Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas News Headquarters 20201121

And well put that together, mark. Good afternoon to you. The coronavirus would top the g20. And theyre looking for a vaccine just like in the United States. Weve seen a screen shot of the president participating in a zoom meeting with World Leaders. Very 2020. The president is at his golf club. Weve seen him saying he won the election claiming victory even though there hasnt been voter fraud around the country. We heard from the press secretary who says the results they have a result to question at this point. It was not an orderly transition that he was given and now, its voters simply ask questions about a fraught lent mailin Ballot System were told were crazy and subverting democracy. The hypocrisy is real. Republicans on capitol hill are not thrilled that this process keeps getting dragged out. Utah senator mitt romney criticizing the president s meeting with michigan lawmakers as they get ready to certify on monday. Having failed to make a case of wide spread conspiracy hes at t the its worse or more unfitting action by an american president. Yet to hear how it went with the representatives from michigan. They put out their own statement that said they did not see anything that would change the election. The state leader in michigan as well as the Republican Party called on delays before monday seeing if they can get another recount around the detroit area, unclear if thats going to happen. But a lot of states are moving forward with certification even as the president claims that he won the election in michigan and elsewhere. Leland the quote from two michigan legislators who met with president , were going to follow the normal process. It is 2020 after all. Thank you. President elect joe biden working to put together his cabinet and could name his top picks, Hillary Vaughan has more on the top runners for the post. Hi, hillary. Hi, alicia. President elect joe biden already said he made his up his mind for treasury secretary. And axios is reporting other picks. Here is on the short list for secretary of state. Former ambassador susan rice, ambassador william burns, senator chris murphy, Anthony Blinken and senator chris coons, who was asked by fox this week if he was it. Am i the next secretary of state . Youre talking to an engaged senator from delaware who is looking forward to the tran r transition. One position left left lipping erring lingering is labor secretary, and Bernie Sanders made it clear he would like the job. His own colleagues in the senate are not jumping at the chance to praise him as a potential pick. Senator who was on earlier, dodged when he was asked what he thought as Bernie Sanders for labor secretary . We have a deep bench in the biden cabinet. I have confidence that Joe Biden Cabinet will reflect this nation and the priorities that hes campaigned on during the president ial campaign. And president elect biden was also asked directly by fox this week if there was room in his cabinet for Bernie Sanders. But he, too, refused to answer the question. Alicia. Hillary vaughan in delaware. Thanks, hillary. Lela leland. Leland protests right know you in atlanta, just a day after Georgia Election officials have certified the results there. Live pictures right now outside of the Georgia State capitol. Right there noon in alanta. The president s supporters have gathered and you can see the pro trump signs and flag waving and the Confederate Flag waving as well. And Charles Watson with more on what these folks want. Hi, charles. Good afternoon leland. You can zoo you can see dozens of Trump Supporters and stop the steal rally is underwayment lets look at some of them behind me, theres a truck in the way, but theres been sort of like a parade going on. Folks coming and honking their horns. There are lines of Trump Supporters up and down the street with trump 2020 signs, american flags and you have a lot of folks with stop the steal signs alluding to the idea that this election was somehow stolen from President Trump. Now, you know, as i mentioned, these folks believe that this election was stolen from the president. They believe things like dead people voted or that votes were somehow tossed, those are all unsubstantiated claims that have largely been amplified by the president himself. There is a push among the supporters for Governor Brian Kemp to sort of call some sort of special election to sort of get a rein on claims of voter fraud, again, those are claims that have been that are unsubstantiated. And secretary of state raften berger repeatedly defended the election and audit completed earlier this week so not exactly clear what the supporters expect to happen in the way of another recount or audit, but certainly, theres a lot of Police Presence out here so far, things have been peaceful, but again, there are there is a counter protest just around the corner with folks who have long rifles, so, there is a some, you know, high tensions out here. Weve seen a little bit of a verbal spat between the two sides already so again, Law Enforcement out here keeping an eye on things, but so far largely peaceful, guys. Leland we can hear the helicopters above you and looking down at the capitol square, you mentioned a lot of Law Enforcement and were seeing that as well. Back to brian kemp, who is the georgia governor, he gave an interview and Greg Bluestein has been a guest on the show. A quote from brian kemp, i understand why hes frustrated, hes a fighter, meaning the president of the United States, ive got to follow the laws of this state and thats exactly what im doing, brian kemp the governor of georgia. Is there anger at brian kemp for certifying the results and Going Forward with the process or request to change things for the special election that could decide control of the senate . Im a little among the supporters out here we havent seen any folks who have directly directed their anger towards the governor, but again, there is a push for him to sort of take some sort of action to sort of, you know they say there are claims there is some sort of voter fraud, unsubstantiated claims and they want the governor to do something about that. And they are at the State Capitol to put pressure on the governor. Again, not clear what if anything that the governor could do about another recount or if that will change the Election Results out here, but these guys are at least trying to make something happen. Leland continuing with some of the governor quotes, republicans have always done a good job of fighting hard and beating each other up and coming back together not only for republicans in georgia, but around the country. Looks like, charles, the crowd is beginning to grow by the minute. We had it was scheduled to start at noon eastern. Well check with you in the next couple of hours, thank you, sir. Thank you. And were going to continue discussion. Joining us now is republican georgia congressman and member of the House Oversight committee, thank you for being here today. Appreciate it. So much has happened in the past 24 hours as leland and charles were just discussing. This vote has been certified in georgia by both the secretary of state and by the governor, but also, we had a tweet this morning from the president saying that there was big voter fraud coming out of georgia, stay tuned. And within the last half hour, the lt. Governor of your state, a republican says that it appears that biden has secured the vote in georgia. So where do things stand in your eyes at this point . Listen, there are so many irregularities and problems with the election in georgia and it all started when the secretary of state stamped out an application for absentee ballots to everyone on the Voter Registration list. We know, we know at least 5 to 10 of that list is inaccurate. So, we have applications going out, a very simple application to hundreds of thousands of voters potentially tens and tens of thousands, certainly, who are not legal voters, and those requests arrive in someones mailbox. But, congressman, excuse me, youre talking about inaccuracies and the president is talking fraud. Are you talking about the same thing . Its fraudulent for someone who is illegal in this state to fill out that application and receive a ballot and turn it back in. And to are anyone to think that that did not happen is lunacy. It has happened. In addition to that we did not do a good job at verifying the signatures in this thing. It was there are all sorts of problems that were involved in this election that need to be dived into. We just simply have a recount. We have not had an audit and hopefully when the recount is requested by the president and their team, they will be able to begin to in some degree of audit of the actual ballots and well see what that reveals, but theres no question, there have been some major loopholes in the legal potential of voting and in that theres been tremendous potential for fraud in this state and we need to make sure that that did not happen. As you know, the secretary of state of georgia, a republican stand by the work thats been done in his state with regard to the vote and he defended himself just before the certification came out. Take a listen. Im a passionate conservative and as ive said before im a