Reporter democrat jon ossoff says he too will take the debate stage, field questions, dehis opponent republican senator david perdue to refuse to agree to single debate in the Senate Runoff elections. Perdues Campaign Says they will take the message at stake what the democrats control to the people. That is exact when weigh call from him and senator loeffler. The president did most of the heavy lifting so to speak, calling ossoff and warnock pawns of senator minority leader Chuck Schumer. As off and warnock are the two most extreme liberal candidates in our lifetime. If you dont vote the communists win. Georgia patriots must show up and vote for these two incredible people. Reporter warn november and ossoff are expected to paint the republican rivals has senators who are corrupt, only looking to enrich themselves instead of helping the people of georgia. This isnt even bp democrats versus republicans. This is about the people versus crooks who have been lining their pockets in office while they hold up relief for ordinary people. The wealthy and wellconnected have enough representatives in the United States senate. It is time for somebody representing ordinary people and ordinary families and working families and struggling families reporter guys, 24, these are the first and only debate that we see ahead of the Senate Runoff elections next month. It starts in just a matter of hours. It should be very interesting. Gillian . Gillian highstakes. Charles watson from val does today, georgia, thanks so much. Leland countdown to the debate in the righthand corner of your screen. We have republican tex texas congressman dan crenshaw. Campaigns are taking different approaches. Perdue is not showing up for the debate, ossoff is. Any difference . I dont think as seven as a serious candidate. Leland youre saying the guy who got 46 of the vote and only was behind by 100,000 votes is not a serious candidate. I dont think a socialist should be a serious candidate in america. We have to deliver that message loud and clear to the american people. He reminds of georgia beto orourke. He is against your god, against your energy, this is terrible, terrible idea for america. I have explicit message for everyone, if you dont want soesism in this country you have to vote for perdue and loeffler. If youre mad at the president ial election, best way to get back at them to make sure they dont take think more power. Leland when you say serious candidate, isnt it up to the voters to decide ho is serious or not. Of course they do. That is why were here. To get the right candidateelect. Leland you sort of engage, the general talking point has been to lump ossoff and warnock in with alexandria ocasiocortez and members of the squad, a group you clashed with successfully at times on twitter. Here is the latest tweet from alexandria ocasiocortez. The gop acts like they care but behind closed doors this is what theyre actually saying about working class. Good to know how little you think of good workers dan crenshaw of texas. Did have catering while bonding with wealthy donors over your disdain for the poor. This started with her saying something along the lines she knew, she had cried while people were upset over sparkling water as i understand it. Yeah. She is confused. First of all we were there with hundreds and hundreds of working class georgians. She has no connection with. Let me give a message to her. They have no interest in her policies and her socialist rhetoric. She is out of control. She pretends to have this strange connection to working class. She does not. They also need to remind her this, comes off the back of her crazy comments earlier this week. The republicans all they know is leatherbacked chairs. She, she is working class citizen. This is nonsense. Remind her, three memmers about of congress in the house missing body parts because we actually fought for this country. I think we know a little bit about hardship. It is insulting for her to pretend in this out of touch fashion she is the only one who understands what it is to work in this country. She does not. She needs to be reminded of that. Leland a point you made on twitter as well. Follow it dan crenshawtx. This has come up. We heard a little bit from jon ossoff in charles watsons hit, difference between crooks and those who are fighting for the working class as he would put it. This reference this is longstanding charge against senator perdue, to lesser extent senator love letter in terms of their stock trading. This is what New York Times wrote about mr. Perdues stock trading. Examination of mr. Perdues stock trading during six years in he haste been the senates most prolific stock trader by far. Reporting 20 or more transactions in single day. 2596 trades mostly in stocks and bonds and funds, equally next five most active traders in the senate. Is this an unforced error right now you guys are having to deal with . I dont see why, im not sure why this is relevant, somebody trades stocks a lot. Im certain they have somebody who mutual fund or something. I dont really know the details. Im not sure why this is relevant. Leland come on, congressman, the charge obviously is that he been trading on somewhat inside information and that he has been trading stocks and companies that he has influence over and might have inside information over. If you dont want to have the appearance of impropriety put it all in the zap if i have hundred index fund and not make a single trade. That is nonsense. I