don't be surprised if you have a rift at microsoft about whether we should go sam altman full on a.i. or what the altruistic types are saying inside chatgpt. >> first time saw sam altman worried about how dangerous there could be. >> could be. still took the money and going full force. is he a true believer. members of that board are not. we are going to hear this debate. let's say be everybody moves to microsoft. this debate will occur at microsoft. guaranteed. >> brian: you will be back, charlie. >> okay. >> brian: fox business. the second hour of "fox & friends" starts right now. >> steve: it is 7:00 a.m. on the east coast. start with a fox weather alert. as americans hit the roads and skies ahead of thanksgiving over the river and through the woods to grandma's house. you have hail ma'am memberring gulf coast states on monday. fox weather radar confirms tornadoes did touch down. look at that right there, in southern louisiana last night. >> ainsley: it is part of the severe storm system with at least 20 million americans in the past. >> lawrence: it's already creating headaches for travelers. flight aware reporting more than 9300 delays at u.s. airports since sunday, brian. >> brian: can only get worse with millions expected to hit the skies today and several major airports already looking crowded, hence the bed music. janice dean with live this morning with our fox weather forecast. you are outdoors. i am outdoors. we are in new jersey right across the river. we are going to be interviewing some band members that will be at the macy's thanksgiving day parade first we have to get everybody to their final des continue nation. yesterday we had hail, large winds and tornadoes for louisiana and mississippi. several reports yesterday afternoon into the evening. there were several tornado watches and we are expecting the same today especially are across portions of the gulf coast and southeast and even into the mid-atlantic. so we -- this is the secondary severe season. you think about severe weather. we have a first severe weather season in the springtime and then in the fall which is what is happening. the rest of the country pretty quiet, millions of people live along the eastern seaboard. and that's exactly where we're going to see severe storms but could see the potential for heavy snow and even some freezing rain across interior sections of the northeast. there is the ice forecast. that's the worst thing can you travel on if you are on the roadway. so, i want to make sure everyone has a backup plan in case you're delayed or you are canceled at the airports or it's too dangerous to drive on the roadway. so your airport delays, again, across portions of the great lakes, the southeast, up towards the northeast today where we have, you know, the most people, basically. where we have the travel delays and the possible cancellations. so fox weather.com for all of your latest details. i can't stress it enough. if you are going to the airport today, there are going to be delays there are going to be cancellations. have a backup plan and, please be safe. don't, you know, don't travel just because you think you have got to get somewhere. i would rather you stay home and travel when it's not so busy. and thanksgiving, by the way, looks really good. really good forecast for thanksgiving. so live in weehawken new jersey. we love it here. back inside. >> brian: excuse me, janice, is anthony fauci letting us have thanksgiving this year? are we allowed to. >> ainsley: outdoors. only outdoors. >> janice: you are allowed. >> steve: j.d., thank you very much. it's beautiful in new york. it's the calm before the storm. meanwhile the u.s. army is pulling a 180 now inviting soldiers back after kicking them out. >> brian: can you believe this? >> steve: for refusing to get the covid vaccine back in the day. >> brian: really? sorry about that. the pentagon is reportedly looking to use millions of taxpayer dollars towards their diversity push as well. >> ainsley: peter doocy is live at the white house to tell us more. peter? >> peter: the army is having a tough time right now getting people to join. there were 10,000 short of their latest recruiting goal, so they are starting to court people they kicked out for not getting the covid vax. this letter just went out to about 1900 people. it says in part as a result of the rescission of all current covid-19 vaccination requirements. former soldiers who were involuntarily celebrated for refusal to receive the covid-19 vaccination may request a correction of their military records from either or both the army discharge review board or the army board for correction of military records. well, what a change. because in february of 2022, the army secretary said army readiness depends on soldiers who are prepared to train, deploy, fight and win our nation's wars. unvaccinated soldiers present risks to the force and jeopardize readiness. we will begin involuntary separation proceedings for soldiers who refuse to receive the vaccine and are not pending a final decision on exentle. they are boosting up the budget for inclusion and accessibility training. 68 million. 2023. 