Of americans prepare to defy the centers for Disease Control and prevention recommendation that they stay at home for the thanksgiving holiday and limit their gatherings to people in their household. States continue to consider new regulations but families from across the country are pushing back. Tonight even one big city mayor is tweeting a warning about any thanksgiving travel in his city. Senior correspondent laura ingle starts us off tonight from melbourne new york. Good evening, laura. Good evening, bret. And while the cdc is Standing Firm on its recommendations for traveling this week, there is word tonight the Public Health officials with the cdc are said to be considering when to shorten the quarantine period but they tell fox news tonight they cant announce any of those changes as of yet. Clearly right now you can see the surge that we are seeing in new cases unfortunately and hospitalizations and deaths. The numbers of people dying each day in the u. S. And around the world rises once again. Concern from Health Care Officials and frontline workers grow. I dont understand it. I cant grasp around it for whats all the horrors that im seeing and why people cant believe this is real. According to data released this week by Johns Hopkins university, the United States has the highest case tally in the world at 12. 4 million in the highest death toll at nearly 260,000. Averaging over 170,000 new cases a day. Help though is on the way. If all goes well we could be disturbing the vaccine soon after december 10th. Today department of defense officials gave an update on how they will get the vaccinations to hospitals and Frontline Health care workers within 24 hours of fda authorization. To, a plan they hope will be instrumented to implement it as soon as the vaccine is ready. Because theyve been running not only tabletop exercises but actually field exercises for the shipment of procedures. Business owners in Los Angeles County where all Outdoor Dining will be banned for three weeks starting tomorrow are bracing for financial impacts after the California Restaurant Association lost a court battle today to bar the shutdown. So its just been devastating. Now that we are going to close the outside, we are going to tell 11 of our employees go home and how are they going to pay their bills . And if you have plans to hit the bars of pennsylvania the night before things given, think again. There is now in order by the states governor. At last call for alcohol at all restaurants and bars at 5 00 p. M. Tomorrow to cut down on a lack of social distancing. The director of the cdc says he hopes people will hold tight and remain vigilant. You dont want to be the last group to end up getting covid because the vaccine is going to begin to be rolled out probably by the end of the second week of december. And here in new york, Governor Andrew Cuomo abruptly canceled his plans for thanksgiving after he revealed he would be spending it with his 89yearold mother and two adult daughters. He got a lot of flak. He has since said hes going to be working on thanksgiving and this just in, the mayor of los angeles has just tweeted that officials there are asking everyone to cancel nonessential travel adding if you must travel, travel legs arriving at lax will have to fill out a quarantine questionnaire and then they will have to possibly quarantine for about 14 days. Some big changes in los angeles starting tomorrow, bret. Bret thats quite something. It laura, thank you. As we mentioned, the dow hit an alltime high today searching for hundred 55 points to eclipse and finish above the 30,000 mark for the first time ever. The s p 500 gained 58 for a new record close they are as well. The nasdaq jumped 156 to its secondhighest close in history. Pennsylvania and nevada have joined a list of states officially certifying their Election Results today. Also tonight we are learning more about the president s decision to allow the transition to begin. With President Trump formally granting approval for joe biden to receive the classified president ial daily briefing. This on a day President Trump made two short appearances, a pardon and an announcement about the stock market jump. Kristin fisher reports tonight live from the north one of the white house. Good evening, kristin. Good evening, bret. Yeah, the first appearance from President Trump was this morning in the Briefing Room and then we saw him again this afternoon for the annual turkey pardon and the rose garden. Trump walked into the Briefing Room with little notice. I just want to congratulate of her body. The stock market, dow doans industrial average just hit 30,000, which is the highest in history. And he walked out just one minute and three seconds later. His shortest briefing ever. The president took credit for the soaring stock market and the encouraging news about coronavirus vaccines. Nothing like that has ever happened medically and i think people are acknowledging that and its having a big effect. But he took zero questions from reporters and not once did he mention the outcome of the election. He inched closer to a knowledge and joe biden is the president elect with a tweet last night telling the