Gillian so in that first post election interview President Trump spoke to our own Maria Bartiromo yesterday. He doubled down on the election being rigged and stolen but understands it will be difficult to change the outcome. Still insisting he is not going to accept defeat. Listen. President trump my mind will not change in six months. There was tremendous cheating here. The mailin vote is a disaster. If republicans allow it to happen, you will never have another republican elected in the history of this country. At a senate level or president ial level. Trace john roberts is live from the north lawn. Good morning. Another week, no end in sight for the president s legal battles apparently. It is going on and on and on with no end in sight. Good morning trace and gillian. The president prolific about the topic on twitter yesterday. No way did we lose this election and also questioning why republicans did so well in down ballot races particularly in the house yet he lost the president ial race according to the vote tally. Im not fighting for me but the 74 Million People not including the many trump ballots that were tossed. A record for a sitting president who voted for me. The president continuing his legal action to challenge the vote count in several states. A federal judge in georgia issued an order to wipe plans to reset dominion Voting Machines. The president yesterday making the situation in georgia personal telling our Maria Bartiromo that he is ashamed that he backed the Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in his election. The president s best chance for a remedy in all of this likely lies with the Supreme Court. His team is planning on filing an appeal in the pennsylvania case to the Supreme Court very soon. He acknowledged that getting to the Supreme Court on this is a big hill to climb. President trump well, the problem is its hard to get into the Supreme Court. Ive got the best Supreme Court advocates, lawyers, that want to argue the case if it gets there. They said it is very hard to get a case up there. The president s cybersecurity chief that was fired was on 60 minutes dismissing the campaigns challenges to the election saying the Voting System was secure. Listen here. Look, i think we can go on and on with all the farcical claims that allege interference in the 2020 election. But the proof is in the ballot its. The American People should have 100 confidence in their vote. In turn President Trump dismissing the interview saying 60 minutes never asked us for a comment about their ridiculous onesided story on Election Security that is an international joke. For how long this goes on Trump Supporters have indicated to me that likely the end of the first or second week of december we should see Movement Toward a conclusion. The president yesterday on sunday morning futures suggested it could go on well beyond that. Listen here. President trump well, i dont want to give you an actual date. A lot of people say the 18th or the 14th or january 20th. Im not going to say a date. We have to move very fast. We have been moving fast. The only thing on the president s schedule today lunch with the Vice President. As to whether or not well hear from the president today as he is fond of saying, well see. Trace. Trace we shall. John roberts live at the white house. Thank you. Gillian president elect joe biden has been hurt after playing with his dog over the weekend. The 78yearold twisted his ankle after he slipped while playing with one of his two german shepherds over the weekend. His doctors say he sprained his ankle and has hairline fractures in his right foot and now going to wear a boot for the next several weeks. President trump tweeted at biden last night telling him to quote get well soon. Meanwhile biden is set to received his first president ial Daily Briefing today. It is called the pdb after an nounsing an all female communications team. Symone sanders will be the chief spokesperson forKamala Harris and choosing his economic team. Nominations will include deese, former Federal Reserve chair janet yellen for treasury secretary and Cecilia Rouse heading up the council of economic advisors. They all held positions in the obamaBiden Administration, trace. Trace some of bidens picks seeing opposition from gop leaders with tom cotton tweeting. Biden said he wanted to unify the company but picked a National Security team weak on china. And a partisan hack who called Susan Collins the worst for omb. So much for unity. For more on this lets bring in byron york, chief Political Correspondent for the washington examiner. The person that tom cotton called the political hack was neera tanden, his selection for the office of management and budget and, you know, she has been running this liberal thinktank for the past 10 years. Clearly hasnt been overly gracious to gop senators. A spokesperson for cornyns office said she has an endless stream of disparaging congress about the republican senators whose votes she needs stands zero chance of being confirmed. What do you think, byron . First of all, anybodys chances of being confirmed depend on the outcome of the two runoff races in georgia. If republicans win the senate, they are under Mitch Mcconnell. All of joe bidens Senate Confirmed nominees will have a much tougher time getting through. They will face more scrutiny. It all depends on that. As far as neera tanden, she was the leader of a thinktank called the center for American Progress which was started back during the george w. Bush years by po december take. It was a thinktank and war room. She has been a warrior on the partisan front ever since then and she is very active on twitter attacking lots of people, lawmakers, defending things like the steele dossier, remember the steele dossier, that collection of completely unverified accusations about President Trump and russia . So if there are if there is a republican majority in the senate she will face a lot of questions. Trace speaking of the steele dossier she went after you as well in 2018 talking about her track record. Want to put this on the screen. Quoting even if this is true, hasnt the dossier been mostly proven to be true . Amazing how comfortable at the likes of byron york. Her track record isnt exactly golden on these fronts, byron. As they say on twitter that one did not age well. We found out that the f. B. I. Had worked day and night to try to verify the accusations in the dossier and could not. Then we later found out from some of the sub sources of the dossier that some of the original sources thought they were joking or passing on rumors to Christopher Steele and somehow it became this huge controversy in the trump russia affair. So to the degree she defended that and plenty of other democrats did as well she will face questions. Trace your thoughts on Foreign Policy. In the wake of the killing of irans Top Nuclear Scientist the wall street journal writes not sure who is more concerned about this, iran or obamas Foreign Policy team quoting here, in other words, the obama crowd is siding with iran against israel and the u. S. Though neither of the latter have claimed responsibility for the killing of the Nuclear Scientist the obama crowds continuing illusion shows they have learned nothing in exile. If israel did plan the assassination it surely did so because it fears the same illusions about iran are returning to u. S. Power with the Biden Administration and it must act on its own. What do you make of this, byron . Well, as you say, no one has officially claimed responsibility or credit for doing this. But i think its no accident as we approach a change in administrations with a new administration that wants to renew the Iran Nuclear Deal, something that President Trump got out of and who would probably as a result of that loosen and lessen sanctions. U. S. Sanctions on iran, which have been very, very tough from President Trump and which have done enormous damage to the iranian economy. There are a lot of moving parts here but i think the reason this is happening is that there is about to be a change in United States leadership. Trace i think thats a very fair assessment. Byron york, always good to hear from you, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Gillian now to our top developing story. The race for a covid19 vaccine is speengd up this morning. Moderna is announcing its requesting fda approval of its vaccine candidate today as covid19 cases are expected to skyrocket following the thanksgiving holiday. Casey stiegel is live in arlington. Whats the timeline here for moderna . What are they looking at . Good morning. This is big news. Moderna announced later today it will go ahead and make those official requests for the emergency use authorization with the u. S. Food and Drug Administration for its Coronavirus Vaccine that its been working on. The drug maker says the data is more encouraging from the third phase of its largescale Clinical Trial showing that the vaccine is 94. 1 effective and then efficacy goes to 100 for severe cases of covid. It is not clear how long this fda process will take. Of course, then its all about distribution and how that will be done. But it cannot come soon enough. After a record 91,635 americans now hospitalized with the virus. And medical resources are stretched so thin in many states. Healthcare providers are getting tired and exhausted. Their resources are starting to get limited. If you have any symptom that sounds like covid, call your doctor, go to the hospital. The earlier we get you the better off we are. We have treatment options. The cdc currently estimates that more than 15 of the American Population has been infected with the virus since the start of this pandemic. Thats a total caseload reaching more than 13. 4 million here in the u. S. Gillian. Gillian brutal. Casey stiegel from arlington, thank you. Well get official white house reaction to modernas emergency request for its approval of its vaccine when we talk to alex azar in a few minutes. Thats live at 9 40 eastern. Trace fox news alert now on the tugofwar between keeping people safe from covid and your religious rights. Why one pastor is still facing criminal charges after the Supreme Court weighed in on his case. And President Trump takes on big tech and the media calling them massively corrupt accusing them of trying to control the narrative. Are conservatives being targeted . Karl rove is next with that. President trump there is a tremendous move to repeal section 230. Big tech has no liability. They can do whatever they want. Its ridiculous. Irresistibly smooth chocolate. To put the world on pause. Lindor. Made to melt you. By the lindt master chocolatier. The teams been working around the clock. Wire, weve had to rethink our whole approach. Were going to give togetherness. Logistically, its been a nightmare. Im not sure its going to work. Itll work. I didnt know you were listening. Trace fox news alert. Long thanksgiving weekend in chicago is marked by more gun violence. 37 people were shot, 9 killed including a 16yearold boy who police say was fatally shot while sitting in a parked car early this morning. Police statistics show a 53 increase in shootings and killings compared to the same time last year. Gillian President Trump blasting the media and big tech in his first post election interview speaking with Maria Bartiromo yesterday accusing the press and social media executives of being massively corrupt and trying to control the narrative. Listen. President trump its a situation the likes of which we dont have freedom of the press in this country. We have suppression by the press. They suppress. You cant have a scandal if nobody reports about it. Gillian lets bring in karl rove, the former White House Deputy chief of staff to president george w. Bush. Also a fox news contributor. The perfect guy to talk to about this. Old hat by now the idea that the media is tougher on republicans than democrats but the issue of anticonservative bias is something a lot of americans are just starting to get used to now after the 2018 and now 2020 elections. Tell us your thoughts on that. First lets Say Something about the media. Yes, the media have always had a left of center bias but we have seen over the last couple of years that it is with this president at this time it is more extreme than it has ever been in our lifetimes. The animosity, hostility towards the president and his party are enormous. Not only just at the president and his party but at the voters who supported him. We had recently a figure on cable tv was quoted in vanity fair as saying wondering about all the Trump Supporters were they bat crazy . So hostility is just amazing to me. Now we have this whole social media issue. Yes, the president is both a dominant figure in that arena with his huge number of twitter followers. He has the Worlds Largest newspapers with short articles. But on the other hand there are very real concerns the media firms dominated by people who are from the center left and some very far left consciously censor conservative content and are hostile to conservative voices and as a result there are lots of interesting discussions in congress about how to rein in the social media firms but also from liberal members of congress as well. Gillian so even Governor Cuomo said at the end of last week he has never seen a press corps this disrespectful not necessarily to president personally but to the office of the commanderinchief of the United States. This is from the Media Research center. They are tracking these warning labels, the flags that twitter is putting up on different politicians posts. Between november 2 and november 16 zero biden tweets were flagged while 100 trump tweets were flagged. What does it tell us . Joe biden is better at twitter . It tells us that there is potentially bias there. Lets step back for a minute. Sometimes people deserve to be sanctioned for not being truthful in their tweets or being inaccurate in their public statements on social media. And other times theyre not. What weve got here is a consistent hostility to the center right. It is not just the president. If you look at the comparable numbers for virtually anybody who sort of hears the conservative block of people on social media platform, the liberal block, you would find numbers similar to that as well. Gillian you pointed out this criticism of the social media becoming kind of godlike in its editorial powers whether its twitter, facebook, instagram, you have it. Is bipartisan meaning democrats and republicans are really being equally critical of them lately. Do you think something is actually going to get done in a Biden Administration . You think somehow congress will decide to rally and try and do something to rein them in or will we see the hearings where they drag the executives to capitol hill . President trump and President Biden are if favor of removing a critical section of the statutes governing the federal Communications Commission that give protection to social media platforms. President trump who has long called for this has been joined by president elect biden who says we ought to get rid of this particular section. It gives them these social media firms protections on liability and support from both republicans and democrats on the antitrust action filed by the Justice Department against google. There are concerns about privacy. Where it breaks down lots of leftists want to stop the ability of these companies to make acquisitions. Conservatives dont have those feelings but a lot of common ground. Gillian one source told me to expect a long, cold winter of antitrust for google and some of the other big tech platforms. Karl rove, thank you for joining us this morning. You bet. Trace President Trump giving his first post election interview to our own Maria Bartiromo. President trump we won the election easily. There is no way joe biden got 80 million votes. No way it happened. This election was a fraud. It was a rigged election. Trace the president hitting the Justice Department accusing it of dragging its feet on potential Election Fraud. Should they be doing more . Maria joins us next with that. Plus sometimes the old ways are the better ways. The holiday tradition thats making a bigtime comeback for christmas under covid. If you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and a high risk for fracture, now might not be the best time to ask yourself, are my bones strong . life is full of make or break moments. Thats why its so important to help reduce your risk of fracture with prolia®. Only prolia® is proven to help strengthen and protect bones from fracture with 1 shot every 6 months. Do not take prolia® if you have low blood calcium, are pregnant, are allergic to it, or take xgeva®.

