happening in so many american cities and states that are now shutting down indoor dining and worse because of the spikes in cases that are coming, despite a promising vaccine or not. that will do it here, fox news continues. i'll see you monday. . >> the u.s. reached a major milestone in the fight against the covid pandemic, this less than a die day after approval of the vaccine. the race to get the very first person in america vaccinated and that's something we can all talk about today. all track very closely, feel excited about for the first time in many months. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington d.c., i'm gillian turner. it's great to be with everybody at home, leland, nice to be with you. leland: nice to be with you as well. the first person in the u.k. vaccinated this week. and president trump called it a

medical miracle, saying the first doses in america could be administered within the next 24 hours, mark meredith at the white house as the president is ready to leave for the army-navy football game. >> the president called on the f.d.a. to approve the vaccine and last last night, approved for the emergency operation. and a hope that in 2021 things would be back to the way they were. and the president released this by video from the white house. >> the first vaccine will be administered in less than 24 hours. the governors decide where the vaccines go in their state and who will get them first. we want our senior citizens, health care workers and first responders to be first in line. this will quickly and dramatically reduce deaths and hospitalizations. >> the president went on to call operation warp speed the greatest medical manufacturing

endeavor in american history and reminded americans it's going to be provided at no cost all in an effort to bring the pandemic to an end. the vaccine is a medical breakthrough. there's still no breakthrough on capitol hill for a stimulus package. congress not working this weekend and late this week, top senate republicans indicated they're not likely to support that $900 billion stimulus bill that's been getting buzz. last night, they were able to agree on keeping the government funded and avoided a government shut down for another week. bad news for president trump's legal team, the supreme court rejected a lawsuit from texas to challenge the results in four states. georgia, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. the decision only hours before electorate is scheduled to meet on monday to cost the vote following last month's actual vote and the president weighed in, saying the supreme court had zero interest on the greatest fraud perpetrated on

the u.s. and still, the president's lawyers say this'll keep on fighting. >> what's next now is to take each one of the complaints 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, michigan, georgia, pennsylvania, nevada, arizona, wisconsin, we already have an ongoing case, so, we may or may not supplement it. >> we'll see if the president has anything to say about this. right now i could hear marine one on the south lawn so he should be headed to new york for army, navy football game any moment now and it's possible he could do a flyover on one of the pro-president trump rallies happening on the national mall. we'll wait to see if he'll speak or do that. more as we get it. gillian and leland, back to you. leland: the president said he would see the folks rallying for him a few blocks from you. we can hear marine one, as well in the background. gillian. gillian: they're out in full force, i saw tons of folks headed to the rally on my way

to work. that was several hours ago. finalizing the distribution plans for the vaccine with frontline health care workers and seniors at the front of the line. and lucas tomlinson joins us from f.d.a. headquarters. >> hi, gillian. the f.d.a. authorized pfizer to slip three million doses across the united states for the next 24 hours. at a press conference earlier the head of the f.d.a. pushed back that the white house put pressure on him to cut corners. >> this met the f.d.a. rigorous values for safety, quality and efficacy. science and data guided, and we worked quickly based on the urgency of the pandemic not because of any other external pressure. >> 20 million doses of the vaccine could be shipped across the united states by the end of the year. ups in the east and fed ex to

the west. doctors, nurses and elderly are expected to be top priorities. and work to get all americans vaccinated by june, which would require a massive effort. the guidelines who gets it first, the state governments will make the decision and they caution against a perfect rollout for the new vaccine. >> 2.9 million doses the next week and likely 20 million doses across the country by the end of the year, but it's-- this is absolutely historic, it needs to be celebrated and people need to be really proud of what the united states has done. >> it took over two decades to get a polio vaccine. it took less than a year to get the coronavirus vaccine, incredible accomplishment. gillian. >> lucas tomlinson, leland. neil: and the first batches are going to leave pfizer in

kalamazoo, michigan. mike tobin is there with the manufacturing process and the security for the shipping. hi, mike. >> and leland, so, with that last hurdle cleared, the word is that the shipments of the vaccine will start leaving the docks behind me here tomorrow morning. the number that you just heard about, 2.9 million doses will leave. an equal amount have to stay behind in cold storage for that follow-up dose. but 11 months from research to rollout in terms of vaccines and getting it to the public this process has been very rapid, but all involved, that doesn't mean that corners were cut or safety compromised. the researchers stressed that vaccines were made in and manner consistent with the high quality americans expect with their health care. >> because of the suffering caused by this pandemic, f.d.a. staff felt the responsibility to work through the review process with a sense of urgency while doing their jobs to ensure that any vaccine that's authorized meets the rigorous standards for safety and effectiveness, that americans

and the world have come to expect. >> now, dr. sahin told our greg palkot, we'll start to see an impact when 30% of the u.s. has been innoculated and he believes by april. and the world could get control of the pandemic by the end of summer and he stressed that the vaccine has an excellent safety profile. leland. leland: mike tobin, kalamazoo. we'll see if we can get some video from inside the plant in the coming days. gillian. gillian: the buck stops with u.s. states busy finalizing their plans to distribute the first rounds of vaccines. let's bring in former utah governor mike leavitt and served as health and human services for president george w. bush. mr. governor, thanks so much for taking time with us. we really appreciate it. i want to hear from you first, your impression of the speed with which this vaccine has been essentially delivered to

the united states. something like this, we're led to believe, often takes many years. in this stance we want from day zero to day 100, meaning vaccine distribution day which is probably going to be tomorrow in less than 11 months. >> as previously stated earlier in your story, this is historic, there's never been a moment like this when we've been able to accomplish both scientifically and logistically and from a quality standpoint to move as rapidly as we have in this one. because we've been able to move not sequentially, but in parallel as opposed to doing it one after the other. that speeded the process up. there's been some significant risks taken in the course of it. the government stood behind the risks and made it possible. gillian: so now if we ask you to put your governor hat back on for a moment. i want to pick your brain about what state leaders are thinking

