really hard. there is a lot of stakes now forefitting during the conference season is one thing, but now the stakes are much higher. >> carley: they certainly are. sia, thank you very much for joining us this morning. we will be watching this story following along with you. we appreciate you joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> carley: you are very welcome. >> todd: astronauts on the iss on what food they will be eating 254 miles above earth. >> let me see. we have got brestle. >> sardines. >> brussel sprouts. butter nut squash, apples and spice. >> smoked turkey. >> and smoked turkey it's going to be delicious. >> just to be clear, there's not a smoker in space, is there? >> nothing like freeze dried smoked turkey. >> regardless of what you are seating, have a happy thanksgiving, "fox & friends" begins. >> carley: right now.

>> brian: all right. 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. it will be november 27th. thanksgiving eve. and this is "fox & friends." steve is off. emily is in for ainsley. and everything else is, well, it's up to you to just be watching us the whole time. we are taking attendance. president-elect trump rolling out more late night picks to join growing team. stocks surge as the country feels a spirit of optimism. >> emily: kamala harris campaign divorce still making excuses for the vice president's not so great interviews. watch. >> the questions were small and processy and about like. >> dumb, just dumb. >> they were not informing. >> lawrence: that group. >> brian: blame the questions. >> lawrence: right. remember the robs? we introduced them to you a few weeks ago. neighbors on opposite sides of the political spectrum. their message of unity this thanksgiving. "fox & friends" starts right now.

and remember mornings are better with friends. >> brian: wow, here we go. the president-elect isn't allowing the shortened holiday week slow him down. picks for the upcoming administration. >> emily: new picks made last night give us a better idea of what trump's second presidency will look like. >> lawrence: doug luzader has the story in washington. >> it was one after another last night the organizational chart beginning to fill in for the incoming trump administration. many of these picks are consistent with positions the president-elect staked out during the campaign. among the new hires, jamison grier as u.s. trade representative. he served during the first trump administration as chief of staff to that same job. so he has experience implementing tariffs, economists kevin hassett will lead the white house national economic council. he served in the first trump term as well. he has been a proponent of tax cuts. he has been critical of the

biden administration's spending habits. >> across everything, prices went up roofn that happened spent money. when the government does that we get inflation. something we learned in the first economics class it's stunning that the biden administration has been in denial about it all the time. >> another hire dr. bae bhattacharya lead the national institutes of health. is he an physician and economist who has been a critic of covid era policies. >> public health has to return to its normal ways and apologize for the tremendous presidents stakes it made during the pandemic. a lot of people embrace of policies that didn't work. >> another development yesterday, there has been a lot of hand wringing over the fact that the incoming trump team had not signed this legal agreement with the biden administration to

begin this begin the meetings with counterparts to begin the formal transfer of power. they have now signed it and move forward with this transition. back to you guys. >> brian: it's official. they are going to take over. i get the sense the bidens want to leave now. >> left the white house already off to nantucket. >> lawrence: he tends to do that. >> brian: stay for free at some rich guy's house. dr. jay bhattacharya really the first time i saw him was on our channel. he was being marginalized and ridiculed and shadow banned with the pandemic. i think a lot of these nominations are going to a look back at where we were in 2020. and we are going to end up debating the merits of the mandates and the -- and the effectiveness of this -- of the, you know, of the coronavirus, how they handled it and the effectiveness of the vaccine. >> lawrence: the shutdowns as well. that's the key when you look at

his entire health team, emily, everyone started at a position of caution. because we hadn't never seen anything like this before. but, as the pandemic continued and the shutdowns and lockdowns and the forcing of vaccines on people. then we saw these voices like. bhattacharya. nesheiwat and matter makary and now all of them are in the administration is. >> emily: i appreciate economist as though silenced people expertise. there is no way someone could be a physician and also have common sense and also have a grasp of the bloated bureaucracy that the nih and those institutes were and are. so here is someone that comes in like a breath of fresh air from stanford university. from a campus and elite academic institution and yet has that common sense approach. has advocated for iss efficiencd

