11:04 pm
talking to. >> just days before biden's press secretary said the opposite. >> the president is indeed involved directly. but i do not want to get into details at this time but he has been involved. i just said the president has been directly involved. he has been in touch. >> is a third time i'm saying he's been directly involved. >> is not just trains the ground to a halt but amazon packages as well. for thousands of amazon workers around the world, walked out on the job. that's 1 of the busiest shopping days of the year citing low pay and poor working conditions. protesters also take into the streets in china, rejecting what they call lockdowns under china's oppressive coveted 0 policy. the bounce extends to what is known as iphone city after 200,000 workers were forced into isolation and trash built dorms. >> yesterday as treasury secretary announced they would allow chevron to include in venezuela an apparent bid to

11:06 pm
right here in america to get the job done for quick staying with the economy, we are facing a possible nationwide rail strike. it would disrupt the supply chain and cost $2 billion a day, 700,000 jobs if it lasts a mon month. gas prices would go up. this is a big problem for the president. this congress need to step in? >> well, that would be the last resort, jennifer. we are set to leave congress on december 15. the cooling off of. for this negotiation is set to end a few days before christmas. the union members have lasted by the way paid their benefits have not been on power. that is the transit freight workers union have not been on par with other unions and have not had a raise in several yea years. one third of the products, jennifer, in the united states is transported by freight rail
11:07 pm
including close to 70% of our agricultural grains, fees, fertilizer and the like. so congressional intervention is the last resort but i suspect after we passed the cr near december 15, at that strike is not meant averted will be called back for christmas. >> would he think the truth is? is the present involved in these negotiations are they waiting until the last minute like they did in september? >> i believe he is involved. this is something that would be of significant concern economic concern and therefore political concern for the administration. i'm sure they are involved. they are probably waiting until the right time to reengage. will be a few days before christmas before this actually manifests. but congress will not let the strike happened, that is for sure pretty devastating to our economy. we will get to a resolution 1 way or another pre- >> republicans will support the president he agrees with the railroad workers?
11:08 pm
>> well i certainly would put every member of congress is not to speak for themselves but failure is not an option here. we cannot have our transportation system responsible for 1 third of our products being transported throughout our country shut down the side and option. jennifer: congressman fitzpatrick. there've been 600 mass shootings this year the president said he will pursue an assault rifle man, we work with him? >> we all need to work together to end gun violence in america. the reality is we have an epidemic here in the united states it's not being experienced in any other country in the world. there is a lot of reasons for that party think people try to oversimplify the problem. the key is to make sure every single tragedy gets unpacked and figure out what the problem is with that individual tragedy. i know we have had an issue with the background check system,
11:09 pm
with charleston. we had a problem with mental health system. there are societal problems as well. spikes in and society rates among our children throughout america. largely due to social media. jennifer, when you and i grew up but there is bullying going on in school, you could identify the bully her number 1. number 2 the bullying ended at 3:00 p.m. when you left school. notable leaders are anonymous for social media allows that to occur 24 hours a day. we have to fix the loopholes in our background so we have to fix our broken mental health system in america. we have to deal the societal impact of social media parts of a collocated problem that requires a comp okayed a solution. jennifer: would you support an assault rifle man? >> well i voted for, jennifer. his arctic come off several weeks back. that sitting in the senate that's where it resides right now. >> there is talk of more red flag laws which allow authorities to temporarily comp escape firearms if the person is a threat to themselves or othe

11:14 pm
jennifer: the white house on the series empath with organized labor is a national rail strike looms but it could hit americans and disrupt supply chains right in the middle of the holiday season. and it is time now for our sunday group politico congressional reporter, olivia beaver's retired senior cia station chief and fox news contributor, dan hoffman. fox news political analysis juan williams. x use national political correspondent jonathan swan. juan, normally friendly to present by the democrats but the risk of 8 nation wide rail strike is now very real and could impact from everything that was sound grocery store shelves to prices at the pump, to supplies that keep our water saved the president helped avert the crisis back in september but the tentative deal runs out on december 9 but is it time for the president to step in to the negotiations? time is running out it seems.
