makes it kind of intriguing wonder where we are going. >> dana: keep an eye on it. all right. that's it for everyone. great show. we will see you back here on monday. ♪ ♪ will christmas means to me, my love. pete: welcome, come on in very if he has been in here as it has been all month lock. welcome to "fox & friends" 6:00 a.m. look who is here in the center rachel campos-duffy. good morning, rachel. i know the teleprompter sesame, then will then rachel. rachel i am going to you first. how are you. >> very good. merry christmas to both of you. excited to be back. really, really excited that i get to do "fox & friends" while wearing uggs in my basement. thank you for that.

will: more comfortable than what we are wearing in studio. rachel: i know. will: we are glad to have you with us, rachel. we have a lot of news to get to. what a day for this country. pete: some days you wake up and say what are we going to talk about today is one of those days. a lot of great guests as well. we start this morning with a fox news alert. the fda approves pfizer's covid-19 vaccine for emergency use in the u.s. officially. paving the way for widespread distribution. lucas tomlinson is live outside the fda in maryland as the first dose is set to be administered in less than 24 hours. lucas, good morning. >> good morning, guys. normally it takes years to make a vaccine let alone get it approved. this one done in record time. president trump touted the achievement last night from the oval office. >> our nation has achieved a medical miracle. we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just nine months. this is one of the greatest

scientific accomplishments in history. it will save millions of lives and soon end the pandemic once and for all. >> some 6 million doses of the pfizer vaccine will be districted across the country this he could would. u.p.s. is leading operations in the east. fedex in the west. the first shots could be given in just days. doctors and nurses as well as the elderly are expected to get the first shots. operation warp speed officials want to get all americans vaccinated by june which will require a healthcare lien effort are provided a guide who should get the vaccine first state governments will make those decisions. the head of pfizer said getting emergency use approval from the fda was a team effort. >> together, with other manufacturers, collaboration is expected to deliver hundreds of millions of doses to americans by the end of next year. >> there is a press conference here at the fda in three hours. we will keep you updated, guys.

will: all right, lucas, thank you so much. you know, pete, rachel, in a year where bad news has become the norm. negativity we wake up to almost on a daily basis. i don't think this can be highlighted and emphasized enough. what we are looking at is not really not just a will will scientific but political miracle as well. a vaccine being distributed across this country is scientifically something you could not have imagined. yet, each at that rachel, politically, it is a miracle as well. this with the fda dragging it feet a little bit more than it should have on this to get a bureaucracy to move with this kind of speed along with science is simply amazing. i want to give you quickly this. this is a timeline for vaccine distribution coming up over the coming months. december healthcare personnel, long-term care facility residents. they will begin to get the vaccine. in january and then through march it will look like this, essential workers. that's non-healthcare workers and beyond march high risk adults. that's the plan the next couple

of months. rachel? rachel: well, listen, i love what president trump just said. the pandemic, this virus started in china. it's going to end right here in america. that's the kind of optimism that we love to hear. we have the most amazing scientists and they are amazing. they can get things done. usually it's the government slowing everything down. operation warp speed is so perfect for donald trump. you know, whether this election moves forward or not, you know, or biden gets in or not, this is a hallmark of donald trump the way he does things. he is a businessman. he knows that government and regulations can get in the way. and he got rid of all the red tape and the road block and here we are where our most vulnerable citizens are going to be able to get vaccines in walmart, in cvs, and the most convenient fashion and free. it's really -- sometimes government works. and this is one of those times. pete: government can work when as you mention you put a businessman in charge who says

we are not going to pray by the rules of the past especially on something like this. it truly is historic. i remember when this all first started march, april, we talked about how we get out of this and a lot of people kept saying it's the vaccine. two years for a vaccine, three years. you didn't see your way through the tunnel. president said we are going to do this as fast as possible and truly they delivered in historic fashion. not soon enough, because the cover of the "new york post" this morning says you are a mean one, mr. grinch, cuomo because indoor dining shut again here in new york city starting on monday. all of these things are topics that our own brian kilmeade will be talking to, well, the man himself president donald trump today. he's talking to him today at the army-navy game which we will also be talking about all morning long. certainly the topic of the vaccine will be part of it. we will air that interview tomorrow morning on "fox & friends." look at brian kilmeade doing weekend work for us. he never stops anyway we know that we will have it on during the game and it tomorrow as well. another topic the president will

certainly be asked about the ongoing legal challenges still moving forward. one of which the case that texas brought basically arguing that in the states of pennsylvania, wisconsin, georgia, and michigan, because the rules were changed in extra constitutional ways, those outcomes should be challenged. well, the supreme court ultimately, yesterday, rejected hearing that challenge from texas. disappointing a lot of people who feel like just at least an airing of it is worthwhile of the highest court. matt gates talked about how he was one of those house members, over 130, i believe, signed on to that lawsuit in addition to those states in yellow who joined with texas to say we would like the supreme court to chime in to make sure that legal votes are counted and the election can be trusted. representative matt gaetz chimed in on that on the story last night, listen. >> remember, this is not will occasion the trump campaign failing to produce evidence. it's a failure of any court to exercise jurisdiction sufficiently to allow us to

produce evidence. oftentimes these motions to dismiss have been granted on the sufficiency of the pleadings not on the sufficiency of the evidence. and the people's house may be the last forum available for us to make those arguments. will: the supreme court last night, rachel, pete, suggested that texas did not have standing to file suit against other states and their election procedures. we will be talking to jonathan turley fox news legal analyst later in the show. we will both talk about what happened last night at the supreme court and where the trump legal defense team goes from here. for now, rachel, at least the piggest lawsuit of the week has been rejected by the supreme court. rachel: yeah, it's real travesty we have a fox news poll that actually says, you know, 36% of all voters believe the election was stolen. but, look at these numbers. trump voters 77%. 68% of republicans. essentially 50 million americans who don't feel comfortable with the election results because

they believe it was rigged or it was -- yeah, it's rigid. that there was cheating involved. and i think that, you know it's one thing if the supreme court had heard the evidence and then came out and said look, there is nothing here. i think you get the unity that the democrats and joe biden say they want. but, are if you don't allow this to air out, when you have that many americans uncomfortable with the results and with how all the shenanigans that they saw happening in this election, i think it's very troubling and i think it undermines, you know, moving forward, not just the biden administration if he gets, you know, sworn in, but i think there is just a mistrust or a distrust of our institutions in general. pete: when you dismiss things or as youtube is now doing saying you are not allowed to put a video up that would question the results, you only solidify people even more in their belief. again, that poll from fox was not was it rigged or a little bit off. it's was it stolen?

rachel: you are right. pete: people that you know or talk to that resonates with the people trump supporters and republicans have that feeling that this election was not fair, illegal votes were counted and that ultimately that's going to -- we are going to live with that sentiment. should it be joe biden on inauguration day and a lot of trump supporters watch what continues to go on in the will suppression and then what happened beforehand with hunter biden the way stories were suppress suppressed. none of it felt above board. when it comes to the actual legal challenges, we will have rudy giuliani, former new york city mayor and president trump's personal attorney, he's going to be on the program later on. we will ask him where is it? is there a recourse. electors start voting to certify results starting this week. what is the plan of the trump legal team. certainly they look at these numbers in a poll like this, will, they feel like the public portion of it they have convinced people that there was fraud there. the question is can you do it in a court of law.

will: rachel brought this up a minute ago saying people have lost faith and trust in institutions. youtube suppressing any videos of election fraud. let me give you one of the stories that undermines any trust in any institution much less the media of this past election cycle that is as you pointed out the suppression of the hunter biden story. this week we learned that, in fact, the doj and fbi had, in fact, been vetting hunter biden. this, of course, after months from the mainstream media telling you that not wa only wat fake news but russian disinformation. pald faced lies to the american public. now that we know hunter biden was being investigated. joe biden got pressed on this by one reporter out there, fox news' peter doocy. this is what that sounded like. >> did hunter biden commit a crime? have you spoken to your son, mr? >> i'm proud of my son.

will: that's the one, rachel. rachel: yeah, sorry about that. will this is not a victimless crime. first of all, this investigation will tell us, you know, where that money came from and if that money came, you know, what foreign country it came from and if that money actually ended up some of it, at least with joe biden himself. so this is a very important investigation. it's not just some minor, you know, thing. it has huge consequences. and it's also not a victimless crime. it's not just some it tax thing. it will future potential president of the united states joe biden. sell out our country and will children and future to line their pockets. this is a huge story. and i would say that the media looks just awful through all of this. i don't know how they ever recover from it. pete: they won't. they can't. peter doocy was not an approved reporter to be called upon. hence, he was dismissed quickly.

and how do you say you are going to ban fracking and energy in this country but then you go work with a chinese energy firm. the reason it matter is because of you who joe biden is compromised. not just on principle but on whether or not, i mean, whether or not he is tied in ways that it would compromising to him to the chinese government or chinese companies over there. there is a new email unearthed today that shows when hunter biden was setting up offices he wanted to make sure that this chinese executive was an office mate with joe biden. does that matter? certainly does if you are going to stai stare down the chinese d choose pete buttigieg. it doesn't stoke any fear. will will gregg jarrett talked about the lack of media coverage when you wremps referenced, rachel. here he was yesterday talking about. >> it this wasn't media incompetence. this was willful, martha. this was deliberate. this was the worst cover-up by the media in my lifetime. it wasn't just the censorship by

twitter and facebook. no. the "new york times," "the washington post," cnn, msnbc they all refused to cover the story. they kept assuring the american public there's nothing to report here. there's nothing to investigate. will: i think what gregg jarrett said there is incredibly important. rachel and pete you talked about on joe biden potentially being come pro-mighted his relationship with the chinese government is one very important angle to this story. the other is as gregg jarrett pointed out we are not simply looking at incompetence from mainstream media and bias. we're looking at deliberate misinformation, cover-up. we are looking at a conspiracy since the american people do not know about a story before they go into a election. you cannot emphasize this enough this was the american media lying to the american people in order to affect an election outcome. that is beyond reproach. pete: true, what he said. rachel: sounds like meddling in the election something we talked a lot about.

