backwards. and they see the way that donald trump, you know, continuing to maintain that lead. they also see how every time joe biden seems to be more out in public on things that he should be winning on, he is actually going backwards and that is a concern for them and that's what you would take away with this snapshot in time. by the way 300,000 people on the mall just a couple days ago, "the washington post" deemed it good enough to make the metro section not front page. >> todd: unreal. doug, 10 seconds to you. is it time for the g.o.p. to coalesce around donald j. trump as its nominee. >> getting to that point. you will see that after the primary start. that's what the polls are showing. that's what people are asking for. >> todd: doug collins, we always appreciate your time. we thank you for joining us on a very busy thursday morning. carley, have fun out there. >> carley: thank you, see nerve nashville have. a good day.

franklin marching band and they have come to play. >> ainsley: they are talented. and they woke up super early. >> brian: and they didn't mind doing it. guy, thanks so much for being here. we have a studio audience, we have great looking band and pretty good looking anchors. welcome to the grand ole opry house. and this has 95 years of history. multiple locations. there is so much history. we might have to take four hours instead of three. >> ainsley: original grand ole opry opened up in the 40's and then moved here. it's larger. they kept. we will show you throughout the show a circle, part of the reiman stage still here today that they moved over to this facility. >> brian: they forgot to take it. >> ainsley: where they are inducted where dolly has stood. >> steve: they would sing and so they brought it here so that every performer would always stand in the original. >> lawrence: all on the souse outside. all of the artifacts. the stuff that they performed. in the guitars, the microphones,

so much history. >> ainsley: loretta lynn's dress. high heels when she wore them on stage? >> steve: the high heels were a little tight. >> ainsley: you thought about wearing them? >> steve: i thought that was our wardrobe for today. >> ainsley: don't touch those. they are behind glass. >> brian: by the way, one of the main reasons we are here only reason, okay? patriot awards. hours away instead of days and months and weeks, hours away. the world's best and most deserving award show full of ton of surprises. >> ainsley: we have heard from all of our audience. we don't watch the oscars anymore. we don't watch the grammys anymore, hollywood is so woke. we decided to develop our own award show for the true heros in our country. and those are the first responders. those are many celebrities that we consider celebrities that the mba player ennis kanter freedom

won last year. >> lawrence: studio audience here today and they get a sneak peek of what is happening. >> i'm so excited for the morning show host to give away the last award. change into unitowards. >> ainsley: lawrence is not going to sleep and stop drinking three hours before the show tomorrow. >> steve: stop drinking what. >> brian: don't t tell ainsley something that you don't want on the air? >> >> ainsley: i asked permission. >> lawrence: congress taking action to avert a government shutdown just before thanksgiving, steve. >> steve: that's right; speaker bill heading to president biden desk. the president is expected to approve the stop gap bill which fund the government through early next year when there will be a big fight.

violence erupting outside of the d.c. headquarters in d.c. >> brian: outside the democratic national? unbelievable. six police officers hurt. one protester arrested, all house office buildings were completely locked down. we're going to bring you a live report from washington in about 20 minutes. meanwhile, while there is a lot of action on the east coast. there is even more action and more consequential action you would argue on the west coast as china's president xi came here for the first time in six years. is he attending the apec summit. last time he was here at mar-a-lago. first time seen president biden in a while. >> ainsley: why don't we talk about some of the takeaways. i was reading an article this morning that broke down five different takeaways. they agreed on climate change. both countries slow methane emissions. they agreed to fentanyl trafficking. we lost 75,000 people in america last year because of fentanyl.

then they agreed to resume military to military communications that were cut by china last year. and our relations with them deteriorated years ago. but it made it worse when they flew that spy balloon across america. they do say that talk also continue, they shook hands, xi said conflict and confrontation has unbearable confrontation. the pandas. we saw the pan does leave the national zoo for the first time in 23 years last month. only four pandas at the country in the atlanta zoo. xi did hint that beijing is open to sending more panda toes our zoos. >> brian: worry about the fentanyl first and worry about the pandas down the line. i know they are huggable. >> steve: very interesting for mr. xi to say the world is big enough for two super powers. so that suggests there is no thaw. for the most part they got some tiny deliverables. the fentanyl is important. and they are going to turn on the red phone again. other than that, behind the scenes, they are stabbing each other in the back. here is joe biden after meeting

