this country. people will determine writes every piece of legislation, controls every single -- reporter: here is why people outside of georgia needs to care what goes on in georgia. if democrats would take both seats the senate is divided 50-50 as kamala harris tie-breaking vote. that means democrats would control the senate, house and white house. they will make their pitches to voters. jon ossoff will be up against an

empty podium. david perdue declined invitation to debate with the campaign manager said we had two debates in the election. we'll take our message what is at stake, if democrats have total control of congress directly to the people. the people in georgia have certainly seeing those messages. so far hundreds of millions of dollars in ad spending has been spent from inside of georgia, across the country. these are gearing up to be two of the most expensive senate races in history. our coverage starts tonight at 6:45 p.m. with martha maccallum. stay tuned for that. full breakdown tomorrow morning. there will be a lot to talk about from here in georgia. will: jillian, good sufficient. thank you so much. we're on to another big story. it is this, 27 million across california under strict coronavirus orders to stay home for at least three weeks. jedediah: the governor's lockdown takes effect at midnight for the southern

california and san joaquin rally regions. icu bed capacity flipping below the 15% threshold. in pasadena volunteers patrol the streets to make sure people are wearing face coverings. will: volunteer patrols. san mateo county, near the bay area will not enforce the new lockdown. it will work with the community to take extra precautions to slow the spread. as of 11:59 tonight, california goes into lockdown, guys. these volume steer patrols count me as skeptical, they will have much efficacy. if you have thrown into jfk, laguardia, as i have recently, volunteers say sign up for a big government database they can track you regardless where you been, a lot of people skipping the volunteer line. we'll see ultimately how effective something like that is, if people listen to it. will: whether or not they're effective pete, i find it a scary step, that government is asking people to do to spy on

each other, report on each other. we'll always reiterate as we should, jedediah, we'll take coronavirus seriously, we'll be smart, protective of our families and fellow citizens, what i find fascinating set aside for the hypocrisy which we focus on absurdity of stay at home videos of mayors from cabo, going to fancy restaurants like french laundry while selling citizens to stay at home. set aside the hypocrisy and set aside the rules, some people use coronavirus as virtue signal. another chance to be better than your fellow citizen, to show you're more enlightened asking people to take to the streets to report on each other is another example. i know these people, you met them, sometimes they're you're friend and family. i look at people in the grocery store i scowl, say something, we're turning on each other. we're doing it totally divorced from real science.

now divorcing ourselves from sensibility. jedediah: you're talking about the fines there. one thing i've seen people pointing out who live in these areas, particularly in southern california they don't really understand the stay at home order. for example, if you look at it you look retail can be open at 20% but a lot of people who own businesses there in other industries, for example i have a friend that owns a facial spa. i'm force odd close but i'm seeing people outdoors most of the time. if not seeing one person at a time in my facility. full in ppe. i have face shield, face masks does that really make sense? there is a lot of confusion about it. you have playgrounds that are closed. that is outdoor, that involves kids who are not super spreaders. you're out ad h side in the open-air. weather in southern california is quite nice. flocking to the outdoors is something people have done. does that make sense? a lot of people are questioning it, particularly the business

owners we've seen that come up when it comes to outdoor dining over and over again. obviously there is, you know, serious situation going on because of the icu beds. this stay at home order was put into effect when the icu bed capacities go below 15%. in southern california they're at 12.5%. no one is denying there is an issue. i understand the impulse on the part of political leadership say what do we do? we have to do something. make it make sense. people don't understand it. it is very hard for them to get behind something if they're looking at industries this seems like an arbitrary decision. this just doesn't have science behind it. why are we doing this? that is the biggest theme i seen emerge throughout, not only southern california but california at this moment. pete: top down mandates trickle down to things that make no common sense there is space for common sense. it's a certain box, certain area, certain check, you're closed, you're open. the tent for the movie company

and the not for the restaurant. no sense being applied. one institution is applying common sense, sheriff departments. one sheriff of the chad bianco of the riverside california sheriff's department. he is ripping into the stay at home orders in a video on youtube. here is what he had to say. >> dictatorial attitude towards california residents, dining in luxury, traveling, keeping his business open sending his kid to in person private schools is telling about attitude toward california residents. these stay at home orders is flat-out ridiculous. he is expecting us to arrest anyone violate the orders, cite them, take their money, close their businesses, make them stay in their home, take away their civil liberties or he will punish all of us. riverside county sheriff's office will not be blackmailed, bullied or used as riverside county residents in enforcement of the governor's orders. pete: good for them.

departments stepping up we'll not spy on people in their homes. we'll not be the mask police. we'll stick to the core institution and jobs we have. we don't have time to get to it as well, we forget this is not economic -- we don't forget we should be reminded these businesses are not being shut down because something they did. the government is telling these businesses to be closed. as a result the economic impact falls on the government to make due on it. there is a new editorial in boston points out the obvious. we'll get to later as well. the fact that they're now talking about a smaller covid-19 relief bill, nancy pelosi is, is reeks of the political nature of this when you should just be finding a way to deliver and they never did, will. will: no, they never did. we're seeing government make rules that crush businesses, crush spirits, turn the citizenry on each other. hypocritely don't follow their own rules. now you see some in government, in sheriffs departments or perhaps in congress say enough is enough.

pete: we're at that point. we'll turn now to a few additional headlines this morning. at least one person is arrested after fight break out between president trump supporters and counterprotesters in olympia, washington.

film crew? your take on all of that? >> jed, rules for thee, not for me. reminds me of something we're seeing actually if you're in new york right now at 1211 sixth avenue fox news studios across the street is "saturday night live," they film at 30 rock. and, "snl" is allowed to have a studio awed wednesday every week for their live shows. why is that? when you see a bar owner like this, who, same thing, right? right across the street, sees exceptions being given for celebrities, for hollywood, but then she can't actually earn a living. jedediah: i want to read you, l.a. mayor eric garcetti weighed in on this, gave a statement to "the new york times" t agitated me. i will read it. my heart goes out to miss mars ten and worker at pineapple hill saloon. no one likes restrictions i do

closed already. now we're getting into the cold weather season. so you can expect thousands more to close. these poor people have nowhere to turn. yeah, i get it in terms of the cases spiking and icu beds and the whole situation with that but you can't give exceptions because people see that these owners of these restaurants, it is hardest business ever to suck set in. most fail even in normal times, not even give them pa shot, give them an option, give exceptions to other people, i'm sorry it's a whole bowl of wrong, jed. jedediah: yeah. you're bringing in new york. i'm so glad you did that because we're talking about california now because that is where the stay at home order is, this is happening on both coasts. it is ridiculous. there is finally backlash against politicians because people are saying, you know, you told us we needed to do this because of medical reasons. we would have been on board but there is it separate set of rules. is this about the science or is this about politics or something else? thank you, joe, for being here and talking about this yesterday. we appreciate it as always.

with a program like this, all we're doing is absolutely rewarding illegal behavior and then we're simply kicking the can down the road. listeners need to understand, daca does not give the individuals legal status. it simply says you will remain in limbo while congress fails to act. absolutely goes back to congress. pete: the trump administration has not kicked the can on border security. instead erected hundred of miles of border wall. now a court overnight just approved the administration's using of $3.6 billion in military money for wall construction. again, that was, deemed controversial at at the moment. the court says it is okay. what is your take? >> our position this is absolute legal funding to build extremely important part of our multilayer strategy, the wall. we have 423 miles of wall

system, pete that has been built. the army corporation of engineers and cpb for the past two years, we've been at it, as we said all along we are confident we'll get 450 miles by the end of this year in strategic locations. we'll hit that hard. jedediah: thanks so much, mark. we appreciate your thoughts as always. pete: thank you, mark. >> thanks. jedediah: coming up bernie sanders says democrat victories in the georgia senate races would open the door for joe biden to be the most progressive president in history. stuart varney is here to break down what that would mean for the economy. but first a classic kids toy is getting a makeover to remind adults of the things they love. we're taking a look at play-doh for adults. you heard that right. ♪. allstate has almost as many ways to save as there are cars.