will: we will have more on that throughout the morning but still ahead house members demanding answers after will congressman accused having ties to an alleged spy. will why isn't this getting coverage? lieutenant michael waltz weighs in coming up. ♪ feel my heart beating ♪ you make me feel ♪ donate now at redcross.org

texas did not have understanding to bring the suit. tell us what that means. >> you know, for a while a number of us have been trying to really tell people that they shouldn't put too much stake in this case because it was very unlikely to prevail. the court has never allowed other states to force compliance of the state laws of the states like wisconsin and georgia. this is something that has to come within your state. so it was carrying a lot of bag gamg going into the supreme court. it was extremely up likely to succeed. and that's what made me a bit uncomfort being with the president highlighting this case. like someone buying a lottery ticket and planning to buy a house with it. it was the longest of long shots. and it basically fell out oas we thought there were two justices that thought the case should

have been accepted only because they felt you had to accept it. they didn't necessarily support it on the merits. seven of the justices clearly didn't even think that was necessary. and so, this didn't get any further than the pennsylvania case that the court rejected about a week ago. and that case they rejected it within 40 minutes of the final briefing filed. so these cases are still having trouble legally creating a foundation for relief. and we see many of these patterns across the country. a lot of these cases have been dismissed on standing. this threshold issue of who is allowed to bring a case. but, other cases have been rejected on other grounds, including what's called laches. a lot of these judges have said you waited too long. that is these changes were made months ago you should have come to us before the election. you can't wait and then after everyone vote and shortly before the electoral college meets, say i want to just throw out all of

these results. another problem which has been coming up in these states is the relief factor. some of these judges have said, look, you have made valid claims. in the pennsylvania case said, look, these voters have made a valid claim that their votes should have been counted. but the judge said that doesn't mean that i'm not going to count millions of other votes. so your relief is the problem. those are all recurring problems. will. will: not that these issues aren't obviously very important. these are procedural issues. you are obviously a law professor for what it's worth. i am an attorney. i understand the importance of standing and relief but for many in the american public they're looking at saying these are all being thrown out on technicality. i understand these are morton technicalities. the point is the court is not hearing these days based upon their merit. whether or not there was enough election fraud and clearly many americans believe there was election fraud. what do you say to them about why that's not being heard in the legal system?

>> no. i'm sympathetic to that because people feel like they are not being given a full review. we have a case in wisconsin today around noon where the wisconsin supreme court is going to be reviewing that case. once again, that's probably that's clearly not enough to overturn the results of the election. will: that was my last question for you really quickly where do we go from here in terms of legal cases is wisconsin next the last fight for the legal team. >> yeah, there is a few cases like wisconsin that are still out there. there are torpedoes in the water. they are not big enough to sink the ship. i think that that was the big play that failed last night in the supreme court. will. will: all right, jonathan, we appreciate your time this morning shining light on this for what it's worth as well. later, we will be talking to former new york city mayor and trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani. he will let us know where they plan to go from here. that's a little bit later. 9:30 eastern time on "fox & friends." still ahead, new york and pennsylvania are enacting new

are. rachel: back with quick headlines starting with a fox news alert. a minnesota police officer is shot in the line of duty overnight. the officer was responding to a call about a man wanted for violating a court order. the police say the man opened fire before running away. he was arrested about 30 minutes later. thankfully the officer is in stable condition. six people are hurt after a car plows through a crowd of protesters in new york city. warning here, this video may be a little bit hard to watch.

[screams] the driver speeding through an intersection hitting several people who were protesting against ice. they were taken to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. the driver was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment. pete? pete: thank you, rachel. all right. new york and pennsylvania announcing new indoor dining baned aing to a growing list of states cracking down on restaurants. so can they survive these growing lists of restrictions. here to discuss owne joe, ownerr in virginia and phil, owner of restaurant in hershey, pennsylvania. thank you for being here this morning. reuben, in new york city we wake up this morning hearing that indoor dining closed yet again. did you expect this? what do you do?

>> first and most we all wanted this situation under control and health is always the top priority. with that said, restaurants truly are an ecosystem. it takes a small village to operate these restaurants from employees to the distributers to the farmers from the beginning of covid we really haven't had much direction, much help, much really guidance on how to proceed with this covid situation. i think government is asking us to be responsible but i think they must do the same thing back to us. right now it really is nearly impossible to survive under these situations. pete: if you can't be open, winter is coming. government won't provide assistance after government tells you to shut down you are in an impossible spot. joe deal in virginia not completely shut but faced the same kind of restrictions. you point out that businesses just across the street from you don't have to apply by the same standards. explain that as a restaurant owner. >> well, yes, sir, if you look

across my soldier shoulder busin tennessee. the business i'm in is virginia. a state line separates our streets. monday we start on a curfew so any restaurant after 12:00 most of our customers will walk across the street. there is no curfew on the tennessee side. we all are under some really tough restrictions right now in restaurants. ours is a little different because we are split. our city is split why state lines. our virginia regulations are much tougher than the regulations in tennessee. right now we just -- on monday we have groups no more than 10. the tennessee side has zero restrictions on groups. so it does make it hard on a restaurant. especially this time of year not to hold groups. this is christmas party time. it's really tough right now. pete: have you considered staying open saying don't go over to tennessee stay here but you have no choice but to abide by it at this point?

>> i'm a rule follower and most of my friends are part of the police department. and i have the utmost respect for these guys. i don't want to put them in an awkward position. so, you know, i would like to kick back but i don't think that it's time for me to do that yet. we are still afloat. i don't have a problem at all with other restaurants who are. i will support them 110%. i'm just not to that point yet. pete: phil, you are in west virginia where the governor just announced three weeks shutdown on very short notice. how can you plan for shutdowns? >> well, it's tough to plan for a shutdown, especially when you have perishable products and more importantly when you have staffs that are living paycheck to paycheck. and we're at the holiday season. my problem this time was the governor on wednesday stated that he had no intentions of closing our businesses. so, on thursday, all of our businesses bought food products and staffed up for the weekend. and then yesterday he said we

have 24 hours' notice to close. i don't understand from a business perspective how you can close a billion dollars industry with 24 hours' notice. and we are not doing it. pete: so you are going to stay open? >> we are absolutely staying open. i'm going to stay open to serve my food products that i have in house. i think it's unfair to ask us all to close after 24 hours. we have a very large coalition of restaurants that are going to stay open. and then i will reevaluating it based upon what the state decides to do and based upon when my food inventories are depleted next week. pete: phil, that's an important point if groups of businesses come together and stay open together it changes the entire dynamic. reuben, joe, and phil, thank you for what you do. and let's hope that the government doesn't bait and switch you yet again. god bless you. thanks for the update. appreciate it? >> thank you. pete: coming up, a second

investigation is purportedly launched against hunter biden. this time examining his ties to china and burisma. congressman michael walls says this is just the tip of the iceberg and joins us on that live next. ♪ and festive gift baskets...

and then i offered to help. and i did help. i was thanked by the fbi for my help and that person is no longer in the country. and i was a little surprised to read about my cooperation in that story because the story says that, you know, there was no -- there was never a suspicion of wrongdoing on my part. people who did had share classified information were the people who leaked this story. and, to do that against the critic of the president they may think they are going to silence me. they are not going to silence me. will: the important point that the american people need to understand is not that a chinese spy snuggled up to eric swalwell but that someone told many on him. let's bring in michael waltz a member of the task force. thank you for joining us. want to get your reaction to this story congressman swalwell as well. >> incredibly rich coming from congressman swalwell who sat at shift's right hand during the

entire impeachment investigation. the leaker in chief that was coming out just flying out of the intelligence committee as they were going after the president. the point that i want everybody to understand today is that the country is flooded with chinese communist money. this is a much bigger and pervasive problem. it's in hollywood. it's in think tanks. it's in journalism. it's in "wall street journal." and it's going after progressive politicians. like swalwell. they went after senator dianne feinstein and put an operative in her campaign and these aren't -- now we are getting reports of jon ossoff in georgia that was taking anti-democracy money from a linked entity in china. these aren't members, progressive members on, you know, the shoe shine committee. they're on intelligence, they are on senate intelligence. they are on house armed services. and i think we need to take a hard look at how they are voting, how they are voting

vis-a-vis or defense bill, our intelligence bill, and as we go, you know, really truly take on what i think is the greatest threat this country has ever faced in the chinese communist party how they are viewing it and what they are saying. rachel: congressman, you bring up such a great point you actually sit on that china task force and it's a task force that nancy pelosi refused to put any democrats on. what does that tell you about the democrat party and whether or not they truly are beholding to china and can't be really fair when it comes to issues that involve china? >> well, the sad thing is she had initially agreed with speaker mccarthy. this should be a bipartisan issue. the chinese communist party is in a cold war with the united states just look at president xi's speeches where he talks about replacing the american dream of freedom and democracy with the china dream around the world of prepressure and kowtowing to the communist party. that's the issue here.