here because now, this vaccine has been approved, the devil's in the detail when it comes down to distribution. how are governors and other state leaders making these really life or death decisions for millions of americans? who gets it when, who doesn't and why? walk us through how you kind of think about a problem like this? >> well, the process does not start today. it started months ago as public health leaders began to contemplate the moment when the vaccine would be approved. that they began to stratify different groups who were at risk. the general principle is, let's give it to those in the most danger first. they also have guidance from c.d.c., the professional scientists who have done this before and have studied this extensively. the c.d.c. has recommended, and i believe most states will follow, that health care workers who are placed in

harm's way every day to those that are sick will be the first priority and then move to other first responders and people in high risk categories, such as those who are elderly and have underlying health conditions. gillian: so another major challenge here is that distribution's obviously starting under president trump and then it's going to continue under president biden. you offer one of the few notes of optimism on this point that i've heard this week. you said you've been in touch with the trump team, turns out they're actually pretty closely synced in terms of coordinating information with the biden transition team, right? >> it started more slowly than ideally, but there's contact between the biden transition team and the trump team. this is being handled by seasoned professionals who want very much for this to happen well. there may be minor differences that happen when there's a shift in the responsibility,

but for the most part, i think this has been coordinated. gillian: if you're an average american under the age of 60 who doesn't have major underlying health conditions, what do you think is -- what is important for us to think about? should we be-- meaning when we're mentally preparing ourselves and our families for eventually getting the vaccine. do you think we should think about a few months from now or is it more realistically speaking closer to a year from now as some folks are saying? >> well, first, i'm flattered by the fact that you'd put me in that category, i happen to be older than that, but i think about this a lot and i have family members, of course, in both cases, i have parents who i deeply love and want to make sure that they get it as quickly as they can. i have children and other loved ones i hope will take the vaccine. this is an important decision in people's lives, but it's a good decision. we need to take this vaccine.

it will be safe, it will be effective and i think there will be some logistical snags, there always will be when you're dealing with deployment of something this large and affecting this many people. there will be people who will be waiting in line for it. there will be people who in fact are discouraged by the fact that they didn't get it soon enough, but in a remarkable way and by the time, as you suggested earlier, by the time we get to the summer, i think almost every american will have had an opportunity to have the vaccine. >> thank you for taking time with us today. we appreciate it. >> thank you. gillian: you bet. leland. leland: the day after the supreme court rejected president trump's bid to overturn the election, he's tweeting that it was a quote, disgraceful miscarriage of justice, the people of the united states were cheated and our country disgraced, never even given our day in court. his most ardent supporters agree and they're taking to the

streets in washington d.c. along with counter-protesters, a picture a couple blocks from the white house. griff jenkins on the ground with some of the more notable. protesters. hi, griff. >> hey, leland, how are you? you can hear them, they're chanting donald trump, in the background. there's several thousand people have turned out here right now, and you've got spokers on the stage. leland, it's a culmination of a two-week bus tour, the march for trump bus tour started in florida and ended up here. i've got the man behind it all, mike lindell. what's your reaction to the supreme court decision? >> well, it's great news, everyone, the supreme court thing with texas had nothing to do with what sidney powell and everybody working on the front part of it. sidney texted me last night, all of her lawsuits against georgia, arizona, wisconsin and

michigan are before the supreme court and i know the fraud, everyone, the whole world is going to see it and go i cannot believe that happened in our country, it's supposed to be a free country and a fair election. i had this today, i got behind this bus, i've been going for two week that it's real. it's 100% this election was taken and it's not right, both sides should want fair elections in the future and this is what it's all about, getting rid of this. >> mike, obviously, the supreme court didn't go in your way, and we had the national anthem going here, so it's a difficult moment to be talking when we should be honoring this. we see the president-- >> the president, the supreme court had nothing to do, that would have been a bonus if they accepted what the states did by going against our great constitution, but that had nothing to do with that, the fraud will be exposed. it got before the supreme court last night at 2:00 in the morning.

so, but this is not over, this is actually, this is going to be the greatest thing ever. it's the greatest opportunity to expose all the fraud and the election fraud. this is a blessing. in fact, if we had never had fair elections in the future, technology is too good where you can steal and have fights like this and not know what happened. >> i apologize to our viewers upset that we're talking during the national anthem, this is live television indeed. let me ask you though, we believe the president may pass by and obviously, on the heels of the disappointing supreme court, in 10 seconds, sum up where we can go from here. what's the final message? >> my final message, everybody keep the faith because we're in the greatest revival in history and this is an anomaly and when we get through it we're going to look back and say this all had to happen the way that god intended it to and it will be okay. i just want everybody in the country to have faith that god's got his hand in all of this and it will all be a

blessing when it's over. and there is our president. >> and this, by the way, if you can look up here, leland, it's the president flying by in marine one at this very moment and obviously. >> there's our president for four more years. there he is right there. god bless america! we're one nation under god! >> all right, as we see marine one flying off, the president will head to andrews air force base off to west point. and this is a fired up crowd. very peaceful out here right now and a lot of energy. leland. >> all right, griff, check back with you throughout the day. thank you. gillian: lots of media outlets you may have noticed declined to cover allegations made about joe biden's son hunter during the run-up to the presidential electi election. but now there are multiple investigations into his taxes and some outlets are changing their tune. howie kirtz is it going to

>> you're looking at live pictures from right here in the nation's capital where trump supporters are now out on the streets in full force. it's just after 12:15 p.m.

eastern time. >> the fox news alert, we're now looking into new information into multiple investigations into hunter biden in his time as a self-described emissary with a chinese company that happened in 2017. fox news obtained an e-mail from hunter biden winning keys for his new, quote, office mates, joe biden and jim biden. obviously at the time he was not president elect. hillary vaughan digging into the investigation more into hunter biden. hi. >> fox news is the outlet that actually got a response from president-elect joe biden when he was pressed the on questions on the criminal interview into his son hunter, since the news of the investigation broke. >> did hunter biden commit a

crime? have you spoken to your son, mr. president-elect? >> i'm proud of my son. >> biden has long side he has not talked to hunter about his overseas business deals, but foxnews.com dug up an e-mail from the daily caller, from hunter biden asking for four new keys to the office what he calls office mates, lists his dad joe biden as an office mate along with two chinese businessmen. and his overseas business deals specifically in china. we tracked down a paper trail of suspicious activity detailed in a senate report and hunter was doing business with two chinese nationals mentioned in the e-mail, ming, a chinese businessman featured here standing next to president xi and the right hand man. and those connections according to the report turned out millions of dollars in cash

