steve: well, you know what? just like everybody else, it was a different kind of holiday. we were all together as a family but we were not in the same place. i made that bacon braided smoked turkey breast, which i showed you last week. that was so good. thousands of people made it yesterday as well because they sent us pictures from our cookbook. that's our family tableau from yesterday. up in the upper left hand corner me and cathy, my daughter and marshall. peter at his apartment. and sally and alli out in california. how about you, pete, what did you do? >> we had a pretty straight up traditional there. there is the fam right there. that's our toast during our -- why did the proclamation of george washington for the first. steve: he had hegseth academy? pete: also seconds as dining room. and then we had a turkey bowl. , you have to play football. that's jen right there. she is a good free safety and was little bitting off and we had a good thanksgiving. we feel blessed. how about you? emily: it was a great thanksgiving. first of all it's always an honor to be filling in for ainsley. lots of turkey, lots of football. except for pete on my end it was just nfl, as you know, i'm a good cheer leader and couch surfer. and then christmas decorations. and usually my rule is, you know, the day after thanksgiving is when i start. but this year i started earlier. it was so fun to enjoy it during that holiday. steve: when did you start? july? because noble had anything to do this summer. emily: if i'm being honest i started watching christmas movies in july. and then i started putting up decorations maybe over a week ago. steve: that's okay. pete: it's true. hallmark movies have within on our tv. steve: my home depot have had the trees up since before halloween. we are through thanksgiving. next step christmas. pete: we can all be out in the open, exactly. we are glad you are with us this friday we have news to get to. start with a big story. president trump offering his appreciation to our troops stationed overseas and annual thanksgiving salute to service members. the president took questions from reporters revealing when covid-19 vaccines will be delivered. lauren blanchard joins us live from washington with more. lauren, good morning. >> good morning, steve, emily, pete. just like every thanksgiving during his term president trump called our troops overseas to thank them for our service. then he turned to the election. he continued to allege it was rigged the legal team has not been successful so for a overturning. he says he would leave the white house if the electoral college votes next month for president-elect biden. >> if the electoral college votes for joe biden. >> certainly i will. and you know that but i think that there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20 of january. a lot of things. massive fraud has been found. it's going to be a very hard thing to concede. >> plus the president said a coronavirus vaccine will be delivered beginning next week and the week after to frontline workers and seniors. he also praised his administration for operation warp speed. >> don't let joe biden take credit for the vaccines. you know, joe biden failed with the swine flu. h1n1, totally failed with the swine flu. don't let him take credit for the vaccines. because the vaccines were me and i pushed people harder than they have ever been pushed before. >> president trump said he will be campaigning in georgia next weekend for the republican senate candidates. those race also decide who controls the senate. steve, emily, pete? steve: thank you. hey, lauren, did the president mean he would be in georgia next week our sounded almost like he was talking about this weekend. >> there was a little confusion with that he said on saturday we later got clarification from the white house he meant december 5th. so next weekend. they are still looking for a spot. steve: all right. very good. thank you, lauren. the president was talking about how they were looking for a location. maybe an airport or something like that down there in georgia to support kelly loeffler and david perdue. when he was talking about georgia. he was talking about the people of georgia were very disappointed they were robbed because obviously from his point of view joe biden narrowly won georgia. and he went on for a while and he talked about his legal challenges in georgia and elsewhere. and he, you know, he steadfast. he said and time and time again the discrepancies and the numbers don't add up and fraud. he continually repeated joe biden did not get 80 million votes. emily, he said it would be a very hard things if he had to concede but if the electoral college hands it to joe, he said he will leave the white house. but he said the electoral college would be making a mistake. emily: that's exactly right, steve. my two takeaways it's not over. he's not giving up and not giving. in and also that the next battle ground for him most visibly will be georgia. it's going to be interesting to see where exactly he targets. we know in north atlanta specifically where there are a ton of votes a hug discrepancy r votes of biden and ossoff. call out why so many people weren't comfortable voting for that democrat senator and push all the turnout to vote for the g.o.p. senator. pete: i wonder if this was conversation at thanksgiving dinner 80 million votes. how in the world did a guy who didn't campaign at all get 80 million votes? and you look at the legal challenges in georgia and continuing in pennsylvania where there is a legitimate constitutional challenge to the mail out ballot law there. it will test the constitutional muster of the pennsylvania constitution. as well as our own. and so the trump campaign continues to challenge these counts. you said it, steve, he's not going to concede even if the electoral college goes in the other direction. this is ongoing. steve: he said it would be a tough thing. he also blasted twitter because he said they are manipulating trending topics. they are biased against conservatives. which we have heard and he is demanding a repeal of section 230 which shields internet companies from the comments made by people who use their platforms. one of the comments that somebody made to mother jones the publication was from a defund the police advocate person by the name of angela richie. what she said essentially is they are not going away. pete: oh, good. steve: they are waiting to see what joe biden said. she said what we have heard so far from the democratic party is what they are not going to do. i don't expect they will be supportive from the main demand from the streets. it's going to be a fight. we're not going away. that's the important pair. the demand is to defund the police. it's going to get louder and louder. and i don't know that we even need to be the inside. they're going to hear it either way. emily? emily: that's exactly right. this really vocal minority will still get louder that perhaps shouting at the top of their lungs will make a difference interest but from what we are seen thus far. biden is certainly not capitulating to them on certain policy levels. we are going to see really how much ground that they have actually gotten now that his campaign something essentially over, if you can call it that but, to a degree, they have already won. look at seattle where i'm sitting right now where our police forces to the level of 1990 but the population is up 50%. so it's sort of unfortunate abyss mall ripple effect that we have seen that residence like me absolutely despise but in terms of where it going to get into the mainstream for that party that remains to be seen. pete: yeah. if you'll remember some democrats feel like maybe this isn't the best message. listen. >> this foolishness about you have got to be this progressive or that progressive, that phrase defund the police caused cost damion harrison seriously. >> . so woke people need to take a nap. so things we are hearing from the extreme elements of the democratic party. i don't think that was helpful. >> defund the police i don't know of any democrats in the closet who are for defunding the police. >> we lost members who shouldn't have lost. the number one concern and people that brought t number one concern and thing that brought to me that i barely won, was defunding the police. pete: this continues to be a horrible idea that we'll be stuck to the democrats. steve: it will be interesting to see how joe biden and his new administration does deal with it because, you know, the progressives are at this point disillusioned because they haven't seen any of their people put on his cabinet. and so what are they going to do going forward? stay tuned. meanwhile, yesterday, it was thanksgiving. as you know, that's why you have 75 pundz of leftover75 pounds on refrigerator. by. we'll be cooking it on easy bake oven on the set. first time ever had an oven on the set. pete: there it is. steve: joel, the stage manager called it, steve, glad to see you brought your easy bake oven. i'm going to make a turkey gulett put it in 45 minutes from right now. on thanksgiving the day all these leftovers came from. dan crenshaw of texas had a powerful message. just a message of the state of the nation on thanksgiving. it was super powerful. and it you did not see it on twitter as many did not, we thought we would play part of it. here he is? though it's the best time to be in alive pros supporter. too many are choosing to be bitter and resentful and angry that state of mind is a choice. you can choose to be grateful and optimistic or can you choose victimhood. thanksgiving is simply a reminder of that it's a snapshot of history where the first pill grimtion sought freedom to pursue happiness. we are willing to suffer and sacrifice to do it. we should ask ourselves have we been sacrificing anything close to the first pilgrims or america's founders anything close to the men that stormed the beaches of normandy? have you sacrificed as a gold star wife has sacrificed. perhaps on a day like today we might recall a sense of perspective. whatever hardships you might face. always remember this hard truth. someone else has suffered greater and dealt with it better from perspective comes gratitude. and from gratitude comes hope for a better future. steve: powerful words the last line. remember the hard truth. someone else has suffered greater and dealt with it better, emily. emily: amen. that was wonderful. all right. guys. time for head lines with carley shimkus. good morning, carley. carley: good morning. good to see you all. can i confirm that oven is bigner person than it looks on tv. i expect a little bit of that turkey gulet, too. steve: i don't know about all of us. the stage manager. emily: he can share my piece. >> the nypd is seeing uptick in coronavirus cases as the city deals with the second wave of the virus. the number of sick officers has tripled since last month. as of wednesday, 157 uniformed officers have been diagnosed with the disguise. the department is still nowhere neither peak of the pandemic near the spring when one fifth of the force was out sick. the mayor of las vegas slamming nevada's governor over the state's latest coronavirus order. governor sisolak ordered casinos, bars and restaurants to reduce capacity from 50% down to 25. mayor carolyn good win telling the las vegas journal review quote he has been a dictator with whom we have complied every step of the way. we have had no choice. alabama officials say more than 5,000 public school students have not shown up for in person or virtual classes. the state education superintendent admitting they don't know where the students are. saying some might have switched to private schools. state officials say the drop in enrollment could mean job losses for hundreds of teachers. well, to thanksgiving football. washington routing the cowboys in dallas. >> here is a play made by the defense for the touchdown. carley: washington sits a game ahead in the nfc east after 41-16 blow out win and deshaun watson hungry for turkey and touchdowns. 41 20eu 5. meanwhile ravens score quarterback lamar jackson has tested positive for covid-19. the reigning mvp is one of the multiple ravens cases that caused their thanksgiving ma'amup with the steelers to be moved to sunday. more football to come, guys. pete: absolutely. carley, thank you so much. steve: thank you. pete: still ahead, president trump and timothy cardinal dolan praise as supreme court decision to halt governor cuomo's decision to houses of worship. next guest calls it a religious victory. he's next ♪ speak life ♪ speak life ♪ speak life ♪ ♪ learning is hard work. hard work requires character. learning begins in faith. it must move upwards toward the highest thing, unseen at the beginning - god. and freedom is essential to learning. its principles must be studied and defended. learning, character, faith, and freedom: these are the inseparable purposes of hillsdale college. less oral steroids. taking my treatment at home. nucala is a once-monthly add-on injection for severe eosinophilic asthma. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur. get help right away for swelling of face, mouth, tongue, or trouble breathing. infections that can cause shingles have occurred. don't stop steroids unless told by your doctor. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. may cause headache, injection site reactions, back pain, and fatigue. ask your doctor about nucala at home. find your nunormal with nucala. inflammation in your eye might be to blame.ck, ask your doctor about nucala at home. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that?