proud Trump Supporters, with him early in the 2016 election cycle. As secretary of state, i believe the numbers that we have presented today are correct. The numbers reflect the verdict of the people, not a decision by the secretary of states office, or of courts, or of either campaigns. As you know, congressman, this man has come under a tremendous amount of heat from republicans themselves all the way up to the presidency. Is there a risk that your Party Looks Like its eating its own . No, what needs to happen is we make sure that the debacle of this past election is not repeated with the Senate Election and the areas where there was were there were openings for fraud that those are closed, that we abide by the law, that only legal ballots are counted and only legal ballots are submitted. That obviously in my opinion did not happen. There were, i think all of us in the republican congressional delegation had a personal conversation with the secretary of state in march urging him not to send applications for absentee ballots to everyone on the Voter Registration list. We knew that this was going to be the outcome, that he didnt listen to our visor advice of many others and he did it anyway and as a result weve had a disaster in this election, and it will be repeated in january with the senate race unless we close the doors on some of the potential illegal activity that took place. Weve got to assure that the voters of georgia, that their vote counts. Weve got to ensure them that this election is not rigged and that do that, weve got to close the doors on some of the cracks that were in the door this time, they ever raised so many questions and i hope the secretary of state and others around with him will take appropriate measures to ensure that this next election is as fair as possible and only legal ballots submitted. Congressman, we will continue to watch this. Im sorry, were running out of time and we didnt get to talk about the Senate Runoff going on in your senate which everybody is talking about as well. Really appreciate your time today. Well continue to watch georgia. Have a good one. And be sure to catch Fox News Sunday tomorrow, Chris Wallace has an exclusive interview with dr. Tom ingelsby, Health Center at Johns Hopkins. Check your local listings for time and channel and ho howie kirtz will take a look at the growing number of coronavirus cases, thats media buzz and hes also join us in our next hour. Leland back live to atlanta as news warrants, Vandenberg Base in california minutes away from the launch of nasas newest satellite. And were joined by the chairman of the space history department. The National Space museum. Good to see both of you. As folks at home see this rocket go to work and the satellite, how will that change their life. Its a mission part of a continuous series weve been able to use for the last 28 years to measure sea level. And thats the Sea Level Rise and noaa is using it every day to help improve Weather Forecast and particularly forecasts of hurricanes. Leland all right. Think about the Hurricane Season this past year and with a couple of them, especially that intensified so quickly, think about marco and laura that combined and the massive storm, category form and the massive hurricanes that went in, and through the normal alphabet and through the greek alphabet. How will this track them better . Well be an i believe to look at the sea level and see the heat in the ocean and send that to the forecasters. And thats critical for mapping the rapidly intensifying storm. Were just about a minute away from launch, 9 17 pacific time for it to go up. And i wanted to ask you, margaret, theres been such a change at the air and space museum. Its a place thats special to me, going there with my mom as a little boy and never forget. Im sure a lot of people. How do we move from public exploration to private exploration with spacex and some of the other private firms working on this . Well, those are some of the stories that were excited about telling at the smithsonian and were working on a whole new set of exhibits. The museum is closed due to covid, but were looking forward to include stories like this launch of an earth satellite. Looking at earth and thinking about what that really tells us about living on this planet that is surrounded by constellations of satellites margaret, im going to interrupt you for a second as the rocket goes up. Liftoff the sent the nell6, for all humanity. Leland margaret, back to you on this, is it harder to inspire people with space and aviation because so much has gotten so routine, if you will . I think that space flight is never entirely routine and i think the desire for people to come out and see launches and people would have loved to be at vanderberg. If viewers are on the west coast, they may hear a sonic bomb goes supersonic and we try to bring these to the next generation. Leland reengaging, if you will. Eric, real quick in terms of how this helps with Weather Forecasts in general. Were on the margin, how much does understanding Sea Level Rise and Ocean Temperatures really change what you all are able to do . Well, theyre especially critical as we talked about for hurricane forecasts. In addition to sentinel6 carries for nasa a profile of the atmosphere and use the instrument to track hurricanes from formation until they dissipate. Leland in the path of the hurricanes, we would appreciate anything we could get. Margaret, back to you, what theyre doing in space advertising this launch so people can watch remotely, but how do you keep the inspiration and engagement when people cant come see the apollo 11 lander and some of the other great exhibits you all have . Well, we have a wonderful web and virtual presence. Weve been holding our lectures, which have been very wellattended virtually and i think people love the opportunity from their living room to hear from sonny williams, an astronaut who just had for the glenn lecture. And a chance to come to the website and look for our educational materials for kid doing school at home we have a lot to offer on the web and virtually through our social media channel. And doctor, this is alicia acuna from denver and as we look at these pictures for progress. Why do we go to space to study whats happening in the ocean . A great question and its really because of the view that it gives and the ability to have a complex instrument like this backed by an International Consortium of researchers. Really allows for continual data sets that give us a much better look at climate change, at rising sea levels. If your visitors, your viewers are on a coastline or if they ever like to go to the beach, this is a satellite thats doing science thats very relevant to you. And eric, i have a question for you, because this comes into play when we were talking about environmental problems as well as environmental disasters like oil spills. This gives you hard data, doesnt it . Exactly. The data from sentinel6 will go right into ocean levels with noaa and using those to protect currents, we need those when there are disasters and search and rescue. As mentioned, we are going to use the measurements, sea level doesnt rise at the same rate all over the globe and well need these constant observations to map where sea levels are changing and give that information to the coastal communities so they can better plan for the next decade. Thats just fantastic and im sure Leland Vittert will appreciate a lot of the hurricane data that comes, he tend to find himself in that path. Leland every once in a while. Margaret, as you looked at sort of the track of people being interested in space and space exploration, its been so long since america did anything truly new and different in terms of the overall mission, obviously, we had the shuttle, the interNational Space station, weve got return to flight now with spacex from launching american astronauts from american soil on an american rocket. Is there any thought given from a Historical Perspective on what the next frontier must be . Because we weve heard mars articulated, but not really a kennedyesque challenge issued. I think that people are looking back to the moon. I think that people are looking to mars. Were also looking at all the excellent robotic science thats being done remotely where people are being able to, as researchers think about distant planets, didnt moons, distant galaxies that we can really grasp whats going on there. I think thats an important achievement and no small achievement of having 20 years of human occupation on the interNational Space station. The scientific platform and learning about our bodies in space is important. Leland at some level looking at the pictures never gets old. On that note, eric, how did you get inspired to do what you do . I think in the early days in the Space Shuttle. I wanted to listen in to hear the Space Shuttle talk back to the earth and i wrote a program to figure out where the shuttle would be passing over the earth. That inspired me as you said the view back to earth what we can learn to measure our environment. Leland when youre the Mission Scientist on this, does that mean this satellite is your baby . Looking forward to this for 10 years so its a very emotional day. Leland give knee give me some of your thoughts, how