head of the gsa we need to be responsible for signing off on the transition process to do what needs to be done with regard to initial protocols adding that hes told his team to do the same. The president later said he will never concede, but multiple staffers within tt wing took that initial tweet as an acknowledgment of sorts that their time in a Trump Administration is winding down. White house chief of staff mark meadows is one of the people encouraging the president to allow the transition to begin. Those efforts began in earnest on saturday after the trump campaigns lawsuit in pennsylvania was tossed out. And culminated with michigan certification on monday. Since then, to more contested states have also certified the results of the election for joe biden. Nevada and pennsylvania. Governor tom wolf thanked election officials, who he says administered a fair and free election during an incredibly challenging time in our commonwealth and countrys history. That is a lucky bird. The president again steered clear of questions during the annual turkey pardon and the rose garden. Korn and cobb. But he did take time to thank those on the front lines of the pandemic and in the fighting to keep america safe. To keep america great, and as i say, America First. Shouldnt go away from that. America first. And in another sign that the transition is moving forward, this afternoon the white house gave the green light for president elect joe biden to begin receiving the president ial daily brief, or the pdb. That is a classified intelligence briefing that the president receives each morning. Right. Spoon Kristin Fisher live on the north lawn. Kristin, thanks. Its going so the wall street numbers tonight, big numbers. Connell mcshane from Fox Business Network joins us from new york. Good evening. Good evening, bret. It has been quite a run for the Dow Jones Industrial average. Optimism about three potential around on my coronavirus helping to drive the average. On january 15th the dow closed above 29,000 for the first time. It then flirted with 30,000 the next month but with the nation being hammered by the coronavirus in march, it fell and it fell below 19,000. Since then, low interest rates, its been a long climb back. And the positive vaccine news from pfizer, modernity, and astrazeneca has helped with this most recent stage of the rally coming after the president ial election earlier this month and then when word leaked yesterday that former fed chaired danielle and would be president elect joe biden spec is the treasury secretary, more buying. And then when the Trump Administration didnt clear the way for abiding transition to begin last night, some investors saw that today is more uncertainty being removed. The market climbed even higher. Todays rally was broadbased when you look at it. Oil stocks like exxon and chevron helped lead the way on signs of a better economic time coming ahead of us. Shares of the electronic vehicle maker tesla have continued whats been an incredible run for the stock helping the founder elon musk past bill gates, becoming a paper the second richest human being on planet earth behind jeff bezos of amazon. There certainly are questions about whether this market rally can continue. Some stay say stocks are getting ahead of themselves, others the todays reported drop in Consumer Confidence as a sign of trouble on the horizon but for now its a focus on the positive. We have the dow closing up of 30,000 for the first time ever. Bret. Bret good stuff. Connell, thank you. We are getting our first look tonight at some of the Just Announced prospective numbers of the incoming Biden Administration. And talk of the Rapid Retreat from policies of the current of administration is already beginning. Correspondent peter doocy reports tonight from wilmington, delaware. President elect joe bidens Foreign Policy plan . Send experienced Civil Servants out to patch things up with other countries. America is back, ready to lead the world, not retreat from it. No America First, which has been President Trumps Foreign Policy is no problem for the nominee to be secretary of state, tony blinken. We need to be working with other countries, we need their cooperation. Especially addressing Climate Change. To end this crisis, the whole world must come together. He will be the face of the Biden Administrations 2 trillion climate plan. There will be a principal on the National Security council who can make sure Climate Change is on the agenda in the situation room. Another seat in the situation room goes to National Security visor jake sullivan. He helped lead the early negotiations that led to the iran nuclear deal. National security will be reimagined by order of the president elect and will now cover terror threats, plus. The pandemic, the economic crisis, the climate crisis. Technological disruption. Threats to democracy. Racial injustice and inequality. The nominee to run the hs, alejandra my office, is being asked to do things different whales also buried its a job that plays a Critical Role in fixing the broken immigration system. Biden is also working with trump in picking insiders, not outsiders, for jobs. Like avril haines, nominated