we just had vice president biden this year say the rise of china is no big deal. it should happen peacefully. we can all get along with this notion that we are just nice to them they will be nice to us back. that's not what their leadership is saying. navy is larger than ours. launching more into the space than the rest of the world combined. flooding the zone in the united states with money in a way the soviet union was never able to do to influence all of american society and around the world. to eventually, again, kowtow to beijing and how they see the future not us. and i'm not going to have my grandchildren grow up in a world led by chinese communist or, for that matter the united states led by democratic socialists. and that link there is something that should scare every american. pete: that is a link. it's a very fair point. you know, we talked earlier about how the hunter biden story was suppressed before the election. we are now learning there is a hunter biden investigation in

pittsburgh that is focused on his dealings with china and with burisma. where does that go? should there be a special counsel? talk to us about this development. >> there absolutely should. particularly what i'm watching. this is a president trump appointed u.s. attorney in delaware that could be replaced by an incoming biden administration. there needs to be a special counsel in place to ensure that we get to the bottom of it. because it's absolutely clear big tech isn't going to help. mainstream media isn't going to help. and democrats have been saying nothing to see here. but, right now that we are post election, then suddenly we are going to cover the story. will: congressman, you along with 127, 130 other members of congress signed on to join the texas lawsuit questioning the election results in several states across this country. >> yeah. will: the orlando sentinel has apologized for endorsing you, i believe, right, for backing this election lawsuit which was just rejected by the supreme court last night. here's what they wrote. i want to read it to you and our viewers. we apologize to our readers for

endorsing mike waltz in the 2020 general election for congress. we had no idea, had no way of knowing at that time that waltz was not committed to democracy, our bad. congressman, your reaction? >> well, they also called me a coward and said i was dangerous to the country. last i checked, guys, you know, trying to settle a dispute through an electoral system through the courts is exactly what our democracy is all about. pete, you and i have served in places where they don't have a court system. where elected leaders who disagree are mobilizing people to violence in the street. i signed on to an amicus brief because i think there were real constitutional article one, article iii will 14th amendment issues in pennsylvania and georgia in particular that our supreme court should hear and should rule upon. that's what democracy is all about. a settling things in the judicial system. to tell me now that i'm a

administered in less than 24 hours. the pandemic may have begun in china but we are ending it right here in america. rachel: here with new details fox news medical contributor dr. nicole saphier. nicole, welcome. tell us about the speed of this going out and also some people are concerned that the speed might be impacting the safety. how do you feel about that? >> well, rachel, i don't think most people understand what a incredible scientific feat this has been. so multilayer vaccine for technology for a disease than present less than a year and has a 95% efficacy but thanks to operation warp speed it's ready to be distributed and administered within 24 to 48 hours of receiving that fda eua. that is unprecedented. and i understand why people feel that, you know, they don't like the term warp speed. they feel like maybe safety

corners are being cut. that is not the case. the big thing here, the scientific discovery process has he not been tainted whatsoever. what happened was through operation warp speed they were manufacturing the vaccine in parallel while they were still studying it. that usually doesn't happen because there is a chance that the vaccine won't be successful. but because operation warp speed put money into the manufacturing, hoping that it would be successful, that is why we have the vaccine right now. it is not cutting safety corners whatsoever. rachel: now, that said, there are some people in the -- mainly pregnant women that they are saying should not receive this vaccine. why? >> >> well, rightfully so in clinical trials there are certain people excluded studying medications. pregnant people, young it those will -- when you are studying something new. because we don't have data on them we can't necessarily recommend that they take it.

it's possible that it would be completely safe in them we can't prove it. because we can't prove it, we have to hold off on recommending it. there are studies that are going to be started in early 2021 for pregnant people and for others; however, we don't have the data quite yet. which, for those women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, we understand because covid-19 can be scary for them it. is showing to have some negative consequences the best they can do is keep themselves safe. we know how to protect ourselves from the virus. no not only just the vaccine. hand wash, cover your mouth and socially distance. that's what they are going to have to do. rachel: doctor, have you always been giving us amazing advice throughout this pandemic thanks for joining us and giving us the latest on that. it. >> thanks, rachel. rachel: all right, coming up. a north carolina family outraged after being told to take down their 6-foot wooden cross all because it's, quote: not a

rachel: north carolina family fighting back after homeowner's association claimed 6-foot wooden cross is not considered a christmas decoration. will: the hoa writing quote unless biblical references can be provided noting a cross as a symbol of the christmas season for the board to reconsider the cross is not considered to be a

christmas decoration. pete: give us your biblical citation. this morning an update from the homeowners james and dee from raleigh, north carolina, join us now. thank you both for being here this morning. so from what i understand you have had this cross up for five years. this isn't the first year. is this the first year it's been brought to your attention or complained about and where do you think this came from. >> good morning, god bless you. merry christmas to everyone as well. yeah, so we have this cross up initially just this it actually was just this year and had it up around christmas time. the homeowner's association came up we had up it a little longer than easter we got a lot of compliments from my neighbors. they loved it and provided hope for so many people. we believe in the cross and what it stands for. it the stands for the birth, death and refresh your recollection of jesus christ. pete: so part of your response to the hoa which is great you sent a biblical reference back

john chapter 18 o 37 you are a king then set pilot jesus answered you say i'm a king the reason i was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth everyone on the side of truth listens to me. so when they got that bible verse what was the response? >> the response from that is that they accepted the bible verse and they came back and they -- i will just tell you this: they didn't immediately come back after we gave them the bible verses. it was not until another media outlet had gotten in contact with them and then they responded ba from that point. so, it wasn't received that well at first and that was our concern as well, too. why does hoa not want to respond to us but if a media outlet reaches out to them then they will respond? rachel: it's an excellent question. here's a statement from the hoa community's elected board of directors has agreed to allow mr. faison to display his cross for the christmas season. the board rescinded their letter

and requests to remove the cross mr. faison was never fined. they backed down clearly. i'm curious, how did your neighborhoods react? were they defending you? >> yes, our neighbors were. we actually did a poll in the community about 76 percent said stand for the cross we will standing with you. we actually had a couple of neighbors that were willing to go out and get their own cross and put it in their yard. we have the support of our neighbors and friends as well. will: dee, i only have a moment here with you. the details are important in this story. let me see if i understand the underlying issue here. your hoa needed you to prove that the symbol of christ was connected to christmas. is that correct? i do understand the story correctly, dee? >> yes, that's correct. that is exactly right. will. pete: can't make it up. merry christmas to you both. will merry christmas thanks for standing for the cross. >> merry christmas. >> merry christmas. thank you for having us. pete: sometimes the good guys

win. will: i can't believe that prove the cross is related to christmas. coming up, rudy giuliani, congressman ken buck and dallas cowboy legend american legend roger saw it because roger staubach ♪ you're still the one ♪ that i love to touch ♪ still the one ♪ and i can't get enough ♪ we're still having fun, ♪ and you're still the one applebee's 2 for $20. now that's eating good in the neighborhood.

through the entire story. now more serious news. this fox news alert. the fda approved pfizer's controversies vaccine for emergency use in the united states. officially pagan the way for widespread distribution. lucas tomlinson is live outside the fda is maryland as the first dose is set to be administered in less than 24 hours. is that right, lucas? >> that's right, will. when you think it took over two decades to make a polio vaccine the fact that the first coronavirus vaccine has been made and approved in less than a year is nothing short of remarkable. president trump touted the achievement last night from the oval office. >> our nation has achieved a medical miracle. we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just nine months. this is one of the greatest scientific accomplishments in history. it will save millions of lives and soon end the pandemic once and for all. i am thrilled to -- >> some 6 million doses of the vaccine will be distributed across the country beginning this weekend. u.p.s. is leading operations in

the east. fedex in the west. the first shots could be given in days. doctors and nurses as well as the elderly are expected to get the first shots. operation warp speed officials want to get nearly all americans vaccinated by june which will require a healthcare lien effort while the cdc has provided a guide who should get the vaccine first state governments will make the decisions. getting it was a team effort. >> together with other vaccine manufacturers this collaboration is expected to deliver hundreds of millions of doses to americans by the end of next year. , there is a press conference here at the fda in two hours. we will keep you posted on this incredible achievement, guys. rachel: thank you. we talked to -- i talked to dr. saphier in the last hour and here's what she had to say about operation warp speed, which may end up being trump's grittest triumph. >> i don't think most people

understand what an incredible scientific feat this has been. it is so multi-layer. not only do we have a vaccine using novel technology for a disease that has been present less than a year and has 95% efficacy. thanks to operation warp speed it's ready to be distributed and administered within 24 to 48 hours after receiving that fda eua. this is unprecedented. i understand why people feel like they don't like the term warp speed. they feel like safety corners are being cut. that's not the case. the big thing here, the scientific discovery process has not been tainted what sorry. rachel: one of the things that president trump said yesterday that i thought was really great about operation warp speed, he said this virus started in china but it's going to end right here in america. that's the kind of confidence that he has about this and also i think a real credit to him for having gotten rid of so much will road blocks to make this