for four hours at a heavily armed wedding venue in california about the meeting. watch this. >> i'm pleased to announce after many years of being on hold, we are restarting cooperation between the united states and prc and counter narcotics. so today significantly reduce the flow of precursor chemicals and pill presses from china to the western hemisphere. secondly, and this is important. reassuming military-to-military contact, direct contacts. as to press follow this that's been cut off. that's been worrisome. >> mr. president, as of today would you president xi [inaudible] earlier this year? >> look, he is. >> brian: there is a lot going on here. look, it's great that they have this meeting, it's good that

they reestablish communications. but the problem is not us heading off their b-52 bombers. that's what they're doing. the problem is not us knocking out, interdicting their destroyers, that's what they're doing. the problem is not us sending spy balloons across china, that's what they're doing. this is their problem. they are the belligerent power who seems imminently gelless of us. i think the best example is taiwan. what is their problem with taiwan. this small island is remarkably productive and the people are happy. they have freedom. they have control over their lives. and they need to crush it. and they need us out of the way. >> lawrence: not just that there was no mention of tiktok and the influence that it's having on our kids. yesterday i read a piece in the rolling stones viral tiktok going viral. that tiktok it talks about usama bin laden's letter to america on why he did what he did on 9/11. and this really speaks to what's happening in the country. this is what he said. the creation and continuation of

israel is one of the greatest crimes you and your leaders have ever done. each and every person who hands have become polluted in the contribution toward this crime must pay a price. this is circulating on tiktok now. china knows this is happening and wants it to happen, as justification on the attack of israel from hamas. and so, they are wins the propaganda war. china is supporting them in this effort. and our president didn't mention it at all yesterday in the conversation. >> brian: think about this, lawrence, think about who is doing more damage to muslims. they have millions in cremps. concentration camps. and they are worried about thousands of muslims and arabs are able to work inside israel? they know that israel is not the problem. but they want to make sure that there is constant unrest. >> ainsley: so the chinese -- thanks, steve. the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson says the u.s. side should take real actions to honor its commitment of not

supporting taiwan independence. >> brian: okay. >> ainsley: stop arming taiwan and support china's space reunification. china will realize reunification and this is unstoppable. >> steve: that's the terrifying part. the reunification is unstoppable. what that says is okay, we're going to shake hands. we're going to have a nice dinner. take some pictures. we will take taiwan some day and you're not going to stop us. >> ainsley: mike pence talked about that yesterday. he was saying that china is -- they understand one thing and that's strength. >> lawrence: oh yeah they do. when you look at joe biden's record it's not strong. look at the afghanistan. look what is happening right now in israel. >> steve: is he sizing them up. >> lawrence: to your point about strength, i was happy about it that they had the streets lined up with the chinese flag but no american flags on the street as they greeted his motorcade to come through.

>> brian: "wall street journal" on the money sizing up what joe biden would do if we take taiwan. because of the next guy and the next woman will most likely be a lot tougher, especially if it's trump. >> ainsley: coming up biden's disapproval at a record low as trump support hits 62% among republicans. >> brian: and the third party threat very real with r.f.k. taking votes and manchin considering a run and jill stein. did i even mention her in the third party factor next. >> lawrence: we will be live from the grand ole opry house in nashville in front of a live audience all morning with the franklin high school marching band. big show. stick around. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

in a year when it documents election. when you look at the disapproval rating for joe biden. >> ainsley: it's a falling star. >> steve: disapproval with men almost at super majority. voters under 45. hispanic voters 60%. college degree people and black voters at 41. really good for donald trump. >> ainsley: if you look at the numbers for trump. look how well he is doing. doing better now than october. 62% in october. 59%. ron desantis went up. he is now 14%. 13% in october. nikki haley up to 11%. she was 10% in october. >> brian: what about that third party, the choice for president if voting right now. 35% would say joe biden is my man -- let's look at the third party first. voting right now, joe biden would have 35% of the vote. 41% for trump. 15% for r.f.k. jr. who is a man