86.5 million. the 2024 request is for $114 million plus 700,000 and change. it's not just that the dod. the heritage foundation oversight project is publishing a sheet that's been given to cbp officers and it's instructing them to use gender neutral language with anybody that they encounter until they know that person's name and preferred pronouns. back to you. >> brian: unbelievable. >> steve: peter, are these instructions from the white house or are these from pentagon brass okay this is how we are operating this joint now. >> it would be coming from the cbp's bureaucratic overlords here in washington, d.c. going out to all the different brants men and women on the front lines. >> at a time we are worried about the budget and deficit. defense b -- budget picking all the money they can we are putting it into diversity. >> they might be worried about potential wars in the middle east growing and in the south china sea starting but they are not there yet. so they have got some extra money laying around. >> lawrence: this is so stupid. >> brian: dumbest thing you ever heard. >> lawrence: black. head of the joint chief who is black. what else are they trying to push in the recruitment overall for the military is down. they are passing out tbis to our guys on the ground every single day and there is no response. >> peter: only 100 people in the army got though letter. they were 10,000 short of the recruiting goal for the last year. it would make a dent in it and certainly 1900 people who are willing to serve their country. that is a lot. but, it is short of the pentagon's overall goal here. >> brian: every branch except the marines. all right, thanks, peter. >> ainsley: they really have messed this up. >> brian: making it worse. so stupid. >> ainsley: we have fewer men and women defending our country. now they are asking them to come back. look at what is happening in sanctuary cities. we need to be a sanctuary city and welcoming of everyone. when they send everyone oh, we don't want sanctuary status anymore. >> brian: this is why policies of the previous four years better and better than what we experienced three years. you don't need to run a campaign ad. we are in upside down world. >> ainsley: where is the common sense? four years ago when they were implementing all these stupid plans, people would say this is just not -- where is the common sense? now people are waking up. >> steve: look at the commander-in-chief. i mean, it's obviously part of what he wants in this administration. >> brian: equity. >> steve: ebb yesterday was joe biden's birthday. oldest person. >> brian: that really snuck up on me. >> steve: take a look at this. that bonfire right there is something that they have posted and it says thanks for the birthday well-wishes today, everybody. turns out on your 146th birthday you are running out of steam. >> brian: hysterical. >> ainsley: such a weird thing to say. >> lawrence: real issue for the american public right now. i don't think he takes it seriously at all. >> ainsley: of course others when all this comes out birthday reporters an opportunity to talk about is he prepared to run for four more years. be president for four more years and operation bubble wrap. more come out. people close to biden push him to replace his formal shoes the ones that y'all have on because of risk of falling and wear some more comfortable shoes. walk shorter distances while on camera. >> steve: in that article and politico playbook highlighted "the washington post" "new york times" reporting on it. it said it blamed his stiff gate on the fact that, you know, the way he walks, that he broke his foot playing with his dog a couple years ago. >> lawrence: always. >> steve: that's the cover story. always an excuse. >> steve: blame the dog. >> ainsley: same dog that. >> brian: two dogs ago they both attacked people. >> ainsley: one breaks your foot. >> brian: four-some. >> ainsley: talk to the panel. so let's begin here. lawrence, why don't you start us off. as biden continues to struggle with democratic voters. several new polls show trump leading nationally. let's take a closer look. >> brian: too big to egg another. and the -- obviously what's in the margin of error. nothing is a year out. >> lawrence: if the election were held today, it's showing that joe biden would only get 44%. donald trump is still at 46 percent. brian. this is a drop from that 51%. and that's nbc. >> brian: nbc he has never been leading in the nbc poll. weave will break it down and see the battleground states. among voters 18 to 34. usually bad news for republican nominee. even if younger than donald trump. not bad news right now. and that is a lot to do with this israeli-hamas war. the president is on the right side of this. but a third of his party is for the palestinian-hamas cause. which is more than a little scary. remember what happened at the div ng headquarters a couple days ago? they hurt six cops, raiding the dnc headquarters full of democrats and these are left wing democrats attacking democrats, hurting police officers. >> lawrence: brian, as you said, it's the war. it's also being let down when it comes to the student loans. he said he was going to forgive them. he went through the process. illegal. the supreme court said you can't do that. >> brian: student loan big as farce. alienated people to got into the trades. went a different direction. why are you paying off other people's loans in one age bracket. this is the key. independents. it's the only portion of the electorate that keeps growing. independents. and look at this. only 6 #%. all right. >> lawrence: these are the people that got him elected by the way that he has lost them. got "new york times." in nevada, swing state up by 10 points, donald trump is michigan up by 5. >> brian: can i stop here a second? this is going to be key. abortion on the ballot in nevada. that could be the wrensing point. the fact that trump is up by 10 there is significant. shows he has a little bit of room. >> lawrence: to your point, brian, donald trump has a little bit of a different message than the other candidates running on abortion. look, you have got to be realistic here. you got to get voters there passing national bans just isn't going to work. >> brian: jim crow 2.0, right the people of georgia know better. stacey abrams is not the governor. kemp trounced her. trump is leading by 6 despite being sued by the district attorney there because evidently he wasn't happy with that turnout. i heard he had a problem with the last election. we will follow up on that story. >> lawrence: the issue that got donald trump elected the first time, is he leading on that issue by 12 points. and then on the national stage, with everything that is going on, 12 points there as well. >> brian: you see what he said the palestinian conflict. all in for israel. starting to pull back on that a little bit. the fact israel alienating other people. national security, trump is trouncing big timement on immigration i thought it would be even more. let's look at the last poll. >> yeah. if the election were held today in a head-to-head. you got donald trump at 49%. biden at 45%. >> brian: how much do you think cnn hated to see this gap because they had to spend all their time saying well, joe biden is old. they wish they would get a new candidate. >> lawrence: increase for the 46%. good for donald trump. >> brian: nikki haley consistently does slightly better than donald trump head-to-head with joe biden. they are beginning to attack nikki haley. just in case she ends up finding a way to surge past president trump and be the nominee. >> lawrence: finally ron desantis against the president 48%. the american people are saying any republican but joe. >> brian: right. ron desantis again. they thought he was going to be the number one guy. he is still very much in contention. they are going after him whenever they can and they keep on bringing up the six week abortion ban in florida. >> lawrence: big question is, brian, all these republican candidates have said donald trump can't be elected. we like his policies but he just can't win. it looks like that argument is being taken away. >> brian: it is. it's going to be very hard to make it. as lawrence and i just showed you, the president is dealing with a deficit at this moment. i would like to tell you the rest of the things i have to say but i'm just at a loss for words. i'm go to possibly toss it over to ainsley and steve. >> steve: come on over here. >> ainsley: as brian and lawrence were just showing you the president dealing with record low approval numbers look at that just 40% less than a year to go until the big day. seemingly inevitable rematch. >> steve: we have assembled in our studio a voter panel on this. seven folks with us. we were talking to them earlier. let's talk again. because the neyer, why is president trump leading with independents. >> doesn't seem to be anybody else who has traction. there may be other people attractive but the numbers are what they are. the fact is that his numbers are overwind chilling he may be the guy. >> ainsley: two other independents. lizzy, i follow you on instagram because we met during these panels. and you are a staunch advocate for israel. you were in israel at the time of the attacks. my question to you is, do you think this is going -- the jewish vote is normally democratic. do you think that will change in the next election because republicans are pro-israel. and it seems that many of my jewish friends, peers, in the city say now we are looking in a different direction. >> you are exactly right, ainsley. all the jewish people that i know personally have become single issue voters in the past six weeks. we believe that israel is violate for our security as the jewish people. and our integral relationship with the united states has become primary focus every other issue has been put on the shelf right now. >> steve: lizzy? >> i think it's hugely important not just for the jewish people but for the state of democracy. we are literally watching democracy fall right now. i think, honestly, there is almost a democratic civil war in that party. and we're watching it unfold. and i think people are just fed up. >> steve: yeah. exit question for you real fast. you right now we are a year out it looks like a rematch between joe biden and donald trump. if they're the two candidates, how many people, show of hands, think that people will go i already voted on that and not vote at all? any? >> i disagree. i think what i'm running into more is people who -- and i know in my inner circle, four people who have never voted. >> steve: okay. >> in over 30 years of being able to vote, are telling me they are voting for president trump. >> steve: and you are a republican. interesting stuff. >> you are shaking your head yes. >> it's true. >> people who haven't voted in decades, all right? registered democrat, are now changing their party affiliation. >> ainsley: did you that. >> to either republican or conservative. >> all this stuff they are doing to our kids in schools. we don't like what is going on with our economy. we don't like how we are being told how we have to act. who voted for this? what is going on with the border? 16 million people crossing the border. $30 trillion deficit? anybody but biden. >> it's obvious that what is happening now is not working. we are a society based on law and order. yet we are not enforcing law and order. we are being run by fear and bullying and everybody is afraid to be politically incorrect or offend somebody. absolutely not. we need a change. >> steve: people are angry. >> absolutely angry. >> steve: we're going to continue the conversation in a little bit. we are still a year out. it's really good to take the pulse of the country. >> ainsley: our country is divided. >> steve: meanwhile, still ahead this story. a biological male switches to the female swimming team. and, guess what? they break the school record. >> ainsley: shocker. >> steve: that is coming up shortly. >> ainsley: plus, former president trump marking his rival's birthday by releasing his clean bill of health from his doctor. our in house doctor dr. siegel is going to talk about it next. we are two days away from the big thanksgiving day parade here in new york city. and the legendary band director's marching band warming up on "fox & friends." ♪ ♪ my a1c was up here; now, it's down with rybelsus®. his a1c?