do we know it works. Well check it out and well be checking the data within about section months. Leland wow, well, eric, well be thinking about you next sushg season, at least i will be as im looking at the forecast and remembering this launch. Our thanks to you and all of your fellow scientists and margaret, as well, on behalf of somebody who used to go to aaron space all the time and inspired so much of my life and thanks for the memories and thanks for what youre doing to continue those for so many folks now in the next generation. We look forward to having you and your families back soon. Leland alicia and depending how powerful the cameras are on this satellite, i kind of wonder whether or not theyre going to be able to see the lines at the in and out burger that just opened there in denver with 14hour waits for a cheeseburger . Right, i would be able to fly to los angeles, eat there, and fly back before i made it to the drivethru window at the new in and out burger here. It is crazy. Leland that was something to see. We just saw one rocket cut off here and this may be watching the spacex rocket come back down to earth which its able to do and pretty remarkable land on a ship. Sometimes we get to see that as it happens live. Well stick with these pictures. Its interesting, alicia, in the middle of a country in denver, colorado the Space Business, especially the private Space Business has been an incredible boon to the economy out there. It has. Thank you very much. And thanks for having me. And we here, the Space Companies here and the Technology Companies aerospace and beyond are involved in so many of these launches. Theyre just sort of the quiet players in these most wonderful images that we see. Because we hear a lot of whats coming out of california, whats coming out of texas and florida, of course. So, yeah, absolutely here in colorado, definitely a big player here and its so nice, leland. Dont you think, with everything were dealing with right now to just be able to focus on something that just Shows Progress and some things with science. Leland what youre seeing the rocket is returning to earth and gets to be reused and something unthinkable 10 years ago and you saw it come back down, which is pretty remarkable to think about when you think about progress as well and noteworthy pushing into the frontiers of space is something that unites both President Trump and president elect joe biden how they view the Space Program and american returning to excellence and exploration in space and nasa tv folks look pretty happy there. Absolutely. We need is moment for everybody to be grateful for. Many restaurants worked very hard to follow our precautions, but people indoors, gathering together not Wearing Masks right now is simply too risky. Believe me, more than anything in the world i wished none of this is necessary, but theres no doubt these changes are necessary. We need to act now to reduce the rate of increase and flatten the curve once again. Leland that was the philadelphia mayor. Theres a group of Philadelphia Restaurant owners who are suing the mayors over new covid related restrictions and claiming the order violates their constitutional rates for equal protection and will hurt them financially. We bring in the attorney for the owners and one of the owners of nicks roast beef. We appreciate you being with us. Matt, first to you on a personal basis, this has to be devastating in terms of just getting your business back going and wham. Yeah, its been a tough nine months that weve all faced and its been around the country, weve all been dealing with the same things and adhering to every guideline thats been put in front of us, trying to stay safe, keep our customers safe, keep our employees safe and ourselves. Its been nothing, but a challenge and an expense. Weve made every everything theyve asked us to from permits to add tents to outside, to additional ppe, to heaters, as we got into the winter months and now going into the wintertime it gets cold in philadelphia. I can imagine its hard to have a business if he cant bring people inside into the space youre paying for . Yeah, one of the Biggest Challenges i see every day is walking into in building and realizing i cant put people in it today. One of the things weve been fighting against and one of the stats weve been using is that, youre now pushing people from being inside in our controlled environments where everyones regulating us, were inspected on a very regular basis, to now push them out ive got to interrupt you for a second. We want to bring you urgent election news. Reuters reporting now that the Republican National committee and the Michigan State Republican Party have asked michigans election canvass board to ajourn for 14 days to allow for an audit of the vote in wayne county, which is detroit, michigan. Unclear whether or not that is actually going to happen, we know that the state Republican Leadership from the state legislature met at the white house with President Trump yesterday, which was friday. The white house downplayed the importance of that meeting saying it was not an advocacy meeting saying no members of the Trump Campaign were going to be at the meeting. After the meeting with a President Trump, those two republican lawmakers came out and said they had seen no evidence to change the results of michigans elections and said they wanted to quote, follow a normal process in terms of how the election was going to be certified. This is a slightly different wrinkle and change on this. It appears to not be coming from the republicans that we discussed and that Mark Meredith discussed meeting with the president , but this is again from the state Republican Party and the Republican National committee to the michigan board of canvassers, not to the wayne county board that has its own issues, saying they want an audit of votes in wayne county. Obviously, were going to follow that, seeing exactly in terms of what this means and talk to lawyers about what exactly would have to happen for the state board of canvassers if they wanted to, to agree to this request from the Republican National committee and the state Republican Party. Weve got some reporters working the phones right now and get back to that as soon as we can. Alicia. And the race for the vaccine is heating up with pfizer applying for emergency approval of its vaccine and the u. S. Is breaking another coronavirus record. Well have the latest numbers next. Want to brain better . Unlike ordinary memory supplements neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. Memory, focus, accuracy, learning, and concentration. Try our new gummies for 30 days and see the difference. Beautiful. But when i started cobra kai, the lack of control over my business made me a little intense. But now i practice a different philosophy. Quickbooks helps me get paid, manage cash flow, and run payroll. And now im back on top. With koala kai. Hey more mercy. Save over 30 hours a month with intuit quickbooks. The easy way to a happier business. Right now, with matt rossi, the owner of nicks roast beef in philadelphia, pennsylvania. Hes now under a lockdown close order by the philadelphia mayor. His attorney is brian fritz representing a number of restaurants saying thats not fair. You listened to the politicians who are ordering the lockdown. They say theyre on the side of the angels. How do you fight against that . I mean, we understand what the sentiment thats been out there is. Weve been dealing with this for nine months now and we started this lawsuit was because we dont have any specific answers. We dont have the body of science being relied upon and being applied on one particular business versus another type of business and there has been no involvement of the city council locally. No involvement of the Business Owners to determine what other solutions might be for these problems and just marching these folks off to financial destruction without providing them a basis as to why. We think that violates their Due Process Rights and also this unequal application of the rules between various businesses without explanation why. We think violates equal protection rights. Leland brian, give us a brief history. Back in the beginning of the being lo lockdowns, we saw lawsuits from some gym owners some got fined and others didnt. What is it as we head to potentially other lockdowns across the country for businesses to fight back . I think with our situation here and why ours are different from the ones initially. We had nine months, theories where gyms and restaurants were spreaders and that was the theory. What has been done, the government body, agencies, whatever, to determine whether the theories are correct or incorrect. We dont have the answers, we dont have what theyre containing the basis on and the fact is that we had gone for nine months where theres been operation with restrictions and i think that the restauranteurs and their workers as well as the public at large needs to know what has the city done to know whether or not these restrictions were working. Leland you make an excellent point in terms of exactly what is the science and how do you pick the winners and losers of a wawa for example, over nicks roast beef. Gentlemen, well appreciate it there. Brian, if you have any