Speak to your doctor before stopping, skipping or delaying prolia®, as spine and other bone fractures have occurred. Prolia® can cause serious side effects, like low blood calcium, serious infections, which could need hospitalization, skin problems, and severe bone, joint, or muscle pain.

Every trip is a big deal. You can crush ice, make nismoothies, and do even more. Chop salsas, spoon thick smoothie bowls, even power through dough, and never stall. The ninja foodi power pitcher. Rethink what a blender can do. Research shows people remember so to help you remember that Liberty Mutual customizes your Home Insurance, heres one thatll really take you back. Wow whatd you get, ryan . Its customized Home Insurance from Liberty Mutual what does it do bud . It customizes our Home Insurance so we only pay for what we need and what did you get, mike . I got a bike. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Gillian welcome back to the bottom of the hour. Its time for a look at some of our top stories. Moderna announcing it will apply for emergency approval of its vaccine today after data showed it was more than 94 effective in preventing covid19. Approval could allow Vaccine Distribution to kick off as early as middecember. In a couple of weeks. Trace joe biden set to receive his first president ial Daily Briefing today after selecting more members of his communications and economic teams over the weekend. Gillian over on capitol hill incoming gop representatives are forming their own squad. At least eight newcomers are teaming up to create what they call the Freedom Force. New york rep is calling the new group a counter balance to the values of the socialist squad of the democrats. Shouldnt this be something that the f. B. I. Is investigating . Are they . Is the d. O. J. Investigating . President trump missing in action. Cant tell you where they are. I ask are they looking at it . Everyone says yes, theyre looking at it. Where are they with all of this stuff . And, you know, what happened to durham . Where is durham . I just its inconceivable. You would think if are you in the f. B. I. Or department of justice this is this is the biggest thing you could be looking at. Where are they . Ive not seen anything. Trace President Trump slamming the d. O. J. And f. B. I. s handling of his allegations of voter fraud talking with Maria Bartiromo on sunday morning futures yesterday in his First Television interview since election day. Joining us now is Maria Bartiromo, host of sunday morning futures and mornings with maria on fox business. Maria, always great to see you. The interview was fascinating. It generated all kinds of buzz which is just intriguing to watch. But when i was listening to the president there in the sound bite and yesterday watching this thing wow, it is amazing when he talks about the f. B. I. Missing in action, talks about the d. O. J. , where are they and the john durham thing. If the president doesnt know what the f. B. I. Is doing and the d. O. J. Is doing, who does . What did you make of that back and forth . Well, i think its a great point, trace. The bottom line is you are looking at surveys where 70 plus of Trump Supporters dont believe this election was fair. They think it was rigged. 26 of all voters that includes democrats believe that there was fraud in this election. That alone should be something that tips off the f. B. I. To say lets look a little closer into this and lets look closer in terms of whether or not there was. There are so many questions about this election. But the president is not aware that there is, in fact, an active investigation underway. He at one point threw out maybe they are involved. He just is stumped as far as why nobody else is looking at this. When his legal team have identified several pieces of evidence they believe will bring them to a path to victory. Theyve talked about the fact that tens of thousands of republicans were not able to observe what was going on in terms of the actual ballot counting. They are talking about up to 100,000 republicans not being able to see what was going on. Dead people voting. That we have evidence of. They say they have a stack of affidavits of people, sworn testimony that say that they saw the dominion machines change votes. They know how it works. This is all being compiled in lawsuits. The president s legal team is challenging six states. When you strip out the electoral votes of those six states you get to 232 electoral votes for President Trump versus 227 for joe biden and theyre moving forward. Well oh he see. You know there is frustration on the president s part by the fact that all of what took place in 2016 where we know for a fact that there was wrongdoing, based on robert mueller, based on the i. G. Report and there havent been any convictions. Only one guilty plea from one f. B. I. Agent Kevin Clinesmith to admitted he signed a dojt and lied about carter page being an asset of the c. I. A. A lot of frustration right now in that regard. Trace a lot of frustration and he is moving forward. Interesting because you have these irregularities and evidence and trying to compile this stuff. You talk about the common guy and the phrase you cant fight city hall, right . It seems even the president cant fight city hall. He talked about the Supreme Court with this sound bite. Let me play it and ill get your reaction. President trump ive got the best Supreme Court advocates, lawyers, that want to argue the case if it gets there. But they said its very hard to get a case up there. We should be heard by the Supreme Court. Something has to be able to get up there, otherwise what is the Supreme Court . Trace the president is fighting but he is acknowledging that its a big lift trying to get to the top court in the land. Yeah. I was struck also by that comment that the president made about the Supreme Court suggesting that he is not sure if these cases will get there. Look, i think time is of the essence for the president obviously. The certification process for street states are underway. Given theyre challenging six states it will be a heavy lift to get all of that ahead of the Supreme Court. If he can get one or two of these states in front of the Supreme Court, he could be victorious. Now the legal team told me they are expecting victories this week because theyre appealing to the Supreme Court from the case in pennsylvania. The case in pennsylvania one case has to do with the fact that some ballots were accepted after the close of the election activity at 8 00 p. M. On election night. Those ballots should be null and void and thats what they believe the Supreme Court will rule when they do appeal this week. Trace on it goes. Maria bartiromo, always good of you to join us. Thank you so much. Thank you. Gillian the Supreme Court is weighing in on religious restrictions during the pandemic. Why one pastor is now facing criminal charges.