flow for hunter. fox news is told that the president-elect, joe biden, is not a subject of this federal criminal investigation, and he has repeatedly denied knowing anything about hunter's business deals. but hunter's ex-business partn partner told in the fall that he disappeared. >> the president-elect says that he has no knowledge of the business. >> when he states that, that's a blatant lie. >> tucker's exclusive interview with air at 5 p.m. on fox news today. a must-watch, leland. leland: there's a lot more in that interview, hillary vaughan. we'll see if we get any more from the biden camp. later on the show we'll talk more about a former prosecutor about an investigation into hunter biden and tucker carlson's interview with the

hunter biden's contact, bobulinski. >> and when there was the laptop of hunter biden, that was played down. the tide seem to be confirm since hunter biden confirmed that he's under multiple investigations. the host of media buzz, howie kurtz joins us to break it down. thanks for joining us. president trump tweeted about this and obviously thinking about it, what's he saying? >> he's fired up. in one tweet, president trump retweeting a conservative radio host says that the wall street journal story, attorney general william barr new in the spring and kept it quiet and that he

should be fired. actually bill barr was doing his job. it's part of the guidelines if you don't have enough information about someone and leaking it would be criminal. and barr avoided of being another jim comey, accused of interfering late in the game on hillary clinton. and if biden were to become president would kill the investigation. biden said in an interview he would not interfere with any justice department investigations that was with regard to an ny future investigation into donald trump. >> and what about-- >> a guilty conscience for some organizations minimizing the story during the campaign. fox covered is extensively and

so has the wall street journal and the times has. but little time on nbc or-- there's anonymous sources. and i think it's fair to say that the mainstream media as a whole had a lot more enthuse achl for the russian investigation or any of president trump's kids than they do about joe biden's son. gillian: some media outlets referred to this information that new york post reported as russian disinformation. and maybe a guilty conscience about that. that's the status on the doj investigation. >> there's news of a second probe run by pittsburgh, and rudy giuliani, seeing what he could dig up on hunter biden

and you remember he went to the ukraine. and whether there's something questionable about the justice department told to sit down with the president's personal lawyer who is investigating the son of a political opponent, maybe legitimate, obviously, rudy giuliani himself a former federal prosecutor. gillian: well, fox news broke some information today. they've obtained an e-mail that reportedly shows that hunter biden asking office keys for his father and others. do you think other outlets are going to pick up on this later today or over the weekend at all? >> well, i guess the short answer is they should because this is one of the few pieces evidence we've seen that actually potentially ties joe biden to the situation. now, it doesn't show that joe biden was in business with his son, in trying to negotiate this chinese energy deal, $10 million deal that never actually came to fruition. maybe they were just going to share office space, but it shows a less than -- between

hunter biden, his dad, and his brother, and chinese executives. we need to know about it and if the news organizations look the other way it will say to me that they're not terribly interested in pursuing this particular probe. gillian: howie kurtz, thanks for joining us. howie will have the latest on the media coverage of the hunter biden investigation on media buzz on fox news channel. leland: pictures at joint base andrews, marine just just touched down. it threw over the pro trump rally outside of the-- yes, flew over in the middle of griff jenkins' live shot. you can see the marine and air force officer walking up to marine one. president trump will get out and then he heads to new york for the army-navy game. and then president-elect trump went there in 2016. going for a number of years.

what's different this year, it's not going to be in either baltimore or philadelphia, but for the first time, i believe, since world war ii, the army-navy game is going to be at west point. the and the reason is, is because of the controls and restrictions on crowds in philadelphia where they normally hold the game. neutral territory, if you will, between annapolis, the naval academy and west point. gillian: and also beautiful this time of year, particularly beautiful scenery around there, around west point. it's going to be incredible for the folks that do get to go and participate this year, not only are they going to get presidential attendance, it's going to be spectacularly beautiful. leland: and typically what the president does during the visits, he'll visit both locker rooms and it's an exciting moment and typically spend half of the game on one side line and the other half on the other side line not to show any favorism as the army and navy

compete for the he trophy. and see if he's going to talk with the press that's assembled. didn't talk when he left the white house. in the past he hasn't shown any preference for army or navy during his visits. >> which is the decent thing to do. you don't want to have your hand in it or perceived to have your hand in it. it's too important to too many people. leland: this is the president's trip back to west point he was back there giving the commencement address in the summer and he spoke to the cadets who graduated. navy leads 61-52, and largest 51-0, which is something that the navy would like to see again today. navy won last year, so we'll see what the president says about that in the locker rooms. he heads up to air force one, not stopping to speak to the press and obviously, we'll cover the president's visit there and also the coin toss out on the field at army stadium here in a couple of

hours. in the meantime, watching this, house speaker nancy pelosi says she's not really worried about democratic congressman eric swalwell's connection to an alleged chinese spy. well, swalwell is on the intelligence committee and some on capitol hill disaagree with the speaker's assessment. we'll tell you why coming up.

cramer, executive director of women for america. why are you doing this? >> we're doing this because the american people feel their vote has been disenfranchised and we ha have-- he's been fighting for us for four years and we're fighting for him. and we want every legal ballot to be counted and every illegal ballot to be dismissed. there was a massive outpouring and within four or five days, we kept the momentum going. and we had one bus and added one throughout the tour. people throughout the country are fired up and feel their voice has not been heard. >> you're going to the supreme court. what's the message to the supreme court? >> that the american people are watching and we deserve to have the constitution upheld. many men and women veterans

have died protecting the constitution and we want them to uphold that and that's our message and we've announced we'll continue on with the bus tour after day. and people can find our schedule. >> thank you, as we found out here, this movement at least the bus tour will continue beyond today. leland: it says a sense where the crowds have come from from around the country. griff, thank you ♪ >> california democrat eric swalwell is facing growing backlash over alleged ties to a chinese spy and for a house ethics investigation. christina coleman has the latest on the story. hi. >> hi, yesterday, g.o.p. rep jim sensenbrenner filed a complaint with the house ethics committee urging them to find