dont see any proof of these allegations. Only making appearance of impropriety of you repeating unverified allegations. Look if democrats, if democrats want to take this stance that theyre for the working class, then maybe they should actually talk to some people in the working class. Here in georgia you know what . They want to defend themselves when the mob is combing for them. They want to keep their guns. They dont want the government telling them what to do. They dont want their taxes increased. They dont want their businesses to be locked down. Dont want to told gas prices electricity prices go up under green due l new deal because theyre polluting the earth. It these are things georgia doesnt want. They want manufacturing brought back home. This is what workingclass people actually care about. I would challenge democrats to come up with message, well theyre corrupt, make them prove theyre not. That is basically what youre saying. Leland sir, i dont think im saying anything, im raising questions of senator trading in stocks that he has influence over or perhaps has inside information about. I dont know that is allegation. You cant just throw that out there right . Lots of workingclass people leland for example, he traded fireeye stock 61 times and he was one of the senators whod is about it on a committee . That is the question. Yeah. I mean i dont know the details of that. I know that its a little strange to be, if this is the best they have got, like he trade as lot of stocks that is a weak argument. Leland fair enough. Important to note that we asked members about both the ossoff and Warnock Campaign to come on if they wanted to talk about. They didnt. You took the opportunity. We appreciate you doing it, sir. Absolutely. You know, one last thing, get out and vote. It is the best way to keep your freedoms and your rights and your prosperity. Get out and vote in georgia. Leland that is right that you fought and sacrificed for all of us to have. We appreciate i, sir. Thank you for having me. Leland Fox News Sunday has latest on the georgia runoffs.

Rich edson has new developments where those negotiations stand right now. Hi, rich. Reporter good afternoon, gillian. Congressional leaders are negotiating a spending bill to keep the federal government running through much of next year. Aides are discussing a one week spending bill if they fail to reach an agreement by fridays deadline. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and she and Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell have agreed to combine this annual Government Spending bill with another coronavirus economic package. The foundation for these negotiations is a more than 900 billiondollar framework, Bipartisan Group of house and Senate Members released last week. This is not a stimulus bill. Its a relief bill and it is something for the next three to four months to help those in greatest need. The republicans accepted 900 billiondollar level. So we worked to that number. If there is more money available, certainly i would want to see more help to the families across america. Reporter senators are scheduling a call today to continue these negotiations. The current bipartisan framework would spend 160 billion on state and local governments, 180 billion on an employment benefits, 300 billion on assistance for businesses and more than 80 billion on education. In october treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin float ad 1. 8 trillion bill. Speaker rejected it then saying it lacked enough broad provisions to adequately address the pandemic. The speaker says Incoming Democratic president and approaching vaccine approvals have since changed the political dynamic. Gillian. Gillian rich edson in washington, d. C. Great to see you. Thank you. Leland starting tonight millions of People Living in california will be under a new stay at home order all the way through the christmas holiday. A little bit more on those orders and fight against them. Christina coleman live on the streets of los angeles with more. Hi, christina. Reporter hi, leland. The entire bay region has not reached a threshold for the new lockdowns but five bay area counties are going ahead to start them early. Start them today. Officials citing a surge in covid cases and hospital says. Now the new regional stay at home order is triggered in areas with icu capacity drops below 15 overwhelming hospitals is a major concern right now. The Southern California region which encompasses Large Population centers like l. A. , San Bernardino and san diego have 12. 5 capacity icu capacity remaining. The San Joaquin Valley region capacity took a nosedive since friday, sitting 8. 