Nfc west the San Francisco 49ers upset the l. A. Rams as time ex poured on a field goal. Green bay packers quarterback threw four touchdown passes to give them the win over the chicago bears. Trace another Big Development in the fight against covid19. Moderna announcing it is requesting emergency fda approval of its vaccine candidate today and once its approved could be shipped out within 24 to 48 hours. Lets bring in health and Human Services secretary alex azar. Thank you for coming on this morning. I was looking at a sound bite, a quote that your assistant human health and Services Secretary the admiral said yesterday. I want to play it and get your response on the other side. Watch. If we can immunize for impact. That is immune eyes those groups at the highest risk. Longterm care facilities. Elderly, minorities we can get 80 of the benefit of the vaccine by only immunizing for impact. He is talking about prioritizing. I wish we had 330 million dose on day one upon approval. Even with the incredible work of President Trump and operation warp speed and starting manufacturing in the early days of these programs, were going to have maybe 40 million doses of vaccine by the end of this year and then keep producing these different vaccines and keep producing over the course of months. We want to make sure those first vaccines, the first weeks go to those most vulnerable with the biggest impact on saving lives and protecting those most at risk like front line healthcare workers taking care of Covid Patients. Gillian you talk about the priority list. I want to run these down. Healthcare personnel. Workers in essential and critical industries. People at high risk for severe covid19 illness due to underlying medical conditions. People 65 years and older. The question is moderna saying once they give approval, we have 24 or 48 hours well get this stuff distributed. How long before the first injections happen, sir . Well, as you said it will ship within 24 hours after fda approval and really it will be up to our nursing homes, hospitals, pharmacies to get that dispensed. It really could be within days of fda approval well start seeing vaccines in peoples arms which is really incredible. 10 months into this pandemic hitting our shores thanks to what President Trump has done well have millions of people being vaccinated before christmas this year. It is unheard of in Public Health, this accomplishment. Trace when is the fda going to approve it . How long will the process take . A day, two days, how long . Pfizer submitted their application a week ago. The fda said theyll hold a Public Advisory Committee hearing december 10th. Fda could approve within days of that hearing and moderna, they filed today and there will be an Advisory Committee for them likely december 17th is what the company announced. Again, it could be within days of that Public Advisory Committee that fda grants approval if the data all confirms the way its looking. The moderna data today incredible. 30,000 people in the Clinical Trial and just released their full results. 94 effective. Its unbelievable. Trace the numbers are astonishing. How do you get people to take it . 4 in 10 americans dont want it. How do you convince people, mr. Secretary, that this is the way to go . Some of those surveys were conducted earlier when there was a Political Campaign going on. Frankly a lot of people were jumping in bed with the antivaccine crowd and denigrating the vaccine work for other purposes. Were all coming together and saying 94, 95 effective vaccine. We need to rally around this and convince people that these vaccines will really protect you and can protect our country and get us back to normal. Trace how many people do you have to convince lastly, sir . Very little time. 4 out of 10. Lets say its 3 out of 10 now. How do you convince them . Well, the process is what will convince them, i believe. It was independent. Data very strong and they will get experience as we protect our most vulnerable and healthcare workers. People will see the effect and they will want it themselves and well work to convince them of that. Trace it is moving very rapidly. Health and Human Services secretary alex azar. Thank you for joining us. Thank you, trace. Gillian the legal battle over tough covid stateled restrictions is now pitting religious freedom against Public Health. The Supreme Court is also now weighing in. Also President Trump is going after the governor of georgia. Well talk about the potential fallout for those two key Senate Runoffs ahead. President trump they had judges making deals and they had electoral officials making deals like this character in georgia who is a disaster and the governor has done nothing. Absolutely nothing. Im ashamed that i endorsed him. Another bundle in the books. Got to hand it to you, jamie. Your knowledge of victorian architecture really paid off this time. Nah, just got lucky. So did the thompsons. That faulty wiring couldve cost them a lot more than the mudroom. Thankfully they bundled their motorcycle with their home and auto. Theyre protected 24 7. Mm. What do you say . One more game of backgammon . [ chuckles ] not on your life. [ laughs ] when the lights go down i got it all from you im always pushing through i know well make it to the finish line i know youre waiting on the other side im like you ondemand glucose monitoring. Because theyre always on. Another lifechanging technology from abbott. So you dont wait for life. You live it. Trace a formula i driver is lucky to be alive after his car burst into flames. He was on the first lap of the race when his car caught fire after being sliced in two by a barrier. He was stuck inside the vehicle for 10 seconds before climbing his way out. Fortunately and amazingly he suffered only minor burns. Gillian the Supreme Court has rejected a petition from a louisiana pastor who is facing charges for violating a state ban on large gatherings. Pastor tony spell was charged with violating Governor John Bel Edwards coronavirus restrictions by repeatedly holding large church services. This decision comes after the High Court Ruled against new yorks Governor Andrew Cuomo on houses of worship saying the orders strike at the right of religious liberty. Here is tony spell from louisiana. Thank you for joining us on this cyber monday. We appreciate your time. If we read the legal tea leaves it looks like practicing worship in church during the coronavirus pandemic is okay in the state of new york but not okay in the state of louisiana. What do you make of this . The Supreme Court was not prepared to hear the pastor in america having been charged with nine crimes. Booked into prison, put on house arrest, arrested during a prayer meeting. Several arrests, all for Holding Church services and then a 19th Judicial District Court judge that said we dont have the right to preach to your congregation. With that rejection without explanation from justice alito, we do have all the ammunition that we need to come back up through the appellate courts. On the 54 ruling last week it was great wording by Justice Gorsuch when he said we are overturning the Pentecostal Church ruling and limiting the effect of the jacobson case from 1905, which is what the governors who are oneman authoritarian rules are using. The 1905 a pastor in massachusetts refused to take a smallpox vaccine and now these governors are using that to take away our religious freedoms and were not going to tolerate it. Gillian i want to pick up on something you said. It is interesting so our viewers are clear on this. Justice samuel alito took up your petition, dismissed it without referring it to the rest of the High Court Bench as would be done for a case he felt was really a high priority or had big stakes. What do you make of that . It didnt even warrant going for a full review before the entire bench. It did not and there is no explanation. This is the most important case in religious history in americas 244year history. Why . Because unlike the catholic archdiocese who stroou least restricted, we did not do that. We had the lawsuit and went on the First Amendment that congress should make no law, no law respecting the establishment of religion, which is backed up in the word of the lord. So were standing biblical convictions. So what we have no explanation for it because theyve given no reason. Now we have to go through the whole process again with different wording. So through the fifth Circuit Court of appeals. Gillian we wish you the best with this. Keep us up to date on the developments and well be tracking it. We have to leave it there. We could talk to you for the rest of the morning but we appreciate your time today. Thank you for having me, god bless america. Trace one state gives businesses the lifeline in the wake of tough covid restrictions but there is a catch. The racebased program that critics call unconstitutional and what would you do if somebody knocked on your door, showed you some official looking papers and said your home was actually theirs. It is happening in the suburbs of at least one american city. Our house zed meals fast. Zed meals fast. And because its a ninja foodi, it can do things no other oven can, like flip away. The ninja foodi air fry oven, the oven that crisps and flips away. Ill be home for christmas if only in my dreams stayed on my mind. Was another around the corner . Or could it be a different story . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily.

Using federal cares act money oregon created a covid relief fun that only blacks can access. The 62 million Oregon Cares Fund now facing two lawsuits. Officials say its legal to help the people and businesses most at risk during the pandemic. Economists at uc santa cruz has been charting businesses by race and how theyve been impacted. By the end of april this year 41 of blackowned businesses were out of business, more than all other races. More than double the percentage of whiteowned businesses. Other types of loans, there is extra scrutiny. Ive experienced it more than once myself. We have a little more difficult time accessing resources. Trace maria, a mexican immigrant who owns a coffee shop says her business has been hurt by the pandemic lockdowns and she has no better access to capital than anyone else. She wrote on facebook this lawsuit is not antiblack or prolatino but a lesson for elected officials the state has to be inclusive in all its decisions and offer equal opportunities to access funds. Edward bloom says the fund clearly violates the equal protection clause. Not to whites, not to hispanics or asianamericans or native americans but only to blacks. Thats unfair, thats unconstitutional and it is polarizing in our nation today. Half of the grant money has been disbursed already with most of the rest approved.