as director of national intelligence. I didnt pick a politician or political figure. I picked a professional. America has long been a melting pot and now in the world stage, the nominee for you and investor Linda Thomasgreenfield will make sure theres also a pot of gumbo. In my 35 years across four continents, i put a cajun spin on it. I called that gumbo diplomacy. Wherever i was posted around the world, i would invite people of different backgrounds and beliefs to help me make a roux and chop onions for the holy trinity and make homemade gumbo. Biden transition officials are telling us tonight they have spoken to counterparts in every federal agency on this, the first day they were allowed to. The president elect is saying staffers have spoken now to dr. Anthony fauci, but he hasnt had time to phone fauci and that he would sit down with President Trump if the president asked. Bret. Bret thanks, peter. Lets talk about the transition and Foreign Policy specifically. Secretary of state mike pompeo joins us again tonight. After secretary, thanks for coming back to special report. Great to be back with you, thank you. Bret youve just returned from a trip to many places overseas, but the thing that got the most attention was a meeting that was believed to have happened. Did is really Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu meet with the Saudi Crown Prince on your visit to the region . Bret, i had a meeting with the crown prince there, i had a meeting with the ground wrench in the emirates. I dont want to expand any further or not but importantly what i was continuing to work on is creating space for the American People, security for the American People in [indiscernible] in the middle east and what i took away from the gatherings, while there is more work to do, i think each of them has come to understand the work that weve done, the work that weve done to isolate the regime in the Islamic Republic of iran has been good for their people, been good for the middle east. I know its been good for the security people right here at home. Bret the report, mr. Secretary, was that the Prime MinisterBibi Netanyahu and the head of masada through o saudi arabia to meet with the crown prince, so did that happen or not . Look, ive seen the reporting period i was with each of us. I was with the head of masada in jerusalem as well. We have productive discussions. I will leave it to them to discuss the meetings they may have had or may not have had. Bret do you expect more normalization announcements from other countries like saudi arabia with israel before the end of the president s term . I do. I expect more normalization. Whether they will come in the next 30 days or 60 days or six months is difficult to know, but the direction of travels are very clear. The rationale for that has a little bit to do with american policy. We got it right. We took away the excuse of the conflict between israel and the palestinians. We took away the excuse that the United States was going to appease iran and so we took that but sovereign to shipments by those leaders. Most countries are more safe, more secure and they will be more prosperous. The businessman in israel, i saw israeli businessmen in the emirates. Good things are happening. Those two countries are coming closer and closer together. Everyone will see the benefits for their own people so i am highly confident that many, many more nations will ultimately do tchoose to do the right things n the homeland of the jewish people. Bret when you speak about iran, youve talked about the maximum Pressure Campaign and how it has been effective in your words. What do you say to the critics who say that iran is closer to a Nuclear Weapon now as you get ready for this transition with another team that may look at the situation completely different than you . Well, they are just wrong factually about that. First, i came into an administration, as did President Trump, where we were funneling tens of billions of dollars into that country, creating wealth and prosperity that the real tools of creating a Nuclear Weapon, capacity, smart people, money. Those of the things that help you build out a Nuclear Weapons program. The previsit administration had told them to give them a lot of that, money. We have chosen to deny them. Of tens and tens of billions of dollars in wealth has been denied them as a result of the isolation which we have created. Weve saved lots of lives, lots of american lives. We have fewer soldiers in the middle east today because of the actions weve taken and im confident thats the right policy. Appeasing terrorists, appeasing those who have hegemonic desires, appeasing those who are underwriting militias all throughout the region cannot possibly be the right course of action. It will put them on the pathway to a Nuclear Weapon and we should never give iran that chance. Bret have you spoken to tony blinken since joe biden has said that he wants him to be his secretary of state . I have not. Today we begin the process to see what gsas decision was and we will do everything thats required by law. We will make this work. Bret i want you to listen to the person that the president elect joe