leaning out agencies and institutions. we reported on the vast sort of squandering of all of our tax dollars at these agencies and now here is coming in a physician protect the vulnerable. here is common sense and here is how to save your tax dollars while doing it. >> brian: i know we want to move on and talk about the democrats and where they are going from here. operation warp speed was a success. >> lawrence: it was. >> brian: but the mandatesy a white house with the new administration. ridiculed for people not taking it. fascinating nomination process. scientists against scientists where scientists against politician. and good luck with that. >> lawrence: there is going to be debate again. remember during that period of time the debate was shut down when you have the experts do you thinking it out there. is going to be a change now. meanwhile, kamala harris finally left for vacation. and decided to speak to the supporters because there is a lot of controversy about how she spent the money on the campaign. here's the vice president. >> the outcome of this election,

obviously, is not what we wanted. it is not what we worked so hard for. but i am proud of the race we ran. that you knocked on doors. you called friends. you called in favors. you said hey, you know, i showed up at your softball game, now i need you to show up at the campaign office. because of your efforts, get this, we raised an historic $1.4 billion and i know this is an uncertain time. i'm clear-eyed about that. i know you are clear-eyed about it. and it feels heavy. and i just have to remind you don't you ever let anybody take your power from you. >> brian: i don't know what that means take power from me what are you talking about? you lost? so you are out of power. whatever you want. it's so strange to see her bragging about the billion dollars knowing you still need about 20 million to pay off your

debt and knowing they were spending like drunken sailors at the end and no one really in charge. i'm a little shocked that david plouffe would be a part of an operation who ran two successful campaigns for president obama and everybody with all their experience. and she had no message. and she couldn't figure out where to separate herself from joe biden. 107 days. there is disadvantage. you are not scarred. you don't have any democrats beating you up. and the hope everyone is union need find. that money in my view, emily was a lot against trump. she just happened to be a recipient of it. >> emily: accountability for what occurred. puppet at the democratic party. here, check a couple boxes so we will throw you up on this campaign as a vice president. she certainly hasn't proved anything. we talk about the power of money. well, where is her receipts for the 2.5 million celebrities that mean nothing to the american people care about the american people.

we don't care what oprah tells us. >> brian: evidently al sharpton? trouble at msnbc. they say the standards of a talk show host getting $500,000 from a campaign to interview the candidate. i wonder how that interview is going to go. >> lawrence: we found out afterwards. we're not the only one criticizing the way she spent money. a mega donor for the democratic party is furious. watch. >> i think this disqualifies her forever, forever. if you can't run a campaign, you can't run america. same thing is going to follow harris for the rest of her career. she cannot be trusted with the money. and the donors are going to be like where is this money? >> lawrence: basic math. return on investment. i don't think it's just about that she did not win. it's where they intent the money and we are going to get into this podcast. i listened to the whole thing yesterday. as someone that grew up in the democratic party.

they're such great tacticians but to hear some of the rhetoric coming from them. they have learned absolutely nothing. >> brian: john morgan said i'm giving to the campaign with chris cuomo who i guess he don't united states to andrew. so they know each other well. he said one thing i asked is what is going on with the money? what are you doing with the money? >> i'm buying anytime florida? why are you buying ad time in florida? why not do alabama you? are not going to win florida. what happens is if you work campaign, you get a commission when you buy ads. so they are looking to buy ads to get their commission to cash. in you can't have selfish people working for you. >> emily: think about how the democratic party really wielded by the power of the donor. contrast that with the trump campaign wielded and pushed by the power of the people. we had george clooney come out and effectively remove the president from candidacy and now we have these mega donors coming and saying you squandered my money you don't belong in politics anymore.

