brian: rick, how would you describe what happened yesterday? more recovery mode? was it clean-up mode? what was going on. >> yeah. i will tell you what, the clean-up starts to happen really rapidly at this point. you get the roads cleared. you get all of the resources that come from neighboring communities, neighboring states. so the initial day when you are here, you have got just the roads cleared. now, bulldozers have come in. they have pushed up back off the sidewalks creating a wider berth for the bigger trucks that need to be in here to start to get power restored. to check all the gas. all of those things. they are making some really big progress that said you are just at this point pushing the debris back into bigger piles that they will start to come out and remove and clean up all that debris. that process hasn't happened yet. we are just getting bigger and bigger piles of that debris pushed off of the roads. steve: you were talking how trucks were throw restore power. there are power company trucks from all across the country that are there that region right now. and something else, there are penal who live throughout the eastern third of the united states who saw the news and filled up their trucks with plywood, or food or water or clothes, and they drove it to kentucky. and now a massive effort is underway there with churches and local comunts community centers trying to figure out how to get the stuff to the people who need it. rick: it's so true. you know, people are so generous and want to help. i think we as humans you see a disaster and you think i need to do something. so many people do. that said, once all of those supplies get here. sometimes it canning overwhelming to a town then they have to figure out how to do it. a fairground about four miles from here. that's where the staging area has been so far. we will be there later on this morning to show our viewers that process of what is happening now, getting water, food and clothes to people who need it. keep in mind, most people lost everything they have including a vehicle which would be your normal way to used to get out of down, many people don't have a car, don't have any belongings at all. just the clothes that they were wearing. there is a lot of that effort coming and we are going to go see some of that. steve: did i see an appeal from somebody in that region who said do you know what we really need right now? we need tools. everything is gone and we have got take things apart. ainsley: thank you so much, rick. walmart donated water and supplies. one of the sad stories rick mentioned some of the children killed in this. in kentucky the governor was talking about the five children that were killed in addition to that we just learned a 2-month-old also died. her parents strapped her in her car seat, took her into the bathroom, they all hunk erred down. steve: threw the brothers in the bathtub. >> ainsley: there was so much force that it ripped that family out of the bathroom and threw them into the neighbor's house. and that little girl eventually had a stroke and did not survive. steve: it's just heart breaking. i was reading in bowling, 11 of the 15 people killed bowling greene 11 of them were from two families that lived on one street and seven of them were kids. ainsley: we know the governor of kentucky he lost loved ones as well. brian: right. i mean, kentucky got hit the hardest but wasn't the only one 81 confirmed deaths right now. really delicate. when you are going in and want to start rebuilding and taking stock is there. who is missing? who got out in time? who just hasn't reported and then you want to make sure that if there is someone to be rescued that we are still in that window. steve: 109 people remaining unaccounted for in kentucky which you are looking at right there. one of the factory survivors from the candle factory a woman by the name of autumn kirks she was working 10 feet -- what a story we are reading about it this morning. she was working 10 feet from her boyfriend. they heard the noise and she looks over and he was gone. he had been sucked out of the location where they were. and she was suddenly under a concrete wall. she thought this is the end. then somebody, she doesn't know who, lifted the wall and pulled her out. and she has referred to this as her superman. >> she doesn't know who it is. but she says i wish i did so i could thank him because he got us all to safety. ainsley: eventually we learned that 8 people were killed at the candle factory including autumn kirk's boyfriend his name was alan miss ward. we are also getting reports there were four people that worked at the candle factory that say the supervisors told them because it's the christmas season they are trying to crank out these candles that four people said we want to leave. we want to go home. we don't feel safe. the supervisor said if you leave, you will be fired. so, 15 of them asked to leave allegedly and they decided to stay so they could keep their jobs and ultimately 8 people were killed. brian: you wonder that decision when you hear about the amazon building and you tell everyone keep working stay here. you think maybe to a degree you are keeping them safer. ainsley: in a building he better than walking outside. brian: how thick the wall was evidently build on a elevated setting and that's where they were vulnerable. steve: the news today osha has opened a probe into that amazon warehouse collapse where six people were killed. one injured and 45 got out alive. ainsley: state federal volunteer organizations are all working together they are clearing the debris. sending in generators, 30,000 meals, 90,000 bottles of water. 4500 blankets. 100 cots and critical commodities. national guard 300 personnel on duty. they are actually going house to house checking on survivors and removing debris. there are tens of thousands still without power. brian: the president is going to fort campbell today. daniel cameron the kentucky attorney general you have seen him before is he coming up in about 19 minutes right here on "fox & friends." ainsley: the president is going tomorrow. brian: mounting mandates, the two new cities joining new york city and bringing back mask requirements. ainsley: plus, 11 days away from christmas. rachel campos-duffy having breakfast with friends christmas town u.s.a. rachel?