out if swalwell has been compromised by a chinese spy and kicked off the intelligence committee which gives him access to the nation's secrets. >> and that involves an investigation into the nature and contact that this apparent spy had with the congressman, whether or not there were people in his office or close to the congressman who were being directed by the spy and whether or not any of those people got access to classified information. >> as they identified the spy as christine fan, and allegedly helped swalwell fund raise and sleeping with two unnamed mayors from the midwest. axios reports that she did not get information from politicians and that swalwell cut ties with her once u.s. intelligence officials briefed him in 2015. that's when she left the united

states. despite growing concern over swalwell, pelosi says she's not worried. >> i don't have any concern about mr. swalwell. the leadership of the house and the committee were informed that overtures from a chinese person was-- were being made to members of congress, when that was made known to the members of congress, it was over. >> now, swalwell says he believes about his interactions were leaked by someone from the trump administration since he was critical of trump and worked to impeach him. gillian: the key part left out by the speaker is that chinese information specialists did make overtures to various members of congress, but only some of them took the bait. thanks so much, christina, we appreciate it. coming up later in the show, we've got the former top fbi agent chris sweker, he joins us to talk about how swalwell's

relationship, suspected relationship with that chinese operative could have national security implications. stick with us. leland: wait for that. minneapolis city council has vote this had week to cut eight million from the police budget even though the city has seen a spike in violent crime including a police officer wounded in the shooting last night. there have been 5,084 violent crimes up from the year before, up 1500 from 2018. we bring in nam vice-president fraternal order of police. we appreciate you being with us, sir. draw the line for us, if you can from what happened in minneapolis and the riots there, the defunding the police movement in minneapolis and the spike in crime. >> well, i'll tell you, this narrative about defunding the police is completely i will --

illogical and insane. let me give you a snapshot how bad it is in minneapolis right now. murders up, and carjackings, 537%. i kid you not. it's completely out of control and talking about cutting 8 million from the budget. what are they doing with the money and vague platitudes, we'll offer wrap-around services for people and excuse me, people don't want to hear that when people are murdered wholesale on the street. leland: minneapolis isn't the worse, milwaukee, plus 91%. seattle up 74%. louisville 73, new orleans up 63%. i guess the question would be, the ferguson effect, so to speak, responsible for this and what are you hearing from officers around the country about the lack of support they're getting? are they just not able to get the bad guys or do they not

want to? where is the-- where is the effect on police morale? >> well, let me tell you what now, the brave men and women of law enforcement putting that uniform on, they're doing their job and catching the bad guys. what we have is a pattern of rogue prosecutors and judges across this country that are repeatedly releasing people out on pr bonds and sweetheart deals for violent crimes and we're seeing murders spike in all of our major cities, a. >> an of 51 cities across the country show us murders. and when you have cities defunding police, including l.a. and see spikes on murders, they spent the money cleaning up the medians. the community doesn't give a darn how the esplanades look. >> and omar said

transformative change whi we listen to failed police policies in our community and the rest of the city council that worked in support of this effort. the question would be this, is the anti-police narrative that you see coming out of minneapolis and the defund the police movement affecting cities like yours in houston where not necessarily that's happening, but criminals are emboldened and police feel at times frightened to do their job. >> yes, absolutely. criminals right now they know there's no consequences for their actions and they know that they literally have politicians supporting them right now while they do these crimes and it's interesting that the congresswoman would make these types of comments because you know who is impacted the most by these increases in violent crimes? it's our black and brown communities because sta tis -- statistically they're the victims of these crimes. leland: and they're not able to

amazon, facebook, and apple. the anti-trust against monopolies have largely been dormant. a company likely had more chance of the migratory bird act and of killing a competitor. what really is amazing is the rapid shift in cleaning and i don't think we're going to go back to the way it was before. i mean, not with the concerns that you see on both the left and on the right. gillian: so with this lawsuit, the facebook lawsuits, both of them actually, ftc and the 46 states. that facebook is behaving anti-competitively or abusing its power by forcibly buying out the small social media apps that could be down the line who could be competitors. cites instagram.

mark zuckerberg says that's not the case and take a listen to what he said in front of a house panel. >> viewed instagram as a competitor, as a kind of large multi-purpose social platform. in fact, people at the time kind of mocked our acquisition because they thought that we dramatically spent more money than we should have. gillian: i mean, what do you make of that? >> it's -- i mean, the documents here are so damning. as you pointed out earlier, when zuckerberg said it's better to buy than to compete, what they had was a weapon that earlier mon newspaperlies -- monopolies didn't have. through the date that that goes through the platform they can identify nascent competitive threats. they do one of three things, they acquire them, they copy them, or they kill them. so, i think it would be hard for a judge to accept that when

the internal documents suggest a contrary story. gillian: yeah, last question, we've got two seconds here, do you think that coping congress is going to take legislative action? or drag on the hearings and take them up to capitol hill? >> i hope so, there's the do not track act. there's bipartisan work being done on improving anti-trust laws. i think we really need an upgrade if we want to rein in the data. gillian: maureen stuckey, thanks for your time, we appreciate it. >> thank you. gillian: coming up we'll tell you everything we know about pfizer's new approved covid vaccine and how they plan to distribute it. ♪ if only in my dreams ♪

in clinical trials that were far larger than normal and had no serious side of effects. the dedicatend and independent experts as the fda studied the results of the trials and it has now passed the gold standard of safety. through operation warp speed, my administration provided a total of $14 billion to accelerate vaccine development and to manufacture all of the top candidates in advance. this included a nearly $2 billion investment in pfizer to produce 100 million doses of their vaccine with an option to produce 500 million additional doses. and i'm proud to say that we have made sure that this vaccine will be free for all americans. gillian: for more on this let's go to steve harrigan, hes is live at cdc headquarters. hi, steve. >> reporter: gillian, the cdc advisory committee is meeting

virtually today to discuss this pfizer vaccine. they're likely to vote today to give it approval. as many as 3 million doses of the vaccine will go out immediately to 600 spots across the u.s. by the end of this year, they estimate as many as 25 million doses will be out there. the first doses going to people in nursing homes as well as healthcare workers. president trump touted the historical significance of this vaccine. >> 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. >> reporter: now, there will be challenges with distribution of the vaccine. it those be kept very cold at 94 degrees below zero fahrenheit. it will be packed in dry ice. it's estimated by mid next year at the earliest, that's when the