that's a great line of work. despite. so headlines you see these days. i'm going to try to get into the academy with my son. right? tell us that. >> yeah it. kind of caught me off guard because i had been encouraging both of my sons to get into law enforcement. i didn't know that he was serious or ready to do it yet. and then when he told me that he had signed up. he had gotten the job and he was already enrolled to be in police academy. i didn't want him to jump ahead of me. so i immediately went up to the academy and i was practically begging them to get me in at that point it was actually too late. there wasn't enough time to get me. in i want to extend my thanks here on the air to mr. mcgregor because i think he just knew how special it would be if he could get us in. so he worked overtime to at that last minute to squeeze me in and, you know, every day he would say i don't think we're going to do it. i'm going to try but don't get your hopes up. one day he said winston, you are in. that's when i knew yeah, we would get to do this together. steve: that is awesome. christian, you are probably thinking man, i can't shake this guy, is he at home and now at the academy with me. i understand you guys carpooled together and things like that. but, at the same time, you are a driven young man and i understand you are very competitive with your father. >> yes, sir. >> tell me about that. >> we have a very competitive nature. our family likes to get into arguments and stuff. before it was nothing about law enforcement or anything. but we started as we would be on the way driving to class, we would be talking about some scenarios and kind of giving our take and i don't really like that. what do you think about this?