>> well, we have had a range of conversations, peter. i think as reflected in our read out we put out last week with our national security adviser, with the vice president's national security adviser. we will continue that high level of engagement. brian: can you never say that the president is really serious about what's going on with the coronavirus when you let over 2.4 million people get through a border illegally unvaccinated and every time he has a chance to control the border and maybe who comes into our country illegally or just wants amnesty, he tries to push back and have the courts rein him in. the remain in mexico implemented terribly very little consultation with mexico. the courts say what did i tell you the last time taint i'm seeing more and more antidotal stories about teachers on long island and i'm sure in florida where governor desantis has already taken action. all of a sudden they come into class there are six other students sitting there who don't speak english. there is no room in the class anyway. all in lower working class or lower middle class districts. not the upper class. the wealthy, that might be able to absorb this. and they put them to english as second language classes. if the teachers complain, they are moved to another school. do you believe this? ainsley: they meaning the teachers are moved? brian: the teachers are moved if you keep complaining. steve: that's crazy. parents need to show up at school board meetings out there. we heard from jen psaki though. a new phrase that i have heard a number of times over the last week or two and that is they are a range, having a range of conversations, when peter asks about talking to the president of guatemala well, there is a range of conversations happening. what that means, that's white house speak for there are a range of other people other than the vice president who are talking. brian, you mentioned governor desantis, he has asked the legislature for $8 million so that they can transport people who have been sent to florida on what has been referred to as air biden. brian: many into jacksonville. steve: indeed to send them some place else. the governor said the other day at a press conference. he said if these migrants wind up going to delaware or to martha's vineyard, this border problem would be solved immediately. ainsley: right. then they would pay attention, right? he signed an executive order asking the state law enforcement to collect all the information they could about the illegal immigrants that are living in the state of florida because he wants to know who is there so that that he can transport them out of the state. steve: bruit by the fed. brian: here is ron desantis. >> we want to be able to facilitate transfer to places like delaware and so we have $8 million in my new budget to be able to do it. but we also look to the carriers that the federal government is contracting with and we are going to pass legislation that says if you are facilitating biden's policies, which is effectively a mass human smuggling operation, you are not going to be eligible to do business with the state of florida or other local governments. we're going to charge you restitution for each individual that you are bringing because, yes, there are drugs and crimes and also things with healthcare costs, education, all these services that get packed because of biden's reckless policies. we have a responsibility to fight back and that's what we're doing. steve: it will be interesting to see what happens. who shows up at the airport in delaware when ron desantis' plane full of migrants shows up one day soon. ainsley: we will have to see. they are not being transparent about where they are sending all these individuals. steve: they are doing in the middle of the night. ainsley: exactly. steve: less traffic. ainsley: they don't want you to know about it. steve: it is 6:24 here in the east. and, brian, you have got a guest. brian: yeah, who can really identify with these kids being legal immigrants being dumped into these schools. a teenage girl is dead. and a mother of three is fighting for her life this morning after allegedly drunk driver crashed into their car on long island, new york. meanwhile, police say merriam seltzer who is on the right picked up her daughter and three friends from a camp reunion saturday night when the crash happened. 50-year-old lee elle was killed and merriam in critical condition. sources tell fox news the suspect a migrant who overstayed his visa by five years. joining us right now with reaction nassau county executive elect bruce blakeman. bruce, what were your thoughts because you ran on this? what were your thoughts when you heard about what happened saturday night? >> well, this was one of the problems that we have in local government. the federal government has policies that are hurting our local communities because they just dump people into our communities, don't tell us, and it's a tax on our systems, on our education systems there is no enforcement of immigration. when you have someone who has been in this country has overstayed their visa and they are essentially living here illegally, and they are committing crimes, that's a problem. it's tough on our law enforcement, and it creates problems for government to properly plan to absorb these people. so, it's a whole big mess because of no control over the borders. dumping people in communities. and our immigration policy is not sending people back to their countries that are here illegally. brian: what do you say to that family, a car accident is tragic. it's random. but then when you hear somebody has overstayed their vice is a five years here illegally. it was not only horrible it was avoidable. >> it's a real tragedy when you have a 15-year-old girl who is killed in an automobile accident she was out with her friends that night. a mother was picking her up to take her home and then you have someone who is driving under the influence allegedly, and they are not someone who belongs in this country that they should have gone back to their country, it's a real tragedy. and you can't explain it to the families. because they don't understand why our government, our federal government is not enforcing all laws. brian: other big story is the governor here decides that the numbers are ticking up in new york state. trying to maybe prove herself as tough, replacing governor cuomo and trying to outit the statewide mandate. you are go to take over nassau county. there is already nine counties pushing back saying they won't enforce this how do you feel about it? we have a county about 1.5 million people. and 97% of our adults are vaccinated. we have plenty of capacity in our hospitals. we have plenty of capacity in our icu units. we are not in crisis. now, in buffalo, i understand there has been a spike in hospital admissions. but buffalo is 300 miles from long island. it's closer to cleveland than it is to long island. so for our governor here in new york. to say that we must have mask mandates here on long island, i have chosen that i am not going to enforce that. we have healthcare concerns but we are not in crisis in nassau county. and the fact of the matter is i have had business people and homeowners who are very upset about this mandate because it doesn't make any sense. we're in a situation here where luckily with our health department and healthcare professionals, we have the virus under control right now. we are monitoring it every single day. and if things change. i will changes my policy. but, right now when i take office on january 1st. i'm going to instruct our law enforcement personnel and our healthcare investigators to not en40s mask mandate. brian: you have better things to do with your time. shouldn't be raiding gyms and restaurants trying to find mr. and mrs. johnson not wearing or wearing a mask. we got the facts already. we should be able to live our own lives. it's incredible the stress. because factor that in the fact that a lot of these gyms now all of a sudden they want -- some people want other people to wear a mask. other people say i will not go there if i have to wear a of course that. the businessmen and women are the big loser in the christmas season. no one ever thinks things out. meanwhile on our original story a go fund me page has been set up for the crash victims go so go foxandfriends.com to donate. nassau county executive elect bruce blakeman, congratulations on the win and thanks for joining me. >> thank you so much. brian: all right. meanwhile still ahead reports ever looters taking advantage of the families lost everything in the catastrophic tornadoes. kentucky a.g. dabble cammeron react to that and break down the efforts to block price gougers from all preying on victims. ked. the experts at safelite autoglass came right to me... with service i could trust. right, girl?

how has the supply chain affecting your business? >> the back orders on product coming in is just ridiculous. we have probably over 100 sales slips waiting on products to come in and we are being told the stuff is out on the ships. can't get it off the docks. can't get it in the trucks to the warehouses and to the stores. it's a big mess out here right now. >> logistics is a major, major problem for a whole lot of retailers right now. rachel: you started coming to grits and greens during the pandemic. you made an effort to try to hit different businesses that were getting hit hard by the pandemic, correct? >> that is correct. we knew people were out there struggling in so many different areas, and it made us at least once a week we're going to find us a mom and pop place and we are going to support our community. rachel: dave, you told me you come specifically for the grits. >> the grits are excellent here. grits and greens but for me it's grits. the best this side of charleston. rachel: sounds like you are after ainsley's heart. i will move over to dean. dean, you work at a car dealership. >> true. >> tell me how this economy is affecting your business. >> well, we normally would get 15, 16, 17 cars about every 15 days. now we are getting like three cars a month, which is ridiculous. use -- prices of used cars gone up 25%. we can't get parts for the cars. can't get chips. it's just overall just a mess. rachel: what's your affidavit rice onto this administration on what should they do to help people like you just trying to make a living? >> well, first thing they should do is shut the border down, quit giving all that money down there to illegals. come in america legally like most people. and then from there just make sure we get a fair shake on everything. i think the taxes are going to kill us down the road. and we're all going to be paying more money out of our pocket. rachel: i'm going to change topics really fast. give me a quick answer what's your favorite thing on the menu. >> favorite thing on the menu mist miss duffy. rachel: i'm not on the menu but i will be back. brian: that was a surprising answer. ainsley: wasn't expecting that. steve: i was expecting the southern benedict. who knew? brian: toast might have been a good option. steve: all right, thank you, rachel, grits and greens as she grins. brian: okay. ainsley: that guy says he is only getting three cars at a dealership per month. brian: lucky to get the three. range of reasons for the crime spike. what they are saying still ahead. superpowers from a spider bite?