biden has selected to be the new u. S. Ambassador to the united nations. Obviously nominated to that. Speaking about Foreign Policy and multilateralism. Take a listen. And on this day im thinking about American People. My fellow career diplomats and Public Servants around the world. I want to say to you, america is back. Multilateralism is back. Diplomacy is back. Bret Linda Thomasgreenfield, the nominee to be the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. , your response to that statement . Where to begin, bret. I remember what the previous at administration did. They described leadership as leading from behind. President trump never did that. We built out real coalitions. A coalition that crossed the caliphate in syria, a coalition thats pushed back against the chinese commonest party. A coalition that refused to appease iran. The list of work that weve done is great. What wife said all along and this is where i think i take i take a different path. I couldnt tell exactly from her statement but multilateralism for the sake of hanging out with their buddies at a Cool Cocktail Party . Thats not in the best interest of the United States of america. We work with nations when we have common interest and we develop coalitions that actually deliver real results and reflect the reality on the ground. That wasnt what was happening when we came in here to the state department and we built that and normas team, so im proud the work of the state apartment has done. We are going to continue to do that. Its our response to billy so long as we have these offices, its our duty to continue to deliver an American Security and weve done it well and we will continue to do so. Bret the defense secretary worked alongside wrote an opinion editorial or in part wrote it. Former secretary james mattis. Saying this. In practice, America First has meant america alone. That has damaged the countrys ability to address problems before they reach u. S. Territory and has thus compounded the danger emergent threats pose. Thats jim mattis. Your thoughts . I have a lot of respect for jim, but hes just dead wrong on that. America first has been at its heart a recognition that when america is secure at home, what america does good things for her own economy, for our own prosperity, that america will be a force for good all around the region and that indeed we can deliver security, increased security run the world one america is not secure. I take great umbrage at the fact that its been america alone. I would tell you are japanese colleagues, our software collects, india collects, Australian College that the pivot to asia was a joke but that the United States under President Trump actually delivered real benefits to them and whether it was the work that weve done to build out an enormous coalition to go after the socialist maduro, to go after the cubans, these are real coalitions, real things it wasnt america alone. It was us doing it with our friends and allies based on shared interests and a reality that recognized central facts about what is and not pretending that things are we would like them to be. Bret whats your greatest concern with what the next administration could do when it comes to Foreign Policy . You know, bret, i dont want to speculate. I know some of these folks, they took a very different view, they lived in a bit of a fantasy world. They lead from behind, they appeased. I hope they will choose a different course. Here we are in 2020. Its different than 2015. I hope theyll see the things that we have done and how this has delivered Greater Peace in the middle east. How its reduced risk from north korea, where we took down what was a very tense situation when we came into office. Whether its the central recognition of the chinese commonest party as a true threat to jobs all across america, if theyll keep those things centerpoint and center mass, i think americas trajectory will be one that is safer and more prosperous and more secure, the freedoms that we have secured for the American People in these four years are something i hope will continue. Bret mr. Secretary, we appreciate your time. Theres a lot of people with questions when it comes to Foreign Policy when youre the guy who has the answers. Thanks for your time. Thank you very much, have a happy things given, bret. Bret you too. Theres a second part to this interview with secretary of state pompeo. We will air at thanksgiving night.

