board members usually gets settled in more -- what makes this different is this company is at the center of this amazing technology. and when you have that and this massive debate i don't know if a.i. is going to be great. >> brian: 700 employees at this firm said bring him back or we're leaving out of 730. how could they misjudge like this. >> right. it's stupid that the board did that but they don't care. there are true believers on both sides the board would rather dissolve than go full force a.i. if they leave and bring him back they will go microsoft and go full force at microsoft. >> brian: you believe is he at microsoft and believe everything is still correctable. even though he said i left them at microsoft you don't know if it's still fixable. >> this debate is going to play out at microsoft.

don't be surprised if you have a rift at microsoft about whether we should go sam altman full on a.i. or what the altruistic types are saying inside chatgpt. >> first time saw sam altman worried about how dangerous there could be. >> could be. still took the money and going full force. is he a true believer. members of that board are not. we are going to hear this debate. let's say be everybody moves to microsoft. this debate will occur at microsoft. guaranteed. >> brian: you will be back, charlie. >> okay. >> brian: fox business. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: it is 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. start with a fox weather alert.

as americans hit the roads and skies ahead of thanksgiving over the river and through the woods to grandma's house. you have hail ma'am memberring gulf coast states on monday. fox weather radar confirms tornadoes did touch down. look at that right there, in southern louisiana last night. >> ainsley: it is part of the severe storm system with at least 20 million americans in the past. >> lawrence: it's already creating headaches for travelers. flight aware reporting more than 9300 delays at u.s. airports since sunday, brian. >> brian: can only get worse with millions expected to hit the skies today and several major airports already looking crowded, hence the bed music. janice dean with live this morning with our fox weather forecast. you are outdoors. i am outdoors. we are in new jersey right across the river. we are going to be interviewing some band members that will be at the macy's thanksgiving day

parade first we have to get everybody to their final des continue nation. yesterday we had hail, large winds and tornadoes for louisiana and mississippi. several reports yesterday afternoon into the evening. there were several tornado watches and we are expecting the same today especially are across portions of the gulf coast and southeast and even into the mid-atlantic. so we -- this is the secondary severe season. you think about severe weather. we have a first severe weather season in the springtime and then in the fall which is what is happening. the rest of the country pretty quiet, millions of people live along the eastern seaboard. and that's exactly where we're going to see severe storms but could see the potential for heavy snow and even some freezing rain across interior sections of the northeast. there is the ice forecast. that's the worst thing can you travel on if you are on the roadway. so, i want to make sure everyone has a backup plan in case you're delayed or you are canceled at

the airports or it's too dangerous to drive on the roadway. so your airport delays, again, across portions of the great lakes, the southeast, up towards the northeast today where we have, you know, the most people, basically. where we have the travel delays and the possible cancellations. so fox weather.com for all of your latest details. i can't stress it enough. if you are going to the airport today, there are going to be delays there are going to be cancellations. have a backup plan and, please be safe. don't, you know, don't travel just because you think you have got to get somewhere. i would rather you stay home and travel when it's not so busy. and thanksgiving, by the way, looks really good. really good forecast for thanksgiving. so live in weehawken new jersey. we love it here. back inside. >> brian: excuse me, janice, is anthony fauci letting us have thanksgiving this year? are we allowed to. >> ainsley: outdoors. only outdoors. >> janice: you are allowed. >> steve: j.d., thank you very much. it's beautiful in new york. it's the calm before the storm. meanwhile the u.s. army is pulling a 180 now inviting

soldiers back after kicking them out. >> brian: can you believe this? >> steve: for refusing to get the covid vaccine back in the day. >> brian: really? sorry about that. the pentagon is reportedly looking to use millions of taxpayer dollars towards their diversity push as well. >> ainsley: peter doocy is live at the white house to tell us more. peter? >> peter: the army is having a tough time right now getting people to join. there were 10,000 short of their latest recruiting goal, so they are starting to court people they kicked out for not getting the covid vax. this letter just went out to about 1900 people. it says in part as a result of the rescission of all current covid-19 vaccination requirements. former soldiers who were involuntarily celebrated for refusal to receive the covid-19 vaccination may request a correction of their military records from either or both the army discharge review board or the army board for correction of military records. well, what a change. because in february of 2022, the army secretary said army