"fox & friends" first host jillian mele is live in atlanta previewing tonight's big debate. reporter: that's right, good morning. the battle who gets control of the senate right now rests in the hands of georgia voters who until tomorrow to register to vote with early in-person voting beginning on december 14th. time is winding down rather quickly. the runoff between kelly loeffler, rafael warnock, david perdue and jon ossoff are close and extremely competitive. let's look at some video where president trump was in the peach state rallying supporters ahead of the runoff election. a done of people were in the

crowd. they were extremely fired up. he had a message to tell people to get out to vote because a lot is at stake. president trump: very simply you will decide whether your children will grow up in a socialist country or whether they will grow up in a free country. i will tell you this, socialist is just the beginning for these people. reporter: now if democrats are able to take both seats the senate would then be decided with a 50-50 split with kamala harris as the tie-breaking vote. democrat was control the house, the senate and the white house. as for the debate tonight, loeffler and warnock make pitches to voters. john ossoff as of right now will be up against an empty podium. david perdue declined the invitation to debate with his campaign manager releasing this statement saying quote, we've already had two debates in this election. we're going to take our message about what is at stake if democrats have total control of congress directly to the people. now as to exactly how that is going to go down, there will be

three rounds and closing statements. one of the rounds ossoff will have an opportunity to ask questions to the empty podium. we're going to hear from the chair of the debate committee for the atlanta press club in the next hour. meantime, hundreds of millions of dollars in ad spending has been spent here from both inside of the state of georgia and all across the country. these are gearing up to be two of the most expensive races in senate history with just 30 days until january 5th. our coverage starts to night at 6:45 p.m. live with martha maccallum. so certainly don't want to miss it. pete, will, jedediah. send it back to you. will: thanks, jillian. >> thanks so much, jillian. on that note we're going to bring in stuart varney, host of "varney & company" on fox business to talk about the georgia races and much, much more. stuart, welcome to the show as obviously. we've been talking a lot about these key georgia races. people on the left and right have weighed in on the importance of these races and what it could potentially mean.

one of those people is bernie sanders and he has talked a lot about what a win in those two runoffs would mean for a biden-harris agenda. let's listen to what he had to say and we'll get your reaction. >> you have told me several times over the last few months since you left the presidential race your goal is to get joe biden elected and make him the most progressive president in the history of the united states. that job becomes a lot easier if you don't have republicans controlling the senate. >> absolutely. and it is, you know, we're all working as hard as we can to make sure that the two candidates, democratic candidates win in georgia. that we'll have those two elections we'll clearly will have profound impact on everybody in our country. >> where do you want me to start. jedediah: go stuart. >> what bernie sanders wants is massive tax hikes. he wants intense regulation of business and the green new deal.

he is a socialist and that is what he wants for our country. if the democrats win both of those senate seats in georgia, then it is evenly split in the senate and kamala harris would have the deciding vote. he thinks, bernie sanders thinks, that avenues the way to socialism. it's a long shot. i think it will be a disaster if it actually happened. huge new taxes, the green new deal, just as you trying to come out of the pandemic recession, that is not good for america. that is very bad for america's economy. i think, however, it is a long shot for sanders to expect the democrats to both win both senate seats. rafael warnock, the reverend is something after radical. i don't think he is going to win. i think, at least one of those senate seats will go to the republicans, probably both of them this is a long shot. if the last gasp of the socialists to try to have some impact on our country through those georgia runoff senate

elections. i don't think it is going to work. pete: stuart, thanks for being with us this morning. you're one of the hardest working in showbusiness on a sunday. you talk about socialism would crush our economy, worse than that, you are can't work at all you're on lock down. sometimes particular moments and business owners demonstrate the double standard of the moment where some people are treated one way, others are not. one of those is angela marsten, a california bar owner. she organized a rally yesterday but before that, we'll remind viewers what she demonstrated, what she showed with her iphone how far she is treated versus bigger businesses. watch this. >> this is my place, the pineapple grill and saloon. if you go to my page you see all the work i did for outdoor dining. i walk into my parking lot obviously mayor garcetti has approved this. has approved this being set up

for this being set up for, for a movie company. everything i own is being taken away from me and they set up a movie company right next to my outdoor patio. tell me that this is dangerous but right next to me as is a slap in my face, that's safe? this is safe? pete: stuart her video rightfully went viral. she is organizing more protests. here is few clips from restaurant owners why they're joining her. watch. >> just said no more. i'm not going to be quiet anymore what they're doing to us you know. >> the people in charge are hypocrites. they're going out and doing what they want to do and then they're letting employees and businesses lose everything. >> tell people that they have to stay home. that is a luxury. that is not, that is a luxury afforded to people with jobs that can keep them at home or

for politicians like this one that makes 25,000 a month. if you give me 25,000 a month and all my staff, we'll stay home and order to go. >> they don't want to be wrong. that is the problem. if they come out and say we made a mistake, they're admitting that they wasted nine months and got nothing out of it and destroyed people's lives. will: stuart, a lot of truth being spoken there. >> absolutely. i sense a growing mood of defiance and revolt. i think that revolt may be more organized as we go toward the holiday period. i think it is justified because these restaurant and bar owners and gym owners and owners of small businesses who have been shut down, their livelihoods are gone while the politicians who imposed those rules often break those rules at the same time. i think we're heading toward as very ugly situation here where the revolt is brewing. i think it will break out big time fairly soon. will: stuart, i found often

immigrants to america have unique appreciation for what america is. whether a cuban immigrant in south florida voting against socialism, a cab driver from the ivory coast here in new york city building his financial future, someone who arrived the country 50 years ago like yourself from europe, from the united kingdom who has unique appreciation for a society not built upon class status, right? >> exactly. will: you came here 50 years ago, you worked as a waiter. i know that informed your perspective, stuart. >> absolutely. when you come to america from the old world, you suddenly realize here is a wide open country where it doesn't matter who your mom and dad were, doesn't matter what accent you use, if you can do the job, get on with it and do well. i came over here 48 years ago to be precise. i hadn't got a job. i hadn't got any money. first thing i did was i became a waiter that was my entry level position. it was very good training. you have to have people skills to be a good waiter. you have to be efficient in

delivering the food to the table. you have to have a element of charm because you want to maximize your tips. so that is what i did for the first year i was in america and it was my first job, my first entry level position into the united states. whales we're on the subject, what would have happened back then if there were 15-dollar an hour minimum wage? i wouldn't have got the entry level position. technology would have ruled it out as it is ruling out wait staff positions today. so i'm very thankful that i got in on the ground florida, became a waiter and established my life panned family in these here united states of america. i am profoundly grateful for that opportunity. will: absolutely. jedediah: thanks so much, stuart. pete: thank you very much. >> "varney & company" on fox business weekdays 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. eastern time. great perspective as always from stuart varney. will: don't be a stranger, stuart. jedediah: i will have headlines

us this morning. we appreciate it. give us that update. where is the president's legal challenge at this moment? >> yeah. well the big news coming out of michigan this morning, pete, a judge actually granted our team access to 22 of the dominion voting machines to conduct a forensic audit. this is a county that had switch of 6,000 votes from president trump to joe biden and that was an unexplained and so-called glitch. so our team is going to be able to go in this morning at about 830. we'll be there for about eight hours to conduct the france sick examination. we'll have the results in 48 hours. that will tell us a lot about these machines. will: yeah, that is, certainly significant development and what are the types and number of legal challenges is the team bringing now? can be confusing if you watch how it is developing. the hope to get something to the supreme court from your view. what are the legal challenges

right now? >> of course ultimately the supreme court probably should hear at least one if not more of these cases but really the challenge right now is the state legislatures. so where mayor giuliani and i have gone to pennsylvania, arizona, michigan, georgia, over the last two weeks to ask the state legislatures to get involved because they are the entities with the constitutional authority to regulate how the delegates are actually selected to the electoral college. if the state legislatures actually do their job and they are willing to step in and not certify these false results, no, no, we're going to take back our power under the constitution and make sure that we don't allow corruption to rein, we don't even need a court order. initially when we put forward the lawsuits it was to try to stop the certification of the false results. we're still collecting evidence. we're still collecting evidence. we have the video came out of georgia this last week. it was the night before our hearing.