11:15 pm
>> i think what you have and now is a labor secretariat marty walsh, transportation secretary pete buttigieg in touch with both sides. the president's approach is i am going to try to ameliorate potential impact on american families in the economy for now. and so he is saving his intervention. another reason for that, it is very interesting. the unions don't want the congress and the president to intervene. ninety-two, less and there was a strike. the strike was over in 2 days because congress and the president intervened. suffern out both sides really want the pressure, the deadline drama. they think it helps them at the bargaining table. the railroad companies in this country are very profitable operations. in the september deal they gave a 24% over 5 year deal increase in pay, to the unions. and they think that is a generous offer. the unions on the other hand, the trainmen, the engineers have approved that deal. but the other union say no, why?
11:16 pm
because of benefits. you just talked about this with congressman fitzpatrick. the bigger railroad companies have not approved 6 days. they state wheat 15 sick days this job is too demanding and we need some flexibility in terms of shifts. and so right now the big companies have refused to reopen the talk about benefits. the union say unless you do that we don't have a deal. so the deadline pressure is something of both the side as helping to force a deal. jennifer: what do you think they'll get a deal? >> it is inevitable. it's not going to cancel christmas thank goodness. the supplies are on the shelves. this is something that could impact the entire nation's economy and you cannot have that. jennifer: jonathan, now to donald trump in his third run for the white house. are you surprised by the number of prominent republicans have come out against tromped even his attorney general bill barth rights trampled burn down the gop, time for new leadership.
11:17 pm
what is the reaction from trump advisors to his a dining with white nationalist at mar-a-lago last week? >> there actually have not been that many who have come out against tromped. bill barr is already condemned trump before this. you say chris christie he is pretty vocal. even if you look at people like mike pompeo, terms former secretary of state he's criticizing trump without naming trump which tells me and pence is being kind and gentle as well but which tells me there is still a fear among republicans. even those who want to oppose and potentially in 2024 that trump still commands a serious, meaningful proportion of the base and they do want to cross them yet. desantis for example is been completely silent. to your question, 1 of the most vera lent anti- semites and open
11:18 pm
racists holocaust denier, you just go through his clips it's kind of staggering to listen too. trumps advisors most of his core team right now charlottesville, access hollywood, go through the list. this is sort of another day in the life of it. they don't run around laying their hair on fire they're all freaking out. that has not been my experience of the last 2 days of talking to them through these are people's just another day at the office actually. and 1 person said to me, i saw someone else sort of tweeted this but basically their take was, the republican officially he invites 1 notorious anti- semite to dinner, kanye west and he shows up with another anti-semites. so the surprise with there are 2 rather than 1. jennifer: it's a doubling.
11:19 pm
that should be cause concern for concern? olivia early voting is underway and parts of georgia there's obviously a december 6 runoff between democratic senator raphael warnock and republican herschel walker. it will decide whether democrats have 50 or 51 seats, what are you seeing? >> or another poll suggests it's just as close as it was when we were watching earlier during the midterms. there are 35000 votes that separated warnock and walker. right now warnock seems to have the edge but give or take a margin of error. abortion seemed to play a pretty large role that motivated democrats turning out. now it's early voting. it is sort of an area where democrats are really pushing that space. we are going to see how this plays out. jennifer: is interesting you should mention that georgia supreme court reinstated the state's ban on abortions after roughly 6 weeks. do you think abortion will continue to play an issue down there? >> i'm sure that's going to definitely be motivating people. there's more support for
11:20 pm
something like a 15 week band but democrats are saying this was a bigger issue and the polling the exit poll seems to suggest more so. >> dan, as we speak, nato ally turkey is planning to carry out a ground invasion into sierra. they're targeting the very kurdish groups that the u.s. relies on to fight isis. i spoke to the head of the sdf, the kurdish leader who said he had put a pause in working with the u.s. regarding 10,000 isis prisoners, here's what he said just earlier this week. >> all of our forces have to be on the borders and the front lines thinking about protecting our people. so we have to stop activities third we had no choice. jennifer: what is this mean for that reason and that u.s. troops to base at this about a thousand troops there progressive turkish incursion would be a negative impact on our ongoing fight
11:21 pm
against crisis burisma allied with the searing democratic forces, the kurds going back on was a decade to 2014. they are also guarding the whole refugee camp with their tens of thousands of terrorists for this amply can't do it all at once. i expect to their ongoing back channel discussions with turkey. turkey has a lot of leverage because they controlled newton nato membership for finland and sweden. and i am sure were making the point that of a turkish attack on these kurds would impact turkey as well print because a terrorist would have a lot of open field running potential back into turkey. >> but a big issue for the president, 1 of the many national security threats that he is facing right now. thank you very much panel. up next, during 1 of the most divisive times in world history, 2 world war ii marine regiments came together for a game of football before being sent to 1 of the bloodiest battles in the pacific. we sit down with author buzz and friday night lights fame to share the story of the mosquito bowl and what happened next.