come out in record speed time. pete: that's it, rachel. it is historic and it scientific achievement. it helps to have a businessman who knows how to get government out of the way so the barriers are removed for the good things to happen. certainly an accomplishment for this president. we will have the president on our program tomorrow through brian kilmeade who will be at the army-navy game today, which is today. brian will be there talking to president donald trump and we are going to air that interview tomorrow on "fox & friends." certainly operation warp speed and the vaccine will be a portion of that. so don't miss that tomorrow morning. we are excited to have brian kilmeade with us tomorrow morning as well. and, you know, i think i i brought you a cover of the post. will: you did. brian gets to go see the president at the army-navy game but we will all be tuning in to that game later today. while i'm holding up props i will show you this from "the new york post." this is this morning. indoor dining is now banned in new york city. this is governor cuomo. governor andrew cuomo as the

grinch. you are a mean one. cuomo the grinch who stole christmas as he bans indoor dining again. this comes as many states across the country begin to lock down once again. the founder of barstool sports. dave portnoy he went on an internet rant, viral video where he talked about all of these shutdowns and what it is doing. what it's stealing from americans. really fascinating portnoy went on he will press den at a. take a look. watch this. >> i can't believe in this country what i consider the most basic right of them all. the right to earn a living. the right to earn a lively hood is now being stolen basic freedoms they are stealing. and i'm not over saying it. they are stealing it and saying it protect us, let us protect ourselves. you are not protecting a family that you just destroyed. there is no creativity from the government. i don't know what the answer is, oh, actually, i do let people [bleep] decide for themselves. if you want to stay home, you

are afraid of corona, stay home. i want to go out. it's not your place to tell me how to live my life. politicians are taking away the right to earn a living. it's that simple. and it's insanity. will: dave is come at this not rachel and pete from a political perspective. coming at this from a entrepreneurial perspective. he founded barstool sports highly successful sports media start-up. he talked about when you pour your blood sweat and tears into a business. when you have given your entire life to a business to have your government rip it away from you. he is speaking on behalf of. he is speaking in place of all these small business owners. these restaurant owners who are actually having their blood, sweat and tears taken from them by the bruit force of mandate. evidence said quite clearly in that video which you can find online i would rather die. this is what i have given my life to and now you are taking it away. rachel. rachel: absolutely. they say, you know, enshrined the pursuit of happiness. for many of us that means working and providing for our families. we don't want to be dependent on

the government. i don't want a check for sitting home during covid and many other small bits owners don't either. i know that's what aoc was suggesting we all do. that's not happiness for a lot of people. it's also not common sense these rules. they have told under the circumstances follow the science. well, vitamin d, fresh air, there is no science that shows anyone has gotten covid from sitting outside and eating. my heart breaks for the workers, for the entrepreneurs, for the small business owners, and for this massive transfer of wealth for our middle class to the most rich elite and well-connected businesses in america. it's a shame we are destroying the middle class. will: really quickly. portnoy points out this isn't in lieu of being smart. this isn't in lieu of being responsible when it comes to protecting you from covid-19. i just want to share this one stat. this is according to governor cuomo's own research. pete: reading my mind. let me know if it's right. a less than 1.5% internal

contact tracing in new york has ever been tied to indoor dining. even if you say the science is on your side, you are ignoring it by shutting down a place. i'm already in will's head and he is in mine. not hard to look at these numbers. choose to lock down. portnoy says let us protect ourselves. will the people decide for themselves based on their risk tolerance. it's not that hard. we talk to restaurant owners who don't have massive twitter feeds to share their feelings like dave portnoy does. we had them on the program. here's what they said. >> government is asking us to be responsible but i think they must do the same thing back to us. right now it is nearly impossible to survive under these situations. >> our city is split by state lines. our virginia regulations are much tougher than the regulations in tennessee. right now we just on monday we have groups no more than 10. the at the present seaside has

zero restrictions on groups. most of our customers will just walk across the street. >> the governor on wednesday stated that he had no intentions of closing our businesses so on thursday all of our businesses bought food products and staffed up through the weekend and then yesterday he said we have 24 hours' notice to close. i don't understand from a business perspective are how you can close a billion-dollar industry with 24 hours notice. will. pete: government at its worse. one day you are open. now you are closed. now do the best you can with the inventory you have. speaking of government at its worse. stick to andrew cuomo who wrote a book about leadership during covid-19 like eisenhower writing a book in 1943 instead of 19 19. here is an ironic stat though. so we learned that covid infections are up more tha than8 hearse% get this daily since andrew cuomo released his book touting his own leadership.

so that was the number of cases on the left on october 13th. today it's 800 percent higher and that is since, will, he wrote a book and how to contain covid-19. will: look at those numbers. putting out a book in the middle of a game as you put out. i don't even know if it was halftime. pete: not even close. will: declaring victory. there was leaked audio this week from internal call with joe biden and i believe civil rights leaders where he said the senate balance of power rests on georgia and as such rests on lang twhang democrats have been using throughout this election cycle including defund the police. i want you to listen to this clip from this call. >> i don't think we should make that a big issue going in before january 5th when the election takes place down n -- in, um, georgia. but i also don't think we should get too far ahead of ourselves on dealing with police reform in

that because they have already labeled us as being defund the police. give me advice, whether we should do that before january 5th. because that's how they beat the living hell out of us across the country saying that we are talking about defunding the police. how much do we push between now and january 5th? we need those two seats about police reform. will: fascinating, rachel, it reveals, one, he is acknowledging the absolute whipping they took in the election across congressional seats, senatorial seats and attributing it to the idea of defund the police. i think the second point, rachel, he is saying just postpone that until january 5th. racism racism yeah, he is just saying let'just -- rachel: he is just saying let's just lie. after we win this seat we will implement all this stuff that everybody hates including many, many minorities who showed that

they hated that during the election and voted in record numbers for the republicans based on this everybody alone. so, yeah, you know, that, tape is what people hate about politics. it's actually disgusting. pete: like nancy pelosi let's pass the bill so we can find out what's in it or joe biden say i won't tell you how i feel about packing the court you will have to find out. the idea is you hide how you truly believe because you know people hate it to so can you get elected and be then do the thing people hate. that's exactly what he is talking about. still ahead, breaking overnight the supreme court denying texas election challenge after over 100 house republicans backed the lawsuit. where do we go from here? we will ask one of those g.o.p. backers congressman ken buck on the program coming up next ♪ don't get better than ♪ ♪ when it comes to autism,

and the president has his rights and i support his right to pursue the legal remedies concerning fraud. there are a lot of very suspicious things that happened in several states, several key states in this election. and i think that it's really will democrats and republicans should come together and want to make sure that this election is decided the right way so that we have confidence in the next president being a legitimate president. rachel: what can the house republicans do at this point? >> well, the house republicans can keep basically keep talking and keep shining a light on how important this issue is. this is not an issue that should go away any time soon. and we have a very short time frame to make sure that the american public understands the significance. and the other thing that i think needs to happen regardless of what happens with the electoral college and the swearing in sir money january 20th, i think it's absolutely necessary that congress hold hearings and make sure that we are looking at

voter fraud across the country and making sure that we have ways of minimize voter fraud. it's not too late for the courts to speak up and give the public confidence that this was a legitimate election. being you have new fox news op-ed liberalism. on the ballots. encourage viewers to take a look at it. it what are you doing to make sure that republicans win those georgia seats. >> i'm in georgia right now i can tell you want walk 10 feet without tripping over a politician here. this is really ground zero in an effort to make sure that nancy pelosi and joe biden don't push this country and push a socialist agenda down our throats. so important that the georgia people understand that what nancy pelosi did in the last two years with the green new deal and defunding police and just a

very radical agenda shouldn't be adopted in georgia. and by electing republicans, we will have a back stop so that the parties work together on good policy. rachel: all right. thank you, congressman. appreciate all you are doing and merry christmas to you. coming up, rudy giuliani will be joining us on the show in a couple hours here. is he going to be talking about the legal challenges ahead for the trump team. and still ahead, army and navy gearing up for their 121st annual show down. and the president will be in attendance. the chief of the national guard bureau joins with the significance of that visit coming up next. ♪ only in america ♪ dreaming in red, white, and blue ♪ only in america ♪ ♪ to all the businesses that helped us

army today. pete: you have a second on that one here. i mentioned it's going to be different because of covid-19. the national guard has been heavily involved in the covid-19 response. can you explain to our viewers what that has been and also will that include distribution of the vaccine? >> yeah, absolutely. and so, you know, tomorrow obviously is the 384th birthday of the national guard. and it really goes back to our first formation with the massachusetts bay colony in 1636. and since then our national guardsmen this year is no exception. when you look what our soldiers and airmen have done really since march, we have got even today 20,000 guard men helping out with will covid-19 across the country. reached a peak of about 47,000 june of this year. as we look forward we are continuing to do those missions that the governors have asked us to do up to this point. we are in close concert with

operation warp speed and moving forward we will be helping right now in 26 states and territories with the distribution warehousing and in some cases the administering of the vaccine. pete: you will be involved in the actual administration. warp speed getting it out to the states as they need it. >> yes, sir, absolutely. will. pete: i'm the one that said sir, you major. i didn't realize it went back that far. we do have that cake on set, general. it is not befitting 384 years but it's a cake so it will due. how does the guard plan to celebrate today? >> well, there will be celebrations really across each of our units as we have, you know, drill normally on these weekends. and when you look back, i mean, it's just a great opportunity to recognize really the oldest military organization in the united states. and when you look back, the national guard has been involved really in every major conflict

our nation has faced and if you look at this year alone, in june, we had 120,000 national guardsmen mobilized. they were serving overseas in combat operations. covid-19. this year was the worst fire season in recorded history. and also the most active hurricane season. and so it was quite a year for us. and this is really reflective of what we have been doing for 384 years. pete: for sure. i was actually at the lexington battle green yesterday in outside of boston where the minutemen stood up in 1775 filming a series for fox nation. it does remind you it's been the citizen soldier from the beginning and sir, you and the organization continue that tradition to this day. thank you so much for joining us this morning, general. and good luck to army on today's game for sure. >> yep. go army, beat navy. pete: you got it sir, thank you very much. as we mentioned earlier in the program, our own brian kilmeade will be interviewing the commander-in-chief, president donald trump today at the army-navy game and we are going to have that interview for you

along with new york yankees gm brian cashman they later dressed up as santa as the estles and they do it every year. i wonder if in san antonio this is a tradition a lot of people do santa rappeling or a socially distanced covid things we are doing just this year. pete: good question. i feel like santa would normally be inside the room with the kid instead rappeling. a man with many talents. a lot of down time at the north pole they can practice. rachel: will, you can be santa next year. will: i'm up for it again. we will get you on that wall, rachel. pete: we need you on that you will with a. will: we have been telling you about a leaked phone call between joe biden and civil rights leaders where he revealed his thoughts on the defund the police movement this morning. rachel: that's right. the audio prompted cnn's april ryan to question whether it's ethical to report on such leaks. yes, that actually happened.