we finally got a copy of that. we're looking into the dominion vote machines with the new forensic examination. this is an investigation has taken a few weeks t will take time but what we have now is such significant and overwhelming evidence that there is voter fraud. there is a lot of irregularities and just complete disregard for the laws in these states that it should give each of these state legislatures which are gop controlled they need to take back their delegates and conduct themselves a remedy how they deem appropriate. pete: how likely is it in your calculation these state legislatures will make this move? you're providing evidence, could go through the legal routes through courts. you're providing evidence for state legislatures. how many states are you hoping for real quick? >> hearings in four states, georgia in particular is poised to do something this week and run that concurrent resolution through their house and senate. we're hoping that arizona will

do the same and we also have two lawsuits in wisconsin that i think are going to end up going further in the courts throughout this week and next. so again, this spans six states. between the state legislatures and also the judiciary we are going to see an outcome for election integrity and that is something that all americans should want. so i would encourage everyone call your state legislatures especially in these four states that i mentioned, pennsylvania, michigan, georgia and arizona and tell them that you want to protect and preserve election integrity. pete: jenna ellis, thanks for giving us an update and we want to hear what comes out of michigan with those machines. >> definitely,. pete: pete you got it. the wwe coming up laying down a special tribute to the troops. two-time wwe champion, drew mcintyre is here with a preview of the big event coming up on fox.

if you're only bringing in $2500 a week, you know, i don't even know you know, how -- on this. you know? will: so much focus on restaurant and bar owners. alex, you have a karate studio as i mentioned in the introduction in california as well. how is business for all of this. >> good morning. thank you for having me. since the beginning of this covid and lockdowns and such we lost probably 65 to 70% of our revenue and members and so on. this coming lockdown will pretty much put us out. will: h. will: i can imagine what you have been going through. let me go to the congressman. we've seen the effect on television. you're seeing it on television as well to the business owners. people trying to stop the coronavirus as best we can to be

responsible. how do we reconcile in places like california, some of the strictest measures, whether shutdowns or masks we're seeing numbers surge, so we're going back to the same solutions that don't seem to be working? >> yeah. well as an assembly member, not into congress myself, you know, yes exactly. we've seen restrictive measures out here and we still see the same spikes we're seeing across the country. it shows the shutdowns really don't have the effect a lot of politicians want to say that they have. really the only consistency of our governor out here has been his inconsistency. when you combine that with hypocrisy it completes, creates a complete lack of trust in our constituency out here. i for one have been really fighting for our small businesses, people like alex you know who, first generation immigrant. this has been the american dream

for him. and their businesses have been destroyed, really for no good reason. and so that what we've been fighting against this governor's overreach. i have encouraged many of these businesses to just stay open. they can stay open with safety protocols the same way that all the big box stores can stay open and have been open during this whole period. will: thank you for the correction, assemblyman. let me go back to the two business owners quickly, can you stay open, alex? can you, you know, what assemblyman can do the same safety protocols big box retailers can do but at this point can you stay open feasibly, reasonably? in other words, can you afford to stay open? >> well, as the other guest, alan just explained, our expenses are the same. will: right. >> but our revenue is not happening. so it will be a struggle. to answer your question, the answer is yes and i have a large facility that i can have

children, even standing 10 feet away from each other and training without no contact, no, we take all the safety measures that they require. however the problem is people, the parents, they are panicking because they, you know, they are hearing all the things from news and media and so on and they just think it is the end of the world. will: if i might, in the amount of time i have left go back to alan. i'm fascinated by this yo-yo effect. you survived the shutdowns in the spring. you have somewhat of a comeback. now you're facing another round of shutdowns. that has to have a devastating effect not just on your business but your psyche trying to survive this time? >> well, especially when you saw angela from pineapple hills video they're letting the movie shoot put up these big tents for crafts services. they won't let her open up right across.

that really got me emotional. this past week i've seen the numbers just go down, as far as they went down you know. and you know last week i had to tell the front of the house they don't have a job anymore. bottom line if it stays this i have to go to the back of house guys worked for me six 1/2 years, hey, guys, i'm sorry, i can't pay you right now. you know. and because there is only so much i can do out of my pocket to keep the business going. will: right. alan adams, alex, we wish you breath the best of luck in business. assemblyman james gallagher thank you so much what you're trying to do in california. >> go bolts. will: you guys take care. >> thank you. >> thank you. will: president trump rallying georgia voters laying out what is at stake in the runoff election a lifelong democrat turned trump supporter, vernon jones says if the senate goes, the country goes. he explains next. ♪

[cheering] thank you, vernon. what a great guy. jedediah: joining me now that lifelong democrat who voted for president trump, georgia state representative vernon jones. thanks for joining us this morning. you've been a very strong voice on these georgia runoffs, talking about the importance of a republican win in these runoffs, what it would mean, why it is so crucial. tell us a little bit about that. >> first of all the country is

at a crossroad. when you look at harry schumer, chuck schumer, i'm sorry, chuck schumer and nancy pelosi, thinking about all those left folks, they have really put our country in the wrong direction. they want socialism, they want marxism. we can't tolerate that. we're georgians and we're americans. we want a place where we expand earn a living or we can have our business grow our business. we want a place where our children can get a good education and be faith based, first and second amendment protected. when you look at the left where they're going with joe biden and kamala harris, they're taking us in the wrong direction and they want to take us in the wrong direction. president trump is the last man standing between chaos and community. when i was talking to the page family, they have a young nine-year-old kid by the name of brooks. he gets, if a nine-year-old gets about this country, if he gets it this country should get what is going on. georgia is battleground state. what happened in georgia, if it

happens in georgia then our state is going to go. we have to protect our state. president is trying to help us retain the two united states senators so we can hold the line and balance in washington. jedediah: you know, vernon, you know a lot about what goes on and intricacies of georgia politics. i have to ask, are you surprised they're so close? these races are very, very tight. some have suggest ad lot of surprise with respect to that how do you see it? >> what i'm very surprised of there has been no clear, fair, free and transparent election. there has been too many issues, too many irregularities and i don't understand why stacey abrams and that fair fight group, they're not standing up now and talking about this. they talked about it when she lost a few years ago how you know, should be for the people, by the people, every vote should be counted. she is practicing the, i would say hypocrisy and not democracy. so i want to see, like many of us want to see georgia hold the line. it is important.

senator david perdue and senator kelly loeffler, they must be reelected. if that doesn't happen, it is going to be chaos. it is going to be communism, black lives mat every, antifa will run over joe biden. this president was able to hold the country together. he had it in the right direction. i still believe this president should pursue every avenue possible to make sure that every vote was properly counted and right now there is just distrust in this country. i believe it, many people believe it. many families believe it. we feel like this is an effort to take the election. so we need to stop. this deal, i mean stop this steal. jedediah: vernon, people like ben bernanke come out and say that if in fact democrats win these go seats that it would really give progressives an opportunity to really push through a heavy progressive agenda in washington via biden-harris administration. the seats are key. we'll be watching. we appreciate your perspective

on that and more. >> thank you so much. what bernie is saying goes to show you with a bad deal, i don't call it the green deal, aoc, that crowd, you will see them start to really impact our economy, jobs being lost. families being broken. it just does not make any sense. that is why georgia is a battleground for the country. we have to hold the line. i believe we will hold the line because georgians, the country realizes what is at stake here, our future. our american way of life. so thank you so much. jedediah: yeah. urn fortunately we're out of time for today but we appreciate your voice as always. >> thank you. jedediah: we are taking your kids virtual learning experience to the next level. diysci host steve spangler is here with easy at home science experiments with the whole family. that looks like fun. ♪

mele is live in atlanta this morning where the candidates will take the stage just hours from now with the latest, jillian? jillian: that's right, good morning. the battle over who gets control of the senate now rests in the hands of georgia voters, who have until tomorrow to register to vote and then early in-person voting is set to begin on december 14. now as you mentioned the runoff between kelly loeffler, raphael warnock and david perdue and john ossoff are neck and neck and things are extremely close at this point let's take a look at video from last night where president trump was in the peach state rallying voters as you know, he always does, and a ton of people were there as you can see and he really has one message that people need to get out and vote because a lot is at stake. take a listen. president trump: we're gathered here tonight to ensure a very important word, because these are two great, great people that i know so well, and respected by everybody in washington and beyond, that david perdue and