bulk of americans could have received the vaccine. until then, medical experts say we will need to continue to observe safety measures. >> we'll keep having to wear our masks and do the social distancing and we'll have to do that until we all get the all-clear. this is likely to go on for still any number of months. so we should all be prepared for that and continue to do that social distancing and doing everything we can to keep flattening the curve. >> reporter: now, pfizer vaccine took just 11 months to create instead of years as is normal for vaccines. as early as next week, a second vaccine also highly effective, moderna, is expected to be approved. gillian, back to you. gillian: very exciting weekend, steve harrigan from cdc head quarters. thank you. leland: little bit more on the vaccine rollout and new restrictions in several states are facing as cases rise. california assemblyman james

gallagher and the man you heard from in steve's piece, professor ativan deer -- at vanderbilt university, dr. shaker. you have been one of the most thoughtful voices since the beginning on this, often saying we don't know what we don't know and that's important to keep in mind. what is the important things we know about the vaccine? what are the important things we still don't know about what the next few months will look like? >> thank you for your kind words, leland. we know a lot about this vaccine. it's been extensively tested in large populations. it does require two doses. it provides stunning protection, 95%. that's more than we anticipated. and the studies show that it's safe. we have a little bit of a side issue here with people who have had serious allergic reactions in the past. that was just discovered in britain. we'll take care of that going forward.

but we think we can roll this out really in a very deliberate, careful way, first to healthcare workers, and also to residents of long-term care facilities. we're all looking forward to had that. i would underline again, though, we still have to keep our masks on, do the social distancing, and that will be with us for several months yet. leland: real quick, and i'm going to get to john in a minute on this. i'm old enough to remember a press conference in the rose garden back in march where president trump said you were going to be able to go get a test in the parking lot of cvs or walmart or of walgreens or target the next week and you could look it up on google maps and everything was going to be great. is this rollout and the idea that you're going to have sort of mass vaccinations by march or april a little bit too optimistic or does that sound reasonable to you? >> it sounds a bit aspirational. this process will take place over many months and i think

will actually come to its goal in the summer and early fall. i would hope that next year, thanksgiving time, this time we can go back to near normal. stretch it out a little bit. there are an awful lot of people who are hesitant about receiving the vaccine. we'll have to provide a lot of good education and a lot of reassurance. leland: doesn't seem as though you're hesitant which should be reassuring to all of us. john, specifically what's happened in california, new cases, 35,000 there, new deaths, 159, new hospitalizations, 463 and the governor there and a number of the mayors are locking things down in a way that some call it draconian but goes back to what we saw at the beginning of the pandemic. anything you hear from the doctor, a reason not to have the lockdowns we see right now? >> well, one i want to say that i think president trump and these companies and their innovation deserve a lot of credit for getting the vaccine

at record time and pace. and so we certainly are looking forward to having that vaccine and making it available. i think what the problem with the lockdowns is they aren't based on solid science. there is nothing that really solidly shows that lockdowns actually decrease cases. in fact, there's a lot of evidence that the voluntary behavioral changes that the doctor talked about are actually the things that lead to reduction in cases. meanwhile, many of our businesses have been shut down. leland: businesses have been shut down, a lot of businesses are going out of business. there's some prediction that's a third of restaurants will go out of business especially in new york city where indoor dining has now been forebitten once again -- forbiden once again. this was neil cavuto earlier talking about the issue you talked about in terms of where transmission comes from. take a listen. >> it really feels like the decision making is at odds with numbers. restaurants are responsible for

1.4% of the spread, living room spread is 74%. leland: if the science is on your side and business owners' side, why is the move to lockdowns so quick? >> well, it's almost like a group think. i mean, the governor and his select experts at the department of public health have decided that shutdowns are the answer and there's really been no input otherwise. and then to add insult to injury, all these millions of people that have been unemployed by these decisions can't get their unemployment benefits because the governor's agency has a three-quarters of a million person backlog in getting those benefits to people and actually some of those benefits have been paid to prisoners and people on death row and there's been fraud up to almost $2 billion. leland: i want to get back to the issue of fraud in california, it's an important one, one to think about. but i want to get back to dr. shatner real quick. back when we didn't know the things we didn't know in march

and april, people were much more willing to comply with the lockdowns and perhaps it made more sense. are you of the camp now that as we see the statistics diverging in terms of where the spread is happening, that perhaps the idea of lockdowns and shutting businesses down is not the right thing going forward? >> well, i certainly em take size all those -- emphasize all those personal matters, wearing the masks, social distancing and avoiding large groups. the current data would indicate that it is group gatherings that disseminate the virus and people bring it home, spread it in their families, to their neighbors and friends. so watch those group gatherings. a group is a group. it doesn't matter whether it's political, religious, recreational or whatever. avoid those groups. they're dangerous. leland: and we're waiting for the data from people who got together in whatever size groups from thanksgiving. gentlemen, appreciate both of your insight and analysis here on both sides of the coast.

good to see you both. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, leland. ♪ gillian: as small businesses struggle to keep up with changing covid regulations and restrictions, one town on the border of virginia and tennessee is finding it difficult to balance conflicting covid restrictions. mark meredith was in bristol earlier this week. he takes a closer look at this unique town. >> reporter: from above, bristol looks like one city. look closely and you see the state line separating tennessee and virginia runs through downtown, forcing bristol business toss comply with different health he restrictions depending of on which side of the street they're on. >> it's challenging as a business owner for sure. >> reporter: glen cook owns a business in bri bristol, virgin. his gym remains open for now. as covid cases surge, he knows it's possible more restrictions could be imposed. >> it would be aggravateing to see one side like literally ayou

cross the street to be able to do anything and us being closed. that's not going to help at all. >> reporter: last month, virginia placed limits on in person gatherings and alcohol sales, impacting event spaces, including a new boutique sessions hotel. >> it's disappointing, a lot of holiday parties are postponed. we're looking at weddings for next year. >> reporter: sullivan county, encompassing bristol, tennessee, has not enacted the same restrictions. virginia's governor calls the split a health hazard. >> in our border communities, people routinely cross state lines to work, shop, and visit their families. what happens in these other states affects us. >> reporter: bristol businesses appear to be taking the divide in stride. beth rinehart is the president of bristol's chamber of commerce. >> a lot of business owners step up to have frank conversations through psas and other things to encourage people, be responsible for yourself, for your family. >> reporter: some virginia businesses also fear they will