Bret Purdue Pharma is pleading guilty to three criminal charges formally admitting its role in an Opioid Epidemic that has contributed to hundreds of thousands of deaths over the past two decades. The maker of oxycontin admits impeding the u. S. Drug enforcement administrations efforts to combat the addiction crisis. They have also agreed to a settlement with more than 8 billion in penalties and forfeitures, but its actual direct payment to the federal government is 225 million. The Biden Administration is going to look very familiar to connoisseurs of various cable news stations. A Fox News Media analyst and host of Fox News Media buzz howard kurtz has that story tonight. Im pleased to announced nominations to the staff. Is joe biden starts to staff as a administration the revolving door between media and politics is spinning once again as a cnn Global Affairs analyst emma tony blinken, who had been deputy secretary of state under president obama often chastise obama successor. President trump is abdicated that was once ability. Is put us in full retreat from our allies and partners. And today biden formally announced him as his pick for secretary of state. Thank you. John saki, who was Obamas State Department spokeswoman has also left for the transition. Msnbc analyst rick stengel, former Time Magazine editor is on his second go around having jumped from Obamas State Department to fear strong critic. He is the epicenter of disinformation around the world. And now he has joined the biden transition team. Mcquade, a u. S. Attorney in the obama years has also left msnbc for the biden transition. Sometimes the connections are less visible as with jon meacham, the former newsweek editor and president ial biographer was at msnbc contribute or who praised bidens victory speech. This is a moment where the life of the nation is intersecting in a fascinating way with the personal life not only of president elect biden, but also the Vice President elect. But the networks dropped in from the payroll after the New York Times revealed he had privately helped biden with that and other speeches. At least two dozen journalists joined the obama Team Including times jay carney and abcs linda douglas. That Musical Chairs tradition is widely viewed as routine, but fox news drew criticism for those who moved between the network on the Trump Administration, including john bolton, heather nauert, bill shine and Sarah Huckabee sanders. Larry kudlow also joins the president from cnbc. When political players turn into pundits, they can bring an insiders, but more of them seem to move between the media, where they can resemble a government in exile and democratic administrations such as the one now taking shape. Bret. Bret how we, thanks. Up next, government pleas for you and your neighbors to stay home this thanksgiving are not stopping. Which numbers of people from traveling all across the country, we will go live to one of the busiest airports. I need this. I need this. And my family and friends need this too.

Com bret as we told with the top of the program, millions of americans are ignoring the governments please to skip holiday travels this week because of the coronavirus. That means airports are busier than they have been since the start of the pandemic. Correspondent Casey Stegall takes a look tonight from Dallasfort Worth International Airport in texas. On the eve of whats considered to be the busiest travel day of the year, Infectious Disease experts are concerned about the number of americans who are still moving forward with their Holiday Plans and ignoring publichealth guidance. Please make no mistake that people will die because of thanksgiving gatherings. The cdc advised people not only to cancel their travel plans, but also avoid gathering with people outside their own households to decrease the risk for exposure. Yet aaa says some 2. 4 Million People still plan to fly. We are heading home for thanksgiving, we are going to go hang out with her family. Its going to be really fun. Im not letting this hamper my lifestyle and life. A family and friends are really important to me at this time of the year. Almost 95 of all holiday travelers are expected to drive to their destinations with aaa projecting nearly 48 Million People hitting the road. Overall, travel numbers are anticipated to be down about 10 compared to last thanksgiving, millions of other americans are heeding the warnings and staying put. Its just not worth the risk right now with the amount of people that have it across the country at this moment. We miss not being able to see the grandchildren. All of them together. Doctors insist if more people followed the guidelines, it will pay off in the long run. I know that this is a lot to ask, but a virtual safe thanksgiving will potentially prevent an icu christmas. And live here at dfw International Airport tonight, the nations fourth busiest when it comes to overall passenger traffic, officials are predicting that the thanksgiving volume will be down about 35 here than it was in 2019. Bret. Bret casey, thank you. Bret into tonights focus on faith, the pushback from organized religion against coronavirus restrictions. Many worshipers of different denominations are coming together to try to fight the government in court. Religion correspondent lauren green shows us tonight. On monday, two california churches sought an emergency injunction with the u. S. Supreme court to halt the states threat of criminal penalties. No one should have criminal threats up to a year in prison hanging over their head simply for attending a place of worsh worship. California has some of the strictest policies rove leveled against churches and gatherings imposed to combat the spread of the coronavirus. The churchs claim that governor Gavin Newsoms executive order, which threatens jail time and a thousand dollar a day fine, violates the constitutions freedom of religion. You need to look at those