with no party. not running no labels. not green party. having a factor. other question is besides jill stein, cornel west. the question is now what about joe manchin? if he gets in, how will he do? and is he really thinking about doing it? >> lawrence: i think the interesting thing as we look at all the polling data amongst all the different groups of people, a lot of groups there are normally a shoo-in for the democrats with the exception of -- it seems like the circumstances of those individuals is just not flying. and when you see the black residents of chicago talking about the border, you see the hispanic community saying they don't like the illegal immigration system because they did it the right way, the economy is affecting all these individuals, it just seems like to me and i will continue to say this, the typical identity politics way of doing things from the democratic party is not just -- it's not going to work. joe manchin talked about the

potential of him running though. let's watch. >> just to clarify, just to put a point i know you hadn't made a decision. are you considering running for president? >> i will do anything can i to represent my country. >> is that a yes. >> you say does that mean you would consider it? absolutely, every american should consider. >> ainsley: ever american should consider it. >> brian: that's true. i think every american, 300 million are considering running for president on a no labels ticket. here to me is the most consequential thing head-to-head with joe biden. trump win bias 4. desantis by 5. nikki haley up by 11, head-to-head with joe biden. >> ainsley: r.f.k. jr., are those democrats? >> steve: it's a little bit of everything. >> ainsley: is he stealing votes? >> steve: from both. >> lawrence: to brian's point of the head-to-head matchup, for the republican primary, this is going to bring this to a quicker close because the one argument a lot of people in the race have had is, look, we like donald

trump policy. may have disagreed with the tone. he just cannot win. when you look at every national poll he just can't win. now we have the swing states. now we have the head-to-head matchup. even with the independent. and is he winning. so, you know, this may start to get wrapped up real quickly now that we have new polling data. >> brian: governor abbott might be ready to endorse him, too. that would be another governor. >> steve: one of the other components and i was down in washington yesterday for the. >> ainsley: bless your heart that's how you lost your voice. >> steve: i was talking really loud. one of the things that is not working in joe biden's favor right now is that his support for israel. because there are a lot of people in his own party who are on the other side. and wait until the new polls come out that show that. i think the most consequential thing joe biden said yesterday, actually happened at the apec summit in san francisco. who was he talking about? gavin newsom. he said he is one hell of a governor. he also said he can be anything

he wants. he could have the job i'm looking for. the big question is when would joe biden say, you know what, gavin? go. go and get the job i want. >> ainsley: sean has a big debate with gavin newsom and it's on the 0th and ron desantis meeting up in georgia and have a debate. we will see. >> steve: although maybe it should be with nikki haley. nikki haley has actually doubled her support in new hampshire. she is now i think, at 18%. ron desantis is at 7%. >> brian: only thing falling as fast as joe biden and gavin newsom is california. he may look the part. but the back of his baseball card is awful. and that's why ron desantis has got a great shot to define himself by just looking at gavin newsom's record. >> steve: stay tuned. >> ainsley: coming up. a fox news alert. violent pro-palestinian protest outside of the dnc yet. >> steve: that's my point. >> ainsley: six capitol police officers were hurt and house offices put on lockdown. a live report from washington,

enforcement. chaos leaving six officers injured, forcing the capitol into lockdown and the evacuation of democratic lawmakers from the dnc. congressman brad sherman posting this on social media, saying itt was just evacuated from the dnc after pro-terrorists, anti-israel protesters grew violent, pepper spraying police officers, and attempting to break into the building. at least one protester was arrested for assault on an officer. yet, protest organizers maintain the demonstration was peaceful. watch. >> the folks in that building tonight, the folks in democratic leadership have not been listening to the 80% of us and diversity cease-fire and stop the genocide of palestinians. and instead of being met with leaders engaging with us, and instead of being met, again, people protest we were met by police. >> griff: organizers released a statement saying police violently attacked them leaving

