he will reverse his position yet again to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word. the white house says they re not backing down even though manchin definitively said no on this, had they say they re still going to try to press him to change his mind. todd: to that end, you re going to hear a lot of lines of attack like joe manchin is beholden to special interests. since when are your and my future kids and grandkids special interests. my kid doesn t have a lobbying group. this is for the future of americans so we re not saddled with debt long into the future. you re going to hear this line of attack, oh, he had an obligation to the country. no, he has an obligation to the people of west virginia. he represents the people of west virginia, 75% of the people of west virginia vote conservative or feel a conservative leaning, he did what those people wanted which is his job as a senator for that state. carley: for the past few months for joe manchin and kyrsten sinema have bee
well, first of all, the kid is amazing, his kid is kind of carrying him. carley: his son it good? amazing. his son is adorable too. i love that he s good at golf. i guess no surprise. the time is now 10 minutes after the hour. as we mentioned a minute ago, the biden administration s top scientists are playing damage control as covid cases spike, just before christmas. so should we expect more lockdowns and mandates in biden s covid address tomorrow? we re talking to dr. marc siegel about that coming up next. todd: kurt the cyber guy, joe concha, rachel campos duffy all live over the next hour of fox & friends first. lean on me
a newly surfaced october 2020 e-mail from collins to dr. anthony fauci on the great bearing ton declaration, a at statement rejecting lockdowns and in favor of the herd immunity strategy. it reads this proposal from three fringe epidemiologists who met with the secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention. there needs to be a quick and devastating published takedown of this prem sis. when collins was asked about the e-mail he refused to apologize. carley: brooke, thank you. todd: fox & friends viewers giving back in a big, big way, donating $100,000 to navarro farm, a haven in frankfurt, illinois for kids with special needs. carley: rachel and her daughter learned about the important life skills kids learn at the farm and even joined their special christmas celebration. and rachel campos duffy joins us now. what an awesome farm. it was so incredible to see you