11:22 pm
11:23 pm
11:24 pm
11:25 pm
jennifer: the winter of 1944 was a different for many americans. world war ii was raging across europe and in the south pacific. millions of servicemen spent the season and unfamiliar lands but many spent time station on the island of guadalcanal once a
11:26 pm
stronghold for the japanese army, conquered by u.s. forces and used as a staging point for future offensives. but on christmas eve conflicts east for a moment, the marines mark the holiday by playing in "the mosquito bowl" a bruising and bloodied football game born from trash talk and intense rivalry between 2 different marine regiments. the teams or stock of 4 college players including several all-americans, 16 players were even drafted into the process. six months later those who played in the game also fought in the battle of okinawa once the bloodiest of the war. the story of the game and the events that followed are detailed in "the mosquito bowl" a game of life and death in world war ii. the newly released book is dedicated to neil mccallum a marine who was on the sidelines of the dirt and coral field. >> i was a participant there at that game. >> 94-year-old mccallum spoke with me from his home in tampa, florida.
11:27 pm
>> the war in europe got more attention than we did. they got more of everything than we did. my only aim in all of this is to keep our legacy going for the sixth of marine division and all the men we lost for. >> are naming out the author of "the mosquito bowl", pulitzer prize-winning journalist john white at best known his nonfiction account friday night lights. buzz this is a great book. great book. americans are preparing to watch a lot of football today. why did you choose to write about this particular game? >> when i heard about it i was floored the idea of a football game on the island of guadalcanal in the pacific of christmas eve of 1940 4a real game close as they could get. the pa system, programs this is 1500 marines came.
11:28 pm
i realize they were not men they were boys. their young inexperienced or you lose your boyhood very quickly of the game was away of being boys again and the upshot was they had a blast 65 you played in that game, 15 were later killed several months later i think it's a book if i can get at the reporting. yet more. jennifer: it was more than a name 65 marines suited up. is broadcast on armed forces network across the pacific. there 1500 marines on the sideline. they took a break from training. half of them would not survive for that kind of statistic we cannot really fathom. what happened during the game and why it wasn't marines who were doing this in so many college players. think is a must college athletes or athletes to ever die in a
11:29 pm
battle. >> football players gravitated toward the marine corps. which makes sense. they are macho, they are tough, they wanted combat. a lot of these guys are in the fourth regiment they were great football players they would argue with 1 another who has the better team. they are marines we argue we do get out. the game was a way to have joy, they beat the crab out of each of the score 00. as they say it was a way to be boys for the last time. >> which players stood out to you? >> there are several. david schreiner i felt was amazing he was a two-time all-american is a perfect all-american. he was kind to self-effacing he does not like publicity. great, great man he had a beautiful fiancée. i won't say what happened maybe you can guess of.