readiness depends on soldiers who are prepared to train, deploy, fight and win our nation's wars. unvaccinated soldiers present risks to the force and jeopardize readiness. we will begin involuntary separation proceedings for soldiers who refuse to receive the vaccine and are not pending a final decision on exentle. they are boosting up the budget for inclusion and accessibility training. 68 million. 2023. 86.5 million. the 2024 request is for $114 million plus 700,000 and change. it's not just that the dod. the heritage foundation oversight project is publishing a sheet that's been given to cbp officers and it's instructing them to use gender neutral language with anybody that they encounter until they know that person's name and preferred pronouns. back to you.

>> brian: unbelievable. >> steve: peter, are these instructions from the white house or are these from pentagon brass okay this is how we are operating this joint now. >> it would be coming from the cbp's bureaucratic overlords here in washington, d.c. going out to all the different brants men and women on the front lines. >> at a time we are worried about the budget and deficit. defense b -- budget picking all the money they can we are putting it into diversity. >> they might be worried about potential wars in the middle east growing and in the south china sea starting but they are not there yet. so they have got some extra money laying around. >> lawrence: this is so stupid. >> brian: dumbest thing you ever heard. >> lawrence: black. head of the joint chief who is black. what else are they trying to push in the recruitment overall for the military is down. they are passing out tbis to our guys on the ground every

single day and there is no response. >> peter: only 100 people in the army got though letter. they were 10,000 short of the recruiting goal for the last year. it would make a dent in it and certainly 1900 people who are willing to serve their country. that is a lot. but, it is short of the pentagon's overall goal here. >> brian: every branch except the marines. all right, thanks, peter. >> ainsley: they really have messed this up. >> brian: making it worse. so stupid. >> ainsley: we have fewer men and women defending our country. now they are asking them to come back. look at what is happening in sanctuary cities. we need to be a sanctuary city

and welcoming of everyone. when they send everyone oh, we don't want sanctuary status anymore. >> brian: this is why policies of the previous four years better and better than what we experienced three years. you don't need to run a campaign ad. we are in upside down world. >> ainsley: where is the common sense? four years ago when they were implementing all these stupid plans, people would say this is just not -- where is the common sense? now people are waking up. >> steve: look at the commander-in-chief. i mean, it's obviously part of what he wants in this administration. >> brian: equity. >> steve: ebb yesterday was joe biden's birthday. oldest person. >> brian: that really snuck up on me. >> steve: take a look at this. that bonfire right there is something that they have posted and it says thanks for the birthday well-wishes today, everybody. turns out on your 146th birthday you are running out of steam.

>> brian: hysterical. >> ainsley: such a weird thing to say. >> lawrence: real issue for the american public right now. i don't think he takes it seriously at all. >> ainsley: of course others when all this comes out birthday reporters an opportunity to talk about is he prepared to run for four more years. be president for four more years and operation bubble wrap. more come out. people close to biden push him to replace his formal shoes the ones that y'all have on because of risk of falling and wear some more comfortable shoes. walk shorter distances while on camera. >> steve: in that article and politico playbook highlighted "the washington post" "new york times" reporting on it. it said it blamed his stiff gate on the fact that, you know, the way he walks, that he broke his foot playing with his dog a couple years ago. >> lawrence: always. >> steve: that's the cover story. always an excuse. >> steve: blame the dog. >> ainsley: same dog that.