kelly loeffler win the most- important congressional runoff probably in american history. jillian: now, if democrats are to take both seats the senate be divided 50/50 with kamala harris as the vice president with the tie-breaking vote. democrats would then control the house, the senate and the white house. now, as for the debates tonight, leffler and warnock will make their pitches to voter s while john ossoff will be up against an empty podium because david perdue has declined the invitation to debate. every debate has been virtual with the pandemic going on the chair of the debate committee for the atlanta press club said tonight's debates are too important so they are being held in-person. >> there's a difference when you have an in-person debate but we wanted to take every precaution so to have two u.s. senatorial debates in one year at the same time, and then two runoff and then for that to

determine the future of the u.s. jillian: everybody in georgia is feeling the importance of these races. now, hundreds of millions of dollars in ad spending has been spent from both inside the state of georgia and all across the country. so these are gearing up to be two of the most expensive senate races in history, with now just 30 days to go, until january 5 and by the way our coverage starts tonight at 6:45 p.m., martha mccallum will be hosting live so make sure you stay tuned there is a lot to talk about from georgia. pete, will, jed back to you. pete: jillian thank you very much now let's bring in someone who was there last night georgia gop congressman doug collins congressman thanks for being here this morning. the president was in familiar form last night. we got you almost take for granted how often he did rallies like this i believe this was his first post-election what was it like to be there and set the stakes of these key georgia races. >> well thank you, pete it's good to be with you all this morning.

yeah, this president in his form is doing these rallies and last night he came to georgia and brought the truth of the fact these two senate races are so important in the future of america. this is not just now just two senate races in georgia. this is actually about changing the direction of the united states senate and putting it in the hands of chuck schumer and an agenda that is so radical left that we cannot allow this to happen and the president made it very clear last night, in everything that's going on he set the stage and said no matter what you may feel about the election and how the controversies have been going on he made it very clear, david perdue and kelly loeffler need to be elected because john ossoff and raphael warnock would take this country down a path that's too far extreme and left and he was in good form last night. will: congressman the president was in good form when it came to you he had very complementary things to say about you. let's play a clip and then i'll ask you a question. watch this. president trump: doug you want to run for governor in two years >> [applause]

president trump: a good looking governor. will: congressman let me ask you , a pointed but also a broad question as well. the pointed question is do you want to run for governor in two years but the broader question is this. what should georgians make of to some extent, some messages that can seem conflicting. in other words, there's some doubt out there about the trust in the system the voting system and as you can hear there some frustration with governor brian kemp, the secretary of state as well but also recognition of how important these two senatorial races are, so, the broad question is what should georgians think about the entire state of these messages and what they should be doing and pointedly, are you interested in run r fog governor >> i appreciate the president he's a good friend the only political decision i'm looking at right now is helping david perdue and kelly loeffler get elected and i don't think there's two messages here and two conflicting messages. it's an anomaly to actually say that you have to decide and make sure that our elections have the integrity they need that everybody show up and everybody

vote and at the same time, make sure that everybody does show up and vote for kelly loeffler and david perdue. those are not conflicting messages. those are honest messages. remember we've just i just dealt with four years of the democratic party that to this day still never recognized donald trump as the president. the hashtag notmypresident, all of the investigations, and this president was never accepted and the election was never accepted a few years ago. why don't we allow a little bit of time to go through where the president can have his legal challenges and make sure the elections are safe, secure, and every legal vote is counted especially here in georgia, as we have two election races coming up for kelly loeffler and david perdue but again, i think the president just making the clear point that we can do more than one thing at a time. we can make sure our elections are safe while at the same time ensuring the senate does not go to the radical left. jedediah: congressman, let's talk covid-19 relief. a lot of businesses around the country getting increasingly concerned, increasingly desperate for that relief. nancy pelosi now coming out

saying that she's okay with a smaller bill, the timing of that obviously terribly interesting and highly political. bernie sanders now saying though a new $900 billion bipartisan proposal should not pass. let's take a listen to bernie sanders and then we'll get your reaction. >> we need direct payment, let us be clear, what we have right now are people suffering in a way economically that we've not seen since the great depression. what the american people want, they understand that in the midst of this crisis, through no fault of their own, because of their pandemic, the economy is in shambles. the fact that we are not address ing the economic crisis of tens of millions of people in this bill and they were giving large corporations carte blanche to ignore the safety needs of their workers tells me that this is not a bill that should be passed jedediah: so the truth is here that while politicians are arguing about it, people are just out there needing help. where does this land, when does

the help arrive? >> well that's a great question , but you know, look. there will be no bill acceptable to bernie sanders, if it wasn't a government takeover of our economy so let's just be honest about that and put him to the side and then look in the dictionary of political hypocrisy be nancy pelosi, the speaker who all through the fall would never come to the table and discuss getting relief before the election, and then miraculously now that she believes joe biden won the election and vaccine is around the corner okay i'll look at something different. that is despicable. what the speaker said the other day in not playing politics and now playing politics, there are people out there who are hurting right now. we wanted to see relief, target our businesses and those communities that need this help and the president last night spoke about this in the rally when he said he wants to see this relief happen. speaker pelosi should be ashamed of herself for actually now showing what we've known all along and that is that this is a political decision for her, that she's been saying the only thing i get from speaker pelosi is now she just admitted what we've

known all along. she played politics with people 's lives on covid response pete: absolutely she said it couldn't be lower than $2 trillion and now here we are at 900 billion and it makes no sense other than through a political lens. congressman doug collins come back after the special election and we'll ask you the same question and force you to actually answer it about whether you want to run for governor. >> [laughter] you all take care. pete: we appreciate it thank you very much, sir. all right, turning now to a few additional headlines. the u.s. reporting more than 213,000 covid-19 cases in a single day. the saturday total also marks the fourth day in a row with more than 200,000 cases. right now, there are over 14 million infections and 281,000 deaths. more than 5 million people have recovered, likely much more. >> at least one person is arrested after fights break out between president trump supporters and counterprotesters in olympia, washington. >> [rioting]

inspector come on wednesday and that's when they revoked my license or suspended it, and then on thursday, a deputy from the sheriff's department came down who was very nice. he just said that he had gotten complaints so he had to come out and check on that complaint and i questioned him just to ask him is that the policy of a police man to come out when it's for food? i thought that be the health department not a sheriff's department or a deputy and then we were open friday night and we didn't have any issues or any problems. will: lavita, are you still having customers come in as well i know you're making a stand to keep your doors open. are customers visiting the restaurant? >> yes, we have customers from all over the state coming and saying they support us and people from the town are coming into say they support us and they understand what i'm doing and they want to take a stand with me.

will: you talk about taking a stand, i know this is important to you you're a single mother of four two of your beautiful daughters are sitting to your side right now but taking a stand often implies something more than just your livelihood at stake. why is this so important for you to defy the orders and stay open >> for me, it's about the constitution, and teaching my daughters to stand on that constitution that america is great and that if we don't protect america, it's going to be taken away from us, and doesn't matter whose the leader, whose in power, our constitution is for the people. we, the people. and we have to stand on that constitution and our lifely hoods at home, our churches, everywhere we go, that's what we have is the constitution, to protect us, and if we don't take a stand now who will? if i teach my daughters to go and blindly follow, i'm just an unconstitutional mandate what are they supposed to do? that's not the america we live in and not the america i want them to grow up in and so that's what's really more important than my livelihood.

protocols to make sure they can keep playing. are they doing the right thing here? >> your guess is as good as mine. i would say that being that this is unchartered territory for everyone, i think they're doing an excellent job. who knows what the right answer is, so you know, i give them a lot of credit for doing whatever they feel is necessary to keep the games going and the games are being played and for the most part, without fan, obviously, or limited fans. other than that, it's pretty much status quo, so i think they are doing a good job. will: i think that's right, brett everyone has to look and say its been a success and they put on a season and there's no reported transmissions on the field of covid-19, but still , brett, the routines are different every week. some teams can't meet. some teams now, everyone in the league, monday and tuesday can't meet. just how difficult is that?