more on the science wed be interested. Thank you both. Absolutely, thank you so much. Leland alicia. Alicia pfizer has applied for emergency use of its vaccine as the number of coronavirus cases in the United States rises. Christina coleman is live in los angeles with the latest developments. Hi, christina. Hi, alicia, well, right now covid cases are surging from coast to coast, hospitalizations are on the rise and officials are putting more restrictions in place to try and stop the spread of this virus. Now, more than 254,000 people have died from covid in the u. S. And hospitalizations hit an alltime high on thursday, with more than 80,000 people being treated for the virus. As of yesterday, at least 30 states saw a 20 or more increase in covid hospitalizations over the past several days. 25 states also reported more than 20 increase in covid infections over the past week. Theres been a dramatic spike in cases in the midwest. The c. D. C. Is urging people not to travel for thanksgiving as more cities and states put covid lockdowns and restrictions in place, in california, an overnight curfew goes into effect tonight and the government says nonessential work and gatherings must stop from 10 p. M. To 5 a. M. In hardhit areas, that will impact most of the state. As of now, the curfew is set to last a month. The good news, a vaccine appears to be right around the corner. Yesterday pfizer asked u. S. Regulators for emergency use of its covid19 vaccine. If approved, the twoshot vaccine could be available as early as next month for Health Care Workers and people in high risk groups. Pfizer reported that its vaccine appeared to be 95 effective. Now, its unclear how long it will take the f. D. A. To review this vaccine, but considering how fast this deadly virus is spreading, the agency is expected to move quickly. Alicia. Thank you, Christina Coleman in los angeles. For more insight lets turn to Infectious Disease expert and senior scholar at john hopkins, thank you so much for being here. We just heard christinas report, theres hope there with the vaccine coming, but were headed into such a busy week with the holiday. What are your concerns right now . My concern is that people are going to continue to behave as if were not in a pandemic and what were seeing now is that private gatherings, less than restaurant, as we heard in prior segment, and people gather from all different parts of the country and this is where theyre going to let their guards down. Jump from one person to another. In 10 to 14 days were going to have a conversation about our hospitals being in more crisis ap theres no end in sight. Thats what im worried about. The vaccines are going to be great. Theres a light at the end of the tunnel, but theres a lot of tunnel to go. Alicia with so many warnings and guidelines out there. Folks are still going to do what they want to do. Its the holidays, its hard for people to imagine giving some of this up, theyve given up so much this year. You have guidelines for people, dont you. Id like to put this on the screen. Its important for some people to keep things in mind. Lets start with the College Students. What is your concern there . Colleges have been hot spots of infection where theres been variable enforcement, quarantine and isolation. Variables amounts much testing and lots of offcampus activities leading to hot spots. Some colleges are better than other. But in general when a College Student returns home you have to think of them as a high risk contact. If youve got Vulnerable People in the household this could set up a chain of transmission in the house and you have to be careful can you get your College Student tested. Are you going to try to keep him or her six feet away from vulnerable populations that might be coming over for thanksgiving. What are they going to do in their hometown, gather with High School Friends . Which is common with High School Students returning from campus. All of that is important and you have to be careful with that group of the population. Alicia what can folks do when they have people over, when theyre going to do the best that they can . What can they do, inside, outside, what do you suggest . So, outside is always better than inside and if youre inside. Try to make it close to outside as possible. Maybe hope some windows and have a hiybrihybrid, indoorout thing. If there are less people around the table, that means less virus. If you keep the different households, to a minimum. If you have people from different households, pod them, dont have people congregating around food. Maybe if you can, get people to try to wear face shields or face masks when theyre not eating. If people can get tested, it decreases the risk, but we saw at the white house rose garden, its not something to rely on, but a rapid turn around. Alicia thank you very much for your time. We appreciate your expertise. Thank you. Leland always an excellent conversation. Black friday is fast approaching, but theres a lot of retailers already rolling out the deals. What this means for your email inbox when we get back. Im kalvin, and theres more to me than hiv. Im a peer educator,. A fitness buff,. And a champion for my own health. I talked with my doctor. And switched to. Fewer medicines with. Dovato. Prescription dovato is for some adults who are starting hiv1 treatment or replacing their current hiv1 regimen. With. Just 2 medicines. In 1 pill, dovato is as effective as a 3drug regimen to help you reach and stay undetectable. Research shows people who take hiv treatment as prescribed. And get to and stay undetectable. Can no longer transmit hiv through sex. Dont take dovato if youre allergic to any of its ingredients. Or if you take dofetilide. Hepatitis b can become harder to treat while taking dovato. Do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor,. As your hepatitis b may worsen or become lifethreatening. Serious or lifethreatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions,. Lactic acid build up, and liver problems. If you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction,. Stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c,. Or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. Your doctor may prescribe a different medicine. Than dovato if you plan to be pregnant or if pregnancy is confirmed during the first trimester. Dovato may harm your unborn baby. Use effective Birth Control while taking dovato. Most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping,. Tiredness, and anxiety. So much goes into who i am. Hiv medicine is one part of it. Ask your doctor about dovatoi did. Right after this show, or in a commercial break check your email. The prechristmas emails are here and theyre trying to capitalize from online or from inperson to Online Retail transactions. Lets talk about what this meanings for discounts for you and your 401 k . Mac mac macro advisors, mitch, appreciate you being here. It seems like the idea of cyber monday and black friday have combined and come about three weeks early. I think its more than three weeks early. Through october, 42 of the expected Holiday Shopping has taken place already. I think that it started really early. Weve been locked at home with not a lot to do, leland. You mentioned the promotions coming. Whether its brick and mortar retailers or the new version of Retailers Online only, theyre blasting deals at you. Coupon specials and people are boun pouncing on them and people want a sense of normalcy. Leland retail therapy, perhaps. This is bloomberg, from axios, the American Consumers is flush with cash after paying down debt. How does that square when we talk about how the coronavirus destroyed the American Economy . I think there are two sides to it. The supply side which are crippled, you talked about, restaurants and bars, and the like. And on the demand side. If the people arent consuming, theyre saving. There are some people having a hard time paying the rent and making mortgage payments no question, about you those who have income coming in, theyre saving and thats the big disconnect. Which is why we need to open up the supply side of the economy to get the people back out there so can two ways to look at it. People who are saving because theres not as many dinners to go out to and not as many parties to buy wine for. People are saving from the way they consumed in 2019 and spent disposable incomes, but at some point does the gravy train run out if enough people lose their jobs and enough Small Businesses go out of business . Yes, i would say that. There could be a whole the way ive referred to it, the economy has a wound and the question is whether or not that wound will heal. So, we find ourselves with five Million People who are on the unemployment roles because their businesses are shuttered permanently and i worry about brick and mortar and Retail Business whether or not they open and stories about new york, stocking numbers, 30, 40 of the restaurants that may not never reopen. I think theres some permanent damage and the only way to do that is to try to keep the businesses afloat, whether through stimulus that the government cant seem to figure out or opening businesses. Leland there seems to be a bifurcation, the way that Big Restaurants and big stores are doing compared to mom and pop. Thank you.