>> brian: two dogs ago they both attacked people. >> ainsley: one breaks your foot. >> brian: four-some. >> ainsley: talk to the panel. so let's begin here. lawrence, why don't you start us off. as biden continues to struggle with democratic voters. several new polls show trump leading nationally. let's take a closer look. >> brian: too big to egg another. and the -- obviously what's in the margin of error. nothing is a year out. >> lawrence: if the election were held today, it's showing that joe biden would only get 44%. donald trump is still at 46 percent. brian. this is a drop from that 51%. and that's nbc. >> brian: nbc he has never been leading in the nbc poll. weave will break it down and see the battleground states. among voters 18 to 34. usually bad news for republican nominee. even if younger than donald trump. not bad news right now. and that is a lot to do with this israeli-hamas war. the president is on the right side of this. but a third of his party is for the palestinian-hamas cause.

which is more than a little scary. remember what happened at the div ng headquarters a couple days ago? they hurt six cops, raiding the dnc headquarters full of democrats and these are left wing democrats attacking democrats, hurting police officers. >> lawrence: brian, as you said, it's the war. it's also being let down when it comes to the student loans. he said he was going to forgive them. he went through the process. illegal. the supreme court said you can't do that. >> brian: student loan big as farce. alienated people to got into the trades. went a different direction. why are you paying off other people's loans in one age bracket. this is the key. independents. it's the only portion of the electorate that keeps growing. independents. and look at this. only 6 #%. all right. >> lawrence: these are the people that got him elected by the way that he has lost them. got "new york times." in nevada, swing state up by 10 points, donald trump is michigan up by 5.

>> brian: can i stop here a second? this is going to be key. abortion on the ballot in nevada. that could be the wrensing point. the fact that trump is up by 10 there is significant. shows he has a little bit of room. >> lawrence: to your point, brian, donald trump has a little bit of a different message than the other candidates running on abortion. look, you have got to be realistic here. you got to get voters there passing national bans just isn't going to work. >> brian: jim crow 2.0, right the people of georgia know better. stacey abrams is not the governor. kemp trounced her. trump is leading by 6 despite being sued by the district attorney there because evidently he wasn't happy with that turnout. i heard he had a problem with the last election. we will follow up on that story. >> lawrence: the issue that got donald trump elected the first time, is he leading on that issue by 12 points. and then on the national stage, with everything that is going on, 12 points there as well. >> brian: you see what he said the palestinian conflict. all in for israel. starting to pull back on that a

little bit. the fact israel alienating other people. national security, trump is trouncing big timement on immigration i thought it would be even more. let's look at the last poll. >> yeah. if the election were held today in a head-to-head. you got donald trump at 49%. biden at 45%. >> brian: how much do you think cnn hated to see this gap because they had to spend all their time saying well, joe biden is old. they wish they would get a new candidate. >> lawrence: increase for the 46%. good for donald trump. >> brian: nikki haley consistently does slightly better than donald trump head-to-head with joe biden. they are beginning to attack nikki haley. just in case she ends up finding a way to surge past president trump and be the nominee. >> lawrence: finally ron desantis against the president 48%. the american people are saying any republican but joe. >> brian: right. ron desantis again. they thought he was going to be the number one guy. he is still very much in contention. they are going after him whenever they can and they keep on bringing up the six week abortion ban in florida.

>> lawrence: big question is, brian, all these republican candidates have said donald trump can't be elected. we like his policies but he just can't win. it looks like that argument is being taken away. >> brian: it is. it's going to be very hard to make it. as lawrence and i just showed you, the president is dealing with a deficit at this moment. i would like to tell you the rest of the things i have to say but i'm just at a loss for words. i'm go to possibly toss it over to ainsley and steve. >> steve: come on over here. >> ainsley: as brian and lawrence were just showing you the president dealing with record low approval numbers look at that just 40% less than a year to go until the big day. seemingly inevitable rematch. >> steve: we have assembled in our studio a voter panel on this. seven folks with us. we were talking to them earlier. let's talk again. because the neyer, why is