truss at oven and tap restaurant ryan brant and her attorney bill horton, good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning, steve, thanks for having us. >> you bet. ryan, this great big group of 40 people. they decided we are all going to chip in 100 bucks. 4400 bucks split between the two waitresses, all right. that's what it looked like. you were overwhelmed. then what happened? >> yeah, definitely overwhelmed. blindsided with happiness and joy and and disbelief honestly that it was even happening. steve: then the restaurant asked you, they said that big tip, you have to split it with everybody, right? >> yeah. i was told by shift manager right after the filming of the announcement and then the table was done with their dinner, exiting the restaurant, that anything over 20% would be taken by the restaurant to be divvied out. steve: i understand you contacted directly the person who had given you the tip and you said thank you very much. and then they found out that you were supposed to split it at the restaurant for the money back and they gave it to you directly. bill, why are you here today? >> well, i think it's all over the internet right now. instead of just apologizing and saying we made a mistake they decided to double down and hire an attorney sending this lady a very threatening letter trying to silence her. we are trying to make sure her truth gets out. steve: they say she was not fired over the tip. so why were you fired? >> >> i personally believe because i told the whitley group that i wasn't going to be keeping the tip. steve: i gotcha. so you feel like it was over by telling them how you had to split the tip and that's what got you in trouble. the good news is you got a brand new job which i understand you don't have to. ryan and

somebody there and they say okay, people are talking about we're picking up the pieces. but how do you start over when you start with that. rick: when every piece needs to be picked up. that's what makes it so hearted. hit a house or two or a black you can kind of get your brain around that. but when you have an entire town where the business district of the town is gone, you know, what do you do? derek come on over here. i wanted to talk to you today first off you are on the city council you have information on the town. standing in front of what was the waters tower. the oldest most prominent water tower in town that you can see behind us here down on the ground. there is water all over the place, obviously. you say this wasn't even here. >> no, it was down the road like we have a bus over here as well that was down the road. i'm just now seeing the bus and i have been all around town and i'm just now noticing it being right here. rick: first off, tell me that night about the storm, where were you? what was your experience? >> i was listening to the news heard it was coming. we heard that a lot never expected this to happen. this we took cover. and then shortly, you know, news we heard it pass and then i started getting phone calls. never knew it would do as much damage as it had. never imagined it. rick: obviously a town about 10,000 people and a lot of fatalities in this town. you have people who know. >> i do, i do. i do. i got some family members and friends. i heard a lot of communities around us think are in my prayers as well. rick: one thing the physical loss of a town. there is the emotional loss. all of that being processed at one time? >> overwhelming. >> we have overwhelming. when i started hearing about what was going on, i immediately started making phone calls. making sure my family was safe started checking on the kids i work with every day at the school district. kids i coach. i started checking. rick: you work at the high school. >> i work with the school district as a whole. rick: gotcha. on the city council. obviously this tornado cut through downtown and destroyed all of those buildings. >> yeah. rick: is there any sense of what you guys do next? have there been any decisions or is that premature to have that conversation? >> well, we haven't i have been at our high school a lot making sure our kids have been taken care of. and make sure we have people that need shelter get shelter. right now that's our priority. rick: from what you know are there people in mayfield unaccounted for. >> i'm hearing they are still looking for bodies. >> personally i don't know anyone that's missing. i have checked in made a lot of comments. when you start cleaning is when you start finding people and i heard they are still looking. rick: tell me about this. you know, there is no power in town. they cut it cut it off all the power lines down. >> dangerous. rick: trying to get power restored. tell me about this. you know, just the water. you need electricity. you need water to be able to sustain life. will there be water back in town. >> yeah. we are starting to get water in certain areas of the town and whatnot. like i said, that's why, you know, i think it's important for people right now the immediate need is people need shelter more my concern how we will rebuild the city. rick: that gives you a sense, guys, the process of where we are, no decisions yet on what to do next. still just trying to get people. >> take care of immediate needs, food, shelter what's important right now. rick: that expresses it. thank you so much. >> thank you. rick: and best of luck to you and your family. >> thank you. rick: guys. steve: rick, we know there are parts of town without electricity, obviously if the water tower is on the ground and traveled a distance from where it has been for decades this a infrastructure project going to take a long time to fix before people have water. >> you said it, get electricity in here pretty quickly. areas of town getting water. but this one right here. obviously gone. you mentioned, it's an infrastructure getting through the town getting power and water. such town of 10,000 people there are towns all along about 200 plus mile path that are dealing with this as well as farms, houses, you know, rural areas that are all completely damaged. it's an infrastructure issue. there are so many farms livestock gone that's going to have impact financially for this region potentially for others around the area far reaching from some of the agricultural impacts as well. ainsley: i know walmart is donating a lot of water. and the federal government donated 90,000 bottles of water to that area. thank you, rick. rick: you bet. steve: that's their skyline. that's the tallest thing in that town. ainsley: beginning when we saw rick on camera we said is that the mayfield signup side down and then rerealized it was the water it tower. steve: unbelievable. brian: usually when things like this happen local businesses rally. things wind out you will have the gap to gift certification to go there and pliers home depot. others start gouging prices. the good news is when they go to investigate it's obvious your price is too high always worry about looters coming in and grabbing your stuff while losses evaluated. the kentucky attorney general joined ainsley earlier. >> i'm telling these bad actors this sort of activity and conduct won't be tolerated in the commonwealth. we have got look out for our people especially when so much devastation has been wrought. it's heart breaking to see so many lives lost and to see homes ruined it is a challenge. god is sovereign and ultimately at the end of the day is he going to help us get through this. i know there are folks praying across this country for us. prayers are obviously very needed and necessary. ainsley: he has set up a website and there is a phone number, 1-800 number if you see anyone that is price gouging. he said if the if the price of milk was this amount of money and increased it then call hotline. number at the bottom of the screen 888-432-9257. steve: while people all across the country look in and how can i help? we have seen this a million times before where suddenly charities pop up people have never heard of. there are all sorts of donation scamsz and things like that looking at one of the local web sites of kentucky better business bureau suggest visiting give.org before contributing or sending a donation just to verify it's something bona fide unless you donate to one of the big organizations nationwide like care, united way, red cross. ainsley: samaritan's purse. steve: who are the bell ringers? ainsley: salvation army. love them. steve: they all are accepting donations on behalf of the people. brian: let's change gears. same theme and it's crime. according to the latest poll that we went over yesterday. 