Police are searching for a suspect who shot and injured eight people at a Shopping Mall in milwaukee county, wisconsin friday. Mike toben is there from wauwatosa with the latest, mike. Hi, the manhunt is underway for whoever shot eight people at the mayfair mall. One thing from the wauwatosa police, its not not what we usually get with the shooting. That the bloodshed was not a random act. Rather the result of an altercationment thats about all the information they provided. Just before 3 00 local time in the afternoon shots rang out and there was chaos. The gunman got away before Police Arrived on the scene. I saw a lady come out on a stretcher with a baby. My uncle, yeah, he did come out. He got shot twice in the leg. Thankfully no worse than that. This is outrageous. This is crazy. This you know, i encourage people to take a stand and continue coming up to and shot. Dont let this deter you from coming up to mayfair mall or any mall. Continue shopping. Now, just about 15 miles from here, the interstate was shut down and police in new berlin, wisconsin sent out an emergency message telling people to shelter in place because they were searching for a gunman. And just in the last hour, they updated that, saying that a third gunman or a third suspect, i should say has been apprehended and the shelter in place had been lifted. However, social media cast doubt whether those are connected. New berlin tells fox news theyre determining whether the two scenes are connected. Alicia mike tobin.

[sfx mnemonic] alicia the rnc and the michigan Republican Party are asking the state election canvassers to delay certifying votes for two weeks. Welcome to americas news headquarters from washington, im alicia acuna in denver. Leland im Leland Vittert in washington. This is just one day after President Trump met with michigan lawmakers at the white house. Mark meredith live on the north lawn of the white house and, mark, this is interesting especially considering those same michigan Lawmakers Said that they didnt really see anything wrong with the Election Results that should overturn the Election Results in the evidence and that they were going to proceed as planned. Reporter michigan certainly playing a more Important Role in the last 24 hours when it comes to what he feels were the Election Results, and he believes he should claim victory in this state. The michigan Republican Party asking for a two week delay of state certification because they want an audit of the votes in wayne county, the area that encompasses detroit. The Republican Party, again, just a request at this point, putting out a letter from the rnc chairwoman. Its a long one, ill read you part of it. We encourage the board to grant the request and adjourn for 14 days to allow for a full, transparent audit of wayne countys 2020 Election Results. Unclear whats going to happen next there. On friday the president had a chance to meet with michigan lawmakers, jo biden is ahead by joe biden is ahead by 154,000 votes. They go, quote we have not yet been made aware of information that would change the outcome of the election in michigan, and as legislative leaders, we will follow the law expect normal process regarding michigans electors just as we have said throughout this election. This is the statement that we heard from michigan lawmakerrers after they had a chance to meet with President Trump late are yesterday indicating no change is coming as of right now. Last night we also learned that donald trump jr. Tested positive for coronavirus. Were told he is quarantining just to be safe. The president also tweeted out that his son is doing very well. We have not seen President Trump on camera for ourselves at least today, hes at his golf club right now. He dud have a chance to meet with World Leaders Via Video Conference this morning for the g20 summit, normally done in person. It was being held virtually because of the pandemic. Still waiting for a readout about how that meeting went, but you can imagine many World Leaders continue to focus on the pandemic as President Trump also focuses on the 2020 Election Results. Leland noteworthy you brought up john james, hes behind a little less than 100,000 votes to the democratic senator, President Trump is behind about 150,000 votes at current last count. Well keep an i eye on both of those races, the john james race, a new wrinkle in terms of him making this request rather than the president. Mark, thank you very much. Alicia president elect joe biden says he has made his decision for top cabinet decisions. Hill true vaughn is in wilmington with more on who is in the mix for the top jobs. Reporter president elect joe biden has reportedly settled on who he wants to be his secretary of state adding or filling two positions now in his cabinet that were expecting to get formally announced into the next week. Fox was told last week though who was on the short list for secretary of state. The hill reports that Anthony Blinken, who served as Deputy National security adviser under president obama, is the frontrunner for the post. But senator chris coons is also a contender who is a longtime biden friend, fellow delaware resident and has been actively engaged in the transition process. He was asked by fox this week ifbidens pick. If he was bidens pick. Are you going to be the next secretary of state . Youre talking to an engaged senator from delaware whos looking forward to the transition. Reporter treasury secretary, progressives allied with senator warren tell us they are betting on former fed chair janet yellen for the position. And on a call with reporters yesterday, transition officials said it will not be someone who is cozy with wall street. I think its safe to say that hes not a fan of wall streets policies or an ad slow e candidate for, you know, a lot of the policies that some people would be in favor of. Reporter but senator Bernie Sanders is warning the biden team not to pass over progressives to fill out their administration, telling the ap it would be, quote, enormously insulting if biden skipped over progressive es but found spots for conservative democrats. Bernie sanders has been openly campaigning for a position in bidens cab in the. But when cabinet. But when biden has been asked directly if theres a spot from him, hes refused to answer. And also sanders democratic colleagues in the senate have also been silent on if they would support Bernie Sanders for a possible cabinet role. Alicia . Liver rush Hillary Vaughn with the update, thank you so much, appreciate it. Leland a big part of the calculus for president elect joe biden over the coming months is going to hinge on what happens in georgia. Where you not only have the dispute over the election that just happened, but you have a Runoff Election for two United States senate seats that could very possibly and likely will control and decide who controls the United States senate. With possibly Vice President Kamala Harris being the tiebreaking vote depending on how things go in georgia. Theres record amounts of money flowing into georgia for this senate race. Already the ads are up and the opposition are research is out, and we can see right now hundreds if not thousands of proPresident Trump protesters are out on the streets around the capitol. They are upset that the election was certified in georgia yesterday by the governor there. Matt finn now on the ground in atlanta. Hi, matt. Reporter leland, georgia has become the center of the political world, and its going to be a jampacked saturday. Taking a look at the two Runoff Senate races here that are going to control the balance of power in the United States senate, georgias two republican senators are now