president trump leading with independents. >> doesn't seem to be anybody else who has traction. there may be other people attractive but the numbers are what they are. the fact is that his numbers are overwind chilling he may be the guy. >> ainsley: two other independents. lizzy, i follow you on instagram because we met during these panels. and you are a staunch advocate for israel. you were in israel at the time of the attacks. my question to you is, do you think this is going -- the jewish vote is normally democratic. do you think that will change in the next election because republicans are pro-israel. and it seems that many of my jewish friends, peers, in the city say now we are looking in a different direction. >> you are exactly right, ainsley. all the jewish people that i

know personally have become single issue voters in the past six weeks. we believe that israel is violate for our security as the jewish people. and our integral relationship with the united states has become primary focus every other issue has been put on the shelf right now. >> steve: lizzy? >> i think it's hugely important not just for the jewish people but for the state of democracy. we are literally watching democracy fall right now. i think, honestly, there is almost a democratic civil war in that party. and we're watching it unfold. and i think people are just fed up. >> steve: yeah. exit question for you real fast. you right now we are a year out it looks like a rematch between joe biden and donald trump. if they're the two candidates, how many people, show of hands, think that people will go i already voted on that and not vote at all? any? >> i disagree. i think what i'm running into

more is people who -- and i know in my inner circle, four people who have never voted. >> steve: okay. >> in over 30 years of being able to vote, are telling me they are voting for president trump. >> steve: and you are a republican. interesting stuff. >> you are shaking your head yes. >> it's true. >> people who haven't voted in decades, all right? registered democrat, are now changing their party affiliation. >> ainsley: did you that. >> to either republican or conservative. >> all this stuff they are doing to our kids in schools. we don't like what is going on with our economy. we don't like how we are being told how we have to act. who voted for this? what is going on with the border? 16 million people crossing the border. $30 trillion deficit? anybody but biden. >> it's obvious that what is happening now is not working. we are a society based on law and order. yet we are not enforcing law and order. we are being run by fear and bullying and everybody is afraid to be politically incorrect or

offend somebody. absolutely not. we need a change. >> steve: people are angry. >> absolutely angry. >> steve: we're going to continue the conversation in a little bit. we are still a year out. it's really good to take the pulse of the country. >> ainsley: our country is divided. >> steve: meanwhile, still ahead this story. a biological male switches to the female swimming team. and, guess what? they break the school record. >> ainsley: shocker. >> steve: that is coming up shortly. >> ainsley: plus, former president trump marking his rival's birthday by releasing his clean bill of health from his doctor. our in house doctor dr. siegel is going to talk about it next. we are two days away from the big thanksgiving day parade here in new york city. and the legendary band director's marching band warming up on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪

>> carley: three teenagers in louisiana will now spend 20 years behind bars after pleading guilty to carjacking and attempted manslaughter. the teens stole a car from a 73-year-old woman dragging her behind the car, severing her arm last year. she later died from those injuries. the teens faced life sentences before taking the plea deal. and overnight a home in southern california goes up in flames after being at the center of a five-hour long swat standoff when authorities in san bernardino county moved in. they say the suspect opened fire and set off explosives. police say the man was ultimately shot and killed by officers. it's unclear what triggered that standoff. those are your headlines, brian. downstairs to you. >> brian: all right, carley. let's change gears. former president trump marking biden's 81st birthday by releasing a clean bill of health

for himself from his doctor. the former president's physician confirming the former president's health excellent. physical exams well within the normal range and his cognitive exams were exceptional. fox news medical contributor dr. marc siegel is here to react. from the medical perspective it's unique to get a letter about your health. is it because he is a former president? >> i think it came out because it was biden's 81st birthday. look, as you were saying it doesn't have a lot of detail to it. it's reassuring that he is in excellent health. that he is being reported to be passing cognitive tests. when i interviewed him last in 2020 he made that point strongly. the fitness to be president has to do with mental acuity. the american people have in on that. only 39% of americans think, democrats and republicans, think that biden has what it takes, that he is sharp enough. we are seeing that play out in real time. as far as trump is concerned.