President trump setting his sights on battleground georgia planning a visit this coming weekend to help republican senators david perdue and Kelly Loeffler fight off democratic challengers in a pair of critical runoffs. All this as we get word a judge is freezing Voting Machines in three georgia counties. Welcome to a brandnew hour of americas newsroom. Im trace gallagher. Gillian, good morning to you again. Gillian good morning, trace. Great to be with you. Im Gillian Turner in for sandra smith today. President trump will visit the state of georgia this saturday whipping up support for senators perdue and loeffler and he says he is ashamed of endorsing georgias governor brian kemp, a republican. He has done nothing to confirm the outcome of the 2020 president ial race in georgia was accurate. Listen. President trump he has done absolutely nothing. Im ashamed i endorsed him. I look at whats going on. It is so terrible. Trace lets bring in Steve Harrigan live in atlanta. All that in a moment. What do we know about a judge freezing Voting Machines, steve . Trace, the story in georgia just getting more complicated by the day. This was the late sunday night ruling by a district judge freezing Voting Machines in three counties in georgia. It was republican suit alleging fraud. Now those Voting Machines tem temporarily cannot be wiped or reset. Based on this suit. That is how it stands right now. In the meantime the president keeping up his sharp criticism of republican officials in georgia. Those responsible for the president ial balloting. Republican governor, republican secretary of state who he referred to as an enemy of the people and also a short time ago the president tweeting the following. Why wont brian kemp, the hapless governor use his Emergency Powers that can easily be done to overrule his obstinate secretary of state and do a match of signatures on envelope . A gold mine of fraud and well easily win the state. Keep in mind the president ial vote in georgia almost 5,000 ballots has already been certified by the republican governor with joe biden having a lead of more than 12,000 votes. That vote is now being counted for the third time. That machine recount expected to end on december 2. The president comes here to georgia saturday. To campaign for two Republican Senate candidates in runoff elections set for january 5th. The real question is how much time will the president spend on the two candidates and how much will he spend on supposed fraud in the president ial election and what effect will that have on republican turnout in races that really could decide who controls the senate . Trace. Trace big deal. Steve harrigan live in atlanta. Thank you. For more on this lets bring in Chris BedfordSenior Editor at the federalist. Good to see you. In the federalist you write this about the future of trumps agenda quoting here, trump or his chosen successor might return to the white house in four years time. If he wants any insurance on weakneed republicans towing the line he and the party need to win in georgia. This is no inside baseball, anything short of a Senate Majority this january will deal the conservative populist movement a terrible blow. Explain how so exactly if you would, chris. Its an interesting fight. Right now the joe Biden Administration is going to have a lot of power when they come in through executive orders, through actions the president will take by virtue of his office and what weve expanded over the last 20 years. If he has a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House which he already has, he will be able to accomplish a lot more. Whether its the green new deal. Adding more judges to the Supreme Court of the United States. Neither perdue or loeffler are the traditional donald trump heroes. They arent typical populist conservatives. 51 votes the republicans under Mitch Mcconnell have to actually fight back. They cant just say that they are against something the democrats bring before them and if they have a republican majority they can do a lot to change the permanence of what democrats can accomplish over the next two years. Trace you point out and say look, if the democrats do control the senate maybe it takes pressure off Mitch Mcconnell. Maybe some on his side they dont have to do the battles, these battles that they were supposed to get and they dont have to, they have an excuse to lay off some of the battles that they might have fought over the next couple of years. Exactly. A lot of republican senators dont like to fight on abortion or wall funding. They wish it was behind them and in the rearview mirror. And its easier to be a u. S. Senator in opposition in d. C. You can shake your fist at the other party and say if we were in power you do Something Different and you get votes for that no matter which party are you in. If there is republican control of the u. S. Senate they have to push back and they have to make those votes and because of the way the u. S. Senate optsz just a few senators who are more conservative leaning like ted cruz can cause a lot of trouble for a democrat minority. We know that if Chuck Schumer gets his way and says now we take georgia, then we change america, they would radically change america for the worse. Were not going to let that happen. Were the firewall to socialism to stopping socialism in america right here in georgia and well do that. Trace your last thoughts on this, chris . There is a lot biden can already accomplish. For example short level amnesty and border enforcement and things like that. But if Bernie Sanders and the people who say it is the most progressives get their way they can change u. S. Citizenship laws and change a huge amount. She is right on this. They have an ambitious agenda which is why both parties are watching this so closely. Trace your thoughts on the breaking news three Voting Machines cannot be wiped or reset in georgia. Very quickly on that. What do you make of that . I think its a very, very long shot that there will be a change to the election in georgia but extremely important to the voters there they think their vote was counted and have trust in the system whether republicans or democrats. Im glad to see judges being very careful moving forward. This is an important part of our system. Trace very important state. Chris bedford. Good to see you, sir, thank you. Gillian less than two weeks after closing new York City Schools due to citywide rise in virus cases the mayor is reversing course saying the nations Largest School district will zbin a phased reopening next week. Dr. Anthony fauci is weighing in and schools are not the places to be closed in order to contain the pandemic. Close the bars and keep the schools open. If you mitigate the things you know are causing spread in a very, very profound way and a robust way, if you bring that down, you will then indirectly and ultimately protect the children in the schools. Gillian David Lee Miller joins us from new york city now. Hi, david lee. Tell us what you are hearing from parents about how theyre feeling about the flipflop from mayor deblasio. This latest flipflop as well as a number of multiple delays and reopening schools have made many parents feel both confused and angry. We give you the back story right now. Nearly two weeks ago new york city mayor bill deblasio shut schools because the infection rate hit a threshold of 3 . Critics thought that was arbitrary and questioned the wisdom of shutting schools. While bars and restaurants were allowed to remain open. Now the mayor has changed his minds and said so kids can return to the classroom. Previous weeks andrew cuomo and mayor have disagreed on the criteria for shutting schools. Teachers union which initially sided with deblasios shutdown has changed its position and supports a possible reopening citing a lower transmission rate in classrooms than the rest of the community. The mayor says more frequent random testing is a requirement for reopening. We will have testing that is going to go from monthly in every school to weekly in every school. We will have consent forms required for attendance. While many parents welcome the return to classroom instruction they also say contradictory statement and lastminute Decision Making made the process more difficult. I do think it is the right answer for the greater good. I just wish there was a little bit more preparation for the going back and forth. At the end of the day im hopeful it will create more resilient kids. Not all children are going to immediately return to class. The inperson instruction now is only for prek through 5th grade as well as special education students. The district has 1. 1 Million Students enrolled. Of those, about 190,000 are actually going to be returning to the classroom. We expect to hear more about plans for inperson instruction regarding older students very soon from the mayor. Back to you. Gillian Largest School district in the country. Thank you. Trace the drug maker moderna filing for emergency approval for its covid vaccine. But the question is who should get it first .

All part of new restrictions to fight a surge in cases of covid19. The 49ers say theyre working an alternate plans to host their games and find a training facility. Gillian police in seattle and its surrounding suburbs are warning homeowners about this group thats going around knocking on peoples doors in luxury waterfront locations there. The people produce this officiallooking document that claim theyre the rightful owners of those properties where they are knocking on doors. Investigators say these people are part of a socalled Sovereign Citizens Movement and have been known to operate in other parts of the country, too. Their Group Believes they own all of the land between alaska and argentina and all the islands in between. Unfortunately, edmund, washington falls in that land. This is happening in other places, not just seattle. Were hearing instances of this in north carolina, even here on the east coast and maryland. What is this . Aside from it sounding like pretty much every americans Worst Nightmare what are we dealing with . It does really sound like it is coming from a horror movie. Theyre an extremist squatters group. They go in and generally target homes recently sold with the intent of squatting. Now obviously when they knock on someones door and someones answer they have the intent of conning their way in to take over the land they believe that they settled in this land prior to this government being established, thus none of the laws actually apply to them. Now, the weird thing about this here at least in the seattle area is that they arent actually breaking any laws. They are polite, forceful but polite when they are having conversations with the homeowners three trying to dupe. When theyre told to leave they leave the property. And so the police are basically just keeping an eye on them. The f. B. I. Is involved. They are aware of whats going on. Mostly because when there is an empty home, whether its in the waterfront of this city or wherever it is theyre going they want to make sure they keep the people out. As of right now they havent gotten violent, which we cant say has not been the case in the past outside of this general area. Gillian thats a real blessing. They havent gotten violent yet with any of the houses they try to sneak in and squat. Lets pull up everything we know about this group. So they call themselves the mooreish sovereign citizens founded in 1990. Estimated there are about 3,000 to 4,000 followers in this group all across the United States and as you mentioned, jason, they believe that because theyre part of this socalled sovereign nation they are immune from most u. S. Laws. Now, the southern poverty law center, jason, we also know has labeled them an Extremist Group which honestly sounds a little more accurate, right . These are people trying to steal other americans homes. Yeah. They are crazy people. Thats what we would generally call someone who knocks on our doors and demands they somehow own land that we know they dont. So yes, are they an Extremist Group in the sense they pose a direct threat . Not this instance yet but i think there is reasonable concern if you are a homeowner who feels threatened by some weirdo coming up to your door and demanding that you leave, if you are someone who is armed you might grab that weapon to defend yourself house. So again thats part of the reason why were spending so much time on this getting this story out there. It is not necessarily new for this region. Just because we have had instances of this happening over the years and generally it figured itself out. No one is expecting the knock at the front door and encounter people making these claims. It is very peak 2020. Of all the years well get these kinds of stories 2020 seems like the right one. Gillian do you have any advice for those of us who are just hearing about this for the first time . People who might be worried about this happening in their neighborhood or in their state, how to respond . Lets say these mooreish sovereign citizens show up at your house door tomorrow. What do you recommend you say to them to move them along and get them out of there without any kind of incident . Tell them that they have to leave your property. That they are trespassing and that you are calling the police. Then actually call the police. They arent allowed to be there. After they called police here, Police Made Contact with two members of the group and served them with criminal trespass warnings. Now if they were to come back to that home and bother the homeowner again, they actually are breaking the law under Washington State law and they can be arrested. As far as the reporting goes, theyre aware of that which is kind of weird. They say none of the laws apply to them. They arent returning to the homes which they have criminal trespass orders against them. Gillian its an interesting take on the way stuff is supposed to work but you give us good advice there. You want to build a Police Record if you have interactions to these people so they know how to help you. Thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. Thank you, appreciate it.