36% of the people approve of the way the president has handle crime in this country, i'm surprised it's even 36%. 43% approve it's terrible. a push to hear there was identification. portland and seattle and chicago all hell is breaking loose and new york. a sense that those governors and those mayors should crack down. and when president trump decided to put the national guard in or federal officers in there, there was huge pushback. now we are seeing formization and an organization around the mass looting in major cities from san francisco to oakland to los angeles. and i just thought it was very telling, too one of these a.g.s saying this is no mob or godfather. district attorney he said it is party night. one of these guys they just show up. they go in there. they smash, they grab, they get the stuff and they make a total profit. they are just having fun right now at the business owner's expense. steve: story broken by the "wall street journal." flash mob come together on social media. organized on snapchat and other social media and messaging services. they are run by people who don't know each other. snap says they are looked into it and there is nothing to it. as you look right there. louis vitton, 40 people involved in that five have been arrested so far. have you seen the images of nordstrom in california 90 people who took part three people arrested. $100,000 worth of stuff in one minute 25 separate cars license plates covered over an organizer gets on social media sites like snap and says hey, as soon as they give the location and the time a bunch of people who do not know each other, other than they have the commonality of being on the same social media site they show up at this location with a sledge hammer or something like that and next thing you know they are gone in a minute and a half. it's infuriating. peter doocy asked jen psaki about prosecutors being soft on crime. >> do you think it's possible that these cities are dealing with these smash and grab robberies right now increase in criminal activity because some prosecutors are too soft on crime? >> i would say we have seen i'm not going to attribute the reason to believing from here. we have seen increase in crime over the course of the pandemic. there are a range of reasons for that what we are focused on is what we can do to address it the president has proposed additional funding in the budget to make sure local police departments and cops have the funding they need. that's what our focus is on currently is action. >> what good is it going to do if you are going to give police departments extra money if they arrest bad guys and they bring them to jail and then they are not prosecuted? >> what our focus is on is making sure that the local leaders have the assistance and funding they need we are working around the clock. steve: unless they lock somebody up, the people can be out doing more. ainsley: what happened with our tree the arsonist. back on the street. brian: homeless guy he should be allowed to be arsonist. larry krasner of philadelphia another embarrassment to this country came out and said no crime problem. liberal formal mayor came out came out and apologized and said it wasn't a good thing to say. alex villanova. he doesn't care. he knows district attorney gascon is endangering the lives of the people that he is supposed to protect. he was on with tucker last night. he is taking on these policies and these criminals. >> if you can't do the job get out of office plain and simple. roughly 12,000 cases in first year in office that he has not prosecuted that we made the arrest. 12,000 times that a crook walked away scot-free. what kind of message is that telling to the criminal community or sending to the criminal community constantly trying to keep the morale of my organization up don't do your job because someone else refuses to do his or her job. absolute failure on all counts. steve: regarding a number of those smash and grabs in san francisco. investigators there saying that they were organized around the time of the kyle rittenhouse verdict because robberrers throughout they would be 25 different cars and grab a bunch of stuff and they did. brian: still doing it called a pig by the district attorney. unbelievable. ainsley: where is clarifies. she is from san francisco. she was so soft on crime there. and she ran on that. she is more progressive than bernie sanders was. steve: i think she is busy on working on the root causes of the migration problem. brian: dealing with child actors want to talk about space that takes a lot of time to memorize those scripts. carley shimkus does not deal with child actors. steve: she does deal with scripts. carley: what else happened in the pandemic, the defund the police movement. why are you invoking the pandemic when it has nothing to do with the situation. steve: she said there were a range of reasons. that's one of them. brian: let me defend jen psaki for a minute -- never mind. carley: stay on the

chain crisis. many grain facilities, hatcheries and farms in kentucky taking a direct hit. let's bring in kentucky department of agriculture commissioner ryan and graves county kentucky farmer keith lowery. keith, for you, what are you experiencing now with your farm? >> >> well, personally i live -- my farm is 10 miles south of mayfield. we had no damage. we had no damage at all. but i do have neighbors that have the chicken industry is very big in the county and they have lost six barnes at one location supply chain on the local level is going to be impacted the way it is. but i had no damage in my operation. >> you are pitching in, right? >> absolutely. i got the word 230 on saturday morning and we loaded up the heavy equipment as some of my neighbor farmers did. got here about daylight on saturday morning and have been here ever since. we don't want to brag on the farming community here in graves county they stepped up. they have been here to help and do whatever needed to be done. brian: it does not surprise me. used to taking things on yourself by nature, by trade. ryan you, in terms of the food supply chain, between hatcheries, the chicken keeps coops.what could you tell us han damaged that worries you the most. >> well, obviously we want to make sure that we keep people fed. that's been a big initiative of our office since saturday morning physical donations down to western ken and really the storm hit everything from the mississippi river to just south of louisville we are meafing schuyler we utilize the lunch program, our food banks, one of which was completely destroyed here in mayfield but on the supply side, there is a hatchery right here in mayfield 200 farmers in the region. we are already hit with supply chain issues increased costs of input, inflation, et cetera. now we are going to have at least six to 8 month delay when it comes to the driving poultry industry in western kentucky. we have a granary right here in mayfield that has 5.5 million bushels of grain sitting on sites. they are not even sure how to unload that grain and get it converted into feed for our livestock industry. and so we have had a tough situation but i'm a farm kid myself. there is one thing we know that keith just talked about. when we get knocked down, we get back up, we will dust off our blue jeans and get back to work. brian: nobody to complain to. can u.s. agriculture department, keith, help out? >> absolutely part-time people like commissioner corls came on we need it had in the weeks and possibly years to come. brian: if you could, ryan, could you tell us what civilians who aren't farmers can do to help being that you are going to have trouble working the land? >> that's right. we started a go fund me page dedicated to relief fund.