i did a walk around my neighborhood. it was cathy and i together alone the kids were all over the country. did you notice any big parties at anybody's house? i took a three mile walk, did i not see one big gathering. did i see some of my neighbors right across the way j.r. and laura. i think they might have had one extra car. i noticed the windows were open. i didn't see any big parties. i think people listen to the precautions. emily: right. i noticed when i was walking the dog at the lake, i noticed that someone had a big tent erected on their patio sort of like what you see outside at restaurants which i thought was interesting. other than that, other than my next door neighbor who had a ton of cars, i didn't see anything. but contrary to what, for example, governor kate brown wants people to do in oregon. i'm not calling the cops to nark on her and i only wished her a happy thanksgiving. pete: you would be a good neighbor. i have no doubt about that. steve: today is the day after thanksgiving and oftentimes during ordinary times at midnight the big dox stores would have those door buster specials where right at midnight go in and there would be a melee where people -- stuff like that. where people would run in for the flat screens. that kind of door busting not happening this year, according to grady trimble from our sister network fox business. is he live in chicago with the latest. but there are some doors open, there just aren't the grads busting them down. >> and they're opening a little later than normal, steve. good morning to you. it's a black friday unlike any other we have seen before. here at target they opened at 7:00 in the central time zone. and they are expected to have some good deals on kitchen appliances like the insta pot. bluetooth speakers and headlines and other product. don't expect lines because of door busters. instead lines because of capacity restrictions in stores. despite the coronavirus pandemic. the national retail federation says americans will spend more than they ever have before on sales this holiday season. $766 billion, that's what we're going to spend between now and christmas. that's an increase of about 5% compared to last year which also was a record. and that's driven largely because of your honor line sales. which are expected to grow as much as 33% rah cording to some projections. buy online and pick up in store also a popular option for those who do not want to go into retail locations. in terms the best items to buy. some of the stores like target and other retailers have been spreading out their sales over a longer period of time overs past several weeks. but if you waited until black friday and black friday weekend. you're going to find good deals. here is what is good to look for this weekend. appliances and televisions adobe says are the best things to buy today. computers, funeral temperature and toys will have the deepest discounts this weekend. for other products, if you can wait, you might find better deals in december. and then for even more products things like tools and home improvement product you are actually going to find the best deals after christmas, guys, if you can wait until then. steve: who can wait for toys after christmas. come on. what is that about, grady?

>> happy thanksgiving to you guys, too. look, it's interesting, isn't it? i think blm obviously thinks that it has a stake in this administration because probably the riots and the unrest that led in the run up to the election all on false premises people probably had something to do with the election results. so, now they feel they have a stake in it. and kind of outrageous. but that's way life is at the moment. and i think there probably would be a lot of l.a. residents, however, would ho would agree with them in this case. steve: so they don't want mr. garcetti to be in the biden administration because they refer to him as the country's worst mayor. at the same time, miranda you have political pressures from the far left saying looking at the appointments nominations so far. hey, where is our person? where is our bernie? where is our elizabeth? where is somebody way to the left? because we're the people who got joe biden elected. >> yes. and, look, we have always thought that if joe biden were elected president that he would be controlled by the left, by the far left. the progressives. and it's interesting that in his first interview that he gave a few days ago since the election he actually sort of dodged that question. and he said, look, i already have some very progressive people in my cabinet. and, you know, he would ask if he would introduce bernie sanders or aoc into the hot seats and he just said well, really no. looks like he is not going to do that. his first picks for his foreign policy and national security teams were very much sort of old tried and true obama era people. and, you know, around himself he just has all his allies. so, maybe the progressives are starting to smell a rat and think, hey, we didn't go to all this trouble to get you installed just to have you stiff us and put in your old moderates. so, there will be pressure on him and remember that there is always kamala harris there waiting in the background she certainly is the most progressive by voting record in the senate. she will be there ready to jump. in you remember, of course, that nancy pelosi pushed through that 25th amendment sort of legislation that she wanted to make it easier to replace the president who sort of mental faculties or maybe physical faculties are not working fully. so i would think that the progressives have got plenty of aces up their sleeve. emily: miranda divine, thank you for your insight as always. now for the headlines from carley. carley: four people shot and one man killed after multiple random shootings in nevada. police say the suspects were driving around shooting people were no apparent motive. hours later police arrested three people in arizona believed to be linked to the nevada shooting. all four victims are expected to survive. an overturned van skidding out of control barely misses a texas police officer. videos show sparks flying and the officer helped the car out with a flat tire. police rushed to the trapped van driver who they say fell asleep at the wheel after a long shift. now, this photo shows the damage to the police suv when the van first crashed. thankfully no injuries were report reported there jeopardy host alex trebek is still inspiring fans after his death. the beloved icon recorded a special message before he died it aired on thanksgiving. >> despite what the world is experiencing right now there are many reasons to be thankful. more and more people extending helpful hands to do a kindness to their neighbors and that's a good thing. keep the faith. we are going to get through all of this and we'll be a better society because of it. carley: wow. the show says trebek taped enough episodes to last until january 4th. he died earlier this month after a battle with pancreatic cancer. he was 80 years old. south dakota governor kristi noem is going to be a grandmother. the republican posted this picture of her daughter cassidy and son-in-law kyle holding ultra sound pictures. nome says she and her husband are thrilled. this will be nome's first grand child. the baby is due in july. the youngest looking grandmother of all time. i want her genes. emily: can you believe that?