first tweeting quote the question is who leaked it and why? and then in response to a clearly sarcastic tweet by a reporter calling that quote dangerous precedent and arguing to seek proper channels from the biden administration she replied agreed. his or her to react fox news contributor and media opinion columnist for the hill joe concha. what say you, joe? >> this isn't surprising considering that april ryan has been the female jim acosta in terms of leading the response in the white house press corps against the trump administration. so, yeah. the fact that she is embracing a biden administration and saying thou shall not go with any leaked calls around joe biden when doing any reporting because that would be a bad thing for joe biden although this is a white house press corps and press corps in general based their reporting on president trump almost entirely on unnamed sources, on leaked calls with world leaders. you go down the line it hasn't

been a great year for the state. sarah sanders when press secretary does the president believe slavery was wrong once asked president trump are you a racist. once questioned sarah sanders after she baked a pie on thanksgiving if she actually baked the pie. she also had a body guard at event speaking at very unhappy a reporter was there recording her remarks. the body guard went on to beat the reporter charged with third degree assault. i don't pay too much attention to what april ryan has to say because she is everything wrong with this business. pete: with partisans you expect them to elevate one. with journalists journalistic ethics explain hold them all up

equally because just the facts and information. or is it that the journalists have been partisan all along and now we are just seeing that? >> right, pete, we are supposed to hold the powerful accountable. it doesn't matter whether you have a d or r or l or anything next to your name. what the american public wants is consistency. it the gallup poll came out last month reflects what people think of the press at this point in terms of what it is doing to the country gallup knight foundation found 34% of the american public divide in this country see it taking a side one against the another. obviously very apparent during the trump administration and then you have folks like april ryan or the aforementioned jim acosta or half the press corps putting out books talking about how mean president trump was to them. we have the me too movement and now we have the look at me too movement as far as these reporters making themselves the story which used to be the

number one rule of what not to do cass a reporter. will: joe, it's tempts to say it's surprising or of course the media is liberal. i'm more outraged than that here's the deal, joe, we are the media as well. we have to being a knowledge that i have always job to tell the truth. part of that truth is being honest with the audience what your own leanings are and still pursue the truth with that in mind. i want to ask you where you called it the fourth estate where the media is is it biased and many agenda driven. cover up and now acknowledged by the doj investigation. i'm confronting whether or not it's just plain corrupt. what is the media when you assess bias, agenda driven, corrupt? what's the diagnosis? a shift at isms. 32% of the american people trusted the media thought they were doing a good job in the age

of cronkite. journalism to activism. actually not -- bias anymore like you mentioned actually getting involved in trying to push people forward. as you mentioned with hunter biden. that was a 1-2 punch of impropriety. it was intentional and insidious in the terms of the way they covered that story or didn't cover it in october and now you have traditional media dismissing the story in october, social media suppressing the story and now only because they have to cover it, i guess they will but we are not going to see the same vigor we saw with russian disinformation or if a donald trumdonald trump jr. wasd instead of hunter biden. rachel how many kids are you up to these days i have two and still not done with my christmas. you are like okay that mom i oct keep up. rachel: i have elves that help me. >> help me out here, man, what do you give a 5-year-old that

will: you hear joe biden in his own words express defund the police phrase at the very least if not the movement. your thoughts. >> major problem is he realizing that especially in the state of georgia they have a communications marketing issue here defund the police movement is not popular many places throughout the country outside of the colt elites live. i think one thing though is that you are seeing actually very interesting how even after you court that part of the party during the presidential campaign, now they are not even able to get a meeting. the reason why i think this happened he has been doing this 47 years what works for him. goes around and get the vote and acts like everything is completely different once he gets into office. will: come back to that meeting in just a moment, jeremy. the only thing that seems to stand out from that clip is

that's a change in messaging not necessarily in policy. let's not talk about defund the police let's wait until after january 5th. >> oh, absolutely. >> you will he did this during the campaign ask him court packing and key fund the police side stepping. otherwise,in other words, you will find out later once i'm elected that's not how we do politics in this country. stand for what you believe. call it what it is. what do you stand for and tell this country what they are going to get in a biden administration. i think now we are finally starting to see the vale pulled away. will: this meeting you referenced blm had said they tried to get a meeting with joe biden. here is what posted on instagram. 31 days since we requested a meeting with joe biden and kamala harris. we have heard no response. so, jeremy.

he thought black lives matter was a phrase signed on to against racism. now the leadership is looking for a meeting with the president or presumptive president-elect of the united states? >> absolutely. the black lives matter organization is very organized. they are a political movement. and, of course, i have no problem saying the phrase of black lives matter. i have no problem saying that phrase. it's the organization that i have issues with. i have issues with the socialism. i have issues with abolishing the police. i have issues -- there is school of issues i have talked about on this network. here's the thing is that even though they have actually supported biden during the campaign now he is asking he is acting like he has no idea who they're. going around saying i'm all about diversity in my cabinet and everything else. but what he says to what is arguably a very influential organization oh, well you don't matter. stay in your place be quiet you

don't matter. big problem he will have in office. will: leave it there. how much influence black lives matter has behind the. not just a phrase a political movement trying to exert power. jeremy, thanks so much for your time this morning. >> thank you. will: still ahead, christmas shopping is in full swing but if you are still looking for the perfect gift alison and skip bedell have the tech, tools and toys you are looking for. next. ♪ tis the season to be joely ♪ fa la la la la la la la ♪ done w

it's interesting the president said the virus started in china. it's going to end right here in america. this may be, you know, the most triumphant, you know, legacy of his, you know, getting this out in record speed. it is a medical miracle. we talked with dr. saphier earlier because i think a lot of people wonder if it comes out faster does it mean that it's still safe? she said yes, the reason is it went through the same process they started producing it simultaneously which is something they don't do normally because if there is a glitch you lose all that money. she says she is taking it and as we know we are going to see medical professionals receiving it first. it's going to be available in walmart and cvs. and it's going to be free. those who want to get it are going to get it quickly. pete: speaking of that trust cynically governor cuomo said we are going to do our own review of the vaccine after it was approved so did new york. they were posing all along because it couldn't be donald trump that has this his terrific victory it must be reviewed by

governor king cuomo here in new york city. all right. but we talked about the timeline rachel. and here it is. a general sense of you who quickly and to whom it will be rolled out what is truly historic. december healthcare personnel long-term tear residents nursing homes. january to march essential workers. i tell don't know what that means since every job to that person is essential to elm. this and then beyond march high risk adults. this gets handed over to the states. the president has led the federal charge to get the vaccine, now this goes to governors and hopefully to as many people as possible as quickly as possible. will: as you both have pointed out scientific and political miracle to get something approved, developed in this kind of record time. i'm sure that's something that brian kilmeade, our "fox & friends" hatest news that the

state of texas overturn election results in key battleground states as the electoral college is set to meet monday. for the latest defeat at the trump legal team comes at the hands of the supreme court. jonathan turley fox news legal analyst was on "fox & friends" earlier told us why some of these legal challenges are failing for the president's team. listen. >> these cases are still having trouble legally creating a foundation for relief we see many patterns. standing, threshold issue of who is allowed to bring a case. the court has never allowed other states state to force compliance of the state laws of state that, you know, like wisconsin and georgia. this is something that has to

come from within your state. and so it was carrying a lot of baggage going to the supreme court. it was extremely unlikely to succeed. will: last night the supreme court suggested that texas did not have legal standing. that's right. that's the ability to bring a suit against other states for their election procedures. we talked to turley about this, rachel, i mentioned that leads to is not necessarily incorrect ghals when it comes to the supreme court. legally what about the merits? what about the charges? what about th the details within the -- failing on procedural grounds what about the merits? i think that leaves many people frustrated. rachel: absolutely does. people believe the election was stolen from them. stolen from donald trump. and so how do you solve this problem of unity in this country? we see this country divided. and the basically the court threw the case out. i think if they had listened to the evidence, and thrown out

case on the merits. elections but not if they think that it's. i think if joe biden ends up getting certified and becomes the next president i think he is going to have to deal with a lot of people who are very angry who believe that he stole this election. and i think it does nothing to help us with the division that is so profound in the country. pete: adage day in court. will justice alito and thomas did want the case to be brought forward to be reviewed but the court ultimately rejected it quite quickly. but, to your point, rachel, it doesn't change, your politics bd because that's what makes texas great is that they really value freedom and that includes economic freedom. i think it's i see some interviews with some of these employers and some of the employees who have moved to texas. and they are so happy. their money goes so much further. they have bigger houses, more

spaces as i said the best barbecue i can confirm that will. pete: come on, they do, as much as you want to think ideological and some cases they are i like what elon musk said california become complacent. great where and hubs for things there eventually you throw taxes and regulations on top of people and become untenable. will: natural beauty and geography yet everybody is leaving. pete: i wonder why. turning to a few additional headlines starting with a fox news alert. police officer shot in the line of duty overnight. the officer was responding to a call about a man wanted for violating a court order. police say the man opened fire before running away. he was arrested 30 minutes later. thankfully the officer was is in stable condition a man arrested for burning an nypd van is blaming peer pressure.