Gillian shooters killed at least nine people and injured 28 others across the city of chicago during the thanksgiving weekend. Police stats show an increase in killings compared to the same time last year. Trace a group of newlyelected house members say they are the answer to the squad and other progressive members. They call themselves Freedom Force. One of the members florida congressman elect Byron Donalds explaining why they joined forces. The left has people who are out there every single day pushing this narrative that america is some worseoff country that we need a heavy hand from government. That you have to have the ultraprogressive leftwing policies. Were standing against that and support the constitution and support free markets and well support individual liberty and take that message to all voters across america. Trace lets bring in our panel. Kristin tait, from Young Americans for liberty and Richard Fowler is a fox news contributor. Thank you for coming on. Kristin, what do you think of the socalled Freedom Force that say they want nothing more than smart policies, they want to follow the constitution, and they want individual liberty pushing back against the squad, kristin. This is fantastic. Joe biden might have won the white house but the election was also a repudiation of the lefts far wing agenda down ballot and this contrast between the farleft squad and the Freedom Force i think perfectly symbolizes the ongoing battle for the soul of the nation right now. On one hand you have the ideology that wants topdown federal control of every aspect of American Life and wants to dismantle capitalism. On the other hand you have the folks with this deep love of country and the principles the country was founded on and want to get the government out of the way to let americans live out their dreams and let entrepreneurs flourish. Every single republican in the house should be a Freedom Force and democrats should, too. It shouldnt be very controversial. For too long now the left has utilized its allies in the media and Corporate America and big tech to push this radical poisonous ideology that worships government and can tear this country down. This is a good thing to see. Trace kristin is a yes. Were taking that she is a yes on the Freedom Force. I want to play this sound bite from gop congresswoman elect Nicole Malliotakis from new york and get your reaction, richard. Watch. I think what you will see is a group of individuals who are going to serve as a counter balance to the values of the socialist squad. What we stand for are freedom, liberty, we love this nation. The theme here richard is the that the progressives dont love this nation as much as the Freedom Force does. Your thoughts on that. Listen, last time i checked i love this country and so does the president elect and Vice President elect. And i think that sort of what the most shocking thing about the Freedom Force is. They are trying to debate love of country. Every american who serves in our government loves this country. If the fight is around insure americans have access to healthcare and highquality Public Education or insuring that americans dont have to wait in mileslong food lines to have a meal then lets fight it out, right . Thats what america should be. America should be a place for opportunity and capitalism rein but also a place we look out for the most vulnerable to make sure everybody has access to equitable treatment and healthcare and equitable education and thats what joe biden and Kamala Harris is going to do when they get into the white house. Trace i want to move on topics. This is Kamala Harris. She tweeted Small Businesses urgently need relief to survive the effects of coronavirus this winter. Joe biden and i are committed to helping these businesses during this pandemic and get them the support they need to thrive in years to come. But when the majority of those minorityowned Small Businesses were under pressure during the riots and unrest and they were getting looted and robbed Kamala Harris tweeted this. If youre able to chip in now to the mnf freedom fund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in minnesota. So she wanted to help those who were being arrested for looting those businesses a few months ago, now she wants to help them, kristin. Thats exactly right. Im not going to criticize harris for her tweet. Small businesses are the lifeblood of this country. They employ half of americans. But i will criticize her for hypocrisy because her previous actions and rhetoric have not been particularly supportive of Small Businesses. It was heartbreaking to watch these Business Owners look on as their hard work and dreams went up in flames often literally during these riots and harris tweeted out that people should bail out these criminals who did this . And then meanwhile of course harris and joe biden and these other left wingers have been supportive of the draconian lockdowns that have been devastating to Small Businesses and theyve indicated that they would continue to support these measures and more Strict Lockdown pressures when they get in office. I dont have a lot of hope for Small Business under a Bidenharris Administration. If you want Small Business to flourish you dont want to repeal tax cuts and put in place more lockdowns. I support the tweet but it flies in the face of her previous rhetoric. Trace back in the summer when she issued that tweet, richard. It was interesting. There were some noticeable pushback even among democrats for her saying she wanted to come out and generate money to get some of these people looting these businesses out of jail. Your final thoughts. Listen, its worth poingt out both joe biden and Kamala Harris where they stand today. They dont want to shut down the economy. They want to shut down coronavirus and do everything in their power to do that. Its worth pointing out the new york Federal Reserve indicated that almost half of black businesses have shut their doors since the beginning of this pandemic. The white house has said nothing about that. Kamala harris and joe biden are not only concerned about that one of the legislation youll see them pass in their first 100 days is stimulus package targeted at these businesses because they understand as kristin mentioned these business rest the lifeblood of this country. If you lose half of black businesses we have a lot of pain in a lot of communities and Kamala Harris is focused on that. Trace a lot of businesses we talk to arent confident they get a bunch of help from the incoming administration. Richard and kristin. Thank you for joining us. Gillian.

