joins us to discuss. pushback against mandates starting january 4th affecting tens of millions of workers, what you need to know before the deadline and what kind of fine businesses could be facing for refusing to comply. new developments in the investigation by special counsel john durham and new information on what is pushing the trump russia collusion story. democrats in disarray still scrambling to push through the fake infrastructure and spending bills on the heels of election losses across the country this week, white house correspondent kevin corke is covering that for us tonight. >> house speaker nancy pelosi and her leadership team spent hours today scrambling to narrow the number of holdouts on the sweeping spending bill. while it is still anyone's guess if, and i mean if, they will manage a boat on friday as expected, they would do so on that and the infrastructure offering i should point out, no matter what makes it over the finish line especially as it relates to the build back better plan. help it could face a very thorny uphill climb. >> the president has been in close touch with speaker pelosi speaker pelosi and leader schumer and their strong agreement that we need to get to these both done for the american people as we've been saying as soon as possible. we cannot wait here, the american people cannot wait to. >> this train is moving so fast in the house, they've blown by hearings, blown by bipartisan markups, and they don't even have a score from the congressional budget office which is required in the senate. the product coming out of the house if it makes it over here is dead on arrival until we get a cbo score. >> that cbo score could balloon things, it could cost as much as $4 trillion according to some analysis. this is from one of the moderates on the democratic side, it's hard to make a decision when you haven't seen the full text and there hasn't been a cbo score. but i'm hopeful. that according to kathleen rice of the great state of new york. many moderates have suggested the house should take infrastructure, get that done since it's already made it past the senate and it's been cbo scored and spend more time on the $1.75 trillion bill which some estimates say could cost as much as $4 trillion. not surprising, democratic infighting has been heightened especially after the shellacking on tuesday both in virginia and other elections around the country. there is high confidence tonight that the house would get its work done by tomorrow at some point and make a vote and put the ball into the skeptical hands of the united states senate. >> shannon: in the meantime democrats cannot get on the same page about what went wrong with them, polar opposites in deciding where to point the blame. >> it's a familiar refrain, you and i have talked about it over the years whenever a party loses a major election, people debate in the party to be go too far? or did we not go far enough? in this case that would mean jog to the left too much or not so much? progressives say push harder next time, people will understand what we can do with our promises and they will fall in line. centrists argue going too far is what put them in the losers seat in the first place and if they keep going left come it will doom the party especially with midterms just around the corner. exit polling does suggested that some of the progressive left policies actually did turn off voters in the commonwealth, most notably their stance on covid lockdowns and illegal immigration. obviously inflation fears and we can't overlook the obvious, the elephant in the room is education it weighed heavily on voters in the commonwealth and crt in particular. >> shannon: see you in just a few. it is a date, president biden says january 4th is the deadline for a federal covid-19 vaccine mandate for businesses with more than 100 employees despite fierce resistance and plenty of threats of legal action, chief breaking news correspondents trace gallagher is on the case for us tonight. >> the best guess here is the january 4th deadline will apply to about 84 million workers at medium and large companies. the rule is that you can either get vaccinated or tested weekly and wear a mask in the workplace. there are no promises that mask mandates will go away even in early vaccinated workplaces. if you are among the 17 million people working in nursing homes, hospitals, and other health care related environments, there is no testing option. it is vaccination or else. eventually many believe these mandates will trickle down to smaller businesses. the general counsel for the national retail federation says this will have a major impact on an already overburdened system. >> we are suffering under real workforce shortages, we are suffering under supply chain issues, some of which are in turn due to workforce shortages. i'm really concerned about what is going to happen if employees and even marginal percentages decide they would rather not work then be subject to mandates like this one. >> florida governor ron desantis plans to mount a legal challenge, he called the move unconstitutional saying the biden administration does not have the authority to impose this using the applicant patient health administration. the status says the president is basing this on an imminent threat but is