liberties and determine how you can best protect the people, but the balance doesnt tip to protect these people and throwing up the constitution. That is the sign of tyranny. California is 1 of 25 states where houses of worship have taken legal actions over restrictions on gatherings. Lawyers collectively say its a sign that americas bedrock principle of religious freedom is being severely tested by the pandemic. The bishop of the Catholic Diocese of brooklyn which also filed a case with the Supreme Court against Governor Andrew Cuomo says politicians must reclassify faith as fundamental. You have to recognize religion i think as is central to society just as the food stores are. They take care of the body, we take care of the soul. But some religious groups have hurt their cause at this video obtained by the New York Post shows in brooklyn, hundreds packed a synagogue to celebrate his citic wedding, dancing and singing and no masks. There was a very conscious effort to conceal what was going on, and thats what makes it even more unacceptable. The cases may go to the full court leaving justices to decide if the benefits of protections against the pandemic outweigh the cost of possibly weakening the constitution. Bret. Bret lauren, thank you. Up next, the simmering conflict in georgia between the president s supporters and the senators trying to keep their jobs. We will bring you there. First, heres what some of our fox affiliates around the country are covering to make. Q13 in seattle as the Seattle City Council votes to cut the Police Budget there by 18 . Many activists had wanted a 50 decrease. Several Council Members had agreed to that, then reneged on that promise. And this is a live look at Salt Lake City from fox 13, our affiliate there. One of the big stories there tonight, the discovery of a mysterious monolith in southeastern utah. Its drawing comparisons to the structures in the movie 2001 a space odyssey. It was found by a state wildlife employees counting sheep from a helicopter. Thats tonights live look outside the beltway, an interesting one from special report. We will be right back. Since pioneering the suv in 1935, the chevy suburban has carried many things. Nothing more important than family. Introducing the most versatile and advanced chevy suburban and tahoe ever. Bret investigators believe california may have paid nearly a billion dollars in fraudulent pandemicrelated unemployment came to inmates and cyber criminals using their stolen information. Death row inmates Scott Petersons name was one of more than 35,000 inmate names used to file for unappointed benefits. Investigators say more than 20,000 of those bogus claims were paid. The two senators from georgia trying to hang onto their seats and preserve the g. O. P. s majority in the Senate Chamber are in a tough spot tonight. They are getting hammered from some in their own party over President Trump a selection challenge. Correspondent Jonathan Serrie reports tonight from atlanta. On a bus tour across georgia with iowas senator joni ernst, david perdue makes the case for a republican firewall against the radical left, but he and fellow georgia senator Kelly Loeffler face discontent within their own party from Trump Supporters who believed the president s still unproven allegations of widespread voter fraud. What you doing to help donald trump in this . I will be glad to help you with that. Ill tell you that in a second. We called for the resignation of our secretary of state is what we did. We are calling for lawsuits. But some of the president s supporters want georgias Republican Leaders to do more to challenge the results. As georgia today begins a statewide machine recount at the request of the trump campaign, Democratic Senate candidates Raphael Warnock and jon ossoff are criticizing g. O. P. Leaders for pandering to conspiracy theories about the election. Im not sure about the impact on turnout, but the disruption of an orderly transfer of power to the new administration has already done damage to the response to this pandemic and the response to the economic crisis. Stacey abrams and other influential georgia democrats are tweeting links to the states official absentee ballot request form. Elections Officials Say more than 760,000 georgians have already requested absentee ballots. Its more than three times the number requested during the 2018 election. Bret. Bret Jonathan Serrie in atlanta. Jonathan, thanks. Up next, the panel and President Trump transition decision in the new members of the Biden Administration or prospective one. Next. Already working out, my ability to get president ial daily briefs, we are already working out meeting with the covid team in the white house and how to not only distribute, but get from a vaccine being distributed to a person being able to get vaccinated, so i think we are going to not be so far behind the curve as we thought we might be in the past. And as a lot of immediate discussion and i must say. The outreach has been sincere. Its not been begrudging so far. Bret joe biden earlier tonight on nbc talking about the transition and what is happening right now. The dow is liking whats happening right now. The markets