They are blaming the country for the assassination of tehrans Top Nuclear Scientist that happened friday. An advisor to the Supreme Court leader says they are planning a calculated response. One newspaper there is even calling for a revenge attack on an israeli city. Were joined by retired four star general jack keen, the chairman of the institute for the study of war and fox news senior strategic analyst. General, thank you for joining us today. This attack were hearing from middle east experts was complicated, expensive, required gunmen and ex closeives and all kinds of coordination. For this reason a lot of folks are pointing to israel. What are you thinking about that . I put my money on that for sure. The israelis are operating their team inside iran with the most successful penetration of a foreign power ive seen in my lifetime. It is quite extraordinary the extent to which this Organization Goes and the imagination they display in their operations. Yes, they have killed Nuclear Scientists before. Why . They want to delay iran having a Nuclear Weapon. In 2018 they went into a warehouse in downtown tehran and took out truck loads of classified information, brought them back to tel aviv, put it on television which provided tangible evidence that iran is pursuing the development of a Nuclear Weapon which it has always denied. They also participate with the United States in a very sophisticated computer virus which destroyed part of Irans Nuclear enterprise going back 10 years ago. And right now as we speak gillian, there are dozens of explosions taking place throughout iran, most notably at the uranium enrichment plant and production facility. Iranians are shrugging their shoulders and saying theyre accidents. The casual observers knows they arent accidents. They are likely israel assisted by ranian resistance groups. A campaign that the israelis are conducting to clearly slow down the iranians pursuit of a Nuclear Weapon that they believe rightfully so a threat to their survivability. Gillian the u. S. Also believes that. General, you mentioned that iran has continued to pursue Nuclear Weapons. Continuing to enrich uranium and did this while they were part of the Iran Nuclear Deal and doing it now that the United States are no longer a part of the nuclear deal. What does the next administration, the Biden Administration, do with this . When they come to pennsylvania avenue january 20th whats the first thing they need to do . They will have a problem or strategic blunder i think it will be here. I dont think it will be with china or with russia. Because of the investment that they had made in the past that most people believe now the socalled nuclear deal that was made in 2015 is fundamentally flawed. Five years later the contours have changed so much in the middle east i hope they take a bow to what has happened and use the strategic gains as leverage for themselves. What am i talking about . Arab israeli normallyization. The shift thats taken place before our eyes. The trump campaigns maximum pressure of sanctions have the iranians on their heels in a way i havent seen in 40 years. Take those two and put them together and the biden team would have real leverage to do what . Formulate a much better deal with the iranians. What would that mean . A permanent prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, un, permanent prohibition of missiles. And curtail conflict operations in syria, yemen and iraq. They put the stuff on the table in 2014 and 2015 and the iranians said we wouldnt concede. We are wound up with a deal that was flawed. This is a test for the new administration. Dont reject the trump teams gains in the region. Use them as leverage against the iranians and exploit them and bring iranians to a much better deal to protect that region in terms of its security and stability. Gillian you know, biden has made no bones about the fact he wants to rejoin the nuclear deal so the Million Dollar question is how easy, general, will it be for him to do that . Well talk to you about that next time we have you on the program. We have to leave it there for now. Thank you always for your insight and expertise. We appreciate it. Good talking to you, gillian. Good seeing you. Thank you. Trace big news on covid19 vaccine. Moderna applying today for emergency authorization. Thanks to what President Trump has done here, we believe well have people getting vaccinated, millions of people, before christmas this year. It is just unheard of in the history of Public Health. Hhs secretary alex azar says were on track to produce millions of doses by years end. Who should get it first . Dr. Marc siegel is next with that. Here today, gone tomorrow. The mystery over that metal monolith in the utah desert takes another bizarre turn. I got it all from you im always pushing through i know well make it to the finish line i know youre waiting on the other side im like you ondemand glucose monitoring. Because theyre always on. Another lifechanging technology from abbott. So you dont wait for life. You live it. Trace weird, right . Less than 10 days after it was discovered a mysterious silver monolith disappeared. All that was left when hikers arrived was a triangular piece of metal. Sides appeared to be made of stainless steel. Still no word on who was behind it but some folks think it was an art installation. Were going to have maybe 40 million doses of vaccine by the end of this year and then keep producing of these different vaccines and keep producing over the course of months. So we want to make sure those first vaccines, the first weeks go to those most vulnerable, those with the biggest impact on saving lives and also protecting those most at risk like front line healthcare workers. Gillian thats Health Secretary alex azar earlier on the program laying out the plan for Vaccine Distribution after moderna becomes a second drug maker to seek emergency approval. If the process goes smoothly the first vaccine injections could begin before the end of 2020. Now meanwhile a cdc panel is scheduled to meet tomorrow to vote on who gets the very first doses. Dr. Marc siegel is a professor of medicine at nyu Medical Center and also a fox news contributor. Dr. Siegel, this vaccine news i think all americans can agree is just the best possible news to cap off this year but now were confronted with this sort of trillion dollar question, which is about the ethics of Vaccine Distribution. Who should get it first, when, why, what are your thoughts on that . It seems like folks can agree that healthcare workers need it soon but what about children versus the elderly . What kind of underlying conditions, so on and so forth. What are your thoughts on this . Gillian, the Advisory Committee on immunization practices for cdc will be meeting to decide just this issue. I think you can tell from your interview with alex azar healthcare workers will be at the front of the line. I think they should be for two reasons. First of all, healthcare workers that are on the wards taking care of Covid Patients are at the most risk. You will see how well the vaccine works for protection. Secondly, healthcare workers are a great group to send the message out to the country we took it, it was safe, we did well, were protected, now you can do it. Thats a great message coming from physicians and nurses to the country. I also think that elderly will be at the front of the line. Nursing homes have to be better protected. With this effective vaccine, pfizer and moderna over 94 effective well be able to protect highrisk groups by vaccinating them directly. Really great. To your other point i think poor people, people in underserved areas, they are getting the worst cases of covid and getting it more than anyone else. Those areas have to be reached. It will be hard to get the Pfizer Vaccine in there because it has to be kept on dry ice. The moderna could be kept in a regular refrigerator. We have to know how to get the underserved areas. Gillian how about teachers . Opening up schools and getting young kids back to classrooms so they dont continue to fall behind and suffer the Mental Health consequences where do teachers fit in . I like that idea. Thats the first ive heard that mentioned. You know what . Teachers would fit under a group called essential workers. Essential workers are on the table. While its true that schools are not the area of greatest spread, in fact very little spread goes on among our youngest children, nevertheless its two times greater for teachers and staff and so in fact they should be towards the front of the line for vaccination. And that will also prevent present another layer of comfort about keeping the schools open. Gillian quick couple only a couple seconds left, dr. Siegel. How long after this vaccine get rolled out can americans expect to stop Wearing Masks and social distancing and taking the precautions . Give us a guess. I think its a good habit. If we get 40 million doses of the vaccines out by the end of the year or the beginning of next year and end up with the astrazeneca vaccine and one or two more by midspring if we have 200 million or 300 Million People vaccinated we can stamp it out and get herd immunity. We wont see it until mid to late spring. Gillian thank you for sharing your expertise. We appreciate it as always. Trace good to see dr. Marc. Cancel culture comes for katy perry again.

Meantime were learning about Vaccine Distribution. Alex azar, health and Human Services secretary, on americas newsroom a bit earlier.

