singular i would say pecan. >> todd: i'm a pumpkin guide. it is not like in the middle of may, hey, let's go grab a pumpkin. this is the time of year for pumpkin. who doesn't love apple? i like pecan. i'm a little bit shocked that -- you are looking live at someone cutting -- no, it was not live, but georgia come i didn't know they had blueberry. >> carley: those are small pieces of pie. >> todd: georges the blueberry capital of the world. kellyanne conway was the blueberry queen of new jersey. >> carley: we have trade. there is another one top trending by state. do you want to read this one? >> todd: it involves cheese, georgia broccoli casserole, indiana -- jersey butternut squash and new york string be casserole, broccoli rice casserole in texas, and

wisconsin of course the cheese state they have cheesy potatoes. >> carley: are like that. i'm moving to wisconsin. that is the good one. i did like the video of cutting the pumpkin pie. a couple of days ago there was video, sarah of the executive producer having fun with us, we were doing a segment and a video of someone pouring mashed potatoes shrew pool and i don't know if that is me being pregnant or general enthusiastic eater in my normal life. delicious though. >> todd: you know how they have yule log on christmas morning? why don't we have this video and we will just go for the next two hours. all joking aside, on the green bean casserole front because it is a front, my wife actually made green bean casserole yesterday. >> carley: is your wife a good cook? >> todd: yes. what am i going to say no on national tv?

we are not big. we are just setting starting up but she's really getting into it. she's actually pretty good. >> carley: i made my first apple years ago and i was preparing for battle and so nervous. turkey is not that hard. >> todd: but remember, there was one key taken away. >> carley: you have to bring the turkey pure and simple politics to get to injected in thanksgiving. thanks to the white house, they are offering advice how to handle conversations with your uncle about politics today but of course, all uncles are conservative. and it is step-by-step to encourage you to argue that president biden tackling inflation is not a good start, inflation, record levels. in also provides bullets to argue that republicans are extreme here that is a list of getting a lot of criticism from republicans. congress ralph norman using

talking points as to the realities of the administration. it seems like a miserable way to spend thanksgiving. i think he's thought about that. >> todd: highlights the number one think the left loves to do which is make everything literally, everything, but also holiday like thanksgiving. notice how they begin with the assumption, carley that your uncle is wrong and they are correct because they are the democrats and they are always right. and it goes to the notion the left when it comes from your uncle who may or may not be concerned. >> carley: talk about politics this thanksgiving and there's also that. and the conservative talking points may not be coming from your uncle this thanksgiving but more like your left-handed grandmother. and also, i thought this was interesting, so, it talks about how president biden worked with

republicans to make more in america bypassing the chips and science act brought together republicans and democrats to pass the first meaningful gun legislation. and so he's trying to sound bipartisan and the last talking point meanwhile republicans in congress are extreme. >> todd: by the way, when i am in congress i will pass the chips and salsa act. >> ca one of the thing, look, hw many jobs we created. let's back up the turkey trot, if you will. you are not creating jobs in the job search is coming back because all of those democrat lockdowns and draconian blue policies and blue cities went away because you lifted them peer of the jobs themselves, the restaurant jobs in particular all came back. that is not creating jobs but ending your stupidity and the jobs coming back because that is capitalism.

>> carley: despite global challenges, we are making progress on another bullet point president biden want to bring up your conservative uncle to big pharma. my favorite one is tackling inflation and costs. you start with that. >> todd: they tackle it like the giants. not wealth. congressman james comber, mike huckabee to talk about this with us and great to have them with us. >> carley: there is also this, the biden dhs pushing back house minority leader kevin mccarthy demand for secretary ella hunter may work is to resign with possible impeachment. >> todd: doug luzader in washington with the latest, doug. >> todd, carley good morning, alejandro mayorkas is not going anywhere. the embattled secretary staying put despite a call for his resignation. here is the statement is department just issued. secretary mayorkas is proud to advance the noble mission of this department here in support