i know routines a big part of your life in the nfl, right? its got to be hard to establish a routine right now. >> yeah, i would think that there is no routine and as soon as you think you get one, or are on pace to have a routine, the curve ball comes in and i would, what i would say about the routine, the familiarity of every day ins and outs of meetings, practices, the advantage will have to go to the teams, in my opinion, who have been together for quite sometime and have good leadership within the ranks of the players as well as the coaching staff, so, you know, it's tough when you at least from a coaching standpoint, you have to throw a curve ball to the guys. they don't like to do that, so the teams that are established

and have had some chemistry together, i think had the advantage within the whole covid season. jedediah: brett, you have a new partnership with green eagle cbd pain relief. tell us about it. >> yes, i've talked about it several times the last few months. if you'd told me i be associated with cbd a year ago i would have said you're crazy. my perception was it was a drug, marijuana, you know, and i think the general public probably thinks the same thing. they know as much about it as i do. that's not the case, and i've used this product for everyday aches and pains, i was running a half marathon last year and you can imagine there were aches and pains along with being the most sacked player in history and i was surprisingly, it worked and so when i was

pete: iran's supreme court leader ayatollah has reportedly transferred power to his son, amid health concerns. according to one iranian journalist and there aren't many of them, iranian president hassa n rusani was scheduled to meet on friday with the iranian leader and this meeting was canceled due to the deterioration of kamani's health condition and here to react is fox news strategic analyst general jack keane, thanks for being here, the ayatollah makes the call, in iran. he ultimately, for him to transfer power could be very significant, what does this mean , and his son, what do we know about his son and how radical he may be? >> first of all we don't know if it's true but this reporter has a lot of credibility so others outside of iran are

taking this as a factual source so let's go on that basis then. normally they don't transfer power this way, pete. normally the assembly of experts which are 88 clerics picks the successor and in the interim while all of that is taking place they go to a leadership council which consisted of a president, the chief judiciary and a councilmember from the guardian council, so this , in itself, is very different. he selected his 51-year-old son moltava, who is well-known to the political infrastructure around the supreme leader, certainly, and he's also a religious cleric himself. that's almost a must to be able to become the supreme leader and most people think he will likely turn out to be the permanent successor, but that's still some doubt about that. here is what we do know though. the consensus, pete, is that the

tilt is going to be to the hard-liners for sure, and not to the reformers that are represented by the president of iran right now, rouhani, and the hard liners are represented most-influenced by religious clerics but most significantly, by the iranian revolutionary guard corps who are the most powerful institution in iran. they only report to the supreme leader. they are a military elite organization, 120,000-strong, 4 million volunteers, but they're also a highly-talented intelligent services that does all the repression inside iran when there's descent. 15,000 killed last year by them and excuse me, 13,000 in prison but here is two other things they do. have huge political influence at the top of the government and cut across the economic and financial fabric of iran. they're involved in petro

chemical companies, telecoms and also involved, if you can believe this , in the movie industry. these guys create wealth for themselves by their involvement in the fabric of society. the most-powerful organization and they'll play a large part whether motava succeeds his father or whether they select somebody else because they want somebody even more hard-lined. pete: still a lot of uncertainty but you point out the hard-liner s seem to still have the advantage in iran. let's shift over to china because the director of national intelligence, john ratcliffe put out an op-ed that really clarified our view of china at this moment again this is our top intelligence official. if i could communicate one thing to the american people from this unique vantage point, it is that the people's republic of china poses the greatest threat to america today, and the greatest threat to democracy and freedom worldwide since world war ii. intelligence is clear, beijing intends to dominate the u.s. and the rest of the planet economic

ally, mill milli tearily and technologically. general do you agree with his assessment? >> oh, yeah, i totally do. he's right on the mark here, pete and this began with the trump adminitration's national security strategy which was published in december of 2017 when it identified china as a long term security threat to the united states. i mean, what is really happening here is president xi under his leadership when he came in 2012- 2013 he is the most ambitious, most aggressive leader that china has ever had. he's not just interested in improving china economically. he is interested in dominating the world and to do that, he wants to change the international order that has served the world by like-minded democracies led by the united states prevented world war iii for the past 70 years. he wants to change that and develop his own sphere of influence, control and dominate the asia pacific region and

replace the united states as the world's global leader. unbelievably extraordinary ambitious but here is the problem on what makes it so dangerous and why director ratcliffe is issuing this call because america's military dominance, pete, has eroded through the years because of obama defense reduction budgets and 20 years of preoccupation with 9/11 war. the trump defense budget is getting us out of that but four years isn't enough to get to the effective deterrence that we truly must have, and hopefully, new administration, if it's the biden administration, will come to grips with the reality of what director ratcliffe is saying, because he is so right in his evaluation and analysis and we've got to continue that defense buildup, and we've got to work with our allies in the region to confront china. pete: so important that we're clear about it. the communist chinese have a dream and it has nothing to do

with freedom and everything to do with power and authoritarian ism, general jack keane thanks for breaking it down for us really appreciate it >> great talking to you pete, as always. pete: always. all right pete toss to will for headlines, boom. will: will, catch, take it from here. all right turning to your headlines a tennessee nurse in healthcare hero is shot and killed on her way to work. police say kaitlyn coffman was struck by bullets fired into her suv in nashville. they released this photo of her suv. the 26-year-old icu nurse was pronounced dead at the scene. a spokesman for her hospital says she served patients with " compassion and kindness." no arrests have yet been made. >> actor matthew mcconaughey calls out the far left's treatment of conservatives. >> the far left that would go well, who do, there is a lot on that left that absolutely go towards that other 50% in our

what the issue is here, what the controversy is with the consent forms why parents may not want to sign them and what you think this is going to lead to. >> well the first thing is it just makes no sense. why are they testing a random sampled student at every school, you know, at some interval and the tests don't come back for like three days and so what's the point? what's the reason to pull kids out of class, give them a random test and then wait three days to see whether they're positive or not? if you're so worried about children spreading covid which again they're not because kids right now are last in line for the vaccine. that should really tell us all something, but if you're so worried about kids spreading covid have parents produce a negative test every week, or every some length of time, but they're not doing that and what they're doing instead is testing these kids without their wants present and that's going to lead to problems for them i can imagine a 5-year-old freaking out not wanting to take the test and if that kid has to switch to remote learning because they didn't want a stranger sticking a stick up their nose, that's

going to have some issues. jedediah: yeah, and one of the reasons they're giving saying for why parents can't be there when their kids get the test are saying well because of covid-19 we don't want more people in the building but i was thinking about this. i mean, parents typically don't drop their kids at a doctor's office and just leave the room and go wait outside. i don't even bring my dog to the vet without wanting to be in the room so this is a totally reasonable request on the part of parents that if you're going to have some type of invasive testing done on their child, they should be allowed to be there. >> absolutely and they could have come up with ways to do this. you could have the parents at drop-off watch their kid get tested outside, you know, in the courtyard or wherever the kids come into the building. this is not impossible. this is just new york city doing the dumbest, most, you know, ridiculous thing possible and that's what they've done all along and it's just a continuation of that. jedediah: another story we're following this morning is out of dallas. apparently an independent school district is considering scrap

ping this semester's final exam, there's a particular exam called the acp, an end of semester exam. it's weighed about 10-15% of the student's grade so it's a pretty strong weight there, so and they're considering this because they are saying based on what's happened with covid is this really a fair assessment, four teachers, four students what's your take? >> well dropping the exam won't mean that the kids aren't fail ing it just means nobody will find out so this is a way to cover for bad teachers and in effective teachers and to not see the full picture of what our education system this year has looked like. any year can have its challenges and obviously, this is an unusual one, but for all experiencing the challenges why can't the test be graded on that basis, on the idea that yeah, everybody is having a really tough year, and let's see what these kids learned and let's test them on that. i'm absolutely for testing on every level because i want to see where the kids ended up this year and i want to see

exactly what happened in our educational system this year and how our kids were affected by it jedediah: yeah, testing like this would absolutely expose some problems that may have emerged with respect to the distance learning, and even if you are pose like i don't like these final exams because oftentimes i think they carry too much weight, 15%, 20% sometimes it's a lot for one test but you have to figure out then an alternate way to assess these students because people need to know what the impact of this is for future reference, and if anything like this happens again, what is the impact of this on children. >> absolutely, yeah, we could have the conversation about whether testing is graded too heavily, et cetera, but just take it away because we don't want people to fail this year, or because we don't want to see that people failed this year , that makes no sense to me. jedediah: karol, thank you so much as always. >> thank you. jedediah: christmas shopping is well underway, but what do you get for that one person on your list who has everything? that's always the question.