It really could be within days of fda approval well start seeing vaccines in peoples arms. Its incredible. Think about this. 10 months into that pandemic hitting our shores thanks to what President Trump has done here we believe well have people getting vaccinated. Millions of people, before christmas this year. It is just unheard of in the history of Public Health. Trace pfizer expecting emergency use approval for its vaccine within just weeks. The Bidenharris Administration shaping up and putting more cracks in the grass ceiling with the first allfemale communications team. Welcome back to americas newsroom. Im trace gallagher. Hello. Gillian great to be with you for the third hour. Great to be with everybody at home. Sandra smith is off today. President elect biden will be sporting a walking boot for several weeks. He fractured his foot yesterday playing with one of his two dogs. He is also more importantly unveiling his communications team. He has selected all women for the top roles. They include familiar faces from the Obama Administration and the biden president ial campaign. Peter doocy joins us from wilmington, delaware with the breakdown on that. Good morning. The last time we saw the president elect he was limping out of an Orthopedic Office in the wilmington, delaware area after a twohour consultation. He was on his way to get a ct scan at a separate facility. And that scan confirmed that he has hairline fractures in the middle of his foot lateral and intermediate bones, the Transition Team didnt tell anybody about the injury on saturday when it happened. A day passed and the press pool thought they were on the way to church. When they popped up at the doctor instead. Our camera angle did not show him using crutches or a cain to get into the s. U. V. The walking boot is there for a few weeks according to bidens doctor. President elect will stay home for the rest of today and officials tell us not to expect to see him but tomorrow he is going to host an inperson event in wilmington to announce his intent to nominate janet yellen and neera tanden for management and budget. The Transition Team announced an allfemale Communications Staff led by Kate Beddingfield and jen psaki. The biden team has entertained the idea of resuming Daily Press Briefings at the white house. That hasnt been the case so far in the transition. Weve been getting one briefing via zoom per week but another more pressing briefing will happen today. That is the president elect and Vice President elect will get the first ever classified president ial Briefing Since the election. Gillian. Gillian important step for National Security. Peter doocy in wilmington, thanks so much. Trace now reaction to joe bidens staff picks so far with some concerns about careen john pierre. Critics calling her an antiisrael radical after praising democrats for boycotting last years proisrael gathering known as apec. Another biden pick could spark a fight as republicans take issue with neera tanden to head up the office of management and budget. She has an endless stream of disparaging congress about the senators she needs stands zero chance of being confirmed. Michael goodwin, New York Post columnist and fox news contributor. We should note that tweet says if the republicans maintain control of the senate. I want to put up this senator tom cotton tweet talking about neera tanden here. Biden said he wanted to unify the country but picked a National Security team that is weak on china, dhs nominee who sold visas for powerful political friends and partisan hack who called Susan Collins the worst for omb. So much for unity. Again talking about neera tanden, office of management and budget. What do you make of the makeup so far, michael, of the Biden Cabinet . Well, trace, good morning. My concern is not so much with the individuals but it is with the policies that they have pursued in the past. And to me it is almost as though the last four years didnt happen. Thats the way the biden team seems to be looking at the world. So you take Foreign Policy for example. The iranian situation, the mideast. President trumps policies of uniting israel with the arab nations against iran flies directly in the face of the john kerry nomination, for example. John kerry who said there could never be an arab peace with israel as long as the palestinians werent involved. President trump and his team proved john kerry absolutely wrong. Now john kerry is coming back again and you have to believe, as joe biden said he wanted to rejoin the Iranian Nuclear deal, that he will try to do that. But why would you do that . You have iran back on its defenses now. You have the Economic Situation in iran very serious because of american sanctions. The world now recognizes that the israeli peace with the arabs does not need the palestinians and that it works only as long as you are not codling iran. Why would you coddle iran . Another example in terms of the american economy. Joe biden wants to raise taxes. But why would you raise taxes in an economy that before the pandemic had set historic lows for unemployment for africanamericans, for latino americans, for women, and for the country as a whole in many cases . Why would you want to go back to policies that failed to do that and replace the ones that succeeded . I think the issue with joe biden is almost as though he wants to turn back the clock to a time when he was more comfortable with the people and the policies that he is now bringing back. Trace i want to get your thoughts on careen john pierre in a second on the iran thing. John keane was with us last hour talking about the fact that we know iran during the nuclear deal were cheating. That came forth. The idea of jumping back into a nuclear agreement. Well move on after a 15 seconds. Your thoughts. John kerry said they recognized some of the money the Obama Administration gave to iran went to fund terrorism. Joe biden said he would not have taken out soleimani. Why would you want to return to that world . Trace this is from careen jean pierre. She said this. Its time to call a spade a spade. Apec is not progressive. You cant call yourself a progressive while continuing to associate yourself with an organization like apec that has often been the antithesis of what it means to be progressive. Your final thoughts on her, michael. Look, i think thats clearly representative of the far left wing of the Democratic Party or more accurately the far, far left wing of the Democratic Party and joe biden bringing that into his white house on the issue of israel i think is a big mistake and it is going to further divide the party rather than unite it. Certainly not going to unite america. President trumps policies united the country around the good policy in the mideast. If biden undoes that, that will be his problem now. Trace some say the president elect is trying very hard to play indicate some progressives on the left. Michael goodwin, always good to see you. Thank you, sir. Thank you, trace. Gillian President Trump gave his first tv interview since the election talking to our own Maria Bartiromo slamming the d. O. J. For refusing to investigate his claims of voter fraud but he knows he wont be able to change the result of the election. John roberts joins us live from the white house with the latest on this. Good morning, john. Good morning to you. Get to that in a second. In the last hour the president enthusiastically weighing in on the big news of the day in the past hour that you mentioned at the top of the hour, the fact that moderna is now applying for the fda for emergency use authorization for its candidate vaccine. He tweeted. They must act quickly. Operation warp speed has been a great modernday miracle the president hoping to get action on his challenge for the mailin votes. Yesterday the president wondered where the f. B. I. And department of justice are in all of this accusing them of being missing in action. Listen here. President trump i asked are they looking at it . Everyone says yes, theyre looking at it. You would think if you are in the f. B. I. Or department of justice, this is the biggest thing you could be looking at. Where are they . Ive not seen anything. I just they just keep moving along and they go on to the next president. The president s legal Team Planning to file an appeal with the Supreme Court regarding its challenge to mailin votes in pennsylvania and movement in georgia. The federal judge ordering dominion Voting Machines in three counties to be impounded and not wiped or reset. The president also taking aim at Georgia Governor Brian Kemp tweeting why wont the hapless governor of georgia use his Emergency Powers to overrule his secretary of state and do a match of signatures on envelopes. A gold mine of fraud and well easily win the state. He was a big supporter of kemp during his election and now regrets backing him and ashamed he endorsed kemp. How long it will go on, aides to President Trump suggested to fox news it could be the first or second week of december before we see this wrapping up to a conclusion. But the president now saying that it could go on well past that. Listen here. President trump well, i dont want to give you an actual date. A lot of people say the 18th or the 14th or they say january 20th. Im not going to say a date. Ly say we have to move very fast. We have been moving fast. The president told me weeks ago he believes it will all eventually end up at the Supreme Court but he also told our Maria Bartiromo, gillian, as you pointed out, it is difficult to get in front of the Supreme Court with a case like this. The president nowhere near conceding defeat yet but suggesting that it may be difficult to move forward in this playing field. Gillian maybe inching towards that outcome there, john roberts live from the white house north lawn. Thank you. Trace a new threat from iran after the dramatic attack that took out the countrys Top Nuclear Scientist. One of irans main newspapers is rallying the public to demand revenge and were now getting new details on exactly where they want to strike and cause massive casualties. Former deputy National Security advisor k. T. Mcfarland will join us with her reaction. New york citys mayor admit i had he closed schools without a plan to get them back open. Now big deblasio is talking about an about face after hearing from outraged parents. Well have that plus troubling new stats on just how much children are hurting while classrooms are closed. Even yesterday you heard dr. Fauci echo a very similar sentiment saying that children should be back in school. I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment.

Gillian new york citys mayor says Public Schools there will reopen december 7th for elementary grades coming sunday. A major reversal from the mayor. He ordered schools shut down less than two weeks ago due to increasing covid19 cases spread out across the city. The outrage from families came in loud and clear, he says. He also says he heard this message over and over again over the past week. So new York City Schools will reopen for all grade levels beginning december 10th. Trace many times, many schools around the country have reverted fwook Remote Learning as coronavirus cases keep going up. New reports show that Online Learning is resulting in a significant drop in students academic performance with evidence pointing to failing grades across the country. Jackie deangelis from fox business is live in new york city. Jackie, are School Districts now having second thoughts . Good morning. Mayor deblasio is a good example. He is doing this 180. He is having second thoughts and new york city cried out for this phased reopening. It is not just here. Across the Country Schools are considering going remote again because of the spike were seeing in covid cases but even dr. Fauci who warns of those spikes says that schools need to stay open. Listen. Obviously you dont have one size fits all but as i said in the past and as you accurately quoted me, the default position should be to try as best as possible within reason to keep the children in school to get them back to school. Trace long term Remote Learning is reducing students engagement, performance and development. In virginia the fairfax Public Schools which have been operating online published an internal analysis showed the percentage of middle school and High School Students who flunked at least two classes jumped from 6 to 11 . Parents ever kids in Public Schools in new york city saying theyre hiring private tutors, working with other parents to form joust side pods with teachers to keep the kids motivated and learning. Academic development is only one piece of this. There is also real concern about social development. Kids in isolation are having all sorts of trouble. The longer it goes on the more people worry it will have a devastating longterm impact. Trace Jackie Deangelis live for us on fox business. Thank you. Gillian for more lets bring in a woman affiliated with Charter Schools. Students are america while under performing doing Remote Learning and also failing more than ever before. Take a look at this. Were seeing this is reporting from fairfax county, virginia, Public Schools there. Students with at least two failing grades last year in the First Quarter 5,359. First quarter this year 9,698. Thats an 83 increase. Does that shock you . It troubles me and i dont think it shocks me because in many areas remote means that there is no teaching going on. In new york city while mayor deblasio is bringing back classrooms there are 700,000 that are left without any instruction. And this is really a matter of the Teachers Union contract. If you scan that contract endtoend it is as tall as the Washington Monument and the unions have said we cant be forced to teach remotely. Imagine if fox news said there is no interviewing because people cant come in person. That would be ridiculous. We at success are teaching a regular school day. Kids need to be learning. Whether its remote or on campus. On campus is definitely better. It needs to be of high quality. Gillian as i understand it, eva, one of the main worries is not just about these this drop in terms of grades that were seeing. It is not just about this moment right now. It is about what the future looks like for these students. A lack of education doesnt impact them today. It impacts them tomorrow and the day after when they go to high school and college and in the job market. Whatever they choose to do it will follow them for years. If you look at Something Like mathematics. The concepts in third grade math are necessary for fourth grade math. If you lose that mathematical understanding, you will be impeded quite immediately. You dont even have to wait way into the future. The learning loss is very considerable and that is in part the way were doing Remote Learning in most places across the country. It is just worksheets, google classroom. It doesnt have to be that way. But look, we need to get back on campus as soon as possible. We need the vaccine distributed. We also have a Regulatory Framework that makes it very hard to do inperson learning. We are gillian i want to make sure while we have time we get your thoughts about Charter Schools and the incoming Biden Administration. Weve been talking to teachers and administrators tell us theyre a bit concerned what a Biden Administration is going to do in terms of clamping down on Charter Schools. Look at this from the wall street journal. They say mr. Biden has formed closer ties to Teachers Unions called for greater accountability for Charter Schools. Read the tea leaves there. What is greater accountability for Charter Schools mean to you . Well, there is a level of concern. I would just point to the fact that biden got elected with a very strong black and brown base of support and parents have really voted with their feet. They dont want to be assigned to a Failing School by a distant district government office. They believe in School Choice and the ability to choose a school that is right for ones own children. I think at the end of the day that sentiment will be very powerful. Gillian lets hope so. Thank you for joining us today and sharing your perspective and expertise. We wish you the best going forward. Gillian trace. Trace Public Health officials sound the alarm at covid hospitalizations break records.