11:30 pm
john mick lowery went to brown got to me. a really cerebral interesting intellectual man, great football player. and a great illustrator the inside cover of the book is something he did when he was in the jungle of bucca. >> there is a picture a family photo from thanksgiving before david schreiner deployed and we have that photo. the u.s. military was very different then and so was college football. >> college football was the thing. the pros were looked down upon. that's where the thugs go there's no future in it. college football was huge that was the game. notre dame, army, notre dame, usc. if you are college football star which many of these guys were, those are really, really big deal but combat was different. it was expected. some of you, you're not going to
11:31 pm
make it you're just not going to make it too. >> a military recruiter from football teams for the thought football teams would make good soldiers and marines. many of these young man were graduating like 2% of the college graduates believe that should join the allies. america was pretty isolationist but not these players. >> 1940 america was isolation isolationist. they're upset with the british and i just want no part they would send a davidson financial aid americas wanted no part really until the bombing of pearl harbor. that changed everything and these guys said i want a piece of that. schreiner could've had a cushy job in the united states for decoded benefits at instruction he said no, i want to go into combat. jennifer: finally was a message
11:32 pm
from this game regarding the divisions on that we see in america today. >> or the underlying messages is unity. everybody served women served, and industry and manufacturing because all of the men were gone. blacks serve despite some weathering races on the line. you had people from every socioeconomic stripe. that is when you learn to deal with people to get along with people, to love people because they did. our differences are really not that different. >> incredible story i highly recommend it, buzz thank you for an amazing american story. joining us this holiday weekend. this thanksgiving week i want to share with you another powerful example of americans coming together even during 1 of the most unpopular wars in the nation's history, the vietnam war. americans have found common ground. this is a story of 1 of our colleagues here at fox who wore a bracelet bearing the name of
11:33 pm
an american soldier held captive in vietnam. decades later he tracked down the veteran, here's their story. >> 's war raged in vietnam a quiet effort started by 2 california sorority sisters to show support for the pow and mias were shot down a rice paddy feels many took off across america but students across america began wearing bracelets with the name of an american pow and the date they were shot down. stars like john wayne, princess grace, and sunny and cher wore them. brad paxton was 1 of those kids who sent his $2.50 a way to purchase a bracelet. >> 's is actually a photo of me wearing the bracelet. i had lots of hair back then. >> 1970 per chris's honor david carey, shot down in north vietnam on august 31 , 67 brick. >> i was just a fan at the time.
11:34 pm
i would say 50% of my junior high school was wearing the bracelets you did not have to be for the war or against the war. you could just be in support of these people who had been captured for quick spurred by a conversation with this wife about the bracelets and how they united the country during a divisive war but he decided to try to find lieutenant dave carey. >> i went down and pulled out a box and you're where it was, looked it up on like a lightning bolt i should see whatever happens to this guy. >> accounting in texas 80 years old and now an author and motivational speaker. kerry spent 5 and half years in the hanoi hilton some of it with john mccain who was shot down a month and a half after him. >> i sent him an e-mail and a picture of the bracelet in to my surprise within minutes he e-mailed it right back and said i would love to have it. >> i'm getting those periodically for all of these years. someone will find me on the internet i will get an e-mail and they have a bracelet that
11:35 pm
they have worn. and then i tell them they have no idea how much those bracelets meant with us when we were in hanoi this bracelets were incredibly important they lifted our morale. recent missile went right between us. there's a huge explosion for the fireball this thing is falling and tumbling to the sky ejected from the airplane had a parachute, landed in the middle of a small village because he still members the beatings. >> i was interrogated, the interrogations led to beating, the beatings lead to torture but my arms didn't work that didn't work for weeks and weeks. i ate by wiggling around my >>, stick my face in a bowl of rice. the first line of the 23rd psalm the lord is my shepherd. i could think about that line but. >> they found other tricks to keep their minds intact.
11:36 pm
the naval academy media became the french teacher philosophy had to make out. meanwhile back in california and the woman who started the bracelet movement, carol bates of brown was a student at cal state northridge. she and a girlfriend came up with mia pow bracelet concept. >> we were able to get materials and donated and somebody come up with the idea of putting names on the bracelets. and when it really took off like it did, it was just shocking and unbelievable. i think we distribute something like 5 million bracelets during that time too. >> they were especially popular from 1970 to 1973. >> i decided my kids could pay for movie they could pay for bracelet. >> the campaign as a decades long career with the pentagon for brown of the defense intelligence agency in the office of pow missing personnel. >> 55 years later dave carey still has a flag airman carried
11:37 pm
