what do they have to look at twitter about? i think they should stop picking on elon musk. >> brooke: reports indicate apple ceo tim cook will meet with lawmakers on the house judiciary and commerce committees. cook is hoping to make endr50d with republicans, as they are poised to take control of the house in january. elon musk claims apple is threatening to pull twitter off the app store if it doesn't follow apple content moderation demand. florida governor ron desantis says if this happens congress must step in. >> they are trying to get elon musk twitter off the app store, which would be a huge blow for free speech thchl is ib mathe most powerful company in the entire world, they exercise more authority in some respects than some governments do. >> brooke: musk and 80% of those responding to his poll calling for apple to publish and hoping

>> my approach to building t th /* economy of the future is working. you see big projects in your

hometown, cranes going up, i want you to feel the way i feel, pride. >> carley: president biden telling americans to take pride and making no mention in the ways he's made it worse. brian brenberg, with the king's college in manhattan, brian, he wants americans to take pride in the economy, should we >> brian: he is talking about taking pride and people who aren't there on the stage are saying, take pride in the fact i have the highest inflation in 40 years and it's still high and this economy looks like it is tipping into recession and you're out there telling me to be happy about that? it is insulting to people and this economy is limping along and now we're talking about a potential rail strike here, woo

start to layer things on top of each other, it makes no sense the president it doing this. >> carley: i love you brought up the rail strike, the president asked congress to step in to pass legislation to prevent the strike from taking place. listen to the president. >> president biden: congress has to act to prevent it, the economy is at risk. >> are you confident you can avoid a rail strike? >> carley: that's a big moment, big statement from the president who is union joe. the reason he wants this rail strike to not take place is because $2 billion could be lost per day, 700,000 jobs, do you think congress will be successful avoiding the strike? >> brian: you have a congress divided, key players saying they might not support this. it would be devastating to the

economy, to the commercial economy, to people who want to travel, you have products that could be sitting on railway cars that are perishable and chemicals that can't sit on railway cars. businesses have to adapt to that. supply chain problems would be worse if we got this and the union president will give us the worse union chaos we've seen in decades. >> carley: that is ironic, we spoke to a leader in the retail and trucking industry earlier in the show and here is what they had to say, watch this. >> the fact is we need each other, trains have to have trucks, trucks take two and away practical all they haul and without trains, trucking is struggling, as it is, trying to meet current demand. >> things are always in transit and parcel carriers are heavy

users of rail, people buying christmas gifts could see those stall. >> carley: something they both said and you said in the past, even threat of the strike, which is upon haing now, impacts the supply chain. >> brian: yeah, if you are a business, you have to look ahead to the future, they don't know congress is going to solve this, congress doesn't know if they are going to solve it. talk about trucks picking up the slack, the biden economy, you can't find truck drivers to pick up the slack. you see all these pieces, they don't fit together. you have the president in michigan bragging about the economy and people say, the puzzle doesn't fit and you are telling me to be proud of it? the president biden doesn't get what he talks about in the white house doesn't transzalate into reality for people. >> carley: in michigan, he was cozying up to rail unions, they are furious with him across the

country. he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. do you think all of this is his fault? some republicans are pinning it on him for not being able to get the deal done, is it more complicated than that? what do you think? >> brian: it is always more complicated at one level, he claimed to the union president, when you take that mantel on, you have to deal with the blame. he's got administration full of people who have zero business experience and moments like this that really shows to detriment of america, they don't understand how an economy works, this is not an economy to brag about, everybody is bracing to see which shoe drops next. >> carley: kevin mccarthy says he thinks the bill will pass to stop the strike. lisa mcclain, said, i haven't seen it yet. it will be an interesting day.

