Is lockdowns ramp up across the country the wall street journals jason riley believes republicans are not the only ones seeing the hypocrisy. People talk about the hypocrisy but what is noteworthy to me is how you see a lot of liberal democrats in blue states also saying i dont care what the cdcs says. I can take precautions, do this safely. I can weigh the costs and benefits and risks and do this safely and tired of the nanny state is an. We knew conservatives were there already. What is interesting is a lot of people on the left seem to be fed up with this paternalism going on and i dont blame them. 42 states and washington dc have reinstalled coronavirus restrictions for the last month. Donald trump pardon former National Security adviser Michael Flynn the move is causing outrage among democrats. Lauren blanchard in washington as the left sounds off. Donald trump says he knows at least one person having a wonderful thanksgiving, Michael Flynn, the president announced the pardon in a tweet last night despite two guilty pleas for lying to the fbi, general flynn is now safe from the possibility of jail time, the judge in flynns case was expected to rule any day on flynns requested throughout the case, the doj had also stepped in. Flynns family said in a statement after the pardon announcement, quote, let our nation never allow this violation of an americans of all rights under the law happen again but Top Democrats especially those who lead the russia investigation which involved flynn are calling the pardon an act of grave corruption. Congressman adam schiff writing trump has once again abused the pardon power to reward Michael Flynn who chose loyalty to trump over loyalty to his country. Congressman jerry nadler said this pardon is undeserved, unprincipled and one more stain on Donald Trumps rapidly diminishing legacy. The president and his team at legal challenges to the election continue even as most of their lawsuits have been denied, dismissed or withdrawn. In pennsylvania a judge halted any further certification spending a hearing, the president called into a meeting between his legal team and gop Pennsylvania State senators yesterday. We have to turn the election over, no doubt we have all the evidence, all the affidavits, everything. Reporter although the president is fighting the result of the transition, the process of sharing classified information has begun. President elects first classified president ial Daily Briefing will happen monday. Reporter thank you. Happy thanksgiving. Joining us with his take on Michael Flynns partners National Security analyst ryan morrow, thanks for being here. You heard the report that you have democratic critics across the board saying this is corruption, abuse of the pardon power. What do you say . If you look at the history of president ial pardons this doesnt stand out, both because of the weak case against general flynn and because of what other president s have done. Look at mark rich, one of the biggest tax cheats in american history, a major criminal, donates to the democratic party, president bill clinton at that time pardons him. Compares that to what is going on with general flynn, isnt that big of a deal. Jillian a lot of supporters of donald trump are wondering why this happened in the first place. Why was the fbi so hellbent on investigating Michael Flynn. Here is former deputy National Security adviser kay t mcfarland on why it all went down in her opinion. It wasnt about general flynn. It was about getting donald trump. Senior officials in the obama administration, the west wing, the justice department, the fbi and the Intelligence Community knew Michael Flynn didnt commit any crime in talking to the russian ambassador. How do we make sure this doesnt happen again . Just going to have to be a lot of oversight and this will be a textbook example of misconduct an error that every single fbi investigator has to learn from, part of the requirement to do their job because this is not just a weak case but a bizarre case. According to the fbi agents who were interviewing flynn they didnt think that he lied and what you are seeing in the media and a lot of opinion makers basically do is conflating a bunch of things. The issue is a single count of allegedly lying to the fbi, but flynn had to plead guilty to under a lot of pressure, millions of dollars in legal fees, to fight for his innocence, you had to destroy his life and his familys life, lose everything in the hope of victory and that should scare all of us, that you can be put in that position where because of finances you might take a plea deal because you have no other choice. 20 seconds left to go but do you see anyone next, paul manafort, roger stone granted clemency but does he get a full pardon . I suspect so but he prepared for a lot, general flynn, i share concerns, acting as a Foreign Agent for the radical islamic dictatorship of turkey. I get that but that is not the charge we are talking about and Everyone Needs to understand that. Thank you for your insight and joining us, appreciate it. In a few hours the annual macys thanksgiving day parade will get underway but the holiday tradition will look a lot different. There wont be thousands of people standing on new york city streets in the parade route will only span one part, giant balloons will still fly but wont have dozens of handlers on the ground. All participants are required to wear a facemask including performers. Parts of the parade have already been pretaped to discourage crowds from forming but we still get up parade. Turned to fox news after that. It is 10 minutes after the hour the president said fight wasnt over the pennsylvania judge agreed. What comes next . We are asking a member of the Trump Campaigns recounts team to join us next. Jillian we ask you what you are thankful for this year. Charlie white says hes thankful for his family and friends and martino saying for her constant companion. Fox and friends first producer katie thankful for her niece and nephew. They are adorable. Give them an inch and they take a mile and give them a mile and they take your whole country. The legislature in this regard acted improperly. They conducted a completely sham election. A pennsylvania judge orders the state department certifying its president ial Election Results as a lawsuit aims to declare all mail quote unconstitutional. Where do we go from here . A member of the Trump Campaign recounting joins us, appreciate it. For those at home who are watching, havent followed up with every detail. Get us caught up to where we are because it is very complicated and unprecedented. It certainly is. Certain policies like act 77 was allow lawmakers to unlawfully expand the process of mail in ballots, things like this where is an eyebrow and you look at act 77 allowing them to expand balloting measure, normally voters in a casebycase, one by one, verification etc. As with act 77 it allows the legislature to say everything on an individual ballot, in violation of the original act so it is supposed to be based on an actual legitimate excuse, they totally disregard that and say it doesnt matter, we will wipe it out and do it our way. That is a problem and places like pennsylvania and nevada dealing with their own issues so the entire process needs to be redone. We are tired of individuals in the legislature across america taking things in their own hands. That is what this should be, not based on what other individuals feel like it should be and because we have had a pandemic it does not give individuals the right to have a free for all and that is what this is about, the integrity of the election process. Pennsylvanias attorney general says it doesnt matter because the Election Results in the state have already been certified, he posted a tweeting this does not impact yesterdays electors, we will be filing an appeal with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court momentarily, doesnt matter, hes filing an appeal anyway. What is your reaction . The most important thing, what we are doing, we are here on the ground in nevada working on the process, presenting evidence but this point in pennsylvania, obviously the process has been delay but to stop certification nothing else at this point, any additional results for the president ial race and down ballot races at this time have been stopped which is a phenomenal thing. The American People are tired of the elitism, the ability to do what they want to do. Its not right and it is important to have a free and Fair Election and that is what this comes down to and being able to be part of the nevada state gop party is a phenomenal process and we are ready for our process and that is why i am here today working through the holidays because we believe in a free and Fair Election the American People deserve to have Economic Freedom and freedom in our elections and the election process that has been manipulated on any given day, needs to be a clean and fair process and that is what this is about and i want the American People to understand this has nothing to do with being addictive, has to do with us having a free and Fair Election. Absolutely and we know youre working hard since you woke up early, youre in that hotel room, hope you kick your feet up a little later today, thank you for joining and find turkey somewhere. Happy thanksgiving. Hotel turkey.