urging that they have become the final line of defense for republicans to stop democrats from completely controlling washington. Democrat candidate jon ossoff a short while ago participated in a comfort and care harvest distribution here in atlanta, and yesterday Vice President pence was here to campaign with republican senator david perdue. Pence urged georgia voters that their two republican senators must hold the line to defend the republican majority in the senate. Pence also campaigned with republican senator kelly loeffler. Her opponent, reverend rafael war knock, is hosting a series of meet and greets today beginning in montezuma. And there are several competing protests here in georgia as you mentioned, leland, a stop the steal protrump rally and a. [laughter] leaning Antifascist Group hosting a rally at atlantas city hall. And looking at the president ial race, just yesterday georgias republican governor certified the states vote, biden the winner. However, georgias governor says hes not satisfied with the States Election process. Its quite honestly hard to believe that during the holiday thousands of uncounted ballots were found weeks after a razorthin outcome in a president ial election. This is simply unacceptable. Ive heard directly from countless georgians they expect better, and they deserve better. Reporter and georgias governor says his certification of the states vote now paves the way for the president s campaign to request a recount here in georgia which it is allowed to do. The president s campaign has until tuesday the make that request, leland. Leland the president tweeting earlier that there was big news about georgia coming later today, so we will wait on that. Matt finn in atlanta, back down there as those protests continue to grow, thank you. Alicia well, covid cases spike in communities across the country. Local lawmakers are working to keep residents safe during the upcoming holiday season. We bring in el paso, texas, mayor and louisiana senator daines. Mayor margo, id like to begin with you because theres a battle underway right now in your state over restrictions, and i would like folks to know what are the state of things in your city . Well, were hopeful, reasonably hopeful that were starting to hit a plateau. If we compare our spike with what occurred in thely e yo grand valley Rio Grande Valley, were 85 hispanic, so were exceptionally more vulnerable than other populations. I think the cdc said four times more vulnerable to hospitalization. But it took the Rio Grande Valley 45 weeks just to hit their plateau. This is our fifth week, and were starting to see while we announced this morning 1,074 positives, we actually had a reduction of 27 hospitalizations and a reduction of 5 in our icu. So, i mean, im hopeful that were starting to get there, but im also very concerned about thanksgiving because were a very familyoriented culture, community. Alicia and youve written a letter to your community with regard to thanksgiving and getting together and the pandemic. Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah. Well, what we found when we did a deep dive in our Contact Tracing this past week from october the 10th excuse me, november the 10thnovember the 16th, we found out that 55 of our positives based on the Contact Tracing data were coming from shopping at large retailers, what we call the big box retailers. And there is no control over those under ceasing essential businesses from a local standpoint. So i did a press conference on thursday talking about the need to only have one member of your family out doing the shopping in el paso. Shopping is a family vent. Multiple generations of people go out. So were trying to do that. And ive already restricted restaurants and bars. We dont have bars open, restaurant bars, to close at 9 p. M. , and i did that five weeks ago. Were trying to get our arms around where the spikes are coming and to control our own personal if behavior. Alicia and, representative james, your statement is seeing an increase state is seeing an increase in cases as so many others. Tell me, give us a sense of how things are in louisiana at this time especially as we head toward thanksgiving. Yeah. I share the mayors concerns. Last friday we saw 3500 new cases, and that is the largest singleday increase since the start of the pandemic. I shower his concerns as we i share his concerns as we go into this holiday weekend. And what weve done, we continue to urge residents, you know, to have a nontraditional thanksgiving, you know . A nontraditional thanksgiving will keep those family members safe and keep those family members alive to celebrate thanksgiving next year. You know, were also concerned with the impact to our local businesses. My mayor here, she talks about the whole Community Response and recognizing that the health of our residents and the success of our businesses are not mutually exclusive. We have to continue to pump our resources there. And i know in el paso, i know that theyre doing the best that they can. My biggest concern is that our local governments are not going to be able to withstand the fiscal impact if we have to shut back down again. Alicia and, representative james, you know of which you speak. Folks should know that you had a pretty tough battle with covid that took you to a pretty dark place. When youre talking about restrictions and guidelines, youre coming from a place that a lot of people may not understand. Can you explain that . Ill tell you, i spent five days in the hospital and didnt know if you would see my little girl again. And as i see people out and celebrating, i would hate to see anybody go through the experience that i went through, what it did to my family, what it did to my friends. And i will tell you that we have to continue to take the coronavirus serious. We know that were seeing spikes all across the country, and i would just continue to urge people, you know, have a zoom thanksgiving so, hopefully, we can enjoy e a Christmas Holiday because i know that here were talking about what our Hospital Capacity looks like. And, unfortunately, the numbers start to climb, were going to continue to have family members lost. And for me personally, i would just, you know, very much so beg of you to keep yourself and your family safe alicia absolutely. Practice all the guidelines and social distancing that weve been talking about. Alicia thank you so much, is gentlemen. Well be thinking of you and your communities and those around the country trying to celebrate but also remain cautious. Have a good one. Thank you. Leland Illegal Immigrants continue to surge across the southern border. U. S. Customs and Border Patrol reports more than 69,000 arrests last month, the huest october number highest october number in 15 years. Lucas tomlinson with the details on where theyre coming from and the efforts to stop them. Reporter hi, leland. Another sign of the Global Economic devastation, motivating migrants to make the dangerous journey north. 69,000 arrests and detentions on the southern border with mexico last month, a 21 spike compared to september and the highest october since 2005 according to u. S. Customs and board or protection. Border protection. Theyve been this way for decades and decades. First and foremost is economics. Anywhere we see worsening economic conditions, illegal immigration follows. And right now because of covid19 thats exactly what were seeing. Not just in mexico, but treal western hemisphere.

Cbp troops say their work on the border is crucial to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in the United States, at least onethird of those detained each month are e peat offenders repeat offenders.