>> brian: could be a close call and businesses are waiting and concerned. >> carley: thank you for joining us, todd, to you. >> todd: georgia set a -- in the voting runoff and president biden is steering clear, we break down the state of the race next. >> he voted against keystone pipeline, voted for open border and crime in the streets, we i'm jonathan lawson and crime in the streets, we can't have six more

up her book tour and we have barack obama coming on thursday, december 1, michelle will be here on the second and third and i wouldn't be surprised to see barack obama show up at a book tour and encourage more people to come out and vote. i'm watching her, it is interesting they are not talking about her being in georgia, particularly in atlanta for two days prior to thisun areoff election, it feels like they are keeping her under radar, not speculating, but something is upon haing there. >> todd: republicans need to hit the message home, rather have 50/50 split than 51/49, crazy things can happen when it breaks your way. thank you for your insight, we appreciate it. >> apple ceo meeting with republicans today after elon musk said twitter could be banned from the app store. >> and parlor knows what happens to companies that challenge

apple, mark meckler joins us next. an unthinkable genocide took the lives of six million jews. and thousands of jewish survivors are still suffering in poverty today. god calls on people who believe in him to act on his word. "comfort ye, comfort my people." especially during this holiday season of hanukkah. when i come here and i sit with lilia i realize

what she needs right now is food. these elderly jews are weak and they're sick. they're living on $2 a day this now, is how god's children are living. take this time to send a survival food box ... urgently need your gift of $25 now to help provide one survival food box with all of the essentials they critically need for their diet for one month. your special holiday gift will provide everything they need to celebrate the miracle of hanukkah. this is the first time in over 70 years that she has anything to do with faith. the communists came and wiped it out. and now we're coming to her and saying, "it's okay to have faith." it's okay to light the hanukkah candles.

for just $25, you can help supply the essential foods they desperately need for one month. your support will provide them with a box overflowing with nourishing food and the knowledge that faithful christians around the world care about them. god tells us to take care of them, to feed the hungry. and i pray holocaust survivors will be given the basic needs that they so desperately pray for to survive.

>> todd: former chinese president has died at the age of 96 according to chinese state media, he held the office from 1993 to 2003, he was mostly obscure before being hand picked

to lead the ccp. throughout his reign, when coincided with the soviet union collapse, he broke china out of diplomatic isolation by mending fences with the united states. >> people are risking being thrown in prison, being tortured and murdered, but they are standing up for freedom and joe biden ought to stand up with the people of china and say they deserve to be free, this white house won't do that. >> todd: the white house did say it supports peacefully pro protesting lockdowns, attacking covid response gun crime and fentanyl crisis while supporting zero covid policy as means to protect people's lives and ensure them a better life.

twitter users say china is main source of fentanyl trafficked to the u.s. tucker carlson says another tech company is covering for the ccp. >> apple did the bidding of the chinese government to crush domestic protests against the communist party, by disabling permanent airdrop feature in china and so far only in china. only country where it is disabled. why did apple disable that feature in china? iphone users can communicate without using the internet or cellular network, both of which in state like china are controlled by the government. without permanent airdrop impossible for citizens to get together. apple is active collaborator

with the police state. >> carley: the company's ceo is heading to capitol hill to meet with top committees. elon musk accuses apple of planning to take twitter off the app store. mark meckler, former parlor ceo joins me now. mark, good morning, going to be interesting day for tim cook, especially because elon musk said on twitter that apple is threatening to kick twitter off the app store, which happened to parlor and you know about. do you think apple will do the same thing to twitter? >> i think the threat is very real and would be incredibly damaging to twitter, he's got a different fight, tim cook, than with us. you have multi billionaire versus another multi billion

entity, it will be an epic fight if it happening. >> carley: i'm sure, a lot of different opinions on the topic and the white house made their opinion clear yesterday, karine jean-pierre casually says that the white house is keeping a close eye on twitter, which is a private company, that statement comes close to first amendment violation, what do you think the future of twitter is going to be? you have the white house against elon musk, apple one of the largest companies, what do you think is going to happen here? >> my read would be future of twitter is bright, look at elon musk and his record of success. if you look at the amount of money behind twitter and look at twitter, actual user engagement and number of daily users working and using the platform is up. their expenses are down issue he's cut the company from 7500 employees down to roughly, as i

understand it, 750 employees, very dangerous move for silicon valley executives because if they look like they are bloated, he's leaning and operating and could see the tech industry change. my money is on musk right now. >> carley: people who left twitter are celebrities and liberaling, they say it is more dangerous because of misinformation, one way to fight misinformation is more speech, not less, what are the people afraid of? >> they are afraid of free speech, elon musk stands for free speech and wants more dialogue and standing up and saying this, somebody not a traditional conservative, he is dangerous to totalitarians around the world. >> carley: somebody else standing up is ron desantis, calling on congress to act if apple does drop twitter from the

