including canada. some experts say it could already be in the u.s., undetected. carley: marianne rafferty has more on this breaking news this morning. good morning, marianne. >> reporter: good morning. carley and todd. president biden holding an emergency meeting last night on the new covid omicron variant as two cases are confirmed in canada. the health team says they need another two weeks to gather data on the variant. a u.s. travel ban on eight african nations that's. takes effecttoday. nearly a dozen countries confirming cases of omicron and experts say the travel ban won't stop the variant from reaching the u.s. >> it's almost definitely here already, looking at the number of cases coming off planes this weekend. it's almost a certainty that cases have gotten into the united states. >> reporter: health officials say there's no reason to fear the vaccines would be ineffective against omicron. >> in all the previous examples of variants, the vacation seens have worked to -- vaccines have worked to provide protection. we expect most likely the current vaccines will be sufficient to provide protection. >> reporter: the threat of a new variant has americans bracing for more economic damage and new lockdown as dr. anthony fauci slams critics of the government's covid response as anti-science. >> if they get up and criticize science, nobody's going to know what they're talking about. but if they get up and really aim their bullets at tony fauci, well, people could recognize there's a person there, so it's easy to criticize. but they're really criticizing science because i represent science. >> reporter: kentucky senator rand paul slamming fauci's claim in a tweet, saying the hubriso someone retch senting science is alarming -- representing science is alarming that a public bureaucrat would claim such a thing, especially someone that ignores the science of natural immunity. todd, carley. carley: marianne rafferty live for us in los angeles. thank you. all eyes on the senate as the chamber gets set to address the tax and spending he spree. todd: as congress runs out of time to avoid a shutdown with a friday deadline to raise the debt ceiling. alexandria huff joins us with more. >> reporter: ideally senate democrats would like to see the bill wrapped up by christmas, likely changes will be made before being sent back to the house for review. here's minnesota senator amy klobuchar. >> are you confident it will get done before christmas? >> i am. if the republicans want to scrooge out on us and intrees people's interest rates and make it hard to make people's car payments, go ahead make that case. we're going to stop them from doing that. >> reporter: democrats must focus on their own party, negotiations have to satisfy democratic moderates who pushed back on the expense of climate, immigration and paid leave provisions. >> one of the reasons that inflation is going to get significantly worse is because of the greater spending we have through build back better. but thank got for senator manchin and senator sinema at this point, they may be the only -- the last line of defense on this thing. >> reporter: the spending plan relies on unanimous support from democrats, no republicans are on board with the price tag. let's break down some of what the plan includes. 450 million would head to job training for climate change careers, 150 million goes towards species protection, $150 billion in housing grants which would be available to felons, expands early medicare and eligibility to the incarcerated and makes felons and illegal immigrants eligible for up to $45,000 a year in government benefits. >> for joe biden to say we have to spend even more money on top of inflation, to me this is alice in wonderland logic. he's the mad hatter out here. there's not a singer republican that will -- single republican that will vote for the bill or to raise the debt ceiling. this is on the democrats. >> reporter: democrats must also address the debt ceiling again this week after pushing it back in october. the deadline is this friday. carley, todd. carley: that ceiling, government funding, bbb. lot of money talk on capitol hill. todd: nancy mace says the massive government spending will continue until republicans take the wheel. >> i believe until republicans are in the majority in 2022 and i believe that will happen, it will be significant, we will win at least two dozen seats or more. it will be incumbent upon us to try to he reverse some of the policies that will be created in this and that will be difficult to do if it goes through but thank god for senator manchin and senator sinema at this point, they may be the last line of defense on this thing and we've got to give them the support and continue to show why this spending is so bad. todd: republicans need a net gain of five seats in the house to take back the majority. carley: iran nuclear talks are set to he resume today after a six month long hiatus. the u.s. delegation isn't even allowed in the room. todd: greg palkot live for us in london with the latest. greg, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, todd, carley. negotiations reviving the stalled iran nuclear talks are resuming but there is little sign of success. officials are meeting about the pact that tries to rein in iran's nuclear prowess. former