friday a perfect gift for the holidays. pete: don't miss you. you promised will and i that we mentioned your pie was the greatest on earth you would provide a bottle of bourbon which you delivered on. i mentioned it three times on the show and you didn't say -- you said bottles of bourbon you didn't say airplane size. steve: i gave you three bottles of bourbon one delicious bottle of bullet and a couple of. pete: you have a man of your words. emily: you have to specify the contract terms guys. take it from an attorney. steve: thank you, emily. i don't know if you can zoom the camera out a little bit. since did you mention the cookbook, so many people yesterday made our turkey and so many people today, today may be black friday but is also the biggest leftovers day of the year. in the holiday section. holiday chapter of our cookbook, we make something called the leftover turkey thanksgiving gelet. it's essentially a pie crust you take and then you put all of the leftovers on there i put a layer of turkey, and then mashed potatoes, pete was over here looking at it. and then i put stuffing, i put some cran berries on there and then i put on, of course, have you got to put on a lot of gravy like that. i have got some jams on there. so so now what i'm going to do is this takes 45 minutes to cook. and you know, we have been doing this show for over 20 years. we have her had an oven in the studio. so i'm going to come on over here. pete: i'm going to be your vanna white. steve: thank you very much. by the way thank you to pete for bringing his easy bake oven today. pete: you are welcome, steve. steve: it's delightful. i make it on as you can see some parchment paper so it's easier to put in the oven like that. right in all right. and then what you do is you bake it at 400 for 45 minutes. which is perfect. at 7:50 eastern time what we're going to do is actually going to take it out and i'm going to cut it up and i'm going to give pete a piece and then i'ming will going slide it over so i'm not anywhere near him. pete: we're going to have breakfast with friends. steve: we are indeed. too bad griff jenkins is not here in the studio because griff in less than an hour you could have a big piece of leftover turkey gulet. griff: i'm disappointed i i'm not going to have that. good morning to you. how are you doing? hope your thanksgiving was great. the president at the white house spent yesterday afternoon doing something he has done many times that is to call our troops overseas. he thanked them for their service. he called them heroes. and he did something he hasn't done since november 3rd election which was taking questions from reporters. maintaining that the election was rigged and that his legal team's fight is far from over. he confirmed that he would leave the white house if the electoral college votes next month for president-elect biden. watch. >> if the electoral college votes for joe biden rttle will you concede. >> certainly i will. under a know that i think there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of january a lot of things. massive fraud has been found. it's going to be a very hard thing to concede. griff: meanwhile the president wants legal battle in pennsylvania. a poll watcher and u.s. navy veteran from delaware county p.a. gregory gave testimony at a hearing wednesday in gettysburg that he witnessed irregularities and fraud firsthand. >> 478 usb cards are missing. and they are nowhere to be found. those cards, i demanded that the -- they didn't update the vote live time. they only updated it about once every two or three hours. i demanded that they update the vote so i could see what the -- what the result was. and it was 50,000 votes. griff: unclear exactly what or if the trump team will file next in regards to these allegations. but in the case challenging the state's certification of the results, a hearing is expected today. now that centers around a state lawmaker's claim that the voting process change is unconstitutional. we will see where that goes. the governor of pennsylvania tom wolf is now asking the supreme court of pennsylvania to step in. so, one thing for sure this fight is not over yet. the president digging in his heels. we will see what next week brings. steve, pete, emily? emily: thank you so much, griff. that's exactly right. that's my take away from his comments last night. he's not going anywhere. he is not giving. in also that the next battle ground will certainly be georgia. we know in a lawsuit filed in the 100 pages of it. we see that the mainstream media sort of attacking typos and a lot of ancillary issues. it will be interesting to sees a the merits play out in court what exactly happens on that final scale. pete? pete: you are right, emily. he feels the same way his supporters do that the election did not feel above board. and when you have that many mail out mail-in ballots and that few safeguards especially in key states it raises a lot of questions and i think these challenges are indispensable to ensuring that going forward our elections are actually fair honest and legal. and these challenges will continue. and the president clearly showcasing, steve, that he is committed to making sure every legal vote counts and that, listener, if it comes out that it is certified, that is what it is. ultimately the fight is worth worth it. steve: that's right. so the president was asked after he did that teleconference with military leaders around the world about the georgia race. and then he was talking about how, you know, the people down in georgia probably feel like they have been ripped off. what he was alluding to was the fact that joe biden beat him narrowly in the state of georgia. and he was talking about the race was stolen from him and he was talking about the discrepancies. and something that he talked about a number of times was the fact that how did joe biden wind up with 80 million votes? he outperformed hillary clinton when she ran in 2016. he out performed barack obama when he was running for re-election. how did he do it? pete: campaigning. steve: that's what the president was wondering so, anyway. i have got a feeling we are going to hear more from him as he heads down to georgia in about a week. meanwhile, it was just before thanksgiving that the u.s. supreme court took a look at the restrictions that andrew cuomo, the governor of new york. put on a certain areas in new york state. and certainly what he did, he had some limitations due to coronavirus. that you can only have 10 to 25 people in churches and synagogues and mosques and things like that. well, the supreme court came out and said, you know what? cuomo is wrong. and blocked his decision and sided with the bishop of brooklyn an orthodox jewish synagogue that sued the state the ruling result matsly was 5-4 and said that cuomo was trampling on religious freedom. so we were interested to see what andrew cuomo would say because the supreme court said hey, governor, you can't do that. well, when the governor had a chance, he said this supreme court ruling on religious gatherings is irrelevant from any practical impact because the zone that they were talking about has already been moot. this was an opportunity for the court to express philosophy and politics. >> i'm so gadd we have an attorney in the center square. so, emily, as he said it's not moot because those particular churches and senegals are no longer in the red or orange zones doesn't that then apply other churches and synagogues and modifications in other parts of the state that are in the red and orange zones? emily: that's absolutely right, steve. his comments were totally false. it doesn't matter about the practical application with his zone designation. what matters is that this very relevant ruling blasted the fact that he was unequally applying his restrictions. regardless of zone he was saying there are capacity restrictions and places of worship and not in retail. remember, too that there were multiple types of faiths that had sued and that had petitioned the government. so as well the archdiocese, the roman catholic diocese in addition to judaism faith. a whole host of it. all denominations had issues with this. as well as all of the people of faith. and remember, there were two arguments as well. there was the nonessential designation and then that unequal application that they argued rightly infringed the free exercise clause. steve: pete, isn't it great we have a lawyer right here? pete: she actually know what is she is talking about as opposed to the two of us. emily: put on my lawyer hat. pete: it's true. isn't it true that neil gorsuch amy coney barrett chiming in this is why elections matter and supreme court picks matter. steve: pete, you are leaving out chief justice john roberts sided with the dissent said cuomo was right. pete: big surprise. see how big that majority is with him. we had father gerald murphy on who is a reverend here in new york city. talking about the impact of this decision. watch. >> i salute the supreme court because they have done their duty. people have a right in this country to worship god. that should not be restricted by arbitrary limitations that the governor had said included 10 people maximum in saint patrick's cathedral. that's an absurdity. if you can go to the home depot or the liquor store, which the governor was allowing. why can't you go worship god? please. no hypocrisy. no double standard. if i want to go to church, i want my people to come to mass, we can do social distancing and wear masks and it will be safe. pete: the reverend mentioned double standards and on another topic here we have the "the washington post" which is full of double standards on a regular basis. we want to point out how they compared people gathering for thanksgiving to what happened post election. sometimes headlines tell their own story. here's what "the washington post" tweeted yesterday. this is a -- this is a headline from them. they said as americans prepare to gather for -- well, that's the wrong one. that's the one we are are going to play second. as americans prepare to area for thanksgiving, the world watches with dread and disbelief. we are getting together for thanksgiving. dread and disbelief. steve: that is so interesting. because what the post is saying is look at all those people getting together. the world is dreading it. but where was the tweet talking about dread when they looked at the celebrations for joe biden or the protests during this past summer as well? on november 7th after joe biden had secured what is projected to be the winner, celebrations erupt across the country as biden declared the winner of the presidency. i don't see any mention of dread there. pete: no dread. steve: once again, people gathered in numbers accord together cdc because they were not socially distanced. sean duffy former congressman from wisconsin said you know what? that's hypocrisy with a capital h. >> this is complete hypocrisy, griff. i mean, come on. the liberals and the left want to bash republicans or families that get together but celebrate, you know, the rallies of black lives matter or joe biden victory celebration. and that's why so many americans don't have faith in the media and by the way we don't give a damn what europe thinks or anyone else around the world thinks get together and celebrate thanksgiving. we believe in freedom we believe coming together with the best information protecting our families. having a little thivenering dinner and a glass of wine. steve: is he right about the glass of wine part. so, you know, emily, ultimately, it's that double standardism where it's okay to gather in gigantic numbers to celebrate joe biden or to march in protest but it is not something good to gather with your family on thanksgiving if you could be too close to somebody. emily: remember, there was a surge of coronavirus -- an uptick of cracks wit contractioe national guard. steve: he was there he was one of the national guardsmen. emily: that's right. yesment exactly. steve: pete forgot. emily: all convenient. of course the hypocrisy as well extends to those governors and lawmakers who set the rules and disobey them and then issue an apology when they are caught. the whole thing is unfortunately unsurprising. steve: you know what? if the "the washington post" would have had a headline back then it. would have been the world dreads pete hegseth is on the streets of washington, d.c. pete: that's a regular headline, pete. come on. you know that. steve: and thank you for your service. emily: absolutely. bringing in carly shimkus for our headlines now. good morning, carley. carley: pose pete hegseth headlines are fake news. is he a great guy. pete: don't google me. carley: president trump out with good news saying the coronavirus vaccine very close to being shipped out. >> we are rounding the curve. the vaccines are being delivered literally it. will start next week and the week after. and it will hit the frontline workers and seniors, and doctors, nurses. carley: the president went on to say joe biden should not be given credit for the vaccines, calling them a medical miracle. suspected north korean hackers tried breaking into the