eventually lose customers to tennessee if more restrictions are added in the weeks ahead. bristol's leaders insist the city's fate is not split, instead tied together as one. >> when one side loses business, he everybody loses business. >> reporter: residents and businesses tell us they would like virginia leaders and tennessee leaders to get together and come up with a comprehensive plan for dealing with the virus. they think that it is needed because the number of covid cases in this area has skyrocketed since thanksgiving. gillian. gillian: great reporting from mark meredith. joining us now is one of the small business owners in that very town. joe diehl. he's the owner of the but you br bar, located on the virginia side of bristol. it's not easy to talk about businesses over of and over again that are struggling -- small businesses that are suffering, struggling. you say that so far this year you've generated $2,500 in profits, but in a given year, a healthy, normal year, you'd be looking at somewhere between 75

and 100k. tell us what that looks like for you and your family and your employees in terms of quality of life. >> well, we've been trying to keep a good attitude. it's been really hard. this is the slowest year we've had. we have owned the burger bar for eight years now. every year we've done a little better. this year has been devastating. we do a lot of catering. this month alone we normally have at least one catering every day. this month we had three. so it is really tough. the restrictions from side to side with the state line definitely makes it a little harder. gillian: so let's talk about the catering for a second. something we hear from state and local officials over and over again when it comes to shutting down restaurants, indoor, outdoor, is well, you know, there's still takeout and restaurants can provide takeout and do delivery and refocus their energy and efforts on that. testimony us why that's not such a seamless challenge. >> some restaurants including

us, there's not a lot of parking. we don't have a drive-through window. the fast food chains are set up for this. restaurants like me where we have curb service, we're talking out, -- walking out. it's not conducive for us to have curb service. i'm a small restaurant. we can see out our windows. i think people are regulating themselves right now. the regulations are slowing people down. i think people are scared to get out right now. gillian: new york's governor announced they're forcefully shutting down indoor dining once again, despite multiple studies that show really indoor dining is accountable for a he very negligible amount in terms of overall spread, just under one and-a-half percent. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, we've of course been hit with this ever since it started. we haven't had it hit our restaurant alone. i've seen other places shut down due to covid where they closed

for two weeks. but we've just been maintaining our distancing, cleaning the tables, everyone wearing a mask. i'm alone right now is the reason i don't have a mask on. but you just have to -- we're following the rules. we're not having any issues. but it's all around us if we would have one more shutdown i think it would probably close us down. gillian: joe diehl, as soon as we can travel state to state again without going through quarantine in d.c., we will be there to get a burger. thanks so much. we wish you the best. >> come and see us. thank you very much for having me. gillian: leland. leland: these lockdowns have been an issue in the georgia senate race. early voting there will decide control of the united states senate starts on monday. there's big name republicans on the road in the peach state right now. charles watson in canton, georgia, where the group is stopping today. hi, charles. >> reporter: hey, leland. as you very well know, these senate runoff races are high stakes and both sides are

bringing in big names into georgia to help get out the vote beginning with republicans. today, the save america tour makes a stop in canton. you can see the stage is set. folks are starting to fill in their seats. this is part of a 22 county statewide bus tour. folks are in for a treat today. lee greenwood will put on a free concert. we're also expected to hear from former vice presidential candidate sarah palin and representative jim jordan, among others. senator loeffler is on a tour of her own. on friday she kicked off a 10-day statewide tour of northwest georgia where she said pandemic relief is on the way if she's reelected. >> targeted relief is aped at those most impacted by the virus, like small businesses, restaurants, hot by at that time -- hospitality, where they've been forced to shut their doors. >> reporter: on the other side,

john ossoff and reverend raphael warnock are promising to turn georgia blue, telling supporters at a rally on friday that democrats will look out for the working class. >> it's time that ordinary people and working people and struggling families and working families have a representative in the united states senate. >> reporter: and as president-elect biden gets ready to campaign for democrats on tuesday, biden is concerned his message on police reform and the defund the police label could hurt democrats in georgia so leland we'll have to see if the president-elect brings that up. also, a friendly reminder that early voting begins monday. leland. leland: going to be very interesting to see the early numbers there. no expense spared in the get out the vote campaign or anything right now in the two georgia senate races. charles, thank you. gillian: washington, d.c. city streets surrounding the white house are packed this saturday. trump supporters as well as some

counter-protesters are gathering now. they plan to make their voices heard all day long about the 2020 presidential election. griff jenkins is out there, talking to people. he's going to tell us what he's hearing, after the break.

i knew about the tremors. but when i started seeing things, i didn't know what was happening... so i kept it in. he started believing things that weren't true. i knew something was wrong... but i didn't say a word. during the course of their disease around 50% of people with parkinson's may experience hallucinations or delusions. but now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. the only fda approved medicine... proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinson's. don't take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementia-related psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinson's disease. nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes

in heart rhythm. tell your doctor about any changes in medicines you're taking. the most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. we spoke up and it made all the difference. ask your parkinson's specialist about nuplazid. we're portuguese? i thought we were hungarian. can you tell me that story again? behind every question is a story waiting to be discovered. this holiday, start the journey with a dna kit from ancestry. this holiday, start the journey with a dna kit twto treat acute, non-low back stmuscle and joint pain doctors with topical nsaids first. a formulation they recommend can be found in salonpas. a formulation they recommend can be found in salonpas. salonpas. it's good medicine. hisamitsu.