let go. they are going to take a mile. they are going to restrict. they are going to mandate. they are going to lock you down. we cannot accept that obviously in florida we do not accept it there is no reason to be restricting or mandating anybody throughout our country. steve: speaking of florida. ben shapiro editor and daily wire moved from l.a. to florida during the pandemic and he joins us, i believe, from florida right now. ben, good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning. steve: so the senate has voted to block joe biden's vaccine mandate for employers. you have been fighting the federal government in court, where are you at this point? >> so, basically we are still unmold with the sixth circuit of appeals, the governor sort of push back against a stay put in by the fifth circuit. put in a brief on that. so everything is sort of in a holding pattern at this point in the court system obviously a national stay put on the vax mandate. we assume that eventually this case is going to reach the supreme court and ask people to sign a petition we put out there called do not comply petition.com. already 850,000 americans have signed the petition saying they do not plan on complying with any vaccine mandate pushed by this administration. steve: you are not anti-vax, have you been vaccinated. your family has been vaccinated. we have all been vaccinated. you are anti-vax mandate. >> correct. there is a massive difference between being anti-vax and anti-vax mandate. try to redefine the term anti-vax. being anti-vax means that you actually think that the

preventing hospitalization and death but not transmission that will hospitalization and death but not preventing people from getting the disease although in lower numbers than people unvaxxed. vax

across the country, big warmup again we're going to break records 35 in chicago, 35 in fargo, 48 in new york, 60 in dallas we'll be in the 80s for parts of texas so you can see that cold era cross the west but the central u.s. above average temperatures, that's going to move across the mississippi valley in towards the east coast, on friday, and some of those records are going to be, again, into the 80s so look at texas 81, you'll break a record from 2008 even kansas, 70 degrees goodland, kansas that breaks the record back in 1962 of 66 so because we have that cold air and the warm air ahead of it the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms wednesday and thursday for the central u.s. again behind it because we've got that cold air in place , big time snow for the sierra nevada in towards the rockies and the inner mountain west so this is great news for skiers and snowpack and the drought situation, but it is going to lead to some travel problems already over two feet of snow on top of that another one to two feet, so epic snow happening across the west and then the heavy rain for parts of southern california, good news for the drought, bad news because a lot of that will cause flash flooding we'll keep you up-to-date of course foxweather .com to get america's best weather, ainsley and abbey, over to you. ainsley: thank you so much janice. well there's nowhere like home for the holidays and fox nation is helping you get cozy on your couch, with christmas movies, like where the magic of christmas creates true love, watch. >> she's going to come to her senses and find love in the right person. i can't take that chance, nick. i need you to step aside and let sarah have the life she's always wanted. >> oh, hey, you don't like this >> no. >> i said don't touch that. don't touch it, okay? >> no, no, no! >> ♪ we wish you a merry christmas ♪ ainsley: here to give us a preview of that, abbey hornacek, hey, abbey. >> that must have been in the sierra nevada or the rockies according to janice dean because it's supposed to snow there and make a snowman. thanks so much for having me, ainsley. it's such a cute movie. cute name too, right? so, it's all about sarah. she every year builds this snowman with her best friend nick and she pretends it's her boyfriend because she wants to be swept away in a romance, and one year, she named it cole, and said i want him to be charming and funny and then one day, she gets a knock on her door from a human man, named col e, with all those characteristics so there was christmas magic in the air and brought him to life so she gets into this romance with cole , but nick is in the background as if that trend he's been in love with her since day one so does she end up with cole or nick? i'd never ruin the answer. ainsley: how does she choose. the next one is how sarah got her wing, and let's watch a clip first and then you can explain it. >> all right >> ainsley: i think that we have it. >> i'm afraid so, sweetie. >> [dog barking] >> and your little dog too. >> i always wanted to do that. >> so this is heaven? >> no, no, [laughter] no this is just the lobby. ainsley: so she is in heaven? >> almost. ainsley: okay. >> by the way you guys matched that could have been you in the movie you were in one of our fox nation christmas movies. ainsley: yeah, did one last year >> so also sarah, she gets to heaven waiting in the lobby to get into the gates of heaven and realizes she's not on the list so she has to go back and she has to finish some unfinished business. she thinks it's because she needs to help her ex-boyfriend move on, and find true love with this girl that he used to date. so she's working the entire movie with him, he can see her but no one else can, and she gets back to the gates of heaven and has to do it all before christmas eve in order to get in and she's worried she's not going to make it because like all christmas movies there's a message at the end, was it really about helping her ex- boyfriend or was it about something bigger? ainsley: okay, all right and the last one is an evergreen christmas. tell us about it. >> yeah, so evergreen christmas follows a story of evie lee whose dad passes away and she lives in los angeles so she has to leave her big town life and have to go back to her small town life in tennessee and it follows just her trying to get back to her family but get back to her roots and she finds out she's the executor of her family's christmas tree farm so she owes taxes on about $3 million so she's trying to save this christmas tree farm and she has a boyfriend whose horrible, nobody likes him but in comes a guy from her past who her family loves and there's a little bit of romance there as well. ainsley: she ends up ditching her boyfriend? >> i don't know ainsley you can't ruin it. ainsley: all family friendly movies watch them with your kids too. thank you so much abbey. well this holiday season you can sign up for fox

blue jeans and get back to work. reporter: do you think it's possible big cities are dealing with increased criminal activity because prosecutors are too soft on crime? >> we have seen an increase over the course of the pandemic. >> yeah, it's the pandemic causing the crime, because when you're forced to wear a mask, you might as well rob somebody at gunpoint. >> the daily wire taking the

weekend tornado es that have left at least 88 people dead. >> continue to pray for everyone in kentucky and the other states who were affect ed and particularly my heart goes out to the governor of kentucky whose lost his family himself. it's pretty rough stuff. steve: it is rough stuff. kentucky governor andy bashir becoming emotional on the loss of life and it was extensive. >> we are now up to 74 kentucky that we have lost. the age range is five months to 86 years. ainsley: then we learned the youngest was actually two months old. this incident, there she is, a little baby girl. she is the youngest victim, they went all into the bathroom, and the force of the winds blew the family into the neighbor's house and this poor little girl was strapped in her car seat so that she wouldn't, you know, fly away, but the force was just too much and she ended up not making it. the national guard joining the effort as well as more than 100 people remain missing, the tornadoes are so powerful. some personal items actually showed up 150 miles away. brian: employees at the collapsed kentucky candle factory say they were told they westbound fired if they left before the tornado hit and in illinois, osha now investigating the amazon warehouse collapse, more let's go to chief meteorologist rick reichmuth in mayfield, kentucky. rick: good morning, guys. we kind of have a different back drop for you now we've been showing so much of the town and we'll have some live drone video that we could be showing at the same time that we're talking about this. you can see downtown we're about a mile away from downtown here in the graves county fair grounds