we knew she didn't belong in politics a lot before that because she had no experience to speak of rather than speaking and pat logically lying. the dollars that drive the democratic party ideology and decisions only. versus the g.o.p. that fights for you. >> lawrence: you want to give an interview after -- give a postmortem. you think it would go to traditional media outlet. that way they can ask some tough questions. instead, the obama crew, that ran kamala harris campaign, went to the obama bros, which were the speech writers, the comms team. >> pod save america. and this is what they had to say. >> we would do an interview and the questions were small and processy and. dumb.just dumb. >> not informing a voter trying to listen to learn more or understand that does a disservice to voters. and being up against a narrative that we weren't doing anything or we were afraid to have interviews is completely [bleep]

and also like to a little bit. gave us another thing we had to fight back for that trump never had to worry about. >> brian: look. everyone could look back. this is the time to be honest. >> lawrence: you have nothing to lose. >> brian: midterms. when she says she blames the people for asking small questions that, is the funniest thing i have ever heard in my life. i blame the friendly questions that we got from friendly journalists. >> lawrence: layups. >> brian: 77% of your coverage was positive. something like 85 of all of trump's is negative. you blame the questions. if you get a question of what is it going to take to win? that's all i need. if i know what it takes to win and what my vision is, thank you for the easy question. i will take advantage of it. you know with the book interviews. if someone says tell me about under his wings? what a bad question. okay i'm going to tell you about the content of it, it's an opportunity to show yourself. and what she missed is an opportunity to hop on the

podcast, keep on debating the joe rogan podcast. it's the format. the format is i'm not really going to ask you about what you did or joe biden. ask you about you. and are you comfortable talking besides recipes, who else makes you up? why did you get married late? what went into those decisions? what was it like growing up in san francisco? you know with a singling parent? so that's where you have a opportunity to show your personality. if you are self-afacing and humility that's where you have the format. "60 minutes" you answer some questions circuitously and they make you seem smart. they edit your answers. you were complaining? you were cared is to do an interview. you didn't put her in front of cameras until after the dnc.

>> lawrence: so true. they blamed trump actually when it came to that they said look, they were actually trying to do the interview the same day that trump did in houston, they just really couldn't make it work. to brian's point though, they didn't really want to do the interview. there were people within the campaign staff that didn't think that she would shine, a, and number two, as james carville made it very clear, the young people on the campaign, you know, the crazy blue hair, purple hair. they said don't do rogan. >> emily: for someone that effectively attempted to have a her as a leader. by the way she was the current vice president the entire time and yet remains unchallenged, to your point about all of these interviews, everything she said was never challenged. she never had a follow up question. contrast that with president trump during the debate where everyone said it was 3 on 1. everything he said was challenged, twisted, manipulated and pushed back. she had every softball, every option. every opportunity every every t. yet she wants us to believe she

is the victim that the scheduling didn't work out. she can't make something work. you want me to put my faith in you as a commander-in-chief. you think you can trust put nuclear codes with diplomacy with representing me on the national and global stage and you can't even articulate the answer to a softball question as to economic policy or why you flip flopped. >> lawrence: she should have never did the rally in houston there was no shot of winning texas. there was absolutely no shot. it would have been more beneficial to the campaign to do the interview than do that rally in texas. they have this -- just like the poll that was released. >> brian: iowa? >> lawrence: there was no shot at winning iowa. everyone knew it. there was an outlier. they said the same thing about florida. there is a shot. we are seeing some movement. ron desantis has come to nateed in florida for the last election cycle. okay? midterms and his governor's race. so, there was no data to suggest that they had a path there.

but they were telling people this to try to excite -- just like at the convention, brian, they said there is so much joy. there was no joy. no one liked her. and we saw it in every swing state where she lost every single swing state. >> brian: so, i think there's a lot there. i just think that finally the question that destroyed her campaign and everyone agrees was how are you different than joe biden? >> lawrence: oh yeah by sunny hostin. >> brian: in retrospect the questions were too simple. you can't get simpler than that if you can't hit underhand pick why should i give you a fast ball. >> emily: brilliant. >> brian: can we end the show there? >> lawrence: right. >> brian: rain, snow, and shortage of air traffic controllers expected to slow down 80 million americans heading to the airport and hitting the roads ahead of thanksgiving. as you can see. the tsa lines growing at reagan national airport in d.c. you should really get clear.