certainly taking his time. >> it took him six weeks to write the role and it doesn't go into effect until january, we are going to be challenging that. i think this rule is absolutely going down. >> governor desantis has support from other states including south dakota. here's governor christie nome. >> i've already signed an executive order that protected our people from this unconstitutional action but i am announcing you that we are joining several other states and filing litigation against this unconstitutional mandate. >> while the biden administration clearly believes it has the leverage to make this happen, the headwinds appear to be ratcheting up a notch or two. >> shannon: trace gallagher, thank you very much. friday november 12th will be vaccination awareness day for chicago public schools. officials in the windy city announcing tonight that classes will be canceled in order to allow kids the opportunity to get the vaccine and reportedly faculty and staff will be given paid days off. some children in san francisco will be added to the city's proof of vaccination requirement for indoor venues. kids ages 5 to 11 will be barred from places like restaurants, gyms, and large events inside without proof of vaccination. once the city expands the measure which officials they will be in a matter of weeks, that city will become the first in the u.s. to require vaccination proof from kids. a russian analyst who helped provide information for the infamous steele dossier which filled the trump-russia investigation is now facing multiple charges of lying to the fbi and has been arrested. this is a crucial part of the ongoing probe by special prosecutor john durham. david spunt has details tonight from the justice department. >> his name is igor, he is charged with five counts of lying to the fbi. he made an appearance in court this afternoon, we were there as he left court. special counsel john durham said a russian national living in northern virginia was the primary source for british spy christopher steele who compiled the widely talked about steele dossier full of accusations about president donald trump. the indictment alleges he lied to the fbi about working for christopher steele as his primary source of information prickled this afternoon he appeared in federal court in the eastern district of virginia with a judge released him with no electronic monitoring, the indictment also mentioned his involvement with someone identified as p.r. executive 1, someone believed to be close to the clinton operation. him he was the third defendant to be charged in john durham's two and a half year probe looking at the origins of the investigation into trump and his associates. the other two pleaded guilty to falsifying a document used to obtain a fisa warrant against trump campaign eight carter page, the other's name is michael sussman. he is the former clinton campaign attorney charged with lying to the fbi about alleged connections between donald trump and the kremlin. 's information did not pan out. earlier today a judge signed an order dealing with classified information as part of his case. durum is clearly building a pattern, charging lower-level officials with lying to the fbi, attorney general merrick garland recently confirmed his budget was renewed and he continues to do his job, while kevin kleinsmith pleaded guilty to his charge, michael sussman pleaded not guilty and plans to fight the case in court. earlier today, he will make another appearance in court next week. >> shannon: thank you. from those latest developments in the special counsel investigation into the biden administration forging forward for a nationwide covert mandate for businesses, we have senator mike lee. thank you, senator. and i want to play a little bit of what we heard about whether there could be a mandates, whether that is the role of the government here. >> no, i wouldn't demand it be mandatory. >> i think the question, that is not the role of the federal government, that is the role that institutions, private sector entities and others may take, that certainly is appropriate. >> i don't think you will ever see a mandating of vaccines particularly for the general public. >> shannon: senator, we have now arrived at what looks like an osha rule which is forcing private businesses to do what the government has been saying. >> i was thrilled to hear that joe biden and jen psaki agreed with the basic principles of federalism and limited government and separation of powers. this is the role of the federal government, it's certainly not something the president of the united states can order alone. the extent that government action is appropriate, it's appropriate only at the state in the local level. even there, it shouldn't happen at all because people shouldn't be forced to choose between keeping their job and being able to feed their family on the one hand and on the other hand getting a medical procedure they don't want. >> shannon: i heard from a business owner down in florida tonight, obviously governor desantis has taken a different position on this and he has pushed back hard on any mandate, vaccine, whatever. florida is in a different place but now the business owner has to make a decision, he has lot of employees all over the world. he doesn't want to comply with