and i'm joined here by sandra delk. you work for the fair grounds. this is where you come to work but this place untouched, we're about a mile away. thank goodness, because this is serving as a staging area for a lot of the goods that are coming in for people in great need. >> yes, it is. we've been getting donations here since saturday morning. they're coming in all hours of the night. they are coming from all over the country. we've had calls twice from pennsylvania and then the people stay and help. they aren't going anywhere, and we've had calls from florida, california, everywhere and they are sending money, bringing money to us, they are helping in every way possible and as you can see what all they are doing but this is not even, we've had so much more coming, and but it's going out quickly. rick: the amount of goods that come in after a disaster from the generous people who want to help but sometimes it can overwhelm a town and you guys have this really well-organized. imagine everybody whose lost their homes, they've lost their cars and they have no food, no clothes, they have no cleaning supplies, and so you guys have setup a really amazing system here, and this is people can just come by and pick-up what they need. >> what has happened is when it all started coming in, we were really overwhelmed and we had a lot of clothing in here and bedding, and that was just kind of taken us over so we ended up shipping that out to the churches and they're taking care of that the local churches, which is really wonderful, but and then we were able to make more room in here but we also have another building in the back that we're using and it's larger than this one, and it's more for surplus and then but as you can see , it is more organized now than it ever has been but that's because we've had such great volunteers. they're coming in here and saying tell me what to do, and that's it. they are staying a long time. rick: i think if you are looking on the screen and you see the drone of the damage in town, then you come a mile away which is always a crazy thing in these tornadoes that other spots isn't touched which is the case here and what a blessing to have such a big facility that you can do this kind of organization for the people. >> oh, yeah and you can see things like t-mobile, we're using their, they brought a generator in for us and it's hooked up out here and that's how we have lights because we don't have electric or water here, so that's how we have these lights in here. rick: the generator is so important for mayfield right now all the support, anything specific you guys still are in need of? >> seriously probably more generators. i know we've got a lot coming but some of these people, we don't even know about like right outside town, we don't know if they're okay really. we know they may not have electricity. trees might be on their cars, they have no transportation so things like that, yes but you can see and i know things like we've got so much, but -- we're shipping to the filters here as well as people driving in, picking up, walking and getting what they need, so it's going fast. rick: it's amazing work you're doing and all of the volunteers. have you a long road ahead of you and you'll need a lot more supplies so thank you for what you're doing. >> thank you and can i show this? rick: of course, please. >> okay if you are wanting to send anything to help us out money-wise, here we go. this is the address, and we really appreciate all, the whole country has come together for us rick: as they always do. >> its been amazing. rick: thank you so much. >> thank you. appreciate it. rick: guys back to you. steve: rick, we were just talking ainsley and i were just talking about, you know, other communities we know of that have been impacted as they start to rebuild. when it comes to a hurricane, fema is able to pre-position assets because they know essentially where it's going to go. with a tornado that's impossible to know, so any idea as somebody picks up their phone there, any idea how soon fema can be there with generators because she said they need generators. rick: yeah, i don't have an answer to that. i don't know what has been put in place. any idea if fema has come in yet with any generators? >> i believe they have not come in yet. we have not had contact. i have not had contact with them yet. rick: according to sandra here, not aware of it but i don't have that information. steve: okay, rick, thank you very much. as we look at the flight team video, this is a live image over mayfield. you're talking about what are you going to rebuild? with the exception of that historic hotel in the background right there, that's brick-and-mortar, what else is left to rebuild? i mean, they are going to have to start from scratch. it's just heartbreaking. the town i grew up in, and went to high school in, clay center in kansas, my junior year of high school, a tornado went right through downtown. it took years for them to rebuild but they didn't have a fraction of the devastation they have in mayfield. ainsley: i know i remember being a child & hurricane hugo came through barreling through south carolina and demolished lots of beaches but then they did rebuild, and they ended up building these beautiful beach houses that used to be small little homes, so eventually, hopefully this town will be able to do that and rebuild. brian: the key is going to be the red tape. are they in there with money, they have the red tape to get through it and places like new york with so much legislation out there, and so many environmental impact studies it takes forever for things to get built, meanwhile, while people look at what was once a pretty big city or a big town a lot of people say well what about the farms? that was the question i posed to keith lowry, a farmer, who was actually dodged a lot of the damage but has been helping out with food and more and his equipment and ryan quarrels. he talks about everything from the hatcheries to the chicken coups this really could affect the supply chain for the country and for his county. listen. >> on the local level here is going to be impacted for years the way it is but we don't want to brag on the farming community here, they stepped up. they've been here to help and do whatever needed to be done. >> it's going to take several days if not weeks to really determine the extensive agricultural damage but i'm a farm kid myself and there's one thing we know that keith just talked about is that when we get knocked down we get backup, we pat the dust off our blue jeans and get back to work. steve: absolutely, and the farmers do have the heavy equipment tractors and whatnot to help move stuff which is very helpful. as we saw rick talking to the lady at the fair grounds, and they've organized, you know, a clothing drive and things like that, yesterday, we heard from the first lady of kentucky, britney beshear, and she has organized given that we're 11 days away from christmas they've organized a state-wide toy drive they're looking for new toys, games, books and technology that are new, unwrapped, and in the original packing. they are also asking for $25 visa and mastercard gift cards. they do not need any clothes. there are locations throughout the state, the commonwealth of kentucky, where you can drop those things off and if you like more information, just google that and if you like to send things their way, i'm sure -- ainsley: look at the devastation how many christmas presents are in all of this , these piles of rubble that parents have bought for their kids and that it's just gone. christmas is gone for many of these families. brian: the other major story that outside the natural disaster is the manmade disaster and that is what's happening with crime in this country and we see more and more major cities totally preventable crime waves. a lot of these smash-and-grab, a lot of it just flat out pick pocket. we have arson that burned down this tree, you see it on people throw people on top of the train tracks, it doesn't matter, there's no cash bail, almost no prosecution at the same time they are emptying out the prisons because that is what how some women view it as kim that justice reform and that's why the president of the united states is getting terrible reviews when it comes to crime. only 36% of the country approve of the way he's handling the major cities, and if he has got a problem with it he can point his finger right to the democratic governors, excuse me, democratic governors, and mayors , and more importantly, a lot of the d. a.'s that do not prosecute the crime and what doesn't allow the cops to enforce the crime. ainsley: the wall street journal is reporting some of these smash-and-grabs are being