6 . That area includes central california. Those two regions will start a new stay at home order at 11 59 tonight. The new order instructs californians to stay home as much as possible. Stop mixing between households. Capped retail at 20 . Restricts restaurants only to takeout. Closes movie theaters, wineries, life audience sports, Family Entertainment centers and amusement parks. This is time limited. Its based upon the facts. Its based upon whats happening on the ground. Its based upon epidemiology. Its based upon transmission rates. Its based upon whats happening by regions. Reporter we also want to give you an update on this viral video we reported on the past few days. In it the owner of a restaurant in sherman oaks, california, said she was upset to find meal tents set up for an apparent film shoot right next to her Outdoor Dining patio had shut down by the city. The meal tents were removed after her post went viral. Here is Angela Marsden speaking with fox news. I came in to give last paychecks and bags of groceries to my employers and saw 200 person tent with tables set up in a catering truck for a Movie Company in the same parking lot within five feet away. I mean, 20 steps away from me. So that is what really upset me. Reporter l. A. Mayor Eric Garcetti responding to the controversy in the New York Times. He says my heart goes out to miss marredden and workers at Pineapple Hill saloon who have to comb ply with state and public county helps restrictions. Mr. Garcetti says no one likes restrictions but i support them as our hospital icu beds fill to capacity and cases increased by 500 . We must stop this virus before it kills thousands of more angelinos. A lot of controversy there but there is some light at the end of the tunnel. On thursday the fda is set to meet to discuss and possibly approve emergency use of new Pfizer Vaccine and you know, more vaccines are on the horizon. Leland . Leland not soon enough for so many, Christina Coleman in los angeles. Thank you. Gillian the fda is considering emergency use authorization for pfizers Coronavirus Vaccine on thursday a couple days from now but there are potentially major logistical hurdles they will have to overcome before the vaccine can ultimately be widely distributed. For more on this were joined by Johns Hopkins professor of Public Health policy and management. He is also a Fox News Contributor dr. Marty mccarry we have terrifying spike in up in perps of confirmed coronavirus cases nationwide. Get your reaction to this. Look at this line. It is horrendous. People are letting their guard down. There is fatigue. There are mixed messaging. People are not recognizing indoors with loved ones where were seeing a spread right now. Gillian so sounds like you agree with the picture that is being painted by Public Health professionals like dr. Anthony fauci, dr. Robert redfield that were heading into a winter that is most likely going to be pretty devastating, gutting for tens of thousands of american families, right . Were hitting new records but people need to recognize were only confirming one in five to one in six cases. When we see on the Johns Hopkins tracker for example, that we added 200,000 cases in a single day, were adding a million new infections. People who were taking it lightly are getting calls from friends and loved ones somebody is having trouble breathing or home sick. Unfortunately that is not what you want to get religion on this virus. Gillian a big hot topic right now is as you mentioned, we look at the population, not just in the United States but worldwide. I think it is close to a billion people have been infected with the virus. Im one of them who also recovered. A lot of people very eager to know you know, now important it is for them to get a, have seen if they need to get a vaccine at all . If they should consider, are they high priority, or low priority . Should we step aside let people who havent had the virus have access to the vaccine first, even if we are ultimately lobbed in with the general population of Healthy People when it comes time . Yeah. I would say step aside. Look, if you had the infection. If youre one of 75 to 150 million americans, almost a therapy of our population, that has had the infection and confer some natural immunity. It seems good up until this point. From the other coronaviruses, they generally are good for about two to three years. Lets study that population and in the meantime if you had infection step aside let peace get highrisk essential workers. We heard guidance from the cdc. Unfortunately it is disappointing, very broad. It was general. Not all Health Care Workers are the same. Give botox for a living, versus kidney dialysis treatment. Give essential Health Care Workers immunized and move on to Nursing Homes and workers with medical problems. Gillian is that the latest data out there right now . People who recovered from the coronavirus are likely to be immune . I think you said two to three years, is that right . I hadnt heard that . Yeah. If we look at the other coronaviruses like sars and merz, that immunity lasts for two to three years. We can extrapolate, and weve seen almost no reinfections. When they occur theyre extremely mild. Gillian doctor, you have been critabout the pace of these vaccine rollouts. Tell us, so we understand, you think that things should be happening faster. Whose fault is it . Not because were looking to cast aspersions on people but to understand the weaknesses in the process, is this on big pharma . Is this on the Trump Administration, on who . Operation warp speed and pharma done their job moving quickly. Once it get to fda on november 22nd. They scheduled a meeting for december 10th . What are they doing for three weeks . That process can be shortened specifically. I did research, as you mentioned for a piece i wrote on the dispatch. There has been a lot of sitting around time. There has been a lot of colating information and taking off for thanksgiving. They should not be cutting any corners at the fda but they should work harder. People are getting crushed out there right now. Were making massive sacrifices. Were starving our society. They should work harder and faster and turn that around in 24 hours. What are they looking at . 