just really wondering what it is? steve: pete is examining the leftover turkey gulet. pete: don't open that door. i'm an oven opener. emily: i have never been more jealous of not being there with you.

emert, good morning to you. >> good morning, steve. how are you today? happy thanksgiving. steve: thank you very much. a lockdown is not just about businesses. it's about people because that's their job. and they have got livelihoods. and they have got families, right? >> yeah. i think that's the point that i'm trying to make louder than any other point is that, you know, this tact that we took at the beginning we made a mistake at the beginning to label jobs and therefore people as the essential vs. nonessential. every job is essential to the person who has it. we need to realize that that there are people who can't see a future for themselves if they don't have that means to take care of their families, to provide for their kids and especially at this time of the year you think about the financial burdens of the people of this country. steve: but, walt, think about the states and i know you are down in georgia right now in atlanta. before you head out and do some more ceoing. there are certain states where, you know, they are taking a pause again. they are essentially doing another lockdown. then have you got los angeles where the mayor said, you know what? forget about indoor dining. you can't do that you can't do outdoor dining, either. >> yeah. unfortunately, we are not haviny we are not having to deal with quite that we do have some not allowing indoor dining right now. what's frustrating about that there has been no data that ties any outbreak in communities back to restaurants that i have seen or the nra has shared with me or others. we do contact

advice. i read an article that quoted you. you said the true way to solve a crisis is to go stand in the middle of it. and so, walton, if you are standing in the middle of a crisis, what are you able to do, i'm standing in the middle of a waffle house back room right now not many people get to see a secret reveal. steve: exclusive. >> no. but you know what we have learned by standing in the middle of it side by side with our people is that we can keep our people safe and keep our customers safe. we have social distancing. we wear masks. we do contact tracing. we screen -- clearing throat] excuse me. we screen people when they come to work. we have excellent ventilation systems. there is a lot we can do. people don't stay long four restaurants. we don't have big parties. we have learned

this week. i was over at my grand parent's. found out i was three for three. and then within the next 20, 30 minutes found out i was five for five. and it really got real then. definitely glued to the

adidas here. there definitely are some people. not like what we used to see with foot traffic that could be of course because of the pandemic. anchor tenet tenants like the me theaters closed. sales on since mid october and some of these deals are pretty good. according to a refinitive average discount on handbags clothes and shoes 22%. better than last year at 16%. people may be at home watching tv and browsing their phone shopping online. we are still expecting the sales to be pretty strong. according to the national retail federation, we are expecting growth between anywhere from 3 to 5%. so that's pretty much bringing in $750 billion on black friday the federation say they may spend more because they are not spending on travel as well as entertainment. the big question is will this shift become permanent? are we going to only start shopping online? according to that survey 67% that responded said they will continue shopping their black friday deals in the future even if there is a vaccine and even if things return to normal. so this could be a major change, a permanent fixture to the online shopping world for black friday deals. shopping from home, but i guess the retailers

pleasure to be with you all and happy thanksgiving and they will continue to go this far because, for whatever reason, we are not curtailing it. you know, when i think about the 54th massachusetts infantry regiment memorial that was defaced up there in boston. those were the first black men who served in uniform for the united states of america during the civil war. and on thanksgiving, when we think about the soldiers, sailors, airmen marines and coast guardsmen who are not with their families so that we can have a thanksgiving, so that we can live in this incredible country to have a veterans memorial attacked by these domestic terrorists is unconscionable. and i think it's about time that our elected officials step up and stop these actions. steve: right. well, it is portland. i know a number of people were arrested. it will be interesting to see how they are prosecuted ultimately. meanwhile, you're sitting in the dallas-fort worth metroplex right now, colonel. and you're one

are moving out of california. and a lot of them are moving to the lone star state. over 650,000 people left california just in last year alone. and i think the number that moved in for a net loss of 173,000 for people in that state of california. so, what is going on in texas where people around the country are thinking, you know what? whether it's a restrictions or the taxes, or the covid or whatever, i can work anywhere. i'm going to work in texas? >> well, sure, and my last duty assignment in the army was fort hood, texas, i was blessed to be able to come back here to texas. some 10