in their flight suits in case they had to eject. >> isn't of the united states of america i do not speak your language or please take me too someone who will provide for my safety and i returned to my people my government will reward you begrudgingly heard kids back home are wearing bracelets with their names on them that gave them hope they had not been forgotten. >> we kept our sense of humor we kept the faith. faith in ourselves, faith in ourselves and faith in god but. >> always knew where the bracelet was i never forgot his name even 50 years later but i can tell you about lieutenant david carey. he is a genuine american hero. i am just humbled to have a small footnote in his story too. >> while in captivity 1 of the ways this naval aviator kept saying was by pretending to play the piano. after his release he finally learned to play on a real piano. today he still receives mail from kids and now grown on the

11:44 pm
continues to grow north korea only the third adversary other than russia and china they can threaten nuclear war against the united states this is a serious challenge. >> how should the missile tests from north korea. they see it as a difficult challenge they prioritize russia china and other issues think the right approach is basically a pressure and engagement campaign, increase the diplomatic economic political pressure on north korea but hold out the possibility for engagement and negotiations if kim jong un is willing to come talk too. >> what's a state of nuclear arsenal. can it serve as a deterrent? >> the u.s. arsenals effective today it's getting old is the 70s and 80s as a bipartisan plan for the coming 30 years
11:45 pm
make sure we have a deterrent to protect ourselves and allies. jennifer: it demetri, what is president taking from and westward to make of the shanghai protest? some have called for presents you to resign which is unprecedented. >> the main lesson key is learning of courses if you are going to get to go against taiwan which i think he wants to do in his lifetime probably the next 10 years or even sooner you better be ready. you better make sure your forces are ready, they are training and execute the mission and do it quickly from his perspective. the other lesson he may be learning it may be the incorrect lesson is nice as could be deterred via the use of nuclear weapons or the threat of nuclear weapons because he sees that we always supported ukraine not gone in and help them with our own troops. that lesson may not apply to taiwan, that may be what he is inferring. the protesting is interesting for the first time president xi is really losing control over the 0 covid policy they found
11:46 pm
the last couple of years the cases are increasing dramatically. there are thousands of new cases day in beijing if we can believe their numbers are probably a lot higher. on the population is fed up here they are not willing continue to live in lockdowns. and that is going to be very precarious or present she going forward also in taiwan approached china 1 municipal elections what does this tell you? >> this election was a municipal election it was not about china. the fact the population is willing to ignore the chinese threat and vote for a party that's very friendly to the beijing government is an indication the taiwanese are just not prioritizing the threat they don't believe it's really don't think innovation is coming. that has real implications for u.s. policy but if taiwan does not shape up. if they do not dramatically increase their transcription, their treaty, their military-industrial complex to integrate them into their forces taiwan is going to be in real trouble. despite what president biden says about us willing to come to their aid of the taiwanese do
11:47 pm
not fight, time one's going to be doomed. jennifer: they have not been buying the right type of weapons from what i'm understanding. >> they are focused on old-style weapons it may not be applicable to war with the chinese luncheon airborne division for example. fox matthew, the practice in iran is a surreal threat to the regime question actually by administration be sink more innocent nuclear deal dead? what you really have to admire the young women in my ron risking their lives standing up just brutal dictatorship. you think the bite administration should be doing more to support them both verbally and behind the scenes. unfortunately the sad reality when we have seen this before is that the regime is willing to kill in large numbers to stay in power for the iranians have not been willing to die in large enough numbers to take power do fear that may be the ultimate outcome here. on the nuclear deal, the international atomic energy agency agency reported earlier this month my iran is now enriching 60% enriched uranium, a hair's breath from a weapons

grade at their underground facility. outside experts estimate the time it would take iran to -- and build nuclear weapons are shrunk almost to 0. i do fear the game is almost over here in the bipartisan effort to stop iran from building nuclear weapons may have failed. >> demetri you were sanctioned by coach and recently today ukraine is marking 90 years since stone imposed a famine that killed 2 to 3 million ukrainians. what more should the biden administration doing? are you concerned house republicans are going to cut off aid to ukraine? >> i do not think the military aid is going to get there to get ammunitions are going to keep fighting they understand this is an existential struggle for that country. the real problem we face right now as we are running low on a lot of munitions, the editorially, missions, and traveling missiles they use for antitank strikes. we need to be massively ramping up our production we need to be building the factories and the reality is these wars with the
11:49 pm
european competitors like russia and last a long time. we will run out of things very, very quickly per. >> demetri a lot of people mistake he moved by the biden administration regarding export controls and china's chp industry. what is the significance? >> massive declaration of a trade war against china. basically constrained their ability which is necessary for weapons systems. necessary for advanced manufacturing and advanced electronics. this is something the chinese are going to struggle a lot with her they've not been able to achieve independent production. this will really impact significantly. >> matthew com before we go what should we expect from the u.s. iran world cup match on tuesday? we have seen protest loosing the players and not sing the anthem and then singing the anthem. tears in the stadium who's going to and what is the significance? >> you do have to sympathize with the iranian players another