Lawsuit last month dhs late last month dhs celebrated the construction of nearly 400 new miles of border along the southern boundary. Leland . Leland Lucas Tomlinson here in d. C. The Commission Ors twitter account is unlocked, lucas, thank you. Alicia . Alicia leland, there is controversy over a rare honor for a politician. Why some are not happy about Governor Andrew Cuomo getting an emmy award. Zes your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need . Really . I didnt aah ok. Im on vibrate. Aaah only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Handling of folks in older, in facilities for the elderly, excuse me. Isnt there i mean, theres been plenty of criticism for him. Is this really the time for an award . Well, will the9 me put it this way, Andrew Cuomos early briefings, they were very good. He was blunt, he was straightforward, he was sometimes witty, and he took responsibility. Maybe his brother, chris cuomo at cnn, who was in one of those briefings will be a little gel out of his brothers emmy. Jealous. But the problem is, Governor Cuomo has taken a whole lot of criticism which he disputes over his handling of the states Nursing Homes. More than 6,000 covidpositive patients were let into these nursing home facilities from hospitals under his administrations policy, and the state health d. Says 6,800, more than that, actually, have died in Nursing Homes and adult care facilities. Cuomos own attorney general says that the administrations blocking the release of more precise figures, so so the record is very mixed. Alicia i guess what makes it such a headscratcher here is that the coverage of the pandemic is something that is playing out on television, but its a reflexion of actual tragedy reflection of actual tragedy and very real pain. Why is the academy acting like dealing with a Health Care Crisis is a Television Show . Yeah, i new you put your finger on it. In fact, in giving the award, they said cuomofectivelyed Television Shows with plot lines, but the award implies he did a great job battling covid, and the record is far more complicated and mixed. He dud lots of interviews, he just published a book, but the irony is just the other day he got plenty of bad press for lashing out at reporters who basically asked him will you intervene to close new york citys schools tomorrow. It turned out mayor de blasio did that on his own, and cuomo gave them a televised tongue lashing. He can be a very aggressive politician. He says hes flat ored by this award, but governing is hard. Its harder than just being good on television, and thats why i think this is, to say the least, controversial. Alicia howie, thank you so much. And tomorrow we should note you will be talking to Geraldo Rivera on media was about his thoughts on the election and his conversation with President Trump, thats tomorrow at 11 eastern. Leland the cotowner of black lives matter is turning up the heat on the biden transition, saying in an oped that they want democrats to embrace a bill described as a road map for prison abolition. Not just reform, abolition. Democratic missouri congressman emmanuel cleaver, bidens surrogate, also a member of the House Homeland Security committee joining us live. Appreciate you taking the time, we had some technical difficulties, we appreciate you work on this. Is this kind of whats happening right now with the biden transition, that youve got a pretty hard core group on the left trying to cash in the chips on the left and the biden transition trying to stay relatively centered . Well, yes. Anytime there is a transition for any administration, there are generally going to be some kind of internal battles to see who is, in fact, controlling the soul of that administration. And so its not surprising that there are people who would be further to the left than, say, me or others who would want to have things going their way. Leland yeah. And theyre going to have to compete with people who, i think, were create clue important to the Biden Victory as were they. And i know the Vice President , i started out with his when we were getting crowds of 25 and 30 people in the snowcovered towns of iowa. And this is not some way out whacko liberal. Leland its an interesting point that you make, sir, and you point out correctly that you have been with the Vice President , now the president elect, since the very beginning and a vocal and arctic lawsuit advocate for him and for a season trust democratic policy. This is centric democratic policy. This is reporting on what the cofounder has written in an oped. In addition to the breathe act, in addition to essentially trying to be a path to abolishing the police, it would create a commission to give Voting Rights to undocumented imp grants, decriminalize all drug offenses, end cooperation with immigration authorities, universal a basic income among other sweeping changes. With these kinds of demands especially if you have a divided Congress Come january, how difficult does that make for people like yourself in the center to get things done . Well, i think at thed end of the day there will be individuals in the Democratic Caucus and, hopefully, in the republican conference who become sick and tired of doing damage to the American Public by failing to get critically important legislation through such as stimulus relief for individuals who are suffering right now. Leland yeah. So make no mistake, people are going to try to lobby the Vice President as they tried to President Trump and president bush and obama and everybody else. Leland let me ask you this way, weve seen how partisan washington can be over the past four years. Why is is there reason to hope that people are willing to at least give the other side a little bit in the hope of some kind of compromise, because compromise seems to now be a dirty word here. Why are you all of a sudden hopeful now that thats going to be found . Well, for a lot of people compromise means capitulation. It does not mean that with me. But heres the thing i think very encouraging for the American Public. There are republicans and democrats alike who have been working together over the last couple of years as it relates to Current Administration and as it relates to trying to come up with some kind of a joint way which they could deal with things going on with the Trump Administration. And for the most part, people probably thought that those individuals could not work together. But they have and we have. And we understand that when this is all over, the repalins who were in the Lincoln Project and everything else, who were conservative, theyre going to be in criticism of the biden policies some of them, i hope, if not all. But i just think we have a chance here. We dont listen, im not some crazy alarmist, but i am absolutely concerned that if we dont begin to work together, we are actually trespassing on very dangerous ground because i think this country can be torn apart. I know most people lee youve been a longtime advocate, sir, for being willing to talk to the other side, and we always appreciate you coming on and doing that here, sir. Good to see you as always. Good to be with you. Leland thank you. Alicia . Alicia the nfl is tightening coronavirus restrictions in hopes of keeping the season in play. Well bring you all the details next.

[sfx mnemonic] perhaps the last couple of years is the police do the very best to create as large of a distance and Defensible Space between the two groups that they possibly can, and thats what is happening here. A physical barrier of when they do meet, as we saw here in washington last week and in the past, it can be a quite combustible situation. Those are department of corrections riot police. It would appear as though we saw some folks in fatigues just forward of where our camera is. You can see one of the trump 2020 vendors there with their tent, and this is the counterprotesters on the other side. This standoff now 90 minutes into the protrump rally at the Georgia State capitol. Alicia acuna is with me watching from denver. And as you watch this, alicia, its sobering. Alicia right. And we did see this, leland, as you know, you and i were in different locations on the day of election and the days following, and what we saw i was in arizona, for example was the same type of activity here. We didnt necessarily have the antitrump protesters like were seeing come out right now that the authorities there are trying to keep at bay from the protrump group. But what we did see and were continuing to see is this very real frustration of folks who feel like they voted for this president. This president speaks for them, and now they feel like their voice is being ignored. There are many in these crowds here and beyond who feel that the president of the United States who currently holds this office will continue to be the president for the next four years. And say what you will about his twitter account and the way that he is fanning the frame flames of this fraud idea that has been debunked in many ways, they mean it. Were talking about tens of millions of people here who are incredibly agitated and frustrated, and theyre taking to the streets in ways that we have seen them do over the past few weeks. Because to them, this wasnt right. Leland were looking past sort of our cameras moved sort of into the interior of where the police and the Corrections Officers have lewined things up to lined things up to keep these two crowds separated. At least in my experience out in these crowds, the violence has come from the antiTrump Supporters, not from the protrump side of things. And weve seen the protrump group rally there at the Georgia State capitol now for the past 90 minutes or so with their flags mostly in hats, worth masks on without masks on as we can see most of the folks in that group. Based on their shields and their gas