the navy academy so i was starting that game. couldn't play varsity football back then so i was -- so i was in the stands watching the army-navy game and i was nervous wreck. and then the next year i'm starting and president kennedy was going to be at the game and so the 62 army-navy game i was more nervous before that game than any game i ever played in other than -- i was nervous before the super bowl but the army-navy game was really special and so 1 1962 we had a really good game. we won 35-14. and i had a -- i was really -- i have always been proud of that game. our team really played well. so that was a long time ago. but i still get pumped up whenever the army navy game comes every year. so, it's fun watching the game and i really enjoyed playing in three games.

john cooper joins us now. john, thank you so much for being here. really appreciate it. great to have you back on the show. >> thanks, pete, it's so cool to be with you again, buddy. pete: congrats on the book. you talk about relativism. awake and alive to truth. yet we are living in this woke culture. i imagine your awake is a lot different than what our culture is preaching right now. >> yes. it's going to be wildly unpopular with a lot of people, i think. woke culture is a real problem. because it is based on principles that are not absolute. and i see that as the biggest problem. that is the biggest crisis happening in 2020. it's not covid-19, which is also bad by the way you may have noticed. buff the biggest crisis in our world, not just america, in our world is this idea that there is no such thing as truth. and when i say that, i don't mean that we are disagreeing on what truth is. the idea is there is no such thing that truth even exists. there is nothing that is black and white. up is down, down is up or maybe

up is whatever you feel like it is to you and i can have my own version. that's what relativism basically is. the christian must believe that the word of god stands forever. jesus christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. and what we're witnessing is an entire culture being ripped apart at the seams because they have nothing to build their lives upon. there is no foundation. and everything changes every single day. and i have seen it in my friend's lives. it's the reason that some people are walking out on their wife and kids. i just feel like i'm supposed to. i feel like it's the right thing to do. it's the reason that suicide rates have written. you know, suicide rates have risen 40% in the last 1 years. and they are skyrocketing right now with young people. young people are being raised in this just crazy chaos. but jesus offers a path out of the chaos that is the truth of the word of god that never changes. pete: you are so right. you talk about the chaos, of the

violence, the confusion, the anxiety of our moment only exacerbates the shifting sands that we're trying to relate to within relativism. where can folks check out the book. it's awake and alive to truth. available now. >> the only place you can get it is my website. john l. cooper.com. john l. cooper.com/awake if you want to go check out the book. i had to self-plush it on my own because i think it was a little too raw but it's time to say things that are true. we live in such a p.c. culture and people don't want to -- they don't want to offend anybody. and they don't want to say something to hurt somebody. it's unloving to not share the answers. pete: absolutely. >> we see it in every facet of our lives right now. we are seeing what that looks like. i feel bad for young people who are being raised in a culture where the only way they can know the right thing to do apparently is to go on social media and find out what is okay to say this week?

what is not okay to say this week? what is justice? what is injustice? it changes every week for these kids. and it is unloving to not share the truth with these young people. pete: well said. the book is awake and alive to truth. john cooper, congrats on the book we appreciate it. >> thank you, so great to see you again, brother, merry christmas. pete: merry christmas, indeed. coming up today is the major league soccer final who knew? key players may be forced to miss the game because of covid-19. fox sports analyst will alexi lawlessfe will preview coming up next.

pete: welcome to the final hour, the fourth hour of fox & friends here on december 12, the year of our lord 2020. we are glad you're here we got swag here because it is the army -navy game today. will: that's right. pete: hats, footballs, helmets and will, you said earlier you were a little tired. you need a pick-me-up, look what i got from my office for you on the break. diet mountain dew. will: i'll be shaking at 9:45. pete: [laughter] rachel i told him, you know, diet mountain dew has a national shortage right now. you can't find it. will: really? because pete hegseth is drinking it all up. rachel: i will just say, will it's not mom approved. i don't let my kids drink that stuff but if that's what you need to get through this morning i'm okay with that. will: thank you. >> awww. will: as you can see rachel campos-duffy is in for jedediah this morning but i will be drinking this to join pete hegseth. pete: i'll read the fox news alert, you drink the diet

mountain dew. will: it's good, right? pete: so good. rachel: [laughter] pete: thanks for being here in this fourth hour fox & friends and now to this fox news alert the fda approves pfizer's covid-19 vaccine for emergency use in the u.s. officially paving the way for widespread distribution. lucas tomlinson is live outside the fda in maryland as the first dose is set to be administered in less than 24 hours. lucas, good morning. reporter: good morning, pete. we're just moments away from a press conference here at the fda where we hope to learn more about this new coronavirus vaccine last night president trump touted this record setting achievement from the white house president trump: our nation has achieved a medical miracle. we have delivered a safe and effective vaccine in just nine months. this is one of the greatest scientific a am could libraments in history. it will save millions of lives and soon end the pandemic once and for all. reporter: some 6 million doses of the vaccine will be distributed across the country

beginning this weekend. ups is leading operations in the east, fedex in the west. the first shots could be given as early as monday. doctors and nurses as well as the elderly are expected to be top priorities. operation warp speed officials want to get nearly every american vaccinated by june which will require a massive effort. while the cdc provided a guide to whom the vaccine should be given to first state governments will ultimately make those decisions. the head of pfizer said getting emergency use from the fda so quickly was a team effort. >> together, with other vaccine manufactures, this collaboration is expected to deliver hundreds of millions of doses to americans by the end of next year. reporter: recall it took over two decades to get a polio vaccine. the coronavirus vaccine, less than a year, pete. and go navy. pete: go navy i thought i liked you lucas, good man, thank you so much. will: it took two decades to get a polio vaccine there's no guarantee of a vaccine

whatsoever just highlighting not only the scientific but political miracle it is to get this vaccine in a record amount of time. a little bit earlier we talked to senator steve daines about that and he addressed perhaps some of the concerns that americans might have about the vaccine. watch. >> how do we stop the pandemic? we stop it with a vaccine. how do we get people healthy again? with a vaccine. how do we get the economy growing again? with a vaccine. i can tell you firsthand i had it, my wife had it as well, and i highly recommend that all americans receive this vaccine. it won't be mandatory but i highly encourage americans to receive it because this is how we stop the pandemic. this is a great gift to america and i want to thank the president for his leadership in making this happen. rachel: you know, it's interesting. he took that vaccine and he was part of the trial, and we ran out of time. i wanted to ask them if there were any side effects but he

seems very pleased with it a and i know a lot of moms i talk to are happy that it's available for those who need it and are most vulnerable but i know there's still a lot of questions because this did come out in record time and we know kids aren't necessarily susceptibile to it on the same level as other populations, so there are questions, we talked to dr. sapphire earlier in the morning and she said that no safety measures were skirted in order to get it out in "warp speed." she just said that they started producing it at the same time as the trials were going on which is something you don't normally do for obviously for profit reasons in case something goes wrong. pete: yeah, queue the discussion and the debate about that, but knowing that the people that need it the most right now can get it and get it soon gives us hope that 2021 is a year where whatever normal looks like is returned to for americans across the country. that topic will certainly be front and center in a conversation that will be had

today with our own brian kilmeade who gets the assignments he's earned them and going to the army-navy game which is today and he's going to interview the commander-in-chief, president donald trump either before, during or after that game, and we're going to bring you that exclusive interview tomorrow on fox & friends and brian will join us as well to share his thoughts on talking to the commander-in-chief with this operation warp speed being so successful, pushed out as senator daines also said is a christmas gift to america so don't miss fox & friends tomorrow morning with that interview, but the political discussion goes on and on, and you know, president trump was speaking of historic, the amount of press conferences and questions he took at the podium truly was historic, arguably one of the most transparent presidents in modern times as far as willingness to engage with any reporter. well joe biden takes a bit of a different approach if and when he does a press conference, he has assigned list of reporters to be called on only from acceptable news organizations, well our own peter doocy whose

one of the best in the business crashed the party yesterday, wasn't called on but asked a question, nonetheless, about an issue of huge importance, should have been covered more before the election, is now suddenly being discovered afterwards, but peter doocy pressed joe biden on hunter biden and the connections with his finances and the chinese, here is how that exchange went yesterday. >> did hunter biden commit a crime? have you spoken to your son, mr. president-elect? >> drop my son. will: there is joe biden saying he's proud of his son. we've talked about this at various times this morning the importance, the underlying issue was not the biden administration is compromised when it comes to china, did hunter biden and joe biden's brother compromise joe biden when it comes to business dealings and eventually relationships with china at the highest levels of this government. as a secondary note, conversations we've had this morning and pete, you and i've talked off camera, i find it absolutely unconscionable, i