90 protesters were injuries. an interesting turn of events last night that really shook the capitol, brian. we will send it back to you. >> brian: thanks so much, griff. absolutely incredible and not going to come to an end soon, sadly. meanwhile to another fox news alert. the unrest here at home happening as israel naval commander taking control of gaza's main port from hamas. that operation coming after the idf says it uncovered weapons in a raid inside the territory's largest hospital odd place to keep weapons. go to trey yingst inside southern israel. trey? >> hey, guys. good morning. amid ongoing battles between israel and hamas overnight, we entered gaza's al shifa hospital with special forces. here's a preview of our report. >> in the dark of night, flanked by israeli special forces, we moved quickly into gaza's al shifa hospital. >> you can hear the israelis are engaged in gun battles here with

hamas. >> down a hallway in the radiology department, soldiers point to piles of weapons and hamas booklets as evidence the building was used for military purposes. behind an mri machine, more guns and ammunition. the israelis say are part of hamas grab bags that were feet away from injured palestinians. >> in terms of the patients here, there are hundreds of palestinian civilians, more than 1,000 internally displaced gazans. are they being protected? >> first of all, they are unharmed, which is very important to state. no palestinian civilian was even hurt, injured, in yesterday's activity. >> trey: as part of our embed israeli forces controlled what areas of the hospital we could report from. >> you can hear those gun battles raging on outside of the hospital grounds. leaving the hospital beneath the roar of israeli drones. light from inside from one of the buildings illuminates a path. back in an armored personnel carrier, we head to a staging

area before switching vehicles. taking jeeps across gaza provides a glimpse of the destruction along the strip, with entire neighborhoods destroyed, many palestinians will have no homes to return to. despite the rising civilian death toll and widespread destruction. the israelis plan to continue their military campaign until hamas is destroyed and the hostages are freed. during the israeli raid they say they recovered critical information about the 240 hostages currently being held inside gaza. guys, back to you. >> brian: yeahna, is a worry and very little signs of life so far. trey, thanks so much. hamas reportedly agreed to a tentative deal to free dozens of hostages, as many as 70, pending israel's approval according to the "the washington post" as we learned the deal may have been rejected. they also want palestinian prisoners out. this comes as the total number of attacks against u.s. forces in the middle east climbs to 57.

and the u.s. destroyer shoots down a drone from yemen, the houthi rebels seem to be armed. i wonder why iran did that here to react former green beret and leader of task force pineapple retired lt. colonel scott man. good to see you. your thoughts as a war fighter when you hear you might have to have a five day pause for possible release of 70 hostages. what are you thinking? >> i mean, obviously, being mindful of the fact that negotiations are underway right now you can't take your eye off of hamas for any period of time just based on the nature of how they operate and the fact that they are, you know, putting men, equipment, and inside hospitals. >> brian: when you are trying to take down a terrorist force, how difficult is it, also, to take videotape and sell your side of the story to the world. >> it's going to become more and more clear that this is a narrative war, right? this is a war about narrative.

and i don't think we have ever seen a war quite like this where in real time israel is having to give footage to the rest of the world to demonstrate that they are applying surge precision in what they do. that's going to continue for them. that's not going to stop. if they don't, the propaganda machine of hamas will overtake them. >> brian: i know you have seen a lot of horrible things in this world, especially extracting what was left of our allies in afghanistan. can you imagine the mindset of a terrorist who would kill parents in cold blood in front of a 3-year-old and take a 3-year-old hostage? >> i think one of the things i'm most concerned about right now is that migration of isis style tactics that we saw on october 7th. and i think as americans and as zwerners we need to be very mindful of that there is a very real possibility that migration of tactic could say find its way here. >> brian: i'm a little concerned about our guys. 45,000 in the region. 2500 in iraq. 900 in syria being targeted 54 times in three and a half weeks. we have hit back four times.

how hard is it to sit there and hope the missile defense saves your life and the concussion doesn't wreck your brain? >> yeah. the tbis of our forces are really going up. and when you have this kind of footprint, when you have this escalation, increased footprint and you are facing a symmetric threats. our guys and gallons are really at risk. engagement that protect their force protection. otherwise, we will see these kind of a met trick attacks to escalate. >> brian: why was it important for you to come to the patriot awards? >> because this is a community based approach. one of the things i saw with pineapple express and other volunteer effort is what our country is capable of to this very day at the community and individual level. that's where leadership comes from. it doesn't come from top down government it. comes from communities and fox really brings that out and it's just fun to come watch it. >> brian: scott, great to see you. thanks for all you do. round of applause for lieutenant colonel scott mann.