>> emily: winter storm advisories and warnings in place across 11 states including utah where snow is coming down fast. snowy conditions in northern california and colorado making for a slow go for drivers. >> lawrence: let's check in with our senior meteorologist janice dean for our fox weather forecast. j.d., which is the best time to travel? >> it depends on where you live. so, you know, central u.s. has been pretty good. the west coast has dealt with several storm systems and the east coast is going to be dealing with the next storm system. but the temperatures are cold enough for snow. certainly across the rockies and the northern plains and parts of the upper midwest where we are getting a stream of stormy weather. that's going to be ongoing today depending on where you travel. rain for ohio valley. mississippi river valley. this storm system is the one that is going to bring a very wet thanksgiving day parade for new york city. here is the storm for the lower 48. you know, the rest of the country will take a breather but the east coast is really going to be dealing with a lot of

different types of weather. including snow. maybe a severe storm. and heavy rainfall along the coast. that's through friday. again, certainly a thanksgiving snow storm for parts of the interior northeast. and the rest of the country is relatively quiet for thanksgiving. so hopefully everyone gets to their final destin nation. look at new york city. this is when the parade is going to be happening. it is going to rain. pretty much 100 percent chance of rain on the parade root. balloons should fly. may have to keep them a little bit lower. no gusty winds just rainy. >> lawrence: still watch the parade. >> janice: of course. >> brian: i look forward to underdog. >> janice: new balloons too, mini house and something else. oh, bluey balloon carley for the save. >> lawrence: she is not bluey. she is carley shimkus.

>> brian: longest audition ever. how long does it -- what makes you decide this is the perfect year for minnie mouse? minnie mouse has been around for 60 years. >> carley: not a new character. only balloon you i care about is the pillsbury dough boy, i don't know why, iconic, classic. rolling down sixth avenue big belly. all right we got some more news to get to. starting with. this new report shows the number of afghan and chinese nationals coming through a key migrant crossing in panama has surged since 2021. the report founded number of afghan migrants crossing through the darien gap increased from 98 between 2010 and 2020 to over 8,000. crossings of chinese migrants hoping to reach the u.s. have increased from 2 # 9 to nearly 40,000 people in the same time period. overall migrant crossings soared from 115,000 to nearly 1.2 million. look at those numbers. newly released body cam footage

from chicago police show the moment a cook county official is questioned for dui after a crash and the democrat flaunts her government position before being cuffed. >> hey, ma'am, dew points me to handcuff you and arrest you? >> no. >> because right now at this point you are refusing to provide me any -- >> -- i am. >> you are. you realize that, right? >> yes. i'm an elected official. >> you are what the? >> i don't want any of this. >> you were involved in an accident. you hit several cars. >> i'm an elected gloicial i actually do. >> elected final of what? >> cook county. >> carley: not several, just two cars. samantha steel was arrested and charged. police say she refused sobriety test and open bottle of wine was found in her car. actress sharon stone blasting the state of our country of president-elect trump's election win. >> my country is in adolescence. adolescence thinks it knows

everything. adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant and we are in our ignorant arrogant adolescence. we haven't seen this before in our country. >> carley: the basic instinct star's remarks came at the same eye tall yawlian telephone where alec baldwin said americans are very uninformed about reality. arizona grandma and stranger she mistakenly texted in 2016 will celebrate their ninth thanksgiving together. text grandson to come over but texted a random teenager instead. when they realized the mistake she insisted they join their family and turned it into a yearly tradition. this thanksgiving will be extra special since she was recently diagnosed with cancer. >> we said this would be a great idea to have a complete stranger from some place else and join us