president trump didn't like the deal and pulled out of it in 2018. there had been talks earlier this year about the arrangement. they were broken off in june when iran held new elections and brought in an even more hard line government with tougher demands. iran wants all u.s. and international sanctions dropped before they even start to talk about their nukes. that is a nonstarter a according to experts. >> it's not going to happen. the iranians know that and we should know that as well many they're just going to keep talking, keep pushing it a little bit and we're going to find within about a year there's a breakout and there's nothing we can do about it. now you've got a destabilized middle east with nuclear weapons. that's what president trump was so concerned about. >> reporter: even brett mcgerk had said recently, we are still hopeful that diplomacy can find a way but if it cannot find a way we are prepared to use other objections. there is no question, we are not going to allow iran to get a nuclear weapon, period. it looks like iran regional neighbor israel is not going to wait either, with iran ramping up its nuclear capability and getting closer to that breakout point, that's when they can build a bomb, israel has openly said it will take its own measures to stop day p ran. and guys, -- tehran. and even the nuclear watchdog agency is not happy. they've been roughed up or blocked from their inspections of the nuclear infrastructure of iran. very dangerous times. todd, carley. carley: to say the least. greg palkot live for us in london. thank you. todd: a new book claims 0000 took $10 million a year and $80,000 diamond from a chinese energy term to make, quote, introductions. the new book puts hunter in the hot seat, exposing hundreds of messages from his e-mail. it alleges that hunter biden introduced the firm's chairman to his father who was vice president at the time, happening at a 2015 holiday party and joe concha will join us next hour with more on the widen family controversy. carley: here's what she writes in the book and the new york post. she said the biden family entered their services to a chinese energy consortium to expand their business around the world. we know this because of hundreds of e-mails documenting the deal find of hunter biden's laptop left in a delaware repair shop china through its belt and road initiative wants to become the world's dominant number one super power, squeezing the u.s. out of the top spot. think of how they reacted to the afghanistan pullout. they said they wanted to go in and talk to the taliban to gain afghanistan's rare earth minerals. here you have the president's son who is helping china in that mission. todd: and yet there's no intellectual curiosity on the part of literally the entire mainstream media on this. we'll go into the numbers. i'm going to give you a preview. it's zero, nobody in the mainstream media seems to care about this. if this were an attack on our country, i think people would care. you have to keep in mind, china is not our friend, not just our adversary, they are our main enemy right now because of what they can do with everything you just mentioned and the lack of intellectual curiosity on the part of the mainstream media is flumoxing. carley: when does this go from hunter biden to the president also in this new york post reporting, one of his former associates, one of hunter's former associates spoke on condition on anonymity and believe that hunter brought the chairman of this energy consortium to meet president biden, he wasn't president at the time, at one of his holiday parties and then you have tony bobulinski who was one of hunter biden's former business associates, and he became so disgusted by president biden saying on the campaign trail that he had no knowledge of hunter's business dealings, that he did an interview with tucker carlson and he said he had a conversation with jim biden, the president's son -- brother and said if the president decides to run for office again, how are you going to be able to do this because you have all these deals with china. it's going to make the president look really bad. and then jim biden said you know what, deny it and don't put his name in writing. todd: the story want just ignored, it was blocked by social media so the mass of america couldn't find out about it. carley: we'll talk to joe concha about it a little bit more about why this matters. several arizona state organizations, arizona state student organizations demand kyle rittenhouse get kicked out of the university. rittenhouse is taking online courses at the school but students for socialism say others, quote, don't feel safe, knowing he is enrolled at the university. several student organizations are planning to gather at an on on- campus protest this week. they say even with a not guilty verdict, he is still guilty to the family and the family of the victims, they are joining to ask the demands be met to protect them from a violent, blood thirsty murderer. todd: where have we come in america that kids think can ignore the deeply entrenched justice system and a jury of his peers found him not guilty and say no, we have to get him out, he can't be in college, he can't become a nurse to help people in the future. carley: you bring up a good point about the