i would like to see the results of cognitive tests. in the past he has had low pressure great. weight under control. doesn't smoke or drink. sources say he is exercising more on the golf course and supposedly even eating better. >> brian: that's what it said in the letter. for example we have ron desantis going after him saying he is not the same guy and chris christie says i don't think -- i think he is the same guy but under unbelievable stress looking at four trials. 91 charges, four indictments. could stress effect your cognitive ability? >> no question about that. by the way, that's a really important point. depression, anxiety, stress, definitely effects your cognition. exercise helps with that by the way if you exercise regularly. mental discipline helps with that not everyone reacts the same. that's clearly a factor. >> brian: right. so when you look at president biden. one of the things came out of his camp the reason why i'm walking kind of slow broke my foot a couple years ago playing

with my dog. could that be the case? >> i'm not buying that. i have seen that in his official physical exam from kevin o'connor, too. that gate looks suspicious for some kind of a gate problem. and by the way, here is another point to add to your point. it's not just cognition that's the issue. what are you facing in the world? are we americans confident with this terrible crisis going on in the world that the president is leading with a full deck? that's the question. and everyone is asking that. it's really important right now. >> brian: in one of the stories we are giving the president a little bit more time to rest. trying to eliminate some of those long overseas trips. that's not good because sometimes a president has got to go overseas for a long time and you go to these summits. >> i mean i don't want to -- look, i'm a kind physician. but when he met with the president of brazil and banging into the flag and forgetting to shake hands on the way out. that's not sending the right message. is trump what he was before? your pointed under being under pressure hugely important. that has to be included.

i would like to sees a many details as possible. i'm all about transparency when it comes to health. i said years ago, fitness to serve is something the american people need to vote on. >> brian: right. the president says he is ready to go. we know that he keeps a break neck pace. when he is ready to go, we will see. great to see are you, dr. siegel. >> great to see you, brian. >> brian: you are looking live at orlando airport. one of the busiest. ahead of what could be the busiest travel season ever this thanksgiving. plus, the biden camp probably not feeling especially thankful this week. nbc polling shows the president is losing to donald trump and nikki haley. ainsley talks 2024 with the voter panel, next. and that's what she looks likes a she talks to that panel. ♪ ♪

working overtime to get some agreement together. we also understand the red cross was lea meeting with top hamas leadership. likely going to be intermediary in all of this trying to get the hostages exchanged in pause in fighting. reports do indicate this would dodozen hostages are expected to only be women and children and would be exchanged for prisoners being held in israel. we know some other things about the deal according to reports and what this would look like being held here in israel. and according to initial reports. this would be a 3 to 1 ratio released from gaza, the israelis would have to release three either minors or women being held in israeli prisons. we do expect more information in the coming hours. likely to be released by the qataris who are spearheaded these negotiations. it is a very difficult time on the ground as everyone waits with much anticipation to see if

any sort of deal can be cut. steve? >> steve: we would like a deal to get those hostages out. trey, thank you very much. great reporting. 24 minutes now before the top of the hour. ainsley is downstairs. >> ainsley: that's right. thank you, steve. new polling released on president biden's birthday yesterday was anything but a gift. biden losing to former president trump in a head-to-head matchup for the first anytime nbc's poll history. maybe most concerning for the biden camp though, his cratering approval rating among independents, a voting block that's becoming increasingly important, especially in those key swing states. we are back with our voter panel to weigh in on this. raise your hand if you are an independent. i will start with you, lizy. tell us what you think about his birthday, 81 years old, are you concerned and who do you think you will vote for? >> you know, i am concerned but i'm not necessarily concerned about his age. i am concerned about this administration as a whole. you know, i really appreciate president biden's support of

israel and what he has said if something was to happen due to his age, i would fear what would be with the administration. you know, our white house press secretary can't even condemn people tearing down the poster he is of thes who tanks. this is what we are seeing from this administration. they can't even condemn evil. >> ainsley: aliza we look at the polls rank them after they speak after a debate. we always look to the independents to see where their head is going. if it's the right or wrong direction. what do you think? >> i think it's about a show of strength, right? so he came out of the gate on this subject of the israel war very strong. but there is so much internal strife. and you can watch from the voting that's happening. and lizzy, you are totally right. the press secretary, so many people in his own cabinet that don't align with his policies would show that they don't respect that. and i'm really looking at it from a world stage perspective.