with extraordinary workforce and serve the american people. the department will continue our work to enforce the laws to secure the border while building a safe, orderly and humane immigration system. that comes after california congressman kevin mccarthy who looks to become the next speaker the house travel to the southern border and called for secretary mayorkas to step down her face investigations next year, perhaps even an impeachment. >> our country may never recover from secretary mayorkas' dereliction of duty. this is why today, i am calling the secretary to resign. >> the numbers at the border in the meantime pretty daunting since the beginning of october more than 130,000 cutaways and 350,000 encounters and 350 deaths at the border. and as americans hit the road and the skies over this long holiday weekend in huge numbers,

disturbing news about air security and the head of the air marshall national council wrote in "the hill" the air marshals to the border with a huge influx of immigrants there. he says that as left high-risk flights uncovered, taught and carley. >> todd: doug luzader, happy thanksgiving to you sir, enjoy it to you and your spirit the national border patrol, brandon judd joining us next door to react. >> carley: cory mills, army combat veteran and dod advisor on president trump. corey, happy thanksgiving. so dhs think we can do better than point the finger at someone else for the problems at the southern border but also calling mccarthy's plan to hold hearings at the borders a stunt. what say you to that? >> it is funny at any point in time to hold people accountable and having people do their jobs

as a stunt. the reality secretary mayorkas has tried to say under oath during the congressional committee that we don't have an open border. meanwhile when you look at the actual numbers, that tells a different story. we have millions who come across last year 90 weeks of suspected terrorists and apprehended but god knows how many actually got through. you talk about the program and trying to get rid of title 42 in order to make a run. so i stand by representative governor mccarthy on the fact that we need the committee to impeach secretary mayorkas or resign in which case to answer the questions why the dereliction of dirty. >> todd: you can do better than to point the finger but what does that mean? it week response for rest of factual basis. it was like, please don't look at us even though we messed it up. in the meantime president biden

has called for restrictions on guns after a man killed himself with a pistol at walmart. jill and i grieve for the chesapeake community and all those across america who have lost loved ones to tragic shootings. they must come together as a nation to stand against this. a generation but not nearly enough. we must take greater action. your reaction to the timing and the content of that statement, congressman elect. >> you know, i will say it like this, todd we have an entire agency of the dea with extreme laws when it comes to illegal drugs. and the impact of that has been, it hasn't slowed down or stopped. when it comes to the impact of gun control trying to deny to deny law-abiding citizens their right of protection, i think it is an error. i think this whole point is instead of looking at the real root cause like mental illness and try to get better mental health programs in place and looking at things like why

criminals and blue states more than red states and how it's impacting instead of hearing how many people stop criminal activities as a result of lawful gun owners, they want to vilify the actual gun owner himself. we have seen this in australia and other areas were tight gun laws and its vehicles. the whole point we are not addressing the whole because spirit society, and soft-on-crime policies, catch and release policies and the idea of no bail reform and no accountability held for their actions. we are not addressing the root cause and other things. but instead vilify peoples rights to to actually armed themselves. >> carley: cory, i'm sure you have a lot but what are you thankful for this thanksgiving? >> i'm thankful for so much. certainly the constituents of florida seventh district to interest me to represent them in the house of congress pure and

i'm always thankful for my wife and son and everything they have done for me. and also the uncle shimming by the white house, we are not happy with the nation but now at the dinner table. but pretty cool uncle actually. i'm just so thankful to those men and women in blue who continue to serve and keep our streets safe. are women and men in military who continue to be ready to fight to the constitutional rights. we live in the greatest nation on earth and so much to be thankful for. thank you to senator elizabeth warren because 1,024th -- native american. >> todd: we were showing you pictures of your family. >> carley: your son is so handsome. i've never seen pictures. >> thank you so much, he is. >> carley: how old is he? >> my youngest son is seven and he will turn 18 in march. >> carley: i here it goes fast. >> it does. enjoy the babyface. that goes quick, you hold them in your arms and then you can

barely pick them up. >> carley: one of my coworkers he text me yesterday and said this will be the last thanksgiving without your little boy. i hadn't really thought about that. it seemed obvious but it was a cute text. it's all about family, cory, we are so happy and thankful to see yours and celebrate a little sliver of thanksgiving. >> todd: we have thankful you have defended our great nation. i say that every time you visit and maybe never forget. cory mills, thank you, sir. >> carley: thank you. turning now to retail executives sounding the alarm on the uptick ahead of the holiday shopping. according to the national retail federation, losses from theft increased 4% last year leaving companies out of $94.5 billion and the federation also finding organized retail crime is up