Casey stiegel is live in arlington, texas with more on this. How many doses of this vaccine from moderna will be made available once it is approved . Thats exactly right, gillian. If and when it is approved the drug maker says it plans to have about 20 million doses here in the United States before the end of this year and then that the drug maker would be on track to manufacture some 500 million to 1 billion doses globally for 2021. Now the u. S. Food and Drug Administration approval could take up to two weeks. Not only do the Clinical Trials show that 94. 1 efficacy rate but 100 when it comes to preventing severe covid cases. Here is the companys chief medical officer. You know, on a personal level when we saw the first results i think we were all really, really relieved and enthusiastic.

Gillian as covid lockdowns and restrictions ramp up one new york city councilman defied Governor Cuomos rule hosting an 11 person dinner. His rules are lacking basic humanity. 11 isnt different from 10. Maybe having a party of 50 people, thats the nuance he lacks. No one wants to spread covid or be reckless to prove points. Congressman borelli joins us now. Sounds like you had a good thanksgiving. Why flout the governors policies . Whats the point . Look, trace, a lot of the cdc, a lot of governors and Health Departments around the country offered very good guidelines and recommendations for how to limit the spread of covid in your house with your family. My family we all got tested, followed those rules. Governor cuomo went one step too far. He passed an executive order, became angry when Law Enforcement wouldnt enforce it and got mad. The end result he has become this meme. This cardboard cutout that people are posting pictures and taking pictures with on their home holidays on thursday. And like i said, we did every precaution we possibly could. My family is 11 people. Some peoples family is 10. Some peoples 4. Ours is 11. We werent going to let andrew cuomo dictate who can come into our own house. Trace here is a picture of you, the pick if you picture of the governor in your window. Here is what he said in reference to the meme going around new york. A little cartoon of me looking in the window on thanksgiving. Im not looking in your window on thanksgiving is. Nobody is. You know everything i know. It is up to you. And the results are going to be decided by you. Trace the theme he is not looking if your window. People are frustrated because it feels like people are looking in the windows. Los angeles theyre shutting down restaurants acknowledging they have no science that eating outdoors causes coronavirus. It is this perception and people are kind of tired of being looked at inside their homes. To be clear he was very concerned and lashed out at the press when he was informed that some Law Enforcement around new york state werent going to enforce this. He did want there to be some enforcement associated with this. I think youre right. People are really starting to get sick and tired of the lockdowns. We learned a lot about the virus. We learned a lot about treating the virus. The rates are very much lower than they were then. The gut reaction and the knee jerk reaction cant be just to lock down businesses once again going to what we can see is a second wave.

The iranians will be in a position where they have to retaliate. I dont see any way around it. They will have to save face and so now this issue becomes what does that retaliation look like .

Trace developing right now the tension between i ran and israel and the United States escalating. They blame israel for the killing of its scientist, Remote Control machine guns and nissan trucks wired to selfdestruct blowing up once the deal was done. We have more. Along with a burial of that iranian Nuclear Scientist today a new take on how he died. The man believed to be a key player in tehrans covert Nuclear Weapons program was put to rest the top iranian brass to continue on his path with more speed and power. They claim the scientist was ambushed outside a tehran by a satellitecontrolled remotely operated machine gun mounted on the back of a pickup truck which was then blown up to maybe destroy the evidence. Earlier they had said a team of gunman. They blamed israel for the attack claiming israeli markings were found on the murder weapon. They called for punishment. One figure today saying the city of haifa in israel should be targeted. Israel is denying it but putting its embassies on high alert. Uss Aircraft Carrier nimitz and fleet on high alert in the region as well. Gillian an iranian newspaper is now calling for the regime to strike one of israels largest cities, haifa demanding heavy human casualties as revenge. A stark reminder that iran defied the terms of the nuclear deal. President elect biden wants to rejoin that deal as quickly as possible. K. T. Mcfarland is President Trumps former National Security advisor and also the author of revolution, trump, washington and we the people. K. T. Im glad to have you on this. If we put the nuclear deal aside for a second. Well come back to that in a minute and just game this out. It seems like the nearest concern right now is whether and how iran will retaliate for this strike. Can you game out for us some of those options, what you think they are most likely to do . I think they have to do something. They will feel their National Pride is at stake. What will they do . Missile attack on haifa . The israelis can handle that. Theyll do something. My guess is they wont be able to escalate it in a great way. Why . Theyre thinking the Biden Administration will come back in and good days all over again, we dont want to provoke anything, we want to be the aggrieved partner. So the Biden Administration will come back to the Obama Administration prejudices, antiisrael, proiran. I think it will be something but not escalating to provoke or sparks any kind of world war iii in the middle east. Gillian thats good. Whats the United States number one interest . What worries you about this regarding our own situation here in the United States . Thats why its important to figure out what does it mean for us here in america . I look at that region and say the Iran Nuclear Deal, the Obama Administrations singular Foreign Policy achievement was all smoke and mirrors. Never anything to it. It never stopped Irans Nuclear program and where will we be now . The Biden Administration comes in as they promise want to revive it, get back into it and so what will happen is iran will continue its Nuclear Program. The International AtomicEnergy Agency has already said iran cheated throughout even when they were part of the deal iran cheated. They always had their own Nuclear Weapons program. Other countries in the region like saudi arabia has already announced will say if iran is getting Nuclear Weapons, Biden Administration wont do anything about it well create a Nuclear Weapons program of our own. Then within a short period of time you have an arms race in the middle east. This time a nuclear arms race. This region as you know, gillian, it is so explosive. These guys shouldnt be allowed to play with matches much less have Nuclear Weapons. Gillian you say that under the Obama AdministrationNuclear Deal Iran continued developing Nuclear Weapons but also the case that after President Trump pulled out of the nuclear deal a couple years ago iran has continued to enrich uranium. It sounds like no one is having a lot of luck on this. Well, i would disagree with that slightly because iran have continued to have their Nuclear Weapons program but what trump has done i think is really significant in the middle east. For a couple of reasons. One, by having the fracking industry in the u. S. That means were no longer dependent upon middle east oil. Were independent of it. By crafting an agreement, the Abraham Accords between israel and the sunni arabs, not iran but other arab countries in the region. Thats the foundation for peace. Third by isolating iran i think thats the right place to have iran. Isolated and weakened. Gillian k. T. We have to leave it there. Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate it as always.

Over at the New York Times a story suggesting it supports Irans Nuclear development that led to a lawyer saying the New York Times is the paper of record for the iranian regime. Lets bring in guy benson host of the guy benson show. What made people mad is that the New York Times came out and said the Iranian Nuclear program is mostly for peaceful purposes intimating that. Tom cotton said the following. What was once the selfstyled newspaper of record is now just a wellfunded left wing blog hostile to america and israel and always ready to propaganda for their enemies. Tom cottons quote is particularly appropriate given the whole thing we remember over an oped he wrote that led to anger and recriminations in the newsroom and people being demoted and losing their position because he stated a view that a lot of people in the newsroom didnt agree with. Now you have this recitation of a bogus iranian talking point that they deny their Nuclear Program is for anything other than peaceful purposes. No one actually believes that. No one serious at least. When you have the news media in this country Fact CheckingPresident Trump within an inch of his life on everything. Okay, fine.

To go out of your way in that headline or tweet from the New York Times perspective to repeat and regurgitate just nonsense from tehran, from this hostile antiamerican genocidal pro terrorism regime is understandable why some people would do more than raise an eyebrow. I saw one twitter account said did the ayatollah as write this tweet . You chuckle but its ugly. Stephen miller wrote this in his response to the Washington Post and the thanksgiving. Really leaning into the enemy of the people label. It is not even noon. Pace yourselves. 30 seconds left for you. A lot of it was reaction in the foreign press. If you want to find a very, very Left Wing Group of people even more so than american journalists, turn to the foreign press. Based on the headline i wonder if the dread and disbelief being felt around the world by americans celebrating thanksgiving, does it also apply to dread and disbelief over them receiving, god willing, the vaccines that were developed in this country using our technology, our money, operation warp speed . Or will they gladly take our technology to heal their countries while wagging their fingers at us because of holiday traditions here . I suspect we know the answer. Trace good to see you. Thank you.

Gillian the Supreme Court now is just wrapping up a hearing on whether President Trump can exclude people who are living in the United States illegally from the forthcoming census count. David spunt live from the Justice Department with the latest on this hearing. Hi, david. Hi, gillian. This case is significant because its the first time a case of this magnitude has come to the Supreme Court when talking about a president excluding Illegal Immigrants from the u. S. Census. Now, it does a few things. By doing so it gives a better picture of the amount of legal citizens living in the United States but the concern from many groups it would significantly reduce the funding allocation for Congressional District less money from the federal government. Gillian, texas, california and new jersey could lose congressional seats if Illegal Immigrants are not counted. President trumps team argue that he is the president.

Is he supposed to receive the final census numbers by decembee white house will submit those numbers to congress and the state legislatures and the financial apportionment phase begins.