age of these people who are he demanding this. it always happens like this. it's like do you see of these massive companies and presidents of universities get bullied around by kids. i just hope the heads of asu say listen, you 18-year-old socialists, this person was vindicated, he was found not guilty in a court of law so you could take your feelings elsewhere. todd: it goes to the broader picture, sticking on the kids notion for a moment, that -- look at aoc. she is the kid of congress and she thinks that their socialist position is what the nation must follow, ignoring the fact that literally the majority of americans, whether liberal or conservative, you are not socialist and these people -- the aoc socialist club, this guy's got to be gone, you're in charge. no you're not. you're not in charge. you make a very small percentage. carley: they want to reaffirm support for the multicultural center on campus as a safe space for white supremacy, they also want to he defund the police, they want to move funding to a multicultural center until god forbid something bad happens, you've got to have police on campus. todd: nfl action now, lamar jackson, the baltimore ravens found a way to beat the cleveland browns. that's one of the picks, we're not showing the rest. this guy, he wasn't off, the bucs running back leonard fornet goes for a 28-yard touchdown, tampa outlasting the colts in indy. carley: the patriots roll to the sixth straight win, beating the tennessee titans, 36-13. aaron rodgers outdoes matt stafford. todd: daniel jones and my new york giants. carley: he owns the team, did you know that. todd: they take down the philadelphia eagles, 13-7. i did comment to the person that used to sit in that very chair about the game and we talked about real estate and not about the game that shows how vicious we took it to the core. carley: still very good friends. critics are calling president biden's omicron travel ban worse than usual, new york councilman joe barelli tell us why, next. todd: and carry sevarino, joe concha and claudia tenney all live over the next few hours coming up next. don't go anya where. clerk: hello, how can i? sore throat pain? ♪honey lemon♪ try vicks vapocool drops. in honey lemon chill. for fast-acting sore throat relief. wooo vaporize sore throat pain with vicks vapocool drops. carley: a new york city official who has strongly supported slashing police budgets is slammed for living in a highly secure army base in brooklyn. the public advocate lives in civilian housing where he benefits from free around the clock security, residents say his address is hypocritical and the call to defund the nypd poses a serious risk to the safety of the city. he is running for governor of new york. todd: who knew you could do that. carley: i didn't know. todd: travel restrictions from african countries taking effect today in an effort to stop the spread of the new covid-19 omicron variant. gop lawmakers calling it imbruesless. useless. carley: joe borelli, the travel ban goes into effect today. why wait? >> two things cannot be true, this is such a deadly variant that we know of that we have to take crushing steps of banning travel from several countries, it will be more countries because omicron was discovered in a bunch of european countries right now so that can't be true if we're also saying that this doesn't take effect until monday, to sort of get the last round of people from those countries into our country. i wish some of the media hype men that get to interview anthony fauci when ever they can would stop to ask pressing questions like specifically what countries instituted travel bans that saw no spike from the del the take vair yantd or any other variant in the past, the answer is there are none because they don't work. todd: there's the underlying hypocrisy comparing administrations. here's a tweet, when president trump took bold action to impose travel restrictions into the united states from coronavirus hot spots, joe biden attacked him calling this decision a disgrace, and that's a question, why is it okay for biden to put in a travel ban but when trump does it it's xenophobic. >> when trump suggested a china travel ban there was a great deal of unknown about the coronavirus. there was no treatment, there was no vaccine, there's was no effective way to remediate some of the symptoms. now we're almost two years in advance and we have all those things. the democrats are you now doing what they call donald trump racist, homophobic and xenophobic for, despite we the fact we have a host of treatments and a large percentage of the population are fully vaccinated. carley: dr. fauci is facing criticism for an interview he did yesterday, saying that he represents science. watch this. >> travel bans when you have a highly transmissible virus never completely would get the virus -- prevent it from coming into the country. no ways that's going to happen. what you can do is you can delay it enough to get us better prepared. .criticize science, nobody is going to know what they're talking about. if they get up and really aim their bullets at tony fauci, well, people can recognize there's a person there, so it's easy to criticize. but they're really criticizing science because i represent science. carley: he represents science he says. but