like, foreign policy has never been more important and security in this country has never been more important. he is not showing the stamina that we need to actually win. this. >> ainsley: mayer, do you feel sorry when you are watching him. >> i often do feel sorry for him. it's not his age. we all know 81-year-olds who are sharp as a tack and unfortunately for better or worse that's not him. i haven't thought three years ago and i certainly don't think now that he is up to the job. i will say, echoing what lizzy said, i do appreciate the tone that he has taken concerning israel. but, if the fact that his administration doesn't seem to reflect that is only a larger reflection of the fact that he doesn't really always seem to be in charge. >> ainsley: all right. stephanie. you are a democrat. what do you think about joe biden? will he still get your vote? >> at this point in time, absolutely not. and i feel in some ways like i'm put between choosing the lesser of two evils.

but, for me at this moment, one, i can't stand the democratic party at this time. they don't reflect our morals or values. they don't respect -- like i said before, law and order. they don't respect the law. they don't respect democracy. there is so much turmoil and disruption and chaos that's ruling the party. and it seems like democratic voters are chanting and protesting to lose the liberties and the freedoms that they supposedly stand behind. >> ainsley: yeah. >> they are literally chanting for oppression. it's mind boggling to me. that doesn't reflect me or my family values at all anymore. i will say about biden and his age. again, it's not the number. i don't think he has mental clarity. on the one hand he stands behind israel and the next day we see him funneling $10 billion into iran. on the one hand he is offered democracy and, yet, we still fund the u.n. and they -- and

iran is now the head of the humanitarian organization. will. >> ainsley: brian, she brings up a good point. the democratic party is in a pickle. they are trying to appease the jewish population. people who support israel. but, also, you have all of these pro-palestinian rallies. and you are right. now he is supporting iran. giving them money. iran is funneling money to hamas and to hezbollah. >> $10 billion to iran while you are saying you are supporting israel we know iran is behind hezbollah and hamas. they have been funding this for years. it seems the united states is playing both sides of it. paying for both sides of these proxy wars out of money here. >> funding our own destruction. hamas has been very clear. hezbollah, iran, russia, china, this is not a jewish problem to them. this is capitalism. this is democracy. this is american values that they are after. this is the first line of defense is israel. >> ainsley: sergio, let me get you in, because you are a republican. how are you feeling about this next election? will trump get your vote. >> trump is going to get my vote

because i believe he is going to be the nominee. look, in terms of age, what i like it see someone like desantis based on the fact that his policies or whatever he does is gonna -- he is going to live through them? yes. but, at the end of the day, i thought president trump did a really good job when he was the president of this country. i'm not going to -- the issues with trump that i heard were he is too busy on twitter. listen, that doesn't affect me. that doesn't bother me. do you know what i do? don't read it. the fact is my family, my business was better when donald trump was the president of this country. >> ainsley: okay. madeline? >> mean tweet. >> ainsley: let me get madeline she hasn't spoken yet. madeline, you are a democrat. >> 40-year democrat. >> ainsley: voted for trump the first time. >> and i'm going to vote for him again. >> trump is a brand. trump is a household name.