fight for a free, fair and transparent election and the frustration from 70 plus million people in this country feel as though they did not get a fair election. that this election process had too many irregularities and we are prepared to fight and this is just the beginning. >> reporter: you had a setback in the fight, the supreme court ruling against the lawsuits that could have possibly overturned the results. >> let me say this. there are too many irregularities and i understand what the supreme court has said and done. but this fight is long from being over. there's too much at stake. we cannot tolerate communism and socialism that the left embrace. we cannot tolerate defunding the police which the left embraces. we can not tolerate stacy abrams and her crowd that have been

tampering with the elections. the mail-in ballots had too much exposure. there's no way this president got more votes than any other president and he didn't get enough votes to beat joe biden who was in the basement. there may basketball lots hidden -- there may be ballots hidden in the basement. we don't know. we are going to hold the line in georgia. we are going to make sure that our folks get out, those conservative democrats, republicans, minorities and even liberal democrats that know that joe biden is not the answer for this country. i know they're out there. and we're going to do this in order to make sure that our of country is for the people, by the people, of the people and our voices are heard and our votes are counted. >> reporter: vernon jones, thank you very much. gillian, that's what's happening out here on a pretty nice saturday afternoon. gillian: all right. thanks for that, griff.

check back in with you later. leland: there are new questions about how involved now president-elect joe biden was in his son's questionable business dealings. a 2017 e-mail shows hunter biden requesting office keys for his family. here's i the e-mail. please have keys made available for new office mates, said the e-mail, in the e-mail, hunter buy dense requests keys for an emissary for the chairman of the cesc chinese energy company. joining us now, former assistant u.s. attorney, alex little. we appreciate you being with us. one of the investigations into hunter biden revolves around tax evasion. reminds me a little bit of how they went after al capone with tax evasion. is that's what's going on here? >> tax evasion is one of the

most difficult things to prosecute criminally, particularly if someone is sophisticated, uses accountants, has professional advice. they have to prove your specific intent was to avoid payment of taxes that is difficult to do. it's a difficult crime to prove. it has to be coordinated with multiple agencies. it can be used in cases like al capone where they don't have evidence of things they know he did. here it looks like they looked at money laundering issues and they decided the only crime they could pursue is potential tax fraud. leland: we learned out of the mueller investigation, i'm thinking specifically about paul manafort who was wrapped up on crimes that were unrelated, perhaps. is there a new standard now in washington between things that people would never think about being prosecuteable crimes, spca registrations and things that were a wink and nod before and now the standard has been set that republicans went to jail for it so perhaps democrats would as well? >> you know, i think you could

look at it that way. you could say when you get on the radar of the federal government, that's usually a bad thing for a criminal suspect or criminal defendant. leland: perhaps you could expand on that. being on the radar of the fbi or anybody probably is not a good thing. >> right. exactly. now they're using tools which weren't used as commonly say 10 of or 15 years ago. leland: this is joe bobulinski who will be on with tucker carlson tonight in a special. we want to play a clip from it. take a listen. get your reaction. >> no knowledge whatsoever of the son's business dealings, was not involved in them at all but this sounds like direct involvement of them. >> that's a bleeding lie, when he states that that, is a blatant lie. leland: so that's attorney bobulinski in the interview with tucker carlson where he kept drawing the connection between joe biden's dealings and hunter biden's dealings. federal prosecutors said no surprise that somebody had

substance abuse problems that hunter had in the past had tax issues, wasn't paying his taxes. what kind of line do you need in connection to joe biden for prosecutors that would really change this case? >> well, right now there doesn't appear to be any. tax liability is individual to the person. you don't get tax liability through a family member. and so there's no suggestion in any of the reporting so far that joe biden had anything to do with the potential nonpayment of taxes by his son, hunter. you would need some evidence which hasn't put forth at all that suggests he was involved in business dealings, that those dealings were improper. the senate looked at that, the house looked at it there's been no evidence that the president-elect is involved in any of it. leland: if you were the lawyer for hunter biden, what would you be worried about right now that could take this beyond a tax case? >> i'd be worried about the news media, frankly. i think this is not a case that if you prosecute anybody else in the country or defend anybody

else in the country, you wouldn't be concerned about this. but this client, hunter biden, has been under incredible scrutiny because of his relationship with the president-elect. look, the political environment here is what is driving the story. it's what's driving the attention. if this was anybody else in regular business dealings i won wouldn't be very concerned. these are hard cases to prove. leland: this is a tweet from president trump. would it be incumbent on the next attorney general, no matter what, to appoint a special pros prosecutor on this? >> probably. i think one of the things that the president-elect talked about is separating political decisions from the white house and the department of justice. here if you're looking at a probe of the son of the president, you probably need a special prosecutor. that's a great example of why you need -- leland: a stark litmus test at the very beginning to see whether good deeds follow good actions or consistent deeds

follow good actions,. >> particularly to see if the president, president trump, is able to pardon his sons and daughters preemptively. there's been reporting on that. i think it would change the environment for the biden investigation considerably. leland: it is 2020, so everything is possible. alex, we appreciate your time and you walking through things with us. we'll talk to you soon. >> thank you. leland: a lot more on this, tucker carlson's interview with former hunter biden associate, tony bobulinski, it's a special at 5:00 p.m. eastern. that interview means so much more now in terms of the context because of these additional e-mails. tomorrow, house minority whip steve scalise joins chris wallace on fox news sunday. check your local listing for time and channels to see what the minority whip has to say about things. gillian: new york is shutting down indoor dining as covid cases in the city continue to spike. brian llenas is there, he's got the latest, coming up next.

gillian: new york's governor andrew cuomo is shutting down indoor dining beginning on monday. brian llenas is in new york city with the details on that. hi, brian. >> reporter: hi, gillian. here in new york, city indoor dining was shut down for six months and only reopened two months ago at just 25% capacity inside. but now new york governor andrew cuomo shutting down indoor dining again, commo come monde says partly because of new cdc recommendations that came out last week that recommended that people stay away from nonessential indoor spots like restaurants and bars. >> you put the cdc caution on indoor dining, together with the rate of transmission, and the density and the crowding, that

is a bad situation. the hospitalizations have continued to increase in new york city. we said that we would watch it, if the stableize -- if the hospital rate didn't stabilize we would close indoor dining. it has not. >> reporter: this morning, the new york post blasted governor cuomo's decision, depicting him as the grinch on their cover, calling his decision a startling blow to businesses trying to survive the pandemic. the biggest criticism is the governor is choosing to shut down indoor dining on monday monday, despite contact tracing data shows restaurants and bars accounted for 1.43% of the 46,000 recently tracked coronavirus cases across the state. meanwhile, private household gatherings and social events inside are linked to 74% of recent covid infections. aaron bellard, the owner of a