app store. listen. >> they are trying to get elon musk twitter off the app store, which could be a huge blow, they need to look at anti-trust with massive companies because they are exercising massive amounts of power or our society. >> carley: what do you think about that, what would congressional action look like? do you have thoughts there? >> i think he is right, musk is talking about launching his own phone, if he launches a phone or even seriously investing in aen fo, that makes a direct competitor with apple and the act comes into play, not only can congress use it, interestingly, musk could use it, private right of action and we account see anti-trust action and it could be viable. >> carley: maybe he will launch that phone launch. did you hear about apple restricting use of the airdrop

feature in china, the feature that protesters in china have been using, what do you think is going on there? >> i mean, this is incredible, you have tim cook actually assisting totalitarian regime. this sets dangerous precedent. is apple an american company, are they serving american interest? i think the answer is no. >> carley: quickly, mark, elon musk says he wants to release the conversations that were taking place when twitter banned the hunter biden laptop story, what are you looking for there? >> this is one reason the left hates him, we know what they did and we know they were suppressing legitimate news and it will be interesting to see those conversations and the american people want to see them and it will be damming for politicians and the company prior to musk's takeover.

>> carley: thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. speaking of elon musk, one celebrity is staying on twitter despite her disdain for the new ceo. >> if we're not representing our side of the political discourse, aren't we just saying, you can have twitter, it is like a turf war now. >> todd: who's the boss? joe concha on deck to talk about that and more, next. but then, i found quviviq, an fda approved medication for adults with insomnia. and i'm glad i found it. you wouldn't believe some of the things people suggested to help me sleep. nature sounds? ahh, no thanks. my friend's white noise idea. nope. and i'm not counting sheep. not on the...carpet.

insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. so i know how important a good night's sleep is. that's why i take quviviq nightly. quviviq could help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer; and more sleep at night may mean feeling less tired during the day. maybe i should tell them how it works, taye? quviviq works differently than medications you may have taken in the past. quviviq is thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia - overactive wake signals. do not take quviviq if you have narcolepsy. don't drink alcohol while taking quviviq or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alert. quviviq may cause temporary inability to move or talk or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. quviviq may cause sleepiness during the day. quviviq may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day like walking, driving and making or eating food. worsening depression including suicidal thoughts may occur. most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness. it's quviviq. ask your doctor if it's right for you.

>> todd: the biden administration imposing new restrictions on federal land after the white house claims there is opportunity to drill for oil here at home while approving chevron to drill in the communist dictatorship of venezuela. >> carley: cheryl casone will sum it up even further. >> cheryl: the interior department releasing a new proposal aimed at limiting methane leaks on federal land. officials say it will boost efficiency and the president is reaching out to other countries to produce more energy.

tom pyle says the president is misguided. >> he rather get oil from iraq, saudi arabia and venezuela than from texas, new mexico and north dakota, it doesn't make sense to anyone other than the fact he wants to placate big donors. >> cheryl: the treasure department announce it will allow drilling for oil in socialist venezuela. >> todd: could disney be returning to normal? >> cheryl: you have new installed ceo bob iger, who says he wants to quiet the culture wars two weeks after taking back his old jobs, telling employees, do i like the company being embroiled in controversy? of course, it can have a negative impact on the company and to the extent i can work to quiet things down, i'm going to

do that. earlier this year, the company waged war of words against governor ron desantis, the latest animated film bombed at the box office, a lot of problems at disney. i said he is not political and will take disney is get the company as much as he can out of politics. >> carley: cheryl, disney is not the happiest place on earth, the happiest place on earth is your home, especially in hawaii. >> cheryl: join me on fox business, scott and janelle loved vacationing maui. and kirk and yvonne are ready to put their toes in the sand. american dream home, tonight. >> carley: i want to be scott

and janelle. let's pool our money together and get an american dream home, shall we? actress alyssa milano getting lectured by whoopi goldberg who ditched the platform, listen to this. >> we can't see that territory, it is like a turf war now, that is how i look at it. >> some things you have to walk away from until you get control you need of it, right now, no way to get this control. >> todd: joe concha, author of "come on, man," joins us now. get this control, perfect example for how the left wants to suppress conservative views, they are not hiding it, joe. >> joe: the left lost their progressive playground, biggest super pack and this is unhinged reaction we're seeing, carley