can not find the appropriate word, pete. it's not media bias. it's not just media agenda. it's media corruption to dismiss this story, to call it fake news , to call it russian disinformation, to refuse to report it and then to suppress it from the biggest tech companies in this country until an election is over and then and only then do we get to learn that there is, in fact, a doj and fbi investigation into hunter biden's dealings with foreign government. i do not know how to properly characterize this , but blatant election manipulation from the so-called media in this country. pete: rachel you couldn't see it from there but he had physical vizierial reactions when clips were played about what was done to the new york post and what was done to the story and voters never heard about it, rachel. will: what's the point in the first amendment if you're not allowed to use utility and i understand it's protection from government censorship but we're talking about massive corporate organizations from silicon valley to new york city streets of these big media companies who are controlling what you get to

hear. i'm sorry rachel the floor is yours. rachel: absolutely i had the same reaction this is one of the most disgusting things i've ever seen in politics and as you guys know i've been pretty close to politics for a while. you know, this has huge implications. we have joe biden compromised potentially by the chinese communist government and this is not a victimless crime. these are our children that hunter biden and joe biden are potentially, well, in the case of joe biden, potentially on hunter we've got the laptop it's pretty obvious. we just need to verify that joe biden is the big guy in the e-mails but this is selling out our children. this is selling out our children 's future. this is giant news. it's not a small thing. it's not just tax evasion. this is a national security threat and i just can't believe it's happened. i can't believe that the media isn't embarrassed by this. pete: they're not embarrassed

because they've been shame less for a long time, and why it matters to me is you look at the rhetoric of joe biden, its always been soft on china. they're not our rival, they're not our adversary. why is he saying that and why can't he recognize what the rest of us see as far as the chinese and if there are inter mingled business we should know about it as american citizens who have to deal with the consequences but one issue was the talk about policing and black lives matter and all of this. well there was an audio tape of a conversation that joe biden had on wednesday that was since leaked and of course now the press is all fired up about the fact that how fair they leak a conversation about joe biden. well he was talking about how discussions about defunding the police, well they're going to hurt us in this election in georgia coming up in a couple of weeks so maybe we don't talk about it now, and maybe we talk about it later. what do you think? here is a portion of what joe biden said to civil rights groups on this call.

listen. >> i don't think we should make that a big issue going into before january 5 when the election takes place down in georgia, but i also don't think we should get too far ahead of ourselves on dealing with police reform in that because they've already labeled us as being de fund the police, give me advice whether we should do that before january fifth, because that's how they beat the living hell out of this across the country, saying that we're talking defunding the police. how much do we push between now and january 5? we need those two seats, about police reform. will: you want transparency there's joe biden admitting they got their butts whipped when it comes to the election at the congressional and senatorial levels and number two they are pushing this messaging issue off after until january 5 but don't think it means they won't pursue

the policy perspective and i want to go back to the oldest newspaper in the united states of america was banned from tech platforms for two weeks for reporting a true story. you were pushed off of facebook or twitter for sharing a true story. to this day, youtube will take down on a separate issue any video that addresses election fraud. you're talking about thought control and that's why i get animated about this , you're talking about out and out thought control, man. pete: very much so. rachel: will can i just say what you're talking about are tactics used by the chinese government. this is what's so scary about this. it's not just that the bidens are making off with a bunch of money at the expense of our kids and our future and our country but that we're adopting the same kind of scary tactics that the chinese government uses on their own people. i feel like i'm in a twilight zone half the time these days. pete: it's authoritarianism no matter what you call it whatever form. will: oh, wait we'll see how the

investigation plays out. pete: exactly. will: the point is there was an investigation. it was a true story. pete: it was a true story we weren't allowed to hear about that. will: and make their own judgments on this story. pete: it's because we know all of these reporters every single one of them, find me one in a news room in this town or elsewhere that's a conservative or even an independent at this point. the agenda is driven so hard and that's why people ultimately want to rebell against it, if they can find a platform that will actually amplify their common sense views, scary. will: you know who asked about this one of the guys integral to bringing that story to the forefront, rudy giuliani. pete: and we'll have him on the program in just a few minutes so don't go anywhere the president's personal attorney we'll ask him about this as well as legal challenges , but democrats double standard the left calls for unity apparently it didn't resonate as one michigan representative threatens trump supporters listen to this. >> so this is just a warning to you trumpers.

>> this is just a warning to you trumpers. be careful. walk lightly and for those of you who are soldiers, make them pay. pete: that's michigan state representative cynthia johnson threatening trump supporters in an unhinged video on facebook this week. the democrat has since been stripped of all her committee roles as officials look into

further disciplinary action. joining us now is one of johnson 's colleagues in the michigan house democrat representative karen whitsit, representative thank you so much for being here this morning, we appreciate it. presumably, you know representative johnson but to call for the troops who goes on to say do it right, be an order, make them pay, this just can't be okay. >> well, let me be clear. i do not agree with what she said. i do, however, agree with the sentiment behind it and why i say that is because me being a democrat and being part of the democratic party, when i spoke out against racism within my own party, and spoke out about leadership with being racist and what i mean by that there were black employees that were doing the work of two people but receiving the pay of one. when i spoke out against that, everything was thrown at me. i was cents or ed, i was kicked out of the democratic caucus,

they went as far as to try to get colleagues of mine including representative johnson, to rise up against me during my re-election. not just that they went as far as to put another candidate in my race and raised over $80,000 for that candidate. now, had i been, well had the democratic party been in leadership and held the gavel absolutely it would have taken my budget away. absolutely they would have taken my employees away, so what was done to her in comparison is actually mild of what has been done to me by my own party. pete: you also faced criticism for crediting the president because you used and how dare you complement the president of the united states, but i would imagine that you never contemplated taking to the camera saying, you know, calling people out by name and telling foot soldiers to go after them, and target them.

what's the mindset, why would you go to that next level to insight violence effectively? >> i can honestly say in my humble opinion it's just the fact that you have so much thrown at you. it's like working while black. being an elected official while being black. like i said i don't agree with what she said, but i can understand it. we've had neuces put on the front lawn of the capitol. we have needed escorts to go to the capitol because of things that have been going on and we do not receive that in the manner in which the republicans receive that help, so i think it's missed opportunity on both sides of the aisle and that black lives matter need to no longer be a talking point. there needs to be actions behind that. we can no longer have committees we can no longer have sensitivity trainings that are not offered on both sides of the aisle so i can understand her passion behind it, because you're afraid. when you have threats coming at

you, you are afraid. you don't know who these people are. you don't know if they're going to show up at you. you don't know. i don't agree with what she said , but i do understand the sentiment. pete: got it state representative karen whit sett. thank you for coming on this morning. >> thank you for having me. pete: coming up one church has come up with a loophole to get past covid-19 restrictions. convert and rebrand as a, you guessed it, strip clubs? yeah, it happened. the pastors of that church join us, coming up, next. >> ♪ bring me a higher love, oh , bring me a higher love ♪ , i'm. - i'm lea. and we live in north pole, alaska. - i'm a retired school counselor.

all church doors closed, but they say strip clubs can welcome people inside. so our next two guests found a creative way to hold their services indoors. >> come on, let's go! rachel: well, i'm catholic i'm not used to seeing that on the altar but it was quite a thing joining me now are calvary chapel pastor rob mccoy, and jer gen metaesus, sorry about that with your name there. pastor, i actually watched your whole sermon and i have to tell you i was in tears at the end of it and i thought you really nailed so many things and another thing that you say is that our liberties are like muscles. explain to me why you said that, what that means, and why you've taken this as far as you have. >> thank you, rachel, and i'm

glad you were touched by the message. liberties are like muscles if you don't exercise them, you lose them, and our rights are, liberty is not man's idea it's god's idea and our rights are given by god and the constitution was designed to protect us from a government that would infringe on those rights and that's exactly what governor is doing to us, newsom. rachel: absolutely. we talked about, you know, the science behind it and it just doesn't make sense, why would a strip club be able to open but not a church? we can talk about the science all day it's clear it makes no sense. so what do you think, pastor jer gen is the real motivation. i'm sure you thought about this. >> yeah, i just think that there's an agenda, and the church seems to get into the way of that agenda and so what they've decided to do is re classify the church. they've moved us into the realm

of entertainment theatre and sporting events are shutdown and church, you're in that category, whereas the church is actually the number one mental health hospital in the nation. people's emotional mental and psychological health gets a boost. a gallup poll that just came out recently proved that people that attend church feel good and feel better compared to people that don't have any church who are suffering anxiety and depression compared to this time last year. rachel: it's so true i did see that gallup poll and it was fascinating and you know at a time when we're having a mental health crisis that they can't find or allow churches to find safe ways to open up. what has been the impact on churches? i've been seeing some figures coming out that will maybe come out of this pandemic with as many as 25% of our churches permanently shutdown. are you seeing that among other pastors?

what's the conversation among church leaders on that topic? >> are you asking or jergen? rachel: i'm sorry pastor mccoy, i apologize. >> that's okay, thanks rachel. we've seen churches in ventura county close, up and down the state of california, and pastor jergen well attest to this. churches that have remained closed during this pandemic when they go to reopen even in a smaller capacity they start to realize their numbers have dropped and even their live streaming or the videos, they're not getting the viewed they used to. people want the church to lead, and when they don't lead, the people leave. it's that simple. rachel: but really quick, why isn't the church leading? i see youtube pastors i need a really quick answer on this , pastor jergen but why aren't more pastors joining you? >> just that they're intimidated the relentless bully ing both from government

but also from a very very hyper fearful community who were saying that you're not loving your neighbor if you're open. you're killing grandma if you're open. you're a covid spreader. we've had all kinds of hit piece s put on us by our local government and then reinforced by people just being nasty on social media, so a lot of pastor s are just beat up from both ends. rachel: from both sides, yup there's a lot of shaming going on around this , pastor. well thanks to both of you for joining us it's such an important topic. coming up, the supreme court rejecting the texas election challenge but president trump vows to fight is not over. rudy giuliani is here with an update on their legal battle, next.