bar in new york city, she spoke to neil cavuto about what it's like to survive with outdoor dining and takeout. >> we have pods, we have tents outside. the reality is, it's going to snow on wednesday. the second that happens, we're all paying rent and taxes and no ability to generate revenue. >> reporter: winter is in fact here. she said at 25% capacity she was already losing money. she was hoping that they would bump that up to 50% indoor capacity. now she's back to zero. she says her and other restaurants may not survive without some federal relief, fast. gillian. gillian: she's also right. not that many people want to eat outdoors in the snow. brian llenas in new york city, thanks so much. leland: fox news alert. it's going to snow in a few days but it's a beautiful day for football in new york. stuart air national guard base, president trump, air force one

touching down a couple of minutes ago. he's going to hop on marine one, head over to west point. the game is being played at west point for the first time since world war ii because of restrictions on events and sporting events in philadelphia where the game is normally played. president trump first went to the game back in 2016. he was then president-elect. it was a wild experience and both teams loved him showing up and he traditionally visits the army and navy lockerrooms, gives a pep talk to each team and spends a little time on each sideline so as not to show favoriteism. it looks like he's hopping into what's affectionately known as the beast because of the foggy weather we see there. it will feel like a fall day for football. gillian: hopefully he'll be able to see the game. there is growing outcry over congressman eric swalwell's alleged connection to a suspected chinese spy. we'll talk to an fbi agent about

how this could pose a risk to national security.

kind to skin. protects like tena. leland: california congressman eric swalwell is facing calls for a house ethics investigation into a suspected chinese spy who helped fund raise for his campaign. joining us now, former fbi special agent chris zweker. axios broke this news about christine fang, 2011 to 2015, she ran a network of associates on the west coast. for every one of these chinese illegals that we know about, so-to-speak, how many don't we that chinese intelligence has running around the united states? >> oh, there are literally hundreds, if not thousands. and what the public needs to know is that china is the greatest national security threat by far to this country. there was a great article by the director of national intelligence this past week that laid that out about as starkly as you can lay it out to the

american public. so the fbi's mission is to counter that threat. they are spy catchers. and in this case, they know about the methods that are used but they don't know where all these spies and intelligence operatives are or where they're working. leland: we've got some interesting pictures here. this was eric swalwell with christine fang back in the day, i believe these pictures come from 2013. it's got to be pretty sophisticated, though, in a way that we didn't ever see from the russians, that the chinese are going after then city council members and mayors with intelligence operatives on sort of the hope or the if, come that they grow in stature and eventually they have relationships with congressmen who of like swalwell, in way they picked a good one, ends up on the intelligence committee. >> yeah. i've heard it described as flooding the zone by the chinese. they target a lot of people in a lot of positions, not just federal, not just congressmen

and senators. they want to impact public opinion. san francisco is a great place to do that for the chinese intelligence services and they literally want to influence public opinion and create a public perception that chinese isn't the threat that they really are. but they far out-pace the russians. leland: here's eric swalwell defending himself if you will about his relationship with christine fang. take a listen. >> are you concerned that you shared any information with this person before you were notified by the fbi? >> well, i know that i didn't. leland: okay. so there's that there. this would be the question. where do these investigations go? because christine fang operated for four years as an agent and the fbi didn't catch her. are they catching any of these people? >> oh, sure, they are. i mean, in this game of counter intelligence, often you never hear about the successful efforts because they simply swap

spies, our spies for their spies or some other remedy. but in this case, i would point out that congressman swalwell probably got an awareness briefing. not just a defensive briefing, but an awareness briefing when he first became a congressman, especially going onto the intelligence committee, telling him and informing him how the chinese will come at you, how they will try to influence and their methods of operation. leland: he said he cut off all contact with fang once that briefing took place. we appreciate your time, sir. thank you. great insight. >> thank you. gillian: the annual army, navy football game is slated to kick off just a few minutes from now. this year the game's going to look different because of the coronavirus. alex hogan is there at the game in west point. hi, alex. >> reporter: this game of course not stopping just because of the pandemic but these two teams, army, navy, they haven't played each other here in almost 80

years. we'll take a look coming up after the break. if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye?

talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

alex, thank you. a fox news alert. the president typically addresses both teams in the lockerroom ahead of the game. we're going to see if he's going to talk about this. madison, wisconsin, ap news alert, a federal judge in wisconsin on saturday rejected president trump's lawsuit seeking to overturn democrat joe biden win in the state, this is the trump's second loss in the same day in the battleground state. rudy giuliani talked about this lawsuit in wisconsin as one they were pinning their hopes on after the supreme court rejection last night. we'll get more from this ruling from the judge in madison as it happens. again, see if the president has anything to say about it during his travels. gillian. gillian: service members from all five branches of the u.s. military battled it out last night in a tournament called the code bowl. we'll tell you how that tournament is helping to raise money for unemployed veterans and who the winner was, coming up next, what's this? ah, got him. classic. your cousin. from boston.

force won? >> yes, gillian, thanks so much. great to see you. so we were all incredibly surprised. i think no one predicted that of the 8 military branches participating, so five department of defense branches and three u.k. forces, that space force, probably their first competition ever against any other service would emerge on top. it was great to see them compete. in the finals, they took the second annual championship. gillian: tell me about the funds that you guys raised, it was an extraordinary amount. and what you're going to do with it. >> we raised just under $1 million. one of the great things about the call of duty endowment is that activision blizzard, the makers of call of duty, fund all of the operating cost. every cent we raise goes into

placing bets in jobs. this was set up more than a decade ago about the co-chair and ceo of activision, blizzard, who has a vision to really want to find meaningful ways to help veterans. because of this model, we've been able to fund the placement of more than 77,000 veterans into high quality jobs, that's more vets than you could fit into dodger stadium, leaving some to go tailgate in the parking lot. gillian: quick question, dan. are you finding it -- is the endowment finding it harder to place veterans in jobs during the pandemic? is it more of a challenge? >> we've seen a 30% increase in the third quarter compared to the same time last year. so there's an enormous demand for veterans to get help finding quality jobs and that's what we're working on. in 11 years of operations, our biggest quarter -- our biggest year ever, heading towards 15,000 placements this year. gillian: dan, thank you so much