under trump i agree with the gentleman behind me, you know, regular average everyday working people were able to save a couple of dollars in the bank. maybe go on a vacation every two years. didn't have to worry so much about, you know, the price of food. the price of gas. right now, $4.69 for a gallon of gas. no one can afford that you know, we can't even afford to put food in our house. and we work every single day. you know, what has happened under biden as the middle class have been pushed down to the working poor, and the working poor have been pushed down to the working dirt poor. so, this is what we see happening. aall the rest of this stuff, all this noise, all this distraction are just acts of symbolism, all right, to get people excited and play on people's emotions and fear. all right? fear does not come from god. all right? we need to look at what's really, really happening in our everyday life and de were we ber

off three or four years ago than we are today? all right. and it's a direct result of the leadership or lack of leadership, all right. not just in washington, d.c., all across the board. you know, we have failed, weak leadership is what's happening here. they are failing the american taxpayer, the american voter. they are just failing us all the way around. >> ainsley: all right. thank you, guys. we are going to continue to talk it b. you all, brian. i don't have time to get back to you. i think brian or steve is going to interview in the next hour. so sorry about that. okay. americans are already facing major travel headaches ahead of thanksgiving with thousands of flights delayed in the past few days due to severe weather. janice dean is tracking the maps but, first, let's go to the fox business correspondent jeff flock who is in philadelphia at the international airport there to talk about travel. hey, jeff. >> hey, good morning. perfect timing on this storm, unfortunately. we expect this is going to be the bidsiest flying thanksgiving

that we have ever seen. you know, we talk about the economy. but people apparently have money to travel. take a look at the numbers. according to the department of transportation, 30 million people will fly this thanksgiving holiday. that's the roughly 10 days around the thanksgiving holiday. huge. and, of course, this comes as janice will tell you, there is trouble brewing. yeah. all the way up and down the eastern seaboard. and so, secretary buttigieg yesterday, the transportation secretary says we think we're ready but we can't control the weather. i think the only good news, according to aaa is that, perhaps, it will move quickly through. listen. >> going to be very, very brilliant, i think, if that's the right word. maybe not a good word for this situation. but it's going to have an impact for sure. i don't think it will be long-duration. and if it happens mostly overnight, that will be a good

thing. >> busy out at the airports, but not overwhelming at this point. here's the latest numbers on cancellations and delays. just got them from our friends at flight aware. 17 cancellations so far today. 366 delays. you know, last year at this time, it was just a disaster at thanksgiving. this year, fingers crossed. should be better. we'll see. >> ainsley: we hope so. thank you, jeff. >> steve: fingers crossed. thank you, sir. now, let's talk about the weather with senior meteorologist janice dean for the fox weather forecast. janice, you are outside here in new york. it's the calm before the storm. >> lawrence: is that a football field? >> janice: yes. i am at a football field. and we're going to be talking about the directors band performing at the macy's thanksgiving day parade. but, of course, we have to talk about the weather. it is the calm before the storm here in weehawken, new jersey. we have an area of low pressure that's currently across the great lakes, along the cold front is where we are getting the trouble.

we had tornado reports yesterday in parts of central louisiana in towards mississippi. and more of the same today. so there will be severe weather watches and probably tornado watches as well. and that's going to cause some big travel issues. if you live anywhere across the eastern seaboard, and you are traveling today by air or by car, i need you to pay very close attention to the weather. and if you have to stay put, that's the best case scenario in some of these areas, because it is going to be a dangerous travel day for millions of folks. so, fox weather.com for your latest details. let's go over and talk to a very important person, v.i.p. john watters, the band director's marching band. we are excited about the macy's thanksgiving day parade. >> we are. good morning. >> janice: good morning. >> what a great day! >> janice: it is great day. we have a storm on the way that's why we are talking about weather. thanksgiving we have great forecast. temperatures in the 50's. tell me about this 400-member band. >> this is a face of music education in america. these are 400 band directors,

ranging in age from fresh out of college to 80 years old. >> janice: oh my. >> they have taught in their careers hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of students. and they're the music men and the music women in their communities across the country. we have come here to the great city of new york for this great parade. and this is the embodiment of music education in america. >> janice: how did you get the phone call that you were going to be taking part in this. >> this band marched in the 2022 tournament of roses. the rose parade. and the macy's folks called us and said will you come to new york? and we said of course we will. >> janice: are people excited? >> these folks are excited. we have got people from the north-most part of alaska. we have got people from the south-most part of florida. and everywhere in between. and they are just thrilled to be here. >> janice: what about yourself? >> this is an honor of my career. to be with my colleagues, marching down the street in new