the thing is that there are many different opinions in science and medicine and critics pointed out that his opinion differs very much from others when it comes to natural immunity and whether or not we funded gain of function research, joe. >> first of all, anyone who refers to themselves in the third person is a bit odd to me. you're right, carley. this is someone who he deof serves to be questioned, this is -- deserves to be questioned, this is someone who most likely lied to congress when he was under oath testifying about a serious pandemic. the notion that he represents the science, the notion that he is unquestionable goes against almost everything we stand for in the united states. we're supposed to criticize our government, we're supposed to question their intentions, motives and outcomes and that's what in this case i think senator cruz was doing and that's what i think a lot of the public should start doing. todd: joe represents staten island. carley: he actually does. todd: quickly, kathy hochul represents the state of new york. she is doing this no he'll -- no elective procedure ban in public health. >> it's knee jerk reaction. governor cuomo did this when we saw hospitalization rates of 230 people a day. we're at about 30 people a day right now. this is her stamping her feet, trying to make her look like she's taking action. it's more knee jerk reactions at this point. carley: to already postpone elective hospital surgeries in anticipation of a virus that we know very little about is a bridge too far some might say, joe borelli, thank you for joining us this morning. we so appreciate it. todd: we represent tv. carley: not all of tv, just the 4:00 to 6:00 hour on one channel. it's 24 minutes after the hour. the country is facing inflation and a supply chain crisis and here is how senator amy clop clockchar wants -- klobuchar was fix it. >> we have to bring down agree house gases and we have -- greenhouse gases and we have to do something about climate change. todd: a fourth generation farmer who fled california to avoid strict regulations warns that looming federal restrictions could end family farms. he joins us next. ♪ here's to the farmer's wives. with them every night. ♪ todd: senator amy klobuchar claiming she has the solution to fixing supply chain issues and the inflation crisis. listen. >> we've got an increased demand, shortage of supply. the petroleum reserve was a temporary measure. in the long term, we've got to bring down greenhouse gases and get the investment done to do something finally about climate change. todd: that's it. there's the answer. let's close it up. we're good. the build back better bill would spend over $600 million on climate change initiatives. the house passing a version of the package right before thanksgiving but the bill facing an uphill climb in the senate. carley: absolutely. in the meantime, the nash family has been in the dairy farming business for 92 years but that soon may come to an end you amid climate change related regulations and economic hardships. stephanie nash is here. you say the dairy industry is under attack. tell us how so and what sort of challenges your family farm is facing. >> well, you look at the numbers since 2003, over 45,000 dairy farms have gone out of business and coming from california uc davis studies, environmental scientists, agriculture lovers, it's the largest agriculture location in the united states, only 5% is going to emissions. you look at cow-spiracy, they push 51% on people when they think agriculture is the problem, we're not getting deep down into transportation, electricity, housing development, taking up land to be sustainable. carley: i thought the numbers were stunning. we have them right here. the number of dairy operations in the u.s. declining, in 2003 there were over 70,000 dairy farms, now there's less than 32,000. are you worried that your family farm is going to shut down? it's been in operation for almost 100 years. >> i'm really worried about regulations. i'm worried about estate tax. i'm worried about fake numbers getting out to people sitting at home, making decisions when they go to the grocery store. they don't know where their food comes from he anymore. as a farmer, as ranchers out there we are asking people to get educated and ask the farmer. i'm really worried about the climate change going through politicians, going back into government spending and not actually going to sustainability and keeping family farms in business. carley: we were talking about the build back better bill, there's a lot of money in it regarding climate change. how would that specifically affect your family farm? >> you know, moving from california to tennessee, we feel a little bit more comfortable but when they talk about trying to tell us how to farm when people like my dad have been doing it for over 50 years and they come into a our property and tell us what we can sell and what we can do, that's where we're going to get a little bit tricky. you know, when they're not increasing prices for milk but they're increasing prices for the grocery store, farmers are not get anything in return feed prices increasing. we have a supply chain issue. we can't get parks during harvest -- parts during harvest if machinery breaks down. there's lost profitability for