and hopefully it would catch on and hopefully he would have experience. maybe invite a stranger to his thanksgiving. >> now he, the young adult will be hosting grandma at his house tomorrow. i feel like i have watched this guy grow up. because we do this story every year. turned into a handsome young man. >> emily: i feel whenever i get mistaken texts they are not sweet grandmas. i love this story so much. >> carley: it's adorable. >> lawrence: i can't believe it's been nine years. i remember when we first covered this story. >> carley: still doing it. >> lawrence: that's love. >> brian: everybody text a stranger and invite them over. should we do that. >> carley: do a background check first. >> lawrence: i'm not advocating for that let's let this one story be the story of the stranger. >> brian: now we have a question for the people. >> lawrence: what is your favorite thanksgiving pie and what is the secret -- i brought pie to the whole crew this morning. >> emily: which was delicious i

had some. so good. >> lawrence: secret family recipe as well. ememail us at friends@foxnews.c. >> emily: my favorite pumpkin and the secret, everybody, is nutmeg yes, and yes. >> brian: that's good for the eggnog latte, too. definitely calories. >> lawrence: do you eat pie? >> brian: not a big pie. my family made us used to have mince pie. do you know what i'm talking about. >> emily: entree pie like a shepherd's pie. >> brian: i would say pecan and pumpkin under appreciated. >> lawrence: what did you call it p-can or pecan? >> brian: p-can. >> lawrence: you are such a new yorker. most of the pecans come from texas. >> brian: say it right. >> lawrence: just like we say houston and you say houseton.

where does that come from? >> emily: tastes the same which is totally delicious what is your favorite. >> lawrence: pecan. not even close. >> emily: two pecans and secret is nutmeg. tell us your secret favorite ingredients. >> brian: this has become the place to be that tree on christmas season. so don't be last. get here now.

♪ >> brian: a fox news alert. a cease-fire deal between israel and hezbollah going into effect overnight. benjamin hall joins us live with more. benjamin, is it holding? >> ben: so far yes it is, there has been firings on hezbollah cars. they say that is being controlled at the moment. the cease-fire we have talked about for a few months been negotiated for a few months and should bring a 60 day cease-fire to the war israel and heads. we saw celebrations across lebanon yesterday not the least because the day before saw the heaviest israeli bombing of beirut since this war began. the terms of the cease-fire are as follows.

take place over sixth days. israeli troops will withdraw and lebanese troops will replace hezbollah. the u.s. and france violations as well as the u.n., and israel can defend itself in case the of of violations, hezbollah have agreed to withdraw north of the litani river, 18 miles from israel that is the same agreement they reached in 2006. with some critics now saying hezbollah didn't abide back then. so why give them the breathing space now. many others, however, are supporting it. >> it's a product of how u.s. government and our government and the lebanese government but i think the essential point to understand is that this deal was enabled by the fact that israel significantly degraded hezbollah over the last few months. hezbollah is much weaker than it used to be. >> benjamin: there are benefits to both sides as you just heard. israel totally degraded leadership including nasrallah

killed. exmotions thousands of them. iran doesn't want to lose most important proxy. on the israeli side the aim was to get the 60,000 displaced israelis back home and this allows that. they are fighting on four fronts and large scale one. benjamin sit back and rearm. with hamas is another question. president biden said yesterday he hoped and pray and said he thought there would be one before the end of his term. hamas also open to it as well. leadership saying today they were open to a cease-fire. so, good news inside lebanon at the moment. certainly for hezbollah. remains to be seen if hamas can also reach a cease-fire as well. brian? >> brian: fascinating time, benjamin. thanks so much. shows you what strength can do to bring peace. jim hanson chief editor of middle east forum served in the u.s. special forces. who does the cease-fire work for? >> it works best for iran and

hezbollah and hamas may being the odd man out here because israel is going to go back hard at them to try to finish that war. i mean, cease-fires are good and this was a result of the biden administration putting a soft embargo on some of the munitions and other supplies that israel needed so she couldn't fight a two-front war. i think it's a sign of how desperate they are to have some sort of accomplishment in an otherwise dismal set of failures that's been their foreign policy. >> brian: i understand, too. hamas has never been -- they immediately -- the day of the october 7th attack, immediately israel starts thinking we're going to go into gaza. october 8th, hezbollah shelling starts. 60,000 people eventually have to evacuate north of their country. if those 60,000 can go back and they can get the idf a break. what do you think this does for the hostages, the pursuit, what do you think it means for iran who has had their nuclear