pete: welcome back to fox & friends. if you were with us in the 6:00 a.m. hour i made mention of an op-ed in boston that makes a great point. the boston harold slamming lawmakers with this headline. politicians should feel the pinch of dragging out the stimulus bill and here is a portion of their argument. they write, if politicians really wanted to show solidarity with the american people, congress should have its paycheck frozen until legislation aimed at helping those who have been economically wiped out has passed from the moments such legislation is introduced until it is signed

into law, no salary, political posturing and trading potshots should cost them. we doubt it would take six months to advance a bill. will, of course it would take six minutes if their actual paycheck was on the line, and that's not going to happen. will: what an inflection point when you have a politician like nancy pelosi say the reason that a bill has not been passed to this point, quite candidly, is because now, in her words, we have a new president, when she's that brazen in admitting why a bill hasn't been passed then why not dock her for one that everyone is still waiting on and needs. peter navarro, white house trade advisor, by the way, was on justice with judge jeanine this weekend talking about the importance of a stimulus bill. listen. >> these lockdowns hit the people who are least able to withstand this so what we need is a strong stimulus package that has three components. one, we get the business ppe plan going again, get that going and we

have another round of stimulus checks, $1,200 into every household, $500 per-child and then we also need to reasonably increase the amount of unemployment compensation. we need a bridge to the spring when the president's beautiful vaccines take hold and get us back towards normal. we're going to have a pelosi recession. she purposely didn't get a bill passed so she could hurt trump in the election. will: you know we've had people on this show, jedediah, over time, restaurant owners, bar en oars, i know cab drivers in new york city who have struggled with the lack of unemployment benefits being extended and pete said this earlier in the show and it's worth highlighting if the government mandates your job to shutdown the government should help youo jedediah: that's absolutely true and i think the boston harold makes a great point. they do this because they have all of the time in the world and their lives have not been affect ed and the same way as people around the country who own these businesses, and of

course, this be impossible to enforce because who would approve it. they would never impose those restrictions on themselves , ever, so you'd never see them, see those , you know, pay freezes or pay-holds or whatever you want to call it but really is what it would take because they need to feel the pain of what these people around the country have felt in order to act. that's sad that it has to come to that but that really is where we're at as we've seen over the past few months their in ability to get anything done so i love the idea i don't think it would pass but that's what it would take. pete: yes their gated communities are well-insulated from the consequences of their unwillingness to at one moment come together one-time, and republicans were at the table time and time again. we know what we need to do. they wanted to bailout blue states and do a bunch of other stuff that was not related to the china virus which we've been having to deal with but still ahead we've got a lot more on the program the fourth hour on on the coming up, kayleigh mcenany, devin nunes, nancy grace, maria bartiromo, charissa

to socialism" congressman i think that's absolutely the first question i want to ask you about. there is a saying, when people tell you who they are, believe them. well, bernie sanders is telling you exactly how important these two senatorial races are in georgia. love to play this bite, he has from msnbc where he lays out what's on the line in these two senatorial races let's listen to this. >> you've told me several times over the last few months since you left the presidential race that your goal is to get joe biden elected and then to make him the most progressive president in the history of the united states. that job becomes a lot easier if you at least don't have republicans controlling the senate. >> absolutely and, you know, it is, we're all working as hard as we can to make sure that the two candidates, democratic candidates are winning in georgia and if that will have those two elections will clearly have a profound impact on everybody in our country. will: congressman it seems

senator sanders is laying it out clear for everyone. what's on the line in georgia? >> well, good morning, and clearly, senator sanders is the socialist. he's the only socialist in the house and the party, or in the senate, where he's got a whole host of socialists here in the house of representatives that serve with me, so these candidates in georgia on the democratic side, they truly are socialists. these are hard left wingers. these are not some type of southern moderates and i think secondly, donald trump's legacy is on the line here. he needs to deliver this. if we're going to make any head way into the challenges that we've had with the voting systems and that we're unsure about whether or not this election was done properly or not, donald trump and the republican party, need to deliver a victory so that we have 52 seats in the senate moving on into next year to hold biden and the socialists in check. jedediah: congressman, we've been talking a lot about california today because of

these new stay-at-home orders and the reactions from a lot of business owners who are having a problem particularly with the outdoor dining restrictions. one individual, angela marston, a california bar owner has been talked about a lot because she made a video that called a lot of attention. first let's revisit that video and we'll move on and talk about more aspects of it. >> this is my place, the pine all el grill and saloon. if you go to my page you can see all 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 and this is

dangerous, but right next to me is a slap in my face, that's safe. this is safe? jedediah: so obviously this has gone viral the hypocrisy is outstanding and she organized a protest outside of county supervisor sheila cool's office, and that of course is the county supervisor that went and engaged in outdoor dining after telling folks in california they could not engage in outdoor dining. restaurant owners have weighed in on why they're protesting so let's listen to them and then we'll talk about it. >> i just said no more, i'm not going to be quiet any more for what they're doing to us. to tell people they have to stay home, that's a luxury. that's not, that's a luxury afforded to people that have jobs, that can keep them at home or for politicians like this one that makes 25,000 a month. if you give me 25,000 a month, and all my staff, we'll stay home and order to-go. >> the people in charge are

hypocrites and they're going out and doing what they want to do and then they're letting employees and businesses lose everything. they don't want to be wrong that's the problem because if they come out and say we made a mistake they're admitting they wasted nine months and got nothing out of it and destroyed people's lives. jedediah: your thoughts on all of this , congressman. >> so what you're beginning to see unravel is decade-after- decade of left wing policies and those are coming to the forefront with this covid lockdown, and so a lot of people don't see the hypocrisy, so until you get hit right in the head with it like that poor business owner, the bar owner that then sees the hypocrisy next door, and that's because the media in california for the most part, 90% of it, is covering this up. they don't show when the governor of california goes to one of the most expensive

restaurants in california, has an indoor dining without social distancing and then lies about it. they don't see where nancy pelosi the whole time was getting their hair cut, the speaker of the house when other americans and californians could not, a lot don't know about it so the ones that do know about it like just this week, we learned, hewlett packard, one of the long-time original silicon valley businesses, its rumored they are going to be moving to texas, and so what's happening here is is that the goose that laid the golden egg in california, the politicians and the socialists are eating, they continue to eat the goose and eventually they're going to run out of eggs, so what i mean by that is is that these are jobs that are fleeing the state. i don't know anyone that i talked to on a regular basis in my home state that doesn't talk about leaving the state of california and for sure, like i have family members actually now who are retiring that are have spent their whole lives in kanye

west l call, they are retiring this year and moving to idaho so that's what's continuing to happen is we'll see these jobs continue to go, so covid is speeding this up, we'll see , if the independent voter finally wakes up and realizes if i continue to listen to the mainstream media and continue to be on places like google and fake facebook and twitter where i'm cents or ed constantly, when will these independent voters wake up and realize there's not going to be any jobs left in california. pete: congressman one more topic for us this morning you've been on the front edge of exposing the russia hoax and the surveillance and the ways in which the previous administration and the fbi and doj targeted the trump adminitration. chief amongst those targets was general michael flynn. he gave his first interview since being pardoned on justice last night here is a portion of what he said. >> i must have put the fear of god into barack obama and probably still do, because of

this long four year long saga that they put me me and my family through, president donald j. trump and his family and frankly the entire country, jeanine, so, yeah, i mean, i wish somebody would pin him down and ask him what that question is one of these days i'll lay it out but pretty amazing for the transition of the united states of america from one president to another, that was the two points that president obama wanted to share with president-elect at the time, donald j. trump. pete: amazing indeed, quite a transition, the trump adminitration got then. >> well look, i think this is another example the mainstream media not holding leftist politicians accountable and here you have the former president of the united states. he's never been asked that question. why did you pressure the incoming president to not hire general flynn, and just so the viewers know out there. the incoming national security advisor position is that point man for the president that deals with all of the

intelligence apparatus across our government, so, clearly, they didn't want somebody like general flynn who has a long history, one of our nation's top intelligence officers in the last 50 years. i first got to know general flynn in iraq in 2006 worked with him for many many years through the house intelligence committee. this is a man who is an outside of the box thinker. he's brilliant and clearly, they didn't want him in that position do you know why? because they were spying on him and the two-tiered justice system that we have here where general flynn could be targeted even though the fbi didn't think he was lying when all of these other people in doj and fbi have run around and got off scott free for doing what? lying to the fbi or lying to congress. it's incredible. will: congressman unfortunately we're out of time but we appreciate your time this morning in hitting all these big topics in the news. >> great to be with you guys have a great day. will: thank you congressman. churches in san francisco bay area will be forced to close their doors again tonight, as the state imposes new lockdown measures.