90 infections in one group and five in another. As we heard from salawi today, no serious adverse events. They should move faster on that basic data. Gillian a great point. Well reach out to the fda. Well let you know if we hear back. Lag time in three weeks in the middle of a pandemic where thousands of americans are contracting this virus every day, sounds a bit inexcusable. Well see what they have to say. Thanks, dr. Makary. Leland white house is upset about this. The fda commissioner has gotten called in couple times over the past week. In the past few hours a pastor in colorado held Worship Services defying the democratic governor in that state. The pastors case is in the Supreme Court. He said he is willing to be arrested for shepherding his flock. He joins us next. This is us talking taxsmart investing, managing risk, and all the ways schwab can help me invest.

Gillian the coowner of a Staten Island bar in Police Custody allegedly opening his bar in violation of covid19 restrictions and striking a sheriffs deputy while in his car. They approached the man, danny presti after seeing people enter his bar, macs public house. Presti allegedly drove into one of the deputies. His lawyer says he expects to be arraigned some day. Leland we have two owners have been hit hard are with us today. Fitness in oak grove california, because of restriction and frank ritchie, the bar in pause tin texas, rocking at 12 25 central time, already open and serving. Frank, start with you, you have a stack full of citations. Your bartenders gotten them as well. You managed to stay open. How do you pull it off . We turned ourselves into restaurant. Were rockin cigar bar and grill. Back in march they tried to shut us down. Had 20 Police Officers on me to take us down. Stood our ground on st. Patricks day. Stayed open until 2 00 a. M the day after that the fire marshal said if we even again they will yank our permit. With that happening we would be out of business. Leland saturday night live went after the Staten Island bar owner and protests outside. They seem to be making fun of Small Business owners still trying to make a living. Take a listen. Get your reaction in a second. I saw the protest. People were outside of the bar shouting about freedom, taunting the cops, chanting that they should arrest the governor but it is Staten Island i assumed it was a like a typical last call. Making us look like babies. Leland frank, are you baby or just trying to keep your employees with food in their mouth and roof over their head . Obviously were trying to make sure that our employees are taken care of. We have mortgages to pay. We have car payments. We have electric bills. We need to have food. And the reality is weve gone up against this it has been tough. We done what the governor said we could do. Were allowed to work inside of this. It has been quite challenging though. They shut us down at 9 00 at night. Money in the bar is made after 9 00 of course from 9 00 to 2 00. So it is, although, yes we are open, we are running on leland youre running on fumes but at least youre running. Lee, i understand it, you all are totally shut down. I can only imagine these new restrictions in california make it impossible . It has been quite impossible. Weve actually been shut down this year over 255 days. Leland wow. We have pivoted right away. Went right to virtual. However when we opened up our business that was not how we planned to have our main business. We spent over 125,000 alone just in the remodel of our space that has been empty for 14 years. And we signed a fiveyear lease for 5600 a year. I mean, a month. You know, obviously online virtual classes is not going to do that. The longer this goes on, a lot of our clients have lost their jobs. They have had to quit their jobs to homeschool their children. Or they have had a pay decrease. Now weve lost up to 50 of our regular members and about leland do you feel like, do you feel like the governor, who is putting all these new restrictions in place cares about you and what your sacrifices have been. Honestly i dont. From the very beginning we wanted to flatten the curve. We were okay with closing two tore or three weeks. Now it is turned into 255 days. We know we can open safely. We received a variance from the Sacramento Health department. Within four days Governor Newsom took it back. We are a small based studio, classbased studio. You have to make a reservation to come in. Leland real quick, lee, i will get frank in, any chance you will defy these orders, dlee . Were really talking about it. I know a couple of congressman are fighting for us, kiley, gallagher. We hope those guys will come through for us. There is no reason why we should not be open safely. We know we can. Manufacturer people walking in and out of target in one hour than i would have in my studio the entire month. Leland we hear argument a lot about people in target and people on airplanes yet they cant go to a Small Business like yours or franks. Frank, real quick, you have all those citations. Yes. Leland are you willing to get arrested over this if you have to . Well, this is the kind of guy i am. This is me. Theyre criminalizing good people. So i do support the police. I do support the tabc. I also believe that the leaders that they have to follow these leaders, are the culprit to this. When they come in, almost become family with the tabc and the police. Leland well, that is good family members to have. Im guessing tabc is the Texas Alcohol Commission there. Yes. Leland we appreciate you both