organized on social media on snapchat and snapchat saying no, we don't have any evidence of organized, these platforms organizing on our website. brian: i'm sure. ainsley: but we're seeing dozens of them walking into these stores and sometimes you'll hear 40 of them go in, look there was so much merchandise on these shelves gone. brian: high end stuff. ainsley: exactly. steve: at one of the high end stores in nordstroms in los angeles, in a neighborhood known as the grove, you know, it's a very upscale area, at the grove, they were robbed on november 22, they had 18-20 looters go in and so what they're doing today, they started a couple of weeks ago, they've got this high coil fence barrier, it looks like bar bed wire. it's not designed to cause injury, but can tangle a person in it whose trying to get away just think about it if running through that way. ainsley: they roll it out at night and take it away in the morning. steve: it's near the entrances of the various locations they have also hired more security, and a lot of off-duty officers who are in their uniforms and they have their side arms as well. peter doocy, our white house correspondent, asked the press secretary yesterday, about the president and crime, and this is what she had to say. reporter: do you think it's possible that big cities are dealing with these smash-and-grab robberies right now, increase in criminal activity, because some prosecutors are too soft on crime? >> i would say we have seen, i'm not going to attribute the reasoning from here, what i will tell you is we have seen an increase in crime over the course of the pandemic. there are a range of reasons for that and what our focus is on is what we can do to address it. the president has proposed additional funding in the budget to make sure local police departments and cops have the funding they need. that's what our focus is on currently, is action. reporter: what good does it do if you give police departments extra money if they arrest bad guys and they bring them to jail , and then they're not prosecuted? >> what our focus on is making sure that the local leaders have the assistance and the funding they need and that's what we're working around the clock on. steve: there's that range of reasons again, this new buzzword at the white house, the range of conversations, range of reasons. and if there's no consequence or crime. ainsley: she said for further explanation, you need to contact local police departments. steve: or the department of justice. brian: if you keep saying things like range of reasons that means you could say whatever you want to the press but you'll never get to the core of the problem and the root of the problem if you keep saying range of reasons one of which is why are these stores being hit? because of the legislation that passed a lot of it votes for like 2014 with this proposition 47 that said you could take up to $990 now they organize whether it's on the internet or by organized crime it doesn't matter. they come in in huge waves nobody can stop them and they are coming for the high end stores which traumatizes the people working there and the ones shopping there and now some stores are flat-out closing in los angeles the crime wave has forced the celebrity designers to close her store, the owner of this boutique, the shopping mall has been the target of several flash mob thefts it's just not worth it grab and go on the lululemon side isn't going to work and it gets so expensive they have to keep doing things like we saw that innovative fence, is it really worth it? then you have to charge your customers more when the cops say i can't do anything? why would you put up with that if you don't have to? ainsley: one of the stores they stole, you know, one-time, they stole $120,000 worth of merchandise. what if you're a mom and pop? what if you're the celebrity lady that has her one store? that is so much money. imagine just someone walking in and stealing that from you. steve: and so what the retailers are saying is they are saying congress needs to pass this informed law so that the places like ebay and amazon and yahoo and goggle so that when somebody tries to sell the stolen louis vuitton purse you understand exactly who the seller is because a lot of the stuff is stolen and then put online. greg gutfeld last night on this program when he looks at the range of reasons of the crime, he doesn't see the pandemic. he sees something else, watch this. >> yeah, it's the pandemic causing the crime, because when you're forced to wear a mask you might as well rob somebody at gunpoint, right? and yes, the guns behind the violence because the pandemic has been able to cause guns to get up on their tiny little gun feet and pull their own triggers with their tiny little gun hands, but the fact is the media can't accurately report on anything, whether it's perversions or fatalities since they are always implicated in them. while deaths spiked they buried them because they champion policies and ideas that contributed to that. they defund the police and then camouflage it by saying it's really just a funding shift, it's like planting a bush in front of a septic tank, they try to hide the consequences of their destructive beliefs. they supported no cash bail, while championing the shutdowns, turning the city streets into a john wick said al qaeda minus the freedom. steve: and then there was last week where in chicago the leader s there were blaming the retailer. you don't have enough security. brian: it's that idiot mayor. the owner of a high end sneaker store asking for the public's help in identifying the people that broke into her business thursday, and made off with all the merchandise. it's called undisputed soul so you have a high end sneaker thing you make the big investment to get a high end customer and next thing you know everything is gone, and there's nobody to prosecute, and the cop s say our hands are tied. it's really not going to, the overall point of this is, it's not democrat or republican. it's right or wrong. this just wrong. all these policies are wrong. it's not even hard. how could you bw pro-criminal? that's what you're asking people to do, is be pro-criminal. it is nuts, and just continue to punish small business. steve: well there's a range of reasons for it according to the white house. ainsley: unbelievable that you can just walk in and steal less than $1,000 and there's no consequences. steve: or do half a million dollars worth of damage. brian: they call it party time online. let's go smash-and-grab and we could still go dance tonight. steve: thank, social media. all right, 8:18 now here in the east. carlie joins us news out of philly. reporter: that's right. a range of crimes starting with a fox news alert here, philadelphia state senator's office and an naacp office damaged by gunfire last night in philadelphia. police say two men waited for another man to leave the apartments above the office and fired nine shots. no one was killed but one man is in critical condition. philadelphia leads the nation with 524 homicides this year, that's more murder than new york city and los angeles while at least 12 democrat-led cities break annual homicide records. >> former white house speaker staff mark meadows is calling out the january 6 committee for recommending criminal charges after he refused to testify. >> it's disappointing but not surprising, and let's be clear about this , sean. this is not about me holding me in contempt. it's not even about making the capitol safer. we see that by some of the selective leaks that are going on right now. this is about donald trump and about actually going after him once again. reporter: meadows is no longer cooperating with the investigation into the events surrounding the january 6 attack. this morning the rules committee will vote on whether or not to move forward with the process of holding meadows in contempt of congress. >> well, this just in. a study shows pfizer's covid pill is effective in preventing hospitalization or death if taken during initial symptoms. while the study mostly involved patients with a delta variant, experiments show that paxlivid successfully fights omicron as well according to pfizer. the company's vaccine is also 70 % effective in preventing omicron's hospitalizations according to a new south african study. and those are your headlines. steve: you know it was about a year ago we didn't have vaccines or pills and now we've got both brian: just now they said, died with the omicron virus, they didn't