the farms. .carley: marsha blackburn and bill haggerty, they may be listening right now. what would you like to see out of washington that would make things easier for you. >> i want farmers in a position to where we can actually give advice. if i could get one farmer from every state telling people in washington, d.c. what is happening, i really do believe that we can make an impact and we don't have a platform that does that. bring farmers to washington, d.c., discuss what we need, and then go from there to save our family farms across america and sustain for the world. carley: i think that sounds like such a good idea, stephanie nash, for using your voice now. i was watching a foxnews.com video, you are a beautiful singer. i was impressed by your singing voice as well. hopefully you can go to washington and speak about this issue because the farms are some of the most important things we have, they're our food source. thank you for your hard work and for joining us this morning. >> thank you. todd: and for your singing. democrats weighing in on who they would put at the top of their ticket if joe biden decides not to run for president in 2024. we'll tell you who is making the cut and what it

seven children are still recovering in the hospital. six people died in the attack. more than 60 were injured. senator lindsey graham says the left will be held accountable for their soft on crime policies. >> the chickens are coming home to roost when it comes to crime and the radical left. it is fashionable in blue states and liberal districts to be soft on crime. it's not fashionable among the average american to go on and on. we need to vote. 2022 will be a dangerous year for america if something doesn't change. the democratic party is giving us an issue where the american people on

super pac set to hold its largest fundraiser to debt. democrats choosing kamala harris and michelle obama as top presidential picks if president biden decides not to run for business in 2024. republican strategist chris prudhoeme joins us now. the fundraiser, some of the big heavy hitters will be there. read tea leaves for us. >> i can tell you one thing, it's going to be obviously a star-studded event so-to-speak. president trump is certainly i think gearing up for a run once again. but i think here's what the most important thing is, in a recent poll that has been taken, he's actually ahead of biden in five key battleground states. that's phenomenal thing, almost unprecedented. they have $100 million of cash on hand in one of the top three fund raising arms. they beefed up his staff, long time aide has joined the team to help the political coalition, you have ric grenell, i worked with him quite a bit during the campaign. i think he brings a certain zeal and excitement to the campaign obviously on his side joining the board of directors. so they certainly are in a top position and when you look at the positivity of the numbers increasing from a poll standpoint in states such as georgia, arizona, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, he's ahead of biden. these are all phenomenal factors right now. todd: would trump be doing all of this aggressively fund raising, setting up all these teams, if it was just to try to help republicans get across the finish line if 2022? it seems to me he wouldn't be doing this if he weren't going to be running in 2024. >> todd, i certainly aagree with you. i believe you're absolutely right. when you have someone like former ag of florida, pam bondi, who has been a strong add he vo get of former -- advocate of former president trump, i think he's going to do it. i don't think he would do all of this, text messaging, e-mails, campaign style events if this was not the case. he's obviously in recent months as you know has been very strongly advocating certain things and talking about issues right now that biden is making major mistakes on. so i think he is certainly going to do it. but i will say this, i think the midterms are very, very important. i think it's essential for us to obviously win the house and senate. i think that's going to be a key factor in him running. todd: last week, the white house saying joe biden will run in 2024. but what if he doesn't? here's what democrats say they want to see happen, if joe biden decides not to run. their preferred candidate, 26% of them say kamala harris and a look at that, 15% saying michelle obama, a lot of talk about pete buttigieg, coming in at 5%. first to kamala at 26%. why? why do those 26% want kamala? >> well, first thing i'll say is this. it's going to be a tough road for her. kamala harris is not well-liked in many respects of the party. i talked to many folks myself who just don't like her at all. obviously, she's not a bible candidate, low in the polls right now, one of the lowest in decades. her support is not there. she has broken promises. she advocated so many things for the minority community when she was running for office and that has not came through at all. and look, i'll say this. michelle obama certainly does not like politics. that's been obviously displayed. she has talked about it on numerous occasions. she is not running for president. look, kamala harris essentially from what they believe is their only hope and if that's the best they can come up with, it's