being with us. Come back to update us as this, this goes on. Unfortunately seems like a long road ahead for Small Business owners around the country. We appreciate it, both of you. Thank you. Thanks for having me on. Leland gillian. Gillian President Trump is back from his trip to georgia where he rallied last night. Thousands of supporters gathered for that event in support of the gop Senate Runoff candidates. Well take you live to 1600 pennsylvania avenue next. Tech every customer has their own safelite story. This couple was on a camping trip. When their windshield got a chip. They drove to safelite for a sameday repair. And with their insurance, it was no cost to them. Woman really . Tech thats service you can trust. Singers safelite repair, safelite replace. But when i started seeing things, i didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. Im szasz. Ask your parkinsons specialist [norm] and we live in columbia, missouri. We do consulting, but we also write. [szasz] we take care of ourselves constantly; its important. We walk three to five times a week, a couple miles at a time. Weve both been taking prevagen for a little more than 11 years now. After about 30 days of taking it, we noticed clarity that we didnt notice before. Its still helping me. I still notice a difference. Prevagen. Healthier brain. Better life. Gillian President Trump is back at the white house now of a rallying support for Georgia Senate run i dont have candidates Kelly Loeffler and david perdue last night in what the campaign billed as a victory rally. Mark meredith at the white house. He has the latest how the team is feeling today. Hi, mark. Reporter gillian, President Trump appeared to be thrilled to be out on the campaign trail. The rally in valdosta, georgia, was the first one since the november election. It is very important as the republicans try to keep the gnat their control. The president made a direct pitch to voters last night. President trump the most important congressional runoff in American History i really believe that, there has never been a time like this where you have two at one time, at least you have two beauties. You know what you have two beauties running against them. Reporter the Trump Campaign has not announced anymore rallies yet but it is expected the Republican Party will continue to send highprofile surrogates like the president and Vice President down there between now and the fifth. The Vice President stopped in savannah on friday. The chairwoman of the rnc says the party plans to spend millions of dollars more to keep Georgia Senate seats in gop hand. If you want a check on Chuck Schumer and democrats and what they will do to stack the Supreme Court and get rid of the filibuster and embrace the Green New Deal and destroy our economy and destroy the country we love, we need to make sure we send republicans to the senate and keep that majority. Reporter democrats are sending their own highprofile surrogates to help counterbalance that republican punch down there in georgia. A lot can happen between now and january 5th. This week i want to mention, gillian the Trump Administration continuing to focus on a Coronavirus Vaccine. The fdaidate, a drug believed te the 95 effective against the coronavirus. A lot of people eager to see what the fda will decide. Department of health and Human Services are stepping up the Awareness Campaign trying to convince people, want the proof, now the time to get the vaccine. Gillian. Gillian one might call the Vaccine Distribution question the real trillion dollar question in washington today. Thanks so much, mark. Reporter you bet. Leland earlier today the High Plains Harvest Church held Worship Services. Unremarkable in normal times up possibly an arrestable offense because of colorado governors covid orders. Pastor mark hoteling is suing in the u. S. Supreme court to shepherd his flock in person and joins us now. Pastor, we appreciate it. Dont know howd today that the the state would actually enforce it other than removing a business license or tax status or Something Like that. You know the thing is is that all were trying to do is worship god. I mean we as christians, we can assemble. Were called to assemble by scripture and the government is putting the screws to us and were just simply using the system that god has placed over us, the authority to petition our government to stop discriminating against us. Leland the founders wrote that our rights come from god, not from government. One of those rights is the freedom of religion. This is what your petition to the Supreme Court writes. The lynchpin of the states attempted justification for discriminating against churches in favor of secular uses is that somehow churches are uniquely risky environments for the spread of covid19. The data are profoundly at odds with the states position. So as i understand it you got an issue because target and walmart are open but your church isnt able to be. Explain that. Yeah. I can go to lowes down the street and you know, there is 300 people just in the garden section. I can get on an airplane and sit six inches away from somebody. There is 100 people or whatever you know in a tube, a metal tube confined for multiple hours yet i cant have more than 15 people worshiping together. Leland jared polis, democratic governor of colorado, a very liberal one at that do you think he has something against religion and this is just sort of another way that the Democratic Left is trying to put a president