>> thank you, steve, for that question. basically, it says i get a second chance. i don't have to study. if it's a disincentive because now the kid knows he doesn't have to work all year, he doesn't have to do his work, his homework, it takes away the incentive because he's getting a second chance and when a kid fails a class do you know what we did? he had to take the class all over again. it gives the teacher the chance to relax and say do you know what? i don't have to work as hard. again, this is nothing more than a back doorway to please public school unions and this is more of the critical race nonsense because do you know what? it targets kids based on skin color. it's racist and i find that offensive. ainsley: several things i worry about as kids go through this they're not prepared for higher education. they might get into a really good school because they have all a's and b's because they dropped every class they were making a d in. so they have that advantage. they go to higher education they aren't prepared. think about in the medical industry. what if they went into the medical field and skipped college and instead went to a tech school, became you know, a nurse or something like that, and then they are operating or in the operating room working on your loved one. >> ainsley, that's exactly spot -on. they're giving these kids a false sense of confidence and security. when the rubber hits the road and when they go to graduate school, medical school, law school, they won't be able to compete, because you know what? the smart parents are going to take their kids out of public schools, go to private schools and be facing the best and the brightest. i don't want a kid who basically skirted past grades in high school to work on me as a doctor or represent me as a lawyer. this is a prescription for failure later in their career. brian: if you have a private option take it over there, if that is possible. leo terrell thanks so much. >> thank you. steve: straight ahead on this tuesday, a family-owned restaurant was hosting two christmas parties just hours before those deadly tornadoes touched down in kentucky, and destroyed their building. the owners reflect on how the community is coming together to rebuild that restaurant, coming up, next. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ experience the power of sanctuary at the lincoln wish list event. i've spent centuries evolving with the world. that's the nature of being the economy. observing investors choose assets to balance risk and reward. with one element securing portfolios, time after time. gold. agile and liquid. a proven protector. an ever-evolving enabler of bold decisions. an asset more relevant than ever before. gold. your strategic advantage. steve: 74 people are now confirm ed dead in kentucky, with more than 100 still missing. steve harrigan is on the ground in dawson springs where at least a dozen residents were killed, steve? reporter: that's right, steve. search and recovery efforts continue here. this is a pretty small town of just 2,400 people. at least 13 have been identified dead, but 95 people are missing, so if you look at those numbers, one in every 20 people in this town is either dead or missing, from this storm. now we've talked to people all around asking them where they were at the moment this tornado went overhead, we spoke to one man who stayed in his basement as his house was destroyed by the tornado. he was with his wife and their 11-year-old granddaughter. here's what he told us. >> who was holding her? >> me and my wife. in between us. >> because you wanted to make sure? >> we wanted to make sure that, you know, she survived if we didn't, but we all wanted to survive but we really wanted her reporter: so that's a grandfather and his wife, in the basement, both with their arms around their 11-year-old granddaughter, trying to make sure that she survived even if they didn't. here in this town, it's about 60 % now completely destroyed. hundreds of homes in every direction you look, pretty much just debris at this point. steve, back to you. steve: all right, steve, live in dawson springs, kentucky, heartbreaking. meanwhile employees and customer s of car's steakhouse and barn in mayfield, kentucky are feeling lucky to be alive after getting out before the two buildings were destroyed in the storm. let's bring in the owners david and lauren car. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. steve: so david, that's your family restaurant. its been in your family since the 1950s. you turn around and you look at it, what do you think? >> well utter devastation. i got out when i did. steve: no kidding. lauren, explain why that particular place, that steak house behind you was so important because i know you and david met there, got married there but it's just part of your family. >> yeah, it was more than just a building to us. it's where we met, where we got married, it's where our kids birthday parties were, holiday gatherings but it's also where we met members of this community and came together. we were able to do some community service out of it, you know, a free thanksgiving dinner or a fundraiser for a soccer team or different things like that and it's just really sad to see the building no longer standing. steve: it's heartbreaking. david, i know you and lauren were at home not far from there when the tornadoes moved through mayfield. there were people in the restaurant. how did they get out? >> i was actually the last one out of the restaurant. we shutdown when we realized it was going to hit mayfield so i just told everybody to pack up and go home and all the patrons got out 15-to minutes before it hit. steve: and everybody went home. what are you going to do? i mean, your places have been such an important part of the fabric of mayfield for so long. i think people are counting on you rebuilding but that's a tall order. are you going to do it? >> i honestly don't know. we're still just trying to make sure everybody is okay. steve: yeah. yeah, i think one of our biggest concerns is just to make sure that our employees have the basic needs, food, water, and shelter and then go on from a business plan from there. steve: sure. david, how many of the businesses there in mayfield , how many of them have insurance and will be able to rebuild in some manner? >> i honestly have no idea. i would say there's going to be a few that do not, but truly do not know. steve: yeah, and lauren, how about your friends and other family members? everybody get through the storm okay? >> yeah, you know, i think at the end of the day, we are very blessed and lucky that there was nobody hurt in the building. there was nobody injured, but i know that that's not the case for everybody in our community and our hearts just break for those individuals. steve: right. i know that they've already taken some heavy equipment to the restaurant behind you and pushed it into a pile. what happens next? >> i don't know. i don't know what happens next. hopefully, within the next coming days we'll get some answers as far as different insurance and help for our employees. i know that there's funds out there, different organizations are coming together and it's just the overwhelming support is unbelievable. steve: yeah, and you have two children as well, you've got to worry about. if you didn't reopen the restaurant, what would you do? would you consider moving? >> i'm not considering moving. >> our roots are here. this is where we met and we raise our children, this is where we work and we will serve this community in some form and fashion. steve: well that's great. all right, so sorry about the total devastation. lauren and david carr, the owner s of carr's steakhouse, legendary spot there in mayfield , kentucky and today, gone. thank you very much. good luck to you. >> thank you. steve: all right 20 minutes now before the top of the hour, day two of our 12 days of giving find out how the tunnel 2 towers foundation is giving back to families of fallen heros this christmas season. we're going to talk to frank in a minute plus check back in with rachel campos-duffy whose having breakfast with friends near christmastown usa in north carolina. i've got a feeling we'll talk to that guy, coming up, next. >> ♪ just like the ones i used to know ♪ there's a different way to treat hiv. it's once-monthly injectable cabenuva. cabenuva is the only once-a-month, complete hiv treatment for adults who are undetectable. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider once a month. hiv pills aren't on my mind. i love being able to pick up and go. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems,...and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. with once-a-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. ask your doctor about once-monthly cabenuva. is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes with once-a-month cabenuva, i'm good to go. knocking you out of your zone?