this mandate but it would cost him thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands in all of these fines pile up. what do you say to these folks? it's going to take a court battle to get a further clarification on this, that can take some time. it can cost people a lot of businesses and a lot of jobs. >> this is the same question i'm hearing from business owners throughout utah and america, these fines make it crippling. it would destroy any business model. $14,000, roughly per person, per day, these things mount up quickly. they mount up in such a way that it makes it extortion, it makes it impossible to not comply, that's what the biden administration is doing it this way, the biden administration knows but the time it works its way through the courts, there's a good chance that the damage might be done and he might have won at. but at what cost? 14% of americans, that's the entire population of america who believes it's okay to make someone lose their job over this, it's not right. >> shannon: you've had a number of measures against mandates, you're not anti-vaccine, your anti-mandate, there's a difference. >> there's a big difference, i've gotten the vaccine come up my entire family has come i've encouraged everyone i know to get the vaccine. but that is a personal choice and it's not a choice the government should enforce, it's certainly not something that should force people to lose their jobs, its way of going to the senate floor 14 times including today each time offering up different pieces of legislation to stop the mandate. my latest one today drew the objection of democratic senators as each of the others have as well, that's unfortunate. >> i want to make sure we ask you about the newest development in the john durham investigation, jonathan turley a familiar face to fox viewers, and very well esteemed law professor said this today about igor danchenko. him his arrest as a seismic development and confirms that john durum is far from done with his investigation, a russian national who lives here in the u.s. as been indicted for lying five times to federal officials in connection with this investigation. where do you think it goes from here and how significant is this today? >> i tend to think it's very significant, it is fair to say that it's seismic and it's going to lead to other things. other lines of investigation, probably other indictments. this has deep state written all over it but in any event it confirms what we've known all along which was that dossier was a bunch of baloney it should never have been given credence to begin with. >> shannon: who will should be nervous about that tonight? >> look, anyone connected with this investigation should be nervous. i think it is very possible that the clinton campaign and the dnc should be very nervous about that. people will start asking questions and those questions will lead places. i look forward to finding out where it will lead us. >> shannon: he is very methodical, slow, and purposeful and folks seem to have a very high level of confidence in him to be apolitical with this, we will follow and see where it goes. thanks so much, good to see you. the ramifications of tuesdays off year election voting are just beginning to be felt in many communities, that is especially true in places that consider defunding the police department like minneapolis. or featured race were crime was a major factor. >> what started as a rallying cry for protesters and rioters in the violent summer of 2020, defund the police as policy was largely rejected this week by voters nationwide pickle in minneapolis with the thief on the police movement began after george floyd's murder, voters tuesday rejected a proposal to abolish the police department after a city saw a surge in violence in lack of police response times. speak of the people made it very clear they want more police presence, not less and their voices have been heard. >> according to the fbi, homicides rose a record 30% in cities nationwide in 2020. voters prioritize public safety and law and order candidates. in new york city, democrat eric adams a retired police captain easily won the mayoral race campaigning to bring back plainclothes anti-gun police units while cracking down on gangs. and buffalo democratic incumbent mayor byron brown was not even on the ballot while still managing to defeat a self-described socialist. voters responded by electing him instead to. >> i think it clearly is a rebuke of the fund police, it is a rebuke of socialism. >> and atlanta, the mayoral race will be a runoff between two democrats promising to increase the number of police officers in seattle, the progressive mayoral candidate who voted last year to cut the city's police budget in half lost by 30 points and a year after defunding its police, portland mayor ted wheeler announced yesterday, he now wants to increase police funding by more than $5 million. >> this is the deadliest era in modern times for the city of portland. i hear your fear and your frustrations. >> the latest pew research poll finds 45% of americans want to increase police funding, just 15% want to decrease it. >> shannon: thanks, brian. and aircraft stalling as skydivers prepare for their jump and that's when things really got dicey. and how could you be mad at this cutie?