york, and playing for america. these are america's band directors. and they represent all of what is great about music education in our country. >> janice: i can't wait to see you guys at the macy's thanksgiving day parade. you are going to give us a sneak peek of some of the songs you are going to be performing later on in the show? >> absolutely. if you want to learn to march, you can march with us. >> janice: that's an invitation i cannot refuse. steve, ainsley, l.j., brian you are going to see me marching in the next hour. >> brian: what instrument will you play? >> ainsley: i think a tuba. >> janice: tuba? >> ainsley: i like the tuba. what was yours, the clarinet? >> brian: yeah. i never was in a marching band. >> steve: i played saxophone. >> ainsley: i was violin orchestra. >> lawrence: my mom always wanted me to play. >> steve: it's not too late. >> carley: i played violin.

>> ainsley: we could play hot cross buns or mary had a little lamb. >> brian: let's talk about transgender swimming because it's been five minutes. [laughter] >> brian: that was my transition. >> ainsley: thanksgiving table. >> steve: janice is out in new jersey. a couple miles up the road is ramapo college of new jersey. >> brian: they have a swimming team. >> steve: in fact that swimming pool is where my daughter sally actually swam when she was on the swimming team at her high school. >> brian: they have a men and women's swimming team. >> steve: here's the thing. there's this biological male over the last three years had been swimming on the men's team. >> lawrence: wasn't very good. >> steve: but this year he started to identify as transgender. >> brian: and then what happened? >> steve: and then now is he identifying as a transgender person and is he breaking records -- she is breaking records left and right. meghan cortez-fields won first place in the 100-yard butterfly

dallas, in a swim meet. >> ainsley: college puts this on x. it's since been deleted. records are off the chart right now. meghan mega tron cortez has broken the 100 butterfly record with 57.22. that's like unheard of. that's a really good time. but, biologically, male, now identifying as a female and she is on the girl's team. the women's team. and then riley gaines finds out about this and she starts getting on social media and getting involved. then they took down the post and riley gaines says women are being asked to smile and step aside. allow these men into our teams all the while string us of opportunities, privacy, and safety. >> brian: it's unbelievable. rand paul put this out defining why they deleted the -- ramapo put this out. deleted by a peer who wanted to protect their teammate from insulting comments on the post. continue to post team and student athlete achievements for

a. these on the website. we should start listing fourth and fifth now. that would be the case if it was all women. >> lawrence: does everyone ever ask the question why you never see the other way around where there is -- where biological females that switch over to the male sport? >> ainsley: because you would lose. >> lawrence: because you would lose. there is nothing fair about any of this. and i just find it appalling that some of the women are being made to be silent about the issue if they don't do -- >> ainsley: i don't care what you do in your personal life. >> lawrence: go for it. >> ainsley: i love everybody. this is america. can you do whatever you want. but, when it comes to fairness. >> brian: sports. >> ainsley: exactly. that's the issue here. >> steve: this person told the ramapo news that she really admired lia thomas, who won the ncaa. >> lawrence: who also sucked as a biological male and then went over to the female side. >> steve: this person said i had a fear of succeeding because i didn't want what happened to her

to happen to me. >> brian: brian fear of success by winning? i don't know. interesting way of fearing success. >> steve: all right. 8 minutes before the top of the hour on this tuesday. coming up, florida governor's ron desantis going to join us live from a diner in new hampshire where i bet they have got bacon. >> brian: spiraling migrant crisis and out-of-control budget. new york city mayor eric adams says "not my fault." >> tell me all the time when they stop me on the subway system. don't yell at me. yell at d.c. yell at d.c.nigh ♪ when he totally kills it at his improv class's graduation performance. knees will be slapped. suds will be sprayed. people won't know what hurts more: their cheeks, or their sides. that's why he's already keeping himself in-shape and razor sharp today with health tips and wellness tools from aarp. to help make sure his health lives as long as he does.
