have the most diverse cabinet ever. how do you feel about the meeting he's going to have later today with the naacp? >> black people helped joe biden win this election as they do it every democrat who wins for president or primary but the intriguing parties i've seen reporting showing civil rights groups felt frozen out of the joe biden movement and no surprise to me democrats do this often, use black people and throw them away when they no longer need them. will be an intriguing meeting to see what they demand and if they get anything for the vote african americans gave joe biden and i don't have high hopes. shannon: progressive groups had high hopes and there is concern on the far left that what happens in the biden cabinet may not appease them. one individual writing people from the obama biden world who

thought of themselves as progressives are doing well even if bernie or warren supporters might not have the self application by a lot of these people. when all is said and done when all the cabinet members are announced will progressives be happy? >> know they won't. they never will be. progressives, they realized in 2016, democrats have no interest in doing what they want, they just use them for their goats. a lot of progressives in 2016, they appreciated some of the things donald trump, his populism, they liked that but i expect them to be satisfied with any bone biden throws because certainly he's not interested or the folks in his orbit interested in acquiescing to their demand but we will see.

made the he will go further to the left but doesn't seem they are that interested because it doesn't identify with the american people. shannon: jillian: a lot of people killed in chicago, 39 shot. the overall murder rate, 50% since last year and there are members of chicago city council pushing to defund the police. try to make sense of that. if they get their way what happens to chicago? >> a bunch of idiots in empty suits is what it sounds like. a podcast yesterday on out loud with giano caldwell we talked about the defund the police issue and as you know, oversaw the breonna taylor case. the truth of the matter is aoc and those who said we have to defund the police, those who are

dying because the police have been defunded in places by los angeles, new york another place where crime has skyrocketed the blood of those individuals, those victims are on the hands of aoc and others. how dare you say to the people who live in poverty-stricken crime-ridden areas that the police shouldn't be there, how dare you assume to know what the challenges are people facing these communities, how dare you? assume that after one term in office you have the solution, you work collectively with the group to solve issues and the people in chicago and other places need to look at the elected officials they continue to tell them year after year it is time for a placement of the democratic party. >> the goal is to help these communities it is remarkable the solutions people come up with, that outlandish and counter to those goals. it is a real.

asked us to do. we close for 2 and a half months in the beginning. everybody was terrified because of information we got and as things progressed we got mixed messages not only from scientists and doctors but legislators and governors, our mayors and city officials. we opted to stay open and had overwhelming support as things have progressed in our area. a lot more businesses have chosen to do the same thing. it is not a matter of bucking the system. it is a matter of survival. we are losing tens of thousands of businesses across our country everything they. the economy of this country is tanking and our governors and

the people telling us what to do or doing something else, do as i say, don't do as i do is not going to work. >> you are sympathetic to covid-19 health concerns because your husband has a compromised immune system so you said stay at home, i'll run the deli by myself. tell us how you're making sure all of your customers stay safe. >> we are following the initial mandates that all my employees wear masks. i have a sign on my door that asks that our customers wear a mask, if they don't we don't force them. i would say it is about 50/50. we have marks on the floor, 50% of our tables out of the building and a hand wash sink in our kitchen, hands-free soap,

water and paper towel system, we use that often and we've done everything, the initial mandates. >> trying to do everything you can. the national restaurant federation is warning of an economic freefall. they say 110,000 closures have occurred since the start of the pandemic and 500,000 are at risk of closing. a lot of people say it has to be one or the other, we will shut down but we need government relief. how much wood stimulus, another round of paycheck protection program loans, how much would that help your small business? >> i don't want stimulus. i want to keep my business open. want to respect the mandates to keep people safe. if you are like my husband you stay home, he doesn't go out, doesn't do things, people that

is what are people who are compromised need to do. if the people that don't want to come in my business don't want to they don't have to. i have a choice, i have taken out, dine in, delivery and curbside. they have an option to pretty much do what they want. and we do. we do all of those. i did another interview this morning and got response from all over the country, offers of money. a lady from florida offered to pay for the next person's lunch. the gentleman who wanted to write a check. there is support for us out there. >> it is good that you have a support system but so understand where you are coming from and there's always this thing looming over your business because you are being told to shut down but you can't because you have to make a living. thank you for joining us, best