This year it has yet to be announced, last years seamless spirit of america, attributed to the traditions and history of what makes america great. So we know the holidays will look different this year but one colorado breweries taking unique to a whole new level, delivering your christmas beer by reindeer. When we heard about a we had to talk to the guy in charge from breckenridge brewery, joining us with more on the rain be a e sweepstakes. You and the other folks decided to bring the christmas cheer to folks at home. Tell us about it. We know things are weird and some of our family traditions have been squashed so we decided to create a new one and we deliver specifically this big guy here, these mini kegs of legendary christmas ale to a bunch of folks in denver and cascade, colorado. We had to limit it because the reindeer are busy. Or and dancer down all those guys will help us. It is fun. Where did you get the reindeer . We have some friends at a ranch in parker, colorado, southeast of downtown denver proper. It is common moon dear ranch, our friend apple runs the ranch with the family of reindeer. A picture of acute little reindeer. I shouldnt say little. Those in the denver area that can win a chance at getting beer delivered, how do they enter to win . Go to our website, you can go there, go to our website and you will see on the homepage the reindeer on the front, you have until the second of december because we will do these deliveries on the fifth and sixth. So far we have had 2500 people. Without talking about this. I was really actually humbled when i saw how much you are doing for your community this Holiday Season including for frontline workers. Talk about what you are doing and the importance of it. Ever since march we started delivering meals out of our farmhouse restaurant at our main brewery in breckenridge but out of littleton we have been doing things and working with frontline workers where you can go to the same website and donate a meal, 10 bucks and then deliver it. We are doing ride around, it is over 1000 a month we are helping out folks on the front line and it ties into this program.

The time is 26 after the our. Las Outdoor Dining than the latest in the democrats charge toward lockdown but the science doesnt always back them up. Are they focusing on factor piddling fear .

Reporter it is absolutely devastating to think three people out there in our county supervisor board deemed appropriate with little to no data whatsoever to shut us all down, for a lot of businesses a deathknell after everything we have been through. One Los Angeles CountyRestaurant Owner speaking out as Outdoor Dining is shutdown. The latest numbers show 3 of coronavirus cases come from restaurants. Should we be punishing already struggling businesses like restaurants, here to debate that is democratic strategists, and republican strategist, happy thanksgiving to both of you and thanks for being here. I will start with you. What do you think . Restaurant owners and gym owners seem to have been so hardhit by the restrictions and the shutdowns and to ban Outdoor Dining when we are told outdoors is the safest place you can be, what do you think of this . It does seem like a punishment for these Restaurant Owners. It is painful. If youre a Small Business owner these restrictions really impact your business but the reality is 13 million americans have been infected, 260,000 have died, the longterm effects of covid19 we dont even know, people are losing use of their lungs, their heart and other things coming up so the restrictions are there to keep a safe environment and yet individually it is difficult for a lot of folks. A lot of businesses but no one is trying to punish a business. We are just trying to keep people safe and keep our family safe. What about the fact we are told outdoors is one of the safest locations we can be . It is safer to be outdoors but if youre sitting two feet away from someone face to face, and a lot of people are talking a lot of