26%, even worse, 81% of stores reporting an increase in violence and a rush during these types of robberies. the police to work through thanksgiving to find out who murdered four university of idaho students. >> todd: the investigation facing a ton of backlash with one expert giving a police a failing grade. ashley strohmier with moore, ashley. >> the authorities are not saying why the four students were targeted but told the press to trust them. listen to this. >> we don't want to put our investigation in jeopardy by releasing what we have. we told the public very clearly from the beginning we are looking for a knife. we told the public very clearly from the beginning we thought it was a target of the text. you have to trust us at this point because we will not release what we think that. >> todd: to mike >> carley: some experts questioning the move made by authorities in the case including releasing too much information to the public. one retired nypd, "the initial

statement was a big misstep and they don't have identified suspect and they still don't have a motive so until you have those two extremely vital pieces, you can't set the public's mind at ease." and the investigators prepared to work through thanksgiving, it could hamper the investigation for their pure fbi agency says "this would mask the offender and also mean witnesses who saw something relevant are also gone. it seems like a targeted event. i think it was building up in him for a while and he lashed out." this has former task said they are just chasing a ghost. the law enforcement is on a fishing expedition chasing a ghost. but it's all about collection right now. human intelligence, crime scene is important and a methodical job the suspect and got into the house knowing they were probably

asleep. it will be important to identify who that was and work your way backwards. >> carley: as we do approach the 11th day since the murders, there is still no motive, no weapon, no person in this case, guys, b back to you. >> todd: tell folks especially the families, ashley, thank you. political divisions running and i with georgia voters heading back to the polls for a special election between senate candidates raphael warnock and herschel walker. >> carley: we are talking how we can come to grips with this thanksgiving and respect each person's views at the dinner table with pastor robert next.

♪ ♪ speed to some midterm elections to get to peer at the georgia supreme court in favor of early voting this saturday. the state senate runoff rates between democrat incumbent raphael warnock and republican challenger herschel walker. this comes despite peach state division with voting on saturday after it fell holiday. very specific rules and the runoff with leader candidate reaching the majority vote during november eights midterm

elections. election day is december 6, just a few weeks. >> todd: herschel walker says he plans to win the runoff. speak with if i get out and let them know my message, right now people need to know this is to bury herschel walker and senator raphael warnock because he's done nothing for the state of georgia. i'm here to get my hands dirty. i signed a paycheck and people talk about my football career. let's talk about my business. i created a business, a very successful business and he simpered on that. all he's done is become a slumlord in an apartment building that he took advantage of disadvantaged people. that is what they want to do. he is a man on a cold but he's not living there. he said he was. >> todd: as georgia determines the balance of power in the senate division, running high across the country with fiercely partisan season. how can families put politics aside and come together this thanksgiving? >> carley: let's ask roberts

senior pastor baptist church and fox news contributor. pastor, thank you, happy thanksgiving. it does seem like we are in divided times but they were american people are sick of political division. >> they are. look, that is one thing we took away from this last election how divided our country is. so many of these elections came within a percentage point or half a percentage point. america is divided. i've heard people say we've not been this divided since the civil war. but it is interesting in the middle of the civil war, 1863 the president lincoln issued the first thanksgiving day proclamation for the holiday as we know it and he said there is something positive were healing about giving thanks to god for a nation that is sharply divided. by the way, make note of that proclamation that thanksgiving is not about giving things to

ourselves or to other people like joe biden for his accomplishments but giving thanks to the god who made us and who has blessed us. >> todd: what should we expect in 2023 and beyond when it comes to religious role in politics? much of the same or something different? >> >> i think faith will always be a key issue and it wasn't the last election the issue of abortions. both sides can see that was a major issue. the conventional wisdom is that the overturn of roe was a drag on the republican vote. i would argue the opposite that it energize conservative christians to get out and push back against the vocation for a row. the republicans would have done worse if it had not been for conservative christians. >> carley: i love how you say people feel like we've never been more divided than civil war and that is when abraham lincoln declared the first thanksgiving. for him back then, it was the