the retired general's oppose uphill battle. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, joe biden will reportedly nominate retired 4-star general lloyd austin to be his secretary of defense. if austin is confirmed by the senate he would be the first african-american to lead the department. he was previously head of us central command to oversee us forces in iraq and afghanistan despite serving the armies and the mid-1970s, his road back to the pentagon will face immense criticism. you took part in infamous 2015 congressional hearing where he admitted $500 million us program to train forces in serially produced 4 or 5 fighters. the new york times opinion section released a piece, boyd austin should not be secretary of defense. and the reaction to this plant picked by president-elect biden

to choose someone to be the pentagon biden will have to deal with a number of other regional problems ahead of the political problems in washington. one of those sits across the persian gulf from where we are standing and that it iran was a country that pledged to continue nuclear and military aspirations. >> a fierce defender of the affordable care act have to be the department of health and human services. >> we need the aca more than ever. no country has done worse than ours but just as vigorously as the president and his administration are fighting to destroy the affordable care act we are fighting to save it for every american. >> he may not have a medical background xavier becerra will be tests with expanding the ac into what the president elect is doubled bidencare. is politics taking precedence

over the pandemic? 7 denson joined me now. is the best person to lead hhs somebody who's only medical experience is being a cheerleader for the aca? >> i have my concerns at this is a drastic shift from the trump administration where alex azar who wasn't a doctor remember did run a pharmaceutical company and understand the inner workings of that and to his credit we are seeing vaccines because of hhs efforts. i have concerns about becerra and his lack of understanding of the healthcare world especially given the pandemic we are in. >> uses wheat from the attorney general, he tweets i helped pass the affordable care act as california's attorney general, defendant the secretary of health and human services. i will build on our progress and ensure every american has access to quality affordable healthcare through the pandemic and beyond is only one mention of the

pandemic, he tripled down on the aca, should americans be confident in what he will do in response to the pandemic specifically the vaccine rollout that will occur during his time as hhs secretary? >> his primary focus will be the expansion of obamacare and the rolling out of bidencare. that is what he built his career on, voting in the eleventh congress and defending it as attorney general of california but the biggest challenge facing the country, our biggest threat is the pandemic, the execution of operation warp speed, getting most of our citizens inoculated so we can move past this. todd: not a lot of senators are on board with his including tom cotten who slammed the nomination saying i am not going to vote for this guy.

do you see becerra getting confirmed? >> probably. this is a washington insider who knows his way around dc. he probably does get confirmed but now more than ever the focus should be georgia because the expansion of the affordable care act into a public option and massive government takeover of healthcare hinges on what happens in georgia. >> it shows how important the runoff is going to be. thu very much. shannon: los angeles district attorney sworn into office and announced an aggressive agenda. promising dramatic kamala justice reform that includes eliminating hash bail for many offenses, and reopening past cases including police use of force which is first major meeting on winning his race was black lives matter organizers who were critical of outgoing district attorney jackie lacey. with 2 this was a man is arrested for breaking into tom

coming up.

>> open! open! [applause] jillian: 90-year-old woman the first in the world to receive the pfizer covid-19 vaccine. >> doctor mark siegel, how important is it that the world see that moment on the tv screen from a public health perspective. >> i love it. it is the beginning of a lot of that because we have so much vaccine hesitancy and noncompliance, at a moment when a vaccine has been created that may be 95% effective and been shown to be safe than 100,000 people so far. we needed to stamp out covid-19.