♪ ♪ anywhere convenience. everyday security. bankers here to help. for wherever you want to go. chase. make more of what's yours. pete: we're back with a fox news alert today thousands of president trump supporters are expected to rally in our nation 's capitol. will: hitting d.c. streets calling for full transparency in u.s. elections. rachel: griff jenkins joins us live from washington, with more. griff? griff: hey, good morning, rachel , pete, and will. you can see the music's playing people are in a pretty good mood already, a lot of folks are gathering here for what is a noon-scheduled rally. this is the women for america first. it's a culmination of a two-week

bus tour the march for trump votes and you can see in the back in the bus i was with them in atlanta, georgia and they are going state by state, a two-week tour for the integrity of our election, and i want you to meet here, this is james lisl e. he is the program director today , james you've got a stage. i want to know what you're doing but first you've arrived here on the morning after the supreme court ruling against the lawsuit that could possibly have over turned the results. what is your feeling this morning and what do you feel today? >> this is kind of two-fold. it's both the celebration and a peaceful protest. it's a celebration because people don't rally for losing candidates. all of the people here, who are coming here, are coming for one of two reasons. one, to celebrate that donald j. trump has won re-election and two there are disenfranchised voters and i'm one of them, because i'm from the state of

georgia that we believe that our votes were stolen through an illegal process and we are going to have our voices heard, to where we want election integrity. griff: fox news' poll shows 77% of trump voters also believe that the election was stolen. my question to you is what's next? where do we go from here? >> sidney powell has already filed documents for individuals who do have standing that the court refused to hear it because apparently, they believe that texas didn't have standing. well, the people that sidney has do have standing. i have standing in the state of georgia and i say sign me up. griff: already james lyle, the program director today, will be out here all day covering it guys back to you. pete: griff jenkins our man on the ground griff thank you so much appreciate it. perfect guy to bring in after that, rudy giuliani former new york city mayor, and president trump's personal attorney. mr. mayor thank you for being with us this morning i presume you heard some of what griff was

talking about there. >> i certainly did, yeah. pete: he asked that gentleman what's next we'll ask the same question of you in the legal challenge, what's next? >> well, what's next now is to take each one of those complaints that were against different states, to break them down into individual complaints and over the next two days bring them in those states where we would have standing, namely in michigan, georgia, pennsylvania, nevada, arizona, wisconsin we already have an ongoing case, so we may or may not supplement it's going to be heard today, so basically, we'll take the advice of the supreme court. the supreme court says, i think incorrectly, that the state of texas doesn't have standing, but certainly, the president of the united states has standing. certainly the electors like that gentleman that spoke to you has standing, so we will be bringing those cases in their names in the states in which we were cheated. georgia is probably the most dramatic example of cheating because it was done live, pete.

i'd say that that tape is going to live after this election like the kennedy assassination. twenty years from now when they look back on this election they will show that tape and whatever happens with the result of this election they are going to say oh, my goodness it really was stolen because you can see , you can see 30,000 votes being stolen right in front of your eyes, and how the governor of georgia, the lt. governor can ignore that is pretty close to a crime. the people of georgia have every right to be outraged. they are stolen on television and now we get to detroit and we have a truck that pulled in at 4 :30 in the morning with 100,000 votes and we have a machine that the dominion machine that could fill holes as swiss cheese and was developed to steal elections and being used in the states that are involved so there's a lot that's going to come out here over the next month or so

and you know the shame of it? it's just all comes out six months from now the way the biden thing is now coming out, you know, six months ago, eight months ago, i was being accused of being some kind of russian spy, for merely bringing out the fact that the biden family has been involved in 30 years of racketeering activity which is all proven. i have the video tape, the documents, the hard drive, i've got every piece of evidence and i've got a mountain full of evidence and nobody would believe me, but they are going to find out it's true and what you'll also find out is that this election was stolen and i hope it's not too late. will: mr. mayor i'd love to ask you about timing and that evidence you bring up. first of all on timing do you have time you said over the next two days you'll be bringing many of the suits where someone will have standing. do you have the time to bring these and put forward what is your strongest piece of evidence you bring up that video but you also mentioned the computer so what is your strongest piece of evidence you look forward to presenting? >> well the strongest piece of

evidence are the 1,000 affidavit s from all different witnesses in six different states that all basically say the same thing. they go anywhere from active voter fraud to 50,000 acts of voter fraud and then you have the statistical analysis of the machines that are done by experts that say they couldn't possibly have produced that number of ballots in that period of time. you have the 700,000 ballots in pennsylvania of mail-in ballots that was sents in but never sent out and in other words, they were made up. you have 60,000 dead people voting in one state. you have 40,000 dead people voting in another state. you have people who aren't citizens voting in arizona. more than enough citizens that goes way beyond the margin of victory, and just think about that alone. biden supposedly wins arizona by

10,000 votes. there weren't 10,000 illegals that voted for biden in arizona you'd have to be stupid not to know that, right? i mean, you'd have to be absolutely dumb to not know that arizona was stolen. the people of arizona are not dumb, and unfortunately, the media, big tech the democrat s, even the court, very ashamed of the court not having the discipline to read the papers. had they read those papers they couldn't possibly have not given us a hearing. rachel: mr. mayor, another way that election interference happened was the fact that this information that you brought forward the investigation you had on hunter biden was suppressed. just right now we have the new york times and their headline says material from guiliani spur red a separate justice department pursuit of hunter biden. they are right now investigating the fbi is investigating tax

evasion, money laundering, there are other crimes on those laptops, right? >> [laughter] that's the least of it, rachel. he wishes it was tax evasion. rachel: mr. mayor do you feel vindicated? >> of course i do, but i always felt vindicated and i always knew the truth would come out. i had the evidence and i had the evidence in my possession. i've been a prosecutor for all 50 years of my life, prosecuted a lot more dangerous criminals than these more on morons, and the evidence is over elm well am ing. it's not just there there's a money laundering case i could prove in four minutes, $14 million involving the bidens there's a partnership of joe biden with chinese communists as recent as two years ago. imagine a guy trying to be president of the united states who was a partner with a chinese communist and to get $10 million a year from the chinese

communist, just a few years ago? how outrageous is that and how crooked is the media and our country for covering it up. pete: you saw that in realtime, mr. mayor, ultimately a story that only the new york post was willing to talk about. is it because they knew what was in there, was too explosive, just could not be covered the other media organization? >> you know, that's going to take quite a book to figure out why they did that. they put their hatred of donald trump, which is pathological and sick, ahead of even modest loathe for their country. how you can ignore this kind of arrangement between the bidens and china has gone back for about 12 years and involved millions of dollars. they've been in-n-out of businesses with china, actually it's about eight years, numerous businesses, numerous organized

criminals, numerous spies. how you could avoid that just because you don't like donald trump has to say something really pathological about you. will: you have to feel vindicat ed mr. mayor and it's a story that should not go away and there should be honest questions being asked and i know you are at the forefront of that with that computer but before we run out of time we have to ask you about your health we know you were battling covid-19. can you give us an update? >> [laughter] well i was very fortunate. i got it treated right away, between my son, dr. ryan, my partner, and the president of the united states and his doctor who kept on top of me, they forced me in the hospital. i got immediate treatment, better in two days and i'm 100% right now. i feel great. i feel terrific, and i thank god that those treatments were invented in the last year and i feel very fortunate, you know, this illness didn't exist a year ago and here i was treated with medicines that just got invented in the last year and thanks to donald trump and the warp speed.

any other president we'd still be struggling with what we're going to do about it. pete: well said. mayor rudy giuliani, we're glad that you are feeling well. thanks for the update. please do keep us updated on these legal challenges. >> i will and you guys are terrific. you guys are terrific. love you. rachel: merry christmas, mr. mayor. >> merry christmas to your family too, rachel. rachel: thank you. pete: good stuff. it's an exodus to texas, tech giant oracle joins a growing list of companies bailing on high-tax silicon valley california native larry elder here to break it down. >> ♪ ♪

legislature could override it. the reason people are leaving and going to places like texas is because of taxes and the expense of houses here, because of the ridiculous amount of regulations in california, the coronavirus lockdowns is what spurred elon musk to move, a lot of people are moving, but unfortunately, a lot of people are taking their politics with them and my fear is that texas may become more and more purple as more and more californians come there. will: as a native texan that fear you have is actually widespread in the state of texas as well. we just have about 30 seconds left. >> okay. will: do you expect more? >> real quickly, there is a magazine called ceo magazine and for every year they have the best and worth places in which to do business and for every year they had the list, california has rated as the worst state in which to do business and until and unless that changes we're in trouble. will: oracle, tesla, joe rogan, ben shapiro in the daily wire the exodus is obvious at this point. all right larry love to have you back we have more things we'd