the archbishop of san francisco has been outspoken against these restrictions and he joins us, next. when it comes to autism, finding the right words can be tough. finding understanding doesn't have to be. together, we can create a kinder, more inclusive world for the millions of people on the autism spectrum.

go to autismspeaks.org

will: today the san francisco bay area will enter into another covid-19 lockdown forcing businesses and places of worship to close their doors until january, well san francisco's archbishop has been outspoken against coronavirus restrictions aimed at california churches and now he won't rule out a legal challenge, the archbishop, salvatore cordileone, joins me now. archbishop thank you so much for being here. tell me about your consideration of a legal challenge to the lockdown restrictions in the bay area. >> i had said that i would not exclude doing that if i absolutely would have to. there is another legal challenge making its way through the courts right now, that's the harvest rock church case, which the supreme court remanded

for the decision on the relief so we're hoping that the court will do the right thing, and decide according to what the supreme court decided in the diocese of brooklyn case, so there is already that case making its way through the courts. i've been very clear that i'm totally committed to public safety. we've developed a safety plan for how we can conduct our services, that has been scientifically proven to work, 1 million masses were studied over a 14-week period following the safety protocols because they're using them all throughout the country in catholic communities and they could not find one outbreak of infections traceable to a celebration of the mass, so we have the science to back us up that we can do this safely, and we've been advocating and agitating for fair treatment because even though we're in a more severe lockdown, department stores are able to operate. they've reduced it from 25 to 20 % but they are still able to operate and people can spend two or three hours in a department

store, shopping around the employees are in there all day long, we can keep our services to an hour, and the people are stationary. there's ventilation, we sanitize , and it works. it keeps people safe, but they are continuing to keep us shut out of our churches, so i'm trying to do work as much as possible to find a more amicable solution to this , but we cannot put up with this for much longer. will: no and that's why you say we're not going to rule out potential legal challenges. i know you've been outspoken on this in pastas you just laid out the ability to balance safety concerns, responsibility against maintaining the right to worship wherein your estimation is that balance? i know they've now put restrictions on no indoor services limitations on outdoor services. what is that balance in your mind? >> the government has no authority to tell the church it cannot worship. that's a clear violation of the free exercise clause. i accept that the government has the authority, indeed the responsibility, to tell

faith communities, like everyone else, what they have to do to protect public health, but those regulations cannot be so severe as to infect ban public worship, so, they might say on the other side, we're allowed to worship outdoors but the weather is starting to get cold even here in california, the wind is kicking up, its becoming more difficult to worship outside, and it's always more difficult to worship outside, so in effect they're banning public worship, and the government has no authority to do that. reasonable safety precautions, we have them developed. we've added in san francisco, they have faith communities to submit a safety plan, back in may. we submitted ours, other faith communities submitted there's as well and in the meantime, store owners submitted operation plans for safety. they got approved and they went back into operation, but we still haven't heard back on our safety plans for our churches, so the lines are the government can tell us what we need to do to protect public health, just

like they do when we build a church, right? we build it to building codes and they inspect to make sure we're conforming to building codes to safety, panic bars, lighted exit signs and all that but they don't tell us how to range our worship space, so the same thing here. they can tell us what we have to do to keep people safe but they can't tell us in effect not to worship so we continue to agitate. we do have an online petition that started months ago. it's still there. people want to go online to sign it, freethe mass.com and they can sign that petition to ask our authorities governing authorities to treat us equally. will: we wish you the best of luck in your struggle to continue to have worship services in the bay area, thank you so much after, bishop cordil eone. thank you. shocking moments as a woman comes face to face with her alleged stalker entering her home. nancy grace reacts next. i'm erin. -and i'm margo.

out the guy crawled up to her second floor balcony and broke in and this is not nefarious why not just ring the door bell and legally you don't have to come in and commit a rape or a murder for it to be burglary it's unlawful injury into a residence of any type for an illegal purpose and you know what's chilling? you know what he was saying, jed he was saying, are you my friend are you my friend? if that's not creepy enough, he crawls up her balcony, gets in, opens the door, and he had been standing there watching her, record a dance video, and he had been watching her from a truck and elsewhere, within the apartment so he gets out, jed, he walks free until i.c.e. detains him and he's there now but how long will he stay there? we have no promise he's going to be deported. jedediah: wow this is unbelievable and we've witnessed it all as a result of social media and self phones and technology being what it is, which is why its gotten around so much. i can't believe what's unfolding

there their eyes. >> i'm angry because people are poo-poo'ing it because she wasn't angry or raped or murdered or shot. that is a felony burglary and let me tell you something else we don't know if he's got a record, we don't know what he's got he's from mexico in this country illegally and i guarantee you when you don't know a horse look at his track record. this guy has a record in mexico and he's wandering around there, near baltimore. jedediah: and hopefully we'll find out more about that record there's another story we're following today though, nancy and we want to get your opinion on it because friends are claiming now this houston instagram influencer who disappeared days after thanksgiving was scared for her life weeks before her death. there have been reports she wanted a divorce. what's the latest you have on that back story? >> we're talking about 26-year-old instagram influencer

alexis sharkey, absolutely beautiful and according to her mother she had an argument with someone, right before she went missing. she was alive and well on thanksgiving. her husband said he had a thanksgiving morning meal and i'm curious why they didn't have thanksgiving lunch or dinner together, but hey, whatever, that's not a crime. then, i don't think anyone saw her after that evening. she spent time with her friends that evening, and then the next day, black friday, she was supposed to meet up for movies with her friends. she never showed up. they go to her place, start bang ing on the door and they're the ones that call the cops. jedediah: wow. this is amazing so, what do you expect people, i mean, when is this going to unfold where people get some answers with respect to this? is this something that goes on for weeks and weeks and weeks because there's a lot of red flags in the back story i don't know what's been confirmed or not but there's a lot of crazy stuff. >> well, i tell you when it's all going to sort out and that's when we get the medical examiner

's report but i can tell you this. for years and years i've studied method and assessment of homicide and suicide and there's no way a young female at her age bracket and yes this is broken down statistically, would commit suicide naked. just doesn't happen. statistically, doesn't happen. so, there are only a few choices you die by accident and there was no indication she was run over by a car on the side of the road, she was naked, was there a sex attack? there's homicide and there's natural causes. so i'm waiting for that toxicology report. what's interesting, no visible signs of injury which means that it was murder and it had to be asphyxiation. jedediah: uh-huh, toxicology report is going to tell us a lot nancy grace, crimes of christmas , by the way, is available on fox nation beginning december 14. people will not want to miss that. nancy, as always, we appreciate you being here breaking this stuff down for us. >> thank you, merry christmas. jedediah: merry christmas to you , president trump rallying georgia voters as he continues

with his legal challenges we're getting an update from trump 2020 advisor kayleigh mcenany next. >> ♪ ♪

>> why did you come here to see the president today? >> i just wanted to see the president and support him and let him know that america stands behind him, we appreciate how much he's fighting. >> he's the best president ever , we love him very much and we believe that he loves our country and it's very emotional for me. i don't think i've ever been emotional about any president, but donald trump. >> i think in georgia it's real important to get everybody motivated to get out to vote. we do need to get this senate back in republican control, and hopefully we can win the election here in georgia. pete: that was our own griff jenkins yesterday in georgia outside the president's rally where he was in familiar form. sounding off about the senate race there as well as the ongoing legal challenges let's bring in kayleigh mcenany trump 2020 campaign advisor. kayleigh good morning, thank you so much for being here.