we need a 90-year-old woman to say i did fine, now you. >> he seems like a really cool lady, she was working at the four years ago, turning 91 next week. we are happy she received the vaccine a lot of critics would say it is an american comedy the created the vaccine, should have been an american to receive it first. >> it shouldn't be national ins that way. there is a lot of multinational cooperation. the pfizer vaccine was made in germany, moderna is a company from massachusetts, they have been shepherding and looking over that. it is different places but what operation warp speed did was went ahead and bought 100 million doses of these vaccines

which increased the wheel towards incentivizing vaccine production, not speeding the science but speeding the manufacturing. a huge stage in the market. todd: donald trump is expected to sign a coronavirus vaccine executive order prioritizing americans over foreign nations. prioritizing distribution to americans at unseen speeds including framework for national access and working with partners to procure the highly effective vaccines why do you think an executive order like that is necessary? >> it is going to send a message. it is because -- is because biden has people advising him like the key manual who i've debated on air who believes in, quote, vaccine nationalism where supposedly the vaccine has to be a worldwide commodity that i told carly why i think it is but the other side of this which i believe strongly, we have 15

million documented cases of covid-19 in the united states, 15 million out of 67 million total in the world so i think we have to focus on getting our country vaccinated. we are the biggest hotspot in the world, that is what every country with our activity of covid-19 should be taking, not how to export a vaccine but how to get our people vaccinated so i agree with this executive order. shannon: the american medical association says prisoners should be prioritized in receiving this vaccine in six states, here is colorado's governor pushing back on that idea. >> no way prisoners are going to get in before members of the vulnerable population, people in nursing homes, veterans facilities, front-line workers, people who haven't committed any crimes. jillian: what is your reaction? do you think prisoners should be included in phase i?

>> know. i think prisoners are hugely important and should come right on the heels of what the governor was saying, the governor should stop talking about closing his restaurants, just a little plug about that and focus on the vaccine issue. here's the thing about prisoners. over 220,000 prisoners have gotten covid-19. they get it 5 times more likely than the non-prison population. it spreads like wildfire in prisons and the death rate is one third and you know what else happens in prisons? it spreads to prison guards and out into the community. it is hugely important population to get vaccinated. i would start with healthcare workers and put prisons right after that. todd: we appreciate your time on this historic morning. >> a minnesota christmas light display being shame for harmful

impact to the community. in an anonymous letter to the unidentified person they write the lights are reminder of systemic biases against neighbors who don't celebrate christmas and can't afford to put up lights on their own. >> i'm so angry about this story, gaining the attention of for a baltimore ravens quarterback derek anderson, saw this coming a long time ago, that is not life. you know how they should punish them? chevy chase to their house, put up the christmas vacation light display. >> still ahead, new york city ordered him to close but he refused. >> i find myself being reasonable. >> that was back in spring, the defiance taylor updating us on how he is doing next.

shannon: seattle mayor jenny durkin will not be seeking reelection. the democrats as she wants to focus on dealing with the challenges stemming from the covid-19 pandemic for the rest of her term. >> i decided not to run for reelection because seattle, we still have some tough months bad. i will focus on leading our city as we plan to reopen. >> she faces us live criticism over the summer for not being proactive in stopping the autonomous zone known as shop created after the death of george floyd. donald trump awarding dan gable the presidential medal of freedom.

[applause] >> gable is an olympic gold medalist and largely considered the greatest american wrestler. >> i'm larger than you. could i take you in wrestling? what i have a big advantage? >> no chance. >> no chance. the first wrestler to receive the nation's highest civilian honor and he will join "fox and friends" to talk about that historic moment. todd: breakdancing an official olympic sport. that is video of carley shimkus showing off her skills, is in diesel showing off his skills to

smile pull up the vin diesel video. look at that. carley: why are we showing this video from breakdancing. >> changed significantly over the last few years. >> to curb any confusion i'm not a break dancer. i have never tried but i think i could probably do something with that. >> my research was incorrect. >> in the next hour of "fox and friends first" nancy pelosi getting heat from critics who argue she's playing politics with the pandemic after she said this. >> that is a total game changer. a new president and a vaccine. >> brian babin says democrats hatred for the president every decision. he joins us live. >> tomi lahren on why she thinks americans need to resist the lockdowns right now coming up in