pete: gruff, thank you very much -- griff, thank you so much. and the president is, ultimately, why he's waited this long, you'd think, and we'll bring that more to you as that evidence continues to be unearthed. but weaver going to go to another topic this morning as well. you know, the 2020 election, some of the loudest and craziest vowses were on the street saying defund the police, an idea that shouldn't get any traction at all but certainly has on the far left. and, ultimately, some of those advocates who are calling to get rid of our police departments, one of which is andrea ritchie, spoke to mother jones saying they're not happy about what a possible biden administration would do on actually defunding the police. here's a portion of what she said: what we've heard so far from the democrat party is what we're not going to do. i don't expect they will be supportive of the demands from the street. the demand is still on defund the police, and it's going to get louder and louder, and i don't know that we need to be the inside. they're going to hear it either way. so the left wing not stopping in its fervent desire and belief to say the men and women in blue are the problem. steve: and we heard that a lot from a number of people with protests and things like that ever since george floyd was killed. and then going forward -- and you can see right there, defund the police, defund d.o.c -- pete: department of corrections. teaf steve exactly, thank you. but when it comes to the mainstream, joe biden had had called, had embraced calls for reform during the campaign, you know, things like bans on chokeholds and some sort of national police oversight commission. and when asked about defunding the police from, he said, you know, actually i've asked for an additional $300 million for police funding mainly for improved training. and those are the things he is saying. it'll be interesting to see as president-elect what he talks about going forward. but there were so many people who had the message defund the police on the political left and people all across the country watched that. it's like if you take money away from our police, when we call 'em when we need 'em, is somebody going to come? that potent message was cap cured by the republicans -- captured by republicans and reminded folks up to the election. and after the election a lot of democrats across the country said that defund stuff messed us up bad. watch this. >> this foolishness about you've got to be this progressive or that progressive, that phrase defund the police cost jamie or harrison tremendously. >> some of the things they were hearing from some of the more extreme elements of the democratic party, i don't think that was helpful. >> defund the police, i don't know any of the democrats in office that are for defunding the police. >> has lost. the number one concern that people brought to me was do funding the police. steve: and as we we heard in one of those sound bites, the extreme elements still want to defund the police. and, emily, you're up in seattle, the pacific northwest, that has been really ripe and, in fact, they have axed money from police budgets. emily: indeed, they have, and it's heartbreaking not only for the community, but especially for law enforcement morale which for all the officers i talk to has just absolutely plummeted. our police force is the size of what it was in 1990, but our population has grown by 50% since then. and keep in mind, you guys, in the unmy anytime wisdom of the -- infinite wisdom of the progressive left, you're also slashing overtime which is the only way here in seattle that these officers can maintain all of their requisite licenses needed to fill all the positions that include piloting boats and scuba dyeing and all of these unique tasks with our 100 miles of water lewin here in the city alone. so these are the things that absolutely gut the community in terms of its health and, of course, in term it is of its logic. keep in mind as well that the democratic party thought this year they would take back the white house, take back the senate and grow their majority in the house, and it looks like at least two of the three aren't going to happen. pete: that's right. we have miranda devine from the new york post on our program earlier talking about the influence of the far left. here's what she said. >> blm obviously thinks that it has a stake in this administration because probably the riots and the unrest that they caused in the runup to the election all on false premises probably had something to do with the election results. so now they feel they have a stake in it. maybe the progressives are starting to smell a rat and think, hey, we didn't go to all this trouble to get you installed just to have you stiff us and put in your old moderates. pete: yeah. the contention may continue there with the far left having one of the most lunatic ideas you can possibly conceive of which is getting rid of the law enforcement that maintains our law and order and and equal justice. of course, they're the ones that often -- steve: right. and, pete, to that point, joe biden still is projected to be the winner, but it is the members of the house that really took the beating, because it's the local are races where it's like who's going to come when we pick up the phone? pete: yeah, very true. and state legislatures. all right. black friday ised today and stores have been open for a few hours in philadelphia. they stayed up longer to be open than they did for counting ballots. [laughter] steve: are you you would e tomorrowizing? pete: that was not on the item prompter. steve, take it away. >> you know what? a lot of philly shoppers come over to new jersey, and maybe with the chance meeting of steve dos su, a fellow new jersey january, right? but here in new jersey like the res of the country, stores did not open on thanksgiving this year because of the virus. i'm showing you two places that are side but side where we saw two long lines, and it really represented the two sides to have economy. the place you're looking at now is called b positive, and you sell your blood plasma, and you get $50 on average, and you're allowed to sell an average of twice a week. you can still see a line in there. that's the other end of the economy you're not going to hear a lot on black friday. and then here we met a father who filled his nissan up for his three daughters getting classic toys. and then the gamestop here had a line since wednesday at 4:30, and we we met the father and son who were first in line, and the big thing this year if you haven't heard is the sony playstation 5. and it's $500. we saw 100 plus people in line to get that that. and then when the manager showed up to hand out the circulars in the fine print if it said each store had a minimum of two of these, so there was only two for sale, and this father and son got one of them, and boy, it was a memorable thanksgiving eating thanksgiving dinner on the sidewalk and getting one to have two playstation 5s. maybe not such a good memory for others, especially the folks who are having to sell their blood just to get some money for the holiday time in the philadelphia lawyer. guys? steve: what a story. pete: thanks, steve. steve: thank you very much and happy holidays. all right, it is 8:11 here in new york city, and right here on the mess zien level with us, carley shimkus joins us. >> reporter: if i can get a little bit of prompter help, that would be very great. steve: there you go. >> reporter: i didn't memorize this. food banks and shelters struggled we enormous lines on thanksgiving. long lines were seen across the country including in georgia and texas. u.s. census data says more than 25 million americans reported not having enough to eat. it comes as hundreds of thousands of people apply for unemployment due to the pandemic. now, it may soon be oozier for americans to travel to italy. instead of a required 14-day quarantine, passengers will be test for covid-19 after landing at the airport in rome. this would be on flights from new york city as well as atlanta. it's still pending approval from italy's transport, health and foreign ministries and could begin as soon as next month. a father and son graduate from a texas plus academy together -- police academy together for the first time ever. >> it's actually my dad that gave me the idea. he told me it was kind of something that i'd be good at. >> when he told me he'd signed up, he'd gotten the job and he was already enrolled in the police academy, i didn't want him to jump ahead of me. >> reporter: they won't work at the same d. together with winston saying he wants his son to be his own officer. what a great story there, guys. steve: that is terrific. emily: i love that. steve: and just out of curiosity, how did you like the leftover turkey galette? >> reporter: i will get a clean plate award, i kid you not. it is the perfect cozy, hearty thing to have the day after thanksgiving, and if you don't like turkey, that would be a really great thing to serve on thanksgiving, you know? steve: and you know what? you can use all sorts of leftovers, you could put ham in there, chicken in there -- >> reporter: oh, my gosh. buttery perfection. steve: thank you is very much. emily: sounds amazing. coming up, secretary of astronaut mike pompeo wants zero boots on the ground in afghanistan. his plan to do it and reaction from general jack keane next. ♪ ♪ don't worry, julie... coughing's not new. this woman coughs... and that guy does, too. people cough in the country, at sea, and downtown. but don't worry, julie... robitussin shuts coughs down.