program damaged and their missile defense destroyed? >> i think the biggest win for israel is if their people can return to their homes in northern israel. if hezbollah withdraws north of the litani river which there was a u.n. resolution 1701 requiring that and at lebanese government and army actually enforce that, which the u.s. can make them do. we pay them a lot of money, so if we use that money as leverage and force them to stay up there. then israel gets those 100,000 plus people returning home. that's great. then they can go ahead. and as i mentioned. finish the war against hamas and then start figuring out what the end game is with iran. ideally, the people of iran decide they need a better government and go ahead and remove the mullahs themselves then everyone can go ahead and breathe a little easier. >> brian: jim, not a good time to be the grand ayatollah. maximum pressure about to come back. radar has been destroyed. nuclear program has been damaged.

and they are out of two big body guards, hamas and hezbollah are flat on their backs. not a good time for -- that iranian government. >> you are giving me all that joyous vibe there, brian, i like the way that sounds grand ayatollah and the rest of the leadership of the republic should be worried. they failed. they put all their chess pieces into play in israel seven-plus front war and they have failed miserably. hezbollah got wiped out essentially entire leadership taken off the board. hamas on last legs. houthis will catch their trouble later. they are the ones that have to be wondering how much time they have got left and israel was light on the places they hit. they hit one nuke site that wasn't declared. i think they need to be worried about the rest of their toys in the homeland there. >> lawrence: sometimes you have to have war to get peace. jim hanson thanks so much. incoming border czar tom homan

the program. i want to play this soundbite of your mayor in boston. this is what she had to say. this is what tom homan was speaking. to say let's watch it? >> look, elections have consequences ant the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions and cities -- no individual city can reverse or override some parts of that but what we can do is make sure that we are doing our part to protect our residents in every possible way that we are not cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear. >> lawrence: so obviously nationwide, donald trump is going in with a mandate. the american people by and large want mass deportations. i'm just curious for that area, do they feel the same way as the mayor or are they more in line with the country? >> look, massachusetts is always going to be to the left of the country. if you look at our local elections this presidential cycle, republicans made gains in the state legislature in a way that has never happened in a

presidential year. i take that to be mandate to deal with immigration in the state. it's costing the state over a billion dollars. huge infrastructure problem. you know, just where do you people people operationally. so, yeah. people are shifting to the right on immigration in massachusetts, believe it or not. >> lawrence: i remember when i was on the ground in boston. i'm in front of this rec center that is supposed to be for disadvantaged young people, mostly minority. this mother ends up coming up to me, speaking to me. she is furious because she used the rec center to keep her kids out of trouble. and i feel like this immigration issue has become localized for the states that are not considered border states, right? >> right. now the immigration crisis is a national crisis. looking at that footage from eagle pass, i was there in 2022 with dps with national guard. same folks you were seeing on the clip earlier. at that time everyone was scoffs at texas and border states saying stop complaining this is bigoted to complain about this. now the blue states are dealing

with the same issue and sort of asking for the same help. and, look, if massachusetts law enforcement isn't going to cooperate. sis still going to have to carry out mandate. this is just a return to normalcy. what we had under this administration was not normal. usually i mean, deportations under the obama administration were 1.5 million. about 1.3 million the second time around. trump 1.2 million. this is a return to normalcy. >> obviously the voters have evolved on this issue as you just noted. do you feel like the democratic elected officials will pivot as the people are clearly frustrated with what is happening in their communities now. >> well, they are pivoting if you read between the lines, for example, you have massachusetts governor maura healey saying we are not going to cooperate with deportations in the background they are trying to decrease shelter stays from nine months to six months. they see the practical limitations it's just a matter of how many progressive feathers can you ru68.