and todd. alyssa milano, who hasn't been relevant for 20 years would be irrelevant without twitter, it is only thing that allows her to stay in the public eye, she is not getting on "the view" without her twitter feed. remember last week she said she traded her tesla for volkswagen without realizing history of volkswagen in that case and trading in your electric car to show elon musk you mean business, that trended for the wrong reason. not long ago, alyssa milano tweeted, four people you would want to have dinner with, mine, jesus, robert clemente, and elon musk. >> carley: she was a fan, wanted to dine with elon musk, she says she is staying on twitter. other people like whoopi goldberg are not. i was talking to former parlor

ceo, mark meckler. tweet about it and speak out more, more speech is better than less. >> joe: sure, it shines a light, call it out. i love the fact the folks are holding up the old twitter before elon musk as beacon of truth. hunter biden laptop story censured and covid may have started in a lab in wuhan instead of rogue bet in a market, your account is suspended, you can't share your inform egg. they want the old twitter back because it targeted those they disagreed with by shutting them up and shutting them down and that is not acceptable to some. >> todd: cnn's don lemon is defending his boss and it gets more bizarre.

>> word on the street, you are not allowed to be liberal anymore. >> we were never liberal, we have to hold people to account, that doesn't mean we're going liberal or conservative, we do good journalism. >> todd: joe, when a liberal like colbert is dumbfounded by your message that cnn was never liberal, isn't that a bad sign? >> joe: i will have trouble getting through the rest of this segment for you and carley and the viewers because i think i broke two ribs from laughing so hard at that answer. cnn has never been liberal? basic stats, harvard study, not a bastion for conservative centiment, found cnn coverage was 93% negative, highest of any

news organization, how can you say you're in the middle when you have numbers like that? cnn did a town hall for joe biden before the presidential election and said it was supposed to be people asking joe biden tough questions and turned out when you looked at the ideology of folks asking questions, seven democrats, two republicans and the two republicans were never trumpers. that is not how it goes and don lemon said that cnn does not do opinion, don lemon's existence is to do opinion. >> carley: just own who you are and in his answer, he said, we want to have republicans, i mean, reasonable republicans on censor and hold republicans into account and cnn network with peaceful protest banner. joe, we have to leave it there, thank you. >> todd: hope your ribs improve,

whatever we want. lower court decisions be damned. >> that's exactly what is going on. the biden administration, it's hard to believe this. we have been fighting immigration and illegal immigration and violating federal law since they have been in office. but it's hard to believe that what they are fighting for here is the ability to release criminals into our society who are here illegally, they are fighting to keep those people here as well. >> carley car there is a piece in axios saying the biden administration is eyeing border overhaul as title 42 ends. the administration is scrambling to figure all this out. title 42 ends next month and there will be greater influx of people on the border, if you can believe it, as a result. how do you think the biden administration handles this and what should they do? >> well, look, from day one, they said that they would not deport people. they have done everything they can to end the remain in mexico program and catch and release,

end title 42, end the building of the wall. so it's hard to believe at some point they are actually going to try to stop illegal immigration. what it looks like they are inviting the cartels to bring as many people here as fast as possible and the consequences to them, the negative consequences they are fine with. >> todd: when it comes to are meantime travis county in your state now on pace to record the double the number of fentanyl deaths this year compared to 2021. 118 fentanyl deaths recorded in the first eight months. that's the exact same amount in the entirety of last year. a push in this county to add narcan to bars and lots of other places. i'm all for that in order to save lives. a.g. paxton, why doesn't the biden administration en40s law on the books to keep the

fentanyl out to begin with? >> again, it's shocking they know by not protecting the border there will be more people dying from fentanyl and other drugs. they have been fine with that. and this d.a. and others should speak out about that. because that's ultimately the problem here because border patrol is so busy cooking row jis sticks and processing people they're not able to do the job which they are supposed to do, which they want to do, protect border from the importation of illegal drugs. as the numbers go up, we are dealing with more people dying every day and the biden administration is promoting that. >> carley: yesterday, kevin mccarthy had a press conference after he met with the president, during that meeting he said that he invited the president to go to the border with him. i doubt the president is going to do it. he is going to hold some congressional hearings there do you think that will be helpful? quick answer here about 15 seconds to you. >> absolutely helpful. i hope congress digs into this and exposes more and more of what the biden administration is doing. which is violating federal law