>> well, the goal has always been zero as a position by the president and his administration. and what they've got in place here are some conditions, you know, to help get to zero. one is taking place right now. there are peace negotiations taking place between the taliban and the government of afghanistan. that is a good thing. the problem is we don't even have a ceasefire which should have been a condition prior to beginning the peace negotiations. and, indeed, the violence, pete, has increased 50% since the negotiations began. so that is, that is not very a, a very good condition on the part of the taliban in terms of the seriousness about the negotiations. so what would be the other obstacles or impediments to this. we would have to have a peace deal. and what does that peace deal look like, is there a really a permanent ceasefire, are people laying down their arms, and then the final hurdle i believe a trump or biden administration would have to deal with, what assurances do we have that al-qaeda is not going to establish a sanctuary once again in afghanistan while there is right now a small presence of them and also isis? what guarantees do we have to protect the american people from both of them who have aspirations to attack and kill americans. those are kind of the things that are in front of the pathway to zero. and i think they are appropriate conditions that our leaders will consider or as we move forward. pete: yeah. it just feels like sometimes the conditions, the condition is that we'll never meet the conditions, and the goalpost keeps moving. we'll continue to monitor that as well. i want to get your take on iran which is a central issue the trump administration has take on in the last four years. israel is now reportedly preparing for the possibility -- these are based on reports -- of a u.s. strike on iran, specifically the your run yum -- uranium enrichment fundamental. do you have a sense that could actually be imminent? >> no, i don't think so. if israel has their antenna up, we've got to pay attention to them. they know more about the iranians than anybody. of the u.n. watchdog agency that tracks iran's nuclear development program, the iaea, said iran has increased their uranium enrichment 12 times over what was supposed to be the nuclear deal. so, obviously, they're -- the president gathered the security team and said what does this mean. are they on a fast pathway to a weapon. if they are, what are our options? options are do we strike them militarily? do we conduct a cyber attack against them which we have done successfully in the past? do we conduct espy if imagine the operations against them? by the way, in the last year inside of iran there have been dozens of unexplained explosions at plants and other factories. two of them, one is a missile production facility and another is a uranium enrichment facility at natanz. it's wisely believed the us recalllies -- israelis are doing that. so those are options also. pete, based on the facts that are there, i don't want see anything -- i don't see anything taking place. but here's what i think is really happening. i'm just speculating. when president trump took over if president obama, he was handed a mess with north korea, and obama told him this is my biggest problem. but as the team looked at it, they said, well, we're not doing anything about it. i mean, i don't think president trump wants to pass to his successor, president biden if that's who is going to succeed him, a problem that he has not worked on and has some answers and solutions and a pathway to. i think that's also the understated thing that's taken place here. pete: you free to speculate anytime, informed speculation, and we really appreciate your insights. general jack keane, happy thanksgiving. thank you, sir. >> happy thanksgiving to you and the fox friends there. pete: coming up, while you sat down for thanksgiving dinner, "the washington post" claims the rest of the world watched in dread.

it means the editors of the bbc, etc. that's what the world means. number two, they're looking on with horror at americans' love of liberty, that we're actually prepared to say that there are things that we consider when we look at the risks as i did, i am not a young man, and i had about 14 people over at my house representing about 9 households. and what we did in order to meet the criteria of governor newsom is we protested racism for a few minutes, and that immediately made us okay. steve: so that is how you marked yesterday -- >> that's -- steve: and -- >> right.well, isn't that okay? you just said it yourself, if you gone astronaut, that's fine. if you -- demonstrate, that's fine. steve: yesterday after he had a video conference with military leaders, the president was talking a little bit about the georgia race, that he would go down next weekend to campaign for the two republicans. also he was talking about how, you know, the people down in georgia feel terrible because they were robbed because he insists that he won the state which joe biden narrowly, according to the recounts, won. but after that, dennis -- and this is something close to your heart -- he took on, he blasted twitter and accused them of manipulating the trending top ticks because they're biased against big tech. and as you can see right there, for purposes of national security, section 230 must be immediately terminated. and 230 shields internet companies from liability for the content that people who use those sites post. so you know all about big tech because you've been on this show talking about how prager university produces hundreds of videos each year talking about things that are important to you and to americans. but youtube has deemed a number of them, sorryies that is inappropriate for the -- sorry, that is inappropriate for the internet, and so they've restricted you. >> that's correct. and others have fared even worse than we have. the president is entirely right. section 230 shields them from any lawsuits for libel and so on. the quid pro quo was you'll be shielded, but you have to be a free conduit of information. so they've lied, they've cheated. twitter is the worst. twitter is thuggish. and do you know that twitter takes down doctors, epidemiologists, other scientists who simply say hydroxychloroquine might work? that is enough to be remove from twitter. to have your account closed down. if you are a doctor. this is a lie, by the way, that everything else that comes from the left. if i ever talk about liberals, i'm talking about the left. truth is not a value to them. they don't follow the science. they follow scientists with whom they agree. it's a very important distinction. the left does not follow science. so that if thousands of scientists like the great barrington deck la a ration, the great barrington statement said the lockdown is a catastrophe, it's not even reported. and if you do report it, twitter will take you down. and with regard to prager-u, i testified in the senate a year and a half ago, and ted cruz -- who's been one of the few fighters on behalf of free speech in this country in the congress -- ted cruz asked the guy before i spoke, he asked one of the heads of google why did you take down mr. prager's, why didn't you -- why dud you put it on the restricted list meaning children can't see it. and his answer was, are you ready? because it mentions murder. yeah. the awe das few of prager-u -- audacity of prager-u to put out a video on the ten commandments and mention murder. is so i said, senator cruz, we will now put out a google-friendly nine commandments. [laughter] steve: oh, man. the hypocrisy is that when it comes to politics, they always seem to crack down on one side, and it always -- >> only, only. by the way, all of this is documented in this great film called "no safe spaces." it is a great film, and i'm not saying that because i'm in it, has nothing to do with the fact that i'm in it. it's just great. your kids should watch what's happening because they are inheriting a country for the first time in american history where free speech is literally threatened with almost exe 2006. steve: all right. dennis prager joining us this day after thanksgiving. sir, thank you very much and happy holidays. >> pleasure to be with you. you too. steve: thank you, sur. all right, coming up on this friday, chicago has endured a lot this year, so will the holiday season be enough to help this shopping mecca survive?