holiday based and pounded on prayer. >> it was. this was a very religious holiday if you read what lincoln said. in first thessalonians five: eight be thankful in all things. that does not mean there are something good about everything that happens. maybe your candidate didn't win but you can thank god you live in a country where you can vote. maybe inflation is out of control but most people watching know where they are next milk is coming from and we can be thankful for that. we are horrified weapon in colorado and virginia with a mass shootings, but we can be thankful those events are the exception and not the rule which is why they make the news. we can be thankful for law enforcement that protects us. thanksgiving is not about the nihilism but realistically identifying and thanking god for the good things in our life. >> todd: you covered a lot of ground but in addition you have

a thanksgiving message and what is that? >> that is my thanksgiving message is to spend some time today thanking not the error but thank god for the good things he's done. and some of the viewers may be saying right now, well, i don't feel thankful. here is a great thing, if you want to feel thankful act thankful. when we act right under the right thing, we began to feel the right thing. after all, there is a reason today is not called thanks feeling but thanksgiving. >> carley: pastor, we love to have you on days like today when it gets down there back to the basic faith, family, friends and all the important things that should matter to us all and do. we love to have you on this day and every day. thank you so much. >> todd: thank you, pastor. >> great to be with you all. happy thanksgiving. >> carley: happy thanksgiving. trying to erase history wasn't enough but now the left wants to

cancel thanksgiving. they do every year. we want the holiday with historical inaccuracies built on this myth the indigenous welcome colonized with open open arms. >> carley: we see what buddy carter has to say about that later in the show and james comer to talk about that list the white house want you to raise at the top of your conservative uncle at the thanksgiving day dinner table. >> todd: we need answers. ♪ ♪

bright, congressman, what do you think of the list? >> well, i would like to see them play that all my uncles here at my uncles are pretty involved and complained about how much it cost to drive down here and secondly, they will go into great detail about what the white house can do with their woke gives him an electric vehicles. i don't think they will find many uncles in america who were very pleased with the policies of the biden white house and there and talking points won't go very far, unfortunately. >> todd: congressman why does everything even thanksgiving need to be political to the left? can't we just have one day or maybe a holiday season and that may be asking too much where we let everything bygones be icons and enjoy friends and family? >> you know, i've noticed from my years in congress watching the left their business model revolves around keeping everyone outraged and keeping everyone mad and angry.

thanksgiving is a day to reflect and be thankful, but the democrats don't like that here they want everyone to be upset and outraged and they want to try to blame their outrage on the right on the republican party. it is unfortunate. that is a big reason we are divided in america. >> carley: congressman, wanted to ask about that how divided is washington really? when in congress is it less partisan than people might think? >> i would love to say yes, but i believe unfortunately it's getting more partisan. and in reality q do need so many members of congress very conservative districts are very liberal districts. you need some in the middle. we keep losing the moderates in congress. the way the senate is set up as you all have talked about many times on your show it takes 60 votes to get through the senate so whether herschel walker wins or loses, it is difficult to get

the conservative legislation and the majority of the house, it will be difficult to get it through the senate. that makes everyone angry because we want to get things in. everyone coastal congress whether liberal or conservative and sincerely want to pass legislation you believe will benefit your district. it is very difficult because 435 vastly different districts. we have different ideologies but unfortunately because of the 24-hour news cycle and the heated campaigns and all of the money and the negativity in the campaigns, people come to congress already upset on day one. so i hope we can be, get along better, but i'm not optimistic about it. >> todd: in the meantime gas prices at the highest level ever recorded by aaa but americans are still hitting the road. $3.58 the average, $2.50 this time last year. prices are high but people are

saying prices be darned. >> you know we have high energy prices because of the bad policies of the biden administration. this is something they can take credit for. they have completely altered the trump energy independent and exporting energy because of prenew deal policies that they've tried to implement through executive order. now we have a record high energy prices and unfortunately, probably only to get higher. we have to as a republican majority in january trying to figure out a way to get this energy policy in this administration to look more like it did in the previous administration because we will not lower inflation, which is a priority as republicans. if we don't change with the american energy policy. speed when you know what i'm thankful for much like vanna white on wheel of a fortune. never repeats the background of