's chief correspondent jonathan hunt explains from los angeles. >> in the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity in the cargo crisis is providing opportunity for thieves breaking into this freight train as it titled in los angeles. a theft and recovery prevention network says more than $5 million worth of goods were stolen along the california supply chain in the third quarter of this year, up 42% from a year ago. the theft is stripping even more potential inventory from stores already struggling to fill shelves as a result of the ongoing backlog at the nation largest port, los angeles and long beach. of the container ships keep coming at a pace that the ports along with their partners in trucking and rail seem unable to keep up with. as the weeks to come by with dozens of ships idling at sea, small businesses in particular are suffering, so much so that the los angeles port director is appealing to those larger businesses who don't urgently need their products to get out of the way. >> think of that small, third-generation family owned business that imports ten containers of toys a year. their entire payroll depends on the next four weeks. >> president biden's cabinet members seem split over the cause of the problem of the solution. it's a covid issue according to the transportation secretary. >> we want to see all of these disruptions and, left end the pandemic, that is what getting everybody vaccinated is all about. speak of the commerce secretary suggests a private-sector problem. >> we are going to continue to ask them to lead in and help. there's no light switch, if there where we would flick it. >> the blame game goes on, the white house, port officials, trucking organizations, all saying it's not their fault. for kids and parents likely don't care. they just want someone to fix it in time for the holidays. at the port of los angeles, jonathan hunt, fox news. >> shannon: if you forgot, it is the weekend. we are here to talk about -- we love talking about weekend plans. this is the one i like. >> because you want the extra hour. >> shannon: the one in the spring is terrible, nobody likes it. may be some people do. >> i prefer the spring one because it gets light later. >> shannon: that first night. >> no question. daylight savings time actually ends on sunday and as americans prepare to fall back as shannon pointed out, you gain an extra hour of sleep. many states have actually passed measures tuesday on daylight savings permanently, it's a move that some people call lock the clock. over the past four years, 19 different state legislatures have either passed resolutions or laws supporting the idea of year-round daylight saving time. under federal law those states can't stay on daylight savings time it takes an act of congress to stay on the year-round daylight savings time. they've already come up with another measure. this is being supported by a number of congressional lawmakers, it's called the "sunshine protection act. "if you had your choice come i know that first day is brutal if i said to you you're going to stay on that daylight savings time, it's late until 9:00 at night, which would you say? >> shannon: i will vote for your measure. >> i appreciate that. >> shannon: as long as we don't have to do the back-and-forth with spring. there's some states where there is a weird split. >> they don't do it, they hold tight. there flipping back and forth and they are like we are always on daytime -- i guess it's on pacific time. i will do it just for you americans out there i will petition congress to pass the bill, daylight savings time forever. >> shannon: we will have to get you elected but you will get a lot of votes. i'll campaign for you. a republican trucker beating out to the leader of the democratic party in new jersey's state senate in what some are calling the biggest upset in an election year of upsets. how did it fly under the radar?

>> i've said for some time that's where the real debate has been for about 25 years. how far left will the democrats go, how far left will liberals be and how much of that are they willing to admit? for the longest time the mainstream media has talked about as if the real movement in the real effort is on the right and among conservatives. now we are seeing what is really been going on. >> shannon: let's read something from steve israel, he is a former democratic representative and he headed up reelection efforts for democrats in the house side. he writes this, this is a form of electroshock therapy for democrats to stop infighting and start delivering tangible results for an impatient electorate. to coin a phrase, never bring reconciliation to an electoral knife fight. in the war between progressive democrats and moderate democrats, republicans won. what should democrats take from this moving forward and heading into the midterms? >> i agree with mr. israel, that's an astute observation. it's important that purity politics, i've mocked it on the right with these weird purity tests, the left has the same problem. purity tests don't work and we have to find compromise, we have defined that middle ground, we have stopped fighting with one another over -- we didn't get exactly what we wanted there, we need to find common ground, pass the bills like president biden has already done to his own executive action cutting child poverty in half in the united states in his first year in office, that's almost a miracle. if the rest of the party comes together, we can show those other benefits to the american people. such as over 40% of our roads are poor or moderate at best and if we get this infrastructure bill through, we start fixing roads and small towns throughout america, that's what people want to see done the. >> i do think there is bipartisan agreement on fixing roads commits some of the other stuff that gets sucked into the bill, grocery shopping for people so they can stay home if they are ill, that sounds a good thing. i don't know if it sounds like infrastructure. there is that whole debate as well. you talk about purity tests, i want to play something. senator joe manchin and senator kyrsten sinema have both been targeted because they are the ones that are holding things up in the senate for all sides. they have been confronted, we've all seen the video of people following senator sinema into a bathroom while she is in there doing her thing with cameras and filming it. we have some new cameras and new video, something that went on with senator joe manchin committees are folks that want to talk with him about the climate, here's a bit of that.