thumbscrews in your words to hurt churches in america or do you think its a profound difference of opinion on the science . I dont know what jared polis heart is. All i know is that gods people are being discriminated against and this country was founded on freedom of religion and of assembly and i think there is a reason why the Supreme Court has said theyre going to look at this case. Leland this is what Justice Gorsuch has written in the past about these issues. While the pandemic poses many grave challenges there is no world in which the constitution tolerates colorcoded executive edicts that reopen Liquor Stores and bike shops but shutter churches, synagogues and mosques. Do you come at this from a unique perspective given your background in the military and time you spent overseas defending our freedoms. Did you think you would have to fight for the freedom to worship in court . I was born and raised in colorado. Im a native. I was born and raised in boulder colorado, the most liberal part of colorado. Leland yeah. No, i, i never dreamed that i would be in this position right now but i mean, ive got a job to do and thats to allow, and you know, lets be very clear, it is in our its in our filing, weve always maintained social distancing. We have provided masks. We have sanitized. We have provided all of that and the government in an emergency, can and should have the ability to you know, to be able to regulate things. Leland yeah. You about this is, this is stupid. Were beyond it and leland pastor, we appreciate you coming on and talking about it. We know there is a Long Distance between where were at right now and a Supreme Court ruling and well talk to you along the way, sir. Well let you get back to the flock through this day. We appreciate you taking the time to be with us, sir. Good to talk to you. Leland all the best, sir. Gillian . Gillian President Trump is looking to fulfill one of his Hallmark Campaign promises. Ending americas longest war in afghanistan. Can he do it safely in the few weeks weve got left . Benjamin hall is live in kabul. Hi, benjamin. Reporter gillian, were live in kahn bull. Were get mixed reactions to the impending u. S. Military drawdown. Well have the story after the break. Alright, i brought in ensure max protein to give you the protein you need with less of the sugar you dont. [grunting noise] ill take that. Woohoo 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. Ensure max protein. With nutrients to support immune health. Leland President Trump says he is going to forge ahead with his plan to withdraw 2,000 troops from afghanistan but congress is going to try to block the president s attempts with a key provision in the new defense bill. So what does this mean on the ground in afghanistan where the 9 11 attacks originated from . Benjamin hall is in kabul with what theyre saying there. Hi, benjamin. Reporter hi, leland. This drawdown is seen two very different ways in afghanistan. On other hand people here in kabul and other cities who fear, rightly so, if the drawdown goes ahead then the taliban will take over large parts of the country and freedoms they have been given over the last 20 years will disappear. If you leave the cities, speak to people in the rural areas they believe only the taliban can bring law and order peace and security at time theyre attacked by increasing taliban forces. We saw both sides of this earlier on today when we were out and about. Have a look. The taliban are not only knocking on the door of kabul, theyre already inside of kabul. Districts like this are taken over by the taliban at night. When night falls, they come in, put up roadblocks, arrest and kill people that work for the government. People here know exactly that is what will happen when the u. S. Leaves. For many people that is not a terrible concept. They are warweary. Many tell us they would welcome the taliban taking over. It brought them security. At the end of the day all they want is peace and stability. They dont mind who gives it to them. For better or worse the u. S. Drawdown is happening. President hoped to get all u. S. Troops out by christmas. That will not happen. Theyre still on target to reduce the number from 5000 to 2 1 2 thousand. At beginning of the year this were 13,000 u. S. Troops here. Nevertheless this is criticized by many, many people. That being said peace talks are underway and moving forward slowly in doha to find a settlement between the two, power sharing between the Afghan Government and taliban. Secretary pompeo has been meeting with taliban representatives to make some headway. Were hearing reports that we might hear of a ceasefire coming this week but the big question is whether the taliban will renounce al qaeda. They have not been made to do so yet. Indeed many people say including the u. N. , that in some talibanheld areas al qaeda leadership are being protected by them. Until they are renounced, then the purpose of u. S. Troops being here and prevent the country becoming a springboard for attacks, then allies say it simply isnt the right time for the u. S. To be leaving. Nato and Coalition Allies generally all feel strongly about that leland. Leland the cost of afghanistan over past 20 years in blood and treasure has been so real. Benjamin hall in kabul reporting there for the next couple days. Benjamin, thank you. Gillian. Gillian coming up next well take a look how some of our colleagues at fox news are planning to celebrate the holidays. Stick with us.