masks and helmets, one can garner the opinion on their own or the conclusion on their own of what the folks who would call themselves the antifascist or counterprotesters are there to do and what they come ready for. As we look now, this is one of beautiful. But support the leg when i started cobra kai, the lack of control over my business made me a little intense. But now i practice a different philosophy. Quickbooks helps me get paid, manage cash flow, and run payroll. And now im back on top. With koala kai. Hey more mercy. Save over 30 hours a month with intuit quickbooks. The easy way to a happier business. Leland theres no lockdown to speak of in the state of missouri, although the is state of emergency there has been extended throughout next march to fight the coronavirus continued case rise. The governor says everythings more of a guideline than a requirement these days. Joining us now, the voice of st. Louis himself, charlie brennan. Mike parson seemed to be taking a very different playbook than a lot of his fellow especially liberal governors. Yeah, thats right, leland. He has pretty much had a las say fair attitude has say fair attitude. This past week starting tuesday, st. Louis county closed all restaurants for indoor dining. Whats interesting here is some restaurants are openly defying that order and staying hope and also simultaneously pursuing their claims in court. Leland we heard about this in philadelphia as well, we had an attorney whos representing a bunch of Philadelphia Restaurants that are suing the city there, sort of the same idea, saying this isnt based in science, youre allowing wawas and gas stations and quick marts to stay open, how do you prove restaurants are the real problem here . What happens to these restaurants defying the orders, and perhaps more importantly e if theyre staying open, they must be getting customers. Yes, they are, and the parking lots are full of them at one of them, even the sheriff of jefferson county, a fellow by the name of dave marshak, showed up to dine in the restaurant during a period when it was leland just so i understand, youve got the sheriff in one county coming the dine in a restaurant that is open in defiance of orders by the state, by the county government of another county, all in the same state. Where is the county government in this . Are they going to all of a sudden send in their own miss force to shut these restaurants down, or do they feel like they dont have the public support to do that . Good question. The county prosecutor, leslie bell, has said that his office hasnt is received new e complaints about this yet leland wow. [laughter] and the Health Department has said it doesnt have the staff to really enforce this and the thousands of restaurants that are in st. Louis county. But i would point out, of course, everybodys concerned about the restaurants, leland, because this could be devastating to them. They could be going out of business soon, some already have. But at the same time, when youre dining at a restaurant, its an enclosed atmosphere, you take off the mask and those aerosol droplets can possibly be flying around. I hate to go wobbly on you, but i can see both sides of the story. Lee you taught me how to do that about 20 years ago when you were my first boss. Finish this is the governor talking about why he wont enforce or put in place a statewide mask mandate. Take a listen. As many people out there would like to say its governments responsibility, its not. Its our responsibility as citizens of this great state to take it upon ourselves to do the right thing. Leland he just won reelection with a walkoff grand slam, if you will, and im wondering so much of his opponents campaign was about the coronavirus and about parsons response to coronavirus. It seems as though the people of missouri are standing with him. Oh, theres no doubt. And nicole galloway, the astronaut auditor, was a formidable candidate, and she lost by about 7 points. She was 17 points. She was wearing a mask a lot, he was not. The problem now is that in places like st. Louis and kansas city, the hospitals are saying in fact, in kansas city they are doing this, theyre turning away patients because they have too many people in the ucu already icu already, and in st. Louis hospital officials, leland, have said theyve likely to do the same thing soon. Leland i wonder what your callers are saying about this. Oh, well, you know, theyre mixed like the rest of the country, you know . Some believe everyone should be wearing a mask even while driving or while sleeping. You know, you get that extreme. Ing and then you get the other extreme where people, number one, believe its personal choice, and they also wonder about the efficacy of a mask. So, and then you have in the middle, people are pretty reasonable. I think most people wear a mask when theyre near others, they try to socially distance, but leland anybody who thinks theyre in the middle thinks theyre reasonable but e definition. [laughter] the question i have though is where does this go with st. Louis heading into winter . If when you have restaurants openly defying city and county orders, it seems as though youve lost control of the situation. Yeah, thats a fair assessment, lee land. The most interesting leland. The most interesting case, i think, is the cheshire inn which straddles both st. Louis city which doesnt have a ban on une door dining and st. Louis county which does. So theyre got one restaurant, the fox and hound in the county, and its closed, on the same piece of property they have ba is so, a restaurant that is open. Leland i think that was a tavern one time, theyd move the tables depending on which state Law Enforcement showed up. [laughter] unbelievable. Thats exactly it. Leland we appreciate the visualization and fascinating. The sheriff shows up at a closed restaurant to have dinner rather than shut em down. Thank you, sir or, good to see you. Thanks, leland.

One d. C. Area Restaurant Owner is delivering free meals to them. Joining us now is coowner of the restaurant, mark buicker. Thank you so much for being here today. Alicia, thanks for having me, i really appreciate it. Alicia we need good news in such a big way, and what your restaurants are doing, providing such a Wonderful Service as with. Can you tell us what it is that youre doing . I mean, we, you know, im in the happiness business. Me and my business partners, we provide happiness all year long. People come out to restaurants and celebrate births, graduations, anniversaries, weddings, and this is a really hard time. I mean, were trying to figure out a way to find thanks and find some happiness in an otherwise uncertain time. And one of the areas that we need to worry about are our elderrers. They cant share thanksgiving with their families this year, theyre told not to kong regate, you know congregate, you know, or theres one meal thats really hard to make for one person, and thats thanksgiving. So we decided that we were going to make thanksgiving for anyone over the age of 70 in the d. C. , maryland, virginia area, and well deliver it to their address. We put a tweet out, expected a couple hundred responses, we got thousands. Expect and the stories are heartwrenching. Weve got people that are responding to us that are simply saying i havent eaten alicia wow. I havent eaten, im not going to be with my family, my husband just died, i dont know how to cook, please help me, and were going to get them all dinner. Were going to start delivering on tuesday to everybody. And this is all part of something West Virginia always done every year for thanksgiving, and we have a turkey fry that we cook peoples turkey for free. A lot of people give donated you are the get donated turkey and dont have the ability to cook them. So for the last 12 years, theyve brought them to us, weve cooked them. Our first big concern this year is how are we going to do that because we cant gather in a restaurant . Last year we did over 300 turkeys. This year we called our friends at the washington nationals, bless them, were their partner and said, we need help, they said, lets go. So were going to do our turkey fry at the park for thousands of people on thanksgiving because they need this stuff done, and no ones helping. Alicia right. I love that. Everyones overlooking this group. So were here for them. Alicia well,ing theres so much there with regard to the frying of the turkeys, i love a fried turkey. Im terrified to actually pull it off myself. Exactly, i wish i could. Also the pictures we were showing just a moment ago, that was what you did for mothers day, correct . Yes. Alicia you just now have this overwhelming response. And you really hit on a point that i think is so important, especially because thanksgiving is a time when a lot of folks who are Older Americans really count on that one holiday to have that meal with their families. And this is such an important moment for them to be able to at least enjoy the flavors and a friendly face. You know, we try to get them together, but were going to give this many the flavors, theyll be on zoom, facetime. And the heartwrenching part of this, this is an older population. They are scared to death to leave their houses. Alicia right. They dont drive, they cant go to the food banks, and theyre stuck at home. Ing and theyre embarrassed to tell their kids theyre hungry because they dont want their kids to worry. Its the worst of all of this coming together with one part of our population. So were doing the best we can, and im hoping other restaurants around the country by the way copycat this and reach out. The Restaurant Business has been hit really hard alicia oh, i know. And, you know, i hope folks are out there getting inspired. Thank you so much for your time, really appreciate it. Thank you. Stay healthy. Leaderboard liver thank you.