jeff flock, like us, working the day after thanksgiving. he's with fox business, of course. he's live in chicago with more. and and i would like to know, you must be outside a store that's selling something, and there must be a crowd of people, otherwise jeff flock would not be there. >> reporter: you know, steve, things change when things change, and they have certainly changed here on the mag enough isn't mile of chicago -- magnificent mile of chicago. typically, this would be teeming with shoppers, and look at it. there's nobody out here. i am at -- yeah, i'm in a place where typically this is the temple of shopping, water tower place. gotta put the mask on to go inside. but this is typically a place where they would be lined up outside the doors, they would rush through into the lobby here and up theses calculate ors. but look at what we see. it may be the temple of shopping, but it's like that old kid's thing, here's the church, here's the steeple, open the door, where are the people? this opened about a half hour ago. maybe dave follows me up the escalator here, and they've got, you know, double-barrel problem in chicago. not just covid, but also the problem of the looting that took place here, you know, the social unrest. that has had a big impact on the downtown of chicago. some people wonder if it will ever come back. i think we're at the top of the escalate arer now, and maybe you see we're inside the mall. well, some stores aren't even open and orrs, well, you see it. i don't have to say much. i can just show you a picture. we hope someday it's different. right now, not so much so. steve: you know, jeff, it's kind of haunting to see on black friday for the stores to be empty. but to hear the music, it's the music. >> reporter: yeah, the music and the -- with the covers on, you know, it is difficult to see. i will tell you. i've never seen it like this in 35 years in chicago. steve: people are still shopping, they're just shopping on their phone, they're not actually going out. pete: look at that. steve: my goodness. jeff, thank you very much for the live report. pete: thank you. >> reporter: good to see you. steve: good to see you as with. 18 minutes before the top of the hour on this friday, and look right over there, another face, carley shimkus with news from the pope. >> reporter: that's right. [laughter] just want to see if i can get that right. we begin with this, pope francis praises medical workers on the coronavirus front lines. the pontiff writing in a new york times op-ed i saying, quote: they are the saints next door who have awakened something important in our hearts, making credible once more what we desire to instill by our preaching. listen to this, a woman caught on camera smashing hundreds of bottles inside a grocery store. watch as she grabs wine and liquor bottles from shelves, storing them on the store floor in england. the aisle completely covered in booze and broken glass. the store says she broke 500 bottles costing $130,000 in damage. she was of arrested by police. it's still unclear why she went on that rampage. my gosh. well, remember this awesome story? the grandma who accidentally invited a stranger to thanksgiving dinner and then he shows up? well, they just celebrated their fifth thanksgiving together. look at them. but this year was different for wanda and jamal. wanda celebrated without her husband who died of cooed are rudd 19. so she -- covid-19. so she held a picture of him while taking a selfie with jamal, his girlfriend and family. thanksgiving in space. nasa proving nowhere is too far to get in on the thanksgiving tradition. >> i'm talking to you from the or international space station, and we are zooming above the planet at 17,500 miles an hour. but we still got to have thanksgiving up here. >> reporter: that is right. the astronauts getting the day off to share a freeze-dried feast together including smoked turkey, mashed poe tau toes and green beans. they even got to watch some football. how about that? guys? steve: carly are, you could not see this, but during the story about the woman who broke the booze, pete actually -- i saw a tower just like that. [laughter] pete: we could try it here. steve: oh, no! >> reporter: we here on "fox & friends," we're not going to waste alcohol. emily: no, or we are not. [laughter] pete: thank you -- emily: the astronauts sounded like they had a perfect thanksgiving, only missing steve's galette, of course. now on to some weather with adam klotz. adam, tell us what going on in the country. a. adam: there's some folks who don't want to do their christmas shopping on their phone, there's going to be a possibility to do so. the weather is really fantastic, pretty calm across the country. this is our satellite and radar. the only spot we're really paying attention so is along the central gulf coast stretching over to the western gulf coast, so you're getting into the houston area, running along the texas gulf coast. we've seen some rain otherwise taking it farther west with, santa ana winds continue to blow across southern california. that's increasing the fire rusk, so a higher fire danger there. temperature wise though before it's all said and done, it is going to turn out to be a nice day. a lot of spots close to 50s, 60 degrees, this is well above our seasonal average. if you're brave enough and go outside to do that shopping, you could do so today. back to you guys. pete: just not chicago. adam, appreciate it. well, his latest smash hit, one of them girls, has topped country radio for over a month. steve: and it is just one of many hit songs off of country music star lee brice's brand new album called "hey world." emily: the mat numb-selling country -- platinum-selling country music singer/song writer joins us now. good morning, lee. you have so much to be thankful for, of course. three number one hits in a row, your seventh chart topper overall, tell us what you're grateful for this thanksgiving. >> well, there has been, there's so much to be thankful for, i mean, you know, myself, i went through covid, and i was one of the lucky ones, i guess, very blessed and didn't really have symptoms. and so got through it very, very easily. but truthfully, this whole year being able to, you know, it's been tough being out of work, but i have been working hard, and we have had, you know, some success in radio. the biggest thing is i've been able to be home with my family for, well, you know, we're going to be coming up on a year here in a couple of months. so that's something that i would not have been able to do, you know, spend so much time with my children and my wife, you know, had i been doing a normal, everything had been normal, i've been on the road so much. so it's been nice to be home, and so i'm really thankful for that. and i'm here right now, actually, where i, where i was, you know, where i lived at my mama's house, and so it's cool to be in my hometown for thanksgiving. pete: a couple of hits on radio, yeah, that's an understatement. [laughter] we all know that. your album "hey world," your fifth album came out. talk to us about -- you alluded to it a little bit, but the putting out a record in this moment and what was your inspiration for thattal -- that album. >> i've been making this record for a couple of years, so there are some songs that came from this time that makes you reflect and think about things in a different way. but really this is just another snapshot of my life over the last couple of years of making music and who i am and where i am in my life and what i'm appreciative for and what with i, you know, what i think about, what i care about. so just excited to get brand new music out. you know, these days you've got to get more and more and more out, everybody wants more now. but i can only go so fast, and so we made a great record or, and i'm excited about it. but right now it's been a good time, you know, to reflect and really think about what's important. steve: and for you it's been your family, which is great. lee, stay there, because when we come back, lee brice is going to perform "go tell it on the mountain.