closing above 30,000 for the first time ever. There you take a look at the year to date, starting or above 29,000 january 15th and then closing again after that tip for the coronavirus. Success on the vaccine front, a lot of positive news on therapeutics, vaccines, how the justices working on a base of the biden folks will tell you its about the transition moving forward. Thats bring in our panel. Bill bennett, former education secretary, host of the bill bennett show podcast. Susan page, Washington Bureau chief at usa today and Washington Post columnist marc thiessen. Marc, what about where we are now as we are still singing these legal challenges by the president although they seem to be diminishing at least now in a number of these states as they officially certify, but the positive news on the vaccine front is palpable. The positive news on the vaccine front is palpable and the positive news that the trump biden transition is finally getting underway and by the way, getting underway faster than the clinton and bush transition did. We are ahead of schedule, so all of these people setting their hair on fire that the transition wasnt happening, its happening at a good pace. The problem is that the president is focused on the wrong thing right now. His chances of overturning the last election are next to zero. Its not zero itself. So he has a path to a second term, but its in 2024. And the path to a second term goes through georgia and winning the Georgia Senate race and right now its not just the opportunity, the fact that he spending his time and energy on these legal challenges that have no chance of succeeding, but there are its because its also the fact that hes the Trump Supporters are not are not are not energized behind his candidates. You just showed a clip of Trump Supporters yelling at him saying what you doing to help trump . This whole legal thing is creating a distraction its going to depress republik an end turnout and it could cost republicans control of the senate and that would be an absolute disaster. Bret so speaking of that, bill, sidney powell, who we thought was part of the trump legal team, is not, doing her own filings, but one of them is going to be a filing in georgia. She just talked to lou dobbs about that earlier tonight. Take a listen. I think no later than tomorrow. Its just going to be its a massive document and its going to have a lot of the defendants are going to be folks in georgia who are responsible for supposedly making sure the elections in georgia are done properly and there are just countless incidents of voter fraud and Election Fraud writ large in georgia. Bret now, we have not seen this filing, we have not seen all the affidavits supposedly going to be filed in georgia tomorrow. The problem, bill, as mark mentions, is that does that create a wrench in the system ahead of the january 5th runoff trying to hold control of the u. S. Senate . Well, we will see. I understand marcs point about the importance of georgia and not getting in the way of the georgia election. Not going to win my georgia the huge support of huge Trump Supporters. And so this has to be done carefully. Look, i dont want to be a dead end are here, one of those japanese soldiers in the cave, but i think this election was stolen. I will not keep saying it but i will keep believing it. And it has to do a lot with these absentee ballots. This too many statistical improbabilities, too many anomalies, too many bellwether states that predict and didnt predict here. But the issue is very similar in georgia. You heard earlier in your report, you announced that the fact that theres going to be so many mailin ballots in georgia. I hope republicans who maybe didnt get on this for the general will get on this in georgia. Else we may face the same problems. But otherwise, you know, the president will cooperate with this transition. But we have to get on this thing and fix it, because there was something that went wrong. By the way, if im a dead end are, half the country believes that this election was illegitimate. About 75 of republicans and about 1020 of democrats. There is something wrong here, still is. Bret bill, but i guess push back to that is why arent any of these legal cases getting through . Why isnt there one judge someplace that says i see what you mean, lets turn over this election, lets change the tens of thousands of voters in this state. Why hasnt one judge done that yet . Right, no judge has done it yet and a judge has to do it yet. Thats for sure. A judge has to do it. I dont know about i dont know about sidney powell. I know lynwood in georgia is a formidable guy, very smart guy, very successful guy, represent a kid from covington catholic. We shall see. Look, we shall see soon. Theres no reason for us to close this thing off immediately and again okay. I will leave it there. Bret agreed and the legal challenges are going to continue and we will follow each one. Susan, meantime, the biden transition is moving a pace, the National Security team kind of outlined today thoughts on the choices so far, coming really from career, for the most part, career folks minus john kerry, who obviously has a political past .