talk about both of these things if you will that can be done at the same time, motivating supporters to come out and maintain control of the senate while at the same time, finding every legal vote and challenging irregularities where needed. >> i'm so glad you brought that up, because a new york times reporter tweeted last night that somehow the two notions are in compatible. make no mistake that is a leftist trying to get you not to vote. these things are entirely compatible. we can look at a fraudulent system where you have mass mail- in voting which even jimmy carter submissions found that mail-in voting is the most subject to fraud of anything, we've known this for a long time we can investigate that. we can call on georgia to have a special legislative session to fix signature match for both the 2020 election and the january 5 runoff but we can also say this. look if there's a problem right now, if signature matches making sure that fraudulent votes are being counted well guess what? let's overwhelm the system with trump votes. show up, every single trump

voter in the trump base every conservative in georgia show up, cast your vote. we have to overwhelm the system with in-person voting and counter the mail-in voting so both can be true and anyone telling you not to vote is not having the right motives here. go out and vote on january 5. pete: with the amount of mail- out voting and the lack of republican oversight in many key democrat cities, it does raise a lot of eyebrows now when i talked to jenna ellis on the program earlier, she said a lot of the prime minister legal team focuses as you mentioned to state legislators to putting their evidence in their hands that's ultimately who makes the call about electors. what is the trump legal team, what result are you hoping from that strategy? >> yeah, they do. the legislatures do make the ultimate decision under article 1 section iv, so we're showing the evidence up to them to make the determinations but i think right now what is most paramount right now, governor kemp went on fox news and he said this. he said i'm now convinced that

there's a lot of evidence here, so we need to have signature match, the stacey abrams deal should not be the law of the land, but i'm powerless to do anything. that's the secretary of state's decision. false, governor kemp. you have the power to call in a special legislative session because right now if we lose these two senate seats, guess whose casting the deciding vote in this country for our government? it will be kamala harris. call for the special legislative session, governor kemp can also threaten the budget of the secretary of state. there's plenty he can do but when we take legislatures right now, pete, what the is paramount is georgia, right here, right now, making sure that we hold this branch of government. pete: a signature match makes sense in georgia there's also potentially a supreme court challenge in the state of pennsylvania and then we just learned this morning, dominion voting systems in wisconsin or in michigan will have a chance to review those as well. what else is on your horizon just real quick as far as you advanced this on the field? >> i think the biggest lawsuit to watch, the one that has the

most chance of prevailing right now is in wisconsin where they clearly have wisconsin law, the supreme court basically looked favorably upon the merits of the case and just said work your way from the lower court up so wisconsin is the state to watch, nevada too there's an appeal those are the two but we've got to fix mail-in voting for this election and the future pete: there is no doubt about that. kayleigh mcenany, thank you so much for the update and your time this morning we appreciate it. >> thank you. pete: you got it. will over to you. will: thanks, man. turning now to your headlines joe biden doing a flip flop over the advice he had given former president obama during the mission to kilo sam a bin laden and the president-elect suggesting they do an extra fly- over to confirm the terrorist was in pakistan during a cnn document. >> i think you should wait, and do one more pass, and i said to mr. president follow your instincts on this one. will: biden is previously said numerous times that he told obama not to go forward with the

2011 raid. obama also stated biden had " weighed in against the raid" in his latest memoire. >> get ready, fans. nascar fans, that is. limited attendance will be allowed for the 63rd running of the daytona 500 in february, an exact capacity has not yet been revealed for the great american race. the daytona international speedway can holdup to 100,000 people. safety measures will include social distancing and temperature checks taken at entrances. >> spacex is preparing for its next launch this morning. the company's new and improved spacecraft will take off for the international space station. it was supposed to launch last night but it was delayed due to weather and it'll be the first mission of the new dragon capsule which can carry 50% more cargo than before. it is loaded with 6,400 pounds of research and supplies for christmas dinner, not all 6,400 is for christmas dinner but it's included in that tonnage. >> and a washington state driver

is pulled over for a not-so- bright idea. the state trooper says the man was driving extremely with extremely dim headlights. using large flashlights to replace his broken headlights, they were attached with duct tape, mcguiver-style. the light was so dim because both batteries were dying and also driving with a suspended license, but you have to give him credit for ingenuity. pete: respect. he tried. will: he tried. jedediah: that's amazing. [laughter] oh, my gosh. who would even think of that? i would not even think of that. that's pretty impressive. will: somebody that needed light ahead of them in the dark. jedediah: very true. [laughter] former president obama says our democracy is in danger and its threat is journalism. maria bartiromo responds to those claims, next. >> ♪ how will i know if he really loves me, i say a prayer with every heartbeat, i fall in love whenever we meet, i'm

came from one point of view singularly for half a century and president obama seems to be pining for those days when there was really just one point of view, everyone heard from. what are your thoughts? maria: yeah, i mean, i agree with that, pete. part of the issue is what took place in 2016, and this sort of is the cornerstone to the disagreement. i mean, i've reported on really so deeply about how the intelligence agencies were weaponized against the incoming president and for me, that was topic a. that was the biggest story i'd ever seen. the fact that the president's critics were able to turn the intelligence agency, the infrastructure of the intelligence community against a sitting president and because of that, i was very, you know, motivated to seek out truth and tell the truth about what took place. a lot of us were. you guys did it on fox & friends

as well a number of our colleagues did it. a big portion of the media refused to accept it. they did not like the fact that they were 100% wrong for two and a half, three years, they went on the air and they said that president trump colluded with russia, and it became this massive story and took the wind out of sales for three years that the media was going crazy, reporting on this , and i felt the need to constantly come back and say wait a minute this is what we learned on "sunday morning futures" and this is what we learned when we talked to the congressman that actually saw the redacted documents and this is what we learn when we heard from witness testimony and that was up against the brick wall for a long time, and i think that's part of what took place, that the critics of president trump were trying to take him down so aggressively with lies, with leaks, with the intelligence infrastructure of the u.s. government turning against him. i mean, newspapers got pulitzer

prizes for their reporting and the washington post and the new york times have still yet to have any, oh, i'm sorry there was no russia collusion, no maya culpa's whatsoevernd i think that's part of what took place with the media not to mention the fact that the media never accepted donald trump, hated him from the beginning and really had a heart time reporting truth around president trump. i mean, when you talk about look , we don't know what's true what isn't, you have to say that we're part of that as well. it's a different, it's a different narrative here than you're going to get on cnn, a completely different narrative. i'm trying to seek out the truth , and i'm trying to understand what took place in terms of this russia collusion nonsense. i've been doing that for three years. a lot of people in the media just refuse to accept it and refuse to admit that they were long, and so i think that is part of what took place that president obama is talking about , and by the way it was president obama's team and his intelligence agencies, that

aggressively worked against president trump, including during what's supposed to be a peaceful transition back in 2017 we're going to talk about that this morning and the former congressman who was among the people who sniped out the wrongdoing, john ratcliffe now obviously the sitting director of national intelligence and he's going to weigh in on all of this including what we know in terms of election interference, what we know from foreign actors and of course, the big cahoona of all and that is china and the threat that china represents to the united states, he says if there's one nation state that is able to kill the american dream, it's china, so we're going to talk about that as well this morning. jedediah: 11 minutes to "sunday morning futures" maria bartiromo thanks for joining us this morning. pete: thanks, maria. will: thank you. jedediah: straight ahead with playoffs right around the corner the nfl is putting new covid restrictions in place, fox nfl kickoff host charissa thompson is here with an impact plus a preview of week 13 action on fox

another nfc south today and the falcons playing good football since firing dan quinn and i'm not about firing coaches , but they are 4 and 2 since firing dan quinn and they get julio jones and todd gurley back so this game will be closer than most people think. will: another big one i think is the cardinals and rams because the nfc west is fascinating and murray is going to do something super cool wearing his cleats to honor his grandfather, a purple heart recipient. but that's a good game all along as you know the nfc west is the division in the nfl right now and it's a tight race the seahawks have just a slight edge, you know, over the rams and they also have a big game today against the giants who will be playing with their back up colt mccoy, but that arizona rams game is a good one and you mentioned kyler murray, my cause, my cleats a great initiative that the nfl does and he is honoring his grandfather and our own michael vick, sat down with wallaroo so that will