going to be tough. she is not going to make it across the finish line, especially like a candidate like president trump. that's not going to happen. todd: what does it say, somebody with such a low approval rating, along with two you avowed socialists in bernie sanders and aoc, this is what the democrats have to offer. i mean, what does that say to you that these folks are all getting the traction in this democratic party? >> you know, todd, it says they don't have a bench. that's exactly what it says. in addition to the strongest candidate right now, they have major, major problems. here's the reality. this is the most -- in their eyes, the most viable person they -- they think can run for president of the united states. she is not going to woo women or minorities. look at her track record of putting many minorities locked away. she doesn't speak for the policies they're doing now. look at her background, obviously with things like medical marijuana. now she is supporting what that. but then she locked up a lot of folks. this is their strongest candidate, it's not going to make the case. she is going to have to increase her engagement of minorities and women but people just don't like her. she is certainly not a viable candidate for young people which they need if they plan to come close to 2024. todd: we appreciate your time and insight as always. thank you, sir. carley: the time is now 46 minutes after the hour. the world's top oil producers are reportedly considering pausing planned effort to ramp up production after president biden ordered a record-setting 50 million barrels of oil from the strategic reserve. the

opec will meet to review the deal they put together earlier this year to boost output, in july they executed a plan to put 400,000 barrels a day into -- back into the global markets, about 12 million barrels a month and that has added 50 billion barrels market since july. you can see why the countries that are producing are going to react to n a announcement coming out of the administration and its allies of reducing crude from other country's reserves. they're going to sit back and they want to see how that's going to impact demand and if so, they're going to probably consider a pause on increasing that production through the rest of that agreement. if they decide to hit pause, then future prices are probably going to be impacted, they could go up more. we assume demand could increase if the recovery continues. given the fact that the cartel has such a huge portion of global supply, this is a battle the biden administration won't win right now. carley: if the countries don't increase oil supply in response to what president biden did, releaseing the 50 million barrels, it goes against what the president wanted to have happen and this could ultimately increase gas prices, am i understanding that correctly? >> you're exactly right. last tuesday the president ordered the release of 50 million barrels from the strategic oil reserve. if i could put that in perspective, as he did that, he assured americans this will have a positive impact at the pump. the result is that six hours after the announcement prices went up. it took a covid variant announcement on friday to have a greater impact on the markets. 50 million barrels sounds like a big number. the reality is, it's one half of one day's global energy consumption, two and-a-half days of u.s. consumption. that's monday at 4:54 a.m., to wednesday at 4:54 p.m., that's all it would impact. the number sounds like a big number but it isn't considering the global market. carley: another thing i wanted to ask you about, the interior department asked the biden administration to increase the cost of drilling on federal lands. do you think the biden administration, president biden is going to go you through with that and what would that do to gas prices? >> well, yes, they're going to go through with that. this has been the plan all along. the reality is, what will happen is it will make domestic production even more constrained, it will move it completely off federal lands. again, it's a counterintuitive move. what this does is essentially devalues the federal asset of oil and gas on federal land. it makes it so hard for companies to produce off of federal lands that they'll move of elsewhere, either with the texas, oklahoma or somewhere else. carley: well, tim -- >> it doesn't have to be this way. carley: you're right. it doesn't have to be this way. it's getting colder and people are concerned about the cost to heat their home. it could go down if the biden administration wanted it to. tim stewart, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you very much. todd: coming up in the next hour, we're learning new details about big money payments from the chai tease to hunter biden. -- chinese to hunter biden. joe concha here to break it down. carley: plus carrie severino, claudia tenney on deck this monday morning. ♪ >> we do know that this is a variant that has a lot of mutations, like 50 of them. that is a new record. if omicron is one more wake-up call, then let's wake up. carley: we begin with a fox news alert. we are awaiting remarks from president biden this morning on his administration's response to the new omicron variant. todd: it all comes as travel restrictions for non-u.s.