(dramatic music) ♪ ♪ >> shannon: popeyes says that restaurant is going to close indefinitely and ending its agreement with the franchise operator. the delivery driver who film the viral video shows him walking in the kitchen and rats everywhere, he said he has been suspended from his job for doing that. to unravel all the legal issues at play, let's bring in class action a tree kelly hyman and brian claypool. here is what we know, from popeyes they said they were going to work with this person and get things cleaned up, taken in action determining the franchise agreement with the restaurant operator, he only operates as one location admits being closed indefinitely, the single restaurant does not reflect our strong food safety and cleanliness standards across popeyes. the video is disturbing. >> it is and i love popeyes. you know how much i love popeyes, it's one of my favorites pick up at the seat of rats in there, that is absolutely disgusting. this place had 17 health violations. they came in and closed it down and popeyes said we are terminating this. it will be interesting to see if, in fact, they gave some kind of notice to let him know they are going to terminate it based on the contract that they have. most likely the franchise did the right thing and shut it down because we can't have this. >> shannon: popeyes said this is the one location, they've handled it and popeyes is not going to be operating -- i don't know if it changes ownership, i have to think franchise agreements have very strong language in the event of something like this happening. the guy who took the video said he goes around and delivers raw chicken to all of the popeyes in this area in d.c. he said he has gotten in trouble and suspended from his job from the employer of the chicken distribution. the delivery man exposing nasty rat infestation set apart by louisiana chicken and washington, d.c., has suspended from his job as a result. ricardo land who was delivering the raw chicken film the disturbing video and posted it to tiktok, now he's out of work and he started they gofundme page that's doing surprisingly well. >> i feel bad for this guy but look, if you're taking a video like that and you are portraying your employer in a bad light, that's likely to happen, you're going to lose your job. let me comment quickly on whether the franchise or the franchisee is correct here. i'm leaning a little bit more toward the independent franchise owner, here's why. at cost between 250,004 $150,000 to start of a franchise. these are independent contractors. they manage their own businesses, they aren't supervised by the franchise. they invest a lot of time and money in these businesses, it's almost like a marriage, i'm still single but till death do you part or through good and bad? i think the franchise owner should have given the independent franchisee a second chance. we don't even know who owns that building. if it's owned by somebody else and this franchisee complains about the rodents and it wasn't fixed by the building owner, why is the franchisee losing the contract? they have to sign a 20 year contract, they can't have it both ways. >> shannon: is not clear who the employer of the delivery guy was, another independent company, we will track him. all i can say is i'm glad marital vows do not include anything about rats. we will update you folks on this case as we learn more. some good news before we say good night to look at the newest cats member for radio city hall live nativity scene. of the lucky camel, sheep, and donkey making their debut and receiving the annual blessing of the animals from new york cardinals timothy dolan two they are joined by the rockettes, let the festivities begin. i have been playing christmas music for quite a while with no shame. >> i like it too, i haven't started yet. i want to take you to cleveland, ohio, for this good news good night. history made at the cleveland zoo metro park zoo, for the first time in its 139 year history, the zoo has seen the birth of a baby male gorilla. the western lowland gorilla was born october 26, the public will have a chance to name the newborn in the coming weeks and very interesting, they actually do get a chance to feed the little baby gorilla with a bottle just like you would feed a baby, it's very cool. that is the sweetest little face and the public gets a chance to weigh in and come up with a new name. >> shannon: that little muffin is so cute. when you think about it, he is a week old and he's climbing around and doing everything. it's funny how different animals and different species come out much more advanced. good night from washington, that's it for me. i'm shannon bream, we will see you tomorrow. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >> jesse: good evening, and welcome to "tucker carlson tonight." i'm jesse watters in for tucker. the left still in a complete meltdown over glenn youngkin's win in virginia. they are accusing everyone who voted for him of being a tiki torch-carrying white supremacist. but first, donald trump became the republican nominee for president in mid-july 2016. just days later, a russian national living in this country made a claim that would upend donald trump's candidacy and eventually his presidency. it is a claim that change the