>> lawrence: this is more pr. they don't want to openly agree with trump behind the scenes okay maybe we are willing to give over the criminals. but we just don't want to say this publicly to tick off our progressive allies. >> that might be part of it, yes. in massachusetts you still have ice rounding up immigrants with criminal background but they are still not getting cooperation sphrims massachusetts law enforcement it. depends. >> lawrence: have you been great on the campaign trail. we look forward to seeing your reports in the future. thank you so much, careen. >> thanks. >> lawrence: trump vs. trendfully trump vs. harris yard signs. message of unity ahead of thanksgiving. that's next. ♪ ♪ lowe's knows when it comes to the holidays... everything has to be seamless. save on lg's first ever zero-clearance refrigerator

>> emily: we first introduced you to our next guest a few weeks ago during the height of election season. two neighbors, rob and supported trump and rob anderson supported harris. they faced off for the most festive yard in a friendly competition that the neighborhood dubbed the battle of the robs. and with thanksgiving tomorrow, we can all use a little unity before gathering around the dinner table. both robs join us now. rob and rob b. you guys are so sweet and sitting next to each other. first of all, what do your yards look like now and talk to me about being around the thanksgiving table together. >> we both have taken everything out of the yard. i have one flag up. but, yeah, within 10 days we had cleaned it all up and gotten rid of everything. >> yep. all the campaign signs, all the flags. everything has been taken down. i pretty much took my down the day after the election. but, you know, as i was taking

signs down i was pretty much getting feedback from all the neighbors. everybody had positive comments both trump supporters and harris supporters. so everybody had something to say that they appreciated, you know, all our friendly competition and all. it was a great campaign. >> emily: yeah, talk to me about what that meant to the neighborhood to have while you were both staunch and opposite sides of the aisle to be friends still and to be friendly about your political views and about your positions? >> i think it was a good showing of being peaceful and helpful and civility within the neighborhood. it's like it used to be. where our vote doesn't define the person. it's just who we think is the best candidate at the time. but, i have gotten more handshakes and hugs and hellos as of late than i probably had in the last three or four years. >> emily: that's sweet.

>> while i was taking down the signs, a lot of neighbors came by. you know, shaking hands, again, you know, and, you know, telling me about, you know, they sympathized with the loss, my candidate lost, but there was one neighbor who stopped by and she was a trump supporter. and she did stop by and told me it's like, you know, i'm really sorry that your candidate lost. but, you know, it's like you put a lot of effort in. and then as she was driving away, she reached out the window and she told me but we still love you. you know. so, that was very heart warming to hear that you know. so, it's still everybody just comes together, you know, the neighborhood, everybody is still positive, regardless of their political background. >> emily: yeah. i think, importantly, the common demon nature is likely that you are both cardinal fans, right? sports politics what is your

message for thanksgiving especially to people who might not be feeling so unified or feeling so friendly stward someone on the other side of the political aisle i would say, you know, we have got to back the incoming candidate or the incoming administration. you know, we lost -- our candidate lost and she graciously conceded. but we just have to move forward. so, you know, i just say, you know, let's just be positive and, you know, support the incoming candidates. >> emily: and for the next question that might divide the country. it is are your christmas decorations up? or is it too early? ha ha ha. >> it's a little early but going up pretty soon. i got them out of the garage and they are ready to go. it will an if he has been corner for sure. >> it will be the battle of the

robs for the christmas. >> christmas edition. >> emily: have you back in a couple weeks. we will be looking at that thank you for modeling and representing that unity that american spirit. god bless you both. and happy thanksgiving. >> god bless. >> absolutely, thank you much, and have a happy thanksgiving to all. >> emily: brian? >> brian: thank you very much. america is coming together. one family at a time. hey, let's talk a little bit of sports. f 1 superstar driver lewis hamilton is living out his fantasy as he begins astronaut training gets the chance to take to the skies in a fighter jet first. >> and we slowly rotate off now if you want to lift the gear for us.
